EXCURSIONS.

The first Thursday night trip to Indian
Head on the steamer Manchester was a
complete success. The two morning boats
carried down immense crowds who spent
the day at Marshall Hall, and in the even
ing took the beautiful sail to Indian Head
on the $50 boat. 1t is estimated that 5000
people took tho trip during the day yester-
day and enjoy the breezes and attractions
at the Hail. The Ferris wheel in particular
was the object of general admiration, and
many hundreds made the ascent, express
ing themselves as being delighted with the
beautiful view obtained from the top Of
the big circle. The dancing floor was
crowded, and Prof. Schroeder's orchestra
discoursed the best Of music throughout
the evening The Thursday, Friday and
Saturday night trips will be run on regular
schedule time for the rest Of the season
from the present date.
Tomorrow is the last chance the children
will have to see Minerva, the champion
strong woman of the world, and Herr Blatt,
who catches a cannon ball fired straight at
him from an immense steel gun. The fare
on the 9:45 and 1 AS boats is 10 cents, and
the little ones can have a full day of pleas
ure for this moderate sum. The Saturday
family trips are becoming more and more
popular every week, and 1t is expected that
tomorrow will be one Of the biggest days

Indian Head. thus giving a delightful sail
to those who wish to avail themselves Of
this opportunity.
Those who wish to have good time
should go with the Jolly Fat Men to River
View on Monday next. There will be the
usual match games and sports, in which
5000 will be given in prizes. The base ball
game between the members of the Jolly
Fat Men of this city and those Of Balti-

they are about evenly matched in weight.

AS and 6:45 pm.

From the New York Times.

the art of bulrs-eye hitting at the shooting
festival at Glendale Park, L. L. last week
But art in aim and dilletantism in the

truer shots at black disk than did the
backwoodsmen when rifles weighed from
twenty to thirty pounds, and only "a shot
behind the shoulder" was considered
sportsmanlike.

1t is only a question Of aim and barrel
after all. These principles will obtain q

The North Atlantic Maneuver..

The general plan Of the proposed maneu-
vers Of the North Atlantic squadron, Ad-
miral Bunee commanding. this fall is based
upon theoretical defense of that portion
of the coast lying between Cape Cod and
the capes Of the Chesapeake. The fleetest
vessels will be sent out to sea as scouts,
and they will return to the rendezvous to
report the supposed appearance of a hos
tile fleet off certain points on the coast
within these limits, when attempts will be
made to Tepulse the TIN eatened attack. 1t
Is likely that the greatest demonstrations
will be off the eastern entrance to Long
Island sound, which has long been regard
ed as the most probable pathway to New
York harbor that would be followed by an
enemy, and also at the entrance of Chesa-
peake bay, whence a blow might be direct
ed at the capital of the nation.

COMMENT OF THE PRESS,
Maybc II viii Not Work.


Pittsburg Times: "The Democratic
Philadelphia Times. which. in its deep love
for the Republican party, Is Senator
Quay's chief organ in Pennsylvania, sup
plements its two former Washington dis
patches picturing in glowing terms the Of
fices which Senator Quay will have to dis
tribute under the next Republican admin
istration, by q third, in which 1t Is told
that In the next senate he will be chair
man Of the committee on public buildings.
The power Of the chairman over bills for
the erection Of public buildings Is dwelt
upon at length. 1t would seem that the
merits Of such measures have nothing at
all to do with their passage, nor has the
committee itself much, II anything. to do
with reporting them to the senate. Tho
public is gravely informed that the chair
man. who is to be Senator Quay, has great
autocratic power.' This is followed by
the equally significant statement that
Senator Quay will not lie awake O.
nights next winter to help cities that are
against him, while he will lose no time
in helping those cities which help him.
This Is an eminently Just statement Of
Senator Quay's case. No considerations
of right and Justice and fair play enter
into 1t. 1t Is simply O commercial matter
Me and my friends covers the whole
subject. The Republican party. as a
whole. does not enter into It. Personal
allegiance sums up the entire business.
Blind, unreasoning subserviency Is the
test which makes friend. Independence
marks q man as an enemy. But there
have been instances in history where this
sort of thing did not work. Senator
Quay Is not the only parsonage who has
taken men to the pinnacle of the temple
and promised dominions where he did not
own foot Of land"

Governor Hastings Attitude.

The Honesdale Independent prints an
interview with Chairman w w. Wood.
Of the Wayne county Republican COM
mittee, wirich clearly illustrates that
Governor Hastings present battle Is
not for the punishment Of any man
or eet Of men, but instead for fair play.
Mr.. Wood recently had long CONVEX
eation with the governor, and in the
Independent he repeats the tenor of 1t
for the guidance Of his fellow Republ-
cans. "The governor" says the Inde-
pendent, desired Chairman Wood to
say that his reasons for entering into
the avenue of active politics was be-
cause he believed that 1t was conducive
20 the interests of the Republican party
that an legislation should be in accord
ance with the spirit of the constitution
and IN the interests Of the entire peo-
ple of the state rather than to juggle
matters in the interest of any party or
any Individual. The governor was loud
In his praises Of Mr.. Quay and his val
liable service TO the Republican party
and was glad Of the fact that the Re-
publicans had shown their appreciation
Of the same by placing him in the high
est position within the gift of the people
Of Pennsylvania-that Of United States
senator.

An Impressive Contrast.

In the bright columns of our esteemed
Cleveland contemporary, Robert p.
Porter's World, in the course of letter
from Philadelphia descriptive of the
recent and rapid growth Of the trolley
party fad. We read with surprise that
mechanical ingenuity In that tradition
ally slow city has risen to the unexpect-
/ed heights Of trolley car buffet.
The company which enjoys the dis
tinction Of improving the buffet Is
known by the distinctive title OF the
HestonvileL Mantua and Fairmount
Passenger Railway company. Recent
ly, according to our contemporary, 1t
built several cars with folding seats
and an aisle running up the center
The cars are known as the aisle palace
cars. They are enclosed all around the
sides with bronze grill frames and have
cushion rattan seats, with comfortable
somest trolley cars running in the
United States, and there has been q
pressing demand for them for summer
night excursions. There Is space enough
between the aisles at the four corners of
the cars for tables, and tables of the
detachable pattern, such as are used
on Pullman buffet cars, were put there.
The tables are used to serve the re-
freshments. ''and," graphically adds
the World correspondent. "the spec
tacle of an electric car flying through
the night like Tam O'Shanter from the
witches, and carrying its own light
ming with it, is something that the
world has awaited an illustration of
in the quiet and subdued habitation,
of the descendants OF William Penn"
We are moved to allude to this pleas
ant subject at this time by the recollec-
ton of a contrast which 1t calls to
mind-the contract between these beau
tiful Philadelphia palace trolley cars
and the CHASTITY conveyances operated
by the Scranton Traction company on
the Nav Aug line.

The Issue illustrated.

II the Republicans Of the First legis-
lative district had employed a man by
popular vote to do a certain thing, and
after he had undertaken to do that
thing another man. without warrant
from the people. should step in and
say: Hands Off! I own you, and you
must do as bid you." 1t would be an
exact parallel Of the attitude assumed
by Senator Quay toward Governor
Hastings when the latter. obedient to
his oath OF Office. tried to secure re-
apportionment Of the commonwealth.
Under that proposed reappor:!onment
Lackawanna county would have gained
a member Of the state house of repre-
senta'ttves; but Senator Quay inter-
vened, and by a coalition with the
Democrats, defeated 1t.
The question now presented before
the voters of the First district is whetil-
er they sanction any such conduct as
this. Let us admit that many of them
admire Senator Quay for his great
ability; Is 1t right to indorse In his case
an affront to the people which. If COM
mttted by any other Republican leader.
would have incurred immediate and
overwhelming censure? Is there any
possible reason which would justify
the Republican voters of this district
in slapping Judge Wizards candidates
for state delegates in the face in order
to confirm Senator Quay in clearly
mistaken and indefensible course Of
CONF? A man may he able and yet

Where Are Those Tenders?

Several weeks have elapsed since
public notice was given by the Scran-
ton Traction company that 1t had or
dered safety tenders for its trolley cars.
In the natural order of things is 1t not
about time that those tenders began to
be visible to the naked eye?
We can assure the amiable gentle
men who manage our delightful street
railway system that the public has by
no means lost interest in the fender
problem; and that 1t would be a good
stroke Of policy were the Traction Off
cials to frankly toe the mark in this
matter. without further bubbles or
evasion.
Suppose the public's patience should
give out?
