There are some things that cannot be
compromised. One of these things Is
party principle. The idea that the pres
ent political contest In this state. which
has stirred the commonwealth from
center to circumference, setting brother
against brother and friend against
friend, has no basis Of principle justi-
flying such a sweeping disruption Of
past harmony, obtained only while the
real issue was obscured. Now that that
issue is clearly manifest. such an idea
becomes pNposterous.
We have said and we take this occa-
sion to repeat with all the emphasis
at our command that We have no war;
fare to make on Senator Quay when.
ever the latter shall be content to exer-
else the proper functions of party lead
ership; no desire to subject him to un-
deserved censure and above all no wish
to drive him from politics, in which his
genius and skill have won such brilliant
triumphs. There Is absolutely. so far
as this paper Is concerned, no inten-
ton Of bounding Mr.. Quay. for whom.
as man and senator, We have the warm
est esteem; and We are free to say that
should such disposition develop in
any of the politicians who are at this
moment opposing Senator Quay, we
would unhesitatingly condemn 1t, as
being foreign to the present campaign
and contrary to good politics and per-
sonal fairness.
But with all this conceded, It yet
clearly and inevitably remains for the
self-respecting Republicans Of Pennsyl-
vania, rising above personal prefer
ence and prejudices, to ordain that
hereafter an administration duly and
cheerfully installed by them, after one
OF the most glorious political triumphs
on record in this country. shall, within
It's proper scope and sphere, have fair
play. This Is the vital principle under
lying the present virulent contest, and
1t does not admit of evasion or compro.
mise. The moment that Senator Ouav
snail recognize the error of his present
misguided way and throw himself. in q
spirit of contrition, on the mercy Of
the party he has SO ably served. we
stand ready to be among the first to
greet him with the handclasp of COM
piete forgiveness.
But not before. 90,

Ills Request should Ne Denied.

Wilkes Barre Record: ''ln q free gov
ernment ne man ought to have the power
that has been possessed by Senator Quay
In public affairs. No one will deny that
his control Of legislation In this state has
been practically absolute for many years.
Meritorious measures have been killed
and Vicious measures have been enacted
whenever Il pleased the senator. The last
exercise Of his despotic power was wit
messed In the defeat Of the apportionmcnt
bills. Defying the express mandates Of
the constitution and the recommendations
Of the executive, he was abls against
law. Justice and reason, to deny to the
several districts Of the state the Just rep
resentation to which, under the constitu-
tion. they were entitled. He now appeals
to his friends to sustain this unlawful
action, and to confirm and perpstuate his
enormous power. The good Of the party
and the retention Of self-respsct by Re,
publicans demand that his request be
denied. Let Republican,. especially the
young men Of the party. assert their maA.

Is There No Redress?

1t Is becoming a serious question with
thinking men in the Anthracite coal
trade whether there ought not to be
legal means Of preventing debt-ridden
and bankrupt institution like the
Reading railroad from pursuing its
obstinate. obstructive tactics until
many honest but defenseless operators
are brought face to face with business
ruin. The position of the Reading re-
ceivers, who get $4,000 a year apiece
whether the road defaults on its bonds
or not. is literally that Of the tabled dog
in the manager. Having preferred an
absurd demand for tonnage. the receiv-
ers not only refuse to meet the other In
terests half way-interests which
hitherto, by the way, have tried to deal
fairly with the holders Of their securl-
ties and pay q dollar for every dollar Of
their ndebtedness-bu they stand as a
snarling and financially irresponsible
bar to agreement among competitive
companies.
the head when it recently said: 1.-THE
situation is serious matter to Penn
sylvaGia, where the losses from the de-
moralization of the anthracite trade are
beginning to be seriously felt. The
fatal mistake was made when the
Reading rejected the proposal to arbi-
trate made by the Pennsylvania rail-
road. The cooperation of the Pennsyl-
vania company in the anthracite trade
Is worth to the city of Philadelphia,
the state of Pennsylvania, and the
Reading security holders, much more
than anything which could come from
the pitiful l per cent. of the output
which the Reading claims-and which
arbitration might give. 1t Is an old
saying that the man who won't split
the difference on a horse trade is a
rascal. In the present case Reading
must compromise if change is to be
effected; and without some change for
the better, the coal situation may at
any moment result in the stock market
getting bad blow yes, and in the
closing down of dozens Of collieries
owned by reputable men who are clear
ly entitled, as a matter of equity, to be
protected from the injurious effects Of
a narrow-minded policy by the Read
Ing receivers, to whom debt and bank
ruptcy have become so familiar as no
longer to carry terror with them.
1t looks to us as If the courts within
whose Jurisdiction this dangerous and
destructive policy is being perpetuated
owe II to the honest people of the an
thracbte region, who do business on
the basis Of paying their debts and not
as defaulters hidden behind the skirts
Of a friendly court-of-law, to put a
stop, either to the policy itself, or to the
bnequitable receiver.hip which first In
stituted that policy and thus brought
down widespread loss upon persons in

Discipline, Not Overthrow, the Aim.


Our esteemed independent contem-
porary, the Truth, thinks 1t "is some
what difficult to realize that all this ac-
tivity is for the purpose Of dethron-
Ing from power one Of the greatest pol
iticians this country has produced, in
recent years, Matthew Stanley Quay,
who, as chairman Of the national Re-
publican committee. plucked victory
from defeat during General Harrison's
first candidacy for president"
We do not wonder that there Is diff
Guilty in realizing such a thing, be-
cause, as q matter Of fact. that Is not
the purpose. No one, to our knowledge,
desires to "dethrone" Senator Quay.
In the sense Of destroying his power.
All that reputab BILE Republicanism aims
at. In the present battle. Is the restor-
alton Of Senator Quay 70 his proper

The Philadelphia Press, like The

Quay, regardless of the result Of the

To rlrst Dlstrict Repub Iicans.

The Republicans Of the First Lesis-
lative district are noted throughout
this section a. being great admirers of
fair play. This is not fulsome compli-
ment. It u incontestable fact. In the
main. they are men who have made
their own way In life. and therefore ap-
preciate the justice OF giving others a
reasonable chance. In politics they
abhor Misrepresentation. and invite
the utmost frankness and candor. 1t
Il in this spirit that We propose to ask
their attention for p moment while We
place before them the exact issue upon
which they will. next Thursday. pass
Judgment.
Two months ago, We were al! Quay
men In this county: that is, we all ad-
mired the senator and took pleasure in
aiding him. Then came Judge Will
lard's appointment from Governor
Hastings, given absolutely without
conditions. The ink had scarcely dried
on the telegraphic message that herald
ed Mr.. WIZARDS success when a
treachsrous pen that had heretofore
professed friendship. began, in the
Scranton Republican, to stab at the
newly-named Judge. In due time time
this crafty pen, in the hand Of Joseph
A. Scranton. sounded the tocsin for a
factional war, begun in the ostenssble
interest Of Mr.. Quay. who had, in the
meantime. come out in a indefenstble
campaign to humihate the state ad-
ministration. but really planned for Mr..
Scq1ltea,s,eeia Rellitttaca resuscitation,
and for the embarrasament and, as we
believe, for the secret knitting, of Judge
Wizards candidacy. Under these cir
cumstances, there was left to Judge
Wizards friends but one course, and
that was to defend themselves and him.
This they have successfully done in two
Districts in the county, and this they
hope also to do on Thursday in the
2isnt district.

The Draft Horse,

One great advantage to the common
farmer which draft horses have over
the lighter weights is that they need
practically little or no training to fit
them for use. Take the driving horse,
for instance, says the National Stock
man. He must be stylish, han dsome,
not afraid of steam or electric cars, as
well as possessing some speed, in order
to find ready sale in the markets. To
the common farmer who has raised him
it is an additional source of expense to
have him broken properly. He cannot
do this himself. He has neither time
for it, nor has he the necessary skill,
and we all know the price he is 10 re-
ceive for horse is very largely de-
pendent upon the training. While a
farmer may be able to raise really fine
horse, beyond breaking him to harness
in an ordinary fashion he is in total
ignorance of how to proceed. The re-
suit is he sells him to some man who
does understand how to do it, and this
man who buys at very moderate
figure sells again at double or treble the
sum. He has simply got the ability to
get out of the animal all there is in him,
which the farmer could not do.
