SENATOR oUAY,s STRUGGLE.

The most remarkable fight of factions
In this political off-year is that between
Senator Matthew s. Quay andhis supporters
on the onehan land a combina tionof several
of his former lieutenants on the other, in
the State OF Pennsylvania. In most of the
counties delegates to the State convention
have been elected, and while each faction
predicts a good majority for itself, those
who are not personally interested say that
% far it is drawn battle.
The great contest is for tho Craftsmanship
Of the State committee. The combine" is
led by C. S. Magee, of Pittsburg; Gov. Hast
tDgs at Harrisburg, and Dave" Martin,
Of Philadelphia. These three gentlemen
were all firm friends of Quay until recently
They were tutored in the Quay-Cameron
school Of machine politics, and were grad
uated in all the tricks Of the trade. Now
they are trying to better their instructions.
They are turning against the master the
weapons they were taught to use as pupils

LOCAL ART AT ATLANTA,

1t will he very gratifying to the people

ment of The Atlanta Exposition than Wash.
inSton. The number of local artists who
will exhibit is larger than has ever been
known ut any exposition outside of WASH
iugton, and the quality of the work will
present q very high average
Such artists as weyl, Messer, Andre ws,
Brooke, Hinckley, Mcser, Sawyer and
Dunbar cannot fail to impress the millions
who will visit the exposition with the
high merit of their productions upon canvas
and IN plastic art; while the feminine circle
Is couspicuously represented by examples
of the skill OF Miss Perrie, Miss Hanson,
Miss Thompson, Miss Melden aud many
Others. 4 list of the exhibits is given in
the Morning Times of to-day, with much
other interesting matter relating to local
art.
The numerous exhibitors, and the energy
with which they responded to the request
OF the exposition managers for examples
of the work Of artists at the National Cap
ital, is another Illustration of the growth
of the art circle, aud of the development
of art sentiment, art excellence and art

PALMER AND POLICY.

The exceedingly Interesting story told
in The Morning Times of to-day, de-
scribing the open operations OF policy
dens in Alexandria County. has doubtless
been read by Sheriff Palmer In the midst
of that gentleman's siestas In the dreamy,
Oriental atmosphere of the city whose very
name Is suggestive of the Lotos leaf, the
information in regard to the migrate
fulness of Mrs. Groves high pricstess of
policy in one Roach Run resort, and of
the operations Of that other resort with the
creepy name of the Little Red House, sug-
gestive OF. ghastly and murderous dramas,
must come to him like mighty earth
quake shock.
And really 1t 10 very censurable in Mrs.
Groves and the lord high executioner OF
lamb-like investors at the Little Red
House that .hey should place this blot
upon the escutcheon of the reform
sheriff. The mere fact that Mr. Palmer
is a reformer should Sd awe them as to
lead them to close their resurts volun-
tarily. The high standard OF morals set
by Mr.. Palmer should inspire respect even
in policy dealers, who, it is painful tn
say, while speaking personally OF Mrs.
Groves and the ruler of the Little Red
House, are the meanest and most con-
scienceless of robbers. not even except
ing the Shylocks OF chattel mortgage fame.
Fearing that Sheriff Palmer has not
his reform almanac at his elbow, The
Times begs leave to say to the reform
.,sal
The Times has Its f1elc-giass trained to
sweep the southern coast of the Potomac,
and will on Monday be glad to say whether
he has had the desire or the ability to
close both front, side and back doors of all
shady resorts for at least one day OF the
week.

MIR. BowLER,s CRITICS.

There is some excuse for the enthusiasm
with which the sugar producers and their
attorneys sail into Comptroller Bowler, but
what sort of oil is IT that lubricates the men
tai machinery of those persons and newspa-
pers which have no surface Indications of
self-interest. but who out-Herod the Nrods
of planters and attorneys in their abuse of
an independent, upright, immovable fficial,
who thoroughly investigated the sugar
bounty question before he gave decision?
This curious energy Oh the part of these
persons and newspapers has excited the at
tentiou of the public, and aroused far
reaching suspicion and fear that such cham
pionship of the sugar bounty steal, which
crept into the law as one of the extraordi-
nary compromise accessories of the Quay
German tariff bill, and was kindly stamped
with the Presidents Endorsement, is not
entirely philanthropic and gratuitous.
In this connection that ancient epi-
gram might be quoted which adm irably
declares that you can fool all the people
some of the time and part OF the people all
the time. but You can't fool all of the people
all the time

known citizens of Washington is Mr.. L.
Cabell Williamson, president of the Young
Man's Christian Association, having been
closely identified with all the workings
Of that organization for q number of

NEGLIGENCE OF THE CORONER.

There can hardly be any doubt in the
mind OF any humanely disposed citizen that
Coroner Hanmett should have remained at
his official post and thoroughly investigated
the killing of Beach ut the new city post
office building yeste rday instead of taking
his departure for watering place this
morning.
That four men should have been killed
~ say nothing of others manned and Grip
pled-up TO the present time at this one
building clearly argues q Carelessness in
regard To human life and limb that is brutal
and criminal on the part of some one, and
IL should have been the prompt work of
the coroner 10 fix the responsibility where
it belongs.
Coroner's juries are inIpaneIled almost
weekly for the Investigation of fatal acci-
dents, so-called, where there is far less
suggestion of negligence ON the part of any
one connected with the killing than in this
case. The Times, therefore, thinks the
coroner made grave mistake when he COLI
fortabiy decided that the summer resort
was preferable tn the jury room.
As The Times vigorou sly said this morn
ing there should be some way invented to
compel contractors to provide every pos
sjbie safeguard against loss of life ard limb
at buildings i'll process of construction.
While awaiting such compulsory provision
the least that should be done is call con-
tractors to account when niairning ard death
result. from a refusal, on account of mere
stnginess, To provide proper platforms and
seaffoding for the convenience and safety
of employees. In the case at present under
consideration neglect to do this appears
To be inexcusable and highly criminal.

Doubtless the severest punishment that
could be meted out to Mr.. Speare, lately

his own late cook, henceforth to hear no
sound except the dismal and ominous croak
of the Omnipfesent frog.
