Why Not?

The reports of a possible reconcilia-
tlon between Governor Hastings and
Senator Quay may or may not be ac-
curate. We do not know. But there is
no real reason why such reconcilla-
tion should not occur; and there are
many reasons why, n It could be
brought about without the sacrifice Of
principle and independence. 1t would be
q good thing.

We don't think that the subordina-
ton of campaign transforming to the
calmer processes of reading and think
ing, as contemplated by Senator Quay
in the state contest this fall. will cause
general grief. The circulated newspa-
per is worth a regiment of mouthing
"stumpers.''

Philadelphia inquirer: "The Cubans M
making a gallant struggle for freedom.
Their government by Spain Is that of bar
bar'c oppression, not Of the enlightened
teachings of the century IN which we live.
The Cubans have a right to demand at
least justice. Congress should recognize
their splendid efforts. Let the influence Of
the greatest republic that the world has
ever known be given to the side of l.b-

Superintendent Phillips Resignation

The resignation Of Superintendent
Phillips from n position to which for
eight years he has so devotedly and eff
ficiently dedicated his best energies
would be the cause of profound regret
to every friend of Scranton's public
schools. Although threatened by rea-
son of Ill health acquired through in
cessant labor in the upbulding of our
schools such result should not be per-
mitted without first exhausting all rea-
sonable means to induce Professor Phil.
lips to reconsider his unwelcome deter
mination.
1t would be fair on the part of the
board Of control to grant Mr.. Phillips
an extended leave OF absence, for the
purpose Of seeking, by travel or other
means, renewal of health: and the
impairment of that health having come
from overwork in the city's behalf, 1t
would be fair for the city to pay Mr..
Phillips his salary while absent on such
vacation. This is what any consider
ate private employer would do; and
there is no reason why the city OF
Scranton should not be equally generous
in recognition of an obvious obligation.
But the resignation should under no
circumstances be accepted. The public
schools Of this city cannot afford to part
with their present superintendent.

son will be the more readily favored.
At this time Reed Is unQuestionably
the favorite Of the great political lead
ers like Quay and Platt, and this is an
| advantage that will not be underesti-
mated. They are men Of resources. and
their power and influence will extend
beyond the delegations from their own

into the southern and western states
cannot yet be known. Upon their sue
cess in making combinations in those dl-
rections will depend the fate of Reed or
any other candidate they may decide to
support.
Although Senator Cushman X. Davis,
of Minnesota, has not figured conspicu-
ously as candidate for president, in
the opinion of many he is among the
possibilities. In the estimation of the
people of the west he occupies a posi-
tion somewhat similar to that of Sena-
tor Allison. There is a strong affec-
tion for him in his own section, and he
would be stronger than Robert Lincoln
in the country at large. In our own
state, owing to the high protective tar
III sentiment, Governor Mckinley has
very large following. but Reed also is
quite popular here. The platform on
which the presidential battle will be
fought next year will be the same no
matter who may be the candidate. The
Republican party has not changed. and
will not change, its attitude on the tar
III question. A tariff that will afford
both protection and revenue is what the
Republican party stands for. The
present Democratic tariff produces only

Last Friday one Parker Sewell came
over from Georgia to arrest R E. Shackel-
ford for disposing of property under lien.
He had obtained requisition from the
Governor of Georgia, which had been sent
to the Governor OF South Carolina to be
by him honored and countersigned. but It
had not vet been returned to Sewell.
Mr. J. 8. Fowler had had warrant issued
for Shackelford also, for disposiDg Of
property under lien here. and Sheriff
Gaines arrested Shaokelford after Sewell
arrived in Anderson to arrest him on bis
charge. On Saturday Shackelford had
Sewell arrested under warrant from Trial
Justice in Oconee County, charging sewell
with kidnapping shackelford last winter,
sometime. Sewell had q warrant for Shack
elford then from Georgia. and arrested
him on the bridge over the Tuealoo River.
This case was continued, and Sewell went
back to Georgia. Last Monday morning

the requisition of the Governor of Georgia,
duly honored and recognized by Gov.

Editors InteIhgencer In your issue of
November 9th there appeared a COM
munication under the caption "Cedar
Grove Items," 10 one paragraph Of which
slur Is cast upon the Cedar Grove
Church. The correspondent stated that
The Church was in tangle and that 1t
would take fifty deacons 10 straighten
the congregation. Now, If his idea is
that the congregation is to be straighteu-
ed by deacons, no wonder he raised it to
fifty. I was at q loss to know who wrote
the article, and upon inquiry at your
Office, to my utter astonishment, a manu-
script was produced with my name as the
author. 1 positively deny writing the
article, or having given, directly or indi-
rectly, any person the authority to sign
my name to the communication and
knew nothing of it until it appeared in
the paper. At the usual time an election
for pastor ofthe Church was held for the
ensuing year, and there was q change,
Rev. W. B. Hawkins being elected by q
majority vote. Immediately after the
election some seven or eight members
called for letters of dismission, and, 80
far as I know, not one of them has ever
uttered word against Bro. Hawkins
The Church is still here and to stay with
out tangle. 7 think the correspondent
has undertaken the art Of mind-reading
and became tangled himself. He should
have the manhood to sign his own name
to his communications and stop forging
mine. Very respectfully,
A. L. COPELAND.
[NoTE-Whep our attention was called
to the article we brought out the manu-
script and after looking at 1t carefully we
saw that it was not in the handwriting of
Mr.. Copeland. who has frequently con-
tributed to our columns, and in justice to
Mr., Copeland we think 1t our duty to
make this statement. We have no idea
who was the author Of the article, and
both Mr.. Copeland and the INTELLIaEN-
GER have been imposed upon.]
