JOHN al: 4-I7.
INTRODUCTION.

Without agreeing with all the allegor-
cal interpretations of the fathers, cannot
but see much depth and richness of mean
ing in this narrative of Christ's appearing
to the seven disciples by the lakeside.
The Lord appears to his disciples busted
about their occupation for their daily
bread; speaks and acts in manner won
derfully similar to his words and actions
on former memorable occasion, when we
know that by their toiling long and taking
nothing but at his word enclosing a multi
tude of fishes, was set forth what should
befall them as fishers of men. Can we
miss that application at this far more i'm
portant epoch of their apostolic mission?
Besides, he graciously provides for their
present wants, and invites them to be his
guests why but to show them that in their
work hereafter they should never want but
he would provide? And as connected
with the parable (Matt. I3:47 fD, has the
net enclosing a great multitude and yet
not broken, no meaning? Has sthe TAX
ing of bread and giving to them, and the
fish likewise" no meaning which SO closely
binds together the miraculous feeding, and
the institution of the Lords Supper with
their future meetings in his name and
round his table3 Any one who recognizes
the teaching character of the acts of the
Lord, can hardly cast all such applications
from him; and those who do not, have yet
the first rudiments of the Gospel to learn.

In Justice to Senator Porter.

Senator Porter, of Philadelphia, who
has been subjected to a vast deal of
ignorant abuse for his alleged 'deser-
ton" of Senator Quay, has at last re-
piled to his critics. Among other things
he says:
If there Is anything in this world that
am not. 1t is an migrate. I have always
stood by my friends, recognizing the fact
that man in politics must do that. I
have been personally acquainted with Sem
ator Quay since 1868. and challenge him
to point to one single favor ne ever did
me, or any one man he ever had appointed
to office for me or at my solicitation
while, on the other hand. / have voted for
his candidates and helped him in any
way within my power for many years. 7

Quay this many months before the nom-
nation, and told Penrose. / also told
Quay 1t would be a mistake to nominate
Penrose. and also told the Junior senator
that he had no right to dictate. or AT.

delphia. l have always been for home
rule In Philadelphia. As said before,

him he will tell you the same thing, as he
knows he has yet his first favor to do .or
me. / merely want to explain my posi-
tion and prove that II there was any in
gratitude at all it was on Quay's side and
not mine
This statement has many times been
corroborated by Senator Penrose him
self Mr.. Penrose never charged Sena-
tor Porter with treachery. They are
open enemies. but the one has no rea-
son to complain of the others lack of
frankness Senator Porter was all
right SO long as he happened to be
travelling in Senator Quay's direction.
When he branched off, he became all
wrong. The Quay people do not have
much time for persons they cannot
own.

The English Stump.

The British elections turn out to be
good deal more one-sided than any
body wanted. Joseph Chamberlain s
plan, II now transpires, was to defeat
khe Liberals by such a narrow margin
that the Conservatives would have to
depend upon his handful of Liberal
Unionists for their majortties. In this
way Joseph expected to bag his pick Of
the choicest cabinet seats. This pro-
gramme likewise had Lord Salisbury's $
cordial approval. for while 1t would
have given undue prominence to the
Chamberlain following, 1t would at the
same time have kept the Conservatives
keyed up to wholesome tension sell
dom present when party majorities are
large.
But neither scheme carried. The peo-
ple gave the Tories almost as big and
consequently a. unwieldy a plurality,
proportionatsly, a. ta1eir prototypes the
American Democrats, had in the Fifty
fourth congress; and the cunning Mr..
Chamberlain fnds himself. alack. at the

Significant Action.

The county committee of Wyoming Is
controlled by Quay influences. which
sufficiently explains the remarkable and
revolutionary action taken by that body
on Saturday last. The delegate to the
state convention was elected several
months ago, before Senator Quay had
inaugurated his war on the Hastings
administration, and subsequently every
means at their command was employed
by the Quay adherents to induce the
These efforts having failed to influence
Delegate Northrop. the county COM
mittee was called together and resolu-
tions adopted instructing the delegate
to support Judge Rice for Superior court
judge, Hastings for chairman Of the
convention, and Quay for chairman Of
the state committee. The committee
threatens to call another county con-
vention and elect a new delegate IL Mr..
Northrop refuses to be governed by the
action of the committee.
This was done by direct orders Of
Senator Quay. 1t will be observed that
the committee Disseminated against
Judge Willard, of Lackawanna, clearly
indicating, what has all along been be-
leved and alleged, that Senator Quay
is inimical to Judge Willard. Inasmuch
as six candidates for Superior court
judges are to be nominated, the Wyo-
ming committee could have endorsed
both Willard and Rice, or, in fact, all
six Of the present Republican judges
The anti-Quay delegates elected in
Lackawanna county will undoubtedly
support Judge Rice as we'll as Judge
willard, and so will the Luzerne dele
gates, but the Quay adherents in Wyo-
ming county, if they had the power,
would discriminate against Judge Will
lard in the state convention. The Lu-
zerne Republicans will not be Influenced
by this latest move of Senator Quay.
LuZerne and Lackawanna must pull to-
gether in this fight and make common
cause for Judges Willard and Rice.
Quay would defeat both, IL necessary
to attain his own ends. He Is fighting
for Quay and for nobody else. The
Lackawanna Republicans have demon
strated that they understand the stu
alton correctly.

Always n Credit TO Scranton.

From the American.
The Scranton Tribune says: "During the
four years of The Tribune's existence II
has been the aim of its founders and con-
ductors to give to the people of northeast
ern Pennsylvania u good clean, whole
some newspaper, having convictions and
the courage to express them. but call
ing no honest opponent ugly names and
bleeding no candidates for office as the
price of It's support. They are satisfied
with the experiments outcome, and are
determined to push steadily ahead. Now
is the time to subscribe" We can fairly
and fully indorse every word in that edi-
torial paragraph. The Tribune is u clean,
wholesome newspaper, always manly and
outspoken In its utterances on behalf of
the right, and always credit to Scranton.

Speaking in behalf OF the Canadian
Unionists Professor Goodwin Smith re-
quests American friends Of political
coalescence not to compllcate the ques-
ton Of Canada's future by abuse of
England. SO far as we can discern,
however. comparatively few Americans
just now are taking much interest in
Canada. one way or another, much less
getting excited because of England's
suzerainty.

enforcement of any other law on the

COMMENT OF THE PRESS,
Delegates Arc What Count,

Philadelphia Press: ION Saturday morn,
ing the Press printed table Of delegates
to the coming state convention elected
since Senator Quay declared open war on
the present Republican organization. 1t
showed that ten delegates had been elect
ed In behalf of Hastings and Gilkeson
while Quay and Cameron had secured
none. Six more delegates were elected on
Saturday and are TO be added to the
count. which now stands as follows:
For Hastings and Gilkeson. on..............1 16
For Quay and Cameron. 0
This embraces all the delegates elected
since Mr.. Quay declared war by announc-
ing himself as q candidate for chairman
OF the state committee. Such delegates as
the junior senator can count upon werc
elected before any purpose on his part to
humiliate the state administration for Its
attitude on the apportiOnment issue had
become publicly known. There may he
counties that Mr.. Quay can carry, but
they have not SO far been reached. The
sixteen delegates above indicated come
from the following named counties: Clear
field. 3; Lackawanna, 9; Sullivan, 1; Gen.
ter. 2, and Northampton, 4. Delegates are
certain to count more when the ballot is
taken In the convention than all the bluff-
ing our Democratic-Quay contemporaries
can get Off between now and Doomsday."
They should End the Fight.
N0rristown Herald: Senator Quay and
his reckless and INSCRIPTIONS supporters
have It In their power to put an end to
this unseemly contest, which has gone too
far already. II they have any regard for
the interests Of the Republican party they
can very readily promote them. All that
Is necessary is that they shall cease their
assaults upon the Hastings adminlstra-
ton and the party organization. As good
Republicans. which they claim to be. no
other course Ii open to them. This IL es-
pecially to be commended to them, since
there is not the slightest hope Of success
for Senator Quay In this unfortunate con-
test. He has already been defeated, his
followers have been In the minority In ev-
cry county that has chosen delegates to
the state convention since his candidacy
was announced. Under such circum-
stances. his duty as loyal Republican Is
plain. He should withdraw from O can
vass which can only work injury to tho
party. He should retire from a contest
that ought never to have been COM
