Editor Of The Tribune.
Dear Sir:-The sad announcement of
the death Of my friend w. George Powell
has just come to me. ] knew him SO well.
loved him so much, and appreciated his
talents so thoroughly that the news of his
departure casts a deep shadow over my
own life and write to send brief tribute
to his memory from over the sea-
Our friendship dates ten years back
when l was in charge Of the Edwardsville
public schools. After his graduation from
the Pottsville high school, he began his
successful career as teacher under my
supervision and our relations ever since
have been most cordial Since my re-
moval to California seven years ago, our
intercourse has been kept up by correspon-
dence; and when l was in Scranton two
years ago we met by appointment and re-
vlved the memories of the three years so
pleasantly passed together.
Mr.. Powelrs mind was remarkably well
stored, as evinced in all his writings and
his compass of invention and luxuriance
of poetic fancy much more than usual.
He was at his best In poetry; his verses
are replete with classical illusions and
always fashioned after the best models.
possess eight or ten sonnets from his pen
and without an exception they are shrewd.
caustic, and careful, and represent mani
fest energy of expression and condensed
Of Burns" "Lopgfellow in Italy," and
"Shelly's Prometheus Unbound" probably
best indicate the classical correctness and
the closeness of his style; and IN all Of
them one notes delicate touches and pleas
ing descriptions. In 1.-THE Welsh Harp
and 1.-THE Dream" he marshals his didac-
tic measures with the ease and precision of
a trained poet. They are full of lyrical mel
ody and natural tenderness and seem to
have been dictated by real pulses of feel
Ing. ] recall also an "Ode TO Venus,
printed In one of the Scranton papers
which had view of fine feeling unsur-
passed by a. writer of his years. His voice
was sweet one, full of promise for the
future. And now II Is stilled! SO soon!
The sorrow which Is yours, l share with
you and because he was my friend I send
you this little note touching upon ssme OF
his literary contributions which rank with
our better literature. Very truly.

The Result in York.

Quay bluff, brag and bluster made a
good deal of noise in York county, but
when the final roundup was taken, it
was conclusively demonstrated that
Governor Hastings and his administra-
tion had the delegates.
The Quay forces We're routed more
than to l. The highest Quay candi-
date received only GO votes in the
county convention, while the highest
administration candidate was success
full by vote Of 139, making the ratio
of supremacy nearly 2 1,-3 to /. Reso-
lutions were passed instrucring the
county's four delegates for Hastings
and Gilkeson.
Inside of ten days 1t will be appar-
ent to the most obtuse that notwith-
standing the loudness of their brag-
ging and the furious energy of their
claims, the Quay forces are in a minor
ity and will sue for peace. The man
who permits these expert buffers to
scare him should study and profit by
the returns from York.

ance with his supporters. He realized
that ais friends had made every ad-
vanca and offered to make every cons
cession that could be expected of them,
and tnat every overture for harmony
and peace made by Mr.. Connell. Colonel
Ripple Governor Watres and his other
supporters, had been insolently re-
jected by the local representatives Of
Senator Quay.
Messrs. Penman. Brooks. Dale, Finn
and the rest Of Quay's chosen chief
tains invited and forced the battle in
Lackawanna county. They were
pufYed up with the idea of Smashing
the administration faction" and, re-
jecting every proffer of compromise
and peace. took up the sword. They
have perished by the weapon of their
own choosing. Our purpose and desire
Is that the Republicans of Lackawanna
county shall correctly understand the
situation and know the true history of
this contest. They should no longer be
misled by the false representations Of
the Republican and Truth. There has
been no deception, no false pretense on
the part Of Judge willard or the Hast
ings people in this county. They have
been consistent throughout. have acted
in good faith from the beginning and
will remain true to their own manhood
and Republicanism to the end.
The seven delegates elected to the
state convention were chosen as the
friends Of Judge Willard. II their cleo
ton had not been antagonized with
such factional recklessness by the
Quay extremists these delegates would
have gone to Harrisburg free to act
with reference to the state committee
craftsmanship as they might deem best
for Judge Willard. The Quay faction
would not accept honorable terms,
courted fierce battle instead. and now
that they are vanquished they whine
like lot of whipped school boys. The
Quay leaders know that the above
statements are absolutely true in every
particular. Mr.. Quay knows that hon.
orable and even liberal terms were Of
who acted with him, and were rejected.
Let the responsibility rest where 1t
properly and justly belongs. 1t does
not rest on the shoulders Of the sup
porters of Judge Willard and the Hast
ings administration.

Reading Times: 1.-THE Scranton Tribune
hits very prominent nail squarely on the
head when II says that a good many
people In the United States would like TO
know just what Minister Bayard. our rep
resentative to Great Britain meant when
he at a recent banquet in London declared
that the American people need a strong
man to govern them 1t Is possible To
place upon that remark construction far
from complimentary to the American
people. Minister Bayard supplemented
the above remark with the observation
that President Cleveland is the kind OF
strong man required. 1t would be highly
interesting to know wherein Mr.. Cleveland
has shown his strength in governing the
people, He has not even protected the
flag of the nation against insult"

Must the Horse Become Extinct?

That the great popularity of the BIZ
cycle. coming coincidently with the
widespread application Of electricity to
utilitarian uses, would suggest a COM
bination of the two in the form OF
"horSeless carriage" was natural
enough; and now that inventive skill
in a dozen places is wrestling with the
problem. substantial achievements may
soon he expected. Many obstacles en-
tirely apart from the problem Of pro-
pulsion have, however, first TO be over
come before the horseless carriage will
come into general vogue.
In the first place the country roads
will need to be improved. In few direc-
tions apart from the new boulevard
could a horseless carriage be satisfac-
.orily propelled in the vicinity of Scran-
ton. Then, again. the vehicle must be
OF reasonable cost. AS the case now
stands, a good horseless carriage capa-
BILE of seating four people and running
up hill and down at good gait, would
cost from $1,000 to $780, Our New
York namesake learns, indeed, THAI
new company has been organized in a
western city for the manufacture Of
horseless carriage OF much lighter and
simpler build. 1t will, however, seat
only two. instead of four people. It is
riage at as low price as $3.50. This
carriage weighs 600 pounds, complete,
the motor for 1t Weighing 120 pounds.
The wheels are fitted with solid rubber
tires and have ball bearings. A speed
of from three to siU,een miles an hour
is attributed to 1t. The normal speed is
said to be ten miles an hour, but the
simple pressing of button quickens
the action of the motor. The motor is
of the gasoline explosion type and the
tank containing the liquid will hold
enough for "trip of 100 miles. One pc
culDar excellence claimed Is that when
going AT twelve miles an hour this We
h.cle can he stopped withln -four feet.
But this is largely anticipatory. In
order to compete successfully, so far as
the multitude of riders is concerned,
with the old-fashioned horsepower car
riage, the new vehicle would have to
cost but liu:le more than the present
type of carriages, and render equally
acceptable service. When country
roads become good In all parts of the
nation. and electric carriages can be
made at a cost Of from 500 to $500
capable Of traversing three, four and
even five per cent. grades at good rate
Of speed and running from ten to twen-
ty miles an hour on the level, ithe horse,
except as a luxury or curiosity, will un-
doubtedly have to go. But not before.

What Quay's Success Would rlean.

The few Quay organs which yet keep
up the useless -pretense that Quays
succession Aug. % would not imperil the
chances for denomination of the COVER
nor's Superior court appointees wisely
do not figure out how Quay could be
achieving that courts reconstruction.
Under the present rules, as we have
heretofore pointed out, the successor Of
Chairman Gilkeson must be chosen by
the seven nominated candidates. to-
gether with the permanent chairman Of
the convention. These rules cannot be
changed by less than two-thirds vote
Let 1t be conceded that Senator Quay
is sure of the support Of Judge Wick
ham and Candidate for State Treas
urer Haywood for state chairman; to
win, he will need three more votes.
Where will he get them? Would Will
lard. Rice, Orlady, Beaver or Reeder go
back on the governor to the extent Of
making a private deal with Quay?
Would either Of these men. much less
three of them, In the event of his nomi-
nation by the state convention. consent
to the humiliation of the official by
whom he was appointed or in any way
sanction the candidacy of his chief
enemy and avowed opponent? What
would be thought Of a Judge; what
would be thought. in fact, Of any man
who, after becoming part Of the pres
ent administration In Pennsylvania
should, when that administration was
unjustifably attacked. sell out for a
mess Of pottage to the commander-in-
chief Of the assailant forces?
A deal with Quay, by any OF these
men, would be just that, and nothing
but that. 1t would be an exhibition Of
the most odlous kind of rogue's poll
tics In the second highest judicial posi-
ton in the commonwealth; and we
must respectfully decline to believe any
member Of the present Superior court
capable of It. No. the one hope of the
Quay forces is to unseat the Hastings
appointees, at least enough Of them to
render possible the courts reconstruc-
tion into facile auxiliary Of Senator
Quay's audacious warfare upon the
Hastings administration. Talk to the
contrary 10 not only false; II IL also
futile. and organs that give prominence
to It simply waste space.
Judge Wizards interests would be
sacrificed at Harrisburg were his
home delegates to betray Hastings by
Hopping to Quay.

Congratulations to the Truth.

With considerable pleasure We OBJ
serve that the Scranton Truth has at
last ceased to profess friendliness for
Judge willard while covertly trying to
stab him In the back. 1t has finally
desisted from Its Judas attitude, and Is
now boldly hostile. This is in every re-
spect the more manly course. A man
can stand 1t to be fought openly, but
no man knows how to guard against
the sneaking snake In the grass.
We trust that the Scranton Truth
will hereafter have the courage to dis
continue its spurious pretensions Of pO-
litical independence. which no longer
trick the people OF this valley; and that
it will from this time onward be one
thing or another. either fish. flesh or
fowl. 1t is not our business, to be sure;
but we do desplse shams.
The difference between Democratic
and Republican tinanciering is just
this: In Democratic times it's the syn
dicate that makes the margin. while
under Republican rule the people
pocket the profits at bond sales.
