WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
Tribune Bureau,
No. 5l5 Fourteenth street, N. W..

Washington, Dec. 30.
The scramble for delegates-at-large to
the Republican national convention from
Pennsylvania Is becoming absolutely an
noying to Senator Quay to whom all the
candidates apply for support. Seldom a
section of the state do not call upon him
and urge the selection of their respective
candidates. AS there are only eight dele
gates-at-large to be chosen and there
are at least twenty-eight candidates, one
from each congressional district and in
some of them more than one candidate, the
question Is becoming a most serious one
to Senator Quay. He has friends through
out the entire state who want preference
shown them, OF course, every last one
of them processes to have done the sena-
ator yeoman service in his recent chair
manship fight and they. therefore, de-
mand recognition.
The latest delegation to present the
claims Of a candidate was from Luzerne
county. Several well-known Republican
politicians of that district were here on
Saturday last to see Quay in the interest
OF Hon. Charles A. Miner. Congressman
Leisenrlng, who Is slated for one of the
district delegateships. piloted the visiting
delegation to Senator Quay's committee
room, where they talked the matter over.
or course, Senator Quay is too shrewd a
politician to have given positive pledge;
but It can be said that he SO expressed
himself to his visitors that they went
away satisfied. There seems to be much
probability that Mr.. Miner will be chosen
one Of the delegates-at-large.
Congressman Joe Scranton, having been
turned down for district delegate, Is q
candidate for egate-at-large, and Il

From the best authority it is said that
the secretary of the treasury will issue
bonds to the amount OF $780, coo, 600 and pos
sibiy 500 Oc0.000 early this week. 1t will
not be popular loan, but will be nego-

commercial and financial, between the
United States and Great Britain are too
close to be endangered by reckless act
or speech, and the responsibility incurred
by the statesman, the diplomatist. the edi-
tor or the preacher of the Gospel who thus
endangers them Is a responsibility terrible
in Its possibilities. International crises

The Short of 1t.

Chicago Times-Herald: when Uncle
Sam got up out of the Atlantic Ocean
and set foot on dry land he was told that
according to international law, all he was
entitled to was to be hanged. From that
time on Uncle Sam was obliged to make
international law to suit his own case.
Self-preservation is the first law of nature
The law of nature is older, higher. deeper
and longer than International law. From
this time forth, so far as the American
continent is concerned. Uncle Sam pur-
poses to make, not to take, international
law. This is the law of nature for this
nation. This is the short of it,

With Reference to Telephone Rates.

sNShSsSuSS ~ hSsSRIOuC NotCS.
A brooding silence seems to have pre-
cipitated itself upon the great scheme,
which was vociferously exploited some
months ago, to supply the cities of this
country with telephone service at from
$50 To $25. per year per phone. It will be
remembered that this scheme took
local root in the shape of an ordinance
authorizing an imaginary local COM
pany to erect poles and string wires in
Scranton; but when the amendment was
insisted upon that the franchise should
become void in the event of the COM
pany's failure to have its system in prac.
months, the whole matter suddenly and
mysteriously collapsed. leaving the pres
ent telephone company, with it's high
rates, in unchallenged possession Of the
field.
The failure of this local attempt
to speculate at the public's expense
may not have been the means of deter
ring honestcapital from making q gen.
uine effort to establish wholesome COM
petition in Scranton's telephone trade;
and again 1t may have. This point is
not clear. But one fact is certain, and
that is that the present telephone rates
will eventually have to come down. The
city Of Norwalk, O., has recently had an
instructive experience along this line.
A few years ago the Bell company had
in that city about seventy-fiv subscrib-
ers at $40 year. Then new company
known as the Harrison company was
organized to compete with it. The Har-
rison company cut to $40 and afterward
to $1S, its present price. 1t has today
300 subscribers at $1S, while the Bell
company has 400 at SIS and both COM
panies are making money in a town
Of fewer than 10000 Inhabitants.
The Cleveland World has figured It
out that If tne telephone company in
that city would adopt the Norwalk rate
Of SIS instead of charging from $72 to
$10e . year. II could increase the number
of its subscribers from s.Oob to 5000.
This would leave the total income in
eis1sr eass practically sh6 same. and

Association Of Manufacturers which

that it may be of commanding benefit

the reduction in rates with it's quin-
, tup!ed number OF subscribers would not
add more than 80 per cent to the oper-
a;ing expenses The World contends
| that even on this basis the Cleveland
telephone company would earn hand
some dividends on its bona fide capi-
talization; and that 1t could earn more
than per cent, If the price per phone
were made uniformly as low as SO a
year.
These figures may be misleading. The
high priced companies will no doubt say
so. at any rate, yet they are also sus-
gestive. In nearly all lines of business
great reductions in prices have been
made within the past ten or fifteen
years. The telephone business Is the
one conspicuous exception. Its prices

The Philadelphia Press treasures GER
tain excitable Republican brethren who
lately took the mistaken notion into
their heads that the Republican lead
ers in this state were contemplating a
revival of the unit rule at the St. Louis
convention. The Press explains that
no national delegate can be forced to
vote against his own wish; and that
the only unit rule to be expected will
be the voluntary acquiescence of the
whole Pennsylvania delegation in the
proper enterprise of honoring worthy
Pennsylvania candidate, like Governor
Hastings. The Press, to be sure, did
not mention any one name, but 1t Is
naturally taken for granted that If any
Pennsylvania shall receive the vote
Of his state for president 1t will be the
intrepid and popular governor. He
ought to be balloted for by the Penn
sylvania delegation as long as there re-
mained a particle of hope that he might
be the choice of the convention.

The American correspondent of the
London Times, Mr.. Smalley, has now
lost both his patriotism. which seems
never to have been very embarrassing,
and his temper over the Venezuelan
affair, and his latest comments are al
most ludicrous in their staccato notes
of dsmay, Indignation and alarm. The
president, in almost so many words, he
calls liar for writing that message;
congress Is q pack of knaves and fools
for indorsing 1t; and the American
people, with few Mugwump excep-
tions, are not much better, according
to Mr.. Smalley. This typical old Tory
was for time amusing; but of late it
must be confessed that he has become
good deal of bore. There is probably
no use in trying to persuade him to let
up on a tired public; but if American
journals would refuse to print his stuff
while he is in his present anguish Of
mind, it would no doubt prove well
come relief to their readers, and give
him a needed hint as to the wisdom of
cooling off.

As to Fourth. Class Postoffices.

Representative Wheeler has intro
duced q desirable bill to readjust the
pay of fourth-cIas5 postmaster3 1t
provides that one who opens and closes
one mail each week shall receive so
each quarter: $3.50 for two mails. and
so on. increasing quarterly 81. so for each
additional mail opened and closed until
the limit Of $3.50 each quarter is reached.
Under the present system the pay of
these necessarily faithful employees is
often ridiculously inadequate. Some
fourth-class offices yield to their mas
ters only $3.50 and S. a piece during an
entire year; and it rarely happens that
the revenue Is sufficient to afford a just
compensation for the care and punctu-
ality required of the Offices occupant.
Whlnsie u considered what an obliga-
tion'th6 small community owes to the
competent master of it's mails, and
what a service he performs as the
nearest official representative of the
federal government, the usual paltri-
ness Of his pay is often humiliating.
The limit of fairness and efficiency
has well-nigh been reached in urban
postal arrangements; but it still re-
mains for the government to develop
and more thoroughly systematic and
facilitate ths-rural mail service. The
first step in this direction would seem to
be to offer adequate compensation to
the subordinate who must do this work.
