OF Course Quay Is Loyal.

The Washington correspondents have

announce with some emphasis that
Senator Quay now that he is back
from Florida, will positively not knife
Mr.. Warwick, the Republican candi-
date for mayor Of Philadelphia" This
information however, Is wholly un-
necessary to those who know Senator
Quay. The idea that he would settle
his private griefs at the expense of his
ranted by any fact in his long career
Gs "a most successful political leader
1t is true that Senator Quay has q
fight on hand; fight which promises,
unless all signs fail, to make things un-
commonly lively for the opposition.
The circumstances of that fight are by
this time pretty generally known ana
therefore do not need repetition. But
in any event it Is family affair."" and
in its settlement it will not be neces-
sary to appeal for Democratic assist
The difficulty in due time will be ad-
jusled wholly within the party lines
and in a manner that will give eminent
satisfaction to the masses of the partys
following.
In the meantime, Charles f. War

LEGISLATIVE TOPICS.

PittSbUrg Commercial-GaZette: There
Will have to be Il severe pruning down
wherever the knife can be applied, or the
credit of the state for good linanciering
and economical government will suffer
There is one thought running through
the legislative mind-that this Is a great
state; that it is practically out of debt
and that its resources are almost limit
less. This Is true, aud very creditable to
the financial management of past years
But that is one of the strongest reasons
why the greatest care should be exercised
in authorizing public expenditures. 1t
will not do to enter upon an era of ex-
trayasant expenditures in times like
these. Owing to depression caused by
gross mismanagement Of national affairs,
the state receipts will be curtailed as indi-
Gated above. and it would be very unwise
to pursue a policy which will tend to in
crease taxation or add to the state debt
There are some Items which cannot be
curtailed, nor is 1t desirable that they
should be- but there are others that can
be more or less reduced, and many appli-
cations for money that should be per-
emptorily denied. The creation of need
less offices and the increase of salaries
are evils that cannot be too carefully
guarded against. Many of the schemes
involving large expenditures, while COM
mendable enough in themselves, are not
necessarily pressing. They can afford to
wait moro convenient season Times
will doubtless improve in the near future.
but this Is not the time for encouraging
lavish expenditures. Governor Hastings
has promised to look after this matter,
and as things appear now he will have TO
make use of the veto power to ease the
strain upon the treasury.

No Time for YaWping.

Just now, when a few fussy old fogies
like Senator Hawleys Hartford Cour-
ant are disposed to blink at Thomas b.
Reed for not long-windedly beating
theoretical tom tom on the currency
question, while the national credit is
going to pieces inch by inch, it is re-
freshing to come across a stalwart
Democratic paper with the good sense
to give proper credit where credit is
due, even to the extent of praising
political opponent. The Philadelphia
Record is such a paper, and it says
with cheerful frankness which we com
mend:
Mr.. Reed whatever else his critics may
find to say about him, has never once
lacked the courage of his convictions.
His substitute was not Il currency scheme.
1t was an eXpedient addressed to an
emergency, conceived in recognition of the
fact that only remnant of the session
remained and that the larger question
could not possibly be dealt WITH while
the treasury's dwindling reserve was a
condition that could not wait. Yet the
Reed substitute, while aVowedly nothing
more than an emergency measure, showed
craftsmanship of the practical sort, the
sort which has been so woefully lacking
among his critics. Mr. Reed, however,
will probably not bother himself to scr.-
ously argue with his critical friends who
threaten in these inclement and blizzard
GUS days to plow a new pathway for them
selves, but will rather be inclined to say
to them: "Wayward brothers depart in
peace" If they should do so they would
simply cut themselves off from a brainy
leader who leads. and whose business
sense and regard for national credit are
not to be impeached. And they would
not leave Mr.. Reed very lonesome. The
leader who in financial measures stands
with John Sherman. and who can offer a
non-partisan measure commanding the
support of 100 Republican votes in tile
house, is certainly in very large and very
good company.
The present is a good time for Re-
publicans to remember that when the
dogmat!c assertion of pet financial hob
bies means costly legislative dead
lock ruinous to every branch of busi-
ness and trade, the policy of wisdom is
not to foment new wrangles by obsti-
nate reiteration of extreme opinions,
but to seek for an equitable basis Of
mutual agreement. This country can
get along nicely under any set of laws
If the fatulent theorists in congress at
Washington would only close their
cavernous mouths and give 1t half a
chance.

Nonsense About High License.

1t is amusing to notice with what
earnestness several Pittsburg and Phil
adelpha contemporaries just now de-
fend the Brooks high license law as a
solution Of the. liquor problem which.
as one paper exultingly declares, "could
be much more easily weakened than
strengthened" The object of this sud-
den fondness for that law Is to ward Off
a possible amendment of 1t involving
what Is virtually local option, In an
other form. That amendment Is known
as the Pennewell bill, and, as we have
hitherto explained. 1t leaves to a ma
jority of the residents and property
owners of given district the deter
mination oftheNuestion whether a liquor
license shall be issued for that district

Upon another page appears plain
statement concerning the financial con-
dition and needs of the Scranton Young
Mems Christian association. That in
stitution is one in which every broad
minded citizen takes honest pride. We
do not propose to take up our readers
time in recapitulating its advantages.
Those persons who know anything
about the subject know what those
advantages are, and how much they
would be missed if suddenly subtracted
from the community.
A plan has been evolved to help the
Scranton Young Mems Christian asso-
citation; that is, to extend its usefulness
and enlarge and improve it's facilities.
The details of this plan will be printed
in tomorrow's Tribune. 1t will require,
to be successful, something more sub
stantial than words. 1t will require
cash, good, sound. actual cash. Not
withstanding the number of the de-
mands nowadays made upon the purses
of our generous people, we believe that
this requirement will be met. 1t will be
met because it must be met; because
justice and right demand that it be
met.

to say on this subject in tomorrows S

Against the New Revenue Bill.

The manufacturers of Pennsylvania
are lighting the new revenue bill framed
by the state tax conference. Chairman
Ritter of the house ways and means COM
mittee which has the measure under con-
Sideration, has received protests from
manufacturers all over the state against
its becoming law and asking for hear
ing before 1t Is acted upon finally by the
committee. The Manufacturers club. of
Philadelphia, through its secretary,
Charles Heber Clarke, the distinguished
political economist. has given Chairman
Ritter notice Of It's opposition to the
scheme and will send a large delegation
to oppose 1t. Mr.. Clarke Is IA member of
the conference and made bitter attack
upon the bill when it was under consid-
Grafton by that body. He characterized
it as u scheme to relieve the agricultural
classes of their share of the burdens of
state taxation by imposing it upon the
manufacturers and corporations Mr.,
Clarke left the meeting in disgust and
never returned. The greatest objection
claimed to the bill Is that 1t inlcts addi-
ional burdens upon many of the Industries
of the state and will tend to drive them
10 more favored localities or to retire from
business.
