SmaIley on Bayard's Case.

For once it happens that George w.
Smalley, that whilom beau ideal OF
Toryjsm. has found 1t In him to utter
both sensible and patriotic advice. In
his special syndicate letter to several
American papers, published few days
aro Mr.. Smalley discusses the cohtro-
versy into which Americans have fallen
with their own ambassador to England
and in the course of that discussion
says: .. a..
do not think the proceedings OF the
house of repre sentative3 likely to do US
,nuc6 credit abroad. Undoubtedly, MT.
Ravard made a mistake, or two mistakes.
n was net the duty of an American am
hassador to critcise American policy or
American parties before a British audi
ence. 1t was not his duty to discuss the
character of the American people IN tne
presence of Englishinen. what ne saia
about our being oftentime5 self-coniident
and violent and needing strong ruler IS
true enough, but 1t was not for him to say
what he urged at Edinburgh aginst pro-
lection and the corrupting influence OF pro-
dection on public life in America. what
he said is, I think, not true: but. again.

The Strike in Philadelphia.

There is nearly always too much
haste In criticizing the civil authorities
Of a community when they fail to sue
cessfully cope with a body of rioters.
What Philadelphia experienced this
week has been the experience at some
time Of nearly every large city in the
country. Riots spring into existence
~ the shortest notice, as rule, and the
result Is that the civil authorities are
unpFepared to meet the emergency at
once, but there was no reasonable ex-
pectation that this strike would at once
b attended with great riot. Phila-
delphia has large police force and
kaken a. : whole 1t Is probably the equal
tof the force in any other city, and su-

lo6dntry there il always great reluct-
Ante TO call the military into service.

The St. Louis Programme,

The Altoona Tribune, one of the most
conservative Republican papers in
Western Pennsylvania, in commenting
upon the announced programme of the
Pennsylvania delegation at ST. Louis,
says: "As the gentlemen who are in
control of our state politics have no in
tention of permitting Pennsylvania
to be nominated, there is no reason why
a pretense to the contrary should be
made. The purpose, of course, Is to put
the delegation in shape for handling
most effectively on behalf of the candi-
date whose nomination the managers
really desire. Nor should Senator Cam
ern lead a delegation to a Republican
convention. He has not been a Repub-
lican for years, s,having repeatedly voted
contrary to the fundamental principles
of the Republican party and being at
this moment Populist in sentiment.
There are plenty of genuine Republi-
cans in this state"
This Is only one of many expressions
which show that an attempt to make
a stool pigeon of Pennsylvania candi-
dacy at st. Louis would be resented by
party sentiment. If such purpose has
been entertained by the present leader
ship of the party in this state, it is not
too late to take cognizance of it's evil
dent unpopularity, and modify the pro-
gramme so as to render 1t more in har-
mony with the dominant party desire.
If it be deemed expedient to cast the
vote of the Pennsylvania delegation for
a Pennsylvania presidential candidate,
such action should be genuine and in
good faith. No effort should be spared
to make that candidacy successful; and
the quest should be abandoned only
when its futility had become unmis-
takably evident.
Such @ course Of procedure would
sustain the dignity Of the common
we.lth, and constitute a lifting vindi-
cation of the party leadership from the
charge tklt it's supremacy Is main
tanned only for selfish purposes.

A Proper Protest.

A large number of the Republican
newspapers of Pennsylvania are enter
Ing well-dlrected protest against the
arrangement alleged to have been made
1t the recent conference between Sena-
Tor Quay and number of other Repub-
Dican leaders, by which Senator Cam
Iron was designated as the proper per-
son for chairman of the Pennsylvania
delegation in the Republican National
convention. If the leaders in confer
ence mapped out a programme as al
legged, the least that can be said is that
It was altogether premature. The Penn
sylvania delegation will consist of six
ty-four delegates, only few of whom
have been chosen. 1t is fair to assume
that majority of these delegates will
be representative Republicans, and men
pfNntelligence and character If Sena-
tor Quay, and the half-dozen gentlemen
he called into conference with him, have
presumed to select the chairman for the
whole body Of delegates, all that need
be said is that they have assumed a
great deal. 1t is not improbable that
when the sixty-four shall have been duly
chosen a considerable number of them
will want to have something to say
themselves as to who shall be their
chairman and spokesman on the floor
Of the convention.
The Republican newspapers are alto
in, ti,,sr n h;
premature action by the conference al
luded to. The attempt Is manifestly to
be made to give Senator Cameron un-
aue prominence inthe National conven-
hon, a distinction to which he is clearly
not entitled and which would never be
conferred upon him by the mass of Re-
publicans in this state. He has for
years chosen to act outside of Repub-
lican lines in the senate, and has not
done anything for his party in the state
DR. nation to entitle him to any honor or
distinction at the hands of his party.
Public sentiment in the Republican
party has compelled him to announce
his retirement as a candidate for re-
electlOn 10 tne SENATE ana tnlS IS rCt a
very auspicious time to push him to the
front as the leader of Republicanism in
National convention of the party. For
few men, however prominent them
selves, to get together and select this
non-conformist Republican for chair
man of the states delegation, in ad-
vance Of the election of the delegates,
Is an act Of presumption almost without
q parallel and it is not surprising that
the Republican press of the state enters
Its solemn protest against the propo-
sition. Let the sixty-four National
delegates select their own chairman.
We apprehend that that is precisely
what they will do, and his name Will
not be ]. Donald Cameron.
