MR.. CLEVELAND ON PEACE.
His Letter to the Philadelphia Peac
Meeting.

His Letter to the Philadelphia Peace
Meeting.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb 23.-The most
important feature of the celebration
yesterday of Washington's birthday was
the conference held in the headquarters
of the Universal Peace Society by prom
inent advocates of arbitration for the
purpose of discussing the feasibility of
the creation of court of arbitration
for the peaceful adjustment Of difficult
ties that may arise between the United
States and Great Britain"
Letters were read from President
Cleveland, Secretaries Smith and Nor
ton, and Post Master General Wilson.
President Cleveland said, in part 1T
should be entirely unnecessary for me
to assure those who advocate this cause
of my hearty sympathy with any move
ment that tends to the establishment Of
peaceful agencies for the adjustment Of
international disputes. The subject
should be discussed with a clear per-
ception Of all the features belonging to
it, and in spirit of patriotism as well
as love for mankind"
Secretary Morton wrote: eff, after
all these centuries of alleged civilization
and Christianity, England and the
United States must settle their differ
ences like wild beasts, by mere brute
force, then is our boasted superiority
over savagery and barbarism a myth"

QUAY DECLARES HIMSELF.

His Answer to the Representatives Let.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The candida
cy of Senator Quay for the Presidency,
which is exciting great interest among
all who are concerned in politics, re-
ceives new stimulus from the action
Of the Pennsylvania delegation in the
House. Twenty. five out of the twenty
eight Republican Representatives join
ed in letter expressing their pleasure
in the suggestion that he be candidate,
promising support, and requesting him
to run. Representative Dalzell, of Pitts
burg, declined to sign the letter, be-
cause he is for Reed, and Representa-
tive Stable and Congressman. at Large
Huff refused for reasons not disclosed.
To this letter he made the following
reply on Thursday last:
Gentlemen: Your letter of the 10th
inst. has been handed to me this even
ing. Some days age, in Difference to
friends whose wishes could not be dis
regarded, l signified by willingness that
my name should go before the Republi-
cans of the country in the high connec-
ton you mention, and your kind coinci-
dence in their suggestion is exceedingly
gratifying. Believing that they and
you are equally sincere, l remit my can
didacy in all good faith to the wisdom
Of the delegates who will assemble at
st. Louis on the 18th of June next.
/ have the honor to be, with much re-
spect, your obedient servant
M. S. QUAY.
This correspondence establishes the
fact that Senator Quay is candidate,
and gives the other aspirants new fac
tor to reckon with. Concerning his
platform, the Senator says it will be;
More protection, more money, more
public improvements and municipal re-
form"

Pingree's Plan,

Mr.. B. O. Flower, in his article on
"Practical Measures to Maintain Self
Respecting Manhood which appears
elsewhere in this issue, refers to the
fact that Mayor Pingree met with
strong opposition when he essayed to
help the poor of Detroit in a practical
way. This opposition showed itself,
not in argument, but in ridicule. If
this were solitary instance, the matter
would not be so serious, but wherever a
serious attempt is made in behalf of the
poor the same kind ofopposition, mani
tested in the same way, is always met.
This is quite unfortunate.
The spirit that ridicules ahy serious
effort to do good is not the spirit that
solves difficulties, but is the one that
hinders their solution. History is full
oflessons ofrebuke to such spirit
All Of our cherished institutions were
once hypothesis and existed only in
the brains of a few people who had in
sight and the courage of their convic-
tions. Freedom, Democracy, Repub-
licanism, were once hated words and
are even now in many countries. All
government is experimental, and we
ought to treat all efforts to improve any
phase of our society with at least "de-
cent respect" The foundation of all
liberty and the condition of all progress
is in the right of every man to think for
himself and to express his thoughts
without intimidation.
Ridicule is antiliberal and un Ameri-
can. Earnest discussion and expert
ment are the only methods of ridding
us ofunprohtable hypothesis. Anoth-
er important suggestion from Mr..
Flowers very suggestive article is that
our financial difficulties may be in a
large measure solved without legisla
ton. Each community, independent
in measure of legislation, can do
much more than is now being done to
solve the problem of poverty.

S0HUYLKILL'S TWO JUDGES.
Attorney Generals Opinion Against Their
Removal

Attorney General Mccormick
has sent an opinion to Gov.
Hastings relative to the removal of
judges in Schuylkill county. Recent
ly J. o. Ulrich, of Pottsville, the
Schuylkill county solicitor, wrote to
the governor asking him under certain
provisions in article S of the constitu-
ton, to remove two judges of that
county, who had been incapacitated
from work, one for three years and
the other for over one year. The at
torney general advises the governor
that he has no power under the law
to take the initiative in such a man
ner. A judge can Only be removed
from office, he says, by process of i'm
peachment or by an address to the
Governor signed by two-thirds of the
members of each house of the gener-
al assembly. Under the circumstances
the Attorney General holds that no
action can be taken.

Commander and Mrs. Baliington Booths
Manifesto on Their Forced Resignation.
They will Not Go to Europe. An Issue
of Fact.
New YORK. Feb. 28.-There is serious
trouble in the Salvation Army over the
recall of Commander and Mrs. Balling-
ton Booth from America.
On Saturday manifesto of Com,
mander and Mrs. Booth was publ shed
in which they say
Yesterday Thursday, at midnight,
with most positive and uncalled-for pre-
cipitation, with the authority of Inter-
national Headquarters, Commandant
Herbert Booth demanded that we hand
over our keys and offices by ten o'clock
this friday morning. We had, there
fore no alternative but to accept our
peremptory dismissal.
On Sunday, there was published the
statement of Col Alexander Nicol,
who came as General Booths represent
ative. In this he said:
1T is untrue, as reported in the press
that Commandant Herbert Booth per-
emptorily demanded his brother to
hand over the keys and property Of the
army.
This was square denial of the state
inent made by the Ballington Booths,
and Commander Booth promptly replied
to it, with a statement published on
Monday. In this he repeats the state
ment that peremptory demand was
made, and publishes a memorandum Of
the interview to confirm the assertion.
He also says that he and Mrs. Booth will
not go to Europe.
There was a rumor on Tuesday that
the Ballington Booths would secede;
and the Elk Commanders statement
last evening gives some color to the
rumor. He will at any rate consult
lawyer before giving up the Army
property which is in his name.
Col. Eadie said to day that there was
no danger of secession; but Ballington
Booth says significantly that he has not
yet decided what to do. 1t is under
stood that his final decision will be given
on Saturday.
Commander Booth Tucker and Mrs.
Tucker ia daughter of General Booth)
have been appointed to the American
command.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 23. - Chairman
Harrity of the National Democratic
Committee was here on Friday last on
a political mission, and had several
hours conference with Gov. Matthews,
in which, from subsequent develop
ments, it is believed that he asked the
Governor to accept the second place on
the ticket.
After the conference he spoke in the
highest terms of tie Governor, and a
report was soon current that he had
asked Mr.. Matthews to accept second
place, and assured him that it would be
accorded him without a contest in the
convention.
After Mr.. Harrity left the Capitol the
Governor was asked if he would accept
the second place, and replied:
Il am not candidate for Vice Presi-
dent and will not be. My mind is ir.
revocably made up on that question.

Who Are Parasites?

A labor leader said recently that
every man who did not produce some
thing tangible was a parasite. This
is asserted quite frequently in labor
circles, and grows out of antagonism
that certain mechanics have against
men whose work is intellectual. 1t is
poor way to advocate a cause by
calling hard names. Indeed, this un-
settles many things and keeps men
apart. The greatest men of the race
have done little physical labor. Where
are the material products of Moses,
Zoroaster, Buddha, Confucius and
Mohammed, to say nothing of Shakes
peare, Goethe, Spinoza, Plato and
Emerson, or Darwin, Huxley,
Tyndall and Weissman?
Thought work is the noblest, and
all material production becomes really
and only valuable when it helps to
produce thought, noble and free. All
honest and intelligent toll is noble,
and the toiler should be highly re-
spected and receive his just share of
reward, but the day laborer depends on
the thinker, as much as the thinker on
the laborer. Indeed, all real work is
thought work. The intellect is the
pioneer that opens the way for the hand
to do, and the hand cannot be trained
to do its work without the mind labors
first and knows how to direct. 1t will
be an unhappy day for any country
when its mechanics cease to respect
the great thinkers.

OIL MILL MEN In SESSION.

Waco, Tex. June 2.-(Spccial.) 1.-THE
third annual convention of the Oil Mill
Superintendent association began at the
city hall at = o'clock this afternoon. Jas
G. Walsh of the Empire oil mills at
Temple, president of the association,
reached the city last night. Discussing
the association he said:
THE association was organized in
Waco in May, 1894, and at that time
only included oil men in the state as
members. This was changed at the Dal-
las meeting last year. however, and it
is now a national organization. The
constitution and bylaws were altered in
order to change the form of the organi-
cation and take all cotton states into it.
The object of the association is to i'm
prove the acquaintance among cotton
seed oil men, raise the standard of pro-
hciency in the work and otherwise ia
cilitate the progress of the superintend-
ents department. All superintendent
are eligible to membership"
After calling the meeting to order,
President Walsh delivered his annual
address. The meeting then went into
