THE QUAY-MARTN
WAR AT AN END
Senator Admits That His Criticism OF
David Was an Injustice.
REGARDING TIE CAMERON BOOM
Mir. Quay Thinks That the stories in
of Senator CumcrCn Are Prepared
by the Promoters of Senatorial Can.
didatcs NhosDesire to Work Up an
"Anti'' Sentiment.

Beaver, Pa, Aus. 26.-In an inter-
view with representative of the Pitts
burg Dispatch, United States Senator
Quay to all intents and purposes an
nounced that the fight that had been
raging between him and David Martin,
the Republican leader of Philadelphia,
was at an end. Mr.. Quay said that he
was convinced that his criticism OF Mr..
Martin in the senate in January, 1893,
in which he accused the latter of hav-
ing been influenced in a corrupt deal.
was an injustice to the Philadelphia
leader. Mr.. Quay further said il would
seem that the warning Republican fac
tions in PENNSYLVANIA have come to
complete understanding.
After his .-Atement in regard to Mr..
Martin, Senator Quay said: II have
toubt that Martin and Magee peo-
pie will contribute valuahly to the
state Republican ticket and organiza-
tion in Pennsylvania"
In regard to the recent reports that
Senator Cameron was seeking re.
nomination Mr. Quay said: MT. Cam
erOn has formally announced that he
will not be candidate for renomina-
ton. He would not re-enter ii he could
and could not if he would. The story OF
his candidacy has, suspect, been re-
Gently revived by the promoters of sena-
torial candidates, who have little
strength or hope to win public favor by
posing ON an anti-Cameron platform.
Mi Quay predicted the election of Me
Kinlcy and denied the published stories
that he was to have charge of the Re
publican national headquarters in
New York or of the campaign in the
South He was going to New York in
Il few days he said, but simply as
high private" on the Republican
executive COMMITTEES.
WHAT MARTIN SAYS.
David Martin, when seen tonight said
that the public retraction by Senator
Quay was not altogether a surprise, as
he had heard rumors for some time
that it was coming. 1t was unsolicited,
he said, ON his part ANA entirely vOlun-
Lary on the part Of Senator quay, and
was not the result of any Intervention
on The part of mutual friends.
Further than this MIR. Martin said he
had nothing more to. say r'tii he had
read the entire Interview in the papers,
when he might talk further ON the sub
ipct. There was no deal. and as to the
effect on the local political situation he
thought there would he none.

Washington, Aug. 26.--The state de-

party was led by an American named
Cooper. There were ten in the party,

The men lost their way in the dense

hunger were attacked by q band from

sui adds:
They had barely time 70 prepare for

profit, representing the difference be-
tween the commercial value of the sill
Yer bullion and the face value of the
silver dollar, goes to the government
for the benefit of the people. The gov
crnment bought the silver bullion con-
tanned in the silver dollar at very much
less than its coinage value. 1t paid it
out to its creditors and put ii in circu
lation among the people at its face
value of one hundred cents, or a full
dollar. 1t required the people to ac-
cept i. as legal tender. and Is. thus
morally bound to maintain it at a parity
with gold. which was then, as now,
the recognized standard with us. and
the most enlightend nations of the
world. The government having issued
and circulated the silver. il must in
honor protect the holder from loss. This
obligation ii has so far SaCredly kept.
Not only is there a moral obligation,

in public value. to maintain the parity.

EDUCATION AND CRIME.

THERE is no doubt that there is a re-
lation between education and crime.
British statistics show plainly enough
for blind man to see that the wider
the educational privileges are extended
the lower is the ratio of crime How
could it be otherwise: y great many
crimes are committed by men who are
not totally depraved, because they have
no resources and don't know how to
get living. An education gives them
opportunities. 1t makes them self
reliant, and if they can't do one thing
they do another The temptation to
lead a vicious life is thereby weak
ened The world is a pretty bad world
and vet | believe that the men who
prefer crime to virtue are very rare
exceptions. Nearly everybody would
be reasonably honest if he had fail

We occasionally hear Of a man with
fair prospects in life who has ruined
all by crooked methods. but such cases
are rare in criminal annals. The MAI
who can earn sufficient to supply hi:
wants, and lay up something for thu
prOverbial ''rainy day." would be foo
to commit criminal act that is almOS
certain to bring upon him disgrace ant
ruin. 1t is not so very hard to b.
honest with a plethoric bank account
but it is easy to still the warning moni
tor within when impelled to dishonest
by hunger. The honesty most in vogu
nowadays is the honesty OF policy

of the man she loves, the unspeakably
precious burden of the little ones, all
she finds in the word ''home," and the
knowledge, deep in her heart, that for
her and her children and this same
home mans best effort is expended.
Lacking this compensation, gold would
be but dross. This may seem to some
entirely sentimental, but who amongst
us is brave enough to face life without
sentiment, and who is bold enough

THE following pathetic appeal from
the editor of the Murdoch Rerieu
would indicate that his bedtick needs

laws would be fatal to his advance
ment in life. But the illiterate, who
tolls in summers heat and winters
cold for pittance that barely sutfices
to keep body and soul together, is easily
led to believe that his condition can be
no worse: and if of naturally vicious
disposition, such man will make a
dangerous criminal. Imprisonment
makes him no better-perhaps worse,
for it strengthens his preconceived be-
lief that there is all insurmOuntable
barrier erected between him and re-
spectacle citizenship and that it is
useless for him to expect any other
than servile condition in life. Edu-
cation would give him broader and
more correct views of life. and the
self reliance that is begotten Of knoWl-
edge would carry him safely through
disappointments that would dishearten
the illiterate who distrusts his power
to cope with adverse fortune. The
difficulty in effecting a reformation IN
the so-called professional crook, is not
! that he is so vicious and depraved as to
prefer life of crime, but because he
lacks the proper training to fill re-
spectacle position in the honest walks
of life. The learning of good trade
has often been the cause of refOrma
