In the Hands of nj. Friends.

It was announced in our dispatches
yesterday that Senator Quay Of Pennsyl-
vania is in the hands Of his friends as a
candidate for the republican nomination
for president We do not for a moment
suppose that Senator Quay's friends en-
terrain the hope Of securing the nomina-
tion for him. He would not be a strong
candidate. He is known as a shrewd pol
itician. not as a statesman. and his rec
ord as a politician is not one that would
help him in a presidential campaign. 1t
may be true that he is not guilty Of any
Of the discreditable charges that have
been made against him. but whether he is
or not the charges would be revived and
used against him. and they could be used
with telling force
The purpose of putting Senator Quay
IN the field as a candidate is doubtless
to get such a control by the Pennsylvania
delegation to the St. Louis convention as
to make it possible for the republican
leaders of Pennsylvania to use it for the
presidential candidate they prefer The
fact also that Senator Quay is himself
a presidential candidate relieves him of
the necessity for declaring his preference
for any other one of the avowed candi-
dates for the republican nomination.
The announcement. therefore, that SEN
ator Quay is a presidential candidate
means nothing more than that another
move has been made in the political game
for the control of the national republican
convention.
The question as to whom Senator Quay
prefers for standard bearer of the repub-
lican party this year is of far more i'm
portance than the announcement of Sen
ator Quay's candidacy. If he goes to the
national convention having control of the
Pennsylvania delegation he will be very
influential in naming the next republican
ticket.
The understanding seems to be that
Seator Quay favors the nomination of
Speaker Reed 1t cannot be said, however.
that he will stand by Reed from now until
the question of the nomination has been
settled. If it should develop when the
convention convenes that Mr.. Reed can
not get the nomination it is pretty certain
that Senator Quay would not waste any
time upon him. He would carry his dele
cation to the man who promised to sue
coed.
In the estimation of shrewd Washing
ton politicians Maj. Mckinley now leads
all other candidates. though Speaker
Reed is admitted to be a pretty close sec
ond. A few weeks. however, may change
the present situation greatly. There are
clever politicians working against Mai.
Mckinley. Their plan seems to be to put
out local candidates in the great states
like New York, Pennsylvania and ILL
nois and thus prevent Mckinley from
getting any delegates in those states
pledged to him. The announcement of
Senator Quay's candidacy appears to be
a part of this plan.

DE CouIdn,t sag "Quacks."

Here is a good story from the New
York Tribune: Old Mr.. Starr of Williams
county made an earnest speech in the
Ohio House of Representatives Wednes-
day, in opposition to the Kimmel bill, reg
his remarks he attempted to say "quacks,"
but the word got lost in his fasle teeth.
After several frantic attempts to get the
word out, Mr.. Starr angriy yanked the
teeth out. in full view of the House, and
slammed them down on his desk, remark
ing: IN jest throw them teeth out" The
House shrieked with laughter, but in spite
of the speech, the bill passed. The lone
vote against the bill was that of the man
who threw away his teeth.

Let the Good work Go on.
From Charleston News and Courier Dem

The Washington dispatches in the Sa-
vannah Morning News yesterday stated
that Senator Gordon had presented a pc
tition from the Savannah board of trade
praying for an appropriation for contin-
uance of the Improvement of the harbor
at that city" We hope that the petition
will be granted and the appropriation ask
ed for made. Savannah is one of the most
important cities in the south and should
receive liberal treatment from congress-
The river and harbor improvements which
have been projected there have been prose-
cuted with rare good judgment and their
continuance is necessary to the increasing
commerce of the port. We are sure thar
the commercial bodies in Charleston and
our senators and representatives in con-
gress Will be pleased to give Savannah any
assistance in their power.

A sensational New York paper announ-
ces that there is talk in Ohio of the adop-
ton of a novel scheme for the execution
of criminals by which it is claimed that
death will result in a shorter time and
with less suffering than by either hanging
or electrocution. BY the proposed de-
vice the head of the condemned person is
to be crushed in a helmet. The mere
thought of the method is so revolving that
siderable body of sane men are in favor
of the adoption of any such thing. The
suggestion that Ohio is considering the
scheme is merely vehicle to make plaus-
ible horrible fake.

p. p. p. SAVES HIS LEG.

Jacksonville, Fla, July l, 1S95.-Two
years ago 1 had the worst ulcer on my
leg ever saw. 1t had eaten down to the
a,od ma, 19 9ont S % snia aD1 Mama
The bone was Swollen and painful, and
discharged most offensive matter. My
physicians said L had necrosis of the bone,
and my leg would have to come off. At
this stage I commenced to take P. p. P.
and to battle my leg with hot CASTLE soap
suds. 1t began to improve at once and
healed rapidly, and is to-day sound and
useful leg.
II think P. P. P, Lippman's Great
Remedy, is all a man could ask for as a
blood purifier, as 1 have known it to cure
some terrible cases of blood poisoning in
remarkably short time.

1t seems that somebody, with malice
aforethought and instigated by the unholy
one spread the rumor among the convicts
of the Cole City camp that the captain of
the guard, was a moss-back. The inslnua-
ton was more than man of Capt Cox's
high spirit could brook. 1t implied that he
was not up to snuff. that he did not know
a thing or two, that he was a little less
smart than the spirit of the times seemed
to demand. The calumny ranked in the
captains breast. He was resolved to have
a vindication. He was determined to nail
the falsehood to the counter, and prove
to the convicts and through them to the
world, that his traducers were unworthy
of confidence. To that end he lined the
convicts up in the prison yard, and strip
ping his shirt off, turned his back to the
convicts in order that they might see with
their own eyes that there was no moss on
it. 1t was a glorious moment for the cap
tain when his broad back shone white in
the glad sunlight of that bright Sunday
morning. The wide expanse of cuticle
glistened. proving concluslvely the alb
sence Of moss and the presence of a high
state of polish. The exhibition was a
complete vindication of the captain; and
the vindication has now gone on record be-
fore the governor of the state. 1t would
seem, therefore, that the captain may
now run for office if he feels so inclined.

Mr.. Crisp the other DAY twitted the re-
publicans in the House upon their inabili-
ty to attend to the public business, say
ing their action with regard to the Dis
trict of Columbia bill showed them in
competent to transact the business of a
town council. The congressman was just
a 'Ieetle" bit wrong. Congress passed
promptly an act to prevent two men from
fighting with their fists such as town
council might have passed. 1t is when
congress comes to the consideration of
national matters that it falls down. 1t
could run a town all right, provided it
wasn't too big a town.

1t appears from the official reports that
the work of improving the harbor at
Charleston has been attended with most
gratifying results. We quote from the
News and Courier: I'm June, 1885, over
81 feet could be taken through on a
straight range. A trihing deviation at one
point on the indicated range will afford
a route whose minimum depth is % feet
from deep water to deep water" That
means that the jetties have been effective,
and that the bar at the mouth of the
harbor has been secured out to a depth
that will admit of the passage of great
ships. We take pleasure in congratulating
Charleston upon this result. 1t means a
great deal for her prosperity and increas-
ed commercial Importance. What Charles
ton will need to do now is to be watchful
that deep water is maintained, now that
it has been secured.

Senator Hawley is correct when he says
there is danger of running to extremes in
those that are in the calendar now might
be dispensed with to the great advantage
of the people who have work to do. and
who are disposed to do the work. 1t would
be an excellent idea if a lot of the saints
days and the heroes days could be bunch
ed, like the Atlanta exposition people used
TO bunch the state. county and city days,
and celebrated half dozen at a time.

A New York Sun cable says a scientist
in Rome claims to have made an optical
instrument which enables the human eye,
by means of the X rays, to see through
anything which those rays can penetrate.
The inventor produced his apparatus and
several physicians were able to see with
it the contents of a closed aluminium
box. This information is enough to make
the free silver shriekers and the snap
convention advocates in this state quake
with apprehension and fear.
