THE state Republican convention, says
the Harrisburg Patriot, of Thursday, will
to-day, with what is popularity mis-
named enthusiasm, endorse Senator
Quay for the presidency. 1t will do so
not because the gentleman has any pc
culiar fitness for the place. 1t will do so
for one reasen solely because the man
himself demands it.
Less than a decade ago such action
would have been believed absolutely inn
possible on the part of any future state
convention. Indeed had Senator Quay
rs late as two years ago declared that in
the event of General Hastings election
as governor he would be presidential
candidate and had General Hastings ad-
ded to the announcement that he, as
governor of the commonwealth, would
take pride In presenting the name of the
Beaver politician to the national conven-
ton, General Hastings would now be
practicing law in Bellefonte and Will
lam NJ. Singerly would be occupying the
executive mansion on the Susquehan-
mas banks.
But "things are differnt now" The
public conscience appears to be stilled.
The independence of high minded Re
publicans seems to have voluntarily
shackled itself. No voice within his
party protests against Quay's nomina
ton and tyranny save that of once
power gorged and always corrupt politi-
clan from the western metropolis of the
state and his cry comes not from tor
tured heart but out of an emptied stom-
ach. Men high in private positions,
men elevated in great organizations and
institutions, men raised to the bench,
all alike vie in paying court to the boss
whose throne was tottering amid sea
of corruption later than a twelve month
ago, the boss whose daily steps for years
have invited and have been beset by
nameless dangers and whose example,
since he entered public life has been
persistently harmful and abhorrent.
"Do evil deeds thus quickly come to
end?i Are the rewards for those who
offend and the penalties for those who
would be faithful? Are the higher pur
poses of the Republican party in Penn
sylvania to be abandoned, shall its noble
achievements cease to be reverenced, its
great leaders be forgotten, that an en-
riched and implacable boss may gain
greater power, more deeply plant the
seeds of corruption more grievously
wrong and oppress great common
wealth? Or will there yet come great
outcry, moral revolution, before it is
toe late?

Murdered by burglars.

indianapolis, Ind, April 19.-Leo
Hirth, a well-known and wealthy citi-
zen, living at No. 1920 West Washing
ton street, was instantly killed at ,
O'Clock this morning by two masked
men, who were discovered in his bed
room, and whom he pursued into the
rear part of the house. Mrs. Hirt tn was
awakened by a noise in the room and
saw two men standing in the doorway
leading to another room. She gave the
alarm by calling to her husband, where
upon one of the men leveled pistol at
her and fired, the bullet entering the
headboard, just above where she lay A
second shot followed an instant later,
and the two men turned towards the rear
of the house. Mr.. HIrth was awakened

bed and followed the intruders As he
passed into the room Immediately back
of the sleeping apartment, a third shot
was fired, which sent bullet through
his heart.

Fatal Philadelphia Fire.

The explosion of gasoline tank under
the train sheds of the old Pennsylvania
Railroad Station at Thirty-second and
Market streets, Philadelphia. at about
4:20 O'Clock Saturday afternoon, led to a
conflagration which totally destroyed
that building, eight Pullman coaches,
twelve ordinary Pennsylvania dav
coaches, and an immense amount of
supplies and valuable documents. The
loss, so far as could be ascertained, will
reach nearly, if not quite, half mill
ion dollars, as that in coaches alone
will amount to nearly $3.50, 900. Dur
ing the course of the fire five firemen
were overcome by the intense heat, nine
were injured, two of whom afterward
died from their injuries, while one Penn
sylvania Railroad employee was over
come by the heat, and boy was injured
during the excitement incident to the
arrival of engines.

The house committee on territories

In General Jackson's time a man "

In General Jackson's time a man who
had 16 ounces of silver could sell them
in the market for one ounce of gold;
and so General Jackson who was a
square dealing man approved the coin
age ratio putting sixteen times as much
silver into a coined silver dollar as was
required of gold for gold dollar. But
the large quantities of silver produced of
late years, and the improved and cheap
ened processes of mining it and extract
ing the pure metal from the ore have so
reduced its value that it now requires 80
ounces of silver to buy an ounce of gold.
If General Jackson were alive he would
not be caught in the company of the
cheap money advocates who wish to put
80 cents worth of silver into a dollar
and pay 100 cents of debt with it. He
adjusted his ratio of intrinsic value, so
that all the dollars in the hand
of the people should be real dollars,
worth as much after they are melted by
fire as they were before melting.

while burning brush yesterday at his
home at st. Mary, Warwick township,
Chester county. Not returning for sup
