Anne Defends Edward.

The gallantry with which the chivalnc
Anne Ellis defends the beautiful being who
honors the name Of Edward wolcott must
cbaIienege general attention.
Anne-we do not know whether she is
Mrs. or Miss-is d voter Of the state of
Colorado, and she does not propose that
any person shall shatUer her bisque Politi-
cal Idol, the dainty and sweet but able and
aggressive Senator Wolcott: and so she re
Dukes The Times man, who, in yesterday
mornings issue, designated the Senator as
The vicarious wolcott; a Silver Sacri-
flee on a Golden Atari
And in this determination we applaud
question, not only charming but also a re
markably able man. In comparison with
him the Fop that passed between Hotspur
and the wind was rude person; and vet,
with all his dantiness, he is as gallant and
as honest as Hotspur was. In him is
combination Of the sweetness of the rose
with the strength OF the oak. With ease
and dra rawing-room courtesy be can sustain
Right IN its hour Of weakness, and, with
irresistible power, assail Wrong in the
hour Of its greatest strength. Why, there
fore, should not the women voters of Col
Orado rush to the support OF this Adonis
and Hercules in one person? Why should
the brave women OF Colorado hesitate to
rebuke the assailants Of the fair Senator
from their beloved State? We give it up
and in giving up these conundrums we re-
spectfully invite attention TO the com
munication OF Anne Ellis published this
morning in another column OF this blush
ing and Wolcott-loving journal. May a
kind Heaven preserve Edward in robus-
tious health and keep the rude winds from
visiting his tender cheek too roughly!

POLITICS In PENNSYLVANIA.

Ex-Clerk of the House James Kerr, Of
Pennsylvania, was at the Capitol yesterday.
He had long talk with Chairman Jones
OF the Democratic National Committee in
the Senate marble room. Mr Kerr says
that the Democrats of Pennsylvania are
not at all depressed by the victory OF @ nay
over Wanamaker.
1T is none OF our funeral" said Mr..
Kerr, but we remember Mr.. wanama ker' s
part In raising the corruption fund in 1888.
He made no pretense then OF being better
than Quay or of being opposed to bossisIn
in politics. He was willing, even eager,
to stand in with the bosses and receive his
pay for his services as a fat-fryer by
taking Cabinet place. AS far Is bossisrn
and Doodle is concerned, there is certainly
no choice between Wanamaker and QUAY.
OF the two. Quay is preferable, for he
uses no prctense about it.
1.-The Democratic candidate for sena-
tor against Penrose will be ex-Lieut. Gov.
Chauncey F. Black continued Mr.. Kerr
.'He was loyal supporter OF the Chicago
ticket in the late campaign, and one OF the
first prominent Democrats il the State to
announce his conviction that party fealty
demanded this course. No, we don't ex-
pect to cut much figure in legislation.
We have only thirty-three representatives
and six senators.
''Still, if Mr.. Wanamaker were really
in earnest in his promise TO fight the Quay
machine / do not doubt our Democratic
members would be ready to join in altering
the present gerTymander of the State and
to bring about other needed reforms. -

MR.. LA ZELLES STATEMENT.

Editor Times: Noticing in your issue Of
January 5 an article reflecting on the
honor of an absent member of my family,
/ hope you viii be prompt in publishing
its denial 1t is the fourth article within
eighteen ortwenty months, and allfrom the
same writer Did the public only know the
inner life of that writer and the object in
writing, there would be no need of an
answer.
There are such things as jails, and the
courts sometimes send writers there in
order to show them that there is Justice
to be had for the mere asking. Did seek
notoricty might appeal to them, and
may be forced to yet.
Allow me to say that my daughter left
home alone in 1892, when she entered her
profession. She was engaged with we'll
known companies while away, and every
step she made can be tracked and mapped
out and the name of Smith Will not be
found in it in any shape. His own family
knew better of his whereabouts than she
did.
Ny daughter helped him in his theatrical
matters in 1892, previous to her departure.

tragedy in Savannah, and its effect OH her

Really this is serious matter, getting
the true history of the Mckinley gold cam
pairn cleared up faithfully, before the truth
is clouded by the next enga cement with
the enemy in 1898 and 1900, But it has
got to be done; SO Hanna has squad at
work in his ne W headquarters, established
recently, in the Glover building, OF this
CITY. These gentle assistants are busy max.
ing a map Of the battlefielda cadaStral
political survey of every tightly fought
county or township in the Union.
Hanna can do that we'll enough, that
part of the history, because it Is imper
sonal; but when he begins to dovetail the
Swedish, and other Heterogeneous forces
of his army into clean, honest story for
the delight and instruction Of posterity, he
will have staring him full in the face the
impossible. He will meet one man, alone,
in this country who may satisfy him, how
ever, and that man is Eli Perkins. Pos
sibly Eli is under orders, and at work
now.
But, seriously speaking, this attempt to
show that the intelligence and the patriot
ism of the American people was all banded
on the side of the gold ticket, has suffered
from the cold logic OF the returns; the
room for an intelligent difference of opin-
ion is now being admitted by the most
intolerenJ, and the American people will
continue to study those economic prob
lens that now CONFRONT them just as
sternly as t4ey did before the election
last November. -

900 of these white Americans belong to
his camp, and justice must be done them
in the history.
This is an embarrassing claim; it mixes

CLoAKROOM AND CORRIDOR.

Boies Penrose, who is about to make
the great Vault from the senate at Harris

And what of Cameron. he made no ef-
fort whatever TO be re-Aected. He received
only one vote lin the caucus, at Harris

For the first time in nearly hail a cen
tHry the famous Cameron influence in
Pennsylvania politics is claimed to be nil.
The Pennsylvania politicians in the city
attribute this to two causes, Indifference
TO continuance in public life, and the con-
stancy with which he had adhered to his
views on the silver question. Whatever
the reason for his course, it is agreed
that he could have made a strong fight
for continuance in the Senate, and there
are those who believe he would have
