tour of inspection all through, and travel
ing by night and inspecting by day, the
board made it's rounds in eight days.
The depth of water in the harbOr is
felt to be a very essential point, for
the transports, as well as the conveys
would have difficulty in threading some
of the narrow, tOrtuOus and shallow
harbors leading to the points Of inspec-
tion. Jacksonville is well thought of,
but the depth of the water at the en-
trance of St Johns river, which is not
much more than fifteen feet between the
jetties, is something of n drawback. AT
Fernandina there is fifteen feet at the
entrance, deepening to three and one
quarter fathoms further up the channel
Savannah has from eighteen to twenty
feet at low water. Members of the
feet at low waters. Members of the
board will give no information as to the

afternoon. approached nearer than is
usually the case at Santa Clara. and
fired three shots at punta Brava. The

There was some confusion in the Off

such delays are inevitable, and that
rarely does a feet get off by the first in
tention. However. the department Off
calS stated this afternoon that they be-

The people of Pennsylvania are,
above all things else, fair and just, and
they can be trusted to see through the
sinister motives animating the small
coterie of diSgruntled, defeated poll
ticians who are responsible for this
sensational resort to the courts. IE
due time there will be a complete ex-
position of the true inwardness of this
latest act in the drama of character as
assination.-Tionesta Republican.
But should this prosecution turn out
to be a part of a general conspiracy
to blacken Senator Quay's character
for political buncombe, then those who
are pursuing him with such spteful
malignancy, and who are resorting to
such contemplate methods to accomp-
lish their purposes, should bear the
odum which belongs to such conduct.
If there is anything worse than dis
regard of the laws of the land, it is an
attempt to use those laws for ignoble
purposes, such as private revenge or
political buncombe. - PunXsutawney
Spirit
There is purpose for this, of course,
which is neither to seek the ends of JUS
tice nor restore to the public anything
that has been lost. We do not say this
because of any disposition to defend
Senator Quay or any other politician in
wrong doing, but because the motive
is always apparent when a charge
against a man in office is kept on the
shelf until such time as it is believed to
be of political service to opposing par
ties If a wrong has been commit
ted it should be brought to light at
once by parties having knowledge of
it.-Dubois Courier.
1t is evident that the institution Of
the suit against Senator Quay and
others was actuated by political mo-
tives, rather than through an honest
desire to protect the interests of the
commonwealth. The evidence on this
point is too clear for reasonable doubt.
If there were no evidence of this the
fact that the institution of the suit was
postponed until a month before the
election, when the books and papers
on which it is based We're accessible to
the parties ingtituting the proceedings
months before, more than justifies this
inference.-Lancaster New Era.

We entertain no fears of the ability
of Senator Quay not only to dispose
satisfactorily of the present charges
against him, but also to uncover those
who are using this line of attack upon
him. we suspect, indeed, that when the
courts have concluded their probing it
will not be Quay who will emerge the
worse for the revelations thus invited
or the more astonished at the effect of
those revelations upon public opinion.
