Quay and Wanamaker In Penn
syivania.

One Of the most notable contests as
ISOLATED with the political campaign
just closed was that in Pennsylvania,
In which former Postmaster General
John Wanamaker attempted to over
throw the predominating influence of
Senator Matthew s. Quay Mr. Wana-
maker has been almost continuously
or the stump during the past three
months. He effected a fusion Of dis
contented Republicans with the Demo-
crats, and in addition a Prohibition
candidate was in the field with good
~ following. But Senator Quay proved
too strong even for the combination,
and his triumph was complete and to
a wholly unexpected degree He had
recently indicated his purpose not to
be a candidate for reelection TO the
United States senate. In the first flush
of his victory, however, he has been
led to declare his intention to go to
the legislature Of his state once more,
as If for Endorsement of his virtuous
political course, and there appears to
be no doubt OF his return.
The politics OF Pennsylvania is pc
culiar. The power organized forty
years ago by Simon Cameron and de-
scending to his son. ]. Donald Cam
eron. has by him been transmitted to
Mr. Quay, whose resourceful qualities
as political leader seem to equal. If
rot surpass those Of the founder of the
Cameron dynasty himself. The ma
Jority Of the people OF that common
wealth are hidebound in their loyalty
10 the principles of a protective tariff
This pabulum has uniformly been serv-
ed 10 them by the Republican party.
and the disposition To cling to the the
DRY has descended from father to son
as sort of heritage. Anything in the
way or a disruption of the Republican
party is regarded there as almost
biasphemous. In their infatuation they
have seen certain OF their industries
deteriorate by reason of the develop
ment of other sections of the country.
They readily submit, however. to no.
litieal boss ship" and with a COM
piaceney unequaied by any other com
munity in the country
Mr. Wanamaker's campaign against
Mr.. Quay had for its object his own
election 10 the United States senate
His failure has been so conspicuously
pronounced that il IS doubtful if he
VIII renew the attack In the IegisIa-
ture. although Mr.. Quay pretends IN
believe that influences will be put in
operation there. and he has already
issued manifesto warning every one
or his preparedness TO discover and
overcome any concealed methods of
procedure on the part OF his opponent.
II Is not improbable. therefore. that a
struggle may take place at Harris
burg next winter, and. II 1t does. there
may be another chapter of political
scandal added to the many that have
gone before in the history of that pros
porous but ring-ridden commonwealth

Bounties to Heroes.

From the Chicago News.
If public reports be correct. Admiral
schley's pecunlary return in bounty money
comes TO about S6125. His promotion t.
rear admiral from commodore carried him
over the heads of six officers OF the latter
grade. In ordinary course had the war not
taken place. he would have become a rear
admiral In 1901. and have retired in 0c-
tober in the same year. He therefore reach, g
his highest grade about two years and four
months earlier then he would have done and
gains in al about $1,000 difference in pay
TOTAL apparent returns TO Admiral Schley
therefore Ss.425.
1t has been estimated that the value OF
the prizes captured by Rear Admiral Samp-
sons feet is $3, 600 eco, Of this the command
er-in-chefs share would be one-twentieth. or
$3.50 O00. Assume that he nets bus half that
or $4,000 The bounty money for the San
tiago victory is estimated at s245 OoO. ard OF
this the admiral's share would be s12. $50
Ordinarily Admiral Sampson would not have
attained the rear admiral's grade before his
retirement for age which occurs in Febru-
airy. 1902. He thus gains about $3.50 in
crease OF pay while on the active list. ard
taking expectancy Of life at sixty-two to be
twelve years. 5000 while on the retired list
Total apparent returns to Admiral Samp-
son. therefore Se9 $50.
The bounty money allotted for the des.rue-
ton OF the Spanish aeet at Manila is $I7s. zoe
shout the value OF one torpedo boat and a
little more than half the amount we paid
for the Merrimae. which Hobson sank at
Santiago OF this Admiral Dewey's share is
ss.sze. He was promoted from commodore 10
rear admiral in May 1895 passing above but
two seniors. He would have reached the
same grade in September in ordinary ad-
vancement had there been no war. HIS
normal promotion was therefore anticipated
by only about FIVE months, and he gained
thereby about si0e. He retires for age on
Dec 26. 1889. Total apparent returns to Ad-
mlrsl Dewey. therefore s.. 32s
II needs no argument to show the absurd
inadequacy Of Admiral Dswey's recompense
In fact. this has already been officially reeog-
nized. and It IS announced that the grade Of
either admiral vice admiral Will be re-
yived for his benefit The pay OF the grade
OF admiral used 70 be $1,000 per year, and
therefore even assuming that the higher
rank be given with the old pay. the aggre-
gate amount which can be received by Ad-
miral Dewey during the remainder Of his
life is small.

are more Independent than others and
