Why was not action promptly taken on
them? And who is behind the action that
now has been taken on them?
The republican leader OF the fight against
Quay is John Wanamaker. Seven years ago
the Keystone National Bank of Philadel-
phia closed ITS doors and very bad wreck
was announced. The president, Gideon
Harsh, was arrested on q criminal warrant.
He executed bond for his appearance in the
sum of twenty thousand dollars, with a
brother of Mr.. Wanamaker security, and
then fed. The forfeited bond was paid.
There was a large deposit Of public money
in that bank also and City Treasurer
Bardsey, who was responsible for its pres
ence there, was sent to the penitentiary.
John Wanamaker had done large busi-
ness with the bank. and was a witness in
the case when It's affairs were under ex
animation in court
After the arrest of Mr. Quay his colleague
in the Senate, Mr. Penrose, announced in
public that Marsh. who ever since his flight
had been fugitive from justice, was near
at hand and would shortly present himself.
This was accepted by the people of Penn
sylvania as a counter move against Mr..
Wanamaker. and Mr.. Wanamaker himself
accepted it as a challenge. He replied to it
by urging the return of Marsh, and pledg-
ing himself to do all in his power to help
secure from him the whole truth about the
failure Of the keystone Bank. Marsh re-
turned on Thursday after an absence in
hiding of seven years, and the old case is
to he reopened.
Did Senator Penrose know of Marsh's
whereabouts? And did anybody else? And,
if so, for how long before this Quay-Wana-
maker feud broke out? And what was their
duty good citizens? Marsh was fugi-
tive from Justice. warrant was out for
him. Why. if they knew, did they not re-
port his Whereabouts to the officers of the
law?
The fullest inquiry ought to be Instituted
into bo,h cases. The people of Pennsylvania
ought to know all the circumstances at
tending so unusual and dramatic an episode
in which the machinery of their courts is
involved

The Conference Goes On.

Spain has formally declined to grant the
American demand for the cession of the
entire Philippine group. This was expect
ed. She has not, however, broken off ne
gCtiations. This is WISE Dispatches from
Madrid indicate that Premier Sagasta real
lies that to withdraw from the Paris nego-
tiatiOns would involve serious consequences,
the end of which would be another peace
conference, with more demands by the
United States, even more severe than those
which Spain now rejects as excessive. So
the refusal leaves the matter open for fur
tker negotiations. The Paris conference
will in all probability continue in session,
with perhaps an occasional threat of with
drawal by Spain, until the peace treaty has
been framed in accordance with the require
ments of the victorious nation and has been
signed by the commissioners. 1t is note
worthy that these threats of a breach in
the negotiations come from private and not
from official sources The French newspa-
pers are mainly accountable for the growth
of the belief which marked the early part
of this week that Spain would not submit
to further discussion of the issues on the
basis of the absolute cession of the archi-
pelago. The commissioners from Madrid
evidently keep well within their own lines
ana 90 not permit themselves 10 compro-
mise their government by promising rash
acts of protest. 1t is, of course, absurd for
Spain to claim that the American demand
for the cession of all the Philippines is out
side the scope of the protocol under which
the Paris conference is acting. That docu-
ment, the full text of which is published
today specifically provides that all ques-
tions of the future disposition and control
of the islands should be left to this COM
mission.

Premier Dupuy'. Bold Move.

The new French ministry gives evidence
of a desire to clear the domestic atmosphere
and re-establish order and confidence in the
government by it's removal of Gen. Renou-
ard from the head of the general staff of
the army. Practically all of the troubles
involved in the Dreyfus case have been
traceable to the general staff. The Henry
forgery seems to have been inspired by
that body, and 1t has had full charge Of
the secret investigations which resulted in
the conviction of Dreyfus and In the de-
feat of subsequent efforts to secure re-
vision of his case In short, this general
staff formed a sort of close corporation,
where the schemes for increasing and main
tanning the army's prestige were Matched
and fostered. The general staff dictated
not only military affairs, but also civil and
diplomatic maneuvers as we'll Gen. Renou-
ard, it is stated in the dispatches, was
charged with having prevented access to
the documents in the Dreyfus case. For a
long time the power of the staff to defy the
civilian authorities of the government SEEM
ed supreme, and France was, in fact, a
military autocracy. Ministries came and
went and new legislatures were chosen, but
the general staff, by virtue of some mys-
terious power remained intact. M. Dupuy
seems disposed to attack this menace to
the republican institutions of France by re-
moving the head of the staff.

The Stars Campaign Service,

Readers of The Star have been kept un-
usually we'll Informed this year of the
progress of the political campaigns in the
various states. Today practically closes the
series of letters from special correspond
ents in the various centers of interest In
furtherance of its desire to spread before
the people of Washington the best possible
survey of the situation in each state this
paper early arranged with reliable writer's
who were in position to know the drift of
affairs and the undercurrents of campaign
ing and were able in consequence to present
a comprehensive and accurate summary of
the chances. Their letters have appeared
from time to time and have proved to be
especially instructive. In addition to this
service The Star has dispatched members
of It's own staff into some of the nearer
states, notably New York, Pennsylvania
Virginia and North Carolina, to secure at
first hand the latest Impressions of the
campaign and TO furnish the citizens of the
capital with conservative forecasts of the
results of Tuesdays balloting. Some OF
those staff correspondents are now in the
Held and will remain there until after cleo
ton. In this manner The Star readers
have been placed in touch with the states
Washington is exceptionally favorable
place for such a survey of the political
field, having no election distractions of its
own to blur the point of view or to distort
the vision. The correspondence by mail and
by wire will be continued up to the last
moment, summarizing the situation in Mon
days issue as far may be possible, ana
noting on Tuesday the progress of the bal
loting. The Star has. of course, made full
preparations for the receipt and display and
publication of the earliest possible election
returns from the most reliable sources and
the people of this city will be in full pos
session of the news Immediately after the
facts have been disclosed.

''Hurrah!" The cheering sounds aloft
Ger the assembled crowd
1t echoes in the distance soft
And nearer comes and loud
'Hurrah!" And from the trump of fame
Vibrating through the air,
Is poured no solitary name
All candidates are there.
But cheers, like more substantial things,
Are tickle as the wind.
Like songs the serenader sings,
New objects they will find.
The glee can't check some signing nor
frown that shades the brow
Whom will they be hurrahing for

The Man Who Does Not Vote.
From the Peoria Herald.


The men who make the greatest howl
over the misconduct of affairs where they
are misconducted are generally the very
ores who do not register and do not vote
They put the blame for their own criminal
neglect of business on other shoulders.
This Is human nature, but it is not Justice
and 1t is not good sense. The man who
does not vote criminally neglects to perform
a public duty.

From the Chicago Tribune.

Ihe fact that rhe customs receipts of the

BIB 494 for the corresponding month one

porters of the tariff of 1897 that it would
result In large increase of the revenue as
soon as the new law got fairly into opera
ton.

SCHOOL TRUSTEES MEET.

An enthusiastic and beneficial meet
ing of various school boards through
out the county, was held with Supt. S
j. Race at the court house commenc.
ing at 2 o'clock last Friday afternoon,
instead of Saturday afternoon, as
many seemed to think. About 20 dis
tricts we're represented at the meeting,
and on an average of two members
represented each district. Letters
from IL different boards were read
and we're to the effect that they re-
GREETED their inability to be present at
the nesting. Shutdown and Willow
Lake townships, each having three dis
tricts, had every district represented
The first question taken up was that
of school libraries, and as result OF
the discussion it was ascertained that
at the present time 81 districts in Red
wood county have excellent school
libraries, and that the pupils of those
districts were advanced from Is to &c
per cent, over the pupils in the dis
tricts where there are no libraries, the
minds of the pupils being more
capable of compromising advanced
subjects.
The heating and ventilation question
was next taken under consideration
Supt. Race had blackboard in the
court room, and on it was drawn a
common jacketed stoye for heating
purposes, and double fued chimney
for ventilation. The trustees mani
tested great interest in the subject,
and seemed to favor the fresh air
system that brings in air from under
the building.
The matter of lighting the school
room was discussed and it was gen.
orally agreed that the plain white
wall in a school room should be
condemned, owing to the same max
ing the light too strong. On the other
hand, light, buff shade was con-
sidered the best. The ventilation slat
blinds we're favored for window
curtains
The course of study for common
schools was considered and many of
the trustees present we're surprised to
think that unless the boards adopted
a course of study it was not in the
power of the teacher to force a par
ticular study on any pupil. Mr.. Race
recommended course based on eight
grades of work, prepared by the State
superintendent and 20 different county
superintendent year or more ago,
and the trustees present took notes on
the course with the view of recommend
ing it to their districts.
