Another Quay Test.

~ BOUT two weeks hence the Penn
sylvania republicans will hold
state convention which will
have significance not chiefly because of
the ticket it will nominate. but rather
because of the declarations it will make
respecting Senator Quay.
AS every man who keeps track Of po-
litical affairs is aware. the recent fight
over Mr.. Quay in the Pennsylvania leg
slature resulted in a failure to elect
federal senator. The governor of the
state promptly appointed Mr.. Quay.
Then there was a general scurry to as
certain how senatorial opinion ran in
reference to the seating of Quay as the
sequel of this appointment
Montana, oregon and other states
We're cited as presidents which would
make the seating of Quay quite out of
the question. However, members of the
senate We're quoted, in instances. as
saying that the senate's precedents 60
for nothing, that, in fact, the senate
has no precedents that are significant
and that the naming of Quay by the
At the same time, 1t is evidently the
sentiment among the Quay people that
a seat in the senate thus obtained isn't
exactly the right thing. So that, in
anticipation of the state convention
soon to be held, Pennsylvania has been
a Quay battle-ground for the rival re-
publican factions. The forecasts are to
the effect that Quay will have prevail
ing weight in the convention, that the
delegates will censure the republicans
who stood against the boss and that the
influence thus set in motion will result
in an extraordinary session of the leg
| islature which will elect Quay. Every.
| where interest is thus awakened in the
| convention to be held a fortnight
hence.

Alleged Dreyfus Methods.

TT cannot be said that the proofs are
produced in support of the recent
attempt to make it appear that this
country's West Point military academy
furnishes a Dreyfus case. The story is
that a cadet whose name is Sigmund
8. Albert and who is a Jew, left the
academy soon after the end of his first
year and that in fact he was "drey-
flushed" The young mans home is al
Lancaster, Penn; he secured his ap-
pointment through Congressman Bro
sius. as the result Of the usual prelim-
mary examinations, in which Albert
took high rank.
The report is that in scores of ways
this cadet was made to feel that he
would not be countenanced by those
who were his fellow cadets. 1t is said
that he was subjected to physical in
dignities and that in every social way
1T was made painfully plain to him that
he simply would not be tolerated Pos
sible 1t is that this young man was not
in favor with the cadets. In thousand
ways, at West Point as in every college
or academy or school in the land, an
individual may display the traits that
make him disliked. A man does not
have to be a Hebrew to get very rough
handling at West Point; those who
rank as beginners, one and all, are sub
jected by upper classmen to a style of
treatment that lacks nothing of brutal
ity-the wonder is that the coarse ira
ditions at West Point are tolerated.
Frequently the attention of the author
tiles at Washington is called to them
but that is the end of it.
But it is a very serious question
whether any considerations of race or
creed enter into the case of young AL
bert. He has talked, and he conveys
not even an insinuation to that effect
His words are: IT have neither expIa-
nations or charges to make. l have
been at West Point fourteen months,
and in that time I found that I did not
like army life" Spite of this protest,
the talk in some of the eastern news
papers is that in fact the case of AL
bert is a matter of persecution; some
of these newspapers say that three
other Hebrews entered the academy at
the same time with Albert, that only
one Of them has remained and that all
of them were the victims of creed and
race prejudice. A New York cadet
named APPEL left West Point three
months ago; he was soon followed by

that we should come out of the war with
an easy won victory.
That makes me think of a man. said
the ex-senator, who used to live down here
in Macoupin county at Carlinviile. He
went down TO ST. Louis once, and when
he came back he was full of bad whisky
and fighting talk. He got off the train
at Carlinville depot and began to talk big.

cal RRYAN.s nEAsoNs.

The Charleston News and Courier thinks
the reason Col. Bryan wrote the rather
remarkaole letter 10 Mr.. Belmont. in re-
spouse t. the iatters invitation to be
guest of the Democratic club Of New York
on the occasion o. a dinner on the ami
versary Of The birthday Of Thomas Jeifer-
son. was that while he desires to be Pres
ident he wants to be elected by the votes
OF silverites only. The News and Courier
may be right in this view, but there are
very few who will not continue to believe
that Col Bryan would rather have the
votes of a few gold bugs than not to be
elected at all.
one reason why ne wrote the letter is
probably that he knew that he had moth
ing to gain from the friendship of either
Mr.. Belmont or Mr.. Croker or the Demo
cratic Club-that while the club might sup
port him if he should succeed in getting
the nomination. it would do it's utmost to
prevent him from being nominated. He
saw a chance to raise up a faction in the
Democratic party in New York that would
fight Tammany aud become strong enough
to control the convention which will nom
nate the delegates to the Democratic ma
tional convention. He determined to make
the most OF that chance. He has accepted
an invitation from another faction to be
a guest at its dinner in celebration of the
anniversary of Jefferson's birthday. and
he will no doubt make a speech in which
he will endeavor TO lessen the influence
of the faction which Mr. Belmont and Mr..
Croker lead
No, we do not think that Col. Bryan is
so welded to silver that he refused to at
tend the dinner of the Democratic Club
because some of its members did not vote
for him in 1896 If we are not mistaken,
in writing the letter to Mr. Belmont he
was playing politics, and at the same time
getting even" with Mr. Belmont, who
was rather ostentatious in his opposition
to him in 1896.
The letter TO Mr.. Belmont may hurt the
Democratic party little, but it viii not
hurt Col. Bryan's chances for getting the
nomination for President. The Democrats
in New York who are offended by the
letter would not have supported him I'M
der any circumstances, and they might
have prevented him from getting any sup
port whatever in New York. Now, If he
has any friends in New York they will
come to his assistance. They will antag-
onize Tammany and they may be success
full in electing a Bryan delegation from
New York to the national convention In
the West, the letter will do Col. Bryan a
great deal more good than harm. There
is feeling in that section that Tammany
is of no benefit to the Democratic party,
and the fact that he has openly attacked
that organization will increase his popu-
larity there. 1t is a question, therefore,
whether Col Bryan didn't believe that by
declining the invitation of the Democratic
Club and asserting that many of the
members of il were not Democrats ne
would increase his chances for getting the
presidential nomination of his party.
