The Trial of Senator QUAY.

When the case against Senator Quay,
Of Pennsylvania, and his son was CALL
ed yesterday in Philadelphia, the dis
trict attorney. to the surprise Of ev-
cry one, declared his unreadiness to
proceed. There appears to be some
thing mystical about the matter, and
an indisposition to explain.
1t does not matter much to the peo-
pie in general what those Of Pennsyl-
vania have against their senior sena-
tor which involves criminal prosecu-
ton. From a distance, however the
case looks like one of political perse-
cution, and such tactics can never find
much favor within the limits of this
republic.
Senator Quay is charged with GRIM
inal conduct In connection with the
failure several years ago Of a bank in
Philadelphia. 1t has proved a tragic
affair all around, bringing one official to
the penitentiary and another to sui
eide. Something was evidently wrong
there; but what 1t was the authorities
in Philadelphia were slow in their at
tempts to find out. And no really re-
srectable organized attempt was made
to find out until Senator Quay's term
was nearing the date of Its expiration.
Just now he Is a candidate for re-
election to the United States senate,
and simultaneously he is called upon
to meet the charges in criminal court.
The trial being set for yesterday, it
was expected to proceed. The break
ing down of the prosecution was a
surprise. 1t was supplemented by
insinuations of discoveries as to
jury-hXinS. BY which side, it Is
not stated. The proceedings seem cal
culated to attract sympathy to Sena-
tor Quay. Can it be that this is an
organized scheme with such an end
in view? But strange things happen
in Pennsylvania politics.

Yet he Is Individually a great man very
great man.
Il don't think So" retorted Croker

Treason to ones friends the gentleman
argued. I" is a frequent earmark OF great
ness. Some men couldn't be great if they
were true to their friends"
Well. that's not my notion of a great
man." observed Croker. 'tMy idea Of great
man Is one who is never dishonest who Is
never a coward who when he gives you his
hand, gives you his life and. come fair
weather Or foul, stays by his colors and wins
with his friends or loses, and dies with his
friends That's my idea of greatness"
Mr.. Croker will be in the next convention,
at the head Of his people. He will oppose
silver. He may or may not oppose Bryan.
But when the convention is at Its end rest
sure that whether 1t has declared for god
or silver or both: for Bryan or some newer
name, Tammany hall and Richard Croker will
support and sustain It's work There will
be no hesitation, no laxity no argument

made. Until that time Croker will doubt
less do as he's ever done-chart his own
course ON expansion, for tnstance-come to his
own conclusions Of finance He will in all
things stand for his region and his people
More could not be asked, and more would

Rev. j. A. FergusOn's Long Passionate and
some "Reminiscences Connected There
with.
On the 14th of February last, the Rev.
J. A. Ferguson, d. D., finished his thir-
tieth year of service as minister of the
Presbyterian Church at Hanover.
He is native of New York. He was
graduated from Hamilton College in
1866, and studied theology at Princeton
and Union Theological Seminaries, grad
uating from the latter in 1869.
Hanover church has been famous for
its long pastorates Jacob Green was pas
tor forty-four years; Aaron Condit, thir
ty-fve years; John M. johnson, nearly
twenty-one years, and the present incum-
bent is continuing the record. Such ex-
tended periods of service are largely due
to the character of the people, who are
affectionate and generous, and not in
clined to frequent change. When DIR.
Ferguson accepted the call of the church,
he was told by those in authority that
his predecessor might have continued as
pastor to the end of his days, if he had
chosen.
The church at Hanover dates back to
1918, and is therefore in it's 181st year.
The first building stood on the north
corner of the graveyard in Whippany,
nearly opposite the residence of the late
Williams Howell. At that time, Whip
pany and large region to the north and
east were known as East Hanover; Nor
ristown was West Hanover; and Madison
was South Hanover. The congregation
then attending this church covered the
territory now known as Hanover, Whip
pany. Parsippany, Morristown, Madison.

bership exceeded 500 The first child
was the First Presbyterian Church of
Morristown, which was organized short

First Presbyterian Church of Madison,
which went out in 1747; the third child
was the Presbyterian Church of Parsip-

Strength In Harmony.

To produce winning team in any
form of sport the first essential is har-
mony, says the New York Sun. If there
is dissension among the athletes, they
almost invariably face defeat If there
are dissension and utter lack of sym
pathy between athletes and their man
ayers, defeat becomes even more GER
tain. In baseball no better illustrations
of the essentials required in a success
full club are afforded than by the Bos-
ton and Baltimore clubs, particularly
the former, and it may be said at the
same time that the losing spirit and its
causes are shown in an equally strong
light by the New York and st. Louis
clubs The baseball developments of
the week bespeak poor future for
baseball in this city, and lovers of the
game will probably have to go to Brook
lyn to see their favorite sport. This is
q peculiar position for New York base
ball patrons to be in, but they now
seem to be thoroughly alive to the fact
that baseball club cannot be conduct
ed on policy Of hatred, revenge and
rowdyism without separating itself
from public support.
