The Senatorial Situation.

Ae the matter stands, Senator Quay
Is the regular Republican nominee for
United States senator, bearing the in
dorsement of a clear majority of the
Republican membership in the legis-
laturc but not having committed to
his support by caucus resolution a
majority of the whole membership of
the legislature. He is the regular
nominee; those who shall oppose him
on joint ballot will be the boilers.
They will challenge the principle that
a majority of the membership of a
given party is entitled to bind the
members Of that party; they will, for
the moment, cease to be Republicans
and viii become Independents.
a few of the 5S Republicans who, by
reason of illness. caution or conscience
were absent from Tueeday evenings S
caucus would not support Senator
Quay on Joint ballot if his caucus in
dorsement had been twice as large.
They are fanatics in their dislike of
quay and Ouayism but they do not
number more than dozen at most.
The remaining two-score or more. as
they affirm in their written eXplana-
tion, believe in party regularity un-
der normal conditions" and "the use
of the party caucus to determine party
policies and nominations: but decline
to enter n caucus controlled by Sena-
tor Quay which would bind them to
vote for him while indictments against
him might remain undecided The in
ference is that they would have no
objection to going along with the ma
jority for Quay if the litigation against
him were out of the way. The state
ment, it will be noted, does not say
that its signere will refuse to vote for
Quay on joint ballot. Some of them
will Some probably will not. On this
point and on the action of the Supreme
court with reference to the Quay APP
peal will largely depend the vote which
Quay will get on joint ballot-whether
it shall elect him Immediately or cause
deadlock.
Thus it will be seen that instead OF
being a decided victory for anybody In
particular Tuesdays caucus was fol
all practical purposes a draw. 1t gives
Quay the party majority, which had
been conceded to him anyway; and il
gives to his opponents an additiona
fortnight of grace in which to measure
their manipulative powers against
those of the so-called Quay machine
That Senator Quay, while under in
dictment for alleged criminal acts
could get the immediate direct sup
port in caucus of 9S Republicans Ou
of the 167 who are in the legislature
or a clear majority of %, is a fac
which does not indicate weakness, bu
on the contrary marvelous strength
These 9S Republicans staked theil
whole political future upon their be
lief in Quay's innocence of Crimina
purpose or intent; they went int
caucus in spite of herculean pressure
10 get them merely to defer action
for a few days, and voted there, mar
after man, for Quay, the indicted sus
pect of the bargain counter press.
Ii is doubtful if any other American
in public life could have commanded
such proof of political devotion; anC
it is impossible to believe that sucl
man can be sacrificed by the machin
ations of notorious enemies.

That Santiago Flare UP.

The misunderstanding which has
arisen in Santiago over the recent eX-
ecutve order requiring the customs
collections at that port and at all other
Cuban ports to be sent to a central
revenue depository in Havana pending
their redistribution among the prov
inces is prophetic of the many difficult
ties which American occupation of
Cuba will accomplish. As in this case
so in most cases will these difficulties
be due mainly to inadequate native
comprehension of American intent.
The citizens of Santiago oppose send
ing the revenue collections to Havana
because they say it would stop all in
ternal improvements, deprive 900
Cubans Of employment, turning them
into perilous charge on the commun-
ity and in other ways be a misfortune
so great that rather than submit they
would prefer to take up arms. This is
natural enough from the Santiago
standpoint. The natives of that city
have been accustomed to see the reve-
nue. collections sent from Santiago port
to Havana and there put into a strong
box and trans-shipped to Spain. None
Of the money, under Spanish rule, came
back again in payment Of local i'm
provements. Hence these Santiago
Cubans think We are going to steal
their revenues. as our predecessors did.
But they will discover, after a time,
that this Capitalization OF revenues is
a necessary feature Of the centraliza-
tion Of government; that while the
municipal revenues of Santiago city
are properly and exclusively a local
possession, the collections of the port
belong TO the island and must be en-
tered into the general fund from which
improvements throughout the island

are "a, be paid for under a well-defned
system. Each penny taken will be ac-
counted for. but no single port city
will be permitted to enrich itself from
port collections ct the expense of other
districts not having so convenient a
source of income.
It may he necessary 20 so slowly in
this matter; but the trend of progress
must bc in the direction Of teaching
the Cubans how to distinguish be-
tween local and federal rights.

The Wilkes Barre Record Almanac
for 1898 is one of the most complete OF
the inland publications. Greater care
than ever seems to have been taken in
compiling the current issue, which con-
tains much valuable information con-
cerning the city Of WillNes-Barre and
the enterprising towns of Luzerne
county. In addition to the usual mat
ter of statistical nature the book for
1899 contains an interesting record of
the war experiences of the Ninth regi-
ment, as well as n complete roll of
members in the service, which will
prove convenient for reference for
years to come.

Senator Perkins, of California, who
personally is opposed to expansion and
would prefer to vote against the peace
state for instructions. This is proper
step. In a representative government
the matured will of the majority should
prevail. Why don't Senators Hale and
Hoar follow this appropriate example?

An Accountable Decision.

The legislature has made a good be-
ginning in deciding 10 adjourn in less
than four months. In this time II
ought to be able to give intelligent con-
sderation to the necessary appropria-
tiou bills, put into effect the degree of
economy which revenue conditions inn
peratively demand and enact a fair
amount Of advisable general legisla-
tion.
There is need of ballot reform along
the lines recommended by Secretary
Martin and Governor Hastings; there
ought to be some kind of legislation
designed to lessen the intolerable tax
burdens growing out Of the hoggish-
ness of shark aldermen, constables and
justices of the peace; provision should
be made for the employment of con-
victs in wavs that will least compete
with free labor; a consolidation of tax
receiverships in third-class cities is de-
manded by strong considerations oi
public convenience and economy; and
numerous measures affecting particu-
lar interests are ready for presentation
some Of which will recommend them
selves to public favor. The enactment
of these measures will not, however
require prolonged time, for the mind
Of the people concerning them is al.
ready made up.
Heretofore a large part of the time
Of the Legislature has been consumed
by protitless and often scandalous par
tisan or tactional manoeuvering. This
may be attempted during the present
session but if so. it should be promptly
suppressed. There will be efficient
leadership in the present general as
sembly and the best thing the ranl
and file can do is to acquiesce in it:
suggestions. If this shall be done the
Legislature can adjourn on April 20
leaving behind it fine record of goot
work and very few scandals.

SCRANTON, JANUARY .. 1899.

The point raised by Colonel Watres
in an interview in another column
relative TO the duration in service Of
the so-called provisional guard is most
important. There would be manifest
injustice in putting the officers and
men of this fine organization TO the
trouble and expense which they have
incurred only to drop them after a few
months service. Undoubtedly when the
old regiments get back there Will. as
Colonel Watres says, be found means
to solve the problem without unfair
ness to either.

The Russian wooden cruiser Raj
boynik, Commander Kussovich, arrived
in port, forty-one days from Valpar-
also. last Saturday afternoon at
O'Clock. On entering the channel she
saluted the flag and an hour later the
Kakaako battery responded with twen-
ty-one guns, manned by a squad from
Battery |, Sixth United States Artil-
lery.
A boat was sent ashore to the Rus
sian Consulate, at Hackfeld 4 Co. s.
and a quantity of mail, which had been
accommodating for several months, was
taken of. The Razboynik was anch,

ance of her trip, sailing for Yokohama
and the Asiatic station of the Russian
squadron about June 18th.
The RaZboynik has been cruising
alCng the west coast of North and
South America. She is a small bark
rugged vessel and carries seventeen
guns and crew of 16S men. The fol
lowing are the officers:
Captain-J. Kussowich.

SPEED Is SHOWN.
Several Track Horses that are
Training On.

At the race track on Friday last.
Frank s and J II, after being galloped
a couple Of miles, worked a quarter In
25ls seconds. Antidote, Seabreeze,
Royalist and Sympathetics Last were
all on the track, but were not opened
out. Amarino went mile and quar-
ter in 2:23k. Under the eye Of Dur
fee, who is now called the Missionary
Driver, Gartaline and Venus, Col
Cornwells runners, were sent a mil"
in 1:5O-a very pretty workout.
Saturday morning Gibson was the
first trainer to appear. He told the
boy to let Sympathetic's Last out a
little, and three-quarters of mile was
shown in :22k. McAuliffe sent Sea-
breeze pretty half. Antidote turned
mile handily in lao. Royalst and
Red Pike travelled together at a fair
clip couple Of miles, and being warm
ed up were given the word for three
quarters. Royalist finished several
length to the good In 1:19. Bobolink
, was held in for three miles and then
broke away for a run of three-quar-
ters. The time caught was 1:23, and
| the horse pulled up sound and with
his bellows all right. The treat OF the
day was another smash of the record
this time by Fred Button, the Ouder-
| Ii rly No. ha
ribbons. For sharp exercise Button
was given three miles. The first was
| in 2:35. For the last McManus made
up his mind to see what the green boy
could do. Button footed around like
the worthy son of noble sire, and the
wise division OF the spectators has
chills. The time was 2:13A, without a
skip or break or the CAD, and Fred
Button was on the spot voted the phc-
nom OF the year. Irish Lassie appears
to be in very good form. She turned
a mile handily in 2:16h. Quinn ap-
peared with Violin, and sent her two
miles in 2:22 and 2:14k-excellent
and pleasing indeed to Prince Cupid
the new owner of the handsome bay
mare. Telephone was new number.
with Charles David as handler. This
animal seems to be rounding into her
old form again.
1t has been decided by the executive
committee Of the Jockey Club that
there will be races on Saturday, June
10th, and Monday, June 18th.

SHARE PARTITION
HAS BEEN MADE.
Delivery OF McBryde Co. Certifi-
Gates at II u. M.
(From Mondays Daily.)

Mr.. Dillingham; will be ready tomor-
row morning to start in on the fota-
ton OF another railway or plantation.
His work as promoter of Wahiawa, or
the McBryde Sugar Company, will be
completed by this evening. The APP
portionment of stock has been made
and the certificates will be issued to-
day. beginning at IL a. m. This is the
record here for a flotation. Applica-
tons for the shares were received on
Friday and Saturday OF last week. Sat
urday night and yesterday the allot-
ments were decided upon. What these
may be can only be guessed at until II
o'clock today. Last evening Mr.. Dill
bingham, the promoter, and Mr.. Kin
ney, of the company, declined pos
itively to say what the pro rata
would be. Both said that under no cir
cumstances would figures be made pub
lie before the special Office hour of to-
day. 1t is known that the total of ap-
plications for the stock to go to the
general public" is much more than
the entire capitalization of the COM
pany. Those who signed their names
and left checks may get a twentieth, a
tenth, a fifth, third or half. They will
learn at II this morning. The only
breathing spell that Messrs. Paxton
and White had during Friday and Sat
urday was between and Saturday
afternoon. But they made up for the
rest of the lull by the rush between 4
and 8. Altogether more than GOO per-
sons called for shares. The amount OF
money received is something enor-
nous. Certified checks in five figures
were quite common. There were
scores of deposits in four figures. The
line was a steady one between the
opening hour and o'clock IN the af-
ternoon. There will be long line at
II this morning. Mr.. Dillrngha, n has
been the man of the hour. He s en-
titled to a vacation and proposes soon
to have one.
