The Conservative, 1899-01-26

Instead of cursing all who have
worked, saved and accumulated wealth,
how would it do for some of the popu-

to, themselves, go to work, stop wasting

we now seek in Pennsylvania. Away
with the more adroit politician-the one
who can meet the cunning republican
boss on his own ground, and contest
with him at his own game. Send us his
polar opposite-the man whose contrasts
with the Quay type are widest, bright
est, clearest-one who is true where he
is false, lion where he is fox, mountain
where he is hummock. Surely our leg
islature can think of one such, even
though it's choice is confined to republi-
cans; and we can hardly expect this

Pennsylvania, notwithstanding the fiat

enemy. 1t is an easy device of the Quay
gamesters to hold the democratic minor
ity as firm as the caricatured democratic
mule, if they can, while they tire out
the opposition under their own flag into
finally uniting, if it may not be upon
their own adored chieftain, at least
upon some substitute who can be trusted
to represent their kind of politics. 10
foil that device, the broadest and NOR
ally soundest course is the one to follow
join with the best republicans to
choose the best republican for senator,
and prove to the watching common
wealth that democratic votes may con-
tribute to set new fashion in such cleo
tions, and give the Keystone state at last
a representation III the upper house of
whom none of her SONS need be ashamed.
If patriotism is not true enough and
foresight not keen enough among the
democrats representing our mighty state
to guide them to this wise and benefi-
cent course, the only hope for state and
nation is to form new party not tram
meled by the vices of the old, while
freely appropriating what is best in
each. 1 hope to call your attention
again to this subject, which is too vast
and momentous for the end of letter
already too long.

INTEGRITY.

Farquhar, of York Pennsylvania.

nothing, even in politics, that is not
identified with righteousness, can attain
a lasting success When we oppose i'm
perialism, protectionism, unsound cur
rency, or lavish public expenditure, it
ought to be because they are opposed to
the principles of fair dealing between
man and man, and the same motive
ought to penetrate every political view
we entertain and guide us i'll every po-
litical act On all points of national
policy our aim should be to apply a
higher and sounder morality, and SO en-
list under a standard which though
"crllshed to earth will rise again" We
must strive for right and fair dealing
not for the cause that is likely to sue
ceed tomorrow but for the cause that
is sure to succeed permanently. We
may well labor with minority for a
time, being secure of a majority here
after There has never been such OPP
portunity as now for the embodiment of
integrity in politics, and the very name
of sound money expresses the form of it
most needful to the time while symbol
izing all the rest. Our nature is spirit

our relations are to be carried out

self essentially material, calls OH the ut
most of our virtue in private relation or
in public.
But how stands the case with regard
to this fundamental question of public
morals-this most vitally important Of
political issues? The battle for honest
money has often been said to be already
won, and yet it is only partially won.
AS seriously as ever the cause needs the
most strenuous efforts of it's champions,
so long as the law continues to permit
any secretary of the treasury Gf sup

silver unit of value at his pleasure-so

continuance of that support by doing
anything to deserve it. They argue that
any positive effort in any direction is
bound to raise enemies, and it is policy
to make no such positive effort SO long
as they know that supporters will not be
converted into opponents by simply de-
clining such duty. Just that situation,
so delightful to the politician, the adj
ministration and it's party now occupy
to all appearance consenting that their
record of solid service for the cause that
won them victory and office shall re-
main blank. Yet the worst evils of
unbridled protectionism are trifing in
comparison with vitiated currency
which pollutes the very source of ma
tional honor and good faith. Imperial
ism is but superficial, while a rotten
money system corrupts country to the
core
Nor is the outlook less dismal when
we turn from nation to state in our re-
view of this triumphant party. No
where has it tirmer hold of power, or is
faith in it deeper seated, than in Penn
sylvania. And yet it is just here that
plurality of voters, reaching well into
six figures, has enthusiastically elevated
to the governors chair man best
known by his subserviency to an un-
scrupulous boss ; and just here that two
thirds of the republican Legislators,
borne OH by the same party current,
have now nominated that boss to fill
again the high position his vices dis
graced. Such an honor, to a man in the
"gates ajar" of the penitentiary, seems
like either grim Mephistophelean jest,
or the lowest abyss of all American pol
itics. 1t was our states capitol that so
lately resounded to the sycOphant praises
of this precious leader, where his biogra-
ply was luridly portrayed, where long
line of his ancestors was brought out to
endow him, each with his several gift,
where every favorite epithet of adula-
tion-" brilliant" ,"matchless" daring,
and hundred more were dropped upon
him like a shower of gold-and all
swept us like flood until we noted that
in this dazzling whirl of powers and vir
tues the orators had not included the
one plain "honest." Would they not
have spoken that word if they had
dared? Most assuredly. Knowing that
nothing can so win the fixed regard Of
the people as integrity, no charm would
they use so gladly if they could. Yet
now, like unhappy Cassim in the den of
forty thieves, they were without the one
vital password. This veritable paral-
ysis, which, whatever fools may be
painted solons or hypocrites saints, bars
his most servile follower from showing
knave as honest, here. seemed as
though God, present in even their dark
souls, was testifying his silent self and
