PENNSYIyANIA'S TEST,

To-day will probably come a SUI
preme test for the State of Pennsyl-
vania when the Legislature assemblies
and the parties align for the election
of a United States Senator to succeed
Quay.
1t remains to be seen if there,is still
virtue enough in the Republican party
of Pennsylvania to turn down this no
toriously unfit man-against whom
criminal proceedings are now pending
on the charge of Misrepresentation of
the funds of the State. The case
against him is clear, and beyond any
shadow of doubt, his lawyers only OBJ
ject being to shield him from punish
ment through the laws technicalities
1t is confessed by those best quail
fed to speak on the situation that the
only hope of defeating Quay for re-
election to the United States Senate is
to get sufficient number of Republic
can members to remain away from the
caucus.
1t is confessed if the regular method
of the caucus is pursued there will be
no doubt whatever of this mans
triumph over justice and decency, for
the great bulk-if not the entire mem
bership of the party in the Legislature
lis openly or tacitly pledged to
'stand by the old man"
What confession is involved in this
attitude of the boss-ruled law-making
body of the great State of Pennsyl-
vania-the second greatest State in
: the American Union. Nothing but a
revolution In the regular methods of
thu party greatly in the majority in
theState can prevent this man Quay

REFUSED TO QUALIFY.

Pottsville, Pa, January 2.-Benj.
Cummin, Jr., who was elected in No
for District Attorney of Schuykill
county by the largest majority on the
ticket, and who has been threatened
with law suit for ante-election pro-
misses of appointment to half a dozen
or more lawyers as deputies, to-day
declined to take the oath of Office and
the court Immediately appointed Guy
E. Farquhar to act as District Attor-
ney for the ensuing term.

being once more elevated to the high-
est Office in thu gift Of the Legislature,
although he already stands convicted
of practices that would cause his sum-
mary discharge and criminal prosecu-
ton were he an employee of any bank
or private business house in the State!
Is it in the eyes of the people of
Pennsylvania less important to con-
duct the business of the State on lines
of common honesty than to so conduct
the business of private citizens of the
State?
Is public Office no longer regarded
as trust in Pennsylvania? Is the
will of a corrupt, not to say criminal,
political boss superior to the law and
the decalogue? Apparently so in the
view of the majority of the citizens
who have just returned to the Legis-
lature majority known to be pledged
to support this man Quay.
Whether or not the great State
of Pennsylvania is to be saw
ed from the shame of elect
ing a man to the United States Senate
who may be compelled to serve term
in the penitentiary instead of in that
highest American law-making body,
will only depend on whether a suffi-
cient number of honest Republicans
can be found in the Legislature to risk
sacrificing their political future by
breaking over party lines and refus-
ing to enter the regular and time-hon-
ored party caucus! To such pass has
it come in the boss-ridden keystone
State that it can no longer purify it
self through regular and legitimate
channels, but must depend on the for
lorn hope of a revolution in the ma
jority party in the regular methods of
party procedure.
1t is situation that ought to bring
a blush to the cheek of every citizen of
Pennsylvania.

INAUGU RATED.
Governor Roosevelt Takes the Office
OF Governor to Which He Was
Elected.--Speeches by Black and
Himself.
Albany, January .. 1899.

NhAc'AAJ, ooAiuoI 1919.
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, the new
Neglected governor of New York, Off
clally took charge of his high office
to-day.
The ceremonies attending the inaug-
uration were of a very formal charac-
ter. The greatest interest centered up
on the inaugural address of the gov
ernor who took occasion to give an in
timation of the policy that would mark
his administration as chief executive.
Ex-Governor Blacks address was
very brief, closing as follows:
ITO all these citizens who place in
tegrity above personal advantage. there
will arise from this occasion a strong
encouragement and d most sanguine
hope. Although the State is now up
on the full tide of prosperity and MANY
full-grown evils have been killed and
many others wounded, yet there is
much left to be done, and the people
welcome to this high official post one
whose career has demonstrated his in
tegrity, his courage and his skill.
They have vested you with ample
power and they will exact great re-
suits; but if the qualities that have thus
far moved and supported you hereafter
keep you company, you will have moth
ing TO fear and the people nothing to
regret"
Replying, Colonel Roosevelt said in
part:
A very heavy responsibility rests
upon the Governor of New York State,
State of seven millions of inhabitants.

tries and with population singularly

ulatlon, so many whom have inter-
ests that seem e] tirely antagonistic.

sion that jeopardized the lives of 500 en-
ployes in the building.
He was taken to his home, where he
lies in a precarious condition, but with
prospects for his recovery.
