The QUAY Fight.

The Philadelphia Inquirer is receiving
well-deserved shower of bouquets from
the friends of fair play. 1t made a great
battle for right, justice and the unmask
ing Of hypocrisy and hate, and fully
merits public approval and applause
Lewisburg News.
Those Mugwumps who are saying that
Senator Qnay will not take his seat
through appointment by Governor Stone
will have to revise their guess. Almost
every Senator who happens into Wash
ington nowadays says that he expects to
vote to seat the man from Beaver and
this is not encouraging to the anti-Quay
people.-Harrisburg Telegraph.
No Constitution, either Federal or
State, contemplates that State shall be
deprived of any portion of its representa-
ton at Washington on account Of the
failure of the State Legislature to per-
form constitutional duty. The Legis-
lature Of Pennsylvania plainly violated
such an obligation. Justice demands
that there shall be some relief for the
people from the consequences, and it is
naturally found in such action as Gov
ernor Stone took with commendable
promptitude in appointing United States
Senator the nominee of the Republican
majority in the Legislature Pittsburg
Press.
1t ought to be apparent to even the
factionally blinded opponents of Senator
Quay by this time that they are not with
the people-the common people-for
which they presume to speak. Every
primary election emphasizes the fact that
the Beaver statesman is in touch with
those who make up the good citizens
of every community and that the hery
furnace of abuse and misrepresentation
has only cemented the strong bands
which bind him to the body Of the pco-
pie Those who are fighting Senator
Quay must realize some day that they have
been engaged in a man hunt that was
not creditable to them and which can
have but one result-the humiliation of
all concerned in it. 1t is fact that no
man in public life has ever done so much
for his friends as Matthew Stanley Quay
and it would be strange indeed if at this
time Of unjust attack they should desert
him. Senator Platt and other repre-
sentative Republicans in the higher branch
of Congress have shown that they appre-
ciate the worth of Senator Quay by de-
claring openly and with much earnest
ness that they will recognize the Gov
ernors right to appoint by their yotes.-

good politics to call an extra ses-
sion, not only because it would
shorten the Speakership contest,
but because it would give more
time to act on the financial bill,
which has been prepared by the
House caucus committee, and al
low it to get before the country
and be fully discussed and under
stood before the excitement of the
Presidential campaign begins. The
need of legislation for our new
possessions, especially Hawaii and
and Porto Rico, is also an argu-
ment for an extra session.
AS rule, Republican Repre-
sentatives resent the attempt,
which they say is being made by
outsiders, to make the Speakership
contest a sectional fight of the
West against the East, and present
indications are that the attempt
will fail, and that it will be solely
a contest of men in which section
alism will not be an important
factor

The State Treasury is no longer
a club in the hands of the Quay
haters. They have used it in past
campaigns for all it was worth.
They have lost their only amuni-
ton. Any honest man of ordinary
intelligence can run the State
Treasury, thanks to the law that a
Quay Legislature passed. Under
that law there is absolutely no OPP
portunity for manipulating State
funds. The public money is placed
in banks and the interest upon that
money is paid into the State Treas
ury. 1t is all very simple, indeed.
So there is really nothing for the
insurgents to fight about, and we
don't wonder that they are willing
TO take almost any candidate that
the other side suggests, only they
want to know the name of that
candidate in advance SO they can
be in at the start and give the i'm
preston that they are really win
ming a victory. Philadelphia In

The Folly of Faction.
Punxsutawney Spirit.

Punxsutawney Spirit.
There is something so supremely
silly and puerile in the idea of a
candidate for a county office, who
has nothing whatever to do with
the election of United States
Senator, running on a Quay or an
anti-Quay platform, that one can
scarcely conceive it possible. Think
of man trying to divide his party
on factional lines, and fighting his
campaign under the mean little
banner of prejudice, instead of
running on his own merits. When
we vote for a man for Sheriff,
Treasurer, Prothonotary, Register
and Recorder, Commissioner or
Auditor, we are supposed to do it
because we think the man is worthy
of it, and would make a capable
official. What has his opinion
about the merits or demerits of a
public man got to do with it? A
man who runs for the Legislature
when Senator Quay is a candidate
for reelection may properly state
who he intends to support III order
To 4hn oh To
press themselves intelligently. But
we care nothing for the opinions of
candidates for other offices on that
score. That is private matter,
and of no consequence to the public.
A man who will attempt to stir up
factional bitterness in his party
because he thinks it may rebound
to his personal benefit, is not en-
titled to any consideration from
any source. There was Il struggle
for liberty of conscience in religious
matters which lasted through many
terrible and bloody years. 1t is
over now, and the man who hates
his fellow on account of his religi-
Gus convictions is regarded as
properly belonging to the intellec-
tual boyhood of the human race.
Are we to become less tolerant in
politics than in religion? Shall
we substitute prejudice for prin-
ciple, and narrow-mindedness for
merit.

out of respect to both clubs, that EN-
porium L. c., will give them decent
burial and not burn them at the stake.
That is not according to our laws gov
erning our beloved organization.
Our club met in regular session last
night and the matter was reported to
the high mucky muck, and came near
causing trouble. Hanscomb wanted
to withdraw, but was finally persuaded
not to leave the club while good men,
bers were scarce. Geo. Decker and
Pap Blodget took first premium for
services rendered. Pap Berfield ar
rived and said that he had been plant
ing new kind of potatoes, that need
no washing nor peeling before cooking,
as they ground clean and without any
skin. He expects to monopolize the
potato market in the future. Harry
Decker reported that he was champion
rat catcher. Out of five, he caught
four in a steel trap, the fifth was a
sharp old chap. After fruitless efforts
he found the last rat in the garret of
his house. His ratship had procured a
pint bottle and crawled in, corking the
bottle tightly after him. Harry got
the last rat. w. II. Michaels told a

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent)
WASHINGTON, MAY Sth, 1S9!

WASHINGTON May Sth, 1899.
President Mckinley has gone to
the Virginia Hot Springs where he
and Mrs. Mckinley will remain for
about two weeks. He is not sick,
and, although the rest is taken by
order of his physician, it is more in
the nature of an eXemplification of
the adage AN ounce of preven-
ton is worth a pound of cure"
than because it is an absolute nee
essity at this time. He is run
down and has recently been a suf-
ferer from rheumatism. and it
seems an impossibility for a Presi-
dent to get any rest Washington.
In case there should be any urgent
necessity for his presence, he can
reach Washington in eight hours.
Before leaving, President McKin-
ley approved the report made by
the Military Court of Inquiry,
which will at once be made public.
There is no truth in the rumor
that Gen. Miles is either to be re-
moved from the command of the
Army or cOurt-martialed as a result
of the report,
Judging from the latest Philip
pine advices, the end is near,
and no surprise would be felt in
official circles should Aguinaldo's
formal surrender occur any day.
The rebels have acknowledged
themselves fought to a standstill,
and were it not for the efforts of
Aguinaldo and the other Filipino
leaders to secure promises that they
would be given positions under the
local government, similar to those
which have been given to Cuban
officers in Cuba, the surrender
would have taken place before now.
They will get no promises other
than the general one made by the
Philippine Commission, that pend
ing the final disposition of the
matter by Congress, the islands
would be given home rule to as
great an extent as might be found
consistent with American interests.
The semi-ofiicial announcement
that Admiral Dewey contemplates
an early return to the {. S., is
token to mean that he sees his
services will not be needed over
there much longer.
President Mckinley hasn't told
anybody that there would be an
extra session of Congress, simply
because he has not fully decided to
call one. He has talked the matter
over with prominent Republicans
and has intimated his belief that
circumstances will probably make
it wise to call Congress together in
advance of the regular session in
December, and has advised Sena-
tors and Representatives to make
their plans accordingly. This is as
far as the matter has gone. There
There may or may not be an extra
session, but the probabilities favor
one. There is lots of work ahead
Of Congress, and if there is no
extra session, the house cannot
hope to get down to business be-
fore the 1st of January, because
the new Speaker could not get the
Committees arranged before that
date. An extra session would en-
able all that to be done beforehand,
and would undoubtedly greatly ex-
pediate legislation Of all kinds.

TALKS ABOUT COPPER.
James A. Fleming Says Development
Is Slow in Arizona


James A. Fleming. who owns a control
ling interest in the Black Warrior Copper
Mine of Globe, Ariz, is a guest at the
Palace. Mr. Fleming, in speaking of the
opening up of copper mines in Arizona,
said:
THE development of copper mines in
Arizona is going on gradually but surely
Within the last five years there have
been but two new properties that have
gone into mines. Our company has been
three and a half years opening UP the
Black Warrior, and we are about to put
up plant to treat the ore, which runs
about 10 per cent copper. We have 1900
acres in claims. In about three months
we will be ready to handle 200 tons of ore
a day, which will average a yield of
twenty or thirty tons
Very few copper mines are being dis
covered at the present time. They were
nearly all uncovered when prospectors
first went over the country. Michigan is
the only State in which the metal is
found in its native form. In Wyoming
Montana, Utah and Arizona so-called
copper mines are really only iron mines
carrying copper. One great difficulty with
copper properties is that at the water
level combinations of alkal dissolve the
metal and carry it off. In this way only
the surface is copper-bearing, and conse-
Quently the metal is soon exhausted, al
though it may be found again at a greater
depth.
Zone of the reasons of the advance in
the price of copper, which jumped from
II TO Is cents in the last year, is that the
production has not increased much during
the last eight years and the supply is not
equal to the demand. l am inclined to
think, however, that the present price
will remain stationary, or at least have
very little fluctuation.
Some time ago 1t was thought that
aluminium would take the place of cop
per in wires for conducting electricity
but the idea has been abandoned since the
Pennsylvania Railroad inaugurated a
series of experiments to determine the
value of aluminium for the purpose. 1t
was found that aluminium wires after
having been in use six or eight months.
did not possess the conductivity of copper
by one-third. This discovery caused the
price of copper to advance 3 cents pound
in open market and proved concusively
the superior adaptability of copper for
conducting purposes.

No More Racing on
the Park Drives.
POLICE MOUNTED ON WHEELS
THE NEW ORDER WILL BE RIG

Big Crowds Enjoy the Day at the

Many hundred wheelmen trundled the
park roads yesterday but there was no
scorching. Captain Thompson proceeded
under the new order prohibiting wheeling
at greater speed than ten miles an hour.
Two of the regular park police uniformed
and mounted on wheels, patroled the
bicycle paths and drives, while other Of
ficerS on foot were stationed at various
points Many cyclers who exceeded the
speed permitted were overhauled and
warned not to repeat the offense and then
released, AS it was the first day the new
order was enforced, no arrests were made.
but on future dates offending wheelmen
must explain before the courts
Captain Thompson says the officers on
wheels did good work, and altogether the
first attempt to regulate the speed of the
army OF cyclers was a success
The crowd at the park was very large
No accidents occurred, but one OiDon-
nell, brother of 'Boogie,' was eniovine

O'Donneil was startled when he found

made many promises to remain awake if
given ms freedom. AS the shock of his
awakening had improved his condition, he
was released and continued on his drive.

5000 people passed through the gates dur
ing the day and enjoyed the various at
fractions. In the theater splendid vau-
deVille bill was on. Those who purchased
tickets for the first entertainment, which
lasted nearly an hour, were given return
checks, and without extra expense saw
the second performance. which was put
on with a complete change of bill The
comedy end of the entertainment was eX-
ceedingly good, and the Notwithstanding
animated pictures were run off for half
an hour. AT the conclusion of the show
Emil Markeberg made a balloon ascen-
sion. After reaching the dizzy height of
about half a mile he cut loose from the
balloon and descended with the parachute.
A big crowd also assembled at Sutro

which were both interesting and in some
instances exciting. The results of the
contests follow:
