THAT ANTI-QUAY FUND.

From the Philadelphia Record
The Scranton Tribune having stated
that
one of the boasts made by the organ
iZeis Of the anti-Quay campaign in the
forthcoming legislative primaries is that
they already have at command Il $500, 100
war fund
the statement was denounced by the
Philadelphia Press as Il lie. Thereupon
The Tribune retorted
Such boasts have been made. One was
made several weeks ago in the columns
of the Philadelphia Record.
And the Press rejoins:
The Scranton Tribune now acknowi-
edges that its statement was u lie, as
it only gives a local Democratic news
par er as authority for 1t, whereas 1t had
asserted the boast was made by the or
Ganizers of the anti-Quay movement
The Tribune was inaccurate in charac-
terizing as an anti-Quay boast an item
Of political intelligence printed in the
Record. What the Record stated in it's
news columns, November lG. was that a
considerable sum of money was said to
have been already subscribed by leading
anti-Quayites and that the fund to he
raised might reach half a million dollars.
The Press, in extensively contradicting
The Tribune, inferentially accuses the
Record. This cannot be permitted. What
the Record printed as a matter of current
political information was altogether true.

HUMAN NATURE STUDIES,
Root as an interviewer.

One of the chief peculiarities Of Elihu
Root, the secretary of war, is, says
the Saturday Evening Post, his ability
as listener. He listens without preju-
dice, which Is one of the rarest of all
gifts. To club member this gift Is
Indispensable if he wants to rise to
office and Mr.. Root has been president
at one time or another of almost every
club he belonged to. The growth Of
the war secretary has been slow. But
it has been sure. AS a lawyer he has
had the genius of industry, and early
in his professional life he learned the
value of preparing both sides of every
case he had. AS result he frequently
knew more about his adversary's case
than his adversary did himself. This
thoroughness gave him an enviable
standing at the bar. Long before he
was generally known he was made
United States attorney for the southern
district of New York. That was years
ago, and many laymen thought the
president was appointing an incompet-
ent man because he was comparative
ly unknown. but Mr.. Root public SER
vices demonstrated the wisdom of his
choice.
Not only has Mr.. Root a genius for
listening, but he rivals Ii Hung Chang
in his ability to interview an inter-
viewer. The other day a well-known
New York reporter was sent to Wash
ington to obtain the secretary's plans
for ending the Philippine insurrection
When he returned he was asked what
he had got.
"Got?' replied the reporter soulfully.
"Got nothing. The secretary saw me
all right, and | told him nearly all
know about the newspaper business.
and was just starting in to tell him
how to own your own house on $50 a
week when an assistant secretary
broke into to consult him about a mat
ter of business, and had to co.

Misplaced Confidence.

A newly married couple were honey

open one addressed to his wife

But, Philppa," he pretended to re-
monstrate, surely you are not going
to have any secrets from me now
that we are married."

'That letter Is hers. not mine. I shall
probably let you read it after I have,

is shown by the husband when he de-
mands to see his wife's letters"
This was unarswcrable, and the hus-
band sank back in his chair with
amused delight in his wife's perfect
unconsciousness of having said a good
thing.
Presently she added:

Phyllis wouldn't want you to know"
Then why are YOU going to tell

Nicaragua Canal Prospects.

bin could not go into effect until the

1t Is reported by observers at the
capital that the sentiment in favor Of
an early beginning of the canal has
captured the Philippines and involved
the United States in the strategic COM
mand of the North Pacific ocean, and
the news is plausible. Any man with
an average imagination can see that,

Saved the Captains Reputation.

"They tell a good story In the army
about Captain Pati'lo, the crack shot,"
said one of a party of late diners, ac-
cording to the New Orleans Times
Democrat. General Miles and a high
Washington official once visited a
western post where the captain was
stationed, and sent word that they
would like to see a little exhibition
of his skill. Fatillo happened to be
quite sick at the time. but he couldn't
very well refuse, and presently ap-
peared on the long-distance range.
'He blazed away, and an Irish SER
geant, who had been sent out to act
as marker, waved a small flag. What
does that mean" asked the distin-
guished visitor. 1T means I missed
the whole target said Patillo gloom

suit 4 don't know what's the mat

AT the third shot the distant figure
varied the wig-wagging and the as
sembled officers applauded. There
upon he fired 20 consecutive rounds
and each time the flag waved back the
news that he had pierced the inner
circle. 1t was a lhSrvelous record, an
unparalleled score: the distinguished
visitor was very gracious in his con-
gratulations.

hope to compete successfully will De
by means Of cheap ocean freights pre-
dicated upon a transisthmian canal.
Thus the east and south will press for
its construction, but not more so than
the western states, who. In their turn,
recognize in the canal a great stimu-
lus to intercontinental trade and a
possible means of securing western
fruit and grain exports to Europe.
The events of the past two years
have made the Nicaragua canal more
than ever an imperative necessity to
American growth and to American de-
fense. The day has passed when the
American people will pardon temporiz-
ing on this subject upon the part OF
congress.

anOtner cOluTln, tne IHlla-

November 16 last published
the report that Il large campaign fund
had been subscribed for use in the leg
islativc districts this year against
Quay. now asserts the truth of it's re-
port as printed on that date The
men whom 1t had in mind as the pro-
moters of that fund are the same men
heraldcd daily by the Press as desir-
ing to accomplish the publication Of
Pennsylvania Republican politics, by
eliminating the perniciOus use Of
money restoring power to the people,
demolishing bosssm, etc, etc.
For saying that the organizers Of
this fund were boasting Of it, The
Tribune was accused by the Press of
lying. We considered the Record ar
tcle boast and supposed from the
Records past cooperation with the
insurgents that it was an authorized
mouthpiece responsive to the Wana-
maker influence. This supposition
having proved erroneous and unfair
to the Record, we now gladly with
draw t.; but upon the main point that
a large fund intended for use in the
David Martin manner has been coll
lected by the insurgents we refer the
Press to the Records assertion. Let
the Press call the Record a liar If it
dare!
