OR ALMOST six years the
Republican party in Penn
Il sylvania has been rent in
twain by reason of a fac
tonal' quarrel prosecuted with uneX-
amplcd bitterness in every county. The
public's lack of confidence in the
Democracy has operated to prevent
Republican defeat in state and ma
tional elections in our commonwealth
in consequence of this internecine
strife, but it was pointed out by Colo
mel Quay on his recent campaign tour
and has for some time been foreseen
by others that the continuation of this
dissension must eventually bring up in
political disaster.
Throughout this fight of factions, our
sympathies have been with Mr. Quay.
He has been prosecuted and maigned
more than any other public man Of
this generation. The means employed
in the conspiracy to discredit and eX-
terminate him have in most instances
been shameful. Every resource of in
trigue and every eXpedient of false
representation that great wealth could
enlist in the warfare aginst him has
been tried to the uttermost and he
still remains the chosen leader of the
majority. BY overwhelming vote of
the Republican state convention he
was summoned to be a candidate for
the senatorship rendered vacant by
legislative deadlock; and regularity, no
less than fair play calls for his prompt
election by the legislature to convene
next Tuseday. We hope for and eX-
pect his election on the first joint
ballot. This result would constitute
both personal vindication called for
in the interest of justice and an in
dorsement of party regularity neces-
sary for the encouragement of future
instructions founded upon malicious
motive, and for the safeguarding of
party organization.
But should the joint ballot indicate
that this expectation is vain, there
would develop a situation calling for
very careful considerations 1t is clear
that this legislature must elect a sena-
tor. 1t is plain that he must be a
Republican, and a believer in regular
politics. And it is believed by many
that he should also be a man fitted to
conciliate and harmonize respectable
elements within the party which today
are in sharp antagonism. If Colonel
Quay, after fair test of strength,
fails of election and withdraws, asking
the caucus to substitute u successor,
shall the object be continued destruc-
tive war or an honorable peace?
William Connell's contingent candi-
dacy has for its platform the wise re-
mark of Ulysses S. Grant at the end
OF the greatest civil strife in history
Let us have peace"

Sir John Was Fattered.

KTANY PEOPLE otherwise we'll informed do
lV4 not recognize Sir John Lubbock, the emf
nent English scientist, in Lord Avcbury, the
title conferred upon him few years ago in
recognition of his eminent services. Not long
ago he was on visit to Paris and received
rare compliment, says London correspondent.
After attending the scientific congress, which
had brought him to Paris, he was presented to
Jules Clarctic, administrator Of the Comcdie
Franchise, and the busiest of Partisan chroni.
queurs, Lord Avcbury, as in duty bound, en-
patiatcd on the glory and beauty and joy Of
Paris and OF Paris life. Clarcte, delighted, alb.
sorbed the foreign savant's praise, and then, by
way of returning compliment, he said:
'Iour generous enthusiasm and your evident
delight in life make me think of your own Sir
Lubbock. Do you know him? Quel grand esprit,
Qucl noble cocur!'
For Claretie has an immense admiration for
English in gcsera and especially for Sir Johns
"Pleasures OF Life OF which lie wrote once
that it should he made sort of modern Bible
to teach youth to hope and work and be happy.
He had no idea that his admired "Sr Lubbock"
had become Lord Avebury.
As for the cnnobed author--we he beamed
with delight. 1t was an unexpected pleasure
that life had brought him that day.

n VIEW OF the representations
made in the recent annual re-
l.. port of Governor Barnes it is
difficult to see how opposition
can be justified to the early admis-
sion of Oklahoma to statehood. The
story of the swift development of this
fertile territory reads like a chapter
of romance.
By act of congress Oklahoma was
detached from Indian territory and
erected into separate territory Mt
high noon on April %, 1889. At that
hour it did not have single inhabl-
tant, II we except government officials,
rowing Indians, hunters. trappers AMI
a few "sooners" present in defiance of
law. Yet at 1 o'clock on that April
day the population was in excess of
$4,000, several towns had been laid out
and the beginnings of American civil
ization had been established. Today
the 3S,7l5 square miles comprehended
within its boundaries contain 400, 900
population, 30 per cent. OF whom are
American born. and the percentage Of
illiteracy is less than in Sb states and
territories.
Oklahoma is in the same latitude
as Tennessee and North Carolina, and
most of 1t in the same longitude as
central Kansas and Texas. The gem
eral face Of the country is rolling
srairie. Well watered and timbered.

Close Resemblance.

TIIE OTHER MORNING a gentleman with
white beard, closely cropped, and quite an
aldcrmanc girth, walked down Pennsylvania
avenue to the Capitol, says the Washington Post.
Near the corner OF Sixth street he stopped in
John Denham's cigar store and asked for a
plug OF the finest Gravely tobacco.
The tobacco dealer looked at his customer
Tor a minute. 'Dd any one ever tell you," he
asked, 'that you looked like cx'Prcsident Har.
rison?"
"Yes," was the reply 81 have heard it said
very often, DO you think there is resemb.
lanec?"
II should say so," answered Denham. ~
never saw General Harrison, but from his pic
lures, should say You were dead ringer for
him."
The purchaser OF the Gravely plug gave
little chuclle as II lie was intensely pleased,
and then went out of the shop, proceeding on
his way to the capitol. Denham went to the
door, and looked after him, Standing in the
doorway was Al Reed, the district agent Of
the Atlantic Coast line. SAL" said Denham,
"dd you see that man who was in here just
now?"
"Ycs," said Reed
~ told him." said Denham, that he looked
Just like eX-president Harrison"
'of course he did," exclaimed Reed. "That
was Harrison himself"

SCRANTON, DECEMBER 90, 1900.

The statement elsewhere concerning
the historic sanction OF the party eau
Gus and it's practical necessity as a
means of securing Conference of party
action and organization will repay
careful study. Even those who oppose
particular caucus for factional rea-
sons would themselves have to employ
the eXpedient of a caucus. whether de-
nominated as such or not, if called
unon to unite their forces for a specific
purpose. The right of the majority as
defined by orderly procedure to name
party candidates and outline party
polly is unquestonable. Those who
appear TO question this right now in
relation to the organization of the
Pennsylvania Legislature and the cleo
tion of q United States senator would
be the first to affirm it if they consti-
tuted majority instead of a minority.

though each town and city has some
manufacturing establishments. The
total number of manufacturing estab-
lishments in the territory aggregate
about 1I5, employing 1900 hands There
are, in addition, AZ flour mills, with an
aggregate daily capacity Of 5,s2b bar
rels of flour
There are 13 cities of the first class
in the territory, all we'll governed, with
police and fire protection, water works,
lights, excellent schools, and good side
walks and streets. There are about 100
wholesale houses in operation in these
cities. employing total of 900 hands;
115 business buildings and 4S6 resi-
dences are in course of erection, and
many public improvements in progress.
The press of Oklahoma is abreast of
the times There are 0 daily, 139

and quarterly publications. The af
fairs of most of the counties are we'll

In summarizing his arguments for
statehood Governor Barnes says: 1--WE
have larger population today than
either of the states of Delaware, Idaho,
Montana. Nevada, New Hampshire,
North Dakota. Utah, Vermont, or
Wyoming. We have, as now organized,
a larger area than any of the follow
ing-named states, viz: Connecticut,
Delaware, Indiana, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts,, New Hampshire, New
Jersey. Rhode Island, Vermont or
West Virginia. The assessed valuation
OF taxable property for 1900 is more
than one-half greater than the as
sessed valuation of either the states of
Wisconsin, Arkansas, Florida, Iowa,
Oregon, Minnesota, California or Kan
sas at the time of their admission. The
average population Of the twenty-five
states next admitted after the original
thirteen was 1880, the greatest popu-
lation of any one of them being $1,000,
while the present population of Okla
homa is 100000. The enumeration of
school children in the territory for 1899
was greater than the population of
twenty Of the states at the time Of
their admission into the Union.''
When it is considered that all this
marvellous development has come to
pass within a period OF twelve years
the record takes its place high among
the wonders of the expiring century.
