Senator Quty's Case.

The decision of the senate committee
on privileges and elections, to report adj
versely on the claim OF Senator Quay
to seat in the United States senate. Is
not surprising. In fact, Senator Quay
himself. virtually gave up any hope OF
being recognized as the appointee Of
Governor Stone some days ago.
There is absolutely no politics in the
questions at issue. however much poll
tics may have entered into the condi-
lions that left Pennsylvania without
representation in the senate at the
close OF the legislature which failed to
elect. The question is, has q COVER
nor a right to appoint man after the
legislature fails to elect under the cir
cumstances that prevailed In Pennsyl-
vania- The senate committee says he
has not by vote of to ., Senator
Burrows. of Michigan. voting with the
Democrats.
The same conditions prevailed In Dell
aware, where there was a similar situa-
ton, resulting from a faedonal nBht
within the ranks of the dominant par
ty. Another matter in the Pennsylva-
MIA case is that the state constitution
provides that the governor shan call an
extra session of the legislature 70 al
senatorial vacancies, Governor Stone
failed to do this, and took the responds
biilty upon himself Of appointing Quay.
In doing SO 1t is presumed that his OBJ
ject was to fulfill his political obllGa-
tons to Mr.. Quay. Having done that
he was, Of course, willing that the sem
ate should do the rest. Stone has paid
his political debts, but Quay has real
ICED nothing from the discharge Of the
obligation.

They DON'T Agree.


II Is strange how Colonel Bryan and
some Of his eminent friends do not
agree as to the free silver issue. Every
day or SO since Congressman sibley re-
nouneed his allegiance to the silver fad.
declaring st was dead beyond the pOssi-
bllIty OF termination other sheep in the
fold have jumped the fence. But this
does not seem to feaze Bryan.
Some days ago Congressman DAILY, Of
New Jersey. gave out the othelal an
nouncemsnt Of Bryan's proposed inva-
sion OF the east; that he would make
several speeches in which he proposed
to track the Octopus to its lair. and jab
his linguistic javelin into the trusts.
No mention of silver was made. Col.
Bryan, away down In Texas where he
was hunting tame panthers and prac-
ticlng ostrich riding with his friend ex-
Governor Hog. was seen by repor-
ter, and the omission Of silver as one
of the topics he would discuss in the
east was pointed out to him. He then
and there declared that ibis friend
Congressman DAILY must have been
INSTRUCTED. II shall, speak on three
things in my trip east, said Mr.. Bryan
trusts, Imperialism and silver" But
Mr.. Daily win not be put down that
way. when / said free silver was
dead, / meant It," he said; II can't help
what Mr.. Bryan may think about 1t. I
have always recognized him as the
leader Of the Democracy and the most.
available candidate for President; but
In doing so 1 cannot close my eyes to
the fact that free silver is in Its grave.
This fact was clearly demonstrated in
the vote on the currency bill. With
the majority OF my colleagues voted
against 1t, but the vote showed conclu-
slvely that there are many Democrats
who never will stand for free silver"
But, alas! That is not all, for here
comes ex-Congressman Josiah Patter-
son, of Tennessee, from the very bowels
Of the south, tho people whom Bryan
loves 80 well, who says:
From this time forward count me
among the hostlles. In plain English, I
shall never again support w. j. Bryan
or his spurious brand Of Democracy.
My last vote for him and what he rep
resents was cast in 1886. AT the same
time i recognize that his nomination
Is inevitable. Equally inevitable is his
defeat at the hands of William McKin-
ley. In the Democratic convention
Bryan will not have the shadow of OPP
position. but when election day comes
the number of ,sound-money Democrats
VIII be double the number who voted
for Mckinley in 1896 Never again will
I vote for Popullst masquerading as

A Cheerful outlook.

The president Of the Illinois Steel
Company says the record made by his
company for 1899 shows the largest
tonnage Of manufactured products in
the history Of the corporation. The
period marks the most phenomenal re-
vlval in the iron and steel industry
from the depths of depression from
which 1t suffered for BONE years past.
Prices have risen proportlonately fast,
and have been favorable to large
profits for the manufacturers. some-
thing they haven't enjoyed for a long
time. The employees. too, have reapsd
like benefits from the renewed activity
IN the business. Wages have been in
creased several times during the past
year, and when compared with corrcs-
pondlng tonnage output in former
years, are now at as high a figure as
they ever were in the history Of the In
dustry. Specifically, wages all along
the line are higher than they have been
for many years, and the average work.
man has more continuous employment.
Everything points to a continuance Of
high values for pig iron and finished
steel products. The volume OF business
already booked for 19OO-which means
actual sales-ls SO large as to suaran-
tee that there will be no dlm!nutlon in
values for an indefinite period. These
contracts for the years delivery also
guarantee the constant employment Of
our plants up to their full capacity.
They Indicate as great. II not greater,
volume OF consumption this year as
during the past one. and therefore the
employment OF all plants to their cx-
treme capacity. AS a matter OF fact,
the estimated product OF this year Is
practically sold out. This means that
there is continuous employment of
labor ahead in this special fieil OF in
dustry, and, moreover profitable labor.
President Burlington, in speaking Of
the export business In iron a,lI steel,
says 1t was limited in 1893 on account
of the enormous demands made by
home consumption. and he does not
think the conditions will undergo any
radical change this year
In spite OF this Limitation OF sup
ply" says the president of the Illinois
Steel Company. 1.-THE foreign demand
continues good. Several foreign gov
ernments are now In the American mar
kot seeking to place large orders for
railroad supplies They will probably
have difficulty in placing them. The
domestic trade is the most profitable,
and is taken care of first. The Indica-
lions for 1900 are that American rail-
road companies Will spend more for
construction and equipment than ever
before in q similar period. This win be
done in spite OF higher prices, as the
net earnings Of the companies viii per-
nit large expenditures for bettsrinents
and extensions. The construction Of
steel cars for railroad companies viii

ume Of business. The increasing adop-
ton Of steel cars on tho principal rail-
roads means 4 corresponding change 70

Whlte, SO boider OF more inFolent eon-
Spirncy was ever entered into BY q poll
deal party With q wicked and unlawful

IN the light Of these facts would the
United States senate recognize the sem
ators elected BY a legislature chosen

point,
IN criticizlng these suffrage laws the
Washington Post makes the very perth
nent observation that IL Louisiana can
di1franchlse practically the whole Re-
publican party through one unrighteous
exercise Of power, why cannot Penn
sylvania disfranchlse the Democratic

The attention of the Republicans in
Congress will. no doubt. be called to
the suffrage laws OF Louisiana, and
which are SOW operative in that state.
Both Of the United States senator's from
that state attacked the measure, and
have declared that the law under which

unconstitutional. As that legislature

themselves before the United States
senate with credentials from q body

point.
The constitutional objection to the
louisiana election laws lies in the fact
that they discriminate against the me-
gro and In favor Of the white. Il is
equally notorious. moreover. that this
discrimination was deliberately made
and for the ayowed purpose Of dlsfran-
chialng the negro because OF race, color,

M given Tor Ave years only:

In 1888 West Virginia was safely an
rhored in third place. and began trot-
ding doggedly at the heels Of Illinois
Tor the 5econd place Of honor. In 1888
his state outstripped Ohio In prOduc-
ton by over 100000 tons, the exact
figures being: West Virginia, 1s,7oO,ss9;
Ohio. 1l,6ls,ss7.
The contest between Illinois and West
Nlrrnia Is a hot one and, we have no
doubt when the figures are cast up for
1850 the Mountain state will be nesting
next to Pennsylvania, safe second in
che production of bltuminous coal. In
1SSs, Illinois, holding second place, pro-
duced 1881, 200 tons. with West Vlr-
Einia not quite 100000 behind her. The
preliminary estimate Of the Coal Trade
Journal for 1893 gives West Virginia a
production of 100000 tons and Illinois
100000. Taking It all in oil this is a
wonderful record. It may be some
time before West Virginia will pass
Pennsylvania, with an estimated pro-
duction for 1889 Of 100000 tons, but
she will ger there some day, Just as she
passed her in oil, and now ranks first
in the production of that huid.
Our coal production is now three
times what 1t was ten years ago. and
with new developments constantly be-
ing made, capital pouring into the state
and new railroads being constructed.

WeTt Virrinia's Great Record.

The coal Trade Journal, Of New York,
has an interesting review Of the pro-
duction Of Dituminous coal from 1899 to
The close of 1889. furnishing some In
ptructiye figures-at least so far as
west Virginia is concerned. Pennsyl-
yania. as a matter OF course, leads the
ilst. and will for some years to come,
but by the strides West Virginia has
made towards the top from 1853. when
she occupied sixth place. even the Key
stone states pre-eminenee in the flu
ture is in danger.
In 1869 five states surpassed West
Virginia in coal production in the fol-
lowing order: Pennsylvania, with 7,TsS.-
lS tons; Illinois, with 2,s24,1s3; Ohio,
2,ss7, 2s5; Maryland, 1854; Missouri.

easily passing Missouri, when her pro-
duetion was 1.Sn,sl7 tons, and being
right on the heels of Maryland, which
state produced 2,227, sA tons.
In ten more years she passed Mary
land like a top, taking fourth place.
and commenced chasing Ohio for third
place. The production of the four
states leading in 1883 were as follows;
Pennsylvania, Ss.l74OS9 tons; Illinois,

ripia. e,2s1, SIS. The race between Ohio
and west virginia for supremacy in
coal production was a very pretty one
