a DOUBTFUL MOVEMENT.

No slight public interest attaches at
this time to the result of the legislative
elections in Pennsylvania, in their effect
upon the political fortune of Matthew
Stanley Quay.
Seldom, il ever in our political history
has a struggle been waged for what is
generally regarded as working toward
the betterment Of public life on which
has been expended so little of public SYM
pathy as that carried on for some time
past against Mr.. Quay by John Wanna
maker and his friends. There has been
but little belief in it's sincerity. There
has been, on the other hand, deal of
doubt as to the practical result upon the
public life of the state even should the
Wanamaker movement succeed.
Pennsylvania is as nearly a submerged
state in all that relates to responsible
public sentiment as has been realized
throughout our entire history. It's prin-
cipal city is a seething, living center of
political corruption. 1t has been such
for a generation or longer. Republican
politicians there have all united in the
degradation of the community; and the
city, which is identified in the public
mind with the placid and altogether ex-
allied conceptions of life entertained by
the Quaker sect, stands out as publicly
tire land
Our God-fearing Republican friends
have wrought themselves from time to
time into spasms of outraged virtue over
the infqufties of Tammany Hall But
Tammany, even in the days of Tweed,
never left behind it filthier trail than
that which distinguishes the course of
Republican aseendency in Philadelphia
These conditions have, to be sure,
evoked a mild protest from time to time
from the more virtuous of the Republic
an brethren; but they have been none the
less surely perpetuated in the supposed
interest of the ascendency of the Repub-
liean party In state and national con-
Germs. Ex-senator Quay is no more re-
other man of large influence living in
that community. They have been to all
intents concurred in for years by those
who have lately distinguished themselves
him. They have had their birth and they
have been maintained in existence as an
incident in the reign of corruption and
official responsibility which has made
of the politics of Pennsylvania a kissing
and by-word for twenty years.
It is attributing to any one man, Quay
or any other a superhuman influence on
the currents of public life to credit him
with the main responsibility He is
corrupticnist but he is not one whit
worse than many of the men who have
shown their readiness to jump to the
side of Wanamaker and his crowd at the
first sign of success on their part.
Pennsylvania, to be just to itself, should
send Quay back to the senate. He is
worthy of the place he has held as the
chief representative of the state of Penn
sylvania in that body-quite as worthy
as any man who is likely to be chosen in
his stead. Figs are not gathered from
thistles any more in political life than in
fruit culture. Pennsylvania is but little
likely to overcome its Infamous escenden-
cy in political corruption among the
states of the Union by merely making
a scanegoat of Matt Ouav

rHE SOUTH AND THE CoAsT


The vote which was cast in favor of the
national administration in all the states
along the Pacific coast leaves no doubt
whatever of the favor with which the
expansion policy of that administration
is regarded in that section.
Practical results have ever appealed
to this people. In the South. as well as
on the coast, the popular feeling is
strong in favor of any policy which win
oren up additional markets for Ameri-
can products. The vote in the South
showed no serious falling off in the at
tachment of the masses for the national
Democratic party; but the sequel to
Tuesdays election is not unlikely to be
one which will show clearly that the
South is ready to break even with its
political traditions if need be in the
sustainment of the demand for additional
MAI kets for Southern productions.
Until the anti-slavery agitation had be-
come serious it is not to be forgotten that
there was little in the way of Southern
political solidarity. The South has ont
lived most of its old animosities The
negro question is being settled IN the
only way which the Southern people of
this or the next generation are ever like
ly to consider effective. New issues will
arise. New conditions are daily being
called into existence. No section of this
country has more or even as much IN
gain by the policy Of expansion of Amer
lean shipping as the South In the Orient
there is to be found a market for South
ern cotton products greater than has
ever been opened up to any American
product whatever.
The development of Southern cotton
manufacture is one of the striking cir
cumstances in the industrial life of the
past decade or two Situated as the
South is geographically, as we'll as in
dustrially. it will be surprising now that
the issue of expansion appears to have
been settled af3rmatively in favor of the
policy of the Republican party, If a COM
plete change does not come over South
ern public sentiment, so that policies
which have received the unwavering hos
tility of the South for the past seventy
years viii hereafter be regarded with a
decided approach to popular favor.
1t is not surprising that the Pacific
coast should have declared SO decisively

THEY HAVE THEIR WAY.


The action taken yesterday by the
board of county commissioners probably.
puts an end to all further controversy
regarding the construction Of a new
county jail. The public protest against
such line of conduct has not been
needed, while the result of Tuesdays
election seems to have been accepted
as warrant for the action taken
It is not to be denied that the election
of every Republican candidate for county
commissioner is in a sense a ratifica ton
of the project for which the members Of
the old board have stood out with such
wonderful persistence in face Of a hos
tile public sentiment Had the issue en-
tered into the campaign to any
visible extent there would be more
reason for making such claim.
But the Endorsement which has
been given by the voters to the
Republicans on that body who sought
reelection has been naturally utilized to
carry the scheme to contamination.
1t is pleasant to observe Mayor Smiths
refusal to lend his sanction to the scheme.
The need Of new building for iaiI and
other purposes is undoubted But the
need is not by any means so
pressing that it's supply could not
be delayed for some time to
come, at least until the tax paving
community We're in better shape to as
sumo such an obligation. But the mem
bers of the board who have urged this
project are now virtually beyond public
control or responsibility, and there is
no doubt that the scheme will be pushed
to contamination
There was reason to hope that the nlan
to combining the facilities for the munic-
ipal court and the central station with
the Jail in the same building would have
been carried out The suggestion origin
ated with the board itself But for some
reason, which is not easy to understand.
that feature of the undertaking has been
dropped out of sight altogether.
1t IS true that the present building is
an unsightly object. But the sightliness
or unsightliness Of a given struc
ture is not necessarily a final
consideration. The construction Of
a jail building, however charming it
may be in its architectural outlines, on
the present site will interfere with the
effect produced by the existing city build
ing and will materially detract from it's
significance as our leading public struc-
ture.
There is little left for those who have
opposed this project but to accept the re-
suit and congratulate themselves and the
community that the public funds were
not squandered in the purchase of a site
while the present ground remained avail
able, The day will surely come, and
sooner than many pretend now to believe.
when the community must get to the
plan advocated by the Globe of ar. ex-
tension of the present building, and when
the structure about to be erected will
have resolved itself into nothing more
than a collection of second hand bricks
and lumber.
