CARTER'S BLAST FOR QUAY

Fran the Philadelphia Record.
Senator Carter, of Montana, does not
seem to have made very deep impress
sion upon his associates by his pathetic
appeal for the admission of Mr., Quay.
The Pennsylvania claimant did not strke
the Senators as Il strong lnaR strugglin
with adversely and bravely confronting
this malignant assaults OF his enemies.
When Carter was done the fact still re-
mained that Quay was repudiated by
the Legislature upon whom the Consti-
tuition devoive4 tile election Of Senator
and that the Legislature is still in ex-
istence. While the Montana statesman
was speaking there entered the Senate
the newly ciected Republican member
from California VINO was chosen under
methods precisely The reverse o( those
which are nav employed to give Qnay a
seat Il is evident that the Governor,
tIr Legislature and the Republicans uf
California have Totally different view
from that Of senator Carter az to consti-
tuti i)nal ielui ement in like cases.

CONSISTENCY.
From the Smyrna Call.

From the Smyrna Call.
Some weeks ago some Delaware gentle
men were pulling theft hair and bias
pheming fate because Mr.. Quay was
likely to be admitted. Today those same
people are said to be running over the
State with petitions in their hands for
the appointment of their choice for Sen
ator. That is, whilst they thought
Quay's acceptance would destroy the
constitution and make Indians of us,
they are vet the first in the field to make
that kind of hay. They remind us of a
dream we heard an old fellow once re-
late. He said himself and another man
were each On horseback riding under
whip to town ior prize. He was lead
ing mis- competitor right nicely and felt
himself a sure winner. But as they gal
loped at one point close to railway the
cars came along, the rear horseman with
the aid OF brakeman hooked his steed
to the reaY car and our dreamer was left
in cloud of dust behind. As he can
tered along alone, darning railroads and
political railroaders, he saw round a
curve ahead that the old horse at the
rear car had swung himself against u
mile post, stopped the train and was
hauling the procession back in the direc-
tion of his fodder. Our dreamer gal
loped by, lifted his hat to the conductor,
kissed his hand to the superintendent,
who wes in private car, and rode into
town.

Phones Being Taken Out Because of

Phones Being Taken Out Because of
Extra Ten Cents Charge.
By Special Dispatch to TIE SUM-
Smyrna, Del, March THE "hello"
system in lower Delaware, under the
management OF the Diamond State Tele-
phone Company, is proving anything
but satisfactory and many Smyrna peo-
pie are having the phones taken from
their residences and places of business.
According to new rule made by the
company and put into effect last Thurs
day there is an extra charge of ten cents
for talking with persons in other towns
and the Smyrna people are indignant.
The citizens, in order to get even with
the "'phone" company, want the 'city
fathers" to tax them for each and every
pole and wire within the town limits.
'Partiality is shown" is the cry, and
Dover patrons are not so charged. Per-
sons having telephones in their houses
can communicate with any nearby town
without extra charge. IL is said to be q
scheme to draw trade to Dover at the
expense OF other towns, Smyrna in
cluded.
There were only "Diamond" phones
in Smyrna and since the new rule seven
OF them have beeu taken out.
1--WE object to paying SIG a year for
the privilege of having an ornamental
box in our houses" is the general verdict
OF the former patrons.

QUAY AND THE SENATE.
From the Indianapolis News.

From the indianapolis News.
Quay, Notwithstanding all the mex
pressible things he stands for in Ameri-
can politics, has won his preliminary
fight in the Senate, and that body is
now considering his demand for a seat,
to the exclusion of more important mat
ters.
Long ago the Senate laid down the
precedent'that when State Legislature,
with full opportunity to act, neglects,
declines, or for any reason fails, to elect
a Senator, the vacancy thus left open
cannot be filled by a Governors appoint;
ment. The recognition of Quay would be
made conspicuous by overturning pre-
cedent.
Quay and Quay's political methods
are offensive to the moral sense of the
people. His unsavory political reputa
tion does not rest upon vaguely defined
rumors, but upon definite and unchal.
lenged evidence of wholesale and sys
tematic debauchery OF the franchise

LATE CONGRESSMAN HARMER

From the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin Of yes
teiday.
The late Representative lIarmer, of
this city was elected TO Congress not
fever than fourteen times. During the
long period OF service at Washington he
rarely appeared in debate. His gifts OF
public utterance we're limited, and he
was one of those Congressman whose
usefulness was confined chiefly to COM
mitlee work and to looking after the in.
dividual interests Of tneir constituents
In tfese respects he was genial, well-in-

recognition would be made conspicuous
as an insolent defiance of the moral sem
timent of the country.
(luay's party has heavy majority in
the Senate. The effort to seat him can
not be urged on the ground Of party ne
cessity. His recognition would Ee made
all the more conspicuous by the lack OF
justification from this point OF view
Why, then, is the result in doubt? We
take it that the vote of the Indiana
Senators TO take mp the case did not in.

But how do they intend to vote?

health began to press upon him be was
faithful to the people of his district, rep

on all occasions. An active politician in
his early days and business man. Mr..
Harmer had no snowy abilities, and yet
he served in the House for nearly thirty
years, having been elected in all of his
recent terms with overwhelming maiori-
ties. He was eeventy-four years old,
and had reached the distinction of being
"Father of the House," as had two OF
his former Philadelphia colleagues,
