The Exclusion of ,Ir. Quay.

The Senate yesterday by a vote of thirty
three to thirty-two. decided that the Hon.
Matthew s Quay was not entitled TO the
seat to which he had been appointed by
the Governor of Pennsylvania. The deci
sion is wise and just and will meet the
entire approval Of the country.
At time when little attention is being
paid to the mandates or prohibitions of the
Constitution. it is relief to find the SEN
ate true TO its ancient landmarks in even
one instance What is to be regretted is
that a proposition so obviously simple as
that involved in the case of Mr.. Quay,
should have given rise to the extended de-
bate it has occasioned. During the discus
sion not single reason has been offered
by any one OF the claimants champions
why the presidents of years should be set
aside in his favor That vigorous and per-
sistent effort has been made to reverse
them, at the cost of unconstitutional &C
ton, or something very near it, is due
entirely to the personal popularity of Mr..
Quay with his late colleagues; popularity
SO potent that a change of one vote would
have placed in the Chamber a gentleman
who. whatever may be his abilities or dis
tinction, is obviously not entitled to a seat
If the letter and spirit of our fundamental
law are to constitute the standard of
membership.
1t is a pity that the Senate could not
set itself right before the American people
by a less close margin. But that cannot
be helped, and We have only to express the
hope that the precedent set yesterday. re-
affirming former ones. will be regarded in
future as fixed and inexorabie. In that
event Legislatures and Governors will be
less apt than they have been to take liber-
ties with the right of representation in the
United States Senate.

significance has developed in the Presi-

leave here at O'Clock Thursday afternoon
on special on the Pennsylvania line 20
Pittsburg. where the private cars will be
attached to the regular train for Wash
ington.
Ovations to the Presidents party began
at daylight this morning. cheering crowds
greeting the train at every station, and
wherever the. train stopped the President
appeared on the rear platform and shook
hands with us many as the time would
permit. There was no organized demon
stration in Canton, but as soon as the train
appeared at the station a deafening volume
of cheers went up from "a mass of people
who had gathered on the platforms.
President and Mrs. Mckinley went
direct to the NJ. c. Barber home. where
they will be entertained by Mrs. Mckin-
ley's sister during their stay. Hundreds
OF old friends and neighbors called during
the day and evening. The President made
an early visit to his new home, which is
now in the hands of the workmen, and
later drove to the house with Mrs. MrKin-
ley for more thorough inspection. Then
they went to the cemetery to lay flowers
on the graves of their children and other
relatives.
The President also called at the Cove m
ment bIilding to see Judge Day and on his
tenants in his office and business block.
Washington kilograms kept him well ad-
vised on the affairs of state. and gave him
an early report on the Quay case. which
he received with evident interest, but
without comment.

Kentucky,s Mountain FusitiveS.

The law presumes every man to be in
nocent until he has been proven guilty.
That Is an excellent old maxim, the full
force and effect of which is somewhat de-
stroyed when an accused person acts as il
he were guilty by fleeing from justice. By
begging governors to hold him immune
from reqrisition, or by barricading himself
in moonshine mountains surrounded and
protected by bandits.
On this account we are pleased to hear it
asserted that Taylor. of Kentucky, on tire
advice of Ex-Governor Bradley and other
friends. has announced his intention to a.
turn to his native State and there face tie

an accessory to the murder of the late
Governor Goebel 1t is reported that Tay-
lor says he has such assurances of fair
treatment in Kentucky that he will not
need to put his admirer. Governor Roose-
welt. to the trouble of harboring him. 1t is,
perhaps. too early to congratulate Taylor on
his praiseworthy resolution. Even so great
a man as President Mckinley has been
known to change his mind, and why net
the much-wanted estray from the blue
It is Just possible that determination on
Tayior's part to place himself within TIE
jurisdiction of his State courts might not
involve a purpose to actually surrender TO
any one of them. Two of the companions
indicted with him are still in Kentucky,
and yet not in any apparent imminent dan
ger of arrest. They are well entrenched
in the mountains and declare that they will
never be taken alive. 1t is theoretically
possible for the civil authorities to get
them, but when conditions and not theo-
ries are up for consideration. it must lie
said that at least two regiments of sharp
shooters would be necessary for the pur-
pose. Governor Beckham thinks it would
be wise to send the troops. an opinion in
which the latter do not appear to concur,
since not single company has yet volun-
teered for the duty. Now. IL Taylor were
to join his devoted companions and follow
ers in the wiids, for some time to come he
would be equally as safe as he could be in
New York. and he would enjoy the adyan-
tage of not being burden and a political
nightmare to the ambitious Rough Rider
Thus far Taylor has not shown any public
eagerness to stand trial, a fact which will
be variously commented upon by those vino
believe in his innocence and those who
doubt it.

The fighting in northern Luzon has been
very severe during the past week. The re-

time he has been maintaining a line of gar
risons to prevent the consolidation OF the
Filipnos under General Tinio. north of the

has been wiped out of existence through
the ignorance vanity, and personal TN

fore delivering an order to a dismounted
lieutenant colonel. should be cashiered as
quickly as the ceremony could be per-
formed by the proper authority The man
with stars on his shoulders who knows no
better than to order colonel before an
examining board composed of junior Of
1cers ought to be deprived of those stars

District National Guard is an organization
which it is desirable for the Government to
foster and protect. To a large extent 1t
would take care OF itself If allowed a COM
petent and acceptable commander. At
present it is going to pieces for the want
of such a leader. The authority of the
War Department in the premises is su-
preme. II can remove George H. Harries
and place some real soldier-whether
regular, volunteer. or citizen-in his place.
This should be done at once; otherwise it
would be just as well to order the dis

this time is hardly more than nominal; it
would not make much difference if it were
given the coup de grace and put out of its
misery

CHIcAGo'S DEWEY DAY.


CHICAGO, April 24.-Because of Adj
miral Dewey's promise, made before he
left Manila. to accept at some future time
the hospitality of the Chicago Naval Re
serves, there has arisen a serious clash
in local preparations for the official recep-
ton of Dewey. 1t was on October l. 1885,
that the Naval Reserve Association of Chi
cago. now the Naval Veterans Associa-
ton, invited Admiral Dewey to be the
guest of the association in Chicago.
letter then received from the Admiral
practically accepted this invitation at any
future date when the Admiral should come
to the city
Relying on this, the naval veterans re-
Gently decided to hold tie ball on the night
of MAJ 4 next, at Ihs First Regiment
Armory at which time and place they
expected the Admiral to be present. Ac-
cordins to the statement of members OF
the veterans association the committee
of veterans went to the Dewey reception
committee and obtained permission to hold
the ball. being assured of the Admirafs
presence during the evening
The affair was considerably advertised
and tickets were sold at 81 a couple. the
proceeds to be used to build a clubhouse
for the Naval Veterans Association. Ow
ing to the low price of tickets and the
rumors that no bar would be established
in the armOry, the Dewey reception COM
mittee decided to stop the naval ball, or
at least to keep the Admiral away.
sharp letter to this effect was sent
yesterday TO the Naval Veterans Associa
ton. The letter has raised a great row
and the naval veterans were today up in
arms for their rights They said they
would appeal to Dewey and as the Naval
Veterans Association is composed OF
young men of good standing some OF whom
fought on the Oregon, Brooklyn, and other
ships of SIMPSONS squadron during the
war, it is likely to have great influence
with the Admiral. It is believed that the
solution of the trouble will be that the
ball will be improved as to its social fea-
lures and that tine Admiral will attend for
part of the evening.
Serious trouble. similar to the trouble
over the laying of the postoffice corner
stone at the recent fall festival. is threat
ened in connection with the building of the
Dewey Day grandstand. which union labor
has put under a ban before even a single
nail has been driven or plank placed in
position. Such was the open avowal of
Chairman Wilbur +. Behl, of the Building
Contractors Council. last night.
The actual work of constructing the
grandstand on the Federal lot at Dear
born Street and Jackson Boulevard will
begin tomorrow. with large force of nom
union carpenters, assisted by non union
helpers on account OF these the unions
are now opposed to the city's accepting
the grandstand for the Dewey celebration.
They summoned a meeting of leaders late
yesterday afternoon and the decision was
reached to use all possible endeavors to
get the Admiral TO boycott the stand il
the master carpenters continued to insist
on utilizing non union labor of any sort in
the work of erecting il.

Standardization at the Exposition.

Now that it has been positively decided
that the American exhibit at the Paris

viii probably be loud and more or les
strident protest from all the Sabbatarians

same sort of remarks that they did whe n
President Mckinley declined to make
state dinners opponents of the principles
of teetotalism, and there will be no more

When We are invited to the house OF a

not good manners to criticise the fashions
OF the house by word action. The fact
that We accept the invitation tacitly i'm
plies willingness TO countenance whatever
goes on there. But there are some PEG
pie who seem to think that they ought to
abuse their privilege as guests TO deliver
temperance lectures. preach their religion,
and otherwise bore those who think diIer-
entity.
Such conduct is especially offensive in
matters affecting the relations of two
countries of different traditions and social
customs II the American exhibit at the

of their own self-styled merits that thcy
have no care for the feelings of their
neighbors. It is things like these that
make the French and other Continental
nations so ready tp call the English pso-
pie hypocrites. They see a certain e!e-
ment in the ration, assuming great deyo-
ton to religious principles and forms, pro-
test loudly against the Continental Sun

come in contact with certain other ele-
ment which INDUCES in all sorts of in
EQUITIES, while the preachers do not make
half as much noise about them as they do
about what they call the breaking of the
Sabbath" Ii is good to look now and then
at these things as others regard them.
To an outsider Il would seem more i'm
portant that the English iaborer should
be restrained from whipping his wife than
