AS Viewed at Washington.

~ HE WASHINGTON Star yes
terday printed the follow
Il. ing editorial in reference to
Charles Emory Smith in
connection with the presidential
nomination:
still another suggestion going TO
show how admirable the field is from
which the Republicans may choose
their candidate for vice-president is
that of Postmaster General Smith for
second place with Mr.. Mckinley. The
suggestion is not new, the Star having
had the pleasure of making it several
month ago, but with the approach of
convention day it comes up afresh, and
in many quarters it is the theme for
compliment and approval.
Charles Emory Smith richly deserves
the applause which this mention of his
name is calling out. He is a brilliant
and exceptionally able man. He ranks
with the foremost journalists of the
English -speaking world. He has filled
diplomatic post of importance and
difficulty with much success, and he is
now filling an office which demands
even higher order of capacity. He
is moreover, a valued and valuable ad-
visor Of the president on questions In
general So that as a writer, speaker,
diplomat, and executive he has shown
qualities which have entitled him to
distinction. and by the exercise of
which he has achieved distinction.
1T is superfluous to say that Mr..
Smith is a staunch Republican, and is
in thorough sympathy with the admin
istration of which he is so worthy and
conspicuous a member. He has health
and energy and aggressiveness, and as
his party's candidate for the second
highest office under the government he
would make a canvass from which his
party would derive very great benefit.
The presidential nomination at
Philadelphia will be, and should be,
made with care. The president de-
serves, and the good of the party re-
quires, that he be associated with a
strong man for second place. 1t is no
time for complimenting men, or for
taking an unknown and undeveloped
man on trust. 1t is true that in the
case of General Arthur the Republicans
did that very thing and drew a prize.
But the point then was TO conciliate
Mr.. Conkling, who was threatening to
sulk, and whose loss to the party would
be very great. There is nobody of Mr..
Conkling's force anywhere to be con-
cliated now, and so the party has only
to consider the matter in connection
with the general necessities of the
| hour"
A broad, national patriotic view Of
the question. We earnestly commend
it to the Harrisburg convention.

The 0uay Case.

v HAS BEEN well said that in
genious minds can find album
4 dant constitutional grounds for
any policy which can be pro-
posed The case upon which the SEN
ate has agreed to vote this afternoon
at 4 o'clock has been ably and eX-
haustively argued on both sides from
constitutional standpoints, with the
result that so far as its constitutional
aspects are concerned there is as wide
a divergence of opinion as ever. Where
doctors disagree it would be useless
for laymcn To argue. We therefore
waive this phase of the subject.
Frankly recognizing the public's in
ability to agree on the constitutional
points involved, perhaps there is hope
for a nearer approach to unanimity
with respect to the common sense of
the matter In this hope let us recol-
leCt the facts. The campaign of 1898
in Pennsylvania, in which Stone ran
for governor against jerks, Democrat,
and Swallow, Prohlbitionist, was es-
sentially a fight between the Quay and
the anti-Quay elements of the Repub-
lican party for control of the party
organization. In connection with the
governorship a Legislature was elected,
and III those legislative districts where
the anti-Quay men We're beaten at the
primaries fusion with the Democrats
against the regular Republican NOM
inees was attempted, and the fight
throughout was of a guerilla character,
tor extinguish Quay from the party
leadership.
Stone won and the regulars elected
a large majority of the Republican
membership in the Legislature, but not
a majority of all the members on Joint
ballot. In pursuance of custom a
party caucus was held, which was at
tended by more than two-thirds of
the Republican members of the gem
eral assembly; and at this caucus SEN
ator Quay was nominated as the party
candidate for senator to succeed him
self. The detection OF a bakers dozen
of members claiming TO be Repubi-
cans but refusing to abide the decision
OF the Republican caucus threw the
legislature into a deadlock which con-
tinued unbroken until adjournment
Following the adjournment the caucus
nominee was appointed by the COVER
nor. Collateral with this deadlock was
a manufactured prosecution of Colonel
Quay in the courts of Philadelphia for
alleged conspiracy to misuse the pub
lie funds, a prosecution manifestly
political in origin and Inspiration and
so timed as to supply the boilers with
an excuse for their refusal to enter the

Republican caucus. This prosecution
resulted in an acquittal but accom-
plished the real purpose OF its authors
in serving as a pretext for the pre-
arranged deadlock.
The political question presented to
the senate, therefore, is whether a
state is to be deprived of represen-
tation by these means. The legisla-
ture OF Pennsylvania having adjourned
without fulfilling its duty In respect
to the election of a senator, a failure
due wholly to the factonal manipula-
tion Of a small fraction of its MEM
bershlp contrary to all established
party custom, must the majority yield
to this insurgent minority. the penalty
being a vacancy in the states repre-
sentation until another legislature can
be chosen by the people charged with
repairing the dereliction of It's prede-
cessor? Would not the giving by the
senate of assent to the minority's at
titude as revealed in this case result
in a multiplication of legislative dead
locks by sorehead minority intrigue
and threaten continuous reduction in
the membership of the senate?
The authors of the Harrisburg dead
lock profess to fear that Quay's ad-
mission by appointment would tempt
his friends to construct n deadlock of
their own in the next legislative ses-
sion: they perceive that their vicious
precedent invites retaliation in kind.
But if Quay's friends were again in
the majority, they would not need a
deadlock: and if, on the other hand.
they should be in a minority, the very
reason now urged for Quay's admis-
sion, namely, that he is the choice of
the majority Of his party, would then
be absent and a second appeal to the
senate could not be sustained.
The whole question in its practical
aspects hinges upon the right of a ma
jority in a political party to act for
the party and to have it's action in
dorsed. The credentials of Quay have
the Endorsement of a large majority
of the Republican members of the last
Legislature: they represent an impreg-
nable case for party regularity; and
on this basis we hope to see him ad-
mtted today as a rebuke to the ten
denCy Of minority intrigue to upset the
fundamental republican principle of
majority rule.

THE BADGE OF CHIVALRY.

A strenuous spirit born to thrall
OF toll;
A form rough-hewn, by labor chained
To sunlt fields cities crude
Turmoil;
An engines side, in ships deep hold,
Or loaded barge or minors cell;
In all the strife of all the world,
That falls since man prmeyal fell.
Erect he stands in all the lands
OF Garth
Upright Of SOUL though far the goal,
Though crude the giant chiseled form.
No mirth
Shall scorn or mock the homely mold,
For all the wealth and all the gold
The men OF earth have known or know
Had birth from those great knotted hands.
His sign and badge OF chivalry,
The hoe,
The scythe and reaping hook, the fail,
The cart and lowly humble beast;
The flow
OF running mill stream, hives Of bees,
Cathedrals built OF mighty logs,
And clearings barred OF tow'rng trees
Or smiling fens and fow'rng bogs.
And seen in bands of grdling steel,
Or smoke
From grimy foundries, tunncled hills;
In singing anchor, tapping sails,
The stroke
OF hammer, anyils ringing sweet;
In pictured story, carved form,
In masonry and paved street,
Or battles won and breasted storm.
Magician he! surprising powerl
His touch
Brings forth the rainbow hues OF God
From dull plain stones near Natures heart.
Can such
In truth be called "Monstrous thing"
"a "Brother to the oX3' Can sting
OF "Terror dumb" apply TO him
Whose soul is kin to "SeraphimY
lie may not reach the wondrous heights
OF lore,
Nor hear angelic deathless songs,
For they but follow where he goes
Before
And speed their way what'ere they will,
His patient spirit leads them still,
Through valleys where the south wind blows
Meath shining peaks eternal SHOWS.
For he who wields the lowly hoe.
Forsooth,
Is brother to the learned one
Who searches through the ages gone
For truth.
The duller light within his brain
May need but touch OF "Magic Chance"
To fling worldwide his humble name
On flying wings OF Circumstance.

he were to keep up the scale Of expen-
ditures for social and display purposes
to which the people of Cuba were ac-
customed during the Spanish regime.
ten times that amount would hardly
suffice. The other recipients of extra
allowances were General Ludlow, when
governor of Havana province, Major
Bliss, the collector of Cuban customs,
and Major Ladd who has been acting
as custodian of funds for the military
administration. The entire sum thus
allotted was only $4,000, or about
what wide-awake Spanish subordi-
nate would expect to steal in one year
II in a position to get his hands on
anything valuable.
whatever about the Latin race knows
how necessary 1t is to use expensive
forms and ceremonies in dealing with
them, and how sensitive they are to
remissness in social courtesies or at
tentions. General Wood ought to have
$50, 900 a year and 1t would be economy
in the long run to let him have it. The
same, in proportion, is true of his
subordinates. We are in for this trop-
ical business for better or worse and
must play the game according to
native requirements; we can not ex-
pect the Cubans to alter their natures
and recast all their traditions to fit
the parsimony Of the average Demo-
cratic congressman when he is criti-
cizing something that a Republican
administration has done.

Members of Legislative Body.

While a senator is primarily a representative
Of an organized political constituency, repre-
sCnting the government of sovereign state
and possessed with high executive functions, he
at the same time is a member of a legislative
body, and, as such, under broad Interpretation Of
the duties and functions Of member Of such a
body, represents after his entrance into this
senate not alone the state which has sent hun
here, but the people Of the United States; and
he has imposed upon mm the duty to represent
them conscientiously and faithfully; while The
people, also, have a right to look 20 him as
we'll as to their own representatives and have
an equal interest in having the senatorial posi-
tion filled. When contemplate the rdpidity
of our growth and the vast population which will
in the lifetime Of many of us occupy our domain,
the far-seeng statesman can not fail 10 realize
the importance of exercising every precauticn
calculated TO maintain unimpared all of the co.
ordinate branches of this government as estab'
lished by the constitution
1t is somewhat remarkable, as have already
stated, upon a study OF this question to develop
the fact that the progress Of Interpretation Of
this provision of the constitution regarding the
senate Of the United States has been continually
in the direction OF a carrying out of this para
mount purpose TO which / have referred, and
which must be obvious to all. Step by step this
progress has been met by the narrow, technical
and reaetionary spirit which has exhibited itself
in other branches of constitutional development
Every word in the two clauses above quoted
has been interpreted and even strained to carry
out this purpose against opposition Of this char.
acter. One OF the last points left for this reac.
tionary sentiment to contend over is this ques-
tion OF the validity Of executive appointments
As VIC proceed to interpret the meaning Of the
constitutional provisions relative TO the senate,
let US also consider how these words have been
interpreted with the paramount object in vie
of facilitating the election OF senators and pro-
noting the purpose OF maintaining the integrity
Of rhe senate. Two striking instances are found
in the very next words Of the clause.

on account Of physical conditions, again cope in

Renominate Grow.

"NHE RIGHT of any Republic
can in the commonwealth to
aspire to the office of con-
gresham at large-an Office
by Tie way. which will soon disappear
lis not to. be questioned; and if for
geographical reasons the delegates
from Philadelphia unite in the advo-
cacy of a Philadelphia candidate, we
see no reason why their action should
he criticised. The community which
does not ask for recognition in politics
seldom receives it; and our Philadel-
pha friends have long since overcome
any congcnital inclinations toward eX-
Cessive modesty.
But it needs to be understood that
the party at large cannot accept a
Philadelphia candidacy if it is to cause
the sacrifice Of that grand old man of
Pennsylvania Republicanism, Galusha
\. Grow. Mr.. Grow, it is true, hap
monwealth which is also to supply the
nominee for auditor general; but he
belongs to the commonwealth at large,
the sentiment which views in his cam
didacy a connecting link between the
birth and the manhood of the Repub-
lcan party is as firm in one portion
of the state as it is in another; in his
case all considerations of geography
can and should be dismissed.
1t is true that Galusha A. Grow rep
resents and is supported by no political
machine; that he is not in close touch
with the men who make politics a
business; that his only claim to con-
sideration is the memories that he rep
resents and the fidelity and ability of
his extraordinary public services. Yet
there is enough respect among the
people for this venerable father of Re
publicanism to make it very imprudent
for a younger generation of politicians
to try to thrust him aside.
