TEE vote against seating Senate

THE vote against seating senator
Quay, of Pennsylvania, by the Oni'eo
States Senate on Tuesday seems TO
have been q surprise to his, friends as
thew felt confident he would be seated,
even if it was by small msjority'
The question involved seems to have
been 8 constitutional one, but 1t Will
be difficult for his friends to convince
themselves that much of the oppoSi'
ton was not on personal grounds
The Virginia Senators were divided
on the questiOn-Senstor Daniel vol
ing in the affirmative and Senator
Martin voting in the negative
Pennsylvania Republicans think
they have not been treated we'll by the
Senate and claim they should have
: been given full representation by the
admission of Mr.. Quay, whose ap'
pointment, they claim, was legal IN
every particular. is intimated by
some persons that the Administrs'
ton was opposed to Mr.. Quay because
Senator Hanna was paired against
him and Mr.. Beyeridge, who OF late
ssems TO be the mouthpieee OF
the Administration, was absent
when the vote was taken. Yet, not
withstsnding this charge, the Penn
sylysnis Republican Convention
heartily endorsed the Administration
while it called upon Senator Quay to
announce his candidacy for the SEN
ate before the Legislature, therefore II
NAV be probable that the Admins
tratiou was neutral on the question,
which we must confess would be a
difficult thing to be on question OF
such importance.
The State Republican Convention
in their platform, after declaring their
firm belief in the legality of Mr..
Quay's appointment to the Senate by
Gov. Stone, and eulogizing him as a
party leader and faithful representa-
tive. declare that "a great wrong has
beeu done him, which the people will
right at the proper time, Snd'
therefore, we urge and in
sist that the Hon. Matthew Stanley
Quay shall be a candidate for fe'
election to the United States Senate
in which he has Sc long served the
people with such distinguished ability
and fidelity" His friends look Tor
his triumphant election by the Leg
islature.

THE news from famine'strIcken
India is really appalling, and what is
more distressing is the fact that the
famine has not reached its worst. In
speaking of the frightful condition of
the country. the Baltimore American
SAWS editorially: "The people are not
starving to death by hundreds or by
thousands, but by millions, and the
conditions are such that the famine
is scarcely we'll under way. 1t will
be months before the worst is reach
ed. No people, however remote they
may be from India, can stand idly by
while such a frightful calamity is in
full blast. Millions must die-more
millions, perhaps, than there are in
the whole Of the United States-but
the timely contributions Of money
and food will save very many who
would otherwise perish"
Some idea of the condition Of the
famine stricken people can be obtain
ed from the cuts on our first page to
day, which are faithful representa-
tons.

Ina recent issue of The FREE
LANCE we're published extracts from
an old edition of the Richmond En-
quirer. Among the extracts was one
relating to the burning of the Rich
mond Theatre, in which Governor
VIM. A. Smith lost his life. We be-
lieve the Governor was a native of
Essex county, and the only Execu
tive which that county, and most
likely that section, gave to the State.
In Judge Wright's portrait gal
lery of noted Essex citizens will soon
appear a portrait of Governor Smith,
the hsndiwork of MISS Gertrude
Kriete, of that county. Miss Kriete
has nearly completed the painting
and when done it will be presented
to the county through Judge Wright.

CAPT. LEON, the French engineer
who has had charge of the Beers
artillery and engineers, has just re-
turned to France. He criticises the
English officers in the Trsnsvsal and
declares that their incompetency as
commanders is astounding. he says
the Beers have never had over forty
thousand men under arms and, yet
thew have often beaten the English
commanders, with their large and
finely equipped armies.
Capt. Leon thinks that unless the
Beers win an important victory near
Bloemfontein they must be beaten in
the end, and, although Pretoria could
stand a long siege, because it still
possesses cannon and emplacements
for those temporarily Withdrawn, ne
believes the plan of the Beers is to
take refuge in the mountainous region
to the north, which is practically in
accessible, rather than to defend Pre-
toris at the risk Of heavy loss OF
life, and the exposure of the popula-
ton to the fire Of the British.

runs through the whole species, and that every
man. in proportion to his vigor is more or less act

Whether in the conduct Of our DRY GOODS

sire for gain, it is an acknowledged fact that our

best in values, best in cOmprehensiveness.
Hundreds and hundreds Of our regular GUS
