Editorial Comment.

The New York Sun explains Quay's
victory by saying that the vast com
mercial interests of Pennsylvania have
looked upon Mr. Quay as a safer and
more valuable representative to speak
for them in the Senate than any rival
who could have been put forward by the
opposition" Whatever we may say
about Quay's political methods there are
two things to his credit He proved a
mastery manager in the Harrison cam
paign, and he was great help to the
dairymen in the passage of the Grout
oleomargarine bill in the House.

The trouble in most monarchies Is
