QUAY'S RACE IS RUN.
PennsyIvaia Republican Boss Has Reached the End of His PO-
 litical Rope.

At dinner and reception recently adelphia by the State League of Repub- lican Clubs the senator announced in the course of his speech that he would retire from politics at the close of his present term. He said:
 My political race Is run. It is not to be understood that Gods sword Is drawn im- mediately against my life, nor that my seat in the senate is to be prematnrely vacated, but that, with the subscription of my of- ficial oath on the 18th of January my con- nection with the serious labors and respon- abilities of active politics ceased, except in so far as I may be committed to certain measures pending in the present legisla- ture.
 'I will never again be a candidate for nor accept any official position"
 The public service would have gained in decency and dignity and the state of Pennsylvania would have gained in prestige and influence in national af- fairs if MT. Quay had made this deci- sion many years ago. Such deter imitation would have commanded the hearty support and approval of ma- jority of the citizenship of the Key stone state. It would have received, also, the unqualified indorsement of very large and respectable portion of the republican party.
 But now that we have it from the lips of the Pennsylvania boss himself that his political race is run, it is in- teresting to look over the public rec ord that is soon to close for any evil dences of high-minded statesmanship or constructive legislative genius that might be suggestive or inspiring to the ambitious young men of the country. What public service has MT. Quay rem dered to the country in return for the pecuniary rewards he has reaped from politics?
 Careful and diligent scrutiny of his career from the time he entered folli-- tics in 1865 as member of the state legislature of Pennsylvania fails to re- veal any legislative idea or measure that may be traced to his authorship or that owes its enactment to his championship. AS secretary of the commonwealth, as recorder of Phila- delphia, as treasurer of the common wealth, he never instituted any con- spicuous state or municipal reforms: As United States senator he never par ticipated in any great debate or made a notable speech upon any issue of na- tional importance.
 The political race" which he now says is about to close extends over B years of public officeholding and party dictatorship. Its close will end the po- litical career of man who will be re- membered only as one of the most sa- gacious, interruptions and invincible party bosses that ever figured in our political history. - Chicago Record Herald (Rep).

HIS NERVE FAILED HIM.
Had Enough on Hand to Commit Murder, But Not Enough
 for Suicide.
DESPERATE LOVERS DEED IN CHICAGO.
Miss Edna Stokes, an Actress, Killed by Edward Forishay, Also of the Theatri- cal Persuasion, Who Intended to Com init Suicide, But Whose Nerve Failed Him.

Chicago, June 4.-Edward Forishay. of Kansas City, all actor and assistant manager of theatrical companies, last night shot and killed Miss Edna Stokes, an actress, whose home IS at Sedalia, Mo-, and with whom he was deeply in love. Forishay claims to have met Miss Stokes in St. Louis six years ago, when they were both play ing an engagement. The couple played ill different cities of the country until last fall when they came to Chicago and became members of the stock company playing at the Victoria the- ater.
 The couple had engaged in a des- perate quarrel three days ago, and Forishay is said to have beaten the actress badly, cutting her head in two places.
 Miss Stokes gave orders to the pro- prietor of the Vernon hotel, at which she was stopping, that Forishay should not be admitted to her pres ence, 1hd. although lie called there twice during the early part of the evening, he was compelled to leave by the attendants. Later he called, and the proprietor told hiIn that he could wait in the parlor, where Miss Stokes would see him. She came down from her room, and the couple talked for about ten minutes, when Forishay suddenly drew revolver and fired two shots, enc passing through the right lung and the other close to the heart. She died almost instantly.
 After killing the woman, Forishav ran from the building, and was close ly followed by James Helm and Will jam Kennedy, the porter of the hotel. After pursuing Forishay a short dis tance Helm overlook him, and, throw ing him to the sidewalk, held him un- til the arrival of the police.
 When taken to the police station Forishay said that he intended to kill himself, as he could not live without Miss Stokes love, but that his nerve failed him at the last moment.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS,

-Mr. Hannah may say 'pooh- pooh" and "tut-tut" and "d-d non- sense" and all that, but it is to be no- ticed that he has not turned Perry Heath out of the office of the national committee for suggesting him for president in 1904. - Gin cinnati En- quirer.
 The truth that country injures itself by shutting out or increasing the price of raw material is almost self evident, and it is equally clear that with higher-priced materials the only chance to reduce prices for competitive purposes must come through cuut44g wages.-Indianapol Sentinel.
 At Buffalo Senator Hanna was still testing about his nomination for the presidency. That is all right, if it goes no further, but the danger is he will become so fond of the joke that he will want to work it off in practical form on the American people as whole, and that would be situation entirely devoid of humor for quite a number of people.-Baltimor News.
 -Uncle Sam is in the position of the farmer with mortgage on his farm. the interest of which he is just able to pay Although he has the ap- pearance of prosperity, he is barely able to pay his interest and keep the machinery of his farm going. He works hard, but the profit of his labor goes to the man who clips the coupons. Europe is clipping Uncle Sans cou- pons.-St. Paul Globe.
 The development of free trade tendencies, continues in the republican party. In his transcontinentals speeches the president gave the cue, and all along the line it is echoed and with amplifcation. by the whilom protec- tionist newspapers. The manufactur- CTS are already growing restive, and this will account for the hedging of the president, who is the very voice of thu manufacturers. = Louisville Courier Journal.
 When Conkling and his cohorts planned for the third election of Grant to the presidency they did not pay high compliment to the intelligence of the American people. The talk Of third term for Mckinley is even less of Q compliment. Certainly what Grant could not accomplish would not be easy of accomplishment by Mckinley. If it has come to such pass that we must elect man to third term in order to sustain business or carry out defined policies, then:it is high time to change our form government.- Omaha World-Heraldl
