The Scandal Exposed.

F'Or some time nulllDei Oi
 rnwspapers have been making niSs- .onio,,s allusions to a supposed scan dal'' in connection with Senator quay 9 sunnort of the omnibus bill. There mas been Il painful absence of partlculai9' 9' but a very ready acceptance or the ..+o+ament that there was q scaliua'
 o,,.bara That chief of all pharl- seas the New York Evening Post mas discovered the African in the woodplie' If has found somebody at Wasilins ion for it's authority, and 1t accoroinsiS ,,uooaads to comment upon the in iouity of which the great PennsyiVaiii' senator is guilty:
 we trust that Governor-elect nvpacker. of Pennsylvania will hasten +o explain away the latest paln1ul as nersions on Senator Quay. II IS IasN for which MT. Pennypacker alone we think is fitted, for he was the one WI" 8rst discovered in Quay a greater statesnanship than that of Wepster oi Clay Quay favors the admlssloh ol Ari1ona and New Mexico as states. lie so yearns to number these terrllol ie9 onong the federal sisterhoou ehat u anhears he wrote letter advising una dernocratic victories be arranged In aoch This was in order to atlract democratic votes to the statehoou ntoiect Quay's republican assoclates imposed the admission of these terri tories. but Quay stood firm as roch If caused comment, but what cared ne Now he IS to join with the democrats in minority report, for the committee has reported bill granting statehoou to Oklahoma alone. Solnepouy washington has suggested that quay had some other motive than lhi' founded upon his exalted statesman shin. Testimony before the senate committee has even been raked up H. dicattng that the value Of mine II Arizona owned by brother of Senator Penrose. of Pennsylvania would pt largely increased by the enactment o1 the omnibus statehood bill. with the unkindly inference that perhaps other great men in Pennsylvania have finger in the pie. These are the crue rumors which we trust MT. Penny hacker, Quay's official defender VII hasten to explain away
 Horrible! Senator Penrose's brother ;s,interested in the Commonwealth gold mines at Pearce. The gold taKei from these mines by Messrs. Barringer Penrose and Brockman would be wortl 4 great deal more per ounce unde statehood than it is worth under terri toriaI conditions, and to double tn value of the gold belonging 60 thes gentlemen, Senator Quay proposes t mass the omnibus bill, As citizens o the state of Arizona, these gentlemel will be able to sell their bullion to tn United States mint for a much bette price than is paid them now by Uncl sam because they ship their gold iron a territory Of course!
 Take the scandal as a whole, it the worst thing ever charged agalns Senator Quay. He and several othe senators have become convinced tha there is a grand future, commercially for the three territories. They hay friends who are growing wealthy i the work of building up new enter prises. Although it makes one shudde to admit the fact, it is even poSsibl that some of these senators have In vested money in some of these terri tories. Under these circumstances every ethical consideration require them to vote against the omnibus bil The support of the measure should b idge and other senators whose motive are above question.
 The coarse, unrefined people of Ar zoaa should be ashamed of themselve for having gold mines that attract tn investments of Pennsylvania capital ists. Commenting on the great 'scan dal," the Washington correspondent C the New York Tribune telegraphs hi paper:
 Some of the eastern republican who advocated the omnibus bill mak no concealment of their views that will be good thing commercially an financially, for the territories and fc eastern capital invested there. The say that the $10.OOO,OOO or s12,000,0O0 ( eastern money now in the territorie will be protected better under stat laws than under territorial laws. The say they acknowledge no reproach themselves in that view. The testimon taken before the senate committee 0 territories last summer shows thS large amounts of New York, Michiga, Indiana, Illinois and Pennsylvanl money is invested in these territorie and that it was not as safe under u territorial form of government as
 would be with statehood. It was al: shown that cn enormous amount capital was awaiting the passage of u
