Blackmaillnu the Bankers.

(From the Boston Herald Ind, Rep.)
The Pennsylvania Republicans have
been appealing to about 100 banks Of
the Keystone State for campaign con-
tributions to meet the expenses of the
election this fall The banks selected
for this touch" are those that have
been favored by deposits of the states
money. But is there not some limit
to the amount such banks can afford to
contribute for the sake of holding de-
posts of the public funds? II cam
paign contributions must be made each
year, and If banks holding public funds
must loan money to political bosses
whenever they desire It, we should sup
pose that the outgo might be greater
than the income. Presumably all the
banks will not pull together in this
matter. II they did they could refuse
to be bled for campaign contributions
or to grant loans to political bosses;
but there are those morally weak in
business as well as in politics. That
class will yield and share the profits
they make from holding the states
money with those who are of service
TO them in oht"i"in" tNia privilege.

While permitting the Bible to be
circulated in Turkey, the Turkish

that, at any rate, wherever the word
Macedonia occurs it should be chang
ed to the vilayet of Salonika and

have never been audited, although
the paper statements show a bal
ance of SO, 100000 annually. No
school appropriation in Pennsylva-
mia has ever been paid until long
overdue, and then only in heed of
the clamoring of the district
boards. Indeed. there is a grave
doubt that the $4,000, 900 is in the
state treasury, and it may be that
the state of Pennsylvania carries

lawed beyond redemption.
IL the state treasurer's accounts
are straight, why deny inspection to

every honest trustee demands, an
auditing of his accounts? why Sc
lect the most plant tool in the en-
ploy of the machine for this most
responsible post? If any business
man were contemplating the ap-

Upon his public record his ability
Is so contemplate that he has
never been admitted to the councils
of the Republican organization, his
disposition so plant that he served
that organization as a messenger
boy without inquiry as to the
rights or wrongs of the orders he
delivered, his record, persistently
adverse to every good measure, and
consistently favoring every corrupt
measure This man has made him
self impossible to the most narrow
partisan who holds a remnant OF
self-respect.
Supported Infamous Legislation.
He was an active supporter of
the infamous Publ bill, designed
to cripple law and order societies
in their war upon the degrading
forms of vice which menace our
great cities; he was supporter OF
the Ehrhardt bills which actually
proposed to protect the unthinkable
white slave dealers in Philadelphia
county. He supported the Susque-
hanna river grab; the Snyder water
works grab; all three of the Phila-
delphia ripper bills; the Grady

the county commissioners instead

Republican politicians for specula-

kins, the cashier, following in the
footsteps of Walters, blew out his
brains, and James McManes, presi-
dent, StOCkhOlder and politician,
made up a deficit of 100000 to
quiet a scandal; but in the dead
cashiers desk were found papers
which prove conclusively that
Quay and others had secured state
deposits to the bank in order that
they might be reloaned TO them

famous telegram, signed NJ. S.

And a letter was found from Ben
jamin j. Haywood, state treasurer,
showing that the plum tree had
been shaken; that he had placed an
additional 100000 of state funds
in the bank, and requesting the
loan of a similar amount to Rich
ard Quay, the son of the senator.
b. j. Haywood died suddenly a
few weeks before the time set for
his trial with Senator Quay upon

Pennsylvania how the senior sena-

in opposing the nomination of
Quay for state treasurer. asserted
It would take the lid from off the
treasury and expose secrets before
which Republicans would stand
dumb. The lid has never been lift

within its walls only the facile
tools of the Republican machine
