The Republican Revolt.

The Republican party in Penn
sylvauia is responsible for its lead
ership. The leadership has been SO
corrupt in the past and has become
so contemplate at present that it
breeds discomfort within the State
lines and invites derision without.
II would be a calumuy to impute to
three-ttths Of the voters who make
up the rank and file of the party
any active sympathy with the sell
hsh designs of the pirates and plum
derers i'll control of its organization.
Under srCh circumstances the ordl-
nary means of political houseclean-
ing and readjustment is to turn out
tine party i'll power aud try the
other party. But this is not easy
to do in Pennsylvania. There Is a
large preponderance of white voters
i'll Pennsylvania who prefer to take
the chances Of corrupt rule at the
hands OF the Republican party to
running the risk OF reform at the
hands of any other party. This
white preponderance is made fur
ther impregnable against any re.
formative assault by solid, uu-
assailable, unthinkiug support from
the army of 90, 900 black voters i'll
the State.
This is the political situation in
Pennsylvania to day, set down with
out malice, extenuation or exag-
geratiou. There is no hope for inn
provement unless it shall arise from
moral awakening within the ranks
of the great majority party. In the
division of the party lies the saliva.
ton OF the State. For this reason
the revolt led by ex-senator Finn,
Involving the control of the next
Legislature and the defeat of the
present corrupt leadership,is a most
welcome occurrence. Finn, him |
self, is not the issue. He has wise
ly chosen to make his fight under |
the banner of reform. not for the
destruction of his party, but for its |
redemption, and for the restoration |
of decent administration of the State |
affairs. The movement, concurrent !
as it is with the sitting of the State
Capitol fraud in the Courts and |
with industrial tumult and depres-
sion, cannot fail to become impress
i've. 1t ought to receive the hearty |
of all good citizens.
The Democrats OF the State, who |
are the saving remnant and solid !
nucleus about which all reform
movements necessarily must centre,
cannot look upon the prospect of |
disruption among their opponents
except with favoriug and expect
ant eyes. They have everything
to gain and nothing to lose. Even
II the battle between the Philadel-
phia and Pittsburg Machines were
nothing more than a falling out OF |
the rogues there would be a gain
for honesty. There may be here
and there trading post contingent
among the Democratic following
which might miss the crumb thrown
to them by Republican bosses, but
their deprivation is private grief.
No attention need be paid to their
outcry. The wolves of all parties
howl when there is actual or pros
pective hunger. PhiIa. Record.

WAR IMPROBABLE.

The sensational section of the French
press continues to dwell upon the prOba-
biIities Of clash between japan and
the UDited States. La Prssse, Of Paris,
yesterday published a long interview
with Jacques Each, the historian and
professor 10 The College OF France, who
declares his belief that conflict ia GER
tain, for the reason that Japan seeks
war he advises the American feet to
be on the walch for q sudden japanese
descent, and asks: ''Who knows il the
attack made by the Japanese on the
Russian ships at Ohemulpo will not be
repeated upon the American ships to-
morrow" M. Flsch advises Great
Britain and France to intervene and put
au end to the trouble beioreit is too late.
The Journal dss Debsts, more con-
servative paper prefsces long editorial
article with the remark that conflict lie
improbable.
The Echo de Paris yesterday printed an
intervieT emanatiug, it says, from an
"suthorizsd Japanese source" with the
object of showing that japan Is so alb
sorbed with the mainland of Asia that
war with America is impossible. "Tbe
entire attention of Japan" says the in
terview, sis occupied with China and
Korea, where developments are occur
ring which are giving Toxic the creates!
concern. China has just dismissed a
number of japanese instructors, who
have been replaced with Germans. The
Manchurian situation is full Of complica-
lions. China demands the immediate
integral application Of the treaty of
Portsmouth, which would deprive Japan
of the possibility of exercising an efica-
cious influence in Manchuris.
