TOO MANY ELECTIONS.
One Fights Barely Over Until Another Is On.

Commenting on our frequent
elections the Harrisburg Courier
says 1--WE believe at this stage of
the campaign most of our political
friends will agree with us that we
have too many elections. We
scarcely got through counting the
votes in November before We are
called upon to express ourselves
concerning this, that and the other
office to be voted for the coming
spring. 1t has got so that even the
weather has to take second place to
politics as a subject for conver-
sation. Now the city is in tumult
over nominations. A few weeks
hence it will be over the general
elections. Before we can catch our
breath after strenuous attempts to
save the country at the polls in
February, the county candidates
who are to be nominated in April
will begin to do business in the
promise-getting line, and from the
time those are named to the period
of the state conventions, thence on
to the national conventions in June
and the presidential in November,
we shall hear nothing but politics,
politics, politics. s."

maintain his commanding position
in tie party machine of which he
was the head. If he had been a
man of lofty impulses and high
ideals, he would have been cast
aside as other men of that type were
discarded. Quay was what he was
because if he had been anything
else he would have lost his power.
All things considered we are glad
that the statue is approaching COM
pletion. We are anxious to see
what will be done with it and who
will participate in the ceremonies
attending the erection and unveil-
ing. To the last day of his life
Quay was cherished by the leaders
of his party as model of political
sagacity and patriotism. AS he
emerged from the criminal court
with the odor of prison clinging
to his garments he was idolized by
men who pro'essed morality. Now
that he is dead they will probat ly
shun his effgy. But they can't
shake off the responsibility for his
iniquities. He was bad but pro-
badly mainly for the reason that
his friends required it of him.

5000 TraiSs StOp-3O,OOO Men Idle.
100000 Freight Cars, Needed Last Year,
Are Side Tracked Now-8,000
locomotives Idle.

Figures prepared for one of the
large railroad companies, says the
7'1bn1e, show that a week ago
there. were $40, 900 idle freight cars
in the United States and about
5000 locomotives which are laid up
because of the falling off in traffic.
AS there are 2,aco, 900 freight cars
in the country, this would show
that fourteen per cent. of all the
cars owned by railroads are stored
on side tracks waiting for loads.
Figuring the value of cars at 81, 900
each and OF locomotives at $4,000
each, the statement shows that the
railroads have $40, 900, 900 tied up
i'll rolling stock for which there is
no present use The great shortage
in rolling stock last year caused
large orders for cars to be placed
by railroads. AS late as last Octo-
Der the reported shortage was ST.
900 cars.
Estimating the average freight
train at forty cars, the 800, 900 cars
now idle would be equivalent to
5000 trains for handling each of
which four men are ordinarily re-
quired, so that it may be estimated
that more than thirty thousand men
have been laid off-,he New York
Central for example, since the be-
ginning Of this month, has laid off
enough to make saving of $25o.-
900 year, in addition to previous
cutting down Of its iorce-and many
others have been placed on short
time. But fixed charges of rail-
road must be met in dull times as
we'll as in active and maintenance
and other expenses must be provid-
ed for, aud in view Of all the facts
the management of many railroads
are understood to be discussing the
question of reducing wages, as a
disliked but necessary measure.

to acquiesce in the general pro-
visions of the Aldrich bill /row be.
fcre the Senate Finance Committee.
1t is understood that Senator
Bailey is the author of the bill, aud
that it differs from the Aldrich bill
in its provision for the issue of
United States notes instead of ma
tional bank notes in times of emer-
gency, and changes the rate of
interest TO be paid by the bank with
which the notes are deposited.
Both are to be issued against de-
posts of government. State, county,
and municipal bonds, although the
Aldrich bill also includes first mort
gage bonds of railroads. There are
some other variations in the pro-
posed substitute from the Aldrich
bill, but the foregoing is the princi-
pal difference between the two
measures. There is bare posi-
bility that the Democratic Senators
will hold caucus on the question
of supporting their substitute, so as
to secure the solid vote OF the
minority.

The Quay Statue.

The public has been informed,
through semi-official channels, re-.
Gently, that work on the Quay
statue is rapidly drawing toward a
finish. For more than two years
an eminent sculptor has been
plugging" away at the marble,
and photograph taken within a
week indicates most excellent re-
suits. The face and figure already
show a striking resemblance to the
"old man." and if present expecta-
tions are not disappointed, the
counterfeit presentment will
soon be ready to put in place. The
public has not been informed as to
the place. thus far. The act of
assembly designates the capitol
grounds but the promoters of the
enterprise are said to have different
notions on the subject.
Of course it doesn't matter much
where the effigy is placed. A statue
of Quay will represent Quayism as
much in one place as another. In
side or out it will stand as the en-
blem of corruption in public life.
Quay's career was long drawn
out orgie of political vice. He not
only practiced but taught and en-
couraged official immortality. But
that was the only way he could

Prohibitions Balance of Power.
From Leslie's Weekly.

From Leslie's Weekly.
The Prohibition national conven-
ton, which meets in Columbus in
the middle of July, will need to be
watched by the Republican and
Democratic politicians. AS poll
tical party the Prohibitionists have
had longer career than any other
three of the minor parties which
the United States has seen. In
1872 they put their first presi-
dental ticket in the field, and they
have had one in every presidential
campaign since then. The IS, 900
votes which their candidate, St.
John, polled in New York in 1884,
three-fourths of which were drawn
from the Republicans, defeated
Blaine and gave Cleveland the ro47
plurality in that decisive State
which made him President. St.
John aggregate vote in the country
at large was ISL, 900. Bidwell's.
2o4 900 votes in 1892 was the
largest poll ever made by the Pro.
hibitionists. Swallow, in 1904, re-
ceived 25S,ooo. The marvellous
expansion which they have made
since 1904 however, as shown by
the territory which they have put
on the dry list, makes it exceed
ingly probable that the ticket to be
nominated at Columbus will poll at
least I 900, 900 votes. AS already
mentioned, St. John defeated Blaine
for President twenty7four years
ago, and broke the spell of the Re-
publicans' imagined invincibility.
1t is easily possible that the Pro-
hibitionists may hold the balance
in 1908 in several States. and turn
the scale one way or the other in
the electoral college.

McHENRY ON FINANCES.

Congressman John G.. McHenry
of the Sixteenth Pennsylvania dis
trict, who is prominently identified
with the Grange bank interests in
Pennsylvania, is in favor of gov
ernment guarantee of bank depos-
it's. A bill which he has just Of
fered in the House provides for the
.evying of tax upon all banks
who participate in the movement
for the purpose of making good de-
positors' losses, and while the gov
ernment guarantees the return of
;lle depositors money, the govern
mt holds each bank liable for its
rata share, and thus the burden
any loss falls directly upon the
.enks and not upon the treasury of
lie United States. And though
undoubtedly Mr.. McHenry's plan
will meet with opposition, yet his
experience in banking affairs gives
him the right Of consideration. 1t
is his belief that with government
guarantee, surrounded with such
safeguards as are provided i'll his
bill, there will be such a large in
crease in circulation by drawing
money from its hiding places that
additional emergency currency will
not be needed. But, as he says, no
man can tell with any degree of
certainty whether we have suffic-
lent amount of money at the pres
ent time to meet the legitimate de-
mands of our commercial progress
and that any legislation enacted at
this time should be sufficiently
broad and sound to provide for any
future emergency which may arise.
He believes that under the present
financial system few men in Wall
street have absolute control of mon
etary conditions and have it within
their power to create money scare
at will. This condition being gen
orally admitted to be true, he says
the time has arrived when the per-
sonal interests and the business in
teres,s of our people demand that
power greater than Wall street
shall be created through the medi-
um of their own government. -Ee.
