THE Republican party of the state of Pennsylvania, and of the nation, lost a valuable leader when Matthew Stanley Quay, for many years United States senator, closed his eyes In sleep. He was a keen, astute and very practical man. He has been the dominating factor in Pennsylvania politics for many years. Quay was a peculiar person in many ways. He cared not for the opinions of public journals, and was always averse to being interviewed. Even when his constituents were entitled to know what his judgment was concerning Important public questions he always declined to talk. He was a good friend and a bitter and Implacable enemy. He never cared to placate those who were against him, but he never failed to reward those who worked with him to the extent of his ability. He never forgot a face nor a name, and to this faculty he owed a great deal. His advice and counsel were always valuable and ever in demand. Quay was not a great man, except in the respects noted. His Ideas of government were confined to measures calculated to benefit the political party to which he belonged. He was not a statesman, but a politician. When his end drew near he manifested a desire to pass away quietly and in peace and to be laid away without ostentation, and his wishes were respected. Senator Quay died wealthy, although his senatorial salary has been all his visible income. He was worth over a million. Who his successor will be remains to be seen. Wanamaker, who was always an object of dislike to Quay, on account of his Sunday school and other proclivities is out for his shoes and several other dark horses are grooming themselves for the place. Senator Dubois stating that Postmaster Thomas would be called by the senate committee that is Investigating the Smoot matsecure infor- ter, the purpose beng to mation about the election of Senator Kearns, seems to have a few scales on it, else Dubois is not such a wise man as we have been wont to think. Why should the little senator from Idaho want to call the postmaster of this city, when he has had before him the head of the Mormon church and Kearns himself? If evidence was wanted why did not Dubois ask a few questions on that line at the time the people were before his committee? It looks as if Dubois, when here, got a hunch from Kearns to make matters unpleasant for Mr. Thomas, and started out on his mission with much eagerness. The manner in which the syndicated organs, hy reading matter and by cartoon, seconded the efforts of the Idaho man, indicates the real motive behind the statement. THE Herald, aided and abetted by a bunch of philosophers, male and female, has been discussing the selling of papers on the street by the little This daughter of Mrs. Shankman. woman frankly admits that necessity caused her to let the girl sell papers. Meantime the philosophers are discusn sing how and by what means the can be changed to the end that the little one may be sent to school. Truth suggests . that the planking down of some money, both by the Herald and the philosophers, to the extent cf relieving the distress of the poor people mentioned would be an T excellent starter, and is holding its breath in anxious expectation of the announcement that the syndicated organ of Tom Kearns and W. A. Clark has started the ball rolling with a one hundred dollar bill at least. Talk is cheap, but it takes money to alleviate distressing conditions. IT is easy to note the Improvement in the Butte News since it secured a new perfecting press. The News is an paper, independent and is doing excellently well, as It should. It is ably edited, and has several delightful feature writers, not among the least being its sporting man, Tosh, who is a hummer. Our old friend Dutton is doing the cartoon work, and he has improved wonderfully since leaving here, and when here he was no slouch, either. His cartoon on Memorial day was a fine beautifully bit of sentiment, anti-Amalgamat- ed A MARKED Improvement in the tone, appearance and general make-uof the country press has been noticed during the last two weeks, which we attribute to the fact that the editors thereof have been away, leaving the office devil in charge. Variation of monontony sometimes works wonders, and we feel to congratulate the office devils of the respective offices on the results obtained. p COMMENTING on the candidacy of Fred T. Dubois for vice president, the Herald says the Democratic convention might do worse. True, true. It might nominate the editor of the con-dito- Placte-Racc- to do well there. The Milford Times will be discontinued, unless some one steps in and buys the same. Harte Is a good newspaper man, and ought to make a success in Idaho. CHARLES T. HARTE, formerly of this city, but later editor of t!he Milford Times, has decided to change his base, and has bought out a paper at Nampa, Idaho, to which place he will move his plant right away. His new field is an excellent one, and he hopes Sdde k THE Omaha Examiner states that a movement is on foot to nominate former Governor James H. Boyd as the candidate for executive honors on the Democratic ticket in Nebraska this fall. Well, the Nebraska Democracy might go much farther and fare a great deal worse.1 "Jim is a jolly good man and made an excellent official when he was in office before. Success to Boyd.
