But until within the past few weeks apathy has prevailed in nearly every sectton of the country. Both sides have compiained. Both sides have ored to overcome the diffi- culty. It has been but partly overcome here at the close.. The President's western tour was of material service in that qyar- ter, and local questions in several eastern states have aroused the people there. ‘To an unusual degree, however, there is still @ strange lack of such spirit as the occa- sion demands. This condition of affairs makes a non-pro- fessional forecast of the result extremely difficult. Party managers have a duty to perform, and they are performing it. The manager, like the candidate, must be confi- dent. He must assume a confidence if he have it not. The public expects 1t of him, znd always makes a generous allowance for any differences that may appear be- tween his tables and the recorded vote.

The tre urer is accused of depositing state funds in @ Philadelphia bank with an understanding with the cashler that a large portion of them was to be loaned to Richar? Quay. ‘The Quays, father and son, are accused of drawing heavily from the bank, the father for the purpose of speculating in stoc The evidences upon which the allegatto: are based are letters and telegrams which were found among the effects of the cash- ier of the bank, who committed suicide after the bank failed early last spring. When were these papers found? By whom? Who had them In possession between the time they were found and the recent date when Warrants of arrest were obtained on them? Why was not action promptly taken on them? And who is behind the action that now has been taken on them? The republican leader of the fight against Quay Is John Wanamaker. Seven years ago the Keystene National Bank of Philadel- phia closed its doors and a very bad wreck was announced. The president, Gideon Marsh, was arrested on a criminal warrant. He executed bond for his appearance in the sum of twenty thousand dollars, with a brother of Mr. Wanamaker as security, and then fled. The forfeited bond was paid. There was a large deposit of public money in that bank also, and City Treasurer Bardsley, who was responsible for its pres- ence there, was sent to the penitentiary. John Wanamaker had done a large bus!- ness with the bank, and was a witness fa the case when ijs affairs were under ex- amination in court. After the arrest of Mr. Quay his colleague in the Senate, Mr. Penrose, announced in public that Marsh, who ever since his flight 1 been a fugitive from justice, was near at hand and would shortly present himself. This was accepted by the people of Penn- sylvania as a counter move against Mr. Wanamaker, and Mr. Wanamaker himself accepted it as a challenge. He replied to it by urging the return of Marsh, and pledg- ing himself to do all in his power to help secure from him the whole truth about the failure of the K one Bank. Marsh re- turned on Thursday, after an absence in hiding of seven years, and the old case is to be reopened. : Did Senator Penrose know of Marsh's whereabouts? And did anybody else? And, if so, for how long before this Quay-Wana- maker feud broke out? And what was their duty good citizens? Marsh was a fugi- tive Trom justice. A warrant was out for him. Why, if they knew, did they not re- port his whereabouts to the officers of the law? The fullest inquiry ought to be instituted into bo:h cases. The people of Pennsylvania ought to know all the circumstances at- tending so unusual and dramatic an episode in which the machinery of their courts is involved. The Conference Goes On. Spain has formally declined to grant the American demand for the cession of the entire Philippine group. This was expect- ed. She has not, however, broken off ne- gctiations. This is wise. Dispatches from fadrid indicate that Premier Sagasta real- izes that to withdraw from the Paris nego- tiations would involve serious consequences, the end of which would be another peace conference, with more demands by the United States, even more severe than those whicn Spain now rejects as excessive. So the refusal leaves the matter open for fur- ther negotiations. The Paris conference will in all probability continue in session, with perhaps an occasional threat of with- drawal by Spain, until the peace treaty has been framed in accordance with the require- ments of the victorious nation and has been signed by the commissioners. It is note- worthy that these threats of a breach in the negotiations come from private and not from official sources. The French newspa- pers are mainly accountable for the growth of the belief which marked the early part of this week that Spain would not submit to further discussion of the issues on the basis of the absolute cession of the archi- 0. The commissioners from Madrid evidently keep well within their own lines and do not permit themselves to compro- mise their government by promising rash cts of protest. It is, of course, absurd for Spain to claim that the American demand for the cession of all the Philippines is out- side the scope of the protocol under which the Paris conference is acting. That docu- ment, the full text of which is published today, specifically provides that all ques- tions of the future disposition and control of the islands should be left to this com- mission. ———_+ + = —____ The Star’s Campaign Service. Readers of The Star have been kept un- usually well informed this year of the progress of the political campaigns in the various states. Today practically closes the series of letters from special correspond- ents in the various centers of interest. In furtherance of {ts desire to spread before the people of Washington the best possible survey of the situation in each state this paper early arranged with reliable writers who were in position to know the drift of ‘ffairs and the undercurrents of campaign- ing and were able in consequence to present a comprehensive and accurate summary of the chances. Their letters have appeared from time to time and have proved to be especially instructive. In addition to this service The Star has dispatched member: of its own staff into some of the nearer s notably New York, Pennsylvania, rginia and North Carolina, to secure at hand the latest impre of the n and to furnish the citi: of the with conservative forecasts of the ot Tuesday's balloting. Some ot those staff correspondents are now in the id, and will remain there until after el tion. In this manner The Star readers have been placed in touch with the states Washington is an exceptionally favorable place for such a survey of the political lield, having no election distractions of its own to blur the point of view or to distort the vision. The correspondence by mail and by wire will be continued up to the last moment, Summarizing the situation in Mon- jay’s issue as far as may be possible, and noting on Tuesday the progress of the bal- loting. The Star has, of course, made full preparations for the receipt and display and publication of the earliest possible election returns from the most reliable sources, and the people of this city will be in full pos- sion of the news immediately after the facts have been disclosed. a France does not regard Fashoda as of as much importance as it formerly consid- ered it. A place which is likely at any time to develop such oppressive warmth is sncongenial and undesirable. Circumstances have conspired to convince Col. Bryan's admirers that he is not so ential as a pivotal political quantity as ey wt first believed. A great deal of the alleged confidence in New York politics is pretty sure to turn out to be a species of bunco. tates, first Mi camp capital + Mr. Quay 13 undergoing his usual ante- election defeat. ——_—_+ e+ ___ Cycle Collisions, ‘The death of Mrs. Gill yesterday as a re- sult of being struck by colliding cyclists Thursday illustrates a new street pertl. Heretofore it has been frequent experience to find cyclists hurting and even killing each other, and more frequently have they collided with pedestrians, with the most serious results. But it has remained until now for a collision between two of them to cause the death of a third person. It is not difficult to imagine the reasons for a collision between wheelmen at street cross- ings. Each may regard himself as entitled to the right of way, it being often impos- sible to estimate accurately the relative ‘istance of cach from the point where the paths ss. Ordinarily the rule would obtain to give the most advanced rider the freedora of the course, but some- times a scorcher or careless rider will dis- regard this rule and will push on when he sees another wheelman about to cross his path, seeking to get over first. Again a collision will result from sheer bewilder- ment on the part of the riders, who are earnestly seeking to prevent an accident and turn wrongly in their excitement. Much confusion might be prevented if the riders were to adopt a system of bell signals something like those used by the intersect- ing street car lines, to denote a purpose on THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1898—24 PAGES. 7 the part of one or the other to press for- ward. In nine cases out of ten it is likely that all the riders need to avoid an acci- dent is some method ascertaining each oth- er’s intentions and desires. Both may slacken speed or increase it at the same moment if they are ignorant of the pur- poses of each other. If a single or a dou- ble bell stroke were given to indicate in- tention some uncertainty might be re- moved. But this would require a general Tegulation or understanding among all wheelmen, as would, in fact, any other de- vice to prevent accidents of this sort. For example, it is the practice of some wheel- men to grant the right of way in close quarters to any other rider who may be approaching from the right hand, and to demand it of any who may be approaching from the left hand. Much of the trouble arises from the excessive speeds with which some wheelmen turn corners and cross streets. They may keep within the limits of the law and yet incur grave danger by their riding rapidly over frequently used thoroughfares, or across narrow intersec- tions. Pedestrians, of course, must con- tribute a certain amount of care and be reasonably alert to observe the chances of danger at intersections, and not take too confident refuge behind the rule which gives the foot-passenger the right of way at the | regularly designated crossings. —_—+ +» —____ Premier Dupuy’s Bold Move. The new French ministry gives evidence of a desire to clear the domestic atmosphere and re-establish order and confidence in the government by its removal of Gen. Renou- ard from the head of the general staff of the army. Practically all of the troubles involved in the Dreyfus case have been traceable to the general staff. The Henry forgery seems to have been inspired by that body, and it has had full charge of the secret investigations which resulted in the conviction of Dreyfus and in the de- feat of subsequent efforts to secure a re- vision of his case. In short, this general staff formed a sort of close corporation, where the schemes for increasing and main- taining the army’s prestige were hatched and fostered. The general staff dictated not only military affairs, but also civil and diplomatic maneuvers as well. Gen. Renou- ard, it is stated in the dispatches, was charged with having prevented access to the documents in the Dreyfus case. For a long time the power of the staff to defy the civilian authorities of the government seem- ed supreme, and France was, in fact, a military autocracy. Ministries came and went and new legislatures were chosen, but the general staff, by virtue of some mys- terious power, remained intact. M. Dupuy seems disposed to attack this menace to the republican institutions of France by re- moving the head of the staff. —-- 2 oe It is true that nobody bad thought of the Philippines until Dewey was heard from.

His Solicitude. “What platform will you choose for your campaign?” inquired the friend, “To tell you the truth,” answered Senator Sorghum, “‘it isn’t the platform itself about which I give myself most concern. It keeps me busy looking after the people who are trying to saw the timoers out from under it.” The Point of View. “Matters are getting so confused that you can’t tell what a man’s politica! bias is by his opinions.” “Yes, you can. Select some political meet- ing at random and see whether he says it was a brilliant success or a dismal fail- ure. A Spanish Soliloquy. “How our people's names would rattle In the annals of the great, If we lingered at a battle Like we do at a debate!” A Gift. “That orator has a wonderful gift of language,"” remarked the impressionable young man. ‘Ye! answered Miss Cayenne. “He is always throwing language around as if it didn’t cost anything.” Merit Overlooked. “There's one thing that ought to make those Americans feel kinder toward our colored population,” remarked Aguinaido. “What's that?” inquired an assistant “rebel, “It has never been made a pretext for any rag-time music.” A Jarring Afterthought. “Hurrah!'' The cheering sounds aloft O’er the assembled crowd. It echoes in the distance soft And nearer comes and loud. “Hurrah!” And from the trump of fame Vibrating through the air, Is pcured no solitary name. All candidates are there. But cheers, like more substantial things, Are fickle as the wind. Like songs the serenader sings, New objects they will find. The glee can’t check some sighing nor A frown that shades the brow— Whom will they be hurrahing for In one short week from now? ———_—_~--—_____ The Man Who Does Not Vote. From the Peoria Herald. The men who make the greatest howl over the misconduct of affairs where they are misconducted are generally the very ones who do not register and do not vote. They put the blame for their own criminal neglect of business on other shoulders. ‘This is human nature, but it is not justice and it is not good sense. The man who does not vote criminally neglects to perform a public duty. A Claim Justified, From the Chicago Tribune. ‘The fact that the customs receipts of the United States government for the month of October amounted to $15,555,234, against $9,713,494 for the corresponding month one year ago, sustains the claim of the su porters of the tariff of 1897 that it would result In a large increase of the revenue as soon as the new law got fairly into opera- tion. One Democratic View, From the Memphis Commercial Appeal. If there is any one thing which the way- faring man may read as he runs it is that popular sentiment is in favor of expansion, and those democratic leaders who oppose the policy should take counsel with their better judgment and cease their foolish and futile opposition. ——_ +e ______ An Outside View. From the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Campaign oratory in New York: Van Wyck, “Canal, canal, canal!” Roosevelt, “War! war! war.” a A Truism in Politics. From the Detroit Journal.
