It is the fate of the republican party that is barging in the balance at Harris-burg now, not the destiny of Colonel Quay. The latter has received the endorsement of a great majority of his fellow republicans of Pennsylvania, and the question to be settled now is whether the principle of majority rule within the party is to be recognized or repudiated. The president of the Barber county (Kansas) Woman's Christian Temperance union has zeal without discretion.

She entered a saloon the other day and smashed ''a valuable painting and a mirror," say the press reports. The character of toe painting may have led to the assault, but if it was a proper product of the painter's Bkill then it was worse than folly to destroy it or the mirror which shared its fate. Neither contributed to the demoralization of the patrons of the saloon and the lady's conduct was wrong because some anti-temperance fanatic might take a leaf from ber note book and do violence to the furniture of the Woman's Christian Temperance rooms.

force a policy upon it, one thing is certainit is well calculated to produce a pleasant feeling between the executive and the legislative departments of the government. Mr. McKinley was for many years a member of congress and has not forgotten the irritation which the pugnacious conduct of such presidents as Andrew Johnson and Grover Cleveland caused among congressmen. He is aware of the fact that a president who undertakes to dictate a policy to congress never has half the influence with that body which belongs to the less aggressive Bbrewd chief magistrate who governs by yielding. It requires a certain iort of temperament to enable a man to praotice that attitude, one that few public men possess.

We are not going to enter into any inquiry concerning its virtue or otherwise. That may be reserved for another occasion. THE'questlon baa been asked: What name of the Nineteenth century will stand above all others in the recorda of the future? It 1b one that cannot be answered by the men of this generation. If the answer were left to a vote of the people at the present moment the name of Abraham Lincoln would undoubtedly head the list.
