PAUSE TO THINK.
The millions upon million of money
unnually spent by leading American
merchants far adi;Mij twk'f thrown
auay. Then don't tlo business on tlmt
kind of a basis. Niithir would they
enlarge their advertising contracts at
they ore doing each year, itlltply '"'
their health or for the benefit of man
kind. They do it because it means
sales, business, profits: because ecery
successful business man il -generous to
"-number one."
The Hawaiian specter will sit at a
good many Democratic feasts.
The QlTUtH who wurwurnJ at the
mildness of the season has taken to
hugging the front room stove.
Every BANDIT in the land will feel
himself morally indorsed by Democ
racy's adoption of the income tax.
FUDUtQ the workless poor with the
sapless husks of vapid socialistic rhet
oric may fool the voters ouce; but they
won't stay fooled.
Senator Voorhees predicts that the
senate ''will act favorably" on the in
come tax. The senate, then, will kill
it without waste of words.
Like other thins about us the
movement in favor of forminjr a new
county up in the vicinity of Forest
City appears to have been suowed un
der. - -
It is a Scranton habit not to let a visi
tor go nway disappointed. Since Mr.
Herring's call we feel justitieJ in pre
dicting thac the headquarters will remain.
Internal Revenue Collector Her
INQ is very popular with the local De
mocracy just at present, but wait until
he gives the official plum tree a gentle
shake.
Mr Powoekly has good reason to
feel satisfied with the loyalty of his
neighbors and friends. Their stead
fastness is a tribute offsetting all de
traction. If Collector Herrinu were only as
generous politically as he is compan
ionable socially, there would be few
blood stains on bis altar to the sory
epoils fetich.
There may be more acceptable man
than Mr. Peakhatn to Senators Murphy
and Hill; but it is not a quarrel in
which Republicans are ealled upon to
help either side.
There are hundreds of public men at
thirty who lack the snap, push and
vim of that enterprising youthful vet
eran, Galusha A. Grow. While as for
brain work, just match him if you can.
-
As a rule the utuiust good feeling
has attended Lackawauua county's Re
publican caucuses this spring. This is
decidedly a it should be. Reserve all
the fighting strength for the enemy's
benefit.
f
Abisino the money sharks of Wall
street may do very well among the
Populistic rabble in the west, but it
will not sell high priced bond with
which to tide over Democracy's ruin
ous extravagance.
To have the proposed new bridges
will tost Scrantonians just ten
cents on each hundred dollars
of assessed valuation. Is there any
progressive citizen who would hagglo
over this trilling price?
- .
If it should prove that active fac
tors in Democracy's eoonomic read
justment wera working the free list
game for purposes of revenue only,
what, think you. would the harvest be?
There is a suspicion to this effect which
hat not been wholly allayed.
,
Newspaper workers of the Lehigh
valley have a fraternal organization
which meets regularly once neb
month. The best writers and the jol
Rest citizens delight to attend these
periodical banquets ol wit, good humor
and song. Soranton, too, has a Press
club. Has it become hypnotized?
LOTUS EATING.
It strikes us that the esteemed Wash
ington Post has begun to lose its one
time confidence in the able intellects
of the triumphant Democracy. Possi
bly this surmise is unwarranted. Pos
sibly, after so earnestly wanting a
change from Harrison, it feels under
no particular obligations to be satisfied
with what it got. But in this, that or
the other event.it is certainly true that
the Post it gradually becoming sarcas
tic. And when the Post becomes sar
castic its linguistic effulgence reaches
the limit of high and marvelous capa
city. Let us follow one of its flights:
While the doctrinaires and theorists in
congress fare merrily on their giddy way,
Irglslaling for the Happy Valley and tusk
ing glad the souls of Rasselas and Plato,
those low and sordid persons who do not
rxpvct a fall of inanun or see their way to
msintnluitig civilized government on nec
tar and ambrosia, are wondering how it is
all to eventuate. Mr. Carlisle nt one end
of the avenue tells us that the treasury Is
running behind: that we must borrow
money to pay our debts, and the Demo
cratic leaders at the other end are
gayly whittling away the nation's
revenue and beckoning the deluge
with both hands. We are to have
free coal, free sugar, free ores, free every
thing including, of course, froe starvation
and if, when the carnival comes, we find
ourselves without bread, wecau eat cake
and be jolly ever after. Meanwhile, vive
la bagatelle' as v e say along the Riviera.
What does the country want of a revenue,
anyhow: And if it doesn't need a revenue,
why have a tariff ? The only thing neces
sary to the common happiness is an ob
literation of the custom houses,- the unre
stricted importation of foreign merchan
dise which nobody will be able to buy.uud
a wholesouio tnilux of fornigu patriots
with whom nobody will be able to live.
Possibly the Post uiiijht find it da
sirable to explain why it once preferred
such a congress to one in the control of
experienced and consistent men. There
are several cltlznna in these parts who
have been wacking their brains for a
suitable explanation of a similar pre
ference. Undoubtedly they meant
well at the tinin. But they have not
been politically well a moment since. If
the Post could diagnose th- vauary
which was so epidemic in 1892 it would
fulfil a sigual servioe to hummity and
likewise do much toward squaring it
self. THE CALL OF DUTY.
There has not, in uiauy a day, been a
more serious situation iu politics, iu
business and iu the home life of our
people than that which prevails at this
moment. We nssert this calmly, con
servatively, and with no wish to stim
ulate ularm. But it is a fact which all
can see, and of which each citizen is
personally conscious, that the indus
trial prosperity of the Amsrioati people,
their ability to secure steady work at
fair aud honorable wages, and the op
portunity of each one of them to con
duct his accustomd activities iu tran
quility aud without thethreat of curtail
ment or loss, have been directly men
aced by the reckless men aud by the
s'ill more reckless measures of the
Democratic party. Want or the fear
of it today sits on doorsteps where, two
years ago, prosperity eem?d a perma
nent guest. Stagnation, idleness, uu
profitable trade attend the movements
of capital and of labor; and the only
answer to the populir demand for re
lief ia the crack of the Democratic par
tisan whip as it lashes its un-American
legislation still faster along the path
way to ruin.
It has been given to the favored resi
dents of Lickawanna connty to ex
perience less poigunntly theso burdens
and stings of hostile economics than
they have bean experienced by many of
our fellow-citizens iii other portions of
our land. Advantageous natural
environment, rare resources in our
mines aud the natural thrift and
frugality of our people have thus far
combined to lighten the weight which
presses upon the Republic. But no
section and no community can stand
out for long ag-iinst tho continumoe
of this tariff threat unless it gird it
self strongly for tin battle of self
dofonce aud inspires alt its timil in
dustrial factors with tao ooaraga born
of stalwart championship and matured
by the knowledge that tha right man
ia in the right place, upholding the
American standard and strengthening
protection's support.
Amonjf the representative protec
tionists of this congressional district
there is no other man who enjoys the
large confidence of every citizjn and of
every local intsrjst that is accorded
to William Connell. A man of the pao
ple, revered by- the p tuple, aad in
touch with the people, he has, by an
unsurpassed particip itiou in the activ
ities of our community aud by a
breadth of benevolence and public
spirit that knows neither class,
race nor creed come to be look
ed upon as peculiarly and pre-eminently
their leading reprssentativ. In
the confidence which hs commands
party lines are obliterated ; the frictions
of partisan factionalism disappear and
there is seen that practical unan
imity of trust which points to
him as the one leader fit
ted to head the economic protest
which our citizens must make. Mr.
Connell can, if he will, have virtually
an unopposed pathway to congress
Those elements of opposition which
may have existed iu the past exist no
longer against him. If he shall
consent to make the personal sacri
fice which a congressional career
would involve, he will not only be
elected, but he will be elected by such
an overwhelming expression of the
popular will as wonld give to him
a prestige unequalled in the annals of
this congressional district.
The question to be considered now;
the question which, in justice both to
the people and to the other Republican
leaders of this district, should bt con
sidered now, is whether or not Mr.
Connell will deem it proper to baed tho
call that comes from his neighbors and
friends, An affirmative answer would
clarify the political atmosphere as
nothing else could. it would be a di
rect mnssage of confidence aud cheer
to every wage earntr and to every
employer in the district upon whom
the hand of business uncertainty rests
with menacing (harshness, ft would
focalizi the patriotic sentiment of this
once-happy valley into an auspicious
promiso of renewed prosperity. It
wonld he the bright rainbow of hope
which should prophesy political har
mony and the not-distant tranquil!
zation of the disturbed elements of our
ommercial life.
It is time for Mr. Connell to give a
sign. The duty is before him. What
will he do with it?
BONDS THAT BEG.
Secretary Carlisle's experience with
the New York bankers illustrate! the
fatuity of trying to ride two horses at
one time. It recalls Mr. Lincoln's story
narrating how pleasant such a journey
was Until the horses cams to a puJdle
In the road ; then the rider felt conscious
bat something had dropped,
Mr. Carlisle has not yet dropped, but
he will have to make material modifi
cations in his policy to avert such a
fata. After hesitating and parleying
for mouths, with tile gold reserve all
the time oozing away, to pay the debts
unnecessarily contracted by an admin
istration bant on increasing, instead of
relieving the deficiency, there is a de
cided element of humiliation iu hit
final supplicatory visit to the nation's
money center, iu search of purchasers
for a belated issue of bonds which, had
it been decided upon at the proper mo
ment, would have commanded, not
begged purchase.
Tlirao decades agj in a time of na
tional paril, the bankers of Gotham
rescued the government ereditbyone
of tho most patriotic purchases iu the
history of tinanco. But they are natu
rally averse tn doing this thing a sec
ond time, under the bid of an adminis
tration doaf to thoir economic counsel
and bending its every energy to the in
tensification ot the treasury trouble.
The Democratic secretary of our dolib
rately depleted treasury cuts a sorry
figure in now beseeching aid from n
class that his partisans have reviled
with the bitterest vocabulary of invec
tive, and that they would not scruple
ngaiu to turn upon with crass iugrati
tnde. Our Democratic contemporaries are
wasting considerable, nerve force in
efforts to hypnotize Republican voters
to slumber by repeated assurances that
Hon. G. A. Grow will certainly be
eleoted. Tho political elements are
not favorable at this season for extens
ive harvests ou chaff. Mr. Grow will
be elected, and by a majority calcu
lated to paralyzs tariff linkers, too,
notwithstanding the desperate efforts
of the Democratic press to create uu
impression that the election of a ootl-gifssiuiiii-at
large is of no p9uial im
portance. 1 ! CANNOT have escapail tho notice of
attentive reader that wherever, this
year, there has been a gathering of Re
publicans, the outpouriug of attendants
and of enthusiasm has besn singularly
emphatic. Interpreted iu other word's,
this is manifestly a Rspuulicau year.
An ENERUETIC, determined and un
yielding battle all along the line is as
necessary this spring as if Mr. Grow
were not sure of a six-figure majority.
The exercise will come in good plav
when the November struggle is reached.

AN innovation just tried by Wilkea
Barre Elks with much success has been

of the kind be advantageous here?
.
MINOR FACTS AND FANCIES.
Captain John C Oeiauey takes no stock
in the .!'.'"- iuii "Young man, go west."
His experience m Oklahoma convinces him
that the man who is not a rover by dispo
sition would do an exceedingly foolish
tbiDg to rush away from the refinements
of civilization merely to chase the uncer
tain phantom of wealth in the froutier
wilds. Iu the opinion of the genial cap
tain, as he outlined it in classic phraseol
ogy during n recent and pleasant call
upon The Tribune, Horace Greeley will
have to answer for well uigh as big a bulk
of woe as will that most odious of living
personages, in Captalu Delaney's mind,
Secretary Hoke Smith. Only, Greeley
meant well, while Hoke Smith didn't.
And, speaking of Hoke, those who have
been led to infer from the captain's recent
silence that he has exhausted his 'ammu
nition upon the queer-named Georgian
make a very serious mistake. The captain,
it we may use the phrase, is simply "lay
ing for" Brother Smith; laying for htm
with a deadlier equipment of rhetorical
bombs, cannon balls, petards and small
arms than ever awaited a Lascar i-rew
from behind the silent gunwales of a de
coy tnan-o'-war. There will be fast, fur
ious and (iuaxhaustible fun when the cap
taiu gets through with Air. Cleveland's
"cracker'' Georgian And; but Hoke won't
share it.
Everybody in Scranton who knows him
and everybody else who knows anybody
that knows him. will most heartily rejoice
at the news that Wilkes-Barre's philo
sophic, witty and inimitable Dr. Doyle has
got the better of bis locent serious illuess.
Home of his back bone is gone the real
bone, not the metaphor and the genial
doctor may have mauy a joke thereat; but
not a whit of his cheeriuess, bonhommie
and sparkling good fellowship has been
lost In the shuffle of his lumbar vertebra).
Long life, say we, to Luzerne's amiable
doctor; aud may it be a long time ere he
Again has himself for a patient.
Another sterling Luzerne countiau who
is almost as well known iu Scrauion as he
is in Wilkes-Harrf, is ex-Senator Morgan
B. Williams, just arisen conqueror after
a bitter catch-as-catch-can engagement
with la grippe. The rugged vitality of
this sturdy protectionist, which has sue
cessfully breasted the manifold cares of
intricate business relations until it has
landed him among the winners in life's
material struggle, isn't of a fibre to bo baf
fled by nny interloping Ktisslnn epidemic
like the grip. HesideB, isn't congress
beckoning?
Agrarians Are in the Saddle.
Henry Halt in Pittibury Timei.
WAaBINOTOK, .fan. SB. The truth is the
free trade, single tax, Populist elemeut in
the Democracy has practically got the
whip hand. They control tho party in the
house. The south and west are strong for
an income tax, and are sharp enough to
see that if they cannot got ft through
tnckod to tho Wilson hill, they cannot pass
it by itself, and they rely on fealty to the
party's pledges on the tariff to make its op
ponents swallow it along with the Wilson
mil. lint if it dues pBS the house, the sen
ate will likely make short work of it.
