One Candid Speach. With tlie lesson of Homestead, of Connellnville and of Centralis staring tbem full in the faoe, it is not surpris ing that the Republican delegates at Harrisburg on Wednesday applauded to the echo these eloquent words from the lips of District Attorney George S. Graham, of Philadelphia: I hope the time will come when, in no uncertain way, tho platform ot onr party Will be advanced bo us to affirmatively do cluro for restricted immigration. The wage-earner has been bouefltted by tho tariff duties levied on goods and chattels, buthe is exposed to t he standing menace of Unobstructed entrance at Castle liar den. Labor and wages must how to the law of supply and demand, and if we pro tect our .industries so that our nago earners may have the advautage of tho higher wages paid in our own country, we create a most inviting field for the foreigner, whose wages are co mnch lower. Indeed, the reckless injus tice of capital will sometimes import in ferior classes of labor from abroad to take the place of American workmen when ever a disagreement exitH between em ployer and employed. Let our restric tions on immigration not ouly exclude the pnurer nnd the criminal, as onrplat-' term does, but also protect the American workman in tho fall possession of the benelits of our tariff policy. At the time and in the connection in which these wordi were spoken titer was no suggestion of narrowness nor intolerance in the fpsaker'a meaning. He meant and the convention inter preted him as meaning, not to discour age the utmost welcome to aliens wor thy of admission to American oppor tunities, but simply to bar out those not fit to couie in; and to donble lock the bara bo that tricksters could not continue to squeeze unfit ones through. It is a fHmilhir platitude of Democratic nnd Popnlistio demagogues that tbe Republican party wishes secretly to encourage the bringing over of unde sirable alien labor under contract. Tbe charge is untrue. Whatever may be true of ieolated individuals, tho party in tho abrogate is honest in its belief that American labor should be protecteJ, not only at the custom house but at the jumping oft place; not only by tariffs, but by certification nnd inspection laws, by anti-contract labor' laws tlfat mean what they say, by discrimination laws and by laws calcu lated iu other ways to lessen tho liabi lity to transplanted continental misery and vice. Iu proof of this it is sufficient to cite the fact that, every tangible move yet made in this direction hue resulted from Republican initiative, has succeeded through Republican championship and is sustained largely through the instrumentality of Repub lican mtpport. At the same time, this restrictive protection is yet far from perfect. There is no ue denyiug that among a great many practical politicians in both the old parties this simple and easily adjusted problem has been ap proached in any thiug but a business -like manner. There has among the men whoea livelihood depands upon votes been an altogether unjustifiable timidity and caution in getting square ly ard fairly to the rel point. The phraseology of onr laws has repeat odly beaten this immigration evil around tho stump; but sit has been notoriously reluctant to grapple with the monster and crush out its lift. Mr. Graham interjected a plain bit of virile common sense into a rather mo notonous afternoon of florid rhetoric and got for his candor applause that amounted to an ovation. Fairly and honestly interpreted, his sentiments are the sentiments of true American ism everywhere. Only by distortion can they be misconstrued into reflec tions upon any desirable race or class. If the eakly candidate has any li cense to make off with the office, Ben , jamln J. Haywood, of Mercer county, cashier of the state treasury depart ment, will enrely ancceed his present chief, State Treasurer Jackson. Al though scarcely aettled In bis new po sition, Mr. Haywood announces that h will aspire to the higher one; and what ia more important, diaplays qualifications fully entitling him to tbe promotion. The Country Editor. While it is true that the multiplica tion of daily journals and the rapid widening of their areas of circulation have to a degree cut into the constitu encies once enjoyed by the country weeklies, it la also true that the influ ence wielded by the latter upon rural thongbt is, bound for many generations to remain supreme. Therefore, any at tempt to shutout tbe country editor ia a blow at the loyal constituency he ao faithfully serves, and must of necessity react npon those who are lta parent. Especially true is thia with reference to the editora of Republican weekly journals in Pennsylvania, to whose pa tient and not always well-paid advo cacy of sound political doctrine the party ia indebted for much ot its pre aent atrength aa a factor in govern ment. Tbeae cotnmenta are suggested In nnsequeaeeot a conversation recently erlieard nt llarrlsbure between cer- auipaigu manager! and represen tatives of tho metropolitan daily press. Aniong tbe latter there waa a disposi tion to re i. nt the comparatively large consideration accorded by the conven tion management to the "country edi tors." It waa even proposed iu the future to urge the recognition, as work ing newspaper men, ouly of those con nected with daily publications, upon the plea that the weeklies could readily get their reports at aecond hand. To this idea as well ns to tbe suggestion's general tone Tun Tridunu desires to place on reeord Its emphatic protest. What is needed at state conventions ia adequate representation and accommo dations for all the newspapers, whether printed daily or weekly; and when this i i secured, if anybody has to be kept off the atage let it be that class of boisterous paid boomera who seem of late years to have acquired a peculiar command over the sources in all par ties whence emanate tbo press ticketa of admission. The admission of these vocal soldiers of fortune to any part of the convention hall should be resonted; but their presence becomes doubly ob noxious when, by the management's dumping of them in great hordes upon the stage, in the wings and at the ta bles reserved for tbe newsptper repre sentatives, real jonrnaliBts are prevented from writing adequate reports, and editors of influential weekly papers are sent home with the feeling that tbe party which is willing during ev ery campaign to exact thousands of dollars' worth of free advertising from their columns is not willing to make the small reciprocity embodied in cour teous treatment at the parly's stato convention. The testimony of General Clarkson and numerous other discerning Repub lican campaign managers of national importance is that no other factor con tributes so muoh to the creation of party sentiment as does a loyal, able and harmonious party prosa. How can this harmony be maintained while tho attitude of the party management, aa revealed at atate conventions, is one of indifference or of opan disdain? The Thidcsi is convinced that luBt Wed nesday's exclusion of numerous prom inent country editora at the HarriBburg opera house, while tbeir places were occupied by loud mouthed ward heelers, was due to on inadvertence, and not to design. Chairman (iilkeson has given persona assurance that it shall not oc cur again. The aim of the stato com mittee will be to foster a feoling of good will among the country journal ists, rather than to stifle it. This week's mistake will gnide the way to more prudent conduct in tbe future. Secrecy in investigations is Demo cracy's compliment to the causticity of tbe truth. The elements of the past week have been decidedly unfavorable to the en terprise of the Pennsylvania fire corre spondent who keeps the metropolitan newspapers warm with lurid accounts of forest conflagrations. THr.iiK ABB times when a modern Knights Templar pilgrimage partakes of the characteristics of a mediaeval crusade. The Flag Problem. Governor Flower, of New York, in vetoing a bill to prohibit the display of foreign fltgs on public buildings, has again braved public criticism. It is i probable that (his bill had its origin in a prejudice which many good Ameri cans do not share. The mere act of extending courtesies to other lands on particular days is harmless in itself, and at tinus even commendable. If the president of France, for instance, should honor this country with n visit, it would be a churlish feeling which would object to the flying of the French emblem alongside Old Glory in recognition of a sister republic with which our own nation haa always been upon friendly terms. This illuatration applies equally lb England, Germany, Ireland or any other friendly European, Asian or South American power. To 'nact into law a sweeping prohibition which should militate against the com mon amenities of occasions like the supposititious one in point would be an extreme position fully as undesira ble in its way as is the present tend ency Mn some qnartera to abuse the privilege nnd turn it into an accessory of partisan demagogiim. It wonld be proper to insist nnder all circumstances that no foreign fl tg shall fly in an official relation from an Am erican flagetaff withont tbe compan ionship of the Stars and Stripes. Our own honored emblem ought, indeed, to be first, with any other flags that occasion might require to he displayed occupying a anbordinate place. Such a requirement wonld fulfill the necessi ties of symbolized patriotism and work no Indignity or give no real offenoe to fair-minded representatives of foreign nations. Tbe spirit which at this time is firm in demanding a larger rec ognition of the typified principles of Yankee citizenship is wise and whole Bomoln its general purpose, if not in variably prudent in its occasional ex pressions. Thia ia the land of our alleg iance, and no other. The good citizen, whether native or naturalized, will not peraistently do that which could reason ably be construed as a alight to the United States government: if there be those among na who would do thia they ahould be taught better to appreciate tbe privileges tbey enjoy, and if not amenable after due effort to patient teaching and wise advice, should be in formed that the hospitality which they abuse is not a natural right but rather a voluntary courtesy, subject to with drawal when made the basis of dis loyalty, But that would seem to be a good place to draw the line.. The sentiment in behalf of thia reasonable reform ought not to be IJaelf abused through nartowed diatortioua and embittered sectional, racial or religions antipath ies. The trend of pnblic opinion on thia subject ia in the right direction. The citizenship of America, native and adopted, is growing yearly more in telligent, loyal and patriotic. Dema goglsm, although rampant in spots, ia slowly becoming less effective with tbe thinking masses. Tbe men who make demagoglam their political stock in trade are being fonnd oat. What la known as the Independent voter, mean ing thereby the voter who la governed in his civic relations by Intelligence, principle and oommon aenae, ia a grow ing and beneficent factor in the clari fication of American politica. Thia conscientious force is not to be bullied. It is amenable ouly to the prudent and gradual argu ments of education, liberality and broad-mindedness. The proscription of all foreign flsg-flying, without qual ification or reservation, ia not one of these prudent arguments. It is an ex treme' plea, no doubt honest in concep tion, but liable to be distorted into msnifeatationa which would needlessly complicate a civic problem that for its proper solution calls for the utmost patience, conciliation and moderation. People can bo led when they cannot be driven. Tho aim of conservative Americans is to lead their brethren of foreign nativity into a duo comprehen sion of tho responsibilities of Ameri can citizenship and not drive them, rough shod, until resistance nnd re sentment are engendered as inevitable consequences of too radical procedure. There are repeated assertions in both parties aa to the prevalence of corruption in the politica of Lnzsrne county; but commonly these chargea come in the nature of "atop thief" clamor designed to conceal pocket picking even more flagrant than that complained of. The esteemed Wilkee Barre Record raiaes a new style of dust by charging a competitor for tho Republican congreasional nomination in that district with making too free use of his money. We do not credit the insinuation that this complaint is merely a moan of anguish from one of tbe Record's friends who is also thia year a distanced candidate himeelf. It must have substantial foundation; and the Record ia too honorable a journal not to sustain its vague chargea with detailed proof. Whatever failings ho may have, it cannot be denied that Frank Willing Leach knows politics to the minutest detail, is a superior organizer and loies no time in getting things in proper working order. Ilia return to the sec retaryship of the state commltte will, therefore, meet with general approval, particularly since this is a year when thore will be no occasion for conflicts between leaders and political volunteers. Correspondent Edwards, who ex posed the sugar trust scandal, would strengthen bis ca?e by the cheerful revelation of his sources of iufoima tion, provided, of course, he first ob tained their consent. There are facts enough to back his ;tory up and make the publication of the same exceedingly uncomfortable to officials high in power. Tut: Philadelphia Presi is abund antly justified iu its enjoyable satisfac tion at tbe work of last Wednesday's Republican state conveution. If tho deeds, words and influences of the Press bad been subtracted from that gathering's proceedings there would not have been much left. It is an indication of wholesome pro gress when reputable journals of all partieo unite in the advocacy of honest immigration restriction. With such stroug forces unanimously urging for ward, the pnll-backs will simply be dragged along perforce. Now that it has completed ita grat uitous distribution of friendly tokens to the other clubs, the Scranton aggre gation of ball players should start in to Win a few games of its own. MUSIC and Musicians. The marriage of Miss Emma Conrad, the well known soprano, and Mr. Theo dore Ilemburger.violinist,i8 announced to take place early next month. Mbs Conrad, a native Scrantonian, u an ex cellent pianist as well aa a prima donna of great ability. During her sojourn in Europe, where she sang in grand opera, Miss Conrad mastered the lead ing roles in fifteen or sixteen cf the ataudard operas. Her greatest success was as Marguerito in "Faust," in which character she received tbe highest praise from the German press. Pro fessor Hemburger bus been in Scranton only a few months, but in that time has made hosts of friends in musical circles, where his genial manners and many accomplishments are appreciated, II II II Tho well known comic opera, "The Doctor of Alcantara," will be given by tbe choir of St. Peter's in St. Thomas' ball iu about two weeks. The produc tion will be under direction of Pro fessor Schilling, organist of the Cathe dral, who has bad much experience in superintending presentations of comio opera. ''Tne Doctor of Alcantara," by Eicbberg, ia one of the brightest of light operas ami, though written yeara ago, never grows old. St. Peter's choir contains vocalists who are amply able to give the work a creditable ren dition. Rehearsals will begin at once. II II II Carbondale ematenr musicians have decided to abandon the idea of pre senting the "Pirates of Ponzance" in this city. After looking over the amusement field they dcoided to cancel dates prospective or otherwise in Scranton nntil fall. II II II Costnmers are busily engaged pre paring the paraphernalia necessary for tbe presentation of the ''Fall of Baby lon," wnich will be given at the Froth ingham under direotlou of Tallie Mor gan. The chorus costumes will bs made in this city of inexpensive ma terial, though tbey will be selected and designed with a view to producing the best effects in blending of color in the grand processionals, in which the en tire chorus of 500 people will appear on the stage. The elaborate drcaaca worn by the principal characters will be manufactured in New York. Rehears als are moving smoothly and Mr. Mor gan reports that tbe singers are making rapid progress. II II II Professor Daniel Protheroe, Mus. Bsc, will take a pleasure trip through Wisconsin in Jane. II II II Barnnm'a oircus was not only re sponsible, no donbt, for the rain, but the greataat ahow on earth was also the means of depriving Scrantonlnna of tbe"opportunity of hearing Lillian Russell in comio opera. Manager Blackwood, of the Frothingbam, had arranged with Mr. Lederer for an ap pearance of Mies Rnssell and company on May 24. When the New York man ager, however, learned that it waa the date of Barnnm'a circus he refused to take the risk, not caring to compete with a circua even nnder the most fav orable oonditiona. Manager Blaok wood hopes to secure a date for the celebrated queen of comio opera before the end of the season. CLOSE THE GATES. Fcrantcn Truth. This has been so long and proudly pro claimed to be "tho land of the free and the home of the brave" thot tho people of the oountry, listening to that strain, have for gotten to keep America from being "the land" of those who translate freedom as license to trample on law, and "tbo home" of those who dolioe bravery as defiance of law. The class of new-oomers from realms where ouly tho mili tary arm of the government has ever had power to coutrol them are compelling here the U9e of the same power to put an end to riot and murder. Then, since that must bo done, the earlier it can be done the better for the rioters themselves. The time is upon this country when it should stern ly rule out all such Incomers. The coun tries wherein they have been born and grown up must go to work to civilize them at home. This country has enough to do to assimilate and educate tbo multitudes of such tbat have already beon poured in, or called in, upon us. THE CHICAGO PLATFORM. I was once a joyous platform; in Chicago I was inado; The people laughed and hollered and tbe bands all ,-anie and played. My planki were joined so neatly that the carpeuters dttclared 'Twas a case of clear perfection, and they'd lick the man who dared Insiiiuate.tliat I was anything but staunch and good; And now there ain't enoiiRh of me for cam paign kindling wood. Where aro now thoso vocal efforts and thoso sentiments sublime? Thoso tunes played gladly out of key and mostly out of time? Gone into deep oDliviou; laid high upon tho shelf. Dear, patriotic speeches, you're back num bers, like myself. They said they made me strong enough to copo with any fate, And yet I proved as fragile as a chunk of armor plate; To patriotic fires I'd give somo splinters, if I could, But now tburo ain't enough of me for cam paign kindling wood.
