FoWDERtiT is once more a pri -vate citizen and could, without impro priety, run for any elective office within tho people's gift. But that is not saying he has over manifested such water-logged judgment as would lead him to aspire to election this year on the Democratic ticket. For Home Protection. One of the frequent complaint! heard by those whose duties take them among the merchants oT our city is that it has become a habit among many Hcrantoninns to do much of their pur chasing in Philadelphia or New York, thus sending away money which would be of decided value to all classes if kept nteadily In home circulation; and by that extent crippling the prosperity of tho community in which they live. The following remark was made not long ago by a loeal manufacturer who spoke with some bitt-r.'iess. Inasmuch as he was not expecting to be quoted, we feel obligated to vvithold his name: I could tell you of members of. tho board of trade, some even prominent in the ef forts of that organization to induce now uinntifucture.-i to establish hero, who have not for years patronized several branches of home industry already established. One buys his carriages ami harness in Now York, and send-i his old vehicles there to Ve repaired. Another purchases bit clothes ih'-re, anil a third has not tur mahr years I ml a new piece of fnrniiuro in his eletrant home that did not, reach liim through norao dealer in the metropolis. Aud so on, through the lit. We merchants get the trade if those who cannot afford to go to New York to do their buying; and a trood bit ot this tiade wo have to carry along on credit. But those who have tho money to pay cash for what they heed frequently Ignore us altogether, and wo notice it, 1 tell you, when we eoino to balance our books at the end of the year. Is it possible that this view of the case is somewhat exaggerated; but there is undoubtedly an element of truth in it. No doubt the habit of which complaint is made is due largely to thoughtlessuess. In few instances would we like to beliovo that it is re peated deiibeintely. While there may, upon occasions, be a superfical gain in the purchasing of goods far away from home, as a general rul tlii.s supposed economy in the long run defeats itself. A community liko onr own, when spec ially favored with certain natural re sources that comprise practicilly an exclusivs item of wealth, stands in much the same relation toward distant communities not thus favored that ob tains between the United States as a whole, and less favored countries in Europe, We protect our American iabor nnd American capi tal ty interposing such tar iff laws between this country and those countries as will preserve to both our sreat national home market. Whilo it is not feasible to duplicate thru tariff laws in the smaller sub divisions of onr coram on country, it is at least feasible fr-r each community, ?o far as it can without actual injus tice, to care for its own'interests first. Tho thirty or forty square miles of which Scranton la the logical trading center would enjoy abetter prosperity It there were less diversion of active capital to distant places except in the jpuccnase oi w.ioiesiie atocKs or raw materials which we do not manufac ture or proncce in mis vaiioy. Phis would give to all of us a mutual gain! which is the secret and esienco of in dependent citizenship, national pros perity and advancing civilization. By snch an application of the protec tionist theory it is not meant to dis criminate against any other section or elate; but simply to apply, in practice, the Scriptural theory that "bo who will not provide for bis own family hath denied the faith and is worse than an infidel." Tho Scrantonian who votes for national protection to home industries and then proceeds to neglect the industries of his own honv, hath, it seems to us, consciously or nncon eciously "denied the faith" and is worse than a Democrat. "What has the Democratic con cress doner is the question that reaches us in an esteemed contempor ary. It has not, perhap, done as much ps it might, and yet it has practically finished some parts or the job that was interrupted at Appomattox. -- Mr. Dickie's Banter. We are told that the eloquent gentle- mnn who recently expounded Third v Partyism in our city, Mr. Dickit, grew generous at ono point in his address and rashly offered a ten-dollar gold piece to any auditor who shonld prove nble to convince him of the difference between tho Democratic and Republi can parties. Without knowing how much argument or evidence it would take to convince a professional partisan whoso mission would cease the moment the attempt should be successfnl, we venturo to suggest that Mr. Dickie's banter could bo modified so as to be come "an easy one." Let him substi tute, in place of himself, nny number of impartial and disinterested men, capable of understanding facts, appre ciating logic and discerning truth, and we should not much hesitate to go in for that gold eagle ourselves. However frequently individual leaders in the two parties may at times fall Into identical paths; and however much the inevitable abuses of politics nt understood in this country may similarly outcrop in both parties, the difference between Republicanism nnd Democracy is fundamental. It is like- wiso eternal. It is the difference bo- tween positive nnd negative carrente of thought and impulse, between pro gress and obstruction, between tho eagle nnd the buzzud. Democracy, in this country, as expressive of the underly ing aims and temlsncles of a political organization, means the woakening and 1 the crippling of jjovernmeut through the attenuation of government and tiirongh cowardice in its administra tion. Republicanism mean govern ment's invigoration through manly and : tfiuare-toed centralization up to the furthest notch consistent with the best interests of the governed. The Demo cratic party is a party of noeation, of opposition, of dissolution. The It 'pub lican party is a party of assertion, of progreis, of upbuilding. The Republi can party is tbo party that, whatever i its early title, has ever insisted upon setting the pace. The Democratic party that is, whatever its former designations, has from the becinning lioen the party that at first sullenly op posed, next grew violently hostile and ended up by following aftor the vic- i torious Bepnblioan procession, far in ' tho rear and at a serio-comic jog trot. Th illustration of Gahisha A. Grow at Ilarrisburg is nptand pointed. Dsm j o;racy io tho lone passenger Id the last I car, whose back is toward the Republi i can eugine and who never sees auy- thing until it has patttd. But it was probably fat from Mr. 1 Dickie's infantum to have his proposi tion takun scrioutly. lie is at liberty to keep the f 10 and fall back on the plea that assertion is not proof. The history of legislation is crammed to the covers with detailed evidences sup ;ortlng our claims; but Third party orators very naturally do not w ait to admit it. They prefer to think that bec.irno in a national surfeit of mate rial prosperity which aroso as a result of Republican legislation guarding and fostering our natural opportunities, certain individual Republican leaders got careless or grow corrupt, tue grand old party itself has ceased to have vital force. We conl.l not deprive him of tliH idea if we would, and wo would not If we could. Ho is not the first man to get principles oonfuasd with men. A majority of bit fallow countrymen fell into the samo error two yean ago, and are literally pining to get aMiuire chance to make amende for that frightful miatalvn. The tendency of our esteemed con temporaries in Troy to prolong the talk about Mnrpliyism and municipal reform should not lead them to over look the incidental fact that there is likewiae occasion for work. The Sunday Problem. In a letter printed elsewhere;, Rsv. John Davy dissents to the position here tuforo taken by The Triiiun'e with ref erence to the Sunday law of 1701. Wo do not concur in all that Air. Davy sayt in his letter: but we are glad to give any and ull sides of any proper issue, and welcome a free interchange of opinions by our renders. Onr idea of the duty of the state in legislating with reference to Sunday observance- is, as wo novo said, that it rests upon u civil basis; not because our's ie an irreligions government, but because it has baen agreed by common consent to leave questions of a religj iom significance to the consciences of men, rathor than to use tlie coercive method called law. Mr. Davy's opin ion appeare to be that wo should have more religion in our laws, which Would be a good thing if the majority would accept it. 'ibis tioiut, however, is somewhat aside from the main question. A cer tain law oxists. It is baing violated. It should not bo violated. The law may not suit us, but so long as it is ou tho statute book, by the consent of the majority, it dessrves to be enforced. The liberal citizen is at all times will ing, in questions of law, to subordi nate his personal preferences to tho will of the majority. In doing that he fulfill the functions of an American citizm. To refuse to bow to that will would be to assume an attitude of in subordination, which is counter to ;.il wise teaching, both oivil and re ligions. It is said that the quickest way to repoal a bad law is to enforce it. The law of 1791 has not, for many years. been enforced. If 111 itfl Oil !,),',. tnont ueon entorc objectionable f eatnres should disclose themselves, the force of public senti ment will soon be sufficient to elimin ate these features. While tho law ex ists, it is incumbent upon good citizens to obey it. They should not wait to lo compelled to do this. They should vol unteer to do it, (rutting in the general good sense of their fellow citizons to right any minor errors and repair any technical defects. Tin: Tbibuni is for law onrorcemont under all circumstances. At the same time, it reserves the right to suggest amendments to the law, and to point I out defects, or what it thinks to be de fects. It is for principle, rather than fur particular phrases. The former are eternal. The latter cm be changed whenever the majority so decree, Tit.. -i wiieie ior iwo ami one-ua r years rn de', h y" "T" " j Ma.lam Viardot Garcia directed he ment of despatches in reference to dy- ! ,.adie..

The Common Sense of It. The decision of tho court yesterday in the Hughes-Collins contest, although dissented from in one place by Judge Gunster, will in its general purport re assure those who had feared the new ballot law, 'by its technical difficulties, might operate to disfranchise a propor tion of vottrs. Divested of non-esson-tials, the decision ie to tho effect that whoro the intont of the vo.torflls plain beyond adoubt, his vote shall be count ed. Similar decisioni have heretofore been reached in the lower court of this commonwealth; end also dissenting ones. It would seem to be desirable to j have the issue reviewed by tlie supreme court; and an appeal from some one of the various -ocurring instances of liti gation involving this point would till a long-felt want. A ballot law cannot be too closely and explicitly under stood. Lord Roskbeuy has not yet sncceeded in giving Ireland home rule. But he i has done the next best thing. He has succeeded in convincing 'Squire G. W. i Smalley that he is a bona lido homo rulor. Since candidate McDowell got all i the laughter and applause; and Candi ' date Huff all the votes, we see no rea son why thesj two amiable gentlemen should not cordially shake, bunds and call tho thing squaro. The Democratic papers are again saving General Hastings a deal of ; trouble in the formation of a cabinet; ' nnd incidentally revealing how little ' they expect party success themselves. Notiiinu has developed since our last diagnosis to indicate that a Democratic candidate for congross in this district this fall would serve any other purpose than that of an awful example. Ai.thouoh several days havo elapsed since the New York Sun named its can didate for we have failed to dis cern any signs of a spontaneous upris ing in behalf of Newt Twitt.

Manager Maokey of the Mackey Kenney opera company arrived in the city Saturday evening in advance of the troupe. The rest of the company will probably reach Bcrnnton today from JobnttOWn where they filled sn engagement latt week. The present week will be spent in this city in drilling new members who have been recently added to the chorus and in making other preparation! for the opening of an engagement at the jrfothlnitbam theater, where tfioy will produce dur lug their stay in Scranton nearly all of tiiewoll known operai, Hie llackuy- Kenucy compauy has received favor able criticism everywhere and the strengthening of the chorus by tho adlitionof new members will maka the tronpo better than over. Lovers of comic opera in tlicity will be afforded an opportunity of enjoying tin o itchy music, brilliant costumes and harmless i'iu that character! Z3s lighter musical worKS to iiu-ir Hearts content, (luring tho season that will open on .Monday next, under most favorable conditions. The arrangements for ventilation arc such that managers of the Frothing ham can justly claim that they have one of the coolest, if not the coolest theatre in America. The first reiienrsal of the Babylonian chorus of the "Fall of Bibylon" in the various marches which will occur in the rendition of the oratorio took place ou the stage of the Frothingham under supervision of lallle Morgan on Satur day afternoon. I he young ladies, about 200 In number, acquitted thorn selves creditably, both in marching and in the singing of tho tuneful choruses Rehearsals will occur nt freqnmt in tervals until tho public rendition of tho oratorio, which will take place iu about two weeke. Seven different niiisioians filed appli cations for the position of organist at the First Presbyterian church during ttio coming summer months, over tiio period which Miss Seymour intends to remain in Lurope. The unoxneeted resignation of Miss Seymour, there fore, found mauy Hspirant-i for the plac. An organist will probably be selected this week to fill Miss Sey mour's plnce. e Mrs. Hunsickor, the soprano who is to sing at Miss Parker's eutortaiuiuent this evening at the Young Man's Chris t an Association hall, is a singor of su perior accomplishments. It is by hoar such artists that art is advanced in Scranton. e Ella Marie Dreager, the contralto engaged for Llui Park Methodist Epis copal church, will not begin her en gagement nntil Juno 15. Mrs, Alfred Conueli, whose services hav i given suoh universal satisfaction, sang for the last time on Sunday. Therefore the trio, Mrs, O'Brien, Mr. Thomas and Mr Wooler, will render tho music nntil the arrival of Miss Dreager. Miss Dreager will he warmly welcomed by Scranton musicians. For three years her stuiies were carried on in Boston, after which she j mraeved to Paris. lor two anil "ion iuuhio win prove an inspiration In addition to her Accomplishments as a musician Miss Dreager is also an artist of much ability with the brush and is a line French and German scholar. Begiunlug June 17, the quartette will render the vooal mnsio at Elm Park church, the chorus ohoir having been disbanded. Mr. George B. Carter will hereafter have charge of the choir and has already in view, the ronderlng of the "Messiah." Whilo preparing this great work, Mr. Carter txpocts to have the quartette ting several Bible stories less pretentious aud more familiar such as ' tiueen Esther," "Joseph in Bond age," etc. Mr. Carter's ability to ar range any thing lie undertake! is not doubted, and the public tan expeot tome interesting musical events during the year. Miss Florence Richmond, the accom plished organist at Peon Avonne Bap tist church, has completed arrange monts for an organ recital, which will be given at the ehuroh on June 5. Mist Richmond will be assisted by Mrs. Kate Crossin-O'Brien and T. M. Rip bard, the well known 'oelloist of Wllkes-Barre. Miss Richmond is one of the belt known tocompanists in Scranton and hss assisted materially in the suecess of many concerts that have been givou in this vicinity in the past, and there is no doubt that her Drat recital will be attended l ynn au dience that will attest her popularity as a representative Serunton musician. It will be of interest to musicians to hear that Mrs. Carl Alves made the hit of the aeaeon at tho celebrated musical festival held last week at Cin cinnati. The other artists comprised the famous soloist, Madam Emnis, Ben Davit and Watkin Mills, but Mrs. Alves far outclassed them. Mrs. Alves was the contralto at tho second concert at the opening or Elm Park Methodist Epltoopal church. Next Saturday ovening the first of tho summer concerts will occur at the Youni Men's Christian association roorun, when music will bo rendered by the Lawrence Bund, the large ohorns choir of the First Presbyterian chnrch, the Yonng Men's Christian Association Glet club and one or two well known soloists. The meeting will be of a so cial nature and both ladies and gentle men are invited. Admission will be onlv bv ticket, which can be had fret at tho Young Men's Christian associy ation office. These Saturday evening concerts will undoubtedly prove rer- popnlar, -:t Miscellaneous Notes: L. B.
