Owen, ltepublican can didate for secretary of state in Indiana, that "no party by whose system of gov ernment sugar goes up U centra pound and wheat declines to 40 cents per bushel can hope to be returned to power." Warren as League President. The cordial and unanimous selection at Harrisburg, yesterday, of Vice Pres ident Everett Warren, of this city, for president of the Statu League of lie publican clubs, in succession to Repre. sentative John B. Itobinson, was a compliment worthily bestowed. It flatters Scranton; it rewards its recipi ent for good and steady service in the league ranks; and, most of all, It Is the token of what we believe will be a new and happy era in the history of the league itself. Asked his opinion of the State league and its work, Major Warren recently Bald: "It can be made an admirable auxiliary in the education of the younger voters in ltepublican prin ciples; but the league should remain within its proper province and not permit itself to be used as the nursery for any man's personal ambitions. I do not mean by this that the ltepublican who is earnest and etlicient in league work should necessarily be debarred from hope of party preferment. But I regard it as a false notion that the league should be restricted In its scope to the campaign necessities of any man or number of men who would like to use the league merely as a means to the attainment of their own ends. My idea of loyalty is so strong that, rather than be the means of crippling the use fulness of this splendid organization' of the aggressive young ltepublican ism of our commonwealth, I would willingly forego any political aspirations of my own which might clash with the league's best interests; and I think this should be the spirit throughout." This, pithily expressed, is President Warren's platform; and backed by his earnest and aggressive personality, it ought to mean much la league circles. The danger of the league lies in the fear that it may not become practical. The young blood of the Republican party In this commonwealth is in no danger of failing with respect to en thusiasm; but enthusiasm without ex perience, without organization, with out system, purpose aud discretion, is of minor value. If hard work, clear aim and the faculty which inspires others to better achievement can im prove the every-day usefulness of the State league and make It a more val uable auxiliary than before, In the bat tles of principle which are to be fought under the banner of the Republican party, President Warren will bring these qualifications to his new position of trust; and Republicanism every where will be, by that much, the gainer. The Washington Post, during the Pythian encampment at the capital, printed the best souvenir issues we have ever seen but, then, the Post has iaiieu bo deeply Into the habit of ex celling that we dare say it cannot stop. The Wane of Summer. The Individual who has not con sulted the almanac with regularity can scarcely realize that the summer of 1894 has passed and that autumnal days are upon us. It is seldom in the recollection of the oldest inhabitant that the waning of summer has been marked by the serenity of the present season. Through June, July and August the sun has shone In undlmmed splendor; the temperature has been high and higher, never, as It Is wont in ordinary summers, dropping suddenly down to a point suggestive of rheumatism and winter garments. Throughout the past month there has been no sugges tion of the chilling blasts of Novem ber save in the mournful song of the cricket at nightfall. Early twilights have come and vegetation has long since lost its springtime freshness, yet the smoky haze that softens the rays of noontide sunlight alone betokens the nearness of autumn. The past has indeed been a golden summer and it merges into the au tumnal season with the calmness and grace of the Ideal hurvest moon that rises majestioally in the eastern skies, bathing the hilltops with mellow light Anxious members of the local De mocracy who had hoped for an exhibi tion of wrath at Tuesday's convention and expected to find the streets alive with bolters yesterday have been grievously disappointed. Republicans of Lackawanna county have one ob ject in view this fall aud that is the planting of Democracy so deep in hard pan that it will never again take root. Any little differences that may exist within the lines of Republicanism will not be adjusted in a manner that M ill benefit the enemy this year. Patriotic voters have other business on hand. Another Object Lesson. Whatever may be the trutli or exag geration of the reports to the effect that the citizen soldiery of Pennsylvania was insufficiently supplied with rations, both in quality and quantity, during the recent Gettysburg encamp ment, the statement suggests addition al proof of the superiority und discip line of our National guard, considered in connection with divers other circum stances which tended to make the soldiers' outing anything but a bed of roses. During the entire week the com missary department made a miserable failure, the transportation delays were tedious aud exasperating, dust and heat greeted the men upon their ar rlvul, mud aud grime afterward ap peared, aud during it all, these soldiers who had had little of campaigning wereexpected to thrive upon rations fa1' below the standard furnished to Uncle Sam's regulars. That the hospitals were not overcrowded, that the men were not lax and sullen, and that they did not fail to maintain theirhigh per centage as a militia is certainly not the fault of attending circum stances. Their entire experience in camp was simply a practical con firmation of the superiority claimed for Peunslyvania's guardsmen over any citizen soldiery organization in tills country and possibly anywhere. While, primarily, the periodical en campments of the National guard are to give the soldiers practical lessons in the formations aud evolutions which can only be undertaken on a small scale in home quarters, the executive stall" expects that the men will pre pare for and realize a reasonable pro portion of fun. During the massing of the troops at Gettysburg men un accustomed to hardships went through a mill of bad food, bad weather and practical drilling with credit to them selves aud with honor to theirstatejiand clinched more securely the reputation they enjoy for everything good im plied in the word "soldier." Althoughjthe claim of the superiority of Pennsylvania's National guard was presented with faith and seriousness a number of years ago, the authorities of other states shrouded their accept ance of it by restriction to the hard service endured by our boys at Home stead. People at large believed Penn sylvania possessed a militia of high grade, but they rather liked to believe that the reputation was acquired through "unexpected but fairly effi cient service at Homestead." After the recent encampment, surrounded by a halo of infelicitous features, the medicine must be swallowed and the corn acknowledged. Official, local and general reports of that week's ex perience of mud, parching dust and nightmare provender puts another nail in the assertion that Pennsylva nia's soldiers are soldiers; that they are unequaled in their class and that these two facts are important in their scope aud significance. In perusing dispatches from the scene of the Korean war it is not diffi cult to determine which side frames the reports. In fact the accounts are so directly at variance that many readeis are beginning to suspect that the battles between the Chinese aud Japs are fought entirely on paper. Hero of the Fires. Since the Johnstown flood no calam ity in tills country has carried with it the horrors that could equal the scenes during the terrible forest llres of Min nesota. The condition of the unfortu nate victims of the conflagration sur rounded by clouds of flame from which there was no escape, is something that can scarcely be realized. More merciless aud sudden than black death the sea of fire burst upon the helpless people, giving no time for preparation for the inevit able doom that awaited them. It will probably be days yet ere the full horror the disaster will be known. Relief parties aud burial trains And new vie tims almost hourly, and the death list is swelling at each additional report. Like other calamities of a terrible nature, the Minnesota horror has de veloped the hero. In marked contrast with the fiendish ghouls who have al ready been discovered roaming over the devastated region, robbing the dead of the few trinkets that remained about their charred bodies, is the hero Ism of Engineer Best, who ran his train into a burning village, aud after taking on a number of fleeing people backed the cars to a place of safety while the flames of the burning cab on his engine blistered his bands and face. No hero of ancient or modern times is more worthy of a memorial statue than this brave man who fell fainting at the end of the race after rescuing a number of helpless people from a hor rible death. Such acts as these afford a measure of consolation in demon strating that true heroism still exists in the land. Dispatches from Blueflelds would seem to indicate that the festive Ameri can and British residents of tropical Nicaragua need a little correction from home governments. In this, as Well as other countries of its class, the white settlers are altogether too free to mix into politics. They are prone to take sides with this or that petty aspirant for political honors, and when their heads are In danger, hurriedly rush to the ships that guard their country's in terests in the foreign ports and demand protection. There is too much of this nonsense going on in countries ruled by little monarchs or cbiefs,aud it seems about time that these ambitious poli ticians who are constantly drawing United States authorities into trouble by meddling with the affairs of the countries in which they are temporarily residing, should be made to understand that If they must mix in all'airs of state it will be safer for them to return to this country where ward politics offer ample opportunity for a display of statesmanship of that order, without involving half so much trouble. In his speech at Peru last week, for mally Initiating the Indiana campaign, Hon. W. D. Owen elucidated one point In this "tariff reform" campaign that is frequently overlooked. "Loadaship with freight at Liverpool," said he, "bring the vessel to New York, and when you have paid for the freightage unload that vessel, transfer that cargo of products to a train of a cars and have the railroad carry it into the Interior of the country as far as the amount you paid for the ocean freight will carry it. How far do you suppose it will take It? About sixty miles. England is sixty miles from the United States. Wages in Englaud, on the average, are 07 per cent, cheaper than in this country. If the purposes of Wilson and Cleveland shall be carried out and the Protective tariff barriers torn down, how lougwill we be able to produce goods against the country that pays G7 per cent, less wages than we do?" It is well to bear this pertinent question in mind. Managers op county fair enter prises are not making much noise this season. The county fair is evidently losing its grip upon the average tiller of the soil, who is beginning to realize that there is not much in modern fairs for any one save the fakir. There is moist suggestlveness in the statement that the price of milk has been increased on account of the scarcity of water about the country. Latest advices announce that the king of Siam is not dead; but It is evi dent that he is very tired. DEMOCRACY'S FIRST ACT. Hon. H". D. Uun,at Peru, Ind. Vbeu th Wilson letter was written, men said we have anotbor GeneralJack Bon ia the presidential chair. Mr. Cleve land will never sign that bill after baying assailed it ai he has. Had "Old Hickory" been in the white house he would have met the messenger from tne senate bear ing the bill on the front portico, written across its back "veto," Isaiil good-bye to the messenger with the tip of his boot and ordered him to report to his recreant mas ters. In letting the bill become a law without his signature Mr. Cleveland felt the pressure of public condemnation, and wrote a letter of confession aud avoidance to General Catch in t'. He again stigma tized the bill as the "communism of pelf." But when be had written that letter on Monday night he went to bed, when only one word from him could have saved the country. He was tired and went to bed. and when the clock struck twelve and he was slumbering in the arms of official in difference, the "communism of pelf,' took its seat in the presidential chair, and the first recorded act in the drama of Demo cratic reform was "perfidy and dishonor." NOT DUE TO ACCIOENT. F.x-Speaker ThomatB Seed. Men begin to see now that the prosper ity of thl country was not a matter of course, a thing which happened of itself, but has been the result of sensible mea sures, of a sound system and a wise fore cast. However short the Republican party may have come of perfection, it governed, on the whole, wisely and well, and we shall soon see its like again. ITS CHARACTER GONE. Ex-Speaker Thomat B. Reed. Such misunderstandings as these be tween tbo president and senate, if Repub lican, would have caused a sensation as of burned woolen among the people; but the Democracy has limitations as to morality very much enlarged.
