Mr. Cleveland, since learning the Maine returns, in understood to be con vinced that it is ft condition, not a platitude, which confronts him. The Same Old Trick. Judge Merrifield says he is a "Pro tection Democrat." The Democratic national platform, adopted at Chicago and re-indorsed last Tuesday in Scran ton, says that protection is "fraudu lent" and "unconstitutional." Judge Murrifield, therefore, is u fraudulent Democrat and an unconstitutional Democrat; and the party which forced this Humiliation upon him stands self convicted before the voters of Lacka wanna county of a stultification seldom equalled even by the quick-action traddlers of Pennsylvania Democracy. The shrewd citizen can be buncoed once, but not twice at the same game. Sir. Aniermau, too, was a "Protection Democrat" He was a "Protectionist" until election; afterward, he became to all practical purposes an arrant free trader, supporting free wool and doing nny thing else that the freo trade bosses of his party commanded him to do. 1 fines, in Luzerne, was another "Pro tection Democrat," who howled one way and voted the other. What as surance have wo that Mr. Mcrrilield is not trying ouco more to manipulate the same old trick? It has cost tho country f 4,000,000,000 during tho past two years to ascertain that the Democratic party dared not be trusted. Bomo of this cost was paid by Lackawanna county paid in wages lowered, in employment lost, in busi ness downcast and in conlldence gone. The Democratic party, through its president and through his legislative lieutenant, Mr. Wilson, of West Vir ginia, says that this carnival of incom petent tariff tinkering must go on un til protection la a thing of the past. Isn't it cheeky, then, for Judge Merri fleld to come before the people of this district and say to them: 'Vou needn't fear me; I am a Democrat.but my Democracy doesn't count, for I am a 'Protection Democrat of the Sam Itaudall school?' " Away with such deadly trilling! Let Usliave done with such uauseatiug and such hurtful sham. The cownov evangelist, Rice, whose mission upon earth seems to be to make himself as troublesome as possible, with a view to the notoriety thus obtained, lias been indicted by the Atlantic City grand jury for disorderly conduct. If he could be legally punished for arrant hypocrisy, it would be a wholesome thing for the religiou that he makes a cloak for unseemly purposes. A Lesson from Esop. The present socialistic outcry of the Democratic party against the employ ers of the land, well illustrated iu the Income tax and in the opprobrious epithets of Cleveland and Singerly, reminds us of a fable. "In former days," says yEsop, "when all a man's limbs did not work together as amica bly as they do now, but each had a will and a way of its own, the Mem bers generally began to find fault with the Belly for spending an idle, luxuri ous life, while they were wholly occu. pled In laboring for its support, and ministering to its wants and pleasures; so they entered into a conspiracy to cut off its supplies for the future. The Hands were no longer to carry food to the Mouth, nor the Mouth to receive the food nor the Teeth to chow it. "They had not long persisted iu this course of starving the Belly into sub- Joction ere they all began, one by one, to fail and flag, and the whole body to pine away. Then the Members were convinced that the Belly also, cumber lome and useless as it seemed, bad an important function of its own ; that they could no more do without it than it could do without them; and that if they would have the constitution of the body in a healthy state, they must work together, each in his proper sphere, for the common good of all." The industrial members of the body politio, such, for Instance, as the lum ber industry, the coal mining Indus, try and the wool growing industry are not to be long starved by the cotton growing Industry, tho sugar trust in dustry, tho olllce-seeking industry, und the political tramp industry without weakening the whole constitution of the nation's prosperity, the Philadel phia Kecord's proprietor to the con trary notwithstanding. The uii-REssroN is growing that Mr. Depew is talking too much. Mu. Robathan, whose interesting impressions of foreign customs appear elsewhere, shows himself not only a keen observer, but a most sprightly and graphic reporter. The union of a quick eye with a nimble wit and a facile pen is an event worthy of more than passing notice. That union is what gives us Mr. Robathau's letter. The esteemed Pittston Gazette is convinced that tho couucilmen of its town are all Dure, child like and bland. The Gazette, we fear, Judges others by itself. Improve the Fire Department. Tho big fire of Saturday hits quick ened interest iua number of subjects connected with Scrauton's lire-lighting forces. It has newly demonstrated tho magnificeut fidelity, skill and courage of tho volunteer members of the local department, and as it has done this it lias simultaneously in creased the popular demand for a more substantial public recognition of their worth. The Reran ton fire department should be a paid department. Every man in it should be compensated for his serv ices and perfected in his training there for. What other city of the country, of corresponding size, gives so little in cash in return for so much in brave, unflinching and ellective work? The Sciauton fire department should enjoy the security of a firemen's pen sion fund, municipal or state or both. The men who voluntarily risk their lives for others should be protected against want in case of mishap. In case of death their families should be protected. This is only fair. It is what the nation does for her war vet erans and what any decent private employer would do, up to the limit of his ability, for a worthy employe in jured or killed in tho line of duty. The municipality cannot well afford to be mean in this matter. One smaller suggestion has been made that nevertheless is important in its way. The firemen, while at work, should be provided by the city with food and refreshment. Private hospi tality, in time of fires, is often liable to be interrupted. It does not breed aus piciously amid turmoil and excitement. The men who contribute so generously of their labor and daring ought not to depend for nourishment during ardu ous service ujiou some private citizen's thoughtfulness. The city itself should maintain an adequate commissariat. It is money saved to be liberal with firemen. The cost of their proper maintenance is a small percentage upon tho practical good that they achieve, upon the dollars and cents, if you please, that they save from de struction. "When business improves," says Mr. Singerly's Record, "there should be a responsive improvement in wages." Humph! Do you see ii? Statistics compiled by the bureau of statistics show that during August our exports of brcadstuf Is amounted to $10,851,3."!0 against 22,92U,34S a year ago and for eight months ended Au gust last to $85,348,714 against $120,301, 102 for the corresponding period of 1S03. This is what comes from "reach ing out for the markets of the world" with a Democratic reach. The formation is urged of an anti cigarette league in every school district in America. It would not bo needed if the parental lash were duly rein forced by hygiene and common sense. Exit One Moral Leper. Tlie way of the transgressor is hard, even in Kentucky. Tho defeat of Breckiuri(go at Saturday's primaries did more than save the people of the Lexington district from the necessity of whipping him at tho polls; it vindi cated the manhood of the entire south, which was arraigned by Breckinridge's candidacy, and established a new and conspicuous mile-post iu the cause of honest reform. Especially praiseworthy Is the share which women have taken iu this moral victory. Never before, in so public a fashion, have the fundamen tal laws of social decency and social justice bqen so audaciously and so im pertinently defied as they were in the impudent demand of this Kentucky adulterer for the suffrages of a respect able people. Never before,ln tho history of American politics, has it been ren dered possible for a candidate for pub lic office thus brazenly to hold up, for weeks, and to shame, tho honor and the purity of the American home. That the women of his district should resent this was nothing less than a prime duty of self protection. In that bloodless battle of prayer aud entreaty they have done a service to American liberty not less heroic and not less magnificent than was done by the rev olutionary fathers upon the battlefields of the war for American independence. Let no man be so lost to decency as to sneer at this memorable result. Bad as our politics Is and far from perfec tion as all of us are, it is not yet time to say that the Christian ideals of per sonal purity and social cleanness dare be overthrown in the circles of our public men. It was not Breckinridge, the Democrat, but Breckinridge, the impudent and boastful leper, who has been humiliated. That his support should have been at any time formid able Is a reproach to American morals which years of penitence will not ef face. "The Attk.hpt f fwrew down wages nt this time for political efl'ect In -Novemner," says tlio rniiadeipnia Record, "is a most lamentable evi- deiK'e of lieiirtlissiuuu nn llu mirr, (if those who engage iu it." Does it look reasonable, jir. Singerly, tnat wages Would hlivn to h "j'rpu-prl down" merely to produce a "political effect" wiucu is inevitable anyhow' iou talk like the socialist, dear sir; not like a philosopher. POLITICAL NOTES. Tbe Republican couuty organization proposed on Friday aud completed Satur- , day is received with general favor. Colonel . H. Hippie's acceptance of tbe county ahairrnauBliip will mean the bring ing to tbe work of tne county canvass of tbe same energy, persistence and capacity fur executive duties that Colonel Hippie Has shown in privato business relations and in tbe military position where tie has brought an inland regiment up to tbe bighudt rank in the militia of the country. Tbe selection of W. S. liillur for secretary insures discrimination aud Indefatigable labor in that exacting department, while the choice of ex-Postmaster D. M. Jones for treasurer typifies the bridging of pnst differences within tho party and assures general confidence iu the management of the campaign finances. .In this connection a word of grateful recognition is due ibe efficient and hurd-working rotiring chair man, . W. Powell, and to bis associates, Secretary J. W. Drowning and Treasurer John Charles Miller, lately deceased. Un der trying circumstunreB Chairman Powell remained master of himself and of the situation, inud by superior capacity for organization has added much to the brightness of the present outlook. By an error of the typos Saturday TnE Timil.NK was made to hay that Kenreseu tative liurke carried the Fourth district last time by about 000. The "U" should have been a "0." His exact plurality was Otil. Cleveland's plurality iu the district was only W.l and (trow carried it iu Feb ruary by l,oU0, running inoro that 501) ahead of tho vote cast for IJarri-ion in 1SD-. John U. AIcAvkle has, it is understood, do oden to withdraw from tbe contest for the Republican nomination to be made ouo week Irotu tomcrrow nt Jormyn, which leaves I buries P. C Malley, of Oly pliant, practicully iu possesion of tho field. Mr. U'iUalloy is sanguine of success. At the Chicago convention of 1S38, W. O. Owen, of luOgsiiBnort, then congress man from the tenth Indiana district, and a national delegate, was prostrated by a seveio sunstroke, llo has never boon iu vigorous heultb since. Now, while a can didate for secretary of state of Indiana, be has had a relapse, baa had to quit his can vats, and is recuperating in n sanitarium at Rattle Crock, Mich. Mr. Owen is one of tho most plea dug campaign orators in tho country, is a gentleman of tbe first rank, and has as many friends as bo has acquaintances. Eastern Republicans will wish him speedy restoration, crowned by a triumphant election. Anotbor instance of tho deadly deadlock duo to the conferroe system is supplied by the Forty-ninth judicial district, compris ing Center and Huntingdon counties. Here the Republican couferrees have been at loggerheads for weeks; and tbe Center county candidate, John U. Love, has tried in vain to reach an agreement with the Huntingdon county candidate, K. A. Lov ell, to refer the matter once again to tbe Republican voters of the district. Tonight, at Tyrone, an attempt will be made to let tbe six couferrees choose a seventh, he to decide, but us success is doubtful. Monroe II. Kulp, of Shamokin, with whom the Republicans of the Seventeenth district will oppose Charles R. Buckalew, the Democratic) candidate for congress, is a clean-cut business man, possessing the confidence of his neighbors and appealing strongly to tho common-sense element throughout the district. Air. Huckalow, from a political Btaudpoint, represents tbe pnst tonse, which, however glorious, is be yond recall. If the people of tho Seven teenth district wantsolid and capable work in the Fifty-fourth congress, they will eloct Air. huip; lr they want reminiscences they will elect Mr. Buckalew. Says the Philadelphia Racord: "Asa result of the use of money at the recent Republican convention in Lackawanna county, William T. Jenkins makes his dissatisfaction manifest by announcing himself as an independent candidate for sheriff. The use of money to defeat the popular desire is abhorrent. Mr. Jenkins is on the right track and we trust he will stick." It will be Dews in this section that Mr. Jenkins was "dished" by the "use or money." uis name aia not even get before tbe convention. The Record is growing funny. Chairman Oilkeson and the state candi dates propose to open the executive as well as tbe oratorical part of the campaign in earnest today, and a redhot fight will be Kept up from that time until election day. it is the purpose of Chairman (Juke son and of General Hastings to make tbe canvass of the state as complete as it has ever been made, and no effort will be spared to get every Republican to tbe polls iu order tbat the doteat administered to tbe Democracy may be the most crushing it uas ever received. 35 With the convention eight days off, strong pressure is being bronght to bear upon Lieutenant Uovernor Watres to in duce him to accept another nomination at tho bauds of Twentieth Senatorial district Republicans. Governor Watres' popular ity iu tbe district does not need to be demonstrated by tbe citation of . past re turns. It is known and felt everywhere. The considerations which have induced him to give this question careful thought are wholly of a business nature and bear no relation to fear of tbe result. Tbe Republican state canvass will optn for serious business tonight at Emporium. General Hastings will speak and so will Charles F. Warwick, of Philadelphia; Gau eral James W. Lntta, Congressman Charles W. Stone, of Warren, nud Harry Hall, of Mercer. From Emporium General Hust ings will run up to Bradford, the big city iu the oil couutry of McKean, and Wed ties nesday evening he will be at Clarion. The party travels ou rogular trains. The Static Field in Urief: Galuaba A. Grow believes that Hast ings will beat his own record of February. Chairman Stranahan will open his morgue In parlor G. Lafayette hotel, Phil adelphia, this morning. Tbe Philadelphia Press is cruel enonrh to bint tbat it thought Buckalew was o d enough to know better. Tooth Legislative district Republican leaders bave changed their mind, it i, said, and will let Frank M. Rltar return. Sibley's slyness, it is said, is meant to ward off tbe party strikers, upon whom he has already expended enough of his cash. General Frank Rseder is to take charge of the Eighth district Republican fight and tench Hart, of Pike, a thing or two about politics, Senator Quay now gives the Democrats five congressmen in this commonwealth; on election day, though, he'll give 'em about one. Van Scoy and Hines have carried their point iu the Kingston postoffloe fight; and tbe former will get not only tbe Balary but also the rent. ' Simon P. Light, of Lebanon, is disposed to sacrifice himself upon the alur of Democracy's need for a candidate for con gress in the Fourteenth district. Last time the Democrats of Philadelphia had four members of the legislature out of thirty-nine; this time they'll be lucky if they i gut two. One of 'em, at leust, is marked for slaughter "Foghorn" John H. Fow . William Ehringer is the name of his coming Republican oonqutror. Billy Hines' boast that there wasn't a more loyal cuckoo in Washington than he would be more apropos if the people of Luzerne wanted cuckoos this year. Ex-Collector Conner fluures it out that Delaware county will neod to give Hast ings 6,'JOO plurality iu order to float Judge Clayton through. It gave Grow only 1,0M. FIFTY-CENT DOLLARS. Philadelphia Prea, This administration, which has cost the country no one knows how many billion dollars, saved 28, 000, 000 last year by re ducing the peusion rolls. Mr. Carlisle is now engaged in a new economy, and In creasing bis revenues. During July and August he has coined 1.100. W0 silver 50. cent dollars, and has used the profit ou Beigmorage to pay the ordinary expenses of the government. This is done under the authority of tbe amended act of July, l&H). which Mr. Carlisle refused to execute during a portion of last year. The only administration which ever made 50-cent dollars is tbe present one, under the direc tion of Grover Cleveland, a gold mono metallism who was quite shocked about 50-cent dollars in the past when nobody was making thorn.
