The Philadelphia Record felici tates its party upon the fact thnt it was so badly beaten in Maine chielly be cause 30,000 Democrats stayed away from the polls. If this is consolation, we have nothing to say. The Trick Will Fail. . Attention is called to the Philadel phia Press editorial reprinted else where on this page. Our Philadelphia contemporary, with its usual discern ment, picks out at once the weak point in Judge Merrifiold'a candidacy and strongly reinforces what The Tribune has said concerning the mildewed an tiquity of the Democratic nominee's economic trick. No other conclusion is to be drawn from the judge's atti tude with reference to the tariff than that he deliberately and with design is seeking to impose upon the voters of this congressional district. This, of course, Is upon the assump tion that he has read the last national platform of his party, which declared protection "fraudulent" and "uncon stitutional"; and that he is aware that the convention of one week ago, whose choice he was, reaffirmed and rein dorsed that platform before fixing upon him as Us leading candidate. To assume that he haa not read those two deliverances would be to do such vio lence to his reputation for Intelligence that we. must prefer to believe him simply guilty of a threadbare political attempt to toy with the confidences of his fellow citizens, after the fashion set by Mr. Amerman and in pursuance of the uniform custom of his predeces sors, no single one of whom has ever had the manhood to stand flat-footed on the free trade national platforms of his party, If protection be "fraudulent" and "unconstitutional;" if it be a "sham," as declared In the Chicago platform and re-affirmed by his party one week ago, how can Judge Merrifleld, while accepting the nomination on this plat form, declare himself a "Protection Democrat" and yet remain an honest man? How can he, at one and the same time, serve both God and Mam mon? How can he, in other words, be a protectionist and yet remain a free trader? The thing is impossible. Either he is deceiving us as to his De mocracy or else ho is deluding us as to his devotion to protection. In either case he dare not be trusted; for the man who would go back on his party's platform, before the Ink with which it was written was dry, would go back on his district if temptation were strong enough. Let us have a truce to this double shuffling. Let us know where we stand. Philadelphia milk dealers have raised the price of the lacteal fluid two cents a quart, because of the drought. The Quaker city dealers are to be con gratulated. Milk dealers are not usu illy so frank. New Use for Wheat. One of the effects of the corn scarcity will doubtless be the more general Utilization of Wheat for Btock feeding purposes, firan and shorts have loDg been in high favor; but, until recently, only in certain western states has the feeding of whole wheat come into fa miliar use. At wholesale, in Buffalo, for example, fifty-six pounds of corn cost 61 oeuts. The same number of pounds of good wheat cost 63 cents, making wheat decidedly the cheaper. When it is considered that wheat, for feeding hogs, is worth nearly 50 per cent, more than corn, the advantages of using the former become readily ap parent ' Those who have experimented "say that, for horses, wheat should first be soaked and crushed and fed one-half rfjpuchby measure as of oats. For cows and hogs, it is best when mixed with cut straw. Until the new corn is marketed, and during the drouth, it is evident that this method of utilizing wheat will prove valuable in many in stances. Should the outcome of the experiment be a greatly enlarged home demand for wheat, the benefits to the farmer would not need to be pointed out The dream of "dollar wheat," hold out, in 1890 and 1892, by Demo cratic campaign orators, may not be realized, but the grain market ought, after the success of this experiment, to once more take on a trend toward recovery. The youthful Due D'Orleans dis plays a hazardous disposition to inves tigate the French republic buzz saw. Says the rejuvenated Times: "The Australian ballot system is one of the greatest frauds ever imposed by the mugwump element in politics upon the American people. It is costly, it is no protection against fraud, it is laughed at by the professional ballot thieves of the cities, and it has got to go. " We pause to see it go, Listening to the siren's voice is a poor business in politics; particularly if the siren be of the opposite political faith. Get Up to Date. These are days when school directors' heads buzz with echoing suggestions for the improvement of the public schools. With curriculuins already so overcrowded that scarcely anything gets the study that it deserves, it re quires some hardihood to propose an addition to the list of subjects ordained for juvenile investigation. But others evince this hardihood; why shouldn't we? It occurs to us, in the course of a ran dom turning of the pages of this year's compactly edited Smull's baud book, that there are many things in that book which the average citizen of Pennsylvania ought to but doesn't know; things which are certainly of as much temporal importance to him as, let us say, the nebular hypothesis or the speculations of Newton upon the cause of the apple's fall. The stars will shine just as brightly, whether or not we all know that the illimitable universe is filled with cosmic dust; and apples fell long bf fore and long after the English mathematician, on a drowsy afternoon, was hit on the head by the law of gravitation. But not all of us, unfortunately, can vote an intel ligent ticket at the next election with out understanding something of the revised Baker law and knowing a por tion, at least, of the constitution of our state. There were a lot of jolly old fellows in Homer's time, and it doesn't hurt us a bit to read about them, in the Greek if we can, and in the limping English translations if we must; but after all, human nature today is the same as it was then, and we could learn just as much about it, besides saving several centuries of time, by studying, instead, the living Hectors and Achillesses and Priams and Helens who figure materially in the affairs of Anno Domini, 1894. A e'ean daily pa per and a well-bound copy of Bmull would, no doubt, look strange in a schoolroom beside the classic bards of Rome and ancient Illlum, or in the company of the learned metaphysi cians and quacks who befogged the people of the middle ages; yet why shouldn't they have an equal right there? Tallie Morgan wants singing added to the public school curriculum. We want Small. It is for the public to choose between us. It uas come to the point, says the Philadelphia Press, "where every man who has a dollar invested in enterprise and every man who earns his bread by labor must act in his own defense against an insane and ruinous policy which is to be continued until the peo ple, by their votes, makes its contiuu ance no longer possible." That is the exact issue. By your votes shall ye decide, That Boulevard Approach. The expected grading of Mulberry street out to the bridge which, after Oct 1, is to span Roaring brook and connect with the new Elmhurst boule vard, begun some time ago by the Scranton Traction company, in con junction with the city, has for some reason been interrupted. Street Com missioner Kirst stands ready to do his part of the work. What, then, causes the delay? The boulevard must have a respect able approach. It would have little use, otherwise. We Bhall expect the Bcfantou Traction company to carry out its promises in this matter, and to do so without unnecessary delay. By protecting the "green goods'"- swindlers of New York, Tammany po licemen in some instances "earned" as high as $450 a month apiece. The re cent testimony wherein this branch of Tammany iniquity was exposed gives new force to the demand for a complete and overwhelming cleaning out of the rogues and the fakirs who Buck out the substance of Gotham's political life. The ease with which the Ameri can nation has settled itself down to rpffular bc.Blness after the Bhock in flicted upon it by Jackson's refusal to flifht Corbett buows that there is no great calamity which fortitude cannot conquer. A shrewd man, is Gorman. Down In Baltimore the other day a furious onslaught was made upon him by the Cleveland element, through their mouthpiece, the Sun. The fight was carried into the Fif A district congres sional convention. The Sun people sat up nights to frame a platform bit ter enough in its denunciation of Gor man. Gorman, meanwhile, attended strictly to business The Sun people got their resolutions adopted and Gor man got his man nominated for con gress. They had the fireworks and he the Blue Polut. A shrewd man, is Gorman. . New Yobk is Republican this year for the name reason that the rest of the couutry is. It cannot allbrd to be otherwise. Says"IIolhnd"i "Money will not count for much In this cam paign. The trick that was played three years ago of hiring one Republi can in every school district to stay away from the polls will be unavailing if at tempted this year, for the current of the independent and unpurchasable vote sets overwhelmingly to the Re publicans, and there Is no man brought In contact with men who have hither to been business Democrats who does not know that there are thousands and thousands of them who will not vote at all or else will plump a straight Re publican ticket" Mr. Singerly has figured it all out that the recent panic was "due to ex citement of the imagination wrought upon by unscrupulous calamity-mongers for the purpose of manufacturing party capital, with cynical disregard of consequences." We assume that Mr. Singerly refers to the Democratic calamity howlers of 1889 and 1890. Candidate Singerly intimates that he would be happy if he could keep Hastings' plurality down to 75, 000, but the chances are he is in for an acute attack of grief. POLITICAL NOTES. This interesting editorial appeared In yesterday's Philadelphia Press: "We learn from the Bcranton Tribune that Judge Merrifleld declares himself to be n protec tion Democrat. The chief significance in such a declaration lies in the fact that in making it Judge Merrifleld acknowledge) thnt the Democratic party cannot have tbo support of the people in its light to wipe out protection; that as a Democratio candidate be would have no standing in the Eleventh district unless he substantially repudiated the platform and purpose of his party. In this view Judge Merrifleld show a Rood deal of in telligent discernment, but he does not go far enough with ' bis declaration to enable the people to have any confidence in it. It is no longer possible for any Democrat to act with his party on its present platform and be a protectionist. Protec tion has been declared unconstitutional by the Democracy in its national convention and by the Democrats of Pennsylvania in state convention. Judge Merrifleld will not be elected. But if he could ba he would vote for the Democratic caucus nominee tor speaker of the next house, and it bis cholco should be elected speaker he knows that another such committee on ways and means as that of the present house would be appointed; that nnder President Cleveland's publicly proclaimed purpose to 'carry ou the war to the end.' there would be further attempts at tariff legislation in the direction of free trade. Can Judge Merrifleld g'Ve any assurance that he would not so vote? Can he pledge himself that as a pro tectionist he would support for sneaker a protectionist like Thomas B. Heed instead of a Georgia freo trader like Charles F. Crisp? That is the test by which bis protection pretenses must be tried. Anything short of that is the mer est effort to trick the people of the dis trict. The time hus gone by when the people can be fooled on this question. They were cheated iu 1802, but the mis fortunes and distress which have attended a year and a half of Democratio adminis tration have undeceived them. Evry man who votes for a Democraiic candidate now votes to wipe out protection and to assist President Cleveland to carry on the war until the pledges in the Democratic plat form have been fulfilled. I( Jude Merri fleld is a protectionist he has no business to be seeking election to congress a a Democrat: if he is not a protectionist he is not honest with the people of the district in pretending to be one." The chances ;of beating JIcAleer with Halterman appear good, notwithstanding Democratic reports to the contrary. The Third congressional district auve Paul son 2,60? plurality over Delamater fr governor; Magistrate Laduer 2.718 plu rality over Stuart for mayor, and Cleve land 2,803 plurality over Harrison for presideut. The difference between the lowest and highest of these pluralities is only 195. The only word that went Re publican in any of those three elections whs the Fifth, where the Democrats were defeated every time by pluralities that do not vary largely, Dela mater's having been COO, Htuart's773 and Harrison's 056. From nearly 8,000 Democratic plurality in each of those years the congressional district took a bacic somersault last November to a plurality of 941 given to Clement, Repub lican, for sheriff, agninst William Find lay Brown. Four words went Republican, the Fourth by 239; Fifth, 857; Twelfth, 2; and (Sixteenth, 7. The Democratic plurali ties of the other four wards wer: Third, 55; Sixth, 59; Eleventh, 2, and Seven teenth, 08. The present registration in the district exceeds the total sheriff vote 13.000 and the presidential vote by over 6,400. With decision ami unity Republi cans ctn win and this they at last propose to do. The rejnvenated Scrnnton Times ap peared yesterday under the new manage ment, consisting of William R. Bell ss business manager and Colonel Samuel E. Hudson as editor. The Times is a member of the new Associated Press, has an ai tist on its staff who makes labelled cartoons and is sprightly and bright in its presenta tion of the news. It is such a paper as the Democracy oi jjacicawunua county ought to support, it it possesses sufficient dis cernmeut to appreciate a good tbintr: and . for an initial number yesterday's issue was such a premonition of contemplated im provements as will make the Times' es teemed contemporaries, including Tub Tribune, keep their eyes open. There I room, however, for all of us. Our molt' is, "The more the merrier;" and perditloi; seize the hindmost. To Messrs. Hudson and Bell, local newspnper men, without political distinction, extend the band of fellowship, hoping they may meet with such prosperity as they shall deserve. Editor Muoney, who now retire) has shown bimself a fearless and capable Jour nalist, whose future in the profession is not in doubt. Candidate Slncorlv now has the lansli on Tom Collins, Democracy's secoud chpicu for congressman-at-large. At the time ot 1 the nomination of Mr. Singerly as gov-' ernor by the June convention, lays the ! Philadelphia Times, Mr. Collins embraced the occasion to telepraph bis compliments from Bellefonto, when ho said: "Dear Siugerly. Stick to the ticket. It 1b your j Democratic duty." On the nomination of Mr. Collins last Tuesday by the recalled convention at Harrisburg, CaudiduM 1 Singerly had a magnificent opportunity to return the favor, and he did so in tbo same kind of a laconic message, in which he said: "Dear Collins. Slick to the ticket. It is more than ever your Demo- ' cratic duty." When Mr. Collins read tbo message be was tickled all to pieces, and on the day that he met Mr. Singerly he mads this observation: "By the Eternal, Singerly, the both of us will stick till we can't stick any morel" Alex F. Conuell, tbe popular South Sid councilman, has at last deferred to the wishes of Mend who have desired him to enter the Second district legislative race. He will therefore be a candidate before next Tuesday's convention. Mr. Connell has already evluced his popularity iu mu nicipal politics, and hopes to be able to make a oorreraondiugly good shewing iu tbe larger arena. There Is talk of appealing to tbe Re publican state committee to aid In break ing the Sixteenth Congressional district conference deadlock, which, after ISO bal lot stands rigid In this ratio: Packer, 6; Lewis, 3; and Hopkins, V, It Is to be hoped such an appsal Will not bi neces sary. Tbe Republicans of the d Is trio t ought to be able to select the candidate who is to represent them, withont outside Influence. There are too many deadlooks nnder the conferree system. Sentiment is bound soon to favor a change. i This is bow tbe Philadelphia Press dis misses a weak attack: "The Democratio papers undertake to make a comparison between Charles R. Bnckalew and that young veteran, Galusba A. Grow. Why, Mr. Urow is right up to date all the time. He now contemplates being a candidate for president." Grow for president would prove a winning cry. One of tbe perennially amusing things In this campaign is to observe tbe sndden holiness of the Democratio bosses. One would imagine, from their Sunday organ ette and otuer screeches, that they were a flock ot little cherubs just waiting to be kissed and put to bed. PITV HIS NUMEROUS WOES, Wilke$-B.irrt Record. Candidate Singerly is badly handicapped In more ways than oue. As the leader ot the Democracy's battered remnant in Pennsylvania he is compelled, much against his will, to swallow the Senate tariff law, which on the day of hit nom ination be denounced as being "seamed with iniquity." Having gulped down that nauseous dose, it is no wonder that his stomach Is now in condition to retain al most anything. Thinks Silver Is Unsettled, WaMnatvn rost.
