"We ought to realize by this tlmo that
wo shoulJ not do our work nor tnnko our
loans in Europe Let tis pluco what op
tion wo novo with our own capitalists
and our orders with our own tuanufuc
turers, who. In tho past, have boon always
abundantly nblo to meet every need and
demand of tho government onJ of the
people."-Governor Wllllum Mckinley,
at Uartford,
That Victory at Wiikes-Barre.
The magnificent victory of the Scran
ton United choir at the Concordia els
toddfod In Wllkes-Darre yesterday is a
signal tribute, first to the efficiency of
the choral singers of this city and to
their good Judgment In brUglns: pjist
chasms; and secondly, to t.ie.r pains
taking and indefatigable conductor,
John T. Watklns, who v.HI h?reaftor
rank among the very foremast direc
tors in the world.
It Is hardly possible to c::ap;gprate
the eignlflcance of this victory. It is a
victory won against s'.ir.rp, l-.eon ind
dcermlned. competition, vaged by
singers to little less effective than our
own that the slightest falling ofC on the
part of the Scranton choir would cer-
talnly have turned the scale. In so far
as victors may compliment a valiant
and courteous foe, flit Scranton choral
singers desire to acknowledge the
superb merit of their chief competitors,
the voices of Wllkes-Barre, and to as
sure them that the prize would gladly
have been conccd3d to them could it
have been done without self-deroga
tion.
It Is to be hoped that the success
whlca has attended the recent healing
of kcal differences among our Welsh
singers will be a sufficient proof of the
' wisdom of harmony and good fellow
ship to perpetuate both. In union Ls
strength, victory aad high honor; in
disunion there is only weakness. The
so pleasant that It ought never to be
forgotten.
One Live Han's Work.
...
Even . those who ara prejudiced
against the present New York city ad
ministration are forced to bear testi
mony to the efficient and business-like
work of Theodore Roosevelt as presi
dent ctf fVfhLm'n hithertn urnntatan-
tory police' board. The refreshing ex
ample of personal energy and thor
oughness set by this splendid young
American can hardly fall to prove bene
ficial In every city In the country.
A fine tribute to President Roosevelt
Is paid by "Holland" In a recent letter
from New York to the Philadelphia
Press. After noting that the young re
former has already, by his untlrlnjr dili
gence, virtually assumed command of
the entire) police force, thus realizing
In effect the desired centralization of
authority In that department which
was denied in law by Mr. Piatt's recent
legislature, he continues: "Mr. Roose
velt expects, so long as he Is president
of th board, to attend not only to the
perfunctory and routine duties which
come before him, but to be here, there
and everywhere, a terror for those who
are negligent or vicious, but the best
friend of those members of the force
who want to do their duty. Already he
has gained the res pet and confidence
of the worthy patrolmen, and there are
a good many of them. They have dis
covered that, while Insisting upon the
strictest discipline, be Is not unmindful
of the comfort of the men, and proposes
not only to protect them In all their
tights, but to grant them reasonable
privileges."
This observant correspondent further
testifies that "already an improvement
In morale and a better spirit prevails
throughout the force. Roosevelt has a
personality and a sort of Impetuous en
thusiasm that causes him constantly to
do something which puts him in the
public eye, although- no man Is freer
from affectation or posing than he. His
experience of the other evening which
was reported, and In some Instances
With a rather free hand, illustrates that
disposition of his. No other police com
missioner. exceDtlne Erhardt. has ever
wandered forth In the still hours of the
night that ! might see with his -own
eyes what the discipline of the force In
the' small hours was. Mr. Roosevelt's
prowling around the city and facing big
and gruff and Insolent policemen who
were neglecting their duty, and whom
he forced by the mare mention of his
nam to -change their attitude of Inso
lent bullying and threatening to that of
gins; cowardice. Is an experience at
whole 'community smiles.
rsrtbeless, respects him: for sub
mitting to It. Of all the subordinates
appointed by Mayor Strong Roosevelt
Is easily chief In public Interest. He
does not car forthait, but It does pleaso
him to know that already the police
force is beginning to understand him,
and that he Is getting from the worthy
members of It respect and admiration.'
There ls, of course, nothing theoreti
cally extraordinary in what President
Roosevelt has dono. Ha has not done
a thing more or less than any honest
official In his position ought to do, and
ought to be expected to do. It Is hard
ly a pleasant reflection upon the condi
tion of civic morals In America's fore
most city that a great stir should be oc
casioned simply becauso the president
of the police board of that city had the
temerity to Insist that policemen paid
by public taxation to do certain public
labor should do It. But the fact that
so sensible a course of action on his
part should create a commotion Is
prima facie proof that his services were
needed, and that he ls the man for his
place.
Some day, when the American people
get time to sift out their true benefac
tors from the false ones who make at
times a big noise, and between times
live on the reputation thus acquired,
they will probably put a proper esti
mate on the hard and patient work of
men like Theodore Roosevelt, who ac
cept otflca through a sincere desire to be
of benefit to the community; and who
do their duty toward the public even
when the public, through ignorance, li
must ungrateful.
Allen Norton Leete.
There was much of the dramatic In
the career of 'the veteran Journalist
which terminated with such unexpected
suddenness in this city on Tuesday
evening. Born of aflluent parents, and
educated In one of the best of the east
ern universities. Dr. Leete, In early
manhood, saw the family fortune
swept away almost In an Instant by a
series of disastrous fires. He was at
that time Interested In the petroleum
business, and was the first man In that
business to make a practical success of
the use of oil as fuel. It was a work
man In one of his refineries who was
afterward Instrumental In Introducing
petroleum fuel in Russia. A period of
newspaper work followed, successful In
all save Its financial wsults. Very re
cently, as most persons know, occurred
the dramatic Inheritance from a Call-
forr.ian whom Dr. Leete had once be
friended, and again he had almost
reached the goal of wealth when. In a
twinkling, death ended the story. In
the intervals between these experi
ences, he gave his best energies to
Journalism; and for more than a quar
ter of a century was, in that influential
capacity, a foremost figure In the pub
lic activities of his time.
As a newspaper worker, Dr. Leete
was tireless, vigilant and exceedingly
well-informed. His memory was un
commonly keen; end retained at ready
command tha numerous Incidents of his
eventful career. In his rapid discern
ment of the value of news, he was one
of the few great news editors of his
day. At a glance he seemed to com
prehend the exact Importance of a tel
egram, and was ready, before the eye
had finished Its scanning of the con
tents, with a plan for the news' proper
presentation-. One feat of which he
often spoke illustrates this gift. When
the brief bulletin came of the terrible
disaster at Johnstown, the doctor was
aotlng as news editor of tho Philadel
phia Inquirer. It was lata at night: In
an hour the last form had to be on the
press. Calling to an assistant to take
charge ofi all other subjects, he began
to write a description of the torrent's
fatal 6weep. A previous Journey
through the Conemaugh valley, made
with senses alert, supplied the needed
information, and legitimate Imagina
tion the Imagination which, basing it
self on fact's, reaches conclusions by
unerring Induction contributed the
rest. Whereas the other papers next
morning had merely the bulletin an
nouncement, the Inquirer, alone
among the great dailies of the United
States, contained an elaborate descrip
tive narration, sulsequently verified in
every Important detail.
Dr. Leete came to The Tribune during
its Infancy, and to his executive ability
and abundant energy ls due a large
share of Its present success. As a su
perior officer ho was notably kind and
considerate; as a companion he was
mocit entertaining, and as a friend he
was firm and leal. There was a vein
of cheery philosophy in his disposition
which seemed to make him proof
against adversity and to strongly for
tify him against petty prejudices. He
was liberal minded, genial and gen
erous. If he had faults, they were ex
tinguished In tha preponderance of his
merits; and at his graveside there will
be no thought save that of grief and
reverence.
The Future of the Tariff.
It argues no diminution of fealty to
the beneficent principles of a wisely
adjusted protective tariff to argue, as
many Republicans are doing at this
time, against the effort of certain lead
ers to make this familiar topic the pre
dominant issue of the next campaign.
The course of recent events makes It
an issue, and a very important Issue,
but only in one way. The course of
events has taught In emphatic fashion
the unfitness of the Democratic party
to experiment with tho tariff. This les
son Is fixed and, so far as this genera
tion is concerned, we trust and believe
it is final. The' public has, .by an In
structive recent object-lesson, been at
last convinced that moderate protec
tion, as a revenue policy, 1 absolutely
essential to its continued welfare.
To this extent, therefore, the tariff
will be an Issue in next year's presiden
tial election. But It will not be an Is
sue which will have to be bitterly
fought for, neither will there be a gen
eral publlo demand for the radical re
opening of the subject of schedule
amendment. Such changes as are
deemed necessary will be made peace
fully and scientifically, without threat
to oemmeroe or widespread disturbance
of values. There will be no call for
clamorous oratury nor need of Impas
sioned roctorla. Ths problem, from the
moment of to assemblage of the next
congress forward, -will be one to be
solved by calm, cool and efficient Re
publican statesmanship, working not
on tho stump nor In the public press,
but In the tranquility of the legislative
committee room.
The Idea that the American people are
In need of another furious threshing of
tho mildewed straw of campaign tariff
discussion ls erroneous; and the notion
that they will tolerate it is absurd.
One element In the Democratic party,
thinking to curry favor with Mr. Cleve
land, ls busy predicting that Secretary
Olney will be as lukewarm In his for
eign policy as his predecessor was. An
other element, presumably imagining
that Grover has undergone a change of
heart, strenuously asserts the reverse.
Time alono can determine which fore
cast is accurate; but there is no divi
sion of opinion amung virile Americans
as to what kind of a policy U needed In
the stato department.
Certain advocates of gold mono
metallism prematurely Imagine that
because tho cause of the sliver extrem
ists appears ito be on the wane, the
treasury looters of London and New
York are likely to have an easy vic
tory. The overlook the fact that bi
metallism ls and has been the creed of
every political party which has ever
attained permanent prominence In the
United States. The defeat of one ex
treme notion does not by any means
imply the acceptance of the other.
The candidacy of E. N. Willard, esq.,
of this city, for appointment as one
of the six Republican Judges of tho
new Superior court is received with
such general favor throughout the
state that there does not seem to bo
reasonable ground for doubting its sue.
cess. Governor Hastings, It ls believed,
cannot be otherwise than favorably
impressed with the quality and num
ber of Mr. Wlllard's indorsements.
The Scranton Call club will please ac
cept 'this early assurance of our dls
tingulshed consideration. In the Joy of
our (hearts, we stand ready to forgive
even the Honorable Timothy Hurst.
Our esteemed Wllkes-Earro friends
can now Imagine how we felt when the
subject at issue was base ball.
To Manager Barnie: "Why didn't
you do so before?"
POLITICAL GOSSIP.
Replying to Senator Quay's rpcent la
ment ut the momentary dlsappearanco of
the tariff Issue, the Philadelphia Press,
with a shrewd eye to Its distinguished
editor's own future, thus proceeds to lur
rup our senior senator: "Senator Quay
should address his remonstrances and Ills
warning to bis colleagua in tho senate.
It Is Mr. Cameron who has 'pushed the
sliver issue td tho front' In Pennsylvania,
! or months he has been engaged In a per
sistent effort to sow the seeds of free di
ver on Republican ground with tfia ex
pectatlon of reaping a harvest of free sli
ver Republicanism. He went to Harris
burg with tho purpose of Inducing a Re
publican legislature to pass a resolution
Indorsing his fulse position. He was in
strumental in securing the presentation
of an elaborate exposition of the free sil
ver doctrine as the basis of that scheme.
Had no objection been offered and no
resistance been made he would have suc
ceeded and the Republicans of Pennsyl
vania would by the action of their rep
resentatives have been placed upon a false
platform. Mr. Cameron Is thus responsi
ble for bringing the question to the front
in our own commonwealth and we trust
that Senator Quay will remonstrate with
bis associate against this fatal policy and
will Insist with him that the tariff policy
should not bo side-tracked."

Colonol Zimmerman, In the Reading
Times, states a plain truth nicely when he
says: "l'orhaps one of the most signifi
cant of the political signs of the times Is
the attention directed, to ex-President
Harrison upon all hands. His recent visit
to New York and Philadelphia had abso
lutely no politlcul purport, yet It was el
most Impossible to persuade the public to
that effect. He came and went as a simple
private citlsen, yet thousands In both
cities were ready and eager to accord him
publlo honors had only opportunity been
afforded. All this shows tire honor, es
teem and confidence In which he Is held
by the people of the country. There Is no
effervescence or hurrah about this feel
ing, but General Harrison Is about uni
versally regarded as one of the ablest and
safest statesmen In the country today.
He has gained this estimate by his splen
did senatorial and presidential record, and
should he bo the next Republican presi
dential candidate a possibility by no
means fanciful his election would be as
certain as any future event can be."
II II II
The Philadelphia Record has polled thir
teen countlos In the state to ascertain
whether the delegations from any of them
to Uio Cleveland loaitue convention would
vote for Cameron and free silver. It did
not find one delegate who would return nn
affirmative answer. Guy C. Irish, of Ma-
hanoy. City, one of the vice presidents of
the Pt-nnsylvan'.a league, announced him
self a flat-footed gold monometalllst, ap
parently forgetting that the last stato
league convention Indorsed the Minne
apolis plank, which Is for bimetallism.

It Is now asserted that Senator Quay,
having redeemed his promise of assist
ance, made two years ago to Senator
Kline, will not pormlt hlB nume to be at
tached to the new county which Is to have
Uasleton as Its county seat. This Is said
to explain why prominent Hazletoniuns
are suggesting other names for their In
fant division.

Mayor Schleren, of Brooklyn, has Joined
the new aott-Platt organization, the Re
publican state club. Mayor Strong has
not, but ls understood to be In full sym
pathy with the club, nearly all the heads
of departments having become members.
Piatt has Influenced General E. A. Mc-
Alpln, oandldato for president of the Na
ttonal League of clubs, to resign from the
club. J. 'Bloat Fassett says the club will
be a success. (
(I II II
It Is predicted that the friends ef ex-
Senator John 3. Infills will start a boom
for him for president within the next twe
weeks. Lines, It Is said, have been laid
to capture Colorado, Nebraska, the Da
kota, Wyoming and Kansas for him, He
denies he Is a candidate, but he has modi-
fled his free silver utterances very much,
and this Is regarded as a bid for eastern
support.

Yesterday this paper said: "The worst
thing against William Collins Whitney's
presidential boom ls that William Collins
wears eya-glassos. Ne Democrat can be

By persons friendly to Senator Quay It is
reported that District Attorney Graham
and Hamilton Dlsaton have broken with
David Martin and Senator Porter because
of a dispute over certain Philadelphia
municipal legislation. The breach la de
