"We ought to rcallio by this tlmo that
Tie should not do our work nor roiiko our
loans In Europo. Let us place what op
tions no novo with our own capitalists,
and our orders with our own manufac
turers, who. In the past, have been always
abundantly oblo to meet every need and
demand of the government and of the
people." Governor William AlcKinlcy,
at Uortford.
A Triumph of Song.
The supremacy of Welsh chorus
singers over choirs made up of repre
sentatives of several nationalities has
seldom been more vividly Illustrated
than In the Concordia eisteddfod at
Wllkes-Barre. To at least two of the
adjudicators, the result of that friendly
contest of song" was a genuine revela
tion. We refer to Messrs. Henderson
end Krehblel, both of whom. In private
conversation, expressed their unquali
fied admiration of the rrmsnlflcent en
semble of the Scranton choir as, un
der John T. Watklns' skilled baton,
and In response to his magnetic direc
tion, that choir brought out the full
significance of the beautiful selection,
"Slorl, Buy," from Dr. MacKenzle's
opera, "Colomba," which formed the
second number of the chief competi
tion at Wllkes-Barre.
Accustomed as these eminent critics
have been to operatic part singing,
with Its stress of emphasis upon Indi
vidual capacity and peculiarity, the
opportunity to hear a choir of 200
voices sing with toe accuracy of a
single voice a selection so rich in Its
depth and variety of expression as was
this gem by Dr. MacKonzie, and yet In
volume and balance nf parts equal the
effects of the finest orchestra, was new
to them, and If admiring comment,
made with no thought of Its reproduc
tion In print, be any Indication, these
two gentlemen will not soon recover
from their agreeable surprise, Cs'o
longer, we fancy, will they share the
common metropolitan error of regard
ing with something like derision the
musical pretensions of the anthracite
regions. They know now that though
we lack In operatic culture, there are
compensations in the peerless power
end sublimity of the choir accomplish
ments of our unassuming miners.
In this connection a word of praise
Is fairly due to Dr. Mason, not only
for the uniform . tact, kindness and
courtesy which have characterized his
portion of the arrangements for the re
cent festivalthese traits were to be
expected but also for his success In
procuring Dr. MacKenzle's permission
for the use, as one of the test pieces,
of the magnificent portion of his yet
unproduced new opera. It would be
difficult to place an exaggerated esti
mate upon the pleasure which the ren
derlng of this selection afforded
Wednesday's auditors. It was a treat
of a lifetime, equally reflecting honor
Upon composer, choir and director.
Nonsense from Boston.
! The mistakes of blundering reformers
probably precipitate more grief In the
camps of the Judicious than do all the
machinations of the avowed forces of
evil. This reflection la forced upon us
by the perusal of a series of absurd
resolutions recsntly adopted, no doubt
With the best of Intentions, by the
Boston Woman's Rescue league, set
ting forth the Immoral tendencies of
woman's growing liking for the wheel.
The league condemns bicycle riding by
young girls and women for these rea
sons: Thirty per cent, of the "fast
girls" that have come to the rescue
league for aid were bicycle riders at
one time. It Is resolved that since the
' closing of the disreputable houses In
Boston the Inmates thereof are taking
to bicycle riding, because they can bet
ter ply their vocations, on account of the
it Is made to the prominent clergy
of tha United States for the suppression
of bicycle riding by young girls because
of Its tendency to encourage Immor
ality. .
It will be remembered that when the
practice of horseback riding first be
came popular among the women of this
country there was a similar outcry
from honest mothers and elderly tnald-
. ens who, et the time, were sincere In
the belief that the' young woman who
occupied a saddle -was preparing . for
a ride straight tq His Sulphuric
Majesty, the Prince of Evil, Eques
trianism flourished notwithstanding
this belief; and today many who fell
Into the foregoing delusion are prone
to admit that the kind of morality In
Womankind which Is seoure only when
kept under lock and key after all Is
probably not worth the trouble Is costs.
May It not be even so with the bi
cycle? We have the pleasure of an
acquaintance with a number of es
timable women In ithls city and else
where who can return from a moderate
spin on their wheels refreshed both
In body and In mind, and In every way
hotter fitted to assume the duties of
their positions as the queens of well
ordered homes. It would take a large
showing of statistics to convince us
that the moral safety of these women
would be greater than It is, If they would
abjure this pleasurable mods of exer
cise. In favor of Idle dalliance
In lll-ventllated . parlors or aimless
promenading through the Btores and
on the streets. No doubt bad wo
men rldo wheels. They also travel In
street and Bteam cars; but we have not
heard these conveyances denounced as
aids to immorality. "
The Disease of Jealousy,
An Ingenious theory Is propounded
by Dr. Maurice do Fleury, a French
physician of some eminence, lie bold
ly aserts that the conjugal failing
known as Jealousy Is nothing more nor
less than a physical disease, dependent
on physical conditions, and amenable
to physical methods of treatment.
Dr. do Fleury assures us that the Jeal
ous man has always a brain that Is
Insufficiently nourished ho Is In the
early stages of that common form of
insanity In which a man Is subject to
the hallucination of being followed by
enemies; he Is morbidly suspicious to
the last degree. He may be Buffering
from Incipient brain disease, but very
likely his malady Is the result of tem
porary conditions; he Is overtired, he
has been weakened by a long Illness,
or he has been on an exhausting spree.
The peculiar weakness that the grip
leaves behind it Is responsible for more
Jealousy, so says this French author
ity, than any amount of really Justifi
able suspicion.
The manner In which our French
savant would endeavor to effect a cure
of this undesirable hallucination is
plausible, to say the least. He would
simply feed the victim well. The theory
underlying this treatment Is simple.
Take a man who Is unreasonably Jeal
ous and Irritable early In the morn
ing and give him a good breakfast or
a cup of coffee, and ten to one ho will
sit down and talk the matter over
sensibly with you. According to Dr.
do Fleury, all Jealous persons have
sensible intervals, the malady being In
some degree a periodic one, Just like
chills and fever. In, short, Dr. de
Fleury's treatment includes every
thing that can be done to give strength
qnil confidence to the Jealous wretch,
to Inspire him with a sense of his own
power to make a man of him. If
stimulants and tonics are necessary to
this restoration, stimulants and tonics
will be given. If the aid of mental
suggestion Is deemed desirable, expert
hypnotlzers will be called In. What
ever, In short, will tend to put the poor
fellow on the pathway to restored rea
son will be employed without reference
to precedent or tradition.
Of course all this Is only a material
istic age's way of adapting old beliefs
to new conditions. Instead of love
philters brewed in the light of the
moon, or charms Invested with magic
power by the weird incantations of
some uncanny Sibyl, we of this more
practical age must needs have beef
steak, pills and powders. But the revo
lution In methods Is worthy of notice,
especially If it shall succeed In banish
ing domestic discord and undoing the
occupation of the divorce lawyer, the
pistol maker and the undertaker.
Relating to Llhel.
The International league of press
clubs. In session at Philadelphia, unan
imously resolved to urge the different
state legislative bodies to enact the fol
lowing law:
That before any suit shall be brought for
the publication of a libel In any newspaper
In this state the aggrieved pnrty shall at
least three days before filing or serving the
complaint in such suit servo notice on tho
publisher or publishers of said newspaper
at their principal ollico of publication,
specifying the stutcments In the said ar
ticle which ho or they allege to bo falso
and defamatory. If It shall appear on the
trial of said action that the said articlo
was published in good faith, that Its
falsity was duo to the mlstako or misap
prehension of the facts and that a full and
fair retraction of any statement thoroin
alleged to be erroneous wns published in
tho next regular issue of such nowspaper,
or in case of daily papers, within three
days after such mistake or misappre
hension was brought to tho knowledge of
such publisher or publishers, In as con
spicuous a place and type In such newspa
per as was the articlo complained of as li
bellous, then tho plaintiff in such caso
shnll recover only actual damtiges. Pro
vided, however, that the provisions of thin
act shall not apply to thai case of any libel
against any candidate for a public oillce In
this, state, unless the retraction of tho
charge is made editorially In a conspicu
ous manner at least three duys before tho
election, In case such libellous article was
published In a dally paper. If published In
a weekly paper at least ten days before tho
election.
This Is the law recently proposed for
enactment at Harrlsburg. We do not
know what became of It there. As
near as we can ascertain, It went to
sleep In committee. But it Is a Just
and an equitable proposition, which
the press of the country jought to In
Blst upon being enacted as law In every
state.
While It waa of course to have been
expected, It may be worth while to re
mark "that The Tribune's report of tho
big eisteddfod yesterday .was much the
best one published.
From recent Indications,' It would
seem that our esteemed contemporary,
Editor Emory Smith, has need to turn
the hoso of his sound money eloquence
upon his own city's front doorstep be
fore venturing for Into distant fields.
A .very respectable minority In the
Union League club, the Manufactur
ers' club and several other clubs ap-
pears to be still somewhat In doubt as
to whether it would conduce to the
permanent welfare of the country to
strike silver oft the list of primary coin
age metals.
It Is announced In a Washington
dispatch that a number of college presi
dents have requested the postoftlce de
partment to break up, if possible, the
business of certain literary syndicates
which contract to supply college grad
uates with commencerrrenit orations at
a moderate rate per word. These presU
dents evidently propose to show no
mercy to commencement day audiences.
It may be against the moral law for
Americans to extend Individual aid to
tho struggling patriots of Cuba; but
Mr. Cleveland will have a mighty hard
time of It trying to get his countrymen
to think so.
POLITICAL GOSSIP.
Under the lend of Wharton Barker,
Professor Jtobort Kills Thompson, James
Uobson. Henry Carey Huird and many
other prominent residents of Philadelphia,
Quaker City opponents of gold monomet
allism have Just orgunlzed a lllmytalllo
association, with tho following declara
tion of principles: "(1) The supply of both
gold ami sliver which Is avullablo for tho
world's coinage 1b not In excetts of the
world's needs. (2) The relative amount of
silver in this supply Is greatly Inferior to
what It was fifty years ago, when tho two
metals mulntnlned a stnple ratio of 15.5 to
1. (3) Tho chnngo In tho comparative
value has not been produced by any ex
cess In the supply of silver, but by Its arti
ficial exclusion from tho wants of tho civ
ilized world. (I) This exclusion has pro
duced an equal appreciation in tho value
of gohl by throwing upon it the burden of
affecting the world's exchanges and or
ganizing its productive forces. (5) The ef
fect of this rise in the value of gold has
been to force down the nominal value of
everything it measures, thus making It
impossible for tho producer to pay his
debts at tho present gold prices of his
products, and adding vastly to the general
burden of public Indebtedness. (0) It Is
not in the interest of any class of silver
miners, but In those of the producers of
our country and of the world, that we
urge tho prompt restitution of silver to
its place In the money of the nation. (7)
While It is most desirable to havo this ef
fected by an intcrnatlonl bimetallic agree
ment, America cannot afford to wait for
this, for delay threatens to prevent prompt
relief of our producing classes. She must
act herself, with duo regard to the reten
tion of her gold currency alongside silver,
and with a view to commending or even
compelling similar action on the part of
other countries. On these grounds we de
clare our purpose to work for the resump
tion of silver as the money of the coun
try, on the same footing as during tho first
three-quarters of a century of our na
tional existence."

According to Walter Wellmnn, the fight
which Senator Urlce Is making to secure
his re-election two years henco is creating
considerable amusement in Washington.
"Brlco early perceived," Mr. Wellman
writes to the Chicago Times-Herald, "that
tho only show there was In the thing for
him lay In Kepublicnn quarrels and fac
tional bickerings, and he has left no stone
unturned that might by any possibility
embitter one Ohio Ilepubllcan against an
other. Evidence is at hand to prove con
clusively that there Is much more quarrel
ing among Ohio Republicans in the news
papers published outside the state than
there Is within tho borders. Brlce and his
coworkers have succeeded in convincing
a great many people that McKlnley and
Foraker ore Just cutting one another's
throat evcryono except McKlnlcy and
Foraker and their Ohio friends and follow
ers. It Is known hero for a certainty that
Brlco even went so far as to send his rep
resentatives to the recent Republican con
vention at Zanesvllle, and these agents
were well supplied with money to use in
furtherance of the game of cross-purposes.
They did not brlbo anyone, but they
bought beer for the boys and wine for the
heads of messes and put In their poisoned
words at every opportunity. It is sharp
politics, and if shrewdness and manipula
tion will actually stir the Ohio Republi
cans Into factional war and give Brlce a
show to save himself the country may rest
asured that the trick will be turned." But
tho chances are that the Republicans of
tho Buckeye state, to use a vulgarism,
"are onto" Brlce.

Charles Theodore Murray, In a letter to
the Washington Post reviewing the prog
ress of the silver fight In Indiana, Illi
nois and Missouri, reaches the conclusion
that the rapid spread of the free coinage
Idea will turn all these states over to the
Republican party. Mr. Murray quotes a
prominent St. Louis politician in this wise:
"Say 100 represents the natural Demo
cratic vote of Missouri; 75 the Republican,
and 25 tho floaters, or odds and ends. A
cast-iron free coinage machine will drive
10 out of the Democratic ranks Into tho
opposition and 15 will remain at home.
The Republicans will catch tho floaters,
who, for one reason or another, always
land on the top side. This would leave
the political equation thus: 75 Democrat,
135 Republican. That Is not supposed to
be the exact proportion, but that Is tho
way It works. This state will undoubt
edly go Republican under the new test of
Democracy." "Hut how about tho Repub
lican silver men7" was asked. "They are
not Invited to get out of their pnrfy be
cause the majority of that patty may dis
agree with them on coinage. They will
have the option offered by the Ohio plat
form. They will stick to their own ban
ners, as usual. 'Divide the enemy and
conquer,' Is an old military proverb. Wo
shall bo In the position of having divided
ourselves, and we shall be everlastingly
lloked."
II II II
The conclusion which the Washington
Post draws, In a long review of the silver
crusade, with reference to Pennsylvania,
is that It is the Republican party which
Is being rent because of the silver Issue.
"Senator Cameron, luo-long Republican,
an ardent advocate of free coinage, and
an aspirant for the presidency, Is moving
heaven and earth to bring the great mass
of the Republican voters to his way of
thinking. His friends say that his mis
sionary efforts are being attended with
marked success. Certain It Is that he Is
gaining a hearing today for his silver
views where not so very long ago he ad
dressed deaf ears. His daily mall is filled
with Inquiries for Information and ho
keeps at his office in this city a great pile
of speoehes for silver, Including his own,
which ho gladly distributes to anxious
seekers after knowledge." The Post sums
the matter up by saying that "soma curi
ous political allgnmomts in Pennsylvania
In the future are not unlikely," which la
a conservative way of putting It.
II II II
The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin Is
beginning early to make faces at Senator
Cameron. It says: "It Is reported that
Senator Cameron and his friends will en
deavor to enlist the aid of the Pennsyl
vania delegates to the programme of tho
sllverltes, at least to the extent of pre
venting them from making a genuine ex
pression of Pennsylvania opinion on tho
silver Issue. We hope that there will bo
no such exhibition of cowardice and stulti
fication. Cameron's silver opinions are
not shared by his party in his own state;
he is In a pitiable and constantly dwin
dling minority, and the Ponnsylvanlans In
the convention could do the partylno bet
ter service than to repudiate his financial
sophistries with all tho emphasis of which
they are capable." , .
'' ' ' ' II II II
Kentucky's Republican gubernatorial
candidate, W. O. Bradley, who for fifteen
years has refused to speak to Congressman
Evans, of Louisville, an equally prominent
Republican, Is reported to have relented.
The story goes that In the Chicago con
vention of ISM) both were present as mem
bers of the "308." Mr. Braflloy was then
ambitious to be known as on orator and
he mado several speeches. One morning
a newspaper article appeared, the nub of
which was: "The difference between
Bradley, of Kentucky, and Foraker, of
Ohio, is marked. The latter thinks on his
feet and the former with his feet." Brad
ley believed Evans wrote that article and
the two men have not spoken as they
passed. Now Bradley knows Evans did
not writs It and peace again reignB In the
blue grass region.

Cnn tho party managers got the rank-and-file
to work Itself into another parox
ysm of enthusiasm next year over a sub
ject ss stale as the tariff? This Is tho
question many people are asking these
duys. The major! Sy of Republicans think
too well of a protective tariff to have it
constantly In campaign jeopardy.
II II II
Tho Philadelphia Record Is doing Its
level best to keep up the spirits of the
Pennsylvania Democracy by profuse abuse
of tho Republican majority. The Record
has not hud a wink of peaceful sleep since
tho legislature passed the new superior
court bill.
II II II
Henry Watterson says If the Kentucky
Democratic convention shnll declare for
free sliver, 23.000 to 40,000 Democratic
voters will bo driven Into tho Republican
party, which will then enrry the state.

large amount for Insurance, but careless

SCRANTON'S GALA DAY.
From the Carbondale Anthracite.
Scranton fairly bubbled, seethed and
sizzled with joy last night. Every man
wore a plug hat and a smile and every
maid beamed her beamlngest;, One did not
have to Inquire for the cause of the ex
uberance. It was thrust upon you, flaunt
ed in flamboyant glee In your very face.
Scranton's representatives upon (he base
ball diamond had actually won a game
and her silver-tongued representatives In
the world of musle had won fame and
(1,000 In harmonious warfare with her an
cient enemy, Wllkes-Barre. Why should
thcro not be joy and Juleps? To achieve
one such victory means a jag of jubilation
that would freight that burg for many
moons and two means a paroxysm that
threatens paresis.
Swlously, they are achievements of
which our sister city may well be proud.
The musical victory, of course, means
most to Scranton. It means education, re
finement and a revival of Intorest in things
harmonic. We congratulate the victors
upon their well-earned laurels,

It will be the cplnlon of a child born this
day that If Philip Klrst succeeds In an
swering In one evening all of the criticism
that has been fired at him in his official ca

to talk faster than an alarm clock.
It Is a pleasure to note that Mr. Cleve

Is a. better day for cutting bait anyhow.
Judge Rice will do well to got his para
