ECRAXTON, JUNE 19, 1805.
Chairman Gllkeson has Issued a call
for ti convention of the Republicans of
Pennsylvania to assemble at Harrlsburg
Aug. 28, to nominate a state treasurer
and six judges for the new Superior
court. The date selected will be satis
factory, and the convention, when held,
will be a lilting overture to the Import
ant campaign which will occur during
the coming year.
, Worth Keeping in flind.
The- Impression which we feared
would 'be conveyed by the malicious
diatribe against Governor Hastings
printed In last (Monday's Soranton Re
publican has been conveyed. The
Wllkes-Barre Record of yest-rJay. In
its report of the visit of the Luzerne
delegation to Harrlsburg; In the Inter
est of Judge' Rice, very naturally, al
though mistakenly, says: "Ths? fact
that the Scranton Republican Is gvlng
for the governor lively Is pretty good
proof of the fact that Lackawanna is
very much divided on W'lllard. On the
other hand. Luzerne 19 sjlld for P.ie-
s U all this section of the stat?."
There is, of course, no truth whatever
In this Insinuation, notwithstanding
that the Scranton Republican, while
pretending friendship for Mr. Wlllard's
candidacy, treacherously, as we be'
lleve. studied how It could convey the
Impression of a factional division. But
we ask the real friends of Mr. W lllard
to contemplate the Republican's work;
and we warn them that if his candi
dacy, after Its magnificent Indorsement
of Monday, shall fail, not a little of the
blame for such failure will be Justly
' due to the vicious, untrue and delib
erately mistimed attack of this untrust
worthy medium of revenge upon the
honored governor of the common
wealth. It is well to keep this conduct In
mind.
The League and Silver.
The seventh annual convention of the
Republican National league, which will
today assemble at Cleveland, O., under
auspicious circumstances for a three
days'' session, will be wise If it shall en
tirely avoid the subject of currency re
form. It Is not commissioned by the
party to enunciate party doctrine; and
at a time when there Is an honest, and
to all appearances, a somewhat radical
difference of opinion among the league
delegates at to one of the chief current
Issues, there would seem to be no occa
sion for the league to Jeopard present
harmony and Incur the danger of possi
ble disorganization by premature an
nouncements which may, within a
year, have to be revised.
We are aware that there is a consid
erable demand In certain quarters for
a. radical and emphatic Indorsement of
gold monometallism, oblivious to the
bimetallic plank adopted three years
go at Minneapolis!. This demand is
well expressed, so far as rhetoric Is
concerned, by the Philadelphia Evening
Bulletin, which says:
The plulform of 1842 is "safe" ground;
tint bimetallism by means of an Interna
tional conference has since become an
Iridescent dream, and should no longer be
used as a deception on the people. The
convention at Cleveland should discard
that empty phrase and help to put the
party on tilgher ground than Juggling with
a platitude. In UW International bimetal
lism a an apparent possibility; In 1SW
It Is only a catch word of shifty politician,
which the march of events has made
valueless.
Yet to heed this advice would, In the
first place, be to exceed the league's
functions as a party auxiliary; and, in
the second. It would be equivalent to a
public confession that for twenty years
the Republican party, In its utterances
In favor of an International bimetallic
agreement, has been deliberately Im
posing on the public- A confession like
this would be Impolitic If true, but It
would be literally suicidal If false;
which It would be at this time. The
Bulletin's assertion that In the Interval
between 1892 and 1895 events have oc
curred which are calculated to throw
grave doubt on the possibility of an
ultimate agreement among the nations
for the restoration of the full coinage
functions of silver is not only untrut;
but it is so transparently false, In
View of very recent European triumphs
of the bimetallism etentlmont, . as to
throw suspicion upon the sincerity of all
Who assert to the contrary.
The Cleveland League convention will
be justified In repeating the Minnea
polis platform, until replaced by an
other national platform, which is the
binding Republican doctrine; but It will
sot b Justified In trying, either for
or against sliver, to usurp, the func
tion of a Republican national nominat
ing convention, which alone can speak
authoritatively for the parky on ques
tions In general dispute.
Time to Quit Fooling. ,
For more than a year the overwhelm
ing sontlment of the people of Scranton
has demanded that the rickety and
recklessly-operated cars of the Scran
ton Traction company be equipped, with
a suitable type of llfo-savtng fenders.
It has been repeat". lly shown, upoi In
controvertible authority, that sat? and
satisfactory fenders are now pi'.icl ical
possibilities In thestreet railway yrld;
that accidents- on IIiivj us. 113 those
funders have almost wholly disap
peared; and that ths cost of such fend
ers Is trifling compared with the re
sults which they achieve.
Notwithstanding these plain facts,
the Scranton Traction company has
for a year pursued and is now pursu
ing a policy of evasion and double
dealing In Its treatment of the fender
problem. As long aa It could, it whined
that fenders did not fend; and when the
fallacy of this flimsy pretense was ex
posed, It fell back upon the safer re
liance of Its "pull" with certain mem
bers of councils, presumably In the
hope that by postponement, lack of
quorum or other means even less par
liamentary, It could stave final uctlon
off until the breeze phould blow over.
The successful mitnner In which It pro
cured a postponement at the last ses
sion of councils Is fresh In mind; and Is
a characteristic example of Its arro
gance and Impudence.
It strikes us that the citizenship of a
city as large and ns enterprising "ns
Scranton Is entitled to have Its will
executed In councils, whether u de
crepit corporation likes it or not. That
citizenship just now desires to have
genuine safety fenders placed on ull
local street cars, so that It will again
be reasonably safe for children and
adults to appeur on the streets. There
can be no longer any argument upon
the question of the practicability of
fenders; and If at the next session uf
cour.clls Traction Influences attempt to
stifle tht- pending ordinance, we call
upon tile manly and reputable members
of that body to show the shysters up
as they deserve.
It Is time to quit fooling over a sub
ject which concerns life and death. .
The Greatest Jiodern Painter.
The countless readers of "Trilby," by
this talk about the identity of Joe Sib-
ley and the denouncement of it by
James MoNell Whistler, have had their
Interest in this unique personality
awakened; and many who have
thought that Whistler Is some insgniti
cant self-advertiser will perhaps be in
terested to learn that In the opinion of
many of the world's best critics this
same Whistler stands out as absolute
ly and unqualifiedly the greatest artist
of modern times. Beside Whistler as
an artist Du Maurier as a writer, de
lightful as he is to all. Is as an ant be
fore a mountain. Other painters have
points of excellence aad America is
Justly proud to be the mother of Sar
geant, of Innes, of Chase and of hun
dreds of other sincere exponents of the
beauty of the world that is and of the
poetry that ennobles it; yet Whistler
stands pre-eminently the leader of all
artists of these century-end times.
If It be true that "statesmen are for
a time what artists are for eternity"
the one man of the last half century
who will survive from these times,
survive and be of real living present in
terest when even Lincoln will be but a
loved memory, that man, we say. Is
James MoNell Whistler. There are
greater technicians In the world than
whistler; there are hundreds
more
popular; there are numerous other Chicago. Muny of the members of the na
painters whose works possess beauties t:onaJ committee have talked this matter
that charm and enchant the world, but
the pictures of Whstler possess an In
carnate, Ineffable beauty and poetry
of color that make them unique and
unrivalled among the canvasses of our
time.
That Whistler Is not generally
known and admired argues nothing.
Rembrandt's pictures one day sold for
ten or fifteen cents. But Rembrandt
was none the less an artist and is so
known today. So will Whistler be
known and understood and be living
and breathing when this century shall
have become as forgotten and unknown
to the future citizens of the world as
past centuries and past peoples and
past geniuses which fell short the mark
of eternity are forgotten today.
Senator Penrose's declaration In fa
vor of Governor McKlnley' presiden
ts candidacy is wisely coupled with
the proviso that if Pennsylvania sliuil
have a suitable and promising candi
date of Its own he will be for the Penn
sylvania man. It Is too early yet to
speak with certainty on this point; but
we should say that If Governor Hast
ings, for example, shall be a presiden
tial candidate next year, 'he will tit
fairly entitled to the loyal support of
Pennsylvanlans so long as there Is a
reasonable prospect of his nomination.
At the same time, It Is not to be dis
puted that the Ohio candidate Is a clean,
able and thoroughly . admirable man,
whose nomination would supply the
party with an Ideal standard-bearer.
The party would be grandly victorious
under either leadership.
. It has remained for the free trade
Wllke-Barre Leader to 'And room for
exultation in the fact that. the Ameri
can people owe $3,O0O,0OO,()OO In gold to
foreign capitalists. .Our contemporary
seems to think that this country ought
to be grateful for a condition of affairs
which enables It to give a small coterie
of foreign money-lenders practically a
llfe-and-death grip upon American in
dustries and institutions; and it laughs
at Governor McKlnley for. declaring
that American ought to do both their
buying and their borrowing at home,
If the Leader will study the policy of
protection a little more closely, it will
discover that Its aim la to mako Amer
lea the leader among nations, and not
the fawning mendicant that begs for
Plves' crumbs.
John R. McLean, the enterprising
owner of the Cincinnati Enquirer and
other papers, and formerly one of the
most powerful of Ohio Demncratlo pol
itician'1!, has served notice that he Is out
of pjlltic. This notice, he says. Is 'to
.rellow h' l itwlncss from political cm
barrs intents, to rcl; as- any person who
mny feel under real or fancied polit
ical obligation to him, to prevent n
waste of generous words, to reduce to
a mVmum the draft on the sx-cism of
his hostile contemporaries and to give
warning; to those who have political se
crets to keep silent when he Is near, for
ht Is going to print nearly everything
he hears about politics or anything else.
This is the business in which lie Is now
more actively engaged than ever be
fore, and he has no time for the luxur
ies of politics." Would he be so anx
ious to retire, We Wonder, If this looked
like a Democratic year?
There Is very little doubt that it was
never contemplated by the) tranters of
the Pennsylvania constitution that the
chief executive nf the state should have,
With his little veto hatchet, to chop
off the rough edges of the crude Work
uf a legislature too careless to do Us
entire duty,. It is uskintr too much of
any governor; but these days that does
nut seem to count.
Silence, at Cleveland, on things apart
from the league's business, might be
"sliver" or It might be "golden;" but It
would surely be good, sound sense,
Turkey's second thought Is to yield to
the powers. Turkey is rotten; but still
not clean daft.
rOLlTlCAl (iOSSIP.
To the extent of nearly u three-column
interview ex-Senator Fassott, of Klinlra,
unburdens himself of the Indignation
which he feels toward Thomas C. Piatt
and others for taking advantage of his ab
sence In California to cut great gups iu his
Chemung county fences. Mr. Fassett
doesn't think this was chivalrous iu the
aforeJuld Thomas niul his allies; and
among other comments appertaining
thereto, the spirited young Elmlran says:
"Mr. Piatt bus burled his hatchet In the
political body of quite a number of men
who had been his friends, but who could
not always approve of his erratic conduct.
He quarreled with Garfield and then with
Conkllng; with Arthur and then with
Cornell; with Tracy and with Harrison.
He has quarreled with Warner Miller,
Chattncey Uepew and Whttelaw Held;
with Judge Robertson anil George B.
Sloan, with Frank Hiscock and John
Sherman. I really feel complimented that
he feels impelled to come way up Into Che
mung county to quarrel with me."
II II II
After a conference with Senator Quay
and others at Brlguntlne' beach. Senator
Penrose, on Jloncluy evening, said: "1 be
lieve that Governor McKlnley is the
strongest candidate for the Pennsylvania
delegation to support In the next national
Republican convention. Pennsylvania is
the greatest Industrial commonwealth In
the Union, and protection to American
Industry has been for fifty years the vital
Issue with our people. McKlnley Is a pop
ular, brainy and representative American
and the champion of the American prin
ciple of protection to our home Industries.
We can win with McKlnley on a platform
of protection to American Industries, and
the development of the United States as
the dominating nation of the civilized
world. I should say, however, that I am,
of course, for any Pennsylvanlan who
can be nominated, If such a contingency
should possibly arise." Chris Ma gee re
cently talked in a similar strain, saying
that If no Pennsylvanlan could be nom
inated, he would strongly favor the Ohio
executive.
Nine cities want the Republican . na
tional convention: Pittsburg, Chicago,
Buffalo, Cincinnati, San Francisco, St.
Louis, Omaha, Denver and Atlanta. A
Washington dispatch Bays: "There is lit
tle doubt In the minds of prominent Re
publican leaders that next year's national
convention of that uartv Will be held In
UVI'F umuriK iiieiiiacivm anu vmiuKU JB
the nearly unanimous choice. When Plntt,
Quay, Alger, Clarkson, Payne, Fessenden
and other Republican politicians held a
conference here some weeks ago they
talked of the place where the convention
should be held and not one of them had
an Idea the convention would be held any
where but in Chicago.'"
ExSenator Warner Miller has written an
open letter mercilessly flaying State Sena'
tor Coggeshull, of L'tlca, one of Piatt's
Albany lieutenants, for his betrayal of the
cause of municipal reform In New York
city. Among many bitter things he says:
"I want to say to you that It is a thousand
times hotter that Oneida should be repre
nlBl1 W a democrat than to be longer
misrepresented by Its present senator,
The time was when Oneida county, led by
a great man, stood before the people of
the state with dean hands and was con
ceitedly thn leader of all the Republican
counties or Die state. Today it stands
disgraced and humiliated beenuse It Is rep
resented In tho senate by a man who hus
betrayed Ills party, thn cause of reform
and honest government. " 1

Philadelphia advices Intimate that there
are to be two tickets for state delegates
in nearly every ward of that city. David
Martin and Senator Porter ut the last test
of strength, controlled about twenty
eight of the thirty-seven wards. Quay
will urge his followers to make a fight for
state delegutes, 'even though they ire
beaten. This Is the policy of Penrose and
Durham. i

GKiierul J. S. Cliirkson, who can not be

publican candidates In next year's con
vention as follows: McKlnley, 300; Reed,
1(18; Harbison, 131; Allison, 10. Morton Is

Congressman John B. Robinson an
nounces that he proposes. If possible, to

Ex-Congressman Cooper, of , Indiana,
says that a year ago he would have re

ex-presldent will be renominated on per

which may persuade Congressman Paul;

R. Q. Evans, Republican national com

he will stand the test no matter bow long
he has to remain In the contest before the

PROF. COLES' PREDICTIONS.
State of the Elements for tho Month of
June Foretold.
Professor Coles, the Kingston astron
omer, whose weather forecast for May
proved one of the most accurate published
has given signs and predictions for June
as published below. The observations
upon the vitality of vegetable life have
been the result of years of continual study
upon the subject, and hints given may be
followed with profit:
Storms and signs of June: The planets,
this month, are in a position to produce
almost anything in the simps of cyclones,
tornados, cloudbursts, phenomenal rains,
thunder showers, hall, snow, excessive
heat, floods, etc. Extreme heat will pre
cede the regular periods, and cool waves
will follow with frost In some states, and
perhaps snow. One very peculiar feature
of the thunder showers will be, no mntter
from what direction they may appear,
they will nearly all be driven southward
by strong undereurrents, and dispersed.
The first week In the month will bring us
great changes; the second will not be so
severe unless the electrical currents come
up from the southeast. The third week
will bring us some great electrical show
ers and storms, and the fourth week will
probably bring us some of the most ac
tive storms of the whole month.
From the 1st to the 10th sudden and pe
culiar changes will take place wind gales,
cloud-bursts, rain, thunder Bhowers, tor
nadoes, cyclones, hail, etc.; the reaction
ary storms will follow between the 10th
and the 15th, producing sudden changes;
a regular storm period, with much rain,
resulting in great floods in many localities,
will be due by the 21st. The reactionary,
great electrical storms will soon follow,
with another regular storm period due lie
fore the close of the month.
Be prepared for phenomenal cloudbursts,
rain and floods and very severe electrical
showers, that will prove more fatal, prob
ably, than during any other month of the
whole year. To avoid the electrical bolts,
close your windows and doors, and sit in
the center of the room away from the
walls and chimneys, and let your chair
rest on aluminum glass, and you will be
safe from all harm. My predictions for
the month of May also proved true In ev
ery Instance. Marked copies of comments
by any and all papers that print my
"storm and sign" predictions will be re
ceived with thanks.
Signs: Venus will be In the sign Gemini
on the 2d; Mars will be In the sign Cancer
on the 9th; Jupiter will be In the sign Gem
ini on the IGth; Saturn will be In the sign
Virgo on the 23d; Uranus will be In the
sign Libra on the 30th. Therefore:
An epidemic of bad feelings will pass
over the while country during the months
of June and July.
Any kind of seed planted on the Oth or
7th will bear good fruit; especially vines,
peas, beans, grain, etc. On the 10th, 11th
and 12th a splendid time for planting any
kind that does not bear fruit; 1. e., roots,
cornfoddcr, grass, etc. The 10th, loth and
17th, time for garln, potatoes. Held beans,
etc, The 20th and 21st are two good fruit
ful days, and most any kind of seed
pluntcd, or vegetables transplanted on i
those days will thrive and bear good
fruit. On Saturday the 22d, at 10 o'clock In
the morning. Is the time to plant cucum
bers. On Monday and Tuesduy, the !4th
and 25th, are two of the best days of the
whole month for planting or trnnsplnting
any kind of vegetables that bear fruit
above ground; the best time for corn and
buckwheat.
The vital forces of vegetable life will be
at their highest flood on the Oth, 7th, lutli,
11th, 12th, 15th, ICth. 17th, 20th, 21st, 2i!d,
24th and 25th, and at their lowest ebb on
the 1st, 2J, 3d, 4th, 13th, 14th, 18th. lBth,
2Gth, 27th, 28th and 80th. Any vegetables
or flowirs transplanted upon any of the
last named dates will stand only one
chance In fifty of surviving the shock;
those that live will make a very rapid
growth, but at the expense of the fruit
and flowers. If farmers and seed planters
will heed these warnings they can enrich
this country to the tune of 1(0,000,000 each
and every year.
