SOKIANTON, AUGUST 2S. 1S9R.
Hundreds of little Domocrntle organs
about the country nre clfarins their
throats to loin In the chorus. "I Told
You So!"
Today's Convention.
By one of those swift mutations conv
mon 111 politics, a convention of the iW-
publicans of Pennsylvania which, four
months ago, would h.ive excited no in
terest whatever, beyond the friends of
the few candidate for state office. Is to
day transformed into an epochal event
In the history of the commonwealth,
Whatever Its Immediate outcome, it
will pass Into history as the culminat
ing point in a factional war as bitter
and disgraceful as it was utterly
gratuitous. In saying: this we take
careful measure of our words; and con
Aden My appeal to the Impartial' decision
of the future to support our character
ixaHon.
'Here was a party that, lens than nine
months previously, had polled 'the un
exampled plurality of 210.000 votes, the
very highest point ever marked in the
record of tidal wave majorities. It
had by this unprecedented vote re
placed a Democratic by a Republican
governor; turned a comparatively closo
legislature Into a shining example of
Democratic absence; and seated In the
various minor elective offices In the
executive departments a harmonious
handful of contented Republicans.
Never before had .Republican prospects
looked more roseate. 'Never before had
the partisan sky seemed clearer of po
tential' trouble. Suddenly there came,
through no fault of the party masses,
Mr. Quay's mad attempt to Delamater
. the mayor's office In Philadelphia, In
defiance both of popular protest and
of the admonition of his lifelong friends,
This was rebuked, as it deserved to lie,
and many hoped- that the incident
would close with Mr. Warwick's elee
tlon. But the deceptive lull, which en
sued, was dramatically ended when Mr.
Quay, after assenting to a fair pro
gramme of long-postponed reappor
tionment, abruptly raised the standard
of resistance and by plot and trick and
secret alliance nominally succeeded In
overriding the state constitution. Tet
a third time, after an interval of out
ward calm, this eccentric senator, for
reasons not yet disclosed, leaped Into
the lists against State Clrfiirman Gllke
son, during whose two terms of execu
tive service the party's majority had
multiplied Itself almost by Ave; and
coolly asked the party to follow, with
its eyes blindfolded.
It was at this opportune point In the
curious sequence of surprises that our
long-patient but not cowardly governor
decided to stand up for party manhood,
with consequences already known, and
with victory fairly In sight. The war
was not of his choosing. It was a war
he repeatedly tried to pacify and to ad
Just. It was a war absolutely unpro
voked by any cause other than Mr.
Quay's Inordinate ambition, and sus
tained through Its various stages by no
other motive than Mr. Quay's desire to
humiliate every conspicuous Republi
can In the state not willing to part with
his iblrthrlght In exchange for the sena
tor's uncertain smile. For the starting
and the waging of It Mr. Quay alone Is
responsible; and for the personal conse
quences which will today be incurred
by Its decision In his adversary's favor,
he can have nothing but his own Insen
sate egotism to thank.
It Is. from any standpoint, a painful
hour in the party's history; but the de
feat of Quay will surely prove the
wholesome victory of Justice and com
mon, sense.
A resident of South Dakota claims to
have raised a squash which Is filled
with a sour, milky substance resem
bling Dutch cheese. It lit evident that
some of the campaign seeds distributed
by our bilious contemporary over on
Court House square must have reached
Dakota.
Indications of Prosperity,
The boom In prices of railroad stocks
brought about by Increased traffic on
nearly all roads, especially on the west
ern lines, Is one of the most certain evi
dences of the return of prosperity. As
an exchange truly remarks, tho trans
portation Interests are among the first
to feel and the last to recover from the
effects of a genral business depression.
It strikes at once at freight and passen
ger trafflo and soon reduces business
from a paying to a losing basis. Dur
ing most of the time for the past three
years the railroads of the United States
have suffered more than any other de
partment of business.. They .could not
suspend operations,' as manufacturing
corporations did, but' were compelled to
run trains and keep p expenses that
were, In many lnstanoea, greater than
their receipts, A large- proportion of
the ralfwAy mileage f the country was
forced Jn to the hands of receivers, and
rouoh of It Is still n that condition, ..
But the .tide has .turned-at last and
the railway' managers are confidently
expecting a tons; period of activity In
their business. ?ht revival of manu
faetures and trade has brought a great
Increase In freights. The return of
prosperity has put new life Into the
passenger traffic. There Is a cheerful
feeling all along the lines.
The certainty of a great demand for
transportation tacilitlea to move the
large crops of this abounding year
would be more gratifying to many of
the railroads If they were better pre
pared to meet It. During the period of
depression they could give no attention
to Improvements. They had no use for
additional rolling stock even It they
had been able to pay for It. The result
Is that they now find themselves short
of cars and have little time to supply
the deficiency. It la stated that the
car-build Ing establlhments all over the
country have orders booked for more
cars than can be built this year. They
are working to their full capacity, but
fears are expressed that scarcity of
cars will be seriously felt In a few
weeks when the great wheat and corn
crops are ready for the market.
This large harvest of cereal staples
may be productive of temporary annoy
ances and disappointments, but the In
ability of the roads to handle It as
rapidly as the farmers wish may not
prove nn unmixed evil. A sudden ond
grout rush of grain to market Is not
calculated to enhance prices. Trobulily
the average of prices for a year would
be higher if tho delivery of crops Were
evenly distributed throughout the
months of the year. Rut that plan
would bo Impracticable, liocause the
producers need the pay for their crops,
if, however, there Is an unavoidable de
lay in transportation It will tend to the
maintenance of remunerative prices.
As Tommy Kllrow, the master mind
of the Susquehanna combination, sits
in solitude while Messrs. Wright and
Ml tie receive the senator's smile at
Harrlsburg for work of his planning,
ho must admit that there Is an unusual
amount of Ingrntltudo in politics. From
a distance It looks as though Tommy
had pulled out chestnuts for a very
heartless crowd. It Is apparent to all
that Mr. Kllrow's services have not
been properly recognised In this mut
ter. Proportional Representation.
A good many eminent and earnest
men, whoso character and zeal com
mand genuine respect such men, for
example, as Charles Francis Adams,
Morfleld Storey, William Lloyd Clitrrl-
son, C. C. IJonney. Professor Richard
T. Kly, "Felix Adler, William Dudley
Foulke and iRobert Treat Paine will
meet today at Saratoga to 'discuss a
line of reforms that, when contrasted
with present methods, seem revolution
ary, if not impossible. These men form
the Proportional Representation league,
which aims to introduce in this country
the Swiss free list system of voting, the
essential provisions of which are set
forth below:
Districts are extended so as to Include a
number of representatives to be elected at
lnnto In each one. Small states or cities
may consist of but one district, air.tl mem
bers would then be elected on a Keneral
ticket. Large ones may be subdivided so
that each subdivision would have a con
venient number of representatives. Any
group or voters may be entitled to norm
tin to candidates under suitable restric
tions. A voter has as many votes as there
are candidates to be elected and can Rive
one of them to earn of as many candidates
as he chooses. These votes are counted
for the candidates voted for. All of the
votes to which a voter Is entitled nro
counted for the party to which the candl
dates he tins voted for belong. After the
election the sum of all the party votes
which may havo been, nven In the district
Is divided by the number of representa
tives to be elected and the quotient Is tho
quota of representation. The total num
ber of votes cast for each party divided
by this quota determines tho number of
memhera that It is entitled to, nno mat
number of candidates In each party who
have received the h uhest number of mill
vidua! votes are declared elected. Should
there mot bo cnoucrh full quotas to elect
all the members, the required number is
taken from the party or parties having the
largest unfilled quotas. Should there be n
vacancy during a term of office the re
mainder or tho term is served ny tne can
1Mne of the same party whoso vote was
highest of thoso not at first chosen.
As nn example of tho way In which
this system would work. It Is explained
that California is entitled to seven
roripxessmen. Instead of districts, as
now. the entire seven representatives
would under this plan he elected at
large.- By dividing tho total vote of
the state by seven the quotient would
he the quota of representation, and
whenever any jmrty ticket' receives
one-seventh of nil the votes cast It
elects one representative upon Its tick
et, if twice the number, two represen
tatives, and so on. Thus any body of
voters having a quota would be enti
tled to ono of the vacancies. The only
question which then remains is, which of
the candidates of each party shall have
the scats? The candidate who receives
tho iriost votes gets the first place and
trie next gets the second place, and so
nn. If a seat becomes vacant during
the term, the remainder of the term Is
served by the candidate of the same
party having tho next highest number
of voles.
So far as theory goes, this system ap
pears to work ndmlrably. But Inas
much as the method of casting the
votes and the safeguarding of the
count would, under this proposition, re
main in the hands of the professional
politicians, who would continue to
govern their actions as at present, by
their partisan necessities, the net gain
to the public Interest, If any, would be
small. Tho old system, the system of
the fathers. Is abundantly good enough
If properly protected ; and the more .we
think over Judge Stewart's plan of
getting people out to the party prima
ries by threatening the stay-at-homes
with dif.franchlsement, the more we are
1-npresNcd with the belief that It Is the
proper solution to apply.
The ninth annual reunion of the sur
vivors of the Pennsylvania Second
(Heavy artillery, held In Mils city yes
terday, was one of the notable events
of the week. The regiment, including
the veterans who assembled In Scran-
ton, made one of the most brilliant rec
ords of any during the war of the re
bellion, and Scran ton, or In fact any
other city, may feel honored by the
presence of this handful of heroes who
gather each year to deal in reminiscence
and renew old ties of friendship. All
honor to the warriors Of the heavy
artillery! May they live 'Jn peace and
prosperity to enjoy manlr more re
unions of the pleasure'able character of
yesterday's meeting.
The leading --spirit In the recent
massacre of (Bannock IndlansVwas one
"Rye" Smith, whose father wis killed
by the Indians In 1878. "Rye" sterns to
have undertaken tha oontraot vf e
terminating tha tBannock tribe, and at
present rate Is liable to. succeed unless
something Is done to check his rapid
career. If here are any young Ameri
can missionaries out of aa engagement
who are desirous of converting the
Chinese vegetarians at some future
date, they might during vacation profit
ably employ their 41me In the endeavor
to convince "Rye of the error of his
way. A man who has caused the
death of fifteen or twenty human beings
Is certainly not to be sneeaed at as a
subject for missionary attention.
(Murderer Holmes seems to think that
he has been neglected during the past
few days, and has expressed a willing
ness to talk for the papers. It Is hoped
that his offers will not be accepted.
The public has heard enough about
Holmes. An account of his hanging
will be about the onlySthlng that will
hereafter prove Interesting.
It Is a pleasure to note that the series
of green cucumber editorials in the
Scranton Republican, bearing upon the
Quay-Hastings trouble, will soon be
discontinued.
Quay's desperation Is best evidence of
the shadows of coming defeat.

PRICE OF THE PRESIDENCY.
From tho Chlcaco Times-Herald.
Time was when a presidential election
was decided on somo great quest.on 01
principle or theory of government on
which the people were honestly divided
in (inlnlnn. or 0.1 ion vurvlnu estimates of
tho chnracter, ability and patriotism of
the respective candidates. A moderate
expenditure was necessary to put the
nominee fnlrlv before the ueoole. but no
body ever stopped to think whother nn
nmiirnnt for the nomination was rich
enough or had friends wealthy enough to
put up hnlf a million dollars or more on
the presumption that the office will go to
the hiKhest Milder ana inni tne opposition
will nut iv 1 at least that much. Tho
money required to elect any president
from (leorge Washington to u. a. uram
would not be enough nowadays to carry
congressional district, no, not even to
rnrrv a ward tn some of our big cities,
William Waldorf Astor spent as much
money as General Washington was worth
In an unsuccessful attempt to win a seat
In congress from New Torn, anu uovep
nor Flower, who defeated him, spent a
small fortune In the effort. Many con
gressmen snend their salary ror tne term
ten thousand dollars In making their
calling find election sure, and genatornhlps
have sold as high as half a tnlllon dollars.
For a presidency, then, a trillion must be
In sight.
For what? Of course there nre legiti
mate expenses, and they are not small;
but they ennot reach any such figure.
Tickets must be printed when, as is not
often the case now, the Btate does not
nrovlde them. There must be a distribu
tion of documents. Halls must be hired.
bands of music engaged, banners painted,
and thero are numberless Items coming
under the head of advertising. But these
things aro usually cared for by local com
mittees. Public speakers are necesary,
and so long as men of tho CarlSnhurs type
tnke that view of the case they must be
paid for, but with so much oratorical
ability available and with so many well
equipped speakers as candidates for the
minor offices, they ought to be within
reach for tho good of the cause, or at
most for their t traveling expenses. Allow
a good deal more for sundries and still
the question Is unanswered for what?
Why was tt that when Hancock, a poor
man, was nominated for president the
second place on the ticket had to be sold
for IKiO.000 to s miserly Indlanlan, who
afterward repudiated the contract and
had to he taken, literally by the "throat by
W. H. llarnum, chairman of the national
Democratic committee, to secure payment
of the price? Why was It that when Gar
field was nominated, Arthur, with his
backing of rich New York friends, had to
be coupled with him? It does not alter
the rase that Arthur, then unknown ex
cept to politicians, and to them only as a
spoilsman, aMor-word made one of the
best of presidents. Why was It that
Morton, who also turned out well, was
tacked on to Harrison In ISSS. that Harrison
wns charged with falling to milk his rich
friends, thnit Morton's one hundred
thousand was tiot enough, and that ac
cording to credible testimony Chairman
Quay had to fry the eastorn manufactur
ers in the fat of their own wealth In order
to raise several hundred thousand dollars
more? .For what? .
Why was It that''tlooa,0( had to be
spent for Tllden to secure a. nomination
and claim an election? He was the last
man in the world to buy a pig In a bag,
and yet he thought he waS buying some
thing and actually put up a quarter of a
million out of his own pocket. Whv was
it necessary to levy assessments to the
extent of hundreds of thousands of dollars
on new rors importers to make Cleve
land president the first time? and why In
addition to supplies from the same source
and the contribution of a mammoth ear.
poratlon grldimnlng large 'oitles, was It
necessary ror wniMun u. wnitney to cnlp
In a quarter of a million on his awn an.
count to give tha aama upright man a re
election? All this big money for what?
There la soaBethsna: wrong about such
enormous expeaaiveaeM of campaigns,
and the people will want, sooner or later,
a bill of particular, even now, with the
presidential election a year away, the
politicians behind the scenes are slaing up
the worldly circumstances and expecta
tions of men within the range of presi
dential nominations. If they have their
way It will be easier for a camel to go
through the eye of a needle than for a
preidentr It poor, somebody or some
corporation must ge on his bond.
A million dollars for what?
FREE TRADE WAGES. .
From the Chicago Times-Herald.
la a general characterisation of free
traders, uttnred during a presidential
campaign. General Harrison declared
them to be "students of maxims instead
of markets." Mr. Harrison never gave
expression to a greater truism. The
American people have had occasion to
ponder over its i llthfulnes during an era
of smokeless factory chimneys and tiro
less forties. They have also found oppor
tunity during a period of unprecedented
Industrial depression to ruminate over the
proposition that a few cold facta wil kick
to death the finest .theory ever spun by
colli k- professors or dreamy writers upon
political abstractions. Borne of the facts
that threaten to kick to death the vapid
sophistries of the free traders are Just
now coming from the Orle.iit. There are
no beautiful theories or fdiiciful abstrac
tions ubout these facts. They conic
clothed In the commercial raiment of
cold llpines that oiiKht to send a chill
down the spinal column of every Ameri
can workliiKinan ami put to shame the
campaign howlers who have tried year
after year to tiim-llain the artisans and
mechanics of this country Into the belief
that their condition would be Improved
by allowing our markets to be deluged
with tho pioduols of cheap foreign lubor.
If European labor Is cheap, As'atlc lnlior
Is cheaper. Recent Investigations of the
Industrial conditions that obtain in China
and Japan have resulted In revelations
that muy well exclle the apprehension of
every friend of American labor. It Is
authoritatively stated as a result of per
sonal acquaintance with the facts that
tho oiieratives in Chinese cotton mills are
paid from h to 10 cents a day. Should the
ports of this country he thrown open free
to the oriental manufacturer tho com
petition would not only he ruinous to
American manufacturer but the produc
ers of raw materials would also suffer
heavily. ' A glance at the wonderful
growth of China and Japan In the Indus
trial arts must convince any fair-minded
man that the United States has more to
fear from the Orient than from all the
countries In the old world.' To exclude
Chinese laborers from the country and
throw open the mrta to the products of
t'hlnese Inhor would bo a piece of monu
mental folly unworthy of a republic that
bits always prided itself upon Its match
less opportunities for securing a Just re
word for skill and and Industry. For
American manufacturers to be compelled
to pay a eriile of wages adjusted to the
Chinese or Japanese standard would mean
a degradation of American labor to the
Chinese level, which we all know Is un
speakably low uml vile.
The reason that China and Japan are to
day buying lai'fte quantities of Knglish
and American piece poods is because these
countries only recently lenrned to manu
facture these goods and have not suin
clent sp'ndle cupnelty as yet to supply the
home demand. Hut their rauld acquisi
tion of the secrets ol these Industries has
been phenomenal. Shanirhnl, China, will
soon become a manufacturing metropolis
rlvalhr.g Lowell, Mans., and Manchester.
England. It mut also be borne In mind
that China's capacity for producing raw
materials Is practically Inexhaustible, Its
resources are tremendous, and the ability
of its people to subsist upon what can be
purchnsed for 2 or 3 cents a day makes the
prospect of Industrial competition with
such n country most disastrous to con
template. The complotlon nf the Slherinn
railway to Vladlvostock will also open up
possibilities of comiietltion that will be
fraught with serious menace to European
as well as American manufacturers.
The Indissoluble industrial brotherhood
of mnn, which Is a cardinal tenet of free
trade expounders. Is a beautiful theory,
but the racial differences that soparnte
the America rs nml Chinese are so pro
nounced and so Ineradicable that nny
prospect of degrading American labor and
American Id-eas of living to the Chinese
level, which would ultimately follow free
nhd open comiietltion with the products
of their mills, tills the mind of n patriotic
man with deep concern. Happily the
American people, regardless of pnst party
srrvltude, aie gradually awakening to
the fnct that it Is better to pay a little
more for the goods we wear than to de
base and Impoverish American labor.
