Election day, Nov. 5.
' Senator Quay's selection of ex-Lleu-tenant
Governor Watres as northeast
ern Pennsylvania's representative on
the state executive commltteo Is at
once a deserved compllpun and an In
dication of the senator's preference
unont the half-dozen local lieutenants
trho were striving to catch his eye. The
able gentlemen who were thU9 passed
by can probably yet set recociiltion. If
they will first obtain Colonel Watres'
Indorsement.
Russia and Japan.
No student of current events can fall
to take Interest In the Hearing proba
bility of a war between Japan and
Russia for the control of the neutral
seaports of Asia; and, eventually, ftr
the mastery In Eastern politics. The
assertion of Chester Holcomb, our ex
perienced secretary of the Pekln lega
tion, mat. actual nosuuues may oe ex
pected at any time confirms the Inter
view lately had at Toklo by Colonel
John A. Cockerlll, of the (New York
Herald, with tin eminent Japanese dip
lomatist who, for prudential reasons,
insisted upon the concealment of his
name. In this Interview, the cause of
tha tiouble was aslgned cm an Inevita
ble conflict of expanding Interests and
ambitions, greatly heightened, so far
as Japan rs concerned, by Russia's
treatment of that empire during Its
war wKh China.
"In the outset of our war with
China," said ' the aforementioned
'Japarese dip'.im'ailst, "the sympa
thies of England were so markedly on
the side of China that we had good rea
son to believe that at some stage of
the war she would interfere on behalf
of China. It was but natural to sup
pose that In such event Russia would
be found on our side. We regarded
her aa our friend In this quarrel, and
officially announced her to be such.
When she began reinforcing her squad
ron In these waters we supposed that
she f as prepar.r.g to circumvent Eng
land. To Jiir astonishment, It turned
out tha she (had secretly been Intrigu
ing against ua. Her conduct was
treacherous, not to say cowardly. Our
minister in St Petersburg should have
known something of the Tartar game,
but not advising us, we went ahead at
Shlmonoaekl and In the end were
robbed and humiliated." And very
naturally a nation that has been
"robbed and humiliated" doea not ex
hlbit marked love for the power that
did the robbing and the humiliating.
Aa to results, the Japanese speaker
doubted his country's ability to cope
with Russia on Russian or neutral soil;
but on home ground, he assured Colo
nel Cockerlll that the Japanese are
confident of victory. The Japanese
standing army is to be Increased to
200,000 men, 'all armed with repeating
rifles; and 'the Japanese navy trebled
in size. The great desire of the Japan
ese, It appears, la to retain the sym
pathy of foreign nations, aid the offi
cial before quoted:'
When I was In BL Petersburg two years
a so I was told by a Russian diplomat that
Juipan could not expand because the Chris
tian nations of the earth could not afford
to see a heathen power arlne to force and
prominence and become an Influence In
the world's affairs. I presume that Rus
sia, in helping to keep Japan out of her
war-won territory In Llao-Tong, consoles
herself with 4h Idea that she Is aiding
Christianity. The Christianity which
Russia maintains Is that which makes her
abnolute csar a pope, and which srourxeg
and stamps out all other Christian sects
and organisations. There Is no place on
earth where there Is so little religious tol
erance as In Russia today. In 1x77, when
RiMRla made her cruel raid upon the Turk,
after Intriguing to have Christiana butch
ered In Bulgaria to afford pretext for the
war, she won a great deal of sympathy
by her war cry of "The cross against the
crescent." Bhe Is aouhtlcss prepared to
set up the cross against the torll of Japan
In her future aggression, but it strikes me
that the paganism of Japan Is as good for
the world at large as Is the so-cnlled
Christian Mr of the Impeccable czar. The
theory of the czar that he has apoxtollo
power Is no less heathenish than our faith
that an emperor Is divinely appointed to
rule us. If we of Japan are demonstrat
ing that pagans can have good laws, con
stitutional government, newspapers, fine
educational systems, stesmshlps, railways,
telegraphs, factories, armies, navies and
all that pertains to modern science, what
is Russia doing to demonstrate the ad
vantages of Christianity f
, This point Is cleverly taken; and we
dare say, that as between the two
powers, American sympathy will favor
Japan, which Is at once the ' smaller
and the younger, but by no means the
weaker nation.
. The Carbondale Herald . does not
concur In . the .opinion that as com
pared with a true American like Lin
coln, General Washington diminishes
Into a minor character. The subject Is
purely one of personal- Judgment
There are no set rules by which his
toric Dgarea stay be measured, Yet we
betters, with . the profoundeat respect
to Ihe memory of our noble first presl-1
dent that the name of all names that
will live longest and command of the
future the greatest homage In connec
tion with free government is that of
the first martyr president the homely,
philosophical, undaunted Lincoln.
The proposition to have the next
legislature abolish the Superior court
comes, naturally enough, from the
Democrats, who fancy they see In it a
chance to re-open the recent war of
Republican factions. In the meantime,
sensible Republicans will not lend aid
to this transparentDemocratlc trick.
The Condition of Labor.
It la announced that one of the pieces
of proposed national legislation which
will come before congress at Its next
session Is the bill authorizing the ap
pointment of a non-partisan commis
sion of twenty-one persons to consider
and recommend legislation to meet the
problems presented by labor, agricul
ture and capital. This bill was intro
duced by Representative Phillips, of
Pennsylvania, lost session and was
unanimously reported from the com
mittee, but did not come up for action
in the house on account of pressure of
other matters." (Mr. Phillips will offer
it again next session. It is understood,
and urge Its passage. The bill Is
strongly endorsed by the labor leaders,
and Is exceedingly careful and compre
hensive in its details.
In this connection, as Illustrative of
the recent progress of the cause of
labor In this country, it is opportune to
study the course of wages from 1S40 to
1S92, as shown by Labor Commissioned
Wright's investigation of wages and
prloea. The commissioner takes 1S60
as his point of departure, calling the
wages and prices of that year 100, and
then goes back twenty years, year by
year, to 1840, and forward thirty-two
years to 1S!2 reducing the wages and
prices each year to a gold basis. Ills
result by periods are as follows:
Wages. Prices.

In order to fully understand and ap
preciate this tabulated statement. It
Is, as the tsteemed Washington Post
remarks, "Important to bear in mind
that the hours of labor were reduced
from an average of eleven and one-half
hours a day In 1840, to ten hours In 1892,
and that, notwithstanding this very
material reduction, the standard of
wages, estimated on. the gold basis,
steadily Increased, and there was a still
greater Increase In purchasing power."
Furthermore, w are reminded by
the same authority that there "Is
scarcely a state In tho Union whose
legislation has not been materially
changed at the demand and In the
Interest of labor. In the manufactur
ing and mining states, especially, labor
has secured many and great reforms
through legislation. The lives and
health of worklngmon In mines and
factories and on railways have been
protected by national and state laws
that wero not, dreamed of fifty years
ago. Other laws In the same general
direction are contemplated, and some
of them will be enacted. States that
are behind the most progressive In this
matter will be pushed forward, for
there Is no legitimate demand of the
worklngmen of the United States that,
If properly presented, will be slight
ingly treated."
Upon the whole, labor faces the fu
ture with hope delineated In every
feature of Rs countenance.
Senator Quay will have, In the next
legislature, an opportunity for orna
mental penmanship on the scroll of
fame such as comes to few men. We
sincerely trust that he will measure up
to it
Wherefore This Delay.
It Is a circumstance fraught with not
a little humiliation that our state de
partment, In the Waller case, has per
mitted a foreign power to keep an
Amerioan citizen in jail for months
without submitting for its considera
tion a transcript of the evidence upon
which the imprisonment was based. If
report be true, our demand for such a
transcript has been studiously evaded
by France, which has acted In the
premises as if It regarded the arbitrary
seizure of 'American citizens as a thing
of absolutely no consequence. The
conclusion to all this long-drawn pot
tering and tinkering will, of course, be
Mr. Waller's release. Public sentiment
In this country would never consent
to a different result. Rut In the mean
time, the subject of negotiation lies
helpless in prison, a vlotlm at once
of French Impudence and American
cowardice. 'What ought to be done is
to Insist upon his Immediate release,
leaving the determination of damages
to future negotiations, ATid if there
were at the head of the state depart
ment a man of .resolution like the late
Mr. lilalne, this outcome would be
achieved in less than forty-eight hours,
and France would think all the more
of us.
- a "
The promised "movement" of the
Washington state department In the
Waller case appears to advance faster
than the eye can follow. At all events,
it Is Invisible.
Will Soothe Ruffled Nerves.
An early consequence of the advent
of the horseless wagon will doubtless
be a marked decrease In the number
of nervous diseases In large cities. We
reason out this conclusion as follows:
Much of the present nervousness In
cities Is occasioned by the noise of
heavy drays rattling over cobble stone
or block pavements, and by the yelling
of profane drivers. The horseless
wagon has pneumatic tires, and runs
with as little noise as a bicycle. The
lack of a horse to swear at will close
the driver's mouth and materially pro
mote the tranquility of tha neighbor
hood. Consequently one of the prime
causes of neurotlo affections will be
eliminated, and' the publlo health will
be correspondingly Improved. '
In this connection It Is Interesting to
note that a highly successful exhibi
tion of a horseless wagon was made
leas than a fortnight ago in New York
ity. The vehicle In question was un
ited from Paris, where It had been In
use as an omnibus, and will now be
used by a large Gotham dry goods
store as a delivery wagon. It moved
noiselessly, speedily and graoefully,
and all who witnessed the test speak
with enthusiasm as to Its entire suc
cess. Costing from 35 to 60 cents per
day. It is already cheaper than the two
horse plan of propulsion. Cut when
Yankee Ingenuity gets through with
this vehicle. Its cost will bo reduced
and Its power very largely augmented;
and the publlo will be under the sad
necessity of bidding a final farewell to
Its faithful servant, the horse.
In the course of a beautiful tribute,
the Washington Post says of the late
Major Richard H. Sylvester, long-time
Its associate editor: "He was thor
oughly Bkllled in all the branches of his
chosen profession, and was one of
those to whom It was a profession and
not merely a business. His heart was
In his work." The young man who
wishes to know how success may be
won in the newspaper business is rec
ommended to digest the significance of
this pregnant observation. It crystal
lizes whole volumes of advice.
Uncle Sam and Cuba.
The strong case made by a Cuban
American contributor to the Phila
delphia Press in the matter of the
International aspects of this gov
ernment's attitude toward Spain will
deservedly attract widespread atten
tion. After quoting from tin. Century
dictionary Its definition of the word
neutrality to wit: "The state of be
ing neutral, or of being unengaged in a
dispute or contest between others; the
taking of no part on either side; in
International law the attitude or con
dition of a nation or state which does
not take part directly or indirectly in
a war between other states, but main
tains relations of amity with all the
contending parties" this correspond
ent pertinently adds:
As the Cuban patriots now lighting for
self-government huvo not been recognized
as a state, or even us belligerents, by the
Kovernment of the l'nlted State, the
Pnanlxh government refusing to acknowl
edge thut there is a war in Cuba, the in
ternational law of neutrality could not
have uny apllcalinii to their case. Yet,
this is 'the law Invoked to Justify the ac
tion of the present administration In using
its full power to prevent the shipping of
arm and ammunition for the real or al
leged use of the republican Cubans,
whereas the monarchical Slumlords aro
permitted openly to buy and tit up war
vessels In this republic to tight the for
mer! Is this. In a moral and higher
sense, strict, Impartial neutrality?
"The Spanish government!" he tell
ingly adds, "sends Its war vessels to
our own ports to keep a watch on al
leged filibusters, has filled our princi
pal cities and seaports with spies and
detectives to shadow every Cuban and
even every American citizen who is
suspected of giving any assistance to
the Cuban cause, which Is the cause of
freedom and republicanism. The sym
pathies of the great American people
are all with Cuba, as Is voiced by the
American press throughout this glori
ous nation; but the present administra
tion seems to have embraced the cause
of Spain, to the point of straining the
provisions of an unapplicable Interna
tional law. even to the sending of Its
men of war to Cuban waters to help In
upholding a tyrannical European gov
ernment against a people of America
struggling for liberty."
It Is, Indeed, enough to make patriot
Ism tired.

ARE CRIMINALS SANE ?
Dr. Forbes Winslow, of London, the dls
tlnuulKhed specialist In mental disorders,
arrived ,n New Vork Saturduy on the Bt.
Louis, and was promptly interviewed by
the Hun. Said he: "In my opinion a vory
small proportion of men accused of crime
ore sane. An instance of this, and the
way the law treats it, occurred in a
murder known In England as tho
Old Kent road murder. A wretched
old man killed his wife and almost
succeeded In cutting his throat. If
the point of the knife had reached an
Inch further It would have cut his Jugular
vein and the verdict of a coroner's iurv
would have been that he had killed his
wiro and committed suicide when tempo
rarily Insane. But it happened that the
knife did not penetrate fur enough to
kill him. So as soon as he was well
enough to come out of the hosnilal he was
dragged to the Old Bailey and tried for
muracr. He was wretchedly wounded,
with a great hole 'In the side of his throat,
but the Jury decided that he was not In
sane, ami ho was hanged. I talked to him
In his cell at recess on the day of his trial,
and was convinced that he was a lunatic.
It turned out to be true, for after his
death a lot of letters written by him wero
found, and they wero perfectly irresponsl.
ble, Indicating undoubtedly that thoir
writer 'was Insane.
"Not only are most murderers homicidal
lunatics, but homicidal lunacy In London
Is Increasing very rapidly, particularly
among young men between 18 and 25 years
old. I think the Incrense comes chiefly
from the force of Imitation. These bovs
read about men who have committed mur
ders; their minds become filled with the
stories of them; the pulpit does all thut !t
can to make the situation worse by
preaching about these men, and this com
bination tins Its effect on their youthful
minds. They wont to do something of tho
same kind themselves to attract tho same
attention to them, and I am certain It Is
this motive which is the strongest now in
the increase of the number of young
men In Ixmlon who are tried for murder.
But thoy are homicidal lunatics Just the
same, even If it be only this force of Imi
tation which Inspires them. They sre
not responsible; their brains are affected.
Homicidal lunacy , unlike suicidal lunacy,
!s curable. A homicidal lunatic mav re
cover entirely from the attack which led
him to commit a certain crime, hut at the
snme time he will never be safe st larre.
Of nil Ihe men that are saved from the
gallows In England by establishing their
lunacy not one has ever been Bet free.
They aro all sent to Broadmoor prison,
the prison for the criminal Insnne. From
suicidal lunacy a patient rarely recovers,
even for a brief period. It takes the form
of melancholy, and for that reason It Is
rarely ever shaken off. When I go Into a
room and find a man raving, with three
men holding him down, I feel-very much
more encouraged than If he walks Into
my presence quietly and soberly, with a
look of melancholy.

"My theory of the Jack the Ripper mur
ders was that they were the work of a re
ligious maniac who fancied that he had
some grudge to pay agnlnst these women.
When Itiroposed the theory first In Lon
don I got letters from every quarter.
After the third murder I got one signed

same writing that was found on the arches
In Whltechnpnl after the murders were
committed. One of the people who wrote
to me at that time was a lodging-house
keeper. He said that a young medical stu
dent lived with him, and he desorlbed this
man's actions on the nights when the first
three murders ocourred. At each time

the lodging house told me these facta, t
investigated them and found .them to be
true. I got a pair of the man's shoes that

appeared and no trace could be found of
him. I went to Scotland Yard and asked
them to assist me in the matter and put
an olhcer at my disposal, so that we could
look for tho man, but they refused to do
that and I was unwilling to undertake
tlio whole thing myself. Later I wrote to
one of the newspapers an account of this
young mun und my theory of the way in
which the murders were committed. From
thut time there was not another murder,
and that strengthened me more than ever
in the belief hat I could bit upon the
right man. Somewhat later the body of
this medical studeent was found in the
Thumes. He had drowned himself.
"I have had a greut deal of experience
In kleptomania, particularly of late, and
It seems to me the cases are growing very
much more frequent. I attribute that also
to the force of Imitation, Just as In the
cases of murder. Moral lunacy, which Is

of this kind would come, tukes many
forms, and It Is Impossible to toll in what

CONVENTION ECHOES.
W. H. Relff, In Nonlstown Herald.
The peoplo of Pennsylvania will only be
too eager to see the legislature refoumed.
Iet competent men be iput In place on
their merits and there will not be that
bungling legislation of old. Allow bills to
pass on their merits and not wait for or
ders from a "boss." Prevent corpora
tions from Intimidating senators and rep
resentatives by "easy facilities." Stop this
"squeezing" In legislation and the abso
lute purchase of legal enactments by
worming thorn through the legislature. If
the constitution Is obeyed and the right
kind of representatives are sent here,
there will be much needed reform. All of
which Senator Quay lias pledged himself
to and ho will be ably assisted and re
ceive the good wishes of the people all
over the state. Give us a "Model" legis
lature. We hud one In 18S!, but that wa
a fuke. Kei"p all the lobbyists and leaders
away and give the pcopiu a chance. They
certainly can't do any worse and make
any more mistakes than have been made
in the past.
Possibly the people will get some bene
fit after all out of this fight as it's fre
quently said. It Is true that It's only when
the politicians get to fighting that the
public good Is looked after. We all know
that reform movements as a general thing
d!o out after the eruptions, ll's the poli
tician to fear when he becomes a re
former, as he knows all the tricks and
trades and while he may be Instigated by
reverge yet the results are far more bene
ficlnl even if he Is driven to It by force of
uln.'Uin.itnn':cH. No one knows better how
to reform political methods and enforce
reform legislation than ho who has been
through nil of it ami up to tho present
time has been opposed 'to reform.
Tho strongest nnd best feature aibout the
convention was the platform. If there has
bten no other public buiictlt acquired over
this struggle a strict obedience to every
letter laid down In the adoption of the re
port of the committee on resolutions and
n sincere effort to carry it out In every
particular will be of vastly more Impor
tance to the people than the fact that some
particular individual or individuals! repre
senting this or that faction were nomi
nated and elected. A stronger platfonn,
honestly carried out, could not have been
desired by the good Republicans of this
commonwealth.
In summing up the results of the con
vention thore Is one source of congratula
tion out of the wholo business, and that
Is, the Democrats nre th biggest fooled
lot of allies in the whole set. They nhont

It will be amusing to see what their tac

From the Olobe-Dcmocrnt.
Tho ipapers nre generally saying that
Quay's triumph means that Pennsylvania

votes of Pennsylvania against htm.
