Election day, Nov. 5.
The Republican league convention at
York next week will be more than a
love feast. It will be a council of war,
not factional, but national a council
of war for the preservation of Ameri
can industries and the protection of
American interests In all parts of the
world.
Degeneracy In Literature.
There la a large chorus of assent
waiting for Just such wholesome senti
ment as Is expressed In a letter by
Mrs. Hattle Tyng Grlswold to a Chi
cago contemporary: "Whatever wo
may think," she writes, "of Dr. Nor
dau's "Degeneracy' as a whole and
there Is little difference of opinion
about Its being a morbid and hurtful
book for the general reader we must
admit much truth In the parts devoted
to recent literature. A generation ago
nearly all new books were clean and
wholesome. Even longer ago than that,
there was comparatively little that the
most fastidious could object to In Eng
lish books. Dickens was a model In
this respect, and Thackeray, thorough
ly healthy, though we are told that ho
felt the restraint of always writing
with the English 'young person' In his
mind. George Eliot was Irreproach
able, though In Adam Bede she told a
story which the 'degeneratea' would
have made much of. In her hands It
has all the solemn splendor of a sermon
by Taylor, the Shakespeare of divines.'
Even the minor novelists did not de
scend to dirt.
"But there has been a new 'Descent
Into Hell,' and Just now, English novel
lsts are rivaling, If not outdoing, the
French In Immorality. Even the hlde
ous memoirs of Barras, probably the
most loathsome book published in this
century, are rivaled by novels which
have a great vogue among a certain
class of men and women with a slight
semblance of respectability about
them. It is no longer found necessary
to look for a 'suggestive' novel under
the counters. They are published now
by leading houses, and openly praised
In the papers. Even religious periodi
cals advertise them. Free love docu
ments, twenty years ago, were in dan
ger of suppression by the police. Now
the 'Woman Who Did,' with all it crud
ity and dullness, is issued by a reput
able house, and noticed in some of the
best papers. ,
"It is greatly to be hoped that Ameri
can writers will remain true to the tra
ditions of the fathers. Not a line in the
works of our great writers needs to be
blotted out. And the best are as pure
today as in any former period. Any
girl may read Ilowells, or James, or
Cable. Let those of lesser note' heed
the lesson of the masters, and not fol
low the lead of the cripples and clownB
of literature. Newspapers and maga
zines can do much to repel this new
Irruption of the barbarians. Let them
ignore, and not parade, this erotic
poison. Let them save for noble works
the space they, give to literary criti
cisms. The great reading world will
be at their back. Only a few degener
ates desire any other action."
Mrs. Grlswold's complaint, while Just,
is not beyond remedy. It Is very evi
dent to the attentive observer of liter
ary phenomena that the erase for de
generate novels has passed Its flood
tide, and Is now steadily, if not rapidly,
receding. The pure and wholesome
stories of Ian Maclaren today. In a
score of our leading cities, far outsell
the fetid fictions of 55ola, George Moore,
Du iMaurier and Oscar Wilde. Upon
the stage, pruriency Is again at a dis
count, and the erotio flush of the sex
problem play is giving way to healthy
interest In clean pictures of rational
men, women and manners. In the ag
gregate, affairs In the world of letters
are really much better than they were,
and the end of the reaction is not yet.
The vigorous denial by Mayor War
wick of recent assertions that he had
utilised the Philadelphia police force
in the recent factional contest will not
end the charges, for the reason that
they were hot founded on faot, but
were based wholly on malice.
Cuba's Brightening Hopes.
. It Is reported at Washington ' that
confidential advices to the state depart
ment from Cuba are to the
effect that Spanish , rule " in
that Island oannot 'last f many
months longer; and that the establish
ment of a republic nay be expected.
This result, it is thought, will be large
ly due to the attitude, of the planters,
who are not anxious to continue pay
ing tribute to BtaOrld and who, in fact,
are unable to do so any longer. It la
said that Spain's sudden anxiety to
pay the .Mora claim was due to the be
lief that it would be well to have the
friendliness of this country when the
change came In Cuba.
This will be gratifying news to true
Americans everywhere. It Is a con
ceded fact that no well-informed per
son on the American mainland ex
presses sincere sympathy for the nota
bly unsuccessful Spanish side of the
Cuban controversy. Spanish control of
the 'gem of .the Antilles" has been,
from the beginning, a vampire mastery,
that has Bapped the substance of the
native Cubans without rendering any
thing like adequate advantages in re
turn. The flag of Spain on that fer
tile but unfortunate island Is the sym
bol of a most Insidious tyranny, which
to be unreservedly condemned by
Americans needs only to be observed
by them ill its dally operation. Cuba
has a right to home rule; and It Is our
own belief that the United States, as
the pioneer and chief example of free
government, has a right to help her
got it. At all events, Americans to a
man are unofllclally sympathetic.
The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Times undertakes a big
contract when he tries to bowl Con
gressman John 'Dalzell Into obscurity
because of his opposition to Mr. Quay.
A man like Dalzell can be depended
upon to hold his own, whatever the op
position. Academic Shortsightedness.
It has often -'been charged against
the so-called. 'higher education that It
weakens the foundations of patriotism
by Inculcating visionary aspirations to
ward'an universal brotherhood of man.
The argument Is that when men get
their heads so far up In the sky that
their own country appears to them
simply as one of many spots on the
map. It Is entirely reasonable to expect
of them a diminished ardor of regard
for that country and Its Institutions,
and a relaxed vigilance In behalf of
their welfare. We shall not discuss
the point; but wish merely to cull
attention to it while we quote a curi
ous paragraph from an article by 8.
Parkea Cadman in the current Chau
tauquun. The article Is for the chief
part a statistical demonstration of the
widespread prevalence of the English
language; but at one point in it the
uuthor steps aside to say:
If the segments of the great empire of
Anglo-Saxondom do not full out among
tlieumelves, the gume Is theirs, and a bet
ter uiiduratunii'.ntf ihuu the present spirit
of carping criticism which occasionally
degenerates Into Ignorant bullying on both
Hliles Is a desideratum Just now between
the two chief members of this colossal
body England and America. It La not
nrcessary to be loud-mouthed In our pro
fessed hatred for the one in order that we
may show how much we kive the other,
if some irresponsible editors on either
slilf uf the sea on whose divided shores
brethren dwell work'.ng out the problem of
man's destiny for axes; if these free-lance
wlelders of the pen could but take the
wider vision a great alumbllng block in
tho way or amity and true unity of feel
ing would be removed. But so lung as a
leader in the profession of American
journalism urges thut the destruction of
Britain's power would be a chluf boon
to civilization; so lonir as the deplorable
und high-handed policy of England In
seltllnK disputes Is persevered In, so long
ns tactful and courteous deiiling upon tho
part of our diplomats Is heavily discount
eil; so long a pusillunlmity is being im
puted by people to whom International

purpose concerning men and the world
upon wnicn men live.
It occurs to us to ask 'Mr. S. Parkes
Cadman how he became enlightened ns
to what constitutes "God's purpose'
concerning this terrestial sphere; but
upon second thought we will leave this
bit of assumption to Itself. The point to
which we will request attention Is tho
curious coincidence that whenever, in
the course of our dealings with other
nations, American rights are Ignored
and American citizens abused, the cry
of "Jingoism," with which a manly as
sertlon of the national dignity Is Invarl
ably greeted, comes, not from the mod-
erately schoolod medial and poorer
classes, the "plain people" as Lincoln
culled them, but always from the high-
browed, over-educated, ultra-cultured
post-graduates of our universities,
who, In their school-day dreams of
political universality, lose sight of
present conditions and necessities. It
may be that In distant aeons all man
kind will dwell peaceably under one
government; but so long as there
chance to be, on this rude earth, a con
sldernble number of often-clashing
governments, surely it does not Ae-
mean the American people to take care
of, their own.
"When Dan Lamont went to Wash
Ington," says the Rochester Post-Ex-
press, "he was very poor; and Uncle
Sam was very rich. . Now Uncle Sam
Is so poor that he cannot pay the of
ficers and soldiers of the army the
wages due to them; and Dan Lamont
Is so very rich that he offers to pay
the money out of his own pocket. This
brief history of Uncle Sam and Hand
some Dan teaches that reform Is a
very good thing for , the reformer."
Especially, we might add, when he
chances to be a consecrated Demo
crat. Our esteemed Wyoming county con
temporary, the iNcw Age, probably
draws too gloomy a picture when it
says: 'INothlng succeeds like success,
and the only qualification necessary to
leadership in politics is to be able to
successfully manipulate majorities.
Statesmanship is only waste rubbish."
The successful politicians of the coun
try are pretty bright men, taken as a
class. They have to be, else they could
not succeed.
We 'take no stock in the story that
Senator Quay will, as state chairman,
use his Influence to defeat those Re
publican candidates for office who were
recently aligned with the anti-Quay
faction. Whatever (Mr. Quay's faults,
party treachery Is not one of them; and
it is unjust to him to have the Impres
sion conveyed that any considerable
number of persons believe that It is.
i . ., i
If it Is true that Secretary Carlisle Is
"seeking the Demooratlo nomination
for" president next year" he ought to
And It. We do not apprehend that this
particular perfunctory honor will be In
great demand.
Judging from the manner In which a
number of Jurists are struggling to get
on the (Demooratlo state ticket as candi
dates for the Superior court. It might be
Inferred that our friends, the enemy,
think they have a ghost of a show.
But they haven't, and they know so.
too.
Delegate Allen, of Northampton, who
deserted Hastings for Quay, has heard
from his constituents In a way that he
will not soon forget. Ills nearest neigh
bors have overwhelmingly defeated him
at a caucus to choose delegates to tha
county convention. The truth Is that
the American people admire back-bone.
A Pittsburg authority has It all fixed
up that Senator Quay will turn Camer
on down In lttt7 in favor of Governor
Hastings. Well, 'Hastings would make
a mighty good senator, and he is by no
means defunct.
The action of the Democratic clubs at
Lancaster In criticising Republican
defects is doubtless based upon the
principle that It Is wise for Democrats
to divert attention from their own.
. . .
Common sense will yet solve the an
thracite dilemma, for the reason that
common sense will one day concede
that even coal operators cannot forever
do business ut a loss.

is possible for even thut to be over

HIS VICTORY COMPLETE.
From the Times-Herald.
The scramble which 4-n New York sa
loonkeepers made on Friday to plead
guilty and pay their fines for violating
the excise laws was a notable triumph for
Mr. Roosevelt, whose efforts to demon
strate the practicability of enforcing law
has attracted to him the encomiums of
law and order loving people and tho ma
lignant calumniation of those who fool
ishly Imagine that liberty means unbound
ed license.
Mr. Roosevelt can afford to regard his
carping critics with supreme complais
ance. He has been vigorously lampooned
by bigoted partisans who saw In his un
yielding attitude a dangerous menace to
party advantage. The press of New York,
with one or two exceptions, has bespat
tered him with vitriolic diatribes, mors or
less Imbecile and pointless, but having In
them the acerbity of senseless rancor.
But Mr. Roosevelt has given every critic
a Roland for his Oliver. He has defied
the mean attempts of the antagonistic
press to array public sentiment against
him, and he has not allowed his enemies
to prejudice his cause by misrepresent
ing his motives or his attitude toward the
liquor dealers as a class. He has stub
bornly challenged every Imputation which
sought to array the dealers against him by
showing that the excise law had been used
for years as a sandbag to force Into line
recalcitrants who refused to contribute to
the Tammany "wa-
Mr. Roosevelt has never declared him
self on the excise law. neither has ha
shown any disposition to persecute liquor
dealers as a class. What he thinks of the
rum traffic is shrouded in the depths of
his own conscience. He saw that Tam
many, the most corrupt political organ
isation on earth, had enriched Itself and
perpetuated Its political power by using
the excise law to mulct the dealers who
refused to pay tribute to the organisa
tion. He has won the fight against great
odds. Ha has demonstrated that law can
be enforced effectively and Impartially
against tha most powerful combination
that aver sought to control munlelpal gov
ernment. Speculation as to his success or
failure Is at an end. Tammany throws up
Its hands and tha nolltlclans are now da-
voting tbjlr time te contemplating the i
probable results of his enforcement of
law upon party success, soiurthina which
3t r. Roosevelt- never considered for a mo
ment. No other evidence is needed that
n.s v:ctoiy is complete.
