KZRA H. RIPPLE. Chairman.
W. 8. MILLAR. Secretary.
No na'tlon In the New World should
be fcotmed, Wed or bamboozled against
Its will by a power of Europe. That
may not be International law, but It Is
eternal common Justice and common
sense.
The League Convention.
The Rcputbllcan league convention at
York today will differ radically from
the gathering at 'Harrlsburg two weeks
ago, which seemed at one time likely
to culminate In blows and bloodshed.
It will have no favorites to advance
and no enemies to punish. The spirit
of factionalism wHl be absent from its
deliberations. Its one aim and, pur
pose will be to Aid In the dissemina
tion of Republican principles and help
swell the majorities of Republican can
didates through the potent Influence of
unselfish organization; an end In the
pursuit of which family political feuds
wHI be Ignored and Internecine rival
ries brushed aside as things foreign to
the occasion.
While it Is not always practicable to
estimate. In figures, the benefits of a
political auxiliary it 1s strictly within
the limits of truth to say that the Re
publican league of Pennsylvania has
been a potent Influence In the accumu
lation of Republican pluralities at the
polls. Working not merely during the
few weeks of the campaign, but stead
ily busy every month In the year;
reaching the minds of men not simply
by aid of occasional splurge or out-door
rally, but dally and Incessantly,
through careful distribution of con
vincing literature; and Introducing Into
politics the social pleasures but not the
social perils of the conventional club,
thus attracting young citizens to an
active and pUaaant Interest In public
affairs, the club Idea has come to stay;
and will stay to make Its effectiveness
even more plainly felt than It has been
felt hitherto.
During the past year,-with little of ex- !
citing Interest to draw men's attention
to political subjects, and with many
conditions of business to discourage
the spread of the club spirit, notable
progrens has been achieved. President
Warren, without rnaklng an ado, has
been vigilant In the league's behalf.
With results that will happily appear In
his annual report. Uetalls of organiza
tion have been supervised with uncom
mon effectiveness; substantial and not
ephemeral growth has followed earn
est effort to recruit new membership;
And throughout the state the Republi
can league clubs are gaining the confi
dence which "cornea to honesty, sin
cerity and stability of purpose.
Under these fortunate circumstances,
the responsibilities of presidential year
are awaltpd with strengthened enthu
siasm and self-reliance, and will be as
sumed with the determination newly
to' vlndlcnte the league's claim to re
spectful consideration as a valuable
party auxiliary.
The turn-down of Judge Mcfarty In
convention is a circumstance that will
doubtless turn up at the polls.
Was It a Mistake?
It will not be calculated to Inspire
confidence In the New South that In
South Carolina a. constitutional con
vention should be called for the express
purpose of depriving the negro of his
right to vote. Yet atich a circumstance
has occurred . within the week, . and
unless unexepected obstacles In the
way of a few. fair Court decisions shall
intervene, this purpose will take Ita
consummated place In that common
wealth's organic law. . , .
The1 (Mississippi plan ia the method
proposed. Provision la made that the
voter must have paid his taxes In the
February - preceding vthe election.
Among those taxes Is A uniform poll
tax of $2, which must be paid before
one can vote, . besides which : "every
qualified elector shall be able 'to read
any section of the constitution of this
state, or ha ahall be able to understand
tke Mine when read to bim, or" give
a reasonable interpretation thereof."
The effect of these provisions, with
their execution left to prejudiced
hands, can readily be Imagined. No
negro will be likely to vote under them.
whether qualified In other Yespects or
not
A curious feature of this affair Is the
small excitement that it creates. Peo
ple appear to take it as a matter of
course, notwithstanding that thirty-
four years ago many good lives and
much treasure were expended in an
effort, thought at the time to have been
successful, to Insure to American citi
zens their complete rights before the
law. without regard to race, color or
previous condition of servitude. Was
tfiat attempt a mistake?
It Is early yet to predict on preslden
tlal nominees; and. In addition, the
signs often seem to point in the "dark-
horse" direction.
How Cubans Suffer.
An Influential Spaniard, Senor Kd-
uardo Benot, speaking some years asto
In the cortex upon the subject of Cuban
Independence, uttered these striking
word?: "How trilling and apparently
Insufficient seem the causes which In
duced the North American colonists to
sever the bonds which held them to the
mother country. If we compare thorn
with those that have at last forced the
Cubans Into the struggle which they
are sustaining against the implacable
tyranny of their hard stepmother,
Ppnln."
The same man afterward said, in
the same forum: "Cuba Is groanlns
under the scourge of arbitrary power.
There Is no law, no rode, no constitu
tion. The principles of modern law
are trampled to the duct and the an
cient laws are disregarded. Children
nnt immolated: Judgment Is passed on
the dead; the innocent suffer for the
guilty; the only power Is brute force,
the vile greed of bad officials and the
Infamy pr pirates and slavers."
This may seem Impnssioned rhetoric;
but what are the facts? On the Island
of Cuba there ore 1,600.000 people, one-
third black. The debt of Cuba, forced
upon It by Spain, Is $200,000,000, upon
which there Is an annual Interest
charge of $12,000,000. equivalent to $r.O
for every white head of a family. In
time of peace Cuba hns had to support
a standing army costing $6,000,000 a
year; a navy conting $3,000,000 and a
civil service costing $5,000.0110 In name
and twice that In fact. The taxation
of Cubans, national and municipal,
equals 70 per cent, of their Incomes,
hut while the Incomes are decreasing"
as a consequence of this continued
Spanish rapacity, the taxation In
creases. As a result of careful study of the
Cuban problem, Walter Wellman Is led
to say, without qualification or reser
vation, that the history of Spanish rule
In Cuba Is one of oppression, of rob
bery, of corruption and cruelty In ad
ministration of the government; of
bad faith on tho part of the mother
country toward the colony; of rapacity
and savagery perhaps unequaled In
the history of modern nations. Yet the
United States of America, through Its
department of state, helps to prolong
Spain's buzzard sovereignty and
threatens with pursuit and prosecution
all Americans who are led, by sym
pathy with Cuba's cry for help, to lend
a hand against tyranny and oppres
sion. How can the Harrlsburg Patriot con
demn as insincere a platform which
so aptly voices public sentiment that
even If the (Republican politicians
should try to get away from It, the peo
ple would not let them?
.
Our Twenty-five Immortals.
A Washington paper recently'lnvlted
members of schools nnd literary so
cieties to express by ballot their choice
for the 25 living persons best fitted to
represent the highest achievements in
American literature, art and science.
It publishes the result ns follows:
1. William Iean Unwell, novelist.
2. Thomas Ilailey Aldrlch, poet.
3. Thomas Nelpon luge, story writer.
1. KiigenM Field, poet.
5. Iw Wallace, romancer.
fl. James Whltcnmli Ulley, poet.
7. Frank R. Stockton, humorist.
8. Mark Twain (Mr. Clemens), humorist.
!. Sarah Ome Jewett. novelist.
10. fl. Weir Mitchell, physician.
11. ''hnilcs A, liana, journalist.
12. Henry Wntterson, journalist.
13. Kdwanl F.verett Hale, preacher.
'11. John II. Vincent, bishop.
IT,. William T. Harris, educator.
11. John Flske, historian.
17. John HiM-h McMimter, historian.
18. Ini'llev Ruck, composer.
19. John I'hllli) Snusa, bandmaster.
M. Joseph Jefferson, actor.
II. Thomas Mornn. artist.
'.'2. F. Hopk Inarm Smith, artist.
2.1. Thomas A. Kdisnn, Inventor.
24. Alexander Ornham Well, Inventor;
2Ti. Alnsworth It. Spofford, librarian.
This list obviously reflects local and
sectional bias. For example, who but
a Wsshlngtohlan would fix upon John
Philip HiHisa and Alnsworth R. Spof
ford ns worthies fit to rank among
America's foremost 23? And who but
southerners would view In Thomas Nel
son Page and Henry Watterson men
qualified to figure In a list tlit nmtts
Bret Harte and Joseph Mertlll? Cer
tain other peculiarities pree.it them
selves in this list. For ir.stan'.!?, Ka
gene Field, aa a poet, outranks James
Whltcomb Riley, although it Is tho
unanimous verdict of critics that Riley
will be remembered with much t.t th
reverence that today attaches to the
memory of Burns generations after
Field shall have been forgotten. Again,
there in room for discussion aa to the
right of Lew Wallace to a place at all,
much less than fifth; while aa between
Sarah )rne Jewett; the one woman
represented, and Harriet Beecher
Htowe, Rebecoa Harding Davis, Mary
N. iMurfrce or (Mrs. Cruger, there la
room for animated discussion.
But the most noticeable feature of
the list Is Its utter omission of repre
sentatives of an art that today more
directly and perooptlbly Influences life
and manners than either poesy or fic
tion the art of play writing.' Surely
Joseph Jefferson la not more entitled to
rank with the quarter-of-a-hundred
Yankee Immortals for acting a play
than is Augustln Daly, Bronson How
ard, William Gillette or Henry De Mllle
for writing one. And If we ahall meas
ure art by Its results, that art which
puts the moving currents of human
emotion and the lights and ahadowa of
human peculiarity on exhibition before
the millions, not in dull type, but in
real fleah and blood, ia quite aa thor
oughly entitled to representation as Is
the art of novel-writing or the art of
versification. Upon the whole. It oc
curs to ua that the foregoing list la In
need of considerable revision.
It Is a aadly effeminate kind of
American statesmanship which hesi
tates to help Cuba In her critical strug
gle against gross oppression because
It might displease the nabob court of
Spain. What present rlffht has the
Spanish flag in the territory of the new
world that has not long been forfeited
by chronic and characteristic misrule?
It Is not u compliment to the efficiency
of American municipal government
that In a dozen of our chief cities there
Is simultaneous complaint because of
the utter Inadequacy of existing public
school accommodations. Such a con
dition Is a 'blistering disgrace to all re
sponsible for It.
The decision of the faculty of George
town university not hereafter to permit
students in that Institution to malm
or murder each other by means of foot
ball will reassure parents who desire
well children instead of Insurance
money.
Getting down to cold facts, why
should Harrison say anything when
there's nothing to say?
COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
The Solvation Army.
Washington l'ost: "A great many hon
est and intelligent persons are unfavor
ably Impressed by the Salvation Army.
There Is something fantastic III the garb,
the actions and the methods of the fol
lowers of tliat especial sect. The Salva
tionists are noisy, they employ uncouth
music ami uru given to rude demonstra
tion. Their manners huve not the repose
that stumps the cast of Vere de Vere.
Smug, overfed gentlemen, who olllclale In
dainty surplices uud carefully avoid topics
likely to displease their well-bred congre
gations, do not approve of the Salvation
ists tramping the streets, beating tam
bourines, and thundering savage melodies
out of tune. Aristocratic church-goers,
modestly assured of a welcome up above
and raihor averse than otherwise to Indis
criminate crowding Inside the pearly
Kates, condemn this vulgar rausucking of
Ihe slums uud this hysterical seal over
sinners of course imtecedents and plebeian
associations, l'.ut the Salvation Army
was not recruited to enter into rivalry
with the well-paid rector and the luxur
iously appointed temple. These devoted
men and women address themselves to the
neglected localities which the church does
not reach, and to forlorn and friendless
wretches whom well-dressed and well
groomed Christians do not like to think
about. They go into the reeking purlieus,
where vice and crime and misery and
degradation swarm. They are the scaven
gers of Christian civilization, the. sani
tary agents of society. They cannot wear
beautiful white creations of laco and cam
bric, or wave plump, manicured ringers,
or murmur softly to the accompaniment
of Inspired anthem strains. Where they
work the odor of mllletleurs is unknown
nnd the rules of etiquette a sealed book.
They clothe themselves as seems best in
view of the ends they wish to reach. They
adopt such forms as are most likely to
promote the cause. And their rude enthu
slsusm, their homely fervor, and their
fantastic bearing ure what the hard neces
sities of the case have made them. Hut
they are doing noble and useful work
where It Is most sorely needed. They are
not coddling established conviction or
congratulating secure superiority. They
are plunging Into the mire to save the
lost, and braving peril, contumely, and
brutal reviling that they may relieve the
wretchedness of neglect and pain."
The Advantages of tin-Operation.
From a speech by A. B. Farquhar, the
York manufacturer: "livery workman
should have a proprietary Interest in the
wealth of the country. There should be
the wlilest diffusion of capital, especially
in land.- Hut the only way to acquire
capital Is to pave It. The government can
not give It to you without first robbing
some one else to get it. Co-operation Is
the only true method, nnd every honest
effort of workmen to put It In practice
should he encouraged; and I for one thank
God for every success scored, since It
opens the way for thousands to pass from
dependence ami penury to ireedom ami
comfort. The vice of depending upon the
nation or uKn some one else Instead cf
one's self 1s too common. The nation has
nothing whatever to do with the affairs of
Its clt'zens further than to protect them
from foreign Interference, to preserve or
der, ami prevent one mnn from invading
the rights of another. Private enterprise
built up this country, felled Its forests,
drained Its swamps, erected Its towns, ex
cavated Its mines, dug Its canals, nnd
made its roads, and Invented the innumer
able labor-saving machines that have en
abled tho poorest workman to live In more
comfort today than the wealthy did a
few hundred years ago."
Ono Opinion Concerning Harrison.
Chicago Times-Herald: "Indiana has
(rood reason to admire General Harrison,
for he will live in history as one of her
best soldiers and brainiest statesmen,
worthy of his Illustrious ancestry and
nildlng new luster to his family name.
His administration was clean, able and
vigorous, and his life since he retired
from the presidency has been such as to
command the admiring approval of his
fellow citizens without regard to partisan
afllllatlons. There Is no good reason why
his personal friends should not desire his
re-election, and If he wants It there Is no
good reason why he shrould not say so
and come out and make an open and man
ly effort to et It. Outside of Indiana,
however, there are no trustworthy Indl
cntlons of a demand for four years mora
of Harrison."
The Abused infinitive.
A correspondent of the Critic makes the
following grammatical criticism; "Is It
too late to try to save the Infinitive mood
In Its original simplicity? It Is only with
in the lifetime of men of middle age thut
It begnn Its disintegration, but year by
year it shows changes made by wider and
more varied wedges of misplaced words,
and year by year we see new writers In
fected with this tendency to disregard
purity of form. There is no such verb as
'lo fully net lee, yet ono of the smoothest
liens that have run on your pages for
many a day writes In the review of Zang-
nt'll'a 'The lnatsr fi .1 Jnlv fl KtQT.l 'It
almost takes an artist to fully notice.'
Some duy, some slovenly ylelder lo care
less custom will write: 'Or tint them health
and prosperity to long live.' "
Yes. It Ts a Crime.
Washington Post: "It Is worse than a
mistake to leave the education of great
masses of children uncared for."
POLITICAL POINTS.
Colonel Sam Boyd, of the Wllkes-Barre
News-Dealer, Is the most independent
Democratic editor In this section of the
state. He calls a spade a spade, and Is
as fearless as Charles A. Dana In de
nouncing political humbuvs. even If tlier
pose as Democrats. Ills Independence and
fearlessness have mnue the News-Dealer
a success, liut up to date Mr. lloyd's po
litical prospects have suffered In conse
quence of his frankness. Uut he does not
lie awake nignts on thai account.
It is said that President Cleveland
wants to appoint a New York man to
the vacancy on the supreme court bench,
but cannot find a man whom Hill will not
antagonize. Tho president's friends and
Mr. Hill's friends do not train in the same
company In New York. Jlornblower ts
Mr. Cleveland's first choice, but Hill
shows his teeth whenever the name of
Ilornblower la mentioned. ,
Ex-Dlstrlct Attorney Garman. of I.ii.
zerne, Is becoming a conspicuous figure In
Pennsylvania Democratic politics. Hnr.
rlty smiles upon him and whoever has his
smiles Is bound to blossom Into promi
nence. One of these days Mr. Carman
will make a run for congress, but not
until Hon. John Lelsennng has had his
second innings.
Tho Judge Magee, of Pittsburg, who la
one of the Democratic candidates for
judge of the Superior court, does not be
long to the Chris Magee tribe, at least
not politically, and he will get no as
sistance from the handsome little states
man who tackle. Quay periodically and
usually loses nw scaip.
Third-term Democrats ara beatimln rn
multiply, and It begins to look aa If
Graver Cleveland nlght really eaaa' mora
become the candidate of Ms party for
president. The truth Is that the Demo-
1 crane party does not today contain a man
who Is as available as Cleveland, all
inings considered.
The Democratic New York World still
refuses to believe that Senator Quay is a
really good man. But. then, the. World
always haa held a prejudice agulnst the
rennsyivan:a Kepubllcan leaner, some
day Colonel McClure. of the Philadelphia
Times, should see Pulitzer and convince
him of his error.
Ex-Congressman Myers, the Democratic
candidate for state treasurer, has evi
dently been conciliated, and now ehouts
for Harrlty. Myera was once struck by
political lightning by being elected to
congress, by a Republican district, but
there will be no lightning around this
year.
No president since the days of Washing
ton has taken life so easy and so per
sistently neglects his official duties as
does Mr. Cleveland. He remains away from
the seat of s-overnment for months at
time ami crforms not a single official
duty, except by proxy.

mand. TWO JUDGES INSTEAD OF ONE.
To the Editor of The Tribune .
Lackawanna is the only county In the
state that has two candidates for judges
of the Superior court. The nomination of
Judgu Smith by the Democratic com on
Hon at Wllliamspoi t opens up the possi
bility or I.aiKuwaima having dual repre
sentation on the bench of the new Supe
rior court. One of the six Democratic
nominees Is bound to be elected. The only
question Is which one will secure the most
votes. If Judue Smith should be the man
then Lackawanna will huve two of Ihe
judges. The fact must lie borne In mind
that the election of the one Iieinocr.it
does not Involve the defeat of either of
tho six Republican candidates. The Idea
seems to prevail among a certain cius-t
thut the cundlducy rtf Judge Smith Is In
some way inimical to Judge YVillurd.
Nothing could be further from the facts in
the case. A moment's reflection will con
vince till such thut the nomination of
Judge Smith by the Democrats simply
makes possible the election of two of Ihe
judges from Lackawanna county, and
there certainly can be no good reason why
uny Lackawanna man, be he Kepubllcan
or Democrat, should object to such a re
sult of the election. Judge Smith's
chances are fully us good as those of
either of his colleagues. Ills own county
Is more populous than thut of either of
his associates on the ticket, and hu hus
the nddltonul advantage of much greater
strength than his colleagues In the popu
lous county of Luzerne,
There Is no sensible reason why the
candidacy of Judge Smith should divert
a single vote from Judge Wlllard. Every
elector will , vole for six candidates for
judge of the Superior court, und the seven
receiving the largest number of votes will
be elected. Of tho twelve candidates of
the two leading parties, therefore, seven
will be electeii and live defeated. No one
for a moment doubts that the six Kepub
llcan nominees will win. The only ques
tion, then, Is which one of the six Demo
cratic candidates will poll the most votes.
The Democrats have placed three of their
candidates In the western part of tho
state, vis: ono In Allegheny, one In
Westmoreland and one In Warren. Ka -h
of these will doubtless run ahead of his
colleugue In his own section. Judge
Smith s friends have all the northeastern
section of the state in which to give him
the lead, and It will be strange If they do
not fully Improve their manifest advan
tage. Even a hasty glance over the field
will convince any Intelligent observer
that Judge Smith's election Is not only
possible, but highly probable.
Should he win three of the seven judges
will he bunched In the two adjoining
counties or iacgawanna nnd Luzerne, and
with Judge Reeder, of Northampton, a
maority of the court will be located In
the northeastern part of thee state. Geo
graphically considered this Is not perhaps
a wise distribution of the Judge, but the
question of residential location Is, after
all, of infinitely less Importance than Is
the personal nnd judicial fitness of the
men constituting the court.
Assuming that the election of the six
Republican candidates Is assured beyond
any possibility of doubt, why should not
Judge Smith receive the voles of many
Republicans In Lackawanna and adjoin
ing counties, and Judges Wlllnrd and Rice
receive the votes of many Democrats In
return? One of the seven Judges must of
necessity be a Democrat. Jt Is only rea
sonable to assume that the Republicans In
this sect'on prefer .Indue Smith to either
of his colleague fnrithc minority member
of the court. If they do they well know
how to make that preference effective.
This they can do without diverting n s'n
rle vote from Jnt'iie Wlllnrd or Judge
Rice, and without Imperiling the success
of either of the other Republican nomi
nees. To a few Rrmiblleans such n proposition
mny snvnr of nolltleal unorthodoxy. but
It Is nothlntr of the sort; on the contrary
it is polltic-iil good sense. J. D. L.

The first batch of new Draperies have just rolled in on us.
Fresh, clean, bright, beautifying things.
It is wonderful how much beauty and coziness are crowded into a few dollars' worth
of Draperies. The bare flatness of a plain, unfinished-looking room disappears when the
Curtains come to give it the homelike coziness.
And It Costs
So Little to Add So Much.
Not much to tell about prices, for we have ALL prices not so much that
we can tell you, but an abundance to show you when you come-rthen you'll
know how small the prices are.
MR. E. J. MURPHY, our Chief Designer and decorative artist, has brought
to ys ten years of experience in the Upholstery Department of V. & J. Sloane, New York,
and during the last six mouths he has been in our employ, the work that he has done will
