There will be no prosperlty-destmy-1ns,
buslnoss-wrecldns tariff agitation
year after next, when Republicans
shall have returned to power; but there
will be a large amount of Intelligent
and patriotic tariff revision. Don't for
get that.
The Yacht Race Fiasco.
It Is only fair to (Mr. Iselin, the owner
of the Defender, to say that his conduct
during the yachting complications of
the past few days has been irreproach
able. That the protest which hi made
when his boat had been fouled by the
Valkyrie was conceived in no mean
spirit Is shown by the fact that when
the committee decided in the Defend
er's favor, .Mr. Iselin promptly offered
to forego his technical victory and sub
mit to a new race. True, he might have
withheld that protest; but the justice
of it Is too generally conceded to admit
of argument upon that point.
On the other hand, Lord Dunraven
does not deserve the censure passed
upon him by newspapers forgetful of
the proprieties duo between host and
guest. Dearlng in mind past experi
ences with incorrigible excursion boats
insr and endangered not fclmply his
chance of victory but also the safety of
his yacht "and the lives of Its crew,
Ounraven had expressly stipulated
that the course, was to be kept abso
lutely clear. By their agreement to
this condition, the cup defenders ab
solved him from any responsibility for
Thursday's withdrawal. He had a
right, not only on paper, but as a guest
who had, at great expense, come from
afar, to receive considerate and
courteous treatment, both from his ad
versaries and also from the multitude
of onlookers. Cut the latter appear to
have entirely forgotten their share of
the amenities of the occasion, and in
stead exhibited a precipitancy of
anxiety to get ahead each of tho other
which would better have characterized
a drove of hogs at feeding time.
The Defender's victory has not been
earned, and therefore wIU Incite no Joy.
The Valkyrie, thanks to American In
decorum, has not received fair treat
ment. Under the olrcumstanccs, there
fore, the only thing to do Is to draw up
new articles of agreement for a race at
some suitable place where tha porclno
Instincts of the average multitude will
not have a chance to roar fair sport.
This is the logic of the situation; and
no amount of newspaper bluster can
obscure It.
J Improvement Is the order of the day,
and the coal trade, in at last respond
ing to It, begins to do in September
what should have been done In March.
Roosevelt Replies to Hill.
Senator Hill was not shrewd when ho
deliberately stepped on the toes of
Theodore -Itoosevelt. That energetic
young man has replied to the senator's
"personal liberty" keynote, and ' the
statesman from Chemung Is,' In conse
quence, a badly disfigured combatant.
The reply was delivered In Buffalo,
Wednesday night, and It has not yet
ceased to re-echo. If Will's ears do not
burn and his epidermis shrink and
shrivel, It must be because he has
grown Insensible to punishment.
"The. senator." says Gotham's cham
pion of law and order, ."announces that
the campaign of his party Is to be
waged upon what he styles the Issue
of 'personal liberty.',. What he means Is
Simple. .(He does not demand personal
liberty "to do what Is right and legal,
for that Is already possessed by law-
abiding citizens. He demands person
al liberty to commit crime. When he
attacks us for what he terms a harsh
enforcement of the law, all that he
means is that he disapproves of us be'
cause we have enforced tho law honest
ly. Senator Hill's platform has for Its
two chief planks the personal' liberty
of the individual to commit crime; and
the personal liberty of publlo officials
to enforce tha law dishonestly and cor
ruptly. Hie champions that kind of per
sonal liberty which leads men to the
penitentiary."
That this Is not an exaggerated state
ment of t,he case Is proved by the ex
plicit and straightforward manner In
which President 'Itoosevelt takes up
and demolishes each of Senator Hill's
numbered objections to the present ex
cise policy in New York city. He not
only proves that many of these objec
tions are based upon a deliberate ami
Inexcusable misrepresentation of facts,
but also shows thatin the fen instances
In which the senator remained within
sight of the truth, he magnified isolat
ed cases of subordinate over-olllcious-ness,
which were rebuked as soon as
discovered at headquarters.
To one accusation (Mr. Roosevelt
pleads guilty, die admits that he kept
a watch upon the workmen under his
command, and adds:
As lor his stating that we played the
part of detectives, wo did It to the samo
extent that a superintendent of a rail
road plays such u part when ho netually
superintends the work that Is beiiiK done,
so us to tlnd out for himself how It is
done, and to kmow that his subordinates
are giving etllclent service. We intend to
do our duly. This Is seemingly so novel
an idea to Senator H.ll that he cannot un
derstand It. To do our duty we must
have some kind of Idea liuw our men uru
working. We have visited tho preuinets
at all hours of the day and nl;;lit. We
have worked often almost every hour of
the Iwenty-foiir, for we had before us tho
herculi.an task of cleaning a stable of
such Aturrnn tilth that it needs a man of
Senator Hill's moral Insensibility to de
fend It. tf course, we personally saw to
the best of our ability that the police
were honest and energetic In the enforce
ment of law. lint when the senator says
thnt we neglected enfordnK nil other laws
In order to enforce this, he utters a will
ful untruth. Order lias never been so well
preserved: crime apiinst personal prop
erty has never been better controlled than
in the last four months. The llitures for
these four months, as compared with tho
rri-spondlmr four months under the
previous administration, show that the
number of felonies has decreased and that
the r.umber of arrests of felons has In
creased. Finally, as to the charge that the
rich man's club escapes while tho poor
man's saloon Is "pulled," 'Mr. Roosevelt
says:
We have been quite ns ritrlil closing tho
Mrs of the biff hotels on Fifth avenue as
In ctoslnir the bars on the Howery nnd
Avenue A. We have made no discrimina
tion between the rich man's club and the
poor man's club. I'Tdi-r the law It seems
that ni-'.lher Is entitled to sell liuuor. and
we will prevent Its bclnir done, so far as
we can. In one case precisely ns In the
o'her. We know no distinction between
the rich ninl the po.r. We know no
classes. We are Americans and we treat
nil American citizens alike. What tho
senator says about the blue Inws does not
need serious discussion. Apparently ho
thinks that (because It was wrong to burn
w'tehes in the seventeenth century It is
ritrht to eet druvik on Sunday In the nine
teenth. Senator Hill poses ns the friend
of the poor man. but In this fli;ht he Is the
friend nr tne ci'-unKnrn hum m- ""
taker, tt Is Invariably the poor man who
.iftVrs most when laws are eniurci-u nun
corrupt imrt'.ality.
In conclusion. IMr. Roosevelt wen
- . . i . . r. . TT : 1 1
says: "Tne uoerrine nnat iwii.ii.m-
teaches is a doctrine which can only
result In lawlessness nnd anareny
among the people nt large: nnd In the
wildest corruption among 'the officials
of tho state. Hj deliberately puts him
self upon a rar with the lyncher nnd
the white-capper and the open foe of
order. Senator Hill takes this stand
because he believes that the forces of
evil outnumber the forces of good. He
hopes that he will attract from the
opposite party more men who are vic
ious than he loses decent men from
his own party. It behooves tho people
of New York to see that no suoh re
sult happens; but whether it happens
or not, most certainly tho polle com
missioners of New York will not vary
a huir's-breadth from the course they
have taken, and will not feel a single
regret for tho policy they faave fol
lowed. We would refuse to gain a vic
tory at the price of Joining those who
believe that legislators should reck
lessly pass a law that Is not Intended
to be enforced, and that executive offl
cers should carry out this law only so
far as they think expedient."
If Hill is smart he will be sorry ho
spoke.
The unanimous re-election of Major
Warren to the presidency of the Penn
sylvania Republican league is a pleas
ant recognition of tils meritorious
work. During his presidency the
league's interests have been advanced
by straightforward, systematic effort,
put forth without brag or bluster and
appealing at once to the approval of
conservative Influences. The logical re
ward of such trustworthy leadership Is
continuation In authority. That In the
yeaf to come, under tho stimulus of a
presidential canvass, multiplied prog
ress will result Is a prediction safely
predicated on President Warren's
methods and on the unselfish co-operation
which his chieftaincy luflsjrcs.
The Future of the Tariff.
"Fortunately with a majority in the
Republican house of the Fifty-fourth
congress, no further legislation can be
had In the dlreotlon of free trade for
tho next two years, and no unfriendly
legislation need be feared. None is
feared, Thl? Is the business man's cup
of consolation.
"Whatever may be our future tariff
leglslation.lt will be founded and built
upon the pnxteotlon principle. It will
provide adequate revenue for the gov
ernment, sustain (American Industries
and exalt American labor. No man can
tell what the schedules and rates may
be, for these must depend upon condi
tions existing at the time. Rut this Is
certain, that whatever tho great princi
ple of protection of American Interests
and labor Indicates ns essential to good
wages, expanding production and gen
eral prosperity, these will be the rates
that are bound to prevail. Schedules
may be altered and rates changed to
meet existing conditions, but the princi
ple of protection cannot be changed. It
Is unalterable.
"Reciprocity, too, will not be over
looked. A policy will not bo aban
doned which extends and widens our
foreign markets without surrendering
our own markets to commodities which
we can produce at home; a policy that
takes the products of other countries
which we do not produce, on condition
that 'they freely admit our products
and manufactures Into their markets
on terms of mutual advantage and
profit." (McKlnlcy at Springfield.
" So far as traveling men are con
cerned, a new hotel In Wllkcs-Barre
would be entirely superfluous,, with
Scranton so near.

this broad hint as to one of Its great
est needs.
Judge McCarthy "tiays nothing;" but
you can give long odds that he is doing
a deal of tall thinking.
Practical Instruction In Citizenship.
The papers tell of a novel plan In
practical philanthropy put to the test
this year for the first time. William
R. George, wealthy New- Yorker, re
cently rented a farm of forty-eight
acres on top of a high hill near Free
vllle, N. T.. and peopled It with thirty
girls and 120 of the toughest boys he
could find in the slums, ranging In age
from 12 to 15 years. As soon as the
youngsters reached the farm Mr.
Oeorge Immediately organized them
into a republic, with himself as presi
dent and with a cabinet of little fellows
who were his stanchest friends. They
had a congressional election, with a
representative for every twelve persons
and a senator for each of the six
classes into which the community was
divided. They had their own circulat
ing medium and each youngster was
compensated for .his labor In proportion
to tho skill and Industry shown.
It Is claimed for this project, and
with obvious justice, that to the sani
tary advantages of un outing amidst
country fresh-nir and scenic beauties
It adds educational benefits of a highly
practical character. The average male
child of the slums, although In mature
years admitted to citizenship, has. It
must be confessed, a very vague and
uncertain knowledge of the Institutions
of the country of which he Is a co
sovereign; and, thanks to this Ignor
ance, readily becomes an element of
serious danger to the republic. For
his onllghtment Instruction of a
graphic character Is required, and Mr.
Oeorge' s object lesson would appear
admirably to 1111 the bill The addi
tion of this educational feature to all
fresh-air excursions would work for
the general welfare.

In offering a handsome trophy cup
for a special series of base ball games
between Wilkes-Harre and Scranton
nines. The Tribune's object Is simply
to add zest to the always spirited
rivalry between these cities, and thus
to stimulate good ball playing. The
composition of the clubs that on Mon
day begin the battle for this cup war
rants the belief that patrons of these
games will see first-class work. While
wo should like to have the local cham
pions become victors, and expect that
they will, our object will have been at
tained If the games are such as to
recompense reasonable 'spectators for
the tlmennd money spent In witness
ing the exhibitions. All that we ask,
therefore, is that the battle may be
sharp and lively, and that tho best
team may win!
During tho past thirty years or so,

$JS,000,000 "walked Spanish."

"Private ndvlces" recently received In

effect that "Senator Quay has decided to

McKinley Is too much of an ono Idea man,

nnd looks upon Allison ns representing

Governor Thayer, of Nebraska, was sat
down upon with considerable etnphnsls
by the old soldiers nt Louisville on Thurs

doing Just that kind of thing when fel

them whether tho person who needs, sit

cured a plnce on the ticket. When the
two counties pull together they are a

Thero Is said to bo n reason why John
