Election day. Nov. 5.
No matter what Olney thinks, the
American flue will soon be respected
ami American citizenship, when pro
claimed In foreign lands, cease to be
a reproach.
A Safe Recipe for Prosperity.
The Democratic platform In this
state lays stress upon the assertion
that the present revlvnl in business Is
in consequence of Demorra.tl; tariff
leRlslatlon: and that the way to main
tain the prosperity thus won Is to vote,
next year, for a Democratic president.
Apart from Its references to state Is
sues and Its stereotyped Indorsement of
the Cleveland administration, this fea
ture exhausts the Wllllamspnrt decla
ration. Let us, then, look at the sub
ject. In the first place, wages today are yet
much below What they were under the
McKinley tariff. Tho Wllllamsport
platform says that the restorations of
wages thus far reported approximate
$?50.000,000. Conservative statistics
estimate the drop in wages caused by
Democracy's prolonged battle against
the McKinley tariff at $2,000,000,000,
with an equal depreciation In commer
cial values. Thus we have the fol
lowing account:
The Democratic party
debtor to the peopln of the
United States for wages
lowered and other losses
Inflated $4,000,000,000
The Democratic party cred
ited with restorations In
wages 230,000,000
Balance yet charged against
the Democratic party S.750.000,000
Until this account Is squared, it will
be premature for the ruln-breedlnc
modern Democracy to try to fool tho
people a second time with the same old
trick.
Secondly, tha prosperity we are now
enjoying Is not pefirihnent as yet. It
comes from the complete consumption
by our people of surplus stock during
the recent suspension of productive
activities. The people must eat. They
must wear clothing. They must have
certain necessaries, whether times be
good or tart. So long as these were ac
cumulated on ilie store shelves and In
the warehouses, the mills and factories
and workshops of the country could, In
an adverse period, lie Idle. Rut when
the extra supply was exhausted, the
Industries had to go to work again.
They are doing this now. They are re
sponding to current orders. Whether
they shall recover confidence and re
main steadily at work or once more
lose confidence and gradually decline
Into another era 'of stagnation will
largely depend upon the verdict of next
year's presidential election.
. The emphatic choice by the people of
a Republican president pledged to pro
tect American industries and Interests
will Insure prosperity's perpetuation.
The reverse will insure renewed dis
trust. .
Now that Piatt has the persimmon,
what will he do with It?
An Instructive Quotation.
It In not often that the man whose
pen Is employed In the utterance of
written thoughts gains corresponding
facility as a public speaker. To be
sure, it was the late editor of the At
lanta Constitution who, at a New Eng
land dinner, fired the sympathies of an
entire nation by Ills eloquent delinea
tion of the attitude and hopes of the
reconstructed South. Again, It was an
editor who at ILoulsvllle, before the
commingling veterans of the Iilue and
the Gray, made the finest and most
affecting speech of the encampment.
And, In our own state, we ever delight
to listen to tihe brilliant and polished
oratory of Editor Charles Emory
Smith, than Whom we have no' better
orators, anywhere. But these are px
' ceptlonal instance which . prove the
rule that good writers seldom are good
talkers. All the mora notable, there
fore, Is the speech which Robert C.
Alexander, editor of the New York
(Mall and (Express, delivered before the
New York Rpubilcan league convention
at Blnghamton, recently an address
that has already won lasting rank In
campaign oratory. .We. reproduce Its
peroration: , .- j . j ,) .
On the night of the election of 1894, when
the returns from every state hod made
It certain that an overwhelming victory
had been achieved, two stalwart working
men In Pittsburg, clad in their working
blouies, entnfead to the top of the tallest I
smokeless chimney and nailed fast there
the. nag of the republic, and when the
morning dawned ami the aunxhhie broke
over the eaotern hills. H kindled the waves
ami folds of that oM nag with a new and
unwonted glory. That flag on that cold
and smokelesa chimney mennt that the
Area below would lie rekindled, and .the
mines would be rtpoend, that" the cheer
ful hum ol Industry would be renewed,
that the breath of life would be breathed
jigaln into the corpse of dead industries;
and that prosTlty would come buck
with the triumph of the ItepuhlU-un party.
It meant that under the folds of that ttug,
every American cltiaen, white or blaek.
rich or pour, high or low, would be secure
1n life. lllierty and prosperity In every
lard beneath the sun. It meant the on
coming of a new administration in which
the flag would never be hauled down by
the order of an unpatriotic president and
.f the hands of an unrepentant rebel. It
i.tant that American rights of oltlien
ahtp would lie protected and the American
ting resnerted under every sky and in
every clime. It meant that the destinies
of the nation, the well being of the work
ingnian. the dignity of American labor
nnd the permaneccv of American lntltn
tinns were safe only under this party of
Lincoln, llriint, Ulatne, Harrison and Mc
Kinley. In addition to being an oratorical
pern, this quotation has also educa
tional value in Its hint as to the cause
of the present revival In business. It Is
a significant co-Incidence that the re
viva! became marked only after the
elections of last November had demon
strated that the free trade crusade was
necessarily at an end.
According to the tendon Times, ex
Presldent Harrison's "acts and
speeches are those of an honest ond
earnest statesman." This Is believed to
be the first time In Ms treatment of
American subjects that the Thunderer
has hit the bull's eye.
...... .
On the Borderland of Change.
One fact at least seems to be pretty
well foreshadowvd In connection with
the general conference of the Methodist
Kpbxvipal church, which will assemble
next .May in Cleveland. O. It Is as
much as assured that tho time limit
of the Itinerancy will be extended In
definitely. In other words, the Meth
odist church will become congrega
tional, so far ns concerns the tenure of
pastorates, and may, In praotlce, retain
or dismiss Its ministers nt will.
The .Methodist clergy Is almost a unit
in favor of this change. They have
abundantly experienced the inconve
niences, the disappointments nnd the
keen regrets of frequent removals,
snapping as they do the threads that
constitute a large share of life's pleas
ures: and will welcome with eagerness
tho opportunity to acquire. If possible,
a fixed habitation, with all Its attend
ant advantages. A test vote among 147
ministers of the Hock Island, III., con
ference disclosed 10 In unqualified op
position to the tlve-year limit, nnd only
22 in Its favor; and something near this
proKirt!on doubtless prevails through
out the United States.
The other question, will women be
granted lay representation In the gen
eral conference. Is not so easily an
swered; but we nre of the opinion that
It, too, will receive an affirmative re
sponse. This Is likewise the 'belief of
that far-sighted and progressive jour
nal, the Chicago Times-Herald, which
thinks that "with women now creating
nnd conducting Immense enterprises,
managing great missionary and other
societies, taking joint part with men in
the conduct of numberless organiza
tions nnd Institutions, having now
opened to them almost every opportun
ity and advantage for tho higher edu
cation and professional training, al
ready doing three-fourths of the teach
ins work In the schools of the country,
and withal constituting two-thirds of
the membership In the churches, It Is
hardly probable that churches so much
alive to existing conditions and necessi
ties as are the Methodist churches are
going to be always made up of clergy
men, laymen and women left out In a
limbo of representative mutes and offi
cial nonentities."
The admhwlon of wmmeir would In
volve no mistake; but the abolition of
tho pastoral time limit Is another ques
tion. Under frequent pastoral changes,
the Methodist church has been unmis
takably tho most vital of Protestant In
strumentalities In the regeneration of
society, and It is fair to assume that
the frequency of these changes has
been a factor for good. Whether con
ditions have chnnged sufficiently to Jus
tify a modification of the Itinerancy in
tho direction of conservatism and pas
toral ease nnd tranquility is open to
debate. So long, however, os the Meth
odist church keeps close to the plain
people and enters Intelligently but also
enthusiastically into sympathy with
their wants and needs, It Is not likely
to suffer a relapse In consequence of
nny probable changes In Its ecclesiasti
cal government.
Speaking of . the "restoration" of
wages, who cut 'cm?
Fair Play for the Cop.
A point capable of local application
was made recently by Theodore Roose
velt In a speech nt Huffalo, when he
said; "Every policeman continually
has to face, as a matter of business,
as a matter of ordinary, every-dny
duty, certain risks nnd certain dangers.
In addition to that ho now and then
has to face very serious dangers, very
serious risks, and these should be borne
In mind by the critics of every police
force. While tho unfaithful policeman,
the corrupt policeman, deserves to re-
ceflve the merciless condemnation of
good citizens, yet all good citizens
should be equally prompt to recognlzo
that the honest and fearless member
of the force Is entitled to thp highest
respect and to every consideration
from all decent citizens who wish to
Bee order preserved and life and prop
erty protected. Itemember that,"
There Is a widespread tendency
among people q all walks and call
ings In life to belittle the work of
the average olty policeman. To see a
"ooppcr" strolling along In his fine
uniform, swinging his club, appears to
most persons tho persotvWlcntlon of
pampered Indolence and superfluous
nieas. But this Is only one side of a
picture. . The other aide may bo viewed
only in emergencies, when the officer's
nerve and strength are all that stand
between the private citizen and vio
lence or loss. In these critical mo
ments, the policeman who keeps his
wits about him and Is alive to his duty
becomes of Incalculable value to the
'community, and may, In a single act
of valor, fairly earn his whole year's
salary. .'
Mr. Roosevelt, as president of the
New York police board, lias very prop
erly replaced the old system under
which promotions from the ranks went
by purchase or favoritism, with a new
system, under which, other things be
ing equal, preference is given to that
olllcer who displays noticeable courage
and self-command In trying emergen
cies. He shrewdly argues that In no
other way can the best results be ob
tallied from the force, or the merits
of Its Individual members be more
effectively Induced to disclose them
selves. It Is an Interesting fact that
within four months this new system.
even with the partly rotten force In
herlted from Tammany days, has
wrought In New York city Improve
ments once declared by the majority
of business men to be Impossible of
achievement, no matter how lung tho
period of attempt.
After spending, it Is said, something
like $10,000 against ex-Senator Fassett
In Chemung, Thomas C. iPlatt awakens
to find that he has captured less than
a third of the necessary delegates.
"Home rule" is evidently a good rally
ing cry in more lunds than one.

It Is noticed that the talk of certain
(Republican lenders helping the cundl
dudes of one or two Democratic nomi
nees for the 'Superior court bench is
confined mulnly to tho Democratic pa
pers. The 'Republican musses are not
on tho auction block.
Colonel Hoyd has information that
tho twelve years of their active partici
pation hi Democratic politics In Lacka
wanna county have cost the Robinsons
$100,000. Tho figure Is probably exag
gerated; but the moral, to poor men, Is
obvious.
The story goes that Cleveland wanta
to call an ex tra session of congress go us
to give the Republicans a chunce to un
ravel the government's financial tan
gle. Well, they can do It.
(McCarthy's notion of running Inde
pendeti'tly is a bright Idea; and would
If ful tilled, properly rebuke the Demo

The Modern I scsof njury.
Plttston Item: "The man who satir
ically defined a Jury us 'u body of men
organized to discover which side has the
smartest lawyer,' should have made a
study of the trial of a criminal case be
fore our Luzerne county courts, and he
would have somewhat modified his deflni
lion. He would there learn that the great
funct'.on of a Jury Is fo keep the Judge
company, and to sit still and be patient
while strong-lunged lawyers ubuse wit

endeavor to delay, thwart, or pervert 'the
ends of justice."

a .proper but a desirable thing tlint this

Into our public schools. "
How School I und Are Wasted.
Piltston Item: "The lack of necessary
school accommodations Is due to the
short-sightedness of school ofllcers who
fail to anticipate the natural growth of

has something to do with this condi

POLITICAL jTOINTS.
C. C. Kaufman, of Green Castle, pro
poses In the Philadelphia Press, a new
method of reforming the primary elec
tions, as follows: "The primaries el.ould
be held one week before tha February
election and delegates put In nomination
to be voted) for at said election, or tho pri
maries could be dispensed with and the
voter allowed to make up his ticket from
the general puollu, selecting; and voting
for such persons ai in his judgment would
best represent and respect the will of lha
people in convention. The ticket should
be a coupon attachment to tho general
ticket, or scnarute. nnd should be voted
with and at the same time as the general
ticket, to be put in a separate ballot Lux
und not counted until a day or two befor
the next convention. Death and removals
would lie provided for by 'ha ones i
ce.ving thu highest number of vines. Ity
the above iliTunemeilt all persons would
oe at sea as to whom the Iclcxutcs would
be and the ward he-.dt r and political buss
would be without compass or pole, nnd the
win oi inept'o,ple, which should be the law
of the lund, would bj respei.-icd.'
If the nomination of a western Repub
lican for president should appear neces
sary next yeur. there ure those who pre
dict that as 'bt-tween Senators Allison und
liavls. Henator yuay would be likely to
favor Davis, who is his warm personal
friend. The nomination of Davis, by the
way. would be relished by Secretary K.
Vt. Kleitz, of the I'cnnsylvunlu Repub
bcan league, who also Is nn Intimate
menu ot me scholarly Minnesota!!.
nossp nt llarrishurg is to tho effect
tlint Henalor Quay will probably udvlse

mum mill ii proiuiiiiiiiy or Ills nomination.
In this way. thewenuloi', It is said, will re
unite the recently warring factions.
There will be no trading In this sec

MISS ANTHONY'S HliTIRI'MENT
From the Times-Heruld.
The annum nient that Suian B. An
thony has delivered her last public ad
dress nnd has decided to g..i Inio retire,
nient for the purpose of compiling thu
memoirs of her forty vms-V c-'isad. for
Ihe emancipation of woman -v ill be le
oelved with keen re;!'"', by thousands
who have delighted to listen upon more
lhun one cuslon to this matchless
chump'.iiji of woman's rights. Having
reached the nil. I. lie of her seventieth
year, she feelM that her work on earth
Is finished, und nil she asks is that she
may be permit led to commit the written
record of her forty years of dauntless
endeavor to the liilelligent consideration
of a posterity that Is certain !o reap Ihe
fi tilts of an advanced and liberated wo
inuiihuod Miss Anthony Is in mnny respects the
most remarkable woman of her time.
As the close of Ihe century draws near,
she can survey the work of her life with
complacent satisfaction, for, although
not all Ihe reforms to which she conse
crated tl nirglcs nf a well liuiued mind
have been secured, there has come to
crown her declining years with victory
the knowledge of enlarged industrial nnd
political possibilities for woman that
transcends the dreams of her most en
thusiastic admirers. Indeed, the new
woman of today not the bloomered pur
veyor of street slang or the renegade
from domestic duty, but the new woman
who bus been enabled to escape an un
happy matrimonial all'nnee by availing
herself of the opportunity to enter the In
dustries or professions owes a great ileal
to Miss Anthony. This Intrepid reformer
has blazed the way, and muiiy who ridi
culed iter methods and scorned her aims
have at last become her penitent and ob
sequious followers.
Miss Anthony Is no blatant babbler.
She came from tine old Quaker stock.
She was educated by skillful teachers,
and her subsequent career as teacher In
the schools of New York slate gave her
a well-dlsclpllned mind for the work to
which she was destined to dedicate her
life. She was prominent among thu agi
tators for the abolition of slavery, and
her voice was also raised In favor of
the coeducation of the sexes. An illus
tration of her courageous nnd dellant
methods was afforded iiy her casting bat
lots ut the state ami congressional elec
tion III Rochester In IS":! to test the ap
plication of the fourteenth and llfteenth
amendments of the I'nlted Slates consti
tution. She was arrested for Illegal vot
ing and was lined, hut. In accordance
with her defiant declaration, she never
paid the penalty.
Reviled, Jeered at, nnd lampooned by
the press nnd treated with cold nnd dis
dainful Indifference by many of her own
sex. she waged her campaign with In
domitable rourage against many odds.
She can now enter Into the retirement
which she has so richly earned with the
comforting solace that those who decried
her methods and questioned her mo
tives are compelled by the political events
of the lust few years to acknowledge
thnt her labor for equal rights for women
has not been entirely In vain.
At Xorwnlk.
