Probably the saddest feature of this year's political crop is the widespread prevalence of the Individual who doesn't know he Is dead. An Opportune Return. The homeiromlng of Senator Quay from his Florida piscatorial pursuits will be most opportune It It shall have the effect to seal the lips, for a time. Of those of his intimate friends who just now are planning a factional foray Into the political preserves of Christo pher L. Ma gee. We refer, of course, to Senator Penrose, who Is indiscreetly permitting himself to be Interviewed as to the power and probability at the Andrews probing; committee's going to Lexow Pittsburg. 'At a later date than Nov. 6 we should have no possible objection to the unbos oming of the young Philadelphia sena tor's hostility to Mr. Ma gee. In that event the Issue would be one of such minor concern to the state-a.t-larg that it could well afford to sit back and enjoy the fun. Just now, how ever, there are other Interests at stake Interests which render It especially ob ligatory upon leaders in the recent fac tional warfare to subordinate Individ ual feeling to the paramount considera tion of party harmony. We trust that Senator Penrose will have no difficulty In identifying, our meaning. " e , The principal lesson taught by the average play of today Is that the fool census la not yet on the decline. Don't Worry About Reed. There la In progress Just now a good deal of superfluous worrying as to the probable policy of Thomas B. Reed as speaker of the next national house of representatives. Able conservators of public morals and profound pilots of public opinion are expending a pro digious amount of gray matter In the pffort to convince :Mr. Reed that the surest way to wreck the bark contain ing his presidential hopes will be to utilize the vast opportunities of the speakership as so many pawns In the grand manoeuver for party support. For our part, we have confidence that Mr. Reed understands this fact quite as clearly, a do any of his voluntary advisers. Ills record as a public offi cial of conspicuous uprightness and in dependence, the name which he has won during a long period of brilliant public service for' unswerving Integrity and line scorn for the shufflings and evasions of small-minded place-hunters, and his wholesome firmness of con science and character suffice for us as a guarantee that he will, as speaker, have In view only the welfare of his country and his party. Insinuations, to the contrary are as Insulting as they are Impertinent. - - Individual success or failure has a good deal to do with coloring one's views of life. There are few steady optimists among the criminal and paupers, .i .. . A Chapter of Facte. The Rochester Post-Kx press Is an Independent paper wKh Democratic leanings, but It tells the (ruth regard less of partisan ffect. Its Washington correspondent has had compiled from official reports and statements furn ished by the treasury from time to time for the Information of the public, (he condition of our finances and for eign commerce as they appear on the treasury books. The Interest-bearing Indebtedness amounted to (he sums named, at (he dates given, vis: June 80, 1889, $829,853,990; June 80. 1892, $585, 029,830; Mot. 80. 1893, $586,032,880; June 30, 1894, $634,041,890; Aug. 81, 1895. $747, 360,610. It will be observed that during three years of President Harrison's ad ministration there was si decrease of $G44,tt4.246, and from Nov. 80, 1893, (here was an increase during (he pres ent administration,, of $182,327,620. For the year ended June 80, 1895, there la reported a deflcltamountlng (o $43,941, 189. This deficit 4s further augmented sty expenditures over Income during July and August 4o (he amount of $14, 75,368. The aggregate of these amounts f deficit, and increase In .Interest bearing debt since Nov. SO, 1893, la 320,44,577. The Interest bearing debt Ws decreased tr. the payment of gov ernment bonds during President Har rison's administration to the amount of $259,074,200. The balance In the treasury June 30, 1889. was $27.531.010. On June 30, ISM. the balance was $126, 692.377. and on June 30. 1894, It was $117,584,437. Thus, it will be observed, there was a net saving, during Presi dent Harrison's administration, of 99, 234.576, which was utilised In the extin guishment of that amount of the na tional debt, and the total reduction of liabilities would Include am Interest charge of at least $10,000,000. This pre sents to the American voter, compar ing the last Republican with 4he pres ent Democratic administration. In fav or of the farmer and against the latter, a difference or $320,879,151 Neither will the Democratic editors find any consolation In our export and Imimrt statist tea, aa will be seen by the following: For the year ended June 30, IS!;, the total value of our exports was $1,030,278,148, and for the year ended June 30, 1S94. JsU2.M0.5i:, showing a de crease of $138,137,576. Imports paying duty. 1892. $3-0.328.199; Imports paying duty, ISM. $275.1!.OSO; a decrease of $95,139,113: total Imports, 1SD2. $S29.402, 462; total lmKrts, 1S94, $654,944,622; a decrease of $174,475,840. From the state ment published In the Ixindiui Times of the 10th of July. 1S15, it will be readily understood why the Wilson bill was so emphatically endorsed by the people of Great Britain, and why Mr. Wilson was entertained so cordially by the business men of London. The Times says that the l,oaiI of trade returns for the last six months show an In crease In almost all kinds of Itritlsh ex ports to this country to the amount of $:n,633,365 over the same period of 1S94. while there was a decrease of Imports from this country to Great Britain dur ing the same period of $14,500,81)5. The continually Increasing deficit In Income as compared with our expenditures has been the very reverse of what Mr. Wilson said would be the fact, under his policy. The foregoing figures tell their own story and need no further comment. Prosperity Is not a surprise under Republican rule. Mexico and Cuba. There Is much In common between (Mexico and Cuba. The inhabitants of the two countries spouk a common language; they have a common history of oppression at the hands of Spain; and In numerous racial characteristics as well as In social ties covering a cen tury of checkered existence there Is a marked kinship. These facts lend plausibility to the report that It Is Mexico's Intention to recognize Cuba's Independence; and give substance to the possibility that, once free, Cuba would seek a close alliance with the Mexican republic. In the meantime, the republic of the United States, which was the first prac tical demonstration of the feasibility of republican government, appears to be profoundly indifferent, despite the In tense and growing sympathy of Its people with the struggling patriots of Cuba. The failure of this nation to take the lead In .recognizing a neigh bor nation's contest for liberty would be as gross an affront to our history as the annexation of Cuba by Mexico would be a stupendous rieglect of American opportunity. When congress convenes, If not be fore, we may expect some evidence of manhood and sanity in connection with the Cuban question. The notion that political pa'tronage helps the politician who controls It Is often a mistake. Senator Oormun, the Maryland boss. Is on record with the remark that for every friend he' makes by an appointment to office, he makes a dozen enemies. So far as the great majority of minor offices are concerned, the practical politicians would fare bet ter were these placed under civil ser vice reform. It is quite within the probabilities that former spoilsmen will one day be prominent as civil ser vice reformers. There Isn't much doubt that contem porary methods of expending public school funds are extravagant In the ex treme. It ought, with wise manage ment, to be easily possible, with pres ent means, to provide amide accommo dations and abundant instruction In the proper branches of public school work for every boy and girl of school age In the United States. The trouble Is In the money skimped from the es sentials and wasted on the trimmings of the curriculum. Even tt Oeorge S. Ferris were not a clean- and loyal Republican which he Is the prospect of three Democratic Judges on the f.uxerne bench would be enough to swing him In line for Ben nett. Nothing Is surer than that Ben nett will win. A healthy boy, out of school without proper excuse. Is a living reproach to American civilisation, and a prima facie evidence of weakness In American government. The "New South" will do well to take contemporary tributes modestly and not prematurely conclude that she and perfection are twins. Just a wtrd to the Wllkes-Barre Leader: Have your fun with Chairman Tompkins before election. It will be his turn to laugh, afterward, i -, flo long as the president of the United States Is content to be clad- In plain "hand-me-downs" It Is Idle to contend that Judges need gowns. , . .. ' Senator Penrose might better bottle up his factional grudges until after election. The city of Pittsburg will stay there that long. We have seen no explanation why a European country like Spain should tyrannise over any part of the western hemisphere. Senator Quay' southern Ashing trip has put him In the mood to hook a big basketful of suckers, Nov. 6. With (Penrose for McKlnley and Stone for Reed, there's still a chance for Quay to await developments. , Dr. Parkhurat's arrival home after a vacation spent In Europe sets at rest recent rumors that he was not In sym pathy with the Roosevelt campaign. Bays the doctor: "Mr. . Roosevelt bas done the only thing a self-respecting of ficial could have done and I will stand by him till the death." What will be Tammany's next He? . The withdrawal of W. R. Bell from the "editorship of (he Scranton Times takes from our city a brilliant writer and courteous gentleman whose con duct of that paper has been the most prosperous period In its history. Mr. Bell is assured of the best wishes of a wide circle of friends for his success In Washington, to which city he will re turn, and of a cordial welcome when ever he shall revisit Scranton. We take pleasure la announcing that Mr. Bell will, during the next session of congress, serve The Tribune as Us spe cial Washington correspondent. The Wllkes-Barre Times declares that In Luzerne county a "deliberate murderer is a thousand times freer from danger of conviction or punish ment than the man who steals an an cient hen from his neighbor's chicken coop." What Is the Times doing to se cure a better enforcement of lawT A' provisional organization of the government of the republic of Cuba is now being effected. It will soon make a formal demand upon the United States for diplomatic recognition. This will afford the desired opportunity for your Uncle Samuel to do his duty. Will he do It? Those who doubt the sincerity of the Republican reform plonk can establish it as a vital rule of government by electing trustworthy representatives to office. They need not leave the whole burden on Quay's shoulders. , Does the Wllkes-Barre News-Dealer really believe that it was Republican legislation which caused the recent panic? If It does, what are Its rea sons? Mr. Fassett's modest announcement that he Is "simply In the ranks" doesn't necessarily mean that he Is obstinately determined to stay there. The room for Improvement In con temporary law enforcement Is not all confined to Lucerne county. The calling of an extra session of congress would effectively re-advertlse Democracy's Incapacity. Of course, it would be rude In Scran ton to win that cup all at once. Today's equinoctial storm will be bet ter appreciated when. seen. There will be few mourners around the tomb of the bloody shirt. Even those who dislike Piatt will prefer Piatt to Tammany. Expediency Is a good dog, but princi ple Is a better. Speaking of bosses, what do you call Harrlty ? POLITICAL GOSSIP. Sober second thought has convinced many Republicans who were recently hos tile to Governor Hustings that rlttlit down at the bottom he Is a good deal of a man. His conduct since the August con vention hasTieen of m kind to win new ad miration; and there Is art Incident that huppened prior to that celebrated climax whk'h conllrniH this estimate of the nov el nor's character. It Is well known that Captain Ieaney, tho superintendent of public buildings and grounds, has for years been an intimate friend and devoted follower of Senator Quay. Their relations Iwve always been of an exceedingly close and confidential nature. He has also been a true friend of Governor Hastings, and Is a Irian who nature disinclined him to plHy the- part of neutrality when there is lighting to be dona. Therefore whun the late difference arose. Captain belaney went to the governor and said: ''General, you know my life-long obligations to Senator Quay. You also know how I feel toward yourself, t'nder the circum stances, for the first time In my life, I must ask for permission to abstain from taking any part In the factional warfare." "Captain," was the governor's response, "I appreciate your position fully, and shall expect you to do nothing that would em barrass your friendship for the senator. 1 do not want any man to forget past obli gations because of present oHIelal rela tions. Do your official duty. That Is all I shall ask." II II II As evidence of the political relationship existing between Piatt and Quay two cir cumstances during the recent tight In this state are Interesting at this time. It Is not generally known, but It Is true that shortly before the Lackawanna primaries, certain local representatives of Henator Quay communicated with ex-Senator I'latt In New York and asked him to get the Vanderbilts to use their Influence upon the management of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Hal I road com pany to Induce It to espouse the cause of the Heaver senator. Air. I'latt promised to do what he could In the premises, und he did endeavor to effect the desired end, but It is known that the Vanderbilts wisely declined to Interfere'. The other circumstance relates to the sudden deser tion at Hurrlshurg of two Mradford coun ty delegates who had been Instructed to support Gllkeson. It appears that these two men are employes of Mr. Piatt's ex press company.. A few hours prior to the caucuses at Harrlsburg It Is said that they received a dispatch from the president of that company In which the frank ulti matum was lull down that they must either vole for Quay for chairman or re sign their positions with the express com pany. They voted for Quay. II II If Ooss:p from Harrlsburg Is to the effect that ere snow tiles there will a radical weeding out of those departments on the hill which are In touch with the guberna torial mansion. There are a number of clerks in some of these departments who In the late unpleasantness assumed an obnoxious, good-Lord-good-devll atti tude, although In honor bound to stand liy the governor. It will not be surprising, according to current rumor. If these non descripts should awaken some fine De cember morning to llnd their heads off. The governor, It Is said, has no fault to llnd with any fair and open opponent. He Is a manly fighter, who can take punish ment as well as give It. But men who know Intimate that he has a profound contempt for those who In a flat Issue, after giving pledges of support afterward carry water on both shoulders with a view to landing on the winning slda. Ills dis pleasure, it Is said, does not go out against the Quay men, who stood up like men, but It Is strong against the traitors, and he Is represented aa regarding such men as unworthy of further trust. II II II Although C. L. Alagee challenges an in vestigation of Pittsburg's municipal gov ernment by the Penrose committee, he Is not In good humor with reference to the subject. He calls the proposed Inquiry a "new combination of the Puritan and the blackleg;" and says the action of the Alleghany reformers In calling upon the Andrews crowd for help is like "men Im agining a fly In their bowl of soup and taking a stable fork te fish It out un likely to find a fly and certain to foul the '0UPC - ii ii ii Tunkhannock Republican: "It hi the general opinion that each voter can vote for seven Judges of the Superior eourt this fall, because that number are to be elected. That Is a mistake,, as only six can be voted for by any one voter. There fore, Republicans should be very careful In casting their vote for the six Republic an candidates only. Wo are not Interest ed in the seventh Judge, who must coma from the Democratic ranks. Let that party do Its own electing." II II. II The Washington Post most emphatically reiterates Its recent assertion, upon direct authority, that President Cleveland en tertains no thought of another nomina tion, and that no friend of his will eliaar originate or consider a proposition to that effect next year. . , l. The impression is general that Thomas B. Head expects, as speaker of the next houae. to be In a position to commend po tent Influence In next year's convention. There are wlilspers of coming surprises in this connection. II I' M The Wllkes-Barre Leader errs when It says that Lackawanna county's two dele gates to the next national Republican convention wore Instructed. II I And now Senator Vest denies that he has recanted his free-silver view, and wants to whip the man who started the story that he had. Editor John McCarthy, of the Hasleton Sentinel, will be Congressman Lelsen ring's private secretary at Washington next winter. . . 'I I' 'I Colonel E. J.
