An Important Congress.
The oonpifFs that will asemblo nt
Washington on the first Monday of De
cember will have before it a irr.-ive
qucstlnrva as hive confronted nny
t.'nited States inmikiyct slurp t!;e cl )?e
of the war. both as to hme-!?!le nnd
forelpn policy. First and foremost of
the problems the Incoming congress
will be compelled to grapple with is
that of national finances. Since the
present Democratic administration
came into power there has been a con
stantly increasing treasury deficit. Un
der the operation of the 111-F'arre.l 1, !
ley inaugurated by the Democratic ad
m'.nlstration and a Demoeraiic con
gre -a the revenues of the treasury have
fallen far below the expenditures of
the government. Again and again the
deple ted treasury has been replenished
by the Issue of bonds, only to be di
pleted again by 'the excefs of expendi
tures over the revenues. The Interest
bearing ebt of the nation has been
enormously increased and the burdens
of the next generation made the
heavier. The complacency of PresMent
Cleveland aa to his administration has
apparently not been in 'the sllshitest de
gree disturbed by this condition of af
fairs. Time after time .Mr. Carlisle, the sec
retary of the .treasury, has given the
ration arourancei. that the crisis had
been passed and that there would be no
further deficit; that the revenues of the
treasury would equal, If not exceed,
the expenditures; that the policy of the
rJtmoeracy would be vindicated. The
situation Is no more hopeful today than
it waa a year ago. IMont,h after month
the dulicit appears and a. further in
crease of the national debt becomes In
evitable. Our gold continues to flow
nut of the country and the treasury re
serve can be maintained only by sell
ing more bonds.
The Incoming congress being Republi
can will undoubtedly make an attempt
to effect a change In the general iinan
clal policy of the government with a
view to bringing the it-venues up to a
level with the expenditures. Congre-ss
can accomplish nothing decisive with
out the co-operation, or the assent, of
(President Cleveland. Congress can
enact legislation, but unless the presi
dent approves the bills parsed they
cannot 'become law. An Important
question, therefore, la to what extent
can the president be Induced to aban
don 'the ruinous policy that has resulted
In the desperate condition of affairs
now- prevailing In the national
finance? If he persists In adhering to
his avowed -theory Uiat the Wilson
tariff act, which provlde-s neither pro
tection nor revenue, la wise and patri
otic, then ithe hands of congress will
be tied, and relief, cannot be expected,
however anxious the people's represen
tatives and senators may be to relieve
the country. Hut whaitever the aittl
tude of the president may be, it will be
the duty of the Republicans In the new
oeingress to pass measures for the res
toration of ithe national finances to a
sound basis, leaving to President Cleve
land the responsibility of vetoing them.
Another question of the highest Im
portance that will come before this con
gress will be tha of our foreign, policy,
and more especially the attitude of the
United States with reference to Cuba.
Concerning thta matter the national ad
ministration has been utterly and
wholly out of harmony with the senti
ment of the people of this counitry.
'During the. prolonged, struggle of the
Cuban paitrlota for independence our
government has rendered Spain all the
ejd It could, not even being neutral in
(he struggle. Excessive and even un
necessary vigilance has been exerctaed
to prevent aid reaching the Cuban pa
triots from private sources in this
country. In view of the Jong and
brave rwtotanoe to tyranny by the Cu
bans, Spain could -not reasonably And
fault with this country if our govern
ment granted .belligerent rights to the
patriots. It will. tie a great surprise
If the incoming; congress does not take
this view of the matter. ' President
Cleveland cannot very well, in hie an
MMl me age, Ignore the Important
-WMittoiai wltfeb Um welfare of the
country will require congress to deal
with. What will he recommend con
cerning the condition of the national
finances? What will 'be the nature of
his discussion or presentation of the
struggle for Independence In Cuba? He
might make a iMiwrance on these
questions that would thrill the country
with patriotic pleasure. But nobody
expects tie will do so. lie is not a
sufficiently broad statesman tj admit
that the financial and tariff policy of
his administration and party Is a
wretched failure. lie Is not enough of
aiatrIottosynivthtze with a neighbor
ing people who are engaged In a bloody
struggle for Independence from the
tyranny of a foreign powvr. The new
congress has a duty to perform, how
ever, regurdless of the president. The
congress will represent the peuple. of
the TnMed States; President Cleveland
does not.
.
Says the Free 'Press: "It looks to us
as If this might be a good year for the
Democracy In Lackawanna county."
Look again, neighbor; look again.
Organized for Victory.
Announcement Is made of the selec
tion of Clerk of the Courts John H.
Thomas as chairman ef the Republican
county committee, suei'oeding Colonel
K. 11. Ripple. The choice la In every
respect an admirable one. Mr. Thomas'
skill as an organizer of political fore-es.
his thorough knowledge of political
geography and his discretion and e-ool-ness
have been abundantly demonstrat
ed, lie will, In himself, lie a tower of
strength to the county ticket, and will
possess the eotilldence of the party bt
hlnd him.
In this connection It Is no less than
Justice to Colonel iKipplo to bear public
testimony to the thoroughness with
which he has performed the duties now
relinquished to Mr. Thomas' care. De
spite the urgency of many private Inter
ests, the lute chairman subordinated
everything to the calls of his party, and
brought to the chairmanship a com
mand of Its responsibilities clearly evi
denced in the now historic results.
The choice of ex-tLloutenant Governor
Watres as treasurer, and of James K.
Watklns as secretary of the executive
committee, completes an organization
notable for its promised strength and
efficiency. Under such aible pllotuge It
will be fair to expect of 'Lackawanna
next November a verdict which will ef
fectually clear the pathway to the
greater battle of the ensuing year.
There are many who think that an
honest reconciliation between Oov
ernor Hastings and Senator Quay, If
It should occur, would easily carry with
It the possibility of the fornnr's nom
ination for president. We do not see
why this should be deemed Improbable.
Protection Is Very Huch Alive.
Benjamin W. Crier, of Philadelphia,
is not one of those who airily conclude
that beoause the business Interests of
the country long for 'Stability they are
nocciwarily hostile to a wise protectlve
tariff. Writing tj the Press" he says:
It would lie hard to conceive of a mo:-e
foolish communi atlon tlmn one published
in one of your contemporaries from its
Wasli nglon correspondent to the effect
that Keptibllcuns deprecate u reopening
of the turiiV finest. on, us It would inure
to the bein lit of the Democrats. The tar
iff will lie muile a leading issue, not only
.n congress, but In the following cnin
pulKii, until the shackles of Democracy
lire shaken olT und umple protection Is
afforded to every wage-earner and capi
talist In this country. The nianufactmvrs
of this country do not Intend to drown
their sorrow in the expectation of better
times when the ilav.u of protection u
pears. Neither do tiny Intend to be al
lured by any I'lil: th;it may be thrown out
by the WIlsiin-.M.IIs-c iormuii-L'levelnml
combination. They want protection In
lis fullest sense and they will get it.
There Is not a household from Mexico to
Manitoba, from Alaine. to California, that
has nut felt the effect to a greuter or less
extent of the rnvnglng hand of Democ
racy. Thorn-Amis of our business men
have hi en worried Into premature graves,
a few have partially recovered Humeri
scarred und ma med, and there lire yet
lying on the business biittleileld hundreds
of thousands of our best business men,
with only probably enoimh life remaining
to survive "free trade Democratic!" car
nage. The fact Is patent to all who are even
moderately conversant with business
conditions that the United States has
never had such prosperous times ns
she 'ha enjoyed under a flrmly-estab-lh.hpd
protective policy; nor such un
satisfactory times on 'have be-en precipi
tate d by the ill-conceived attempts of
free-'Irade theorists to overthrow pro
tection. I It not absurd, then, to sup
pose that buslr.pys men, whose account
books demonstrate! these truths, will
be content to perpetuate a legislative
system which glvis them the worst
trade, through fear of returning to a
system whloh experience proves gives
them thobest?
Business men are not fools. They
know on which side of the economic
fence their true Interests lie.
Chairman Wright has "heard from
each of the 67 counties of the state,"
and a "substantial reduction of the Re
publican vote Is expected." Does Mr.
Wright think that 2.'i0,000 Republican
pluralities are common things in Penn
sylvania? Crimes Against Women.
Apropos of the assertion that In the
years 1893 and 1894 in this civilized
country no fewer than 2,000 wives were
butchered by their husbands, while
many more received Injuries severe
but not fatal, llattle Tyng Grlswold
writes to the Chicago Times-Herald a
letter In which there are many Inter
esting points. The first Inquiry natur
ally suggested by these statistics has
reference to their cause. "They," says
Mrs. Clrlswold, "are doubtless many
and varied, but prominent among
them are strong drink and the mania
of sex, which 'Is an attendant upon
excessive Indulgence In it. As you reud
the accounts of these murders day by
day In the papers you are almost sure
to come upon the fitatement, 'Me had
been drinking heavily of late,' or 'The
man was Intoxicated.' . Very often an
insane jealousy Is the cause, produced
almost always by licentiousness and
Its attendant' diseases. Comparatively
few. murders of women are committed
by men free from these vices. Occa
sionally, of course, some wife Is mur
dered by 'her husband from avarice,
from an uncontrollable temper and
from a wkh to be rid of her that he
m.y marry another. But the total of
the.se crime's would tie Insignificant
were the other causes eliminated.
"If we add to the sum of these actual
murders the awful personal abuse un
dergone by thousands of women, hav
ing its root In the twin vices men
tioned, we should have a record of ap
palling blackness. And yet thousands
of men gradually give themselves over
to the jrower of the vice's whose only
logical end is violence and death. So
much for the causes of the reign of ter
ror among the 'helpless. Is there a
remedy? The powers that make for
righteousness must first be made aware
of the extent of the wrong doing. To
this end a full discussion of the facts
la nectit-ary, by press and pulpit, by
numerous clubs und by all who can
speak the word of power. Next, a close
study of causes, by all Intelligent peo
ple. Next, the more adequate punish
ment of all crimes against women, by
judges und juries. A little examina
tion of this subject will be a cause of
astonishment and dismay to most In
quiring minds. After that, more con
tinuous and effective effort along all
the old lines of educational and refor
matory work, with perhaps a few new
ones, which the knowledge gained by
investigation may evolve.
"If v. would but give over tilting
at windmill. like D.m Julxo.Ie of
lighting extinct Solon of discussing
at such great length the most foolish
questions of the hour, we might have
time and strength to plan u new e-ru-rade
for the re'scue of the Innocent
und the helpless, yhose blood Is crying
to us from the ground. With the
shrie'ks of these 2,000 murdered women
In our ears, we can 111 bear to see the
columns of Imbecility given every day
to the new woman. As the papers de
scribe her she seems to us to be
Neither inun nor woman,
Neither brute nor human,
But a being of man's imagination all
compact. And we desire with Intense
eui .'lestness to see the space given to
such vaporlngs used to help on the real
protection and advancement of wo
men. "There is need of a new order of
chivalry. Let the new knight be
pledged not to the help of beautiful
maidens alone, but to the succor of
defenseless women everywhere from
violence and death."
-
The question as to whether Gover
nor McKlnley's friends In this state
were "with" or "against" Senator Quay
In his recent campaign for state chair
man Is being discussed with some fer
vor by certain contemporaries. And
yet that Is Irrelevant to the more Im
portant question of Governor McKln
ley's fitness. We believe that Senator
Quay Is too big a Republican to dole
out his national favors by the small
rule which obtains In factional . war
fare. --
It has taken considerable time and a
great deal eif money to teach certain
interests the apparently simple lewson
that true prosperity cannot be expected
from artificial conditions in the coal
trade which involve the sale of coal nt
a loss. Hint if It shall be well learned,
the knowledge will be worth its price.
Senator Quay's reported distrust of
the spell-binding method of electioneer
ing suggests that he properly appre
ciates printers' ink.
As for McCarthy, though his corpse
be cold, his soul goes marching on.
THE "STRIBULK IN IX DA.
Our Duty Is 1'luin.
Philadelphia Record: "The history of
Spanish rule on the American continent
since its d.scovery by Columbus bus bei u
a Jong chronicle of selllsh greed and lu
enpae.ty. As a consequence all the vast
possesions of Spain upon the American
continent have oeen torn from her grasp
by the uprisings of subjects who sought
relief by revolution. It now appears pos
sible that Cuba will follow In the path
marked out by Mexico and the Central
and South American republics. The peo
ple of the United States who owe their
liberties to successful rebellion cannot
luok with Indifference upon the struggle
of the CuIkiii Insuri eet.onlsts. We not
only heatily sympathize with them In
their desire for better and freer govern
ment, but we have commercial Interests
in common more important than the Inter
ests of Cuba with any other country.
I'ndir such circumstances our govern
ment "hould lie swift to accord to the
struugllng revolutionists belligerent
rights the moment It becomes apparent
that their position has been so maintained
und their quarrel so obdurate anil de
serving as to entitle them to such recogni
tion." lollnw Sfnln's Own Kxotnplc.
Philadelphia Times: "If the United
States hud acted In Imitation of Spain at
the t'nie of our civil wur we should hnve?
l feminized the Cuban insurgents as bel
ligerents long ago. Within little move
thun a month after the nrst battle of Hull
Run, thut veus no more a victory for the
insurgents or the south than was there a
victory for the Cuban insurgents lit the
battle of IJuyumo, from which the Span
ish communilcr luicl to flee for his .re.
the government of Spain recognl.nd the
coafi 'letafn as IwUigerents. We have.
therefore, loh nuthorily In the example
of Spain to recognize the Culiun rebels 5is
belligerents, nnd- unless the war can by
conducted according to the laws of civil
Ized warfare It must become the duty of
civilized governments, ! the tntere.it of
humanity, to declnre the belligerent rights
or the insurgents, and ma. Mam them even
ut the cost of war with Spain."
I.iternliy Driven to Rebel.
Philadelphia Times: 'It will hardly be
disputed that no people have had greater
provocation to rebellion than the citizens
of i.nua, iney nave oeen oppressed,
robbed, punished without law, and prop
erty nnd life inado unsafe by the exactions
of Spain,"
COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
Tho Value of Ciowns on Judges.
Washington Post: "It is usvle-as to
question the Influence of forms nnd cere
monies on the m.mls und hearts of the
musses. All that can be sa.d m favor of
democrutle simplicity will not convince
Intelligent observers that It would be ad
visable for the justices of the Un.tecJ
States supreme court to abandon gowns
and drop all the formalities which are ob
served at the opening of each day's ses
sion of that tribunal. In most of tho
state courts and In many federal courts
there is too little form and an injurious
familiarity between the bar and the bench.
The wearing of gowns cannot make a
weak Judge strung; It cannot put a knowl
edge of law into an empty head; cannot
correct errors made In the election or ap
pointment of a Judge; it will, however,
tend to draw a proper line between the bar
and the bench, and will favorably Impress
the general public."
Urowlng More Obnoxious.
Cleveland World: "The saloon power Is
growing more and more obnoxious every
year, and l.h more It tries to Influence
politics the more intolerable It becomes.
It Is provoking the resentment which the
slave power aroused, and like the slave
power the more aggressive It becomes
the more certain it n to be overthrown,"
True Up This Way, Ton.
flttston Qasette: "The criminal of
Luserne have too long enjoyed the len
iency of court and Jurors, and It Is well
that the reaction has set In. The convic
tions found last week, and the heavy sen-
tencee Imposed upon the prisoners In
some cao the full cxterit of the law
cannot bet havo a deterrent effect upon
the i-ouni) a criminal ciusm-s. as well ca
upon other unfortunate fellows, good c ti

The Chlcagi Tribune has Interviewed
four I'n led Stales senator and forty-two
federal repreyentiifves on the Cuban ques
tion. The result shows a strong senti
ment In favor of the dispatch of a com
mission to Cuba, i: in! also in favor of
recognizing the belligerent rights of the
Insurgents as soon us It cull be done con
sistently. There are only a little handful
of members adverse lo tak'ng an ac
tion, and there were llfleen or more who
w'-re nor yet ready to) express their
views, but the la ore majority of I hose ad
dressed express themselves strongly In
sympathy with Cuba ami In favor of iyc

It Is rumored In Syracuse that the Xew
York state Democratic convention will
unanimously In lnrse Senator David It.
Hill for the Di inuerntle numlnat'on for
president. It Is stated that this Is the pro
gramme mapped out by the lenders, and
that Senator Hill has given the proposi
tion his approval. Such an netlon on the
part of the convention, II ll's fr'ends
claim, will secure the nomination at the
national convent'on. It would nt any rate
prove a hard blow for the Clevebind
Whllney iieople, for it Is pronounced an
open secret that Whitney contemplated
such a move himself.

Philadelphia Record: "Whnt has be

Minnesota, who was once regarded ns a
dark horse for the Republican convention

If there Is nny Democrat In the I'nlted
