Election day, Nov. S.

of Dairy and Food Commlsslomr 'Wells
rots at rest an Idle rumor which re
flected no credit on Its author. The gov
ernor la not a whlner In politics.
(letting Ready for Battle.
The harmony and enthusiasm which
prevail in the Republican ranks in this
county were conspicuously In evldemv
at yesterday's conference of the county
candidates and chairman of the recent
convention; and the character of the
nine men selected to co-operate with
the efneors of the county commltteee as
an executive committee having Imme
diate charge of the details of the cam
paign at once assures public confi
dence. There are many reasons why Lacka
wanna county should this year Rive
the Republican utate and county ticket
an especially strong support. The pres
ence of Judire YVlllard, a home candi
date, on the stats ticket, thus assuring
to the varied lejral Interests of the coun
ty adequate representation upon the
new Superior court bench and brlnclng
sessions of that tribunal to Scranton,
is one. The fadt that this battle Is a
pathway-blazer to the larger contest
of 1SS6, which will determine national
. policy, home and foreign, for years
to come, Is another. The admitted fit
ness of the locul candidates for the
offices to which they aspire. Is a third;
and a fourth may be cited in Lacka
wanna's Joint obligation to Governor
Hastings and State Chairman Quay,
both f whom rightfully expect to see
past differences harmonized by a rous
ing off-year plurality.
. The general danger fif a light vote
(jught not nd probably will not pre
vail In ...-nan-anna. No Incentive save
uncortaJnty of the result Is lacking to
bring every voter to the polls this fall,
there to ballot anew for honesty In state
and county government, and indireotiy
for the return of protection and pros
perity. The frequency with which third term
rumors are denied at Washington be
gins to arouse the suspicion that they
are being circulated for effect.
. - -
An Unwelcome Prediction.
That this Is a ago of condensation
does not require proof. The redundant
sermon Is scoffed; the flatulent editorial
Is tabooed; and even the spell-binder
has to boll It down or talk to melting
crowds. Hut a Chlcngo chemist, iJr.
floorge Plumb, goes rather far In front
of the procession when he declares
that the essential food elements of a
1,200-pound Pteer can be gotten Into nn
ordinary pill box. One of his tablets
the slzi of a pea makes, it Is said, a
large bowl of soup. A ration case of
his planning, which Weighed eight
ounces, contained the following supply:
Three tablets concentrated soups, equal
to three quarts; four tablets beef, equnl
to six pounds; one tablet milk, equal
to one pint; two tablets wheaten grits,
equal to two pounds; one tablet egg
food, equal to twelve eggs.
From the standpoint of pclence. all
this may be true, upon' the principle
that a pinch of dynamite equals In de
structive force a regiment of soldiers.
But for practical purposes, the squeez
ing of an ox into a pillbox Is fraught
with deterrent possibilities. Its suc
cessful achievement would proclaim
the doqm of the boarding; house, nega
tive the millions now Invested in hotels
and transform the whole economy of
Industry and commerce. This, It Is
easy to see, would not do. The com
pressive movement must atop. Occu
pations depend upon It.
'The shrinkage of victuals has gone
quite as far In the modern restaurant
M there is any necessity for.
As an abstract principle the aniU
' third-term rule may ibe unwise; but as
applied to drover Cleveland It Is an
overwhelming success. '
Our Ooverment and Cuba.
'Apparently authentic Washington ad
vices declare, upon authority, that the
administration '.'has no intention of
recognizing the belligerent rights of the
Cuban Insurgents, as such an act would
almost amount to a declaration of war
with Spain, and a matter of such importance-
should be left to the deter
mination of congress, - There will be
oonfTMslonal action or expression of
congressional opinion very soon after
the congress convenes. The president
will call attention to the Cuban situa
tion in his annual message."
The suggestion by Senator Sherman
of a congressional committee of Inquiry,-
to visit Cuba and report accu
rately asto the condition of things there,
meets with general favor, but the
Washington Star suspects that this
might lead to some movement by Eng
lund In Spain's behalf. "England." the
Star adds, "values her West India pos
sessions very highly, and treats them
well In tho way of their government.
Hut would ehe relish having a republic
set up next door to them a Cuban re
public? Would she ibe likely to hold
them In their present quiet and uncom
plaining condition very long after that?
iMuy tdie not produce a sort of Monroe
doctrine of her own, and announce that
she will not view with complacency the
settling up of a republican form of gov
ernment so close to her interests In the
West Indies? And It she should, what
would IXIr. Hayard be instructed to
say? What could ihe find It in his dip
lomatic heart to say?"
It Is lmpro.bii.Me, however, that any
action by England would be sufficient
to d.iter a Republican congress from tho
performance of Its duty toward Cuba.
Nor is the policy of non-intervention
advocated by Colonel W. A. Stone, of
this state, in accord with public senti
ment. It Is well that iarty lines have
not been drawn in this affair, for thus
Intelligent sympathizers with the vic
tims of 'Spanish oppression, whether
IVmoerats or Kenillieans, are left
free to stand together in udvoeacy of
government recognition of the Cuban
insurgents. 3 Hit should there be tin
attempt to turn the subject into a
party Issue, Republicans cannot ufford
to occupy the attitude of foes to liberty.

America in the East.
One of the Interesting vistas of specu
lation recently opened to students of
current events by reason of the war be
tween China and Jupan concerns
America's future influence In the east.
The Tribune recently printed a resume
of trade statistics showing how, al
though we buy mure of Japan than any
other nation, we also sell to Japan less
than to any other. Xew light is shed on
this phase of the question by Crosby S.
Xnyes, the observant editor of tho
Washington Star, who has Just re
turned from a third visit to the land of
tilt; mikado. In the course of some
published rellectlons and deductions
apropos of this visit Mr. Noyes says:
America uimht to take a very impor
tant part it' our people ami government
won! a only wake up lo tliu importance of
extending our trade utitl influence in tho
east on the Poiiteis of the i'aeille, which
U our riulitful heiil of. commerce. Hut o
long as we pursue our present abject hu
iiill.iitliiK policy of crippling American In
terests m the 1'ucllle, iiisteail of helping
them, U we have done notably in ilu
wa:l im il Samoa there ts not much to be
Iiuped for. About all the part we aiu
likely to take In the 1'acllle Is to piny sec
ond tM'lle to England us we have done ut
Hawaii.
It is to be hoped, however, that we shall
make a stand somewhere, ami that the tie
man. I of Knglitihl that she shall have a
nominal. nn voice In the Nicaragua can il,
even If we build it, will not he allowed to
stop the construction of that work, A
visit to Japan shows the Immense impor
tance of that canal to American com
merce. For instance, Japan uses a larue
amount of American cotton $l."i,Wm.iiv
worth or more annually but it is all or
nearly all bought from IHiKlish brokers
and goes nil the way round by the Suez
canal to Yokohama: whereby America
loses the prolits of brokerage, transporta
tion, insurance, etc. This Is because of
the cheupness of the water haul as com
pared with mixed land and water trans
portation, and also because there is no
trans-shipment required between New
York and Yokohama v. a Suez. When the.
Nicaragua canal is built all this will bo
changed, and cation will go through l y
that route from New York to Yokohama,
without trans-shipment and Inone-thiid of
the distance required by the Suez route.
Tiila la mile one illustration out of many
of the benefits to this country that may Im
expected from the construction or mo
canal.
It is humiliating that we have to crosn
the i':ieiie whether from flan Francisco
or Vancouver under the Br lish flag. We
ought to huvu a fleet of first-class Ameri
can steamers, aided by mail subalilies. as
the Hrltlsh stenm,ers are, to maKe ine ir.p
from Kan Fruneisco or i 'Intel Sound to
Yokohama- In ten days, and thus bring
back t) us the freight and passenger I raf
fle thnt'is now being diverted to the I'an
nd'an I'ncifie line. We ought to push on
the construction of the Niearagunn canal,
u-n miir'nt lo uroniiillv avail ourselves of
our trenly privilege In-fore it laoi-.es of cs-
tdhlirhing a naval star on ai renri nar
lmr 'n Hawaii, and we ought to hold on lo
our footing In Samoa and at every other
point In the Pacific that will soon be
needed to prote.-t and extend the vast
commerce that will spring up between
America and the As'atio 1'aciiio It we im
prove our opportunities.
These are the views of an American
of large culture and long familiarity
wllh the ways and means of polities,
national and International. They are
corroborated by nearly every other
American' traveler to the orient, and
by most, If not all, the men who have
represented our government In China
find Japan. That we are neglecting our
opportunities through sheer lack of
prescience and fixity of purpose In the
Washington state department Is the
wdl-nlgh unanimous verdict a fact
the more singular Inasmuch as among
the Japanese Americans are especial
favorites, and the American flag Is held
In exceptional esteem. Such a condition
Is already anomalous; In the yearn to
come, with their vastly multiplied fa
cilities of trade and travel it will. If per
sisted In, be actually disgraceful,
At th.ls particular writing It Is the
simple truth to say that presidential
politics have a slightly western look.
v
Make It a Profession.
One of the reforms to which the Re
publican parly should pledge Itself Is
the elevation of our consular and dip
lomatic service to a par with that of
countries like England, France and
Russia. The United States Is rapidly
nearlng a point In its rapid develop
ment where It will be forced, In de
fense of American commercial Inter
ests as well as In obedlencj to nalloii.il
self-respect, to play more than a pas
sive part In the game of International
statecraft. It could not, if It would
escape from this necessity. -Every day
brings us nearer to the Inevitable pe
riod when our republic will be as In
fluential a power among the great
powers as England or Russia Is now;
and If we would preserve the dignity of
American Institutions In foreign eyes,
we should qualify for that task men
of greater fitness end experience than
the Illiterate ward worker In the city
or Ihe swashbuckling editor of the
country party organ, upon whom we
now draw when we want new repre
sentatives at foreign courts.
The forward step taken by President
Cleveland In removing from the
now-potent grasp of the spoils
men all consular positions pay
Ina between $1,000 and $2,M)0 an
nual salary, although fairly open to
the suspicion of having been dictated
by partisan expediency in the wish to
retain present appointees when th ad
ministration shall have changed, is
nevertheless to be commended. It is
a right action, whose results. In the
course of time, ought to be of real bene
fit to the country. The rules for the se
lection of diplomatic recruits under this
order are doubtless crude. There is
probably large margin for the machina
tions of the spoilsmen, -whereby incom
petency may be gilded Into apparent
acceptability, thanks to partisan in
doraement. Rut the tnaln tenor of the
Innovation 1s In the right direction. It
jMilnts to. If It does not fully achieve,
Improvement; ami the path thus
marked will yet be followed to better
realizations.
What la needed Is simply the opening
to young men of diplomatic careers, un
der, circumstances which will encour
age honest and studious preparation,
and discourage Ignorance or Imposture.
These circumstances prevail In the
army and in the navy. They offer to
every honest recruit in either brnnch
of the military service the possibility of
winning shotilderstrnps tiy meritorious
(-..induct, and do not neutralize this In
centive by yielding preferment to Ig
norance with a. "pull." When the for
eign service of the American govern
ment, from ambassadors to legation
secretaries, shnll be established upon a
feimarent basis that, without refer
ence to party, will duly reward capabil
ity when displayed, and will not put
into each servant's cup the poison of
political uncertainty, we will as a na-tl-.n
be prepared to enter the game of
diplomacy uon terms of approximate
equality with out chief competitors.
The Washington Tost Is unfortunate
In Its re-mark that Mr. Cleveland "pro
poses to make the stale department a
kindergaiten for diplomacy." .As we
understand Mr. Cleveland's purpose, ho
simply desires to have the American
consular service reward merit and re
press Ignorance. If It takes kinder
garten methods to make consuls fit for
their work, then the quicker they get
to tnfant school the better.
If the discovery that cancer Is com
munlcaible by personal contact will have
a tendency to discourage the sickly
kissing habit among girls, a gratified
public Willi gladly take the other risks.
The parent who visits the public
schools and co-operates with the
teacher Is the parent whose children
succeed In life.
Spain's bombastic talk about
"butchering the Cuban rebels" has
something of a Chinese flavor.

POLITICAL (.OSSll. '
Senator Pettigrew, of South Dakota, nrt
Vises political prophets to keep an eye on
Senator Cushman K. Davis, of .Minnesota.
Hays be: "Imvis' prospects brighten ev
ery hour, lie w.ll go into the convention
with live to eight states solid, lie Is a
friend of all the gentlemen whoso names
have been mentioned for the place, and
will not excite personal antagonism.
While nobody ever accused him of being
a trimmer or attempting to carry water
on both shoulders, there is no truer friend
In the country of both the working man
nnd the business man. It is perhaps a
curious fact that while so many distin
guished and able lawyers have been al
most all their lives representatives of opu
lent rn'lroads. steamship companies, etc.,
Davis lias never been a corporation law
yer. Indeed, he has generally been em
ployed et'oinst corporations In law suits
which affected them. It would be a great
thing fur the I'nited States If It could
have nt the head of affa'rs n man whose
sympathies are so cosmopolitan, and
whose scholarship embraces ut once the
practical knowledge of the statesman
nnd the elegant acquirements of a littera
teur. I'erhaps no man in America his
inc.ro thoroughly mastered our relations
wllh other nations, ami his speeches and
roports concerning the bumptiousness and
buccaneering hsblts of Oreat Hritain will
tend to Increase his popularity at the pres
ent time."

Walter Wellman learns thnt the Cleve
land people had "set up" a Job on Sena
tor Hill prior to the Syracuse convention,
whereby the Democratic state machinery
was to be adroitly wrested from the con
trol of Hill and put in the hands of Whit
ney. Hut David tumbled to tho trick and
soon bad It nipped. "Senator Hill," says
Mr. Wellman. "Ilnds It impossible to for
give anyone who opposed his election for
governor last fall. That was the saddest
experience of David's life he was caught
In his own trap and slaughtered with h's
own weapons nnd it hirs left scars on his
soul. If Charles Fn'.rchild, ex-secretary
of the treasury, had not bolted Hill last
year he could now have what ho wanted,
which Is tho nomination for governor next
year. Hill won't permit any man who
bolted him In I MM to have anything to say
now. His hand Is raised against every
man who was not a lighting Democrat In
that crisis. Moreover, he has n shadowy
sort of conviction thnt It was Mr. Whit
ney who set up the governorship lob on
him Inst summer, nnd he doesn't Intend
that Mr. Whitney shall get his clutches
on Ihe party now. Hill doesn't like Whit
ney, nnd, while not lighting him openly,
hns concluded to go Into the Warwick
business on his own account. ".

Professor flhiel, of Plttston. thinks tho
plank In the slate Republican plat
form railing for the divorcement of tho
public school from politics "would make
an Instructive motto for the walls of the
meeting rooms of every school board In
the state; nnd If Senator Quay should
earnestly, sincerely anil successfully work
lo convert that principle from a mero
abstract statement into a (Ancrete. living,
working fnetor In our public, school sys
tem, he would achieve the greatest vic
tory In his life, and the one most preg
nHnt In fruitful results to his slte. l,et
him," the professor adds' "workj for the
accomplishment of this end, and If he suc
ceed he will bo as worthy of . revered
nnd enduring monument in honor of his
achievement as Thaddeim Stevens, tho
founder of our common school system, or
HI ghee, Its ablest exponent and defender."
"Howard" believes thoroughly In bosses
In politics. "Is there," he asks, "any In
stitution on the face of the earth, financial
or social, In which there Isn't a chief?
Armies have generals, hanks presidents,
great newspapers editors, gangs of labor
ers foremen, theaters managers; every
great Insurance company, like banks and
other corporations, has from forty to
twenty trustees or directors. Of these,
six or seven attend regularly and carefully
to business. Among those six or seven
there Is invariably a dominating mind.
What he says goes, you know It; so do I.
Therefore, all this talk against bossea n
politics in buncombe, and hypocritical
buncombe at that." it la nnaalKi ih.i
"Howard" confuses bosalsm and lender-
snip, terms wntcn are uy no means syno
nymous. To "Oath" matters presidential have,
at present, a McKlnley look. Bays he:
"William McKlnley, Jr.,. Is now seasoned
by thirty-four years of continuous publlo
occupation soldier, staff officer, district
attorney, congressman, lender of con
gress, platform maker, president of con
vention, twice governor. He was born the
year Henry Clay was almost president,
1H44, when Blaine was 16. He has made
this extended career without slips, over
doings, personalities or petulancies. His
path has been like a good road horse's, In
the right, safe and bones t. There have
been no rivalries he has not composed. A
great deal Is In a man who can from
plain surroundings feel' the presidency of
the land to be not beneath h:m."
Apparently abashed by the silence which
greeted its recent shriek for "some good
southern man." the esteemed Washington
Post Is apparently now convinced that the
Democracy will have to go west for Its
presidential candidate. Does It want Mor
rison? The rumor of a new fight on Senator
Quay Is Interesting, but scarcely Impor
tant. It would be u. very foolish undertak
ing, in view of the outcome of the last
one, and we don't Ixdievu there's a particle
of truth In the tale.

COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
How to Kediico Crime.
Ch'cngo T!nies-llernld: "Not more
drastic penalties but greater elllciency In
the apprehension of the criminals Is re
quired. We have commented on the grow
ing feeling against capital punishment
which must prevent the extension of the
death penalty to crimes against property.
While not disposed to advocate the abol
ishment of hanging, we must ad'iiit that
the superior activity of the hangman in
certain slates In the 1'nloii has nut had a
marked effect In increasing public re
pose. The four stales of Khode island,
Michigan, Maine and Wisconsin, which
luive abolished capital punishment, are
among ihe most orderly In the t'nlon. on
tho oilier hand, observe the stales wbero
hanging is prescribed for other crimes
than murder. Capital punishment Is pro
vided In liouis'tiua for murder, rape, as
sault with Intent to kill. ndinltiiaMo'ing
poison, arson and burglary; In Delfllsaru
and North Carolina for murder, raue, ar
son and burglary; in Alabama for murder,
rape, arson and rubbery; in (liorgia for
minder, rape, mayhem and arson; In Mis
souri for murder, perjury, rape and train
robbing; In Virginia, West Virginia,
South Oirol'na and M ssissippl for mur
der, rape and arson: In Florida. Kentucky,
Tennessee, texus and Arkansas lor min
der and rape; In Montana for murder and
arson by night: in Maryland for murder
and ursiin: In California for murder and
train robherv. The mora Is obvious.
Capital punishment by -itself Is of no great
value.
To Check Train-Uohhlng.
Chicago Times-Herald: "If the rail
way companies will band together and In
duce congress to pass a law with a rea
sonably severe tieiinllv. bringing train
rubbing directly within the supervision of
the federal authorities, Ihey will do more
toward breaking up the ugly business
than they can nosil.lv accomplish by pro
curing slnle legislation which will be in-
(lluerently executed."
A Kccrcttahlc circumstance.
rittsttin Item: "For the past eight years
there has been a steady uplifting of tho
Scranton schools, n fact of which the citi
zens of Scranton are cognizant and proud.
It is a rt greitalile circumstance that po
litical or other consiiierat.ons shouil
oblige the oflleer, who has been so largely
instrumental In accomplishing such good
results, to retire from the Held of effort
with which he has been for so many years
identified."
How About the Churches?
Chicago Times-Herald: "It Is thought
that the Republicans will not carry a sin
gle brewery in New York stale this fall."
Having Trouble with Honesty.
Washington Post; "The New York De
mocracy is also having sumo trouble with
its rural appendix."
.Specimen of Spanish Kulo,
From the London Times.
A typical ease 'bearing on fipan'sh ad

loaded a cargo of ii.MHi ions of coal In Syd

clearance papers, reducing the weight of
coal to kilogrammes, but unfortunately,
wrote iMi.iniu in place of J,.Siiii,iie. u ar
rival at Havana tho master of the ves
sel pointed out the mistake to the au
thorities, and stated that it was a clerical
error without tnlcnl.on to defraud. The
agents to whom the vessel was consigned
wrote to the consul nt Sydney, and re
ceived a reply that the error was entirely
on his part. The matter was duly laid be
