Election tiny, Nov. S.
Karrltv objec ts to thp elimination o
the unit rule In Democratic national
conventions, anil so far as Lackawanna
Is concerned, Harrlty's objection goes
The Democratic Convention. ,
The triumph of ex-Sheriff Fancy and
the downfall of County Chairman
Roche In yesterday's Democratic coun
ty convention were pulllclcntly marked,
In themselves, to do away with the
need of comment. The enemy Is now
hopelessly divided: and all that Re
publicans will have to do to make the
division permanent will he to pet out
their entire vote for the splendid state
and county Republican ticket, and win
the county by an unprecedented plural
ity.
But before we dismiss this subject we
desire to voice our hisjh appreciation of
the humoriet who drafted yesterday'
platform. As a pern of exnuislte satire
it reads like a work of Mark Twain
We particularly deplre to felicitate this
unknown but Indubitably plftej author
upon his second plank, the plank which
says: "We congratulate the business
man, the mechanic, the farmer and the
toilers of our splendid and thrifty
county on thp return of prosperity un
der the careful. Judicious and magnifi
cent management of a Democratic pol
Icy inaugurated under the solemn
pledge of the national platform of 1S!2.'
As a specimen of polished and prlitterinR
Irony we submit that this is Incompara
ble In the literature of political plat
forms.
After throwing thousands of work'
Inpmen out of employment, shutting up
numberless shops, mills and stores, and
so frlffhtenlnp money into its, hiding
places that for months It overtaxed the
local charities to keep the workless and
wapeless victims of Democratic admin
istrative imbecility In clothes and food,
we like the child-like nerve of the local
Democracy in even pretending, albeit
Ironically, to call such a management
of the nation "careful, judicious and
magnificent."
There Is one thing, though, which this
Ingenious rhetorician forgot. He for
got to compliment the Cleveland ad
ministration on the debts It has made.
We didn't notice that there was a re.t
olutlbn of regret because of ex-Sheriff
Robinson's retirement from politics.
A Vivid Contrast.
'A curious condition of affairs exists
In the city attorney's office In Pitts
burg. Although during the period from
1SS2 to 1891 the gross cash collections
amounted to $2,4S3,8t0.S0, It Is now dls
covered that no cash book was kept
and that there aire no satisfactory rec
ords of the money's source and destina
tion. fThe funds, It Is alleged, were de
posited to t'he attorney's personal ac
count In the bank, and If they drew In
terest It does not appear that the Inter
est reached the city treasury.
It Is evident from these assertions,
Which are made by the present control
ler, that there has been an exceedingly
lax If not positively criminal conduct
of the office. The contrast afforded" be
tween such a spectacle and the system
atic and business-like methods In vogue
In the office of Scran ton's city solicitor
Is most vivid. There Is manifestly urn
ent need of reformation In some parts
of the municipal government of the
Smoky City.
The unterrlfled evidently forgot to
adopt a plank eulogistic of OIney;s pale
yellow foreign policy.
Evangelizing the finises.
The energetlo revival campaign In
augurated by tho Methodist churches
of Philadelphia has occasioned a de
cided stir In that ordinarily placid city;
and the 'big First Regiment armory, In
which the. meetings . are held, are In
consequence crowded nightly. There
Is exhibited by some of the Protestant
churches In the Quaker City a dlspo
filtlon to scoff at the unconventional
processes of this revival, but this Is
merely one manifestation of the wide
spread spirit of excluslveness Bnd
patrician indifference to the unfortu
nates of earth which existed among the
Pharisees In Christ' Alme, and which
has not yet wholly disappeared. '
. It will 'be remembered that It was In
this same city 'that a prominent mem
ber of the Salvation army was lately
mated tor praying In tha street In
justice to the Christian sentiment of
Philadelphia it should be added that
the magistrate's conduct In this episode
was swiftly and generally condemned.
Without belittling the regular work of
the various religious denominations it
can be said that the religious revival.
In any seemly form that brings the es
sence of the Christian gospel home to
men and women ordinarily alien to its
Influences, is a public benefaction,
whether conducted by conventional
church agencies or by extraordinary
auxiliary forces like the followers of
General Hooth.
There are many persons who share
the venerable Dr. Ixgan's fear that the
Protestant church, in a general sense,
is In its new consciousness of material
ease, elegance and prosperity, losing
sight of flie suffering sinners that
crouch outside Its pale, and forgetting
the Divine injunction to care for the
outcast. Whatever the agency that
breaks down these artificial barriers
and frees the church to a nobler per
formance of its duty to 'humanity
whether ft be the fearless proselyting
of the Salvation army, the virile
evangelization of the Itinerant revival
ist or the forceful endeavor of t'he home
missionary, working In the by-paths
where unasslmllated foreigners segra
gate deserves cordial commendation;
for by such means Is the flame of real
Christianity replenished.
Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, bns
Icnsed a house in Philadelphia. Mr.
Edmunds has readied the age when
men want rest.
Cut 'Em Down.
Supplementary to its instructive can
vass of tho leading politicians, the rep
resentative .merchants and the state
governors, the Chicago Times-Herald
on Monday printed 1 'iters from seventy
editors cf large daily papers express
ing opinions as to t'lie wisdom of short
ening the presidential campaign in bo-
half of economy, public tranquility and
business prosperity. Out of the num
ber less than six wrote In favor of a
long contest, which Is the more signlll-
cant In view of the fact that journal
ists, as a rule, profit by long and hotly
contested campaigns. Reviewing its
symposium the Times-Herald says:
Not a valid ai Kiiment has be n nlvainvrl
for the long campaign. The plea Hi made
that two or three mouths !s not suffle'wnt
time to orjsfinize. Tho.- who advance this
elu'm say that th's :s a fuel well umler
sttHid by every pmotlcul pol'tlelnn. This
may lie true, nut It :s not umlerstood 1 y
the people, who pay the freight ntul who
have no ri.-sire to le organised by prac
tical polil'clans or blackmailed for ram-
la u-n purposes. There seems to be a pie-
va.i :ig sent ment to me eili-ct tnat.ttie
time !ns arrived when the average Intel
ligence of the community has advanced to
v stare where t- is poms' hie to record the
ver.Vct of 'the people without the aid of
hired pollt'cal organisers. The people
have an Idea that it would be eminently
pr.'i"t'cal lo nanVnuif pres'dintlnl t'ekets
In September, and. titter two months de
liberation, vote for them In November.
And. having made mi their minds on the
question, they are now wa't'ng to see 'f
the majority have any weight ns against
those who make pel t.cs a trade.
The nrinclide on which the short cam-
pa'cn idea Is based 'is in perfect accord
wttn every re-cent progressive n'H'i:onHi re
form. It'nnturallv follows the general
adoption of the Australian-sys'em of bal
loting. When It became possible for the
voter to record h's verdict unwatched by
the h rnl tip' he giver the professional noli
tio'an rece'vel a serious setback. This
gor.'tleman h is watehe-l the steady growth
of civil service reform with ill-eoncenled
r ge, and has spare I no effort to defeat
the enforcement of the law. If lo the
AnstniVm baPot and evil serv.ee rerorm
there be added an unwritten law to the
efTr-t that rnrma!gr he shortened to the
lowest pract'TBl t'mit. the day of the paid
ive'. t.'c'iin Is ended and the rule of the peo
ple assured. On no ouestien of national
pol'ey Involving a radlesl change In pre-
vn I'm ttiFtnoits nas mere ex ste i so
unnni'mons i. sn.Mment as that in favor
cf shorten'ng the period of the presiden
tial canvass.
The position of The Tribune on this
question has already 'been Indloated In
Its columns, and Is summarized In the
elsewhere reprinted letter of its editor
to its Chicago contemporary. From a
business standpoint long campaigns
are a nuisance: and from a political
standpoint they are unnecessary. It
would be a blessing If, In addition to
f hortenlng thf m, we could divide tihem
by two and throw one-half away. This
would give the American intellect
something better to think about than
the scrambles of place-hunters who
too often mask purely selfish ambitions
behind the euphonious fiction of the
public welfare.
We will wager a fall pippin that
Olney has not onWed .John Hull to
quit meddling with American rights
in Venezuela. Olney is not of the or
dering kind.
m
Protection for Womanhood.
The fact that the grand Jury of the
District of Columbia had recommended
the establishment of the whipping post
for wlfe-beaters became public on the
same day that a l!spa'tch from Leba
non, Pa., told how a husband, only a
few months married, had suddenly shot
his young wife because she would no
longer live with him. There Is a men
tal relationship between these two
pieces of news which we lnterprft as
Indicating that if society had of iite
years taken greater pains to punish
and discourage crimes against women,
these recurring Instances of wife or
sweetheart-murder with which the
news columns are filled would be de
cidedly fewer.
While the rule of "minding one's own
business" possemtes sovereign virtue
within rtaln limits, It is a mistake to
suppose that oclety at large Is not con
cerned In the growing tendency of men
to abuse women. The chivalry which
accords to women such perfunctory
courtesies as hat-llft'lng and other sym
bols of deference In public, yet, In pri
vate, makes no effort to protect the
weaker sex from kicks', 'blows, physical
torture and gross abuse is manifestly
inconsistent. Yet It Is not simply In
the 'few cases of extreme brutality that
society is under obligations to take
cognizance of woman's sufferings; It
Is equally In duty bound to protect her
from the Influences that tend to weaken
therospect In which she is held by men.
There Is an obligation resting on hon
est men to proteot womanhood as well
In the theater, where she Is frequently
mimicked as a thing of frailty, or In the
club room, where she too often forms
the theme of risque anecdote or shady
story, as In places where she Is exposed
to the larger, but fewer, perils of open
physical violence. - If thin obligation
were adequately comprehended, the ex
periment of a' whlpplng-post for wife-
beaten would In time fall Into disuse
through lack of subjeots.
Seventeen governors Interviewed toy
the Chicago Tribune advocate the
aecognltton by the United Btatea of tha
Cubans a belligerents. -Mass meeting
in the large cities, notably Chicago,
voice a similar demand. The verdict
of the preVs is substantially unanimous
for federal action in the direction of
helping Cuba. Yet the Cleveland ad
ministration hesitates. "Why? Is it in
different to the wishes of the American
people?
"Storms and Signs" Is the title of a
new monthly publication edited by Pro
fessor C. Coles, the wdl-known Kings
ton astronomer. Th? initial number,
which made its appearance yesterday,
was full of Interesting reading matter,
including the etorm forecast for Octo
ber and other valuable information for
agriculturists and others whose inter
ests are affected by the elements. Proli
ably the most unique feature of the
Journal Is the calendar for October,
which appears on the title page. This
new and original calendar indicates
days of the month, moon changes,
storm periods, planetary periods, and
shows when vital forces are at their
highest flood and lowest ebb. The In
formation contained in "Storms and
Signs" will no doubt make the publi
cation popular everywhere and as Its
field Is unlimited and It is practically
without a competitor, the paper should
prove a financial success.
The Philadelphia 'Bulletin has devised
an Ingt-nlous disposition of Cuba, which
is to annex her to Mexico, let 'Mexico
and Cuba educate themselves, and
then. In the fulness of time, take them
both into the fr.ld of the Stars and
Stripes. The Hulletln forgets that
Spain lstm Cuba's vulture. The elimi
nation of Spanish tyranny from Cuba
is the first consideration. Other prob
lems can be solved when they arise.
Minister Romero rays Mexico would
quickly follow the United States' lead
In recognizing Pile fifiitlng Cubans as
'belligerents, and thinks such action
would help them. Uwt bless you, senor.
helping struggling patriots Is Just
what Cleveland is oppostj to. Even
during our own war he sent a substl
tute.
Spain has denied that Olney gave her
three months In which to walk Spanish.
And thus another hope fades from the
minds of the Amerian people.
Drop a pinch of suspicion on the story
that Harrison's choice is young Robert
Lincoln. '

Majestic Ranges are made of steel
and maleable iron, riveted together,
making them perfectly air-tight, gas
tight and ash-proof. The ovens can
not warp, being riveted to a solid
malable angle iron, both in front and
back, the body of the Range being
riveted to the same.
REMEMBER
This is the only Range in the world
in the hands of the dealer made this
way. For durability, economy of
fuel, quick and perfect baking, the
Majestic Steel Range has no equal.
To this 150,000 of the best houses in
America can testify.
Now on sale and being exhibited
