Election 1ny. Nov. S.
By a rouslnp majority tho pvpl(? of
Lackawanna county will next month
reaffirm their belief In the eminent fit
ness of K. N. Willar.l for tho Superior
court bench: anil alons with that, they
will vote for his five Republican con
freres. Get Out the Vote.
Folltlrlans, ns n rule, flmro the fall
ing off In the vote of the mnjrlty party
on "off jvnrs" at from 20 to to per
cent. With a state ticket which In
cludes the name1 of an eminent and tle-ervoJlj-
popular resident of Lacka
wanna county, Jii'lfre Wlllard: a county
ticket composed of men of established
character and ability; and with a presl
Oential contest so near that any pres
ent loss of party advantage nli'ht then
prove einbari asslne. If not (llsistrntts. It
would seem that there ought M be good
reasons for expectine the full I!"publl
can vote to be pulled next month.
To vote In time of national excitement
Involve little heroism and deserves
f rr:ll If any credft. It Is th" "off year"
vnt? which affords a test of party loyal
ty and supplies tho true key to party
Interest. For well-known reasons, the
eye of the state Is upon Lackawanna
county In tills campaign. The Republi
cans of other parts of tho common
wealth are watching the manner In
which Lackawanna Republicans har
monize after their recent dometitie dif
ference and rally to the support of '.he
diatlneulsheil gentleman who repre
sents their county upon the bench of
th new Superior court. Shall this
scrutiny discover symptoms of luke
warmness and Indifference, or shall It
see an united party In vigorous condi
tion, both for 'the battle which ends
N'ov. 5 and for the larjrer battle of the
coming year, which will decide the elec
t:n rf a congress and a president?
Yi desire to repeat what was briefly
said yesterday that the Republicans
of this county especially, and members
nf other political parties In perhaps a
smaller degree, owe to Judgo Wlllard
thi compliment of a large and enthusi
astic support. He was their unanimous
choice when the Judges of "the Superior
court vrere llrst appointed; he re
mained their choice when a factional
controversy dlvWed their opinions on
other Issues; and now that he bears the
Indorsement of the Republicans of the
whole state, his friends and nelghlmrs
should extend to him the final courtesy
of an overwhelming home plurality.
Get cut the vote.
In tbe flections of last autumn tb
Republicans of Pennsylvania gave a
hint of -what they thought concerning
Democratic Incapacity as revealed at
Washington during this administra
tion. Two weeks from today they will
go to the polls and renew that remark
with, let-us hope, Increased emphasis.
Fiction for the Masses.
The Kipling story which will be print
ed complete In next Saturday's Tribune
Is one of this master novelist's best
efforts and his admirers do not need to
be told what that means. The appear
ance of such a story In a dally news
paper -would, several years ago, have
occasioned almost universal surprise.
Apart from the cost of securing 1he
manuscript from an author of Kipling's
reputation for Kipling charges at tho
rate of 33 1-3 cents a word for his short
stories and Is not anxious to sell them
even at that almost fabulous price the
experiment of publishing really high
class literature In the dally newspapers
Is comparatively a recent one, entered
upon, at the beginning, with many m4s
glvlngs. There was a time, and that not long
ago, -when it was regarded 'by leading
authors as "undignified' to be repre
sented In the' columns of ephemeral
prints like . he newspapers. Their
productions were reserved for the
more "respectable" magazines, where
the lack of nurrfbers in the au
dience was supposed to be counterbal
anced by Its higher quality. But tho
popularisation of the daily press has
Ince changed all fhat;'and it today
gives to the millions what was wont to'
be confined to the tens. It will be re
membered by constant readers of The
Tribune that In these columns, during
the past year, have appeared some -or
the verr best literature f the period;'
written by men whose naues will live
in history alongside those of, Sir Walter
Scott, Lord Lytton, Thackeray and
Dickens. And the field thus entered
will soon be explored with even larger
and better results.
Wo take pleasure In announcing tha
appearance, beginning early next
month, of a new series of stories bet
ter than any yet printed. Consider tho
names of the authors to be represented,
and be convinced. Among them are:
A. Conan Doyle, Jerome K. Jerome,
Kudyard Kipling, George R. Sims, Ku
gene Field, Opie Read, Kllzabeth Stuart
Phelps-Ward, Grant Allen, Anthony
Hope, Stanley J. Weyman, John
Strange Winter, J. SI. Harrie, Florence
Oiarryat, S. Haring Gould, ilownrd
Fielding nd several others equally as
prominent. Tho first of these short
serials will be printed within a fort
night. Our esteemed contemporary, tho Free
rrcs, must be mls'tnken when it pre
dicts that may be Burke's petard will
yet tring down both Herring and Col
quitt. We might be able to .worry
along without our Herring; but what
would 'this great government do with
out its Culiiuitt?
Do We Need More Land?
Chicago's Villon League club was re
cently the forum of an interesl'ing und
Instructive debate coiicct'iiins tho ques
tion, "Shall the policy of the L'nlted
Stutus'bv to extend Us dominion?" The
ability of the speakers equaled tho lm
pontince of the theme, und made way
for national attention. The first (speak
er was zel F. Halcli; ntul the t'sscnee
of ills argument Is contained in the fol
lowing excerpt:
Not evciy extension of territory Is wise
any more than II prudent to buy every
thing in sight wliiiuiil respect lo our ne
cessities or prom, llirt consider. It you
please, the coiniiMiidini,- and iinim cuaolc
position of the Tinted States if our ilo
laiiiion eouiil extend from the Gulf of
Mexico lo the ureliii si :is, thus sweeping
from the Noiih Ameii.an continent the
lii-l vesiifc-v .i liri:r!i rule. What the
Aituriean p.v.pie need udny is a market.
No: ii market sustained ! restricted pro
duction. Not a m:t;'ltet upheld by c.ini
Pinations and IniMs. Not a market
which Is a Mice sieii of gluts and faialm s,
hut a broad, steady, universal market--the
mark-'.; of the world. If our people
i:re to be employed we must lurni'li a
place to sell the good which they produce.
If we are lo have u foreign market ade
quate to our needs we m i-t h.iw i great
foreign commerce, and that commerce
must be protected. The rights of the Amer
ican eltiieti abroad must be pro'ect-.' 1.
He must not only be secure, but lie nrist
led secure, that however n mote his sit
UMtloti and however humble his lot his cry
will tie beard In every case of tu-gi vsslou
til.-1 wrong and the who!- power of the na
tion will silo port him In his rights. The
nam" of Kng'm l is to many Ann ri can
politicians a byword to eure by and a
party cry to arouse the Ignorant vote, l.nt
her policy tins been to extend nnd protct
at any cost her foreign tra le. Iter policy
has made her capital the treasury of the
iv ,l. 11,-r flag Is re;;pii'ted on every sen
and the ri-rhts of her citizens protect el In
every land. We have borrowed from her
our language, our law. our Instito'lion
Hn l our habits of life. M iv we n o nl-o
.-.irn i,.iin froiM her business method
and her foreign policy?
The next spealtcr was Mr. Kdtvard D.
Cooke. After showing how the down
fall of neatly every nation of antiquity
colli be traced to the craze for terri
torial acquisition, he said:
It seems altogether wisp ami Justifiable
for -the 1'tiit d Stat-s to u-'qutre such isl
ands und such leriit.ry as may be direct
ly neci-s-ary or available for its defense in
linm of war or directly useful lo Its citi
zen. under a wie, economic policy; but
bevunit such 'limits It should not go In ac
quiring dominion. Tin- hunger for terrl
t jiiiil .iin k.-iinirii a colossal crime wti-n
it brings together masses of people who.
through ill'f -rencej of race, language,
religion arc) luous of civilization, cannot
live tug. t her as a happy, contented ard
well-governed nation. .Should it be our
oollcv to go for'.v-ii l now, In particular,
to s?ek and acquire new possessions in
i -i.ia-ui. At xicii. i'ltua or Hawaii'' A- to
.Mexico. I should, in my humble Jli l.rmcnt,
answer no. The pen; of Mexico and
Central America are not of our race,
habits, history, customs or legal tradi
tion". They are indo-Hnanlards. foreign
to our sys'i m of civilization; are not fitted
1 nsalmllnt" wjth our people, and should
mt b.t taken Into the American union.
As -to t'nnadti. I should also answer no.
Wltnt lo we want cf Canada? Is a perti
nent qiiistlou. What dors Canada want
of us that rhe cannot aequlro for hcr-ief
In her own way and In her own i;ood
tlni"? If she wishes iiti Independent, re.
publican form of government, let her os
suni" it whenever she Is ready to do so;
nnd In tlmt we would wish her God eeed.
She will be our neighbor nnd our friend,
either In apron strlnrs or running alone
whtijiever course she may ehooo to
adopt. As to the morn rllstant lands, tho
Mand of Hawaii nnd Cuba, or other
Islands of the sen, circumstances should
largely determine whether we shall ever
Hoqulm them or a protectorate over them.
Th' character of their population seems a
gnat drawback to our acquirement of
them. If ut should their peopl" strongly
de-lre to come under the protee'lon of
the l'nlted .Stales, or to be admitted ns
territories of tb l'nlted S'ates. and tho
way be honorably and practically opened
therefor, they are so limited In area that
our power nnd strength are, perhnns,
nmply sufficient to shield them or admit
them, without iletrlment to our own peo
ple or to theirs.
Somewhat different Is the belief ex
pressed by Harry Rubens, who said:
Will anybody at this day dispute that
the accession of Canada would not be of
the highest benefit ifo the l'nlted States?
Its population Is to an overwhelming do.
greo composed of pfioplo of our blood, of
our religion, of our customs, trained In inn
arts of husbandry and of manufacturing,
skilled In commerci) and trado and naviga
tion, ' accustomed to self-government,
peaceable, biw-nbldlng nnd enjoying even
to a higher degree than our own the bless,
lncs of civil reform and of nn Impartial
and swift execution of the laws of the
land. As there can be no annexation of
Cnnnda except with tho consent of lis
people, the problem Is rendered dllllcult
beenuse of the political wisdom of the
ltrltlsh government. Itut difficult nnd In
the far dls-tnnce a the solution of tho
problem of Canadian annexation mav ap
pear, the day will come when the Stars
and S-trlpcs shall float from every house
ton of the Cnnndlnn dominion.
iStlll more Improbable nnd far removed,
and io mnny undesirable, will the acces
sion of Mexico ntmejir at the present
time. And ye, as Illustrious a slntosmin
asl Lucas Alnmnn In his great work on tho
history of the Mexican republic speaks of
bis country ns "A land of prosperity, but
10 will not h for the races who now In
habit It," nnd prophetically points lo ",m
otber race" ns destined to supplant It.
Will not nnd should not Mexico share Ih"
f.ito of the K'orldas. of I.ouMann, of
Texas and of Cnllfnrnln, nnd will not he,
who now shakes his bead In dissent. In
yours to come prove to have been s much
mistaken ns Daniel Webs-tor nnd Thomas
Jeferson were with reference to th Innd
kissed by the blue waves of tho Pacific
ocean?
A problem of annexation much mn'-e
pressing upon tho attention of pntrlo'lc
Americans relates to the pnrl of the An
IIMrw the Island of Culm. I do not tinder
rate the difficulties, diplomatic nnd other
wise, which still have to be overcome be
fore the Stars and Strips will float on the
public bnlldlntrs of Havana, nor do I un
derrate tho difficulties, perhaps still great
er, of donllnir with the new member o' our
political family nfter Its admission. Hut a
people which conceived and carried out
tbe nroblem of American Independence,
which devised our constitution, which sun
dressed rebellion snd managed the proh.
lem of reconstruction, which enlarged Us
original territory by almost three mlll
lon of square miles In less thnn a hun
dred yours and successfully nmnlimmnteri
with It large populations of Spanish nnd
Vrench and Indian origin, which built he
Pnelfle. railroad nnfl Invented the cotton
rln. and the electric telegranh and tbe
telephone, and, last btst not least, con
ceived and carried out th" miracle of the
world's fair at Chlcsiro, will rot fall In the
eol'iHon of the problem how to deal wit
nnfl make contented a million and a half
of Cubans.
. . The final speaker, Congressman (Ma
son, resembled certain '' contemporary
operas In that the gem of his address
lay In the overture. In that ho said:
' I am opposed to the extension of our
dominion, tsieclully at the present time,
and until we can show better ability to
govern our present dominion. In one of
tho glorious states of the Union a minor
ity of Its citizens arc In constitutional
convention trying to devise gorne legal
way to disfranchise a majority of its citi
zens because they are lila-ek. Our gov
ernment at Washington is being run by
gentlemen so busy worshiping at the
hrlne of Izttnk Wulttm that they have
not time to maintain tlio settled doctrines
of the nation or prevent or stay the vast
increasing ilefloloncy in our puhllo. treas
ury. The iloctrlno of reciprocity, com
ing from the genius of lllulnc, the great
ct of AnieriCHti statesmen, ban been torn
from the stntute books by tho hands of
Ignorance nml prejudice. We have vio
lated every treaty entered into by our
government with the nations of the v.'or' 1
from Germany to Ci.lia leaving the ex
ecutive ollicer of tile governmert with
out power of commercial retaliation, even
if he he. I the nerve to Indulge In It. Wo
have been passing laws to tdlmnlate In
dustries in other countries nnd enforce
Idiom 's here. The credit cf the govern
mert Is at the mercy of a syndicate of
American nml foreign hankers, and In the
hour of peace nnd plenty 1'ncle Sim
stands on tlio street corner llko a mendi
cant seeklnir to borrow the price of a sup
per and n niirht'a lodging. It will lie time
enough to la Mi about rentirtir a larar-r
bouse when wo are able to sweep, garnish
and pay rent for the hoii"? we now occupy.
Itut Inasmuch ns we have been able to
sweep nn, RnrpNh several nf our rooms,
notably l'llnols, Iowa and Ohio, nud sin
cerely believing we can dean out the
kiticien. illnlmr room and parlor In the
Dbtrict of Columbia a year from now. It
may be well to discuss some of ihe sug
gestions as ii brsli for future actions.
Although of these four educated
speakers no two nsinnnod precisely the
same attitude, there li a fortunate mu
tuality of opinion with reference to cer
tain salient facts. It Is, for example,
ngreed thai the mere passion of Ititul
grabblng Iw beneath us; that the ac
quisition of 'new soil must be dictated
by broad considerations of public bene
fit. It . Is likewise conceded that the
dignity of American citizenship Is
worth maintaining, at any hazard, that
pusillanimity in di lonuicy has shamed
us long enough. Willi these facts fear
lessly cnipluislze.l. and vltnlly In
wrought Into tho texture of mir laws,
It will relative iy matter little how many
square miles of domain figure In the
returns of tho American census-taker.
The "calling oil" of the threatened
Cotliett-FUz.s'inimoiis ptlze tight is a
striking testimonial to one oillclal's
strong b:t ek'.ume. The Ami t lc.in pub
lic, lifts its hat to Governor Culberson,
of Texas.
A. II. Lewis, an observant Washington

Senator Prion tells Wllllntn V,. Curtis,
the ChPngo Itecord enrrcp I lent, that
ho wrote over Z' lettsrs to m. constitu
ents In Ohio during the three months pre.
vlous to the recent Democratic conven
tion In Ihe state. !t fore he wrote Hits
correspondence the Democracy was al
most unanimous concerning frei coinage.
Wh'-n the convention met Giree-fourihs
of the delegates were opposed to that
proposition. It was a personal cam
paign. Instead of using printed nigu
mcnts und making speeches he appealed
directly to men of Inl'ii-m e nnd Intelli
gence in every school district In Ihe state
by personal let ters -over his own signa
tureand si t them at work to correct the
views of their nelkhiiors. "It Is not prob
able." savs Mr. Curtis, "that a more trior,
ough cnmpnlKii was ever made In the
l'nlted States or public opinion reversed
In a more radii ul manner."
M II II
For some reason or another Senator
Quay has arranged with H ptess-ellppltig
ncenoy In New York to search the files
of the new.spfipers r.nd make series of
sornp-books containing nil the mftan
things that have ever been publphed
nboiit hlni. They are to go back as far as
they can and mnk" the collet tbn as com

of this singular fancy. The collection is
not likely to be a small one.

COMMENT OFTHK PRESS.
Ihe IsHiie in New York.
New York bivenlng Post: "What Is
'Rooevf hlsm' In fuel? Simply this: Hero
are excise lavs wMrh forbid the sale of
liquor on Hnnds-y. Those laws were pnsserl
by a Tammany legislature and signed by
a Tammany governor, They lind been used
as a basis for blackmail on the liquor
trade, and that blackmail had d -moralized
uttfiy the police force of the city. The
police hoard was put In office to reform
tho police force and to onfarco the laws.
Any nforru of tthe force was Impossible so
loivg as lilac km.illlt'g was allowed. There
could be no discipline maintained over
men who got more money by allowing thn
laws to b violated than thry received In
salaries from the city. The only way to
stop bluckmnlPng was to enforce the law
honestly nnd fearlessly, as the memb-rs
of the police board wore bound by their
official oaths to do."
Stnnd t'r for Principle.
Chicago Times-Herald: "It has always
been supposed that the Republican party
stood for law and order. The audacious
effrontery of certain party leaders In va
rious states who are trying to -trim the
party sails to lit every fluttering local
breeze, -regardless of the time-honored
traditions nnd principles of tho party,
need to be speedily suppressed or the peo
ple will soon 'be disabused of the Idea that
the party of IJncoln Is still the repository
of the moral stamina of the country."
Campaign Money Often WnstcJ.
Chicago Times-Herald: "As for cam
paign 'literature.' no swindle Is mora pal
pable than -the subsidies paid to obscure
and Impecunious Journals for professed
service during a canvass. It may serious
ly be doubted that a dollar thus Invested
has ever brought any actual -eturn In bal
lots. Newspapers that the lota electorate
care loo little for to support vhem are not
of sufficient weight In any community or
I
in any part of the country to Justify
throwing away party funds no their un
read columns."
Senator nnd Governor.
Philadelphia Times: "Thero is every
reason to believe that there are v.o irre
concilable differences between Governor
Hastings and Senator Quay. Tiielr po
litical lines run In different directions, und
both need end certainly desire the cordial
support of the whole party, ltetween
them there could be unity with entire con
sistency, and it Is in -the air that should
another factional conflict be forced by tho
lobby Interest:! of the state which Eei.k
tho control of tho Republican party, tho
Kovemor would wisely saand aside aiid let
the mere f.u tlonists ibiht out their battle
to their hearts' content. "

Great Reorganization Sale.
HAT WE nEAN by this is that we must realize both room and money, notwith
ft J standing that Carpets cost more to make today than they did three months ago,
l on account of the increased cost of the raw material and labor. We will sell
them for the next thirty days cheaper than ever before. Visit all fake andso ad
vertised bargain sales, but don't buy until you see our stock and get our prices.
The room we must have, because on or about Oct. 25th we convert a great por
tion of our Carpet Floor to the display of Holiday Goods. We have made the
prices and those who want the Carpets will make the room.

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
