EDMfXP A. rtARTU of Scranton. Election flay. Nov. S. Success noxt year may depend upon the vote this year. Let no Republican neglect his obvious duty. Republicans of Lackawanna! Do you fully realize that the elec tion Is less than two weeks distant? And do you also realize that If the .present apathy continues on election day. an exceptionally HfTht vote will be polled? And If a llrht vote then a greatly reduced Republican majority In the state, and possibly Republican defeat In close counties may follow. There U Just one way by which the Republican .party, In county ami state, can hold the ground It has gained In re cent years, and that is by making a de termined effort to get out the vote on election day. To accomplish that re quires systematic and continuous work. There Is little In this year's campaign to arouse Interest and enthusiasm, nueh as usually prevails when a pres ident or a governor Is to be chosen. When no such incentive exists to draw the voters to the polls, then there Is urgent and persistent work on the part of those charged with the con duct of the campaign. The seven counties having candidates on the R publican ticket have a special Inter est in getting out a heavy vote. The two most Important and .populous of These counties are Lackawanna and Lu rerne. and It is absolutely Imperative that the Republicans should make a special effort on behalf of the ticket. They have been specially honored and should show ft due appreciation of It. It U only Just to Judges Wlllard and Rice that the Republicans ! Lacka wanna and Luzerne put forth a mighty effort to give them a large majority, and to see to It that their colleagues on the ticket receive similar treatment. When a political party rolls' up such a majority as that of the Republicans In Pennsylvania last year the natural tendency la toward an over-confidence that begets indifference. That condi tion largely exists in this Btate today, and la the only danger that menaces the party In the ensuing election. Un der such circumstances many Repub licans argue that the majority Is so large that piere Is no necessity for aty effort to carry the state, and conse quently they permit any trivial matter to keep them away from the polls. This is all wrong end wherever this sentiment prevails It should be count eracted and If (possible overcome. The Republican .majority in Pennsylvania last year was abnormal In Its propor tions. .We may not expect another euch in many years unless, indeed, lm ilar conditions should txist, which it not at all likely tooccur. The Democrats will make vn unusual effort to get out their party vate.anfd they hope to defeat never! of the Republican candidates for Superior court Judge. The efforts of the opposition will have to be met with earnest, systematic work. From the headquarters of the Democratic Mat committee appeals are quietly Kolng to the local leaders In every county to get out the full party vote without making any noise about It. It Is expected that the Republican vote will "be exceptionally light, and that some of the Democratic candidates for Superior court judge can be elected if 85 per cent, of that forty's vote Is polled. The Democrats are on, a still-hunt, and hope to poll at least 15 per cent, more of their vote, than the 'Repub licans. The way they figure It they can make the vote close enough to elect two or three of the Superior court judges, unless cthelr plans miscarry. It be hooves the' Republican' voters .of the state to see to it that those plans do miscarry! . , If Burke gets Carlisle on his side there may yet be .plenty of fun. ' The oracles have It that the secretary wastes no love on Herring. W take It that every Scrantonlan Is Interested In the success of tho Sheri dan monument project, and that, he will be willing to make some slight sacrifice of time and money In its behalf. The opportunity for this Interest to-be dis played will come tomorrow evening, at iMuelo hall, In the opening of the Phil Sheridan fair. To Attend this fair will be to exper tenet Che enjoyment of a de ItfhUUl social affair j, and to spend money at it will be to aid In the promo tion of a most creditable and worthy cause. Let, patriotic Scranton be pres ent, wJtii all Its husbands, . brothers, wives and sweethearts. It needs to be remembered that Lack awanna county was the first county In the state recognised In the creation of the present Superior court. The Republicans of Lackawanna should not be 'backward In evincing their appre ciation of that high favor. Jingoism in England. Americans, although they differ radi cally from his code of diplomatic ethics, can really have nothing but admiration for "Jingo Joseph" Chamberlain, Eng lanU's new colonial secretary. To be sure, his taotlcs are those of the bully and the freebooter combined; but In re sorting to them ihe simply acquiesces In the demund of his countrymen and is nothing more than a faiJtihful servant, zealously carrying out Instructions. The fault. If morals are disturbed by his apgrtwlons, Iks with the English na tton for wanting him to be Immoral, and with other nations for permW'tinK him to be. His Idea wry properly Is that if England can get the best end of a meu tialtkm by blustering and blowing and making a how f force. It Is England's pla.ee to do these things, and the place of her vpponenits,If they don't like them, to nvake effective objection. Tims. In the territorial dispute wJth Venezuela it s simply in keeping with English tradition and precedent that Mr. Chamberlain, Feeing there was a chance for a row, should take advant age of 'the opiHisltvon's indecision to grab and fortify a rtrip of inviting land never before IncJuJid within the bounds of the wrangle. TOf?e?sIor. !s nine IKir..ts of law; and the enterprising Joseph has expeditiously n.willed him self of them, Uon the principle that If he is not forcibly dislodged, he will be Ju t po much in pocket, while If he Is he will rt ill be as well to do as he was be fore the trouble arose. We si-.iree!y luvd to point out 'Chat ICils lino of rc:t f .-Tj'.ng Is morally low, being In fact not much above the plane of the plokiHVket or tho common thief. The point for pres ent consideration, however, Is that it Is t.-.ent!ally liritlsh and that In n'Jopt Ing It os the vrtal rule of his ottlclal pol icy Mr. Chamberlain .U merely true to his constituents and responsive to their desires. l!y contrasttlng hla bluff and ready policy wltti the Inortla and Indecision long characteristic of the American de partment of stalte. we gain Insight Into the difference which everywhere Is noticeable between the attitudes of for eign governments toward the Ameri can and the Tiritish flags. The one is very naturally regarded with indiffer ence or open Insu't, because other na tions know from experience that H iOar.d fo.r a FMte department continu ally hampered by the nagging of home politicians of opposite part i.an faith. and vacillating in policy In consequence of freiiu-T..; O'.ianses of domeftle adminis tration; whereas, the other Is the un varying emblem of promptness, mergy and even urscrupulousners In the asser tion of real or fancied Ilrit'fh rights, t'ntil the American people demand and exact of their servants In power uni formity and spirit In their conduct of foreign nff iirs, our diplomacy must ever be x Fource of ht m Vatior and rhame. In character and qualifications the two gentlemen on the Republican coun ty ticket are the peers of any candi dates In recent years. They deserve unstinted support. Concerning the Speak Essies. The National Association of Retail Liquor Dealers, which recently assem bled In Washington; the newly-formed Pennsylvania association of saloon men and the local association of li censed liquor dealers have all, with in a few weeks, declared by resolution In favor of the suppression of Illicit saloons, or "speak-iasles." The flrst r.anied body was particularly emphatic in Its denunciation, alleging that the existence of such disreputable resorts not only Is detrimental to morals nnd destructive of 'the public security but also cat'ts an undeserved odium on a legitimate trade. It Is easy for opponents of all sa loons to ridicule these resolutions of the licensed dealers-, but U U doubtful If the Illicit saloon can ever be sup pressed In communities like our own until all elements opposed to their con tinuance unite In a concerted and sus tained attack. We have frequently pointed out the unfairness of taxing ono m.an T500 a year for the privilege of eH1nff liquor at retail, while within a block of his place of business two, three or perhaps a dozen men sell com petitively in freedom from molesta tion, without paying a penny of license tax, .It seems to us that even the pro hibitionists ought to be sensible of the Injustice of such a discrimination; and that 'they ought to say: "Well, so long as the majority perversely enact high llcenre laws, we, os good citizens, will do our best to help enforce and sustain them." . The co-operation of temperance ad vocates and licensed saloon keepers fn a crusade of extermination against the unlicensed places would be no more In congruous than is the co-operation of various discordant elements In New York city against the common enemy and peril, Tammany 'Hall. In the Gotham case, there are many points of difference between the antl-Tam-man yltes, but there l one overshadow ing bond of union hatred of the ways of 'the city's long-arrogant despollers. The case against the "speak-easles" seems to us to be parallel In principle, if not parallel in fact. It Js admitted that the existence of these places Is a public peril, and that It Is utterly un fair on the part of the state to take from licensed dealers a sum of money ostensibly as 'the price of protection, -and then" refuse or neglect to live up to the agreement. Why should there not be a common onslaught upon the llcenseless saloons? WJ advise our iDemocratlc contempo raries) tn Luzerne county to have all the fun they want with Chairman TJomp klns prior to-Nov. 5, because after that date the merriment may be on his aide. No wonder the English people think Arrrerican Journals sensational. When he boom In Kafflr securities broke the other day,urd hundreds of Britons were reduced. In an hour, from affluence to poverty, the 'London, papers made only a brief allusion to the fact In their com mero.'al reports. How such a "story" would have been "featured" had It fal len within the purview of Park Row. The correspondent who. In another column, declares that to return to the State league would 'be to kill the game of base ball In Scranton Is about right. The third city ot Pennsylvania is good enough to (travel In better company than that of the Pennsylvania Base Ball league. ' The Philadelphia Record, whose pro prietor missed being elected governor by a quarter of a million votes, is great ly perturbed because the state appro priations for 1895 for the administrative departments are larger than they were in 1S93. But bices his critical soul, aren't we getting better results? No cVubt there are a few persons In the .Republican party in (Pennsylvania who would like to keep up the recent civil wur; but for the great majority we venture to say that the verdict of Aug. 28 last was In the main decisive. Ambassador Patenatre brings assur nncos from France that the Paris World's fair In the year 1W0 will be the greatest show on earth. Considering Its location, this looks credible. The administration's spasm of Amer icanism comes peculiarly clow to elec tion day. It should be borne in mind that it is the systematic and persistant kind of patriotism which counts. 'Now let some good governor call out t!.e mili'tla against the bone-breaking fporl called foot ball, and American athletics mill soon become approxi mately respectable. The action of the Trunk Lino associa tion of railroads In deciding to charge extra for bicycles looks to the layman u little like ivvengc. IN THE EVENT OF WAB From the Chicago Tlines-Heruld. The statesmanship of Ureat ltiltnln tins not heretofore professed to tuk" the .Mon roe Uoetrtne seriously. Many mouih pleees of average intelligence 'n the islamls have gravely asked what tho Mon roe doctrine Is, uml how we should en force It If It could lie renduced to exact terms, liritlsh publicists have Hooted tho I. lea that the I'nlted States would ever put Into effect mi unwritten law. as If potency miKht not as easily lie given by ). ; ii lit r consent to an unwritten law in t his republic us by common consent po tency Is given to the ltrltlsh constitution liseif. whlen Is wholly unwritten or writ ten, If ut all. so lightly that every suc ceeding parliament may change It ut will. At length Great Britain understands that the people of the I'nlted Slates ure quite in earnest us to the Monroe doc trine. They would not tolerate a whim sical Application of It by any administra tion. They will never consent to sn un just or cvprlelnus or foolhardy resort to Its final expedient. Hut they are resolved that monarchy shall make no further headway on this continent. Vheneer to the fulllllment of thut determination It may lie In.ll.'pensalile to employ force, which can lie only after all other means of persuasion have failed, the American people will stand llrmly behind any federal administration, without regard to parly. In proving that the .Monroe doctrine 13 a living spirit If It be an unwritten law. After years of evasion and trlckerv nreitt Britain Is at last hy admission of her own organs face to face with the fact of the .Monroe doctrine flhe finds It bar ring tho way to further encroachment In Venezuela, and she also realises slowly but avowedly that not only can there be no further Mich of Venezuelan soil but that settlement must lie brought about with Venezuela concerning every mile or tres pass beyond the original boundary of Dutch tiulana on the Venezuelan border. Arbitration of the entire dispute, with only putch (iuiuna ot 1M4 omitted, Is the practical ultimatum sent by President Cleveland to Lord .Salisbury. It Is not a diplomatic ultimatum. Only the congress of the I'nlted StHles Is constitutionally competent to lend that. A practical ulti matum will serve, however, well until Creat Britain shall have time to mnko up her mind whether or not she cares to go furthar and fare worse. It Is Intimated that since the Issue must bo mct;lticw ettlclency of the Monroe doc. trine must ut hot lie teatd In a tangible way, nnd the question settled onre for all whether or not a foreign monarchy may become possensor of new territory on this continent against the will of the I'nlted States, or tight the I'nlted States ns the sole alternative. Orent Britain will not an swer Secretary Olney's recent dispatch until other Kuropeun powers can lie con sulted with a view to organizing a Eu ropean anti-Monroe Doctrine, league But to whom shall Oreat Britain turn for an ally to resist the Monroe doctrln vl et amis? To France? France hns not for gotten Maximilian nnd Mexico, and France hates England more cordially to day than even In the- earlier (lay when Lafayette represented nerhan" trt-l of F.nglnnd more thnn disinterested sympa thy with a revolted dependency, 'iu t r many?

Tho first word would be the loss of Cuba for ever. Instead of being able to organise an nnll-Monroo doctrine European combina tion, flreat Britain had better taku thought lest Itusxla and Franco should Join with the Ijitln Americas nnd the I'nlted f.tates to pinch her possessions In the lower half of the American continent. As for help from her semi-detached colo nies In the tipper portion of the American continent, they would have enough to do looking after their own frontiers, their long railway. Ink and river exposure sivl their tempting harvests should British folly precipitate nn American wsr. PRACTICAL POLITICS. From the Olohe-Bemocrat. Thi re Is nothing more certain than that In politics, ns In everything else, the bent policy Is tho one that appeals to the popu lar sense of strMlghtforwurdntsa In tho as sertion of principles and purposes, and In the management of the various thliiRs that constitute what we call campaigns. It is possible for a party or a politician to gain a temporary advantage by a re sort to duplicity and dishonesty, but that kind of success Is cure in the end to cost more 1han It Is worth. Tho people nro slow to forgive doceptlon or misrepresen tation. It Is not true, as la sometimes said of them, that they like to be fooled, and that when a trick Is played upon hem they regard It as a good Joke. Many a man has spoiled his career by allowing thot grave error to creep Into his philoso phy; and more than once a great party hns been 'beaten by thus mistaking the character of tho average voter. It Is well known, of course, that a po litical contest coresponds In a large de gree to a military campaign. The same order of talent that Is required to plan and win a buttle Is nec essary to carry an election. A party Is like an army In the sense of being dependent for succers upon competent leadership. Tho voters cannot march to victory In a haphazard, way, without sa gacious direction and the careful observ ance of scientific rules and regulations. Thoy must be well organised and disci plined, and every step they take must be according to a definite plan or their strength will be frittered away In useless endeavor, and defeat will he Inevitable. There is strategy In politics as In war, and to neglect legitimate chances of that sort Is the worst kind of foHy. One party has a right to profit by the errors of another; one party nan a right to put another at a disadvantage as often as pouslble. Tha only limitation in that respect la the obll gallon wf Integrity, which dees not forbid tho use of artful tactics to accomplish creditable ends. There is no wrong done so long as tho strategy conforms to recog nized laws, i and precedents; and partus muy properly seize the opportunities that circumstances place within their reach. The Important fact remains, however, that no party and no individual can afford to act upon the theory thut everything Is fair in politics. There can be no excuse for any form of corruption, or for any species of falsehood. It Is not practical polities to uso money for bribing pur poses, or to steal men's votes from thei.i by premeditated deception. No substantial hcncllt was ever derived from su ;'i liec tionttrlmr. Piittini; usd i.ll considera tions of ahstt i-t t.-.onllty. It does not pay to bo dishonest in politics. AH of our great statesmen have been practical poli ticians, but they have not been men whose integrity was sacrificed to achieve eue eey.. They were systematic maneuver ers, but they were not perpetrators of any kind of Iniquity, Their methods wore adroit and yet scrupulous. They never overstepped tho bounds of decency under any stress of fortune or any temptation to avert oefeat by unworthy practices. The men who have fnlled In politics have been mostly of the class noted for bluntness of coiiKvlenco and crookedness of proceed ings. A few of them have prospered lor a time, but they have Invariably fulled as noon as they wero found out. All ex amples, both on the one hand nnd on the other, go to show that nothing Is so prac tical in politics as honesty, nnd nothing Is so unprotltable as fraud and trickery. FALL OF 1395.
