Lackawanna county ought to Rive Judge WIHard 3.000 pluarlity; and if It rnaiJe It 5,000 It would not exceed the demands of propriety. Get out 'the vote and give our 'home candidate a send off! The Test of rtanly Republicanism. At the risk of repetition we again call the attention of the 'Republicans of Lackawanna county to the fact that the -peculiar conditions of the present campaign make doubly necessary the polling by Kif.m, on Tuesday next, of every possible vote, and the bringing Into eam.p, also, of every available con vert. One reason for this necessity imay be cited In the circumstance that both the local and the state Republi can tickets are creditable and deserv ing; the local ticket In that It contains the names of two young men whose success In pri vate life, fairly won by hard and hon est work, ought to toe a convincing guarantee of their fitness for county office; and the state ticket, partly be cause each man on It ihas come through a fierce factional battle bearing, at Its close, the unanimous Indorsement of both factions; but .more erpeelally be cause one of the men on that ticket Is on eminent fellow-resident of this county, a life-long Republican whose bounteous past services to the party have never, until now, come up for substantial recognition, and a Jurist who brings to the bench of which he is, by appointment, a member both the merit of expedient location and the quality of ripened practical knowledge. IRut there Is also another reason a reason (more delicate, perhaps, but not less important; and we shall here speak of It with the utimost candor. It Is no new truth that Lackawanna county Republicans were very -recently vhe actors In one of the most exciting contests of the late factional battle in this state; that they were then, as now, watched closely by the Republicans of the whole commonwealth; and that a falling off In the Republican plurality next week, If not common to all Ihe counties of Pennsylvania, would be In terpreted, by soime mallei. usly, a a consequence of. that regrettable but now Irrevocable division 'of opinion. We wish to say to the Republicans of this county, both to the Quay men of a few weeks ago and to the anti-Quay men In that fight, that It would be ruin ous politics as well as bad party faith and the proof of a mean spirit to carry the honest differences of that fair and frank 'battle Into the present endeavor of re-united Republicanism to square Kself for the presidential contest of tfie ensuing year. The ticket before lis at this time Is a ticket which bears the stamp of approval of both of the re cent factions. It Is a Hastings ticket and It Is a. Quay ticket, tiut chief of all, It Is a Republican ticket, fairly nomi nated and therefore fairly deserving of the united party support. The faith of every principal' In the recent un pleasantness Is solemnly pledged to It; and Us election by a sweeping plural ity would be the fitting token of an honest reconciliation among the rank-and-file as well. Xackaiwanna Republicanism, which has already proved Its ability to fight, should now also prove Its willingness to accept the fortunes of war In a manly spirit and demonstrate, by an old-time victory, that it Is too magnan imous to sulk. The popularity of Dr. Longstreet, Re publican candidate for coroner, is a bad stumlbllng block In the way of his op ponent's desire for re-election. Every Republican should vote for Dr. (Long street. He deserves It. The Value of Railroads. In overruling a verdict of damages agatnst a railroad company and order ing a new trial, Judge Miller, of Mercer county, sitting at New Castle, recently remarked to the jury which brought In (he finding: "There Is a good deal of feeling against railroad corporations. There are a few men who go over the country who seem to have nooccupa- iion Tueiji tawing againsi . corpora . ttons, and they try to make people .Be lieve that the railroads are the most baneful Institutions In the country. mt urould New Caetle. be without railroads? It would be a little way sta tion on the old Erie and Pit tabu rs canal a village of perhaps 00 or GOO inhabitants." This no doubt is true; It certainly is true that much of the current prejudice asalnst railroads originates in Ignor ance of their real value to the commun ity and tends to no good ends. At the cine time It should be borne In mind that If railroads aid in the develop ment of towns along their line the pro cess has a reactionary value to the railroads themselves, which, under prudent and honest management, are thereby made more profitable as in vestments. There are two sides to the question, and Judse Miller appears to have con fined 'his vision to the side represent ing the railroads. A better attitude would be to deal fairly with tooth sides, which, if of tener done in courts of jus tice, -would quickly tend to allay much of the feeling which exists against rail way corporations as a class. A vote for Bartl will be a notification that in America any honest citizen who la qualified may arplr? to public of fice and be welcome If he gets it. For a Short Campaign. The Bcranton board of trade will make no mistake If it promptly repeats the action of the Cleveland, O., board In adopting resolutions favoriw? a short presidential campaign. Upon this point ths business Interests of the country are practlcay unanimous. Long cam paigns no longer are necessary; but If they wero It would be questionable If thev should be worth their cost to the business of the nation a cost which Is monsured In disarranged trade, general distraction from ordinary duties and lowered profits. The adoption of resolutions by Influ ential Tcards or trade urging upon the various national committeemen to vote In favor of a briefer than usual can vass next year is timely and desirable. There la especial need of such action In this state, where both the national committeeman, David Martin, and the foremost Republican leader. Senator Quay, are on record as opposing the shortening of the battle. Mr. Martin declares very positively that a long campaign Is needed to educate the peo ple. This, however, does - not appear to be the Bonse of the p?oplc themselves, If one may Judge by the various expres sions of their opinion which are made by the press of the country. Nine tenths of the leading newspapers, both north and south, favor the Idea of short presidential campaigns. This has al ready been ascertained by a direct can vass; and Inasmuch as the newspapers would themselves profit by a long fight, with Its sustained excitement and Its consequently Incransed demand for news and party literature, It would seem to be a fntr conjecture that the advocacy of short campaigns by the press Is governed by popular sentiment rather than by commercial Interest. In any event, It Is to bo expected that the professional politicians would, un less guided by judgment other than their own, favor a policy which would keep them before the public as much and as long a time as possible. This Is oh the same principle which Influences actors to ,want every town to have a riumber of theaters and every physician to wish for sickness and epidemics. It rests with the merchants and the busi ness men of the country to decide whether or not In the matter of deter mining the length and conditions of the next presidential canvass the profes sional politicians shhll have things their own way. The special .Philadelphia correspond ent of the Harrisburg Patriot predicts t'ha.t tho Republican majority in Penn sylvania next Tuesday will not fall be low 150,000., It certainly will not if every Republican will do his duty. Prove It or Retract. The charge of the chairman of the Maryland Republican committee, Con gressman George L. Wellington, that Senator Quay Is helping Senator Gor man, tflie Democratic leader In Mary land, Is denied by Senator Quay, as Is natural. It will not receive credence until thoroughly supported by proof. This Is the language of Chairman Wellington's accusation: "There Is no doubt about It. We know It to be a fact. Quay is helping Gorman with all his skill and ability. Gorman andl Quay, airhough of different political parties, are known to be closely allied in many matters before congress, and it is perfeotly natural that they should help each other In flgihts like the one go ing on here, and we know that Quay Is now aiding Gorman In every way he can. I Intend to expose the Whole scheme, and s-how Quay up before the country 1n Wis true light, and before his party for Just what be Is. It is our Intention- to let the people know Just what sort of men these two bosses are, and how they work together, the one as a Republican and the other as a Dem ocrat. It will be a part of my duty to show Quay up to the Republicans In his true light, and I shall certainly do It before I am through with -him." It is a matter 'of simple justice to Senator Quay to pay that while there has at various times been opposition to his leadership within the Republican party of Pennsylvania, the charge of party treason has never even been whispered. Senator Quay Is a man whose activity -In public affairs extends over more than a quarter of a century and who has, In that time, Incurred in veterate enmities; yet never once until this moment has he been charged with recreancy to Republican principles or Republican "candidates. If Chairman Wellington, of Maryland, is correctly quoted he ehould prove 'his accusations or be forced to utter an equally public apology. Speaking of the Golden ; Rule, it strikes us that President Cleveland, remembering Lafayette and the French patriots of 1.776, might well ap ply it to the case of Cuba, The recent lurid article by Senator Chandler predicting andl almost In viting an early war with England has elicited from Charles Emory Smith one of the most courteous yet effective re bukes In recent times. Mr. Smith Is second to no man In emphatic, straight forward and conscientious American Ism, -but he 'does not regard the pros pect of war as something to be hailed with volatile applause or entered upon except as a last resort. This Is the dif ference between j'.ngolsts and patriots: the one class likes to talk, and the other clats reserves its energies for the time which detxands firm action. ' Mr. 'Birtl'a fitness for the office of county surveyor elmp-Iy cannot be questioned. A man who, without money cr friends, could through hl3 own inherent industry, perseverance and talent build up the private busi ness whlrh he today cc-nxaiands will be entirely safe when placed m chargs of the surveying Interests of the county. The Wright "still hunt" plan has by no means been abandoned. It Is a con tingency fof which iRcipulblloans t-'nouM everywhere provldo by getting out :helr normal arty vole. This Is es pecially true In Lackawanna county, where the Democratic leaders are en deavoring wt.ii might and main to catch the Republicans napping. It would be a valuable lesson, if some of tho New York merchants who three years njo vcted Cleveland and the Democracy Into office should begin to feel the loescs that are following the abrogation of those Republican reci procity treaties. The report of their murmurings is Republicanism's wel come vindication. The fact that President Cleveland asked the Atlanta exposition people to defer their rpeclal day for t:he glori fication cf Cuban patriotism is In line with his .past conduct. The man who fought for his country by proxy and aimed to -throttle liberty In Hawaii doubtless cares very little about pa triotism in Cuba. The prediction, of Chairman Hackett of the Empire State Republican com mittee is that New York this year is good for GO.000 Republican plurality. If that be true then Pennsylvania ought to be ashamed to come up next Wednesday morning with less than 150,000 plurality. v- It Is charged by the Allentown Chronicle that Chairman Wright, of tho Democratic State committee, Is us ing part of the state campaign funds to run he local fight in Lehigh county. He evidently 'Wants to put his cash where there is a prospect of getting some returns. A semi-official Madrid newspaper no tifies the people tat 'the United States that they had better have a care how they ill-treat Spain, for Spaniards "come of a race In whose veins flows the blood of heroes." It la a pity that most of those heroes are dead. Republicans cannot afford to let the "offness" of the year toe the excuse for unwon Democratic gains. There should -be no "off years" in the calendar of militant .Republicanism. The loyal Republican will not have to be coaxed long to go to the polls. The knowledge that next Tuesday Is election -day ought to be an ample In centive. Senator Quay's ambition doubtless ends at the desire to be president by proxy. QUAY'S TAKII'F VIEWS. From the Philadelphia Bulletin. There can be no question, from the standpoint of Republican doctrlno, con cerning the soununess and wisdom of the propositions which Senator Quay has nun testoit as a basis for tariff and revenue luKlalatlon In the next congress. The Quay pln of amending the tariff so that such industries as woollens and potteries that havo been Jeoparded by Professor Wilson may be paved at once, and ho that 3o,0uu,000 to $10,000,000 may bo added permanently to the revenue. Is based largely on the Idea of making the tariff contributory to the work of Internal Im provement!!. This Is a feature of It which la sura to be popular, and It originates in a practical and common sense view of the situation. It Is -the old Whig doctrine of Henry Clay revived, and there was never a time In the history of tho republlo when it was more applicable to the national needs than It Is today. It contemplates a policy of accumulating an annual Income sufficient not only for the ordinary needs of the Kovernment, but for the beginning, extension or completion of soma of the great undertakings which patriotic and far-sighted men generally agree upon as essential to our future welfare. Senator Quay's suggestions are worthy of the attention of the next congress. If President Cleveland should refuse to sign a bill bared on them, they will make the framework of an acceptable Republican platform In J89f. The protective system must be restored at least to the point of safety for every Industry that the Wilson act has disturbed. More than that. It should be -made tho source of the revenue which the national government must havo to pay off the debts It has contracted un der Cleveland and a support for the great public works which state or prlvato enter prise Is unequal to and which are abso lutely necespary to tho development of the nation. The country Is rlne for such a policy as Mr. Quay has outlined, and It Is good Republican policy through and through. COMMENT OF THE MESS. Our Legal Altitude Toward Spain. Philadelphia Record: "The duty of the government of the United States In so far as It effects the struggle In Cuba Is strictly confined to the enforcement of the laws of the United States which pro hibit the fitting out of armed vessels and the recruiting of men to be employed against a power with which wa are at peace. So long as Spain shall persist In the pretense that a state of war does not exist In Cuba our government cannot even prevent the shipment of arms and am munition by private Individuals to the Island. In times of peace gunpowder and guns are quite an legitimately articles of commerce as bacon and beans. A dlfferJ ent aspect would be given to the ease should the belligerency of the Insurrec tionists be acknowledged by Spain or be come a fact which could no longer be Ig nored. In that event the law of nations would come into piny, and It would thus become the duty of this government, as a neutral power, to prohibit 'the use of Its portt and waters for the renewal and augmentation of military supplies and arms, In accordance with the American contention before the Geneva tribunal. If Spain detirea to enforce upon us the stricter pacific duties of a neutral as be tween recognised belligerents she mint flrt abandon her absurd position that the rebellion in Cuba Is nothing more than a riot." . :o: R -buklns cnntor Chandler. Philadelphia Press: "Let Senator Chand ler end his esroclates declare In the most emphatic terms that we of the United States shall maintain and defend all our rights, come what may; that we shall uphold the Mor.-oe doctrine In Its broad and full Import; that we shalll assert and enforce ejl the prerogatives that legiti mately go with our undisputed primacy on the American continent; that we shall permit no European power to extend Its sovereignty In this hemlfphere or to men ace the Independence and Integrity of an American state. Let them make the af firmation of our obligations and rights as strong and vigorous as they please. Di plomacy does not speak the word of war till every demand has been defied, and senators are not to sound the tocsin while the lisues are open for discussion. It Is for us to assert and maintain our right with firmness and resolution: It Is for England to take the responsibility and In cur the consequences of disregarding them.". " ' :es .
