SCRANTON. NOVEMBKB 13, 1895.
ingrate Joe is a fine fellow, torsooth,
to talk about party treachery! Has
he forgotten how four years ago he
tried to trade oft the three Welsh can
dldates on the Republican county
ticket, and how he succeeded In heat
ing one of them? Even now, the
chances are ho Is plotting to play one
of his tricks on Thomas P. Davles.
At the Head of the List.
Terhaps the most significant fact in
connection with the official returns of
the recent state election is the surpris
ing prominence attained by Lackawan
ya county among the strongly Repub
llcan counties of the commonwealth
When It is remembered that only a few
years ago Lackawanna was regarded
hy the politicians of the state as really
a Democratic county, by a plurality
ranging between 500 and 1000-whlch
was overcome as a rule only on congres
slonal years, and then by methods
Tvhlch gave the county and municipal
offices to the Democracy the casting of
a plurality of 4440 for Haywood, being
nearly 34 per cent, of the total vote
polled, must be regarded, In view of all
the circumstances, as a highly natter
ing fact. This result was achieved des
pite the efforts of a disgruntled coterie
in the party to keep the normal party
strength from being polled, so as to re
duce the allotment of delegates in cer
tain wards in the coming municipal
convention; and It therefore may be
Bald to reveal, among other things, the
Impotence of the professional malcon
tents whenever the party forces ar
fairly called into the field.
A few comparisons are naturally sug
gested by this vote. In only six coun
ties this year was the Republican plur
ality in excess of 4000. In Phlladelphlp
It was 47 per cent of the vote cast a
gain of 13 per cent, as compared With
the vote for' Jackson and Osburn In
1893; in Allegheny, It was in round num
bers 60 per cent., a gain of 12 per cent.;
In Lancaster; C2 per cent., a gain of 9
per cent.; in Delaware, 52' per cent., a
gain of 13 per cent., and In Bradford, 60
per cent., a gain of 20 per cent. But in
Lackawanna this year the percentage
of the Republican plurality compared
with the vote cast is 33 greater than In
1893, making a larger gain than any
other of the large counties of the state.
In this sense, therefore, Lackawanna
may fairly claim the primacy among
the Republican counties of the common
wealthan achievement which certain
ly speaks well for the leadership under
Which It has been effected. When wc
remember the bitterness of the recent
factional fight In this county and recall
the dire predictions then uttered of
coming disaster this magnificent show
ing gains new luster and literally
leaves the kickers without sn inch of
fact upon which to base a, revolt
Anyone who is Interested In the con
tinued supremacy of the Republican
party In Lackawanna county will there
fore know from these fltrures that the
so-called "Connelt rlnor." if it has done
nothing else, has at least put the party
on a solid foundation, for the first time
In the county's history.
, The citlsens of Chicago have at last
decided to try conclusions with the cit
lsens of Pittsburg in the matter of
competing for the privilege of enter
taining the next Republican national
convention. The advantage of this cir
cumstance, to the party at large, lies
In the fact that it insures adequate
facilities, whichever city wins.
Senator Lodge's Interview.
The Interview with Senator Lodge re
cently published In the London Chron
Icle and now the subject of general and
even heated discussion In England, Is
a fair statement of the controlling spirit
of the Monroe doctrine, as patriotic
Americans understand It. "Nobody in
America," ho says, "ever pretended
that the Monroe doctrine Is a proposl
tlon of International law. It Is s declar
atlon of policy, and one which people in
America have always sustained, and in
tny opinion always will sustain as of
vital Importance to the people of the
United States. Its bearing upon the
subject matter of the Venesuelan dis
pute Is very simple. Each country is
entitled to what Its predecessor held
and no more, for no new rights have
been acquired In the interval by either
people. The question Is, wbat was the
true boundary between the Dutch and
Spanish possessions. . That question
can properly bs -settled by arbitration.
To refuse arbitration and to seise and
hold by fores disputed territory .would
open the doors,. If England pursued
such a course, to any other European
power that desired to acquire any ad
ditional territory In Central or South
ern America. It would fatally Infringe
on the Monroe doctrine, . The people of
the United States could not regard it as
otherwise than' movement, hostile to
t s.- .i
them. , T
"The Monroe doctrine, It should be
remembered. Is quite distinct from any.
question of reparation for' Injuries re
ceived by the subjects of foreign powers
at the hands of the governments or po
pto of Central or South America repub.
..... 7;rv-
lies. 'With such Questions we have noth
ing to do. but we cannot permit, under
cover of a demand for reparation or lit
anv other way. new territory to te ac
quired by any European power. Thus
far the Monroe doctrine has remained
mere statement found only in Presi
dent Monroe's message, but it Is my be
lief that in the next congress uom
kminA and enate will, by formal, reso
lution, declare it to be an integral part
of the policy of the United States to oe
maintained at all hasards. American
opinion is practically unanimous as to
the absolute necessity of upholding the
doctrine for the welfare of the coun
try. Moreover, I believe that Europe
recognises our attitude as reasonaDie
a rnnr" Concerning tniu i
sentence there Is probably some differ
ence of opinion. Perhaps of continental
Europe the remark may be true, Inas
much as continental Europe, upon the
whole. Is too busy paying war taxes to
have much time for attempting land
steals on the South American conti
nent. ti t vncrlnnd it is not true. n.ng-

1 A Comparison.
We welcome Mr. Scranton's newest
in trvlnr to excuse his Jacuni
treachery to Mr. Connell, his benefac
tor in the past two congressional cam
paigns, by arguing that the latter's
earlier opposition cancelled all claims
between them. It Is to be said of Wil
liam Connell that he has throughout his
career in politics been tho honest friend
and the open foe. Never has he crawled
on his knees before an opponent, in
order to get an opportunity to dart up
and stab him In the back. Never has
he solicited political alms from an an
tagonist and spent the proceeds In
traducing his helper.
For more than a quarter of a century
Mr. Scranton has fed at the crlD or
official emolument, and given but scant
equivalent In the way of public ser
vice. More than that; he has. by the
nf hla newspaper as a club, brow
beaten and bullied candidates for minor
offices into purchasing his favor, some
times asking political work as ms price
and at other times borrowing casn
which was never repaid, until his gains
from this source probably aggregated
into the thousands. The period of his
supremacy as a Republican leader was
tho period of shameful private deals
with tho Democracy; of unblushing
brigandage In the distribution of politi
cal honors and of unconscionable
treachery when treachery served the
Ingrate's purposes. During his rule
Renublieanlsm meant simply the fill
ing of Joe Scranton's private pocket;
and it is due to his own profligacy
rather than to any lack of income in the
past that he, too, has not "amassed a
private fortune."
Under Scranton's domination, Repub
licanism in Lackawanna was scarcely
known throughout the state, except
as a thing of trade and dicker. To-day,
with Scranton stripped of his power
for mischief, it ranks as the fifth Re
publican county in the commonwealth;
and In proportion to population is reai
ly nearer the top than that. The people
today have fair politics and no black
mall. They have an open field and no
nrtvate Brlce of admission. That they
appreciate the change is shown by the
election returns.

The Downfall of Comic Opera.
Admirers of pure forms of popular
amusement will share Mr. W. J. Hend
erson's lament, so well expressed by
him in the November number of that
charming new magazine, The Looker-
0n, at the recent and rapid decadence
of operetta in this country. An ex
ample of this decadence was exhibited
In this city last week when Delia Fox,
an amiable comedienne who. by no
stretch of the Imagination could be
called a singer, appeared with Mr. Jef
ferson de Angelis, also devoid of vocal
aptitude, and a number of other bad
or Indifferent singers In a muslcless
burlesque the main redemption of
which was Its picturesque costumes,
pretty scenery and the acrobatic ab
surdities ot the two comedians. That
this nondescript patchwork of vaude
vllle and spectacle gave a degree of
pleasure to ears careless of music anl
indifferent to true humor Is not to be
denied; but that It has any elements of
recommendation to the Judicious may
be flatly denied, a fact perhaps equally
true of most of the "stuff" which com.
mercially alert managers purvey these
data because they assert that It Is the
only form of operatlo entertainment
win pays expenses.
j Bui Mr. Henderson, with a lifetime's
experts nc in matters managerial as
well as critical, boldly challenges this
financial argument "It Is," says he.
an undeniable fact that there are more

Smith and De Koven's '"Robin Hood

lesson, but it did not. It ought to
have shown them that refinement, plc
turesqUeness, and pure melody were
better qualities than horse-play, cheap
gags, exhibitions of the female lorm.
and music-hall ditties; but it did not.
Mr. Henderson can find no excuse for
tho recent resort to lyric doggerel and
clap trap. "The managers anu .nit
of the librettists and composers, too
have a theory," he remarks, that u
Is possible to write works that are too
cood for the public, and that it is nec
essary to write down to the comprehen

there are not three managers in the
comic-opera business in this country
today whose Intelligence and taste are
up to tho level of those of tho general
public."

downright Idiocy of the great majority
of the varlety-hall concoctions which,
with the addition of gaudy costumep,
alluring scenic effects, displayed fe
male forms and wretched singing, are
served up on tho contemporary stage
under the false representation that they
are comic operas, are quite sufficient to
cause any lover of real music to wish,
with the writer whom we have just
quoted, for the appearance of bettor
standards. But we are not ready to
say, with him. that artistic merit Is yet
able to compote from the box-office
standpoint, with tawdry and vulgar
pretence. It remains a truth, though
Barnum be dead, that the American
people love to be humbugged, and until
they get over that predilection, art will
necessarily have to be content with a
back seat.

HOW ENGLAND ACTS.
In Havana there was one evening a
great row In the stretts and a man was
kllied. Every one ran away except nn
tinirlishman. who Old not gee why ho
should run off but stopped to do what he
could for the wounded man. The city
was then, aa It often whs, under martial
law and in a few minutes a party of sol
diers came up and walked the Kngllsh
man off. He was tried then and there by
a sort of drum-head court-nmrtlnl and
rondemned to be shot tho next morning at
8 o'clock.
He managed to get the news conveyed
to the Knullsh consul and at 7.45 o'clock
next morning the consul appeared In his
eoach-and-four. uniform, rocked hut and
sword, alt his orders on, etc. The shoot
ing party were drawn out and the prisoner
was there, too. The consul walke:l up to
the ofllcer commanding the party and de
manded the llfo of his countryman.
"Very sorry," said the olllcei-, but I
must carry out my orders." And he
showed the warrant signed by the gover-
""Well," said the corsul. "at least you
will allow mo to siiuke hands with him be
fore ho dies?" ,
"I can't refuse that," wan the reply.
On which the consul stepped up to the
Englishman, put his hand Into his brearrt
coat pocket, drew out a union Jock, un
folded it, threw It over the man and then
said: "There, now, tire If you dare! The
llentcnnnt was staggered, tho matter was
referred to tho governor and the Engusa
inan was saved.
THAT WAS TOO MUCH.
Chicago News: "Tho strongest man on

gled enormous dumb-bells. He hung sus
pended from the Komnn column nnd he
promenaded around with an Iron bar on
his shoulder and a super clinging to each
end of the bar. At lust, flushed, perspir
ing and happy, he came to the front and
said :
"Ladles and gentlemen: With your kind
attention I will now attempt one of the
most tremendona feats of strength ever
seen on any stage! 1 will twist, break
and shutter between my lingers any coin
which you may hand to me! Will any
gentleman throw a coin unon the stage?"
l.'p camo a few nickels and the strong
man rent them In two by marvelous twists
of the sinewy fingers. The crowd cheered
Itself honrse and the strong man bowed
awkwardly. Then he spoke again:
"Any more coins to bo broken?"
A large man In a brown ulster got up In
the back of the house.
"Excuse me, Mr. Hercules," said he,
"but can you break a lo-blll?"
And the strong man left the stage with
a bitter groan,
Precocity.
"Miranda," said Mr. Proudpaugh, "we

"Yes, Indeed," was the reply.
"I want him to have a chance to learn
things In a practical way. as well as from
books."
"Do you,-dear?"
"Of course. I mean that he shall travel,
so as to get a clear iaea ot wnat ne reuns
about; that he shall, by personal contact,
acquire knowledge that Is too commonly
and contidently assumed to bo communi
