SCRANTON. NOVEMBER 20. 1895.
I i ' "
Once upon a time the lato Reese T.
Evans was a candidate for city treas
urer. About two weeks before the elec
tion ho received an exceedingly polite
letter from the Ingrate, asking him
for the loan of $300. The money was
duly forwarded.' Tears afterward tho
Ingrate was called upon to Bettle up.
What was his reply? "The goods were
delivered and that bill Is paid!" . .
Don't Get Alarmed.
The fact that the congressman from
this district, although elected as a Re
publican by Republicans, has seen fit
to copy tlie Mugwump custom of es
pousing a certain municipal ticket
through his newspaper in. advance of.
the convention, thus opening the way to
a bolt In case the convention does not
accept his dictation, seems to give some
of our esteemed state contemporaries
undue concern. They are naturally sur
prised at It, because they don't know
the Ingrate as he is known here at
home; and they fear that it may result
In the loss of next spring's municipal
election to the Republican party.
For their benefit we would therefore
say that this appearance of danger Is
only an appearance. . There is nothing
substantial behind it. The recent elec
tion returns In this county have con
clusively proved that the Republican
party is never In quite so good a shape
for victory as when Ingrate Joe and his
Btaff of assistant kickers are secretly
busy trying to cut the party's throat
This was shown, for one time, on Nov.
6. and it was shown with even greater
force, in the recent election of state
delegates from Lackawanna, when the
verdict rendered was not so much an
anti-Quay one as it was one adverse to
Joe Scrantonlsm a,nd the treacherous
and reptilian tactics which that term
represents.
It is possible, of course indeed,
It Is probable that the Ingrate and
his retinue will bolt the next municipal
convention. That seems to be what
they are figuring on. But in that case
the Republican party will simply need
to be congratulated upon Its good rid
dance. It will be all the better for It
The Democratic Philadelphia Record
Is sad because of its discovery that the
"quarrels" of the "Republican- factions
In Lackawanna county do not appear
to affect the party strength." . The
Record might experience a different
mood If Ingrate Joe had any further
fower for. mischief.
The Qrowth of the Wagner Cult
tn the domain of muslo no fact is
more evident to those who care to see
it than that Wagner, despite the old
time opposition, is fast carrying the
day. The giant sums spent annually in
our 'great cities upon productions of his"
operas; the crowing frequency of his
name on concert programmes and the
multiplication of the literature devoted
to exploiting hit personality and his
arttstlo aims are circumstances betok
ening the rapid growth of the ferment
.Where once there was only a mlcrosco
plo minority of Wagnerltes In this eoun
try there are to-day tens and hundreds
of thousands; Indeed, It would ten years
ago have been Impossible for an organ
ization Ilka that of Walter Damrosch to
make a tour of fifteen or twenty cities
with one of the most' e xpermlve salary
lists of any operatic troupe ever col
lected together in the United States and
pay expenses," 'Tbtcn Mf Damrosch Is
more than doing at this lime;
In Mr. ' Damro'sch'a own opinion,
''Wagnerian music is no longer the
muslo of the future; the years and the
culture have' finally reached the heights
of the master genius of Bayreuth, and
the historians who write the art of the
end of the century will designate the
period by his name. There is every
where over the land a wise, scholarly
appreciation of the great composer.
Critics will disagree with me and call it
a fad. They will argue that tho love
for the best that men ever put into
scores is merely a fad, some sixty-day
wonder, which is a fashion. This posi
tion I dispute', and to put the question
.to a test 1 have determined to sing the
masterpieces in all the cities of the con
tinent This has never previously been
undertaken, but I have confidence in the
opinion that the people are becoming
more thoughtful and are thinking deep
er, and are now ready for the opera
which carries history, tragedy and all
the elements of the drama In the lines
above- Its notes." - . -w ...
, ' Continuing upon this theme the young
manager adds: "It is eminently rea
sonable that the best years of the cen
tury should honor Wagner. He appeals
to the best characteristics of the time.
His operas possess more than that
which pleases during their recital. The
scenes are crowded with' history, the
settings bring down to modern times
the romanoe and beauty of medieval
years, the stories are consistent, and
the lines bear plots a complicated and
Interesting as the production of the
master dramatists- One sings the myth
ology, of the northland;, another records
as does no other work the customs of
the glortoua times of ancient Nurem
berg, and each has an Intellectual mis
sion. and none depends upon the mere
pleasing of a fancy for a whistling
Jingle for Its life."' No doubt It Is true
that the majority Is yet partial to the
"whistling jingle;" but thanks to such
agencies as the instructive chamber
concerts which' Professor Hemberger
has organized in Scranton, and which
to-day find their counterpart in nearly
every large city In the country, the
whistling jingolsts of music are de
creasing and the lovers of real muslo
are increasing. This unquestionably
means much for the next genratlon.
The penny journalism fever has now
reached St. Louis, where, on the same
day the Republic and the Globe-Democrat,
both hitherto five-cent papers,
dropped to a cent. Tho Globe-Democrat
is one of the largest and ablest
newspapers in tho country. It prints
nearly twice as much news as Is print
ed in the largest eastern dailies, and
its editorial standards rank among the
best At a penny a copy it will lose
money, .but otherwise it will make
things hum.
An Unseemly Wrangle.
The Philadelphia Press is undoubt
edly correct when It attributes the in
creasing Democratic hullabaloo over
Judge Smith's election to the primary
folly of the Democratic party in nom
inating six candidates for an office
which in the very nature of things only
one of them could get. Tho fact that
Judge Smith was the one preferred by
the voters of his party ought on its
face to end the discussion, and it prob
ably would if the Pennsylvania Democ
racy were not aching for a chance to
say mean things about Itself.
While It is, of course, exclusively a
Democratic wrangle, in which Repub
licans as Republicans have no call to
interfere, it Is nevertheless a neighbor
ly duty for The Tribune to deprecate
tho efforts of its friends, tho enemy, to
abuse their most popular candidate,
as they are by implication abusing him
in their unseemly hair-pulling match
over the recent election returns. If the
other fellows were not content to abide
in peace the result of Judge Smith's
election, why did they permit him to be
nominated? Having admitted him, at
Willlamsport, to a place on their ticket,
with equal privileges and equal rights,
why should they now fling gravel at his
window?
The fact is that the whole affair is
a miserable travesty, reflecting no
credit on any of the active manipula
tors. Judge Smith, as a self-respecting
and decent man, ought to be heartily
glad, for reasons other than personal,
that his elevation to the bench will
soon remove him from such company.
It is as good as settled, apparently,
that Pennsylvania will get the clerk
ship of the next house. Now let Penn
sylvania do the proper thing and se
cure also the next president.
Reassuring a Contemporary,
For the reason that we believe the
Wllkes-Barre Record to be sincere in
what follows, we take the trouble to
reply to a remark In its issue of yester
day: If the Hon. Josenh A. Scranton and that
sterling Republican end all-round man,
William Connell, would only i?et together
for Republicanism, the Democrats of
Lackawanna 'county would tlnd 'them
selves outside the breastworks for all
time to come. Aside from tho merits of
the case, with which we have trothlnir to
do, the success of the party in that county
would be permanently assured If 111698
gentlemen burled the hatchet and united
their forces. - As it Is, the contest now
In progress is very welcome to the Dem
ocrats, for they see in It a probable hope
that if it continues they may possibly
regain some of the ground they lost in the
last campaign.
The gentlemen named "got together"
one year ago, with the result that Mr.
Scranton, after begging and borrowing,
as is his custom, took the first chance
to spend, the usufruct in abusing his
helper,, and In seeking to do Injury to
Mr. Connell'a . life-long friends. Thus
far, what he did was of a personal na
ture perhaps not concerning the party
at large.- Rut in the last election he not
only gave the party ticket lukewarm
and grudging support through the col
umns of his newspaper, but he secretly
sought, by 'the artifices which a life
time's use had made familiar to him,
to cut and stab that ticket in spots,
thinking thus to do Mr. Connell fur
ther harm. No sooner had it been
elected, however, despite his treach
ery, by the largest average plurality in
the party's history than he started
forth, under the cover of darkness, to
gather around him the standing mal
contents of the city and to put things
in shape to try to defeat the next Re
publican city ticket. "Getting together"
where ho is concerned would simply
mean new encouragement for the devil
try which has already made his leader
ship obnoxious to four-fifths of the self-
rerpectlng Republicans of the county.
The game isn't worth the candle.
The-Republican city ticket, as the
February returns will show, will be all
the stronger for Scranton's opposition.
Judge Brubaker, of Lancaster, is the
latest Jurist to complain of the petty
cases and exorbitant fee bills which
reach the court from the lower tribun
als. He charges the constables of that
county with going to the almshouse
and taking "bums" from there before
magistrates and having them commit
ted twice a week for short terms for
drunkenness and disorderly conduct, in
order to multiply their fees. The judge-
does not point out any remedy; but a
few summary arrests for contempt of
court would probably serve a good pur
pose. To accident rather than to any pre
cautionary measures taken in antici
pation of such mishaps Is due the es
cape of the lady and her two daughters
from serious Injury near the Mears
building yesterday afternoon, when
part of a scaffolding fell within an
arm's length of them, from tho eighth
story. The obvious lesson of this
warning should not pass unheeded.
Local admirers of the national game
will be glad to ..learn that the legal
complications which have arisen in
connection with the recent sale of the
old Eastern .league franchise will not
deprive Scranton of representation In
next' year's' Eastern league circuit
This city will have; a ball club which
will play the game. " " ' "" 1 c '
Let us hope that one of these fine
days Scranton will learn that It too,
has a local Carnegie ready to endow It
with a handsome muslo hall. The de-
veiopment of a taste for good music
In this city is to all appearances rapid
enough to justify such a prediction; for
with the opportunity we may in
Scranton except tho man.
That the city of Scranton should have
a first-class central public market is as
certain as that it has nothing of the
kind at present. The board of trade
ought to have enterprise enough within
Its own membership to take hold of this
question and settle it in the right man
ner.
The Scranton Republican having
flopped to Mugwumpery and hoisted an
"Independent" label at its masthead,
The Tribune takes pleasure in calling
attention to tho fact that it is now the
only Republican dally In Lackawanna
county.
Our Washington correspondent is
probably misinformed when ho inti
mates that Speaker Reed has decided
to appoint the congressman from this
district chairman of the house commit
tee on seltzer and lemon.
Pennsylvania carrlad oft thp honors
at Atlanta as a matter of habit; and
the same habit probably could, If It
would, produce a similar effect at the
next Republican national convention.
Senator Vest's substitute designation
for the Cleveland "cuckoos" is "tho
incenso-burners." They're evidently
the ones who are trying to smoke the
third term out.
A paid regular fire department In
this city would prove, in all respects,
a profitable investment. Fire insur
ance policy-holders will one day find
this out.
While "lifting the curtain," the In
grate should not overlook his own vul
nerable record at Washington.
Mr. Cleveland, in writing his mes
sage, is hereby courteously Implored to
cut it short
The "some good Southern man" issue
belongs now on the Republican side of
the fence.
THE TKIP TO ATLANTA.
Tt Is natural for every one who visits
the Atlanta exposition to compare tt with
the World's fair. This is scarcely just to
the South, as It has by no means been ex
pected, or even attempted, to compete
with that stupendous event. The cotton
states, with the assistance they have re
ceived from a few northern states, are
naturally unable to make such a colossal
showing ns was seen at Chicago, and It
Is most unreasonable to anticipate a com
petition. The fact Is that the Atlanta exposition
Is unique, but if comparisons must be
made, It may be stated that the grounds
at Piedmont park have superior advan
tages In that they are dlversllled with
natural features of hill and vale, rolling
gently as far as tho eye can reach, agulnst
the blue mountains. Standing on a ter
raced eminence fronting the Pennsylva
nia building can be seen every structure
on the grounds, and the speetucle at night
Is especially brilliant. The architecture
Is varied and therefore utterly unlike tho
stately glory cV tho white city. The wo
man's building is exquisitely beautiful
with its five lovely statues surrounding
and surmounting the noble dome. It Is
more symmetrical and charming than any
building at the World's fair, and does
great credit 'to tho young Pennsylvania
girl who was Its designer. The forestry
and mining building is very handsome In
deed, in an airy, graceful style of archi
tecture, while the art gallery is rarely
classic and lovely.
As to the exhibits, those of the woman's
building are remarkably fine. Every room
is a gem of beauty. The assembly apart
ment is marvelous In decoration and de
sign. The walls ore covered with rare
old portraits of Southern women, some
of whom have long slept beneath the
Southern grasses. Every portrait Is by
some great master, and the collection Is
most valuable, as arc also the cases of
miniatures that are to be seen. I wish nil
northern people could have stood with
me in that splendid room on Saturday,
where beneath the exquisitely painted cell
ing stood the fairest women of Georgia,
and, indeed, of the South, greeting Penn
sylvania guests. Mrs. Hastings, with her
stately presence and oharmlng ' mobile
face, mado us all proud of our distin
guished representative in the long line of
noble women who greeted the visitors.
Mrs. Joseph Thompson, whose face with
Its coloring and artistic contour would
make the loveliest cameo In the world,
smiled from the head of the line. Mrs.
Porter King, the wife of Atlanta's mayor,
whose rich warm beauty makes her a typi
cal daughter of tho South, was another.
Mrs. B. W. Wrenn, the chief head of the
entertainment committee of the board of
lady managers, ushered In the favored
guests at the door and made every Penn
sylvania woman her friend for life with
her warm cordiality. Head and shoulders
above everyone stood our governor, as he
always stood In every assemblage. We
needed no White plumed orltlamme of
Henry of Navarre to guide us during our
journey, for wherever the densest crowd
surged, there you might be sure would
tower Governor Hastings' head, to be
seen afar. He made a great Impression
In the South. No one there had ever seen
such a big governor, and had never met
one who was so thoroughly at home and
so delighted with everything. .
Then -his staff I wish you could see
that staff in all Its glory of the gorgeous
new dress uniforms. I can lust tell you It
struck Atlanta. There was General Wiley,
who Is said to be the handsomest military
representative In tho United States. Ho is
over six feet tall. General Gobin la also
very distinguished In appearance, as are
also Gcnernls Schall and Reeder. Colonels
Ripple, Kshleman. Logan, Potter, Reed,
Miner, Hudson, Elverson, Howell, Reld
and others made up a truly notable staff,
and the Southerners were not slow In ex
pressing their admiration. The members
of the staff had not taken their wives
along, and at tho reception they received
much attention. Nearly every one of tho
more frivolous had at. least two pretty
women who were devoting their entire
energies to giving him a good time.
:!:
But I started in to tell about the expo
sition. The fact Is that we were "re
ceived' and feted to such an extent that
we did not see as much of the fair as
might be supposed after spending three
days at the grounds. Scranton exhibits
are pretty generally to be seen. Our lace
ourtains beautify the lovely Pennsylvania
room. J. L. Crawford's big petrified tree
attracts more attention than any other
exhibit In the forestry and mining build
ing. Scranton's decorated china and
needlework are well placed, and our relics
find good locations In. the colonial room.
The flrBt thing one sees In entering the
rt gallery la Hovenden's "Breaking
Home Ties. It occupies a large open
place In the west wing, and is surrounded
by a stout Iron railing and a throng of
visitors. Great care Is taken of this pre.
clous picture. A number of the World's
fair paintings sre hung and among those
never before exhibited are works of the
greatest artists of modern times. The
negro building la full of interest Visitors
are particularly struck with the evidences
of progress In the great Industrial schools.
There Is a future for the race in these
noble institutions.
The Pennsylvanla'buildlng Is tho hand
somest state structure on the grounds.
The sunny open court wHh Liberty Boll at
one side is a great resort It was on this
fine marble floored plasa that the Penn
sylvania Day exercises were held, and It
was from a platform at the front, around
which we all sat grouped, that our gover
nor made one of the hannlpst adflrwaiua it

CURB THE EXECUTIVE.
From the Chicago Times-Herald.
Two well-established delusions nre
brought into consplcunUMnes.s today. The
first is that the government of the I'nited
States is a popular government. The see
ond Is that tho government of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland Is
a momircliinl Instead of a popular gov
ernment. What is meant by a responsible
government? To whom Is the executive
of tho United States responsible? Presum
ably to tho people of the United States.
For what Is tho executive of tho United
States responsible? By oath of those
constituting It for enforcement of tiie
constitution and lawsof the United States,
and of the will of tho people clearly ex
pressed in an intelligible and authentic
manner.
Tho president of the United States may
not without the concurrence and authori
zation of congress engage In any under
taking for the enforcement of treaty obli
gations when the consequences of his nets
would involve the country In war. Never
theless, the congress the president is
soon to meet is ono unin.-ttructod by the
people on the chief question which tho
executive must now undertake to solve
namely, whether or not a foreign sover
eignty may with physical force break
treaty obligations with another American
country, and, supporting fraud by arms,
acquire a huge portion of American soil
for purposes hostile to tho Interests end
honor of the United States. Un the other
hand, the executive of tho government of
Oreat Britain, subject to an unwritten
constitution, but more directly In touch
with the popular will, carries out a well
known desire of the electorate of Eng
land at least, and, supporting fraud by
force, has already. In shameless defiance
of diplomatic usages and of treaty obliga
tions, stealthily transported troopa into
a territory title to which is known to bo
be in dispute, and the dispute subject, un
der numerous precedents and by express
agreement, to arbitration.
There are advantages in on unwritten
over a written constitution. Doubtless
the states forming the American union
are safest under a written constitution.
Many chapters, however, in the national
history emphasize the need of a speedy
attempt so to recast the federal compact
as to make the executive really and prac
tically responsible to the people, that Is
to say, to give the president and his ad
visers a congress elected within a reason
able period preceding Its actual life. The
congress which President Cleveland Is
to meet next December Is for all useful
Intents and purposes a dead body. Tts
functions should have ceased with the
election of its successor.
Under the federal constitution as It now
reads ami works It can scarcely he said
tha t there is a responsible or popular gov
ernment in the United States. In this
juncture, as has been the ease In the past
the executive must take the national man
date from the popular will as conveyed
through the press and public meetings.
If, however, the congress mill exclusively
potent under the constitution should re.
fuse to effectuate the popular will ns thus
formulated tho executive will be helpless.
Lord Salisbury, on the contrary, if the
commons should not do what he believes
the electorate desjre done, can appeal from
the legislature to the electors. The Bri
tish government, therefore, more truly in
the working of Its highest machinery Is a
popular and responsible government than
the government of the United States.
A Thankful Note.
Let's still be thankful with the rest
For this old world of sin;
For by long odds It's still the best
That ever we were In!
