BCRANTON, NOVEMBER 21. 1895.
It can be set down as a fixed tact that
the United States will never be In a
financially healthy condition until It
xports considerably more than It Im
ports. Tho fault of the present ar
rangement Is that the Imports are con
stantly gaining on tne exports.
The Main Trouble.
The aggressive proprietor of the Phil
adelphia Record Intimates that the rea
son, of the decline of the Democratic
party In- Pennsylvania Is to be found
In Incompetent management. We con
strue this aa a thrust at William F.
llarrlty, and as such It probably has
Justification.. Hut mismanagement,
however gross, could hardly explain
away the fact that' almost one-fourth
of the voting male citizens of the com
monwealth have, within a very few
years, gone over from the. Democracy,
to the party of reputable government
and liberal ideas. Something more po
tent than the disaffection of tho spoils
men must have been the animating
principle behind, this radical transfer,
of political confidence and allegiance.
In the nature of things there will
always be two chief political parties,
with their average strength pretty well
balanced. When one of those' parties
bteeomes for a time very decidedly larger
and stronger than the other, it Indi
cates that the principles and the meas
ures of that party make' a more effec
tive appeal to the- confidence of the
masses of the people than Is made by
the principles and the measures of the
rival organization. If the decline of
the Democratic party at this time were
confined to Pennsylvania it might with
fairness be attributed to defects in the
operation of Its internal machinery;
but when we notice that that decline
Is general and almost uniform through
out those states where quick Intelli
gence and freedom from Inherited prej
udices enter largely Into the verdicts
at the polls, such a claim offers scant
explanation.
No, no, Brother Blngerly; whatever
Mr. Harrlty's faults as a leader, the
prime fault Is not with him alone. It
Is with the whole course and aim rJf
the present Democracy, which are out
of Joint. with patriotic public sentiment
and therefore' Intrinsically Ineffective
as agencies for the getting of votes.-
It Is to be. hoped that this talk about
. Selling the Republican national conven
tion to the city making the highest bid
has no Justification in fact The Re
publican national convention should
meet wherever a majority of the party
wants It to meet. v .
The Law of Periodicity.
It was Senator Brlce, If we remember
correctly, who recently remarked that
he was not discouraged by this fall's
election; for while the Republicans
would win In 1896 the responsibilities of
the uppermost party and the natural
discontent of the people, have grown
so great with the republic's later de
velopment that no party could long re
main In power. A similar view has
also' been expressed by Frederick , C.
"Walte, a Washington statistician, lrt'a
paper read by hm a fewjdays ago be
fore the National Statistical associa
tion. OMr. Walte, being a Democrat,
claims that Tilden was elected in 1876,
which enables htm to assert that dur
ing the twenty years which ended with
the breaking up of the Whig party the
Democrats have carried every alter
nate presidential oleptlonL;athexMv
also dope lit the twenty years beginning
with 1176. tit other' words, according to
Mr. Walte, the years - 1836 and 187C
brought viotories, to the Democracy and
the years 1840 and 1880 defeats; '44 and
'S4 Victories and '48 and '88 defeats; '52
and '92 victories and here the parallel
ends. ..'
.Mr. Waits professes to see In the rapid
fluctuation of the past few years sim
ply tho eiptesslori of a natural law of
unrest; an ebb and flow of partisan en
thusiasm and feeling which roughly
maintains the same rhythm from de
cade to decade. It Is because we are In
the trough of the ebb tide, according to
this Ingenious reasoner.' that the
Democracy has been so badlv worsted.
The Republican party's pluralities, heJ
cumenas, are apparent rawer than
real; they look larger because the op
position' vote Is small, but the really
large factor In the problem, he thinks,
is the stay-at-home Vote. For Instance,
he calls our attention to the fact that
"In Pennsylvania ' the vote, of the
Democrats has fallen " to 282,481 from
446,633 In 1888, that of the Republicans
to 466,745 from 528,081 In 1888, while the
vote of the stay-at-home party has In
creased to 610,000 from only 70,000 In
1888. In estimating the total vote,
aliens, foreigners with first papers,
criminals, paupers, etc., have been de
ducted from the male taxables twenty
one years or. over. Ip New York -the
stay-at-home vote Hal Increased from
75,000 in 1888 to 185,000 in 1892, 425,000 In
1894 and 610,000 this year. Even in
Kentucky it has Increased t.lom 55,000
in lttl to 100,000 this year, in Massa
chusetts It has increased from 10,000
In 1888 to 100,000 In 188J ant 230,000 this
years Ohio, from 40,000 In 1881 to lit,.
000 in 1892 and to 180,000 this year. The
Increase in the stay-at-home vote has
been scarcely less marked In other
states."
, That there la a measure of broad
truth in these assertions will not be de
nied; but it must not be forgotten that
in the actions of the second Cleveland
administration, offensive as these have
almost uniformly been to the patriotic
sentiment of the country and destruc
tive of the country's best Interests, the
Democratic voters of the country re
ceived a very strong incentive tS stay
at home. That they will stay there
In 1896 and thus permit Mr. Walte's law
of periodicity to receive a new vindica
tion Is exceedingly probable. There is
Bhrewdness in Senator Brlce's remark
that the burden of political responsibil
ity is too heavy for any party to shoul
der; but it Is especially true, one would
think, of the party to which Mr. Brlce
belongs.
Should the Republicans organize the
senate, week after next, they would
assume responsibility without possess
ing power. Such a result la not worth
Its cost.
An Instructive Warning. .
At a dinner recently given In his
honor at the Philadelphia Union
League Major-Oeneral Nelson A. Miles,
commander of the United States army,
used these words: "There isn't a
modern gun In position to defend this
great city of Philadelphia from an in
vader. There Isn't a soldier. The
same statement can be made of every
one of the twenty-elsht great cities of
the country In which Is accumulated
the wealth of the United States." Con
tinuing ho said that our condition was
like that of China. With her tremend
ous population and her vast armies
she felt perfectly secure when the
Chlno-Japanese war broke out. Yet
Japan, with her far smaller popula
tion, but a greater fleet, conquered the
vaster nation in a little less than two
years. The lesson of this experience,
he said, was that it was not necessary
to Invade a country In order to conquer
It. The wealth of the country was con
centrated In the great cities, and, as is
the case in this country at the
present time, If they were unprotected
from a foreign Invasion the conquest
of a vast extent of territory could be
speedily accomplished.
It is the hope of every good citizen
that the danger to which General Miles
so earnestly directs attention will not
be brought home to the American peo
plo by the costly experience of a for
eign war. Such an experience is a pos
sibility now happily remote. But the
suine national prudence which has dic
tated the upbuilding of a modern navy,
with its powerful armor-clad warships
and its terrible torpedo boats, calls
loudly for the completion of the scheme
of potential defense by the safeguard
ing of our exposed coast cities. The de
struction of New York or Philadelphia
would be too large a price to pay for
remissness or negligence in . this re
spect. The time to take the precaution
is before the danger arrives. This ques
tion will undoubtedly come before con
gress, and it should be met In a spirit
of wisdom which overlooks first cost in
view of the larger item of ultimate gain.
The Washington Post Is half inclined
to take stock in' the Quay presidential
boom. The Post, however, should not
believe all It sees In print concerning
Pennsylvania politics.
Why Not Recount All Ballots?
The esteemed Philadelphia Bulletin is
apparently jtmable to understand that
the excess of Judge Smith's vote in
Luzerne and i Lackawanna counties
over the vote cast for. Myers, the Dem
ocratic candidate for state treasurer,
can be accounted for by the compara
tively sample theory that many Demo
crats who voted for Judge Smith voted
for no one else. This plain and readily
comprehensible theory seems also to
He outside the reach of the able minds
of the editors of the Philadelphia Rec
ord and tho Philadelphia Times. We
do not like to accuse these -brilliant
gentlemen of being too stupid to see so
obvious a solution; neither do we like
to believe that they are not trying to
see it.
Perhaps, ' therefore, the easiest and
quickest way to bring tranquility to
their perturbed breasts would be to
have the official returns unsealed and
recounted. Such a course of procedure
would be somewhat unusual, but It
would be safe and it would also bo
effective. The result, we daro say,
would be found to confirm The Trib
une's explanation. It would show that
votes by the hundreds were cast for
Judge Smith and for Judge Smith alone
the votes of Democrats who, in this
instance, took no Interest in the fate
of the remainder of the Democratic
tlcketvJiut contented themselves with
plumping'' for their favorite candi
date, as was their Indisputable privi
lege under the law.
In view of the frequency of these
post-election wrangles It would per
haps be a good idea for the next leg
islature to add to the present ballot
law a provision requiring every ballot
to be counted, a second time, in open
court. Then the kickers would neces
sarily have to be satisfied.
The repeated announcements of Gen
eral Campos that Spain will "do what Is
right" for Cuba sadly needs verification.
If Campos isn't lying, why doesn't
Spain give the Cubans their freedom 7
Counting the Cost.
Eenator Baker, of Kansas, has been
doing a little figuring with reference to
the cost of Democratic rule during the
past two years. His conclusion is that
the loss of 180,000,000 of gold a year to
go to Europe to pay the balance of
trade against us; the issuing of 1183.-
000,000 of 6 and 4 per cent, bonds to pay
the running expenses of the govern
ment over and above the usual receipts
of $470,000,000 a year, and which will
cost the people about $400,000,000 before
they eliminate that debt from their
overburdened shoulders; these, I say,
are but small matters compared to the
loss of business by the country as
shown from, the clearing house reports.
These were over $6,000,000,000 In 1888,
and but little less In 1880. Business
droriped to! $3,500,000,000 in 1892, and to
onf, $2,000,000,000 In 1893. and but little
etter in 1894 and 1895, or a net loss
to the business of the country of over
llO.ita.pM.uo. The most deplorable
part of It u th laboring people hare
had to stand about, one-half of this
loss." .
Under the circumstances, the sena
tor Is probably correct In surmising
that it will be several years before the
voters of this Tountry will want to try
another Democratic experiment.
And now Minneapolis and St Paul
want to hold a great mid-continent ex
hibition In 1897. There is a possibility
that the exposition business may be
overdone.
The merit of a presidential message.
In these busy electric days, lies In its
brevity. Let us hope Grover will whittle
the platitudes down.
There Is no place where the cold wave
Is more unreservedly welcome than In
the anthracite coal Melds. Let the mer
cury boom!
Government byQrover Cleveland hav
ing proved Itself a, failure, government
by congress will soon occupy the center
of the stage.
The report that the Sultan had been
poisoned turns out to be a hoax; but It
is apparently about the size of his de
serving. A good Cuban victory would fit this
belligerent Thanksgiving season better
than all your scraps at foot ball.
There exists no Insurmountable rea
son why the next president should not
be a Pennsylvanlan.
Another stretch of silence from John
C. New has arisen to perplex and as
tound the public.
The next president ought to be a
resident of Pennsylvania.
PREPARING TO BOLT.
From the Wllkes-Barre News-Dealer. .
Congressman Scranton has hoisted at
the editorial head of the Republican the
names of the three gentlemen he wants
nominated next spring for mayor, con
troller and treasurer. Attached to the
list of names Is the stereotyped, "subject
to the decision of the Republican city con
vention," but this is upset by the head,
which Is "Independent Republican Tick
et." This Is a notice served on the Con
nell faction, or a threat. If they will con
strue It that way, that the men selected
by Scranton and his friends must be
nominated or they will be run as an In
dependent venture.
COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
Patriotism's Coming Chance.
Olyphant Gazette: "Never, .since the
old Liberty Boll at Philadelphia Hrst rang
out Its proclamation of Independence In
177H, has this government maintained a
foreign policy so utterly and absolutely
devoid of all true American sentiment,
so lacking in courage and so Idiotic in Its
convictions as that which charaterlzes the
present administration of Grover Cleve
land. Since the very first day of Cleve
land's executive authority he has seemed
to studv the surost plans for the destruc
tion of the high standing we, as a nation,
have acquired through following the prln
ciples that abler men had laid down for
the RUdance of this, the greatest nation
on earth, until today we are In a fair way
of losing our standing as a powerful peo
ple a people whose regards are to be re
spected. Almost his first official act was
to undo the good work of James G. Blaine
and Benjamin .Harrison In connection
with tho Hawaiian troubles, by ordering
down the flag which had been placed over
the Islands establishing a protectorate.
He denied to Brazil the rlcht of recogni
tion aa an independent republic, apparent
ly forgetting that we, In the first stage of
our history as a nation, went through
eight years of war to gain the same
recognition. He has favored England In
fireference to his own land In Innumerable
nstances. Now, without thought of our
position at the head of the great federa
tion of nations, he sits Idly by and appar
ently approves of the inhuman butchery
of the Armenian Christians by the Mus
selmen of Turkey. He sees the Spanish
government oppressing Its subjects in
Cuba; he sees the great Monroe doctrine
disregarded by England and that coun
try slowly but surely gaining possessions
of inestimable value In Venezuela and In
Central America; he permits a former
representative of this government to He
Incarcerated in a French dungeon without
reason and without a fair trial. These nre
only a few of the ninny instances in which
the administration of Cleveland has taken
a cowardly stand, others might be cited
at great length. If these difficulties had
occurred when the policy of the state de
partment was dictated by James G. Blaine
how different It would all bet But with
a Republican congress now soon to con
vene it Is possible that Cleveland's 'well
defined foreign policy' may have some re
visions made to Its text that will give it
the appearance of being a policy of n
tellgent people. Speed the day when Cleve
land abdicates the throne."
:o:
Tho Virtue of Kicking.
Denver News: "A certain amount of
Judicious and vigorous kicking is neces
sary for the development of tho Christian
graces among some classes of public serv
ants, who seem entirely lacking therein.
The kicked should be certain that the
kicker Is at fault; he should not go about
looking for opportunities to And grounds
of complaint, or else he will degenerate
from the high and lofty position of the
kicker and 'become merely a nagging nuis
ance. Having found noma glaring in
stance of rudeness, and having mildly but
firmly remonstrated with the kicker to
no purpose, he should at once communi
cate with the proper authorities, and set
all the circumstances of the case before
them, asking that the klckee be not dis
charged but reprimanded. On the other
hand, the cultivation of a courteous man
ner toward the servants of the public Is
to. be commended. To be sure, a word of
thanks to a conductor or clerk might
cause a sudden death from the shock now
and then, but it is not to be omitted on
that account."
:o:
Coast Defenses Needed.
Philadelphia Ledger: "The United
States is so destitute of sea-coast defenses
that the fleets of any first-class power
could readily batter down almost any of
our defenses save that of Sandy Hook.
Instead at making faces at Europe and
daring other nations to go to war with us,
as various sangulnariea in congress would
propose, it would be more prudent for this
government to look after its fortifications
and Improve Its navy. It may be true
that he is thrice-armed who hath his quar
rel Just, but a simple panoply of virtue
is no substitute for Harveylzed steel in
warding off cannon shots."
Important If Trne.
Chicago Times-Herald: "News comes
from Washington to the Times-Herald
that the British government will consent
to arbitrate Its claim In Venezuela down
to the line pointed out from the beginning
by the United States aa the starting plane
namely, the boundary existing between
Dutch Guiana and Venezuela In 1803." -
A Satisfactory Arrangement.
San Francisco Call: "The surest way
to get a rightful settlement of the Alas,
kan 'boundary is for our. government to
take possession of the line we claim, and
then let the dlacusslojj go on."
IS TEMPERANCE GAINING?
Philadelphia Bulletin: A close observer
will And In the signs of the times many
things going to show that the habit of
drinking Intoxicating liquor In this coun
try Is qn the decrease. One Impressive
sign afforded by this city Is the great
number of saloonkeepers who ask permis
sion of the court to transfer their busi
ness. They assign various reasons, but
th moat common one Is Illness, and It is
doubtless the most correct one. They are
sick sick of a business which they have
not found profitable.
It is only a natural deduction from other
facts that the drink habit Is falling oft.
One of these Is the common practice of
railroads and other corporations to re
quire not merely temperanoe, "but total
abstlnencs oa th part of their employes.
This at one withdraw from the saloons
the patronage, of a large -body of man,
most of them young men, who or tne
best patrons of such places when they
patronise them at all. The Christian En
deavor movement, which haa had such
wonderful success Ingathering young men
to Its banner, is another potent enemy of
drink, and withholds from the saloons
many thousands yearly. - d
Still another adverse Influence Is that of
society. There Is plenty of drinking done.
In society; and society smiles on It; but,
all the same, when a man's character is
under discussion In society, the admission
that "he drinks little now and then" al
ways counts against him. That is really
the meaning of -the screened doors and
frosted windows of the saloons; It is not
reputable for a man to be seen drinking,
and this consideration haa its Influence In
restraining the habit.
It Is tolerably plain, then, that the use
of Intoxicating liquor Is on the wane. It
will be a long time before it will cease
entirely, if it ever does; but each succeed
ing generation is sobf rer than the one be
fore it. In Ume, perhaps In a compara
tively few years, drink will become the
dissipation of the few instead of, as now,
the vice of the many.

MOMENTS OF MERRIMENT.
A Fnblo Modernized.
A wolf, meeting with a lamb astray
from the fold, resolved not to lay violent
hands on him, but to find dome plea which
should Justify to the lamb himself his
rieht to eat him. He then addressed him:
"Sirrah, last year you called me a damp-
nooi: me lamo men oieateu piiiiuny
and exclaimed: "Indeed I was not born
last year; I am an honestinjun spring
lamo. ' Tne woir then said: ' You would
have called me a damphool If you had
been born!" "No, good sir," replied the
lamb, "I always go to Sunday school."
The wolf laughed and exclaimed: "Well,
If I let you ko now you will he sure to cnli
me a damphool," so he seized tho lamb
and dined heartily, without green peas or
mint sauce.
