SCRANTON. NOVEMBER 23, 1895.
Tngrate Joe complains of The Trib
une's "vile scurrility." He refers to Its
plain but moderate description of a few
of his own Iniquities. He isn't sorry
for hi evil doings. He Is only sorry to
see them alluded to In print. Now if
The Tribune had really reached the mid
dle of this subject, Joe might have some
reason to complain. Aslt Is, the Ingrate'a
writhing under a slight sample dose of
his own medicine Is simply ludicrous.
It makes a difference whose ox is gored.
' Exposing False Pretences.
That the candidacy of Colonel Ripple
for mayor does not please J. A. Scran
ton can be accounted for In many ways.
chief among; them being the fact that
Colonel Ripple Is an honest man, who
never would or could be used by Mr,
Scranton as a tool. It was Ripple's
original election as mayor that broke
the back-bone of Scranton's long-pow
erful political monopoly in municipal
affairs and made it possible for Re
publicans to aspire to olllce without
paying tribute, to one or the other of
the then partners in bosslsm who be
tween them ruled both parties with an
Iron hand. It Is, of course, a He that
Ripple "made the mayor's office Dem
ocratic headquarters"; but it is true
that during his tenure of that office It
was open to all the public and not held
as the chattel of any boss or clique,
Scranton has always opposed Ripple
for mayor and always will. Ills attl
tude Is the natural consequence of the
difference between the men: the one
honest, brave and lmplusive, too noble
to stoop to trickery and too straight
forward to beat about the bush; the
other furtive, suspicious and domineer
ing, with a nature warped to any act
cf meanness, and a selfishness which
would stop at no sacrifice. The same
spirit which caused Scranton to hurry
home from Washington at the end of
Ripple's first term and put up Major
J'onnian as a candidate against him
animates Scranton In his present
course. Then, Penman got one vote in
convention. It remains to be seen how
much better the present opponent will
. The cfy is made that Ripple fought
iWilllams and Brooks. That he fought
.AVUllams Is,, true. anf the' people "s"ils
talned him In iC, But for. a Jugglery
with the returns, .' concerning, which
Scraatqn. could perhaps tell a tale. Mr.
Cofineir would have been seated
county commissioner, to which office he
was fairly elected. The facts with ref
erencelo Brooks' are well known. Fpr
one defeat Brooks has twice received
an election. The very generous emolu
ments of his office have In the years of
his incumbency probably fully recom
pensed him lor' his original chagrin
Let Brooks compute his profits and see
how his account stands.
But if Ripple Is so objectionable to
Scranton because years ago he fought
a corruptly-nominated candidate for
county commissioner and afterward
crossed the party line rather than de
sert a life-long friend, how comes it
that Scranton is at home with ex
Mayor Fellows, an open bolter, and
cheek-by-jowl with a roomful of men
Who, not later than three weeks ago,
were leagued together against a regu
larly nominated Republican candidate?
.Why Is It that the thing which damns
Hippie in Scranton's Judgment makes
of Fellows, et aL, hale fellows well
met?
The enmity of Scranton is a compli
ment which Ripple doubtless fully ap
preciates, for It Is an involuntary testi
monial to Rlpplo's manliness. The
Tribune will support the nominee of
the next Republican city convention,
be he Molr or Ripple. Will Scranton's
paper dare to make the same pledge?
The Scranton Republican (Ind.-Rep.)
urges the Republican voters of Scran
ton to "Inform themselves of the rec
ords, the methods and the purposes of
both sides In this struggle for control."
And yet when The Tribune makes a
start toward showing up Joe's record,
the Mugwump Republican at once be
gins to whine.
An Unenviable Record of Crime. a
The Lebanon Report, a paper pub
lished in the midst of a pacific, conser
vative and orderly people, Is shocked at
the story of lawlessness and crime
which comes to Its ears from the lower
part of Luserne county. The presence
at one time, of twenty-one murderers
In the Luserne Jail Is a circumstance
which It finds difficult to account for.
while even more perplexing are the al
most dally reports of highway robberies
and criminal assaults which emanate
from the wild places on Buck mountain.
"One must conclude," It thinks, "that
there Is something radically wrong In
Luserne county or there would not be
such a carnival of crime within its
borders. One's first impluse might be
to attribute It all to laxity of officers,
yet the fact that twenty-one murderers
hare been arrested and are now In
prawn to not a very, bad record for the
law officers. What ratio that bears to
the number of crimes committed we
are unable to state, not having the
proper data. Another possible reason
may be the too tardy operations of
justice. There seems more likelihood
that this is to a considerable extent
responsible. Out of twenty-one mur
derers but one has thus far been sen
tenced to death, while but five have
been convicted. This is a very poor
showing. It must be admitted, and
when It Is taken Into consideration that
the one under sentence of death may be
able to secure re3pite once or possibly
more frequently, and may. under the
lax system of Justice as practised In
Pennsylvania, yet escape suffering the
extreme penalty of the law. there is
considerable plausibility in the theory
that crime receives Its chief encourage
ment in the sluggishness of the courts
of law. If these are not the causes,
then, beyond question, Luzerne county
Is Infested with a far more than ordi
narily desperate population and is in
sufficiently policed for Its own protection."
The Report does not agree with those
persons in the Hazleton region who ad
vocate recourse to Vigilance commit
tees and Judge Lynch. "A more ra
tional and in the end probably more
effective method," It believes, "would
be to set about earnestly inquiring Into
the causes of the difficulty: determine
just to what fault is due such an ab
normal condition, and then demand a
remedy from the state, if the county
cannot furnish It." The chief trouble,
ye Imagine, has been the indifference
df the people of Luzerne county to these
conditions which embody the county's
disgrace. When public sentiment is
once thoroughly awakened to the enor
mity of them, the matter of a remedy
will be reached naturally and by logical
stages.
How does the Scranton Republican
(Ind.-Rep.) know that Colonel Rlpftlo is
"not wanted by the Republicans for
muyor"? Would It not be well to let the
next city convention determine that
point? ,
A Question of Arithmetic.
Figures have repeatedly been pre
sented on this page proving the utter
falsity of the Democratic claim of a few
months ago that tariff reform benefits
the farmer: but to the Troy Times we
are Indebted for a table which puts the
whole subject before the eye vividly, yet
in brief. The Gorman-Wilson tariff
law, It will be remembered, went into
effect late In August. 1S94, and there
fore a comparison of the figures for the
year preceding: and the year following
Sept. 1, 1894, gives a fair Idea of the op
eration of the McKlnley law and the
deficit-breeding Democratic measure.
The following table tells the story:
Agricultural imports:
Lnut year of Last year of
McKlnley Inw. Wilson law.
Animals $!i'S,ii..
BreadstUtTs 3.2H7.W7
Kggs llil.32
on pure conjecture. The president is an
obstinate man, but even he can see by
this time that the tariff duties levied
under the present revenue bill are In
sufficient to meet current requirements
and that the temper of the people
overwhelmingly hostile to the raising
of supplemental revenue by resort to
direct taxation. Seeing these things,
and comprehending as he must the
great need of prompt relief. It Is quite
as possible that the president would
sign a conservative tariff bill, throw
ing the responsibility for It upon con
Kress, as that he would repeat his old and
disproved tariff reform platitudes in an
ahbitrary veto.
But no matter what Mr. Cleveland
might do, it will be the duty of the Re
publican party to do what It believes
to be well for the nation; and It cannot
hide from that duty behind the chair of
the Democratic executive.
The esteemed Harrlsburg Patriot
misinterprets The Tribune's mood when
it declares that this journal is "In
censed" because the correctness of the
Lackawanna returns have been doubted.
It is merely amused at the simulated ig
norance of those who pretend not to
know that hundreds of Democrats In
this county voted for Smith and Smith
alone. "Plumping" Is not fraud.

(Here, as trite' Times bptly says, "Is
ah Increase of nearly '100 per Cent, in
the Imports of articles coming Into
direct competition with the products of
American farms, and coupled with it Is
a loss of nearly 20 per cent, in the ex
port trade. The direct loss to the
American farmers' market from this
source alone is more than $125,000,000,"
We commend these figures to the farm
ers, of Northeastern Pennsylvania. Let
each farmer consult his own account
book under Republican and under Dem
ocratic times, and see under which pe
riod his .prices were highest and his
sales the largest. It is simply a ques
tion of arithmetic
Speaking about "opposing one's par
ty," how did Mr. Scranton act toward
the three Welshmen, Powell, Thomas
and Reese?
The Duty of Congress.
The duty of the Republican party In
the congress which will assemble one
week from next Monday ought not, It
would seem, to be the subject of much
debate. Rarely has a clearer require
ment confronted the legislative servants
of the people. Conspicuous and para'
mount among the facts before the pub'
He Is the government's present inability
tr pay its running expenses. This on
the one hand begets debt, which must
some day be paid, and on other weakens
public confidence and tends to unsettle
business. It Is not a healthy sign when
the government of the richest nation in
time of complete peace Is forced to meet
its current obligations by the forced sale
of interest-bearing bonds. Such a
symptom betokens an illness In the
body politic demanding Immediate at
tention. Delay will only augment the
danger; promptness and courage are re
quisite to a satisfactory cure.
Fortunately an overwhelming . major
ity of our statesmen agree as. to the
specific action necessary to put that
cure into operation. The deficit in the
treasury was caused by the Democratic
sacrifice of protective duties.. That
much is certain. How easy It will,
therefore, be to overcome that deficit by
restoring those duties! Not necessar
ily every Item In the McKlnley sched
ules; nobody demands that but there
Is a wise and a general demand for the
restoration of the chief Items which.
when previously protected by tariff en
actment, yielded targe revenue and at
the same time developed among our
people profitable,-wage-paying Indus
tries. Among these may be mentioned
wool and woolens, pottery and glass
ware, not to cite several others concern-
ins; which the members of the next ways
and means committee will undoubtedly
be well Informed.
The yily argument thus far advanced
againstlthe correction of the federal de
ficit by 1 the restoration of protective
duties Isjembodled In the assertion that
the president, bclnc a Democrat, would
veto such a bllt This assertion rests

an independent Republican ticket over its
editorial columns, the Scranton Tribune
announces to Its readers that The Tribune

na county. How long Mr. Scranton can
stand being dubbed a mugwump and
bolter, we do not know. But to a man
who has claimed straight Republicanism
as his guiding principle the situation
ought to be rather embarrassing, to say
the least.
No, Ho Uas Turned Mugwump.
From the Wilkes-Barre News-Dealer.
"The only Republican dally In Lack a.

about this when It Is brought to his atten.

THE PRESS AM) THE PUBLIC
From the Philadelphia Times.

lnjutlice is done to all reputable newspa

ness of the press from what they see in its
columns, but they do not speak, because
they do not know, of the vastly greater
amount of ensntlomtl article! founded in
truth, which mlht be published with en

which are dally suppressed by the editors
of our public Journals solely because such

gests that all of the ballots be recounted

Judge Smith's friends. It would not be
necessary to unseal the ballots or call the
voters into court to testify, to determine
