The Session of Congress.
On Monday the new congress, elected
last year, will assemble In its flrst
session. It has been the habit of many
newspapers to speak of it as a Repub
lican congress, but it is such only in
so far as the lower house is con
cerned. The senate ' is a decidedly
mixed body, being neither Republican
nor Democratic, If Senators Jones and
Stewart, of Nevada both elected as
Republicans), should oonclude to act
with th Republicans the latter would
then have exactly one-half the senate,
but there Is no probability that the
Nevada senators will take that posi
tion. More likely they will continue
to act with the handful of Populists
and Sllverites and attempt to drive a
bargain of some kind with the Demo
crats. The Republicans cannot hope
to control the senate until after March
4, 1897, independent of the Democrats
and Populists combined.
While the Republican house will be
powerless to enact new legislation or to
repeal existing laws, that body never
theless has resting upon It the grave
responsibility of adopting and carry
ing out, in so far as one house of con
gress can, the accepted policy of the
party the majority of the house repre
sents. The Republicans of the lower
house should pursue precisely the same
policy as If the senate and the execu
tive were politically in accord with
them. This congress Is confronted by
circumstances and conditions at once
grave and serious. The treasury has
been unable to meet the authorized ex
penditures of the government. The
secretary has been compelled to sell
bonds from time to time to
replenish the funds In the treas
ury, thus , greatly increasing the
Interst-bearlng debt of the court
try. rrom month to month the
deficit increases. 'What plan of relief
the president will recommend to con
gress is conjectural. It Is hot prob
able that his suggestion, if he makes
any. w)H. commend itself .to the Repub
lican house. HIS views are diametric-mllr'airtai-onlstle
to Republican 'policy.
This will only emphasise the duty of
the. Republican house. . The country
elected an overwhelming majority of
the representatives to the present con
gress as a protest against a continu
ance of the. policy of Cleveland and
the Democratic party. It follows that
upon the Republican majority Impera
tively devolves the duty. of Inaugurat
ing the change the country, demands.
If the Republican house cannot con
trol the senate and the executive it
can meet the expectations of the na
tion by passing such measures as the
present exigency demands and' throw
upon the senate and the president the
full responsibility of '.defeating them.
Th Republicans of the house will have
performed their whole duty when they
shall have passed and sent over to the
senate such bills as will bring relief to
the depleted treasury and enable the
government to meet its current ex
penses without still further increasing
the bonded indebtedness.
. The Republicans in tho house cannot
escape their responsibility and their
obligations to the country by the weak
plea that It would be useless to pass
relief measures as they would in any
event be defeated in the senate, or
vetoed by the president If they passed
th senate. The Republican house Is
not responsible for the nondescript
senate or the Democratic, executive.
Th Republicans In the house are an
swerable to the country only for the
record that body makes at the ensuing
session.
. W repeat, that the house should
promptly Inaugurate a thoroughly Re
publican policy and pass such meas
ures for the relief of the treasury and
of the country as It would if the senate
and the executive were In full accord
yrlth the house.
Geography as well as euphony and
fitness argue In behalf of a ticket like,
ay, Hastings and Evans. '
The Kodak in Politics.
The tectorial noster has already mada
Its way Into politics, hence we are
measurably prepared for the announce
ment In Pittsburg of an Intention to
introduce the kodak and the stercopti
con into the spirited municipal cam
paign about to be waged In that city.
The kodak is to be employed in the
takjhg of snap shots at" bad piece of
street paving for which th city was
charged an ample price;' and the stere
optlcen wtll transfer those scenes to
targe screens, and thus keep- them con
Utantly. before the voters' eyes.
Th Idea Is novel and ought to be t
fectlv. : There Is no just reason why a
'dollar event by a city should not pro
duce as good returns as 'a dollar es
injiiuvni MJ win vi wm tnty V T
sjiosca. fcUki&f alr eSowance tor

disposition by public boards or councils
of large contracts, the city ought
nevertheless to get very nearly It not
quite as much for its money aa a targe
Individual purchaser - of commodities
would get when operating on an equal
scale. The fact that in many Instapces
It does not simply means that careless
ness or crookedness or both prevail
somewhere along the line, with the re
sponsibility therefor ultimately resting
upon the voters themselves.
The municipal problem, in each and
every phase, simmers down to the sim
ple need of putting fit men into munici
pal office and standing by them when
they have been Installed. This Is the
nub and gist of each city's duty. It is
a fortunate reflection, by the way, that
the cltisens of Scranton expect next
February to -elect in Colonel Ripple a
mayor whose honesty, experience and
courage are doubted by none. The ex
tension of this standard to all our cities
would work quick Improvement in the
quality of' American municipal gov
ernment. . .
The fact that Ambassador Bayard
neglected on Thanksgiving Day to give
his crude and vulgar compatriots an
other rhetorical drubbing before his
blooming British friends is probably
due simply to an oversight and not to
any lack of caddish inclinations.
Mr. Cleveland's Opportunity.
Mr. Cleveland ought not to be above
the teachings of experience. No great
man Is so great that he cannot' learn
anything as the years roll by without
sacrificing his greatness. "Wise men,"
says the adage, "learn constantly; fools
never learn."
Mr. Cleveland probably is not a
Bourbon nor a fool, although at times
he appears to manifest some of the
symptoms of both. He is sufficiently
a man of ability and of adaptability
to., know by this time, If he be honest
with himself, that the tariff policy
which . he flrst advocated in 1887 and
ever since has. battled for the policy
of no tariff .for protection and very
Httl4 tariff even for revenue what
ever It may be in theory is tiot a whole
some American condition. The exper
imental test of his theory he can see
has precipitated grave disaster. It
has thrown hundreds of thousands of
his fellow-countrymen out of work; It
has closed for months many of our
formerly prosperous factories and
mills; It has scared capital Into hiding,
sent gold out of the country, emptied
the treasury, forced the sale of gov
ernment bonds upon terms of excep
tional hardayess and raised mischief In
general. It has been estimated that
the gross cost of this experiment has
been as much as if some supernatural
hand had two years ago, seized one
seventh of the total wealth of the
American people and flung it into the
sea, and this estimate it doubtless ap
proximately correct.
Mr. Cleveland has prepared a mes
sage to congress. It wtll doubtless be
presented to that honorable body on
Monday. One of the unavoidable sub
jects to be considered In that executive
letter of advice Is the subject of rev
enue replenishment, of undoing, as fast
as possible, some of the mischief which
the unfortunate Cleveland experiment
has occasioned. Report has It that
the president Intends to shirk his re
sponsibility. The gossips predict that
he will renew his former arguments in
favor of hlB mischief-breeding theory
and insist that the way to correct
the blunder Is to blunder some more.
We do not know how true these reports
are; but if Mr. Cleveland has either
present regard for his. countrymen or
the wish to occupy an honorable future
place In the esteem of historians, he
will cornmlt no such reckless error,' but
will Inptead manfully, toe the . mark,
confess his sins and throw himself
upon the Indulgent mercy of the court.
A course like this might Involve mo
mentary embarrassment and humilia
tion, but these are much to be preferred
to permanent disgrace.
Mr. Cleveland will gain nothing and
lose much by elevating obstinacy above
common sense In the matter of needed
revenue legislation. Can he afford to
continue his advocacy of a policy
which, within his own direct observa
tion, has brought on so much misery 7

A Picturesque Plot.
There is a refreshing lack of reserve
in the talk of the South Carolina convention-tinkers
who have Just con
cocted a plan to disfranchise the 140,000
male adult negroes In that state and put
the ballot In the hands of t&t state's
100,000 male adult whites, lS.OOOetf whom
are Illiterates. The authors of this out
rage readily aver their Intention, and so
far from feeling ashamed of meir work
seem really to be proud of it Witness
this extract from a dispatch from Co
lumbia summarising the constitutional
convention's labors In view of Its pros
pective adjournment next Tuesday:
"The convention could never have
been called had not most explicit prom
ises been given that these 16,000 Illiter
ate whites would be taken care of. How
to cut down the negro majority and pre
serve the vote of the white men and do
It In such a way as to run the gauntlet
of the federal courts was the difficult
problem which engaged the attention
of the convention, In which' there are
only six negroes. The suffrage article
of the new constitution provides for an
alternative educational or : property
qualification for voters. Any man who
can read and write or who pays taxes
on $300 worth of property has the right
to vote. Had the convention . stopped
there the illiterate whites would have
been disfranchised. They are provided
for In a clause which says that any one
who. cannot vote under either a prop
erty or educational qualification shall
be given the right to vote for life If he
can understand a section' of the consti
tution when read to him by the regis
tration nicer,'
la -other words, the South Carolina
local registration officer, and not the
constitution . of the United States, Is to
decide what constitutes American cltl
senshlp and-what dors not This Is a
decidedly bold aad Hcturesque stroke,
opening up beaatifol possibilities in
ease th white taemeelve should ever
dUCer la pcr-Jos and try. to work tie
understanding ohjhelr factional officials
so as to keep the other fellows away
from the ballot box. But we have a
suspicion that the Uihted States Su
preme court will yet have a word to say
on this subject a word, too, which will
be final. '
There Is reported to be a growing
sntlment in Luserne county In favor
of Congressman Lelsenrlng and Theo
dore Hart for delegates to the next Re
publican national convention. Mr.
Lelsenring's election Is regarded as a
certainty, and Mr. Hart's Is deemed by
good observers to be very probable.
The subject Is cot one for outside In
terference, yet It Is no more than fair
ness to Mr. Hart to hope that his long
and gallant service for the party may
be accorded this or some corresponding
recognition. He certainly deserves It,
better, perhaps, than any other Repub
lican In Luserne county.
The report via Philadelphia that
Congressman Lelsenrlng expects to buy
the Wllkes-Barro Record will require
a good deal of confirmation before It
can be believed. Such an expectation
would do credit to his taste, but it may
be doubted if the present owners of the
Record, who have made It what It is,
and who are Just beginning to realize
their loftiest Journalistic ambitions,
would care to dispose of their property
at any price.
When eighteen columns in one news
paper are devoted to a description of a
commonplace foot ball game between
two ordinary college teams, It Is well
nigh time for the rational fraction of
the American public to stop tho pro
cession and Insist upon an under
standing, According to "a member of the cabi
net," Mr, Cleveland "would accept an
other term reluctantly, and only be
cause he believed it to be his duty." The
American people, however, have no
wish to make a martyr out of him.
The Republican party Is embarrassed,
not by the scarcity but by the abun
dance, of Its presidential timber.
COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
Those Not Against Aro For Him.
Philadelphia Press: "There is at this
time In progress a particularly active dls
cimslon of the next United Stales senator-ship
from Pennsylvania. It Is not too
early. The present shape of the discus
sion Is wholly opposition to the reflec
tion of Mr. Cameron, as can be understood
from tha opinions of various Republican
newspapers reprinted from time to time
on tliis pave. Though It will be several
months before nominations for the legis
lature will be made, it Is well to have the
people fully Informed so that they will
be able to act with their eyes open when
It comes to the primary elections, for It
will be at the primaries that Mr. Camer
on will be defeated, if at all. It can be
taken for granted. In the existing condi
tion of our politics, that every candidate
for the legislature who Is not pledged
against Mr. Cameron will be for him. It
Is worth while to consider that some may
Sretend to be against him who are at
eart for him. If the present temper of the
discussion Is kept up there will be little
chance that the people can be misled.
They cannot fall to know Just what to do
when they go to the primaries."

Into history it behooves every American
citizen to either remain on American soli

POHTlSlwiiTS.
The friends of J. Bennett Smith, of
Kingston, are already urging him to enter
the Held as a candidate for the Republi
can nomination for the legislature in the
Third district of Luserne. Th present
member, Mr. Reese, has served two terms,
and Kingston claims the right to the
candidate next year. There are few men
In the district who would represent the
Seople more creditably than would Mr.
mlth. He has given his friends to under
stand that If he consents to run and should
be elected he will not favor the re-election
of J. Donald Cameron to the United States
senate. He holds to th very correct Idea
that the next legislature should elect to
the senate a man who will be a credit to
the great state of Pennsylvania and be
able to make a mark In the upper house
of the national legislature.
The Harrlsburg Urio'l IS not yet recon
ciled to the election of Judge 8mlth, and
now Insists that the letter's friends open
the ballot boxes to ascertain whether or
not there was fraud. The Patriot ought
to know. If It does not, that there Is only
one way authorized by law to examine the
contents of the ballot boxes. There must
be a conteat, duly Instituted according to
th forms of law. The friends of Judge
Terkes should either prevail on him to
conteat the elctlon of Judge Smith or they
should cease crying fraud.
Hon. Theodore Bart, of the Ptttston Ga
zette makes no secret of tha fact that he
would be pleased to go to the next Re-
(mbllcan national convention as the col
eague of Congresman Lalaandng. This
arrangement would give the upper and
lower ends of the Luserne district each a
representative, and shut out Wllkes-
If Hon. Thomas were as cer
tain of the presidential nomination as he
Is of his election as speaker of the house
next week, he would be the happiest man
In the United States. There appears not
to be the slightest opposition to hi eleva
tion to the speakership.
Pennsylvania ought,' to receive th chair
manship of two of th mora Important
committees of th bouse of representa
tive DalseH for chairman of the ways

the committee on poito Rices. Senator
Quay probably knows whether or not they

1NGALL9 ON GARFIELD.

rumors and whisper of Parnate In th air

W were talking; about the contest then
approaching, and agreed, considering tho
bitter rivalry among the aspirants, the
nomination of Qarneld appeared to be a
not Improbable outcome. Just at that mo
ment, by a singular coincidence, airfield
entered tho room. We called him to our
table and he Joined In our repast. We
told him what we had been talklnir about,
and jocularly tendered him our congratu
lations and best wishes for his success.
He made an embarrassed attempt at re
partee, but his tone and manner left no
doubt In my mind that the subject wits
neither novel nor repulsive to him. He
was a representative In congress. United
States senator-elect and a delegate to the
national convention an extraordinary ac
cumulation of honor, unique In political
history. As I recall that conversation It
seems lllco the Incredible climax of ro
mance that In less than eighteen months
he was nominated for the presidency,
elected, assassinated and entombed. I
was In college with Garfield, though not
In the same class, and our relations were
cordial and friendly. He was incapable of
intrigue, treason or Btrstusem, but his
temperament was emotional and ardent
and his sensibility was excessive."

From the Hallstead Herald.
We carefully wipe our pen on tho blot
terplace It In the rack stuff our feet
Into tho waste basket and tip gently
backward. Our work as an editor is end
ed. As we gaze through the window, the
warm autumn sunbeams cast their sha
dows soft and lovlnijly across the desk.
The paste pot, the scissors, the quill, boon
and faithful partners of every ehanglna
fortune, are before us. And as the danc
ing, rippling sunshine does ever change
and vanish, so do the awakening reveries
travel swift and slow through valleys of
memory. We still linger a moment. A
moment with thoughts of a year Jtis-t
closed. Our simple efforts for Hallsteud
and her people, while feeble, have been
earnest and honest our mistakes, those
of the head, not the heart. Hut, as Is truly
said, "The-past belongs to Ood; the pres
ent only Is ours." Again we gaze throtiKh
the window. The sun has sunk behind
the hills. The desk Is mantled In the sha
dows of twilight. We bequeath our pen
and all, to one worthier, better and nobler
than ourself. They have grown denr by
association, but will now serve a better
purpose. The dawning of another day
will bring us beneath the shadow of the
nation's capltol, where duty calls. . .
