" la view of the deliberate failure of
the Scranton Republican to join this
paper in a pledge to support tho
nominee of the next Republican city
convention, regardless of individual
preference, is not The Tribune thor.
- t eughly Justified In callins itself "tho
only Republican dally In Lackawan
aa county?"
Its (The Scranton Tribune's) course
eras precisely like the venomous press of
New York toward Dr. Parkhurst and it
laudation of him now, at the same time of
its abuse of me, affords amusing susses-
tions. It has not wounded me; it has only
helped on the cause of righteousness. Men
who are committed to a bad cause never
learn the lesson that calling names, lnvec
tlve, insinuation only damages their
cause." Rev. Dr. Robinson, In the Truth.
. The evident wish of the pastor of the
Second Presbyterian church to pose as
martyr should not lead him to say of
this paper what is not true; anil the
Statement that The Tribune has
'abused" Dr. Robinson is false, War
ranted comment In a matter of vital
public Interest Is very differ
ent from personal abuse. The
Utterances of The Tribune con
cerning the recent police Inquiry
have been exceedingly moderate; com
pared with the great majority of press
comments upon the course of the ac
cusers In that trial they have been con
aiderate and even kind.
A Point Well Taken.
In commenting upon tho announce
ment that the Quay programme at St.
Louis would be to unite on the first
ballot upon a Pennsylvania candidate,
he Philadelphia Press assumes that
hla pftndldAte would be Onvemor H&st-
who, In fact. Is the only one who
couldcpncentrate the delegation; and
It adds: ''If there were a disposition
to present him in a spirit of fair play
and not simply as a device or as a
hollow compliment, it would be fit and
proper and would be worthy of the dig
nity and position of the state. But if
done at all it should be done In a
broad, generous and manly way, and
only In that way will it deserve consid
eration or exercise any salutary influ
ence."
The point is well taken. If it be
worth while to present a Pennsylvania
candidacy at all, it will certainly be
worth while to present it seriously and
In good faith, and to stick to it just
so long as there shall remain a pos
sibility of its success. Our common
Wealth is worthy of the dignity of sup
plying to the party, in whose arch of
states it is the traditional keystone. Its
presidential nominee; and to set up a
straw man, for knocking over at any
opportunity, would be simply to trifle
With the subject.
The Pennsylvania delegates at St.
Louis ought to be men who will neither
regard with levity the claims of their
commonwealth upon the party, nor
place the selfish Interests of any lead
er above the wishes and the dignity of
ine people whom they will represent.

: A Truce to Effeminacy.
It to now complained by some of the
Public men whose Americanism appears
to be of a spasmodic quality that the
feodge resolution defining the Monroe
doctrine goes to far. That resolution,
it win t8 remembered, was as follows:
nesoivea, That the congress of the
united states aeem It proper to assert as
principle in wnicn tne rights and in
terests of the United States are Invnlvp.i
(hat the American continents, by the free
sod Independent condition which they
have assumed and maintained, are hence
forth not to be considered as subjects for
xuiure colonisation - oy any European
powers.
Resolved, That we should consider any
attempt on their part to extend their sys.
tern to any portion of this hemisphere as
Dangerous to our peace and safety.
' The argument raised against this In
strument by Mr. Hill In the senate and
Mr. Bltt in the house Is that Its adop
tion would commit the United States to
resist any attempts at colonization upon
the American continents, whether by
peaceable methods or otherwise. It
would, as Walter Wetlman expresses
It, "debar Great Britain, France and
Germany from increasing their posses
sions In either America by Dut-chane.

is the clear logic of the situation. Un
less we accept the Monroe doctrine In
its widest and most general applica
tion, as a broad and inflexible principle,
we can give no adequate reason for
trying to uphold any part of It. Either
European colonies on American soil are
out of place or they are not. If it be
decided that they are, then It follows
that new ones cannot be tolerated. In
dependent of the methods of their for
mation. If It be held that European
colonies in the American hemisphere
are not out of place, then the Monroo
doctrine must be given up as a mere Jin
gle of speech calculated simply to tickle
the pride of rustics at commemorations
of the Fourth of July.
The fear of what Europe might or
might not do with this nation in certain
contingencies should be dismissed as
premature. The founders of this repub
lic did not ask Europe's consent when
they set up for themselves, nnd they
were very much fewer in numner unu
in resources than are their great grand
sons today. It is for the United States.
as the sovereign head of the chain of
American republics, to lay down Its
laws for the regulation of colonisation

affairs!

Matthews for President
The formal entrance of Governor Mat
thews, of Indiana, into tne neiu us
candidate for the Democratic presl
dentlal nomination is an Incident of in
torest. Governor Matthews is, from all
ner-niir.ts. a representative American
citizen, intelligent, energetic unu i.i
ti-iotle. During the Debs Insurrection
at Chicago he showed that he could
not be swerved from the course of duty
by thu fear of losing momentary popu
Inrlty. Again, when a gambling sn
dieate had fastened Itself on the state
at Roby and bodly deiled law and order,
he promptly accepted the challenge and
fousht the battle of law enforcement to
a finish, winning a complete victory.
The next that we learned of him was
his public recantation of the belief In
free silver coinage, of which he was
once a champion. He took in this mat
ter the very reasonable position that
against the overwhelming Judgment of
Intelligent and thoughtful fellow-clt
Izens fully as sincere nnd .patriotic as
himself,, he could not without egotism
oppose his own purely theoretical be
lief In unrestricted bimetallism. Very
recently he has again followed the cur
rent of public Bentlment by declaring,
quite unreservedly, in favor of Ameri
can recognition of the Cuban belliger
ents.
It might be Inferred from these ro-
marks that Governor" Matthews Is t
mere trimmer, covetoous of popular
applause; but In our Judgment such a
conclusion would do him an Injustice.
It seems to us that he has demonstrated
his firmness in emergency and may
therefore be credited with honesty of
purpose. The contrast which he makes
with the obstinate egotism of Grover
Cleveland, who, like the early Bourbon,
seems to be alike incapable of learning
or forgetting, is certainly agreeable,
There Is no reason why the Republi
can press should not do him full Jus
tlce. He is one of the few creditable
leaders left to the modern Democracy;
and if by any chance he should be elect
ed president, the country could at least
feel that It had gained an executive who
represented personal Integrity, fairness
and patriotism, if not the highest Ideals
of political wisdom. The nomination of
Claude Matthews is very probable. He
lives In a state and In a section which
his personal popularity might render
debatable ground; ho has many ad
mlrers throughout the Democracy; nnd
nobody else seems to be especially anx
lous to head the minority column.
Richard Mansfield announces that
next season he will not play for less
than $1,000 a night. There are several
preachers, teachers and good editors
who receive less than this for their
daily stipend.
Congress' Paramount Duty.
For the first thlrt'-en days In Decem
ber the treasury deficit, as officially
reported, aggregates $3,4r,".,6.'i7; while
for the five months and thirteen days
of the present fiscal year It amounts to
$19,324,964, without counting $18,000,000
additional which by a jugglery in the
keeping of the treasury accounts has,
for a time, been withheld from the
statement. In the most favorable light,
the annual Insufficiency of the present
tariff as a source of revenue cannot be
expressed by less than $CO,000,000, which
la $5,000,000 a month or over $192,000
dally, exclusive of Sundays.
There are, however, other charges
against the , Wilson tariff. For the
eleven months of the calendar year
ended with November the exports of
breadrtuffs. which Include barley, corn,
oats, wheat and flour, were nearly
$4,000,000 less than for the corresponding
eleven months last year. The exports
of cotton for three months were $8,000,
000 less than last year. The exports of
mineral oil were39,000,000 gallons less
than for the eleven months last year,
but owing tp the great Increase In price,
there was an Increase In the exports of
oil aggregating $14,000,000. The exports
of provisions for the eleven months,
which include cattle, hogs, beef pro
ducts, hog products, oleomargarine and
dairy products, tihow a falling off In
exports as compared with last year of
$13,000,000. In each of the principal
articles of domestic exports there has
been a falling off for eleven months of
this calendar year as compared with
last equal- In value nearly to $22,000,000.
In the face of these conspicuous facts
of official record," it Is clearly evident
that the Republican majority In con
gress will have to take forward action
in the direction of revenue replenish
ment. It cannot shirk Its responsibili
ty In this matter. The president, In his
recent message, assuVed congress of his
rioaira fn on.nnr.rofc Hth tt "In nerfrW.
Ing any measure promising thorough
and practical relief." Let congress take
the president at his word, and by pass
present Inadequate revenue tariff, place
upon his shoulders the responsibility of
continuing the present perlloua' crisis
oy a partisan veto.
Tne prediction of Bayard's friends is
that if congress passes a resolution of
censure, Bayard will resign. Most mea
would, under such circumstances.
An Interesting Benefaction.
The gift by Miss Helen Culver, of Chi
cngo, or 11,000,000 in anoutright, lump
sum to the University of Chicago, Is an
admirable instance of the growing Inclin
atlon among persons of wealth to de-
vote part of their accumulations to
noble purposes prior to their own death,
Miss Culver's gift Is doubly opportune,
Blnce under a recent pledge given by
John IJ. Itockafeller, It will Insure the
gift by that generous millionaire of a
companion million. With one of these
millions, a great school of medicine in
to be established, "as thorough, as bcI
entitle, as high in Its standurd, as valu
able In the degrees thut It will confer
as any In the world;" with the other
sum, the greatest lnuriim biological
station In the world will be established
and equipped, and a biological labora
tory founded second only to the Incom
parable one In Vienna.
It Is possible thnt more needy bene
fieluiles could be found for such a gift
than the University of Chicago, which
already has nn endowment fund of
several hundred thousand dollars for
every pupil In attendance. But there
teems to be a kind of philanthropic as
well as scientific law of gravitation
which attracts donations to Institutions
not in need of them nnd withholds them
from institutions whose usefulness is
greatly cramped by the lack of funds.
Such inequalities In the world of be
nevolence are simply parallels to tho
Inequalities existing In all other depart
ments of human society, and have to
be viewed In a philosophic spirit. It Is
something that our wealthy fellow cltl
zens are willing to give at all, even
though, in many cases, they do give, as
it seems, Injudiciously.
"In the light of the Scrnnton Tribune's
editorial this morning praising and laud
ing Dr. Parkhurst as he deserves, and
belittling what little I have done, a review
of tho course of a portion of tho public
press in New York, when Dr. Parkhurst
took his stand, is suggestive and refresh
ing. "Rev. Dr. Robinson's letter tn last
night's Troth.
Our reverend friend Is In error In the
thought that The Tribune editorial of
yesterday belittled what he has done.
Tlui editorial In question concerned
Rev. Dr. Parkhurst. If Dr. Robinson
Is conscious of a difference between his
work and the work of the Gotham re
former, that Is a fact over which The
Tribune has no control.
It may be the "silly season" in Amer-
let, as Bayard alleges; but it Is a form
of silliness that American ambassadors
would do well to heed.
It looks now as If Wllkes-Barre's op
position to Hazle county might come
home to roost.
Senator Gorman, It Is understood, will
retire only when certain old Bcores have
been settled.
Tho Quay idea seems to be first to
elect your president before filling his
cabinet.
In some men It could be forgiven, but
Bayard was certainly old enough to
know better.
WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
Tribune Bureau.
615 Fourteenth at., N. W.,
Washington, Dec. 10.
The newsDaner correspondents located in
Wash I nit ton are in politics heels over neau
at Dresent. The standing committee of
correspondents, elected on Nov. 30 last,
passed a resolution excluding legislative
and executive clerks engaged in news.
miner work from the press galleries.
Heretofore executive employes only were
excluded. This action was taken purely
as a matter or protection 10 corresponu
cnts who make their living (exclusively

rules of the senate promptly approved the
chnnKc In the gallery rules, end on Bat
urdav Sneaker Heed also approved It. Tho
new rule has naturally caused considera
ble adverse criticism among the corre.
spondents who. In addition to their reg
ular newspaper work, are on Uncle Sam's
pay roll as clerks to committees and con
gressmen. The large number of appll
cants to the press galleries this year
prompted the action taken by the standing
committee of the correspondents. Tho
congressional directory has heretofore
contained the names of upward of 2W
correspondents, but if the new rule had
not been adopted the chances are that the
number would have been more thun dou
bled this year. The house press gallery,
the largest of the two galleries, has only
a capacity of about ISO. So It will be seen
that the committee was wise In adopting
the new rule. It was a serious condition
and not a theory that confronted the
correspondents. Congressional clerkships
have a tendency to lower salaries of regu
lar newspaper workers, as the fellows
who are drawing down )100 or more per
month as clerks to members and commit
tees can afford to, and many of them do.
work for less wages than they would
think of doing If It were not for the gov
ernment Jobs they hold. Another point
made against the clerk-correspondents Is
that they are compelled to surrender their
Independence to a more or less degree.
Inasmuch as they are expected not to cri
ticise the members who secured for them
the offlceft they hold. Of course the new
rule knocks out a few legitimate corre-
pondents, but It more than makes up the
difference among the fellows who make
newspaper work a secondary considera
tion. Hon. 'Charles J.Boatner, the Louisiana
congressman, who haa challenged Major
H. Hearsey, editor of the Dally States,
f New Orleans, to a duel, Is well known
In Washington. He has served several
terms In congress from the Bayon state.
He is a man of averagn height, rather
heavy-set, weighs about 225 pounds, and
If about forty-eight years of age. Boat
net Is a mild-mannered man, and every
body who knows him would never suspect
him of possessing a belligerent spirit He
Is a man who haa very little to say either
on the floor of the house or on the streets.
He attends to his own business In his own
quiet way, and hla Washington friends
were greatly surprised when they learned
that he had embarked In the dueling busi
ness. ;
It is said that 'senator John Sherman
has already realised over $150,000 out of
his book. Senator Sherman la reported to
be very wealthy. He owns one of the fin
est 'residences In the fashionable north
west section of Washington, In addition
to a large amount of valuable unimproved
real estate' In various parts of the Dis
trict of Columbia. -

POLITICAL POINTS.
"There are those," writes Major Handy
to the Chlcairo Times-Herald, "who decry
Don Cameron aa simply a money-maker
and money-spender. They do not know
what they are talking about. Everybody
who knows him well ratea his ability very
high and values his friendship. Me is
thoroughly educated and wen reau anu
in the confidence of social Intercourse
converses fluently and with thorough com
mand of tverv subject about which states
men and men of the wprld are supposed to
be well Informed. A party man. he ai
wnva disregards party lines In his friend
ships, and his Independence ha: been dis
played many times, notably In his oppo
sition to the force bill and In his advocacy
of the free coinage of silver. Ho thinks
for himself, and once resolved nothing
can turn him. His retirement is attributed
to a falling out with Quay. Not improba
bly thnt has something to do with It.
Hut I hunuen to know that he has been
anxldus for a long while to get out of the
senate. If he were so inclined he could
give even Quay a lively tussle."
tot
Congressman C. W. Stone, of Warren, In
discussing the duty of congress In the
matter of tariff legislation very sensibly
says: "I do not tnttiK it wise to enter into
the work of revising the entire tariff, but
I would certainly take those articles off
the free list which are proper s'ubjects for
revenue and need proteotlon, such a wool,
lumber and many others, and put a duty
upon them. It would be necessary also,
in that case, to adjust the duties upon
woolen goods, and all articles connected
with those taken from the free list, so as
to preserve the proper relations between
them. It seems to me that we shall have
to try to do something."
tot
Pennsylvania is entitled to eight delo-
gntes-at-large in the St. Louis convention.
and some of the politicians who profess
a knowledge on the subject say that
United States Senator Quay has already
selcted four of he.m. They mention Cam
eron, Penrose, James McManes and Quay
himself. For the other four, Governor
Hastings, Jack Robinson, Samuel A. Dav
enport, of Erie, and Hon. Charles A.
Miner, of Wllkes-Barre, are regarded na
the probable selection of the April state
convention. It Is Quay's Intention to try
to keep both Martin and Magee out, If
possible
tot
Representative A. Nevln Pomeroy. of
Franklin county, has announced that he
will be a candidate for re-election. The
announcement was accompanied by the
publication of letters from seventy-eight
members of the house indorsing Mr. Pom
eroy'a candidacy, and asking the Republi
cans of Franklin county to return him to
the legislature on account of hla record
in his first term. Mr. Pomeroy is an
alert and Industrious young legislator, an
experienced newspaper man and an all-
round good fellow.
tot
The situation In congress Is well de
scribed by a new Republican member sent
by a district ordinarily Democratic. He
said: "What can I say to the people who
voted for me If we sit here all winter nnd
do not even attempt to pass tariff leglsla
tlon? To attempt and fall, either through
the senate refusal or the president'
veto, can be explained, but I uon t see
how we can explain a failure to even try
to pass It."
tot-
Senator Kauffman, of Lancaster, has
been writing letters to various members
of the state legislature asking them to see
or write to John anamnker and coax him
to be a senatorial candidate. The popu
far impression Is that Brother Wana
maker will not need much coaxing.
:o:
Senator Penrose, It is said, does not con
slier himself a serious candidate for
Cameron s seat.
