REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.

fTo the Republican Electors of Pennsyl
vania: The Republicans of Pennsylvania, by
Ihelr duly chosen representatives, will
tneet In mate convention, Thursday, April
13, ISSHs at 10 o'clock a. m., In the Opera
House, city of Harrlsburg;. for the pur

representatives at large In congress ami

Secretaries.
Representation in this convention will
be the same as in the last atate conven
tion. The President's Message.
'As will be seen from the president's
Jnossage and the accompanying: corre
spondence; yesterday transmitted to
congress, the relations of the govern
ment of the United States with the
frovernment of Great Britain have In
consequence of the territorial dispute
between Venezuela and British Guiana
nd the interposition of this republic
With a request for arbitration, drawn
liear to a crisis. The correspondence
reveals that in reply to Secretary Ol
hey's upholding of the Monroe doctrine
M a reason for American Interposition,
the English premier, in language curt
and trenchant, utterly refuses to recog
nise that doctrine as possessing present-day
vitality, declines to submit the
claims of Great Britain to arbitration,
nd in substance warns this government
Hot to concern itself with a subject of
controversy in which it has no direct
Interest,
. In his comment upon this domineer
ing attitude President Cleveland rises
to a plane of dignified yet determined
'Americanism upon which we trust that
he will be enthusiastically supported by
Ms countrymen, regardless of past dif
ferences. His suggestion. In reference
to the assertion of" Her Majestey's gov
ernment that the Monroe doctrine had
fallen by the wayside of events, Is that
that doctrine is still "sound and strong,
because its enforcement is important to
eur peace and safety as a nation, and
essential to the integrity of our free in
stitutions and the tranquil hiaintenance
ft our distinctive form of government;"
and that it "cannot become obsolete
While our republic endures." And this
suggestion touches the keynote of Am
erican patriotism, and will not have to
Walt long for responsive proof of Its ac
ceptability. Dignified, too, is the executive's other
Suggestion, that, since Great Britain
has flatly declined to submit its claim
to impartial arbitration, he himself be
supplied by congress with funds for the
despatch of a commission to Venezuela,
to examine into the merits of that coun
try's boundary contentions, to the end
that If it be found that rightful Vene
suelan territory has been threatened
with appropriation by Great Britain,
the United States - may, "by every
means in its power," prepare to aid
Venezuela in her resistance. The message-,
strong and manly in every line, Is
(especially to be commended for its con
cluding paragraph, In which the presi
dent says: .
in making tnese recommendations i am
fully alive to the responsibility Incurred,
nnd keenly realize all the consequences
that may follow. I am, nevertheless,
firm In my conviction that, while It i a
leMreidi ttlnn 4r iinnil AVmrtljaitA t Vlaa 1 ttraft
IWfVHB V IB BB W WUHiMIJHWlS V vow
grsavt English speaking peoples of the
world as being otherwise than friendly
competitors In the onward march of civi
lisation, and strenuous and worthy rivals
In all the arts of peace, there Is no calam
ity which a great nation can Invite which
lqualft that which follows a supine sub
"fnlMlon to wrong and injustice, and the
consequent loss of national self-respect
svnd honor beneath which are shielded and
defended a people's safety and greatness.
In view of the gravity of the Issue
inus preseniea, u is earnestly nopeo.
and confidently expected that domestic
bolitical divisions will be brushed aside.
and the world at large treated to the
novel spectacle of 70,000,000 American
, citlsens standing together In complete
unison with their president and with
congress In the defense of a vital prin
ciple of American freedom. The Issue
concerns all Americans equally, and It
. Win unquestionably be decided In Am
erica's favor If the American people
throw Into fhs scales their united sup
port of this government's contention.
It will be noticed that for once Salis
bury's "bluff" didn't go. Mow watcn its

Aa Interesting Situation. ,
tn addition to getting itself cordially
detested by every, non-stockholding
Itlsen, because of unparalleled audac
ity In its mistreatment of patrons, the
Union Traction .company, or Philadel
phia's new "hog combine," now has a
wholesale strike of employes on Its
hands. As to the merits of this strike
we are not informed; we only know that
Some time ago the Union Traction cora
fany. although exacting double fares
jt inferior ssrvloe, tried to cut down
the already paltry wages of Its unfortu
nate employes; and It Is assumed that
the present strike is a consequence. If
the present difference Is not soon ad
Justed, the city of Philadelphia will
doubtless find its means of local travel
utterly gone; while the possibility, of
violence and bloodshed is ominously
prominent among the situation's perils.
From an outside and disinterested
standpoint. It would seem that the ar
rogant course of this evidently Ill-directed
company had proceeded quite
as far In the direction of contempt for
popular rights as public opinion ought
to tolerate. The Btreets of a city belong
to that city; nnd when a free grant of
them to a private corporation Is util
ized for the oppression of tne city and
for the Incurring of public dangers as
well as public Inconveniences, it appar
ently should be considered by the citi
zens of that city, whether, in the exer
cise of thulr paramount right of self
defense, they oug'ht not to take such
measures as will insure in thtt future
thulr safety and their welfare.
The manner In which Philadelphia,
traditionally the most American of our
great cities, will proceed to the solu
tion of this problem will be watched
with attentive Interest. It Is hardly
credible that the city which, more than
a century ago, rang the first chlmo of
political Independence will. In this sec
ond cii.tls, patiently submit to a new
species of taxation without representa
tion, nnd a modernized form of ty
ranny and oppression. It Is rather to
be believed that its strong American
ism will assert Itself In a form of re
dress which, while according to honest
ly Invested capital every fulr oppor
tunity, will effectually discourage the
recent tendency of certain Traction
corporations to operate upon the Van-
dcrbllt maxim: "The public be ."
Mr. Cleveland has got on solid ground
at last. More power to his back bone!
An Urgently Needed Economy.
The statement of Mr. Kemmerer be
fore the Hoard of Trade Monday eve
ning relative to the reductions In fire
Insurance premiums conditionally
promised to Scranton risks by the State
Association of Fire Underwriters puts
the proposition of a paid regular Are
department in the light of nn obvious
economy. By the accidental omission
in our local report of a clause in Mr.
Kemmerer'a statement. Its purport was
slightly confused; henre we now repro
duce the explanation In corrected form.
Olllters of the State association. Mr.
Kemmerer said, had assured him that
If the city of Scranton organized a paid
service, a reduction of 5 cents per $100
would be made In local premiums; an
other equal reduction would be made
if the city established an efficient lire
patrol; a third reduction of 5 cents
would follow the alteration of the pres
ent alarm system to a direct system;
and a fourth reduction, of 2 cents, would
be made for automatic boxes, making
altogether a reduction of 17 cents per
$100. Assuming that $-.0,000,000 of Insur
ance Is carried In Scranton, which Is
certainly a reasonable estimate, about
$85,000 would thus be saved on pre
miums alone, nnd a further reduction
of 1 cent per $100 has been promised
for each new steamer. . ''
The cost of the present volunteer
service may be ascertained from the
following statement:
Oty appropriation by estimates
committee, fiscal year 1895....$ 41,000
Sums transferred from other ap
propriations during year about 12,000
Sums raised by Are companies,
through fairs, donations, etc.,
about 20,000
Increased cost of premiums, be
cause of volunteer service,
about , 85,000
Total yearly con:, at present
about $138,000
The complete cost of an effective
paid service as estimated by
the special committee of the
Board of Tr ade, only $ 61,450
Total economy of a regular
puld service over present vol
unteer service, about $ 90,550
The difference between a paid regular
service nnd a volunteer service Is well
Illustrated in the familiar difference be
tween regular troops and raw militia.
It Is not a reflection upon the volunteers
to say that the very conditions of their
service In time of emergency prevents
the precision of workmanship and the
discipline obtainable from expert, paid
men who make such work their life
business. The rapid growth of the-city,
and especially the growing number of
large office bulldlnfij which, In the case
of fire, would Invite the most proficient
and hazardous service on the part of
the firemen, call for corresponding de
velopment In the municipal fire protec
tive system. The city has become metro
politan; Its fire risks are today on a
scale undreamed of when the present
volunteer servlci was organized, and it
is simply the logic of the situation that
the fire department should be made
metropolitan also. When,.; as a final
fact. It Is shown that such a forward
step would really Involve a direct sav
ing of money equal to almost $100,000
per annum, there remains. It would
seem, no tenable foothold of objection
Let councils act.
Salisbury probably made the mistake
of Judging all Americans by the char
acteristics of Bayard. '
An Excellent Investment.
Public spirited citizens of Scranton,
with a sense of numerous favors re
ceived, will no doubt readily respond to
the efforts of friends of Mr. John T.
Watklns to secure for his benefit a
testimonial fund, for the part payment
of his expenses while fulfilling his In
tention of studying In the Royal
Academy of Music, London, with a
view to fitting himself for opera, ora
torio and concert work.
Mr. Watklns has for many years been
-mo of tho mainstays of Scranton's de
votion to music. The work that he has
done In the organization of chorus
choirs would alone entitle him to sub
stantial public gratitude, for tn ad
dition to being a delightful aid to local
enjoyment and culture. It has also con
tributed materially to the promotion
of Scranton's fame as an elsteddfodle
center. But he has done much j more
than this. To all appeals In all direc
tions he has invariably responded
cheerfully and often without prLre, giv
ing freely of his own skill as a singer
and taking practical direction of the
preparation of programmes of music
that havd added charm to countless so
cial gatherings. He has not done this
with the intention of asking favors in
return; but now that his friends have
persuaded him to develop his undoubt
ed talent so that it may become of
greatest value to the public. It Is no
more than fair to ask that public, out
of the volume of Its indebtedness; to
contribute a degree of practical co
operation. A voice possessing the capabilities
which Mr. Wat kins' voice 'possesses Is
as much a public resource as is an ore
vein or a coal mine. The welfare of
the community Is benefited by its de
velopment even more than Is Its Indi
vidual owner. In this Bense aid contrib
uted to the present worthy purpose
becomes by bo means a charity or a do
nation, but a wise and Judicious Invest
ment, from which there Is reasonable
expectation of a most gratifying return.
If tho published reports of the treat
ment of Charles Durchek by fellow stu
dents at the Wyoming seminary be cor
rect, the incident would seem to open
to the faculty of that excellent Institu
tion nn admirable opportunity to ex
hibit its efficiency in administering
discipline. The mob spirit la bad
enough among rough and untutored
frontiersmen; it Is doubly reprehensible
union;? young men who, from their vo
cations as students at a Christian semi
nary, are with reuson supposed to know
better.
Salisbury hints that may be we think
England has no right to Canada. We
didn't Intend to call up thut point Just
yet; but since he has suggested it, the
fact may as well be admitted that there
is a kind of suspicion to that effect.
The Scranton Times.. In Its talk of
electing 41 Democratic mayor, Is amus
ing Itself chasing rainbows.
It Is consoling to think that should
the worst befall, there would no longer
be a North or a South.
WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
Tribune Bureau.
515 Fourteenth St., N. W.,
Washington, Dec. 17.
Since the withdrawal of Senator Cam
eron from the senatorial race Senator
Quay has been almost run to death by fel
lows who want to be his colleague In the
V'nited States senate. "Jack" Robinson
was the first to ask Quay for a helplmr
hand simply becauso he happened to be In
town when Senator Cnmeron Issued his
famous letter. Of course Qtmy hasn't told
anybody who he will support and the ruce
up to date Is a free-for-all one with no
handicaps.
One of the first senatorial candidates to
show up was ex-l.leutenant Governor
Wat res, of Lackawanna, county. The gov
ernor is a very astute politician and never
goes on political mission with a brass
bund at the head of the procession. He
does everything quietly. He dropped Into
town on an early morning train on Satur
day, Jumped Into a closed cab and was
driven to the resilience of Senator Quay,
where he spent most of the Seventh day.
JiiMt what satisfaction he got out of Quay,
of course, Is not dellnltely known. It is
said, however, that the senator didn't fail
to call the governor's attention to the non
combative policy pursued in the
late hunt for delegates in Lackawan
na, county. Governor Wat res, according
to current reports, promptly explained the
position he was placed In In that memora
ble light and asked Quay to forgive him.
Whether Wutres went away with or with
out the blessing of Quay I urn unable to
say at this writing.
Governor Watres departed In the same
quiet way thut he arrived.

A grandson of the 4a te Hon. John
Covode, of Westmoreland county, was ap
pointed a page In the house today upon the
recommendation of Congressman-at-large
Huff. The late John Covode was quite a
character In his day. He was a shrewd
politician, but not much of a scholar. It
Is cald that his chlrography and orthogra
phy were awful. That was excusable, for
in the duys when John was a boy the
schoolmaster was abroad from eight to
ten months out of the year. But Covode
was a wonder In his way and controlled
the political destinies of western Pennsyl
vania for many years. It was John
Covode who originated the expression "I
deny the allegation and defy the alliga
tor," which is to this day often made
by people Jiving In that end of the state.

Representative Coildlng, of the Fif
teenth district, is not a very "showy"
man, but he Is made of the kind of ma
terial that makes good congressmen. He
is a lawyer by profession, and has the
reputation of being a good one, too. He
is In his forty-seventh year.
Xational Chairman ifarrlty. who was
made grand dispenser of patronage In
Pennsylvania by President Cleveland for
his perfidy to Governor Paulson at the
Chicago convention In 1892. Is said to be
persona non grata at the postoftce depart
ment since Postmaster General Wilson as
sumed charge of that pie counter. During
Postmaster General Bissell's time all Mr.
Harrlty had to do was to furnish the
department with the name of the person
he wanted postmaster anywhere In the
state,, and he usually landed his man, un
lets there was too big a kick from the
opposition. It is different, quite different,
now. Postmaster General Wilson Is not
built upon the same plan as his predeces
sor, and he Informed Mr. Harrlty soon
after his Induction Into office that he rmist
not expect to dictate every appointment.
The terms of a large number of presi
dential postmasters will expire within the
next thirty to sixty days, and the
chances ore that Mr. Harrity's candidates
for a good many of them will be turned
down. Not only Postmnster General Wil
son, but President Cleveland himself be
lieves that Mr. Harrlty has had his share
of the spoils. The last time Mr. Harrlty
was In Washington he didn't call at the
white house as was his custom. Straws
are pretty good Indicators as to which
way the wind blows.
Marlon Butler, the 'junior senator from
North Carolina, is the youngest man, with
the exception of Henry Clay, who has
ever' held down a cushion In the United
States senate. Butler was only 82 years
of ago when he was elected, and will not
be S3 until next May. Henry Clay had
not reached the constitutional age of 30
years, and was not given his seat for sev
eral months after his election. The con
stitutional age of a representative Is 26
years and that of a president Is 35. Presi
dent Cleveland was 48 when first elected.
He Is now 59 years of age.' W. H. B.
