Election Day, Feb. 18.
A correspondi'iit of the Wilkes-Rarro
Hecord nominal) Clalusha A. Grow ro
senator to succeed Cameron. The mm
tillment is xntll uoervecl; but If we re
member correctly, Mr. Orow himself
Bald within a fortnight that under no
circumstances would he be a candidal
The City Convention.
That the ticket yesterday placed in
nomination by the Republicans of Scran
on will besuptalned by the people at the
polls is rendered certain by its unusual
ly high average of personal merit and
public fitness. At its head stands a man
who, whether as soldier or civilian, has
ever conducted himself honorably
bravely and like an honest man. The
people of Scranton, without regard to
class or race or creed, know through
years of Intimate acquaintance that
they can trust Colonel Ripple. They
know what kind of a mayor he made
before; and they consequently know
what to expect again. Of his associ
ates It Is enough at this time to say that
they are coneededly fitted for the trusts
for which they have been nominated.
In personnel, geography, party fidelity
and individual character these nomi
nees stand out conspicuously as types
of deserving which the citizenship of
this discriminating city will not fall to
recognize at the polls.
Theconvention.to be sure, was marred
by some show, of factional pique, for
which there was no Justification either
in fancy or In fact. But the conserva
tive Judgment of the party in this city
very certainly will not approve of the
eacrllice of majority rule becuuse that
kind of rule chunces to displease a few
overzealous adherents of a minority
cause; and It is Bate to expect thut this
bubble of personal chagrin will speedily
disappear before the breath of Inevit
able party repudiation. With this
Plight exception the gathering yesterday
was harmonious and enthusiastic; and
it requires no special gift of prophecy
to foretell that the ticket which is
placed in nomination will be elected,
on Februury 18, by the largest average
plurality ever cast for a municipal
ticket In the city of Scranton.
It is a fact worthy of note that though
this government had no olllclul word
to say in behalf of the tens and hun
dreds of thousands of slaughtered Ar
menian victims of Turkish misrule, it
has, by the destruction of some hun
dreds of dollars' worth of American
property in Turkey, been moved to send
a war-Bhlp and an ultlmctum. Truly
his financial nerve Is Brother Jona
than's sensitive point.
Mr. Cleveland will veto the new rev
riuue bill at his peril. Maybe he will not
care to take that risk.
The Nicaragua Canal.
A report has been sent out from
Vashlngton which, if true, may have
lmportart consequences. It is in sub
stance that the state department has
received advices from Nicaragua that
British interests are reaching out for
the control of the Nicaragua canal and
that the Ntcaraguan government is
being urged to rescind its concessions
to the existing American canal corpora
tion. It Is added that these advices
have been deemed by the state depart
ment to be worthy of careful considera
tion by the president himself, with a
view to their transmission in a special
message to congress.
While it is well, of course, to avoid
prem.ture alarm, it would surprise few
students of the Nicaragua canal prob
lem to find this report some day verified.
England's desire to have a large voice
In the control of that trans-isthmian
waterway has always been thinly
, veiled, and there is good reason to be
lieve that British diplomacy has for
years figured with this purpose clearly
In view. But recent events have been
such as to multiply many fold the anx
iety of the officials in Downing street
on this point. Secretary Olney's vigor
ous assertion of the Monroe doctrine
greatly Intensifies the importance of
the control of the Nicaragua canal in
the event of war; and this incentive to
English diplomacy 'is in turn strikingly
re-inforced by the menacing attitude of
European nations under the lead of
Germany In consequence of the Jameson
Invasion of the Transvaal.
With England In command of this
Important ship channel, she would not
only possess an incalculable commer
cial advantage over her European and
American competftonrfor South Ameri
can trade, but she would moreover, in
the event of war, whether with , any
part of continental Europe . or-the
United States, have at her command a
resource of simply Inestimable '.value.
The mere contemplation of this advan
tage as even a remote possibility
ought' td be sufficient' to' prompt the
statesmen of this country to be ready
to resist such a consummation with
every means at their disposal. It is not
probuhle that England would at this
time mnke any open progress In the
direction of trying to gain the mastary
over this strategic resource, for that
would be to call down a resistless storm
of protest. But that by the subtle arts
of diplomacy she Is feeling her way to
this end, under cover of secrecy, would
be neither surprising or improbable. It
would be simply characteristic; and
we should be deserving of no sympathy
as a nation if we permitted her to fool
us In so vital a matter.
It may be that under our deflclt-cre
atlng, bond-selling present administra
tion we are too poor to take the step
which prudence and self-preservation
immediately dictate; that is to say, to
dig the canal and maintain it as a public
work, with the United States govern
ment supreme and unchallenged in its
ownership of It and of sufficient land
on both banks of It to forever protect it
against foreign encroachments or inter
ference. But if this be true now, it will
not be true for long. The recent cor
respomleiice on the Venezuelan question
has at least done one thing of permu
nent value to American public sentl
ment It has shown that the ownership
and control of the Nicaragua canul are
Indispensable to the future maintenance
of Secretury Olney's dictum thut "the
United States Is supreme on the Ainerl
can continents and that its flat Is law.'
This once clearly understood, the rest
will come In time.
One disadvantage of licKing an enemy
by deed of mouth Is shown In Campos'
embarrassment since domes camped on
his trull. Tt looks as if Spain did her
boasting Wholly ona bluff.
I805 Among the Railroads
Encouragement -will be derived from
the Railway Age's statement compar
ing the year of 1893 among railroads
with the panic year, 1893. In the last
mentioned year seventy-four roads, ag
greguting 29,340 miles, and involving
$1,TS1,000,000 of securities, became In
solvent; last year only thirty-one roads,
with 4,)S9 mileage and $369,000,00!) of
securities fell under foreclosure. Two
of these thirty-one companies contrib
uted more than half the mileage and
more than three-quarters of the capi
talization. About 150 roads are being
at present operated by receivers, but
the sales and reorganizations are out
numbering the failures, and with the
increase of business proceeding at a
more rapid rate than the increase of ex
penses over the economies put in force
two years ago, there is every reason to
expect an early improvement

"The fact that in twenty years 643
roads representing 75,757 miles of line
and nearly $4,290,000,000 of capitaliza
tion, or 42 per cent, of the present mile
age and 40 per cent, of the present rail
way capitalization of the country, have
been sold out, with great sacrifice of
securities, Is,", says the Railway 'Age,
"rather appalling to contemplate, even
when It is remembered that In many
cases the same roads, have been sold
more than once and that the capitaliza
tion represents numerous duplications
of securities." One circumstance in the
Immediate outlook which lends em
phasis to hopefulness is the fact that
the agrarian antl-rallway movement in
several western and northwestern
states, with its Jumble of antagonistic
and Illiberal legislation, is on the wane.
Another Is the growing popular demand
for fair, yet stringent and uniform
supervision of railway matters by a re
constructed and invigorated Interstate
commission. When to these facts are
added greater honesty in railway man
agement and financiering, coupled with
closer supervision of officials' work by
shareholders, we shall be prepared to
chronicle very decided progress in the
matter of dividends.
The Philadelphia Press Is receiving
deserved congratulations upon the in
comparable manner In which it is these
days reporting the news of the world.
In addition to its usual news service,
which has no superior. It has estab
lished Julian Ralph as Its special cor-
resondent in London, has sent Colonel
George N. McCain, of the governor's
staff, to Venezuela, has located Wlliam
F. Mannlx in Cuba and has reorganized
its Washington bureau so that In rou
tine news and general political infor
mation It is unequalled. The dally dis
patches of Mr. E. J. Gibson would alone
keep the dumbest man well informed
on all issues of party and of statesman
ship. Added to these live special fea
tures, which do not begin to exhaust
the list, Is the fact that the Press, in all
its departments, Is a clean, enterpris
ing, conscientious and high-toned Jour
nal, not surpassed on this continent, if
in the world. The Tribune gladly fe
licitates it upon Its excellence and con
gratulates Pennsylvania Republicans
that they have at their command so
good a champion and so alert a pur
veyor of news.
An ingenious argument for non-par-
tlsanisrit In municipal affairs Is being
put forth by the Democratto organs In
Philadelphia, who care less for non-
partlsanlsm than they do for the pop
fdblllties of electing Democrats to eliy
ofllce; It Is tin almost Invariable rule
that when non-partlsanlsm is urged
upon a municipality capable of clean
government within party lines the sug
geatkm comes from a minority that
hungers for Installation In power, and is
correspondingly Insincere.
Contributions to the Armenian relief
fund, whether of money, provisions or
clothing, should be sent to Colonel II
M. Boies, the treasurer of the fund, who
will gladly acknowledge any form of
generosity. It is believed that the cltl
zens of Scranton will not wait to be
urged to the performance of so obvious
a duty of Christianity and humanity as
is Involved In the giving of Instant re
lief to the literally starving thousands
in Armenia.
Senator Murphy's political proteges
under the old regime were simply par
doned when they got Into conflict with
the law. The fact that they now have
to fall back on fake confessions is a
sign that times have changed.
In view of what the Kaiser has done
to dear old England, don't you know
the New York Evening Post ought to
lose no time in declaring war 011 Carl
Schurz.
Senator Hill's appearance as an apolo
gist for Grover Cleveland Is doubtless
upon the principle that since lecturing
gave out he had to do something for a
living.
In writing to the Kaiser that he must
withdraw that Kruger telegram.Grand
ma Victoria runs the risk of being told
a conventional piece of grandsonly ad
vice.
It Is a pity that Mr. Cleveland did not
make up his mind a couple of years
earlier to trust the people, Instead of
the foreign money-lenders.
The impression in Troy Is that Mc-
Gough's confession Is too clever by hau
and Trojans ought to know.'

THE TRIBUNE ANNUAL.
A Crcditnblo Publication.
From the Blnghamton Leader.
The Scranton Tribune's Annual for 1895
is not only a valuable handbook for ready
reference, it Is also a most creditable pub
lication from a mechanical point of view,
and one upon which The Tribune may
pride itself. Aside from the usual calen-drk-al
information, there is a great deal
of political and stslstlcal matter or gen
eral Intertst, and much miscellaneous In
formation that is good to possess. There
are also several art productions In half
tone. Tne Tribune s Annual is all right.
ELECT THE POOR DIRECTORS.
From the Scranton News.
The News approves and heartily seconds
the suggestion of the Truth that the direc
tors of the Scranton poor district should
be elected by the people. We have never
heard any sood reason advanced why nn
exception to the central rule should be
made as to this class of offlcluls. If it is a
goo.I thing to give the president Judge the
up!)ulmm-nt of poor directors, why not
gle him also the appointment of all the
other executive uiliclui.M of the city who
nave to uo with the levying, collection and
expenditure of taxes' Or, to put the cae
me outer way. tr the law giiex tne choos
ing of these other officials to the ueoule,
why should It not lve 'them the choosing
of the poor directors also'.' The lnelho.1
of appointment Is Inconsistent with our
general system, which Is so good u system
thut It should never be denurted from ill
any particular unless the, most pressing
anil weighty reasons for such departure
can be adduced. The law us It Is should
be repealed ami popular rights In this
