Fleet Ion Day, Feb 18.
It Is to be hoped tliat Mr. Scranton's
conversion to liurlty In itlitien will
exhibit HtayltiK iuulii U-s.
Put Up or Shut Up.
Within the )ut fi-w days there has
boon mure or less Reiicriil talk about
fraud at the recent Republican primar
ies. It Is true that these vaitue accusu
tlnns have emanated mainly from rec
ognized party wreckers, whose political
' character Is HUch as to throw discredit
upon anything which they may say.
Prominent unions thein is the editor of
the Scranton . Republican, to whom
political debauchery has been a life
pursuit, und whose present spasm of
lofty morality properly incites the
broudest derision wherever his record Is
known.
Nevertheless it is proper that these
charges should be put into legal form
and brought before the courts for ac
tion. In their present form they mean
nothing. Let them, therefore, be tnade
speeine. Only in this way can they
command attention and be sifted to the
bottom. The men who are engaged in
this promiscuous arraignment owe it
to themselves, to the party and to the
community to formulate their alleged
knowledge of corrupt practices in such
a way that they can be met in detail
before a recognized and open tribunal
of Justice. Anybody can indulge in
generalities. Anybody can cry "mad
dog." Hut such talk Is not evidence;
until sustained by adequate evidence
It is only slander.
The Tribune has not hitherto taken
notice of these diaphanous Insinuations
out of rpspect to the great mass of the
party rank-and-Iile, whom it believes
to be Incorruptible and above suspicion;
and in deference to the great majority
of vigilance committeemen, whom It
has every reason to believe are upright
and law-abiding men, to whom crook
edness in any form Is utterly odious and
abhorrent. Hut In Justice to the party
and to the party workers whose char
acter for honor and fairness Is thus
brought Into question, we must now
rail for the evidence. If It shall be
forthcoming, let those who are guilty
be singled out from those who are in
nocent; In other words, let there be a
lining up.
Our Democratic friends exhibit pru
dence In their talk of nominating a
"strong ticket." They will need one to
make any kind of showing against Rip
ple, Williams and W'ldmayer.
The Verdict of One Who Knowa.
At the recent meeting of the Ameri
can Historical society In Washington
an exceedingly thoughtful and Inter
esting paper was read by Senator Hoar
Upon "Popular Discontent with Repre
sentative Government." Some of the
striking points in that paper are ap
pended: "The llame of patriotism nev
er burned brighter In the breasts of our
people than It does today," said Sena
tor Hoar. "Not ulone does It burn
bright In the native born, but It has
spread Itself to those who have come
to our shores and breathed our free air.
Vet, when I consider the tone of the
press, of men of letters, and of gome
Writers of history when they describe
tier, I am sometimes astonished that
any American youth can love his coun
try at all. The newspapers are largely
the organs of one or another political
party. They represent the party to
which they are opposed, and especially
the leaders, as base, selfish and intrigu
ing. If these political organizations oe
base, and If the leaders are base and
mean, then are the American people,
base and mean. We are disturbed by
foreign criticism, by the contemptuous
utterances of the Saturday Review and
London Times. Is It strange that the
papers of the foreign countries should
adopt the opinions that are constantly
uttered by the metropolitan press? Is
there any offense of this sort in Lon
don which cannot be matched In New
york?" - - ,:: .
Continuing he said:
There are many fault-finders, men- who
ran see no gooil in anything ami always
look for something evil. If the critical
and fault-flncllng temper be not Jusillled
by the truth its effects must he infinitely
iriicchlevous and pestilent. There are two
classes of complutnts which mah a de
cided Impression on good men. First, the
complaint of what Is called "Party spirit,"
and, second, the Impotence and the slow
ness, tlcklenpss, and the Inefficiency of
legislative bodies. The man who conscien
tiously acts with Is party is a truly Inde-t
pendent in politics as the man who, ac
cording to Lord Dundreary's proverb,
flocks by himself." The man who sur
renders his opinion to that of the organi
sation to which he belongs, honestly be
lieving that he can best serve th public
welfare in that manner, is doing right.
There must be concert of action and agree
ment of support to pass any measure 'or
elect any candidate, be ha-good or bait.
In supporting candidates for office it is
good to narrow, not to allien the field of
controversy between different political
parties.
Senator Hoar then told of the opinions
foreign historians held of America, and
of their words of condemnation of our
form of government. .
I am willing to compare our represen
tative government at its worst with any
monarchic government under which the
authority of the monarchy is really felt, in
supremacy over the expression of a rep
Bciitcil and controlling popular will, at its
best, ami risk everything thnt I hold deur
ami precious on the result of the compari
son. It is a very serious question to any
American, whether his love for his coun
try is a sentiment which has Its root and
It foundation In a sound respect and
honor. If It true, as the critics of thu
London Saturday Review and of the Lon
don Times, and their New York imitators,
are tilling us from day to day, that these
representative governments of ours are
but an aggregation of base men, seeking
base, personal ends, governed by low und
sordid motives, ami that this condition of
things ia growing from year to year worse
ami not better, then our country is not a
rlt object for love. You cannot be grat3
ful to the Fathers who have bequeathed
to you these institutions, und you cannot
hope for the children to whom you will
deliver them.
Eut In closing. Senator Hoar paid a
hljth tribute to the character of the men
vtiio legislate for the country, stating
that his remarks were based on an in
timate acquaintance with the majority
of them during the hist thirty years. He
sabl that there hu.'i been a steady In
crease In the number of men who come
tti congress to work wholly for the best
Interests of the country at large. "I
believe," said he. "thut the conduct
of public affairs Is growing better, pur
er und wiser from generation to genera
tion. I lie lleve that in the main the mo
tives by which our public men are
governed In the administration of na
tional, slate and local affairs are honest
nnl upright. The pure and lofty emo
tions are ever the great und over
mastering emotions."
This is the verdict of one of our old
est and most experienced senators. It
is based on the observations and the
experiences of a lifetime passed In the
very thick of political strife and in
trigue, beneath the glare of the culmin
ating forces of American politics. At a
time when many persons affect to be
lieve .that things In this country ure
swiftly going to the bad, it Is well to
ponder the remarks of Senator Hoar.
Senatorial courtesy which euuules
one or two extremists to hold up the
entire business of the, senate at will
Is u species of polite nonsense which
will one of these days have to give
way. The senate needs a vigorous dose
of Tom Reed.
The Common Sense of It.
' Calm reflection Is doing1 Its work
among many of the recent supporters of
the unsuccessful Republican ticket in
this city. Disappointment at defeat is
only imtural; among honest champions
It Is a proof of sincerity. No true Re
publican on the side which won in Tues
day's convention will care to begrudge
to those who lost this entirely human
symptom of their proper enthusiasm,
or will seek to aggravate It.
lint personal disappointment affords
no excuse for party treachery. If de
feat In convention be accepted as Jus
tification for desertion at the polls, then
political parties would soon cease to
exist, and in their plare we should have
simply guerilla politics and chaos. Poli
tics is essentially a game of give and
take. The man who cannot accept both
sides of the pastime will eventually find
himself regarded as not much of a man.
The talk of bolting at this time comes,
we believe, from men laboring under
excitement. They expected to win. In
stead, they lost. Rut that will not af
ford a sufficient basis for asking the
party rank and file to follow them Into
Independent paths. Common sense
should be listened to in this affair. The
utterance of wholesale accusations un
supported by proof should be Ignored.
A little reason Is all that Is required to
adjust the whole matter.
Then, if the hotheads wish to flock
by themselves, let them go.
It will be noticed that the latest story
of Cuban defeat starts out with a Span
ish date line.
Some Statistics of Crime.
The Chicago Tribune has for several
years made a specialty of statistics re
lating to crime, notably capital crimes,
tin New Year's day it printed a tabu
lated review of the old year's criminal
lolngs, from which we extract the fol
lowing summary:
Murders. Suicides. Lynching.
1894 H.80O 4.912 190
Jt" 1o.r,0f 5,7f,! 171
ls'Xl (Win 4.43S 2UU
112 ,7M :i,8 Bi
18!tf fi.SHJ'. 3,331 W2
18!H 4.20 2.U40 127
This showing In respect to lynchings
Is quite gratifying, when we remem
ber the Increased provocation, oi the
lynchings in 1895, 144 occurred in the
South, the victims in 32 cases being
whites. But when we learn from the
Tribune's recapitulation that as against
lO.fiOO murders and 171 lynchings for
1S95 there were only 132 legal execu
annulhnent of their charter would be a
tlve system becomes vividly apparent.
Whether In 88 cases out of 89 the law
failed to punish murder properly, or
whether the trouble Is due to the meth
od of punishment resorted o in the
89th case, will be left to the penologists
to determine. At all events, It Is ano
malous and disgraceful that only one
murderer In S9 should receive, In our
courts, the maximum penalty provided
for his crime.
It Is apparent that the Kaiser's
Transvaal dispatch Is only a pretext
for war. That two Christian nations
should fly at each other's, throats sole
ly because the ruler of one or those
nations congratulated the victims of
one of the other nation's roving bands
of free booters upon their escape from
confiscation Is a palpable absurdity.
The fortification by England of the
Guiana boundary line, while .strictly
within her rights, is a bit of bravado
exhibiting. Just at this time exceedingly
bad taste. If England Is wise, she will
not . trifle -with the Venezuelan buzz-
A popular bond sale, to reach the peo
ple, must be a sale of bonds at their
face value in small amounts, at places,
like- the various postoftices, which are
accessible to the people. The present
popular loan Is popular in name only.
: .The English ambassador at Washing
ton. Sir Julian Pauncefote, having; Just
bested a burglar who broke Into ..i.ue
British embassy, Is doubtless In a mood
to sympathize with Venezuela and
Transvaal.
Cllve us a Republican president and
senate, and the bond question will
cease to be an Issue of imtortunce. The
Republican way is to pay oiT, not pile
up. the national debt.
The Kaiser evidently has his fighting
boots on. The chances therefore are
that England will bluster awhile and
then back down.
The senatorial question in Pennsyl
vania seems to be taking a day oii. Is
it because Quay Is away?
POLITICAL POINTS.
The Republicans of Luzerne are united
In their purpose to send Congressman Lvi
senring as one of the district delegates to
the. national convention, and will do their
level best in the state convention to have
Hon. Charles A. Miner chosen as one of
the lelegates-nt-larne. There Is a rattling
contest for the Second district delegate,
tha aspirants being Colonel William J.
Harvey. Theodore Hart anil Morgan H.
Morgans, with possibly some dark horse
to b- entered. It is said that the dclraies
from Cur boil, Montour, Columbia und Wy
oming will be likely to unite with Luzerne
in auppjrt of Mr. Miner for delegale-ut-large.
There will lie lively times In Lancaster
county preyenily when the Republican
hold their prlimirics to nominate local can-dl!aU-
and dele. ilea to the state and na
tional convention". In Lancaster lh?-e
nominations ure tnade by popular vole di
rect for the cumlidutes, ami more voles
are usually polled tliun at a presidential
election. If the Scrunlon Republican were
published there it would doubtless allege
thut the excess votes were cusl by Demo
crats. Lieutenant (lovernor Lyon, who might
reasonubly be supposed to cherish guber
natorial umbllloii, has Informed some of
his friends that he is not a candidate and
will support Congressman William A.
Stune fur Kovortior in IMW. I'nless Sena
tor yuuy changes bis mind dining the next
two years he will ulso supuort Colonel
Stone. Two years, however, is a long time
In politics und many changes may occur.
The announcement that ex-Senator I'latt
hus no expectation of being able to nomi
nate (jovernor Morton for president will
not surprise any one. Very few people
have at any time believed thut Mr. I'latt
wanted Morton nominated. What lie
wunts is a New York delegation that will
obey orders and vote us they ure directed,
without being too inquisitive as to the
whys und wherefores.
There ure symptoms of Itepublican peace
In Philadelphia, yuuy and Martin are on
speaking terms now und may yet shake
hands across the bloody chasm. II is
about time inut the Republicans of I'hil
udelphia get together. Since the war be
tween the factions the Itepubllcun majori
ties have been Increasing so rapidly in that
city as to almost wipe out the Democratic
party.
Schuylkill county has three common
pleas Judges, but she might Just us well
have only one, inasmuch as two of them
are hopeless Invalids und cannot perform
their duties. They refuse to resign and an
attempt is to be made to compel them to do
so. This incident supplies the Philadel
phia Press with the text for a strong ar
ticle in favor of a law pensioning Judges.
The New York Evening Post, the only
ultrii-Iirltish puper published in the
I'nited States, has soured on Cleveland
since he gave vent to his Venemela mes
sage. Previous to that the Uvenlng Post
divided Its smiles about equally between
Oreat Hrltain and the president, now it
has smiles only for the former and frowns
fur the latter.
Governor Morrill, of Kansas, declares
that Prohibition is a failure in that state,
that the law prohibiting the sale of liquor
cannot bo enforced. This will be the sig
nal for a violent attack on the governor by
the Prohibitionists all over the country.
They have no patience with a man who
says. Prohibition laws cannot be enforced.
If President Cleveland were only able to
exercise a little Influence over a few
Democratic senators it might be possible
to enact legislation for the relief of the
treasury without Increasing the national
debt. The Republican senators are willing
to do this, but there are not enough of
them.
It has been alternately announced that
the present session of congress will b a
short and a long one. These announce
ments have not been made by the members
of congress they haven't the least Idea
w hether the session will be long or short,
and they will not know until aume time
next summer.
The average Democratic leader tries to
be patriotic one day of the year the day
when he celebrates what they cull "Juck
son Day." If Jackson were alive be
couldn't be a Democrat without being glar
ingly Inconsistent. Rut you couldn't make
a Democrat believe thut.
New York hopes to secure the next Dem
ocratic national convention and is work
ing hard for It. For once Hill und Cleve
luml ure In accord. Both favor New York
us the place for the convention, and both
will contribute money to secure it.
The New York Sun Includes our Sena
tor Cameron in its lisl of "green goods
statesmen." Pennsylvanlans ure no lon
ger interested In Senator Cameron; they
seem to be Indifferent to what he does or
leaves undone.

and various other valuable and Interesting
matters.
A CREDIT TO THE CITY.
From the Carbondale Herald.
The hustling metropolis of the anthra
cite coal Melds hus many things of which
It run be Justly proud, but none of its Insti
tutions reflect more credit on the city of
Scranton than does its board of trade. It
l Justly celebrated throughout the country
for its successful methods in building up
the Industries of the city. It never tires lu
the work and no sooner Is one project ac
complished thun another Is under way.
Indeed, It is never content with doing olio
thing at a time, but generally has two nr
three Important mutters in hand lit the
same time. It Is now announced that in a
short time five new Industries will be es
tablished at Scranton through the etforts
of the board of trade. The secret of the
success of this body is not alone in Its or
ganization or the personality of its otlieers,
but it lies in the fact that it is heartily
supported by the people of Scranton, both
by moral and flnancal aid. It Is the very
embodiment of the Scranton spirit, which
Is progress. It is a representative Scran
ton body of which Scranton can be proud.
ALMANACIA.
The Philadelphia Times almnnac, Ilka
the excellent newspaper by which It is
published, studies the urt of condensation.
It Bives all there Is to be given In such a
work without wnsti of time or space.
The Issue for ISM. which has Just been
received, supplies an eloquent illustration
of this rule. It could not be made neuter
or more compact. It Is a striking testi
monial to the skill and the patience of Its
compiler, Mr. William H. Zeller.
The almanac issued this year by the
Wllliumsport Sun contains on Its first
page a good picture of the Sun's hand
some new home, und on the Inner pages
such well-unanged Information as one
would expect in a product of so enterpris
ing a newspaper.
AN UNWISE PROCEEDING.
From the Wllkes-Barre Record.
The bolt of the Molr delegates at the
Republican city convention in Scranton
is an unfortunate occurrence and one
that reflects no credit upon the bolters.
The Ripple men had a clear majority In
the convention and would have undoubt
edly nominated their ticket, had not the
minority raised the olU-fashloned objec
tion that many of the Ripple delegates
had been elected by Democratic votes.
The best thing the bolters can do is to get
into line for the regular ticket and help
to elect It. In this Republican year there
thoul.i be no divided council in the
party. .
Colosiul Ignornnea.
From the llufialo Kx;iress.
A woman called to testify before a cor
oner's jury in New York on Wednesday
appalled tnat body by declaring that she
didn't know where she lived. This wasn't
a marked sign of Ignorance, as It after
ard proved. She next was asked If she
knew the name of the city. She did not,
nor could sho tell what country tills Is.
The coroner, holding a Hlble. asked her
what book It was. "I don't know." tne
woman replied. "Kver hear of the Itible?"
he asked, flhe had not. Nor had she ever
heard of Jesus Christ. This was Igorance
dense enough to merit a place on the Jury.
That was full, however, and the wonAn
was excused.
The General Opinion.
From the Rochester Post-Express.
It is to be hoped no one will move a
reconsideration of Don Cameron's decis
ion to retire from the senate of the United
Slates.
A Very Small Split.
From the Wllkos-Darro Recurd.
The split In the Republican ranks in
Scranton has turned out to be a very
small split after all.
