The Right Kind of Liberality.
A imwlutf in'olilem was approached
in tin- proper spirit last owning when
several ladies and jtentlemen of this
city decided that the most eloquent
manlier In which to express their ap
preciation of the work or the Home for
the Friendless was to bind themselves
to pay certain sums of money Into tne
fund for n new fireproof buildiiiK- A a
result of ihelr deliberations. $s.0()u was
rdedRcd; and It is believed that this Is
only the beginning.
Tl-'i money, it Is well to distinguish,
I for the purpose of completing the
new Home, foundations for which have
already been laid In the vicinity of the
Oral school. It doe not affect the more
Immediate question of the Home's main
tenance prior to the completion of the
contemplated new building. This latter
question, too, has gained greatly In im
j:ortance since the recent lire: anil it
should not be overlook d by the com
munity. If the men and women of
wealth in this city will agree to provide
the means for the new building, the esti
mated cos; of which In now ?M,000,
surely the larger number of Serantor
ians who are in moderate circumstances
the great middle class, so to speak
ought to be equally prompt to rally to
the support of the Home in Its less ex
pensive but more proximate needs.
For this purpose we have established
The Tribune Fund. It offers a conveni
ent m.-ans of bringing this live local Is
sue home to the people. Inasmuch as
the Home Is conducted for the benefit
of the entire community, without re
Ptrlctlon as to race, class, sect or creed,
there would seem lo he reason in the ex
pectation that all classes of our citi
zens will see the propriety of coming to
Its assistance, now that it finds Its use
fulness doubly crippled by scarcity of
funds and by Are.

Senator Quay has repeatedly, ex
pressed himself In favor of the selection
of Theodore Hart, of Pittston. as one
of the Hcpublicnn national delegates
from Luzerne. It will therefore soon be
possible to gauge the senator's Inllu
ence In the mother county.
Time for Vigorous Action.
Every person with healthy instincts
will hope that the senate of the fnited
States will be speeded In Its purpose to
make an earnest appeal to the signatory
powers to fulfil without further delay
their long-shirked duty toward Turkey.
The proffering of such an nflielal re
quest Is the very least that this gov
ernment can In decency volunteer in be
half of humanity and civilisation. The
proved facts of Turkish barbarity in
Asia Minor, not to mention the Porte's
last Insult to Christian charity em
bodied In Its Impudent refusal to permit
the distribution of relief among Its
famine-stricken Armenian victims, are
amply sufficient to justify far more posi
tive action.
. We believe It is within bounds of
truth to 8ay that the sentiment of the
American people. In view of civilized
Europe's past indifference to the atroci
ties In Armenia, would sustain this gov
ernment in an independent step in the
direction of suppressing Turkish mis
rule. Past hesitancy on America's part
has been excused on the plea that it is
the traditional policy of the United
Htatos to avoid entangling alliances;
but if human lives to the largest num
ber on the records of modern martyr
dom are to be offered up on the altar of
an American tradition, then the vigor
ous manhood and the still more vigorous
morality of the American people should
rise In temporary abrogation of that
tradition, obedient to the supreme taw
of Christianity.
Let us remember what Henry Nor
man, who speaks from personal Investi
gation, says concerning the Turk's lat
est action: '
"I am not surprised at the attitude of
the Sultan In this matter. The Rulturi of
Turkey la working out his own reforms in
Armenia, ami he la doing It in his own
way. He does not want the civilized world
to know what he Is doing, and the en
trance of Red Cross missionaries Into his
country at this time would reveal the aw
ful conditions there. They will send word
that would cause every civilised nation to
rise against him. 1 make the statement
advisedly when I say that the Sultan
of Turkey Is effecting his reforms in Ar
menia by murdering those who Oppose
him, and reducing to such a state of ter
ror those who fear to oppose him that
they are no longer human. I could tell
-tale about the country that people would
not believe. Wanton and premeditated
butchery Is going on all the time. The
Hultao make pretensions, but does noth
ing. I believe that before he has put an
end to his so-called reforms In Armenia
be will have murdered one-fourth of the
Inhabitants. - Miss Barton- could com
mand the ear of the civilised world. She
Is a woman who has a record for truth
and whose statements are to be believed,
ar.il they would be acted upon by Atnerl-i-ans
and Knulish speaking people. Xo
wonder the Sultan if A not want her In 'he
country und barred her out. The Sultan
eannot tie condemned too seriously, for he
knuws all that Is going on."
The blood of these martyrs will be on
our heads unless we do all in our power
to prevent their massacre.
The .Democrats having adopted one
of the Scranton Republican's resent
editorial slanders as the chief plank In
their platform, it would seem to be no
more than fair for the Uepubllcan to
support their ticket.
The Democratic Ticket.
It Is no disparagement of the gentle
men yesterduy nominated by the Dem
ocrats of Scranton to say that, should
they accent, which point is not yet set
tled, not one of them could be elected.
Personally, the nominees are, In the
main, men of standing In the city and
would, if successful, no doubt make
creditable otllcials. It Is true that Mr.
Halley. the nominee for mayor, has been
a resident of the city for scarcely a year;
but for many years he has been engaged
in business in Scranton, and thus we
supMise lays claim to a knowledge of
the city's needs such as couid hardly be
obtained during a single year's direct
ucquaintunce with municipal aft airs, it
Is said,, however, upon good authority,
that Jlr. Bailey will not accept this
nomination.
The best known nominee nn the ticket
Is Mr. lioland, who has tried for sev
eral days, unsuccessfully as It finally
appears, to delegate the sacrificial func
tion to some one else. Mr. Roland can
derive encouragement from tho fact
that, having been beaten Tor city treas
urer three years ago, the experience of
defeat next month will not be new to
him and therefore can be approached
with a fair measure of resignation. As
for Mr. KobhiHon, the nomination of
him for city controller was made against
both his oral and his written orders,
and It Is rensonubl to infer that he will
decline to be dragooned into what can
readily be seen to be a prolltlesd hazard.
Insular aa our Democratic friends
have built hope upon the prospect of
Itepubllcun disaffection they will be dis
appointed. A few guerrilla Republi
cans may here and there draw away
from their party ticket, but such loss
wilt be more than tenfold regained by
accessions from the Demucrncy of men
who realize that the opportunity to se
cure another administration by Mayor
Hippie anil by the worthy gentlemen
who are associated with him on the Re
publican city ticket Is not to be wasted
because of lightly drawn party lines.
Health s. the groat mass of Republicans
are rapidly drawing together for a bat
tle royal: dissensions are healing and
breaches lessening; and it will not be
long before tho enthusiasm of which
the Republicanism of Scranton is cap
able will be fully and effectively
aroused.
Yesterday's nominations will, how
ever, have one good effect. They will
convince all true Republicans that it
Is now time to lino up.
The local Democracy must be some
what suspicious of Its own loyalty,
when In Its platform, it twice pledges
Itnelf to stand by Its own nominees.
Will History Repeat?
Joseph Henson Foraker, the new sena
tor from Ohio, has, so far as the country
at large Is concerned, been a much-mls-understood
man. Because he Is a
whole-souled, straight-out, virile man,
unafraid to speak bis conviction and to
stand by It when spoken, he lias been
profusely misrepresented. Pert para
graphers have called him a "fire
alarm" statesman, which is true inso
far as that he has the courage to sound
an alarm whenever one In his judgment
is called for. He has also been depicted
as an effusive, Impulsive, llght-wltted
Individual, wherein he has again been
grossly muligned. But through all these
persistent variations of falsehood his
friends and neighbors have known him
for a brilliant, fearless, honest gentle
man, true as steel In his friendships, the
soul of probity In his business relations,
and a patriot clean through. They have
known him ns a whirlwind fighter when
there Is lighting to be done, but also as
a magnnnlmous and chivalrous antag
onist when the fighting was over; as a
leader who despises affectation, pre
tense and poses, but as a man to stay
by real merit to the crack of doom; In
short, a first-class specimen of the na
tive American at his very best.
These friends have never felt very
much uneasiness concerning the shame
ful manner In which the real Foraker
has been distorted upon the screen of
political journalism, for they have be
lieved that sooner or later a man of
his positive and substantia! qualities
would find his rightful level. And In
yesterdny's action of the Joint session
of the Ohio legislature they discern
ihelr own and his vindication. With the
exception of Brlce no unimportant man
hus for the past fifty years been sent by
Ohio to represent it In the United States
senate, and even Rrice Is a wonderful
man in his way. The election of Oen
eral Foraker to this position, in the face
of the superabundant factloulsm with
which Ohio Republicanism Is be
plagued, has come, not by chance nor
by any amount of political engineering
it has come in response to a sweeping
wave of public opinion, the opinion of
nine Ohioans out of every ten, the opin
ion of those healthy Individuals who al
ways take stock in men of bones and
brains and blood.
It is as possible as was Garfield's
nomination in January, 1S0, that Jo
seph Benson Foraker will not qualify
as a senator of the United States be
cause of a call to become president, In
stead. The worst danger that we see to the
OIney presidential boom is the fact that
the New Tork Sun supports it.
What Are Governments For?
Contrast Turkey's refusal to permit
a handful of women to distribute relief
funds among the 350,000 starving Christ
ians In Armenia with the following in
cident described from personal knowl
edge by Miss Jessie Ackerman, a young
Washington lady who recently returned
from Turkey, to which country she had
gone as a missionary. We quote from
the Washington Post:
Miss Ackermann told of a young Arme
nian couple, who, with their parents and
their baby, were driven away from tbeir
home. The wife and child went along a
road, while the husband was caring for
the aged parents. She was overtaken by
Turkish soldiers, one of whom bayonetted
the babe In her arms and then tossed the
dead body from soldier to soldier, each
brute trying to catch it on his bayonet.
The mother made u trantle Hi hi. but wa4
overpowered. As she was a beauty und
tine ot form, the soldiers derided to paw
her life a:id hold her fur a herein slaw.
By the Luvakii.it of her xlr.l'.e tier him of
gold dropped, and In the Heramhle the sol
diers made for the coin she managed to
escape, and later rejoined her huxlwlid in
the mountains. This couple are now with
Lady Henry Somerset.
And yet the powers of Christendom
take no steps In this matter, and the
forelsn affairs committee of the United
States senate declares that It "will not
indorse a display of force in Turkish
waters." What tire governments for?
The rcnominatlon of Select Council
man Lansing In the Seventeenth ward
last evening Insures the retention in the
upper branch of councils of n most ef
ficient and well-equipped member. The
need has long been felt in this city for
councilmen of Mr. Lansing's stamp; and
the city is to be congratulated that he
has consented to continue to render it,
at personal sacrifice, liberal-minded and
Intelligent service.
The Nicaragua Canal Endangered.
Further information concerning the
reported efforts of British capitalists
to gain possession of the Nicaragua
(until leaves little doubt of the correct
ness of the earlier rumors to this effect.
It Js paid now with directness of testi
mony that a rich Kngllshman named
Morgan, representing a syndicate of
British capitalists, which nlready hns
control of most of the rail and eanul
ways In Xicarnrrua. has recently been
suggesting to tho Nlcaraguan authori
ties that the United States ami the
Nicaragua Canal company are alto
gether too slow In their work upon the
trans-Isthmian waterway, and that the
Hons, the weakness of our present punl
justillable method of voicing Nica
ragua's displeasure. According to the
Washington Post, which gains Us In
formation from sources In the state
department, the proposition of this man
Morgan and his syndicate is substan
tially that the government of Nica
ragua withdraw the concessions grant
ed to the .American company and grant
new concessions to a British company
for the construction of Hie canal. It Is
suggested that if this should appear to
be too brazen an Interference with the
rights of the United States, men of
straw of Nlcaragunn birth might be put
at the head of tho new company while
British financiers controlled Its actunl
operations and pulled tho strings which
would govern the movements or the na
tive officials.
Under the Playton-Bulwcr treaty,
very unfortunately as it may some dny
prove, the United States is committed
to the principle that it shall enjoy no
advantages in connection with the
Nicaragua canal not shared by (Jreat
Britain. That treaty declares In so
many words that neither government
"will ever obtain or maintain for itself
any exclusive control over the said ship
canal." But If Kngland, working be
hind Individual British capitalists, shall
make any effort to overstep the plain
intent of this treaty, then we snail have
just cause to consider that ill-advised
part of the treaty cancelled, and shall
have to consider whether It will be to
American interest to , continue this
equality of opportunity with a nation
3,000 miles away, a nation which we de
clare shall not hereafter colonize on the
American hemisphere, a nation which
we have good reason to believe must
every little while be kept by show of
force down to the letter of Its Interna
tional agreements. In commenting
upon this possible phase of the Nica
ragua canal problem, the Washington
Post very justly observes:
If by corrupt methods or by political in
ducements a Hrltish syndicate should per
suade the Nicaragua!) oII'h-'hIh to annul
their concessions to the American com
pany and make new ones to a British com
pany, a qutstlon would be presented differ
ent from that presented in Venezuela, ac
cording to President Cleveland's defini
tion of that question, in the particular that
the United States might feel railed upon
to interfere without regard to the atti
tude of the existing government of the
country affected. The United States, it is
believed, would not In such a ruse permit
the Monroe doctrine lo be construed so
narrowly as lo justify the Increase of
Kiiropeap power In Central America, con
trary to the Interests of Ihe United States,
even with the consent of Ihe otllcials who
might temporarily shape the policy of tho
country In which such aggressions took
place. If the efforts of Mritlfh capitalists'
to secure the nnntillmont of the Ameri
can charter seem likely to produce tangi
ble remits, representations of a serluus
nature are likely to be made by the state
department to the governments of both
Nicaragua and Great llrltaln against ex
tension of British influence in the con
struction of the canal.
This is one of the possible contingen
cies In our foreign outlook which re
double the need of a Republican execu
tive and senate;" for with all depart
ments of the government under Repub
lican control there Is little likelihood
that there would be a repetition of Mr.
Cleveland's mistake, as shown in his
Venezuelan correspondence, of limit
ing the scope of the Monroe doctrine
to cases Involving open force. It at
least is certain that Republicanism is
committed to American control of the
Nicaragua canal, and the time for a
Vigorous assertion of this necessity may
be nearer than wo think.
THEIR ULOOl) CRIES OUT.
Front the Altoona Tribune.
The government of the United States,
from the beginning of Its existence to
the present lime, has scrupulously re
frained from interfering with the affairs
of Kuropean nations, simply asking in
return that our brethren nn the other side
of the globe kindly keep hands off this
continent, not seeking to increase such
possessions as they may chance to have
here now. That policy was recommended
by the wisest statesmen of the republic's
early days, and Its general wisdom Is ob
vious. If this country ever breaks Its pol
icy of iion-lnterference it should should
be In connection with some such an epi
sode as that which is not quite finished
over In Armenia. During the Inst few
months several thousand Armenians have
been butchered In colli blood. We sup
pose nobody will ever learn precisely the
number of victims; some estimate it at on. -000.
Hut it Is clear that thousands have
been done to death In the most barbarous
manner. The aesasslns have been Turks
or Kurds, and their victims died been line
of their fuith In the Christian religion.
Most of them, undaunted by their dread
surroundings, loyal to the faith, died as
bravely and as unflinchingly as did their
fellow-martyrs who were delivered to ihe
wild beasts "to make a Roman holiday,"
In other centuries.
Thus far, to their eternal shame, the
"Christian" nations of Kurope have not
Interfered to repress the cruelty of the
Turk or to save the remnant of the Chris
tiana alive. Self-interest has paralysed
their energies. Kngland and Russia stand
glaring at each other, the one afraid to
move lest the other gain an advantage. It
is possible that Kngldnd might have acted
had not the unfortunate Venezuelan epi
sode Intervened, or had not Kmperor Will
iam II, of Germany, shown so manifest
a purpose to aid in the gratification nf
Russian ambition, once the opportunity
presented Itself. So. to prevent one get
ting a more generous slice of the dis
membered Turkish empire than another,
they have done nothing. In the meantime
the Turk, secure because of the jealousy
with which Christians regard each other,
has made some vary fair promises of re
form and secretly ln"tri:cte.l his own peo
ple and the xuva.te Kurds lo keep up the
worU of mauciv an. I outrage. He recog
nizes that tlie Armenian question is a
daiiKerous one to blin so lung as it re
mains unsettled, and he propor.es to eettle
it by exu-i minuting the Armi tiiutis. When
the last o:w has been killed or enlivened ta
the Mohammedan failh the Turk thinks
he will hne safely passed the tioint of
danger. Anil if the several Kuropean na
tions continue in their present frnme of
mind the Tuik's Idea is pretty nearly cor
rect, for the only tiling in which they
reem to be of one mind Is that they dare
not interfere to prevent the wholesale
butchery of Christian by bloodthir.dy
y.ussclmaiis.
Some people In this country are thlult
liiu tint since Kurope I so paralyzed by
complications of one ort or another as to
be unable to save their Christian breth
ren, the I'nited States might do well to
Interfere. They are thinking this thought
so intently that they think out loud at
times. This government could not be sus
pected of sinister motives If it sent ships
of war and troops over there and Inaugu
rated a new crusade against the perse
cutors of a defenseless people. We don't
want Constantinople. We don't want any
thing the Turk bns. Hut our people are
thinking more and more seriously that
in the midst of the cowardice and selllsh
nrss of Kurope It might be Just as well
lo take Iho "unspeakable Turk" by the
nape of the neck and after choking him a
little, kick hint out of Armenia and over
Into Asia, with a polite reminder that he
will best serve his own interests by re
maining titers hereafter.

It will lie apparent to a child born on

the Adjutant General Stewart to the fact
that no mention of General Gobln's
