flection Day, I'cb. 18.
The nnnouru.'omcnt that a canvass
will Immediately he bo-nun for funds
for a new building for St. Joseph's
Foundling home, while It will appeal
directly to our I'utholtc friends, Hhould
hot fail to elicit a generous response
from members of other religious or
ganizations us well. Charity of this
merciful Kind Is above denominational
or sectarian lines, and it would be sln
pular Indeed if this prosperous city
vero not able to accord proper support
to every deserving agency of its ad
ministration. An Immediate Responsibility.
The nucleus of a new building; fund
for the Home for the Friendless has
now been subscribed. It amounts to
little more than one-fifth of tne total
necessary to the proper completion of
the contemplated structure for which
foundations have been laid near the
Oral school, but since most of these
subscriptions are conditional upon the
raising of the full umount, every dollar
Riven now does practically the. work
of two dollars by inspiring others to add
their contributions also.
The gentlemen who have undertaken,
not only to give of their own funds, but
to solicit gifts from others, are busy
men. They cannot give their whole
time to this work of public philan
thropy. Nor should It be necessary for
them to do so. The signal usefulness of
the Institution In question, even un
der limited circumstances and In Inade
quate quarters, Is known to every citi
zen of Scranton. It follows that every
man and woman of public spirit In the
city ought to perceive the necessity of
co-operating in this enterprise, and of
making their willingness, to co-operate
known.
The question at Issue Is, Shall the
Home go back for an Indelinlte period
Into the old building, with Its scant
playground, meagre accommodations
and constant liability to destruction
by fire, or shull It, within a reasonable
period, be enabled to occupy a properly
designed new lire-proof building, with
ample grounds and suitable furnish
ings? In answering this question the
community should remember that the
next fire In the old structure may do
more than injure property; It may cost
lives as well. If only one life were to
be lost through the failure of the people
cf Hcranton to do their duty to the
friendless waifs within their gates,
would not that sacrifice be a blood
stain upon the community's character,
and a personal burden upon the con
science of each citizen?
In obedience to eminent suggestion
The Tribune, with the consent of the
contributors, will add the funds which
It has raised to the new building fund
already subscribed as a result of the
business men's meeting In the Hoard
of Trade rooms, and will henceforth
keep before the public only the one need
of a now, fire-proof Homo. Kvery
Bcrantonlun ought to feel that this
matter is one of direct, personal inter
est to himself. The dollar given to
well-directed charity means a dollar
saved in police court costs.
Speaker Reed's head Is level upon the
point that this nlust bo an economical
congress. At the same time It should
not be overlooked that this Is a growing
country.
Republicanism's Local Duty.
In view of the importance of the en
suing municipal election both as an
event of direct concern to the taxpayers
of Scranton and as a preliminary
Bklrmlsh In the county, state, and presi
dential battle which will come to an
Issue next fall, it Is essential that loyal
Republicans desist from dissensions
and get together for victory. The let
ter of Captain Molr, in spite of phrases
indicative of unjustifiable soreness, Is
at all events clear and outspoken in its
definition of the duty of his friends and
colleagues toward the Republican city
ticket. Its advice is to close up tne
broken lines and get ready like true
soldiers for tha year's approaching con
tests.' This is counsel which, might
well have been spoken a full fortnight
earlier, and its prompt observance Is
earnestly recommended to all who sub
scribe to Republican principles.
We believe that in the main it will be
heartily followed. There may be a few
stray exceptions of little or no impor
tance, but so far as the great rank and
file of the supporters of Captain Molr
at the recent primaries is concerned, it
will hardly wish, because of natural
disappointment 'la, ;an unsuccessful
preference for the part? nomination, to
condemn the whole party to defeat or to
complicate or embarrass party wiccera
In the trebly important presidential
ampaign next fall. True Republican
lam Is above personalities. . It rests on
an adherence to principles which is nl
ways willing to accept the fair Issue of
an open contest for the responsibilities
of party leadership; and having made
a good, stiff light for the persons of us
choice, to say to the victors: . " e
fought you like men at the party pri
maries; but like men wnl we support
you until the closing of the polls."
In the present case such a turning In
Is rendered pleasant and honorable ty
reason of the fact thut the ticket which
carried the party primaries Is pre
eminently a ticket fit also to succeed at
the polls. At its head. In the person of
Colonel Ripple, stands a manly, robust,
generous-hearted man, whose capabili
ties In the mayoralty have already re
ceived successful demonstration. The
Republican must be rare indeed who
would on any grounds hesitate to
recommend to those with whom he
cornea in contact Colonel Ripple's elec
tion as mayor. Conspicuous fitness,
too, Is true of Daniel Williams, the Re
publican nominee for city treasurer.
A man of life-long familiarity with the
city, a business man who stands second
to none for probity and fair-dealing;
and a public servant who as director
of the poor has fulfilled every require
ment of sutiBfactory and honorable ser
vice, Mr. Williams, in his present candi
dacy, appeals not simply to members
of his own political household, not one
of whom can present a syllable to his
discredit, but also to the whole body
of voters, regardless of party lines.
But these two names by no means ex
hnust the Republican ticket's strength.
For the office of controller is presented
a man who, during three years' tenure
of that position, has conducted himself
with uniform uprightness, efficiency
ami courage. It makes no difference
what one's party Is, or how one lines up
during factional fights the man who
Is fair-minded and candid must frankly
admit that Fred J. WIdmayer has thor
oughly deserved a re-election. Since it
bus been the custom to accord to con
trollers one renomination apiece, no oc
cupant of that office has better deserved
the compliment than Mr. WIdmayer,
nor has another ever presented better
recommendations for general Indorse
ment at the polls. Lastly, the ticket Is
strong In its nominees for assessors In
Mr. Fowler, an alert young man who
has had six years' practical familiarity
with the duties of the office; In Mr.
Fickus, an honest and sturdy German
American, and In Mr. Dawson, a popu
lar representative of the Celtic race.
Whether viewed from a party stand
point or in the light of Individual merit,
the gentlemen whose names adorn the
Republican city ticket Invite unusual
cor Ailence. They clearly have a right
to expect the active support of all mem
bers of their own party; and it will be
a great surprise if they do not also re
ceive the suffrages of many men who,
in state and national contests, are In
the habit of voting with one or another
of the other parties.
Perhaps the child or the grandchild
of the man who declines to give of his
abundant means to the fund for a new
Home for the Friendless may, lu time's
vicissitudes, need shelter. This is a pos
sibility worth thinking of.
The Real rlonroe Doctrine.
For the purpose of preventing future
doubt as to the scope and meaning of
the American principle commonly
known as the Monroe doctrine, the
senate committee on foreign affairs. has
embodied that principle in a resolution
prepared by Senator Davis, of Minne
sota. This resolution will be reported
to the senate today, and if passed will
constitute a distinctly forward step in
American diplomacy. After asserting
that the acquisition by purchase, ag
gression or otherwise of any territory
on the American continent by a foreign
power Is an unfriendly act, and that
such acquisition will not be permitted
by the United States, the resolution
lays down the important additional
principle that in case boundary dis
putes on the American continent be
between foreign governments and
American governments are decided by
arbitration, agreement, purchase or in
any manner whatever, the United
States shall be the sole Judge as to
whether the Monroe doctrine has been
violated in such arbitration or agree
ment. The resolution adds thntAmerl
can nations will be protected In their
rights to combine or to acquire terri
tory by purchase or conquest from
each other, but not to alienate their
land to any foreign power.
Very naturally, apologists for the ad
ministration, which, in the correspond
ence with Lord Salisbury over the Ven
ezuelan boundary Issue, threw one-half
of the real Monroe doctrine away, are
up in arms against this resolution,
which, they protest, goes too far. Their
attitude is thus reflected by Walter
Wellman, prince Imperial of the Wash
ington newspaper cuckoos:
If Loilife. Culloni ami Davis have their
way. und pleiljre the faith of the country
to the iloctrlne which forbids Kuropean
acquisition by any means, it is pretty well
settled thut a number of American govern
ments will repudiate it so far us It ap
plies to them. I'rouil little Chile will lead
this procession, and will Improve the first
opportunity to ask the United States when
ami where it acquired the right to my
that she as an independent power cannot
sell or cede a part of her territory to a
Kuropean government If she wishes to do
so. Hrazil would probably follow In Chile's
wake ami reteet the proposed suzerainty of
the United States. No one would be stir
prised If half the American republics did
the same thing, ami that would be a fine
way to establish Monroeism on these con
tinents, wouldn't 111
It Is a sufficient answer to this conjec
ture that the emergency in contempla
tion can be faced when It actually arises.
If the United States has any rigljt, po
litical or moral, to stop a seizure of
South or Central American territory by
a foreign power by force, it must have
an equal right to prevent the alienation
of such territory by other than forcible
means. Na line- can safely be ' drawn
between these rights. It is not probable
that the United States would feel called
upon to exercise Its right of interven
tion In the case of a small sale of ter
ritory such as would not threaten the
balance of power In the New World or
menace the perpetuity of republican in
stitutions. Its waiving of such right In
any particular case would be a wajver
for that case alone; it would not, how
ever, have the force of a general re
nunciation. The fundamental right,,'
once clearly asserted, would exist as a
permanent bulwark against European
aggression in any portion of the Ameri
can hemisphere.
This Davis doctrine may, at first read
ing1, seem av little robust; but it is the
cold, hard logic of the situation; and we
trust that there will be enough back
boned Americanism In congress to speed
it to triumphal adoption.
It Does Them Credit.
A correspondent of the Washington
Post, named A. Mllo liennett. relates
the following sample illustrating the
cruelty of Spanish rule in Cuba:
Not lone aso Pattl sans: a ronK in Ha
vans containing very literal sentiments.
and thefe were loudly applauded. In Cuba
nearly all editors and government ottiriala
are Spaniards. In commenting on this
outbreak n Stanlnh editor, named Caste
non. tried to make out that the audience
was composed of ruffians, and he stated
that there wasn't a slnitie lady present.
This incensed the Cubans whose wives
were in attendance, and a youns m:in
named Oroseo, whose sister was in the
mullence. challenged anil killed Castenon,
This greatly enraged the Spaniards at the
time, anil shortly after one of them start
ed a report that Castenon's grave had been
desecrated by Cuban students. Accord
ingly I.'pO sons of the wealthiest Cuhnn
families were arrested and thrown Into
ur'.son. They were given a military tria
nml sDeedllv condemned to death. ThroUKh
Intercession the verdict was changed, and
twelve were drawn by lot trom tne wnole
number and executed with great cruelty. A
year or so after Castenon's remains were
discovered Intact. When this fact became
known a monument, costing JW.OOO, was
erected over these martyred boys by nui
lie subscription, and it stands trxiuv as a
double monument to upanisn cruelty ana
to commemorate tho heroic students, who
fought among themselves for the honor of
dying.
It may be that some of the officials
of the Cubun patriots are naturalized
American citizens. Just as some of the
Revolutionary fathers were French
men ond Polanders. In that case the
circumstance of their devotion to liber
ty does credit to their Amerlcnnlsm.
Judge Mcpherson's decision In Mc
Oovern vs. I.enhart that It is part of a
publisher's duty to watch public offi
cials and to keep the public Informed
ns to their doings Is eminently practical
nnd sound. There are some public offl
clnls who believe otherwise, but their
beliefs don't count.
It will be learned with interest, upon
the authority of the Washington Post
that the Pierpont Morgan bond syn
dicate was a "perfectly patriotic and
unselfish" institution, which pocketed
its $15,000,000 of profit merely as an in
cident of its perfect devotion.
Suppose the old Home for the Friend
less, after being occupied again, should
be visited by another fire in which lives
would be lost. How would this com
munlty feel about It?
To the great body of Americans the
Cuban question is resolved into the
eminently practical proposition that
recognition should be accorded when
ever It will do the most good.
It is said Queen Victoria has wrlten
the sultan an emphatic letter; but a
dozen English warships would be more
to the real point.

In the Scranton Tribune of Thursday
there appeared a most sensible article on
patronizing home Industries. The writer
signs his name Philip J. Thomus to tho
article, and throws out some valuable
suggestions to those contemplating build

men may llnd employment. He declares
that there are Scranton men walking the
streets hunting for work, while outsiders
are brought there and ure busv in vari

Is true of other cities, und one of the sur

one to patronize home Industries.
