It beclns to look as tlioiiRh some one
Jiad flipped the wings of England's
"flying squadron."
Ananias at Work.
The Scianton Itrpuliliran yesterday
landed Hiinuivly in the Pemorrutlc
column, liut liy ivuy of a pretext for
FUoh a somersault. It Bave a ntrlna; of
eharses of ulleged IrreKUlurltle ut the
recent prlmarleM, most of which are
prefaced by Mich phrawea as "It Is said."
It 1h alleged," "It Is rumored." and the
like expressions which betray the
paper's Insincerity and exhibit It In the
light of a deliberate Inciter of lmrty
disturbance upon mere heursay. Such
vague accusations, until supported by
tangible evidence, are beneath con
tempt. tVrtaln speclllc charges, however, de
mand attention. The charge In refer
ence to Emll Bonn In connection with
the primary In the First district of the
Twelfth ward was answered by Mr.
Bonn himself, In a letter printed In last
Saturday's Tribune. In that letter he
said:
.Messrs. Louis Kollet und Fred t Khr
harilt were the regularly elected and re
turned vigilance committeemen and us
such were published In a list by I'hulriiian
Cleitions and attested by Secretary Hale.
Jlr. Khrhunlt being a caniliilale for dele
gale declined to serve on the vigilance,
whereupon J. H. Thomas, chairmun of
the county committee, In conformity with
rule three of the rules for the government
of the Kepubllcati party, appointed Free
man (lower to fill tha said vacancy and
furnished him with a certlllcate of his
appointment. When the time arrived for
the opening of the polls, H. W. t'oyle. a
well-known Kemoerat reihltiig In the Sec
ond district and who owned the polling
place, aided by other well-know Dem
ocrats and a few Republicans, prevented
Mr. (lower from taking his authorized and
legal seat on the board by keeping the
polling place locked, and then by a mo
tion declared carried ut the curbstone,
William Wetzel was declared one of the
vigilance. This act disgusted a majority
or the Republicans present and another
caucus was the result, with Fred Hopple,
elected by a vote, acting with Mr. (lower,
the legal vigilance. Now, why was .Mr.
(lower denied his right to serve on the
committee when It was a well-known fact
that Mr. Kollet was an out and out Molr
man ami they were thus assured a fair
and honest count? At this rauciis nearly
tifty votes were polled und certainly a
majority of the Hepuhlinin votes thus
elected Mr. Khrhardt.
Mr. Tlonn's word Is rertnlnly as pood
,n this community as Mr. Scranton's.
If it Isn't he can get allhlavlts In cor
roboration. Of the other charges made
with reference to the South Side, tho
serious ones concern the First and
the Fourth districts of the Nineteenth
wards. In the First district It is
charged that the ballots were not even
counted, but were returned arbitrarily:
while In the Fourth district It Is al
leged that the Molr ballots were
thrown on the floor. These charges,
however. In each rase have no evidence
to sustain them. They are simply
made upon the supposition that what
ever Joseph A. Scianton says must be
accepted bb true independent of cor
roborative proof. We say now to Mr.
Scranton and his fellow Democrats
that If they will produce their evi
dence In this matter before a court of
Justice It will be met fully and fairly,
l'ntil such evidence is so produced,
mere accusation will not go.
The same line of wholesale arraign
ment Independent of proof Is followed
Ly the Republican in relation to the
West Side, except where It says: "In
the First district of the Fifteenth
ward a deliberate plot to cheat Mr.
Dayton out of the delegates in his home
precinct was only frustrated by the
closest scrutiny. On this election board
was young Rdwards, a clerk In William
Oonnell's office. Forty-five more bal
lots were found In the box than the
number of voters named In the list kept
by the vigilance. When about fifty
votes) had been polled, Edwards Inef-'
fectually tried o have no further list
of the voters kept, and no more tickets
numbered. Failure to accomplish this
saved the district to Molr; of the forty
five excessive ballots, forty-three were
for Ripple."
That this assertion, albeit specific, la
a deliberate -and unqualified , lie is
proved by the following affidavits:

wanna, ss.: - '
Personally appeared before me, W. 8.
Millar, an alderman in and for said county
of Iackawanna, David M. Jones, who,
upon being duly sworn, does depose and

committee of the First district of the Fif
teenth ward, of the city of Scranton,
county of Lackawanna, state of Pennsyl
vania; that I aat on the board In con

W. S. Millar, Alderman.
A third charge Is made concerning
Mr. William C'onnell and the Asbury
Methodist Episcopal church, of Oreen
Rldgre, which Is equally false, and even
more malicious. The facts In this case
are thnt early last year, long before
the present campulgn had been thought
of, Mr. Council agreed to help lift a
load of Indebtedness from thut church.
When the report was circulated prior
to the recent primaries, that a majority
of the voting Republican members of
this congregation were favorable to
Captain Molr. some of Colonel Ripple's
Green Ridge friends made InquirleM as
to Its truth; and from this arose the
falsehood that Mr. Council had asked
for votes because of his contribution
to the relief of the church debt. Any
body who knows Mr. Connell knows
thnt lie Is Inlinitely above such a course
of conduct; and those who don't know
him certainly ought not to swallow
slamlers about blin without lirst trying
to ascertain the truth. -
We have followed the Scranton Re
publican's latest half-column of mis
representations, exaggerations and de
liberate falsehoods to this extent, mere
ly to show to any who may be In doubt
on the subject that the Republican's
purpose is not to purify politics nor to
further any disinterested public aim,
but Instead simply to sow dissension
within the party that has for more than
twenty years kept Its editor in fat of
fices, and turned Into Its counting room
thousands of dollars of revenue. Its
remembrance of this generosity Is a de
liberate plot to try to ruin the party
preparatory to a new regime of private
dickers and deals with the local De
mocracy, like to that which prevailed
durlnpr Mr. Scranton'a first reign as the
local Republican autocrat. We think
that the animus of his present course
Is pretty generally understood by the
people of Scrantog; but in recognition
of the fact that a lie can travel faster
than a dozen denials, we usk, in fair
ness, that Republicans, before believing
Mr. Scrunton's fictions, will first con
sider the character that he bears and
has borne for veracity and political
rectitude. If that tends to add weight
to his accusations, let them be believed;
If not, let them be viewed with sus
picion or brushed aside as the last
Kasps of bullied jealousy and malice.
There seems to be some question as
to wlicther the writers of Eastern war
rumors will be able to keep It up until
the opening of the buse bull season of
fers something more substantial to
work upon.
The Symphony Concert.
The kind people of Scranton should
not, fall to testify by a liberal attend
ance at tonight's benefit concert of the
Symphony orchestra their appreciation
of the generosity of Professor Theodore
Hembcrger In donating the proceeds
of that entertainment to the Home for
the Krlendless. Ills offer was made
at the very day of the recent fire
which so rudely Interrupted the Home's
merciful ministrations, and was the
first token of the esteem in which that
charity Is held.
The concert, entirely apart from Its
worthy financial motive, will be an ar
tistic event of exceptional Interest.
While there has been in our community
a liberal development of chorul singing,
the Held of instrumental music, partic
ularly orchestral music, has been, per
haps, less carefully cultivated; and It is
with a view to the development of this
fruitful Held according to the more
classical standards that the Symphony
orchestra has been organized. It rep
resents, not finished, but rather pro
gressive and educational effort by men
anxious to spread a love for the hlgrher
forms of the harmonic art; and as such
ltdeservestheencouragementof all who
can perceive the desirability of aesthet
Ical as well as muterlul Progress In this
community.
Elsewhere, by request, we print Dr.
McLeod s letter to the Truth In re'dy
to a recent paragraph criticizing one of
the doctors addresses. The point made
by Dr. McLeod Is that the editor of
tha Truth attributed to him language
that he did not use, and that he dis
tinctly disavows. The manuscript of
Dr. McLend sustains his noint. nn.l
ought not the editor of the Truth toack-
nowledge his mistake rather than seek
to defend It?
Aa to Voting for Senator.
In reply to "Jack" Robinson's letter
asking; him to request county chairmen
to let Republicans vote their preference
for senator at the ensuing primaries,
Senator Quay Buys:
I have not yet recived the letter ad
dressed to me, and have onlv seen the
published couv In tha n.m.n.,!. w...
know no good reason why such a plan
hiii iiui ue auopteu. i imve at all times
favored the popular vote system, and my
own experience with it has been satisfac
tory. However, as chairman of the state
committee, 1 have no more power in the
matter than anv other Tatt.ti..nn v..-
could the state committee direct that a
uio ue laura ai me primaries. I might
suggest or recommemt iif.h - ,.n.,MA ....
could not require It. About the only'way
iu nirH me case is to nave the coun
ty committees illnx-t thm .... ....
presslon of opinion be taken.
In Luzerne county the primaries have
already been held, hence a popular vote
there Is out of the question, unless it be
taken at the primaries for the nomlna-'
tlon of representatives In the next legis
lature. The same is true of a number
of other counties. Including Philadel
phia, whose verdict. If concentrated
upon any one favorite, would be most
Influential. In Lackawanna county It
Is yet possible to put Mr. Robinson's
suggestion Into execution, provided that
J It meets with the favor of the district
! committeemen. , . '
liut the main point against the propo
sition Is that with a 1'm-hI favorite in
almost every county or section dellcct
Ing to himself the preference of tho
voters of hla locality, the total expres
sion of the party in the state would be
hopelessly Hpllt up and would conse
quently have no weight In guiding the
next legislature. When Senator Quay
adopted this plun It was Quay against
Dalzell. ToUay it w ould be Wat res or
Kay Rrowu against a dozen others, with
almost no hope of any candidate getting
a majority vote. The chuncen, there-
I fore, are thut the next senator will be
j chosen In the old, familiar way.
What woubl be gained for the Rcpub
I licau party In this city If Joseph A.
I Scranton and John II. Fellows were
j permilted to wreck It?
. -
Restore Reclprocl y.
A point of interest Is made by the
; Chicago Times-Herald when. In plead
j Ing for a speedy revival of legislation
I looking to u. restoration of recinrocity
i . .
agreements with the " neighboring
American republics It calls attention to
the unfortunate fact that "legislation
of this character, which so vitally af
fects the great Industrial system upon
which the prosperity of our country
so laifrely depends, should be In charge
of lawyers, very few of whom have
ever been engaged In any of the pro
ductive Industries und whose know
ledge of the tnurUets and the principles
that govern trade must of necessity be
more or lessi theoretical and super
liclal."
our Chlcafrn contemporary wisely be
lieves thnt the luwyers and profes
Rlonul politicians of congress should,
In matters of this kind, consult with the
mamtfacl tit-inx interests which are di
rectly concerned. It adds: "There
may have been division among manu
facturers In the past on the question
or reciprocity, but today this vast In
terest, rcpi exenllnK millions of dollars

This country has moved up within half

this country is not producing enough of
manufactured goods to supply home
consumption. In 1S94 our importation

"our manufacturers claim that tho
economic policy of the government
should be shaped so thut they may be
permitted to supply this home demand.
They are not yearning for the 'foreign
murkets' of which we hear so much and
know so little so lung as the home mar
ket offers such a vust Held of profit.
But If they ore forced to enter the fierce
struggle with other nations they desire
to do It with the prestige and power
supplied by reciprocity treaties. A
brief experience with the reciprocity
system demonstrated its reasonable
ness and Its practicability beyond con
tention. Its restoration is a concession
which neither party can afford to deny
the vast Interests that are affected."
"Home Study" is the title of an cle
mentary Journul for students of archi
tecture, mining, mechanics, electricity,
etc., that haa recently been Issued from
the office of the well known scientific
publication, the Colliery Engineer. The
lirst Issue of this new periodical, which
is edited by F. W. Kwald, M. E is
filled with Interesting and Instructive
matter bearing upon sciences, con
tributed by well known experts, and Is
Intended an an aid to students who are
in the rudiments of technical literature.
The (lrst issue Is profusely illustrated,
and the lesnons and subjects treated
ate made plain by numerous din
grams. "Home Study" seems to fill the
a long felt want in this particular field
of literature und will doubtless prove
one of the most useful guides to the
student in pursuit of a Scientific edu
cation. It is no new thing for Mr. Scranton,
in his characteristic lack of political
scruples, to try to blacken the charac
ters of his opponents. But when he
tries, by printed falsehoods, to vilify
the yountr Welshman, John M. Ed
wards, we think he will find that It
doesn't pay. What do our Welsh
friends In Hyde Park think about It?
John H. Fellows defeated Thomas D.
Davles for county treasurer In 1S4 and
boasted of It. He is now trying to de
feat Hyde Mark's present candidate,
Daniel Williams. Can he do It? Whut
will Hyde Park suy?
. .. .
Mr. Fellows probably begins to real
ize that the alnduvit gun Is loaded.

From the Chicago Record.
Mr. Secretary Chamberlain, a member
of the British cabinet, expressed In u
public speech Tuesday the great surprise
It has been to the British people to learn
that they "were conrronied with sus
picion and even with hate" in every quar
ter of the civilized globe. If the minister
did not know better, the reason he k'vhs
for this state of affairs that It is in
spired by jealousy at the success which
has attended Knglund's quiet, simple and
open effort to build up lis truile und in
crease its commerce would be very funny.
Knglund's commerce has been built up
by just such measures of oppression us
drove the thirteen colonies Into rebellion,
except that In the revolutionary war Ureal
Britain learned the best wuy to extend
her influence was to extend It over small
and weak nations. The British posses
sions on this continent show fairly well
how Grrat Hrltalr. bus built up her trade
and commerce and how much reason there
Is that she should have won the dislike,
if not the enmity, not only of the Ameri
cans but of the world:
