We desire to ask tin- Homiblicanst of
Hyd Park how they like tills kind of
treatment. Are they willing that their
candidates on the Republican ticket
should he defeated and their yountr
men vililled by the notorious man who
edits the Scrunton Republican simply
because they will not consent to do
Joseph A. Scranton's unscrupulous
bidding? Must every man who does
not criniie the knee at Scranton's com
mand have Ills good name bespattered
by false and malicious chaises and be
held nil in Scranton's paper to scorn
anil ridicule?
This Is a tiuestlon for careful con
sideration. The libel on young Kd
wards Is n Jilit-l on the whole Welsh na
tionality, which the Welsh voters of the
West Side should not fail to resent. If
Scranton can without rebuke slander
one honest Welsh boy, he will yet slan
der others; and while he Is encouraged
to discharge his venom at will In thla
community, no man can feel safe.
Of Foraker's loyalty to McKlnley
there can be no doubt. At the same
time. McKlnley ought not to expect a
monopoly of the presidential ambition.
The lue of "Connellism."
One of the charges of the Scranton-Fellows-Dale
conspiracy to. disrupt the
ltepubllcan party In this city Is that
Mr. Connell. at whom that conspiracy
strikes. Is, as the ltepubllcan puts It,
"personally interested In every line of
business." They object to the fact that
Mr. Connell has succeeded In life, and
that, unlike some wealthy citizens, he
has Invested his money In various local
enterprises that give employment to
home labor and help to stimulate the
home market Instead of salting It down
In government bonds or putting It Into
distant ventures where it would be of
no local benefit.
Because "Connellism," as they call It,
has differed from Joe Scrantonism In
trying to help others at the same time
that it has helped Itself; because It has
tried to diversify local Industries, pro
mote various local mercantile and
philanthropic enterprises and develop
In this community a progressive and
symmetrical city, the man who has
done what he could toward these ends
is to be railed nt by men who never
willingly contributed a cent for an un
selfish purpose or took a step for the
public Interest that did not offer the sel
fish reward of personal advantage; and
Is to be put up as a target for the envy
and the malice of all who begrudge an
other's honest success.
I'pon the whole we are glad that this
Issue has been raised. It has not been
our wish to raise it ourselves, but since
the conspirators have spared us that
trouble, we are willing to let the ques
tion go fairly before the people for their
judgment, tiot them consider whether
a. man Is to be punished for trying to
further local progress and to give em
ployment to home labor. let them
compare the fruits of such a policy with
the public benefits which owe their
'origin to Mr. , Scranton, Mr. Dale or
Mr. Fellows: and then let them decide
as their sense of fairness shall prompt.
American recognition of the-' Cuban
patriots would act like a tonic on their
buttle for freedom. Why Is It delayed?
Scranton's SUp at Moir.
A few months ago when J.' A. Reran
ton thought he could use Captain Moir
as the unconscious Instrument of his
plot to disrupt the Republican party
and build a new dynasty over Its ruins,
the captain's name was linked In Scran
ton's paper with sweet praises, and the
vocabulary of homage and compliment
was not spared to do hint reverence. We
all recall those fulsome flatteries, those
sentences subtly phrased to tickle the
subject's vanity, those periods .Of adula
tion sonorous, aadant and-eloquent.
But since Captain Moir, after toy ing
for a time with the delusive bauble, de-
I
dined to be the Immediate agent of his
party's undoing.' 'a change has come
over the spirit of Scranton's dreams.
No longer Is he moved to exploit the
gallant captain's virtues: no lonr to
pour out libations on the altar of his
manly merits. Scranton now writes u
letter to-.the Republican telling Moir
that "a great number of his old friends
will have no further use for him," that
ho "is too tame," etc., and It would oc-'
caslon no surprise if. before the cam
paign had ended, Scranton's abuse of
Moir, like his abuse of others who are
not Invariably subservient to his pur
poses, would become virulent and libel
ous. In such a case. Captain Moir would
have only himself to blame. He should
have known 4hat no man can safely
trust In Joseph A. Scranton's promises
or rely upon his representations. The
history of local politics for the past
twenty years Is a history of men whom
he has used for a time and then thrbwn
over his shoulder, or of men whom,
failing to use. he has wantonly abused.
Captain Moir is not the first nor will
he be the last victim of his Ingratitude.
If he dislikes the Ingtate's smite, let
him reflect that he was warned in time.
It is said that tJrover would like to
dump Hayurd. We should think lie
would.
Will Republicans Be Fooled?
No possible objection can be made to
the punishment of crime. That Is what
courts ure for. Hut when, after being
themselves guilty of every offence with
in the catalogue of political unscrupu
lousness, a band of men. In pursuit of
a desperate plot to foment party dis
sension and wreck parly prospects, try
to pose before the people us the exclu
sive champions of civic righteousness
and moral Integrity, it makes us tired.
We do imt believe that many Repub
licans In this cily are deceived as to
the fact that for every charge of ir
regularity brought by the wreckers
who were beaten at the recent Re
publican primaries, a similar charge
could be made In exchange. No pri
mary election ever was absolutely free
from such Irregularities. In the exclte
meut of a determined factional contest
men on both sides ure led to do tilings
which. In calmer moments, they regret.
Tills Is not "t'onnellism" nor "Scran
tonlsm," but just pluin human nature,
which is in evidence the world over,
over.
Such Indiscretions, however. In the
long run coiinterbulunce. They are
incidents of every contest, and are
properly regarded as inevitable. If, in
the main, the purty will receives a fair
expression; If, casting aside the minor
and unavoidable Irregularities on both
sides, it clearly appears that one of
those sides has a manifest plurality of
tlie legitimate party vote, it is every
where regarded by honest men as the
part of political manliness for the van
quished to accept the verdict and to
Join hands with the victors in a loyal
campuign for party success. Not to do
so would mean the end of political or
ganizations, the death of party and the
substitution of aimless and formless
political anarchy.
In our own city the dawn of the
presidential campaign Is marked,
among Republicans, by the effort of a
group of plotters headed hy men who
have repeatedly fought their party and
sold out Its candidates, to stigmatize
as criminal the ticket which was the
fair and manifest choice of a large ma
jority of Republican voters at the party
primaries. These men, unsuccessfully
employing every desperate device to
beat that ticket at the primaries, now
have tlie effrontery to call upon loyal
members of the party to aid them in
trying to overthrow it at the polls, so
that the resources of the municipal
government may go Into Democratic
control.
They, who are steeped In fraud, cry
"fraud;" they who never did a clean
nor on unselfish political act, howl
purity and reform! Are Republicans
to be fooled by such buncombe?
Senator Thurston evidently labors
under the delusion that Americanism
ought to mean something.
The Postal Savings Project.
In connection with the recent revival
of the postal savings iiank project,
which Postmaster General Wanamaker
championed with much zeal during the
preceding administration, William K.
Curtis presents In his Washington let
ter several facts of general interest. Mr.
Curtis notes that In Japan, which has
lately adopted the plan, there were, in
IS!)."!. 9K9.092 depositors out of a possible
41.000.000 of population. In 1895 this
number had Increased to 1, 1:19,331. The
value of deposits In 1X9.1 was $'4,586,586,
and In 1895 JiC.tHe.lOl', which Is a re
markable sum for a people whose
wages are only from 10 to 15 cents a
day. In Great Britain there are 5,748,
239 depositors In the postal savings
system, which is one to every seven
of the population. The total amount
of their deposits last year was $407,938,
205, which was an Increase of $23,723,81 0
from the previous year. The number of
deposits made last year was 903,198,
representing u value of $123,245,120, and
what is especially significant Is that
Interest, amounting to $8,300,520, was
left undrawn, and placed to the credit
of depositors during the year. Mr.
Curtis adds:
What is called the stamp deposits sys
tern has been very sticcessftilly Introduced
among the schools In Ureut Krituln. and
the. argrPKate amount deposited by '.Im
children last year was over lM).uw. L'micr
this system school children ate furnished
with cards ruled olT in squares the size
of a stump, and when they have a penny
they are encouraged to buy a postage
stump Instead of Heniiliig It for candy.
The stamp Is placed upon the card, and
when the card Is full It Is delivered to tile
nearest postmaster, who gives the child
credit in a passbook for the amount of
money represented. These cards are sup
plied in bulk to the teachers of the public
schools, who are required to Instruct their
pupils daily In practical lessons of econ
omy and the benefits of thrift. This is
said to have an excellent cITert not only
among the children, but upon their par
ents also, both by the force, of example
and by making known the advantages and
facilities offered by the savings system.
The fact that onej person out of every
seven In the entire copulation of Oreat
Britain makes use vof the postal savings
bank and. thai it represents more than
$4uu,uo0,uu0 of their savings suggests that
a similar privilege wnullie greatly valued
I hy the working people of the 1'nlted
States. ,
I The government of France, -Mr. Cur-
tls continues, has hnd the svstem In
operntlon for several yours, and the
balance on deposit has been steadily In
creasing until It has reached the sum
1.051,547.462 francs were handled, the
year 1894, which is the last reported.
1.051,547,462 frances were handled, the
total deKisits amounting to 931,108.783
francs, representing 815,747 depositors,
of whom 34,463 were new during the
year, and 8,171 were net Increase. In
Belgium there are 572,369 depositors,
representing 205,533,300 francs. The
number of depositors Increased 60,000
during the year, and the value of de
posits 13.242.924 francs. The system In
both countries Is substantially the
some. The postal-saving system is ap
plied to the schools In botli France and
Belgium, and the scholars are Incited
to muke regular weekly deposits to the
end that they may have at the time of
their graduation or majority or in any
time of stress or great need, a sum of
money under their Immediate, control.
"All tl.ls." he remarks, "tends to
the establishment of thrifty habits, be
gets a power of resistance to the temp
tation to spend money, and develops
sttcngth of character among children.
The statistics show that of 4.294 boys in
a certain city In Belgium. 3,104. or 72
per cent, of the puplls'in the school, hud
postal savings bunk deposits, ami 2,528
out of a total of 3.715 glrlsv which is "o
per cent. Of l.Suo men and boys at
tending the charity night schools in
the same town. 738, or 41 per cent., were
depositors, und of 1.97H women and
girls 83.'i, or 42 per cent., had pass bonks."
There would seem to be ubundunt
room in the 1'nlted States for such a
system, und the results here ought to be
i even better thun III the 'countries men
tioned.

tions concerning Cuba mean that

Still Another Lie Nailed.
Concerning the Scranton Republican's
recent ullegution of fraud in the First

was voted: that on counting the vote there
were in the neighborhood of eight votes
which were not numbered because they
had been storied Inside the numbered bal
lots and these unnumbered ballots were
thrown out: that on completing the count
it wus found that there were two ballots

each delegate was credited with every

that In no way or manner whatsoever was
anything done that wus unjust, unfair
or lilt-Kill.
We further declare that when the polls
were closed each and every ballot was
counted by us and each candidate was
credited with the actuul legal vote cast
for him and the result of such count was
a clear majority for the Hippie, Williams

In due season It will be found that the
Republican charges were all either en
tirely false or else so studiously ex
aggerated as to be as bad as plain lies.
Frank F. Jones, of the Fifteenth
ward, has gone to the trouble of mak
ing a long affidavit in which he ad
mits that the people of that ward re
ceived a fair count at the recent pri
maries, but contends that Instead of 11
unnumbered ballots being found In the
First district, as testified to by David
M. Jones, John T. Lewis and John M.
Kdwards, the number was 45. This
discrepancy Is not material, and the
evidence stands three against one; but
for the purpose of learning how
much weight thut one witness ought
to carry, it should be ascertained if he
Is the Jones who, some time ago was
expelled from the Columbia Hose com
pany for conduct unbecoming a gen
tleman. When the president returned from
his last gunning trip he wrote the stir
ring message about Venezuela. Let
us hope that when he gets back from
this one lie will have something equally
popular to say about Cuba.
WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
Tribune Bureau,
51.1 Fourteenth street, N. V.,
Washington, Jan. 29.
Congressman William A. Stone Is a can
didate for the Republican gubernatorial
nomination In 1898. Be so announced him
self a few days ugo, 'but without consult
ing Senator yuuy. At least Quay suys
he hasn't been consulted In the matter by
Colonel Stone.
I had n talk with Senator Quay today
and during the conversation he suid tint
the report that he had selected Colonel
Stone us his gubernatorial candidate had
evidently been started by un enemy of the
Allegheny congressman. Senator Quay
also said that It Is not good politics for a
nutn to announce his candidacy for any
office so long in advance.
"It Is more thun two years before the
nomination will be made," said the sena
tor, "and there is no telling what may
turn up in the meantime."
One would naturally infer from the
above expression thut Senator Quay had
not authorized Colonel Stone or his friends
to use his name in connection with the
gubernatorial nomination.
Hon. fleorgc V.' Lawrence, the Republi
can war horse of Washington county, w is
here to see Senutor Quay yesterday In re
gard to the nomination of Congressman-at-large
Buff's seat In the house. Mr.
Lawrence, geographically, is well located
for the place, but whether he secured Sen
ator Quay's Indorsement Is not known.
Dave .iartln Is responsible for the story
that John Knssell Voting, ex-minister tu
China, has lieen slated for Congrcssman-at-lurge
Huff's seat. When I asked Sen
ator Quay about the report he replied by
saying that Mr. Young lives In the wrom:
end of the state. When I suggested that
he nilKht Mil the seat now occupied by
Hon. Oalusha A. Orow. Senator Quay raid
not a word on the subject anil shitted the
conversation.
l1 ii ii ;
"Who will be Senator Cameron's suc
cessor?" I asked of Senator Quay.
"Well," said the senator, with a mer
ry twinkle in his eye, "that Is more than
1 can tell. I wish you would let me know
as soon us you Hnd out who It will be."
Of course, this was said facetiously.
' Ex-Deputy Attorney (Heneral Btrnnahun
was here yesterday. He evidently doesn't
take a very rosy view of Democratic suc
cess In this year of our Lord. I asked him
what he thought of ex-fiovernor Puttl
son's chances for the Democratic presi
dential nomination. Mr. Stranuhan'a re
ply was that he didn't think .Mr. Paf.lain
would he a candidate. "If he shows his
usual Kood ai-nsc," he continued, "he will
not be a candidate." Mr. Strunahan fur
ther raid thut the ex-sovcnior would no
doubt have the support of the Pennsylvn.
nla delegation ir he is a candidate. He Is
also of the opinion that the unit rule will
uguln prevail and that Mr. Barrity will
vote the Pennsylvania delgatlon for whom
he pleases. This will be comforting news
for the fellows who are candidates for del
eiiate to the Democratic national funeral.
They might as well stay at home as far aa
their having a say or vole at the con
vention is concerned.
Senator Quay hasn't yet received Con
gressman Robinson's letter on the sena
torial question. He has written Frank
Willing Leach requesting him to forword
It to h'm at once. Senator Ouuy favors
the popular vote plan as suggested by Mr.
Robinson, but it depends entirely upon
who has the biggest pull when the legisla
ture meets.
A report was In circulation about the
capltol yesterday that Congressman Jack
Robinson intended to offer an amend
ment to the diplomatic bill, then before
the house, striking out the appropriation
for Ambassador Bayard's salary. The
.Media statesman, !f he ever entertained
such an Idea, evidently changed his mind,
as the bill passed without the amendment
being offered.
II II II
Congressman Loisenring has Introduced
a bill carrying un appropriation of S'-OiMio"
for a public building at Wllkes-Burre.
Mr. Leisenring Is a Kood fellow ami 1
would like to see the hill pass for his suke,
but there Is not the remotest -possibility
of It getting uny further thun the commit
tee on public buildings and grounds, w here
It will be smothered by order of Speaker
Reed. No unnecessary legislation will be
passed by this congress, and new public
buildings are in the "unnecessary" cluss.
This will be snd news for Sum Boyd, but
"truth Is mighty and will prevail."

The term of the Wilkes-Harre post
master will expire Feb. id. The tight for

Boyd to enter Jhe free-for-all race. He
