Election Day. Feb.8
TVir men rermted to be. skilled In the
arts of politics, the Republican wreck
rs have shown rratlfyinRly poor judg
ment In their underestimate of the pub
lic Intelligence.
Applying a Fair Test.
T'non the ev of the fall election in
1894 to be specific. In Us Issue of Nov.
1 of that year the Scranton Republl---in.
in a. connDicuous editorial, used
these words: "The man who calls him
keif a Republican and cannot vote this
excellent local ticket la a Republican
in name only. He lacks the attributes
of genuine Republicanism. Ills devo
tlon to his party Is only kln deep."
The ticket above referred to com-
prised Joseph A. Scranton for conKress;
Itobert W. Archbald. for law Judge;
Frank H. demons, for sheriff; Thos
D. Davles. for county treasurer; John
II. Thomas, for clerk of the courts;
Clarence E. Pryor, for prothonotary;
John R. Jones, for district attorney;
Charles Huester. for recorder; William
S. Hopkins, for register of wills, and T.
J. Mathews, for jury commissioner
It Ik not derogatory to these gentlemen
to say that they were In no sense more
worthy of Republican support than are
the candidates on the present city
ticket.
At the head of that ticket stands, in
Colonel E. H. Ripple, a man who has
for years been one of the very foremost
citizens of Scranton a man who, In
peace, has been constantly active for
the welfare of others, with a breadth
of view and a readiness of helpful I in
pulse which have never distinguished
between Democrat or Republican,
Protestant, Catholic, Jew or dentlle,
native born or foreign, rich or poor,
No worthy public enterprise In the past
twenty years has failed to benefit from
his active and aggressive interest; no
charity has had to ask hi in twice for
aid; no friend was ever denied a favor
Within his ability to grant. To every
test of manliness he has responded
without exception; in his personality
this active and liberal city would find,
as mayor, an ideal representative.
Look next at Daniel Williams the
tiprlght, unassuming, punctual busi
ness man, in whose record, whether as
private citizen or us a servant of his
ward and of his district in public posi
tion there is not a suspicion of derelic
tion or of taint. . Does he not also ap
peal to Republican support? Can any
true Republican who appreciates ster
ling integrity and dignity of manner
and of methods) hesitate to cast his
Vote for Daniel Williams, his party's
fair choice for city treasurer?
Then scrutinize the charucter of Fred
J. Wldmoyer, tried and found true
during three years of exacting work In
the important office of city controller.
Is there in his honest service for the
city or in his clean and upright per
sonality room for criticism or objection
on the part of any Republican whose
devotion to party is more than "skin
deep"? Has he not done his official
work punctually and well? Has there
been a breath of doubt or a scintilla of
question as to his scrupulous honesty
and fairness? Has the city ever had a
better controller than Mr.' Wldmayer?
Could it do better than to give this
tried and trusted official the customary
compliment of a second term?
Take these candidates, together with
the nominees for assessors, Messrs.
Fowler, Fickus and Dawson; study
their public and private characters, as
men, as citizens, as Republicans; and
tell us where the Republican party
could have found, within this entire
city, a better set of candidates, a list
more clearly deserving of the party's
united and cordial support? Is It any
discredit to these men that they were
the fair choice of a clear and manifest
majority of their fellow Republicans
at the recent party primaries? Are
they to be fought because, after a fair
fight, they and not their opponents,
were successful? Can honest Republl-
ranism be made to believe that honest
ly won victory at a party caucus should
be repaid by treachery at the polls?
We agree with the Scranton Republi
can that "the man who calls himself
a Republican and cannot vote for this
excellent local ticket Is a Republican
In name only. He larks the attributes
of genuine Republicanism! His-devotion
to his partyisonly skin deep."
At two cents per capita, the viaduct
would be the best bargain ticrantonlans
could have.
What Wa Should Like to See.
The action of the government of
Ecuador In calling: a congress of repre
sentatives of aU the republics of the
three Americas to define and Indorse
the, Monroe doctrine and to take steps
toward closer political and commercial
relations brings to the fore the fact
that the next national adrololstratlpn,
Jrhlle bavins to act la Important domes
tic emergencies such, for example, as
the restoration of a protective revenue
tariff and the settlement of the cur
rency problem on a basis of perma
nencywill also In all probability rest
under a greater loud of responsibility In
Its foreigrn affairs than any preceding
administration since the troublous days
of Lincoln.
If the dictum of Secretary Olney be
accepted us true that In this hemisphere
"the fiat of the I'nlted States shall be
law," there will need to be employed in
the guidance of our diplomatic negotia
tions a hand more skilled than that of
some mere politician picked up in the
discharge of a national convention debt.
The questions which loom up in the
near future in this direction such aa
the restoration of reciprocal trade rela
tions with our fellow-American repub
lics, the problem of the construction
and control of the Nicaragua canal,
the destiny ol Hawaii, the fate of Cuba;
und, above all. the definition of a policy
toward the other governments of this
hemisphere which shall fully con
serve our own government's primacy
but which, ut the same time, shall not
give the other republics grounds for
Jealousy, distrust or unfriendly feeling
ure questions which muy not safely
be entrusted to the handling of more
tyroes or bunglers. They will require
the keenest and broadest statesman
ship: and in the successful considera
tion of them the next secretary of state
will huve an opportunity to win for
himself a prestige not secondary to that
of anv Americun of'our time.
It is with u view of these probable
responsibilities that we have felt thut
the retirement of General Harrison
from the presidential field would be
likely to elicit from the next chief ex
ecutive the proffer to him of the honor
able and Important portfolio of state.
This, as yet, is mere conjecture; and
it might be that even If such a proffer
should bo made, the ex-presiilent would
feel called u:ion to decline It In prefer
ence to subjecting the man who should
have made It to the possibility of an
noying comparisons. Rut there is no
room for doubt upon this point, that
were Benjamin Hurrison to become the
next secretary of state, the term
Americanism" would quickly take on
a new meaning and a new dignity, and
nowhere In all the world would a legiti
mate American interest tail to receive
In emergency that steady and earnest
protection which is its moral due.
The Scranton Times of yesterday con
talned its twenty-seventh annual story
about contemplated Republican elec
tion frauds. This romance Is as regu
lar a feature In our contemporary's
yearly calendar as Is either Christmas
day or the Fourth of July.
The Coal Problem, Again.
The one point of criticism made
against the recent restrictive agree
ment of the producers and shippers of
anthracite coal is that It means a rais
ing of the price of fuel among the poor.
If this were true to any lurge degree,
there would yet remain to be deter
mined the point whether such a rais
ing was made in the behalf of equity
and fairness to the owners of coal
mines and to the communities which
are dependent on those mines. Even
poor people ought not to expect to get
a commodity, except tnruugn inuiviu
ual or organized benevolence, at a
cheaper price than it costs to produce
and to transnort that commodity to
the place where It Is offered for sale.
It should be remembered, In this con
nection, that the total available quan
tity of anthracite coal la limited. Like
the timber in our forests, it la rapidly
disappearing, but unlike that timber, it
cannot be replaced. Once gone, it Is
Drone forever. Therefore the man who
sells a ton of coal at a price below the
cost of Its production robs not only hlm
Belf but also the community about him.
He robs the laborer, whose market
rests upon the duration of prosperous
times in the mines; he likewise robs
the merchant, the salesman, the con
tractor, the toiler in the so-called
learned professions, all of whom lose
when the mines lose and are prosperous
when this great arterial Industry is In
a state of flnuncial healthfulness.
Hut the fac t Is, broadly speaking, that
the raising of the wholesale price of
hard coal to a point which will make
the mining of coal a Belf-sustalning
industry does not affect the poor. The
very poor either do not burn nara coai
at all, using the cheaper bituminous
article Instead, or else they buy it in
such small quantities at a time that the
additional 25 or CO cents per ton does
not filter through aa a perceptible in
crement upon their expenses . The
extra charge may be felt by the well-to-do
classes, who order coal by the
ton; but we know of no reason why
persons of this class should be charged
less than a fair market price. They
do not sell their labor or their goods
below cost, if they can help it.
The fact that General Harrison per
sonally favors Allison shows that, lie
properly recognizes the political poten
tiality of the great west.
Some European Moonshine.
The report in foreign papers of. a
possible alliance between England and
the United States In behalf of the Ar
menians is, of course, without founda
tion. While the Monroe doctrine would
not be contravened by a proper a;peal
by this country to the signatory pow
ers to conserve the Interests of human
ity In Asia Minor, it would not permit
either an offensive or a defensive al
liance with an European power, least
of all Great Britain, with whose govern
ment our own has several pending con
troversies, one of which questions the
very validity of the Monroe doctrine.
It Is not to be lightly overlooked, in
this direction, that the latest reference
of Lord Salisbury to the Venezuelan is
suethat embodied in his speech one
week ugo before the Nonconformist as
sociationwas distinctly hostile. As
the Chicago 'Times-Herald points out.
It "consisted of the assertion by Impli
cation, that Great Britain admits the
Monroe doctrine as a rule of policy for
the I'nlted States but that the right to
Interpret the Monroe doctrine when it
a fleets Great Britain lies In Great Brit
ain." Our Chicago contemporary adds,
with equal force, that this allusion
"displays the, venom of a surly and
dogged temper. Lord Salisbury's posi
tion is as illogical as his description of
It Is ill-mannered." . ..
While the feeling "between English
men and Americans, as Individuals. Is.
n the malm one of not easily rup
tured cordiality, the man who Imagines
thut there can ever be entire cordiality
between the governments ut Washing
ton und Westminster loses sight of Ir
reconcilable differences and tendencies.
Let us look at fucts fulrly; let us suy
what we all know to be true, namely,
that the American nation and the Eng
lish nation ore rivals rivals In trade,
rivals In diplomacy and rivals for that
prestige among the nations which, un
til the I'nlted States entered the lists,
was England's by unchallenged con
rent. To blind one's vision to the fact
that every new proof of America's In
creasing success Is an arraignment of
British political ideals, under whose
sway America wa- forced to assert and
afterward to defend Its independence,
3 toobsrure a circumstance which nev
ertheless exists. Not until the mother
country admits by Imitation that the
pr'liticul example of the North Ameri
can ofTsriilng Is preferable to her own
aristocratic and hereditary traditions
can there be a real Anglo-American
alliance.
The Tribune acknowledges with
thanks several 'poems on the local
campaign; but even In politics there are
limits.
The question at Issue one week from
next Tuesday is not the fate of a fac
tion but the supremacy of a party. Do
the Republicans of Scranton want to
see the Democrats in the lead?
General Hnrrison has made enough
frlendj by getting out of the way to
(HI a city, in the main, however, they
are men who think they have pulls on
the other candidates.
Personally, politically and every other
way the present Republican city ticket
stands forth as a model ticket, which
deserves Its party's utmost support. It
is a ticket to win.
.. .
Not the least comical feature of the
Morton presidential boom is its earnest
attempt to take itself seriously.
The organ of the bolters Is having an
amusing time trying to act as if Its
gibberish carried some weight.

right, Is the declaration or independence.
The lust uaratrraph of thut Immortal In

Thp only possible exctisp for there can
be no defense for employment of a verb
or pronoun In the singular with or for
"I'nlted States Is that the words may
thus be treated grammatically when the
unity of the states Is assumed, an-1 when
the thing done or attributed Is collective.
The declaration of Independence, as
quoted, I the complete and conclusive
reply. It Is In their collective capacity
not os Individuals acting each for itself,
that the I'nlted Stotes "huve full power to
