SCRANTON. FEBRUARY IS, 1S96.
We proudly call attention to the fuct
that The Tribune went through this
rnmpulgn without cracking a slngl
X-ray Joke.
A Popular Candidacy.
MarFhaM Ciichlns. one of the kcrnr-st
of tln lynx--yeil men who mnki a
liiiMlni'ss lit Washington of studying po
ll' ical opinion from a news stand
point, piYmiv.inops "wonilorfu!" the
power that Senator Quay lias anions
4'ho Iteptibll.-an leaders everywhere,
pai tfcularly anions the class of Ite
puMleans who do the party's hard fight
ing1. "Thev reeoKiile In him." says he,
"not only a man whose victories have
teen Krenter and against greater odds
than those of any other Hepiildtean
campaigner, but they recall that he has
gone through the lire of attark and
slander, and they Ilka him for that
partly berause they themselves, In their
own smaller way, of course, have suf
fered a, great ilenl of It."
Commenting upon this, the Klmlra
Advertiser, owned by J. Slont Fassett,
who, It will generally be admitted, is
something of a fighter himself, declares
If to be the literal truth. It adds: "The
splendid courage and high abilities of
the man have endeared him tohe mil
lions of yountf progressive Republicans
of the Toiled States." Mr. Fassett. al
though at odds with Piatt, is for Mor
ton, and will be for him as long as his
name shall be before the Ht. Iouls con
vention. But between the lines of his
paper's editorials on Quay It Is not
difficult to detect a wish that Morton
were politely out of the way so that
the thlck-and-thin. up-and-down He
publicans of the Kmplre ptate might
yet turn In for a stalwart of their own
type, Just as West Virginia Ilepubll
cans threaten to do after casting n
complimentary ballot for Senator F.l
klns. And it Quay can command such
a sentiment as this anions the nntl
Plattltes of York state, thre need be
little doubt as to where the Piatt forces
themselves would stand, with Morton
once off their hands.
It Is the general belief, and Senator
Quay has not taken any particular
pains to modify It, that his candidacy
is a strategic move rather than a seri
ous bid for the party nomination. In
that sense It is unquestionably satis
factory, since lf will mean a reunited
party In Pennsylvania. Nor. do we in
candor think that his chance of winning
at St. I.ouls Is sufficiently large as yet
to necessitate anxiety. But It Is al
ready certain that he will command a
following beyond the limits of his. own
commonwealth a following made up of
party stalwarts who have no special
liking for statuesque figureheads and
good-looking automata In politics, but
who think this an auspicious year for
the recognition of the actual and active
leaders of the party. Among this class
of Republicans Senator Quay Is un
doubtedly popular more popular, per
haps, than any other living man. They
admire him for his radical dissimilarity
to the conventional type of dressed-up
candidate, poised and posed by men be
hind the scenes. And whether they
nominate hint or not and in conven
tions they are powers they will at
least see that he gets a good testi
monial vote.
The fact of the matter is that Sena
tor Iavis, In his demand for a specific
enunciation of the Monroe doctrine by
congress, has all the arguments and all
the common sense on his Bide. ' The ad
in
m
I
ministration's plea for silence is pretty
.veil understood by the country as slm-
y a bid by Orover Cleveland for a
ionopoly of the political advantages
arising from "Jingoism."
An Indication of Friendliness.
Th overture of President Diaz of
Mexico to Great Britain and Venezuela
for the amicable purpose of restoring
diplomatic relations between those two
countries is an act which, whatever the
Issue of it, will reflect credit upon the
Mexican government. During the stir
ring diplomatic incidents of the past
year or so. In which have been affect
ed interests vital to the welfare of
republican government in the western
hemisphere. Mexico, so far as ofliclal
returns show, has kept studiously neu
tral. The present overture may be
taken as an Indication that this neu
trality has not arisen from indiffer
ence. ,
A pleasant feature of the affair, and
one which ought to confirm the Ameri
can people in their determination to
stand in the future as in the past, for
the complete observance of the Monroe
doctrine In letter and in spirit, con
sists of the fact that when news of the
friendly disposition of President Diaz
reached the government of Venezuela,
It was Immediately , communicated by
Mr. Andrade, the Venezuelan minister
at Washington, ' to Secretary ,'OIney,
with a request for his advice. ' In' the
presence of Minister Andrade: and
Minister Romero of Mexico,, the matter
was discussed by. Secretary Olney In
all Its bearings, and 1t was decided to
defer active negotiations along this lint
until the settlement of the. major ques
tion of Jurisdiction oyer tha territory
in dispute between Venezuela and
British Ouiaiui should open a fair way
to a consideration of the question o
damages which was the immediate
cause of the severance of diplomatic
relations between Venezuela and Kng
land.
This circumstance, while not weighty
In Itself, is significant as Indicating
the high regard held by both Venezuela.
and Mexico for the favor and friendli
noss of the United States. It Is. so to
speak, a straw which shows that amoncr
the loading southern republics there
exists a feeling of political kinship witli
the republic of the I'nited States tha
augurs well for the future. It may be
many years before this feeling will have
occasion to confer a direct benefit upon
us, but it is, in any event, a mora
resource of which Americans muy
without undue vanity feel proud.
-
The uprising tendency to give vent to
our feelings by means of n campaign
poem will be firmly repressed.
The Result.
While at the hour of writing 2 a
m. authentic returns were missing
from more than half of the 07 dis
tricts In the city, the probabilities
seemed to point to a victory for the
Democratic ticket by a narrow margin
This result, while momentarily dis
couraging to honest Republicanism, as
appearing to indicate the possible sue
cess of an unscrupulous attempt frnm
within the patty to cause party dlsus
ter, will have In the final outcome the
desirable effect of enlightening the
masses of the party as to their real
friends. Jt takes no gift of cluirvoy
ance to foresee a time, and that not
far remote, when hundreds of Republi
cans who were yesterday led astray
by deceiving counsel will awaken to
the full meaning of the disaster which
they have unwittingly wrought,' nrnl
will curse the deliberate instrument!: of
their deception. The appeal yesterday
was made to prejudice, and prejudice;
seems to have dominated. Hut after
the subsidence of prejudice will follow
th reaction toward sober reason, and
to this we safely and confidently ap
peal.
It Is gratifying to remember that dur
ing the recent campaign all the ubuse
and personal vilification came from the
opposition. If the completed count
shall reveal a Republican defeat, it will
be a defeat with honor a defeat which
will unerringly grow Into ultimate vic
tory. It Is possible to fool the people
for a time; but after the fooling will
come the awakening, and then there
will be a Just accounting. We feel surer
of nothing thun that this wanton stiik
ing down of a man personally esteemed
as Is Colonel Ripple will yet result in
such a strengthening of his hold upon
the people that from his hour of sacrl
flee on the altar of bigotry and private
malice will date his certain triumph
In the meantime, The Tribune extends
to the Democratic beneficiaries of Re
publican treachery the compliments of
the season, and hopes that they will
prove able to enter upon their official
duties with a clear path toward honest
and capable administration, and with
out embarrassing obligations to the
treacherous abbettors of their success.
One result of the balloting will be to
throw a vast deal of second-hand pre
judice upon the market at dirt-cheap
rates.
Proposed New States.
There seems to he a likelihood that
the American people will one of these
days be afflicted with a new state-mak
ing fad. The propositions to make
three states out of Texas and two out of
California are old: but two others af
fecting remotely distant localities are
comparatively new. One of these con
templates the making of a new state
out of Delaware, and those parts of
Maryland and Virginia popularly
known as the "eastern shore." It would
include, of Maryland, the counties of
Kent, Queen Anne, Caroline, Talbot,
Dorchester, Wlcomoco, Somerset and
Worcester; and of Virginia, the counties
of Accotnac and Northampton. This
proposed state would have a population
of XI.219 as against the ICS, 493 present
population of Delaware. It would ex
ceed in population1 ITtah, Rhode Island,
North and South Dakota, Vermont,
Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Wyoming:,
Washington and Oregon.
The second dream of a new common
wealth emanates from the "zenith city
of the unsalted seas," Duluth, which
wants a separate state, to be called
Superior," created out of parts of
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan.
It is proposed to let the lower peninsu
lar of Michigan, with Its 41,000 square
miles of area and Its 2,0:'.:!,9G5 people,
form a state by Itself. The new state
of Superior would be composed of the
northern half, or a little more, of the
present Minnesota, together with Doug
las county and small parts of Burnett,
Washburn and Ilayfield counties In the
present Av isconsiu. Its eastern and
southern boundary line would be de
scribed in part by the Iron and Tolo
galic rivers In Wisconsin, then by the
St. Croix river down to the forty-sixth
parallel of north latitude, thence by thl.s
parallel west to Morrison county,
whence it would be bo drawn as to In
clude Morrison county, the northwest
ern half of Stearns and nil of Pope,
Stevens and Traverse counties. Minne
sota would- be composed of the southern
half of the present state and that part
of the present Wisconsin west of the
Black river. Including nearly all of Tay
lor county, the northwest half of Lin
coln county and half of Oneida county,
together with Oogeblc and Ontonagon
counties in upper Michigan, the north
eastern boundary being coincident with
the Ontonagon river. The state of Wis
consin would be composed of the rest
of the present Wisconsin, together with
the remainder of upper Michigan,
This arrangement would give Michi
gan 41,364 square miles, Wisconsin,
46,433, practically, the same as the area
of New Tork; Minnesota, - 60,882; Su
perior, 50,350. It would leave Michigan
with 1,790,(18 populatlon.and Minnesota.
"
with l.aOt.SGtt population, while It would j
wlia l.Tstt.18 population, while it would I
give In the new state 41T,3!7 population. '
These projects in their present form j
are fanciful, yet it takes little foresight I
to serccive that in time the Idea of re
adjustment and subdivision of present
state boundaries will take on serious
proportions.
What with the Allison boom, the Man
derson boom, the Cullom boom and the
Cush K. Davis boom, the new west
ought to feel quite chipper, these days.
An Excellent Suggestion.
The Chicago Times-Herald urges that
patriotic ceremonies on Lincoln's birth
day be more generally observed In the
future than in the past. It thinks that
every pulpit in the land, on the Sunday
prior, should conduct patriotic services,
"with Lincoln, his great deeds, his In
valuable sei'vicea to the world, his pure
life, prominently discussed In all the
churches In the republic;" and that
Lincoln exercise oucht to be held, the
Friday before, in every American school
room, public, private and parochial.
Our western contemporary adds:
"Every schoolhouse and church
would thus bivome an Institution for
teaching patriot Ism. In a republic
like nuts, the niuilrl republic, we must
depend largely upon the patriotism of
the people. W'e have no great stand
ing army. If danger conies to tin all
thut we need Is n patriotic people, such
as we have today: from such a people
will spring at the call uf authority, all
of the soldiers that will be needed In
protecting our country, no mutter
whether one or Iwilf a dozen powers ut
tack. Let us impress these thoughts
again and nsuiii upon preachers and
teachers and luiiic for a vast Increase
of demonstrations on Lincoln's next
birthday over tlxine of any previous
year."
To these prudent words little can be
added save an iitwiualllled Indorsement.
Those who have necorded to the won
derful life of Lincoln Hint thought
which Its far-reaching lessons and con
sequences warrant do not need to be
told that exercises fittingly commemo
rative of his birth must, from the very
nature of the mun, tench In combina
tion the truest religion and the purest
patriotism. The inspiration and Im
port of such a career can never be too
familiar to the citizenshlo of the gov
ernment which, under (Sod, he laved.
If there were such a thing as common
sense among the senatorial free silver
it es. they would now perceive that they
have had their Inning and that hence
forth it is lofclcnlly the tariff's chance.
The government or Mexico sanctions
bull fights but opposes prize lights. It
needs a lesson in consistency.
Suppose Nansen has found the North
Pole. The question arises, What of It?
NOT SO SERIOUS.
