Even Charles Emory Smith, it wo
may believe reports, lias become con
vinced that Senutor Quay's presidential
candidacy is genuine, and not a politi
cal blind. The senator must have some
thins up his sleeve that the multitude
wots not of.
Correcting rilsappretienslons.
We are surprised at the amount of
misconception and (doubtless uninten
tional) untruth crowded Into the fol
lowing paragraph from the esteemed
iWHkes-Barre News-Dealer:
Our esteemed contemporary, the Scran
ton Tribune, Is still eiiKUKed In the taik
of driving Joe Bcranlon. und his news
paper, out of the party. Unt Hcranton res
olutely refuses to iro out. und It looks ns
If The Tribune would have to give up tho
Job. Mr. Serantoii Is one of the pioneer
Republicans of Luzerne, now Jjtiokawun
ti county, and although he differs some
times with the methods of nominating
candidates, is still as good a Republican
as th men who are objecting 'to him.
The Tribune had better abandon the un
dertaking and take up some cause that
will offer more certainty of succeeding.
Our Luzerne neighbor Is entirely mis
taken In Its words. Mr. Scranton and
hla paper left the Republican party
through their own sweet will. They
were not driven. Neither were they
coaxed to stay. Mr. Scranton's paper
has Intimated on one or two occasions
that It wanted to be coaxed; and that
If it had been coaxed It would have sup
ported the last Republican ticket; but In
consideration of the fact that It and Its
proprietor have received in the neigh
borhood of $300,000 from the Republi
can party, at various times, further
coaxing was deemed unnecessary and
uncalled for. That Mr. Scranton's de
sertion to the Democracy was one of
the factors in turning the city govern
ment over to that party Is perhaps true;
but we fall to see why that should
cause the Republican party, which he
betrayed, to entertain kindlier feelings
for him, or to get down on Us marrow
bones and beg him not to betray It
again.
For the News-Dealer's benefit, we will
Bay that The Tribune, having always
supported Republican nominees, even
Mr. Scranton, whom it deemed less
deserving thun many another Republi
can, feels that It has a right to counsel
the Republicans of this city and county
as to the party's future. The party is
at liberty to accept or to reject our
advice. In either case, we shall wel
come back Into the fold every Republi
can who was misled and sound the
alarm at every new danger of fresh
treason.
The newest presidential candidate is
Senator Burrows, of Michigan, who
will, it is stated, get the Wolverine
state's complimentary vote. The Re
publican party might go further and
fare worse than to nominate Burrows.
He Is competent
Cleveland Should Explain.
Mr. Curtis, the well-known Washing
ton correspondent, states "most posi
tively and upon the very highest au
thority" presumably upon that of the
Spanish minister himself, with whom
Mr. Curtis Is exceedingly friendly
that the president has given the Span
ish government an assurance that this
government will take no action In the
way of intervention In the Cuban war,
but will preserve the most strict neu
trality until the end of the present Cu
ban campaign.
Congress, it seems to us, should take
cognizance of this assertion and ascer
tain from Mr. Cleveland whether it be
true or false. If true, congress should
by concurrent resolution emphatically
disavow the imprudent bargain and de
clare Hi belief that this government
should be guided by no fixed rule but
by circumstances. If Mr. Cleveland
has covenanted with Spain to keep
hands off while Weyler carries out his
policy of barbarism In Cuba, he has
plainly exceeded his authority, and
should be called to account. Contingen
cies tnlght . easily arise which would
Imperatively demand American Inter
vention, not only In the protection of
American interests, but also In obedi
ence to the supreme behests of human
ity; therefore, the pathway -to such in
terposition should be kept free.
While no thoughtful American desire
a war with Bpain If It can be honorably
avoided. It ' should be clearly under
stood that the .dread of War will not
causa the American people to shirk
from the full performance of their plain
duty in this afTair. Recreant indeed
would this nation be to the traditions
of its founders if It permitted any
power on earth to stifle Its voice In be
half of liberty, and to gag Its synv
pathy with those who are oppressed.
A timely word has been spoken by
the Philadelphia Inquirer in depreca
tlon of the frrowlng tendency of Repub
llcan presidential boomers to become
abusive of each other. This tendency
simply breeds lll-feellng. It does not
change votes. No man yet named for
the presidency on the Republican side
would deserve an unkind word. All
the candidates are worthy men. Let
us fight like men for our special prefer
ence and yet be decent about it.
Belated Enlightenment.
One of the amusing features of the
contemporary discussion of congress'
action with reference to Cuba Is em
bodied in the dispatch from Berlin
which says;
The Intentions of 'the American govern
ment toward the rebellion in Cuba, as In
dicated by the action of ithe United States
senate, awakens profound interest and
widespread discussion here. The ques
tions involved are not regarded by uny
means as being confined in their effects to
Spain and the United States. The cuoan
resolution Is counted with President
Cleveland's Venezuelan messaec in the
public mind, and 'there seems to be a
uecp-seateu conviction in tne tiuropeau
mind that these incidents mark a deter
mination on tho part of the United States
government ito depart from its time-honored
course of non-intervention in Euro
pean affairs. The American action on the
Cuban question is therefore regarded as
an event of importance to the European
world. Oermany and Austria stand
amazed, and neither statesmen nor public
know how 'to retiard what ithey consider
ns recent frequent evidences that the
United States has formed a new determi
nation to take an active part hereafter in
the world's politics.
Following this there is some general
talk of a Europium alliance to whip the
conceit out of the United States, sup
plemented by an Interview in which
Herr Rlchter, the Radical leader in the
German relchstag. makes with evident
surprise the beluted discovery that "the
United States has undoubtedly become
u new factor in international politics."
We say this Is amusing, but It is mora
than thut. It is likewise Instructive:
it brings vividly to our notice the small
llgure which we have hitherto cut In the
eyes of Europe a circumstance which
expluins why the American tourist
abroad Is often tilled with shame at the
scant respect exhibited by the mass of
Europeans, ofllciuls and commoners,
for his country, Its institutions, pre
tensions and achievements. No one
who has visited the countries
of continental Europe, especially
France and Oermany, has failed to no
tice and to feel the general contempt
prevalent in them for America and
Americans. When we are not held up
to derision as long-haired savages liv
ing in primeval jungles, we are equally
misrepresented by being described as
unprincipled cheats and adventurers,
devoid of sensibility, culture or the or
dinary decencies of civilized society.
That upon these shores a government
of freemen has been established with
natural and acquired resources greater
than those of all Europe combined, with
the possible exception of Great Britain;
and that these despised republican bar
barians who live on buffalo meat and
frequent the forests are actually wrest
ing the leadership among civilized na
tions In Inventions, scientific discovery,
mechanical progress and Boclal evolu
tion is a fact so far beyond the aver
age European's ken. It Is with a sense of
shock and resentment hat he is now
and again forced by the logic of events
into a fleeting and imperfect realiza
tion of it.
The occasions of this compulsory en
lightenment heretofore have been few,
thanks to our absorption In more im
mediate problems of domestic politics.
But .now that Uncle Sam has reached
man's estate, and has begun to exhibit
a virile anxiety to assume without
flinching the responsibilities of man
hood, we should not be surprised If our
French and German friends would have
many opportunities for correcting their
old estimates of America's power and
Importance.
Besides, Cuba and Venezuela are not
parts of Europe.
One of the political stories of the
hour Is that Governor Morton of New
York, having decided that spending
money on his presidential boom is not
likely to prove a profitable Investment,
has closed his check book. The report
la creditable If true. Anybody with
half an eye can see that Morton's can
didacy is simply a pretence. The soon
er he sees this himself, the better for
his peace of mind. 1
An Indiscreet Interview.
The Spanish minister at Washington,
Senor de Lome, Is quoted in a cur
rent press dispatch as having. In an
Interview, used the following extraor
dinary language:
The rebellion In Cuba never would have
been a serious matter at all had It not
been for the interference of the Unltd
States. It never would have passed the
limits of a mere riot had It not been for the
money, supplies, arms and men that were
sent from this rountry. Men have gone
from this country with the assurance that
the United States would extend belligerent
rights to the Cubans ami would in all
probability send a fleet to Cuban waters
support the Insurgents. At no time have
the authorities In this country given the
aituntion In Cuba a fair investigation to
ascertain what the facts actually are. It
has been said that all Cubans are actively
Interested In the rebellion, but the truth
of the matter Is that there are seven Cu
ban generals and several hundred Cuban
officers fighting in the Spanish army in
Cuba. In fact I am sure there are more
Cuban officers In the Spanish armr than
there are whtte leaders among tlm in
surgents. All this I am telling you from
what I know personally and not In my of
ficial capacity.
It will be Interesting to notice
whether the American state department
will recognize and acquiesce In Senor
de Lome's fine distinction between his
official and his "personal" capacity. In
the case of the Hawaiian minister.
Lor In A. Thurston, it refused to dis
tinguish between these two forms of
utterance, and Invited Thurston's re
call because of outgivings to newspaper
.correspondents decidedly less offen
sive In form and substance than the
foregoing; statement of the Spanish
diplomat
Senor de Lome's remarks amount to
a grave criticism of the American gov
ernment and the American people.
Even If what he said were literally
true, the propriety of such an utter
ance at this particular time la open to
serious question. But not true, his as
sertions become a deliberate offense,
which according; to diplomatic usage,
would Justify a request for his recall.
Should the matter be passed over in
slltnce, it would be another proof of our
magnanimity and forbearance.
At the recent lire in a collar factory
In Troy, In which four lives were lost,
the firemen were unable to work to ad
vantage because of the network of over
head electric wires which impeded
them. In recognition of this fact the
grand jury of Rcnnsehier county has
presented Indictments against the tele
graph, telephone and electric light
companies. Should the case reach trial,
it would afford an Interesting opportun
ity for the courts to pass on the over
head wire nuisance.
The Philadelphia Bulletin is, we be
lieve, the only American newspaper
which out-Weylers Weyler in its abuse
of the Cuban patriots. It calls tho
"adventurers," a "murderous horde,"
an "Ignominious rabble" and most
other names in tho vocabulary of con
tempt, and would apparently like to see
them all hanged, drawn and quartered.
We suspect that the Bulletin would
have made a first rate court journal for
King George III had It been published
during the Amcrlcnn revolution.
An Interesting example of tho exigen
cies of journalism is supplied In the
statement that B. H. Butler, who pre
pared for yesterday's . Pittsburg Times
a graphic special article with regard to
the Russian oil trade and Its bearing
upon the petroleum Industry In Amer
ica, traveled 10,000 miles for the Infor
mation embodied In the article, and was
sent on this long journey upon less than
six hours' notice.
The authorized announcement of C.
I Magee's candidacy for state sena
tor from the Forty-third or Pittsburg
district probably means that the hand
some Allechcnian wants unother
wrestle with his former friend from
Beuver. Doubtless Senator Quay will
uccommodate lilm.
In 1SU4. under the reciprocity clause
of the McKlnley tariff, we exported
i38.flC.1,r.C4 worth of cattle at good prices.
In 1S.", under Cleveland and the Wilson
tariff, we exported only $::6,!97,"01 worth,
n falling off of Jll,96.r,8r.:i In one year.
This is how Democracy benefits the
cattle grower.
In 1894, we Imported, under the Mc
Klnley law, $S,3C1,8C worth of wool.
In 1895, under the Wilson law, we Im
ported $3:1.770.139 worth. In 1S4 we ex
ported l.TU.n", sheep; In 1895, 3,310,9:16.
This Is how Democracy benefits the
wool grower.
The reason why Mr. Whitney doesn't
want to run for president on the Dem
ocratic, ticket is said to be because he
does not believe the Democratic candi
date can be elected. In which respect
Mr. Whitney's head is clearly hori
zontal.
Mr. Whitney asserts, despite the
"gold bug" clamor, that International
bimetallism will be a fact Inside of five
years. Mr. Whitney's proper placo evl
dently Is In the Republican party.
THE HYPNOTIZED REPORTER.
As I am supposed to be hypnotized per
haps things appear to me In a different
light than they should. It Is possible that
1 am looking under the surface by the
nld or X ravs Ihsl Hie twisted, in any
event there Is much both above and be
neath the surface thut liraka queer. One
of the things (hut .nuzzled me recently
was tne action or certain advocates or
good government who voted to put the
party in control in our municipal offices
that has ulreauy begun to turn tne af
fairs of the city Into a chuotlc state, uul
this is n old subject; one that has been
exhausted by. explanatory writers und
may now be dropped.
I have also been somewhat mystified by
the agitation over cookery that has caused
talk about tho city, and astonished to
find to what depths Scranton has de
scended, gaslronomlcally speaking.
Maria I'arloa. the celebrated cook who
gave lectures here several years, ago, was
loud in her uralsps of Scranton groceries.
Hcruiiiton murkels. and even went so far
u to display, an admiration for Scranton
people. She unhesitatingly declared I Mat
Scran ton- possessed the finest marketing
facilities of any city that she had ever vis
ited, outside of the four or five metropoli
tan cities. Since 'the arrival of Mrs.
Rorer I am shocked to discover that Pc ron
ton Is in an alarming state. In addition to
eating bread, eggs, m.'at, soup and other
things unhealthy, well meaning but mis
guided citizens have been using cotton
seed oil to lubricate their entrees. Con
solation Is derived from the statement
that cotton seed oil Is "harmless" even if
It does taste worse than axle-grease. In
view of all these facts It is hard to
understand why Mrs. Rorer should wane
her time teaching people o cook un
healthy food. Why not give recipes for
the preparation of macaroni, cotton ed
and bean soup and spend tho rest of the
course In advising unfortunate residents
to leave the city.
By the wsy, another matter occasionally
swings to the surface In a way that mak.'S
one nervous. That is the talk of the germ
enthusiast. This city, like other. Is
blessed with several uneasy Individuals
who delight In worrying timid residents
with storlea of microbes that threaten to
destroy us. Barber shops are dangerous,
towels and soap positively deadly and citi
zens generally are warned not to ex
pectorate, as the germs will leap from the
dust and take wings on the air and sow
seeds of disease und destruction every
where. Milk has become dangerous In the
extreme und never should be tnken raw.
All kinds of meals are inhabited by
germs of threatening character. And
water! The man who drinks water that
has not been boiled down .to jelly, takes
great risks. No mention Is made of beer
in this connection or of the persons who
eject tobacco juice on the sidewalks. It
Is not claimed that a microbe ran exist In
beer or tobacco. This Is the one cheerful
aspect in the germ agitation. Keniember,
I do not presume 40 doubt the statements
of germ experts. I only wonder that we
are yet alive amid such awful surround
ings. DM you ever consider the peculiar styl
of architecture- that has i harj. tTiz-I
Scranton's recent building booms? In
you know that for one decent, convenient
modern building erected In the city a
dozen balloon business shanties or lll
comrlved dwelling houses are built? That
where one substantial foundation has
been laid a dozen dangerous structures
have been erected upon almost no founda
tion at all? It Is to be regretted that
these nro facts. Within the fire limits
many flimsy, one-story buildings, with
thin brick walls stand In unsightly con
trast beside the handsome- edifice thr.t
enterprising citizens have erected on our
principal business street. Away from the
business thoroughfares uncouth, barn-like
dwellings' are springing up like mush
rooms on all sides. Increasing 4he cost ( f
Insurance and damaging property near.
These shells are held at a rental that
makes it Impossible for the average ten
ant to occupy one unleea he Urns it Into
a boarding or lodging house, frlany fami
lies therefore are obliged to forego the
pleasure of home and "camp eut," so to
speak, lodging In one house and eating
In another, flood tenants are difficult to
secure for houses of this sor'.f and the
j,viri,j (wi iu utrvw? ran;.
Some years aRo'the experiment of erect
ing rows or ei twit I houses to ue reni-u
for a moderate irl"e was tried, ine ex
ttense of tmllillnir four m-3ll houses was
not much greater than the cost of two cf
the big burn-like structures. The revenue
from Ihe four houses has been much more
than that received from two large nouses,
and while it Is sometimes iliftictilt to llnd
tenants for the latfr, the small dwellings
nro rtr-ver vacant. The capitalist who will
erect anywhere la the central city small
houses or evrn mnrlern Hals that can be
rented at reasonable rales nerd never
he In want for good tenants., in spexK
Inir of flats. I do not mean 'the Ill-con
t rived fire-traps that -pass for flats In some
portions of tho city, but apartments con
structed upon up-to-date plans. I hope
that some of our capitalists will yet be
made to see the feasibility of such a
scheme. I am convinced that no better
Investment could tie made wlln com
cash. In fact I am almost persuaded that
such property would be more profitable
than Hazloton or MchuylKHl mine mocks.
II Lit FIRST SEttlOl'S CANDIDATE.
From the Philadelphia Times.
For the first time In the history of tho
Republican party the delegation from this
slato will present a candidate for presi
dent whose nomination is earnestly de
sired. The delegation that gave a nomi
nal support to Cameron In Us'JO and the
delegation that gave a nominal support to
Hanranlt In lfiTii, did not expect the suc
cess of their candidates, and a majority
of tho delegation really did not uesira it,
Cameron wa-s made a candidate to servo
ulterior purposes which were accom
plished by his appointment to the cabi
net, and Haruatift was made the candi
date solely for the purpose of defeating
the nomination ot n aine. nan uie aoie
gates from Pennsylvania who desired
UUine's nomination been permitted to
vote for him from the start, he would
have been nominated on the second Dai'
lot.
The delegation from Pennsylvania to
the coming St. Louis convention will fc
Very earnestly for yuay. Like all delega
tions there will be exceptions, but they
will be rare. A few will prefer the nomi
nation of some other candidate, but they
are not likely to oppose the overwhelming
sentiment of the party In the state that
calls for giving Quay a fair chance for the
nomination. With the support he has
from his own state he will certainly tie
in the HH of hopeful cundldutes, although
two of his comoetltors may lead him on
the first ballot, but whether ho shall be
nominated or not, it must now tie eviueni
to all dispassionate observers of the situa
tion that no man can be nominated as the
Itepuhltcaii candidate for president with
out the support of ytiuy.
