Senatnr-rlf'rt Foraktr will nomlnntc
McKlnley ut St. Louis, but he will not
have any Garfield ambitions concealed
up his sleeve.
Calling a Halt.
Ah the battle for the Republican pres
idential nomination prosresses, there
are unnleasant signs of an unwelcome
Increase In acerbity of temper amoriB
the respective champions. Home of this
is doubtless unavoidable: but a good
deal of It Is fairly chargeable to the
overzealousness of Indiscreet friends, of
whom Major McKlnley seems to have
rather more than the average quota.
The Ohio candidate Is doubtless per
sonally free from responsibility for the
various efforts which have been made
In hla nnmn tn onnlYinrh snmewhat dls
respectfully upon the territory of tlta
rival candidates. He probably has not
authorized nor personally encouraged
the Ma gee revolt from Quay in Penn
sylvania; the Whltelaw Reld antt-Plntt
revolt from Morton In New York; the
Kohlsaat revolt from Cullom In 11
llnols; the Thurston revolt from Man
derson In Nebraska; the anti-Davis
movement In Minnesota, and the spo
radlc attempts of certain of his admirers
to capture a delegate here and there
In New England, Reed's natural ter
rltory, and also In Iowa, the home of
Senator Allison. But these things have
been done, ostensibly for his benefit,
and the result of them Is seen In the
(trowing disposition of the opposition
candidates to hold McKlnley to ac
count. It Is no, doubt a consequence of this
disposition that we now begin to hear
charges and counterchurges which
might well bo left tinsnhl. On tho anti
McKlnley sldf the claim Is already put
forth that the McKlnley boomers are
seeking to capture Irresponsible dele
Kates from tho politically hopeless far
Poll til by the corrupt use of nif.npy;
while as an offset, the McKlnley boom
ers' set up the plea that "Piatt, Quay
A Co.," as they Irreverently dub the
field, have plotted to capture the St.
I,ouls convention by seating spurious
Southern contestants. We dare say
that most of this mock-thunder is em
ployed in the first place by men who
use It wholly for political effect, and
rare nothing for " 'ntrlhslc character.
But the reiteration of such artificial
clap trap In cotirsa of time takes root
in Inexperienced minds and breeds dis
cord nnd scandal. Tt therefore should
Dr promptly halted.
The nominee ot the St. Louts con
vention, whoever he may be, will need
the support of his entire party, f'undl
dates who. If successful, would ex
pect that should conduct themselves
accordingly.
While Major McKlnley Is entitled to
full credit for his magnificent work In
behalf of protection, there need be no
peneral apprehension that his nomina
tion Will be essential to the vitality of
the protective principle. There were
pood protectionists before bis day, and
there will be good ones after It.
The Lamentations of (iodkin
These are sad, sad days for the New
Tork Evening Post. It hasn't been
happy one whole moment since Cleve
land wrote his Venezuela message, un
less, Indeed, It finds u kind of emascu
lated happiness In being real miserable.
Day after day It mumbles forth Its tale
of woe, never missing un Issue except
Sundays, when it doesn't print. The
whole atmosphere In Its iclnlty Is
moist with Its lamentations, and the
worst of It Is that tt sees absolutely
no relief ahead.
"The present congress," It observes
In the course ot one of Its particularly
disconsolate and Irreconcilable whines,
"the most dangerous we have had
since the civil war, and rapidly becom
ing the most odious, has been in session
three months, and during that time has
put itself in fighting attitude three
times. Although we have no army, no
navy, no fortifications, although we
have a treasury deficit and have been
near to suspension and the silver stand
ard, this congress has 'stood behind
Cleveland' In hla unnecessary quarrel
with Great Britain, has threatened
Turkey, and denounced Europe for not
dismembering- her, and Is now threaten
inf Spain about a matter which 'does
not concern us, under pretense of a re
gard for humanity. If all this is done
la the green tree what shall be done In
the dry? If this is the measure of our
common sense when we have neither
soldiers, shins, forts, nor money, what
will happen when we have all of them?"
Pies its dear old soul, the Post
needn't worry. There are no serious
symptoms that the attitude of congress
In defense of public justice will bring
on horrid war. As the humorous Wash
ington Post amiably says: "This na
tion does not desire to meet any other
In hostile array on land or sea. It Is as
Innocent as Koko of a wish to kill any
body. Looking back a little more than
a hundred years we find the country
emerging from a long war In which It
gained Independence. Two foreign
wars and one domestic war have fallen
to the lot of this nation since the revo
lution. But all this has not nuule us a
bloodthirsty people. Under the com
pulsion of patriotic duty we take up
arms. When that duty has been per
formed we lay down our arms and re
sume the works and ways of peace."
And even If war should come In the
line of honorable duty, the Tost Bhould
remember that Canada is near; It can
turn tall and make for the Queen's do
minions whenever the pressure upon
Its overwrought nerves becomes too
painful for further endurance.
The practice In making up the roll In
Republican national conventions has
been to enroll the uncontested delega
tions first, and then to make up the
credentials committee from this uncon
tested element, leaving to the commit
tee the task of deciding the contests.
Such a course of procedure is eminently
fair, nnd we quite agree with ex-Secretary
Fassett that it will be a good pre
cedent to follow next June.
Practical Instru..lon.
; A list of sixteen questions wai re
cently Hlilnnitled by t'ity Hupcrinten
(lent Howell to the teuchers of Scran
tun, with a request for an Immediate
answer. It is sal. I that nut more than
three teachers correctly replied to all
of them offhand. The questions were
In turn submitted to pupils in the Inter
mediate grade, and the result is that a
decided Interest lias been awakened
umong our younpr folks In local geog
raphy. The questions follow:
(live population of Serunton anil Lack
awanna county,
liouml the county.
Give the number of railroails In the
county.
Name tho capital of the county.
What Is the chief soil production of tho
county?
What is th county peat and name the
officers In the court house?
Name the officers in the Municipal
building.
Name the water courses In the county,
(live tho number of townships in the
county,
dive the length of the county from
north to south ami from east to west.
(live the value of the real estate In the
county.
Hive the value of the real estate In the
city.
Which Is the highest salaried officer
In the county? Give his name.
To what congressional district do we
belong?
(live the number of cities in the county.
What makes a city?
It has been said that children In the
Intermediate grade are too young to
comprehend Instruction of this nature,
but we do not believe It. Doubtless the
purpose In submitting these questions
was merely to suggest a new line of In
quiry, which too often Is absent from
school work. We do not suspect that
Professor Howell expected each young
boy or girl to answer correctly all or
even half of these queries in an hour
or a day, especially In view of the fact
that not many adults, though they be
college graduates learned in the higher
branches, could successfully run such
a gauntlet. We infer that he wanted
to give an object lesson, to parents and
teachers, as well as to pupils, teaching
how generally real geography Is ig
noredthe geography, we mean, which
has present practical usefulness.
In this sense, the little ruse will un
questionably have value. It Is a good
thing to see the schools mude practlcul
and to the point.
The lialtlmore council, which Is Re
publican, has taken away from the
mayor, also a Jteimbllcnn, the appoin
tive power because the muyor, hav
ing been elected on a non-partisan
platform, insisted upon appointing
Democrats as well as Republicans to
ollh e. The Jiultlinore Idea seems to be
thnt platforms arc declarations to con
ceal Instead of to reveal purposes.
Re Done with It.
Conservative sentiment with proprie
ty insisted that before the United States
formally took a step in behalf of Cuba
which might, under certain possible
contingencies, lead to a war with Spain,
it should first be sure of its ground. It
was In obedience to this dictate of pru
dence that the congress of the United
States refrained for several months
from voicing Its belief that the revolu
tionists of Cuba are entitled to belliger
ent rights. Congress was not moved to
action until Spain herself, by recalling
from the seat of war her concededly
ablest general, Jlartln Campos, and
placing In his stead us general-in-chlel
the notorious butcher. Weyler, virtually
admitted the hclliserenry of the Cu
bans in urnis. That substitution, with
its quick complement of honors in the
field, Its summary arrest and Imprison
ment of Innocent men, women and chil
dren. Its unblushing cancellation of the
light of private ownership of property
and Its produiiiutory repetitions of the
cruelties of Torqiivniuda and Alva,
aroused the American people to a keen
sense of their manifest duty; and the
belligerent resolutions were overwhelm-
tnglyladopttd by both the senate and
the house.
Face to face with this portentous fact,
the excitable Spaniards grew riotous
and many of our people, having no wish
to appear precipitous, urged that final
action on the resolutions be again pru
dentlally delayed. Our own opinion Is
that this argument errs on the side of
unwarranted timidity; and that It
would, If deferred to, give the Spanish
nation a false and unfair Impression.
The Inference which Spain would draw
from such a postponement would be
that American sympathy for Cuba had
cooled; that it was, after all, merely
a passing ebullition, and that the path
is now clear to a fulfilment in deserted
Cuba ot the original Weyler programme
of torture, spoliation and vengeance.
For this reason we submit that the
United States congress, having once ex
pressed Itself by a majority amounting
almost to unanimity, cannot consist
ently draw back, and, in Justice tc
Cuba, to the American people and to It
self, must put the concluding period to
Its message of friendship for Spain's
Cuban victims. Such a course la dear
ly within our privilege. Such a course
Is plainly enjoined by moral law. To
falter at the crisis would be worse than
to have remained silent from the be
ginning.
. At the Rhode Island Republican con
ventlon Tuesday Governor Llppitt pre
sented a few interesting figures. II
called attention to the fact that during
the eighteen months of the Wilson tariff
from March, 'Si, the deficiency of re
ceipts was $74,S5S.024. In 1SS bank
clearings amounted to $:,3.:,01, 000.000; In
1S2 to StfO.SHa.OflO.nW); In 1SBI, to $tr.,017,
000,000; in 1X95. to $!W,U.0,WiO,0fHl. In til
twenty-seven years beginning with isiiu
under Republican protection the public
debt decreased $1,747,301, 878, un average
annual decrease of $01.71 1.SSI. During
the three years since 1S93 under Dem
ocratic free trade the debt increased
$J37,nS0,!10, an average nnnual Increase
of $79,193,6:;7. Figures like these, that
cannot be disputed because they are
official, are what make our Democratic
friends weary.
A year ago seven Connecticut woolen
mills, five at Rockville and two at Nor
wlch, employed altogether 1.70O men.
Now they employ one-half that number
at from one-eighth to one-quarter time.
Of 32 New England mills In operation
then, 11 have since shut down entirely.
10 are on one-fourth time, 5 nro on one
eighth time, 1 In on one-half time und
2 have practically gone out of business,
In these mills, 7,500 laborers have been
thrown Idle, their wage loss tor tho
year being estimated at $2,625,000. The
Wilson bill's free wool clause has icr
talnly been a ureal thing for the for
eigners.
Down in Franklin county a number
of factionists sought for private pur
poses to rulse the Quay Issue In tin
uomlnntion of a county ticket, and even
put Willing Leach and the Philadelphia
Inquirer to mix In. Mitt the Republi
cans of Kiuukiln county, under the us
tute leadership of Alexander Stewart
and cx-Rppresentutlve M. A. Foltz. re
sented this misuse of the senator's
name, nominated a ticket of their own
choosing and then gave Quay as line an
indorsement us he ever had. This cir
cumstance is Instructive.
The retinal of the Hritlth home sec
retary to rea;en the Maybtick case Is
natural and logical, Mrs. Maybrlck
was fairly tiled nnd duly convicted of
a heinous crime; In the default of new-
evidence sufficient to Inspire a reason
able doubt as to her guilt, a re-open-
tng of her case would be a step of
obvious Imprudence.
There Is a story that part of the bar
gain at Chicago in 'H2 by which Harrity
made way for drover was that Pattison
should Inherit Cleveland's mantle In
'116. If this Is true, we fear that Robert
E. received the shuck end of the deal.
We cannot blame de Lome for work
ing hard to earn his salary. The only
point of objection Is the undiplomatic
methods he uses.
It Is fortunate that the supply of
Republican senatorial timber In Ken
tucky Is so much on the SHpling order.
During all these days It Is observed
that Thomas C. Piatt Is not saying a
word.
The verdict of Iowa Is that Allison
has quite enough backbone for it.

When the constitution of the proposed
Cuban republic was seml-oftlciallv pub
lished here some time ago, a certain mem
ber of the senate foreign relations com
mittee made merry over Its somewhat
elaborate provisions for marriage cere
monies. The fact ihat the constitution of
a proposed new nation contained minute
regulations of the marriage ceremony was
deemed evidence of the amateurishness If
not the Incompetency, of the men who
wished to be builders of ti e Cuban re
public. The senator in question was so
much amused by this constitutional regu
lation of marriage that he proposed to
make a speech on the subject, Induiirln?
