REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION. (To the Republican electors of Pennsylva . nla. The Republicans of Pennsylvania, by their duly rhonen representatives, will meet In state convention Thursday, April EI, 1896. at 10 o'clock u. m., In tht opera house, city of Harrisuurtr. for the pur pose of nominating two canillrtuu-s for representative-at-large In congress anil thirty-two candidates for presidential electors, the selection of eight delegates-at-large to h Ht-publicun natlonul con vention, and for the transaction of such other business as muy be presented. By order of the state committee. M. S. Quay, Attest: Chairman. Jere B. Rex, W. R. Andrews, Secretaries. The point Is well taken that if the next legislature Is to be a reform leg islature, the people In the various dis tricts should not fall to elect to It real reformers. Last Night's Riot The mob at Providence last night, which assailed Ruthven, was less con siderate of women than was the Dun more mob. The latter permitted the women to depart In peace, probably In deference to Peter Hobday's double barreled shot gun. But the Providence hoodlums surrounded a street car In which three women were seated, and stoned It until each one of them hud to lie down Hat on the car lloor. Their escape from serious InJ'iry was marvel ous, but no thanks for this fuct ure due to the hoodlums. That the latter did Hot kill every defenceless Woinun ill the cur was not their fault. They did all they could t udil minder to their other crime of riot. It may well be asked, in tills connec tion, where-the police force were. With every reason to expert trouble. It ap pears thut only two officers were within KlKht, und these UKulnst the hundreds of rioters were pructicully powerless. If mob rule Is to follow this fellow Ruthven wherever he goeB, then It would seem to become the duty of the authorities to discover either whether he Is not a, nuisance, deserving of sup pression, or whether If he have a right :o speak without molestation in public vlaces, he should not also have the Ight of ample legal protection. The fact thut the police have not tried to prevent him from speaking places upon them tho responsibility of seeing that 'he Is accorded ample protection from assault.' One thing at least Is sure. The peace and good order of the city of Hcranton must be preserved, no matter who gets hurt in the preserving of It. Vpon that proposition every decent Protestant and every decent Catholic cun unite. One or two more riots like the one In Dunmore last week and the one in Providence last night will he sufficient to set In motion forces in this commu nity which will insure the protection of life and limb In every lawful right. The people of Pittsburg seem to think that as between a home "boss" and a "boss" from an adjoining county there Isn't enough difference to warrant a Change. Scranton's New Hotel. The formal opening, one week from tomorrow, of the magnificent new Hotel Jenny n will be an event of more than ordinary significance to Scranton. It will overcome a want which has for many years, und especially during the last few years, with their rapid devel opment, been conspicuously in evidence the want of a thoroughly modern public place) of refreshment and abode ample enough to give entire accom modation to the Increasing volume of transient guests whom business or pleasure calls temporarily to our city. Not only will the new structure, in sice, design, and appointments, be a credit to the Scranton of today it will continue to be that for many years to come. The courage which has prompt ed Mr. John Jermyn to Invest In a pro ject of this kind a sum of money which Is In itself a large fortune even In this day of great possessions Is a signal tes timonial both to the builder's personal enterprise and to the commercial pros pects of this community. Nor should Mr. Godfrey's Bhare in the project's completion escape grateful recognition. He, too, has assumed a risk which onlv boundless fnJth In thtr city's nossl- bllltles would justify; and, with Mr. Jermyn, has .given to the world another evidence of the spirit which has made Scranton what it Is. That the faith of these enterprising gentlemen, in wits voiiuiiucu siunin ui this thrifty metropolis of the anthra cite region is not misplaced we firmly believe. One cannot be blind to the many evidences of. local development which are arising on every hand. But even if these evidences were less, con spicuous than they are; the presence' In the community of men of wealth so will Ins; as are the great majority of our rich cltlsens to put their resources' at the command of worthy new. Institu tions would compel iur and steady municipal growth. It Is with pleasure thut each new step in Scranton's for ward progress is recorded; . and the Hotel Jermyn is certainly u long step In this direction. Our esteemed contemporary, ' the Truth, announces that It has secured exclusively the services of Colonel J Armoy Knox, the founder of Texas Sitt ings and later the general manager of the Brockton, Mass., Times. Colonel Knox will contribute to the columns of our enterprising neighbor a dully col umn of.. "Echoes of Every-day Life," Into' which he will introduce the wit, humor and pathos which made his Sitt ings known and relished the world over. Colonel Knox is a brilliant Journalist, a delightful raconteur and a man of Ideas. We bid him welcome. Farewell to Rev. Dr. Pearce. Before the retiring pastor of Elm Park church 'shakes the dust of Scranton from his feet, we desire to say, in be half of the community to which he has for five notable years so devotedly mln- Isterpd, a few words of farewell. The pastorate of Rev. Dr. Pearce will always be remembered by the people of Scranton, Irrespective of denomination' ul lines, with most pleasant and affec tionate recollections. To be sure, he su perlntended the three constructions of Elm Purk church, the finest temple of worship In Methodism, into which he Introduced many of Its most felicitous architectural and structural ideas, and that will always be a monument to his memory, the like of which few pastors, In any denomination, are privileged to contemplate. But It Isn't so much that fuct which has endeured Dr. Pearce to us. And, come to think of It, we do not know If It be any one fact or group of fuels which can be singled out from all the rest and put Into cold type. We only know that his pastorate has been one of such genuine and honest progress along the best lines of church work that somehow the Idea of losing him rusts a gloom over the whole circle of his friends, none the less real for being not eusliy translatable Into words. A time may come In Methodism when the time limit will be obliterated. This would mean that congregations which have Dr. Pearces would proceed to mo nopolize the best men in the Methodist ministry. Whether such a state of uf falrs would' be desirable to Methodism as a whole Is not for laymen like us to discuss. We only know that the con gregation on Franklin street in Wllkes- Barre Is to be most sincerely congratu lated. If the people do not take the trouble to elect trustworthy members of the state legislature by direct ballot, how could they be expected, after the novl ty hud worn off, to elect decent 1'nlted States senators by direct bullot? The fault, men and brethren, is nut In the system, but In the electors who ubuse that system and make of it, us they will muke of uny other system, a mockery. Do Something; for Cuba. The unuuls of American legislation contain no more hiimlliuting episode thun the senate's recent treutment of tile Cubun issue. Each duy of addi tional delay Is a duy of shume fur the senators who, ul'ter dungllng before the Cubun belligerents the hope of rec ognition und morul uid, suddeuly snutched it away because the hucksters and Jobbers who measure patriot ism by the fiuctuutlons of the stock ex change took fright at the antics of the Spanish hotheads and set up a howl fur retreut. It Is asserted in the dispatches from Washington that although; the house conference committee has agreed to ac cept the Cuban resolutions as they originally- passed the senate, the chief members of that committee refuse to rail the subject up until there shall be a lull In routine business, which may or may not be for weeks. In the meantime, the monster who has charge of Spain's armies In Culm, gaining courage from congress' dalliance, pro claims anew that he will henceforth treat all captured Insurgents us Incen diaries and bandits, which means thut they will be butchered at sight. Yet In the face of this official pronounce ment. General Weyler hns the unblush ing effrontery to give out, at Havana, a Pecksnilliun Interview, In which he declares that he has all along had con fidence In the sober, practical nature of the American people, and expects them yet to applaud his resort to the tactics of the middle ages in the attempt to forge In blood new fetters upon a long suffering people. Small wonder is it that "many members of congress" we quote from a Wash ington letter to the Philadelphia Press "are disgusted with the way the Cu ban question has been managed In the house." We may well believe that "a very large majority of the members of the house," representing, as they do, the overwhelming sentiment of their constituents, "are anxious to pass the senate resolution," and that speedily. All the more urgent is the necessity for final action in View of the news from Havana that a crisis In the Cuban war for independence is at hand. With Cen tral Maceo and a force of 25,000 well armed insurgents moving through the provinces of Havana and Plnar del Rio, toward the 45,000 Spanish troops that lie within the limits 'of the same territory, a decisive battle may at any moment be fought. The point for Americans to consider is whether it shall be fought before the American nation shall have gone on record In behalf of the cause of Cuban freedom In its hour of extreme need, or whether our action shall be de ferred until it can neither do Cuba any real good nor Spain any actual harm. If any fact Is plain beyond mistake it is that Spanish sovereignty in the An tilles, with Its unbroken record of ra pine, extortion, cruelty and bloodshed, Is an anachronism and an outrage. The time has rome when the descendants of the revolutionary fathers can without violation of treaty obligations strike a strong and a telling blow in behalf of a struggling nation which Is seeking us our sires once sought to free itself from an odious tyranny. Such a blow might disorganize the New York Stock ex change. It might excite the gamblers who speculate In human distress. It might anger the hotheads of red-handed Spain. It might worry the sissies and cause perturbation among the mug wumps. But it would be an act which would win the cordial and undivided ap proval of every, founder of this repub- , Ho, and It would go upon the page of American history as a seemly reasser tion of the vltul principles t American government, made, as becomes men without fear and without equivocation. According to Walter Wellman, Mr. Cleveland believes that he Is his party's only hope. This Is eminently true. In the past tense. To Restrict Immigration. That the will of the people is for a closer restriction of Immigration, to the end that no alien shall be permitted to enter the United States who cannot, when Inside It, support himself and family and add something of value to the citizenship which he augments, Is nowadays conceded. All parties are agreed on this point Even foreigners themselves, after a residence here, per ceive that It is to their own interest as well as to the Interest of the native born element, to shut out alien crimi nals, paupers and hopeless illiterates who now bring simply discredit, ex pense and trouble upon the community that shelters them. The present congress is considering two bills for the further exclusion of immigrants. One. the Stoiie bill, puts the duty of sifting would-be immigrants upon the American consuls In foreign ports. The candidate for certification before one of these consuls Is required to swear and to prove by evidence, if necessary, that he has not been a con vict or a felon, that he Is self-sustaining und thut he is nut afflicted with any contagious disease. The other bill, In troduced by Senator Lodge, makes the test of certification simply the ability of the applicant to read and write the language of his native land. Some duubt has been cast upon the ability of our consuls to perform this work; but It would be well enough to give them a trial. The purpose of for eign certiflcatlun is to save unfit immi grants the expense of a fruitless trip across the Atlantic. Strictly speaking, our duty begins and ends at the home landing place, and the foreigner who reuches the outer shore of the 1'nlted States could fairly be made to take his chances of getting through the bars. It seems to us, however, that the Stone and Lodge bills tuigiii successfully be merged Into one sweeping measure of restriction which would make It easier for u camel to pass through the eye of u needle than for an unlit alien to get a certificate of admission into the great republic. . If England, by grabbing the Soudun, cun divert attention from less distant blunders, it may be worth a small war. At least, this Is probubly how Joseph Chamberlain argues. As a matter of precaution the man who wants to win renown as a safe guesser hud better discount the Gros venor bureau's McKlnley estimates by from 25 to SO per cent. The murder route to fame would per hups be less frequented than it Is If there were fewer sensational news papers. THK CANVASS JT TO DATE. From the Philadelphia Prexs.

The Republican primaries in Al leitheny county Saturdav resulted as follows: McKlnley, carried I'itts- uiirg, i niru, r ourtn, urtn legisla tive districts by H.(H.'i) majority and the Sixth and Eighth legislative districts by l.WM each, ijuuy rarrle 1 the city of Al legheny, composed of the Klrst and Sec ond districts, unoppo'eJ, und the Sev enth ulso by 3i0 to S00 majority.

Magee have agreed to combine all the Philadelphia and o'.her delegates they control In an effort to beat Cameron. They regard him as the weak est spot In 4he Quay ticket. Their friends already claim that there are enough anti- Lumeron counties to tleteut the senator.

II II II In Major Hamly's Judgment, "Governor Morton hns fallen Immensely In the pub lic esllmttlon by subserviency to the bosses.

Revenue Collector Grant Herring must have been away from home, or attending mure to his onu-lul duties than to politics, when the Columbia county Democrats de clared against the unit rule. It was a rather surprising result, but It shows tnat there are some soots lu the Democratic quarters of the state where opuosltlo.1 to tha unit rule Is stronger than the influence of the omce-holders. Those who have been making the del eat of this rule an Issue lu the election of delegates to the Democratic state convention have already had a much better success than they could have expected when they began their cam' pulgn. About the only delegates that can be leaked to In a body to support tne unit rule are those from this city. ' TllK Gl NKKA1. OPINION. From the Philadelphia Record. The peculation of Greater New York, as it will be under the provision of the act of extension which has passed the state legislature, is estimated at .H,2U0,UU0. This will entitle It to rank as the second city in the world in population. It has long been the first earthly metropolis in seir-estlmatton. TOLD BY THE STARS. Dally lloroscop Drawn hr AJachiia, The Tribune Astrologer. Attrclu.be cast: 4.03 a. m . for Tuesday, March 31, 189. A child born on this day will notice that a jarge number of patriots whose claims for honor have been brought before Mr. Bailey, have evidently strayed from tho mlstit counter. The political bartv with a financial Fcheme that falls to make the entiling but elusive dollar roll in our direction will do well to confine its efforts to s'niother Issue. The most enthusiastic "new women" are generally those whose faces are sug gestive of weaiher-beaten shingles. It begins to look as though Providence ought to be unnexed to Dunmore. AJncchus' Advice Do not take sides on the financial Issues, Accumulate coin us rapidly as possible. It Is more effective than argument. HILL & CONNELL, 131 AMD 133 N.
