By order of the state committee.
M. 8. quay.
Attest:- Chairman.
Jere B. Rex,
W. It. Andrews,
Secretaries.
It would be a joke on several prom
inent politicians In JlllnolH if Senator
Cullom were to be nominated at St.
Louis In oplte of their rather petty op
position. Stamp Out Mob Lawlessness.
Our esteemed afternoon contempo
rary, the Truth. dlBsents from the prop
osition that Inasmuch ns the legal au
thorities have permitted ltuthven to
.hold public meetings In this region,
hus tacitly conceding the legality of
ils course, they ought to see mat ne is
slven ample legal protection. We.
must take Issue with It on that point.
We do not uphold Ruthven. Wo think
his work In tills community grossly per
nicious. Uut the liberty of speech Is a
ny other zealot, whatever his race or
creed.
We consider that the Ruthven ques
tion, in Its legal aspect. Is plain. The
,f I thing which the authorities have to
. lslder Is whether Ruthven, In his
public talks, violates any statute. If
lie does, he should Immediately he ar
rested, and not permitted to hold an
other public meeting in this vicinity.
If he does not, he Is within his legal
rights and so long as he remains within
them It Is the duty of the authorities to
see that he Is not molested. Whether
innocent or guilty of a violation of law,
Ruthven should be protected from mob
violence. Regularly established courts
of Justice are open to those who think
Ruthven a public nuisance. The rule
of mobs Is directly contrary to law; It
Is repugnant to every sense of justice,
and It must not be tolerated on any ac
count In this civilised community. If
we excuse mob law in one case, we open
the door to It in any and all other cases.
If a mob may, without hindrance, try
to lynch Ruthven, it may at any other
time, with equal propriety, feel com
missioned to deal out arbitrary judg
ments until we should soon have no or
der at ail, but total disorder, it not
anarchy.
We are not ready to believe that the
duly authorized courts of law In Lacka
wanna county are so uncertain In their
administration of justice that It 0a
necessary for disorderly mobs to take
the law into tlielr own hands and ad
minister It on frontier principles by
means of the pistol, the billy, and the
missile. We consider that lawlessness
is lawlessness, whether committed by
Protestant or Catholic, singly or In
mobs that terrify women and bring
shame and scandal on the community
which tolerates or extenuates them.
The Philadelphia Bulletin, which has
recently become one of the best after
noon newspapers In the United States,
has reduced Us price to one cent. The
dally column on "Men and Things" by
"Penn" is alone worth ten times that
price.
A Misuse of Power.
. Governor Altgeld of Illinois may have
his weak points, but he is emphatically
and everlastingly right when he de
clares that "the judicial department Is
as proper a subject of criticism by the
people as the executive or judicial
branches of the government. The time
has not come when any American of
ficeholder can close the mouths of the
people who created him and the office
he holds. A proper respect Is due to
all the branches of the government and
Is necessary to good government. At
the same time a proper respect for the
rights of the people must also be main
tained, which Is also necessary to good
government. There are three branches
of the government. Each is Independ
ent ot the other and It one may be
criticised anotljfmay be."
The newspapers Within the past three
months have contained mention ot sev
eral Instances in which judges, smarting
under printed criticisms, from the bench
have threatened the authors of those
strictures with summary , vengeance.
In few cases have these threats been
carried out, because even indignant
Judges realize, upon reflection, that
they cannot rightfully claim immunity
from publto scrutiny and, If necessary,
criticism. But here and there one finds
judges who so far forget the proprieties
of their high office as to use the extra
ordinary function of a contempt pro
ceeding as a means ot arbitrary retalia
tion i and It doubtless! was with that
class of Jurists la mind that .Governor
Altgeld recently used the words which j
bein tnia artule.
It la to the. credit of American jour
nalism that its treatment of the ju
diciary is, upon the whole, much more
respectful Ihun Is Us treatment ct
either the , executive or the leg
islative branches. Eut we refuse
to believe' that this extra respect
originates in fear, or that it can
be preserved by means of threata of
summary seizure and commitment.
Indeed, the bench Ehould court even
more searching and unsparing scru
tiny than l: today receives from the
press. ' If any asency can keep the
bench pure In the midst oif the promis
cuous contaminations of political strife,
the :ress can by focusing uKn It the
careful attention of an otherwise In
different community.
One proposition Is self-evident; and
that Is that men who will so far give
way to violent prejudices as to throw
stones at a street car in which de
fenceless women are seated deserve no
consideration. They should be prose
cuted to the fullest limits of the law.
Only cowards fight women.
An Unfair Argument.
A peculiar argument Is made by the
Chicago Times-Herald in behalf of Mc
Klnley. It Is' that Pennsylvania and
New York and the other northern slates
which cast the largest percentage of
the total Republican vote ought not to
be deferred to in Republican national
conventions, because they are safe any
way. Upon this principle, states which
are faithful to the party should be
Ignored because of their faithfulness,
and the fatted calf should be killed and
cooked for the delectation of the erratic
and uncertain prodigal sons. The
Times-Herald doesn't state tjie case In
quite so many words, but tjils Is a fair
inference from what It does say, which
follows:
The influence of the great states mean
ing thereby New York und Pennsylvania
- was more potent In the nominations and
presidential elections of past years than
It Is today. It used tu he said that "as
Pennsylvania goes so goes the union,"
but that dh'tum no longer prevails, nor
can prevail. In the eurly days, when the
stutes were few In number, those that
possessed the largest population neces
sarily had the greatest power. Naturally
enough for many years thes? states wro
all-power nd, not only In dictating candi
dates tut also In electing them, and in
nearly every election from the time of
Jefferson to the present day New York
hus been represented on one ticket or the
oilier of the contending parties. Of tho
vice-presidents New York has had Burr,
Clinton, Tompkins. Van Buren, I'lllmore,
Wheeler, Arthur and Morton. Two of
these, Fillmore und Arthur, succeeded to
the presidency by virtua of their olllce.
Of presldei.ts elected by ithe people New
York has hud Van Buren and Cleveland.
Pennsylvania has not fared quite so well,
having had one vice-president, Ueorge M.
lallas, and one president. James Buchan
an. Hut the scopter Is now passing away
from these great stales, und their Influ
ence Is no longer material. In the last
presidential election Cleveland did not
carry Pennsylvania and lie was easily
elected Without New York. The electoral
strength of the people Is passing to the
middle west, and it will be the states
lying between the Alleghanles and the
Missouri which will determine the next
election. Thus It Is evident that the peo
pie have nothing to fear from the bosses
of New York and Pennsylvania.
We must confess that we cannot see
the justice of our bright but prejudiced
contemporary'u argument. A national
convention Is a family affair. It should
be a place where loyalty and steadfast
ness are not ostracised. It should be a
place where honors are given in ex
change for demonstrated merit and by
merit we mean not necessarily the
glamor of superficial popularity resting
upon no solid foundation of worthy
performance, but merit covering a va
riety of tests and not forgetting politi
cal service. It should, In a Republican
sense, be a place where the states that
form the party's backbone can get, at
least once in a while, fair treatment and
a fair share of the houors. With spec
ial reference to Pennsylvania we
should say that the wlshps of a delega
tion having behind it a quarter of a
million Republican plurality ought In a
Republican national convention to re
ceive certainly as much consideration
as the wishes of the carpet-bag delega
tions from the voteless south or those of
the volatile delegations from the fickle
northwest.
It an army were to choose Us general,
would the camp followers, the raw re
cruits or the trained regulars be consid
ered the best judges of his qualifica
tions? Uncle Sam's treasury deficit for the
first quarter of 1896, under the "perfidy
and dishonor" tariff, amounts to pre
cisely $17,000,000, or more than $2 apiece
for every voter who, four years ago,
voted to turn the Republicans out. We
guess there' are few of them who
wouldn't give- $2 apiece to undo that
The Gold Craze.
The action of the Manufacturers' club
of Philadelphia In "declaring its un
alterable opposition to the free coinage
of silver by the United States alone"
was coupled with a modifying clause
which says that "the question of bi
metallism can be permanently settled
only through an International agree
ment." The club does not say whether
It would like to witness an International
bimetallic agreement, although It Is fair
to infer from Its resolutions of a year
ago, which declared In favor of inter
national bimetallism, that It would.
Its avoidance of a committal state
ment on that point in its resolutions of
March 30 is, however, significant ot the
rapid progress which has been made
under the whip and spur of the present
Democratic administration toward gold
monometallism.
When we consider that four years
ago both the leading parties declared In
plain terms for bimetallism, either by
international ' agreement or by other
safe action, the present aggressive ad
vance ot the gold single standard senti
ment in this country becomes more than
ever remarkable. If this were In a
large degree a creditor nation, produc
ing little and living chiefly on dividends
and Interest payments, this advance
could be readily accounted for. In that
event It would clearly be to our Interest
to have an appreciating standard ot
values, whereby debts would In effect
be artificially Increased by the taking
away of practically half of the means
of paying them. But when we recollect
that the American people are in the
main a nation of debtors and producers,
this movement toward a contraction of
the basis of our currency can be ac
counted for In no more complimentary
wSfcX than by calling It one of those
phenomena if popular hallucination
common among democratic Institutions. '
However, there Is always on coufo
lallon to those who look at such plie-.
nomena In a philosophic mood. The '
pendulum cannot Indefinitely awing in 1
one direction. A reaction la sure to
come, lfriay come seen or it may be
leng deferred, but Its coming. In the
end. is inevitable. The world did not.
for four thousand years, use silver and
gold together as a double standard, for
nothing: nor Is the civilization cf this
fin de slecle period so perfect that It can
Bafely venture to discard, for all time
to come, the economic teaching ot the
centuries which form the background
to human progress. We have had the
silver craze. We are now apparently
In the tidal wave of the gold craze. I'yc
and bye we will recur to common tense
principles, and then we will re-establish
the bimetallism of the past.
Probably the best way for the Wyom
ing conference to get rid of the Hogan
issue is to Ignore its subject as beneath
serious notice.
Make a Safe Choice.
Says General Clurkson: "V.Tlo the
candidate will rrove to be at St. Louis
no one can tell, but it will be the man
who will best stand the severe analysis
sure to be made there, or the man who
will be the strongest In second-choice
strength. In my opinion, Senator Alli
son, who has the most central position
of all the candidates and has the broad
est record as to experience In states
manship, and who has never been the
candidate of factions, and who Is equal
ly strong east, west and south, Is most
likely to be the man. Iowa Republi
cans feel this, but they are ready to sup
port loyally and to carry their state
overwhelmingly for any man chosen at
St. I.ouiti. They have no disposition,
however, to force a candidate upon the
doubtful or necessary states, unless
uuch states see in the Iowa choice th?
strongest man."
This Is an eminently sensible view to
take. The battle for the presidency will
not be won at St. Louis. It will have to
be fought out. Inch by Inch, after the
nominations are made. Therefore,
while Republican success looks gratify
ingly probable, It should not be taken
for granted. The campaign should be
organized upon the strongest and most
effective lines possible. Just as much so
as If the result were In doubt. Tliat
will be best for the purty and also be3l
for the country. The nominee should
be a man acceptable to the recognized
leaders as well as acceptable to the
shouters of the party, for while shout
era are well enough in their way It
takes leadership to win.
POLITICAL rOlMS.
James 3. Clarkson ipredlcts that from
this time forward three out of every four
states that will choose national delegates
will favor other candidates than AlcKln
ley. He thinks the McKlnley boom an
artificial one, and says it has already be
gun to wane. He adds: "The Invasion of
Illinois as against Cullom, the organiza
tion In that state with money and bureaus
to Induce Illinois districts to declare for
the Ohio and not for the Illinois candi
date; the Invasion and capture of Minne
sota for McKlnley as ugalnst Senator
Davis, a man with the ability to be presi
dent and as worthy of it as McKlnley;
and the Invasion of Nebraska as against
Manderson, have all been victories for
McKlnley that will In the end prove to
have been more costly than defeats. This
reckless plunge Into the states of oth'r
candidates has alienated many Republi
cans who would make 'McKlnley their
second choice. McKlnley men and money
were sent Into Iowa to try to Induce coun
ty conventions there to declare first or
second choice for the Ohio candidate re
gardless of Allison's Interepts or of Iowa's
self-respect. Men were sent there to try
to defeat my election as a delegate to the
national convention because I had pre
sumed to be for a candidate of my own
state and one who has qualifications at
least as good as 'McKlnley's, anil whose
strength as a candidate I consider su
perior to McKlnley's. I know how the
Republicans of Iowa feel as to the In
trusion upon 'their state, and I have no
doubt that the Republicans of the other
slates have the same feeling. This course
on the part of McKlnley's management
gives authority for Republicans to be
nntl-McKlnley In Ohio Just .the same hs
Minnesota Republicans have been Induced
to be anti-Davis or some Illinois Republi
cans antl-Cullom. The echoes of the
strange contests forced In Minnesota, Illi
nois and Nebraska are not unlikely to be
heard the loudest In Ohio Itself."

According to the Pittsburg Dally News,
Frank Willing Leach has created disor
der in the Quay ranks. It says: "The
young man with the elaborate head and
overweening ambition has vaulted Into
leadership In such a way almost as to
set at defiance his patron and protector.
Senator Quay. Leach is always doing
something of this kind fie has been n
disturbing element ever since he entered
politics. In ' 1881 fresh, as a daisy he
stood beside Chairman Quay In the state
convention s secretary of the body, nnd
a month 'later lie was a follower of the
black flag raised by Charles Wolfe when
he opposed Bailey for state treasurer. In
1682 ho was the secretary of the 8tewart
committee, and howled himself hoarso over
the defeat of General Beaver for gover
nor. From this he slid, with easy grace,
Into the city controller's olllce, under a
Democrat, where he remained until he
made his peace with the city powers, af
ter which he fonti 1 his way Into the sher
iff's office by the grace of Martin, only to
turn on him when ho needed political ns
slstance. Since then he has been with
Quay. How long lie will remain Is a ques
tion. If Quay does not soon 'lire' him,
Krnnk will 'lire' himself. It Is generally
understood that Quay Is not the least
pleased over the bold way In which the
young man has pushed himself to the
front as a candidate for state chairman,
and the rupture will come when, next
month, flio state convention re-elects
Chairman Quay."

The Republicans of Tioga county, tit
their coming primary elections, are to
have a chance to declare by their own
votes whom they prefer ns a candidate for
president. As it is understood th Re
nirhlicans of Lycoming county will nlso
have a nopulnr vote, more than two

Mr. HI.AINE'S IDEA OF RKCIPKOCHY
W. R. Curtis, in Chicago Record.
I am asked whether Mr. Illulne ever
said, "Ke11 your tariff to trade, on," und
under what circumstance he said It.
That was a favorite expression of Mr.
lllalne, and he used It frequently when
ho was trying to hammer the reciprocity
Idea Into the heads of the LI congress.
The first ami most Important occasion that
( ever heard It wus at what Is known as
Ihe hnt-smnahlng Interview In the room
of the senate committee on appropriations
In tho summer of 18W), when Ihe 'McKlnley
tnrlfT bill -was tinder consideration. He
weVt to tho capitol to confer with the
committee on npproprlnllon concerning
certain provlrtonu he desired made to car
ry aut the recomimnndaitlona'of the Into
nafionnl America-it conference. There
were present Mr. Hale, Mr. Allison, Mr.
HI ckburn, Mr. Hulterworfi and several
otl or gentlemen, hihI the discussion
tu net upon the reciprocity amendment
wl Ich had been refected by the houae of
ra irtiNntatlves and was pending in the
rommkte en flnanc. lt spoke with
t -aratnea. nJ. having his silk
tat In hts hand, brocthl It down upon the
tal.K- kIia mica ior- as to ama.a lu tha
crevn like an acccrUlon.
Amor. ciher thing he said: "You have
built i, our domestic Industries by a pro
tective. tariff until they r now producing
far more than the country can consume,
and the manufacturers and farmers neeJ
a foreign ntarket for their surplus. Don't
reduce your duties without requiring for
eign countrteu to reciprocate. Tell thein
that we will take our duties off their
Kuoda when they take their duties oif
ours. Keep your tatiiT to trade on. Don't
throw away tha duty cn migar as w
threw away tho duty on cohce and tea.
Mako tha ugar ar.il coffee growing na
tions put our products on their free lists
bulore you put their products on ours.
Wo furnish them their most prodtablo
markets. Meke them buy our mervhau
dlso In exchange." That waa the Blaine
Idea of reciprocity.
THE HYPNOTIZED BEF0BTEB.
One of the things to 'be dreaded by good
citizens generally who take pride In the
fair name of Scranton, Is the artist ot the
Philadelphia. Sunday Press, who has
focussed his comic vulentlne camera upon
the ladies of the Klvctrlc City. Courts ot
Justice occasionally offer protection to
the unfortunate who are libeled by pen or
tongue, but in case of the cross-eyed art
ist there Is no redress, und handsome wo
men about us are obliged to relruln -their
wrath as best they may when beholding
caricatures of thtmselves prepured by
Ihe clreus-postcr etcher of the Press. In
case of wicked man it does not matter.
The politician does not mind being madd
to look like the late Charles Ouiteau or
an ancient mummy find. In fact, tho
more he cun be tirade to look like a mur
derer or a chlld-siealer, the better tils
chances of success at tho polls. But no
society lady of Scranton desires to hava
her name attached to what might be a
p.iinpoitite 'portrait of l.ydlu Plnkham
and Alderman Ham Jones, of Carbondale.
They would rather remain in oblivion and
blush unseen than bo known as under
studies to the Howery tough girl or the
tatooed woman from ltorneo. 1 feel that
1 am voicing the sentiments of a largo
number of hundjome and refined Scran
ton women In entering a protest against
the nefarious work of the Philadelphia
sketch artist.
lu spite or the fact that Lillian Blau
velt's manager has stated that all of her
American enitagements for this season
have been cancelled, the Wllkes-Uarre
papers continue to anounce her appear
ance In that city In the near future. This
peculiar discrepancy may perhaps be ac
counted for by the, excusable supposition
on the part of the fair Lilly that Wllkes
Barre Is out of place lu the United States,
anyhow.
.
I should like to make a few remarks
upon the Krothlughum Arcade portico,
but the possibility that something new
might unconsciously 'be said upon the
subject makes me hesitate. Allow me to
express tho hope, however, that the por
tico question will not occupy the time ot
the street commissioner and councils oil
summer in u way that will make them
forget that Scranton's streets need clean
ing. An excavating party that would
uncover the pavement on Washington
avenue, between Hpruce and Mulberry
streets, for instance, would be as wel
come as the blossoms of spring.
