Wouldn't It be a coincidence if Paul

The Truth's Twell h Anniversary.
The Scranton Truth yesterday cele
brated IU twelfth anniversary by means
of a special issue comprising twenty
four pases of original reading matter
and a fine colored cover, all cf home
production. When the Truth started, It
had twenty-four columns. For every
column then it now offers a page, and
each pajro today represents an Invest
ment of brains, care and money equal to
"that of Thwhoie'paper atTtiTegln
nlng. The growth of the Truth In size, qual
ity and influence Is symbolic of the
Krowth of the city In which it is pub
lished, and prophetic of a larger de
velopment sure to come. The Truth
lias stood from the first for progress.
It has co-operated generously with oth
er uullfting influences for the upbuild
ing of business, for the diffusion of
culture and for the stimulation of thrift,
energy and self-reliance. .Its success Is
the people's victory. The profits of its
enterprise have been returned with
compound Interest to the community
whence fliey were derived. This is true
to a largo degree of all live newspapers;
it is especially true of a Journal con
ducted on the broad and libera lines
underlying the management of the
Truth.
We have had and expect again to
have many a crossing of lances with
our amiable neighbor. But these hon
est differences of opinion do not blind
us to the excellence of its work as a
large factor in the development of
Scranton nor to the strong claims Its
proprietors, Editor Barrett and Busi
ness Manager Jordan, have to the re
upect, primarily of the newspaper fra
ternity, for the high standard to which
they have brought the journalism of
Northeastern' Pennsylvania, and, be
yond that; of the general public, whose
interests they have so Judiciously and
faithfully 'safeguarded. '
.There is a fine vein of sarcasm in the
proposition of Representative Willis
that the United States call another In
ternational monetary conference with a
view to securing International bimetal
lism. The last thing that the United
States seems to want. If we may Judge
by the eastern press, Is bimetallism.
The Salvation Army's Future.
An unusually intelligent and appre
ciative view of the recent division In
the Salvation army Is taken in the cur
rent number of the New Unity, the or
gan of western Unlversallsm. "The
American people," It says, "show their
breeding by their sensitiveness concern
ing anything that looks like despotism.
They would naturally protest against
any new form of church centralization,
however benevolent the purpose held
In view by the actors and organizers.
Our fundamental constitution is not
only a state without a king, but a
church without a bishop. Tha growth
of the Salvation army as a family af
fair, the inspiration of a single brain,
was a tolerable idea during the life of
the builder. But now that there seems
to be a dynastic feature fixed on the
movement, Americans will be slow to
Indorse or tolerate.
"It may have been wise to give a re
ligious movement the name and epau
lettes and accoutrements of war; al
, though that Is very improbable. The
real glory and power of this organiza
tion has been, however, that It has gone
to the poor and low down In a simple
way and lived Christ without preach
ing him. The secret discovery of Gen
eral Booth was that the world had been
preached at a great deal too much.
What was wanted was not more talk
about Jesus, but more Jesus. The work
done by the army has been noisy, but
great care has been used not to exhaust
moral power In sermons. But the dis
ruption In New Tork and positive re
volt of one of his sons warrants us in
asking; what is to come of this central
ized power. That It will be used with
devotion and wisdom during General
Booth's life is probable; but what after
his death?
"The collision was apparently the na
tural consequence of having a too
powerful subordinate. When the Ro
man emperors raised a favorite so high
as to make him unmanageable they
were oompelled to have him strangled."
And It' was to avert an experience of
metaphorical strangling, if we may
credit the published evidence, that
caused Balllngton Booth to surrender
hit American lieutenancy and take up
the work of the American' Volunteers.
The New Unity might put the same
" general, thought Into one-fiftieth as
many words by simply remarking that
' aa un-Amerloaa Institutions need ex
pect to endure long In America, after
Its true character is once generally
known. It will have either to amend
or suspend.
The New York Evening Post wonders
why tha college professors do not re
model their text-books on constitution
al government so as to expound the fact
that in New York state the sovereign
authority is vested not in tho people.
In the legislature nor in the gubernator
ial office, but in one Thomas C. Piatt.
It occurs to us that a number of col
lege professors have from time to time
animadverted upon this circumstance.
Mineral Production In 1895.
Our acknowledgements are due to It.
P. Hothwcll, editor of the Mining and
Engineering Journal, of New York, for
advance proofs of an interesting table
of mineral and metal statistics of the
United States for 1895. Each year Mr.
Rothwell tabulates the mineral and
metal production of the preceding year,
and incorporates it Into an annual
entitled "The Mineral Industry. Its
Statistics, Technology and Trade,"
which has become an International au
thority. The table Is reproduced In full
on another page and will merit atten
tive scrutiny.
From It one learr.s that the total
value of tho mineral and metal pro
duction of- the United States In 1SS5
amounted to the enormous sum of
$G7:!,881,50.V which compares with a
similar total of $578,470,058 for 1S9I,
showing nn Increase of $93,411,447 for
the year. Of the whole amount last
year. $210,615,120 represented the value
of the metals, and $433,266,385 that of
the non-metallic products, Including
$5,000,000 worth of various unspecified
products. From these totals, however,
it Is necessary to make some deduc
tions for articles which have been nec
essarily duplicated In the table. A
careful estimate of the proper amount
of these deductions would give, in Mr.
llothwell's Judgment, about $15,000,000
In 1V.I5, against $34,000,000 In 1S4. Mak
ing these deductions we have a total
net value for 1S93 of $82S,S81,503, as
against $544,470,058 for 1891. the in
crease amounting to $84,220,503, or 15.5
er cent.
The figures given show that the
United States last year took first rank
4is a prodAteetwwt only -of- the -precious
metals, but also of the most Important
of the useful metals, Iron and copper,
while in coal It Is still Becondlonly to
Great Britain, with the certainty that
in a few years It will take the first
place. This showing Is the more re
markable when we consider that the
year 1893 was one of widespread de
pression. Had the silver output been
tip to former standards the aggregate
showing of last year would have been
something phenomenal, even for this
nation of natural wonders.
The world should prepare for great
developments. It Is announced that
Georga W. Smalley of the London
Times has gone to Washington.
War versus Arbitration.
This afternoon there will assemble
In the city of Washington more than
400 prominent citizens representing by
congressional districts thirty-eight
states, their object being to consider
means of promoting a permanent sys
tem of arbitration between GreafBrlt
aln and the United States. Ex-Senator
Edmunds, of Vermont, will preside;
ex-Secretary of State Foster will make
the address of welcome, and In the au
dience will be many men equally emi
nent and distinguished. The gathering
will represent the cream of God-fearing,
law-abiding American citizenship, and
Its. voice, Invested wit,h all the solemnity
of an edict of sovereigns, will be against
war in future' and for peace.
' What are the Indications that this
movement to substitute the Judicial for
the militant arbitrament will eventual
ly succeed? There Is encouragement
In the opinion expressed by Rev. Dr.
Tennis S. Hamlin, of Washington.
"We believe." says he, "that the time
of such a substitution Is drawing near,
because we can trace through the cen
turies a steady, If very gradual, mitiga
tion of the horrors of war. There Is a
large class of causes for armed con
flict that have practically disappeared.
Religious wars, for example, are a
thing of the past. Wars to gratify the
ambitions or revenge of sovereigns are
now hardly possible; are not possible
unless skillfully disguised by pleas of
public policy. Chronic international
hatreds are also yielding to the Bptrlt
of brotherhood. Moreover, some of the
barbarities of war have been modified.
Assassination, for instance, has been
discountenanced since the murder of
William of Orange. Mr. Fox, when
foreign minister, learned of a plot to
assassinate Napoleon, and Instantly In
formed him of his peril. So weapons
thought to be especially cruel have been
one by one disused, as the cross-bow,
poisoned arrows, and small explosives
designed to tear to pieces the human
body In which they might lodge. The
poisoning of water and of food Is no
longer practiced. At the capture of
Magdeburg, by Tilly, In 1621, 30,000 of
Its 36,000 Inhabitants were slaughtered;
such wholesale butchery has never
since occurred. Thucydldcs, 500 B. C,
describes the custom of his day as to
non-combatants to be the killing of the
men and reducing the women and chil
dren to slavery. At the battle of Agln
court, where from 80,000 to 100,000 men
were engaged, and some 12,000 killed,
there was not one man present that had
any knowledge of medicine or surgery;
now. physicians and trained nurses,
with all , possible hospital' supplies,
throng every army In the field. The
barbarities long practiced upon prison
ers of war have . now largely given
place to amicable exchange. These
and many similar matters are formu
lated Into rules of civilized warfare In
the most recent manuals of Europe and
of this century."
Then, too, there Is the economic
argument. War as a method of set
tling International differences Is not
only cruel and barbarous but also tre
mendously expensive. Upon this point
Dr. Hamlin observes: "The wars of
the ninety years preceding 1S80 cost
more than fifteen and one-quarter bll-.
lions of dollars, and four and one-half
millions of lives. In our civil war
2,336,000 men were engaged, on both
sides, from first to last. The
standing armies of Europe today num
ber on a peace footing 4,000,000, and on
a war looting 10,000,000v In 181S, after
his retreat from Moscow, Napoleon
armed all France; but he had almost
exactly the tame number of men in his
ranks that the French republic has in
her army today amid profound peace."
It cannot cost Europe less than $5,000,
C00.000 a year to maintain her present
armament, land and naval. This drain
upon the resoiyces of a continent al
ready sapped ? much of Its vitality has
proved a grievous, almost a fatal bur
den, to the masses whose labor must
wring from the Impoverished soil
enough wealth to sustain It. There are
many contrlbutary causes to the preva
lence in almost every European coun
try of a rampant spirit of anarchy
among the working classes; but the one
preponderating cause is undoubtedly
the intolerable exactions of the mili
tary spirit with its weight of crushing
burdens upon their productive energies.
If arbitration would gradually enable
Europe's 4,000,000 superfluous soldiers
who are now kept In Idleness at public
expense to get back Into the channels
of self-sustaining and peaceful Indus
try, it would lift from the future of
that continent an ominous menace.
But while nil the arguments are on the
side of peace, there remains to be noted
the discouraging If not the Irremedi
able fact that human nature Is strong
ly predisposed to war. Mankind may
he shamed out of going to war for un
deniably immoral reasons, such as a
thirst for dominion or a bully's delight
to exhibit brute strength. But it is
vain as yet to pretend that war can be
prevented when there exists or seems
to exist a serious provocation. A blow
to the national honor cannot be sub
mitted to arbitration. The clamminess
of such a recourse renders It preposter
ous and Impossible. A blow to the na
tional honor will be resented by a sensi
tive nation, not by soft words or law
yers' briefs but by arms, and no amount
of glorification of the civilizing Influ
ences of arbitration will ever alter this
fundamental truth. However, if all
other wars are averted by arbitration,
the? few which are Just In origin may
well be left to the tribunal of the tent
ed field and to tho verdict of the can
nons and the guns.
Tho original Reed man has been lo
:atcxlandJalield Hellvea In Mnlnp,
his name Is Fogg and he launched the
Reed boom In the fall of 1874. He must
have a fine penumbra of patience.
The esteemed Washington Post wants
a larger showing of brain on the ball
field. The same would not, by the way,
be a bad thing In congress.
The gratifying thing about it is that
it will make little difference this presi
dential election whether New York
goes Republican or not.
We shall miss our guess if the house
of representatives at Washington does
not make short work of the New Mex
ico statehood Job.
It will not be Governor Hastings'
fault if Pennsylvania Republicans are
not soon chromoed as "The Happy
Family."
THE HYPNOTIZED REPORTER.
In all ages the necromancer has played
an Important Dart In the heallns of dis
ease, anil seems 'liable to hold his own for
time to coma. Notwithstanding the fact
that the wizard who charms away sick,
ness has been forced to endure a Inrge
amount of ridicule, whether in the puis of
the medicine man, spiritualist or magnet
ic healer, or Chrlstlun scientist, he must
have given some evidence of power In
order to make converts in any held of
labor. If the witch doctor, faith healer
or scientist did nothing but talk he would
soon be without followers In his profes
sion. It Is the explanation of marvelous
results that puzzles the Individual who
wishes to observe the cause In every ;e
markable result given In this field of med
ical practice. It Is useless to claim that
no results are shown. They are brought
to notice almost daily.
Only a few' days since a woman em
ployed In the central city fell down a flight
of stairs carrying In her arms a tub of not
water. In addition to receiving several
bad cuts, she was painfully scalded by
the hot water that ran over her body.
A regular physician was summoned who
made an examination and stated that no
bones had been broken. A request was
then made for a charmer to come and
drive awny the pain occasioned by the
burns on the woman's body. To the stir,
prise of several present tho doctor made
no objection to the witchcraft business.
The wizard was sent for and In a short
In a few minutes the woman declared that
the pnln left her. The bystanders smiled
but tho doctor looked serious. "You may
laugh," he said, "but I must confess that
In my practice I hnve seen mote wonder
ful results than this. I do not pretend
to explain It, but the voudoo doctors at
times produce results that are mar
velous." Nea'ly all thui iidnut .ft lveo ( oir

none can explain the cause. I've, the
voudoos themselves can generally offer no
reason for their mysterious power. Thus
fur the only reasonable explanation of
fered by science seems to be in hypnotism.
It has been demonstrated in many In
stances that unseen forces may be broUKlit
to bear upon certain persons under favor
able conditions that will produce power
ful results. It Is probable that In every
case wherra cure is effected by means
of Incantations the operator Is a mes
merist and the subject possesses powers
to a greater or less extent as a trance
medium. The remarkable cures made are
simply cases of hypnotism. Where the
subject Is not susceptible to psychic in
fluence, the efforts of the voudoo, the
faith healer, the scientist or any other
person who claims to cure disease with
out medicine are in vain. This Is my the
ory. If a better one can be advanced it
will be cheerfully published, ,
. JURY SERVICE.
The Tribune has received from a citizen
of Scranton an interesting communication
describing his flr.it experience as a Juror.
It Is as follows:
Although nearly middle age I never, un
til this week, have had the honor of serv
ing on a Jury before, and after five days'
experience of it, I have feelings of o
very mixed character. I have been
amused, annoyed and nnnrry In turns
amused at the farcin I character of the
whole system of trial by Jury; annoyed at
belnjr taken awny from my business to dis
pense justice In such trivial cases as have
come before the court this week, nine out
of ten being tho result of drinking sprees;
and angry at the miserable dirty room
the Jury are put Into, to deliberate on
their verdicts.. This room ought to have
the immediate attention of the board of
health. One glance at the beds and the
other furniture was sufficient, I believe, In
a number of Instances, to make the Jury
come to a unanimous conclusion a great
deal sooner than they otherwise would
hnve done. Although a citizen of Scran
ton for some years, I am socially of such
a quiet nature that very few of the load
ing lights (or the lights that don't lead) of
the legal fraternity are known personally
to me. And so on my first appearance In
court I had to nauli- th nam of nAarlv
every individual connected with IU 1 hai
to ask the name of tue trial judge, whom
I thought minified, learned and courteous
Juilm Ouuster; also the name of that
Eood looking, hard working, well dressed,
ouquet-loving. gentleman, the district
attorney, John R. Jones a man who Im
pressed me all week as bing splendidly
equipped for his work and especially in
keeping the too inquisitive lawyer In or
der. And who Is that spry looking gen
tleman sitting rlsht below the judge, with
his II niters busy with his pen and his
mourn ousy with his chewing gum? Tat
ia the court stenographer. And the StOut
man on the other aide? the one who to all
appearances Is a good old Pennsylvania
fun-ninnn. ami wno, ii ne earns nis living,
appears to do so in a very easy manner.
Ho la, I am told a "mnuenrer." It was
remarked by many a juryman that he wae
mo.i important man in court. Tne
crier with Is ulrnlnrlun vnlto. thA fcanl
working young man who swears in the
witnesses ana Jury, the worthy old gen
tlemen who act as tipstaves, all came In
for a good share of my attention and
study.
Mut what shall I say of the lawyers?
mi a 10c or tnemi just line a lot
or bees buzzing about, lighting on many
fowers, but resting on none, but unlike
the bees In one respect that many of
them apparently gather no honey. There
ws Watson with dishevelled bnlr; Pow
derly with his studious, serious face; Har
ris, who would add to his dignity If he
kept his hands out of his pockets; Judge
Ward and many others. The greatest fun
of the week the Jurymen hod was when
this last-named gentleman had a case on
hand. The manner In which he rattled
a wltnes and addressed the Jury wna
very entertaining, but certainly not. In
my nninlon, nlwsys productive of good to
his clients. Colonel Fltxslmmons I knew
before by reputation, but his quietness
nil week In court surprised me. I had
been given to understand he was a fight
ing man. Hut whet shall I say of tho
gentlemen of the Jury? Of course they
wer intelligent in the estimation of every
lawyer at least before tho verdicts were
nWrn. These Jurvmen comprised all sorts
and conditions of men. There were stub
born Jurors who would sooner part with
life than let their opinions go. There were
Hci-nmouaung jurors wno Kindly anu
nillflctv nirr.,f uillk tkiilMrtAtlaf.itii.a t
altogether, they were a pretty good' lot of
fellows.
Such are some of my impressions during
the live davs I have served on the Jury.
The experience 1 value. Inasmuch as It
has given me a knowledge of how Justice

Moqnette Carpets
Always beautiful, . more so
this season than ever before;
olt as a mossy bank, bright
as a meadow in June. Many
of them have borders to
match. Pay you to give them
careful inspection.
The New Mattings
Some jointless, some cord
warp, some plaiu, some fan
ey, and all good. They're
made of good live straw;
they're flexible and don't
scuff out like the poorer,
dried-out sorts. What a cool,
cleaaly, comfortable floor cov
ering they make, to be sure;
and so cheap, too, as we sell
them beginning at 10c tne
yard.
