Financially Hjifaklne;, the day enilod
procttrally In a draw. The money that
the Knights brought Into the city, the
circus took out again.
A Successful Conclave.
If the Knightit were burprlaed at
Scranton it Is only fair to eay Unit
Kcrantonlans in turn were surprised at
the Knights surprised at their num
bers, their Intelligence, their amiability
and their superb appearance on parade.
The pageantry of yesterday will linger
long In the memory of the thousands
w ho admired It as the most Impressive
spectacle of well-drilled, well-uniformed
and well-tempered men ever
witnessed In the city. Indeed it Is no
exaggeration to express a doubt if any
other parade of Its numbers In line
ever surpassed it anywhere.
Concerning the more serious business
of yesterday's conclave, we can speak
only from an outside standpoint, though
it Is safe to say that It progressed with
eminent satisfaction. But as for the num
erous festivities and receptions, culm
inating in last night's ball, it is clear
from the speech of the visitors that
these were sincerely enjoyed. A strik
ing circumstance of the whole uffalr
which clearly deserves notice was the
uncommon order and decorum that
characterized It throughout. Rarely
- are so inuny persons massed in so small
an urea with such little show of fric
tion or mishap. For this result two
factors are accountable; one, the high
i huracter and amluble maimers of the
Kuests themselves: and the other, the
superior degree of care and thoughtful
ness manifested In the control of the
local arrangements.
As our guests shall today disperse to
all parts of the commonwealth, we feel
sure that they will take with them
only the pleasantest recollections of tho
conclave of IS&ti. No doubt some of
them will have gained a corrected
knowledge of this city and its people.
The conception of Hcrauton which used
to picture It as a straggling' mining
town of desperate lneiu and still more
desperate Inhabitants, if It obtained
two days ago umong any of those who
have since honored us with their pres
ence, obtains no longer, and In its place
will hereafter. We believe, be found
due understanding and appreciation.
For this result of the conclave all con
cerned should be grateful. It is unques
tionably a happy augury of many pleas
ant future relations.
The next storm center will be Cham
bersburg, which will next week enter
tain the state encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic. The chief
feature of interest at this encampment
will be the election of a department
commander. The candidates are Judge
Darte, of "vv'ilkes-Barre, and Colonel
Denworth, of Willlamsport. In behalf
of the former we take pleasure In say
ing that he is a mighty good man,
Bayard's Latest Speech.
Copies of the Loudon papers have
been received with the full text of the
speech delivered on May 9 by Ambas
sador Bayard at the thirty-ninth an
niversary dinner of the 'Savage club
the speech concerning which the Lon
don Daily News was moved to say: "It
and Its reception will linger long In
the memory of those who were present.
It was an emotional speech, and deep
ly stirred the emotions of its hearers
so much so, that some of those who had
not lost all their self-control began to
wonder what was the matter, and
whether the ambassador had any news
of overhanging danger that he should
Import such" a prolonged note of
solemnity Into a' gathering which is
nothing If not Bohemian. In the end
sentiment completely overpowered any
suspicion of diplomacy. At the close
of the speech there was a hurricane of
applause. Then a happily-inspired
Pavnge went to the piano and struck
up 'Auld Lang Syne,' every man at
the dinner table spontaneously rising
to his feet to relieve his overcharged
emotions by joining In the sign I Mount
strain. The episode was thrilling."
This In the passage which excited the
Britishers:
Why do you welcome me here? What is it
that I typify to you? it is the common
manhood of our race. There are many
and troublesome questions around us.
There are points ot difference. There are
questions Unit call for statesmanship and
thilosophy, 'but I believe they are all to
e. solved by Iho manhood that our peo
ples shall present to meet them. You
have plenty of it here, God be thanked.
We have plenty of It In the country I
Trotne from, and I have tried to represent
here the simple, straightforward, unf car
ing, outspoken character of it. A while ngo
In a remote part of the world there was
a ureat catnstroiihe. Away down in Pol
ynesia there came a tornado. Gormuny
and Great Britain and the United States

but only one survived the disaster, it

Kxctpt for n slight slip this is all
very line and true and noble. The
storm in Samoa, us the Daily News
points out, occurred In ISS'J and
.Matthew Arnold died In li'SS. The
"line Knglishmnii" who said that the
cheer of the Trenton's crew rang
'round the world was that prince of
modern Scotchmen, Robert I.oiis
Stevenson. But the name doesn't
matter In comparison with the fact.
Wo have no hesitation in saying that
Bayard at the Savage club presents an
Incomparably more agreeable and rep
resentative figure than Bayard at
Edinburgh, railing like a tit h wife
against the people who pay his salary.
The Tribune appreciates the numer
ous compliments yerterduy paid to It
because of Its superior report of tho
conclave, and begs leave to say that
extra copies of Tuesday's and today's
Issues may be hud at its business of
tlce ready for mailing at two cents
apiece.
As to Jlemorial Day.
There are two sides to every subject;
and while no decent American would
wish to detract one lota from the sweet
folctnnity which is properly a function
of tlie day whereon we pay tribute to
the memory of our soldier dead, It may
well be risked whether all of the present
outcry oalnrt amusements on Memori
al Day Is warranted. AVe recognize
that there is danger of running to an ex
cess the tendency toward amusements
which in themselves are harmless and,
within moderation, even beneficial. Yet
on the other h iml. Is there not some
thing to be raid In favor of u prudent
blending of Joy with sorrow on thut
day'.'
The Chicago Times-Herald Well states
the uuconveutionul side of this subject
when it remarks that the garlanding of
the cemeteries, the mournful trappings,
the solemn drum-beat, the fervent eu
loglcj uud the teurs that will bedew
thousands of mounds ull over th; land
are proof conclusive that Memorial Day
is still sacredly observed by the people,
and that Us solemnity and tenderness
will not diminish. "But." it adds, "the
day has become more than funereal.
Only persons of gro:;s thoughtlessness
would employ Its liberty for dances,
bnnqucts or other forms of dissipation
repugnant to n sublime ideal. Nor have
such offenses become familiar. On the
other hand, the day is replete with
thoughts of national reunion, of broth
erhood restored, of pence, liberty, pro
gress and happiness. Out of this com
panion signllicaiice there has grown it
feeling of relaxation, of rest and ot law
ful Indulgence in open air exercise,
which lu, indeed, un Inevitable rellec
tlon of the fellowship and confidence
implied In Its primary purpose. In so
so far as the recreations of the day are
not In themselves Immoral and keep
within tills limit for fresh air and in
vigorating exercise are always whole
somethe protest ought not to run."
As the passing years have separated
this generation from the tense war
period such relaxation as has In recent
time manifested Itself on this noble hol
iday has been Inevitable. We do not
believe that It signifies Indifference to
the lnextlnctuishnble debt owed by this
nation to Its fallen heroes. It rather
Implies that the generation new-born
Is disposed to have Its day of Innocent
frolic, without which no race can be
considered lit to grapple with crises
when they urlse.
Mr. Kohlsaat's close Identification
with the McKinlcy campaign lends In
terest to a statement just made on the
editorial page of his superior paper.
"There are multiplying Indications,"
says the Times-Herald, "that Mr.
rialt's senseless and unwarranted at
tack upon Major McKinlcy may mean
the ultimate deliverance of the Republi
can party of New York from the rule
of this Imperious autocrat, who has
never been recognized as the real lender
of tlie pnrty, and yet has wrecked It on
the shoals of defeat In every state
campaign with which he has been ac
tively identified." It follows this with
an eloquent enumeration of the cam
paigns which IMatt has lost, and con
cludes by observing that "the prospect
ot the signal repudiation of Plattlsm
opens up a blighter era for the Republi
can party of New York." That this is
the sentiment of Republicanism
throughout the country cannot be
doubted. Piatt, with great capabilities
In certain directions, has by his inflexi
ble prejudices and his lack of the con
ciliatory spirit, earned Just this reputa
tion among the people. His usefulness
to the party Is wholly In the past tense.
The appropriations of the present ses
sion of congress alrendy aggregate
J523,2f,0,00fl, or about $15,000,000 more
than has been appropriated at any first
session of any congress In the history
of the government. In addition, 183,
EOO.000 worth of future contracts have
been authorized. Still, 'don't forget
that this Is a growing country.
A visitor tothe city who Is an ad
mirer of horses Informs us that he has
seldom seen better looking equlncs in
any city than are to be seen In Scran
ton, but he adds: "Walking yesterday
along your beautiful boulevards, I no
ticed . that seventeen horses which
passed in hanma were unshod. It
strikes me that this Is cruelty to a
species of animal which deserves bet
ter treatment fror.i mankind. " The
visitor Is right. We hud Uot noticed
the fact to which he calls attention,
but If his version of It Is correct, there
is need for some vigorous blacksmith
lug iu this town.
- -
Our Republican friends In Luzerne
are apparently devoting most of their
stmre time Just now to thinking up new
candidacies for congress. The latest
suggestion In this direction Is H. Baker
Hillrcan. a gentleman who is undoubt
edly admirably equipped for the posi
tion. At the present rate of Increase,
the congressional field In the mother
county will evidently soon illustrate
Fred Orant's theory that a surplus Is
easier to handle than a deficit.
The new owners of the Kcranton bail
club have ihus far certainly hud their
liberality and enterprise very shabbily
rewarded by the men whose salaries
th'-y pay. We would not blame them
were they soon to substitute the mulled
for the gei.vrolis band.
Accord in;? to a Pittsburg guesser,
Quay is to Le national chairman, Mor
ton is to go on the ticket as Its nom
inee for vice president, and liatt Is to
superintend tha York state pie counter.
We fear this Is entirely too harmon
ious to be tiue.
Mr. Cleveland's continued silence on
the third-term question daily augments
the exasperation of ills party. It
would not surprise us If the Chicago
convention were to pass a vote of cen
sure on him.
Chief Simpson will have tho consola
tion of knowing that his official career
ended in a blaze of glory. The police
department has never been better man
aged than on yesterday.
If Frank Willing Leach can llnd any
particular consolation in continuing to
take himself seriously, we suppose the
party at large cuu stand It.
--
The Piatt organs In New York state
are beginning to howl for hurmony.
They should get Tlatt to set the ex
ample. Governor Hastings Is evidently too
old a bird to be caught by vice-presidential
chaff.
TiiE robf OF THE TROUBLE.
VT. K. Curtis in Chicago Record.
The present revolution In Cuba Is large
ly. If nut entirely, due to the repeal of
tue reciprocity treaty with the United
Slate?. This country Is almost the only
tnnrket for Cube 11 sugar, and the people of
that island uinlcr the reciprocity arrange,
meet obtnineil nearly all their supplies of
inaniifiUluicd articles, breads tints, pro
visions and other lood products from the
I n. lid Siutci. ih.1 commerce between Cu
ba and Great Britain and nil other Euro
pean countries, lntimliu'r Spain, la com
paratively small. Cuba is one of the few
populous plucs that is without dlroct
nleamKhlp connection With lntjland. Tnt
royal mall steamers used to touch at
Cuban ports, but have not done so for
several years because the traffic did hot
pay.
II II II
I'nder the reciprocity treaty Cuban
shear was admitted free Into the United
States, and Hour, provisions, wearing ap
parel, machinery and other merchandise
from this country were udmltted Into
Cuban ports at nominal rates of duty.
The people were prosperous, contented
and spent their money freely. Trade with
the United States Increased enormously.
Sugar, the chief export from Cuba,
brought excellent pi ices and imported
goods were comparatively cheap. The
exports to the United States increas.-d
from J.trt.OuU.O'.'O in mi to 78,0,0(JO in WSi,
but In lMj, after the repeal of the treaty,
thev had dropped to gi2,U0b.00t. Imports
fioin tue United States into Cuba In
ereaFcu from $I2,(H.0ih in ISnl to $24.0),i9
in lbKI. nml dropped back 10 Slii.O-jO.OOO In
1SS5, when the reciprocity arrangements
were repealed. Under reciprocity, articles
of luxury, us well as the necessaries ct
life, were sold at low prices in Cuba, but
whin it was suddenly revoked by our
congress there was a decided chanqe.
The cost of all Imported goo.lh was nearly
doubled. The duty on Hour, which had
been only M cents a barrel under reclpro
cit, was Increased to $5.21 a barrel, and
everything else In proportion. At the
demand of the Cuban representative In
the Spanish cortes the duty was after
ward reduced to JI.10, but that left the
coat nearly lw per cent, higher than It hud
been, and placed It beyond the reach ot
the ki enter part ot the population. In
S9l, before the reciprocity arrangement
Was negotiated, 111,411 barrels of flour
were Imported into Cuba from the United
States. In P&4 that trade had lnciea3ed
to OU-'.'JIS barrels, a growth of more than
4s0 per cent. In the year after the
annulment of the reciprocity treaty, the
exports of flour fell to barrels, a
loss of more than 42 per cent.
II il II
Under the reciprocity treaty the sugar
Indnustry In Cuba was very much en.
lurged. N'ew plantations were opened,
new mills were erected, new lines of tradu
were established and large amounts ot
capital were invested In their develop
ment by citizens of the United States as
well as Cubans under the supposition that
I he reciprocity arrangement, which
brought ho much prosperity, would be
permanent. The duty imposed upon sugar
by the United States placed every plat.t-r
In Cuba at tho mercy of the Sugar trust,
und while the cost of every imported arti
cle, Including Hour, provisions and almost
nil the necessaries of life, was Immediate
ly doubled, the income ot the principal
part of the population was reduced 50 per
cent. Tlie Sugar trust comocllcd the
planters to pay the duty of 40 per cent.
Impost d upon stigur by the Wilson-Gorman
bill, the export price of raw sugar,
which was 42.7u a hundred-weight before
Hie reciprocity arrangement was repealed,
dropped immediately to 11.70 a hundred
weight. And not only did tlie planters
sillier this enormous decrease In price, but
there was a very large fulling on' in the
volume of trade. Iu ISM We Import. -d
$.',i;.I1i','.:'.:I5 of sugar from Cuba; In ISM. StV...
iilii.uizi; in Is!)!, jti7.4l8.uuti, and lu 189;. when
the duty was relinposed, the total dropoed
to Slu.lim.iiuO. The planters were compelled
to divide their losses with their employes,
who suffered a sudden reduction of more
than ont-half their wages, in the mean
time the enormous taxes that urv im
posed by Spain to maintain on" inmy nf
soldiers und another army of olllchils con
tinned. The result was msrontent and
disturbance all over the Island. The peo
ple rebelled. Protests were sent to the
cortes and the ministry of the colonies at
Madrid was overwhelmed with remon
strances. The iritatlon caused little out
breaks here and there and finally open
rebellion.
, . , . H II II '
During the debate upon the tariff bill In
the summer of 1S9I an Interview was
published In the?v dispatches with Dr.
Jose Ignaelo Kodtiguei, u Cuban gentle,
man In this city, who predicted that u
revolution would follow the repeal of thi
reciprocity arrangement for the rensons
given. His prophecy was fulltlled within
nine months.
TOO Ml'CII SPECULATION.
From the Jermyn Press,
One of the fruits of the civil war will h
Judge Hand in his recent speech before
the Scranton board of trade did not en
largo on, although his words were suf
ficiently comprehensive to Include our own
Ideas thereon, was tho diversion of the
money-getting abilities of many from their
legitimate channels to one that Is suici
dal. Before the war the few rich men
who were In this country had grown
rich through the channels of trade, und
the most rubld socialist of today will nd
mil that they acquired their wealth hon.
estly. But with the Incoming ot the re
construction period there loomed up before
the financiers' eyes glorious opportunities
to amuss wealth through the fluctuations
cf market prices, and especially through
the natural rite in values of real estate
and railways. Gambling in stocks, e8
peclttlly In railroad stocks, becatno a ren
ognlr.od business, and ns a result we have
hundred:! of millionaires in this country
today who have become such, not bv hon.
est trnde nor by the legitimate pro'nta ct
manufactures, but by stock gambling.
Very faw investors in these days, w!n
thy purchase shares In a factory, a ml a
or a isllroad. expect to uiako nioucy
through tho natural profits of the aunie.
Their ground hop t a rise In tb value of
chares, and wnetiier th cuacern em
ploys ten mu or a thousand is omiUerrd
01 tmall moment. So tue day be hastened
hen ahare bought for a dollar each shall
command flu.
There la no safer Investment of capital
than the employment of human labor, and
there la no better chani.el for the circu
lation of money thaa through the working-nan's
hand. Kvery dcliur spent in tin
direction la a hem lit not only to the in
vestors but to the general public It cre
ates a market for numerou.i article now
almost unsalable, anthracite for In
stance, tiivo the work:nt":n!"n a chance to
earn dollars and he will immediately cr
aie a market for m.inufa.tureu aiiicies.
In their turn the fsc'.oric-s will cr.?ale a de.
mand for anthracite end thus everybody
will be h.-.utitej. Hut tho rapiiai.st of
tclay prefei-s a more rapid road to wealth,
lie ignores the claims of his poorer breth
ren and turns to real mate and rauroi.l
stocks. He grows rich, mightily rich,
while the poor grow poorer stili. and the
administration, whether Republican or
Democrat, gels the blame.
