Now that the conclave Is over, we
wish to compliment the Scran ton K
imblican uron Its discernment in re
publishing, In Its Wednesday's Issue,
a considerable part of the excellent re
port printed in The Tribune on Tues
day. Better late than never.
A Word of Caution.
While there can no longer be any rea
sonable doubt that the feellns which
will animate the great majority of
delegates to the St. Louis convention
will be firmly hostile to the Idea of
taking doubtful risks In relation to sli
ver coinage. It need not and, for con
sistency's sake, should not follow that
that convention must commit the party
unreservedly to the gold standard. The
fact deserves to be recognized that
hitherto the Republican party, In na
tional platforms and through leading
orators, has espoused, indorsed and
pledged its eo-opcratlon to bimetall
ism. At this mimite probably a ma
jority, but certainly a considerable mi
nority of Its membership favors the
double in preference to the single
standard, conditional upon Its estab
lishment by concert of the chief na
tions. 1
Senator Hoar recently said In the
senate that every Republican In New
England was In favor of international
bimetallism. The recent Republican
conventions In Maine, Massachusetts,
New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Illinois and Indiana took action which
indicated a desire for the rehabilita
tion of silver to complete parity with
Kold by international concurrence.
Judging, therefore, from these recent
expressions, is it not reasonable to sup
pose that a plank at St. Louis' declar
ing for the existing standard but
pledging the party's active endeavors
in behalf of an international restora
tion of bimetallism would be more con
uistent with past declarations and
more prudent as a matter of present
policy than a dogmatic, inflexible pro
nouncement for gold now and Anally?
Says Senator Carter, one of the fore
most of the so-called sllverites, yet a
man esteemed sufficiently four years
ago to be made national chairman of
his party: "This Is not oil the tllver
Republicans would like. They believe
in free coinage. But they also believe
in the Republican party, and do not
want to be driven out of It. Such a
platform would hold many of them In
the ranks. It would contain a promise
lor the future. It would give Republi
cans who believe in protection a chance
to go home and tell their people the
party was not an enemy of silver, that
a policy had been adopted which might
lead to great results In the future, that
most Republicans agreed silver must
some day be rehabilitated, that tha
only differences of opinion were as to
the method by which it was to be done,
and that the silver men must pxerclse
patience and wait for the coming of
conditions favorable to their caube."
We recognize the temptation under
which the St. Louis convention will
rent to bid for the applause of gold
standard extremists by a plank snap
ping In a moment the long association
with the party of the thousands of
thoughtful men, not simply in the west
but all over the country, who, taking
their cue from Irreproachable Republi
can Instruction, believe, without a tinge
of selfish Interest, that the only perma
nent solution of the periodical financial
convulsions of the past quarter-century
Is to be found in a return, sooner
or later, to the bimetallic standard.
But before this temptation is permit
ted to carry Its point, let the delegates
reflect that, however bright may seem
the prospect of Republican success In
JS90, there will be future elections when
the lesson of Democratic mismanage
ment will not be so potent a contribu
tor to Republican majorities, and when
it will be necessary to husband party
strength and guard against the need
less sacrifice of party unity and en
thusiasm. It looks as If when Brother Piatt
goaded Warner Miller to open warfare
he prodded the wrong animal.
Need of an Extra Session.
It may seem a far cry from now un
til the Inauguration of the next presl-
tknt UnI.U I- .... . , . ..
the report' which comes from Canton
crediting; Major McKlnley with, intend
ing, the day after his installation Into
the office of Uihlef magistrate, to call
nn extra session of congress for the
purpose of securing immediate consid
eration of the state of the national
: revenues. .
This report, although unauthorised,
la probably true. Jt conforms to what
will clearly be the next president's J
commanding duty. The national ;
finances are in a tangle. Each day adds j
to the treasury's enibarrasjincr.t. Cur j
income as n nation is ntt su.lK'i- nt to
meet our jiecejsi-.: y current cron-es,
not to mention the now dtlts v.Mi h '
Ii-mocracy has accumulated for future
cancllHt!on nor the intervening inter
est charts. This unnatural and un
safe condition of the finances cf our
country has reflected Itself In private
affairs, causing distrust, apprehension
and monetary stringency. It has pie
rlpltated run after run on the treasury.
It has contributed to an unprecedented
fall In prices. It has been very largely
the means of reducing 3.000,000 Ameri
can workingmen to whole or partial
Idleness. And it will go on from bad
effects to worse unless it shall be speed
ily and effectively corrected, by such a
readjustment of the tariffs of the nation
as will Insure adequate revenue without
forfeiting American Industry, and
guarantee an honest dollar with tho
chance to earn it by honest toil.
To this doctrine Major McKlnley- la
pledged;, to.lt he owes his remarkable
present popularity, and to It, when he
shall be elected president, he will prop
erly devote his serious and Immediate
attention. He can do this with especial
grace because while the deficit accumu
lated as a consequence of the present
Democratic tariff amounts thus far to
$163,000,000, or more than STO.ooO.OOO a
year, there was no deficiency whatever
under the tariff act which bore his
name, but, on the contrary, a net sur
plus of over $13,000,000. Therefore, he
wfll not need to recommend tho adop
tion of novel and uncertain experiments
but can advocate tho regulation of the
future by the wise teachings of the in
structive past.
If Nikola Tesla con substantiate all
his expectations, the new light of 1,1s,
concerning which so much is said, will
resemble veritable little suns. In a
bulb like that now employed for a
lC-condlo power Incandescent light, he
expects to secure a light of nearly 1.0C0
candle power, without any film to burn
out. Tho electricity for this purpose
can be taken from any charged wire,
and the voltage now used in the In
candescent system will, it Is promised,
do ten times Its present work. The
publio eagerly awaits developments.
Oeneral Allies on War.
The editor of the Cosmopolitan mag
azine recently requested General Miles
to prepare a paper giving an outline ot
probable first steps In a war between
this country, and a great European
power, for Instance, England. The
general properly declined to comply
with this request, upon the ground that
It would necessarily Involve a giving
away of official secrets. But he wrote,
and the June number of Mr. Walker's
magazine contains, an Interesting pa
per on the duty which Americans ow
to themselves to prepa.-e In time of
peace such means of defense as would
shield thorn In case of war. j
General Miles, we take It, Is not hope- )
ful of a speedy realization of tho golden
dream of universal peace. "Happy,"
says he, "would It be for a nation If It
could reach such a stage of excellence
and moral character that all Its affairs
could be administered with intelligence,
wisdom and justice, so that the resort
to physical forco would be unnecessary,
either in the adjustment of its Internal
uffalrs, dissensions and dlsafiectlons, or
in the maintenance of its Interests and
character with Its neighbors. We have
not reached those millennial days, how
ever; and while we would not encour
age war or a spirit of hostility, yet we
would simply deceive ourselves should
we close our eyes to the lessons ot his
tory or the obvious perils In which the
defenseless would find themselves In the
event of war."
Assuming, therefore, that the possi
bility of war has yet tu be reckoned
with, the bulk of General Miles' en
deavor Is to prove that we ought not to '
delay the work of preparation. He is j
especially anxious to removo the im- j
presslon that a war would be likely to j
be reached only artcr a long interval
of word-bnndyins, sufficient to allow us
to get properly ready for the Inevitable.
He cites in this connection the result
of an Inquiry by the British adjutant
general as to the historical ca?es in
which hostilities had taken place be
tween civilized powers prior to a decla
ration of war. The period covered was
between 1700 and 1S70; and while there
were more than 100 cases of war where
in the first blow has been struck before
notice was given, there were only 10
cases to the contrary. This proves, he
thinks, that the only safe way Is to be
prepared at all times fur the unex
pected. But how shall we prepare? The gen
eral of the army, obeying traditions,
takes little stock In the talk of a larger
navy. Already, he points out, we have
spent $110,371,710.10 nn that portion of
our equipment for war, or $10,000,000
more than would havo sufficed, accord
ing to the estimate of the Endlcott
board, to fortify every important
American port so as to make it im
pregnable In the event of naval attack;
yet that navy Is still only a small
affair, ranking eighth in the
world's list. "Great Britain alone,"
he says, "has CO battleships
to our 3; SO coast defense ves
sels and armored cruisers to our 20; HO
unarmored cruisers to our 43; 1S9 tor
pedo boats in service to our 2; and C2
In process of building to our 7. And she
has enrolled 88,850 officers and men to
our )3,4C0, including marines."
Not only Is Great Britain's navy su
perior to ours now, but it Is the purpose
of the English government to keep it
superior. "Her policy," says Oeneral
Miles, "Is known to be to maintain the
strength of the British navy In equality
If not in superiority with the navies of
any two foreign powers. No effort on
our part to equal her naval strength at
sea is likely to succeed in tfhe near fu
ture." And' while It Is England's plan
In case of war "to place her first line
of defense at the enemy's coast," the
United States, on the contrary."are con
solidated and able to reinforce their
coast defenses without encountering
the vicissitudes of protracted sea voy
ages and of foreign climates."
In brief, the advice of the general of
the American army Is to waste no more
money on warships, but work night and
day until every Important American
seaboard city shall be so protected by
coast defenses that If the predatory
squadron of an enemy's vessels should
ever suddenly anchor In Its harbor with
hostile Intent, the attack could be re
pelled as rapidly a3 it could be made.
There Is rerewal cf the recent talk
about aiding tie persecuted Armenians
to emigrate to rcme more hospitable
country, and amo;:g other sUes for such
a colony the Canadian northwest
la sugjrestcd. Unfortunately. Turkey
does not want the Armenians to emi
grate, and consequently the plan will
fail. The Armenians make too rich
robbing to render It possible for them
to get free tickets of leave from their
periodical despoilers.
Next I
The Buffalo Enquirer, which was es
tablished as a Democratic organ and
which later became Independent in its
politics, has decided to cast its lot with
the Republicans this year, and In an
nouncing Its decision ll gives many
Kood reasons for the stp. After re
viewing how sadly the Democrats have
fuiled In the past three years to meet
public expectations, the Enquirer re
marks: Th Democratic party, with a record
of failure in administering our own af.
fairs ami vacillation in regard to tho
utt'uir of otlirr nations, fara the coun
try wllh a single U-in that there must be
currency reform. But no man can tell
w liul reform Is to be proposed. Will It be
gold monometallism? Will It be trv coln
uife of slivii T Will It be uild eat paper,
lusuej by th bunks of forty-flve state,
the vacuum of corpsrale debts, as a
security? To the uncertainty as to pol
icy Hiid principle ij ajiled the uncertainty
as to a cutiUitla'.e. There la not a single
Democrat in the lltlil who commands the
conllilence, to auy nothing of the enthu
hlasin. cf the Democratic masses. The
peopl give no hint of a choice; unci thei'a
is no politician with courage enough to
prots lils claim. J! is actually within the
possibilities that the Chlcaiju convention
tnav nominate Mr. Cleveland for a third
term, and so turn disloyal to tho vital prln.
ciple on which tho Democratic party was
fuu mleil distrust of exurutivw power ar.fl
persistence in otlice. The prospect Is,
therefore, us to pulley, chaos; ur.d as to
leadership, ireuson.
Assuming that chaos and treason are
to be shunned, and believing that a
political change from Clevelandlsm Is
ncessary at this time, the Buffalo pa
per continues:
The Republican parly Is at least a party
of hopefulness; It Is distinctly optimistic
not pessimistic, and we have had enough
of calamity and despair. It la for tho
present tho party that bears promise ot
rest, peace and security. It secmB In
clined to leave undisturbed our industrial
system, to which, whether wisely or un.
wisely, our business has been formed. It
teems disposed to nialntnln our financial
system, refusing to wrest It to the wrong
of the creditor by the free coinage of all.
ver or to the wrong of the debtor by de
monetization of our standard dollars or
retirement of our legal tender paper. It
may take the government out of Wall
street and Wall street out of the govern
ment, give the classes a chance to invest
their money In business enterprises rather
than national bonds, and let the masses
have full swing In working out their
own prosperity. It is to the credit of tha
Republican party that it lias produced a
man tit for the political occasion, Will
iam McKlnley; and that the plain citizens
of that party have spoken out so strongly
in favor of his nomination regardless of
Iho will of the mere political managers.
Me Is a pure and honest citizen; he was
a gallant soldier: he has been an able
party leader as well as a loyal party fol
lower. Ha stand3 out sharply for all thai
Is best in Republicanism; end that Is the
best there Is slnco Democracy became tem
porarily demoralized.
This Is merely tho beginning. It is
the first public confession of what thou
sands of Democrats have for months
been saying privately. It has preceded
the nominating conventions but the
great reaction will follow them. The
greatest difficulty which the Republi
can party will encounter In this cam
paign will be In finding room for the
millions who will flock to Its standard.
The election by yesterday's grand
Templar commandery of Major T. F.
Penman to the grand junior warden
ship was a graceful and well-merited
compliment alike to Mr. Penman and to
the city which presented'hlm as Its
candidate. That the honor was wisely
bestowed Is true as well from- a per
sonal as from a geographical stand
point. We congratulate Major Penman
and felicitate the local commanderles.
It Ij estimated that 1,210,000 men who
nerved In the union army during the re
bellion still survive. But for the past
five years tho annual death rate has
nverarrcd above 2.,000; and In tha nat
ural order of things it must soon mul
tiply rapidly. Now, therefore, la the
time to do justice to the veterans. It
will soon be too late.
Chauncey Black's harmony proposi
tion that the nominee of the Chicago
convention be pledged in advance to
sign, If elected, any currency bill passed
by congress Is safe enough, since that
nominee will not be elected. But doesn't
it show a culpable willingness to subor
dinate principle to expediency?
One week from Saturday Huntingdon
county Republicans will ballot for their
preference as between Penrose and
Wanamaker for United States senator.
But supposo Hastings should be a can
didate? As if they had not troubles enough of
flii.lp own. thn T.nzenip nnnera are be
ginning to talk Lackawanna oongres-
slonal politics, well, talk Is cheap.
RUSSIA'S NEW CZAR.
From the Chicago Times-Herald,
Nicholas If, born 13G3, succeeding to
the throne on the death of his father
Nov. 1, lbtfi, does not know the extent of
his empire, which is too large to be
measured, but comprises at least a sev
enth of the. land surface of the globe.
Over Low many people lie is ruler he does
not know, for no census system has yet
been devised by which they can be enu
merated. They are at least 19u.miO.OUO, and
they have surpassed in multiplication
within liU years any other people of an
cient or modern timus. Ills subjects com
prehend, moreover, a larger variety of
the human species than has ever acknowl
edged any other sovereignty. It is prob
able that there may be found within the
confines of his empire descendants of ev
ery great division historically known us
the human family of Asia and Euro; jo.
The diplomacy of tho empire,, never more
brilliant than during the reiitn of his
father and the interval between his own
ascension and coronation, has virtually
made subject to his crown the other colos
sal empire of history, China, with its nlso
unmeasured area, not less than 4,0iXl,Uv of
square miles and Its uncountable hordes,
not less than 4UO,00O,00O.
Nicholas 11 promises well as the crown
falls upon his head. Autocrat and despot,
his coronation proclamtlon will bring back
to their homes thousands of exiles from
Siberia. The prisons of tho empire are be
cleared of other thousands; debtors are to
have their debts canceled; repressive laws
are to b relaxed, personal liberty Is to bo
extended to largn classes of the people, re
ligious oppression Is to cease, enforced
tributes are to be lightened, generous gifts
are to be bestowed upon the poor and the
worthy, honors are to fail lavishly. By
larncss and pledges the sovereign Is to
seek the good will nnd confidence of his
people as he. seises from the hands of the
head of the church the Imperial bauble,
which, like a ChiirlcmaRne, ho will placj
upon his own head with his own hands
as a greater pernonage thun even the
vice-regent of Uod.

TUIS IS Ql'CER TALK.
From the Chicago Record.
Senator Lodye says that any attempt to
nominate .Mr. Heed for vice-president will
be met with a positive and authorised
declaration that he will decline even if tho
nomination is unanimous, uiid If the na
tional convention takes the responsibility
of putting him on the ticket after such an
announcement Mr. Keed will fitl absolved
from all delicacy in making a formal
declination. His friends say that the
speaker of the house is a bigger man than
the vlce-:.irpldeni; that he exercises more
influence in public affairs, and that If Air.
Rood remains In public lifo he would pre
fer to retain his present position.
JtECOGMZIXft COLD FACT!.
From the Wllkes.Earre News-Dealer.
Were Wllkes-Barre called upon to take
care of the crowd that invaded Seranum
Tuesday she would be completely
swamped. She simply could not take cam
of them and hundreds would lie compelled
to roam the aireels without a place to Iny
their heads. These would go home and
tell their experiences. They would put
donn Wllkes-Burre as a very good city to
avoid, and they would take good care not
to come here agalu If they could possibly
help it.
OUR BEST sr.CLUITY.
From a Speech by William McKinley.
An open schoolhouse, free to all, evi
dences the highest type of advanced civil
ization. It is the gateway to progress,
prosperity and honor, and tho best security
for the liberties and Independence of the
people. It Is better than garrisons and
guns, than forts and fleets. An educated
people, governed by true moral principles,
can never take a backward step, nor be
dispossessed of their citizenship or liber,
ties.
AN ENTIRE SUCCESS.
From the Wilkes-Harre Leader.
Tho Scranton Tribune issued a souvenir
Knights Templar number this morning,
the first page being in the form of a cover
emblemutlc of the order. A large portion
of the paper is devoted to the state con.
clave, now in session at Scranton, and as
evidence of enterprise and enthusiasm it is
an entire success.
EQUAL TO ANYTHING.
From the Wilkes-Barre News-Dealer.
Scranton had a double celebration
Tuesday, but was equal to the occasion.
Scranton Is equal to almost anything when
