Election Day, Not'. 3.
Now let the Scranton ball club fisht
it out ou that line all summer.
Godspeed to the Booths.
There can be no mistaking the sin
cerity of the welcome yesterday accord
ed by the leadei-3 in Scranton's religious
life to Commander and Mrs. Balllngton
Booth. Much of this welcome was no
doubt personal and came as a tribute to
their magnificent unselfishness and
demonstrated devotion to the cause of
practical philanthropy and vital Chris
tianity. The favorable Impression left
by them upon their former visit to our
city has been broadened and deepened
until now they may feel assured of the
steadfast esteem and earnest co-operation
of the effective element in our citi
zenship. But back of this personal regard and
even superior to itia a guarantee of the
future success of the American Volun
teer movement In this community is the
fact that these distinguished visitors
have planted themselves on impregna
ble ground. They stand conspicuously
for principles O.ear to true American
ism; they st".nd for God and country
this country: America! They are not
only among us but they are of us. They
work not simply for better manhood but
also for nobler citizenship; for the de
velopment of cleaner and purer civic in
fluences; for the uplifting of the flag
Let those who wish cavil at the senti
ment of robust patriotism; it is 'he
sentiment which is needed above all oth
er sentiments today the sentiment
which we cannot with safety spare.
To the work of the Booths, therefore,
vre bid Godspeed! Of its eventual
growth and splendid ultimate triumph
we can entertain no doubts.
By the election of Judge Alfred Darte,
of Wllkes-Barre, as department com
mander, the Pennsylvania encampment
of the Grand Army of the Republic has
conferred deserved honor upon a brave
soldier and a distinguished and worthy
civilian. The choice Is admirable in ev
ery possible aspect.
Don't Worry About the Press.
It Is well that there are from time to
time men with sufficient discernment
to point out the Intrinsic weaknesses of
a government by majorities. From
such men's guidance wc get our true
beai'Iugs and are enabled to make safer
and surer progress. The article by "Pro
fessor Blackmar In the June Forum is
a criticism In point. He analyzes the
democratic system not unkindly, but In
the mil in Justly. He shows Its dangers
and properly assumes that Its benefits
stand In no xpeclul need of review since
they ure apparent to all men.
We shall not at this time, however,
give attention to more than one point In
his argument. The professor is an ad
mirer of the press as a potent force in
democratic government, lie calls lt a
"masterly service" and pronouncoB Its
freedom an "inestimable privilege."
But he Imagines that when the tatter
was made one of the foundation stones
of this republic many abuses that have
since arisen In connection with the free
dom of the press were not then under
stood. "It could not be foreseen," says
lie, "that a time would come when a
partisan press: would seek to mislead the
people. It cculd not be foreseen that a
time would come when whole columns
of 'fake news would be published; that
whole columns of sensational 'stuff'
would be printed and read. It could not
be foreseen that the family paper would
contain r little of everything, like the
refuse-box In a type-room. Jt could not
be realized that a time would come
when this man would be written 'up'
and this one 'down' for personal gain.
One did not realize that measures would
be advocated on a purely 'commercial'
basis."
Is that so? Where, then, were the
eyes of the republic's founders?. Long
before their day the press was doing
just these tnings, with the possible ex
ception of "containing a little of every
thing." The newspapers of the last
century, In the colonies and In England,
were not strong on variety, but' they
certainly did "seek to mislead the peo-

basis. There Is not a partisan of gad of
today, not one, which would admit to
Its columns at any time material one
half so libelous and scurrilous as that
which flooded the political Journals
seventy-five and one hundred-ears ago.
True, as Professor Blackmar says,
"people are losing their reverence for
print A printed lie has not more effect
now than an oral one." But let a reput
able newspaper of today print the truth
about a derelict public official, a shady
commercial enterprise or a political
"Job," and see how quickly the galled
Jade will wince. At no time since his
tory began has the press been so power
ful an Influence upon public thought as
It Is now. The people expect the press
to be honest, and upon the whole it is.
The exceptions are rendered possible by
the patronage of the very public which

Journalism and then tumble over Itself
In a mad rush for the latest edition of
the lulest scandal.
If the president is holding Cuban
recognition back as a last campaign
card, he will need to play It soon or the
silver . Democrats will have a two
thirds majority of the tricks.
Inadequate Defenses.
Some time ago a committee of the
senate was appointed to examine the
const defenses of the country and report
upon their condition. Senator Squire,
the chairman, has given to the press an
advance summary of the committee's
Tindlng. "Wb'.t we need properly to
defend New York with," says he, "Is
93 hlsh-pow ei, long-range guns' of 8, 10
and VI Inches'. In addition to these we
need 176 twelve-Inch steel rifle mortars
and twenty-five rapid fire guns. If the
whole of the manufacturing facilities In
tho country were put to work now It
would take at least seven months to
make the forgings for one gun, and then
it would require from six months to
one year to complete the defenses that
are absolutely necessary.
"At Sandy Hook we found but two
twelve-Inch guns ready to be fired, and
these had no range finders and were
lacking the details necessary to do good,
effective work. There are no men kept
there, and If troops should be sent there
they would not know what to do with
these guns. As an Instance, the men
who were there could not get up steam
to show the committee the rise and
fall of these two guns. At Fort WaJs
worth we found five eight-Inch guns,
none .ready for use, and they will not
be until some time In August. They are
all the direct fire guns in the lower
bay. There are sixteen guns and a
mortar battery at the Hook, but to get
all the mortars and these guns In shape,
If work were begun right away, at least
a year would be required. The system
of using torpedoes Is almost useless un
less the torpedoes are protected by gurrn
and flashlights, which are lacking."
In other words, at the best calcula
tion, If war were suddenly to break out
between this country and a strong na
val power, It would be a full year after
the beginning of hostilities before we
should be ready to make any kind of
a defense of our chief port city whose
destruction by the mortars of a foreign
fleet would, In a few hours, devolve upon
us a loss greater than was sustained
on both sides during four years of ter
rible civil war. This may be an eco
nomical condition of affairs and It may
not. But If the city or New York were
to guard itself against damage by fire
on the same easy plan that the United
States gu.nrds It against damage by in
vasion, there would soon be an upris
ing In favor of a better fire department.
The Pittsburg Times, In a recent re
view of the normal schools of the state,
pays high tribute to the one at East
Stroudsburg, the "marvelous1 growth
and unparalleled success of which," it
says, "have called forth the most favor
able comment from people in all parts
of Pennsylvania." It also compliments
Principal George P. Bible, who, nl
though the youngest executive in charge
of such an institution, has shown that
he possesses qualifications second to
none. These words of recognition have
been fully won by hard and faithful
work, and Tho Tribune gladly makes
note of them.
The Czar of the White House.
A peculiar story Is related to illus
trate the desperation with which Presi
dent Cleveland has endeavored to fight
back the free sliver sentiment In the
Democratic party. In a letter to Sen'
ntor Vest, written by George P. Hum'
mer, a leading silver Democrat of Mich'
Igan, and capable, It Is said, of sub
stantlatlon by affidavit, the statement
Is made that on the night when the
Michigan Democratic convention declar
ed for gold and bound the delegation to
that standard by use of the unit rule,
Elliott G. Stevenson, a law partner of
Don M. Tiicklnson, while boasting of
the way Ii- hlch the silver men. had
been defeated, tol Hummer of the part
which President Cleveland had had In
the affair, Mr. Stevenson said that
Mr. Cleveland telegraphed him to come
to Washington, and when ho arrived
there told him that the state must de
clare against silver and Indorse the ad
ministration. Mr. Stevenson said that
he replied that the state was very
largely for Bllverj that even Kent
county, out of which Mr. Uhl had been
appointed ambassador to Germany, had
gone for silver; that there was no way
In which to prevent the election of a
large majority of free sliver delegates,
but that if the president Insisted he
thought that "the state could be stolen
for the administration." The president
did Insist, Mr. Stevenson went on to say,
and gave him carte blanche to use the
postmasters and federal officials as he
might choose. He returned to Mlchi
gan, and, summoning all the federal of
flclals, had many of them agree to run
as sliver candidates tor the state con
ventlon with the understanding that
they should vote against silver when
they were eleoted According to Mr,
Hummer this programme was carried
out, and with the result everybody la
familiar.
This narrative, which Is taken In Its
present form from the Washington
Post, a journal by no means unfriendly
to the administration, has Its counter
tort In one which Is current among the
newspapers cf Ohio, to the effect that a
Irtter from Senator Brlce to an agent
In that state has been discovered, ask
ing such questions concerning the
Democratic delegates-elect to the Ohio
convention as would lead the reader to
Infer that a wholesale scheme of bribery
was at one time In contemplation for the
purpose of winning silver delegates.
over to gold. That wherever the ad
ministration can use patronage cr
promises to tight silver It Is doing so
without limit or scruple, precisely as It
did during its fight for the repeal of
the Pherman silver-purchase act. Is es
tablished beyond doubt. In fait, the
whole political strength of the white-
house has been manipulated without
cessation for more than two years past
with steady view to tho carrying of tho
Democratic national convention this
year for gold.
l.'nder these circumstances, and with
out regard to the merit or demerits of
the silver movement itself, we suspect
that every decent man will be rejoiced
to see the Democratic party rising In Its
dignity and preparing to rebuke this
impudent attempt on the part of Presi
dent Cleveland to bend everything to
his proud will. The question of silver
against gold. Important as It may ul
timately become before this so-called
financial flurry Fhnll have ended, Is at
this tlm decidedly Inferior In signifi
cance to the other question whether the
presidential office shall remain a branch
of the government co-ordinate and co
operative with the other two branches
as ordained by the constitution, or be
exalted through unrebuked usurpation
into a seat of virtual absolutism.
The failure of the Cleveland to
recognize In any way the recent mar
riage of the daughter of Vice-President
Stevenson Is the more noticeable since
the day chosen for the happy event
was by Intention the tenth anniversary
of the president's own marriage.
Grover Cleveland Is evidently a queer
man.
We appreciate the favor shown by
the esteemed Pawtucket Post for the
Tribune's editorials, and assume that
the omlsion of credit was accidental.
DEMOCRACY'S JONAH.
Wcllman in the Times-Herald.
The Jonah of the Democratlo party Is
Grover Cleveland. Perhaps history will
be searched 111 vain for another such rec
ord of political failure, regarded from
the nartv standpoint, as that wtiicn -Mr.
Cleveland is scoring. As a president he
has been strong In devotion to his auiiea
and ideals and has won the confidence of
lnrae masses of the people. But as a
party leader his career has been one of
blunder ana totality, uurinff nis nrsi
term he made it impossible for his party
to re-elect him. During his second term
he has not only made it impossible for
Democracy to re-elect him or any othes
Democrat, but he has driven the party
upon the rocks of rebellion and revolu
tion. He will lay down his stewardship
with his party In confusion, defeat and
dishonor. The humiliating part of It to
Mr. Cleveland must be that the Democra
cy refuses to adhere to his teachings and
Insists upon getting lust as lur as possi
ble from the doctrines which he has en
deavored to commit them to. The anger
ing part of It Is that this result Is In large
part due to the mistakes, to the willful
ness, to the pettiness, to the stubborn con
ceit and the revengefulneis of Mr. Cleve
land himself.
According to the present outlook, Ohio is
going to desert the administration's stand
ard and declare for free silver. This Is an
unnatural thliiir fur the Democracy of
Ohio to do. Men who ure familiar with
party sentiment In that state suy O.i!o
la not for silver, neither In one party nor
In the other. The Buckeye state would
not be on the hlKhway toward sllverlsm
If Mr. Cleveland had been content to Hike
a more reasonable view of certain petty
matters of patronage, and had been able
to curb a little of his prejudices and pas
sions. As tne rase now stands, It Is not at
all Improbable that Ohio's wunderlng after
the silver goddess will take the Demo
cratic party from Its moorings and form
a new epoch In American polities, all
growing ovt of the trivial Incident of
President Cleveland's interference In the
appointment of a deputy postmaster at
Cincinnati.
Lew Bernard is now the Democratic boss
of Cincinnati, as he has been for many
years. When Mr. Brown, of that city,
was appointed postmaster he wanted to
make Bernard his deputy. He made the
appointment, ns far us he could, but
when the matter reached tho postolllco
department It was held up by order of
President Cleveland. It Is said this was
the first case on record where a president
had Interfered In the appointment of a
deputy postmaster. The matter drifted
along for some time, until Senator Brlce,
accompanied by all the Democratic con
gressmen from Ohio, went to the whltu
house and urged the president to permit
the appointment of Mr. Bernard to be per
fected. Attorney General Harmon, who
had been associated In politics with Ber
nard, also begged Mr. Cleveland to do
this, and his appeal wks seconded by Sec
retary Carlisle, who nlso knew Bernard,
and by Postmaster General Wilson. But
President Cleveland, stubborn as usual,
refund to change his mind. Bernard
wns tur-ed down against, the advice of
every one who knew anything about Ohio
politics, and contrary to all precedents in
such cases.
I! !! !!
And what has been the result? Simply
that Mr. Bernard, who is not n free sliver
man by conviction, has Joined forces with
the silver crowd In tho Buckeye state
purely out of revenge, and is about to
throw Hamilton county to the 16 to 1 out
fit. The certainty that Bernard will do
this lias caused Senator Brlce virtually
to B've un the fight ui Ms state, whero
Bernard has made an alliance with Mc
Lean and Bookwilter. As Cincinnati goes
so the state will go. and for this one act
of petty revenpe Mr. Cleveland may have
to stand by and see his party led Into the
free silver camp. Bernard Is not a man
of the highest character, to bo sure, nor
yet of the lowest. Yet he Is a typlcul
politlcluli. But- It wns not on account of
his character or reputation that thct graat
president of the United States Interfered
and prevented him becoming deputy post
muster at Cincinnati. Bernard's offense
was that he voted against the nomlna.

Colnnel W. J. Soott. who Is one of the
Republican aspirants for senator, braved
the sand burgers of Scranton the othor
day and looked over the town.
"Well," he saij when chatting of his
visit, "there is no reason why we should
be envious of Scranton. Yet I am forced
to admit that it would be a good thing for
WllUes.Barre If we hnd In our midst a
man like John Jermyn."
So It would. We need Just such a hotel
as Mr. Jermyn built. Dollars to buttons
it would make more money here than In
Scranton.
