Anyhow, ex-Attorney Cenerut Pal mer had a whole lot ot fun out of It nml made the rnce iletures(iu. For Congress. At tlio risk of being thought preju diced. The Tribune desires to say u ftw words concerning- the announcement by William Council of his candidacy for congress. Mr. Connell, it U true, U one of Me owners of this jwer, a fact which, or dinarily would seal Its columns against words of personal eomm-ndatloif'. But If all thorn: local enterpilses In which he is actively Interested to the com munity's benefit were to be prevented by his participation In ttem from voicing their recognition of his worth, there still would be nn earnest demand from dis interested citizens for hln selection as this Industrial district's next represen tative in congr, . That ccnurcfs promises to be one of unusual Importance. It will be charged with practically the reconstruction of the nation's revenue system. To It will be delegated by the people at the com ing election the welcome but at the same time dillicuit task of readjusting the national policy so as to do away with deficits, reverse the now adverse bal ance of foreign trade and restore among domestic industries needed protection against foreign competition. This work will not call for butterfly (statesmanship. H will demand serious and practical buTmvs skill the wisdom of the suc cessful riUxji of business who knows by personal experience what has gone wrong and howvt can ba remedied. It Is no reflection llpon. any other cltl sen of Lackawanna county to say that "William Connell Is by breadth and variety of practical business experience and by long familiarity with this com munity's varied resources pre-eminently qualified to take part In this Import ant work. If others excel In special directions, surely none within the dis trict surpass him in all-round equip ment for effective labor In. the practical safeguarding of home Industries by new tariff legislation. By the election of William Connell to congress the district itself would gain, trot he. To him It would mean a personal sacrifice. Collector Ryan's utilisation of Con-' sul General Lee's name for purposes of e.f -advertisement having been duly squelched, the nation eagerly awaits General Lee's next pleasure. The renomlnatlon'of eX-Representa- tlve Coray in the Second Luserne dis trict in of course equivalent to an dec- wMcn means that it will restore position f usefulness at Harris- one of .the brightest and cleanest recent legislators. Mr. Coray is a type of the men who ought to be kept in state law-making assemblies regularly. The silver men contemplate. It seems, a new departure in American polltlcB. They propose to hold a caucus at Chi cago, prior to the assembling of the Democratic national convention, and agree If possible on one candidate, thUB averting a division of strength in con vention. The experiment is new but It looks sensible. Principles certainly ought to be superior to personal ambi tions; and Mb plan, If successful, would make them so, for the time at least. The Execution of Mero'o. It Is well known to our regular read ers that The Tribune does not believe In capital punishment. It considers unanswerable many of the arguments which may be brought against the death penalty. On moral grounds It questions the right ot the state to send an Immortal soul guilt-burdened Into eternity. On the grounds of expedi ency it falls to see wherein the scml karbarous principle of retaliation, as Illustrated by the state when It exacts life for life, can work to the ultimate Improvement of society. Statistics con vince us that It does not discourage homicidal crime. Science teaches us that it Is often a very unjust method of action, particularly when hereditary In fluences predestine some persons to crime just as they predcBtino other rersons to the pulpit, the studio or the stage. And lastly, common sense and common humanity revolt from the spectacle of legal butcheries and throw over such scenes the charitable mantle of privacy. The death penalty, however, prevails In this commonwealth and until there shall be sufficient enllghtment to ordain in its stead a wisely ordered reforma tive system, there Is left to opponents of that penalty no option but to asseut to its enforcement and to Insist that the law In relation to It shall be vigorously and manfully enforced. It, therefore, Is cause tor partial satisfaction that In Lackawanna county, after numerous failures to secure capital sentences for deliberate murderers, one of these cul prits will today dedicate to Its lawful work the first gallows in the county's history. In the case of Cresccnzo Me rolo guilt is plain and striking.. There are no extenuating circumstances. The deed for which he is today to pay with forfeit of his life was audacious, brutal and calculated. His demeanor since arrest has been that of stolid indiffer ence, tinged at times with defiant bravado. If he Is a moral pervert, there can be small loss from any standpoint in his subtraction from human society. If he is acting a brave's part, sympathy for him would be superfluous. In either or any contingency, he has come to his imminent doom after a strictly fair and impartial trial; the law of the commonwealth approves of his sen tence and consequently good citizens will readily acquiesce in his execution and hope that the Influence ot It upon the lawless element of the community will be beneficial. Before passing from this subject we deem It proper to renew our felicita tions to Sheriff Clemons because of the wholesome manner In which the ar rangements for Merolo's execu tion have been managed. Sensational ism has been repressed, mawk ishness discouraged and only the essential facts have been com municated by him to the public. The result has been that the sentimentallsm so frequently characteristic of prepara tions of this character have In this In stance been, If we may use the paradox, conspicuously absent. Thus one seri ous evil of the death penalty has been kept from outcropping into mischief and the entire community has been laid under a debt of obligation. Somebody ought to ask Orover Cleve land why if the Cubans are not bel ligerents Spain is sending so many sol diers to fight them. THE MONEY QUESTION. "The Amerlci n people hold the finan cial honor of our government as sacred as our flag and can be relied upon to guard it with the same sleepless vigil ance. They hold Its preserva tion above party fealty and have often demonstrated that party ties avail nothing when the spot less credit of our country is threatened. The money of the United States, and every kind and form of it, whether of paper, silver or cold, must be as good as the best In the world. It must not only be current at its full face value at home, but it must be counted at par in any and every commercial centre of the globe. The sagacious and far-seeing policy of the great men who founded our government, the teachings and acts of the wisest financiers at every stage in our history, the steadfast faith and splendid achievements of the great party to which we belong and the genius and Integrity of our people have ol w ays demanded this and will ever main tain, It. The dollar paid to the farmer, the wage-earner and the pensioner must continue forever equal In purchasing and debt-paying power to the dollar paid to any government creditor." Mc Kinley's Speech of Acceptance. We regret to observe symptoms of a widespread disposition to trample upon the tender little Pattlson presidential boom. The Result in Luzerne. Although he was unsuccessful in the immediate object of his ambition, ex Attorney General Palmer is to be con gratulated for having imparted to Lu serne county politics a praiseworthy impetus toward higher standards. The nomination of yesterday was effected in a decidedly more Republican manner than that of two years ago. Money played at the finish a comparatively minor part The pledge ot the candi dates not to use it for the corruption of delegates was observed with manly fidelity and the ensuing campaign will bring out the united strength of an enthusiastic jmrty. The nomination of ex-Senator Wil liams came as a natural consequence ot the unwarranted uttack recently made upon him, an attack which unfortu nately had Its strongest reinforcement in the curious course ot the leading Republican organ, which two years ago was the ex-senator's loudest supporter. Whatever chances Mr. Palmer might have had to win for congress on the merit platform It vanished the moment the Wilkes-linrre Record gave Its help to the diffusion of the idea that Mr. Williams' candidacy was relatively unfit. From that Instant sympathy massed Itself in Mr. Williams' favor, and continued to grow in volume under the Record's ludicrous attempts to qualify, evade and explain. Of the county ticket It is enough to say that it represents fair ability and prudent geographical distribution. The nomination of Colonel Scott for state senator to succeed Clarence Kline has been for some time expected, and it will prove an exceptionally popular one. Altogether, the Republicans of the mother county have emerged from their political field day with conditions that guarantee in advance a sweeping- vic tory. In the same issue of the Washington Star which gives the tragic story of the Twin shaft disaster there appears a vicious diatribe ngainst the "monopo list!!" who control the supply of anthra cite coal. Wo suppose 'the Star really believes that an Industry which writes its progress In the lite-blood of Its tollers cught alHO to sell Its limited commodity b.-lw the cost of production. It Is brave In Mr. Singerly's newspaper to undertake to convince the leuding political economists uf the world that when thty auvoeaito international bi metallism they don't know what they arc talking about But Is It also dis creet? Manley evidently thinks that for him to take an official place In the McKln ley campaign management would look like rubbing it In on Tom Reed. The Cleveland World announces ex ultantly that "an avalanche of gold Is coming." It will be welcon.e. Let it come. Pope Leo's Idea of Christian unity Is unity on a Catholic basis. We fear this will not bring evangelical consolidation about. Possibly Senator Quay doesn't want the executive committee chairmanship because he already has troubles of his own. Governor Boles should remember that the wise candidate never encourages the public statement habit. UATION.VI, AIDS TO PATRIOTISM From the Washington Star. It appears to be gradually dawning upon the people of America that they have drift -d somewhat from the old Ideas uf what constitutes a proper observance of Independence Day. There seems to be a growing desire to return to the old-fashioned ways of celebrating the birth of the Kpublic, with such modern additions as present-day skill and Inventiveness may afford. Aids to patriotism in addition to those provided by the customary tiring of explosives are demanded by a progressive sentiment. A correspondent proposes for this purpose patriotic concerts by bunds pluyiug under the orders of the author), ties, giving the people free access to good music ot u timely character and familiar izing them with the natlonul airs. He also proposes plays founded on patriotic inci dents, to be given under the auspices of tao government. These ideas are well worth considering at this end of the cen tury, when the thought of how best to ob serve the grcutest of all the national holi days Is abroad among the people. In old en times there were speeches, poems, pic nics ami barbecues, with a very few inci dental 11 reworks, designed 'to call the peo ple together and to turn their minds Into a common channel. Now these forms of celebration are practically obsolete, ex cept In certain country districts, and the holiday Is utilized by the great majority simply as an opportunity to tlee from the ordinary cares of life and from the ex plosive celebrations of the stay-at-homes. The patriotic societies form the nucleus around which a reform may be successful ly wrought. Their plans of observance are founded upon the tight spirit and per haps some duy In the near future the great awakening will come when the younger generation will learn the lesson that patriotism and rejoicing over the lib eration of the land have other symbols than the cannon cracker and the devil chaser. The boys may never love tire works lss It Is not necessary that th?y should-but they will appreciate better the more rational forms of patriotic celebra tion and reminder. AN INTERESTING COMEDY. Rochester Post-Express. There are few features In the Ameri can political campaign more Innately hu morous than the formal and solemn notl llcntion to the candidates of their nomi nation. This serious and Impressive work is Invariably done by a committee which Is eome weeks in getting around from con vention to candidate. Meanwhile the members of the committee have person ally congratulated the candidate, the town where he lives has whooped things until it seemed to be naff, loyal excur sionists have come from all parts of the country to wring the nominee's hand and hang on his hopeful words, ready letter writers have deluged him with their epis tles it Is said that McKinley gets 4,003 let ters a day office Beckers try to squeeze promises out of him, his picture aJornj half the press ot the world and his name appears In every newspaper, solids are written about him, bands serenade him, babies are named for him, and at last, after two weeks of a suspense that must be theoretically full of wonder, the honor able committee calls upon the candidate to "notify him" save the mark! of his nomination. And even then the Jest is not over; the acting has just begun: He re ceives 1hem calmly and courteously as any other callers, they discucs the weather and kindred playful topics or the candidate seems to expect to do so, until the gentlemen Immensely surprUe him by pompously revealing the news which they bear. How amazed, im pressed, and grateful he then Is; how hap pily. In a long written impromptu speech, he replies! The episode Is one of the best of our national farces. ENGLISH MISINFORMATION. From Barron's London Letter In the Chi cago Times-Herald. Representatives In America of London papers are doing their utmost to fill the English mind with the Idea that the Unit ed States Is reeking on the verge of a revolution that shall make the civil war ge?tn a, pastoral frolic by comparison. The western stales are depleted tie being ut a ;illc-li of ferocious hatred toward the east, which they threaten with de. glrtK-tion. Says one strenuous correspond ent: "When It is remembered that all these so-called western 'silver states' are self-governing, have their own armies, well e'qulpped With modern weapons, and are Inflamed with hate. It Is not difficult to grasp the serlou9 slgniileance of their threats." Hence It Is, declares this In genuous prophet of unspeakable disaster, "that so many patriotic citizens would hail with delight a war with some for. eign power;" because It would divert pub lic attention from these "Irritating" mat ters, and bind Americans together In one common cause. It Is amusingly difficult to get a reasonable appreciation of Amer. lean affairs before the judgment of the average Englishman. There is a dispo sition to believe any sensational extrava gance, while the expositions of the Inside workings of the political systems and machines by those who prof.ss to know them Intimately are often comical to a degree. None of these has been more in the vein of Mark Twain, though uneon Bclausdy so on the writer's part, than a painfully detailed recital of Mr. MeKIn ley's rise from obscurity to national emi nence wholly as "a creature of clrctim stunce." Now It would be quite Impossi ble to convince so self-sufilelent a person as an English political correspondent In America that tiie man who hews to the line for thirty years, overcoming one ob stacle after another, and making tem porary defeat his herald of victory, Is hardly a creature of circumstance. Kate hasn't played McKlnley's cardj; he has held his own hand. SIXTEEN TO ONE. The meaning of the words "16 to 1" Is defined in dollars and cents by a prom inent banking firm In Philadelphia as fol lows: "It means in practice that sixteen ounces of silver should be held as worth as much as one ounce uf gold. One ounce of gold, American coin standard of tine ness that Is, 900 parts ot pure gold to 100 of alloy, will coin In gold dollars $18.60. Six teen ounces of sliver, American coin stand ard of fineness that is, 900 parts or pure silver to loo of alloy, ut the rate of 412'j grains to the dollnr (the Weight of the present standard silver dollar) will coin Jiti.GO in sliver dollars. These sixteen ounces of silver can bo bought in the markets of the world today for J9 94. There would, therefore, be a profit of tS.OG on an Investment of $9.94, being about 87 per cent., If the holder of silver could take It to the mint and oln It without charge Into silver dollars. The advocates of free coinage, favor a law that will allow any Lulder of silver bullion, or, In fuct, silver of any kind (as the latter can readiry be melted Into bars') to have the right to take the same to any mint of the United States and convert it into silver coin free f charge."
