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."
