Pick Out a Fit nan.
An eloquent argument Is made In tho
Philadelphia Press for tho election of a
Phlladelphlan to the seat about to be
vacated by Senator Cameron, In addi
tion to pointing out the fact that Phila
delphia has not in 63 years been repre
sented by one of Its citizens in the na
tional senate, the Press suggestively
adds: ,
There Is a valid and substantial reason
underlying this claim. The chief city of a
State Is the focus of its commercial and
Industrial life. Its currents radiate
through the state, and the interests pf
the Btate center In Its activities. It hn
its own energies and It draws to itself
the energies of the commonwealth. No
man can make u good senator for Phila
delphia without making a good senator
for the stute. The movement for the elec
tion of a 1'hlludelphlau of high ability,
character and standing should thus enlist
the earnest xeal of our own citizens nnd
secure the approval and support of all
Pennsylvania ns. We ought to have a
strong, vigorous, weighty, influential rep.
resentative. He should be familiar with
practical affairs, thoroughly acquainted
with the great business, commercial and
Industrial interests of tlLi city and the
state, nnd capable of serving them ef
fectually and successfully. He should
command the full confidence of the peo
ple, and 'be competent to represent their
will In committee and on the floor.
It Is only fair to say that this state
ment of the situation admits of little
dispute. But it is equally true that tho
Republicans of Philadelphia have not
yet manifested a disposition to prove,
ns the Press soys, "worthy of the oppor
tunity by presenting a candidate who
shall be worthy of the senatorshp."
At the present time only two Phlladel
Phlnns are in the field as active aspir
ants for the honor. One of these, State
Senator Penrose, was recently deemed
by his fellow-clttzens of Republican
faith unworthy to be mayor ot his na
tive city and can therefore hardly ex
pect to be presented by them for a
much higher honor. The other candi
date, ex-Postmaster General Wana
maker, is unquestionably of larger cal
1 iber, yet if he were not rich himself
and backed by a combination of Im
mensely richer corporate Influences, it
la morally certain that his candidacy
would not command a single vote. Great
as Is the power of money In procuring
access to the American senate, a state
like Pennsylvania ought to set the good
example of establishing the infinitely
higher test of merit.
It merit were the test, instead of pull
or cash, can any one doubt whom Phil-
,, adelphla would present as Its unani
mous choice? The editor of the Press
will pardon us for suggesting that un
til the city of Brotherly Love shall of
fer a candidate like Hon. Charles Emory
Smith It need not expect to have a
clear pathway to representation In the
upper branch ot congress.
We will wager a pippin that General
Harrison's Carnegie hall speech will
win votes.
In our judgment the most thorough
reply yet made to Bryan's Madison
8quar Garden speech Is that by Pro
feasor George Gunton, of Kew York
city, which we republish in this Issue.
We recommend all persons who are in
doubt on this money question to read
with care Professor Gunton's argu
ment It is not long but it is chock full
of strong points. By all means read It.
"I do not know what you think
about it, but I believe that it is a
good deal better to open the
mills of the United States to the
labor of America than to open np
the mints of the t'nitcd States
to the silver of the world.'
WILLIAM M'KINLEY.
Generalissimo Garman has already
begun to Issue earnest calls, but the vol
unteers don't appear to be in frantic
eagerness to respond to them.

We Invite a careful rending of the
foregoing table and make this volun
tary offer: If any advocate of free sli
ver can point us to a single silver
standard country where similar pro
gress has been made In an equal period
of time, we will at once pull down the
Republican ticket which heads this
page and substitute In Its place the
names of Bryan and Sewall.
"The trouble la that we have lost the
foreign markets," says Senator Bur
rows, "and the foreigners have cap
tured ourB." And thls.not by the "crime
of 1873" but by the stupidity of 1892.
The American Volunteer novement
The American Volunteer movement
has now passed the experimental stage
and has become an obvious fixture in
religious work. It has been shown con
clusively that there Is an ample field
for It, which can; be occupied without
detriment to any other agency for
human betterment. In our own com
munity It has grown steadily, both In
numbers and usefulness; but the op
portunities for its beneficent Increase
are such as to make highly desirable
a . larger measure of substantial co
operation on the part of the public
spirited citizens of Scran ton than has
hitherto been forthcoming.
Preparations are being comf ft
an important mass meeting at the Lin
den street tent tomorrow. Colonel
Pottle Watkins, of New Tork. whom
all Sjcrantonians know and esteem, will
be present and conduct the services.
It is her desire, as well as the wish ot
those In local command of the Volun
teer work, that an attendance of repre
sentative citizens will signalize the oc
casion and contribute to its success.
Of the merits of the movement bo much
has been said that repetition would be
useless. But any who may not be fully
Informed as to the details should gain
a knowledge of them by hearing Colonel
Watkins.
The words of Lincoln, so aptly quoted
by McKInley, are rich with Instruction
for all time: "That some should be rich
shows that others may become rich,
and hence Is Just encouragement to In
dustry and enterprise. Let no man who
Is homeless pull down the house of an
other but let him work diligently nnd
build one for himself, thus, by example,
assuring that his own shall be sate
from violence when built."
Whenever the sliver kings will agree
to pay a silver dollar for 53 cents'
worth of value It will be time to talk
of giving them a dollar for 53 cents'
worth of silver. Until then the best
plan Is to keep the currency honest.
It Is, of course, still a trifle early to
make definite predictions; but It Is a
coincidence worth' noting that there Is
no longer any serious expectation that
Bryan will win. HU chances are the
reverse of 10 to 1.
It Is a good thing that the political
morals of ex-Congressman Breckin
ridge of Kentucky are better than his
personal ones. Still, we don't think he
adds much to the cause of sound
money.
An honobt and equitable assessment
of property In this city Would give It
all the revenue It needs without Increase
of the rate. Such an assessment will
have to come, some day.
You can't get around the fact that
stamping 53 cents' worth of silver bul
lion as legal tender for one dollar of
debt Is essentially dishoneat.
Senator Hill's predicament Is no
doubt very sad; but it is only one of
the logical penalties of a failure to have
definite convictions.
The dollar cannot be too good for the
man who has to enrn It by hard work.
IN A INUT SHELL.
From the Lumber Trado Journal.
To a man who has no money there aro
several ways to set It, namely:
(a) Peg it.
(I)) Steal It.
() Borrow It.
(il) Secure It by gift.
(el Trade something for it.
If we arc to beg It we might Just as well
do the best we cnii. Therefore, a dollar
based on a bold standard is better than
a 16 to 1 sliver dollar, which today is
worth about 53 cents intrlslenlly.
If wo nro to steal it wo want' the 4iest.
A thief who would stenl n sliver dollar In
preference to a gold dollar would be ac
quitted on the ground that he was Insane.
If we borrow It we want that kind ot
money which will go farthest, for so wo
can get along with a smaller loan. There
fore a gold dollar Is better to borrow
than a 16 to 1 sliver dollar.
If we arc to secure it by gift certainly
we should not depreciate that which we
are about to receive.
This brings u to (e) which Is the way
most money Is obtained. A pertinent ques
tion for each of us to ask at this time is,
What have 1 got to trado for money which
I want7 It may be labor, It may bo a
horse or cow. It may 'he lumber or shin
gle. It may bo a sawmill. At tho present
time we can traile any of tho above and
pet a gold dollar for every dollar's worth
of value ns may bo ngreed upon between
buyer nnd seller. We enn get a dollar
which Is worth a dollar anywhere and
everywhere.
Now your labor or horse or cow or lum
ber or machinery will be worth just as
much, next year as it Is this, but If we
have free coinage at 16 to I will the dol
lar which you git In trado bo worth as
much ns the dollar you can get now?
What will thnt be worth? Can you tell?
It may be worth 53 cents or more or less;
one day this, ono dny that, but can nny
one tell? These are nil pertinent question,
and, when carefully considered, must
guide us In voting at the next election in
November, end do not lose sight of tho
fact that if nil the silver In the world Is
coined Into money you cannot get a cent
of It except by a, b, c, d or - above re
ferred to.

or any other country ever nuarn a mui.
eloquent, more forceful, more perfect po
litical oration than that which poured
from the Hps of this Irish-American In a
sweeping. Incessant, irresistible torrent.
It was a greater speech than that which
he delivered In tho wigwam at Chicago
four years ago In protest against the nom
ination of Mr. Cleveland. It was greater
because it had more patriotism in it, more
thought, more heart. Four years ago Mr.
Cockran was a whirlwind ot Invective and
denunciation. He was bitterness Itself. To
night he appealed to reason. With a theme
of wide Interest and vast Importance, with
the fate of the nation perhaps hanging in
the balance, with 20,000 people eager lo
hear and to encourage the orator had in
spiration and opportunity such as come to
few public men.
11 11 11 ,
He nobly rose to tho occasion. Ha sur.
passed all expectations, even of those who
knew of his power. At Washington Mr.
Cockran, w,ho but a few years ago was lit-
tie better than a waif In the streets, is
now counted the tlrst debater In congress.
Even Speaker Reed must give way In aJI-
round ability.Mr. Cockran has everything
that an orntor should have. His face, now
smooth shaven, is that of an Irishman of
genius. HU mouth Is the mouth of nn
actor, of a comedlnn, of an orator rolled
In one. He has the presence, bearing, and
voice of a commanding public speaker.
His diction is well-night perfect. He Is a
natural elocutionist. His rhetoric, his
phrasing, 'his construction of epigrams,
are inllnltely superior to Mr. Bryan's nnd
almost equal to Speaker Reed's. He has
wit, satire, humor, repartee as quick as
lightning's flash. In hl effort tonight
he used all his art, called forth all his
powers, and the result was a speech which
will live long In the annals of American
politics.
Mr. Cockran set out to answer Nominee
Brynn, and the Judgment of tho country
will doubtless be that he succeeded not
only In doing that but In demolishing him.
Nothing more Incisive or conclusive has
been seen in all the silver dfscusslon than
Mr. Cockran's expose of tho fallacies of
Mr. Bryan's statement of the silver side
of the question. Though he spoke without
manuscript or notes, and though he was
often diverted from the prepared anil
memorised text by his fondness for an
swering questions howled at blm from tne
A audience, It Is a speech which will read as
well and as smoothly as Mr. Bryan's la
bored essay. But the reader who takes
l Mr Cockran's argument In type wljl not
be able to conceive the effect produced by
the manner in which these arguments
were burled at the great audience tonight.
They came In fast flowing floods of words
of ever-Increasing rapidity and force
fulness, In torrents which grew and accu
mulated till they swept everything before
them and Btirred the great concourse of
people to unexampled enthusiasm.
THE FIGHT IX THIS STATE.
Concerning the campaign In Pennsyl
vania Chairman Elkln says: "The issues
are the most Important that have engaged
the attention of American people since
the breaking down of the old party lines
In I860. Many of our voters do not fully
appreciate tho importance of waging an
aggressive campaign In Pennsylvania.
Our citizens are moved by the same mo
tives, fears and prejudices that are com
mon to tho citizens of other states. It re
quires an active campaign to educate the
great mass of voters on the Issues which
divide the political pa "ties at the present
time In Pennsylvania Just as much as in
the other states of the Union.
"Inasmuch es vc are looked on as a
safely Republican state, It is often thought
that active campaign work is not neces
sary. No greater mistake could be mane.
All Pennsylvnnians are proud of the posi
tion our state has occupied in the polit
ical history of this country. In order to
maintain our present position It Is neces
sary to complete an effective organisa
tion in every part of the str.tc. While It is
nli right and very desirable that the na
tional committee should be aided in every
way possible yet I nm strongly Impressed
with the Idea that our own state should
not be neglected.
"The work already done by tho state
committee has a very telling effect. Ad
vices from every part of the state Indicate
that the sliver craze has reached its high
water mark and is rapidly receding at tho
present time. The people are beginning to
realize that It is Impossible to get some
thing for nothing even under the seductive
promises of free coinage legislation. These
cure all' schemes are short lived and so
will he the fallacies of the Populists. The
prynn people have no hope of doing nny.
tiling In Pennsylvania on the state ticket
but they will dlrort nil their efforts to tho
election of as many congressmen ns possi
ble In close districts. Our committee has
already received many advices from con
gressional districts In tho slate which are
conslderd close where an nctlve effort is
being made to elect free sliver congress
men. I consider It highly Important that
Pennsylvania should return ns many
sound money congressmen as is within
the rango of possibility. Our every inter
est Is Identified with sound financial leg
islation." OX THE IIIIJIIT SIDE.
From the Globe-Democrat.
It is a fact worth noting thnt the re
ligious papers of the rountry ore unani
mously opposed to the Chicago platform.
The explanation lies, of course, In their
obligation to be on the rlht side of moral
questions.
Virgo begins today. August 22, nnd con
tinues until September 23. Children born
between these dates belong to the solar
plexus of the grand body, which controls
tho digestive forces. They are natural
students of the laws of health, being true
children of nature. They have great en
durance nnd their eyes aro keen and dis
criminating, -and in literary work they
often excel. Their sense of feeling Is
acme and they cannot bear the least pain
or hurt. These persons have an extreme
ly strong love nature, but have great pow
er of self control. As a rule there are no
women so truly devoted as those born
under the sign of Virgo.
Of tho children of Virgo the ancient as
trologers speak as follows; "So likewise,
a mnn born when the sun Is In Virgo doth
make him fortunate especially in house
hold affairs; witty, true, stout nnd ambi
tious. Moreover ho shall be so given to
boasting nnd babbling thnt he cannot hide
and keep close his own secrets; he will be
fair of face nnd comely-bodied; n lover of
woman nnd delighting to be in the fnvor
of great men nnd princes. A maid born
when the sun is In Virgo shall be witty,
honest and shame-faced, well-meaning,
circumspect; but soon nngry. She shall
marry about the age or sixteen years."
Persons born under tho sign of Virgo
should never take strong doses of emetic
or cathartic medicine. They should avoid
nil exciting scenes and conditions.
