If Bryan Were Elected.
The conclusion of the Washington
Post, an Independent paper with ex
ceptional facilities for gaining accur
ate Inside Information, la thut unless
there can be nmiruhle fusion between
the Populists and the free silver Dcmn-
, ..crats in all the doubtful states Hryan
has absolutely no chance to win. In
nther words, unless the "regular"
Democracy Is willing to permit Itself
to be swallowed whole by the PelTers,
the Llewellyns, the Wnites and the
Tom Watsons, It must Rive up all ex
pectancy of victory. There Is no doubt
that this is a correct view of the situa
tion, and It fully Justifies the with
drawal from the liryan camp of all
Democrats who object to losing their
political Identity in a mnae of heresies
which the Democracy as an organiza
tion has hitherto opposed.
But upon what basis can fusion be
accomplished? What party to the
union will be willing to take the
shucks? Must the Democrats, who
outnumber the Populists two or three
to one, surrender to the hybrid Popu
llstlc minority the promise of the
choice pickings of the fruits of vic
tory? And should Bryan by any pos
sibility succeed In Ills campaign for
the presidency, how could he subse
quently hope to preserve harmony
among his uneven following and com
mand as president such co-operation
from congress as would bo necessary to
the success of his plans? What voter
who really admires Uryan would wish
to put him In the position of the man
in Lincoln's story who tried to ride two
horses at once and who was precipi
tated bodily Into the first mud-puddle
that caused a parting In his support?
The country during the past three
years has had a practical illustration of
. the difficulties besetting a chief execu-
tive at odds with his fcllow-parlisans
in congress. The experience both of
Sir. Cleveland and of the people gener
ally during this period of factional
warfare between the capltol and the
white house has certainly not been of
a nature to Inspire a longing for
another term of the same costly sort
of confusion. Would Mr. Bryan be In
better shape as president than Mr.
Cleveland has been? Would he, In
deed, have as steadfast a following In
any quarter as Mr. Cleveland has had
In jthe business element which ha
stojtl tiy him through good fortune and
though 111? Could he look to any ele
rfrfent for loyal support the moment the
factor of patronage entered Into the
problem? "Would not all elements soon
be arrayed In an enthusiastic warfare
upon him?
We do not concede that Mr. Bryan
has more than a remote possibility of
election. We doubt, Indeed, if he has
even that chance. But assuming for
argument's sake that it Is yet possible
for affairs to take a turn which would
bring his election within range ot the
probabilities, could any believer In free
coinage expect to secure from Bryan's
election a fair test of that economic
theory? In their impetuosity to slash
f nt the gold bugaboo, we suspect that
a good many sllverltes have not given
due consideration to these disquieting
factors In the situation. We will go
further and say that as a matter of ex
pediency alone, without reference to
the merits of the controversy, the best
test of friendship for Bryan on the
part of those who concur in his opin
ions would be to vote against him.
County Treasurer Morrison of Troy
accounts for $80,000 of his $250,000 short
age by saying he Invested it In a knit
ting mill. That Is a queer place in
which to put public funds.
Expert Testimony.
At the last annual meeting of the
American Medical association at Atlan
ta, On., a long discussion of the pro
priety of Introducing expert testimony
in criminal cases took place. Al
though various opinions were advanced
It was the general conclusion that this
feature of criminal trials had reached
the proportion of a scandal not only
upon the courts but also upon the medi
cal profession itself, Inasmuch as it
tended to transform physicians called
as expert witnesses Into- mercenaries
whose chief purpose was rather to earn
fees than further Justine. The matter
of a remedy caused the doctors widely
to disagree, but there seemed to be a
preponderance of opinion favorable to
the main Idea of a bill which was under
consideration during the last session
of the Illinois legislature.
This bill provided that the Judges of
the circuit and superior courts appoint
every year "persons who shall act as
expert witnesses in the medical and
other sciences In giving opinion upon
the evidence as presented, in a hypo
thetical form, of criminal causes that
may be on hearing in the courts pre
sided over by said Judges." These wit
nesses shall be "entered as expert wit
nesses," and when expert opinion Is re
quired the trial Jwdge may select three
of them to give testimony. They shall
be subject to cross-examination, "but
such cross-examination shall be limited
entirely to the subjects embraced in
their opinion." This last clause was
Inserted, It is explained, for the pur
pose of protecting such witnesses from
the lawyer whose sole purpose Is to
confuse them and turn the minds of
the Jury against their accuracy.
The point to this proposition obvious
ly Is that It Insures expert evidence
entirely uninfluenced by the Instinctive
bias which Is Imparted when one or
the other side In a case at trial supplies
the retainer. In other words, the ex
pert, like the judge and jury, becomes
a servant of the public and owes his fee
as well as his duty to society at large.
In many eases there would be no need
to be so particular on this point. There
are many eminent physicians who
would not consent to appear on the wit
ness stand under circumstances which
might cause their testimony to operate
as a shield for crime. But not all ex
perts are so scrupulous, nor Is every
physician, even when thoroughly hon
est In his Intentions, so well-poised In
his scientific opinions as to be able to
testify In the Interest of abstrnct truth.
The Illinois bill would seem to the lay
mind to Involve a good principle. The
subject Is one which might well engage
attention In Pennsylvania.
In 1S02 while a member of congress,
Mr. Bryan denied that protection would
start tin-plate mills. In four years,
under the stimulus of the McKinley
bill, the tin plate produced In this coun
try amounted, to 350.000 tons, worth
$35,000,000. So much for Mr. Bryan's
ability as a prophet. This year, In
stead of preaching free trade as a cure
for all disorders, he advocates free sil
ver. Docs his record us a statesman
Indicate thut lie is to be trusted?
The Pardoning Power.
Some expressions of criticism have
been made since Governor Hustings
approved the pardon board's recom
mendation of clemency for John Bnrds
ley, whom close confinement was kill
ing. Most of these have come from
sources that would have been equally
prompt with fuult-flnding hud the ex
ecutive of the commonwealth pursued
the opposite course. In other words,
they deserve no consideration, being
merely factional barking. But where
this feeling of dissatisfaction is honest
and genuine, the fact should be under
stood that the governor merely follow
ed precedent. As the n ilkes-Harro
Record points out In the course of un
Interesting discussion of the pardon
ing power:
The constitutional convention of Ib"',
recognizing the fact thut the pardoning
power had boon shnmef uily abused by
some governors when that power was
vested In the executive exclusively, cre
ated the board of purdons In order that
this delicate authority might be to uomj
extent divided, or placed In the hamls
of u number of men. The change hus not
been productive of the expected reform.
There can bo no denying the fact thut the
pardoning power has been more abused
since the board was created than before.
This Is due not so much to the system as
to the manner in which the board is con
stituted, vis.: of state oflicittls who In near,
ly every Instance are mere politicians look
ing for some higher oflh es than the ow a
they are holding. Governor Hast
Ings hus followed the precedents of his
predecessors and up to this time has acted
upon the recommendation of the board
In every instance. This Is no excuse for
him, to be sure, If pardons have been
granted that should have been refused,
but should all the censure be visited upon
the governor, und none upon the board
of pardons? The refusal of the governor
to act upon u recommendation Is a sting
ing rebuke upon the members of the pur
donlng board, und almost any governor
would do tills very reluctantly, especially
when half of the members are his own
appointees. As we have said, the board
Is wrongly constituted. Instead of beinjr
composed of men holding purely political
ofllees It should be constituted of eminent
men In private life who have no political
axes to grind, and are free from mere
partisan Influences such as constantly
surround state officials.
A pardon board, composed of two,
four or six retired judges equally di
vided between the parties and requir
ing a recommendation' to be unanimous
before becoming effective would clearly
work to the betterment of justice
In this state. It will probably be sever
al years before the opportunity will
come to correct defects In the present
constitution, but In the meantime pub
lic censure before directing Itself ex
clusively against the governor, should
bear In mind that the board of pardons
as now constituted is the oiiglnnl of
fender when improper recommenda
tions are made and that gubernatorial
acquiescence Is all but imperative un
der the peculiar circumstances of the
board's composition.
From the looks of things it wouldn't
surprise US If the next Pennsvlvnnln
delegation at Washington were solidly
.Republican. It ought to be.
Concerning Abuse.
It has been left to the Detroit Tribune
to perpetrate this bit of humor:
The remarkable thing In this campaign
Is the entire change of characteristics of
the two parties. The uristocrutlc party,
comprising the wealth and culture of the
two old parties, hus udopted violent and
anarchical methods while the unwashed
proletariat Is exhibiting a moderation and
calmness most commendable. All the bit
terness and abuse emnnnton fmm ih. tr,.i,i
side, while the sllverltes content them
selves witn culm, intelligent discussion.
If it were worth while to take this
bit of flapdoodle seriously, we rouhl
make up an Interesting reply from the
columns of the free silver press; and
especially from the columns of the
amusing Times of this city columns
thnt have hurtled and sizzled dining
the past few weeks with scorching and
scathing denunciations of the "blouted
bondholders," "the Shylocks," the
"Benedict Arnolds" and the "pluto
crats" who are supposed to exist with
in the sound money camp. We might
even repeat a few lurid sentences from
Brother Merrllleld's letter of accept
ance, In which lie larruped the "gold
bugs" In quite Bryanesque fashion. But
what's the use? This is only campaign
thunder. It Is simply on a par with
the rattling of the suspended sheet Iron
and the flare of the calcium light In the
theater when the heavy villain makes
his dramatic appearance. It tickles
the cods in the galleries and doesn't
scare the grown folks in the pit. It Is
a part of the regular "business" of the
profession, and without it the show
would be stale and flat.
As a matter of fact, there has been a
good deal ot political barnstorming on
both sides rather more, in fact, than
the situation really called for, even
from the standpoint of those who like
excitement. The question at Issue is
one of serious and sober Import. vThe
most Impersonal discussion cannot
make It any too plain to the average
voter; and from all those arguments
which have come directly from national
headquarters the authorized litera
ture and the responsible oratory having
for its purpose the elucidation of the
sound money side of the controversy
the element of buffoonery has been pro
perly eliminated. It Isn't always possi
ble to keep every writer or speaker
down to a common sense level. But we
guess that McKinley 's speeches will
compare favorably with Bryan's and
that there has been as little abuse In
The Scranton Tribune as there ha9
been in the Scranton Times If not less.
The Harrlsburg Patriot objects to
General Hastings making campaign
speeches while governor. But did It
ever hear of a governor that didn't?
A Natural Consequence.
Mayor Plngree, of Detroit, before his
nomination as the Republican candl
date for governor of Michigan, was
generally believed to entertain views
strongly favorable to silver, but In his
letter of acceptance he plants himself
squarely on the St. Louis platform and
admits that the rehabilitation of the
white metal, If It Is ever to be brought
about, can be attempted with safety
only by international concert of action,
No doubt opposition will credit this ad
mission to political exigency; but In
the case of Mr. Plngree there would
be little if any necessity for such a con
sideration to govern his utterance. His
election was assured no matter what
his opinions were concerning the flnan
clal problem. His strength before the
people consists largely in his frankness,
Ills accc-ptance of the St. Louis plank
is undoubtedly genuine, and would
have occurred Just the same had he
not been a candidate for office.
The fact is that this gradual modifl
cation of Muyor Pingree's views as to
the expediency of attempting In this
country alone to do more for silver
thun has already been done for It by
means of generous but still limited
coinage on n gold basis Is a logical re
sult of more thorough study of the
question under the stimulus of an ex
citing political campaign bused on this
Issue. Since the question has been
brought prominently forward and has
received the special attention of In
telligent people, many new dimculties
have been discovered in the way of a
further coinage of silver Independent
of mi International agreement. It hus
clearly been demonstrated that legis
lation to this end, whatever Its tiltimute
result, would have the immediate ef
fect to produce a panic of ruinous pro
portions among our business men; and
after three years of practical exper
ience with needless panics the public
mind Is beginning at lust to realize that
the taking of political chances on busi
ness convulsions Is not exactly the
policy that produces the most welcome
results.
In other words, while the attempt to
do more for silver nt Washington than
has yet been done would be a hazard
ous undertaking under the most favor
able conditions, under present condi
tions, with every influential business
man arrayed against it, it would be lit
tle short of suicidal. It is an experi
ment of doubtful Issue under the best
of circumstances; under the worst, it
would be an inexcusable blunder If not.
Indeed, a political crime. A general
recognition of this fact has been forced
upon those persons who In the more
tranquil time prior to the active dis
cussion of this problem were Inclined
to believe that the risks Were fewer
than the probable benefits. We suspect
that Mayor Plngree has simply opened
his eyes to the truth as it has evolved
from the friction of economic argu
ment; and there are thousands like
him.
When the regularly constituted party
convention has properly and fairly made
Its nominations it is time for party dif
ferences to cease. The man who submits
his name for nomination certainly recog
nizes Its authority to determine whom the
party nominee shall be, und the slircere
Republican who does this will support
the fairly nominated candidate of that
convention. He will not aid the common
enemy to distract the party at a time
when the most Impressive questions com
mand the thoughtful attention of honest
and earnest citizens. Philadelphia Press.
These remarks thoroughly cover
the situation In Philadelphia. They
are also worthy to be memorized for
future reference generally.
R. H. Kleinschmldt, a Helena, Mont.,
banker, offers if Bryan is elected to
buy $100,000 worth of sliver paying for
it, in gold coin, $1.10 an ounce. This
offer is Bafe enough, since Bryan
doesn't stand the ghost of a chance of
being elected, but even if his chances
of election were good,. It wouldn't sig
nify anything.
Many Scrantonians are already talk
ing of going to Canton next Friday.
The trip will certainly be delightful
and the fare charged puts It within the
reach of all. Even our Democratic
friends ought to step over the party
line for once and put themselves In
the way of hearing an authoritative ex
position ot the true faith.
With McKlnley's election now prac
tically assured, the live business men
of Scranton ought to get ready for the
Inevitable revival; In other words, they
ought to Increase their advertising in
The Tribune,
In corroboration of Weyler's boast
that he has the Cuban rebels whipped
comes the news that ho Is soon to get
a large Instalment of re-lnforcements.
When Mr. Bryan Is not talking poli
tico his remarks are almost Invariably
Interesting. Why dues ho waste his
talent on so stupid a cause?
Triie Condition of
Mexican Labor
t
From the Times-Herald.
While goltl and sliver partisans are send
ing from -Mexico letters thut purport to Be
faithful pictures of Industrial conditions
that prevail In the land of the Montesu
nius, it Is grutifying tq turn from their
more or leas colored Impressions to such a
letter as llliam H. Sloun, a missionary,
writes to the Examiner, the Baptist pub
lication in New York. Mr. Sloan s obser
vatlons are absolutely free from potiil.nl
tuaa. and as they are written in the In,
terest of no party, but for the information
of the great religious denomination which
he represents, they are entitled to great
weight.
Mr. Sloan introduces his letU. with a
graphic description of tho wonderful nat,
ural resources and Industrial possibilities
of the country. The lund possesses Inex
huustlblo mineral wealth, and is rich in
an agriculture that neither recognizes the
change of the seasons nor requires the
stimulating uld ot fertilizers or other sci
entific uppllunces to enable It to bring
forth bountiful crops. Says Mr. Sloan
"Here are mountains of mineral, practic
ally untouched, und millions of acres of
fertile lund untitled. Still, It Is no place
for u laboring man, nor for a young man
on a salary (unless It be ussured to him
before he comes), but It Is the pluee for
the man who has capital, und Is seeking
for Investments, hoping to Increase his
capital by tuklng advantage of the cheap
labor of the country, for the day laborer
must toil tor a pittance that almost merits
the appellation of starvation wages."
Mr. Sloan then shows thut the prosper,
lty of Mexico during the lust twenty years
Is not due to a silver standard currency
but to the great influx of English and
American capital which has taken ad
vantage of the cheap labor to build rail
roads, cultivate stigur, cotton, tobacco,
vanilla, hennepln and other products, and
to develop the mines. "Tho vast produc
tion of silver," says Mr. Sloan, "seems in
no way to old the laboring mun, for his
wages remain substantially the same, not
withstanding tho large Influx of new
capital." The .Mexican dollar is worth
about 51 cents in American money, tl
though it has more silver In it than the
American dollar has. Tho cheapness in
silver, says Mr. Sloan. Is due to its enor
mous production. Immense quantities are
brought out of the Mexican mines to ba
coined, the owner paying ubout 4 cents 'or
the colnuge of each dollur, und of courso
pro!) ting by the added value supposed to
be placed on It by the government stamp.
The dally wages of a skilled mechanic,
says Mr. Sloan, Is about $1, or 51 vents in
American money. I'nder favorable cir
cumstances he may get tl.Xi, and there
are few In government shops and In tho
ruilwuy service who get $1.50 or about 77
cents In gold. The large majority of Mex
leun blacksmiths, curpenters and other ar
tisans receive only 75 cents per duy, or 89
cents eueh In American money. A police
man gets 51 cents per day in American
money, a common laborer from 18 to 'Jtt
cents. Postal carriers get from $ii to $15
pi r month. Clerks receive from $i to $12
per month. House rent for the poorest
b. borer Is $1.50 to $:! a month in gold, but
he must live on beans and corn cakes,
often without a table to eut from, with no
bed for himself or family except a mat on
the floor, and with no furniture except a
box that serves as a trunk. "The state
ments that are being published us to Ilia
Mexican laborer building himself a
home," says Mr. Sloun, ' you muy set down
as unmitigated bosh. '
Mr. Sloan does not write as a theorist
or us a purtisan. He will not be In this
country to vote In November. He Is en.

From the Curbondule Leader.
The necessity for returning n Republi
can to congress from this district, is dully
becoming more apparent, and it Is grati
fying to note that this fact is being gen
erally recognized. The Interest of tho
common voters, laboring men and trades,
men are paramount in this campaign. To
restore prosperity and conlldenee we must
secure itepubllcun representation In con
gress. Whatever else the electors of this
section mny differ upon, they are a prac
tical unanimity for protection, and it is
Important to them that they should bo
represented at Washington by a man who
Is not only sound on the question cf
finances but will voice their sentiments
for the restoration of the American policy
of protection to labor and Industry.
This district cannot afford to take
chances and it Is the duty of every citi
zen to exert himself for the election of
tho Republican nominee. This means
more than a party victory. The interests
of the entire district are Involved. The
people should speak In trumpet tones at the
November polls, and by united effort show
that they want the protective policy re
stored rather than the elevation of any
Individual man.
William Conncll, the Republican can
didate from this district, deserves well cf
the voters of the district. No single man
has done so much to give employment to
labor, or been more generous to charities
of all denominations, or contributed with
more regularity and cheerfulness to the
promotion of the protective policy. Su
perior ability and hard application have
won for him a liberal competence of this
world's goods, but unlike many others he
has not forgotten his stewardship, and the
people of his district, particularly of his
home city, have shared generously In his
weulth and profited by his work and In
fluence. It Is safe to predict that at Vi asti-
Ington the same policy that has marked
his energetic and successful business life
will be carried Into his work for the peo
ple who send him there as their represen
tative. AN AMENDMENT.

GOLDSMITH'S
Of Interest to Every Lady
IN LACKAWANNA COUNTY, AND
To Dressmakers Especially
We are offering a publication to our friends, which it will not be out of place to
state that it is the most unique work ot its kind ever issued in America, mainly for one
reason, "that it gives American ladies, for the first time, a knowledge of coming European
fashions in advance of the season."
The great costumers or modellers of Europe have heretofore never been willing to
display their comiug designs of fashion before the shipment of their models, May 8th for
the spring, and September Sth for the autumn. This, of course, has always precluded the
possibility of our being in the same season. The magazines there and here have endeav
ored to divine the coming costumes of the great masters of fashion, but the latter (the mod
elers) have always iealously guarded their designs, and consequently the magazines have
had to depend almost entirely upon guesswork.
In consequence, last year a syndicate of the greatest dry goods houses of America
sent a representative to Europe to remedy this trouble. A small fortune was applied, and,
to be brief, this is the result
The color process applied in these pages is the first successful work of its kind
known, and the book speaks for itself.
The contributors to the work are almost all court costumers, and each illustration
is authenticated by the house from which it emanates.
In conclusion, we trust that our friends will appreciate our efforts in securing the
rights for this great publication, which will appear each year, April and September, for
the spring and autumn respectively.
This work will be on sale at Trimming Counter at only
10 CENTS PER COPY.
