Democracy's Local Plan.
As the local cumpaiun approaches
Its close the opposition is seen to be
toncent rutins Its energies upon thecourt
bouse. Its hope being to gain control
of the commissioner' office, which in
Democratic hands would be a choice nd
dition to the city otllces now controlled
by the party. A short time ago It looked
ns if the cuuipuisn of Messrs. Burke
and Demuth would become simply a
case of "plumpine" each at the other's
expense for the posKlon of minority
member; but In the meantime the two
Democratic candidates appear to.huve
come together und mapped out a fight
to l:o made side by side and Ir. conse
quence it behooves Republicans to be
on their stiiiril.
A part of trie Demwifltlc plan of cam
pnili'ri, l. ! undeihtood, is to load lip
the Lienioc;ntlr newspapers with a lot
of confus'f.s ligurci calculated to Im
ply oarelopsiiea !n the Jlppuliliemi
nisi Jot P.y's matin fre'nent of the oflice,
and to try thereby to scare voters into
putting a Democratic majority on the
next liour.1. The figures themselves are
without sigriltlcnr.ee since every record
shows the strictest economy In the dis
bursement of county funds. As was
explained In detail In these columns
n few days ago, despite larp recent
increases in court, costs, over which the
commissioner have no power of es
tuppal. and other enlarged demands
upon the county treasury for new elec
tion fixtures, schooi enumeration, brid
ges and Jail repairs, the tux rate for
county purposes hus been kept down
to an average of six mills on the dollar,
und within a short time jyt.OOO worth
of outstanding bonds will be retired
from the sinklnt' fund. This Is a suf
ficient answer to ull linpuiatloris of
lax management and it is a record sur
passed by no other county in the state
with like population.
lint a little thing like the truth will
not stand In the way of the managers
of the opposition campaign. They see
a possibility of pub' If ofttce ahead, with
influential appurtenances, and they will
do anything and everything to realize
on that hope We eaP attention to this
fact so that Republicans throughout
the county may understand what is
going on behind the silence which
outwardly mask.s the 'Democratic can
vass. Mess:?. S. W. and Giles Roberts
have proved their fitness for vheir
present position:) und every Republican
should see thai they are both tri
umphantly ro-elected. It Would be a
mistake to let the Democrats get hold
of the county tiriunees as well as the
city government, all In one yenr, and
the defeat, of either of the Robertses'
would accomplish that purpose.
A good campaign cry for Alex Con
null's friends In the Second district
would be: "One good term deserves
another." His re-election would be
money In the district's pocket.
Three Week Before.
At the Chicago sound money parade
last Friday night there were, by actual
count, 68,307 persons In line, besides an
audience of spectators estimated at
800,000. The Bryan counter demonstra
tion had Just 12.DB9 persons In line and
the speechmaklng la reported to have
excited little enthusiasm. Tha Chicago
Times-Herald, although an enthusias
tic MoKlnley paper, is generally con
servative In Its election pr"'llcvr,s,
and It says every Indication point to a
victory for the Republican electoral
ticket In Illinois ly not less than 1f.O
000 plurality. It even claims the iWeat
of Altgeld. who Is cbriFldpred to be
many thousand votes stronger than
Bryan.
As tending to confirm the Impression
that the Bryunltes do rot expect to
carry Illinois for their electoral ticket,
It may he worth while In this connec
tion to note that In a Bryan tahle just
given to the newspapers by Senator
Marlon Butler, chairman of the Popu
list national committee, Indiana Is In
cluded anionic the states marked "rea
sonably safe- for Bryan, .while Illinois
Is not. Senator Butler's table gives
Bryan only 232 electoral 'votes, so that
the loss by him of Indiana alone would
elect Mckinley.-. No one conversant
with the political conditions In Indiana
will seriously maintain that McKlnley
' does not have at least as good-'a chance
to carry that state as Bryan has. With
in the .past six year 20 000 artlsani
have located In Indiana, attracted by,
the starting of factories Incidental to
the discovery of natural gas in the
northeastern section of the state. These
industries have been severely depressed
by the Wilson tariff law, and in conse
quence fhe employes in them are high
Protectionists almost to a man. They
would vote for McKlnley if they never
voted another Republican ballot. Gen
eral Harrison's influence, too, Is a
potent factor, and he Is soon to make a
tour of the state, speaking for McKln
ley. While we consider the presidential
battle a close one In the sense that
every Republican will be needed at the
polls, yet these and other Indications
which are apparent to every Btudent of
politics go to show that Republicans
may well be hopeful as tb the outcome.
Indiana and Illinois, If carried for Bry
an, would probably elect him; but there
Is no good reason for the supposition
that either state will be carried by him.
In both states the sound money forces
arc well-organized, confident, alert and
determined, while the opposition lacks
cohesion. It is like a contest between
trained regulars and raw recruits. The
recruits ure going to get the worst of It.
Lord Rosebury defines his plan for
the solution of the Armenian question
to be the negotiation of a united de
mand by European nations upon the
sultan fnr reforms. But what If such
a demand were granted In the letter
only to be broken In the spirit? Has
a nation like England no moral duties
except through international compuct?
If the other powers pluy the coward
must Engiund be one, too?
Archbishop Ireland's Statement.
The statement recently given to the
press by Archbishop Ireland will 'un
doubtedly receive even from support
ers of the Chicago platform respect
ful consideration. It cannot be churged
of this eminent churchman ns has
been churged of some others who have
publicly espoused Major Mi Klnley's
cause that his favor has been won by
agents of Mark llunna for a considera
tion. No nmii Ktaruls higher for in
tegrity, for honor and for civic virtue
than John Ireland. Although he speaks
only ns a citizen, his word will carry
great weight. Says he:
I stand by the platform, and the pres
ent candidate of the Republican conven
tion, 1 am opposed to the platform and
the presidential candidate ot the Demo
cratic convention at t'hicago. The day of
the civil war excepted, at no time did so
great a peril threaten the country as that
which Is involved in the political eum
pulgn of today. The question of free and
unlimited coinage of silver is put in the
foreground. Tile question has its Impor
tance: but. It Is of a minor Importance in
the presence of other questions which are
brought Into the movement which had
its expression in the Chicago convention,
mid which now seeks by means of popular
suffrage to enthrone itself in the capital
of tno nation. This movement is in Its
logical efle.-is revolutionary against the
I r.lted Status: if. is secession the seces
sion ot H'!l, which our soldier believed
tney had consigned to eternal death at
Appomnttov. but which demands attain
reeogiiltloii from the American people.
The declaration In the Chicago platform
has and can have r.o other meaning: "We
denounce arbitrary interference by fed
cioj au'.liO'lttes in local affairs as a viola
tion, of thr constitution of the Vnlted
Stutis and a crime against free intuitu.
Hons."
The wonls, poln!. to the act of Urover
Cleveland In sending United States troops
to protect national property and enforce
national laws during the Chicago riots in
IS'.if. In those words there is tho old se
cession doctrine that states are Independ
ent of the national government at Wash
ington. There is the annulment of tho
Vnlon: there la notice, served upon the
flag of America that outside the district
of Columbia it Is without power of self
ussertloii or self defence. The president
of tho United States Is told thut to en
force national laws and protect national
property he cannot march his troops into
any state without the authorization of the
government of that state. The platform
of tbt Chicago convention threatens tho
country with destruction of social order,
with lawlessness and anarchy. The per
sonitlcation of the law and of social order
in America, is in our courts and tho prom
ise of safety to our free Institutions is
the prompt obedience to those courts, and
now the courts are to be shorn of their
power and shorn of it In favor of mobs,
bent on rioting and the destruction of
property.
Worse to my mind than all this is the
spirit of socialism that permeates tho
whole movement which has issued from
the convention at Chicago. It is the "In
ternational" of Europe, now taking form
in America. Of this one cannot but be
convinced when the movement is closely
observed, the shlboleth of its adherents
listened to, the discourses of Its orators
carefully examined. The war of class
agnlnst enss Is upon us, the war of the
proletariat agnlnst the property-holder.
No other meaning than this can be given
to the appeal to the "common people,"
to tho "laborer," to the "poor and down
trodden" and to the denunciations against
"plutocrats" and "corporations" and
"money grabbers" and "bankers." Many
adherents of the movement do not per
ceive its full meaning: but let them be
ware; they are lighting torches which
borne In the hands of reckless men, may
light up In this country the lurid 11 res of
a commune. America, heretofore, lias
been free from socialistic hatred and war
fare; It has been a country of opportunl.
ties for ull men and It has given to the
laborer a livelihood higher and better
than Is offered him In any other country
of the world. Is this all to be changed?
Is social chaos, gloating over ruins, to bn
a method of tho social elevation of the
masses? There may be room In some
things for peaceful amelioration through
well Informed public opinion and orderly
legislation; but class hatred and angry
passion never led to aught but general mis
ery and suffering. Let the people of Amer
ica today look warily around and guard
against catch words and misleading war
cries, avoid giving any countenance to
socialistic and anarchistic tendencies and
know that the first condition of prosper
ity to any and all classes ot the people Is
a peaceful commonwealth and an as
sured social order.
In the remainder of his statement of
3,000 words the archbishop discusses
clearly and understanding the fal
lacies which 'Underly the "free silver at
16 to 1" cry. But os lie says at the be
ginning, that in itself Is relatively
minor in Its portentous suggestion of
danger to tho communistic tenor of the
Bryan campaign. The quotation made
above embodies that port of the arch
bishop's deliverance which Is of widest
and deepest significance, nnd we com
mend it to the consideration of every
thoughtful citizen.
On December 20, 183G, Andrew Jack
son wrote: "There is no fraud in gold;
like the honest principles of the found
era of our government, who declure by
constitutional provision the precious
metals to be the only money of tho re
public, it is unchangeable, and will do
its office well everywhere and at all
times; no Alchemy can multiply it no
chartered privileges can give sudden
and unseen expansion or contraction to
Its amount. Nature has set limits and
labor Imparts an Invariable) value to It.
It is, therefore, the true representative
of the principles of Justice and equality
whch ahould enter into everything that
I
operates on our institution!:, andshould
be ever insisted on by the Industrious
classes aa the actual circulating
medium to bring continually to the test
every species of credits currency, and
to suppress the spurious paper system,
resting on no solid basis, and giving
birth to frauds and stock gambling;
which tends so much to estrange our
people from honest and useful pursuits,
and our legislation from that primitive
patriotism which was once entirely di
rected to foster them." Yet Bryan
heralds himself a a disciple of Andrew
Jackson.
After criticizing the Republican
press for neglecting to make larger use
of the admirable personality of the Re
publican candidate and pointing out
how even the Popocrats admire Major
MoKlnley personally, the Buffalo En
quirer says: "The plain truth is that
Mr. McKlnley , as a soldier and as a
citizen, has behaved himself In manly
fashion; that In public and In private
life he has been admirable; that he has
never fulled to meet tho requirements
of any position to which he has been
called; ami that there Is every reason
to believe that he will prove equal to tho
grave responsibilities of the presidency,
and not only till the place but adorn
it." We can endorse this, every word,
und so cun all who have known tho
man.
"Those who buy of farmers the food
stuffs which they raise, and sell the
same farmers money, should under
stand that wise farmers desire to buy
only tho best moneymoney which,
like good pork, beef and cereals will
pass current In all markets. And ns
there has never been any complaint
nbout too goml wheat, too good beef,
too good pork, or too productive a farm,
so there never can be, from correctly
reasoning men, any complaint about
too good a dollur, too good currency or
money. A dollar with too much pur
chasing power is as impossible as a
square meal with too much nutritive
power, or an acre of land with too much
productive capacity." Secretary J.
Sterling Morton.
-
By the death of Edward White Ben
son, D. D., archbishop of Canterbury
and ecclesiastical primate ot England,
an important figure is removed from
the religious world. To Americans, Dr,
Benson was noted principally by vir
tue of the historical importance of his
oflice, but it is only fair to his mem
ory to say that he rose to it quite as
much by merit ns by the favor ot the
prime minister (Mr. Gladstone) who In
December, 1882, nominated him to the
crown for the preferment. His private
life was noted for its simplicity, he was
In all respects true tq. his lofty calling
and his death ends a career of singular
beauty and usefulness.
William Connell on tho other hand rep
resents In himself every principle of tho
Republican party, and favors tho plan
which continues the periodical Issue of
bonds 1o maintain the $M0,OU0.O90 gold
fund in the treasury. Scranton Times.
If Mr. Connell represents Republican
principles, as indeed he does so far as
this congressional district is concerned,
then he doesn't favor bond sales, but
a Protective tariff which will supply
enough revenue to make bond sales un
necessary. Jt Is very nervy In a Demo
cratic paper to condemn bond sales
which were directly forced upon the
country by a Democratic deficit tariff.
If Mr. Byran were president and a
mob should seize railroad property, in
terrupt interstate commerce and ob
struct the progress of the malls, he
would not use troops to defend the pub
lic rights until asked to do so by the
state authorities. In other words, he
would subordinate federal law to the
political or temperamental exigencies
of state executives. Is such a man fit
to be president?
It is well to bear in mind, as Major
McKlnley said to the delegation which
visited him from this valley: "There
are not enough mints In the United
States or in the world to give employ
ment to the miners of Pennsylvania.
Therefore you must not be looking to
the mints for the money which you
need. You must look to the mines, the
mills and the factories."
A bill Is to be Introduced at the next
session of the New York legislature to
forbid the employment of married wo
men as teachers In schools. And yet
the best teachers of children, as a rule.
are married women or widows. No
woman who has not been a mother is
able fully to understand children. Any
how, what business hus a state legisla
ture with such a bill?
Tho harplos that hnve fattened on tho
working classes, under the gold standard,
are not satisfied with their pound of flesh:
ihey will tear the very vitals from their
victims, unless the masses arouse Scran
ton Times.
We suppose this Is what the Times
calls conducting a temperate cam
paign.
Tillman says It's Watson who is hurt
ing Bryan, but Watson would clearly be
justified in saying: "You're another."
A WOMAN'S QUESTION.
Dear I'ncle Sam:
A letter I write you, please reply
If you'll spare time to read it
You'll see Just reason why.
There's such a dreadful uproar,
I'd like to learn tho cause;
Is It of silver.
Or Is It unjHRt laws?
I've heard that Orover Cleveland
Once hnd a golden dream,
And meant to nld our people
Hy some will-grounded scheme;
But that his pnrty failed him,
He couldn't work alone,
And so for grievous errors
Our nation must atone.
And so, Tf Bryan's elected.
Can he make laws alone?
And can ho coin free sliver
As If ho ruled a throne?
Or if McKlnley's chosen,
Han he Napoleon's skill,
To sway tho mluhty millions
Albeit 'gainst their will?
If you need one man for office,
Pray, tell me, cannot you
Just sent that one man In his chair ,
Without so much ado?
Each day the papers tell us
Of riots, right and left.
Our stores and banks nrc closing.
Of home we are bereft.
Pve learned to do with little,
'And now must do with less,
And so for all this uproar
Can see no cause to bless.
No doubt men who are voters,
All t:nderstnnd tho laws,
But I rim but a woman
And fall to see the cause. '
So when you SPnd your answer,
Please make It very pla'n.
For all these vexing queiduna
Have racked my weaker brain.

What This Great
Country Can't Do
From the Washington Tost.
This is a great and strong country, great
In Its achievements and Us possibilities,
and strong In tho patriotism of Its people.
It U a rich country. In the wealth already
created from its soil. Its mines, and its
forests; and In its unutilized natural re
sources It is richer than any other land on
the globe. But we do not believe that the
United States, great, strong, and rich as
it Is, Is able to do what tho advocates of
free coinage assert that It can. They tell
us that We can compel all nutlons to rec
ognize a silver dollar containing about 00
cents' worth of that metal as worth one
hundred cents in gold. Mr. Sawall, in his
letter of acceptance says: "The Ameri
can pcoplo will be loyal to the nation's
money, and will stand behind it and main
tain It at whatever value they may put
upon It." And ho makes an eloquent ref
erence to the great uprising of the people
thirty-five years ago In defense of the
Vnlon as proof of the power of the people
when they "stand behind" a principle.
o
This Illustration Is good enough rhetoric,
but had logic. When the American peo
ple, or those of them who stood by the old
Itug, were making that grand demonstra
tion to show the ability of a great peo
ple to maintain the nation's money "at
the value they put upon It," they were
strong enough to put down the rebellion,
but they wero utterly unable to maintain
the value of their money after they aban.
doned the world's standard. Is there
reason to believe that loyalty to silver on
the part of the American people will affect
other nations in a different way from
that In which their loyalty to greenbacks
did? If we undertake to make a dollar
with 50 cents' worth of silver nnd GO cents
In flat, can we, with nil our strength,
rompel the world to take that combina
tion of silver and tut for a hundred cents
In gold?
o
In March, 1S03, the aggregate of green
backs was Jtii),lKK',0o0. Tho people "stood
behind" this money, but It Went down to
30 cents on the dollar. No one contends
that free coinage would reduce silver dol
lars to that extent, for silver has a com
mercial value. It Is now worth as bullion
fju to 51 per cent, of Its coinage value.
Free coinage, by increasing the demand,
would undoubtedly enhance the value to
some extent. And that enhancement
would be recognized In the markets of tho
world. Hut the notion that, because a
people are brave, strong, and loyal, they
can cut loose from the world's standard
and compel the world to recognize what
ever value they may put on their money,
Is not supported by a single fact In his
tory, and it decidedly gets a black eye from
our experience of the war time to which
Mr. Sewall refers for its confirmation.
IN NO DANGER.
From the Industrial News.
The most Important part of the machin
ery of our national government Is the
congress, which has tho power to make
laws with or without the sanction of the
president, therefore It is much more, im
portant that that body be composed of a
majority of members who favor sound
money und protection than to have a pres.
Ident pledged to those doctrines with a
congress holding opposite views, for tho
reason that a congress composed of free
traders and free sllveiites would have
the power to enact laws to suit their own
views and the president be powerless to
check them. This being the case, it is
highly important that nothing should bo
done which would In any way Jeopardize
the election of any sound money congres
sional nominee. This district, happily, la
In no dunger of being represented In the
national legislature by one whoso parly
platform is in direct opposition to the
prosperity of, and would work an Injury
to the Industries of this valley. The elec
tion of William Connell next month will
be a great victory- for protection to 'Amer
ican industries, and wo are pleased to be
able to say from personal knowledge thut
the workingmen of the Lackawanna val
ley, union and non-union, will do their
share in making Mr. Council's majority
so overwhelming that it will foverer set
tle. In this. valley at least, the question cf
where the tolling masses stand on the free
silver theories and the destructive policy
of free trade.
THEY MERIT 81PPORT.
Frm the Industrial News.
In the campaign now fast approaching
and end, the county offices to be filled this
fall should not be ullowed to be overshad
owed by the national candidates. The of
fices of commissioners and auditors are
very Important, as they are charged with
tho economic administration of the finan
cial affairs of the county, and the best
men available should be chosen. The pres
ent Republican county commissioners
have proven their fitness for the position
and as one good turn deserves another
Messrs. S. W. and Giles Roberts should he
re-elected. They are deserving of the
honor, and those who desire an honest
und impartial administration of county af
fairs should vote for them. For the office
of county nuditors Messrs. A. E. Kiefer
and Fred Ward are both experienced bus
iness men, fully competent to transuct
tho duties of the olllee, and their election
will be a guarantee that the work In that
oflice will bo run on business principles.
FHEE SILVER AND LABOK.
From the Industrial News.
The result of the success of the free sil
ver craze would be to throw the cause of
labor back many years. The wage-earner
could not live n the wages now paid If
paid In hnlf-dollar dollars. He would be
compelled to apply for an advance in his
wages In the new depreciated currency,
with but poor prospects of obtaining It.
Then commence strikes and lockouts, men
out of work, hardship In the home, pay
ments on the little property stopped short,
taxes unpaid, mortgage foreclosed, and
years of labor all gone for nothing. The
battle of life is over for the toller, and
just beginning for those nearest and dear
est to him with poverty for their Inherit
ance. There Is no possible reason for the
wage-earner taking all these chances, an 1
making such enormous sacrifices to add
to the already fabulous wealth of multi
millionaire English silver mine owners,
for It Is admitted that they would be most
benefited by free coinage.

Henry, Scranton You were born under
the sign of t'uprlcornus when the moon

and no doubt will make your mark as on

whether In the act of cracking 16 to 1 jokes

state. If your forehead recedes It will be
advisable for you to adopt the latter call
