of tho active lc-ulslatlvo ranvass In the.
First district and brings beforo the vot
ers of that district the necessity of
rolling mi a handsome- vote for Mr.
Furr and the whole ReiuMlran ticket.
It Is unnecessiiry to go at any length
Into Mr. Furr's record us a legislator,
id nop that hat Wri discussed before
the- iieopl.' of hltt district lime and
again. The fact that they have thrice
elected him to represent them at Har
risliurg and have n. fourth time placed
1:1m In nomination indicates that they
fully approve of his work.
Observe Flag Day.
The ?iU'g.tion of Chairman Hanna
that I'epul.lh ans the country ever ob
serve the Saturday before cHctl.m af
"lias day," in recognition of the Im
li.itance of the Issues now at stake,
will impress ail patriots favorably. In
this campaign for the national honor
palilotlsm has In many instances been
placed above party and It would be
manifestly litting for the sound money
host.) to go forth with the (lag as their
emblem, determined by that sign to
COIKJU' r.
It ir. announced that tho British home
rciviary is dlKsatisIled with the man
ner in v. hlch the London police handled
the Tynan "dynamite conspiracy." We
should think he would be. They made
u whole range of formidable mountains
out of one insl'tnlflcant mole-hill.
Altseld's New York Speech.
Ah we have previously said, John P.
Aligi ld, coventor of Illinois, is intel
lectually one of the ablest men in the
Tnited States. We think that he puts
his extraordinary mental abilities to
vicious uses when he employs them to
advocate a debasement of the currency
and a curtailment of tho just power
of the federal government to enforce
national law. We consider that an able
man on the wrong side is dangerous
In exact proportion to his ability; and
this is why in our opinion the real
menace behind the showy but super
ficial Hiyan Is the calculating, the
shrewd, the plausiblu disciple of
Machlavel, Altgeld. A careful reading
of Altgeld's New York speech strength
ens this conviction. It emphasizes the
subtlety and the adroltnesn of which
this leading spirit In the present or
ganized revolt against stability and
food order Is the master.
Primarily that speech was a defense.
It reviewed in detail his course during
the Debs railroad Insurrection. He
declared he was on that occasion ready
to furnish troops during the strike
whenever demanded by local civil au
thorities, and he held he had no right
to use tho state militia without such
requisition. He said he furnished
troops on the request of the federal
authorities in southern Illinois, and was
ready to do the same for the federal
authorities at Chicago, but they never
OKked him for such aid. He said that
none of the civil authorities in Chicago
asked hlin for troona until he himself
through a friend urged Mayor Hopkins
to make such a requisition, when he
had S.OOO members of tho Illinois na
tional guard on duty within a few
hours. The governor asserted that fed
eral troona were ordered under arms
three days before there was any riot
ing in Chicago, and that they were In
camp in Chicago a day before the strik
ers began to destroy property. He
asserted that the regulars did not pre
vent rioting, but on tho contrary pro
voked It. He gave the police and the
militia all the credit for quelling the
disturbances. He insisted it was un
constitutional for the president to Bend
federal troops to quell a local disturb
ance unless requested by the legisla
ture or the governor of the state. He
argued that to permit such action made
the president a dictator, and estab
lished a new and dangerous principle
in American government.
If this were a truthful representa
tion of the facts, Altgeld's deductions
might be admitted. Hut it is not the
truth. The disturbance was more than
local. It involved more than a misde
meanor. It blocked interstate trafllc
and travel and obstructed the malls.
It Jeoparded the peace and safety of
tho entire community. While Mayor
Hopkins, of Chicago, was waiting for
Governor Altgeld to act and while Gov
ernor Altgeld was waiting for Mayor
Hopkins to act, each 'trying to throw
the responsibility for decisive action
on the other's shoulders, the president
of the United States, bearing in mind
that national authority had been set
at defiance, put forth the military force
of the federal government and broke
the insurrection's backbone. As he said
In reply to Altgeld's protest: "In this
hour of danger and public distress dis
cussion may well give way to active
effort on the part of all in authority
to restore obedience to law and to pro
tect life and property." " : :
Governor Altgeld says the president'!
interposition of federal troops was un
constitutional. Congress and the courts
say 'It was not. We take the latter as
the safer and better authority. Qover
nor Altgeld says the president's course
was tyrannical. Public opinion re
sponds that the vacillation of the Illin
ois authorities was abominable. It
seems strange that Governor Altgeld
should care more for the letter of tho
constitution than for the welfare of
the people. The natural plan would be
to put down the disorder first and dis
cuss constitutional technicalities after
ward. If there is one thing about the
American people which is to their
credit above another it Is the read.iness
with which they applaud and admire
brave effort to enforce the law. Cleve
land made that kind of an effort while
Hopkins and Altgeld missed their
chance by stopping to split hairs. The
complaints of the latter come too late.
Public opinion has endorsed the presi
dent's course, and it is in no mood to
grant a reargument of the case.
It Is nil w time for the friends of Rep
resentative Connell in the Second dis
trict to make their friendship felt. It Is
also time for the disinterested voter In
that district to consider whether the
good work which Mr. Connell did two
years ago at IJnrrisburg does not merit
a re-election. m
The Two Things Needful.
Fo- tho Information of the Scranton
Times and Its sympathizers we repeat
that:
A silver dollar now, notwithstand
ing that it contains only 00 cents' worth
of silver bullion Is as good as a gold
dollar Ijecause by act of congress and
by command of the people the govern
ment requires it to be exchangeable
upon demnnd for a gold dollar. That
Is, anyone who Isn't satislled with It
can get a gold dollar for It.
If our present silver currency were
not thus backed by gold It would fall
JO per cent, in value, and all who have
money saved or wages due would suf
fer loss correspondingly.
Under free coinage silver dollars
would not be backed by gold; the gov
ernment would be under no pledge to
exchange a silver dollar for a gold dol
lar; the value of the currency would
fall; property as measured In these
base dollars, while not worth any more
In fact, would appear to be worth more
because It would take a larger number
of the cheaper dollars to represent an
equivalent for it; gold would go to a
premium; men In necessity could bor
row only by agreeing to repay in gold
and they would, at paying back time,
find it harder then than now to secure
gold; and the only real gainers in all
this unsettling experiment would be
the mine-owner with silver bullion to
sell. He would get two dollars then
whero he gets one now; and would
work these cheaper dollars off on the
men who dig his . pre, thus virtually
cutting their wages In two.
The foregoing Is the silver question
In a nutshell. But there are other Is
sues. Bryan stands for a revenue tar
iff. Ho helped to frame the Wilson
bill. He opposes Protection. He fa
vors free trade. This policy has dur
ing the past three years meant to the
people of Lackawanna county and
would In the future mean:
First, discouragement to capital.
With the possibility before him of be
ing undersold by a foreign rival who
enjoys the advantages of cheap labor,
the American capitalist hesitates to
build a new mill or enlarge an old one.
Ho doesn't dare to manufacture a sur
plus stock, for that might be a load on
his hands. He just does from day to
day the business actually necessary to
be done and wnits for better times.
Second, loss to labor. When the mill
is running about half time, the work
man is getting not over half pay. Free
trade of 4he Bryan kind cuts labor's
wages the very first thing. The mill
owner canenerally get along even if
the mill isn't paying. But the work
Ingman can seldom afford to live for
very long on half or quarter pay.
Third, general depression. When his
mill Isn't making money, the mill-owner
doesn't live extravagantly. He gives
less to charity. He curtails his ex
penses wherever he can. Even worse
with the laborer. He quits buying
meat and new clothes and the better
class of articles generally. He lives on
half of his former allowance, and after
awhile has to- ask the stores to give
him credit. Put these facts together
all over the country and you have the
explanation of hard times. Put them
together and you can see why money
seems scarce. There is just as much
money as ever, but It Isn't in circula
tion. Not the mints but the mills will
start it moving again. Steady work
under the stimulus of Protection will
mean good wages again, and good
profits for capital. Good wages will
mean a cash trade for the butcher, the
baker, the tailor and the grocer. Good
profits will mean Idle money brought
out from its hiding place, and invested
where it will enliven business and
make times Improve.
In other words. Just two things are
necessary to bring back prosperity
confidence and work. Confidence won't
come while enthusiasts, demagogues
and cranks are encouraged to hammer
away at the national credit. Work
won't como while our tariff laws give
foreigners the advantage. We can get
both confidence and work by rolling. up
a tremendous majority two weeks from
today for McKinley, Connell, Protec
tion and sound money.
Altgeld Is undoubtedly the bralnR of
the Brynn movement, but brains with
out conscience Is a poor recommenda
tion. An Alleged Faith Cure.
An unknown friend favors us with a
marked copy of a Pottsvllle paper of
Oct. 13, which, under tho head of Mln
ersvllle Notes, says:
iMrs. Uenseman, who for the past six
years anil nine months has been eonllne.l
to her room, came downstairs for the first
time yesterday. Her recovery is attribut
ed to the Christian science treatment.
In the absence of any communication
other than the marked paper we sup
pose that this was intended as a vindi
cation of the "faith cure." As such It
leaves much to be desired. Apart from
some uncertolnty as to the truth of the
statement that the foregoing was a
cure by faith alone, we yet require to
he shown that the percentage of resto
rations by faith Is larger than that by
medicine. Until this can be shown
clearly and byv convincing figures, the J

It will be easy for Hie American wo
whether free coinage, such as they have 1
majority of us will be Justified, when
taken 111, in sending at once for the
doctor and lu calling to our rescue the
known skill of modern pathological sci
ence. If In addition to the doctor's
ministrations, we have faith also, so
much the better, for two chances are
obviously better than one. "
All this, however, Is aside from the
main question. That question is, Can a
believer In the faith method of curing
be permitted with impunity to violate
the law concerning Infectious diseases
and put in peril the health of the com
munity? To this question we return a
decided negative. No matter If cures
ate sometimes effected by faith; no
matter if a person may believe that
faith is a Burer cure than physic, he or
she has no right by any code of ethics
to permit that belief to trespass on the
rights of others. This is a country
where opinion is free, but it Is also a
country of equal rights before the law.
Whenever one person demands a right
which wrongs another, that person is
going too far, and the law should inter
fere. If it Is true, as reported (which we
do not believe) that the Republican
managers in Illinois do not expect a
plurality for McKinley In the state at
lurge, outside of Cook county, but rely
upon the sound money majority of Chi
cago to swing victory to the Republi
can ticket, than we should have the
balance of, .political power transferred
bodily from New York city to the chief
city of the west. We do not believe
tills report, because outside of "Egypt"
and certain other dark spots on the
map of the Sucker state, the rural vot
ers of Illinois are In the main too in
telligent to be caught by the sophistries
of Bryan; and too patriotic to follow
the Popocrats in their assault on law,
order and national honor. We look for
big Republican pluralities In both coun
try and cities.
'It Is highly typical and character
istic of the whole class of make-believe
social reformers, who want to overturn
our existing civilization so as to bene
fit the poor man, that the very first
practical step which they propose to
take Is one which would entail more
misery and suffering on the poor man
than all the oppression of the most evil
minded capitalist could Inflict on him
In a century. It la a grim and strik
ing example of what we have to expect
from the men who believe they can
benefit one class by harming another,
and who affect to think that by a gen
eral overthrow of tho existing order of
things they may be able to help some
deserving people rise upward through
the brutal chaos of pain and hatred
which they will cause." Theodore
Roosevelt.
In the Twentieth (or Altoona) con
gress district the Inability of the con
ferrees to agree upon one Republican
candidate and the unwillingness of the
other candidates themselves to clear
the field for Congressman Hicks, who
has the strongest claims to a re-election,
have resulted in three Republi
can nominations on the official ballot
to one free silver Democratic nomina
tion. The district last time gave near
ly 12,000 Republican plurality and It
ought not to be lost in this Important
year because of personal clashes within
the party; but it probably will be lost
unless Messrs. Thropp and Kooser, the
kickers, soon withdraw.
The thanks of Tho Tribune are due
to Charles W. Johnson, 259 First Ave
nue, South, Minneapolis, Minn., for a
neatly printed copy of the official pro
ceedings of the recent national Repub
lican convention nt St. Louis. The pub
lication is an official one, and copies
may be had for $1 each.
Governor Altgeld says there is not
tho slightest shadow of a doubt as to
how Illinois will go. In this estimate
he agrees with Mark Hanna. The only
uncertainty seems to be us to whether
McKlnley's plurality will be 100,000 or
150,000.
Bryan's record tV date is over 400
speches delivered and over 15,000 miles
traveled since his nomination. He is
altogether too anxious to be president.

MOHAI, ISSUES.
Theodore Roosevelt, at Chicago.
We believe that the campaign should be
waged on the moral even more than the
material Issue. Mr. Bryan and Mr. Alt
geld are the embodiments of the two prin
ciples which our adversaries desire to sea
triumph; and In their ultimate analysis
those principles are merely the negations
of the two commandments "Thou shalt
not steal" and "Thou Bhalt do no murder."
Mr. Bryan champions that Rystem of dis
honesty which would steal from the cred
itors of the nation half of what they have
In good faith loaned and from the work
Ingmen of the nation half of what-by their
honest toll they have earned. Mr. Altgeld
condones and encourages the most In
famous of murders and denounces the fed
eral government and the supreme court
for Interfering to put a stop to the bloody
lawlessness which would result In worse
than murder. Both of them would substi
tute for the government of Washington
and Lincoln, for the system of orderly lib
erty which we inherit from our forefathers
and which we desire to bequeath to our
sons, a red welter of lawlessness and ills
honesty as fantastic anil as vicious as the
Paris commune Itself. Turning aside from
the American principles of government,
repudiating everything which has made
the name a symbol of hope among nations,
they seek to substitute a crazy fabri?,
patched up from the worn-out theories of
every European dreamer and Ruropean
agitator. We appeal to no class and to no
section; we appeal to all the citizens of
this land alike, merely as Americans.
Kasterner and westerner, northerner an I
southerner, merchant and clerk, farmer
and farm laborer, manufacturer und work
ingman, we ask you to stand together as
Americans, Jealous of tho honor of your
country and Indignant at those who pro
pose to drag that honor in' the dust. We
ask you to stand for decent government
and the honest payment of debts. We ask
you to set your faces against that spirit
of lawless mob violence, which could In the
end produce nothing but anarchy; anar
chy the handmaiden and sure herald of ty
ranny. We ask you to vote against Mr.
Bryan, not merely because his success
would mean the Impoverishment of the
poor and the trouble of the rich, the break
ing up of homes, the despair of strong men
and the hungry misery of the women and
children, but because the laws of right and
justice bid you oppose them. We ask you
to declare for the payment of honest debts
and for the suppression of lawless mobs
not merely because It is expedient, but be
cause it Is right. No nation can long hold
Its place in the world if it does not strive
to live up to a lofty moral ideal; and wc
ask you to Join In the overthrow of the
enemies of American honor and of Ameri
can liberty because every principle of
sound morality bids you take such action.
THE MUNICIPAL PROBLEM.
From the Times-Herald,
The functions of a municipality grow
more numerous and more Important every
year, the most significant extensions hav
ing been made along the line of public
health and sanitation. Among the multi
tudinous questions that may now engage
the serious thought of those who desire
to bring about the perfect form of munici
pal government are: The best methods of
selecting paving brick, of testing sewer
pipes, paving and other cement; the mom:
satisfactory and economical system of
cleaning streets, of collecting garbage anil
ashes, of regulating the too promiscuous
opening of street pavements by corpora
tions and Individual property owneis, of
Introducing protective sanitary measures
In all house plumbing and drulning, of se
curing the best railway track construc
tion in streets; the abatement of smoke
and other nuisances; the regulating of
t raffle by a wagon or tire tax, of providing
the best kind of under-ground service of
all classe of wires, of securing to the pub
lic a suitable return for all corporate
franchises, of enforcing honest comp'itl
tlon und honest work on the part of con
tractors for public works.

From the Industrial News,
The workingmen of Lackawanna coun

around William Connell, the standard
bearer of Protection and sound monoy,
and will take a Just pride In electing him
to congress on these great principles. As
the party candidate, he will poll the en
tire Republican vote, which alone makes
his election ussured, while the large num
ber of votes he will receive from those
who have never identified themselves with
the party, and the hundreds of young men

his election so overwhelming that the op
