And now the local Popocratle organ
charges a near-by coal company with
giving Its employes n tlay oft with full
pay and free ticket to a big McKlnley
demonstration In New York. Tills Is
truly terrible. Isn't It? How that com
pany's men must resent the Idea of be
ing given pay for a holiday!
(live Farr a Rouser.
Among the numerous good reasons
why there should be a large majority
for John It. Farr In the First district
Is the fact that his presence In the next
legislature will be helpful to the cause
of education.
As the author of the free text book
bill and the compulsory education law,
and also as chairman of the lust com
mittee on education, ho has gained an
Identification with school legislation
which makes hla re-election a matter
of state moment. The department of
public Instruction and teachers and
school directors generally have come to
feel that In him they have a trustwor
thy champion, who Is alert to further
good measures find equally quick to
spot bad ones. His experience In this
one line of legislative work would alone
Justify his return to Harrlsburg by a
fine majority.
Rut in addition to this, Mr. Farr hns
proved himself a vigilant and efficient
guardian of local Interests. His wide
acquaintance with the governing forces
of the house and his thorough familiar
ity with ways and means are Important
points in his favor how Important, no
layman can hope fully to understand.
He will be elected, of course; but It
would be much better for all concerned
If local nnd geographical differences
were for the time forgotten and a rous
ing majority rolled up for htm and for
the whole Republican ticket.
Tom Reed's throat may be Inflamed,
but the printed version of his speeches
shows that his mind continues as clear
as a bell.
The Outlook for Cuba.
Ve should like to believe this new
story of President Cleveland's deter
mination to jvelebrate the Christmas
season by a virtual recognition of the
Independence of Cuba. That such a
recognition would be hailed with grati
tude by the people of this republic .s
beyond controversy; that It would still
further be an act of International Jus
tice, fully warranted by consideration
of humanity, geographical nearness and
manifest destiny, Is strongly believed.
Progress to a final conclusion of this
unhappy struggle is urgently demand
ed. Either Spain must win and the
shackles of her odious tyranny be
riveted for generations to come upon
the unforunate beings who have dared
simply to assert their right to govern
themselves, or else the fact of Spain's
impotence to crush the Cuban spirit
must be recognized before warfare and
brutality shall have turned the fairest
spot on earth into a waste place and
a desolation.
In the railway riots at Chicago two
years ago the president of the United
States' acted first and debated techni
calities afterward. It is true that this
was an incident of domestic adminis
tration and did not involve the danger
of a foreign war. Yet there was no
broad principle of justice and right
eousness governing Mr. Cleveland's
action then which does not now cry
out in even more earnest accents in
behalf of American Intervention In
Cuba, Were this government disposed
now, as it was then, to lose no time in
vindicating the supremacy of its prin
ciples over the miscellaneous madness
of the mob, a way could doubtless be
found without much difficulty for the
strong arm of the American republic
to 'stay the torch and halt the machete
of the Spanish ruffians in mob-ridden
Cuba, in the name of liberty and hu
manity. It would look well In "history to have
Mr. Cleveland's second administration
rounded out with an act of justice
which will command the unanimous
approval of future ages. It would tend
to reconcile the people to an adminis
tration In most other respects unpre
cedentedly unfortunate. But whether
the present executive shall see fit to
Improve this opportunity or not, there
Is consolation In the fact that there will
soon be installed In the white house a
president in full touch with the humane
instincts of his countrymen and not
likely to prove recalcitrant In meeting
any obligation Involving the national
honor.
Asked in Paris the other day what he
thought the consequence would be if
Bryan should be elected president of
-the United States, M. Paul Leroy
Beaulleu.the renowned French political
economist, replied: "I believe that the
United States would have to bear a
crisis of rare intensity and of long du
ration If the gold standard In that
country should give way (o the silver
standard. The flow of capital from the
old civilised world which has contribute
d to the development of that new
country would be reduced in enormous
proportions. The credit of the country
would be considerably damaged.' M.
Leroy-lleaulleu has no conceivable rea
son to bear fulse witness In this mat
ter. His words are the words of a rec
ognized authority.
Voters in the upper end of the coun
ty should not fail to attend the Re
publican mass-meeting In Carbondale
tomorrow night. Colonel W. A. Stone,
the principal speaker, Is not only one of
the foremost members of the American
congress but it Is believed that he will
be Pennsylvania's next governor. He
Is an effective orator, and what he says
will merit close attention.
A Stupid Story.
The story that Mr. Bryan had once
applied for a job as advance agent of a
theatrical company is denied by him,
and that ought to settle It. The story
was probably started as a joke; but it
must be confessed that it was a stupid
one. .There is no real objection to Mr
Bryan because he has been poor and
lowly, nor does it militate against him
that he has had to work hard to make
both ends meet. In those details he has
our admiration.
The objection to him tukes far higher
ground. It takes note of his inexperi
ence, of his shallowness of reasoning,
of his proneness to self-contradiction,
of his liability to be guided by senti
ment rather than hard, cold common
sense; and finally of the vlolous char
acter of the platform upon which as a
candidate he stands. Not because he is
poor, (McKinlcy, too, Is poor; McKln
ley, too, lives In a rented house and
since the loss of his small savlnss a
few years ago through the duplicity of
a friend has had just ns hard work as
Bryan ever had to keep even) but be
cause he is unsafe do we oppose Mr.
Bryan.
But It Is well to be fair to him and
to frown upon silly yarns aimed at his
private churacter or condition.
The victory that is coming for good
government one week from Tuesday
would be Incomplete without the elec
tion of every man on the local Republi
can ticket. Get ready to vote that
ticket straight.
Our Discontented Classes.
The London Spectator, In a long
article devoted to a discussion of
Bryan's chances, lays great stress upon
the existence In our cities and on our
farms, of a largo element of the ser
iously discontented, who In its Judg
ment are not amenable to argu
ment or reason, and who therefore will
be likely to make Bryan's a large vote.
To send lecturers and literature to
these people magnifying their blessings
and affecting to make light of their
grievances is. In its opinion, "like
arguing with a man with a liver com
plaint on the beauty of the day, and the
health which In all other respects Pro
vidence has bestowed upon him. He
only feels that, In addition to his mis
eries, he Is misunderstood."
Abstractly, the Spectator's point is
well taken. But it Indulges in mere
theory when It infers that the thought
ful men who are this year active for
McKlnley, Protection and sound money
are oblivious or Indifferent to honest
discontent In any quarter. They are
concerned now with trying to prevent
the discontented classes from making
a jump out of the frying pan Into the
lire; by and by, when that danger Is
averted and the peril of chaos is put
to one side, they will bring their minds
and their actions to bear upon the real
grievances of the discontented, with
a view to their remedy. It Is the quack
who promises instantaneous cures. The
man who is really skilled in medicine
does not have the audacity to guaran
tee miraculous restoration as the sure
result of one call and one prescription.
If we turn back to the year 1892 as a
fair time for the examination of the
nation's symptoms under Republican
rule, we discover that the number of
unemployed men and of unproductive
farms was relatively much smaller than
it is today, or than it had been during
most of the preceding years. A fair
deduction from this premise is that
the political conditions of 1S92 (that is,
ample Protection, sound money, trained
statesmen in charge of affairs and
general confidence in the government's
solvency and in Its honor) are prefer
able to the conditions which exist to
day, with a deficit tariff, an adminis
tration at cross purposes with itself,
Its party and Its masters, the people,
and with a great rallying of the dis
satisfied for a wild charge on the na-,
tlonal credit. In other words, most
of the present discontent Is due, not
to the "crime of 73," but to the blun
der of '92.
It follows, then, if we get back to
the political conditions which existed
before that blunder, or rather bring
them forward to fit the altered circum
stances of today, we shall have done
as much as wise government can do
for the Immediate relief of the patient.
It Is out of Jhe question : to legislate
every citizen Into the halcyon, pos
session of health, wealth and happi
ness. He must do his part, too. He
must work, and save, and study; he
must help himself. After the Imme
diate crisis is past there will be time
and disposition to consider minor ail
ments, and to set In motion the requis
ite remedies. This will do away with
as many of the discontented classes as
can be done away with by means of
legislation. But it will work no revolu
tion In human nature neither will It
make sure the future safety of the re
public. We must not forget that "eter
nal vigilance is the price of liberty."
Walter Wellman now predicts that
McKlnley will carry Kentucky, and we
must say that we agree with him.
The Politician W.th a Past.
Mr. Bryan posed once as a candid
man. Many persons who didn't In the
least agree with his opinions were at
one time favorably impressed with the
open and manly manner in which he
gave utterance to them, and while feel
ing constrained to vote against him
because of his present platform would
still have had a kindly feeling for him
personally and a glad wish for his fu
ture prosperity.
This was the condition of affairs fol
lowing his dramatic nomination at Chi
cago and up to the appearance of his
formal letter of acceptance. Within,
that period of time the young Nebras
kan made a most favorable impression
upon the country. There Is no political
need for equivocation on this point. We
are stating simply an Indisputable
truth.
Bryan's letter of acceptance, however,
revealed a new phase of the Popo
rratic candidate's character. It exhib
ited a man haunted and hampered by a
dread; a man with a political skeleton
in his closet, which he feared might at
any time disclose Itself and cast a pall
over an otherwise festive occasion. It
demonstrated that its author had at
last come to a realization of his past
political remissness en the tariff ques
tion and was desirous of keeping hat
subject In the background.
Since that moment William Jennings
Bryan has undergone a most distress
ing change. Instead of a blithe, frank
and exuberant young man, overbub
bllng with physical vitality and with
the jaunty Eelf-confidence of mental
Immaturity, we have now a care-worn
dodger; a Politician with a Past.
He is working hard to talk that rec
ord down; he is up at dawn nnd he
remains up until midnight trying by a
torrent of words to drown out from the
people's minds his share of responsi
bility for the Wilson bill; but It Is of
no use. Wherever he goes his handi
work stares him in the face closed fac
tories, Idle mills, men and women re
duced to want and fighting hard to keep
the wolf from the door. Vain his ef
forts to deceive; gone his freshness
and his charm.
In place of the happy-go-lucky Boy
Orator we are getting a sadder and a
wiser Man. But he will be sadder and
wiser yet, a fortnight hence.

How It Would Work.
The Times admits that the silver
mine-owner would profit under the free
coinage of silver. If It Is honest It will
also have to admit that the laborer In
the. silver mine would lose under It,
since It would substitute as his day's
wages, in place of the three gold dollars
now worth 6 ounces of silver, three sil
ver dollars worth only 2.33 ounces of
silver.
But that isn't the only loss which
free silver would entail. In order to
give the few silver mine-owners of the
land an arbitrary profit, free coinage
would cut in two the fjl44.95t.3tjl paid
last year to the nation's 970,r24 heroic
pensioners; It would halve the $450,
067,594 saved up by the 1,745,725 Ameri
cans who are shareholders In building
and loan associations; It would double
the bonded debt of and divide by two
the wages paid by the railways of the
United States, a transaction reaching
Into the billions; It would cause a
shrinkage of fifty per cent In the value
of the $16,000,000,000 worth of fire Insur
ance and the $13,048,452,664 worth of life
Insurance held In this country, rob of
half the savings (now worth $1,810,597,
023) the 4,875,519 persons who have earn
ings Btored In savings banks, and cut
(to an extent of not less than 25 per
cent., and possibly 60 per cent) the pur
chasing power of $7,123,990,985 In wages
now paid to the 20,115,106 wage earners
of our land.
It would be far cheaper to retire these
few silver mine-owners on fat annui
ties and close up their mines than to
Incur such a tremendous loss Just In or
der that they might find an artificial
market.
There is pith and pertinency In this
remark of the Times-Herald: "In their
enthusiasm for the electoral ticket the
sound money adherents must not lose
sight of the tremendous Importance of
controlling the Fifty-fifth congress.
The capture of the lawmaking power
by the repudiationlsts would be a na
tional calamity. The campaign for
sound money In the congressio- .1 dis
tricts should be vigorous and aggres
sive until the night of Nov.' 2." Ves,
and It should be especially vigorous and
aggressive until the polls close on
Nov. 3.
A poll of the various candidates for
legislative honors in this state taken
by the Pittsburg Dispatch indicates
that a large majority of them are will
ing to vote for the Quay reform bills
evolved during the state chairman
ship fight a year ago last summer. This
Is good news as far as It goes. But
the question Is, If the bills should be
passed, would public opinion see that
they were afterward rigidly and im
partially enforced? That is a good topic
for a guessing contest.
Brayn's "revenue only" tariff (that Is,
tho Wilson bill, which he helped to
frame) fell short In Its title Just $06,
057,618 In twenty-live months. But
his free silver experiment would fall
behind expectations to a still greater
extent. If It should ever bo tried, which
isn't probable.
Again at Saginaw, Mich., Mr. Bryan
dodged the tariff question. He reminds
one of the ostrich which thinks it dis
poses of danger by sticking Its head in
the sand.

BRYAN AND AI.TGKI.D.
Speech by Theodore Roosevelt.
It Is not merely schoolgirls that have
hysterics; very vicious mob leaders have
them at times and so do well-meaning
demagogues when their heads are turned
by the applause of men of little intelli
gence and their minds Inflated with the
piAslhllity of acquiring solid leadership In
the country. The dominant note in Mr.
Bryan's utterances and In tho campaign
waged In his behalf Is the note of hysteria.
Messrs. Brynn, Altgeld, Tillman, Debs,
Coxey and tho rest have not tho power to
rival the deeds of Marat, Bnrrere and
Itobcppierre, but they are strikingly liko
the leaders of the reign of terror in France
in mental ami moral attitude, plus an ail
ded touch of tho grotesque rising from the
utter folly as well as the base dishonesty
of their trying to play such a role In such
a country as ours. For Mr. Uryan we can
feel the contemptuous pity always felt
for the small msn unexpectedly thrust
Into a big place. He does not look well In
a lion's skin, but that is chiefly the fault
of those who put the ekln on him. But In
Mr. Altgeld's case we see all too clearly
the jaws and hide of the wolf through the
fleecy covering. Mr. Altgeld Is a mu.'h
more dangerous man than Mr. Bryan. Ho
Is much slyer, much more Intelligent,
much less silly, much more free from all
the restraints of public morality. The one
Is unscrupulous from vanity, the other
from calculation. The one plans whole
sale repudiation with a light heart and
bubbling eloquence, beutfoas ho lacks In
telligence and Is intoxicated by hope of
power; the other woultrconnlve at whole
sale murder nnd would-j'jtffy It by elab
orate and cunning sopN ,4fy for reasons
known only to his own tltuous soul. For
America to put men like this In control of
her destinies would such a dishonor as it
is scarcely bearable to think of.
A (JOSl'KL OF HATE.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Mr. Bryan, now that all logical fact nnd
plea for free sliver prove baseless, has
sunk In his later speeches to the steady
Iteration nnd assertion that free silver
coinage must be a good thing for labor,
because many employers oppose It.
This wild wolf view of society has never
before In our history been urged by a
presidential candidate. If Mr. liryan Is
right In this plea American citizens maki
up a inero ravening pack of woitish men.
snarling over their plunder, each rending
and tearing from the other.
This Is a devil's gospel of hate. The
world Is not thus made. Civilization Is not
thus constructed. Society Is not thus
built. Every honest man known it. All
work Is possible, and only possible, be
cause it Is for mutual prollt. A fair wage
Is no loss to the employer, but a gain. A
fair profit Is no loss to labor, but a gain.
ithout a fair wnjp there can be no fair
work. Without a fulr profit there can be
110 fair employment.
Stability In standnrds, honesty In con
tracts and a dollar always of the same
value are worth Just as much to one sldo
of the bargain between capital and labor
as to the other. Neither can get along
without them. Both profit by them. If
the existing gold standard Is maintained
there Is a gain, which is no man's loss. If
It Is destroyed there will be a sweeping
loss which will be no man s gain. -The
gospel of destruction and selfish
ness ends In selfishness and destruction
as much In trade and labor as In any other
relation of life. When Mr. Bryan seeks
in this way to put class against Has
and to set hatred where the needs of both
capital nnd labor call for peace he Is
sowing hate and scattering war for per
sonal, partisan and political ends,
