If our free silver afternon neighbor win make any chargo In regular, au thorltatlve form against the present management of the county commis alonora' olllce we have no doubt that I prompt and convincing answer will be forthcoming. In the meantime, one vimi not be expected to pay heed to its round-about Insinuation. Last Night ' Meeting. The one predominant fault with the concluding Republican demonstration of the local campaign last evening was the Insufficiency of the Frothlngham theater to accommodate the multitude u'hinh rlnmnred for admission. The occasion was one which gave polpnancy to the regret that Bcranton has not yet constructed that needed new armory From every point of view the meeting was a magnlllcent success. Every speaker, from the eloquent and con vlnclng governor of the commonwealth to the argumentative and philosophical auditor general, repaid his enthusiastic greeting with oratory forceful, bril liant and to the point. The BUbstance of these addresses is reported on an other pane and can therefore be read at leisure by those who last evening were unable to gain entrance. Our only regret In this connection is that In the process of,reduction from Bpoken words to Impassive type much of the force and fire and effectiveness of the speeches will necessarily be lost. While the rally of last evening brought the speaking features of the present canvass to a close, so far as the central portion of the city Is con cerned, there remains to be accom pllshed the systematic organization of election day helpers which will Insure to the cause at stake the vote of every supporter. In this necessary detail work every earnest Republican and every Democrat out of sympnthy with the present dominant forces of the I'opocratlc party should feel called up on to co-operate. - i The way to spike the free silver movement In Lackawanna county is to vote against it all along the line. Get Ready for Business. With election day only four days dis tant It is nut out of place to suecest to voters who believe sincerely In the principles 'represented by the Republi can party that enthusiasm! and zeal, to be most thoroughly effective, re fiiiire to be supplemented by system atic organization and careful detail work. An organization of the Republi can party has been formed In this con-1 gressional district and It is a good one, but It Is not so cood that It cannot be made better If every earnest Re publican who has not yet done so will put himself In communication with the cotnmittel than in his district and re port for duty. The Democrats have charged that this was to be a campaign character ized by the profuse expenditure of money. The charge is false and the Democrats who make It know that it Is false. If a campaign for the protec tion of our local Industries and for the honesty and honor of our currency cannot be won on its merits; If these Interests are not of sufficient concern to the voters of Lackawanna county to render them energetic In their behalf, then the sooner we have free trade and free silver the better. A purchased victory is a moral defeat, and It is an Insult to the manhood of our commu nity to Insinuate that its electoral favor is a commodity for bargain and sale. A rousing victory for the whole Re publican ticket can be won in this county next Tuesday if every voter in sympathy with the Republican posi tion will take pains to help roll It up. He will benefit himself more than anybody else by doing it. It is pri marily his fight. He is the one whom free trade has Injured and whom free silver would despoil. He it is whom restored Protection and continued sound money would directly and per ceptibly benefit. Let him look to It, then, that his interests are not ne glected. Let him see to It that the Re publican majority is impressive. The impression hereabouts seems to be that there is most emphatically nothing the matter with Daniel H. Hastings. CJrowth of Homeopathy. The meeting yesterday of homeo pathic physicians In this city by its large attendance of doctors of that faith, cannot but command public no tice, particularly as to the extraor dinary growth of the new school of medicine within recent years. That a rival schodl of medicine should have sprung into existence within the recol lection of people yet living for It was in the year eighteen hundred and twenty-six that the first physician of the new school, Dr. Gram, a. German, be lls, his medical career in Mew York and should gain so many adherents among the medical men of today and among the laity, bespeaks the need of other methods of medical practice than those in vogue at its inception. Durinj its growth Bcranton, from hav Ing three' or four such doctors ten years ago, now has nearly twenty, all graduates of colleges and universities of accredited standing. The time has now come when the new school of medl cine Is no longer an experiment where tenets are yet to be proven, but strong and progressive it takes its pluce as one of the permanent institutions of the land. The formal welcome accorded last evening to Rev. Dr. Joseph K. Dixon, the new pastor of the Penn Avenue Uaptlst church, was participated In by many of our leading citizens, but it Is heartily concurred In by thousands who were not present In person. During his brief residence among U3 Rev. Dr. Dix on has already established himself among the leaders in Scranton's re llglous thought and life a pastor virile. fearless and outspoken, a true teacher of spirituality and morula. That his pastorate may be attended with in creasing success is the wish of all who have at heart the welfare of this com munity. Chairman Hanna to the Voters. "In your hands Is the destiny of our nation. With you rests the responsi bility of deciding for or against your country's honor. Alone In your booths on election day, with your conscience as your only guide, you will indicate whether you stand for or against the best principles of government. You should calmly and carefully consider before you act. Let no Impulse sway you; let action be upon matured con vlct Ion. "As you go to the polls on Tuesday morning you will surely look upon th (las of our common country In a spirit of reflection. The cost of life and trea sure by which It ha been preserved unsullied to represent a united people should be rememberd. Reflect whether you would preserve for your posterity the national honor which it represents. For what do the Stars and Stripes stand? What lesson have they taught, and what do they guarantee to family and home? "In the name of these precious mem ories and as an earnest of your pa triotic Intentions at the approaching election", the Republican National com mittee has asked that you display the national colors on next Saturday. Un furl everywhere that banner of free dom which thrills the heart of every country-loving citizen. Show your col ors. Let this last Saturday In the cam paign of 181)6 be memorable by a uni versal expression of patriotism. And let the national colors remain In view until after election, so that voters on their way to the polls may not lose t-ight of that Inspiring insignia which has welded our people together as one family before the world. "Patriotic voters, you each and every one can render a service In this cam paign. You cannot only cast your vote for good money, good government and protection to your home and your flag, but you can secure for these great principles at least one other vote. Each patriotic citizen should kfmsclf or her self Individually endeavor to rescue a friend from theerrorof an unwise exer cise of his elective franchise, from vot ing against those principles of national honor for which our people have striven for over a century. The women of the country mothers, daughters and sis terswho have at heart the happiness of family and home, can perform ef fective work by appealing in person to acquaintances and friends who have votes to support our cause." The Times is mistaken in Its Idea that this Journal credited a majority of farmers and wage-earners with favoring free silver. The Trlbuna thinks too highly of their Intelligence to believe that more than a small oer centage are misled by Bryan and organs like the Times. Make Victory Sure. Some desperate work is being done by the Democrats to capture control of the commissioners' office. The fight at the last minute Is becomlmr fierce. Re. publicans are urged to stand by their party. There is danger in concessions to the opposition. The one safe plan Is to refuse to cut the regular ticket. Don t take chances on an uncer tainty. Nothing can be gained by the election of Burke and Demuth. The public could not expect better service In the commissioners' office than It la getting today. It might get worse. In any event there Is no need to turn mat oince into a Democratic headquar ters. It was enough when the city hall was given over for that numow. Tn give the Democrats a grip on the court house besides would be to make doubt ful the winning of another Republican victory in Lackawanna county for years to come. It is not merely compliment. The Republican who per mits himself to be soft-soaped Into scratching the name of one of the Rob ertas In order to compliment either Burke or Demuth takes a rink which might under certain contingencies pre vent the election of another Republi can In this county for many years. We say might, because we hope for a republican plurality for the enir ticket large enough to constitute an emphatic notification that th vntr of Lackawanna are out of patience witn rree sliver and free trade. But this can only be brought about by every Republican remaining steadfast. It is no time to take chances. Make victory sure. A verdict of $18,000 has been given to W. Newbold Ely in his libel suit against the Philadelphia Press. It will be re membered that the Press through the carelessness of a reporter and the ab sence at a late hour of the regular edi tor some time ago falsely charged Mr. Ely with being an embezzler. The next day it not only withdrew this charge and expressed the greatest regret for Its unfortunate appearance, but it caused all the other papers In Phila delphia to print in full Its retraction and explanation. Mr. Ely, however, re fused to accept this as satisfaction for the Injury and brought a civil action In damages with the above result. It Is difficult to see wherein Mr. Ely sus tained $18,000 worth of Injury under the circumstances. As a matter of fact he is easily that much the winner in the matter of free advertising of a kind that would have helped him even more if he had been less keen in his prosecution of a purely teahnlcal offense. In CV.ty Is strength. Preserve the strength of the Lackawanna delega tion to Harrlsburg by keeping it solid ly Republican. A Newspaper Duel. A vigorous and Interesting discussion of the so-called "new Journalism," as typified by the New York World and Journal, is In progress in the columns of the New York Sun. The "new Jour nalism," is new only In lta present In tensity born of unprecedented business competition: In principles It as old as humanity. Its governing ideas are de scribed by one writer thus: "That which Is ennobling and instructive is discarded for the dally record of crime. Indecent spectacles, and prurient ex hibitions. Pages of festering, scandals are reeklngly laid upon the tables of news stalls, and served to the young and old. Murder, rape, arson, seduc tion, nameless physical horrors of hu man device, are llamlngly fashioned with tyjies and pictorial embellish ments for our Impressionable boys and gltls. Nothing Is too shocking, noth ing too Indecent, noihlng too loath some to find Its favorite place'ln these Journals." A correspondent writes to the Sun and wants to know what the public Is going to do about It. Says he: "You can take an anarchistic mob by the neck, so to speak, and choke It till its eyes bulge out, and club it Into obed ience to the law; you can turn the hose on a befouled Individual who has fallen Into the cesspool and stifles a com munity with his awful odor; but how are you going to dam this increasing flow of slime that is being emptied from these Journalistic sewers upon society everywhere? The published figures tell every day, so far as we can believe them, how the vile stream Is spreading over the city. With jubilant tone the fact Is shouted to the world that New York Is every day growing fonder and fonder of the prospect of being sub merged by the tide of journalistic foul ness. And when you look about you In the streets, or In the cars, you And your youth already drinking in the loathsome stuff. It is up to their mouths already." Dr. Dana replies that "the correct ive must be administered by decent public sentiment. That is the only ef fectual remedy. So long as the base and nasty newspapers pay, the pan dering will go on, but it pays only so long as people support It with their de mand. When, too, men and women of social and literary respectability are willing to assist In the prostitution by taking pay for contributions to such a newspaper, signed with their own names, they make themselves partners in tho depravity of the Journallstlo pander, and deserve the same dentin elation which our correspondent so justly pours out on him. Nay, they are more reprehensible, for they help him to give currency to bis Indecency be cause of the previous decency of their reputations. As for himself, he makes and can make no pretence to decency or to conscience. They accept pay for acting as the decoys to tempt the un wary for his benefit; and that Is as low and vile a part as a man or woman can play." This point Is well taken; and yet, men and women whose source of sup port Is the work of their pens must live. They must market their wares. The grocer does not refuse to sell to the prostitute nor the tailor to the gambler. It Is not the fault of the writers If the public will not support decency so well as Indecency. It occurs to us, however, that the very "war" which has called this discussion on, namely, the battle between the World and the Journal for supremacy In the field of journal istic nastlness, offers one hope to so ciety, since it illustrates the instability of newspapers built on muck. Suppose the Journal succeeds in unhorsing the World. Will its own day of doom be long delayed? Meanwhile, the Sun, Herald and Tribune, and the Sun es pecially, proceed as if nothing had happened, and know that they have their audiences so bound to them that competition only strengthens the tie. Glitter and flashiness will always at tract moths; but after all, what are moths worth? It was generous in Mr. Bryan to ask for the release of the young men who threw eggs at him in Chicago, but young men who have no more sense than to throw eggs at political oppon ents need some practical instruction In good behavior. Every Vame on the Republican ticket Is the name of a man fit to be trusted and well qualified for the position for which he is a candidate. It would. therefore, be a wise ecojiomy of time to vote that ticket straight. It is only fair to the Harrlsburg Patriot to say that while it figures out a plurality for Bryan In Pennsylvania of over 33,000, It is not yet disposed to wrest Maine from McKlnley.. A correspondent of the Har.-Uburg Patriot fizures out a plurality of Xi.V.W for Bryan in Pennsylvania. And yet we hear persons claim that there is a dearth of humor In America. After all, it promises to be an equit able division . out West; for while Bryan gets the excitement McKlnley will receive the votes. Don't vote for wall flower represen tatives In the state legislature. Send men there who can do something. Make no change for the worse In the county commissioners' office but vote to re-elect Roberts and Roberts.- Every Republican can feel safe in voting for Kie.fer and Ward for audi tors. They can be trusted. A vote for Klefer and Ward for coun ty auditors is a vote that will never be regretted. The way to make a sound n oney bal lot hit the bull's-eye la to vote it straight. What Wage-earners Shotild Renumber That the dollar which Mr. Bryan says "buys too much" is the same dollar which Is now being paid to American labortng men who were lucky enoug'h not to bo thrown out of their jobs by the Wilson Gorman tariff luw. That the ilollur which Mr. Bryan says is "too good" to be paid to American la bor Is a part of the same currency system that was in use In UK!, when every man had a job and when the United States reached the hlfch-water mark of Industrial prosperity. That Mr. Bryan was one of the men In the llfty-thlrd congress who dcfcnlod "cheapness" as the great end to be sought in our economic legislation. That the principal ground of his attack upon the McKlnley tariff law was the fallacious rlaim that It had a tendency to Increase lh selling prices of commodities. That he has now reverse,! his policy to accommodate the silver syndicate and de clares that things "are too cheap" that tho dollar we have buys too many com modities. That Mr. Bryan has utterly failed to show tn any of his speeches how tho "cheap dollar" for which he clamors will benellt l:'.bor. That the history of the cheap dollar In this and in other oonntrles shows that it degrades and impoverishes labor. That from ISO) to 18'Ji a 4!H4-cent paper dojur raised the prices of the necessaries of life Hi! per cent., but raised wages only 43 per cent., notwithstanding the fact that hundreds of thousands of ir.chuiiiis and laborers were called from the channels of Industry to fiifht for the flag. That the inflation of our currency with cheap money during this period reduced tho purchasing power of all wanes 6n per cent., compared with the gold wages if That In Mexico, where the currency Is on a silver hauls, the average wapres rnncre from 12!i to 2i cents a day In t'tc cltte and on the plantations, while the average compensation for skilled labor Is but SO cents n day. That In the free sliver country of Mexico the rich are very rich, while the wage earners are cursed with on excessive pov erty that permits of no social or educa tional development. That in free silver Mexico the prices of what are deemed In America "common necessities" are so high and wages are so low that coffee and butter and beef are never seen on the tables of the wage-earners, their principal food being a bread made from a routih ground corn. That under the cold standard and a protective tariff wages in this country in creased 28 per cent, from 1S70 to 1890 and their purchuslng power Increased SI per cent. That the free coinage of the silver miners' bullion at 1G to 1 would give no idle laborer a Job and hence would not enlarge the market for the farmer's prod ucts. That the present currency controversy would not have been precipitated If the Wilson-Gorman law had not failed to yield enough revenue to run the govern ment, thereby causing depletion of the gold reserve, distrust of the ability of the government to redeem its notes, lack of confidence, business bankruptcies and panic Times-Herald. A MAN OF THE PEOPl E. From the Moscow Sun, The voter has a right to ask, "What has this man or that man done that I should vote for him?" After he has given this question mature consideration he should go to his polling place and cast his vote for the man who Is of the greatest benefit to the masses. While the fight U going on between the McKlnley and Bryan hosts, sight should not be lost of the con gressional ticket. It has been said, and truthfully so, that a man must be of the common people to know the wants of the common people, and It can also be as truthfully said that in William Connell, candidate for congress, the people can And such a man. Horn In as humble surroundings as most of our readers, he wont to work In the depths of the mine early In life. With the aid of a helpful mate he saved some of his small earnings for nnother day. As time passed he found a place to Invest his little mite Judiciously, probably an Invest ment that the average miner would spurn today. The Investment proved profitable, and from that time to the present Wlliam Connell has been Investing his money In creating Industries to give employment to the common people, until ho is now one of the largest Individual employers in Northeastern Pennsylvania. While Mr. Connell Is reported to be wealthy, still If he had not made his first Investment he might be now working In or about the mines, to It is patent that William Connell Is a man of the common people. What Is more, Mr. Connell's ev ery day life Is that of the common man. Ho meets the miner or laborer with tho same courtesy as he would the most aris tocratic scion of wealth. Instead of ming ling In the society of Newport and New York, he can be found on the streets of Scranton at all seasons, exchanging cour tesies with the people and advancing some business enterprise to help them obtain the necessaries of life. Such a man In Scranton ought to be encouraged and Is entitled not only to the Republican vote, but to the entire vote of the county. WHAT IS AT STAKE. From the Philadelphia Press. No single man will read these lines whose personal condition will not be made worse If Bryan wins Tuesday, If you earn a wage It will buy toss. If you own a savings bank deposit, a life In surance policy or a building association share, half Its value will be gone. If you are in business or dependent on business, such a panic will come as you never saw, wrecking Arms by the thousand. If you own a farm, all you buy will be higher and all you sell In the general depression will have a smaller market und fall In value or rise but little. Lastly and worst of all, as an American citizen you will share In such national disgrace and dls. honor as will begin the destruction of our civilization, our prosperity and our gov ernment. This Is the tremendous stake, and the whole thing will have to be fought over again four years hence, unless the ma jority Is overwhelming. A mere victory is not enough. The Issue must be set tled beyond any peradventure or we are In for four more uncertain years, with hard times grown harder. Iletween now and next Tuesday you can do much. You can helo make "fla? day," Saturday, a tremendous success. Wind un this great campaign with a boom. You can rcn over the men you know, fix on a doubtful man and convert him. Make s'Jre of one vote more. Double your share In the fight. Give your country this service. Help keep this country a tend of honest men who pay their debts, obey the laws and crush riot, repudiation and rebellion at sight. Ijo tills next Tuesday and next Wed nesday read of one more great fight won for the Land, the Flag and Liberty, nil still safe and once again saved from evil and evil men.
