Tonight Is Hallowe'en, when the
witches, failles and all manner of
sprites of the air and earth are sup
posed to make merry. In Scranton not
much attention will be paid to them by
society folk, though the Irrepressible
small boy and maiden may be expected
to have their fun out of It. One of the
very few of the Hallowe'en parties an
nounced for tonight on the hill Is that
to be given by Hiss Augusta Arehbald.
A parlor musical to Introduce Mr.
and Mrs. Ernest Thiol, late of New
York cltv, was given by Mr. and Mrs.
R. Moses last night at their home, Kfi
Washington avenue. It was a pro
nounced success musically and soclully.
Mr. ami Mrs. Thiel were assisted by
Miss Katharine Tlmbermnn. contralto;
Miss Jennie Ruckwald, pianist, and Al
fred Pennington, pianist. The result of
the musical was a favorable verdict
upon Mrs. Thiol, as soprano and her
husband as violinist, and makes It cer
tan that they and Miss Tlmbermnn and
Mr. Pennington will be given a hearty
welcome at their public appearance In
the concert to be given by the four In
the Fiothlngham on the evening of
Monday, November !.
The audience which heard last night s
concert vvus a large and enthusiastic

Mrs. Thiele showed herself deserving
of the many encomiums bestowed upon
lier in New York city and elsewhere.
She Is an able artiste and merits the
honors she has shared with piich noted
ones us Miss Alls der Olie, Dr. Maas,
William Sherwood, Professor Schar
wenka and others. The same is true
of Mr. Thiele, who Is one of the few
native violinists of repute in this coun
try. That he was worthy to have been
one of the Mendelsshon Quartette club
and of the Christine Neilson concert
party, which toured this continent and
Australia, was evidenced by his ad
mirable work last evening. Of Miss
Ruckwald's, Miss Tunberman's and
Mr. Pennington's performances, their
worth, already made know n to Scran
ton critiques, applies to their last even
ing's performances.

From thn Rochester Post-Express.
"The types," nays the Scranton Trib
une, "are the real instruments of political
battle; they are Hie grae. the shell, and
the eanisler that lay low the enemy's
forces." It is a truth well phrased. There
has never been a campaign when printers'
Ink did so much and llowed so freely ns
In this, and it Is the little black types that
have done most to riddle the silver "ar
guments." We referred yesterday to thn
wonderful outpour of campaign literature,
unparalleled heretofore, and counterbal
ancing in cost, and probably In efliciency,
all the speeches, and processions, and tiro,
works that the parties, have used. But the
ceaselessly working typos are not content
wllh the piinting of pamphlets. Count
less millions of books and speeches and
leallets are published bearing on the Is.
files nt stake, but even greater tns been
the work of the types in the daily press.
The Republican cause has had no cham
pion more powerful than the newspapers;
the co-operation, for a common end. of the
sound money democratic press with the
Republican press inns boon the most strik
ing and most powerful coalition of tho
campaign. The weakest point in Bryan's
canvass, after the inherent weakness of
the cause, has oen his lack of newspa
per support. He might be ever so Inspir
ing and eloquent mid imposing In the
brief speeches of his strange stumping
tour; but w ithout tho sui noi l and argu
ment of the press, the enthusiasm and
hurrah surely dies away as the crowds dis
perse ; and so It has happened that the Il
lusion has been quickly dispelled by the
dailv bombardment of earnest and re.i
Koniible editorial utterance in the behalf
of sound money.

As a contribution to llnanclal and econo
mic thought the following utterance of
Mr. Bivan. made 111 Kentucky. Is the
most remarkable yet olTered even by him:
if nny mull In this community would
offer to buy all the eggs proilucil at a
cents a doji n and was able to make good
the offer, nobody would sell eggs for 1-ss,
no mutter what the cost of production,
whether 1 cent or coats a dozen. So
with silver. Free coinage would establish
the market price of sliver at (I.L'O, and no
body would roll it for a cent less."
W'hv limit the price of eees to 2T. cents
and of silver to $!.? If the reasoning is
sound, the price in each case might easily
lie doubled, and the consequent benefit lo
the human race correspondingly increased.
And why stop with eggs and silver? Why
not mark up the price of everything you
wish to buy offer to pay double or treble
what Is asked for It. and keep on paying
that price to all comers hold It there?
That's all you have to do hold It there.
"Nobody would sell It for a cent less."
says Bryan, so long as you held It. So
