Remembering how some folk said
the coal fields would go for Bryan and
free silver, we wonder what "Pitch
fork" Tillman thinks now.
Bryan's Cry to the Future.
It would be well for the future of
William Jennings Bryan If he were to
recognise the finality of last Tuesday's
verdict In so far as It relates to free bII
ver coinage, the Income tax, and the
Altgeld effort to decentralise the fed
eral government. "The right," he de
clares, "has only Just commenced."
That assertion Is melodramatic, and
will doubtless win the applause of
those who put dramatic Interest super
ior to common sense; but In the three
directions which we have Indicated,
the fight, notwithstanding Mr. Bryan's
theatric declaration, has ended for all
time. The people of the United States
leached their decision on these points
after careful deliberation; they reached
It in spite of bold attempts to muddlo
their Judgment; It represents now a
solemn and patriotic conviction, and It
is not in the power of any man or any
combination of men in the future to
overthrow it.
It is true there ore directions In
which the tight will continue, and In
which Mr. Ilryan. If he will get out of
the Intoxication of bad political com
panionship and sulij'-cl his remarkable
natural gifts to proper discipline and
control, may yet be of usefulness to
the American people. The verdict of
last Tuesday was Bimply and solely a
veto of the Chicago platform. That
platform today stands condemned, and
all of Its vicious planks must In future
)je discarded. The verdict of Tmtday,
however, was uot and cannot be dis
torted into a pronouncement In favor
of government by syndicate and trusts,
nor was it a decision tending to bring
on an era of legislative partiality. The
buttle of the people against influences
and Interests Intent on special privi
leges will follow In future the lines of
the past; representatives of the people
will need to be vigilant and incorrupti
ble1 else they will fall easy prey to the
artifices of lobbyists and the blandish
ments of men who represent the great
combinations. Nothing will be gained
by indiscriminate denunciation; meas
ures as they are proposed In congress
and in state legislatures will need to
be Judged upon their merits, with
thought to the fact that while special
Interest 1 always keep an eye on their
representatives at these public places,
the people rarely do on thelr's.
The cry of cluss against mass used
lately by Mr. Bryan has been repudiat
ed by the American people because
alter Investigation they found It was
n false cry. That cry will not be re
jected by tht people, however, when
it Is made In honesty nnd good faith,
nnd wh.-n there Is reason for It. Any
.thoughtful man who reflects upon this
problem wilt be forced to admit that
there Is danger from the side of aggre
gate! wealth reaching out with grow
ing boldness for a grip on governors
and legislatures and congresses no less
than from the side of the ignorant, the
vicious and the excitable poorer ele
ments In our social structure; and will
be led to agree with Professor Bryce
that the politics of the future will be
largely taken up with conflicts be
tween these two extreme forces in our
public life. Tho future, then, will cer
tainly have its netd of eloquent and
earnest tribunes of the people, men of
bravery, force and fire. But they will
need to be also level-headed men; men
not easily sent astray by fancies; men
with a solid grasp on the practicalities
of life. We should like to see young
Mr. Bryan develop Into such a leader,
but we must confess that we fear he
does not possess the requisite common
sense.
Altgeld assures the public that he
will keep right on. Let him. Out of
office he is harmless.
Emphasizing; the Victory.
It waa not a sectional issue, and yet
the one section which went as a unit
for McKinley had a right to go that
way and would have suffered most
keenly If It had'not done so. We mean
the eighteen states lying east of the
Mississippi and north of the Ohio and
Potomac rivers the states whose In
dustries were struck at when the Wil
son bill was framed and whose loans
It was proposed to return at fifty
cents on the dollar. This section went
solidly for McKinley because the new
Democracy forced it to, In self de
fense. It will remain politically solid
just as long as Its welfare is menaced.
These states, as Walter Wellman
points out, contain four-sevenths of all
the population of the country, a great
majority of the large cities, and five
sevenths of the national wealth. They
have 238 electoral votes, or fourteen
more than sufficient to elect On the
basis of the population, Jan. 1, this
year, each of the 238 electoral votes In
this region represents 168,000 popula
tion, while the 209 votes in the re
mainder of the country represent only
148,000 population each, thanks to the
number of petty states In the far west,
each with two electoral votes for their
senatorial representation. These
northern and eastern states have 32,000
popular votes to each elector, whereas
the states that Bryan carried have on
an average only 21,000 votes to an
elector: If the voting- strength of the
sections In the electoral college were
determined by population, the 18 fore
going; solid McKinley states would poll
252 Instead of 238 votes, and remainder
of the country only 195 votes; If de
termined by the actual number of duly
qualified voters, they would muster
In the electoral college 283 votes against
.164.
"When It is taken Into considera
tion," adds Mr. Wellman, ."that McKin
ley has swept every state of the north
and east by large majorities, and that
Bryan has carried only a part of the
states of the south and west by small
majorities, the full scope of Tuesday's
Victory will be seen to be much greater
than that Indicated by the division of
the electoral vote, satisfactory as that
Is to the friends of good government."
It not only makes the victory look
larger now, but It throws Into clearer
relief the absurdity o( Bryan's notion
that lie can repeat, his struggle In 1900
and win on this year's Hnes.
The market reports are rapidly con
firming the wisdom of the people's
choice. '
With Reference to Doctors.
Something over two weeks ago we re
printed from an exchange an Item re
lating to the cure of one Mrs.' Bense
man, of Miners vllle. Pa., by Christian
Science, so-called, adding thereto a few
comments suggested by the case. We
were subsequently favored by a private
letter from an eminent resident of
Minersvllle, In which he not only con
firms the statement that this lady was
cured by faith, as claimed, but proceeds
in the following vigorous fashion to
carry the war Into the enemy's country:
"It probably has not occurred to you to
ask why there were 43 deaths out of 199
cases of diphtheria treated by the regu
lar physicians in your city from Jan. 1
to Sept. 1, 1896 (see Scranton board of
health records). We could furnish you
with testimony showing that over CO
cases of the same disease were treated
by Christian scientists In Scranton dur
ing the same period, with but one fatal
termination."
We must confess ftiat this is news to
us, as we imagine it will be to the pub
lic; and we cannot restrain some hint
of incredulity In the premises. Certain
It is that we should like to be furnished
with the promised testimony, not only
for our individual satisfaction but as a
matter of valuable public information.
If it is true that Christian science run
keep the death rate of diphtheria down
to one fatality In 60 cases while the best
that medical science can do is to estab
lish a ratio of one In three, It clearly Is
a matter which calls for the widest pub
licity and the most eager and vigilant
Investigation. We offer our columns
freely for the publication of any real
testimony on this point which our
Minersvllle correspondent or any who
thinks with him may be prepared to
submit in evidence.
In this connection we acknowledge the
receipt from some source of an interest
ing pamphlet arraigning the science of
medicine as a monumental fraud, and
citing in support of that arraignment
from 100 to 200 opinions by eminent phy
sicians as to the spurious character of
many of the medical profession's claims.
These citations are marshalled with
great skill and their cumulous force is
considerable. It takes a stout layman
to read with unshaken confidence the
many slighting and contemptuous re
marks which the chieftains in the medi
cal profession themselves have let fall
about their own vocation. But after all,
whether our doctors be to some ex
tent humbugs or not, they are the only
recourse which we have, and It will not
make for our welfare to rob ourselves
of confidence in their ability and skill,
Unless our Christian science friend enn
show by straightforward and endurable
evidence how we can safely spare them,
the doctors will continue to stand in an
indispensable relation toward the com
munity, and little would be gained by
wantonly clipping their wings.
We always thought the theory that
we could carry Texas predicated too
strongly on Its common sense.
John Brown's Daughter.
On rage eight of this Issue appears
an entertaining article describing the
celebrated snake dance of the Moqut
Indians. Its author, Major Horatio N.
Rust, spent twenty-five years as an
agent of the United LStates government
among these curious people, who al
most alone among the surviving native
tribes on the North American continent
have resisted all the encroachments of
civilization and retained unchanged
their aboriginal customs.
Apart from the article's Intrinsic In
terest as a valuable bit of ethnological
literature, the present contribution, is
noiable by reason of the personality of
its author. Major Rust is entitled to
attention for other reasons than his long
stay among a picturesque tribe of In
dians. During the civil war he was a
courageous soldier, and prior to it he
was an intimate friend and adviser of
Ccptain John Brown. Although not a
participant In the memorable raid on
Hurper's Ferry, he rendered valuable
assistance to its distinguished sponsor,
and when tragedy laid that patriotic
figure low it was Major Rust who Inter
ested himself In providing for the
martyr's family.
Largely through his instrumentality
the only surviving child of John Brown
his daughter, Mrs. Annie Brown
Adams was placed in possession of a
home in Southern California. This
home was recently destroyed by Are,
leaving the unfortunate woman shelter
less. The appeal which was lately made
for aid in restoring this home has not
yet brought the desired returns, and it
is hoped that this second public allus
ion to the matter will prove more for
tunate. The debt of the people' to the
memory of John Brown cannot be more
appropriately discharged than In sav
ing his sole descendant from penury.
Up in Syracuse an attempt was made
to defeat James J. Belden for congress
by circulating a story that McKinley
was against him, and Belden won by
5,000. Down In Philadelphia the same
story was used against Crow for sher-.
iff and Crow won by 20,000. In neither
case was there any truth in the story;
but the sequel proves how such fictions
react.
Mark Hanna does not want political
office, but the people on the other hand
may insist that his ripe executive pow
ers and cool business ability shall en
ter the next cabinet and that If he con
tinues to protest he shall literally be
drafted as secretary of the treasury.
The best way to reorganize the res
pectable end of the Democracy is for
It to confess the error of Its free trade
ways and seek a permanent Republican
alliance.
If ex-President Harrison will not
have the state portfolio, there's a
mighty good man by the name of Sena
tor Davis.
Inasmuch as. Altgeld, Bryan & Co.
propose to keep up, the fight, hadn't
the honest,' . non-offlqe-seeklng sound
monef Democrats better keep their end
of it up, also, by Joining the Republi
can organisation as permanent re
cruits? By what right, humn or divine, does
Spain lay claim to Cuba? Why does
she fight to keep possession of that
island against the wishes of (he inhabi
tants thereof T The man who will fairly
answer these two questions will have
no need of argument tn favor of im
mediate American intervention in the
name of "Liberty!"
It has taken the state of Kentucky
Borne little time to make up Its mind
on which side its bread is buttered;
but now that the die is cast let It be
kept in the future a Republican state.
Altgeld has Issued a farewell address
in wnicn ne declares nis neattn is oau,
anyhow. When Cat aline was banished
from Rome he remarked that he needed
a vacation.
-
Altgeld says he will "have nothing
more to say on politics for a good, long
time." He cannot make it too long to
suit the American people.
Into each triumph some gall must
fall. Kansas is preparing to Inflict an
other term of Peffer.
Hoke Smith says free sliver Is dead.
There Is a southern ex-cabinet officer
who is ditto.
We wonder how David B. HIU makes
up for all the fun he missed.
Jones says Altgeld defeated Bryan.
He undoubtedly helped.
Work for fhe NeJjf
Administration.
From the Post-Express.
Speaking of Tuesday's election, what Is
the Republican party going to do with the
stupendous victory which it has achieved.'
Turn it to the best account? X"Je it :s
not abusing It? Use it with an eye single
to the conservation of the common wel
fare? Or, becoming Intoxicated by its
own success, .hall the party lose Its head
and forfeit the new lease of confidence
which has been bestowed upon It by the
people? Our party was badly beaten four
years ago, and since then hus shown that
It knows how to make the best of defeat.
It did not become disorganized, it did not
abandon any of Its prnelples nor relax
any of its energies after the election of
ls2. It kept a stiff upper lip and "sawed
wood." Now It has been restored to pow.
er again is it going to be able to stand
prosperity as well as It stood adversity?
Stieh questions are tn order Just now.
McKinley succeeds Cleveland. The Cleve
land administration ha committed a
number of serious errors, from which the
coming administration, whatever may be
its shortromiiiHS, we may be sure will be
free. The McKinley administration will
be in the best sense an American adminis
tration; It will be alfirmutlvely patriotic,
and an administration can be of that sort
without developing Jingoism The Mc
Kinley administration will strive in all
lawful ways to promote the interests of
American worklugmen and the employ,
ers of American workinKifien. Its policy
in this resurd, as outlined in the Re
publican platform upon which McKinley
was elected will be to tax foreign prod
ucts and encourage home Industry, to
uphold the standard wages for the Amer
ican worklngman, to secure the Ameri
can market for the American producer,
avoiding foreign control on the one hand
nnd domestic monopoly on the other.
Regarding protection and reciprocity as
twin measures, under the McKinley Ad
ministration the reciprocity arrange,
ments will be renewed which were re
penled by tho Cleveland administration.
"J'rotcotlon." says the Republican plat,
form, "builds up domestic Industry and
trade and secures otir own market for our
selves; reciprocity builds up foreign trade
and finds an outlet for our surplus."
President Cleveland, to his credit be It
recorded, has been a sturdy champion
of sound money. McKinley led the des
perate fight against the sliver heresy, so
the friends of honest money know be
yond peradventure that the financial pol
icy of the country after the fourth of next
March will be a thoroughly satisfactory
one will be sound and stable, A stren
uous effort was made while the canvass
for the presidential nomination was in
progress to show that McKinley was not
orthodox on the money question. He paid
no attention to the attacks and little or
nothing was heard of them after he waa
nominated. In his trenchant Canton
speeches he demonstrated that he was as
thorough going a sound money man as he
was a protectionist, and the voters need? 1
no other assurance. A refeience to the
Republican national platform shows that
the McKinley administration can also b
counted upon to do its best for our mer
chant marine; to insist that the Nica
ragua canal shall be one of Uncle Sam's
own properties; to stand by the Monroe
doctrine in Its integrity; to back the cause
of Cuba; to favor an adequate navy and
a complete system of harbor and seacoast
defenses; to protect our own people
against the evils of unwisely unrestricted
immigration; to create a board of arbi
tration to settle differences between em
ployer and employe engaged in Interstate
commerce.
o
There are the leading principles and pol.
Icles of the Republican party today, as
enunciated at St. Louis and endorsed by
McKinley In his letter accepting the pres
idential nomination. A platform has been
wittily defined "as something to get on,
but not to stand on," but McKinley does
not regard it thus lightly. He takes it
seriously. When he wrote In his letter
of acceptance that he endorsed the plat
form he meant what he said, for he Is a
man of sincerity. So, in view of his lev.
elheadedness, his ripe and varied experi
ence and his genius for getting on tho
right side of cardinal Issues, the best
things are to be reasonably expected of
his administration. He Is committed to
a body of admirable principles and pol.
lcies and- can be trusted to curry them
our faithfully and efficiently.

MAKKED ENTERPRISE.
From the Industrial News.
The Scranton Tribune exhibited mark-id
enterprise In receiving and printing the
election returns on Tuesday night. The
large stereopticon screen on Linden street
was used to display its bulletins and a
great crowd watched the returns with
eager interest. An edition was on the
streets at midnight giving the correct
general results at home and throughout
the country, and there was such a de
mand for the extra that the edition was
soon exh'austed. At S:t) a second edition
was put out which gave enough returns
to indicate the clean sweep made by the
sound money hosts, while the regular ed.
tlon at 8 a. nr. contained as complete re
turns from all over the United States as
could be obtained at that hour. The en
terprise of The Tribune management is
commendable and ranks It among the
leading Journals of the country.
IMPItOVES WITH AGE.
From the Plttston Guxette.
Along with tho tide of compliments
poured upon our townsman, L. P, Hoi
comb, chairman of the Republican county
committee, for magnitlcent campaign
work, which even our friends, the enemy,
are willing to concede, places old Luserne
firmly in the Republican column, we must
also recognize the good management
which characterized the campaign in our
neighboring county of Lackawunna,
whose majority for McKinley and Hobart
overtops that of our county. We extend
most cordial congratulations to our
friend, John H. Thomas, chairman of the
Lackawanna Republican committee. He
won his spurs years ago for rare executive
ability and successful campaigning, and
like good wine, seems to Improve with
age.
AN EXCELLENT SELECTION.
From the Philadelphia Press.
William Connell, who has Just been
elected to congress from the Lackawanna
district, seems to know how to do things.
He has nearly 8,0uo majority, about three
times as much as was ever before given
in the district. Mr. Council's nomination
was not received with enthusiastic fa
vor by the Hon. Joseph A. Scranton, who
since the organization of the Lackawanna
district and until this year enjoyed a mo
nopoly of the Republican nomination, but
it does not appear to have had any effe?t
on the vote. Mr. Connell Is exceptionally
popular with the people of Lackawanna,
who very generally have more or less
personal acquaintance with him. He is a
practical business man and will make
a most excellent representative foi the
district.
THEY CAN BE TRUSTED.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Oh! yes; Jefferson was right. The peo
ple are to be trusted. They can govern
themselves. And Lincoln was right. The
people cannot be fooled all the time. And
the country is all right. The foundation
has been laid for business in restored
confidence.
WILL NEVER BE OLD ENOUGH.
From the Times-Herald.
A contemporary suggests that Mr. Bry
an's youthfulness militated against him.
No man with his political principles ever
could be old enough to serve as president
of the United States.
UK.T DOW V TO BUSINESS.
From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
The country has had a big dose of pol.
itlcs since midsummer. The holiday sea.
son and preparation for 1OT will soon be
at hand. Let us now have a big dose cf
business.
OOESN'T SPOIL HIM.
From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
Victory doe. not .poll Major McKinley.
He seems to be a. modest and gentle in
hi. hour or triumph a. he was in itll the
conflict of the campaign.
SO DIFFERENT.
Election In over; we know the fate
Of the fellow who posed a. a candidate.
That he knows It himself Is plainly aeen
By liia altered acts and change of mien.
No longer he see. you from afar,
Comea up with the deadly twofer cigar,
To grasp your hand with Jovial Jokes;
Inquire of your health and all the folks.
Now, when you meet him, perhaps he
stops.
But he's lost an interest in your crops.
The size of your bogs and the price of hay,
Hut he makes excuse to get away.
He may ahake your hand aa you meet
next week
And a mouth afterward make out to
-apeak.
As the days glide on In their silent Mow,
Collier and colder the candidates grow,
And, when the snow begin, to fly,
Xhev never rpeak as they pass by.
