SCRANTON. NOVEMBER 16. 1896.
The Wanamaker pres9 bureau has
again trotted out the Cameron scare
as a reason why the next legislature
should thrust the senatorial toga 011
the Philadelphia merchant. But It
fopgets that there are other.
That Dunmore Murder.
The facts in the latest local murder
have not been determined with suf
ficient accuracy to warrant the plac
ing of the immediate blame; yet the
stabbing of Itocco Sulvatore at Dun
more Friday night is an Incident suf
ficient, when taken in connection with
others of like character, to give
thoughtful persons pause. It is com
mon to hear such crimes flippantly
spoken of by the majority of Ameri
cans as if they were purely a matter
of course. But anyone who is willing
to look a little below the surface can
readily see that something a good deal
more weighty is at stake in this prob
lem of a growing tendency toward local
homicidal crimes than the effect of such
quarrels unon the Immediate parties
to thorn; and that something more ef
fective In way of remedy is needed than
the starting of legal ferrets on the
trials of the tloeins assassins.
Dnmbrosio, of course, should be
caught, tried and If proved guilty, pun
ished. Hut the accomplishment of this
would scarcely skim the top of the
real dilllrully. We are not going to
pitch into the Italians. Like other
people, sumo of the local representa
tives of thut race are Rood and some
arc bud; but all of them, whether good
or bud, are here among us, have come
here under an invitation covered with
the sunetion of federal law, and th?
problem Is not whether some of them
should have been denied admission, but
whether thoao of us who are blessed
with the hither civic virtues which
come from good education and care
ful training are doing what we can
and what we ought to do to lift the
lower classes of these aliens up to u
level of good citizenship. If we are,
then we may with propriety grow In
dignant at such frequently recurring
violations of law, which clog our crim
inal courts, pile up our court costs
and bring the community's name into
reproach. If we are not, we had bet
ter not forget our own guilt of moral
complicity while straining fur words
with which to condemn the "foreign
ers." We don't know how many thousand
dollars have been spent In Scranton
during the past generation on foreign
missions. How many thousand dol
lars have been spent by these same
good people on missions to educate and
Christianize the home "foreigners"?
The dollar sent to convert the far-off
heathen Is a dollar put to a good and
noble purpose; it Is true philanthropy,
because largely unselfish. But the dol
lar spent on the reclamation of the
home heathen is none the less nobly
placed because its immediate tendency
Is to come buck into the donor's hands
bearing compound interest.
The Paris Temps isn't sure that the
other countries of Europe will subscribe
to Great Britain's view of American
supremacy In the western hemisphere,
but we guess they will.
Our Relations With Spain. .
If the Spanish government rested
securely on uu Intelligent and conserv
ative public opinion there would be
practically no possibility of hostilities
between that government and our own.
But if It rested on such a basis, there
would be today no war In Cuba; long
ago that island would have been ac
corded by the Madrid court such re
forms in colonial administration and
such concessions In home rule as would
have knit the Antillcsian province to
the so-called mother country by bands
of honest affection. This could have
been done with comparative ease. The
inhabitants of Cuba were kinsmen of
those of Spain; only Ignorance, natural
ferocity, arrogance and false pride
stood in the way of an amicable un
derstanding between them. It is these
characteristics of the Spanish disposi
tion and temper rather than any ma
terial new development In the progress
of the Weyler campaign which, de
spite official denials, gives a show of
fundamental plausibility to the tech
nically unfounded rumors now current
at Washington of an approaching
break with Spain.
As the Philadelphia Press with not
able discernment points out, "neither
the administration now. at Washing
ton nor any other wishes the hostility
of any power if it can be avoided. We
have two duties in Cuba one near and
pressing and the other equally clear
but less immediate. We are bound to
protect our own citizens and all their
interests for one thing and for an
other we are bound to use all our in
fluence to restore peace and prosperity
to the island at the earliest moment.
American rights have been flagrantly
attacked and American interests wan
tonly injured by Spain in Cuba, Mak
ing all fair allowance for the exaggera
tion of rumor and the needs of civil
war. It is clear that Spain has failed
in her duty and that Spanish author
Itles have acted in an unfriendly spirit.
Our vessels have been fined on frivol
ous pretexts. They have been boarded
and fired on, harassed and delayed.
American plantations have been rav
aged. American citizens have been
shot. Some have bei and are impris
oned for an Indefinite term without
trial. Our correspondents have been
expelled. The business of our citizens,
their trade, their plantations and their
property have been needlessly injured.
This cannot go on. For eighteen months
the United States has been forbear
ance itself. Our government has no
desire to assert its strength and our
people have none. Our obligations as
a neutral have been scrupulously fulfilled.-
Our citizens, their property and
our vessels must be secure in Cuba,
and Spain mutt rendu tbetn secure.
Secretary Olney is undoubtedly nov
making this clear, with courtesy but
with decision. While urging this view
a prudent government naturally pre
pares for all eventualities; but it dots
so with no desire and no expectation
pf making use of its preparation."
. It Is announced . through, channels
which point to accuracy that the Cleve
land administration, unless forced to
sudden action during the ensuing three
months by sudden and now unforseen
provocation, will remit the whole
Cuban problem to the administration
of Major McKinley. Two considera
tions are cited as contributing to this
decision; one, the Improbability that
in three months so delicate a problem
could be pushed forward to solution;
and. the other, a feeling of deference
by President Cleveland and Secretary
Olney to their successors In adminls
trative command. The latter is cred
itable If true; but with reference to
the former it does not seem that more
than three months ought to be re
quired to frame an executive proclama
tion recognizing Cuban belligerency
As the case stands a war with Spain
over Cuba can only come as a result
of Spanisli passion overleaping re
straint, committing some gross outrage
on American citizenship and afterward,
in sheer desperation, refusing repata
tlon and apology. This Is not prob
able; but it Is possible, and while It
is possible, the United States should
hold itself in readiness for emergen
cies.
Complete returns have been received
in Kentucky and they show a plurality
for McKinley of 257, Bryan getting one
elector. This was a close shave but
next time Republicans will have more
breathing room.
A Proposed Amendment to the
Brooks Law.
Attorney I,. P. Wedeman, of this city.
has prepnred the draft of an amend
ment to the Brooks High License law
which he will seek to have brought be
fore the next legislature. It provides
that there shall be elected upon the
third Tuesday of March, of nach year.
at the time and place of holding muni
cipal and township elections, three per
sons, male or female, of good repute,
over 21 years of age and strictly tern
ptrate In habits. In each borough and
township, and one for each ward In ev
ery city, said persons to constitute a
commission with duties and powers as
follows:
It shall meet at least once each
month and receive, consider, and by a
majority vote pass upon applications
for relief from those In Its district who
afllrm by oath and offer competent cor
roboratlve testimony, or in whose be
half such application shall be made
and reinforced, that they, without
fault of their own, have lost the sup
port In part or In whole of persons on
whom they depend for support, by rea
son of death or disability arising from
tha use of Intoxicating liquors; the
country treasurer to be authorized to
honor such commission's warrants for
either temporary or pemanent relief.
to nn amount not exceeding $8 per
month for any Individual applicant
with such additional sum or sums for
dependent children of such applicant
as the circumstances might requlreand
peinilt. Each commissioner to receive
fit per day for one day each month, but
no other pay, directly or indirectly;
and no person to be eligible to the office
of relief commissioner who is engaged
or interested, directly or indirectly, in
the manufacture or sale of Intoxicat
ing liquors, or who Is addicted to the
use of such liquors as a beverage. Mr.
Wedeman'8 amendment further pro
vides that the surplus money, If any,
remaining In any district from the col
lection of license fees at the end'of each
year shall be set apart as a fund for
the purpose of establishing a district
home for persons who may require such
protection from the effects of the ex
cessive use of Intoxicants, and specifies
that families deprived of the support
of father, mother, sister or brother by
Imprisonment In punishment of an of
fense committed directly or Indirectly
by reason of Intoxication shall come
within the foregoing provisions.
There is no doubt that the purpose of
this proposition is admirable; and that
there Is sound logic in the principle that
a large share of the revenues from the
licensing of the liquor trafllc should
go to the relief of those who are most
Immediately injured In consequence of
that traffic. Whether the foregoing
provisions would work advantageous
ly in actual operation, however. Is an
other matter. We shall have to give
some thought to that point before feel
ing justified In venturing an opinion.
In the meantime, we invite discussion
of the subject.
New York is thinking of adopting a
curfew law, to keep children oft the
streets at night. New York had better
first provide homes for her street waifs.
The Electoral Vote.
The official vote is awaited in both
South Dakota and Wyoming to deter
mine definitely how the electoral vote
of those two states will line up on the
second Monday In January; but pres
ent indications are that both will go
to Bryan. Should this prove true, the
electoral table will stand:

Pinal returns of the popular vote have
not yet been compiled, but McKinley's
majority will not fall below 1.000.000
out of a total vote of between 13,000,000
and 14.000.000, and It may go 200,000
above that mark. Only two presidents
"have ever received a greater number
of electoral votes than McKinley will
receive Grant, who In 1S72 got 292 and
Cleveland who four years ago received
277. McKinley's majority of the papu
lar vote is the largest on record.
Illinois, too. Is having an animated
senatorial campaign. Chicago has two
candidates for Senator Palmer's shoes
Alderman Madden, a local "boss" of
mediocre talents, whose election would
disgrace the party and the State, and
ex-Congressman "Billy" Mason, whose
equipment consists chiefly of his knack
at story-telling. The latest aspirant
to enter the raci Is Congressman Robert
It. Hitt, of Mount Morris, one of the
ablest statesmen In the entire Wes', a
man of ripe experience, and one wh
measures up to every requirement. For
the honor of Republicanism we hope
that Mr. Hitt will prove successful.
President Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor, says that Grand
Master Workman Sovereign, of the
Knights of Labor Isn't worth paying
any attention to. He Isn't far wrong.
The stock lists in Chicago and New
York exhibit a net Increase since Mc
Kinley's election exceeding $70,000,000.
This shows whether or not confidence
hus returned.
Of course If the DIngley bill can be
passed this winter, so much the better.
But if It cannot, look out for an extra
session.
Jtisf a Word or Tu)o
of Castial Mention
Brlnkcrhoof Thorne, he of the mighty
yellow muno and of the redoubtable foot
ballistic prowess, was a niueh-talked-of
Individual ut Athletic park last rruiay,
Hrlnk was not there In propria personu,
as we say In the Herman, but his worthy
substitute was.
Tills Impersonator was the professional
halllst and mixologist of Kosar's Cafe,
Georijo Kerl. Fred Tropp had Invited
Oeorgo to the park In order thut he
mlsht Ket an Idea of tho noble game of
foot ball. The euvens of the high sunooi
and of the School of the I.ikawaniu
were practising near the middle of the
rtjwly limed gridiron. Georgo was muen
Intermted in tho sport and so expressed
himself.
"Come over here," said Fred, "and I
will Introduce you to some of the players."
The unsuspecting Kerl went without
hesitation.
"Wagner! Come her for a minute,"
called out Tropp to one of the high school
players. Wagner came and the following
Introduction took place.
"Mr. Wagner, shake hands with Mr.
Thorr.e. the famous Yale player. Mr.
Thorne will be only too glad, 1 know, to
give the hlkh school team the benefit of
his vttiuable coaching.
Kerl was surprised and confused, but
Wagner was too awe-struck to notice.
Thorne, the foot ball hero; Thorne, the
college Idol, here In Seranton and reu.ly
and willing to teach plays to the Hign
School team, which would enable them to
defeat the Seranton team and to make a
holy show of the Wyondng seminary
Crackajacks. Oh, what Joy. What bliss!
Wagner excused himself ami, in an
instant, the news hud spread, and Kerl
was the admired center of a credulous
throng.
"Uosh! He does look like a wiry chap!
"lxiok at his head, lie looks like a gen
eral."
These and a hundred like comments
were audible. Tha climax cumo when the
pseudo Thorne was asked to put the
tram through Its paces, "Get In your
corners was his novel linlng-up com
mund. "New, let 'er go."
The signal was given, the ball was
passed and a line-bucking play was made,
"What Is your opinion about that play,
Mr. Thome?'' tho anxious captain asked,
"Kr-er-er," stammered the unfortun
ate und perspiring Kerl. "It was pretty
good, but you fellows don't squeezu the
bull hard enough. -That's the main thlnn
in foot bull. First catch the ball and
then squeeze It."
A chorus of rather dubious "thank you,
sirs" followed this bit of valuable ad
vice. Kerl's greatest trouble came, however,
when he was asked to give the full ba"k
some points in punting. His first attempt
reuulted In a collision between his foot
and Mother Karth. At the second
the "gosh dinged bull," as Karl
afterward described It, bounded from his
foot to his face. He excused himself from
a further exhibition on the plea of a
strained back.
To add to the torture, a running fire pf
technical questions and queries concerning
lights of the gridiron was kept up. All
of these Kerl was obliged to parry as
best lie could.
Altogether it was a bad quarter, hour
for' the Imitator Thome. He now avers
that he sees nothing to rave about In foot
bull.
A recent Issue of tho Wexford Free
Press contained a two-column interview
had at the Shelburne hotel, Dublin, by
a representative of that paper with the
Hundley executors, Messrs. Palmer,
Amermuti and Richards. In the course of
it Mr. A merman was asked to give his im
pressions regarding Irish witnesses as
formed during his stay in the Kmerald
Isle. He replied us follows: "The Irish
witness seems to me to be particularly
bright and to have a fund of ready wit
and repartee. One witness In particular,
an old man named Pafldy Cleary, was a
gem. He was, he said, 89 years of age,
being seven years old In the year of the
great snow, 1311, und, considering IiIk
years, had really a good memory. Mr.
O'Connor examined him, and Paddy gave
his answers all right. But when I began
to ask Paddy some questions, most of
them verging on the ground Mr. O'Con
nor had taken Paddy over, Paddy, a weo
bit puzzled, pretended to, or In fact Old,
tire. 'Shure,' said he, in answer to a
question of mine which he could not an
swer, 'my Intellects is all gone,' but he
quickly added, 'but, begorra, sir, maybe
wnen you re as ouid ye'll be twice as stu
pid, so you will.' Pressed further, Paddy
aid, pointing to Mr. O'Connor's brief,
enure it a uu dewn in tho book that gen
tleman has it all.' Questioned as to how
he got a living, Paddy replied, 'On the
credulity of my neighbors." Somebody In
tha background silly added. 'Liko your
self and the other lawyers, Mr. Amor-
man, tor the purpose of somehow ra
moving the Impression that Paddy hud
p bid rren'.orv. h was asked in te
cxamlnatlon 'Paddy, you ore still a
uacnelor, 1 bt'.levelf Paddy 'Yes. sir.'
Now, Paddy, are you ablo to tell me the
names of any of the girls you were court
ing long ago?' I shall never forget tho
expression und tone of Paddy, as, rising
painfully from his seat and hobbling slow
ly across the room, he said, Ow, ow, I
may as well be going after that.' Not
another word would Paddy answer."
Those who saw James Yotine's "Ham-
let" at the Academy here recently may
be Interested in the opinion of his work
held by the Syracuse critics, before whom
he appeared last Friday. Says the Jour
nal: "Whet shall we say of an actor
whose audience remains In the scats to
demand the acknowledgment of Its ap
plause at tne end or the may? As to tha
critics, hah! They never enjoy anything
except the memory of something they saw
years ago before the present generation
was born. But the people who gathered
at the Bastable theater last evening, and
there were many readers of Shakespeare
present, were more than Interested In
James Young. Not unheralded, yet prac-.
tlcally unknown to a northern audience,
Mr. Young came to Syracuse. His pre
tention In assuming one of the most diffi
cult of Shakespearean roles, commanded
attention. That he held thut attention
from beginning to the very end was tho
payment of a high econlum. Mr. Young
I one of the most sensitive, intelligent
and thoughful of young actors that have
visited Syracuse In later years. He held
his audience, which was certainly erttica)
as evidenced by the close following ot
the llr.es by many indivduals. and earned
numerous bursts of applause. To appre
ciate this condition to the full, it must be
considered that Mr. Young has not a com,
landing stage .presence, nor. Indeed, it
his vole of that volume to Inspire awe.
Yet facial expression, earnest effort to
read correctly and rupt appreciation e.l
the part, interested every one. Interest
became sympathy, and then the transi
tion to acknowledgment or tne poss
sion of inherent genius was rapid. This is
not saying thut James Young Is today a
great actor. But it Is safe to say that
be possesses the qualities necessary to the
iking or a great actor In many pans.
Today he is clever and Interesting. A
short time of such earnest effort will work
wonders for betterment In his art. Th
sparing of life and the preset vatlon from
oiscouragement will Insure greauicsi
ThU Is but a prophecy, yet It is bused
on signs that were surely indexed in last
night s performance.
Advices from London tell of the con
tinued success of Miss Sadie K. Kaiser,
tho bright little Wllkes-barro woman
who wrote such sprightly letters to The
Tribune lust year, and who continually
promises more of such letters and then
pleads lack of time. She Is studying with

for her. This would not mean mucn in

Kaiser is busy us a nailer with her

his successor, which will muke three con

in a bin convert ut Canterbury, and she

expects to reach home, and will then give

Suppose that before the scaond Monday
In Jnnuury both Willium McKinley and
Garret A. Hobart should tile or become
disabled; In that cuso what would the
Republlcnn electors do? This, no doubt,
Is borrowing trouble, but still the con
tingency Is Interesting. In 1S72, after the
November election and before the meet
ing of the electoral college, Horace Gree
ly, tho minority candidate, became in
sane. When the electors appointed to
vote for him met they voted for other
candidates, according to their own in
clinations. In that case it made no dif
ference how they voted, a a majority of
Giunt electors hud been chosen; but sup
pose Grant had become disabled, what
woulil then have been done? The Chle-a-
go Times-Herald, in discussing this point,
thinks that some way would have to be
found whereby the electors could be in
structed by their party how to vote, and
to do this either a new national conven
tion would have been called or the old one
reassembled. Hut the liability to such a
mishap Is not large enough to Justify
uneasiness.

capital is a hotbed of rumors. Every day

They make wars on the slightest pretext.
or with no pretext at all. They remove
cabinet ofllcers and fill their places with
out a moment's hesitation. They even
construct cabinets for a president-elect,
who has not as yet seriously regun the
task of forming his ministry. Where or
how these rumors originate is one of the
mysteries of life at Washington. Hut they

poor newspaper correspondent who tires

surfers a lapse of vigilance Intvhleh he is
