The statement that Colonel Quay Is
not for Wanamaker for senator can
hardly be called news.
Thanksgiving Day.
It Is In no narrow partisan sense of
merely superficial jubilation that the
commemoration of this distinctively
American holiday is this year ap
proached by a larfre majority of the
influential and respectable citizens of
the republic. Their sense of thankful
ness is devout and genuine, and while
Jt gives grateful heed to the accus
tomed blessings vouchsafed by a kind
Providence, It is especially keen and
earneBt in recognition of the escape
which has come through that Provi
dence to a great government from
peril9 that lately menaced its peace,
its progress and, as many believe, its
Very life.
We nre glad trat the exercises of this
day nre to be given over very generally
to themes of patriotism. Whatever
may be each individual's debt to the
Supreme Destiny which watches over
human affairs for health and strength
and happiness, and whatever may be
each Individual's duty In way of per
sonal recognition thereof, the collect
ive debt of the American people is no
how more fittingly discharged than by
fledlcatlon of renewed energy to the
mfeguaullng of American institutions
jnd to the solving of the great social
ml political problems which have been
nlloted to Americans to solve. The loss
which would fall upon civilization
should the citizens of this great re
public fall short of human possibility
in their effort to work out human lib
erty and secure an equitable distribu
tion of human privilege and human
rights is something which the Unite
mind cannot calculate. Here, without
doubt is the theater on which the cli
max of the drama of civilization must
be reached If reached at all, and as we
lift our prayers of thankfulness today
to Him who has saved us from one
recent crisis let us not forget to peti
tion for strength to meet and master
the crises of the future.
IiiFtory teaches that no nation ever
remained great which did not bow to
nn Ideal of rellglou worship. On this
day, then, let every American who has
regard for the welfare of his country
participate with reverence in some
:orm of church service calculated to
tlr the fountains of human emotion
nnd to quicken the pulses of good citi
zenship. Let it be not America for the
church, nor each for himself; but the
church for America and America for
all deserving mankind!

A Business Man's View.
The speech of ex-Governo? Roswell
P. Flower at the Democratic club din
ner in New York Tuesday night was nn
interesting deliverance In View of Its
bearing upon the future of what Is now
know n as the Sound Money Democracy.
It is also Interesting as voicing a gen
eral recognition of the fact that back
of llryonlsm are just grievances) which
must In time be 1 ighted If our govern
ment is to endure. Upon this point
Governor Flower very pertinently said:
"In the legislation which Is to be en
acted, the results of triumph will not
be lost If the endeavor Is honest nnd
persistent to serve the people, and not
section, class or party. It cannot be
denied that a large part ol the sup
port that Bryan got was due, not to
any particular conviction of the people
on the currency question, or to any
other of the radical planks of the Chi
cago platform, but to a conviction
which has some foundation for exist
ence, and which, growing constantly
during a generation, has naturally
found freer expression during hard
times, that the burdens of government
have not been equally divided and its
privileges not impartially distributed.
It will be the duty of the Republican
party not to aggravate that conviction
by any unwise or partisan legislation,
and to eradicate, wherever possible,
any just cause for grievance. Indif
ference or disregard of popular feeling
in this direction will encourage disre
spect for law and promote, restlessness
and dissatisfaction among the people."
The advice of Mr. Flower to sound
money Democrats to give the Repub
lican administration a fair trial before
seeking to achieve party restoration
is eminently sensible and wise. There
Is no doubt that a basis of permanent
alliance between these two temporary
allies can be found without violence
to the cardinal tenets of either. Such
an alliance would bring a strong fore
to bear In favor of good government
and would be a decidedly economic
conservation of political energy.
If Mr. Bryan can get $1,000 apiece for
his orations he had better stop giving
his volubility away.
Aerial Travel.
So many times has popular expecta
tion been raised high in the matter of
aerial navigation only to be subse
quently dashed to earth that credulity
has all but vanished In this direction.
Tet a seemingly well authenticated
story comes from San Francisco which
is calculated to revive hope of an early
solution of this perplexing yet fascinat
ing problem. It seems that on several
occasion Inhabitants of that city and
Oakland have recently witnessed mov
ing objects in the air thought to re
semble cigar-shaped airships. At first
their testimony was scouted, but now
an attorney of that city, Oeorge D.
Collins, pronounced by his neighbors
a reputable and truthful man, declares
that he has for years acted as the legal
representative of a wealthy Callfornlan
who has spent 1100,000 on secret experi
ments toward aerial travel and has at
last succeeded.
' According to this man's testimony
the new flyer is made of metal, Is 150
feet long and Is built to carry fifteen
persons.' It is built on the aeroplane
system and has two canvas wings
eighteen feet wide and a rudder shaiicj
like a bird's tail. The inventor at a
recent test which his attorney wit
nessed, climbed Into the machine, and
after he had been moving some of the
mechanism for a momtnt. Mr. Collins
saw the thing begin to ascend from the
earth Very gently. The wings llarped
slowly as It rose, nnd then a little fast
er, as it began to move asalnst the
wind. The machine was under perfect
control all the time. When it got to a
height of about ninety feet the Inventor
shouted that he was going to make a
series of circles and then descend. He
immediately did so, beginning by mak
ing a circle about 1C0 yards in'di;imi ter.
and then gradually narrowing it until
the machine got within thirty feet of
the ground. It then fil straight down,
very gracefully, nnd touched the tarth
as lightly as a falling leaf.
On another occasion, so the story
goes, the Inventor started nt Oroville
and Hew sixty miles In a straight line
directly over Sacramento, and nfter
circling about thut city for a time took
another little spurt of seventy miles to
San Francisco, landing on the Oakland
side of the bay. The explanation given
by Mr. Collins for withholding the In
ventor's name and keeping back other
particulars is that the patent riulits
are not yet secured. While this narra
tive by itself would appear somewhat
fishy, the fact that It goes only a little
way beyond known possibilities gives
It a heating. The air ship It Is conceded
will come some day. Why not now?
The Wnnamnker campaign bureau at
Philadelphia has arranged to organize
sub-bureaus In about a dozen Interior
cities, Wilkes-Earre among the nuin
b.'i, but Scranton Is passed coldly by
Why is this thus?
Republicanism's Duty.
The Philadelphia Record arraigns the
Republican pnity for passing legisla
tion favorable to the creation of trusts,
and says: "Trusts grow upon the body
of Protection as naturally as apples
grow upon apple trees. The way to de
stroy the trusts is to cut olT the tariff
provisions upon which they subsist;
and there Is no other way to Jo It."
The Record has no right to credit
Protection with fostering trusts. Kng
land, where tariffs are for revenue ex
clusively, Is plastered over with trusts.
The proper theory of Protection Is just
enough tariff to put foreign made goods
plus the duty on a level as to price In
the American market with the home
made article. This prevents extortion
at homo and also keeps the home work
shops busy. This Is McKinleylsm. It
will also be McKlnleyism to cut the
tariff on any article exclusively con
trolled by a trust which uses its mo
nopoly for the robbery of consumers.
Upon this point prescient Republicans
are agreed. They cannot afford either In
justice or for expediency to let their par
ty yoke up or appear to yoke up with
financial combinations which rest un
der general public suspicion.
The Tribune repeats; The Republi
can party can leave to demagogues
the work of shouting out promiscuous
and undiscrimlnating abuse of capital,
but It cannot afford ns a party to Ig
nore the very evident desire of the
public for effective reMef from abuses
of corporate privilege. It must prove
by judicious deeds the utter falsity of
the claim that it has narrowed into a
tool of the great moneyed interests of
the land.
It is nmuslng to observe with what
gravity the Philadelphia Press defends
the Brooks law ngainst amendment
and assumes that the general public
regards that law as well-nigh perfect.
Early Recognition for Cuba.
The New York Journal has done a
good service In polling prominent sena
tors with reference to the likelihood of
congress passing a Joint resolution
making It mandatory for the president
to recognize Cuban Independence. Trie
majority of those who have responded
to Its Inquiry answer In an evasive and
Indefinite fashion, but there is one re
sponse which goes directly to the mark.
Says Senator Call, of Florida, who Uvea
within a day's journey of the Cuban
coast: "I favor congress passing a
joint resolution requiting the United
States to take action to terminate the
war In Cuba, recognize the Independ
ence of Cuba and such other action as
may be expedient to this end."
Messnges of similar Import were re
ceived from Senators Morgan, Blnnch
ard, Tillman, BInckburn, Allen. Kyle,
Bacon, Pnscoe and Proctor. Senator
Allen not only would vote for a joint
resolution recognizing the complete In
dependence of Cuba, but he would also,
if necessary, vote to pnss such a meas
ure over nn executive veto. Hero is a
sufficient nucleus of senatorial friendli
ness for Cuba to warrant the belief that
something decisive may be expected
soon after the reassemblage of con
gress. Popular patience with the ex
ecutive's inertness Is well-nigh ex
hausted. There Is an unmistakable
feeling among the people that If the
United States Is ever to act In o man
ner to give hope nnd encouragement
to '.the struggling Cubans now Is the
.proper time.
The statement Is made by a leading
country representative that he will fa
vor a $2,000,000 state appropriation for
good roads even if this sum has to be
taken from the University of Pennsyl
vania and . the state normal schools.
This Is a narrow view to take of a
broad question. Oood roads nre need
ed, but so are good schools. This rich
old commonwealth ought to be made
to provide adequately fur both
The License Problem.
A bill has already been drafted for
presentation to the next legislature
amending the Brooks law by transfer
ring control over licenses from the
judges of the county courts to a state
commission, and also framing regula
tions as to the hours of opening and
closing and other matters which ore
to be uniform throughout the state.
The state is to be divided into ex
cise districts, with one deputy com
missioner to each district. Through
this deputy all applications for license
must be made and hla recommenda
tion in ordinary cases is to govern the
grat Mng of the license by the chief
commissioner. In other words, the
amendment Incorporates the principal
features of the Raines law of New York.
There Is a division of opinion as to
what effect such a change would have.
The Phlladelidila Press, for Instance,
claims Pint It would put the saloon
into 'politics and the 'Philadelphia Bul
letin, on the other hand, says It would
take It out of politics. It would doubt
less 'o neither. So long us the stnte
exercises supervision and" enforces re
strictions upon the saloon, no matter
what the system, the saloon will be
in politics. It Is in politics now, and
very much in. The change would not
plunge it in any deeper. It would
merely take a dirty Job otT the hands
of Judaea and put it on the hands of
a set of nun specially employed for
that pi t po.-e. It would leave the bench
free to perform with some upprunch
to impartiality ami fairnetu the larger
and more Important duties of its high
olilie without smutting its ermine with
the Inevitable .mall polities w hich duos
so much under the present system,
nrwlnst the I'rnin it ma:- be of the
judges themselves, to determine who
shall get licenses and who shall not.
In Fpcaklnyr of this latter poli.t the
Philadelphia Bulletin truthfully re
mcrks: "It is nn open secret that a
judge's attitude in the matter of grant
ing or refusing licenses has often been
potent in his subsequent election or de
feat. It Is positively known that sev
eral excellent Justices have been un
nble to secure a re-election because of
their unwillingness to be coerced Into
the granting of an undesirable license."
If this be true In Philadelphia, where
the bench is supposed to occupy nn
especially lofty and non-partisan atti
tude, how much more true must It be
of Interior counties where candidates
for the Judicial office have been known
to be forced by the exigencies of party
politics not only to make secret treat
ies with large brewing Interests but
also, upon rare occasions, to make ac
tual personal canvasses of the sa
loons for votes.
Let us venture to do what we can to
life the courts up out of such neces
sities. It is a consummation worthy of
some sllsht hazard.
The Philadelphia Times addresses a
very sensible editorial to the more
liberal states of the South, Virginia,
Alabama, Tennessee and North Caro
lina, urging upon them the need of
cutting loose from reactionary and rev
olutionary financial policies and the
future wisdom of such an attitude as
will attract outside capital to open up
new Industries nnd develop almost Il
limitable natural resources. It Is a
timely plea strongly worded and ought
to do good.
According to the Tlmei-Herald.
' when the south demands a national
election law that shall work equitably
throughout the union, a low In which
they shall have a part In making and
under which they will receive the most
substantial benefits, then such a law
may be passed by congress and ap
proved by the preseldent. But It will
not come until then. The south must
take the initiative." Do thieves, as a
rule, take the Initiative against theft?
Looking at It from still another stand
point, the McKinley states contain 4,
006,841 wage-earners In manufacturing
Industries who were, in 1890, paid $1,999,
5fi9,2r9 In wages, while In the Bryan
states only C20.449 men were thus em
ployed, and they received only $267,
962,221 In wages.
In the recent election the city of
Chicago cast 19,038 more votes than all
the silver states combined, and 6,000
more than all the Gulf states com
bined, omitting Texas. Yet Chicago
supplies only 6 electoral votes, and
some folks claim the electoral college
is above amendment.
Three antl-St. John votes were east
In Kansas at the recent election to one
vote for the ticket supported by the
former high priest' of the Prohibition
party. This prophet seems to be los
ing ground both at home and abroad.

A NATION'S THANKSGIVING.
For .McKinley.
For the Tribune.
In a shadow nf dreams I lingered,
It seemed like a hall of prayer;
Ami lute stiimrs so softly llnsered
Were banishiiiK every care.
A hush, such as God only giveth
Had rovuled the mystical place,
And a hovering, holy pinion
Thanksgiving hail penciled in space.
Then slowly a portal opened,
A room of grandeur nnd state,
And I saw a royal lady,
Heslde her, n man newly great,
"I made you the choice of the people,
My gift is the pride of a world.
This casket I tender so gladly.
With patriot's tears was impearled.
"The rubles that gleam In the cover
Were heart drops from dying and dead
Caught up by the widows nnd orphans.
Oh, fadeless the lester they shed;
Inside, on p. rose-thorny pillow.
Is sleeping the Faith of your race;
Imperil one gem of this casket.
And Heaven shall yielJ you no place."
Then gently she guided him onward
And I saw the awe In his face
As they entered a beautiful garden,
Where n sinrle plant held the space
Enthroned in foliage of purple
A stntely corrolla there grew,
So snowy, so Inrnc in dimensions
One wonders if vision be true.
Kurh petal so waxen like folded.
So cunning, so careless the grace,
Aroma the breath of the angels.
When klsslnu the fair, faultless face.
"And this Is the Hope of the nation
This plant Is your own special care;
No other must enter this garden
And you, oh my hero, beware!
"The life pulse that thrills In your bosom
Is blent with each petal of snow,
And gives to the grand waiting nation,
A lov or a deluge of woe.
If blight touch this stainless corrolla.
Your honor, your manhood Is dead,
Oh, better a stone for a pillow
Than glory like thine to have fled."
A loud swelling anthem was ringing,
"Give thanks for our country's new Joy,
Give thanks to o'.;r Father in heaven
For the treasures that holds no alloy.'
And farther and farther the chorus
Was swelling abroad, o'er the main,
"Jehovah, Jehovah, the Highest,
Our Joy has rekindled again."

Hon. George I.andon, of Hcrri' kvUle,
Bradford county, who was a visitor to
Scranton this week. 1 one of the most
brilliant orators in the slate. Mr. Landon
was u member cf the state senate In lS'ii-ft!
and in Pyiti-M. During the presidential
campaigns following the war ho was
among the most noted Republican polltl
e"il on'tors In l'enn .lylvunlti; celebrate J tor
his wit. eloquence ard luuic, and his ser
vices were in great de manil e verywhere.
Tht.aigh the sessions of WW and ISIS, S'.mi
ator l.ainlun was one of the leading spirits
nt Ilarrlfbtirt,, and a brilliant political
career seemed before him. Upon this oc
casion, however, he took a stand la favor
of legislation which resulted in the clos
ing of the North Itrnneh canal. This em
bittered Senator I.ttnelon's constituents to
such tin extent that he deemed it best to
retire from politics at the end of his term.
Mr. Landun Is of Scoeli-Irish descent and
begun life amid humble aurroundliiKS. He
is among the Ideal self-made men who have
helped to make Itradforel county famous
as one of the licpubllcan bulwarks of the
northern tier.
"I've Just figured It out," said Herney
Megurgee yesterday as he added himself
to a group of gossiping citizens on the
Traders' bank corner.
"flguredw hat out?" was the query of
several.
"Why, the reason everybody Is so blamed
peevish these days. Haven't you no

ever I go. In office or etore, I find nearly
everybody there restless and out of sorts.

this and In union they pressed Megarireo

Wade M. Finn, poor tax collector, In ad

It would be interesting to know Just
what it costs to try an ordinary case In
civil court. Myron Kasson figures it out
at $50 an hour and this is possibly not
an exaggeration. He allows $5 an hour
for rent of court house; $11 tor the Judge's
salary; $7 an hour for the twelve court
officers, Including the stenographer, $20
for the Jurors' salary and expenses and
$15 for Incidentals. Add to this the costs
of witnesses nnd attorneys unci it can
be seen that litigation is a very expensive
necessity. It Is the exception rather than
the rule thut the amount Involved In a
case exceeds the cost of trying it.
