Colonel Watres' Candidacy.
The announcement Saturday by Sen
ator Vaughn of ex-Lleutenant-Govern-or
Watres' re-entry Into the field as a
candidate for the United States sena
torshlp adds Interest to an already com
jilicated situation. We say "re-entry,"
because while Colonel Watres never
formally rellnqulscd his senatorial as
pirations of two years ago, his own sub
sequent actions and the talk of his
friends seemed to point to the conclu
sion that he would not persevere In that
dtrection, at lenst for the present.
As we understand Senator Vaughn's
announcement. Colonel Watres, uprin
JfWs return from Europe, will offer him
self as a compromise candidate, aha
while actively canvassing for votes on
his own account, will principally en
deavor to cultivate such an attitude
toward all the more prominent candi
dates that In the possible event of a
deadlock, all may turn to him as au
acceptable solution of the dilemma. In
other words, his candidacy will be for
the greater part a contingent one, and
will depend for success on the failure
of either Wanamaker, Hastings or Pen
rose to secure a caucus majority.
The Tribune would chronicle with
pleasure the success of Colonel Watres'
compromise candidacy should a com
promise become necessary.
It Is amusing to have General Wey
ler tell Americans through the Associ
ated Tress that In Cuba under Spanish
rule there has been entire freedom of
the press. He seems to forget that
American Journalists have had experi
ence with that "freedom."
The Case of Qarman.
Personally John M. Carman, the gen
ial generalissimo of the recent Bryan
campaign In Pennnylvanla, is a likeable
being. We defy any citizen to sit for
half nn hour under the spell of Brother
Clarman's fascinating eloquence and ir
radiating humor around a post-prandial
board without conceiving an ad
miration for the man. His alluring
presence, hi") mellowed wit, the Irides
cent surface play of his fancy, the
fluent variation of his manner from
grave to gay all these lay siege to the
auditor's sympathy find literally com
pel a surrender. Garman in such a
capndty Is simply iminenae. Let us
be just even to the culprit upon whom
we must ply the rod.
Put Garmun in politics la another
ptory. The civil service commission,
it 8oem to us, Is quite In the r!;iht in
its contention that If the state chair
man of a great party In a common
wen 1th like Pennsylvania may be per
mitted to violate with Impunity the law
forbidding the assessment for political
purposes of federal employes na Gar
man violated It openly, boldly, flagit
iously, with the Ironical after touch that
"no excuse for failure to contribute by
those who have received especial bene
fits throuch the Democrat'.? party will
bo ''alld after the victory his been won
without their aid," then the civil ser
vice law and the civil s?rvlcj com
mission might better shut up shop. We
do not think that Garmun at heart Is
vile; we will go further and say he Im
presses us as being, with the foregoing
exception, a notably miM-mannered
end peaceable citizen. Uut we cannot
fir all that overlook liU one oiTc.mihi.
3Lct the law be Invoked upon Ills head,
let the mechanism of justles bo put in
motion on his trail. In other words, let
the lend play.
Thiee years In Jail and a $5,100 fine
w ouM doubtless teach Brother Garman
not again to monkey with Grover
Cleveland's buzz saw.
President McKinley will only have 700
really good appointments to make in
stead of the 80,000 heretofore at the dis
posal of the chief executive. He would
be justified In turning even this small
lot of patronage over to his cabinet and
thus relieving himself wholly of a
thankless task.
Quay and the Next Senator.
A number of journals throughout the
state an? asking what right Senator
Quay has to express an opinion rela
;lve to the selection by the next legis
lature of the man who Is to succeed
, Hon. J. Donald Cameron as his col
league at Washington. It may there
fore be worth while to answer this
question at some length.
In the first place Senator Quay, as
the direct choice of a large majority
of the Republican voters for the posi
tion he now occupies and as the recog
nized leader of his party In the state
with a commission also direct from the
people, has, It would seem, some moral
as well as political claim to consid
eration In this matter. The man who
will succeed Mr. Cameron will be Col
onel Quay's working partner; will
necessarily by virtue of tils position oc
cupy a relation toward the colonel
w hlch would be not only very embar
rassing and very unpleasant, but also
very unsatisfactory so far as the state
itself is concerned, if between the two
men there should not be personal as well
as official friendliness and Intimacy.
The respect due a public servant of ap
proved worth demands that Senator
Quay's personal wishes be not wholly
Ignored in the matter of choosing his
associate and it would demand this just
the name were the senator not in a posi
tion to emphasize his right to speak
on tha subject.
Hut outside of purely personal con
siderations there Is to be recognized one
other fact. Under the direction of
Senator Quay there has been built up
in Pennsylvania a political organiza
tion which, whatever its past mistakes,
has In recent campaigns kept In touch
with public sentiment, remained true
to its part's Interest and been instru
mental In roiling up the largest Re
publican pluralities in the common
wealth's history. The party should be
the lust to wish that organization dis
abled at the time of Its greatest use
fulness by the choice of a senator an
tagonistic to its management and
secretly committed to its overthrow.
The candidacy of John Wanamaker,
It should be plainly understood, has
for Its ultimate purpose the downing
of Quay and the political proscription
of all who have been prominent among
his friends. Does the Republican party
want to see Its ablest political general
overthrown by a man whose only polit
ical recommendation Is bis wlllir.gness
to respond to drafts on the pocket
book?
It Is stated that five Democratic sen
ators have already assured the president-elect
that. If the free silver Re
publican senators try In the next con
gress to tie up a moderate tariff bill
they will vote for such a bill and thus
prevent a deadlock. The silver trust
Is evidently near a bust.
Weyler on the Situation.
To an envoy of one of the American
Press Associations General Weyler, in
an authorized Interview, last week said:
I can assure you that the Spanish na
tion is prepared to make all kind of sue
rilices, both In money and men, as has
been lately proved, to conquer In this un
dertaking ami make Spain's sovereignty
respected before and above everything.
All the money spent and to be spent will
bo Spanish money. Cuba has been asked
for nothing, neither for men nor for
money. Spain does not hold Cuba to ex
ploit her. nor has she had anything from
her for her dignity's sake. Her pride In
her great, national, historical traditions
alone Impels Spain, and she will def-r.d
Cuba und will exhaust her hist dollar
und her last man In so Uolni;. ,
To the question If he believed Presi
dent McKinley would follow the ex
ample of President Cleveland with re
gard to Cuba, he replied:
McKinley represent public wealth and
the producing elements of the United
States, and 1 cannot believe that a man
who so represents the work, virtue and
prosperity of his country can carry out
a poliey which would compromise t lie In
terests intrusted to his talents ami dis
cretion as u public man. Hence, I think
thut McKinley will be guided by a just
and equitable policy, without passion and
with prudence, such as Is counseled by
the Interests of the American people and
the cordlnl relations long existing be
tween Spain and the United Stales.
Asked If American recognition of the
Cuban Insurgents would Involve the
United States In war with Spain, the
general responded:
It would be strange If any act directly
aimed at a recognition of any challenge
of Spain's right of sovereignty here,
which our people look upon aa being be
yond question, did not evoke un explosion
of popular feeling which It would be im
possible to cheek, cxelted and ardent as
public sentiment Is now on the Cuban
question In Spain.
Fnally the correspondent asked Gen
eral Weyler If he would agree to a
truce In order to bring about an ex
change of views between himself and
the Cuban leaders. He answered: "It
Is not possible, since such a step would
give them an Importance which I can
not concede to them."
These extracts from a long Interview
reveal the man. They reveal him as
a typical Spaniard, proud, overbearing,
contemptuous of the rights of others
and arrogant to an Insufferable degree.
The person who reads the foregoing
words from his carefully prepared
statement to the American people
needs no other argument to convince
him that Cuba has a moral right to be
freed from such rulers and that It is
the moral duty of this free government,
reperesentlng as It peculiarly does the
inalienable rights of man and the ded
ication of the American hemisphere to
republican Institutions, to come down
from the high perch of cowardly neu
trality and take off Its coat, if need
be, for the little brother who is being
wantonly and maliciously abused.
The cold wave comes just In time to
fortify the so-called coal trust against
the attacks of Dr. Parkhurst.
Treasury Remedies.
The improbability of the passage of
an adequate tariff bill at the approach
ing short session of congress and the
certainty that the present bill will con
tinue to return monthly deficits have
called forth a volume of suggestions
as to how the breach can be bridged
until President McKinley can convene
the succeeding congress In extraordin
ary session. Senator Chandler, for ex
ample, favors the issue of a short term
loan, to be paid just as soon as the Re
publican party obtains full control of
the government and can pass a meas
ure which will not only afford protec
tion to American Industries but will
produce revenues sufficient to meet
current expenses, and, at the same
time, reduce the national debt.
As against this proposition the alter
native of Senator Quay appears In fa
vorable contrast. He would have con
gress at once safeguard the treasury
by enacting a measure for the retire
ment of the greenbacks; not by paying
out gold for their redemption, but simp
ly replacing them with United States
notes that shall be payable In gold at
the option of the government. These
notes, he maintains, would circulate
the nme ns so much gold, and the faith
of the people In the permanency of the
government and Its ability eventually
to pay all its outstanding .indebtedness
and redeem every note which it has
ever Issued, would render them as de
sirable as gold coin itself. They would
be used by the banks, he is confident,
to maintain their gold reserves, and In
the ordinary course of business, when
the government revenues were on a
par with or in excess of its expendi
tures, would be redeemed at the treas
ury and sub-treasuries whenever pre
sented. The express condition upon
their face, however, "at the option of
the government," would prevent any
raids uiion the treasury such as have
been witnessed during the present ad
ministration, and tho "endless chain,"
of which so much has been heard since
the government has been required to
Issue bonds to maintain Its gold reserve,
would no longer exist.
The Washington Post has undertak
en to sound the present conjress on
Senator Quay's proposition. It reports
the few congressmen now In the capi
tal who have made a study of financial
legislation as belnz for the most part
In favor of it, and fays quite a num
ler are Inclined to think that a meas
ure of that sort would receive the votes
of a majority of the members of the
present house. "The objection," it adds,
"that ran be conceived to the plan
would naturally come from the people
who arc willing to see the government
kept in continuous straits for money
in order that they may profit thereby."
We don't think "these people" wltl
receive much consideration from the
Republican members of the present or
the next congress. The merit of the
Quay plan Is that it would not lead to
currency contraction nor involve an in
terest charge. It is the common sense
way out of an awkward dilemma.
We agree with Newspaperdom that
the "special edition" has. upon the
whole, become a nuisance. There are,
of course, exceptional times when It
Is justified; but In the main that paper
gains the best results, both for Itself
and for its patrons, which practices
uniformity und keeps always at work.
The. Tribune one year ago abandoned
the Idea of a special Christmas issue
with Its bill poster advertisements lost
ill a mass of unread pages, and It
proposes to keep clear of such editions
in future. To the merchants of Scran
ton who appreciate good service it of
fers at reasonable rates select space In
its tegular IsvUes, and assuies them
that money thus spent will not be
wasted.
In Germany there Is a law which
holds the newspaper as well as the ad
vertiser responsible for statements
made In advertisements. The Medical
Record thinks that we need a similar
law in the United States. We don't
recall that the subject has ever been
tested, but we Incline to the belief
thut an American newspaper which
prints advertisements calculated to help
the advertiser to secure money under
fulse pretences may now be sued
for civil damages. We don't see why it
shouldn't.
A Paris correspondent of the Sun ex
plains the recent removal of Bishop
Keane from the rectorship of the Wash
ington University by saying the Vati
can was told that he was lax In In
terpreting and Inculcating church dog
mas and decrees, and that his teachings
tended to "make a different Catholicism
for Americans from that of Europe and
Rome." Is that a crime?
The statement of a New York clergy
man that in that city there are 50,000
unfaithful husbands and wives may
not be numerically exact, but before
getting mad at it the good people of
Gotham had better make sure that it
isn't even anywhere near true.
According to the Sun, Grover Cleve
land is the "prime promoter of social
hatred and plutophobla In the United
States." This was true once, but fair
play for Grover; he got over it.
There Is no better advertising med
ium In Northeastern Pennsylvania
than The Tribune. Its circulation has
both quantity and quality.
Jtisf a Word op Tuto
of Castial Mention
An Interesting explanation of Senator
Quay's hostility to John Wanamaker is
offered by William 10. Curtis in the Chi
cago Record. According to Mr. Curtis it
is largely due to Incidents in the presi
dential campaign of 1W2. "Mr. Wana
muker," expluins Mr. Curtis, "had no of
llclul connection with the Republican or
ganization, but was frequently In consul
tation, and secured from the literary bu
reau of the Republicans contracts for n
lurge amount of printing, which were
given to un establishment owned by Mr.
Wanamuker In Philadelphia. At the close
of the campaign the nutlonul commit
tee found Itself heavily In debt, and, after
carrying on negotiations for several
months. Senator Carter, tho chairman,
Mr. Manlty, the secretary, Mr. Bliss, the
treasurer, and Senator Quay, who acted
as a general udvlser, succeeded in effect
ing a settlement for about 30 cents on the
dollar with all the creditors, and Mr.
Miss, Thomas Dohin, of Philadelphia, and
the late. Jesse Sidiuman furnished the
money to puy them. Their contributions
amounted to about 125,000. After the ac
counts of the committee were closed and
the papers and books sealed up In tin
boxes and stored away Mr. Wanamaker,
who was postmaster general, came in with
an account of 113.000 from his printing
company and demanded Its payment, in
full. He also insisted that tho committee
should make good $10,000 which he had bor.
rowed of Mr. Durbln, of Anderson, Ind.,
for the use of the Republican committee
of thut xtat?. The latter was one of the
most remnrkable Incidents in the cam
paign. Shortly before the election Mr.
Wanamaker happened to be In Indiana,
nnd the chair'man of the state committee
Impressed him so forcibly with the Im
mediate need for funds that Mr. Wana
maker personally borrowed flO.000 from
Mr. Ii'irbin's bank and turned It Into tho
treasury. It appears, however, that after
his zeal cooled, he considered himself
acting on behalf of the national commit,
tee, und advised Mr. Durbln to look In
that direction for his payment. The cu:n
rnlttee having authorized no such expen
diture; or Indebtedness, repudiayd the
mil. suction, and there were some heated
Interviews nnd spicy correspondence be
tween Mi. Wanamaker and the officials
of the committee, who finally turned over
tno matter to Senator Quay f.jr settle
ment. Mr. Quay has never told his side
of the stury. and Mr. Wanamaker has
never told his. but these two eminent
Pennsylvanluns arc not friends."
Manager James L. Kerr, of the Froth
iiiKham. Is a gentleman who does not seek
newspaper notoriety; yet it is no more than
fulr that a word of appreciation should be
spoken In public for the marked Improve
ment in service and methods which he has
Introduced in the theater in question since
he assumed personal management of It.
Mr. Kerr's Idea of the theatrical business
Is that It should be conducted with pre
cisely the same legitimacy, discipline over
subordinates and personal dignity that
one would expect in the management of
a coal mine or a steel mill. In his judg
ment the day of the bibulous and gusfilng
theatrical manager working on hypnotic
Influence and northeast wind has gone
by forever, and the time Is ripe for strict
ly business principles and methods In the
show business. He has striven to Intro,
duee this Idea Into the eleven theaters
which Wagner & Hels control and of which
he Is supervising manager, ami one cannot
talk with him for any length of time with,
out feeling that he possesses the executive
ability and determination of character to
make his Ideas felt.
Of the whist tournament at Elmlra to
night the Advertiser says: "It Is report
ed, though tho report lacks verification
unci Is Improbable, that IJInghamton Is
waking up and Is dreaming of a challenge
to the winner. It would betoken a deep
and wonderful Interest In the game if It
has actually stirred the village midway
between here and Scranton. The Scran,
ton team Is made tin of some men who
have played In the national tournament
of the American Whist league and have
some experience of conteita which Is of
value In steadying playe.s. The whist
devotees are hoping to form a small lit
tersate league as the result of the next
match, and whether they win or lose the
8cranton players are certain to meet gen
tlemen who will entertain them charm
ingly and make their stay In town most
agreeable."
Says the Philadelphia Press: "The
mere rumor that Judge W'lllard would re
sign his place as one of the Judges of tho
Superior court sturted up ambitions all
over the aiate. There are several men
tioned by t.aine such aa Judge Hender
son, of Crawford, and Judge Gunnison,
of Erie who are to be caudldates for the
place. Meantime, whatever may be Judso
Wlllard'a Intentions, he haa not yet re
signed, and the governor cannot be ex
pected to make an appointment until
there Is a vacancy. Those who know
Judge Wlllard and his usefulness on the
Superior court bench will hope that he
haa no Intention of resigning. It la did
he does not like the way tho court la
compelled to travel about the state under
the law, but that may be remedied befarg
a treat while."
General Edwin B. ISyington, of the Le
high Valley Railroad compuny's executive
force, or "By," as he is more familiarly
known, who is soon to retire because of
fulling health from the position of West
ern Passenger agent, has many friends 111
Scranton, made when he occupied the po
sition of Uenerul Passenger agent, with
headquarters at Bethlehem. He never vls
lta the city without ieelvtng cordial
greetings from them, the last occasion
being during the Knights Templar con
clave. Mr. Bylngton's successor, Augus
tine A. Heard, was formerly General Pas.
aenger agent of tho Northern Steamship
company, and In that position exhibited
qualities which speedily led to his pro
motion. It seems from Saturday's Republican
that ,80 Innocent little personal note in
this column Friday gave the senior pro
prietor of that journal great offdnce. In.
asmuch as neither his name nor his pa
per's name was In any way brought into
our reference to an episode which, IX re
ported In full, would simply add to the al
ready long and well-known record of Mr.
Scranton for rank and scurrilous ingrati
tude, it Is charitable to assume that Broth
er Joseph, when he wrote his little screed,
was himself In the condition he ascribed to
Mr. Thayer.
According to the census of 1890, Bing
hamton has 35,000 population. It also has
three daily newspapers. Within two
weeks, so an announcement goes. It Is to
have a fourth. The newcomer Is to be a
morning paper, and therefore will have
to compete with the well-established Re
publican, which sells for a cent. There
may be population enough In Binghamton
now to sustain four newspapers, especial
ly if the new one Is so much better than
the old ones aa to command a field of 1U
own. But to an Impartial onlooker tho ex
periment seems venturesome.
POLITICAL POINTS,
There are worse pastimes than cabinet
guessing.
There are some persons ready to wager
thut Wanamuker's name will not be en
tered before the senatorial caucus.
The suggestion of Hon. Galusha A.
Grow for secretary of the Interior doubt
less originates In a wish to compliment
this grand old man. But Just the same
he would make a good one.
The latest senatorial gossip Is that Silas
W. Pettit, of Philadelphia, will be brought
out by Senator Quay as u compromise
candidate. It gains no credence, how
ever, among well-Informed politicians.
The ambitious country combine which
was organized to defeat Boyer has
dwindled down to two members, one of
whom hus no strength. It is doubtful If
the caucus will be called upon to con.
slder any other name than Boyer's.
It Is understood that Thco. Hurt will
bo Plttston's next postmuster If Hon.
Morgan B. Williams can Influence the up
poititment. Mr. Hurt hus served the party
through thick and thm and if mil deserv
ing were the test, he might well aspire
fur higher.
The election of Hastings to the senate
and tha elevation of Wulter Lyon to the
governorship would give Northeastern
Pennsylvania a good geographical claim
to the gubernatorial nomination in 18114.
This fact has not escaped the friends of
e-Congressman. Ielaenrlng.
It Is an Indication worth noting, as N.
E. Hause writes to the Hawley Times,
that Treasurer Haywood, Auditor Gen
eral Myll.i, State Chairman Klkin, Lieu
tenant Governor Lyon and Btute Sena,
tor McCarrell, all staunch and devoted
friends of Quay, with others, favor Hast
ings for the senate.
Tho long-looked-for flag of truco In the
war of the Philadelphia factions hus ap
peared at last. Mayor Warwick has mode
up with James Mo.M lines and withdrawn
opposition to the appointment of Mc
Mancs' friend, Audenried, to tho common
pleas bench. Look out for further sur
prises along this line.
Some objection has been raised that the
next Republican state convention, with
its membership of 358 delegates, will be
too lurge. Nonsense. The more the mer
rier. Out In some of the western states,
noiably Illinois, a state convention Isn't
thought a convention until It numbers
over 1,009 delegates. Besides, the oppor.
tunlty for a county to Increase Its reprc.
sentutlon by rolling up a large majority
is an admirable Incentive.
"Preparations aro being made all over
tho state," says the Harrlsburg Tele
graph, "to raid the state treasury through
the medium of the coming leguslature. It
will be a fine session on which to -use the
veto. The only appropriation outside of
those for the maintenance of the state and
Its Institutions should be for enlarging
the buildings for the insane or the erec
tion of a couple of new insane hospitals."
What Is the matter with an appropriation
for good roads?
"So far as I have heard from my con
stituents." says Kepresentative-ele?t
Coray, of the Second Luzerne district, "all
they want of me on the senatorial ques
tion is to vote against Cameron. If I
was approached once I was a dozen times,
before election, by persons who wan.el
me to assure them I was 'agin Don.' If
I were to vote for Cameron next winter,
I would send for my trunk and after the
ression ended take a train for the fjr
west. It wouldn't be safe to go back
home."
"The fadt," says the Pitnxsutawney
Spirit, "that another census will be taken
In llwo, only a little more than three years
hence, and that a new apportionment will
be due In 1S01. may be urged as an excuse
for delay. But it should have no weight,
for It is now ten years since a legislative
apportionment has been made, and It Is
not right to shirk your duty on the ground
that your successors may perform it. It
Is the duty of the present legislature to
mukj this apportionment. It has noth
ing to do with past or future legislatures.
Will It do it?" We guess It will.
