Concerning "Almanacf." We asree with the esteemed Times that "chucked-tosether almanacs" are worthless. For the type of publication described by our nelehbor we as well as the iublic generally have no use. This is why we propose to Issue, on January 1. next, a political handbook so carefully edited and so admirably adapted to the daily needs of the peo ple of Northeastern Pennsylvania that every copy of the several thousand copies which will be sold In the six counties will be In dally use until super seded on January 1. 1S98. by The Trlb ,ne annual of that year. The advantages offered by such a judication to reputable advertisers are aimarent. Space taken In a dally news paper lasts onlv for one day but space in this tine reference book comes ue' fore the eyes of a large circle of read ers every day and often several times a day for the whole year. Considering the service rendered, the scale of prices churned for advertisements In The Tribune Political Handbook Is as mod erate as can be. There are doubtless Inferior, "chucked-together" almanacs which charge less, but of course they are worth less. If the Scranton Times shall purchase Tho Tribune's annual next month, we can assure It thut It will get the big lest quarter's, worth It ever received und the sumu can be said to all other prospective purchasers. Mr. Cleveland's antipathy to green backs Is an old story; but it deserves to be said that the greenbacks never gave trouble until the national reven ues were looted by the tariff "reform ers." Wanamakerln Fayette. A controversy has arisen in Fayetto county which presents elements of widespread Interest. The facts In the case have only briefly appeared In the news columns. They are reviewed be low In the language of the Pittsburg Dispatch, a journal ranking among the foremost for truthfulness and Integ rity: In on nffl.lnvlt ntnilil tO be SOlf-PX ciilnaturv. Edmund Dunn, of Connell?- viii.. u.imiiii h.ivlnL- solicited financial nld from the friends of Wanamaker for Clark T. Baldwin, a eandldute for election in ih leelslature: thut he held a eonfer- . ..in, ,itn .in ii,.t -while Mr. W'ana miiknr and hi imitv wen- in Connells- vilU'i that Baldwin wrote a letter In which ha ni,r..,..i if ulct-tml. that he would vote for Mr. Wanamaker," anil that thereafter he nave Mr. Baldwin a sum of money (re ported to be t'lW). Mr. Dunn says In his atllduvit, relating the circumstances: "The letter was handed to me. and Mr. Baldwin und I left the hotel. Thw money which I gave to Mr. Baldwin was partly my own and partly inai wmcn i raaseu among j S Menus. The Dispatch adds editorially: Such Is tho case as It stands. Comment Is unnecessary, unless it be in the courts The public will hardly know whether to be more amazed at the audacity of the avowal of the transaction than amused by the apparent Innocence or conscious wrong motive. While corrupt Intention la posi tively denied. Mr. Dunn naively admits having knowledge of Buudwln's financial needs early in the campaign, when he so licited aid from Wananiakr's friends, but does not seem to notice the singular co incidence that he did not give him any as slstance until tho date of Wanamaker's visit to Connellsville; or tliat he hail Ham win's written agreement to vole for Wnna milker. slimed In tho ttrpf.ence of a mem ber of the Wanamaker party; und this so late In the camyaign as one week before election, when the nerd of funds mignt in suimosed to bo nearly liast. All this no pears by 'Mr. Dunn's own statement, be. lore tne otner side nan oecn nearo 10 an extent. The nubile will reprobate sue methods In the Interest of any candidate, nnd If there were any possibility of a ma- iurltv of the legislature belnir secured by mich means It may be assumed the I'nlttd States senate would, upon petition, throw out nny one so selected, and that the man ner of election would be taken into the courts for Judicial Investigation. The only comment we care to add to tho foregoing at this time is that If Wanamaker mcney was used for cor rupt purposes In Fayette county, It was also thus used In other counties much nearer Scranton. If only a tenth part of the reports which one hears among well-informed politicians relative to the Use of money made within the past six months by emissaries of John VVana maker be true, that man Is certainly unfit to ask for support on moral grounds Is it not a singular illustra tlon of human fatuity that the nutner ous good people who swallow readily the evil reports which pass current In campaign times concerning Senator Ouay and those who are his friends maintain faith In Mr. Wanamaker even in the face of strong presumptive proof thut he Is far from being the exceeding ly good man that he pretends to be? Why should not Pennsylvania hav a representative In the next cabinet Can any one think of another state with interests bo fully deserving of'reuognl tlon? Concerning the Inauguration. The propriety of turning official In auguratinns Into elaborate military and social functions, each with Its great parade, grand review and at the con elusion, a magnificent ball, Is largely subject for Individual Judgment. Swell Inaugurations have become the rule c Washington, and wc see that Mark Hanna proposes to break the record, next March, for magnitude and sump tuousness. While one does nut wonder at his enthusiasm nor lack sympathy with the spirit which prompts It, there are still a few Americans, here and there, who would be quite as well pleased to see the Inauguration ceremonies con ducted with simplicity and unmarked by special social commemoration. The governor-elect of Indiana. Mr. Mount, and the governor-elect of New York, Mr. Black, both, we observe. Incline ' to this view. Mr. Mount says that so far as his own Inauguration Is con cerned he proposes to see that it Is conducted absolutely without ostenta tion or display. He does not intend to feave either'a parade or a ball, and we know that Mr.' Black would like to es cape on the same terms if he could. It Is, we repeat, largely a matter of taste and therefore one can do'no more than outline his preference. Those who favor an elaborate function are doubt less in the majority and will have th iir way. But for all that, it would in our opinion be a very opportune and wholesome precedent If. at a time when the wealth of the land Is only too much inclined to Invest in social spectacles which needlessly aggravate socialistic discontent and tire the envy of the ig norant, the vicious and a large percent age of the very poor. Major McKinley, himself a poor man and not at all enamored of ostentation, should set his foot down on the lofty plans which are already In process of formulation anil insist upon a plain, simple and truly democratic inauguration. The Tribune Is pleased to leajft that one local contemporary " Sr" " started to get up a ballooned Christmas edition yesterday repented of Its error and decided to give Its harrassed ad vertisers a rest. Thus does a good ex ample shine out on a naughty world. The President and Cuba. The one point In the president's treatment of the Cuban problem which excites something akin to sharpness of criticism is his clumsy attempt to be diplomatic with S:aln. This portion did not so clearly appear in the early synopsis of the message upon which we based our comment of yesterday. The complete text contains some statements fairly open to denial, as for example when the president says the American people "view with wonder AND ADMI RATION the cheerful resolution with which vast bodies of men are sent across thousands of miles of ocean and an enormous debt accumulated, thut the costly possessions of the gem of the Antilles may still hold their place In the Spanish crown." Tho present meaning of the word "admiration Is pleased or gratified observation;" and there Is no considerable number of the American people who are either pleased or gratified to observe Spain add to the military Etrength with which that coun try seeks to perpetuate Its tyranny over Cuba. The "respect" and "regard" which Mr. Cleveland Intimates obtain for Spain among the American people, and the "full recognition" which we are said by him to give to the Spaniards for their "splendid patriotism" and their chivalrous devotion to the national honor" are amluble fictions white lies of diplomacy which neither bind us nor probably deceive Spain. It Is this part of the message which no doubt led Senator Frye to remark that he thought Mr. Cleveland tried too hard to argue both sides of the case. This pretence of special friendliness at a time when Spanish ofllclala In Cuba are Jeapordlng the lives and destroying the property of American citizens, and when tho public press and most of the public speech of Spain Itself are pas sionate In abuse of the American peo ple does not accord nicely with the hu mor of the hour and might easily elicit sharp and unjust protest If it had any particular effect. But with these minor exceptions which In themselves are doubtless part of the technique of the game of state craft, although Mr. Cleveland used very few of them a year ugo when he i-ound ed the torn torn ancnt Venezuela the message's Cuban paragraphs sustain careful and deliberate consideration. One who is fair to Mr. Cleveland must admit thut he has not only supplied credible and therefore valuable data with reference to the status of the re volt In Cuba, but also given a Judicious and conservative balancing of the varl ous suggested propositions for Ameri can action looking to Interference with the belligerents. lie could not with any sense of propriety rush Into ths breach with a radical course which would Involve the administration of his successor, nor could he with greater propriety Ignore the popular demand for an authoritative statement of the government's attitude. The president's message, In short, supplies needed In formation, shows that we have thus far kept clear of hazardrus entanglements and leaves to Major McKinley the task of taking the final steps. What these shall be can only be con Jectured; but there does not seem to be a very large alternative to eventual intervention, by force if necessary, for the protection of American Interests and the safeguarding of American honor. ' Mr. Bryan "refused to he Interview ed" concerning the message. This is a surprise. ' "There is no telling," writes William E. Curtis to the Chicago Record, "what President McKinley may do when he comes Into power, but President Cleve land Intends- to preserve the strictest neutrality. He does not believe that the leaders of the Cuban revolution ara worthj the confidence of the public and he knows from the official reports on file In the department of state that their success Is not desired by the tax payers and property owners In Cuba, who prefer the tyranny of Spalh to In dependence under a government com posed of such outlaws, bandits and ad venturers as are leading the present revolution." President Cleveland doesn't say so In his message. The Olobe-Democrat mentions a curl ous coincidence: "Cleveland and Hill," It says, "were elected mayor of their respective cities In the same year Both retire from public ofiice on the same day next March, w hen a Repub lican president will be inaugurated, and both will be glad of it. They traveled different roads, but reached the right conclusion." We're not so sure as to their being glad to get out. It is rath er the cuuntry which Is glad. We are slad to learn from his own Hps that Colonel John M. Carman did not, while generalissimo of the Bryan campaign, assess any federal employes, This delicate revelation of his political modesty clearly puts his detractors to blush. It Is pertinently recalled that Major McKinley once said in congress: "The sooner politicians learn that civil ser vice reform has come to stay, the better for them and the country." They are learning this rapidly under President Cleveland's tuition. The thing which gives us warrant for eventual Interference In Cuba Is our property Interests there. Next to Spain we are the lartst owners of property In Cuba. There Is reason In tha propo sition that we cannot Indefinitely per mit t;at Interest to suffer damage through lack of effective government on the lalund. No doubt it 13 rather disconcerting to the Spanish that the Cubans will not stand up and be shot down like heroes. Rut the fact Is the Cubans are inclined to be anything but obliging to Spain. We advise the authorities of Madrid not to bank too heavily on Mr. Cleve land's amiable expressions of esteem. The latter Illustrate' the adage that "kind words butter no parsnips." Perhaps if tha Eckerts of the coun try were to be freely supplied with poison for their own use. It woull be just as well, and n great Jeal cheaper than now. On the tariff the president's message but who cares what Grover Cleve land thinks about the tariff. Jtist a Word or Tuto of Casual Mention In these days of progress and business activity ant while one vies with another In Christmas dis-pluys, It Is not often we se reminders of the days of long ago. Whtn Scranton was a village when there was nothing but a swamp in tho square bounded by Linden, Spruce. Admits an I Washington avenues. It was not an un usual sight to wo queerly-wordeii placards announcing the wares widen the then merchants had for sale. And the mer hunts were not particular how they spelled their words, but with the advan tages of public and private schools there s hardly an excuse these days for Impro perly worded aiv.1 commonplace placards. Hut the following is one. posted In a con Enlcuous 'dace on a certain avenue, and children arc daily seen criticising ihe same: THIS STOKB WILL BE : i : : Acupled by : ; Abut the 10th lust with : : A. Full lino of j : Imported and Domestic : : Hosiery and Notlens : : A Compute Line of Gents : : Fornishing Goods. ; On beholding the placard the observer Is aut to think that of such as these are candidates for sheriff's sales, with Judg ments executed In behalf of creditors re lated. -o- Many of Seranton's hopefuls are already In the field for favors from Sunta Llaus, The morgue ut the postoffice contains even now rive missives, no doubt filled with Ju vcnlle Jollies for St. Mek and post scripts incidentally reminding him that "Johnnie Jones wants a sled and skats (his skat and a orange and red mitts with a string on them like Willie Browns, and pleas ask ma to let mo ware long pants," rr something of that sort. Before Christmas Day arrives there will be fifty or more such letters to be forwarded to the dead letter office, by Superintendent of Mails L. U. Schauta. Here Is the way the let ters so far received are addressed: Dear Sanderclaus C04 M Scranton street X. Y. Sr.nta Clnus North Pole. Mr. Santa Claus Sugar county, Pa. Mr. Santa Claus Scranton, Pa. Santa Claus North Pole, Greenland. Two of them have stamps on them, but the other three wrre evidently sent by children who thought Ur.cle 3am wouldn't be mean enough to charge for a little favor like taking a letter to the North Pole or Greenland or Sugur county. -O- General Manager Frank Silllmnn, Jr. of the Scranton Traction compnnyv, 1 commended on all sld"S for the Improve. ments made In the street car service of Scranton since he assumed control.
