SCRANTON. DECEMBER 9. 1S96.
The merchant who advertises in The
Tribune does not hide his light under
m bushel.
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

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:

: Hosiery and Notlens :

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-

incidentally reminding him that "Johnnie

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

Over the hills and far away
There are dreadful dragons that knights
may slay-
Great snorting dragons with brazen
scales,
And wings of leather, and coiling talis.
But if you're the proper kind of knight
With a suit of mall nnd a sword that's
bright,
You may whip those dragons and win the
day.
Over the hills and far away!
Over the hills and far away
There are ogres living In ca'tles gray,
With a horn to blow and the drawbridge

And the ogres bellow and stamp and
frown.
But It doesn't do to be frightened no!
You must face them boldly and strike a
blow.
And then you marry the Princess May,
Over the hills and far away!
Over the hills and far away
There are fairy monarchs in grand array,
With gnomes and pixies and urownie,
too:
And my! the marvelous things they do!
But thoiiKh they startle you Just a bit,
They will help a lad who Is sharp of wit,
And It's fun to watch when they dance
and play-
Over the hills and far away!
Over the hills and far away
Vnu mav have an excellent time I say,
There are golden Islands and magio

And Jabberwockles and heaps of things;
Yon can't be dull In a land like that.
