AS EICON D-CLAUS MAIL UATTin. SCKANTON. DECEMBER 10. 18U6. Mr. Dolun Is by repute an able man, but he will know better in future than to cross pens with Senator Quay. Denied Fair Play. After permitting at a recent meeting Mrs. Lucy ISooth to make under it auspices a public attack of iireat bit terness nnd virulence upon the super lntenilent of the schools, the Scranton board of control lust evening, by a Vote of 14 to 7, decided to give tin Fuperintender.t the right of public ile fense. Here are the names of the mer who voted against allowing Superin tendent How.-ll to have a full public hearing: Messrs. Vv'ormser, Jacobs Schrelfer. I.unsrstaff, Francois, Schaivi and Uaiker. In fairness to Messrs, fcharer and liarker It should be ex plained that their negative vote was not meant to deny to Professor Howell the same Justice which the courts would Instantly accord to the meanest criminal In th land, but was directed merely toward a postponement until Friday evening. If the other five gen tlemen can defend their vote, we shall be glad to give them an opportunity tu do so. Hut the strange part of last night's meelinir was that after the board, uy Its vote of 14 to 7. had decided to allow the incorporation with Professor How ill's statement of the testimony recent ly adduod before the secret sitting of the Hlch and Training school commit tee which investigated the charges against Mrs. liooth, the secretary of the board, acting under advice from Controllers I-anirstatT. Jacobs, Schrel fer, Casey and Francois, refused to give the newspapers access to that testimony so that It could be published In conjunction with the professor's statement. In other words, the fore going five controllers have virtually nullified a two-thirds vote of the whole board, and deprived Professor Howell, for the present at least, of the com plete public, hearing which is his due. The statement by him which we pub lish elsewhere depends for its force al most wholly upon the testimony which has been for the present withheld. It cannot be Judged In fairness apart from that. Christendom will pray for the con firmation of the news that the signa tory powers of Europe have agreed politically to decapitate the Turk. Un til confirmed, however, the news is too good to be true. As Spain's Indorser. Delegate Palma's reply for Cuba to the president's message Is adroit, par ticularly in its emphasizing of Cuba's loneliness "In the center of free Amer ica with a hand outstretched." We credit his assertion that compromise with Spain on any basis such as In volves further reliance on the validity of Spanish promises Is not within lim its of rational consideration. As to whether an American guarantee would satisfy the Insurgents, we are not bo c lear. It is of course their present play to intimate to the contrary, but neces sity Is often a great aid to pacification, and it might force even Cuba to seek terms of peace. In such an event, though, how could an American guarantee be made and kept? tin this point the president's message leaves much to be desired. We are. It Is true, committed by the Mon roe doctrine to primacy of sovereignty In the Americas, and could with Jus tice use that as the basis of a covenant with Spain binding the latter to ful fillment of its Cuban agreements. Hut how could we know when Spain broke faith and how should we act when It did? Above nil, by what means could we hope to protect the Cuban people from the continual nagging and small exactions of which their Spanish over lords would be guilty, treaty or no treaty? There Is another point fit for consid eration. In what light would It place Spain to have It compelled to seek American indorsement of Its promises to Cuba? Would Its pride ever ac quiesce In such a humiliating arrange ment? We cannot think so. The proposition of the president increases In practical difficulties the longer it Is studied. It concedes our duty to Inter vene but suggests a form of interven tion unsatisfactory to each of the three Interested parties. Would It not be much better, when our time for notion comes, to act once for all, nnd thus re move from future politics a source of Irritation already too long endured? It Is too bad that the message doesn't please Spain. Of course that was what It was written for. If." The after thought that a change of only about 26,000 votes In the closest McKinley states would have elected Bryan looks portentous enough at first glance, but after one sees how easily the St. Louis Globe-Democrat lays the scare, one wonders it ever attracted notice. "If," says that excellent Journal, "the Fopocratlc sheet which started this silliness had gone over the election re turns a little farther It would have found that a change' of between 30,000 and 35,000 votes divided up In the right states and in the right way would have given sixty more electoral votes to McKinley than he has, which would have made his total 332 and cut Bry an's to 115. This would not have al tered McKlnley's popular plurality ma terially, but It would have made his majority in the electoral college much more impressive." Continlng It says: "Lincoln received 212 electoral votes In 1804, and McClellan only twenty-one, yet Lincoln's majority In the popular vote, exclusive of the soldiers' poll, was only bout 800,000. It was but 20,000, for ex ample, in Pennsylvania, and 7.0U0 In New York. A 'change' of only a few thousand votes In certain states and in a certain way would hve upset Lincoln's tre mendous preponderance In the Electoral college and have made McClellan presi dent. In 1832 the Whigs carried only four states out of the thirty-one, and had onlv forty-two electoral votes, compared with 254 for the Democrats, but the Demo cratic lead In the popular vote was out a little more than 2U0,nu. A 'change' of a few thousand votes In a small number of states would have made Scott presided Instead uf Pierce ami have altered the current of the country's history, Nevertheless, the defeat for Scott's oarty was final, for the hlgs never 'lined M again !n a presidential canvass. The mim ber ami variety of the 'ifs' of politics are virtually infinite. What startling differ ences there would have been in Amcrl can history 'if certain events which form part of our anna It had chanced to go th other way! 'If a comparatively smull number of votes had been transferred from one side to the other in cena'n spots In the different elections every man who was ever chosen president would have been beaten except tleorge Washington and (I nl KM James Monroe." Political "Ifs" are not more futile than other "Ifs." History Is full of such contingencies where the differs shading of a hair would very likely have altered the destiny of nations, The one consolation about It all Is that we never know the narrowness of this potential margin until after the danger Is all over. "Jack" Robinson, whoso picture we print els-where. Is still nominally a senatorial candidate, and for mat rea son a proper subject for our senatorial gallery; but actually he seems to have abandoned hope, since a Washington dispatch credits him with being a can didate for assistant secretary of the navy. Jack's real place, though, Is in the war department. "Into the Harrlcade." The terse observations of Senator Quuy with reference to the Business Men's League, printed yesterday, were In response to a statement submitted on the preceding day by Thomas Do! an, of Philadelphia. In that statement Mr. Dolan affirmed the perpetuity of the organization of business men of which he is the head, and added: Immediately after the election steps were taken to form an organization to continue the work for good government, not in one, but in all directions practica ble. Xo sooner was Mr. Mclvlnley elected president than the leaders commenced to pin-eel out the otllees among their friends without consulting city or country. This Is un-American and destructive to lliqitin. lleanism of the highest type. The liusl' ness men, who are In great demand as elections approuch. to contribute fhi sinews uf war and do active work In ar ranging meetings, are dismissed until an other eampalKn comes around. The fact that they are belittled as they are, after they have done hearty service, has aroused a mighty spirit In them, and because of the great Interests of business still nut- firing for proper legislation they have determined upon permanent organization In every county In Pennsylvania. Cer. tain of our foremost nnd forceful citizens have pledged themselves to underwrite a practical organization that will continue In business for some years to come, 'i hey may not always be able to say who shall have the otnees. but they will make them selves heard at Harrlsburg and at Wash ington. .Mr. McKinley is likely to listen to the friends who helped through his nomination and election. The movement In the Interest of higher politics is against the svstem of appropriation of the party and supreme dictation, and Is In no sense a personal battle. This statement clearly falls to dls close a sufficient warrant for the league's existence. The plea that there has bei n any belittling of business men will not stand before the conspicuous facts as to the high places which they have In recent years readily attained In politics and in public life. That there are legitimate duties for business men In orsanizatlon does not signify that one of those duties Is to build up a personal dynasty by power of wealth for the exploitation of the ambitions of a small coterie. It Is known to every practical man that the Institution which Mr. Dolan applauds Is nothing more nor less than a new "machine" to buck against the old one the dlf ference being that whereas the old one has been built up on a basis largely of brains and sagacity the new one hopes to win and hold power mainly by the lavish use of boodle. Under these circumstances the lan Riuige of Senator Quay In characteriz lng is not out of place. He recognizes that the day Is coming In America, as it has already come In Europe, when there will be a reaction from the polltl cnl Insolence of great wealth and when the party that permits special Interests to use it as a tool will be swept from power by the uprising of the multitude. Our revolutions will be by ballot Instead of bullet; but even so, it becomes Re publicanism to hold Itself aloof from movements calculated to excite popu lar revolt. That Senator Quay, after his years of nfiiliatlon with the classes, should be driven nt last "Into the bar ricade with the bourgeolse and the men In blouses?' Is one of the most signifi cant portents which recent politics has afforded. The circumstance will give thoughtful citizens pause. A great writer was lost to literature when Matthew Stanley Quay entered politics. The Problem of tho Trusts. Mr. Cleveland's whack at trusts will find a general response. "When thes'. are defended," says he, "It is usually on the ground that though they In crease profits they also reduce prices and thus may benefit the public. It must be remembered, however, that a reduction of prices to the people Is not one of the real objects of these organ izations, nor is their tendency neces sarily in that direction. If It occurs In a particular case, It Is only because it accords with the purposes or interests of those managing the scheme. Such occasional results fall far short of com pensating the palpable evils charged lothenccount of trusts and monopolies. Their tendency is to crush out individ ual Independence and to hinder or pre vent the free use of human faculties and the full development of human character. Through them the farmer, the artisan, and the small trader Is In danger of dislodgment from the proud position of heincr his own master, watchful of all that touches his coun try's prosperity, In which he has an individual lot, and Interested In all that affects the advantage of business of which he is a factor, to be relegated to the level of a mere appurtenance to a great machine, with little free will, with no duty but that of passive obed ience, and with little hope or opportun ity of rising In the scale of responsi ble and helpful citizenship." This is a severe but on the whole a Just arraignment. The tendency toward concentration and association of effort la an economic phenomenon not easily remediable, but there can be no doubt that it must eventually be checked if society is to be preserved from anarchy. The president's testi mony as tu the efficacy of legal meas ures in this direction Is far from en couraging. "Though congress." says he. "hus attempted tu deal with this matter by legislation, the laws passed for thut purpose thus far have proved Ineffective, not because of any luck of disposition or attempt to enforce then, but simply because the laws themselves as Interpreted by the courts do not reach the difficulty. If the Insufficien cies uf existing laws can be remedied by further legislation, it should be done. The fact must be recognized, however.- that all federal legislation on this subject muy full short of its pur pose because of inherent obstacles, and ulso because of the complex charac ter of our governmental system, which, while making the federal authority bu preme within its sphere, has carefully limited that sphere by metes and bounds which can not be transgressed. The decision of our highest court on this precise Question renders It quite doubtful whether the evils of trusts nnd monopolies can be adequately treated through federal action, unless they seek directly and purposely to In elude in their objects transportation ur Intercourse between states or between the United States and foreign coun tries, it does not follow, however, that this is the limit of the remedy that may be applied. Even though It may be found that federal authority is not broad enough to fully reach the case, there can be no doubt of the power of the several states to act effectively in the premises, and there should be no reason to doubt their willingness to Ju diclousiy exercise such power." If the legislatures of the various states are to be relied upon to cure the evils of trusts, they will need to under go very striking improvement in both brains und character. The reported death of Maceo, the commander-in-chief of the Cuban In surgents, requires confirmation. But even If it shall prove true. It need not alter the situation. A cause founded in Justice is not wholly dependent on any one man. If the free silver Republican senators wish to remain outside their party, that la their privilege. The party has learned enough since last they met to prevent it from coaxing them to re turn. We guess nobody will be Inconsolable over the demise of the Dlnelev bill. When the .tariff Is next amended it needs to be "done for keeps." Jtisf a Word op TuJo of Casdal Mention According to the l'hlladehihla Rvenln uuiieiin, a journal by no means frlendiv to what Is known In Philadelphia politics as the anti-combine crowd, of which Sen ator Penrose is the leader, Mr. Penrose upon whom the mantle of Don Cameron Is likely to full, Is but little more than 3ti yours.of age, the same age us William J. uryan, "this comparative youthf illness. adds the bulletin, "is sometimes given as a reason why he would not be fitted for Msnutorlul service. Hut scores of men have gone to the senate at even a younger age. ciay entered the chamber when he was thirty; Juckson was the same age when he becumc a senator from Tennes see, und John C. Breckinridge presided over the senato when he was thirty-live, Penrose has had fourteen years of con tinuous service, first In the house and then In the senate at Harrlsburg; he has the acquirements of a Harvard ediica tlon; he has been trained in the legal profession; he has written on historical and political themes; he is a lucid and co. gent speaker in debate; his tustes In pub lie life have been in the direction of civic studies; he has Inherited the partisan tem per of Charles H. Penrose, who led the great Whig battles In the senate and house at Harrlsburg a half a century ago, and no one has been able to show that his hands are not clean. His personal ores ence is marked by distinction and virility of manner and expression. He came into the polities of the Eighth ward with the reputation of a young 'silk stocking,' who might have something of a bent toward reform and reformers, and he has tlevel oped Into a type of the educated stalwart not unlike such college-bred men as Hen ry Cabot Lodge. 'The patlenca and self-restraint which Pen rose showed, with no small degree of dignity, after he lost the prize of the may orally, when it was almost within Ms reach, gave considerable evidence of strength and maturity of character. He I'lin wait long and tight hard and strong. He has the candor and straightforward ness of u politician who hus enough for tune to be Independent of the passing changes, ami enough brains to tuke care of himself without playing the small tricks of the craft. We have never heard a harge that could bo fastened on his pub. lie character. The sewer rats that swarmed Into the cess-pools of scandal which hlr, enemies stirred up two year? ago brought him into a temporary disrepute of the same kind that many of the best char acters in publlo life have suffered, from the days of Hamilton and Jefferson to Cleveland and Arthur. The scandals that were Hung at Penrose were conceived In the malignant recklessness of the coiners of slanders and clippers of reputation. He has followed (Jtiay with unshrinking loyal ty ever slnje (juay himself was an Eighth warder, and he is a cmver specimen of the machine politician who Is both orna mental and useful, nnd who believes In or ganization and fidelity to leadership, be cause he has read history well, nnd be cause there Is none of the epicene in his make-up. The city had such men in poli tics when Dr. Michael Iib went to the senate, and I have fancied that Penrose has had ingrained into him a good many of those old-fashioned traditions of parti sanship that are not at all Incompatible. with civic worth, and that often make a man of aristocratic temper very demo cratic In his dealing with the crowd." -O- Lonnie Warren, the famous ex-blcyele racing man of the days of Class "H" (sea sons '!4 and '!), was In the city yesterday. Mr. Warren represents the Sterling Cycle company of Chicago anil has put a "it?" Model Sterling wheel on exhibition in the display room of the local agents, Hit ten hender & Co.. where It will remain for a few days. The "97" model of this popular bicycle Is a beauty, and has brought forth much favorable comment from all who have examined it. Attorney John G. iucAskle is being boomed for burgess of Dunmore and there is every likelihood that if he 'cares for the office he can have it. He would be ac ceptable to the people, being one ol the most progressive and public-spirited citi zens of the borough and he deserve uny recognition the parly can accord him, as he Is always to be found in the front of the fray In local and county battles. Mr. McAskle was the first man to demon strate by a close canvass that Dunmore I.' solidly Republican, something that no one had dreamed of until the canvass bad been made. Attorney John FTscragg was years ago one of the hustling and ubiquitous re porters on the Scranton newspapers, and on this account probably is always ready to assist the Interviewer In working up the telling features In a grist of news. While In the reportorlal har.icss Attorney Bcragg performed his duties t,"'hfully and gained patience and tact that have been valuable aids to success In the legal pro fession , PKVVSYI.VANIVS SENATORS. From Chambersburg Public opinion. It has been the misfortune of 1'ennsyl vunla never tu be represented In the I'tut ed States senate by the best men at the command of the state, our llrst aena tors were Hubert .Mortis and William Ma clay. Morris was u man of moderate abil ities who took to the councils of the sen ate, the views und principles of the count lng room. He made no mark as a sena tor. Maelay wus u man of even smaller abilities than Morris und he was liisttnc lively a Democrat of the Jefferson school even before Jefferson founded the Demo cratic party. He opposed Washington's administration from the outset because he was afraid uf a government that should be national In spirit and strong enough to support Itself. .Morris' successor wa-t William ItiiiKham. u rich dude who would have welcomed a monarchy If he could have been made a duke. Maeluy dre the horl term and gave way ufler 'wo years' service to Albert Uallatln, an able man who was succeeded almost liumil alely by James Koss, who was too feeble to contend with the "tierce democraeie that swept everything before It dining his term In the senate. Then came tieorge I.okiii as the successor ot Kingham nnj ftimiitl Maeluy us the successor of Uos.
