And to think that Uncle Sam might

The Day and Its Lesson.
The average holiday comes and goes.
now gaining general observance and
non falling into equally general neg
lect; lut Christmas goes on forever.
It is the one holiday which may be said
to be world-wide; and the only one in
all the list, which ministers with equal
graciousness to old and young, rich and
poor, the despised and the elect, in
every land and clime. It does g'Mid
to have one day in 3C3 of honest, hearty
democracy; one day when throughout
the civilised world there Is some real
approach to human brotherhood. If the
teachings of Him whose birth the duy
commemorates were literally obeyed,
there would be more of such days in the
passing years; but even for this one let
us be duly grateful.
What special message does Christmas
bring to the people of this community?
The lessons of the duy are many and
varied; but we think that a thoughful
glance about us will disclose one of
clearly paramount importance. The
career of the Nuzarene, whether consid
ered as to His divinity or as to His
humanity, is pre-eminently a career of
helpfulness to the meek, the weak and
the lowly. "He went about doing good."
He was active In works of mercy. Can
we not stretch our Imaginations so fur
as to think of the Christ in Scranton,
and determine where, In all likelihood.
He would first begin His ministrations
of grace? Think you it would be among
the rich, the educated, the well-to-do?
Or would it not be among those lowly
children of foreign lands who are trans
planted among us, ullen to our speech,
our customs and our laws, subject to
our revilement and in their Isolation
Irritntlng to the public peace?
It was the divinity of Jesus that He
denied His help to no man: and so if He
were, In person, today In Scranton, one
can readily believe thut His presence
would be felt for good by every Inhabl
tunt. Yet it seems to us to Involve
no violence to the teachings of the
sucred text when we Imagine that
those activities of His modern followers
which would afford Him most pleasure
would be, not the ministration by state
ly music und uplifting achltecture to
souls already saved, but the small,
crude, hand-to-hand struggle of Dr. I.u
gun's Hungarian and Slovak kinder
gartens for the Americanization and
Chrlstianizutlon of our vast foreigit
born population. Knowing this, Is the
lesdon not obvious?
Suppose 120 years ago there had been
a man like Olhey at the head of the
foreign affairs of France. Where would
we be?
A National Revolution.
One of the main considerations which
It is understood have Inclined the pres
ent executive to conservatism In his
treatment of the Cuban question. If
not to actual dislike of the Cuban
cause, hus been the fuel that at Its be
ginning the revolt against Spain was
chlelly the work of desperate and reck
less spirits, men owning little or no
property and having little or nothing to
loose in the event of failure. It Is
frequently asserted und is doubtless
true that at the outset the so-called
"better element" in Cuba; that is, the
property interests or as we would say,
the aristocrats, viewed the whole up
rising with Indifference or else with
outspoken disapproval. This was only
natural, burden any man with prop
erty and, within certain limits, you
niuke a coward of him. His first thought
In any emergency Is for his property,
and only when the hitter Is threatened
does he manifest the combative ten
dencies of virile manhood.
But if this alignment of Cubans was
true a year ago, it is true no longer.
Upon this point we have a volume of
trustworthy testimony which has prob
ably gone far to intluence the senate
committee on foreign relutions in Its
consideration of the independence res
olution. As the revolution has spread
und as Spanish cruelty, arrogance and
injustice have gradually revealed them
selves anew, without mask or conceal
ment the Cuban heart has been fired,
unlOl rich hiv joined with poor in
common resistance and the artificial
distinctions born of peace have been
melted down In the stress of war. Not
to multiply testimony, we will offer in
evidence Blmply one statement made in
a letter from Havana, under date vf
Dec. 6, to the London Times. The Times
certainly is not a prejudiced authority
nor has its correspondent in Havana
any personal connection with either side
of the controversy. This letter dwells
at length upon the fact that the white
element now predominates largely in
the rebel ranks, while the rebels pos
sess the sympathy of nearly all educat
ed Cubans. "The truth of which." the
correspondent continues, "is seen in the
number of prominent people spnt as
political prisoners to the Spanish penal
settlements in the last six months. The
worst elements of the rebellion have
therefore disappeared, and the Inde
pendent Cuban government. If weak,
would at least be in the hands of edu
cated and responsible men."
It Is the weakness of that govern
ment which renders urgent our help as
proffered through diplomatic recogni
tion. If It were strong It would not
need such recognition and there would
be no humanity In giving It.
It is estimated by the state food com
missioner that the clt liens of Harris
burg are paying in excess of $21,000 a
year for the water which milk-dealers
add to the milk that they retail In
that city for 6 cents a quart. Harris,
burg has one-third the population of
Scranton and the price of milk here is
8 cents. Reasoning by analogy, there
fore, we might conclude that our wat-er-ln-mllk
bill amounted annually to
184.000. or one-third of the cost of the
city government. But we cannot be
lieve that our local milk dealers are
so aqueuusly Inclined.
...
"The people of this state," observes
Stnator Chris Hagee's Pittsburg mouth'
piece, knows where to look for re
form wheu thev want It." We might
have known that Chris and Billy Fltnn
would keep a large quantity of It on
tap.
Stopping a Bad Leak. ,
One of the least defensible leaks
which has hitherto existed in the na
tlonal treasury hos lieen the custom of
paying double salaries to memliers of
congress holding contested seats one
salary to the man returned as elected
and . not her to th? man confirmed by
the house Investigating committee,
Not only has this practice had a ten
dency greatly to stimulate the bring'
Ing of contests, but in some Instances
It Is said to have led to direct collusion
between successful and defeated candl
dates whereby the latter have bee
accorded fraudulent certificates of elec
tion and enabled to bleed the govern
ment until the former could establish
their cases and divide the spoils.
A Mil to put a stop to these manifest
Injustices has been Introduced In the
house at Washington by Kepresentativ
Aldrlch of Alabama, and it deserves to
pass. It makes It unlawful for the ser
geant-at-artns of the house to pay any
compensation whatever to any member
whose right to his seat is contested
until the member has filed with the ser
geant-nt-arms a bond, with approved
security in the sum of Sio.ooo, thut If
the contest goes against him he will
pay back to the Tolled States all the
money which he shall have received In
the meantime as compensation, includ
Ing mileage and stationery allowances,
If the contest goes In his favor, then
the bond is to be void. When a con
test is decided against a member, it Is
made the duty of the sergeanl-at-arms
to demand the payment of the sums
paid to him, and upon the failure or re
fusul of the unseated member to pay
within thirty -iajs, the solicitor of the
treasury must order suit brought
ngalnRt the bond and its sureties. The
bill also provides Jhat whenever a
notice of contest is served upon a mem
ber It shall also be served upon the
seigeant-at-arms of the house within
twenty days. The final section of the
bill fixes the time of its going Into
cf.ect on March 4. 1897. providing, how
ever, that contestants for seats in the
Fifty-fifth congress shall have until
March 24. 1897, to give the required
notice to the serjeant-at-arms.
There Is no earthly reason why these
sensible precautions against robbery of
the government should not be taken
No private employer would pay two
salaries for one man's work.
And now It Is Mexico which threatens
to lead the way In recognition of Cu
ba's Independence. The government at
Washington should look to Its laurels.
An Unanswered Objection.
An Ingenious but Inconclusive at
tempt Is made by the Philadelphia
Press to parry the criticisms of Joseph
Wharton against John Wanuniaker's
senatorial candidacy. The Press ad
mlts that Mr. Wanamaker Is an Im
porter, but endeavors to make out thut
he Is only an Importer on the side, as it
were, and thut Importing Isn't his chief
occupation.
He that as It may, the Press cannot
blind the public to the fact thut it
would be manifestly Improper to clothe
with luw-uiuking authority a man In
terested pecullurly and directly In tariff
legislation. The law forbids the ap
polntment of an Importer to be sec re
tary of the treasury, for the obvious
reason that the duties of the secretary
ship and the interests of an Importer
are liable at any time tu clush. There
Is the same reason in Justice why an
Importer should not be clothed with
senatorial power of voting and schem
ing tu help his own business at the
expense of the public welfare.
But an even greater reusun against
the election of Wanumaker to the
senate lies In the utterly phurlsalcul
immoral und Indecent methuds which
have characterized the promotion of his
campaign. This alone would condemn
him irrevocably.
-, -
Those who are predicting that Major
Mckinley will share Grover Cleveland's
Indifference to the cause of Cuba over
look one of the most Interesting planks
in the St. Louis plutform.
An Unfortunate Attitude.
A singular attitude Is maintained by
Senator Hale, of Maine, on one of the
uppermost issues of the day. He ud-
mits that a large majority of the
American people favor such action by
this government as will more clearly
Indicate their sympathy with the pro
position that Cuba should he free from
European domination; and likewise
concedes that Spanish rule in the
Antilles is foreign to the Ideas which
prevail In the American mainland. But
while frankly recognizing these facts,
he declares his intention to oppose by
every means In his power any further
action by congress In these premises.
In other words, he simply defies the
public which employs him and takes
apparent pleasure in his ability to
thwart Its purpose.
We are told by those acquainted with
the facts thut Senator Hale Is an inti
mate friend of the Spanish minister.
Senor llupuy de Lome; and that his
ideas and often his very language con
cerning Cuba are received from that
astute diplomatist. If this be true, the
minister is entitled to extra congratu
lation upon his new showing of his
very considerable adroitness. But as
for Senator Hale, we suspect there will
be general regret that so able a man
should be so easily won from his duty
to his American constituents over to
a voluntary service In behalf of Spain.
In some cases such a transfer of al
legiance would excite suspicion of un
worthy Influences: in the case of Mr.
Hale,- however, the error is not of the
heart but of the head.
It probably comes of the aristocratic
exclusiveness for which he manifests
so unfortunate a liking. If he were to
mix more freely with his own country
men the result might be and probably
would be different.
At the Instance of Judge Scott the
Northampton county grand Jury has
recommended that each township set
apart a portion of its road tax to be
sixnt in construction of permanent
highways. The suggestion ought to be
adopted. It would form the nucleu
of a desirable reform.
According to the census of 1890 there
were 499,879 legal voters in Indiana, but
the Vote cast at the late election
amounted to 6;!7,2S1. and the Democrats
are crying fraud. We cannot agree
with them. In addition to the fact that
natural Increase would account for
much of this enlargement of the poll
It must be borne in mind that since the
census of 1890,under stimulus of the Mc
Kinley bill hundreds of new glass and
tin-plate factories were established In
the natural gas belt In Indiana, bring
ing from C0.000 to 100,000 new working
men into that state. This explains the
size of the recent vote; and it also
explains why McKlnley carried Indi
nna.
As a result of Spanish misrule the
present debt of Cuba is J425.OO0.O0O
which bears interest of from 5 to 6 per
cent. This Is almost $400 for every
white Inhabitant of the island, or $2,000
for each head of a family. At 5 per cent
the annual Interest expense would be
$21,230,000; today the total revenues of
the island are not more that $10,000,000
a year. The condition upon whlcn
Spain would grant autonomy to Cuba
Is that Spain would continue to skim
the cream off Cuban enterprise. What
decent people would ever consent t
such a negotiation while they had
power left to fight for independence
Mr. Wanamaker Bays that in 35 years
he has employed upwards of 100,000 per
sons and has never hud "what is
known as a strike." This is certainly to
his ctedlt. But In those 35 years he has
accumulated a generous fortune, which
ought to be ample reward. There are
many employers In Pennsylvania who
present similar records and yet they
don't offer that as a' foundation to
senatorial aspirations. A study of
Wanamuker's pay roll would perhaps
prove interesting in this connection.
A member of the Montgomery coun
ty bar suggests that the judges who
are to assemble in l'hlladelpnta on
Tuesday to consider court reforms
might, among other things, decide so
to apportion appointments, as of audi
tors, commissioners and masters,
among members of their bar as
to give encouragement to worthy young
men who are struggling hard to gain
a professional foothold. The point Is
certainly well taken.
According to the press reports Mr,
Bryan's initial appearance at Atlanta
the other evening as a lecture was what
might be termed a "frost." There is
evidently a difference between rlP'
snorting before a crowd of delirious
partisans and carrying eloquence and
logic home to an audience of critical
and dispassionate patrons of the lect
ure platform.
According to President Jordan, of Le-
lund Stanford university, the one way
to prevent the seals from becoming ex
tinct Is to pass a law making it a mis
demeanor to have In possession the pelt
of a female seal. The suggestion Is
plausible; but a law prohibiting the
wearing of sealskin sucques woUid
serve the purpose quite us well.
It Is announced that Speaker Reed is
so violently opposed to the recognition
of Cuba thut he will use his influence to
stille the Cameron resolution und ull
similar documents whenever they come
before the house, now or lit future. We
don't believe it.
Quite the most ridiculous theory of
the departing year Is the story that
the free silver senutors are agitating
the Cuban question so as to break the
force of their recent defeat. Even
senutors ure sometimes disinterested
and sincere.
Incidentally It might be remarked
that the message of the day "peuce on
earth, and good will to men" applies
to Spain as well as to the United States;
and that often one of the best methods
f securing peace is to enforce it.
The patriotism of Wall street is
again showing Itself In a vociferous
squeal for peace. It Is strange how
the "ticker deadens Its patron's hu
inanity.
It Is not a new observation but It is
a conspicuously true one thut the hap
plest man on Christmas day is the one
who has done his best to make others
happy.
After all, Mr . Olney got his money's
worth of advertising.

Long, 'long ago,
In manger low.
A primal star Its sheen unfurled
Dissolved the night.
And brought to light
A Holy Child to save the world.
Bethlehem's star
Is sought afar,
When Christmas chime floats 'crost In
moor.
The hope It brings
Tells blissful things
Unto the hearts of rich and poor.
Calvary's cry
O'eroast the sky
To save the Blood from mocker's Blight;
Hut an was allnme
With Jesus' name
When He rose In heavenward flight.
Now, since that time,
The frosted thyme
Brings Santa Clans once ev'ry year,
to Keep tne tryst
For risen Christ
With little children far and near.

From the Philadelphia Times.

The man who attempts to deirat either
Mr. Wanamaker or Mr. Penrose by pro

grace himself and aid rather than hinder
the candidate he assails.
From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
Senator Penrose, In causing the arre-d
on the charge of libel of a strolling preach
er In Bucks county, who has been publle.
ly charging him with being an atheist an.l
profligate, has done exactly the right thing
for the vindication of his character. The
canvass for Cameron's seat In the I'nlted
States senate has already been eruptive of
a good deal of nasty scandal, and then
should be no mercy for the sewer rats,
whoever or wherever they may be or on
whomsoever they may scatter their noxl
ous slime. It Is especially deplorable
when those who perform the sacred cr
Hees of religion have neither the caution
nor the charity to examine Into the gossip
nd tittle-tattle which follow public men
and all right-thinking men, without te
gard to politics, will be glad to see an ex,

retailers of petty scandal.

Grant s popular plurality over Greeley
was more than 7u0.mw or 130,ikjo In' excess
of the McKlnley plurality, although the
McKlnley total of 7,1UU,4W Is more than
utio.OOO greater than the grand aggregate
of all parties in ls72. There was no Issue
in that campaign commensurate in un
liortance with the issue of '. The fact
therefore, that .McKliileys plurality, on a
vote about double that of '72, Is less thiin
that of Grant Is a matter worthy of study.
