The Foreign Shopping Hnblt.
"We have received n number of letters
commending u recent editorial which
deplored the habit among well-to-do
Kerniitohlans of eolne to New York or
some other dlstunt city to do their buy
ing. The bend of one of the largest
lneicrantlle establishments In this city
writes: "lou have hit the nail on
the head. The penchunt of our wealth
ier citizens for going out of town to do
the greater part of their shopping is nn
Indisputable fact. Several of the large
dry goods stores of Scranton have for
vears endea voted to keep this trade ut
lu.me by laying In the llnest kind of
goods and marking them to sell ut
lowif juices than the same articles
lould be purchased for In New York;
but the tesult has been (to our sonow)
that tliese high' clasn novelties have lain
upon our shelves until we were com
pellfd to sell them at a great loss."
Only one criticism has been offered
upon The Tilbune's jmsltlon. It has
been suggested that If Sctantenlans be
discouraged fiotn going to New York
to do their pmehasing, on the same
principle buyers living In the boroughs
and tovns proximate to Srrunton would
be kept out of the stotes of Scranton.
Hut this does not follow, either in logic
or In fact. There Is a difference be
tween subtracting a large sum of money
from the business channels of the com
munity by foreign buying and transfer
ring Its expenditure from one to an
other part of the same commu
nity. The communication between
Scranton" and its various suburbs
throughout the county Is nowadajs so
close that the dollar spent In any one
place within the county Is jretty sure
to llnd Its way speedily around the
circle. It Is not so, however, with the
Scianton dollar spent In New York. For
every dollar that New York gets from
us w receive back in cash on the aver
ago not more than one penny. The
money taken from Scranton to New
York end spent in New York's stores
is money to which' the people of this
community may In most Instances ad
dress a rad farewell. Once spent it Is
g.,ne forever.
A e are advised that our remarks on
this subject are likely to strike more
jierboiiH than we wot of. Very likely.
All the more reason, therefore, that the
ill-effects of the foreign shopping habit
on local prosperity shold be pointed out.
It is not to be believed that any citi
zen of Scranton, and especially any
citizen whose wealth has been largely
accumulated in Scranton or in its vicin
ity, can take offence when he is In
formed that a thoughtless custom on
his part or on the part of his family
is making poorer the community around
hint and by just that much diminishing
his chance of future profits. A little
common sense Is all that is needed to
put this whole matter aright.
The legislature at llarrisburg needs
a ring master. It is tod skittish.

Further, It remains to bo recognized
thati at tins present Juncture, Circeee,
whom Homo seem disposed to treat na a
criminal and disturber, has by her bold
action conferred a great service upon
Europe. She lias made It Impossible to
palter with this nueHtlon ns wo paltered
with the bloodstained question of Arme

meshes of diplomacy and placed It on the
order of the. day for definite solution, 1

A to the notion that Grcec Is to be co
erced and punished, I hardly like to sul
ly the, puge on which I write by tho men
tion of an alternative, so detestable. It
would be about us rational to transport
the Greek nation, who are In this as one
man, to Siberia by what, I bellove, Is
culled mi administrative, order. If any
ono has such a scheme of policy to pro
pose. I advise his proposing it anywhere
rather than In Kngjand. Lot It' be borne

along, under tho cover of the "concert of
Kurope," power and speech have been the

Gladstone's letter pioves anew that
the spark of human heroism has not
expired. Though, to employ his lit
metaphor, the modern David faces six
Gullaths, there Is that In the temper
of Christianized humanity, as we be
lieve there Is that, also, In the sustain
ing providence of Almighty God, which
makes the struggle not unequal. The
tiumiiet calls to the lescue.and we shall
presently see a crash of makeshifts and
of apologies.

himself where he had always trusted
himself In the hands of his Clod. He
looked the- messenger of death calmly
In the face and overllowlng with grati
tude for all that ho hnd received In this
life, ho could ask In child-like submis
sion to round out his ninetieth anni
versary, but only It It was best.
The estimate of such a life comes
home to most ot us. It lias no mili
tary glory to gild Its close; no high
elation In tho public gaze to add to Its
honor, or bespeak n world-wide und
lusting memory here. It only lias the
high and common praises of a good and
faithful servant. It bespeaks part of
Its reward when In this life it comes
to the trusting of the savings of the
widow and orphan, tho confidence of
follow citizens In large trusts, and tho
sober, quiet estimate of the good citi
zen, back of all criticism, which says:
"This man could bo trusted." Such a
life Is within tho high aim and hojie of
the common lot of humanity who, after
all, make up the true history and
march of the highest civilization. Such
a life, whether Its end conies early or
lute, Is a great loss.
It Is of course unfortunate that the
governor and the legislature are not in
thorough accord with reference to Un
building of a new capitol, but Inas
much as the governor has the popular
side of the controversy und also the
last suy, the legislature had better pre
pare to descend.

polntments display the executive's good
Judgment.
Gladstone to the Rescue!
The letter of Mr. Gladstone to
espousing
the
the
nuke of Westminster
cause of Greece and branding with the
seal of Infamy the "concert of the
)owers" to perpetuate the putrescent
sway of the Turk In Crete is by all odds
the most vigorous, timely and signifi
cant utterance of the latter half of the
nineteenth century, and it seems Impos
sible that it can fall to exert a power
ful inlluence for righteousness. With
one apothegm he cuts to the very vltuls
of his subject. That Is when, after ex
plaining how on prior occasions Euro
pean concert had been shaped to wor
thy ends, he remarks that "the best
when In its corruption always changes
to the worst." The concert of the pow
ers Is now in its corruption and so is
Infinitely more vicious than would be
Its ut,ter shattering. Head Gladstone's
words:
The Armenian massacres, Judiciously in
terspersed H intervals ot breathing
time, have surpassed In, their scale and In
the intensity und diversity of their wlek
eUness all modern, If not all historical, ex
ptilwiee. All this was done under tho
eyes of the six powers, who weie imple
mented by their ambassadors, and who
thought their feeble verbiage a sulilelent
counterpoise to the instruments of death,
shame, und torture, provided if In fram
ing it they all chimed In with one ano
ther. Growing In conlldence with each
successive, tilumph of deeds over words,
and having exhausted In Armenia every
expedient of deliberate und wholesulo
wickedness, the Sultan, whom I have not
Korupled to cull the Great Assassin, recol

cllinux. U yet iein.alned to show to the
powers and their ambassadors, under
their own eyes and within the hearing of

ness Is sacrosanct when It passes In
Turkish garb. All comers may. us In a
tournament of old, be challenged to point
to any two years of diplomatic history
which have been marked by more glaring
Inequality of forces; by muie unlfoim and

with wrong over strength associated with

consciousness nor confidence; by so vast

Inflicted upon and still clinging us a shirt

After showing In detail how the pro-
James Blair.
JaitiPS Blair has lived so long in this
community and been so Intimately con
nected with all Its best interests that
his name Is familiar to thousands who
have little personal acquaintance with
him. Ho was an Important factor In
the growth and development of Scran
ton before lie became n resident and
when It required some faith In men
and foresight In possibilities to stimu
late courage. In coming here to reside
he was only following the wise instincts
which arose with the success of his
financial venture. He was a. pioneer
in investment at the beginning ot our
industries and again a pioneer In person
when It was necessary for our financial
interests to take on solid and perman
nent foundations. The characteristics
of such a man, who was the architect
of his own fortunes, make their appre
ciation the more wise and valuable to
us just as we understand what relation
they bear to that kind of success In
life which Ms no discount in its
steady, sturdy r.nd honest growth.
Primarily there was the Scotch and
American colonial ancestry He was
born to religion and business, and In
u time when slow and sure success only
was thought of and when it was as
ratural to persistent and unnervous ef
fort as the outcome of the oak Is to
the acorn and its surroundings. He be
gan business life young and In a small
way; satisfied with small beginnings.
He watched tho slow growth with
quite as much' care and delight as In
after years he did the larger success
which crowned the same kind of effort
and zeal. Ho was always a grateful
man for the small successes of early life
and no less for the larger ones which
came as naturally as the first, under a
law of heaven which lie believed In,
Wo too often undervalue such a life in
these times of excitement, when nervous
and ambitious youth look too much for
speedy results without estimating and
noting the conditions and the means.
The characteristics which gave our
fellow citizen Ills sure success are home
spun virtues, downright honesty, un-
llinch'lng watchfulness for details and
little things of life which go to make
up frugality and economy. How old
fushloned those two little virtues are
to us today! They sound like the drops
that make the ocean, but they tell In
the long run and In the lurge. There
can be written over such a life: "He
that is faithful in little will also be
faithful in much."
And it is this faithfulness which
counts. The country store at "Gravel
Hill" was a small affair as we look back
on It .from tho palaces where tho mer
chant now rules as a prince. Hut out of
that store run ra'lrouds Into and creat
ed cities, lallroads built with the same
conscientious attention to economic de
tails und the inexorable laws of sure
business' growth. It Is better to so
build and finish than with a receiver
and the ruin of fortunes. Such u life
Is necessarily a conscientious one. The
seeds of religion were implanted cit
used to be so in early times) with the
ejuwi care us, and along with', the seeds
of success. .It was difficult to i-.epariite
the two. Success so bought, hard,
slow and sure, it Is no wonder that
more worth Is put on Its rewards than
when riches droit us It were frum the
clouds in a thunder storm of excite
ment and In the nervous tension of
a speculative fever.
When It comes to the point of trust
worthiness then we can bring out our
gulden weights to place In the balances
and estimate such a character us has
just closed Its career In the midst of
us. Quiet, fulthful und persistent la
bor, rigid and Inborn economy enabled
James Hlalr to retire from business
without the too often necessary ex
perience of a failure and a compromise
of debts, und ufterwuids u watchful
cure enabled hhn constantly to ndd to
that sturdy growth unaffected bythe
blaze uf extravagant life. Such an ex
perience has Its lessons of Inestimable
value. On the religious side Mr. Hlalr
was the same quet, Imperturbable and
progressive man that he was In busi
ness. Of course It was with no show of
pretence. Faithful to the ordinary du
ties und claims of religion, in season
und out of season, he was true to his
convictions and reverent In bin de
meanor. His benefactions were fre
cjuent and often large. His end was
The Tariff on Coal.
Commenting recently upon th'e report
in a dispatch from Washington to The
Tribune that HepreBentatlve Connell of
this district would endeavor to have a
duty placed In the new tariff bill on
anthiuclte coal, for the protection of
western coal Interests, the Wilkes-liarre
News-Dealer remarked: "Two months
ago Mr. Connell, as president of the
Coal Operators' association, was notl
Med of the meeting of the ways and
means committee to consider the coal
schedule. He was asked to appear be
fore it and he did not then think it
necessary, because as there Is no an
thracite anywhetv else but in Pennsyl
vania, why should there be a. tariff?"
As a matter of fact, tho reason why
Mr. Connell did not appear before the
ways and means committee on that oc
casion was because he did not receive
the letter of notification In sufhelent
time. The fact that about 200,000 tons
of Welsh anthracite are Imported annu
ally along the Pacific coast, which at a
duty of 75 cents per ton would yield
$100,000 In revenue, should have been
sulilelent, one would think, to have
Induced Representative Lelsenring.who
Is also Interested In conl, to appear be
fore that committee with the necessary
information. It Is true that Pennsyl
vania's anthracite does not need tariff
protection, but if it were subjected to
such competition as menaces the west
ern product, we suspect that the Lu
Kerne member would have been the first
to protest.
Mr. Connell will voto for the Dlngley
tariff bill whether anthracite Is kept
on th'e free list or not; but there would
be obvious propriety In placing the
same duty on the one kind of coal as is
admittedly necessary on the other.

The suggestion that the Cubans should

It a point from which we were constantly
harmed. Vessels laden with every kind

sailed openly from Cuban ports to the
coast of the Southern Gulf States. They
would do so ugaln under similar circum
stances. No, land olllelals attempted then,
or would attempt In future, to prevent
them from being laden or dispatched. No
war vessels at sea were present to Inter
cept them even when they were In Cuban
waters. We captuied the vessels so en
gaged when we could, but after the wir

these unfriendly und harmful ucts.

Our obligations toward Spain, now In a
position stmllor to that we occupied to.
ward her In 1SC1-G3, are held to. be very
different. Under the pretext of enforc
ing our neutrality laws, laws which were
enuctcd during the last century, Spanish
spies are allowed to swarm In our cities
and ports, employed In ferreting out ev
ery scheme for the shipment of supplies
supposed to be Intended for Cubans In re
volt, and furnishing Information thereof
to our olllclals, who in turn are compelled
by their Instructions to seize and con
demn them. National vessels, which
weie destined for the protection of our
revonue and to afford assistance to storm
tossed mariners In distress, are diverted
from the mimeses for which they were
built and niude to patrol our coasts, seek
ing for vessels supposed to be bound for
Cuba with supplies for the Insurgents, In
order to bring them back to port. All
this takes plnce while other vessels load
ed to their scuppers are allowed to sail
awayandcarry to the Spanish army every
sort of supplies, supplies without which
that army would soon peilsh from starvi
tion, for they are only kept alive by pro
visions coming to them from over the
seas. When wc have troubles' Spain adds,

which they were designed, and It our citi

the subjects of Spain were permitted,

der similar circumstances, the struggle
In Cuba would soon, be ended. Her people

Why Ctiba Should
Be Independent
From the New York Sun.
Spain Is sending no more troops to Cuba.
She has none to send. She Is not sending
money to pay those who aie there now,
and for the same reason; she has none to
send. The campaign which Is now draw
ing to a close llnds Weyler's troops be
hind barricades and In fortresses. They
aie discouraged by the dismal failure of
their attempts to make any progress to
wurd putting down the "rebellion'' and
disheartened at the prospect of months
of idleness In which disease will be as
fatal to them as bullets, with large ur
leurs of pay due them, and no prospect
of success In sight to keep up their spir
its or Inspire them with hope. The pa
triots, on the other hand, ure in posses
sion of the open country and exercise all
authority therein. The successful end
of their heroic struggles approaches, and
as It comes neaier we hear suggestions
that peace should be restored upon Spain s
granting "autonomy" to them if thoy
will lay down their arms and return to
their allegiance, the United States gimr
unteeing the performance of Spain's
agreement, or Cuba agreeing to pay an
Indemnity In case the Independence of
tho Island lr. acknowledged.
-:C-Thls
Is an invention of the enemy. Thre
Is, there can be, only one solution to the
Cuban question which will give peace and
bring prosperity to the Island, and that is
absolute Independence, The propositi! n
to grunt to Its Inhabitants "autonomy,''
if accepted by them, will not answer the
pin poses for which they took up arms.
Similar piomlses have often been made
and as often broken, and they will con
tinue to be broken. The present sugges
tion Is coupled with the cond'tlon that
the United States guarantee the perform
ance of any promises which Spain may
make to her colonists. Neither the ex
ecutive officers nor the cj'igrcsj of the
United States have the powe" to do any
thing which they are not authorized to
do by the constitution: und the constitu
tion has not authorized congress or any
department ot the government to estab
lish a buieau wherein the pet refinance
of obligations ussunied by a foreign gov
ernment may be guurunteed by the Unit
ed States. Whut form would such a rruar
antee tuke'.' How could It be enforced'.'
But suppose the Cubans were to accept
the proposition, if made; of what benefit
would "autonomy" be to them? Autono
my means nothing beyond giving them a
voice in the manageinnt of thep' local
affairs. It would, not tuke them out of
the category of subjects, it vnul, not
relieve them from the power under which
thtlr substance Is now BiiueezU out of
them by the screws of tuxatlon and ex
pait duties. It would not HUV3 them
fiom having any army quartered upon
them in time of peace. It would not se
cuie to them n proper representation in
the natlonul councils, nor protect them
from the swarms of Spanish born officials
who fill all the ofllces of the government
on the Island. It would add nothing to
their manhood, their lights, or their
piosperlty. Nothing short ot absolute In
dependence will do that. To secure this,
not "autonomy," they took up arms. For
this they have fought and suffprel. it
would be suicidal In them to be sitlslled
w.Mi less, now that success is so certain.
This Is the only solution of the struggle
In which they are engaged which can ben
eflt them, even from a material point of
view. Suppose they lay'down their arirs
and return to their alleglannn, ,n what
condition would the Island be found? De
astated. 'The soli will always remain,
but the successful cultivation of the crops,
