Uenjomln H. Throop.
To few men Im It Riven In nny bko
or land to witness unci to participate
In the transformations which passed
before tho eye of the late Dr. Benja
min 11. Throop. Had he been spared
but thrte years lonfjer, his residence
In this community would have per
mitted a diamond Jubilee suggesting
changes In their scale not less marked
than wero those which made notable
the three-score yeni's' retrospect Just
commvmorated across the ocean.
It Is Jlol possible for those of us who
nio of the yodngijr generation to speak
of Dr. Throop as he revealed himself
to Intimate nnd life-long friends. That
work of appreciation must bo left to
others. Hut It Is not now Inappro
priate to think of tho remarkable de
velopment which his eventful career
spanned of tho growth which turned
the wilderness Into the alert and thriv
ing city, In Its sweep carrying the
country physician along until he be
camo the millionaire: and especially
of the honorahle part which he played
In this great diama of progress, as
minister to tho needs of Illness, dis
coverer and exploiter of natural re
sources, pioneer In the establishment
of municipal Improvements, first post
master, and active factor In a thou
sand enterprises which contributed
their quota to the result we now call
Scranton. Modest, unassuming, demo
cratic, yet even In his later years sur
charged with the energy nnd wlll-pow-ei
that In the younger days had lift
ed him so rapidly forward, his pert-duality,
no less than his distinguished
achievements, form a subject very
profitable for our contemplation.
As ho goes to his well-earned rest we
are newly reminded that tho links
which connect our town and time with
the generation and conditions In which
the foimer had Its birth are fast dis
appearing. It Is a source of gratifica
tion that Dr. Throop has left In col
lected form mnny of his memories of
the city's eaillcr day. Ills foresight
In this respect Is not least among the
claims whlch ho offers to posterity's
grateful remembrance.
The Allegheny member who called
the unnual encampments of the Na
tional Guard "nothing but a general
drunk" possibly gauged others by him
self. Money Not Omnipotent.
On few occasions we do find It pos
sible to concur In the opinions ex
pressed by the Spilngfleld Republican;
but It toys some things concerning
the true mission of the modern univer
sity which go directly to the mark. Its
text Is Garfield's rcTTiark that "Mark
Hopkins at one end of a bench and a
student at the other mnkc a univer
sity," and Its objective point Is to re
fute the contention of the critics of
President Andrews of Brown that a
modern college president is useless un
less he can draw funds.
"Among tho great changes that havo
come over college administration and
policy during tho past generation," It
remarks, "one of the most significant
Is this atmospheio of the department
store. There has been an urgent de
mand for 'great executives,' as col-
lego presidents, men who could 'build
up' the Institution, expand Its plant,
erect new laboratories, gymnasiums
and dormitories men, in short, who
could 'draw' the funds. It has been
a long season of great strife between
rival universities to see which would
attract the greatest public attention,
offer tho largest number of 'courses,'
catalogue the .most students. It has
been, also, a period phenomenal
for the rise of tho college 'team,'
without which, In a dozen branches
of competitive sport, nn Institution
has been considered more than half
dead. Tho great president has given
the 'team' abundant rope, because a
game or a race won, a championship
becured, 'advertise the college.'
"They call It growth to point to nil
these magnificent now structures
adorning the plain old campus, to say
that the students havedoubledorquad
rupled In number since So-and-So took
charge, to exhibit the now ball field In
closed, like a Jail-yard, by a high fence,
nnd to bo ablo to give a college yell as
tho news comes of another great vic
tory over tho rival Institution. And
growth ussuredly It Is In large meas
ure a necessary, wholesome, splendid
growth, demanded by tho advance of
knowledge, tho onward steps of
Kclence. the veritable enlightenment
of the times In which we live. But
has not th(s growth, resultant In no
small degjee from 'tho struggle for
existence," cost us something, precious
In Itself and worthy of the most Jeal
ous preservation and care?
"Tho serious danger from tho rapid
nnd huge expansion of our educational
plant is that it will become commer
cialized and materialized. In a time
when the spirit most distinctive of
the ago is that of tho mere acquisition
of wealth, and the great fortunes. nf
tho country are largely In tho hands of
men whoso methodn of money-maklntr
have not been fair and honorable
when pocket-greed is seizing on muni
cipal councils, legislatures and courts,
tho true Ideals of Institutions of learn
ing may easily be subverted by the
worship of mammon. It will bo a sorry
moment and wo trust it will never
tome when the Mark Hopklnses aro
no more, and the notion of such a
university as Hopkins at one end of u
bench nnd a student at the other can
excite only a patronizing tribute to a
musty something that hat) had its day.
Tho time ha8 not yot come when tha
great teacher, who seeks only truth and
who disseminates knowledge with tha
fearlessness of a Hebrew prophet, Is no
longer wanted In a collego needing
'funds, Wo prefer moio Hopklnses and,
it necowary, fewer 'funds.' We ptcfer n
unlverFlty In n barn to ono In n pal
ace, If the barn be necessary to bc
cure absolute Independence of thought
und an ntmosphere of simple, un
alloyed truth-seeking."
These "hro brnvn words and they aro
also timely. Americans never beforo
stood In such danger of having their
hearts and brains commercialized as
they stand nbw. It is time for the sen
timent to bo cultivated that mere
money, measured In bulk, Is not om
nipotent. In the past seven years, accordlnir
to statistics now current, there havo
been 183 train hold-ups In the United
Stntes, resulting In 73 homicides
and 5S cases of felonious wound
ing. It Is not known how much
money tho lobbers secured In tho
aggregate, but presumably the vo
cation pays elso It would bo aban
doned. It may yet become necessary
for express messengers and trainmen
to wear bullet proof undershirts or elso
to accumulate an Increased fund of
nerve.
Monroe's Doctrine Up to Date.
On the afternoon before his sudden
death the late Edward B. Cooke, ot
Chicago, who represented with signal
ability the Fourth Illinois district In
congress, visited tho Washington cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Press,
Mr. Qlbson, at tho lattcr's olllce, and
talked for an hour or more about the
Cuban problem, In which Mr. Cooke
was deeply Interested. During that
conversation he outlined a basis of
American Intervention In Cuba which
Is worthy of consideration Inasmuch as
it proposes a sweeping amplification of
the Monroe doctrine.
Mr. Cooke first pointed out that un
der the Monroe doctrine we refuse to
nllow nations In the other hemisphere
to acquire dominion or control over
American soil or American states, for
the reason that our own safety and dig
nity mny be disturbed or threatened by
such foreign acquisition or aggression.
But he also called attention to the fact
that our dignity ns a nation and the
peace of mind of our citizens are dis
turbed when gross and Inhuman
tyranny prevails near our own boun
daries. This fact he offered as a suffi
cient warrant for the enunciation by
our government of a corollary of the
Monroe doctrine to this effect: "When
any people In this hemisphere demand
local self-government against a for
eign tyrannical or other oppressive
government, and where such people,
being so oppressed, resort to war In
good faith seeking to gain their free
dom, then the government of tho
United States will not remain neutral,
but will, when so disposed, decree, and
enforce tho decree, that such oppress
ed people shall bo and forever after re
main free, with full right to choose
their own form nnd method of govern
ment, nnd to thereafter control their
own destiny."
Mr. Cooke added, these being almost
his last words:
Tho letter of the Monroe doctrlno Is
that no foreign policy shall make aggros
eions or acquire by foreo territory or
dominion over people vlthin this hem
isphere. Yet tho United States nre allow.
Ing a foreign power to perpetuate and
maintain a cruel and heartless tyranny
by force of the bayonet over people at
our doors who are weak and defense
less; who are seeking for and declaring
their right to local self-government; who
are claiming the right to life, liberty and
tho pursuit of happiness, which our Dec
laratlon of Independence declares to bo
the tnallenablo right of man; who aro
waging In tho throes of agony, starva
tion and death a second prolonged and
dwperato war for Independence, and who
nro In gocd faith struggling to sccuro and
maintain their own local self-government
and freedom. Tho failure of the United
States to act In this Cuban matter Is In
mv mind most deplonblo and Is disgrace
ful to us as a nation "
It Is said the' principle phrased by
Mr. Cooke has so favorably Impressed
the president that it will appear
In substance In tho correspondence
which this government will soon
address to Spain. How truo this
conjecture Is ennnot yet bo known;
but wo feel within bounds In say
ing that should William McKlnley
ninrm such a doctrine In tho nnmo and
over the seal of the United States It
would afford him and his administra
tion a truer claim to tho esteem of
his contemporaries nnd to the applause
of history than nny other ten nets
which as president he will bo called
upon to perform.
It looks as If India could join with
Ireland In a jubilee calamity cry.
Not Worth the Candle.
The esteemed Philadelphia Press Is
Inspired by thought of Lieutenant
Peary's forthcoming polar expedition to
Indulge Itself In the following burst of
sentiment:
Tho samo unconquerable, spirit that
led tho first navigator of all time, Chris
topher Columbus, to tlnd a new world,
and that lured Sir Francis Drake over
an unshadowed sea and around the globe,
has Inspired these- attempts to unlock
the unbroken gateway of tho north. No
such great achievement can succeed
without humon sacrifice, but every tri
umph Is worth tenfold moro than It
cost. In this hazardous voyage toward
the north polo Peary should have tho sup.
port of tho American people. He will
rail under the ftara anld Stripes, and
there will bo eternal glory for the Hug
that Is first unfurled beneath tho polo
star. Peary deserves tho most substan
tial encouragement that can be given
him, 'for while success would bo lm
mortnl fame to him. It wouM also be a
triumph for American enterprise and
tho genius of tho closing nineteenth cen
tury, Tho comparison between Columbus
and Peary Is unfair In every respect
save as to courage. It must be admit
ted that in the element of personal
daring the polar explorers stand In a
class by themsolves. But where Colum
bus fulfilled a well-matured plan in tho
hope of facilitating international com
merce, Peary at haphazard Ignores a
thousand warnings In his ambition to
do a thing which, If he should succeed
In doing It, would carry with It no ad
vantage further than the mere prestige
of the achievement. The risk of Hfo
nnd value made by Columbus was
made In tho hopo of shortening the sea
way to Asia; In other words, It was
dictated by tho highest typo of publlo
spirit. The ventures of Peary and oth
era of his Ilk nre not backed by the ex
pectation of nddlng material benefits to
humanity, but nre due wholly to tho
appetite for notoriety. That tho frozen
North conceals behind Its barriers ot
Ice nnd snow n now continent suited
for tho development of a higher civili
zation or that beneath tho polar star lie
treasures vast for tho use of tho sons ot
men Is not Included even In tho poet's
dream, much less does It stir tho Im
agination of the pole-hunters. Their
sole hope Is to win a name, to feel
heroic, to captutc the fickle multi
tude's momentary npplausc.
This "unconquerable spirit" of Peary
and Co. is not different In nny re
spect from the spirit of the aeronaut
who, at the county fair, for the delec
tation of tho curious, rides his balloon
Into the heavens and takes desperate
chances cm ever getting back to terra
flrma alive. We do not question their
bravery; we merely dissent from tho
proposition that they show enough
good Judgment In their methods of dis
playing their bravery to warrant ta
ttnnnl hum ah beings In lionizing them.
Tho bovine which defies tho locomotive
Is bravo, but wo don't consider it es
pecially deserving of ndrr.lration. The
whole amount of It Is that the North
pole game Is not worth the candle, and
those who piny It display quite as much
folly as heroism.
An effort Is to be made at Harris
burg this week to reconsider the sub
ject of libel law reform; but If tho
journalists of the state want justlco
done them, they will cease to beg of
the legislature and proceed to demand
their rights. The thick heads in tho
legislature who think that any old libel
law Is good enough for the newspapers
will respond to a clubbing more quick
ly than to argument.
Evidently the Scranton Tribune Is look
ing for a scrap. It glides around with a
chip on Its shoulder. Diocesan Ilcord..
You're mistaken there. There Isn't
a more peaceable Institution on earth
than The Tribune. But It will confess
thnt with Its steadily Increasing cir
culation and expanding business It
does feel somewhat chirpy.
In the striking of. Senator Pcttlgrcw
dumb while he was filibustering against

other senatorial obsttuctlonlsts will
perceive the hand of Providence.
Gossip at
the Capital
Special Correspondence of Tho Trlbuno.
Washington, June 21.
Will the "piotosts," so called, of for
eign nations agnlnpt tho tarllf which tho
United States Is about to establish bo
seriously considered by congress In tho
final shaping of tho tariff bill, or it not
considered will the enactment of tho tar
iff law bo followed by any adverse re
sults In our commercial or other rela
tions with thoso countries? This Is a
question which members of congress are
asking each other seriously just now and
aro also asking government officials
whoso records nre reUcd upon to show
tho history of former occasions of this
sort and their result. The opponents of
the bill are pli-mlng themselves upon the
fact that sundry countries have either
by diplomatic utterances or discussions
In their legislative bodies and the press,
expressed dlfsatlsfnctlou with certain
features of tho proposed tariff law and
a disposition to make protest of some tort
against It. While this Is true a3 regards
a number of countries, It does not give
tho experienced tariff students or legis
lators tho slightest uneasiness. It Is no
now thing to them. Similar protests havo
como to them and to tho government
llmo after tlmo In former considerations
of tariff measures and they have been
politely received, as theso are, carefully
"filed" In a. convenient pigeon holo and
never heard from afterward either In
tho frnmlng of the bill or In their bearing
upon future commercial relations of these
countries with the United States.
o
This custom of filing protests against
pending tariff measures Is altogether a
one-hided one ns relates to tho United
States and tho i atlens which have made
theso protests. Tariff laws come and go
with other nations and tho United States
pays not tho sllgl test attention. Tno
protective, system grows apaco In Kuropo
and clscwhero and such nations as
France, Germany, Austria-Hungary,
Spain and otrcra which aro now scolding
about our proposed new tariff, Increase
year by year or frcm period to period
their protective tariff rates, but In all
theso cases tho Wcrlrt over tho United
States his never entered n protest of
general character against anybody's tar
iff laws or proposed legislation. There
have been occasions In which the atten
tion of foreign governments has been
called to certain of their laws or regula
tions which seemed to bear unjustly upon
a single Industry In the United States or
discriminate against productions of this
country as compared with thoso of other
countries, but there Is no case on record
In which the government of tho United
States has offered any protest to a gen
eral tariff measure proposed by other
countries wl lch would bear with equal
weight upon all nations sending their
produco to tho markots of these counti les.
That any nation should assume to offer
a protest against a proposed law by an
other nation which law Is to bear with
equal weight upon tho productions of all
nations, artlclo by article, seems rather
absurd, but that these protests should
como from nations which themselves havo
a high and steadily growing protective
tariff, adds very much to tho Interest,
not to say to the Impertinence, of such
a proposition. It seems a little curious,
for Instance, to observe that Italy, whlsh
collects about five million dollars a year
tariff on American petroleum and equal
ly high rates on many other articles,
should bo offering a protest, either offi
cially or otherwise, against tariff leg
islation by the United States. Some peo
ple might suppose It a 'trifle Inappropriate
for Germany, which collects a tariff of
J2S3.C0 per hundred kllcs on certain grades
of clothing and 1.200 marks per hundred
kilos on other articles of a similar char
acter, to assumo to offer a protest against
tariff measures of any other country.
There might seem a slight Impropriety
In a protest from France, which places
a duty of J2S9.C0 per hundred kilos on
smoking tobacco and 3,000 francs per hun
dred kilos on cigars or cigarettes. So
nlso there might appear reason for criti
cism upon a protest from Spain, which
In her tariff places a trifling duty of 1.S00
pesetas on every four-seated coach or
calash Imported and 973 pesetas on each
omnibus and diligence. But there is u
practical tustness sldo to this question
of protests against our tariff and es
pecially as io tho probability of any ac
tion following these protests. It Is ono
think to make a bluff, while a measure
of this ehsracter Is under consideration,
and quite another to "call" the tarlrt
and commercial hand ot such a nation
as the Urlted States, especially under
tho circumstances existing with those
countries which aro reported as hinting
at retaliation in caso their protests arc
not regarded.
o
Among tho countries which are reported
ns offering objections, either officially,
unofficially, or In publlo prints in refer
ence to our new tariff, aro Japan, China,
Austria-Hungary, Oermany, France,
Italy, Turkey, Greece, fipajn, Nether
lands, Switzerland, 'Argentine, Moxico,
Canada and possibly Brazil, Less than
half this number have filed pro
teti at the iaw department, tut tncre
have been sundry grumblings and mut
terlngs nmong the others either It their
legislative bodies, in the Individual Ut
terances of their representatives hen?
nnd clsewhero or In the public press. The
practical business question with regard
to these people and government Is
whether they can afford to tak Any re
taliatory steps against a tariff which
makes no discrimination as between
countries or which does not discriminate
ngalnut any ono ot them individually.
It they were to nltempt retaliation by
American products from their markets
or discriminate against our productions
In nny wny It would bo exported, and
very properly, that tho United States
would return tho compliment by exclud
ing or discriminating agalnit the prod
ucts ot tho country which had taken such
action. The practical business results of
an occurrence of this kind would bo thnt
nearly every oho of the countries In ques
tion would suffer a greater loss in tho
sale of her products than would the
United States.
o
Of the fifteen countries Included In tho
above list, thirteen sell moro goods to
tho' United States than they buy from
us and tho total sales of the fifteen
countries In question, to the United Btates
aro hundreds of millions of dollars great
er than our sales to them. The results
would bo that If they should undertake
to exclude our goods from their ports,
similar action on our part would cut off
a much larger market for their producers
than would their action uffect tho markets
of our producers. An attempt nt retalia
tion by tho countries In question, with
possibly two exceptions, would thercforo
bo much moro disadvantageous to them
than to the United Slates. Hence tho
JmurobabJMty that the nations which
aro offering theso protests havo tho
slightest expectation that their action will
bo nnythlng mere than a mere bluff or
bo followed by nny attempt at retalia
tion by them In caso their protests aro
unheeded,
o
A few examples of tho commercial rela
tions existing between some of the na
tions in question and tho United States
will bo sufficient to show that theie is
no probability that they aro going to en
danger their own business nnd tho mar
kets for tholr own producers by any
steps which might) possibly close tha
ports of the United States against their
productions. In tho statements which
follow a ten years' ticrlod has been cov
ered In showing the commercial relations
between the United States and tho coun
tries In question, In order to give a fair
averago showing of the sales of thoso
countries to people of tho United States
and tho return sales of our products to
those countries. It will bo observed In
the statements which follow that In prac
tically every case, tic countries now sug
gesting retaliation which would affect
commercial relations, have sold us very
much moro of their productions than we
have sold to them, and therefore any ac
tion on their part disturbing or closing
these relrtlons would cut off a larger
market for themselves than they would
destroy for us. Japan has sold to us In
tho past decade $212,790,200 worth of
goods and bought from us $13,007,117 worth
of our productions. China's sales to us
In tho past ten years are" $1151,216,849 and
her purchases from us $34,219,710. Austria-Hungary's
sales to us In tho past
ten years are $83,301,481 end her purchases
from us $10,993,224. Tho total sales to us
of tho fifteen coutrles which aro report
ed ns complaining, formally or other
wise, of our tariff, have been In the past
ten years $4,M3,913.C23, while their pur
chases from us in the same length of time
havo been only $3,059,220,782. Thus they
havo sold us In the past decade $1,78-1,722,-84t
worth ot goods In excess of what
they havo bought from us or an averago
of $17S,472,2St per annum.
