CXCOND CLASS UAH. MATTER
SCnANTON, JULY 15, 1897.
Tho selection of John Ball Osborne,
of this city, for a consular position, re
ported to havo been made by Major
JIcKlnley, was a presidential compli
ment to Mr. Osborne's father, the gen
eral, who durlnc their terms together
In congress was Major McKlnley's close
friend. It will probably not be charged
to Pennsylvania.
dive Hawaii an Answer.
The decision of the senate com
mittee on foreign relations to uikp
the prompt consideration of the Ha
waiian unnoxatlon treaty Is based no
less upon considerations of Immediate
ncre'lipn.cy than upon those of ultimate
wisdom. "The matter having arisen for
ipttloment, it Is essential to the con
venience of all concerned that It ba
settled without undue delay.
A conservative minority In the
T'nltod States opposes annexation on
general principles, just as it has op
IiosedPtior propositions for tho ex
tension. 3f American dominion; but It
has otfered no reasons which might not
ns well be considered at once as at
some Inter time. On tho other hand,
the obvious eagerness of Japan to frus
trate tho consummation of the new
treaty and Its equally plain desire, des
pite diplomatic assurances to the con
trary, to acquire the Hawaiian Islands
itself, If not by open seizure, then by
the no lees dangerous process of grad
ual colonisation, constitute important
nnd, as wo view them, Imperative
reasons, for an Immediate fulfilment
of the purposes ot tho United States. If
we mean to take Hawaii, let us do so
and have the uncertainty ended. If
not, let us so notify the Hawaiian gov
ernment, and thus afford it an oppor
tunity to carry Its overtures for an
nexation to a more favorable quarter.
The oulnlon of The Tilbune upon
this Issue has already been expressed.
I1 tavoiE annexation unequivocally
nnd with enthusiasm, and vlown In the
present opportunity nn incomparable
chance to (secure permanent protection
for our present and future Interests
In the North Pacific. Annexation will
safeguard our commerce In tho years
to come and It will convey strategic
position of Inestimable alue In tho
happily Improbable but always pos
sible contingency of war. Against these
twin advantages the plea that Hawaii
will necessitate naval enlargement and
invohe a race problem counts In our
judgment ns naught. Kveiy bargain
costs something: but tho bargain
we would get in Hawaii would be
worth Its cost, not once or twice mere
ly but a hundred times over.
One of the principal reasons why a
fruitless row ought not to be precipi
tated nt this time over the somewhat
humhugglsh subject of cuirency reform
Is because the country is tired almost
to exhaustion with legislative w tang
ling and wants a rest.
A Tennessee Utopia.
In this day of socialistic dreamers
It is refreshing to learn that In nt least
one community the ideal of these vis
ionaries has been approximately real
ized. Tho Buffalo News give a de
scription of a communistic organiza
tion at Ruskln, Tenn , which is Inter
esting if true, and we have no reason
to doubt Its truth. Tho colony has 74
families, with a total population of
213, and that In the three years of its
existence It has prospered Is shown In
the Increase of its joint holdings fiom
$37,000 to $80,000.
This singular settlement, tho work
of nn Indiana country editor named
Wayland, lives, according to the News,
as ono great family. It has a govern
ment of Its own by the people. It has
Its own system of money, tn which the
standard of value la an hour's labor.
Supplies are had at the geneial com
munity store in exchange for labor
checks, tho price list reading: "One
pound of tea, 11 hours: one cut of to
bucco, 2 hours; one pound of ct ackers,
2'A hours; one pair beat shoes, 70
hours," etc. Theso labor checks con
stitute the communtly money, and the
holder never exchanges them for legal
tender unless ho has occasion to go
beyond the limits of the colony. Larh
member must work, when able, at his
trade, if that best suits tho needs of
'he community, but at anything else
If there Is no demand for his pellicu
lar ciaft. Thus far a day's work is 10
liouts, but it is hoped to reduce this
soon to eight with a Saturday half
holiday. The wife Is paid an much as tho hus
band; the community agrees to support
tho widow as It supported the man,
ngrres to educate tho children, prom
ises a pension for tho nged, supplies a
perpetual home and maintenance for
Its citizens so long aB they or their de
scendanlH shall prove honest at heart
and willing to sew, spin and reap for
the common good. It rates the labor
oi tho talent of each alike, and even
gives tho children labor checks for at
tendance at school. Taxes aro paid by
' the association. Medicines and mad!
cal care cost nothing. A community
laundry takes caie of the linen.
Tiiete Is a kindergarten for the small
children, whllo tho older children are
taught music, languages and Indus
trial training. There me no financial
Inequalities, and no social distinctions.
One person, or one family, Is as good
as another. Industry and good behav
ior aro tho only excellencies of cltlzm
ehlp. The colony has no religious ride,
nnd every one Is left to choose his or
lief own mode of worship. Tha lead,
crs of the movement believe that It
would bo Impossible to establish a com
monwealth of equality among people
divided on theology. Though several
worship In outsldo churches, tho ma
jority are agnostics.
The success of this experiment cov
ering a period of three year affords,
however, no adequate test of the com
munUtlo principle. Lit a colony like
this, made up of congenial and care
fully selected persons, bo located In
somo fertile place far away from the
main channels of human Industry and
Intel course, and It might easily carry
Itself forword for a. generation, par
ticularly If Its organizers be men of a
tranquil disposition. The test would
oomc when tho second generation arose
to try Its wings In Individual flight.
Then contentment with standstill con
ditions would give way to clashing
ambitions, curiosity to mix with the
world at larce and the venturesomo
spirit which would soon snap these vol
untary communistic ties asunder.
While oilier Journalists In this gen
eration have been more prominently
Identified In the public mind with tht
remarkable development of tho news
paper Industry which liaa taken place
In the last decade, tho late Frank Mc
Laughlin as publisher and chief owner
of the Philadelphia Times probably
did moie than any other representative
of tho craft to mak the newspapers
of the United States attractive and
artistic In appearance. It was his Idea,
that a newspaper should not only be
well edited but also neatly printed, nnd
no expenue ever deterred him from in
troducing Imprtvements In tho me
chanical dep.utment. In consequence
tho Philadelphia, Times became admit
tedly tho model journal of tho country
typogiaphlcally and always locked a
work of art. AVhat this hos meant for
tho eyesight and good taste ot the
reading public It is Impossible to cal
culate. The contrast between the ap
pearance of the Philadelphia and tho
London Times, for example, speaks
louder than woids a tribute to Mr. Mo
I.aurhlln's superior Judgment as a publisher.
Deforming the Ballot Law.
Tho Philadelphia Times thus eum
marlzes tho amendments made In tha
last legislature to the Pennsylvania
ballot law:
1. Tho llllng of an affidavit with tho
prothonotary of tho county by llvo citi
zens representing a political organization
that they havo adopted a certain namo
or appellation gives tho organization they
lepiescnt tho exclusive right to the u?e
of tho name upon the official bil'.ot.
2. Prohibiting tho duplication by nomi
nation papers of tho namo or appellation
of any party convention, prlmaiy or can.
cus representing a political party which
at the last election polled two per cent,
of tho total vote cast.
'A Itequlrlng that certificates of nomina
tion and nomination papers for presiden
tial electors, members of congress and
state ofllcerx, Including Judges, senators
and representatives, shall bo filed with
tho secretary of the commonwealth fortj
tuo and thlrty-flvo days respectively be
foro the election insteid of thlrtj-flvo
and twenty-eight dais as now.
4 In ease objections aro Mod to certi
ficates of nomination nnd nomination pa
pers for presidential electors and state of
ficers the court of common pleas must
hear nnd decide upon the objections at
least sixteen days before tho election In
stead of nt tho olscretlon of tho court .is
now.
5. I'pon the oftlelnl Inllots the namo of
any candidate shell not appear more than
onco by certificate of nomination or more
than once by nomination papers.
"It Is dlmcult," adds the Times, "to
see wherein the law Is Improved ex
cept In tho matter of preventing tho
stealing of a party namo by lries
ponslble or bogus oiganUatlons, and
for that matter If a bogus organiza
tion were to file Its affidavit with tho
prothonotaiy first the real organiza
tion would be compelled to ndopt a
new name to get on the ballot at all.
None of tho changes will tend to re
duce the size of the ballot. The pres
ent system of voting an entire ticket
by placing tho cross mark In a clicle
at the top of the column Is retained,
and tho amendment to section nine
renders It Impossible for two or more
organizations to nominate or Indorse
the same candidate nnd get his name
printed in their respective party col
umns. In bhort, tho amendments make
tho law a more perfect device for com
pelling straight party voting and dis
couraging and oven preventing Inde
pendent voting than it Is at present,
If such a thing Is possible."
Perhaps that was what tho framors
of these amendments had In mind.
Wo think It will be generally conceded
that tho last legislature had unusual
reason to fear Independent voting.

torial candidate shouldn't boast but

Mugwump Silly Blllyism,
Tho Providence Journal, In "hew ailing
tho ajleged recreancy of President Me
Klnley to civil service reform, remarks
with a sob: "Already, the president
has shown that he cannot bo trusted to
observe the requirements of reform
principles. The filling of tho ofllces
outside the classified set rice he has
openly tinned over to tho members of
congress, only asking them to namo
tho men they want appointed to the
positions on which they assume to havo
a claim and agteelng to sign tho com
missions without question. So far as
can bo seen, he does not try to he-arch
out suitable men himself and makes no
Inquiries regarding the fitness of those
recommended to him. It Is n sorry
record that he is making "
Let us examine this curious criticism.
Suppose a president, in the midst of his
innumerable duties, were to undertake
to "eeareh out buitable men himself"
for the thoucand and one minor posi
tions In the unclassified public service,
from janltois up. Would It not bo
qulto as bad for him to distribute
"spoils" as for tho congressmen in the
dlstilcts in which the applicants live?
Could he bo expected to know more
about these various applicants from all
over the country than the memliers of
their several districts? Is not tho re
sponsibility upon tho member urging
Mm to choose candidates for theso po
bltlons acceptable to his constituents
fully as great as it would be upon the
president? Might not the time of a
president of the United States bo bet
ter employed than in tho work of "ex
amining" the claims of eveiy Tom,
Dick or Harry who aspliea to fold
papers In tho capltol or address
envelopes In some of the federal de
partments? To tho member It Is a
small task, because only a few ap
pointments go to his district; hut tho
aggregate bifrden If thrown on the
president's shoulders would occupy
nearly his whole time, to the obvious
detriment of infinitely more Important
duties.
As we understand tho facts, President
McKlnley Is now as firm a fiiend of
true civil service reform as ho ever
wobj but ho has not parted company
with his common eense, nor got bo
much enraptured with the Mugwump
fad that ho ran regard as "reform" tho
grossly partisan extensions by the pre
vious administration of tho civil ser
vice rules to cover rewarded Demo
ciatlc henchmen, whom Mr. Cleveland
wished thus permanently to foist on
the government pay rolls.
It Is already evident thai (he much-ti!ked-of
break between CJiiay and
Hastings amounted In fa"t t n very
minor misunderstanding. Tho senator
Is loo sensible a man to wish to step on
tho governor's to.-r, and tho governor,
nltl ougli rlchtfullv mindful ot ths
duties and dlanlty o! his ofhee, Is too
biond-mlnded to court or consider a te-
newal of factional conflict. Put for the
bu'-ybodles that hang oi slit coat-tails
o! treat nest thero would doubtleis
have Leon no suggestion of unfriendly
intent between these t.vo baders. A
few days will surely still this latest
timpcst in a teapot.
Some of the papers credit Governor
Hastings with senatorial aspirations.

should again change his mind the stnte

than the governor.

Will Qaay Beat
Cameron's Record ?
"Pcnn" in Philadelphia Bulletin.
Senator Quay announces himself as a
cuulidate for United States semtor for
the third time. If he can elect next eur
a leglaUituro wllch will iserve that pur
pose, ho will have done what only tho
Camerons succeeded in dolns in Penn
sj lvanla obtaining election to the sena'o
for moro than two terms. T.ioso who
have thought that he has been meditating
retirement do not understand the man or
his methods. There is no likelihood that
ho will bo disposed to get out of politics
until either ), Is carried out or until nge
has sapped a good oeal moro of his Intel
lect and e-rergy than It has even et be
gun to do. Men who remember him as. a.
outh before the war, coming home fto-ii
the south, whero ho had been something
of a roving pedagogue, say that he did
not then have tho appearance of a man
who v ouJJ live much beyond the middle
years. lie was not only delicate, but had
a manner suggestive of shyness and dif
fidence, as, Indeed, he jet has. Now, in
his flxty-fourth e.ir, he has both a men
tal and ph steal alertness, when his na
ture Is aroused, that few men nro capable
of at that age. With an Inherent love of
eas-e, fond of his books In bis solitary
communings as he is of his fishing rod,
he has ai nstonlthlng capacity for arous.
Ing suddenly to vigorous and long-sustained
action In tho handling of a multi
tude of petty and onerous details. He Is
as much capable apparently of hard work
as ho was when, as chairman of the Re
publican state committee, he pulled Hoyt
through tho governorship In the desper
ato campaign of IS78. During tho long
Harrison campalpn ot If8S he felt da ef
ter day as if, to uso his ov,n words, ho
would like "to put a quart bottle under
his vest;" but not until the election was
over was ho willing to relax. His cam
paign in Ponnsj lvanla In tho summer of
IS; reminded mo of tho celebrated de-
wcilptlon of tho Duke of Luxembourg
when he was attacked by tho allies. Tho
great Trench marshal had kept guard
ciroiessly; ho had neglected warnings,
nnd hid taken fale Information: ho had
been taken bj surprise, and he had first
looked upon It slightingly; but It was In
tho midst of the confusion and disorder
which prest led a sure rout that his clear
and unerring Judgment was at its best,
and, rallying tho housohold brigade to do
Its woik with tho cold steel, he shattered
tho army of the coijltlon, and won his
greatest victory on tho Held of Stelnkltk.
o
This is tho way In which Quay, with
lieutenants ot marked Inferiority to him
self for tho most part, and frequently of
no popu'arlty, has been ablo to hold his
own, for Oils strongest qualities ure usu
ally seen at their best In nn emergency or
crisis. Some of his friends thought that
ho had cut five years off his life in travel
Ing thousands ot miles up nnd down the
state In the summor of 1E93, writing or
dictating thousands of telegrams and let
ters, and attending to tho thousands cf
little details in his marvellous memory
and In his knowledge of tho politics ot
slxty-soven counties. Ho Is at about tho
samo ago as Simon Cameron v as when
he went off to Russia nfter ho was exiled
from the war department, but Cameron
hud yet to enjoy his career In Pennsyl
vania politics when ho came back. lie
was still to obtain tho complete mastery
of the Republican party in tho state, to
return to tho sonato twice, nnd almost
without opposition tho last time, and to
hand his seat over to Don: and ho was
seventy-eight years old before he actu
ally got ready to toast his shins for the
rest of his days at tho family fireside.
o
With tho exception of Cameron, no poli
tician In Pcr.nty lvanla, either Republican
or Democrat, has held sway ovar a park
nrgauliatlcn longer than Quay has al
ready done. Slrco jS86-7 his personal su
premacy has ben maintained Tho senior
Cameron was sixty-eight years old when,
after his final rout of tho Curtln forces,
ho had alsposcd of nil ltvaJs who could
ever again break him down, but Quay,
since ho was fifty, ilias been piactlcnlly
tho controlling force of tho stato oralza
tlon Thero havo been periods ot per
sonal ascendancy In tho Democratic party
that havo lasted from two to seven years,
llko the Wallace, tho Randall, tho Scott
and tho Hautty .regimes, but each of
them wa finally overwhelmed or deposed
or forced to tho rear.'
o
Up to the time when Quay entered the
senate there had aetuaHy been but five
persona that had gone there from the Re
publican party, and two of them were
Camerons. Tho other three, Hdgar Co.v
an, John Scott and John I. Mitchell, were
single termers, all of them non-successful
in politics, and only one, Cowan, mak
ing a more than ordinary Impress on fho
senate, although ho has long been among
tho forgotten. Quay has probably been
tho ablest of them all, Simon Cameron
included. Without Rifts of speech, with
a cast of countenonco sometimes unat
trnctlvo ani setnilngSy sinister, without
Inrgo riches of Us own and rather care-
lens of opinion, ho hns ruled the ReptJD-ll'-an
party by tho sheet force of nienlhl
power, a. full ind exact knowledge ot
Pennsylvania temper nnd sentiment, and
n realization of tnc fact that tie stanl
ard of political morality throughout the
state Is based un conservative and tin
sentlnental ethics. IJy a large portion of
tho people of this state moral reformers
or advanced thinkers nro Instinctively dis
trusted, the phlloKophy of this peculiar
coidltlon, which SliT.on '"ameron tonrly
learned, wns In the mixed character of
tho races and creeds that make up Penn
sylvania, and such virtues as thrift, cau
tion and sturdy sense are jnoro relished In
a public man than eloquence or showy
parts or moral enthusiasms. Matt Quay
with his simple habits, plain garb, acces
sibility, his readiness to serve his friends,
his tolerance of their weaknesses or vices,
his fnlrneja In helping those who help
him and his belief that regard for tho ma
terial, rather than tho moral, interests
of Pennsylvania will do moro for Its
greatness and hnpplness stnnds n good
deil closer to Pennsylvania's un
emotional temper, especially tho temper
of most of tho great country countle,
than somo of us think for. An emotion
In Pennsylvania politics Is a rare thing:
tho Ulnlno sentiment was one, nnd yet
the Camerons and Quay crushed It tlmo
and again.
o
Quay's Influence over young men has
been one of the secrets of his power. Ho
cultivates young blood when It is likely
to bo grateful nnd dependent. No man is
more of an adpt In citchlng a bright
young fellow, perhaps not long out of
college with fine Ideals of public life or
somo 'self-made" country lad glowing
with the Impulse foi iv career unci publld
usefulness Despite his constitutional ret
icence he can bo very winning to such
men Charles S. Wolf, In Illustrating tho
difficulties that men of honest purposo
had to undergo at Harrlsburg, said that
Quay's fascinations were nt times Irre
sistible In their subtleness, and the sense
of Intellectual superiority they suggested.
I hive a recollection of u night tn Janu
ary, 1S79, on tho cvo of Governor Iloyt's
Inauguration, when ho delighted the par
ticipants In that nocturnal episode nt the
Lochlel tho proclaiming of tho emplro
and the coronation of Georgo Handy
Smith as tho Duke of Southwark with
his easy, good-natured complilsance when
he was dragged In from his room by tho
Duke's minions and consigned by A. Wil
son Norrls, the minister of war, to a
mythical Pastille Tho next morning I
happened to bo near the open door of his
apartment In, the hotel where an excel
lent Scotch-Irish Presby terlan clergyman
was seemingly highly pleased at his views
on theology, tho visitor having suggested
tho subject by iomo allusion to Quay e
father, who wa3 a Presby terlan preacher
In York county. Now there was nothing
In the contrast to Indicate the hypocrite
in these things, only an instinctive nfTa
blllty; but it is In some such little cour
tesy or favor, In some promise promptly
kept, In tho certain reciprocity for a hei
vi:e done him and In the Impression pro
duced of a really great mind that a man
may trust or lean up agatnsd If ho Is in
trouble or needs worldly wlslom for his
counsel, that Quay has found much of his
loyat follow Ing.
If Quay shil! return to the senate for
n third term, the chances are that he
will stay there until he goes back to Bea
ver, as Simon Cameron did to Donegal.

From tho WIlkcs-Barre Times.
The Scranton Republican Is led by Its
personai feeling of animosity Into doing
an Injustice to Congressman Connell In
calling him a "demagogue" because of an
Interview with him publisaed in the Phil
adelphia Pre-sis In which ho says the sti Ik
ing soft coal miners are la the right and
ho hopts they will succeed.
Mr. Connell Is rUht and his views co
incide with those of every other well In
formed person w'ioso business brings him
Into a knowledge of tho coal trade. Pres
ent conditions ns regards the efforts of
tho operators to hold up prices are very
different in the two regions, the unsatis
factory condition hero being largely tho
result of the action of tho soft coil oper
ators Instead of trying to restrict tho
output vvlttin something llko market re
quirements and then being able to com
mand a decent and living prlco which
would enable- the operators to pay their
miners good wages ,ie soft coil peoplo
have pushed production to such an ex
tent that tho market is flooded and they
cannot sell their coal at a profit and must
cut wages to make both ends meet.
This overproduction and consequent
cheapness ot bituminous coal has caused
many forn.er useis of anthraclto to
change from hard to soft coal, thus rob
bing us of a tonnngo to which we are en
titled, but which we shall never get until
the soft coal operators are compelled to
raise their selling prices through a sue
cessful combination ot the miners or a
restriction of tho production. We can all
Join with Mr. Connell In tho hopo that the
strikers will win.
