John Lelsenrlnff, of Upper LehlRh.mak
Iiir so far the thlid active and avowed
contestant for next year's chief nomin

dacy had lieen taken fcr granted for
man months and had even reached
the stage warranting1 central head
quarters, t remained for the Republi
cans of Luzerne county, In convention
on TueKlav, to make official presenta
tion of the fact to the Republicans of
the state, which thev did In language
"both compllmentaiy and earnest
The ambition to be chief executive
of the second commonwealth In the
union Is one which no man need apolo
gize for; and when we consider the ln
frcquency with which, In the past, this
honor has come to the not theastern
quarter of the state, and bear also In
mind the lopld strides which that sec
tion has lately made In Industrial nnd
political Importance, the claim of this
region for recognition becomes by no
means Inconsldeiable. Wo asume
that It Is primarily with a view to
demonMiatlng this fact that Mr. Lels
enrlng consented to become n candi
date, and we fuithei assume that, not
withstanding some foolish talk by care
less lieutenants, he desires to main
tain friendly relations with other prom
lnent Republicans In the neighborhood
who have alko been urged to contest
for a proper recognition of northeast
ern Pennsylvania's claims, to tho end
that should a concentration of forces
eventually tecome desirable it could
be effected without embarrassment.
On this hypothesis the formal proc
lamation of Mr. Lolsenrlng's candidacy
can be viewed with equanimity. The
candidate himself, if lackinc the pro
longed PNpcrlenre In public life and
widespread peisonal acquaintance of
some of his competitors. Is nevertheless
a young man of admirable business
qualities, alert, energetic and forceful;
and during his single tcim In congress
he exhibited a grasp on new- duties and
nn aptitude for social diplomacy that
would nugur well for the common
wealth should he ever be chosen as its
chief executive.
That part of the Reading platform
which refers to state Issues gives a
g-ood Illustration of tho pot calling the
kettle black.
Cuba's Next President.
It Is apparently already assured that
In the election In Cuba today of
a successor to President Clsneros the
choice will fall upon Bartolome Maso.
Maso Is a Spaniard In descent; that
Is, his ancestors came from Spain and
he himself lecelved his education in
Tarls and Seville. But he is described
as a resolute and uncompromising ad
vocate of Cuban Independence, so firm
In this belief that when, nt the be
ginning of the present insurrection a
deputation of Cuban autonomists from
Havana waited upon him and urged
him to" cast his lot In favor of admin
istrative reforms rather than war, he
listened patiently to what his visitors
had to say and then Informed them
that while they were at that time free
to returrr In peace the next time they
attempted to seduce him from loy
alty to his oath as a general In the army
of liberation ho would treat them as
spies and give orders for their prompt
execution.
A writer In the Sun, speaking from
personal acquaintance with the man,
sas that should Maso succeod to the
presidency of the Cuban republic there
"would be no possibility of a comaro
mtse with Spanish arms. Under
his administration there can be
no home rule, no autonomy, no
peace until the monarchical emblem of
red and yellow is forever banished
from the Island of Cuba, There Is no
vacillation, no half-way measure, in
Masp's. composition. During the
doubtful period of 1SS0 to 1890, when,
djseouraged by the failure of what was
known ns the 'little war,' most Cu
bans lost hopo and seemed to be in
doubt as to what step would be for
the best, Maso nlone stood out for
absolute independence. 'Thero Is no
other way out of the dllllculty.' he
said. 'We must either bo free men or
be slaves. Spain will permit no Cu
ban to bo anv thing but a tax-paying
serf. If we would have self-respect,
we must have independence. This
Spain will never give until compelled
to. If we cannot enjoy freedom our
selves, let us light and win It for our
children. To me the very thought of
autonomy under the Spanish ling Is
degradation and disgrace. Rather
than submit to it I would go to tho
mountains and live tho llfo of a her
mit. There I might be free to think
without paying tribute to Spain.'"
Mao, this writer continues, "Is a
great admirer of the United States. '1
have studied your republic carefully,'
he onco said to an American visitor.
'I have great confidence in your people
and In your Institutions, but still I do
not understand then Your govern
ment Is supposed to represent tho peo
ple. It is selected and placed In pow
er to carry out ther will, and yet
this It so often seems to fall to do.
Your lulers, when In ofllce, do not
Beenr to be studying tlie. desires or the
welfare of the nation To me they
seem rather to be trying to see, how
few promises they may fulfill nnd still
rcmnln In oillcc. I trust tho United
States (the people), nnd I do not trust
her. That Is, I put but little faith In
tho party pledges nnd administrative
promises which are so often held out
to Cuba. Your congressional resolu
tions and legislative expressions of
sympathy have many times raised
great hopes In our breasts, but the
li responsive nnd to us cruel lndlffcr-'
ence of your administration has put
an end to such thought long ngo. We
feel that from the United States, at
lenst, we are entitled to tho recog
nition of belligerency. We will bo
grateful If It ever comes, but we have
ceased to expect It. Tho single star
of our flag is emblematical of our fate.
We have got to light our battle for
freedom nlone. This century seems too
busy to furnish us with a Lafayette.
Hut, what Is It ou say In English?
We w 111 get there Just the same.' "
iSuch a feeling toward the United
States Is natural from a Cuban stand
point. It cannot be held by any dis
passionate student of our attitude to
ward the two Insurrections In Cuba
that we hnve acted toward the Insur
gents as from our own historical an
tecedents they had a right to expect.
Rut if we have moved deliberately
and without that impulsiveness which
I.s so characteristic of Latin-America
the progress of Americans In practical
svmpathv for tho Cubans in revolt has
not been Inconsiderable. It may be
doubted If tho present insurrection
could last two weeks were all aid
from the United States cut off. The
slowness of our government In moving
toward a final adjustment of the Cu
ban situation Is dlfllcult to defend, but
If the present administration shall
eventually fulfil the expectations of Its
friends the words of Shakespeaie will
applv: "All's well that ends well."
Mr. Plngorly pronounces the Reading
convention the most disgraceful ever
In Id. and savs "the opportunity for
solidity this iar and for success next
year has been thrown awav." The loss
of this mvthleal opportunity Is not
worth grieving over; but there's no
question that the convention as a spec
tacle merits nil that Mr. Slngeily savs
of It.
The Great Business Revival.
The Springfield Republican has no
use for a protective tariff nnd it is not
especially enamored of any other pre
dominant political feature of the time,
but It Is shaip-ejed and candid in re
porting facts At the outset of a long
editorial lev lew of the business situa
tion It ues these significant words:
"It is difficult to portray the amazing
change that has come over the whole
face of the business world. Where
hardlv more than two months ago
doubt, hesitation and depression of
spirit prevailed, all Is now life, activ
ity and high expectancy. Gold dlscov
eilos, tailff expectation, sound or un
sound, and high crop prices, all coming
together by sttange chance, have given
the commercial body such an electric
shock as has not been expeilenced In
eighteen jears "
Some facts which It cites are worthy
of repetition. Everybody Is familiar
with the lecent bounding Jump In thf
cereal market, but not everybody In
these parts appreciates what a change
has taken place for the better In the
wool market. "Here," says the Repub
lican, "had been enormous Importa
tions nhead of the tariff and such ac
tive trading as was supposed to have
exhausted tho energies of that market
for a time. Rut the sales at Boston
last week break all records 12,453,200
pounds, against the pievlous highest
point of 11,578,000 in the last week of
March. Prices have also risen until
they touch a fifty per cent, advance
over the lowest of the season. Here
Is the Boston Commercial Bulletin's
table of prices for August 28 of the
years named -on a few staple varieties:
Scoured
Terry Kentucky
Ohio XX. Mich. X. Delaine. U-blood.
1S92 28c. 25c. COc. 27o
1S91 20 IS 3G 19
189G 17 14 SO 15
1897 26 22 50 23
Prices are thus nearly back to the
point ruling prior to the panic and the
free wool enactment and arc still ad
vancing. They are close to tho im
porting point under the high tariff, and
there Is talk of further outside pur
chases and Importations. Indeed,
American bujers will attend the Lon
don wool sales In Septembei, and this
In face of the fact, ns generally ad
mitted, that the country had loaded up
with a two-j ears' supply of foreign
wools prior to the passage of the tariff
bill."
Wo prefer to glv e these facts In quo
tation, so that our readers may be
sure wo are not exaggerating. Tho
Springfield paper adds: "The commer
cial agencies report a general advance,
and increased trade all about. Rail
road earnings reflect this and so do
bank clearings outsldo the speculative
centers. Pretty much all the textile
mils of Rhode Island are said to be
running, practically all the cotton
spindles in Tall River are now active
and factories all over New England
are resuming work where previously
stopped. Woolen manufacturing re
mains paitlcularly active. Tho dry
goods markt reports more active In
quiry with prices firm. All tho voices
that fill tho air those of manufactur
er, merchants, traders and farmers
are of the new commercial llfo and hope
full to the point of extravagance."
And yet there Is a wing of the De
mocracy which has the effrontery to
cry calamity and to abuse tho admin
istration under which this marvelous
commeiclal revival has been so prompt
ly and so happily Inaugurated!
With tho local fall trade beginning
to reflect the prosperous conditions of
business generally, It becomes doubly
necessary for the merchants of Scran
ton to uro discrimination nnd good
Judgment In the placing of their ad
vertisements. Tho Tribune Is will
Ing to bo judged ns an advertising
medium bvjthe results which follow Its
Intelligent use.
A Xf-port Is In circulation that while
the president was In Tioy last week a
collar and cuff manufacturer tecured
his signature by false representation
to an Indorsement of a certain brand
of collar. The president vvas asked to
write his autograph In a memorial al
bum In vvllch a false leaf had been In
serted containing tho text of th'o In
dorsement, which the president over
looked. It Is also said that this manu
facturer subscribed $500 to the enter
tainment fund nnd then made It up
bv docking the pay of his employes.
This Is the substance of a current news
dispatch. If facts arc ns alleged, It Is
too bad that the manufacturer's name
Is withheld. Tho public, wo suspect,
would like to know It.
The nomination yesterday of Hon.
Seth Low fdr mayor of Greater New
York, by a group of citizens acting In
dependently nnd declining to enter into
nny agreement looking to tho union of
all the elements opposed to Tammany,
will In all probability precipitate a
three-cornered fight, In which tho worst
element will win. That Is the vvny
such fights usually terminate. Hatred
for Piatt appears to weigh more heav
ily on tho Mugwump mind than con
cern for consequences. But It was over
thus.
Savs Congref-smnn Grosvenor, one
of the pillars of the Republican party,
"I am wholly out of accord with the
system adopted In West Virginia under
which Judge Jackson Issued his perl
patotlc, roving Injunctions. His views,
as I understand them, are bid law, bad
morals and worse politics" We be
lieve that this will be the ultimate
judgment of the conservative portion
of the community.
After the passing of Bryanlsm, what?
THE KLONDIKE GOLD BUG.
Ed.torinls and News.
Wo feel that we owe tho readers of
this week's "Bug" an npology for print
ing the paper on the Inside of dusty flour
sacks. But the fault is not ours. Wo
ordered from Sitka In plenty of
tlmo a consignment of our usual rng
fibre, but when It reached the local of
flco of tho Aurora BorealN express com
pany tho ple-faccd gyastlcus who runs
that awful example of cold-blooded mon
opoly refused to surrender it to us be
cause he bald we owed him for the ex
press.igo on the last lot We deny the
Imputation and defy the lmputator. The
fact Is that if accounts were squared
for all tho guff which the "Bug" has
hitherto printed about tho Aurora Bore
ulls people, their debt to us couldn't bo
paid with tho season's clean-up of half a
dozen claims But wait, Willie, wait un
til tho "Bug" slops over on 'em again.
Ike Hemvood visited our offlco last
Tuesday nnd informed us that he pro
posed to enter tlic push for sheriff. Iko
brought a couple of nntcdlluvlan cigars
nnd suggested that wo accompany him
to Shlatter's and hape a nip at that now
consignment of forty-rod which camo
last Thursday to gladden tho epiglottis
of tho faithful. But we were onto Ike.
Wo refused tho Invitation to drink and
gavo tho cigars to our landlord's con
sumptive nephew. The terms for politi
cal booming In the "Bug" are strictly
spot cash, nntlcd up In advance, with n
copper-cinched piper giving us a grub
stake in tho earnings of the office.
Klondike has a new woman Its second.
Sho got In vesterday and rumor has It
thnt she Intends to make the rounds of
tho camp selling n book entitled, "How

occasion to state that with bacon at $1
a pound nnd liquor held at fifty cents

Nou, Is the Time to
Ptish the Fighting
rrom the Commercial Advertiser.
Wo hopo the Republican national com
mittee Is making full use of tho resourc
es at its command in allelic states where
important elections nro to be held this
fall Tho committee should not permit
Itself to bo deluded by the Impression
that this Is an "off vear" becauso neither
congressmen nor a president aro to bo
elected. As wo have repeatedly pointed
out, tho elections of 1S97 are of peculiar
Importance. Last ear's presidential
contest was of no common order. For
tho first time In its history the United
States saw repudiation and defiance of
national authority formally proclaimed
ns articles of faith by one of Its great
parties. For tho flist time tho theories
of socialism were embodied in one of the
two leading platforms and tho Integrity
of our courts was violently assailed.
That attack on public credit, on national
honor and on American Institutions wns
beaten back. Tho free silver fanatics,
tho champions of communism, the advo
cates of the policy of plunder under Alt
gcld, Tillman Bryan and tho most reck
less demagogues of an era overflowing
with demagogy were defeated by tho
forces of sanity and honesty. Tho tlmo
Is rlpo for following up this victory with
a crushing blow which will make a repe
tition of last year's sinister and abnor
mal conditions permanently impossible.
o
Tho stars In their courses fight for the
cause of stablo government and sound
currency. Tho tremendous wheat crop,
with tho coinciding scarcity of grain
abroad, helps to bring prosperity to the
farmer, whllo tho enactment of a pro
tective tariff has given a distinct Impetus
to tho manufacturing and mechanical In
dustries Tho man who tills tho soil, the
man who tolls In the factory and the
man who stands behind the counter are
all beginning to feel tho effect of better
times. Thero Is n keener demand for
labor. Idleness Is no longer enforced up
on Industrious men. Wages show a ten
dency toward greater firmness. Farm
ers aro paving off their mortgages and
taking fresh courage ns they contem
plate tho prolltnblo prices of nearly every
ono of tho staples of agriculture And
all this, bo it remembered is taking placo
under tho gold standnrd tho standard
which Mr. Bryan and his associates de
clared depressed prices, reduced wages,
beggared tho farmer and made a return
of prosperity out of tho question whllo
it endured.
Now Is tho tlmo to drive the lesson
home. Tho Republican party In every
Important Btato of this union stands for
thoso things that make for public right
eousness and real progress. It Is for tho
gold standard. It Is for equitable pro.
tectlon. It upholds tho Just authority of
tho Federal government with unswerving
resolution It Is pledged to keep tho
courts above tho fear of mobs and tho
contaminating touch of demagogues.
Everywhere In Ohio, In Kentucky, In
Iowa, In Maryland, In Nebraska Its tri
umph by decisive majorities means tho
rout of tho forces of disorder nnd dis
honesty. The larger tho Republican vote
this year the safer will be every poor
man's dollar Invested In savings banks
nnd mutual aid associations. Tho great
er Its victory tho stronger confidence
In our Institutions and' currency will bo
on both sides of tho Atlantic. A Re
publican sweep In 1S97 means that tho
task of electing a Republican congress In
H9S will bo ensy; It means that tho Mc
Klnley administration will enter upon
Its second year of office with tho added
power of emphatic publics approval of Its
work and policies. Bryanlsm Is crippled,
but not yet dead. This Is tho tlmo to
smlto and llnluh It, Republicanism Is en
trenched In governmental authority. This
Is an opportunity to make Its position
Impregnable. The Republican national
committee ought to havo all these con
siderations In mind. It should begin a
straightforward, aggressive campaign on
nutlonal Issues at onco und keep It up
until election day.
GET TOGETHER!
rrom tho Commercial-Advertiser.
Tho moro tho light of Intelligent In
formation Is thrown upon tho present
strike of coal miners tho nioro Is public
interest aroused. Tho caso of tho etrlk.
ors Is certainly a pitiable one, nnd their
grievances nro real. From tho results of
tho Investigation ordered by Governor
Mount of Indiana und conducted by Stato
Statistician J. B. Connor of Indianapo
lis nnd Judge T. J. Terhuno of Lebnnon,
tho apparent nverngo wage per day of
tho Indiana miner runs from $1.62 to J2 00.
But this Is not tho full statement of tho
case. Tho ordinary "picker's" wages Is
considerably less. Three tons n day nt
47 cents per ton Is tho usual pay, or $1.41
for n day's work. Out of this the miner
must pay, for oll.povvder and pick sharp
ening, an average of 12 cents for each
ton mined, whllo tho necessity of pat
ronizing tho company store In some In
stances and of living In company houses
In more reduces tho wogo to the $105 per
day that remains Deductions again
must bo made for losses when tho mines
aro shut down, tho records showing that
thero was an averngo of only four full
days' work a week during tho past year.
It Is not strnngo that tho squalid condi
tions of living necessarily resulting from
Birch an Income should awaken discon
tent and a determination to make nn
earnest effort for better circumstances.
o
On tho other hand, tho condition of tho
operators Is ono of difficulty. In the ab
sence of organization fierce competition
has greatly reduced tho prlco of coal.
Tho operators underbid each other in
making their j early contracts, and then,
In order to meet their obligations, re
sort to every device for cheapening the
output, In this effort the miners' wages
have been the first to suffer, although In
tho end of tho competition has proved
ruinous to the operators. It is stated
that operators have been known to con
tract for coal delivered on tho car as
low as 63 cents per ton. In making these
contracts a "striking clause" Is carefully
Inserted, so that If tho miners should
strlko they will bo released from tho
contract. Tho coal business has thus
reached tho point where thero Is neither
profit for tho owner nor living wages for
tho laborer. The consumer Is undoubt
edly benefited, but It Is nt the expense of
the coal miner. Both the miners and tho
operators have their grievances, and
there aro many difficult knots In the
problem.
o
In the main tho strikers have conduct
ed themselves In a manner to awaken
public sympathy with their cause. But
If It Is tho duty of tho strikers to seek
redress by peaceable means. It Is eouallv
clear that the owners or operators should
cease their ruinous competition. The
emplojers aro bound to consider tho In
terests of their employes. The refusal
of the Indiana and Illinois operators to
confer with those of other states Inter
ested, such as Ohio. Pennsylvania and
West Virginia, must meet with public
condemnation. Combinations undoubted
ly have their evils But they accom
plish one good in giving steady worit
and steady wages In the present In
stance, In which even tho operators pro
fess svmpathy for their employes, tho
one duty Is by some means to agree to
gether whereby higher prices shall bo
obtained for the product of thiir mines
nnd better wages for tho miners.

THE HEATHEN.
Willi Apologies to Rudynrd Kipling.
The heathen In his folly cats anj thing
that's good.
Ho doesn't try to chooe tho food that sci
ence sajs he should;
Ho dies, gray-haired and wearj', at four
score vears and ten,
And what most sorely vexes him Is that
ho can't cat then.
Keep away from pickles, keep awaji
from spice.
Keep away from cabbage, cornfield
peas and rice.
Nov or eat a thing that's sweet, and
alwajs eat It cold,
And thus jou'll save your Intellect
from growing stale and old.
The heathen has three meals a daj' and
sometimes ono at night,
Ho thinks his early breakfast to be his In
born right;
Ho rises in the morning and hears his
hunger call
He never heard that science proves It
isn't thero at all
Keep away from breakfast, keep away
from tea,
Keep away from lunches, wherever
they may be.
Never let jour midday meal be cither
largo or rich,
And every morsel you may take, be
careful which Is which.
The heathen drinks the water that bub
bles from the spring,
He thinks thut If It slake3 his thirst It Is
the very thing;
He'll kiss his sweetheart on tho lips In
stead of on tho chin,
And not suspect that ho commits a scien
tific sin.
Keep away from pollywogs, angle
worms and files,
Keep away from Insects of every sort
and size.
Never breathe a microbe in unless jou
you cough him out.
For he muy have the chicken-pox, the
measles and tho gout.
Tho heathen fills his system with deadly
elrugs and weeds,
He works until he's tired and rests more
than ho needs:
Ho sets his brain In action when It should
be In repose,
And then he adds djspepsla to his many
other woes.
Keep away from appetite, kef-p nv.ay
from thirst
Theso of all the foes An earth to scl-
enco aro tho worst.
Keep away from exercise, keep nwuy
from thought,
And you will Hvo until you die, If
you're not sooner caught.
