Election day, November 8.
It la sad for our Demo'Titlc friends
tlint they must lie cllsatinolntail liy the
work of the Republican convention to
day; but It Is better that the dlsap
jiolntment should como to them than to
the Republican voters.
The Rc-opcnlng of the Schools.
That Is a noteworthy point made by
Ilev. Dr. Stronir In the temark that If
the rate of zrowth from 18S0 to 1890
shall continue, In 1920 tne cities of the
United States will contain 10,000,000
more than half of the population of the
republic, and will take control of the
national destiny. Thus we have It em
phasized that the pioblem of a proper
education of the youth of the city Is
one of the most Important problems be
fore us, nut simply In Its relation to
Individuals but Immeasurably more so
in Its beating upon the future of the
foclnl expeilment called the United
States.
As the teachers of Scrantor. re-enter
the school rooms today, to resume what
often in Informal conversation Is re
ferred to us their "j:rlnd," they should
carry with them the reflection that
though In a financial sense they may
not In every case be adequately ap
preciated and that not withstanding the
general Indifference, there's potentially
Is the really Important work which Is
being done In their time and vlclnase,
nnd therefore responsible, noble and
In the largest sense patriotic. The
teacher who Is susceptible to Inspira
tion and capable of worshipping an
ideal will carry this thought with him
throughout the ensuing year and make
It the continually benellcent secret of
his success. The teacher who Is not
thus responsive to the nobility of his
'mission should resign nnd go to digging
ditches or pounding stone.
Commodore Slngorly's Rerord advises
Pennsylvania Democrats to g-U togeth

The Future of Wheat.
Now that the benefits of dollar wheat
have been sufficiently exploited In the
press It perhaps Is time to look forward
somewhat. It Is well known that the
principal cause of the present high
price of wheat was the scarcity of
wheat and rye In Europe and the fail
ure of the crop in those countries that
ordinarily feed Europe. In the nature
of things we cannot expect this condi
tion of things to become permanent.
Next year, or the year after It, na
ture may smile again In India, In South
America and In the great gralnllelds of
continental Europe Itself, and then the
American wheat-grower, having under
the stimulus of high prices planted his
utmost acreage, will find himself with
a large yield for which the expected
foreign demand will not reappear. How
will that affect him? "Wilt It cause a
reaction In the rural districts upon
which Mr. Urynn and his associate
traders on agricultural discontent can
build a new agitation for political revo
lutlon? Let us see. The maximum wheat
yield of the United States is 600,000,000
bushels In round numbers. This repre
sents as much wheat as the present
wheat fields of the entire republic can
produce when nature Is propltltous and
when wheat Is given as we may say the
right of way. The American crop this
year Is not expected to amount to
more than 500,000,000 bushels, of which
possibly 200,000,000 bushels will be ex
ported, leaving 300.000,000 bushels as
the amount to be consumed at home, or
4 bushels per capita. If In 1S97-S, dur
ing a period of recovery from a pro
longed depression In nil forms of busi
ness activity, when economy had Im
pressed Itself upon the family life of
the people ns an imperative necessity,
the consumption of wheat Is 1 bushels
per capita. It would seem to be reason
able to expect for the iMisulncr year from
say, July. 1S0S to July, 1S99, a per capita
consumption ranijiu from 5 toObusheU.
The fact that the people of the United
States have in one year of plenty 1S83
consumed as high as G bushels per
capita gives us ground for expecting a
larger consumption next year than this,
nnd Increasing from that year onward
in proportion -both to the Increase in
general prosperity and the natural
growth In population.
If next year the growth in popula
tion Is 1,000,000 and the per capita con
sumption of wheat is 5 bushels, wo
shall have n home demand for 30,000,000
bushels, leaving a surplus for export
of not under any circumstances to ex
ceed 220,000,000 bushels, but more like
ly to' be from 100,000,000 to 120,000,000
bushels. Such a surplus could easily
bo disposed of to Europe even were
the world's yield restored to normal,
because tho famrne In India and the
seed needs of the Argentine and Rus
sian districts would necessarily cur
tall their supplies available for ex
port. The year following with a per
capita home consumption of C bushels
and a growth in population of 1,000,000,
we should exhuust 402,000,000 of the 600,
000 to C00.000.000 bushels of our yield,
leaving a surplus for export that would
afford but slight if any embarrass
ment. Thenojt irwj'il, the naturul
growth of the United States In popula
tion would gradually solve the problem
of a remunerative market for the
American farmer's wheat until at a
tlmo not many years distant the dif
ficulty should he, not how lo get rid
to advantage of wheat that wo don't
need, but how to import sufficient wheat
to supply our Increasing needs.
Of course, dollar wheat is a tem
porary price duo to transient condi
tions; but there are permanent forces
nt work toward a gradual raising of
the price of Wheat ftom the level which
has characterized It during the past
five years, nnd it seems reasonable to
bellcvo that the farmer's long night Is
giving way to the dawn of a happier
and better day,
Since the shindy at Reading both Mr.
(Jarmnn nnd Mr. Lenahnn have Issued
statemeats explaining their respective
nttltudes In tho matter. A careful pe
rusal of these documents, together with
collateral Information, Induces the be
lief that Luzerne county during tho
next few years, ample though its di
mensions be, will be decidedly too email
to hold both of theso enterprising cit
izens with comfort to them nnd to tho
community, and It therefore becomes a
question which one ought to get out.
Wo huve given careful thought to this
phase of the problem, have weighed It
Judicially nnd endeavored to eliminate
from our Judgment every element of
purely personal preference or bias, but
the only satisfactory conclusion which
we can reach Is that he ought to get out
who Is carried out on a stretcher, Let
the broil proceed.
Consideration Wasted.
The Havana correspondent of tho
Sun affirms that nt a recent gathering
In Hnvnna of Spanish officials and
membeis of the Union Constitutional
party In Cuba a letter from General
Azcurraga, Spain's new prime minis
ter, was read. Parts of It are quoted,
notnbly these:
"The Spanish patriots In Cuba ought
not to entertain the least apprehension
about the mission of Mr. Woodford.
According to the government's infor
mation from Its representative In
Washington, the Intentions of the
United States aro probably much ex
aggerated, and besides our position Is
so clear nnd our determination to re
pel any unjust pretension of that na
tion so emphatic that we are resolved
before yielding to go to all extremes,
even to war If necessary, In order to
defend our sacred rights In Cuba. Nor,
If we go to war, shall we be less con
fident of the triumph of Spain. We
will be the champions of the great po
litical principle of European coloniza
tion In America against that wrong
idea that tho United States is the ar
biter of national life and property in
tho New World. We will have tho
sympathies of Europe, no doubt about
that, and Europe will not consent to
our expulsion from Cuba. The day In
which, by the power of arms, or yield
ing before a war-like pressure from the
United States, wo shall give Cuba up,
that day would be the eve of England's
loss of Canada nnd Jamaica, nnd
France's departure from her American
colonies. No, Europe will not consent
to our failure, and apart from the fact
that our arms will have a better oc
casion to display their strength In a
contest against a civilized country
than In the guerrilla fights In the man
lguas of Cuba, we shall have, even If
we fall, a hand to lift us up in tho
last moments.
"General Woodford will bo received
and even welcomed as our mourned
Don Antonio (Canovas del Castillo)
wished to welcome him. If ho brings
only claims of American citizens harm
ed in Cuba attention will be paid to
those claims as far as they are Just.
In a friendly manner ho will be noti
fied nlso of Spain's right to claim oth
er damages, and Instructions will be
given for the purpose to our minister In
Washington. Rut it will be a great
mistake if he intends to suggest any
other kind of American interference In
Cuba. Canovas did not answer tho
proposals for home rule made by Presi
dent Cleveland; but now, If the United
States persists, the answer will have
to be given. It will be straight and
firm. It will end forever all those vain
pretensions of the Americans to rule
outside of their land. Spain will say
that she does not admit in the least
the right of the United States to inter
fere In Cuba, that the war between
the Cuban rebels and Spain Is but a
civil war, a contest of family, and that
foreigners ought to keep hands off.
And Spain will stand by her answer
whatever the consequences may be,"
It Is to be wished for the benefit of
all concerned that these quotations are
genuine, that the prime minister of
Spain, if occasion shall offer, will stand
by them, and lastly that occasion will
speedily offer. If It shall be necessary
for the United States eventually to go
to war with Spain In consequence of
Spain's inhumanity and obstinacy in
Cuba, the sooner the unpleasantness
shall be over the sooner will both prin
cipals In the encounter breathe freely
and be In n position to enjoy peace. It
will simply make for additional mis
chief if this government shall hereaf
ter pause In the performance of its
plain duty out of wasted consideration
for the mulish braggarts at Madrid.
Let us see what other power In Europe
would have the effrontery to try to
stay our hand.
Evangelist Merrell. who is now hold.
Ing tent meetings in Philadelphia, is
evidently a pessimist of a very uncom
promising type. He showed up a mass
or statistics Sunday calculated to con
vince tho most happy-go-lucky individ
ual In existence that the United States
Is growing no better fast. Among tho
enormities brought to prove his the
ory Is that last year $22,000,000 wns
spent on chewing gum. He concluded
his nark ana gloomy picture by pre
dicting that before January 1, 1900, the
American nation will groan In an ag
ony of revolution, that there will bo a
hundred drops of blood for each gem
that flashes on the necks of tho rich
and pampered women, ten days of
blood for each tear that has washed
tho faces of the poor, and several other
very unpleasant occurrences. As a
calamity howler, Rev. Mr. Merrell cer
tainly beats Bryan.
p
Tho Mlllvllle, N. J girl, Amy Sur
ran, who was dragged away Into a
swamp and beaten almost to death by
her lover, Michael Gallagher, who be
lieved she was accepting attentions
from other men, now declares with
truo dime novel theatrical effect that
sho loves him better than any man
she over saw, although to set him at
liberty will be to forge nails for her
coffin. The only possible cure for such
a gooso is to have her marry Michael
and receive a sound beuting every doy.
That it Is high tlmo in this country
to put higher the bars against immi
gration is generally conceded; but facts
on tho subject are always Interesting
and hero are some: New Tork'o for
eign born population constitutes 42.23
per cent, of Its total population; that
of Chicago, 40.93 per cent,, of Mil
waukee, 38.92 per cent., of Boston, 35.27
per cent., and of Philadelphia, 25.74
per cent. Dut London nnd Vienna
have each but 2.2 per cent, of foreign
ers and Berlin has only 1.1 per cent.
Wo have been far too hospitable.
Mr. Bryan has had his say relatlvo
to 'tho growing divergence between
the market valuo of wheat and silver.
He occupies three columns with reiter
ations of the theory that If a rise in
wheat now causes tho farmers to re
joice, the subsequent fall, when tho
present foreign famine Is ended, will
cause them to return to a condition
rlpo for his picking. This wo submit
Is a fair synopsis and a Just condensa
tion of his argument. It may have
been the best argument that he could
havo put up, considering tho circum
stances; but entire sllenco would have
been better. The Nebraska apostle of
free silver might better try to whis
tle down a gale than to attempt to
convince the farmers of the Northwest
that dollar wheat on n gold basis, 100
cents good, Isn't worth mentioning.
The railway problem Is open to ap
proach from a different point of view.
On Jan. 1 last there were 182.C00 miles
of railroad In the United States, and
the average qo?t per mile, including
everything was $59,732. In other words
our railroads represent an Investment
of $10,000,000,000, and the fact that their
net earnings for tho year 1S90 amount
ed to less than 3'4 per cent, ought to
convince the sensible man that the
railway business is by no means an ex
tortion. A net Income of only 3V4 per
cent, on Invested capital offers small
Inducement to further investment.
From a selfish man's standpoint gov
ernment bonds would be preferable, for
the Interest on them Is steady and tho
purchaser runs no risk.
"A man who comes here to mine,"
writes n correspondent at Dawson City,
"does It at the expense of his health,
and It Is a question of making a for
tune quickly or taking chances with
death." But of course the rainbow
chasers will continue to take chances.
In their rash gamble for wealth tho fact
that their own lives are the alterna
tive stakes makes no difference. Advice
Is wasted.
Consul General Lee returns from
Havana nt the same tlmo that a letter
Is published from the prime minister of
Spain asserting the readiness of Spain
to tell Uncle Sam, If he says anything
sharp about Cuba, to go to the bow
wows. Is this merely a coincidence
or is it a precaution?
Says Mr. Bryan: "The Republican
papers which are today cilllng atten
tion to tho price of wheat ni simply
laying up for themselvos oddltloual
trouble." Well, trouble of that Mnd
makes business hum. Theroforo, let It
come.
Dearer bread Is a price which we
havo to pay for prosperity, but prosper
ity like that which Is now coming into
evidence is wortli It,
One thine seems to be certain. Con
gress at Its next session will have some
thing Important to say on the injunc
tion question.
THE KLONDIKE GOLD BUG.
Editorial nnd News.
To havo niraln to record a. shameless
pleco of political treachery on part of tho
citizens of Klondike. At tho caucus last
nlglit tho claims of tho editor of tho
"Hug" were ruthlessly cast aslclo by en
unuppreclutlve mob and Jake Woods was
nominated for the ofllco of mayor
In our stead. We should bo tempted
to allego that boodle had been used
but for tho fact that Jake's mother-in-law
paid his faro from Seattle to Klon
dike. In order to get him out of the coun
try, knowing that ho would never get
enough together to make the return trip.
Wo know this and also know that Jnko
owes a big bar bill down at Slatter's
and that tho support of tho pavllllon was
given Jake s candidacy on condition that
he shall pay up when elected as fast as
his salary will warrant. It la a sad com
mentary on the degeneracy of the camp
when such a man as Jake Woods should
bo elected In preference to ourself.
Docs Klondike need a curfew ordi
nance? That is tho question which agi
tates the public. Wo think It unneces
sary. Tho weather is Mich, a greater por
tion of the year, that the one promising
kid who resides with Mr. and .Mrs. Hill
Scrogglns will scarcely venture to ex
poso Mb threo nnd a half year framo to
tho night air after 3 o'clock p. m. Until
Sammy Scrogglns arrives at the age of
ringing door bells and placing "tlck
tncks" on our windows there Is no ne
cessity for passing laws to keep him In
nights. Ring the curfew on such non
sensical legislation!
Hilly Bush has an ambition to bo
United States senator from Klondike.
Billy Imagines that he Mould look well
In a frock coat In tho halls of congress
and wo have been nsketl to support his

calculated to swell tho hood of this am

St. Jacob's oil before ills name will ever

UTILIZATION OF UCI'USK.
From tho Springfield Republican.
Lord Kelvin's declaration at the To
ronto meeting of tho British association,
that tho greatest Invention of our times
is tho utilization of the refuse of cities
may seem a surprising and exaggerated
statement, yet It is hard to set a limit
to tho gain to the world from this proc
ess If It cornea into general use. Not
to s-peak of tho advantago of doing away
with tho foul garbage which now pol
lutes our rivers, the economto gain Is
enormous. At Shoredltch, Eng., where
tho system has been applied, there aro
12 furnaces, burning between CD and 60
tons of rcfuso dally, working day and
night. Tho power gained Is used to light
tho city and heat baths, and there Is a
surplus of motor power to let. Work
men's dwellings are being fitted with
meters on tho pcnnydn-the-slot plan, giv
ing light for six hours for a penny, Tho
wusto product Is given away at present,
but ways of utilizing It for the manufac
ture of paving stono are being devised.
Tho former expense of $10 a day for re
moving tho garbage Is eaved, and tho Item
of heating the baths saves J5.000 a year.
A new public library costing half a mlllon
dollars will bo built from the profits of

HONORABLE.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
Tho term "Jingo" has como to bo an
honorable appellation In the United States,
because It stands for American self-respect
and sagacity, and because It Is used
as a term of abuso by thote whose patriot
Ism Is flabby and inert.
fln Invasion of
' Guaranteed Rights
Rochester Democrat nnd Chronicle.
It teems to us that It Is of vital Impor
tance that all respectable ad thinking per
sons In the United States should ho unan
imous ns to this matter of lynching. It
also seems to us that the only reason why
nil respcctablo nnd thinking pirsons mo
not unanimous Is tho fact that the really
Important matter, lynching "per se," Is
continually being forgotten and neglected
for tho comparatively unimportant acci
dents of some slnglo lynching, or does of
lynchlngs, that, for the tlmo being, hap
pen to bo especially occupying the public
mind and furnishing tho texts for the dis
cussions of lynching. People fancy that
'they aro thinking o.nJ talking nbout
lynching when they are, In reality, think
ing and 'talking about tho accidents of a
filnpjlo lymcMng or a, single dlas of
lynchlngs. Thus race prejudice, sectional
prejudice, natural detestation of the
abominable crlmo of somo guilty man who
has been lynched, natural sympathy for
somo Innocent man who has been lyncJicd,
and countless other coloring matters, all
of which are, In reality, quite Irrelevant
to tho discussion, creep Into It, take pos
session of It and make it futile.
o
Men of every color, black, white, red
and yellow, and of every race and nation,
aro subject to lynching and have been
lynched In tho United States. Men In ev
ery section of tho United States, north,
south, oast and west, are subject to lynch
ing and have" been lynched. Innocent
men and guilty men are subject to lynch
ing and havo been lynched In the United
States. Offenses of every grade, from
rupo down to umpiring a ball game In a
manner unsatisfactory to tho spectators,
aro subject to punl&hment by lynchlngs
and havo been punished by lynching In
tho United States. So to fairly and use
fully consider lynching In tho United
States wo must thoroughly understand
that tho term "lynching" Is so general
that It covers every case of lynching and
must ellmlrnto from the consideration
every thought of accidents (such as color,
race, nationality, guilt. Innocence, etc.)
of any lynched Individual, every thougiit
of the accidents (such as the place, di
rect and immediate occasion, etc.) of
any special or special class of lynchlngs.
o
Furthermore, It should bo clearly and
fully understood that wo are, for tho
present, looking at this subject from a
point of view common to every human
being .resident In tho United States; that
wa aro regarding only the aspect of It
that Is of equal and vital Interest and Im
portance to evc-ry living soul In this
country: that we aro considering It only
as It equally threatens tho sacred, com
mon right to be fully protected by the law.
In life, liberty, person and property
against everything except the law Itself,
that Is equally held by every man, woman
and child, white, black, red or yellow, na
tlvo or foreign, virtuous or vile, prisoner
or free, high or low, rich or poor, unac
cused or convict on tho gallows, within
tho limits of the usurped Jurisdiction of
Judge Lynch, which aro no less wide than
tho geographical limits of tho United
States. The Individuality of tho person
lynched Is thus out of the consideration
altogether. He enters it solely in his
quality of denizen of tho United States
and representative of a common right
equally possessed by every denizen of tho
United States. The accidents of any sin
gle lynching or class of lynchlngs are out
of tho consideration altogether. Lynch
ing la In tho discussion only as an Illegal
Invasion of a sacred, common, vitally
Important right.
o
Having now before your eyes tho real,
naked, lynching question, stripped of all
Its distracting non-essentials, what, over
which any two sano denizens of tho
United States can argue, can you tlnd In
It? Whenever a denizen of tho United
States Is lynched a right common to every
denizen of tho United States Is Invaded
and every denizen of the United States
suffers. Whenever a mob, anywhere In
this country, lynches any man, that mob
lynches you, whosoever, wheresoever (In
tho United States) you may be. The plain
fact plainly stated Is that tho very bad
and terribly dangerous habit of killing
out of hand anybody against whom anger
Is, for any reason or no reason, temporar
ily aroused, Is rapidly growing on the peo
pjlo of this country. If tho habit Isn't
checked It will, sooner or later, become
tho fixed and universal custom of the peo
plo of this country. Which is to say tha,t
If this habit Isn't checked, this nation's
relapso into savagery is only a matter of
time.
IRRATIONAL IMMIGRATION.
From the Illustrated American.
Tho question of how far and along what
lines Immigration to this country should
be restricted. Is muddled by a confusion
of Ideals. This confusion dates almost
from tho day when wo declared ourselves
an Independent nation. Wo set out to bo
a model democracy. In these states was
to bo carried to Its consummate develop
ment the democratic tncory of govern
ment. Tho people were to be ruled by
the people; and ancient monarchies were
to bj shown how beneficently the people
could rule. This as a sane Ideal, alto
gether consistent with our temper and
capacities as a race. Tho Instinct of self
government was In our blood.
o
But, at tho same time, through contem
poraneous sympathies, wo imbibed to
somo degree the Ideals of the French
revolution; and "Liberty, Equality, Fra
ternity," se med to us a gospel for all
mankind. Wo enthusiastically proclaimed
that these states were to be a refuge for
tho oppressed of all nations, where they
should teste the sweetness of liberty
and be lifted to political manhood. This
was a broad and humane Ideal. It looked
like a perfect supplement to tho Ideal of
democracy. It hns taken us nearly a
hundred years, In fact, to llnd out that
tho two Ideals are flatly at variance.
Tho hard, Inescapable fact Is that men
are not born equal. Neither are they
born free, but all In bonds to tholr an
cestors and their environments. Many
achieve freedom, but by no means all.
The success of government by the people
will depend upon the stuff tho people are
made of. Tho people must rcalizo their
responsibility to themselves. They must
guard, moro Jealously even than their
liberties, tho quality of their blood.
A democracy like ours cannot afford to
throw Itself open to tho world. Where
every man Is a lawmaker, every dull
witted or fanatical immigrant admitted
to our citizenship is a bane to tho com
monwealth. Where all classes of society
mergo Insensibly into ono another every
alien Immigrant of inferior race may
bring corruption to the stock, There ore
races, more or les3 akin to our own,
whom we may admit freely, and get
nothing but advantago from the Infusion
of their wholesome b'.ood. Hut there are
other races which we cannot assimilate
without a lowering of our racial stand
ard, which should be as sacred to us as
tho sanctity of our homes. In reality, It
It only an old, long-settled civilization,
where society is divided by lnflexlblo
lines of caste, that can afford to open
hospitable gates to Immigration. This
country, tho citadel of domocracy, must
conflder the quality of thoso coming
generations whose hands will make or
mar her destiny.
