Election day, November 2.
Certain local papers seem disposed
to mako political und circulation cap
ital out of tho present labor situation.
Their wild and anarchistic sentiments
.'may have little wcleht, J'ot the efforts
to create or aggravate discontent with
a larns class of people Is not to their
credit any more than It Is to abuse
every newspaper which they term a
corporation sheet because It takes a
conservative stand In the Interests and
for tho benefit of all concerned In tho
present crMs. It Is safe to assert that
not one of the proprietors of theslJ
papers which are now endeavoring to
Incite labor against capital ever did
anything to promoto a labor Industry
In his whole life. In their present at
titude they are much like the man
who burned his neighbor's barn In or
der to roast two eggs for himself. I3y
their Ill-advised words they would pro
duce a national calamity.
Birth of the Republican Party.
The National Fremont association
held Its reunion in Pittsburg last Fri
day and Saturday in celebration of the
forty-first birthday of the Republican
party. In speaking of th interesting
occasion the Pittsburg Chronicle Tele
graph says:
"Tho members of tho Fremont asso
ciation eaw the principles for which
they contended find acceptance with
tin nation In a comparatively short
time. Tho Republican party did not
elect Us first candidate for president,
but Its fecond candidate, Abraham Lin
coln, was successful. The people of the
North had gone through a long process
of 'education on the necessity fcr the re
forms advocated by the new party,
principally Its animosity to human
bondage, and they were ready to throw
their influence In Its favor.
"The surviving Fremonters have seen
the Republican party triumph In eight
national elections since they cast their
votes for tho candidate from whom
they derive their name, and they have
the satisfaction, this year, of witness
ing a revival of prosperity by reason
of the triumph of the cause of honest
money and protection to home Industry,
championed by the party which they
helped to bring Into exlstenco."
Tho convention In which the great
party was formally instituted was call
ed to meet In Pittsburg Feb. 22, 1S5G.
This convention was the result of a
conference held In the same city No
vember. 1S53, between Salmon P. Chaso
nnd David N. 'White, editor of tho
Pltts"burg Gazette. At the February
convention Owen Lovejoy, the famous
anti-slavery orator and congressman,
made the opening prayer. Horace
Greeley, Joshua It. Giddlngs.F. P. Blair,
of Maryland; Zach Chandler of Michi
gan, and many other men whoso names
belong on His honor roll of history, wera
present.
At the convention held on June 17 In
Philadelphia the fit-3t Tatlonal Republl
cap ticket with tho namea of Fremont
and Davton at Its head, wns placed in
the fiold. Well may Pittsburg take
pride In this reunion of men who in 11
few years will gather on no more such
historic occasions, but whose work In
assisting In the formation of the Re
publican party will have dono moro
to keep thi:-lr names In memory than
can be accomplished Jn the ordinary
life time.
Tlicra is no objection to free speech
at any stago of tho garni. It Is the
fellows who confound free speech with
maniacal and Incendiary ravings who
aro objectionable.
A South Polar Expedition.
Whllo expedition after expedition
has been fitted out for the purpose of
deciding tho location of tho North
Pole in years past no ono savo the
whaler seems to have taken any In
terest In the Antarctic region.
It is unqestionably a fact that
around tho South Pole lies tho largest
unexplored region on the face of .the
earth, and an ocean the animal life of
which exceeds In variety and richness
that of any other known water. No
field Is so promising for scientific and
oeeanographlc, researches, it Is, there
fore, not visionary to express tho hope
or to have th,e expectations that the
fjerlaohe expedlton will bo fruitful In
Ma results, Most of the voyages to
ward Antarctic regions ha,ve been com.
merclal Jnterprlses for commercial
ends. They havo been In the Interest
of companies organized for securing
cargoes of guano, or n search of the
sperm whale,
The knowledge, that an expedition Is
o bo fitted out for purely geogran
Ideal and scientific purposes to visit
the -South Pole, Is gratifying coupled
with tho announcement that .the
United States la to bo represented In
tho person of Dr. Fredrick A. Cook,
tho Arctic explorer. The ship Belgpa
haB been constructed expressly for tho
purpose, and la fitted out with nil the
appliances which Arctic explorations
havo proved necessary, TJie members
of tho expedition have also been care
fully selected for their experience and
BclentlHo attainments, The results of
tiU venture win not v known (or two
years, and they will bo awaited with
Interest. If tho conjecture that human
life exists In this vast unknown con
tinent, of possibly three mlllon squaro
miles, should bo proven true, It would
make tho expedition historic. Aid do
from this, It may at least be expected
that many matters of mere theory or
hypothesis concerning tho south polar
regions will bo set at rest.
Judging from published accounts tho
amateur quarantine official Is inoro
dangerous than yellow fever down In
the Southern stnten. Violent methods
adopted to enforce tho quarantines laid
by one town against another nw dally
adding new terrors to tho yellow fever
epidemic. Shotgun cordons liavo been
established to shut oft communication
with the Infected districts, and now the
people of Jncksou, Miss., are threaten
ing to burn tho nearby railroad bridges
unless trains from Vlcksburg and
towns on the New Orleans route run
through tho state capital without stop
ping. Til precautions taken to check
tho spread of the epidemic are, perhnps,
Justifiable, on the broad ground of self
preservation; but In the rigor of their
amplication they undoubtedly savor
bomewhat of panlc-strlekun Inhuman
ity. New York as a Health Resort.
Dr. Hubbard "Wlnslow Mitchell, of
Now York, Is authority for tho state
ment In tho Medical Record that hered
ity In pulmonary diseases Is not so im
portant a feature as has been tra
ditional for many years. Ho declares
that tho rejection by Ufa Insurance
companies of a healthy appllcant.whose
parents had died of consumption, Is
unwarranted, so far as his own obser
vation goes.
He also asserts that contagion from
personal contact at home, In hotels or
sanitariums, or from Inhaling the
breath of a phthisis patient is very
doubtful. However, a source of dan
ger is found in kissing a patient, while
tho common house-lly may be the
means of spreading the disease. He
accepts, of course, the theory that the
greatest menace Is from the sputem
containing bacilli which are so widely
distributed In tho dust of the street,
In public vehicles and various other
ways.
Contrary to the belief which Is ex
ceedingly popular just now, Dr.
Mitchell states that In his opinion
locality and soil play an unimportant
part in the disease. In sending cases
away to higher altitudes and distant
resorts the physician gets rid of the
patient, but not of tho disease. Tho
only benefit to be derived from resi
dence at extremo elevation nbovo sea
level Is In the general health of the pa
tient, as tho change of air has not the
slightest eifect on tubercle bacillus It
self. He advances the somewhat novel
theory.galned from considerable experi
ence, that no place is better for the
treatment of consumption than New
York city. Patients who have come
from every state in tho union, from
Europe, Canada, the Sandwich Islands,
and from health resorts In Colorado,
California and New Mexico, are doing
better In New York, with Its clear air
and bright sunshine, than in the local
ities named. This will be Interesting
to the many allllctcd ones who have
rushed In agonized desperation from
pine land3 to mountain steeps, from
plateau to the soft and balmy nlr of
Southern climes, to gain relief for
loved ones or for themselves.
Dr. Mitchell further suggests, In the
way of treatment, that while It seems
doubtful whether the subcutaneous In
jection of any special remedy or
whether medical Inhalations are of
lasting benefit in active ulceration of
the lungs, tho Introduction of some
remedy into the body at short Inter
vals for a long time that will saturate
the blood, and acting as an antiseptic,
modify or destroy the baclllls, must bo
the ideal remedy.
For medical treatment ho recom
mends a solution of the halogen group
of salts with the hyochlorlde of sodium.
Above all, rest and sleep are the most
powerful aids.
Yellow fevr has not as yet been
Include In the list of terrors that await
excursionists to the Klondike.
Hard Lines for Teachers.
School boards are apt to be Impulslvo
at times In the way of making rules.
When a particular crisis arises they
straightway frame a resolution that
may caus considerable embarrasment
In every other coso to which it applies.
They havo been known .to Issue- edicts
forbidding money making by teachers
outside of earning salary In the schools,
Just to affect onu teacher they are also
on record ns prohibiting teachers from
tiding wheels, but it remained for a
Marlon county, AV. Va., school board to
pass the most candid regulation yet In
the history of education. It was to this
effect;
"Teachers must not malw love whllo
employed by the board or during school
hours. Tho violation of this rulo will
be sufficient cause for dismissal." This
now order would seem to be ono destin
ed to causo much consternation In tho
educational circles of Marlon, particu
larly since the provocation must have
been strong indeed to warrant Its an
nouncement, Not to bo allowed to
mako love to yio biggest boy, or th,i
biggest girl as the case might be, dur
ing school hours, may of course be a
deprivation, but If this order not to
make lovo whllo In the employ ot thi
board muet be strictly followed, there
will probably be a number of vacan
cies In the Marlon schools, which will
bo open only to applicants bordering on
e.twmo old ago.
In these dnys It peoms that no man
can hiivn om truly great until lie Jma
Indorsed somo patent medicine,
Possible Railroad Deal,
Much Interest la manifested In finan
cial circles over the sensational ad
vance In Ontario nnd Western railway
stock, Some strong Interest la cn
deavorlnsr to secure Its control, but
those whp ore supposed to know,
frqnUly admit that they are unable to
do more than conjecture on the mat
ter. It Is said that the Pennsylvania
la the real power In the movement, ns
It would more effeotually block any
scheme for building a rival lino to
Pittsburg, from Now VprU, whllo a still
Stronger hold on the anthracite coal
bysjnes? would bo obtained, u l also
declared that tho Pennsylvania It anx
ious to tccuro a firmer hold on tho
Susquehanna and Western for certain
strategic reasons.
If one or both of these rumored at
tempts prove to be true, the prophecy
regarding tho early cntranco of tho
Pennsylvania railroad Into this city
may bo fulfilled In a moro direct way
than has been thought probable.
An unfeeling newspaper writer
speaks of tho suppositional end of
tho unfortunate Mrs. Luetgert, as tho
"dlsolvlng' of a superfluous woman
In a vat of chemicals.
Sons Now Safe nt Yale.
Fond mothers, who contomplato send
ing their boys to Yale, will probably re
joice to hear that one grave danger
which menaced them at that college
has now vanished, since Miss Ncg
bauor seems this time to bo married
for keeps to Matthew Rordcn. She was
tho beautiful New Haven girl with
whom every college man proceeded to
fall In love as soon after arrival as tho
circumstances would permit. There
have been rumors of suicides becauso
of rejections by this superlatively
lovely daughter of a tailor, and It Is
asserted that many broken-hearted
youths have given up a college careor
and gono back home, nil for lovo of her.
Sho Is a thrifty young woman, for
she married young Rorden four years
ago, but as his millionaire father would
disinherit his son if tho marriage were
not annulled, she consented to a divorce
with a consideration of $15,000, which
sum was carefully invested. Tho other
day she rcmarrlad her former husband
and they have the $15,000 for their sup
port while ho secures a surgical prac
tice. The Municipal League of Philadel
phia proposes to oust Select Council
man Hmry Clay from his seat on ac
count of his alleged Interest In an elec
tric light contract with the city. It
seems rather a pity to allow anything
to Interfere In the matter of keeping
a man with such a historical namu
among tho city fathers of a. municipal
ity like Philadelphia where so much
Is considered to bo In a name. Even
In Scranton such a small matter would
not be allowed to Interfere.
The Strike and
the Coal Market
From tho Chicago Times-Herald.
Tho termination of the big coal strike
will furnish occasion for numerous homl
lotlca on tho enormous cost of tho strug.
glo nnd tho foolishness of the strike meth
od of compelling an adjustment of labor
disputes. That the cost ot tho striko
was enormous admits of no denial. It
was estimated a few days ago by Presi
dent Iiatchford at $8,000,000. From 100,000
to 123,009 miners wcro out of work In tho
states of Pennsylvania, Onio, West Vir
ginia, Indiana and Illinois. If the men
averaged 50 cents a day while at work tho
actual loss in w.iges would amount to
from $2,S0O,OW to $3,500,toJ, This estimate
takes no account ot tho general expenses
of maintains tho siege, which must In
clude salaries of labor "leaders ' and agi
tators and maintenance of tho families
of tho Idlo miners.
fl
it Is well to observe, however, that any
method of computation by which It Is
sought to arrive at safe conclusions re
specting tho losses sustained by labor
which Is not based upon actual market
condltkns is apt to bo fallacious. It Is &n
cay problem In mathematics to estimate
tho looses In wages by figuring the aver
age dally wages earned and tho number
of men engaged in the strike. That is tho
common method of catenating the losses
to labor Incident to great strikes, liut
such a method is based on tho presump
tion that If tho men had not struck thoy
would have had emplojment all tho year
at tho avrago wage sealo that was In
forco when tho supenslon was ordered.
That this Is not a correct basis of calcu
lation Is easily ascertained by reference
to the condition of tho coal market. Tho
price of coa, like that of any other com
modity, s a question of supply and de
mand. It fellows therefore that the prices
for mining It will bo controlled to a con
siderable extent by the same law.
o
Statistics of tho coal mining Industry In
dicate a great overproduction of coal and
a surplus of mining labor. Tho annual
consumption of bituminous coal is placed
at two hundred mU'Jcm tons, whllo tho
yearly production If the prosont forco of
miners was employed every working day
In the year would reach elx hundred mil
lion tons. That bituminous coal Is han
dled by tho operators and dealers at a
very close maigln It well known. The
coal Is lit only for fuel. It cannot bo
worked up In food for human beings or
for cattle. After being taken from the
earth thero Is a gradual deterioration in
its combustible properties, in other
words, it "will not keep." It Is truo that
tho wagea paid previous to tho striko
wero barely sufficient to prevent starva
tion. Tho stato Inspector of mines of
Ohio reported tho averago earnings of a
pick miner In Ohio In lfcM to bo only $221.53
a year, of $18.40 per month. Hut nono of
tho mlne3 were run full time, tho average
working tlmo reported being 151 days, or
less than halt tlmo,
o
Thoso who aro familiar with tho exact
conditions that prevail In tho bituminous
coal market malntntn that a suspension
of mining operations was inovltable. At
tho low pileo of bituminous coal It was
not possible to keep the mines In opera
tion much longer. If this Is true tho
statement that tho miners lost so many
millions by tho recent striko needs quali
fication. It is not .possible to lose that
which you do not possess, As a result of
tho two months suspension of productive
activity, the surplus product will havo
been nidiketed at advanced prices, and
tho miners will ugaln resume operations
at a sllgfltly advanced wage scale. In tho
meantime the mathematicians should fig
ure out somo practical plan for placing
tho bituminous mining Industry on a basis
that will leave a fair margin for the op
erators and the miners after the freights
aro paid.
DEADLY WQllK.
From tho Now York Sun.
Kverv newspaper now engaged in per
verting tho facts of tho Itazleton inci
dent, and In rtpresentlng tho sheriff of
Luzerno counties and his deputies as
"murderers," and tho rlotors who were
killed while resisting tho law as Ameri
can froomen massacrod because they wero
exercising their rights as freemen on the
public highway; every such newspaper,
whether Its Impulse bo anarchistic, or po
litical, or weakly sentimental, is engaged
u deadly wcrk.
No volley fired by the oftlcers of the law
Into an Ignorant and turbuianet crowd,
organized for law-breaking and refusing
to disperse when commanded to do so In
tho name of the law, can bo so deadly In
Its effect as this fusillade aimed by
pharneless; or foolish Journals at V sheriff
who understood that his duty was to dis
perse tho mob, not to allow the mob to
disperse liia posso and to brlnff the. law
into contempt,
This coddling of tho mob, this systc
matlo Invention of facts to oxclto sym
pathy for the victims of their own mis
deeds, this bestowal of honors pf martyr
dom upqn Maters killed in tho set of rfijt,
this Inversion of the right relations be
tween the representative of law and tho
man who defies tho law, Is a dangerous
pnd murderous enterprlso that will broed
further mischief und cost moro blood.
Tap shameless newspapers of sensation
and anarchy will persist In glorifying riot,
In making hctoes of tho mob, nnd in
citing the ignorant to Violence, and thus
luring thnm to death. The foolish or
weakly sentimental Journals will con
tlnuo to perform their part of the deadly
work until a .healthy public, sentiment
makes Itself heard concerning their crim
inal participation.
QEN. WOODFORD'S MISSION.
From tlio Washington Star.
General Woodford has now entered on
his official duties In Spain, and whether
ho proceeds swiftly or slowly, speculation
as to tho scopo and character of his In
structions will be widely Indulged In both
hero and abroad. Tho field is open to all,
nnd for tho present ono man's guess Is
about as good as another's. Three propo.
nltlons havo already received a good deal
of attention of this kind.
(1) Autonomy. Even Spain concedes
that Cuba has been badly governed, and
henco her talk about rofonns. Hut auton
omy, as understood in thu United States
and illustrated In tho caso of Canada, Is
not within Stain's moaflng as respects
any chango in her policy toward Cuba.
That Is admitted, even by Senor Begasta,
Precisely what autonomy Is In the. Span
ish conception of colonial government wo
do not readily grasp In this frco country.
Hut tho Cubans grasp It, and refuse It on
tho Bcoro that It is merely a trick a re
arrangement of burdens. They bcllevo
that they would be as much harried under
mo so-called autonomy as over, uviey
havo come to abhor Spanish rulo of any
kind and of all kinds.
(2) Purehnso of the island by tho Cu
bans, nils proposition is counted with
tho suggestion that part of tho price to
bo paid shall bo an assumption by tho
Cubans of a shore of tho enormous debt
that has been Incurred by Spain In tho
prosecution of tho present war. The bare
statement of this proposition Is uulUclent
to explain Its objectlonableness In Cuban
circles. Spiln has laid Cuba, waste, and
squandered mllllcns of money In perse
cuting tho Cuban people, nnd tho Cubans
arc to be assessed at tho top figure for a
desert, and for a full sharo of the money
expended In an effort to oxtermlnato
them. There need be no wonder that the
Cubans, even in their distress, laugh at
such a thing.
(3) Indepcndenco. Tho war still goes
on. Tho Cubans keep tho field and con
tlnuo to win victories. Spain Is bankrupt,
nnd has been fought almost to a stand
still. Why should not tho Cubnns Insist
on Independence? Why should they give
up, or dicker for .paltry terms, with suc
cess seemingly in Bight? Why not go on
until every vcttlgo of Spanish authority
is rotted out of tho island?
Tho United Stntw, thero Is good reason
to believe, is not at this tlmo behind any
proposition but that tho war In Cuba
should bo broi slit to a close. It desires
that result, and will nsMst in an honor
able and a proper way to bring that about,
but It would bo idle to deny tho fact that
with Independence for Cuba as tho result
tho people of the United States would feel
tho liveliest and slncerest satisfaction.
THE IIEST STItIKE UEl'OKTri.
From tho Sundiy News ,
The Tribune has contained tho best re
ports ot the slti&tlon at Ilazleton that
have appeared in any of tho papers we
havo teen, and we havo read all the pa
pers that have devoted special space to
It, Including New York and Philadel
phia papers. Tho Tribune Is supplied with
its reports by Mr. Thomas J. DulTy, Us
court reporter. Mr. Duffy has the faculty
of not only knowing news and where to
find It, but also to present it in accurate,
systematic and highly entertaining and
Instructive form. Ho Is one of the bright
est young newspapermen In the state and
hn a promising future. The News felici
tates The Tribuno upon its super-excellent
reports of tho Ilazleton striko.
THE "SIIOU" IS HERE.
From the American Economist.
President McKlniey was called by somo
prophetic follower, "the advance agent of
prosperity." Between November and
March tho free-traders more than once,
In an effort to bo .mart, said that never
was nn "advance agent" so far uhead of
his show. As wns pointed out to them
at the time, the delay In tho coming of
tho "show' was due to the United States
constitution, which put so long a tlmo be
tween tho election of a president and his
irauguratlon. How do those freetraders
llko things now? Even tho most hide
bound do not deny that prosperity Is here;
Is not In tho future, but In the present.
Tho "show" was not far behind tho ad
vance agent as soon ob tho advance agent
gqt a chance to get in his work.
THE ISSUE AT HAZLETON.
From tho Troy Times.
Tho lssuo at Ilazleton, Pcnn., a week
ago today was between law and Its deilers.
Thero Is another Issue, indicated by a col
lision between strikers and working
miners In tho eamo vicinity yesterday.
It is tho conflict between liberty unl
thoso who menaco the Individual's free
dom under tho law. Tho right to work In
legltlmato Industry Is ono of tho rights
guaranteed by the American charter that
declares tho individual's claim upon lib
erty. Law and liberty are birthrights of
tho American people, tr.d must and will
bo defended by them.
THEY ADMIKE AlIE'S CLOTHES,
From tho Jermyn Press.
Wo havo on several occasions admired
tho wonderful knowledgo of human na
ture possessed by Street Commissioner A.
P, Dunning, of Scranton. His latest man
ifestation of this knowledgo Is his deter
mination to clothe himself and his foro
men In uniforms. Dunning knows that an
officer In plain clothes Is passed by as no.
body; clothed In an Imposing uniform he
Is authority Itself, and all offenders aro
wary in his presence.
AUSTllIA'S SUDDEN AFFECTION.
From tho Lancaster Examiner.
Austria has suddenly developed an
alarming degree of affectionate interest
in tho Huns shot down at Ilazleton, Pa
by tho deputy sheriffs. If Austria would
treat Its Hungarian subjects In Hun
gary with somo semblance of Justice and
decency thero would not bo so many of
them emigrating to the Pennsylvania
mines.
THE ItESEIlVE STILL THEUE,
From tho Chicago Times-Herald.
Since those Yukon steamers havo not
yet brought down the millions with which
they were loaded by tho correspondents
thero must bo more gold up there than
was predlcteJ.
POOtt LITTLE VIOLET.
'J was so lonely," a, violet said,
As sho nestle! close to an oagle's breast,
"So tired, too, of tho dusk and tho dew,
God sent you, I think, to give mo rest.
Bear mo away to tho gates of day,
To heights that forever are glad and
green,
And soft on your breast aa a bird In Us
nest,
Let me learn what living and loving
mean."
Tho wind crept cold by tho eyrlo's edgo
That night, In his cavorn beside tho sea,
The bird slept well, but the prldo Of tho
dell,
Forgotten and faded, crlod, 'Ahl met
For tho sweet, sweet droam by tho shad
owing stream,
For the lenely life that I used to hate
For tho dusk and th dew so tender ami
truer
But the wind made answer: "Too late,
too a.lel"
Today In tho calm of his cold content,
HlEh on tho cliffs tho bold bird sits,
And never a thought of the. harm ho
wrought
Through tho sunny space of his moraory
lilts;
But tho wind In ffleo creeps up from the
pea,
And finding tho violet doomed and dead,
Wafts It away from tho gates of day,
And buries H down where tho dusks aro
shed.
