The County Campaign. In view of the fnct that election day Is only twenty-nine days distant, we tnke the liberty to remind the Repub licans of Lackawanna county that It is opportune for them to prepnre for work.. These words arc not addressed to those who make capital out of fac tional dissension, but to the masses of the party, who are, we believe, quite ns loyal to tho principles and the nomi nees of that party In this campalpn as they were one yonr ago, or as they are whenever the opportunity for the assertion of party fidelity Is presented. It is conceded on all sides that the ticket this fall put before the voters of Lackawanna county by the Republi can convention Is made up of first class men, staunch Republicans and In every way qualified to perform the duties of the offices for which they are candidates. Kvery man on the ticket has had experience In public affairs and has shown ability above tho ordi nary. There Is not a man on the ticket who has not performed service and pood service for the party and for the community. There Is not a man In the list whose honesty hua been Impeached or whose record In past positions of trust is tarnished. In respect of its personnel the ticket challenges com parison with nny ever offered for tho consideration of the electorate of tho county. The Republican party in Its manage ment of tho government of the county Invites the confidence of the people. Its record Is clean, clear and encourag ing. Under Its administration the county has been governed prudently and with economy. No other county In tho state offers better testimonials of Republican fidelity and elllclency. In what tho party has done while en trusted with control Is convincing as surance that its term of tenure may safely be extended. Apart from local considerations im portance attaches to the coining elcc tlrn b envse It will be tn some degree a test of confidence in the national ad ministration. Everywhere in its local campaign the Democracy hns coupled ppecial Issues with a general attack upon President McKlnley and tho bene ficent policies which ho represents. This fact Is especially noticeable in Lackawanna county, where tho Demo cratic convention, trampling under foot the largo number of citizens ordinarily Democratic in their party affiliations who last year could not go with their party to the perilous extremes indi cated in the Chicago platform, defiant ly reasserted and emphasized tho most radical tenets of Rryanlsm and virtual ly Issued orders to tho sound money Democracy to swallow its convictions or permanently sever party ties. The Democratic candidates and their friends are now passing among these citizens besslng for votes on personal grounds and assuring them that the platform of August 24 "doesn't sig nify"; but Just the samo should tho election returns next month show Democratic gains, these candidates and their helpers would be the first to claim the gains ns gains for Bryanism and free sliver. On these grounds, therefore, no less than because of the personal excel lence of the Republican nominees, wo feel justified In urging every citizen who last year voted for McKlnley and sound money to reafTirm that action by voting four weeks hence for the tlctfet which stands today for the same safe and wholesome principles. The Democracy, as it is organized and directed at present, Is not a party to which thoughtful Americans daro ex tend the slightest encouragement. Whether Weylcr has resigned or not is Immaterial. Ho Is a brute whose occupation, In any event, will soon be gone. Prosperity's Broad Sweep. Colonel Harry Hall of tho governor's staff has Just completed a Journey of 6000 miles undertaken by him in the Interest of tho Pittsburg Times for tllo purpose of Investigating tho busi ness conditions and prospects of the country lying west of tho Mississippi. The summary of his observations which Colonel Hall has written as sup plementary to an Interesting series of letters giving details by localities em bodies facts and figures of present In terest. Among these wo note that tho South Is lo have a cotton crop this year worth $300,000,000, or the best since 1802; that in Texas and throughout the grazing dlMr's'S of tho. southwest stock raisers nre getting from 25 to CO per cent, more for their cattle than a year ago and nro ablo to find a market for as many as thoy care to sell; that In Colorado tho gains In gold mining uro rapidly com pensating tho mlno owners for tho de cline In silver, while the production of cheftier 'dreJBJts. dovel&pl.hg amoz- Inglyj that In the farming districts of Colorado and Utah cattlo nnd fruit are both yielding profitable returns while In Montana and Wyoming tho wool-growers arc more prosperous than In years; and bo on, from Indust ry and Interest and from stato to stnte. Hays Colonel Hall: "Thero Is almost everywhere a hopefulness for the future that bilngs the confidence without which there can bo no pros perity. Debts arc being paid oft or rc dured, nnd the crushing burdens of Interest lessened. Instances thero nre, It Is true, where depression still pre vails, ns In tho case of tho silver Indus try In Colorado and the other silver producing states, but, ns a whole, better times have dawned, and thero is every prospect that they will brighten as they grow." This Is the testimony of a shrewd and observant Journalist trained to take accurate notice of things. We should believe it If It stood unstioport- cd, for we know tho mnn who gives It; but fortunately all concurrent evi dence points In tho same direction. Tho newspapers which reach us in ex change, tho mercantile agencies, com mercial travelers, Individual tourists and the recent quickening of the mis cellaneous forces of commerce visible from nny point of view each nnd all tell the same story of business revival, and confirm tho theory that it Is not accidental or Incidental but real and general, and therefore grounded In a popular confidence until recently ab sent from the situation. It makes no difference how wo account for the pres ence of this revival or what political deductions we draw from it, tho fact itself is clear and distinct as the bright sun at midday. Tho "advance agent of prosperity" has been overtaken by the main show. The career of Noal Dow, which was terminated by death on Saturday In the ninety-fourth year of Ills ago, will remain an invaluable legacy to pos terity, for It was tho career of a man of great ability who had tho Inflexible courage of his convictions. Through out tho extended period of his eminent usefulness ho stood like a Maine pine erect and firm for those things In which he believed, and not a vicissitude could shake him. Tho sentiment of his gen eration did not endorse so unreserved ly ns ho his political remedy for the evils of intemperance, but while dif fering from him in details it respected tho sterling integrity of his character and applauded tho nobility which kept him unvaryingly plumb with the lino of principle and conduct marked out by his lino conscience. Great as were the man's material and moral achieve ments, it will bo In ills sturdy and In spiring example that tho coming gen erations will find their richest Incent ive to esteeming his memory. Coming Down on Fraud. Tho course of tho commissioner of patents, Mr. Butterworth, and, through him, of Secretary of the Interior Bliss, In disbarring John Wedderburn and John Wedderburn & Co. from practice before the United States patent oinco will receive the warmest approval as soon as tho facts arc generally under stood. This firm Is one of tho largest, if not the largest, engaged in tho pat ent business In tho United States, and in its defense It has massed powerful Influences, but Mr. Butterworth de clined stoutly to bo Influenced by any thing save tho evidence before him, and the secretary of the interior, wo nre happy to add, stood by him like a man. Tho ofTiclal records In the case are exceedingly voluminous, but wo shall endeavor to condense what they indi cate. They show that Wedderburn & Co. first flooded the malls with adver tising matter calculated to incite in experienced inventors to consult with them concerning the possibility of tak ing out patents, nnd adroitly leaving the Impression that the consultation would not cost anything. Then the firm charged each correspondent $3 for making a 25-cent search of the records; and whether tho invention had already been patented or not, and regardless of Its merit, tho credulity of the inventor was worked for further results by a variety of ingenious processes, such ns putting the Inventor's name on nn al leged "roll of honor," giving him a cheap medal, etc. Tho "roll of honor" meant absolutely nothing, while as for the medal, Mr. Butterworth says it could bo worn by a man or a dog with equal propriety. Tho commissioner continues: "But tho client, tho 'sucker,' as "Wed derburn facetiously calls him. Is played still further, along tho line, thus: About tho time that the sterling silver medal reaches tho supposed Inventor, he or she receives a communication without date from tho National Re corder, which announces that tho Re corder has learned that tho party ad dressed has been placed upon Wedder burn's 'rojl of honor' and has received a 'sterling silver medal' as a 'reward of genius,' and tho National Recorder appears to the reader of the letter to be wonderfully wrought up over the discovery of a budding genius of such raro merit; and tho Recorder proposes at onco to write up, to havo written up, the individual who has won such distinction." This ho shows is done for $5. "And so," the commissioner pro coeds, "the Recorder comes out with a whole page of the pictures of these credulous and duped mortals who have paid $5 for a boost up tho ladder of fame, and tho postofflce department of the United States and tho patent ofllco were for nearly two years tho agents and instrumentalities used for carry ing on these schemes, to the disgrace of tho government." Wedderburn & Co., he soys, have filed less than 4,000 applications for patents and received patents In about half of those cases, yet they sent out 11,000 silver medals as "awards of genius." It Is on record mat iney mono aa.uuu searches, at a cost of about 25 cents apiece, for which they charged $5 each, It Is clear from this presentment that tho patent department acted nono too soon In shutting down on theso har pies. It Is questionable If they ought not also to be prosecuted as frauds. As showing that the present adminis tration is In earnest In Its campaign against Wedderburn and those of his Ilk, It may bo mentioned that nn offic ial of tho postofflce department to whom some months ago had been re ferred for Inquiry the question whether the malls ought not to bo denied to these firms and who, after n pretended Investigation, reported negatively, has since been discharged and prosecuted. Now that tho character of these trans actions Is revealed, nppllcnntB for pat ents can be on their guard, nnd for this opportunity of protection they will be Indebted chiefly to the gritty nnd uncompromising man whom President McKlnley put In command of tho bureau of patents. Thero are no cob webs on Hen I3utterworth. The nub of Sonor Sagasta's scheme of colonial reforms for Cuba which ho is pledged to promote as premier of Spain consists of the fact that tho gov ernment at Madrid Is to regulate Cuba's money tribute to tho mother country and supervise the Cuban tri bunals. In other words, Cuba Is to bo hold In tho snmc old bondage. It need not be expected that the Cuban load ers will tumble over each other In eagerness to accept such a basis of peace. Tho division of tho friends of good government in greater New lork Is most unfortunate; and It is to be hoped that It will be composed In time to save tho city. But in tho meantlmo It Is necessary to remember that for this division the Mugwump element surrounding Mr. Low Is alono respon sible. General Tracy says: "Under no cir cumstances will I withdraw as a. can didate for mayor ns long as Seth Low remains In tho field." Hero Is Mr. Low's chance to make of himself a unifying force. Tho queen regent of Spain has evi dently departed from President Lin coln's theory that It Is unwise to swap horses In tho middle of tho stream. ft Spanish Uieu) of Yankee Civilization Prom El Imparclal, of Madrid. Among other favors which wo ov o to our good friends, tho Yankees, not tho least uro thoso which their newspapers, their meetings nnd their congress Usclf offer that tho Spanish nre an uncultured people, coarso nnd behind tho times, when nt tho turn of every littlo street ono may meet a "Torqucmada." Wood ford himself, who, in proof of his friend, ship and sympathy for Spain, had scarce ly arrived at San Sebastian when ho pur chased a mantilla and expressed a wish to see a bull light, nnd went out from tho arena thoroughly disgusted nnd vowing never again to witness a spectnelo so vile, so repulsive, so bloody. Clearly tho Yan kees, standard-bearers of civilization, havo a right to feel Indignation and anger at tho backwardness of our land. They, on tho other hand, in their own country and In foreign ones, exhibit a fineness of feeling, a delicacy of customs, a lovo for their fellow creatures, an In finite charity, a respect for right and Justice. Thousands of examples could bo offered of their superiority physically ns well as morally. Directly we nro go ing to clto a few of tho most recent exnmples in order that wo may be shame faced, hang down our heads and try to Imitate thoso lofty deeds by which tho Yankees proclaim through all tho world their perfection in their customs, In their education and in their laws. o A few days ago there landed at Genoa a detachment of men from tho United States ship Raleigh. Tho marines .divid ed Into small parties, amused themselves throughout tho city in a state of drunk enness, and some of the brutal ones re fused to pay tho expenses Incurred in 1. 1- ., (( 1r t n ilnnr. iilliura nnltnntn I,, a lino and blocked the progress of peace - ful pedestilans; others occupied a car riage and refused to pay for tho hire, de priving tho poor driver of his fee, so that neither in tho consulato nor on board tho cruiser could he obtain redress nor find nny ono to listen to his complaints. But this may be an exception. In their own homes the Yankees do not proceed thus. A recent English newspaper pub lishes tho remarkablo Information that during tho Inst month of July thero only occurred In all tho towns of tho great re public seven lynchings that Is, In tho presenco of the authorities. Seven In ono month! A mero bagntelle! And, by tho way, Philadelphia offered some days ago a high nnd worthy exnmplo of what Is a humano spectacle an entertainment, cultured and refined; a contest between two very famous boxers tho flower and nemo of what is brutal and what Is bruto strength. Tho arena was resplend ent; for tho most lowly places one hnd to pay J3; a Monte Crlsto thero would havo been nblo to fill his card coso with illus trious names. In the corridors wero nu merous bettors shouting tho odds in favor of ono or the other of the pugilists. The entertainment was magnificent. Many thousands of dollars changed hands, and when tho "stage hnnds" dragged awny from tho arena tho body of tho con quered boxer theso lofty, these powerful, theso eminent, theso cultured, theso civ ilized men npplauded with fervor the win ner, who with a swollen eye nnd a broken Jawbone, could scarcely hold himself up right. Tho bull fight what brutishncss! o Finally: Tho English press laments bit terly tho Inhuman conduct of tho Ameri can marines when they meet a wrecked vessel on tho sea. A very recent casa proves it: Tho steamer Delaware of tho Ylllafrancho list suffered very serious damago about four miles from Hudson bay. With tho helix broken, the sails lost, it remained six days as a buoy, a pleco of cork, seeing many American ves sels pass, but nono of them going to her nid. Ono of them did indeed ap proach, offering to tow her for tho modest sum of $3,000. Tho captain of the unfor tunato vessel refused, and tho Yankee tranquilly moved away. Shortly after a trans-Atlantic French ship, La Navarro, towed tho Delaware In without asking nny compensation for tho very humano service. POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS. From the Illustrated American. Postmaster General Gary's plan to es tablish small branch savings banks in every postofflce, with a central deposit bank in Washington, ought to tako hold of tho common senso of tho peoplo. It settles very simply tho troublesomo ques tion: "What shall bo dono with small savings?" Smnll savings worry both pos sessors and public. Tho possessors, who havo deposited their money, distrust banks. Thoso who havo not deposited It keep awako over their stocking-tip hoards or dream of burglars. In tlmo of plenty bnnkcrs do not caro to recclvo Bmnll savings. Insignificant deposits do not pay for the bookkeeping thoy entail. Moreover, thero aro largo numbers of peoplo who cannot reacli banks. In tlmo of panlo small savings do not got Into tho banks. They nro hoarded, and tho na tional circulation of currency becomes anaemic. Tho proposed postnl savings bank sys tern will be snfo enough to draw forth the most cherished hoard, nnd will bo right nt ham' In tho most remoto dlstrcts. Tho wholo credit of tho nation will bo back of It. Under this plan nny man, woman or child over ten years of ago may fill out a slip at any postofllco, pay tho postmas tor tho deposit nnd receivo a bank book. By application a few days beforehand, ho may withdraw his money nt will. Whllo tho doposlt la 1n tho hands of tho gov ernment It will draw a moderato Interest. Thus at email cost tho oystem will accom pllsh a great benefit Jo tho people. It will bo Hnfo an lonjr ns the government Is safe. Depositors will havo an Interest In seeing that tho government Is not Im periled. Thus tho system will stlmulnto patriotism. It will break up hoarding nnd keep money In circulation. This hns been proved In England where tho system begnn thirty-six years ago, Tho chief ndvantngo of tho measure proposed Is its posslblo effect upon small savings banks In county scats everywhere about tho country. These Institutions will probably oppose It. But their weight can hnrdly balance tho weight of the populnr advantages of tho system. It Is now upon n firm basis In England.Prnnce, Austrln, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Swe den, Russia, Hungary and even Japan. In Cannda it has proved n striking suc cess. Its Introduction Into America Is likely to bo ono of tho glories of this administration. IMMORALITY IN MONEY MATTERS. From Leslie's Weekly. At a moderate cstlmnte, It may be com puted that at least half of tho humanly mau'agcahlo troubles. In tho world arise from money matters. After a thorough grounding In tho principles of tho Ten Commandments, tho next most Important lesson to teach our youth Is tho cure and handling of money, yet this is usually dono In tho most haphazard way, if at all. Lavish spending for others, often dono through sheer thoughtlessness or a lovo of display, and at tho risk of ono's own future, or that of ono's family, is too often condoned, both In lifo and lit erature. Tho sins of tho spendthrift, provided ho does not squander his sub stnnco In riotous living, nnd even some times when ho docs, aro hold up as being very excusable, If not pratsoworthy, In stead of as n palpablo breach of morality. Self-respect and tho duty of self-support demand that adequate provision should bo mado by every human being for his future, when ago or illness may Incapaci tate him for work. Tho belief that It Is his bounden duty to provldo for his fam ily is ono which should bo fostered Btrcnuously in every citizen. If every man felt it as ho ought, thero would bo almost no eleemosynary effort needed. o A man In a country vlllago put a hundred-dollar bill Into the contribution box 6nc Sundny. His generosity was warmly praised by his fellow church-members, nnd was commented upon with lnudatlon In tho county paper. It leaked out Inter that this man was deeply in debt. Ho failed not long afterwards, nnd dozens of business men lost heavily by him. Tho deslro to win applause, or to create or strengthen credit, inspires a largo part of tho so-called "bcnoflcenco" of tho day. It mny havo Its spring in genuine loving kindness, but It is a loving kindness which has been, allowed to develop nt tho expense of prudence nnd morality. Let benevolent enterprises flourish let every body give. Giving according to ability Is a binding duty upon every citizen, but many a good man gives far more liberally than ho can afford, because ho has not tho strength or Judgment to refrain. Tho criticisms of ono's neighbors upon ono's parsimony are hard to bear, but it would bo harder, if wo had only tho imagination to picture It, to see one's family going down to a destitute old age, or dependent upon tho grudging bounty of relatives. It Is far harder to stand firm under press ure in theso times than It Is to give. It Is a generous age, nnd nil of current lit erature, from tho Bible down, can bo quoted to Justify the freest possible ex penditure, while tho passages which counsel caution and economy are forgot ten in tho commotion caused by trumpet tongued Slander as sho bawls out "skin flint" and "miser." o On tho other hand, tho man who holds vast Inherited wealth, or who has pros pered largely in business, has quite as hard a. lesson In learning to give Judi ciously and sufficiently; but it is per haps no more dlfllcult for tho stingy rich man to acquire tho lesson of giving than for tho too generous or tho osten tatious poor man to learn to curb his open-handedness and to temper his lav lshness with discretion. 1 '""'ii"iii a CENSUS BUnEAl). From tho Pcst-Exprcss, Thero will bo introduced nt tho next ses sion of congress a bill for the establish ment of a permanent census bureau, whioh la already meeting with much of public favor as it should. The arguments In Its be"half nro many and persuasive, tho chief one being that a great nation euch as is ours should be always up to date In furnlsl Ing information as to its condition. Tho last volume of the census of ISM haa been 'but Just issued from tho press, whllo tho arrangements aro being perfected for tho enumeration erf 1000. o Tho first volumes of tho work of 1SD0 aro now ancient history, but they contain tho only trustworthy data available for pres ent use. This is the ago of tho statistic ians. It is from their labors that conclu sions aro reached upon tho political, eco nomic and sociological problems with which tho nation has to deal. Population Is, perhaps, tho least Important of tho subjects upon which knowlcdgu is sought. Tho proportion of literates to Illiterates, tho agricultural and mineral production, the churches, the schools, the press, tho details of trade and of commerce, tho ag gregate and tho distribution of wealth, and many other things nro not only im portant to know about onco during a do eade, but Imprrtant to know about all tho time. Their relative valuo changes with tho years. Tho figures of 1890 may bo al most valueless If not mado .public until 1897. At all events, they lose much of their slgnlflcanco for tho echolar, tho philan thropist, and tho legislator. The world moves, and tho United StatC3 especially moves at a rapid rate. Whllo there Is continual progress, there aro con tlnually varying conditions. Wo need to understand what theso conditions arc, not onco in a decade, but all tho time. Tho census bureau should Issuo annual vol umes. Its publlcntionB should bo of cur rent value, not historical review. Hereto fore tho ofllco of the superintendent has expired with each census, and no pro vision has been mado for a permanent head. Thus tho bureau has lacked con slstpncy as well as permanency, and It Is held also that tho .permanent bureau could bo conducted less expensively than tho present system, If It can bo dignified by tho name of a system. It is to bo trusted that tho legislation necessary In tile premises may bo enacted promptly. PROPOSED IUCYCfiE LAW. From tho Scrantonlan.
