But pel haps wo give Us antics utinrLepfcaiy notice. The Next Protlionotary. When n man llku John Copelnnd, of C.ubondnlo li ih worked his way up ft (Jin the ranks to a business posi tion of responsibility and tiuht, nil th while saining the esteem of his hcIrIiIiois and the admiration of those associated with hlm In lulior, It Is fair to iisiiii'e tuat the (itialltirs he pos-hcss-es aie it'll and substantial, and lit hliv for widei if aponslbllities In a moio public relationship. It was the recoK liltlon of tills lurt bv runny Iloptlhll cmiih iiioinlncnt In the councils of the paity that led to Mr. C'opeland's noml liatlon for the prothonotaryhhlp. This olllco Is of much greater Import ance than appears on the surface The piothonotaiy Is tin custodian o Invaluable records, upon the K.afo caro and olderly unnnKcmint ot which much at all times depends. Ills duties as an ollleer of eouit .11 e mtineious and e.victlmr and call for piactlcal t-ngficlty Hiid a spiilt of judicial fair ness no less than clerical accuracy and promptitude. He is no meie figure head but a vital and tnlluentl.il patt of the machine! v of the county govern nient, and after the olllco has bejn filled so efficiently and acceptably as by I'rothonotary Pryor, lt is doubly neecsuiy that no mistake shall be made In tho selection of Mr. Piyot's mccessor. It Is the belief of those who know J'in Copeland best that no citizen bet l.. qualiried for such a tuist resides li; Eackawniinn county. On the sccio of character and personal fitness hla candidacy Is Irreproachable. Equally stinns Is his claim upon tho Republi can patty. For half a icne-rutlon he has been lighting the battles of Repub licanism in the upper end, often against odds that would have excused cllscnuiagcnicnt; and the best testi monial which can be offered of his clticlency rind steadfastness in party r.eivk" is the lecord of Republicanism's t-teady giowtli In Caibondale and Its lclnlty; a record which is very large ly a consequence of his Indefatigable) cffoits. To support with earnestness such a candidacy shmiM afford pleasure to eeiy Republican nnd cve.y admlier of stcillng worth. Accoidlng to the Times, the "Inter est of every poor man who has nn am bition to enter public life demands that Mr. Piyoi should be defeated." Are we to Infer by this that Mr. Pry 01 's opponent, tho present county tieasuicr, Is poslns ns the poor man's fiiend? And that, too, when for every dollar that Pryor possesses Schadt can lay down n $10 bill? Dsnvh of Lemuel A merman. The scn'-o of shock experienced by this community upon receipt of knowl edge of tho sudden death nt Elossbuig jesteulay of ex-Congressmnn Lemuel Amerman Is not de&crlbable. Of nil men this sturdy, progressive and gift ed citizen was tho last whom proph ecy would have selected for such a summons. It Is difficult even yet to udjust the mind to a contemplation of his slngulaily energetic and useful cnicer ns one which has reached Its end. Concerning the c h.tiactei Istlcs of Mr. Amciman a revealed In tho intimacies of pi Hate life wo lack the Immediate knowledge requisite to testify with weight; and yet the unaffected grief which his demise brings to those with in this mu rower circle of his acquaint ance supplies most eloquent evidence of his pcrsonul vvoith. But regaidlng Mr. Amerman's identification with the pub He life of hlo town and time wo can with heartiest commendation recall his breadth of mind, his earnestness for wise pi ogress, his integrity nnd his ' couiage. In activities looking to tho publla welfare he was not ostentatious but he was always to be counted upon. In short, a solid citizen ho was, with mind directed to practical results; sagacious, clear-sighted nnd with a will which, when fixed, did not eaBlly yield; In works of benevolence, gener ous but modest; in all things thorough, self-possessed arid true to conscience. Tho record of his wotIc In public tta tlon supplies its own best commentaiy. Herp, as elsewhere, we seo revealed high purposo nnd effective achieve ment. Hut for the exactions of politics ns disclosed to men In officlul position Mr. Amerman had small Inclination; and It was with a feeling of relief that nt tho expiration of his membership In the Fifty-second congress he re sumed tho more tranquil pursuits of private life. In these he had laid the foundations of a broad success and was Just entering upon tho realization of hla ampler plans nnd hopes when tho "end caino. Thsro can be no doubt that lilo denth Scranton and Penn sylvania surtiiln n loai the full propor tions of which nio possibly as yet tin. guessed. A peculiar sltuntlon is presented In Ripley county, Indiana, where the quintuple lynchlnc of the Levi unng of thieves recently took place. The lllpley county nrnnd Jury lma ad journed after decllnlnjr to return In dictments against a number of citizens clearly shown to have had n hand in tho lynching. Tho grand Jury's excuse Is that an Indictment would simply in volve the county In needless expense, Imrsmuch as tho conviction of the men was an Impossibility. Of course this excuse is utterly untenable, but the making of It cleat ly shows that the Jury did not want to do Its duty, not withstanding tho fact that tho gover nor offered to protect Its members by means of a company of militia If they so desired. Unless the local authorities will net tho governor Is powerless and mob law stands unrcbuked. It is not a pleasing prospect to those who value law and order. In It to Win. On the day, not long ago, that Spain caused a false report to be sent to Paris of the captlttc of a large Cuban filibustering expedition, a wealthy Cuban in thnt city cabled to New York that he had forwarded $10,000 to make gocd the loss. And jet these are tho people whom Spain has the sublime nffronteiy to charce with being in capable of self-government. Wo have personal knovvlodcc of another Cuban, long a resident of this country, who has cheerfully sacrificed estates in Cuba worth before the war not los than $250,000 and who now, fiom his dally earnings, supports a large circle of Cuban exiles and tegu larly contributes a fouith part of his income to the revolutionary cause, and his example is not by any means un common among his countrymen. At the beginning of the present uprising he offered to abandon all nnd volun teer, but the Junta consideied that his best service could bo performed In this country. Of such Is the backbone of the piesent Cuban movement for free dom. Pacts are more eloquent than words In refuting Spanish falsehoods concern ing tho icvolt in Cuba. Fitst denying tho claim of the Cubans to belligerent lights, Spain sends to Cuba 200,000 hoI dlers, strains herself for neatly three years, practices every conceivable kind of cruelty, exhausts every dollar of her ciedlt and then fs forced at last to make official acknowledgment that her campaign has been a failure all be cause of tho opposition of what she has continuously termed a handful ot Ignorant rebels. Does Sagasta's talk at Madrid sound us if the Cuban uti lising bore the character heretofore as cribed to It by General AVeyler and Minister do Lome? AVhat Is now proposed? Certnlnly not more war, for Weyler did all tho warring that Spain Is capable of, with out success. Persuasion? So Sagasta Intimates, bu did you ever hear of a man, after suffering the abuse that Cuba has suffered, letting up on his abuser when the latter .a consciously licked but lefuses to acknowledge it? We dnie say Cuban nature Is not dlf feient from human nature elsewhere, and we have yet to find In these parts a notmal specimen of man who would listen to coaxing on top of tho treat ment vouchsafed to Cuba by Weyler. The government nt Washington may bo fooled by Spanish artfulness, but we don't think the Cuban patriots will. They are In this fight to win. What Wejler doesn't know about bluffing would evidently not fill a largo book. The Henry George flovcment. It is leglnn!ng to Impress the public mind In greater New York, and less distinctly throughout thc country, that the mayoralty candidncy ot Henry Geoige, deemed Insignificant at fit at. has behind it the same dynamic possi ollltles that made the national candi dacy of William J. Ei j an formidable one year ago. Tho Tammany campaign hnn falln Hat. That unprincipled con spiracy of public plunder, strong In oidlnaiy times because ot the vety pas slveness of the better elements, finds now that tliPie Is nn agitation of th.i popular conscience and a general quickening of civic vitality which makes its negative candidate and its still more colorless platform nppoar in a sense ildlculous. Fmce of past asso ciation may cause It to poll a few thousand votes, but lnstc?.d of the pub lic menace which was expected of It in the piesent New Yoik mayoralty cam paign, the situation has suddenly shift ed and behold It Is Henty George who looms up ns the dangerous factor In the problem. And, strar.go to say, the peril In Gcoigcs candidacy lies lu tho vtiy honesty of the man. If ho were a shal low schemer or a mere enthusiast, I lie bottom of his political movement would soon diop out. Hut white there 13 massed behind his eandldacy the un disciplined and chaotic strength of the general lestlossness ot tho urban poor, who grop for their own betterment without nny clear idea of the necessary means, Henry George himself Is an or ganizer of marked ability, a man sln gulaily possessed of the genius of com mand, nnd morsover a man absolutely sincere in much that ho teaches. Men tally Bryan's superior, ho Is also fa,r supeilor to Bryan as an effective poli tician, as a manager of political forces; and ho has moreover a superior store of practical worldly wisdom. With the zeal of tho enthusiast ho unites much of the shrewdness and calculating pow er of the mere diplomatist; and the combination, when rdnfoiced by the entire socialistic ferment of tho disaf fected clement? In tho population of a great city, naturally becomes some thing which piudent and conservative citizenship should not fall to tako Into careful account. Mr. George's platform Is a mix-up. It Indorses well-nigh everything unique and bizarre In modern socialism, from ft c3 and unlimited sliver coinage down to three-cent fares, dollar gas, and pub lic debating societies. It Is regulated upon tho plan that If any group of citi zens don't seo In It what they espsclal ly want, all they liav. to do Is to secure the incorporation of thtlr hobby Is to form a separate organisation and ten- tier to Mr. Qeorg another nomination. It Is not platforms that Mr. George Is concerned about but votes; yet unlike most politic Inns Ills eagerness for votes Is, we believe, prompted far less by any personal ambition or vanity than by a somewlxit heroic although In the main a mistaken Inspiration that the placing of himself In ofltee would bo followed by th'e ndmlnlilratlon of sub stantial benefits to the great masses of the poor. To the modern city problem with Its deepening shades of social and economic contrast ho comes us a mas culine .Toan of Arc, offering himself for leadership much In tho spirit that ani mated tho maid of Oilcans, but like her, destined, we believe, to bo power less nt tho finish. Presenting, as ho does, this parallel to th'e Hryan canvass of one year ago, how does tho opposition stand? One year ago it centered on McKlnley, con quered at tho polls and trusted to re sults In business for a vindication that speedily came. Today in New York the forces of conservative government nnd stable social order are widely di vided and the Instrument of this divi sion, Scth Low, is asbcrtlmr from tho stump that he proposes to continue as a factor of disruption unto tho end. It is a situation to cause genuine and widespread regret among lovers of good government and one which puts on Mr. Low's shoulders a most un enviable responsibility. The stato bank commissioner of Kan sas Is a Populist, but oven he la forced to admit that prosperity Is overtaking the Kansas farmer. Seven years ago the mortgage indebtedness of Kansas amounted to $250,000,000; today it is less thnn $40,000,000 and is decreasing steadily. Kansas at this rate will soon rccocr her political sanity. Do tho paid auents of Democracy who aro calling the Republican county ticket a ring ticket suppose tho voters don't know that the rankest of rings, the city hall Balley-Boland ring, Is responsible for tho nomination of Schadt, Horn, et al.? The platform adopted at tho national convention of Democracy in ISO'J miy be "endorsed fully and without le scrvo' by the Lackawanna Democrat ic, convention in 1S97 but it will not be 20 endorsed by tho thoughtful voteis of the county. Tom Piatt has deal with before. had Mugwumps to Novelties for the ' Neijf World's Fair If we may believe a letter by John Eh bcrt In tho Chicago Timis-IIeuld, somo deeldcly Ingenious piojects h-ive been suggested to tho roveltles committee of tho management of tho Paris exposition. Ono Mr. lienda, for example, proposes to fix n hugo mirror to the top ot tho Eiffel tower which would present a mlrago of tho larger part of Paris. Another hugo mirror Is to be atllxod to tho baso of tho tower In sich a position as to reflect tho mirage of the top mirror. In this manner tho visitors to the exposition would havo tho opportunity to witness Pat Ulan llfo without tho fatigue and expense of par ticipating In It. A gentleman by the namo ot Hunt proposes a sl-coinered building 100 foot In diameter and 200 feet high, on tho top of which sleigh races nro to bo held upon artificial snow. M. lianks has tho idea of a gigantic candelabra whoso three feet aro to servo as promenades. M. BulTa advises tho erection of two fountains, ono representing a. man and tho other a woman at 200 times tho aver ago sUe which would make this proposed Inland pharos about 1,100 feet high. A pa triot, M Couchol, would have the Blffcl tower lemodeled Into a statue ot France, tho llrst two stories to servo as pedestal, M. Mazelaguc proposes i house 1,000 feet In height in older to ascertain scientific ally to what height houses may be hablt nblo without clanger. A pyramid ot 1,'JOO feet height revolving around Its center is tho Ideal of John Rlchaidson. A3 phil osopher and philanthropist Gustavo Songcux proposes two colossal statues, "War" and "Peace," "whoso contrast would cause all nations to declaro in fa vor of peace." o The propositions of hnnglng gardens and other metamorphoses of tho Eiffel tower may bo lltly passed becauo they aro not at nli new. For the sake of gallantry the proposition of Miss Josef a Hamse may bo mentioned to revlvo the old wooden horso ot tho memory of tho sic go of Troy, and to build a horso with "all tho points or a blooded animal, ' which would have. an In terior capablo of holding 1,000 people. Moro prosaic and practical Is tho scheme of Mile. Ralifo to ccr.struct a mechanical cle phent for tho chlidtcn and a tea fountain for tho adults. Tho idea of pvvlngs flying 400 feet high, submitted by M. Gauss and Mr. Farnshaw, Is old. atoro original is a project of Axel Shoot to construct a screw 600 feet high, u.ong tho threads of which a car would conduct visiters to a res taurant nt the top. Worthy of mention is tho proposition by Prince Delia Roeca and by Ferdinand Hau, tho latter a Pailsian Journalist, to arrange an exhibit of re ligious urt of uH ages, and also tho pro ject of Herr Fildcrmann to construct a mlnaturo city under tho protectorte of Hygcia, which Is to bo Inhabited by peo ple who aro to llvo strictly according to hygenlc rules It. order to study public sanitation. o Jf. Moron, ono of tho committeemen. states that of ninety-six schemes exam ined by him forty-tlvo camo from for elgn countries, which shows tho interest tnken all over tho world In tho coming exposition. Of these schemes only two have been definitely adopted; Ono of an electric platform, with two degrees of velocity, for tho transportation of ls Itors within tho exposition grounds (which Is probably similar to the moving side walk on tho pier of tho recent world's fair In Chicago, and another of a cap tlvo balloon of C0.0O0 cubic feet, which can keep sixty persons in an nltitudo of 2,000 feet, also nn Idea known from our world's fair. Tho commissioner divides tho schemes examined by him Into eight series, tho llrst of which comprises aquar iums, vessels, naval engineering, etc., Including a giant ncquarlum with ISO compartments ami a colossal structure containing a cataract, a lake, promen ades, cafes, bicycle, rings, etc. Tho build ing Is to bo lighted by electricity nnd Is to have walls of red gluss to produce tho effect of n marvelous sunset. The au. thor of this project, which alono would cover tho spaco ot tho entire exposition groundH, Is Herr Elchbaum, from St, Petersburg. o Aerial navigation Is represented by cloven schemes, Including ono by Dr. Zuzor, of Pails, providing for o tower, 10,000 feet In height, constructed of sev eral balloons, to tho top of which n sep arato balloon is to conduct visitors. In tho group of ethnography comes tho Idea of a Paris gardener, M, Lcboeuf, of a glgantta conservatory, In which nil classes ot tropical nnlmali nro to bo at liberty In tho midst of a flora of theli latitude, tho visitors to bo protected by walls of thick glass. In tho lino of rail roads and other means of transportation there aro twenty-four different schemes, Including a number of air roads upon wire ropes. A Vienna engineer, Herr Fornatarl, would like to carry visitors upon a vertical circular road, COO feet high, operated by centrifugal power, He assures tho commission that tho sensa tion of such a trip would be worthy of the year 1900. Another maker of pro jects recommend a giant depot In tho shape of a locomotlvo from which trains would go to tho various sections of the exposition, each train emanating smoke of tho colors of tho various nationalities. o Thcro Is no lack of elevated roads' from which blrd's-cyo vlows of tho exposition may bo had, and thero Is aiso a canal In tho height of SCO feet surrounding the entire exposition. Then thero Is the KChemo of connecting tho Eiffel tower with tho highest Parisian structures by mentis of wlro ropes on which passengers could be transported In hanging baskets. Schemes for theaters nro so numerous that they would crowd tho entire ex position ground to tho exclusion of ev erything else. So far only two havo been recommended, a martonctto and a shadow theater. Offered aro also a "bewitched" house, n. glass palace, nn old Egyptian city with a representation ot Antony and Cleopatra, a Swiss village and a collec tion of discoveries by means of Roentgen rays. MUNICIPAL SOCIALISM. From tho Washington Post. At tho convention of mayors and conn oilmen at Columbus, Ohio, last week, Mayor F. B. Doran, of St. Paul, said that ho would hfartt!y Mhctlon municipal own ership of streot cars, gas and water works "If wo could bo euro that under city control thoy would bo conducted on putcly business principles," but that ho had "seen employes of tho city nnd thoso of prlvato companies working eldo by side in tho streets often, and noted that tno employes of tho company always accom plished moro than those of the city do." o His horor of St. Paul might have added that tho cost of work performed by mu nicipalities Is greatly enhanced by vari ous circumstances other than that which ho mentioned. Not only do tho employes of a government of a city, state, or na tiondo less work, as a rule, than per sons In corporation or private employ ment, but thcro Is a large additional ex pendlturo for superintendence and cleri cal work. Foremen nnd assistant fore men aro appointed merely to furnish good places for friends. Chief clerks, assistant chiefs, and timekeepers In largo numbers nro provided with salaries. It often hap pens that tho pay roll calls for moro money for theso positions than for all tho real workers. There aro few govern ments In tho Fnlted States, from that of tho nation down through the states to tho small cities, that do rot pllo up ex penses in this way. It Is truo that many excellent citizens nro helped along through llfo by. this gcneious manage ment of public affairs, but that fact Is, nevertheless, a strong argument against municipal ownership of public works. a But wo should not includo a. city's sup ply of water In tho list of things to bo excluded from municipal control. Water is as necessary as air, and Us relation to tho health of a community necessitates Its ownership and management by tho offices of cities. We hope tho time will como whon an ample sup'.y of pure water will bo furnished free to every liomo in nil our cities, tho cost being defrayed by general taxation, tho samo as that of tho fire and pollco departments. o Thcr are. in our opinion, lnsurmou.ua- ble oblectlons to municipal control of transportation and similar matters. Even IX a city could successfully manage such affairs, It would sti:t no Best 10 avoiu clolntr so. CorccratUns to bo compelled to servo tbo public with fidelity. Munici pal owrcrshlp Is a step to.vard tho great socialistic scheme or national ownersnio. Tho goal at which its advocates aim is the abolition of tho individual, his merg ing In tho state, the abolition or com petition by public ownership and control of all Industries. The major of St. Paul mentions but one, and that a minor rea son, for his opposition to a scheme that is being pushed with unflagging zeal, but, happily, with little progress. TIIK nUHGKATIOK QUESTION. rrom tho Lancaster Examiner. Seme time ago Terence V. Powderly, commissioner of Immigration, wrote a letter to a personal friend In Now York In which ho plainly and clearly gives his views concerning tho department over which he presides In tho opinions con tained in this interesting letter, tho now commissioner announces the doctrlno that if anarchism Is bred beneath tho foster ing wing of monarchy It ought to remain thcro as a paraslto upon tho monster which gave it girth. It ought not to bo scattered abroad and allowed to carry tho poison germs of political diseaso Into the New World. Mr. Powdeily aptly Illustrates the dan ger which threatens tho country through immigration by reference to the old-tlmo Idea that America Is tho asylum of tho oppressed, and tho refugo of tho down trodden in every land. Ho chcet fully ad mits that thero was a tlmo when tho people of tho United States could af ford to entertnln such Benllments, "but that was beforo tho oncomers becamo op pressors, and when tho tide of immigra tion to this country was not a stream of refuse," to quote the exact words. When water moistens tho earth as rain It Is welcome. Is his notion. But when It comes as did tho Hood3 at Johnstown It Is a danger to bo averted. Mr. Powderly's other view that no vote shouM ever bo put In the hand of Ignor ance will find wide acceptance. Happily tho courts aro moro carefully looking after tho Intelligence of the foreign voter, and lefuso to naturalize, thoso who cannot read or wrlto or understand tho English tongue. In tlmo wo will solvo tho natur alization problem by making tho quali fications mentioned conditions precedent for citizenship. Every ono knows Mr. Powderly is an able man, and If he carries out tho views expressed in this private letter It can bo said over again that Pres. Ident SIcKinlcy Is very happy in his ap pointments. OUND POLITICAL SENSE. Trom tho Troy Times. Tho Scranton Tribune Is an earnest Re publican paper, which does not hesitate to freely speak its mind when in Its view party leaders mako mistakes. But It rcc ognUes tho necessity of party organiza tion and discipline within reasonable and well defined bounds tf Republican govern ment la to bo properly maintained and safeguarded and nuthority lodged In re sponsible hands. In a thoughtful aitlcle on "Government by Party" The Tribune alludes to tho exciting situation in New York city, nnd after deprecating tho sug gestion that tho Republican organization thero t-hould abdicate and yield to tho de mands of outsiders It says: "It will hardly bo held that If parties may bo released from servlco and dls- banded in municipal affalis there will ba any consistency In clinging to party In state nnd national politics. The governor of a stato Is not called upon to bo more of a partisan than Is tho mayor of a largo city, and If cither be chosen re gardless of party tics then tt will bo In order to arguo against party and In favor of non-partisan personal government In the nation, after the fashion ot Mr. Cleve land's second administration. We do not bollevo that tho American people aro ready thus to discard tho forms of government by political parties which have served them upon tho wholo acceptably during moio than 120 years." That Is sound American common sense and sound politics. MEANT WELL. From the TImes-Heiald. The 6ocioty reporter of the Dea Moines Register evidently enjoyed himself thor oughly at a reception held In that town tho other night and wo strongly suspect that ho stayed until utter the refresh ments were served, At any rate he said next day: "It wa a delightful 'social gathering, which will linger through life as a green and pleasant oasis that will ever stand as one ot tho milestones along life's highway ns a tender memory and a vibrant chord In tho heurt of each ot tho participants.'
