Election day, November 2.
. . .
The host nnswer to the n&crtlnn that
I'ryor Is not the people's choice Is con
tained In the election retuins of three
years nso.
. I'cr Clerk of the Courts.
1 ho candidacy offered oil the Be
liulillcnn ticket for the clerkship of the
courts la an especially attractive one
to nil voters who believe that merit
FhuuM he rewarded.
Tor a niunlier of years Thninai I.
1'Miilels, better known to his host .f
friends ns Tommy Daniels, has served
as u clerk nnd deputy In theolllce which
ho now aspires to manage, and by his
constant fidelity to duty and his
never- falling courtesy he has greatly
popularized himself among the tax
payers who frequent that portion of
the t in t house. There Is net n man in
the county who can Fay aught ngalnst
Mr. Daniels' fitness nor Is them one
who can recall an occasion when Mr.
r-aniels did not respond promptly nnd
heel fully to the primer demnnds of
palioiiB of the olllce. Modest, nrt
jtili't In his methods. Mr. Daniels u
deputy clerk of th.. courts has been
true r steel, and has fairly earnci
a cioinntion.
In his nomination the Ilepuliiinn
party not only recognizes high person
al merit but It pays compliment to
the largo and active body of youns
Hepublicans on the West Side and
elsewhere who are bringing Into Hc
inbllcanlstn'H ranks enthusiasm, en
ergy and th'- spirit of progress. As
one of these Mr. Daniels has deserved
veil at the hands of every citizen
owning allegiance to Republican prin
ciples nnd his assured election tmht
to !! made practl-ally unanimous.
The sensible citizen will not be al
lured from duty next month by fake
reformers whoso chief purpose Is to
capture notoriety If not olllce. He will
decide to do his reforming Inside party
lines.
Concerning Our Streets.
Wo have recently heard some criti
cism concerning the manner in which
tho street cleaning department of
Scranton Is conducted. AVhlle tho de
partment may not be up to the Ideal,
It Is evident that a large amount of
the fault-llndlng from certain quar
ers is prompted by spite. Probably
no one will question the assertion that
the practice of sweeping the streets
on a windy day, without the use of a
sprinkler ns a preliminary proceeding.
Is a nuisance. Hut as to the matter
of keeping the streets clean it is prob
able that Mr. Dunning makes the best
use of the money at his command.
In Huffalo there Is one district which
takes In the business portion of the
city that contain fourteen miles of
paved streets. This represents the total
number of miles In Scranton outside
of Mulberry street. There they em
ploy sixty-one men on full time, or
nn average of -1 1-2 men to one mile.
Here the best the city street dunning
department can do with the money nt
hand Is to employ twelve men full
time for the ssmo number of miles,
or 1 1-6 miles for each man to clean.
Here the work Is heavier from the fact
that so many of tholntersectlngstreets
are not paved and In wet weather tho
mud Is carried on the pave by the
wagons and also washed there by the
rain.
It will thU3 bo seen that Commis
sioner Dunnlng's force of "white
wings" lias much to contend with
that does not appear on the surface.
Provide Mr. Dunning with tho proper
appropriation and there is no doubt
that he will keep the streets clean
even of tho mud that Is thrown nt him
by persons who failed In an effort to
control tho patronage of his offlce.
It Is noticed that Attorney Duggan
nnd his Dunmoro friends are not yet
perspiring In behalf of Sehadt and
Horn.
Unnecessary Alarm.
In due time the public will no doubt
be favored with a reason for tho sin
gular action of tho government of
her gracious majesty, the queen of
Great HrJtaln and Ireland and empress
of India, In first agreeing to partici
pate in a conference called by the
United States for the purpose of devis
ing effective safecunrds for tho ssal
lishing Industry, and then suddenly
canceling this promise. To bo sure, a
so-called reason Is already current;
but In fact It ,ls no reason at all; name
ly, the explanation that England's
withdrawal Is because England objects
to tho representation In tho conference
of Kussla and Japan. For If this were
England's real reason for her threat
ened nesbct of a humanitarian and a
neighborly duty she could not, as she
has already done, consistently object
to meet the United States In a separ
ate conference.
For tho enlightenment of any who
may bo l-n rant of tho main facts In
this matter wo say In review that the
reckless slaughter of femnle Heals,
principally by fishermen flying the
English flntr, liar till hut exterminated1
the Heal herds In Cerlns sea, whers
lltisala, Japan, England nnd tho United
.Slates, but chlelly the United StatcK.
havo vented Interests. Tho chief part
of tho mischief lias been liaeed to
John Hull's door, nnd lie lias been un
titled of It nnd has repeatedly promised
to do 1) ttcr; but the promised amend
ment of his ways hns not appeared
and now the United Statis proposes to
stand no further nonsense. Tho con
ference of Interested powers whs call
ed for th? honest purpose of ilevlslmr
now means to protect tho seals from
Illicit extermination and thus to save
valuable Interests from ruin. If Eng-
land will not Join, tho thing to do ob
viously le to io ahead without her.
If Ilussla, Japan and tho United States
can agree on a programme England
will be millo likely to observe It also.
Tf she should not, a case of Interna
tional larceny will lie established, for
punishment ns circumstances may dic
tate. Wo note ns a rccnt outgrowth of this
long continued but once more acute
controversy n marked disposition on
the part of the newspnpets of Great
Britain to sputter and look ferocious;
also a converse inclination of propor
tionate dimensions among certain
American Journals to exhibit uneasi
ness over the matter. Once more aris
es the cry for an arbitration treaty,
not so much on Its broad merits as lo
calise of this special fancied menace.
Sane oDlnlon In, this country will not
fall Into either of these extreme views.
It will rest serene in the confidence
that American enterprise and valor
are adequate for any emergency and
that England, with all her pride of Ur
mamont nnd dominion. Is the last pow
er on enrth likely ever to solicit a new
taste of Yankee belligerency.
It Is clear from the American stand
point that the proposed substitution In
Cuba of coaxing for murdering Is sug
gested somewhat late too late, one
would think, cave to reflect new shame
on Spain's policy heretofore.
Baying the Hoon.
The nomination by the Citizens'
Union In New York of a separate as
sembly ticket, coming on top of Seth
Low's claim that the , movement of
which he Is the head has no objection
to party government outside of munici
pal Issues, will set rational observers
to thinking. If In the management of
the affairs which are likely to coniC
up for governmental consideration In
the municipality of greater New Yolk
there be no proper room for political
parties and partisanship; If In cities
parties should be disbanded save dur
ing state and national campaigns, why
is there need for party lines in state
affairs or In national? How can Mr.
Low pretend ns a Republican that the
party which he declares to be best
fitted to administer the affairs of gov
ernment at Washington nnd at Al
bany l? not fit to administer the affairs
of New York city? "Why should not
the greater Include the less?
The fact is that right nt this point
Mr. Low's glittering theory of non
partisan personal government breaks
down disastrously. The action of his
organization or "machine" In entering
the state field with a separate ticket,
not to speak of the revelations which
have recently been made of Its man
ageis' wlllinsness to Imitate the de
spised ' bosses" in making quiet little
combinations and deals, strikes tho
apparently unsophisticated Mr. Low
with the force of a boomerang. AVhlle
he Is preaching solemnly ngalnst party
organization and manoeuvers his right
bowers In the Citizens' Union are seen
to be hard at work trying to tighten
up their own little newly-constructed
party mechanism and are caught work
ing manoeuvers of their own on the
sly. Thus tho great quarrel which Mr.
Low has with the Republican organ
ization Is shown to dwindle down In
hard fact to the single grievance that
It would not do what Mr. Low wanted
It to do. If it had danced to his fid
dling and turned Itself over as a will
ing instrument for the promotion of
his own ambitions, we have not tho
slightest doubt that Mr. Low would
today be nfllrmlmr the aggressiveness
of his Republicanism with tho same
breath that under the circumstances
ho employs to cast odium upon the Re
publican managers.
Ho that as It may and omitting per
sonalities, If government by parties Is
to be abandoned In this nation, what
do Its opponents offer In Its place? Mr.
Low talks prettily for "the direct ac
countability of olllclnls to tho people";
but under what system other than tho
party system can olllcial accountabil
ity to the people be more direct? AVher-
ever there Is difference of opinion there
Is the germ of partisan conflict. It Is
human nature to take .sides, "He that
Is not for me Is against me." Even so
spontaneous an uprising of the people
as tho French revolution soon divided
Into partisan cliques and clans. To
keep the whole people Interested for
nny length of time In matters of mo
ment to them It Is necessary to engage
them In controversy, which means
pnrty lines and partisans. Only In tho
prostrate democracy of the dead Is
there complete unn-partlsanshlp. In
other words, partisanship is an Inevit
able nnd beneficent consequence of
henlthy civic life; and Instead of de
nouncing it wise men should devote
their energies to guiding It toward the
best results.
AVe wonder If tho Scrnnton Times
really thinks It deceives anybody by
the Hcml-annual howl It makes about
alleged Republican corruption con
trasted with a local Democracy ar
rayed In spotless white, Fitzslm
mons & Co. evidently need only a few
more certificates of good character
from the Bryan organ to warrant them
In donning halos and wings.
With $6,000,000 of gold now on Its way
to thla country from Europa and
twenty millions moro expected to
cjnie ere snow files, somo of Mr.
Bryan's Inst year's prophecies stand In
nwl of radical revision. What a
school experience is!
Tho climax of ridiculousness would
certainly be reached If AVnshlngton,
tho capltnl city of a supposedly free
(.tttlon, should ndopt a curfew ordi
nance. In tho past three months In the
Southern states, according to good
southern authority, the Chattanooga
Tradesman, tf4 new Industrial enter
prises havo been established. There Is
reason to believe thnt the South, de
spite Its own conservatism nnd preju
dices, Is being forced by destiny to
ward a new era.
Can It bo that the candidacy of Gen
eral Tracy In New York was under
taken too late?

The Daily Press
and the Clergy
From tho AVnshlngton Post.
It Is a very serious charge that tho Chi
cago Interior, a religious Journal of high
stnndlng and wldo Influence, brings
ngninst the newspapers of tho United
States when It snys that "the press is
steadily nnd systematically unfair to tho
clergy." AVe need not consider nny por
tion of the vast nnd varied mass of cur
rent literature embraced In "the press"
except tho dally papers. To assert that
they nre in a conspiracy against tho
clergy, for that is whnt the accusation
amounts to. is to use words with less
discrimination than would reasonably bo
expected of any fnir publication. Such
wholesale condemnation putting nil tho
newspapers, ns various In character ns
the Interests to which they enter, Into ono
class, and drawing n black mark across
Its face Is not, we respectfully submit, a
good cxnmplo of Christian charity. To
follow thnt example would certainly not
Improve tho morals or manners of tho
secular press.
o
It may be that there are some newspa
pers, although wo cannot give Hie name
of a single ono of them, that aro "habitu
ally unfair to tho clergy." It may bo
that some newspapers are too willing to
print sensational reports about somo
members of tho clerical profession, too
ready to givo currency to clerical scan
dals. Hut, supposing all that to bo true,
It falls far short of Justifying tho In
terior's Indiscriminate charge. Tho fact
that a clerical scandal creates a greater
sensation than nlmost nny other news
Item Is really creditable to the clergy.
Tho ono man In n villago or hamlet who
cannot go astray without becoming
shamefully notorious Is tho preacher.
Acts that nro peccndllloes when commit
ted by his neighbors aro regarded as
crimes when ho commits them. The cler
gy nre expected to set an example for
the honest morality, nnd tho fact that
clerical scandals do not often happen
shows that this high expectation Is gen
erally fullllled. AVero It otherwise, the
misdeeds of preachers would havo no
special value as news for any paper,
the Chicago Interior had given moro
thoughtful attention to the subject on
which It discourses so carelessly. It would
havo seen that tho reputable newspapers
of the Vnlted States do not, either Indi
vidually or collectively, make war on
nny class or profession. We can think
of no courso better calculated to bring
a newspaper into disrepute, break down
Its character, destroy its influence, nnd
thus wreck Its financial fortunes, than
that which tho Interior charges "tho
press" of tho country with following. As'
n, rule tho relations between the press
and the pulpit uro amicable, ns they cer
tainly ought to be, for they have no con
flicting interests. In many cities thero Is
cordial co-operation between these great
forces. The preachers havo begun to re
allzo that a good newspaper is the best
channel of communication If they desire
to reach great audiences. Not only ser
mons nnd extracts from sermons, but
other religious matter of many kinds. Is
welcomed to tho columns of tho dally
papers. Tho press Is nn ever-ready help
er of the pulpit, enlarging tho sphero of
Its Influence and Increasing to nn Incal
culable extent the results of Its work. As
nn Illustration of this co-operatlvo ef
fort, take tho relations of the dally press
with tho A'oung Men's Christian associa
tion, tho Christian Endeavor society, nnd
similar organizations of young people.
Havo not tho dally papers contributed
ns much ns nny other ngency toward tho
upbuilding of these associations? The
fact Is, as tlio Chicago Interior ought
to know, that tho dally press Is tho
preacher's best friend, his readiest and
ablest helper,
BARNEY BARNATO'S MONEY.
From tho Philadelphia Record.
Thero Is a lino at which a man's estato
gets so largo ns not to bo computable.
Its valuo is In constant fluctuation with
tho rise nnd fall of rents and of securi
ties. When very largo It comprises many
Investments tho worth of which can only
bo told by putting them on tho market for
sale. This fact gives rlso to endless exag
geration; for tho human Imagination loves
to dream of opulenco on a splendid scale.
It revels In Aladdlns with magic lamps
that produce gems and palaces as re
quired. If any ono be bold enough to con
jecture the size of a CJould, a Westminster
or a liarnato estato thero Is no ono ublo
to contradict him. Tho owner himself

AVhen I.o idon was selling American se

vest tho proceeds In the "Kalllrs," 'as Rar
ney's enterprises were called, ho was suld
to bo tho richest man In tho world and to
possess a half-bllllon of money. This
probably never was true; and his sup
posed wealth has shrunk Immensely, now
that It has been probated at less tnun
J3.000.000. At that tlmo ho was floating
schema after schemo of South African
ventures In gold and diamond mines, nnd
running n private bank, which afterward
went to pieces. His Knfllr shares bound
ed nnd rebounded os rnpldly und violently
ns a balloon, and monoy-dcsplsing Eng
lishmen princes, dukes and merchants
wcro wild to be In tho scramble, In a way
that recalled tho days of John Law In
Paris or tho contemporaneous South Sea
Hubblo In Bondon. Barnato was regard
ed ns tho dispenser of fabulous fortunes,
nnd tho aristocratic Carlton club went out
of Its way to admit him to membership.
In South Africa, where ho was bolter
known, the clubs would not resclvo him.
o
Had Barnato sold out when the Kalllrs
wero sky-rocketing ho could havo made
ono of thoso lncomputablo fortunes. Hut
tho trouble Is thnt such men cannot sell
out. If they try to unload their holdings
they prick tho hubblo, and their enter
prises co'.lapsc. Thoso Involved with
them, wntchlng ovcry move, rush to sell

SPAIN AND THE PHILIPPINES.
From tho Post-Express.
An Interesting article In the Cosmopol
itan Magazine, by Dean C AVorcestcr and
Frank S. Bourns, upon "Spanish Ilulo In
the Philippines," throws a great deal of
light upon a subjoct with which tho Amer
ican public Is not familiar. It knows In a
general way that nn Insurrection of for
midable proportions Is In progress thero
and that Is subjugation Is tho problem
which, next to that of Cuba, Is tho ono
which Is most vexatious to tho Spanish
government, ns It may well be. consider
ing tho provocation which Spanish rule
on tho Islands has given to Its outbreak.
Tho Cosmopolitan artlclo Is tho result of
close observation of Its authors, upon tho
ground, both of tho conditions existing
nnd the causes Hat havo led to tho re
volt. We avail ourselves of It to present
a few facts bearing upon the issue which
has been raised.
Lack of Information concerning tho
Philippines Is largely duo to the policy
of Spain In maintaining them In a state
of tho most complete Isolation possible
from tho clvlllied portions of tho world.
Tliey nro oft t. main lines of travel
from Europe and India to China and
Jnpan, and wcro they on. thero arc many
reasons under tho existing regime why
Manila, tho capital, has not becomo a
popular port of call. But Manila Is a
city of somo 300,000 souls, with cathe
drals, monasteries, government olllces,
sohools, fashionable, drives and promen
ndes, many ambitious residences, and a
consldernbo portion of tho population Is
not lacking cither In wealth or refine
ment. Goods to tho valuo of some fifty
million dollars aro exported! annually.
Tho Phlllpplno archipelago I ncludea
about COO Islands, many of them being
very small, but somo of them, such us
1- ...1-1-1. .,n.lli. la JtilntftH
XjUZON, UIl WJ11CII itiuillllt in rnuaivu,
Mlndonao, Zebut. Samar, Sulu and others
aro of considerable size, Luzon having nn
area of somo 37,000 miles square.
o
Tho natural resources of tho Islands aro
great, gold, copper, Iron and coal being
found In paying quantities. Tho popula
tion is about S.000,000, the original Inhabit
ants being a race of curly-headed, dwarf
ish blacks, known ns Negrito3. These aro
still In a state of savagery. In all thero
are 200 native tribes, each with its own
language, laws and customs. Tho popu
lation of tho more civilized districts Is di
vided into several classes, tho largest be
ing that of tho puro or nearly puro natives,
living on tho outskirts of tho larger towns,
or In small villages, and being engaged as
Held hands, day laborers and servants.
Next In numbers aro tho Chinese half
castes, who, as a class, are well to do, and
somo oro wealthy. Thero are many Chin
ese. Tho Spanish Mestizos are a smaller
class numerically, but a more Important
ono politically. There aro 300 or 400 Eng
lishmen, Frenchmen, Germans and Amer
icans, who monopolize the wholesale trade
of tho Islands.
o
Tho government Is In the hands of a
hordo of poverty-stricken officials, who
are devoted to but one purpose, that of
plundering tho people. General Weyler
was covernor cencral for three years.
with a salary of $10,000 and perquisites ad
libitum. Thero aro several provinces,
each with a governor nnd nn extensive
staff. The system of taxes Is as compli
cated ns it Is onerous. Everything in
sight Is taxed. A "cedula personal," or
personal certificate, equivalent to a pass
port. Is exacted of every ono, and costs
from $1.50 to $25 annually. A native must
pay for tho privilege of killing his cattlo
or owning a horse. Thero aro taxes on
weights and measures, on stores and shops
nnd Industries of all kinds. Through such
a system of taxation and extortion somo
19,000,000 nnnually reach tho Madrid gov
ernment, to say nothing of tho largo sums
scaled off by corrupt otllclals. And from
nil this vast sum comparatively nothing Is
dono for tho islands. In tho way of roads,
bridges, Improvements of any kind, or
po'.lco protection. It is ngalnst such a
system or fraud, tyranny, negicci aim in
security that tho Philippines aro In revolt
a revolt which Is likely to bo successful.
HAS Mi: UHLV BEGUN.
From tho Times-Herald.
AVe can bo thankful for this much
namely, that tho Spanish government
seems to bo turned In tho right directton.
In compelling tho ministry. Indirectly at
lt-ast. to acknowledge tho right of tho
United States to bo heard In this matter,
and In drawing from them tho expression
of a desire to end tho Insurrection in somo
other way thnn by utterly destroying
Cuba, tho president's policy 'has been ex
tremely successful thus far. But Mr. Mc
Klnley has only entrM upon tho first
part of his task. Tho most difficult part
remains to bo mastered.
PAINLESS DENTISTRY'.
From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
"Hang thnt dentist!" shrieked tho man
with tho swollen Jaw, ns ho rushed Into
tho street and tho arms of nn acquaint
ance. "Whnt for?" Inquired tho friend.
"What has ho done?"
"Dono? Tho big Idiot advertises to
pull teetli without pain!"
"And doesn't ho?"
' Doesn't he? Oh, yes, yes! I don't
supposo It hurts him a bit."

It Is satisfactory to note that President
McKlnley'H policy has forced General
AVltyler'tt recall under circumstances
which mako his removal a moral victory
for tho United States.
