Wat sou had cither the brnlns or tho nerve to orlclimto bis recent cowardly at tack on John It. Jones. "Who, then, 13 tho real culprit? Stand to the Guns. It Is the history of politics that tho Republican party has mo3t to fear from Its own overconfldenco. Ono year ago It achieved a splendid victory In county, atato and nation. A national administration was called into power by a majority the largest of tho fen eration. There had been a Ions siege of Democratic hard times, lluslness had languished. Labor had suffered. Kvery species of American lntciest and nctlvlty had experienced a blight. The nation, surfeited with suffering, last fall roused Itself by a supreme effort, throw off the incubus and committed Its destinies again to the tried and true Republican party which never In any emergency has failed it yet. That was not, however, tho end of the battle. Bryanism was defeated but not killed. It is again In tho saddle. AH over the country tho Democratic hosts are rallying behind tho Popo cratle banner and In support of the Chicago platform. "Wherever there Is faltering on the part of tho regular Democratic organization, as with Tam many Jn New York, volunteers from the ranks hoist a new flag, name a now candidate and continue Bryan's fight. The murvelous progress made by the country under McKlnley toward prosperity and the brilliant promise held out for tho futuro under the bene ficent legislation put on tho statute book by the Republican congress elect ed last fall do not deter tneso assail ants of the nation's welfare. They count, not Indeed on calning new re cruits, but on Republican overconfl dence. They hope to catch the party of protection, prosperity and progress napping. It Is thus in state campaigns and it Is thus right here in Lackawanna county. The campaign of the Bryan ltes has been shrewdly planned. They enlist Republican malcontents. They strive to breed dissension In the Re publican ranks. They raise falso charges of Republican corruption and fraud, kick up a big dust, keep Bryan inn and tho Chicago platform as far ns possible In tho background and then with the combined use of bluff and money they expect to make a dash for ofllce. If they can gain that, or even if, nided by Republican overconfidence, they can cut down the Republican ma jorities of last fall so as to give tho appearance of having themselves made gains, they will use this strength In the battles of tho future, making so much harder Republican victory in na tional elections. It Is time for Republicans here and elsewhere to realize the situation and make aggressive preparation for it. Republican supremacy was won last Kill, but It cannot be kept unless vig orously defended. There should bo no "off years." An American Klondike. A recent issue of tho Los Angelea Times contains an exposition of tho mining industry and prospects In the territory tributary to that charming California, city which' Is calculated to give Americans of every locality a new sense of pride in tho mtifnlflcent natur al resources of their own country. It is probable that every reader of The Trib une Is aware of tho attractiveness of Southern California as a fruit-growing center, but to many It will bo news that in this same region there aro to day nearly 1,000 stamps, some 7,000 men engaged In mlnlnjr and a capital ot $20,000,000 profitably invested In the mining Industry; "yet," says the Times, "a beginning litis scarcely been made In tho development of tho region's min eral wealth." Our remote contempor ary continues: "Within tho limits of this country there Is mining territory that would attract millions of capital wero It lo cated In some out-of-the-way section, and advertised in an attractlvo man ner. Near Acton, fifty miles north of Los Angeles, there Is a gold mine tho Red River which, at a depth of 700 feet, holds out promise of becoming a verltnblo bonanza, and In tho Sierra Madre range, within sight of the City Hall, there aro deposits of gold and silver from which' millions of dollars have been extracted In past years. Men are today unsuspsctlngly tramping ov er mineral deposits that contain for tunes. Only a few months ago a pros pector In tho settled portion of River side county noticed n. pleco of float lyint; by tho side of tho county high way, within a few mllss of a railway, and after a brief search located a hill of mineral which now has millions of tons of good gold oie In sight." There arc," it adds, "very few min ing; sections In tho world which offer such faculties for tho profitable work ing of mines as dots Southern Cali fornia. Tho mild climate permits of work being conducted In the open air all tho yoar round, a marked contrast to tho condition of affairs which pro vails In" titer latest El Dorado In 'Alaska. Supplies of all descriptions, In- eluding machinery, may bo purchased In Los Augelps as cheap as, or cheaper than, In any other mining section of the United States. Gold is by no moann tho only valuable mineral that Is found In Southern California, Among other minerals that exist hew are borax, cop prr, clnncbar, Iron, lead and marble. Llttlo or nothing has yet been done in tho davelopment of these deposltH." In vlsw of the Intelligence now being received from tho Canadian lClondlko roglon ot the beginning of n predicted winter of Intense discontent among tho rash ceekcra after fortuno who per mitted themselves to bo allured to that bleak nren where absolutely no provis ion has yet been made for the support of a larno immigration, it seems a pity that tho if Id-hunting mania bo far as Americans nro concerned does not first exhaust tho mineral possibilities of our own land before Impelling a per ilous and for tho greater part a vain exodus to foreign parts. The L03 An pcles Times, which Is a reputable pa per whoso representations merit confl tlnci', has performed a genuine public service In muklnc known at this time how and whero American prospectors enn add to their own and their coun try's wealth' without Incurring dangers beyord the power of the imagination to conceive. m There nro some things oven in poli tics which aro inexcusable. Bolting bccnu&e of pique Is ono of them. It makes honest partisans tired. Por Jury Commissioner. The impression which exists that this is an ofllco of secondary Importance may bo ttuo so far as Its pecuniary value Is concerned: but from another standpoint It Is of the highest Impor tance. Tho Jury system Is ono of tho foundations of our liberty and Its safe guarding should bo tho concern of every true Amerloan citizen. For Jury commlsf loner at this time the Republi can party lias named Charles A. Wig gins, ono of the alert young Repub licans ot the central city. Mr. Wig gins' honesty Is above reproach and with him among thoso who supervlso tho drawing of Jurors In this county tho public can rest nbsured that thero will not bo any chicanery. Do tho citizens of Lackawanna yearn to establish a Balley-Boland free-silver dynasty? If so, let them pitch In and elect Schadt and Horn. A Supreme Struggle. We are surprised to see such Journals as tho Chicago TImcs-IIcrald and tho Philadelphia Press engaged cither In openly encouraging th'o attack which SetU Low and his band of Mugwump guerillas nro making in New York city on tho Republican party or clso by neutrality depriving that party of tho active support which it has reason to expect from those champions of tho national administration. This is tho more surprising in view of the fact that tho Washington Star, a thorough ly unbiased and trustworthy paper, has recently made announcement, it Is fair to assume not without ample authority, that th'o president regards tho candi dacy of General Tracy ns representing thoso principles in government and in polities which every loyal Repuollcan should stand up for, boldly and with out equlvocatlon.and considers the Low movement Jn Its later aspects as an attack In effect, if not in intent, upon himself. TJio facts with reference to tho New York situation aro gradually becoming clear. It is now known to every well informed student of current politics that Mr. Low Is himself wholly to blame for tho conditions which led to the nomination of General Tracy in place of a Republican lndornement of his own candidacy. It Is Mr. Low olono who must be held responsible for the precipitate and Insulting course of the self-constituted Citizens' Union com mittee In forcing his nomination be fore tho Republicans had had time to net, for a word from him would at any time have modified It. It was Mr. Low nlono who subsequently spurned a con ference sought by the RepuVIcan or ganization for tho purpose of effecting if possible a compromise and a coales cence of all the anti-Tammany forces. And it was Mr. Low alono who finally, after General Tracy himself had held out the olive branch, assumed to pos sess a, monopoly of civic vlrtuo and absolutely declined to consider under any circumstances tho possibility of a compromise nomination. At every stago of the proceedings, from tho in ception of his guerilla candidacy to tho present moment, his personal pride, ambition and obstinacy have been tho great wedses of division In the ele ments opposed to Tammany. And now, at the last, ho Is caught dickering with Hniry George, tho representative of Bryanism In its most radical aspects, In tho hope of defeating not simply his Republican antagonist, General Tracy, who years before In a similar emergen cy had generously stepped down so that Low could bo elevated, but also tho Republican county nnd legislative ticket In other words, declaring war on tho Republican party. There Ja a limit to human patience, and this limit has certainly been reach ed by ths loyal Republicans cf greater New York and by their colleagues else where. Tho Ivow movement has re vealed finally Its r;nl animus ns a de liberately plotted scheme to disrupt tho Republican party In the chief city of tho Union; to humiliate its loaders, wreck its organization and confirm in power tho malovoisnt Mugwump clique which at every period In our recent history since tho assassination of Gar field and tho political betrayal of Blalno has stood as a menace to Republican interests and pollcl5s. If there io grit, courage and back bone left in tho Re publicanism of the Kmplro state it will now assert Itself. In such an Ibsuo thero Is no place for skulkers. Lot tho vital forces of modern Republicanism carry the battlo through tho trenches to a finish and ascertain onco for all who aro tho party's enemies and who its friends. Of all tho goose food that has been evolved in American Journalism slnco tho rebellion In Cuba began, surely the silliest Is tho apprehonsionwhlch seized upon certain able editors so soon as It becamo known that Senorlta Clsncros had been rescued from Jail In Havana under American auspices and was be ing brought to thU country. They in stantly fell to supposing what awful things might happen If the young Cuban refugee) should reach American soil nnd Spain prefer a demand for her surrender. Welt, eho has reached American soli, nnd Spain hasn't said a word. Nor is Spain likely to. Don't suppose that Spanish diplomacy has no souse. If it shall provo true that tho Now York Journal was tho actlvo instru ment In effecting tho dramatic cscnpo of Scnorlta CIsncroB tho achievement will add moro to Its prestige nnd to tho prestige of Ameilcan Journalism than any other feat of modern times. Wo use tho "If" because experience has taught tho wisdom of taking tho Journal's boastings cum grano sails. Does tho Soranton Times think it is an Insult to Irishmen to Inform them of tho cold-blooded manner In which Schadt, Horn and their lieutenants in the Democratic camp aro going to sac rifice tho Irish candidates on tho Bry anlto ticket? Isn't tho insult on the Times' part in serving as tho organ of such a purpose? Secretary Sherman's assuranco to Salisbury that h'o is "surprised" at tho lattcr's discourtesy concerning the seal conference Is probably a flguro of speech. Nothing Jn British conduct In this matter could truthfully bo called surprising. Blanco's advertised "vigorous meas ures In Cuba" will probably take tho form cf a frantic search for a passablo pretext for letting Cuba go. About tho only uso Schadt and his crowd have for the Irish-Americans of the county is on election day. Other times they aro not In it. TOLD UY THE STARS.

During tho last few months tho carica ture of Undo Sam lia3 grown pai tlcularly familiar to our eyes. Thu origin of tho caricature Is not known; but tho oldest man living can hardly remember when it was not substantially what it is today. No national caricature not even John Bull, atalnst which tho English havo often protested. has eer been In somo respects quite so extravagant. It Is dltil cult to lmaclno how tho Idea of such a llguro could havo been conceived to rep resent this country. Tho faco and fea tures of Undo Sam, or Brother Jonathan, nro highly Intelligent, even good-looking, indicative of ilrmncss, sagacity, discern ment, coolness all striking cthnlo traits. But tho nqullluo noso Is not common with us, rather tho exception. Our faces, In deed, resemble, in tho main, tho Grecian type, moro than thoso of tho English, French, German, Italian or any other European nation. Tho thin, tall, angular figure Is closely nlllod to ours, ec-peelal!y as It was in an earlier generation. Hineo tho civil war we havo accumulated ilcsh, owing to our great Increase in material means and our general prosperity. We aro still, howovcr, a slender people, especially compared with tho people of tho old world; not as a n-(R growing stout even after middle age, as Is general over thero. o Tho attlro of Undo Sam 13 wholly anom alous, unprecedented, In any quarter of civilization or barbarism. No human creature has ever worn such extraordi nary clothes in a Mnglo suit a bell crowned hat, a claw-hammer coat, short In tho skirt, long in tho tails; an eccen tric waist-coat much abbreviated, a pro fusely rufllod shirt, bhrunken trousers, with very long straps, fastened under old-fashioned Wellington boots of an tique pattern. Tho shirt collar is razor bladed in hhape, coming up to the ears, and abovo an enormous, wildly disordered necktlo of gorgeous colors. This cos tumo must havo been borrowed from tho stago yankco, eo popular in tho first half of tho century, but long since passed into oblivion. Ho was purely a concoction of tho brain, never having been en In Uio iemoto.it corner of New England, tho na tive habitat of tho pnmoval yankec. It teems impo..ilblo that bo could ever have drawn crowded houses in all tho big towns of tho republic, having had no model in life or literature, an1 unques tionably not savorlne In tho slightest of tho ideal. Certainly Undo Sam is dressed very similarly to tho departed comediana of a bygono epooh. Tho propcrtv-roon's of that day havo turned to dust; but por tions of their contents might bo repro duced from pictorial illustrations of cur contemporailcs. o Tho physical and laimenlal Uncle Sam Is as nothing compared with his lingual part, which is particularly offensive to overy intelligent, educated American in tho land. What a strango glbberi3h 13 put into his mouth I It Is supposed to bo caufo It can bo comprehended by thoso because, it can bo comprehended by those capable of understanding and speaking tho English tongue. His speech Is a vul gar sort or dialect that has never been uttered anywhero on tho globo. It con sists of a completo perversion of tho orthography, pronunciation, enunciation, employment of our mother tongue, a com plete misuse of all its torms, idioms, principles; a subversion of tho usual forms Into what assumes onco to havo been, but never has been, tho vernacular. This cacophonous terminology la a pre clso copy of tho talk of tho yankco como dlon, barring his lntonso nasal accent, his excesslvo drawl, his curious gestures, grimaces nnd attempts at artificial drol lery. If playbooka of that era wero ex tant they would bo found almost count ci parts of tho present Unco. o That lingo Is an ntroclous libel on Americans genorally. Tho most Ignoiant rustics hero never speak ns Uncle Sam Is presumed to speak. Wo as a peoplo uso better English, on tho whole, than Is used In any English-speaking com munity In the world. In England, as Is well known, many of tho Inhabitants of ono county cannot understand tho in habitants of nn adjoining county. A unl-verslty-bred Londoner cannot translate tho uncouth patois of tho provinces to his consciousness. Tho citizens of any ono of our states can communicate free ly with tho citizens of nny other state. A New Englander Is at home, so far as his car Is concerned, throughout tho south, as a southerner Is with a now settlor in tho far western territories. A Harvard or Yalo graduato talks freely and easily with a Colorado miner or a Minnesota famcr. The entlro republic Is bound closely together by a common, in tclllglblo English speech. In Great Britain tho conditions nro Just tho opposite. o Wo ourselves put ourselves forward In tho gulso of Undo Sam, or Brother Jon nthan, twenty times whero any Briton or contlncntnltst so putn us forward once. Tho things ono says of oncsolf are naturally bolloved. Wlint wonder Is It then that in a largo part of tho civilized world wo aro thought to bo llttlo better than savages, having no recognizable tongue, thereforo no Btnndards accepted by tho enlightened classes of tho globo? No marvel that American Is regarded as a distinct language from English! In truth no languago nt all, but a dcrlvatlvo from our Indian tongues. Our lovo of humor Is so great and so peculiar that wo con sider it a Jest to hoax anybody, es pecially a wholo community or nation. It seems very droll, In our eyes, thnt the leading nation of tho earth In all that constitutes progress and humanity should bo esteemed ns deficient in what lies nt tho baso of advanced government. Any other nation would feel so gross a mis understanding ns doing them scrtous mis chief, Incalculable harm. But such a na tion can have, as wo Judge, no keen senso of humor. Is not our perception of humor tho strangest of all humor? Is it not tlmo for us to Introduce a now sym bol of Undo Sam, which represents us, Instead of burlesquing us? is It not time, In this, our second century, that wo should begin to bo serious? INDEPENDENT POLITICS. From tho Oarbondalo Leader. All admit that party organization is es sential in a popular government, and that tho majority must rule. It is ldlo to talk of Independent ootlon In politics save in exceptional oases. It is truo that corrupt and designing men aro actlvo In all par tics, but tho masses aro honest and well meaning. If they will tako an interest In political nrtal.ru and do their duty at tho primaries, tJho machinations of corrupt partisans can easily bo thwarted. a Just now thero it a great cry raised in certain cuarters that somo of the defeat ed aspirants for olllco In this county havo been cheated of their rights. The Demo cratic leaders through their party press and orators, (Heaven savo tho mark!) aro charging tho Republicans with having held a "boodlo" convention, and put In nomination a tickot that Is not tho dholco of tho masses of tho party. This cry Is Joined In by a few dissatisfied men among tho Republicans. But no ono comes for ward with an iota of proof of theso alle gations of fraud. They havo nothing to say against tho character or competency of any candldato on tho ticket. "They wero nominated at tho dictation of ono man," they say, "and money was used to corrupt delegates." Hut whero Is tho proof? Their acusatlons aro moro gener alities. Why do not theso accusers specify some Individual case? Tho man who has committed larceny has been known to Join heartily In the cry of " stop thief," nnd so it Is qulto natural for thoso who hao resorted to questionable practices In securing tho support of delegates to at tribute baso motl es to their competitors. o No Republican voter can Justify him self In refusing to support tho regular ticket of his party unless ho is satisfied that thero has been wrong doing on tho part of thoso who, under the rules of the party, liavo put it In the field. Ho should not bo moved by tho shouting: of tho avowed enemies of the party or Its falso friends. You may bo suro that all this cry comes from Interested parlies who, on tho one hand aro striving to elect the Dem ocratic ticket, and on tho other to be re venged on the party that refused to put them In responsible and lucrative olllccs. WOIITUV Of 8UPlOIlT. From tho Courier-Progress. No man Is moro worthy of tho constdcra. tlon of Hydo Park ,jeoplo than W. H. Langstaff, tho Republican candldato for county treasurer. Mr. Langstaff was born on this sldo of tho river and lias always lived here. Ho besian his Hfo work ns a. slato picker at tho Hampton mine, was af terward a driver in that shaft and over hlnco has been employed in or about tt.o mlnc3. Thoso who know Will Langstaif best speak tho mo3t favorably of him. Ho is a substantial, big-hearted, broad gauged innn, cloin nnd honest and will (111 tho ofllco ho seeks with that credit that characterizes him In everything that he dois. Wo know that overy effort has been mado to prejudlco his caso on thu nldo of tho river and various stories havo been circulated to Injure bis chance, but they aro falso nnd will fall In their pur pose, because they do Mr. Langstaff a gross Injustice. SKTIl LOW TO HL AMI:. From tho Washington Post. Tho present situation In New York city Is decidedly discouraging to tho non-partisan theory. And for tho discourage ment tho leading advocates and organs of non-partisanship ato largely responsible. Discreet management of the Citizens' union movemont would, wo firmly bellove, havo made eorlly practlcablo a consolida tion of forces opposed to Tammany Insuf ficient numbers to havo carrlod tho elec tion. But, reckless ot tho fact that tho principal clement of such a combination must como from tho Republican party, tho organs of tho Low movement deliber ately proceeded to forco tho leading Re publicans Into antagonistic but sclf-do-fenslvo action. . WKVLCU, rAKEWKLL. From tho New York Sun. Woyler's career In Cuba has been ono of butahery, cowardice, rapine, venality, mendacity and failure. It has been a ca rter of disgrace and dishonor Ho has outraged Cuba without gaining any ad vantage for Spain. Back to Spain let tho malefactor go! Away from Cuba, tho men and women of which ho has mas sacred 1 Back to the country tens ot thousands of wttioso sons he has driven to death In tho prlmo of their life! For un told ages tho namo of Weyler will bo a name of horror in Cuba nnd in tho records of modern war. THE REASON' l'OK TIIEASOK. From tho Courier-Progress. Thoso wiio say that Mr. Pryor has had enough evidently havo forgotten that Mr. Schadt, tho present county treasurer, is his opponent. Wo venture to say that Mr. Schadt mado moro last year out of his of llco than Mr. Pryor did in threo years from his. That's not much of a reason for Republicans to hdp turn over so Impor tant an office as sheriff to help along Dem ocratic success In tho future. Democratic success, by tho way, docs not mean any success for tho country. Recent history proves that. REPUBLICANISM'S FItUlTS. From tho Courier-Progress. Republican national success and tho en actment of tho Dingley tariff law havo in spired tho country with confidence and tho industrial and business worlds are begin ning to "feel prosperity's wclcomo touch. Thousands of persons aro employed today who wero Idlo a few months ago and from overy quarter comes tho assuranco that a now era, a Republican era, is dawning and that tho impoverishing Democratic times will soon bo jio moro. UP-TO.DATE' JOUKNAMSM. From tho Wllkcs-Barro News-Dealer. Heaven only knows what sort of a start tho Journal of tho futuro will havo to bo equipped with to mako It a success. Tho modern newspapers, or a. few of them, havo a staff of spies, a staff of detectives, a staff of experts, a staff of rescuers, a staff of charity dlsponscrs, a staff ot In vestigators, and a large staff of up to date liars. If the newspaper ot tho futuro can outdo this array it will be astonishing. THAT'S WUAT. From tho Philadelphia Press. Scratch what tho Mugwumps call a "Jingo" and you find a patriot.
