SCUANTOX, OCTOUKIl 3, 1S97.
Now that It's nil over, wo don't mind
admitting that Mr. Schadt made a right
smait fight.
The Result In Lncknwnnna,
After the hottest county light In the
lilstoty'of Lackawanna the Itepubli
cntis.linvo lolled ui what seems at
this writing (2 n. m.) to be a complete
victory. The slump In the Hepublicnn
vote throughout thr country linn boon
stayed In this county and the party of
ptotectlon and sound money Is again
grandly victorious.
The stliprlso of the returns Is the
vast vote for Dr. Swallow. It Is an
admonition -to the Republican man
agement lit Pennsylvania that will
need to be' heeded next ycur.
At lilt events, the weather woa Im
partial. fc, Jo Straight Republicans.
NuV .(bat election is over we desire
to hay n Morel concerning the Scrantou
Jtepubllean.
I'm- thirty years the editor of that
paper has derived a livelihood either
dhectly or Indirectly from the Repub
lican party. It has been estimated that
JIOO.OOQ would not measure the amount
of .money In actual cash, not to men
tion other benefits, which- Hon. Joseph
A. Scranton haH received at different
times from that parly's hands. It Is
true that he has made partial return
In the stippott which his newspaper has
from time to time accorded to Repub
lican candidates and policies; yet wo
call the candidates of the past to wit
ness that this lias never been given
lieely out of party loyalty; but invar
iably it has had to bo bought.
The Seranton Republican is Jlr.
Sri anion's personal property and he
tan do with it what he pleases. It is
his privilege to sell his paper's Influ
ence to the Democrats whenever the
notion strikes him or, ns In the recent
campaign, to give to the nominees of
bis own party such craftily phrased
nominal support that every word in
their favor was offset by six words to
their harm. His legal right to do any
of these things, or, ns In the mayoralty
campaign of 1S96, openly to fight the
Republican ticket, not because bought
but because of an Individual grudge, Is
not to be questioned.
To be sure, a manly fighter would
fitand out In the open, either for or
ngainst; and not skulk along among
the camp followers, waiting to riflle the
dead, as the Republican has done In
the campaign Just ended. Rut we rea
lize that considerations of decency, of
fairness, of gratitude to party, and
apparently even of personal manliness
do not appeal to the Republican's
malignant and embittered editor, hence
the&e pointers are waived. To discuss
them would be a waste of space.
Rut as a journal that since Its foun
dation lias Invariably supported with
Its best energy the nominees of the
Republican party, even to the editor
of the Republican himself, Its bitterest
factional and business opponent, we
believe The Tribune has a right to ask
the Republicans of Lackawanna coun
ty, in this moment of lull following a
hatd-fought battle, to' draw compari
sons between its record and the Re
publican's, and to let us know whether
they prefer treachery or fidelity.
As a unifying force Seth Low ap
pears to have unified chleily into Tam
many's pocket.
With Respect to Foot Ball.
Soiosls, the great woman's club of
New York, was regaled this week by
an address from a fair member. Mis.
Shaw, In which he eulogized foot ball
amid the gasps of fond mammas and
the applause of other new women who
listened. She declared It to be rough,
but not brutal or ijangeroa?, and the
best all-around exercise ever devised
for a boy. She believed it to be a com
plete school for self-control and pro
ductive of excellent results. One of its
advantages which she particularly em
phasized was that no boy can eat
sweets and pastry, smoke cigarettes,
drink tea, coffee or alcoholic beverages
and play foot ball, and she also assert
ed that oiganizatfon, subordination,
authority und the spiritual lessons oi
courage and manliness arc thus learned.
She quoted statistics to show that the
interest In athletics had raised the
stundard of morality and temperance
fifty per tent. In twenty-five years.
Although Mrs. Shaw Is a teacher of
boys, as ehe states, it is evident that
srjo has none of her very own; hat
never gone through a season of remon
strance ngainst permitting her darling
to be halfback, has not yielded through
sheer Inability to further continue the
contest, and then shuddered at the
thought of a foot ball grave, where In
imagination or leallty she has seen
lilm maimed and unconscious after u
scrimmage, with Intelligence, or life,
or' former activity forever crushed.
She has not awakened In sudden terror
for many nights thereafter as the hor
rible scene recurs to her overwrought
brain, and in fact Mrs. Shaw has evl
dently seon nothing but the thrilling
panorama, where the brave, uplendld
Voung fellow in the beauty and grace
of their youth and energy have en
gaged in a rough and tumble skirmish,
resulting in no harm as far as outwnrd
appearances might be Judged.
Mrs. Shaw und other new women
who applaud her views might arrange
n compromise which as suited t,o all
Ejduq aa points In Its favor. They
like; athletics. They snjay the spec
tacle of tough sport. "Why should they
not train their own muscles to such -a
fegnte that thumping, banging, halr
putllng, .knocking down and dragging
out necessary to tile physical, moral
and spiritual welfare of a boy, from
cljhdhood.' to the uee of twenty-live
'ari(('s could be afforded .him by his
moths or dome near'f enjlnlne relative
wnrrantcd to do the matter up In ap
proprlato stylo? It would do away
with the gory delight of foot ball games,
to be sure, but if properly advertised
It might offer as great financial In
ducements to the public without the
probablo accompaniment of scttous In
jury to either contestant.
Political obituaries ot Tom Piatt
may bo expected for a season! but we
advise sensible folks not to bet money
on his extinction.
The Result In New York.
The result In 'New York Is a natural
and among most persons an expected
consequence of the division of the ant!
Tammnny vote. It Is a consequence
for which Seth Low will bo hold ac
countable before the bar of American
public opinion. He was tho wrecker
who made a union of forces Impos
sible. It Is not what Spanish diplomacy
promises but what Spanish govern
ment does that counts against Spain
In Cuba. Fair dealing simply Is not
n possibility of tho Spanish character.
Cuba's Reply.
In a fe'v days whatever doubt has ex
isted In any American mind as to the
reception likely to be accorded by tho
Cuban Insurgents to Spain's now offer
of so-cnlled autonomy will be removed.
A meeting of .the leading Cubans in the
United States was held recently In New
Yoik ut which a committee was ap
pointed to draft a formal statement of
their petition. The government offi
cials of tho Cuban republic have al
ready defined their attitude by moans
of a proclamation signed by President
Capote und countersigned by Generals
Comez and Gatcla. This proclamation
reads as follows:
"Cuba cannot accept autonomy oven
In the ample form enjoyed by Cnnada
and the Australian colonics. After our
best chiefs and 150,01)0 persons have
been wantonly assassinated by Weyler
we will not offend their memory by
surrendering to autonomy. Therefore,
while rejecting the autonomy Offered so
Into by Spain, we do not believe It
necessary to remind her that our laws
punish as guilty of high' treason all
persons who come to tho territory of
Cuba Ubre with overtures for the es
tablishment of peace tbroush auton
omy." It is possible that the government of
the 1'nlted States may be Influenced by
Rpanl-li diplomacy to continue Its
present attitude of neutrality; it it
even possble, though hardly probable,
that Spain will persuade the adminis
tration at "Washington to use Its good
oftlces with the insurgent leaders In the
effort to Induce them to discontinue
tholr struggle for Independence and ac
eppt the ovrtmes of Spain. Rut w
believe' that in either event the Cuban
people, both In this ciontry and In
Cuba, wllf stand firm, utterly refusing
to accept any conditions short uf abso
lute Independence from Spanish rule In
nil its odious and treacherous forms.
They have shed too much blood and
wasted too much treasure In their war
against Spain to desist now that they
know full well that Spain Is beaten.
No honjst American can ask them to
compromise with thieves and murder
er"!; and no government representing
the American people can much longet
remain inert if not hostile to the Cu
ban cause.
The running season, though as yet
brief in its career this autumn, ha3
brought in a serious record of scat
tered brains, shattered arms and miss
ing fingers.
Pensions.
At the recent Luzerne County Teach
ers' institute a resolution was passed
dliectlng a legislative committee to
draft u bill for the pensioning of teach
ers after a service of not exceeding
twenty-five years.
At the last session of the legislature
a bill was urged by strong Judicial In
fluence, the object of which was to
make It possible for common pleas
Judges to retire on pensions after
twenty years' continuous service on the
bench. This measure is likely to re
appear In the congress at Washington a
movement has made some headway to
annex to the civil service system a
provision for the pensioning of classi
fied employes of the federal govern
ment who have exceeded a stated
period of service. This movement also
contemplates a disability pension for
victims of accidents or sickness.
In Germany a system has gone Into
effect requrlng employers In certain
industries to set aside a certain per
centage of tholr gross receipts for the
pensioning of dibabled employes and
for the Indemnification and mainten
ance of the families of employes killed
while on duty. This plan Is now be
fore the British parliament In the form
of a bill strongly indorsed by the Eng
lish labor unions and by some promi
nent English statesmen, among them
Joseph Chamberlain.
In addition to these we have pen
sions paid to veteran soldiers and to
soldiers' widows and orphans; pensions
to disabled firemen; pensions to police
men hurt In the discharge of duty;
railway pensions and a variety of other
forms of endowment, public or private.
The tendency is all In the direction of
pensions. Every year adds to the num
ber of pension funds sought to bo col
lected by public taxation.
"We do not say that any of these
propositions Is bad. Undoubtedly the
great majority of them are admirable
in purpose and effect. The pensions
puld to victims of the war for the
preservation of the Union certainly
repiesent no less than Justico and in
many Instances fall far short of that.
But It is seemingly permissible to
Inquire if In this general trend toward
pensions of one kind and nnother there
Is not the danger that tho rising gener
ation may be taught to neglect due
personal thilft and may be .reared in
ithe notlor. that for each citizen to lay
up something for a rainy day Is an
old-fogy Idea without modern neces
sity or force.
AVhether wo pay our teachers, Judges,
workmen, etc., enough to enable them
to provide for their own futures Is,
of course, another question, Into which
we shall not at present go.
It Is announced seml-ofllclally that
tho British government U about to
order the release of Mrs. Florence
Muybrlck. "Whether It will bo white
enough to try to make some atonement
for tho cruel injustice done her Is an
other question.

Governor Atkinson
on Jiidge Lynch
From the PI iladelphla Ledger.
A large portion of the message of Gov
ernor Atkinson to the Georgia state as
sembly is devoted to a ringing denuncia
tion of lynching, which has btecme so
alarmingly prevalent In his und other
states. It would be well If other govern
ors would take the subject up hi the samo
manly and fearless way, and suggest the
same or other feasible methods to check
the crime. Governor Atkinson prefaces
tho important topic by noting the serious
Increase ofcrl me In Georgia, and conse
quently, of tho prison population. He
llnds that the number of convicts havo
increased from SS3 in 1S71 to 2,302 in this
year, exclusive of 1800 which are In the.
county chain gangs, and, futher, that the
increaso ot crime In Georgia, and conse
negro race. In 1S71, he says, 15 per cent,
of the convicts were white, and 1!OT only
8 per cent., while duilng this period tho
blacks In tho penitentiary have increased
COO per cent. More negroes were received
Into the penitentiary In 18M than in tho
years 18C9. 1870 and 1871, and ho odds:
'This result has been reached In spite of
the fact that, in addition to what has
been done by towns and cities supporting
local school systems, we havo spent with
lng that time about four million dollars
In an effort to educate tho people that
they may become better citizens."
o
The governor does not admit that this
expenditure of monty has been a waste,
for he holds that It is unquestionably true
that a large number of the negro race
have made progress Intellectually and
morally, but ho says: "While this con
dition exists among tho better element,
a considerable per cent, ot them have no
regard for law or morals, and, from this
element tho penitentiary Is being replen
ished with alarmlmr rapidity. How to
correct this demoralization and elevate
this peoplo to a better standaid of citi
zenship Is a problem which must call Into
requisition the nobility of character and
tho wisdom of the Anglo-Saxon," Ho ob
serves that to educate this element with
out at tho same time giving them moral
Instruction is an injustice to them and
to society. Ho suggests that It is there
fore tho part of wisdom to look more to
character In selecting tho teachers who
are to receive the stato money for ser
vices in tho schoolroom.
o
With this introduction, Governor At
kinson proceeds on his message to tho
alarming frequency of the graver crimes,
which have to aroused the fear and re
sentment of tho peoplo to cause them
to resort to lynching without waiting the
action of tho machinery of tho law.
Within tho last three years, ho says, there
havo been In Georgia twenty-two lynch
Ings, a little more than an averago of
seven a year. While the governor ad
mits that in dealing with this question
tho peoplo of the Southern states are of
all people, in the most trying position, on
account of having a largo percentage ot
the population clothed with tho rights and
privileges of citizenship, before receiving
the training necessary to prepare them
for the duties and jesponslbllitles there
of, the people schould bo moro determined
in insisting upon leaving to courts and
Juries tho punishment of violators of tho
law. If defects exist In tho law. he de
clares emphatically the remedy is not to
Ignoio and violate tho law, but to amend
it. The citizens cannot bo Justified In
trampling upon law and assuming tho
functions of Judge, Jury and exccutloneer;
tho man who does becomes a criminal.
Tho governor then adds forcibly that tho
frequency of lynchlngs within tho last
few years Is calculated to alarm, every
citizen who realizes the dreadful results
to which it leads. To denominate theso
offenses lynchlngs does not mako them
less lawless or barbarous. An act llko
this "Is an attack upon government It
self u conflict between tho force of an
archy, and law. It Is fundamentally
wrong, because it dellcs government, ig
nores law and punishes without law or
evidence. Under our government, laws
are made and unmado at tho will of tho
majority. If there are unwise laws, tho
people can repeal; If a need for one, tho
people can onaet. Any organized effort
to set at naught our laws, and punish
crime without and In dellanco of the law,
Is Itself criminal. It Is worso than crimi
nal. , In Its very essence, it Is treason
.against tho majority and against govern
ment." o-
Governor Atkinson follows this ecath
lng arraignment by declaring that a mob
Is not a safe tribunal to Justly determine
anv cause, and supports his position by
renting numerous cases where Jynoheu
"men were afterwards clearly proved lo
bo Innocent of the crimes charged against
them. Ho then calls on the legislature
to adopt such measures us will guarantee
cveryono charged with crlmo a fair and
Impartial trial, nnd warns that body that
responsibility for tho crlmo of lynching
rests not only upon actors, but upon tho
community which shuts Its eyes to the
crlmo and permits and tolerates It, and
upon legislators who leftso to enact laws
to suppress it. It can and vlll bo stopped
when tho better element, who deprecate
mob law, nggtesMvely condemn and de
termine to suppress tho practice." In con
clusion, Governor Atkinson makes a num
ber of pertinent suggestions to tho legis
lature to check irtci easing crime. Among
thcart aro that, while trials should not bo
hasty, tho should be prompt; that tho
court be permitted, under certain condi
tions, to change the venuo to uny county
In tho state without Us decision being
reviewed by tho Supreme court; that tho
laws regulating tho granting or continu
ances be altered; that the law which gives
tho defendant n.ore peremptory strikes
bo amended so us to give each party tho
porno number, and to amend the law so
as to punish nssault with Intent to rapo
with death, unless tho punishment bo
reduced upon tho recommendation ot tho
Jury trying the case. Such legislation,
tho governor believes, would check the
crime, If It would not entirely put a stop
to It, for ho ndn Its th&t the certainty of
prompt trials alone will not end lynch
ing. Further legislation, he contends, Is
ncdessary, and suggests ono measuro
which In effect calls for it rigid investiga
tion of the conduct of any arresting olll
ccr from whom n prisoner Is taken and
lynched, and If It be shown' that ho has
not performcil his duty In tho fullesfpar
tlcular, to provide for a severe punish
ment therefor.
(Messages against lynchlngs havo been
uttered by governors beforo this, but few
havo been ns strong or as emphatic as
Governor Atkinson's, and, If he succeeds
In awakening tho legislature to the point
ot following his suggestions. It may bo
tho beginning of a now era In tho south,
ns well as- In some other states, where
lynching Is gaining a foothold.
FIT VENTILATION OF CARS.
From tho Philadelphia Press.
There Is one harm coming from rail
road traveling which is so obvious und
jet so easily remedied that the wonder Is
that it Is allowed to continue. This is
tho piactlce in cold weather of opening
both doors of a car every time a train
stops. It Is tho cause ot moro harm to
tho health of passengers and of moro
deaths than all the railroad incidents put
together. In a recent number the Dietetic
and Hygienic Gazette said: "We need
r.ot and should not tamely submit to the
reckless and outrageous damage to the
health of tho traveling public which tho
servants of the railway corporation!!, one
and all, needlessly inflict on their vic
tims by turning strong draughts of cold
air upon their backs and shoulders every
time a train begins to stop at a station.
The Inrush of cold air through the rear
door of the car when it Is opened before
the train comes to a standstill is of all
tho markedly unhygienic surroundings of
railroad traveling In the United States
ten-fold the greatest In causing attacks
of bronchitis acquired In this kind of
travel."
o
Tho remedy Is so simple that It is
strange it has not been applied. The
Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette says that
the way to abate the nuisance Is for tho
health authorities to leqwlrc "common
carriers to Keep the rear door of lullway
cars closed In all but the mildest wiathcr
and oblige their patrons to puss out by
tho front door;" and it thinks tnat If a
few suits for damage wco brought
against railroad companies by persons
whose health has been injured by these
cold draughts tho rule would be quickly
estaKJshod and observed of keeping the
rear door closed. This is an oel In car
ventilation which can be easily remedied.
Other phases of the same question may
bo surrounded with dlfllcultles, but this
ono Is not. It Is a good time of the year
now to besln this reform, and every rail
road which wishes a repuoatltn for look
ing nfter the comfort of its passengers
should Introduce it and see that it is
fcitriatly adhered to.
IIICYCLK ACCIDENTS.
From the Philadelphia Press.
The bicycle has increased both the
health and the hazards, the perils and
the pleasures of life; but In exactly which
proportion no one knows, and In the na
ture of things it is extremely difficult to
determine how far the bicycle has mado
life more dangerous. "Accident Assur
ances," a Boston paper, has collected
from tho newspapers the bicycle acci
dents in the United States in August.
They numbered 1.4.7), and the Journal
which collected them reaches tho con
clusion that they aro about 15 per cent,
of tho whole number. This is, of course,
not much better than a mero guess,
though the paper from which wo are
quoting claims to have reached this con
clusion "after careful Investigation."
These August accidents consist of 48
deaths, 244 fractures, 224 cuts and lacera
tions, 420 contusions and bruises, 44 dis
locations. 89 sprains and 2U7 injuries to
tho head.
o
For an Innocent recreation In a single
month this will strike most people as a
pretty fulr list of casualties. Besides
tho forty-six persons reported Instantly
killed In August there were forty-eight
persons reported as likely to die. As
suming one-half of them as terminating
fatally and there would be seventy
deaths from blsycles In August. August
Is a favorite month for tiding. "Accident
Aussuranco" concludes that the averago
number of deaths for tho month Is 65,
or 780 a year. Nearly all the deaths from
accidents probably get In tho newspapers,
so that ono may fairly say that tho
fatal bicycle accidents in this county are
from 700 to 800, and nearer 800 than 700.
o
Taking even 800, this compares with
181 passengers killed In 1896 (year end
ing Juno 30), 1,000 railroad employes and
4,408 persons run over by trains. These
things are, however, relative. About
5,000,000 bicycles are believed to be In use.
If there aro 800 deaths, and this meurj.s a
pretty fair proportion, there Is ono death
annually for C2.7) bicycles. Among train
men thero was In 1698 one death for every
152 employed. This Indicates that it Is
forty-one times as dangerous to bo a
brakeman ns to ride a bicycle. No ono
can certainly object to a risk as small as
this.
