Our Democratic friends should bo excused for the Indulgence In a little cxubrnince nt the present time. When one expects nothing It Is undoubtedly a pleasure to receive a portion of ths favors. i - Concerning the Result. The Itcpublciin victory In this coun ty Tuesday was not as IiIbIi as the Hag start not as wide as a bam door but It will swerve. The defeat of Ixinjr HUilY, Heuster nnd Beck Is sincerely tn be refcrptted. Tho latter went down before a sympathy wave for Koch. lIiiestcr'K defeat was a consequence largely of "Warnlte'a superior activity. The fate of Langstaff cannot satisfac torily be nccounted for until tlmo hns been nfforded for a detailed annlvsls of tho ofllclal returns; but no man on 1he tlclcet received a more earnest nnd energetic support from the Republican organization. The Jarae deflection of Republican vott'ti from Trvor to Leach and Okell nccounts for l'ryor's small plurality. Home of this was duo to tieach's per sonal popularity and was complimen tary In nature: some of It arose from mistaken sympathy for Oke.l, who pleaded for votes "to save his little home," but who forgot to mention that Ills candidacy from start to finish had been a commercial speculation, to our knowledge twlco offered for sale, once nt $1,500 and later at $2,500; and some of It camo as an Inheritance of the general apathy and rcstlessnesss of tho off year following1 an unprecedented presidential light. But Lackawanna, with tho election of a Republican sheriff, prothbnotary, district attor ney .ind clerk of tho courts four out of tho seven important county offlces makes relatively a better showing than any of tho other Pennsylvania, counties having a similarly complex population and In a year of universal Republican slump stands up compara tively high and dry. Republicans of tho slnlwart type, having thus held their own against tho greatest odds likely to confront them in several years, may now breathe freely. Th'ey have proved their teadfastness anJ aro entitled to gen uine congratulation. Dr. Swallow's vote appears to have been derived largely from the Democratic party. Let tho good work go on! The Vote for Swallow. It Is not. necessary to endorse Dr. Swallow's ffholeralt and indiscrimin ate method nf attack upon Republican st-'te officials to perceive that In the enormous vote which he has just polled there lies nn imperative admonition to Pennsylvania Republicanism. Much of the material that this enterprising clerryman used In his campaign of as sault upon tho reigning Republean ilvnasty In Pennsylvania was either false In fact or juggled so as to de ceive. Enough of It was true, however, tn lend plausibility to the whole argu ment; and back of all was a popular disgust with tho state government's superabundant factionalism which :onclud3d to make the political knight errantry of tho Dauphin Don Quixote a pretext for saying to the belligerent soldiers of fortune: "A pluguc on both your houses." The voto of Swallow wan a vote of censure on the last state legislature and upon factional wrangling and cat erwauling lately grown Intolerable; but more than that. It was a serving of for mal notice upon the Rspublican lead ership in command in this great state that In tho important politics of tho nevt few months tho peopl?, also.lntend to have some say. Pennsylvania Is gladly loyal to party organization and command when these evince due re spect for public decency and public opinion. Rut Pennsylvania can bo tempestuous and sullen and at times completely revolutionary when tho strength of organization is wielded by one man or jjroup of men arbitrarily and dlctatorlallv. and when In the choosing of officials and In the shap ing of legislative or executive policies Ihero is want of falrnosss and lack of candor. The returns of this last stato elec tion constitute a storm signal. Skillful pilotage will heed the warning and choose the course of prudence and safetv. There Is nothing surprising In the fact that a women went Insane over New York politics. Enough worry and disturbance of mind were Incurred by Tckawanna politics this year to drive almost anybody crazy. 9 Dignity o Manual Labor. k An exchange deplores the fact that so many young men of this country embark upon professions regardless of their fitness for the same, and Invite failure in instances whero success would have attended efforts applied In the right direction. The reference to tho evils of the mistaking of one's calling is timely. There is scarcely a jocallty In tho universe that cannot furnish glaring exampks of the mis fortunes that attend, the endeavors of young men to succeed In walks of life that are not suited to their attain ments. How many times dally do wo sen Iwne and muscle wasting away in some foppish occupation that might lie employed with profit In an honor able calling whero perhaps manual lltbor would help to develop and keep fn trim a splendid physique, Bending over dtsks and studying ledger ac counts, intrlcato points of taw or other lToblenis, many meii become prema turely old In search of (he Huccess that never comes who inlslit Jiave health and wealth as plutnbprB, machinists, butchers or tillers of tlm eojl, There are countless, Jllustratlons all aV.t..us, that proyp Hint fortunes can be- pbtalned .outsldy -'of tho so-called learned profession. "While education Is something to be desired at all times, It Is a mistaken Idea that one must embrnco a profession In order to be come respectable and guin a living In come. It Is evldpnt that the avemgo voting und In fact old American dots not realize the dignity that should bn attnehed to manual labor. To the true man It Is as honorable to follow a plow, or swing a, hammer and shovo a Jack piano as It Is to address a Jury In court, deal out medicine or lecture upon orthoepy. It Is unfortunate that In this country thcro Is a class that Is predisposed to look down upon man ual labor. But Investigation Invariably proves that the above class Is smalll Indeed when compared to the great army of Americans who can readily recognize worth whether In broadcloth or blue Jeans, and who consider It no disgrace for a man to engage In labor that develops his muscle as well as brain. Tho now Jersey law compelling Trac tion companies to protect their motor men with vestlbuled cars wont Into effect Monday and It Is proposed by the authorities to enforce It throughout the state. No time is being lost In making Investigations ns to tho Intention of corporations and it Is probable that tho New Jersey motorman will be about tho most comfortable specimen of his vocation in tho country during the cold weather. It Is a requirement which should be regarded by all street cat companies, whether they nre thus sub ject to law or not. The position of a motorman on an open platform during tho bitter winter weather Is not enviable. Fidelity or Treason, Which? During tho recent campaign the only candidate on tho Republican ticket who received direct and unequivocal support from the Scranton Republican was John R. Jones. In Its Issue of Nov. 1 that paper published ons edi torial half a column In length review ing favorably and fairly Mr. Jones' record as a public official and omitting the innuendo and covert abuse that had caused each of Its prior editorials on tho other Republican candidates to be seized with avidity by the Democratic press for reprint and to be used by the Democratic managers as campaign weapons. Mr. Jcnes de served this support, both as a Re publican fairly nominated and as a business patron of J. A. Scranton and Son who In tho last three years has turned thousands of dollars' worth of business Into the firm's hands. But Mr. Jones' Republicanism was not more deserving of recognition by a paper professing to advocate Republi can principles than was that of any of his colleagues on the ticket. Why wns he praised while the others were knifed? In order that Mr. Scranton might not have any ground to excuse his expected treachery to the Republican ticket tho Republican county chairman in the beginning of the recent cam paign, under Instructions from the candidates, offered to restoro to tho Scranton Republican tho equal divi sion In tho official printing and adver tising which' it had enjoyed since The Tribune's establishment and up to the spring of 1890, when the former paper's open bolt of the regular Republean city ticket removed It from possible consideration. Tills offer was not made because tho Republican's opposi tion was feared; Its power for mischief In the Republican party ceased after Its action in contributing to tho elec tion of Bailey as mayor and to the turning of tho city government over to the Democrats. The offer was made solely to deprive Mr. Scranton of a reasonable excuse to make his custom ary grab for Democratic campaign money; yet there Is excellent reabon to believe that $2300 raised by assess ment on the Democratic candidates afterward found its way into the Re publican editor's pockets and repre sented the price of Joseph A. Scran ton's willingness to do further injury to a party which for nearly thlrt years had kept him almost continu ously In office and lined his pockets with hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of political pap. In view of these facts we feel that something Is due from the consistent and loyal Republican voters of Lacka wanna county to Tho Tribune In the assignment of credit for unswerving fidelity to Republican candidates and principles, rendered without bargains, deals or bribes, to factional friend or foo alike, and rendered solely upon the grounds of confidence and con stancy In the Republican cause. In the recent campaign not a cent from any candidate entered The Trlbuno's pocket over and above payment for small amounts of advertis ing and Job work together with one day's extra distribution of papers. Even to the printing of cuts oi candidates The Tribune bore tho whole expense of Its advocacy of the Republican ticket, ana has done the same since its first Issue. Wo do not note these minor circumstances In any spirit of complaint or regret; but In view of them we confess to be curious to know of the straight Republican voters of Lackawanna county whether they wish here after to be parties to the shame ful treachery which characterizes the political dealings of Hon. Joseph A. Scranton and his piratical newspaper, the Scranton Boodle Republican, or whether they really believe In de cency and fair play and stand ready to encourage theso characteristics In Re publican Journalism. The Chicago boar-ling house, whose inmates slept peacefully while a bur glar looted tho rooms, selecting tho ar ticles of wearing apparel best pleasing to his fancy, and Uttlng to his llgure, leisurely took n. bath, dressed In his borrowed clothes, and departed undls tmlcl, should be recommended as a resort for people afflicted with insom nia. For some tlmo past there has been an epidemic of tragedy down In Ken tucky. In fact the chivalrous resident nf tho blue grass rcglcci has been more than ever ready to pull his weapon on the Bllghtost provocation. Not satisfied with tho occasional lynching of a negro the high-strung citizens of the land of trotting horses and moon shine whiskey have Ccvelopjd a fond ness for Bhootlng at each other nnd ns a result the descendants of many of tho "first families" have dropped by tho wayside. It Is difficult to nccount for these periodical spasms of the shootlngmanlao, nnd explanation lssel dotn offered save by astrologers. If there Is Indeed anything In tho latter science as taught by Prof. Coles and others, It Is very evident that old Ken tucky Is at, present passing through tho sign of shot-guns and bull-dor revolvers. The paleontoloclcal expedition to be sent out from Princeton to southern ratagonla will serve ns a foundation for enterprising novelists to dilate upon for some time to come. No doubt we shall soon hear from Frank Stock ton .In tho shape of a story with the title, "The Great Ichthyosaurus of 1838," or "The New Cretacrans." It will take three years to disturb tho fossil birds and mammals from their rest of agjs and get them Into a condi tion presentable to the youth of Amer ica. Anyone who can recall tho im pression made at tho World's fair by the Peruvian exhibit of mummies that bore every Indication of having lived a fast life, and who can recall these relics without a shudder, will be pre pared for the pleasured In store for them when Curator Hatch, of tho de partment of vertebral paleontology, re turns from southern Patagonia with his outnt. Tho Kankakee, 111., Idea of fun seems to differ from that usually noted tu civilized lands. Tho physicians and male attendants of the State Hospital tor tho Insane broke up a Hnllowe'en pary which the women attendants were enjoying by turning a lire department hose on tho participants. The result was rather serious to a number of the victims of the "sport" who suffered from broken bones and dangerous bruises. One nurse who was awarded a medal for bravery In saving a pa tient from tho Icy waters of the Kan kakee river last year, was alarmingly Injured by being beaten down with the full force of water from the hose. One Is forced to wonder how the unfortun ate patients of this institution must be treated bt such brutality prevails among Its staff officials. It is probable that ponplo would talk still more about Senorita Evangeline Clsneros If thv knew how to pro r.ounco her name. Jeffersonlan voters In New York did not seem to think the mantle of tho late Henry George would fit Seth Low. TOLD BY THE STARS. Dally Horoscope Drawn by Ajncchus, The Tribune Astrologer.

It is a pleasure to note that the Klon dike fad has drorped almost entirely out of sight. Klondike jokes aro now- heard only in the cheapest of variety shows. The Individual who originated the idea of putting young Scranton girls on the street cars to run motors and collur. fares, ought to have his profile carved In dough.

Tho Scranton Times might ns well in clude the election of Billy Bryan In Up wholesale claims of victory. Use of Machinery in the Coal Mines From the Philadelphia Record. One of tho Immediate effects of the le remt strike In tho coal regions has been to creato a boom In orders for coal mining machinery, and also to stimulate the in vention of Improvements In "undercwi tlng" machines. It Is probably not a haz ardous prediction to say that within tho next ten years nearly ail ot the coal mines will bo fully equipped with coal cutting machinery in wi.U-h each cutter will do the work of at leas eight or ten miners with tho pick. The saving in waste of coal, in time and In wages will, it is calculated, enable rroducers to place coal at tidewater at somewhat less cost than it is delivered at the mouth of the mine under piesent methods. Mr. E. W. Parker Is at prtstnt engaged In compiling for tho United States geological survey statistics showing tho nmount of coal mined by machinery at the present time. Although tho work Is not yet completed, sufflclent data havo already been ob tained to show that tho introduction of mining machinery has steadily been pro?, jessing within tho past live years, in Pennsylvania tho rate is the most rapid of all tho coal producing states. In 1S91 the amount of coal mined by machinery in this state was 213,402 tons; In 1S!W It exceeded G.OW.OGO tons. The ligures given for tlfteen states show an Increase ttom 2,730 short tons in 1W1 to 12,"o3,i'2i tons in 1SO0. In 1S91 thtro was no coal mined by machinery In a number of the states now included in the list of producers of ma chine mined coal. o Tho lighting of coal mines by electric ity, tho mining by compressed air or elec tric power, the introduction of Improved ventilation, of smokeless blasting powder, etc., aro all practicable modern Inven tions which will radically change tho con dition of Jifo in tho mines and attract thereto a tar superior class of operatives. The grand function which science will perform In the coming years will be the lightening of rough toll and the elevation of the most Ignorant class of human be ings. Every new invention opens up a new field of work, usually of a superior kind to that which formerly existed; and so far from Increasing the sum total or want In the laboring world, each new ap pliance adds to tho sum or comfort. Yet there aro carpers Ugh up in the coun cils of the nations, of tho universities and of the church who In effect preach tho old medlaevu! doctrine that man was created to earn his bread in the sweat or hl face, and that any amelioration of toll by tho aid of machinery is a curse. All modern facts prove the contrary; but some theories, llko superstitions, cling to the minds of men with extraordinary tenacity, and, like barnacles on a thlp. they greatly returd tho rato of human progress. Now and then the barnacles aro swept away, and we aro surprised to Bco how tho hip dances through tho water like a thing of life. So it is with progress in human affairs; It proceeds by tits and starts. A new discovery of over whelming force gives a Bidden Impetus to the world's work. Soon tentacles be gin to grow upon the Invention, reaching out to grasp all neighboring objects, thus Impeding progress. Then a fresh Impulse Is given by some newer discovery, and so on. o TWb Is, perhaps, a brond view to take in discussing a subject of limited scope su.h as the mining of coal by machinery; but tho fact la that there Is an endless chain linking together all modern Industrie, and any Improvement In one sooner or later affects all, The tiny Incandescent eloctrlo light, Invented by Edison, was tho precursor of tho more modern en gines, und Is not only tho Immediate causo of great Improvement In all en gines, but to it is directly traceable tho creation of entirely new designs of tho high-speed englrcs of most perfect mech. anlsm needed for these lights. Tis Is but ono illustration out of many. In con elusion, we may safely assert that there Is no more promising Held for tho amelio ration of the hard lot of labor than In tho Introduction ot modern machinery Into coal mines. GONE TO THE "DIP." From tho Wllkes-Uarro Record. Accustomed as wo are in tho coal re gions to deeds of heroism, the tragedy of tho other day in tho Von fitoich mine of Scranton cannot be read without feel ing deeply tho pathos nnd horror of tho awful event. Tho poor Hungarian who kept himself nllvo amid tho tiro and smoko all around him by drinking the air produced by nn old broken fan, tho crank of which ho turned constantly, now feebly and again with the strength of de spair for some sixteen hours, never dar ing to stop a moment for tear or being suffocated, reads llko an Impossible page In some melodramatic story. Tho "Huns," as wo call them, generally, In obedlenco to an American habit of bring ing everything to a point, havo not ex actly been known for facing great dan gers with firm mental equipoise; but all the Eame they are shown In this thrill ing feat In a now light, and a few more such examples of fori sight will do much toward disturbing tho settled belief that theso poor peoplo iro beyond learning. o t'sunlly heretofore it has been tho Hun that fired the gas, or exploded the pow der, killing and maiming hemself or hun dreds ot others becauso of his impene trable ignorance.But they seem to be Im proving. No doubt tho dreadful experi ences they havo had to encounter from time to time, havo taught them many val uablo Sessons and nt last they stem to bo seeing accurately Instead of as through a glass darkly. The Huns shortly will mlno most of our coal and in propottion as they Improvo In their methods of working and in their conduct as citizens, that much will they add to their value as miners and thus rlso to a correspond ing degreo In the estimation of all other classes. Tho people, therefore, read with pity and yet with pride of this poor fel low who knew how to savo his life with everything all about him In chaos. o The manner, too, in which the other miners In the Von Storch accident faced death and left behind them written ac counts of their peril, Is read also with beating hearts and Intcnye sympathy for them. Tho foreman kept tally of their condition from time to time as the deadly gas and smoke kept stifling them. They watched, as it were, the pale horse com ing for them and us their senses thick ened and the stupor slowly overpowered them, they must have felt ns though tho fates had been horribly cruel' to them. One wroto to his wife and children, tell ing them ho would never see them ugaln, ns death was only a short way oft. Im agine his torture, for tho screws and tho rack were put to him surely. Finally ns a last resort all tho poor victims started for another part of the mine, where they thought tho air might be better. "We havo gone to tho 'dip,' " one wrote, but they never got there. o Alas for tho sad destiny of tho human beings who mist work far down In the bowels of the earth! But as tho Into Eck'.ey B. Coxo used to say In tho lan guage of tho poet, "Men must work nnd women mutt weep." Why quote further, tho moral Is so obvious. DECLINE OP THRIFT. From tho Chicago Record. Tho typical Amcrltan was once a model cf industry and thrift. From the time of the landing of the pilgrim fathers, with their frugal habits, down to the close of tho civil war period, the average Ameri can was not only exceedingly Industrious, but exceedingly thilfty as well. Econo my and foresight in planning awlnst tho wants of tho future were virtues highly :steemed nnd generally practiced, sav ing wns a habit common to the well-to-do and to persons of moderate means alike. It was tho practical desire of nearly every one to have something laid by to give him that sense of Independ-c-ncH which only ctu come trom tho pos session of somo totfmrlated wealth over the sum required to supply lmmedlato need?. Evtry worHnrmun, too, had tho feeling that if he was careful and saved his enrnirgs he might some day become ii. capitalist and an employer of labor. Tho transition from the one class to the other wns easy, a fact which did much to stlmulato habits of industry and thrift. o Following tho civil war there was a period of prolonged und extensive specu lation. Speculation engenders extrava gance, and In this case the habits of ex travagance setm to havo permeated all grades of sci-lety. The extravagance of a considerable portion or the very wealthy in tlis country is a mntter of common notoriety. Bui in such cases extravagant oprrdltures do not neces sarily Interfere with further accretions of wealth. But with tho moderately well-to-do and tho poor It Is different. The tendency to live on tho very highest scale one's income will permit of course rreans that nothing can bo saved. That Is ono reason why periods of Industrial depression produco such great hardship. So many aro dependent on Immediate in comes to meet lmmedlato needs, and so few, comparatively, havo anything saved up against tho ever-recurring "hard times," that loss of employment or re- uustion oi wages means serious priva- t Ifttl n 'imnet (m niA.llntr.1i, tji tlon son for tho disappearance or habits of thrift doubtless is found In tho fnct that enterprises aro conducted on such a col ossrI scale that it Is no longer easy even for tho most Irdvstrious nnd frugal to advance from the rank or workman to thut of employer, und in somo lines it Is lmposrlble. TUs fact of courso destroys one of tho greatest Incentives to saving that existed In the days when industry was managed on moderate lines. o Whatever the rclisons, the truth Is in disputable that tho American people are not a thrifty peoplo to tho extent that they were half a century ago. Such a condition of things cannot but bo un fortunate, both tor the people as indi viduals and for tho country us a whole. Extravagance and tho absence of habits of saving in gcod times explain to a con slderablo degree tho remarkably wide spread discontent that is manifested whenever tlmei aro hard. o Tho establishment of postal savings banks would do much to inculcate in persons of very moderate Incomes the habits of thrift for which tho American onco was noted. Many who aro willing to sacrltlco much In order to lay by money for future nteds have been discouraged In attempts at saving by their experlenco with Insecuro banking Institutions. Af ter losing money onco or twice In bank failures It Is little wonder that somo pre fer to spend their money rather than practice scir-denlal only to sco their sav ings dissipated In tho hands of others to whom they wero Intrusted for safo keep lng. Tho federal government should es tablish postal .savings banks and thus offer to thoso who desire to take on hab. Its of thrift an absolutely secure place of deposit for their savings, NOT AN ISSUK. New York Mall and Express. Nothing could bo moro unturtunate for tho causo of Cuba than the widespread repetition of tho contention that tho an nexation or tho Island to tho United Stoles must follow as a logical sequence of its separation from Bpaln. No matter how kindly may be tho motives behind It, this ugttatlon la damaging and vexatious, Its lmmedlato effect will bo to retard nny peaco negotiations which may be Mncler taken by the revolutionary leaders and tho Spanish authorities. To recognize tho independence and surrender control ot Cuba even on tho most liberal terms wilt bo galling rnough to Spain, and eho will bo doubly reluctant to do so on any con ditions which even remotely contemplate the possiblo acquisition of tho territory by this government, Cuban annexation is not an Issuo in the present struggle in the Island, and any attempt to make an Issue of It will needlessly embitter and prolong the bloody warfure for Independ ence.
