All things conslileied, the best thine that the projectors of this wotnen-for-fltrcot-car-comluctors movement can do is to drop the foolish notion right whero It Is. Regarding Currency Reform. Senator I'latt of Connecticut has ex pressed the common henso of a inuch exaggeratcd matter1 by pronouncing Impracticable any attempt by the pres ent administration to move townrtl currency reform until It has reasonable assurance that congress, and especial ly the senate, 111 aid Instead of hin der and nullify Its efforts. A portion of the public is clamorous for currency reform and yet no two of those who thus makt the welkin ring are agreed either In principle or In detail upon what kind of reform they want. Meanwhile, tho currency that we have Is doing admirably nnd If the ngltators In kid gloves no less than the ogltators In blouses would only give business a chance to recuperate in peace, we should toon all bo happy. Tho Republican paity cannot be driv en by tho .shouting of its enemies Into u fool fight against shadows. It has cut out enough to do during the next, year or two In the readjustment of the revenues to a fair protective basis nnd In the handling of the delic.itc foreign complications inherited from tho curious administration of Grovcr Cicvtland. Currency reform is In no hurry. It will bo time to set forth on that campaign when the experts come together In substantial agree ment upon what they want reformed nnd how. Talk of Toraker knifing Hanna pro ceeds not from facts but from delre. Joseph Benson Foraker is no saphead. The Outlook in the Senate. With tho near approach of tho con stitutional date for the reassemblage of congress the long-mooted proposition of cloture for the senate newly lccelves popular discussion. This time it ap pears that the silver men aic uneasy. They have long enjoyed tho obstruc tionary possibilities conferred by the present rule of unlimited senatorial debate, nnd have recognized in that nile a resource for their cause even after reverses at the polls shall hae diminished their number to a minority; but since the elections of last week, which practically absura a working Republican majority not later than 1S09, they have grown BUddenly ap prehensive. And it is with reason. If there is ono policy for which the Republican party now stands, It Is the policy of majority rule. This policy has been incorporated by it into the permanent tiaclltlons of the house, and it is as certain as anything In tho future tan bo th.it one of tho first &teps which t,-IH follow the installation of a work ing Republican majoilty In tho sen ate will be the adoption for all sub sequent time of a nile enabling a ma jority after reasonable debate to en fono the previous Question. Th'o exigencies of the public service will probably not require of the senate so Mimmary n. rule of cloture as obtains today In tho house. Nor Is It desirable that the freedom of debate which lins aforetime been tho senate's one com manding distinction should be curtail ed In Its essence. Rut It is Imperative for the senate's own perpetuity that this fieedom shall not much longer lemaln degenerate In the wildest license of fllbuster and Oicer fiactlou3ness. Ample debate for tho purpose of Instruction is one thing; endless babble for the purpose of ob&tiuctlon is quite another. The consuming of Umo bv unimpressive mlnoilties not by high argument com pelling thoughtful attention but by contemptible trick and artifice for this express end of "holding up" majority mcPMires as tho armed highwayman might at pistol point hold up a train full of passengers each Intellectually nnd morally more than his peer, is ns far removed from the tiaditlonal purport of the present bcnatc rules as Is tho northern pole removed from the southern It Is the abuse of freo de bate, not its wise use, at which the corrective blow is aimed. General Blanco cannot conquer tho Cuban Insurrection with a pie counter. i Is Its Mission Completed? "Wo Invite the attention of our read ers to on editorial reprinted elsewheie from the New York Sun. It Is worthy of thought ful study and wo believe Its conclusions are sound. There are persons In each American community who herald it as a virtue that they aro Independents in politics. They profess to regard w-Jth a ceitaln feeling of pity mixed with contempt those citizens who are partisans. They especially view with a show of exalted disdain those citizens who acknow ledge allegiance In politics to tho Re publican party. They assume to bo better than any party; so much better that they affect to legard steady co operation with any party, and more particularly with the Republican party, ns requiring of them forfeiture of their self respect. They will not lend their e.torts to th'o brlngins out from party management and methods tho best xe sults in government possible to be brought out with conditions as they exist; they wilt not take hold of the party system and at 30mo personal sacrifice of time and energy and money strive to lift It to as high a degree of practical efficiency nnd beneficence as It can bo lifted when tho fact Is recognized that the electorate in this country is not uniformly wise, upright nnd progressive; but they will stand "nock and criticize; they will be petu lant, denunciatory and obstructive. Tho name for this attitude of inde pendence In Mugwumpery and the Sun accurately describes what evils Wugwumpory has inllicted upon tha J public affairs of our time. It has been, In pretence, a suporlorJnfiuei.ee; but In effect It has been Invariably a deteri orating and n. mischievous Jnltticnce. It Is rcsponslblo for Clevelandlsm, nnd that cost every American citizen dear. My being rcsponslblo for Clovolandlsm It made possible the opposlto extreme of lluanlsm, and Hint, also, has brought harm upon tho entlro elide of Ameilcan enterpilBC. It Is now threat ening to Introduce Into the politics of the coming decade a third oin tho era of non-partlsanlsm, of whimsical per sonal rule by self-proclnlmedly superior men, responsible to no organized body of their fellow-citizens; erratic, eccen tric and given over wholly to their per sonal Impulses. The Bywtem of govern ment by party, under which this nation has enjoyed more than a conturv of wondeiful growth In all directions of possible human achievement, Is to be branded as obsolete, and In Its stead we are to have. If these counsels pre vail, a charts of government by self nppolnted leadeis, pursuing new-fang-led Ideals of their own; no two in bar men, no two willing to make minor concessions for the sake of major le sults; no two, in other words, under that sense of discipline and wise re sttatut which makes of wisely direct ed party organization an Irresistible power for good. And yet, all this time, the fact is undeniable that the Republican party, taken as Mr. Lincoln would say "com ing and going," Is tho ono party that we have which Is efficient for tho latge trusts of administration and adequate to the supreme demands of constitu tive and conservative statesmanship. As a paity It is not perfect. Ciitlclsiu for lmiuovemcnt Is an Inalienable prerogative of Its membership. Rut lias a period been reached in human evolution when It may safely bo kicked over, to make way for the Indetermin ate, Invertebrate thing which Jlug- wumpery offers ns a substitute? Happily for Maik Hanna, senators are not elected by the yellow kid prcs3. As Spain Views Us. In a most Interesting letter to tho New York Herald that eminent Span ish republican, and reputedly tho great est statesman of his race, Send Cas telar, indulges In some readable com ments on American diplomacy. In his eyes our attempts at coping with the expert diplomats of Europe nro amus ing -vol y. Our mlnlsteis ,ue garru lous, tactless and pertlnac'ously bom bastic; to borrow a compaihon fiom the literature of his own land, they are a cross between Don Quixote and Sancho Panza they make tho astute and machiavellian foreign ministers of Europe exceedingly tired. "Many peisons," says Senor Cnste lar, "bellovo that the Amet leans bear upon tho points of their lances the doctrine of Monroe. That is good. It does not matter to them' one fig. They do not call the tiled and proved pio gramme law, light, jurisprudence or anything equivalent for the religious respect felt by all Anglo-Saxons for the literal meaninc; of their statutes. They call it doctilne the doctrine of Monroe. "Why do they call It docttlne? To Interpret it nccoullng to the occa sion, tho circumstances, tho interests. It does not suit them that the- French should open the Panama route. They straightway invoke the Monioc doc trine. Do they themselves wish to open tho route by Nicaiagua? Then, not having sufficient money, they con cede one whole half of the canal to the English, In spite of the Monroe doctrine. A good case they make of Monioe. The name Is not omitted fiom one 'platfotm,' as they say; from a convenlency, as we say. Neither do they lose themselves for tho republi can form. It pleases them and they prefer It to nil othots, but thev will not bieak a single lance for It. They have never at nnv time lent nny aid to republicanism. Kossuth used to tell me that ho found In Ameilca a per sonal triumph similar to the triumph of a Roman gcnci.il. For his crusade and his democratic war he did not find one dollar. They piefened, for their gold, to hear the singer, Jenny I.ind, rather than to hat vest by It Ruiope to lepubllcanlsm. And although they nlways piotested against tjianbi tho United States was the flist power to lecognlze the two duplies of Ameilca the elliptic of Iturblde In Mexico and that of Uinganza in Rio Janolio." This candid critic has no fears that tho United States will do moio than talk in favor of freedom fur Cuba. He cites the course of our government duilng Giant's ndminlstiatlon, when despite tho sputter of our congiess. the bluff wi' bluster of our minister at Madiid, General Sickles, nnd tho jin goism of our sectetaiy of state, Ham ilton Fish, Spain went on along its own wav to tho pacification of Cuba and swerved not a hair's widtli be cause of Yankee piessuic. Senor Cas telar Is In fact cynically, almost biutal ly fiank In his contompt for the Ameri can government; and when ono con sldeis how vacillating and Indecisive our Cuban policy has been, one can not much blame him. It Is noteworthy In this connection that the lending Cubans In this coun try agree with him, at least so far as believing that the Independence of Cuba will have to be won In spite of the government at Washington. Pub lie opinion Is all right. The sympathies of the American people nie not astray. Rut a gag seems In some unaccount able manner to have been put upon the officials that ono would expect to obey rather than pairy the pronounced popular will. Tho Jugglers at Madrid rig up a fake scheme for blinding our eyes which they call Cuban adminis trative reform. They hush tempoiar ily tho martial biutallsm of Weyler and play a role of seeming contrition nnd our government apparently falls headlong Into tho trap, while tho fakers at Maclild doubtless snicker In their sleeves. This nppears to bo the pies ent status of the whole Cuban prob lem. Appearances nre proverbially deceptive. Wo hope they aro In this case. Following the action of tho commis sioner of patents In disbarring tho pat ent attorney firm of John Wedderburn & Co. from practice before tho United States patent office, tho postmaster general has now denied tho use of the malls to this firm. Its downfall 1b tnuefore complete, nnd doiihclo othei fraud oiders will follow. The present administration Is to bo commended for Its vlgilancQ and Its nerve. No snide gnme, however well backed by cash nnd pull, should "go" with Uncle Sam. Tho situation In which General Julio Sangullly finds himself Is certainly not enviable. When released from Span ish detention In Havnna through the Intercession of the American state de partment upon the strength of his tint uralizatlon ns nn American citizen, he signed a pledge not to return to Cuban territory during tho remainder of the present Insurrection. But he is a regularly commissioned officer In tho Cuban nrmy holding from Gcnernl Gomez tho rnnk of mnjor general, and Gomez hns ordered him to report nt headquarters for duty by Dec. 10 or else bo dishonorably dismissed from tho service. Gomez knew the circum stances and therefore his order Is a scant courtesy to Sangullly nnd to tho Amerlcnn government. But It Is mili tary law, nnd whichever wny ho turns Sangullly Is In for trouble. What do our leaders think ho ought to do? The earnestness of President McKin ley's desire to refrain from embarrass ing Spain may bo Inferred from the fact that ho has permitted, so far as wo know, without protest, another postponement of tho trial of the Amer ican citizens captured on board tho Competitor, who, after what was cleat ly an Illegal and unwarranted ar icst. were first sentenced to death and later kept for eighteen months in a vile jail, being now doomed to indefi nite additional Imprisonment, all be cause tho administration at Washing ton does not wish to crowd Spain. If those Competitor prisoners had been subjects of Great Britain, would Spain have been permitted to dally with them thus? Probably not. By a vote of 01 to 3 the Georgia house of lepresentntlves has enacted a law piohlbltlng public games of football. If tho law condemns prize lighting wo cannot see why It should be expected to legalize far more dangerous forms of sport. Dr. Swallow's eagerness to servo his country In tho role of a candidate for office shows that even leformers have their share of human natuie. It Maryland chooses a Bonaparte as senator It Is a safe guess ho will re vel se for Wellington the significance of tho earlier Wateiloo. Of a truth is America setting tho pace for tho woild. Even the Aus trian parliament Is trjing to imitate our congress. MdguMmpery as a National Danger From tho New Yoik Sun. Tho political fickleness wnlch has dis tinguished tho American pcoplo during the last thi! teen juais, or since tho de lcat of IIl.il.io and tho first election of Cleveland, has had Its logical conse quence in the most serious disturbance of business conditions from which this countiy his icr suffered. It has also been accompanied by untoward popular manifestations of querulous discontent which aro a not less logical result of such miiiurlal political sentiment and convic tion. o Tho pilmo caii'-o of this mlschlovous fickleness was tho unieasonlng reslatanco to the wholesomo conservative Influence, of stiict party organization and division which became known as Mugwumpery when it ims started In 1S84 as a protest against tho nomination of Mr. Blaine. It began in tho Republican party, and was not impelled by anj political principle, but was due pmcly to animosity asalndt Mr. Blaine, pirsonillj, and It also exerted Its forco in behalf of Mr. Cleveland, on personal grounds merely. Newspapers and individuals previously supporting tho Republican polity turned aiound squaiely In a day and advocated strenuously the i lection of a candidate nominated by tho Democratic parly, to which they had been steadfastly opposed from tho very organization of tho Republican purty, or at least fiom tho lime- of tho election of Lincoln This tadlcal chnngo In them was not induced by ar.y change mado in tho Republican policy nt tho time of tho nomination of Mr Blaine. They all stoutly supported General Garfield in ISSO on substantially the samo platform and the same thtorj of government repre sented by Mi. BIjIih in 1SSI, and they had opp-cd General IIuicoclc In 1&0 on a platform id utl ,il In splilt and intent with that on which was placed Mr. Cleve luvd, whom they suppoitcd so hotly in 1!SI. o That Is, this revolt was not on pollllcal piiiielple, but blmpi) against the party niganlzatioii of the Republicans becauso it did not consult their personal prejud ices In tho noniliiatlnn of a candidate, nnd the) went our to Mr. Cleveland because of puiely ptrsonnl leasons only. Thus was begun the assault on party organi sation simply as such, from which this country has slnco ttilfcred so grievously. Thus was hturtwl tho querulous disposi tion to kick ugalt.st party government, of which tho result has been n continuous peiiod of llcltlo and mercurial politics, In Jul ions to every American Interest', con fusing and perplexing to trade and manu facture, ard pioductlvo throughout tho world of a icputatlon for Instability veiy damaging to tho American republic. o In Us8, the count!) turned about square ly and elected General Harrison ovei Mr. Cleveland, going back precipitately to tho protection It had rejected In 1SSI. In 189J It again reversed Its position squarely, re ji'etlnrf Genenl llaiilfoii uftei a most successful ndminlstiatlon, so far as con cerned the pinspcrlty of tho country, and electing Mr Cleveland on tho most cx ticme anti-protection declaration ever mado by m ) American part). Mr. Cleve land's platform even denounced protec tion as unconstitutional. Wo do not need to recall tho dismal and disgraceful record of his administration, except to say thut, In spito of Its professions, tho Democratic party passed a Btrlctly and avowedly protective turlff, but so bunsllngly con structcd that It brought disaster to overy business Interest. Mr. Cleveland went out of power amid tho ruin of tho Indiu try and enterprise of tho country. o In ISM tho Dcmocratlo patty Itsolf turned a complete eomersault. It Hung oft from its shoulders all responsibility for tho Clove luidi administration, and took a now nnd radical elcparturo on tho questions of curiency and judicial author ity, which forthwith plunged the country Into even worso dlsttess. After u cam paign of unexampled earnestness, during whldh nil property was terrified as novor before in American history, Mr. McKln ley was eU-ctod by n vote of about 7,100, 000 to 0,500,000 for Bryan. Thus we es caped ruin, but it was a. oloso shave. Dur ing that campaign the Mugwumps' terror kept thorn In lino with tho Republican party. In order to savo their property they could do nothing clso; but as soon as tho Republicans wero proved Hucceasi ful in tho election they began to plot anew; against party organization, and thoy havo been plotting ever elnce. Meanttmo It was dinionetrat&d that tho dostruotlvo principles of tho Chicago plat fuim had bocoino tho established poll Uj.iI fnlth of the Domocratlc party through out the Union, nmi that accordingly thoy cniitlimod as t mennco to business and uvvii tho stability of our aoclal system. Tho political revolution that platform sought to produce was rtlll nggresslvo and threatening, nnd It took ndvnntngo of the elections of last week to strengthen and extend its lines with an cyo to gaining control of tho congress In 1S9S and the presidency In 1900. Naturally and cbViously the placo whero resistanco to that asrault should have been most determined was New York, for tho menaoo Is moro especially against tho conservatlvo Interests of this great center of American wealth nnd civiliza tion. Lst year, accordingly, they united In giving a majority against Mr. Bryan and Taimmany Ilnll, his representative. This year, however, Mugwumpery Inter vened with Its old tricks. It pretended thnt Bryanlsm lir.tl nothing to do with the campaign, nnd that tho only Issuo was what It called "bosslsm." In other words Its objective! was tho jwirty organization of tho Republicans, tho only party through which any contest against Bry anlsm can bo wagel now or nt any time hereafter until It has been crushed ab solutely; for nothing Is moro obvious than that tho Chicago platform Is to be the continuing standard of tho Democratic party. As a conscnuonco of this Mug wump deviltry. Bryanlsm has won a great victory In this city and state, whero It was defeated so roundly only a year ago. Tho Mugwumps, too, havo galnd a largo force of recruits from Republi cans who hnd before remained with their party. Tho Now York Tribune Is no long er of political importance, and henco Its complcto surrender to Mugwumpery Is not a matter of much significance, but tho largo reduction In the pcreentago of tho Republican vote under tho distraction of tho Low candidacy, whoso prime and obvious purpose was the elfacemcnt of that partv and tho disintegration of that organization, Is a serious matter. Expe rience Indicates that tho Mugwump mania Is progressive and that those afillctcd by It In its more acute form becomo perma nent political perverts and apostates whoso madness leads them to strike most v Iclously at tho party they havo deserted. o What does nil this suggest? Does it not portend a sweeping triumph for Bryanlsm next year and In 1000, another complete political topsy-turvy, more mercurial poli tics, renewed and increased danger to our business and financial interests, and tho strengthening of tho foreign Impiesslon that tho American peoplo aro without po litical stability? The sinister result of tho New York election, however, was the work of tho conservative element of the community. It only was fickle. Tam many held Its Brynnito voto of last year substantially intact, but tho great major ity of tho McKlnley voto turned squaro about and gavo tho city and state to Bry anlsm, though as tho election returns proved, und us was manifest from tho first, it could havo put tho Republican party In power and manifested to all tho world tho strength of Its political princi ples. ' o These peoplo are now perplexed and anxious; but they invited tho trouble which has come upon them, und they de servo It. They havo reaped tho inevit nblo fruits of their folly and madness. They had tho opportunity to put this great community and this great state o emphatically on the side of conservative stability that its reputation for sobriety of judgment would havo been enhanced throughout tho world, but they set to work to strike down tho only party on which they could depend as the champion of their welfaie. How can they avoid tho harvest of evil consequences for which their folly towed tho seed? How can they prevent tho doleful returns of their wild Investment in tho Low enterprise? Thiy must resumo and continue their alle giance to tho party which saved them from last year. They must repudiate the devices of political guerillas to divert them from It. THAT STREET CAR PROJECT. "Woutcr Van Twlller" In the Wllkcs- Barro Record. You all remember tho Christian En deavor convention which was held re cently in tho city of Scranton, and how hospitably the visiting delegates wero en tertained by tho local Endeavorers. An echo of that convention was heard in somo of tho Scranton churches Sunday. It appears that when tho Scranton union cast up accounts at tho closo of tho con vention It found Itself In debt about $JO0. Various plans vvcro proposed to pa J off this debt, but tho ono that found most favor among tho young people was that a trolley day be set upatt, the )oung la dles acting as conductors on all tho cirs and taking tho fares, which tho tractlm company agreed to elonate. The young la. dies In their anxiety to help tho union readily agreed to tho proposition and it was expected that a nice sum would bo realized. But the pastors entered a most emphatic piotcst. Ono of tho pastors, Rev. Dr. Dixon, went so far as to advlso his congregation to withhold their pation ago if tho proposed plan were carried out. Ho said it would bo wrong to ex pose tho young women to possible Insult by putting them In charge ot tho cars; that It would in a measure unsex them and that tho sum needed could bo cosily raised by an assessment of from 5 to 10 cents ahong tho 0,000 members of tho union in tho city. This is tho position taken by nearly every pas. tor In the city. o Of course, there may bo thoso who will feel that tho pastors are a Uttlo bovere, but it is certain that thy nave taken tho proper course. There Is little doubt that tho scheme, which has been tried in other cities, would bo a financial success. But theie aro old-fashioned Christians who believe that It is better to bo in debt than to send their daughters out on such a mission. A street car is a promiscuous sort of place oven under ordinary circum stances But if it became Known that )oung ladles would collect the fares on any one day, tho cars would bo filled with a curious, perhaps a ribald throng, and the young ladles would doubtless discover beforo tho day was uono that they had paid too high a prico for their success. o I confess that I llko old-fashioned Christianity better than tho fin do siecle brand, and am pleased to see that the Scranton pastors stand up for It. Old fashioned Christianity does not barter any of its principles for worldly gain. It does not recognize many of tho modern methods by which well-meaning but mis taken pcoplo seek to advance tho mntcrlnl Interests of their churches. It sets Its face against any ami all schemes by which tho moral infiuenco of Its teachings may bo weakened. It holds fast to tho great truth that the conscientious teach ers ot God's gospel should be decently supported, and temples for dlvluo wor ship erected and maintained by tho volun tary contributions of tho people. Old fashioned Christians would profcr con tinuous poverty to affluence acquired by methods not in touch with its teachings. Thereforo I venturo to ray that tho Scran. ton pastors are entitled to credit for their disapproval of tho well-meant but Ill-considered plans of the, young people of their churches. Tho society of Chris tian Endeavor Is ono of tho strongest as well ns one of tho best of tho many church organizations, It has done splen did work among tho ) oung peoplo and has earned tho highest respect of all who sympathize with earnest Christian work. It Is a poworful auxiliary to tho various diuretics to which tho organization is allied. Its Infiuenco for good can hardly bo overestimated. It should do nothing to weaken that Influence, no matter how worthy tho motives whtoh actuato its members. WUiL IJKNNETT'S DECISION STAND J Fiom tho Wllkcs-Barre Record.
