Tlie Mnyor's Message.
AVhlle the message ot the mayor sub
mltted to councils last evening con
tains no new thoughts. It Is neverthe
less a well-drawn repetition of needed
counsel.
Tho modest claim that "when the
number of Its policemen and Its area
nnd population are considered together,
Scranton shows forth as the best gov
erned city and the freest from, crime
and dlsoider In the nation" may not be
accepted unreservedly, but It cannot be
disputed that the city's police foice Is
too small. It Indeed Is "false econ
omy" to stint our growing city In the
machinery required for the adequate
ptotectlon of Its citizens. This applies
ns well to the lire department as to the
police.
The mayoi's temutks touching the
Inodequacy of the appropriations now
made for street cleaning and the han
dicap which this puts upon the city's
b.mltary condition and general appear
ance can be endorsed without qualifica
tion. Good as Is the present manage
ment of this department It Is practic
ally powerless by leason of lack of
funds to do what every sensible citi
zen knows should be done to cleanse
and Improve thu public thoroughfares.
In the matter of a new bond Issue
the suggestion that councils await the
result of the operation of the new as
sessment Is undoubtedly wise. That a
new bond Issue may become necessary
In the course of time Is a fact pretty
generally conceded, byt It would ob
viously bo unbusinesslike to push It
before there was a clear understand
ing of tho revenue possibilities of the
revised assessment. Park Improve
ments, too, desirable at they would be,
can be deferred until the absolute dally
necessities of the city are properly pro
vided for.
The monetary commission recom
mends a re-affirmation that the United
States favors the gold standard. It
can have its way If it will carry next
fall's election and control the presi
dency In 1900.
The Ohio Fight.
There Is one phase of the Ohio sena
torial fight -which It seems to us ought
to be better understood That is its
bearing upon the national administra
tion and upon Republicanism gener
ally. To begin with, It Is necessary to un
deistand that the feeling against Mark
Ilanna In Ohio is not confined to the
politicians who have been embltteied
against him. It exists In measur
able degree from lake to liver
among the masses, and .especially
among the farmers and the members
of the labor organizations. It existed
before Mr. Ilanna became a national
character, but It has naturally been in
tensified since his appearance in the
national arena as the Warwick ot the
present admlnlsttatlon. The victory
won by Mr. Ilanna In tho legislative
districts was a vlctoiv of skilled or
ganizers rather than an expression of
spontaneous sentiment. "We are not
saying that this feeling of antagon
ism to Mr. Ilanna is wholly justi
fied nor that it lias not been fanned
by personal or political enemies. "We
nre simply considering the facts as
they appear.
This feeling prevails also in Wash
ington. Mr. Hanna by nature is
positive, energetic, self-confident and
not at all given to conciliation. He
has been credited with a proprietary In
terest in the administration, and while
this idea insults the president, yet Mr.
Hanna's attitude and manners have
not tended to allay It. The none too
considerate political dhuftle which sent
Senator Shejman Into the cabinet to
provide Mr. Hanna with a place to his
liking, did not add to Mr. Hanna's
popularity. To some it looked as
though he were inclined to exact divi
dends from his political Investments In
William McKlnley; and while in poll
tics this sort of thing Is not uncommon
It Jarred upon the sensitiveness ot that
element in Ohio -which consldeted that
the president of the United States
should not be put in an embarrassing
position.
All thase things, however, were
known prior to the legislative pilmar
ies. The place to settle with' Ilanna
was when he was a candidate before
the people. All considerations of polit
ical honor called for an open Inttle,
with colors up and issues oleaily
drawn, at a time when the people
could intelligently decide. The falluie
of the Kuitz-Uushnell combine to ac
cept the gage ot battla when thus
offered and their subsequent ambush
ing of Mr. Hanna after his regular and
ui opposed Indorsement In convention
fairly deprive them of sympathy and
bring to Mr. Hanna's cause a suppoit
fiom believers In fair play which he
might not have been able to command
had the attack upon him been made in
a btralghtfojwurd, manly manner. As
the Philadelphia Presi titil) sajs upon
this point:
"One of the strangest suppotts ot
ftee government is the tiust men have

in lesponse to criticisms which have
been passed upon the president's ex
eiclse of the pardoning power the
statement In made by authority that
In the first ten months of his admin
istration, he extended executive clem
ency to only 97 persons, as compared
with 220 pardons issued during the cor
responding period of the Cleveland ad
ministration. In every Instance Pie.sl
dent McKlnley has acted upon the rec
ommendation of the trial judge and
the dlsttlct attorney connected with
tlie piosecutlon, and after Independ
ent Investigation. It Is not likely that
seilous censure can follow such a
course.
Look to the Primaries.
We understand theie Is some fear
among the Republicans ot Luzerne
county that an attempt -will be made
by certain Influences to sccuie tlie'elec
tlon In that county of delegates to the
state convention who, while pledged
to support Mr. Lelsenrlng for gover
nor on a complimentary ballot if his
name shall so before the convention,
will In leallty hold together In the mat
ter of second choice with a view to de
livering themselves to tho highest bid
der. Indeed, It is intimated that a
piogramme has alieady been arranged
Involving a piospectlve deal with Sen
ator Andrews In behalf of Colonel
Stone, who seems to figure In most
politicians' minds as the likeliest man
with whom to open "practical" nego
tiations at this time.
For the truth of these rumois we do
not vouch, nor would we mention them
at all were the known facts as to how
the Stone campaign has been run to
date such as to inspire confidence In
Its management. But whether this re
port be true or false, It In any event
behooves the intelligent Republicanism
of Luzerno county to make Itself felt
at the coming primaries. The fact that
these primaries have been called
months earlier than there was any
necessity for Is a challenge to decent
Republicans which should promptly be
accepted. It Is only fair to Mr. Lels
enrlng, the county's choice for guber
natorial honors, that the men sent to
present his candidacy to the conven
tion should be among the best and
cleanest Republicans In the county. He
cannot afford and the county cannot
afford to permit banners to be carried
to Harrlsburg by a coterie ot political
traders who would sell them to the
enemy the minute they got the chance.
The lesson taught by the lecent sena
torial fight should be sufficient to In
duce the clean-minded and clean-handed
element in the county to Insist upon
the choice for this next trust of men
who can be ttusted Any other course
would carry the lesponsiblllty for Jug
glery or lllm-flam work at Harrlsburg
on June 2 past the immediate instru
ments of it and back to the doots of
the respectable citizens who sat still
while the rlngsteis were manipulating
the prlmailes to suit themselves.
In saying these plain woids we In
tend to aim them whrever they will
apply. Our Information as to the con
ditions in Luzerne may be Incorrect,
and it so no harm is done. Hut what
needs especially to be Insisted upon
throughout the commonwealth is a
free, fair and open race for the honors
within the gift of the party this year.
There Is likely to be trouble enough at
best; trouble incurred needlessly by
underhanded methods would constitute
a crime.
On Thursday, Dec. 20, the San Fran
cisco Chronicle issued a twenty-four
page Klondike edition, devoted mainly
to a description of routes and to a gen
eral exploitation of the new gold region.
As an Illustration of journalistic enter
prise this edition stands out prominent
ly and creditably. It could be wished,
however, that moie effort were put
forth by the newspapeis to check the
mad rush to Alaska and less to acceler

According to the official report Issued
by the Bishop of Havana, since the

misrule was Issued on Christmas Day,
nearly a foitnlght ago, jet only a little
over $7,000 has been subset Ibed, ot
which Secretniy Bliss contributed $3,000
in a. lump sum. "The slowness with
which these popular contributions have

Heiald, a Journal close to tlie admin

that the jingo statesmen who are so

have not yet succeeded In convincing
their own potketbooks of the necessity

to shout for Cuba than It Is to feed a

No IIIWiII for
British Kinsmen
From tho Philadelphia Ledger.
THE LONDON TIMES, 111 its com
prehensive review of tho events c
the lear pjbt, epitomizes the in
ternal history of the United States
In the manner following: "The
passage of the Dlngley Tariff bill, the tri
umph of Tammany Hall and the steady
giivvth of a debit e for a stiong navy. Tho
latter agitation finds Its excuse in Cuba
and Hawaii, but tlie more vehement r.d
vocatcs of the new policy make no secret
that It is ngalnst Englund and not l-'oi.ln
or Japan that the main effoit Is to ha dl.
rected." During lecent jears, though
often bluntly und brusquely critical ot
American men and affairs, the Times has
exhibited no radically unfriendly leeling
toward us; that great exponent of British
pcllcy nnd sentiment has, upon occaMcns,
actually evinced a dlsoosltion, after a
scmevvhat clumsv fash'on, to bo concilia
toiy, if not cordial, In its treatment of
tills country, its people and their policies.
Tho suggestion of the Times that the
Ameilcan desire for n stiong navy is In
spired by antagonistic feeling for Eng
land, and that our iron-clad llejti, when
achieved, are to be used, not ogalt.st
Spain or Japan, but against that coun
try. Is about ns wrong as the -wrongest-lit
aded Englishman's suspicion could well
be.
Common sensible, wclMnfoimcd Ameri
cans will regiet to perceive that any
such Idea haunts tho British mind. All
such Americans know that it Is an un
founded suspicion, and vet th"y will
readily understand that It Is ono which Is
not unnatuinlly entertained by English
men. Americans mav be justified In look
ing askance at England, without going
back to find cuuse enough for distrust,
or for possible dislike of her, in the
Declaration of Independence, In the War
o" 1S12, or in tho piolonged hti urate for

strife, and that passed when Lotd Salis

Ameilcan claim for the recognition by
England ot our unulteiable national faith

Friction theie has undoubtedly beau
dutlng recent yeatt. between England und
theUnlted States, and oniultmcs It bus
been serious, but It was caused by Cana
dian rather than by English aggression.
There has ben little or no menace of war
In It. Arbitration has been all sufficient
to remove thut danger, but It would bo ns
foolish as Insincere to say that latterly
American sentiment for England has beon
as cordial as It should be. That It has
been, and that it now is, otherwise is
due, however, in Its origin to tho un
friendly and unuelghborly conduct of
Canada, and, later, to England's unfailing
support of her rolony Cauuda hus been
offenslvo and aggressive In Its American
policy, and England has approved of
-whatever und all that the Dominion has
either said or done to give offence or be
get strife.
Thero are many leunons why the
Mother Country should not have upheld
the Dominion In the pelagic destruction of
the seals. Not only Justice nnd wisdom,
but humanity demanded that pelagic
sealing should ceaf.e. As Canada would
not recognize the potency of any of these
claims England also refused t6 recognizti
thorn, upon thn ground, evidently, that
whatever Canada did wns right. Ameri
cans have believed, nnd do still believe,
that In this m Uter England has not
shown a itenerous, oven a fair spirit of
uelghborltness or frU'iidllhcwi toward us.
On the contrary, It Is believed that file
has shown a spirit not only unnelghbony
and unfriendly but selfish nnd sordid. If
there has been durlrg recent years, apart
from tho Venezuela affair, cause for
Amerlclm Ill-will or lack of cordial feel
ing toward England, it wilt be generally
contended on this sldo of the Atlantic
that Canadian policy, approved by the
Mother Country, Is alone lesponslble.
The antagonistic purt that English
statesmen In office, and Englishmen In
and out of olllce, played against us when
the nation was engaged In a desperate
btruggle for IU very existence, was
plajed long ago. England's unjustifiable
thrusting upon us of the war ot 1812 hap
pened still longer ago, and her wur
against American Independence Is alto
gether too remoto to hnvo left behind any
real resentment. The Colonies fought
und won, and, winning, wero content to
have no other memory of tho quarrel
than that, and the supreme Justness und
heroism of It.
The truth is that Americans deprecate
strained lelatlons with England; not only
have they no purpose to build a strong
navy with whlrh to wage war against
her, but they desire only tho most pcace
lul and cordial relations with her. That
-England reciprocates tho really friendly
teellngs of the great Intelligent masses of
this country for her, or the very common
desire that there shall bo only friendly
lelatlons between the two nations, Is ex
tremely doubtful. When Canada by Its
aggressive and overbearing conduct and
manner has taken advantage of our for
bearance and good-natured toleration,
England has promptly supported her
province in Its III doing; and, hence,
American anger has often been aroused
and the warmth of American sentiment
chilled. Whatever the mutual relations
of tho two countries are, or whatever
American feeling toward England may
be, they will not be Improved by England
upholding Canadian aggressiveness, Can
adian piracy among our seal herds, Can
adian commercial discriminations und
acts of general unfriendliness and un
nelghborllness. Indeed, If the United
States shall ever desire a strong navv to
send against that of England tho wish
will have Its origin and development not
in England's, but in Canada's offences.
MAJOR PENMAN'S APPOINTMENT.
Washington Dispatch, Philadelphia Rec
ord. Congressman Connell's Influenco with
Seiihtoi Quay Is generally behoved to bo
nllogtther responsible for the surprise
which was given Pennsylvanlans today
by the nomination of former Congress
man Fred C. Leonard, of Potter county,
for the marshalshlp of tho Western dis
trict of Pennsylvania, and the nomination
of Mujor T. r. Penman, of Scranton, for
tlu Internal revenue collectorship of the
Twelfth district. Mr. Leonard had been
slated for the collectorship by Senator
Quay, but Congressman Connell got heto
las; night, nccompanled by his own can
didate for that place, Major Penman, and
at onco sought an Interview with the sen
ator. The congressman urged very
strongly the claims of Major Penman
for the collectorship, and told the sen
ator that if he did not get it he would
not have the congressman's support for
the marshalshlp, which was understood
Senator Quay was inclined to give him,
because Mr. Connell had promised to
back for that place Chairman Thomas, of
the Lackawanna County Republican com
mittee. As Major Penman Is an old
friend ot Senator Quay and the latter
wanted to take care of him the senator
decided that tlie easlett way out of tho
dilemma was to give him the place Con
gtcssman Connell had indorsed him for
and switch Mr. Leonard to the marshal
ship, which he originally applied for.
This arrangement was made and tho
nomination went In today accordingly.
o
From the Scranton Times.
The appointment of Major Penman
shows beyond question that Mr. Con
nell has much Influenco with the powers
that bo at Washington. To secure tho
second appointment of a Scrantonlan
and of the same man for collector Is no
small victory. In the two Democratic
administrations under the rule of Harrity
and John B. Storm we did not succeed
in having a collector appointed from
Scranton. Tho first collector came from
Stroudsburg und the second, who aban
doned tho party and went to the goldites
ls.it Fall, camo from moomsourg. Tnero
is no doubt of the competency of Major
Penman to perform the duties of the of
fice to which he has been chosen.
o
1 roni the Wllkes-Barro News-Dealer.
When thero Is anything good going
Scv.mton is always sure to get it. Now
hero they carry off the internal revenue
collectorship again. This Is tho second
tlmo they have got it within eight years.
It would only havo been fair had Wilkes
Barre secured tho prize this year, but
alas, it was not to be our good fortune.
It the man from Coudersport or some
other back woods district had only cur
ried oft tho prize our feelings would not
have, been hurt so bad.
o
From the Scranton Truth.
Major T. F. Penman's appointment as
collector of Internal revenue for this dis
trict fills an important office with a com
petent official. The appointment Is a
good one from every point of view.
