lTi:nED AT THE roSTOFFICR AT SPItANTON,
I' A., AH SECOXIVCLAKM MAIL MATTER,
TEN PAGES.
SCUANTON. MARCH 11, 1S0S.
Mr. Wnnnmnkcf proposes to lie his
own mutineer In the coming season of
amusement. Uncle John's former ex
perience In "the hands of his friends"
doubtless has prompted him to arrange
for a more economical llnlsh.
Wnnamakcr.
Mr. Wnnamaker'fl letter accepting
the call to lead unother an antl-Quny
revolt Is the war cry of a fighter. It
will win for him the respect which Is
always commanded by pluck and dar
ing. Wo are not enamored of Mr.
Wanamakor's political methods nor
have we been convinced that If his
ambition to succeed Senator Quay as
the Bo-called "boss" of Pennsylvania
Itepubllcan politics should be gratified
there would come any appreciable bet
terment In the general conditions un
der which u large number of voters In
this commonwealth are growing rest
less. His hiiceess might tickle the de
sire for novelty but thnt It would be
followed by substantial abatement of
odious conditions tines not seem predlc
nble either upon the character of the
man or upon the nature of His sur
roundings. At the same time It were useless to
disguise the patent fact that with so
resoutceful and determined a man us
John Wunamaker In the field as u
trouble-maker the need of prudence In
doubled. We doubt if the Republican
party In Pennsylvania is In condition
to endure nnother factional struggle
similar to that which preceded the
election of Senator Penrose. We con
cur In the opinion of the Pittsburg
Dispatch thnt "the people want some
thing more in a candidate for gover
nor than an understanding that he will
be favorable to one boss, or that he
will be opiosed to another. They want
ji man who Is not identified with cither
faction, who will administer the duties
of his ofllce fearlessly nnd honestly;
who cannot be cajoled and who cannot
te frightened. If they are nllowed to
select such a man from among the
Itepubllcan candidates, without Inter
ference from the bosses, they will
probably elect him. If not, they can
look to the Democracy, to the Inde
pendent party, or to some other source
that will produce such u candidate.
A nomination Is not equivalent to an
election."
It remains to bo seen how those
who essay to marshal the Itepubllcan
forces In this elate will proceed to
prepare for the emergency. Thelr's is
the responsibility; let thelr's, therefore,
be the nctlon.
-
The yellow journals probably have
more respect for the courts of Luzerne
than they did a few weeks ago.whether
they cherish u feeling of admiration or
not.
The Verdict's Reception.
It is creditable to the good judgment
of the American people that the ver
dict In the Martin trial Is everywhere
received by them sanely and with quick
appreciation of Its fnr-reachlng Im
portance. The few excerpts which we
reproduce elsewhere from representa
tive journals voice the utmost unani
mous opinion of approval. No one haa
dared to say that the trial at Wllkes
Harre was unfair or the conclusion of
it unjust. Kven damogoglsm stands
for the moment abashed and ashamed.
And yet. while upholding, as every
honest citizen must, the regularly con
Flituteil authoiltles whose first reward
f-if the resolute performance of an un
vtlcnme duty was an Indictment for
murder, It Is yet consistent with exact
justice to je-express the sympathy of
the nation for the Iattimer unfortu
nates, whose Ignorance and had teach
ing led them through sedltlun to aw
ful but necessary naerlllce. Against
these men there has been no vlndlc
tlveness. On the contrary the feeling
for them at the time of their death
Mas pity and It Is pity still. They were
the children of a vicious environment.
T'erndtted to come Into a country of
freedom without comprehension of or
pieparatlon for freedom's responsibil
ities; after their coming, treated as
outcasts and left as open prey for harp
lcr and demagogues, their blame Is
) cully the blame of the society about
them a society which boasted of Its
civilization yet tolerated within ensy
Mew great plague spots of semi-savagery.
Let us get nt the bottom of this
grim tragedy. Tho acquittal of Martin,
e. ul teaches the wholesome lesson
that law In Pennsylvania must reign
supreme; that ho who defies It does so
at his perjl. Hut tho verdict of the
Jury does not acquit the Christian men
and women of Luzerne and Lackawan
na counties who, during the years that
Lattlmcrs have been growing up about
them, have sent mouey and prayers to
tho heathen of Asia, Africa and New
Zealand but have lifted not a finger
to Americanize and Christianize the
alien heathen at home. In the eyes of
the law the Lattlmer Incident Is closed;
In the eyes of humanity, of morals, of
religion, It haa only just begun,
m
A good many persons have been agi
tated recently by the appearance of a
beautiful bright star In the eastern
horizon during tho past few days about
8 o'clock In tho evening. Some have
been of the opinion that It Is the Star
of Ilethlehem. Others say that the new
star means war. According to the nl
inanacs, Jupiter Is due in the eastern
skies this month at about that time,
and tho bright star referred to Is prob
ably tho benign planet. As there Is no
rea'soii "why' Jupiter should provoke
wa,r"'hlH"yphV nny rnruo' than at any
other time, timid persons tiro advised
to lose no sleep on account of tho bril
liant star thnt twinkles In the eastern
skies.
In the opinion of Hon. Johnny Car
man the acquittal of Sheriff Martin
"proves nothing except that hereafter
In Luzerne county laboring men may
be shot down like dogs without a hope
of redress." Surely It Is not as bad as
that. Laboring men or other men who
undertake to do away with law and
order and put Instend a reign of terror
mny hereafter, as heretofore, expect
trouble, because even In these free
United States there arc some limits
beyond which lawlessness and mob vio
lence mny not pass. Hut those who get
shot down In the mlstnken work of
spreading nnnrchy nnd sedition may tie
consoled with one sweet hope. So long
as breath remains In the lungs nnd a
foe In the hands of Johnny Mellifluous
Onrman tho welkin will re-echo with
hot and yellow sounds, nnd tho hust
ings will detonnte with dcmagoglsm.
Qomsz on the Maine's Fate.
To n correspondent of the New York
Sun who In the latter part nf Fcbrunry
Informed him of tho destruction of the
Maine, CJcneral Maximo Gomez, nfter
expressing his sympathy nnd asking
that It be conveyed to the American
people, said:
"I am not surprised at tho general
belief in Cuba thnt a new crime has
been committed by Spain. We know
tx well what Spain Is capable of doing
to destroy a foe. A people capable nf
sending to Cuba as captnln-general nt
the end of the nineteenth century such I
.1 man as Weyler nnd of honoring him !
after his criminal deeds ns a nationnl i
hero Is capable of anything. It would '
not shrink lrom the Idea of massacring
L'OO American sailors In the harbor of
Havana, after it had killed by starva
tion 200,000 defenceless women, children,
nnd old men, and had exterminated
400,000 more non-combatants by flro
nnd sword or by tho utter destruction
of their homes nnd the Inhuman
spreading of famine. More even than
tliat, It cannot have any pity for the
fate of 200 American sailors, regarded
by Spain, with cr without reason, ns
her enemies, when It has had no riltv
for Its own 200,000 soldiers, poor nnd
Ignorant Spanish peasants, driven from
their homes In Spain by u proud, rap-
acinus, and murderous government, and
sent to certain death In Cuba from the
bullets of a hostile army and the rav
ages of a hostile climate, In a vain at
tempt to conquer a country which Is
fighting for Its freedom.
"I cannot avoid the sad reflection
that If my letters, nddressed to Presi
dent Cleveland and to President Mc
Klnley, and the reports of the Cuban
trovernment to tho American govern
ment through our representative,
Tomas Estrada Palma, had been heed
ed by the United States, that nation
would not have suffered the loss of
$300,000,000 of Cuban commerce, the
constant annoyance due to tho danger
of foreign complications and the pres
ent loss of Its cherished sailors and of
one of Its best men of war, besides
all the troubles that, mny result from
this terrible Incident; and Cuba, poor
Cuba, the heroic Island that Is fighting
alone, without resources, without navy,
against n European power, would not
have been the prey of a Weyler and
now the victim of the hypocrisy of a
JJlanco. One of the saddest disap
pointments of my life Is the knowledge
that there are in the United States per
sons who believe that our just repre
sentations, asking only for the recogni
tion which we have tho right to re
quest, were mude for the purpose of In
volving the United States In a war
with Spain because we could not cope
alone with the Spaniards. We had
fought the Spaniards ten years. Now
we have been lighting them three years
more, and no honest man can doubt
after what we have done that we are
resolved to die rather than surrender.
I have been thirteen years In the sad
dle, and Spain has sent against me,
across the Atlantic, 400,000 men. I have
needed no help to do that much, for
with me were the 40,000 Cubans who
died in the last war, and today the
whole Cuban army Is ready to die for
the principle we maintain. It is a
gross Injustice, therefore, to charge us
with hypocritical and dissembled inten
tions when we ask the great nation of
Washington to grunt us the same
rights they give to Spain, and not to
use against us and in favor of Spain
their navy and police."
There are few Americans who do not
share these opinions. Hut the past
cannot how be recalled. Only the fu
ture remains. That Is bright with the
promise of speedy liberation for Cuba.
It If said that the Women's Christian
Temperance Union has discovered the
presence of true alcohol In root beer,
nnd proclaims that tho fluid when tak
en Into the system produces alcoholic
uensatlons. This announcement will
probably cause many persons to take
an Interest In root beer who have hith
erto preferred "bock" as a spring med
icine. -
With the cessation of hostilities the
war correspondent can very gracefully
turn to the conventional springtime
snake story It this weather continues,
Detween the howling mnh at home
and tho smoking yollow press abroad
the position of tho Spanish government
Is not one to create envy.

Opinions on the
Laffiirter U?rdicf.
Tho verdict of acquittal rendered by tho
Jury that tins been sitting In Judgment on
tho case of Sheriff Martin nnd his depu
ties Is a triumph for cider nnd civiliza
tion. A divided Jury would havo been u
mlsfortunn nnd nn adverse verdict nn un
speak.tblo calamity. Sheriffs who do their
duty In times of public disorder and riot
uro unhnpplly ruro In Pennsylvania,
whllo In many states of the Union they
seem to havo no existence. If In tho In
frequent Instnnccs when n sheriff meets
the crisis bravely, meets force with forco
and maintains tho peaco even at the prlco
of blood, he nnd his deputies are to be
first hountlcd as outlaws and then brand
ed as felons by duo process of law, riot
ers will have their own way unchecked
thereafter. SherlfTs cannot bo expected
to do their duty In an emergency If tho
best reward they can look fur In so doing
Is the gallows, or nt tho lcuBt tho peni
tentiary. Instead of nn Indict
ment Sheriff Martin has deserved a mon
ument. If wo had ii few more such sher
iffs In the counties where nn nllen nnd
ignorant population misunderstand tho
meaning of liberty nnd tho absences of
soldiery, wo might give our National
Guard a rest. It Is summoned now at
great expense to tho slato at every dis
turbance In tho coal nnd coko counties
because sheriffs nro timid nnd will not In
voke tho nld of nn firmed and ndequato
posse comltntus to preserve tho peace.
Sheriff Murtln has shown other sheriffs
tho wuy to preservo order. Ho was not
husty. Ho encountered the mob half a
dozen times beforo the fatal collision took
place. Knch time ho sought to disperse
it without violence, and at Lattlmer,
when tho mob refused to obey his orders
to disperse, he boldly arrested tho fore
most lloter. It wns then ho was set upon
by tho mob and his deputies, not being
dummies but men of courage and Intelli
gence, discharged their duty ns they un
derstood It, und without special orders de
fended their chief In most effective fash
ion. There uro some graves in Lattlmer
In consequence of this act, but thero Is
order there. For the unfortunate victims
of their own Ignoranco and folly nnd for
their perhaps still more unfortunate fam
ilies we linvo only pity and regret. Hut
tho sncrlflco was neccssaiy; the lesson
had to bo Icarmd; tho price to be puld.
The law once more Is supremo in Luzerne
county nnd Sheriff Martin nnd his depu
ties nro righteously vindicated by the
verdict nf n Jury of tho vicinage. Phila
delphia Press.
o
It must now bo fairly understood even
by those who do not seek to understand
our language or Its laws, that tho hum
blest citizen or resident of tho common
wealth must be protected In his Inalln
able right to employ or to bo employed ns
ho may choose for himself, und that he
who attempts, by Intimidation or coercion
involving violence, to Interfere with
ilmt right becomes himself answer
able to tho law for his crime, nnd
must be punished If brought Into a court
where Justice Is Judicially administered.
Tho lesson of this verdict in the Lattl
mer caso is not that the rich nro to bu
protected, but that tho poor nnd defense,
less shall have absolute guarantee) of all
their Individual rights, and that those
who attempt to Impair them by lawless,
ness must answer to tho law us criminal.!
The verdict Is Important to all, but
above all it I important to those who.su
labor Is their sole dependence for liveli
hood, and whoso homes and families and
Individual rights aro to be protected by
placing every citizen or resident, high or
low, rich or poor, on the broad basis of
absolute Independence In their employ
meat, regurdlcss of the Interests or orders
of others. It Is the law that tho poor
need, and Its declaration In the solemn'
verdict In the Lattlmer case Is moat
timely, und must be strongly effective in
giving to citizen nnd alien who depend
upon their labor for their bread, the en.
Joyinent of nil the Inalienable rights of
American citizens.-Phllndelphla Times.
o
It can never be truthfully ulleged that
this trial was not fairly nnd impartially
conducted. Kvery particle of evidence
presented by the prosecution that could
properly be admitted was allowed to go
to the Jury. Tho prosecution was repre
sented by able counsel who nvnllcd them
selves of every ndvnntuge within their
reuch. They made out as strong a case
us was possible under tho cireumstnnces,
but were unable to convince either the
jury or tho great unprejudiced public that
Sheriff Martin und his deputies had com
mitted a wanton crlmo for which they
should be punished, and the verdict of tho
Jury will thereforo command the ap
proval of right-minded and thoughtful
men. Tho verdict ivill not be without
a wholesome effect and may be, Indi
rectly, the means of restraining law
lessness und preventing bloodshed in
the future. It teaches the needed les
son that there is a civil power that
must be obeyed und respected, Wilkes
Burro Record.
o
Tho events In the Ilazleton region,
culminating In tho Lattlmer tragedy,
were practically a continuous series of
riotous demonstrations, as appears
from the evidence at the Martin trial.
If the sheriff of the vicinage had neg
lected to notice tho lawless proceedings,
which were dally terrorizing the commun
ity und giving pause to peaceful indus
try, he would have been strangely neg
lectful of his duty. There wns only ono
way to stop tho riotous demonstrations
and to end tho reign of terror, nnd that
was by the exercise of the most vigorous
authority. The Wllkes-llarro jury say.
by their well considered verdict, that
Sheriff Martin and his deputies did no
more than they wero lawfully authorized
to do ut Lattlmer. Tho right to labor Is
protected by the outcome, of this tllal,
und much has been gained for the cause
of law and order. Philadelphia Ledger.
o
Ily peace loving citizens and true Amer
icans this veidlct will be approved with
out reservation. It Is an assurance that
tho sanctity of tho homo will be respect
ed, that tho safety of citizens Is regarded
us paramount, and thnt riot, disorder,
rapine and fr,.cturo of tho body politic no
matter how cunningly perpetrated, will
bo repudiated, and tho mandates of a
