REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS.

First Dlstriet-JulIN 11. FARlt.
It is to lie Import tlmt Dr. Swallow's
nomination Ins had nothing to do with
thy piescnt spell of wet weather.
Representative Parr Renominated
'I'hc unanimous ro-iiomlnntlon yes
terday tendered to lleprr senUtlve Fnrr
ly the Itopu'hlleans of the First Legis
lative district was a compliment richly
dow-rced. ami It Is significant as point
ing to that unity of which the party
generally stands so much in need. For
the first tlnii In years tho convention
was entirely liarmonlous and this is as
it should ho.
Mr. Fair, through long experience,
intelligent ncthlty and persistence in
pushing for legislative results of bene
llt to his district and to the common
wealth at lame, has won a place of
prominence nt Harrlsburg which adds
materially to the public value of his
services. His re-election Is assured.
It is estimated by experts that the
war with Spain will cause at least
$7G.00rt,C0O to remain in the United
States tills summer which would other
wise have been carried to Europe and
expended there bv Ameilcnn tourists.
Ar.d after all, this countiy isn't a bad
fcunimor resoit.
The Speakeasies Again.
T. H. C. Maloney, as reported In The
Tribune, has sworn out a number of
warrants against the reputed propri
etors of speakeasies In tho North Knd
of tho city. We cannot congratulate
society on the work of this crusader in
tlio cause of temperance and morality.
As a common Informer he has been be
fore the courts already and mnde such
an exhibition of himself that the grand
Jury throw out many of tho Indictments
in which he had llled Information, and
of course those cases In which he was
listed to appear as principal witness
for the prosecution were at onee set
nslde. This Is a very serious matter
indeed. If Indictments "against the
pence nnd dlgn'ly of thu common
wealth" are thus subjected to public
ridicule, and contempt on one occasion,
what guarantee have we that the same
thing may not occur again? An In
former who nbtnlns evidence of the
illicit sale of drink is subject to pri
vate and Interested Inlluetices which
may render his oath and evidence open
to the gravest suspicion. His testimony
Is tainted In the eye of tho law, being
that of an accessory to the fact of a
criminal transgression. Prosecutions
on the evidence of n common Informer
nro necessary In certain well defined
Instances, since a conviction on such
cvldenco Is alone possible. The less,
however, evidence of this kind Is acted
upon by the commonwealth, the more
hopefulness there Is thnt the law In
Its ordinary working, and procedure
will nssert itself and bring offenders to
Justice, If public opinion Is not In
sympathy with n particular law. Its
enforcement, judicially nnd impartial
ly, is well known and understood to be
Impossible where Its application In
criminal causes lays In the discretion
of n Jury. A common Informer In the
minds of a common Jury Is an obnox
ious nnd despicable creature, whose
motives they understand, gauge and
divine with unerring intultlveness. The
Judge mny express his astonishment
that the direct and circumstantial evi
dence placed before them was not
palpable enough to convince the In
telligence of any ordinary human be
ing, , but. the court is too familiar with
human nature ns segregated In a Jury
box to be surprised at it.
That speakeusles are sources of un
failing demoralization thero eun be no
question. They are under no restrictions,-under
no obligations to the law
or the executives of the law; they rob
tho commonwealth of thousands of
dollars annually; nnd they compete
with licensed saloonkeepers, who con
tribute their quota to public taxation.
They are an Inexcusable nuisance and
an unmitigated menace to public
health and public morals. Scranton Is
honeycombed with them from ono end
of the city limits to the other. They
havo f?rpwn brazen with Impunity. The
licensing records of tho Lackawanna
court, Krowth In population consid
ered, show a steadily diminishing
number of licenses granted. Tho court
does not,us might ho supposed from
this phenomena, place obstacles in the
way "of obtaining permits to sell drink.
On trie contrary, the Judges know that
to refuso a license Is practically to es
tabllsh a speakeasy, and they are gen
erally ready to grant a license to the
saloonkeeper who has hitherto con-
dueted his business In a reputable
manner, or to tho new applicant who
may bo presumed to do so. In fact, a
large number of licensed naloonkeepers
- .
hnvo dellbeiately failed to renew their
licenses because they could Just as well
get along without it. The licensed
saloonkeeper sees the proprietor of the
speakeasy prospering In his deliberate
evasion of the law, a few blocks away,
undisturbed in Ills criminal occupation
by tho constable of tho ward whose
duty It Is to report the matter, and
who very well knows how matters
stand; and he Is led finally to believe
compliance with tho law in his case
an unnecessary trouble and expense.
AVe do not believe that It Is the duty
of the district nttorney to order whole
sale arrests of the owners of speak
easies. JUS duty Is to prosecute them
when they nro brought tinder his olllc
lal cognizance by tlio constablu of the
wurd. Am we take It, his public obli
gations begin nnd end there. It is one
of the duties of the wnrrt constable to
report to court tho proprietors of the
speakeasies. There are none so blind
as those who do not want to see, nnd
If the constable of the ward does not
know a speakeasy when he sees it, or
has some private motive for not seeing
it, there Is, wo think, some ultimate
authority behind tlio constable to
which he mny be made responsible, or
If there Is not, the high license law
must be set down as a public farce.
If the people could be brought to
understand whot Is so emphatically
and logic ally true, that every evasion
of the high license law Is u burden
thrown on their shoulders, the speak
easies would not bo long In existence.
Our taxation has Increased, Is Increas
ing, and none enn tell when and where
It may stop. Articles of domestic con
sumption are considerably higher than
they wore a twelve month ago, and
the poor find it mc dllllcult to live.
The high license laws of this state
would materially relievo local taxation
. If they were systematically nnd uni
formly enforced. Hut so far from that
being the case, Illicit sale of Intoxi
cating drink has grown to such dimen
sions that it Is now a huge scnndal.
The time has arrived for honest nnd
earnest citizenship to do something
toward its correction.
The war fever has created such a
thirst for news that it is necessary for
"low, ruklsh craft' to be discovered at
least once a day off the Massachusetts
coast In order to keep the pulse of
lloston In a normal condition.
The Ledger Account With Cuba.
The etatlbtlclan of the United States
department of agriculture, Mr. John
Hyde, contributes to the National Geo
graphic maguzlno for May an article
on the trade of the United States with
Cuba, before and since tho outbreak
of the last Insurrection, which goes far
to Justify Intervention without regard
to moral reasons. Having been con
vinced by tlio testimony of our con
suls that this Insurrection could not
bo terminated by cither class of ttfi
participants, but, unless adjusted from
outside, would continue indefinitely,
having as its only effect the substitu
tion of anarchy for government and
chaos for commerce, we would have
had ground In the destruction of our
trade to Intervene even though there
had been no high principles of human
ity at iseue.
Our trade with Cuba, as Mr. Hyde
points out, readied Its highest figures
in 1S92-93, when it amounted to $102,
864,204, the ratio of imports to exports
being approximately 10 to 4. The prin
cipal article imported is sugar. In
1S93-A4 tho amount was 049,778 tons,
one-half of the total consumption of
the United States. Next is tobacco,
the trade in which reached its max
imum In 1S91-93, when tho amount Im
ported was considerably more than one
third the value of the domestic crop.
Tho only other Importation worth men
tioning Is that of vegetables, amount
ing in 1S92-93 to $2,r,00,000.
This total was almost equal to that
of our entire Asiatic trade, was nearly
four times that of our trado with
Cklna or Japan, and thirteen times
that of our trade with Hussla, while
It even exceeded the grand total of
that with Austria-Hungary, Kuesia,
Sweden and Norway, Denmark, Tur
key, Greece, Italy, Switzerland and
Portugal combined. Nor does this con
trast ilerlvii Its strength mainly from
the largeness of the Imports. The ex
ports themselves, products of our own
country, were nearly twice as great
In point of value 'as our exports to
Italy, over three times ns great as
those to China and Japan combined,
nearly six times ns great as those to
Sweden and Norway, and over ten
times as great as those to ltuwla; they
amounted to almost half as much
again ns our total exports to Asia,
and even exceeded our total exports
to South America, exclusive of Hrazll.
The principal articles of export are
meats, breadstuff and manufactured
goods, the trade In all of which articles
was rapidly assuming very largo di
mensions nt tho outbreak of the ln
mrroctlon. Coal, coke and oils were
nlso exported In considerable quanti
ties, indeed, so mversllled were our
exports that there Is no considerable
section of tho entlro country that was
not to a greater or Una degree benefit
ed by the market for our agriculture,
mineral nnd manufactured products
that existed In Cuba.
Het ween 1S93-91 and 1S90-97, how
ever, our imports from Cuba suffered
a decline of 73.7 per cent., and our ex
ports to the Island a decline of C1.7
per cent., the Imports being reduced
to lews than otic-fourth and the ex
ports to little more than one-third of
their previous volume. During the
first year of the Insurrection our trade
fell off over $30,000,000; during the
second year a further sum of $18,000,
000, and during the third year a still
further sum of $21,000,000, making a
total decline of $09,000,000 In tho
annual value of our foreign trade, and
a branch of It, moreover, that is car
ried almost entirely In American bot
toms. From theso figures of tiade de
cline under Incompetent Spanish ad
ministration wo may gain an Idea of
what our commerce with Cuba will
be when tho Island Is mnde free to
work out its productiveness unhamp
ered by voracious, tyrannical and Im
,becllo administrators.
The deliberation with which ficran-
tonlans organized to provide relief for
tho needy famllios of soldiers nt tho
front Is apparently to bo atoned for liy
the generous haste with which this no.
bio work Is now to bo pushed. Tho ac
htiowlodgcmcnt of contributions, made
In another column, shows that tho pat
riots of Lackawanna county are not all
In the field. May the list nnd total
grow until there has been complete
provision for the community's debt of
hotiorl (
Opponents of American Imperialism,
those who argue that wo should put
a wall alwut us, hide our republican
light under a bushel, nnd except In
processes of trade disconnect otirselve
from the remainder of mnnklnd, may
hap forget the parable of tho talents.
"To him who hath shall be given" Is ns
true of nations as of individuals. Tha
nation which by God'a grace shows ex
ceptional fitness to ordain and pro
servo human liberty cannot without
moral cowardlco run away from the
responsibilities which its superiority
Incurs. It the United States Is not
ndequatc to the problem of governing
wisely and humanely the colonial pos
sessions which Spain's unfitness has
forced or Is about to put under our
care, what nation Is?
The American citizen who wants to
give practical effect to his patriotism
should register a vow never to vote
for another candidate for congress who
will not, In advance of his election,
agree to press for tho development of
our navy and the ro-organlzatlon and
enlargement of our militia system un
til theie shall bo in readiness, In case
of need, 1,000,000 able-bodied civilians
drilled In military tnctlcs nnd a suffic
ient force of trained olllcers properly
nnd promptly to command them. In
that way lie national peace and prog
ress. Th Philadelphia Ledger makes
timely quotation from Washington's
Farewell Address In an effort to fore
stall entangling foreign alliances. Why
don't it emphasize Washington's other
advice, most vnltin3le of all: "In
time of peace, prepare for war?"
It is very evident that tho nomina
tion of Colonel Stone for governor
would Impose on the Hepubllcan party
in Pennsylvania a risk as serious as
It would be unnecessary.
Foreign nations in many Instances
regret that the United States has he
roine a warlike nation, but it is pleas
ing to note that the regret Is tinged
with respect.
The failuro of General Coxey to ap-'
pear with his army is attributed to the
fear that his soldiers may be asked
to volunteer as individuals and not as
a body.
As the war uroceeds tho volume cf
advice from tho srand stand seems to
be on the increase.
The Philippines
and Trade Effects
New York Commercial Advertiser.
TIIKK12 is a most pregnant hint In
thu comment of tho London Speak
er on the .relation of tho annexa
tion of the Philippine Islands to
thu development of our trade with
thu Hast. Our ocean commerce, it says,
cannot compute with that of Gicut Url
taln without protection. "In the coast
wise trade there Is this protection, ulnco
all foreign ships uro excluded, nnd by
taking the Philippines and treating them
as a territory of thu Union all trade be
tween them and any American port
comes under the samo conditions ns
coastwit.0 trado ipso facto." That is to
my, all direct trado between tho Philip
pines und American ports would have to
go in American ships, tho same as trado
between New York and the Gulf of Mex
ico, San Francisco and Alaska, No for
eign lines could compete. The samo will
bo true of ltuwull when the Islands aro
annexed.
o
This is a fact with wido bearlnss.
Trado between tho Philippines und this
country Is large already. According
to a lato consular report, we take, CI per
cent, of tho exports of the Islands. This
will Increase In volume, If not In propor
tion, with annexation und removal of du
ties. Now the largest importation Is
hemp. Hut the islands havo unlimited
capacity to produce sugar. When it can
coma in on the same terms with tho Ha
waiian, wo shall require no German beet
sugar. Our own 'Islands In tho Atljntlc
and Pacific will send us all wo need.
Then there Is tobacco. Tho Havana sup
plies aro running short. Tho best cigars
smoked on the Pacific coast nre smug
ri.il -Mnnlliis. on which there Is a pro
hibitory duty, though they cost only a
few c-nts apleco nt home, llcmoval of
the duty would make an Immense trado
In these. Probably tho sugar and tobac
co interest would oppose annexation, but
that is rot vrrth considering. Nobody
wants nnnoxutli n. anyway, nnd nobody
will fnvor It. If It comes, it will bo
through operation of resistless forces.
o
Hut observe tho tremendous effect en
our Pacific tiade if it decs come. All our
comnierco with the Philippines now goes
In HrltJsh ships and balances aro settled
through Londrn. Then it will havo to go
In American ships and exchange will b'l
direct. This Is what we have len strug
gling for for years. We havo been trying
to sustain a languid merchant marine In
tho Pacific with subsidies. When It has
the monopoly of the trado between this
count rv and 10.000.000 people, with a coin
niercla'l capital of noo.OW. Pacific shipping
will grow llko a mushroom over night.
Steamship lines to Manila will nppear by
maglo and tramp steamers una sailing
ships will keep down rates by compe
tition. In a few years we shall have nn
ocean-carrying trade with tho Hast
rivaling tho China trado of fifty years
ago, and direct exchange with Manila will
glvo banking ns well as freight nnd In
surance profits.
o
This Is not nil. Nobody can suppose
that American steamship lines to Manila
would stop there, only C00 miles from
Horn; Kong, l.son from Yokohama, Inlla
and Australia, and in tho very thick of
the Hast Indian Islands. From this cen
tral station wo should reach out for trade
In every direction. Our own ships, In
stead of Prltlsh, would carry wheut, cot
ton, petroleum and manufactures to Ja
pan and China. India and tho Islands, nnd
bring back ten and fabrics, hemp and
lute, rice and coffee from Ceylon and coal
from Australia. With the tremendous nd
vantage of tho Phlllpplno and Hawaiian
monopoly, we should soon take tho
lion's shara of the trado between tho
United States and Asia, a trade of which
the present stcs only the paltry begin
ning. Theso considerations should not
tempt us upon the unknown nnd perilous
sea of colonial enterprise, but they will
reconcile us to our fato when clashing
F.uropeun nations shall push us reluc
tant upon It.
AMATEUIl U'ARMAKUIIS.
From the Tlmos-IIeroId.
While tho professional warriors nre con.
ducting a systematic warfaro against
Spain a largo number of mnntour war
ninkers ro busi't enryigcd telling them
how to ao It and scolding vigorously bo
cause tholr ndvlco Is not heeded. Most of
these amateur warmakers were born
since the last war In which the United
States was engaged. Many of them have
never seen a battle ship nor heard tho
tonr of a cannon. Theoo latter are par
ticularly sevcro In their criticism of the
government's delay and aio loud In their
deniuuds that thu l.iivnl strategy board
shall be nbollirtii'd. They also demand to
know why Sampson has not sunk tha
Spanish fleet, why Havana has not been
boml'nrded and captuied, why Porto ltlco
has tiot been taken and why Dewey tins
not been re-enlorctd by nn army of occu
ration. o
Tho answers to all of theso questions
aro obvious. You must first catch your
Spanish fleet befcro you can sink It. It Is
useless to nttnek Havana and Porto
Illco by sea until an army of occupation
Is read to bo embarked, uiid volunteer
armies cannot bo mobilized, equipped and
made ready for service In a day. It ought
to suggest itself to tho amateur warmak
ers that tho president, who Is a so.dlor,
and his chief aids In tho nimy and navy
aro making as much haste as Is warrant
ed by conditions. It ought to be apparent
to tho fault-finders that men who havo
been trained In the science of warfare aro
more likely to conduct a campaign with
greater skill than men who havo neither
theoretical nor practical knowlcdgo of
war.
o
It was theso samo amateur warmakcrs
who clamored for a declaration of hos
tilities beforo tho country was prepared
to wngo an aggressive war, and had they
not been restrained by tho cool and cour.
ngemis opposition of tho president the
country might havo been placed at a
great disadvantage at the beginning of
tho conflict. Scmo people regard unbridled
criticism and wholesale denunciation of
the authorities as evidences of brilliancy
nnd sagacity, but to people who nro ary
behind tho ears It seems to bo Idlo and
silly. Tho government has already cre
ated a press censor to restrain Indis
creet correspondents; It might supplement'
his labors by appointing a wet nurso to
look after somo of the amateur war
makcrs. si;iiosi.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Now that war has actually begun nnd
been In progiess for four weeks tho coun
try has a chance to appreciate tho posi
tion Jn which it would be it we wcto at
real war with a first-class Kuropeun
power of our own size.
Tlio whole country Is nervous over a
slnftlo Spanish licet of four urmoreil
cruisers somo 1.C00 miles from our coast.
It tho war were with Kiiglaucl. by this
time twenty battleships would be olf our
coast in two or even three divisions, cacli
twice as strong as our total strength of
battleships. If with France, ten to
twclo battleships would bo here. In two
divisions, each doublo our total battle
ship strength. Our navy has done Its
best and It is cjual nnd not much mora
than equal to n sixth-class Furopean
power. What possible chance would wo
havo against a first-class power?
After four weeks of war, with pro
digious effort, the United States has some
8.000 men at Tampa. Tills is the limit.
Somo 90,000 men nre mustered In; but tticy
nro not organized, they aro not equipped,
they are tinned with an antiquated rltio
ten to fifteen years behind the times, and
they are undrllled. After four weeks of
war tho United States Is still without un
army.
in four weeks, even Great Urltaln could
land 20,000 me-.i on our shores, and its
nlllanco with any ono of throe foreign
powers would enable 00,000 men to no
landed here. France could have this
number ready to embark In a week, ns
could Germany, and the transports aro
ready, too. For lard service either coun
try can set Its whole army of 505,000 men
In motion In Just six days.
Now that tho country knows Just how
war feels Is it wise, Is it prudent, Is it
safe to havo a fifth-class fleet and no
army whatever? ThN is our present po
sition. Wo nro making an army after
declaring war and our licet Is barely big
enough to meet Spain's. Our risks grow
ns our power Increases, and our army
and nnvy must grow with our risks. A
first-class power must have a first-class
fleet. If It docs It will never havo to
waste time and stop business to light a
fifth-class power llko Spain. An army
of 100,000 men would have prevented this
war nnd given security from attack. Yet
congress has foolishly provided that wben
tho war Is over tho army shall fall bac'.c
to 27,000 men. Yet congressmen chatter
about a vigorous foreign policy. What
unmitigated nonsense such a policy would
be for a country with a weak fleet ana no
army. m
