The Nominee Tor Governor.
' In smother plnco will lo found nn
intcrcsthiK biographical sketch of the
gentleman yesterday nominated at
HanlslnirK for the ofllce of governor
of the commonwealth. From this It
will he seen that Colonel William
Alexis Stone Is a man of humble
origin, patriotic aspiration in time of
war, and varied but honorable experi
ence as a civilian. On battle Held and
in halls of legislation he hns ben en
terprising and progressive, und the
success which has como to him lias
been aggressively fought for and won
in the stand-up-and-tnke-your-medi-cino
fashion which rarely falls to com
mand the applause of our plain Ameri
can citizenship.
The Tribune, ere the lists were
closed, opposed tho nomination of
Colonel Stone, not on personal ground
but honestly and boldly ns a matter
of partv expediency. After an open
debate wo were fairly overruled by u
majority of the men whose commis
sions from the Republican mnssis in
Pennsylvania gave them the right to
pass judgment concerning this mat
tor; and we therefore bow without
bitterness to the majority's will. Col
onel Stone will bt desperately opposed,
less on account of any personal shoit
comlngs than because of the factional
company he keeps: and what might
have been a walk-over will In all prob
ability become a hand-to-hand contest
covering ever:' square inch of terri
tory In the state; but Republicans who
recognize the nerosslty for party regu
larity and who especially at this time
appreciate the peculiar need of un
diminished Republican loyalty In view
of obllcntlons due to the national ad
ministration In Its ordeal of war will
gird themselves for the light, sacrific
ing minor and perhaps temporary ob
jections for the benellt of the larger
principles at stake.
To those who have supported the can
didate of Lackawanna county during
tho recent canvass we offer our con
gratulations. They did not win, but
they showed irreproachable judgment.
- - - . ..
When we remember Lafayette, we
forget all about the silly French news
papers tliat lovo Spain.
France and Spain.
That the general situation in Europe
Is ginve, graver than it has been nt
any time ince the Germans crossed
tho Rhine and laid France under the
Iron heel of Prince Ulsnuirck. Is ad
mitted by diplomats and publicists.
That some secret understanding has
been arrived at between France and
Spain, there is every reason to believe.
The rumors of such an alliance are
persistent, and their singular per!s
toncy -connects plausibility with the
political situation In both countries.
France has found out the unreality and
unsubstantlallty of her alliance with
Russia. She has not prollted by the
Muscovite absorption of Monchuria,
one of the richest and most fertile
provinces of China, by the annexation
of some other portion of the Celestial
empire, if not of equivalent value, at
least such as she might be supposed to
participate In, in a nominal division
in an adventure in which both coun
tries were believed to go partners
mutually. If national alliances are
worth anything. France has supplied
Russia with the money which makes
the terminus of the Siberian railway
possible at Port Arthur. The money ot
Frenchmen will be employed also in
the developement of the Immeasurable
resources of Manchuria. The limitless
wealth of this continental province Is
practicably unrealizable. It contains
n population of over twenty-two mil
lions of an Industrious, frugal enlight
ened population who only requite good
government to develop into ot.e of the
finest peasantry on the earth. It Is
rich in coal, Iron ore, and the precious
minerals, while Its vast foiests are
sources of immense potential wealth.
France had the money which Hussiu
needed to develop Manchuria, and as
poon as the Incongruous alliance was
formed, or believed to be formed.
French wealth (lowed in streams into
tho depicted coffers of tho czar's treas.
ury. Whllo the security is good,
Frnnr tin ' rprl''l nn tnnvlbla
return, Hut neither Nicholas II or his
advisers are ungrateful to Frantc or
unmindful of obligations which their
country lies tinder to tho French re
public. Russia Is not prepared to aid
France to recover her lost pro Inoui
from (lermnny. Short of thla she is
willing to give her all the moral if
not material aid she can; and the moral
support of Russia Is a dominating fac
tor In European politics.
Since the era of Napoleon Honaparte
It has been the consistent policy of
Franco to make the Mediterranean a
European lake. Italy has for genera
tions been too poor nnd distracted to
frustrate the plans of France. Tuikey,
so long ns she held the Ucophorcu.t.
did not pay any pnrtlcular attention
to what was going on In the .Levant
and Russia was cooped up' In the
Hlnck sea. England was the only
country that balked her Inordinate nm
bit Ion. She held (Jlbrnltar, which com
mands the entrance to the Medltetra
nenn at tho one end nnd dictated the
policy of the sublime poite which con
trolled the key of the Levant at the
other end. Todny England's predomin
ance In the Mediterranean la greater
than It was ever before. She now holds
Egypt as well an Gibraltar, white her
only port on the great Inland sea !s
Marseilles. Algiers faces Gibraltar
and nil the formications 01 this
French colonial possession are be!le,ved
to be Impregnable. However, a battle
ship can pass both the forts on the
Algerian coant and the batteries on
the rock of Gibraltar out of range vt
the guns on each fortification. They
are, of course, of Immense strategetleal
value otherwise. There is Morocco
over which Spain exercises 11 nominal
sovereignty nnd on the coast of which
she has a few forts. The sultan of
Morocco holds his tenure of the throne
im his brother of Constantlnoii" dos
through the Jealousy of the European
Christian powers. The Canary Islands
and Ceuta In the Atlantic belong to
Spain. They are of singularly little
use to her. Having lost Cuba nnd
the Philippines, Spain would probably
sell them to France. She must do
something of the kind. A bankrupt
nation can no more carry on Its busi
ness than a bankrupt shopkeeper.
Money Spain must have and the sale
of these Islands to a wealthy and
friendly country like France aftel the
ehaiiBtlon of a great war she could
accomplish without degradation of her
Castlllnn pride nnd dignity.
There Is on? thliit; icrtaln, Englind
would never ol'uw Ir.ince to acquire
the islam.s by concession or purchaT
without drawing the nword. These
beautiful islands nre a favorite resort
of Englishmen during the winter
months. Iirltlsh capital Is almost the
sole source of Investment in these
Islands. This is of course a matter of
no cause for Intervention, as capital
Is ns secure under the regime of one
country ns another. The islands are,
however, of great strategetleal Import
ance to Great llritnin. They are on
the direct road to HritUsh West African
possessions and to India and Australia
by the Cape of Good Hope route. Tn
fact they hold the commanding position
In the Atlantic that the Hawaiian isl
ands do in the Pacific. Perhaps Spain
bellees that we will take possession of
them permanently ortempornrlly. If we
should deem it necessary to do so, and
the necessity may exist, we should
incur tho nbldlng if not active inter
vention, of France. It Is certain that
we should not n'low France to occut y
the Canaries until at any rate after tho
close of the war no more than Eng
land. It may be that England and
the Tailed States will have to co-operate
to prevent her from doing so as
th London Chronicle suggests. Rus
sia would gladly see the trl-color wav
ing over the Canaties. It would re
lieve her of the pretensions of France
In the far east.
Slnco the government silenced Syl
vester Scovel, the rest of the business
ought to be easy.
. 1 0
Omaha Exposition.
The Trans-MlssIsslppl exposition,
which Is now open to the public, is
evidently destined to a most cuccess
ful season. There Is no question that
the enterprise Is entitled to support
upon the basis of genuine merit, nnd
when It Is remembered that the pro
ject has been carried through to a
successful termination In spite of the
war nnd many other things to claim
the attention ot the citizens of Omaha
as well as other portions of the coun
try, endorsement of the project be
comes almost a duty.
Although no attempt has been made
to rival the great World's fair at
Chicago, or the Philadelphia centen
nial, all agiee that within the limits
which it has plainly outlined the
Omaha exhibition J one of the most
complete and comprehensive of its
class and Is thoroughly representative
of the enterprise of the great west.
The people of Nebraska, who have
perfected the plans that have boon car
ried out so successfully nre deserving
of grent credit for their pluck and per
severance aitd It Is to be hoped that
their efforts will be substantially rec
ognized by liberal patronage.
Tho change of European opinion to
ward tho Vnlted States will doubt
less do much In the way of bringing
Spain to her t-i'twes. Many of the
governments that were free to give
Spain advice and sympathy at the be
ginning of the present unpleasantness
have evidently come to the conclusion
that it Is not wlso to antagonize the
American republic. It has already
dawned on the minds of the leaders
that the forces against Spain are too
much to bo withstood. When the mob
enn be made to understand that no
help need be expected from the na
tions of Europe, It is likely that they
will be willing to give up tho unequal
struggle that can only bring Ignomin
ious defeat.
Our esteemed contemporary, the Phil
adelphia Press, in Its convention re
port of yesterday, says Mr. Council
threw his delegates to Stone.' This Is
inaccurate. When he saw that his own
candidacy stood no show, Mr. Connell
released the Lackawanna delegates
from all obligations and they followed
their own preferences on second choice.

Slonc, of Allegheny.
HIS LIKE AS A SOLDIER, STATES
MAN AND CIVIL! AN-A PRIVATE
IN THE UNION ARMY AT THE AGE
OF SEVENTEEN - AS TEACHER
AND LAWVEUIHS CAREER IN
CONCIRESS.
Pittsburg, Juno 2. William A.
Stone is 11 self-made man. Ills father,
Israel Stone, waw a small fanner in
Delmnr township, Tioga county, nnd
here the prospective governor was
born, on April 18, 1846. Here he spent
his childhood and early youth, attend
ing to tho drudgery of farm life unci
eagerly securing the rudiments of an
education at the district school during
the winter. With his four brothers ho
worked upon tho farm until tho out
break of the war, when the thtee elder
brothers enlisted und went to the
front. Ho was then too young to en
list, but In August, 1SG.1, he, with half
a dozen other lads, wno were members
of a cadet corps, illled with a feverish
enthusiasm to fight for the Union, ran
away to Harrlsburg nnd enlisted. Ills
father, finding It dllllcult to work the
farm alone, decided tliat his son might
be spared from the country's service
for the time being at any rate, and
secured his discharge through Senator
Simon Cameron's efforts.
Hut parental discipline could not re
strain the boy's patriotic desire to light
for his country, in the following Feb
ruary, not having renched his 18th
year, he again enlisted, this time gnlng
as a private In Company A, One Hun
dred nnd Eighty-seventh Pennsylvania
volunteers, a company which had com
pleted a service of six months and was
then going In for the rest of the wnr.
His father made no further attempts
to Interfere, as he had come to realize
that the lad was prompted by some
thing deeper than mere boyish fancy
for a soldier's life. And so the young
man was ordered to the front with his
regiment. While on his way south he
becaino sick and was taken to the
Carver hospital In Washington.
REAL SERVICE.
In response to the call for volunteers
to man the defences of Washington
against the expected nttack of Dreck
enridge and Early, young Stone quit
the hospital and then saw his first real
service. Ho was in the engagement at
Yellow House, or Six-Mile Run, Au
gust 18, the siege of Petersburg from
August l'. to September 22, later in
the fall of that year going with his
command to do duty at Camp Cadwal
ader, Philadelphia. He was promoted
through tho grades of petty olllcers
up to that of second lieutenant, which
he received on March 10, lbOJ. He
was mustered out of service with his
company on August 3, 1SGJ. After the
war was over Governor Hnrtranft
commissioned him assistant ndjutant
general of the Thirteenth division, Na
tional Guards, with the rank of lieu
tenant colonel.
Uefore entering the nrmy, like the
sons of most poor farmers, young
Stone hnd attended school but Irregu
larly. After he was mustered out he
went back to the farm and continued
to help his father, attending the Wells
boio academy dining the fall term of
1SCS and teaching at a district school
In winter.
TEACHER AND LAWYER.
In 1SC6 he went to the Mansfield
State Normal school, graduating from
that Institution in 186S. He had a hard
struggle to make both ends meet in
those days, and while attending the
Normal school he "did chores" for his
keep. On obtaining the much-prized
diploma he secured a position as
teacher In the Wellsboro academy, and
began the study of law In the ofllce
of Stephen F. Wilson and .1. H. Nlles,
of that town. Itvo years later he was
admitted to the bar.and at once opened
an ofllce In Wellsboro, which then had
about 1,200 Inhabitants.
It Is needless to say that clients did
not flock to the young lawyer, and it
required close management nnd phil
osophy to keep the future congress
man in food, clothes nnd good spirits.
But he stuck it out. Clients came
graduTflly; he took an Interest In poli
tics, and in 1S74 made a successful
fight for the Republican nomination
for district attorney for Tioga county.
Ho was elected, the term being for
three years. At the end of two years,
however, he resigned and moved to
Pittsburg, and In 1S77 opened nn ofllce
at No. 70 Grant street. After tlnee
nnd a half years of successful practice
he was appointed United States attor
ney for the Western district of Penn
sylvania by President Hayes on July
C, 1SS0. He was ro-nppolnted tothls
ofllce by President Arthur, but was
removed by President Cleveland be
cause of some speeches he made in the
Heaver gubernatorial campaign. Col
onl Stone then resumed his private
practice,
IN CONGRESS.
In June, 1S90, he was nominated for
congress In place of the late Thomas
M. Payne, who declined after rocelv
ing tho nomination from the conven
tion. The action of the convention In
selecting Colonel Stone instead of
George Shlra, third, who had been
Colonel Hayne's opponent for tho Re
publican nomination, was severely
criticised, nni considerable feeling was
stirred up. As a result Colonel Stone
wrote a letter to the chairman of tho
county committee declining the nomin
ation given him by the convention and
asked for primaries to get at the desires
of the Republican voters In regard to
the congressional nomination, These
primaries resulted in a victory for Col
onel Stone after a hard fight of three
months. Since then ho has had prac
tically no opposition for tho congres
Hionnl nomination, nnd Is now serving
hl fourth term In the house.
Colonel Stone has made a good record
In congreas. s a member of the River
and Harbor committee he at once be
gan the work which Is now resulting
In the improvement of the Allegheny
river. Vie obtained a survey of tho
liver with a view of making It navi
gable to Franklin, and has followed
out this project with unflagging zeal,
until now threo dams nre authorize'!
and the money appropriated for their
construction. His purpose is to slack
wnter tho Allegheny river, and then
by the Improvement of French Creek
to Mendvlllo ond from there by canal
to Lake Erie, connect the cities of Erie
and Pittsburg by wnter transportation.
The success of this plan Is already as
sured, ns tho government Is commit
ted to it by largo appropriations al
ready made.

FRIEND OF REED.
The standing and position of the
members of congress nre shown by the
o-mmltteps. The committee on appro
priations Is the second, If not the first,
committee la the house. In tho organ
ization of the Fifty-fourth congress
Speaker Reed did a very unusual thing.
He placed Colonel Stone on the Appro
priation committee, although Pennsyl
vania already had one representative
on it. This was done In acknowledge
ment of his worth and fitness, and In
recognition of his position as one of
the leaders of the house.
Although he may not be called nn
orator, yet he is a plain, sensible talk
er, and speak' with great oarr-ostness
and to the point. Always good nntur
ed, he is yet aggressive, and does not
shrink from a light.
PRIVATE LIFE.
HI? private diameter Is unquestion

wife and children. Colonel Ston" is .1
