Tlic Soldier's Supreme Law.
An pplsodo which Illustrates 'ome of
thp cllflleultlcs arlflnK from the attempt
to conduct 11 iiuli'k war with civilian
f-nldlcrs has occurred In the Ninth lccr
Imont. Penna. Vols., at Chlckaniausa.
A staff otllcpr, Mr. Jlnhon, vho was
acting as war correspondent for tho
V. ilkes-EaiTP Times, wrote to his paper
certain articles conceinln,? a detail In
camp lnnniisenu nt which Involved
criticism of a superior cilTlccr, Col, ppI
Dougherty, and the latter as an act
01 discipline reduced .Alahoii to thp
rniiKt". The Tlinns has taken thi mat
ter up and with cartoons, cdltnrl.il
l'nadldps and local articles. Is sdrlv
lnsr worse than a Spaniard to cieute
discord at camp. Of course it doesn't
mean to aid Spain: hut In Its qulck
nfs to defend an employe In the wrong
it l doing another wronp of far mine
serious proportions.
All this arises from Inability to un
d. rstand that the Indispensable. re
oulsite of feuccessful soldiering Is dis
cipline. The soldier In the field has no
more right to ue 11 pen against a
superior olllcer than ho would have to
assault that olllcer with a sword or
bayonet. If he cannot scrvp a news,
parer and the fnlted States govern
ment at one time without getting into
trouble ho should abandon une master
for the other. Indeed, wo doubt If It
is permissible under nrmy legislation
for a soldier to act as a news cones
pnndent while 011 duty in the service.
In this particular case it Is only fair
to tho correspondent to say that tho
ground of his wiltten criticism seemed
well taken We .lie Informed that at
the heudnuaiters of the Ninth regi
on nt a canteen, or drinking place, was
opened by or with the assent of some
of the olllcers, and out of this glow a
scandal. We can undei stand how Mr.
Aluhon, lowing the subject fi'om a
newspaper man's standpoint, felt ob
ligated to attempt to coneet the evil
thiough the power of the pies. Had he
been a newspaper correspondent mere
ly his action in putting compla'int
before tho public, it juhtltlpil by the
fucts, would have been not simply law
ful but also commendable Rut as a
soldier under oath to obey the rules
nnd discipline of war his (list duty
was to respect und protect tho fame
and authority 01 those above him in
rank. This duty does not relax when
the superior in command Is Infeiior In
fact. It is Inexorable. It is a neces
sity of war.
Complaints now and then have come
to us from Camp Alger of conditions
there which In sorao respects jar on
nerves accustomed to the amenities of
civil life, but wo have dlsnilhsed them.
It Is not now a fitting time to open
any discussion liable to impair the har
mony and eifectiveness ot the men at
the front. The paramount duty of the
present Is to conquer Spain. Minor
points can bo waived until aftciwatd.
The Omaha exposition will show that
the ereat west can raise u good many
things more Important und valuable
than Populists.
Cock righting.
One Peter Heap, of Jessup, has been
Indicted before the grand Jury on
charges of cockflghtlng. selling drink
without a license and selling drink on
Sunday. It appears that men and boys
have resorted for aome months past at
this man's promises to enjoy the pas
time of cockflghtlng, and, incidentally,
that of man fighting. These suivlvals
of the primitive instincts of our ances
try go together in their modern devel
opment. Tho unlicensed saloon Is tho
necessary, In fact, the indispensable
ncriunct of the cock pit. The convivial
nttractlons of tho one complement the
brutal accessories of tho other. Prefer
ence sshown for the ulet of the Sab
liath to promote the saturnalia of drink
ing, blasphemy and cruelty which con
stitute the familiar phases of a cock
fight. As If It were any palliation for
the presence of the principals and spec
tator In a cock light, it is pleaded In
hlr lhnlf, and tho plon In readily nc-
.
ceptcd by many, thnt men who work
hard all week should be allowed such
relaxation as they choose on the one
day on which they arc nt llbrrty to
cull the time fit their disposal thelrown.
Wo repudiate the premises on which it
li sought, not Indeed to Justify cock
fighting, which is uttttly unjustifiable
on Sunday or any other day, or under
any circumstances, but to mitigate Its
execrable culpability. Respectable and
representative worklngmtn do not go
to cock fights. It Is unfortunately true
that they ate sometimes indifferent
to thPlr existence, but they do not
countenance thonv by their presence
tit nny inte. The cock fighting fra
ternity nip mainly loafeis, Idlers and
hoodlums who ensnare unwnry youths
with wages In their pockets Into these
demoralizing resort.
We do not want the cock pit, rejuven
ated In the t'nltcd States. Tho "sport
of Kings" was believed to have died out
with the last of Its royal followers. Hut
sport is the most conservative and
static of human Institutions. Pugilism
has piactlcally undergone no essential
modification In Its prattlco since pre
historic man employed his fists as
weapon!! of offense and defence a time
probably anterior to his use of 11 club,
Hint arrow head or stone hatchet. Such
game" as cricket, loot ball, and base
ball aie Intuitive developments of man's
put suit In satisfaction of sportive and
plivful drslres. The nttlflclnl restric
tions under which they are at the pres
ent day followed cannot conceal their
prlmoidlal and Ingenuous origin. Wo
as a civilized and Christian people decry
the barbarous and Inhuman spoit of
bullfighting. It Is o repugnant to our
feelings towiuds dumb, sentient ani
mals that wo loathe It for the degrada
tion of human natuie which it Involves.
We execrate the bandeiillo nnd his led
Hag, the agilo matador and his stiletto,
with possibly no les hatred than the
tortured bull In the atena regards them
The Spaniard, on the other hand,
would call our supersensitive at
tention to the iirl7c ring nnd the
cock pit as American Institutions of re
pute. In comparison with which bull
fighting has at least the negative ad
vantages of popular approval and his
toric association and the positive one
of Inspiring couiacp and fearlessness.
Something must be conceded to tho
Spaniard in the argumentative con
trast. The Spanish matador is not one
whit mere ciuel than the backer nt a
prize Pzht nor th bandcrlllo than the
hcpler at a cock light. We may claim,
however, that public opinion In this
countrv antaonlres the prize ring and
the cock fight. The law of nearly all.
if not all the states of the Union pro
hibits pilze iightins and cock fighting.
It is little, however, to the purpose
when the law Is not carried out.
Dlstilct Attorney Jones declares that
he will put a stop to cock lighting. In
his eftorts he will have the co-opeiatlon
ot The Tilbutie. The law should not
tarrv until stimulated by pilvate repre
sentation. There are hundreds of ioost
ers around Seranton In training to tear
each other to pieces as soon as they ale
brought together. When we think of
the lacoiatlon or cruel death of these
beautiful and Innocent birds In the cock
p.t. it is not meiely sontimcnta!iii
which in get. a resort to physical castl
gation nt the degraded wretches in ad
dition te any other punishment the law
may mete out to thpm. The thanks
find appreciation of the community are
due to Father Snioulter In his enlight
ened cfiorts to bring the eock lighting
miscreants to justice. If a few stem
examples are set before the cock fight
ing fraternity it will bring home to
them in what light law and society re
gard this "sport" and the "spoitsmen"
who practice it.
It Is a waste of valuable time for
Spain to continue to appeal to the
Powers In the interest of peace. The
best thing Spain can do Is to appeal
to the L'nlted States, and that eiulckly.
Better Times for All.
That the piescnt war will prove of
benefit to the laboilng man and the un
omploved no one seems to question,
though many Ftem surprised that tho
influence of tho tremendous war ex
penditures has not been felt already
to a greater extent by the working
classes of tho country. A Chicago pa
pur, the Times-Herald, gives an
explanation of the failure of ie
tall trade 40 exhibit life which s
supposeel to be Inseparable from war
times, in expansion of the circulating
medium and the inevitable cheapening
of the puichablng power of the same.
In reality the government has thus far
paid In actual cash but a small fraction
of the obligations It has assumed. Con
tracts Involving heavy payments, have
been made, but not consummated, ex
cept In part. The government Is prov
ciblally slow In the payment of its
debt Scvctul yaids of red tape are at
tached to every tiansactlon, but let the
machlneiy of the circumlocution ofllce
get Into working order nnd the pffect
upon labor and trade of the constant
outpour of money for war expenditures
will bo felt everywhere.
The distribution of tho money paid
to contractors, manufacturers, and me
chanics In the special lines of industry
ulficted requires considerable time.
After the channels of exchange are
opened additional time Is required in
the distribution of money fiom tho
special localities affected. Not until It
llndE Its way Into food pioducts, for ln-at'-ince,
will tho agricultural regions
begin to feel It perceptibly, and from
the fanner It will pour Into the hands
ot the retailer in exchange for the ne
cessaries or luxuries of life, then Into
tho hands of tho wholesaler, jobber, or
banker, finding its way gradually up
ward from tho farmhouse to the village,
town, und city, and In the proper course
of time to great trado centers.
It Is probable the country In the pres
ent Instance will profit by experiences
of the past and that another period of
expansion and extravagance like that
of 1S01-CS will not follow the Spanish
American war.
Tho conditions that existed then are
not nrobti l now, even In tho slightest
degtee. There Is no Interruption what
ever In our domestic trade and very
little? in our foreign commerce. No por
tion of tho country suffers from fear of
Invasion, nnd public confidence In the
stability of tho government Is not
Fhakeiv We are not cut off from any
of thr necpssarlM or luxiirUi. Not a
single one of our ports Is hlockaded.
On the other hand, tho government Is
not issuing paper money by tho bale,
and tho gold standard Is maintained
without tho slightest fear of a prem
ium. liood times for all classes were at
hand when thn war broke out, and
nothing hns occurred since to discour
age capital or retard the recovery of
tiado which set In over n year ago. Be
fore tho summer Is over we shall feci
tho effect of tho strengthened confi
dence of humanity In tho stability of
our Institutions and the resources of
our nation, nnd this, with the spirit of
hope Infused Into our people by a tri
umphant war, will lead us on to a new
era of entorpilse and prosperity.
Through tho courtesy of Richard V.
Rothwell wo present on another page
this morning a table of statistics show
ing the mineral and metal production
of tho United States for 1S97. These
statistics were collected by Mr. Roth
well at gicut rvpense for the sixth an
nual volume ot "Tho Mineral Indus
try," a publication which ranks among
the first ot its class, and they are
worthy of careful study. Speaking
roughly, this country's mineral pro
duction Is worth three-quarters of a
billion dollars, or $10 per capita, nnd Is
almost equal to that of all Europe.
Add to our mineral wealth our enor
mous agricultural resoutces nnd our
skill In converting raw material into
llnlshed products, and the sum of our
supremacy among the nations Is suf
ficient to nllay any nppiehension that
a coalition can ever be formed nmong
hostile powers capable of crushing us.
One of the happiest cartoons of the
season Is printed In tho AVnshington
Star. It is entitled "A Modern King
Canute" nnd represents Speaker Reed
sitting In a throne by the seashore vain
ly striving with his Imperial gavel to
bent back the tislng tide for Hawaiian
annexation. Mr. Reed's sense of humor
will be touched by this clever Idea and
his good judgment will perceive that
while the cartoon is funny it Is also
prophetic.
Congressman Cummlngs" bill to pay
$73,000 out of our own prize money to
the widow of Dr. Ruiz, tho American
citizen whom Spaniards assassinated
In a. Cuban Jail, is pre-eminently Just.
Had the United States ero Ruiz met
his fate done Its duty by enforcing its
lights, tills crimson stain on our na
tional honor would not have been In
clined. Having acted the coward let
us pay the price.
The bill of Congressman I.acey to
permit soldiers to vote In the field, If
It can be framed to avoid constitu
tional objections, should promptly be
passed. Hecause a citizen has donned
a soldier's uniform should not signify
that he has abrogate his sovereignty.
When Iip heard of the Oregon's great
lun mound the II0111 the czar sent
post haste for her builder with a view
to ordering some warships like her.
Heie Is one big Amctlcan war victory
concerning which Spain cannot bear
false w Itness.
All talk of coaxing the railroads to
lee up on their discrimination against
haul coal maj as well be abandoned.
The rallioads will play fairly only
when they are foued to.
Sfafe Press Upon
Convention's Work
l'rom tho Philadelphia Inquiroi.
In the noniluitlon uf Colonel William A.
Stone, of Allcghcii), the Republican party
of Pennsylvania has spoken after a can
vass as free aim open ns was ever held
In this state. On his own merit the gal
lant Peiinsjlv.iniun has made, hi.-, wln.
nlng light, ai.il on tlio first ballot re
ceived a large m ijorlty of the members
of tho convent Ion. The nomination is
an excellent one. No blot marks Colom I
Stone's lecord. In the daiks days of tho
civil war he shouldered his musket ami
fought valiantly for h's country. Coming
home, he betook himself to the law and
has been honored by his people lie
qiicntly. lie hns m.ido a splendid record
In congress and Is known as the cham
pion of American labor, not only for a
proteetlvo tariff, but lias led hi tho tight
agaliiit the hotdes of pauper labor that
come to deprive tho American workman
of his just wages. Tho convention has
spoken and the Republican paity will in
dorse) that nomination at the polls this
fall. Of that ihero is no doubt.
Viotn tho Philadelphia Times.
No Intelligent and dispassionate Rcpub.
llcan leader in the Ilarrlsburg conven
tion could fall to note and fully under
stand the laci that tho nomination ot
Colonel Stone must bo mado by the lorco
of the most arrogant and despotic polit
ical methods in the Interests of faction,
and If an have been so blind as nut to
seo that It meant a colossal rcvolutljn
within the part lines, tho sweep of
which none, can measure, they should bo
pitied as fools or censured as knaves.
The nomination was made by tho swing
of the club with the fiercest waves of rev
olution surging against the factional bat
tlements, and worthy as Colonel Stone
Is personal, It was madness of sui
cide, to force tho nomination under tho
conditions which confronted the repre
sentatives of the part j.
Prom tho Philadelphia Press.
Tho nomination of William A, Stone
unnecessarily and wantonly hiindlcaps
the Republican purty In tho coming elec
tion. The test of tho ticket Is unexcep
tionable and the platform Is stiung nnd
wise. The weakness Is all at the top.
With almost iiny other candidal!) that
could be nutnod success was assured.
Only 0110 man could inako the Issue
doubtful and ho was chosen. Wo pro
foundly regret this action of tho conven
tion. It has forced upon the party a can
didate who id distasteful to thousands
of Republicans ami cannot command
thiir votes. It has disregarded and over
ridden public sentiment to an extent that
will not easily be forglvon.
Prom the Philadelphia Record.
The ticket is suitably dlstiihuted geo
gruphicallv. and tho candidates are all
leputablo men. This jear. however, tho
names on the tlckot will bo of lesser con
sequenco than usual. Tho battle will bo
a bittlo of methods, and not of men. It
is tho misfortune of tho regular nomi
nees that they must go into tho content
with tho machine brand upon them.
They will stand or full as tho machine
shall stand or fall In tho public estima
tion. Their success will bo the vindica
tion ot tho machine; their defeat a tri
umph of public virtue and a step tona.'d
better government.
Prom tho Philadelphia Ledger.
Tho contest of honest against dishon
est political methods hns Just begun; It
is not ended. Afi that John Wanamaker
charged against the Quay legislature
and tho Quay executive officers Is true;
th need for rufnrm U creator now thnn
before Quay ngnln ni sorted his power
by controlling the nctlon of the Republi
can convpntlcn. There aio more than
enough votes In tho state opposed to
Quay and his methods to defeat his can
dldato for governor, but whether they
can bo brought together at tho polls in
support of ono candlito Is problematical.
Prom tho Pittsburg Times (C. L. Magce.)
Tho ticket slaf-d has been put through
and Is now before tho Republicans of
Pennsylvania for their ratlllcatlon ut tho
polls In November. As rcgurds tho nomi
nee for governor, the Times has no
chnngo In opinion. It still considers him,
as It has done from tho vrry Inception
of the contest which has ended In his
nomination, tho weakest candidate be
fore the party. He Is not now nor has
he ever been the real choice of tho ma
jority of tho Republicans of Pcimsvl
vanln. and ho cannot command that
strength that can only como from tho
united support of tho harmonious party.
Tho more fact that ho is tho nominee
neither adds to his strength nor makes
him the moro acceptable. Tho fact,
however, that ho Is tho nomlneo and that,
moreover, his nomination was not se
cured by mentis obviously unfair, or by
methods so overbearing as to warrant
resentment, cloos 1 ot give him a clulm
to tho support of the Republicans of
Pennsylvania, that would be due him
under ordinary circumstances, and be
comes Imprratlvo upon the party now.
Thcio nro Issues at stake too vast and too
weighty to warrant any faihne in alle
giance to Republicanism. Pcnnsvlv.inla
Is too deeply interested in the mainten
ance, of a sound and stable currency, to
falter In tho protection of her Industries,
to falter In hor support of Republican
principles, even though the candldato pre
sented for governor is one whom wis
dom and prudence would not have ec
Ii ctcd for tho suffrages of tho people.
Thn party must do Its full share to
maintain Pennsylvania's representation
In both blanches of congress It must
stand bv the administration of Willl'em
McKlnlev, tho moro especially that tho
nation is engaged In war, and Pennsyl
vania's sons have gono to the fiont.
Prom tho Wllkcs-IJarre Times.
The work ot tho convention resulted In
the nomination of a ticket which cannot;
bo questioned ns to its stalwart Repub
licanism, but which represents 1n.icl1l.10
dictation and control in every particular.
While there can bo no question as to the
personal charactei and fitness of the sev
eral candidates for the respective oiiicps
for which they arc named, there will bo
a decided opposition on the part of those
Republicans of the state who believe In
and demand unti .tunneled conventions
and fair nominations. This opposition
will continue to grow Horn now on until
election next November and if Hip light
sort ot leaders head the movement, it is
certain to become most formidable.
From tho Pottsville Miner's Journal.
Roth in plntfoim and candidates the
state convention sized up to tho full re
quirements of the demands of tho Re
publican party of the state. A platform
breathing more patriotic devotion to the
principle of the patty, or candidates
moro eminently deserving the approval
of each and every tine Republican,
could not have been framed or selected.
Roth will stand the closest scrutiny with
out reveling a lluw In their composition.
From the Pittsburg Commercial-Gazette.
It is an Invincible ticket.
From the Wllkes-rtarre Record.
Wo bclievo that AMIIItm A. Stone Is a
far better man than the political dtsie
potables who by trickery and scheming
have forced his nomination upon the.
party. Because th Recoid In till sincer
ity believes this, ll will support him In
this campaign.
From the Carbondile Leader.
It is unfortunate tli.it 11 candidate could
not have been selected agreeable to all
factions, but it is to be hoped that the
light having been made before the con
vention things will sottlo down and the
usual Republican maforitv be maintained.
A repetition of .1 Democratic state admin.
Istration is not at all to be desired.
