It will be my purpose when elected to bo conduct myclf us to win the respect nnd (rood will of those who have opposed me as well ns thoso who havo given mo thotr support. 1 rhnll bo the governor of the whole peopls of tho state. Abu?M have undoubtedly grown up In the legis lature whlih aro neither the friult ol one party nor the other, but rather tho growth of custom. Vnwiwary Investi gations have been authorized by commit tees, resultlrg in unncccFtary expense to the stale. It will be my enre nnd pur jioeo to correct these nnd other evils In so far as I have tho power. It will be my purpose while governor of Pennsylvania, ns It has been my purpose In the public positions thnt I havo held, with God's help, to dlschaige my whole duty. The people nro greater than the parties 'a which they belong. I am only Jealous of their favor. I shall only nttetnpt to win their approvnl and my experlenco has taught mo that that can best be done by nn honest, modest, dally dlschuigo of public duty. It was a cowardly deed to forgo tho letter that condemned an Innocent man to tho untold horrors of Imprison ment for llftvon poiiinps to early death. It wns a coward's deed to commit sui cide to avoid the results of the forgery. Colonel Henry made a fitting end to a coward's life. The Heal Animus. Mr. Wanamaker at Williams Grove on Thursday hurled at Senator Quay the big bolt In his arsenal of weapons. His speech in full was printed in Fri day's Philadelphia Press, occupying- six columns in fine type. We advi&e all who can to read it; for it is evidently the best that Wanamaker can do. The substance of this attack, closely examined, is that a great "machine" has been built up in Pennsylvania and control of it captured by M. S. Quay. Mr. Wanamaker gives manyjlgures to show how large the machine is and what its poyer is when exerted in pol itics. Mr. Wanamaker is Jealous that Mr. Quay should run so big a machine. Wanamaker wants to try his hand at running it. By shrewd attention to business Mr. Wannmaker has built up a mercantile machine which crushes out small cpmpeUtors. and concentrates capital and trade running annually in to the millions: but having been thwarted in a. political ambition Mr. Wanamaker proposes now that Senator Quay shall be chased out of politics and Mr. Wanamaker made boss in Quay's stead. This is the essence of the whole matter. Wanamaker is sim ply jealous of Quay because Quav In the game of politics has thus far out played him; and ho proposes to disor ganize and punish the whole Republi can party in Pennsylvania, Jeopardiz ing the election of Republican con gressmen and Imperilling a vote in the United States tenate, in order that ho may square his personal accounts with Quay and gain the monopoly in politi cal power which he already enjoys in the mercantile world. Now Quay may have his faults; ho may be the bold, bad man that his en emies say; but at all events he has shown throughout a brilliant career that he Is a man of his word, that he does not forget thoso who do him a service, and that he is no Jekyll and Hyde, working the reform element with one face while boodllng the legis lative districts with another. If He publican Pennsylvania is to be upset in order to spill Quay out It should be for some better purpose than to take a boss like Wanamaker on board. Surgeon General Sternberg appeals tu be the only person disposed to blame nil the ills of the war upon the Red Cross secret:-. An Assured Fact. The paper rend nt Saratoga by Charles A. Gardiner before the Ameri can Social Science association and printed in Thursday's Tribune on the proposed Anglo-Amerlcan alliance, may be regarded ns an exact scientific view of a political proposal which has for its basis one of the most momentous proh lems that ever engaged the wit and wisdom of mankind. We take It that Mr. Gardiner speaks of an alliance in the sense In which it has been con ventlonally understood on Jioth sides of the Atlantic since it became a topic of public discussion. An alliance with Great BrltiilininiiHtvho one of fratern ity rather than of reciprocal ulleglanco. We cannot undertake to conservo the destinies of Great Britain no more than Great Britain can undertake to safe guard ours. But on broad lines our alms nnd our commercial Interests are Identical; our history and our progress havo been bound up jvlth one another, and no antagonisms of party politics or racial antipathies among certain sec tions of our population can estop the two nations from Joining sympathies and moral Influence in a.common emer gency. We agree WthMlr.c'aardlner in all ho has said of tho vnlue of the Pacific trade, present nnd prospective, to the United States. The Pacific Is the great maritime highway of the United States, It will become to us In time what the Atlantic has already become to Great Britain. Austria's threat of a Pan European commercial coalition ngnlnst tho United States wo enn uftord to Ignore. Such u threat coming from tho worn-out and decrepld old empire of Austria would not be serious even if It expressed a general concensus of Europcnn opinion, which wo believe It docs not. The only combination we need fear Is tho ordinary commercial rivalry of the Industrial states of Eu rope. In this respect Germany Is one of our most dangerous because our most Ingenious rivals. She peddles the pack of European Industries; where England wants to sell nnchors nnd cables nnd ships and steam engines, Gcrmnny Is content to vend pens nnd needles, lend pencils and pcn-knlves. The one trade brings In more money In bulk; tho other more profit. Tho American combines the solidity of tho Englishman with the dexterity of the German. This Is tho reason why he Is fenred by his commercial rivals. Nevertheless, Anglo-Snxon alliance in the sense In which we have accepted It Is being cndurlngly forged. It is no longer a moot question among Jour nalists nnd magazine writers; it has taken definite shape nnd assumed fixed colors. It demnnds nothing more on cither side than confidence and good will. Company I, of the Seventy-first reg ment, New York, has had hard luck. Not only have they suffered nil tho ptl vatlons of war but were in the trenches on July 3 nnd were unable to nnswer loll call and get their pay. Other men In the rear answered to their names and got their pay. Company I there fore had some of the heaviest fighting of that famous battle before Santiago, and yet the men have been deprived of their pay. Some of tho poor fellows had not enough to get to their home after reaching New York nnd their case hud been pitiable Indeed. Thro s a queer distribution of awards in this war. Porto Rico and Its Future. A most interesting review of the commercial possibilities of our new Island of Porto Moo has been contrib uted to tho Chicago Record by Its Ponce correspondent, Mr. Henry Bar rett Chamberlln. First of all, he notes that tho island's splendid harbors re quire docks and wharves, piers nnd Mips, anchoilng grounds and road steads made hurricane-proof and steam tugs to supercede poles nnd oars. .Moreover, of the 4G rivers that drain this well-watered Isle a majority can by simple engineering processes bi made navigable nt least for vessels of feiuall draft; and by interlocking canals oonvcrted Into a perfert system of communication between Interior and seaboard. These improvements alone open up possibilities of profit to mil lions of American capital. The abundance of waterways Is like ly to prevent largo construction of steam railways, but by means of the trolley the island can quickly and cheaply be revolutionized. Distances between populous towns are short, the natural highways In the main are good, with few insuperable grades, and the number of springs and small lakes capable of exploitation as summer or winter resorts assures, in Mr. Cliam berlln's opinion, nn immense business for street railway enterprises In Porto Rico. He adds: "While In the Imme diate construction of transportation faefTitlc-s the greatest fortunes are to bo found, there Is also large profit In the proper management of telegraph and telephone lines, Porto Rlno being quite well supplied with these means of communication, which have not been operated profitably owing to the enormous government tax. Telephones aro common In Snn Juan, Ponce and Mayaguez, nnd an morlean company already has representatives on the ground'figurlng on the extension of the system until It shall reach all parts of the island. Money Is also to be made In supplying gas and electric lighting, while tho Ice machine may bo made to ran at a profit day and night. With an increasing industrial and commercial life trade In coal for steaming purposes will be immense. Manufacturing, heretofore of small im portance, is bound to assume great pro portions. The Standard Oil company, which for some years has maintained n small rcnner ucross tho bay of San Juan, In which ciude petroleum, brought from tho United States, is re lined, has men hero investigating tho situation preparatory to extending Its plant and piping Its product through out the island." Hotel men, bicycle dealers (for Porto Rico is to ba a parndise for wheelmen) and pedagogues nro In demand already In consequence of American occupation of the island, and Mr. Chamberlln con eludes a most interesting letter with the following inspiring picture of the' vivifying influence of that occupation upon tho island's material and spiritu al side: ' Today the harbor of Ponce is crowded with 'hipping, half of the ves sols being merchantmen with goods to sell. The atmosphere Is intensely Amcrionn, a German ndventurer help ing the effect when he came yesterday with a dozen bales of American flags. He disposed of his cargo within a day, and now every carriage, ox-cart or small boat 'lies tho stars and stripes. 'Long Jive the Americans!' Is still the cry, and It Is more enthusiastic than when our soldiers first marched into town. 'Wo aro all children of Wash ington,' say the common, people, and every man walks more crent, conscious thnt he is no longer n Elave of mon archy, but as free as his brother across the sea who has driven out tho op pressor and extended the hand of fel lowehlp." Every American will certainly be glad If these hopeful forecasts shall not prove illusive. Tho NewHaven Register Is afraid that Spain, taking courage from American complaints of the Alger war department, will re-open the struggle. Very likely that would bo a welcome relief for Alger. General Casslus Clay has bought a farm for his child wife, who refuses to live with him, and has Induced her to settle down, but he has thus far been unnble to "round up" tho enter prising press correspondents who per iodically wrlto up his domestic afflictions. Copies of the new rules for the gov ernment of the Republican party In this county, In neat pamphlet form, aro now for sale at The Trlbunv counting room for 3 cents apiece . Miles nnd His Charges. General Miles, the commander-in-chief of the American army, Ib now en route homeward from Porto Rico. Soon It will nppear whether he authorized the making In his name of tho follow ing charges: 1. That although ho (Miles) was nil! dally recogrlzed us thu general com manding all tho Arrerlcun forces, the ad jutant ger.cral sent u secret dispatch to General Shatter for tho ptirpoco of giving him (Shatter) n contrary opinion. ". That tho war department mutilated and suppressed dispatches calculated to put him (Miles) nnd tho army In a falsa light beforo the people. 3. That his recommendations with refer ence to the remevu' of troops from San tiago wero disregarded, resulting In gravo consequences. 4. That General Shatter disobeyed or ders In allowing American troops to oc cupy fever-Infected houses, and In per mitting Cuban Insurgents to mingle with thu American soldiers. The Inference Is that many cases of yellow fever nmong our troops resulted from disobedience of these orders. G. That tho plans of his (Miles') Torto Rico campaign were allowed to become public, thus endangering tho success of his expedition nnd compelling him to change his wholo plan of operation. Until General Miles is here to deny or confirm the authenticity of the foregoing charges discussion of them Is necessarily based on conjecture wholly. Secretary Alger has exhibited discretion in declining to tnlk about these alleged charges until he knows whether they nre genuine or not. But wo must dissent from the secretary's opinion that what Miles shall say as to their authenticity will be none of the public's business. If Miles never au thorized the bringing of the charges tho war department should have tho benefit of a sweeping denial, ns public n.s wero the original nccusatlons. On tho other hand If he made them and meant them, a public investigation go ing to tho very bottom will bo impera tive. For it will bo observed that tho charges nffect not simply General Miles' official status alone, but tho whole churacter of the military ser vlc. If orders given in public are to bo countermanded In secret; if gen erals facing the enemy are to be gov erned by intrigue, politics or pull; If the authority vested In the commander-in-chief is Insincere and if politi cians nt Washington nro at liberty to cause the murder of soldiers at the front by disregard of expert recom mendations touching their care, cer tnlnly the matter is one whoso import nnce rises nbove a merely personal controersy and touches the. honor of the entire nation. For the sake of William McKlnley we hope that tho charges ascribed to Miles will not bo owned by him when they reach his notice. Otherwise eith er Miles, n gallant soldier with a mili tary record not surpassed by that of any other living commander, will bo disclosed as a man of unjust suspicions nnd unguarded vanity, or tho adminis tration of the war department by Sec retary Alger, the president's choice, will bo besmirched beyond apology and In Its downfall the reputation of tho president himself will inevitably be in vol ed. Wanamaker chaigcs Quay with sell ing legislation. From Wanamaker's own political merchandising it would appear that he wants to monopolize that line of trade himself. An outbreak of typhoid Is said to be Inevitable at Montnuk In the near future, but of course the soldiers will not be removed until tho outbreak oc curs. On the field of battle a soldier stands some chance of avoiding the Mauser bullet, but from red tape there is positively no escape. About all that remains for the war department now Is to try some of tho various "concentrated foods" on the suffering volunteers. The suicide of Lieutenant Colonel Henry of tho French army appears to be another mix-up of Latin honor. Queen Wllhelmlna's message to her subjects is as hopeful as the essay of a high school graduate. Captain Dreyfus, in Jail unjustly, is in danger of being made a general on horseback.

HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF. From tho New Yotk Sun. Wo began tho nineteenth century with tho acquisition of the great Louisiana territory, without which our great devcl opment of wealth and power up to Its close would not havo been possible. Wo shall begin the twentieth century with a further national expansion, the conse quences of which are likely to bo an even more Important increase of power and wealth. Czar's Dream of Universal P?ac? From tho Chicago Tlmcs-IIcrald, THE TIME Is never ilpo for tho ut terances of u great man. Ho must creato thu time. Such Is tho maxim of progress and reform, and It applies In nil Its scopo to tho ex traordinary noto addressed to the wlislo world by tho czar. Nothing llko so grand an appeal for peace on grounds that all men must rccognlzo as true has ever be fore been known In ttutpsmnnshlp. It Is nn appeal to tho common sens nnd tho common reason of mankind, and Is a practical application of tho docttlncs of tho sermon on tho mount to the rela tionship of nations ns well ns of Indi viduals. It Is a most memorablo state paper, and will cstnbllsh tho fame of Nicholas on a pedestal greater than any that can ccr be constructed for him through successful war. But nro tho nations prepared for It? When tho two great Anglo-Saxon nn tloiiB made tho Olney-I'auncefoto treaty of arbitration not two eurs ago It was praised In nlmost every language as a grand advance in civilization, but thcro wero not wanting Influential statesmen nnd critics who said that even that treaty aimed nt an Idcnl too high for humanity. If thnt wns too high, what then must bo thought of tho czar's proposal? Never theless the proposition is rot to be lightly received nor coldly rejected. A congress of tho nations such as tho czar Invites might prove of Invaluable benefit to man kind. It would do much certainly to ame liorate tho conditions of war, nnd who knows but It might reully achieve the czar's hopes? From tho Philadelphia Press. Five nations, Great Britain, Russia, France, Germany nnd Japan, nro pledged by present plnns to spend Jl.OW.OOO.OOO on their navies In the next eight yenis, or beforo 190i5. Add the recent plans pro posed for this country nnd .tho expendi ture of the seven nations will bo about $1,100,0(10,000. In IKW these six countries will be Just where they nro now. England will still have the strongest navy. Franco nnd Russia will nearly equal her strength. Japan will, ns now, he the strongest naval power In tho West Pacific, hut not stron. ger than tho combined civilized fleets. This country will bo weaker than Great Britain, Russia or Franco nnd on a parity with Germany or Japan, the bal ance being turned by tho superior char acter of our men, o But why spend $1,100,000,000 to leave the rclatlvo naval strensth of live nations where It is today? Neither battleships nor belted cruisers can be Improvised er built in secret, so that a nation could not be caught unawares nnd if tho czar Is honestly anxious to havo marine disarma ment ho can probaly secure It. Ho will, however, be very seriously hampered by tho summary breach by Russia of past treaty stipulations ns to her naval forco on tho Black Sea, the fortification of points on those waters and the creation at Batoum of an armed fort, where the czar's grandfather agreed to have only " a free port, essentially commercial." o Tho retrenchment of military forces on land Is n far moio dlllleult matter. Ex perience has shown that it Is extremely hazardous to trust to treaty compacts on this subject. By shortening the term of service and passing large bodies rapidly under drill for short times Stein suc ceeded In evading the restrictions placed on tho land armament of Prussia by Na poleon nftcr her defeat at Jena. Rou manla In tho same way evaded llko treaty provisions nnd turned out In 1S77 a far stionger force than any one antici pated. Poslblo expedients of this kind render it difficult to Insure that redac tions In armies will be carried out In good faith, but tho mere discussion of the proposal will accomplish something. LACKAWANNA POLITICS. For a Non-Partisan Judiciary. From tho Philadelphia Times. Tho princ'plo of non-partisanship In tho selection of Judges was given an ad ditional exemplification by the Lackawan na county Republlci. n convention, which nominated for additional law Judge Fred eric W. Gunster, Democrat and present Incumbent. Judgo Gunster lias served one full term on the bench, has proven himself a capable, upright judge, and Is accorded tho high honor of u unanimous renomlnatlun, tho Democrats having al ready placed him in nomination. Tho Republican Indorsement of Judge Gunster has the merit of unselfishness, as tho county Is usually Republican, and iho coming November election promises to bo no exception to this rule. While the pr.ic tlee of leaving partisanship out of tho calculation in tho election of judges is not so universal as It deserves to bo, it Is gratifj Ing to record that It is making encouraging progress In Pennsylvania. It Is to bo hoped that tho time Is not far distant when tho course adopted by the Republicans of Lackawanna will become tho rule rather than the exception. Tho duties of u judge on tho bench require tho Ignoring of every principle of parti sanship, and tho sensible plan Is to Ig nore partisanship In the election of jud ges. The Animating Spirit. From the Carbondalo Leader. Tho nomination of Mr. Connell for a second term In congress by a unanimous voto is u deserved tribute to a compe tent nnd faithful official. His record In congress is not what is often termed n "brilliant" one but It has neen charac terized by good business nnd legislative ability. Ho has served the district faith fully, looking after the special Interests of his constituents while he has been In constant attendance at tho sessions of the house. Tho record will show that few members equal him In diligent attention to bis ofllpll rllttlf.u 'Clint I,,, ii Ml i. elected goes without saying. Indeed, trom. present appearances, it will bo neaily If not quite unanimous. An Honor Well Earned. From tho Carbondale Leader. As was expected and hoped by a largo rrnjorlty of the voters of this county, the Republican county convention en dorsed tho candJdac;' of Judgo Gunster. It was a trlhuto of no small magnitude to tho ubllty and ImpartlAllty of an up. right Judge, and It was ulso a recognition of tho non-political character of the Judi cial office. Politics, In tho ordinary. ac ceptance of the term, has no placo In the administration of Justice, and wo rejolco that the Republicans of this county ha. 'a given their official sanction to that wor thy sentiment. The Will of the Majority. From the Plttston Gazette. The spirit which prompted tho unani mous renomlnntlon of congressmen who havo held up tho hands of tho president In tho lato crisis will not bo mistaken, either In party councils or by tho men who ireglster public opinion at tho ballot box. It means that nil factional differ ences have been thrust nsldo In a com mon purpose to support nn administra tion whose wisdom nnd loyalty has been so abundantly evidenced during tho past few months and whose experience and devotion to duty nre destined to bo pro ductlvo of oven rloher triumphs In tho new era of peace than those glorious vic tories of war which havo come to us on land and sea. And with tho paity thus solidly united, success In Luzerne and Lackawanna la assured. LITERARY NOTES.

There are many other articles of Interest covering a wide range of subjects, Tho war urllcies In tho September Scrlbncr's are led by Richard Harding Davis' account of "Tho Rough-Riders', Fight at Guaslmas."

What it means to ho shot nnd In bo In a field hospital expecting death has never been presented so feelingly be fore.
