COLONEL STONE'S PLATFORM.
It will lie my purpose when elected to
so i:imdiii't inynelf u to v.ln tho respect
nnd pond will of those who have opposed
me m well as thoi.p who have Riven mo
their pui'pc.il I i hall be the governor
of thu whole peopl if tho Blate. Abuses
hae undoubtedly fiiown up In the legls
laturo whldi are neither the fault of one
party nor the other, but rather (he
ciouth of ciiftoin. Unnecessary invostl
putlons hae been authorized by commit
tees, rcsultlrw In unnccCFf.iry expense to
tho Btale. It will be my enre and pur
pose to corirct tl:oo und oilier evIW In eo
far as 1 hno the power. It will be my
purpose while governor of Pcnu?lvanla,
ns It has been my purpose In the public
positions that 1 have bold with God's
help, to dlschitrcn my whole duty. Tho
people arc crenKr than the patties o
which thev belong. I am only Jealous of
their favor. I shall only attempt to win
'heir npprnvol and my experience has
taught me that that can beat be done by
nn honest, modest, dally discharge of
public duty.
The antl-Quny Republican who shall
vote for Dr. f-'wallow for governor will
not hurt Quay, who is a cunilldnto for
mother otTlco. He will simply do In
jury to Colonel Stone, n good, lenn
Kepubllcan, find show a want of con
fidence In hl.s party which the party lt
feclf does not deserve.
Copperlieadism.
When tho Thirteenth regiment boys po
tltloned the secretary of war to bo tent
to tho front, and the Times commended
their spirit, and urged that their wish bo
granted, The Tribune meeringly and cov
citly asserted 'the Times was anxlouo to
have Its fi lends and neighbors placed In
danger. When the war was ended and
the Thirteenth boys announced, with one
exception, their rieslro to bo mustered out,
Tho Trlbuno argues It Is tho duty of the
leglment to icmaln In set vice, to gu.ird
against eventualities, that Spain may
want mote thrashing. Front all that can
bo gleaned, when tho men wanted to get
Into tho fight, the olllcers UFed their pull
to get off of the list for the Philippines
and now tho lighting Is done, the olitceis
aru ready for gatilsou duty in Cuba, with
hlg pay and easy times. Tho Tribune's
pohltlon Is In otccrd wilh Its usual policy.
Scranton Times.
Our contemporary's first pentence la
an unprovoked falsehood, Known to ba
such when penned. Tho Tribune lias
nexer jnecred at any mattpr connect
ed with the welfare of the Thirteenth.
On the contrary, lroin the day the
regiment left home until tho present
It has contributed In every way within
Its power of space, money nnd Influ
ence for the regiment's benefit. It Is
willing that Its record In this nspeet
should be compared with that of the
Scranton Tinas.
As to the stntement that It Is tho
duty ot tho Thirteenth to servo until
honorably dlich.uged no honest man
can Imvo two opinions. Contemptible
us? the Times paragraph Is, it can
l.uidly have been meant as an encour
agement to x Inlatlou of a sacred oath
and to the wout offcn.se in tho military
code, desertion.
Properly to conduct the duties ot the
Rovernorshlp of a gieat commonwealth
Jilte Pennsylvania lequlres substantial
-xcutle 'illllty and woll-iounded
public experience. The sensational ac
cusallvf ternper.inient of a "lighting
parson" tuny miilw plenty of news but
It Is no inde. of sobe, executive power.
A Grand Old Man.
As the troublesome days of Cuban
leconstuictlou grow nearer the figure
of Cuba's grand jla man, Jlaxlmo
iinmez, looms up lamer and finer than
eei. At tho age ""-t "I this veteran
tighter Kit "a counsol to tho people of
Cuba which Indicates Ills possession of
iiu.ilitles of genulm leadership. For
himself, ho wants nn oillco and yearns
to leturn to his own home In San Do
mingo. Uut for his colleagues in tho
Cuban revolution he wants Justice and
h'lp, nnd to both they aio inanlfestly
entitled.
To a coi respondent of the tabid Span
ish paper, the DIarlo do la Minimi of
Havana, who Interviewed hlni recently
at Caibarlcn, General Gomez gave a
statement ot which the following Is an
outline, the words being the interview
er's own: "In regard to the situation
In Cuba, Gomez Is of the opinion that
there Is need of work, since tho war
has left the country In a disastrous
economic situation. He says that It h
necessary to give It i chance to take
breath by re-establishing the normal
order by means ot the efforts of Span
lards from the peninsula und Cubans
without distinction. They must forget
their grudges nnd set to work. Gomez
thinks of floating a loan; he needs the
assistance of all; he wants the money
to establish works; ho does not ask
for public subscriptions or presents; he
will take the money, paying a moder
ate Interest. He declares that If to
make tho revolution and start the war
he burned property, learnt' families In
misery, he must restore them to pros
perity by means of work. If having
made the loan he finds himself unable
to repay It, ha will aslt his fellow
countrymen for the money In order not
to break his promise. Ho thinks the
revolution Is In need of the autono
mists. The revolutionary party has the
men of action, the nutonomlsts havo the
men of education. He says that the
revolution has no wish to cut off any
one; It wants honest men without In
quiring whence they come. Its pro-gramme-
Is pence, fuigetfulness, work,
morality, justice,"
Te testimony of all wo have come In
contnet with Gomez Is that, whatever
his defects of temper, he Is the per
sonification of honor, .lust now his
position is sttlklngly nnomnlous. Ilcc
ognlzcd neither by his ostensible Ameri
can friends nor by his Spanish antagon
ists, und without tho means of turn
ing his armed forces Into Immediate
producers, he can only await the day
when our government undertakes seri
ously the problem that Gomez himself
Is unable to solve. Thus fur wu huve
made no provision on any adequate
scale for the encouragement of agricul
ture nnd Industry In Cuba and the em
ployment of Its destitute population.
We have no doubt that when tho real
start Is made by us In that direction
thcic will bo no more helpful auxiliary
than Maximo Gomez.
Colonel 'Bryan's regiment having
been designated for Harrison duty In
Cuba the -public will soon bo able to
decide whether his motives In enlisting
were patriotic or spectacular.
The Menace of Swallowlsm.
The Harrlsburg organ of the Swallow
movement sticks to Its stench with a
persistency worthy of a more decent
cause. It Is now at John Wannmal-.cr's
throat because that gentleman, be It
said to his credit, has announced that
personalities should not enter Into the
prevalent political discussion in Penn
sylvania. It argues thai because n man
Is bcfoie the public for consideration
as a candidate for public ofllre theie
should be no tcstralnt upon those hec
toring scandal-mongers who are always
ready at the signal of command to
scoop the sewers for mud with which
to bedaub the candidate's private life
and thiow odium upon his ptivat"
character. It wants not only liberty of
public ciltlclsm but also unbridled
license of private defamation.
The organ of the Swallow movement,
as well as the reverend leader of that
movement himself, will learn ere long
that tho public does not sustain them
on this point. Wc ventuio to say that
If their code of ethics weie to bu legiti
matized there Is not a citizen of Scran
ton, however clean and pure, who could
not be set up as a target for scandal
throwing and by ingenious combination
of slander, suspicious surmise and
malicious interpretation of private acts
In themselves entirely Innocent, made
to uppear before the public gaze as i
monster of Immorality, a satyr, hypo
crite and lothario of tho rottenest type.
In the nature of things those who give
currency to such menduclous concoc
tions In good faith cannot know of
their tiuth. They enn only think them
true. Hut whose Is the hand so Just
and unerring that In It may safely ho
lodged authority to use a political
weapon so likely to do gross Injustice
and to caue in circles wholly apart
from politics In the homes, among In
nocent women and children so much
undeserved anguish and suffering?
Surely not Dr. Swallow's, a man whoo
Intemperance of speech and hastiness
of accusation without proof have nl
ready caused .one conviction for libel
and, but for the opportunity which It
would give him in the present disturbed
state of public opinion to pluy the lole
of martyr, would probably soon cause
another.
We assure the Haiiisburg Common
wealth that. In emphasizing our disap
proval of the obscene tactics of the
New York Voice crowd, which It nirJ
Dr. Swallow endorse with such unction
and fervor, wo have no anxiety what
ever for Senator Quay, the man at
whom Its mud-butteiles are now aimed.
He Is not new to that kind of abuse.
Piobably no man In public life Is mote
philosophical about It and less sensitive
to It than he. What we contend is that
If the light to use private scandal as
a weapon In politics Is sanctioned by
the votes of the people of Pennsylva
nia the slight restraint heretofore
existing upon political discussion will
Immediately disappear and there will
be such a saturnalia of obscenity und
filth us to deter every honest and sen
sitive man from aspiring to usefulness
In public life and thus give command
of politics more firmly than ever to the
unprincipled, the vicious and the vile.
This, In the present situation, Is the
real menace of Swallowlsm.
A canvass of the leading newspapers
of the country representing all parties
and sections has been made by the Lit
erary Digest with a view to ascertain
ing their Judgment as to the future of
the Philippine Islands. Replies were
lecelved from 19J papers. Of these, SI
want all the Inlands retained perma
nently by the United States; C3 want
American possession limited to a naval
station: and the remainder fuvor
either nn Amcilcan protectorate, a
Joint protectorate or the sale ot the
Islands us Indemnification for our war
expenses. If to the S4 papers that want
outilght and Immediate American
ownership we add the 'JO papers that
favor un American protectorate, the
total represents a clear majority fur
retention. Of these 101 papers 51 are
Republican, 25 Democratic, and 16 In
dependent, the politics ot the others
not being specified. Of the C3 papers
that want American ownership in the
Philippines restricted to a naval sta
tion simply, 14 are Republican, 28
Democratic and 15 Independent, others
not spcrltled. Thu significant feature
of the poll Is that not u single paper
favors the return of n square Inch ot
captured territory (o Spain.
It Is said that when Colonel Roose
velt becomes a civilian he will show
that the private letter from him to
Secretary Alger which Alger so Im
prudently and disastrously made pub
lic, coupling It with a boomerang re
buke, was deliberately garbled. It is
further said, nnd we do not doubt, that
had the whole letter been published it
would have made plnln to the public
that Roosevelt's apparent dlsparase
ment of the volunteers was directed
not at all toward the volunteers as
men but to the Inferiority of the equip
ment which the war department had
Issued to them, Colonel P.oofovcU hard
ly ncds to defend himself against a
mail like Aleer, yet for tha truth of
history this letter Incident ought to bo
cleared up.
One J. R. Rice, the "cowboy evangel
1st," nnd his wife, whose visit to Scran
ton three years ngo was fruitful In
excitement, hnve stormed that citadel
of sin, New York city. The other night
In Twenty-fifth street, near Uroadway,
Mrs, Rice climbed upon a soap box
and Informed a gaping throng that
the world was fast going to pcidltlon,
that a majority of the women of the
United States are bad and that things
In general nre horrifying In the ex
tieme. The chronlclo from which we
glean this Information makes no men
tion of the taking up of a collection,
but It seems ltaidl likely that the
"cowboy evangelist" nnd his defama
tory spouse ui(! doing this kind of
business for their health.
The new superintendent of the pub
lic schools of Chicago, Dr. Andrews,
recently asked permission to sit with
tho board ot education during Its ses
sions, with right of speech but without
u vote. The request has been refused.
Tho Chicago school board, like some
members of school boards not so far
away, does not believe In running the
school system according to the wishes
ot qualified educators; it Is In the
business for more relfish purposes.
The owIh nnd bats, tho reptiles nnd
vampires nnd rats ot Penrsylvunla poll
tics and the machine, press, hoot nnd llut
tcr und hiss and moan and squeal, be
cause the sunlight of exposure and tho
wlndi of popular wrath are driving them
into their dark haunts and filthy, noxious
holes. This Is dedicated with affection
ate regal d to lite Scranton Tribune. Dr.
Swallow's HuTlsburg Commonwealth.
Don't get excited so early In the
game. At this rate It Is doubtful If
you can hold out until November.
The papers of the state -which give
prominence to reports from Camp
Meade describing an alleged spirit of
mutiny In tho ranks of the Thirteenth
leglment must view the subject
through magnifying glasses. We will
not believe that the enlisted men In
this regiment nte forgetful of their
duties us soldiers or lacking In either
patriotism or obedience.
Colonel Roosevelt has caused tho fact
to be made known that he will not ac
cept nn Independent nomination for
governor of New York If It Is Intended
to undercut the regular Republican or
ganization. He Is his own proprietor,
politically, but he Is a straight-out Re
publican nnd not a factlonist.
It Is queer with what persistency the
Woman's Christian Temperance union
opposes the custom of breaking a bottle
of wine at the christening of each new
battleship. One would think that from
the standpoint of temperance reform
the more wine spilled into the ocean
the better.
The shaking up at Cump Meade the
other day Is an Indication that the
medical heads of the war department
are beginning to realize that It Is ne
cessary to locate the blame for some ot
the mistakes of the past when the In
vestigation blizzard arrives.
Notwithstanding the unkind things
that have been said about Agulnaldo
In the newspapers, one cannot but ad
mire the Malay chief's judgment In
holding on to his shooting Irons until
It Is decided who Is to manage the
Philippine circus.
The friends of Governor Ulack, of
New York, are putting up a gallant
tight for his renomlnatlon, but It is
love's labor lost. The people, without
disparaging Ulack, at this time want
Roosevelt.
The murder of Rrltish subjects In
Ctete will probably prove the most ex
pensive pastime In which the followers

The problem of rooting out anarchy
will be solved In Kurope when govern
ments become Just and social condi
tions approximately equitable.
The silence of Don Cailos and Duke
Palmer upon questions of Importance
to Spain and Hawaii Is becoming op
pre&slve. If General Miles Is really running
things now the public can rest as
sured that they will be run better.

A correspondent complains that his son,
Just mustered uut of the volunteer army,
la refused reinstatement In his former
position, although befoie enlistment ho
was given poMtlvo nssurnneo by his em
ployer that his place would bo open for
him on his return. If such a promise
was given and now Is repudiated, It Is n

The Necessity for
fln Investigation
From tho Phlludi-lphlii Press.
NQEIRIUH Into defeat have been fro
ciuci.t in history. Investigations Into
victory hnvo been rare. Secretary
AIhc-i' nnd President McKlnloy tut
both rluht, the one hi asking ulid tho
oilier In oiderliig un Inquiry Into all the
defects or failures In our military sys
tem made apparent by succosslul war.
Such an Inquiry Is Just to Bceretary Al
ger, whom It will te-llevo from personal
attacks, under which ho now suffers. Jt
will be Just to thu organlrutton of tho
nimy, bicau' It will show who was In
competent and who was not and how
largo a sh-ire of failure was due itlouo to
a bad system. Lastly, It is just to tho
country, which chose to go to war with
out prcpaiatlon, that It should know the
bitter cost of military umcadlncss and
begin un adequate provision for future
contingencies
o-
Nnthlng came ot tho manifold congics
sional Imestlgaticns Into tho conduct of
tho civil war. Much should result from
the Investigation ubout to be orducd by
President MeKlnley Into the conduct of
tho last war. In both wars the west
evils wcro those of system nnd not ot
men. The congressional Inqultlcs of thlr-ty-llvo
years ngo, llko most conducted by
committees at the capital, bought to Im
plicate men and provide victims, not to
Investigate a system und bccuro reform.
They fulled, as personal Investigations
always will fall. In giving the country
nny permanent improvement of lis mili
tary system.
o
The military commission which Prc-il-dent
MeKlnley Is about to appoint itt the
icqucst ot Socrelnry Alger hns bctuic
It tho operations of u war in which til
umphaut success has been secured In spite
of the manifold shortcomings of the os
tein under which It has been conducted.
At every stage M'tno part of the military
system to which the country trusted
broke down. Tho National guurd failed
first. A huge share of the men were un
equal to the standard for enlistment. Art
tqitato camp equipment was lacking. The
weapon in use wus nntlquated. The ol
llcers have proved lo be almost nltogotlvr
untrained In tho most Important duty of
tho otllcer, tho care of the men in camp.
No one man was at fault for this, the
system was nt fault.
o
In spite of great energy, of substan
tial success nnd at many points of bril
liant achievement, the vailous paits of
tho aimy stalf showed llko deficiencies.
Tho transport of SL'.OOO men beyond sea
In ninety days Is a feat of which any
European staff would bo proud; but while
carrying out with signal bucccss tho larg
er needs of the war. tho quartermaster's
department was slow In providing uni
forms, derelict in moving particular reg
iments, picked unhealthy camp sites and
was plainly lacking in Intelligent gnup of
the details of disembarkation at Santi
ago. With an efficient foe these failures
would havo brought defeat, and their In
vestigation Is Imperatively demanded.
o
Where, as hi tho regular army iegl
ments, the commissary department was
supplying regiments familiar with tho use
ot army rations, It was reasonably suc
cessful. It utterly failed In providing lood
tor regiments less trained. In lecdlng
slnglo commnnds In transit and in ar
ranging for the changu ot ration ten
dered necessary by tho change of opera
tions to a tropical climate. For this last
there was no excuse, and tho commis
sary department, considering that Its
chiefs have always known that war would
bring tho supply of rations to untrained
men, was bound to be ready for this
difficulty. No ono was ready and tho
nrmy has suffered In nlmost every vol
unteer regiment because the men did not
know how to mnko good use of their in
tlons and too often the olllcers did not
understand how to provide their regi
ments with rations while in transit. The
medical service has mado a brilliant rec
ord In its caio of wounded men In the
field and an utter failure In the sanitary
euro of men In camp nnd In the working
of Its system of a division and regimental
sen-Ice. As the official leport on Camp
Thomas abundantly shows, tho regiment
al hospitals were dislocated to equip
tho division hospitals and the latter were
i-ot made equal lo tho needs, either camp
or field,
o
Lastly, what In Europe would be called
tho general staff, has been plainly de
ficient, outsldo of Porto Rico, In a com
prehensive plan. In tho general handling
and direction of troops and In any pte
vlous scheme whntever for mobilizing the
National guard and bringing It Into or
ganization with tho regular urmy. Nor
has thero been tho Initiative and pro
vision In all the divisions of the war de
partment demanded. The lacks at open
ing every ono excused. War was Its own
c-xciibo nt Santiago. Rut at Camp Wlkolt
there were lacks which came too late for
the first excuse and too near a base for
the excuso open ut Santiago.
o
The Spanish war presents In short su
preme success In result, gteat energy In
action and a eoiibtunt succession of fail
ures In detail and In organization which
with an enemy equal to taking advant
age of them would have brought con
dign disaster. Conditions llko these plain
ly demand tho dispassionate Investiga
tion ot the military system, organization
and personnel under which they occurred.
Secretary Alger lightly demands nn In
quiry which will distribute tho responsi
bility for evils ho has borne alone nnd
which havo been made tho ground of bit
ter personal attack. How far the secre
tary is himself responsible only Inquiry
will show, but tho country needs this In
vestigation more than the secretary, Fcr-
sons disappear; systems endure. The next
war will not be fought by tho same per
sons, but It will bo by tho samu faulty
system, unless a searching Investigation
leveals to the nation tho need for a re
form of our nrmy organization by reveal
ing tho truo cause of the falluics In this
war.
A LESSON FOB US.
From the Philadelphia Press.
The English army has been fed, moved
and cnied for with faultless skill on the
Nile. It has been half-btatved and han
dled with Impotent failure In the man
euvers Just over In England.
Tho staff of tho Auglo-Egyptlan army
Is organized on tho Gorman plan, In one
coherent, well-knit, homogeneous body, all
of whose parts are under the direct und
Immediate control ot the general In com
mand, Sirdar Kitchener. Tho staff ot the
English army In England, like ours, Is
split up Into separate and Independent
departments, each with Its own head,
each of whom is always certain that all
Is just right in tho field because tho light
orders have been Issued and tho right
papers signed. If anything goes wrong
ho Is always posltlvo It Is somebody's else
fault.
England, after Its experience In these
maneuvers, Is certain to reorguiilzo Its
staff. How long will It bo before the
United Stati'3 docs the samo?
