COLONEL STONE'S PLATFORM.
It will bo my run note when elected to
bo conduct myself as to win tho reaped
and good will of thono who have opposed
me as well as thoho v)iq huve given me
their support. I shall bo the governor
of the whole neopla of the state. AbuuM
have undoubtedly grown up In tho legls
lature wlil li are neither the fault o one
party nor the other, but ruther Iho
growth of custom. Unnecessary Investi
gations have been authorized by commit
tees, resultlrg In unnecessary expense to
tho stale. It will be my cure and pur
pose to correct these and other evils In so
far as I havo the power. It will be my
purpose while governor of Pennsylvania,
as It has been my purpose In the public
positions that 1 havo held, with God's
help, to dlschntgo my whole duty. The
people arc greater than tho parties o
which they belong. I nm only Jealous of
their favor. I shnll only nttetnpt to win
their approval and my experience lias
taught mo that that can best bo done by
an honest, modest, dally discharge of
public duty.
Repairs on Washington avenue pave
ment are ncceptablo. Lot the good
work go on! Give the tax-payer some
thing for his money, even If It Is noth
ing but broken stone.
Come to Scranton.
The magnificent showing; made In
yesterday's parade by the Scranton
Fire Department, reflected In both the
superior appearance of the equipment
and in the splendid physique, apparel
and fellowship exhibited by the men,
goes far to justify the boast that no
city In the country having a volunteer
service is entitled to a higher rating
than our own. This is said not in
bombast but as a simple acknowledge
ment of fact.
It is to be noted that this parade
contained no visiting delegations and
no padding but was solely representa
tive of Scranton's fire-fighting service.
A cleaner, neater or better appearing
pageantry it has not been the city's
good fortune ever to witness before.
In every detail it was beyond reproach.
The Lebanon convention will do tho
firemen of Pennsylvania a signal ser
vice if It shall decide, before adjourn
ing, to assemble next jear in Scran
ton; At the close of affairs with Spain our
gentlemanly collectors will call on the
sultan and request settlement of the
long-standing account.
Stand by the Administration.
We are glad to know, upon the auth
ority of the Philadelphia Ledger, that
Hon. Charlee Emory Smith, postmas
ter general of the United States, Is con
sidering with favorable inclinations an
invitation to take the stump in this
state for Colonel Stone and the Re
publican state and congressional
ticket. The success of Republicanism
in Pennsylvania by substantial ma
jorities, with the return of the present
number of Republican congressmen, Is
a matter of scarcely less Importance to
the administration of which Mr. Smith is
fo worthy a representative than it is to
the people of Pennsylvania themselves.
That success is essential to all who
subscribe to Republican principles of
feaeral government, who arc in favor
of keeping In peace what has been won
from Spain through war, and who
consider that In the adjustment of the
problems governing this new territory
tho icn.'ces o Republican conatructUe
statesmanship are absolutely indispen
sable. We shall construe the acceptance by
Mr. Smith of this call to duty to mean
that he has not been In sympathy with
the attacke which tho Philadelphia
Press, once edited by him, has of late
been directing against Republican can
didates and interests in this state
campaign. Such a construction will,
wo think, be Justifiable when we con.
elder that only through harmony and
unity within the party at this time
ran Pennsylvania's Republican rep
lantation In the next congress be
r-Jd up to the proportions of Its ren-
fptentatlon in tho nresent consricss. Tn
lother words, party interests eo inter
Itwine that revolt at onenolnt or bo.
trujal weakens the party everywhere,
ar.d tho Republican who mlsguldedly
lends himself to such betrayal con
sciously or unconsciously works to nul
lify hla own political convictions. As a
sensible man placed where ha cannot,
fall to perceive these things, Mr. Smith
must of necessity deplore the contribu
tions which Hon. John Wanamaker,
the 'Philadelphia Press and other
rv agents and oracles of the contcmnor.
aneouA antl-Republlcan fusion con
spiracy are making to tho defeat of
Republican congressional nominees in
close districts in Pennsylvania, and
will no doubt do all In his power to
neutralize and overcome them.
An example thus eminent will natur
ally Inspire Imitation among disaffected
but reasoning Republicans who, what
ever their views of Quay or Quaylsm,
tvive too much respect Xcr President
McKinlcy and the administration at
Washington to refuse for their sake
cordial support of the present Irro
proacliablo Republican state ticket. It
will be recognised anions these Repub
licans that tho upsetting of Republi
can supremacy In congress would be
a iv unwise and an Impolitic price to
pay for the registration of a disorgan
izing "kick" concerning purely local
nnd state affairs. These minor griev
ances can be adjusted hereafter, with
out going outside party lines. In the
present campaign mendacious Demo
cratic partisan attacks have put the
national administration on the defens
ive before the people of all the states
and nil who stand by It in belief and
confidence must also support It on Nov.
8 by their votes.
The esteemed Wllkes-Barre Times
remarks to Dr. Swallow: "To allow a
man you know to bo guilty of steal
ing and to run tho streets Instead of
bringing him to Justice, Is poor citi
zenship, and bad protection to one's
neighbors." Let Swallow produce his
evidence or subside.
Prohibition.
Uy an exceedingly light vote Indica
tive of slight popular Interest In tho
matter the people of the Dominion of
Canada have registered a small major
ity in favor of the enactment of a law
prohibiting the Importation, manufac
ture and sale of lntoxlcatlrtg bever
ages. The plebiscite Is not legally
mandatory upon the Canadian parlia
ment, nnd the fact that a large nd
vcrse majority was returned in the
province of Quebec, In which the par
liament sits, is taken even by tho Pro
hblltlonist leaders themselves to war
rant doubt ns to whether the desired
legislation will 'be enacted. The Pro
hibitive theory, however, undoubtedly
gains prestige from the returns and we
may expect It to figure more promin
ently than heretofore In Canadian poli
tics. In this country while the doctrine of
statutory prohibition has many earn
est, sincere and respectable advocates
tho number of these has not grown
with sufllclent rapidity to point to an
early trial of the experiment on a large
scale. Of the more than one million
voters In Pennsylvania, for Instance,
only about 20,000 believe in Prohibition
as a distinct party issue, and this num
ber has In the past decade remained
almost stationary. At times tho Pro
hibition vote has shown rapid Jumps,
as In tho case of Dr. Swallow's candi
dacy one year ago. But this is explic
able without regard to the doctrine of
Prohibition as a party Issue; and It Is
noticeable In the present campaign that
although Dr. Swallow Is running for
office on the Prohibition party ticket
he Is holding tho doctrine of Prohibi
tion in the background and appealing
for popular support almost exclusively
upon tho platform that the present
officials of Pennsylvania are a pack of
hypocrites, embezzlers and thieves.
Should he be elected and try to use
his Influence as governor to further
the enactment of prohibitory legisla
tion his support would fall Immedi
ately to almost If not quite the former
proportlons;ln other words, he would
have behind him only a small minority.
That a majority of the citizens of
both Canada and the United States
would rejoice to see the evils of in
temperance rooted out is simply to say
that they are Intelligent and moral.
Their reluctance to attempt such a
reformation through separate political
action arises from appreciation of the
fact that the machinery thus suggested
Is Inadequate. A prohibitory law put
on the statute books but so generally
violated as to lack effectiveness would
represent rather a loss than a gain to
public morals. On the other hand, at
tacks upon intemperance through non
partisan methods, as by education In
the schools showing Its evils, morul In
lluences and suasion by church and
home and organized social effort to
guide aright individual action and at
titude with respect to overindulgence
In strong drink are shown by statis
tics to be succeeding steadily. There
is far less Intoxication In proportion to
the population today than there was
twenty, ten or even five years ago, and
the moderation of llquor-drlnkcrs Is in
creasing yearly.
Continuance of the agitation for pro
hlbitory legislation no doubt acts as a
stimulus to temperance reform work of
other kinds and is not, therefore, with
out value; yet as a panacea It Is, In
Itself, under present conditions, obvi
ously hopeless.
There was more than state politics In
Piatt's taking up of Roosevelt. When
Teddy becomes presidential timber
Thomas will no doubt find it very ad
tageous to bo on good terms with him.
Probing to the Bottom.
As an Instance of tho thoroughness
with which the Commission of Inquiry
proposes to prosecute Its investigation
of the detailed management of the war
It is interesting to note that it has ar
ranged to visit Santiago, take notice
of the actual physical conditions there
nnd acquire direct personal knowledge
regarding points at issue with refer
ence to tho handling of troops nnd sup
plies during that extraordinary cam
paign. It will also cross-examine Gen
erals Miles, Shatter, Wheeler and Al
ger and possibly others, also looking
into the causes which led to tho Roose
velt "round robin." Simultaneously It
proposes to hear from tho principal
officers of the various Manila expedi
tions and from all other persons, in or
out of the service, who havo com
plaints, information or suggestions to
offer. The only requirement in any
case Is that those who volunteer infor
mation or criticism will have the man
liness to do so in writing, over their
own signatures, so that they can be
called as witnesses if thought neces
sary. Such an inquiry, proceeding abso
lutely without political motive or bias,
and having In view no other purpose
than the establishment of the truth
about tho management of the war, will
command from the beginning the con
fidence of the country nnd by its thor
ough work completely refute the small
partisan spirit which would In so mo
mentous and vital a matter introduce
the clement of party politics. This
commission represents both civil and
military life, both the political parties
and all the section; In an unusual
degree it Is representative of tho best
that there Is In American citizenship
and its Instructions from the president
give it unconditional scope. Well-balanced
Americans, therefore, may well
trust It without reserve.
The Inability of tho Spanish gov
ernment to furnish means to remove
troops from Cuba Is liable to transform
the Spanish soldiers Into reconcentra
dos. Turn about would ba fair play.
Tho Cuban Army.
General Collazo, tho Cuban who re
cently represented Garcia at Washing
ton In conferences with Geneinl Miles,
is now dissatisfied because the United
Slates docs not pay off tho Cuban
army. He says we ought to loan the
money and collect It from the Cuban
republic when established, his argu
ment being that the Cubans need this
pay at once to keep thorn from starva
tion und enable them to return to
work.
The objection to this plan is that
until a Cuban republic embracing the
whole Island is established wo cannot
know whether a majority of the peo
ple of Cuba are willing to be taxed to
pay off tho Cuban Insurgents, who rep
resent only a portion of the native pop
ulatlon. For us to force such a debt
on tho new republic arbitrarily In ad
vance would bo unjust and might bo
resented by It.
What the United States should do,
and, we are pleased to note, is doing
around Santiago, Is to provide every
honest destitute Cuban with a chance
to earn an honest living until the Isl
and's economic situation Is in shape
to permit the establishment of a stable
Cuban government nnd to warrant the
withdrawal of our support. Then the
Cubans themselves can settle tho
question of paying oft the Insurgent
army.
In tho election of last year Beaconi,
Rep., for state treasurer, received 372,-
448 votes, to 242,731 for Brown, Dem.i
und 118,969 for Swallow, Pro. a total
poll of 734,148. The year before the total
poll had been 1,168,326, a falling oft of
434,178, by which the Republicans suf
fered to tho extent of 334,550 votes and
the Democrats to the extent of 178,323,
tho Prohibitionists gaining 98,703. From
theso figures It is evident that tho chief
obstacle for tho Republican campaign
managers to overcome this year is the
apathy of the Republican voters during
so-called "off year" campaigns.
Whether Dr. Swallow shall get 100,000
or 200,000 votes will matter little pro
vided the Republicans make due effort
to hold their own. No Republican, in
any event, will vote for Swallow who
carca for the interests of his party.
A Blnghamton lawyer will endeavor

When tho ambitious BInghamtonlan
gets through with tho task he will
probably feel like an El Caney block
house that had been Interviewed by the
light artillery.
Tho parade of 10,000 men, who have
resolved to abandon the habit of
swearing, In Brooklyn the other day
ought to be an object lesson to the
entire country. When ten thousand
men can be found In Brooklyn who will
refrain from profanity there Is no ex
cuse for swearing in any other locality.
Tnc fine parade of yesterday demon
strated anew the excellence of Scran

omphaslzed the fact that theso splen
did servants should all bo put on a
paid basis.

Needed-a Western
Otiilef for Wh?af.
From a Recent Speech by J. J. Hill, Presi
dent of tho Great Northern Railroad.
E MUST, as a nation, find new
people to trado with; wo must,
as a nation find peoplo who
will buy our products; peo
plo who havo heretofore not
bought our products; wo must have more
than ono customer, and wo can. 1 will
briefly suggest how wo may. If this coun
try would encourage tho upbuilding of a
merchant marlno to curry our products
to tho markets whero they will bring the
most money, I might say that a ship of
llvo thousand tens capacity, leaving tho
Pacific coast every day In the year, would
carry 1,500,000 tons annually across tho
Pacific ocean to Asia. What would It
cost? A bonus of l'i per ton would Insure
tho building of ships as fast as the ship
yards could turn them out. Two dollars
per ton would amount to ?a,000,000 per
year. The amount that I men
tioned, $3,000,000 a year, for ten years,
would not amount to any moro than tho
river and harbor bill, which has paid so
many political debts und. done so llttlo
good. Three millions of dollars U a small
sum for this nation to pay for tho benefit
that would come to tho peoplo.
o
Why do I say to take the products or
tho Pacific states and carry them to Asia?
I say that, If tho surplus wheat from the
Pacific coast was carried to Asia, In placo
of bolng carried to Europe, to there com.
pete with the agricultural products of the
states cast of tho Rocky mountains, you
would advance tho price of wheat from 10
to 20 cents per bushel. It would reduce
tho exports to Europa from tho United
States from 100,000,000 bushels to 6O,OOU,000
or 70,000,000 a year, and that 00,000,000 or
70,000,00 a year from tho Atlantic states Is
held until tho foreigner Bends hla order
here to buy It. Not so with that from tho
Pacific coast. It is gathered together ana
loaded on ships and sent on a lour
months' voyago to Europe to find a mar
ket, and when It arrives it Is sold at
auction for what It will bring, The ship
cannot wait -to find a customer, A man
goes Into any exchange In Kurono nnd
what does ho see? Tho first thing, "Ort
go n and California to arrive, 20,000,000,"
und he Is not in a hurry to send over here
to buy in advance. Tho Pacific coast ex
ports affect the price over the entire coun
try, moro than twice the number of bush
els would bo lying tn Diiluth. Minneapolis,
nuffolo, New York, or Chicago, it is
forced to go there. They know It ns well
as we do, and they buy It at their own
prlco.
o
If we can take It to Asia and find new
peoplo to cat It, we will have taken one
step In the rlsht direction. Go back ami
read tho history of the world. The nation
W
that has controlled -tho trade of the
Orient has held the purse strings of the
world.
AN ATTRACTIVE FIGURE.
From tho Washington Star.
Tho man who heads the New Yoric
Republican ticket Is a highly attractive
national figure, ltc posccssch all tho at
tributes of leadership undaunted cour
age, unlmpcarhnblo character, a very
high order of cnparlty, and, for so youns
a man, an unusually varied cxpcrlcnco in
the conduct of public affairs. Few men
In our history havo at' tho uge of forty
registered an unbroken list of triumphs
In tho tltrso fields of municipal, Bluto and
national activities. And, to cup It all, he
has added u military triumph to his chic
list, and appeals to the enthusiasm us
well as to the confidence of tho country.
PLAYS AND PLAYERS.
Miss Alice Nellson, formerly of the Uos
tonlaiis. Is the comlo opera prima donna
par excellence that the season has tnur.
far produced. She made her debut ns a
star In Now York Monday night In "The
Fortune Teller," which Is the Joint work
of Harry B. Bmlth und Victor Herbert.
The well-known dramatic critic Alan Dole
says of her work:
"Miss Nellson may be the star, but 1
am not going to Insult her by calling her
a prima donna. In tho now work of the
nstonlshlng Harry B. Smith, nnd the
stirring Herbert, Miss Nellson Is wlso
enough to steer herself away from lire
works and tho ubuuI prima donna non
sense. She simply displays her peerless
youth; her quaint llttlo soubrctte arch
ness, und her pretty cultivated voice.
There Is nothing of tho prima donna
about her. She. Isn't fat; her most vlru
lent enemies couldn't call her old, and
wo havo heard nothing about Iter dia
monds, her husbands, her pug dogs, 'or
her grand opera nmbltlcns.
"This Is such a novelty that 1 venture
to emphasize Miss Nellson bclore tho
opera in which sho nppcars. Allco Nell
son is charming Just ns charming with
out that fossilized barkground with which
wo last saw her. Bho looks young, even
beside tho chorus girls who uro none of
them aged nnd ugly, and a young wo
man who can sing as well ns she does,
and hold her own through the must laby
rtnthlncly Impossible comic opera rolo I
havo over seen, Is going to make her
mark. Miss Nellson. dramatically, Is not
a Bernhardt. She Is merely a musical
soubrctte, who can do a "coon" song its
well as a high-falutln ballad full ot !-love-you-so.'
And it isn't often that a
soubrctte creeps into opera.
"I hope that Alice Ncilson's head will
not bo turned by her prosperity. It Is
such a pretty, Bhapely, youthful little
noddlo that It Is worth while keeping It
as level as possible. "The Fortuno Tell
er" has certainly received Its New .York
'indorsement." A more exuberant second-night
audience I have seldom seen.
And wo all know that first-night audi
ences don't count."
When Burr Mcintosh nppciirs here In
tho new play, "A Wnr Correspondent,"
he will Interpret the rolo ol u newspaper
reporter. Wo have seen lots of pluys
wherein the newspaper man has been de
pleted as cither a low comedian with
monkey face and manners or n sop-head,
cd, simpering young thing with note book
and pencil, it will Indeed bo a pleasuro
to seo a play that represents the much
abused reporter In his true light. Mr.
Mcintosh was a newspaper man borore
ho was an nctor, and since the close or
last season he served In Cuba In tho
capacity ot war correspondent. Surely
Mcintosh's stage newspaper man ought
to be the real thing. Ho Is to start his
starring tour at Washington, D. C, on
Oct. 10. The new comedy. "A War Cor
respondent," was written for him by Lot
tie Blair Parker, author of "Way Down
East." Mr. Mcintosh will appear at the
Lyceum theater in this city on Oct. 21
and 22. It is only a few mouths ago that
Mr. Mcintosh went to Washington in a
hurry. Ho remained thcro Just Ion;
enough to get his credentials and rushed
off to Port Tampa to join the Cuban ex
pedition that went to Santiago under
commnnd of General Shatter. Ho was
present at the battle of Sun Juan H'.lghts
and escaped Injury from the Spanish bul
lets, although ho is big enough to bo a
good target for oven n Spanish marks
man. But he could not eludo tho tovor
germ and was the first American to bo
stricken, but not until he had taken ubout
four hundred pictures of Important inci
dents and places, many of which havo
been reproduced by the press througnout
the country.
Sol Smith Russell's now comedy, "Undo
Dick," had Its first presentation In Blng.
hamton Monday night, and was exceed
ingly well received. It Is from tho pon
of Martha Morton, who wroto "A
Bachelor's Romance" for Mr. Russell.
Tho story of the comedy briefly Is as tol
lows. "Rlchurd Thomas Sherman, 'Undo
Dick', son of an Iron manufacturer, rest
less and ambitious, tired of the routine
of llfo In the foundry town, forsakes his
home nnd goes out Into tho world In
search of adventure. Ho accumulates
wealth which brings him no happiness.
After years, weary and cynical, a lonely
man, he turns to his kindred onco more,
longing for the simplicity of his old home.
Ho finds, to his great disappointment,
only a reflection of the world ho turned
his back on, his brother's wife and fam
ily eager to sacrifice everything ho held
sacred, for money, social position and a
deslro for fame. Seeing tho futility of an
open resistance, he resorts diplomacy,
and his keen knowlodgo of human na
ture. To savo his kindred from the mis
takes which wrecked his own life, he en
courages their wildest schemes and places
In their hands the means to realize them.
He Is obliged to report to many Ingenious
devices to provo to them tho real value
of what they have thrown away. Wheio
they expected triumph und happiness
they find only humiliation and defeat.
Natural reaction setting In, they realize
that 'Undo Dick,' whom they considered
their worst enemy, Is In reality their
truest friend." Mr. Russell's delineation
of tho character Is ono of the best bits of
character work he has dune for soma
time.
Frank Ehret. son of George Ehrct, the
famous New York brewor, was married
