We nre glnd to leavn from the locnl
Democratic organ that Candidate
Jenks H the soldlm'Y friend, t'erhaps
our contemporary Is referring to the
soldiers who wore the Gray. Jenks
fought Lincoln nt every turn, opposed
giving thy Union s-o!dlern at the front
the right to vole and was one of the
foremort of what the loyal people of
tha North, with scant reverence, used
to vail Copperheads. Unlike Colonel
Stone nnd Generals' Gobln and Lutt.i,
his fighting was all done In the rear.
Mako n Rush to Victory.
It Is rumnied that nt the lust minute
Swallow or jrnk will retire nnd an
effort will be made to combine their
votes against Stone. Jf any retiring Is
to be done, It would of course have
to bo done b Dr. Swallow, who as nn
independent candidate has no party
organization behind him and is politi
cally stiong only ho far as the Wnna
niaker combination loans him strength
In its campaign of revenge upon Sen
ator Quay. Wo do not know how
mnnj of Dr. Swallow's supporters who
have come to hlir. temporarily from
the Itepurilcan ranks would be willing
to be transform! bodily over to u
Democratic fieo s-llveille nnd free
trader. To go that far would be equiv
alent to stultification of every past
declaintlon of party principle and be
lief, nnd therefore we doubt if .such
a wholesale delivery could bo effected
if attempted.
Hut the fact that the possibility of
such n moe is already being discussed
In the pi ess of this unci other states
ought to Indicate to everv loyal 7te
publlcan the urgent need of energy nnd
activity In party service. The sacri
fice of this great commonwealth to the
Democratic p.uty two years after It
had tecoideU for Republican policies
the largest popular majority ever given
in an Ameiican slate would be a na
tional tulsfoitune which every voter
contributing to it would hove reason
lo regret. It would throw a wet blan
ket upon Hepuhllean enthusiasm from
Maine to California and give an Im
nienho Impetus- to the revolutionary In
tluejices which the people so strikingly
repudiated In the uresldentlul contest
of lS3t. The carrying of Pennsylvania
by Jenkn ns the reult of deals made
with Wannmiker nnd his co-eonsplra-tors
would injure and humiliate Sen
ator Quay nnd his Immediate clrclo of
friends fnr less than it would wound
and cripple tho Ilepubllcan rnuse
throughout the nation, embarrass the
president anl cabinet in their formu
lation of policies growing out of tho
war. and clothe with new power for fu
ture mischief tho least trustworthy
elements In our public life. As n, meth
od of party regeneration It would bo
equally as futllo as wero the two elec
tions of Paulson, while us a means
of preparation for the important pres
idential campaign of 1900 it would tiom
a Republican point of view bo blniply
suicidal.
A result so disastrous to the best
Interests of the people can be averted
If those Republicans In Pennsylvania
who have not been carried off their
feet by false representation and spe
cious deception will in the few days
that remain before election take their
coats off and get to work for tho party
cause. Apathy among Republicans
should not exist. Thought of this as
an off year should cease. Tho vital
nature of the emergency before the
voters should be made plain to waver
ing Republicans and preparation
fchould be perfected to bring out every
Republican vote. Lot the contest con
clude with a rush to victory.
The dangers of the "Mother Hub
bard" enclne were shown up at Sus
quehanna the other night In ft startling-
manner. On the "Mother Hub
bard" the apartments of fireman nnd
engineer are some distance npart and
It Is not eaey for them to communi
cate with each other. On Monday
night the fireman, noticing that tho
train wns moving at a frlehtful rato
of speed, climbed over the engine and
forcing his way Into the cab found tho
engineer dead nt the throttle. The sen
sation caused In New York some years
ago, when n ferry boat pilot dropped
dead and a boat lond of passengers
drifted In terror for n time, prompted
the feiry companies to keep an extra
pilot on every boat. The Invention
that Isolates the man nt the throt
tle on n railroad train Is certainly one
that Miould not be encouraged.
Hctter reports have leached the Re
publican congressional committee con
cerning tho political probabilities of the
next congress. A Republican wnjorlty
Is now expected but It ennnot be con
sidered eertnln until the votes are
counted, therefore every loyal Repub
lican should continue to do his best.
Nearlng a Crisis.
It hns become plain to those who
have followed attentively the delibera
tions of the Pails peace commission
that the negotiations between this
country and Spain nrp fast approaching
n climax, t'pon the subject of the dis
position of the Cuban debt tho Span
Inrds have taken a position plainly In
dicative of desperation. While they do
not threaten or bluster, hnvlng learned
that to do so does not pay.thcy contend
with dogged firmness that the forcing
upon Spain of the debt heretofore guar
anteed by the Cuban revenues would
be equivalent to plunging the peninsu
lar government into permanent nnd
hopeless bankruptcy nnd some of the
Spanish commissioners are quoted as
preferring dismemberment to that.
Tho position taken by the MeKInley
administration that the people of Cuba
shall not be burdened with one penny
of a debt from which they derived no
benefit and which was Middled upon
their Island dining Spain's control of It
against their wishes nnd In llngrnnt
dln-egard of equity Is the position of
the American people. Spain's abject
poverty plea Is interesting and so far
as the ignorant masses In her popula
tion is concerned, pitiable and worthy
of sympathy; but It would not do lo
alleviate tho misfortunes of &paln by
forcing new misfortunes on Cuba. It Is
not the place of the I'nlted States gov
ernment to lescue Spain from the con
sequences of Spanish pildo, arrogance
and administrative dishonesty at the
expense of a people who have already
suffered at Spain's hands more than uny
other people have suffered since the
middle nges. When the authorities nt
Washington waived the matter of n
war Indemnity and resolved thnt Spain
should pay for her.ubomlnnblo stew
ardship only by the loss of the wards
whom she had Intolerably abused an
example In magnanimity was given
which has become the marvel of the
world. To go fuither than this in len
iency would be to sacrifice- JuMice to
sentiment.
It Is evident that the American com
missioners have been Instructed to
stand firm. They have reached tho
point which will soon necessitate an ul
timatum, and when that Is presented
Spain must either give way or Invite a
resumption of hostilities. With such a
prospect confronting them at Paris, will
the American people fritter away at the
coming election the splendid signifi
cance of their recent unity and convey
to foreign nations the impression of
hnvlng fallen away in support of their
president and his representatives, or
will they rally onco more behind tho
administration as they did when the
war began, nnd show to Spain by un
mistakable election returns that the
American people propose to tolerate
no nonsense In the negotiations for
peace?
The dismissal of Chaplain Melntyre
from the naval service in dlssrace for
lying about his supeilor olllcers em
phasizes the vkiouMiess of an unruly
tongue. There was absolutely no ex
cuse for this man's libelous utterances;
they had not even a suspicion to back
them. The management of the United
States navy evidently does not propose
to be Swallowized.
Boss Croker Worried.
Richard Croker has taken tho plat
form In defense of his action In Inflict
ing revenge upon Judge Daly, the New
York Supreme Court Justice who would
not penult his Judicial actions to be
controlled by the leader of Tammany
Hall. In n fpcech of unusual length
for hint he defends the turning down
of Daly on th-' score that none of Daly's
associates on tho bench had impor
tuned for his renomlnatlon, adding:
'if the Republican party Is to succeed
In creating an Issue out of the failure
to nnnlnate Judge Daly, it means that
any and every Judge on the bench will
stay there whether the people want
him or not regardless of his fitness.
For twenty-eight years Justice Dal
has been honored by the Democratic
partv. Now he sees fit to show his
loyalty and gratitude to the party by
allow Inw himself to be used as catspaw
to deceive the people nnd attract
votes."
This, In Mr. Croker's opinion. Is an
unpardonable crime. Judge Daly, he
evidently believes, had no right to ic
blst party discipline administered in
rebuke for Ills refusal to turn the Ju
dicial office Into a Tammany annex.
Mr. Croker follows this Interesting
opinion with a personal attack upon
thn character of Klihu Root, one of
Judge Daly's present supporters, which
haB no bearing whatever upon the mer
its of tho caae. Root might bo the
greatest i-.tcal unhung and yet that
fact would not Justify Croker In tiy
Ing to put a political blanket mortgage
on every man In the Democratic party
who aspires to Judicial position. Tho
fact that the New York Bar associa
tion, 3.000 strong, representing nnd em
bodying iS o llower of the legal profes
sion in America, has Indorsed Daly
naO crnmief. Croker will among sen
sible persons outweigh whatever fault
may have appertained to Daly for re
fusing to submit meekly to Croker's
direct slap In the face.
It Is evident from Croker's vicious
speech that the autocrat of Greater
New York Is worried. More power to
hit, adversaries!
It begins to look now as though th
alleged California poisoner, Mrs. Bot-
ktn, will never boxtrled. Tho courts of
California refuse to allow her removal,
and an tho victims wero not In that
stato nt the time of their death, points
will probably bn raised thnt will allow
the perpetrator of one M the most das
.tardly crimes on record to csenpe.
That Tammany's fight In New York
has become despernte Is shown by tho
fact that pool rooms, gambling dens
nnd brothels nr being squeezed to the
limit for cnmpalgn funds. The Repub
lican committee has positive evidence
thnt 10S pool rooms have been assessed
$250 each In exchange for promised
police protection, and the money thus
collected Is being put In against Roose
velt, not In the city but "up stnte." It
remains to be seen whether the oppos
ing elements In the Umpire state, those
who believe In honesty and purity In
government, will permit Tammany tac
tics to win.
An Interesting situation Is presented
In the Fourteenth New York congres
sional district, where the Democratic
candidate for congress positively refuses
to discuss national Issues, ills excuse
Is that he does not wish to tun the risk
of alienating any vote. It will be In
structive to sec how this kind of dodg
ing will bo regai ded by the people when
they pronounce Judgment upon it at
the polls,
Timid persons who object to annexa
tion of now territory on account of
bad citizens residing therein seem
to forget that within four or five miles
fiom the Scranton court house are lo
calities where It Is not safe for a man
who Is not a walking arsenal to ven
ture out after dark with fifty cents
In his pocket.
Admiral Sampson's reports Indicate
that had General Shafter's advice been
followed at Santiago the United States
navy would hnvo been minus several
ships today. As the search light
swings around It seems to become more
apparent dally that the band of Provi
dence guided tho hosts of humanity In
tho late war.
An exchange says that the rubber
trust Is expanding This Is not alarm
ing, however. The rubber trust Is In
position to utand a little stretching.
Curl Rciiurz has decided not to vote
for Colonel Roosevelt. This Is en
couraging. Schurz Is a good kind of
mascot to have on the other side.
Old Pennsylvania
Miisf Not Falf?r.
From tho tho Philadelphia Inquirer.
THIS Democrntlc munngors have
discovered, Just ns have the Re
publican committees, that Dr.
Swallow Is hopelessly third In
the race, hence tho Independent voters
nre urged to vote for Jenks nnd not
thiow a. vote away on Swallow. Rut
why should any Republican vote for
Jenks? Let every Republican take that
question to heart and think of It seri
ously. Let htm lemember that Penn
sylvania will cither remain In the Re
publican column or be turned over to
the Demoeiacy. Kxnctly the same kind
of campaign that is being conducted In
Pennsylvania Is being waged In New
York. Across the Delaware, In New
Jersey, the Democrats are making
every effott to capture tho state, as
they are In other states. Suppose they
succeed? isn't that question full of
meaning?
o
Democratic success would bring to
the front the same old Issues of free
silver and free trade. Pennsylvania,
New York, New Jersey Democratic
would mean the capture of tho Na
tional congress In 1oth branches. Place
a hostile congress behind MeKInley,
and the administration would be hamp
ered to tho end. Rryanlsm would bo
forced Into the lead of triumphant De
mocracy, nnd nothing could prevent
the nomination of Bryan in 1900, with
a renewal of all the disastrous uncer
tainties of the campaign of 1896. The
rallying of the people around MeKIn
ley has left the Democrats without a
national Issue except their opposition
to territorial expansion. They have
been trying to get together to bring
the gold Democrats back into the fold.
They have temporarily dropped free
silver and flee trade and have sought
to blind the voters with so-called state
Issues, Rut Rryanlsm Is only dormant
and Is only awaiting Its opportunity
Let Pennsylvania and New York go
Democratic and that opportunity will
come. Henceforth we shall have the
dishonest dollar discussion again on
our hands, nnd the campaign will begin
Immediately. But If Democracy Is
beaten this year the great problems
which MeKInley has to work out will
rally around him all the Republican
strength and Bryanlsm will be a dead
cock In the pit,
o
The Democratic party the party of
Jenks Is tho party of free silver and
free trnde. and the way to kill those
Issues Is to give the Democrats no foot
hold for a vigorous and dangerous cam
paign for the presidency and congress
two years hence. Pennsylvania cannot
break nway from Republicanism with
out exerting u deep Influence. AVhen
she tried the expeilment In 18S2 nnd In
1S90 Cleveland was elected. These facts
should not be forgotten. Republicans
who consider the future cannot be led
away this year. If they will but under
stand the dangers and wo believe that
for the most part they do understand
them Pennsylvania will give an over
whelming Republican majority.
THE WORLD FAST BECOMING
CHRISTIANIZED.
From the Philadelphia Pices.
Tho into nt which the world Is passing
under tho control of Christian govern
ments, and especially of the more en
lightened and progressive governments,
has been greatly accelerated In recent
years. Tho events of the past summer
hnvo moved for and swiftly In this direc
tion. It Is only when we take a wide
survey over the course or centuries that
we can flily uppreriste the strength of
such historical tendencies. About one
third of tho human race, or five hundred
millions), uro today nomluully Christian.
Hut this one-third holds tho reins of gov
ernnent over about two-thirds of the
race, or about one thousand millions, ot
men. One hundred years ago the popula.
Hon ot tho globe was about one thousand
millions. Of these, about B6 per cont., or
three bundled and sixty millions, were
at Hint time under nominally Christian
guwinments, nnd 64 per cent., or six
hundred and forty millions, under non
Christian governments, Tn ISffl the popu
lation had grown to nearly fifteen hun
dicd millions, und of these eight hundred
nnd ninety-one millions, according to the
Statesman's Year Hook, wero governed
by Christian governments. Thin did not
Include, of course, the spheres of Influ
ence whloh the European powers hao
since acquired In Africa Und In -.in',
nnd, besides, we must also take account
of tho growth of population In the Chris
tian countries during tho last eight years,
a growth which far outstrips tho growth
of unn-Chrlstlan countries. Ho that It Is
undoubtedly true thnt tho Christian one
third of tho human rare holds political
power todnv over a full two-llitrds of
population ot tho globe,
o
This tendency Is still moio strikingly
manifest If wo consider tho area of vho
earth's surface lnRtend of population.
Four hundred years ngo, at the opening
of tho era of the Reformation, Christian
governments held ewny over only 7 per
cent, of the rarth's surfnee, nnd null
Christian rations or races over S3 per
cent. Or, to stnte It differently, 'iirlstlun
nations held sway over three millions ut
squnro miles, and non-Christian nation
over forty-five millions. Today tho Chris
tian nations govern forty million squnro
miles, or it per cent , of the surfuco of
the earth, while Mohammedan and pagan
nations control only eight million square
miles, or. IS per cent. The resistless
tnnrch of Ilnsllih forces along the Nile
and the extension of Kngllsh, Russian,
French nnd Clermun boundaries In China,
arc fnst changing even these figures. To
any one who knows the lmniansureable
difference between n Christian and a
heathen government ns regnrds nil the.
conditions of Jul inn n welwaro nnd pto
gress. nnd the growing Justice nnd Leu
eflcence of Christian governments them
selves, these facts afford ground for great
satisfaction.
PUT PARTY FOREMOST.
Hdltor of The Trlbunc-
8lr: If you will kindly ullow mo a little
spaco In you:- piper I would llko to make
a few remarks on the present campaign.
One year uro Colonel Stone wns tho idol
of a great many Independent itepubllcnns
- myself nmong the number and was
looked upon as the ldu.il vindldnto lor
governor of our glorious state. Ho went
to work, made a fair nnd square tight on
state and national Issues and loeelvid tpo
nomination jy what Is generally consid
ered fulr und honcrnble means. Suddenly
theso Independent Republicans decertoi
hlH standard. And why, you ask? Well,
ns to thnt I have nothing to say, but per
haps they thought thnt there were bet
ter opportunities to show their purity
elsewhere.
Has Colonl Stone changed? Not to my
knowledge. He Is today tho candldnto of
the greatest political party tho country
has ever had. It Is to be sincerely hoped
that his mujorlty will not fall below the
quarter of a million mark. The sins of
nil the bnd members of the party for
thirty years back hnvo been laid on his
shoulders to carry.
Ono inoro thought on state Issues, 'f
either Jenks or Swallow should get elect
ed It would be such a set-back for the
Republican partv In the stato that It
would not be prepnred to enter the na
tional fight for president with tho ardor
and enthusiasm that will be needed. With
Croker. of New York, training up a presi
dential candldato who will unlto tho 1)'
mocracy for lftno. It behooves every Re
publican to stand by his colors In the
state fight and to administer a rebuke to
those who would disrupt tho party to neip
the Democrats.
As tn our congressman, Hon. William
Council, his record Is unlmpeachablo and
his defense Impregnable. It Is to be sin
cerely hoped thnt bis majority will not be
diminished from that of two years rgo
nnd It certnlnlv will not It nil true Re
publicans do their duty. Don't let reform
ers so-called sell you a gold brick.

If Cntlllne had run n big department

LITERARY NOTES.
Tho Owl contains each month a gener
ous nickel's worth of oiiglnal short sto
ries, some of which uio exceedingly In
teresting. Tho Cosmopolitan for November gives
tho experlenco of tho only American se
cret service agent who visited Madrid
on government business during the war
with Spain. It Is a chapter of dramatic
history well worth leading.
"For Freedom's Sake" by Arthur Pat
erson (published In the Llpplncott Select
Novel series) Is a study In fiction of tho
genesis of tho John Brown uprising and
throws vivid side-lights upon that dra
matic episode In Anicilcnu 1 lstory.
Since the Criterion lr.ctcnt.ed Its number
of pages und decreased its price Its cir
culation has multiplied rapidly. One sees
It In almost everybody's hands nowadays,
There Is no morn vigorous, breezy or up-to-date
weekly Illustrated Journal of the
arts and society published now and Kill
tor J, I. C. Clarke is Improving it each
week.
A handy selection of verses by Rudyard
Kipling has been published In the Larlc
Classics by William Doxey, San Franclf
co. The volume Includes "Departmentnl
Ditties," "The Vamrlre," "The Ballad of
tho Clamoherdown," "Our Lady of tho
SnowB" npd other well-known poems by
this most glftod and Interesting of living
writers.
There have been few liner character
studies In American fiction than "David
Ha rum" by Edward Noyes Wostcott
(New York: D. Appleton & Co.) Mr.
Westcott completed this book when lying
on his death bed und It was his only ex
periment In literature. Ho was a banker
who wrote at leisure moments for his own
amusement and the subject of his story
Is a banker of the old school a self-made
man, homely In dialect and eager to get
tho better end of any bargain from a
horso trade up, yet possessed of a vein of
droll humor nnd rhrewd native philosophy
and a thorough man at heart. His com
ments upon men and things nre shrewd,
quizzical nnd unerringly wlso and the
humor In him is without a flaw. It Is a
pleasure to recommend this book ns one
of tho best literary creations of tho year.
In "The "Widower" D. Appleton & Co.)
W. K. Norrls sketches an Interesting fig
uro who, of reserved nature nnd serious
meln, Is by the early death of his wito
left to care for a young daughter. The
widower, not having been overly happy
In his tlrst matrimonial adventure, de
clines to marry again and tho daughter,
having no womnn to confide In. grows
up a repressed creature who finally elopes
with a dlbrejiutnblo mnn nnd Is saved
from shame only hv grace of the author.
Tho delineation of the father Is a clever
bit of work but tho novel as n wholo is
somewhat disappointing.
