An Object Lesson.
Th JuJtimore American, In the
cou se ,,f dn Intel estinjr editoiial upon
th' ethics of polltle.il campalgnlntr,
takes occasion to remark, with tlmell
ness ami truthfulness, that "In recent
sears there has boon a distinct gain in
American politics In decency. A can
didate who can present the facts from
his standpoint In a clear, forcible man
ner, who knows his case Is not so des
perate as to call for the aid of mud
bllnglng, is far more apt to command
the attention of the public than the
loud-mouthed bawler."
Application of these observations can
be made without Impropriety to the
present Pennsylvania campaign. "We
have had In this contest much loud
mouthed bawllnp, much throning of
mud and a tremendous quantity of per
sonal defamation awl scandal. One of
the candidates for governor, a gentle
man bearing next to his name the hon
orary title of Doctor of Divinity, has
traversed the state frantically denounc
ing all his adversaries as thieves and
robbers; another candidate, afraid to
face his own party's record on national
Issues, has manufactured a set of spuri
ous state Issues and has predicated his
appeal for votes upon tho hypothesis
that the Republican party is nn organ
ized conspiracy of puhllc plunder; -while
yet a third gentleman of prominence,
once professing to bo a Republican, has
In the bitterness of Jealousy and te
venge, spread broadcast at great finan
cial cost the literature- of nbuse and
misrepresentation and the machinery
of party dUorganlzatlon upon which
these different factors iu opposition to
Republicanism chlelly base their re
spective hopes of success. Study of the
tactics of Dr. Swallow, Judge Jenks
and John Wanamaker might not seem
to sustain tho Baltimore American in
Its belief concerning a recent gain in
political decency; but the conduct of
a fourth figure on the political stage
shone that the Baltimore journal was
not wholly In error.
From the moment of his nomination
at Harrisburg until the present, through
all this gusty storm of falsehood, filth
and nttempted public deception; while
foes both political, factional and per
sonal have beset him In front, beside
and behind; under provocation nnd
temptation to loss of temper and re
taliation such as have come to few can
didates for high oince, Colonel William
A, Stone has maintained unshaken con
tto! of himself, has gone serenely on
his way among the people, meeting
them candidly face to face, discussing
before them tho Issues from his stand
point, fairly, dispassionately and with
out show of anger or malice, nnd Illus
trating u temperamental no less than
an Intellectual fitness for responsible
executive position. It has been an ex
ample of moderation and high concep
tion of propriety of decided worth to
Intelligent observers and we do not be
lieve that the great majority of Penn
sylvanlans have permitted prejudice or
factional excitement to blind them to
its lesson.
m
A vote cast for William Connell In
this election will to a direct vote of
confidence in the magniheent adminis
tration of William McKInley. The
president nt this time deserves the
suppoit of the people Irrespective of
party.
He-Elect Senator Vaughan.
Vow legislators In Pennsylvania can
show a better record of useful service
than Hon. J. C. Vaughmi, candidate for
re-election to the state senate. His
v.ork In the sessions of 1895 nnd 1S07
speaks for Itself.
He ni the author of the free kln
dcigartcn bill, and the folowlng bills
among others were introduced by him
In the senate and were passed through
the legislature: The superior court bill,
the bill governing the thlid class cities
of the state; the bill providing for a
lire marshal in third class cities; tho
1)111 authorizing the courts of quaiter
sessions to declare the seats of coun
tilmen in boroughs vacant when they
failed to organize for ten days after
the beginning of their term and to fill
the acancies so made; tho bill piovld
Ing for the promotion of medical ncl
cnte by the distilbutlon and use of un
claimed human bodies for scientific
purposes, providing that incoiporatcd
anatomical societies of tho county
wheie the death of the person takes
place shall be preferred to all others.
He had charge In tho senate of the
following bills, among others, and fea
tured their passage. The firemen's
pension bill, the bill making eight
hotu. n day's labor on all public con
ti.it'ta. the compulsory education bill;
the bill piovidlng for the tare of the
Indigent Insane by the Scranton poor
district, which carries with It an ap
propilatlon of nlmost fifteen thousand
dollars a jeui. the bill providing for
the punishment of any mine supeiln
tendent, mine foieman, or assistants,
who lccelve or solicit any sums of
money or other aluable consideration
fiom men while In their employ; the
bill allowing tho Plttston poor dlstilct
to Inciease tho amount of their outdoor
lellef.
He actively assisted In the passage of
the bill piotectlng worklngmen In their
right to belong to labor unions, the
bill preventing the emploment of con
victs In competition with outside labor;
the bill compelling banks to pay Inter
est upon the state's money deposited
theiein; the bill protecting tho cigar
makers' union label, the bill establish
ing a bureau of mints and mining and
tho bill to proteit tho American flag
fiom insult. Thanks very largely to
hia active urging, tho public chuiltablo
Institutions of the Twentieth senatorial
district received In state appropriations
during his term of senkp a total of
t260,MO, not including hl.s share In pre
serving the large appropriations for the
public schools which were at one time
in danger of being cut down.
This Is the record of a first term.
Re-elect Mr. Vaughan and his second
term will show even better lesults.
The Fhst legislative district, with
Its Intimate interest In labor and
school legislation, could not nfford to
retire- a legislative leader like Hon.
John R. Fa iv.
He Swindled the Government.
One j ear ago no officer in the Ameri
can army had a better reputation than
Oberlln M. Caiter, a (aptaln of the en
gineer corps. He had graduated at West
Point with the highest honors ever
won there by a cadet, had man led a
woman possessing both beauty and a
laige foitune and was a geneial favor
ite. For a time Cnptaln Carter had
charge of the harbor Improvements
made by the government at Savannah,
Ga., and after he had removed to an
other assignment it was discovered that
the government had been swindled at
Savannah out of sevetal million dollars.
Carter was put on trial, the majority
of petsonsthlnkinghlmavlctlmof mis
plated confidence rather than a delib
erate thief; but after one of the most
dramatic courtsmartlal in our history,
during which every Influence known
to politics was Invoked to shield him
and harrass those w ho represented tho
prosecution, the suspect was unani
mously found guilty of having con
spired with contractors to defraud the
government and was sentenced to be
cashiered from the army, to pay n
heavy fine and to undergo Imprison
ment for a term of years.
The record In this case, now in the
president's hands for review, has been
subjected to the most searching exam
ination by some of the ablest lawyeis
In the country and pronounced by them
to be Indisputable in its revelation of
guilt. The accused has had opportuni
ties of defence and leniency of treat
ment during the period of suspicion
and trial far In excess of the average
and has been given the benefit of every
possible doubt. His conviction brands
htm as one ot the meanest criminals
developed In tho United States since the
days of Benedict Arnold and it Is to be
hoped that President McKInley will ap
prove the sentence and Insure Its thor
ough enforcement.
The Third LeglslatUo district Is much
too loyal to Republican principles to
delegate its voto at llartlsburg to a
Democrat.
Nikola Tesla claims to have Invented
a system by which electrio power may
be sent up into tho air without wires
and made to come down miles away
and run machinery. This proves that
It is about time to call a halt on Teila's
Inventions. If he begins to let home
made thunderbolts loose on the air
there's no telling on whom they may
drop.
The man who has conducted him
self honorably in business relations;
who has been honest, upright nnd pro
gressive; who enjoya the confidence
of his neighbors and Is known as a
representative citizen can generally
bo trusted at Harrisburg. Such a man
is John Scheucr, jr., Republican leg
islate nominee in tho Second district.
He Is a man for whom no Republican
need hesitate to vote.
No member of the Pennsylvania sen
ate hns been a better friend of tho
public school system or dono more to
further the interests ot free education
than Senator Vaughan. His work in
this direction alone would entitle him
to a cordial re-election, yet it is only
a part of his good service nt Harris
burg. An official investigation into the
causes of the recent Indian troubles in
Minnesota has confirmed the gencrnl
opinion that the Indians had ample
provocation. The greed ot the white
man has been responsible for the entire
trouble. It Is the frontier citizen, in
stead of the ted man, who needs watch
ing. Representative Reynolds of the
Fourth district bases his claim to re
election upon the fact that his record
during the last assembly was indica
tive of abllltyand faithfulness to thein
terests of his constituents and clean In
every particular. The people of tho
Fourth dlstilct know him to bo a man
who can be trusted.
It Is not stated whether the zealous
citizens who made themselves heard at
Johnstown the other night at the Stone
meeting wereWanamakcrltes, Swallow
ltes or Jenksltcs. It Is presumed, how
ever, that the element they represent
will take proper pride in their achieve
ments. Spaniards In Havana have concluded
to leave tho heaviest cannon In the
forts and tho paving stones on the
streets when they depart.
Secretary Long
i9r Fair Play.
ON THE occablon of the annual din
ner of the Republican club of Mas
sachusetts, held at Boston, Wed
nesday night, tho principal spoaKer
was Hon. John D. Long, secretary
of tho nay. In tho course of a masterly
ui'drc-s he said.
"New problems of the giavcst Import
hao been suddenly sprung upon tho
roun'r. Tho administration was re
spoihlj,i when congress dcclired tho
war, tout It should he prosecuted with a
Iew to tho complctcst and most com
ptchcnslvo success But It Is not ic
sponslhle for the fact th.it suciess has
brought with it new phases of tcnltorl.il
expansion nnd tho grave question of
dealing with tho tremendous rcponslbll
Itles which the war has placed upon tho
shoulders of tho American government.
They will bo dealt with with all tho wis
dom that tlu administration can bring to
bear nnd with all that It can gather from
tho bust Intelligence, sentiment and coun
sel of tho American people. I know that
11 over theio was a man who loved his
country, a servant of the public whoso
sole purpose was to do his dutv, nnd who
was guided by a prajerful scnne ot ac
countability to (Sol ei'd fellowmen. It Is
President McKInley For two ears I
have sat at the cablret table, nnd I recall
not one occjrIoii when In tho discussion
thero of any question one word has been
uttered with regard to Its effect or bear
ing on the personal or political fortunes
of the president or of any member of his
cabinet, or of tho rarty of which he was
the cholco two years ago. as today he Is
tho cholco of all the people.
o
"Has It ever occurred to you to reveise
the picture.' Suppoi-e during tho last two
veais the Democratic party had been In
power, and If It Is not too violent a
stretch of tho Imagination a Democratic
president In tho white house. Suppose
during that tlmo that tho policy of tho
administration had been such that north
and south and all sections of tho country
bad been weldeJ together as never before;
jupptisa that unelor this Democratic ad
ministration a gieat wir had been con
ducted trlurnphantl to a Bwift, vlctotious
end; that tho revenues gushed forth
abundantly; that the lieasury was full;
that the national ciedit was at the very
hlghast mark, that under the operation
of Improved revenue laws this abundant
supply of revenue and this excellence ot
the national credit was assured for years
to come, and that tho revlvlrg Industries
of tho country were ittpor.dlng to better
times. Suppose all this, and what, then,
would bo tho appeal of tho Democratic
orator on tho stump or the Democratic
editorial In tho new sparer'
o
"Let us be as Just to ourselves and to
our own admlnlstiatlon as, if tho tables
were turned, wo should be asked to ho to
an other administration that had accom
plished such a result. No wonder that
the Intelligence, tho hope, tho talth of
tho country and the commonwealth are
with tho Republican rarty. What Im
pression will you mean to convey, If you
do not voto this fall tho Republican
ticket; Will you mean to imply that tho
administration of President McKInley an
administration of which It may be said,
as tho anclonts said of Athens, 'It so
waged Its wars that It seemed to seek
only the glory of war; but It so nursed
tho arts of peace that It was mora glo
rious In peaco than In war"; an adminis
tration In the interest of national ro
unlon; of sound money; of a full treas
ury; of triumphant success in war ana
peace that such an administration Is to
be condemned?
o
"Is thero an American who Is not proud
of that administration? Is there, sin
American whs will not sustain it? What
were you all saying six months ago you
Republicans, you Democrats, ou 10
formers, you Bound money men; you pa
triots everywhere? What were jou say
ing then except words of piulse for the
president and his performance of his elu
ties; for his firm stand for tho Improve
ment of the civil service; for his confirm
Ins and nssurlng words in behalf of sound
money; for hta generous efforts at re
uniting, In the bonds of a union of heart
as well as of form, all sections of the
country; for his efforts to avert thevjrrlm
visage of war and to malntuln peace?
Where, then, was the falluro? What did
you mean when you ciowdcd about him
with congratulations; when In editorial
and press dlspateh you had no word too
cordial In his behalf, when, If you saw
him or any member of his cabinet, you
had only expression of Batljfactlon v.lth
his course? Is It possible that now In the
meaner zest of a political campaign any
of ou will forget this? Docs ho deservo
less ut your hands because, reluctant
to prosecute tho war which congress de
clared, he has prosecuted It with the ut
most vigor, with unflinching persever
ance, and with a swift, sure triumph of
your arms on land und on sea; or be
cause on the first Intimation ot the pos
sibility of peace he has led the way to
It by the most generous terms that ever
conqueror granted to the conquered?
There havo been faults and shortcomings;
mistakes here, and mistakes there. But
when you sweep the field from the hill
top of fairness and good seo, and not
from tho swamps of partisanship, whit
cancer ot corruption or dishonesty has
been exposed, and what Is tho result but
tho most complete success won nt the ex.
penso of tho least possible extravagance
and failures?
o
"A voto Is not, In this election, the ex
presslon of a mere pcrsonul preference.
It Is tho expression of an IntelllRdiit
weighing of principle. And, looked at In
that light, there Is but ono wuy In this
campaign In which It should be cast, and
that Is for the candidates of the Repub
lican party."
THAT DIPHTHERIA EPIDEMIC.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The Scranton school authorities are nat
urally anxious to get rid of tho diph
theria epidemic prevailing In a portion
of that city, and they are also anxious to
traco tho origin of tho disease. Iho pa
tients, some Blxty-two In number, are
nearly all pupils of one public Bchool, n
fact which Indicates that tho school was
tho placo from which the disease was
spread even if It did not originate thero.
The closing of the school was a step in
tho right direction, hut the discovery that
tho ventilating shaft wns connected with
tho sower should not be too readily ac
cepted us a final nnd complete explana
tion of the origin of the epidemic, for tho
breathing of sewer gas will not of Itself
produco diphtheria any moro than tho
eating of apples will produce choleia.
o
At such a time there Is some danger
that the discovery of tho connection be
tween tho sewer and tho ventilating shaft
may produce a fnncled security that will
causo tho overlooking ot tho real source of
Infection. That danger Is lessened by tho
common practice ot disinfecting school
houses thoroughly and In every part af
ter an epidemic has prevailed. Ihe fre
quency with which epidemics break cut
In tho schools Immediately after the open
ing of tho school year suggests that the
germs of disease have remained over from
the picvious school year. Tho closel,
darkened and empty school buildings pro
duco a condition of damp walls and fioois
that aro specially favorable to tho multi
plication of diphtheria germs.
o
Tho remedy for this would Ije to keep
tho bchool rooms open during tho sum
mer, to let tho sun shine In them and the
air to blow through them, and to give
tho rooms a thorough disinfection lust
before Hchool begins instead of waiting
for epidemics of diphtheria, scarlet fever,
measles and other diseases to brca.v out
before these steps aro taken.
THE MAJORITY'S WISH.
From tho Philadelphia Press.
It Is absurd to say that the people of
this country cannot govern a colon.
Such an assertion has nothing to rest en
except tho Inclination of some few per
sons alwajs rcadj to deprcclule their own
country at tho expenso of foreign na
tions. Tho best government on the face
of tho earth Is that of the United States
Wo can govern colonies better than any
other nation. It may be a question for
fair discussion as to whether or not the
United States shoulil undeitakdo govern
the Phillppino Islands But It Is not a
question of doubt as to whether or not
wo aro as a nation competent to do It We
can do It well; and as the great majority
of tho people bellevo that we should re
tain the Phillppino IslanK und this Is a
nation whero the majority rules, that
will probably be tho outcome. Tho ma
jority will ho disappointed over any other
settlement of tho question.
m
A STRANGE CURE.
From the Lancaster New Era.
The entire life of Colonel Stone has been
an honor to himself and a credit to the
state. Even Swallow, Wanamaker & Co
do not assail him personally, but try to
strike a vital blow at him and the party
ho represents by holding up tho alleged
deeds of other members of tho party a
most logical nnd righteous method nt
warfare, truly They havi nothing
against the man himself, they say, but
aro fighting tho party. Well, who com
poses the party' Every voter In It.
Therefore, when these men strike at the
party they are directing their blows at
evpry man who votes the Republican
ticket. Must tho party be stricken down
becauso there are some men in II, as thero
are In all others, who may be guilty of
wrongdoing? That Is, Indeed, a strange
way of correcting tho evils in a party.
GOOD EVIDENCE.
From tho rittston Gazette.
If, as the Democrats profess to believe,
state Issues only are concerned In the
corning election It ought not to make so
much difference to them wnether or not
their candidates for congress ure elected.
The fact remains, however, that they are
bending every energy nnd using every
meanH at their commanel to capture Re
publican congressional dls:rlcts, and it's
pretty good evidence that they secretly
recognize tho national significance ot the
contest.
AN IMPERIAL STATE.
From tho Philadelphia Ledger.
At present Pennsylvania makes over
4) per cent, of all the tin plate made in
tho United States, 57 per cent, of nil the
Iron and steel rolled Into finished form,
CO por cent, of all the steel and 50 per
cent, of all the pig iron.
SHOPPING.
She screamid In tenor when her purse
Wns snatched from out her Jew tiled
hand.
And hurled a modest semi-curse
Toward tho fleeing, bold brigand;
And when the copper caught the thief
Sho seized the purso with anxious air,
And breathed a sigh of sweet relief
To find her treasures all were there:
A penciled note
Her fellow wrote,
A sugar-plum,
A wad of gum,
A hall pin (bent),
A copper cent,
A buttonhook
With broken crook,
A safety pin,
A curling tin,
A powder rag,
A sachet bag.
These were the treasures which sho bore
Around with her from store to store
Whllo on a shopping tour, to see
The many pretty things which sho
Would lovo to buy If sho but had
The cash, and with a smile so glad
It almost made the copper sneeze,
She thanked him, and with bprlchtly ease,
Tripped on to seek another store
Or two whero sho could shop tome more.
