Tho saddest lilt nf literature that
lion. John Wutmnmkcr will have aeon
In many a day is embodied In this cv
rerf.it from nn AMoelnted Press dl
puteh ypbterdny ndii cut from Harrli
burg: "A confcienoc of the Democratic
nipinli'Ts. wn s hold this nftcriinon at
which a committee wni appointed to
wait on the IrntloM of tho independent
Kopubllcnns and notify them that thu
"4 Democratic members were ready to
unite nlth them on the fusion niuvo
nipnt. Tho Independents said they could
not at this lati dny muster enough
MHe'j to make fusion a success"
Mr. JFarr to Bo Speaker.
The ONpect'Ml hnppned at Harris
burs Inst nlpht when Iteprcentntlvo
John 11. Fair vns overwhelmingly
nominated for speaker In a caucus at
tended by 124 Kcpublicnn members
elect of tho next state house of repre
sentatives In a personal and local
sense the lionot Is highly dgnlflcnnt.
It H the first time tlmt a representa
tive from Lac kawnnna county has
been honored In this manner, and the
fact that the distinction has been cap
tured b Mr Knir in the face of a
complicated political situation and!
against strenuous fartlonnl opposition
testlllos eloquently in his personal
popularity his diplomacy and the
marked con.'ltleno placed in him by
the leaders of the party.
The allni native ti. this selection, fu
sion of the Democratic members with
the group of Win amaker followers
anxious to cik ompa'-s the defeat of
Senatoi Qua j , was Intoleiably tepupr
nant. The Republicans ale largely in a
inaioilty in the legislature. Their's Is
the responsibility. Their's should be
the power. The candidacy ot Mr. Parr,
by enlisting In Its suppoit tho loyal
Hepubllcan membi rshlp, and by prom
ising in the administration of tho
speakership u broad nnd llbeiat recog
nition of nil elements on a basis of
party harmony and ONpcdltlon and
economy In the tiansnetlon of the peo
ple's business, was, In the face of this
menaced deal with the Democracy, an
ussiirod Mil cess from the start.
The usult confeis upon tho enter
prising1 member fiom the Tlrst Lacka
wanna distiiet a degree of Inlluence
upon the shaping of party policy and
legislation which calls foi his utmost
piudence and deliberation The party
at large, weal lid of Interminable fac
tional squabbling and personal bicker
ings, iiU look to him for a complete
fulfilment of every promise. Tho op
portunity is his to make a name which
will bo hok' high In the lespett of the
people or this broad commonwealth,
lie will assume the speakeishlp fieo
f lom embarrassing obligation or secret
promise, and his friends at homo feel
eonlldent that ho will justify their am
plest expectations.
On the score of merit Insuianre Com
missioner Lambert deserves. If ho
wishes, to be letalned under the incom
ing state administration. lie is the
best insurance comml'slonet Pennsyl
vania ever had,
Tho Business Outlook.
Many icisons combine to indicate
that the year upon which we have just
entered will be one of unusual business)
piosperlt.. i:oijbody knows how our
expoits aie growing and how our im
ports are declining befoie the nsserted
ability of our people to supply their
own wants. Hut without going Into
diy figures It may be noted us supple
menturj reasons that 1S09 will be a
ear without linpoittint political elec
tlons, thus giving the people a chance
to tuin their minds to business prob
lems; that most of the debts eontiacted
by laboilng people lor necessailes of
life during the stagnant ears or 1S0I
and 1S9J, when mun of them did not
earn enough money to meet current ex
penses, have since been canceled, thus
Ireelng thetv persons for a largo futuie
expenditure on articles of necessity and
also of luxurv, and that tho low con
dition or stocks In the wholesale and
letall stoies and In the factory ware
houses throughout the count! y pit sages
a mote geneial and nctlvc employment
of labor nnd, In turn, a more even and
a laiger diffusion of wages thun has
been the fact since 1892.
Tlietvj nie solid icasons why business
should prosper. They cannot be gain
said. But there nte also certain tradit
ions which point to the same lesult.
The Biblical storv of the fat and tho
lean jears was a recognition of his
toric truth. We have been through tho
lean years, and very lean some of them
were. too. Wo are now entitled to en
counter a period of fat ones. The pen
dulum has begun its return trip and
the reverse swing may not unnaturally
ne expected to go oh far In the direction
of prosperity as tho forward swing
went in the direction of Industrial and
commeicliil stiingency and panic
Again, it is a historical ttuth that lo
tory In war, when nccomnllshed with
out serious Internal loss, means to the
victorious people a tienmn of good
times. The American pruplo huvo been
extraordinarily victorious at a cost
which they scarcely feel. Their spirit
of dare nnd udventure, roused by mili
tant fervor, win find vent la business
enterprises nnd speculation, and the
consequence will reflect Itself In tho
quickened activities ot trade,
Bert of nil, for tho first time within
the memory of tho present Generation
the people of this country have full
confidence In each other. Sectionalism
Is dead. Confederate and Unionist
have burled the past In mutual hope
for the future. Populism Is expiring.
The West no longer considers the East
Its enemy. Tho comraderle of war,
which brought cowboy and millionaire
together on one footing, has expunged
for years to come tho possibility -of a
IfiirrMurnl aniinl tn olnsx jnalnusv nrt
prejudice, and has postponed Indefi
nitely thn wpollntlon prosrrnmmi; of
T)cbr, Alt told and Bryan. Jt 1 polntr
to be possible again for Americans to
do business with American wherever
Ameitcan jurisdiction reaches, not to
npink of their doing business with fot
elgneis wherever tho foreigners have
t-enso enough to appreciate good thlngo,
Democracy, In short, the "American
Democracy," to uo Mr. Carnegie's
term. Is nwnlte nt last to Its own won
derful poten nd Is going to hump
Itself and inn hlngs hum.
With New u s weather 3 degiees
below zero at Siianton nnd 100 above
at Havana it Is evident that expansion
has nli end v been accepted n a neces
sity by the American thermometer.
A Model State Paper.
Colonel Roosevelt's inaugural address
as delivered at Albany yesterday Is
worthy to be ranked among tho great
state papers of the century. It Is brief,
It Is pluln nnd It la sound to tho core
In Its philosophy ns to what should con
stltuto acceptable public service. When
one has read It one has a sufficient
political creed for every probablo
emergency. Here It Is:
"A very heavy responsibility toiis
upon the governor of New York state,
a state of seven millions of inhabitants,
of great wealth, of widely varied Indus
tries ami with a population slngulaily
diversified, not merely In occupation,
but In race origin, In habits of life, In
ways of thought. It Is not an easy task
ho to frame our Iuvm that justice may
br done to nil ullko In such n populi
tlon, so many of whom have Interests
that seem entirely antagonistic. But
upon the great and fundamental Issuei
of good government there must always
bo a unity of Interest among nil per
sons who wish well to the common
wealth. There Is much lcs need of
genius or of any special brilliancy In
the administration of our government
thnn there Is need of such homely vir
tues and qualities as common sense,
honesty and courage. There nre very
many difficult problems to face, some
of which are as old as government
Itself, while others have sprung Into
being In consequence of the growing
i omplexlty and steadily Increasing ten
sion of our social life for the last two
generations. It Is not given to any man
oi to any set of men, to see with abso
lutely clear vision Into the future. All
that can be done Is to face the facts as
we find them, to meet each difficulty in
practical fashion and to atrlve steadily
for the betterment both of our civic
and our social conditions.
"Wo must icallze on the one hand,
that we can do little if we do not sot
ourselvs a high Ideal, and, on the oth
er, that we will fall in accomplishing
even this little If we do not vvoik
through practical methods and with a
readiness to face life as it is, nnd not
ns wo think It ought to be. Under no
form of government Is It so nee pssnt y
thus to combine efficiency and moral
ity, high principle and rough common
sense, Justice nnd the sturdiest physi
cal and moral courage, as In a repub
lic It is absolutely impossible for n
republic long to endure if It becomes
either corrupt or cowardly; if its pub
lic men, no less than its pilvate men,
lose the indispensable virtue of hon
estj ; If Its lenders of thought becomo
visionary doctiinalres, br If it shows a
lack of courage In dealing with the
many gnivo pioblems which It must
mi rely fate, both at homo and abroad,
as It strives to woik out tho destiny
meet for a mighty nation.
"It is onl through the partj system
that free governments are now success
fully carried on, nnd yet we must keep
ever vividly before us that the useful
ness of a party is strictly limited by
Its usefulness to the state, and that in
the long run, he serves his party best
who most helps to make it Instantly
responsive to every need of the peo
ple and to the highest demands of that
spirit which tends to diive us onward
and upward. '
In essence, this means a high ideal
and common sense. The world Is not
made by dieamcis but by workers, men
who go tin ouch dirt If duty requires It
and care moio for th result than for
tho method. What splendid opportuni
ties for usefulness and distinction ara
now opening in this country for men
who, like Theodore Roosevelt, have
"such homely qualities ns common
sense, honesty and courage!"
Lackawanna county licpubllcaus aie
unusual! modest this jiar. All they aro
askinr for Is the speaker of the nouuo or
repicsentatlves, secretary of the com
monwealth and deputy attorne general.
Tills modi sty Is probably attributable to
iho fact that Lackawanna. Is tho only
ounty In the state that gavo Dr .Swallow
a plurality. Wllkes-liairo Jlpconl.
Tho prodigal alvvus was the favoi
Ito son.
Old Geneial Gomez's attitude is not
to his discredit. He sayr. if the men
who have fought with him for thieo
years aro not good enough to be ad
mitted Into Havana ho does not care to
enter without them
Tho Philadelphia Press covers with a
brave front the iccognlzed collapse of
the elaborate conspiracy to defeat Sen
ator Quay of which it was the chief
mouthpiece. It dies hard, but there is
no alternative.
Tho obstacle to Henry Wattei son's
scheme of running Dewey and Lee on
tho next Democintlo presidential ticket
Is the fact that Dewey has too much
discretion to consent.
In tho case ot the Ilusslan duke who
predicted that Undo Sam will have
trouble with Aculnaldo, of course tho
w Ish is not father to the thought.
Those Berlin merchants who want us
to maintain an open door nt Manila
might first open tho door at Hamburg1
to our slandeied meat . ' i
If Spaniards could mumcr as much
self-control in victory as in defeat,
Spain might yet have a future.
In the case of tho much-married
Congressman Roberts doesn't the pun
ishment already fit the crime?

NEWS AND COMMENT
An Intcrcstlnc Incident Is told by the
Tioy Times of tho IMt of Governor Uul.
lom and his stoff, together with tho chief
executives ot twenty-nine other states, to
Yorktown, Va., In liSl, to celebrate, the
ono hundredth minlvcrtary of the suncii
dcr ot Lord Coruuallls with 7.U00 men to
Ueneral tleorgo Washington. General W.
T, Sherman, who was an old friend ot
Governor Cullom, was present nnd they
had not met for a number of jents, The
celcbrntlou was opened with prayer, nnd
tho minister, Impressed with the Import
ance ot tho occasion, had prepared n long
Invocation which required nenrl half mi
hour to deliver. Neatly every one pru
ent sicmed to bo wenrlcd by the length
of the pravcr, and General Hherinnn went
to sleep. Ho woko up when tho minister
had lead about halt the piair, nnd suw
Ills old friend for the first time. Unmind
ful of the minister ho nroso fiom his sent
and started toward Governor Cullom,
shouting nt tho top of his volco: "Hollo,
Cullom, how ate vou?" Tho general's In
tel ruptlon almost broko up the prelim
inaries to tho celebration when Cullom
quickly moved nearer tho old warrior to
quiet him, and then the minister llnlshcd
tho prayer without rurther Interruption.
Tho Important results which have been
uallzed In this cntintt and Camilla
through the utilization of (ho falls of
Niagara for tho production of ctectrlcH
aie about to bo achieved In Switzerland,
tmvs tho Electrical Review, where the
Uhlno will soon become a rival of Ni
agara as nn electrical nKent Tho ncccs
huiv works were commenced some time
ago. and nre now inpldly Hearing comple
tion. The electric force that will be thus
drawn from tho waters of the river will
bo somewhere In the neighborhood of lti,
iiOO or 17,00i) horse-power, nnd will be sup
plica bi 0 turbines, of 800 horse-power
each. 1 he greater part of this Immense
force will be In the bunds of ono or two
compinles who will employ It to thrlr
own Indlildual benefit, and to tho ex
clusion of the geneial Interest of the put)
lie. At the same tlmo that tho hydraulic
works neiessiiry for tho utilization of tho
waters of the lthlne In tho production of
electilcltj ate being carried out, the erec
tion of u Write factory ror tho manufac
ture of aluminium Is In progress. This
factory will emplov 2 000 horse-power, nnd
will be the most Important of Its kind in
Switzerland. Tho aluminium Industry has
lately assumed considerable Importance
in tho countrv which hopes to becomo tho
rival of the United States In the manu
facture, of this article The Bhlne will
also furnlh electric power for the Krlch
Aaran railroad, the work In connectljn
with which Is now well under way Tho
itlllzatlon of the Uhlno for electilcal pur
poses will not only transform tho cx
Irtlng condition of certain Important In
dustries In Switzerland, but will open up
an Industrial future the greatness of
which can hardly be at present appro
elated. Secretaiy Alger Is considering a plan of
relief for tho soldiers of tho Cuban army,
who aro repotted to be In great need of
financial assistance. Realizing that their
pressing wants can bo best mot by tho
distribution of money, he will recom
mend that congress mako an appropria
tion for that purpose. It is not intended
that tho money shall bo a gratuity, but
rutchr that it shall be in the natme of
a loan, to bo reimbursed to the United
States government out of tho revenues of
tho Island. If tho recommendations of
tho war secretary aro carried Into effect
all tho soldiers of tho Cuban army who
lay down their arms and promise to re
sumo pursuits of pcico will rccelvo a
cash donation from tho people of tho
United Staes averaging SlUu to each sol
dier. Tho amount mentioned Is regarded
as tho least that will avail the soldiers of
Cuba to return to their former vocations
and labors without sufteilng unnecessary
hardships.
Here Is good though not unexpected
nows from Havana. Writing of the sharp
competition between American, I'ngllah,
Trench and German promoters In Cubi
Charles M. Pej.per records that tho
Amoilcans have got rathor iho worst of It
on largo eoncisslons, but ho adds: "Tho
American drummers have risen to the
situation I have seen them drinking
champagne with tho Bngllshmon and
smoking cigars with the Gcimans, bub
bling over with sentimental kinship for
their British cousins and accepting tho
metaphysical explanation of their Teu
tonic friends that Admiral Dledrlch's
queer actions nt Manila were testimonials
of friendship to tho United Statej. The
morning following a sentimental evening
of this kind tho American drummer Is apt
to bo down In tho wholesalo district a lit
tle earlier than usual."
In consequence of tho recent lecelpt of
ciders calllrg for the s,ieody ninnufaciuro
of nearly $10,M!,Ooo worth ot electrical ap
pliances tho Wcstlnghouse Machlno coin
p.iny Is to doul le Its i'lltaburg plant and

THE CHANCES AKE.
From the Altoona Tribune.
Tho chances aro that Governor-elect
Stono will excrclso his own undoubted
right of cholco In tho selection of tho
members of his official fnmllv ns well as
In his other appointments. Ho la a gen
tleman In every respect, exceedingly
courteous to everv ono with whom ho
comes In contuct, even to his political en
emies, and It Is reasonnblo to suppose
that ho will willingly recolvo suggestions
from all quarters. Hut It Is no less re i
sonable to suppose that the recommenda
tions of his friends will be given most
weight. The Trlbuno has no Intention of
thrusting Its advice upon tho goveinor
elect; It believes him qulto competent to
succe&srully solve all tho problems that
will confront him. Yet It cannot refrain
from tho remark that thoso newspapers
which abused Colonel Stono as a candi
date and sought to nccompllsh his defeat
voclfciatlng that his election would cer
tainly mean tho appointment of Chairman
John P. nikln ns attorney general, cer
tainly exhibit a great deal of gall when
they advise the governor not to appoint
Mr. Klkln The Tribune does not know
what Is In tho mind of tho governor-elect,
but It Is sure that Mr. Ulkln Is an able
man, was a most Important factor In the
late campaign and would make an admir
able attorney general.
