The first mespage of Governor House. Mil H a document of widespread In terest. It reveals the rncntalltv of a man who seems destined to figure largely In the future politics of this country. Tlrst of all lie concratulatcs the public upon the lemarkablo suoccsm which intended American aims In the Just war with Spain, uddlnc: "As wo glow Into a mighty nation, which, whether It will or not, must lneltably play it great putt foi good or for ell In the itffnlm of the world at huge, the people of New Yoik wish It undei tood that they look ut all questions nf American fotelgn policy fiom the must thoioiinhlv national standpoint Tho tropic Islands we have tukea must neither be allowed to lapse Into niiiuchy nor to letuin under the puny of tyianny. Wat Is u gilm thing .it be-t, but the wai thmugli which wc have pas-sed hah left us not mttel memntlub nf gloiy won on land und sea, hut an even more blc-s, d heiltage, tho knowledge that It was waged fiom the hlchest motives, foi the good of otheis as well ni for out own national honor. Above all, we are thnuktul that the lountij wus Indeed one when s-vilous danger ronfiotited It." A huge pail of the message Is de voted to the consideration of laboi In tel ests. In It we llud not merely wtll lounded platitudes but ninny spei Kle lecommcndatlons. Aftei pointing out how mum laws enacted ostent'lbly to safeguanl woiklnpnen ate litually Inopoiatlve because of Insufllclunt machlnety for enfnrcement, he lccom meiiils that the enforcement of tho whole bodj of laboi laws be placed un der the boaid of faetoiy lnpcctoi and money oled for the employment of sulllclcnt assistants to secuie en foicetncni without feai i faoi. A pinctlciil suggestion N also ofteied com i-iulng the sweatshop evil. "How to enfoice the law on this subjpet," Goveinor lton'-exelt ki. 'has per plexed the state-men of other coun tries! and slates as well as our own. The most effective and unimiulsitlve means jet devised for uieoinpll'-hlng this end Is that recentlj adopted by Mapsacliusetts, r pi o tiling that buildings Uhed for manufacturing pur poses must hae a peimlt or licence, such license or permit to bo gi anted only on coi.dition th.it the appoint ments of the building fulfill the re quirements of the law for manufactur ing purposes. Thct.0 permits or 11 ceut.es ought to be granted by the boaid of fai tory Inspectors', who bhmild bo held lesponslble for the proper Inspection of the buildings and tho enforcement of the law." At each point the messago is clear, earnest and practical. Note what It says about tho National Guard: "Dur ing the past war the guard was sud denly calif d upon to suppU defklfncies In our scheme of national defense, due to tho very small "Ire of our legular army, which was, and Is, totally In adecjuato to the neces-ttles of the na tion, admirable though the army Itself is In quallt. The emorgene v,is so sudden as t necessitate the calling out of tho men of the national guard leglments, thi time to raise and disci pline ordlnarj oluntoer teglments be ing lacking. It Is much to be hoped that ome well thought out pl'in may be adopted 1j tho national government tor tho uo of tho guai d in any futuie vi ar. It would piobibly piove wisest to older out the uuaul for use in the I'nlted f tales, thu freeing the regular unity for anv expedition, at the tamo time calling tor volunteer i.'glments. Into vvhli li thrne guai d-men who wished might go, then, when the vol unteer foice piopcr had been put In julr condition, the guard could be 01 dered home. In other wouls, tho gu.ud Miould be ustd as it was in tho civil war, and should not be called out for loiolgn service. The Identity of each organization of the guaid should be mesoived. "This calling out of the guaid to do the woik which should hivo been done by tho regulars, and by special volun teer organizations, caused great haid fehlp, and has resulted In much tem poral y dlsoiganlzatlon in the guard It self. The work which tho national Kuaidsmen ought normally to perform differs entirely fiom that expected from legulais. All men who aie ad mitted to the national guaid should bo physically ami morally lit for any sol dierly duty, but there are many men who do Invaluable service in tho guard who ought not to be called upon to serve In long campaigns unless thre Is urgent need. For instance, a laige number of our most useful guardsmen iv ho gladly glvo their service to tho statu aie men of small means, business men, mechanics, cleiks nnd laborers, with families who nro dependent upon their exeitloni.. Ordinary service In the guntd does not interfere in tho least with theso men's work, and ab sence from their woik for a few weeks to meet a special etnetgency does not causo any great haidshlp; but nbence on a long campaign meuns the actual loss of the Job, with delay In securing another nfter the return. This causes wldcrpread suffering and haidshlp. It Is right to ask them to perform a short term of duty, but not a long term; and the disinclination to enlist for n long toim should not be held to In any way reflect on them. If the country needs the services even of men with families, then, whatever the Indi vidual suffering, the service should bo freely given: but whero tho necessity can bo met by enlisting some of tho tons of thouinds of young unmarried men who nre eager to volunteer, It In a pltv to employ men who can be 111 epartd." It Is evident that the new governor of Now York Is on tho side of Genernl Miles In his fight against the mnnnpe ment of the military department by politician", for ho says: "A very wise act of the laat legislature has, for thu first time, put the organization of tho guard In this slate on a proper footing. We now have n major general who Is In fact, and not merely in nnme, the head of tho national guard. The ad jutant general Is to work In conjunc tion with him; he is not an Indepen dent nfllccr, still less a superior ofll cer. He can uo no more than deliver the orders of the governor and act as his representative. Tho major genernl has tho power, and ho should be given every possible facility for the exercise of this powet. It' he full3 to do Ills duty or falls to bring the guaid up to the proper pitch of efll clency, he should bo removed and an other put In his place; but so long as he is In olllce ho must be given a free hand. In other words, he must bo given full power, so that tho respon sibility can bo settled upon him, and then he should be held responsible for the exeiclse of this power and respon sibility." In the matter of equipping the Kiuitii Colonel ISoosevelt goes to the heart q tho matter, saying: "The lamentable icsilit of keeping the guaid aimed with uicha'c weapons, uttcily unfit for modern warfare, was shown veiy conclusively In the late contest with Spain. It Is an under statement of the case to say that a single lltst-class leglment, aimed with the Krag-Jorgenron.ls worth three regiments armed with a low-power, slngfu-shot, black-powdtr piece like the Spiinglleld The national guard should be armed with a small-calibre, hlgh-powci rifle, prefeiably that used by the icgulur army. In nny event the curtildge should bo tho same. The last point Is of - utmost Import ance. All the lighting foicce ol this countiy should us-o tho same caitrldge It Is h great mistake for the army and navy to use uitteicut lilies, but It Is a gi eater mistake for the army and the national guard to use different rifles. Tito Springfield musket as u modem aim hat two dtawbacks. Hist, owing to tho limited tango, It Is of small value against a. foe armed with high-power repeating rifles. Sec ond, owing to the black powder. It Is a source ot utmost danger to whoever uses 11, as tho hinoke that It makes neives as u tuiget, an. the body of men using It immediately become the object of nil tno hostile lire fiom ev eiy putt of the Held within lange. It has been ptoposed as a icmedy to sup ply smokeless powder for tho present weapon. It Is doubtful whether or not this could be done, but If done It would merely render the weapon le.u dangerous to the user without ten dering it much mote formidable to the foe. Any such half measuie would be a. falluic. Our national guardsmen aie entitled to the best type of weapon." Thes-e excepts fiom a most Interest ing message nie huillcient to show that the new executive of New Yoik state Is both sound In theories nnd piaetlcal In hi-, know ledge of methods. He is a man with a future. The attempt of Grover Cleveland to be sarcastic on the question of ex pansion Is not a success. Grover should stick to Ills? heavy generalities. Let Wanamaker Step Forth. There Is obvious justice In the argu ment of tho Philadelphia Times and several other papeis that the logical candidate for United States senator against Motthew Stanley Quay Is John Wanamaker, It was he who began the light against Quay. It was ho who capitalized the whole antl-Quny campaign. Ills money, energy and skill are the direct Insplilng causo of the present opposition and it Is only common faitnesp that he should per sonally reap whatever benefit is to be reaped fiom such a political Invest ment. The setting up by him ot dummy candidates would bo an evasion of re sponsibility. No man can bo elected senatoi over Quay's political coipso who will not owe his success to Wanamaker; who will not from tho nature of the circumstances be a cie ature of his, subordinate to his dic tation Tho representatives who nro following his lead In the matter of absenting themselves from the regu lar patty caucus and who propose to hold together as a Wanamaker prop erty until tho senatorshlp Is disposed ot and no doubt nfterwaids, should demand of their boss that he step forth In open command, Then the situation would be sim plified nnd the people could under stand just where they are at. A practical test in tho case of Congressman-elect Roberts casts a shadow of doubt upon the sincerity of the Mor mons, who promised to abandon poly gamy when Utuh became a state. State Aid to Education, Of the twenty-nine and one-half mil lions spent lust jcar In tho state of New York for public Instruction the commonwealth contributed only a tri fle over four millions, not quite one seventh. In Pennsylvania last year of fifteen millions spent for tho same purpose tho commonwealth contributed almost half. It Is Pennsylvania's boast that she leads all tho states In the amount of her contribution to freo schools, but It would lo a better causo for boasting If It could bo shown that tho local communities In Pennsylvania asked less ntato aid and went deeper Into their own pokets for this purpose than the local communities In any oth er state. The statu of course should bear Its share of the expense, of schools, but neither In local education nor In local charity should It bo expected to do for any community beyond the propor tion of that community's willingness to do for Itself. If opposition to the present geneious state appropiiatlon for educational purposes shall over become formidable It will not be on ac count of any luck of sympathy with the work of Instruction but because of the belief that the dlffeient localities should assume a moro equitable por tion of the cost. m Of all the theories as to the cause ot the blowing up of the Maine the ono mentioned, but not credited, by Town Topics Is the most startling. According to that paper'" Informant, "tho perpetrator of this awful crime la a citizen of the United States, He was employed to bring about trouble between this countty and Spain by persons Interested In the commercial spolts of a war. Ho went to Havana nnd arranged for the launching of a torpedo that was to stilkc n small vesEel lylnK between the Maine and tho Alfonso XII, nnd so give tho Americans an lmnresslon that the Spaniards had attempted to blow up tho Maine. It unfortunately struck the American man-of-wnr." When will the country know tho truth? That Interesting Journal, Town Top ics, has a way of stating truths which Is refreshing. For example: "Mr. Uryan's nomination In J00O will menn tho election of McKlnley as certainly an It did In 189C. No genuine Deino cint can for. a moment sanction this predestined fiasco. Mr. Hrynn must be struck off the list of presiden tial possibilities now nnd forever. Then he may be left to talk himself to death " Tho Chicago Itccord, in an earnest, editotlol, cnlla attention to the fact that the present centuiy does not end until December 31, 1900. The popular Idea that thu century will end next December Is all wrong. The twentieth centuiy will not begin until January 1, 1901, so pec pie need not be In haste about becoming poetic over the last year of the nineteenth century. Secietary of Agilculture "Wilson sujs ho told General Miles that the latter should not have made the army beef scandal public. Secretary Wil son foi gets It was the war Investiga tion commission which did that. The pioduction of gold in the United States alone last year was enough to give eveiy American citizen one gold dollar. This does not piesage u shoit age In the jellow metal. Tho military plot microbe Is becom ing less dangerous In Paris. Potto Jtico pacified herself. SENATORIAL CAUCUS. Special Correspondence ef Tho Tribune liaiilsuuig, Jan. 4. Tho scene in tho now ball of the legislature Tuesdaj ntfcht was something to remember. The walls, hung hi burlap ot deep l'ompoilun red, suimoui.tcd bj Umplru festoons in gilt, made a ilch background for the sombre coated throng that suiged about the Hoar und naileries Abjvo all, through a inlst of cigar smoke, tho Hags of the nutlon gleamed In the radiance of elec tric lights thicklv studded In squares In thu ceiling But little thought, however, was expended on the suriouiidlngs, for a tenso interest that unconsciously caused the members of the big assem blage to hush their voices pervaded tho very air. Men who are accustomed to assert their opinion In loud tones, spolco In whispers, "llu is heic!" "I told ou sol' "lies all right'" being frequently heard. Onobyonepersonages whose names have become famous appeared in the ciovvd. General Frank llecder s stately form and handsomo fuco roso above tho timing. John P. Klkln's keen, alert eyes flashed over the mass ot faces Con gressman Connell, alertness evident In cvety glance, and Senator McCarrell not at all depressed by tho governor's final scolding, woro prominent figures. Gcnenl Lattas benlga countenance looked form like a heirald of hope, and many others whoso names uro familiar and whose presence is a power, wero seen on every side. Something deeper than interest, moro Intcnso thaji suspense, rippled over tho throng as a dignified figure, clad in a cafo ,iu Ialt hued suit of faultless lit nnd llnlsh was noted in the throng. Tho entrance of no man, savo Quay hlmscir, could havo produced the Hensatlon made by this man as ho took nil unobtrusivo place at a desk In lino with that of tho speaker, for bo was "Chris" L Mageo himself. Kverjbody knows of this ta mous state senator from the west, wno has fought Quay so bitterly for many cnrs, who has done muo to cause tho senior senator trouble than nny other ten men in tho country: who has been an Implacable foo and jet whom, perhaps, nS Hindi flH linV nthor mnn , hotkn. I friend or foe, has always held Quaj's respect ne is a wonderrullv handsome man, this troublesome gentleman from Pittsbutg. It was an Involuntary trlbuto of pialso fiom a mm who bad never felt paitlcularl) friendly toward Mr. Magee, w'len he was ove: heard to remark the other night: "Well, I must sa that if I were a woman I should fall violently in lovo with Chris Magee." The first Impression one gets ot him Is in a Gen eral appcaianeo of hi Ins well groomed. From his sleek, handsome head, which is turning Just gray enough to give an added elfect of distinction, to his gpnttel boot tips, he looks a high-bred gentle man. I bellevo that fircly shaped head of his was surrounded by a well-defined halo tho other night to many eves. Fven to those who wero In tho secret as he rose to nomlnato B. F. Jones, the sensv tlon that swept over tho audience as he afterward stood In his place and said In firm, ringing tones- "I rise to ask that thu nomination of Hon. Matthew Stan le Quay bo mado unanimous'" carried a thrill that they llko to recall. Such a thunder of cheers, such a swell of ap plause, such a. whlto sea of handker chiefs as gieeted that marvelously well executed coup-do-tct aro not always ae coided to a speaker In what certain por tions of tho public press term an "unen thuslastlc caucus " That It was tho greatest political stroko In Pennsylva nia's checkered career was acknowledged In every quarter, nnd that C. h Mages will bo elected United States senator six j ears from now Is frankly predicted. Tlio beauty ot this llttlo scene was tho con summate girneo and tact with which tho great leader from Allegheny brought his support to his old time enemy. It was the refinement of urt, the climax of po litical flii'.sse nnd won for him a placo in the hearts of certain men which will bo his for llfo and which will have a significant effect on the brilliant career which shlnrs beforo him Llttlo was talked of vedtaulay In Harrlsburg but "Chris" Mageo and the Infinite dignity and cleverness In tho part plajcd by him In tho big gamo o To return to tho charge made In sev eral ournals that llttlo enthusiasm wns evinced at this caucus, Is to say that seldom has so much enthusiasm been ovldent, but It was not tho kind that goes off simply In jolls and hand-clapping, instead, it was tho deep, pent-up soil that reaches far down nnd seems to grip tho hearts of men. You could see It In glistening eyes nnd hear it In quick bicathlng nH ono nftor another who had been labeled "doubtful" stood up Vnd Hfavo bis vote for tho senior senntor. It Is an inexplicably Interesting study this feeling which men hold for Matthew Stanloy Qinv. Thoro aro those to whom he owes political Jebts which he could not pay off In n senatorial career of a hundred yeuts, who It can almost bo pledged, would dlo for him. Ho seems to Insplro a stmngo, Intense devotion that Is in rare Instances given to khiGS who sway by hereditary right, or to great tnllltnrv leaders, but seldom to men called "politicians" nnd almost never to those wo proudly term "states men." That silent, powerful feeling was unmt'takubln In tho great throng nt tho Tuesday night caucus. It was not for mere political preferment, not for hope of reward, but for lovo and honor ot Quuy tho man, Ihithuslasm, Indeed! Fortunnto Is tho Individual In this big world of pushing, restless mortality, who can command tho something which Is moro than enthusiasm nnd llttlo less than Idolatry. IV Tim leglslaturo In tho brand new chamber with Its giddy red walls seems almost llko an experiment, so now is everything. Tho room tho building, the speaker, nnd most of tho members aro spick span new. Thcro nro new clothes nnd new Ideas. It Is, In fact, a now leg Islatuie. Notwithstanding tho gover nor's lugubrious tnlo of four jcars woo nnd somewhat dubious prognostications, It looks llko a legislature which will do something noblo nnd will be less likely to causo everybody to wish that It as sembled only once In tlvo yenrs. It would bear a slightly familiar and friend ly look to a Scrnntonlan, for thero Is John It. Firr, with his quiet, earnest face, In tho speaker's chair. IIo ncvor seemed a very big man, physically speaking, at home, but somehow ho does look ttdler down hero at that big desk, nnd everjbody gives him respectful at tention and regards him with honor and friendly Interest. Ho makes a splendid presiding ofllcer, and It Is a thousand pities tint his thousands of friends In this city could not havo heard his speech Tuesday night In seconding Senator Quay's nomination. It crcntcd a decided sensation, coming ns it did, unexpected ly, and was really a fine effort. Ho has a clear, penetrating voice and uses ex cellent diction. Mrs. Farr was seated at a short distance awuv und received tho congintulatlons of many who appreciat ed her husband's work In Quay's behalf on this occasion. a 1'. W. Fleltz, the rending clerk of ths house, Is another Scrantonlan who comes in for n big sharo of attention. Ills handsomn personality and suavity ot mnnner make him a very popular factor In this year's work. IIo will probably ba deputy nttomey general, although tho Dolawaro county people put up a great tight for their man Seliafter. Mr. Scheucr Is destined to be prominent this session. Tho clerks, unfamiliar with his name, wiestlo with It to the Inevitable effect of getting It "Sure," which, nfter all. Is not to bad as applying to oui Second (lis trlct representative, for he certainly 's straight and suro nnd honest, and can be depe nded on. Dr. Mackey Is receiv ing endless congratulations for his bold and decided stand In tho caucus, md Mr. Timlin has already mado many friends. u The houte, ns a whole, imptesses tho onlooker ns comprising a remarkably hnndsome body of men who havo bialns nnd good sense. It Is alnady predicted that It will bo a great record session. Tho sennto assembles In a pale green nnd gold "apartment " which seems to be In artistic harmony with tho smaller nssemblnge within Its walls. It Is said that Senator Vaughan Is certain of being lccoguUed on many Importnnt commit tees. Considerable grumbling is heard that a Swallow countv should be receiv ing such prominent recognition In this car's session but then It should bo re membored that Governor Stone hid no special need of extra votes but that when I.arknwnnna count j's friends do need them they aro to be had. Tho senate was about tho only center ot Interest today, when Senator Mc Carrell said things about tho governor's message. The capltol really Is nil rltr'it Inside even If It does look a trlflo moth eaten without, and ono c.in't blame tho senator for defending It when It has been mado habitable and most comfortablo in such a marvelously short time It will bo a noble building when completed and It Is quite a consolation to know that tho goveinor will scarcely havo the power to enforco his ruggestlon that it should all be pulleel down to tho foundation which even he nnd Dr. Swallow both agree has been well laid. THE LACKAWANNA HOSPITAL From the Oljphant Itccord. No ono questions the usefulness of tho Lackawanna hospital. It has been a llethci to many a poor man In theso com munities, who would undoubtedly have passed away when injured, had ho not had the kind nursing and skillful medi cal triiatmcnt freely given In this ben evolent Institution. Tho Institution do serves support, and It Is a mistake, to let so excellent an organization be handi capped In its noblo work, for tho lack of funds. That Is the case at present, and it Is a matter of concern to man). o This Institution Is a benefit to the poor. Tho well-to-do, when sick or maimed, sel dom enter a charitable institution, out the poor llnd them generally a God-send. Tho wealth) of Lackawanna county have liberally contributed to this Institution, nnd they continue to do so, but the revo lutions of time remove bomo men con spicuous for their benevolences, and oth ers equally characterlzeit oy charity elo not fill tho gaps. Tho above hospital h is recently lost somo of Its staunch friends, and tho loss Is deeply felt. To havo so useful an Institution depend on charity is unwise, nnd some source of regular in come ought to be devised, that tho hos pital could bo free from worry In tho dlschargo of its duty. o The section of our county directly ben flied by tho hospltnl is populous and wealthy. If tho workmen, for whoso benefit tho Institution exists, wero to con trlbuo ten cents a month, and each minor five cents, that vould amply meet all demands In the case. Should this bo dono by the workmen, tho employcis also would undoubtedly give a sum equal to that contributed by tho Joint action of tho men. The money could bo collected nt the various pay oWces and turned over to the hospital. No ono would feel tho burden, but tho gentlemen who nro now wor ried as to tho ways and means of keep ing out of debt, and still treat tho pa tients who are sent to them, would bo Ercatly relieved. o Let tho question be raised and dis cussed by some of our employers. It should bo proposed to our people, and the kindliness that characterizes tho workmen of our communities will not be found wanting In this Instance. THE PEOPLE NOT FOOLED. Syracuse Post-Standard. Tho people as a whole und on the nv erago cannot be very greatly fooled by any man for nny length of time. Tho man of prominence, and especially tho man In public station, who is rotten In character and criminal In action, Is as an almost livvarlablo rule speedily und thor oughly found out Therefore, tho es teem In which Senator Quay Is held by great numbers of tho people ot Pennsyl vania, to whom In his going In and com ing out ho has been known through many yenrs, constitutes an eloquent col lateral testimony to his worthiness nnd worth, which tho Post-Standard is con tent to nccept until it shall bo compelled to accept something else. CURED. From tho Troy Times In ono ot tha back counties of South Texas is a negro doctor, who enjoys a moro or less extensive prnctlco among tho colored population, which composes n majority of tho citizenship A whlto physician accosted him on tho toad tho other day, saying: "Well, Dr Sam, wheie havo you been?" "Ileen to see 11111 Jolyi. sing. sah. Ho was wrastlln' wld Mose Jones an' bus' a blood wossol." "in deed, that's serious! What did you pie. scribo?" "Ah, I donn fix him all right wld alum and gum arable. Allum to drav dee pahts tognddah and do gum to stick em," It may bo Interesting to add thit the victim recovered. GeUSMI! A Card of Importance Experience has taught us not to hold our first annual sale of Huslin Garments until the first week in February, because the reputation we have gained in this particular branch of our business has been caused by offering nothing but well made and up-to-date garments at the lowest possible prices, and in order to obtain well made gar ments it takes time, because our contracts are only made with the best manufacturers who employ nothing but skilled labor and make Qvery garment in their own factories, under one roof and under their personal supervision, equal to and in many respects better than if they were made in your own homes. The wonderful increase in our sales the past year has proven beyond a doubt that our customers are alive to the aforesaid state ment and it has also prompted us to place orders for double the quantity of Underwear ordered any previous season, therefore, when we do hold our Grand February Sale you will find a stock here larger than that of all other stores combined. All January sales will sink into utter insignificance when compared with our coming February Sale, thus those who wait for it will surely be the gainers.
