Today's Election. .'he campaign elored today has been suillclentlv unliiue to warrant a word of role. finally In municipal con tests theio Is it declaiatlon of princi ples, oproied ot Implied the nomi nees, as a i ule, are connected In the public mind with eeitnin cleaily de llned liltMS and purposes of city gov ernment mid win u lose support ac cordingly as tho'-c Ideas and purposes uie popular or unpopular. The pres i nt rnnnt.H. on the contiary, has been absolutely devoid of public discussion mill apait fiom the candidites respec tive piitlsnn allUiatlons the Issue has been almost wholly a peisonal one. Candidates? and their fi lends have been busy in a quiet way Importuning oters fur suppoit, but on the surface the f.unpalgn ban been placid and un eventful. One might almost Infer fiom tho upppaianee i f things that the elec tion of a cll ndinlnlstiatlon Is, some thing of small Importance And 2,ct It must bo i le.ir to the ri caning tupajta that this Is not the cast. When we letne noer that the aerai;e ltl7rn is Inteiested in city government to the extent of a dollar of tavntl in where be In Inteiested in statu and federal government to hanllv more than the extent nt a penny, when wo beat In mind that the difference be tween good and bad municipal nilc Is lnllnlttlv mote peircptlble than the dlffeienec between good and bad state or good and b id u'deral administra tion, ulfcrtlng the citizen waking and Mlccplng, aftecting the alue and safe ty of his piopeily and the security of his life and peii-on, It cannot be ln fcned that the people have not given this impoitnnt election duo and pro found attention. The conclusion Is Ir le.slstlble that they do not Intend to use tboli ballots simply In ministering to peisonal umbltlonn or In venting personal spites but that they are going to choose public sonants as they would select private help with a Keen view to tbeli own best Inteiests nnd to tbo establishment of competent and tiustworthy Udmiaiy relations In the city offices The Republican nominee'' welcome this test.

Voto for thoni. Tho more intelligent Cubans do not take kindly to the colonial commission recently appointed by the war depart ment to help it regulate taxation and franchises. "To solve matters of such Impoitance," they say, "the United States Bends men ignorant of the cotm-. try'a customs and needs and of the economical situation, whoso first Im pressions will bo noted upon at Wash ington. The people of Cuba should not be taxed without consultation." There will be forco In this piotest if tho com- mission shall fall to act deliberately and after full and freo conference with tho representative native elements There Is forco already to thp sugges tion that on such ti commission the Cubans themselves should have icpro scntatlou, inasmuch an it is their inter ests which nie at stake nnd not pri mal lly the Interests of the United States There nro Cubans fit to be trusted In this matter and our govern ment phould tnke pains to pick them out nnd clvo them due recognition. Vote to turn the rascals out. Scranton's Industrial Futme. The report of the Manufactures com mittee presented to the Hoard ot Trade last night raises an issuo of vital im portance to the people of Seranton. Throughout the country the business skies are clearing; money Is again abundant; interest rates are low; con fidence is restored; new markets nro ieldlng profitable returns to American enterprise, and the time is ripe for the Inauguration of a grand era of Indus trial progress. During this general ad vance is Sctanton to slide backward or go ahead? There arc signs of a material im provement in tho anthracite coal situa tion in the near future, and this Is cause for genuine rejoicing, but tho ultimate future of this city dale not depend upon one Industry or upon two Industries Never has this truth been more vividly Impressed upon tho pub lic consciousness than during the past five years of dullness in coal and Iron, when tho inhabitants of this commun ity have been saved from business stagnation, jes, from business ruin, by the employment to lacor given In oui silk mills, woolen mills and other di versified industries. Without theso varied enterprises called Into exist ence by Board of Trade Influences, we could not have weathered the general depiesslon. They have literally been our calvatlon. Business prudence, business self-protection, in other words, plain common sense demands that wo get moie of them, as wo can if wc will tr. There aio wealthy men enough in Sctanton with capital now lying idle to bilug hither nt once a number of valu able now industries if they will give the matter their Intelligent nttentlon and realise that unless tbo city is thus relnfotced its realty values will sooner or later decline, its banks will eventu ally cease to bo centers of handsome profit and rotiogtession win take place an along tho line. It is tiuo tbat local capital is Just now inclined to fight shy of Industrial investments. It Is also true that money invested in In dustries does not jleld as cuitck a re turn as In some other directions in volving successful speculation. Hut men of means whose homes are here, whose property Is here, whose sources of income are hero must realise that their original investments cannot in definitely continue to be profitable un der a condition which subjects the gieat mass of tho laboring element to the fluctuations of the coal trade or to the tips and downs of the steel rail business. Decay is the inexorable al ternative to growth. The stores can not increase their sales, the men who lent office rooms or homes cannot pay higher prices, wage earners cannot buy or build homes of their own, the banks cannot expand their safe loans and discounts unless the general volume of local business Is gradually augmented by the steadying activities of diversi fied new industiies with enlarging pay rolls and growing incentives to in creased investment. To stand still Is to sot in motion the agencies of ulti mate disaster. This city, we lirmly believe, lias reached another turning point In its hlstoiv. If money made' In Seranton Is to be sent out of town for Invest ment or deposit and the establishment of new home industries is not to be hereafter encouraged, a time will come when tho tide of growth must ebb, shewing the shoie with wreckage. On the contrary, if advantage is taken of the fav enable genetal conditions to build enlarged foundations for home prosperity tho impulse tow aid a great er and a better Seranton will soon be come irresistible. At this pivotal mo nient, let the moneyed men of our city nsk themselves in all sei lousiness, "Which path can we afford to travel'" Mgr. Chapelle, the apostolic delegate to Cuba, began his work at Santiago auspiciously last Sunday by preaching a sermon in English and by notifying the clergy in that part ot 'Cuba that they must keep out of politics and not try to run the government. Enforce ment of this wise policy by the Catho lie church in the new dependencies will materially facilitate the work of recon struction. President McKlnley's ambassador nt large, Robert P. Porter, has gone to Germany to study the commercial situ ation and preach the futility of a war of tariff reprisals. Mr. Porter has al ready done notablo public seivico in other fields It is to bo hoped that ho will be equally successful in this one. Among other good deeds to the credit of Secretary Long is tho promulgation of an order prohibiting the sale of beer on American warships. Thus does the naval speakeasy go to Join the discred ited army canteen. - . i. According to schedule only eleven more days remain ur exhibitions of gulncn-plg statesmanship in the United States senate at the present session. An American ship has Just left Tacoma for Manila with a cargo of American cigarettes. Aguinaldo had better sue for peace at once. Tho caso of M. Lpubet, the newly elected piesldent of Trance, is an un doubted instance of the ofllco seeking tho man. M. Loubct begged of his friends not to make him the successor of tho late Piesldent Felix Fiiure, but they would not heed his entreaties, and now ho will be obliged to light to preserve the dignity thrust upon him, with chances that his administration will be overthrown by some of tho restless elements of France. Presi dent Loubct presents a most striking example of tho man who has the bear by tho tall. The committee on municipal admin istration of tho Hefoim club ot New York has undertaken to gather sys tematically nnd to digest information from every civilized country relating to methods and results in city govern ment. This Is to be Issued at quarterly Intervals In monograph form at a nom inal price. Tho first publication in tho series, by Mllo Hoy Maltbie, Ph.D., pre sents a study of the development, scope and tendency of municipal socialism based on returns from ICO American and 330 foreign cities. Into tho 200-odd pages of this monograph Is crowded a wealth of detail touching different pro cesses nnd activities of municipal ad ministration, including protective func tions", charities, education, recreation, street facilities and industrial func tions, nnd also certain deductions in dicative of the probable future trend of city functions. The volume, in short, is ono of incalculable value to persons desiring to be in touch with the ad vanced thought on municipal govern ment nnd we most cordially recom mend it. It Is now thought that General Zur llnden will not make the expected coup d'etat. The general evidently does not want to assume the chances of landing In the coup. Congressman Kobcrts will doubtless feel encouraged at the fact that the poi traits of the women who object to his coming to Washington are not ery handsome. The calm In France causes appie henslon. When France is calm it is geneially an Indleatlon that a crisis Is hovering over several largo sticks of dynamite. The congress of mothers at Wash ington can report progress. They have decided that it is not riht for nelghbois' children to kick tho family dog. To be properly Inspired at this time, the spring pot will do well to wear rubbers and keep bis eyes at an angle of 120 degrees. m The public Is ndvled to withhold Judgment on the war beef lnquliy until the evidence is In. . .

Kicking If he's busy, kicking at delay; Thus tho chronic kicker nils his llfo with woes, rrownlng, grumbling, wrangling, every where ho goes. Nothing ever suits him. always finding fault, Kv ery kind of pleasure ho Is sure to halt, Scowling at his children, growling at his wife, Turning peace and comfort Into con stant strife. Kicking If the weather happens to be dry, Kicking if tho rain Is tumbling from tho sky. Kicking In tho summer, heat has then no charm; Kicking In the winter, then ho'd havo It w arm. Kicking every mealtime, glaring at tho meat, Often ho Is saying, "Nothing fit to eat;" Kicking when he's reading, grumbling at the light, Now and then denouncing everything In eight. Kicking in the mornlnir, kicking all tho day, Kicking in tho evening, kicking should he prny Kicking while ho's thinking, kicking when in bed Wonder If he'll keep on kicking when ho's dead? -Pittsburg Chronlcle-TeiesrapU. "GREATER REPUBLIC" Prom n ltccent Opinion by Senator-elect llcverldgc, of Indiana. If It bo suld that, at home, tusks as largo as our strength uwalt us tint politics nro to bo putllled, want lellcvcd, municipal government perfected, tho ro tations of capital nnd labor better ad justed, 1 answer Has Hngland's dis charge of her duty to tho world cor rupted her politics? Aro not her cities, like Hlrmlrplin--,, ltln mui'iclpiil models upon which wo uulld our letorms? Is her labor problem molo perplexed than ours? Comildtrlng the newness of our country, Is It as bad us ours? And la not tho llko truo of Holland oven of Germany? And what of Hnglund? Hng land's Immortal glory Is not Anglncourt or Waterloo. It Is not her merchandise or commcrco. It is Austrullu, Now JJculand and Africa reclaimed. It Is India re deemed. It is Hgypt, mummy of tho na tions, touched Into modern life. Hng lnnd's Imperishable renown Is In English sclenco throttling tho plaguo In Calcutta, Hngllsh law administering order In Horn bay, Hngllsh ereigy planting nnd Indus trial civilization from Cairo to tho Cape, and Hngllsh dlsclpllno creating soldiers men and llnnlly citizens, perhaps, even out of the fellaheen of tho dead land of tho Pharaohs. And et tho liberties of Englishmen were never so secure n now. And that w hlch Is England s undy lug famo has also been her infinite profit, bo suio Is duty golden In tho end. o "And what of America? With tho twentieth century tho real task and true llfo of tho republic begins. And wo aro prepared. Wo have learned restraint lrom n hundrpil years of self-control. Wi aro Instructed by tho experience of others. We nro advised nnd inspired by present example. And our work awaits us. Tho dominant notes In American his tory havo thus far been self-government nnd Internal Improvement. Hut these were not ends only, they wcro means also. They wero modes of preparation Tho dominant notes In American 'Ife henceforth will be not only self-government and Internal development, but also administration nnd world Improvement It Is the arduous but splendid mUsion of our race. It Is ours to govern in the nnmo of civilized liberty. It Is ours to administer order nnd law In the name of human progress. It is ours to chasten that wo may be kind, It Is ours to clcanso that wo may pave, It Is ours to build that trio Institutions may finally enter and abide It Is ours to bear tho torch of Christianity where midnight has rclgn"d a thousand jears It Is ours to reinforce tint thin rl lino which constitutes the outposts of civilization all around the world. o "If It be said that this Is vaguo talk of an Indefinite future we answer that It Is tho specific progiamme of tho present hour. Civil government Is to bo perfect ed In Porto ltlro The future of Cuba Is to bo worked out by tho wisdom of events Vltlmatrlv annex itlon is as cer tain as thp Island's elstPtire.

Harbors nie ic bo dredged, sanitation established hlghwavs built, raliioads constructed, postil seivico organized, common schools opened, all by or under tho government ot tho American icpubllc. Tho Philip pines aro ours forever Let the faint hearts anoint their fears with the thought that some day American administration and American duty there may end, But they never will end England's occupa tlonof Egpt was to be temporary; but events, which aro the commands of God nro making It permanent. And now God Ins given us this Paclllo empire for civ 11 Ued administration. Tho lirst office of administration is order. Order must be established throughout tho atchlpelago. Tho spoiled child, Aguln ildo, may not stav tho march of civilization. Rebellion against the authority of tho Hag must be crushed without delay, for hesitation en courages revolt, and without anger, for the turbulent children know not what they do. And then civilization must be organized, ndmlnlstcred and maintained Law and Justice must mle where sav agery, tvranny and caprice havo rioted Tho people must be taught the art of or derly and continuous Industry. A hun dred wildernesses aro to be subdued Im penetrated vallejs must be explored. Un violated valleys must bo tilled. Unmas tered forests must bo felled Unrlven mountains must be torn asunder and their riches of Iron and gold and ores of prlco must bo delivered to the world. We nro to do in tho Philippines what Holland does in Java or England In New Zealand or tho Capo or elso work out new methods and new results of our own nobler than any the world has seen. All this Is not in definite; it Is tho very specification of dut. o "The fiall of faith declaro that theso peoples aro not fitted for citizenship. It is not proposed to make them citizens. Those who seo disaster in every forward step of tho republic prophesy that Phil ippine labor will overrun our country and starve our working men. But tho Javanese havo not so overrun Holland Now Zealand's Malays, Australia's bii3b men, Africa's Kaffirs. Zulus and Hotten tots and India's millions of surplus labc havo not so overrun England. Thoso who measuio duty by dollars cry out ut the ex pense Whc n did America ov er count the cost of righteousness.' And besides, this republic must have a mighty navy in any event. And new maikets secuied, new l-nterprlsea opened, new resources In timber, mines and products of tho tioplcs acquired and tho vltallzatlon of all our Industries which will follow will pay back a thousand fold all tho government spends in discharging tho highest duty to which tho republic can bo called. Those who mutter words and call It wisdom, deny the constitutional power of tho re public to govern Poito Itico, Cuba, tbo Philippines, for If wo havo tho power In Porto HIco wo havo the power In tho Phil ippines. Tho constitution is not inter preted by degrees of latitude or longitude. All protests against the greater republic aio tolerable except this constitutional objection. Tho moat magnificent fact In history is tho mighty movement and mis sion of our race, and tho most splendid phaso of that world-redeeming move ment Is tho entrance of the American people as the greatest forco In nil tho earth to do their part in administering civilization among mankind, and they are not to bo halted by a rock of words called constitutional arguments. Pretend, ers to legal learning have always de nounced all virile Interpretations of the constitution. Tho so-called constitutional lawyers In Marshall's day said that he did not understand tho constitution, be causo ho looked, not at Its syllables, but survejed tbo whole Instrument and be held In Us profound meaning and In finite scope tho sublime human processes of which It Is an expression. Tho con stitution Is not a prohibition of our prog ress. It is rot an Intcullct to our des tiny. It Is not a treatise on geography. Let tho flag advanco, tho word 'retreat' is not in the constitution. Let tho re public govern as conditions demand, tho constitution doe3 not benumb its brain nor palsy its hand o "Tho Declaration of Independence up piles only to peoples capablo of self-government. Otherwise, how dared we ad minister the affairs of tho Indians? How daro wo contlnuo to govern them to day? Precedent docs not Impair natural and Inalienable right. And how is the world to bo prepared for self-government? Savagery cannot prepare Itself. I)arbailem must be nsslsted toward tne light. Assuming that these people can bo mado capable of self-government, shall wo havo no part in this sacred and glorious cause? And If self-government Is not possible for them, shall wo leave them to themselves Shall tribal wars Bcourge them, dlseaso waste them, sav ngery brutalUo them moro and more? Shall their fields He fallow, their forests rot, their mines remain scaled, und all tho purposes and possibilities of nature be nullified? If not, who shall govern them rather than the kindest and most merciful of tho world's great raco of ad ministrators, tho peoplo of tho Amerlcnn republic? Who lifted from us tho Judg ment which makes men of our blood our brothers' keepers? o "Wo do not deny them liberty. Tho administration of orderly government Is not denial of liberty. Tho administra tion of equal Jiistlco is not tho denial of liberty. Teaching tho habits of Industry Is not denial of liberty. Development ot tho wealth of tho land Is not dcnlul ot liberty. If they are, then civilization it relf Is denial of liberty. Denial of liberty to whom? There nro twelve million of peoplo In tho Philippines, divided Into thirty tribes. Agulnaldo Is of tho Tagal trlbo of two million souls, and ho has an Intermittent nuthorlty over less than W.OOO ot these. To deliver theso conti nental Islands to him and his ciew would bo to establish an nutocnicy of barb ir ism. It would bo to license spoliation, It would bo to plant tho republic of piracy, for such a government could not prevent tbat crlmo In piracy's natural home. It would bo to make war certain among tho powers ot earth, who would dispute, with nrms, each other's possess ion of a Pacific empire from which that ocean can bo ruled. Tio blood already shed ts but a drop to that which would flow If America would desert Its post In tho Paclllc. And tho blood already spilled was poured out upon tho altar of tho world's regeneration. Manila Is ns noblo as Omdurman, and both nio holler than Jericho. Ilctreat from tho Philippines on any pretext would be the master cowardlco of history. It would bo tho betrayal of a trust as paend as human ity. It would bo a crlmo against Chris tian clvlliz.atlcn, and would mark tho beginning ot tho decadence of our rare. And so, thank God, tho republic novor retreats. o "Tho fervent moral rcsolvo throughout tho republic Is not 'a fever of expansion.' It Is a tremendous awakening of tho peo ple, llko that of Elizabethan England It Is ro fever, but tho hot blood of tho most magnificent young manhood of nil time; a manhood begotten while jet tho splendid moral rasslon of tho war for national llfo tilled tho thought of nil tho land with Ideals worth dying for, nnd charged Its very atmosphere with noblo purposes und a courage which dared put destiny to tho touch a manhood which contains n million Koosovelts. Woods, Hobsons and Duboces, who gilcve that thej, too, may not soon conspicuously servo their country, civilization and ram. kind. Indeed, theso heroes are great be cause they aro typical. American man hood today contains the master admin istrators of tho world and they go forth for the healing of tho nations. They go forth In the cause of civilization. They go forth for tho betterment of man; they go forth, and the word on their lips Is. Christ and His peace not conquest and its pillage They go forth to prepvro the peoples, through decades, and may bo centuries, of patient effort, for the gieat gift of American institutions. They go forth, not for imperialism, but for the greater republic. o "The republic never retreats Its flag Is tho only flag that has never known de feat. Whero the flag leads wo follow, for we know that tho hand that boars It on ward Is the unseen hand ot God. Wo fol low tho flag and Independence Is ours. Wo follow the Hag and nationality Is ours Wo follow tho flag and oceans nro ruled. We follow the flag and. In Occi dent nnd Orient tyranny falls and bar barism Is subdued. We follow the flag at Trenton and Vnlley Torge, at Saratoga and uponthocrimson seas, nt Buena Vista and Chapultepec, at Gettysburg and Mis sionary Ridge at Santiago and Manila, nnd everywhere nnd always It means larger liberty, nobler opportunity and greater human happiness."
