Hon. Tom Heed hns thus far ncglort

Invitation to run ns a. presidential can
didate on nn Impromptu antl-Imperlal-Ist
ticket.
The Convention's Work.
I.aylnK aside the nnttural disappoint
ment of tho people of Northeastern
Pennsylvania over the failure of Judpe
Archbald'B cnndldncy a disappoint
ment shared by a vry large number
of the more Intelligent Republicans
throughout tho comnuonwenlth the re
sults registered yestierday nt Hnrrls
burg will doubtless sntlsfy the regular
membership of tho party and receive
Its cordial Indorsement. The ticket is
clsan nnd respectable; tho platform la
sound In principle: and though tho
time be what Is known as nn oft year
there Is 'the proximity of n presidential
contest to warrant exceptional vigor In
tho effort to maintain party majorities.
The nominee for the position of
chief Importance, .T. liny Urown, Is
concedodly nn able nnd honorable at
torney ranking among the foremost
members of the bar In Pennsylvania.
Vo did not consider him Judge Arch
bald's equal nnd his nomination does
nor change our estimate, but he Is
nominated, hW election In any event
Is assured, nnd he will of course re
ceive the entire Republican vote, for
whntover objection may exist ns to the
method by which his nomination "was
brought about In the face ot a repre
sentative popular demand for the nom
ination of nn experienced Jurist, It
cannot hold Sir. Brown responsible.
Tin honor was thrust upon him. Of
the nominee for Judge of tho Superior
court we know little but accept the
word of those who pronounce him to
be worthy of the place.
The selection for state treasurer dis
arms Insurgent criticism by reason of
his having been upon past oc
casions something of nn Insur
gent himself, and he appeals
to the sympathies of straight
Kepubllcnns by having recently per
formed heroic service on distant battle-fields
In execution of the national
policy of Republican origin which Is
to be the chief target of Democratic
attack In the next ensuing presidential
campaign. Colonel Rarnett Is a prac
tical expansionist who .typifies the new
creed and purposes of tho Republican
party, nnd ho Is moreover a civilian ot
character and administrative experi
ence well fitting him to bo the cus
todian of the commonwealth's finances.
Though it failed, the candidacy ot
Judge Archbald won the respect of
every observer of its methods. Time
will show that this means much.
The western meat packers will do
well not to attempt to squeeze the
consumer In too relentless a manner.
Some excellent beef has been raised
upon farms in the east.
Manila Inseparable.
In answering the critics who an
probably prompted in most cases by
the Influence of tricky Democracy, the
Commercial Advertiser" presents the
situation In the Philippines in a logical
manner that should carry weight with
those who are disposed to look at tho
vexed question with any degree of fair
ness. It is common for critics of the
President, says the Advertiser, to ask
reproachfully why he did not keep
Manila for a commercial port and naval
station In the east and leave the rest
of the Philippines to the Tngals. Then,
they say. there would have been no
war; we should have had nil the sub
stantial advantages of possession of
the islands, with the good will of the
natives, nnd without the burden of
governing them.
This Is a very seductive proposition,
since It offers the profits of sovereignty
without Its responsibilities. It had pos
session of most American minds n
year ago, and was scarcely dislodged
from most before the signing of tho
treaty. Only persons (whoso oillclnl
rsonslbllltles compelled thorough
study of all conditions and com
pleto consideration of the subject on
all sides realized tho futility of It.
The peace commissioners went to
Paris with some such ldcn, which af
terward expanded to taking the IslanJ
of Luzon alone. All these were aban
doned on conviction thut the islands
could not be divided without breeding
endless conflict nnd permanent an
archy. This conclusion, which the ad
ministration nnd tho peace commis
sioners reached theoretically, has been
demonstrated practically since for nil
the world to see.
Kvents have proved that tho Insur
gents never would havo been content
without Manila, the commercial and
political centra of the lHlands, oven had
they been able to organize the rest of
them under a government civilization
rould endure. That Is tho goal of nil
their deBlres, und was the object of
their first outbreak. Through It pass
most of tho revenues of trade, anil
theso are what the Insurgents are most
eager to handle. The city In our hands
would havo been In a perpetual stato
of alegM of arms or intrigue. Had an
imlcablo division been possible, It
vould have been impossible to live tin
Ser it nfter. Manila is tho outlet of
trade of tho Island and the terminal
)f its one railroad. Industry and com
merce could not go on with a polltl-ja-bqundrj
, ciiftoja, Vvousgs and
revenue ductals separating It from the
rest. There Is no case In history where
occupation of a commercial city has
not compelled conquest ot tho Interior.
Hong Kong is not a Chinese city, but
nn Kngllsh Island colony, and Singa
pore Is tho name.
Wo could not have traded In the
lslnnds, with Manila alone Ameri
can, without encountering piracy nt
every point out of tho reach of our
navy's guns. Gen. Otis tried this when
Ira opened the ports of Luzon to trnde.
Our sailors were raptured when they
landed nnd shot from tho shore, and
flnnlly a merchant vessel bearing the
American Hag was wrecked, sacked
and burned In Ungnyen liny. This
outrage caused the closing of tho ports
till all shall bo under American control.
The fact Is that tho war began, not
because we asked -more than Manila,
but because we kept 'that. We were
attacked In the city before we attacked
tho country. It is tho one thing the In
surrection wants.
Mayor Jones, of Toledo, has an
nounced his platform as candidate for
governor of Ohio. Tho chief plank Is
the abolition of all parties with direct
nomination by tho people and direct
making of laws by the people. In oth
er words the mayor would have a uni
versal mlx-up such ns I.ncltuwnnna
county has had a small but Interesting
sample of under its own version of the
Crawford county system.
A New Danger in Cuba.
Miss Clara Rarton, president of the
National Red Cross society, calls at
tention to the new evil that will menaco
Cuba, If the starving offspring from
the reconcentrndos are not provided
with food. Miss Rarton says that a
Cuban war will bo tho outcome of tho
situation unless the halt-starving boys
und girls In the woods ore cared for.
Starvation has taught the little ones
to look out for themselves on that Isl
and and Is still teaching them bitter
lessons. If food Is not given them they
will steal It. In this way they take
tho first steps In brlgandngo. If the
police prevent them from securing food
In tho cities they take to the woods
and get it the best way they can. They
become bands of desperate marauders.
Within ten years, If these evils are
not adjusted, tho United States will
find that the Cuban woods are filled
with brigands and another war with
the United, States will be necessary
to suppress them.
The government should lose no time
In nctlng upon the suggestion given
in Miss Rarton's view of the situation.
It will bo far better for the govern
ment to appropriate money at once
for the purpose of taking caro of the
unfortunate young people who were
made orphans through Wcyler's bru
tality than to use It a few years hence
In suppressing an evil that has been
forced upon them. Voluntary sub
scriptions should not bo relied upon
to provide food for these homeless chil
dren. Kven though Miss Rarton's view
may be considered nn extreme one, the
presence of such suffering and destitu
tion among the orphan class should bo
a ehallenge to the good olflees of Amer
ican phllantrophy, both private and
olllclul.
Tho Baroness de RothschlId.lt is said,
owns the finest collection of fans In
Europe. In this country they are gen

A Boyal Sufferer.
A report from Paris states that the
Czar of Russia Is suffering from am
nesia and must undergo a trepanning
operntlon, the result of which Is most
uncertain, notwithstanding the recent
advances in surgical solence.
Amnesia Is a common form of cepha
sla.which hns been frequently heard of
In connection with General Rutterfield's
recent Illness. Divested of technical
terms it Is an affection of the left
side of tho brain, causing the patient
to lapse Into a morliid condition In
which he Is unable to recall a word
When It Is wanted In conversation or
often to understand It when uttered.
It is in fact a loss of memory with
acute symptoms. While It Is Inde
pendent of Impairment of tho Intellec
tual processes. It seriously affects tho
faculty of using and understanding
written and spoken language.
It Is now asserted In some quarters
that tho Czar has suffered from men
tal Illusions ever since his necesslon to
the throne, and that the only hope of
continuing the dynasty of Nicholas I
lies In the delicate trepanning opsrn
tlon which may bo immediately un
dergone In Darmstadt. While this af
fliction if It Is truly reported will be
balled with more or less Joy by a
considerable proportion of the emper
or's subjects the conservative thought
ful people of civilization will learn
with regret thut such a dire fate
threatens a man whose career thus far
promises exceptional advance for one
of his nico and station.
Timely suggestions upon street Im
provement are made in a letter from
Mr. W. II. Richmond which appears
In another column' of The Trlbuno to
day. A viaduct from Mulberry street
to tho Providence road which will af
ford passage for teams as well as
street cars Is something that Is badly
needed In Scranton. In spite of all
Improvements the Carbon street ap
proach to Providence road, which Is
one of the main thoroughfares of tho
city, will still bo a disgrace under
present arrangements. There Is no
wuy in which money may be expend
ed In street Improvement that will be
more effective than In tho proposed
scheme that will do away with tho
grade crossings nn the Delaware and
Hudson and Ontario and Western lines
which are a constunt menace to those
who are obliged to tra,vel by tho
Providence road.

honor hnn contained a record of the
bravo deeds ot Pennsylvania soltllerrt,
und we extend to those now returning
front the Philippine Islands a hearty
welcome, nnd express our admiration
for the courage nnd bravery with
which they upheld the Hag of their
Cbuntry and the honor of our state,
The Tenth Pennsylvania, under the
leadership of the courageous and
lamented Hawkins, occupied the hon
orable position of bchiK tho only regi
ment east ot the Mississippi river
chosen for campaign service In the ills
tant 'Philippines, nnd It Ir now a mut
ter of nntlonal history that they met
tho highest expectations of thono who
selected them for this patriotic service.
American Industry.
To give continual employment to the
Industry, Ingenuity und skill ot the
American mechanic nnd laborer we
must find new markets nbroad for our
surplus products. Tho commercial con
trol of additional territory will afford
now markets which will necessarily In
crease our commerce nnd develop our
manufacturing Interests. We have
ceased tv be content with supplying
products for home consumption alone.
We must keep pace with other nations
In seeking new fields for our com
merce, and to this end to support tho
policy of industrial, commercial and
nntlonal expansion.
Wo favor for our nntlonal defense
and tho protection of closer commer
cial relations between the sections of
our vast territory, now an Imperative
necessity, tho Immediate commence
ment and early completion of a great
canal that will give communication be
tween the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
ns well as Us protection against for
eign control.
Wo favor the building up of our mer
chant marine upon the lines laid out
by the bills reported favorably to the
senate and house, second session,
Fifty-fifth congress, so that we may
have a reserve defense in case of war,
and that two hundred million dollars
ot freightage, now paid to foreign
ships, may remain to the. American
shipbuilder, the American shipowner,
the American seaman and the Ameri
can mechanic.
We believe the best Interests of labor
will bo conserved 'by the continuance
of Republican supremacy In state and
Union. Wo express our approval of the
right of labor to organize as well as
capital, and believe that such organ
ization properly and lawfully con
trolled, will accomplish better results
for both tho employe and employer.
We recognize that the perpetuity ot
our Institutions depends upon the giv
ing to labor the fullest and freest op
portunity to better its condition by
securing employment under the most
favorable circumstances.
Commendation, of Governor Stone.
We commend the wise business-like
and courageous administration of our
distinguished governor, William A.
Stone. As chief executive he has shown
a disposition to servo the best Inter
ests of the whole people and to con
duct his administration on lines of
common honesty and business-like sa
gacity. Like an Individual, a state
must live within Its income. An indi
vidual who pays out more money than
ho receives becomes Insolvent, and a
state that adopts tho same policy must
sink In credit. We therefore uphold
the governor In his policy of reducing
the expenditures of the stato so that
they shall not exceed our Income. The
largest support should be given to our
charitable, eleemosynary, penal and
educational institutions, but appropri
ations should not be made even for
theso worthy purposes beyond tho an
nual revenues of the state. If addi
tional revenues are required we favor
taxation of Incorporated capital and
organized trusts so that the public bur
dens may be more fully and equally
distributed.
We commend the good Judgment of
the Republicans of Pennsylvania In
their selection of representatives In
both branches of the national congress.
They fitly and properly represent the
great commercial, industrial and busi
ness Interests of our commonwealth.
The Republican party owes a debt of
gratitude to Its senior United States
senator, Matthew Stanley Quay, who
for more than a quarter of a century
has stood In the forefront of the battle
of Republican supremacy. Our state is
entitled to a full representation In the
United States senate, and we endorse
the notion of the governor In making
his nppolntment to fill a vacancy
caused by the failure of the last legis
lature to elect.
Wo commend' the faithful attention
with which tho public business entrust
ed to our Junior senutor, Rolse Pen
rose, has been transacted. As a mem
ber of the committee on commerce ho
has secured the appropriations of mill
ions of dollars for the improvement ot
sluek-water navigation In Eastern
Pennsylvania nnd for a deep channel
In tho Delaware river. He has been
assiduous in the performance of the
many duties exacted from him as a
representative of this great state, and
merits the approbation ot his constit
uents. Economy in the Affairs of State.
We favor the economical administra
tion of stnte affairs and demand tho
prompt settlement and collection of all
claims and taxes due by individuals,
companies and corporations. We also
favor the prompt payment of school
warrants drawn upon the treasurer, so
that each district shall be paid as soon
as the appropriation Is needed and de
mand made for the payment hereof.
We believe In reducing tho expenses
ot tho judicial, executive und legisla
tive branches of the state government
to the minimum so that the public ex
penditures shall not exceed the annual
revenues.
It Is a source of gratification to re
call that our state has never 1 t a
dollar by reason ot tho negligence, de
fault or dishonesty of uny of Its ac
counting olllcers, and we especially
commend the business-like and effic
ient administration of the retiring stato
trensurer, James S. Deacom.
We welcome, thrice welcome within
the borders of our magnificent com
monwealth and to our empire city, un
equaled In hospitality tho brave sol
diers, sailors and marines who fought
the long nnd terrible struggle for the
preservation of our Constitution the
supremacy of law and union of our
states, Their victories are historical.
The consummation of their matchless
bravery nnd work Is a saved republic,
unrivalled in tho governments of the
world and a united people of 70.000,000
happy, prosperous und contented.
Pennsylvania gave to the army of the
Union nearly 400.000 soldiers, sailors
and marines, Thoso who remain will
Join the vast body of our people, who
with hparts throbbing with love and
gratitude acclaim all honor to tho sol
diers that found at Oottyaburg tho
high tide of ibbelllori and, driving from
our state the Invading army, first
marked tho receding tide of rebellion.
Commends the Export Exposition.
We commend tho patriotic and prac
tical work which Is being so success
fully performed by tho Philadelphia
Commercial Museum In securing wider
foreign markets for the products of
American labor In this state und else
where, In securing for our manufac
turers now nnd desirable foreign con

SPEECH OF MR. IXEITZ.
A Glowing Tribute to Lackawanna'
Eminent Jurist.
Sir. Chairman and Gentlemen of tho
Convention.
Wo are citthrred here today ns repre
sentatives of the dominant party ot tho
great ltepubllcnn Commonwealth of
I'l-nn-vlvnnla to formulate a platform
and to hotnlhnto the c-iihrildutcH who Hhall
act us HtHiiutml-ticnrerx in tho coming
cntnpnlgn. Tills Is what Is popularly
known as tin "off year" In politic! but
when Wo tako Into consideration tho fort
that one of the candidates this day
named U to kit In tho highest Judicial
trlbuntit of tho state tho court of lust
resort to pnsn finally upon the questions
HON. ROBERT W. ARCHIBALD.
Involving the property and personal lib
erty of tho humblest citizen as well as
the greatest corporation for a term
amounting to practically a life tcnurci
it needs no words of mine to emphasize
the Importance of honest and deliberate
action on tho part of tho convention.
And more ordinarily the cholco of a
convention like this must recelvo tho en
dorsement and ratification of tho people
at the polls, but, Under tho peculiar con
ditions existing at this time, wo are not
only to nnmo a candidate for this ofllce,
but virtually to cltct him. Putting him
on tho ticket Is In effect banding him his
commission. Wo nre not only represent
ing our people In selecting a candidate,
but ure In effect casting their ballots for
him nt the. samo time.
It Is, therefore, clearly tho duty of ev
ery delegate In this convention to cast his
vote In accordance with what he believes
or knows to bo the wishes and sentiment
of his people, untrammelled nnd un
moved by personal appeals or the pros
pect of personal advantage. To do other
wise, for whatsoever reason, will be a
betrayal of tho trust reposed In him and
will, and should, expose him to the swift
and sure condemnation of his constitu
ents. Tho one Important test which should bo
applied to the candidacy of each aspirant
Is that of personal fitness for the office.
A praetlco which hus grown Into a prece
dent Is to nominate for this high and
honorable position only men who have
demonstrated their ability and Judicial
fitness on the common pleas bench. 'J bis
Is a most excellent rule and Its wtsdo'm
has caused It to be followed, not only by
our party, but by our political opponents.
Tho known wishes ot tho bench nnd the
bar ot .the various counties should bo
also considered, because of their pceu'lar
opportunities to judge of tho qualifica
tions of the candidates.
Solicitations of a political and perirenal
nature, whether from party leaders or in
terested organizations, In behalf of new
nnd untried men, should not be permitted
to over-ride the claims ot honest merit
and fulthful service, backed by strong
public sentiment. The fountain head
of justice must remain uncontainlnated
by undue lnunenco or nil Kinds, ir me
liberties of the peoplo are to be pro
served. The man whom I am about to nnmo
possesses In u marked degree all the
claims to the position which have a rlRbt
to bo considered by nny delegate In this
convention. Rom of sturdy Scotch par
entage, graduating with high honors from
one of the great universities of this
country, he was ndmltted to tho bar In

Notwithstanding tho arduous duties of

The high esteem In which ho Is held

QUIET HOME WEDDING.
J. Harry Fisher and Mrs. A. M.

Hon. John R. Farr, Hon. J. C.

received from him tho assurance that
he would make every effort to do so.
It wns feared that the Grand Army

A Timely Suggestion.
Editor of Tho Tribune.
Sir: As reported, the street car com
pany will build a viaduct or bridge from
Mulberry street to Proldeuco road near
tho power house. AVhy will not tho city
Join In the improvement and muko It of
sufficient capacity to afford a desirable
route to and from tho central city for
all travel that now has to pass In through
that unsightly and narrow Carbon street,
and thus avoid crossing the Now York,
Ontario nnd Delaware and Hudson
tracks? If It may bo that tho city can
not avail of funds for tho purpose, can
It not compensato the street rallwa com
pany for tho extra expense of a more
elaborate structure by nn annual pay
ment of a proper amount temporarily un
til funds can be provided to pay Its share
of tho expense? A roadway twenty feet
wider than that needed by the street rail
read might answer very well, nnd tho
extra cash should not bo large. There
seems to be good reasons why some plan
should bo adopted, and It is hoped Tho
Trlbuno will thoroughly discuss the
question. Wm. 11. Richmond.

Mr. Charles Austin Hales, the famous advertising writer, makes a specialty

Ripaes TafouSes:
" l had the formula anil went through It from llir ground up. I found that every
one of the ingredients was nut in for sonic special purpose, nnd was good for the
purpose intendrd,' I have as much confidence In l.ipans Tabules as I have in any
thing I ever wrote about. I take them myself when I have eaten a little too much
or feel nausea or symptoms of headache coming on, and I find them quicker to act
than any medicine I ever look. You can feel their action iu the ktomach almost
immediately ; a very pleasant tensation. I know ionic people who think they can't
possibly get along without tliem. My wife went to call cmc day on some friends
