The .crct of success In .lolltlcs, as In advertising1. Is to keen everlast ingly at It. Kepuhllcan victory In pres idential campaigns Is only In nart achieved by the energies put forth In the years In which presidential electors me chosen. Hack of thoo energie", the foundation stones upon which pres idential tilumph Is bullded, are the Biiccesses won In state and local con tests, whereby warty organization is maintained. The present campalsn In this state nnd In this county Is not unimportant. The olllccs to be lilted are Important ones, having much to do with good gov ernment. Khpeclally is this ttue of the county offices to bo filled on Nov. 7. Does nnv intelligent Republican need to be told that If a majority of the next county commlslonets aio Demo crats, they will use the patronage of their ofllce to hinder Republican effort next fall? Is it not auu.uent that Demociatlc auditors would be under the temptation to manufacture political capital for the use of their party in subsequent campaigns? Tho presence of minority representation on the boar.1 of commlFloncis and on the board of auditors insures the nubile that tho majority will not carry on with a high hand, It is a check and a substantial check upon Improper piocecdlngs in these offices. But without impropriety and In the efficient disehaigo of tho public business a majority on both boaids mav so make appointments ns to aid in the organization of the po litical forces of the party to which tho majority representation belongs: and in this proper way advantage the party in its great campaigns on overshadow ing Issues. We piesent this argument ns a fitting reason why every earnest Republican should this year take an active ner sonal interest In the success of his par ty ticket. All factional and personal considerations should bo subordinated to the rolling up of an effective nnd an impressive Republican majority In state and county. The candidates, one and all, deserve this by their personal and party records; and its accomplish ment is essential to wholesome narty vitality and to the success of party principles. The report that General Rio del Pilar has offered to sell Aguinaldo and tho Filipino "republic" for $500,000 has raised a question as to who owns the Tairal insurrection. Marvelous Prosperity. -y EST SOMn of our readers n should not have read In cs- - terday's issue the highly in structs o address of United States Treasurer Roberts before tho fPenns lvanla Bankers' association in this city, we desire in this place to ic peat some of the facts of recoid con tained in it. They make a wonderful object lesson teaching the piospeilty of our country under a Republican na tional administration. You will remember that Mr. Brvnii, In 1896, affirmed that there wasn't enough gold in the world to sufllce as a monetary basis; that If free siler coinage were not adopted In this country the "money powers" of Europe would take our gold away from us, that thereby the gold dollar would be come scarcer and scarcer, and dearer nnd denrer, until, measured in proper ty, it would eat up the saving" of labor and take from the farmer his hard earned farm. To make his point clear er, he sometimes dramatically nskeJ his auditors how many of them had ever seen;a. pold dollar or a gold coin of any-Kind Bearing this in mind, wo ire piopared'tolicar from the treasurer of tho United States. "The currency situation," says he, "has some features of real and robust strength. In the first place, as tho rorncr-stonp of all our monev, icsta a volumo of gold in tho treasury larger than ever borore. It is also true that In the banks and the hands of the people tho yellow metal is held beyond a)l precedent. The gold coin in circu lation increased during tho year ending September 1st, by $42,239,1)20, and dur ing September, Including gold certifi cates, by n further sum of $3,612,566. Se tide of gold has flowed steadily tho business of the country ' the mints and assay offices, , ' customs and tho weneral ro , M,the country. for many v March, 1898, tho customs Sost fboiiv In acer. with many months showing not a frac tion of Rold. In tho fiscal year 1S9S, tho percentage of customs paid in New York In gold wns 20.4, In tho fiscal year 1899, It was 78.5, nnd from July 1 to October 1, 1S99, was 84.2. Tor all of September Just past , this percentage rose to 91.5. The contrast in the use of gold In the general transactions of tho government in tho fiscal years 1S98 and 1S99, is noteworthy. In the former out of receipts of $2,076,720,587, 10.03 per cent, wns In gold coin, and of $2,195, 973,013 disbursements 11.83 per cent., while In tho latter year, of receipts amounting to $2,393,199,747, 37.C per cent, wns in gold coin, and of $2,371,283,029 disbursements 35.37 was In gold coin. In the quarter from July to October of the current year the percentages of gold weie still larger." It Is not necessary to rely wholly upon Mr. Roberts' word for this. Every wage-earner In Lackawanna county knows from experience that gold has been plentiful during the past year by plentiful we mean In free clrcult tlon In payment of wages and that tho man who now can say that he has never seen a gold coin must be a man who refuses to work for hjs living and Is Kept by tho Industry of others. AVe havo heard mnny complalntB that theio is too much gold In circulation for the comfort of those who have to make out large pay-rolls, gold in quan tity being heavy nnd inconvenient to handle. "The tesult has been," adds Treas urer Roberts, "that the treasmy 1 eld the flist of October, 1S9S, in gold $278, C91.452, gross, nnd this became $353, 002,379 at tho opening of the current month. On the 17th of October the gross amount stood at $373,122,915, the largest sum before tho present year being $332,551,306, while tlie maximum net was reached October 12, at $25S, 081,565. The gold certificates which ex plain the difference between gross and net had not been Issued for several years and had long stood at from $35, 000,000 to $3S,000,O0O. Since August 7, when tho Issue was tesumed, gold cer tificates hae been put out to the amount of $112,401,730, and stood Oc tober 17 at $117,906,CS0. Of the total money in circulation at tho beginning of this month 38 24 per cent, was in gold, including gold certificates." Think what this means! Pretty neatly one-half of all tho monev now in circulation among the people is gild ,co!n or gold certificates; and the vol ume of that circulation Is greater than at any prior tlmo in tho history of tho government, nmounting at last reports almost to $26 per capita. Thus do tna facts of record nnd of eery-day popu lar experience rise up nnd smite the arguments put forth by Colonel Bryin in his sophistical campaign of 1S96 and mailc him out ns an unsafe leader; to be followed in 1900. Democratic small organs who cannot think of anything else to say regaid ing Colonel Bamett nro now finding fault with him because he did not re main at Manila instead of coming home when tho gallant Tenth regiment was mustered out. This Is but another Il lustration of tho desperation of the ad vocate who has no case. Expansion the Rule. (President McKlrlcy at Minneapolis.) WHEN THE Federal Union was formed we held 909, 763 square miles of terri tory and In les than 100 years we have grown to 3,843,513 square miles. The firstacquisition, in 1S03, known as the "Louisiana rurchase," embiaced 883,072 square miles, exclu sive of the area west of the Rocky Mountains. Its vastness and value will be best understood when I say that it comprises the entire states of Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebras ka, North and South Dakota and parts of tho states of Minnesota, Kansa, Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, Louisi ana, all of Indian territory and part of Oklahoma territory It would seem almost incredible to tho present gen eration that this rich addition to tho federal domain should have been op posed; and yet it was resisted in every form and by every kind of assault. Tho ceded territory was characterized as a "malarial swamp," its Drairis destitute of trees or vegetation. It was commonly charged that we had been cheated by giving $15,000,000 for a territory so worthless and rstllert tlal that it could never be inhabited or put to use; and It was also gravely asserted that the purchase would lead to complications and wais with Euro pean powers. In tho debate in the senate over the treaty, a distinguished senator fiom Connecticut said. "The vast and un manageable extent which tho accession of Louisiana will gle tho United States; the consequent dispersion of our population, nnd the destruction of that balance which It Is so Important to maintain between the Eastern and Western states, thtentens, nt no very distant day, the sub-dlvlslon of our Vnlon." A distinguished senator fiom Delaware said: "But as to Louisiana, this new. Immense, unbounded woild If It should ever bo Incorporated into tlu Union, of which I have no Idea, nnd which can only bo done by amend ing the constitution, I believe it will be the greatest curse that could at present befall us. It may bo produc tive of innumerable evils, and especially" of one that I fear to ever look upon. Our citizens will bo removed to the immense distance of two or three thou sand miles from tho capital of tho Union, where they will scaicely ever feel tho rays of the general govern ment their affections will become alienated. They will gradually begin to view us as strangers they will form other commercial connections nnd our interests will become distinct." Imperialism had a chief place In tho catalogue of the disasters which would follow the ratification of this treaty, and It was alleged that this was the first and suro step to the creation of an empire and the subversion of the constitution. The opponents, however, were in the minority; tho star of the Republic did not set, and tho mighty West was brought under the flag of Justice, freedom and opportunity. In 1819 we added 69,749 square miles, which now comprise Florida and parts of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisi ana. In 1845 we received the cesmlon of Texas. It contained 376,931 square miles, and embraced tho ntnto of Tex as and parts of Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming nnd New Mexico. Tho next cession was under the treaty of 1843, containing 522,563 square miles, embracing tho states of California, Nevada, Utah and parts of Colorado and Wom!ng, and of tho territories of Arizona and New Mexico. In 1853 wo acquired by tho Gadsden purchase 45,633 square miles, which embraces parts of Arizona and New Mexico. The next great acquisition was tYiat of Alaska, In 1867, containing 599,446 square miles. This treaty, like that for the "Louisiana Purchase," woo fiercely resisted. When tho house had under consid eration the bill appropriating the sum of $',200,000, tho nmount of purchase money for Alaska agreed upon by tho treaty, the minority report on that bill quoted approvingly an article which characterized Alaska ns a "terra Incognita" nnd "that persons well In formed as to Alaska are ungrateful enough to hint that we could have bought a much superior elephant in Slam or Bombay for one-hundredth part of tho money with not a ten-thousandth part of expense Incurred In transporting the animal in proper con dition." The minority report proceed ed to say that "the committee having considered the various questions in volved and the evidence in regard to this country under consideration arc forced to the conclusion that the pos session of the country Is of no value to tho government of; 'the United States; that it will be a source of weakness Instead of power and a con stant nnnunl expense for which there will be no adequate return: that it has no capacity as an agricultural country; that so far as known it hns no value as a mineral country; that its fur trade is of Insignificant value to us as a nation nnd will speedily como to an end; that the fisheries are of doubtful value, and that whatever tho value of Its fisheries, its fur trade, its timber and its minerals, they were all open to the citizens of the United States under existing treaies; that the right to govern the nation or nations of savages in a climate unfit for tho habitation of civilized men was not worthy of purchase. They, therefore, report the following resolution: 'Re solved, That it is inexpedient to ap propriate money for the purchase of Russian America.' " In the debate in tho house a distinguished representa tive fiom Massachusetts said: "If we are to paj for Russia's friendship this nmount, I desire to give her the $7,200, 000 nnd let her keep Alaska. I have no doubt that at any time within the last twenty years we could have had Alas ka for the asking, provided wo would have taken it as a gift; but no man, except one Insane enough to buy the earthquakes of St. Thomas and the ice fields of Greenland, could be found to agree to any other terms for Its ac quisition to this country." To this treaty the opponents were in the mi nority, and that great, rich territory, from which we have drawn many and many times over its purchase price, and with phenomenal wealth yet unde veloped, is ours in spite of their oppo sition. The New York Central and Hudson River railroad announces that it has abandoned the use of soft coal on Its tugs in New York haibor and on all its engines that enter tho city. Tho pas senger engines will use anthracite and the freight engines coke. If this sac rifice can be made in the Interest of cleanliness and good health in a locali ty where soft coal Is a dangerous com petitor, there certainly seems little ex cuse for the burning of soft coal in a city like Seranton, where anthracite can be had almost for a song. Colonel Bryan "dares the Republican party to defend the title by purchase of 10,000,000 men," Yet Colonel Bryan lives in a state, the territory of which was originally purchased by the Unit ed States, in exactly as legitimate a manner as the Philippines were pur chased; and the title to the control of the natives inhabiting which stood on all fours with our piesent sovereignty In the Philippines. We hardly need remind our readers that we refer to the Louisiana purchase, well described elsow here. When a government Imperils tho pcoplo of a country in a causeless, agresslvo war, and not In self preservation, that government becomes a despotic usurpa tion. Tho president la now en gaged dally in his boy high-school exhi bition of flag balderdash. Seranton Times. These references nre to the Philip pines and to the president's recent speeches. How do decent citizens like them? The shocking catastrophe at Blng hnmton tho other day In which a num ber of men were killed bv the collnose of a floor of the new Boston store building, Indicates that a bulldinsr In spector is needed in tho Parlor City. Democratic papers ate now publish ing Candidate Creasey's pledges in bold type. Como to think of it, Candi date Cteasy is safe in making any kind of a pledge, the fulfilment of which depends upon his election. LITERARY NOTES.

Ono day, saj h Collier's Wcekly.tho news of tho ilcpanuro of Camura's squadron for Manila brought the udmlrnl face to frtco with u third simple pioposltlou, which ho solved as easily us ho had solved the first two, Mo wroto a cubleg.iun to bo suit to tho navy derailment, miiKcst ing that Uumara would itiin bade if tho United States vvcro to make a Demonstra tion on tho coast of Spain. "1 hud better ottend tj my own nf falra," ho said to Captain Lanibcrtcn, on second thought. "Advicu to Iho depart, mint from this Olstain'o comis with poor taste, t fear. "i should llko to f.r.iiv who has a rlsht tj i.iakc a si-jvstion If you haven't," slid the (-upturn "You havo whipped one Hoot in this h.irb i nnd it Is jolt who will havo to fight Cumuru If ho comes." Tho cablegram wnsvHcnt, and It hud tho desired result, as wo know. Thero was no objection to tho publication in Ameri can, and especially In Spanish papers of tho intention of tho nav department to send a squadron ucrors tho Atlantic uu der tho command of Commodoro Watson. Cumara having paid 9 heavy toll to pass through Suez, passed buck again, nnd thug, hy tho foresight of tho admiral, bloodshed and enough vessels for tho nu cleus of a now Spnnlsh navy vvero bpaicd. Meantime ho had decided what ho wou'd do If Camara came. "Supposing 1 wero to snll out of tho bay ana leave you nnd vour forco to jour own resources for tew .lavs, what would ou do?' ho aMcd Maior tleneral Anderson "Take thlitv duv3' rations, go to (no mountains, build trencher nnd bo pcifcct ly comfortable," was tho reply. As Camara will nrrivo two or tnrco das beforo tho Monterey, and I need her," wus the icply, "I cluill sail west ward to meet her, and then return to meet th enemy " Though infeilor in weight of metal to Camura's squadron, there could havo been llttlo doubt of tho result if he had faced Cumaia without tho Monterey's assist ance. A victory without tho Monterey would havo meant more glory for his command than victory with the Monterey. Hut a victory without the Monterey might havo entailed moro loss of llfo and moic damage to our vessels than otherwise. As tho admiral understands tho art of war, It Is not brilliant deeds for their own sake, but to do tho enemy much harm with ns llttlo wftiry and as much advan tage as possible to yourself. Jerry's Letter of Advice. A son of Erin appeared at tho money order window of a postofllce, and said that ho wanted to "sind somo money to ould Ireland." "Fill out this blank," said tho clerk, handing tho applicant ono of tho blanks used on such occasions "An' phwat Is that?' neked Jerry. "It's a blank that every applicant for a money order must 1111 out a kind of letter of advlco regarding tho money or der." ' An' phwat has a letthcr of advlco got to do wld mo slndln' tin dollars to me ould mother? ' "A letter of ndvice to tho postmaster where the money Is to bo paid must al ways go with a money order." Jen went away fiom tho window, grumbling and mj stifled. After half an hour of painful effort at a high desk provided for tho public at one end of the room, Jerrj returned to the window and handed In this "letter of advlco" to tho postmaster at Hallycarney: "Dear Moike, Oim tould 01 must glvo ez a bit av advlco before ouil be ablo to pay mo ould mother tho two pounds O'lm slndln' along with this.

A story Is told of two prominent Chi cago lawyers who several ears ago woio regarded as being among tho brightest lawyers tho statu had produced for a long time, says the Philadelphia Bulletin. Thero was great rivalry between theso men, nnd one day they wero having a heated argument on tho steps of tho stato houo at Springfield. "I'll agreo to leavo it to tho first man wo meet," said ono of tho wrangling lawyers, flereely. "All right, and that will settle It once for all ah, hero ho Is, Charley Weil leave It to him." "Charley," as tho man spoken or np proached within hearing distance, "wo want you to decide who is tho best law yer In Illinois. Wo agreo to ubldo by your decision." "Well," replied Charley, himself nn old practitioner, and well known In the cap ital city, "I plead guilty to being tho best lawyer in the stato myrelf." "Why, Charley, how can It be proved?" Inquired tho flist of tho two Chlcagoans. "You don't havo to prove It," replied tho Sprlnglleld man; "I admit It, don't I?' Rough on the Reporter. Tho lato Sir John Macdonald. says tho Argonaut, once gave orders to tho leading Ottawa paper that his speeches wero al ways to bo reported verbatim, as ho prided himself on tho perfection of his exteinroio style. Hut on ono occasion, when ho spoko after dining generously, tho reporter's notes turned out so Inco herent that tho editor took flight and sent tho young man to get Sir John s own revision of his remarks That states man gravely corrected tho reporter's lit eral transcript of whnt ho had said and as gravely bald to him on taking leave "Young man, let mo give you a piece of advice, of which I fear you stund in need.
