SCHANTON, NOVEMBER 14, 1S39. The nrKment by Colonel Hitchcock, In another column, In behalf of tho cruiser Brooklyn does not meet ony of the polntB raised by Secretary Lonjr In hln letter on Admiral Schley. It sim ply emphasizes why. In compliment to what the Brooklyn did In battle, Schley was si'nred tho court martial which his conduct, prior to nnd subsequently, so richly, deserved. As tho fastest ship In the fleet the Brooklyn, In a run ning flRht, ought to give and take thu most blows. Her ability to do this was not facilitated nt Santiago by any thing which Schley did. On tho con trary, had she closed In Instead of running out to sea, as Schley directed, the chunces nro that she would have done even more execution than she did, and done It sooner. Her record of chots landed nnd received does not purge Sehley of disobedience, vacilla tion nnd conduct unbecoming an ofilcer and a gentleman. On Its Last Legs. frrnn CAPTURE of Tarlac. jj Agulnaldo's late3t "capital," , 3 together with the bush-beating operations connected with It, doubtless denotes the end of organized resistance to American into In Luzon. The lordly army of 30,00 smartly of tleoivd men. with which Agulnaldo de manded to bo taken Into partnership with Ocneral Mcrrltt at tho land cap tmc of Manila, nnd on account of which he expected to be set up on a gilt throne and reverenced as a new son of the faithful, having absolute dominion over the lives and property of the Filipinos, has in less than five months of active campaigning by the Ameiican army, which, In the interval, had to be replaced by tho carrying of men backward and forward over 7.C00 miles of Intervening sea, been reduced to the Inglorious proportions of vagrant bands, fleeing in abject terror to avoid capture. Last February the Insolence of Agulnaldo's strutting lieutenants waxed fierce as they mistook for cowar dice the American army's unwilling ness to witness a rupture. Today they are tearing through the canebrakes and stampeding for the mountains in their insane haste to get out of the way of the misjudged "Americanos." The fight for fight's sake has all been taken out of them. Tho poor Idiots who have been fed on ghost stories relative to American cruelty to captives may, when cornered, show the fanaticism of fatalists in their unnecessary fear and thus carry bloodshed further than there. Is any occasion for It, but never again will tho Filipino, insurgent or amlgo, entertain the hallucination that the Yankee soldier Is a soft mark. This necessary foundation step in the re demptory education of the Tagalogq has now been taken, and from this Uivm onward the work will gradually cease to be military in character and will be come civij nnd administrative. For this reason the personal where abouts of Agulnaldo ceases to have its former Importance. Agulnaldo, the dic tator, about to rush upon Otis and drive him Into the sea, was one char acter to the native imagination; Aguln aldo, tho whipped fugitive, chased half way across the island, his baggage, private secretary and personal effects captured and no force of troops left to serve as the nucleus of a new body guard, Is quite another. Agulnaldo in hand would be more of an embarrass ment than a benefit to Otis. I.Ike Lin coln In the matter of keeping Vallan dlgham, Otis might better so order" his arrangements as to let the little mes tizo escape; for, at large, ho would be his own best advertisement of the fu tility of his cause. In arranging next year's estimates enough money should be allowed to tho street clean ng department to equip th; dust sweepers with a sprinkling cart. If the city is too poor to afford this luxury the want should be supplied by public subscription. Mark Hanna. PECULATION ns to whether Senator Hanna's lipnlth will permit him to go through the . ... .. - s wear and tear of another " nls splm oves " i emorace it. prerldentlal cnmpalgn, especially In Ex-Minister Barrett, himself a Demo !ew of the fact that ho has already ' crat' sn'B that ln the near Mum enjoyed all the glory appertaining to ' Eastern Asia, under the American ex the position of national chairman and Pension policy, will supply tho market .can, If he chooser, step down nnd out for aI1 the cotton the south can grow .with an unbroken record of extraor- and all the wheat which the west can tdlnary victories to his credit, turning ovor the party oiganlzntion in un- i .equalled shape to his successor ln th , harness, Is ln progress both in Wash ington and throughout the country. It ! Ms-a literal fact that Senator Hanna I Js'U'slek man, and but for the at .tacks mnrte upon him nnd the chal lenges which ho felt In honor bound to taljn up, he would trdny be In a .health" resort nursing a .most obstinate cas.e of rheumatism, Instead of Just -ro'rnlng out of the thick of the hottest -raVpriaign In American hlrtory. " The retirement ff Senntor Hanna, .should It occur as some of his friends ream to consider probable, would re move from the hurly burly a most in teresting ehnracter. Caricaturists VojUd languish for a subject nnd par Agrnrhcrs would net feel at all llko -themselves. The Hanna of the public, prints, more especially the Hanna iketched by Davenport nnd from thU cue caught up and elaborated by the jimnller satitlsts down tho opposition Jlnesplcted as a porcine monster hi liunfarf gtllsn studded over with dollar 'marks,' baa become a familiar poison 'allty In pictorial politics and Its sub traction would Involve a palpable sac .rlflce This Hanna, to be sure, was ;nothlnsri like the real Hanra; but It "served to symbolize tha prejudices of ho hour, and was enjoyed by non more heartily than by the. much Abused Indivldunl himself. Mark Hanna represents, not perharn the most uNnlted Ideals of American citizenship, but certainly the whole some doctrine of going directly after what you want, and getting It If It U to be got. If we weie living In an Ideal republic there would bo no need of having a Mark Hanna to run our political mnchlno for un. so ns to got enough votes of the right kind out to the polls on election day, cast prop erly nnd counted correctly. In an Ideal world such things wou.d run themselves and all our mundane worries wotfld vanish. But Inasmuch us In the coun try In which wo now live there are somethings not yet fltilto as perfect ns they ought to be, Including the nblo how another widespread labor giving of ballots to men who have no disturbance, harrowing up the passions conceivable notion, whit they mean, of tll0 excitable, might, under dema but whose vote, however Ignorant or i ,rns.i., mnnit.ninti ni tvu-t in th ! ffAl1tl &.

It Is wise to keen In mind that the Just cause Is never advantaged by vio lence. This npplles especially to the cause of labor. The Solid South Quaking. M" ANY OF THE best people of the southern states.men of intelligence, enterprise nnd active capital; the kind of men who take hold when new projects are to be put through; In other words tho aggressive, public spirited class, have for a number of years been growing aweary of tho hare-brained national management of the Democratic party, with Its free trade, free silver, Income tax antics nnd its silly opposition to expansion, nnd but for one thing, which has born held ns n club over their heads, wouri, ere this, have broken over into the Re; publlcnn party, where they naturally belong. The restraining Influence has been their exaggerated fear of negro domination; and tho necessity, under which they have fancied themselves, for keeping the white vote solidly Dem ocratic In order to maintain the whip hand over the black vote, which, none too fortunately, has been, in most southern communities, solidly Republi can. What reason Is there to believe that the readjustments In home politics In evitable In consequence of the recent birth of the expansion Issue which Is now formally adopted as Republican creed, will tend, among other things. In tho direction of calling these vigorous and progressive elements of tho southern white population into the ranks of tho expanded Republican party and thus ! gradually accomplish the extinction of sectionalism In our political life, so far ns permanent party demarcations are concerned? Or, stated In another way, can the younger element which Is In troducing into the southern states tio quickening influences of Industrial de velopments whereby the whole com plexion of that section must soon be transformed, long be contented with tho moss back political ways nnd means which now dominate the "solid" strongholds of tho Democracy; or will Inherited prejudices nnd traditions give way before the compelling demands of business? In the Chicago Times-Herald, our old friend, Walter Wellman, In his charac teristically Informing manner, goes over this fascinating subject at great length, giving not only the ftults of his own extended observations of southern conditions, but also present ing the opinions of others who have given study to the matter; nnd the conclusion which he reaches Is that thi south Is on the eve of n political break up which will end for all time the sec tionalism for which It more than any other region hns for generations been noted. Tho reason which convinces him of this is that the southern cotton manufacturer cannot well look to Re publican administrations to find for him a profitable market for tho sale of his surplus cloth without sooner or later falling Into political sympathy with the expansion policy of those administrations and therefore voting the Republican ticket. When the South gets something more Important to occupy its mind than fixing up schemes whereby to deprive the negro of his ballot, the race question will not keep sensible whites out of the Republican column any more than It will put the negro under any responsl- ,,,,. . . ,. .. .. mm ,0 aoace lno democratic ticket spare from home necessities. If this prediction shall come true the political disintegration of the south will be In evitable. Admiral Dewey should be given u permit to wear false sld-whlskeri when on the streets of New York. A Pertinent Inquiry. c OLD COMFORT is extended to Colonel Bryan by his former eulogist, the New York Wot Id. That Journal of the untcrrlfied now has the frankness to ask: Jf the last elections In tho teveral states had been for president, tho result would have been this: States. Electors. Republican SO 2s3 Democratic 19' li: Republican majority 123 Mr. McKlnley's electoral majority in 1890 wns 9j, so thnt the net Republican ualn In three years has been 2S. In order to enrry the election next year Mr. Uiy un must hold Ml thnt tho Democrats have enrried In tho last elections nnd gain C2 moro electoral votes. Where nro they to come from on the Issues upon which the party has now been beaten three years In succession? The Inquiry Is n pertinent one, even If we accept the World's figures. But In our Judgment the dlfferenco between the voto polled In nn off year and that polled ln a presidential year would have been sufficient, had last Tuesday's election been for president of the t'nlted States, to have glvon Major McKlntey, ns against Colonel Bryan, on present Issues, more than 123 ma jority of the electoral vote. Every state carried by McKlnley In 1891 would have bocu kept by him, nnd In addition ho would have carried Colo rado, tho one vote lost by htm In Cali fornia In 1S3G, Kansas, South Dakota, Washington and Wyoming, with A good chanco of carrying both Montana nnd Idaho; that Is, 2D3 electoral votes certainly and possibly 299, It Is possible that tho events of tlw Intervening year may throw Into Colo- ' net Bryan's pathway accidental nlds to his second candidacy. It Is concolv ejections of 1000 slmllnr to that played j,y the Homestead tragedy In tho com- pngn of 1S02. Or. there might nrl3i nnother Burchard; or any one of a number or contingencies might occur, n manner now unforeseen, thn Met purport of which would be to ndvnnco tho piospocts of the free sllve.vcham pion. These are n part of tho unavoid able risks of politics where voting Is as often guided by passing prejudice or ' whlm ns by Intelligent nnd well-rea soned conviction. But they nfTord an unsubstantial basis for a hopeful cam paign, and well may our Democratic f i lends nsk themselves, In the language of tho World, "Whore are tho votes to come from?" The recent Republican victory in Buffalo had one result upon which the citizens of that thriving community can be congratulated very generally. It opened the way to tho re-election of .Mark S. Hubbell as city clerk. If there were the proper amount of morality In Colonel Bryan's politics, he would not stand sponsor for the dis reputable tactics of Goobollsm, which the best Democrats of Kentucky them selves condemn most severely. ADMIRAL SCHLEY ONCE MORE. Editor of Tho Tribune Sir: Again following In the wake of the Sun uu tako another whack nt Hear Admiral Schley. Would It not be well to gpi-ml some of your surplus energies In p.iuhlng up tho Inconsistencies of your nay bureaucrats? Secretary Long's charges and in.si.iuationa against Schley make a. poor shuwing In view of tho in controveitlble fact that all these things wero known by him before ho recom mended Schley for piomotkn. If they wen ti lie what sort of a disciplinarian was he. that ho did not court martial Schley? Why docs ho not court martial him now? Simply because to do so would be self suultllicatlon. Aie these charges covert- ly published, first In a Qeunan paper In , the west, from which tho New York Sun , translated and gavo it to the public less stultlfjlng? Long says ho is not perse cuting Schley. Lot us see. Here Is an olllcer whose conduct in tho Santiago campaign has been commended first bj his superior officer (who had no lovo for him becauso he had been Jumped over him), and second, by the secretary of the navy who had recommended htm for promotion, and yet, following both of these acts, the latter sends to the senate (was It to prevent his confirmation?; a fairy tale about this officer's disobedience of orders and ofliclal misconduct gencr. ally, which should have subjected him to court martial and degradation if true; and then follows this, later on, with a rehash of tho same thing In what pur ports to bo n private lotter to the presi dent which Is correctly given to tho pub lic through a western German newspaper. If this is not a stubbing In the back a thrust of tho stllletto in the dark, one may wonder what Is. It has nil the ugly look of persecution. o Now a word about the work of the sev eral slips during tho action at Santiago. It Is Insinuated, If not alleged, by the detractors of Schley, thnt he trkd to get out of the light, to run nway; "showed his heels to tho enemy," etc. Now It appears from tho official reports of the navy department that seven-tenths ot all tho shots that hit tho Spanish fchlps vvcro fired from the Brooklyn nnd Iowa. There were six American ships In tho flfiht, viz.. the Brooklyn, Oregon, Iowa, Indiana, TeNa3 and Gloucester. The leport of Captain Crowninfchlcld, of the navy department, showing dlngrnms of tho hulls of the enemy's vessels with every hit marked, and a table showing tho hits of each of our ships, Is pub lished In tho New York Times of April , 2t, lSOn. Of these hits, tho calibres Bhow that more than five of the seven-tenths wore fired from tho guns of the Brooklyn. This gives one-half of all tho hits of tho shots of calibre of 4-Inch and upwards 1(1 llll 1IUIJI.. II. JIIUI-VM. II illlJIt'tllM limi iit'i u-iiiuu uuni'i uiu li iur nit uiuai effective work of nil.

Of this number tho Brooklyn must be credited with twenty, which Is tho num ber of five-Inch calibre, as she was the only ship armed with a five-Inch battery. Thero vvcro eight four-Inch hits, and these must be credited to tho Iowa for tho same reason. Thero were ten hits by elsht-lnch guns. The Brooklyn, Iowa, Indiana nnd Oregon were nil nrmed with eight-Inch cuns. It Is fair to assume that the Brooklyn made at least her share of tho elfht-luch hits, viz., one fourth, as each of tho four fchlps named had exactly tho same number of eight Inch gurs. o-- Thls fully Justifies tho claim made for the Brooklyn that she fired moro than one-half of all tho t hots of heavy calibre that took effect upon tho Spanish ships. Tho Brooklyn, Iowa and Texas wero armed with 12-lnch, guns and there were two hits from 12-Inch guns. If the Ore gon and tho Indiana bo credited with one. fourth of tho S-lnch hits, which Is ull thnt can possibly bo given them, they have a showing of two nnd a half hltB each. Whilst If the Texas be given ono of tho 12-Inch hits nnd tho Iowa ono, and n fair presumption based upon the prac tlco of her other batteries, would give one nt least to the Brooklyn in prefer ence to either wo havo tho following showing for the Iowa nnd Brooklyn, vlz.t lown, 11'! hits; Brooklyn, 22',4 hits out of the forty. All of which shows that If Brooklyn did "run nway," "show her heels to the enemy." etc.. sho took all tho damage the enemy Inflicted nnd gave back moro thnn nil tho other ships of the fleet comnlned, and this under tho per sonal command of this teprehenflbln, dls obedient nnd Incompetent Wlnfield Scott Schley. Fortunately thoso facts will malio history, not tho puerllo dtuft the Sun is exploiting. Respectfully, -F. L. Hitchcock. Scranton, Nov. 13. SURCHARGING OF THE COMMISSIONERS THEIR ATTORNEY HAS FILED SPECIFICATIONS OF ERROR. They Set Forth In Detail That tho Surcharges Are Unjust nnd Unwar ranted nnd That tho County Com missioners Faithfully Compiled with All of Their Duties to the Taxpayers Court Mndo nn Order Yesterday Directing That tho Caso Be Tried In January. In the matter of tho surcharging of tho county commissioners with money ' expended In the rebuilding of the court directing that an Issue be inudo ' with the county of Lackawanna n plaintiff nnd county commissioners Olles Roberts, S. V. Roberts nnd John Demuth ns defendants. , The report of the county nudltors Is to Btand for the plalrftlff's statement nnd the defendants are directed to plead the general issue and file speci fications of error particularly within thirty days. It Is also ordered that tho tho case be placed nt tho hend of the first week's list of the January term, 1900. ! Ex-Judge Knapp, for County Com missioners Giles Roberts, S. AV. Rob erts nnd John Dcmutjt yesterday filed the specifications of error to th nud ltors' report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1897, In which the commissioners were surcharged with over $16,000. Each of the Individual surchatges to the numb?r of 133 are taken ex ception to Individually and nn explan ation ns to how- nnd why the sum sur charged was expended Is appended In each case. In n large number of cases where surcharges were made the explanation Is made that the same was a necessiry nnd proper expenditure In the repairs of the county court house. The ex ceptions taken to a number of tho larger surcharges nre given below. ABOUT GAS FITTiNG Regaidlng tho surcharge of JS3S.37 made for gas fittings furnished by Hunt & C'onnell, the explanation Is of fered that this did not appear In the speclPcatlons because the latter wens for plumbing only. The surcharge of $r7l.0o made by the auditors na "difference In costs of twenty-six closets as per specifications nnd of closets actually furnished at J22.0S each," Is taken CNC-eption to. The commissioners say that the closets put In the building were superior and high er priced than the closets specified and that the change was made necauso the closets were better and because they could be obtained In less tlm than the others. Tho extra expenditure of $420 mada on account of changes In the specifical tions for the ceilings of several of the r0oms and surcharged bv the auditors Is explained by stating that theas i changes were made becauso thought necessary by the commissioners and j the architect. I The expenditure of $2.2'i0, which was I surcharged for "tuck pointing of build ing ns per proposil of E. S. Williams. $2,250." Is oxplalned at some length. The comnilslsoners say that while the specifications called for tuck pointing the entire building, that It was deemed unnecessary to do this work on all the building and only on certain points. BIDDERS INSTRUCTED. They state that all bidders were In structed to this effect before bidding was done and that all bids were made on this basis. Tho commissioners stat-3 that the contractor did all the luck pointing which under his contract he could be called upon to do and that the surcharge Is accordingly Improper. In regnrd to the expenditure of $1, 000 surcharged for supei Intending the erection of tho steel roof the commls. sioneis say that It was peifectly prop er and was made to procure efficient and scientific inspection of tho roof. The auditors surcharged the com missioners $7,332.1S on the following account: Bill of James T. Ilnll & Co $11,833 IS Expert Jones' rMli.i. tod cost .... 4.C00 00 Surcharge $ 7,3.33 IS The commirsloners say that the en tire cum of $11,333.18 was paid to James T. Hall & Co., for fitting up the superior court room, halls and other parts of tho building, tint tho work was faithfully done nnd tho price reasonable and that therefore ths surcharge Is improper and Illegal. Tho auditors surchaiped the commls- sloners with $S30 on tho following bill: ...... m Hall & Co $1,250 00 Expert Jones' estimated cost 3,100 M Surcharge $ 650 00 Tho commissioners say that tho con tract for this work was; let to this firm because their bid was tho lowest sent ln; that the work wns propetly done and that the entire sum of $1,230 was paid out accordingly. IRON ROOF BEAMS. The surcharge of $320 made for put ting ln Iron roof beams is declared Im proper becauso the commissioners say thnt the same was not Included ln tits now contract with the Berlin Iron Bridge company and was accordingly a proper expenditure. A surcharge of $171 mad"' for closets not put in and of iVC for putting them In nro declared Improper. Regarding) this the commissioners say that the closets were returned to the contrnct ors nnd credit allowed and that credit wns also allowed for the work of put ting them ln.
