SCrtANTON, NOVEMBER 20, 1899.
The fact that tho Wnnnmakerltca
refuse to tnlk of the reported nntl
Ouny movpmpnt thnt was born In
Philadelphia the other nljrht, may bo
tnkon as evidence that tlm new re
form Infant Is not In n very jiromlslnu
comllllnn of health. It would he Im
possible for tho Wannnmker wing of
discontent to act without talk.
A Loiir Felt Want.
GOLDEN RULE JONES has Is
sued a proclamation embody
ing his deductions from the
vote received by him In tho
recent Ohio election. Encouraged by the
iiipport which he received. he Intends to
push nlonjr the non-partisan movement,
substituting for Republicanism and
nomocracy ns soon as possible an Ism
f his ii n, namely. Jnneslsm.
'Parties and their legitimate pro
ducts, bosses, have served their day,"
stys the Toledo loformer, "and the
tioonle are now In the process of tnklng
nnother step forward to a better politi
cal system. It does not require the eye
of n prophet or seer to fancy that our
legislature next winter may enact the
municipal code commission bill Into
lnw, and we thnll at once have a better
and a sclontlllc ystem of non-partisan
politics In c-vory municipality In Ohio.
At one stroke this "will destroy every
political machine In our cities, nnd with
machines In our cities destroyed, tho
machine In county anil state will soon
bo at an end. Then the people will be
freed from the traditions of the past,
from bigotry and superstition, and will
no longer vote according to tho direc
tion of men who say, 'Put your mark
finder the eagle, and let 'er go nt that.'
Our electorate will become enlightened
nnd free, and we shall have taken a
large sten towards a free government,
the only purpose of which should be to
make it easier for every man and wo
man In It to live full, free, noble and
beautiful lives, rather than having It
ndmlnlstered for tho sole purpose of
securing to a few special privileges
that nre always purchase! at the ex
pense of the many."
Just what the "municipal code com
mission bill" is which will nt one stroke
revolutionize municipal politics we are
sorry to say that we do not know. It
must, however; bo a wonder. The stat
ute which can at one stroke convert
the superabundant Ignoramuses, whoso
voting power complicates the problem
of government in all pur large cities,
.nto "enllghtered freemen," living "full,
free, noble and beautirul lives" wit!
certainly till a long-felt want, and It Is
to be'hoped that Jones will hasten the
hour of Us general Introduction.
Recent news from the Philippines Is
enough to thiow the nntl-cxpanslon
elements Into continuous slnklns
polls.
"Two Billion a Year.
PHENOMENAL, increases in our
foreign trade have become
so common of late as no
longer to excite surprise;
yet the facts presented In a recent
bulletin of the bureau of statistics de
serve attentive study since they Indi
cate that the present year Is to be u
record breaker by carrying our for
eign commerce beyond the $2,000,000,000
mark.
From Jan. 1 to Nov. 1 our exports
have been $1.029,Jt2,000, against J9$.
879,000 for tho corresponding ten
months last year. This remarkable
Increase, the bulletin points ou Is tho
more surptlslng because of the absence
of the excessive demand abroad for
our bre.tdstuffs which characterized
the year lOS. In that year the short
crops nbroad and plentiful supplies of
bieadstuffs of all kinds In the United
States resulted In an abnormally largo
exportation of breadstuffs, so that the
exportation of agricultural products In
the present year naturally falls about
$:!j,000,000 .below that of the corres
ponding period of last year. Yet the
total exportatlons for the "ten months
are, ns already Indicated, more than
f 10.000,000 In excess of those of last
year. An examination of the detailed
flguies of the nine months of the year
already accessible shows that the ex
ports or manufactures In that period
were JJO.OOO.OOO In excess of those of
the corresponding months of the pre
ceding year, and $65,000,000 greater
than those of the same months of 1897,
. while the products of the mine wens
$4,000,000 greater than those of the cor-
- responding months of last year, and
- tho'su of the forest $6,000,000 In excess
at jthe corresponding months of the
t preceding year. Thus the year's ex-
portatlon of agricultural productions
will be quite up to the normal, while
th'oso of manufacture, mining nnd for
, qstry will exceed those of last year and,
, Indeed, of any year In our history.
, Tho total Importation In the ten
; months ending with October, 1899, s
$6S,875,000, against $.r27,734,000 in the
, corresponding months of last year.
, This .large increase In Importations Is
j chiefly In supplies for tho manufac
k turers, whose Increased exports are al
.. icady noted, and in foodstuffs, which
cannot be produced at home. Tho In
- crease In Importations of material for
use of 'manufacturers, Including crude
, and partially manufactured, was In
. the nine months ending with Septem-
ber $50,000,000, a sum Just equaling the
Increase In exportatlons of manufac
tures during that time. In foodstuffs
tho increase In Importations during
the nine months wns In round terms
$'3,Oo5,uvv, of which nearly $30,000,009
was. In sugar, the Increase In Impor
' tatfons of manufactures ready for con
sumption being $8,000,000, and articles
of voluntary use, luxuries, etc., $15,
900,000, Jhithe last decade there have been
7" v .vearw In "-hinh our Imports have
exceeded those of 1899, taking account
of tho first ten months only, 'fheio
were in 1890, '91, '92, '93 and '95. liut in
three of those five years, namely, '91,
'92 and '93, our exports exceeded our
Imports. Today tho exports exceed tho
Imports by tnoro than GO per cent., and
tho gain In Imports does not, as In
former times, mean an Increase In de
pendence upon foreign supplies but a
utilization of foreign raw mateilals In
our manufactures for profitable export.
We buy certain tough yoods abroad,
make up what wo buy Into finished
products and then sell those products
to foreigners, keeping the profits at
home, The dream of tho fathers Is
being realized. America Is becoming
the workshop jf the world.
The reports published yesterday to
the effect that two crises of what Is
pretty thoroughly established to he
bubonlu plague have arrived In New
York port, nre not particularly cheer
ing. It Is believed, however, that tho
same sanitary precaution that has In
the past rendered nearly all of tho
Asiatic scourges powerless on this side
of tho Atlantic will rob this last im
portation of Its terrors.
The Hanna-Payne Shipping Bill.
WITH
Indii
gonl
ADMINISTRATION
orsement nnd the ur
gent support of com
mercial organizations
generally the Hnnna-Paynt- shipping
subsidy bill, which failed to got
through the last congress will be In
troduced In the next anil there Is rea
son to believe that it will soon after
ward become a law. The purpose of
It, briefly stated, Is to offer not over
$9,000,000 a year to ship-owners In tho
hope of securing nn American mer
chant marine capable of earning a
largo part of the $200,000,000 now paid
by American exporters to foreign ship
owner for ocean freights. The boun
ty Is necessary In order to enable
American vessel masters to pay the
higher wages and the higher prices
prevalent among American sailors
and shlp-bullders and yet compete
with tho carrying vessels of foreign
lines. -
The bill provides for btlnging under
the American (lag and the protection
of oJr laws the foreign-built ships
now actually owned and contracted
for by American citizen, and In
which and In their trade American
capital has been nnd Is actually In
vested. The American registry of
these forclgn-built ships Is conditioned i
upon their owners building here and
putting into our own trade at the ear
liest practlcabls time new vessels of a
tonnage fairly proportionate to that
of the admitted ships. None of these
forelgn-bullt ships, or tho new ships
Roon to bo built here, are permitted to
engage In trade with such ports be
longing to the United States as ships
under foreign Hags are permitted to
trade with. All the owners of Ameri
can trading ships now existing, before
they can get the benefits of the act,
must undertake the construction of
new tonnage falily proportioned to
that of the ships claiming the benefit
of the act. All these ships are re
quired to carry the mall of the United
States free of charge. All the new
ships must bo so built so as to be
readily converted into cruisers or other
auxiliary aids to tho military power
of the United States whenever needed
for such purposes. All those ships are
bound (In addition to the training of
their crews) to constantly educate and
train American boys for the various
necessities of naval operations.
The subsidy provided for In the bill
Is alloted as follows: (a) On each en
try of a sail or steam vessel not ex
ceeding sixteen entries In any twelve
consecutive months, one and one-halt
cents per gross ton for each 100 nauti
cal miles not exceeding 1,500 nautical
miles sailed outward bound nnd one
and one-half cents per gross ton for
each one hundred nautical miles not
exceeding 1,500 nautical miles sailed
homeward bound, and one cent per
gross ton for each nddltlonal 100 nau
tical miles sailed, (b) Steam vessels
which may bo suitable for carrying
the malls of tho United States or as
auxiliaries to the forces of tho United
States In time ru war or other need,
If of the following tonnages and cap
nble of maintaining the following rates
of speed under the conditions herein
after provided, shall. In addition to
the compensation provided In para
graph (a) of this section, receive com
pensation per gross ton, for each 100
nautical miles sailed, at the following
rates, viz.: Vessels over 1,500 gross
tons: Fourteen knots and less than
fifteen knots, one cent per gros ton.
Fifteen knots and less than sixteen
knots, one nnd one-tenth cent per gross
ton. Sixteen knots or over, one and
two-tenth cents per gross ton. Ves
sels over 3,000 gross tons: Seventeen
knots and less than eighteen knots,
one nnd four-tenth cents per gross ton.
Eighteen knots nnd less than nineteen
knots, one and six-tenth cents per
gross ton. Nineteen knots or over,
one and elgth-tenths cents per gross
ton. Vessels over 8,000 gross tons:
Twenty knots and less than twenty
one knots, two cents per gross ton.
Twenty-one knots or over, two and
three tenth cents per gross ton. No
vessel shall be entitled to compensa
tion under any more than ono of the
tonnage and speed classifications In
this clause specified."
The question raised In this bill Is
the most Important practical question
now before tho people. Our foreign
trade has made us a world power of
the first class; destiny has forced ter
ritorial expansion upon us; there Is
no drawing back from a larger and
larger participation In tho commer
cial nctlvitles of civilization. But shall
we, as Americans, remain content to
do our traveling and our shipping of
ocean freight In foreign vessels? Aro
the other nations to monopolize the
profit growing out of Jhe transporta
tion of our Increasing foreign trade
They have practically a monopoly
now, because they have encourage i
their ship-owners whllo we have dis
couraged ours. Let us reverse this
policy which has produced only disas
ter to our shipping and show to our
trade rivals that we can match them
at sailing as well as In manufacturing,

The New Naval Programme.
-p -Klin DECISION of the naval
r
construction board to rec
ommend to congress the
building of threo armored
cruisers of 13,500 tons 'displacement,
threo protected cruisers of 8,000 toni,
six light-draft gunboats of 1,000 tons
nnd six gunboats of 800 tons each ap
peals Immediately to public approval.
Including the boats now building, the
United States has for tho present
enough battleships. Warships of tit1?
Indiana type, good only for about 12
knots on the average, aro useful In
action when once nn enemy's fleet Is
cornered; but with outlying territories
extending Into both hemispheres nnd
vast Boa spaces to traverse the neces
sity for speed becomes far superior to
the need of heavy nrmo; sheathing,
Tho recent war exploded effectually the
opinion once dominant In congressional
circles that our requirement In war
craft was limited to' purposes of sea
board defense. Tho old notion that wo
must await the enemy's npproach and
give him battle under tho shelter of
land fortifications has been nbandoned.
Americans realize now thatthey must
have a navy sufficiently large and
swift to administer, In case of war, tho
first vigorous blows and defend by Im
mediately tnklng the aggressive. Tho
Santiago fight taught that thlrtecn
lnch armor plate Is more of a nuisance
than a benefit; thnt speed and good
gun Are nre far safer. Hence the fast
cruiser Is properly emphasized In the
recommendations for future construc
tion; nnd Instead of three more Brook
Iyns we ought really to have a dozen.
The gunboat typo of ship Is for police
service In shallow waters.and In recom
mending the building of twelve new
ships of this type the board evidently
adopted without modification the ex
pert advice of Admiral Dewey. Ves
sels of this kind are an absolute neces
sity of our new responsibilities i the
West and East Indies.
The Herliner Kllnlsche Wochensch
rift calls attention to an evil that
threatens to setiously Impair the at
tractions of the devotees nt the feet
of the goddess of fashion, In pointing
out the fact that an abnormal redness
of the nose is one of tho sure conse
quences of 'wearing a veil In winter.
This writer states that the effects upon
the face of tho fair wearer are pro
nounced at those points where the veil
Is most Intimately applied to the skin.
This Is due to the mechanical action
of the sharp and rough texture upon
a sensltlx'e cuticle nnd to tho In
fluence of tho watery vapor which col
lects within Its meshes and prevents
evaporation. As the application of the
veil has similar effects upon the cheek1)
many will probably still cling to the
mask of netting In order that the
bloom of youth may be counterfeited
upon other portions of the face. At
present the question Is one full of per
plexities and It Is Impossible to arrlvo
at any solution other than through the
designing of a veil having an aperture
of sufficient dimension? to allow the
end of the nose to protrude.

By the time they havo settled the ex

Two Twenty Minute Halves at tho
Park Saturday Afternoon but Woro
Not Ablo to Got tho Ball Near tho
Goal Lino-Way tho Teams Lined
Up Men Who Won Prizes for Par
tlcularly Brilliant Playt Notes of
tho Gamo.
A large number of spectators attend
ed at Athletic Paik Saturday nfterncoit
to sec the Wllllamsport Hljth School
eleven battle with tho local High
School team for the stute champion
ship. The result of the game was a big j
dlsappolntmnet to the local boys, as
tho score nt the end stood, Wllllnm3
port 0, Scranton 0. Two twenty-minute
halves were played.
The game was played under the most
favorable circumstances. In every wa.
The weather was splendid, the flcM
wns In good condition, nlthnugh a
trifle soft, the officials were Impartial
and falrmlnded men with an expert
knowledge of the game nnd both teams
were In the pink of condition.
The Wllllamsport boyr presented a
very uniform appearance, being very
evenly matched as to bIzo nnd weight.
There were no very large men on tho
team, and no very small ones. Not a
Wllllamsport player was as heavy or
big as either Ilnran or Malla, Fcran
.ton's strapping guards. What they
lacked In weight, however, they mado
up for In skill and science.
SCRANTON WON GOAL.
At 3 o'clock the two captains tossed
for goal, and Captain DeHow winning
h took the south goal. Lundy kicked
oft for Wllllamspert nnd tho pigskin
fell In the arms of DeRnw. Before he
could make any material gain, how
ever, the fleet-footed Wllllamsport
ends wera on him and dropped him In
hi tracks. Scranton now started off
most auspiciously. DeUow nnd Hornn
smashed through the lino for a net:
gain of fifteen yards, and then Brown's
slgnil was given for an end play.
Tropp passed the ball hurriedly to
the cx-Lncknwnna player, and tuck
ing It tinder his arm, he dashed around
left end. and did not stop until he had
traversed some twer.ty-flvo yards.
Wllllamsport now took a brace and
held High School for four clowns. Vnl
then smashed Into the fcranton boy'3
line for good gains and was followed
ly Wheland, who made a beautiful
twenty-five yard run.
High School then regained the ball
on a fumble, but gave It back to Wlll
lamsport In a short time ns the penalty
for holding In the line.
The half wos soon brought to a clos,
time being called. Seme, Scranton 0,
Wllllamsport 0.
Tropp knocked off and then Wlll
lamsport "steadily workeJ the ball up
the field. Time after time Fullback
Vail would dive through the line for
long gains, and nt last Hiilfbick Whe
land ped down the field with It, for
what looked like a touchdown. Tropp,
however, made a headlong dive for
him and brought lilm down by a pretty
tackle. Wllllamsport continued down
the field and at last had the ball on
Scranton's five-yard line. Here the
local boys pulled thonriselves together
and held their opponents for four
downs. Vail and Wheland In vain
tried to buck the line.
MADE A DESPF.UATE EFFORT.
It was like hitting against a stone
wall. High School now made a des
perate effort to v.in, nr.d DeDow and
Tlrown darted around the ends for fine
runR. McFugh. the left end. was also
given the ball and mado a splendid
dash with It. Chances seemed brisk
for a Scranton touchdown, when sud
denly Umpire Thome dashed Into the
line and ordered the ball to be given
to WHUar-isport. In the heat of tho
game Quarterback Tropp. forgetting
himself, had held an opprslng player.
and this piece of font work was de
servedly punished by the umpire. Vail
promptly punted the ball out of dan
cer, nnd from there on It wns any
body's game, the ball wavering be
tween both sides. Tho game endeJ
with the score still a tie.
For High School excellent work was
done bv Drown. DeTlow, Horan and
McIIuch, while for Wllllamsport.Whe
land, Hops and Vail did the best play
ing. Vail In particular did splendid
service, his kicking being the best seen
at Athletic Park this s-asin. "Arch"

Victory for Princeton.
frlnceton, N. J., Nov. 19. Princeton
defeated Washington and Jefferson uni
versity by a score of C-0 yesterday af
ternoon. The Princeton boys went Into
the game expecting to run away with
their opponents but found that they
had to play their hardest to even score.
The hero of the day was Hutchinson,
Princeton's doughty little quarterback,
who mado several beautiful runs, nnd
In nddltlon tackled like a fiend. Prince
ton's line wafc Invulnernble, holding to
gether In wonderful fashion, but the
aggressive work must bo greatly Im
proved to defeat Yale this week.
Princeton scored her touchdown In
tho second half, by carrying the ball
down the field on a long run by Hutch
inson, and by clever llne-bucklng. Mc
Card took tho ball over the line, and

Columbia 22 -Dartmouth 0.
New York, Nov. 10. Columbia played
strong, hard foot ball yesterday and
administered n crushing defeat to Dart-
mouth, the result of the came being
22-0.
The score would have been much
larger had It not been for the magnifi
cent punting of Dartmouth's fullback,
Proctor, and the clever playing of
Rogers and O'Connor. Weeks, who
played such a star gamo for Columbia
against Yale, was again the hero of
the day, making two touchdowns, one
of them from a 90-yard run. Morley
and Bruce also played strong games

The ticket agent at one of the Connecticut stations
of the New York and New England railroad states: "I
suffered for years with my stomach. At times I've been
so bad that I couldn't walk a block after eating my dinner
without spitting out particles of food, and I've been
troubled a great deal with rheumatic gout. Parts of my
feet would be so sore that .1 slight pressure would make
me wince with pain. At the suggestion of a friend I
commenced taking a" RIPANS TABULE after each
meal, and in two weeks they did wonders for me posi
tively wonders. My food stays down now, and the pain
n my feet has gone away. In me the Tabulcs are sure
of one friend for life."
