TWELVE PAGEST SCUANTON, NOVEMUnn 25, 1899. Honest politics fa Very much needed In every Btute; and Colonel Wntres can do u public service In explaining how purification of the politics of IVnmiyl vanlit Is to be effected thfsucli the ac tivities of men like David Mnrtln, Kd Van Valkenberj,', "William Kllnn and John Wannniuker. That New Railroad, PUBLICATIONS ronti oiled by the present coal carrying nillroads are dolus their ut most to make llRht of the proposed Independent line to tidewater, just ns they did of the prior indepen dent railroad project which miscar l led because of the bad faith of one of the orlirlnators. Meanwhile, their agents are at work thinking out schemes to In ternipt the completion of the new road ov to complicate the problem of Its Kiircestful construction. Tho uncon ern which they manifest in the news papers does not dove-tail with tho vay they talk and net among them- Pi'lWH. And yet this new railway project Is pimply n fair business, proposition. If the railroads at piesent engaged in hauling coal charge only a reasonable pilce, then It should be to their Inter est to let their critical patrons them selves have a taste of the business of coal-hauling, so that they may after ward better understand the problem of railway freights. If It is worth a cent a mile to haul a ton of hard coal from Seranton to tidewater while for simi lar distances other roads haul soft coal, and apparently make money, at as a low a rate as two mills per ton a mile: and If a 10 mill rate Is necessary on the down grade haul to tidewater while a four mill late Is all that Is charged on the up-grade haul to Chi cago, then the sooner the klcKing oper ators find this out for themselves, the sooner they will desist from their mur murs and be reasonable. But, on the other hand, If there Is nothing but in justice in these gross discriminations: if the anthracite Industry Is being held up bandit fashion by the railroads and made to pay for the mistakes, the bad speculations and the steals of the man agements of the coal carrying rail roads; If In spit It and In letter the ex isting exactions practiced upon indi vidual coal operators not "In cahoots" with some railroad dynasty are Iden tical with the operations of the pick pocket or the burglaf, then the right ing of these wrongs by the only practi cable remedy in hlght, the construction of a competitive railway owned by the operators themselves, becomes a duty not only of self protection, but of fair play for the public In general. The operators certainly have as good l right to go Into the railway business as the railways have to go into the operating business. Without pretending to possess any secret information and with due re spect for the uncertainties of life, wo think we can safely promise Mr. Thomas, of the Urlo railway system, Mr. Fowler of the Ontaiio and West ern railway system and all others in terested that the Delaware Valley and Kingston railway will be built as planned and opened for traffic at the expected time, ashes, cinders and law suits to the contrary notwithstanding-. The apparent plurality for Taylor, Republican candidate for governor of Kentucky, on the face of the olflclal te turns, Is 2,.'p03. There are few Ken tuckians who doubt, however, that his veal plurality was nearer 2.",000. "Property Poor." THE REPORTED troubles of the Russian minister of fin ance. M. de Wltte. Include alleged embezzlement, spec ulation, dismissal fiom olllce und at tempted suicide. No doubt the stories about him now appearing In tip papers are greatly exaggerated, per haps entirely false. At this distance it is impossible to separate fact from no tion Rut there ore certain known facta which lend color to the belief that M. de Wltte Is at least In disfavor at St. Petersburg. In view of the extraor dlnary financial necessities of tho Rus sian empire, growing out of its gigantic railway, canal and other projects of internal Improvement, which have beep. Increased by a widespread famine that has lowered revenues and put a new tension on the charities of the empire, this, minister recently sought to place an emergency loan among the financial magnates of London and Paris. In both cities he was In his main purposes unsuccessful and It Is understood that lieutenants whom he sent over to sound the financial Interests In New York re ported adversely on the proposition of attempting to float a Russian loan In the United States. It has recently been asserted that one large Insurance com pany In New York has concluded an arrangement to buy 20.001.000 roubles' worth of guaranteed 4 per cent. Rus sian railway bonds, but this has not been confirmed. In any event, the Russian minister of finance had to go back to his imperial master with the Information that Russian t,ecuritles were not in demand just now; and it Is not difficult to guess the rccoutlon which such an announcement would bo likely to provide. The situation of the czar seems to be that of a man who Is "property poor." He has at his back the greatest real cstntq Plant In the business nnd Its economic possibilities am simply be wildering, lint to develop these pos sibilities takes great sums of ready money and with Russia pictured bo fore tho world ns n great monster just waiting for a chance to grab some new prey and plunge the whole of Europe Into a frightful war, the men who have the money nre not anxious to hazard It In Russian investments. It is pos sible that a part of European diplo macy's mKilon these days Is to keen the czar from getting hold of too much ready change at one time. One service of Vice President Hobart is recalled which is Justly entitled to bemmn historic. Tho Macon resolu tion affirming it to bo tho Intention of the United States to estnbllsh in the Philippine Islands a stable gov ernment, recognize Its Independence und then withdraw commanded in tho last senate a lie vote, nnd the vlca president, "amid breathless silence," wo are told, "enst the deciding vote In the negative." Had ho decided other wise, who can estimate, the needles bother be would have created and transmitted to posterity? Not n Vote Against Expansion. N A UKCENT address in New York, ex-Sneaker Heed teferred Incidentally to the late election In Ohio and, without expressing his Ideas fully, gave hH bearers to In trv that he considered the vote for Junes an Indication that a majority of the votcis of Ohio have not yet made up their iplnds to approve the expan sion policy of the McKlnley adminls tuition. The reference was guarded but the Intent was plain. The man who edited Candldat" Jones' campaign organ and practically managed his campaign, Mr. V. Cf. (Jhent, of Toledo, does not subscribe to Mr. Heed's Interpretation of the vote. "I emphatically protest." says he, "both In my own behalf and that of tho thousands of expansionists who sun ported Mayor Jones against the assertion tint the nonpartisan vote had the meaning of casting reflection on the expansion policy of the administration. Our cnmpalgn was waged on the Issue of popular rule versus boss rule In Ohio. Had It In cluded the Issue of the war in Luzon, taking an unfavorable attitude there on, I would have taken no part In It, and (here nre thousands of others of like mind. Some of our ppeakers, not ably Geoigo D. Hen on and Attorney Charles S. Darmw, violated the spirit of the canvass and indulged In wild declamation against the administra tion. Where this was done we lost votes. These fuels point out that Ohio Is absolutely safe on the proposition that the war In the Philippines Is an unavoidable war, from which there Is no escape in honor. Justice and national dignity, nnd that Its prosecution Is for the best Interests of real liberty and humanity. In next year's campaign the Issue will be plain and distinct on the upholding of the honor and civiliz ing mission of this nation. There Is no question as to the response of the people." The view of Mr. Ghent accords with the known facts better than the view of Mr. Heed. It Is, we believe, tho cor rect view. General Wood is to come to Wash ington to talk "business" with the sec retarv of war. Let us hope that the "business" will Include Wood's trans fer to the governor-generalship at Ha vana. Grant and Miles. UPON the occasion of the dedi cation recently of the monu ments and markers at Chat tanooga, commemorative of positions held by Illinois troops during the battle at that place, an address was delivered by General Roynton, In which he launched the' following re ference to Major General Miles: "Did General Grant spend hu timo about the commissary stores in the capacity of a poor food commis sioner? Did he send his staff officers throughout tho limits of his command to gather evidence to prove that the war department did not know mora than a thine or two about war? Did ho All the press of the land with In tel vlewn criticising everything and everybody but himself? When he tele graphed General Thoma3 from Louis ville to hold Chattanooga, did Thomas reply, 'We are out of the proper brand of meat, and It can't be dene,' or did he reply, 'We will hold the town till we starve'? Did Goneril Thomas ar.d Ms general officers send a round robin to Washington concerning the condition of their stomachs, their temperature and their pulse, and promptly furnish a copy of It to the presb? And what of the soldiers who served under Gen eral Thomas? They went about the stieets of Chattanooga and the horsa and mule corrals, picking up kernels of scattered corn, They gathered about the lefuso heaps of tho commissary stores where moldy bread was thrown, whittled olt the mold and filled their haversacks with tho crumbs; and when interrupted by the play of the slego guns, they would look up at the smok ing summit of Lookout nnd exclaim, 'If these rations hold, Mr. Johnny Reb., we'll get you yet.' " This Is undoubtedly true, but it does not supply any reason for objecting to tho Interest shown by the present commanding general In tho welv'aro of his troops. If Grant, when in com mand of the army, had boon treated by the war department as Miles was treated during the Algr regime, some thing would have dropped In the vicin ity of Washington, and It would not havo been as long In dropping as Alger wo.t. One gold mine in the Cripplo Creek. Colorado, district, has been sold for $15,000,000, or tho exact sum paid by Jeffeison for the entire Louisiana pur chase. Tho Denver News estimates the present value of the Louisiana purchase at $15,000,000,000: and there is little reason to douot that tho Philip pine purchase will surply an example of history repeating Itself. Governor Roosevelt will soon havo to name n. successor to Insurance Super intendent Payn, whose appointment by Governor Illack threw New York state Into an uproar. Payn's political past seems to have been censurable. It is nlleged that he used to bo tho boss lobbyist at Albany and piled corrupt Influences upon legislators. Hut on the other hand, It Is conceded even by his worst enemlos that his conduct of the insurance office has been not only clean but able. Exports pronounce him the best Insurance superintendent of this generation. On thin representation of facts, what ought Roosevelt to do, fire Payn or re-appoint him? The clflzens of Cortland. N. Y., have petitioned to the town trustees asking for tho enactment of a curfew law. The citizens of Cortland would show them selves more worthy to bo classed as order loving people it they would first provide themselves with a good stock of birch switches. . It Is reported that Agulnaldo offers the United States government $20,000, 000 for peace. Aggie ought to know that ho can secure peace in a much less expensive manner than that and also receive thirty dollars for his rifle. John It, McLean says political ene mlea of Dewey started that home transfer row. Dewey should muzzle his brother-in-law. Admiral Dewey now seems to be In danger from the papers that frantically defend htm. Agulnaldo's government hns dwindled down to his gold collar and whistle. HUMAN NATURE STUDIES. A Paternal Inquiry. In Llpplncott's there Is a story of a son's Interview with his father which Is quaintly touching. One warm mid summer day Steve, the son, found himself seated under the old Raldwln apple tree, with the half hull of a red hearted watermelon In his lap. Old Mr. 13., tho father, busy with the other half, paused now and then to ask Steve about his now Job, how many cigars ho smoked a day, what they cost, and what ho paid for his flno clothes. Pres ently he wanted to know what they called his boy on tho road conductor, brakeman, or what? "They call me the general freight agent, father," said Steve. "That's a mighty big name, Steve." "Yes, fatlfer: it's rather a big Job, too, for me." "But ye don't do it all. Steve. Ye must have hands to help you load and unload?" "Oh, yes, I have a lot of help." "And the company pays 'em all?" "Yes." "How much do they pay you, Steve J2 a day?" Steve almost strangled on a piece of core, nnd the old gentleman saw that he had guessed too low. "Three," ho ventured. "More than that, father." "Ye don't mean to say they pay ye as much as fl-v-e?" "Yes, father: more than twenty-five." The old man let tho empty hull fall between his knees, stared at his boy, and whistled. "Say, Steve," he asked earnestly, "ar' ye worth It?" Lost It at Gettysburg. There Is a very handsome young wo man in Washington, rather well known In art circles, who had the misfortune to fall down stairs a few yeais ago, so badly fracturing one of her knees that the limb had to bo amputated, re lates the Washington Post. The young woman, of course, walks with the aid of crutches. She is not the least sensitive about the matter, and she doesn't mind Informing properly Introduced people of the nature of the accident, which maimed her. She has set a little limit, however, nnd she wai compelled to use it one afternoon last week. She got Into an F street car, bound for the Hill, and found herself In the same seat with a sham-ovri wn. man who seemed to take a whole lot of Interest In her nnd her crutches. She scrutinized the young woman's face j carefully for a couple of minutes, then I turned her attention to the workrann- 1 ship of the crutches, which she took the liberty to handle curiously Then she I looked the young woman over again, i and leaned over to her. i "D'ye mind tellln' me how you lost your leg-. sue asked, rasplly. "Not In the least," responded the young woman, amiably. "I lost It In the batle of Gettysburg." Military Discipline. No series of anecdotes of the opera tions In Manila would be complete without at least one story illustrative of the amusing drolleries of the sol diers from Tennessee, writes Lieuten ant Joe Smith, in Leslie's Weekly. Before hostilities began the Tenr.easea regiment supplied for a whilo the guard for General King's headquarters. Ons night the orders were made moro strict, and the sentry at the front en trance was Instructed to allow no man to enter after f o'clock. About 9 o'clock General King himself came to hla headnuartPrs on some urcrent hntlna j and was denied admittnnc. The next day an lnestlgatinn was Instituted nnd the sentry wis called In to bo ,ui;iiiijhiu, ,ir.i- enjiKUyjU JUS OT- deis to the general ho was asked: "And didn't you Know me?" "No, sun." "Didn't you know vho I was?" "No. sub didn't Know whethch yer was chief of ther flnh department or hW of police." He escaped censure. Target Practice When a warship goes out for target practice It Is the rustom to place all p.lflss. rhlnaware and other frir-lio nrti. ties In the hold of tho ship, as close j down to the keel as possible, In order I to prevent breakage by tho concussion that follows the firing of guns. This led to an nmuslr.g Incident at Manila I nftor the destruction or the Spanish nei. reintPs tne ban Francisco Argo naut.

An Orifjirml Jurtit. Fighting Hob Rowling, the warlike Kansas City Justice of the peace, was trying a case In which a party wai attempting to recover $10 for the death of a dog that the defendant had killed after being bitten by the canine. Tho case was nearly through, the evidence had all gone the plaintiff's way, nnd It seemed probable he would get dam ages for the loss of his treasure, when one of tho witnesses, In describing th-s dog, stated it was a yellow cur. "Did you sav that this dog wus yellow7" asked the Judge, taken by surprise. "Yes sir." was the reply. "Well, this court don't propose giving Judgment for tho Iocs of a yellow dog, and ver dict Is rendered for defendant." Tha court then adjourned. San Francisco Wave. A Handicapped QenluH. A certain Clevelander has In eomo way secured quite a reputation for literary work. He Is supposed to do lots of it, and Is looked upon with a feeling akin to awe by people who aro not Uternry themselves. Not long ago a sister of the genius was asked concerning her brother's work. "It's funny I fall to see any of it," said tho questioner? "Doesn't he ever write anything over his own name?" "I think you hnve been misinformed concerning my brother's talent," said the sister coldly and with great pre cision. "He never writes nnything for publication." And sho said It with an air that Im plied that writing for publication was a little too common for any use. His Revised Version. A gentleman from a neighboring town In Mississippi told tho following last night: "I walked Into a small store the other day and found the proprietor lying on the counter Just dozing off into a sleep, He roused himself on my approach and Jumping to the floor quoted tho fa miliar line " 'A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!' " 'Where did you get Hint.' I asked. " 'Oh, don't you know? That's what Absalom said when his horse ran un der the tree and left him banging by the hair to a limb. T thought every body knew where that came from. " Memphis Scimitar. A Timely Hint. According to Captain Coghlan. when Dowey sailed Into Manila harbor, fought his battle and then cut tho cable the English admiral wanteil to help him, but didn't dare. However, he thought tlint Dewey might tako a hint. So he sailed over to Dowey and nald: "Ah, I see you havo rut a cabl." Yes," answered Dewev. "Which one?" asked tho Innocent English admiral. And then Dewey, knowing for the first time there were two cables, rustled back, grappled for the second cable, nnd cut it. ' ' CURRENT VERSE. The Price of War. There Is glory In tho story of tho charg ing ot the foe When tho nrgry im.skets rattle nnd tho bolfctercus bugles blow; When tho cannons roar and rumble nnd tho shells In fury shriek; When tho crimson, dripping, drlppln?, brings the pallor to tho cheek. Them Is glory in the story of the vic tory so grand, But thtre'h weeping, weeping, weeping, through a devastated land. There Is honor in the giving of a life In Freedom's cause; In tho shedding of the heart's blood to uphold the country's laws; It is grand to stand where ball and sho" are flying thick pnd fast, And to know tho fleg's still flying as the soldier breathes his last; Sweet It Is to know that banner ripples still o'er tho lr-nd and foam. But there's weeping, weeping, 'weeping, In tho devastated homo. There Is glory In the story of a nation's triumph grand, But tho soil Is stnlred with crimson and there's graves throughout the land.

From tho Philadelphia Inquirer. A man Is known by tho company ho keeps, and surely Mr, Wntres cannot got comfort or satisfaction or honor In tho llttlo band of party wreckeis organized under the title of Insurgents. Ho could not strengthen them, for he could not deliver Luckawnnnu county, his home; but they c uld nnd would do li reparable Injury to him. Tho organization it composed of a fow ex-polltlcliins, a ballot-box stuffer or two and men with grievances. Place such a combination under tho leadership of Wil liam Fllnn, tho Pittsburg contractor.who Is having troubles of his own In cxplnliu lug tho ehargo that he borrowed public funds, and of David Martin, who has grown rich through politics, and there ran bo very llttlo public sympathy with It. AN IMPORTANT CASE. From the Philadelphia Record. Can President McKlnley, by vlrtuo ot his authority as comm.inder-ln-chlef of tho military forces of the United Stales, orgunlzo courts of law In tho Spanish Islands lately coma Into our possession without prior action by congress? This Question must be determined by the Uni ted States Supreme court In review of proceedlr.gs In ono of the provisional courts f&tnbllshed under tho authority of the president In Puerto lllco. The de. clslon of the Supremo court would bo Im portant, and would stand as a precedent not only In determining tho extent of executive authority in conquered terri tory, but In llxlng the stntus of our new possessions.
