"" TEN PAGEsT SCRANTON, DnCRMBKIl 21. 1S99. The countty will mistuln the timely nr-tlon of Senator Knlr-bnnks In Intro ducing n bill to pension General I,:iw ton's widow, who. by Ills ile.llh, Is left virtually penniless. Her husband snvc Ms whole energy iIuiIiir life anil final ly life Itself to the service of Ilia court tiy nt sennt compensation whllo nllve; nml now lot no lnsintc seek tn block the course of Justice to his surviving belts. Ovcr-Countinp; the Cost. WITH UKPKnHNCI-: to tlio death of General l.uw ton the Philadelphia I.edBcr says: "The en tire Philippines nre not worth the life of one such n brnve putt lot, mid yet the administration has caused the country to pay for them thousands of lives nnd at least a hundred of millions of tioas tttv. Blood and money have been pouted out like wnter to perpetuate a, political blunder." Genet nl Unwton was a soldier from shoe-sole to crown. His life was spent In flKhthiR enemies of his R-ovetntnent nnd In that put suit ho died u soldier's death, falling nt the head of his column w itli face to the foe. Wo are satlslled that could he have chosen the manner of his death he would not have chosen differently; and could his opinion have been had as to the time, surely ho would nut have selected a different time than the one which puts him befotc the con templation of every American citizen as ii hero stricken In warfare nfter Ioiik and brilliant service. We lament the necessity which sheds blood In any cause; and the los to the nation In the sacrillee of a man like Lawton Is not rarlly exaRKerated; still, that which has come to pass Is not to be undone by murmurlnj:. nor Is It a compliment to Lawton's memory to use his name In connection with a prowl. The ciy of reRiet when progress causes suffering is very natural; but philosophy teaches that war Is not tha only form of ptoRtess which exacts the tribute of bloodshed. The coal which furnishes the fuel used In seneratln the power that turns the Ledger's pi esses Is not mined without loss of life nnd heroes as brave as lawton fall In the mines every little whIle.'Tho trains which tiansport the Keillor from press room to reader are not run with out a sanguinary cost, but it does not f'jllow that the processes of civilization are therefore to be suspended. If our contemporary will use a little philos ophy In Its contemplation of the Phil ippine problem It will discover that, npatt from the personal Brief involved, the death of General Lawton, coming as It did. Is neither a bad thins for J-Kiwton nor for the country which hon ors him in deatli more than It could ever have honored him In life. The ex ample of fidelity to duty and of cour age in the performance of that duty which It sharply accentuates; the hal lowed association which in time to come It will nttach to the soil whereon he fell this Is not a piopor subject of regret but rather an Inspiration Rolnty Into the souls of Lawton's surviving countrymen. The hand Is to the plough In this Fhlllpplnc affair and It Is nonsensical to talk of turning back. The local Democrats regaid each other as though they had been drink ing from a uuassl-wood loving cup. Diplomatic Reforms. IN A LIXTURE recently delivered before the school of diplomacy In the Columbian university, Hon. John W. Poster, former secretary of state and one of the pillars of our diplomatic department, V put In evidence his belief that the Vnlted Stntcs made a mistake when It raised the tank of its chief reptesen tatives at foreign capitals to that of ambassadors and thereby gave notlco of Its Intention to enter Into competi tion with the aristocratic nations of Europe In what the Washington Post, In discussing Mr, Foster's remarks, al lude" Jtt) as "plflclal parade and tom foolery?1' ,.".. .wSjUipifmentlfngthi. lecturer that In terest np?"Journnt say's: "There has been no time In our history when a representative of the United States could not secure nil the respect nnd consideration to which his nation was entitled, If he had the oourago and the tact to make his claim. All this talk about the necessity of higher tank for our envoys nt foreign capitals, In order to assure them proper recognition, Is ppnsensq. Wu have commanded nnd shall continue to command such recog nition In the exnet intio of our national Importance, and we can do this In the future, as wo have done It In the past, without the aid of hlgh-soundlng titles and foolish, ceremonious fuss. As for the trumpery squabble over precedence at dinners and receptions who shall stand nearest o the Ktruscan cuspidor pr, the Porflpollan coal-scuttle, or who shrill get first place in tho rush for te'rrapln and champagne the American peonlo will bo very glad to have such mutters referred to the high tribunal of opera boufte, where they legitimately belong. Not more than one person In every fifty thousand of our population caH whQtlier.fQrelsn envoys at Wash ington or United States envoys at for eign capitals are called ambassadors or mlnlsteis, or, for thut matter, whether the, have .any tlUqs ut all; but almost tviftyDQdys""weTiry of the trumpery pomp, thQ."YJftyfiSCs7'tlie mean snobbery, and irksome multiplication of ofllcial personnel which constitute the harvest of our lnttcr-day diplomatic cxpunslon. Sir. Koster Rpeuks for the country when ho says tltnt wo shall neither solve the problem of precedence nor Increase our own dignity by a servile Imitation of Kuropcnn tom foolery In this matter." This question can he approached somewhat differently now than It could have been two years ago. At that time, American prestige at certain continental centers was not so high that wo could nfford to Institute Inno vations or neglect opportunities In dip lomatic ceremony. Today the Import ance attaching to the ofllce of repre sentative of the 1 'tilted States Is such that the small details of court cus tom appear dwarfed; so much so that, If It be deemed advisable to begin a reconstruction of our policy In this direction the time Is opportune. What Is called the "new diplomacy" has al ready established the precedent of out spoken speech without equivocation In place of the Ingenious lying of former times. Perhaps corresponding leforma tlon of the ridiculous etiquette of diplomacy Is to come from the same source and In the same manner. Following each report of disaster to British troops In South Africa the rush of volunteers nt L'ngllsh recruiting stations increases. This Is an Indica tion of sentiment that foreign nations disposed to take advantage of Great Utltaln's dilemma will do well to con sider. Sampsoii'ScliIcy. u PON AUTHORITY It Is said that an agreement has been reached between the admin istration and the partisans of Admiral Schley In the senate where by a bill to create the grade of vice admiral and provide for two appoint ments to that grade will be passed without opposition, the condition be ing that the ptcsldcnt Is to nominate for those positions Hear Admirals Sampson and Schley. But for this agreement It Is said that promotion to Sampson would b blocked. No new facts bearing on the case have come to light and the old facta nre, or ought to be, well known. The lltness of Sampson for promotion has not been questioned but on the con trary Is strongly a'lirmed by all un biased students of bis professional career. The lltness of Schley for pro motion has been questioned and th" recotds of the navy depattnient supply the reasons why. If In the light of these records and reasons the president wishes to make Schley u vice admiral and the senate Is willing to confirm the nomination, no profit can come to laymen from a furtl-cr agitation of the. subject. The quicker the mantle of oblivion can be dtoppod over the whole affair the better will It bo for the future of the navy. Now that the name of Arthur Sewal! has been sponged from the slate as Colonel Bryan's presidential running mate, there may be hopes for "Coin" Harvey. The Ex-Governor of Cuba. T IS PKOPEK that a word of ap preciation should now bo printed In behalf of the retiring execu tive of Cuba, Major General Brooke. The period of his adminis tration covers a few days less than .1 year, yet as he points out in his fare well manifesto, a year ago he founJ the country devastated, Its resources and commerce destroyed, and Its rural population gatheted In Its towns with out shelter and dying from starvation and exposure, while today substantial evidences of prosperity appear on ev ery hand, municipal and provincial governments have been organized nnd put in the hands of the native people, the courts have been to a considerable degree reorganized, with many of the laws modernized, peace reigns and law and order rules. Although much hard work remains to bo done In the recon struction of affairs preliminary to the establishment of stable native govern ment, and although there seemed at the time to be a good many Items In General Brooke's passing conduct open to question If not to censure, it must In fairness be said for him that, taking Into account the limitations and tho strange circumstances by which he was surrounded he has perfotmed a wonderful task. He went to Cuba ufter a very brief expet lence as the military governor of Porto Itlco, to which latter assignment ho had gone without any experience whatever In the civil functions of such an olilce. All his life he had been a soldier, Inured to military forms an 1 ideas. That under these conditions he should have shown some signs of what civilians call the spirit of a martinet Is less remarkable than that In grap pling with the largo and complicated ptoblems of un utterly new function ii'i should so many times have been right. It Is necessary to say that In all the criticism of General Brooke which has found Its way Into the American presi not once has his honesty been ques tioned, never has scandil In the fami liar Spanish sense attached to his handling of the revenues or his ap pointments to olilce, and by no man has the charge been brought that he did not do the best that was In him. This Is why fair-minded men will overlook minor errors of detail and accord to htm a cordial welcome home. The American people can be proud of nn army which has ready for each new emergency men of the stamp of John It. Brooke. Maud Marceau, a contributor to the Weekly Democratic Magazine, asserts that America needs a Zola to teach us our duty in tho Maybrlck case. The writer in this case seems to have mis taken the location of need. While many believe In the innocence of Mrs. Maybrlck and have made every rea sonable effort to secure her release, It Is not a case within the Jurisdiction of any one In authority on this side of the ocean, An English Zola, backed by ample capital, might accomplish re sults similar to those In tho Dreyfus affair, but It is difficult to too how any such effect could be produced by further agitation In the United States. Mablnl, one of Agulnaldo's chiefs, admits that the Philippine Insurrection Is crushed nnd says that If a liberal government Is given the Inhabitant.! of the Islands no more trouble will bo ex perienced. This looks as though Ma blnl would bo willing to accept an of fice under the government If sulllclcnt Inducements were thrown in. Edward Bole, tho youthful authority on fcmlnlno topics, announces that "If nil the dressmakers known to exist In America worked twenty-four hours of each day for a whole year, without stopping for sleep or meals, they would still be nble to make only one dress apiece for less thnn seven-eights of the women of America." The saddest feature of tho announcement Is the fact that Mr. llok offers no remedy for this calamitous Btate of affairs. Even with the dressmakers working overtime, what is to become of the one-clghth In this season of prosperity when almost every woman can nfford a new gar ment? Ale they to be compelled to go dressless or resort to the bargain coun ter $4 "tailor-mades?" This Is Indeed a serious thought to precipitate at a time when so many other vexed ques tions aro up for consideration. Let us hear from some representative wo man's cub. The recent trouble in Wall street need not bo taken seriously. It was simply an Indication that shearing time had arrived. Tho combined winnings of ten brokers during the panic amounted to $7,000,000. As the lamb.s have nearly nil been relieved of their winter lleece, affairs In Wall street may be expected soon to resume their normal condition. m Adversity does not seem to cement the friendship of the base ball mag nates. They are now engaged In a wrangle that may end In the death of ptofesslonal ball. Base ball has been the victim of rowdyism and hlppo dromlng. Lovers of true sport will regret Its downfall. Palmists have been reading the hands of Mr. Bryan, but none of them can see lines Indicative that either will ever pen a president's message. Politics and theatrical entertain ments experience difficulty in securing a hearing this week. Philadelphia Is already beginning to act conventional. TOLD BY THE STARS.

The Christmas number of Truth, tho New York Illustrated weekly, Is not only an extremely interesting magazlno In point of Illustration and reading matter, but is a work of art from cover to cover, Inclusive. The color pages are of un usual beauty and interest, and Include reproductions from the paintings of many leaiflng artists. There Is also a very handsome three-panel calendar ac companying each number, and exempll fjlrts tho perfection of color printing. Among the literary contributors aro Julian Ralph, Paul Lawrenco Dunbar, Ellis Parker Cutler, Charles F. Lummts, Tudor Jcnks, Madison Caweln, Louise Betts Udwaids, Carolyn Wells, and Mien aol Glfford White. Short stories, special nrtlcles, poetry, pages for children, and a good sharo of lighter matter, go to make up a very beautiful Christmas number. "A History of American Privateers," by Edgar Stanton Maclay, author of "A History of tho United States Navy," Is announced for Immediate publication by D. Appleton and Company. After bevcral years of research, the distinguished his torian of American sea power presents tho first comprehensive account of one of tho most pictures-quo and absorbing phases of our maritime warfare. Tho importance, of tho theme is indicated by the fact that the value of prizes and cargoes taken by privateers in the Rco lutlon was threo tlnws that of tho prizes and cargoes taken by naval vessels, while In the War of 1812, we had 617 pri vateers, and only 2i vessels In our navy, Edward F. BIgelow, editor of Popular Science, a well-known specialist In nature-study, Is to conduct a department of "Nature and Science for Young Folks" In St. Nicholas, and will answer all the questions children ask him. Another new departure Is tho St. Nicholas League, an organization of young people wherein prizes nro offered for tho best composi tions, drawings, photographs, etc. St. Nicholas will give unusual attention to educational subjects In 1900. Tho January number will contain an Illustrated article describing tho work done In Washington In "Out-of-Door Schools." where classes study plants and unlmals, government, geography, sclenco and nrt In the parks, museums, and public buildings. Tho Christmas number of tho Saturday Evening Post maiks a now Uepurturo in periodical literature tho first successful attempt to give for flvo cents, stoiles, ar ticles and pictures by the same writers and artists who make the high-cost mag azines.

P., Jchn Luther Long, M. B. M. Davis, W. C. Coup and W. S. Uur wood contribute stories c.id articles. The verso In tho number is by Edwin Mark ham, Frank L. Stantc.ii, Mary E. WIN kins and Clinton Scollard, Tho Janunry number of McCluro's Mas azlno promises something In tho way of color printing surpassing unythlng yet achieved by muguzlnes, In Illustration of the first chapters of "The Ltfo of the Master," by Dr. John Watson (Ian Mac laren), eight brilliant paintings by C. K, ) .In son will bo reproduced full-pace, lu all tho colors of tho originals, Tho titles of theso paintings are "Tho Annunciation to Mary," "A Nazareth Btreet Scene," "Fountain Scene at Nazareth," "Tho Way Up to Bethlehem," "Tho Flight Into Egpt," "Tho Birthplace of John tho Baptist," "Rachel's Tomb," and "Jesus Laboring! at Homo with Joseph and Mary." Tho narrative of Copt. Joshua-Slocum's "single-handed circumnavigation of tho globe" has procd n rcmnrknbly popular fcaturo of tho Century, in tho January number, tho Yankeo sailor tells of his arrlvnl at Capo Town and visit to tho South African republic, whero ho was accorded nn Interview with President Krugcr. Everything went smoothly till Capt. Slocum's Introducer, Judgo Beyers, referred to his voyago "around" tho world. "You don't mcun 'round' tho world," exclaimed their host. "It Is im possible. You mean in' tho world." In the January Scrlbncr's Governor Roosevelt Inaugurates a series of articles embodying a critical study of tho life and times of Oliver Cromwell. In tho samo number a new serial, by J. M. IJur rle, entitled "Tommy and Grlzzel," will bo begun. It Is said to bo tho best work that Mr. Barrio has yet done In fiction. A new two-step on the cake-walk order, entitled "Impecunious Davis," has been Issued by F. A. Mills, 4S West Twenty ninth street, New York. It Is by Kerry Mills, tho pioneer In this field of muslcnl composition, nnd It embodies tho well known peculiarities of this composer's work. Tho ndvat.ee sale Is 2C,000 copies. Felix Gras, nuthor of "Tho Reds of Midi," which ai.idi.tono praised, Is now publishing, through D. Appleton nnd Company, "The White Terror, the con cluding volume of his groat trilogy of tho French Revolution, which Is des cribed as the crown of the author's in terpretation of tho revolution in fiction, A timely lssuo by Laird & Lee, Chica go, consists of a tourists' map of Paris, together with directions for finding points of lntcrcot In tho French capital and for earning on a partial conversa tion in tho French tongue. Tho volumo Is designed for Americans Intending to visit tho Paris exposition. "Tho True Story of tho Boers" Is tho title which has been Mven to H. C. 1111 legas's timely book, "Oom Paul nnd his People," which Is f.ald to bo the most Intel estlng nnd successful of all the books dealing with the Boers and their relations to the English. Mr. S. S. McClurc, founder nnd editor of McClure's Magazine, announces his purpose to enter upon a general book publishing hi slness. He Is nlso planning n now mr.t thly pciloOlcal to bo called McClure's Review. "Tho King's Mirror." by Anthony Hope, Is declared almost unnnlmously by English critics to repiesent the best lit erary work which tho author has done. Paul Leicester Ford's new historical romance, "Janice Meredith," published less than two months ago by Dodd, Mcud & Co., is now selling In Its 123d thousand. Arrangements have been made for an Australian edition of "David Harum," which will be Issued shortly. The 390th thousand of "David Harum" Is announced by D. Appleton and Com pany. m PERSONALITIES. John Wannmaker authorizes the state ment that he never advertised In a Sun day newspaper and never will. One of the most prominent lawyers of Oklahoma City Is Laura Lyklns, a hair blood Shawnee woman, who w.us gtadu- ated from the ligal department of tho Carlisle Indian School In lS'JS. Albert J. Earllng, the new preslJent of tho Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railway. Is a native of WiHconsIti, and began his rallioadlng as a telegraph op erator at Oconouiowoc, on the Milwau kee road, when a boy. He went through all the grades, from station operator, train dispatcher, assistant superintend ent, assistant general superintendent, manager and finally to the presidency. Tho late John I. Blair, in his earlier days,, owned a western railroad along the rotito of which ho established a serlej of lunch rooms, at which employes of the road were to be charged GO and till pas sengers 73 cents. Mr. Blair once dined at 0110 of these places, and, concluding his meal, laid down a half dollar. "Hold on!" cried tho cashier, "you don't belong to this road." "I know," replied Mr. Blair, "the road belongs to me." Ex-Governor II. S. Thompson, of South Carolina, who has Just returned from a tour of Europe, tells this story: "When I was traveling In Switzerland a native of ono of tho towns in which I stopped, who had evidently been told where 1 came from, approached mo at the hotel and said : 'Excuse me, sir, but will you gratify my curiosity by telling mo what It was that the governor of North Caro lina said to tho governor of South Caio llna?' All I could do, of cours-e, was to throw up my hands, repeat tho remark of the governor of North Carolina and glo a practical Illustration of what followed It. It Is astonishing how those stories travel." AS TO CHEAP POWER. Editor of Tho Tribune Sir: Noticing tho vailous articles ap pearing in Tho Tribune (probably adver tisements, although there. Is nothing to Indicate It), extolling Niagara as a loca tion for manufacturing enterprises, ow ing to tho cheap power furnished, I am Impelled to assert, and am prepared to ptovo by actual results attained, that power and electricity can bo furnished In tho anthrnclto coal regions for less than Is charged at Niagara, leaving a very largo margin of profit. This Is not an unreliable assertion of an enthusiastic Inventor, but Is based on established facts and can be so demonstrated to any ono willing to Investigate. J. Gardner Sanderson.
