Tho Philadelphia Press brands ns.a
llo tho nswrtlon thnt tho crpunlzerB of
tho nntl-Quay campaign nro boasting
thnt they linve collected n war fund
of $300,000. H'.tch bonsts have been

Secretary Gage's Vindication.
--tirc EXPLANATION offered
I by Secretary Ohrc of hi
JL course In utilizing national
banks na depositories for
public moneys, ns mlfrlit have been ex
pected, loives his critics suspended In
mld-ulr, Not only was this action fully
authorized by law but It was ilemnndnJ
by the peculiar rlnuticlnl conditions of
the country and vindicated by the Im
mediate results.
He fore Secretnry OaKO took this r.tep
to put Into public circulation funds
which otherwise would have been
locked up In the sub-treasury, loans
were belli;; made In New York city at
the rate of ISC per cent, a year and the
shiver of a panic threatened the m
tlon. Within a week after the secre
tary thus relensed the current revenues
of tho Kovernment the rat for money
on call bad fallen to C t r cent., ard
npprehemMon had vanished. As the
Philadelphia Press so lucidly explains:
"ThroiiKh no cause fur which Secre
tary Oaj;o was or could be responsible,
he found thu treasury absorbing cur
rency when currency was necessary to
the exchnnges of trade and the main
tenance of credit. Money was HowIiir
Into the treasury. It was not llowln?
out. Secretary Gape first sold bonds.
These were not taken fast enough. He
anticipated Interest. This as not
enough. He diverted deposits to the
banks of the country under the lawful
discretion conferred by statute through
the only bank ready In an emergency
to receive and handle them. This wai
enough. The world of commerce haj
escaped the peril which threatened It
that the crash of credits would extenl
from speculative to business transac
tions." The howling which has been directed
at the secretary of tho treasury for
this prompt and statesman-like mas
tery of an emergency was entirely
partisan in origin. It was the yell of
tho political fanatic seeking a pretext
to create a commotion. It happened
that Secretary Gage is a sensitive man
whose experience in public life had
not been extended enough to rcndi-r
hltn Indifferent to artlil m il clamor:
hence as he winced the aisaul: grow
more determined. Hut it will be pal
sled by the publication of the truth;
and as Secretary Gage comes to know
better the fundamental sanity of tli-
Public's sober Judgment he will feel
less keenly tho transient stings of de
famation. "The question Is often asked," re
marks the Philadelphia Press, "why
this country cannot coiuinand In tho
high and responsible posts of federal,
Htnte and city government men of the
same stamp and standing as serve nnd
safeguard public interests abroad. We
can answer the question. It Is be
cause when such men and Secretary
Gage Is one of them at largo personal
sacrlllce, leave' positions In which they
are secure, enter the public service and
In some moment o great emergency
serve the public with an energy, ability
nnd success which In other lands com
mand the highest reward loved by men
the praise, appioval and honor of
their fellow-citizens, such men are apt
to llnd themselves the target of as
sault, obloquy and abuse for nr.s
which the very men who lead tho chor
us of defamation know to be bone'.l
clent and praiseworthy. So long ns
this remains true public life will be
shunned by men of success nnd ability
in private life, unless their skins are
thick or their sense of publlj duty
high."
In time to come Secrete y OnfM will
be venerated for the opj isltlon he in
spired. T7 "
In other words, Senator Hoar craves
Permission to remark that In his Judg
ment Ithe other, fellow Is responsible.
The senators point Is not well taken.
Piracy Up to Date.
IT IS HrJPOnTCI) that England's
reply to tho representations of
our s,tte, department concerning
tho seizures of Ametlean flour In
JJelagoa bay embodies the following
three points . '
Jvirst Gr;ut Hrltnln offers to pay an
Indemnity, 'to the American citizens
whose corn, meal and Hour were seized
by the British cruisers near Delagoa
liny, the extent of the claims to ho
de term tried- toy -a -commission.
Secon'd'-areat lirltalr will not de
clare corn, meal and Hour to be con
traband when proof In not positive
that the food stuffs arc Intended for
tho camp of the enemy.
Third Oreat Britain contends that
she has not violated the rights of u
neutral power by the seizure of this
corn, meal and Hour, but that, on the
'contrnry, under her old common law,
she has n right to selzr fond supplies
absolutely necessary for the malnten
apcevo her soldhrs and sailors In time
of wrtr. , her right blng subject to
theqliUlwaf Indemnity.
"o"WHrftwoof these points there
cannot ba reasonable objection. Corn,
rrteal Ifnd flotlr, when iiiteriilNaJfipVan
enemy's military use, are contraband,
I
nccordlnpr to the consensus of opinion
among authorities on International
law; nnd where proof of such Intent
Is beyond dispute, the tight of seizure
Is one which u belligerent may prop
erly nssert, being responsible In dam
ages for nny mistakes. Our own Su
preme court. In a cas'j recently cited,
nan iti'lrmed this view.
As to tho last point, that a belliger
ent may In dire necessity seize the In
nocent property of a neutral subject
to the equities of Indemnity, we nro
not so clear. It Is lecognlzed that
armies of invasion may take supplta!
from non-combatants subject to later
Indemnity: but vp do not recall that
nny nntton nt war ha ever asserted
tho right to seize a neutral cargo In
a neutral ship upon the high seas on
tho representation that the cargo wa-
needfd In the pursuance of the bel
ligerent's pugnacious purposes. Tills)
to tho lay mind presents every fea
ture of wanton trespass which Is not
salved by Hie promise of reimburse
ment after nn Indefinite Interval of de
lay. In our Judgment tho maritime
powers will not brook such a reading
of the English common law; most cer
tnlnly to such n radical proposition the
United States will fearlessly dissent.
Captain Clark, formerly of th?
Oregon, now stands lower on tho naval
register than before tho war. Notwith
standing merltorous service, ho has
been lowered two numbers by the ad
vancement of the Manila captains. The
present system of conducting naval
promotions seems to be something af
ter the manner of transactions In Wall
street; someone Is obliged to suffer
loss in order to allow nnother to win.
A Shot That Told.
-T-HK LMPASSIONED reply of
I Senator Hoar to the Indict-
JL ment so eloquently drawn by
Senator Heverldge against
the misguided Americans who have
been encouraging Agulnnldo and his
colleague revolutionists to resist our
military forces showed that the shoo
pinched. This was what Mr. neverldpe
said:
"Ileluctantly and only from a sense
of duty, nm I forced to say that Amer
ican opposition to the war has been
the chief factor In prolonging It. Had
Agulnaldo not understood that In
America, even In tho American con
gress, even here in tho senate, he and
his cause were supported; had he not
known that It was. prcclalmed on the
stump and in the press of a faction in
the United States, that every shot hla
misguided followers fired into the
breasts of American soldiers was like,
the volleys fired by Washington's men
against the soldiers of King George,
his Insurrection would have dissolved
before it entirely crystallized. The ut
terances of American opponents of tho
war are read to the ignorant soldiers
of Agulnaldo, nnd repeated In exagger
ated form among the common people.
The Filipinos do not uudestnnd free
speech, and therefore our tolerance of
American assaults on the American
president and the American govern
ment, means to them that our president
Is In the minority or he would not per
mit what nppears to them such treas
onable criticism. It Is believed and
stated In Luzon, Panay, and Cebu that
the Filipinos have only to fight, harass,
retreat, break up up into small parties,
if necessary, as they are doing now, but
by any means hold out until tho next
presidential election, nnd our forces will
be withdrawn. All this has aided the
enemy more than climate, arms, and
battle. Senators. I have heard thos
reports myself; I have talked witli the
people; I have seen our mangled boys
in the hospital and field; I have stood
on the firing lino and beheld our dead
soldiers, their faces turned to tho piti
less Southern sky; and. In ?orro.w
rather thnn nnger, I say to those
who.se voices In America have cheered
those misguided natives on to shoot our
soldiers down, that the blood of those
dead and wounded boys of ours Is on
their hands; nnd the Hood of all tho
years can never wash that stain awny."
What corroboration is there for thl3
assertion? Does it stand alone or is It
reinforced? The testimony of Otis, of
Barrett and of Lawton emphatically
sustains it and not a word of denial
has come from a reputablo source
among the thousands of American
soldiers stationed in the Philippines.
Surely if the belief did not prevail on
the firing line that tho American task
was being complicated by the support
which u faction at home has extended
to the Insurgents there would be some
man honest and bravo enough among
the soldiers at the front to say so
frankly.
The charge Is not brought against the
senior senator from Massachusetts oi
against his antl-expanslonlst colleagues
that they are conscious of the mischief
they have done or thnt they have been
prompted by unworthy motives. Free
J concession Is mnde of their honest In
tent. Hut tho Are Innocently kindled
in an Inflammable place burns Just ns
rapidly und does Just as much damage
as tho lire which Is kindled maliciously.
The evidence Is overwhelming that
Senator Beverldge spoke the exact
truth In respect to the responsibility
of Senator Hoar nnd his associate
abettors of Agulnaldo; nnd It Is proper,
that the country should grasp tho full
significance of tho truth as thus set
forth.
If General Huller's troops coul.l
travel over the South African territory
as rapidly as his critics can trnco the
situation on a wur map, the campaign
would doubtless bo conducted In a way
to glvo entlro satisfaction In Loudon,
Where Opportunity Reckons.
ONE OF THE suggestions inude
lit tho president's message
contemplated the appoint
ment of a commission to
visit China and study conditions ther3
with u view to benefiting American
trade. This proposition gains vastly in
timeliness by reuson of tho successful
termination of Secretary Hay.'s nego
tations for an open door and equal
privileges In China.
It is gratifying to learn that congress
Is disposed to act on the president's
r.ilggesllon and there Is additional sat
isfaction In the fact that tho president
Is said to have hi view for appointment
as chalrmnn of this commission that
well-informed nnd energetic student of
Oriental affairs, ex-Mlnlster John Bar
rett. Mr. Barrett In the former divis
ions In domestic party politics was a
Democrat rind ns such was nominated
by President Cleveland for the mission
to Slam j but In tho Inrger problems
which have since arisen In consequence
of tho war against Spain ho has proved
tho genuineness of his Americanism
and the vigor nnd quickness of his In
tellect. If by conspicuous service a
man can earn tho confidence of his
government, then Mr. Ilnrrett has
earned the honor said to be under con
sideration by the president; and we
cannot imagine a man butter titled to
wear it.
Circumstances, destiny, Providence,
choose which word you will, are clear
ly drawing the American people Into a
more active Interest 'In the commerce
nnd politics of Asia; but before our ex
port trade can reach Its largest de
velopment there must be Intelligent
study of ways and means. The oppor
tunity beckons but It must be em
braced discreetly. For this reason, the
selection of a proper commission of in
quiry is a very desirable first step; and
It Is to be hoped that congress will bn
liberal In Its provision toward this end.
After spirited controversy the officials
of tho navy department have by an
overwhelming vote decided that the
dough used In the navy shall hereafter
bo mixed by electricity. And yet there
are people who Insist that department
hinds have nothing to do In times of
peace.
The vigilance of the Philadelphia
professional and amateur detectives
these days makes It rather unpleasant
for the unsuspecting truvelers who look
like Hershey.
if reluctance to adopt the silk hat
habit can be overcome In Indiana, there
seems no reason why that state should
not soon be known as political head
quarters. LITERARY NOTES.

AN OUTSPOKEN OPINION.
From tho Philadelphia Times.
England Is righting the same battle In
South Africa that tho United States aro
lighting in the Philippines. Moth H.'gs
represent the enlightened civilization of
tho nineteenth century, and both will be
successful beciiusu they have assumed a
task In tho Interest of mankind that must
be cnulcd to its consummation, mid civil
Izallon will nover luio u safo tombola
In either South Africa or tho Philippines
until tho despotism und ai.arehy of tho
Boers, and Filipinos shall bo anulhltntc.1.

Tho Bcranton Tribune Venr Book for

tho very finest that has reached this of

Judiciously arranged, Just tho soft a

I In Woman's Realm g
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
IN THE WINTER a matron's fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of cooking.
In tho prlmt she thinks about house-
clcnnli.g. In tho summer ice water,
fruit und green vegetables render tho
mental strain of meal pluunlng less ardu
ous und as autumn comes tho worry
over winter clothing and social duties oc
cupies her mind. After tho holidays,
however, she begins to meditate on tho
domestic conditions which Involvo the
fumlly diet, l'erhaps she has heard Mis.
Borer and goes home with u perturbed
soul and a heart full of questionings us
to whether all along sho hasn't been feed
ing Johnny the wrong kind of things for
his bores and whether Murgurct wouldn't
have been u fair golden haired blonde In
stead of a rosy brunotto If only she had
known what was tho diet reclpo for yel
low curls.
Pel haps somebody at tho head of tho
table has said: "1 wish you'd learn noma
other way of cooking potatoes besides
having them mashed in soggy mush, or
watery boiled."
Perhaps sho Is sick unto death of tho
old toutir.c, which even In the best regu
lated families becomes a routine, when
green things are source and eggs aro to
bo regarded with suspicion, so when a
series of cooking lectures come nlong sho
gladly trips off with her note book and
pencil and her family fares sumptuously
every day on the results of her experi
menting. HERETOFORE tho cocking classes In
this city have all been conducted
In the old approved fashion; a brisk,
handscmo lady on the platform; ulso
a big, beautiful stove, und an appalling
array of utensils the llko ol which had
never previously been beheld by the
awed housewife or tho olrtracted local
hardware dealer. A vast roomful of wo
men with their tnstlrg r.poons and their
questions; a great deal ot talk from the
platform lady, a few recipes for marvel
ous desserts nnd sanitarily cooked meat.
This Is the cooking class work a.i Scran
ton knows It. Afterward comes the reac
tion when the hardware man has bought
tens of weird articles composed of wire,
tin, Iron and other Ingredients and which
the cooks In the home kitchen refuse to
use and which aro soon discarded for the
flesh pots of Egypt, or In other words,
the ilear old familiar pots and pans, tho
old-f.isbloncd cream whips, the treasured
grlddle-euke-turncr with Its broken han
dle, tho coffeo pot 'whose contents can
bo energetically boiled without tho both
ersomo complications of "drips" and hot
water receptacles and other privately
considered foolishness,
WE HAVE CHANGED all that. Wo
nro to have a resident cook
ing rchool, a regulation series
of lessons, where tho members ot
the class do the actual cooking under tho
Instruction of the teacher. Tho school
will be open from Tuesday, Jan. 15, until
next June, und will be held In tho Young
Women's Christian association where u
most delectable room is being fitted up
on tho third floor. It is located In tho
rear of tho gymnasium, Is large, light
nnd nlry, containing six windows, a. love
of a Scrnnton 8tove company range, sup
boards, refrigerator, sinks, Hour bins and
principally three tables.
Tho classes are to number but twelvo
persona, four of whom will be scnted at
inch table, which Is wonderfully equipped
with gas apparatus uf tho most approved,
up-to-date form, with all the utensils for
each pupil, which are kept In tho table
drawers on all sides. At these tables the
pupils prepare the food as directed by
tho teacher, they make the special arti
cle of the menu according to her In
structions nnd It Is baked, or boiled, or
cooked on the big range as desired. The
gas stove on the tablo Is used for all
preliminary heatlrg of Ingredients, and
sometimes" for the entire preparation of
the dish, Tho pupils wear, the tasteful
pretty uniform of the cook, a snowy
apron with bib and sleeves and a cap.
THE TEACHER of Domestic Sclcnco
at tho Young Women's Christian as
sociation Is Miss Kate L. Smith, a
graduate of the Boston Cooking
school, tho oldest and best institution of
Its kind In the country. Tho classes are
Instructed by famous professors from the
Boston School of Technology, and tho
pupils aro promptly secured by tho pub
lic schools of Bostcn. and by colleges
and schools all ever the country, where
tho sclcnco of advanced cooking Is taught.
Nowadeys everybody realizes that the
diet moro than medicine, more than any-,
thing clsf Influences tho body for health
or tho cci trary, end everybody wants to
know what to do In crdcr to be fed along
sanitary lines. Mothers r.ro anxious lor
tho suke of their children. Wives rec
ognized tho fact that if they only knew
Just what menu to provide dally their
husbands might avoid some chronic ail
ment which certain food may have pro
duced. Housewives In general reallzo
that if their rather indifferent cooks could
be sent to a good school whero they could
bo taught by practical methods tho hap
piness of tho family might bo greatly In
creased, M1F8 SMITH comes equipped with all
this knowledge and the ability to
Impart It. She is young and most
attractive and has u voice over
low. soft nnd gentle and a charming
method of teaching.
Tho classes, as before stated, will con
tain twelve persjns enl-h. Thero are
twelve lcscns In n. series, ono a week;
tho cost of which, Including Young Wo
men's Christian association membersnlp
is $0 for tho day lessons, $1 for tho even
ing. It should bo understood that a
plensont way of taking the coarso will
bo to mako up a class of one's own special
circle of friends when n most delightful
Informal morning will bo enjoyed. There
will be public classes In which any ono
may find a place but the nrlvnto classes
will probably afford tho most genulno
pleasure. A company of matrons may
find tho day classes very satisfactory
while the evenings will naturally be
taken by tho self supporting women who
aro unable to go through tho day.
THE SCHEDULE, subject to change,
Is arranged as follows for twolvo
lessons:
1, Tulk on food principles, man
agement of fire and stove; practical les
son on plain and boiled, and mashed po
tatoes; potato soup. Incidentally contain
ing Instructions regarding starchy foods,
2. Eggs, boiled, poached, omelet, sauce,
etc.
3. Dclmcnlco potatoes: whllo sauce;

etc.
9. Desserts.
10. Chops, neufchatel ral.td, French

II, Stews, boiled meats, creamed car

Tho llrst series of lessons will contluuo
for twelvo weeks, to bo followed by n see
ond. Later u short eourso of lessons will
be devoted to special subjects, bucIi us
diet, kitchen, chafing dish, waitress In.
structlon, cookery for the sick, etc.
Tho school Is Intended to Do perma
nent and it Is hoped by many patrons
that from It will bo developed a trulnlng
school for domestic help, cooks, wait-te-sses
und laundresses. Such nn Insti
tution is wofully needed In this city
whero tho multltudo uf factories and
mills render It dillicult to secure good ser
