Tlip Invitation to the Ninth roslment
of Wilkes-Ham? to tnke part In the
ceremonies of. welcome to Orneral Otis,
nt ItochCHtor, was a graceful compli
ment to tho wife of the distinguished
otllcer, who Is a native oi Luzerne
county, and It Is to he hoped that the
soldiers will bo able to avail themselves
of the opportunity offered to enjoy tho
hospitality of Rochester. Tho Ninth Is
one of the finest bodies of men In tho
service and tho regiment will no doubt
be one of the features of the occasion
In case the Invitation shall bo accepted.
The Logical Nominee.
TrlIH HKNOMINATION
of
I President McKInley Is con-
JL reded. No opposition hag
nppeared ogalnst him. Ho
has done his work so well and the
country under his administration has
leen so successful In war and so pros
perous and progressive In peace that for
the Republican party not to continue
him at the helm of tho ship of stuto
would bo ungrateful and unwise.
President McKInley, however, needs
the help of a Republican congress to
continue tho magnificent success he has
already won. All the policies which ho
and his sagacious advisers formulate;
all tho laws which promote tho gen
eral welfare liavo to bo worked out in
congress. A Democratic congress would
not co-operato with the Republican
president: It would sjjend tho people's
time and money In trying to put tho
people's chief executive In a hole. A
Republican congress consisting largely
of new men would be at a disadvant
age against tho resourceful leaders of
the Democracy.
The reasons which make 'William
McKInley tho logical candidate of his
party for renomlnatlon as president
make William Connoll the logical
candidate oC the Republican voters of
Lackawanna county for renomlnatlon
as congressman. Tho two have work
ed together. They have never been
apatt. Every measure that the one
has favored In tho white house tho
other hns supported at the capltol.
Every effort of the enemy to embar
rass and hamper tho president has
found In William Connell nn opponent
who has never wavered and who has
never been led astray.
While those not favorable to his
candidacy have been free to canvass
actively against him at home, he has
considered that his place was at his
pot of public duty. Elected with Mc
KInley in 1S9C, ho remained steadily
on tho ground to vote -for Republican
principles and measures where each
vote counted. His record at Washing
ton Is an open one nnd forms his
claim for tho continued confidence and
support of his constituents. On this
record he seeks a renomlnatlon nt
Monday's primaries and solicits the
active co-operation of all his friends.
No one seems to care what George
Fred "Williams thinks of the situation.
The Work of Congress.
WHEN THE magnitude of
the Interests dependant
upon congress Is consid
ered, a mngnltudo great
ly Increased by tho legislative conse
quences of tho recent war, the fact
that some legislation of vast Import
mice was not llnlshed nt the HrB ses
sion of the Fifty-sixth congress is not
astonishing; tho wonder Is that upon
tho eve of a presidential campaign,
when the manufa;v.iie of eanipMgn
capital Is a dominant consideration
with . tho lenders of both parties, so
much has been done and in the main
well done.
Of tho completed legislation of tho
first fiosslon, easily the most Important
Is tho financial act making permanent
tho gold standnrd and liberalizing the
provisions regulating bank note circu
lation. Comprehensive laws for the
government of Porto Rico and Hawaii
have been passed, nnd much jnogress
has been made by tho committees in
charge of legislation affecting the
other dependencies, The passage of
tho freo homestead net opens to free
entry millions of acres of public land
In tho west heretofore sold at stated
figures per acre. A valuable law for
the protection of game birds nnd ani
mals has been passed; this yenr'fl
naval bill Is tho most elaborate and
generous contribution yet mude to the
upbuilding of our navy, A law to cor
rect Inequalities n the existing pen
sion legislation has been passed; nnd
by the exclusion of Brlgham Roberts
polygamy has been effectually repud
iated. Of legislation udvanced but not com
pleted, tho most Important are the
Hay-Pauncofoto treaty with referencu
to tho Nicaragua canal, the shipping
bill nnd the army reorganization bill,
Each of these measures Is rcaaonab.y
certain to prevail at the next or short
session. What Is known ns routine
'vglslatlon, by which term is meant
the annual or biennial appropriation!?
for tho carrying on of the continually
enlarging nnd diversifying procowj of
government, Iioh been attended to con
scientiously nnd In a business-like
manner. Tho appropriations of the ses
sion exceed $700,000,000 but there is lit
tle waste and much lesa than the usual
padding.
It Is not necessary for one to look
through a very powerful telescope to
see tho end of the African war.
Where Will It End?
I
N CONSEQUENCE of the violent
feeling which hns grown out of
the street car strike In St. Louis
n number of men have been kill
ed or crippled, a large amount of prop
erty has been destroyed, half a mil
lion people have been subjected to
great Inconvenience nn well as to tho
perils which nttend a break-down of
law and order; nnd lately, to crown
the column of abuses, three women
of respectable character, for having
ridden upon cars operated by non
union employes, have in as many lo
calities been nttacked by frenzied
mobs, led on by excited partisans of
the strikers, nnd In each Instance
stripped of their clothing and, nmonff
other Indignities, forced to wander
about the streets in a nudo condition
until kindly disposed persons living in
the neighborhood could supply them
with clothing so that the police could
escort them home.
This condition of anarchy has gone
so far that tho pollso of St. Louis have
received orders to bhoot on sight any
man guilty of such an offence, and
men who formerly evaded summons
to serve as deputy sheriffs are now
volunteering to restore order by force.
Prominent women arc circulating a
Petition to the governor of tho state
Imploring him to use the military arm
to put down the lawlessness; and the
labor leaders ecpually with the local
authorities arc appalled at tho forces
of evil which the stilke has unchained.
A little while ago similar scenes
were being enacted In Cleveland. Then
the scene shifted to Chicago and now
It is laid In St. Louis. Where will It
end? How long will the public per
mit Itself to be made to bear the
brunt of theso recurring acts of war
when nt any moment, by tho simple
assertion of Its stiength, It can pro
tect itself and protect society by com
pelling the rartles In Interest In such
disputes to submit their diffeiences to
legal arbitration under a system mak
ing the award mandatory?
The Pittsburg committee that has
been organized to proceed to China nnd
investigate conditions will probably
conclude to remain at home and read
the newspapers.
A Study In Crime.
THE
Mr
trl
CASE OF Lieutenant
Martin, who Is undergong a
ial by court martial for
three alleged forgeries In
connection with his management of tho
post exchange and canteen at Fort
Hancock, just now offers extra Inter
est to the student of criminology be
cause of tho fact that the lieutenant's
wife has just been arrested for run
ning a pool room in New York. More
than thirty women, race-trnck gamb
lers, were caught in a round up in her
establishment this week nnd the pro
prietor was held for trial.
The question naturally arises as to
whether tho officer whose cilmo has
been found out is to blame for his own
deflection from the path of honesty
and also for his wife's most dating
method of Increasing the family In
come, or whether her extravagant de
sires and lack of principle are respon
sible for his recklessness and tho down
fall of both.
Whatever may be the real truth In
the case, the weight of opinion will
probably Incline to tho, latter view.
The public seems to expect much higher
standards of a woman than of a man.
In the flitJt place it would bo likely to
demand that she prevent her husband
from managing n canteen and would
be likely to Insist that she euro him of
the morphine habit which In this caso
Is added to the unfortunate features.
Then it would decidedly object to her
position as a pool-room proprietor,
whatever may be tho prejudices re
garding pool rooms in general. This
paitlcular nrmy woman, by the wny,
Is well equipped for the star rolo in n
Captain King novel.
Here Is a little fact which Is big wlt'i
meaning: "In 1SS9 there were In tho
United States in all 3,800,000 depositors
in tho savings banks. Ten years later,
in 1S89, there were no less than S.200,000
depositors. In 1S91 each depositor had
an average of $309 In bank; in 1S99 tho
average had risen to $419."
Taxation In France.
THE IMPRESSION of the av
erage American concerning
France, ns Influenced by re
cent misfortunes and scan
dals In French public life, is not com
plimentary and it probably Is true that
less attention Is paid by American
students of foreign methods to French
ways and means of government than
they deserve. Instruction Is to be hnd
In many particulars by sciutlny of
French legislation, a fact emphasized
In some recent reports from American
consuls stationed in that republic.
An Instance may bo cited In the Juna
teport, which explains French methods
of taxation. As summarized in the
Washington Star, this article goes on
to show somo features which might
well be Imltuted In the United States.
For example, houses and other build
Ings nre taxed In proportion to thg
rent derived from them, buildings used
for business purposes paying a lower
tax than those used as residences, To
Induce parties to build, houses are not
taxed until three year after they nro
completed. Exemptions uro granted to
all large families of limited means and
worthy of sympathy, and by a law of
1897 rural proprietors whoso taxes
would nmount to from 10 to 23 franca
aro relieved from all taxation. Every
species of business pays a license tax,
and, Btrangest of all, the amount de
rived from personal taxes Is as large as
that derived 'from real property. The
theory on which property of all kinds
Is tnxed Is based upon Its capacity to
yield a revenue, and not on Its Intrin
sic value. The French system haji Its
drawbacks, notably In the caso of a
separate tax on doors nnd windows, thn
multiplication of which, for sanitary
reasons, ccrtnlnly ought to bo encour
aged, Rut tho general Idpa of the
French system, that taxation- should
ho based as far as possible on tho
ability of tho property taxed to pro
duce a revenue, Instead of upon Its
Intrinsic value, Is one well calculated
to become popular In this country.
The Indian famine and Its accom
panying horrors are In part the result
of tree-destruction. Now Is the time
for the United States to profit by the
lessons of the East nnd check, before
It Is too late, tho efforts of those who
would annihilate American forests.
With wnr measures uncompleted and
much other valuable legislation at
Washington only partly through con
gress, it Is a poor time for Republican
voters to think of sending inexperi
enced men to represent them In the
national legislature.

Poking Fun at Chicago.
OME time ago a Chicago man decided to
name his Infant daughter Eulalla, in honor
of tho Spanish infanti. And h.nlng done bo,
say the New York Tribune, hr thought it would
be tho proper thing to Inform the princess of
the honor he had paid to her. He therefore
urnte to her on a sheet of his olllco raper and
uddrosciil It, "Infanta Eulalla, Spain, Europe,"
adding the word Europe to prevent the letter
from going by mistake to Spain, S. I). In
course of time he received a reply from the In
fanta, In which she graciously thanked him for
the honor that he had done, wished her name
sake all happinoKi, and at the same time desired
that her nurancc of dlttirgulshd and profound
lomlderation might be comejed to the people
of Chicago. The letter wjs beautifully urlttin
nn superfine paper, with the rojal arms of Spain
blaroneil thereon In colors. It was the direc
tion of the envelope; houocr, that most ex
citd admiration of all who beheld it. The ad

Speaking to tho Doers crowning the steep hills

at the end of a cum citation flashed: "Well,

The answer came back: "Oh, Ho will!"
(irninl Dr. Coiun Polo, who haa gone to the
front, made an equally witty retort the other
da). "I hear you are going to dramatize jour

friend of hit, meeting him on the street,
Doyle shook his head. "I knew nothing of
it," he said.
"Hut jou are going to tho front, arc you noti"
"Ye."
"Well, the first time you get Into the thick

"No, sir,' retorted Doyle, "I'm a doctor, and
am going to make A Study In Scarlet, if jou

"I know that a tn.or is proverbially stupid,"
ho said, "but jou Kern to make an extensive

At another time, vihlle one of his grand In

by his musicians, a i ecuPar noise, hardly per
ceptible liy untrained earn, annojed the leader
for some little time. At first he thought it re

his gestuns, nxing ma ejes on the oliendor In

ladles, If jou please, that the reptile changes
color to accord with that of the object upon
which It Is plated. It Is at present crimson in

"Dear me!" tald the girls, In chorus. "How

How He Lost Hie Jurisdiction.
T rSTICE P.P.EWEU the other day told a story
" of an Indiana Justice of the peace who
owned a farm. One line of his fmce formed
the boundary of the states of Indiana and Ohio.
Like others In rural districts who hold that of
fice, lie bad an abnormal appreciation of the re
sponsibility of the office, and never lost an op
portunity to excrtUe his prerogative ot de
manding that the peace be pieserved. One day
his son and his hired man got to fighting on a
stretch of the farm near the boundary line
fence, and the Justice ot the peace rushed out
and mounted the knee. Thin, with head cocked
high and the air of one who has but to com
mand he shouted:
"In the name of tho state of Indiana, I de
mand the preservation of the peace!"
.lust then the fence fence gave way under ids
weight, and as lie went down with the fence
tippling over to the Ohio side, he shouted to
Ills son:
"C.ive 1dm the mischief, Jim; I've lost my
Jurisdiction!"

A RECORD TO BE PROUD OF.
From the Olyphant lletord.
For two terms Hon. William Connell has been
tho representative of this district nt Welling
ton, lie was chosen four jears ago by the larg
est vote ever given to any man for that ofihe.
Mr. Connell was then new to the public service and
consequently his career was watched with in
terest by all parties. Xo ope today disiudits
his ability as displajed in the house. He .has
always worked and voted for the measures advo
cated to promote the best Interests of the coun
try, lie helped defeat Roberts' plan to a seat
In congress; he worked for sound money; and
many other Important measures, but his chief
work has been done In trjlng to get another
United States Judicial court in I'cnnsvlvanla.
It is greatly needed, but it was left to Mr. Con
nell to puih the matter to what looks now like
a successful issue.
Ilesides these measures be has been on some
of the Important committees of the house and
there has done hard, tiresome work for his con
stituents and the country. No man has ever
called upon him for assistance that could be
given but what it was readily rendered. In all
his four years there is nothing but good that
can be said of his work. He has been a pains
taking, conscientious official, eagerly watchful of
the Interests of his district. No man in the
house has a better record for the faithful per
formance of every duty. He never neglects his
duty; but Is always present. Ills record is one
to he proud of, ami wc have no doubt that he
will lie renominated by a handsome vote next
