With ID candidates on tho tlrlcet and returns from tho more populous dis tricts greatly delayed, Tho Tribune hits found It Impossible to prepare anything lllcc a compiehensive table for this morning's issue. The footings aip Klvon elsewhere from as ninny districts ns lincl been heard from at tho time of closing the last form. This was the best that we could do. The Crawford County System. - HK TltlHUNK never favored I the Crawford county ays- JL tern and It takes this occa sion to recall that fact to the nttentlon of some of the system's original advocates who seem, under the tuition of experience, to have changed their early opinion of it. Wo don't lllce to say: "We told you so," but It Is necessary to record in the Interest of historical accuracy that every assertion which The Trihune has ever made concerning the Crawford county system's lack of adaptability to a population like our own has been vindicated to the abundant satisfac tion of every unprejudiced observer. It was heralded as "the poor man's system"; under Its operation the man without a campaign "bar'l" was to stand on a footing of equality along side tho bloated plutocrat. Yet we nave seen estimates prepared by Re publicans originally favorable to the direct primary ayrtem which put the total expenditure of money during the campaign ended yesterday at all the way from $73,000 to $120,000. This is all the more notable coming from tho system's sponsors, and It derives ad ditional significance from the fact that tho nomination of candidates means for those nominated simply a begin ning of political expenses, which will continue In greater or less degree up to the day of election. What the political effect of the Crawford county experiment will be upon tho party vote next fall for the hotly contested offices remains' to bo seen. There will be no excuse for de feated candidates or their friends to refuse to support the winners; and in view of the fact that the Crawford county system opened the door to every republican desirous of running for office, tho result of the primaries should hi nccepted. In good spirit and everybody should turn In loyally for the victorious ticket. Yet human na ture is human nature; and it Is patent that whore there are so many more candidates than there were possible nominations, sorenoss for a time will be Inevitable. There would be sore np.ss under any system; but probably not so much as is to be feared under the present one. Whether or not at Thursday's con vention nn attempt will bo made to rhange hack to the delegate system we do not know. If made It must pome from the men who originally wanted the Ciuwford system. It is evidently fair that they must ns3ume the responsibility for continuing or lepeallng it. m A misunderstanding seems still to exist as to the date of the county convention to compute the returns of last night's primaries. Tor this The Tribune was partly to blame in say ing through mistake one day last week that the convention would ba held on Tuesday. An was explained In last Saturday's issue, tho convention will be held on Thursday morning at IU o'clock. Unfair Opposition to the Ship Subsidy Bill. IN AN OPEN LETTER addressed , tq General Charles H, Grosvenor, JJfclinlrman of the houso merchant 1 marino and fisheries committee. Alexander It. Smith, of New York, a former member of the Nw York Com merce commission, answers an utta:Ic on the ship subsidy bin o.llch has been favorably reported to each branch of congress, Mr. Smith openly chargei that the foreign shipping Interest-!, aided by tho free-traders and other enemies - of American shipping, arn striving with mleht and main to fle stroy the one American line now en gaging In our trade with Europe. In his letter Mr. Smith says, In part: "The assertion that 'the cream of the subsidy Is designed to fall to those ves sels of tho Internattonil Steamship company,' la not only erroneous, hut aeemB purposely designed to prejudice the public against that line tho only line, by the way, engaged In our trad with Europe under the American (lag. This ltm has brton singled out for tho most virulent, malignant, end frequent attacks ever since the shipping bill has been before the public. It has bean asserted, but without a word of truth, that It Is controlled by the Standard Oil and the Pennsylvania Railroad companies. It has been pictured as a part of a monopolistic trust, whereas It Is battling, single-handed anl alone, Byalnit the roast powerful steamship lines In the world. Thci other lints -all under foreign flags are baekid up with unlimited wealth anl Inf. suppoir. of their several governments to what ever extent may be nocetsary to enable them to successfully compels for tl o transatlantic trade, The Amlcsn Hn In question Is struggling, at connldtr ablo pecuniary loss, to succeed, und to still further increase Its ton mi go under the Stars and Stripes In tho face of this concentrated and united opposi tion. In doing so It has been subjected to the unbridled nbuso of every free trader, every free-trade newspaper, every enemy of American shipping, nnd every defender of foreign ship ping, In the United States. "The deadly purpose of this opposi tion Is manifest, when we study tho statistics of tho United States for tho last fiscal year. Of tho total foreign trade of tho United States, 07.07 per cent. Is with Eui opt more thnn two thirds of our total foreign trade Is with Europe. Of our lmpotts from Europe, valued nt $333,8S4,63I, only $15,430,242, or 4.35 per cent., wns carried In American vessels, Of this, the ships of tho Ameri can line carried Imports valued nt $14, 813,033. Of our exports to Europe, valued nt $93G,G02,0M, but J27.CCS.076, or 1.30 per cent., wns carried In American vessels, the ships of the American line carrying exports to Europe valued at $25,077,749. The value of the Imports and exports carried In the ships of this line was $30,890,782, out of a total of $lGO,C12,20fi carried In all of tho Ameri can ships engaging In our entire for eign trade. The ships of tills Ameri can lino carried within a fraction of 2." per cent, of all of tho lmpoits and ex ports of tho United States that were can led in American ships. If, there fore, tliii four steamships of tho Amerl can line which rendered such excep tional and invaluable auxiliary naval service to our government during the war with Spain can be driven out of our trade with Europe, the proportion of our carrying under tho American Hag in our trade with Europe will dtop from the present 2.16 per cent, of tho total to but 0.2 (two-tenths of one) per cent.; that is to say, the foreign ships now monopolize 97,85 per cent, of our carrying with Europe, nnd are striv ing with all of the power and Inlluenco at their command to Increase their pro portion of our carrying to 90.8, leaving for the stray American vessel that will dare to venture Into that trade, the carrying of 0.2 of our imports and ex ports. By driving these ships out of our foreign trade, the proportion of the entire foreign trado of the United States carried in American vessels would ba reduced from .9 to Just 7 per cent,, leaving for foreign ships tho carrying of 93 per cent, of our imports and exports, nnd the estimated $200, 000,000 in freight earnings that are taken from the United States each year. No wonder the foreign steam ship lines, and all other fi lends of for eign shipping, nnd every enemy of American shipping concentrate their opposition on the Ameiican line the single heroic carrier of the American flag In our transatlantic trade." If we are to do our own shipping some company will have to organize to do It. The pending bill offcis no oppor tunities or advantages to the Interna tional Steamship company that are not open to any other organization of American brains and capital anxious to go Into competition with that company for a share of the American ocean com merce. It has not yet become a ctlmc for American shipbuilders to wish to do more business than thev are doing now; nor Is It a sin for the govern ment to help them to get this business If In so doing tho benefit Is distributed among all classes of the American people. Philadelphia is prepared to meet all vice presidential possibilities with cor diality. The Philadelphia Platform. IT IS ANNOUNCED in the Wash ington correspondence of the Philadelphia Press that at a din ner party given by Senator Ilan na on Saturday night to leading Re publicans representing every section of the countty, the subject of the Philadelphia platform was discussed nt length, and its genernl tenor prac tically agreed upon. The Press learns that It will be In substance ns fol lows: Flist, of course, President McKln ley's administration will be highly commended nnd the fact will bo em phasized that all the promises made by the party at St. Louis have either been redeemed or are In process of re demption, and the necessity will bo pointed out of continuing Mr. McKln lfy as president for another four years to complete this gieat work. The tre mendous prosperity of the country un der the Republican party administra tion will be contrasted with the bank rupt condition of affairs under the Democratic administration. Tho net balance of trado In favor of the United States In three years under Republi can rule has been $1,400,000,000. In tho hundred years previous to Mr. Mc Kinley's administration the net bal ance of trade was only $311,000,000. Such facts as those will be referred to as proof of what the Republican par ty has done for the country. The treaty or Paris will be approved as well as tho acts of congress In re gard to our now possessions nnd an expression of determination to tako no steps backwaid, but to carry out tho policy that the president and congress have decided upon. Tho policy of tho Republican party as to a protective tariff will bo reaffirmed and tho pro perou a condition of the country under the wise provisions of (the DIngley law pointed out. Reciprocity will ngaln be approved ns was done In tho St. Louis piatform. As to Cuba, It will be declared the purpose to carry out the promise to turn tho govern ment of that Island over to tho Cu bans as soon as It can be dono with safety. Reference will be mado to what tho country has dono for Cuba, and tho fact that tho Cubans now for th first tlmo In their history en Joy liberty. Attention will bo call ed to tho fact that the Insurrection In the Philippine Ulands has been stamped out with the exception of guerilla warfare, and that municipal governments are being organized as fast aa possible, and that the Philip pine commission Is now engaged In ex tending civil government to nil parts of tho archipelago where tho natives arc able to ndmlnlster It. Porto Rico will bo congratulated upon Its relief from the Spanish yoke and encour ngemnt hold out to the people of the Island to educate the Ignorant and equip themselves for citizens of tho United States. It Is pointed out that they now have nil the advantages practically that our own people pos sess. Hawaii will be congratulated on the peaceable annexation of the islands and the tremendous Increase In trado botween the United States and Hawaii that has resulted from annex ation. The financial plank will 'bo a strong one, showing that the party has re deemed Its pledges In that respect nnd pointing out that the finances of the government are on a sounder basis thnn ever before In Its history, nnd tht the country Is better nblo to with stand panics and financial storms than ut any time since the foundation of tho government. A reduction of tho war revenue taxes to as great ex tent ns the condition of the treasury will permit will be promised and a further promise made that the most burdensome and annoying taxes will be repealed at tho next session of con gress. The construction of the Nicar agua canal will be advocated as of the highest Importance to the Ameri can people. It will be declared that the foreign policy of the government should bo at all times firm, vigorous nnd dignified ns ha3 been the case un der the McKlnley administration. The Monroe doctrine will be reaffirmed and declared to bo In full effect, and It will be declared that European powers will not bo permitted on any pretext to extend their possessions on this hemisphere, a declaration which will probably be so worded as to leave no doubt that the United Stntes will not consont to any other European nation taking possession of the Danish West India islands. Tho liberal treatment of the veterans of the various wars of tho United States by congress wilt be pointed out and a declaration made In favor of the continuance of such generous treatment of them In every way. The policy of expansion will bo ad vocated ns In accord with the history of .the nation from its beginning and as a policy of necessity In providing new markets for our surplus products ns well ns In extending the Interests of civilization. There will bo a strong plank In favor of legislation to pro mote the merchant marino In the for eign truds for the purpose of extend ing our foreign trade and towsave to our people a part of the $200,000,000 now annually paid to foreigners for doing our ocean carrying trade. There will be a strong condemnation of In jurious combinations or "trusts" and a declaration mndo in favor of such legislation ns that proposed by the houso of representatives for the regu lation of these so-called trusts. In short, tho platform will bo a can did review of great results already achieved and a pledge of continued progress along the same wise lines. It will be a document worthy of tho Republican party. The report of the Free Kindergarten association, which appears in another column, Is commended to the attention of the community In which this most valuable work is conducted. The small assistance thus far given by the Board of Control to the purpose Is already showing Its valuable results. The city pays for the education of many chil dren who otherwise would bo on the streets learning the first lessons in vagrancy and lawlessness. The largo foreign population In this valley and tho tender years at which many of these children begin a career which ends In vlclousness, If not actual crime, make It Imperative to begin mission ary work early. The best missionary work which can be undertaken In this region 19 among the children, and It Is to the kindergarten we must look for such efforts. The Free Kindergarten association should be given unstinted praise for tho work it has accom plished. It should be understood that the city appropriation Is only given on the condition that the association con tinues to support the two kindergar tens which It has In charge. The ap.i proprlatlon from the school board ap plies to tho two others which have been mentioned. The police should lose no time in running down, If possible, the parties who made the attempt to blow up a house In Park Place the other night. The dynamiter, above all criminals, should be made to feel that he Is not safe In Scranton. It Is evident that the tea box por traits of the dowager empress of China do not give one much of an idea of the woman's energy and resources. Foreign co-operation In China will undoubtedly be carried on without a hitch until the time an Ives for staking out the real estate plots. Tho British troops In the Transvaal might as well be prepared to look for continued trouble until Oom Paul is safe In the patrol wagon.
