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.

MARY'S URGENT NEED.
" I have a bad breath and a coated tongue," .
writes Mary O'Connor to the Editor of the
Medical Advice Column of a New York daily
paper. Mary also notices a bad taste in her
mouth. What Mary requires is a Ripans Tabule. .
A single one will banish the bad taste in the
mouth, half a dozen will take the coating off the
tongue, arid then the bad breath will be gone.
