WITH TUB returns now practically complete, It Is apparent that Mr. Connell wilt have near ly two votes to Mr. Spencer's one. It Is at once a flattering tribute and a hlgnllleuiit rebuke. It Is a tribute to n man whoso career covering nearly half ai century In this community lias been an illus tration of steady giovvth upon sound principles, both in the business ac tivities with which ho has been so largely Identified and In the Innumer able other relations which he has sus tained to the benefit of thousands of the people around and nbout him. Knvy loves a shining mark and do ti action Is often vltulent In propor tion to merit. It has been so at least with William Connell. Kow men have been more recklessly hounded; seldom has the vituperation of malice gone to more Indecent extremes In trying to besmirch where blackmail would not w ork. The result of Monday's primaries Is a rebuke to this Insane defamation nnd n notice ftom the people that they ate sick of it. Under other circum stances Mr. Spencer'r candidacy mlgnt have fared much better. He was fteo to promote It personally throughout tho county; ho had the means and tho vigor to make his can didacy felt; and his friends wore nu merous and active. Hut back of his candidacy was the shadow of a foul publication leeklng with venom and lllthinefcs. The handicap was too much. It bore down his cause In de feat. In the circumstance Is a lesson worthy of widespread heed. Abuse never yet helped the cause employing It. Trying to tear one man down does not lift another man up. If persisted In It reacts with fatal effect. Aside ftom its personal aspects, the renomlnatlon of the present congress man Is it logical result of his faithful nnd effective service, and in keeping with tho general Intent to let tho in cumbent administration carry out Its uncompleted woik. The decision Is leasonable and Just; and It supplies a new proof of the sttength of popu lar government. Tho Gold Democrats hesitate a'bout organizing for fear that their party may be regarded as a political gold brick. Thug Politics in Philadelphia. A DISPATCH from Philadel phia, published In the Washington Post of yoster day, it journal which is trying hard to manufacture campaign capital out of the postal irregularities in Cuba, sets forth the lollowlng in formation: In view of tho postal frauds in Cub.i j number of tho llepubliiaii cluM of this city of the t it wart or 7ujy ikthi.isIoii have fcUrtcd In on a iribadc which has for its object tho outline ut Charles Emory Bmltli from l'lCoiJent McKlnlrj'H rabinet. While all of tho local lK-puhlUau lent il deny that they are identified with the move ment It Is veil umloi.-tooil that it was not in augurated spontai lomly ly tho ilubs them selves, but that it has behind it at least tho tatUt consent and Indorsement of the nun wlm run the city and statu organisations of the p-iit. Tho ball was started rolling tonight ut a jneetlng of tho Harry It. Wileley llepubliiaii club, of the Thlrtj-seeoiiel ward, of vvhleh Will iam r,Glfrr is prexidem, ami which huattn of a iiu'inliiliip of iW, jll aititc party woikerJ In their ailoui dutiwi dmtilcK Mr. Wlldov, u hose "name1 the club bills. Is a elei.uty shiritf, and prolnlndit In tho hudcnriiip of Ids paity in the Tvvent.v-Kvcnlh executive ilUliiit. 'Ihe cluli at tonight' ineetinif udopttd u wrltu of resolu tion, the preamble to whlih .eis forth that "On aciount of the franls recently exposed in the uostal rlro In tho l.laiiel of t'uha, it Is appaient that tho bead of the poslofHio depart ment at Washington cannot capo fioni Hie e. Fponslblllty for tli namlal vvlileli tonTirurntly .attichm to the federul administration." The resolutions tall upon t'haihs Kmorj Smith to Resign tho otlke of postmaster genual mi the ground that tho department eiver vvhleh liu pre tides bad been iucomp(teutl.i administered, and tuit his retention in office would accentuate t lie waudal nnd bring further repioach upon the lie publican party of tho nation. In the event of Mr. Smith refusing or neglect. Jng to jlcld up his olllee, President McKinley Is itiiirfctocl by the icsolutlon to remove blni wm. rnarlly. "In view of tho fact that (Jencral Al ger wai obliged to give up the portfolio of Dec refary of war because of the bcandals growing out of tho war with Spain," it Is contended that tho rule that pre ailed In the cae of Alger ehall bo enforced In the case of Smith, and that the postmaster general will lx held accountable by the country at largo for tho outrageous con dition of strain in the postal scrvlco in Cuba, just as surely ai was General Alger made re sponsible for the shortcomings of the war of. flcn According to the programme outlined by the various ltepubllcan managers, th YViliVy flub resolutions are to be adopted by a number o similar organizations during the present week, including the Union ltepubllcan club, 800 mem bers; Penrose ltepubllcan club, 700 members; 'he William It. Leeds association, 1,000 members; first Ward ltepubllcan club, 1,800 members, and other ward clubs, embracing )u all more than 110,000 members. Tho significance of tho foregoing Is apparent to all .who are aware that ono of Its motives Is to becloud the situation with a view to obstructing tho nomination of Mr. Smith at Phil adelphia next week for vice president. If tho ward heelers of Philadelphia's slum dlsttlcts did not fear that Mr. Smith might bo nominated; In fnct, If they were not nltcady convinced that his nomination, In spite of newspaper mention of other candidacies, Is ex tremely probable, they would not pre sume to Instruct tho president of the United States In tils olllclal duty. Their opposition will, of course, In crease the popular esteem In which the postmaster general Is held and renew public nttentlcn to the fact that of tho various Republicans mentioned fcr vice presidential tumors ho. Is tho peer of all. It would take Just such a show of thug hands as Is Indicated In the Post article to make fair-minded Republi cans throughout the country Insist upon Mr. Smith's nomination as nn act of justice to the McKinley admin istration, which, over Mr. Smith's shouldots, Is tho real target of attack. St. Louis Is now reaping the results of electing a mayor who wanted to "stand in" with everybody. The Ticket as a Whole. T -llB PRESENCE on ono ticket of thtee men wno nave men us widely at variance In the past as have Messrs. Con nell, Reranton nnd Fellows illustrates tho uncertainties of politics nnd also reflects the obvious desire of tho party masses that past feuds should be har monized. This manifest expression of tho popular will has the force of a command and will doubtless be re spected accordingly. No combinations were formed. Each candidate worked for himself alone. The outcome was wholly the work of parly sentiment ns directly registered nt the polls, Under these circumstances loyalty to purty requires Its cordlnl acceptance by Republicans throughout the county. What Is true as to these three can didates, who have freely opposed each other In the past, Is equally true of the other successful aspirants. Their nomination comes directly from the voters, after a contest open to nit. Such a situation does not call for soreness or apathy on the part of t.io competitors that lost. They have the consciousness that thev made n gallant fight nnd they have the future to look to for recompense. The public will view with favor a loyal acquie scence In Its reglsteied desire and visit with displeasure insubordination or political disloyalty. This Is presidential ytarwwhen Re publicanism Is summoned to sink per sonal feeling in party fealty. Tho call to the party for unwavetlng support of Republican principles Is also a call for unconditional faithfulness to Re publican candidates. Disaffection can not exist at any point without en dangering the party Intel ests through out. Remembrance of this fact during tho period of reaction following the Intensity of the canvass for tho nom inations will ptomote Ictory In No vember nnd depilvo the enemy of Its expected encourage ment resulting from anticipated Republican disaffec tion. m The Chinese emperor evidently be lieves In the efUcacy of powers behind the tin one. The Vote of fir. Sturges. PERHAPS AS Interesting a part of the primary election leturns ns any Is tho size and distribution of the vote for Mr. Sturges. With the field against him, divided as it was, his nomination by a large plurality was assured; the signltlcanco In his vote is Its location. I!y reference to tho tnblc it will be perceived that while ho ran well, as was to be expected. In districts dom inated by what politicians speak of ns the "better element," his strength In other districts wus In excess of expec tations. Among many of tho wards and dls tiicts wheio illicit liquor selling abounds nnd where the professional politicians ate accustomed to elec tioneer In a mnnner calculated to cre ate a poor opinion ns to the sanctity of tho suffrage, Mr. Sturges" vote Is huge and shows that even among pat rons and proprietors of speakeasies and men accustomed to nn atmosphere of lawbronklng there are many who respect the principles for which Mr. s'.turges stood nnd admire his mnnner of fighting for them. This fact constitutes the great hope of i-"foim In our community. Reform Is something that cannot be forced by the upper strata of society down upon the lower. It has to generate nt tho bottom and grow up, Tho vote for Sturges shows that however much men may err and wander from the paths of llghteousness they have an Instinctive respect for tho courts of Justice and a nntural Inclination fo approve and support fair and open methods. Fiom this as a starting point great Improve ment Is possible. In the South African campaign Lord Kitchener, the hero of tho Soudan, Is constantly lemlnded that in the matter of commanders there are others. The Local Revenue Problem. FOR A NUMUBR of years the quasi. public corporations of Scranton such as tho tele phono company, the electric light companies, the water company and the street railway company, cor porations that do business through tho Brace of tho city as represented In special franchises, have enjoyed what many bellevo to bo lower taxa tion upon their special privileges than la customary In well regulated cities, while during most of this time, cer tainly during the last few years, tho city itself has been notoriously hard up; necessary public Improvements huvo had to be postponed; unpaid judgments against the city have ac cumulated, and tho general Utax bur den as felt by tho ordinary owner of Improved real estate has grown heavier year by year. Two things In our city arc abso lutely necessary and may as well be faced. Thero must bo a more econ omical and judicious use of the reve nues already, provided; nnd titer must bo more revenue. The first of these necessities appears to have been firmly taken in hand by the Municipal league judging from the stnrt which It has made toward checking leaks and wastes and more especially toward giving the public an Incentive to de mand a higher order of olllclal con science In the conduct of city nfTalts. The likelihood Is that In the near fu ture greater care will be taken by our city authorities In working out prob lems of economy In the public business than has been taken by the majority of them In the recent past. This Is not going to happen nil In ono duy. It will take time rrd work to get the standard of economy lifted tip and nailed up, but It can be done and must be done at no distant day it Scranton's future Is to bo saved. Tho second problem of more revenue requires to be solvd In order that the city can put on some of the more mod ern habiliments of a city, such as park Improvements, more and better streets nnd street conveniences, n mote sys temntjc collection and disposal of city refuse, more thoroughly organized sanitation, an Improved protection against lire nnd crime nnd a host of smaller details Incidental to the devel opment of a progressing municipality. This wilt require more revenue, nnd whete Is more revenue to como from? Nothing more from tho mass of peo ple directly In the form of an Increased tax levy, save as they shall them selves authorize by regular election, for the city's limit of Indebtedness has been reached. Very little more In tho form of petty licenses nnd fines, for these are pretty numerous already. The one remaining largo source of ad ditional lecal revenue Is the corpora tions that uo the public thorough fares. It Is therefore pertinent to In quire what would be the effect if tho taxation of these corporations should be Increased as proposed In the pend ing Hiense oidlnance. .'Jterature for the Army. MENTION' WAS MADE on this page some time ngo of the need of a well equipped public library In Manila, properly supplied with books and magazines for the use of our sol diers In the Philippines, tho great ma jority of whom have nothing In the way of literature to occupy their leis ure hours; and of the effort which is being made by the Woman's Army nnd Navy league, an organization of the wives of tho American soldiers and sailors, to supply this need. The president of tho league, Mrs. J. C. Kelton, has since favored us with a circular explaining the enterprise more fully and Including an Interesting letter on tho subject from Mrs. C. R. Oreenleaf, the chief Manila patron and promotor of the library for soldiers. Mrs. Greenleaf writes: "We need financial aid now as well as books, for as you know General Otis did not feel he could give me a building or rooms for this purpose nnd so I was forced to rent at a high rate and also to meet tho salary of our able and conscientious librarian, Mrs. Eg bert, her assistant and all the other expenses incident to such a work. I greatly hope the women of America will take up this work, which Is In tended as a memorial to nil our dead who have given their lives for their country's cause, and should therefore be a monument of which our country should be proud. So far, after such struggles I hope never to meet again, our rooms are opened with nbout four thousand volumes on our shelves, many of the books but poorly bound, soiled nnd worn, but some are well worthy or being placed as a nucleus of future greatness. Our reading room.with mag azines and about ten papers sent regu laily from the states, are well pa tronized, and from thirty to forty offi cers and men arc dally enjoying tho privilege of quiet reading. To this room we nsk the contribution of papers from every city and a copy of alt the leading journals from the United States. "Wo have distributed over twenty thousand magazines and numberless papers to the troops In tho field and hospitals, also about six hundred paper covered novels. Grateful letters and appeals for more como by every mall. This work, of course, needs money and while books are most acceptable, money Is more needed until we get thoroughly established, I put a hill before congress, but so far have heard nothing from It, tho sum asked was probably too small to appeal to thorn only live thousand dollars but It would moan much to us here, for un less aid comes soon I cannot keep the library open. Mostw of tho ofllcers In the Philippines, If married, nro as you know, supporting two establishments; the family at homo or here and tho ofllcer in tho field, hence we cannot look for much aid from them and sure ly those who stay at home ought to lie willing to nfford this recreation of mind to those who have the hardships of war In a foreign country. The citi zens, mostly foreigners, we will not nsk to help America place a memorial for American heroes, so unless our country supports us, wo must acknowl edge to failure. I think I can with great economy, keeps thinks going for a couple of months or three at tho greatest, but not longer, but my faith Is strong thnt ere then help will come. At least I have tho satisfaction of knowing thnt I have tried to do a work that I bellevo is more appreciated than almost any that has been done." Contributions should bo made pay able to "Tteasurer Memorial Llbrar" Fund" and forwarded to Mrs. Marshall I. Ludlngton, Vice-President Woman's At my and Navy League, Quartermas ter General, War Department, Wash ington, D. C. Foreign missionaries In China will doubtless nil receive protection In the present' crisis, but what of the unfor tunate Chinese Christians who are be ing murdered right and left by the bloodthirsty Itoxers? Llttlo thought seems to have been bestowed upon the people of the land of discontent who have been persuaded Into embracing Christianity In tho hopo that their con ditions would be Improved. How many Americans could bo Induced to adopt a strnngo creed under like circumstances?
