If the I'opocratlc howl against "mili
tarism" Is not an attempt to fetter the
government In the Philippines and In
China nnd tin encouragement to dls
Srder, what Is It?
In a Glass House.
Not brine rmnnl bv monopolist, or pluto
crat, or lioM down by pnlllli.il l"f, The
Times Is free In mice' its opinions on linnil
pr.ition, trust, labor unions or any other nut
ter tint pirtieularly allccls the l.iliurhijr people.
Srranton 'ltn rs.
IT MAY UK much given to "vole
lug Its opinion." but precious
little good its voice dues to the
honest vtorklugiiian In seatch of
employment through the establish
ment In our valley of new shops, mills
nnd factories. We have noticed that
the man or woman wishing to e.irn a
livelihood through toil thinks a good
deal more of the open mill than of the
open mouth filled a 1th demagogical
opinions nnd affected I'npull.stie abuse
of wealth. This Incessant rant and
chatter about "monopolists, plutocrats
nnd polltlcnl bosses" comes with o
peelally poor gtaee from the Ser.m
ton Times, whose editor Is known to
nil as a banker, an active spirit in .1
number of corporations, a would-be
dictator of Lackawanna Democratic
politic", and n man who misses few
chances to fatten his bulging pocket
book. If wealth Is n crime and con
nection with banks and coiporatlons a
disgrace, then the proprietor of the
Times Is the last man in rVranton In
a position to tlnow (stones.
"With nil of his alleged faults, It
miiht bo admitted that Mr. Ilrock
vwiy, late of the Kliulra reformatory,
realized that he was not superintend
ing a Sunday .school picnic.
A niserable Confession.
NO MATTKU what opposition
may exist In the ranks ot
the Democracy to free sil
ver, the platform on which
William Jennings Uryan Is a candi
date for the presidency distinctly de
clares: "We reailh-m and indorse the prin
ciples of the National Democratic
platform adopted at Chicago in 1800,
nnd we reiterate the demand of that
platform for nn American financial
system made by the American people
for themselves, which shall restore
nnd maintain a bimetallic price
level and, as part of such system, the
immediate jestoratlon of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver and gold
at the present legal ratio of 10-to-l,
without waiting for the aid or con
sent of any other nation."
The Scrantuu Times, whose editor
helped to adopt this plank, says it
does not mean anything, that the
party If successful will repudiate It,
that It was ndoplid merely as a sop
to Mr. Bryan, who would not have
been a candidate had It been omitted.
What assurance can he offer that this
Is truo7 Where are his guarantees?
Does self-confessed bad faith In the
making of a platform recommend to
credenco anything which the makers
of it may say?
We repeat our quest Inn of yesterday:
When before in the history of Ameri
can politics did a great political party
go before the people soliciting their
suffrage from the explicitly stated
basis that one of Its main platform
declarations, the only ono which pro
vrfketl any discussion or excited any
publlc'lnterest nt the time of its ndop
tlrjn, does not mean what It says and
wts not Intended to have any mean
ing at all?
Our tearful friends of the opposi
tion may still lmpp. Canada also now
has an nnti-linpcilnlUt party.
Militarism and Pensions.
FROM A PUUMSHKD synop
sis of thu foithcomlng report
of the commissioner of pen
sions It appears that since
July 1, a year ago, when tho number
of names on the roll was DPI, 510 there
lias been an lncreaso of 2,010 pension
ers. On July 1, 1000, the number of
claims Tondlng was 437,101, against
477,239 on July 1, 1699. During tho year
46,645 names were added to tho rolls
nnd 4.099 restored. Of these on tha
rolls July 1, 1899, 43,334 were dropped
becalTse of death, 909 by remarrlago ot
pensioners, and C.610 for other causes.
During the past six years 2C0.797 names
were dropped from the rolls, 193,014 be
cause of deaths, Tho number dropped
this yonr because of death Is 14,200 less
than jstlmaqd.-
In tho current.dlscusslon of political
tqplcs "militarism" Is, assailed because
of. Its cost and pensions aro pointed
pu) as tho most expensive and, bjjrden-
some ot the lecncles of war. That
tlicy aro expensive In the aggregate Ij
umlcnlablo, but that they are butden
somo Is not established. No citizen Is
conscious of any Increase of taxes be
cause of the pensions growing out o
the war with Spain. Compared with
the pension list arising from the Civil
war the pensions originating within
the past two years arc so small as to
be- Imperceptible from the standpoint
of the ordinary citizen and the new
names entered do not approximate the
lapses of the old.
This, of course, would not warrant
the solicitation of war for the fun of
tin thing nor excuse Irregularities In
the disbursement of pension funds,
but It does away with any possible
merit In the Democrntlo argument.
For even the opponents of "militar
ism" admit the Justice of pensioning
the Injured surviving soldleis or the
dependents of soldiers killed while In
nctlve and loyal service. In the same
breath that they attack the Ide.i of
the United States having a trained
regular at my adequate to Its needs
they condemn the administration for
not having fallen out with Kngland
because of the Itoers and take to them
selves the credit for having forced the
country Into the war with Spain, at
the cost of which they aro now
grumbling. In other wotds, they ar"
simply llndlng fault for partisan effect.
Speaking of the New Yoik Journal's
ado concerning the cost of the war de
partment this year, an ado promptly
re-echoed by the local mouthpiece of
Hryanlsm, the Chicago Times-Herald
tenmrks: "More than half ot the $111,
2L'i),(K)5.ri5 appioprlatcd for the current
llsenl year can be charged to the un
provoked nnd unnecessary conlllet In
the Philippines, where the Insurgents
are encouraged and kept in the Held
by the politicians and party who are
yelling 'Imperialism' and 'Militarism
at home."
Republican League of Clubs.
T
Hi: ANNUAL convention of
tne Pennsylvania league of
Republican clubs will be
held In Philadelphia on
Monday and Tuesday, Sept. 17 and is.
i)n the evening of Sept. 17 a mass
meeting will be held In tho Academy
of Music which will be addressed by
Colonel linosevelt, Senator Depew nnd
Hopiesentntlve Dolllver. On the even
ing of Sept. IS the Philadelphia clubs
will give a banquet to the delegates at
Helmnnt Mansion. The convention will
take action on three proposed amend
ments, ono providing for biennial In
stead of annual conventions, one abol
ishing the levying of assessments on
clubs and one providing that the
league shall not endorse any candidate'
for olllcp who is not regularly nomi
nated by a Republican convention,
A tevlvnl of Interest In Republican
club woik Is a probable foatute of the
pending campaign. As President Ham
ilton of the National league of clubs
points out In a cut rent aitlele, "such
an organization is beneficial by reason
of the fact that It uffoids an oppor
tunity for tho rank nnd file of the
party nnd for the business men to as
sociate themselves together and glvo
effect to their convictions upon politi
cal questions riutslde and Independent
of the question of patronage or dicta
tion of political managers. In such nn
organization men who do not expect
or aspire to official place or power for
personal gain can nnd do find oppor
tunity to advance tho Interests and
promote the principles which seem to
them best suited for the welfare of tha
country: and they do this without fear
or favor or hope of fee or reward. It
Is unquestionably true that the poli
tics of the country would be cleaner,
nnd the party management would be
conducted upon a higher plane in pro.
portion as the educated and reputable
citizens, high and low, rich nnd poor,
nttend caucuses and conventions, and
participate In the activities of cam
paigns as club members or otherwise."
The political club has come to stay
as a feature of American politics, and
ns President Hamilton further points
out, "while the railroads, telegraph and
telephone, unheard of but a few cam
paigns ago, now reach almost every
little hamlet, and nearly every voter
reads one or more newspapers, the
faei temalns that the average citizen
enjoys hearing the Issues of the hour
Intelligently discussed by an enter
tainlng speaker. He likes also to
know personally the men of whom ho
reads, and takes a just pride In the
fact that men prominent In the busi
ness and political world are among his
acquaintances, and have been the
guests of his own political club. The
political club gives him these oppor
tunities. It organizes meetings through
tho concerted efforts of its members,
nnd secures ppeakets of note to at
tend and address tho meetings nnd
form the acquaintance of those In at
tendance. The political club serves,
too, as an educator. The life and drum
parade In the little village, prelimin
ary to the political meeting, quickens
the pulse of the boy, makes the young
man realize be has a political duty
to perform and engenders In him a
desire to study the Important political
problems of the hour, lu order that ho
may assist in their proper solution.
The semlsocla! clubs In the largo cities
are, unquestionably, desirable and
helpful to thu party whosu principles
they uphold; so, too, aro clubs which
are permanent In their methods of or
ganization, and which are organized
by counties and states Into national
associations; they are potent political
factors, and worthy of the considera
tion and support of political parties."
Tho Pennsylvania league this year
should recognize these truths and
avail Itself of tho opportunity to
widen nnd enlarge.
In (spite of tho efforts of yellow
Democratic orceins to convince the
people that a deadly feudi exists
anions tho Republican leaders, It Is
noticed that Governor lloosevelt,
Senator Hanna nnd their associates
continue to wreak as they pass by.
New Orleans Is In danger of another
disturbance over tho settlement of the
question ns to who killed Robert
Charles ,tho negro desperado. The re
ward of JCOO offered for tha disposal
of Charles Is claimed by twomen, and
the cltlzenB who fired forty-six otlier
bullets Into the desperado's body are
also liable to claim recognition. It !
to be hoped that this matter may ha
settled without a renewal of the hos
tilities characteristic of New Orleans.
All close observers nbout the coun
try nro Impressed by the disinclina
tion of the average man to talk poll
tics this year. The inn of argument
and the straw vote collector seem to
havo entltcly disappeared and It Is
with dllllculty that the most enthus
iastic exponent of the theory that the
country is going to the dogs can pro
voke even a contradiction. The peoplij
have settled down to the conviction,
that the election of Mr. McKlnley Is
nssured and the majority of those
of Uryan. faith only talk occasionally
for the sake of keeping up appear
ances. Republicans should not, how
ever, bo caught napping.
Princess Troubetskay.fortnerly Ame
llo Ulvers, the authoress, Is again
suffering fiom nervous prustiatlon
brought on by her last novel. People
who have kept track of the literary
efforts of the pilnccss will not be sur
ptlsed. The Alaska boundaiy nnd thu in
demnity due the United States fiom
the Sultan of Turkey are subjects tint
appear to have passed entltcly out of
the minds of most of the heavy cdl
toilul writct s.
A good many political nnd other
agltatois these days seem to be un
able to draw the line between free
speech and treasonable yawp.
The Seventy-first regiment contro
versy, which has been revived In New
Yoik. bids fair to become as warm as
the affair nt San Juan Hill.
The messenger boy who found
President Kruger Is ubout duo for a
magazine article.
POLITICAL NOTES.

The man with a. grievance and a sense of per
sonal wrong Is unduly nuimrous. Not cun so
Brcit a statcxmin as Oneril Harrison is proof
against the gnawing effects of dlsapolnluient.
To the world he Is dumb, but as reflected in his
followers and personal friends It takes the (orm
of criticism of MeKinley 1 ec.uise he falls so (it
short of the standard that would have been set
by the great lloosler bad he been in the white
house. The gilet Is that the country should
haip suffered so on account ot the while house
shortcomings." The Harrison element in Indi
ana were a Urals kickers, but they will fall
In line before election day.
A correspondent of the Pun effectively analyzes
the weaknesses of the Democratic position with
reference to the Philippines. He writes: "The
only government we could gie the l'Ulplnos
must be republican In form. The Democratic
(latcsmcn do not pretend to tell us what would
happen in case the l'lliplnos should reject a re
publican government. As a matter o( fact,
Aguinaldo proclaimed himself president of the
1'illpino republic yet he was a virtual dicta
tor, llepubllcj do not haxe their rulirs chosen
In that way. Then, if the government we of
fered did not suit their notions, we should be
compelled to foice it on them and tills would do
away with the theory ot the 'consent of the
governed.' In rcgild to independence, should
we turn over nil the Islands to the Tagal tribe?
What would the other tribes sav to that? Are
they entitled to no consideration? The third
idei mentioned Is to give them protection from
foreign intcrfennce. It does not seem prob
able that our people wisii to return to a policy
that was pursued for jcars with Hawaii. Wc
were compelled to act the part of a clog In the
manger. We gave notice to other nations tint
Hawaii must be let alone; that the islands

Balance Sheet Contrasting National Conditions Under Dem
ocratic and Under Republican Administration.
The last Democratic administration wrought disaster and distress. McKlnley, Protection and
the (ieibl Standard restored confidence and built up on the ruins. Will the voter give up good
times for bid ones? Will he exchange piosperlty (or need? Surely not, If he leads the moid
of tle past fniir jears in comparison with the condition of the country at tho end of lite Cleveland
regime, it is a staitllng contrast, and the lis on which it teached Is one, that must appeal to
eveiy eltlrcn who prefers certain pieisrcilt)' to probable idveislly.

CHIEF OF THE BOXERS.
BLAINE ON CARL SCHURZ.
I'rom "Tucnl.v Years In Congress."
Tlic h ss of Mr. Sehune'it popularitv -a popu
liril.v that was vri) inarkid in I lie i-.nlii-r pe
rind of his enner-is due in part to eerliin
iin-te.id.v and ciratle tendencies, home of whlili
are in strong conlrast with e harncti rlstli.s that
are lerngnl'eil ns belonging in an especial ele
glee lei his lace. Through all the centuries
slnee Ineltus drew- his vivid picture of the habits
and m iiiucrs of Ihe (lerm.tis, their attachment,
it might almost be called their pas-Inn, tor
heiine, has been a marked and merltoriou ) fc.it
lire of tlirlr character. To I'.ithciland first, and
t tic fi to whatever country fate or fortune may
draw them, their deotlnn Is proverbial. This
admirable trait seems altogether wanting In Mr.
Schurr. When lie left Ormany he lived for
three jcars in otlier countries of Kurope first In
Suitmland, then In Prance, thou In I'.nilaiid.
In Is.'i2 he came to Ameiiia and resided first
In l'ennsvli.mli, then In W'inconsln, Hun in Mich
igan, tin ii in Missouri, and then In New York.
He his not become rnotcd nnd grounded any
where; has never established a hnitte; is not
Identified with any commiinitj J Is not inter
woven with the Interests of any locality or of
nny clas.s; has no fixed relallim to church or
state, to professional, political, or social life,
Ins acquired none of thit companionship and
confidence which unite old neighbors in the
closest tics, and give to friendship its fullest
ilevelnpnu'iil. Its most grni ions attilbutcs.
'Ihe sime unsteadiness has entered as a strik
ing feature In the public enicer of Mr. Scliurr.
The pirty he upheld jeslenlay met with the
bitteicst denunciation the day before, and to
morrow he will suppoit the political organisa
tion of whose liiciisures he is the mot merciless
censor tod.iv. He boasts himsedf incapable of
attachment tei party, and in that respect radi
cally differs from the gri-at body of his American
fellow-citlrins. He cannot even comprehend
1 1 i.i t cx.ltod sentiment of honorable association
In public life which holds together successive
geneiallnns of men a sentiment which In the
I'niti'd Males ciuse-s the Demoir.it to reverence
the inemoiy of JefTerson and Jackson and Doug
lis, which causes his opponent to gloiy In the
achievements of Hamilton and Clay and Lincoln;
a sentiment which in Knglind his bound the
Whigs in a cnnimnn faith and cninmon glory,
from W.ilpole to (Jlaelstone, and their more con
servative rivals in a creed of Injatly whose
disciples, frnm Uolingbrokc to ticaconsfield. In
clude many of the coldest ot liiilish patriots.
l'or these paity as-ociitinns, to wlmsp Influ
ence, under the just icsti.iuit of intelligent pi
Iriotlsin, the wlset legislation is ehie, Mr.
f-churz has neither approbation nor appipe'.atiem.
He aspiies to the title of "Independent," and
has described his own position as that of a
nun sitting on a (ence, with dean boots,
v.ntihlng carefully which way lie nny leap to
keep out of the mud. A erltie might, without
carping, suggest that it Is the duty of an earn
est man to disregard the bespattering which
fidelity to principle often Incurs, and that a
beaten path to a safe place for one's Keif is not
an Inspiring or worthy subject of statctmanship.
.
DEFINITIONS.
l'rom the Ne'V York Sun.
l'or the benefit of readers of Democratic plat
forms, speeches and newspapers, these defini
tions arc given:
"Plutocrat," a rich Itepublican.
"Trusts," an Imaginary monopoly owned by
Hepttblieans exclusively.
"Imperialism," a kicking up o( dust to hide
Tree Silver.
K
Partlculav Interest centers around
our 20 Thrte-PIece Dedroom Suites.
And It Is not dldlcult to decide why.
There Is something about each piece
xvhlch catches the eye and Invites a
better acquaintance. Then construc
tion and finish aro observed and com
parisons made. Tho decision generally
Is that these aro better In every way
than anytb'.ig ever offered at tho vVIca.

A literary man, u?eJ to the niceties of expression aaJ (onel also of the
pleasures of the table, In speaking of
RBPAfflS TABULE3
says: "I couldn't recommend ttits remedy as heartily ns I elo if I didn't
believe in it. I am not much of a medicine t.iker, I am opposed to
medicine, on principle. There ought to be no need of medicine just
as there ought to be no poverty but there 11. If people lived riRlit
, they would be well. Sunshine, air, exercise, fun, good fod plenty and
inot too much arc the best medicines, the natural ones; bul men are tied
- to their desks, and women to their home cares, and both arc tied to f.ish-
!on. Civilized existence is artificial and needs artificial regulators, I
recommend HiiiatisTab'tlet and take them myself. I know they arc both
, harmless and ellectl.e. (I know what they are taade of.) They are the
' best remedy I know ninthing about for headaches, or indigestion, or
I biliousness, or any sort of sluggishness In the system, And they are in
the handiest possible shape to carry in the pocket."
