If tltla latter clause Is meant ns an Insinuation that the columns of The Tribune have boon hired by corpora tions to Influence legislative bodies In the city or anywhere else, it is a con temptlble He and the man who makes it ought to bo In the penitentiary. Prnlso from Sir Hubert. AT A TIME when Secretary of State John Hay Is 111 from the tremendous strain which ho has undergone during the past few months and when cackling organs of Populism like the Scranton Times are trying, fortunately without avail, to discredit what he has done and humlltato the country before the world It does ono good to read the manly words of the Democratic party's ablest and noblest representative In the United States senate, Hon. John T. Morgan, of Alabama, a man per haps without a superior in intimate nowledce of American foreign rela tions. Staunch partisan though he is, Senator Morgan's Americanism Is broader than any party and he refuses to be an accessory to the wanton be draggling of American diplomatic prestige abroad as an incident to demagogy at home. He was In Washington the other day to bo exact, on Saturday of last week and to Major Carson, represent ing the Philadelphia Ledger, he gave his views of current problems, more especially the Chinese difficulty. This ho regards ns very intricate, so far as the United States Is concerned. He fears war with China cannot be avoid ed, especially on the part of Uussla and Germany. Ho thinks the reported utterances of Emperor "William Indi cate a determination on the part of that sovereign to wage war. Whether or not the United States will be In volved Is a problem. Senator Morgan approves the action of Secretary Hay throughout the controversy, and says Mr. Hay's course has been wise and statesmanlike, nnd is beyond criti cism. "Ho has reflected credit in a remarkable manner on this govern ment abroad," said Senator Morgan, "and has excelled the achievements of the foreign chancelleries." Thl3 frank and generous acknowl edgment by the dean of the Demo cratic senators represented on the for eign relations committee will offset a large quantity of vapid and Ignorant criticism on the part of small-callbred organ grinders whose sole Idea of political discussion seemingly is to say as contemptible things as possible of the administration in power. United Slates In that It Impairs "the obligation of contracts," nnd "Is an at tempt to regulate commerce iituong the sovornl states." Irt Its Judgement upon these points the Su perior court, nftor citing more than a score of precedents tending to nulli fy the claim of conflict between tb? act of May C, 1SG3, and the United States constitution, proceeds: The act does not impair "the obligation of contract'," since the contracts alleged to be af fected by the act bad no existence until nearly forty ears alter its passage. The ait does not lolale the lonstltutlonal prntHoti respecting Intirstate commerce. It Is not an attempt to make a rule iitTc-ctlng Intin state innitiurcc. It Is a pollie remil.it Inn nlft-iling the person and conduct of thitc attempting to do e-ertnlii nits which liato been toibhldin under pctulty. The act is not In lolatleui of the protl-lons of the Eutiitcciilh nincndrmut. 'Wither the amend rut lit, broad as it is, nor any other amcndimnt, uas designed to intiift ie with the power of the state, sometimes tinmd the ikiIUs power, In prerlbo regulation to ptomote the health, peace, morals, ('location, and pood order of the people;" lljrblir . (nntmlb). Ill II. 8., 27. The act of lsu dois not abridge any privilege or right seiuied to citizen, eltlur by the con st Hut km ol the lulled Main or by that of the commonwealth; nor does it iliprhc any of plop crty without due prouss ot law. It dun not deprive the hohhr of .1 railroad tliket ol the unused portion of it. It ugulates the silo and requires the company issuing to nny. The regu lation may, in some taes, nult In the bolder milting les than would be paid by on Inell lltluil bujer. On the cither band, the act gives to the holder of an nh liable, iimhcM portion of a ticket a customer in the company Issuing It. The purchaser of a railroad ticket takes it subject to such roisonablo lestrlctlons as the law may Impose upon the public business ot the carrier. The purpose of the act is to pre vent fraud. It is recited in the preamble that, "vhcrias, numerous frauds Imo been practiced upon unsuspecting travelers by means of the sale, by unauthorized persons, of railway and other ticket." The appellant is not 111 the position of ono innocently selling nn unusued portion of n tickrt bought In good faith, lie is confessedly conducting n business at vvlili.li the act of assembly dircitly strikes, nnd which the legislature has said is prolllle of friudulcnt re sults. Hie appellant is ijot deprived ot any property of which he is honestly the owner, nor Is be prevented Irom prosecuting a business ot a kind rccognlred by the hvv as respectable. 'Ihc privileges and immunities protected b the con stitution are subject to such restraints as the government tiny prcscrlbo tor tho general good ot tho whole people. The appellant has, theie fore, no right to complain ot the restriction put upon his business, which his been stlgmatlrcd as conducive to fraudulent acts and practices. The Interest of tho traveling public, considered from the standpoint of Its general and ultimate welfare, Is op posed to tho business of ticket scalp ing Just ns it Is opposed to cut rate's that have In the long mil to bo made good by gouging Peter to pay Paul. The straightforward policy of charg ing a far price for good set-Vice and not disci Imlnatlng between patrons Is by all odds the best for all con cerned. This Is The Tribune's policy in the matter of advertising. Its rates are flat rates open to all without shading or special concessions, and what Is good policy In one business Is certainly good policy In other busi nesses, railroads Included. Ilefore Genernl Chaffee's big guns arrive within range of Pokln's sacred wall, It Is believed that China will emulate tho example of tho raccoon mentioned In the reminiscences of the late Colonel Crockett. 1 An Impartial View. -yili: VIEWS of a well-informed neutial upon a matter In controversy are always Interesting and more often Recent developments have demon strated that LI Hung Chang is no longer entitled to have his first name Vronounced "l.ee." Protection for Travelers. AJUD int bee JUDICIAL ruling which Is of iterest to all travelers has been made by tho Superior court in Commonwealth vs. Keary, Involving the constitutionality of tho act of May 6, 1863, i emulating tho sale of railway tickets and re quiring railway companies to redeem unused portions of tickets. This act, directed primarily against the "scalp- Ipg" of tickets, which In ,Jy turn is Ifjrgely founded on fraudulent,,j;epre jentntlon, was at tho same time' a, pro tection of tho rights cithe' honest ileket purchaser, assuring him of tlifr redemption at fair rates tfuSjll parts o'f a ticket for which ho may have paid out money and beeririunaule tej ISC. i ,; "j, The defendant In this cfipo, it- Ap pears from the record, was 'amPUls burg ticket "scalper" who'"fo''Thto the tolls of the law, was convicted In the Allegheny county quarter ses sion, and took an appeal, whose chief contentions were that the act under When 'he was convicted Is In violation if (lie fourteenth nmendment of the JeiiBtiTuflein of tho United States, vrhlcit'tfeclares that "No state shall rriatfe"6r enforce any law which shall abridge tho privileges or Immunities ol the, citizens of the United States, nor .shll any- state deprlvo nny per son of life, liberty, or property wlth Kt alue- process of law, nor deny to iRtydnerson within Its Jurisdiction the eTjual protection of the laws;" that It by In derogation of tho rights "of en Jp'ylng and defending life and liberty, (if acquiring, possessing, and protect ing property and reputation, and of pursuing' tbejrqwn happjnqss," de clared by tlletutc constitution to be "Inherent and indefeasible:" and that if violates the constitution of the accurate than ate tho views of uncon sciously biased partisans. This l.e especially true In politics and In tef erenco to political prospects. Ono who has no Interest at stake Is gfnotally a safer prophet than one whoso hopes are father to his thoughts. We notice in tho Toronto Globe a leading article headed "Who Shall lie the Next Pies ldent?" which has these nit-iits, and we proceed to quote It: "It will," says the Globe, "make no serious difference to Canada which party wins in the coming presidential election. The past changes of tho party In power nt Washington have made no material change) in the rela tions of our country nnd the United States. Vet, owing to our proximity to tho great republic to the south ot us and the many thlngn we have In common, It Is natural that our people bhould take a deep Interest In tho political and social events which take place among our neighbors. The ques tion of the hour Is, Who shall bo tho next president, McKlnley or Bryan? The campaign has fairly opened. Tho newspapers we receive from the south by every mall bring echoes of the political cannonade of contending par ties. As Canadians we have tho nd vtntatjo of being In a position to pass a more impartial judgment on the facts in evidence than if It were a party contest in our own country. In attempting to forecast the result one should not bo Influenced by tho confident assertions and predictions In the campaign literature of the par tics. These statements are meant to Influence tho class of electors who nro disposed to vote for what they think will be tho winning side. "It must be admitted thnt the Re publicans have severnl Important ad vantages which will make their de feat very diflicult. They have a defi nite policy on nearly nil public eiues tlons, which reemlres neither nmblg ulty nor double-dealing. In contradic tion of llryan's confident assertions that commercial nnd general strin gency would prcvnil unless his silver policy was adopted, tho years of Re publican rule have been years of gen eral prospeilty. Tho Republican ad ministration has been tiled nnd tlus people know what It Is, but no ono can foreenst with nny coilninty what the result of the election of Hrynn would be. That It would cniiie com mercial derangement Is very prob able. In spite of nil differences about minor points, the deliverance of Cuba from Spanish despotism reflects credit on the administration by whoso agency It was accomplished. The protection tariff policy ot Mr. McKlnley nnd the Republican party Is favored by the nmjoilty of the American people. President McKlnley Is a man of unim peachable character, wlw has dis charged tho duties of his high office with wisdom nnd moderation. Gover nor Roosevelt Is a popular favorlto who has won honor an a successful lender In fighting tho battles of his country. As candidate for the vice presidency ho brings considerable strength to his party In the cam paign. IlesldeH, there nrti svoral I pending matters In wur and dlulomacy which make It a bad time for a new ndmlnlRtrntlon to come Into ofllco and power. "What have Ilryan and his Demo cratic nnd Populist supporters with which to counteract the Influence ot these Republican advantages? No doubt several of the things condemned In tho Democratic platform deserve condemnation. Hut there Is no good giound to believe that nil that Is wrong shall be made tight by tho election of Mr. Ilryan. The strongest point in the case for tho Democrats Is their opposition to the policy of tho present governing party In regard to the Philippines and Porto Rico. There ts much to be said In favor of tho United States keeping clear of em broilment In wars between nations of other continents, nnd applying tho energy of her people to the develop ment of her vast American resources. If tho question wns a new one now to be decided, It Is possible the decision might be ngnlnst 'expansion.' Hut It has been decided. Twenty millions have been paid to Spain for tho ces sion of these Islnnds to the United Stntes. It Is more than doubtful that a Democratic victory could arrest tho present trend of things and change tho policy of tho republic. It wns not at tho behest of President McKlnley that the martial expansion policy was adopted. He followed rather than led In these 'new departures.' The acqui sition of territory, or anything that brings glory or advantage to tho Unit ed States, Is In harmony with tho spirit of the people and not likely to be generally opposed. The overthrow of free lepubllcnn government by 'mil itarism la too remote and fanciful a dangnr to cause much alarm or Influ ence many votes. The present cm- brogllo In China will weaken tho force of the Democratic denunciation of for eign entanglements, ns It would be wrong for the United States to stand aloof In such a crisis. For the'se and other reasons this so-called 'para mount Issue of the campaign' will not cierclse a decisive effect on tho result. "The fatal weakness of the Bryan party Is tho rcadoptlon of the absurd silver policy, and the crude and con flicting notions of tho Populist wins of the party, who expect from legis lation more thnn It can ever bestow. In spite of many of his wisest and most prominent supporters, Bryan made the free coinage of silver and gold nt tho ratio of 16 to 1 an explicit condition of his acceptance of the nom ination. The folly of supposing that an artificial value can be given to sil ver or nny other article by govern ments or legislatures wns fully thresh ed out at the Inst presidential elec tion, when It was the main Issue, nnd rejected by tho people. Bryan's ac tion has made it tho main Issue again, and It has less chance than before of giving victory to Its nuthor. It Is not to the credit of the Democratic party nnd must be nn element; of weakness in this campaign, that In the west tho silver plank of the platform Is duly advocated, and In the east It Is spoken ot ns a matter of no consequence. The New York Evening Post and some other papers strongly advocate tho nomination of a new candidate for tho presidency. There are some Repub licans who arc against the present war policy and cannot vote for Mc Klnley, and there are some Demo crats who cannot vote for Bryan be cause they believe his 1C to 1 theory Is unsound and mischievous. The only purpose tho nomination of another candidate would servo would bo to give theso two classes of electors a candidate to vote for. A new candi date would not seriously affect the main contest between the two chief parties. We nre disposed to think there are quite as many Democrats disgusted with Bryan's silver policy as there are Republicans who are against McKlnley's 'Imperial' policy." THE WAY OF THE WORLD. Troy, N. Y Dispatch In the Bun. A woman bent with age and emaciated by hun ger was picked up In llici street last night by Policeman Koonan and brought to the Second precinct police nation, bhe proved to be Mrs. Trances llcne.Hct, a former wife of Lew Benedict, who In tha height ot his success is a minstrel made men laugh from one end ot the land to the other. Jlrs. Ilcnedlct was 1'annle Mearns, one of the prettiest girls In Troy In bcr jouthful days, and was greatly admired. She went to .New York, where she led a fast life for a time ami wis one of tho. most prominent ot tho demi monde, She passed her summers at Saratoga, where she was noted for her magnificent collec tion of diamonds and her gorgeous equipages. Iter summer home was the scene ot many fash ionable functions which gained her widespread notoriety. At one of these events sh met Ilcne dlct and they were shortly afterward married. Mrs. Dcnrdlct's generosity and charitable dona tions greatly reduced her possessions and those of her husband, until one day Benedict left her at the Stanwlx hotel, Albany, and never returned. Several jeara later he procured a divorce on the ground of desertion. From that moment her po sition ot splendor rapidly changed to one ot poverty. Ileccntly she has been residing In a small attic room In one ol the poorest sections of the illy and eking out a living by going out washing. At the Jail It was found that her svs tern Is completely undermined by lack of food and that her stay on earth will probably be brief. THE HALF REPUBLIC. J'rom the New York Sun.

The Scranton Tribune has inaugurated a grand Educational Contest, open to every ambitious person, not only in Scranton, but throughout Lackawanna and other counties in Northeastern Pennsylvania. This Educational Contest will be of unusual mag nitude and will be carried out in strict accordance with the rules of fairness and justice. The Tribune aims to largely increase its circulation during the next few months. It is the best and cleanest paper published in Northeastern Pennsylvania, and if it once finds its way into a family its merits will enable it to remain permanently. In order to introduce it we seek the co-operation of ambitious, intelligent young men and women, nnd to gain their help have put into exe cution a plan that will interest every one. We are going to give the scholarships and other special re wards to the ten persons who will be most successful and attain the highest number of points in our Educational Contest. By schol arships we mean a full course of study, paying the tuition charges in each, and in the cases of the two leading scholarships, The Tiibune will not only pay all tuition charges but will also pay the board 'of the fortunate winners during the life of the scholarship, covering four and three years respectively. In addition to the ten special rewards, and in order to com pensate those who may enter upon this work and not be success ful in obtaining one of these, The Tribune will give to every one who succeeds in obtaining subscribers under the terms of this contest ten (io) per cent, of all the money from subscrip tions thev may succeed in winning for it The Tribune wishes to emphasize the fact that this is in'no sense a gift enterprise or a scheme to swell its circulation books at the expense of outsiders. It is a bonafide business offer, con ceived in a spirit of fairness, and it will be carried out with equity and justice to all. Every young man or woman who participates will receive a share of the proceeds, even if successful in securing but one subscription. All letters of inquiry should be addressed to "Editor of the Educational Contest, Scranton Tribune, Scranton, Pa." The Tribune will be pleased to answer any inquiries for additional In formation and urges those interested to write if in doubt on any point.
