X TIUJ OPINION of Senator
Hoar, lite first nnd ablest untl
linpei'lallst, the anti-Imperialism
of Mr. Bryan and his party "Is
but n inank to cover the things they
Iiiivp had most at heart from the be
KlnnlnK It Is a mask to cover their
purpose to establish the free coinage
of silver, a mask to cover their pur
pose to overthrow the bunking sys
tem, a mask to cover an attack on the
Supreme conn, and a purpose to re
organize It If they can get the oppor
tunity." -.Senator Hoar points out that
a very considerable number of the
Judges of the Supreme court of the
United States are old men. It is not
at nil Impossible that the majority of
the court may be changed through the
term of a single president. If Mr.
Jlrynn .shall be elected ho will bring
his party Into power with him the
party which is at this moment en
gaged in contriving with masterly in
genuity the disfranchisement of 10,000,
000 of Americans at home. "I must,"
the senator from Massachusetts con
tinues, "have something better than
these declarations against Imperialism
from the candidate who secured the
passage of the treaty nnd baffled all
efforts I was able to make against it
before I nm ready to purchase his elec
tion at the cost of having a govern
ment that will sympathize with the
disfranchisement of 10,000,000 of Ameri
cans nt home, that will stand for dis
honoring he currency, for the violation
of national faith, for the overthrow
ing of the banking system and the
establishment of an Income tax, for
assailing the Integrity of the Supreme
court, tor sympathizing everywhere
with Populism and Socialism, and
which will bo a substitute for the
prosperity which has brought comfort
Into the homes of our wotklngmen,
which has cleared off the indebtedness
of the farmer, vhlon has brought Eng
land herself to our shores as a bor
rower, which has made the balance
of trade on our side, ana established
foiever the Independence of American
nianufai'ture."
This Is the view of Itryan's attitude
which Is bound to prevail among per-a-ns
of conservatism and penetration.
When Mr. l'.iyan Indorsed Ooebellsm
in Kentucky he lllustiated the depth
of his devotion to the tights of the ma
Joiity. it Is on a par with his willing
acceptance of electoral support from
states which rule the disfranchised
negro by terrorism nnd Intimidation.
The Real Issue of Imperialism.
INNF.SOTA nnd South
M Carolina each have 3 elec
v JL loral votes; their tionu-
latlon Is almost equal.
Four years ago Minnesota polled 34',
061 votes and South Carolina CS7
votes. In other words, o:i" ballot cast
In South Carolina for president weighs
as heavily ns live ballots cast In Min
nesota, because in Minnesota suffrage
Is uniestilcted while in South Caro
lina the negro Is not allowed to vote.
Similar inequality prevails between
other Northern and Southern states
and with the Increase of franchise dis
criminations It Is growing. The South
lifts fort electoral votes nnd forty
vtites in ' congress resting upon the
rjSgro--population within her borders,
"ijils representation is based on popu
liyiort. if jt rested on votes polled tho
South would lose at least twenty of
these forty votes nt once.
-The South Is bent upon nullifying
the Fifteenth amendment to the Fed
eral constitution, which grants the bal
Iql without regard to race, color or
prevlQus condition of servitude, and
also resists every effort mnde to en
force the second section of tho Four
teenth amendment, which provides for
a reduction In representation wherj
tltirq'nlB. denial or abridgment of tho
rlirhtiftlf yote. Tho South remains solid
politically, Insists upon keeping from
the polls citizens who have a consti
tutional right there and will not sac
rifice the unjust advantage In the elec
toral college and In congress accruing
fram such illegal suppression of it
latee' fraction of the popular vote. In
thU North, Kast and West there Is no
serious spirit of sectionalism extend
ing from year to year and operating
nsa political Injustice at the expense
of, the South; but In the Southern
state we have an Illustration of white
man's imperialism which not merely
puts Into subjection 10,000,000 of human
beings roildpnt'ln that section but nisi
nobles their political oppressors to
t bti jn the election of presl-
1
dent and congresses liavlnp prnctlc
nlly five times the effect of ballots cast
In the other states of our Union.
Mention this situation to a Demo
cratlc ofllce-seeker and he will accuse
you of "waving tho bloody shirt." of
Irvine to rcvlvo the old sores nt tin
Civil war period, of "sectionalism,"
etc. Hut It Is nothing of the kind. It
Is a subject of vital present nnd future
Interest, wholly apart from any dif
ferences or blunders In tho past. It
concerns every man now n voter or
likely to become one. It raises the
question whether his vote, If enst cut
side tho "black belt," shall have only
a fractional part of tho registering
power of a vote cast and counted 1.
that belt. On a close division this un
just preponderance of Southern voting
strength might decide a presidency or
determine the partisan complexion of
n. congress. It might this very year
bo the means of working a ruinous
revolution In our currency lerjlslatlon
as well as In our foreign policy. It
does not disappear when Ignored. It
continues and grows In menace year
after year.
Mr. Ilryan weeps for the Filipinos,
whoso troubles nto of their own Jnnnu
faeture, and deplores tho fence needed
In Inylng the foundations of, a stable
government among them. His Ann
voice rings with outcry nt the "Im
perialism" that Is protecting llfo and
property against the dagger and torch
of Agulnnldo's bandit guerillas pre
paratory to tho general introduction
of the free church, the free press, th
free school nnd the honest court. He
Is so thotoughly alarmed lest Ameri
can Ideas should get a foothold In Asia
that ho has temporarily suspended
championship of the great domestic
cure-all, sixteen to one. Hut not n
word comes from him against I ho real
Imperialism of his colleagues In .be
South, who nre nullifying the consti
tution of tho United States, changing
citizens Into subjects nnd usurpli.g a
voting power which does nwny with
the cardinal principles of the Declar
ation of Independence.
Among a bunch of IJoer prlsoneia
captured by the English in South
Africa nnd deported to Ceylon were
twenty-two Irish-Americans, whose
friends In this country are working for
their release. It would pay Knglnnd
to release them. No object could bo
gained by prolonging their captivity.
Clemency goes well with triumph In
war.
Not a Safe Prophet.
J
UDOING HIS future by his past.
Mr. Uryan will not occupy a
high place In the list of the
world's great prophets. Tho
Hoston Advertiser has taken tho pains
to look up some of the prophecies and
prediction made by Mr. Uryan four
years ago, and It finds that if tlicso
had proven ttuo tho gold standard,
which has been in operation since
he uttered them, would Jhavo pro
duced the following dlte results, to
wit:
it would have Increased the pur
chasing power of tho gold dollar.
Madison Srjunro Garden speech.
It would have been ns certnln to
make prices fall ns a ntono is to fall
when It Is tin own Into the air. New
ton, In., speech.
It would have Increased tho debts
of the people nnd lessened their abil
ity to pay them. rtnltlmoro speech.
It would have made times harder
and harder. Same speech.
It would have starved everybody ex
cept the money changers and the
money owners. New Haven, Conn.,
speech.
It would have transferred the bread
which one man earns to nnother man
who had not earned It. Hartford,
Conn., speech.
It would have made the rich richer
and the poor poorer. Newark, 20.,
ppoech.
It would have decreased the number
who are happy and Increased the
number who aio in distress. Same
speech.
It would have destroyed the hopo
of the tolling masses. Minneapolis
speech.
It would have destroyed the oppor
tunity to woik. Same speech.
It would have Increased tho number
of Idle men. Same speech.
It would hae decreased the volume
of standard motuy. Same speech.
It would have encouraged the hoard
ing of money. HornelHvllle, N. V.,

It would have mado It more nnd
more difficult for the farmer to live.

earner. Same speech.
It would have made employment less
certain. Same speech.
It would have discouraged enter

of those engaged In business occupa
tions nnd would have lessened the
permanency of such salaries. Samo
speech.
It would have Injured those who
have permanent investments in rail
road stocks and other like enterprises.
Same speech.
It would have Injured or destroyed
tho manufacturers of agricultural Im
plements, wagons and buggies.
Spilnglleld, O., and Flint, Mich.,
stui-eches.
It would have lessened the nblllty of
tho masses to buy goods and thereby
would huve lessened the number of

It would have made It Impossible for
husbands and wives to pay off the
mortgages on their homes. Mlnno
upolls, Minn., speech to ladles.
It would have made It necessary to
advocate tho closing up of our public
schools. Monmouth, III., speech.
This record of failure to connect with
tho facts renders Mr. Hryan a very
dubious pilot for tho American ship of
state. The country had better re-em-Ploy
tho man with experience.
Secretnry Hoot says tho United
States has agreed to the selection of
Count von 'Wnldersee as commander-In-cblef
of the International forces In
China and consented to accept orders
from him concerning the military
work of any American troops that may
co-operate In some specific operation.
The tight to say when, where and for
what purpose this co-operation shall
be Is reserved. The count will per
ceive that his authority Is not likely
to overwhelm him.
Tho bonrd of naval construction Is
divided as to the kind of protected
cruiser to recommend In execution of
the law providing for three new cruis
ers of "about 8,000 tons" each. One
element wants fJ.GOO-ton ships capable
of going 23 knots nn hour; the other
wants 8,500-ton, 22-knotters. Let us
have tho former, by all means. Tho
American people want tho worth of
their money.
The threat to establish a govern
ment nrmor plate plant has had the
desired effect. The private bidders who
a. short time ago demanded $545 a ton
are now ready to take $400 and a new
bidder, tho Mldvale Steel company,
offers to furnish the whole lot of 31,000
tons of Krupp armor for $133 a ton, a
saving of $3,317,000.
Several thousand starving miners nt
Cape Nome now ask the government
to assist them In getting back home.
It seems to be as hazardous to pin
one's faith to the allurements of Paci
fic steamship companies as to the
promises of Democratic campaign ora
tors. In tho eyes of the enthusiastic
boomer of the paramount Issue, the
document that was signed on July 1,
177C, Is a rather unimportant paper
compared with the anti-Imperialist
declaration of Independence without re
sponsibility. Gold Democrats who support Itryan
say ho couldn't establish free silver If
he tried. Kxpanslon Democrats who
support him say he couldn't give up
the Philippines If he tried. In these
events, why bother with him at all?
Admiral Dewey ought either to give
forth no Interviews for publication or
else write them out, have them certi
fied by a notary and copyrighted.
Tho enthusiasm over Adlal can hard
ly be called riotous.
POLITICAL NOTES.
With tho exception of two jcars, :cara pro
ductive of distress, hunger, bankruptcy and
panic, tlu destiny of tho nation has been partial
ly or entirely under the control of the Hep.ih
llcan party ccr since tbe Inauguration of Abra
ham Lincoln In INil. During thes forty jcaia
the country hi" ideaneed by leaps and bounds in
population, wealth, material, social ana inici
lettual development. The trans-Mississippi re
gion has been concerted from buffalo ranges lo
imperial states, bridges hace been thrown across
mighty rlwrs, railwass hoc been built occr the
mountains, millions of homes have been created,
schools without number have been built, Col
lins hace been endowed, human liberty ha
been respected (In Itepublican states), and tin
republic has a deeper hold on tho affections of
Its citirens than ecr before, and compels rcpect
.Iroad.
Whit is Mr. Itryan's plan for the disposition of
the Philippines? The only Inference from his
speeches Is that he would let loose fair prom
ises and honej nl words, and on the strength of
these would withdraw the American troops from
the Philippines. What would prevent, afier
withdrawal of the American troops, the same
horrors in Manila that hacc sWtcd I'eklnf What
would become of tho natives who lnd helped to
suppress the Tagal insurrection after they were
thus left to the devices of the Agulmhlo, whose
cruelty did not stop at tho murder of his own
generals?
The Democratic press is telling the people that
the McKlnley prosperity is only skin deep. Per
haps they aru right, but there Is no question
olout tho Cleveland edcersity lacing reached to
(he Joints and marrow of the body politic. Skin
deep Itepublican prosperlt Is a thousand-fold
better than bone deep Democratic hard times.
In one year (104) of Democratic rule, the
cage earners of the United States depleted their
savings deposits by more than $.17,000,0(10. Since
McKlnley las been pi evident they have earned
ciough to sic and incest a surplus In savings
banks deposits alone of more than $183,000,000.
In onp breath the Democratic orator will as
sure his h-arcra that McKlnley has no backbone,
that he is a creature controlled by those around
him, and with the next breath will arcuw him
c( shaking the republic to pieieo In order to
erect a thrcne on tho ruins thereof.
i:cry flee ears a billion of dollars goes out
of tho United States to pay foreign ships for
doing our foreign carrlng. That may continue
Indefinitely If the Dernociats succeed at the
next election. It will be stopped immediately If
tho llepubllcans win.
The Democrats favor a stable government for
tbe Philippines. The Sultan of Turkey has 4
stable ro eminent, the Oar of Russia has a
viable goceri.ment, Chint has had a stable gov
ernment for twenty centuries, which Kind do
the Democrats favor?
Ilryan would glee absolute Independence to tho
Philippines. This of course means that the fla
shall be furled and the army recalled. Will
he explain how this (an be done? la there any
ceustitutioual provision for alienating American
tcrrttoi) ?
It is remarkable how the leaders of the Demo,
cratlc party, while seated at home or in con.
inlttec, can give adclce as to the ronduct of the
car and criticise the work of those who go to
the front and carry the Hag to victory.
If the 18 to 1 proposition is not an Issue why
was It placed in tho Kansas City platform? If
tint plank is dishonest and doesn't mean what it
saj a what must the public think of the remain
der of the stiucture?
The Democratic Memphis Commercial-Appeal
admits that Mr. Mr) an means 1(1 to- 1, and lias
no patience with those Democrats who art trying
tt Ijnore the Issue and take up the cry of "Im
perialism." Those who vote for Ilryan vote to abandon a
condition more prosperous than any ever before
enjoyed by any nation, for the purpose of tiylng
a flrujjclal experiment condemned by all nations.
A political party that puts forth a platform
and then tries to explain that it doem't mean
what it sa) i naturally Incites tho suspicions cf
tho voters.
The Itepublican administration goes to the
rountr upon Us accomplishments.
"RIDICULOUS NONSENSE."
Trcm a Speech by Senator Hoar.
Mr. Ilryan sayi that If he is elected he shall
call an extra session at once and propose to
ccnyrcsa to gice up the Philippine! to their own
people. He la too intelligent r.ot to know very
well that this talk Is the Idlest and most ridicu
lous nonsense, He knows he could not expect
cither house of congress to do this thing until
tho people ol the Philippine Islands have aban
doned their opposition and havo established an
orderly goternment under our protection. He
knows that If there should be a Democratic
majority in the house cf rcprest ntatlvrs eepial
to his wildest hopes, sid if the Itepublican ma-
Jorlty In the senate should be reduced ti two', or
wiped out altogether, so that It should be tie
which Is, I suppose, bejond his most sanguine
expectations there are still earnest and pledged
Imperialists enough In the Democratic, pitty
to prevent any such action.
A PARALLEL.
rrora a Speech by Senator Hoar.
Mr. Itryan's conduct (toward the Puis treaty)
Is os If some general In the Hevolutlonary arniy,
n great lead-r of tho people like Washington or
Greene, had given up West Point to the British
and had Induced the Continents! congress to de
clare that King George was our lawful sovereign
and the IlrllLsh parliament our lawful legislature,
on tho plea that ho wanted to stop the war,
and expected afterward to get some votts
through one or the other house of Ilrltlsh psr
Ilamcnt granting us Indtpcndence. The war
with p'raln was oceri we had no title, as Presi
dent McKlnley declared again and again, to
anything In the Philippines but the city of
Manila. At that rolnt In came Mr. Ilryan and
got all that were needed of his followers to
force through the senate a treaty which made
lawful our ownership of the whole of the Phil
ippines and pledged the faith of the country
that we should pay for them and that con
gress thereafter should legislate for them, and,
arcordlng to many high constitutional authcrl
t'ea, made It tho duty of the president to re
duce them to submission.
WHO DOES?
From the Indianapolis Press, Ind.
We d not bellee that either Mr. .McKlnley,
hl cabinet ministers or tho llopublican leaders
In congress are In any consnlraey to evolve n,
monarchy out of our republic or to selo an
Imperial crovn or perform any of tho other nu
merous absurdities that are charged to them.
NO OTHER.
From the Indianapolis Preas, lnd.
While the demand for free silver at the ratio
of 10 to 1 or any other ratio out of all proportion
lo the market value o' sd(fr remains a part
of the announced creed of llr. P-rjati and the
Democratic party, there Is no other l-siia worth
talking about.
HONEST, SINCERE, UNSTEADY.
From the Indlanipolls Prcas, Ind.
That Mr. Bryan Is honest and sincere, we
have no dot.bt, nor Ime we any doubt that he
Is unsteady and disposed to entertain the most
cjitrcme views.
MULTTJM IN PARVO.
There are at present about 517,000,000 bread
eaters in the world, nearly eight times the popu
lation of the United Stales.
The foreign s-ile ol American flour Is increasing
enoimounly-from about 4,000,000 barrels in 1S73,
to ocer 10,000,000 barrels in 1RS3, and 18,000,000
barrels in the rresent ear.
The main reason why consumptives are sent
to New Mexico in midwinter is that it Is alwajs
warm enough there to stay outdoors, htayl ig

A plant capable of developing 12,000 horse,
power has Iwen built nt Snon.ualmlc Falls, and
the current will be transmitted to Seattle, twenty-six

Delaware rubllcly whips some of Its mile mal
efactors, but no woman has been thus punished
In the state for nearly fifty years, the law ex

Itussla Is being opened up to wonderful en
gineering possibilities. All of Its great rivers

The special expert sent abroad by the agri
cultural department In search of new seeds and

The entrails cf silk worms arc used to make
silk threads of the greatest strength and flexi

Ilrldles were in use In very distant ages. An
cient Thctwallan coins often represent a horse
with a long rein touching tho ground. The
young Romans were trained to ride and mount
unassisted, but the use cf the bridle wag kuoevn
from the first. According to Llvy, Aulus Cor
nelius, in a battle with the Hdenae, ordcrtd
the Roman cavalry to unbridle before charg
ing, probably to give them more weight.

SPECIAL RE WARDS EOE
Those Who Secure the Greatest Number of New
Subscribers for The Tribune Will Be Wei!
Paid for Their Services An Excellent Oppor
tunity Is Afforded the Ambitious to Earn
Money and Perhaps Secure
Several ValuabJo Rewards.
The Scranton Tribune has
Contest, open to every ambitious
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, and to gain their help have put into exe
cution a plan that will interest everv one.
We aie goinp 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
Tribune 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 (10) per cent, of all the money from subscrip
tions they 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.

Social obligations lead to the keeping of late hours. Dirring Is
done at a time when the stomach should be at rest, and the food and
drink are of a character so rich that digestive disorders are sure to
follow. A brilliant and fashionable society woman of St. Louis recently
said : " In consequence of late hours and late suppers I would often be
possessed next day of that 'tired f ceiling' I have read so much about.
Because I would not arise until late, my regular exercise was neglected,
and I ate irregularly at home also. Eventually I developed a large sized
case of indigestion, and, aside from the suffering it caused me, it ren
dered me. with my nervous temperament, exceedingly irritable, It was
at my sister's suggestion that I tried Ripans Tabules, but they accom
plished all I could have wished ; and now, whenever I am feeling badly
or have been irregular about my meals, I always take a Ripans and, as
a result, I constantly enjoy the best of health."
