Your trust Is correct. There li no
basis for It. It Is a Kratultoua insult
both to the Republican candidate for
congress and to the Democratic dele
Bates upon whose honesty nnd Rood
faith the editor of the Times puts an
uncalled for imputation. The Repub
lican candidate for congress is used to
these libels; but It remains to be seen
how Mr. E. J. I.ynett's party asso
ciates will relish them.
An Issue of Veracity.
, yiIE imOOKLYN EAGLE has
i investigated carefully the
action of its "Washington
correspondent whoso recent
Mervlew with Admiral Dewey was
Ifnled by the latter. The correspond
ent, A. II, Atkins, asserts that his re
oort of the admiral's words was "cor
rect to the letter" and the Eagle, in
upholding Mr. Atkins, says it has had
"considerable experience both with Ad
miral Dewey and its Washington cor
lespondent. Its experience with the
admiral lias disclosed that, when ho
f-ays things impulsively or indiscreetly,
and they ate published, he becomes
convinced that he could not have said
them and, under that conviction, he
denies having said them." Its experi
ence with its correspondent is that
he is "quick to procure and apt to ap
preciate statements of Interest and im
portance for public characters"; he has
"every motive for enterprise and none
for Inaccuracy." It does not doubt
that the admiral became convinced on
Friday that ho "could not have said
on Thursday what was attributed to
lilm," because he denied it. The I. .isle
tecalls a similar experience following
the first Interview with the admiral
in which his intention to become a
presidential candidate wan alleged. It
"does not uphold its men when It be
lieves them wrong. When it believes
them right and correct It stands by
them, Irrespective of the distinction of
those who attack their credibility or
the subject involved."
The matter is not of great Import
ance from any standpoint. That the
Filipino Insurgents are holding out In
the mistaken belief that Bryan will be
elected president and order the Ameri
can troops to furl the flag in surren
der is a fact too well established to
require either assertion or denial from
Admiral Dewey. General Law ton said
practically as much In a letter written
only a few days prior to his untimely
death. General Otis has said it. Chap,
lain Pierce has said It. General King,
General Harrison Gray Otis, General
Funston and a host of lesser officers
have said it and the same testimony
comes without variation from civilian
bources. How could It be otherwise
when Uryan himself, In his speech of
acceptance, declares his purpose, if
elected, to summon congress in extra
sesMon to arrange terms with Agul
naldo preliminary to the recognition
of the independence of the Insurgent
element?

ceeds in living on 13 cents a day he

M
ATHEMATICS Is an exact
ucienco; its conclusions
ate irresistible. We ask
" our renders to apply a lit -
t"e mathematics to the wiy in which
tjj'e Democratic party in the South Is
disfranchising American citizens be
cause of race, color and pruvloiu con
dition of servitude, and governing the
negro without the consent of the gov
erned. The seven Democratic statPS of Ala
bama. Florida, Georgia, Louisiana
Mississippi, Arkansas and South Caro
lina send forty-eight representatives to
congress nnd have, combined, presi
dential electors to the number of Mx
tyjtwo. 'in these states tho right of
franchise Is systematically denied to
citizens of the United States on ac
count of race and color. Hero are fig

For purposes of contrast, take seven

If in the seven southern states 781,
007 votes can elect IS representatives
In congress nnd C2 presidential elect
ors, the same ratio In the seven north
ern states would give to those state.
21S representatives In congress, instead
of 06, and 320 In placo of 110 presiden
tial electors. The ratio in the seven
southern states is 16,352 votes to each
congressman, while In the seven
northern states It Is 42,212 to each con
gressman: and 12,060 In the Soutn
ngalnst 36.S44 in the North to each
presidential elector. In other words, a
vote polled In one of these southern
states lias from two and one-half to
three times as much effect In deter
mining national policies as has the
vote polled In Ohio or Pennsylvania.
Tho proportion of vote to voting popu
lation In tho Northern states is S3 per
cent.: in tho Southern states It is 43
per cent.
Wo certainly concur In the opinion
of tho Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune
that the Fifty-seventh congress should,
"In the interests of tho people at larso
nnd In Justice to the oppressed nnd
defrauded Republicans of the Demo
cratic stat.es named and others, can
vass this subject thoroughly, and, It It
bo feasible, see to It that If tho tep
resentatlon of tho states be not, In ac
cordance with the Fourteenth amend
ment, reduced, it should not bo In
creased till every barrier against fiee
elections and fair counts be, by these
states, removed forever. It may be
susceptible of successful contention
that there is reset ved to tho states
tho constitutional right to fix qualifi
cations of electors. Hut It Is main
tained, and tho Southern states should
concede it by action In conformity
with equity and the splilt of the con
stitution, that If they choose to place
an educational restriction on the
piivllege of franchise, they should In
even Justice make it apply alike to
white and black."
Until tho imperialism of Mr. Bryan's
southern supporters is corrected and
the principles of the constitution and
of tho Declaration of Independence are
applied with equal force throughout
tho confines of the several states the
people will not and should not permit
Mr. Bryan and tho Democratic spell
binders to draw their attention away
to scare-crows in Asia.
This year as in 1S96 tho Republi
can campaign managers want to
reach the silent vote and to this end,
while not neglecting the spell-binders,
they will place gieat emphasis on tho
widespread circulation of literature.
Tho man who thinks is the voter who
counts.
That Alaskan "Qlve-Away."
A SPECIAL correspondent of
tho Now York Herald who
recently visited Secretary
of State Hay at his summer
homo In New Hampshsiro writes an
explanation of the Alaskan boundary
dispute which dispels much recent
criticism uttered evidently for a par
tisan puiposn.
"It can," he says, "bo stated that
there has been no cession of territory
to Canada under the provincial boun
dary Just completed in accordance
with the terms of tho modus Vivendi,
and there can be none. Nor has any
thing been said, done or agieed to by
tho representatives of the United
States before, dutlng or since the lo
cation of the provisional boundary to
weaken the claim of tho United States.
It Is a merely temporary line devised
for the practical working of tho two
governments In their nlmlnlstratlon
policing, collection of tariff duties, &c.
of the territory, until tho boundary is
Anally determined.
"The modus vlvendl was entered Into
because of tho refusal of tho Cana
dian commissioners to accept a;y set
tlement or adjustment except ore that
this govcrnmMit felt would deprive it
of tertitory to which It had a ofr
ftctly sounl iH.e. The contention of
Canada was that the boundary fol
lowed the continental coast line ten
marine leagues Inland, Jumping from
headland to neidland. This would
have given thorn control of all water
access to tho t;old fields by the Dalton
trail. White Pass and Chllkoot Pass
control of ull tho Lynn cuna! and of
Dyea and Skngunj. The United States
contended for the line on nil the recent
imps, which followed the windings or
sinuosities of the coast, put th- Lynn
canal In American tenltory and gave
to the United States Dyea, SVaguay
and Porcupine creel:. The United
States felt that It had a substantial
case and could hold Its claim. Canada
wanted to compromise and suggested
Its willingness to abandon its claim
to Dyea and Skaguay if the Uni'c-d
States would only permit It to havo
Pyramid harbor, so that It couln
have a tidal entiy to the Yukon re
gion. The United States held that
compromise was out of the question,
as Its boundary line was the correct
one.
"Canadn, In Its deslro to get a port
of entry, then offered to arbltinto.
Arbitration would have meant, In the
first place, nn admission of tho United
States that there was a flaw in Its
contention, and, In tho second place,
would have led to a compromise, and
the permanent boundary yet to be
fixed would have been run somewh-'ivj
between the Canadian and American
lines.. Thus Canada wojld have got
what It wanted a deep water hatbor
on tho Lynn canal. To this Secre
tary Hay would not consent, believ
ing that the claim of the United
States admitted of no question, and,
as a matter of fact, the last reply
c.l the United States, presented to
Great Britain by Ambassador Choato
months ngo, was so strong and con
vincing In support of the American
contention Ihnt it has nver been an
swered, and state department ofllclals
believe that the boundaiy experts of
Great Biltaln and Canadi will not be
able to answer It to th.'lr own bene
fit. "But In the meantime, while the Unl-
ted .'Hates was standing out for Its
territory, n portion of which Canada
wanted to get by calling for arbitra
tion a question that was not posslblo
of arbitrament, something had to be
done to case the tension at these south
ern gateways to the Klondike. No ono
would desire a fight between England
nnd the United Stales over the Klon
dike gold diggings, nnd yet the em
bers of war were smouldering there.
Canadian claims, somewhat shifty and
altered from time to time, were sup
ported by all the public men of the
Dominion, nnd were made In the hope
of getting a deep water harbor, and
the United States purposed holding the
ground. This government sent troops
to Dyea nnd Skngway. Canada hail
mounted police In both places. Cana
dian police were on the streets of Dyea
and Skagway dally nnd in one of the
places Canada had a government office.
It was a sort of no man's land, or,
rather, n land with a, dual government.
Disputes were constantly arising. An
armed conflict over tho enforcement
of lnw or the maintenance of order
might arise at any hour.
"Therefore, to remove tno danger of
conflict the modus vlvcndl was entered
into. It ptovlded for a line to be fixed
by an officer of tho United States Coast
Survey and a Canadian astronomer at
each of the points at which the dis
puted country could bo entered. Thus,
it was not a complete or continuous
lino from Yukon or Canadian territory
on the east to United States territory
on the west, but lines Indicated by
monuments at the White HIver Pass,
tho Chllcoot Pass and along the Kle
heeni, or Klehlnl, river and Porcupine
creek, north of the Indian village of
Klukwan, those lines only being drawn
nt places where nccess could be had
Into the country beyond. It was tc be
merely a temporary working boundary
for the time being, so that each coun
try should know where it could exer
cise its authority so long as tho ar
rangement lasted. In the drawing of
this line Canada was put entirely out
of tho Lynn Canal; driven away from
Pyramid Harbor, from Dyea and Skag
way. Tho Indian town of Klukwan,
which Canada claimed, was taken In
as American territory. Instead of hav
ing a tidewater port of entry, Canada
was deprived of even canal navigation
to the Klondike. When tho extent of
the concessions made by Canada and
the United States is compared, It Is
discovered that Canada has conceded
more than one bundled miles and tho
United States not more than ten miles,
and nothing that -the United States
has done has vitiated or weakened Its
claim, which is even now being
pressed."
It would be Interesting to learn how
Secretary Hay's critics would have
acted In the same circumstances. They
don't tell us that.
The mayor of Camden, N. J., h.ii
set a good example to magistrates at
largo by decreeing that his police
men shall go on duty In their shirt
sleeves during the heated term If they
so desire, There Is no reason why
an ofllcer comfortably clad cannot per
form duty as effectively as one whose
costume Invites heat prostration.
There Is no doubt that the Rus
sian minister Is the proper person to
first try the experiment of a Chinese
escort from Pekln. As he has survived
being boiled and thrown to the dogs,
M. de Glers ought to be able to en
dure a Journey to Tien Tsln without
mishap.
The report from Pretoria that
President Kruger has sent a large
cash contribution to the Bryan cam
paign fund is very likely fictitious.
Mr. Kruger knows too well the valua
of money to throw any away.
Governor Beckham, of Kentucky, In
office by grace of tho Goebel law, in
tends to convene tho legislature in ex
tra session to repenl that statute. Now
that It has served his purpose he is
willing to kick It aside.
The Paris exposition Is said to be a
flat failure financially. The projectors
of the enterprise were properly equip
ped to take care of visitors who had
cash to spare, but tho victims appear
to have been backward In coming for
ward. There Is no question that Hawaiian?
are becoming thoroughly American
ized. A third political party has loom
ed up which promises to make trouble
for both Republicans and Democrats.
Dog days are nearly over and no
one seems to have thought of the
muzzles. Verily the city Is growing
more humane.
The back bono of the hot wave has
been broken, hut It still waves.

SPECIAL RE WAMDS FOE
Those Who Secure the Greatest Number of New
Subscribers for The Tribune WH1 Be Well
Paid for Their Services An Excellent Oppor
tunity Is Afforded the Ambitious to Earn
Money and Perhaps Secure One of the
Several Valuable Rewards.
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, and to
cution a plan that will interest
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
Ttibune 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 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 tne
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

Theodore Holl of Chicago Heights, 111., nays : "I desire to ndd mj
testimony to the great good Riitatw Tabulea have done for mo. I am a
mechanical engineer, S3 years old, an old soldier, berving four years during
tho late civil war I had enjoyed good health up to two years ago, when I
began to be subjected to pains in the head and heart. I took medical advic
on the matter, aud was Informed that I was Buffering from 'Tobacco Heart.'
In the meantime constipation set in, and I suffered tho torments of the
damned, viz., the loss of sleep, intense fear of impending danger, dizzincas,
forgetfulnees and inability to collect my thoughts. I stopped the use of
tobacco, but the torture and the palnB aud diMress went on. I expended
many dollars for nerve tonics, heart medicines and dyspepsia cures, but from
none of these did I receive a particle of beneilt, but soon noticed that whenever
I could get my bowels in nny measure regulated for a short time I felt better.
About tills time I saw Ilipans Tabulee advertised in tho paper and commenced
using, them, This was about seven months ngo, and to-day I am quite free of
the pains in tho head and my heart is nearly in its normal condition. I feel
myself once more a man. I give this testimonial freely, believing that it is only
justice to my fellow man tliat ALL should know, and you tiro free to uso this as
you see fit. I will cheerfully answer all inquiries from any ono similarly afllicted
as myself. Itipans Tabulea uro a blessing to the poor, being so cheap that they
aru within the reach of all. Yours truly, Theo. IToit, Chicago Heights, HI."
