This is a new Issue on which they Imagine that they .stand sumo chance of fooling the people. On the Uryan "p.uainount issue" of four ears ago, free coinage, they Know that they can no longer fool the people a little bit.

M'lll a country which has sacrificed thousands of lles and hun dreds of millions of dollais to main tain the authoilt.v of the Vnlted States, elevate to the ollke of president tho candidate of a league which is excit ing all Its energies to tear duwn the flag? "The promise of Mr. Iliyan, if elect ed president, to exert all tho power of that great olllco to &ecuio the In dependence of tho Tagalb and job the United States of all we possess In the Orient, -was not enough. .Mr. Uiyan promised them more than tho TagiN themselves had the audacity to n.k. He promised, If elected piesldent, hp would exort all his influence, after all tho territories of the Unltod States In tho East had been surrendeied and Tagal governments set up, to extend the Monroe doctrine to the Orient, nnd protect against all the world such gov ernments oh tho Filipinos might liae In the archipelago. The Monioo doctrine. Is a rtsclutatlon on tho pirt of our government that tho acquisition of territory and tho establishment of monarchlal governments by Uuropean powers on this; hemisphere would b regarded as unfriendly to th United States. This declaration was made for our own protection, and not as a bsnevolent Interference with the af fairs of other people. No Uuropean nation Jjus acknowledged the Monioo doctrine as International law, but all tho nations' ,hava refrained from Inter ference, on account of the paramount Interests of tho United States. Tho maintenance ot the Mojiroq doctrine In tho Orient after wo liavo lost our possessions there, would be opposed nnd refJtste.d' ty nil tho world, To dominate! and control the relations ot the numerous governmental organiza tions which might exist In the Philip pines Willi all the nations ot the world, should" rerjulro a military establishment equal to that of the combined powers of Europe.

From a recent syeech by Senator Stewart of Nevada. In ten years, by Increasing In popu lation from 261,355 to 3S1.76S, Cleveland han wrested from Cincinnati the pri macy among American cities, and Toledo, by growing from 81,431 to 131, 822, has helped to demonstrate that lakes are hotter than rlveis as feeders of business, m Omaha's Object Lesson. AHUMAUKAUUn condition ot affairs Is exhibited in the cen . bus report on the population of Omaha, now only 102,555, ngalnst H0,4ri2 reported In 1900, a decrease of 2C.98 per cent. This Is the only Instance ot u decreaso In population yet reached In the census count, which now Included more than n dozen cities. It Is explained by the statement that tho enumeration ten yinrs ago was unmercifully padded. Old hotel registers were used nnd the names on the tombstones In the ceme teries utilised. Ten years ago Omaha was domlnnt d by leal estnte speculators who wer bent on manufacturing a boom. They succeeded temporarily, but tho boom soon collapsed. "Within the past three years, however, Omaha has recovered fiom the stagnation following the bursting of Its boom, nnd when the. Pennsylvania commission to the Oma ha exposition Inspected Its conditions there weie numerous signs of substan tial growth. The city's location makes It tho commercial gate-way into .a gieat Inland empire which Is enjoying today an unprecedented season of pros pel Ity, and which cannot folj to in ciease In wealth. Nothing but tho foolishness of Its own people. Instanced In such disreputable practices as tho padding of the census return, can pre ent a steady and continuous develop ment. Uooms nrc the bane of true growth. They induce wild speculation, the rash taking on of heavy indebtedness tind dlsiegaid of elementary principles of commciclal prudence and honesty. If the epeiience of Omaha shall discour age tlinlr promotion and encourage pa tient plodding in the upbuilding of new cities the lesson will be valuable. Ten Sears hence Omaha will redeem her let oid. Ten years hence she will ex hibit a substantial giowth. In New Yoik city n negio who shows any moio spirit than a whipped spaniel after being abused, Is icgarded by the police as a bad citizen alto gether and unlit to lhe.

(Ikn llurlca I'mori Pmltli, in the Philadelphia Pre ) T Iin IJHAMATIC occupation ot I'ekin anil tne lescue or Mlnlstir Conger and his as sociates complete the Itn midlate put pose of the lellef expedi tion, but it does not end Its task or the objut for which the United States kiudid Its troops. This wnt, not mere ly to rescue ceitaln citizens In danger, but to pioteet all our citizens In t'hliui and all our Inteitsts there. These le maln to demand both the piesldent's attention and the present e of our sol diers In the Chinese capital. Any de mand that congress should be called in cxti.i session is based on exnetly the same ml.seoni eptlon as the earlier cry for a like step, and, like that earlier tiy, will utterly dlsappeai. Congress should de elate war, but war is as dis tant aB befoie. Congress can do noth ing else. It la for the president to pro tect American right's and enforce trea ties, a part of the law of tho land which he has sworn to uphold. It Is us much his duty to use all necessary and proper means to tee that an American citizen has all his rights un der treaties as under any other law on tho statute-book. The United Stntes has a treaty right to diplomatic iclatlons with China, to the fiee and secuie residence of lte citizens, to the safe prossecutlon of tiade, or of any calling In which Its cltlens may bo engaged, and to tho collection of a treaty tariff, nnd only a tieaty tat Iff on our lmpoits Into China. These primary rights aie sus pended over one-fourth of China. In four provinces our cltUens have been muideied or hao lied to avoid this fate, their dwellings have been buined, nnd In some places a mob and In others olllclals bar their lettirn. Our trade is wholly Interrupted In the northern tieaty ports, nnd In the ports to the south It suffeis from widespread ills order. In Pekln itself our minister has only been saed from massacre by our own tioop, nnd owes his safety to their piesente, while the oirtclals to whom he presented his ciedentlals, and with whom he conducted business, have (led the city because they and their associates dliected or abetted the attacks of icgular Chinese soldiers on his legation. The "open door" In China we de manded fiom Uuiope six months ago, and we do not propose to have It closed either by a mob or by an em press nnd olllclals faithless to our tieatles. With the precise administra tion at Pekln or with the Imperial suc cession we havo never busied our selves. Any government which will protect our citizens, enforce our trea ty rights and pay for their tecent ln. latlon will be satisfactory to us; but such a government wo must have If our treaties are to be more than mere waste paper, and our duty will not be over In China until such n govern ment Is established. It Is not our duty to estnbltsh such a stablo government. This Is the duty of nny officials ot the Chinese admin istration In Pekln who, like Prince Chlng, havo labmod to enforce treaty rights, nnd that of I.l Hung Chang and tho viceroys and governors In the south who have maintained treaty ob. ligations, But it is our clear duty to seo that this work Is so dono that our futuro rights shall be sofo nnd our cuirent claims for damages resperted and settled. This duty the president Is discharging by keeping our soldiers at Pekln until the next step Is clear, nnd he does this for exactly tho same reason nnd along the eame line of policy which led him to demand the pledge of tho "open door" last winter from every Uuropean power. Not a step Jslnce but has logically grown from that policy nnd the constitutional obligations of the hour. Iteports continue to arrive concern ing parties who have fallen heir to Immense estates In England nnd other foreign countries. It Is seldom that rnyone save lawyers, however, realize ony cash from these foi tunes In the air. It Is stated that some of the most enthusiastic of feline breeders of Scronton are nt present short of cats. There are several neighborhoods In tho city that) would no doubt cheerfully make up the deficiency nt any time. There lsi one refreshing feature con nected with the appointment of Jona than P. Dolllver to the vacant Iowa senatorshlp. It comes wholly as n re waid of merit and there is no taint of boodle or dicker. Official statements from the different generals In command nt Pekln Indicate that It may be necessniy co oppnnt a commission to determine what troops hod the honor of entering the city first. Tho people of Scrnnton should not build excessive expectations on tho local census returns. Almost all of the announced totals' of other cltlts have thus far been disappointing. General Gomez hns evolved a second epistle on the Cuban situation ihlch Is more modulate nnd sensible than the first. The Cubans" second think Is always better than their llrst. Of course Uiynn Is on the stump and he will stay there throughout the campaign. That threat to limit his talking was never taken seriously. The foreign governments act as though they had suspicions that Earl Li's power of attorney Is bogus. Weekly Letter on Municipal Affairs. XII. "THE FIRE COUNTRY AND ITS FIRE FIGHTERS." (Copyright, 1900, bp William S, Crandall.) A .Ml n re -V has been called "tile fire country." In the light of the conthgratlons during the rlrst half cf 11X), it will be understood that it Is will named. The total loss b lire in the I'nlted statu and Canada for tho first sjx months of this 3 ear amounted to ?101, jn.ooo, -h against m,i K),7Wi during the Mine ferlnd lat oir. Nearh a score of cities hue hid fires with losses from jo0,(Hi0 to $12,000,000 In the lirst hilf of the jnr. Phihdilplila, Byr miso and Ottawa, Cinaila, hau hid more than twit a the amount of fire loss during the llrht half of this 3 ear than in tho corresponding period of lsOT. And so Vmtrica can be appro prliteli cilleil "tin lire country " The nuso of this greut fire loss is not attributable to tho work ot Inefficient firemen and Inadequate equipment for fire protection, for It his long been lonteded that the I'nlted Platen lrids the world In the Ingenuity of Its fire nt!ngulhng appliances and the perfection of its trained fire' departments. The ical cause for the enormous fire loss Is to' be found, nut In the cure, but In the pre sendee measures which are so unhersilly ig nored In this country inerican cltlts grow In a hurry ami they burn down in a hurry. The main trouble lies in the hurried building and carrier use of combustible materials. Ltss cire is taken In making chlmnfj"s, and the houses are put up of timber and other inflam mable material Lights are handled carelessly and matehu are left llni around loose Other conditions obtain wlilih would not be tolerated in a Puropoan 01(3-. ncsldes, too, man' rliks are our Insured, which often leads to the con lenient fife'. In the Old World conditions are quite dlffirent. There are some towns and cities where conflagrations are almost unknown. Houses ars built of material which is pracllc all. fireproof The most rigid supervision is taken of grates, utoses, pipes and flues. When the soot is permitted to accumulate in tho chimney of a Londoner until it goes out in a dangerous flame, the next event Is the arrfkt of the owner, who has dared, through hit neg ligence, to thus endanger the propert and liees of other: The rule Is even more rigid in Paris and in Merlin In some Instances the use of eiplostee parlor matches is prohibited. The insurance nun pa more attention to the moral risk than is done In this country. r.xtra care as to kindling fires is observed, anil the supply of kerosene and other combustlblo oils aro kept In a fireproof stoiehouse. Tho skill, daring and courage iHnjila;ed by fin men In the saeing of life anl property cin not fall to exelte the wonder and applause of tho general public. In consequence, there is no de partment in a city's administration more cheer ful! and liberally supported than the fire de partment nd et much rennlns to be done for the fireman before he will have received due consideration and reward, when compared with the value of his service. some means should be provided 1 for pensioning the veterans of the department. In the lirger cities a provision is made ftr the disabled or retired fireman and his family. Hut nothing adequate to the need When the fireman is called upon to face death he eloes not 1 falter, but mshes Into danger for the sake of others without a thought as to the consequences to hlui'-elf It was onl' a few months ago, In nrookln, when the driver of a 6team fire engine elellberatel ran Ids engine into a trench to save the lives of a woman and child who stood, rooted to the ground with fear, directly in his path. The driver lost his life, but he saved the others. Hundreds of similar courageous feats, though not alwajs with the same direful result to the hero, are No. 2.-1NSU1HNCF. AND IOS. CITY. New oil; ....

I am cin electric lineman and have been for the last eight years. About two years ago I commenced to be troubled with dizziness in my head so bad sometimes that when I went up a pole I was like to fall off. About four months ago I was told to try Ripans Tabules and took three or four every day for two months before I could say I felt cured. Now I can climb the very highest pole without being the least giddy. I always carry the Tabules with me, taking one or two a day to keep me in trim.

ViuJitl AOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Ext iaor Contest He Scrailon Tribune Offers Unusual Induce ments ffoir Earnest Efforts ei tide Part of Active Young Persons 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 or ambitious, intelligent young men and women, and to gain their help have put into exe cution a plan that will interest every one. We are goinp; to give scholarships and other special re waids to the ten peisons 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. 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 point.
