The Republican Danger.
T SnilMS proper to repent that
only one thing now appears to
stand. In the way of republican
success In November, and t'liat
Is overconlldenee. The mass of ltepub
Hrnns are sn busy with their personal
affairs nnd feel so mho that MeKlnley
xvlll win that they ate nr-gli-cUntf most
of the coninion precautions. On the
other hand, the Democrats are more
unltvd than four years ago. Jinny
sound money Demoernts take the ,s,tme
view that over conlldent llepiiljlleans
do, nnd, nsMitnliig Hint MeKlnley nnd
the gcild stnndard are safe nnywny,
they consider It peisonally iinneeessary
to step outside tbelr party traces; and
In addition to all tills, the success in
life of business men xvhii have accuiim
lated wealth and who In the main are
Kcpiiblleans because the llepubllcan
party Is the party of notion, Is used by
Denioornt'ie orators and editors to cre
ate envy among citizens who have not
succeeded so well, and the very pios
perlty which has characterized the
nffalis of the nation under the MeKln
ley administration Is thrown against It
in the .socialistic argument for an equal
division.
The history of politics shows that It
is much easier to excite popular Inter
est In n campaign year when business
conditions are unfavorable than when
those conditions itro fAvorable. "When
our ordinary affairs nie going wrong
we concern ouiselves 'with the problem
of Uniting out what the matter is and
how to apply the lemedy. Hut when
the business wo nre engaged In Is pro
ceeding smoothly, with easy collections
and comfortable margins of profit com
ing In without visible effort, then it
Is natural for mankind to let outside
interests slide, and especially to keep
out) of active political woik or worry.
In 1S92, after one of the most prosper
ous ndmliilstintlons in our history
3'rcsldent Harrison was defeated for
re-election Why? l'.utly, of course,
because he had alienated Inllucntlal
members of his own party, u clrcum
Ftance not tepeated In the case of Pres
ident MeKlnley. Hut moio especially
because the business Interests of the
country, being prosperous, were Indif
ferent or apathetic, nnd also because
a strlko at Homestead came Just' In
time to give the socialists a leVer to
use on the envious and discontented.
The avidity with which Sir. Hryan and
nil his colleagues are seizing upon the
present nnthraclto coal strike for a
similar purpose should warn Republi
cans against a repetition of their fatal
indifference of eight years ago.
Victory in November, if It comes,
will have to be fought for and won In
the teeth of desperate opposition. Lay
ing down will simply mean defeat.
General Chaffee may be excused If
he should object to the diplomatic
turn of affairs In Pekln which rele
gates him from general of an tinny to
chief of police.
Responsibility Without Authority
UNDr.rv Til" Monroe doctrine
the poweis of Hurope aie
forbidden to seize the terrl
tojy of Cuba for purposes
of colonization and It Is equally cer
tain that public opinion In this coun
try would not toletato nn nlllnnco be
- tween free Cuba nnd a foreign power
whereby the strategic advantages pos
sessed by Cuba at tho mouth of the
Gulf of Mexico nnd near tho entrance
to tho coming trans-Isthmian canal
would lis placed at the disposal of that
t foreign power in the event of a diffi
culty between it nnd tho United
States Set General ritzhugh Lee
says:
The "revolutionary party," which lias been
largely successful In the recent elections In
Cuba, desires Immediate independence, without
my inrt of protectorate, control or supervision
by tho United Statu, and the immediate with
drawal, of the American troops. The more con
servative people, merchants and business men,
many ot whom aro Spanish, and the Cubans of
some wraith and substantial business inttresU,
together with the foreigners, ol whom there are
9 many different nationalities, desire continuance
i of the supervision ol tho United States. The
United (States undertook the responsibility for
the establishment ot u stable form ot govern
ment, and is pledged to the protection of the
Ilrltlih, German, I'tcnth and other foreign sub
jects residing and doing business In Cuba. If
tho Cubans form an rntliely Independent gov
ernment, rejecting all mporviston or control by
tba Nulled SUtcjj ,ud. llo .Lulled feutfs, ac-
nujevelnff, withdraws Its troops relinquishes
all authority, a question arises as to the guar
anteed protection ol foreign Interest. II any
disorder hould arise, and foreign subjects should
be injured and foreign Interests suffer, all re
sponsibility belne abandoned by the United
Main, tilt power whose subjects Here Injured
fir whose Intermix Mere threatened tvcuVI un
doubtedly lend war vessels, perha many ol
them, to the ports ol Cuba to Insure the protec
tion which no no longer cave, and to compel
repiratlon II Injury hid been done. You under
stand tvhr.t thhi would mean?
The consequences of r.lvlng uncurbed
conttol of the public nftalrs of Cuba
to (ho Irresponsible nnd seditious ele
ment now uppermost In Cuban poli
tics are simply not tolerable and must
under no clrcumstnnces be assumed.
The United States cannot so easily
escape Its just responsibilities. So
long as present obligations remain
upon It for the preservation of prop
el ty tights both native and foreign
nnd for the protection of American
Interests against the menace of un
stable native rule, lesponMbllity must
not be divorced fiom authority. The
Teller resolution, However applicable
to ultimate conditions, Is at this time
n serious mistake, doing .no good to
the real Interests of Cuba but simply
encouraging agitation and unrest. To
tepent this blunder In the Philippines
would be unaccountably asinine.
The announcement that treo plnnt
Ing Is to bo vigorously pursued In tho
parks of Pittsburg calls attention to
the fact that there Is necessity for
moio attention to this subject at Nay
Aug. While natute has generously en
dowed Scranton's public park with fol
inge In some localities there Is sMIl
need for more shade about tho pleas
uie ground. Tree planting, which
should be among the first of Improve
ments, is not In line with other evi
dences of progress at Nay Aug,
The Law Defined.
AT VOItK on Monday, in hold
ing under $1,000 bond to
keep the peace for one year
a participant In a strike
who bad used threatening language
ngnJnst men at work, Judge Stewart
cleat ly laid down the law governing
cases of this character. Ills words
should be preserved for dally icference.
He said:
"The moment the union crosses
the lino of persunsion it becomes a
transgrtssor of the law. Anything
that looks. like threats or intimida
tion or irritation is going beyond the
bounds of order nnd the law. A mnn
has n right to work at any lawful oc
cupation without interference from
anybody. The union may send pick
ets theie and uso nny reasonable ar
gument it chooses to get non-union
men to stop their labor. But the mo
ment they begin foul epithets and
menaces they are guilty of a breach
of tho peace, and when the leader of
tho gang of pickets calls on them to
'line up' against non-union men, it is
good ground for bringing an action
for surety of the peace, nnd when
cases of that kind come into this
couit they will be dealt with severe
ly." The Judge denounced the use of the
term "scab" as applied by men on
strlko to men at work. It constituted,
he said, a breach of the peace. No -set
of men have any right to give up their
employment nnd then, by force, intimi
dation or abusive epithet, prevent other
men from taking the employment thus
vacated. The freedom of the citizen
disappears when- this Is done and In
place of It we have tyranny.
I'nclo Mark Hanna Is not Issuing
any challenges for debates upon the
political topics for discussion, but there
seems no question that ho Is ora
torlcally equipped to hold up the ar
gument with any who may apply.
As to "nilitarlsm."
(lly (ieneral Ihomis M. Anderson, Ititlred.)
FIItST, let me ask, what would
bo a large army In our coun
try of nearly 4,000,000 of
square miles, of a population
of 7C,000,000 at home and 0,000,000 In our
dependencies, nnd with an estimated
wealth of $05,000,000,000? If the Philip
pines were sunk In the sea how large
nn army should we have as an Insur
ance proposition that Is, to provide
against loss by foreign nggresslon or
domestic turbulence? The premiums
paid to Insure against flro alone last
year nmounted to SIGS.ITS.COO. Is na
tional honor and secuilty of less value?
Hut let us examine the proposition
of the assumed premise, that militar
ism is a menace to liberty. How long
would our standing army stand with
out an annual appropriation by con
gress? Colonel Hryan seems to fear
that our people nre becoming enamored
of Imperialism
"A monster id o frightful mien,
As to be hated need but to be seen.
Hut en too oft, familiar with her face,
We flrht endure, then pity, then unbrace."
Yet, admitting that we can "lie
brought to conquer and oppress other
peoples, how long would any president
live who tried despotic rule nt home?
AS'ould he not lose his well-beloved
head sooner than Charles I or Lewis
XVI? AVhat teally tree people ever
lost their liberties by mllltailsm? AVas
Israel enslaved or freed by the swords
ot Joshua and Gideon? AVas Greece
enslaved or freed by Marathon and
Salamls? Was Home enslaved by Its
legions? How much liberty had It left
when the Pretorlans set up the empire
at auction? How much liberty did
France have before Louis XI organ
ized the first standing army? lias the
English army ever conspired ncalnst
tho liberties of Kngland? Has our
regular army ever been lacking In loy
alty or patriotism? Has the Ameri
can people ever shown any fear of mil
itarism? If so, how has it happened
that they have elected twelve presl
denta with military antecedents? Head
over the roster AVashlngton, Monroe,
Jackson, AV. II. Harrison, Taylor,
Pierce, Lincoln, Grant, Hayes, Garfield,
Benjamin Harrison and William Me
Klnley. It la not claimed that they
wero all professional soldiers, but that
they petformed military senice in
actual war. Can any other twelvo men
be named who stand higher In the nf
feotlons and regard of the American
people?
If Colonel Bryan Is elected president
ho will bo the thirteenth, for tho most
honorable episode In his honorable
cartuj- la that ho aasw.ered jt3 coun
try's call. I wish he could have re
ported to mo In tho Philippines. If ho
could have stood with me 'one night
near tho cnmpllre ot ono ot our regi
ments nnd heard tho men singing:
"Chrlt died to make men better,
We will fight to make them free;"
he would not, I am sure, have now
such nn acute fear of militarism.
Tho consumption of wheat per capita
In tho United States was:
Jlushels.
Under. Cleveland nnd Tree
Trade, 1800 0.41
Under McKinley and Protec
tion, 1890 5.05
In favor of Protection 2.54
Under prosperous conditions every
man, woman nnd child In the United
States eats over 2 1-2 bushels of wheat
a year more than In Democratic times
of distress.
m
Here Is ono substantial reason why
Michigan Is going Hepubllcan this
year: Since 189G, deposits In Detroit
banks show tho following Increases:
State banks, commercial deposits,
$0,4,14,937.51; stnte banks, savings de
posits, $9,858, 403.82: total for state
banks, $1C,2S3,343.33. Increase In de
posits of Detroit national banks, $3,9fll,
817.9G; grand total, $20,215,161.79.
In 1S99, under the llepubllcan policy
of Protection, the people of tho United
States consumed 452,470,332 bushels of
wheat. They consumed only 232,S15,04l
bushels In 1S9G when our Industries
wero paralyzed by Democratic Free
Trade. The difference of 219,635,291
bushels shows why American farmers
have been paid better prices for their
wheat.
Another Infallible Indication that the
Boer collapso has reached a stage be
yond revival Is the fact that Mauch
Chunk Is no longer claimed as the
birth place of Oom Paul.
England's reply to the German note
on tho Chinese affair has nlready
aroused the anti-Anglo-American al
liance party from temporary repose.
AA'Ith the example of Cuba nt hand
no tianco medium will probably bo re
quired to suggest the proper policy In
dealing wltlr tho Philippines.
It begins to look as though Mr.
Hryan had given up hopes of every
thing save New York.
HARD ON THE MINER.
lidltor of The Tribune
Sir: It must be anything but gratifying to
the mlrcM, their les, tum and diughtcis to
bi bold In some of the Xiw York and Philadel
phia JnurniK lircul.'iltd about here, what pur
ports to be .1 sample of their lountenantes,
their attlru and general nuke-up.
To lL-e a si nig phiasc, "they cannot be stutk
upon thtimeHc-i." 'Jhey n,ipcar to be anything
but pielty. Iho daughttis, many of whom arc
Jntly proud of their fair f..ei and bewitching
in inner. Hunt liluh with chainc when they are
Made to mo theiuehe a others sec thim,
judging from the pictorial representations in
thcM- pipers. And the miners' wives, instcadof
desiribing her as the good housewife, tidy and
well gloomed as she really i, these ihille rep.
resent her to be sloienly, standi and cadaver
ous with a dirty child in one arm and a bag
of coal upon the other nnd with all clothed in
lags, neglected and unloved.
What the puipoc ot thl false representation
is It is diftVuIt te eomprehend, unlps it ma
be to try to ereite K.un,nthy. If tint ts the
purpose it utterly fails. If It Is for the purpose
cf Increasing the circulation ol these papers!
among tho mlneis, it would seem lint they
ought not to publish such oflonsive pictures.
Sucli libels circulated concerning our industri
ous inhabitants who compose puch a laige class
of euir city, aro not the ery best tiling for the
town and the community; especially now when
our city i just emerging fiom a city of the
third to the second class, and slnee we would
have the woild believe that S'cranton is one of
the important miinieipalitic of the union. It
Is fal-e to report that we have but two classes,
bloated capitalists on the one side with neither
heart nor soul and i starting, ignoiant, homely
class upon the other. Such icports ought to bo
nquelrlietl b"causc they aie as untrue as tiny
aio oUen-ite to all ilas.se in this city,
o
It is false nnd misleading to repiescnt the
miner and ids family as unkempt, dirty and
homely. The American miner are not of that
sort depleted In these sensational pipers They
arc generally dressed well and in modern Ftjle.
Their larders are well supplied with tho neers
snles of life and more frequently the luxuries.
Of couri-e there Is in thi community, like etery
other centre of Industry, a certain class who,
whether the'y earn much or little, prefer to lite
in squalor, but tho majority of the miners
hate good and substantial homes, furnished with
up-to-date furniture that exhibits good taste and
Judgment. Their sons are well represented in
the learned profession at the bar and in modi.
eine, and a great part of the (list bu-lnes men
are miners' sons and miners themselves Their
daughter compn-e soino of our most trusted
nnd competent te'aehen in the public schools,
whilo their good looks and winsome wajs arc
prnteibial. As a class, they compare favorably
with the best In the community in education,
refined manners and appearanee. They are alive
to all the important ejuestions of the day.
Again, the people of tlds city and commun
ity would not let any one of its cltljen starve
nor go unrlad either In times of pinsperity or
depression. A an Instance of how the mining
community Is got to be misunderstood or, at
least, misrepresented, I call attention to an
illustration recently published In one cf those
jellow journals. A woman was represented as
tolling in the mines, canjing upon her tender
back a load of coal. If any such thing ever
occurred, It is news to me after some twenty
j ears residence In this city and acquaintance In
and about the mines dining that time. I take
It that such employment Is not tolerated by the
cempanhs. In any event such a thing has
never been necessary. I recall an Instance of an
Intelligent lady who for the first tlmo visited
our city a year ago and who looked In vain
for den and cave in the earth where she hon
estly believed, from reports, dwelt our miners
and their families. Such false Impressions like
the foregoing are being circulated by itllv,
driveling novelists, sentimentalists and amateur
kodak fiends.
o
It Is not gratifying to the miner nor the
other eltlren of Siranton to see depicted one
or more ot our townsmen In the toggery ol a
starving subject of India or a Tagal so altered
as to represent a Scranton miner. If this I
pleasing to the miners and their families, then
I very much mistake their character and their
tastes. O. II. Bopcr.

To a country like this an army ol 100.000 men
Is nothing. Recalled from the Orient to seat a
presidential usurper and landing at San Francisco
It would never reach the Missouri river. Dis
patched Irora some central point to prevent the
people from arming and drilling luhl the
thought Is too absurd.
Count tho counties In the United States and
sec how many men It could spare to occupy each.
Number the towns big enough to have gun stores
and see how many soldiers would be required to
keep tho people Irom arming though virtually
they arc armed already. How many iron works
and machine shops would have to be seized to
keep (he American people from making cannon?
And what would the state militia be doing?
One hundred thousand men a peril to this re
public! lliey could not hold the city ol New
York. To our own 73,000,000 people an army ol
l.txio.oou men not having the gift of ubiquity
Would be a plaything. Fancy one soldier trying
to subdue an American township of seventy-file
Inhabitants ol whom every second man owns a
firearm and knows how to use It! And to give
In miniature tho condition that would obtain
wllh an army of 100,000, a you rannot divide

M'KINLEYISMS.
"We love peace we are not a military nation;
but whenever the time o peril comes the bub
wark of this people Is the patriotism of Its cltl
reus; and this nation will be safe for all time
because seventy-fit c millions of people lote It
and will give up their lives to sustain and up
hold It."
"Can we leave these people, who, by the for
tunes of war .and our own acts, are helpless and
without gotcrnment to chaos anil anarchy, after
no have ilestroyed the only gotcrnment they
hate had? listing destroyed their gotcrnment,
it Is the duty of the Amcilcan people to protlde
for them a better one."
"Patience, moderation, sell-control, knowledge,
elniacter will surely win jou victories and real
ize the best aspirations ol tour people."
"There can be no Imperialism. Those who
fear It are against it. Those who have faith
In the republic are against It."
"Nothing In the world command more respect
than skill ind industry, Lvcry avenue is open
to them."
"We hive but one duty to peifonn, and that Is
to stand by the fhg."
