Re-elect Tommy Daniels.
NO RULE Is more , generally
observed In the transaction
of private business than to
retain the employe whoso
service has been faithful, diligent and
elliclent. If you owned a store and
had under contract for three years
a clerk who during the period of his
engagement had been loyal to your
interests, industrious and punctual in
the discharge of his duties and popu
lar with your patrons, the conclusion
of the contract would find you not
only willing but anxious to enter into
a newibne and you would account
yourself fortunate to have the chance
to do so.
This Is precisely the relationship
which the public beats to Thomas P.
Daniels, or "Tommy," as his friends
affectionately call htm. The public is
his employer and during the three
years of his contract to serve the
public he has exhibited every quality
entitling him to the continued confi
dence of his employers. He Is accur
ate, businesslike, trustworthy and ac
commodating. His office presents an
open door to every Inquirer after in
formation and no man who asks a
question falls to receive at respectful
answer. The affalts of his office aro
kept up in first class shape, every
recoid Is In its place, every obligation
is accounted for; system and good
order prevail without exception.
Moreover, Mr. Daniels In this cam
paign standa as one of the represen
tatives of the younger element of the
Republican party; the sturdy, active
and enthusiastic young blood of the
party membership upon which a large
share of the burden of party activity
necessarily falls. He is esteemed by
every peisonal acquaintance, respected
by all regai dless of party lines and
a re-election would be in the nature
of a most appropriate reward of merit.
RtOhard Croker says that political
organization Is Tieccssaiy to prevent
anarchy. Some people, however, may
be of the opinion that Mr. Croker's
kind of organization Is liable to incite
anarchy.
m
The Morals of Scranton.
THERE appears to have been
a concerted effort of late on
the part of feverish writers
who furnish filling for the
scandal sheets of this vlclny to pro
tect the rakes, married nnd single,
from the wiles of the giddy feminine
class which it is asserted is largely in
the majority in the population. When
perusing one of these outbursts of In
dignation at the supposed prevalence
of Insidious crime tho credulous reader
might be potsunded to bellevo that the
average young man whoventuies upon
the thoroughfares of Hcrnnton, night or
dy, Is In greater danger than tho
companions of Ulysses who fell before
tlfb cijurms of Circe, nnd It positively
nuke? ono shudder to learn that tho
world a't le'njit the feminine portion of
Ity)s so wicked. According to theories
of :the 'heated writers who nio obliged
to'.cater to the diseased nilnds of pat
rons desiring something sensational
and licentious In literature, vounij
girls in short dresses, ns well as old
girls wth short hair, are wandering
about the city streets prepared to be
come the Delllahs of any thoughtless
men or boys who are foolish enough to
polio as, victims.
, Thlsjjtufc, wjille perhaps an amusing
Jn'terfnlh. circles as the adventures of
thie he6 of tho boy detective yellow
noyel can easily be analyzed as "bosh"
by any ono acquainted with tho city,
While eases of youthful depravity aro
undoubtedly on record, (ho apparent
effort on part of the jackal journalists
to;broduco tho Impression that the ma
jority of young women In Scranton
who nio obliged to earn their own
livelihood aro bad Is most despicable,
If there is any class that needs pro
tection from crime it Is the verv un
fortunate wage earners who cannot ap
pear upon the streets without being
the targets of ogling mashers or the
dyppeptla scandal mongeis und char
acter assassins who by covert hints
nnd knowing winks huil poison at ttw
innocent objects of their ill will, Tho
yotincf woman of attractive appear
ance who perhaps by frugality and
haul wotk has been able to purchase
a street garment of modern nnd nrlls
tlo dtit Is UBtinlly the especial object
for the attention of the masher and
the Hlamteier, and If she escapes otic
she Is almost certain to become the
victim of the other. It Is the tnlk of
thi'sev apologies for manhood rather
than the actions of the young women
that gives rise to the Idea that Scrnn
ton Is an Immoral city, nnd has driven
tunny Innocent women almost to do
spulr. If, the coiner loafers nnd Bcnn
dul breeding Journals'ot the city could
bo suppressed Huranton's reputation
for morality would probably compare
favorably with the best.
The strike situation has reached a
point where settlement can be easily
effected If wise counsels prevail.
Methodists and the Missions.
I IT SEBMS to be a matter of no
surprise, notwithstanding the
events of China durlnc the
summer past, that the Method
ist ministers, who recently assembled
In Chicago nt tho Rock River confer
ence had only one opinion as to the
missions of their church in the laud of
Confucius they must be maintained.
Indeed, it is probable that in the Meth
odist chuich throughout tho Untied
.States and the world there is just one
sentiment on this subject, nnd that
Is that where tho standard of the cross
hus been reaicd by missionary hands
there It must be uphold. Methodism,
In particular, ha? always been a mis
sionary religion. Missions to the
heathen were commenced land superin
tended by John Wesley nnd the mis
sionary spirit and fervor have con
tinued with tho church to the present
day.
In this connection, says the Chicago
Nous, it Is well, perhaps, to refute a
notion which has gained credence In
certain quarters as respects the Boxer
Insurrection in China. This has some
times been represented as a rising Im
pelled by a fanatical hatred of mis
sionaries and of the Christian religion.
While it undeniably took that form in
many instances, the missionaries of the
dfferent churches were not to blame
for the rising. The responsibility for
the rising and for outrages' which have
shocked tho civilized world should be
placed where it belongs with Russia,
Germany, England, France and Italy.
Previous to Russia's occupation of Port
Arthur, Germany's acquisition of Kla
ochau and the demands of the other
poweis for Chinese ports and snheies
of Influence, Christian missions In
China were flourishing, and there was
good promise that in time even China's
many millions might burst (the bonds
of Confucianism and nccept Christian
ity. Then came the war between
China and Japan and the revelation to
the world of tho weakness of the for
mer. Russia was the first to profit
by this knowledge, and the other
European powers were fast following
In her hteps, when theChlnese awak
ened to these aggressions nnd deter
mined to put a stop to them if pos
sible. In their ignorance they looked
upon the missionaries as merely the
foreuinncrs of armies of occupation,
and this assumption was not such a
violent ono when the exaction Ger
many demanded for the killing of one
or two missionaries is remembered.
What Is to be the future of missions
in China -it Is difficult at present to
say, further than that the efforts of
the churches will not be relaxed even
though circumstances have so unjustly
prejudiced the Chinese against the
Christian missionary. The latter may
not always have acted wisely, but ho
Is in no respect to be blamed In con
nection with the Boxer insurrection.
Possibly oven the Chinese in time may
come to realize this fact and in that
case there will be fewer difficulties la
the way of turning aside the millions
of Chinese from the degrading super
stition which has for thousands of
yeais maintained its ascendancy over
the Chinese mind.
Ex-President Harrison will make a
speech In Indiana during the last week
of the campaign. Piesldent Hairlson

welfare of the country did not cease
when he 'left the white house, and there

Hope of the Tagalos.
THERE IS no novelty In tes
timony which recites the
dependence of Filipino reb
els upon Bryanlsm, but it
is most emphatically light that it
should bo kept before the people. One
of their first duties now Is to say
whether they will sustain-or cast off
tho men who uro fighting under their
flag and risking their lives for tho
support of Ametlcan sovereignty over
territory belonging to America.
The latest witness against those who
hope to undermine nnd destroy that
sovereignty comes from Arthur T,
Penco, a volunteer who is now serving
In tho Philippines. This soldier in
writing to his parents says; "The
nntl-oxpanslonlsts nt homo havo sim
ply ruined all prospects of any peace,
ablp termination of the trouble hero,
nt least until after tho election. They
have discouraged our men and encour
aged' our enemies."
So infatuated nto the natives with
Demociatlo promises that they seem
to regard an enlistment nmong the
bushwhnckois of Agulualdo's murder
ous band of robbers as an enlistment
in tho Democratlo party. At least
Bryan is recognized as tho common
leader of American "nytl-imperlal-Ists"
and Tagalo Insurgents. Peaco
noticed that n plcturo of the Demo
cratlo candidate was ono of the orna
ments of a natlvo hut at Calamba, and
ho says that tho rebels and their sym
pathizers bellevo not only that Bryan
will be elected but that his followers
aro largely In the najorlty in this
country. That Is because (hey can
not understand tho speaking and
pamphleteering activity of the "aunt
ies" upon any other theory, Used as
they have been to a. despot lo leglme
they Infer that riotous speech signifies
i numerical superiority, Hence,
i&w&j
though the revolutionary literature
which they receive from this country
comes finm few and for the most part
unimportant sources, It Inspires them
with confidence nevertheless. Even
a treatise bv Atkln.ton which would
be laughed to scorn In the United
States Is conclusive In their eyes, nnd
liiynn and his platform have com
pleted the work which a little clique
of monomaniacs began.
Peaco closes his letter with an ac
count of the cowardly assassination
of Captain Murphy, a regular army
olllcer, by a native, und wo may dis
cover In this event the natural fruits
of "atitl-lmperlallBin." Whnt do the
American people think of such a har
vest? Times-Herald.
President Thompson of the Ohio state
university, in nn address on the ques
tion "Docs college education pay?" is
reported to havo said that "a college
education is an absolute guarantee
against poverty and distress." This
may be true In most cases, but there
are Instances whore It Is Just ns well
to have the college learning augmented
by sufficient muscle to wield a pick

Let Well Enough Alone.
(By Hon. Henry W. Palmer.)
WE SELL, EDGE tools In
Sheffield, run the under
ground electrical rail
way in London with
American machinery; our reapers
cut the golden grain on the
shores of the Baltic, and our locomo
tives plough across the steppes of Rus
sia, hauling the wheat of Siberia to the
Great Wall In China. Last year there
was mined In the world 550,000,000 tons
of coal. Of this the United States
mined 227,000,000 tons. England was
second nnd Germany third. We ex
ported 7,551,000 tons, which Is 80 per
cent, more than was ever exported in
any year before. We took more than
one-half of the British war loan of
10,000,000 and we maintain the gov
ernment credit at 2 per cent., while
England pays 3 1-2. Prosperity came in
good measure, "pressed down, shaken
together and running over."
Is this wonderful industrial improve
ment due to Republican policy and ad
ministration? Certainly. If financial
disaster and ruin were present, If men
were begging for work and children
crying for bread, our friends the enemy
would be swift to charge such condi
tions to Republican misrule. We have
the right, therefoie, to claim credit for
good if we could properly be charged
with bad times.
"Let well enough alone," Is a good
and safe maxim In business and poli
tics. Certain it Is that the advent of
Mr. Bryan as president of the United
States, surrounded by his combination
of Populist, Socialist, Free Silver, and
peisonal following, would not be apt to
Induce business men to enter new
fields of enterprise, or encourage capi
talists to venture upon the develop
ment of new industries. On the con
trary, should the calamity of his elec
tion fall upon the country the panic
and paralysis that In 183 followed the
second election of Mr, Cleveland nnd a
Democratic congress would seem like
a gentle zephyr compared to a devas
tating cyclone.
m
Henri de Bowitz, the famous critic
nnd correspondent of the London
Times, . predicts a general European
war. While de Blowitz certainly has
indications upon his side at present It
Is probable that time may demonstrate
that It' Is easier to criticize than to
successfully prognosticate.
Rumors to the effect that relief
funds are no longer necessary at Gal
veston nre erroneous. For months
hence the brave people who are striv
ing to overcome their misfortunes will
need assistance and contributions will
be gratefully received at any time.
Already the census man has found
over 528,000 manufacturing establish
ments, as against 322,638 In 1890. This
looks as though the trusts were not
crushing out individual enterprise at
such a great rate.
Mr. Bryan thinks Indiana will re
verse its election results of 1896 and
1S9S. Mr. Bryan evidently believes that
the public mind Is as changeable aa
his views.
Kwang Su cheerfully rebukes himself
and others for the Boxer outrages In
China, but the old empress continues
to saw wood In silence.
Four years of a Republican adminis
tration have mude hives of industry
out of more than 350,000 haunts of idle
ness and soup-houses.

THE PRE8IDENTIA1 OUTLOOK.

' In nil pwlderdUl election eampdlgM the
country ReU Into condition 'ot uncertainly

em on both aides are lew confident. They fully
appreciate tho uncertainties of the popular vote,
and more especially the unccrUlntlea of the cleu.
tout vote. President McKlnley ra elected In
lSOd by unusually large majorities In the atalea
that oted tor him. It is conceded that he will
not receive m' large a popular otc, and the
lUMtlon la really what effect the Iom aure to be
sustained by the Republicans will luuo upon the
electoral vote. It 1 hIso bclleird by obvnlng
politician that, though he' will loc In the ag

In the South, Mr. Bryan gaining in
the Middle West and Kast. To get an Idea
of the probable result, these tables ba been
made, showing tho rtatrn In which no change Is
expected and those which are rendered doubtful
by being hopefully contested tiy the party that
was In tho minority In 1806. 8om ot these

The McKlnley states contested by the Demo
crats include New Yo.'k, with 30 electoral votes.
New York is somewhat erratic, but atea with a
great deal of conscience. In 1806 it gate a plu
rality of 250,000 against Bryanlsm. It Is extreme
ly unlikely that a change of nearly 20 per cent,
can be made in four years; yet this would be
required to turn the state ocr to Bryan. It is
quite safe, therefore, to put New York in the
McKlnley column.
A change of little more than 5 per cent, would
turn Ohio, which was Republican, but tery close
in 1802; but Ohio is McKinley's own state, and
Ohioans generally Rtand together. There was a
factional fight in the state in 18M which cut
down McKinley's majority, but now there is no
such contest within the party. Kor tho present,
howeter, Ohio may be classed as doubtful.
Illinois is much more strongly Republican, and
in spite of the Anarchistic vote of Chicago,
should be put in the Republican column. There
is not the slightest reason for doubting the Re
publicanism of Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota or
Wisconsin. Wc may add, therefore, to the 07
electoral votes for McKlnley:
New York 30
llllrois 24
Michigan 1
Minnesota 9

103
Thia makes a total ot 203 tolerably well as-
Hired to be cast for the re-election of President
McKlnley in a total electoral tote of 447, of
which 2241 aie necessary for a choice.
In precisely the same way it may be Inferred,
from prclous elections, that Idaho, Montana
and Nevada will vote for Bryan:
Idaho 3
Montana 3
Nevada ...... 3
This bilnga the Bran total up to 145.

Ohio thus becomes a pivotal stale. If carried
for McKlnley it would elect him, although all
others should go for Bryan. McKlnley will
probably earry West Virginia, reducing his neida
to thirteen electoral otea, but lie can get these
(without a combination ol states) from only
Ohio, Indiana or Kentucky, Kentucky will al
most surely be Democratic. Indiana and Ohio
remain. Indiana was Republican In 189(1 by only
18,000, and is always a close state. McKinley's
prospects are good in Kansas and also in South
Dakota and Wjomlng. The combination ol cither
of theso states with Kansas would elect him,
cten though he should losa Indiana and Ohio.
Nebraska also is a Republican possibility. It
will bo seen, how cm, from this analysis that,
conceding New York to the Republicans, the
re-election of President McKlnley is by no means
assured.
Special attention should be given to Ohio, In
diana, Kansas, Nebraska, West Virginia, Mary
land and Delaware as among the contested or
doubtful slates, which may turn the scale one
way or tho other.

AN ARMY OFFICER OUTLINES THE
SITUATION IN THE PHILIPPINES
Lieutenant John J. Kennedy, of the Twenty-seventh United States In
fnntry1, who was formerly a captain of one of the volunteer regiments,
has just returned from the Philippines, where he has served In the cap
acity of an army officer for fifteen months. His regiment, on Its ar
rival In the Philippines, was first stationed on the north defences of the
city. Lieutenant Kennedy had abundant opportunity for intelligent ob
servation of the conditions that prevailed In the islands and the mutual
attitude of the natives and the American authorities there. Of these con
ditions he said in part:
"The natives' conception of government is based upon what they
saw and learned from their contaot with the Spaniards. They cannot
understand the American constitutional right of Criticising the acts of
the government! and when they hear of the Antl-Imperlal leagues in
America they begin to think that our government's policy in living out
its obligations under the treaty of Paris is In direct opposition to the will
of the great majority of the people. That they know of the existence of
the Antl-Imperlal league is established beyond a doubt. I have found in
the houses of insurgents letters from one to the other, in which it was
clearly announced that the fight need only be kept up until after elec
tion, that the people of America were with Aguinaldo, and would prove
It at the coming presidential election. That the natives believe this be
yond doubt is evident to all who have been in the islands and under
stand the true condition of affairs. In my opinion between now and
Nov. 6 we will hear of more attacks
been heard of in many months.
"When I was in the Philippines
of having very highly developed republican instincts, nor Is it charged
against him that he understands much about what constitutes a republic
or its institutions. The nearest approach he gets to it is that he bases
his life pretty much on the philosophy of one of our prominent New
York citizens. 'Aggie' is in the business 'for his own pocket all the
time.'
"Naturally the inquiry will arise,
judgment is, the outcome of it all will
They will assume, as soon as they aro
ernment adapted to their traits of character, which will be in all things
republican in form, which in turn will warrant protection to life and
property; there will be a thorough development of all that is good in
the race, and at the same time, incidentally with the opening up of the
Orient under new conditions, the islands will be to the people of the
United States of great advantage,
of China and Japan, thus enabling us to take advantage of the 'open
door' for which the administration contends. Thus it is evident that
the advantages will be shared by both Filipinos and Americans. And
all this will be accomplished without any tinge of Imperialism taint
ing the Institutions of our country.
"One word more and I am through. Suppose congress decided to turn
over the Philippines to the Insurgent leaders, the murderers of Lawton,
Egbert and 8totsenberg, what would the result beP A state of anarchy
would immediately ensue. Manila, the objective point of the lawless,
would be sacked and probably burned; those Tagalos who have re
mained loyal to ub would be at once murdered; the Maccabebes, men,
women and children, would be exterminated; the Igorrotes, who worked
with the army, would meet the same fate, while a bloody war' would
begin with the southern tribes, more especially with the Mahometan
Moros, that for slaughter would have no parallel in the world's history.
Think you we would be living up to the principles of our much vaunted
high civilization to give encouragement and excuse to such a condi
tion? , Depend upon it, however, such a condition would not be for long;
a very short space of time would elapse between the shamefaced depart
ure of the last American soldier and the entry of one of the great Eu
ropean bulldogs who hunger for a share of the good things now in our
grasp."
SENATOR HANNA'S EPIGRAMS.
"What a remarkable acrobatic feat William
J. Bryan performed when he proposed to extend
tho Monroe Doctrine to the far East. Think of
it! Talk about imperialism! What could be
more imperialistic than maintaining an army
and navy in the East to protect Aguinaldo in
his proposed government?"
"AH that any man needs to Inquire ot himself
today upon the issues in this campaign is what
is my best interest? what is the best interest
for my wife and children? what is the best in
terest for my country? and ho will vote the He
publican ticket."
"Bryan puts bis issues like game cocks into
the pit, one at a time, and fights them one at a
time for all they aro worth. Ills impel iallsm
rooster has been everlastingly thrashed, and is
dead."
"Will the people of this country swip Mc
Klnley, whose record shows what he has done,
for Bryan, whose record shows nothing done?"
"Bryan was nominated because he was the
only man on whom all elements ol socialism,
populism and anarchy could unite."
"It is a business proposition, whether or not
the people ot this country aro going to under
mine the basis of our prosperity."
"There is not a principle or policy discussed
In thia campaign that the people do not know
more about than does Bryan.
" "If Brjan is elected a hurricane of disaster
will sweep the country and carry away every
vestige of prosperity."
"Boiled down, it is free silver and free trade
on ono side and prosperity and development on
tho other."
'Tree silver and free trade would consign this
government to oblivion."

A. gentleman who delights in tho game of whist and belloves'in playing
it quietly and making it aomewhat a matter of business, recently, whita
visiting a sister ono evening, took a hand in a family gamo, and had for
his partner tho Bald sister, who is hia very opposite in temperament audi
enjoys cracking jokes and making pert speoclies. As tho gamo woro on
the urothor becamo irasciblo nnd almost exasperatod by her continued
laughter and light talk. Ho callod out emphatically at last, "Come, pay
attention to tho game, don't laugh so much;" and sho answered, "Wlmt
you want is a lllpans Tabula ; take ono and you can laugh, too." Sho there
upon took out of her pockot a vial of the Tabules and gave him one, which
ha swallowed aa a sort of penanco for his petulance. A fuw weeks after a
friend who had been present at tho card party, meeting him on tho atroot,
asked, after the usual greeting, "How about the Ripons?" His answer
was, "First rato,"and then ho said seriously, "That Tabulewoa swallowed
as a joke, perhaps, but liipaus 'lobules and I have become friends. I' per
ceived a lieneflt from that one, so I bought somo and have continued their
use. They havo garnished me from top to bottom. I guess I don't talk
and laugh as much as Amelia does, but I laugh more than X used and
feel in better spirits all tho time." ,
