Look Out for This Han.
f "IIERE HAS been seen about
I Pcranton and the towns in
A. Lackawanna county for, tho
past two or three weeks a
man about sixty, white-haired, white
bearded, whlte-moustnched, about
five foot ten in height, heavy build,
dark-eyed, and suggestive of the stage
villain of comic opera. He speaks
good English, but with a foreign ac
cent. He spends much of his time
talking to the fruit sellers, a fact
that is eNplained when it is said that
he is Slgnor Celso Caesar Moreno, a
native of Italy.
Slgnor Moreno appeared In Wash
ington, C C., about twenty years ago
as the promoter of a scheme to estab
lish a telegraphic cable system be
tween San Francisco and Honolulu.
In that capacity lie sought to obtain
a government subsidy to make Ills
scheme t success. The slgnor was
once a somewhat prominent resident
of the Hawaiian islands. It was in
the palmy days of King Kalakua, the
predecessor on the Hawaiian thrones
of Queen Lil. Kalakiui was a very
enterprising monarch within the nar
row Jimlts of ids insular kingdom. He
played a stiff game of poker and was
ready at any time to wager the throne
of his nncestors upon fours of a kind.
Whether because Slgnor Jlorena wna
able to teach his royal highness now
tricks, or some other cause more or
less discreditable to both parties, it
is a fact that the Italian Signor
gained the confidence of his chocolate
.colorcd majesty so fully that he
named the signor as the prime minis
ter of the Hawaiian kingdom. When
this appointment became known to
tho merchants and other leading peo
ple of the islands thens was a great
uproar. The protest was so great that
Kalakua was constrained to dismiss
liis new cabinet without delay. Thus
Moreno was prime minister of the
kingdom of Hawaii for one consecu
tive day. He managed to extort from
tlie king his end of the cable conces
sion from San Francisco to Honolulu,
nnd with tills in his grip and little
else save an unlimited amount of
nerve, Moreno hied him to Washing
ton, where ho has been ever since try
ing to capitalize ills concession at
tho expense of tho United States,
In the meantime, lie endeavored to
become, a figure In Italian diplomacy.
In this effort lie run foul of the Ital
ian minister, Harou Fava. That
diplomat did not take kindly to Mo
reno's efforts to become tho whole
thing, the power behind the accredited
representative of Italy in the United
Slates. Slgnor Moreno thereupon be
gan to circulate In every way avail
able to him; by speech and through
tho medium of newspaper Interviews
tillf'sorts of tales derogatory of TJaion
Faj'u. No attention was paid to liiin
fori a long time. ' Finally, emboldened
liyjhls anpaicut Immunity from being
ciHed to account, he over-shot thi
nuqk nnd was called to book -with a
suddennesJs.that'doaed him. lie was
IndjcteVfoV'crfmlnUl libel by a grand
Jury of the .pistrlct, of Columbia,

tended, to ninety duys In the jail of
the; District, all for libelling Huron
Fava, "the" Italian minister. Ho served
his sentence, Since then he has been
careful how he attempted to exploit
himself lit tho District of Columbia

Talk Va. Performance.
nr-lUJllK IS no enterprise and
I no performance not liable
.1 to attack. The easiest
thing under the sun is to
sit oti the fence and crltlslzo the mov
ing procession. The man who does
nothing but stand mound and say
harsh things about his more indus
trious neighbors may, If nimble of
tongue, acquire notorhty among men
of his ilk, but he Is not held in much
esteem by the sensible portion of the
community. By dint of practice he
usually achieves proficiency in pub
lic speech, but when the children are
to be clothed and fed very often the
neglected wife has to take In wash
ing. As with Individuals, so with parties.
The Democratic party today displays
undeniable piollclency in criticizing
what the administration has done; its
pictures of perils to come if it doesn't
Immediately get put back into olllce
are drawn with a skill which thero
is no denying, and its endeavors to
convince the worklngman by a din
of calamitous walls that If! has tho
only sure-thing panacea for existing
ills, represent a conspicuous illustra
tion of ingenuity misapplied. But
the facts are dead against its high
sounding professions. Only eight
years ago it was given a chance to
try its hand and it made the biggest
botch in the hiRtory of free govern
ment. Talk is cheap and it Is the Demo
cratic party's only asset. Talk never
yet kindled a factory lire or raised a
pay loll. While the miners of our val
ley were striking for their share of
Kepubllcan prosperity, Bryan and his
colleagues talked in tho miners' be
half whenever they got the chance.
Yet all the eloquence that they spilled
and all the verbal horrois that they
spawned didn't buy so much as a
pound of food to place before tho
miner's family. On the other hand,
when Mark Hanna and the Republi
can leaders took hold of the matter,
which they did) without any brasst
band flourishes, the stubborn heads of
the big coal roads soon bobbed In as
sent to a ten per cent, increase and
this million or more a year in extra
wages is the visible difference be
tween Democratic talk and Republi
can performance.
But, we are told, Hanna did it for
political effect. Yes, and Bryan talked
it for political effect. The important
distinction is that while Bryan's bab
ble buttered no bread, Hanna's deeds
did the business. It makes no differ
ence to the miner getting his ten per
cent. Increase whether Hanna used
a hammer to crack a plutocrat's head
or whether he simply talked common
sense to men who were not In touch
with the true facts. The miner gets
his point and for his victory lie owes
nothing to the Democratic party,
while to tho Republican party he is
Indebted in more ways than one.
If the Hon. Webster Davis has re
ceived no compensation In advance for
his campaign efforts against the gov
ernment that nourished him, it is clear
ly evident that he is nursing a grudge.
Mr. Bryan sat down to a "$12 per
plate" banquet at the Iloffinun House

Who 0,ot tlie Prosperity ?
iKiom tho PlillJilelplil.i Pro.)
- - THO GOT tho prosperity?
Mr. Bryan Is asking the
question. Some work
Ingmen are making tho
same inquiry. The investigation
made by Colonel Carroll D. Wright,
United States commissioner of labor,
into the rate of wages in manufac
tures for ten yenrs past shows who
got the prosperity. Labor got it.
Wages are for 11)00 at the highest
point of tho century. Interest on as
sured Investments at the lowest point,
Absolute security, a United States
bond, has sunk to 2 per cent. Interest
tho lowest of tho century. Average
manufacturing wages In 1900 uro at
the highest point, or l'rt.43, If tho next
highest, In lS'Jl, are put at 100. Labor,
lather than capital, has reaped the
harvert of MeKlnley prosperity.
The total yearly wages of manufac
turing operatives In 1S30 wore $2,171,
000.000 nnd 1E01 was the same general
level. Taking Colonel Wright's rela
tlvo rates, which were 100 In ISM,
97.SS In 1b'J3 and 103.42 In 1900, and this
aggregate of wages had dropped In
1S95 to $1,125,000,000, having lost Slfi,
OOC.000, the price paid for free trade
and tho threat of silver basis for the
currency. By 1900 the rale had ilsen
to 103,42. Measured on the aggregata
annual pay of 1S90, this meant a
growth of $74,000,0110, From the low
est point In 1S'J." this was an Increase
In tlie annual wago distribution to the
manufacturing operatives of the coun
try In 1900, as compared with 189.", of
$120,000,000.
Taking tho whole manufacturing
plant and product of the country and
leckonlng on the basis of Its size In
ISltO, mid the advance as bhown by
Colonel Wright's figures for tho bamo
number of men and on the same pro
duct would be for a year $120,000,000
added to yearly wagos by MeKlnley
Prosperity from 1S9"i to 1900. But tho
number of men and the product was
not the same. It had grown one
fourth to oue-httlf. Tho meusuro of
growth and tho measure of yearly
wages in all manufactures Is the raw
material used.
In 1895 this country made 9,410,308
tons of plfe. In 1S99 It made 13,620,703
J tons and In 1000 will make abwut
11,000,000. Here Is 11 giowth oC one
hnlf. Where In tSWi 2,371,000 cotton,
bales fed our mills In 1S99 It took 3,
1)32,000 bales, or over a quarter moie.
Our Imports of law silk rose from 7,
074,810 pounds In 18?S to 11,208,310
pounds In the Usual year 1900, or on
advance ot almost one-hair. Our Im
port of Bulla rubber rose In the puw
way from 39,741,007 pouiulH In 1S95 to
49,377,13S Pounds In WOO, or one-llfth
more. With the exception of wool,
where the consumption of raw ma
terial has fallen, this Is true of ull our
factories; and of sill trades. The raw
lnntrrlnl rnnqliiiieil I111M linen from
nnc-half to one-fourth, and the tabor
required and the wages paid have also
risen In gross amount from one-half
to one-fourth.
Two advances have come. The rate
ot wnges has risen. The total amount
of wanes has advanced because the
number of those employed has In
creased. Where In 1893 $2,123,000,000
was paid In yearly wages In manu
factures the advance In the rate of
1901 meant an Increase of $120,000,000.
This was noL all. The gross overturn
of raw material had grown one-fourth
fn one-half, and this meant an in
crease In the aggregate annual wugo,
duo to new work, of from $300,000,000
to $1,000,000,000. Some trades got more
of this Increusc and some less. Tho
woolen trade got least of nil. Tho
Iron and steel trade got most oil all.
On the rise In rate over 1893 labor got
$120,000,000. On tho increase In output
labor got In Increased annual wages
from $300,000,000 to $1,000,000,000. This
Is where MeKlnley prosperity has
gone.
In 1893, under Democratic admin
istration, our favorable trade balance
u-na s7.-,.Kr.s.2no. TJurlnir the. last three
years under the Republican policy of
expansion In the world's markets, our
valuable trade balance has averaged
more than $503,000,000 each year. This
means more work for tho mills ana
more work for American labor.
The Blnghnmton Board of Health
attempted to kill the germs In one of
the city school hottsca the other day
by burning sulphur. But for the
efforts of the lire department they
would have succeeded beyond all ex
pectations. They have an effective
way of transacting business In the
Parlor City.
If the Filipinos think they would en
Joy liberty under a Democratic ad
ministration, they are very much mis
taken. Let some ot the brown people
come to America and travel through
the South and they would be consigned
to Jim Crow cars and be subjected to
all sorts of unjust discriminations.
A thimble-full of anarchy, flavored
with state's rights, mixed with half
a glass of free trade, and all this
poured into a tumbler nearly full of
free silver, is the drink that Is pro
posed in place of that exhilarating
beverage composed of peace, prosper
ity and patriotism.
The adventurous traveller who does
not proceed far enough North to bring

these days does not receive much of a

it is well known that the Truth lias been

Congressman Council's interview with President
MeKlnley this week and his suhsenucnt work
nt tho Philadelphia convention clearly indicate
that he was an Important factor in shaping the
gratifying decision which sent a thrill of Joy
tluoughout the anthracite region.
The Truth felicitates Mr. Connell upon his
