SCItANTOX, .TANUAItY S, 1902.
The rcnoiiilnallon at lust night's
Seventeenth word primaries of Frank
S. Darker for sellout controller by 11
handsome plurality, after 11 spirited
but friendly il&lit, Is a satisfactory
outcome. .Mr. Darker has proved Ills
worth In the school hoard, find It would
have been unwise to displace him.
T'nder the circumstances, his two com
petltois made very complimentary
showings.
Public Baths.
M'
jCII ITAS been paid, and
much more might to be
be said, about the need of
free public buths In
Scranton. This Is 11 very real need In
every largo city. To supply It is as
mlieh within the proper function of
municipal government sis for the city
to own Its Avnter works, sewers or
garbage plant.
Xcxt to free public baths in value
to the community come baths under
private auspices, at low cost. Indeed,
there is good argument for not making
municipal baths free, but for fixing the
price at ;i figure which will make the
enterprise self-sustaining with good
management. Most cities having pub
lic bathing facilities now make small
charges. The effect of them is to In
duce jl more genuine Interest on the
part of the public, which is not Inclined
to value highly what is free.
AVe notice In a Philadelphia exchange
that so successful has been the work
of the Public Baths association of that
city that It Is to enlarge Its facilities.
It built a bath anil wash house in Gas
klll street four yeuis ago, provided ex
cellent accommodations with privacy
for the small price of five cents a bath,
and soon did a land-olllce business.
The average this last year was over
one thousand baths a week. Thus en
couraged, the organizers of this prac
tical work of benevolence have deter
mined to locate a new establishment
on Wood street. In a section offering
large promise of leady patronage. It
will cost ?12,000 and give accommoda
tions for 00,000 baths a year. The ar
ticle from which these facts are taken
does not say whether the baths are
self-sustaining or a souice of profit,
but the presumption Is ili.it no profit is
made, If, Indeed, the managers do not
have to reach into their pockets to
cover a deficit.
Yet wo can think of few ways In
which money intended for benevolent
purposes can be so wisely placed as In
entoui aging cleunllnes. Cleanliness
of body Is essential to cleanliness of
mind and hoar;, if the multitudes of
the unwashed In our l.irgd cities could
be reached periodically by soap and
.-(rubbing brush, many of the perplex
ing problems of city life would disap
pear. It would bo dlthcult to IK-uro out
how a kindly disponed umn of huge
means, If desiring to leave some mem
orial of himself to the city of Scranton.
imild choose 11101 o wisely than to en
dow a series of conveniently located
bathing or.tablltdinients wherein that
grace which Is next to godliness might
be secured upon terms tending to make
it popular.
Of course the United States wants
the best canal route; but It does not
want such a delicate weighing of the
question (hat It will be generations
before 11 canal shall be built.
Unpublished History.
X PUBLIC dimisslons of our for-
elgu relations tho statement has
frequently been made and denied
that llussla helped to prevent
foreign interference w Ith us fluting our
Clilvwnr. The records of the statn de
partment, contain no evidence upon tills
subject; and yet, If wo may credit a
version of facts put forth by tho New
York Sun In a recent Issue, the service
which UiiHslu rendered to this country
on that occasion was of the first lm-portnnco-,"'
In tlie'Lifo of Thuiiow Weed" the
dlHtlnct nBsertlou is made that immedi
ately after I.ouls Napoleon had Invited
KuhhIu and Knglund to Join with
Frunt'e In breaking the North's block
ade of tho Confederate ports, and at the
height of the publlo and ofllclul excite
ment in England over the seismic of
Mason mid Slldell, Czar Alexander II
personally ,vrote Instructions to the
HiiEslaii.fJeet, practlcully placing It at
the cpjnnwnd of President Lincoln In
case' any European power made a hos
tile move. TIiIb statement is borne out
at least to the extent that a lUisslitn
fleet did lay for months In New York
harbor and one In San Francisco har
bor under sealed orders, iituj t was
iindeftdctaa In certain circles In New
YorkUiut'liQ mission of these twn
(leets'wus imt unfriendly,
lit corroboration of this assertion the
Sun now prints a Jetter from John'
Blgelow, ut the time our consul at
Paris, and on Intimate friend of Mr,
Seward, our secretury of state. In this
Jetter Mr, Blgelow refers to unother
letter, received by him from Mr, Sew
ard In. the summer of 1SU2, before he
bad heard of the arrival of tlieNnusslan
squadron In Now York. Mr, Sewnrd,
In that loiter, following a discussion of
various inn Iters, wrote these signifi
cant wot tls, Which In Jtr. Mlgclcm-'n
opinion bear directly upon the point In
controversy: "llelwccii you and my
self alone, 1 have n belief that the iht
fojioan slate, whichever one It liny be,
that commits Itself to Intervention any
where In North Alneiioa, will sooner or
later fetch up In the arms of a native
of 1111 Oriental country not especially
distinguished for amiability of .manners
or temper. It might perhaps
bo Well If It weio known In Europe that
we are no longer alarmed by demon
strations of Interference."
Mr. Ulgclow adds! "Shortly utter my
return fioui France In ls57, I spent a
few days In "Washington, dining which
time I had frequent Interviews with
Mr. Seward, and occasionally mot nt
his house Monsieur Dodlsco, the Kus
slan minister nt Washington. The pur
chase or Alaska from Russia hail Just
been consummated. Of course neither
Mr. Sewiud nor Monsieur Dodlsco said
distinctly to me that that purchase was
made purely and simply as a gracious
recognition on the part of the Wash
ington government of the attitude or
the czar towaid the United States In
'CJ, but I doubt If there was any mem
ber of either house of congress who
supposed the government then had any
other motive In the purchase of Alaska
than to reeonnlzc Us obligations to the
czar." '
Accepting us true these Intel preta
tlons of fuels, there Is yet to be ex
plained the czar's motive. AVe should
like to have an authoritative opinion
on that subject,
Tho smile of Hie Chinese dragon Is
as expansive us of yore.
soundness of these conclusions. They
point to it duty Unit the Republican
majority lit congress must not shirk.
Upon the supposition that Senator
1'latt, oC New York, may not care to
return to tho fcpnute, the problem of
choosing his successor la engaging
tho nltentlrtii of the 1'hnplro Statu Re
publicans. The plain delft of .prefer
ence Is toward former Oovernor Frank
S. Black, and It Is 11 natural circum
stance, considering that Mr. Black
made one of the nest governors the
flluto over had, In 11 pilDHo speaker of
extraordinary merit and has done ser
vice for the party fairly entitling hint
to advancement at Its hands.
An Interesting token of Dtisslun
friendliness lor the United Stutfes is
given In the Kufcslau government's
placing at the disposal of Br, Horace
N, Allen, our newly-appointed minis
ter to Corea, n special enr to take him
by rail from St. Petersburg over the
Trans-Hlbeiian 'raihoad to Port Ar
thur. Dr. Allen will ne the llrst
American to make this Journey, and It
will bo one well worth making, for
the service on this great Itussiali rail
road Is not surpassed anywhere on
earth.
,Plcnty of Time for Reflection.
VARIOUS versions of the Inter
view had by Admiral Schley
with the president have ap
peared In print, all of them
doubtless guesswork. All that Is known
is that Schley asked for the Interview;
that It lasted nearly an hour, and that
at Us conclusion the admiral said It
was a friendly meeting, concerning
which he could not talk.
Tho dilft of the newspaper gosslp're
garding the matter Is to the effect
that the admiral, acting on the advice
of bis counsel and Intimate fi lends,
asked the piesldent to review the evi
dence and thus virtually reopen the
case. It is freely conceded that a re
fusal Is anticipated. The fact that
Schley Is about to begin a tour of the
South and West has raised the belief
that a political turn is to be given to
the matter. The Democrats are evi
dently eager to locate a new issue.
Their need of one is pathetic.
It is possible that ir an election were
to be held tomorrow with Schley in
the foreriont a majority might be re
turned adverse to the administration,
but It is u long time until the next
election; and before the Interval shall
have been spanned time will have In
teivened for a lot of sober thinking
by men who are not now in a fuime of
mind to deal calmly with facts.
Last year the mines of tho United
Slates contributed to tho world's
wealth $l,Go0,000,000. These figures con
ey little meaning to tho mind. May
be they will bo more clearly under
stood whon we say that If the pro
ducts of American mining industries
during the past year were converted
into silver dollars and placed In a low
wijh the flat sides together, the string
of dollars would extend from New
York to Sou Francisco and back
again. This Is a great country.

KEBUKED BY THE BISHOP.
In the forthcoming or sixteenth un
nunl report of tho commissioner of
labor of the United States, Hon. Car
roll D. "Wright, which is especled from
the press In the course of the next
few months, 1111 exhaustive study of
the strikes and lockouts of the past
twenty years Is to be presented. There
Is reason to believe that It will prove
an eye-opener to worklngmen.
The dllllculty in proceeding against
boycotters at piesent seems to con
sist in the fact that It Is hard to prove
that the boycotted have suffered to
any extent from the seal of disap
proval. The boycott appears to be
inm-f dangerous before than after taking.
Ail Intelligent Statement.
Many of the farms given away to
original settlers In Oklahoma two
years ago, are now selling for $10,000
apiece. "With an area the size of Ohio,
half a million good people owning
property the assessed valuation of
which Is $300,000,000, and Having every
modern convenience and comfort, it Is

libel by State Treasurer-elect Frank
O. flarris, on account of the publi
cation during the last campaign of
slanderous attacks, threatens to sub
poena every politician of note in the

lection is that this throat has been

sociation is a non-partisan
business association to wid
en American markets and
keep labor and capital profitably em
ployed. Its membership comprises
leading houses In 98 principal indus
tries situated In 34 slates. It lias made
a careful study of the ship subsidy
problem and this Is the conclusion It
has reached:
"Our study of this subject has con
vinced us that one of the chief ob
stacles to a larger export business is
the lack of an American mei chant
marine. Kvory ship is a missionary
of trade, and steamship lines work for
their own countries just as ralh'oad
lines work for their terminal points.
It Is as absurd for us to rely on for
eign ships lo dlslilbute our goods as It
would be for one business house to de
pend upon tho wagons of a competing
house to inako Its deliveries, A mer
chant navy is as necessary as a war
navy and each supplements and helps
tho other. There ought not to be any
politics In either. Political traditions
and shibboleths should have 110 place
bete. 'It Is a condition and not a
theory.' Our competitors for the
world's trade have built up their mer
chant marine by subsidies and even
now are paying twenty-eight millions
of dollars a year for that purpose.
France has within a few days passed
an act largely Increasing the subsidy
she pays her merchant marine,
"We have built up our magnificent
railway system by subsidies In land,
money and mall pay until it carries our
products for one-half the rates churged
by tho railways of other countries,
but' "we have starved our merchant
marine until from 00 per cent, of our
exports once carried In American
ships. It lias diminished to !) per cent.
For u nation with a coast line greater
than any other; a nation of maritlmo
Instincts and with an unbroken record
of Intelligence and intrepidity on the
ocean, from Paul Jones to Oeorgo
Dewey, this is little short of a national
disgrace. In this age of steam and
electricity 'the Held is the world,' Wo
need fast mall ships as well as fast
mali trains and the true principle ()(
any subsidy should be to equalize the
difference In cost of building and mn
nluff an American bhlp as compared
with (i foreign vessel of eo,uul class.

Include those ships of foreign build
now owned by Americans who have

in the oceou currying trade, but not

yet to come. Wo want to use American
materials und employ American labor
In the future. Ninety per cent, of
the cost of a' ship, front the mining of
the ore to the weaving of the colors,
Is labor." ' t

To the unjudicial mind, it always
seems as though jthero was something
wrong with the "stop, look and lis
ten" technicality that lias been the
means of saving so much money for
corporations In case of accident.
Latest reports Indicate that Webster
Davis is becoming more moderate. He
is now willing to divide the blame for
the continuation of the Boer war be
tween President Koosevelt and con

absence of red Iho and ginger in Presi

popular with ills constituents In the
