SCIl ANTON, MAttCII 1, 1902.
The sorlca ot letters of southern
travel from the pen of J. K. Itlohmoml,
of Honcsdalo, l'n., brought to n clo.so
In yesterday's Tribune, liuvo been In
structive in the highest degree. They
have pictured vividly the. wonderful
quickening which has come over the
new South; the growth of her cities,
the diivelopment of her natural re
sources, the manifold attractions she
offers to pleasure-seekers and the
promise of revived Americanism which
fcho holds out to the future. All these
things have been set forth accurately
and conscientiously by Mr. Richmond,
who lias again performed a vnluable
educational service.
An Opportunity Lost.
THE withdrawal of the now
railway franchises because
of the disposition of certain
influences in councils to load
them down with impossible provisions
offered under pretence of great devo
tion to the public good but really In
uring to the benellt of the Scranton
Hallway company, has a very definite
meaning to those who are willing to
understand it.
It means, among other things, that
the kind of street railway service sup
plied by the Scranton Hallway com
pany during the past few years Ir
regular schedules, old, scarce and often
dirty cars, and Inferior equipment will
bo the kind to which our people may
look forward indefinitely.
It means that at a time when the
removal of the steel mills is leaving a
largo gap In the Industrial life of our
community the opportunity to encour
age a new entei prise offering to ex
pend in the employment of labor in the
next few years enough to more than
compensate for the removal of the mills
has been rejected.
"Wo trust that those who have been
chiefly instrumental in bringing about
this lojectldn will exhibit public spirit
enough to provide substitute industries.
People In the looded districts arc be
coming impresed with the idea that the
groundhog lolo was assumed by a
muskrat this season.
Ills nission Accomplished.
P
RINCI3 UENllY has now com
pleted the chief functions ot
his inlbHlon to this country
and it is possible nlreudy to
rstlmato with accuracy the degree of
success ho has achieved.
Fundamentally there has never been
any estiangeinent between the United
States and Germany, Minor frictions
there have been from time to time;
principally limited to the official class.
Sumo Americans traveling in Germany
and possibly not willing to bend grace
fully to the German ways have brought
homo stories of ill-treatment doubtless
much exaggerated In the telling; and
these, being icpeated, have fostered a
wrong impression. Hlvaliies and mis
understandings In trade, sometimes
hastily exploited in the newspapers or
in parliamentary gallery-playing, have
ndded to the erroneous sentiment, Ger
many bus Its politicians as well as we.
They manipulate tariffs to suit favor
ite constituents as weli as, our own do.
The German farmer wants protection
against the competition of tho Ameri
can hog just as our farmers at times
clamor for special tariffs to shut out
possible Inroads from other countries.
In hhort, thero is human nature there
as well as hero.
Hut those matters are relatively triv
ial, TliTy may exasperato as they hap
pen; uuel In. a-country ns much given
as ouij is to free and Immediate
vent tQ, Its 'Rxasperatlon It is easy
to imagine that the public feeling Is
deeply jtlrrod. Hut it isn't, The sur
face Is yexed, but the depths are calm.
Underneath is; the solid foct that a
lUteentll'part of our entire population,
comprising much of Its bravest and
best, Is of Germanic nativity, bound to
tho fatherland by ties of memory,
tliQUgh Toyul and staunch In tho cltl
zcnship'jrf Its adoption. This great cle
went. vJtlt Its ramifications In every
American community, constitutes an
ample guarantee against tho develop,
ment ofan artificial estrangement. Yet
If It were not so, there woulU remain
tho fact'thut in essential pin pose Ger
many and America are not tnv apart,
Hath arp countries of liberty regulated
by law: administered under constitu
tional lorm Though differing in
method, -the. aim of each is thofurther

Superior;' expressions. In tho large
labors which Providence commits to
tho haujs of tho living nations tlibre
has already been occasion for tho two
to worjOn cordial co-operation; and If
we read aright tho future such oppor
tunity la. not to cease.
So that, In buy common senso view,
It needed not t,Uo VW - Prince Henry
to Insure tho keeping of Die peace be
tween the vital nation of tho European
continent and tho coming chief power
of tho onrth, What tho prlnto'n visit
has accomplished lias been to bring to
tho surface this latent consciousness of
inulunl good will; td exemplify It be
fore the gaze of the multitudes. In the
porfornuineo of this delicate mission ho
has been exceptionally successful, lie
hna charmed us us u man oven more
than as a prince; and while It la thb
relationship as prince that momentarily
attracts it will bo the happy memory
of Henry, tho man, that will endure,
and In tho years to come give us a
measure of our German friends across
the sen which will unconsciously Iiulu
enco our attitude. It was tho element
of sympathy which was missing when
lie came. Hut it will bo missing no
more.
Prince i Henry's visit to Washington
has demonstrated (hat all of the en
thusiasm of tho national capltol cannot
be cxhuustod lit one session.
Shop Talk.
UltINO tho month of Feb
ruary Tho Tribune printed
19,1)39 Inches of reading mat
ter; the Republican, 1S.79S
inches; tho Truth, 17.09S inches and tho
Times, 14,072 Inches. In the case of the
llrst two papers tills reading matter
was all homo set; in the case of tho
Times 1018 Indies, or 7 per cent., was
boiler plate matter purchased ready
set; and in the case of the Truth 2313
Inches, or 11 per cent,, was either plate
or matrix matter set out of town.
Frank A. Munsey, the man who, on
a capital of a few pennies at tho be
ginning, within a few years built up a
fortune of millions in the publication
of cheap magazines, lately bought the
Washington Times, a penny paper.
After conducting it at a loss for sev
eral months on tho penny basis, Mr.
Munsey has just announced an Increase
in its price to two cents; and he ex
plains the advance by asserting on his
honor as a publisher that in a city tho
size of Washington more than twice
the size of Scranton nnd with a much
larger radius of tributary reading ter
ritory it Is Impossible to print and sell
a good newspaper at a fair profit for n
penny a copy. He says It either means
a cheap or a huckstering paper or one
Vim at a loss.
Mr. Munsey may have a higher ideal
of what a newspaper should bo than
is prevalent generally; and, too, he may
be mistaken in his figuring. But it
seems to us that a paper not worth two
cents Is not worth having in tho house.
Three hotels for persons of limited
means, like the Mills hotels in New
York, where good but plainly furnished
rooms can be hired for from 15 to 23
cents a night and substantial, well
cooked meals had for not to exceed 20
cents each, are projected In Pittsburg.
The time is coming when thero will be
ned for one or more of such hotels in
Scranton.
Compulsory Land Purchase.
-IIE conventiomihy American
view of Ireland ai a theatre
on whoso stage iscontlnually
being enacted ttffo grossest
spoliation of tho poor by fio rich is
likely to bo modified if the Irish Nation
alist party shall persist In Its advocacy
of the compulsory land purchase policy.
Under legal provisions now; in force
the peasantry on an estate may, under
certain conditions, receive government
aid in purchasing land from that estate
when the landlord is willing to -'p1I.
More than $100,000,000 has been advanc
ed by the Hritlsh government in this
way to aid tho peasantry in acquiring
freeholds, and so happy have been the
results in tranqiilllzingihe communities
affected that the proposition lias been
made a part of the Irish parliamentary
programme that the system of state
aided land purchase shall become uni
versal In Ireland, unwilling landlords
to be compelled to sell.
In a letter to the New York Tribune
discussing this phase of tho Irish poli
tical situation, William Redmond, M.
P., says: "The Conservative govern
ment has promised legislation on the
subject at this session of parliament,
but its efforts will probably bo con
fined to an extension of tho present
voluntary system a sort of greasing of
tho wheels, as It were, to make It
easier for the tenant to become a
peasant proprietor. That Is good as
far as It goes; but we shall be satisfied
with nothing short of a compulsory
measure. Willi the question of land
lordism practically eliminated from
Irish polities, as it would be the oper
ation of such u measure, Nationalists
believe that Westminister would be
much moi o ready to grant Ireland's
demands for home rule."
Americans will sympathize with
every well-considered effort of tho Irish
people to better their condition, both
as individuals and in their aspiration
for nationhood, Yet if it were pro
posed In tills country that owners of
large tracts of land should bo required
by law against their will to sell their
holdings Into small divisions on long
term payments, wc can Imagine that
thero would bo an outcry. Possibly
Lord R6sebery had this in mind when
lio recently proclaimed his final aband
onment of home rulo and of political
Identification in any way with tho
Irish Nationalist party.
To an observer at a dlstanco It looks
as if there were going soon to bo somo
very Interesting developments in Hiitlsh
politics.

Tho fuel that most of these undertak

versity a beautiful Idea! Everybody
to got a college education (Without
price. That had nntclf common sense
behind it as to Hie need of a widened
circle of university inllucnco and the
hunger of the mass for educational op
portunities now limited mainly to tho
Well-to-do. Mut to stato tho problem
well was not to solvu It, as Mr. Walker
found out when he came to denl with
lis practical side. Then there Was ills
bold attempt to coax Into being a suc
cessful .Hying machine. The Induce
ment he offered for Its materialization
was ample and It would no doubt have
appeared on schedule tlmo if it had
been In tlto woods. But not even so
Ingenious nnd generous a patron as
John Miisben AV'nlkor could form a
working partnership with the impos
sible, or, perhaps we should say, with
the as yet non-existent.
Mr. Walker's latest project is quite
as courageous us the rest. Ho Is going
to call together if things properly con
necta world's congress to bo made up
of tho one hundred persons who shall
represent tho "highest thought and
most practical statesmanship of all na
tions." There will be "no personal,
political or diplomatic reasons" guiding
the selection of tills group of tho
world's iminotiats, neither will thero bo
a prc-nrrnnged programme. When tho
One Hundred convene they will plan
their own work and have nobody to
call them down because of the manner
In which they shall do It. Mr. Walker's
Idea, so far as It lias been put into un
derstandable shape, seems to be to get
these eminent men together and then
to let them go, Gallagher.
All of which, if it materializes, ought
to add to the gayety of nations.
King Menellk, of Abyssinia, is an
nounced ns one of the attractions, at
the coming St. Louis exposition. The
statement, however, will be received
with u grain of salt. It is not likely
that oven accounts or recent receptions
to royalty in this country will temnt
the Illustrious descendant of tho Queen
of Sheba to take chances upon being
corralled in a midway sideshow.
Ex-President Cleveland bus caused
comment by indicating that ho would
rather shoot ducks than shake hands
with Prince Henry. Mr. Cleveland's
admiration for royalty seems to
have petered out with the passing of
Queen 1,11.
Since 1S20 five million persons of
German nativity have become citizens,
and substantial and well-behaved citi
zens, of the United States. No wonder
Prince Henry feels at home here.
In good time the public will probably
be informed through the enterprising
advertising manager of the particular
brand of digestive tablets used by
Prince Henry.
Among the One Hundred Captains of
Ipdustry who lunched with Prince
Henry there were two brewers and no
distillers. Wherefore?
The Information that Mr. Bryan does
not agree with President Roosevelt's
opinion in the Schley case causes no
