:SCR ANTON, APKTt, 1, 1P0.
For governor of Pennsylvania, on the
Irsub at an open field and fair play,
JOHN P. ELKIN, of Indiana,
subject to the will of the Republican
masses.
'J
' Will History Repeat?
w
ITH THE state conven
tion less than two months
distant., the sliiKiilar
spectacle Is presented of
a majority party In a great Itepubll
f can commonwealth not knowing the
Identity of and not even having any
basis for guessing who the party lead
er mole properly. In this Instance, the
party boss Intends to put forward for
the nomination for governor. It is fiee
ly charged that tho delegates to the
convention will not know for a certain
ty until the evening before the conven
tion. They are, if possible, to bo chosen
blindfolded and led to Harrlsburg to he
delivered as the boss may decice. This
curious situation is in existence by
reason of the fact that the one candi
date around whom the people were
rallying has been marked by the power
of the boss for political strangulation.
When Quay dirked Elkln a shout of
glee arose from jealous rivals, who an
ticipated an early profit from this sup
posed assassination. Under the banner
or "reform" some or them gloried In
this unexampled exhibition of tioss
tyranny and ingratitude. They will
look at the matter differently when the
sutne band that dealt the stroke or per
fidy at Klkin shall blandly squelch the
ambition of Elkin's ilvals. In the ab
normal situation which this attempt to
interfere with a free and fair expression
of the patty will has called into being
it will soon become obvious that no icp
utable party aspiration has been bene
nted but that, on the contrary, the
party's last estate Is worse than In
Hist. Such is always the conseouenee
when the free play of paity preference
Is arbitrarily interrupted to make way
for dictation.
There is today just one avenue of es
cape from party disorganization and
paralysis. That Is in revoking the en
deavor to throttle popular expression
of choice and in permitting an open
field and fair play. This is the platform
upon which John P. Elkin carries his
appeal before the people. It is a solid
and substantial platform. It menaces
no legitimate party interest but on the
contrary effectually bafeguards the
party welfare. No man afraid to
stand on It should be named for the
office of governor of Pennsylvania or
any other office. The attempt to force
the nomination of some man, however
excellent personally, upon whose claims
to party preferment tho party masses
have not been permitted to pass will
spell as big a disaster in 190:2 as we
had In 18S2 and 1890. It had better be
abandoned.
Star-chamber strangulation ot He
publican party preference in Pennsyl
vania Is a good thing for the Demo
crats. Mutually Profitable.
o
NE fur-reaching result of ilia
recent visit of Hon. William
Abraham, M. P., better known
as "Mabon," to this country
has just been announced by lilm in a
significant speech to his constituents
i tho Iihdndda .valley. The New York
Times thus reports him:
"Ho says that, In common with most
of those who ate identified with the
labojj Jiwycrnent,; hfe had always bo
lieve'd that the'lntro'ductlon of machin
ery for the performance of operations

ipcimanont disadvantage ()f the skilled
meclianlc. This conviction ho In ought
J Swlth him o America, expecting to find
hero abundant evidence that ns the
employer prospered by the aid of ma
chinery labor was cioiyded tnitho back
ground and skill 'availed nothing In
assisting u man to iltm abovo the stat
us of tho unskilled workman In the
lubor muiUct, lie leiuineii from his
American visit thoroughly cured of this.
cuidefopUiAt, nild convinced that It wah
henceforth his duty to advocate the
Jamployiuent of machinery In every in
dustry, upon wniun ureal Jiritain is dr-
pendent In her competition with other
countries, Ho found that Instead of
degrading men and depilvlng them of
tjjf-Oho opportunity to bet(.er their coiuli
j?y V, laypreavjng imclitMry emanci
pated them from servftu'de lo monot
onous and neceasuilly low-priced tasks,
and by lucreaiiuK their productive
power Increased their value. He dis
. cpYtred Jhat was ,t o.nco the duty
and the Interest of (he llrltlsh nm'nu
facturer to provide himself with the
best plant, possible with u view tq le
uVinlmr munufnotming costs to a mini-
mum, niirl that unless he does this nol
only ubilltl II be linioslhle forEng
land lo hold her own In International
competition, but the InlerrstH of labor
must surfer, slmo u minimum output
meant u minimum wage."
The conversion to this view of a man
of "Mabon's" authority and influence
among lJiltlsli Iratles-unlonlRls cannot
Tall to have Important ronnentienees.
It muxt senilbly nrfoot the trade
unionist attitude, hitherto hostile to
labor-saving machinery. No nmall
share of England's loss of the Indus
trial markets of continental Eutupc
and the colonies lt due to this mistaken
hostility. When It Is icmoved, Ameri
cans may look for sharper competition
than they have recently encountered.
Hut they will not I egret thin 1C Its ef
fect shall bo the elevation to a higher
plane of the Krltlsh wnge-eurner.whoso
lot hti been none too enviable. In
business rivalry as In the other com
petitions of life, Americans will be sjt
Istled with a fair Held and no favors.
If they cannot win on these temis,
they do not' deserve to win.
Hut If "Mabon" has profited by his
visit to the United States, the gain Ih
not all on bis side! for wc cheerfully
bear testimony to the enlarged respect
which his ratlonnl advocacy of the
causes of organized labor occasioned
In this country for the profession of
labor leader. AVc venture to say that
if h majority of the men who In the
rnitod States marshal the hosts of or
ganized tollers were of ills kind fair,
honest, Intelligent and broad-minded,
capable of Impressing the most rabid
capitalist with confidence in his rom
pletc sincerity theie would seen be an
end to senseless strikes, boycotts, vio
lence and the other barbarities of class
warfare.
So long ns Congressman Council is
willing tn risk a passage in the Elkln
boat we guess that his opponents need
not concern themselves about his
safety.
5cuttle as the Issue.
THE Washington Star, with
good facilities for knowing,
alleges that the Democrats
have again decided to try
their luck with a policy of scuttle. Our
contemporary rcmaik1;: "So pieapori
ate the anti-lmperialf-ists with the
latest testimony before the senate
Philippine committee as to military
operations in the archipelago that they
aie preparing to go into the whole sub
ject at length when the Philippine bill
is taken up by the senate. The debate,
it is promised, will be most spirited,
and with the view of supplying matoilal
for use is next fall's campaigns. The
proposition is to talk while thr Jaw Is
hot, and not wait until 1004. Theie will
lie a risk, of course. But It must be
taken. If the Republicans win, that
will put an end to the (state. But if
they lose; if the Democrats carry the
next house, then (-cuttle will be consid
ered stiong enough to bear the weight
of a presidential candidate.
"But can scuttle In any form, for any
reason, win?
"The first proposition was to get out
because we should never have gone In.
We erred, it was contended, in taking
over the islands. We should have left
Spain undisturbed there. After sinking
her fleet, which was our object in going
to Manila, we should have retired, feel
ing fully assured that our Pacific coast
line was now in no sort of danger. In
stead of that, flushed, as we were, with
a. signal triumph, we went ashoie and
buidened ourselves with duties for
which as a nation we were unprepared.
The wise thing to do, theiefoie, war to
throw up the whole matter as a bad
Job and come home, leaving the wot Id
to laugh if it would, and the Filipinos
to do what they pleased.
"The present pioposttion is founded
upon the alleged brutalities of the
American soldiers in the Philippines,
We aie asked to believe that they are
conducting themselves under outers
like savages, killing defenseless people
of all ages, burning houses and laying
wafeto farms indiscriminately, torturing
prlsoneis after a Spanish fashion, and
in every hideous manner covering them
selves and their Hag with shame
and disgrace. And the remedy. It is
urged, is scuttle. r.et's get out, and at
once, or we shall lose our own civiliza
tion. We shall become so hardened to
the use of foice that we shall soon be
applying It here at home in our own
affairs. The government will be Mexl
canlzed, and Mr. Watterson's night
mare realized.
"It may be possible to win a political
campaign by holding up tho army and
its commanders thus to obloquy; by
charging that an excess horu and theie
represents general practice; by Insist
ing that pow-wows with Filipino chiefs
should take the placu of all other
measures In the aichlpelago, lint It
looks ilsky very ilky."
The difference between Mr, Elkin and
some of his opponents Is demonstrated
by the fact that tho latter appear to be
In It with malice toward everybody.
The Outlook for Peace.
THE FACT that a census of the
vaiious Uour commandoes is
to bo taken uiion the inten
tion of accenting or reject
ing tho lirltlsli peace terms, although
It necessitates a delay, Is by no means
an unfavorable augury. It bun long'
ben known that the more Intelligent of
the lloer leaders n tho Held have been
Inclined toward peace If nvallablo on
terms consistent with honor. This has
been ti tie of Uotha, DcWet and Do l.a
Jtey, eiuh of tliet.0 having at various
limes Indicated a desire to glv tivir
the plainly impossible claim of inde
pendence pioylded England, on her
side, would deal leniently with the t'apo
allies of the burgheis and I'urnlbli balls
factory guarantees of an eaily letuni
to representative government In tho an
nexed territory.
Unle.s.s common ieport is altogether ut
fault, the stumbling block bltheito has
been the Kruger entourage In Europe,
These former ofllelals, away fiom the
heut and burden ot the day and evi
dently somewhat fond of posing befoio
Europe as Irifconcllables, have insisted
with chatacteilstlc stubbornaesa that
nothing but a retuin to the political
status iuo existing ut the time of their
invasion of DrltUh tenltory would btif
flee. Now, however much we may as
an abblracl piopostltlou sympathize
with ttic demand for Independence, It
la as plain ns daylight that Oreat
Hi Itntn could never Justify or cveii'de
fend her enormous expenditure of men
and money In South Africa upon any
basis which left her citiphc exposed
again as It was before this deploiable
war to attack ul the bauds of a Dutch
cuatllon. One or the other power must
rioiu the natuie of things cinerge fiom
this wur paramount In South Africa.
This Is na necessary for the ultimate
welrarc of the lloers us It Is for that of
the English-speaking Inhabitants.
Once Independence H waived, how -ever,
there nre good reasons why the
Ibitlsh terms ought to be liberal. Wc
do not doubt that tho war has taken
the lough edges off the situation to such
an extent that no Iloer will ever again,
as the Pretoria ring repeatedly did
before thla present wur, question Eng
lish bravery and court war on the as
sumption that a few preliminary te
verses would, as after the Urst engage
ment at MaJuba Hilt, under the Ideal
ist lcally unpractical foreign policy of
Gladstone, cause bin majesty's govern
ment to sue for peace. On the other
hand, whllu Hocr statesmanship has not
gained In the estimation of the Uilttsli,
there law undeniably been a great ap
preciation In England's estimate of the
fighting qualities of ttie Itoeis and a
corresponding Inciease In tho respect
which brave men always feel fAr foe
men worthy of their steel. Tho .nl
otis charges and counter-chaises of
brutality in the Held arc but passing
incidents of warfare. They will not live
in history. But the stiategy, pluck and
daring of De Wet, De ,u Itey and
others of the successful Uoer command
ers will live, and Englishmen will be
among the first to bear cordial testi
mony. So that, eventually, the tangles or the
moment will unravel and civilization bo
the gainer. This can be greatly expe
dited if Great Britain, In making peace,
will consult her better Impulses.
It is leported that a committee of In
fluential senatois recently waited on
the pi evident In the behalf of General
Miles. The story goes that after can
vassing the allegations of his offending
they concurred In the president's view
that Miles' conduct has been piejudic
ial to good discipline and injurious to
the service; but for political ic.isoiis
and in order lo avert another Schley
affair they besought the president to
bear with Miles a few months longer.
If this narrative Is true, Theodore
Boosevelt will soon have to decide
whether efficiency or expediency is to
lie the guide of his conduct. We do
not doubt how lie will decide.
There may be difference of opinion as
to whether the Ametlcnn soldiers in tho
Philippines have violated tho rules of
civilized warfate, but there is no ques
tion that many who wilte about them
for the pi ess have been guilty of atroci
ties. The suriender or Malvar just at the
time that Colonel Wattei.son was get
ting ready to make tho welkin ring be
cause of the intolerable prolongation of
the Philippine nlghtmaie ' certainly
seems unkind.
And now the Yankee tobacco trust
is proposing to buy out its British op
ponent. Tho latter made tho mistake
of its life when it went up against the
American Duke.
The rapidity with which the British
loan has been taken shows that John
Bull's bar'l is or greater deptli than the
English liaters would have us believe.
General Gonzales seems to have been
the last to seek enrollment on the
"aunties" ingrate list.
John P, Elkln never went luck on a
friend.

Something:. About Prices for Advertising FJat Rates Per Inch.
TWO YEAH.t ,UIO the term, "Mat
rate for advertising," was pi He
lically unknown lu Scranloii. On
April I, MOO, The Tribune adopted Ihe
ililt rale per Inch and has kept It before
Its imtroim and the public generally,
aided In no small degree by one of Its
enntcinporiirles, until It Is doubtful If
there Is a merchant In tho city who Is
not familiar with tho term, and willing
lo endorse- the plan, even If ho is among
the few who were obliged to pay Tho
Tribune a slight advance over old
ut tea ln order that prices should be
equal,
Convinced that theie was no Justness
In the existing custom of local papers
charging varying priucs to different
advertisers for the same service, The
Tribune decided to break away from
such an unfair basis and place Its ad
voitlseis on a piuno where each would
receive the same set vice for the same
price,
Two yeais have now passed, and tin;
s'ttine rates for all conducts aie still In
effect. The Tribune's columns nic

there Is no nreatilun for nn adver
tiser to question If his rate is
hlglur timn .some other adver
tiser who Is using less space, or to
use his time or Ihe lline of The
Tribune's lepresentallves In endeavor

one rale In The Tilbune for tho same

Speuklng of advertising, It might not
be out or place to mention one or two
circumstances that have recently come
to our attention In connection with
wnnt advertising. A gentleman resid
ing In New Jersey advertised a summer
cottage for sale the ad. was published
In The Tribune only and ran one week,
costing less than a dollar. Ho was
asked if ho wished the advertisement
continued, and replied that ho had sold
the cottage before the ad. ran out, and
was still getting answers.
Another man Inserted a four-lino ad.
In Tho Tribune and said ho received
twice as many replies from The Tri
bune as irom tho two other local papers
which he used combined, and the ad.
cnt only half as much.
This little "talk" only proves that It
pays to be honest with the public.
