' SCHANTOX, MAY IB, 190'.'.
For governor of Pennsylvania, on the
Issue of nn open field and fair play,
JOHN P. ELKIN, of Indiana,
' subject to the will of the Republican
Prompt and to the Point.
THERE IS unanimous public
and there should be prompt
vonirre&slonul approval of the
president's, request for a
$500,000 appropriation for the relief of
the stricken victims of the shastly
'tragedy In Martinique. The reported
intention of one member of the house
to oppose such a grant on the ground
that it is without warrant In the cons
titution will not, we trust, be carried
out. The United States, which has so
many times reeerved the sympathy of
,the world In times of especial afllletlon
and which lias an honorable history in
'quick response to human suffering,
should not at this late day grow cal
lous pr penurious or unduly technical.
The frightful occurrence at Jlartlnl
Ique Is an international tragedy, engulf
ing in ItS'swift tide of destruction Am
erlcans'as weir as natives and I'urope-
ans. -It makes a. call to humanity as
, emphatic as il Is urgent. Haste In re
lief measures is doubly essential; and it
'would 111 become the United States, the
nearest, great power, to be tardy or
niggardly. Fortunately there Is little
danger of remissness in ihls respect.
The president has well iiiterp't't'tt'd the
temper of the pople.
From such Information as can be
gleaned, it seems to be true that a con
' servatlve . spirit, has largely governed
the mine workers of this vicinity in
their balloting on the question of con
tinuing the strike. Whether this will
be sufficient to develop Into a majority
of the Hazleton convention must be left
for the convention to determine. Pre
dictions at such a time and In view of
so many uncertain factors would be
foolish.
No Need to Be Scared.
-w-JIIUtE IS reason to believe
I that more persons re
1 scared to death than die ot
accident. This comiuuaity
In a business sense has been In a
state of s-caro for more than two
years. Strike has followed strike la
such quick succession that those look
ing for excuses to avoid paying their
debts or placing orders have had them
on their tongue's end. Yet in reality
the actual damuge done to buslnesi by
these periodical and now very general
disturbances amongst the laboring
men has been ovei est limited. Ill spite
of strikes, last yrar was the best busi
ness year that Scranton ever had.
The llgures of bank clearings and the
records of the mercantile agencies as
to failures prove this beyond challenge.
As we said, the .scare Is worse than
the hurt. Our merchants have become
pretty well accustomed to that kind of
care. Ot course uncertainty has neces
sarily Interfered with business, inas
much as It has Interrupted orders and
delayed various plans looking to the
future. Hut after tomorrow we shall
know Just what to expect with regard
to the labor situation In our mines. If
the strike Is withdrawn, prosperity, of
course, will take on new 1 i f t' ; but If
the worst comes to; tho"wurst and a
fight to the finish isVenteied upon thoie

The Voice of Illinois.
r
1110 SWONI3 llllltleiitlnl Up-
publican stnte to bold Its 100
convention wiim Illinois, one
door vet of the starter, tu
mid Its platform, like that
(liana;
framed tit lmllunnpotls rtceiHly, Hugs
linn and true, lien- is one pianii in
particular that merits national notice!
"We commend tho, brilliant and
pntrlotlc services of our army nnd
navy In maintaining , the dignity
and honor of our flag on the sens'
and In our foreign .possessions, nnd
we condemn tho mnllgnnnt attacks
now being made upon our soldleis
and 'sailors."
The present governor of Illinois, itlch
ard Yates, Is a son ot the war governor
In 'fil-r.; iiiul history merely repeats In
this new condemnation of unputi lotto
back-llrlng upon the boys on the light
ing line. .
Here Is another plank significant
enough to be emphasised: "We con
demn all conspiracies and combinations
to ipstrlct business, to create monop
olies, to limit production or to control
m Ices, and favor such legislation as
will etTvctiuilly restrain. and. pr.event all
such abuses, piolect and promote com
petition and secure the rights of pto
duceis, laboiers and all who are on
gnged lu Industry and commerce, and
w'e approve and commend the efforts
of President Uoosevelt to enforce the
liiws against illegal combinations In
restraint of trade, and pledge htm our
hearty support in all his efforts to pre
ve.ut the people from oppressive com
binations of capital." The meat trust,
with Its headquarters In 1'hlcugo, will
derive small comfort fiom this.
Jn addition to these clarion tones,
protection is appioved and an expres
sion In favor of a reciprocal trade
treaty with Cuba Is voiced. Although
brief, the Illinois platform is full of
meat and merit. IL heralds a winning
light by an undivided party.
The sweet gii 1 graduate and the rum
mage sale gubernatorial boom arc now
struggling for the center of the stage.
Why Not?
THE ASSERTION is made by
the Philadelphia Jtecord that
a joint debate of aspirants
' , for the Republican guber
natorial nomination, such as was con
ducted In WIIkes-Barro last week be
tween -Messis. AVuties and Elkln, should
also include the slated candidate. Judge
Pennypaeker; and our contemporary,
with dry humor, adds: "In such a joint
debate, while Colonel Walres is elo
quently supporting the cause of honest
government and while Attorney flen
eial Elkln is defuiuling the light of the
Kepublican party to make It nomina
tion for governor flee from despotic
dictation,' Judge Pennypaeker could ex
pand his original euloglum upon Sen
ator Quay and expatiate at gieater
length upon the merits of the machine
as Illustrated In the state and city gov
ernments." Uttered by H Democratic paper de
risively, why should not this sugges
tion in- cqnsldered seriously? The op
portunity Is near to hand. On May lit
a direct piim.iry election with popular
expres-sion as to gubernatorial candi
dacies Is to be held In Tioga county.
Watres, Elkln and Pennypaeker have
each legistered. The tlrst two have
fared the voters like men and been seen
and measured by the constituents they
would serve. Pennypaeker to the great
bulk of Pennsylvanians Is an abstrac
tion iiieiplyi Not one lu a thousand has
ever seen him. Not one In ten thousand
knows what his opinions are on public
questions eiiteilng into gubernatorial
work. It is known that he is a gentle
man and a scholar, but there the pub
lic's stock of information ends, Should
he be nominated without lurther eluci
dation a inaivel of obscurity would be
the consequence.
We have no authority to speak for
either Colonel Watres or Attorney (len
eral Elkln, but we suspect that they
would welcome the chance to test their
powers lu a friendly contest of oratory
ami argument with the Philadelphia
jurist. From the manner lu which Air,
Elkln enjoyed the discussion at WUkes
Haire and In the light or its effect upon
the primaries, wo doubt not that he
would be willing to pay the cost of
baud hire and halt lent If his two op
ponents should consent to join him in u
peisonnlly conducted tour of. the com
monwealth, with one-night stands in
each county yet to elect delegates.
