SCRANTON, JUNK 9, 1902.
For governor of Pennsylvania, on the
Issue of an open field and fair play,
JOHN P. ELKIN, of Indiana,
subject to the will of the Republican
masses.
Paulty Premises.
IN HIS always entertaining "Per
sonal and Political" columns In,
tho Media Ledger, "Jack" Rob
inson discourses learnedly upon
the existing situation In Pennsylvania
politics; compliments cordially the
pleasing personal characteristics of the
three candidates for governor; and
gives the following us his urgument why
John Elkln should not be nominated.
Elkin, and It Is'hls misfortune, but by no
means his entire political ruin, happens
to bo thu personiilcd embodiment of the
Stone administration, and would bu the
legatee of all its unpopularity It he Is
named'. There was no higher nor more
courageous duty fell to .Quay's lot al
though no doubt he shrank from thu task
thnn to tell KiUlu his election wus
doubtful, and that he should give way for
the sako of tho party. Klkln has for
years admitted Quay's political sagacity
as being that of a profound and tireless
student of tho state's politics. Why did
ho doubt In this one Instance the pres
sclcucc and Intelligence ho possessed, and
from Quay's position ho could learn abso
lutely more of the true situation than
anyone else in tho state, when in a thous
and prior decisions and suggestions be
admitted their soundness and correctness
and the Inimitable wisdom of them after
the result? Jlls long years of loyal obe
dience to Quay were credentials from him
to his lender that this leader knew what
ho was talking about. Had Quay not
taken the stand ho did and the party gone
down again to defeat, who would have
been blamed? Quay, not Elkin. Was he
not blamed when Delamater was defeated,
. whilst the latter had only sympathy? It
Is the Imperative duty of a true leader
to tako in sails, reef top-sails and even
tack ship IC tho storm he knows" to bo
brewing is going to bo a dangerous one,
and all around tho horizon there is a
falling political barometer, a greasy, dirty
outlook and a moaning of the bar that
portends fatal disaster. What aro leaders
for? What Is tho use of organization?
OC what avail Is party discipline and loy
alty If each candidate thinks his political
intellection Is wider In range, truer In
judgment and safer to follow than his
chief's?
"Wo will do Mr. Robinson the justice
to say that this Is the strongest state
ment of the antl-Elkln case that we
have seen. Its weakness Is that it Is
founded on faulty premises. John El
kin did not set his judgment up as
superior to Quny's. On the contrary, he
sent word to Quay, early in the game,
that if the pnrty leaders were doubtful
of his candidacy he was willing to step
aside. Quay's answer wus to go ahead
with his light for delegates. In their
interview in Philadelphia Elkln sub
mitted to Quay three plans for making
a fair canvass of party sentiment to
ascertain whether Elkln's candidacy
would be politically safe and agreed In
advance to abide by the verdict. His
offer, .was refused. Quay insisted that
Klkln, to use Quay's own picturesque
language, should be "murdered."
It was not until there was no honor
able escape that John Elkln decided to
appeal from Quay's cruel and arbitrary
decision to the party at large. The re
sponsibility for thnt appeal is Quay's
wholly. The result is a complete vin
dication of Elkin before the people; the
unsettling of Quay's polltlcnl dominion;
the development of factional feeling
within tho party worse by far than the
danger which Quay originally feared,
nnd a very strong probability, amount
ing almost to a certainty, that Elkln
will win In spite of the tremendous odds
J. against him.

ports were $165,000 over December, 1900,
" and it ourteen? out bt .thirty-four varie
ties made up the Increase, namely,
typewriters, fruits, incuts, lard, butter,
tobacco, lumber, horses, etc.
Natal colony, the llrst to suffer by
the war, Is prosperous,- and contem
plates nn expenditure of $25,000,000 for
public works and service. In Cape Col
ony several electric lighting 'plants are
to be built, street railways extended,
nnd In Johannesburg $3,000,000 Is to be
spent on nn electric street railway,
furthermore, most of the gold nnd dia
mond mines will need now machinery
nnd supplies, needs thnt tho United
States will hugely supply,
All these nro Immediate certainties.
There remain unmeasured later possi
bilities growing out of the substitution
In the annexed territory of British for
Boer methods, Tho Boer was always
nvcivc to Industry. Hills to him were
hills, nnd nothing more, Ores were
Just bits of rock, and the complicated
productions of highly specialized
twentieth century manufactories, out
side of firearms, merely contrivances of
the evil one to confuse the pious. His
simple pastoral ways made commerce
unnecessary on a large scale and his
attitude wus antagonistic to Its growth.
It Is unnecessary to say thnt British
sovereignty will' radically change nil
this. A new empire modern In all Its
charasterlstlcs Is Indicated and It can
not fall to be a very valuable market
for American exports.
.Control of the mines by Messrs.
Mitchell, Nichols, Duffy and their col
leagues, as urged by the Times, might
or might not be ndvnntngeous to the
stockholders. The only point now cer
tuln Is thnt until tho stockholders ask
them to take charge It Is doubtful that
they can have the chance to try.
Hethodj That Cannot Win.
WITHOUT comment we
submit herewith a few
culllngs from the news
literature of the strike,
properly credited to the source from
which it came:
A systematic boycott of all persons and
establishments that In any way supply
the wants of non-union men has been in
augurated nnd Is having Its effect In
bringing men out of tho mines. Men of
all callings, Including bartenders, butch
ers, grocery clerks, etc., are organized In
the coal region. A non-union man In
most places cannot bo served nnd If he
is, tho establishment Is Immediately boy
cotted. Families of non-union men are
consequently having much trouble In
buying tho necessaries of life In stores.
Associated Press Dispatch, dated Wllkes
Bnrrc, Juno -I.
Valentino Starke, an engineer In the
employ of the Lehigh Valley Coal com
pany, reported to his boss to-day that he
could not go on. Ills wifo had been cons
tantly hounded while ho was at work and
tho night before stilkers had como to his
house and threatened to blow him nnd bis
entire family up If ho continued at work.
There has been a systematic campaign of
this kind all through the region and In
sonio cases open vlolenco was resorted to.
This morning a man named John Thomas
was dragged from a trolley car In Plains
near tho Prospect mine nnd thrown into
a creek because he would not turn back
when on his way to work and go home.
Half a dozen men In the employ of the
Lehigh company were forcibly prevented
from going to work to-day. Samuel Scott,
a Delaware and Hudson mine employe
was set upon and so savagely pounded
this morning that ho Is now in a hospi
tal. Wllkes-Barre Dispatch, Juno -I, print
ed In tho Scrnnton Republican.
This morning a mob of women dragged
a man from a trolley car and with tho
aid of men who were at work prevented
him from going to work. To-day the girls
In tho laco mills demanded that tho man
agers of tho mill dismiss all children of
men who remained nt work in deilnuce
of tho strike. The manager of tho mill
meekly obeyed the order and some IS or
20 girls were turned out of their jobs. To
day, Instigated, It Is said, by the factory
girls, employes of one of tho traction
companies, waited on the superintendent
and demanded that ho refuse to permit
men who remained ut work to rldo on his
cars. Wllkes-Barre dispatch in the
Scrnnton Republican.
Very soon the men at work either will
hnve to send their families to remote
places and remniu within tho fenced in
closures of tho company, or elso quit
work. Tho courage with which tho wives
and even tho children of these men face
thrents which nro heaped upon them is In
some instances astonishing. Only yester
day a little twelve year-old girl made her
way throug-h a scowling mob gathered In
front of tho gates to one of tho mine In
closures. Her father was working Insldo
tho enclosure and ho was one of those tho
mob was walling to waylay when ha
started for homo. Tho child nt tho gate
sent word to her father to eomo to her.
When he appeared sho cautiously pulled
a revolver from under her apron and
handed It to him. Her mother had sent
it, sho said, for her father to defend him
self with. If need he, on his way homo,

part of tho mine workers in thin region
since tho strike was Inaugurated was at
Now Philadelphia at nn early hour this
morning. Twenty mnsked United llina
Workers entered tho miners' boarding
house at that placo kept by, Mrs. Caro
lina Pognrty about 1:30 o'clock. The gang
wero nrmed and thoy gained an entrance
by breaking n window, seizing as their
victim a non-union miner, Thomas Cres
son, nged 22 years, who up to tho time
the colliery was closed was employed ns
a loader at tho Silver Creek colliery.
Cresson was taken from his bed, bound
hand and foot, nnd then a rope was plac
ed about tho young man's neck and ho
was lowered from nn upper window, fov
eral shots being fired to Intlmldulo tho
other boarders Into making no resistance,
all of whom, like the assaulting party, aro
union men. Cresson was saved from tho
fnto which awaited him by some friends
In tho lowor story pulling him in through
a window nnd cutting thn rope, Finding
that their victim had disappeared nil tho
masked miners dispersed. I'oltsvlllo Dis

Although tho collieries In this soction

non-union men wore forced to run the
gauntlet of 11,000 miners who formed linos
through which tho worklngnien wero
compelled to pass, being loudly Jeered ns
thoy did so. Tho Reading company to
day was obliged to bring ono of ts engi
neers to work between two deputies,

At tho No. 12 mlno n number of armed
strikers visited the pumphouse und
forced several pumpmen and steam men
to stop work, Shortly nfterwnrd tho
sumo men, reinforced by about 200 strik
ers, hung a pumpman in efllgy ut Coul
dale. Burly last evening two mem sup
posed to ho strikers, visited tho Spring
Tunnel boiler house und asked tho watch
man for n drink of water. Whun he
turned to fill a cup for them ono of the
men struck him on tho head with a large
rock and he fell to tho floor uncouclous.
Assocluted Press Dispatch from Tamarind.
An exciting riot occurred at the Bliss
colliery of tho Deluwure, Lackawanna
nnd Western Coal company this morning,
hundreds of strikers, their wives and
children participating, HevetiU persons
vcro Injured, John Frederick, nn cngf
neer, nnd Daniel Sweeney, a watchman,
who have been at work In tho colliery
against the union's order, were set Upon
by the mob ns they were leaving the mine
after their night's work, A shower of
stones nnd slicks were hurled nt the men
by the Infuriated men, women and chil
dren In the mob. Frederick und Sweeney
made desperate attempts to defend them
selves, nnd for n tlmo stood their ground
despite the heavy odds, They resorted to
stone-throwing themselves nnd slightly
Injured several persons In the mob. Tliey

Publishers' Press dispatch from Wllkes
Barre, In tho Hcrantnti Times, dated
Juno 7,"
There hnve nlso been attempts nt
train wrecking and Incendiarism, its well
ns boycotts und minor assaults galore.
Wo have quoted only a few of. the re
ported Instances of Inwlcssncss. These
are methods thnt cannot win. They
should he abandoned nnd It Is up to (be
Inw-nbldlng men among the strikers,
who number, we believe, a majority, to
help to discountenance and repress
them.
Tho acquittal of Cosgrove follows the
establishing In court of certain Import
nut facts In law. One of these Is that
the bystander who Interferes with an
officer of the law when the latter Is try
ing to make nn arrest does so at his
own peril. Another Is that the server of
a "John Doe" warrant accepts the
risk of punishment at the bands of tho
man upon whom the service Is made,
but Is not to be Interfered with by any
one else. The "John Doe" type of war
rant is sometimes necessary In cases
of riotous assemblage; but It Is gener
ally preferable to await specific Identi
fication of culprits. In that way serious
trouble Is often averted.
Upon the personal invitation of Em
peror William, and by his request, nt
his personal expense, Generals' Corbln,
Young and Wood will attend the Ger
man military manocuvers next autumn.
It Is not usual to invite foreign officers,
except the resident military attaches to
thcs,e manoeuvers. In designating
three distinguished American officers
and Inviting them to come across the
water the emperor has paid a high and
unusual compliment to this country. It
merits general appreciation.
Current Immigration at the rate of
over a million a year is Europe's em
phatic testimonial to American prosper
ity under Republican administration.
Never In our history has the rate of In
flux been so high.
The fact that Kitchener worked his
way up by sheer merit and without in
ltlnl pull shows that It is hard every
where to keep good men down.
It has probably ere this dawned upon
Mr. Bryan that the Indiana convention
had no silver lining.
After Wednesday Republican bellig
erency will be reserved for the common
enemy.
