The subject of a projected new book
of local interest Is: "Alone nt Ilnrris
liurfj; or, I low t Did It All." It is tho
uutohlogniphy of a Lackawanna ex
reurcspntntlve. Tried and True.
T
IIE NEEDS of this district
call for a representative of
ability, ripe experience and
sound, practical judgment at
"Washington. In snlte of the natural
play of rival ambition, intrigue and re
sentment, we think that a majority of
our citizens recognize that they have
such a reuresentative in "William Cou
ncil. He needs no pictures or posters of In
troduction. His name and fume are
emblazoned on almost every industry
in our valley and the record of hia
achievements is virtually coincident
with the history of Seranton.
At a time when tho hand of affliction
has been laid heavily upon him, Mr.
Connell is prevented from giving to his
candidacy for renomlnatlon the per
sonal attention ordinarily appropriate;
but the practical common sense of the
people, duly analyzing tho situation and
measuring claims, should suffice to re
turn one week from tomorrow a verdict
in accord with the district's best in
terests. Admiral Dewey's testimony disposes
of tho antl-imperlalists without the
need of a coroner's Inijucst.
Substantially Founded,
MANAGER LOGAN'S state
ment as to the vitality of
local business in spite of
the strike Is true not only
of the coal fields but of the country
generally. Last year enough things hap
pened of n menacing character to bring
on, under ordinary circumstances, a
series of panics, but the country weath
ered them with hardly a sign of dis
tress. For example, on May 9 there was
a speculative crash in Wall strcoot
which many had predicted would sweep
over tho country; it was comparatively
a mere (lurry, and It made absolutely
no impression on peimanent and sub
stantial values.
Then thcro was the shortage in tho
corn crop, amounting to nearly 700,000,
000 bushels, following which came the
strike of tins amalgamated Iron and
htecl workers, which for a time threat
ened to constrict all building operations
and arrest tho majority of our indus
tries. The assassination of the presi
dent and tho tnllaii.se of the copper
corner came in quick succession, either
huftlclcnt ordinarily to upset business,
but in this case hardly making a ripple
on its sui face.
Tho truth Is that the foundations of
American prosperity as laid by ltepub
llcan administration are tou deep and
broad to he shaken by passing gusts of
adverse circumstance. Combinations for
tho purposo of holding up this pros
perity or forcing it into artificial chan
nels often look alarming on paper, es
pecially on yellow paper; but the nation
is bigger than any of them and when
Its Interests conflict with theirs, theirs
go down.
It Is high time for summer to get
clown to bublness.
It Harks an Epoch.
J
UDGIOD In the light of expected
consequences, tho successful
conclusion in congress of tho
long fight for an isthmian caiml
constitutes a circumstance of the very
first inognltude. After nil tho delays
; vliich have Intervened slnco tho pro
ject of a canal first curno into publlo
discussion, It ecpins difficult to accus
tom' oneself to the Idea that work is
really soon to begin; but as the law
novv ;stapds no other conclusion is
Vtcnuble.
Tho act authorizes the president to
pay to the New Panama Canal com
pany, of 1'Vance, when ho Is satisfied
jis Jto-Jts title, ?40,000,0oo, In full for all
'"Jt;rIgiits, papers and property. It also
feuthoilzes him to acquire from tho re
public of Colombia, upon such terms
as he may deem reasonable, exclusive
and perpetual control of a strip of
land not less than six miles wide and
rnore, If ho thinks advisable, this land
End the ports at either end to be sub
feet at all times to such police and
lanltary rules and regulations as may
do necessary In the Interest of order
find health, Should tho ofllclals of Co
lombia prove excecsive In their de
mands with respect to this desired con
cession, the president is empowered to
abandon tho Panama route and to en
ter Upon negotiations for the conces
sions required by tho Nlcnragtta route.
When the title and concessions shnll
have been arranged to his satisfaction,
ho Is authorized to go abend with pre
parations and contracts for tho nctunl
construction of the canal, tho one con
dition to bo that the ennal shnll be
large enough to admit and pass ships
of tho greatest tonnngc and draft now
In use or reasonably to bo anticipated.
Tho president Is authottzod to appoint
and fix the duties and pay, subject to
review by congress, of a canal com
mission of seven members, who arc
virtually to ho his agents In supervis
ing tho building of tho canal; and to
meet tho cost of tho canal a two per
cent, twenty-year popular gold bond
Issue Is authorized up to the amount of
$10,000,000.
Thus It can bo seen that there Is lit
tle danger of further fooling In this
matter. Theodore Roosevelt will sec to
It that tho canal shall be pushed for
ward just as fast as snail appear to bo
consistent with good work and safety.
What this will mean in the develop
ment of American commerce and pres
tige is so well understood by attentive
students of public affairs as to make
further comment unnecessary. Rut it
deserves to bo noted that tho success
ful ending of the campaign for canal
legislation, us well as the bright pros
pect of administrative promptness and
efficiency, rolled new credit upon con
structive Republican statesmanship.
Lord Kitchener declines to bo lion
ized. He evidently proposes to keep his
huto on.
A Noticeable Difference.
THE ACTION of tho Demo
crats of the house In ignoring
the so-called Philippine "out
rages" and Imperialism in
general, and in confining their formula
tion of campaign issues to the trusts
and the abuses of corpotate power from
which many people suffer is about tho
first exhibition of political wisdom that
the present managers of the national
Democracy have shown. It occupies a
ground of strategic value and frames
an accusation which the Republican
party will have to repel.
So long as the Democracy simply
howled against the American soldier
and the American flag, it was Its own
worst opponent. So long as its attitude
in national affairs was merely to con
demn eveiy thing done by the other side
it received very little attention from
intelligent people. But tho endeavor to
fix upon Republican administration re
sponsibility for, increases In tho prices
ov necessaries of life, though wo do not
think that it can bo sustained, is poli
tically clever. It evidences a return of
brains in the Democratic leadership.
The howl over high prices following
the enactment of the McKInley tariff
elected Grover Cleveland. Those high
prices were the best thing for the Am
erican worklngman that ever happened
to him, because .they indicated a revival
of American Industry and were the pre
liminary symptoms of the marvelous
expansion of American production and
commerce which, under the adminis
tration of tho author of that tariff law
and under an economic regime similar
to the one which Cleveland and the
Democratic party temporarily over
threw, placed tills country far in the
lead among the great nations of the
earth and culminated in the most pros
perous period In American history.
Wo arc again having high prices
high in this sense, that they .sullice to
enable the payment of good and steady
wages to labor, especially as compared
with the wages paid under Democratic
administration, while at the same time
returning encouraging dividends to
capital and enterprise. Hence the Demo
cratic leaders in congress think that
they can effect a repetition of history
by repeating the campaign cries of 1S92.
In our judgment their expectation will
be disappointed, and chiefly because
there is In tho white house a young man
of financial and personal independence
who lias already put in motion tho legal
machinery necessary to develop the
power of the federal government to
restrain great combinations of capital
from encroaching upon the natural
rights of tho people; and because tho
great mass of the people without re
gard to party have confidence In ills
honesty of purpose, fearlessness and
good faith.
When Theodore Roosevelt started
the fcoeral department of justice upon
the task of collecting information re
lative to the beef trust he established
the Issue which the leaders of tho
Democracy In tho house aro now feebly
Imitating; but with ono very Important
difference. While tho Democra.Uo party
has never done more than to cull names
and make faces at trusts, ho took
action. The voters have not failed to
notice this difference.
Geologic discoveries in California have
revealed that In early ages there was
on this continent a species of flying rep
tile eight feet long and bhaped like a
crocodile. This has been replaced in
modern 'times by the flying rumor,
which Is generally uglier and worse,
Electric Locomotion.
THE POSSIBILITY that Scran
ton, through its coming con
nection with tho Westing
house Interests', may bo the
theater of important experiments in the
application of electricity to tho long
distance hauling of freight and passen
gers, gives a local tlngo of interest to
tin article In tho July Forum, with re
gard to tho prospects of electric rail
roading, Tho author of this article, an exper
ienced engineer, considers tho question
economic rather thun technical, To
build an electric machlno capable of
doing tho worl; now dona by the steam
locomotive Is no task for tho modern
masters of electricity; tho problem
comes when railroad men aro asked to
throw away tho millions they have in
vested In bteam engines In order to
experiment with electric engines. M.
Sauvagc, one of the best railway au
thorities In Europe, estimates tho value
of the tit earn locomotives of the world
at 1 1.000.000,000, a sum that no railway
executive or board of directors Is anx
ious to toss Into the scrap heap. Says
tho Forum writer, Henry Harrison
yuploc:
"The cost of motive power In railway
service Is estimated at about forty per
cent, and of labor at sixty per cent.,
and .on this basis tho Inllucnco of any
economy In motive power would bo Icfs
than one-half Hint which Would appear
from a direct comparison of fuel costs.
When It Is considered, however, that
the operating expenses practically
equal the labor cost, It will be seen
that the Item of fuel Is really only
about twenty-five per cent, of the total
cost. This means that oven If electric
traction were capable of saving one
half the fuel now required for steam
locomotive traction, an altogether un
warranted' assumption, tho economy In
total expense would be but twelve per
cent. As a matter of fact, the most
recent experience indicates that elec
tric traction will enter as an auxiliary
to the steam locomotive, that It will be
used for suburban and local traffic,
while powerful Bteam locomotives will
retain their pre-eminence for hauling
heavy through trains of high speed.
The transition will thus come gradual
ly; the steam locomotives being
'scrapped' as they are superannuated,
and Improved methods gradually re
placing them."
This, it must bo confessed, docs not
look very encouraging to Mr. Westing-
house's expectation of the early sub
stitution of electric for steam power in
haulage. But there Is no telling what
this intensely practical wizard has up
his sleeve. Wo trust that It will bo
something which, when it Is produced
for a show down, will contribute liber
ally to the growtli of Seranton.
Greene and Gaynor, Obcrlln Carter's
alleged and fugitive pals In the Savan
nah harbor frauds, have thus far suc
cessfully resisted all attempts at their
extradition. It is claimed that the offi
cials of Quebec, or some of them, have
shown very suspicious symptoms In
their treatment of the application of
agents of this government for tho fugit
ives' return for trial. Let us hope that
such suspicions are unwarranted.
During the past ten years America's
import of canned fruits and vegetables
was only four per cent, of the home
production, while there was during the
same period an increase of 350 per cent,
in the export of canned fruits and of
136 per cent, in the export of canned
vegetables. The time is not far distant
when our tropical possessions will sup
ply every want in these two directions
not now supplied at home.

The Trtifb as to
the Cost of Living
IN THE March number of tho bulletin
of the department of labor, the com
missioner, Carroll D. Wiight, has col
lected from published prices current
on a 'certain day of each vcek from 1S90
to 1901, inclusive. On some of the articles
tho pi Ices differ during tho year, like
butter, eggs, fruit and vegetables. But
lie gives the current prlco lor each week
during the year, and the footing of the
several weeks is set clown as tho average
prlco for tho year. The price In Chicago
for best beef cattle was in 1S90 $4.S7 per
hundred pounds; In 1891, $.".88, and for tho
seven years following, ranged from $4 59
to $.".ri0, avci aging $3.a. In 1699, $3.99, and
In 1001. $0.12.
A similar condition of things is shown
In almost every articlo of consumption.
Tho pi lees in 1S90 and 1891 were nearly as
high as shown for 190u and 1901, while
ftom 1S!! to 1897 there was a general
depression in almost everything. We
have selected a number of the most im
portant items, which, if analyzed, will
show that it did not cost a family for
necessities In 1901 more than it did In 1890;

MB. CORNELL'S CANDIDACY.
From tho Carboudato Leader.
Tho near approach of tho Republican
primaries has caused tho political pot to
again boll merrily, Tho list of candidates
for nomination has aroused much Inter
est, Thcro Is n very general discussion
of the names thai will come beforo tho
party voters on July 8 and in a majority
of cases there Is tho usual division of
opinion. But both tho rank nnd flto
oppeitr to have sattled lnrgoly on Hon.
William Council for a renomlnatlon to
congress.
This Is the leading office to bo filled this
fall and the fact thnt tho minds of tho
Republicans seem already fixed on a can
didate shows that they appreciate tho
faithful and efficient work dono by Con
gressman Council for the district and
tho party nt largo, That ho is tho mott
formidable candldato they could put for
ward goo3 wthout saying. He has dem
onstrated that ho is admirably fitted to
look after nil local interests and through
his efforts and influences the district hns
been recognized by congress nnd tho na
tional administration as never before.
The wisdom of the determination of tho
party to rcnomlnnto him Is therefore ap
parent. In honoring him tho Republicans
will honor themselves and the cntlro dis
trict. Mr. Connell hns been nn active, and
successful worker at Washington slnco
his first election to congress. Illic has
certainly earned tho right to a re-election
this fall and If nominated by tho Repub
licans on July 8 will undoubtedly succeed
himself in the position and continue to
glvo his constituents tho benefit of tho
exceptional abilities which ho has dis
played slnco his entry upon a political
career.
WAKE UP, CONGRESS.
Editor of Tho Tribune
Sir: In tho past ten years our trade
with tho Orient has gained moro than
254 per cent. This is very .gratifying, but
tho question immediately arises, bow
much greater would havo been our gain,
had wo possessed regular lines of Amer
ican owned ocean steamships making
weekly sailings to all tho principal ports
of Asia and Oceanicn? Think of tho im
mense amount wo shall havo paid cut
to foreigners for freights on tho $124,000,000
shipped, nnd to bo supplied, In 1902.
Without enlarging on tho national pres
tige we have failed to gain, is it not hu
miliating that our consul general nt Bang
kok, Slam, Is obliged to say: "In eighteen
years I havo not seen a single vessel in
this port flying the American flag at the
masthead, except ono gunboat."
As pertinently as the Prince of Wales
recently said, "Wako up, England," can
we say, anent tho ship subsidy bill,
"Wake up, congress."

An Offer That Jefferson Could Not
Accept.
Joseph Jefferson, the veteran actor. In
a Philadelphia theatre recently spoke at
a meeting In the interest of tho Actors'
Church Alliance, nnd, after espoubing tlio
causo of the believers in tho Shakespeare
theory of authorship, as opposed to the
Baconian theory, told a story of an ex
perience In "Rip Van Winkle " He said
that In a western town, after tho first
night of tho pluy, ho received a piofusely
complimentary letter fiom a citizen, who
afterward called. "My namo is Dunk," ho
said. "I am thp inventor of 'Dunk's Pat
ent Spring Bed.' Mr. Jefferson, 1'vo been
mightily pleased with your play, and ns
a sort of return for tho pleasure you've
given mo and mine I want to rnako you
a present of ono of my spring beds."
Mr. Jefferson said ho could only accept
tho gift and asked if no remuneration
whatever was expected.
"Tho only request I havo to make,"
said the man, "Is that at the point
where you wako up thcro in tho third
act, nfter your twenty years' uleop, you
just say that you 'would not havo slept
so badly if you'd been In ono of Dunk's
Patent Spiing Beds." Brooklyn Kaglc.
