The French government nppehrs to have .'i difficult time In the performance of duty ns prescribed by the laws. It Is seldom that one party or another Is not throwing stones and yelling "liber ty." Pattlson and Cleveland. .- CLEVELAND'S first sullen act I was to haul down the Amorl- can llag In Hawaii. It was run up again by McKlnley and will continue to float over Hawaii unless Cleveland should be made presi dent in 1904. His next act was the re peal of the McKlnley protective tariff by the enactment of the Wilson free trade bill, and his third great measutc was to open up what were known as "Cleveland's Soup Factories," which were rim for the purpose of affording relief to tho hundreds of thousands thrown out of employment by the operation of the "Wllfon bill, and who could not llnd room In the overcrowded almshouses. The memory of those wretched times are still so fresh that it may well be asked: Do American workmen want a repetition of them? As the election of Pattlson was twice the precursor of tho election of Cleveland, the first step towards restoring them is the election of Pattlson as governor of Pennsylvania. y The prosperity of the country is such that business people have no time to engage In a contest over the presi dential nomination. The country was all right under the administration of the great McKlnley, and it Is forging ahead under tho splendid direction of the youngest man that has ever occu pied tho presidential chair. The peo ple arc more than satisfied to leave the management of their national af fairs In sucli good hands. The Price of Oreatness. THE PIUCE of greatness is ever high. Occasionally we see a. man who seems to bear a charmed life, going through the world at the head of the procession with little evidence of fa tigue or anxiety upon. him. Yet some where, somehow, he Is paying tho price. It may not be In physical decay, it may not be in apparent mental loss; yet perhaps In nights of Insomnia, in tho neglect of dearer ties, In the corroding of loftier ambitions still unfulfilled, he Is paying the price. It seems but a few months ago that the world wns ringing with the mar velous success of a man who stood upon the heights of Industrial and financial glory ut an age wiien most men who liave had to climb the .steps alone have but just reached the foot of the llrst ascent. Uy his own exertions this man had risen to such a dlszy pinnacle of fame that all people wondered, and there were no words to predict tho future of his greatness. Today wo read that Charles M. Schwab, broken In health, shaken In nerve, has had to relinquish leadership or perhaps the most colossal industrial enterpiise on earth and seek some silent corner of tho world to gather up It may be tho frayed threads of his ebbing energies and nervous:. forces, i(At tho age of forty h'ovIS tftUrdlten ifbwn man; rich, It la true, but with tho greatest am bitions of his amazingly active life un satisfied; with no child to Inherit his vast wealth and cherish tho traditions of his wonderful career, with a. might ier hand than his own to pluee a har rier across his path to still loftier height of power. Tho pi ice is great. The world that, , bus applauded this man's progress, has rejoiced In hla simplicity and generosity, will earnest ly wish for lilm a swift return to health and a continuance of his phenomenal success, ; The "toittflse'r. editor of The Times fiercely! brandished his snickersnee at The Tribune lust evening and with sud den an unexpected vigor asserted that we Imv'e accused tho Democrats of tho countrj? of being Ignorant und lacking Intelligence. We husten to deny tho olIegatlpirJscRtr be It from The Tribune to lutebtlonally charge the runk and file of Nomocracy with luck of Intelli gence, ,Tho fact that ut tho last two presidential elections the Democrats so effectually smothered the ambitions of William Jennings Uryan and rebuked the blatherskite organs of Tho Times calibre vho whooped It up for h'!ij dur ing caijhj'cujnpalgn, s evidence, tfot, they are "hot eo Ignorant as the false prophets had. hoped. If the Democrats depended entirely upon the humbug Times for Information there -would no doubt soon be excuse for nccuslng them of lack of Intelligence. Sorry for Pittsburg OUH ESTEEMED contempor nr.v, tho Pittsburg Gazette, Hay's that one reason why tho Lackawanna Iron and Steel company removed from Scrnnlon to Buffalo was tho lack of railroad facilities nnd competition. The lack of railroad facilities had nothing nt nil to do with the transference of the works. What tho Gazette means by "competition" In this connection we nro nt n loss to understand, Presum ably tho Lackawanna Iron nnd Steel company will have ns many competi tors In Buffalo ai It had here nnd would have ns many hero ns It will have In Buffalo. Tho only competitor It has had to fenr, or moot cither, in Scrnnton of Buffalo Is the ubiquitous United States Steel corporation, and It It meets that successfully In the Immense works which It Is now erecting, the wisdom of tho choice of tho site which It has selected Is fully Justified. Tho Lackawanna gave, and wns prepared to give, all tho facilities the steel company needed. It wns their Interest and their policy to do so. When tho first rumors of tho proposed removal of the South steel mills became n current topic In this city, President Truesdale em phatically declared that anything he could do to retain the mills In Scran ton would be done. Ho wns as good ns his word. The directors of tho steel mill never made any complaint of the lack of facilities, although it has been vaguely said that they did about charges for the haulage of ore from the lakes or Connellsvlllo. They had none to make, to be honest. They did protest against what they considered the exhorbltant rntes of ths Scranton Gas and Water company, but that was a comparatively small matter, and if there were no other reasons than that for their removal, the mills would be here still. Now that they are gone, It ennnot, In any way, adversely affect Scranton to state the primary, per haps the sole, reason for their removal. In the first place, the Great Lakes will bo the metropolis of the Iron and steel Industry of the country within a com paratively short time. The center of gravity of tho iron trade Is shitting from Pitt3burg to the Lakes. Pitts burg will always be a great city, a vast emporium of commerce, a wonder ful mart of all that the inventive genius, tho energy, and the financial enterprise of its citizens can produce. But it is not going to monopolize the Iron and steel manufacturing produc tivity of the country Indefinitely. The cities surrounding the Lakes, from Sault Sle Marie to Buffalo, and from Erie to Green Bay, will participate In It In a circuit, not to the exclusion, or perhaps in the end to the disadvant age, of Pittsburg, when It recovers from the shock which such decentral isation means. The iron trade must follow the natural sources of Its staples, coal and ore. Pittsburg has the advantage of the raw material In soft coal for coke; the Lakes have It In ore. These two minerals are not often found In proximate contiguity in this country, as they are, to a cer tain extent, in Groat Britain, Bel gium and Westphalia. Now the problem which the Iron master has to face Is whether it is more economical to abide by the coke ovens of Conncllsvlllo or sit down by tho ore deposits of the Lakes, with their additional marvelous advant ages of transportation. He has a choice, and it Is his privilege to fig ure upon which suits his Interest. It is a simple business proposition which he considers us to what is the most advantageous. There is no senti ment about it, or local chic patriot Ism, or anything of that kind. Many stockholders of the Lackawanna Iron and Steel company are Scranton men, but that has not prevented them from staking their fortunes on the shores of Lake Eric, in response to tho belief and the economic ten dency that upon the littoral of these mighty Inland waters the future of the Iron trade will bo concentrated. The. Gazette Is vaguely conscious of this, too, and uneasy at Its consciousness. It attributes to a shortage of freight cars, which was temporary, accidental and, to a great extent local, owing to the stupid and Irrational arrangement by which small railroads monopolized the transporting facilities of the greater corporations, a consequence out of all proportion to actual facts and potential changes. The conviction of tho more far-seeing of the Iron lords that the Lakes are to bo the metallurgical seat of their empire Is not presumptive, but Is be ing realized. Scranton has suffered all It can suffer Ih that way by deporta tion of her steel mills; but her citi zens und business people generally uro more sensible than to attribute to a fortuitous shortage of freight cars an Inexorable devolution of the iron and steel trade. Wo are sorry for Pitts burg, but what will be must be. A New Jersey vice-chancellor has re fused to enjoin tho proprietor of a laundry from burning soft coal. While he admits that the smoke may bo a nuisance, ho did not desire to prosecute business peoplo for what Is unavoidable owing to tho anthracite strike. When hard caul shall ngain become plentiful, tho vice-chancellor stated that he might entertain a similar complaint, but that at present he could not Interfere. This decision Is of great Interest to the pub lic. Many manufacturers have been driven to (he use of soft coal and would be driven out of business If an In junction were Issued. It Is only another deplorable condition resulting from ono of the most disastrous strikes on record. The public Is a helpless victim. China Moving. T3E state department has ne gotiated a tariff treaty with China through Its agent, T. S. Sherrett, a treasury ex pert. We do not yet know the details of this transaction. Wo may presume, however, that It will be reciprocal in the benefits which it will confer upon the contracting parties. Another treaty with the Chinese government has been effected by Great Britain which Is of the utmost Importance to tho commer cial world. Any treaty concessions which England makes with China nro equally shared' In by every other nation. She Bcoks no exclusive privileges! nor ns a free trade country would they be of any value to her If she did. Tlie most Important section In the treaty Is that tho Chinese government stands pledged to reform Its currencyi Instead of having as many and varied systems of currency ns they were provinces and even cities, n, uniform standard will be established throughout the emnlre. The tncl will bo of the snmo exchange value at Pekln,,Shnng- httl ns It will bo at any otner pori or in inrlor cltv. Only the foreign merchants who have had to keep track of the fluctuations In Chinese currency ns It was affected by the rise or fall In the price of silver nnd various other con tributory courses local or general can appreciate the Inestimable advantage of this step. It will unquestionably have more effect In opening up China to Western commerce than any other Innovation of national magnitude which which could be suggested. It demand ed tho untiring patience and expertness and honesty of tho Chinese banks to understand the mysterious vagaries of tho financial system of the Middle Kingdom. Only ono European had any conception of It. We need hardly re mark that we refer to Sir Robert Hart, the controller of tho Imperial customs. The gradunl abolition of tho llkin dues Is another sweeping reform to which tho Chinese govorment stands committed In this treaty. Tlie llkin dues, were nominally u system of Inter state tariffs, if we had anything cor responding to It In the country. The llkin was vicious in principle If it were honestly administered, but as it was administered In China it was admitted and accepted us an unparalleled sys tem of blackmail. It proves to dem onstration what a magnificent market China will In time offer, If the country Is permitted to develop naturally and nencefully along her own lines, that a bale of cotton, a box of petroleum or a case of matches was subjected to a valorem llkin duty of perhaps two hundred per cent, after It passed out of the imperial customs, before It reach ed the hands of the merchant to whom It was assigned. This tax will not be abolished, for such a stupenduous change in taxable resources of the provinces would lead to anarchy, but If the stipulations In the treaty are only fairly carried out, it will mitigate if not abolish the original system of of ficial peculation along the Innumerable canals, rivers and roads through which the foreign trade of the country slug gishly takes Its course. There are six new treaty ports to be opened. This means that the seaports of China s'o far as they are dominated by its government or that of Great Britain will be opened to the com merce of the world. The treaty will not of course apply to the "closed" ports of Germany or Russia or those In French China. For trade purposes these are. however, worthless and will verv nrobably always remain so. In a short time, we may expect that there will be no such thing as a treaty port in the Chinese littoral. There are twenty-nine sections in the Anglo-Chinese treaty. The three which we have referred to are however the principle ones. It is not unlikely that the treaty which Mr. Sherrett is said to have effected Is the one to which we have referred to as having been con cluded by Great Britain In conjunction with the United States. Considering the identity of policy purused by the two countries in China, there seems nothing improbable In the supposition. Be that as 'It may China is moving. Japan tumbled into the ocean of Western civilization with the impetuos ity of a mountain torrent. China Is moving toward It with the rigidity of a glacier. But she will get there In time. Perhaps In the end too soon for our occidental peace of mind. m Tlie experience of tho.Pittston girl the other day illustrates anew the folly of placing faith in matrimonial advertise ments. Surprising as it may seem matrimonial agencies often do a thriv ing business in the large cities, and many confiding people young and old are caught by alluring notices in the newspapers. As a rule the fascinating stories of poor girls or boys who have secured rich matrimonial partners through advertisements are purely "fake." When the truth concerning such an alliance really comes out It almost Invariably gives an experience like that of the Plttston young woman who married a worthless chap and soon became tired of him. The person who answers the "rich" advertiser seeking a. husband or wife stands less chance of securing the object to be desired than the "come-on" who buys green goods of the bunco-steerer. BOIL WATER, KILL FLIES. From tho Philadelphia Press. An epidemic of typhoid fever mcy do volop dining tho coming fall. Tho best preventives of this dlsisabo nro nn nccur nto knowledge of Its sources and a will ingness on tho pait of tho public to fol low rules that will neutralize those sources. Typhoid fever Is convoyed by polluted di Inking water. Infected milk, from soils saturated with Its germs and by uncooked vegetables. Files cun also curry Infection. All drinking wator should bo boiled, oven after it has been filtered; milk should bo uteiillzed, soils .that havo becomo contnmlnuted with diallings Bhould be puillled, all closets thoroughly and frequently disinfected and (lies exterminated as far as possible. OLEOMARGARINE. From the Plttsburs Times. Oleomargarine continues to pay the pen alty for Its dishonesty, Nobody doubts that tho stuff la a useful food product, npd had It started out honestly tu sell for what It Is probably by this time it would huye established itself as a recog nized staple of the larder Instead of n continbrand of tho puro food law, The decision by tho commissioner of Internul le venue, to the effect that palm oil muy not bo used In tho manufactiue of oleo margarine without subjecting It to the tax luld by congress on colored oleo margarine, Is strictly sounds NUISANCE AT OUR' BOORS, From the New York Mall and Express. Each day's new3 that comes from Venezuela, Colombia or Haiti makes t plainer that the United States will llnd it necessary, sooner or later, to put a Btop to tho ceaseleea brawling at our national doors. The internal conditions and rela- lion among themselves of nil tho Soitlh American republics savo those of tho northern Her nro better than for 'many years past. Nor Is thoro nny fault to llnd with Mexico lmdcr tho rtlto of Dlitz. But Contrnl America, tho northwest corner of the continent below the plngito spot of Haiti must be tatlcht tho lesson of peace.
