Close of the Educational Contest.
T
,HK TKIRITXK offers Its slli-
cerest congratulations and
best wishes to the winners
in Its latest Educational
Contest. They have.. worked lung and
earnestly for the victory and it has
come wholly through merit. It does
them credit and leaves no opening for
Jealousy.
We also extend our friendly greeting
to those who did not win, It is a rule
of life that many are called but few
chosen. Nothing can change that. The
most that human society can do is to
give every one a fair chance. The TrU
bune feels that It gave every contestant
n fair chance. Variations in skill, per
severance, opportunity caused the vary
ing returns at the end, but no con
testant who worked will be the worse
for having done so. Defeat now, if
studied wisely, may be' t,he stepping
stone to success hereafter.
This year's contest, although having
to hear up against the handicap of
the strike, which continued throughout
Its whole period, has been by far the
most successful yet, representing double
the returns In money and new sub
scribers made by the contest of last
year. AVe feel that tills successful con
elusion is largely due to the friendly
interest and good will of our regular
patrons, as well as to the enterprise of
tho alert young Americans who have
seized this excellent chance to Increase
their preparation for the coming years.
To both we extend grateful ac
knowledgment. Judge Pennypacker Is not as glib a
piomiser as Jlr. I tllsnn. but his
record for performance challenges com
parison. Did You Ever See Such Nerve '.
THE OIK1AN of the political
highwaymen who took ad
vantage of the absence of T.
P. Ilobun nt the death-bed
of his mother to roll him of the nomi
nation for Orphans' court Judge and
perpetrate a fraud so outrageous upon
the Democratic convention that the
courts ot Dauphin county had no al
ternative but to erase It from the offi
cial ballot, has the effrontery to call
upon Republicans tu vote an endorse
ment of their rapine. Did ever Die gall
of madness go further'.'
Caught red-hnnded In the act of out
raging the rules and equity of their
party by the most cold-blooded faking
of credentials and shonghalng of elected
delegates In the history of crooked
Democratic politics In our county, and
pilloried before the state, these cheer
ful villains yet have tho nerve to t
up as martyrs and try to work a swind
ling sympathy game
They underrate the Intelligence of tho
people. There will, Indeed, be "a revo
lution by ballot" In this county this fall
nnd a crushing blow" to teach that
"American manhood" will not be
"browbeaten or outraged"; but Lynctt,
Fahey &. Co, will be under the revolu
tion and at the receiving end of tho
blow, Their nerve will have dents In It
eight days from date.

lican prosperity pievalled over Demo

Record of Joseph Oliver.
FOP. forty-two years a resident
of Hyde Park, knowing Its
people and needs like n book;
for several years a worner In
and about the mines, and thus fully
RC(nn)Jnted with the Interests of the
mine, workers, who recognize In him a
faithful friend; a pillar of the printers'
union, one of the model labor unions of
the country; and enjoying the benelit of
seven years' experience In councils,
during which term of service his hon
esty was never questioned nor his e.'ll
clency forgotten, Jqsepli Oliver goes
before the voters of the First .l.eglsla
tve district with strong lecommenda.
tlons.
The fact that Mr, Oliver has been one
of the most Industrious and successful
representatives thut Vest Scrunton ms
ever hud In either brunch of the city
councils fives a cluo' to what may be
expected ot htm nt Iturrlsburg. He Is
nn experienced sneaker, Is well versed
In pnrllnmcntnry law, Ims lertrneil the
tcchulcitl features of lejrlslutlvo jiio
cctltii't! nnd Is tiuullried to oeeiiiy nt
onto mi liiiparlaiit place unions; the
liiwmakers nt the state capital. It Is
hardly necessary to say, because every
man In Jlyde Park knows It, that It a
crooked hill comes before .Too Oliver he
will spot Its crookedness In n minute
and light It tooth and nail, no matter
who Its booker Is.
The Mining ttepubllcan First district,
the home of a former speaker of the
house and looked upon by the party
lenders as one of the fortresses of Itc
pttbllcau strettKth In Pennsylvania, will
not make the mistake of turning down
so worthy a Itepubllean as Joseph Oli
ver for :t Democrat. On the contrary,
It is safe to believe that Air. Oliver's
majority will establish a new record In
the district, as It should.
Uon't vote with a political parly that
can do nothing but find fault. It Isn't
American.
The Only Way.
WHEN YOU get down' to the
meat ot the political
ultlltit l.-.ti I.. Mtt ...........
ti, ...... tji a ,,, Liua IWII(I,V
nnd state, the question
before the voters for decision a week
from Tuesday Is prosperity versus hard
times. The Itepubllean ticket stands
for prosperity. The Democratic ticket
chimin for hard limes. Each citizen
must take his choice, and should moke
it knowingly.
All tho little side-issues of personal
or factional defamation and detraction
become relatively unimportant beside
this one great and overshadowing Issue,
which touches every home and every
puckct-book, to bless or blight. Scandal
mongers may scrape the gutters and
the muck-heaps for the row and fetid
materials for their pestilent vocation;
the name and fame of candidates may
not escape the customary ordeals of
abuse, distortion and vituperative at
tack; mildewed phrases of calumniation
may he withdrawn from musty recesses
for another periodic onslaught upon
Quay, Council and other leaders of the
Itepubllean party, but these things
amuse more than they influence poli
tical action. The asinine braying and
hysterical shrieks of newspapers like
the Sernnton Times, which assume that
their own lunacy is contagious; and
the vociferations of the hired apostles
of calamity who assail the public ear
with night-bird croaklngs of woe and
gloom such annoyances -weigh but
lightly In the scale of Intelligent Judg
ment as It scrutinizes the record of Re
publican policy and achievement.
The Democratic party has always
been vigorous In Its "barker" depart
ment, tf tin horns, megaphones and
piercing declamation could stampede
public judgment, the Democracy would
never want for office. If the sins of
omission and commission of which it
Is always guilty when It gets into
power could be put out of mind by
the energy with which it defames Re
publican achievement and tries to be
cloud public opinion by abuse and false
testimony, it would soon have Its ap
petite for place and patronage grati
fied. Hut the American people are on
to the Democratic party and Its
methods. They have cut their eye
teeth. They permitted themselves to be
fooled In ISO-' and It is too soon yet to
expect them to be re-buncoed.
This year the question in their minds
is how to preserve the national pros
perity. There is Just one answer. Con
tinue In power the party that made It
possible. That prosperity was not ac
cidental. It enmti about as the calcu
lated result of effective Republican
pulley and It can he maintained only
by the maintenance of that policy un
broken. To this end, support the en
tire Republican ticket. Vole for every
man on It. Deprive the Democracy of
even partial encouragement. Let it lie
known thtoughout the land that Ite
publlean Pennsylvania has not falter
ed In party faith nor fallen so low in
common sense as to have recourse to
Democratic quack physicians for the
alleviation of Incidental and minor ite
publlean Ills.
What is there In Robert E. Paulson's'
political past to give any value to his
numerous and varied promises of re
form".' When did he redeem one of
those promises?
Pennsylvania and the Tarllf.
(Senator Quay at Pittsburg.)
THE TIME has come when the
Republicans In Pennsylvania
for their own sakes must
cease Intestine strife and
form line of battle for resistance to tho
common enemy. We have recently seen
the sheet lightning and heard the voice
of a coining storm In the northwestern
states, We have listened to tho utter
ances of our brethren In Iowa, Wiscon
sin and elsewhere, nnd have witnessed
the dramatic and puthetlo exit from
public life or the distinguished speaker
of tlu national house of representu
lives, The tariff Is the life of Pennsylvania.
The present tariff fulfills all national
requirements and oppresses no person
or Interest. It needs no revision. Re
vision of the tariff means reduction of
tho tariff, Reduction of the tariff
means reduction of the profits of the
manufacturer. Reduction of the profits
of the manufacturer menus reduction of
the wages of the laborer. Reduction of
the wages of tho laborer means loss of
business to those who supply the
laborer with tho necessaries and com
forts of life.
We In Pennsylvania are satisfied with
existing conditions, and as to revision
will have none. Agitators may cry
"nevlslon!" "Itevlslonl" but there Willi
be no revision while Pennsylvania
maintains her cointnnndlnp; position In
the Itepubllean pnrty and nation a
position she can only maintain by ab
solute harmony In council and unity In
action among her Itepubllean voters,
Attorney Clencral Knox Is drafting nn
nntl-trust bill; nnd you can wager your
last cent thnt It will be n stiff one,
Neptune's Heirs Apparent.
THE MONROE doctrine has a
perennial Interest for for
eign speculative politicians
and publicists, much greater
now than ever It had before. "Tho doc
trine," says Hlr Frederick Pollock In
tho Nineteenth Century for October,
"Is a living power because It has been
adopted by the government nnd people
or the United Htutes." This Is true,
and Sir Frederick means It In a con
temporaneously vital sense. There are
many other living Issues In the United
Slates of universal Importance nnd
concrete Interest to Europe which nro
practically unnoticed, or If referred to
by Its press are merely criticised ns
primarily domestic affairs which ulti
mately must bo entirely regulated by
the experience nnd judgment ot the
American people, although they affect
the fundamental economic status of the
most powerful and progressive stales
of the Old World. The reason Is not
far to seek or dllTleult to discover. The
Woltpolltlk proclaimed by the German
emperor nnd which ho Is consistently
seeking to shape by building n naval
armament which will transform tho
empire Into a first class maritime as
well as military power, must bo con
summated nt the expense, if not neces
sarily to the detriment, of Great Bri
tain, Russia, France as colonial em
pires or of the United Stntes ns the
trustee of the Inviolable Integrity of
the American continent. The waste
lands of the world, if not occupied, are
already pre-empted. Welt poll tile Is a
term of complex political significance.
If the policy which It implies was one
of commercial expansion so far as this
country is affected by the idea and the
impulse that has been given to it by
the kaiser, we should regard It with
stoic equanimity. We can meet Ger
man competition in the markets ot the
world on n perfectly friendly and po
litically unbiased footing. But Wclt
polltlk means much more than this. It
pre-supposes not merely colonial mar-
kets, , but colonies and colonial sub
jects.' In what direction, then, will the Ger
man emperor and the German people,
for the emperor's pronouncements are
only tho measure of his subjects' ambi
tion, seek this territorial aggrandize
ment which he proclaims that his coun
trymen must have, when his navy In
1007 reaches the maximum of pro
jected .strength? At whose expense?
It is impossible to Indicate. The
German emperor Is not the man
to wait upon events If he can
bend them to his designs. The Russian
empire, from west to cast, is an Intro
grated whole. The colonial empire of
France, ns an intrinsic acquisition, is
hardly worth the bones of a Pommer
lan grenadier. If die Germanic ab
solution of Holland is ever effected,
the reversion of her colonies would
follow, as a matter of course. A terri
torial readlustment of the map of con
tinental Europe would be delimitated
on the theater of a bloody, devastat
ing and probably an utterly indecisive
war. Hut this is a culmination ab
horrenL to the emporer's policy and
plans. The destiny of the Fatherland,
the emperor believes, is upon the sea.
To litis end his statesmanship, his
energy and his ambition are directed.
Nothing delinite lias leaked out as to
the purport of the Interview between
the kaiser and the czar at their recent
meeting at Revel. The emperor of
Russia is signally taciturn, both from
disposition and policy. The oratorical
effusiveness of William 11 Is In strange
contrast to the sphinx-like reticence of
Nicholas II. The czar is wooed by
every crowned head and government
In Europe, while the emperor Is the
most Incorrigible political lllrt that Iho
world has over seen. When the kaiser
was steaming out of Revel, this
strange signal was made from the
Uoheuzollerii to this Stnndart: "The
ruler ot the Atlantic sends his greet
ings to the ruler of the Pacific"; to
which the czar sent the chilling re
sponse; "A pleasant voyage." It Is
e Ident thnt the kaiser. In his enthus
iasm, forgot till about us and that
strange device of ours, "tho Monroe
doctrine," when dethroning poor Nep
tune in the Atlantic and the Pacific.
At tho same time, cnvlllerly enough, ho
Ignored Grout Rrltuln's not Inconsider
able oceanic Interests, west and east.
Does not this incident give a hint of
his purposes?

iMisgou?rn?d
Pennsylvania"
(Senator Quay nt PlUslnng.)
I
DESIRE to present to you some Btntls-
lies ben ring upon the alleged nllsgov
eminent of thu slntp of Pennsylvania
n stato whose only causa to blush la
that her own children are her trnduccre.
I assert that Pennsylvania Is tho best
governed state In this I'nloit Look at hor
educational system,
Under tho Democratic nihnlnlslrntlon In
1SU0 the amount atmrnnrlatcd for common
scliools was 80,000. In 1RGS tho Republi
cans had removed tho stato tax from
real estates and Increased the common
school appropriation 7S per cent, over
isuo. In lR7t they had Increased It 3r,7 per
cent, over lsi',0 and at llui litst session ot
the legislature It was Increased mnro than
fiOU per cent, over 1S7I. Prom Ifrtl to IS'iO
Inclusive, the Inst 10 years of Democratic
contrnl, the amount was M.41I.R00. The
amounts npiirnprluted from 1S!:1 to 1002 In
elusive, were tfl.NW.OOO. From 1SSI to 1K12
Inclusive were J:'i),n0u,0fi0, showing an In
crease In tho past lo years over the pre
ceding 10 years of over Tfl per cent. The
appropriations for salaries of county su
perintendents of common schools from
Ifltp to 1M2 Inclusive were J1.00J.0OO. From
1SKI to ISM Inclusive were $800,000. Tho ap
propriations for the education ot touchers
by tlie normal schools from ISM to IDOJ In
clusive wero JU'tu.OOO: from ISM to IBM In
clusive were JG.'C.OOO, an Increase of nearly
100 per cent, over the pioceillng 10 years.
Tho appropriation made directly to tho
norma! wcliool (luring the past 10 years
were Jl.L'Ul.ooo. In addition thereto tho
amounts loaned to the norma! schools to
erect buildings, etc., and upon which they
pay no Interest, were $1 ,.",0:1,000. Tho total
amounts appropriated to the common
schools, normal schools and for salaries
of county superintendents, during the past
10 years wero $58,o;i:i,O00. From 1MW to
1!KC. Inclusive, Pennsylvania appropriated
nearly double the amount of the preced
ing ,10 years and much moic than It
gave in Its entire history prior to ISM. Its
appropriations to tho common schools
alone during the past 10 years would more
than purchase the entire school property
of the state at its estimated value of $,"l,
12:',"."S.SS, as sliown'by the report of tho
superintendent of public Instruction for
1001.
Let us notice the similar statistics of
our neighboring stato of Ohio. The valua
tion or real estate tu Ohio for the year
1000 was Jl.274.203.72t. The tax rate on
svne, levied by state for school purposes
alone, was one mill, which produced $1,
27t,'.'0.1,72, The amount paid by that state
to Its counties for school purposes at tho
rate of of $1.1.", for each enumerated youth
was $l)7iil,0:i0.2.", of which the real estate
of the counties contributed nil but JI00-
whlle tiie tax upon horses, cattle
hogs, .sheep, etc., paid a large part of the
Inst named amount. This tux on the renl
estate was In addition to the local school
taxes. Pennsylvania pays about $1 ouch
for her total number of pupils, and lis
real estate contributes nothing.
Now notice what New York does for her
common schools. The total value of real
estate there In 1000 was $4,S11,59J.."0. Tho
tax rate on the same, levied for school
purposes alone. In 1000. was .7(1 of n mill,
which produced $3,G-ij,S10.T2. Tlie state dis
tributed to its common scliools nboUt $4,
ir,0,.",00, of which the real estate paid over
three-fourths. Since 1S07 the real estate
of Now York has paid In state taxes over
$200,000,000. Pennsylvania real estate dur
ing the same period has paid nothing.
Massachusetts only appropriates about
$273,000 to her public schools, or about 3
per cent, of her revenues; New York. 1.1
per cent.; Ohio, 2H per cent., and Penn
sylvania. 40 per cent.
Dining and since tlie Civil war to May
31. 1002, Pennsylvania has expended for
the support and education of soldiers' and
sailors' orphans ?ll..'i7;!.S.'t!.0:l. Over 17,000
such pupils have been admitted to her
loldlers' orphans scliools and we arc now
maintaining nnd educating nearly l,10n.
Another comparison of great importance
may be cited. The state debt of Pennsyl
vania In ISM was $W.HS.21;t.S2. or over
$13.01 for every man, woman and child
within its borders. Today tho stato debt
of Pennsylvania is not !i cents per capita,
Tlie iimuinl Interest of our state debt in
1SW was Jl.9iXl.00. Todnv It Is practically
nothing,
The public funded debt of Ohio
In lOoil was $ 'Hl.fiiri 00
And the Irreducible stale debt. l,r,i;7Vl 70
New Yolk's state debt on Sep
tember 3ii, 1000, was I0,130.i',i 0T
The total funded debt of
Massachusetts as shown by
auditor's report of 1000 was... iK.O'JO.Sir, mj
The total amount of sinking
funds to secure payment
thcteror was 1S.223.10:! 00
Making an ictunl debt of $I7.SH!,1:1. or
over $17 ir" uipltn. In 1S00 tlie real estate
of New Voi I; paid Sij.fC, per cent, of stnto
taxes. Since I0S7 Hie real property of New
York has paid in state taxes over $3cni,
000.000. We In Pennsylvania during the
same period have paid nothing.
The Republican party In Pennsylvania
Is charged with criminal extravagance in
Its conduct of tlie state government. The
following tabic shows hi round numbers
tlie estimated cost of ordinary expenses
of the various departments of Pennsyl
vania, New York and Miismii hut-cits for
two years:

It will lie homo in mind that Massachu
setts bus only about one-half of 1I10 pop

As to local taxation, renl estate, horses,
tattle, pleasure carriages, occupants and
watches have been exempted, Millions of
dollars hove been exempted 111 dividing
with tho counties the cost of maintaining
their Insane. Formerly the entire cost
fell on the counties,
The revenue from licenses for tho snlo

Into tln stato treasury, In 1S01 tho vari

ships of Pennsylvania received from that
source alone over $l,0oO,0O0, and upon that
basis $10,000,001) luivo been received in the
10 years last past.
Tho nmount of personal property lax,

So much for this misgoverned stato of
