Entered at the Freeland PostoJJice as Second Class Matter. FREELAND, PA., FEBRUARY 4,1892. THE report that 20,000,000 of people are starving in Russia, where women sell the hair from (heir heads for small sums to devour food, where famished children devour rags and earth, where whole villages are reduc ed to poverty, is indeed a terrible in cident in this wonderful year, but the fact that in New York 150,000 people go to bed every night guests or charity, not knowing where a morning meal is to come from, with nothing whatever to do, hope even being dead, is a much greater factor in the problem of life to-day.— -Ex. IN an article published in another column the Philadelphia Record says it would be a matter of serious con sideration as to which candidate it would support in the event of Hill nnd Harrison being the nominees for President. The Record is not such a hide-bound partisan paper that it is going to support any man whom the Democratic machine thrusts upon it The candidate must fulfill the ueces sary requirements, that is more than Hill or any of his faction can do. The Record has taken a bold stand, but it is not alone in its light against Hill ism. OVER in Monroe county, which is usually good for 2500 Democratic majority, another paper haß joined the rapidly increasing army of tariff reform advocates. The Stroudsburg Times was for nearly four years run as an independent journal, but in the last issue it openly proclaims itself a devotee of Jeffersonian Democracy, and promises to do all in its power to abolish the system of corruption and extravagance which has contaminated the government, under Republican rule. The Time* is an influential paper in Monroe county, and if every Republican there is not converted by next November it will not be the fault of Editor Hughes. IN a speech made at the Home Market Club's dinner in Boston, Sen ator Hoar opposed the demand for the removal of the duty on bituminous coal, by asserting that "American coal of better quality can be laid down in Boston far cheaper than that from Nova Scotia." There is another club in Massachusetts which annoys statesmen by questions. This Ques tion Club some time ago addressed to Senator Hoar a letter, in which this remark was quoted, and the Senator was asked whether he believed tbat the duty on bituminous coal was in operative, and, if so, upon what ground he would object to the re moval of it. We understand that the Senator has not yet found time to answer these questions, which were ' respectfully brought to his attention at the suggession of many of his con- j stituents. THERE is but little doubt tbat the | people are with Grover Cleveland and ; not with the combine opposing him,' but the people do not always have their own way in national conventions. Even when instructed to vote for some particular candidate, delegates are prone to do as they please and they generally are pleased to act in accord- j uncewith the wishes of the politicians. Beculiar influences are brought to ■ bear which convince them that the people at home are mistaken and that it will be expedient, to make the can didate of the politicians their own. But the politicians may be reminded of this one fact: They are able, per haps, to force Cleveland off the track and force their party to accept an other standard-bearer of their own choosing, but they are uot able to dictate how the people shall vote at the polls. SINCE the Chilian war scare has blown over the public has had an op portunity to review in a quiet mau nor the series of events that led to the jingoism and bluster of the Re | publican administi ation in its deal ings with the South American repub lic. If the leading newspapers of the country can be relied upon to ex press the judgment of the people in i the matter, it would seem that the actions of Harrison and his cabinet are worthy ot the most severe con demnation. By magnifying trivial disputes with a nation that had just went through a terrible war inside its own borders, the administration thought to add fan.e nnd glory to its record by thrashing the little country, and if Americans were men that could be led by braggerts like Ben jamin B. the navy and army would now be engaged in the work. But the sham patriotism and false cry of "Defend the flag'' came from a source tbat has neither the respect or confidence of the public, and the Becond-term card has fallen flat. A man who would try to involve his country in such a war for the sake of personal ambition is not a good citi zen, even though he is President of the United States. THE editors of the Beaver Star, who were convicted last week by a packed j jury and a partisan judge for libeling' Matt Quay, have been sentenced to six months' imprisonment and a fine of tffiOO and costs. The sentence is a severe one, i but not severe enough to frighten tiie average editor of an independent news paper, and the battle against Quayism will continue as before. Hillism or Democracy. When, in 1884, in answer to the cry of "Turn the rascals out," Grover Cleve land was elected President he took the people at their word. Acting upon the | idea that a public office was a public trust, Mr. Cleveland sought to give the i country a Democratic administration based upon the principle of the greatest good to the greatest number. To the ex tent of hiß opportunity and knowledge he appointed fit men for office. He was sometimes misled by his advisers and party associates, and he made some mis takes. But he never persisted in his mistakes; and he went out of office car i lying into retirement with him the re -1 spect of all parties. But while Mr. Cleveland attached one meaning to the cry of "Turn the rascals out," there was another meaning in the minds of some of his political support ers. The Democrats who are Democrats for what they can make out of Demo cracy wanted one set of rascals turned out in order to make room for another set of rascals. This is what is misnamed as "practical politics." 'This is Hiliisni. It covers the ground of grievance which Hill, Gorman, Brice and other disciples of the spoils system bring against the Cleveland administration. It is the ex cuse which makes Mr. Hill his own can didate for the Presidency, against the admitted judgment and desire of the mass of the Democratic party. The attempt to impose Mr. Hill upon his party by a forced march, as indi cated by the premature call of the State Convention to send a Hill delegation from New York to Chicago, precipitates upon the Democracy of the country the necessity of a protest. The friends of Mr. Cleveland are entitled to insist that he shall have fair play in New York. The party elsewhere will not be dragoon ed into the support of a candidate whose fealty to Tariff Reform is measured by his proposition to repeal the McKinley . act, restoring as far as it would he pos sible to do so a renewal of the fight for tariff reduction without the excuse of redundate revenue which compelled even the Republican party to a course of pretended retrenchment. Mr. Hill's advocacy of free silver coinage is equally repugnant to the better opinion of his party. In case of his nomination it would lose to the Democracy the support of every Northern State, it is only in spired by a rampant demagogy—the at tempt to profit by the mistakes or delu sions of those who seek to push to the front a question not to be safely or pro perly determined by the vote or voice of any one nation. More than all, the at tempt of Mr. Hill to force himself upon his party should be everywhere and at all times resented. The Democracy should be left free to take their pick ol mem without any impertinent machine interference. Much as we disapprove of Republican methods of administra tion, if reduced to a choice between Harrison and Hill it would be a matter of serious consideration whether it would not be better to take straight Re publicanism rather than spurious Dem ocracy.—Philadelphia Rteora. quay's -Vindication." Our distinguished eontemporay, the j Hon. M. 8. Quay, appears to he hunting mighty small game this winter seeking vindication in the Pennsylvania courts | because of insignificant charges against j him while the New York World invites | him to sue for damages on account of j great and serious accusations. It is very I much like skirting around a tiger to get jat a rabbit. When the Senator gets his | gun to go a hunting he ought to load it | for bear, not for sparrows. The Pitts ! burg and Beaver newspapers, which Mr. j Quay has sued for criminal libel, did not [ say anything particularly had or amaz ing about him. They intimated that ! Quay was acquainted with Bardsley and i once received a check from him in the | course of Borne rather indefinite "busi- I ness." The World charged him with ! nearly every crime in the calender, and then besought him with tears in its eyes to sue for damages. If Quay is out for I a vindication that will be of service, one tbat may amount to a certificate of character,why don't he skip theßearyer Ptar and Pittsburg Post and collar the New York World in earnest. This thing of getting out a howitzer to shoot a chip munk is not real sportmanship.— Warn ington Post. Progressive Methodism. In one respect only is Wilkes-Bar re in advance of us, and that is in liberality of religious opinion. The Monday Methodist ministers' meeting in that city was addressed by ltabhi Josephs on "The Present Aspect of Judaism.'' | Those present was greatly pleased with j the address and gave the young rabbi u I sincere vote of thanks. They -decided to invite still wider exposition of view'b ! on religious subjects, and will in the | near future extend a simiiiar invitation to some Catholic priest. These Monday meetings of the Methodist ministers' are becoming an institution in dilferent localities, and are stimulating broader thought and deeper research into many vital topics. Jt is praiseworthy to notice that prejudices and narrow mind ed ness are disappearing in many direc tions, and the action of the Methodist clergy in this progressive line is to be commended. — Scranton Times.
