DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

Debates on the Wilson bill are
bringing to tho front some great
orators, but many of the Democratic
members bold back their opinions
because tliey cannot enter the discus
sion with the earnestness they would
if the bill struck deeper at the curse
of protection. If it were an act to
abolish all tariffs the house of rep
resentatives would be the scene of
eloquent arguments for its passage.
As it is, it is but a short step in the
right direction and radical reformers
are not giving it tho support they
would a bill framed to suit the masses.
James Denton Hancock, the Demo
cratic candidate for congressman at
large, is a son of old Luzerne, having
been born at Wilkes-Barre, and the
Democrats of this county should make
an effort to give him a good vote, not
only because he first seen light here,
but because we need a man in con
gresfl to represent this district. The
voters of Luzerne have no use for
men who will skulk and refuse to
vote when they can't own the presi
dent, and that is the sort of a figure
head who is representing the twelfth
district in Washington today. Down
with ollice hucksters.
Congressman Hines is slated for a
renomiuation, according to the Scran
ton Tribune, which bases its predic
tion, upon the fact that the Demo
eratic bosses of this county have
buried the hatchet and will work
unitedly for "Billy." If this is the
case the people will again be
compelled to give these bosses an
other shot from tho shoulder like
they got last November. Bosses can
dictate nominations in this county,
but bosses can't do all the votiug,
and if they are not satisfied wi ll the
Waterloo the ticket received in 1893
let them nominate Hines again. Just
give tho voters another chance and
they will bury "Billy" and (he bosses
ticket und< r 2,500 majority.
The daily papers last week eon
tained a dispatch stating that Hyatts
villo, Md., "tho only town in the
world that ever tried single tax,"
voted on Thursday to abolish that
system. Inasmuch as Hyattsville
never had anything nearer to tho sin
gle tax than a very faint semblance
of the same it could not abolish what
it did not have. Hyattsville did in
tend to try the single tax, but the
constitution of Maryland gives ex
plicit directions that taxes shall be
levied othewise, consequently it was
not put inio operation, the supreme
court upholding the constitution.
Hyattsville voted on Thursday to
change its charter to conform with
the decision of the supreme court,
and the metropolitan papers betray
their stupidity when they advertise
their ignorance by boasting about the
overthrow of George's theories.
The rapid strides and onward
march of belief in free trade in this
country could have no better proof
than the men of ability and promin
ence who are advocating it today in
congress. When people like Burke
Cockran and lieWitt Warner, of New
York, Judge Maguire, of Califor
nia, William Bryan, of Nebraska,
Henry Turner, of Georgia, Michael
Harter and Tom L. Johnson, of Ohio,
and dozens of men equally prominent
and inlluential declare openly in con
gress for absolute free trado with all i
the world the cnuse is to advance.
But better still is the fact that nearly
all the leaders agree upon a method
of raising revenue to take (he place
tariff taxes—a method that has with
stood, in theory, attacks from every
quarter, and one that will also stand
the test of operation. Free trade
alone is not a very soli,l platform, but
with single tux to follow it any party
can sweep the country in 18015, and
the advanco thinkers among the
Democrats are shaping their courses
so as to be in tho front rank of that i
great army whose motto is "Fqual
rights for ull, special privileges for
none."

According to the Blossburg Adver
tiser, an independent paper of Tioga
county, Galusha A. Grow, the Repub
lican candidate for eongressman-at
large, is not the great friend of work
ingmen that he is pictured by the
Republican organs. Grow is expect
ed to go to congress to protest against
the passage of the Wilson bill in the
interests of the .workingmen of Penn
sylvania that they may not be brought
down to pauper wages. Here is a
sample of Grows love for high wages
to Pennsylvania workingmen:
In 1880 the price for mining coal at
Grow's mines at Hardcrabble. Clarion
county, was fifty-five cents a ton. The
miners in Grow's employ, together with
the other miners in the vicinity, asked
for an advance from fifty-five and sixty
cents per ton to seventy cents, the same
as paid in the Keynoldsville region. Alt
the operators met their men. with the
exception of Grow, and agreed to grant
the advance, and did so. Grow refused
to treat with his men or grant the
advance, and after a hard struggle com
pelled them to go to work at fifty-live
cents a ton, the price he had always
paid. The effect of this act on the part
of Grow was to cause the other opera
i tors to reduce the wages paid to their
men from seventy cents to sixty-five
cents a ton, that being ten cents more a
ton than Grow was paying his miners for
digging the same quality of coal. Grow
is a fit subject to go to congress to repre
sent Pennsylvania workingmen and pre
vent a reduction in wages. His motto
undoubtedly is "Protection for Grow
only."

(COPYRIGHT, 1804.1
Another royal heart is being hawked
in the courts of Europe. This tir.e the
owner of the heart is the czarowitz, j
eldest son of the czar, the coming au
tocrat of all the Russians, the power
ful ruler that is to be of hundreds of
millions of people. This young man is j
looking for a wife, a woman who will |
some day sit on the Russian throne,
the most powerful of Iter sex in the
world. Concerning this fortunate
woman that dreadful little rogue,
rumor, has much to say. But this
much lacks confirmation. Yesterday
, it was the daughter of the prince
of Wales, to-morrow it is a Dan
ish princess, and next week we
shall have another story and an
other name. Indeed, the heir of
the throne of Russia is the most en
gaged, but by no means the most
engaging, young man in Europe.
There is no eligible young woman con
nected with any of the ruling European
houses whose name has not been con
nected with his in a matrimonial way.
It may be that the young grand drfke
knows little of this, for his tutors and
his father's press censors do not allow
him to see any of the gossip that there
is flying about him and other royal
personages.
Who is this Grand Duke Nicholas,
fated some day to be the most power
ful man in the world?
lie may become czar of Russia, at
any time, should the anarchists or nihil
ists succeed in their designs of killing
the present head of the Romanoffs.
Little is known about him. He has
not figured to any extent in the news
paper press of Europe. He may or ho
may not have had escapades as other
royal sprigs have had, but one never
iiears anj'thing about them. He is
kept in seclusion. He is not allowed
the freedom that ordinary princes of
Europe are allowed. Powerful as his
father is, his heir is in some respects a
prisoner. lie is being brought up in a
queer way. The greatest enjoyment
he seems to get out of life is in riding
a bicycle, and in running over to Lon
don when he gets a chance, where he
has a good romp without interference.
His brothers, the grand dukes Michael
and George, are far from being kept in
seclusion. George, indeed, has seen
service in the Russian navy. As the
immediate heir to the throne and in
view of the uncertainty as to the life
tenure of the czar, it lias been the
policy of Alexander 111. to keep the
czarowitz from any dangerous, or even
post of duty. 'This accounts, I
in the main, for the fact that so little ;
. is known of the young man who is now,
bv the way, a few mouths over twenty
five years of age.
Truth be told there Is very little
about the young man to attract atten
tion, aside from his position as the
eldest son of the czar. The grand
duke, in fact, is a very colorless youth,
indeed. He lacks strength mentally
and physically. He lias shown no tal
ent for anything of consequence.
There is nothing of the Tartar about
hiin. He is not at all a Romanoff in
appearance. These men have nearly all
of them been of the most impressive
appearance. The mad Emperor Paul
was a fine looking man. Alexumlcr 11.
was one of the handsomest men, in
point of physique and face, in Europe.
The present czar is a veritable Ajax,
and is held to be the strongest man in
Europe. Grand Duke Nicholas is a
CZAROWITZ OF RUSSIA.
weakling. He lias neither the Roman
off face nor physique, but instead re
! scmbles his Danish mother. Frequent
ly there are rumors that the czar has
determined to use his autocratic powers
and name his robust second son as his
successor. There is probably nothing
in these reports. The one soft spot
in the character of the present czar is
I his love for his wife. Her influence
over him is remarkable; and she, wom
an-like, loves her firstborn child, who
has her faco and amiable disposition;
therefore she is not likely to allow him
to be set aside if she can help it—us she
probably can.
The grand duke has latterly been
kept even more in seclusion than he
was formerly. The czar is supersti- j
tious and his wife is timid. The mur
derous attack made on their son, when
ho was on a visit to Japan with Prince
George of Greece, which might have
resulted fatally had it not been for the
readiness of the Greek prince, threw
the czar into a panic. The young man
has not been allowed to do much
going abroad in a democratic way since
then.
It appears true, however, that
though the czar may love his son well
enough in a paternal way he has no
especial admiration for him as a pros
pective ruler of Russia. The massive
imperial crown of Russia and the flow
ing robes of stfttc have looked impret*
sive enough on such giants as the re
cent czars of Russia, hut the effect will
he different when they are put on by
the somewhat puny grand duke.
Rut perhaps the widest breach be
tween the czarowitz and his father is
on the Jewish question. The young
man does not believe in persecuting
the Jews nor in driving thein from Rus
sia. There are other points of differ
ence between the opinions of the czar
and those of Jus son, but these are the
main ones; and to a man of the czar's
fierce temper, which will not brook op
position, they are sufficient to cause
him to look upon his son as a willful,
fractious boy, not fit to rule any people.
That Grand Duke Nicholas would be
able to put his advanced ideas into
force should he come into power to
morrow, there is small reason to be
lieve. lie has absorbed some liberal
ideas from his tutors, but he is not in
any way a forceful or a strong young
man. He is not resourceful, has no
special talent for affairs and would be
a weak figure in the hands of the
strong body of strategists who now
surround Alexander 111. and largely
shape his reactionary policy.
Take it all in all, the young heir to
the Russian throne occupies a peculiar
position. The heir of the father, he is
yet distrusted by him. The czar is
not at the best of times a very amiable
man, save towards his wife. Latterly
lie has been a victim of insomnia, and
TIIE WINTER PALACE AT ST. PETERS
BURG.
then there come reports that the
hereditary taint of insanity which lias
shown itself from time to tiine in the
Romanoffs has marked him in an open
manner. Under these circumstances
his conduct towards his son in whom
he placcH little faith may be highly
important in its results.
Those who have come into contact
with the czarowitz—and they are not
numerous—all concur in the opinion
that, while not overbright. he is fairly
intelligent and very amiable.
This latter quality has made him
popular with all parties in the Russian
court even including those who look
upon him as a very weak figure indeed
to support the weight of the Russian
crown —as he may some day. lie has
a certain ftrace and tact that comes to
him from his clever Danish mother and
not from his cross-grained father. lie
is more of a scholar than most of the
Russian men of rank are, but is both
modest and simple of manner. Tutors
whom lie has had from time to time
have reported of him that the amiabil
ity lie shows in public is not assumed.
In the schoolroom lie was the same,
lie always met his tutors half way in
their efforts to improve him. He was
never churlish, nor did he display any
of the "spoiled child" qualities that i
might have been looked for in a
young man in his position. Not es
pecially quick to learn, ha was will
ing and patient, (t was from one
of these tutors that the grand duke
imbibed the ideas which made him
German rather than French is his
tastes and sympathies, contrary to
what would have been the wishes of
his father had the latter known any
thing of the matter. Still the young
man is fairly well versed in French lit
erature as well as German, and, unlike
his father, he is an admirer of Tolstoi
and of the younger writers of the mod
ern Russian period who are pushing to
the front. He is said to care little for
heavy reading of a political or histori
cal character. He has a taste for poe
try and fiction; and in this again he is
like his mother, for Alexander 111. has
no liking for that sort of reading, or,
indeed, for any other.
As might be expected from a mild
mannered young man, the czarowitz
is not partial to war, as some of his
forefathers have been. There is noth
ing of the Don Cossack in him. He lias
no ambition to crush the Turks o* to
wage war with Austria, or with Eng
land on the eastern frontier. He is a
peaceable young man, who would
rather improve the somewhat expan
sive bit of ground now known as Rus
sia, and no one denies that there is
room for improvement. He is unlike
his two brothers in this respect. Of
these George, the naval officer,,is not
the kind to turn his back on a fight.
Grand Duke Michael is the czar's fa
vorite, and, though younger than his
brother, is said to be the one whom
Alexander at- times contemplates
naming as his successor. Youthful
though he is, lie is extremely precau
tious, and has a talent for political in
trigue and government.
Either of these two young men
might cut a more dashing figure than
Grand Duke Nicholas. Yet these
backward weaklings are often deceiv
ing. More than one of them have out
stripped stronger and better equipped
men on their own ground, What has
occurred may occur again, and. be
sides, Duke Nicholas is young. When
his time comes to fly alone bis pinions
may prove stronger than they seem.
There is one thing to be said of the
young man that cannot be said of other
knights of his age. His life has been
clean. His name is unsrairchcd by
scandal. He lias lived quietly with
his books and studies. His habits
have been and are of the simplest. He
is tenderly attached to his mother,
and, if his affection for his rough bear
of a father is less strong, he has at
least given him respect and obedience
while disagreeing with him on many
points. He really wishes to improve
the condition of the people of Russia,
and on no narrow lines. Ho is no
apostle of war or bloodshed, and no
persecutor of race or religion.
