President Cleveland has more than once lid n charged—sometimes by mem bers of his own party—with bein& deficient in diplomatic skill. His dec lination to accept the invitation extend ed by Great Britain to form an alliance for the purpose of protecting British and American intercstsin Turkey shows that he had diplomatic skill enough to de feat a well planned scheme of British diplomacy. When that invitation was extended it seemed a natural sort of tiling to do, but the present situation HI Turkey shows what a dangerous hing it really was. There is every probability that Great Britain will be in volved iu a war with one or more countri s as a result of present compli cations in Turkey, and had President Gleveian 1 not seen through the scheme this country would have been involved with her. As it is the United States by acting alone, has secured better protec tion for Americans there than lias been iccordeo to any other foreigners in thai countr\. and when the-lighting begins Uncle sain will be merely an onlooker, only interested in selling all the con but ants everything they can pay for. Secretary Morton lias written the following letter which explains itself: "I hasten to respond to your letter of inquiry inclosing newspaper clipping rel ative to the abuse of the franking privilege. No one who knows the Hon. Tom. L. Johnson will for a moment believe him capable of premeditated misuse of the franking privilege. 110 is a gentleman of the highest personal in tegrity. and his public career precludes the po sibility of his knowingly doing a wrong thing with public documents or franks. How the bookseller secured the frank of Mr. Johnson I am unable to itate, but I am confident that Mr. John , -on himself never anyone ! except his private, secretary or clerk to use the frank." It is not a pleasant thing for a Domo •rat to write nor for Democrats to read. ) it as nothing is ever gained by dodg ing the truth it must be said that the spirit of concession which it was ex pected would exist among prominent members of the party at the beginning >f congress is as yet conspicuous by its ibxjnce. "Ephraim is wedded to his idols," and, unless the rank and lile of the parly shall take the bit between their teeth and get together regardless f leaders, there is little prospect of a united Democracy in the next presiden tial campaign, and nothing but a united Democracy can have oven a lighting chance to win. • Frederick C. Waito, of the agricultur al department, read a paper before the National Statistical Association, which held a mooting here this weok, and it contained some startling figures on the rapid growth of the stay at-home vote in this country. According to those fig ures, the stay-at-home vote iu Pennsyl vania at the presidential election in 1.888 was only 70,000, while this year it was 010,000; in New York it was 75,000 in and 510,000 this year; in Kentucky it was 55,000 in 1888, and 100,000 this year; in Massachusetts it was 80,000 in 1888, and 180.000 this year, and in Ohio it was 40,000 in 1888, and 180,000 this year. Men who profess to be able to name the next Republican presidential ticket can be found on every street corner, but t.'iis week a man turned up in Washington who said he was willing to bet a little money—ho did not sav how much—that the ticket would be Hanmon, of Indiana, and Bradley, of Kentucky. The name of this reckless prophet is Anson 15. Price, and ho says ids home address is Blooniington, Illinois. If Democrats have, any inlluenen with the Republican convention Mr. Price will be right as to Harrison. Not another bond will bo issued bv the administration, until the Republican congress lias had an opportunity to ex tricate the treasury from the embarrass ment into which it- was forced by Re publican legislation. This can be ac cepted as authentic, even if the demand for goid becomes much greater than for the last few days. Republicans would be glad to see. another bond issue—a big one —before congress meets, as it would relieve, them of the responsibility of pro viding for the needs of the treasury and I furnish them with a new peg upon which to hang fresh abuse of the ad ministration. It is not a subject for smiles, but, it would not bo strange if j President Cleveland indulges in a few j grim smiles as lie pens that portion of I bis message to congress calling atten-1 j tion to the condition of the treasury. If such language, were pnrmissablc in so j dignified a document as a president's | message ho might be imagined as writ : ing: ''Your party put the treasury in a j hole; now the country expects you to at least lend a helping hand -towards pull ing it out." It seems as though every Republican member of the house who arrives brings a different opinion as to what the Republicans ought to do at the session of congress about to open. All of which shows that the terms "wild horses which Mr. Harrison used to i describe the Democratic house of the last congress, Is entirely too mild for the menagerie which Mr. Reed is expect ed to control with one hand, while he uses the other to push liis presidential boom. S. ClinrffßH of Fraud Refuted. What was primarily meant for a recep tion by the Elks to Judge P. P. Smith, of Scranton, In that city on Friday night, developed into a political indigna tion meeting. Judge Smith is the one Democratic member of the superior court, recently elected, .fudge E. N. Willard, of the superior court, Judge Alfred Darte, of the Luzerne court, and Judge H. M. Edwards, of tdo Lacka wanna county court, were present, and this fact was considered sufficient to set at naught the recent charges that Judge Smith s election had been procured by fraud. It was following the expression of this . sentiment that Judge Willard said: "If there was the faintest ground for suspicion against Judge Smith I would not be here tonight, nor would Judge Rice, of Luzerne county, have sent his regrets." This remark was enough to change the tenor of what had boon intended as a social event, and a series of speeches by well-known Republicans and Demo crats followed, in which tin- innuendoes cast upon Judge Smith's candidacy were branded as false and groundless. Another Lesson for Hazleton. Three houses on North Vino street, Hazleton, were destroyod by lire at an early hour on Friday morning. They were owned by A. T. McAllister, Robert Youngman and Alexander Hall let. The latter two were double houses, and were occupied by Mr. Ralliet and James Lent/. John Keith and P. F. Ilerron, George Scott, of Ebervalc, had contract ed to move into the McAllister property and it was iu this house that the lire oc curred. The cause of it is unknown. The owner claims there was no lire of any kind in the building. A garden hose might have extinguished the fire when it was first discovered, hut there was no water to be obtained and the flames had full sway until they burned every t hing within roach. The three fire companies and hundreds of spectators hand to stand on the street, utterly un able to offer the slightest resistance. The loss will aggregate $7,500. The houses of Messrs. Youngman and Mc- Allister were fully insured, while Mr. Bailiet loses nearly SI,OOO. An Ancient Crucifix Found. From the Wilkesbarre Record. An interesting relic was unearthed the other day on the tract of land at the lower end of the city now being laid out into lots. It was a crucifix and was found in an Indian grave. With it were perhaps a quart of deads. The crucifix is apparently of brass, nearly two inches long. On one side is Christ on the cross, below it a skuil and cross bones. On the other side is a female figure, prob ably the Virgin. How long ago it was buried there along with its aboriginal owner we can only conjecture. All In dian:* had abandoned the valley when the first white settlors arrived in 1700, 120 years ago, so this crucifix must antedate the first settlement many years. The land on which the crucifix was found was an extensive burying \ ground and many relics have been found this autumn. It is said all the skeletons ' lie with their heads towards the west, 1 and some have been found in a sitting posture. One skeleton was gigantic in size, A izaliiMt the Lottery Law. Newspapers which publish news about rallies, lotteries or drawings violate one • of the most stringent postal laws. The penalty usually imposed by postmasters is the confiscation of all papers in the mail t hat contain articles on tho subject. As the greater part of tho THI HUNK'S subscribers receive their papers through I the mail, our readers will understand why we cannot advertise or announce ! the results of lotteries, drawings or rallies. Many requests have lately been I made to us to notice such matters, but '' until the law is changed we must refuse, i Aristocrat* Wedded ly a JiiMtiee. Alderman Ford, of Wilkesbarre, per formed an interesting marriage cere mony on Friday evening. The contract- ing parties were .facob S. Sloan, grand- ' son of Samuel Sloan, president of the I Delaware, Lackawanna and Western ( Railroad, and Miss Louisa Kraft, niece of John Jormyn, the prominent Scran- | on coal operator and millionaire.
