Thomas D. Davies.

There seems to be no insincerity in
the hearty Endorsement that the can
didacy of Thomas d. Davies is receiv
ing from the citizens Of Scranton re-
gardless of party affiliations. Mr..
Davies has a clean record of which any
citizen might feel proud, and stands
before the people Of Lackawanna
county today as candidate for the Of
flee of county treasurer in every way
fitted for the responsibilities of the
position.
Thomas d. Davies is an ideal speci-
men of the staunch and true Welsh
American. Born in South Wales, he
came to this country when quite
young and began life in earnest, work.

ginning at the bottom round of the

laborer to the position of assistant su-

The Strauss Jubilee,

In many respects the Vienna waltz
king, Johann Strauss, is q fortunate
man. Unlike the average musical
genius, he has lived to see his efforts
appreciated by the world in general
and enjoys greater degree of popu-
larity than ever, in turning the tiftieth
milestone in successful musical
career. The Strauss jubilee at Vienna
yesterday in honor of the famous COM
poser's half century of musical work
in that city, was fitting tribute to
the efforts of the man whose compo-
sitions are familiar to lovers of music
of a lighter vein the world over.
Johann Strauss has never posed as a
musical educator The stern pupils OF
the Wagnerian school have designated
his productions as trash, unworthy OF
the name of music; but as an enter
tanner the famous composer stands
without rival. The rhythmical
measures of the dreamy Strauss waltzes
captured the hearts of the masses long
before the composer attempted light
opera. And as Il writer of operate
music he has been eminently success
tul. 1t is proper that all Vienns
should unite in honoring her famous
son and that America, where his music
has been so popular, should also for
ward tokens of esteem. The world ha,
been merrier and better for the music
of Strauss. May peace and prosperity
crown his waning years!

toward the front rank and is today one
of the most trusted agents of the great
railroad company.
While enjoying the confidence and
esteem of that corporation, Mr.. Davies
is also loved and respected by the hun

and is one of the most popular citizens
OF the neighborhood in which he re

No More Quackery.

Tie whole argument of the Demo
cratic party today is comprised in
vigorous exaggeration of the fact that
business is improving. The Democratic
press makes this its exclusive political
stock in trade; the Democratic spell
binders proclaim it incessantly from
the platform and individual Democrats
talk it on the street. In the one short
proposition, Business is improving"
we have the sum and substance of the
present administration claim to in
dorsement; the last fond hope of fed
eral place holders fearful of ejectment
from public office Let US, then, in
quire into the matter.
To improve signifies prior condi-
tion which rendered improvement
desirable. 1t may be pleasant to get
well; but how about the sickness Just
previous? In the case of the man who,
recovered from one mistake, should q
second time ask q doctor for poison so
that he might once again experience
the luxury of convalescence, most SEN
sible persons would say that the physi.
clan had fool for patient. Yet here
we have the Democratic party growing
self-important over the fact that after
it had, by its poisonous economic
fumes and threatenings, plunged the
country into violent spell of business
sickness, during which values sunk
and labor suffered as neither had prev
iously done in the history of this gen.
GRAFTON, the patient, after swallowing
a partial antidote which DR.. Cleveland
and DR.. Wilson have both pronounced
spurious, begins once more to show
signs of life, and must, therefore, ac.
cording to the quack Democratic no.
ton, be afflicted with a second dose.
The grotesqueness of such a proceeding
is such that one who looks on in the
capacity of q spectator is unable to
determine which is the greater ass
the people for ever trusting the quack
Democracy or the quack Democracy
for trying to repeat its buncoing of the
people.
Business improving? OF course it is
After two years of prostration so vio
lent that every energy succumbed, how
could it keep from improving? A
change the other way wonld havC
meant death; and the American peo
pie, Democracy or no Democracy, arr
not saying die. But 1t is a significan
fact that whatever improvement bust
ness exhibits today is co-incident will

What Protection Means.

"When years ago we defended pro-
lection on the ground of infant indus
tries, we stated good grounds for the
establishment of manufactures, but to-
day protection is founded, like the
prosperity of the country, upon wages
fl did not believe that protection,
which is not taxation of the many for
the one, but merely method of secur-
ing to everybody in America the mar
kets of the country, is the bes method
of distributing among the people of
the God-given gifts to enterprise
which our country is so full, | should
not be for it. If did not believe that
protection was only method of max
ing this country, in the admirable
language of Senator Jones, do all of
its own work. 1 should not demand
its retention.
at is perfectly true that prosperity
of any kind leads to large fortunes for
those who have the genius to organize
great enterprises, but this is the case
everywhere. Sir Joseph Whitworth,
the great steel manufacturer in Eng
land, did not die pauper, and Lord
Armstrong and the Rothschilds hardly
seem in the way Of impoverishment.
My consolation when L see great
riches-for l own up to the same envy
that af1licts my brethren of those who
are better off than myself-is that all
these riches are ofno profit to the owner
unless they build railroads, or mills, or
dig illumination for the poorest of us
out of the bowels of the earth. The
more prosperity there is the more there
is to distribute and there is the chance
that the worker, whether with brain
or muscle, has to wrest from his en-
ployer his share. | am not the author
of this idea. 1t came from Pennsyl-
vania workingman, who declared be-
fore the committee of ways and means
that if the congress would only pass
laws which would enable enterprise to
make profits the workingmen would
see that they got their share. And
this very day in the strike which is, or
was, going on in Massachusetts, the
very basis Of the argument on both
sides is the price of goods and the con-
sequent profits.
"The orators on the other side have
always declared that strikes would
cease when they had power, but they
have not passed away yet. On the con-
trary, more loom in the future than
we have ever had in the past. Strikes
are always unfortunate things but moi
always bad things. Their success con-
sists not in their victories, but in their
existence. Men who see their way
clear to profits will not refuse recon-
pense to those they employ when the
great disorganization of a strike is pos
sible under sense of injustice on the
part of organized labor. The only way
thus far discovered to distribute con
sumable and enjoyable wealth is first
to give the chance to create it and ther
let each side struggle for its share. ]
do not say that this is all there will be
| hope not. No one will more gladly
welcome than / any method for q fai
and peaceful distribution. But there
is one thing certain, until you hav,
profits they cannot be divided. ~
