AS the workingmans friend John r.
Jones, candidate for district attorney,
enjoys a greater degree of popularity
than almost any man upon the list of
staunch and true Republicans who rep
resent the party of industry and pro-
gress upon the state and county ticket
this fall. Although fortunate in pos
sessing advantages of an early educa-
tionin advance, perhaps, of many, John
II. Jones has ever been a man of the peo-
pie, and has given substantial evil
dences upon many occasions that his
sympathies are with the people who
toll increasingly for their daily bread
in the mines, in the shop or upon the
broad acres of Lackawanna's farming
districts.
For his efforts In abolishing the toll
gates that extorted cash from travel
ers between Scranton and Carbondale,
alone. John r. Jones is entitled to the
gratitude of the people at large. AS
vice-president of the Poor Association
Of Pennsylvania at the meeting held in
Reading, Mr. Jones advanced ideas
that clearly demonstrated his kindly
feeling for the unfortunate inmates OF
almshouses, who in most instances
were In trouble through no fault OF
their own. Possessed of these charac-
teristics and a thorough knowledge OF
legal points, John r. Jones stands be-
fore the people today amply qualified

Electric Eye Possibilities.

1t Is commonplace remark to say
that we are ION the eve of important
scientific discoveries" But even with
all the varied story of forward investi-
cation that this phrase in its common
sense usage implies, it may be doubted
Tif the words bring to the average mind
an idea Of the possibilities that lie in
the instrument invented by Professor
Jesse G. Coles, of Kingston, of which
Wednesdays Tribune printed de-
tailed description-always, Of course,
assuming that the representations made
in its behalf, and partially If not fully,
demonstrated, be true.
For instance, in the single direction
of bacteriology the usefulness of me-
chanism capable of magnifying an OBJ
ject 100000 diameters or more is almost
illimitable. Under such an exaggera-
ton, what microbe is there that could
escape the scrutiny of the pursuing
physicians; or what disease that could
withhold the important secret Of its
causation? The Berlin experiment
which has lately revealed the mystery
of ciphtheria and at the same time
provided cure in the impregnated
serum of a contaminated horse is a
faint hint of the probable good which
would follow the realization of Profess
sor Coles ambitions with reference to
the Electric Eye" The investigators
in Berlin were handicapped by the lin
tied magnifying power even of their
best microscopes, not one of which has
yet reached sustained standard of 50,-
900 diameters. With the Eye of the
Kingston inventor already registering
a visual enlargement which would
make the finest drop of water appear
the size of an ordinary balloon, and
promising, with new apparatus, to
quadruple this record, what may we
not expect from it in relief of man.
kinds systemic ills.
But the possibilities of this wonderful
instrument are scarcely touched upon
in the mention Of it's value to bacteriol-
ogy, Notwithstanding the chance that
it may, in time, revolutionize the
theory and practice of medicine. In
the domain of theology 1t ought with
equal readiness to yield similarly far
reaching results. Turned, for example,
upon other worlds than ours, may it
not bring us into direct communication
with that vast eXpanse of the heavens
which our imagination pictures as the
abode of insoluble mysteries, and un-
veil to us living and sentient new proofs
of Divinity and It's mighty sweep? Or,
turning it's pupil back to those dim
aeons of the past when bird and beast
battled with catyclysmal nature for the
mastery of chaotic earth, may 1t not
read to u.s. in literal language, the story
of the rocks and bring together the
divergent lines of Mosaic teaching and
science, so-called?
These are merely one or two of the
thousands of reflections that instantly
and impressively occur to one after
contemplation of Professor Coles work.
That work may never go further than
it has gone and 1t may even retrograde;
but it is clearly fertile field of sugges-
ton and guidance to the scientist of the
future.

TO THE STATE DEMOCRACY.


From the Philadelphia Record, Sept. 21.
The action of the Democrats who con-
trolled the convention In the Third con-
gress district yesterday, 1t may as well be
confessed now as sixty days hence, will
thoroughly demoralize, dishearten and de-
feat Democratic effort to poll full vote
In this city in November. That district
was the key to the situation in Philadel-
phia and Democrats throughout the state
are entitled to a candid admission of the
failure OF the organization here to bring
about harmonious action, and the neces-
sary consequences of failure.
From this time forth the canvass should
be waged throughout the state with a
view to the election Of as many congress
men, senators, representatives and county
officials as possible, without special eff
fort for the state ticket. Effort should
be concentrated at those points where II
may prove effectual. The state ticket
has been doomed by the practical aban-
donment of organized action in Philadel-
phia, where 100000 Democrats have al
lowed themselves to be handcuffed and de.
llyered into the control of a few contempt
ible ringsters, roosters and rufflans.

BOGUS PROSPERITY.

On his way to New York ex-President
Harrison's train was held up" at Rich
mond, Ind, and the people insisted
upon having him make them a speech
His comment upon the Democratic eff
fort to manufacture a bogus prosperity
for campaign purposes was peculiarly
apt. Said he:
The situation is improving In some
places, but 1t Is outside of the United
States. i have been reading an afternoon
paper as l came over. In II | noticed a
dispatch from Mexico to the effect that
trade has greatly awakened there In
Canada business Is also improving. These
people can bring goods In cheaper than
ever before, because there Is more of q
market, and 1t is perfectly natural for
trade to be good in Canada and Mexico
What Is there In the tairff bill to make
trade better than before? If more for
eign goods are brought into the United
States, does 1t not necessarily follow that
there will be less market for our goods?
| II there are more goods being brought in
| than before II must follow that there will
be less market for our farmers, less en-
| ployment for our labor and less prosper
| ity for our manufacturers. Until we
catch up with that marsh light, which Mr..
| Wilson and others call the markets of
| the world, we will not improve
| Last year the poor man patched his old
shoes, this year he bought new; he was
| compelled to do so. Last year the poor
mans trousers were patched by his wife,
but this year they were beyond her inge-
nuity, This necessity to buy has caused
the temporary Improvement The great
ships of trade and manufacture are not
putting out on the seas of markets. They
are simply skirting along the coast. There
is nothing in the new bill to bring them
out. The tendencies are all the other way.
| Since the adjournment of congress the
| great war on American industries has
ceased, but they have issued the unlucky
proclamation that they will begin again
in December. The Democrats are not
| satisfied with their own bill. Cleveland
says 1t is wretchedly bad, and Wilson Is
dissatisfied with 1t. December will bring
the same unrest, and the little good that
has resulted from temporary improve
ment will be checked, and when they
meet again they intend to patch 1t up.
1t is for the voters to say whether
this war on American industry shall be
renewed.

MIR. BIaine's Prophecy.

"The business men of the country, fear.
ing destruction, will decline to engage in
business, consequently mills will be shut
down and the workingmen will be thrown
out of employment The people will then
see, as we have never seen before, that
they cannot be prosperous and have work
while this principle of protection Is
threatened. In the midst of this suffer.
ing they will learn that the only way that
they can be prosperous and happy is tC
vote for the party that will build up the
industries by which they have gained q
livelihood, because they will then see
clearly that when mandatory is shut
down there Is no demand for the thing
which they have to sell, and that Is
their labor"

An Impressive warning.

Danish from the social and political
life of the country all strife of race and
creed. Allow but the one testament
canism-loyalty to the public veal on the
battlefield and at the polls. For myself,
predict dismal failure to those who raise
the cry of race or religion In this land;
/ predict the death of the political party
which makes use of sectarian hatred
either to prop up its own cause or to lower
the cause Of its opponents. Religious pre-
judice is a boomerang, which returns
upon him who launches it. The cry of re-
ligious prejudice unfortunately has been
raised, and in 1t there is often, i believe,
more politics than religion; it should be
put down, American loyalty and fitness

alone, the conditions which determine an

1t is not this papers intention to de-

Vote to Put Out the Fire.

Upon the congressional issue Just one
problem confronts the voters of Lack
awanna county today. They may re-
gard Mr.. Scranton, individually, as one
or the noblest men in public life or they
may entertain less exalted opinion;
but all are compelled to admit that as
the candidate of the Republican party
in this campaign he is the representa-
tive of economic principles under which
this nation has enjoyed the largest pros
perity that ever came to confederation
of people; and this commonwealth the
greatest industrial expansion that is to
be found In the annals of state progress.
They must admit that as therepresenta-
tive of honest and straightforward pro-
lection to American industries he is de-
serving of their votes and that, unless
they wish to take chances on more of
the misgovernment which they have so
recently and so painfully experienced,
they will cast their ballots for Mr..
Scranton entirely regardless Of per-
sonal considerations either compliment
airy or the reverse.
This is the plain, clear logic of the
situation. Personalities are too trivial
to be considered at this time. First
and foremost, we must put out the
fire, extinguish the danger, remove
from the palsied energies of American
business the menace which overhangs
them in Democracy's threatened re-
newal of its destructive and uncalled-
for warfare upon the industries of our
land. Then, If there be a sufficient
breathing spell those who wish may re-
sumo the interrupted course Of personal
debate and call each other what choice
names they please. 1t is no time fol-
this sort of thing now. The interests
at stake are too momentous; the re-
suits to be won or lost are too far-reach-
ing.
A vote for Joseph A. Scranton will be
a vote to put out the fire. 1t will be a
vote to save the threatened mill, pre-.
serve the jeoparded factory and restore
the diminished wage back to the Pro.
tective standard of three meals a day
with enough to spare for rainy day.

SO they resolved to hold wake
For their departed brothers sake.
