Gov. NELSON will likely take no
action on Gen. Becker's resignation as
a member of the Railroad and Ware
house Commission. AS he was ap-
pointed by Gov. Merriam. and the fact
that his official term as a member of
the commission will expire on Jan.
1st, the Governor does not feel that it
will be necessary to take any action in
the matter until then. The mere
fact that the General is candidate for
office on another ticket in opposition
to the Governor does not, in the mind
of Mr.. Nelson, operate as any good
reason for his accepting the resigna-
tion rendered. 1t may be just as well,
therefore, for those seeking to succeed
Becker to save their ammunition I'M
til the first of the year. And even
then it is quite probable than Gen.
Becker will be requested to continue
in his official position. Governor Mel
son will be continued as Governor for
another term, and why not General
Becker be asked to continue as mem
Der of the Railroad Commission? Very
likely he will.

The farmers of North Dakota are
just now engaged in the matter of
figuring up the benefits which they
are receiving from tariff reform. They
were making considerable progress in
the sheep industry when the free
trade storm struck the country, and
when the sugar trust bill was passed
they had 37O,SS0 head of sheep, but
they found they were worth ST. per
head less than they were one year ago.
The wool clip of this flock at an aver
age of six pounds per head would
amount to 2,225, 2S0 pounds, which, at
a loss of 10t cents per pound, would
make 1928, 654. 40, or total loss on
sheep and wool of 1904, 534.40 And
for this loss they find no cOmpensat-
ing benefits. In fact they were told
in the campaign two years ago, that
the political change would bring them
81 wheat. Instead of that they are
selling wheat at from 10 to Is cents
per bushel then they were at that
time. Taken as a whole, North
Dakota farmers are not very well
pleased with the change.

WILSON'S ENGLISH SPEECH.

Congressman Wilson's speech at the
free trade banquet in London the
other night, will not help the Demo

Straus, who was present and spoke at
the banquet, had sort of PRESENT.
ment to that effect, for he was led to
say that no doubt the compliment paid
to Mr.. Wilson by this dinner would be
distorted by the protectionist press
into ''mark of the English sense OF
obligation for Mr.. Wilson's efforts in
England's behalf" Now the protec-
tion press will have to do no distCrtlng
in this line whatever, for that was
Just what the dinner was, and Mr..
Wilson, by his remarks seemed to so
regard it. He pretended to believe
that free trade would build up
American trade at the expense of that
of England, and that therefore Eng
land could not look with pleasure up
on the progress of tariff reform here,
which must have caused smile
upon the faces of his English audi
tors, who were complimenting Mr..
Wilson upon the work he has done in
their behalf. If there was any truth
in his remark, then there must have
been great JOY throughout England at
the passage of the Mckinley law,
which Mr.. Wilson claims restricted
our trade with the outside world. But
Mr.. Wilson well knows that it was
lust the reverse. But he knocked over
his professions in this line by deplor-
ing the protective policy which had
kept British goods out of this coun-
try, and stated that it was the pur-
pose of the Democratic party to
break down every barrier which stood
in the way of the manufacturers of
Europe enjoying the American mar
ket. Secretary Morton, OF the Cleve-
land cabinet, who was also present at
the banquet, and made few remarks,
declared to his delighted auditors
that "America has finally said adieu
to the protective system"
This precious brace of free traders
who so unblushingly toadied to the in
terests of England, and promised to do
all they could to break down protec-
tion and give cheap foreign labor the
over our labor, will find as
the November election returns come
in that the people of the United
States have not yet bid adieu to pro-
lection and do not propose to. Our
labor is not yet ready to
be put upon the level OF the rest of
the world, where Senator Mills said it
would be placed if free trade won and
where Mr.. Wilson has pledged the
English manufacturers he will do
in his power to help place
it, so that they may enjoy the control
Of our markets.

A GENEROUS PEOPLE.

Immediately after the great forest
fires last month, which left thousands
of people homeless, ]. j. Hill, of the
Great Northern railway, donated
$4,000 in cash for the relief of the
sufferers, and supplemented it with a
gift of 5000 acres of land for the fire
victims, to- be selected from any of the
lands available for entry by the Great
Northern in Minnesota, outside of the
counties of Cook, Lake and ST. Louis
These lands are said to include some
OF the best farming lands in the state
Each head of a family will be allowed
to select for himself 40 acres, for
which he will be given clear title at
once.
In addition to this great gift of
land by Mr.. Hill, says the Minneapolis
Times, the commission in charge of
the relief fund, of which Chas. A.
Pillsbury is chairman, will erect a
dwelling 'on each selected homestead
to cost not less than $3.50, To this
will be added $50 worth of furniture,
one COW, with sufficient feed for the
animal until spring, and provisions
for the family for six months. There
are no petty and embarrassing re-
strictions connected with these bene-
factions, other than that the benefc-
larry shall have been bona fide victim
of the great fire. To such of the suf-
ferers as have been rendered desti-
tute and desire to leave the devas-
tated district and locate elsewhere,
sums of money are being given equal
to their fair share in the relief fund.
Truly the victims of the fire cannot
say that this is world given up en-
tirely to selfishness, and that the cry
of the sufferer is not heard. The
hearty response which has been made
from every quarter, by which the
committee is enabled to make it pos
sible for the fire victims to take adj
vantage of Mr.. Hill's generous offer,
shows that in all such emergencies
the same generous impulse reigns up
permost in humanity.

The new tariff law is getting in its
work. Brazil has given notice to the
authorities at Washington that the
reciprocity treaty between the United
States and that country will be abro-
gated on Jan. 1st next. There are
nine other such treaties in existence,
and they will all go the same way,
and our foreign market decreased to
that extent. The sugar trust pro-
tected it's personal interests, how
ever, by having the reciprocity treaty
with Hawaii retained.

MCKINLEY HURTS THEM.

No speech which has yet been de-
livered by any protectionist in this
country, has caused so much squirm-
ing in the ranks of free trade Democ-
racy, as that delivered by
Governor Mckinley at Bangor,
Maine, on Sept. Sth. 1t is the most
complete analysis of the new tariff
law we have seen and presents that
bill in it's true light before the Ameri-
can people. From the thorough study
he has given the subject, no man in
this country is better qualified to dis
cuss the status of this law, than is
Gov. Mckinley and the only answer
which the free traders have yet made
is that he is making a campaign on a
calamity basis. They will not fool any
one with such chaff. The exposure
of free trade pretenses can never be
howled down as calamity harrangue.
Gov. Mckinley is not following the
style of the Democrats in 1890 and
1892 and dealing in wind, but is deal
ing in actual facts as he finds them
presented in the sugar trust bill.
After giving history of the enact
ment of the new bill, the Governor in
PRODUCES that portion of his speech
making comparison of what the two
laws THAT of 1880 and of 1894 have
done for the benefit of the wage
earners. Taking the statement of
the Democrats that the present law
is better that of 1890, he says:
Better than the law of 1890! A law
under the operation Of which every
man in this country was employed at
good wages. Every factory was run
ming at it's full capacity and the con-
sumner was receiving the necessarieS
OF life cheaper than he had ever be-
fore! Does any thoughtful man be-
lieve that the law of 1894 will ever re-
store these happy conditions here in
the United States? The law of 1890
was enacted for the American people I
and the American home. Whatever
mistakes were made by it were all in

John Klein Insane

The family of John Klein, of Pittston
avenue and Birch street, was compelled
to swear out a warrant for his arrest,
and Lieutenant Zang removed him late
Saturday night to the Alder street po-
lice station. For some time Mr.. Klein.
who was prominent and well-to-do
citizen of the South Side, has acted
strangely, and lately his actions have
been OF violent nature. DR.. j. A.
Manley, outdoor physician of the
Scranton poor district, was called yes
terday to examine Mr.. Klein, and he
found him suffering from dementia. He
filled out an order qualifying the proper
authorities to convey the patient to the
insane department of the Hillside Home
and conveyance was engaged in the
afternoon, and Mr.. Klein, in the care of
attendants, was taken to that institu-
ton.

she asked the girls what their lives

left upon people they met, where they
simply enjoying the present and as
they blossomed into womanhood care
for themselves alone and forget that
at the present time they were forming
lifelong character. She warned
them that delays were dangerous, and
in refusing now to yield their souls to
God they would find that day by day
the task would become more difficult to
become loyal and faithful Christian
The farewell meeting was then held, at
which Mrs. H. NJ. Boies presided, and
the following resolutions We're passed;
THAT we express our thanks to the
Young Mems Christian association and
the different churches of the city who
so kindly provided us with places of
meeting, and we are deeply grateful to
the people of Scranton for their un-
stinted hospitality, also to the represen-
tatives of the press who have so faith
fully reported our proceedings.
THAT We express gratitude to the
speakers that have come to us from a
distance, as well as home workers that
have so ably assisted in making our
convention so successful.
THAT we express our appreciation of
our International and state committees
with the secretaries, and resolve to be
more earnest in our prayers for the
success Of all their future work
THAT we will strive to carry out in
our associations the practical sugges-
tions received and to keep in our hearts
the spiritual help gained so that we
may show more in our lives the in
dwelling Christ. That we will pray and
labor for the extension of our work
feeling that 1t Is our duty to give to
others the same opportunities and ben
efits that we enjoy in the helpful as
sociatlons and mutual service of the
Young Woman's Christian association" "

DR.. c. E. Robinson pronounced the
benediction, which concluded an event
full and epoch-making convention in the
history of the association.

NEWS OF THE SOUTH SIDE.

Special Services at Hickory Street Pres
byterian Church in Honor of Sons of
America John Klein, of Pittston Ave.
nue., Removed to the Hillside Home.
Services of more than ordinary char
acter marked the worship at the Hick-
ory Street Presbyterian church last
night. Washington camp, No. 430,
Patriotic Order Sons of America,
marched to the house of God in body
arrayed in uniform, and took seats in
the front center as a guard of honor
around the pulpit. OVerarching the
pulpit We're draped In the form of a
shield two large American flags, and
artistically along the balcony rail on
both sides the Stars and Stripes pro-
fusely beamed down.
The evening services were specially
prepared by the pastor, Rev. August
Lange, In honor of the patriotic order;
a special programme of music was ar
ranged and the sermon was In keeping
with the purpose.
Director John Lentes played an organ
prelude and Rev. Mr.. Lange delivered
a fervent invocation. The congrega-
ton sang Jesus Lover Of Ny Soul" and
Pastor Lange read from the Scriptures,
Psalm 1903. A chorus by the choir and
followed by prayer preceded the sing
ing by the congregation of the stirring
hymn, stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus"
Following this came the sermon from
the following text from Psalm cXXxvii
3, 6: ''If forget thee, Jerusalem, let
my right hand forget her cunning. If
/ do not remember thee, let my tongue
cleave to the roof of my mouth; If
prefer not Jerusalem above my chief
joy"
The sermon was in English and was
very powerfully delivered. The pastor
drew beautiful allegory between the
patriotic devotion of the psalmst to
his adopted country and the avowed
devotion of the Sons of America to
their adopted country. 1t encouraged
the members of the society to still
further effort and urged them to guard
jealously the priceless boon of freedom.
The sermon introduced a wide range of
patriotic feelings and left deep i'm
preston on the congregation and the
Sons of America.
After the sermon the Lords prayer
was said and the choir sang another
chorus. A hymn was sung and then an
Offering taken up. The hymn America"
was sung, benediction was given by the
pastor and the chanting of the Dox-
ology concluded the services.
The ushers were John Fruechtel.
Theodore Schmidt, Fred Weinz and
William Kirst.
