A Gathering of Heroes

The annual Reunion of the Union EX-
Prisoners of War association. which oc-
CURED in this city Thursday, was an
event that should have attracted more
attention from the residents of this
hustling city than the modest gathering
of battle-scarred veterans provoked
The handful of men who assembled at
the Ezra Griffin Post hall to renew old
friendships and talk over the scenes
and incidents of the great conflict,
represent ideal American patriots. They
have realized by experience and suffer-
ing what it has cost to preserve the
Union and make this land of liberty a
shining proof that the experiment of n
government by the people has not been
failure The principles for which the
warriors Of '76 fought and bled will
never die while men of the calibre of
the Union EX-Prisoners association are
in existence.
With each returning year the ranks
of the army of veterans are closed up
as the gray-haired patriots fall one by
one by the wayside, and few years
hence the Union Ex-Prisoners' associa-
ton will be unknown save to history
This generation of peace and plenty
seems to little realize the debt that II
owes the war veterans. Could oul
young citizens be made to understand
the patriotism; the unflinching courage
and the endurance that have been neces.
sary to enable these grizzled heroes tc
face and survive the horrors of the bat.
tletield and the prison pen, the eX-pri
soners would be welcomed with blaze
of enthusiasm upon their annual re-
unions unequalled by ovations thai
have been rendered the worlds great
est conquerors.

REPUBLICANS WILL WIN
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
Only II bespotted optimist, or. perhaps
a national committeeman speaking in
the way of business, can at this time
discern in the campaign horoscope any
thing but a Republican victory at the
elections of next month. This individ-
ual or that may have his preferences and
may be. to a certain extent, beguiled into
confusing his judgment with them, but
only the optimist can mistake or the COM
mitteeman misreprescnt situation such
as that which we are considering now. 1t
Is Il situation which admits of no Illusion.
Unless within the next two weeks public
sentiment throughout the country should
undergo Il complete and radical transfor-
nation the Democrats are beaten.
As the causes which have led up to
this result, it were idle now to speculate.
So far as the Post Is concerned definite
theory has been advanced and we see no
reason for modifying or amending 1t in
any particular. 1t Is clear to us now,
as ii has been from the beginning, that
the people, without reference TO party al
liances or predictions, are distrustful of
leaders who would renew the tariff agita-
ton and set up u fresh regime of unrest
and suspense. The country has suffered
three years of apprehension and 1t longs
for peace. With II house that VIII mu2Zle
and disarm Mr.. Wilson and Il senate that
will make Mckinleyism impossible, the
nation viii be able TO eaten ltS breath
again.
We are by no means sure, however, that
the situation Is not Il thoroughly happy
and acceptable one so far as concerns the
real interests of the Democratic party.
That great organization has gained moth
ing in strength In cohesion, or In morale
as the result of eighteen months of po-
litical domination. IL came Into power
on March 1, 1898, compact, confident, and
enthusiastic. Today 1t is discordant. he
terogeneous and demoralzed. 1t is di-
vided between the pestiential schisms OF
Populism and the time-honored dogmaS
of Jefferson. IL Is rent asunder on silver
coinage on tariff reform-on every ques
| ton of national Import and Significance
| Ii Is without purpose, precision, or har
mony. As II stands today IL Is incapable
| of beneiicence and no longer to be trust
| ed with the destinies of the nation. Bet
| ter, far better, that 1t be condemned t
| a period of retirement and provided witt
an opportunity Of reelection than giveI
fresh facilities for mischief and agitation
| The president Will thus be spared the ne
| cesslty of vetolng vicious and incendiary
| legislation, and the party, under the sal
utary discipline of popuar rebuke, vii

Utterly Imbecile.

The Rochester Post-Express is an in
dependent newspaper-and a good one
which has more frequently supported
Democrats than Republicans. But this
year it has had enough of the free
trade piratical crew." and is steering
very clear of renewal Of the mistake
of 1892. Listen to how it audits Democ-
racy's account:
THE Democratic party went into
complete power for the first time In a
generation in the spring of 1893 and
great panic came upon the scene with
it. There was no policy ready to meet
the crisis, and Il long delay and uncer-
tainty aggravated 1t. The finances
system for reforming and establishing
them on a firm basis was even at
tempted. The treasury was depleted
and the eXpedient of filling it by bor-
rowing $5OOOO,OOO on bonds issued un-
der an obsolete law was adopted.
whereas there was ample time for pro-
viding for the deficiency otherwise.
THE treaty for annexing Hawaii was
withdrawn and a conspiracy was
| formed to overthrow the republican
government and restore the deposed
| queen. subsequently Hawaii, though
not dear enough to annex, was declared
dear enough to enjoy reciprocity de-
MED to other countries and Hawaiian
sugar is admitted free of duty while
sugar produced elsewhere is taxed; and
so an advantage is given to the sugar
planters Of the islands, estimated by
Commissioner Blount. as worth $5,000.-
900 year. A tariff act has been passed
after long delay, that violates
every pledge made by the Demo-
cratic party in 1892 and its pas
sage was accompanied by Il shameful
scandal in which it was made plain
that the sugar trust dominated both the
executive and the senate This act as
finally adopted was denounced by the
Democratic president. who refused to
sign ii, as a betrayal of the party,
and it was denounced no less strongly
by the Democratic candidate for gov
ernor in this state. who refused as a
senator to vote for it,
1T is always question how far Il
government, even when meddling di-
rectly with finance and business, is
responsible for panic and depression
but ii is plain that the Democratic ad-
ministration, during nineteen months
of disaster, cOincident with it, has not
been able to do anything to relieve busi-
ness stringency or restore public con-
fidence. Its record. no mater how par
tsans may seek to distribute the blame,
has been clearly one of utter imbe-
cility."
This is not the testimony of Il par
tisan organ nor that of Il newspaper
ordinarily Of Republican leanings. 1t
Is the calm, conservative voice of hon
estly Independent criticism, and its ver-
dict is the verdict of every thinking
citizen capable of looking facts square
ly in the face. Judged by its record
Democracy has failed. Is ii worth
while trying to educate it at the pub.

Wants the War to Go On.

Ex-Congressman Amerman was in
Harrisburg Thursday, and there poured
this instalment~of moonshine into the
ears of a Patriot reporter: "The Demo-
Gratis of Lackawanna county are MAX
ing such a campaign as they never
make, except in a presidential year,
and the chances are the entire ticket
will be elected. Meetings are being
held all over the county and clubs have
been organized to work for the success
of our ticket. I sincerely believe that
If the election for governor was held
next April instead of next month the
Democrats would carry the state. Busi-
ness is becoming better and prosperity
is speedily returning. But we must
keep up the agitation for tariff reform
if we expect to defeat the common
enemy"
Can ii be that the eX-congressmar
is jealous of "Protectionist" Edward
Merrifield? Or has he been sincerely
converted to free trade? Those who
want to keep up" an agitation" that
has already cost the country more thar
$4,000, 100000 should not fail to vote the
Democratic ticket.
