HELP THE HOSPITAL.

There is probably no institution in
Scranton that is more worthy of the
universal support Of its citizens than
the Lackawanna hospital An institu.
tion that affords shelter and relief to
the afflicted reGardlers Of sect or creed,
it is one that should receive sncour-
ag,ment in the way Of contributions
that would obvists the necessity on
part Of the management Of ever calling
for aid to meet running expenses, 1t
would seem that the people who freely
give their time to the management Of
the institution should not be hampered
in their work by the lack of sufficient
funds.
The announcement that the hospital
Is short Of funds therefore is cause
for regret The recent improvements
and the establishment OF a school for
nurses have increased the expenditures
to such an extent that the cash on
hand has been insufficient TO liquidate
outstanding bills, and the officials in
some instances have been obliged TO
advance money from personal funds to
pay the salaries Of employees in the
hospital building. This is state of
sffairs that should not exist in gener-
ous. open-handed Scranton, and it is to
be hoped that the management Of the
institution will not be obliged to take
q step backward by reducing the fscil-
ities of the hospital through lack OF
funds.
A business mans carnival for the
benefit Of the hospital has been an.
nounced for date in the near future.
Let the enterprise bs supported and
patronizsd in way that shall testify
that the earnest workers at the noble
institution have not been forgotten by
the good citizens Of Scranton.

HAWAIIAN PROGRESS.

ElAW AllAN 7 hSNhGSS'
Honest Americans of all shades Of
partisan belief ought to read with pc
culiar pleasure current reports OF the
steady progress that has been made by
the hardy patriots of Hawaii in the ir
efforts to establish government by the
people on the ruins of rotten bar
barism. The news that President Dole
and his associate officials of the pro-
visional government have successfully
devised plan to psrpetuats constltu-
tional rule by means Of fair elections,
to be participated in by intelligent and
responsible citizens, 10 dOubly gratity-
ing in visw Of the abortive effort made
by our misguided chief executive TO
throttle this republican uprising and
fortify in its place the wanton auto
cracy Of brutal queen.
This atrocious act of uurepublican
diplomacy, although happily uusuc-
csssiul, has given to the better ele-
meuts Of Hawaiian citizenship pscul-
lar and an intimate claim upon true
American sympathy. Quite apart from
the natural destiuy Of the islands,
which points uusrringly to ultimate
political union with the United States,
the fact that tho first successful effort
OF these sturdy Pacific patriots to break
the fetters of licsntious barbarism as
imposed by vsngsful aud impsrialis
tic queen, was for q time jIopared
through the deceived obstiuacy ut the
very executive who should have given
to it his heartiast moral support has
impaired to the new experiment an
element Of extraordinary interest. The
great mass Of Americans feel sympa-
thetically drawn toward it, They ex-
perience an uncommon sense OF mutu-
slity in this aggressive and wisely .dl-
rectsd striving for free institutions
similar to our own.
. The draft Of the proposed constitu-
tion has yet to be submitted to the
electorate for approval or rejection,
Upon its face it seems fair and just; 4;
and it is to be hoped that its essential
principles, If not its exact phrassology,
may be overwhelmingly ratified at the
Hawaiian polls. The provisional gov
erument which, with only handful Of
brave men behind it, could triumphautly
resist the combined intriguss Of the
opposition, the hostile Vaccinations Of
the great Sprsckles sugar oligarchy
and the un-American plotting Of the
American executive, beating every an
tagonist fairly and squarsly with his
own chosen weapons, thoroughly de-
serves to be prolonged until such time
as returning reason shall bring TO it's
support Influences now unjustly ar
raysd against it. The defeat of such a
cause, after tho wonderful successes
that it hss met, would attain the pro =
portions of an international mi|1r-
tune.

AS TO OLEOMARGARINE.

1t Is an agreeable indication OF re.

ufaCturs Of oleomargarine. In insti.

culturists passed with practical unani-

islature to remove its inhibltions on
this manufactured substitute for butter
and enact instead law simply guard
ing against deception in the sale Of
oleomargarine.
The Rpriuciple upon which lsgisla-

man ufacture and sale is based is mani
testify vicious principle. Oleomarga-
rine is not, like alcohol or strychnine,
o poison. 1t does not ruin either the

TMO CHANGES.

John H. Blackwood. for nearly two
years city editor Of The TRIBUNE, has
resigned to accept the management of
the new rockingham theater, posi-
tlon for which he is eminently fitted.
Mr.. Blackwood's relations with the
owners and manager of The TRIBUNE
as well as with his fellow employees,
have been Of the most cordial char.
acter. Prompt in the execution OF his
duties, gentleman of unwavering
probity and writer Of versatile gifts,
Mr.. Blackwood leaves none but friends
behind him, and assumes his new posi-
tion with the very best wishes of all.
The position of city editor, thus va
Gated, has been filled by the appoint
msnt of James +. Mitchell. who has
been a member of THE TRIBUNE staff
continuously since its first number.
Mr.. Mitchell has proved in many
trying emergencies a newspaper
man to the back bone. He wields a
lacile pen, is indefstigable in pursuit
Of news, possesses good Judgment and
has never been known to betray q con -
fdence. The years that he has accept.
ably acted as assistant city editor are
good assurances that he will prove
worthy of this larger trust.
