The League and Silver.

The seventh annual convention OF the
Republican National league, which Will
today assemble at Cleveland, o., under
auspicious circumstances for a three
days session, will be wise II it shall en-
tirely avoid the subject of currency re-
form. 1t is not commissioned by the
party to enunciate party doctrine; and
at a time when there is an honest, and
TO all appearances, q somewhat radical
difference OF opinion among the league
delegates as to one of the chief current
issues. there would seem to be no occa-
sion for the league to leopard present
harmony and incur the danger OF posi-
BILE disorga nization by premature an
nouncements which may, within a
year. have to be revised.
We are aware that there Is a consid-
cradle demand In certain quarters for
a radical and emphatic Endorsement OF
gold monometallism, oblivious to the
bimetallic plank adopted three years
ago at Minneapolis. This demand Is
well expressed, so far as rhetoric is
concerned, by the Philadelphia Evening
Bulletin. which says:
The platform of 1882 Is safe" ground;
but bimetallism by means Of an interna-
tlonal conference has since become an
1ridescent dream and should no longer be
used as a deception on the people. The
convention at Cleveland should discard
that empty phrase and help TO put the
party on higher ground than juggling with
@ platitude. In 1892 International bimetal-
lism was an apparent possibility; I'm 1895

which the march of events has made
valueless.
Yet to heed this advice would. in the
first place, be to exceed the leagues
functions as party auxiliary and. in
the second. It would be equivalent to a
public confession that for twenty years
the Republican party, in its utterances
In favor OF an international bimetallic
agreement, has been deliberately i'm
posing on the public. A confession like
this would be impolitic If true, but it
would be literally suicidal If false;
which It would be at this time. The
Bulletins assertion that In the interval
between 1892 and 1895 events have oc-
Cured which are calculated to throw
grave doubt on the possibility Of an
ultimate agreement among the nations

but 1t Is so transparently false, in

Time to Quit FOOling.

For more than year the overwhelm-
Ing sentiment Of the people of Scranton
has demanded that the rickety and
ecklessly-operated cars Of the Scran-
ton Traction company be equipped with
suitable type OF lfe-saving tenders.
1t has been repeatedly shown. upon in
controvertible authority, that safe and
satisfactory tenders are now practical
possibilities in the street railway world;
that accidents on lines using these
tenders have almost wholly dIsap-
peared; and that the cost of such rend-
ers is trifiing compared with the re-
suits which they achieve.
Notwithstanding these plain facts.
the Scranton Traction company has
for year pursued and is now pursu-
ing a policy of evasion and double
dealing in Its treatment of the fender
problem. AS long as II could. 1t whlnea
that tenders did not fend. and when the
fallacy OF this f1imsy pretense was ex-

The successful manner In which 1t pro-
cured postponement at the last ses-
sion of councils is fresh in mind; and is
characteristic example of its arro-
gance and impudence.
1t strikes us that the citizenship of Il
city as large and as enterprlsing as
Scranton is entitled to have its will
executed in councils, whether de-
crepit corporation likes it or not. That
citizenship just now desires to have

Worth Keeping in Hind.

The impression which we feared

diatribe against Governor Hastings
printed in last Mondays Scranton Re-
publican has been conveyed. The
Wilkes-Barre Record of yesterday. in
its report of the visit of the Luzerne
delegation to Harrisburg in the inter-
est of Judge Rice. very naturally, al
though mistakenly, says: The fact
that the Scranton Republican Is going
for the governor lively IS pretty good
proof of the fact that Lackawanna is
very much divided on willard. on the
other hand. Luzerne is solid for Rice
as Is all this section OF the state"
There is, of course, no truth whatever
in this insinuation, Notwithstanding
that the Scranton Republican. while
pretending friendship for Mr. Wizards

lleve. studied how it could convey the
impression of factional division. But
we ask the real friends of Mr.. Willard
to contemplate the Republicans work:

dacy, after its magnificent Endorsement

blame for such failure will be justly
due TO the vicious, untrue and delib-

worthy medium OF revenge upon the

The Greatest rlodern Painter.

The countless readers OF "Trilby," by
this talk about the identity of Joe Sib-
ley and the announcement OF it by
James Mcneil Whistler. have had their
interest in this unique personality
awakened; and many who have
thought that Whistler is some insgnifi-
cant self-advertiser will perhaps be in
terested to learn that in the opinion of
many of the worlds best critics this
same Whistler stands out as absolute
ly and unqualifiedly the greatest artist
of modern times. Beside Whistler as
an artist Du Maurier as 4 writer. de-
lightful as he is to all, is as an ant be-
fore mountain. Other painters have
points of excellence and America is
justly proud to be the mother of Sar-
geant, of Innes, of Chase and of hun
dreds of other sincere exponents of the
beauty of the world that is and of the
poetry that ennobles it, yet Whistler
stands pre-eminently the leader of all
artists OF these century-end times.
If It be true that Statesmen are for
time what artists are for eternity"
the one man of the last half century
who will survive from these times

loved memory,-that man, We say, is
James Mcneil Whistler. There are
greater technicians in the world than
whistler; there are hundreds more
popular; there are numerous other
painters whose works possess beauties
that charm and enchant the world, but
the pictures of Whistler possess an in
carnate. inefrable beauty and poetry
OF color that make them unique and
unrivalled among the canvasses Of our
time.
That Whistler Is not generally
known and admired argues nothing.
Rembrandts pictures one day sold for
ten or fifteen cents. But Rembrandt
was none the less an artist and is 50
known today So will Whistler be
known and understood and be living
and breathing when this century shall
have become as forgotten and unknown
to the future citizens of the world as
past centuries and past peoples and
past genluses which fell short the mark
OF eternity are forgotten today.

Washington, March 19-Thc intima-
ton has been made in generally we'll
informed circles for some days to the
effect that Mr.. Thurston, the Hawaiian
minister, has not been altogether persona
grata to the ruling authorities in Wash

the almost positive assertion that repre-

between it and the United States would
be better served by the recall of Mr..
