well-intentioned reformers, let fall this

sense may also at times breed folly
which is but the handmade of criminal

An Important Duty: Get Out the Vote.

An Important Duty: 0et Out the vote.
Every Republican in this county must
realize that a defeat next week would
weaken the party for a long time to
come. We do not consider that defeat
is probable next week; but it is possi-
bflity that can be averted only by active
and energetic work, in which each Re-
publican will do his utmost. The word
"defeat" is a relative term. AS we
here use tive do not mean the achieve
ment of a plurality, for that is perhaps
a remote possibility. We mean, in
stead, such falling off in the Repub-
lican vote as would encourage the lead
ers Of the opposition to lay plans for a
serious and determined battle one year
hence.
The issue to-day not only Is the sue
cess of the present Republican state
and county ticket; it Is, also, to per-
haps an unsupported degree, the sue
cess Of next years grand battle for
honest and efficient national govern
ment. A rousing victory one week
from tomorrow would carry conster-
nation to the Democratic enemy and
seriously cripple them for the fight of
1896. 1t would also be timely inspir-
alton to the Republicans Of the county
and would prepare them, as by magic,
for the contests to come. A weak and
indecisive plurality would discourage
Republicanism' and hold out new hope
to the local Democracy.
Let 1t be clearly understood, there
fore, that the Republican who is indif-
ferent now, because this is supposed to
be an "off year" is in reality, If not in
intention, Indifferent with reference to
the next presidency and with reference
to the partisan complexion of the next
congress. A vote withheld now means
an obstacle then; loss now means the
necessity for extra and arduous work
then; both Of which can be obviated
If every Republican will next week do
his duty.

Restore Adequate Protection.

In reference to the rumor that GER
tain Republican senators were dis
posed to dodge. in. the next congress,
the consideration of measures looking
to the restoration of an adequate pro-
tective tariff, the Manufacturer of
Philadelphia pertinently observes that
the acceptance of any scheme de-
vised by Grover Cleveland for avoid
ing increase of tariff-duties. must in-
volve betrayal of the cause OF protec-
tion and defiance of the proclaimed
will of the people. For the Republi-
cans to yield anything ito the president,
to surrender their principles in ad-
vance, and to begin the session with a
frahk confession that he is to be per-
mitted to have his own way, would be
both cowardly and scandalous. Their
duty is to prepare such legislation as
the people and their own principles re-
quire and to send 1t to the president
to approve or to veto as he may perfer.
He did as he pleased with Democratic
congress. To permit him to exercise
imperious control of a Republican con-
gress, elected in reputation of him
and his policies, would surely be to
ddscredtt both the congressman and the
party in the eyes Of the nation. The Re-
publtcans will go into the great con-
test of next year strong and hopeful
only ID they shall antagonize in the
most strenuous and persistent manner
every part of the revenue policy to
which Mr.. Cleveland has committed
himself"
This expression, we believe, fairly
represents public sentiment at this
time. The 6act is plain that the pro-
cesees OF the government are crippled
by the lack OF adequate revenue This
lack arose through the sacrifice of pro-
tective duties levied under the McKin-
ley law upon certain departments Of
American industry. To correct this
deficiency, it win be necessary either to
restore protection Of resort to direct
taxation OF the people, adddng a new
burden to the burdens already borne
by them IN consequence of Democratic

A Critical Period,

In view of the fact that representation
at the next Republican municipal CON-
vention will be determined upon the
basis of the Republican vote which will
have been cast at the Immediately pre-
ceding fall election, 1t behooves the par
ty in Scranton to get out the normal
vote one week from tomorrow. Wards
desiring to retain their present repre-
sentation will need to parallel hast
years gubernatorial poll.
This can be done If proper effort fs
put forth. The apathy Of the canvass
to date may be overcome by systematic
work in the campaigns closing week.
But II cannot Ibe too clearly understood
that If this is to be done, no time dare
be lost. The next five days are critical
ones from a political standpoint. They
will decide the question whether Re-
publican Pennsylvania is to remain a
beacon light to the Republicanism of
the nation or be obscured into q free
trade rush light.
The Scranton Truth Of Saturday con-
tained, among other bright features, a
story of the civil war by Colonel j. d.
Laciar, which narrates in charming
fashion how a brave Pennsylvania
mother saved her son from Anderson
VILE prison. The central incident of
the story is founded on fact. but the
narrative will take high rank among
the works which, through the medium
Of fiction. illustrate and illumtne that
memorable struggle for human free
dom.
The complaint is sometimes made
that the Office Of coroner is no longer
of real usefulness to the community.
The answer to that assertion depends
largely on the man who fills that Of

DR.. Longstreet the Office rarely justtfies
complaint. The voters Of Lackawanna
county will make no mistake in elect
ing DR.. Longstreet coroner.
Mr.. Bartl, the Republican candidate
for surveyor, should be elected, first,
because he Is pre-emmently fit for the
office; and secondly. because to defeat
him would be to deliver a blow to an
honorable ambition on the part of a
man who has fairly and alone carved
out his own career.

BLOW AT THE GAME
HARVARD FACULTY DETERMINED
TO KILL FOOTBALL.
Resolution Adopted That Declares
Various Sales of Trotting Horses.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, March 19.-The Har-
ward faculty, at their meeting, to-day, again
took a firm stand against Intercollegiate
football contests and tonight it looks doubt
full if the crimson will be represented by an
eleven on the gridiron next fall. The mo-
ton adopted this afternoon was worded as
follows:
cred a communication from the committee
on the regulation of athletic sports, dated
student Under their charge Should be per-
mitted to take part in intercollegiate foot
ball contests"
The communication referred to was a
statement prepared by the athletic commit
tee, appointed by the college corporation, to
have supervision in such cases as this. AT
a former meeting the faculty recommended
the abolition Of intercollegiate football to
the athletic committee. The latter replied
by suggesting certain notifications Of the
game, instead of Its utter abolition. The
recommendations proposed that all games
petitors; that the sale of tickets be limited
to graduates and undergraduates for them
selves and their guests. Reform in the rules
Of play was also proposed. AS regards inten-
tfonal rough play the advisors express the
college teams desire to play in an honorable
way, but that more effective legislation is
needed for the detection and summary pun
ishment of the exceptional player of a vicious
and ungovernable temper and to this end
they recommend an additional umpire and
an increase in the powers and responsible
ties of all the officials. Another meeting of
the faculty viii be held Aug. 2, when final
and decisive action on the question is an

Inc action of the faculty was empbati-
