Defunct Statesmen.

Buried in the Democratic ruin Of last
Tuesday are three distinguished states
men who have occupied prominent
places in the Democratic party for a
number Of years. They are Senator
Hill. of New York, Senator Brice. of
Ohio, and Senator German, of Mary
land. While neither of these men has
been regarded as available for the
presidential nomination next year, all
three have been potential leaders in
their party. Not only has each Of these
lost his state, but the result Of Tues
days election will retire two Of them
Brice and Gorman-from the United
States senate, and, most likely, to per-
manent private life. The new legisla-
lures chosen on Tuesday in Maryland
and Ohio Will elect the Successors Of
German and Brice, and both these leg
islatures will contain large Republican
majorities. Unfortunately H!lps term
in the senate is not yet near enough
its close to be affected by last Tues
days election, but THE fact that he has
lost his state for the second time in
succession by AN overwhelming major
ity will impair his power as party
leader and practically place him among
the fallen champions Of the Democratic
party.
The retirement Of Gorman and Brice
from the upper house of congress will
be hailed with INTENSE qualification.
Maryland will for the first time since
the war have a Republican senator.
The retirement Of Brlce will give the
Republican state of Ohio two Repub-
lioan senators for the first time in a
great many years. The fact that Ohio
has had during all these years one
Democratic United States senator has
been one of the peculiar anomalies in
|politics. While that state has been
steadfastly Republican in every presi-
Dental election since 1860, about once
in six years when Senator Sherman's
colleague was to be elected the Demo-
Gratis have captured the legislature.
Not the least important feature Of the
elections last Tuesday is that they have
irrevocably fixed the political complex
ion of the United States senate after
March 4, 1897. and made that body
Republican by "a substantial majority.
In addition to the Republican gains in
Ohio and Maryland, there will be two
Republican, senator's from the new
state Of Utah. It follows that when a
Republican president comes into Of
flee in March 1897, he will have the
support Of q congress Republican in
both branches. which means much to
the country. 1t means the complete
restoration OF Republican policy in the
national government. and that means

IN MEMORIAM.

In the mystic realms of the land of fame,
On Genius granite block,
In jeweled letters a new-cut name
Is set In the solid rock.
There are jewels Of wisdom, gems Of truth.
OF humor and fancy free;
Rubies OF manhood. pearls of youth,
And diamonds of infancy.
While the breath Of an innocent fancy
greets
The dawn OF a childish brain,
Lullaby ladies In hush-a-by streets
VIII rock him to sleep again.
So long as kindly humors light
Shall brighten the worlds duh plod.
The babies will fish for the stars by night
With Wynken and Blynken and Nod.
o. the years are many. the years are long,
But so long as Little Boys Blue
Are walked by the voice of an angels song,
So, all the long ages through,
Men will sigh and women will weep,
At the sight of the trundle bed
Where the little one dreamed Of his toys
In sleep
And woke with the angel, dead.
So, there in the mystic realms Of fame,
On Genius granite block,
In letters Of fire new-cut name
Is blaZed in the solid rock.
But here in the land of mute repine
A spirit of love still sings,
As the. fragrance Of mellow and rare old
wine
To the broken fagon clings.

The two great counties of Lacka-
wanna and Luzerne stood together
epaendidly in the recent political con-
test, each rolling up magnificent ma
jority not only for Judges Willard and
Hice. the local candidates for Superior
court judges. but for the entire ticket
Of the Republican party. Standing to-
gether a,armoniously the Republicans
OF these two counties can be a power
In state politics. This Is what The
Tribune urged last summer, and this
at will continue to urge in the future.
Cooperation between. the Republicans
of the two counties has secured for
each O representative on the Superior
court bench. A similar policy in the
future will make them a potent factor
and secure recognition for both in other
respects.

Placing the Credit.

The dimensions of Tuesdays victory
in this county have by this time become
sufficiently well defined to warrant the
placing of some of the credit A great
variety of causes doubtless could be
enumerated as contributing factors to
the general and generous triumphs; but
without pausing to consider all of
these, it remains a duty of justice to
say a few words in praise of the superb
executive skill exhibited in this CAM
paign by County Chairman John H.
Thomas.
1t is not an exaggeration to say that
had his counsel and sagacity been sub
tracted from the canvass. the returns
on Tuesday evening might have told a
different story. and one less agreeable
from a Republican standpoint. From
the moment of his selection as chair
man Mr.. Thomas took the utmost pains
to impress upon his associates on the
county committee and upon Repub-
lcans generally the urgent need of sys-
tematic organization. The prevalent
apathy was enormous. 1t would have
discouraged most men. But to Chair
man Thomas 1t was rather challenge,
and he met 1t by a quiet yet determined
marshaling of forces which eliminated
as we know in victory in excess of
the utmost expectation. The county of
Lackawanna not only has gone Repub-
lican, but it to-day ranks as the sixth
Republican county in the common
wealth, being exceeded in plurality only
by Philadelphia, Allegheny, Lancaster,
Delaware and LuZerne: and this scarce
ly two months after the waging in it
of the probably hottest factional battle
in the recent domestic difference.
Chairman Thomas. to be sure, had
loyal assistants. The secretary of the
county committee, Mr.. James f. Wat
kins, contributed faithful service and
it's treasurer, ex-Lieutenant Governor
Watres, was, as usual, tower of
strength and indefatigable in his ef-
forts toward victory. Nor should the
executive committee be forgotten.
Under it's direction canvass was in
stituted in the city districts the effects
of which may be seen in the almost
phenomenal pluralities cast for the
state ticket in Scranton and Carbon
dale. In fact, there were many will
ing and effective lieutenants; but none
of these will bpprlldpe to Chairman
Thomas the tribute which his superior
generalship and unfailing counsel have
so well warranted. The completed Off
cial footings will form more than a
flgurative compliment to his skill.
1t Is well enough to talk about Brad
ley, of Kentucky, for vice president:
but what is the matter with Griggs, of
Jersey?

The Tribunc's Busy Office.

Matters in the newspaper field have been
a little lively during the week. The Trib-
une has moved to It's new building on
Washington avenue and has added an
other machine to its battery. The Tribune
IL now the busiest Office in Northeastern
Pennsylvania, and the output of it's five
machines is probably greater than any
equal number of machines In the state.
The Times has engaged quarters in The
Tribune building and will be printed in
the latest and most modern fashion.
The Free Press has left the Republican.
In which Office Ii has been printed for
nearly a quarter of century, and will
hereafter be printed on The Tribune
presses. The Free Press Issued in an en-
larged manner and some very interes ting
departments have been added by the new
editor, Richard Beamish. The women's
department Is of especial interest.

AMERICAN FREE SPEECH.

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
Senor DE LONE has been making spir-
tied protest against liberation by the fed
eral government of meetings In the Unit
ed States to express sympathy with Cuba.
Senior De LONE Is under the rnisappre-
hension that the people Of the United
states are the subjects of the federal
government Of the United States, as this
people OF Cuba and of Spain are subjects
at present of the reigning monarchy. The
ill-advised letter written by Attorney Gem
substantially has doubtless contributed
to confirm this Misrepresentation in the
mind Of the Spanish minister vt Washing

One of the Spanish tricks now brewing
is to make another bluff at giving Gu
bans homo rule. This has been tried
too often. The only hope for Cuba Is
to get free of the Spanish incubus en-
tirely. 1t is shame that the big
United States has not the moral de-
cency to help kick the Spaniard out.

Thirdly Guests.

The old moot question as to whether
social engagements should be held to
the minute, or not has been settled at
last by a visiting Englishwoman of
high degree, and the etiquette of the
British court has been introduced into
fashionable New York. For dinner
party the minutes of grace allowed
tardy guests, the excuses made for
her who comes in before the hostess
herself arrives in the drawing room,
and the surprise OF arriving just on the
stroke Of the clock are all done away
with. Exactly three minutes after the
time mentioned in the invitations sent
out, whether one or all the guests
have arrived, the host leads the way
to the dining room. These three min
utes are allowed for the women to take
off wraps in the dressing room and
undergo the process of greeting or
Introduction proper before the meal is
announced. Iardy guests must suffer
the modification of paying excuses to
the seated hostess. For luncheons the
same rule holds good, as well as for
breakfasts. At wedding receptions
half an hour is the time allowance
given; and all these rules are printed
on leather-framed card that now
hangs in every private carriage
