One of the commoncst mistakes in
life is that the success of one man nee
essarily means the failure of another.
The old habit among newspapers of
fighting against the display of individ-
uality among their employees, on the
ground that it weakened the papers,
is happily becoming obsolete. Liberal
men like Mr.. Dana in New York and
Mr.. Kohlsaat in Chicago know bet
ter and do better than this They are
not afraid that their own laurels will
fade because their subordinates get
credit as well as pay for doing bright
things.

What Spain Cannot DO.

Spain has been able to prevent Cuba
from becoming a part of this country.
But she could not hinder the people of the
island from acquiring some of the re-

population Of the North American contin-

In his first annual report to the secre

In his first annual report to the secre-
tary of war, General Miles points out
the urgent need Of Strengthening our
coast Notifications. The United States,
he says, is in it's present condition prac-
tically at the mercy of a fourth-rate
naval power, which could lombard the
ports of the country and obtain from
them an indemnity which would not
only lift it's national debt, but which
would enable it to so increase it's sea
powers as to make 1t very difficult
matter for us to finally drive it away
from our soil. With first-class naval
power, the coasts of the country could
be undoubtedly occupied and so block
AIDED as to even cripple the military
power Of the government. General
Miles estimates that to fortify all our
coasts would cost $125, 900, 900; but he is
of the opinion that we might better pay
this sum than to lose several billions in
the destruction Of exposed property in
the event of q foreign war. This is a
subject to which the next congress
would do well to give earnest attention.

A child born on this day will be pleased
to know that the valiant city assessors

From present appearances it would seem
that Court Crier Snyder has no cause for
complaint that election hat bets are not
paid.
Scranton's coming poultry show would
be quite novelty but for the private side
walk enterprises in front of most Of the

Ajacchus' Advice.
To become a great modern pugilist-
never fight.
To avoid political hay fever-keep off
the municipal grass.

Warner Miller is right when he says
that Tammany's victory in New York
is really no victory at all. Tammany
only gained 10000 votes over last year.
If $4,000 citizens of Gotham had not
staid away from the polls last Tuesday
Tammanys small plurality would in
all probability have been nowhere. The
one real victory won in New York last
week was won by Warner Miller, who
wisely declined to let the Republican
party lose sight Of the one vital princi-
pal involved in the state campaign,
and who. in consequence, was grandly
sustained by the incorruptible and in
defatigable majority in the state-at-
large.

Mr.. Bayard may not like America.
His preferences at least are his own.
But so long as America pays for his
meat and potatoes it strikes us that a
refined sense of propriety ought to
cause him to repress his inclination
to slander and traduce America before
foreign audiences.

The Next Convention,

We trust that the assertion Is not
true that quorum of Republican
leaders, including Senator Quay, have
decided, in case Pittsburg's candidacy
shall fail, to favor San Francisco as the
site Of the Republican national conven-
tion. To hold the convention as far
west as that would not only be to make
it sectional affair, but it would also
be equivalent to depriving three
fourths Of the voters of the Republican
party of any chance of attending.
Worse than that, it would rob nine
tenths of the readers of the newspa-
pers of the privilege of reading about
the convention and its work on the
morning of the following day, San
Francisco being for practical purposes
beyond the range of prompt telegraph
ic communication.
The proper location of the conven-
ton, to be sure, is Pittsburg. Pitts
burg is central location, has adequate
hotel and press facilities and Is the
metropolis Of territory which has,
in modesty and patience, supplied rous-
ing Republican pluralities long enough
to be at last entitled to share in some
Of the party honors. But if for any
reason it shall be found necessary to
send the convention to city other than
Plttsburg, the only remaining place
worthy of consideration VS. Chicago,
and to Chicago it should go. With ref
erence to Chicago there are no elements
Of dubiousness. Her hotel accommo-
dations are ample; she has the largest
convention hall in the country; her
train and press facilities are unsur-
passed; and lastly her people are not
inexperienced in the knack of enter
tanning visiting multitudes.
Under no circumstances, then, should
the choice fall upon San Francisco. If
not Pittsburg, by all means Chicago.

IT was not expected that In New York,
Pennsylvania and Ohio the unnatural
mjorities of 1894 would be repeated in
1895. Maryland and Kentucky were re-
deemed this year and add some $4,000 to
the aggregate majority, while Nebraska
and Kansas exceeded last years major
tiles. These figures demonstrate the
correctness of the claim that the popu-
lar demand for the restoration of the
Republican party has not in the least
degree abated. This demand can be
still more intensified by the Republi-
cans in the congress that assemblies on
the first Monday of next month.

ences, there is no clause restricting the

ences, there is no clause restricting the
price of fares.
Some of the papers Of Philadelphia
take this fact deeply to heart; but We
prefer the attitude of the Record,
which, with Spartan fortitude. re-
marks: 1.-THE grant of trolley priv
ileges, without reservation on the part
of the city as to rates Of fare, was
made by councils, for whom the voters
are wholly responsible. How can the
people consistently complain of acts
done by the railway companies in pur-
suarce of grants Of power conferred by
the peoples own chosen representa-
tives? Is it not as clear as monday
that the remedy for the municipal
grievances of which such complaint Is
made begins at home? The voter
when he goes to the polls .arranges the
kind of public service he is to get from
corporations. If he doesn't like 1t let
him change it. The power lies in his
own hands"
1t is probable that this anxiety Of the
new trolley combine to get grip on
the purses of the people will have the
uninterded effect of squirting on the
work of the Andrews investigating
committee which is charged. among
other things, with the duty Of ascer-
tanning how far corporate influence has
affected the work of the Philadelphia
councils. In such an event, it may be
the unconscious means of leading the
people W. to a remedy for the very
abuses from which they now suffer. 1t
is certain that public sentiment is
aroused; and 1t will be singular indeed,
if the brigand tactics with which so
many cities are nowadays afflicted by
reason Of unguarded municipal troll
ley grants shall not in the long run
inspire their own cure.

This Years rIajOritieS.

The Philadelphia Press yesterday
contained an interesting table showing
the majorities in 1893, 1894 and 1895, in
the states where elections were held last
week. These states are Massachusetts,
New York, New Jersey. Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Ohio, Kentucky, Iowa, Ne
braska and Kansas. While the major
tiles last week in most cases fell far
below the abnormal figures Of 1894, they
by far exceeded those of 1893. In these
states combined the aggregate major
ity in the three years named was as fol-
lows.
