No Dearth of Good Men,

Some of the journals in this section
favorable to Major Mckinley are dis
posed to become excited over the Candi-
dacy of Senator Quay. They appear to
think that the Ohio man should be ac-
corded the next nomination by unani
nous consent OF course this is be-
cause they greatly admire Governor
Mckinley and do not specially admire
Senator Quay. Yet upon what claim
ought the former to be preferred to the
latter, or, in fact. to any of the other
gentlemen who are contesting with him
for the honors of national leadership?
We will leave personal considerations
aside, merely remarking that while Ma
jor inley Is one of the cleanest and
most gentlemanly men in public life. he
is not the only clean man nor the only
gentlemanly man among the Republi-
can presidential candidates.
Is it because he is the foremost pro-
tectionist OF his day? That would seem
to point to his return to congress. where
tariff bills are framed. rather than to
his installation in the white house, the
duties of which are executive rather
than Legislative. Quay, as a manager
of men, would be ten-fold more at home
in the presidential chair than McKin-
ley. Besides, he has a wider range Of
information and could come into touch

with the people at more points than
could Major Mckinley. whose public
life has been devoted to the study of
speciality, at the expense OF many other
subjects of equal cOmpleNlty and nearly
equal Importance. What is true OF
Quay in these RESPECTS is true also OF
Reed. of Cullom. and of Allison. Either
of these would represent more varied
equipment than Major Mckinley, and
either would equally command the
party strength.
The Tribune would support Major
Mckinley for president with unbound
ed enthusiasm, for 1t regards him as a
signally high type of the patriotic. IN
tellcctual citizenship of the land. That
he is 4 man of courage has been proved
by the answering firmness with which
he has stood by the protective prin-
cipie ut Zines when the political skies
looked dark and ominous. His per-
sonal worth as a friend and neiShbor
is beyond asperslon. He is also man
who recognizes the necessity of organ.-
zation in politics and appreciates the
claims of those who sustain the heat
and burden of political conflict. We.
therefore, have no wish to dlsparagc
him in the least. But we beg leave to
suggest that he is only one of Republi-
canisms good men. There are others
Others equally brave, equally clean,
equally worthy and equally grateful
for service rendered; others whose
nomination would justify equal conf
derce and command equal enthusiasm.

As to Harmony.

There are two kinds OF harmony
One kind is illustrated when honest
men who have honestly differed get to-
gether like men and bury the hatchet'
That is the kind which is needed among
the Republicans of Scranton. and 1t Is
the kind which. SO far as the great
rank and file of the party Is concerned
will yet prevail.
The other kind has to do with de-
liberate, wilful and ineXcusablo party
traitors, bargain-an d-sale Republicans
with neither conscience nor character
This kind of harmony uses club ana
secures peace by driving the assass!ns
out of camp.
Both kinds of harmony are necessary
to q wise reorganization of the local
Republican column. and neither Will be

The Next War Cloud.

That sooner or later Japan will war
with Russia for the mastery In that
portion Of the orient where Russian In
fluence is now specially aggressive mas
long been predicted by students OF IN
ternational politics. and 1t Is rapidly
receiving symptomatic confirmation.
The bitterness of Japan toward Russia
for its action at the close OF Japahs
recent war with China, in limiting the
scope OF Japan's indemnity Is readily
remembered. We quoted, at the time,
some comments made by a high Jap
anese official to Colonel Cockerill, which
showed that the quick-witted inhab-
itants Of the mikado's realm had taken
deeply to heart this alleged preach
of faith by the government of the czar,
which had previously been counted
among Japan's friends and possible al
lies. 1t was then said that Japan would
not forget the treachery, but would
prepare to avenge it in due season.
Suggestive fultilment Of part Of these
predictions comes in the news that the
mikado and his ministers. in outlining
the imperial policy for the next decade,
place greatest stress on an enlarge
ment Of the army and the navy. leav-
ing internal and industrial improve
ments almost entirely i'm allegiance.
The army is to be increased by the ad-
dition of three new divisions, giving 1t
a peace footing of more than 100000
men; and the effectual strength OF the
navy is to be multiplied by five. For
ten years, $s, 100000 a year will be spent
on preparations for war. In addition.
SEQ, 100000 of the indemnity received
from China is to be applied to the wip-
ing out Of the present war debt, and
the remainder, about $4,000, 900, will be
applied on the new army and navy,
notwithstanding the enlargements pro-
vided for in the regular budget.
This redoubling of the military en-
ergies Of the Japanese may or may not
have u war with Russia as Its incen-
tive; but 1t is of interest to note that

Democratic Rainbow Chasing.

IT is apparent from developments At
Washington that the administration
will from now on employ it's utmost
power to force the Democratic party AT
the Chicago convention to come out
fiat footed for gold monometaliism'
This is foreshadowed in the announce
ment made by Secretary Carlisle, after
a. conference held on Monday with lead
ing New York bankers, that II the
Democracy hopes to retain the support,
moral and financial, of the business ele-
ment of the country, it must declare un-
euuivocally for sound money and Of
fer neither truce nor compromise to the
free coinage wing. In that he unques-
tionably speaks for the president, ana
along that line will the administra-
ton forces without doubt array them
selves.
The only possible effect of such q
policy will be to split the Democratic
party in twain. 1t will not threaten, 1t
will accelerate Republican supremacy.
The position of the Republican party on
this issue was well defined at Mime
apolis four years ago. and it will not
vary at st. Louis. The Republican
party believes in sound money, and
enough of it to run the government
without going in debt. 1t has no mar
row prejudice against silver. On the
contrary, it will do its best to secure
a restoration of silver to its old-tlme
plane of legal equality with gold, by
means of an international agreement.
But first and above all, 1T Will de-
mand that the tariff shall be so ADJUST
ed as to swing the balance OF trade
once more in our favor and when that
shall be accomplished, and the govern
ment put on self-sustaining basis, 1t
will be time to consider changes in
the currency system.
When we consider the enormous
losses which the Democratic party has
inflicted on the country-the aggregate
Of which is not less than twice the
entire cost of the civil war-there il

Spurious Economy.

No word Is quite SO badly abused
these days as the word ECONOMY
For economy's sake, the routine appro-
Washington are being cut in many in
stances far below the actual needs of
the government service, not to speak of
desired improvements incidental to
growing population with its enlarging
volume OF public business. This is done
in obedience to orders. Speaker Reed,
1t is said. wants this house to make u
record, not for liberality toward plain
public needs, but for ECONOMY" He
remembers the howl made concerning
the billion dollar" congress. and not
withstanding that this has grown to
be a "billion dollar" country. he pro-
poses to cut expenditures to the lowest
possible notch. in the hope that the sem
ate will assume the responsibility OF
putting the figures UP to reasonable
basis.
The city of Scranton has seen speci-
men of this bogus economy, on small
er scale, in the recent deliberations OF
the estimates committee of councils
The Tribune yesterday gave a list OF
valuable and urgently needed improve
ments which have fallen by the way
side because of the estimates commit
tees desire to make receipts and eX-
penditures tally. Some of these i'm
provements--notably the Spruce street
new paving item, separate cells for wo-
men prisoners, a paid fire department
and the proposed additions to Nay Aug
park-are of such importance to the
city that it were better to increase FOR
a time the city debt than to defer them
indefinitely. In comparison with the
benefits which would accrue from the
appropriation Of sufficient money for
these improvements the slight increase
in the tax rate incident thereto would
not be felt by the average taxpayer.
But ECONOMY" false economy. has car
ried the day; and the city's develop
ment is correspondingly retarded.
We believe the time Is auspicious for
the Inauguration of a more broad
gagged policy both locally and at WASH
ington. 1t is our notion that the people
are willing to pay a reasonable price
for a good quality OF municipal and ma
tional service. and that they are far
more likely to approve policy whlch
accords recognition to this Willingness
than one which saves at the spigot to
waste at the bunghole.
