George Du Maurier.

There is very little doubt that pos
ter!ty will deny to George Du Maurier
a place among the immortals. His en-
trance into the world of fiction was
rocket like, and 50 timed to a season Of
public inertia as to command the ap-
plause then most effusively accorded 10

quaint and somewhat cynic humor and
"Trilby" covered the whole ground be-
tween Partisan naughtness. with its
tang of Svengalian mysticism, and an
indulgent mastery over human foiblcs
not unlike that familiarized by Thacke-
ray. But no philosophy can explain its
amazing vogue or fully account for its
equally amazing subsequent drop in
popular interest. The episode in its en-
trety bids fair to remain forever un-
classified among the multiplying va
garies Of that most capricious of beings,
the modern literary public.
All in all. Du Maurier was a notable
man. 1t was something to have be-

say the genteel caricaturist that Re

But If we may be permitted to say

An Important Mass Meeting.

On Thursday evening Of next week
the Frothingham theater will BE- heard
in advocacy of Republican principles
three speakers whom every voter in
Lackawanna county ought to arrange
to hear. One of these, Hon. Charles En-
Ory Smith, editor of the Philadelphia
Press and eX-mnistar to Russia. is
well-known in a personal sense to many
Scrantonians, who heard him during
the Hastings campaign two years ago.
1t is generally admitted that he is one
of the most brilliant and polished ora
tors as he is also one of the most cour-
teous and estimable gentlemen in the
United States. The opportunity to hear
Mr.. Smith cannot be called other than
an intellectual treat.
The other two gentlemen who will
speak at the meeting in the Frothing-
ham come with national regulations for
effective oratory and sound common
sense. Hon. d. ID. Woodmansee is Presi-
dent of the Republican National
Cleveland, could have been governor
of Ohio had he wished to, and in all
probability will yet be of one Ohio's
national senators. His oratory is of the
dashing order. and it has won for him
popularity as a public speaker second
to that of no other Ohioan There can
be no question that the Central Repub-
lican club is particularly fortunate in
being able to secure such an array of
brains and eloquence for a congress
sional district in which there does not
appear to be large element of doubt
as to the election of the Republican
candidate.
We thus early call attention to this

side the city may arrange to be pres

record is one of which any man might
well be proud.
Can the voters of the Second legisla-
tive district turn such man down?
We think not. We believe that the peo-
pie of this district want Alex. Connell
to represent them again at Harrisburg
and that they will not only vote for
him, but also work for him from now
until the polls close on the third day
of next November, when they will
prove to the people of the state that

goes q majority of the electoral votes

sofa and Iowa, SO will go the presi-
dency. Nor is there among dispassion-
ate Republican observers more than a
hope of breaking the solid south. If it
breaks at any point 1t will be in Della
ware and Maryland, and even in those
states the odds of battle are to all ap-
pearances with the enemy.
This, however, is not necessarily dis
couraging. The chances are daily
growing brighter that Protection and
sound money will secure in each one
of the foregoing five pivotal states n
substantial plurality. and this, with or
without assistance from the south. will
elect Mckinley handsomely. The only
mistake liable to be made by Republi-
cans is in imagining that the opposi-
ton is 10 longer to be feared 1t is to
be feared, regardless of superficial APP

a menace to business prosperity and to
the preservation unsullied Of our ma

Locke's reputation as a philosopher is
too great and has been too enduring to be
questioned. He lived ana wrote two GEN.
turies ago. At that time corpora tions.
syndiGatCs and trusts were unknown.
There is no reference in his writings to
paper money. Silver was the standard Of
valuation. He cannot, therefore, be ac-
cused of being in the pay of corpora tons
or upon the side of monopoly In Opposi-
tion to the people, or of being aCtuated BY
prejudice for or against bank notes or
treasury notes. or of being a blind Worship
per of the yellow metal. At that time the
modern system of machinery as q substi-
tute for hand labor had not begun to de-
velop, so that the labor question of today
did not affect his views. Neither was
there then the great expansion of CONNER
cial credits. which the inventive talent
of the nineteenth century and the demands
of business under the altered conditions Of
life have created. 1t must therefore APP

AT TOTE INSTITUTE.
The Students Drilled i'm an Election
Held According to Law.

The students of the Jacob Tome In
stitute were on Monday given lesson in
the exercise of the franchise. The
grammar and high schools were divided
into voting precincts. Regular polling
booths. with railing, judges, tables, ballot
boxes and stalls, in which voters marked
tickets, were erected. The election was
carefully conducted according to the
election laws of the State. The super
visors of elections performed their duties,
registration lists were made out, judges
and clerks representing the two dominant
parties were appointed by the supervisors,
and the regular ballot was voted, sample
ballots being used. The regular form was
followed in voting, and even in counting
the ballots the method prescribed by law
was followed. The greatest interest was
manifested by the pupils, each being
anxious to vote for the candidate of his
choice. A careful canvass of the school
showed that in almost every case this was
determined by the political preference of
the pupils father. The result of the
election was announced before the school
and vociferously applauded. The vote
was: Republican, 176; democratic, 1870;
scattering II; defective ballots, rs. At
the same time poll vote was taken in
the primary schools, which resulted in 92
votes for Mckinley and 70 for Bryan.
