Major Mckinley seems TO be carrying
Canton unanimously.
The SOuth's Mistake.

Beginning next Tuesday for three
days thereafter, the city Of Richmond,
Va, former capital of the Southern con-
federacy. will be center Of national
interest. on that day will begin the sixth
annual reunion of the United Confed-
crate Veterans; and on 1t will also occur
the laying of the corner stone Of q
500, 900 monument which is to be erected
in the center of Richmond's finest park
to the memory of Jefferson Davis. We
print elsewhere the programme of the
occasion, and 1t seems to us to call for
some brief comment.
To reunions Of the men who wore the
gray there can be no possible objection
so long as the coming together of these
former comrades in arms Is in a spirit
purely Of fraternity and friendship. The
warriors of the South We're brave and
true to what they thought was right.
No one begrudges them the recollection
Of their valor. 1t is a common heritage
ennobling for all time the name "Ameri-
can" They would be false to the in
stincts Of genuine manliness did they
not take honest delight in the calling
up Of memories of joint hazards and suf-
ferings and pleasures during the strain
Of civil strife. The North Is not jealous
OF these reunions of the veterans Of the
gray. It appreciates their usefulness
and stints not of its kindly interest and
sympathy. Indeed, 1t has no reason to
be other than magnanimous: all that
It hoped for has come to it from the
crucible of war; all that 1t expects In fu-
ture in the way of national unity and
advancement seems certain Of realiza-
tion.
But with it's present professions Of
satisfaction ut the issue of the rebellion
how can the South reconcile the rearing
Of exultant memorials to treason? The
foremost men of the South today admit
that secession was a futile dream; con-
cede that the experiment urged on by
Jefferson.Davis, even If it had at the be-
ginning succeeded, 1t would have led
ultimately to confusion and dismay; and
voluntarily cry pardon for past lndorse-
ments Of q now-recognixed mistake.
Under these circumstances, does It re-
feet credit upon their judgment for
them to spend vast energy and money
In communicating q leadership which
deceived? Do men Of discretion as a
rule build monuments to those who mis-
lead and begui1e them? Is 1t indicative
Of good sense for the buncoed to defy
the buncoer? If secession was mir
age, then was Jefferson Davis a false
prophet, and the perpetuation Of his
memory becomes the eternal publica-
tion Of his folly.
It will be observed that we have con.
sidered this question solely from the
standpoint oeoonsistency for the South.

CUBA's DELIvERANCE SURE.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
The fact Is, simply, that the admins
tration seems indisposed to lift a hand
for the benefit Of the struggling Cubans,
whereas the people, who put that admin
istration In power, are, almost without ex-
ception, anxious to have 1t intervene. It
Is possible, therefore, that the existing
reign OF terror and feroc!ty may be con-
t.nued untilShe 5th of March, 1897, but we
do not believe 1t possible, in the face Of the
popular demonstrations that have been
made. that a new congress will connfve at
the destruction of civilization in coun-
try 50 near to US geographically. and 80
closely related to US in commerce and mu-
tual interest and feeling.

further apart I believe they viii be
closer in their relations than they are
now or ever have been. The west Is
loyal to the interests Of the whole coun-
try. Without manufactures the west
ern Republicans in congress have main
tained with great zeal the theory Of pro-
lection to American industries. Their
interest in coast defences has not been
less than that Of those who live on the
seaboard. The demand for a navy
commensurate in strength with our ma
tional greatness and national danger has
found its strongest advocates among
the representatives of the states that
could not be disturbed by a hostile
force by land or sea-"
In another place in the same article
the Colorado senator declares that "an
insult to our flag would be resented by
in no other part of the country. They
would not inquire what it would cost or
how it would affect trade and commerce.
There never will be two republics made
out of this one. The west will never de-
sire it. and If the east ever does the west
will prevent 1t. A common flag. COM
mon ancestry, common interest. JUS
tice to all in legislation and administra-
ton, will keep the states in a union
never to be broken by foreign or domes-
tic foe" These words We're written
prior to the ST. Louis convention, but it
is unlikely that their author would now
care to modify them. His enthusiasm
for one particular belief-free coinage OF
silver-has carried him to an extreme
position; but if prosperity shall be re-
stored as result of the working out Of
the st. Louis platform Senator Teller's
constituents will share equally with
eastern men in the benefits thereof and
will consequently have their eyes open
ed to their present mistake.
In any event. the west is loyal and
will remain so without reference to the
financial or any other seemingly sec-
tional line of division.

But there Il another view that requires
to be taken into consideration. BY all
the rules OF civilized warfare Jefferson
Davis. having lifted the standard Of
revolt against his government and
failed, must be regarded not as q
martyr. but as a traitor. With mag
nanimity unparalleled. the victors OF
Appomattox declined to exact from him
treason's established penalty: but is 1t
fair. under any view Of present condi-
tions, for Americans claiming alle-
glance to the government which Jeffer-
son Davis tried todisrupt, now to reward
that magnanimity by dedicating to
treason q conspicuous public tribute?
It must make decent Americans weary
TO read Of United States revenue cutters
firing upon steamers which seek to con-
vey munitions of war to the Cuban
insurgents. Although the voice of the
people is overwhelmingly for Cuba and
freedom, the arm Of this government Is
deliberately stretched forth to aid the
tyranny of Spain. Truly, we have fallen
into curious ways.

Today the Republicans Of Luzerne
county will hold primaries for the
choice Of delegates to the county and
senatorial conventions of next Tuesday.
An effort has been made to secure a
larger participation at these primaries
than usual of the better ele-
ment Of Republicans in order that
the delegates chosen may be men
Of superior intelligence and char
acter AS an incentive to this end, the
three candidates for the congressional
nomination have united in a pledge not
to use money to influence the conven-
ton. There being no large inducement
in prospect, 1t is hoped that the market
able type of delegate will not this time
take the trouble to seek an election at
the primaries, but will yield place to
men Of principle. The hope, however
Is not very bright.

To Entoin a Sale of Land.

A bill in equity has been filed by George
B. Starkweather against Elizabeth B. Hub
bard, executrix of Stephen A. Hubbard,
and others, praying that w. w. and George
H. Wright, trustees, may be enjoined from
selling part Of tract of land, known as
"Springvale' or ''Bailey's Purchase" con-
taining about 51.52 acres on the west side of
the Eastern Branch road. Mr.. Starkweath-
er states that he and Mrs. Hubbards hus-
bande several years ago became the pur-
chasers of suburban real estate to the
amount of about $4,000. Various deals
were made in 1t, and after her husbands 8
death Mrs. Hubbard advanced about 81, ,OOU
to protect the property, Mr.. Starkweather
giving q deed of trust on the property mem
toned, and also another deed Of trust for
1852. Half Of the property was sold to q
syndicate. Now, Mr.. Starkweather claims,
the property is about to be sold, much to
his disadvantage He claims, too. that Mrs
Hubbard has failed to execute certain re-
leases on the property. He asks. therefore,
that the sale be enjoined, that the releases
be executed, and that he may be allowed
two years within which to make sale of
all or any part Of all of said properties.
Judge Cox granted a temporary restraining
order, returnable the 9th instant. Mr..
Starkweather is represented by Attorney
VIM. F. Mattingly.

AUSqRIA'S EMPEROR.

His Royal Words I'm DECORATING n
FavOrfte.

Among all the crowned heads OF
Europe, not even excepting Eng
lands queen, no one has warmer
place in the hearts of the people than
Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria.
A thorough gentleman, one of Gods
noblemen, who, whatever he may
think as to the divine right of
kings, is himself, first of all, and
above all, man, with all the prin-
ciples, all the virtues of manhood.
He is never so much at home, never
SO completely satisfied, as when par
ticipating in some fete or festival of
his subjects, or else distributing royal
favors.
1t would be impossible to find a
ruler more thoroughly patriotic,
more perfectly alive to and anxious
for the public veal, or one who Is
more of a patron of science, educa-
ton and the arts. Some idea of his
generous interest, as we'll as of his
profound knowledge in this respect,
for, in the distribution of royal favors
the emperor of Austria does lnotll-
ing by proxy, was afforded when, in
consideration of the benefits derived
by himself personally, and in the
imperial household, from the use of
the genuine JOHANN HOFF'S
MALT EXTRACT, he decorated
| JOHANN HOFF with the Cross
and Crown of Merit.
The precise words of the Emperor
Francis Joseph of Austria, on con-
ferring the royal favor, were as fol-
lows: 1T affords me great pleasure
to decorate you with the Cross Of
Merit with the Crown"
Ask for the Genuine JOHANN
