As to Voting for Senator

In reply to Jack" Robnson's letter
asking him to request county chairnen
to let Republicans vote their preference
Tor senator at the ensuing primaries.
Senator Quay says:
have not yet received the letter ad-
dressed to me, and have only seen the
puphshed copy In the newspapers, But
KNOW no good reason why such a plan
might not be adopted. l have at all times
favored the popular vote system, and nv
own experience with it has been satisfac-
tory. However, as chairman of the state
committee, i have no more power i'm the
matter than any other Republican. Nor
could the state committee direct that a
vote be taken at the primaries. I might
suggest or recommend such a course but
could not require 1t. About the only way
see to meet the case Is to have the coun-
ty committees direct that such an ex.
preston of opinion be taken.
In Luzerne county the primaries have
already been held, hence a popular vote
there is out of the question. unless it be
taken at the primaries for the nomina-
tion of representatives in the next leRis-
lature. The same is true of a number
of other counties. including Philadel-
phia, whose verdict, IL concentra ted
upon any one favorite, would be most
influential. In Lackawanna county it
IL yet possible to put Mr.. Robinson's
suggestion into execution, provided that

The SymphOny Concert.

The kind people of Scranton should
not fail to testify by liberal attend
ance at tonight's benefit concert of the
Symphony orchestra their appreciation
Of the generosity of Professor Theodore
Hemberger in donating the proceeds
of that entertainment to the Home for
the F'riendless. His offer was made
at the very day of the recent fire
which so rudely interrupted the Homes
merciful ministrations, and was the
first token of the esteem in which that
charity is held.
The concert, entirely apart from its
worthy financial motive, will be an ar
tistic event of exceptional interest.
While there has been in our community
"a liberal development of choral singing,
the field of instrumental music partic-
ularly orchestral music. has been, per-
haps, less carefully cultivated; and it is
with n view to the development of this
fruitful field according to the more
classical standards that the symphony
orchestra has been organized. 1t rep
resents, not finished, but rather pro-
gressive and educational effort by men
anxious to spread love for the higher
forms of the harmonic art; and as such
IT. deserves the encouragement of all who
can perceive the desirability of aesthet-
ical as well as material progress in this
community.

Is NOW 4 DEMOCRAT.


From Roderick Ra2dom's Letter.
The attitude of Congressman Scranton
and the Republican cannot fail to he of
great service to the Democratic cause.
The Republican has not squarely endorsed
the Democratic ticket. hut every word II
has spoken since the CANVASS began has
been in the interest of the candidates
nominated without solicitation and with
out the use of money. Political self
preservation viii force him to maintain
that attitude until the close of the cam
paign. The Conrell faction has resolved
TO make no approaches for Cancellation
and to strain every effort to elect their
candidates without him. If they succeed
1t will have been demonstrated that "A Re-
publican ticket can be elected in the city,
not only without the aid of Congressman
scranton and his paper. but against his
active opposition. Such demonstration
would practically eliminate Hon. j. A.
Scranton as a factor in the politics of the
city and the county. Ii would make him
what The Tribune has often called him,
back number" Now. Mr.. Scranton Is
not courttng political death. He likes
place and power ard prestige as well as
anybody know. Having fully committed
himself in this controversy he cannot
without acknowledging the humiliation of
defeat turn back. He must light to the
end for Bailey, Boland, Robinson. and the
rest of the standard bearers of Dem
ocracy.

Is RICHLY MERlrED.

From the Chicago Record
Mr.. Secretary Chamberlain, member
of the British cabinet, expressed in "a
public speech Tuesday the great surprise
it has been to the British people to learn
that they 'were confronted with sus-
picion and even with hate" in every quar-
ter of the civilized globe. lf the minister
did no. know better, the reason he gives
for this state of affairs-that 1t Is in
spired by Jealousy at the success which
has attended England's quiet, simple and
open effort to build up It's trade and m
crease its commerce-wotild be very funny.
England's commerce has been built up
by just such measures of oppression as
drove the thirteen colonies into rebellion
except that in the revolutionary war Great
Britain learned the best way to extend
her influence was to extend 1t over small
and weak nations. The British posses
sions on this continent show fairly well
how Great Britain has built up her trade
and commerce and how much reason there
is that she should have won the dislike.

cans but of the world:

Although Turkey has disavowed re-
sponsiblity for the massacres, the chiefs
Of the Kurds have subsequently been given

Representatives of European powers in
May, 1895, united in pressing on the sultan
the need for reform in Armenia. and the
sultan formally accepted the proposition.

Home Study" is the title Of an ele-
mentary journal for students of archi-
lecture, mining, mechanics, electricity,
etc, that has recently been issued from
the office of the well known scientific
publication, the Colliery Engineer The
first issue of this new periodical. which
is edited by f. W. Ewald, NJ. E., is
filled with interesting and instructive
matter bearing upon sciences, con-
tributed by we'll known experts, and is
intended as an aid to students who are
in the rudiments of technical literature
The first issue is profusely illustrated
and the lessons and subjects treated
are made plain by numerous dia-
grams. Home Study" seems to fill the
a long felt want in this particular field
of literature and will doubtless prove
one of the most useful guides TO the
student in pursuit of Il scientific edu-
cation.

Elsewhere. by request, we print DR..
McLeod's letter TO the Truth i'm reply
to a recent paragraph criticizing one of
the doctors addresses. The point made
by DIR. Mcleod is that the editor of
the Truth attributed to him language
that he did not use. and that he dis
tlnctly disavows. The manuscript of
DIR. Mcleod sustains his point, and
ought not the editor of the Truth to ack-
nowiedge his mistake rather than seek
to defend it?

In every other quarter of the globe the
tactics employed In acquiring possessions
have been practically the same as on this
side Of the Atlantic. and since the islands
have nearly all been occupied such meas
ures as have been IN vogue In Venezuela
since the acquisition of British Guiana
have been resorted to. 1t has not worked
so well in the Transvaal. because the
Beers are better people than the Vene-
zulans.
The time has gone by when flying squad
ron buster is effective. Great Britain has
q larger navy than We have but she cam
not put feet on the ships and march them
across the continent. Mr. Chamberlain
may feel very sad about the estma tion in
which his country Is held the world over.
but the worst thing abo,it it all Is that the
estimation Is richly merted.

1t is no new thing for Mr.. Scranton,
in his characteristic lack of political
scruples, to try to blacken the charac-
ters Of his opponents. But when he
tries, by printed falsehoods, to vilify
the young Welshman, John NJ Ed
wards, we think he will find that it
doesn't pay. What do our Welsh
friends in Hyde Park think about it?

Restore Reciprocity.


A aoint of interest is made by the
Chicago Times Herald when. in plead
ing for a speedy revival of legislation
looking to "a restoration of reciprocity
agreements with the neighboring
American republics it calls attention to
the unfortunate fact that Legislation
Of this character which so vitality af-
fects the great industrial system upon
which the prosperity of our country
so largely depends. should be In charge
OF lawyers. very few of whom have
ever been engaged in any of the pro-
ductive industries and whose know
ledge of the markets and the principles
that govern trade must of necessity be
more or less theoretical and super
fetal"
our Chicago contemporary wisely be-
lieves that the lawyers and profess
sional politicians of congress should,
in matters of this kind. consult with the
manufacturing interests which are di-
rectly concerned. 1t adds: There
may have been division among manu-
facturers in the past on the question
or reciprocity. but today this vast in
terest. representing millions of dollars
worth of property is practically united.
This country has moved up within half
century from fifth place among man
ufacturing nations to unchallenged
leadership. In 1860 the value of manu-
factured product in the United States
2 nnn
and 1890 the gain was nearly $500,
0C0,00O or in thirty years about 300 per
cent more than the total gain in the
seventy years down to 1860. And yet
this country is not producing enough of
manufactured goods to supply home
consumption. In 1894 our importation
of cotton and woolen goods aggregated
nearly $4,000, 900, and in the first ten
months Of 1896 nearly sS0,00O,0O0. In
the last fiscal year we imported of
foreign fabrics, nearly all Of which
could have been made at home, $685.
100000 worth.
our manufacturers claim that the
economic policy of the government
should be shaped SO that they may be
permitted to supply this home demand.
They are not yearning for the foreign
markets of which we hear so much and
know so little so long as the home mar
ket offers such Il vast field of profit.
But If they are forced to enter the fierce
struggle with other nations they desire
to do 1t with .he prestige and power
supplied by reciprocity treaties. A
brief experience with the reciprocity
system demonstrated its reasonable
ness and its practcability beyond con-
tentiOn. It's restoration is concession
which neither party can afford to deny
the vast Interests that are affected"

1t meets with the favor of the district
committeeman,
But the main point against the propo-
sition is that with a local favorlte in
almost every county or section defect
ing TO himself the preference of the
voters of his locality. the total express
sion of the party in the state would be
hopelessly split up and would conse-
quently have no weight In guiding the
next legiala ture. When Senator Quay
adopted this plan II was Quay against
Hay Brown against q dozen others, with
almost no hope of any candidate getting
majority vote. The chances. there

If it required an annual outlay of
$4,000 to insure family against any
serious consequences from an attack of
bowel complaint during the year there
are many who would feel it their duty
to pay it; that they could not afford to
risk their lives, and those of their fami-
ly for such an amount. Any one can
get this insurance for 25 cents, that be-
ing the price of bottle of Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. In almost every neighbor-
hood some one has died from an attack
of bowel complaint before medicine
could be procured or a physician sum-
