explode. The people Of Astoria have
given large and valuable subsidy for
the building of railroad, and it looks
as though it alone would pay any cap
italist to build road for it, but that is
mistake The road is not being built
for the subsidy. 1t has no weight with
the promoters of this great land and
water scheme. When the fight gets at
its height, the entire Northwest will
unite. There will be but two points of
commercial magnitude on the Pacific
coast-San Francisco on the south and
Astoria on the north Then will come
improvements and vast establishments
at the mouth Of the Columbia. Your
Northwestern Senators will contend
against those of California and the

The Iowa, the great war vessel, which
was launched last Saturday, at Phila-
delphia, is claimed to be not only the
greatest of American war ships, but
the greatest one afoat. The Governor
of Iowa was present at the ceremonies,
accompanied by his staff, and his
daughter had the honor of christening
the great ship, breaking a bottle of real
champagne over her prov, in spite of
the prohibition proclivities of the peo-
pie of that state.

Colonel Geo. A. Williams arrived
here Sunday evening from Atlanta, be-
ing four days making the trip, owing to
the warm rains in the mountains and
the bad condition of the roads. He is
manager of the Atlanta Gold and Sill
yer Consolidated Mines at Glen Davies
and reports everything connected with
his mines and mill in very satisfac-
tory condition. Forty more stamps will
doubtless be added to his mill during
the coming summer and the working
forces of the mines will be greatly in
creased. 1t is evident that Atlanta will
enjoy greater prosperity than it has
since the S0's.-Elmore Bulletin.

Edison has discovered a material,
which enables him to look through
eight inches of wood and see moving
objects. 1t is the tungstate OF calcium
and Edison tested 1900 different sub
stances before he hit upon the right
one. 1t is not so very long ago when,
to see through barn door, was con-
sidered quite an accomplishment and
when the fellow who could see through
a knot hole, was looked upon as some
pumpkins By the use of the tung-
state of calcium, Wizard Edison can
see the bones in mans arm and hand
directly with the naked eye. We can
conceive of nothing more wonderful
except what is inside of Edison's head.
We would give years subscription to
the NUGGET for a peep at that.

A number of Republicans discussing
presidential possibilities, in DeLamar
the other day, had this question pro-
pounded to them: "How would you
vote, were Mckinley the Republican
candidate and Senator Morgan, of Ala
bama, the Democratic nominee?" One
of them promptly answered, morgan
is one of the soundest aud truest Am
erican of them all. He was right on
the Hiwaiian question, right on Cuba,
right in regard to the Nicarauga canal,
sound on the Monroe doctrine and has
stuck to true principles of American
finances from the beginning. He is a
protectionest because true protecti on
to American industries can only be
brought about by the restoration of
silver to the position where it belonged
before European and American bank
ers robbed it of its legitimate func-
tions." Every Republican present
heartily endorsed these sentiments.

1t Comes Too Late.

A gentleman who, although a native
of Philadelphia, had, until recently,
lived for twenty years in England,
where he was regarded as British-born.
writes to the Record, apropos of the
present largely sentimental talk in ia
vor Of an Anglo-American alliance:
MY business has led me into all classes
of English society, from high to low;
and / must say that the consensus of
English opinion is anything but favor
able to America and the Americans.
In society I have heard Americans
called rogues and scoundrels., In the
lower walks of life, when an impossible
tale Is told the Englishman calls it an
American'-which is equivalent to say
ing that it is a lie! The average Eng
lishman believes that Americans are a
lot of sharpers; and it has often amused
me to hear tradesmen say so when they
were willing to trust mean American
that the feeling Of the majority of Eng
lishmen for Americans is one of sus-
picion."
1t doubtless Is true that we are partly
to blame for this state of British opin-
ion. If the grade of Americans who
comprise the bulk of transatlantic
tourists would cease to toady to the
titular arlstocracy of Albion and show
less appearance Of a desire to ''culti-
vate" the favor of foreigners not bet
ter than themselves; in other words, IL
the Yankee abroad could divest him
self more thoroughly of the awkward
idea that there Is some fundamental
difference between Americans and ev-
cry other class Of human beings, we
should probably soon grow in foreign
grace, and cease to be a target of for
eign quip and sarcasm. So long as we
are willing to make a show of our
selves, we ought not to wonder at the
snickering Of the spectators.
At the same time. there is less excuse
for a misunderstanding of Americans
by Englishmen than by any other Euro
pean people. This fact condemns Eng
lishmen as insular and narrow. That
the pride of maternity should be lost
sight of in clumsy attempt to msin-
terpret and belittle the offspring is not
pur fault, but Mother Englands shame.
1t is q serious bar to permanent re-

the clamor OF the disgruntled will not
divert the attention of tie intelligent and
sober-minded electors from the man thus
tested and tried, and supported by this
class. the finger of destiny points to Ezra
Ripple as the future mayor of the city OF
Scranton.
Ex-Mayor Ripple is charged with being
tainted with "Connellism." That is u Sc
rious crime indeed! Must candidates for
political office forswear friendly inter-
course with honorable and prosperous cti-
zens? Is 1t a crime to be on friendly
terms with successful business men? The
idea OF such puerile charge is pre-
posterous. Colonel Ripple is no pup
pet. His record proves him to be a man
of strong character, with a will OF his
own and capable Of independent action.
No clique will rule him, and should be
again called to preside over the destinies
of Scranton for another term, he will
never run the city in the interest of class
or party.

Editor of The Tribune.
Sir:-After Il lengthy war of words dur
ing which period both armies have been
making great preparation for the conflict
which is to decide "a question OF great i'm
portance on Tuesday next. the time is now
at hand when something besides talk
should be dcne. The winning army must
now prepare itself in order that they may
be able to enter the great battle without
any prejudice, ana record their vote with
out any hesitation, bearing in mind that
a warrior never hes!tated to do straight
forward shooting in battle, as he would
be only throwing away his chance, and
placing himself a target for the enemy.
But unfortunately there seem to be
wolves In the camp this time in sheep
skins, and they never appear but for de-
vouring purposes. Therefore watch the
wolves closer even than you watch the di-
rect enemy, as they are nearer to you.
and could play greater havoc among you
than the opposing army.
1t is the important duty of every Welsh
voter to consider two things before re-
cording his vote on Tuesday next
First, whether his conscience allows or
directs him to throw away his vote for
spiteful purposes without proving him
self at the same time to be unworthy of
the franchise.
Second, does he lift himself to higher
standard in the estimation of these hand
ful of revolters by throwing away his
vote, or is he, after careful consideration,
not placed on the same level as the par
rot, which simply repeats what 1t Is
told?
Now, my fellow-countrymen, forget all

so that recip,oc ocss trade relations be-
tween the United States and foreign
countries may be developed and extend
ed as far as practicable. Believing that
ships sailing under the flag of the Unit
ed States should carry our entire mari
time commerce, and in view of the in
jury thereto by subsidized foreign ship
ping. we declare in favor of judicious
system of subsidies as a means 10 the
complete restoration and extension OF
our merchant marine. The Nicaragua
Canal being essential to the commerce
of the United States and OF national i'm
portance, we favor it's construction and
operation under the control of the fed
eral government. Our natural and arti-
fetal water ways should be improved
and extended by the federal government
to the full needs of commerce, connect
ing the great lakes with the rivers of
the Mississippi valley and the Atlantic
seaboard."
1t would be difficult, with as many
words, to say more than is said in this
enunciation of sensible national policy.
Each of the subjects advocated is sure
so to impress itself upon public favor
as to render its adoption into law in
evitablc.

Cameron on Cuba.

At q time when most Of the public
actions of Senator Cameron subject him
to sharp censure, 1t is interesting. as u
matter of variety, to discover one thing
which elicits compliments. The WASH
ington Post, discussing the minority re-
port of the senate committee on foreign
affairs In relation to the situation of
affairs in cuba. pronounces it the best,
the most expeditions. and the most in
telligent solution of the problem that
has yet been offered. Mr. Cameron puts
aside the question of recognizing the
belligerency of the Cubans. for that. as
he very properly says, has been In fact
recognized by Spain already. What
Mr.. Cameron urges is that the president
shall 'interpose his friendly offices with
the Spanish government for the recog-
milton of the independence of Cuba
He sees nothing but fruitless delusion
for the Cubans, and unnecessary and
embarrassing complications for our
selves in a mere recognition of bellig-
of something that exists with or with
out our recognition-he asks for meas
ures that will lead to a cessation of
the barbarities which now prevail in
one of the fairest districts of the globe"
The Post summarizes this minority
report of Mr.. Cameron by noting that
it gives brief but succinct and graph
ic history of the disturbances in Cuba
during the past twenty-five years-a
history which cannot be truthfully de-
scribed except by saying that 1t is one
unbroken chronicle of cruelty, oppres-
sion, and infamous bad faith upon the
part of Spain. He shows by the testi-
mony of such eminent Spaniards as
Martinez de Campos and Emilio Cas-
telar; by the statements Of Spanish
newspapers, and by the concurrent tes-
timony of every envoy of the United
States who served at Madrid during
the period mentioned. that the Cubans
have been the victims of such persecu-
tion, such brutal tyranny. such spolia-
tion, rapne. deceit. and heartless
treachery as would have disgraced the
corrupt and bloody reign of Nero or
Commodus. Mr.. Cameron is right when
he declares that the existing situation
in Cuba Is Il reprOach to modern civil
ization and a menace to our own honor
and safety. He is right when he says
that we should offer to the Cubans,
struggling for their manhood and their
liberty, not an empty and delusive rec
ognition of belligerency, but an earnest
and determined intervention in behalf
of their Independence"
In the event of Cuba becoming a free
nation. we nominate Mr.. Cameron as
our minister to Havana.

record he has earned that compliment,

ems the earlier impression that this new
