Concerning the morally sure course OF
the congress elected with William Nc
Kinley and Of Mckinley himself as presi-

First, that the American people have
no hostility to any other group Of the
human family: but.
Secondly, the first law Of economics Is
self preservation. Therefore,
Thirdly, William Mckinley. supported
by an undoubtedly Republican federal
legislature. will abolish the deficit In the

have agreed that revenue for the ordi-
nary expenditures Of the government
should be procured, namely, by duties on
imports.
Fourthly, 1t will be the policy of Presi-
dent Mckinley not only thus permanent
ly to put an end to treasury deficits, but
also at the same time to accomplish an
other equally necessary object, namely.
to put an end to invasion Of the gold re-

of competition with the wages of Euro
pean labor, and to this extent and no fur

resuscitation of reciprocity. The inter-
ests of American trade, not Of parties OF
of sections, will be alone considered in 4

law.
President Mckinley and the congress

From the Tirles-Eeraid.
The function of a newspaper primarily Is
20 collect, digest and publish news-to
present with approximate fidelity an epi-
tome of what the world is doing, localiy
and universally. every day. Honest re-
porting is the first essential of an honc3t
newspaper. A reporter ought to be a
phonograph. With the literal accuracy OF
that machine reports Of conventions and
all public assemblies that concern public
welfare should be presented In the news
columns OF an honest newspaper.
1t is not the right or the duty or the
privilege of an honest newspaper to doe
tor" reports. The great intelligent mass
of 4 community wants to know exactly
what public movements mean; who lead
them, who are led in them, what their
lcgic is and where they are going; at WI 1t
end ultimately they may be expected to
arrive.
The opinions of Il newspaper are dis
tinct from its news. News Is public prop
erty. That belongs to the public. The
opinions of a newspaper are its own.

The WattersOn Idea.

The prevailing note in Colonel Wat
terson's speech in London the other
night was not necessarily martial, as
some seem to infer. Although he pro-
claims himself lingo, neither he nor
any other lingo has wish for precipi-
tate war. OF the public men Of this
generation whose memories reach back
with distinctness to the period of cur
last unpleasantness, Colonel Watterson
is probably in a position to keep pace
with any other American in realizing
the awful suffering and loss Of war,
and therefore in wishing to postpone as
long as may be without violence to
manhood the day of the next resort to
arms.
Yet not always by the cry Of "peace!"
"peace!" is real peace to be preserved.
That thought at which Colonel Wat
terson revolted in his character.stically
interesting manner was not at all the
idea that peace is to be despised. but
that 1t Is to be won from England for
America by policy OF oratorial weep
ing and sobbing over the fact Of a
mutual kinship to which we have lately
fallen into the humiliating error Of
doing all the pointing. The recent
speeches Of Ambassador Bayard. If
they have exalted one theme above
another. have put uppermost the
thought that the common legacy Of the
English speaking race is such an
ennobling one that the dear people of
the mother country ought from very
PHYS sake to refrain from allowing the
waywardness of the North American
offspring to provoke her to blows. For
this apologetic and lachrymose theory
Colonel Watterson substitutes the more
rational proposition that if English
men have history Americans have
one also. and that n good help to
keeping the peace between them is for
both branches OF the Anefo-Saxon
race to bear in mind that when II
comes to fighting the other Is no

THE DEATH DEALING WIRE
From the Times-Iierall.

From the Times-Herald.
Three more deaths from overhead cleo
tric wires are reported The slaughter
goes on without interruption. Every day
increases the grim list and 1t Is hardly
possible to pick W newspaper without
being confronted by a brief account Of the
horrible death of some unfortunate citizen
by shock from a broken electric light or
trolley wire. Meanwhile the councilman
discuss ordinances for muG2ling dogs, al
though the number of deaths from rabies
is insignificant compared with the NOR
tality from the wires.
In the present advanced state of me-
chanical construction there is no excuse
for maintaining overhead wires carrying
q sufficient current to kill man. They
are an offense to the sight, an .AJury to
property and a constant menace to human
life. Down with them! 1hey are better
underground than the innocent people
whom they destroy.

The revival of American patriotism
manifested by the spread OF hereditary
patriotic societies should have occurred
long ago, but even at this late day it Is to
be encouraged, not criticised or con-
demned. There will be brainless snobs
in the membership who will vainly consi1-
er themselves better or more fortunate
then their nelghbors, but there have been
brainless snobs in all generations, and
they would be no less numerous If patri-
otic societies were unknown. A revival
of patriotism should permeate our whole
body polite and be g.ren intelligent and
effective expression in our whole system
OF education, and any agency that car
or will contribute to this desirable anL
necessary end is to be encouraged. Thee

The testimony in support of the con-
tentton that the abandonment Of the
reciprocity arrangements negotiated un-
der the Mckinley act of 1890 resulted In
irreparable loss to our commercial in

Welcome to the Booths.

Insofar as the representative senti-
ment Of Christian Scranton can mani
fest itself today, it should make plain
it's cordial sympathy with the platform
sndpurposes of Mr.. and Mrs Ballington
Booth. They come not as strangers
nor as aliens exulting in their allie
glance to another flag. but as Ameri-
cans proud of the institutions OF their
adopted land and determined that In
the ministrations which they have been
called to superintend love Of God and
fellowship with man shall not be for
chilly divorced from love Of country
and pride in its civic significance.
That form of religious activity which
is conducted upon a platform Of hos
tility to the Stars and Stripes can ex-
pect small favor among patriotic
Americans. That system of philan-
thropic organization which declares
that the flag of this republic must not
be displayed in American barracks nor
saluted in American parades need hope
for no genuine cooperation in the
United States Nor is it feasible that
the control Of an institution relying
for its maintenance upon American
support should be vested absolutely In
foreign hands out of joint with Ameri-
can ideas and openly contemptuous Of
American principles. In palmer words,
SO long as the Salvation Army remains
established upon the repressive lines
laid down for it's government by COM
mander-in-chief whom sight Of our
national emblem moves to demonstra-
tions of wrath, that long will the dis
eliminating judgment of gooa Ameri-
caIs view it's workings with diminish
ed esteem and feel fully justified In
transferring their active cooperation
th the broader organization known as
the American Volunteers.
American hospitality is big and warm,
1t gladly welcomes the deserving from
every land and extends to such the
amplest measure OF It's fellowship and
esteem. But it does not propose that
it's generosity shall be abused nor its
free right OF asylum repaia by kicks
and cuffs. The foreigner who wishes
to work among us must become one of
us: the religious organization which
desires to thrive under the shelter Of
free institutions must put next 70 its
religious creed the watchword: "Ameri-
car patriotism" IT is because Mr.. and
Mrs. Ballington Booth have complied
with this condition when others near
OF kin to them have failed that they
enjoy today the favor which will be
equally quick to so out 20 all who fol-
low their example

Court, subject to the nomination
by the Republican party. Every

they do they know about as good
man as is in the Republican
party. When the time comes in
the history of the politics of this
county that Il Republican takes
charge of the Office of the clerk OF
our county court, we trust that
that Republican will be Dan
Wright. The truth is that he has
nearly all the symptoms Of a Dem
oc-at and what pity it is that he
is not one.-Wayne News.
The above is quite compli-

ever.
