JENNIE JUNE TALKS.
The Author Tells of the Necessity Of
Woman Suffrage.

Cleveland, July 23.-Nrs. J. G. Crow
ley, president of the SorOsis of New
York city, a woman who has gained a
national reputation by writing under
the nom de plume of Jennie June, ="
is at the HOllenden.
Mrs Crowley is an elderly woman
with kind tone and an address quite
pleasing. When seen she talked pleas
antly about women and the future and
past of her sex, touching on the QueS-
ton of suffrage and politics
Yes" she said, 4 confess that be-
heve that the ranks of suffrage have
been very largely reinforced in the
east by the club women. The feeling
is growing there and think that the
women will ultimately have the same
political privileges that the women Of
.'The women of the east must be
rather pleased with the Democratic
platform, inasmuch as it comedies the
right of suffrage, are they not?" was
asked.
well, to tell the truth, do not think
that many people take much stock in
platform of the Democratic party but
is anarchistic, Popuiistic and I do not
know what is in its makeup
The women of the west who are the
anarchists in the case, according to
your idea, have very liberal suffrage,
have they not?"
Yes, the women of the west have
suffrage and it has succeeded very
we'll I must confess that cannot see
how any man who has any sense of
justice can deny suffrage for women
and, in fact, I cannot see why he
should not demand that the women be
given it and compelled to embrace the
opportunity. It is the same old strug-
gle which has gone on for centuries.
Men have fought for everything that
they have and the women have given
up with very little resistance. While
the women in the western states have
very liberal suffrage, I do not think

becomes dangerous to man and when
it becomes powerful.
Man has always controlled the mill

aggrandizement. He has fought for

THE BANKERS APPEAL.
New York Einanciers Adopt Strong
Gold Stan dard Resolutions.

Niagara Falls. n. Y, July 23.-The
following resolutions were adopted
yesterday by the New York State
Bankers Convention;
We declare that the bankers of this
state have no selfish or class interest
in the establishment of any particular
kind of money as currency, nor are we
benefited as a class by the mainten-
nance of one metal as the standard, to

banking institutions of the state of
New York are indebted to the public
at large in the form of deposits, sub
ject to check, in the sum of 1888, Co.,
600, while the public is indebted to US
in the forms of loans and discounts in
the sum of 81 POI 900, 900.
Being debtors in this very large
amount, with our payables largely ex-
ceediEE our receivables, we believe the
part of wisdom and the part of honor
for the United States is to maintain
the present gold standard of value.
We believe it would be criminal folly
to break away from the most advanced
and civilized nations to join China and
Mexico upon the silver basis.
In all countries where the gold stan

where the silver standard prevails

Middle Readers First Ask Him to
Preside Then Change to Campion.
St. Louis, July 23.-The middle of the
road men through their steering COM
rnittee took action last night which will
probably have a very important effect
on the convention.
Early in the evening they selected
Ignati Donnelly for their candidate
for permanent chairman and sent
committee to notify him of his selec-
ton. Mr.. Donnelly accepted and it was
given out. Later the steering commit
tee held another meeting and selected
J. E Campion of Maine as their can
didate for permanent chairman. The
committee realized it was in a very
awkward position, having notified Don
nelly and secured his acceptance, but
the reasons given for substituting Cam
pion are that Minnesota's delegation
and the delegations which the steering
committee represented, made a great
protest against DonneIly's selection.
many declaring they would not vote for
him.
It was also stated by members of the
committee that DOnnelly was possible
candidate for president and ought not
to be presented for permanent chair
man. It was also stated that his selec-
ton was very obnoxious to the anti
Catholic element as it was believed he
was a Catholic. Many Of the leaders
of the middle Of the road men think a
great mistake has been made and that
the action of the committee will cost
the middle of the road men many
votes in the convention.

New York, July 23-Leon Hartman of
Dubuque, Ia, is a widower, the father
of nine sturdy boys, and is worth $40,
600. He is also a big-hearted man, and
yesterday he adopted nine fatherless

agreed to give their mother home.
The mother is a widow Of his brother,

Ellis Island yesterday, having crossed
the ocean from Rotterdam on the Meth

The first person she met was her broth
er-in-Iaw, who had come all the way
from Iowa to greet her. The children,
ranging in age from 3 to 10 years. are
all bright-eyed, rosy checked girls, and
they so completely won Mr.. Hartman's
heart that he at once offered to adopt
them.
The mother was willing and so were
the Ellis Island officials, and the papers
were at once drawn up and signed by
the interested parties Then Mr.. Hart

panied by their mother, left Ellis IS

likely when Dubuque is reached she
will marry her brother-in-laW.

MRS. COUGAR AT WORK.
Trying to Get Pops and Silverites to
Indorse Prohibition.

St. Louis, July 29.-Mrs. Helen NJ
Cougar, the noted Prohibition lecturer
and reformer. is mingling with the del.
egates Of both conventions, doing mis-
sionary work. She wants prohibition
in the plank of all platforms and would
like to see equal suffrage also.
She says, however, that she has more
hopes Of equal suffrage than of prohibit
ton, and that the POpulists are nearly
all with her on that score.
Asked as to what she thought would
be the outcome of the POpulist cOnven-
ton, Mrs. Cougar said: IF it does its
duty it will unequivocally endorse Mr..
Bryan for president.
Il can't conceive how men protesting
to be reformers and devoted to such
vital issue as free silver can hesitate

leading Populists in the northwestern

Crete, where he formerly lived. While
there he met farmer who claims to
be cousin of Mckinley This man s
name is Mckinley, and he says he can
not indorse a gold platform, even if his
cousin is the candidate on that ticket
He says further that he has just fin

will get cents for them. Out of this
he must pay ~ cents for having them
threshed, and that with 55A cent oats

may bring some relief from present
conditions.

St.Louis, July 23.-Another letter from
Bryan turned up yesterday. 1t was adj

to manufacture sentiment for the nOmi-
nation of Bryan. In explaining the
letter, Judge Allen said it was in reply
to one sent by him to Bryan, in which
he gave his views in detail. Judge
Allen wrote that he believed in a grad

in public utilities. Bryan in reply
wrote that he conceded in Judge

A CREDIT TO THE CITY.

From the CarbOndale Herald
The hustling metropolis of the anthra-
cite coal fields has many things of which
1t can be justly proud, but none of its insti-
tutions reflect more credit on the city Of
Scranton than does its board Of trade. 1t
il justly celebrated throughout the country
for its successful methods in building up
the industries of the city. 1t never tires in
the work and no sooner Is one project ac-
complished than another Is under way
Indeed, it is never content with doing one
thing at a time but generally has two or
three important matters in hand at the
same time. 1t Is now announced that in a
short time five new Industries will be es-
Ia blished at Scranton through the efforts
of the board of trade. The secret of the
success Of this body Is not alone in its or
ganization or the personality of its officers.
but it lies in the fact that it is heartily
supported by the people of Scranton. both
by moral and financial aid. 1t Is the very
embodiment of the Scranton spirit, which
Is progress. 1t is a representative Scran-
ton body Of which Scranton can be proud.

The Common Sense Of II.

Calm reflection Is doing its work
among many of the recent supporters Of
the unsuccessful Republican ticket in
this city. Disappointment at defeat Is
only natural; among honest champions
it is proof Of sincerity. No true Re-
publican on the side which won in Tues
days convention will care to begrudge
to those who lost this entirely human
symptom of their proper enthusiasm,
or will seek to aggravate it.
But personal disappointment affords
no excuse for party treachery. II de-
feat in convention be accepted as JUS
tification for desertion at the polls, then
political parties would soon cease to
exist. and in their place we should have
simply guerilla politics and chaos. Poll
ties is essentially game of give and
take. The man who cannot accept both
sides of the pastime will eventually find
himself regarded as not much of man.
we believe, from men laboring under
excitement. They expected to win In
stead, they lost. But that will not af-
ford a sufficient basis for asking the
party rank and file to follow them into
independent paths. Common sense
should be listened to in this affair." The
utterance of wholesale accusations un-
supported by proof should be ignored.
n little reason is all that is required to
adjust the whole matter.

Put Up or Shut Up.

Within the past few days there mas
been more or less general talk about
fraud at the recent Republican primar-
les. 1t is true that these vague accusa-
tions have emanated mainly from rec
ognized party wreckers, whose politlcal
character is such as to throw discredit
upon anything which they may say.
Prominent among them Is the editor or
the Scranton Republican, to whom
political debauchery has been life
pursuit. and whose present spasm of
lofty morality properly incites the
broadest derision wherever his record Is
known.
Nevertheless it is proper that these
charges should be put into legal form
and brought before the courts for ac-
tion. In their present form they mean
nothing. Let them, therefore. be made
specific. Only in this way can they
command attention and be sifted to the
bottom. The men who are engaged in
this promiscuous arraignment owe 1t
to themselves. to the party and to the
community to formulate their alleged
knowledge of corrupt practices in such
a way that they can be met in detail
before recognized and open tribunal
of justice. Anybody can indulge in
generalties. Anybody can cry mad
dog" But such talk is not evidence;
until sustained by adequate evidence
1t Is only slander.
The Tribune has not hitherto taken
notice of these diaphanous insinuations
out Of respect to the great mass of the
party rank-andiile, whom 1t believes
to be incorruptible and above suspicion;
and in Difference to the great majority
of vigilance committeeman, whom it
has every reason to believe are upright
and law-abiding men, to whom crook
edness in any form is utterly odious and
abhorrent. But In justice to the party
and to the party workers whose char
acter for honor and fairness is thus
brought into question, we must now
call for the evidence. If it shall be
Forthcoming. let those who are guilty
be singled out from those who are in
nocent; in other words, let there be a

The Verdict of One Who Knows.

At the recent meeting of the Ameri-
can Historical society in Washington
an exceedingly thoughtful and inter-
esting paper was read by Senator Hoar
upon Popular Discomfort with Repre-
sentative Government. Some Of the
striking points in that paper are ap-
pended: "The flame of patriotism new
er burned brighter in the breasts of our
people than 1t does today" said Sena-
tor Hoar. Not alone does it burn
bright I'm the native born, but it has
spread itself to those who have come
to our shores and breathed our free air.
Yet, when l consider the tone of the
press, Of men of letters, and of some
writers of history when they describe
her, 1 am sometimes astonished that
any American youth can love his coun-
try at ALL The newspapers are largely
the organs of one or another political
party. They represent the party to
which they are opposed, and especially
the leaders, as base selfish and intrigu-
ing. If these political organizations ne
base, and If the leaders are base and
mean, then are the American people,
base and mean. We are disturbed by
foreign criticism, by the contemptuous
utterances Of the Saturday Review and
London Times. Is 1t strange that the
papers of the foreign countries should
adopt the opinions that are constantly
uttered by the metropolitan press? Is
there any offense of this sort i'm Lon
don which cannot be matched in New
York;" e... 49,, !.
Continuing he said:
There are many fault-finders. men who
can see no good in anything and always
look for something evil. If the critical
and fault-finding temper be not justified
by the truth its effects must be infinitely
mischievOus and pestilent. There are two
classes of complaints which make a de-
cided impression on good men. First, the
complaint Of what is called Party spirit"
and, second, the impotence and the slow
ness, flckleness, and the inefficiency OF
legislative bodies. The man who cOnscien-
tiously acts with Is party Is as truly inde-
pendent in politics as the man who, ac-
cording to Lord Dundreary's pfoverb,

renders his opinion to that of the organi-
zation to which he belongs, honestly be-
1ieving that he can best serve the public
welfare in that manner, Is doing right.
