an adherence TO principles which Is al
| ways willing to accept the fair issue OF
an open contest for the responsibilities
| of party leadership; and having made
a good stiff fight for the persons of IT'S
| choice, to say to the victors: Nv e
/ fought you like men at the party pri-
| maries; but like men wiii we support
you until the closing of the polls"
In the present case such a turning in
| is rendered pleasant and honorable Ly
| reason of the fact that the ticket which
carried the party primaries is pre-
| eminently ticket fit also to succeed at
| the polls. At its head. in the person of
Colonel Ripple, stands u manly, robust.
generous hearted man. whose capabili-
ties in the mayoralty have already re-
ceived successful demonstration. The
Republican must be rare indeed who
would on any grounds hesitate to
recommend to those with whom he
comes in contact Colonel Ripples cleo
ton as mayor. Conspicuous fitness,
too, is true of Daniel Williams, the Re-
DuDllCdH city
A man of lifelong familiarity with the
city, business man who stands second
to none for probity and fair-dealinS
and public servant who as director
ment of satisfactory and honorable SER
vice, Mr. Williams. in his present candi-
dacy, appeals not simply to members
of his own political household, not one
discredit, but also to the whole body
OF voters, regardless of party lines.
But these two names by no means ex-
haust the Republican tickets strength.
For the Office of controller is presented
man who, during three years tenure
of that position, has conducted himself
with uniform uprightness, efficiency
and courage. 1t makes no difference
what ones party is, or how one lines up
during factional fights-the man who
is fair-minded and candid must frankly
admit that Fred J. Widmayer has thor
oughly deserved q reelection. Since it
trollers one denomination apiece. no oc-
cupant of that office has better deserved
the compliment than Mr.. Widmayer,
nor has another ever presented better
recommendations for general indorse-
ment at the polls. Lastly, the ticket is
strong in its nominees for assessors-in
Mr.. Fowler, an alert young man who
has had six years practical familiarity
with the duties of the office: in Mr.
Fickus, an honest and sturdy German
American, and in Mr. Dawson. a popu-
lar representative of the Celtic race.
Whether viewed from a party stand
point or i'm the light Of individual merit,
the gentlemen whose names adorn the
Republican city ticket invite unusual
confidence. They clearly have right
to expect the active support of all men,
bers of their own party; and it will be
great surprise if they do not also re-
ceive the suffrages of many men who,
in state and national contests, are in
the habit of voting with one or another
of the other parties.

EX.SECRETARY MOBILES ADVICE.
From the Pittsburg Times.

From the Pittsburg Times.
Young man, be a broad, true, fervent
patriot no matter what else you may
wish to be, and you will be a success in
the best sense of the word Patriotism Is
the keynote to the charcter of a man.
We need manly manhood in our young
men today, and | would wish every young
man to be a patriot first, last and all the
time. The love of the Stars and Stripes Is
the love that saves the country. The
young man has a right to believe that ours
Is the greatest and grandest country on
earth. Let him cherish the spirit that
VIII fight and die for his flag. What a
lot of bosh that is in the letter issued by
Professor Arthur NJ. Wheeler. of Yale. l
am son of Old ELI, where patriots are
trained, and | know he does not voice
the sentiment of old Yale in repudiatng
the Monroe doctrine. What right has
he to criticize Americas nobleman, Henry
Clay, as man who talked like an angel
and acted like buccaneer with hemor-
rhages of eloquence" That is not the
sentiment that was taught to the boys OF
the blue in my day. The country de-
mands men who will stand by her when
she needs them. We have enough weak
linss without adding to the number by in
temperate expressions. a strong, vigor-
Gus policy. backed by the solid sentiment
or patriotism In every manly heart
Is the course for our own glorious coun-
try.

1t Does Them Credit. -.

A correspondent of the Washington
Post, named A. Milo Bennett. relates
the following sample illustrating the
cruelty of Spanish rule in Cuba:
Not long ago Patti sang n song in Ha-
vana containing very liberal sentiments.
and these were loudly applauded. In Cuba
nearly all editors and government officials
are Spaniards. In commenting on this
outbreak a Spanish editor, named Caste
non, tried to make out that the audience
was composed of ruffians, and he stated
that there wasn't Il single lady present.
This incensed the Cubans whose wives
were in attendance, and young man
named Orosco. whose sister was in the
audience, challenged and killed Castenon.
This greatly enraged the Spaniards at the
time, and shortly after one of them start
ed a report that CastenOn's grave had been
desecrated by Cuban students. Accord
ingly $50 sons of the weaithiest Cuban
families were arrested and thrown into
prison. They were given a military trial
and speedily condemned TO death. Through
intercession the verdict was changed. and
twelve were drawn by lot from the whole
number and executed with great cruelty. A
year or so after Castenon's remains We're
discovered intact. When this fact became
known monument, costing $6o,OOO was
erected over these martyred boys by pub
lie subscription, and it stands today as a
double monument to Spanish cruelty and
to commemorate the heroic students who
fought among themselves for the honor OF
dying.
1t may be that some of the officials
of the Cuban patriots are naturalized
American citizens. Just as some of the
Revolutionary fathers We're French
men and Polanders. In that case the
circumstance of their devotion to liber-
ty does credit to their Americanism.

A Most Scusihlo Nrtic1e

From the Pottsville Chronicle
In the Scranton Tribune of Thursday
there appeared a most sensible article on
patronizing home industries. The writer
signs his name-Philip j. Thomas-to the
article and throws out some valuable
suggestions to those contemplating build
ing or other work wherein local trades
men may find employment He declares
that there are Scranton men walking the
streets hunting for work. while outsiders
are brought there and are busy in yarj-
Gus avocations. What Is true of Scranton
is true of other cities, and one of the sur
est ways of overcoming this is for every
one to patronize home industries.
