Emphasizing the Victory.

1t was not sectional issue, and yet
the one section which went as a unit
for Mckinley had a right to go that
way and would have suffered most
keenly if it had mot done so. We mean
the eighteen states lying east of the
Mississippi and north of the Ohio and
Potomac rivers-the states whose in
dustries We're struck at when the Will
son bill was framed and whose loans
1t was proposed to return at fifty
solidly for Mckinley because the new
Democracy forced it to, in self de-
fense. 1t will remain politically solid
just as long as it's welfare Is menaced.
These states, as Walter Wellman
points out, contain four-sevenths of all
the population of the country, a great
majority Of the large cities, and five
sevenths of the national wealth. They
have 23S electoral votes, or fourteen
more than sufficient to elect. On the
basis Of the population, Jan. 1, this
year, each Of the 23S electoral votes in
this region represents 16S,OOO popula-
tion, while the 2O9 votes in the re-
mainder of the country represent only
14S,00O population each, thanks to the
number of petty states in the far west,
each with two electoral votes for their
senatorial representation. These
northern and eastern states have $4,000
popular votes to each elector. whereas
the states that Bryan carried have on
an average only $1,000 votes to an
electOr: II the voting strength of the
sections in the electoral college were
determined by population, the 18 fore
going solid Mckinley states would poll
252 instead of 23S votes, and remainder
Of the country only 1876 votes; II de-
termined by the actual number Of duly
qualified voters, they would muster

SO DIFFERENT.

Election is over; we know the fate
OF the fellow who posed as Il candidate.
That he knows 1t himself is plainly seen
BY his altered acts and change of mien.
No longer he sees you from afar,
Comes UP with the deadly twofer cigar,
To grasp Your hand with jovial Jokes;
Inquire of your health and all the folks
Now, when you meet him, perhaps he
stops.
But he's lost an interest in your crops,
The size of your hogs and the price Of hay,
But he makes excuse to get away.
He may shake your hand as you meet
next week
And a month afterward make out to
speak.
AS the days glide on In their silent flow,
Colder and colder the candidates grow,
And, when the snow begins to fly,
Thev never speak as they pass by.

MARKED ENTERPRISE.
From the Industrial News.

The Scranton Tribune exhibited marked
enterprise in receiving and printing the
election returns on Tuesday night. The
large stereopticon screen on Linden street
was used to display its bulletins and a
great crowd watched the returns with
eager interest. An edition was on the
streets at midnight giving the correct
general results at home and throughout
the country, and there was such de-
mand for the extra that the edition was
soon exhausted. At $3.50 Il second edition
was put out which gave enough returns
to indicate the clean sweep made by the
sound money hosts, while the regular ed.-
ton at 8 a. nr. contained as complete re-
turns from all over the United States as
could be obtained at that hour. The en-
terprise of The Tribune management is
commendable and ranks 1t among the
leading journals of the country.

AN EXCELLENT SELECTION.
From the Philadelphia Press.

II
william Connell, who has just been
elected to congress from the Lackawanna
district, seems to know how to do things.
He has nearly 5000 majority, about three
times as much as was ever before given
in the district. Mr.. Connelrs nomination
was not received with enthusiastic fa-
vor by the Hon. Joseph A. Scranton, who
since the organization Of the Lackawarna
district and until this year enjoyed a rho-
nopoly of the Republican nomination. but
it does not appear to have had any effect
on the vote. Mr. Connell is exceptionally
popular with the people Of Lackawanna,
who very generally have more or less
personal acquaintance with him. He is a
practical business man and will make
most excellent representative for the
district.

ability and successful campaigning, and

John Browns Daughter.

On rage eight of this issue appears
an entertaining article describing the
celebrated snake dance of the Moqui
Indians. Its author Major Horatio N.
Rust, spent twenty-five years as an
agent Of the United States government
among these curious people. who al
most alone among the surviving native
tribes on the North American continent
have resisted all the encroachments of
civilization and retained unchanged
their aboriginal customs.
Apart from the articles intrinsic in
tcrest as valuable bit Of chronological
literature, the present contribution is
notable by reason of the personality of
its author. Major Rust is entitled to
attention for other reasons than his long
dians. During the civil war he was a
courageous soldier. and prior to it he
was an intimate friend and adviser Of
Captain John Brown. Although not q
participant in the memorable raid on
Harpers Ferry, he rendered valuable
assistance to its distinguished sponsor,
ard when tragedy laid that patriotic
figure low it was Major Rust who inter-
ested himself in providing for the
martyrs family.
Largely through his instrumentality
the only surviving child Of John Brown
his daughter, Mrs. Annie Brown
Adams-was placed in possession of a
home in Southern California. This
home was recently destroyed by fire.
leaving the unfortunate woman shelter
less. The appeal which was lately made
for aid in restoring this home has not
yet brought the desired returns, and it
is hoped that this second public allus-
ion to the matter will prove more for
tunate. The debt Of the people to the
memory of John Brown cannot be more
appropriately discharged than in saw
ing his sole descendant from penury.

than that indicated by the division Of
the electoral vote. satisfactory as that
is to the friends of good government"
1t not only makes the victory look
larger now, but 1t throws into clearer
relief the absurdity of Bryan's notion
that he can repeat his struggle in 1900
and win on this years lines.

With Reference to Doctors.

Something over two weeks ago we re-
printed from an exchange an item re-
lating to the cure Of one Mrs. Bense-
man, of Minersville. Pa. by Christian
Science. so-called, adding thereto a few
comments suggested by the case We
were subsequently favored by a private
letter from an eminent resident Of
Minersville. in which he not only con-
firms the statement that this lady was
cured by faith, as claimed, but proceeds
in the following vigorous fashion to
carry the war into the enemy's country:
1T probably has not occurred to you to
ask why there were 43 deaths out of 1893
cases of diphtheria treated by the regu-
lar physicians in your city from Jan.
to Sept. /, 1895 (see Scranton board of
health records). We could furnish you
with testimony showing that over GO
by Christian scientists in Scranton dur
ing the same period, with but one fatal
termination"
We must confess that this is news to
us, as we imagine it will be to the pub
lie; and we cannot restrain some hint
of incredulity in the premises. Certain
1t is that we should like to be furnished
with the promised testimony, not only
for our individual satisfaction but as a
matter of valuable public information.
If it is true that Christian science can
keep the death rate OF diphtheria down
to one fatality in 80 cases while the best
that medical science can do Is to estab-
lish ratio of one in three, 1T clearly Is
a matter which calls for the widest pub
licity and the most eager and vigilant
investigation. We offer our columns
freely for the publication of any real
testimony on this point which our
Minersville correspondent or any who
thinks with him may be prepared to
submit in evidence.
In this connection we acknowledge the
receipt from some source of an interest
ing pamphlet arraigning the science OF
medicine as monumental fraud, and
citing in support of that arraignment
from 100 to 200 opinions by eminent phy-
sicians as to the spurious character Of
many of the medical profession's claims.
These citations are marshalled with
great skill and their cumulous force is
considerable. 1t takes a stout layman
to read with unshaken confidence the
many sighting and contemptuous re-
marks which the chieftains in the medi-
cal profession themselves have let fall
about their own vocation. But after all,
whether our doctors be to some ex-
tent humbugs or not, they are the only
recourse which we have, and 1t will not
make for our welfare to rob ourselves
of confidence in their ability and skill,
Unless our Christian science friend can
show by straightforward and endurable
evidence how we can safely spare them.
the doctors will continue to stand in an
indispensable relation toward the COM
munity, and little would be gained by
wantOnly clipping their wings.
