A GREAT STRATEGIST.
lie Was willing TO Fight. Bleed and Die
for Ills Country

A fiery-looking party with his hand
stuck into the bosom of his coat and his
mustachios bristling like the angry fore
front of war walked into The Star office
the other morning and approached the
editor of the crank department..
Excuse me, SIR" he said, with a
sweeping bow. but may I speak with
you moment on a matter of import
ance?"
The editor wondered whether it was
going to be a. dime or a quarter, but
told the visitor to proceed.
Il want to publish card in your
paper. sir, but before doing so 1 desire
to obtain a few facts relative thereto"
go on with your rat-killing," said the
editor, with pleasing and easy famil-
iarity.
The visitor frowned slightly, but went
on.
II desire to ask, sir" he said, "if
there is any probability Of war between
the United States and Great Britain"
None in the least"
"Nor any with Spain?"
still less.'
do you know of any other country
We may have trouble with?"
None"
'"And you would say that we shall
nave peTlOu OF absolute peace fOr the
next ten years?"
"I'll bet my salary IN 1t in advance
for that time"
Then If you will be SO kind I would
be pleased to have you publish this
article in your valuable journal over
my signature, SIR" and the visitor ex-
tended formidable looking document,
tied with red tape, toward the editor

tor. taking 1t gingerly.
The visitor Strengthened himself up
proudly.
"1t is an appeal. sir, to the patriots of
this great and glorious republic, sir,

ever cost of blood and treasure, sir and
IN that article announce that l desire
10 enlist thousand men at once who

Two Hundred DO.tars subscribed CS
Robert ". Johnson.
The Carbondale Cycle club have re-
ceived u big encouragement In their
work for cinder path between Scran-
ton and Crystal Lake and the scheme
now begins to materialize. What has
given the boys so much encouragement
came yesterday in the shape of cheek
for two hundred dollars which was sub
scribed by Robert w. Johnson, of New
Brunswick. N. j. Mr.. johnson Is one
of the leading members of the Crystal
Lake Park association and thinks the
path will do much toward making the
lake a popular resort.
At the meeting to be held on Friday
evening, more definite plans will be en-
tered into. The path, if built. will prob
ably run along the bank of the creek
which is the outlet Of the lake. This
would make the grade very slight, so
that no difficulty would be experienced
by riders.

TO SWEEP THE STREET.
Bids to bo Sent BY the Mitchell Hose
Company.

The streets at this period Of the year
are extremely dirty and the warm
weather of the past few days has dried
the mud up so that the air is now full
of flying dust, making 1t very disagree
able to persons.
This matter should receive the atten-
tion of the councils at once, and ar
rangements should be made by which
the sprinkling and sweeping could COM
mence. There will probably be some
competition this year as to who shall
get the contract for sweeping. Among
others who have been looking into the
matter are members of the Mitchell hose
company and they will probably put In
bid for the work. Their street sprink-
ling venture turned out SO well that
they are thinking seriously Of trying
for all the street cleaning.

THE HAWAIIAN QUESTION.
Speculation as to the Probable Atti-
tude OF the New Administrations.

Speculation as to the Probable Atti-
tude of the New Administrations.
There is considerable speculation among
politicians as TO the probable attitude of
the new administration, when organized,
toward the Hawaiian question. There is
general concurrence among republicans of
prominence in the idea that Maj. Mckinley
will advocate and the Congress support
plan which will bring Hawaii into closer
political relations with the United States.
but there is question whether the project
will take the shape of absolute annexation
or less radical form of suzerainty.
The republican platform, as adopted at
the st. Louis convention, referred to the
Hawaiian question as follows: THE Ha-
Waian Islands should be controlled by the
United States and no foreign power should
be permitted to interfere with them" Some
republicans construe the phrase "con-
trolled by the United States to mean an
nexation outright as the only sensible and
feasible plan of control.
In this connection, there Is q report cur
rent to the effect that 1t is Maj. McKin-
leys purpose to urge the immediate an
nexation of Hawaii In his first message to
Congress. This report comes in round
about way, and gives Mr.. Joseph Manley
of Maine as the authority for Mai. NC
kinley's alleged intention. The story is
that Mr.. German D. Gilman of Boston re-
ceived letter from resident of Hawaii
quoting the contents of a letter from an
Augusta, Me-, friend who said Mr. Manley
had told him that the annexation plan was
matured and already decided upon by Mai.
Mckinley.
