Last Nights Meeting.

~, The one predominant fault with the
concluding Republican demonstration
of the local campaign last evening was
the insufficiency of the f'rothinSham
theater to accommodate the multitude
which clamored for admission. The
occasion was one which gave poignancy
to the regret that Scranton has not yet
constructed that needed new armory.
From every point of view the meeting
was q magnificent success. Every
speaker, from the eloquent and con-
vincing governor of the commonwealth
to the argumentative and philosophical
auditor general. repaid his enthusiastic
greeting with oratory forceful, bril-
liant and to the point. The substance
of these addresses is reported on an
other page and can therefore be read
at leisure by those who last evening
were unable to gain entrance. Our
only regret In this connection Is that
in the process of,reduction from spoken
words to impassive type much of the
force and fire and effectiveness of the
speeches will necessarily be lost.
While the rally of last evening
brought the speaking features of the
present canvass to a close, so far as
the central portion of the city is con-
cerned, there remains to be accom-
plshed the systematic organization of
election day helpers which will insure
TO the cause at stake the vote of every
SllpnOrfpr In this nprpSs1rv detail
work every earnest Republican and
every Democrat out of sympathy with
the present dominant forces of the
Popocratic party should feel called up
on to cooperate.
The way to spike the free silver
movement in Lackawanna county Is
to vote against it all along the line.

The formal welcome accorded last
evening to Rev. DR.. Joseph X. Dixon,
the new pastor Of the Penn Avenue
Baptist church, was participated in by
many of our leading citizens, but it is
heartily concurred in by thousands who
were not present in person. During his
brief residence among US Rev. DR.. Dix
on has already established himself
among the leaders in Scranton's re-
ligious thought and life-a pastor vrile,
fearless and outspoken, a true teacher
of spirituality and morals. That his
pastorate may be attended with in
creasing success is the wish of all who
have at heart the welfare Of this COM
munity.

A MAN OF THE PEOPL E..
From the Moscow Sun,

FROM the MOSCOW Sun.
The voter has a right to ask, what has
this man or that man done that should
vote for him." After he has given this
question mature consideration he should
60 to his polling place and cast his vote
for the man who Is of the greatest benefit
to the masses. While the fight Is going
on between the Mckinley and Bryan
hosts. sight should not be lost of the con-
gressional ticket. 1t has been said, and
truthfully so, that man must be of the
common people to know the wants Of the
common people, and 1t can also be as
truthfully said that in William Connell,
candidate for congress, the people can
find such a man.
Born In as humble surroundings as most
OF our readers, he went to work in the
depths Of the mine early in life. With the
aid of helpful mate he saved some Of
his small earnings for another day. As
time passed he found place to invest his
little mite judiciously, probably an invest
ment that the average miner would spurn
today. The investment proved profitable,
and from that time to the present William
Connell has been investing his money in
creating industries to give employment to
the common people, until he is now one
Of the largest individual employers in
Northeastern Pennsylvania.
While Mr.. Connell is reported to be
wealthy, still II he had not made his first
investment he might be now working in
or about the mines, so 1t Is patent that
william Connell is a man Of the common
people. What is more, Mr.. Connelrs ev-
cry day life Is that Of the common man.
He meets the miner or laborer with the
same courtesy as he would the most aris-
tocratic scion Of wealth. Instead Of ming
H. -
York. he can be found on the streets Of
Scranton at all seasons, exchanging cour-
tesies with the people and advancing some
business enterprise to help them obtain
the necessaries Of life. Such a man in
Scranton ought to be encouraged and Is
entitled not only to the Republican vote
but to the entire vote of the county.

What Hage.earnefs
ShodId Remember

That the dollar which Mr.. Bryan says
buys too much is the same dollar which
Is now being paid to American laboring-
men who were lucky enough not to be
thrown out of their jobs by the WILSON,
German tariff law.
That the dollar which Mr.. Bryan says
is too good to be paid to American Ia
Dor is part of the same currency system
that was in use in 1892 when every man
had job and when the United States
reached the hish-water mark Of industrial
prosperity.
That Mr.. Bryan was one OF the men In
the iifty-thrd congress who defended
"cheapncss' as the great end to be sought
in our economic legislation. That the
principal ground of his attack upon the
Mckinley tariff law was the fallacious
claim that 1t had tendency to Increase
the selling prices of commodities.
That he has now reversed his policy to
accommodate the silver syndicate and de-
c!ares that things "are too cheap"--that
the dollar we have buys too many COM
modities.
That Mr.. Bryan has utterly failed TO
show in any OF his speeches how the
cheap dollar" for which he clamcrs will
benefit labor.
That the history Of the cheap dollar in
this and in other countries shows that
it degrades and impoverishes labor.
That from 1860 to 1866 a i9i4-oe paper
dollar raised the prices of the necessaries
of life llG per cent, hut raised wages only
~ per cent. Notwithstanding the fact that
hundreds of thousands of mechanics ana
laborers were called from the channels
of industry to fight for the flag.
That the Imitation Of our currency with
cheap money during this period reduced
the purchasing power of all wages sc per
cent, compared with the gold wages Ct
1860.
That in Mexico where the currency is
on silver basis, the average wages range
from 1913 to % cents day in tho cities
and on the plantations, while the average
compensation for skilled labor is but SO
cents q day.
That in the free silver country of Mexico
the rich are very rich. while the wage
earners are cursed with an excessive pow
erty that permits of no social or educa-
tional development.
That in free silver Mexico the prices OF
what are deemed in America common
necessities are so high and wages are SO
low that coffee and butter and beef are
never seen on the tables OF the wage-earn-
ers, their principal food being bread
made from a rough ground corn.
That under the gold standard and
protective tariff wages in this country in
creased 2S per cent. from 1870 to 1890 and
their purchasing power increased 81 per
cent.
That the free coinage of the silver
miners bullion at l6 to would give no
idle laborer a job and hence would not
enlarge the market for the farmers prod
ucts.
That the present currency controversy
would not have been precipitated IL the

Make Victory Sure.

Some desperate work Is being done
by the Democrats to capture control of
the commissioners office. The fight at
the last minute is becoming fierce. Re-
publcans are urged to stand by their
party. There is danger in concessions
to the opposition. The one safe plan is
to refuse to cut the regular ticket.
Don't take chances on an uncer-
tainty. Nothing can be gained by the
election of Burke and Demuth, The
public could not expect better service
in the commissioners office than it is
getting today. 1t might get worse. In
any event there is no need to turn
that office into a Democratic headuuar-
tiers. 1t was enough when the city hall
was given over for that purpose. To
give the Democrats grip on the court
mouse besides would be to make doubt
1ul the winning of another Republican
victory In Lackawanna county for
years to come.
1t is not merely a matter Of personal
compliment. The Republican who per-
mits himself to be soft-soaped into
scratching the name Of one of the Rob.
crises in order to compliment either
Burke or Demuth takes a risk which
might under certain contingencies pre-
vent the election Of another Republic
can in this county for many years. We
say might" because we hope for a
Republican plurality for the entire
ticket large enough to constitute an
emphatic notification that the voters
Of Lackawanna are out of patience
with free silver and free trade. But
this can only be brought about by every
Republican remaining steadfast.
1t Is no time to take chances. Make
victory sure.

to Have Caught Many.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20.-During the
last six months, H. H. Moore, special
agent of the treasury department, has
been engaged in systematic investiga-
ton of the management of the custom
house. That he has unearthed extern
sive frauds upon the government is
evident by the fact that three or
more employees have been dismissed
from the service, while others have
been indicted and are awaiting trial
for violation of federal laws. The
latest testimony secured by the special
agent drags into the scandal Collector
John H. Wise and his son, Harry Wise,

BIG GAVE DISCOVERED.

Cavern After Cavern Explored Without
4: Reaching the End.
, MANSFIELD, NO., Aug. 20.-There has
been great excitement here over the re-
ported discovery of gold and the finding
simultaneously Of the largest cave in
the world, near the town Of Hudson.
For two or three years the earth has
been sinking in these parts to such an
extent as to cause uneasiness among the
population. Lately there has been q
recurrence Of this phenomenon. Upon
investigation an opening to what is
said to be the largest cave in the world
was found. Cavern after cavern lined
with pure onyx and traversed by sub
terranean streams, have been explored
without finding the end. Portions of
stalactites in one of the caverns was
found to contain gold.
