The Specter at the Feast.

The reasons offered by John Dillon
why the Irish people will not partici-
tate in the jubilations attending the
commemoration of the completion of
Queen Victorias siXtieth year of SOW
ereignty are certainly sufficient to JUS
tify lukewarmness. The fact that in
that period the population of Ireland
has fallen from 100000 to 4,50000O;
while coercion act after coercion act
has followed in quick succession, with
outrages of the grossest kind punctuat-
ing the entire time, is a blot upon the
record too conspicuous to be ignored.
1t will not be held by impartial stu
dents of the history of British admin
istration in Ireland that the faults have
been altogether on one side; but the
fact remains that the English govern
ment has displayed a total miscon-
tion of the Irish character, and by us
ing cruelty and force where kindness
would have been the easiest as well
as the most effective weapon has turned
this warm-hearted race into a race of
irreconcilable enemies. The faulty of
the Anglican treatment of Ireland is
the more remarkable when contrasted
with the nice adaptation of means to
ends which has characterized the most
of England's other attempts to rule ac-
quired provinces.
1t is true that in comparatively re-
cent times there has been a change
in England's Irish policy. Something
like moderation and conciliation is now
the programme; but the trouble with
this new order of things is that it
comes too late. Already every Irish
man had been taught from his mothers
breast to view in England an enemy
and to maintain toward Englishmen
In official life the attitude of watchful
suspicion and distrust. 1t will take
generations for this feeling to disap-
pear, if indeed it can ever be removed.
The memory of Ireland's wrongs is the
specter at Victoria's feast.

OF INCALCULABLE VALUE.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
We have always advocated the annex
alton Of Hawaii, believing that in the
equation of our commercial expansion
such a factor as Hawaii is supremely
important if not actually Indispensable.
1t seems to us that we could do nothing
wiser in the way of trade development
than to secure possession of this key to all
the great ocean pathways of the Pacific.
To take possession of Hawaii is to con-
troll the pathways of commerce over two
thirds of the globe, to hold the focus of
the steamship and telegraph lines of
three great continents, to take toll of ev-
cry mercantile enterprise between Cal
cutta and San Francisco, between Mel
bourne and Hong Kong. There is, be-
sides, military consideration of which
we must not lose sight. With Hawaii as
a basis of offensive and defensive opera
tions we should be infinitely strength
ened on our Pacific coast. We should be
far better equipped than we now are for
seh-protection or attack. The value of
the arrangement would be incalculable.

Scranton's New Postmaster.

In the nomination of Colonel Ezra II.
Ripple to be postmaster of Scranton the
president has conferred recognition
upon one of the most untiring, unset
fish and effective Republicans in the
city. No man has done more toward
the uplifting of the party in city and
county than Colonel Ripple, and on the
other score of personal deserving no
man more thoroughly merits the honor
which has thus come to him.
That he will bring to this new posi-
tion of trust the same high fidelity to
duty and the same business-like COM
prehension of details which have char
acterized him in other relations does
not need to be said To those who wish
for the duties of the office to be per-
formed conscientiously, intelligently
and with incessant vigilance in the
public's interest, Colonel Ripple's ap-
pointment will be hailed as most fe-
licitous one. These comprise, we be-
lieve, the great bulk of the Offices pat
rons.
1t remains to be said for Colonel Rip
pies predecessor, Mr.. Vandling, that
he will take with him into private life
the good will of the community, and a
record of satisfactory service.

WHAT, INDEED.
From the Troy Times.


What is the use of fertilizing bushes
for other people to pick the berries? If
the United States is to represent simply
defensive and not aggressive republican,
ism, let it pull in its Monroe shingle and
leave the canaries of budding republics
to be swallowed by the tigers of greedy
monarcbies. There is always a tendency
to look a gift horse In the mouth. But
the animal may be a good horse even
though a dark one, and serviceable for
an outrider for the republican chariot.

Within two days two Washington pa
pers and one Philadelphia journal have
presented authoritative statements"
of the presidents Cuban policy Ac-
cording to one of these he intends to
force Spain to terms; according to the
second, he is going to coax Spain q
little and then let the matter drop, and
according to the third he will coax first
and then force. Apparently the dear
public can take it's choice. In the
meantime, we assume that when the
president gets ready to declare his in
tentions he will do so in a manner not
open to misconstruction.

spare s1,OOO,OOO from their school fund
and s50O00O from their state aid to
charity remains to be seen. Some time
ago It was reported that combination
of legislators had been formed of suf-
ficient strength to thwart the proposed
cut in the school appropriations. 1t is
certain that such a cut would be au-
thorized with reluctance, and for the
members to return home after having
been participants in a scaling down of
the charity appropriations would be to
assume risks the like of which few men
in politics care to assume. But under
compulsion OF necessity this pro-
gramme may prevail. 1t is significant
that Chairman Elkin appears to favor
it. He undoubtedly speaks for the or
ganization.

SCRANTON, JUNE %, 1897.

We hasten to assure our genial

Wilkes Barre Record, that it is useless
for him to offer to mediate between our
esteemed contemporaries, the Truth
and the Times. The Tribune is one of
the greatest mediators in the business
and IL has failed.

HOLIDAYS TO SPARE.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
The holidays law of the state has been
the subject of amendment at each session
of the legislature for the past twenty
years. The present legislature has passed
a measure which brings all the holidays
under one law, with a uniform rule for
their observance on the Monday following
when their date falls on Sunday, and 1t
adds new holiday to the list-Lincoln's
birthday, February r. BY the same act
Labor Day is fixed on the first Monday
in September, TO accord with the federal
law and the Labor Day law of all the
other states which have such a holiday.
The February election day is made a
whole holiday instead of half holiday,
as heretofore.
When the bill, which passed finally last
week, is signed by the governor, Pennsyl-
vania will have ten legal holidays in ev-
cry year, viz, New Years Day, Lincoln's
birthday, the February election day,
Washington's birthday, Good Friday,
Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor
Day, the November election day and
Christmas. In addition every Saturday
afternoon is a legal half holiday. This
list represents more legal holidays than
there will be actual holidays. The banks
will close on the dates indicated by law as
holidays, but on at least six of these ten
lation will pursue their accustomed vo-
cations so far as the closing of the banks
permits Memorial Day, Independence
Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas
are the four real holidays of the year.
The rest are quasi-holidays, observed by
a few and by those few for a small part
of the day only. Perhaps we shall grow
up to the full list.
Ten real holidays in a year are not too
many If properly distributed. 1t is to be
observed that three of our ten holidays
come in the month of February, while
the months of June, August and october
have no full holiday, and March and
April divide the honors of Good Friday
between them. 1t may be found wise to
make a better distribution of holidays
hereafter, but for some time to come 1t
would be wise to let the subject rest
and give the people a chance to grow UP
to these holidays If they can. At any
rate, no more holidays should be added
on any pretense. We have sufficient and

A few words from Brother Cleveland
on the Hawaiian question would be
interesting If not important.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-06-22

One Of the arguments offered in OPP
position to Hawaiian annexation is
that we might better employ our ener-
gies In widening the markets for the
products Of the territory we already
have. But we can do that too.
1t is wonderful how the Springfield
Republican finds out things. Its latest
discovery is that President Mckinley
didn't want Hawaii at all, but abrupt
ly ordered the annexation treaty sent
TO the senate when he found that the
Republican senatorial caucus couldn't
agree on the sugar schedule OF the
tariff bill. You VIII notice that the

Teachers at Madison.

A large number of Somerset teachers
assembled at Madison, Tuesday, for the
purpose of attending the convention OF
the Somerset Teachers Association.
The programme for the day as heretofore
published was carried out.
All the papers were excellent and gave
many new ideas of value to all. The
teaching exercises Ia reading aud geo
graphy were of much interest, as they
showed what the pupils have been doing.
At 1 p. IN. the business meeting was
held and the following officers were
chosen for the ensuing year: Prin. F.
G. harrington, Skowhegan, president ;
Mary Robinson, Skowhegau, vice presi-
dent; Miss Robbins, Madison, secretary I;
Mrs. McLain, North Arson, treasurer.
A new constitution was read and adopt

Getchell passed to the higher life. AT
the time of her death she was living at
the home of her nephew, Mr.. Angler Hill
of East Cornville, where she has resided
for the past two years. Previous to this
time she lived in Skowhegan. She had
been in failing health for number of
years and therefore the end was not
wholly unexpected. Mrs. Getchell was
81 years and mos. of age at the time of
her death. She leaves two sisters, Mrs,
Hill of Skowhegan, and Mrs. Hall of
Mimi, and one brother In Wisconsin.
The funeral services were held at her
