Respondents in Dunmoro Contest
Will Begin Their Case Today.

Today, the respondents in the Dun

overcome the big lead which the Re-
publicans now have for the coveted
borough offices. c. c. Donovan and T.

cial Officers j. ]. Murray and ]. ].
LOTUS, Of Dunmore, will look after the
corralling of the 800 or more witnesses
who have been subpoenaed. About 60
witnesses from the First ward have
been summoned before the commission
for examination today.
Mr.. Donovan, in conversation with a
Tribune reporter, yesterday said he
was still confident that the Democrats
would be allowed to retain their offices.
He declined, however, to go into details
to explain on what he based this conf
dence.
To save their bacon the Democrats
will have to disqualify 200 votes and 1t
is generally conceded that it is not pos
sible for them to do this.

RepIogie- Carey Cross Suits Amicably
Terminated.

year ago loaned Mrs. Agnes Carey
81 900, taking as security a mortgage

lodge, and =. ]. Vetter, chairman Of

All these cases have now been amic-
ably settled and the litigation with

NO USE FOR ANARCHISTS.
From the Syracuse Post.

Louise Michel, the notorious French
anarchist, has been driven out of Bel
gium. She went there to SOW the seeds
of anarchy. Brussels has had trouble
enough with these disturbers of society
and the government promptly gave Lou
ise Michel her walking papers. 1t Is re-
ported that this anarchist proposes to
come to the United States to stir up the
turbulent element here and raise trouble
generally. This woman one of the vio-
lent leaders in the commune who helped
to inaugurate q reign of terror that dis
graced Paris and civilization, should find
the door closed against her IL she at

about time to draw the line on foreigners

country's good but for its hurt. They
would take advantage of labor troubles

WHERE RACE WARS CONTINUE.
From the Springfield Union.

From the Springfield Union.
The hostile attitude assumed by Some
southern citizens toward negroes in fed
eral offices, which eliminated in the at
tempted assassination of the negro post
master at Hogansville is regrettable in
deed The southerners are carrying race
prejudice entirely too far. The negro is a
citizen and he has a right to hold office,
when qualified to do so. If the race is to
enjoy the rights of citizenship, guaran-
teed by the constitution, he should have
every opportunity to prove his worth and
hold office. The administration is fully
justified in appointing negroes to federal
office, and where such appointees are men
capable of fulfilling the duties OF their po-
sitions they tend to elevate the race to
which they belong. The men who are
waging a war against such office holders,
either present or prospective, are not
working for the welfare of their section.
nor can they prevent the administration,
through fear of violence, from making
such appointments. The lives of these
appointees must and shall be preserved
from lawless attacks by white men who
assume to be better than the negroes,
bit whose disregard for the rights of cit
izenship and want of respect for laws
prove to be actually more undeserving
of citizenship than the negroes they affect
to despise, and whose lives they leopard
ize from pure selfishness and jealousy.

AuStria'S Demand.

Under the emphatic title, mo Chance
for a Kick" the Detroit (NIich) Tri-
bune voices the following sentiments,
which will meet the approval of most
thoughtful readers:
Despite the utter aDsurdity of the
proposition, a few American news
papers continue to discuss in connec-
tion with the Hazleton affair, the al
legged demand of Austria for indemnity,
as if there were a possibility that the
United States would be called upon to
pay such claims. Every first-class
government in the world gives to every
other first-class government full faith
and credit for the enforcement of law
and the preservation of order and
peace. The government of the United
States has never recognized the right
of any government to demand repara-
tion for the death of it's citizens in this
country, in whatsoever manner they
met their fate.
Even if the New Orleans case might
be held as a precedent the Hazleton
shooting is not parallel case. In the
latter instance the men were killed by
officers of the law who, so far as any
other government is concerned We're
presumably engaged in preserving or
der That their act was hasty and in
eXcusable has no bearing on the case.
1t is not given to any foreign power
to question the manner in which an
American state enforces it's laws. II
every subject of the Austrian govern
ment in Pennsylvania were killed in a
conflict with deputy sheriffs today
Austria would have no redress.
1t is always presumed that the sub
Jects of a foreign government conform
TO the laws of the country in which
they reside. If they violate these laws
in any way or are punished for vio-
lating these laws. they alone must
stand the consequences.
The men had technically violated a
Pennsylvania law in refusing to dis

Appointed Without a Pull.

Judge Jacob b. Blair who has been
appointed by President Mckinley to
the position of Surveyor General of
Utah, has had q long and brilliant
public career. He represented a West
Virginia district during the war in
two terms of Congress, was appoint
ed Minister to Costa Rica by Andrew
Johnson and during Grants second
term was appointed associate Justice
Of the Supreme Court of Wyoming,
serving twelve years in that position.
Recently he was appointed probate
Judge for Salt Lake county.
1t was while he was associate Judge
Of the Supreme Court that he became
the friend of Bill Nye, when the latter
was a poor utility man in a newspaper
office and had it not been for Judge
Blair the late humorist would never
have had the "Boomrang' which made
him famous; for it was the Judge
who secured the sum of $4,000 for Nyes
enterprise in the way of that paper.
The Salt Lake City Tribune, after
remarking that the appointment was
not gained by the support of our pro-
minent politicians of Utah who are
popularity supposed to have a pull" :"
pays the following remarkable tribute
to the new Surveyor General.
eve do not know whether Judge
Blair will make a good Surveyor
eral or not. His methods have always
been on straight lines. Whether he
can handle angles and take in the sub
stance of n plat where the boundaries
are more or less crooked remains to
be seen. His character is so straight
up that often on a down. grade he leans
backward. For him to triangulate sue
cassfully will be triumph of educa-
ton over natural instincts. Surely,
he will never work from a base merid-
ian. He has had no experience in ever
getting corners on anybody. Still h
may be able to draw good plats. A
little experience in draw poker when
he was young may help him in that,
| and he may be a better Surveyor
General than we think"

PAPERS DIDN'T Do 1T ALL.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
There is a free-and-easy assumption
that modern journalism, so called, is re-
sponsible for the rush to the Klondike.
Those who make this curious blunder
seem to be quite unaware of the fact that
there was a rush to the gold fields of Cali
fornia nearly fifty years ago, by the side
of which that to Alaska sinks into insig-
nificance. Nor must it be forgotten that
in 1919 and 1850 California was as much
an unknown land as Alaska is today, and
that every argonaut of those days under
stood that he was going forth to encoun-
ter great dangers. The new Journalism
had not yet made its appearance, but the
stampede occurred all the same, lust as
1t would have done in 1897 If the uewspa-
pers had been content to print short items
detailing the facts.

AT TWILIGHT.

Where do the happy summers go
When all the roses fade and fall
And the whip-poor-will thrills low
Thorugh lengethening ewes his plain
tive call?
Why does the sunset glory fade
And leave but ashes for its gold,
When all that warmth and beauty made
Are swathed in twilight's dullest fold?
Why doth our youth, like some dead
flower
Upon a hurrying stream sweep by,
And leave us in our loneliest hour
Ger its departed bloom to sigh?
1 cannot tell. and yet I know,
Beyond the waning summer hours,
Beyond the chill, the blight, the snow,
Another May will burst in showers!
And buds will ope, and birds will sing,
And all the land be gay with flowers,

A Cure for ScoIding Wives.

of making their wives keep still and
all with varying degrees of unsuccess.
