A man stands no chance of being
elected to the mayorship of city
unless he enjoys the confidence and
esteem of his reighbors. Geo. W.
Humphrey is the popular mayor of
Swanton, Ohio, and under date OF
Jan. 16, 1896, he writes as follows:

THE HEN HAWK.

ing OF some of the extraordinary
statesmen of the Nineteenth, which
took place at the county seat a
few days ago. They were discus,
sing the doings of the legislature,
Of which the Ne,cS says:
"Hon. j. J. Riggs, who had here
totore maintained ran unusual sill
.ence, arose from the seat, and with
modulating precision and striking
cadence, said:
"Gentlemen, deal not too harshly
with the deceased legislature, for
there was at least one habit to
which none of the members were
addicted, and that was the habi'
of thinking; and only thirteen of
them used the phrase 'have seed.
"'Riggs was the member who
when things were dull and tn,
chambers presented an appearance
of chiiliness would address thu
house and swoop down upon tn,
Ignorant with q shrill screeeh
which soon won for him the title
Hen Hawk of the House."

In the hurly-burly of the last day

to name the various legislatu' es

The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-11-10
Regarding Currency Reform.

Senator Platt of Connecticut has ex-
pressed the common sense of a much
exaggerated matter by pronouncfng
impracticable any attempt by the pres
ent administration to move toward
currency reform until 1t has reasonable
assurance that congress, and especial
ly the senate, will aid instead of him
der and nullify it's efforts.
A portion of the public is clamorous
for currency reform and yet no two of
those who thus make the welkin ring
are agreed either in principle or in
detail upon what kind Of reform they
want. Meanwhile, the currency that
we have is doing admirably and if the
agitators in kid gloves no less than
the agitators in blouses would only
give business a chance to recuperate
in peace, we should soon all be happy.
The Republican party cannot be driv-
en- by the shouting of its enemies into
q fool fight against shadows. 1t has
cut out enough to do during the next
year or two in the readjustment of
the revenues to a fair protective basis
and in the handling of the delicate
foreign complications inherited from
the curious administration of Grover
Cleveland. Currency reform is in no
hurry. 1t will be time to set forth
on that campaign when the experts
come together in substantial agree
ment upon what they want reformed
and how.

Is Its Mission Comp let ed ?

We invite the attention of our read
ers to an editorial reprinted elsewhere
from the New York Sun. 1t is worthy
of thoughtful study and we believe
its conclusions are sound
There are persons in each American
community who herald it as a virtue
that they are independents in politics.
They profess to regard with a certain
feeling of pity mixed with contempt
those citizens who are partisans. They
especially view with a show of exalted
disdain those citizens who acknow-
ledge allegiance in politics to the Re-
publican party. They assume to be
better than any party; so much better
that they affect to regard steady CO.
operation with any party, and more
particularly with the Republican party,
as requiring of them forfeiture of their
self respect. They will not lend their
Efforts to the bringing out from party
management and methods the best re-
suits in government possible to be
brought out with conditions as thew
exist; they will not take hold of the
party system and at some personal
sacrifice of time and energy and money
strive to lift 1t to as high a degree of
practical efficiency and benencence
as it can be lifted when the fact is
recognized that the electorate in this
country is not uniformly wise, upright
and progressive; but they viii stand
back and criticize; they viii be petu-
liant, denunciatory and obstructive.
The name for this attitude of inde-
pendence in Mugwumpery; and the
Sun accurately describes what evils

public affairs of our time. II has been,
in pretence, a superior influence; but in
effect It has been invariably a deteri-
Grating and q mischievous influence.
1t is responsible for Clevelandism, and
that cost every American citizen dear.
By being responsible for Clevela ndism
it made possible the opposite extreme
of Organism, and that, also, has
brought harm upon the entire circle OF
American enterprise. 1t is now threat
ening to introduce into the politics of
the coming decade third era--the era
of nom -partisanism, OF whimsical per-
sonal rule by self-proclaimedly superior
men, responsible to no organized body
of their fellow. citizens; erratic, eccen-
tric and given over wholly to their per-
sJnal impulses. The system of govern
ment by party, under which this nation
has enjoyed more than a century Of
wonderful growth in all directions of
possible human achievement. is to be
branded as obsolete, and in its stead
we are TO have. If these counsels pre-
vail, a chaos of government by self
appointed leaders, pursuing new-fang-
led ideals of their own no two in har-
mony, no two willing to make minor
concessions for the sake of major re-
suits; no two, in other words, under
that sense of discipline and wise re-
straint which makes of wisely direct
ed party organization an irresistible
power for good.
And yet, all this time, the fact is
undeniable that the Republican party,
taken as Mr.. Lincoln would say COM
ing and going" is the one party that
we have which is efficient for the large
trusts of administration and adequate
to the supreme demands of construc-
tive and conservative craftsmanship.
AS a party it is not perfect. Criticism
for Improvement is an inalienable
prerogative of its membership. But
has a period been reached in human
evolution when it may safely be kicked
over, to make way for the indetcrmin-
ate, invertebrate thing which Mug
wumpery offers as q substitute?

The Outlook in the Senate.

With the near approach of the con-
stitutional date for the reassemblage
of congress the long-mooted proposition
of cloture for the senate newly receives
popular discussion. This time it ap-
pears that the silver men are uneasy.
They have long enjoyed the obstruc-
tionary possibilities conferred by the
present rule of unlimited senatorial
debate, and have recognized in that
rule a resource for their cause even
after reverses at the polls shall have
diminished their number to a minority;
but since the elections of last week,
which practically assure q working
Republican majority not later than
1899, they have grown suddenly ap-
prchensive.
And it is with reason. If there Is
one policy for which the Republican
party now stands, it is the policy of
majority rule. This policy has been
Incorporated by it into the permanent
traditions Of the house, and it is as
certain as anything in the future
can be that One of the first steps which
Will follow the installation of a work
ing Republican majority in the SEN
ate will be the adoption for all sub
Sequent time of a rule enabling a ma
jority after reasonable debate to en-
force the previous question. The
cXigencies of the public service will
probably not require of the senate so
summary a rule of cloture as obtains
today in the house. Nor is 1t desirable
that the freedom of debate which has
afcretime been the senate's one com
m2nding distinction should be curtail-
ed in its essence.
But it is imperative for the senate $
own perpetuity that this freedom shall
not much longer remain degenerate in
the widest license of flibuster and
sheer fractiousness. Ample debate for
the purpose of instruction is one
thing; endless babble for the purpose
of obstruction is quite another. The
consuming of time by unimpressive
minorities not by high argument COM
nelling thoughtful attention but by
contemplate trick and artifice for the
express end of holding up" majority
measures as the armed highWayman
might at pistol point hold up a train
fun of passengers each intellectually
and morally more than his peer, is
as far removed from the traditional
purport of the present senate rules as
is the northern pole removed from the
southern. 1t is the abuse of free de-
bate, not it's wise use, at which the
corrective blow is aimed
