POLITICAL FOOLISHNESS.
From the Carbondale Leader.

From the Carbondale Leader.
The crop of independent candidates bids
fair to be unusually large this fall
There are always dissatisfied aspirants
after convention has ignored their
"claims" for official position, and their
friends" take the rejection of their IA
vorites much to heart. 1t seems to be a
feature inseparable from delegate con-
yention. The cry of fraud and broken
pledges is set UP, and forthwith the de-
feated aspirants are brought into the
field to undertake the expensive and hope
less task of achieving success at the poAs.
1t is dshonorable for candidates who
have subnlitted their claims to conven-
ton to bolt when they are defeated, un-
less there is the most indubtable evil
dence that they have been unfairly treat
ed. Men who get into political life and
engage in contests for official preferment
must take philosophically the rebuffs
which they are sure to meet. If they are
distanced by others in the same line
after fair and open contest they are
bound in honor to submit, and that grace
fully. Indeed, their very existence as po'
litical workers depends upon fealty to
their party.
If there is anything wrong in party
management they should seek to remedy
| it within the lines of the party, or else
i withdraw entirely from partisan activity
The attempt to right any fancied wrongs
| by running stump" is the very height oi
political foolishness.

Republican Prospects.

The card from Mr.. La Touche, pub
lished elsewhere, disposes very early of
one campaign fiction put forth by the
organ of the chairman of the Demo-
cratic campaign: and we have no doubt
that several other inventions from the
same source will he punctured as the
campaign progresses.
In the meantime the ado about bolts
and boilers from the Republican stand
ard which is artfully stirred up by the
same Machiavallian hand need not oc-
Casion alarm There is little in the
history of bolts i'm this county to en-
courage their repetition. The Republic
can ticket this year is recognized by
the masses of the party as clean and
reputable and the impropriety Of sacri-
ficing it because a few men, failing to
capture the party organization, de-
clare their intent to wreck it is easily
apparent. We credit the Republican
citizenship of Lackawanna with too
much good sense to believe that it's
equanimity will be ruffied by these
little surface eddes of personal pique
or factional disappointment.
Then again it is easily to be seen
that large element in the Democratic
party, having been brow beaten and
insulted Ivy the forces now in the saddle
within that party, will take advantage
of the inviting character of the Repub-
lican nominees and the superior prin-
ciples of the Republican platform to
teach these revOlutionists a much
needed lesson. For every Republican
seduced from party loyalty by the de-
ceptive glamor of the so-called inde-
pendent movement it is safe to estimate
that there will be ten recruits from the
sound money Democracy.
On the assumption that every loyal
Republican does his duty, the election
of the Republican ticket we believe Ia
be assured; but it is very desirable that
the majority rolled up for good govern
ment four weeks hence shall be OF
proportions calculated to discourage in
future the talk of party betrayal.

The Most Difficult Office in he World.

Now that President Mckinley, after
his enforced vacation, has resumed
business at the old stand, so to speak,
we are informed anew of the wearing
demands made upon the physical en-
durance of the occupants of the white
house. 1t is one sense an old story;
that is, it has frequently been mar
rated. But until there is better reali-
cation by the people generally and by
place-hunters especially of the limits Of
presidents ability to supervise in per-
son the innumerable and constantly
multiplying details of the executive
work of the federal government it will
need to be repeated and emphasized.
An interesting and timely discussion
of this subject is contributed by Walt
er Wellman to the Chicago Times-Her-
aid. THE man who is president of
the United States" asserts Mr.. Well
man, leads, during the time of his
incumbency an abnormal life. Pos
session of such vast power means the
burden of corresponding responsible
ity. With the issue of peace or war
in his hands, with vast influence upon
the prosperity and happiness of 10000,
600 people dependent upon his policies
and successes, the man does not live
who could take this Office and fill It
properly without feeling the weight
of il day by day and hour by hour.
AS in great things so it is with in
Vulnerable small affairs. He must
many times "A day ask himself the
question is this or that suggested ac-
tion in keeping with the dignity of
the president of the United States.
Personal impulses by the thousand

a great extent make himself over AL
most without exception every Ameri-
can who has occupied the presidential
office has risen to it, risen in character
and dignity and manner no matter
how much below it he was at the out
the man shall sink himself and become
almost another entity"
But that is not all the story. Apart
from the personal duties and require
ments of the office the president must
not only form his ministry and shape
his policies with a view to achieving
success, but he must take upon his
shoulders a mass of detail concerning
the executive affairs OF the govern

AS BRITONs VIEW 1T.

From the London National Review.
The great mass of the people of the
United States have long wished to inter-
vene in Cuba at all costs. The British
people would in their place share their
sentiments and desires, and long before
this the British government would have
been compelled to act or would have per-
ished. In America, however, there APP
pears frequently to be a complete divorce
on foreign questions between public opin-
ion and the Quadrennlally elected despot.
The last dGspot declared that Cuba lay
within the Am erican sphere of action and
warned the other powers against inter-
ference. They acquiesced. The policy of
the present despot has not yet been re-
vealed. We do not much believe in his
alleged ultimatum, though possibly he
may take some step which will cause the
Spanish people to boil over.
Every European must sympathize with
the courageous and deservedly respected
queen regent of Spain in her terrible po-
| litical aff1ictions. This does not affect the
| fact, however, that Cuba under Spanish
| auspices has become hell upon earth,
| and 1t would be a grave reproach upon
the American people If they did not de-
| sire to suppress such a hideous scandal
| at their very doors.

of personal ambition ana desire. Not
only must all appointments be made
theoretically by him as chief executive,
but actually by him in person. Be-
fore making them he must see and
talk with all the Interested persons,
no matter how great their number.
If they come again and again, for the
avowed purpose of bringing the pres
sure of persistency, they must be seen
and mollified. Crossroads politicians
must have access to the ruler of the
American people about seven-by-n mine
postoflces. The president must keep
open house to all the senators and
representatives in congress. of whom
there are something like 45O, and the
most of whom are professional office
brokers. Through all this the presi-
dent is expected to maintain his
dignity and his equanimity, keep his
patience unruffied and his sense of
justice and of the fitness of things un-
warped. The man who gives the
American people a good administra-
tion of the office of president deserves
all the honors and emoluments with
which they compensate him."
No doubt when these considerations
receive adequate thought, the marvel
will be, not that a president some
times makes mistakes, but that he
makes so few of them. In the case of
| William Mckinley it will be the gen.
eral verdict that in a similar period

From the Illustrated American.

FROM the Illustrated American
The statement that we are not a clean
people seems incredible, yet it is supported
by figures. Statistics from eighteen cit
les, representing a cross section of the
country, SHOW that five-sixths of the pop
ulation have no bath tubs. They show
that in winter but two cities III the coun-
try officially keep their citizens clean. In
summer most coast cities and the greater
lake cities provide houses to cover men
or women who care to bathe. Along the
rivers there is but little bathing, except
among boys, and that is for fun not
health. In winter cleanliness seems to be
disregarded. OF all American cities only
Buffalo, New York, and Brookline, Mas
sachusctts, support permanent public
baths. a few charitable organizations in
each city rent baths for a penny. Those
persons who are not aware of this must
depend upon the insufficient supply of
private tubs or go unwashed. a glance
at the congested districts of any sreat
city will show which alternative they pre-
fer.
The preference is not a disgrace to the
Anglo-SaXon, for the population in the
congested districts is not Anglo-SaXon.
But it is to the discredit, nay to the dam
| ger of our fundamental race-stock, that
ample facilities for cleanliness are not
| thrust upon every man, woman and child
| in our urban population. Abroad the ma
| tions have learned to prescribe cleanli-
| ness. In Great Britain more than two
hundred cities support public baths. In
| the past dozen years England and Wales
| have spent more than seven millions of
| dollars in building pools and tubs and
| showers France, Austria, Germany and
| Hungary have reused themselves to pro-
| vide for cleanliness. Paris has built
| swimming pools throughout the city.

many also has made bathing first and

are prescribed in the army barracks; they

that for Sagasta to offer autonomy
