A MOTTO FOR VOTERS.
From the Hartford Courant.
nnilnrnnin nf .rnth,r nr,n.r. 4

From the Hartford Courant
An epidemic of apathy among the Re-
publican voters this fall might easily
mean the election of a Democratic house
of representatives. Suppose that calam-
ity occurs. Europe will jump at once to
the conclusion that the American people
have changed their minds about the war
and have condemned and repudated the
policy of President Mckinley. Spain will
rejoice and take courage. Every ill-wish-
er of the country, every secret enemy
will be cmboldened. Our peace commits
sioners at Paris will notice a sudden and
chilling change in the atmosphere. Their
mission will become vastly more difficult
If not impossible. Here at homo we may
look for a renewal Of the efforts of vi
cious financial legislation, fresh dis
turbance of public confidence and another
long paralysis of business. Nothing of all
this is necessary. No such calamity will
befall us if the voters throughout the
country will believe in President McKin-
ley of the gold standard and go to the
polls on election day. One of the old
Scotch families took for its motto: II
make sure" This Is a good motto for
every Connecticut Republican. and for
every other Republican this fall. He may
think that his vote isn't needed and
wouldn't be missed. but to the extent Of
that one vote he can do his part toward
making secure.

l Will not touch upon Mr.. COnnclls at
tributes as a charitable person, for such
| know would be distasteful to man or
his intelligence and age What he gave
and he has given plenteously-was vita
liberal hand. But let us for moment
look at what he has done with the money
he earned by the sweat of his brow, and
the skill of his hand. When William Con-
nell left his Mirooka home in 1872, and
located In this city, we were a miserable
community of $1,000 souls, dependent en-
tirely on a rolling mill and the mines,
Were we dependent on these things to-
day we would be worse off than we were
in 1872. Mr.. Connell had foresight as wei
as hind sight. He had faith in Scranton,
and with us he decided to venture the
money he made. He saw the disadvant-
ages we were laboring under, and he un-
dertook the task of Kidding us of them.
He spurred up the board of trade to seek
industries. He helped to give us our sec
ond steel mill; he gave us woolen mill.
button factory. an axle works and
dozen OF other industries, unnecessary to
bother the readers with now. His money
went into the Dickson works. when that
company was in sore plight and threat
ened to abandon Scranton. lie kept nag
ging at other men until they opened their
purse strings and made Scranton what 1t
Is. People say Mr.. Connell went into the
ventures because there was money in
them. OF course he did. A thousand 9TH
er industries would flourish in this city
II we only had men like Mr.. Connell. who
had confidence i'm us. and were willing to
take the risk.

! am writing of William Connell now,
as we all speak of him, when politics do
not warp our judgments. Indeed, very
often we are slaves to political prejudice.
and under these prejudiCes we do and say
things which our better judgments loud
ly proclaim is not right. We listen and
very often applaud the dcmagoGue who
attacks wealth. and denounce men be-
cause they have more of the earthly
things than we possess. When the poor
man speaks of William Conncll as hon
est convictions prompt him. there are
political strumpets on the street corner
ready to cry him down as a man ''pur-
chased by Connell." If a poor man ue-
fends William Connell when these prosti-
tutes of politics attack his name and mo-
tivcs. he is accused of being Conncll
henchman. These character assassinato.s
teach us that a vlifiCatior of the rich
helps the poor, and that the workma:,
must give no honors to his employer
That is an evil doctrine. and one that
does great injustice to many employers
and renders no service to the workman.

Fortunately there Is no inconsiderahle
body of men in this community with suf-
ficient sense and conscience who are able
to rise above party control and vote in
support of good measures and honest,
capable men. These are not men dom.n-
ated with one idea and devoted to some
one measure that is the remedy of I'LL
our political ills. They are the many who
rise above party objections to a consid-
Grafton of their country's good. These men
are not organized into party-unless the
fact that two men thinking alike make
a party-but they possess something no.
bier than party gives-the courage to vote
and work for the best man. The man
who votes for and defends an honest
man, has everything to be proud of ana
nothing to be ashamed of. The man who
is afraid to defend honor and work for
the best interests of his county, is not
a good citizen, no matter how steadfast
he may be in adhering to party principles.
Hon. William Connell is Republican, but
not of the school that is bound to any
party ties by hemp rope. First of all,
he is a Scrantonan, an ideal Pennsyl-
vanian. and our success Is dearer to him
than any party affiliations, That's why
Mr.. Connell is a man admired not by
the classes but by the masses. William
Connell, In the halls of congress, is not
representing any particular party in this
county. he is there representing every
man, woman and child in this county.

William Connell Is man-so singular
ly distinguished from other statesmen Of
the age-that he is one all men regard
less of politics can enthuse over He is
as free from political bigotry as he is
from religious prejudice. He Is a man
schooled in adversely, broadened in his
association with men. In the employ
ment of labor politics do not influence
him, in the advocacy of the best inter-
ests of this valley, he is not swayed nor
moved by any one man or party political
faith. That's the kind of a man our con.
gressman Is.

feet under command of Commodore
Dewey appeared off Manila last night
and early this morning it drew up op-
posite the mouth of the .harbcr and
completely penned up the entire Span
ish feet, which srefused apparently to
give battle. Admiral Montejo had
given out a day or two ago that he
would meet the American feet fifteen
miles out from Manila and IL he failed
to gain decisive victory would return
and cooperate with the land forces.
This, Commodore Dewey learned be-
fore leaving Hong Hong, and 20 shaped

Omaha Exhibits,

A meeting of the Black Hills COM
mission in charge of the exhibit of the
Black Hills at the Trans-Mississippi
exposition was held in Deadwood last
week at which majority of the mem
bers were present. The meeting was
for the purpose Of outlining course
to be pursued, the manner of making q
display, ETC., says the Pioneer Times,
The manner of dividing the freight was
also determined, the companies having
agreed to return the material to the
Hills, although full rates must be paid
for sending the exhibit to Omaha. It
is believed the Black Hills counties
will raise $1,000 to 5000, almost entire.
ly by private subscriptions, and very
creditable exhibit can be made for that
sum. The committee has :secured 800
feet of choice space in the Mines build
ing, having large aisles on three sides
and near three of the large entrances.
Several collections of choice specimens
have been promised, beside quantities
of ore from various mines that show
the character of the ores of this dis
trict and will no doubt attract consid-
cradle attention. The Lawrence coun-
| ty members of the commission expect
to raise $1,000, most Of which has been

American Fleet Destroys the Spanish
Fleet and Captures Manila.
LONDON, May Am official report
from the British consul at Manila tells
his government that the American
feet approached the harbor Saturday
night and found the Spanish fleet under
the guns of the fort. At daybreak the
American feet, to the astonishment of
everyone, made rush through the
narrow neck of the harbor, avoiding
the hundreds Of torpedoes and subma-
rine mines as though familiar with the
location of them and thoroughly ac-
quainted with their whereabouts, and
under the very guns of the forts opened
. terrific fire on the Spanish feet.
The very first guns did terrible havoc,
two Spanish battleships being literally
blown to pieces. A few minutes later
q few more were riddled until they
were useless and the American tars
boarded them and took control. The
Spanish sunk the balance of their feet
to avoid being captured. Three thous
and Spanish sailors were killed during
the terrific battle. The Americans lost
55 men and two of their ships were
damaged. At noon there was COM
bined attack on the city by the Ameri-
cans and among the first damage done
was the blowing up of the arsenal. A
flag of truce was sent up and the au-
&horities asked for twenty-four hours
tosarrange for terms of capitulation,
which was granted, and the lombard
ment ceased.

safe in the harbor.
