THE LEGISLATURE.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

They tell us the last legislature was ex-
travagant ard corrupt, hence il ought 10
be beaten. Well, there were Ill Repub-
licans in the last house, and only 50 have
been renominated, and of these 80 voted
for Wanamaker for senator. Some OF
these % might have been open TO corruD-
tion--qute likely Mr.. WanamakeP may
have Information about that--but it is to
the fellows who didn't vote for him that

From the Wilkes Barre Record.
A very good way for Republicans 70

place a cross IN the circle al the head
OF the first column. There is not d name
in that column that any good citizen
need ever be ashamed of having voted

Dir. Reed on DR.. Swallow.

Few more accurate Characterization
have been made in any campaign than
Di. Reeds analysis of Rev. DR.. Swal-
low. The president of Dickinson col
legc knows the Prohibition candidate
for governor well. They have been
closely brought together in religious
and educational work and the opinion
of the one concerning the other is that
of an intelligent and fair-minded judge.
Dr. Reed freely credits DR.. Swallow
with honest intentions and sincerity
but says with due personal respect
that swallow lacks the ability to see
things in their larger relations" That
is, he sees things from restricted
standpoint and unconsciously exagger-
ates minor features. He is q rider of
hobbies: not long ago the only ISSUE
he could see in public affairs which inn
pressed him as worth considering was
the issue of Prohibition in the third
party sense. He would not discuss
anything else. Since that time Prohi-
bition has not been enacted into law:
1t is therefore just as much all issue as
never mentions Prohibition; all his at
tention is conferred upon his new hobby
that everybody in politics excepting
himself is plotting to loot the common
wealth. An example of his eager cred
ulity To believe things which are not

information came in round about fash
ion by hearsay on the strength of the
little tattle of a diScredited travelling
man; vet Dr.. Swallow Immediately be-
mings, into the political arena as a
iirchrand of fancied great destructive
ness. It's effect has been simply to eX-
pose his own sensitiveness to sensa-
tions.
OF DR.. Swallows sincerity there is
no question; his personal honesty has
not been impugned in his proper place
no doubt he possesses much power for
good. AS public prosecutor, however
it is clear from the experiences which
he has already had in this role that
he lacks the ability to separate gossip
and suspicion from fact; that he is not
careful, cool and impartial weighel
OF evidence, but an enthusiast who
makes rash leaps at unsound conclu-
sions. If elected governor he would be
in hot water all the time and would as
often be Don QuiXote thrusting his
lance into windmills as a lynx-eyed
Nidocq skilfully unraveling the tangled
threads of intrigue and iobbcry. With.
out any reference to the broad political
bearing of this coming election it must
be clear to all thoughtful men that DR.

or victory have yet to be garnered unless

The situation is not only difficult, but
entirely new. The people have not been
called upon heretofore to deal with such
question. We try our local cases I'm
open local courts. and we understand and
make the proper allowances for heated
controversies and the acrimony of warm
partisanshp. But we are now in the
open court of the world, with a case OF
worldwide interest. and we cannot with
safety appear there except in agreement
among ourselves and in earnest advocacy
of one supreme end. We cannot assai

sentatives at Paris without inhicting an
injury on the whole country.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1898-11-03

il is no proper answer to accuse the
president of selfshness in this appeal: TO
say that he makes it because he will
benefit by united action. lie is the coun-
try's chief magistrate and stands for the
country. He is complimented upon his
conduct OF the war, and dcservedly. He
has benefited by that. He is entitled to
whatever praise he merits while occupy
ing an office to which he has been elevat
ed by tho majority of the people. If the
war had proved disastrous to the United
states it would have proved disastrous
also to him. lie would have been held
responsible for the full failure recorded.
1t is but fair, therefore. that he now
enjoys credit for the conduct of the sub
stantial and brilliant triumphs Of the
war with Spain.
As was said at the outset. the question
is entirely new. We have not dealt with
Its like at any time in our history. But.
nevertheless, the duty of the hour is

NEW YORK, March 22.-Dr. Louis
Klopsch, now in Cuba in charge of the
American relief work, cables from Ha-
vana under. date OF March 81 to The
Christian Herald:
*'The situation is simply this: Two
hundred and five thousand reconcen-
trados in over 400 accessible towns are
helplessly destitute. Unless we can
get regularly, without a break, 800
tons of corn meal and 80 tons Of lard or
bacon every week, we cannot effectively
relieve the suffering. Spasmodic and
unsystematic efforts defeat all good in:

NO DELAY INTENDED.

President Will Send the Maine Report to
Congress as Soon a. 1t Arrives.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-The pro-
cedure in connection with the submis-
sion of the report of the Maine court Of
inquiry by the president to congress is
now clearly outlined and cabinet of.
ficer explained the general line Of &C.
ton at present intended to be pursued
upon receipt of the report, which is
expected to reach Washington next
Thursday. A copy Of it will be laid. be-
fore the Spanish government very
early, and, as soon as it can be con sist'
emily done, the report will be sent to
congress and made public at the same
time. The report to congress will be
accompanied by message from the
president stating that, after receiving
the report, the conclusions were laid
before the Spanish government and
appropriate action from that quarter
asked. 1t is stated positively that no
part of the report and
No Int1mation of the Findings
has reached the executive authorities
in Washington as yet. At the same
time it is noticeable fact that the cur
rent of official opin ion is beginning to
follow that of the unofficial opinion ex-
pressed SO positively and persistently
at Havana and Key West that the
cause of the explosi on was external to
the battleship Officials high in the
administration state that while they
were wholly without exact information
as to the findings of the court of in
quiry they found themselves sharing
in the apparently intangible conviction
that the cause of the explosion was not
accidental. Opinion expressed by the
Maine survivors who reached here last
Saturday doubtless contributed largely
to this view in official circles. In this
connection it is understood that one of
the officers who arrived on Saturday
stated, not as opinion but as his per.
sonal observation on the night of the
disaster, that =
There Were Two Distinct Explosions.
The tendency of this is to support the
theory OF external cause, as this is
based on the idea that the first external
q
ternal explosion.
Intense interest in the report was
manifested during the day at the
White House and at the state, war and
navy departments. The president re-
ceived number of congressional lead
ers, among them being Speaker
Reed and Chairman Hit of
the house committee on foreign
affairs. The visit of Mr.. Reed
naturally attracted much attention,
as he seldom leaves the congressional
sphere to make calls on the executive
branch, and it was naturally inferred
that the purpose of his visit was to
confer upon the Cuban situation and
its future before congress-, though
neither he nor Mr.. Hit was communi-
catlve. Secretary Long also had an
extended conference with the presi-
dent. ,....". .4 - aI*
