MISS WILLARD'S VISIT TO SCRANTON
Attended w. G. Il. u. State Conven-
ton Here in 1882.

Miss Frances Z. Willard, who died
Thursday night, visited Scranton once
on the occasion of a state convention
of the Woman's Christian Temperance
union in 1882, when she was paid many
attentions by the delegates, as well as
the town folk. Later, about four years
ago, she was in Pittston, where she de-
livered a lecture and was given a re-
ception by Mrs. Cool, now president of
the Luzerne county union, which was
attended by a number of Scrantonians.
Many incidents Of that visit will be
held in loving remembrance by those
who were privileged to be present.

LET CONGRESS SHOULDER 1T.

The purpose of the postmaster general to
reduce the force OF letter carriers in cities
in the interest of economy should be re-
considered. The postal business is heavier
now than it has been for years, and the
indications are that it will become heavier
still. The force of carriers in many cities
is already too small for the labor to be
performed and needs to be increased rather
than diminished. The cause of the deficit
in the departments business is the large
amount of cheap and worthless publications
the government now transports in the
mails at the nominal rate of / cent a pound.
Legislation relieving the mails of this bur-
den would quickly place the service on a
paying basis, and would in no way harm or
embarrass the people. The duty of remedy
ing the evil rests with congress-, and the
postmaster general should let the obligation
remain where it belongs. The country is
not worrying itself over the postal deficit
10 an extent that will warrant Gripping the
carrier service 10 wipe it out.

DAMAGING

Wise and effective leadership is important
TO party success, but, after all. the essen
tial thing is votes. Parties have managed
20 get along in the past. although suddenly
deprived of their most brilliant chiefs, but
no instance is recorded where a chief has
moved on 10 victory without the assistance
of a rank and file. Hence it follows that
in order to predict confidently the future
of a political organization, it is necessary
first TO take account of the loyalty, en-
thusiasm. and general mental and moral
condition of the mass of its members.
We are moved TO these observations by
a news item in yesterdays papers, which
is ominous of the demise of Populism.
Uncle Dave Hefebower, Populist state
treasurer of Kansas, a man whose very
name carries conviction home 10 a doubt
ing public. has stated officially that a
greater proportion of state taxes is now
IN the hands of the treasurer than at the
same time in any previous year in the
states history.
This indicates black trcachery TO the
Populist cause. For The Kansas Populist is
q man accustomed to think of the future.
lie realizes that it is some distance from
Medicine Lodge 10 Lombard street, and
does not expect the British lion TO roar i'm
mediately when the spiral motion is i'm
parted 10 his tail, knowing that nervous
shocks travel only 100 feet a second. He
has proved that he is capable of holding
his wheat, TO the utter confusion of the
grocer and the octopus. He could still
more easily hold his taxes, half of which
are not due until June.
But he has paid UP. He feels that this
is more business-like. safer and manlier. He
is made of the kind OF stuff that responds
10 these motives; therefore he has paid.
This is good for the farmer and the state
but death to the Populist party. These
men are aiding in keeping in circulation
2d9-cent dollars. They are taking the wint
out OF much Populist oratory. leaving moth.
ing but a vacuum. They are making STA.
tistics which will be utterly unavailable,
for the use of the central committee. ant
that august body will soon find itself un.

MIR. GAGE TO MR.. BRYAN.

It may have been superiuous for Secre-
tary Gage to answer the most unreasonable
~harangue delivered by William Jennings
Bryan at Chicago, on the occasion of the
Jackson celebration in that city. neverthe-
less as Mr.. Bryan made a personal attack
upon the honesty OF the secretary of the
treasury. it was perhaps not amiss that
there should be some recognition Of his
utterarce.
Mr.. Gage, who certainly has the best of
facilities for ascertaining the changes that
lave taken place in our industrial con-
ditions. and whose honesty in his repre-
sensations cannot fairly be questioned, re-
views the business improvement in the
whole country so fully, and makes such
a commanding showing, that If the boy
orator is capable OF embarrassment he will
certainly wish that he had remained in
Mexico or that he had not resorted to his
ridiculous bulIdozing tactics in this case.
This review, which, was fully embodied
in the report of the recent annual meeting
of the Trades League of Philadelphia, on
which occasion Mr.. Gage made his address.
should be read by everyone who is genu-
finely interested in the actual Improvement
made by this country since the presiden-
tial election that resulted in placing Mr..
Mckinley In the White House.
One of the most significant challenges of
Mr.. Gage to Mr.. Bryan is this: Let him
point. If he can, to one single instance of
an advance in wages between the date of
the Chicago convention of 1896 and the
November election of that year, when the
ruinous platform was condemned by the
verdict of the people. He knows that with
in a few weeks after the November cleo
ton. 1896, 15.00 men. idle for a long time,
were put to work in the window glass in
dustry. Since then, as the revival has
progressed. instances of advances in wage
rates and OF increases in numbers en-
ployed have multiplied"
Is 1t not a fact that the period of long
depression reached its greatest stress be-
tween the nomination of William ]. Bryan
and his defeat? The mere possibility of
his election on the Chicago platform was
so paralyzing that the recovery following
his defeat was most significant and con-
vincing.

The Rock-a-By Lady from Hushaby street
Comes stealing: comes creeping:
The poppies they hang from her head TO her feet
And each hath a dream that is tiny and fleet
She bTingeth her roppies to you. my sweet.
When she hndeth you sleeping.
There is one little dream o. a beautiful drum
''Rub-a-dub," it g0eth;
There Is one n,tle dream Of a big sugar plum,
And 10: thick aad fast the other dreams come
OF ropsuHs that bang. and tin tops that hum.
And 4 trumpet that bIowcth,
And doIIies peep out Of those wce lit,ls dreams
With laughter and singing;
And boats go a-HoatinG on siIvery streams.
And the stars peek-a-boo with their own misty
Gleaus.
And up. up. and up. where the Mother Noon beams.
The fairies go winsing!
Would you dream all these dreams that are tiny
and feet?
They'll come TO you sleeping;
So shut the two eyes that are weary. nv sweet,
For the Rock-a-By Lady from Hushahy street.
With peoples that hang from her head to he. feet,
Comes stealing; comes creeping.

A Kansas Man Says $5O,0OO,O 900.

From the Portland Oregonian.
Cash to an amount between SO, 900. 900 and
SIS, 0OO.O 600 will be withdrawn from stockings
and tin cans and banks in the East and
spent on the Pacific coast during the COM
Ing year. This Is not a mere guess by
some visionary enthusiast. but the estimate
of a conservative banker. Frank c. Miller.
formerly of Salina. Kas.. cashier of the
United States National bank, talked freely
on the subject yesterday to an Oregonian
reporter, and after stating his belief that
the future held very bright things in store
for Oregon, gave the reasons for the faith
that is in him.
Mr.. Miller made the foregoing estimate
after careful consideration of the number
of people who will be drawn to the West
by the glittering possibilities offered in
Alaska, and of the average amount of
money each one will bring with him. He
has sounded people from all over the coun-
try In regard to the state of feeling in their
respective sections. and. being thrown
with men OF affairs who are capable of
forming intelligent and reliable opinions
about the condition of public feeling. his
calculations are entitled to consideration.
A prominent official of the Postal Teie-
graph Company, who has recently been all
over the country. told him that the reports
of the excitement prevailing everywhere
have not been exaggerated, and that a
much greater number of foreigners will
seek our shores on their way to the gold
fields than is commonly supposed.
Mr.. Miller expresses the opinion that the
immense quantity of money which will
come westward. and which cannot fail to
cause the most prosperous times ever en-
joyed on the coast. will be drawn from such
a widely extended area that there will be
no evil effects upon the rest of the coun-
try. The majority of the argonauts will be
of vigorous country stock. men with con-
stitutions able to endure hardships. and
whose industry in farm or trade work has
nabied them to accumulate a little money.
which they will be willing to risk in n trial
for wealth. Many will be stranded before
reaching the goal, while many more Will
return to a more hospitable climate. and
from such sources Oregon will add u very
desirable class of people to its population.
81 am a great believer in advertising"
concluded Mr.. Miller. and this is the
greatest advertising opportunity ever Of
fered to any section. We have a mag
nificent country. that Is comparatively un-
known, and we should use every means to
advance its welfare. Yes. S5o.GtO.0 20 Is a
conservative estimate of the amount of
money which will be spent in the region
tributary to the coast. and the probabilities
are that it will be much nearer $4,000. 000."

An odd coincidence of the war is the
fact that the mansion at Annapolis,
which is now serving as prison for
Admiral Cervera, was for some years
the residence of Lieut., Wainwright,
whose intrepid bravery led to the SUR
render. That captor and captive
should within few years have lived
in the same residence is certainly re-
markable. The house itself is an old
fashioned roomy structure, and it has
been a great favorite with the pro-

place many remarkable entertain
