Election Dav One Week Hence.

The failure of either candidate for
mayor to make public an announce
ment of policy compels the discrimin-
ating citizen to draw comparisons be-
tween the parties and the men. Polit-
icaly. it is an indsputable fact that
the city of Scranton has always pros
pcrCd best under Republican admins
tration. Under it the public credit has
been good. there has been vigilant
enforcement of law, vice has been held
under intelligent restraint, instead of,
as now. holding wide open doors and
taking it's pick OF locations in the city,
and the general welfare has been
guarded and promoted. If we compare
the parties there is no incentive to the
prolongation of the existing condition
of things and every reason to prefer
change back to Republican prin-
ciples.
Personally, the opposing candidates
for mayor are both men Of experience
in municipal affairs, but, while the
Democratic nominee has been known
as the COunCilmanic champion of the
corporations and is today in receipt OF
their support, the Republican nominee
has stood w for the common people.
His attitude in councils on questions
involving the disposition of public
privileges has been favorable to the
people as opposed to those who would
enrich themselves at the peoples eX-
pense, and for this he is entitled to
the votes of the people
The campaign has been quiet, but the
concluding week should not pass with
out careful study of the situation by
each taxpayer The affairs of the city
are in bad shape; taxation is burden
some. public Conveniences are few, the
police department is disorganized, the
streets when cleared of snow, will be
in horrible condition; and, unless an
administration with a head to it is
called to power one week hence. Scran-
ton will begin to travel on the down
grade instead Of pushing forward tC
increased prosperity and prestige. The
voter should think of these things.

A scrap of Scrubbed Paper.

Today the senate at Washington will
consider the McEnery resolution affirm
ing our purpose with reference to the
Philippines. This resolution reads: "Re-
solved, That by the ratification of the
treaty Of peace with Spain 1t is not in
tended to incorporate the inhabitants
Of said island into citizenship of the
United states, nor is 1t intended to
permanently annex said islands as an
integral part of the territory OF the
United States. But 1t is the intention
Of the United States to establish on
said islands a government suitable to
the wants and conditions of the inhab-
itants of said islands, to prepare them
for local government. and in due
time to make such DISPOSITION of said
islands as will best promote the inter-
ests of the citizens of the United States
and the inhabitants of said islands"
The objections to a resolution of this
kind are that it is ineffective, almost
meaningless and therefore useless; and
that its adoption at this time might
embarrass instead of aid the executive
in his task of putting down insurrec-
tion and compelling order in the Phil
ippnes. y resolution of the senate
passed in 1899 would have no force
whatever in 1900 or any subsequent
year if in the meantime conditions and
public opinion had undergone substan-
tial changes. Its presentation now is
only partly in good faith, while it un-
dOubtedly expresses the prevalent
popular belief at this time. it is offered
and supported by men aiming a politi-
cal blow at a Republican president, and
it's enactment would he equivalent to
saying that a majority of the senate
does not have confidence in the patri-
Otsm and good judgment of the chief
eXecutive-a statement which, when
put in this form, is obviously not true,
our future in the Philippines may
well be left to the future. There is no
need of haste in defining the limits of
our intervention or subsequent jurisdic-
tion. The duty of the hour is to put
down armed insurrection; liberate trade
and the pursuits of peace from the ter
rorism of a native dictatorship imposed
upon the people of the Philippines
through deception and by force; set in
motion the fundamental energies of
Anglo-Saxon civilization and then give
attention to how the experiment works.
To this end the senate of the United
States might much better be engaged
| in passing the army reorganization and
! the Pacific cable bills than in wasting
! precious time in a fruitless debate over
| qualifying resolution which, passed
| or unpassed is nothing more than a
| scrap of scribbled paper.

One Drawback.

The committee appointed by the last
Republican county convention in Lu-
2erne county to formulate a new set of
party rules based on the Crawford
county primary system has made pub
lie its report This report differs little
from the rules now i'm vogue in Lacka-
wanna county. We note, however one
ment if retained, feature also in the
local rules but in need of revision.
In reference 10 the registration Of
candidates the drafted rules require
each candidate To register in person;
10y inference no candidate can be regis
tered by proxy. Yet il frequently hap
pens. more especially in city elections.
that the men best qualified for public
office are men least willing to appear
as active seekers of office. In the re-
cent municipal canvass for the nOmina-
tions in this city an effort was made
on two or three occasions to secure
the entrance into the field of men more
than ordinarily fitted for public honOrs
These gentlemen We're willing to accept
If nominated and We're willing that
their friends should enter their names.
hut We're unwilling to appear before
the community as active aspirants.
Under the ruling of Chairman Chitten-
den such vicariouS registration was
prohibited Mr. Chittendcn was doubt
less correct in his reading of the rules,
yet it is apparent that the requirement
Of personal registration is not an essen
tial condition to the success of the
Crawford county system but may upon
certain occasions operate to discourage
instead Of facilitate the selection of the
best men for office. 1t is not necessar-
lily a dishunor to be an ofliee seeker
but very often the men who are the
most persistent in their pursuit of Office
are men least qualified TO reflect credit
upon the community if elected, and in
many cases it would be a genuine relief
to the people If they could draft some
retiring citizen of good character and
qualities and make il his duty to ac-
cept, In municipal campaigns es
pccially a rule which compels every
candidacy to be self-assertive is OBJ
Viously calculated TO benefit the active
politicians and handicap the business
element.
Our neighbors in Luzerne, II we may
judge from the optimistic expressions
Of their principal newspaper, are look
ing forward 10 the installation of tn,
direct primary system with enthusias
tic anticipation and will be disap
pointed If it does not work miracles il
political regeneration. Let us trust tina
their fond expectations may all be re
allied.

Even in respect of the weather we are

For a Pacific Cable,

lnasmuCh as two years at least will
be required for the completion of
Pacific cable line after it's authorize
ton by congress, and in view of the
growing necessity for speedy commu-
nicatiOn between the government at
Washington and the American officials
in Hawaii. at Guam and in the Philip
pines, the special message of the presi-
dent urging the present congress to
take the initiative in this important
matter is fully justified. In this mes
sage the executive says:
Such communication should be es-
tablished in such a way as to be wholly
under the control Of the United States,
whether in time of peace or war. At
present the Philippines can be reached
only by cables which pass through
many foreign countries, and the Ha-
waiian islands and Guam can only be
communicated with by steamers, in
Volving delays in each instance of at
least a week. The present conditions
should not be allowed to continue for
moment longer than is absolutely
when a cable in the Pacific must eX-
tend as far as Manila, touching at the
Hawaiian islands and Guam on the
way. Two methods of establishing this
cable communication at once suggest
themselves-hrst, construction and
maintenance of such a cable at the eX-
pense of the United States government,
4 4,
! tenance of such a cable by a private
| United States corporation under such
! safeguards as congress shall impose
| do not make any recommendation to
! congress as to which of these methods
would be the more desirable"
Expansionists and anti-eXpansion-
| lists should be as one on the proposition
here set forth, For considerable time
at least American soldiers will do po-
! lice duty in the principal islands of
the Philippine group and the question
of time in exchanging information be-
! tween them and their superior officers
at Manila and in Washington is likely
to be at any time a question Of life or
death, Then, too, private interests re-
quire facilities for quick correspond
ence. The newspapers which keep the
people informed as TO what is going
on in this far off corner of the world
the shippers whose caTgoes are q,
stake; traders Of various kinds and
friends and relatives of Americans in
these distant places all are interested
in having congress act promptly or

people will expect a cable bill to pass
ere this congress adjourns.

the case. Enactments OF this character in
