feels about the same interest in
the Patrie incident az IN the
Transvaal war; that is, neither is
our affair. However, lessons
more or less valuable may be
learned from a candid consider
alton of every controversy which
is of sufficient importdnce to en-
gage public attention. One oil
the questions presented by the
Patrie incident is this: Does his
action involve any degree of NOR
al or political turpitude, admitting
the possibility Of political deprav-
ity without moral sin7 Judged
from this point Of view Mr.. Patrie
must be acquitted of offense.
But there is another code, the
ethics of the political machine,
and herein Mr.. Patrie has offend.
The presumption of the machine
code is that once a man becomes
attached to it he must remain
steadfast forever; and If, for any
reason, he should sever his con-
nections, he is condemned and
branded as a traitor to the "cause. I"
Secretary Patrie has unquestion-
ally sinned against the machine.
He has dared to follow his con-
sciences and patriotic instincts ra-
Their than obey the machine's be-
hests. His crime is a most seri-
Gus one and his punishment, in or
der to be adequate, must be Of
the most excruciating quality.
You will observe that Governor
Steunenberg has already denounc-
ed him in measured, but none the
less severe, terms. The power
full and most merciful Sinclair has
corrugated his noble brow until
it presents the forbidding aspect
of a fluting iron, and even Jake
Horn, lifts himself out of the
slough of memories of the past TO
hurl scorn at the man, who, for
the moment, has presumed to be
one "bolt" ahead. But the prim
is held in reserve
for the purpose no doubt of pro-,
longing Mart's misery. Dubois
has not pronounced his judgment.
This will be the last refinement of
retributive justice, The condem-
nation of Governor Steunenberg, |
the CorrugatiOns of the War Min
ster and even the scorn of Horn
might be endured, because each
Of these is yet a "bolt" or two
short and therefore their COM
olaint is not without envious JUS
ification. But how can Mr.. Pat
lie hope to survive the anthemas
If superior "bolter?" Patrie is
'nly an amateur, Dubois, a pro-
essiOnal; Patrie, a pupil, Dubois,
past master; Patrie, a plug
Dubois, a thoroughbred.
We see nothing short of pulveri-
alton awaiting Patrie.

WHy MONEY LENDERS KICK.

November IS, Secretary Gage
announced that his department
was ready to purchase any part
Of all of $2s,ooo,o 900 of govern
ment bonds of the 1907, 4 per
Cents at 112.7S, and the 1904, s
per cents at III. The~criticism
by some bankers at the action of
Secretary Gage in offering to
purchase bonds was expected,
says the Philadelphia Press. "But
the offer was not made to please
the bankers. They are loaning
their funds at higher rates of in
tereSt than they could command
if money could be more easily
obtained. The action of Secre-
tary Gage tends to lower the ex-
cesSive interest rates and thus de-
crease the profits of the money
lenders, and that does not please
all of them"

The fragmentary remnants o
Silver Republican leadership
would seem to be in most desper
ate straits. Listen to this, from
the mouth of Fred Dubois as an
nounced in yesterdays dispatches
There Is no place for the Repub-
lican anti-imperlalism of New Eng
land and the coast to 60 except to
our party.
The assured composition Of the
United States Senate for several
years conVinces them that silver L.
gislatiOn cannot be passed for
many years. On impsri alism and
kindred questions they are one
with us. am satisfied they will
come to as. l expect to see former
GoAernOr Boutwell, OF Massachu-
sets, Edward Atkinson and men
like them sitting IS delegates to
our convention.
Wont that be combinatioa7 If
anything has been heret of ore
lacking to turn the stomachs OF
honest Silver Republicans, that
desideratum no longer ex-
lists. Dubois and Atkinson
lobelia and nux vomica
And what do you think is the
purpose of this "union of reform
ers"9 1t is to be used as a club to
smash the Democrats on the head
if they show any disposition to go
back on silver. Here is strategy
for you; The prophets of silver
united with the minions of gold
bugism, to hold Democracy level
and haul down the American
flag. Fred Dubois says that the
New England Aguinaldo gold
bugs, being assured there will be
no silver legislation for many
years, will cheerfully sit in the
councils of the Aguinaldo silver
bugs, and help them oblige the
Democrats to declare for free sill
yer. When this is done, and the
moment arrives when there is
danger Of silver legislation, then,
Of course, Atkinson and his gang
of long-haired "aunties" will go
over to the other side and help
smash silver. Isn't that a dandy
political scheme. If ell the luna
tics in Blackfoot had put their
heads together they couldn't have
surpassed it, But seriously, does
his not make few things very
plainS Does it not indicate that
The Democrats are becoming so
'haky on the silver question that
heir allies are compelled to look
or means whereby the next
Democratic convention can be
.orced. And, again, does it not |
ook as though Fred Dubois and
political Snags of his ilk are pre-
pairing to relegate tsilver, too7
Atkinson is one of the most rabid
yold bugs in the world, and yet
Dubois tells you that he is going
o make a combination with him
n order to advance the cause of
liver. Imagine a combination
'etween heaven and he'll to pro-
note Christianity. 1t would be a
'arallel case. II there be any
number of American
'eople who are ready to take
ny stock in this Dubo-Atkinson-
an combine, the fool killer has of
ate been criminally negligent of
is business. BY the way, we
would like to inquire what is the
natter with the probate court of
Bingham countya Men seem to
'sue out of Blackfoot who should
ot be at large.

CANDIDATES.

against prospective asplrants
Thus far, we believe, the agitation
in the Republican party is con-
fined TO a few professional schem-
ers and claquerS, and that the
men likely to come up for consid-
Grafton are in nowise responsible
for it. If we were competent
and authorized to instruct the Re-
pnblicans of Idaho, we should say
to them that their first duty is to
consider the success of the party.
That, for the present at least, the
question Of individual candidates
should be left in allegiance. The
Republican party is in no condi-
ton to foment schisms within its
own organization, and every cit
izen loyal to Republican principles
should regard it as a patriotic
duty to discourage every move
ment, every agitation having that
tendency. In connection with
senatorial possibilities the names
of Senator Shoup, w. B. Hey
burn, John T. Morrison and
others have been frequently
mentioned. Every one of these
gentlemen are worthy and hon.
ored, and for all we know each
may have aspirations; but at this
time neither is the candidate of
the Republican party, aud moth
ing could be more unwlse at this
time than for the personal friends
OF these gentlemen to urge their
claims. In fact, we may say,
that we have reliable information
to the effect that it is positively
repugnant to them that such a
thing should be done. They
have; as have all other patriotic
and broadmind leaders, taken the
high stand 4hat party interests are
superior to Individual fortunes;
that the thing to do first is to
make the election of a Republi- |
can Senator possible, and then
leave the selection of the man to
the wisdom of the Legislature.
We would at present caution all
Republicans against attaching |
themselves to the fortunes of any
individual or individuals whatso-
ever. The plain duty of Re-
publicans is to restore this State,
and neither the ambition nor the
personality of any individual
should be permitted to disturb the
the harmony essential to that pur-
pose. The coming contest is
essentially one of principle, and
the question every loyal Repub-
Iican should ask himself or her
self is, In what way can best
Republicanism7 and
not who will make the best SEN
ator or Congressman, or governor
or sheriff, or coroner. We re-
greet to note that there is even an
insignificant element in the Re-
publican party that seems incap-
able of rising to this level. Their
energies are all devoted to the
question of candidates, and while
they are not blessed with the
power of doing much good, they
have faculty for harm. We
would therefore caution Repub-
leans against such. There are
IN every party afew evil geniuses
who, without courage or provo
cation TO publicly criticise, are
constantly, in a sneaking way,
to blacken the names Of
prominent men within their own ,
party. Beware Of these. They
ire vipers. If you would know
hem, ask one of these defamers
o attach his signature to his as
versions and give you leave to
,nblish them to the world. and

BICYCLE CLUB ENTERTAINs.
Second Of the Winter Lyceum Series
Was Given Last Night.

The second OF a series of lyceum en-
tertainments TO be given during the
coming winter was conducted last
evening by the Scranton Bicycle club
In it's club quarters on North Washing
ton avenue.
The entertainers for the occasion
were Alton Packard, cartoonist; Tom
Beynon, tenor, and Bauer's orchestra.
Mr. Beynon. sang two solos, namely,
"Fiona" and THE Sailors Grave" in
splendid voice. The orchestral portion
of the programme was, as is usual
with Bauer's orchestra, thoroughly up
to-date, including as 1t did selections
from Victor Herberts two latest OPP
eras, "Cyrano De Bergerac" and 'The
Ameer."
MIR. Packard, however, was undoubt-
edly the top liner in the audiences
favor. His performance was out Of
this ordinary line in caricature work,
introducing new featuree and new
ideas ALMOST entirely. In addition to
being an exceedingly clever and rapid
artist, he is a humorist as well and
| kept the audience in almost contin-
ual laugh from beginning 10 end.

ALL WANT TO COME BACK
Terms of Ten School Directors Ex-
pire in the Spring-Most of Them
Will Be Returned.

The coming spring election is not
likely to make any very radical changes
on the board of school control, although
the terms of the following expire: A.
l.. Francois, Second ward; Benjamin
j. Williams, Fourth ward; John NJ.
Casey, Sixth ward Charles Zeidler,
Eighth ward; Jacob Schaffer, Tenth
ward; Anthony Walsh, Twelfth ward;
T. j. Jennings. Fourteenth ward O.
b. Schriefer. Sixteenth ward; p. j.
Langan, Eighteenth ward; John Glib
bons, Twentieth ward.
OF this number it would seem from
present indications that T. j. Jennings,
O. b. Schriefer p. J. Langan and John
Gibbons can read their title clear to
another term. Many changes may oc-
cur between now and the spring cleo
tion which may materially change the
aspect of affairs, but from the indica-
| tions ND to date these four will have
| little, if any, opposition. 1t is said that
Messrs. Schriefer and Langan will have
| no opposition either in their own party
| or from the opposition.
All of the other members whose terms
expire will also seek reelection, with
the possible exceptions of Charles Zeid-
| Ter and John M. Casey. They have not
positively declined to be candidates, but
it is understood that they are willing
to retire if good, substantial citizens of
the wards they now represent can be
induced to accept nominations at the
hands of the Democratic party.
The Republicans of the Eighth ward
have already nominated c. c. Ferber,
who will undoubtedly be the next
school controller from that ward. Mr.
Zeidler is probably shrewd enough Ia
discern the handwriting on the wall
If he should decide to seek the Demo-
cratic nomination he will be opposed
by DIR. John O'Malley and John Col
Inns. In the Sixth ward Thomas Muir
ply has announced himself as a candi-
date for the Democratic nomination.

field.
Jacob Schaffer will have opposition
in and out of his own party in the
Tenth ward. and in the Twelfth ward
Anthony Walsh viii be opposed for the
Democratic nomination by Miles Swee.

brated elocutionist and reader from

as entertaining as ever. Like jefferson
in RIP Van Winkle," theater goers
never tire of Murphy in his Kerry

times he essayed a new play, but his
admirers wouldn't have it. He re-
turned to his old loves and the wOnted
crowded houses again greeted him.
Kerry Cow" was the bill he pre-
sented yesterday afternoon and last
night at the Lyceum, to two of the
biggest houses of the season. OF
Kerry Cow" and Murphy nothing
need be said. Suffice it to mention that
the presentation is on the old time
elaborate scale with some new and
highly pleasing features added
Tonight he will be "Shaun Rhue," in
which character you may likl him best.

DEWEY AID ROOSEVELT

From the Boston Herald.
There is a pointed rebuke of Theodore
Roosevelt in what Admiral Dewey says of
Aguinado Roosevelt, 1t will be remem-
bered had just likened Aguinaldo to Sit
ting Bull, when Dewey comes to say OF
this Filipino chief: HE is a pretty smart
fellow. I know him pretty well. In fact,
we were great friends and are, for the
mater of that but he has not the brains.
Here is the difference between absurd
vaporing from the stump and the calm
opinion of an American admiral who knew
the man. The bull-headed folly of Roose-
welt goes so far that, in effect, he includes
Dewey in the list of traitors who are OPP
posing the government In fact, the Ian
guage of Roosevelt upon the Ohio stump
Is so disgusting to the Washington POST
paper in political sympathy with him,
that 1t pronounces it vicious drivef and
chara cterizes 1t as "a strange mixture OF
malice and Stiffness
