The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-11-12

Few of us need corcern ourselves
with the remoter years, when the
crowd will be so thick that
men will have to jump six feet
or higher into the air to find
room in which to turn around;
but the prediction of nearly 200. 900. 900
population for 1850 appeals to the i'm
agination and self interest of those
whose expectancy of life reaches be-
yond that date. Perhaps a third Of
the Americans now alive will be liv-
ing then and the prospect of partici-
pating in the great activities and de-
velopments of the intervening years
is, as Professor Holden in a current
comment points out. we'll calculated to
inspire them.
If this general ratio of increase
should apply locally, Scranton in
1850 would have close to 25O.O0O
population, but such n result cannot
be expected unless our citizens who
have means put their spare change to
work In projects of local development.
The departure of industries from
Scranton to other communities is a
recent sign of the times by no means
reassuring. Effort to counterfeit this
tendency is needed and needed badly.

QUAY's RETURN FROM ELBA

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Claims and counter-claims with regard to the
Pennsylvania senatorship 60 on vigorously. but
without much effect on the public estimate OF
the situation. While the fusionists claim Quay

that he won most of the places where they gave
him battle and where lie not given battle
the Republican candidates were already pledged
t5 him by the state platform.
The Philadelphia North Amercan.which speaks
for Mr.. Wanamaker, says that the anti-Quay
managers did not reveal their whole strength,
that some who ran and were elected as Quay
men or stalwarts will vote against him when
the time comes. We take small stock in this.
Quay, Stone, Reeder Durham and the rest OF
the state machine are apt to know their men
beforehand Besides, there will be no such ex.
cuse for boltng Quay next January as existed
last time, when he was under indictment at
Philadelphia and the cry mo Trial, No Caucus"
was good justification for revolt. Since then he
has been rehabilitated by the court and en-.
dorsed by his party, and his men have sue.

sCRANToN's NAME.

David c. Harrington in the Philadelphia Press.
I notice in a recent issue of the Press an ac.
count OF the death OF Rev. j. d. Mitchell, with
the statement that he formerly resided in Scran.
ton and had been largely instrumental in chang.
ing the name OF that place from "Sleepy fol
low" to "Scrantonia" and afterward "ScrHn.
ton" Your correspondent is in error, as the
place was never called 'Sleepy Hollow" 1t was
named "Slocum's Hollow" after Joseph Slocum,
one OF the early settlers there. Ills sister was
the little girl that was captured in the Wyoming
Valley by the Indians ami carried west. She
was adopted by the Indians and married an In
dian chief. She was found through the efforts
OF the late Hon. John ". Forney, while he was
editor of the Press, and her identity established
by her brother, Joseph, who subsequently visited

lished and its first name was Harrison after
President Harrison. BY both these names knew
it as early as 1910.
The name "Scrantona' was adopted and used
but very short time, when it was changed to
Scranton" the latter being its name when it
was incorporated as borough. When the city
Of Scranton was incorporated it included within
its limits the borougls of Scranton Providence
and Hyde Park and the townships of Providence.
Mr. Mitchell was man Of large, commanding
presence, and. If memory serves me right was
the first Presbyterian minister to live in what
was the borough of Scranton, although the Rev.
n. G. Parke, OF Wyoming, had preached there
for some time and established Presbyterian
church.
| knew Mr. Mitchell from 1889 until he left
Scranton. lie was the pastor OF what is now the
First Presbyterian church, and many Of his
friends still residing in the city Of Scranton will
remember his labors there.

He Was Going.

TT WAS one'horse wagon loaded with boxes
and barrels, and the driver suddenly turned
into the curb and got down and stood of a few
feet and looked earnestly at the horse. Four
or five pedestrians came to q halt, and one Of
them promptly called out:
"That horse has got chill and you ought to
unhitch him."
Its case of bots" added second.
"He's got the blind staggers. or I don't know
anything about horses" put in third.
The four or five pedestrians grew to Ave or
ten, and ten to twenty or thirty.
'IIe's balky, eh?" quercd fat man, as he
forced his way into the crowd.
''IIoller in his ear!' shouted q boy who was
up on balky horses.

be born leader of men.
The crowd grew to fifty, eighty 100, and the
street was blocked. Men examined the wheels
on the wagon. the feet Of the horse and the
harness The driver stood there with lines and
whip in hand, and said nothing and made no
move until policeman forced his way into the
crowd and exctedly asked:
''Now then, what's all this about? What's
the matter herc?"
"Nuthn," was the calm reply.
''Horse sick?'
"Naw"
''Is he balky?"
'Naw"
''rhen why don't you so onS'
'Im goin."
And he put his loot on the huh Of front

Walter .wellman, Of the Chicago
Times Herald, in a recent article said:
ALREADY Republican leaders OF the
better sort admit that they have
learned one great lesson In this cam
paign. The danger to the Republican
party is that, rightly or wrongly, 1t is
regarded by many men as the party Of
the rich, the party Of the trusts, the
party Of the favored classes, the party
of the money power. II the Republi-
can party Is to save itself from defeat
in the near future 1t must not only
purge itself of whatever tendencies 1t
may have In this direction. but 1t must
convince the country that 1t is not
travelling that way. 1t must do that
by legislation. 1t must solve the trust
problem. 1t must put a stop to all sus-
picion of alliances with plutocracy. 1t
must modify its tariffs and its war
taxes. 1t must in every way show that
under it's rule there rs to be no up
building of favored classes at the ex-
pense of the masses"
Mr.. Wellmans diagnosis Of the situ-
alton is clearly correct. Organism
went down because It's chief advocate
overdid the role of appellant to class
prejudice and discomfort. But we have
TO go back no further than 1892 to find
a man in the Democratic party who
keyed his indictments of Republican,
ism in just the proper tone to win over
the non-partisan reserves which hold
the balance of power In presidential
elections. Grover Cleveland talked
ponderously of the Communism Of
pelf," and majority listened. The
Republican party cannot always have
Bryan as its opponent. While it has
no reason to fear mere demagogism
when addressed to discomfort, 1t must
take care that just complaint cannot
be laid at it's door, 1t is not foe of
wealth and enterprise. but neither is it
the shield of scoundrelism. Those who
use their wealth to oppress must be
brought to book and the Republican
party must do it's share to bring this
about.

VT is ANNOUNCED with great
positiveness in many places by
many men of high renown that
the Democratic party must be
reorganized. This opinion has been ex-
pressed with two exceptions every four
years since the first election of Abra-
ham Lincoln. 1t is quadrennial fea-
ture of reelection comment among
those who fondly call themselves the
disciples of Thomas Jefferson. We con-
cur heartily in the opinion that a re-
organization of the Democracy would
he highly desirable. 1t is impossible to
imagine government In the United
States without the mechanism Of pOliti-
cal parties and it is evident that when
only one party can be in power at a
time the party out of power, being al
ways liable to get in, should be as good
a party as possible.
But though there is much high
sounding talk of reorganization Of
the Democracy to conform to the glori-
Gus principles of jefferson and jack
son. with an occasional tribute to
Cleveland thrown in, nobody has yet
clearly defined just what it all means
or how the proposed transformation is
to be effected. If it means riddance of
free silver but restoration of free trade,
the wisdom of the change is certainly
debatab If it means a pitching over
of Populism. Socialism and the Till
Altgeld-Pettigrew type of An
archism, with eXtinguishment of dema-
gOgic appeals to the poor to go gun
ming for the scalps and treasures Of
the rich, it is respectable but it means
a frightful loss of votes If it means
doing nothing, proposing nothing,
simply yelling halt" at the Republi-
can procession, it Is interesting on the
score of frankness but hardly import
ant enough to justify the effort.
The eminent gentlemen who are
loudest in their eXhortations to their
Democratic brethren to reorganize are
likely to discover before they are done
with this matter that the rank and file
Is pretty well satisfied with the Democ-
racy as 1t is. Their party has always
been wrong and they are used to it.
Those who prefer to be identified with
constructive and progressive party. a
party OF optimism, a party of expan-
sion. have already enrolled in the Re-
publican column and are under no mar
tlcular temptation to leave it,

r T is EVIDENT that the approach
ing short session of congress will
have it's hands full Ordinarily
the three calendar months of the
second session of congress are occu-
pied almost entirely with talk and
wrangling over the routine appropri-
alton bills. But this time, in addition
to the annual supply bills, some i'm
portant general legislation is pending.
One Of the first measures on the
house calendar is the bill to impose a
prohibitive tax on oleomargarine col
ored to initiate dairy butter. Power
full influences are at work both for
and against this bill and the fight Of
last session will be repeated. In the
senate the Nicaragua canal bill which
passed the house shortly before ad-
journment last summer is a special
order for the first week and it's dis
cussion is bound to include a wide di-
vergence of opinion covering the
ground of contention over the Hay
Pauncefote treaty, which is yet unrati-
fled. Another important subject is the

of the 10000 regulars and $4,000 volun-
teers whose term of enlistment expires
by limitation next July. The country
having declined to be scared at the
campaign cry of militarism. congress
will be expected to fit the number of
regular soldiers to the existing need
and also guard against emergencies.
The ship subsidy bill. congressional
reapportionment with a reduction of
representation where large numbers Of
citizens are disfranchised, and reduc-
ton of war taxes are also themes of
certain discussion if not Of specific ac-
tion; and the new colonial problems
will press heavily upon the short ses-
sion even If the drafting of legislation
for Cuba and the Philippines shall
have to be deferred until the ensuing
congress. Farewell oratory from poll
ticians about to expire is to be expect
ed, and this, with the necessary rout-
inc work, will make up a busy session.

The last Virginia legislature tried
an experiment In the liquor business
which is Of interest. 1t authorized
the establishment, at Franklin, of a
sample dispensary. Whiskey and other
spirits are sold in packages only, the
smallest being half pint, and 1t can
not be drunk within ten feet Of the
dispensary. There can be no entrance
except through the front door, which
Is kept open from sunrise to sunset.
The state gets one-fourth the profits,
and three -eighths go TO the town Of
Franklin for general purposes and
three-eighths for school purposes.
This dispensary was opened six
months ago. In that time, after pay
ing In full for the stock on hand and
meeting current expenses. the board
Of managers have cleared 5000. OF
which $3.50 goes into the state treas
ury. The success Of this experiment,
at least from the revenue point OF
view, Is likely to lead to state assunp-
tion of the saloon business, placing
Virginia in the category with South
Carolina.
