GREATEST 11ANo AMERICANS.
Edltor of The Trihiinn.

Editor of The Tribune.
Dear Sir: Was much Interested in your
article on the fifty greatest living Amerl-
cans in Saturdays Tribune and consider
your list a much better one than that
which appeared In Success, but in my es-
ttmatlon no list can be complete that does
not contain the name of the man who has
done more for suffering humanity than
any other American living or dead. 1
REFER to DIR. A. \. Still, the originator and
promulgator of the science of osteo-
pathy, the system of manipulative thera-
peutics that is destined to revolutionize
the practice of medicine and which has
already had such phenomenal growth and
met with such unalloyed success that
more than twenty of the great states of
our Union have granted 1t legal recogni-
tion and others are preparing to follow
suit.
Hundreds Of our most prominent and
brainiest men, such Jas Samuel l.. Glenn
ems. Opic Read and Senators Foraker and
Platt, have investigated, tested and then
-espoused its cause.
Osteopathy has rescued thousands of
people who under old methods were
doomed to life of hopeless invaliiism.
/ can refer you to scores of people right
here In Scranton who have by it been
cured Of afilictions pronounced incurable
by all systems previous to the advent of
osteopathy Is not the originator of this,
the greatest advance that was ever made
in medicine by any one man, worthy of
a place among the greatest living Ameri-
cans? Ten years hence he will be univer-
sally proclaimed zone of the greatest of
the great"

~ HE BUSINESS side of the va
cation movement forms the
II subject of an interesting bull
letin issued by the depart
ment of labor. Its figures are for New
Hampshire alone, one of the smallest
of the states which attract the summer
recreation seeker abundantly. But it
appears that to entertain the $4,000
vacationists who visited that state in
1899 an investment of $40, ,442, 1862 in sum-
mer property was necessary; 1854 per-
sons had to be employed exclusive of
those engaged in transportation, their
wages amounting to $539,9O1; the money
spent by these $4,000 tourists amount
ed to $4,947 1885, or $32 apiece on the
average; and the total volume of sum-
mer business and current investment
for that one year was $6,6O9,36 If fig
ures for the entire country and for 9TH
er countries were available it would
undoubtedly be found that the Ameri-
can is quite as energetic and extrava-
giant at play as he is at work. Yet let
us not begrudge what he spends in this
way. 1t is, upon the whole, a splendid
investment for all concerned. If it
were not made, the tension of modern
life is such that our asylums for the
debilitated or the insane would be in
adequate to accommodate all who
would need sequestration and treatment
for broken down physical and nervous
strength.

A VOICE FROM WISCONSIN.
Editor of The Tribune.

Sir: In yours of the 10th you struck
the keynote in the matter of the Wiscon-
sin state convention that snubbed, or tried
to, the Hon. j. c. Spooner, who stands
second to no man In the United States
senate. That act was Il twin brother to
their act In raising $1,000 for the La
Toilette fund on the condition that they
would side-track l.. ID. Harvey for the
office of superintendent of the common
schools. The mopey came from book
publishing company from the east. Mr..
Harvey has had that office for the past
four years and has brought about many
needed improvements, and he is asked by
nine-tenths of the teachers OF the state
to become II candidate as an independent
The school interests of the state will sus-
tain great loss II he Is not reelected.
AS far as Senator Spooner is concerned
not only the state of Wisconsin will feel
1t most keenly. but the whole United
States will miss him In the hall OF this
nation. The call comes from many states
for his return. When the administra-
tion was in kink all eyes were turned
to him.
Many excuse the La Toilette machine
for its dirty work by saying 1t is an off
year. l am not one of those that accept
that explanation. | was born In Scranton,

Writing in the Worlds Work of
West Point and It's work, Frederick
Palmer says: "There is no jealousy Of
the classmate who rises by merit. At
the mention at the alumni meeting Of
the name of Brlgadier General Frank
lin Bell, first lieutenant of cavalry at
the outset of the Spanish war, men who
had once ranked him cheered with a
whole heart. They knew the man and
knew that he had worthily won his star.
The most unpopular brigadiership Of
recent times was not that of either
Wood or Funston, non-graduates, but
of graduate who was honored for a
name and not for the work he had
done" The tendency to give the fat
positions in the military service to
mediocre sons of distinguished fathers,
somewhat prominent not long ago, is
happily disappearing and we trust that
soon merit alone will determine promo
tions.

Prosperity and Who Got 1t.

y" HE ENDEAVOR of the DEM
oeracy in the coming fall
Il campaign will be, not so
much to deny the wonderful
prosperity which has manifested itself
since the first election of William Nc
Kinlcy--a prosperity directly contrast
ing with the famine conditions under
tirover Cleveland administration and a
Democratic tariff-but to al.ege before
workingmen and farmers that this
prosperity is limited to few; that it
Is confined among trust magnates and
irlonopolists and has not got out among
the people. But it will be a sorry at
tempt. because the facts are against It.
From time to time we shall show what
the facts are; at present we wish to call
attention to just one point.
s The year 1896 was 81 good crop year.
The year 1901. with the exception Of
wheat, was poor crop year. Yet the
value to the farmer of Republican as
compared with Democratic times Is
6hown in the following comparison of
crop values:

Tim. to Do Som etl1ing.

HE TIME has clearly arrived
in the progress of the an
thracite strike when the
operators should either sub
nit to the unions terms or pitch in
and lick it if they can. In a little while
three months of idleness will have been
registered. The commercial life of the
coal fields has weathered this period
admirably, but it cannot be expected to
relish IL prolongation if there is way
of escape, and it should not be punished
unnecessarily.
The clay back and do nothing pol
icy of the operators had usefulness in
the early part of the strike. Then it
contributed to protecting the peace.
No doubt it is a sure method of WIN
ming now. Without question the big
railway and coal companies could, If
they were so disposed, keep their mines
closed down all winter. They have suf-
ficient resources to see them through
But it must not be forgotten that the
starvation plan not only Furnishes the
miner who voted against the strike as
Well as lne mine worker VINO nelpeu TO
precipitate it, but it also throws a
heavy and undeserved burden upon the
public, both in the coal regions and
elsewhere. In a thousand directions the
congestion in anthracite pinches other
industry and commerce, as we'll as
menaces future control of what has
hitherto been the anthracite market
The operators, or at least some of
them, say they can resume mining at
will. If that is true, it is their duty to
do it. If they try and are hindered,
then the responsibility is transferred
from their shoulders to the shoulders
of those who obstruct Until they do
their best to open up, they must rest
under charge of indifference not only
to the interests of consumers but like
wise to that percentage of former en-
p!oyes, be it large or small, which has
had enough of idleness and wants the
opportunity to become once more self
supporting.

wAYs1DE NOTES.

The mules have now been out to pas
ture about three months. The feed has
been good and the long-eared quardru-
peds are having the time of their lives.

any concessions whatever that will
abridge their vacation.
The way in which some political editors
and speakers cling to issues which are
practically dead and buried reminds one
of Henry Ward Beechers story of his
dog Noble, which he (Beecher) told to IL
lustrate some point in an address. The
dog, 1t will be remembered, was chasing
some small game-probably a woodchuck
which escaped into a hole under a stone
wall. For months afterwards, Noble,
when time hung heavily on his hands, or
he felt as If he must show his usefulness,
would go and bark furiously at the hole.
But the story does not state that he ever
saw the woodchuck again.
Ex-Chief of Police Devery's entrance
into politics makes things quite lively
and entertaining in the metropolis. Dev-
cry has never been accused of having
such an element as conscience in his
makeup, but he certainly has some
qualities which make him as public en-
Falstaff. 1t will be interesting to see
how he succeeds in his efforts to down"
some of the experienced politicians whom
he has bucked against.
1t Is curious anomaly that speculation
in grain has brought about-that corn and
oats, which are normally from one-half
to two-thirds the value of wheat, have
been quoted in Chicago at about on a
par with the latter grain, and, in fact,
corn actually passed wheat at one time.
1t is to be hoped that the farmers may
get some advantage out of this paper
speculation.
The statements OF one or the other. or
both, parties in the Strong-Yohe episode,
have been economical of truth to degree
that Is astonishing.
