PHILBIN. SCRANTOX, NOVEMBER 1, 1B04. Law and the Candidate. "No person holding office under the United States shall be eligible to the office of county controller during his continuance in office us aforesaid, nor until one year thereafter; and the county commissioners, county treasurer, prothonotary, register of wills, sheriff and district attorney, and their chief clerks or deputies, shall be ineligible for two years, to the office of county controller, provided the said' controller sliald always be eligible to re election or appointment." The foregoing Is an extract from the act of the legislature creating the office of county explaining what persons are not eligible to that It is the law on the subject and speaks for Itself. Yet in spite of the provision quoted, the Democratic party took its candidate for county controller from the county commissioners' office.

He is Fred W. Kirchoff, who has repeatedly signed warrants and vouchers as assistant chief clerk, from which. the taxpayers may draw their own inference as to whether under the law ho is eligible to the office. Encouraging the Enemy. The Scranton Times claims that Howell and the entire Democratic county ticket will be elected.

While it doesn't say so in that many words, still the inference to be drawn from its boasting, is that it expects Howell topull all the others through. Who Is it that has inspired the Democratic organ with this hope? Who but the so called Howell Republicans? How do they like the thought of being held responsible for the defeat of all the candidates of their own party? Would they like to contribute to such a result? Not many of them, we take it for granted, would care to assume the credit for such a disaster, yet it Is upon their opposition to the election of the Republican candidate for congress that the Democratic organ bases its hope that the entire Democratic ticket will be elected. Here is something for those members of the Republican party who contemplate voting for Howell to think about They should consider how they are extending encouragement to the enemy and what might be the result of their unfaithfulness. If they will all think the matter over carefully we are convinced that there will be very few Howell (Republicans on election day. Concerning the Contest.

Once more The Republican will state for the benefit of the Scranton that it has not abandoned its attitude on the Howell Connell contest, but has refrained from reiteratinir it in every Issue, nots because of the yawplngs of the Democratic organ, but for the reason that this paper does not deem it necessary to state its position anew every morning. The Repub llcan has said that under the law, had the contest been one that could have been decided in court upon its real merits, Howell would have lost, and in that judgment able 'lawyers who know most about the case, concur. The however, being the judge of the qualifications of its own 'members, in veRtlgated the case, was astonished at the amount of Democratic fraud revealed, and so decided against Howell, whereat the Scranton Times In Its superior wisdom impeaches the house and calls on all the people to help rebuke, that great body because it turned down its man Howell. Under the evidence it couldn't do anything else and keep within the law. The frothing of the Times on thla subject are calculated to excite contempt in the minds of those who have anything like accurate information concerning the matter.

The Republican Is pleased over the encouraging reports It has received concerning the candidacy of William J. Thomas, the Republican nominee for the legislature in the' First dls trict. They reveal that hla election is regarded as practically assured. This mean that the First district will be represented at Harrlsburg by an ac tice, intelligent man who wiir be able to render it most effective service, As Viewed by the Press. In another column of this morning's Republican will be found an editorial taken from yesterday's Philadelphia Press.

1 It deals with the congressional congest in this district, and contains so much good sense that we invite for it the careful attention of our readers. Particularly should it interest those Republicans who are inclined to vote for the Democratic. candidate. The Press takes the view that the contest is not merely a personal matter between Mr. Dale and Mr.

Howell, but conflict of party issues, in which the people, by Voting for the Democratic candidate, must give indorse merit to the Democratic, doctrine that protection is or, by supporting the Republican candidate uphold the Republican protective system, tin der which Lackawanna county Has so magically grown 'and prospered and her many workers have found employ ment." This is the truth" of the matter. The Press has sized up the situation ac curately and its conclusions must ap peal to the good sense of sound Re publicans. It states the real question involved in the fight, and all talk about anything else being a "paramount issue" is plain, unmltigat ed Democratic rot. But read what the Press has to say on the subject and deduce from its arguments your own conclusions as to their soundness or otherwise. They Saw Parker.

A big crowd turned Out to see Judge Parker at. Madison Square Garden, New York, Monday night. "See" is the word, for many did not stay to hear him. The New York Tribune says in its report of the meeting that "the judge had been speaking only' fifteen minutes when the shuffling of a mul tltude of feet indicated that hundreds of his auditors had had enough. The exodus was largely from the rear of the hall.

This happened at 9:35 p. and from that time till the close of the judge's remarks there was a constant ly diminishing audience." It is pot surprising, however, that the judge talked to a dwindling crowd, for there wasn't anything in his speech to en thuse his followers. He talked about a return to old fashioned Democratic ways, told how the Republicans were exacting campaign contributions from the trusts and corporations, but offered not a single atom of proof to sustain the allegation, and. Democratic fashion, gave vent to a mournful calamity howl. He declared that unless a change in industrial conditions is brought about by the restoration of the Democratic party to power, the wage workers would be thrown out of employment and ruin would follow.

We do not wonder that thousands preferred to leave the meeting rather than stay and listen to this kind of rant, for they had heard it before. Bryan indulged in it in 1896 and again in 1900 to no purpose, and Parker will as did the Nebraska statesman, that calamity howls do not elect presidents, Will Try Fraud and Force. Convinced at last that they cannot carry the state by fair means, the Democratic campaign managers of West Virginia are preparing to resort to fraud and force. The state committee has sent a circular to all Democratic election officers "who be concerned with the counting "of the votes, instructing them to reject all ballots favorable to the Republicans wherever there is the slightest technical irregularity in the markings, and to accept all Democratic ballots, no matter how they may he executed." Armed men, it has been learned, will be stationed at all polling places to intimidate and drive away colored voters, and every other possible means that can be employed will be resorted to in the hope of preventing the state from bringing up in the Republican column. Desperate cases demand desperate remedies, and the Democrats of West Virginia are fully determined to employ the latter to the extent of their ability to do so, and that the ballots will be tampered with wherever they control the election machinery can be accepted as a foregone conclusion.

Parker's Great Opportunity. JThe New York Tribune sees an opportunity for Judge Parker to Indulge In a little, we might say, a good deal, of that sort of confession said to be "good for the soul." As is generally understood, the judge has been guilty of a wonderful amount of misrepresentation, and the Tribune thinks that during his speeches this week he might win the applause of fair and honest men by correcting and apologising for numerous misstatements he has made, and which he now knows to have "been such. The Tribune even goes so far as to particularize a number of the instances in which he has, as he must now fully comprehend, offended against the truth. It says he must be aware "that he has monstrously exaggerated the amount, of money spent and the number of live lost In governing the "That he hat gravely misrepresent ed the facts as to national expenditures nnd tho deficit. That when he accused the' administration, of suppressing, department estimates and declared it was Impossible to ascertain how the THE SCRANTOX WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1904.

revenues were bing expended he was densely and culpably ignorant. That when he quoted McKinley on reciprocal trade. arrangements he garbled and distorted the Buffalo speech of September 6, 1901. "That in the effort to sustain his original blunders In respect to the common law and the trusts be smartly cited a decision of the supreme court which at once' proved to be "That the president's pension order, which he condemned as an encroachment, on the legislative power and therefore jun narranted by the was strictly within the latv and amply by precedents, both Republican and Democratic. "That the statement for which he made himself responsible, describing the condition of things in the Philippines as hideous and disgraceful to this country, has been refused on 'the highest authority, and that in' snatching, at the testimony of a single whose claims to.

impartiality and importance became ridiculous the moment his name was known, the late Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals caricatured the principles by which he is supposed to have been guided on the bench." There is no doubt but Judge Pav ker knows he has grievously of fended In the particulars mentioned by the Tribune. He certainly cannot be ignorant of a fact now so thoroughly comprehended by every citizen of average intelligence. But will he make the amende honorable as suggested by the Tribune? He has as manifested no disposition to. do so, but on contrary shows an inclination to continue indulging in the grossest misrepresentation of Republican administration in the vain hope of improving his own prospects of election to the presidency. This is the last week for Democratic campaign roorbacks.

Look out for them. A big crop is due. Fred Erhardt, the popular Republi can nominee for representative in the Second legislative district, is also re garded as being as good as elected. He will win out by a large majority, if present indications count for any thing, and will make a popular and efficient legislator. Thomas A.

Hendrlck, Democratic candidate for the legislature in the Fourth district, cannot consistently re proach any Democrat who may vote for his opponent, Hon. P. A. Philbin, Mr. Hendrlck himself is said to have voted for Mr.

Philbin in the latter's former campaigns. At any rate it is no secret that when P. E. Timlin ran against Mr. Philbin, Hendrlck can vassed the upper end of the valley and Dunmore against the Democratic nominee.

The experience which James E. Wat kins has had at Harrlsburg will be of great value to him, as well as to his constituents, when he goes to the state capital as the representative of the ThiHd district. What his majority in the district will be we do not pretend to say, but that it will be" large is conceded by both Republicans and Democrats. He is thoroughly equipped for the post of duty and will take rank among the active and able members of the legislature. Why should a worklnzman.

esnec lally a mine worker, vote the Demo cratic ticket. Scranton Times. Frankly we confess that we know of no reason why any worklngman, be his occupation what it may, should vote the Democratic ticket. But of one fact we are well aware, and that is that some of the alleged reasons mentioned by the Times in its article are an insult to all intelligent and fair minded workingmen and discreditable to the paper that printed them. With this harlequin ticket and timid ly radical platform they have gone to the country, and little by little their well meant disguise has worn Into tat ters and the party appears in its old, familiar shape.

Its reliance is, as of yore, on the solid south, which means an appeal to radical hatred, and on Tammany hall, which means organized corruption. And relying upon these two sources of power they claim the confidence of the country upon grounds that affront the common Intelligence and fatigue the derision of the world. Secretary Hay. The New York Tribune's forecast of the election one week from today gives Roosevelt arid Fairbanks three hun dred and fourteen electoral votes. The only states which it counts as sure to go for Parker are those which constitute the solid South, namely, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana.

Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas' and Virginia. As the Tribune sees It, there are only two doubtful states Maryland and Nevada. Four years ago that paper was very fortunate in its election prediction, and we wouldn't be surprised if its figures this year would be found to be pretty nearly correct.

America the speaker declared, but you can't keep the young men of this country out of China and for this reason I appeal to America to not weary in well doinsr in the foreign mission work. And this is no child's play. The Chinese are jthe most misunderstood people in the world.

They have nevec been conquered, they have not even been impressed. The speaker then gave a graphic word picture of China an its growth, of its people and their customs. He declared that although there had been two previous attempts to spread religion In Chlnahe believed the third and present system of Young Men's Christian association work would go on and on until a glorious victory of Christianity over idolatry and immorality, would be accomplished. 8.

The remains were taken to the home of his brother, John Cunningham, on Penn avenue. OUR CONGRESSIONAL FIGHT. From tne Philadelphia Press. The Lackawanna congressional dls trlct is one that the'Democratlc leaders of the state have had on the doubtful list in this campaign, though it has always elected a Republican congress man In presidential year. There Is nothing, in the situation now to Indi cate any departure from that pre cedent.

The Republicans are exceptionally fortunate in having such a standard bearer as Thomas H. Dale, Both by liis ability and his character he Is qualified In a high degree for the responsible duties which necessarily de volve upon a congressman from so important a district, and there is none In the state more Important; none" with interests more likely to be affected for good or ill by national legislation. Mr. Dale has had a useful experience In the affairs of the count)'. He fully un derstands the people and the require ments of such a constituency, and they know him as a man of Intelligence and energy, inv every woy deserving popular confidence.

In an Issue between Thomas II. Dale and his Democratic competitor, each standing upon his 'respective party platform, 'there can be but one choice for any citizen who takes Into account the welfare of the district, if It weve merely u'. personul coutest.Mr,... Dale i Would be by far the better choice. But it is not that.

It is a conflict of party issues, in which the people, by voting for the Democratic candidate, must give indorsement to the Democratic doctrine that "protection is robbery," or, by supporting the Republican condidate, uphold the Republican protective system, under whlcfi Lackawanna county has so magically grown and prospered and her many workers have found employment. An intelligent appreciation of the difference between these party policies has kept the district steady and faith ful in the past whenever the issue has been directly made. The violent assault on protection in the Democratic platform this year puts every friend of that system on his guard. There is not an interest anywhere through Lackawanna county, whether it be that of the miner, the mill worker, the own er or the merchant, that would not be adversely, even disastrously, affected by the election of a Democratic congressman from that district. Excellent as the situation in the district is, let no friend of protection take any chances or neglect any opportunity to increase tho majority for Thomas H.

Dale. The greater the majority the more decisive will be the answer, to the Democratic declaration that "protection is robbery." DUNMORE. Letters remaining unclaimed during the. week ending October 31, 1904: Mr. Lawrehce T.

A short musical programme THE LATEST MARKET REPORTS. New York Stock Market.

NETIT YORK, Nov. 1. The opening price of Chicago, Milwaukee and St, Paul common stock In the dealings on the stock exchange today was halt a point lower than it was at tho close of business yesterday afternoon. In succession during the day the. stock rallied a point, fell four points and again rallied three and one quarter points, closing at a small net decline.

The movement of all tho leading securities in today's market was not exactly similar to that, of the stock referred to. Not many of them, indeed, fluctuated through so wido a range, and some of them closed at small net advances Instead of declines. Nevertheless, the course of the St, Paul shares may be taken as a fair illustration of tho day's generally excited and variable market. It v. aa evident after the first hour of business that tho liquidation which affected tho market so poworfully yesterday was still uncompleted.

Tho peculiar fervor" of th'o selling at midday was brought about, it was said, by stories that there were indications that something had arisen to balk the negotiations between England arid. Russia over the North Sea incident. All trustworthy information was to the effect that the diplomatic adjustment of the Norh Sea matter was proceeding smoothly. It is highly probable, therefore that today's war scare In the stock market was the pretext rather than the cause of tho selling of stocks that occurred. Both the London and Paris markets were closed, and the course taken by them tomorrow will prove plainly enough whether there Is any substanco in the stories circulated here today.

The range of prices yesterday for tho active stocks on the New Yoijk Stock Exchange was as follows. The quotations are furnished Tho Republican by M. S. Jordan Mears building: Stocks. Open.

After examining the surroundings and questioning several of those who claimed to have witnessed the lire, the coroner took the bones found and will have them tested by experts In the hope of discovering if a human life was lost In the Are. If that fact is fully established the next move will be to discover, if possible, if death was accidental. Since the discovery of the bones, many rumors have been circulated, some of a sensational nature. One story going the rounds is to the effect that when the barn was burning a man was seen to fall from the hay mow into the lower story. Local Stoek Market.
