GROW BEPrBLIClX COUNTY CONVENTION. Pursuaut to a meeting of the Republican County Committee held on July 1st. the concty convection will fce held on luesoay, September 4. at 10 o'clock a. in the court house at Scranton for the purpose of placing in nomination candidates for the following mentioned offices, to be voted for at the next general election on Movant oer isv, to wit: Congress (11th Congressional district.) Judire district Sheriff, Treasurer, Clerk of Courts.

Pro thonotary. District Attorney, Recorder of Deeds, Register of Wills and Jury Conimis Vigilance committees will hold delegate elections on Saturday, Septemlier 1.

D. W. PowF.tA, Chairman.

Attest J. W. Bkowmxg, End of the Suspense. "With the close of this ifveek will end the suspense andj uncertainty that have held the busiuess intere3t5i of the country in thraldom for more than a year. For more than a twelve moa'Jhs the Democratic party, in full power in every branch of the national government, has left the nation in doubt nd uncertainly as to what they would do.

President Cleveland has seen lit to lengthen out tbl suspense to the last day in his power. He could have curtailed this expense at least ten daw. but with his customary perversentfis he has prolonged the distress to tlie last day. The limit has been reached and after to day the country will know flfhat it has to face. Even up to tbis morning there was more or less doubt in the minds of some people as to the final purpose of the president.

The more generally accepted opinion prevailed that he would permit the tariff bill to become a law by neither signing nor vetoing it At the same time no great surprise ould be felt if he should even to day sea4 in a veto. The period has been, reached when the president has been in 'A manner discounted. The business interests of the country are bracing themselves for whatever may come. In expectation that the senate tariff bill will become a law prudent men have shaped their affairs accordiug. 3y.

Mr. Cleveland canuot prolong the distress and uncertainty beyond the present week. A new era will commence with the new week, with the certainty that either the old or the new tariff act will then be the settled basis on which to resume Operations. If the Democratic bill as now seems inevitable, there will be strikes and continued discontent for a season in some branches of Industry, but this cannot continue for tiny length of time. The priee of many of the necessaries of life will undoubtedly be still further reduced, and the wages of labor will come down in the same or even greater proporton.

Some time will be ro quired to adjust these changed conditions, but before many weeks all classes of people and all business interests will adapt themselves to the inevitable and a rsturn of at least a measure of prosperity may confidently be expected, This country' will not go to wreck and ruin whether the economic policy of the government be on a Republicau or a Democratic bisis. Experience has demonstrated that tlie Republican policy of Protection is conducive to activity and prospcrty, while the reverse Doniocratic anti Protection policy fcrings stringency and distress, but the country has lived through more than one such era and will live through the present one. 4 Both houses of cougr ess yesterday adjourned over until Monday, after having passed a resolution for final ad journment next Tuesday. It seems to be generally accepted that t'uo president will neither sign nor vctJ the tariff bill, and it will therefore becomo a law on Monday. Keither house can now command a quorum and what little business has been transacted the past few days was by unanimous consent The new recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia has already become involved in trouble with the Civil Service Commission.

The recorder is the somewhat famous Kansas negro Democrat, C. H. J. Taylor, appointed by Mr. Cleveland, and whose nomination was hung up in the senate for a long time and finally confirmed only against strong opposition.

It seems that about the first thing Mr. Taylor did after becoming settled in bis office was to strike employes about the several departments for "contributions" for "political purposes." There was complaint on the part of some cf the victims, and they made known their grievance to the Civil Service Commissioners. A very thorough investigation followed, the report on which has Las been sent to the president. The commissioners found that all the charges against Taylor were fully sustained and they therefore recommend bis immediate removal from the office of recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia. Taylor will make a vigorous defence and try to retain his lucrative (ffice, and it is by no means certain that the president will remove a subordinate for an offense of which the highest officials under the present administration have been equally guilty.

Taylor was a little more reckless than the average, and more urgent in bis domands for boodle for "political purposes," but otherwise he has only followed in the well trodden path of the bigger Democratic leaders. It is pretty safe to predict that Taylor will continue to hold his office. An Investigation that Investigated The house.committee.of which Amos J. Cummlogs ofj New Tork is chairman, charged with the investigation of the alleged armor plate frauds, have made their report, nnd it differs from a great majority of similar documents in that it bears pretty conclusive evidence that there has been an investigation that investigated. This committee seems not to have had any use for the whitewash pail and brush.

The report is to the point, and the point is that the committee found abundant evidence of fraud on the part of the contractors who furnished the armor plates, and carelessly and negligence on the part of the officers whose duty it was to protect the government against fraud. This extract from the commitee's report shows its general tenor and conclusions: "The efforts of the company and of its superintendents, Corey and Schab, have been to satisfy the committee that the armor is np to the requirements of the contract, notwithstanding the false reports to inspectors, doctoring the specimens, plugging of plates, etc. The unblnsing character of the frauds to which these men have been parties, and the disregard of truth and honesty which they have shown before the committee, render them unworthy of credence. This will not be misunderstood by any one. The frauds were proven to the satisfaction of the committee, and the next question is: What is the government going to do about it? If the gov ernment's own inspectors had done their duty faithfully and intelligently the frauds would have been discovered early enough to have prevented any of the fraudulent plates being used on the The frauds would have gone on to the present time, in all human probability, but for the fact that some of the employees of the Carnegie company be trayed their employers.

If this report of the Cummings committee is to be accepted as true and just, then it is apparent that the money penalty imposed by the president on the Carnegie company was wholly inadequate to the of fense. In fact, the committee's report says: "Both the company and the government inspectors are culpable. These frauds are crimes for which no fine or money compensation can adequately atone." This is severe language and clearly alleees the commission Of offenses which the navy department cannot ignore nor treat with indifference. Con cress is on the point of adjourning and will not be likely to take action on the report. Secretary of the Navy Herbert is the man who is looked to for prompt and decisive action.

The Carnegie company is still at work on contracts. The committee is convinced that some of the defective armor plates are on our war ships. It is proposed to remove some and subject them to the government tests. If what is suspected proves to be well founded, it is a question whether some of our new war ships will not have to be re a rmored. State Arbitrators.

Massachusetts has a board of state arbi trators whose duty it is under the law to take cognizance of all strikes, and endeavor to amicably and fairly adjust dif ferences between employers and em ployees. The law creating the board recognizes the principle that neither em ployers nor employees can be compelled to submit to arbitration, and when a strike occurs the board at once meets and notifies both sides in controversy that the arbitrators are prepared to meet and give a hearing to duly constituted representative! cf employers and employees, with a view to a speedy and amicable adjustment of differences. A strike on an extensive scale has been inaugurated by the textile workers at New Bedford and sev eral other industrial centres of Massa chusetts. There happens in this instance to be a well defined cause for the strike. The manufacturers proposed to reduce the wages of certain of their employees about ten per cent.

The workmen re fused to accept the reduction. This strike was inaugurated on Monday and on Wednesday morning the board of state arbitrators notified both sides that they were ready to undertake a settlement of their differences. The advocates of what is called com pulsory arbitration are in the habit of ridiculing the system of arbitration as it xists in Massachusetts and some other states, because it is not com pulsory but in the nature of a confer. euce with impartial, disinterested and intelligent men acting in the capacity of advisors and representatives of the public interests. If the Massachusetts manufactures and their striking imployees shall both accept the services of the state boar of arbitration, and public senti ment will doubtless constrain them to do so, an adjustment may follow.

If, after a full and impartial hearing, the arbi trators render a decision that has every appearance of justice and fairness, neither side to the controversy can reject it without incurring public condemna tion and the loss of all public sympathy. Such being the case it can readily be seen that arbitration, though it is not com pulsory, may be effective. The Massachusetts manufacturers may think that "there is nothing to arbitrate," but they will not say so. Public sentiment demands whenever and wherever a great strike occurs that every reasonable effort be put forth to end it cs speedily as possible. If a state board of arbitrators can be of use in that direction then every state should be provided with such a board.

If the state arbitrators shall be instrumental in bringing about a speedy and an amicable adjustment of the strike in Massachusetts nou comp ulsory arbitration will have achieved a signal victory. In the matter of the armor plate frauds it now appears that the government inspectors are entitled to no small share of the blame for the success that attended the acceptance of defective or fraudulent plates. The inspectors may not have been in league with the manufacturers, but it is evident that they were either incompetent or negligent. It is no longer denied that plates which should bave been rejected were not only accepted but are now in placo on some of THE SCEA3TTON BEPTJBLICAN, SATTTnDAY JXOBUTXG, AUGUST 25. 1894.

our boasted war ships. Now ietfltbe gov ernment deal with these negligent or in competent public servants. If they were participants in fraud they should be severely punished, if careless ornegli. gent they should be reduced and put in disgrace. The facts are not all out yet.

Hoke Smith as a Raider. The announcement comes. from Washington, that Hoke Smith, theJSecretary of the Interior, contemplates a raid on the Grand Army of the Republic, and ex pects to capture the old badge wearers when they are assembled In their annual encampment at Pittsburg next month. This is a daring scheme, and he trusts to Pension Commissioner Lochren to carry the plans through to a successful issue. Hoke has conceived the notion that if the Grand Army men only understood his pension policy they would endorse it and give him a clean bill of health.

Lochren, who is himself a veteran and we believe a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, is to explain Hoke's pension policy to bis comrades, convince them that the pensioners have never before had so good and disinterested a friend at the bead of the pension department as Hoke Smith is, and then they will be expected to adopt resolutions endorsing Hoke and bis pension policy. All of which only demonstrates that Hoke Smith is not very well acquainted with the men who compose the Grand Army of the Republic He will be better acquainted with them presently if he undertakes to carry out his scheme for the capture of the national encampment If Lochren or anybody else attemps to spring upon the encampment a resolu tion endorsing Hoke Smith's pension policy there will follow one of the liveliest episodes ever witnessed in a gathering of the war veterans. That encampment will doubtless contain numerous crippled old fellows whose pensions have been suspended or reduced by Hoke Smith. They will be heard from, and so will tbeir more fortunate comrades. If Hoke Smith wants his policy endorsed he had better go before the next reunion of ex Confederates.

They will endorse him in a minute. BRIEF CEMENTS. Senator Quay's "few remarks" on the tariff question make a volume of some few hundreds of pages. It will be useful as a tariff text book for the rising young politician. The managers of county fairs will do General Hastings a great favor if they will consult him before they put him on their bills for an address.

The General will be pretty busy this fall and may not be able to speak at all the county fairs, especially when three or four occur at the same time hundreds of miles apart. Hoke Smith will have something to boast of when he captures the G. A. R. encampment at Pittsburg next month.

The very thoucho of it makes the old soldiers grin. Cleveland has sent out his usual warning to office seekers that they are not wanted at Gray Gables. When he wants to see any ot them he will send for 'em. The Chicago little boys must.be a very tongh lot, If they caused all those wrecks and burned all those freight cars, as was testified by a Chicago officer before tne strike commission. A Western paper remarks that "all the glorious old war governors are now dead and in glory." What's the matter with our own Andy Curtin 1 He is as lively as a cricket.

George M. Pullm an is soon to become the father in law of a German princelot. That fact may have constrained Pullman to practice economy. The gold reserve has increased a trifle and Secretary Carlisle is happy. He doesn't know exactly how it happened but there is a little more gold in the treasury than there was a week ago.

Kow is the time for Democrats who are willing to accept a place on the state ticket for ccngressman at large to notify Chairman Stranahan. No rush is anticipated, but first come first When President Cleveland returns to Buzzard's Bay he intends to remain until October, and does not intend to worry fbout public business. Josiah Quisct will not serve as chairman of the Democratic state committee of Massachusetts this year. He suspects that there is going to be an avalanche. PROMINENT PEOPLE.

Bradford Merrill, formerly of Philadelphia, has been elected vice president and general manager of the New York Press. The Khedive of Egypt like the Chinese Emperor, takes more stock in his mother's advice than in that of any other of his counsellors. Ouvk Schreiser, South Africa's one writer of commanding eminence, seems to be saddest when she writes. Her books are mnch that way. Miss Pollard is to make her debut in a play called "Moths," which suggests that dramatic art is in need of a plentiful supply of camphor.

B. Petropavloskx, one of the civil engineers in charge of the construction of the great Siberian railroad, and his wife, have arrived in San Franci6co from Siberia by way of Yokohama. Professor Beyer, a New Orleans natur alist.bas had himself bitten by a rattlesnake in the hope of proving that the gradual absorption of the poison in the system is not necessarily fatal. The house in which Lindley Murray was born, on the Swatara, near Harrisburg, this state, about 150 years ago, still stands, it is said. The grammar that gavo him his name doesn't Mrs.

Lynn Lixton is the latest claimant of the honor of being the first woman to be regularly connected with the daily pressj She says that when she was 23 years old she was a member of the staff of the Loudon Daily Chronicle. Sir Gilbert Greesall, who died early this month, at Warrington, bad represented his borough in parliament for thirty years, but the records show no evidence that he ever made a speech or a motion, or even aaked a question in the house in all that period. Mme. Adam, who went to Paris from the provinces an unknown young widow, and at a bound leaped into reputation by her little book (probably the best she has written) in which she scored Prudhon and his low estimate of womankind, remains to day probably the most conspicuous woman in France. Kenneth Bazemore had the good fortune to receive a small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy when three members of bis family were sick with dysentery.

This one small bottle cured them all, and he bad some left which he gave to George W. Baker, a prominent merchant of the place, Lewiston, N. and it cured him of the same complaint. When troubled with dysentery, diarrhoea colic or cholera morbus, give this remedy a trial and you will be more than pleased with the result The praise that naturally follows its introduction and use has made it very popular. 33 aDd SO cent bottles for sale by Matthews druggists, 320 Lackawanna a venae.
