GEORGE E. STEVENSON, of Waverly. Scranton, Pa, October 22, 1901. We call attention to an article from yesterday's Tribune upon Col. Hitch cock's candidacy, reprinted in another column.

It is a statement of facts which should disabuse false impres eions and prejudice concerning the Re publican contest for the judgeship. Memorial Services. Following precedent the coming Con gress will arrange for memorial ser vices in honor of: the late President McKluley. When the Garfield memor ial services were arranged William Mc Kinley was chairman of the House contingent of the joint committee of arrangements. It is a strange whirl in the wheel of fate that now calls for a new House committee to do honor to the asassinated chairman of the last.

"Who will be the orator of the day," the people are asking. Who of American thinkers, writers, orators is conspicuously fit to pronounce the na tion's eulogy? Buffalo suggests Senator Hoar of Massachusetts; Elmira, Senator Spooner of Wisconsin. James G. Blaine was the orator at the Gar field memorial and the standard that he then established will make the task of the McKinley memorial orator a difficult one. Where Are We At? "Because he became a citizen of the United States and swore to uphold the Constitution of his adopted country, James Jackson, 272 Broadway, Cam bridge, was suspended from membership in the Second Reformed Presbyterian church of Boston." What are we coming to, if this dispatch is a true statement of the case? And note this from the lips of J.

M. Foster pastor of that church: "We look upon the Constitution of the United States as an immoral doeu mnt and as an insult to the Almie htv in that it makes no mention whatever of God, and claims for the people that sovereign power which belongs to God alone. We refuse to accept the Constitution thus defective, and cannot swear allegiance to it. I do not think there is anything in the suggestion that has been made that Mr. Jackson can go to law and compel us to admit him to membership in our church." 1 Perhaps Mr.

Jackson can go to law; perhaps he can not. But, whether or Ho, he can go to the people of this country and make it so hot for the right venerable J. M. Foster that J. M.

will be glad to hustle for a palm leaf under which to hide his blaspheming face in the sands of the Sahara. If J. M. Foster made the remarks attributed to him he may be set down as one of those disgusting and loathsome I am that once in a while find nothing better to do in their mad hunt for notoriety than strut up and down the world with the cap and bells on their heads and Marat's red shirt on their backs. Every little while somebody's massive intelligence gets loose, but it is a long time since such disgusting and insulting utterances have been flung bodily at the public.

It Is somewhat startling to say the least. In view of the language and the prominence of this J. M. F. it might not be a bad idea to summon a lunacy expert Without further delay.

The Reciprocity Conference. The action of the special committee Of the National Association of Manufacturers, in so wording its invitation to boards of trade and similar organizations of the United States to send representatives to the Reciprocity Conference, to be convened at Washington November 19, 33 to exclude from the proceedings any resolutions aiming at the reduction of the rates of duty on any specific article of com merce, is causing much peculiar comment. One paper goes so far as to say that unless specific discussion can be had, followed by specific resolutions advising tariff reductions upon certain enumerated commodities, the Conference "will be barren of result." It is evident from the wording of the invitation that the Manufacturers' Association desires to promote a general educational discussion of the entire subject of reciprocity in its theoretical aspects, rather than to consider its specific adaptabilities. Reciprocity is a subject of which most people have only a very indefinite and imperfect comprehension. There are immense difficulties in the practical application of reciprocity that are far beyond the first sight of many who look into it.

The principle itself is seductive so seductive that many are liable to dash upon the rocks In hurrying forward any specific application of it. The large manufacturers, who have immense interests at stake, are heart and eoul for the principle, but they are equally cautious in venturing to frame any resolutions asking Congress to legislate toward any specific end, or the President to draw up any treaties that Kill in any way affect them directly. uch steps will doubtless be taken in feat time but the Manufacturers' Asso in be it it of for in of elation evidently fears that that time will not come until after a thorough and careful discussion of the theory of reciprocity. The German Crista. The coming session of the German Reichstag bids fair to be as momentous vas those noted ones under Bismarck, It will be called upon to determine whether the demands of the agrarian party for higher duties upon agricultural products shall be granted.

If these demands should be acceded to the cost of living in Germany would be enormously increased. The Junker thum, landowners, agrarians, are arrayed against the employees of manufacturers and the government, and all members of the professions. The struggle will, be long and bitter; the result will probably determine the progress of Germany for many years to come. If the Junkerthums win, the industrial and commercial interests of the Empire will receive a severe set back; if the allied parties win, German internal development is assured for a long nme to come. The struggle has been precipitated by the sharp decline in the value of agricultural products and a corresponding falling off in the valuation of all landed property.

A member of the Reichstag reports that the total value of farm products Is now only $000, 000,000 n.s against two billion dollars worth of manufactured products. The small land owners have been driven out of business, finding it impossible to make both ends meet. Farm age has also decreased 50 per cent, in the last ten years. According to Berlin reports "women are now driven to en dure the burdens of hard field labor at wages which scarcely serve to keep body and soul together. In many sec tions German labor is not to be had and the titled land owners are obliged to hire Russians and Poles for the har vest They are brought over the Russian frontier in squads under contract and live in bare huts men.

women, children together like cattle in a pen." It is to remedy this awful situation that the agrarians are proposing to increase the tariff on imported agri cultural products. How much the pro posed increase is may be gathered from figures furnished by the London cor respondent of the New York Commercial Advertiser. As the new tariff now stands, it provides that the duty on rye shall not be reduced below 50 marks a ton, on wheat below 55, on barley below 30, and on oats below 50. Although these rates are described as moderate" in the government apology for the new tariff, they are an increase over the existing rates of 15 marks a ton on rye, 20 on wheat, 10 on barley and 22 on oats. The maximum rates will be W) marks a ton on rye, 65 on wheat, 40 on barley and 60 on oats, The rates on other staple agricultural products have been increased in a marked degree also.

The duty on horses will be 10 per cent, ad valorem; that on horned cattle, which has been nearly trebled, 25 marks on each animal; that on meat, which is now 200 marks a ton, 300 marks; that on bacon. butter, cheese, eggs and oleomargarine has been increased in a similar degree. The opposition to these duties does not come from the wage and salaried classes of Germany alone; it comes from the near neighbors of Germany Russia, Austria Hungary, Italy, Swit erland, Belgium and Holland. At present these countries are large exporters of agricultural products into Germany under reciprocity treaties. If the proposed tariff is enacted, this trade will be cut off, and many people thrown out of employment.

So serious is the harm anticipated that M. Szell, the Hungarian prime minister, has threat ened to retaliate. As his declaration believed to have been made after consultation with Count Goluchowski, the Austrian minister of foreign af fairs, it indicates that the dual monarchy is united in a determination to resist a flagrant attack on its industrial interests. The prediction is made that Hie proposed tariff will lead to the withdrawal of Austria from the Triple Alliance. It is believed that Italy is as much opposed to the tariff as is her neighbor, and that she may also threaten to break the alliance.

That Russia would retaliate there can be no doubt. The smaller states would probably follow her example. Alarmists go so far as to predict a rupture of European peace and an appeal to arms. Such notions are doubtless far fetch ed but there can be little doubt that the adoption of the changes proposed ould seriously damage German indus trial and commercial interests and fruitlessly isolate her from the Powers of Europe, for It does not by any means appear that the tariff changes alone would prove sufficient to restore farm values and guarantee a proper increase farm production. What with foreign relations and agrarian troubles there is certainly trouble ahead for the Reichstag.

French Finances. France has the largest public debt of the great nations of the world. Year after year deficit is added to deficit. The last nine months have increased the treasury burden over Such a deficit would not tha1 occasion of alarm in America, England, nor Germany, but to France presents a serious problem. The debt of France would be a heavy burden even in this country.

In 1000 reached the enormous figure of at that time the debt Great Britain was only 140,000, 000, and our own but $1,379,200,000. Last sptfng the French budget estimated $720,000,001) as the lowest possible calculation for 1902, and the French Government had no extraordinary war expenses to meet. At the same time the Treasury was planning an additional burden of $20,000,000 the proposed worklngman's pension bill. Americans would suppose that French statesmen would think a little economy under such conditions, hut nothing seems farther from their in tent. Lessons of the past seem to fall on THE SCRANTON REPUBLIC, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1901.

on unresponsive minds in France; the experiences of the Bourbons seem to teach the statesmen of the Republic nothing. Political jobbery and fiscal legislation in the interests of individual enterprises are responsible for the 'situation. The predicament is all the more ser ious because the population is decreasing. Six billion dollars of indebtedness falls upon thirty nine millions of people. The debt per capita of tax paying citizens is already nearly 160, a sum that is appalling and speaks loudly of crises in the future, perhaps of repudiation and national dishonor.

Three New York Men. Seth Low is pointing out why Tammany Hall should be prevented from longer administrating the government of New York city. He is denouncing Tammany and producing evidence of Tammany's corruption. He is attacking and exposing the corruption of the police. He has promised to correct all evil features of municipal administration possible and has definitely pledged himself to the extinction of Deveryism, if he is elected mayor of New York.

He has been open, straightforward and honest from the beginning of the campaign. Justice Jerome has shown himself to be as open and fearless on the platform as at the bench. He has ar raigned the very orst and most dis graceful features of Crokerism in the most scathing terms and with an unanswerable logic. He has been every where greeted with a storm of ap plause that shows there are many in New York who appreciate the efforts Justice Jerome has made in the past to clean out Devery's cesspools and to expose Van Wyck's double dealing. Ed Shepard is saying that he is op posed to no reform, and pledges him self to none.

He implores Tammany to accept him as its leader, saying that he can be trusted. He refuses to dis cuss the utterances of the New York police. He says that he is personally as good as he ever was. His campaign tactics include evasive speeches, smooth words, and tears to those of the Demo cratic party who are determined to sweep the city clean for just once at least. Mark Twain? Well Mark Twain will take you confidentially aside and tell you what a ridiculous farce all this Tammany Shepard business is.

Following Austria's example of getting American machinery the munici pal authorities of Madrid, Spain, have offered a prize of 3,000 pesetas for the best model of a grating for drainage openings in street pavements, and have especially invited American manufac turers to submit models and bids. Madrid has also offered a similar prize for a filter for water pipes. The filter called for must have a capacity of 211 gallons of water per hour. Models, plans and bids may be submitted to the municipal authorities of Madrid any time in the next two months. It is to be hoped that Americans will avail themselves of this opportunity to push their way into the Spanish capital.

The jingo spirit has been set agoing in Germany by the determination of the government to dispatch two cruisers to Venezuelan waters. They are to re enforce a cruiser already there because of an attack upon German sail ors by Venezuelans, and the people long for new conquests. "In the port cities of Hamburg and Bremen the interest in the departure of the two war ships is at fever heat. The newspapers of these towns are urging quick and decisive action on the ground that Caracas, having once been German territory, must still be regarded as such." It is safe to say, however, that the government does not share the popular enthusiasm or the popular ambition. It is now seeking a foothold in South or Central America and it never will.

Like all other European, governments it has ceased to think of territorial acquisitions in this hemisphere because the modern interpretation of the Monroe doctrne has become in effect international law. The Europeans have been compelled to concede so much, first, because of the strength of this country, and, second, because of their own pretensions in other spheres. The great powers claim the right to regulate the affairs of Southeastern Europe, they have partitioned Africa by agreement among themselves, and they have encroached upon Asia in the belief that might makes right. Their own logic makes our position impregnable. But we do not go so far as to deny them a redress of injuries.

That would be an impractical and an irrational extension of the Monroe doctrine. The redress is possible, however, without acquisition of territory. Germany can give Venezuela a very sound thrashing to begin with and then make her pay the costs of the entertainment. While such possibilities remain the South American republics are not likely to fall back upon the Monroe doctrine as an encouragement for aggression, impudence and chicanery in their dealings with the European governments.

At this stage of the political game, when the forces of the Tiger are meeting with more denunciation than at. any period since the Tweed regime, it would be interesting to know whether Col. Brayn is still of the same opinion as when he gave utterance to a parody of a Moslem prayer in the words, "Great is Tammany and Croker is its prophet." The fallen leader, however, was quite right. Tammany undeniably is great for working evil; and Croker beyond question is a first class prophet except when he makes predictions concerning elections Syracuse Journal.

Minneapolis Times. In connection with the claim of Tammany that Mr. Andrew Carnegie gave high praise to the government of New York it may be said by those who know the famous giver of libraries bet ter than the voters of New York that he never meddles in municipal politics. When Mr. Carnegie takes a hand in discussing policies it is in the na tional arena.

In cities where he desires to bestow librares he takes things as he finds them and deals with whoever is in control because he has no time to uproot existing agencies or establish others. Mr. Carnegie is prone to take the best view of everything and his lavish compliments to Tammany rule were pimply blarney, which he often uses for his own purposes, laying it on so thickly it might be cut with a knife. He was doing business with the New York administration and conducting it pleasantly. But it is probable no one was more surprised than he, in private, that he should appear as an endorser of all the queer things in the metropolis from Crokerism to Deveryism.

Pittsburg Dispatch. THE HITCHCOCK CANDIDACY. From the Scranton Tribune. In the advertisement of his candi dacy which Colonel Hitchcock is running in the newspapers one of them appeared in Saturday Tribune and another appears this morning as well as in his personal canvass stress is laid upon the fact that he was assessed one thousand dollars by the Republi can county organization; that he didn think it was a fair assessment and that therefore he chose to run on a third party ticket.

This was fully explained In Mr. Con nell's recent interview but in order that no misconceptions should exist, we wish to refer to the matter again. As all Republicans should know, the party rules require the county chairman to assess all candidates before a Re publican county primary for t'he expenses of holding the primary election. He is directed to proportion the assessment to the profitableness of the office sought. This was understood by Colonel Hitchcock when he registered as a candidate.

Was the one thousand dollar assessment too high? There are 107 election districts and in each district to hold a primary requires the services of three men besides a return judge. In a majority of cases these men have to stop their ordinary work and lose a day's time. It has, therefore, been the custom to allow them $2 apiece as compensation for their time ana work. Tne return judge, who has to travel to and from the county seat with the returns, losing a day from his regular work and also having to pay car fare and for at least one meal, gets $3. Is this exorbitant? Would Colonel Hitchcock have this work done for nothing? Could he get it done for nothing? Could he get it done for less? Here, then, is $9 expense for every election district for labor alone.

But there are other expenses. There is the hire of the booths. There are the printing and the distribution of the ballots. There is the advertising, first of the date of the primary, then of the candidates registered and of other matters called for by the rules. These necessary Incidental expenses amount in a county like Lackawanna to not less than $1,000 for each primary election; we think we are safe in asserting that there isn't a county In the commonwealth employing the direct primary that has Its primaries conducted more economically so far as the county organization's connection with them goes.

What the candidates themselves spend is another story. Now count this up. One hundred and sixty seven districts at $9 apiece for labor represent $1,503. Add a thousand for advertising, printing, booth hire, and incidentals and, in round numbers, you have $2,500 as the total cost of a primary. When there of are a dozen or two dozen candidates this represents only a small amount each.

But Colonel Hitchcock's friends should remember that this year there were only six registered candidates though the expense of holding the primary was as great as if there had been a hundred. He could not have got off for less than $400 if all the candidates (had been assessed equally. But the rules require that the assessment shall be in proportion to the revenue of the office. There is little in the office of controller, coroner or surveyor, with only a three year term, to compare with a ten year judgeship at $4,000 a year. Very properly the candidates for judge were assessed $1,000 apiece).

At that, their assessment bore a smaller proportion to the receipts of the office than in the case of the other can didates. Offhand, 1,000 may look big but consider what it meant in Colonel Hitchcock's case. It meant covering for him the whole expense of the primary. It meant paying his printing bills, distributing his ballots, assuring him the benefit of an absolutely secret ballot, relieving him of the necessity of hiring men at each polling place to peddle his tickets, and guaranteeing an ihonest and impartial count. If he had been nominated his subsequent expense would have been slight.

He naturally would have had to take his chances on being nominated, as all men do who seek elective public office. But the assessment at which he shied was literally a fair and accurate application of the party rules. In Luzerne county, under similar rules, but with a big field running to divide the expense, the candidates for judge were assessed $1,000 for primary election expenses and paid promptly, without a whimper. We 'have the utmost personal respect for Colonel Hitchcock but feel with many of his intimate friends that he has been wrongly advised in this matter. Running as he is, on a third party ticket, there is not the remotest possibility of ihis election.

If he gets a thousand votes he will get more than some of his friends are estimating. But whether he gets a few more or a few less than a thousand votes, he is as far from election as the man in the moon and the only effect of his candidacy is to encourage the Democracy and make harder the election of the Republican candidate. Judge Carpenter. We don't believe that in the event of Mr. Newcomb's election through t'he Hitchcock deflection of votes from Carpenter Colonel Hitchcock, six months or a year hejice, would feel satisfied with his work or that his life long Republican associates would look upon it as consistent with 'his political ca reer up to the time that he permitted himself to be led astray.
