JANUARY 20, 1306. Might Asainst Bight. Captain seems to have mistaken the personality of his candidacy for the principle it was supposed to represent. His experience in city government and his popularity made him a strong mayoralty candidate, but his subservienco to the mailed hand that dealt Turn foul and murderous blows, discloses unexpected weakness of character. Moir himself was only an incidental factor of the fight against Conne llism.

Had he been defeated honorably at the primaries it would have been his duty as a Republican to have accepted the result manfully and given allegiance to his competitors. But (Davies and iWestpfahl were the choice of a majority of Republicans who voted at the primaries and this expression of the party was nullified by various vigilance oommMees, allowing Democrats to vote, affecting the result and by the fame election officers, making false returns of the ballots cast. Are nominations thus obtained toy fraud binding on any Republican, or how can our politics foe cleansed, if such practices are to go unrebuked? Does might make right? Because Ripple and Connell are rich and Moir poor, is crime to go unrebuked and under the cloak of party are the Republicans thus fraudulently robbed of their rights, to fall down in Idolatry before a golden calf, while a juggernaut crushes them into political oblivion? Harsh things have been said about the Cop nell dynasty, because they were true and ere known. Nearly one half of the delegates admitted to the Music Hall convention bolted, because they knew their cause had no chance from a factional organization in possession of the party machinery. If this is to be Lackawanna Republicanism its success concerns a very limited number, and A.

B. Stevens is to lead the party contest. The same Stevens who lead a bolt from "the Republican city convention that nominated Hon. Lewis Pugh for mayor set up another Republican ticket with Squire Leach at its head and thereby elected M. Loftus, Democratic mayor, and all the other Democratic city nominees.

Stevens' provocation then was that a snap convention nominated Charles TV. Roesler for marshal 8 nstead of his friend, James Mills paugh, who shortly afterward fled the City a defaulter, and has been a fugitive from Justice ever since. And William Connell, in possession of the party machine, is a standard now, hut only a few years ago induced Brice R. Blair, ofCarbondale, to run with him stump candidate for county commissioner, because Connell did not like the Republican ticket of Williams and Jacobs. They did their best to tear up the Republican party, but were unsuccessful.

Connell has been opposing Republican candidates nearly every year since, and Colonel Ripple is the standard bearer, who, when mayor before by the grace of the Republican party, turned his office into Democratic headquarters and contributed all he could to the defeat of Reese G. Brooks, in the election of John Gibbons for city treasurer, and Connell, Ripple and Stevens will all fight Republican candidates again when it serves their purpose. The plain, honest Republican, who loves his party for its grand principles, and not for what he can get out of it, must draw his own conclusions as to ihis duty. A fraudulently nominated ticket can claim no Republican allegiance. There may be times when party defeat is a blessing in disguise.

The scandal of police in politics, of every department of the city government, particularly for partisan purpose, is no credit to Republicanism. Had Moir stood for mayor a chance for protest against high handed factional practices would have been afforded Republicans. This can yet be done with some Republicans of grit and character like E. B. Sturges or Joseph J.

Jermyn. It matters not so much who is elected as that Republicans give emphatic public notice that some degree of decency must and shall prevail at our primaries. Even while Ripple is elected, after such protest, a popular rebuke would probably secure some what of protection agaimit a repetition of these demaliz dng practices. Meanwhile, what has become of the proposed prosecution for violation of law at our recent primaries? In the name of good government, let action commence. Brooklyn city authorities are bitterly opposed to the Greater New York scheme and will oppose it to the bitter end.

We do not blame them. Brooklyn is badly enough governed as It is. A Democratic Bolt Imminent. The prospect that the next national Democratic convention will witness a sanguinary contest between the free silver and sound money elements of the Democratic party 'foreshadows a holt of no small proportions. In fact, not a few of the leaders are fearful of such a result.

The Democratic party is hopelessly divided on the money question, and it Is a matter of doubt which faction i3 really the stronger. The truth will not be known until the issue is fought out in convention. But one thing at least may 'be construed as morally certain If defeated, the silvorites will bolt. It will take but little in the way of successful opposition to the plans of the free silver Democrats to induce them to detach themselves from the party in a body. This, in fact, they threatened to do in case the convention was appointed to tie held' in New York city.

Senator Jones of Nebraska and others almost equally prominent, emphatically making the announcement. Now, If the mere selection of a place of meeting for the nomination of candidates was a matter of so much concern to the free silver Democrats, of how much greater Importance will they consider the principles which they advocate, and if those principles shr.uld he ignored by the convention, will 'they not leave it in disgust? Most assuredly. They did not want the convention held in New York because they considered that city inimical to the sliver Interests, and If those same interests are ignored at Chicago, something will happen. There is only one possible way In wHich a split in the Democratic party ji be wuvb uicti, and that Is by a com promise between the free silver and sound money elements. But can such a compromise he effected? Each faction will want the long end of the rope and in the fight to cbtain this advantage, we shall expect to see the party organization rent in twain.

One of the arguments offered by the mayor of t. Louis as a reason why that city should be selected as the place for holding the Democratic national convention was that the biggest brewery in the world is located there. The statement nearly proved a prize winner for St. Louis. That.

Flying Squadron. It looks very much as though the tremendous energy displayed by the British in the organization of a flying squadron, was unnecessary exertion, since there seems to be no particular point at which English interests demand the presence of such a fleet. But now that the bluff has been made, the squadron must be sent somewhere. Its destination, however, still remains a secret, and if the truth were known, we fully believe that the Salisbury government feels very much as if the flying squadron was an elephant on fits hands. Doubtless the hasty formation of the squadron was resolved upon with a view to furnishing the world an object lesson that should demonstrate Great Britain's ability to quickly prepare for war on the seas.

This has been done, and that, too, without particularly alarming any other nation, although some of them have doubtless been anything but pleased at this wonderful illustration of the ability of the British nation to maintain its supremacy as "mistress of the seas." Now, however, the question that naturally arises is what is to De done with this squadron? That is a problem the British government has doubtless been endeavoring to solve, with what success remains to be seen. The idea that the fleet will be sent to the Burmudas as a hostile demonstration against this country is hardly worthy of credence. There is no occasion for such a and Lord Salisbury certainly is not so foolish as to take a step that would immensely detract from his popularity at home. The English people are in favor of settling by arbitration the dispute with the United States over the Venezuelan boundary question and a naval demonstration intended to menace this country would cause popular indignation in England as well as in America. Therefore, whatever point may be the object of the flying squadron, it is safe to assume that it will not sail on a mission hostile to the United States.

The big apple crop in Virginia has been productive of results anything but encouraging to the cause of temperance. A Richmond paper states that "more apple brandy is being made than ever before, and the amount drank in some localities is enorm'ous. One revenue officer reported cases where whole families were drunk, the women especially." Railroad Building. The Railroad Record and Investor's Guide thinks that there are two features of the past year's railroad reports that are significant. One of these features is that only one thousand, seven hundred and eighty two miles of new road were built in 1805; the other fea ture is that it doesn't pay to build more at present.

In further discussing the subject the publication, referred to says the high water mark was reached in 1SS7, when twelve thousand, nine hundred and eighty three miles of new track were laid. The decline since that time has been steady, and, while the lowest level was probably reached last year, there will be no twelve thousand mile years in the near future. The railway construction of the future will be chiefly of short lines intended as feeders or branches of existing lines. It does not follow that because there will be no excessive railway construction hereafter that there will be nothing for furnaces and rail mills to do. The maintenance of the one hundred and eighty thousand miles of track already in existence with necessary sidings: and extra trackage will call for thousands of tons of new rails every year, and it may be taken for granted that in the matter of new rails and other supplies the demand will not only be extensive, but much more regular and more easily computed in advance than ever before.

Debs, the labor agitator, whose previous efforts have been produotive of so much disaster to the cause he advocates, has become a champion of woman suffrage. The End of Campos. The Spanish government is wise In recalling General Martinez Campos from the captain generalcy of Cuba, since his inability to perform the duties which devolved upon him has been made so apparent. There are doubtless those who will contend that Campos has done as well as any other commander could have done under the circumstances, but this is not true. The incompetency of Cam pos has been evident almost from the first day he entered upon the task of subduing the Cubans, and it is strange that the authorities at Madrid were so long in finding him out.

When Campos first entered upon his campaign he had a force at his command three times superior in numbers to that of the insurgents. He was also supported by a formidable naval fleet, had possession of the entire sea coast, and could he have brought into play the elements of a truly great general he would have speedily put an end to the insurrection. But he did practically nothing and as a result he is now cornered up in and if not exactly at the mercy of the Cubans, he is at leaiit bet eft of power to do them any real harm. But the mistake of the Madrid government consists in its not having before recalled Campos and put a more energetic man in his place. Six months ago a good soldier might have made headway against the patriots and reduced them to submission, a task now too great to be accomplished by any force at Spain's command.

The rebellion has spread almost from one end of the. island to the other and the insurgents are growing stronger every day. Their caus is so far advanced that it cannot, be defeated and the downfall of Campos practically marks the beginning of the end. It will bo useless for Spain to appoint a successor to the deposed commander, no matter who he may be, for the freedom of Cuba is already assured. Professor Wheeler of Yale, as might he expected, takes the unpatriotic side when he discusses the Venezuelan question: nevertheless he comes close to the truth when he says; THE SCRA2sTON REPUBLICAN, MOXDAY HORNING, JANUARY 20, 1S5K, "Our danger does not Ke in Venezuela nor in the land north of the frost line.

It lies not in contact with England whose institutions are as free as our own. The danger lies in the degeneracy of our public men and in the failure of the attempt to get decent municipal government." Can Have the Nomination. Whether or not Grover Cleveland seeks or would accept a third term, it is certain that he has more supporters among the Democratic leaders, than has any other TnSn. True, he may not be the choice of the majority, but his following is large, and the probability is that should he ask for the nomination next June, It will be given him. This opinion is strengthened by the presidential preferences of the members of the Democratic national committee, as expressed to a reporter of the New York World, at the time of their meeting in Washington last Thursday.

There were fifty one committeemen present, and forty five of them expressed their choice of candidates as follows: For Cleveland and a third term Opposed to a third term 0 For Whitney 4 For Morrison, of Illinois 5 For of Indiana 2 For Vice President Stevenson 2 For a silver man Non committal These figures are significant, since they show that but a small minority of the committee is actually opposed to the third term principle. But eight really want Cleveland in preference to any other man, but neither Whitney, Morrison, Matthews, nor Stevenson has so large a following among the committeemen, while only nine are opposed to the third term idea. This Is a most favorable showing 'for Mr. Cleveland and demonstrates, we 'believe, that it would be an easy thing to win over to his support a large majority of the members of the national committee as well as a majority of the other leaders of the party. The plainest deduction is therefore, that Mr.

Cleveland can secure the nomination, provided he seeks it. This result could be all the more readily achieved, because no one else cares for the empty honor and therefore earnest contestants will be few, i'f any. But it is said that Mr. Cleveland does not want a third term. This we.

very much doubt. He would never vacate the presidential chair ot his own accord, but if absolutely convinced that it is impossible for him to be elected, he will of course refuse to be a candidate. Consequently it rests with Mr. Cleveland himself whether or not he will be made the Democratic party's standard bearer in 18i)G. If he concludes that he can win he will put himself at the head of the column, 'but if convinced that defeat awaits him, he will drop to the rear and slink out of eight.

Henry M. Stanley's conclusion that unless England consents to the arbi traton of the Venezuelan affair war with America is inevitable, Is doubtless correct. Death of a Literary "Woman. Mrs. M.

E. Holden, who died in Chicago, last Thursday, was a woman possessed of remarkable literary talent, of which she made most excellent use. She generally wrote under the nom de plume of "Amber," and her literary productions were invariably instructive and interesting. A writer who knew her well, says of her: "The most unique Bohemian of her time in Chicago, she united within herself qualities not often found conjoined in the same Individual, for while she had undoubted genius, she was totally devoid of most of those eccentricities which largely qualify the lovable traits in many whose writings, rather than their personalities, command the respect and admiration of an extensive following. A brilliant writer, she was at the same time a central figure around which much of the keenest intellectual life of Chicago gathered.

Musicians, artists, sculptors, poets and men and women of rare gifts delighted in her society. Mrs. Holden, at the time of her death, was undoubtedly one of the best known woman writers in Chicago. 'A String of Amber Beads' was the title of one of her works." It is easy to deduce from the conflicting Cuban war news that all hope of Spanish success is rapidly vanishing. Senator Hill was opposed to having the National Democratic convention held in New York.

He does not like funerals. CLEVER REPLIES. "Look at me, sir, and attend to what I Shall ask you," thundered a learoJ counsel whose unfortunate 'homeliness" of feature had gaiined him the sobriquet of the "Veiled Prophet." "This is an English court," rejoined the witness, quietly, "and you have no righ't to impose torture before putting the question." Courtship and marriage are recognized targets for witticisms, ot jphich Mr. Punch's famous "Don't" Is undoubtedly the most brilliant example of a happy answer. Most of tihem are of the same cynical character.

Prisoners, too, have a fair proportion of "happy answers" credited to them. Of these perhaps ths best known are that of the man who, when asked if he pleaded "guilty or not guilty," replied that he couldn't say till 'he heard the evidence: and the naive response 'of the prisoner to the usual question before "Have you anything to say prisoner, before sentence is pronounced unon you?" "It's very kind of your honor, and if it's quite agreeable to the court I should iike to say 'good The pa'donable but injudicious er.thu siasnrf some clergymen over their musical rervlce "nas s'iven rise to many smart sayings which are, it any rate, 'ben trovato."

Few fashionable 'homes in WasMnsrton have peacock feathers as ornaments. They are supposed to hring bad luck.

It is a Washington superstition that to bring prosperity bills shouid not be crammed in a pocketbook "any which way," but neatly folded toward one and creased lengthw ise.

The famous observation of Jack Tar to his matey on a stormy night, "Lord help those poor lubbers ashore" is often quoted.

The origin of the saying is an old rhyme attributed to William Pitt, the English statesman, which runs as follows When Barney Buntline slew'd his quid, And said to Billy Bowline: "A strong nor wester's blowing, Bill; Hark! d'o n't ye hear it roar now! Lord help 'em, how I pities them. Unhappy folks shore now! Foolhardy chaps as lives in towns, What danger they are all in. And now lie quakine in their beds, For fear the roof should fall in; Poor creatures, how t'hev envy us, And vWhes. I've a notion, Forgood luck, in such a storm, To be upon the ocean!" MARRIED.
