Tsm May ba room for a little levity
m the discussion of the Wilson bill,
sooator 'jay sseous t tainlc o. jadg
iqiC from his humonns amniuieat.
Eat to a frrowia number of Americin
citizens, the problem has goat bevond
the ameliorating reach of practical
hamor and has got to the grim rantags
ground of a terrible calamity
f"UMIIHimi the fact that there are
only fifty pagea in it, the Philadelphia
Timee Almanac for l-'il is troly a
inarTel for ikilfnl condeoeation an 1
statistical brevity. This annual com
pendium en;--ys deeervsd favor am jag
politicians and editors It is a standard
book of reference in all well rogulatal
Pennsylvania offices where live state
information in crisp form is a de
lidsratom.
The action of the Loose committee
on banking, last week, in refusing, ty
a vote of eigot to nine, to recom
mend tbe adoption of Representative
' ox's bill repealing the state bank tax
is a hopeful sign of returning financial
aanlty. A house which could paaa so
socialistic a proposition as the income
tax may override this action of tne
banking committee, but tbe senate will
remain a a safe bulwark against wild
cat currency.
Mr. GhtOWl address Saturday even
ing before a meeting of Philadelphia
textile workers was admirable in tone
and argument. The tact and ekill
which this veteran rhetorician bri ngi
into play in bis elucidation of tht tariff
question are agraeaM" aurprwes to
those who had fancied tna subject had
lieen exhausted Under his apt tonch.
prosaic facts gala new importance, and
the familiar fignrei of the atatisticians
take on increased I Of (ft aril aignili
cance. Mr. Grow Is decidedly his own
bast champion.
It 1 asserted with a great deal of
emphasli by tha Democratic newspa -pers
that the freeing of our markets to
tbe coal Hyndicateof Nova Scotia would
immediately result In n corresponding
act of generosity on the part of the
Dominion. Hut Colonel William J.
Lamb, the Norfolk (V'a.i protectionist,
has taken all the wind out of that fall
by securing from Sir John S Thomp
son, attorney general of Nova Scotia,
premier and minister of justice of the
Dominion of Canada, this telegram:
"There la no enactment in Canada
making free admitalon of coal a neces
sary result of the taking off of duty in
the United States or authorizing gov
eminent In counoll by proclamation to
make coal fraa in Canada." The free
coal clause of the Wilson bill is a de
liberate and unrequited give-away.
The ktekmf.ii Wllkes-Birre News -Dealer
questions Tin: Tribunu'h state
ueut that Cleveland 'e second term has
tost more tuau the civil war. Our
:ontemporary is recommended to read
ibe report of H O. Dan & Co., review
iig the business of the United Slates
lor aa compared with the year
preceding; then to add in the wage
ossea and value depreciations of the
lrnt five weeks of 191, and finally to
sompare this total with the estimated
Itoney cost to the north of prosecuting
tho rebellion It will find that Cieve
laudUui, tariff tiukering aud tha de
pression they have wrought weigh
down the soale aveu against tbe fright
ful ravages of the greatest war of the
Nineteenth century.

DE.ATH OF MR. CHILDS.
It ha bven sail ntuy times of
Qoorgt V fluids that he was a tvpicil
Ainerloan. Tli atsertion is tfofiattef
ing to the American character, whiob,
m us typical repiesentati'ins. fail to
approximate tht betieyolem e, the phil
anthropy aud tht largo-heart e.1 oon
ervttm of the creator of the Phlla-
dtlphta L'dger. It is not tin essential
Iv Auieiioan characteristic to ilo good
'or tht I'liro low i'f doing it. to utili-1
the fortune winch prosperity batows
in artifices of htOtTOltOOt aud gentTOt
lty rather than in schemes of Nil en
rtchmsot; to matntalo tn nnrnffl'd
ealm in the mldat of seething uud
frothing oomptUMon j aul to base an
unwavering QOOftdtOCI 00 the not al
ways ptrotptiblt trtamph of cantor,
honesty and strict regard for those
liitugs that are morally best. Tner1
are Americana who exhibit that traits,
rut thev are not trntonl Amsrioans;
they are. rath.-r. excei'tion.il Amen
can ia whom virtue pay Us retails
lory ra pacts to the vies ttiat is so
steadily in evidence
Mr. Childs, than, was an tzcsptional
Americm Hi ws sxaptlonal tirt
of all, in tho opportunity which he
seemed to tit into as if destiny werj at
work in the upbuilding ot !m obJsrio
ter, The quirt, moral home life of the
most Jomeeiic of our great cities hid
never had what-c in fairly be CiHtd a
represent it ; . BtWtptptr until Mr.
Childs. almost by chance M it seems
from the viewy int of toliy. took hold
of the Public Ledger and made of it
tho maotmant that It Is, Pi the next
plaoti Mr. Childl was exception -il in
tha apparent ansa with which sucsjss
cine to him Tbtrt have leen
men who. to all outward appearances,
have striven tenfold as bar J he; aud
who, upon s'litHer scales, have emu
lated all tiis virtu s. yet they hive gone
down in tbs battle, beaten if not hu
miliated, while Mr. Chi Ids, with what
looked like the sheer buovancy of
chance, nad guue high and still higher
on the swelling tile of complete pros
perity. It is quite possible that wj
should attribute this ssreaity of vic
tory as much to the laantatM if n
ture which did not let the world know
of its care and itragtla aul trials, as
to any other cauie. It som-ithiug.even
in an age of turmoil and doubt, to fsel
assured that in one COBSpiCOOOS In
stance. lnes won a more a perfect
material and earthly recouipsnse than
any that we can say has yet rewarded
the undssertlng s?eker after wealth
aad f ansa Nor doa it detract from
the consolstion to assort, without evi
dence la proof, that his rstompanss
was the btind awar! of lack.
No man can bo accused of lacking in
individual strength, discretion and
mental equipoise who shall offir, us
evidence of his deserving, the creation
of a journal which for thirty years has
ben received Into the homes of Phila
delphia upon a footing of trust and
reverence BCCOrttod to few printed
thing apart from the Hible, the fan
ily cook book anl th parlor album. If
it was in some respects an accident
which gavs Mr. ( "nil Is tha owuership
of the Ledger, it was not accident
which made hli control of it a mast
erly trinmph of fine dlsrretion, un
f. i.-g .' 1 patio'it conservatism vi I
an intuitive insight into tha habits and
manners of his great newspaper con
stituency Tiie ability to direct an en
torprise so difficult, exacting, delicste
and careful as is involved in the suc
cessful conduct of a large family
n'-wipnper includes well-nigh all the
qualificstion for temporal success. If,
in addition to all these, and if, as va
rut ions In his great capacity for ben
evoler.o", Mr ' hllds occasionally dis
played little foibles and crotchets
such, for instance, as his fondness for
poblic mention, his passion for enter
taming distinguished icuests, his pre
dilection for rare china and quaint
clocks who d(esa not feel that these are
picturesque and not unpleasant foils to
the central portrait of a gt tat nod true
man, benignant, kindly, helpful and
generous, a very prl'ice in the nobility
which Is conditioned upon real worth '
THE NEW COLLECTOR.
Tht decision of Sinator Herring, who
will today take foimal poisossion of
the office of internal revenue collector
for the Twelfth district of I'ennsylva
tila. to continue the liendqilartern of
the district in the handsonm spirt
m-nts fitted up for It InScranton's now
federal building, Is one which the ni w
collector will not regret. While this
city is not In the geographical center
of the district, it lain the center of
business and social gravitation; audit
will prove most ndvantageotis to tbo
greatest number of business men com
ing within ('o)lectur Herring's jurisdic
tion to make no sudden- change in the
arrangements that were so successful
under tbe occupancy of RttillOg Ool
lector Penman.
We also tblak that lie Is proceeding
wisely In not making violent and
brupt changes in the personnel of hie
office. No doubt It will bs distasteful
to tha numsrous and tagr Detuocratu
who expect to profit by Mr. Herring's
appointment not to get atonce into the
spoils trough and revel accordingly.
Cut the typo of Democrat who can see
no further significance In the public
service than private and selfish gratifi
cation constitutes, as we firmly be
lieve, a small proportion of the citizen
ship of this district. Above and be
yond their persouul smbitlons and
pulls tower the business interests of
the people; and Mr, Herring will not
fall in the estimation of n discriminat
ing public if ho shall consider first this
larger welfare-, boforj proceeding to
satisfy the pettier demands of the
clamorers for political place.
A we interpret Hepuolioaa seuti
ni ii t . there Is no geuoral desire among
the political opponents of the tuoomlug
Collector to cling tenaciously to the
skirts of his personal favor. Tht 'me

the place for Hines to rise to tiis op
portunity. It would have taken very
little elixir of manhood at this critic il

Democratic malcontents against the
Wholt nauseating hodgt podge of
Chimerical experiments and economic
blundering.
Anl Hines voted uny N.iv, nay,

uostal patronage, a piltry Nanticoke
appointment which ha threw off as a
sop to the naturalised Hnngarlan vote,
aud then stepped back and voted "aye"
for tne W ilson bill. One month ago,
certain manufacturers and laboring
men in I.uzrne county thought Mr,
Hines their beau ideal of a statesman
and a scholar. That was in the per

individual today? Row do they relish
