It is fittini; and proper that the natal day of American independence ibonld be commemorated by all the accessor ies of sincere rejoicing. It does not de tract from the eolemuity of this occa sion to hare toe people, old and young, enjoy thcuisolvea in vuied festivity and give vent to genuine feeling in pranks aud noise. The suggestions of this day are not funereal. They muka no demand upon th sympathies and upon the hallowed reverence of a grate ful citizenship. The tendency whicb would convert Memorial Day into an occasion of revel is wroug, uttorly and repulsively j that which would make of to-day's obsarvuiicoas happy an am as Louest gayety can devise is wholesome and worthy of all prais. The Fourth of July, it may be joy tolly said, has n meaning lxstint; and genuine. The problems that have urisen during 118 years of republican government have not been few nor in considerable. Soma of tham have been Bottled in tie shedding of fratricidal Wood; others yet linger as legacies of man's inhumanity to mun. But ons and ail, they have Letn tint problems of a brave imd progressive people, planted" firmly on the ruck of individ ual liberty aud moving, in spite of many obstacle, steadily toward the goal of a bettered citizenship. Yet at this tiiiu it may not be amiss to recollect that such a government was not born from a parentage of selfishness and greed. The century which baa brought with it such splendid proofs of human advancement has not omitted to supply equally notable inatances of av arice and oppressiop. It is part of tbe duty of American citizenship to study well tbe meaning of tbe independence we applaud. That freedom was not a freedom from the wise restraints of law. It was not a liberation from the divine obligation of justice. It did not con template among Urge nutnbsrs of men the disposition now visible to break down the safeguards of law and order, that armed troops raijht usurp the place of contented artisans, or furtive speculators grasp great wealth at tbe expense of human misery. If as a price of new condition we must pay our self respect or bare onr backs to the dirk and the lash It should be a serious question whether those conditions are worth their cost. If civilization can come ouly along roada that are stained with crime and blood, it should b pertinent to inquire if such a civilization is the civilization that men need. In comparison with the frank simplicity, plain heroism and out-spokent manliness of onr revolu tionary sires, our present killing rush for place and power and peir. sub ordinating to its feverish haste many of tbe best capabilities of our nature, makes a singular contrast. It will not hurt us to think npon these things. It will not hart us for tbe instant to pass out from the nar rowed interests of self; to give some lie-d, however brief, to the sacrifices of our nation's childhood days; to pause and rest and ponder amid tbe memories of homely pioneer life, efo strikes and lockouts and all the grinding woes of fast and aelfKa living bad corrupted that which wai sturdiest and best in our firit American. If John Hinks get appointed national bsnk examiner and Michael Ilines consul, the Ilines family will become tolerably well accommodated. In the philosophy of Brother William, a publlo office partakes at times of all the outward characteristics of a fraternal snap. The idea that truwl in steam cars is dangerous does not receive confirma tion from too readable statistics oa this subject collected by the Interstate commerce commission. Last year only one passenger was killed on American railroads for each 1,985 1S3 passengers carried, or for each 47,588,0G6 pataen ger miles accomplished, aod one pas senger injured for each 183,823 passen ger! carried, or for each 4,400.039 pasaeuger miles accomplished. This chaace of death is almost ns remote as ia that of winning a prize in the lottery swindle. President Cleveland will not suffer in the jadgmout of thinking man be oinse of his resolution to uphold the law it to do so takes every soldier in side Lis jurisdiction. That Pittston Affair. If the borongb council of Pittstou wishes to Investigate the statement of The Tribum that Mr. Mangao. Its president, had made application to Mr. John Graham, superintendent of tbe Wllkes-Barre & Wyoming Valley Trac tion company, for three passes over the East Side electric road which is just entering Pittston borough, this ppr will willingly eo-opeiate in placing at the disposal of the proper committee any information that it can give with out violating a trust. It had supposed from articles appearing In tin Pittston Gazette, that Mr. Mangan himself wonld provide us with an opportunity for substantiating in the eonrts the truth of onr report; bnt tbe place of substantiation is immaterial to ns, so long as we are permitted, before a prop er tribunal, to sustain what we have asserted. In this connection it is bat fair to Mr. M. N. Donnelly and Mr. C. Frank Boban to say voluntarily, that we do not believe that Mr. Mangan'a use of their names In connection with passes, was autborlz' d by them. We suspect that he did it upon his own responsi bility. No reflection npon tbem has bee.n intended; indeed, tbe only pur pose of The Tribune is to print the news, and this it will continue to do until further notic. It is a rooit kind of philanthropy which, in its haggling over the moral responsibility of maddened assassins, would let tbem free to kill again rather than r nn the risk of banging a mono maniac. Mr. Powderly on Sirikes. Mr. Powderly, speaking at prohibi tion park, Staten Inland, last Sunday, is quoted ia a New York dispatch as baviag said in substance: You will probably have made up your minds that I am a very terrible sort of a roau. You have read of the hundreds of strikes that 1 have ordered, strikes that have paralyzed the business of the country and carried waut into tens of thousands of homes. Standing here beforo you aud be foro uiy God.l cau say that 1 never ordered a strike lu my life. All tbe strikes that I huve been credited with ordering have been precipitated before I knew auy. thing of tbem, aud tbeu I have, as leader, simply made the best of what I have al ways regarded as a very bad situation.' We are all now intensely interested as to the outcome of the strike In tbe west. Every strike that takes place upon a hue of railroad is a B'rike auaiust tbe whole country. Our railroads are, so closely idrntitied witb the lire of tbe natiou that when you stop auy one of these arteries through which the life blood of tho na tion's prosperity flows you injure those whom you least expert to injure aud whom you would least desire to barm. Tho great na tional htKhways, the railways, are as much the property of our govern ment today as were the old coach roads. There are many who beliuv that these railroad strikes, which during the last twelve yer.rs have become more exten sive, will continue, doing more iujury each time, aud that there will be less chance of controlling tbem In the future uutil we adopt a plan of national co-operation aud run the railroads uuder the supervision of the United Slates govern ment, by aud for the whole people. This strike today is not for wares, not for the recognition of auy association or orpani zatlou. It is a strike for the coutrol of tbe arteries of trade aud industry. If all the railroads could be nationalized then all the strikes upon them would be at an end, for every man, whether he be an employe of the railroad or not, would be an equal owner in it and equally anxious for iu well-being. The day will coilo when coal depoit;, too, will be owned by the government that represents tho people, who must have coal. Is government ownership of railroads and coal mines practicable? The first question to be considered is the cost of buying them, and next tho cost of con ducting them along political instead of along business lines. The fact that now, under eareful business manage ment, railroad securities, on an average the whole list through, pay less than two per cent interest does not offer encouragement to government purchase and control of railroads, with tbe in evitable extravagance, jobbery and waste of that unbusinesslike system. As to the coal mines the government could not logically buy them without baying and running all other mineral industries, until in real fact its capacity for expansion would be hopelessly exhausted. The ownership of the property is not always what innkes nieu work peso ably or riotously npon it It Is tbe opportunity they have for be ing deceived by nowise leaders. Of all the strikes that Mr. Powderly says were forced upon him, bow many did good; aud was not tbe aggregate harm larger many times over than tbe aggre gate good? If men working for the gov ernment were paid mora than theywere worth, speaking In tbe commercial sense, how long could the government continue snch excessive wages; if less, how long would tbe men submit to it? Tho government, as an employer, would Have severe courts aad sharp bayonets behind it; but theso woU not be loag rellshod by turbulent work men and there wonld soon be greater (notion than ever. No, tbe solution of these recurriag difficulties is not to be bad along the line of the nationalization of our in dustries. Tbe government, it is true, manages a tew businesses well; but frcm its vary nature it cannot manage all businesses, neither oati it wisely de part from its true function of perform ing tbe least work consistent with the proper protection of its citizens in their inalienable rights. The individuality of the citizen has been belittled too nni oh already by these great opposing cembinations of capital and labor. We have abont reached tbe aprj of this folly, and it is time to think about get ting ready to go down bill again to plain democracy and civlo individual ism. There should 1m no irreconcilable clash between tbe man who works with his brain and him who works with bis brawn. Tbe clash whicb exists is na artificial one. We have got to get back to first principles In this matter. Otherwise popular government must be branded a failure and civic equality a delusive dream. May the return of tbe glorious Fourth be a reminder that America is still a free eountrv. and that men la pursuit of legitimate business will be protected regardless of the mischievous commands of reckless leaders of any cliquo cr organization. To Stop Train Blockades. Those who want to employ tbe strong arm of the government ia the owner ship and operation of railroads some times fall to rtfbct that it is both possible and feasible to accomplish the desired result of protected, traffb rights without burdening the government witb more tban it cm carry. It is as the Indianapolis Journal says ia the ceurse of an exceedingly thoughtful and thorough edltoral on tbe same sub jeot, from which we Intend to quote, "intolerable that the social and com mercial affairs of the country should continue sabjjeS to interruptions which, without any fault on the part of tbe people, Inflict upon tbem snch heavy hardens ia the way of personal discomfort, domestic worry and pecu niary losses. They ought not to be ex pected to stand it, aud they will not stand It any longer than is necessary to find and apply a remedy. The main object oPall government ia to protect tbe people In the enjoyment and exer- cise of their individual rights. No such protection exists when treffia and travel between different parts of the country are interrupted or suspended at frequent intervals by force and violence on the part of any organiz ation. A government that cannot or does not guarantee the right of free personal and commercial Intercourse to all its people ia all parts of the country is a failure. "As between government ownership of railroads and government regulation of railway travel and traffic the argu ments are overwhelmingly ia favor of the latter. Indeed, those against tbe former are so numerous and strong as to pat it entirely out of the qaestioa,at least without a change of oar form of government. Government ownership of railroads does not oonslst with re publican government. But government regulation of railway travel and traffie is something entirely different. The constitution would not permit tbe government to own or operate the rail roads of the couutry, but it distinctly says that congress may regulate com merce among the several states. If tbe constitutional power to establish post oftlces and poatroads gives congress a right to make interferences witb mail trains a felony, tbe constitutional power to regulate commerce between the states gives it au eqaal right to de clare it a felony to unlawfully interfere with the movement of freight or pas senger trains en route from one stats to another. This is what congress should do. It should pass a law regulating all freight and passouger traiue on inter state railroads a part of interstate commerce and making it a folouy punishable ia the courts of the United States for any unauthor ized person to interfere with the movement of any such train. Already it has done this in regard to all mail traiue, and the t-fl -etnas been most salutary, bnt it should go farther and Include all freight and passenger trains running ou the interstate railroads. Tbe people are entitled to this protec tion. Congress has undoubted consti tutional power to extend it, and it should exercise the power." It would coat three times more than did our civil war to buy tho railroads of the United States; and, at the very best, it would be an exceedingly doubt ful investment for tbe government to make. But the government cau with entire propriety stretch its hand out iu the protection of itb traveliog citizius against riotous mobs or felonious ob structionists of puMio transportation; and the sooner it does this the better. This duty has been evaded quite long enough. It must be met and p-r-formed, After fourteen weeks in commit tee, during which time it has teen overhauled, emasculated and trimmed to the satiated tastes of the tiil'ectud trusts, tbe Wilson tariff bill has at last passed tbe senate. It is not the hvriful kind of bill in i fleet that it was when it entered tbe senate; bat ia principle it is infinitely worse, sine it represents tbe audacious consummation of the greatest scandal iu the history of Amer ican legislation. It will no doubt be bolted whole by tbe conferrees of the bouse aud soon receive the signature of the president. For of such is the mod ern Democracy. The lono promised "Critic" has ap peared on the West Side, under the brctzy control of John Courier Morris.

CUMMER Frivolities. This is a most unfortunate time of year for persons who are fat. Apropos, an au thority ou foods prescribes green vegeta bles growing above the ground, such as peas, spinach, aud asparagus, una plain green talaris unmixed with poultry, meat or fish, such as lettuce, celery and cresses, with a Freneh dressing, very little starch food and white meats, chicken, lamb or mutton, an abundance of fruit, toast and wholo wheat bread; no sweets and few stimulants, except Santerne aud Rhine wines in moderation. For brain workers, red meats, particularly beef, are recom mended, witb starch foods taken in tbe form of rice and whole wheat bread; all green vegsl able s that grow above tbe ground, green salads every day with French dressing, containing plenty of oil, fruit in abundance and no sweets.

Household Hints: Lemon stains on cloth may be removed by washing tbe goods ia warm soapsuds or in ammoniv Mildew may be removed by dipping tbe staiued part in buttermilk, and then put the article in the sun. When tbe finger nails are dry and break easily, vaseline rubbed on after tbe hands are washed will do a world of good. Dust and marks of children's lingers can be removed from windows by rubbing them with a sponge whicb bas been dipped in ammonia aud water. Rubber gloves are a great saving of time aud labor over tbe hands, as tbey keep thera free from any grease and dirt likely to be absorbed when doing house work. A raw egg Bwallowed immediately will generally carry a flh bone down that can not bo removed from tho throat by tbe ut most exertion, and bas got out of reach of the saving Auger. To remove lloger-marks from, and re store InBtre to the keys of a piano, wash off tbe marks wpih a chamois skin wet with cold water; then rub the surface with sweet oil, mixed with balf its quan tity of turpentine. A liberal rubbing with this mixture will prove effective. When oiled waluut furniture begins to grow dingy, It can be made to look as fresh as now by re-oiling. Linseed or oven olive oil can be used, but pure, good kerosene oil is much the best. Rub it witb a aoft woolen rag, and polish with clean dry 0aunel.-'Ai7adef)ftfu Htcord, COMMENTS ON THE FRAY-.
