And the end is not yet.
Protection for the masses Is a war
cry never more popular than now. The
Republican party Is for this kind of
protection.
Ballot Law Changes.
We surmise from the tenor of their
remarks that the majority leaders of
the next legislature In this state will
endeavor to prevent further amend
ment of the present ballot law. There
are, however, two features of the law
which distinctly need modification. The
straight party circle at the top of each
row of names should be abolished lit
terly, and the provision should be
stricken out which permits an ignorant
or helpless voter to take an assistant
with him Into the booth. We concede
that neither of these changes Is likely
to be made, for the simple reason that
the politicians ore against them; but
both ought to be made, because they
would do away with much crookedness,
error and crime.
The circle at the top Is a device of
politicians to encourage straight vot
ing. If, however, a man marks a cross
In this circle and then one opposite one
of the names In an adjoining column
below, as was done, It Is alleged, In
the election of Judge In Sullivan county
last month, a grave question at once
arises as to the law's meaning. The
decision of Judge Archbald, In a similar
case, that the voter's plain Intention
should be respected, .although It Is
In unison with common sense and com
mon Justice, Is dissented from by at
least three other common pleas Judges
in the state, before whom parallel cases
have arisen. If there were no circle,
there would be no dilemma. The voter
could and should vote for candidates
separately. If unable to read, he could
take a- marked specimen ballot with
him Into the booth and copy the marks
upon the regular ballot. Or, better
still, he could forfeit a ballot to which
ho Ignorant man has any moral right.
We favor the abolition of the too
Ubiquitous helper because so long as he
enjoys his present prominence at the
poHs, our ballot system will not be a
secret system nor will It be a clean
one. In the case of crippled or disabled
voters, there should, of course, be pro
vision for assistance; and we would
suggest the addition to each election
board of two sworn helpers, different
In politics, both of whom rthould as
sist disabled voters In marking and
folding their ballots. Some fraud would
probably creep through even this ad-
dational precaution; but the opportu
nity for fraud would be very materially
Curtailed. The total number of voters
''In the state In need of physical assist
ance at the polls In small. In the
majority of cases such voters are men
tally fitted to detect any Jugglery on
the part of their assistants.
The booth system of secret voting hag
come to stay In Pennsylvania; but it
should be perfected whenever a fault Is
disclosed. The above are bad faults,
The public Is pretty well Informed
as to the weak spots In the present
common council. It is also earnestly
In favor of changing them.
Live and Learn.
EX-ltepresentaltlve Kasson. a mem
bar of the ways and means committee
of the Fiflty-flrst congress, does
appreciate the position of those who
are now indisposed to bow down a non-
ond time before, .the fetldh of redundant
protection. He writes to the Washl
Ing
ton Post:
There need be no question or doubt
Doui me definition of "national protec
tion." It 'means legislative encourage
ment to tho employment of American can.
Hal and labor at home in the development
of all our natural sources of wealth and
prosperity, instead of sending our cup.
ital abroad to aid In the production of for
elgn wealth and to pay for the forelcn la.
bor. It means legislative security against
the dependency of the nation upon foreign
countries for Its means of defense, and
of our people for their necessaries and
comforts of life. It Weans legislative
barriers against the exhaustion of the
wealth of the country by sending it
.oroau in exenange lor perishable ai
ticles, Instead of using it at home In ex
change for the like articles produced Ly
American labor from the earth or In the
factory. In the former case both money
and the orticlo it buys are lost to our
country; in the latter, the money stays
at home and goes on buying. The prime
object of "protection" is the steady
maintenance of the necessary industries
Involved In the development of national
resources; not the benefit of A, B and C,
who own the Industries, except so far as
they are entitled to the competitive
chance of reasonable profits, as lndls
pensable agents for maintaining the In
dustrles. It goes without Baying that
there must be profits, or there will be no
industry,
If the ways and means committee 'of
the Fifty-first congress had only re
tnalned true to the foregoing wlfie and
patriotic standard, there would have
been no revolt of the people In the con
preBslohal elections of 1890; no second
infelctlon of Grovei Cleveland In 1,892
and no panic. If It had listened to the
advice of James G. Blaine' and had
remembered that our farmers nnd
tradesmen and the employes In our
Industries needed protection no less
thun our large capitalists, does Mr.
Kasson suppose we would now have
a Democrutlo administration In power?
Protection, of the genuine kind, is
Indeed more firmly rooted In public
favor today thun It ever was before.
But the genuine kind of protection Is
not the kind at which Mr. Blaine once
grew so angry .that he smushed hla
silk hut while gesticulating forth an
emphatic protest.
The Republican party should live and
learn.
Rogues generally ixiulrm When hit.
Cleanse common council.
An Interesting Discussion.
The Pittsburg Dispatch of recent
date printed two sides of an Interesting
discussion., It permitted W. J. H.
Traynor, president of ..the American
Protective association, to explain why
that organization Is wuging Us pres-
'ift warfare upon the Catholic church;
and In the same Issue It printed a
learned refutation from the jj.-n of
Bishop Keane, president of the Catho
lic University of America. Both ar
ticles were very long; too long to be
more .thun cursorily reviewed. Presi
dent Traynor charged Catholicism
with employing Its spiritual power and
ecclesiastical organization to seize the
elns of political government In this
country; In proof of Which assertion
ho claims that from 60 to 90 per cent.
of our public ofllce 'holders and their
employes are Catholics. He gave the
following summary of the American
Protective association's principles:
First The absolute, perpetual scpnra
tlon of church and state, and the ellmln.i
ion of all religious elements from poll
tics.
Second Undivided fealty to the Re
public, and the acknowledgment of the
Ight of the stute to determine Hie scope
of Its own Jurisdiction.
Third The maintenance of a free, non-
sectarian system of education.
Fourth The prohibition of any govern
ment grant or special privilege to any sec
tarian body whutsoever.
Fifth The purification of the ballot, the
establishment of a franchise with un edu
cational qualification, and the suspension
of Immigration for a more or less pro
tmcted term, its resumption to be based
on guarantees of extended residence In
the country, with an added educational
qualification.
Sixth The taxation or all property
equally, public property excepted.
Seventh The prohibition of that penal
system which permits convict manufac
tures to be brought Into competition with
free labor.
Klghth The subjecting to public Inspec
tion of all private Institutions where per
sons of either sex are secluded with or
against their consent.
Replying to these charges, Bishop
Keane cites the unfairness of blaming
the Catholic church for occasional
perversions of Its teaching by men
falsely claiming to be Its spokesmen.
"Fair minded men," he truly observes,
must Judge the church, not by what
some Catholics do In spite of their
religion, but by what those Catholics
do who are recognized as typical
ohurchmen In conformity with the
principles ond teachings of their re
ligion." He reviews the church's fa
miliar position on the school question,
explaining that Catholics regard a
proper teaching of man's duty to God
as even more essential, because resting
at the basis of all civilization, than a
proper teaching of man's duty to man.
With reference to the political portion
of President Traynor's accusations,
Bishop Keane says:
The Catholic church has no political
purposes. It neither countenances nor
wishes for any political position, distlnc
tlon or influence. There in absolutely no
relation between the church and any pollt
leal party. Prominent Catholics are L)cm
oerats and prominent Catholics nre Re
publicans, Simply according to the view
they may take or the great centripetal
and centrifugal tendencies, in which con
sist the harmony of our governmental
system. Neither In the prlvato recogni
tion of their church nor In tho public ex
ample of lis Christian citizenship, are
they either better or worse Catholics for
the views which they hold concerning
these great principles nnd tendencies- of
our commonwealth. Men are good Cath
ollcs if they hold nnd follow the princi
ples of the chruch, and they ace bad
Catholics If they have permitted corrup
tion to separate or estrange them from
Its principles. The secular position and
afllnltles of any Catholic, aside from his
observance of tho moral law, are mutters
entirely extraneous to his religious faith,
and nny assumption to the contrary is re
pudlated by both the teachings of the
church and tho practices' of Its consistent
members.
The foregoing Is, of course, nn Im
perfect summary of this discussion; but
It covers at least several of the sullen
features of It. "We Incline to the belle
that tho Importance of the American
association has been considerably over
rated. Whatever of virtue there Is in
Its platform Is thoroughly covered by
other platforms ond other movements
In no sense marred by bigotry or pro.
Bcrlptlon. Tho honest common seiiHe o
the American people will not permit
them to believe that nny church Is to.
day actuated by a desire to throttle
liberty, either of conscience or of civic
action within the law. Buch a desire,
If entertained, would die of tho Intrinsic
Impossibility of Its own gratification.
The best men In the city are none too
good to serve In councils. If council
are not up to their standard, let them
llnp'rove councils.
. , The Value of a Life.
In a' recent number of the Central
Law Journal, published at St. Louis
James J. II. Hamilton of this city pre.
Bents an Instructive study of the leg.il
limitations wlhldh have been passed by
tlhe various eta-tea on the value of hu
man life. These limitations vary con
sldonably. In actions to recover dam'
ages for doaittiB from corporations
guilty of negligence the limit In Colo
nado, Connecticut, Illinois, Maine,
Massadhusotts, Minnesota, Missouri,
Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York,
Oregon, West Virginia and Wisconsin,
Is $5,000; and In Indiana, Kansas, Utah
and 'the District of Columbia dnmages
may be any mim not exceeding $10,000,
In Colorado, If an employe or parson
ger of a 'railroad company bo killed by
She negligence of the company, ithe
company wlnull forfeit not less than
$3,000 nor more than $5,000, 'In other
oases Colorado has tip minimum. limit,
In Connecticut 'the damages given
against a railroad company must be
not less tfhan $500, and In Maine an
New Hampshire ithe came minimum
limit is fixed.. In Pennsylvania there
is no Hmit to ithe damages that may be
recovered, and it is beyond 'the power
of ithe legislature to fix a limit thereto.
Mr. Hamilton thinks that of all these
positions that of Pennsylvania alone Is
sensible. Apropos lie says: "
Strictly speaking. It Is beyond tho power
of any man or any set of.men, of any leg
islature, court, or Jury, to tlx a limit to tho
value of human life, They, one or all,
may without much difficulty, perhaps, de
termine the value of a particular lire, hut
to tlx a limit to the value of human life
n general Is absurd. Why, then, should
stntuto or constitution undertake to limit
the dumages which may be recovered for
ho loss of that whose value cuunot te
mlteil? Why should the law say to tho
widow and the orphan you may recover
your loss, provided you have not lost more
$.1,000; but if your loss be greater than thai
ryou shall not recover the excess. It
votddbeasjust toyay to creditors, no min
er how great the. sum due you, you shall
not be permitted to collect more than
$5,000. It cannot bo maintained that the
peeunlury values of human lives are
equal, nor that the limitation of the dam
ages recoverable places them on an equal
ity; for If the values of lives are equal,
then all differences In wages, salaries, and
Incomes are a He: and that they nre not
laced on un equality by such limitations
of the dumages recoverable Is shown by
the fact that In all canes the distinction
Is kept up ttntll tho statutory limit Is
reached, and no more than ihe actual pe
cuniary loss cun ever be recovered unless
In the states allowing exemplary dam
ages, and In thoso which leave the dam
ages entirely to the discretion of the Jury.
The conclusion of Mr. Hamilton Is
eminently sensible. lie says: "If the
widow or the children are permitted to
recover damages at all, they should be
allowed to recover their whole pecuni
ary loss. In case of personal Injury
not resulting In death, the person In
ured may recover not only his actual
pecuniary loss but damages for the
agony and anguish ho endures; and
should It be cheaper for a corporation
to kill outright than to save the life
of an Injured person? Shall the state
suy, In effect, to railroad companies,
If you have an accident be sure you
slaughter your passengers; let none
survive; it will be cheaper for you to do
so.' If damages for the full pecuniary
loss suffered may be recovered, a
wholesome chock Is thereby placed
upon the recklessness and criminal neg
ligence of corporations and their ser
vants. Railroad companies, for In
stance, will not be so likely to work
their trainmen and telegraph operators
overtime until from very weariness nnd
exhaustion they become Incompetent
to perform their duties with credit
to themselves or safety to the public.
The removnl of limitations to the. pe
cuniary value of human life in a court
of law is demanded by our higher civi
lization. A true conception of the sa
crednessof life demands that our public
law, whether fundamental or statutory,
shall not eay to corporations, 'you may
commit manslaughter as often as you
please nnd as willfully as you will, and
It shall not cost you in any case more
than the monthly salary o your presi
dent.' "
If a short session of the next legisla
ture is to be productive of slighted leg
islation, let us by all means have a lung
one.

FOUR GREAT EVENTS.
l.
"You can't guess what's happened,"
Says Crnndmn, looking wise;
"Something so unexpected
It took me by surprise."
And whlleAve fall at guessing
What we're sure of, forsooth,
Bho makes the profound announcement,
"Tho baby's got a tooth!"
2.
"Ive got some news to tell you,"
Buys Grandma, by und by.
"of course, It's of the baby,"
We Bay with twinkling eye.
"Of course It Is," Bays Grandma;
And the newe, too good to keep,
Is lold us In a sentonce v .
"The baby's tried to creep!" '
3.
"Oness what I heard today, dears,"
Says Grandma n-grln,
As to the buby'B preseneo
We all come tumbling In.
"Something so cile! so cunning!
I know you will bo glad!
I wish you could have heard It
The baby suld 'Dud, Dad!' '.
4. ,
I've something new to tell you," .
Says Grandma In delight;
And then she hugs the baby
'And takes ft Rceat. big bite
Of kiss from Hps like cherries .
In a hungry kind of way:
"Just think, dears! Grandma's darling:
Took two big steps today!"

POLITICAL POINTS.
Pattlson as a presidential possibility ex
pired eight years ago.
The slating of F,. N. Randolph, of Pitts
burg, as Journal clerk is now a llxed fact.
Major McDowell, of Sharon, If reports
be true, tins the chief clerkBhlp of the
house of the Fifty-fourth congress as
good as nailed down and clinched.
Rdltor Sum Hudson, of the Times, will
represent his Journal at Harrisburg this
session, and Incidentally pick up a few
stray plums If any go to Democrats this
time.
The Pittsburg Dispatch does not en
thuse over tho suggestion of Senator
Quay as a presidential candidate. It pre
sumably wunts. some one with a greater
flow of words aiul u smaller fund of ideas.
Out of the fifty-eight names of Wy
oming county citizens signed to petition
of content upon which Judgo Sittser rests
his .claim of defeating Judge-elect Dun
hum, forty-six ufterward signed a second
petition to Judges Rice, Archbald and
Hearle aBklng that their nmaes be strick
en from tho llrst petition, Inasmuch as
their signatures were obtained under a
misapprehension of tho document's na
ture ami purpose. Although the trial
Judges denied this counter petition, Its
moral effect Is very considerable. Only
twelve men today cling to the first peti
tion; and tho Tunkhannock Republican
says of this dozen that there is not a
single one who owns or pays taxes on real
estate. There seems to be comparatively
little doubt that by bringing this flimsy
contest Judge Sittser hus very materially
Impaired his once large popularity In Wy
oming county.
Colonel McClure thinks that "Thomns
Reed, of Maine, Is the biggest and
brainiest of the Republican loaders today,
and Is fur In the lead of all his competit
ors for tho Republican nomination . for
president In ISM." The colonel, however,
Is ofMhe opinion thut the sliver question
will destroy Heed's chances unless Reed
permits the Corlisle nondescript scheme
of currency reform to puss. Colonel Mc
Clure Is plausible, even when he Is not
convincing.
