Pass the Farr bill for compulsory edu
cation. The Amended Farr Bill.
The addition yesterday by Represen
tative Fair to his compulsory education
bill of an amendment authorizing
school boards In cities and townships
to employ an officer, when necessary,
to look after truants and compel them
to attend school strengthens the paren:
measure In the one point in which it
was most sharply criticised. It also
squares the bill against the opposition
of all except those who reject as un
wise the broad principle of compulsory
school attendance.
In this form ithe Farr bill, if passed,
Will be not only sound In principle but
effective In practice, as well. It will
place Pennsylvania upon a. par with
Massachusetts, New York and other
states recognized the country over as
foremost In educational progress; and
Insure, after Its honest enforcement
for one generation, a higher standard
of citizenship among our people and a
cleaner condition of the public morals.
The rigid enforcement of such a law
might fall heavily upon a few families;
but the good achieved throughout the
state would Immeasurably overbalance
the law's lncldentalyhardshlpa.
There Is no mistaking the dimensions
of the popular demand at this time for
aggressive forward legislative action
In- the direction Indicated In this bill.
There can be no tenable excuse for
hesitancy in taking such action, and
.aklng It thorough.
Senator Quay, in addition to his con
ceded astuteness, brings to politics a
reputation of. never deceiving a friend.
A good many of his critics will have
long to wait before be is unhorsed
through treacherous subordinates,
An Ineffective Attempt.
In another column we present an ab.
etract of the bill which Representative
Ames, of Clearfield county, has Intro
duced to solve the labor problem. He
(would have the governor appoint five
state arbitrators, at good salaries, to
Interpose, when asked, In the settle
ment of disputes between employes and
employers. These arbitrators, after
holding an official Inquiry with power
to call for persons and papers, must
within alxty days decide which side to
the dispute Is in error and the finding
ehall be observed by both sides for at
ileast six months. All this Is very nice,
in theory, but the absence of a penalty
clause gives the bill auspicious super
(ficlal appearance of Insincerity.
The six comfortable positions which
this bill would provide may make a
deep Impression upon legislators with
Influential constituents anxious foe
slate employment. As a political ma
chine such a board of compulsory arbl
tratlon with the compulsion left out
would have decided possibilities. Hut
we are constrained to confess that we
perceive no other points of vantage In
the Clearfield member's proposition. It
makes an attempt at solving a diffi
cult problem; but the attempt Is in
effective If not also Insincere.
Bereaved parents at Rochester
learned of the death of their son
through the newspapers two years
after It occurred. Who shall say that
there Is no enterprise In Journalism

in
Baby Play Not Probable.
We do not credit the Intimation that
Senator Penrose will seek to head a
committee of inquiry Into the conduct
of municipal affairs In Philadelphia. If
there is need of such an Inquiry today,
there was equal need of one last week
yet last week the Idea of probing the
political secrets of the Quaker City was
nowhere suggested. Senator) Penrose
has the sympathy of the public at this
time; but It Is a sympathy that would
be materially chilled by the exhibition
on his part of an Inclination to turn his
. office as Senator Into a weapon of per
sonal revenge.
If there is to be a legislative Inquiry
Of any kind, Senator Penrose would act
prudently to keep out of It, altogether.
Such an Inquiry could only be justified
before public opinion by the presenta
tlon of facts sufficient to warrant It
The defeat of one man or one faction In
a local contest, whatever the circum
stances of It and however unfair and
unmanly the tactics by which it was
achieved, would be an utterly Insuf
ficient justification for an undertaking
Which would, by Implication, cast 'bus
plclon upon every Philadelphia public
official, past as well as present, how
ever able and honest. Senator Penrose
has no just complaint against the Re
publican party In Philadelphia. His
only nuarrel is with a handful oi men
who, it Is alleged, basely deceived him.
The fight which he ought to make.
thprefnre. should be confined to tnese
few men. It must not drag In. innocent
third persons.
It is noticeable that most of the talk
about a "Lexow" committee for Phila
delphia comes from Democratic sources.
It serves their purpose, which Is to fan
the Republican quarrel Into a blaze, to
their own Dront. If there were an
honest and a general desire on the part
of many citizens of Philadelphia for a
senatorial Investigation of that city s
municipal affairs, we should be the first
to say, respect It. In the absence of
evidence of any such desire we must
sunrtrest to those Republicans who are
getting excited over this matter, to
possess their temper and not play into
the enemy's pockets.
General Lew Wallace in a recent lec
ture has lust explained why he wrote
Ben Ilur. The general intimates that
he was actuated by good motives, and
hr he ran scarcely be accused of fore
seeing the awful results of his work as
Illustrated In the Ben Hur tableaux, the
public will no doubt feel obliged to for
give him.
The Quay-Hartin Incident.
We venture to say that nine Pennsyl-
vanlans out of ten regard the manner
of Senator Penrose's betrayal In Phila
delphia as constituting an unpardon
able political crime. The explanations
advanced by those who compassed his
defeat contain no denial of the charges
of treaohery. It Is rather mild atone
ment, In this connection, to assert that
the beneficiary of that treachery, Mr.
Warwick, is personally guiltless. The
point Is a strong ture that he, as an
honest man, should refuse to accept a
nomination dlclpUjit by conditions
which would makehis acceptance of
It equivaent to becoming an accomplice
after the fact. We have seen no sug
gestion urging Mr. Warwick to reject
this tarnished honor; but we neverthe
less regard such rejection as his one
door of honorable escape from a situa
tion reeking with perlldy and dishonor.
These things, however, are subjects
for settlement by Philadelphians. They
are interesting to the state at large
mainly as they explain the currents of
mpulse which led our ordinarily silent
junior senator, Mr. Quay, to adopt the
extraordinary method of rebuking local
treachery through the 'medium of an
indirect counter attack In the senate
of the United States. The senate has
never before, to our recollection, been
selected as an arena for the exploita
tion of pcrsonail griefs and resentments
arisng out of municipal politics; and
the fact that so reserved a senator as
Mr. Quay should .have been the first to
establish the precedent which in cooler
momenlts, he will no doubt be the first
to regret Is clear proof of the over
mastering Intensity of his feeling. As
a man who, albeit the master politician
of his time, has never broken a promise
nor betrayed a friend; a mian who, de
spite all misrepresentation and malig
nant abuse, stands conspicuous for
frankness and square dealing, Senator
Quay undoubtedly felt quite as keenly
the vicious principle behind Senator
Penrose's defeat as he felt the Injustice
In whifch that defeat, unless explicitly
repudiated, would Involve him.
The possibility of an anti-Quay com
bination In this state, although ex
aggerated, Is worth keeping In mind.
A man who will break faith hi one in
stance will break it in another; and
nothing is more probable thaw that
David Mai'tin and those who aided him
in the Penrose betrayal will now try
to undermine the man who made them
what they are. They will also have the
guerrilla assistance of - politicians
throughout the state who have, at vai
ous times, conjured " up grievances,
mostly Imaginary, against Mr. Quay.
The aggregate strength of these op
ponents is canslderablej 'but it Is large
ly a negative fitrength; and It will have
behind it no strong and masterly direct
Ing mind. Upon the contrary, the ma
jority of those who are Mr. Quay's
friends are his friends to stay. They
are not. In every instance, the ones who
make the loudest boasts of friendliness,
In order to curry his favor; many have
never so much as once hung on his
ooat-tall for an office. They are men,
however, who admire his ability, his
Bhrewdness and his loyalty; and If a
fight should arise, they would not perch
up a tree.

"Paralyzed by the voice of the peo
ple. It has been further. hypnotized by
Its own Internal disorganization," Thus
Senator Quay eplgramsthe condition of
the Democratic party. The diagnosis
is as accurate as It Is Incisive.
Quay on the income Tax.
"There la no disputing the proposition
that this congress has been limited by
the popular verdict to the simplest and
most restricted function which It can
exercise under the constitution. This
congress has been forbidden by the
overwhelming voice of the people of the
United States to do anything further
than to vote the necessary money sup
plies for the maintenance of the tna
chinery of the government." Starting
with this premise, Senator Quay
reaches, by quick steps of faultless
logic, the conclusion that even this
congress should defeat the carrying out
of "the highest crime of Its criminal
tariff act," known as the Income tax.
"The appropriation proposed to pay
for the expense of the collection of this
inquisitorial and obnoxious levy upon
the private business of the people
should be defeated. Its only purpose
would be to create an army of mer
cenarles who, like our ancient enemies,
the Hessians of the Revolutionary war
would be hired by an administration
more British than American. It Is not
worth while to Incur this tremendou
expense, to create this band of lnqulsl
tors when that army, almost as soon as
hired, must Be disbanded." What more
npprl he Raid?
It Is high time that this pernicious bit

of The Tribune. The writer of them,
Miles Tracy Hand, son of ex-Judge Al
fred Hand, of this city, Is now begin
ning a career as professor In the Pres
byterian college at Constantinople, and
will, therefore, have exceptional oppor
tunities for correctly outlining the
Turkish character. Professor Hand's
first letter is a happy Introduction to
what will centainly form a notable
correspondence.
The meeting of protest against the
Armenian massacres, called for tonight
at 8 o'clock. In the Elm Park church
should be largely attended. The sym
pathy of every well-informed Ameri
can ought to be actively enlisted In
behalf of their Christian brethren In a
far-off land who are liable at any mo
ment to become martyrs to the toler
ated fanaticism of the semi-barbarous
Turk. If from these meeting of protest
throughout the country there should
spring up a more wholesome sentiment
of jealous popular regard for the dig
nity and Christianizing Influences of
our American representatives In foreign
lands, and for the honor and true glory
of the American flag, the blood of these
foreign martyrs nhall Indeed become
the seed of American advancement.
The esteemed Philadelphia Record
exults because The Tribune Is opposed
o state ownership of the school book
printing business. The Record there
upon accuses this paper of giving ex
pression to "Democratic truth." We
had not been aware that the truth, by
whomsoever spoken, Is necessarily par
tisan In its character; but If the Demo
cratic party In Pennsylvania Is opposed
to the Lytle scheme to force the com
monwealth into usurping a private
business, we hope that Its opposition
may be crowned with success.
The Scranton Truth, after churning
tself Into a great state of excitement
over the Farr compulsory education
bill, suddenly discovers that that "bill
Is not worth the paper upon which
it is printed." If this be true, why has
the Truth made so much fuss about It?
The report that western cattle are

Tor Kurul High Schools.
The first step toward the establishment
of high schools In the rural districts of
the state was taken Thursday by the In
traduction of a bill to this effect in the
house by Emerson Collins, of Lycoming.
The measure allows two or more districts
to establish joint high schools of three
different grades, those In which the course
of study Is four years to be known as the
first grade; those In which the course Is
three years, to be known as tho second
grade, and those of two years as the third
grade. From tho unnuul appropriation
for the support of the schools the first
grade shall receive not more than $S00, the
second, PM, and the third. $400. In case
of Insufficiency of appropriation each
grnde Is to receive a proportional share.
The bill also designates the studies In
which tho teachers of such schools shall
be examined, subject to the approval of
the superintendent of public Instruction.

FOR A PERM AX EXT CENSUS.
From the Syracuse Post. .
The Scranton Tribune makes a strong
plea for the establishment of a perma
nent census bureau, or for putting the
worn oi the census department upon a
permanent non-partisan basis. The Trib
une thinks it will be better to have a cen
sus taken oftcner even though It did not
give In detail so much statistical informa
tion. Tho country Is growing much faster
now than It did when a decennial cpdbuu
wus first established. People are Inter
ested In the things of tho present. The
news of last year has no interest this
year. Statistics of population, of manu
factures, of commerce, collected In 1890
are entirely out of date und of only rela
tive use in 1895. Muny growing cities are
placed at a great disadvantage when their
population is quoted on the figures of the
cenBtis taken . several years before. The
advance In commerce and along all lines
of business Is so rapid that the returns of
the year when the census was taken are
very far from accurate Indications of tho
Btato of the country Ht the time whon
they are Mnully published or before an
other census Is taken.
There Is much reason for the sugges
tion of The Tribune' that the census be
put upon a permanent non-partisan basis
with continuous labors. The department
could then compile every year a large
amount of vnluuble Information, and the
advantage of Its statistics would be that
they were right up to date and hence of
some practical vuliio. Under the present
system, u lurge force of expert statis
ticians Is employed by the government for
one, two or three or more years, and
then with the completion of the census,
ho force Is dismissed and thlH expert
help Is scattered. Before un other census
can be taken, there must be a seurch for
the right kind of men und all the work of
trulnlng men for the position hus to be
done over. All this could be avoided
with a permanent census bureau under
civil service regulations, having expert
statisticians in tho employ of the gov
ernment all the time. They, like bourds
of trade or chambers of commerce, could
furnish each your very valuable reports,
not of the musty past, but of the living
present.
Is l.lkcly to l ull.

It seems the new senator from Lacka
