Governor Hastings.
It Is a fortunate circumstance which
firings to the fore, as the leader and
personal medium of lit puljllixtn re:ti
ration i!n it he chief 'magistracy of the
eonimomvpaiih, a man so well adapted
in physique, temperament, training
and purpose to the duties of that lofty
position as Is Onoral Daniel Ilartniari
Hastings. Massive, majestic and mag
nanimous, he at once unites ilhe ideals
of the common people, from whom ho
sprang, with the necessary require
ments of those who vieiv 'In public
office, under our system of party Gov
ernment, iluiles to party and to party
organization second only to those
duties, the fulfilment of which belongs
to the whole people.
General Hastings becomes the gover
nor of Ptniiisylrainla with free hands
and clean garnn nts. The majority by
which he was chosen, the largest ever
cast in any state in this Union cither
in war time or In peace, commits to his
charge a trust far In excess of party
boundaries and commissions him with
a power exceptional even in govern
ment by popular suffrage. It Is pleas
ing to be able to say, with entire con
dor, and to have partisan opponents
concur in the statement, ithit General
Hastings, ns a man, is entirely worthy
of that trust.
His record as governor will be await-
pd with an interest on .the part of the
people commensurate with ithe measure
of their personal admiration and with
the magnitude of his opportunity.
Their welcoming of him to olilee Is
cordial to an uncommon degree; but it
does not forgot-to recognize, with kind
ly appreciation, the high personal char
acter of his Democratic predecessor,
who Willi 'take with him, into private
life, the esteem even of those who have
most widely differed from him in de
tails of gubernatorial policy.
Tho Wllkes-Barre Record's sarcastic
reference to the Armenian protest
meeting In this city is abominably
clever; but we think the Record will,
upon reflection, agree with us that
Christian sentiment in the United
States cannot be better enlisted than
In the two-fold purpose of protecting
American citizens in Turkey nnd In
deprecating a gross international out
The Inaugural Address.
Of tho four leading topics discussed
liy Governor Hastings In his inaugural
Address, two are nf general scope and
two appeal directly to state legislation
After a modest and mnnly Introduction
the governor" treats at length of the
first ' of these larger themes, pausing
only long enough to pay a gracious
tribute to his chivalrous recent oppo
nent on the minority ticket. He finds
In tho last two sweeping revolutions in
national public sentiment, occurring as
they did In opposite directions within
two years, proof not of the Insecurity
but rather of the strength and stability
of our form of government, Inasmuch
ns they Indicate the growth of serious
and Independent thinking among tho
people. The tariff question, though, lie
regards ns settled In Its essential prln
clples. Upon this subject he shrewdly
says:
While the American wage rate Is almost
ns distinctive a feature of our national
system us our Declaration of Indeoend
ence or our ling, and protection to our
own Industries a settled conviction of our
people, yet conservative Judgment will
always demand that legislation upon this
subject be of such a character as will lie
just to all sections of our common conn
try, all Industries nnd occupations, and
that witn changing conditions, the ached
tiles of protective rates shall be so modi
fled as to prevent monopoly or oppression
of any clans of our people by the power of
aggregated wealth.
The mutuality and Interdependence
of lnbor nnd capital, the Interruption nf
which, by either, causes so much
trouble , to Itself, the other, and to the
whole community, are discussed In tho
address with particular candor. Wc
recommend the ritadlng by every one of
that portion of the address In which the
mutuality and the separate rights of
labor and capital nre clearly defined.
We especially bespeak for the following
excerpt thoughtful attention!
The state that permits largo aggrcga.

With the game restrictions. tirlvUniraa anil
protection, which It gives. the Individual
c-ltlxen. The laws affecting each should
bo just and equitable, The burden of fux
ation should rest Justly, and equitably
upon both, having due regard to every
privilege, advantage nnd reluted interest.
Neither should be a target for the dema
gogue or tho tool of the avaricious. Wise
laws rigidly enforced are indispensable to
both as woll as to tho state. Every man
has the right to sell his labor ut his own
price, ani is entitled to protection in its
performance. Luuor has the right to or
ganize for mutual protection and advan
tage tho same as capitul; but neither la
bor nor capital has the right to comblno
to prevent men from working at any
price they please, no moro than capital
has tho right to control or pervert tho
naturul channels of industry so as to do
press the price of labor or raise the cost
of living. I have been constrained to
dwell somewhat upon this subject, bo
cause In tho further development of our
material wealth It Is necessary for the
peace and dignity of the state, and for tho
preservation of the lives and property
of her citizens, that there shall be no re-
urrence of law-breaking methods to en
force a settlement of private disputes.
The stuto Is concerned that there shall be
industrial peuce; that mining, manufac
turing, trado and commerce shall con
tinue without Interruption and to tho ad
vantage of all concerned r and I shall re
gurd It us one of the most solemn obliga
tions of my oath of otllce to see to it
that the peace and dignity of the com
monwealth be maintained anil the laws
enforced nnd open Uctlum-e thereto re
strained promptly und ut whatever needed
cost.
Where strikes occur or are threatened,
the governor thinks that "some sure
legal method of ascertaining the facts,
and laying them bare? to the public be
fore disputes result In violation of law.
destruction of property or Injury to
public rights," by whatever name It
might be called, "would bring the
merits of both sides of the contest be
fore the public for Its judgment, where
the light is sure to prevail."
Disposing thus of two topics of na
tional Import, the governor next ad
dresses himself to two other themes of
primarily stnle concern the public
schools and the public roadn. These
portions of his address may be brlelly
summarized as favorable to an ampli
fication of the public school system
;ilong the line of manual training at
state expense, and us indorsing state
lid to struggling communities where
tho construction of proper roads Is pro
hibited by reason of its cost. We re
gard It unfortunate that ut this time.
when the educational Interests of the
commonwealth are Intent upon achiev
ing the logical supplement to our pres
ent lino system of free ptt'.die schools
known as compulsory education, the
newly-inaugurated chief executive of
tin? state should have no word of en
couragement, but should Instead pass
to the consideration of a project some
what alien to the occasion, and of
doubtful practicability except through
the channels of individual Ivnellcence.
In fuel, this tiur view is the one de
fect In an address otherwise rich in
counsel and Kiij;;cUun, and phrased
In language ut which the must captious
cannot take offence.
Senator Penrose has introduced a bill
at Ihirrishurg authorizing any city or
borough to raise money by taxation,
the levy not to exceed two mills on the
dollar, for the establishment nnd main
tenance of free libraries. A law simi
lar to this has long been In operation
in Massachusetts, and as a conse
quence, where Pennsylvania has only ten
municipal free libraries and these the
result of private donation Massachu
setts has more than SOU, ail of them
nourishing. The remarkable success of
the Albright memorial libiary In thlu
city Is a strong argument in favor of
permitting the establishment, by taxa
tion, of similar institutions in boroughs
or cities in which private generosity has
not paralleled the mugnillceiit work of
the Albright heirs.
Tn the replacement of Lieutenant
Governor W aires by Horn. Walter Lyon
there Is consolation by reason of the
faot that It will restore .to illils city and
community one who "has for twelve
years served .it and 'the state with con
spicuous credit at Harrisburg. Should
tiie same l.v.v of promotion obtain in
the future as that Which four year
ago took him from the door of the sen
ate and made him the. Republican lleu-
tuiiant to a Democratic governor, few
Scpantonlans would l(e surprised end
no decent one would feel sorry.
It Is said that Mayor Strong, of Xew
YorkJiasdccMedio retain Superintend
ent P.yrius at the head of that city's
police department. If this be true, We
fear It is a mistake in judgment. No
doubt there would be difllculty In re
placing him with one of equal experi
ence. Rut the fact that Ills ontrol In
the past has been coincident with grave
abuses which lie did nothing to correct
would seem to seriously Impair his fu
ture usefulness.
If capital punishment should be abol
ished In this state, the Wllketi-llarre
Record thinks that "condemned mur
derers would be comfortably clothed
and fed nt the people's expensv, while
many an honest man would starve and
freeze." The same argument would ap
ply to criminals condemned for other
crimes than murder. Does the Record
favor killing oft all criminals, just to
save expenses?
It Is perhaps a trllle early to forecast
wltih accuracy tho result of the sena
torial election In this slate in ISft"; but
since Senator Cameron has decided not
to be a cundlela'te and Inasmuch as the
west already has one senator, we vio
late no confidence In saying that the
next senator will be likely to come from
northeastern Pennsylvania. ,
We trust thOit every progressive citi
zen of Scranton will tnke the trouble to
attend the caucus In his ward at which
candidates for council nre nominated.
Such attendance would solve the prob
lem of good government In this city.
There are no subterfuges, no point
less platitudes and no insincere general
ities In Governor huttings' Inaugural
address. It is the thoughtful messtige
of an honest man told candidly and re
ceived with conviction.
Governor Pattlson'strndltlonnl "luck"
would specdUy cease to be a factor in
Pennsylvania politics If Republicans
would be pti'ded by the principles of
common sense.
There appears to have been A high
flavor of dime-novel romance cufinected
with the sudden disappearance if throe
young men nnd two girls vAm left
Dunmore the other day for piirti un
known. The dark plot for escape was
mapped out In a barn .when? nilld-eycd
quadrupeds of the-bovlne specie calmly
masucaxeu wnuf was -oncu new-mown
hay as the trusting maidens pledged
dternal fidelity 10 the young horoes,
who were prepared. If necessary, to
spill red blood for the objects of their
adoration. One practical measure of
precaution, however, was adopted by
the young men. Tills consisted in the
purchase of new shoes, which were duly
charged to the account of the stern
parent in each case. The new shoes
will doubtless prove a blessing to the
elopers upon the return journey homo
ward, especially if the walking iu
sloppy.
Although Its remark .will encounter
violent dissent, the Wllkes-Barre
News-Dealer Is not far wrong when it
says: "Manual training, or advanced
education as some of Its friends call It,
has no place In ithe curriculum of the
common schools and an attempt to put
the cost of maintaining It on taxpayers
will simply be an imposition and noth
ing else." Private benevolence ought
to solve this problem. General taxa
tion of the many for the few Is wrong.
No one questions the desirability of
mauiual training; the only room for dif
ference is with reference to the method
of supporting schools for manual train
ing. The Altoona Tribune is convinced of
two things; first that Senator Quay Ji.xs
somehow tried to rob the people of
Philadelphia of their .right to horn?
rule; and secondly, that Senator Quay,
o:i general principles, Is a, bold and bad
man. We regret to see so good a pa
per as tho Tribune In two such great
errors, for neither of Its suppositions
is In accord with the facts.
City Solicitor Warwick, of Philadel
phia, Is no doubt personally an able,
courageous and clean-handed man. The
Republican party could hardly select a
better man for mayor. The fact Is,
hawes'er, that the manner of his nomi
nation over Penrose has beclouded the
prospect of hlselcetton; and the Republi
can party In Philadelphia would be fool
ish to take chances.
The bill of the Ftnte board of health
authorizing Die establishment of town
ship health boards Is now before the
legislature. Its principles cannot be
assailed. There Is a growing belief that
precautions In protection of the public
health, to be effective, must be con
tinuous, covering federal, state, munici
pal and ulso country districts.
New legislators naturally mean new
gift books. It Is not surprising, there
fore, that there Is a movement nt Har
risburg to print another edition of the
"liirels of PennsylvanTa" and also of
"Pennsylvania at Gettysburg."
.
If Editor Singerly's reference, in yes
terday's Record, to Governor Hastings
was in excellent taste, the governor's
later return of the compliment was
equally felicitous and graceful, Fair
exchange is no robbery.
The base assertion that the people of
the south take no interest In the eleva
tion of the colored race was refuted
last year by Mill lynching.
LEGISLATIVE TOPICS.
McJical Mon on Capital Punishment.
In connection with tho movement be
gun by Senator Vnuglian to ubolish the
death penalty In this state It is Interest
ing to note tile altitude of prominent
medical men upon this question, especial
ly upon the difference between disease
and deviltry, l'or example, the Homeo
pathic .Medical society of the state of New
York discussed the subject at Its annuel
meeting, held In tVbruury, 1S01, and with
out a dissenting voice resolved "That a
committee be appointed to urge upon our
legislature the abrogation of the dentil
pi'iially, and the substitution of a method
of punishment more logical, more reason
able, more humane, more thoroughly f
fi'ctive us a protection, and more In har
mony with the enlightened and progres
sive spirit of the age." The Eclectic!
Meilical society of the state of New Yolk
hud this subject under consideration of
a committee for a year, and tit its annual
meeting In Albany In .March, 1SSL'. agreed
to the committee's report, and resolved
by an almost unanimous vole "That it is
the recommendation of the Eclectic .Med
ical society of tho state of New York that
the legislature of the state of New York
passim act uboilshing capital punishment,
substituting therefor life imprisonment.
with such well-considered safeguards us
will forever prevent any actual murderer,
ome Incarcerated, from regaining the lib
erty he deservedly forfeited by his own
Impulsive or ficadlsh.net." The Medical
society of the state of New York, at Its
annual meeting In January, 1S!U, referred
tho subject to a committee of three of lln
ex-presliients, of which committee Dr. A
Jacobl was chairman, to consider nnd re
port upon the subject nt the next annual
meeting of the society. This committee
submitted an exhaustive report to the
annual meeting In January, 1H!i which
has attracted wide nttentlon In this conn
try and Europe, closing with strong reso
lutions condemning the death penalty.
How to (let (iood Hoods.
Philadelphia Inquirer: "Some of the
newspapers of the slate nre mintaklngly
urging that the cost of building Improved
roads lie distributed according lo tho
benefits conferred upon the properly,
There is no method of distributing I lie
cost which Is more unsatisfactory or more
certain to create at an early day wide
spread hostility to nny roud bill that tho
legislature may pass. Resides, to adopt
such a plan of distributing tho cost Is to
cling to tho veiy basis of tho old short
sighted system of selfishness which has
prevented road Improvements because tho
land owner could not Ree thut an expen
dlturo for the good of thn community
was for his own good. If we nro ever to
have good roads It will ho when wo de
termine to distribute, the cost us widely ns
possible and make It as light us It cull be
made upon any Individual."
Interest on State Funds.
Senntor Kuurfmnn, of Lancaster county,
has introduced a bllsMo provide for the
payment of Interest on state funds depos
ited in hanks. In speaking of It the Phil
ndclphla Press soys: "Interest paid on
public funds should go to the owner of thn
funds the public and not to tho salaried
custodian. Tho Hardsley disclosure fur
nishes an argument In favor of tho prln
elide of Senator KaufTinun'n bill which
cannot be answered. The cily banks uro
glad tij pay 1! per cent, for tho privilege of
having the custody and use of the city's
money. Why should not the state depocl-
lorli's pay i no snme ami pny It, too, into
th stute treasury account?" Upon the
same subject the Pittsburg Dispatch per
tlneiitly remarks: "Why shuuld not tho
stale prescribe for Its own funds the same
rule as for tho funds of cities and roun
ties namely, that they shall be depos
ited Willi a Rumcieni number of banks,
selertlng those which bid tho blithest
rate of Interest In an open competition?
We know or no reasons why this should
not be done, except those arising out of
politics.
Avoid Class l.calslntlon.
Hasleton Sentinel: "Tho legislature has
It In power lo do a great deal for tho re
Vlval of business nnd promotion of pros
perity, not so much by the passage of new
laws as by a wholesome restraint In thnt
respect. It Is possible to give all neces
sury protection to tho rights of labor, and
yet not refuse duo protection to tho
rights of capital. The two forces nre
alike essential to the welfare nnd prosper
ity of society, nnd they are alike entitled
to jubt and coiisulcrute treatment. Any
scheme of legislation which assumes that
they are either antagonistic to each other
or Independent of each other Is false In
theory anil sure to be disappointing and
injurious in its practical results. A law
that -causes capitul to be withdrawn or
withheld from active service In the chan
nels of production Is not to bo justified by
any kind of politics or economic logic.
When money lies Idlo because it cannot
bo safely invested the fact signifies that
tho sources of employment are lessened,
and that labor is placed at a disadvan
tage. It is when cupltul is encouraged to
multiply the agencies of commerce and in
dustry, to construct factories and inaug
urate new enterprises, that wages are
high and the masses contented and happy.
There Is an ubundunce of hoarded money
in tho country at present which will bo
put In the wuy of making better times
just as fast as the opportunities are pre
sented for doing so under reasonably se-
ure und propitious conditions. The leg
islature ran hasten this desirable result
by manifesting a disposition to give cap
itul a fair chance, as well us labor, with
out discrimination ugulnst either. There
Is much to be done thut will benefit labor
and capital In this region, but class leg
islation win not do It."
