In thU vlriivHy capMUl and labor arc
liappily united. Individual operaitors
are In m.)3t Infltamees men Who put the
teachings of philanthropy In practice In
everyday Hfe, and tho heads of corpoiu
tluns conltrollod by oirtslde capital ere
With few exceptions men who have the
liiitwvecs of our city and Its laboring
trusses at ilieart, and men In whom the
wrtoiivuman ha Implicit confidence. A
reduction In wae;e sflule in this seoWon
Is usually accepted philosophically by
Ibe laborer who feels ct-rMlr. tha t an In
creaise wlfl b'l granted when busimoss
will allow It. On the othtr hand the
grievance committee always receives
respecltfu'l hearing; from the high ofll
cials. A careful study of the capital
end l'abor situation In the Electric City
and suburbs would no doubt prove
benefloiG'l rto nhose who are directly and
indirectly responsible for the trouble at
Brooklyn.
Power oi the Pulpit.
The power of the pulpit In politics
Is recognized by the Mlnneauolls Tri
bune which. In a recent issue, Rives
forcible examples of the effacacy of tho
spirit of Christianity In arousing public
sentiment against evell. The Tribune
calls attention to the fact that the great
agitation In New York which led to the
downfall of Tammany and to a purifica
tion of the city government, a work led
by Rev. Charles II. Parkhurst, of the
Madison Square Presbyterian church,
and participated In by his leading fel
low clergymen, has awakened a general
discussion as to how far secular topics
may be carried In the pulpit. The con
sensus of intelligent opinion is that on
subjects vital to the well-being and
safety of the public, the church can-not-r-If
faithful to duty stand apart
from the world.
Most thinking people agree with Rev.
Thomas Dixon,' of New York, who
claims that things sacred and things
secular are one; that politics Is the
vital science of law, that all law Is di
vine, and that the sphere of the Chris
tian minister Is that of the human
conscience.
Colonel Breckinridge owes his defeat
largely to the ministers, who through
their prayers and sermons roused the
moral sense of their hearers and urged
them to stand on the side of righteous
ness. The late Professor Swing did
good service both to Clod and man by
preaching against that great strike of
last summer, which paralyzed Industry
nr.d wrought such havoc In our country.
In our civil war, the northern' pulpit
gave forth no uncertain sound, and
must be counted as a potent force in
arousing the public conscience, and
kindling anew that. spirit, of patriotism
Which united the citizens of the free
states as one man, In a holy crusade
for the preserva tion of the Union.
Christianity Is as much a matter of
living as of believing. St. James In
that one saying, "Faith without works
Is dead," struck the keynote for the
gospel ministry of all time. God's com
mand to His ancient prophet, "Cry
aloud, spare uot, lift up thy voice like
a trumpet" to show the people their
transgressions and sins, Is binding on
Ills ministers or this latter day. When
questions hard for solution vex the
body politic, the pews have a right to
look to the pulpit for guidance. In
'times of civil as well as religious peril,
It is but natural to rely upon the watch
man stationed on the walls of Zion to
sound the alarm.
And maw, in addition to news of gen
eral ag'Htiatlbon Un the world's polttilcs,
we are confronted wltlh the Intelligence
Wuat tlhe Greek ministry ijias resigned,
A grealt amount of adhesiveness camnot
be expedted from Greece, but it is un
kind dn the counsellors of that country
to refuse to act at a period when 'the
'worW Is burdened wlitlh the Bourgeois
eaMnet difficulty; itihe Hawaiian revolt,
utwl ex-Oovernior Pat!tlson's letter of
aoceptunctt. In view of all things (this
move upon iDhe parlt of the unruly minis
try of Greece Is deserving of censure.
A vivid Illustration of the power of
the press has been given In the literary
efforts of wild western correspondent?,
who made a dreaded depperado out of
one Rill Cook. This long-haired cltl
stenVw'hoso murderous exploits have
evidently been confined to the wringing
of the neck of an unsuspecting occu
pant of a henroost at nightfall or the
laughter of a jack rabbit at long
range on the plains, In the hands of the
correspondent became an object that
made 'timid people In the vicinity of
Oklahoma shudder at the mention of
his name. When finally rounded up,
however, Bill did not exhibit the slight
est anxiety to shed blood, but surren
dered with the readiness of a AVeary
Willie who seeks a night's lodging In
the Scranton station house. Bill Cook
of special correspondence, and Bill
Cook, the ,half-starved vagabond of
real life, appear to be characters en
tirely at variance.
John Redmond, the leader of the
Parnelllte wing of the Irish party,
goes back to parliament with the de
termination to do hl utmost to oust the
governmenlandallownoliUHlnoss to be
transacted until Ireland shall have
been granted .Home Rule. If Mr. Red
mond remains true to bis programme
the next English parliament will not be
without exciting features. While that
body will contain many broad-minded
men who are willing to grant a meas
ure of Home Rule to Ireland they will
violently oppose any effort to make all
other forms of 'legislation subservient
to the Home Rule Issue.
Records vs. Promises.
The Philadelphia Inquirer thus coolly
spikes the Puittisvin mayoralty boom
wtlvldh 'has recently been gathering wind
for Its sails Urorn the various Dem
ocratic organs o tlhe Quaker City and
of Who Btalte ult large that are piping
lustily In the Interest of non-partisanship
:
Altogether too much talk Is being mnde
about the Ineligibility of .Mr. Paulson as
a candidate for mayor. Lawyers divide
on the subject, mid only the supreme
court cun decide. Uut that court will
never be called upon to deckle, hence all
this talk Is a wuste of time. Mr. Pattlson
cannot be elected mayor of this town.
Mr. Pattlson is a candidate, urged by his
friends as a muu who would give us a
non-partisan administration. Wo have
seen Just what non-purtlsanslilp meuns
with Mr. Puttlson. All his appointments
as governor have been of the exeromo
partisan stripe. His chief advisor bus
been the head of the Democratic machine.
That machine has been run to strengthen
the Democratic parly, und particularly
that section of It controlled absolutely
by Mr. Pattlson und Mr. Harrlty.
Mr. Pattlson accepts the nomination
with many specious promises. Hut after
all. whut do they uniount to? lie has
twice been elected governor on a non
partisan basis, und he has proved his par
tisanship by the most partisan of applont
ments. Mr. Paulson's non-partlsun views
consist In handing the control of things
political over to Mr. Harrlty. Promises
are well enough In their way. but there
are the records, and the records mako
of Mr. Pattlson the most pronounced of
Democratic partisans.
We don't want a Pox and Vaux police
force In this city. We don't want men
tried and tested in the lire department
and the police department turned out of
otlice simply to muke room for a lot of
Democratic heelers and greenhorns.
In short, we do not want partisan De
mocracy In any:.form. Mr. Puttlson, par
tisan Democrat of the Harrlty order, can
not be elected mayor, hence whut Is (ho
use of getting excited over the question
of eligibility? Let .Mr. Pattlson run by all
means. It will end him as a presidential
candidate.
Now Mme. Caslmlr-Perier Is said to
have been the cause that led her hus
band to resign the presidency of the
French republic. He will seek a di
vorce from her, advices from the
French capital say.
-
. Mr. Qrlggsby's Bill.
There is no question that represf nta
tlve CSrlgjjsby. of Lancaster, Is de
serving of attention. In fact Mr.
Griggsby Is entitled to become the all
absorbing topic of conversation; his
name should become a 'household word.
Mr. Grlggsby has Introduced a bill Into
the legislature that provides penalties
for the adulteration of liquors. This
measure If enacted and enforced would
give assurance to the average connois
seur of snake bite remedies that In
Pennsylvania one may Indulge In spirit
ual refreshment and at the same time
feel, confident that any following ex
hilaration Is produced by a first-class
article, free from water or other im
purities so distasteful to Rdherants to
good old Kentucky customs.
It has ofte.n been suggested that the
pay of our legislators at Harrlsburg Is
not in accordance with service ren
dered; that representatives and sena
tors dtserve to receive railroad passes
and other perquisites by the way of
recompense for labor performed at $10
per day in the Interest of the common
wealth. Mr. Giiggsby' has furnished
an example of what a great mind can
occasionally create on a nominal sala
ry. In contemplating this measure it
Is easy to understand hew men grow
gray under the,, strain, of legislative
work. Something shnull le done for
Grlggsby. If Ills scale of Compensa
tion cannot be lnoreased, his notable
effort In the Interest of thirsty humani
ty should receive recognition In some
other way. Let not true statesmanship
go unrewarded.
Thirty-five bakers dn St. Louis are

National Board of Arbitration.
Congress has taken up the question of
arbitrating labor troubles and a bill
that has for Its object the settlement f
lubor disputes without recourse to
strikes, through tho medium of an
arbitration commission, has been Intro
duced at Washington and reported fav
orably from committee.
In every conflict between labor and
capital the great public are the greatest
sufferers. They are compelled to en
dure Inconveniences and privations and
In some cases have to face an actual
reign of terror because men who are
at the head of the conflicting forces
make pride or might their standard
and refuse to grant any concessions
that would lead to an amicable settle
ment of the matter at Issue.
It is expecting too much to say that
an arbitration commission, even though
It emanated from tho head of the gov
ernment at Washington, would find it
possible to settle all conflicts between
labor, but there Is no doubt that the
Influence of BUch a board would be
beneficial.

Certainty of Punishment llcttcr Than
Severity.
Judge Wilson, in his charce to tho
grand Jury, I'nited Slutes circuit court,
I'Jaston, Md., Nov. 7, lWtl, said: "To pre
vent crimes Is the noblest end und aim of
criminal Jurisprudence; to punish them Is
one of the meuns neccBsury for th ac
complishment of this noble end and aim.
The impunity of an offender encourages
him tu repeat his offenses. The wit
nesses of his Impunity ure temptel to be
ci.me his diticlple.1 in guilt. These consid
erations form the strongest some view
them us the sole urgument for the Inflic
tion of punishments by human laws.
There ure in punishments three qualities
which render them lit preventives of
crime: The llrst Is their moderation ; the
second is their speedlness; the third is
their certainty. We ure told by some
writers thai, the number of crimes Is un
questionably diminished by the severity
of punishments, if we inspect the great
est purt of t ' criminal codes, their un
wieldy bulk anil their ensanguined hue
will force us to acknowledge that this
opinion muy pleud in its favor u very high
untlqulty und a very extensive reception.
On accurate and unbiased examination,
however, It will uppcur to be un opinion
unfounded und pernicious, Inconsistent
with the principles of our nuture and by
u necessary consequence with those of
wise and good government. So fur as any
sentiment of generous sympathy Is suf
fered by a merciless code to remain uinong
the citizens, their abhorrence of crimes Is,
by the barbarous exhibitions of hunvin
ugony, sunk In their commiseration of
criminals. These burbnrous exhibitions
are productive of unothcr bad effect a
latent and gradual, but a powerful, be
cause a natural aversion to the laws.
Can luws which nre a natural and a Just
object of uverslon receive a cheorful
obedience or secure a regular and uniform
execution? Tho expectation Is forbidden
by some of the strongest principles of the
human frame. Such luws, while they ex
cite the compassion of society for those
who suffer, rouse Its Indignation against
those who are active In the steps prepara
tory to their sufferings. When, on the
other hand, punishments nre moderate,
and mild, every one will, from a sense of
Interest and duty, take his proper part in
detecting, in exposing, In trying, anil In
passing sentence on crimes. The conse
quence will be, that criminals will Relilom
elude the vigilance or bailie the energy of
public Justice. True It Is thut on some
emergencies excesses of a temporary na
ture muy receive a sudden check from rig
orous penalties; but their continuance and
their frequency Introduce anil diffuse a
hardened insensibility among the citizens;
and this insensibility. In its turn, gives oc
casion or pretense to the farther extension
and multiplication of those penalties.
Thus one degree of severity opens ami
smooths the wuy for another, till, at
length, under the specious appearance of
necessary justice, a system of cruelty is
established by law. Such a system Is cal
culated to eradicate all the manly senti
ments of the soul, and to substitute in
their place dispositions of the most de
praved und degrading kind, lint the cer
tainty of punishments Is that quality
which Is of the greatest Importance, in
order to constitute them lit preventives of
crimes. This quality is, in Its operation,
most merciful as well as most powerful.
When a criminal determines on the com
mission of crime he Is not so much Influ
enced by the lenity of the punishment
as by the expectutlon that In somo way
or other, he may be fortunate enough to
avoid it. This Is particularly the case
with him when this expectation is cher
ished by examples or by experience of
impunity, it was the saying of Solon thut
he hud completed his system of laws by
tho combined energy of Justice and
strength. By this expression he meant
to denote that laws of themselves would
be of very Utile service unless they were
enforced by a faithful and an effectual
execution of them. The strict execution
of every criminal law Is the dictate of nu
manlty us well as of wlsdon."
To Protect Organized l.ahor.
Pittsburg Times: "The bill laid before
the Pennsylvania legislature to guarantee
the right to belong to labor organizations,
uncovers Just such a dltllculty ns compul
sory urbltrutlon does. It forbids, on pen
ulty of tine and Imprisonment, the dis
charge of a man from employment for be
longing to one of these, (lovernor Hast
ings said in his Inaugural uddress that
labor has the sume right to organize thut
capital has, and that Is certainly true,
both in law and nuture. Hut In law there
ure other rights. Wherever organization
is prohibited it Is upon the conviction that
It Is hostile to the employer, and here tho
question arises, cun u corporation be com
pelled to keep In Its employ a person be
lived to be Inlmicu! to It? The employer
Insists that he be free to give employment
to men of his own choice, which the pro
posed act would prohibit. On the other
hund, the acknowledgement of the ab
stract right Is a mere mockery. Kvery
form of oppression would be entirely con
sistent with It. A right is of no value
unless it can be exercised, and that of or
ganization has no value If men can exer
cise it only at the cost of thler livelihood.
The problem raised by the bill Is how to
reconcile tho Inherently irreconcilable,
things. But this Is not the first time such
a problem has been encountered. The
pathway of civilization Is strewn with tho
like of It. The labor question Is a ques
tion of civilization, und It will have to be
settled as nil tho others were, or the chief
ones, by concession, by compromise.
Whut tho compromise In this case will
llnully bp Is not clear, but one of some
kind it must be. No abstract right, vltul
to the liberty und welfare of the Indus
trial class, cun remain In tho abstract.
The fact that capltul organizes for Its pro
tection Is Itself the best of all guarantees
thut In the end lubor will be allowed Just
us freely to orgunlze for the same pur
pose. That Is bound to come, but mean
time let those concerned possess their
souls In patience, remembering thut fun
damental rights have always been nurd to
establish."
Sentiment Against the Death Penalty.
llurrlsburg correspondence of the Phila
delphia Press: "There Is a very pro
nounced sentiment III the legislature
agulnst capltul punishment, judging by
the discussion In committee Thursduy af
ternoon over Mr. Cotton's bill which sub
stitutes electrocution for hanging. A
numlitr of members of tho committee, ex
pressed themselves In favor of abolish
ing capltul punishment In this state. As
for electrocution, tho sentiment teemed to
prevail thut Inasmuch us this mode of ad
ministering the deuth ptniilty was still
In an experimental stage In New York
stato It would be unwise at present to
udupt It In Pennsylvania."
Judicial Pensions.
Wllkes-Barre Leader: "There seems to
be a chance of the passage of Mr. litter's
bill for pensioning judges. The proposi
tion Is to retire all Judges after twenty
years of consecutive or thirty years of
disjointed service at full pay, provided
the judges returned do not resume ac
tive purctlcu or give advice to corpora
tions. This last provision Is probably In
tended more to save the prollt of advice
giving to tho balance of tho profession,
than fo any other purpose, though since
corporations are notoriously the richest
mines in which lawyers dig, It would be
quite unfair to pay a man out of the state
treasury on tho ground that he has earned
the rfcht of surcease from labor, when ha
was (at the same time goou enough and
willing to do the work of the best paying
of all clients. There is that in a really
good judgo, honorable and upright, who
gives twenty of the best years of his life
to the bench, that entitles him to a large
share of public gratitude. Nobody would
object to pensioning this sort. Uut there
are also Judges who, without having
eurned any gratitude, might, with prollt
to the people, be pensioned at double pay
utter the first three months of -service.
Fortunately this vicinity Is not cursed
with nny of tho latter, but is served rather
by men whom everybody would delight
to see pensioned, when they have become
too old for further service, If they needed
It, and pensioned liberally at that." .
The Menucc of lluri ityisiii.
From the Wllkea-Itarre News-Dealer.
Some of tho Republican organs, tho
Scrunton Tribune mining tho number, are
trying to make It appear that Mr. Pat
tlson Is the candidate of William F; Har
rity for mayor of Philadelphia. It Is
doubtful If the voters of Philadelphia
will be deceived by any such argument.
They know better. If Robert K. Puttl
son is elected mayor he will be no man's
man. During his long and successful po
litical career he was never subservient
to uny boss or clique, and we are sure ho
will not consent to wear Harrlty's collar
at this late day.

From the Syracuse Post.
McSwutters I wish I could get out of

MeSwItters Why don't you go up to
him with a roll of bills In your hund and
say: "Dohson, here's thut fifty I bur

McSwutters But I only borrowed ten.
MeSwItters That's ull right. The ob

Abolish tho Cruel Practice.
From the Wllkes-Barre Record.
The docking of horses' tails Is a barbar
ous practice and merits the severest con
demnation. Kdltor Yost, of the Scranton
Republican, was entirely Justified in the
Btund he tool; agulnst this Inhuman fad
und the Kecord heartily seconds ills mo

THE WIFE.
In youth he wrought, with eyes ablur,
Loin-faced and long of hair
In youth In youth, he painted her
A sister of the air
Could clasp hur not, but felt the stir
Of pinions everywhere.
She lured his gaze, In braver days.
And tranced him siren-wise:
And he did paint her, through a haze
of sullen paradise,
With scars of kisses on her fuce.
And embers in her eyes.
And now nor dream, nor wild conceit
Though faltering, us before
Through tears he paints her, as Is meet,
Tracing the dear face o'er
With Idled patience meek and sweet
As mother Mary wore.
