Representative Hiirvoy is to 1)0 com
mended for liia promptness and fore
thought In proposinir, for enactment at
Harrisbure, a law which would punish
ly fine the man who persists, against
judgment, beauty and reason, in muti
lating Jils horse's tall. Tlie act should,
however, 'be amended to Include pun
ishment for employers who discharge
employes for., protesting against this
barbarous Imparted custom.
Hake the Kirmess a Grand Success.
Thut la tho most gracious form of
Tiliilanthrophy rtilch ministers to
human beings In distress. It is well
enough to prevent or to alleviate cruel
ty to dumb beasts. Those charitable
agencies which have this ns their mis
sion f re worthy of cordial praise. Rut
we think it will be conceded that the
iocds of those who are the victims of
cruelty to man are of superior import
ance, oiid that they should receive
priority In tlie list of one's material
LenefatjUons. ,
Th') general announcement of a
Uiimess soon to be held in our city has
already informed readers of The Trib
une that the proceeds of this interesting-
and instructive puriMjsed entertain
ment are to go Into the badly depleted
treasury of tho Lackawanna hospital.
J ut has the .casual reader of this an
nouncement ever paused to relief t upon
what significance there is in it'.' Has
be given due thought to the almost
Inestimable value of a well-equipped
hospital situated near to thebusy streets
of this large city, and in speedy com
munication with the scene of any run
away, street carcollision or other serious
neeldent? Does he appreciate the ex
tent 'to ' which such a hospital, at nil
times open to the unfortunate, relieves
human suffering of the most critical
and poignant kind; enables men with
out other resources to receive, at such
periods of urgent and Intense need,
skilful attention by expert physicians,
surgeons and nurses, and In a thousand
wayo stands between misfortune and
physical agony if not outright death?
It Is customary with most of us to
pass lightly over these cases of phy
sical affliction so long as they are con
fined to other people. Almost anybody
can suffer vicariously and feel quite
comfortable while doing so. But if
those who read these lines would re
member the tremendous energy of some
personal pain of their own a severe
ense of toothache, for instance, or a
neald or burn or sprain and apply the
lesson of it to those dally cases of phy
sical suffering which a free public hos
pital treats, relieves -and cures, we
should not doubt the entire and hearty
success of the forthcoming charitable
entertainment In the Froth ingham
theater, the proceeds of which will go
toward enlarging and furthercqulpplng
the now Inadequate single free hospital
in this Immense community.
Knute Nelson,' the senator-elect from
Minnesota, is chiefly conspicuous
throughout the west for his pronounced
low-tarlft views. While in congress he
voted against the HcKinley bill and
fought hard, within party lines, to pre
vent 'the spread of the impression which
prevailed throughout the northwest In
3890 and 1892 that 'the Republican party
was committed to ultra-protection.
Had his counsel prevailed, tlie 'tidal
wave of 1894 would not have occurred,
because there would have been' no prior
Demooraitlo tidal wave ito call it Into
existence.
' Somewhat Inconsistent.
In speaking of .the "cranky," "Impu
dent," "unfair," "un-American" etc.,
compulsory education bill which is be
fore the Harrlsburg legislature, tho es
teemed Scran'ton Truth says: "Of
course If we have a compulsory law
we must have schools to accommodate
the children, who will be gathered In
from factories mrnl other places where
ithey are earning bread for themselves
and their widowed mothers and young
er brothers and sisters, who have been
orphaned and left destitute by the sud
den death of a father In the mines."
Does (the Truth believe that children
would, under the Farr bill, bo "gath
ered in from the factories and other
places" where they are "earning bread"
for "widowed mothers," etc. ? If It
does,- what about the factory inspec
tion taw, "which the Truth ardently sup
ported, and which expressly prohibits
the employment, In "factories and other
places," of children between 8 and 13
years of age the years covered by tthe
Furr bill? The Truth, on the one hand
earnestly advocated a law prohibiting
children of such ugo from "earning
bread" in factories "for themselves und
widmved mothers," etc., and yet It now
declares that these Idle children shall
not be sent 'to school, because It thinks
that they ought 'to be busy violating the
law which the Truth originally cham
pioned.
Our neighbor, It strikes us, is not
altogether consistent in this matter.

Inspiration Is the keynote of Hunts'
pinetry us it Is of the poetry of the
American liuriis, James W.hitenmb
Hiley the Inspiration of nature speak
ing n unschooled niessiige through
human dips direct to tlie hearts of men.
Otihms built wonderful verse or se
creted deep thoughts; but l!ii:'iis for
Scut la and J&ilcy for our own land 'have
iiilHM'd the beauties of air and fikks
and 'limpid streams, and sung the songs
of the common people. Hence their
niLimury Is etrrnal.
Need of a New Cabinet Office.
It sueins probable that one of the re
sults of the multiplying demand for
state drpartments will some day be the
creation of a new cabinet ullice, to be
known as the secretaryship of th.- In
terior. This department could, through
various bureaus, cov r such subjects
as labor, mining, agriculture, banks
and banking and similar fields of nter
prlse calling for state supervision much
more economically and effectively than
they could be covered by independent
departments, besides offering a more
compact and statesmanlike system of
supervision.
As the state's wealth and Industries
shall develop, the pressure for such su
pervision will naturally increase. If a
new cabinet department should be cre
ated flexible In its nature, this pressure
could be accommodated, from time to
time, by the establishment of subordi
nate bureaus, without 'involving an un
wise multiplication in the number of
high-salaried state departments. The
same dilllculty Is under consideration
in New York, where the formation of
state bureaus, departments, commis
sions und boards has proceeded at a
pace unparalleled in any other state.
A strong effort will be made at Albany
thid year to weed out the sinecures
among these numerous aippmiutiv? olli
ces, and to bring all ollices of a kindred
nature and purpose together under a
common head.
l'enn.-;ivan!a, however. Is In a posi
tion to illustrate the truth of the adage
that "prevention Is easier than cure."
Our Plate sinecures as yet are few.
They should be kept so. This can be
done by classifying new otlieis under
a general department, and by going
slow in the creation of uch ollices.
There is danger 'ahead at Harrlsburg in
the easy spirit in which the present
legislature contemplates propositions
looking to the creation of new commis
sions. It Is easier to create such com
missions than to abolish them. Hence
the need of caution before the mischief
shall have been precipitated.
"We reproduce olsewhere the Wilkcs-
IUrre loader's reply to our suggestion
that manual .training in the public
schools, as commonly advocated, seeks
to 'educate specialists at the public ex
pense. AVe agree with all that the
Leader says, and suspect that only a
misapprehension divides us. What The
Tribune opposes, In the public school
system, Is not elementary education,
wht'ther manual or Intellectual, but the
ginger bread "finisihiiig touches" which
properly -belong to the domain of
private enterprise. Tlie mission of the
public schools is to teach the masses
the rudiments of a general education.
Any thing that will help boys and girls
to pn pare for the trades has naturally
as much right In 'the public peho'ols as
have those studies which lead to the
learned professions. i!ut the public
should not be taxed to establish schools
of business, schools of mining, schools
of w-:iod carving and design, schools of
law, th.iology, medicine or art. Such
schools should be provided by private
enterprise or benevolence or both.
They 'lie outside the proper sphere of
the common, public schools.
Judge Schuyler, of the Northampton
coui'ts has enjoyed for years a reputa
tion for putrimtlsm and firmness In his
treallment of ilhe tlaws relating to nat
uralization. He has recently, however,
taken a further utep in this direction by
ordering tour special quanieny houmous
of court to consider tlie applications of
persona desiring to be naturalized. In
these sessions only will such applica
tions be considered; and the effect of
the iruling will be that applicants will
bo rigorously cross-examined, imitead
of being ground 'through the mill ;rt a
velocity corresponding with the politi
cal 'necessities of the campaign mana
gers. This example Is so praiseworthy
as 'to Inspire a hope that It may be
generally Imitated throughout the com
monwealth. Whaft Is the, Chicago Hemld driving
at when lit says: "If Democrats In con
gress had poured on Benjamin Harri
son for proposing a pension for Queen
lill a itJthe of the abuse heaped by the
Republicans on President Cleveland for
refusing ito meddle with Hawaiian af
fairs, we should have heard the Re
publican press ringing with denuncia
tion of their lack of patriotism. A more
undignified proposal than Ho pension
an ex-queen put off iher paltry throne
by our connivance ils not to be found in
the history of a republic, ancient or
modern." ? "When did Renjamln Harri
son or any other Republican propose to
pension Queen Lll? We fear the Her
ald Is laboring .under another delusion.
When a Republican candidate or
measure goes down before a "moral
wave" dt Is generally true that that
candidate or that measure is In some
manner out of Joint; and it should be
the signal for Republicans to (jet both
back liv llmo or let bolh drop.
The Wayne Independent and the
Montrose Democrat both credit to The
Tribune a prediction, thut Hon. Galuslm
A. Grow will succeed Senator Cameron.
The Tribune never rtiade such a pre
diction. The house 'commlltoe,on education, of
which Representative Farr, of this city,
is chairman, has favorably reported
the bill enabling Bolrool districts to set
aside for the use ot public libraries 2
per cent, of the collected school tax.
There Is little question of the educa
tional advantage of public, libraries;
and 2 per cent, of the school tax could
not be better. employed than In main
taining and extending such libraries.
Kcrantonlans have only to look to tho
Albright Memorial library to Ainder
stand tlie merits of this bill. '

As marking the progress of common
sense In libel 'legislation, an Indiana
proposition 'Is interesting. It provides
that before any suit shall be llled for
libel the aggrieved party shall notify
the publisher of the paper of the in
justice done him and shall give him an
opportunity to 'retract the statements.
If this is done within three days, where
the patter offending is a daily, and In
4en days, where the paper is a weekly,
the plaintiff shall recover only actual
damage sustained. The statute books
of Jill the states will eventually have to
come up to this position. It Is the only
ten-able one consistent with equal and
exact Justice to all persons concerned.
A bill has 'been Introduced In the
Indiana legislature providing for the
teaching of the Herman language in all
public schools where twenty-live pa

schools of Itihe United States until there
Is no lack of knowledge of the Kngllfii

LEGISLATIVE TOPICS.
It has remained for Senator (Jrady, of
Philadelphia, to ufford corporation influ
ences the greatest shock of the present
session. He has Introduced a bill which

forestry commission.
r.diicntlon's Chief Defect.
Vilkes-Hiirre Leader: "The chief de
fect of tho public school systom, as now
generally conducted, Is thnt It directs the
Inclinations of our boys to specialties In
which more men are already seeking a
livelihood than can find it, and that the
principal value of manual training Is
that It is Intended to divert the tendency
to more general lines of avocation in
which the graduates will be of fur greater
use not only to themselves but to the
whole community. Our schools now are
sending our boys Into the luw, medicine,
bookkeeping, other forms of cierleul la
bor, unythlng and everything In which
tho hands can be kept cleun from the
dirt of honest loll. These ure specialties
already greatly overdone. Manual train
ing will dignify und populurize the cull
Ings of the carpenter, machinist, bluck
smlth, tin worker, etc. which are not
overdone by sending Into them a larger
percentage of boys who have had the
benefits of u common school education.
1L will In thut wuy put tin inlinltely larger
number of our youth In the wuy of proper
ly supporting themselves und contribut
ing their proper slmro to the support of
the government. Tho reul triumph of the
public school system, the only triumph
that can be considered satisfying und en
during, will come when, In great part
through their aid, the Intelligent inun has
reused to be the exceptional man; when It
will be considered us Important that a
mechanic und a luborer shull have a fair
education ns that u lawyer or a book
keeper should be so fortified: whun both
the hands and the minds of the young
shall be trained with a view ultimately
to making the most and the best of ev
ery culling, und to lifting every vocutlon
that Is useful in the economy of the people
to one general high plane of excellence
and equality. In other words, we want
educated men In the professions, before
we cun lay and honest claim to being nn
ediicuted people. And, to our mind, the
first essential for the attainment of this
end Is such modification of our school
system us will Incline an Increasing
number of our youth to what might be
called the dirty hand employments und a
correspondingly decreasing number to
the others."

From the Chicago Herald.
The patriotic Americans who propose
to erect a monument to the memory of
General Itlchurd Montgomery, who wus
killed In the assault on Quebec during
tho revolutionary war, have set before
themselves and the country a worthy ob
ject. The Canadian government con
sents to tho erection of such a monu
ment on the spot where General Mont
gomery fell, and it Is expected that suf
llclent funds will be collected to build a
handsome memorial shaft with appro

THE HIDDEN SONG.
O'er blooming miles of hills and dales
The wind comes from the south,
The fragrance of a myriad vales
Is borne upon its mouth:
Yet there's one flower best loved of all
Its lips have kissed while straying,
And: "Sweetheart,
Sweetheart,
Sweetheart '."
I hear the zephyr saying.
Willi many a leap and tuneful turn
The brook runs through the wold,
P.y shadowed moss und quivering fern
o'er the sands that gleam like gold.
In one fair dell it lingered long
'Till 'hid its carol ringing:
"Oh Sweetheart,
Sweetheart,
Sweetheart!"
I hear the brook still singing,
Let breeze nnd brook, melodious twain,
Love's loyul heralds be,
And may their murmuring refrain
1 in line thy heart to me.
Ity dny and night through Joy nnd pain
I see thy sweet eyes beaming;
Oh, sweetheart.
Sweetheart,
Sweetheart!
Of thee my heurt Is dreaming!
