Home Evangelization.
At a time when many good people
are paying money out of their abund
ance to the support of Christian mis
sions in foreign lands, it is inteivstinir
to notice and proper to commend the
efforts of the executive committee of
the Lackawanna Presbytery to locate,
In this vicinity, u home mission for the
secular as well as spiritual regenera
tion of people of foreign tongues. V.'e
understand tho purpose of this new
mission to contemplate, at first, the
instruction of these speakers of for
eign languages in the use of the Eng
lish tongue, to the end that they may
eventually fit themselves and likewise
their children to become useful as well
as moral citizens of this, their adopted
country; and also progressive members
of the Christian church.
There are, iu the upper coal fields,
and near by, probably about 75,0'jO per
sons who do not know how to speak,
read or write the language In which
the laws that nominally govern them
are framed. The two counties of Lack
awanna and Luzerne had, according to
the census of 1MU, a total population
of 34S,J!)1, of which 110.504 were foreign
born. By analyzing the 2ii.su;; males
and females in our own county
who belonged to this class, we may ap
proximate to an idea of what percent
age of these residents do not under
stand English. The census shows that
2S4 were born In Canada or Newfound
land; 6 in South America; 7 in Cuba or
the West Indies; 14,521 in Ireland; 7,517
In England; 1,270 in Scotland; 8,511 in
"Wales; 7.242 In Germany; 1,69!) in Aus
tria; 13 In Holland; 3 in Iielglum; 410
In Switzerland; 12 in Norway; 1U0 in
Sweden; 46 in Denmark; .S53 In Russia;
1,018 in Hungary; 21, In Bohemia; 7S1 in
Poland; 111 in France; 1.2H3 in Italy; 2
In Spain; 7 in China; 8 in Australia, and
r3 born at sea or in countries not speci
fied. In Luzerne county, the number
of Austrian: was 3,C2S Russians, 1.363;
Hungarians, f,lo4; Poles, 7,4us, and Ital
ians, 1,861. It Is no reflection upon
these foreign-born residents to say that
the number of them who are unskilled
In the English speech comes chiefly
from Austria, Italy, Russia, Hungary,
and Poland. Many Austrians, some
Italians and a few Hungarians and
Poles ara educated In their own lan
guage but not In English. Remember
ing that there are, in addition to these
foreign-born persons, almost as many
again who, while born in this country,
of foreign-born parentage, are nut yet
being generally educated in the English
language, it seems to us a safe con
clusion that there are, altogether, 73,
000 non-English-using residents of the
region Included within the bounds of
the Lackawanna Presbytery.
Up to this time the burden of In
structing these people In English has
been assumed almost exclusively by the
Catholio church. That church has done
yallant service In this direction, with
out flourish of trumpet or effort to at
tract attention. We would be the last
to underrate the good Influence of the
Catholic church upon this yet unassim
Jlated portion of our population. Yet
it Is growing evident, from day to day,
that, the Protestant churches have a
larger duty In thlsmatter than they have
hitherto discharged. If Instead of pay
ing quite so much heed to the nude
nomads of mld-Afrlca or to the dusky
denizens of Patagonia the various
l'rotestant denominations, either iu
conjunction with their Catholic neigh
bors or separately. Would da wtont they
could to hasten the Incorporation of
this now undigested home element'lnto
the body politic, we are radical enough
to believe that the not result would,
In a few years, b Infinitely better for
all concerned.
Senator Quay has conveyed his cor
poral entity to Florida; but it is eafe
to suspect that his political organism
will, nevertheless, be very much in evl
dence at Harrlsburg.
The Return of Reason.
The fact that the Indiana senate has,
by a vote of 27 to 11, passed a bill pro'
riding "that In all actions for libel or
slander it shall be sufllcient to establish
the defense, of justification to prove it
by a preponderance of the evidence"
(would seem to be almost Incredible, tout
it Is true. It is simply another case of
common sense reasserting itself after
a long Interval.
Just .who first propounded the theory
that the truth dare not be printed con
cerning a man unless he be a public
ofllcial or a candidate for office is a fact
veiled In obscurity; but It Is common
knowledge that libel legislation for sev
eral centuries has blindly followed this
extraordinary doctrine, with as much
pertinacity and misdirected zeal as If It
had been tho solemn conviction of the
makers of our laws that editors and
publishers, as a class, were devoid of
moral .principle and fit subjects for
strait-Jacket guardianship.
It Is not gratifying to one's state pride
to think that Indiana, and not Pennsyl
vania, leads the way back to common
sense principles. In fact, when It comes
to Pennsylvania's libel law state pride
on general principles retires into its
shell. Nevertheless, w.hether occurring
In Indiana or elsewhere, the return ot
reason In this matter Is a notable event,
lit to 'be heralded from the house tops
and saluted by means of an earnest
brass baud.
If Charles V. Warwick is defeated for
mayor of Philadelphia, he can thank
David Martin. Martin persists In run
ning Warwick's campaign and in other,
wise thrusting himself forward, at a
time when the less seen and heard of
Martin the better it would be for Re
publican chances. Mr. Warwick erred
In ever taking a spotted nomination.
Is he nut now again in error iu failing
to put David .Martin Into a closet?
Democracy's Last Chance.
Senator Quay's bill to create another
Federal judicial district in Pennsylva
nia is of interest to Sctantnnians in
many Hays. If it passes, it will, among
other things, open Up several new of-
lices. such us Judge, marshal, district
attorney and clerks, and of course this
is a consideration not without couse.
queiico to many. The bill is of Interest,
also, to litigants In this section, since it
would spare the majority of those hav.
lntr business in the federal courts from
the now awkward necessity of frequent
ly making the long, tedious and ex
pensive journey to Pittsburg a hard
ship out of all proportion to the magni
tude of the Interests lying in this im
mediate region.
Senator Quay's bill contemplates, in
addition to the two present districts a
third district, to be known as the north
ern district, with the court sitting al
ternately at Williamsport and Scran-
ton, where the judge for the western
district now holds court at intervals,
The proposed hew district will embrace
twenty counties, all but three of which
are ''to be detached from the western
districts. Some of these are among thu
most populous and important counties
in the interior o fine slate, and are such
as would find either Williamsport or
Scrauton natural centers for the trans
action of business and generally easy
of access. For convenience, the district
is to have two divisions, one composed
if the counties to which Williamsport
is the handiest and the other of tlu
counties nearest Scranton. The Phila
delphia Press, despite the fact that this
arrangement would separate Pike,
Wayne and Monroe from the territory
now tributary to Philadelphia, says it
"has evidently been well thought out.
The counties have been chosen with
very excellent discrimination, and from
the extreme eastern border of the state
all along the northern tier, and extend
ing to a line somewhat west of the cen
ter, tile additional court with the facili
ties it would offer could hardly fail to
be regarded as a Very decided conveni
ence." Thus Indorsed, the bill will in all
probability soon become a la,w, if not
during this congress, certainly during
the one succeeding, and the first nfllcials
of the court thus established would in
that event be Democrats. Scranton, us
the largest city In such a district, .would
naturally be entitled to the Judge. ThN
at once opens a field of speculation
scarcely second in importance to the
original measure Itself. Would the
president appoint, us his selection for
the nuw Judgeship, Mr. Amermaii, ex-
Judge Smith, Mr. Horn or Mr. Comegys?
Or, if the judg-s should be denied us,
whom would he name for marshal or
district attorney? It Is worth while
keeping an eye on this measure. There
may be music in it ere long.

Patriotism Above Partisanship.
The sentiment whlcJi has prompted
Senators Sherman anil Quay to proffer
to the Cleveland administration their
best efforts in uid of .any wise measure
calculated to meet the financial .needs
of fhe government Is well expressed by
Senator Cullom, In his recent speech
before 'the Illinois legislature acknowl
edging his re-eli-ction to the Culled
Status senate. Senator Cuiloni said:
The Interests of this great people have
become so vast lind complicated Unit large
expenditures are absolutely necessary.
We have the wealth and resources to
meet those expenses; It Is only the part
of honor to meet them faithfully anil
promptly. Our people are too proud n nil
patriotic lo consider liny other course for
fine moment mid demand with one voice
that this be done and our credit be lnnln
tiilncd at th" highest point and never bo
allowed lo depreclute. It Is, therefore,
our msnlfcst duty at the earliest possible
moment to Inoreaso the revenue until It
meets our expenses. I'litll that enn be
lone there Is no other course for us but
the Pule of bonds, Cpon this question
there la no need of apprehension or alarm
among the people. This generation has
lino In a vast reduction In our wur debt
and taken our full share or this burden
from tho national government and there
run be no greater danger or harm us long
bh money can lie borrowed at Wj or 3 per
cent. In doing ho, rather than allow the
national credit to suffer. Wo should tint
needlessly Inerensn our bonded debt, but
when money Is required to meet our pay
ments und maintain our credit It should bn
clone promptly and fearlessly in such
quantities us will accomplish the. end de
sired and place, our credit beyond any
question. Unless this question of revenue
Ih settled anil tho country placed on a
sound and solvent basis no permanent
or satisfactory solution of tho currency
question Is possible). When It Is Bettled
ways will be found to reorganize and re
form the currency and coinage, to lc
termlne the amount und kind of money,
both paper and coin, which shall be Is
sued. In this we must conform to and he
guided by the fundamental principle that
every dollar Issued or authorised by the
American government must be equul In
debt paying power and the currency
which Is to circulate among the greatest
manufacturing and commercial people of
the world must be as good us the Iwst to
be found on the earth. These ure ques
tions upon which ull patriotic! citizens
should utrlve to ugroe In the Interest of
prosperity and good government, and
should not be the grounds of contention
In purtlsun strire.
It Is proper iU say that the financial
tangle would lint -have 'been so dilllcult
nor complex had the Democratic ma
jority In congress evinced anything like
sLa'Uvsnianshlp in its treatment of the
revenue problem. That dltllculty, how
ever, Is now upon us, and independent
of the politics of the situation the credit
of the government must and will be
maintained.
Tho Republican party in Pennsyl
vania s-'tunds doubly committed to com
pulsory education. The elements of op
position to that measure which were at
one time feared by the politicians have
not arisen; on the contrary many fac
tors once thought hostile 'are now, as a
maitter of fact, aggressively friendly,
if the party leaders think It good poll
tics to attempt any jugglery with this
sentiment which they have twice en
couraged, the mas-ses are very likely to
disagree with them by un emphatic
majority.
A committee of the Illinois legisla
ture, which visited Lincoln's tomb,
found It dilapidated uud unkempt, and
will urge a speedy remedy by securing
tho property iu perpetual trust to Ihe
slate. Illinois will be' irretrievably .dis
graced if It does u.it show this small
mark of respect to the memory of ln-r
greatest and noblest son.
When the dry-as-du.its get through
with th 'lr jh.toiieal cxm-clscs on
finance It would lie jimt like Senator
Quay to ofiY'r u common sense solution
of the currency problem.
It Would be interesting to know Just
how much money It has cost the pro
moters of the Xicaraguuu canal "job"
to attain their present position at
Washington.

Some riguruN on thu Stihjoet.
licpresenlatlvo Fair at Pittsburg: "If
we deem it necessary to keep out undesir
able classes of Immigrants, because of
their poverty and innoiunee. Is It not or
the greatest importance that the chil

ited know-ledge of our customs and laws.
They cannot talk Knglish. Mo.-t eager

They have lowered the dignity of labor
and reduced wages. They are with us.
however, if not of us, and the process of
their assimilation must be patiently
awaited; but what of their children? Shail
they follow the lines of their parents?
I'Vw of them are being e-dueateil. The
Illiterate sons and daughters of these Ill
Iterates will be more dangerous than their
parents. They will Imbibe some of tho
sharpness and shrewdness natural lo the
i oiin 1 1 . and these .qualities will add
power to their inherent tendencies. Safe
ly demands that they be educated. In
struction in the Knglish language will
give them a different conception of life
and citizenship. They will no longer live
as their pai'-nts lived, und they will be
come more useful to the state und to
tlii-msulvts. Do not Ut us be deceived,
however, Into thinking that compulsory
education is n ssary only for those peo
ple, though that, would be a. sulllcient rea
son lor such a law. There are thousands
of children of native parents who can
not read and write, and never will unless
education is enforced. The human heart
Is full of kindness; charitable societies
and charitable Individuals vie with each,
other In their efforts to aid the pour. Tho
most permanent Rood can be done, how
ever, by helping an unfortunate person to
help himself. The boy or girl who faces
the world without any education con
fronts a merciless storm.
"Pennsylvania Is almost alone among
tho progressive states that occupies this
remarkable position. Nearly thirty other
states have compulsory education. The
people of the Keystone state have yet to
follow tlie Injunction to them from Its
founder, 'lvlucate the people,' so far as
Its universal application Is concerned.
At the session of "HI, In advocacy of the
bill 1 then Introduced, I stated that Ill
iteracy was on the Increase In Pennsyl
vania, ami that at bast one hundred
thousand children between 8 and K years
of age were nut In attendance at any
school In this state. No one attempted
to disprove these statements. Some edu
cators doubted Ihe fact that illiteracy
was Increasing, but they acknowledged
tin.- claim that there was a shocking show
ing of non-attendants. 1 have no reason
to change my opinion us expressed at that
time. Kstimuti d reports Indicated that
there were tine hundred thousand non-tit-tendnnts
of children under II! years eif
ago who should be at school, and' Ihe
hordes of low-grade and Illiterate pecdo
that for some years previously hud been
Hoi king from foreign (-hores Into this
state on account of the opportunities of
fered to unskilled, and not ovcr-lutelM-gi-nt
labor, more than satisfy me that
there was Justification for thut claim.
Statistics will strengthen that position.
Tie; census eif lMti shows ;i difference of
over 7 per cent. In Ihe Inereasn of tho
population of Pennsylvania, und In the In
crease In n! letidiinee of all of Pennsyl
vania's schools. The e-ensus reports ulso
show thut there were In Pennsylvania ill
ISM 1.4i'.7,SIl children between 5 und 17
years of age. In that ye-nr there were not
more than l.ii,'i children In ull the
schools eif this stute, showing the start
ling discrepancy of 4117.818 children be
tween 5 and 17 years of age who did not go
to iiuy school. Let ns divide this unit into
twelve parts. The children between tl and
11 years would comprise two-thirds eif
4i'7,SI8, namely 311. H7K; those between 0 und
12 years of age one-hulf of 4i;7.SlS, or 2.H.I.
IhW, those between S und 12 yenrs of age
who would come under the educational
bill passed by the last legislature would
comprise one-tlilrd or 4i;7,SIH, or ir,j,!i:l!t.
Hetween the years! of S and 13 thete would
lie five-twelfths of 4W,!tlK. or P.H.W4 e-hll-elren
be I ween 8 and 13 years of uge who do
nut go to school.
"Previous lo the last session of the leg
islature the factory law prevented the em
ployment of chl'dren In breukers or In
factories under 12 years or age. The e-d-ucatlonal
bill was made to conform to tho
factory law, so ns to go hand In hand
with that work. The educational bill ulso
contained a section providing for an
(numeration by Ihe assessors eif nil chil
dren between 8 and 11! yenrs of nge. This
census, which Is essential for the proper
enforcement of the compulsory educa
tional bill, would also be of great service
In t-nrrylng out the purpose of the fac
tory luw, und would prevent Its ulaiso by
parents who get little boys to work mis
representing the nges of the children. At
the lust session of the legislature the age
limit for certain kinds of employment
was Increased to 13 years from 12. To
work In htirmoiiy Willi -that change It
would be wise to add ono yenr to tho
period of yeurs In which parents should be
required to educate their children. Tho
factory law has done excellent service. It
Is a Just luw. Its purposes era humano
and are endorsed by public sentiment.
Compulsory education Is not different In
principle It practically Buys Inasmuch
us a child under 13 yi-ars of ago cannot
work, ruther than have him run tho
streets or live In Idleness, with Its danger
ous tendencies, he must go to school. If
wo Buy that, children between 8 and 13
yenrs shall be educated, we have a vast
urmy to reach who do not go to any
school. To repeat, tho census returns
show: Between (fund 12 years of age who
do not go to any school, 2:i3,!Mg; between
S and 11 years ot ago who do not
go to any school, 311,878; between
8 and 12 years of age who do not go to any
school, 155,9311; between 8 and 13 years of
uge who do not go to any school, lsl.sr.M.
It would tuke volumes to point out the
losses of this feurful waste of bruin
power. The evils, the crimes, sufferings
und the Injustices resulting from this
monstrous wrong inflicted upon Innocent
children cannot be conceived by mortal
mind. Shocking as it is, It has been going
on In our commonwealth these muny
years, because of the foolish, weak, sen
tlmentul, absurd, almost criminal notion
that parental right and uuthortty extend
to the Inhuman wrong of robbing the
children of all Intellectual training."
LEGISLATIVE TOPICS.
Sanctions the Vuugliun Hill,
llnzleton Standard: "If tho bill intro
duced by Senutor Vuughnn; of Lacka
wanna, on Monday night relating to the
certllleates of miners should beeomo a
luw It will have the effect of drawing from
the coal mines the foreign miners who
now so thickly Infest thu e-oal regions
and are gradually pushing out the 1-lng-llsh-speaking
diamond-diggers. The meas
ure provides that no certificate for a
miner shall bo Issued to any person who is
unable to speak the Knglish language.
The pretext for this Is one entirely for ihe
safety of Liuiuan life, it Is stipulated ill
the bill thut a miner shall hold u eei
tllicate only who Is able to give or to heur
u warning of danger In a mine spoken In
the Knglish language. It is known that
many cerllllciites ure now held by Polish
and Hungarian miners, who do not un
derstand the Knglish tongue. A regular
trallic Iu fraudulent certilicutes has been
exposed iu Montour euimty, which shows
that these foreigners can readily procure
Ihese cei tili. atea. The Kngllsh-speukiliK
miners directly contribute lo their own
peril by taking these foreigners Into their
nines In Iheguiseof lielpersnutwlthst.ind
liie, thut they ure unable to give an Intelli
gent winning of the approach of danger
lo those miners working In their vicinity.
The bill will probably be unproved by the
labor combine which was organized from
among the members of the huuse Tues
day." Approves tho Idea.
Minneapolis Tribune: "Pennsylvania Is
ubout lo inaugurate an Important building
