Bee how we grow: Population In I860 Population In 1870 00 Population in isso 4s-bi0 Population In 1890 -'Vj Population in 1894 (estimated) 1M.OJ0 And the end Is not yet. There never was any doubt of the success of the Klrmess. Scran ton has happily not yet formed the hnblt of slighting worthy enterprises. conducted for the benefit of local charities. Never theless, the generous response already made to this call for aid for the Lacka tvanna hospital is a fit subject for re joicing and a pleasant forerunner of yet more generous responses to come. No Time for Cowardice. There is ilittle doubt that eome tim orous Republicans at Hai rlsburg would like to avoid committing the majority party In the legislature to the principle of compulsory educaton, now thxt the state 'has a Republican governor. They have no objection to that principle as a principle. Some of them, Indeed, probably -do not know wiiat that prln 'iplj really Is, or what its practical application would accomplish for tine 175,000 boys anid gtris In Pennsylvania who, although of school age, are to day growilns up to citizenship In ignor ance of the fundamental elements of a common school education. All that .they know in the premised a.ni this is not knowledge, but only surmise Is that the enactment of the Farr bill might, under demagogic conditions, cost the party a. few votes. Hence they are willing to shove the matter aside, duty or no luty. This fine kind of political general ship, we, ana glad ,to say, is In no sense, representative of Pennsylvania Re publicanism. The party may occasion ally have, deferred to such leadership In the past, but we trust that it will do so no more. The Republican party, ns the casa now stands, haa twice favored compulsory education. The last time It supported that principle overwlheamirfgly, and but for the inoon Bisuant veto of a Democratla governor tt would tottoy be the law of the eim monweailtih. For the Republican party In thepresentlegislature to suddenly re verse Itself, for no other reason in the world than he unjustifiable timidity of a. few smaill-calibred leaders who merely ima.g'linie they lead, would be a display of cowardice we'll oalcula.ted to make the legislature ridiculous in the eyes of sensible people. Such a course would be deplorable even were the fan cied danger neal. It today Is simply preposterous when we consider that the danger Is altogether on the other side. We may as wt'll be outspoken In this matter. The principle of compulsory f ducatton, as enunciated in the prudent Mil of Representative Farr, has re ceived the cordial indorsement of so cieties and religious organizations rep resenting nine-tenths of the state's population. The opposition to it which Is not purely rhetorical and In virtual Ignorance of its real provisions comes chiefly from those elements In the com mortweiallth which would be Jeoparded hy such a Jaw, because it would strike a blow Bt their greed, ignorance and Indefensible parental obstinacy. To cater to this vicious vote at the expense of the support of educated and pro gressive citizens of all creeds and faiths (would ibe not omly poor statesmanship -which 1s perhaps Immaterial to the (rooster politicians at Harrlsburg who ere opposing this measure but Ht the Bama 'time lextraordlarlly bad politics. If there is any throttling along this line, toe people will do It, and the rooster politicians twill quite certainly be the victims. It is worth while to dearly understand that! If ithe government of the United Rates desires ito embark In the canal business, it should do so Independently end "on its own hook." It should not lend Its credit to a bankrupt private enterprise, for ith profit of Individual speculators. The Morgan Nicaragua canal bill now pending in the house Is ft good bill to kill, unless, indeed, the people wish to see ithls government sink knee deep Into a colossal scandal. Pensions for Judges. Where, asks the Pittsburg Commer cial -Gazette, is the authority for ap propriating money to pay judges full Halary, for doing nothing? "Let it be conceded," It adds, "that the object la a charitable or a benevolent one, and elilill It does not fall within the scope ot teglsTaltHon. The legislature may fix ithe salaries of judges, but It would be a perversion of that power to contend ithat the salaries may be continued after the expiration of the term and Bfrttr the places have been filled by ot,her men, who ere entitled to the com pensation. The constitution forbids itihe appropriation of money tor chari table or benevolent purposes, except for pensions or gratuities for military purposes, to any person whatever. If there is any provision of tha organic law which authorizes the pensioning of the Judges or any oilier class of pub lic officers it should be pointed out. If the power exists even by implica tion it would be very unwise to exercise It. Such a precedent would not only open the door to extravagant expendi ture of the public funds but would b-a antagonistic to the principles upon whldh our clviil government Is based." Would it border on Irreverence to suggest that the eomntitutlon Is not by any means above amendment or revi sion? In the present instance eminent authority has approved the Rlteir bill as tnorougwy in Keeping wuii me ii n of the organic law. It certainly Is in keeping with liberal public sentiment, and wen with the sdlish business in stinct Whilich recognizes the merit of und "bargain" offering a sul'erlor nullity of justice In exchange for a L'Ug'ht ilm-rease In our expenditure for the Judiciary. If, however, a pension system for judges should turn out to be unconstitutional, we should haveaio liesiLtatancy in suggesting that the same end be attained by increasing the pay of judges to a point commensurate with tha lofty and Impartial service ex pected of them. The rumor that David Martin, owing to "111 health." Is to retire from the active management of the Philadelphia Republican canvass Is probably too good to be true, but it is what he will havo to do, if the party Is hereafter to keep head up and face front. - - - The President's message. The attitude of President Cleveland toward the present financial emer- gency.as outlined In his message to con- j gress re.prliited on another page, is one of commendable courage and frank ness. There was room for partisan dif ference over the various steps which have successively led up to this grave ! crlsls In our federal finances; but new that the crisis is upon us, there will be. among honest partisans, but one voice and one aim the voice and aim of un divided patriotism seeking by every legitimate means to extricate the gov ernment credit from the perils that en viron It. rou.. pi,, .ltiflnaa ih.? trntl- ilie p.ienmeiu v.r..j v.. . ble, which may be ciitcny aitriuuteu iu the law thait permits tlie noiuer oi treasury notes to demand their pay ment In gold without providing for their Immediate cancellation when lift ed. Thus the government mignt ie peatedly Issue bonds to recoup its gold reserve, yet the drain upon that reserve would continue so long as the treasury notes by which it is accomplished should be successively reissued und re turned for redemption. The perpetuity of these notes offers practically un- limited opportunity for private specula- , tlon to despoil the government of Its gold reserve without enabling it, in re turn, to cancel a single obligation; and th history of the past year shows how thoroughly this opportunity has been Improved. The solution suggested In the mes sage is general in its terms. It contem plate u popular long-term bond Issue, In denominations of $'.'0 and J50 and their multiples, bearing interest at the rate of 3 per cent. These bonds are to be paid for In legal tender and treasury notes, which are then to be cancelled. It Is tfugget'ted that the national banks be permitted to deposit these bonds as security for circulation up to their face i , .i. . ,li i i ,1 . tit t uai liny t'I!ipilif UOIII Ills or US value; and that this circulation shall be , Hul.vl(,, ,, l)r,.v,a D1. uttemt to ,.,..

Hut if such charged person, to be recovered by a civil relief be not soon forthcoming, an ad ditional Isisue of bonds under the pres ent law Is plainly threatened. It Is time to drop partisan contention In this Important matter and get down to patriotic business. Luckily, the trend of congress is plainly In this direction, and favorable response to the nies sj.gn Is to be expected without long de lay. The Philadelphia Times is Buffering from another spasm of hatred Tor John C, Delaney, no doubt also Inspired from Scranton. As to Game Protection. The editor of the Honesdale Herald. ex-JU'e Ham, does nut favor the propoF'ltton to prohibit the shooting or sale of grouse until l!)05. He asks, not without Home Justification: What are the older sportsmen to do dur ing these long ten years? They may hung their guns upon the familiar stag horns until they become rusted und spoiled, hut they will be of no use mull they are ten years older. Then when their eyesight hns grown dim und their limbs lire feeble, they mu'y shoulder their double-barrels and pursue, If they can, the grout flocks of pheasants that this bill Is Intended to create. Hut tho trouble of It all Is, thut by the passage of the bill, its object will not be accomplished. The game girds will iiave enemies tenfold more d-udl.v and nu merous than the shot gun. Tho foxis, hawlts, polecats, weasels, owls and Jack Front, destroy the bulk of the game, and we presume thut even a Pennsylvania law would have no effect upon them, unices Indeed, every violation of II could he madu a capital offense. We like to get out Into woods ourselves occasionally und have n little sport with these wily birds, which aro usually quite able to care for them selves against ordinary gunners, and we have no liking to huve either our gun or our self put upon the shelf for the re mainder of our days, llesides, singular as It may seem, these birds are most plenty where the hunters are most numer ous. It won't do to answer that the hun ters seek them where they most do con gregate. There aro vast forests all oxer the country, whose solitudes are seldom disturbed by the noiso ot firearms and yet pheasants In such places are as scarce as Mother Carey's chickens. The birds love the presence of mankind nnd lire willing to jun a little risk themselves In reward for tho greater security given th'em by the destruction of their much more fenred enemies already referred to. We would bs In favor of a law flint should prohibit pot-hunting or the sale of game of any kind, fish, fowl or beast, be cause no ono Is entitled to any unless he captures It himself or It Is given to him by the huntsman, and to enforce the close seasons already prescribed. We would even go further If possible, and prohibit the killing of game unless on tho wing or on the run. Genuine sportsmen all ob serve this natural nnd fair law flint gives the hunted some chance for their lives. Hut don't pass any such foolish bill as tho one proposed. If all hunters were as considerate ns our Honesdale friend Is, the problem of game protection, would not be a dif ficult one. He must remember, how ever, that he la an exception. Where, out of a pure love for sport, he shoots one winging grouse, ten of these rapid ly disappearing fowl are nowadays trapped by professional captors, who find ready market for their wares in the large cities. It Is not easy. In enforcing a close season, to differentiate between a reputable sportsman and a human shark. Almost the only way to solve this knotty problem, In the opinion of men who have studied it carefully for years, is to order all game-killing stopped for a time sufllclent to repair the havoc of the past. Tho appearance of Senator David B. Hill in the role of a political reformer Is one of the enjoyable novelties of this progressive season. In a speech before the New York Democratic club last Saturday night he said: If corruption unfortunately obtains a footing In party organization, let It lie up rooted. If leaders become corrupt, let them ho discarded, lletter no organiza tion at all than a corrupt one. I thor oughly despise that class of men who be come ucthe In political nffulrs not to con tribute something to the public good or to gratify an honorable and legitimate, ambition In the public service for which they possess the requisite liuiillllca'.loii-). but to secure personal gain and to pro mote self-uggrandlzement. Such allies discredit the party which they profess to serve, degrade tho public service; and re pel high-minded and honorable men from active participation In political effort. Let Ignorance, brutality, dissipation, specula tive sporting, avarice anil freebootlug be not regarded as desiruble qualities for Democratic membership any where--much less for prominence In Democratic coun cils. Let better and higher standards bo insisted upon. Senator Kdward Murphy, the Um pire state's speculative sporting junior s-.'tuitor, elected such by Ills virtuous colleague's aid. will read thrae words with interest a,:id perhaps a quiet grin. - - TheSeranton Record taken the proper view of the subject when it asks: "Out of the 20 per cent, of Pennsylvania's children who do not attend school It may safely bo taken for granted that ut least tiM that number are the chll- dren of parents who take no Interest in tin' upbringing of their little ones, and who spt ltd more money In u week 'rush iivir the growler' than the children could earn, while a large proportion ot the remaining 10 per cent, would be at fc'hool were It not for the sheer ted of their parents, who, having no education themselves, cure little for . their offspnlng. Is it might that these children, who are growing I up tn be American citizens should be 1 htandieapped for life because of any ptvventlble reason V" The Record i thinks not; and we fall to see how any reflective person can .think otherwise. Until the bank examiner shall have completed his inquiry into the condi tion of the closed Hank of Olyphant, and made public his report, the part of wisdom will be to keep cool and quiet. Nothing is ever gained, under such circumstances us now prevail in Oly- pliant, by violence or loud talking. If the bank is sound and solvent, It has the right to a fair hearing of Its side of the story. If not, It Is now too late to repair whatever mischief may have been dune. The opportunity now af forded for common sense to vigorously assert Itself is rarely equalled, ami should be promptly Improved. LEGISLATIVE TOPICS. To Prevent IlluvkliNtlng. The Curlcy bill to prevent the blacklist ing of employes, now pending In the 1111- i nols legislature, hus several novel point!-. it provides that If any person, ugent, company or corporation lifter having dlt,- action; but this section shull not be con strued as prohibiting any person, ugent, company or corporation from Informing In writing any other person, company or corporation to whom such discharged per son or employe has applied for employ ment u truthful statement of the reasons for such discharge. If uny railway com- puny or uny other compuny or partner ship or corporation In this stale shull au thorize or allow any of Its or their agents lo blacklist any discharged employe or attempt by word or writing or any other means whatever lo prevent such dis charged employe or any employe who may voluntarily have such company's service from obtaining employment from any other person or company, except us here inbefore provided, such company or cor poration shall be liable In double damuges to such employe so prevented from ob taining employment, lo be receovered by a civil action. It vhull be the duty of any person, agent, company or corporation uf ter having discharged any employe from his or tls service upon demand of such em ploye to furnish him In writing n full, succinct statement of the cause or causes of his discharge, und If such agent, com pany or corporation shall refuse to do so within a reasonable lime ufter such de- maud It shall ever after bu unlawful for I such person, ngent or corporation to fur nish any statement ot the cause of such i discharge to any person or corporation or j In any way to blacklist or prevent such discharged person from procuring em ployment elsewhere, subject to the ienul tles of this act. Provided, thut such writ ten cause of discharge when so made by such person, agent, company or corpora tion at the request of such discharged employe shall never be used ns the cause for an action for slander or libel, either civil or 'criminal, against the person, agent, company or corporation so fur nishing the same. The Uilllnmn Antl lloycolt Hill. Philadelphia Press: "It Is absurd to suppose the legislature can enact a law thut will compel any employer to keep n man when he doesn't want him. That would be an Invasion of private rights which could not be sustained. If It will not work In the public service, and It hus been shown that It will not, It certnlnly cannot bo mndu effective In Individual af fair. Such propositions as this can hard ly have any other effect thun to Itenslfy the feeling between employer anil em ploye. It hns a tendency fo create hos tility where none existed before. It Is lacking In good judgment, nnd Is us un reasonable us If the legislature should at tempt to enact that a man must work for a particular Individual, firm or cor poration whether ho wants to or not. That would be laughed ut by everybody. Hut It Is no more ridiculous than to pro pose that un employer shull keep a man unless he wants to. Tho laboring peoplu are constantly complaining beeuuse they do not get the protecting legislation they think they ought to have. We believe them is a very general disposition to favor them In every possible way, but the trouble Is they demand so much that Is absurd nnd Impracticable thut it brings even their worthier propositions Into more or loss discredit. They snerlllce popular sytnputhy und support when they ad vance mirh schemes us this, nnd every sensible laboring man ought to see that It Is not only unseless but positively hurtful to his own cuuse," m A Hard I net plainly Stulcd. Huzleton Sentinel: "The way to remedy the evils under which the men labor is not by demagoguery. Any legislation for any one class must hurl the balance of tho community. We have too much clsss legislation. Of course six-tenths of it Is far corporations. The balunce Is taffy and vote getting legislation to deceive the workmen." FAVOR SHERMAN'S PLAN. From the Philadelphia Press. President William Connell, of the Third National bunk, says: "ln my Judgment Senator Sherman's proposition to issue bonds of small denominations Is a good one. A free silver bill would be disas trous. I would suggest a tax on foreign silver so us to exclude the coin In the sume ratio as silver Is produced In this country. If wo could keep out tho Mex ican and foe I (Mi sliver there would bo a groat Improvement in our finances. JOventually we will huve to use both metals, but It ought to be on an Interna tional basis." Colonel H. M. Holes, president of the .Moosic Powder company, says: "The greut dllllculty Is that the receipts of the nation nro less thun the expenditures. I cannot see what can be done except to call un extra session of congress, repeal tne present tariff bill and pass one thut will provide sunicieut revenue. I do not heltcvu there would be subscriptions to u popular loan nnlhuuting to anything here while the government Is being discred ited." Hamuel lllnes, president of the Traders' National bunk, Buys: "1 think a popular loan, such a:: suggested by Senator Sher man, would be a success in the country. I am a Democrat, but 1 believe thut con ichs stiuuni attjoliin and the president call the new congress together." James A. Linen, president of the First National bank, huvs: "1 think the three per cent, popular loan suggested by Sena tor Sherman would be token liberally by the banks of Sciunton."
