And the end Is not yot,
Tire new county craze has broken
out ilWIs winter with the startling dls
itlnpttvees of a week's growth of whis
kers on the face of a. masculine bru
nette. The .new county craze, however,
is not dainfeivut and no doubt serves
a good purpose In keeping restless
spirits out of mischief.
Lackawanna Reapportionment.
Two propositions relative to the leg
islative reapportionment of Laekawa
wanna. county .have been submitted to
the Harrlsburg; committee having this
matter In charge. One is embodied In
the old bill re-Introduced by the chair
man of the reapportionment committee.
It solidities the First district, creates a
new Second district with 600 Republican
plurality and throws nearly 1.S00 Demo
cratic plurality into a new Third dis
trict. Thus, out of Ave districts two,
In ordinary years, would be as solidly
Democratic as the other three would be
Republican.
The second suggestion, that of Rep
resentative Connell, provides that the
city districts shall made up as follows:
First district Fourth, Fifth, Sixth,
Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Eighteenth and
Twenty-llrst wards. Second district
Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh,
Twelfth, Sixteenth, Seventeenth, Nl'ne
iteenth and Twentieth wards. Third
district First, Second, Third, Seventh
and Thirteenth wards. The vote cast
In these districts in 1893 for state treas
urer is as follows: First district, Re
ptrbHcan, 2,443; Democratic, 1,738: Re
publican plurality, 703. Second district,
Republican, 2,383; Democratic, 2,551;
iDemocratlc plurality, 168. Third dis
trict, Republican, 1,496; Democratic,
S.564; Democratic plurality, 68. This
plan would give the Republicans a good
fighting chance to capture every dis
trict In the county including the
Fourth, which .Is now probably safely
Republican for some time to come.
It would seem as if the members of
the committee who live in unaffected
districts ought to be willing to let those
members who are directly affeoted
have Borne voice in this discussion.
The prompt ending yesterday of the
Fifteenth district congressional confer
ence at Tunkhannock by the, nomina
tion of E. J. Jordan, of Wyoming, and
James H. Codding, of Bradford, for the
short and long .terms respectively will
naturally disappoint the friends of C.
3'red Wright, of Susquehanna, who had
Jioped to see ihlm. entrusted with the
performance of his deceased brother's
uncompleted work. The selections made
by the conference, however, are per
sonally acceptable, and they ' have the
political advantage of representing the
most disaffected portions of the dis
trict. Now that harmony has been re
stored after many days, Republicans
of the Fifteenth district will be ex
pected to continue in good humor and
to elect Messrs. Jordan and Codding by
enthushietla majorities.
We suspect that in David Martin's
Case the public Is rapidly nearing the
beginning of the end.
A Good Scheme to Let Alone.
The efforts of the United Mine Work
rrs, which is an organization composed
at the present time almost exclusively
of men engaged in the bituminous coal
mining business, Ito gain a foothold In
iThe anthracite regions are meeting with
scant success, for which fact there is an
obvious Jid a, sufficient reason. The
bituminous miners, recollecting how
their past citrikes have failed largely,
as they Imagine, through their inability
to control the competition encountered
from the anthracite .trade, seek now to
use the anthracite miners and mine
laborers as cat's-paws. They reason
Ithat If they can once get these eastern
diggers of hard coal Into their grasp,
general strikes may bo ordered with
pom para-try impunity, and the consum
ing publlo will have only one alterna
tive except ito force the- bituminous
operators to concede all points in dls
pule. That would be to freeze.
If their plans should succeed,' the am.
Ithraclte element, being in a minority,
oould, in any question as to the advlsa.
tll lit y ot a general strike, be outvoted
two to one, a fid thus be literally dragged
Into disturbances In which they lave
no interests to guard and tio grievances
to right. A more preposterous and ah
normal arrangement of affairs would
be almost impossible to conjecture,
Wlth the two 'branches of the coal trade
In spirited and Increasing rivalry, such
a union of labor Interests would simply
mean that the bituminous people would
accomplish by strategy what they have
been unable to achieve in open commer
cial warfare; .that is to say,- the con
quest of the anthracite business.
Emissaries of the United Mine Work
ers are now busy in these parts. Not
withstanding the chilliness of (their
early reception, they are bent upon
catching the workers of this region in
the snare. Forewarned, however, is
forearmed. The sensible miner of an
thracite will think twice before he de
cides to play into the hands of the opposition.
If the offlclalsof steamship companies
which are too poor to equip their pas
senger steamers with an adequate num
ber of life boats could be made to tajce
a dose of their own medicine, this form
of murder would soon decrease.
The Inevitable Has Come.
One of the first questions that natur
ally arises in connection with the re
cent exehanire of compliments between
Senator Lexow and Dr. Purkhurst Is
why the former, occupying as he does
a public oltlee In which he Is peculiarly
the representative of the people, should
regard as "impertinent" and "Insult
ing" an expression by the people, or
by a conslderablo number of them,
concerning a subject of vital public In
terest and Importance. It would be In
teresting to know upon what ground
Senator I.eXow can defend his assump
tion of superiority to the wishes of his
constituents or set up, us he virtually
does, as u being quite above the level
of the paid servant hired to perform Ills
master's work. We admit that this
kind of assumption is getting to be
very common these duys; but we ven
ture to believe that it is none the less
wrong. A publlo oillclal accepts ollice
upon tho distinct understanding that
he shall be held accountable to the pub
lic for his actions. When he arrives .it
a point of cranial enlargement where
such accountability becomes Irksome,
he should reduce the swelling or sur
render his position and rotire to private
life.
Let us remember, in the present case,
the difference between the two men
who have just publicly "fallen out."
One Is a politician, in politics for what
there is In it In way of glory and self
advuncement and spoils. Three years
ago he was, so to speak, an unknown
man. Outside of Albany and his home
district few persons had ever heard of
Clarence Lexow. The circumstance by
which he wus pitchforked into public
prominence was not of his own crea
tion, nor was lt of his extraordinary
deserving. It came to him In the course
of political vicissitude. Party interests
suggested the advisability, about that
time, of following up the Fassett in
quiry of two years prior with a second
probing into Tamnianyism; and it was
begun, we may readily believe, with
no purpose higher than vote-capturing
and with no laws of action superior
to political exigency and expediency.
Of this commute Oii rence Lexoi.' hap
pened to be chosen chairman. We s;iy
"happened," but the word is used with
due recognition of the frequency with
which, in Albany appointments, so
called chance is but another name for
the potent wishes of Thomas C. Piatt.
As chairman, Mr. Lexow acquitted him
self neither wonderfully well nor amaz
ingly badly. He presided with regular
ity, had little to say and through, all
the stench and slime of Gotham's re
vealed rottenness, preserved his health,
his appetite and his capacity to draw
his pay. This is about all that need
be said concerning Senator Clarence
Lexow, unless we add that since last
Nov. 6 his mission, as he views it, has
been logically at an end. On that date
he ceased to be the reformer and be
came once more the politician, out for
spoils.
The comparison of such a man with
Charles H. Parkhurat is not a compari
son, but a contrast. We do not know
whether It will be expected of us to
again portray Dr. Parkhurst as he ap
pears to those who are in full sympathy
with his herculean work and who have
taken pains to study him not in envy
nor in malice but fairly, justly and in
the clear light of all available evi
dence. It seems ito us that these things
are already fully understood. Nor do
we wish, because we admire this man
on account of his energy, his fearless
ness of purpose and Olympian direct
ness of attack, to Imply that he may
not, through sheer excess of zeal, be at
times impatient and overcritlcal. It
would be singular, indeed, if in the face
of' the almost infinite responsibilities
and tasks and discouragements that
encircle him, he should invariably be
smiling like the sucking babe and
placid as the noon-day lull. The point
with him upon which politicians like
Piatt and Lexow, from the nature of
things, never agree is that reform must
not consist of turning one set of rascals
out merely to accommodate another set
of opposite partisan belief. 1 lie wants
the good work to go on, not simply until
election day for indeed that is, In his
view of the matter, simply the begin
ning of the work but until every ves
tige and trace of the old municipal rot
tenness shall be cleansed and fumi
gated, and the city accorded a clean bill
of health. Hence the clash; a clash in
evitable from the very circumstances of
the case; but a clash in which honest
moral sentiment, with no personal axe
to grind, will be uncompromisingly with
Charles II. Parkhurst every day In the
week, including Sundays. ,
in the matter of making a settle
ment with China, the Japanese govern
ment appears as Independent as a lady
operator In a telephone exchange.
The Church and the Poor.
Ought church-goers to wear good
clothes? Is it conducive to Christiani
ty to "dress' up'" oni Sunday? These
questions look simple enough, but there
appears to be a negative side to them
founded on serious argument. The
February Chautauqun, dlscoursjng edi
torially upon tho relation, of the modern
church to the poor, bravely utters this
sentiment: "Tho thoroughly bad habit
of wearing the ibeat clothes to church,
the expectation of a. certain, smartness
kind fashlonableness in. the dress of a
congregation, draws a line against peo
plu'Who are shabby and have not grace
enough to forget It and forgive their
brethren for being better dressed. It
Is true that there in a. kind ot piety
In deaa and fresh clothing; and many
would blush to appear In the Lord's
house clothed in oilioe or kitchen gar
ments. This brand of piety has some
claims to respect ; in many hearts It
Is associated very closely with th pro
prieties of sincere worship. But It
does tend to exclude the man with the
shabby coat and his wife, with her last
year's bonnet, if wa went to church in
everyday attire, wo ehould look less
like ai smart social club and some of tho
poor would worship with us in a more
comfortable frame of mind."
The tenor of the Chautauqua's con
tention is .that 'tho modern church
and, as we take it, more especially the
Protestant church has not yet caught
the full meaning of Christianity's duty
toward the abounding poor in our pop
ulous cities. The feeding to these peo
ple of the spiritual graces of religion
when their physical stomachs are suf
fering from . chronic absence of meat
and potatoes Is a kind of zeal which
is mistakenly applied. Even Jesus, it
will be remembered, ilrst fed the mul
titude before He preached to it; and no
doubt hud He sojourned in Pennsyl
vania rather than in Palestine, He
would have clothed Jt as well. This
much miay be said without irreverence,
since it is only u. logical extension of
the Instructive parable of the loaves
and llshes. The editor of the Chautuu
quuu might easily have addod to his
argument the historical fact that fine
apparel nowhere appears in any of the
Scriptures as a requisite feature of
Christian evangelization. Not that
this Js, in .itself, an argument against
cleanliness or neatness of clothes, but
simply that in the serious earnestness
of primitive Christianity the niceties
of our fastidious modern time found
little counterpart, and did not, there
fore, to any perceptible extent retard
the spread of Christ's Gospel among
tho meek and lowly.
In one or two of our large cities,
mjt;cbly n New York, it has come to
be the fashion for wealthy congrega
tions which themselves worship amid
luxurious surroundings In veritable
earthly tenmples to establish, in the
poorer districts, modest missions, In
which plain pews and a. plain service
beckon to a plain and poor attendance.
One cannot criticize the sincerity of
good intention which prompts this
thoughtfulness for the "other half;"
yet it requires to be added that this
division of the Christian church Into
dlstinilt classes, when dictated by other
reasons tha'n necessity, is scarcely in
unison with the divine democracy of
that church's Founder. How, then,
shall 'the 'problem, be solved? It is
perhaps not for the secular press to
answer such a question; yet we fancy
the true solution may be reached, In
time, without the .necessity of dividing
the churches into sections, the one kind
for the fastidiously aflluent, und the
other for the penniless unfortunate.
One of the men recently admitted to
citizenship in a. county not a thousand
miles from here confessed, while under
examination, that he did not know who
the president of the United States was,
and did not care. We should think
that our glorious republic would feel
proud of such a eon.
It is none of our funeral; but we can
not help remarking that it is a rare
kind of Wilkes-Harre philanthropy
which seeks to defeat the Quay county
movement because it would cost Hassle
tonlans too. much.
The Anthracite county movement
has reached Harrlsburg; and will doubt
less give the newspaper correspondents
something to write about for a period
of perhaps eleven days.
LEGISLATIVE TOPICS.
Captain Dclaney's Little Bill.
Harrlsburg correspondence of the Car-
bondalo Anthracite: "John C. Deluney'i
bill has successfully withstood the batter.

and Intrepid warrior, General Gobin. Dp-

of horse blankets, used to call this job,

and to whom I can go at any time for a

todianship und will pocket the HOW) mil

The New Charities Measure.
A bill to establish a department of char
Hies and correction has been Introduced
In tho house by Representative Marshall,
It provides that the chief officer shall be
known us etipenlntendent and be ap
pointed by the governor for a term of
three pears. The superintendent Is em
powered to employ three Inspectors and
live clerks, and also three deputies, to be
be known as inspectors of charities, cor
rectlons and lunucy. It is the duty of thi
superintendent to see that the laws re
speetiing charities, corrections and lunacy
are enforced. For this purpose he Is In
vented with all the powers now con
ferred upon the board of public charities,
The superintendent Is given full power
to visit and Inspect the books of all In
stltutlons receiving Mate aid, and to In
quire Into the grounds of any request for
state aid by any Institution. Whenever
he shall be satisfied that any Insane pa
tient In any county or dlstlrct almshouse
cannot there receive proper treatment he
shall make application to the president
judge of the proper county to have the
putlert trnnsrerrue ta state hospital,

A bill Introduced by Mr. Snlvely appro

latlon of each county or such road as the
secretary of Internal affairs with tils'

who shall servo five years without com

Think Its Friends Hurt It.
Carbomlale Anthracite: "Representa
tive Korr's compulsory education measure
does not seem to be making that haste
which was expected from the groat clamor
made nbout It at the beginning ot the
legislation .session. Compulsory edura.
tlon Is likely to suffer because of the
friends it hua made. When any pjece of
legislation Is backed up by particular so
cltties, opposition Is likely to take a
course that will annov and oerhaDS cheek
the measure."
AS TO ANTHRACITE COUNTY.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Our. esteemed contemporary, the Car
bomlale Dally Anthracite, is as busily en
gaged as anybody could expect to be In
these rather dull times manufacturing a
brand new county. It Is a very popular
sort of enterprise with a considerable
number of the newspapers in different
parts of the state, and there Is no reason
on earth why our sprightly Carbondale
contemporary should not have a share in
It. There Isn't muA elso worth bother
ing about Just now.
This new county nroiect contemplates
taking a strip from Lackawanna county,
a considerable chunk of Wayne and quite
a large bite out of Susquehanna in ordor
to make up the necessary 400 square miles
of territory and satisfy our contempo
rary's craving for a new county, which Is
to bo called Anthracite county In honor
of the newspaper which has invented the
scheme. There Is no news from Wayne
and Susquehanna that the people In those
counties are sitting uu nlirhts and tear
ing around In the day time to advance
this new county movement, hut It Is pos
sible they will catch on In the course of a
few hundred years und accommodate
themselves lo the vociferous demands
thut Carbondale shall be made the county
seat of something or other.
Nobody will blame Carbondale which
Is a tine town with most of tho modern
Improvements excepting a court house
for wuntlug the great distinction ot be
ing a county town. It could not b ex
pected to stand unconcernedly by and see
Jlazloton, so near Its own size, moving
gaily and uninterruptedly forward to be
come the duxzllng center of the new Wuuy
county. And yet Carbondale is not ex
travagantly excited over the alluring
prospect. Whether It Is of a less exuber
ant nature than llnsleton or Is merely
laying a deeper game we cannot pretend
to say. but It Is certain that Carbondale
has not yet been aroused to that degree of
Intensity which hourly convulses llasle
ton, and which impels every public-spir
ited HuSlotunian to keep his ear near the
end of a telegraph wire to intercept the
first news from Harrlsburg. Nor does
the country round ubout show that eager
nppetlte for a new county which Jim
Sweeney lias so successfully stirred up in
the vicinity of Hazloton.
These things may come In time, how
ever, .though We fear that Carbondale it
laboring under some disadvantages. The
chief among these is the proposed name
for the new county. Nobody could be ex
pected to get much excited over Anthra
cite county. There was no particular In
terest in llazleton's project us long as the
Intention wus to call It Hazlc county, but
now that It Is to be Quay county every
body Is enthusiastic und all join in de
manding it. That was a loong-neaueu
proposition end there is no longer any
doubt that Quuy county will go through;
Hazleton will have a nice new court house
and a full outfit of county officers all to
Itself.
Our contemporary, which Is fighting this
new county battle u.11 alone, should rellect
upon this vital point, lirother Moonoy
could get some very valuuble tips from
lirother Jim Sweeney about how new
counties are made, und In the present
condition of the Anthracite county move
ment tho quicker he gets such tips tho
better.
Mr. Powdcrly in Philadelphia.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Robert Wuitchorn. the retiring chief fac
tory Inspector, gave a dinner lust night at
tho Hotel Vendlg to his successor, James
Camnbell. of Pittsburg, and a few friends,
During the progress of the dinner, T. V.
l'owderly. the former chief of the Knights
of Labor, registered at the hotel, and as
soon as his presence was known he was
prevailed upon to Join the party. lr
l'owderly is on 'his way home to Scran ton
from Washington, and as soon as he gets
there he will commence to practice at the
Lackawanna bar. The former labor chief
was recently admitted to practice, and In
view of his long residence in Scranton,
and the high place ho holds In the com
munity, it is probable that he will find the
law more profitable' than the role of a
labor leader.
Will Prove a popular Member
Special to the Anthracite.
Senator James Vaughan, I am Inclined to
think, will prove a jwpular member of the
upper house of parliament. He Is up
proachable, courteous, obliging and has
got a great deal more sense than an
ibex.
