And the end Is not yet.
The retrospect in another column
covering the lively times of 1871, when
the Youns Men's Christian association
crusade against Illegal liquor selling
forced the Liquor Dealers' league to
agree, In open court, to observe the
law, and, In the words of Judge Hund
ley, reduced the court costs while rais
ing the license revenues $30,000 a year
will be read with interest, after the
Interval of a quarter of a century. The
methods by which that campaign was
vron were heroic ones. They did nut
Btop at soda fountains nor deal in in
ferential evidence. They cut clear
through to the marrow of the central
iniquity; and forced a favorable result
ty not giving up short of one. It Is
Instructive to renew acquaintanca
with those times, even though the com
parisons suggested be not wholly com
plimentary to the present.
The Work of the Baldwins.
It is Immaterial, so far as scientific
Investigation Is concerned, whether the
so-called mind-reading entertainments
of the past week were bogus or genuine.
The principle upon which they are said
to rest Is today well established, and
would survive any exposure of the Im
mediate modus operandi employed by
the Baldwins, This principle which
may be roughly stated as the possibil
ity, under favorable conditions, of
transferring mental .Influences .from
mind to mind without materialistic In
tercommunication does not, to be sure,
Admit of demonstration In a geometric
sense. It cannot be established by the
same absolute rules which convince the
mathematician that two added to two
makes four. Yet It is admitted by
most candid students of psychology
and may be demonstrated experiment
ally by any one who yet doubts It.
For example, if a person will, upon
entering a railway car, attentively con
centrate his gaze upon another person
seated several feet in front of him,
only a few minutes will usually Inter
vene before the object of this scrutiny,
If semi-somnolent by reason of the
drowsy Influences of traveling, will be
come restless and uneasy, will writhe
in his seat and will Anally turn square
ly around and return the gaze. The
same experiment will succeed, nine
times out of ten, when the person ex
perimented upon Is asleep. The parlor
game called "memerism," In which one
person is blindfolded, led by two asso
ciates Jnto a room where one of these
associates or a confederate has con
cealed some object upon which the com
panions of the blindfolded one concen
trate their thoughts, and unconsciously
walks directly to that object, afterward
picking It up, Involves the same' gen
eral principle In modified form. ' These
experiments do not always succeed, and
therefore the principle cannot he said
to have reached the standing of a fixed
science; yet the preponderance of evi
dence Is heavily in Its favor, and the
intelligent. Inquirer who enters upon an
Investigation of this ohadowy realm of
advanced knowledge without prejudice
or bias must soon decide to give cred
ence to at least the possibility of such
phenomena, entirely apart from any
commercial hocus pocus or humbug,
ii, 'inen, it ue possible to convey
thought, silently, without materialistic
Intercommunication, from one mind to
another, why should it be deemed lnr
probable that In some human organ
isms this mental or psychical sensitive
ness is more pronounced than in oth
ers? It Is tolerably well authenticated,
although by no means generally con
ceded, that the late Washington Irving
Bishop performed many remarkable
feats of mind reading and telepathy
while in hypnotic state such as driv
ing blindfolded for several blocks
through the busiest of Chicago's busy
utreets, to a place where a small object
find been hidden without the possibll-
dty of his knowing anything about It.
Another performance is recorded in Bt,
(Petersburg in which a Blight young
lady, whose name Just now escapes
our memory, with fher finger tip pressed
to his chair, lifted the strapping Czar
Alexander II, and carried him about
the room; and afterward, with equal
ease, hurled him agalnstthe wall qf the
palace although he said to have been
the strongest man In his empire with
Iboth his giant , arms outstretched,
braced himself against her,
The achievements of the Baldwins In
our city may have ben wholly decep
tive, wholly genuine Yr a mixture of
both. We do not pretend to know
which supposition is the true one. But
In any event they have been, upon the
whole, beneficial lnaemucnaa they have
directed public- attention to a vltta of
exploration In which, notwithstanding
much prevalent quackery- and charlat
anry, there Is very evidently some de
gree of truth not yet revealed in Its
full measure. Many of the ablest men
of our day are at work upon this ex
ploration. Their theories are numer
ous and fantastic. But however much
they may differ in conclusions, there
can be no denying the desirability of a
thorough sifting of ascertainable facts.
For It Is clear to us that in this direc
tion of Inquiry the future holds much
knowledge in its keeping subject to re
lease only after patient and toilsome
pursuit.
Recently this journal took occasion
to pay What et the time it believed to
be a just compliment to the Harrfsburs
correspondence of the Scrantoti Truth.
We now find it'he writer of that corres
pondence charged by Representative
Furr with making "uncalled for 'mis
representations." Mr. Farr specifies
the assertions In that correspondence
touching an alleged clash between him
self and Representative Cunnell on the
reapportionment question. These Mr.
Farr declares to be untrue and mis
leading, since he ha3 proposed no plan
of reapportionment Whatever, and
hence had nothing about which to
clash. We should regret to believe thut
the Truth's opposition to compulsory
education had Influenced its ll-tnls-
burg representative to "write down"
the member from the First district.
The New Woman At Large.
A good many eccentricities have to
be excused in the New Woman; but it
is doubted If the ordinarily complacent
and Indulgent New Woman's Brother
will sit quiet under the latest one of
these, which consists of going about,
man fashion, from saloon to saloon, in
search of the novelty or the fascination
which the New Woman assumes must
be possessed by such rendezvous of the
convivial male homo. If we mistake
not the temper of the said woman's
fraternal relative and guardian, he will
stand a good deal of foolishness, but
he will not stand that.
But," you ask us, "is It true? Does
the New Woman frequent saloons?"
Aye, that she does, alas; and we have
her own word for it. The esteemed
Syracuse Post of last Saturday com
prised thirty-six readable pages, the
whole of them written, edited and
proof-read by the New Woman and
her friends. And on the second of
these pages we see, In black head let
ter, these tell-tale words; "In the Sa
loon Dives." "What a Post Woman
Saw on a Tour Among Them." Our
horrified attention thus abruptly
transfixed, we proceed to digest the
unblushing details. It is admitted, as
a first concession, that "the better class
of saloons are inviting. They have a
wealth of decorations, the service is
quiet and skillful generally, courtesy
to one another is observed and the
lunch counters are resplendent with
fragile ware and attractive with savory
viands." But from this kind of place
the New Woman speedily descended un
til she found
saloons where cleanliness spemed un
known, where the crews before the liaiM
were restless, moving crushes of beast
lality, where the conversation was less re
strained, the lloors were filthy, the clothes
of the men less cleanly, the hats of the
worn ami battered description, and the
smells diabolical, arising from old clothe?,
frankfurts, sauerkraut, stale beer, whisky,
gin, tobacco and vile breaths coming from
foul mouths rendered more foul by their
unclean words.
Yet even this was not the ne plus
ultra of the New AVoman's hardihood.
For, going still lower, she came to
the Baloons where the most dissolute wo
men hover about. These saloons are
where the windows are covered by shadt-s
or curtains drawn so closely over the wal
lows that only for the streaks of light
from the sides or through I he crevices In
the dilapidated screen It would be sup
posed that they were unoccupied. It Is
In these saloons of narrow width and re
stricted room the most violent of the
smells and the greatest license Is found.
The language grows coarser, the crowils
are more like wiggling, twisting, squirm
ing masses of earth worms than anything,
moving to and fro, gesticulating. sIiikIiiv,
or rather bellowing, and past much sen
sible movement of any sort, for they were
unqualifiedly drunken.
From an artistic standpoint the ven
turesome daughter of Eve who Is our
pilot In this novel Journey through the
slums concludes that saloons, upon the
whole, are unqualified failures. In her
pilgrimage she tells us there were
three places where nutfe figures were dis
played. They were all life size and while
In the gallery of the millionaire, the .Met
ropolitan JIusem or In the art publication,
they (or rather the originals) would he
looked upon as conducive to cultivation of
the nrtlstlc sense, In the reproduction
they have lost their Ideality and while
Godlva In the former place Is of marvelous
beauty, she takes on' the air of the lo
cality where found, and In a saloon ono
only thinks of her as stealing away for
any other purpose than to alleviate the
wrongs of an oppressed people. Ko too.
the nymphs of the woodrt move In harm i
nlous grace In the original, but mu'lly
caper with unseemly motion when dis
played on the walls of a saloon. What
muy be the reason for placing these fig
ures on the walls or In the corners of the
saloons It Is hard to comprehend. The
hnbltues of these places nre not generally
of artistic proclivities, so they do not need
them for studies. They do not seem nec
essary In any other respect and the only
reason Imagined Is that they lead men to
drink In order to forget them.
The New Woman tell3 us much more.
She tells us, for example, that In one
place she saw "a forlorn, watery eyed,
purple faced, trembling wreck of a
man once doing a prosperous business.
In another a strong, fine looking man
was displaying a roll of bills and spend
ing money freely, whose wife Is a deli
cate, educated woman with two babes
and takes In washing in order to live."
But despite these spectacles, so cleverly
described, not a word does she Bay
about prohibition or moral suasion or
white ribbon crusades. In' this detail
she establishes her claim to be called
the New AVoman.
But What will her brother Bay? Or,
indeed, what can he say?
AA'iitlng In the current number of the
North American Review upon "The
Financial Muddle," Secretary of Agri
culture J. Sterling Morton takes occa
sion to remark that "the harmonies
of civilization, the multifold tones of
trade, all the great choruses and melo
dies of commerce tho murmuring
stream that runs tho mill wheel, the
hissing engine on the rail, the plash
of the puddle wheel, on Inland lakes, the
monotonous pulsations of great hearts
of steamships on all tho oceans of the
globe, the singing wires of telegraph
lines hanging In- the air, the whir of
the electric cars every movement of p
sentient commerce, transporting from
north to south, from south to north,
from east to west and from west , to
east, with nil its . myriad sounds of
contented Industry, are merely the
economic orchestra of civilization obey
ing tho motions of the magic baton of
Demand wielded by the will power of
tho civilized world. These are the mar
velous melodies of modern commerce.
But tho inspiration which gives voice
to value, and energizes the many
tongued industries of modern life, ad
vancements and improvements, is ex
changeability based upon demand,
which la founded upon desire." We
have no doubt that the public will once
more breathe easily now that this fact
Is ofllclally decided.
Boston has just dedicated a new
$5,000,000 public library; and by a sug
gestive coincidence the first person to
enter the new structure was one whom
the press dispatches describe as a
"broad-shouldered worklngman." Yet
tills was as It should be,. since It is the
workinginan who Is most benefited by
public libraries. Persons of wealth can
purchase libraries of their own, but
not even the wildest dream of socialism
contemplate. an estate for the Indus
trial toller sufficiently fortunate to ena
able him to have access, In his own
home, to a collection of 2,000,000 books
like that soon to be accessible to him
in the Hub. The public library is
one of the chief est ameliorating forces
of our present civilization, and that
city Is fortunate indeed which has such
a force in active and successful opera
tion In its midst.
To the extent of a column In the Har
rlsburg Patriot a Scranton "Democrat"
who doss not chose to come out from
cover larrups AVilllnm F. llarrlty and
ex-Overnor Paulson for their alleged
joint betrayal of the Democracy of
Pennsylvania. This anonymous writer's
principal grievance against Mr. Harrlty
Is that the latter rose from the estate
of a Philadelphia ward politician to the
na tional chairmanship of his party. At
least, this seems to be the main thing
charged against him. A'e do not ad
mire Harrlty and have no conceivable
Interest in him, one way or another.
But it occurs to us that this Scranton
assailant of Harrlty ought in common
justice to come 6ut of ambush amd do
his fighting In the open, like a man.
"It Is encouraging to know that the
feeling is growing that Christian fidel
ity means patriotism Just as much
as It doL'.s piety; means being a good
citizen juut as much as it does being
a good church member; and that
X.arer, My God, to Thee," and 'Star
Spangled Banner,' are both Christian
hymns In the mouth of an all-round
Christian." Dr. Parkhurst.
Rev. Dr. Carlos Martvn. a Chicago
clergyman, is In illsfavor because he
said that there were 40,00 disreputable
women In that city or one In five of
the female population between 18 and
years of age. Dr. Murtyn should
remember that figures can readily be
made to prevaricate, If one be not
very careful in their use.

Upon the whole, the bunks of Penn
sylvania, both state and national, have

and prudence?
LEGISLATIVE TOPICS.
The Harvey School Hill.
Wllkes-llarre Record: "jno of the most
Important measure. now before the slate
legislature Is that relating to the prompt
payment of the school appropriation, it
was prepared by S. J. Strauss, of this
city, and has been Introduced wlniultun-
oously In the senate and house by Senator
Kline and Representative Harvey. The
bill provides that whenever any school
district shall have held Its schools open
for the in minium school term In uny
year, the president und secretary of the
board Khali file a statement with tho
superintendent of public Instruction In
such form us he may prescribe, showing
tho time during which tho schools have
been actually kept open that year; and
thereupon the supei Intcndi-nt of public
Instruction shall certify the statement
to tho state trt-UMircr, and he shall causa
to be transmitted to the said district with
in sixty days, three-fourths of the state
appropriation to which that district is
entitled for the year, and the rcniulnini;
fourth shall In- transmitted after the end
of the school year und ufter the animal
report has been nunle to tho department
as heretofore. The necessity of such n
bill Is plain to all who have had experi
ence In the man:iKnent of our public
schools. I'nder the present system, the
state appropriation Is not uvullame until
three or four months iift-'r the school
year has ended. The money lies Idle In
tho treasury or Is distributed nmnnir the
various banks iwed as slate depositories,
hut the districts rnnnot secure II no mut
ter how much It may be needed to pay
necessary expenses. This has proven a
hardship to the poorer districts In the
state, while even those that Include tho
larger cities llnd It necessary In many In
stances to borrow money and puy Inter
est for Its use, while waiting for the ap
propriation. This Is clearly unjust to the
districts. There Is ho good reason why
at least three-fourths of this money
should not be paid at the close of the mini
mum school term. It would not only be
doing nn act of justice to tho districts,
hut would relieve many of them from the
necessity of borrowing money to tide tlum
over the school year."
Tho Proposed Charities HIM.
Pittsburg Commercliil-tiazette: "A bill
bus been Introduced In tho house at Ilar
risburg abolishing tho state bourd of
public charities and establishing In Its
stead a department of charities. The pro
loscd bill will make radical changes In the
management of these several Institutions,
it places at the head of the department
a superintendent, who Is to be appointed
by the governor and serve for three years,
with uuthorlly to appoint throe linipee
tors, live clerks and three deputies. Tho
superintendent will have conferred upon
him nil the powers now vested In tho
board of public charities, with full power
to visit and inspect the books of all insti
tutions receiving state nld.- The purpose
of the bill In to secure better service
through concentration of power, throwing
upon ono person the responsibility now
resting upon ten, and giving him a suf
ficient number of assistants to have the
work of the department more thoroughly
performed. Tho success of he change
will largely depend upon the character
and Illness of tho superintendent and the
manner In which the various duties shall
lie defined. Home change In the law seems
desirable, but it Is possible to create an
expensive department without any cor
responding benefit to the public at largo."
To Pravcnt Overcrowding of Cars.
Below Is tho text of the Kearns bill to
regulate the rale of fare to be charged
on Mti-eet pusHcnger railways for passen
gers who are not tendered or provided
with sealB: "Whereas, lly reason of In
adequate and Insufllelent car service on
a great number of street passenger rail
ways within this commonwealth largo
numbers of pusscngers are unprovided
with and unuble to secure seats, and are
necessarily obliged lo remain standing, re
sulting In discrimination between the pas
sennets and causing great Incunvenlenco
and discomfort.
"Section 1 Bo it enacted that from and
after the first day of October, A. D. 1895,
It shall be unlawful for any street railway
company in this commonwealth. Its agents
or employes, to charge, collect or receive
from any passenger in any street railway
car, who Is not tendered or provided with
a seat In its cars, the regular fare charged
on any such car; and any passenger so
obliged to stand as aforesaid shall be en
titled to a reduction from the. regular
fare of at least 1 cent.
"8ec. 2 The violation of any of the pro
visions of this act shall be deemed a mis
demeanor, and any person, corporation or
employe convicted thereof shall be pun
ishable by a line of not less than $5 and
not exceeding (50.
Ono Valuable New Hill.
Carbondule Herald: "Senator Woods
has Introduced a bill to prevent electric,
cable or horse car lines from crossing
steam roads at grade, or where the street
railways exist, to prevent a steam road
crossing from being constructed ut grade.
It Is probably too early to congratulate
the people of the state upon this measure,
as It may die a lingering death of strangu
lation In the committee. If It Is passed
In such a way us not only to prevent the
building of grade crossings In the future,
but also to provide for the elimination of
those that already exist, the peop)e will
have ut least ono cause to remember the
present legislature kindly. The bill will
be a still greater blessing if It will in
clude In Its provisions public highways as
well as cur lines. Then indeed will It bo
a useful measure."
Too Much l.nu -.Making.
Curbondule Herald:. "The American
people are too much "governed. Our law
makers get together for only one session
In two years, but when they do meet, they
mako up for lost time. From the llrst to
tho lust It Is a wild rush of bills. One
thousand bills were read In pluce during
the llrst six weeks of the present session.
The gentlemen at lliirrlshurg seem to Im
agine that the people of this common
wealth are crying for legislation; thut we
are suffering for tho passage of more bill;'.
The state would be better off If the gen
eral assembly met only once In ten years;
or better oft still If they would go into con
tinuous session for the repealing of luws."
Mr. Fritz's l ittle Dill.
Mr. Fritz, of Columbia county, has pre
sented a bill to authorize the assessment
und collection of tuxes for local purposes
on real estate, of railroads, canal, tele
graph, telephone and pipe line companies.

of the auilltor general, stute treasurer
and secretary of Internul affairs, who
