The house- committee on vice and im
morality at HaiTiBbuTK has reported
favorably cunwrnliiK the bill of Rep
resentative Harvey making it unlawful
to dock a horse's tail. This humane
measure will undoubtedly now be
passed without delay, and Governor
Hustings, when It shall have been
signed by 1:1m, should present the sig
natory pen as a souvenir to the Scran
ton Republican.
South Dakota's Disgrace.
A fulling off, in the decade between
and 1S0O, of nearly 7 per cent, in
the number of children In each Ameri
can family is one of the significant
facts revealed by the last national cen
sus. Simultaneously with the an
nouncement of thlsnoteworthydeorease
comes the equally suysestive intelli
Kence that the legislature of South
Dakota, in "response 'to many peti
tions" containing, among their names,
the "signatures of prominent church
leaders," has repealed the law requiring
six months' residence in that state be
fore an action for divorce can be
brought, and that It has restored the
old law which required only three
months' residence.
We do not know what degree of truth
there Is in 'tin; foregoing reference to
"promln-nt church leaders;" but If such
leaders have done what they un
charged with having done, the least we
can say concerning them is that they
have been engaged In a thoroughly con
temptible transaction. The only argu
ment of any consequence adduced in
behalf of the change Is that a yet fur
ther lowering, In South Dakota, of the
ridiculously low burs ugainst divorce
will attract to that state a greater num
ber of temporary residents, most of
them with money to spend. Tho legis
lature, in deferring to this mean view of
the subject, has put. itself squarely on a
footing with those men, heartily de
spised In every community, who servo
as middlemen In the tratllc In female
dishonor. Indeed, as between the two,
we ure not sure that the lutter, who
openly acknowledge their utter want of
manly principle, are not, on ethical
grounds, to be preferred to presumably
Intelligent legislators who, for a mone
tary consideration, deliberately legalize
the wanton severance of family ties and
render easy the evasion of family re
sponsibilities. '
. Hut every cloud has its silver lining;
and we anticipate that one of Die im
mediate consequences of this South
Dakota action will be to impart new
and pronounced impetus to the lately
quiescent movement In this country for
Uniform legislation relating to marriage
and divorce. It the evils of the lax
Fystem prevalent in South Dakota were
conllned within the boundaries of that
Male, we could almost afford to let the
"prominent church leaders" und other
South Dakota promoters of social Im
morality revel in the proilt of their
nefarious trade. Unhappily, the very
condition of that prnllt Is that there
shall be a large Immigration of coward
ly or treacherous husbands and wives
from other states. And this fact will,
we doubt not, add speed to the move
ment In favor of honorable uniformity
In all the legal provisions of the various
etutea Intended to safeguard the purity
and the sanctity of the American home.
Tho emotions of President Cleveland
as he read Queen Lll's abdication have
not been and doubtless will not be tle

those of a man who has been cruelly

two days overdue, paused for more than

convinced that they could Jiot roach the
distressed ship, Captain Crawford gave
orders to steer his big ocean palace til
rectly up to the schooner, so that tho
occupants of the latter might reach tho
Teutonic by launching their own small
boats.
The giving of such tn order Involved
no Ulttle bravery on Captain Crawford's
part, since in the face of the tremendous
storm of last Friday, It subjected the
Teutonic to the danger of a possible
collision, which could scarcely have
been other than violent Bind perhaps de
structive. The experiment, however,
succeeded to perfection, and every man
on board the schooner was picked up
In safety. The contrast afforded be
tween this circumstance and the craven
course of the captain of the Cralthie
after that vessel had struck the Elbe is
exceedingly vivid. According to the
rules of the big steamship companies.
Captain Crawford's course was prob
ably censurable, inasmuch as In the
mad competition for quick voyages
those companies have come to regard
human life of small concern when It
Interferes with fast sailing. Uut judged
by landsmen's standards, It was pure
heroism, which can hardly be praised
too effusively.
All honor to Captain Crawford, and
to his gallant crew!

Progressive Charities. '
The Ingenuity displayed nowadays by
people in all localities who are Intent
upon helping their fellow men 1h a
pretty strong argument in disproof of
the assertion, made by some, that kind
ness of heart and generosity of impulse
are declining characteristics of the
modern American. Indeed, with the
Kirmess before us, in successful local
evidence, und with the novel charities
that one may read about, almost any
day, in any newspaper, it seems reason
able to conclude that whenever a cynic:
asserts such things he does not know
n-hat he Is talking about. The cynic,
by the way, is fond these days of point
ing out great defects In the life that
those Americans live and the number
who live it is growing rapidly, the cen
sus tells us who reside in the large
cities. Uut the cynic seldom admits the
counterbalancing truth that in those
same large cities where poverty pre
vails, and crime and vice and wretched
ness, there are daily arising new and
valuable amelioratory agencies, the like
of which has never before been known,
in the whole history of the human race.
Within a week we have, in these
columns, described no Jess than three
of these Improved methods of making
unhuppy people comfortable. We dare
say that lu that time twenty timcf
three such Improvements have been
planned and put into execution, with
out our knowing It. One of the curious
facts. In human nature Is that it is In
variably evil news which travels the
fastest, if it were not so, we should
print fewer records of crime and wrong
and a great many more records of hon
est philanthropy. Ho that as It may,
we now take pleasure in adding to the
credit side of our dally ledger two en
tries in the account of civilization with
its victims. And, by no mere coinci
dence, they both relate to charities late
ly inaugurated with remarkable suc
cess in that bane of cynics, the contin
ent's metropolis.
The first of these entries must be re
corded in the name of a number of
sympathetic (lotham ladies who have
organized at Iii7 West Eighteenth
street what, for convenience sake, they
call the Doun Relief association. In
brief, this association operates upon the
supposition that there are hundreds of
needy families who may be benefitted
in better ways than by making- out
right donations to them. The associa
tion therefore loans them whatever
they niny need, whether money, fuel,
clothing, furniture, medicine or medi
cal attendance, and charges such small
Interest or rental that Its loans become
real charities. The missionary nurse
last year made 1,57." calls upon sick
families; employment was found for 1ST,
persons, of whom forty have obtained
permanent places; 750 delicacies were
sent to' the sick room and 475 simple
remedies furnished. Not the leant in
structive fact, in connection with this
original movement, is the assertion of
Its management that in all of Its many
hundreds of transactions had with
families In all stuges of want or suffer
ing, not a penny has yet been lost la
cause of theft or through failure to
make a proper return of borrowed.
articles.
To Rev. Dr. David . Greer, pasto
of St. Hartholomew's, must be credited
the second enterprise In this list; and
he it wan, too, who originated the In
dustrial training school for the poor,
about which we recently wrote. The
project at present In mind Is also a loan
bureau, somewhat similar to that just
described. This bureau loans nothing
but money, and was started by Dr.
flreer out of Ills personul funds, upon
the principle that loans to persons In
need, even It not "secured" to the same
extent exacted by usurers, would In the
great majority of Instances be repaid.
Concerning the experiment's outcome
the New York Tribune says;'
It was n. hazardous undertaking-. tint
Dr. (ireer was conlldent that It could be
mudo u success, und the result of the first
yenr's work hus Rhown that confidence
uiiiai trust In the deserving poor was not
mffplueed. The sum of Kim a week was
appropriated for tho llrst louns, but It soon
became apparent that this amount would
not equnl the demnnd, nnd a fund of $'J5,Ki0
was raised by the congregation of St
Hiirtholomew's church, of which Pi-
Ureer Is pastor. James A. McKnlght was
appointed mnnuger, and In tho eourso of
tho first eight months a total sum of S2",-
551.50 had been loaned to 7H8 different fam
ilies, unit the fund has received buck In lu
stalments 7,58(l.09. All loans uro made
for one yenr, and are puyuble 111 small
monthly Instalments. Tho good accom
pllshed by the bureau cannot hn easily
explained. People who havo found them
selves suddenly reduced from comfortable
Independence to beggury have been suvud
by t'he bureau from the clutches of the ex
tortionate money "sharks." It has saved
the property of families, which would oth
erwise have been sold for storage, nnd has
given those upon whom misfortune has
fallen the power to help themselves. The
uurcuu is now leniung nuoul Jii.000 a
month. Although the applicants are
greatly In excess of tho resources, tho re
turns for tho year show an extremely sat
isfactory result. Patrons have puld off
their Indebtedness, in. most cuses, with
commenduble promptness, and only a fow
borrowers, who have met unexpected re
verses, have asked for an extension of
time. It Is difficult for those In comfort
able curcumstunces to appreciate the
depths of suffering to which people in
humble condition can full through lack cf
credit. They possess nothing which the
bunks cun take us security, and their only
salvation Is the money-lenders, it la to
supplant this class of extortionists that
St. Itartholomcw s bureau has been es
tablished.

LEGISLATIVE TOPICS.
Need of Compulsory KdiKutiou.
Allentown l.i-aitur: The main pui-pose
of a cempulsoi-y education law Is to
snatch children from highway Idleness
and put them to school by force. There is
an Incidental purpose of shutting them out
of mills and factories till they reach n lit
age, lint tnts is a minor consideration.
The thing needed is a strong, forceful,
etifureable law that will put u vigorous
( heck to the juvenile truancy and vaga
bondage that are In such vogue nowadays.
A bill that will simply turn children out
of factories ami malic no provision tor
their employment after they are thus
turned out, will bo a rank failure. The
aim of the law must be, not to employ less
children than now, but to employ many,
muny more. And that employment lnuht
be found In the school room. There are
hundreds of Indifferent parents In this
state who have no thought for their chil
dren's education. They allow them to
ramble us they please and develop In'-j
ignorant loafers us they will. Instead of,
attending M-hool day by day these boys
and girls grow up In dense stupidity and
utter laziness. It should be the parents'
duty to remedy this; but where the pa
rents fall the stale must step In. Heme
the real need of such a law us Mr. l-arr
has proposed.
...
l ighting the Text Hook Combine.
Tho bill of Representative Douthett, of
Hutler, to limit the cost of school books,
which Is occasioning considerable talk
just now, provides for a school book
beard, to consist of the governor, sec
retary of the commonwealth and state
superintendent of public Instruction.
Within sixty days after the passage or
the act, the state superintendent Is ex
pected to have gathered required niiorma-
tion ami prepared a list ot text Ijook:!,
with the publishers' price attached. The
board will fix the price for each school
book not to exceed 75 per cent, of the
wholesale rate now quoted. After the list
of school books Is prepared the publish
ers will be asked for proposals at pries
not exceeding the new ones lixed by the
board to furnish the books for live years
under contract, the school boards to pay
the freight. For every failure to till or
ders the publishers will be lined $.MW. The
books adopted cannot be changed for five
years without a three-fourths vote of Un
heard. The boards can order 1 lie books
from the publishers at the prices stipu
lated by the school book board, or if they
can secure the same books for less money,
they are at liberty to do so.

I avors Otiuy County.
Philadelphia lnq.ilrer: Quay county,
the new county which Is to be added to
the sixty-seven counties of Pennsylvania,
has won its own way In spite of opposi
tion from the old county seats of the two
counties from which tv'uuy county Is to be
created. For iiuiny years now the people
of southern Luzerne and northern Schuyl
kill have been compelled to travel llfty
miles to reach their county scats. Su- h
journeys have been troublesome and ex
pensive. They have interfered seriously
wllh justice. The people have consented
to wrong and clime because of tho time
iiml costliness Involved In the legal rem
edying of wrong. Witness fees, nill.-a ?o
ullownnces, etc., have been very large,
und the cost to the public hns, It Is be
lieved, been sullliient to maintain another
county with uu accessible county scut.

not received with much favor anywhere.
The present compensation Is $I,5iki for the
session. To add l,no to the pay of euch

Tho Pulpit's Commission.
From Dr. Parkhurst's Address.
No preacher ever puts the pressure of
the authoritative otllce upon the local
moral current of municipal events with
out hearing from one or another of his
parishioners that the pulpit would better
confine Itself to the spiritualities and leavo
civic concerns to the arbitrament of the
expert, tho district leader and the party
"boss." I would see the entire center
alslo of my church swept clean of the
whole breed of thorn before I would sur
render aught of the dignity that Uod puts
upon the pulpit or drop to a more Inde
terminate -key the tone of authority with
which the preacher Is divinely ordained to
address himself to all that concerns the
moral life, purposes and economy of his
town and time, knowing not only that
this is the divine meaning of the pulpit,
but knowing beside thut the retreat of the
politicians through tho center aisle will
be more than made good by freHh access
of worshipers In the gullery.
