If Mayor Strong' had been elected as
It Piatt Kepubllcan, his refusal to con
sider Piatt's interests in making ap
pointments would have been, as Kip
ling would say, quite another story.
Hut the truth! Is that Mayor Strong was
elected directly by the people; and he
does well to remember their claims to
a business-like and non-partisan muni
cipal administration.
Peculiar Obliquity of Vision.
In theory, nothing looks easier than
the problem of regulating the anthra
cite coal trade, but In practice, noth
ing else appears to be quite so difficult
There is comparatively little division
cf opinion as to the amount of coal yet
unmined, as to the amount needed,
from year to year, by the market, or as
to the price at which this latter amount
needs to be sold in order to return to
Its producers a reasonble margin of
profit. These facts are readily gotten
facts are also known, and ad
mitted. For Instance, It Is known at
present Just how many companies are
mining anthracite coal; just how much
the coal-owning railroad companies are
sacrificing through their disinclination
to come to an agreement as to the
percentage of tonnage that Is fairly its
due; and Just about how much lunger
these railroad companies, in this period
of general business depression, can, as
a matter of self-preservation, afford to
fiddle faddle before coming up' to the
chalk mark.
Then why delay the needed readjust
ment? This is where theory parts
company with practice; where common
sense gives place to narrow inability
to look ahead. The railroad companies
appear to have an eye only on Immedi
ate freight revenues, and to be, at least
In one or two Instances, blind to the ul
timate cost of a present failure to re
place the anthracite trade on a stable
end equitable basis. Let us hope their
eyesight will soon Improve.
Kx-Senator Fassett's Intimation that
the Republican party in New York
State could be In much better business
than squabbling like a pack of angry
children over a few non-partisan ap
pointments made by a non-purtisan
mayor In - a Democratic city strikes
pretty close to the bull's eye. And he
might have added that Piatt started
the quarrel.
The Rise of a Great Newspaper.
i The announcement that James W.
Pcott, publisher of the Chicago Herald,
rias purchased from John R. Walsh
the controlling Interest In that paper
and also In the Evening Post, supple
mented by the assertion that the CMI
cftgo Times Is to be merged Info the
Herald, la an Important one to persons
Interested In newspaper changes. For
the past five or six years the Herald,
tinder Mr. Scott's able management,
has been recognized as the foremost
newspaper In the went, both 'as a prop
erty and as a representative of the best
thought and enterprise In the mechani
cal and Intellectual departments of
newspaper production. Its politics, to
le sure, has been reprehenslbly Demo
cratic, but In all other particulars in
tha accuracy and variety of Its news, In
the exquisite neatness of Its appearance
and finally In Its liberality of expen
diture for good service from Its em
ployesIt has stood on a line with the
very best Journals In the United States,
nnd therefore In the world.
In dollars and cents, the Herald news
paper, franchises and bulldlngare prob
ably worth very close to $2,000,000, being
one of the five most valuable newspaper
properties In the world. It was started
ly Mr. Scott fourteen years ago. In the
rear room of a small building on Fifth
avenue, Chicago, and rumor says that
the institution's net cash capital, -at
beginning, was $17. Another tradition
has It that the paper's first counting
room had for Its counter piece a rough
hoard laid on two empty cracker 'bar
rels. These 1 stories are no ' doubt
apocryphal; but they Illustrate, 1n per
haps an exaggerated way, the news
paper's modest beginning. The Herald's
growth Into metropolitan size and pros
perity Is directly due to Mr. Scott's
fbuslnesa energy and executive skill,
afterward aided by Mr. Walsh's money
and counsel. The rapidity of that
growth Is a tribute to Chicago discern
ment, and a signal refutation of the
eastern hypothesis that "nothing good
cin come out of Chicago."
Should the predicted merging of the
Chlcaf o Tlmti Into the Herald -occur,
the latter newspaper will be In almost
unquestioned possession of the Demo
cratic field In a stretch of country In
cluding almost half the area of the
United States minus Alaska, and repre
senting an aggregate population of
from 10,000,000 to 15,000.000 souls. The
Importance of having' so good and so
clean a newspaper as the Herald poll
tics apart In control of this fluid Is
very manifest. The Times, which
under Wilbur F. Storey's ownership,
exerted a larger Influence than any
other Chicago paper, hus of late years
deteriorated until very recently It was
scarcely more than a dully bulletin
of annrchlHtio rantlngs against organ
ized society and the conserving forces
of law and order. Its Hume and fran
chises, however, are still of value, and
by merging them In the Herald Mr.
Scott will got a property ubout as near
the ucmu of desirability as Is any In
present existence. We wish him suc
cess; for .tho influence he will wield Is
second to none In the United States.

vention of Daughters of the Revolution

To Investigate Uruver Cleveland.
The Intimation of Senutor Cliuiidlr
that at the llrst session of the next
congress steps will be taken to Inves
tigate the president's action In Helling
government bonds way below their
market value Is probably prophetic.
This action Is so manifestly censurable
uud so wholly out of harmony with the
traditions of the government (mt wt!
cannot see how an Investigation can
be averted. Hut whether probed by
congress or not. It will assuredly be In
quired Into by the people, and charged
up, by them, as one of the many dis
creditable items whereby they will
haw reason to remember this Demo
crat to administration.
To recapitulate: the Democrats, in
1S92, complained that the Republicans
were guilty of extravagance. Although
the national debt was decreasing stead
ily, every month; and notwithstanding
that the natlonul credit was irre
proachable, throughout the world,
while at home the prevalence of profit
able Industry was most gratifying,
they declared, with great emphasis,
and re-Iterated with immoderate zeal,
that the government's revenues were
too large, that the government's sur
plus was too big, that there was too
much prosperity, and that the people
were being robbed. When we think of
these things, and then look back upon
how the Democratic party acted when
It got into power how It fell at once to
cutting the throat of American indus
try, how it utterly starved the federal
revenues, and how finally its "great
and good" president .seeing almost lit
eral insolvency ahead, took to peddling
out bonds, not to the highest bidder in
an open market, but to u favorite for
eign syndicate, me contract with which
he negotiated behind barred doors we
sometimes wonder whether government
by the people; that Is to say. jsi'Veni-
ment by such people. Is, after all, a
genuine success.
An Investigation of these transac
tions by congress will serve mainly to
emphasize the apparent unfitness of the
American people to govern themselves.
We -say "apparent," because, In spite
of such periods of aberration as that
period was wherein drover Cleveland
and his chaotic following managed to
get into power, the hope has not yet
left us that there will be a recurrence
of wholsome common sense and ra
tional thinking among the groat masses
of the people; and that the virus of the
canker of class prejudice and socialistic
fermentation, to which -drover Cleve
land owes his second tenure of the
presidency will yet be got out of the
vital currents of our citizenship.
Kx-Oueen Lil appears to have been
the latest victim of the deadly diary
habit.
The Right Kind of a Fighter.
There Is one man who emerges from
the recent municipal contest In Phila
delphia with an Improved claim to the
gratitude and admiration of the Re
publican 'party. That man Is Senator
Boise Penrose.
When we consider the circumstances
which attended his defeat for the
mayoralty nomination and reflect upon
what must have been the natural
promptlngsof his young, aggressive and
virile disposition, the forbearance and
self restraint which he displayed In re
fusing to sanction any kind of revolt
from the nomination of his sucessful
competitor, and the fortitude wl'.h
Which he put aside personal feeling inur-
dertovoteand work for Mr. Warwick's
election, stand out vividly to his credit.
He took his medicine like a man, did
his whole duty to the party and Is now
ready to take a clean and a strong hand
In future events.
This Is the kind of politics which the
average Yankee admires; and Senator
Boise Penrose Is the kind of politician
who. If he profit by this experience, can
have a large following throughout the
state,
There Is some question as to the good
results of a "greater United Stntes" agi
tation that would lead to tho annexa
tion of frigid, foggy Newfoundland..
As to Corporal Punishment.
The occurrence In No. 18 school Wed
nesday, If correctly reported, supplies
a good text for a discourse upon the
wrongfulness of corporal punishment
when administered publicly, It appears
that a number of boys In one of the
rooms became unruly, necessitating the
calling in of the principal, He under
took to enforce discipline and was 'at
tacked. The result was a rough-and-tumble
fight, with the entire roomful
of pupils as spectators a finale utterly
subversive of the best discipline and
damaging In Its Influences,
We doubt whether corporal punish
ment Is ever permanently beneficial In
the school room. It has a tendency to
Inspire pugnacity and to encourage the
animal passions. But If, under excep
tional circumstances, corporal punish
ment should seem to be unavoidable, It
should Invariably be administered In
private, with ne other spectators than
tho teacher, the pupil and possibly one
mature witness. . This plan would pre
vent the unwholesome Influences of It
from extending to Impressionable chil
dren. .
Wt do not assume upon our slight
knowledge of the facts, to-pronounce
judgment in this particular case; nor
Is It always possible to govern turbu
lent children without a public show of
authority, backed up, If necessary, by
muscular force. But us a general
proposition, we think It more 'than
probable that the Instructor who chas
tises his pupils In public commits a
mistake, the effect of which Is harmful
and therefore censurable. The public,
in most places, hus outgrown that kind
of school government.

LLUISL AT I V I : TOPICS.
The Legislature Defended.
Philadelphia Inquirer's lliirrlsburg let
ter: The legislative critic has his hands
full just now censuring the legislature for
ullegeil extravagance In every direction.
He llmls his occupation un easy one, for It
Is so easy to criticise when facts Hie not
essential to the criticism. Imagination
and partisan prejudice, coupled with con
siderable Ignorance of the subjects criti
cised have been at the bottom of many of
the stories of rec kless extravagance, sent
out of llarrisburg recently. This legisla
ture is no woiwe than scores of Its pre
decessors and In many respects is in
finitely better, it Is one of the most Indus
trious bodies that ever convened on Capi
tol hill. The membership Is above the
average legislative Intelligence and fit
ness. As to loose anil extravagant legis
lation It need only be remarked that sev
eral measures which have been denounced
us schemes to pillage the state treasury
are actually money-savers. Reference Is
made especially to the bills creating de
uartinents. These have been pointed out
us evidences of the prodigality of the
party In power. In nearly every case, IT
not all, these bills involve economy by the
consolidation of boards and commissions
which nsve no responsible head. In one
Instance the creation of a department
proposed In a pending measure will result
In the saving to the state of several thous
ands of dollars. In another case the stale
will gain $1,''I by the passage of a bill
which the clitics dec lare Is the creation of
Hn olllco at the expense of the people. So
the wholo list might be gone over.
other Theater Nutsunces.
Philadelphia Record: The big hat bill,
aimed at the vain and Inconsiderate theater-going
woman, will probably never be
corno a law on the statute book. The cru
sade of public sentiment to which It has
given rise, however, may result In Its
adoption In all the states of the I'nlon as
nn unwritten law. Already one authen
tic Instance Is upon record of a lady hav
ing turned to the man In the seat behind
her to Inquire If her bonnet obstructed his
view of the stage. An encouraging subsi
dence of the lofty headgear may now be
expected In the theaters, until the proper
low-tide of a dainty, poetic "sweet lit
tle thing" of a bonnet shall be reached.
When this devoutly to be wished for con
summation shall have been accomplished,
the corrective legislation of public opin
ion may then turn Its batteries upon the
theater party that gossips throughout the
play or opera ami the man who goes out
between the aots.
Calling a 'Needed Halt.
Pittsburg Commercial-dinette: Let not
our itepubllcnn friends presume too nni.ii
on the big majorities of last year, nor
count ton confidently upon a long lease of
power. What Is needed to secure u con
tinuance of the popular confidence Is
clean, honest and economical legislation.
Tho reverse of thut will bring Inevltublo
disaster. Kvery year the people nre be
coming less wedded to purty and more
it aily to visit their displeasure upon those
who betray their confidence. It Is time to
rail a halt upon the mad pace that has al
ready been set Bt lliirrlsburg. There Is no
reason to doubt that Governor Hastings
will do his whole duty, but hn should not
be asked to net as chief snake-killer to a
Republican legislature.
Soma of the latest Projects.
A bill Introduced by Representnlve
Crothers exempts leased sowing machines
from levy and sale for arreurs of rent, and
one. by Representative Jlurvey, of "Lu
zerne, would, If passed, reduce the profits
of pawnbrokers fully one-half. It limits
the charges for Interest on money ad
vanced to 0 per cent, per annum, und for
the storage of goods to 2 per cent, per
month, which would make a net maxi
mum charge of 'J'i per cent, per month,
Instead of ! ami U per rent, as Is now
charged. Another bill pending In the
house makes It unlawful for anybody to
exhibit In public any human being af
flicted with physical or menial deformity,
An l:xeellent beginning.
Philadelphia Record: (Jovernor Hast
ings's first veto lilts the legislative spend
thrifts In a tender place. It snips oft the
head of nn embryo Judge ami calls a halt
tiKh the business of Judse-muklng. This
Is a good beginning.
Penrose Mot a Kicker.
From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
The friends of Senator Penrose mani
fested their loyalty to the Republican can
didates In a fashion which sets at rest all
doubts as to their position In the canvass.
In the wards where they are especially
strong and In which the Democrats had
been building great hopes on tho use of
"the knife" the returns prove that thore
was little or no defection. Whatever dif
ferences they may have to settle over
question of party management will be
settled within the party linen. They have
shown the manly spirit of fair play and
Senator Penrose himself set the example
conspicuously by appearing nt the polls
and performing his duty In bringing out
the Republican vote of his precinct and
ward. ,
Deserves a Generous Rosponio.
From the Elmhurst Signal.
Last Wednosday the Hcranton Tribune
published a proposition foe raising a fund
to. finish- and, furnish the Young. Men's
Christian association building In Scran
ton. We aarneatly hope that thore will be
a generous response to this noble effort of
Tho Tribune for a worthy und most de
serving cause.
TIIL IIANDLUY MILLIONS. '
Prom the Philadelphia Inquirer.
It seems to bo Pennsylvania's bad luck
to see her wealth go to the enrichment of
other states and countries. A Standard
oil fortune bos built up a university in
Chicago. The late Ueorge W. Chllds scat
tered monuments around the world, but
ut up no tributes to Pennsylvania au
thors In his own state. Natives of the
statu like Lick and Yerkes seem to have
thought thut Pennsylvania could take
cure of herself, tind the one built un ob
servatory upon the Puclllu roust, while
the other hus started un art gallery In
Chlcugo. Living PeniisylvuiiluiiH give
most llhcrully to the university, but a
generous bequest to that Institution Is not
often heard of. It could be wished that it
were otherwise, und thut It were the fash
ion for the weulthy sons of Pennsyl
vania when dying to show more practical
appreciation, of some of the state's great
institutions, und of tho statu Itself, und
to scatter less of their wealth to the four
winds.
Why tho late Judge Hundley Ignored the
claims upon him of tho city In which he
lived Is explained by the Scrunton Trib
une, which paper declines that Si ranton
persistently misunderstood Judge Hand
ley, uuil vented Its prejudice lit a cheap
form of small revenge. The Insult, It de
clares, rankled, and when Juduo Hundley
cuino to dispose of his furluuu he left the
most of It to the town In Virginia. As
Scruiitou ulreudy possesses the Albright
.Memorial Ki-tte library, Winchester piob
ably needs the Hundley money more thun
Scrunton needs II, but I hut does not alter
the fact thut the Scrunton fortune has
gone elsewhere, or make thoughts of what
might have been less common,
.Judge Hundley uppeurs to have been one
of those frequent strong willed men who
get out of hunnoiiy with the communities
where they live for causes which brouder
gauged persons would overlook, llecoul i
have made his Scrunton opponents thor
oughly ushumed of themselves, whereas
they will luiw probably refer to the Hund
