The difference between a lecturer
and a prize lighter as a "drawing; card"
in Hcianton will be Illustrated this
week, In a manner that will probably
splinter this city's pretensions to re
finement and culture.
Evidently a Slander.
V'e refuse to believe, In advance nf
any authoritative pronouncement on
the subject, that Governor Hastings en
tertains a fcWiiiffof hesitancy with ref
erence to compulsory education in this
ptate, feaiinff lest Its enactment might
cost the Republican party a few Ignor
ant votes, "'e prefer to believe that
those Journals which by Insinuation
credit him with such a feeling are sim
ply misinformed, or that they are ro
mancing. We know there are a few weak sisters
among the men to whom common report
ascribes the direction of legislative
policy at Harrisbura; who maintain,
upon this subject as well as upon cer
tain other subjects, an attitude of vacil
lation. They are men who appear, by
their conduct, to think that political
parties have no higher mission In life
than to keep them in office; and who,
then-fore, are willing at any time to
sacrilice principle to a false conception
of expediency, no matter Into what In
consistencies this willingness may lead
them. These men advocated compul
sory education, two years ago, not be
cause they cared a picayune whether
it was, In Itself, a right or a wrens
measure, but merely because they
thought they saw in that advocacy of
It an opportunity to aceeumulate the
miserable thing called "party capital"
at the ejpense of the then Democratic
governor. AVe respected the frankness
with which Governor Pattlson an
nounced his position on this subject, al
though we did not agree with him. lint
we have the utmost contempt for the
type of Invertebrate politician, be his
momentary eminence what it may, who
can see no other aim In public legisla
tion than to truckle, hnt in hand, to
some fitful popular prejudice or mush
room fad of the hour.
We refuse to believe those who dare
to Insinuate that in this or any other
matter Governor Hastings, with his
quarter of a million plurality Indorse
ment behind him as an ever available
hack-bone stlfTener, would uv could be
beguiled Into the paltry attitude of the
man who Is without the frank and man
ly courage of his convictions. We pre
fer to believe that the Individual who
credits to the Republican governor of
this commonwealth a lack of solid grit
and nerve at one moment slanders both
the governor and the party which he
represents.
YVe have never believed that Senator
Quay would personally sanction thr ab
surd proposition to "Lexow" the city
nf Philadelphia. P.ear this In mind an-
, til a month from now, and see If wc
' Kvere not correct.
nr. Dana Should Apologize.
In general, the newspaper publisher
tir editor who is sued for libel Is de
Serving of the sympathy of his fell low
craftsmen, for the reason that a great
majority of such suits have no founda
tion In Justice. But there are excep
i tions to this rule, and the suit about to
be brought against Charles A. Dana, of
the New York Sun, by F. 11. Noyes, of
the Washington Star, seems to be one
Of them. Mr, Dana is the president of
the United Press. Mr. Noyes Is a di
rector In the Associated Press. Mr.
IDana in his eagerness to promote tha
' business fortunes of the newsgathering
corporation of which he Is the execu
tive head has frequently used tht
editorial columns of the Sun to attack
tnen prominently connected with
the competing organization. lie
Uld this In the case of Mel
Ivllle E. Stone, whom he abused seem
ingly without warrant, and for no other
apparent reason than because Mr.
fctone was the general manager of the
Associated Press and a good one. Ho
klld It. In nther rnjtos.
Finally, he did It In the case of Mr.
(Noyes, a man who stands as high In
tils department of newspaper work as
(Mr. Dana does In his. The editorial
Of the Sun attacking Mr. Noyes con
tained a conspicuous libel and it was
altogether uncalled for. Mr, Noyes has
ns good a right, In both law and mor
als, to be one of the directing man
agers of the Associated Press as Mr.
Dana has to be the president of the
(United Press; nor has either gentle
man any moral and, we question,
legal right to abuse the other for the
exert Iso of such obvious right and
privilege. Mr. Noyes' decision to prose
cute Mr. Dana for criminal libel may
seem harsh to those who, overlooking
Mr. Dana's one conspicuous weakness,
see In him a distinguished and praise
worthy editor, in many respects un
equalled, but it appears to us to be
necessary In order to ascertain how far
the luw will permit business compe
tition to Bene us an excuse for wan
ton personal ubuse and slanderous mis
representation. The Tribune is a patron and fran
chise holder of the United Press, but
it has no reason to feel that the gen
tlemen who mumige tho Associated
Press are necessarily und ex olliclo
scoundrels. There Is room In this great
country for two good news gathering
organizations, each of which will be the
better for the wit-sharpening compe
tition of the other. Why should not the
warfare between them be a good
natured and open one? Why should
It require, on either side, tile printing
aguinst the opposite side of libels und
slanders? We think that Mr. lhuiu
owes it not only to Mr. Noyes but to
the I'nited Press Itself to make n pub
lic retraction of his assertions in the
Sun of last Friday; and also to make
publlu apology for their uppeurunce.
His kind of lighting does not win.
Governor Norton has signed a bill
making it unlawful to display any for
eign Hag on any state, county or muni-
pal building in New York state, except
in honor of the presence of some dis
tinguished foreign guest, 'it is a good
thing," said Governor Morton when lie
signed it; and therefore he pushed it
along. He was right. The American
flag is plenty good enough for nil per
sons who claim to be Americans.
Harmony In Hunks.
A few months ago the public read a
good deal, in Democratic papers, about
the factionalism that was said to exist
In the Republican ranks of Lacka
wanna county. Small differences were
magnified by our Democratic friends
until they took on the aspect of tiv
mendous party convulsions; and unless
our memory be greatly at fault, one
of the most ingenious of these mag
nifying organs was Colonel Frank Fitz
simmons' Sunday News. It occurred to
us, at the time, that factionalism was
a subject not -necessarily conllned to
one party; and we are now more than
ever contirmed in this belief by perusal
of the amiable colonel's own readable
department In the esteemed News
known as "Pastime's Jottings." We
infer from yesterday's Jottings that fac
tionalism is even now epidemic, und
virulently epidemic, in the colonel's own
political household. Apropos, let us
quote the colonel's own language:
In the recent uldermanic contest in the
Eighth ward one of the moat persistent
boodlers was a federal otllecholder. Hi
insisteil on huving money. He has held a
Democratic appointment many years. To
my knowledge he has always demanded
money at eleotions. 1 know that the same
individual, although holding a Democratic
appointment for many years, has not been
true to the party at any election. He rep
resents nothing himself, and he betrays
his truest friends and abuses the party
that gives him a living. Is there any rea
son why he should be allowed to do vi
any longer? Ought he not be summarily
dismissed, and his place filled by an hon
est man? It is time that trulaors of sneaK
lns? proclivities should lie relegated to ob
scurity. If officeholder must have money
on election day from the party that gives
them breal there should be little fault
found with the ordinary hoodlcr. The ac
tion of the sublei-t of theso lines cannot
be depended upon, lie has not a friend
who can say a word in his behalf. Ills
innate weukness for boodle has at last
proved his utter downfall. 1 am very
much mlslaken If he cun ingratiate him
self In the confidence and esteem of thoso
who gave him a standing In this commun
ity and an opportunity to command re
spect. The foregoing quarrel, It should be
said, Is "none of our funeral." We do
not even suspect to whom our Irate
contemporary alludes although If any
Democratic federal office-holder In ths
city shall chance to be discharged be
tween this time and March 5, tho
public will he In a position to guess.
We allude to the episode at all simply
to show, in the enemy's owh language,
the present condition of the enemy's
camp. It strikes us, as we casually
pass the subject by, that when It
comes to talking about factionalism,
those who live In glass houses should
know better than to make a practice
of throwing stones.
Mr. Fow's declaration that there "will
be no West Side hospital this year"
would possess more weight If Mr. Fow
were the only gentleman concerned In
the government of this great state.
The Traction company which operates
It) Plttston, according to all accounts,
Is waiting for the summer sunlight to
uncover their tracks In some portions
of the city while tho patrons of the road
are compelled to .walk in the slush.
If proper steps were taken to relieve the
sleeping Traction officials of their chnr
ter there Is no doubt that other com
panies could be found whose officials
would run cars on time. The woods
are full of 'em.
The unanimous opposition of the most
Ignorant kind of parents to the pro
posed compulsory education law Is a
Htrong argument In Its favor.
An Interesting Spectacle.
Apologists for the administration' se
cret bond sale .try o Justify thnt ex
traordinary proceeding by alleging
that had the president not thrown his
big five or ten million dollar sop to tho
Morgan-Hothschlld syndicate at the
very moment of the 2d of February,
various financlnl institutions through
out the world 'would, within a week,
have refused all American exchanges.
This Is the official explanation vouch
safed by no less a person that Senotor
Vilas, of Wisconsin, the cuckoo-ex trnnr
dinary of the Grover Cleveland regime.
Mr. Vilas, had he chosen to do so,
might have made this explanation con
siderably clearer by asserting, with
no doubt equal truth, that the
various financial Institutions" to
which he alluded were institutions
within the Rothschilds' sphere of
Influence, and hence attuned tlmlr
threats to the Rothschilds' key
note. That is to say, the syndicate of
alien bond-buyers, in order to get, at
104V4, United States 8V1 per cent, bonds
worth anywhere from 115 to 120 In open
market, "worked a bluff" on our verdant
president, and made anywhere from ),
000,000 to $12,000,000 In consequence
thereof.
What a pretty spectacle It is, to be
sure! A president afraid in the first
place that the national credit of his
country in time of peace would not
survive for seven days unless he should
buy off its foreign assailants; and, In
the second place, a president so afraid
of his own party following In congress
that he ti led for several days to screen
his transaction from their knowledge,
fearful lest they might raise a suf
ficient row about it "to cause the syndi
cate, lifter all, to back out of Its bar
gain! It takes Deiuocrutlo statesman
ship to parallel this humiliation.
The Individual who wandered away
from his home In Akron, Ohio, several
years ugo und has just uwukencd to
1 1 1 nl himself running a saloon in In
diana, seems to have reversed the na
tural order of events. Men havu fre
quently awakened to find themselves In
the ditch or on the doorstep, but it is
seldom that one recovers from a period
of forgetfulness to llnd himself dis
pensing tlie mixtures that bring on
stupor.
It Is nsserted, In a dispatch from St.
Paul, that the recent papal encyclical
against secret societies bus been Incor
rectly interpreted. The letter, it Is
said, was not mandatory, but only ad
visory. This, If true, partially mends
matters; und even more liberal conces
sions in the same direction may be con
fidently expected.
Professor ltothrock's assertion, In a
recent lecture, that one acre of land
out of every nineteen acres in the com
monwealth has been ubandoned be
cause of the destructiveness of forest
fires is startling; yet no doubt true.
The f ast failure of tho legislature to
(nurd the state's forests is already be
ginning; to bear costly fruit.
A Chlcagoan named McDonough is
the latest discoverer of a process of
photography which will "surely repro
duce the natural colors." These "dis
coverers I link with the discoverers of
perpetual motion; yet their much
vaunted colors very slngulurly remain
Invisible.
New York electrical workers who
have just gone out on a strike for
shorter hours, with the result of the
Drooklyn trolley war fresh In their
minds, possess u degree of faith in their
own resources that, to say the least, is
remarkable.
The Republican party in Pennsylva

New County Prospects.
pviltnilelnlilu, Times: Of tho three the
bill that calls for the dismomlmrtnent of
Luzerne and Schuylkill Is tile must prae
Lical and is the only one likely to pass. It
Is now through the senate and awaits the
action of the house. 1 lie territory em
braced in the limits has a population i
yond Bn.tmo, covering about U square
miles In area. The counties affected have
a population of according to the
nsus of IV.ni, with an area, i i.wn square
miles. It Is an unquestioned tact mat
lower Luzerne Is far removed from
Wllkes-llane. the county seat, the dis
tance of llfty miles covering at least three
mountain ranges. The ten townships of
Schuylkill Included in the bill are equally
removed from J'ottsville, and the time
und expense of attending court are serious
and costly Items for those who must be
present at the civil and criminal sessions.
it Is given as further weight or argument
for tho passage of the new county bill
that over two thousand Indictments and
ases aro now on the Lnzernn calendar,
and the regular terms, although almost
continuous, cannot dispose of the busi
ness, which does not include civil Issues,
special arguments and equity causes. Lu
zerne and Schuylkill counties are lending
among the opulous centers of the state
and differ materially from Lancaster und
Jierks, their equals, in having u foreign
population that Is constantly in litigation
or on the trial lists. If there Is to be a
new county formed from thiv territory of
the two counties Interested, there Is large
cause tor Ihe movement, niir.icion is inn
natural Irude renter of the suction Imnml
in tho measure, ami as u city of 11.N7:!
Kipulatloii would make a county seat town
of the llrst Importance. Tho projmsed
new county pays JlS.utiu yearly In taxa
tion, an amount greater than thirty-three
counties of tho state, and this Is a further
title to favor.
A Mockery of Honest Ucforin.
Lebanon Report: Tho linker ballot law
ns it now stands Is a sham, a mockery of
the genuine. It practically Invites the
ward-heeler and Imws to control tho loose
vote as he will. Will not the honorable
men In the legislature, those who need
not depend on corruption to secure them
olflce, put forth iin effort to require of all
men to stand on their merits?
Your I nclo Aleck Is Evidently Mud.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Since this Journal was established pome
twenty years ago. It has earnestly striven
to deserve the hatred of every bullet thief,
every lobbyist, every Jobber, every bla-k-maller
and every dependent organ of the
city, 'and how well It bus maintained Its
consistency In meriting the hostility f
theso disreputable elements, Is shown by
tho malignant hostility that erupts from
them nsainst the 'limes whenever they
are exposed in these columns.
Tho Times Is the one newspaper of tho
city that Jifis advocated reform and d
nounccd corrnptloiilsta 3t'Ti days of every
yir, and It has lieen conspicuously hon
ored by tho most defamatory utterances
from every endangered criminal and from
every organ apologist of political crime,
This fact Is well understood by the people
of Philadelphia, and It has made the 'limes
the only Journal that they can trust for
fearless hostility to every form of misrule
and every method of political criminals.
The Times thanks the organs of Philn
delphla for their miiRllgnnnt nbusn of Its
efforts In the lute campaign. In no other
wav could It bo so effectively compll
tneuted. It fought tho battle for the tax
payers of Philadelphia; not for partisans,
It .hnd no party Intercuts to advance, no
persomil profits to secure, no friends to
reward, no enemies to punish save the
enemies of good government, and It bus
not a single utternnco to recall, nor a
simile effort to nnologlzo for.
"The Times meant all It said; It means
It today; It will mean It tomorrow; it will
mean It every day in the future, and be,
foro thoielnso of tho present year the shiv
ering organs, which In the late contest
apologized for tho political debauchery
that moHt or tnem desplseil, will bo creep
lug In behind tills journal to sld In tho
municipal regenernlon that must come.
A Hcmcdy for Ovcrlcglslatlon.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The members of sumo state legislatures
seem tnts year to on. mulcted with a
mania for tho Introduction of measures of
tho crankiest character. Hills have been
Introduced providing that men shall not
treat oach other; that high hats shall not
be worn by women in theaters; that text
and ropy books shall have on the face
of the cover a rut or picture of the United
States fig In Its proper eolors, and a
whole host of others equally as absurd.
There is a story told of an ancient re
public, a law of which was that no mem
ber of its general assembly should offer a
bill for new legislation without a rope
about his neck, bo that upon a fullure of
the measure proposed by him he should be
hanged at once. The result or this regu
lation was that fur three hundred years
no new law wus enacted und the era was
known as the golden uge of the republic.
A condition of this character tuduy would
curb the luipelouBity of some of our
blight legislators.
Why I'attisiiu Collapsed.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch,
It Is u prominent characteristic of the
public record of Hubert 10. Puttlsun that U
has been mndti by personal inlluelice near
est the governor, i'nder the tutelage of
Lewis U, Oiissidy and Stenger, his first
administration earned a reputation for
virility, independence and integrity. Un
der tint Inlluelice of Huriily and llcnsel,
his second administration was neutral and
colorless, except us u. llgureliead for a
spoils organization. The descent from
t'assldy to H unity as the power behind
the governor fully foreshadowed the wuuu
of that functionary from a, possible presi
dential quantity to a defeated candidate
for mayor.
