very much perturbed at the? passage,
on second reading, of the "drastic."
"un-American," "meddlesome," "lntol
erent," "narrow-minded," " mischiev
ous," "ridiculous," "deformed," "silly,"
"arrogant." bigoted," "upstart" and
"nefarious" Farr bill, which has been
advocated by "shallow-pated zealots."
The Truth Is funny, very.
Ireland on Patriotism.
t'pon another page we reprint, sub
stantially In full, the admirable ora
tion on American patriotism delivered
on Washington's birthday, before the
l.'nion league, Chicago, by Archbishcp
John Ireland, of St. Paul. We counsel
every friend of good government to
read It with uncommon deliberation
and care. It deserves such perusal, as
a piece of finished literature; but much
more than that, it deserves It because
it is the truthful utterance of a wise,
liberal-minded and courageous man,
who has contributed of his valor as
well as of his substance and mind to
the cause of good government in the
United States.
The discerning man must admit that
republican government on this conti
nent Is Just now undergoing an epoch
of unusual gravity and Importance. It
is, fortunately, an epoch far separated
from thoughts of civil strife. It Is
rather a crisis of intelligence than of
armed forces meeting upon fields i.f
battle. The leaven of inquiry at this
moment Is uncommonly active. Mn
are asking themselves whether, In the
light of the revealed rascality In our
large cities and of the perhaps un
equalled Incapacity evinced In the ex
piring congress, something Is not radi
cally at fault In our boasted free Inst!
tutlons. perhaps to a further degrfo
than most of us realize, the mighty en
glnery called public opinion is mov
ing toward the conclusion that reform
ation will be necessary In these Institu
tlons If there Is not to lie, on this con
tinent, a parallel of the failures
achieved in other lands whfr" men
have tried to ordain government by the
people.
All those who have felt, at times, like
yielding to these audacious doubts
should read John Ireland's oration
They will find In Its firm faith and virile
randor refreshment and new civic In
spiration. He tells us, crisply and elo
quently, what the celebrated English
man, Professor Hryce, has told us ut
greater length, that our institutions are
ail right If we but take the trouble to
do our duty toward them. He points out
to us that failure in the experiment
of self-government can only corns
through the failure of the governed to
choose, from among themselves, ser
vants fitted to govern. And the direct
blows that he deals out to Influences
now hostile to such wise selection are
as timely as they are terse, fearless and
epigrammatic.
The Carbondale Anthracite wants to
hear from the spring poets. We take
neighborly pleasure In requesting all
such contributors forthwith to address
their effusions to our Carbondale con
temporary.
Genuine Jury Reform.
The bill at Harrlsburg proposing to
exempt citizens of Pennsylvania from
Jury service oftener than once In ten
years will probably fall of enactment.
There Is no particular demand for It,
There Is a demand for the service of
Boil and clean men on Juries, but this
bill does not supply it. It alms to pre,
vent the service on Juries of profes.
(clonal hangers-on; but as nn alternative
to this vicious practice it proposes to
equip the Jury box with men totally In
experienced in Jury service. Of the two
evils, we believe we would prefer the
former.
A bill to make a three-fourths ma
jority verdict binding, in civil cases,
would be more to the point. This would
rob the ubiquitous crank of his oppor
tunity to hold up the processes of Jus
tlce through sheer perversity. We
question whether It would Jeopard the
right of any citizen or interest. It cer
tainly would more nearly conform to
the admittedly wise practice In vogue
In congress, In the case of an executive
veto; a practice which has not .worked
hardship, and which Is a useful check
upon that veto power, tho first cousin
of which is often exercised, in Jury
rooms, by the slnglo obstinate Juror
who forces the wishes of his eleven
companions.
There Is apparently no way to correct,
by law, the average Ignorunce of the
modern Jury. Public sentiment nrny,
Indeed, ameliorate it to boiiio extunt
by shaming the courts into pressing
Into Its Bervlce a higher grade of tales
men, but at this time the law will not
easily force Ignorance from Us tradi
tional field. There Is, consequently, ull
the more reason why the legislature
should by replacing the uiiunluilt y re
quirement, which Is the stupid Juror's
greut opportunity for mischief, villi
the competency of a majority verdict.
divest that unpleasant citizen of his
present unpleasant power.
According to Senator Hill, "the Dem
ocratic purty is the purty of the people.
the party of the constitution, the party
which believes In equal rights unci equal
privileges, in honest elections und In
fair play. That purty, though now
temporarily in the minority, will cer
tainly rise again." When it becomes
such a party It will certainly deserve
to rise; for it will be where llepublicans
are now.
Improved City Government.
The arena of the buttle for more effl-
clent municipal government Is likely
soon to be transferred from New Yoik
und Albany to Chicago and Springfield,
If present plans prevail. The Civic
Federation of Chicago has prepared live
bills relating to cleaner methods of
public administration, which they will
push resolutely. If passed and en
forced, these bills will revolutionize the
present corrupt political condition of
Cook county and do much for the cause
of j,'ood government everywhere. One
i f these bills we analyzed on Tuesday.
It Is known as the corrupt practices bill.
Another, which we shall herewith sum
marize, is known as the city charter
bill; and the other three, which affect
the collecting of city revenues, arbitra
tion and primary elections, we shall
discuss at some future time.
The m:itn c ljects aimed at in the pro
posed city i barter bill are of general in
tiest. The bill covers these four
points: Fust, u single council, Inde
pendent of the mayor, and the elect Hi
of aldermen (salary $2,o00 a year each)
;n the mintiity representation plan.
Second, the mayor's term of oillce (sal
ary, J 10, OH.') is lengthened to four yenrs,
and he Is m;dc Ineligible as his on
succtsscr. lie Ins a seat in tne coun
cil, with the ri;ht to debate, but ro
vote. lie appoints the heads of depaii
meiils without the consent of the couri-
il. In case of vtcancyMn the ofilc-"
of mayor the council does not (ill It, but
the office devolves on the heads of the
executive department:; In a des'rr.Mitoi
order of sucCvSHion until the next mu'!
clpiil election. 1 1 ird, the administra
tion is vested in five great executive
departments.whose heads are appointed
and are removable by the mayor.
These are: Department of accounts
and collections under the city comptrol
ler, department of finance under the
city treasurer, department of public
works under the commissioners of pub
bile, works, department of law under
the corporation counsel, department, of
public safety undr the commissioner
of public safety. This department In
cludes the police, fire and health de
partments, and also sanitary and safe
ty Inspection. And fourth, in ull cases
where special privileges, commonly
called franchises, are granted, If com
petition Is Impossible, advertisement
must be made for proposals; tho pro
posed ordinance musit be adored by the
board of control, composed of the heads
of department, and contain the terms
and conditions on which such grant can
be made; and after passage by the city
council the mayor still retains nn ol
solute veto of the ordinance. All ma
terials and structures In, over, upon or
under the streets must belong to the
city upon being put In place, und th
grantee obtains the privilege of use
during tho limited period for which the
license Is given and which Is thirty
years In case of elevated railroads,
twenty years for surface street car
lines, anil ten years for heat or power
plants, electric lights, private switch
trncks, etc., for which retitul os the or
til nance provides and on which the cost
of construction Is to be credited.
This charter marks a great advance
in the popular conception of the right
ful functions of municipal govern
ment In American titles. Hut why
should It not prove practicable?
The Philadelphia Uncord thinks that
"President Cleveland could hardly have
made a more popular selection for the
vacant place In his cabinet than the
choice of Hon. William L. Wilson."
Professor WII;:on s popularity was
shown, wu believe, at last fall's eleC'
tlons.
Ridiculous Untruths.
The Ilurrlsburg correspondent of the
Scranton Truth ought to maintain a
greater reverence for the real truth
than to suy, as he did in yesterday's
Issue ot that paper: "The only news.
papers that have unqualifiedly endorsed
the Farr bill are the North American,
of Philadelphia, the organ In which tho
orders given tho legislature by tho
American Protective association are
promulgated, and the Scranton Trlb
une."
This Is not only an untruth; It Is one
of those kind of falsehoods which are
so ingeniously worded ss to do double
the injury ot an ordinary Ho. To be
gin with, the Farr bill has been in
dorsed right in this city by the Scran
ton Free Press, the Scranton Record
and, partially, by the Scranton He
publican. In Philadelphia it has been
Indorsed by the Press and the Evening
Telegraph and the Evening Bulletin;
In Pottsvllle by the Democratic Even
ing Chronicle; in Wllllamsport by the
Times; In Allcntown, by tho Leader;
in Altoona by the Influential Tribune
and also by the Gazette; in Lebanon
by tho Dally News; in Pittsburg by
Christopher L. Magee's Times, and alBo
by the Commercial-Gazette; in Wllkes
Parre, by tho Record; and by a number
of papers in smaller places.
Liistly, tho Truth correspondent's
roundabout effort to convey the lmpres
Blon that the American Protective asso
ciation Is back of tho Farr bill and that
much of the support accorded to that
bill is due to that organization's In
fluence Is little less thun dastardly.
Tho American Protective association Is
anti-Catholic. Tho Farr bill is favored
us much by Catholics us by Protestants,
as such. It recognizes the parochial
school on equal terms with tho private
and the public school. Why, then,
ruisi) the "American Protective associa
tion" cry? What excuse can the Truth
give for this species of religious dema
gog Ism?
Tho Scranton Truth has our eym-
puthy.

Sonutor (.may's Visit und Sumo Specula
tions Concerning lis I rrccls.
Harrlsburg, March 1. There is un ele
ment of extreme uncertainty conneei.m
with tho visit of Senator Quay to this city.
announced for next week, it Is known,
for instance, that Governor HiiHtliiKS
wants to see. tho breach between him and
David Martin harmonized, und that Chris
Mugee is doing ull ho can to bring tills
consummation ubout. Martin, too, Is un
derstood to bo ready to "explain thing.!
in it wav which his friends declare will no
satisfactory to the Heaver senator, mil
on the other hand, it is ulso known tluit
Senator Quay, for once In his life, is cm
phatleully mud, und that to close lleu-
nunls he has eoiiliileil tlio nilormalion
that he intends to carry this war of his
upon tho recalcitrant I'lilladelphluns to u
finish. Can he be persuaded to forego that
vengeance? And upon what basis can
compromise bo effected? These are the
questions that puzzle the politicians ex
ceedingly. In this connection, there Is an
Inspired paragraph In this morning s 111-
nulier, the Uuay puuer of Philadelphia.
which Is regurded here us sigmncuut. u
follows: "There has been considerable
talk about n new deal In the Republican
polities of the slate, but if anybody sup
poses Governor Hastings Is going to set
uo u machine on his own account lie may
as well disabuse Ills mind on this point.
The governor is not establishing polit
ical dynasties this year, but he is en
giiged In un earnest patriotic effort to ful
fill Ills pledges to the people of the whole
state."
l or Stnto F.mployment llurcnu.
Much favorable comment Is expressed
among the members of the "Labor com
bine" for the bill of Itenre setitatlve Mar
tin, of .Mercer, to create public employ
ment offices under the care of the bureau
of industrial statistics. The measure pio-
vldes that it shall be the duty of the chief
of the bureau to establish a public employ
ment olllee In each congressional district
and employ a superintendent for each of
these offices. The superintendents shall
post In front of their offices the words
"public employment office," ami shall re
ceive applications for labor ami make a
careful record of each. They may employ
clerical assistance und are prohibited
from receiving compensation or tee
from persons seeking employment. The
superintendents are required to make re
port every Tuesday to the commissioner
of all applicants and persons securing em
ployment through their office. A list of
applicants end the character of the em
ployment desired by them Is to be printed
weekly by the superintendents and mulled
(very Saturday to tho several superin
tendents to bi posted In their resoeetive
offices for public inspect'on. The superin
tendents shall ulso collect such labor Htu
ttstlcs, as the commission muy direct.
The commissioner Is to receive a salary
of $'.'.i) n year, the superintendents ll.'JaO
each and the clerks not more than VM a
month. The greatest objection to the bill
Is Its l ost.
The State ( o'.ltuc's (loo J I. lick.
The state treasurer hss prepared a state
ment showing that since Its establishment
the Pennsylvania State college has re
ceived, in nil, from the state and nation,
t.i!'J'-M:.'i. The total uppropiiuttons from
the slate foot up $7"7.1:W. The college re.
eelved from the sale of public lands, SI.M',
ii. This nuuiey was loaned to the state
at I, per cent, and makes a most excellent
endowment Investment. 1'nder the Chltc-d
St lies act of 1V. the college has gotten
SxTi.ium from t'mie Sam, und the Income
from this source will soon be $i",,(io per
vear. .Many legislator!! are nsklug what
the Institution has done In return for tills
liberal treatment.
t
The cw Circuit Court Hill.
Mcmliers of (he State llur association
And of the house Judiciary general com
mittee have agreed upon an appellate
court bill. It provides for five uppellute
Judges. They lire to li elected for ten
years' terms ond will nit lit Hiinisbnrg.
They will have jurisdiction In nil cases In
law, equity and the orphans' court. In
volving l, mm or under; eases of oyer and
terminer by right, except felonious homi
cide, which go to the supreme eourl ; np
penls from sentences or Indictment nn
special allowunce: and In quarter session
cases, except where the attorney general
personally appears. These ure the main
provisions.
Antagonism In tho Normal Schools,
The cost to the state of mitlntulnlng
the slate normals schools with kindled in
formation has been furnished by the
auditor general In compliance with a sen
ate resolution. Ills report shows the ap
propriations for buildings to have been
7'i7,.'Oi; for education of teachers, J.lll,
imo. and general appropriations, h-.ii.ijiiii.
The feeding n Hums; ninny legislators Is
that these schools cost more than they
urn worth: und It would not be surprising
if there were a big slashing in this year's
appropriations for them.
Another Coyla Kill Hearing.
There will be another hearing next
Wednesday on the Coylo bill to create the
office of commissioner of mining. The
opposition to this measure Is growing rap
Idly, and It Is strengthened by the fact
that the chief result of the bill's enact
ment would he to form a new and fat of
fice for some lubor chieftain.
Habiting to Armories.
Senator t'ppermun has Introduced a
bill conferring upon municipalities tho
right of eminent domain to condemn pub
lb! property for annorliV for tho National
guard. Public! property could bo used
for tho purpose, but often, through dona
tion, dedication, appropriation or other
wise. It Is tied up. The bill Is Intended to
obviate these difficulties.
The New lira of the Town Hall,
From the Phlladephla Times.
A bill bus passed the slate senate au
thorising the township supervisors or road
commissioners In each township of the
state ito cnu to be errcted a suitable
building In which to hold elections, store
road machinery and transact township
business. In short, this set. If It becomes
a law and Is generally enforced, will give
every township a public hall In which
elections and political and other publlo
gatherings can be held and all business
transacted which requires publicity or the
presence ot several officials or private
citizens. Pennsylvania has conspicuously
lacked the town meeting plan or local gov
ernment, which In other states has proved
the best source of an Intelligent citizen
ship. Tho school houses have generally
been utilized for elections and public
meetings, for neither of which are they
well adapted, even when centrally located.
Suitable halls designed for public purposes
would be a standing Invitation to the peo
ple of the townships to hold frequent con
ferences for the consideration of local af
fulra und tho discussion of questions of a
public nature. No mora Important stop
toward the creation of an Intelligent In
terest in local affairs could be tuken thun
by tlio erection of a public hall in every
township.
As to Snnduv Opening.
London Letter In the Sun.
Apropos of tho proposal to open New
York saloons on Bunduy afternoons,
there ure some significant points In the re
turns of convictions for drunkenness in
England lust year, bars In tills country be
ing open during certain haul's on Sunday
afternoon und evening. The number of
convictions were U2,T, of which 11,178
Were offenses committed between noon
und midnight on Holidays. In Wulus the
proportion of Holiday convictions wus still
Ivss, numbering 772 In a total of 111,317.
Compared with this return for Wales
there is significance In the fact that In the
border county of Monmouth, to which the
.Sunday closing act does nut apply, there
were) 11(1 convictions for drunkenness on
Sunday ugainst KliU un other days.
