The deputy collector of internal rev enue for this sub-district is enjoying a degree of prominence at this time prob ably out of proportion to his conse quence among the nations. Time for a Republican Revival Among the suggestions in the annual report of President E. P. Kingsbury, of the Central Republican club, read last evening, was one that. In view of the recent change in the club by-laws ad mining good Republicans, resident within the county. It ought to be pos sible very largely to Increase the club membership, now numbering 157. The advantages of such membership require no explanation. As an aid to efficient, intelligent and Influential civic service within party lines, the' Republican club is today recognized as of Indispensable importance and merit: and there Is no valid reason why the membership of the Central club should not widen until It shall Include a magnificent standing army of stalwart Republicans repre eentlng every township in the county. It is desirable that this extension of membership should not be long delayed It is tfue that the year 1S95 is not. In itself, one of exciting magnitude, pollt ically; but as less than fifteen months separate us from a national conven tion, the Importance of perfecting the party organization in anticipation o that campaign will be evident to every Republican who takes Interest In his party's and, through It, his country welfare. The location, of the Central club in an elegant and commodious home; dts representative present mem ter9hlp and the praiseworthy part It has taken In past campaigns combine to recommend It to the favor of all earnest Republicans, who can do no better service for pure polities and clean government than by enrollini themselves In Its energetic ranks. The accession of Colonel E. H. Rippli to the presidency, in pluce of Mr. Kings bury, who declined a re-election; sup lamented by the selection of E. N "Wlllard, esq., as treasurer, and the con Unuance of the efficient secretary Alderman-elect W. S. Millar, Insures the club's executive management no diminution of zeal or lessening of lntc llgent progress. The next few months reflecting as they ore reasonably cer tain to, the Invigorating Influences of Republican restoration In congress and the near prospect of Republican restor atlon In all branches of the nation government should, therefore, witness an appreciable Increase in both the club's numerical strength and also public usefulness. its It Is true that the per capita consump tlon of alcoholic liquors Is Increasing this country, but It is not true that temperance is increasing. In place strong whisky, the people are drlnkl mild beer, with diminishing evil results Friends of temperance have no new reasons to feel discouraged concern nlng their work. A Truce to Cheese-paring. The Joint frstlmatescommlttee last evening am something by. way .of cor resting its blunder of last Friday in re latlon to the Nay Aug park approprla tlon but not much. It aub-dlvlded the labor item so as to devote $1,G00 to the execution of plans of park Improve- nent, and specified that the other $500, With $150 additional, should be expend ed for landscape engineering. For this sensible suggestion the public Is Indebt ed to Select Councilman Williams, of the Fifth ward, who seems to have been the first member of the committee to recognize the absurdity of trying to execute plans before there were any lans to execute, , -But the' fundamental absurdity still remains of detailing only one policeman to patrol a section of country for which a force of ten men, mounted, would be none too large. Councils might supply this lone policeman with a bicycle or Held glass; or It might put him In tall tower, with extended lariats for use la capturing evil-doers at long range, But unless It discovers some such plan of spreading flve-feet-ten of'bluecoat over nearly a square-mile of park ter ritory, It will reduce the whole govern ment of 'the park to the dimensions of burlesque. The sapient gentlemen of the estimates committee, If It Is not too lute, should be Impressed by their con stituents with the fact that the people were not Jesting when they declared, by an overwhelming vote, In favor of Nay Aug park. They should awaken to the fact that the public was very much In earnest. The experiment of testing college su premacy by means of public debates rather than by brutal encounters at foot ball appears to be growing In favor n this country. It la time, among our universities, that brain had a chance agulnst brawn. Crush It Out. There is a 'tendency these days to overestimate the membership and over ate the Importance of the secret, pro- scrlptlve society known as the Ameri can Protective Association. This Is well Illustrated in Michigan, where the ex-grand lecturer of the order, Walter Sims, has recently confessed that In stead of Including 100.000 persons within Its ranks In that state, us was generally upposed, the membership never num bered more than 5,000, must of whom are now sick of their folly and anxious to drop out. We have heard" men say that the American Protective Association mem- ershlp in Pennsylvania Is us large ns 00,000, but we would feci confident In wagering that It never approximated to one-tenth that sum. At a recent effort to locaite the brunch In this city we have, been Informed that not enough persons attended to fill out a valid barter, and the formation of the pro posed lodge had consequently to bu abandoned. It is reusonable to believe that a similar disproportion between smoke and fire exists in many other localities where this wrong-principled Institution is accustomed to wield pollt loal power under false pretences. Hut whether Its membership in Penn sylvania be 5,000. 50,000 or 5,000,000, the fact Is none the less clear that the methods of the order are odious and re pulslve; that Its manner of attracting attention is vicious and hurtful, and that the only sure consequences of its continued propugunda are strife unions the Ignorant or excitable, and regretful disapproval from conservative defenders of law, order und true religion. The duty of every rational citizen Is to lend the whole weight of his influence to the crushing out of this viperous conception of patriotic duty. The new county fever in the mother county appears to be rapidly becoming epidemic. The anxiety of Luzerne in habitants to break away from Wilkes- Barre domination Is, however, perhaps only natural. An Opportunity of a Lifetime. Sheriff demons Is to be congratulated for making a determined and success ful effort to prevent the occurrence within Lackawanna county of the re cent prize-fight between Courtright and Carroll. The fact that the principals In that illegality found no such inter ruption upon Luzerne county territory affords a suggestive contrast. It is probably true that Luzerne coun ty is today the worst-governed county In the United States. We recall the name if no other county equalling it v. Ith regard to the number of murder ers unpunished wlth.n Its borders, the iiumner of violations of the liquor law that rever get Into court, and the en- cou.afc'ement offered In It to mined laneous crimes. If one had taken a slice out of Call'o, t.ia during vigilante duys and transplanted It Into north eastern Pennsylvania, the result would not liavf been so Be I'jus as Is the pres ent condition of law enforcement in the county ot Luzerne. For vigilante Jus tlce, although Irregular, was swift. It smote and spared not. It nowhere pre sented the spectacle of comparative In difference to rampant crime or else of chronic Inability to cope with it. This Indifference In the mother coun ty Is not systemic. It Is super ficial. Once punctured, the better Instincts of the people will bi come alert nnd motive. If, therefore the new corps of county oftlclnls whom the people last November Installed In ofilce in Luzerne county wish to win renown In the accomplishment of ur gently-needed reforms, they have only to Btart the good work going and call upon public sentiment to do the rest After every expense has been met there remains In the treasury of the Owllym Owent Monument association a total of almost (900, which will be ap piled to the purchase and erection, In Hollenback cemetery, of a suitable commemorative shaft. It is announced by the committee In charge that this monument will be In readiness for un veiling July 4 next, and It Is deslrei to make that .occasion notable In the Wyoming valley. If possible, eminent singers will be secured, together with great choruses, and both will sing the works ot the dead miner-genius In whose memory the monument will havi been reared. The appropriateness n this suggestion Is self-apparent. We trust that the purpose may succeed to the fullest extent of Its deserving. . Hands Oft the Public Schools, Replying to our question if It would objeot to the keeping of sectarianism out ot the publlo schools, the Phlladel phla Record says: "If the teachers at Oallltzln, dressed as nuns,' had been Quakers, dressed as Quakeresses, or had worn any other decent or distinctive garb to denote their belief or calling, there would have been no fuss about it, The way to keep sectarianism out of th schools, if that be the aim of legislation, is to keep it out of the school books and out of the teachers. The Record ob jects to all religious Intolerance, what ever form It may assume, whether It be veled at men's coats or consciences." We also objeot most emphatically to religious Intolerance, whatever form it may assume. But we do not call Intol erant the constitution of Pennsylvania, hich expressly forbids the recognition, by law, of any religious establishments or modes of worship; nor do we believe that a Quaker or a Shaker or a Pedo lluptist or any other Protestant sect, f whatever variation, any more than a Catholic, Jewish, Infidel or agnostic ganlzation, has a right, within the meaning of the constitution, to ulitlze the strong influences of the publlo schools, In whose support cltl'.cns of all faith are taxed, for the purpose, avowed or Intentional, of sectarian proselyting. What Is luw for one seat should be law for all; and to every one the stute should say: "Hands off the public schools.'' It were well, perhaps had this ques- on not been raised. The discussion of unless governed by charity and per- feot fulruess, Is upt to excite bitterness through the misapprehensions to which gives birth. But now that It has been brought Into publlo prominence, we take occasion to declure our belief that the Amerleun people, whatever their In dividual modes of worship, will not will ingly see their public school system tll- erted by any seot or faith to the pur uses of denominational proselyting. Mr. Piatt does not expire with facility or grace; but the fuct Is nevertheless patent that ho Is gradually approach ing a political funeral, at which he will supply the corpse. As a shooter of ducks and things. Orover Cleveland Is a tolerubly fulr success. THE CURRENCY PROBLEM. 11 Perkins Illustrates It by .Meuns of Little Dialogue. "On the Pennsylvania, truln this morn ing," said Kll Perkins to a Pittsburg Uls pateh man 'the other day, "were Senator Stewart, the gleut free silver senator rom Nevada, una his little son Willie. 1 hud a tulk with Willie," continued :il. "about silver. When I asked him what his father, the senator, wuuted Wil lie said: I don't know, I never could under stand father's Hilver doctrine. ' "1 will tell you what your father meuns." said, "but reully your father' ought to explain It to you. Your father wuuts free ulnatfe. ' 'What's free coinage?' asked Willie. 'Well the free coinage men want our mints to coin sliver us big us our dol lar and put gold under It." 'What Is the real commercial value of our silver dollar now?" aalted Willie. Why JUHt 47 cents. The American, Japanese, Chinese and nil the dollars of he ,'J0V,U0O.itoil people who live III South America, Asia und Africa are worth 47 cents too. "And father wants the I'nlted States to double tho value of ull the uncoined silver in the world?' asked Willie in amazement. "Do you suy my father wants to tlx it so a .Mexican or a Chinese an bring 47 cents worth of silver to our mint and we must coin it and guarantee t worth a dollar In gold? "Simply that, Willie." " 'I don't believe It,' said Willie. My father wouldn't be sueh a fool. If we did his v.e would double the wealth of l.!uu 000,000 people und ruin ourselves In a month. e ve got all we ran do to put gold under the dollars that we have coined for our own use.' " That's Just so, Willie," I said. "Tho Mexicans, with your futher's free coinage, would bring their 47-rent dollar to our mint and get Mo-cent dollars." 'I see, said Willie, 'and, by and by, when they reully wanted gold for it our ountry would be bankrupted. I wonder why my father can't see that:' " I will tell you, Willie," I said, "It Is because your father Is a politician. Free coinage would double the wealth of all the silver miners in Nevada." 'Do other civilized nations want free coinage?' " asked Willie. "Oh, no. Kuch one, like Kngland, France nnd Russia, has put gold ut the rato of 10 to 1 under their coined silver. but they let commercial sliver stand where It Is. Now, If they have another monetary convention in Europe, whut will they do, Willie?" 'Why they would have to do Just what they did before. Kach of the civilized na tions would have to stuml by Its own sli verthat is, make It good ns gold but they wood have to let the commercial sil ver In our mines ami the deposed 47-cent dollars In the hands of l.aw.ino.txio half civ ilized poples take cure of Itself. All the civ ilized nations togc-ther couldn't put gold iimler the world's silver and what a silly thing for us 7.1,00iMnl Americans to try to do It! The little tall can't wug the dog.' " Just then," said Kll, "the porter told Willie that his pa wanted to Interview him In the smoker. I haven t seen Willie since." A tJooJ Una on Walker.

In estimating the rhuractcr and value of the unlumented I.I lid congress one might not unfittingly employ the language used by "Hut Loviugwood" In his eulogy of "Cuptlng Hlmon Hiikkh, of the Huggs vllle Uyards:" "lie hud led lliiior, an' lie drunk It; he had horses, un' ho ilruv' 'em; ho hud dogs, an' he fit 'em.
