Representative Spangler, of Cumber land county in his recent incendiary talk in the state house of representa tives, represented only his own eccen tricities. The great mujority of the good people of Pennsylvania are not, nt this writing, sitting up nights in agony lest the Catholic church or any other church shall suddenly make way with their liberties of thought, speech and action. With some minor exceptions, chiefly fanatics, the people of this com monwealth know that in all the essen tials of good und loyal citizenship, in devotion to country und In willingness to advance the general welfare, their fellow-citizens of Catholic ufflliatlons are in no sense different from Protest ants. Their religious views are their own, to which they have an Indefeasi ble right; but on questions of civic gov ernment they stand, and always will stand, upon a footing of perfect equal ity with all other good and loyal citi zens, of whatever faith or creed. We still hold that the general aim of the bill which 11 r. Spangler made the pretext of his explosion is a good one. We do not believe that any religious denomination ought to proselyte in the public Ichools, or that the effort to sur round those schools with proper safe guards can fairly be regarded as a thrust at -the Catholic religion any more than at the various branches of the Protestant faith. Thpre are certain constitutional points connected with the Smith anti-garb bill which seem to ub to render its enactment of doubtful utility. But there can, it would seem, be no Just objection to the broad prin ciple that the public schools should be kept scrupulously free from sectarian influences, whether those influences be exerted by Protestants, Catholics, Deists, Atheists, Agnostics or any other variety of believer or non-believer. The case of Spangler itself supplies a vivid Illustration of the mischievous effects of early training along the narrow line of sectarian illiberallsm. If he had been educated in a school where all religious faiths are put aside, as not belonging to the domain of the seculur school, the chances are that he would have been Ppared his recent paroxysm of needless anxiety for the safety of republican In stitutions. In the death of ex-Judge K. P. Strong, of Starrucca, Wayna county loses a dis tinguished) citizen whose career has been eventful, varied and honorable. The family to which he belonged has been among the most notable ones in our history. It will have general sym pathy in this, its latest, bereavement. Wise Words of Lincoln. In this period of class bickering and Industrial unrest, it Is both timely and profitable to recall the pregnant words of America's greatest executive, Abraham Lincoln," expressed in his message to the second session of the Thirty-seventh congress. He Bald: Monarchy itself Is sometimes hinted at a a possible refuge from the power of the people. In my present position I could scarcely be JuMlfU'd were I to omit rais ing a warning voice against this reproach of returning despotism. It Is not needed nor fitting her that a general argument hould b made In favor of public Institu tions, but there la one point with its con iieottona not so hackneyed as most oth ers to which I ask a brief attention. It Is the effort to place capital on an equal footing with, If not above, labor in the structure of the government. It Is as sumed that labor la available only in con nection with capital, that nobody labors unless somebody else owning capital some how by the uss of it induces him to la bor. Labor Is prior to and Inde pendent of capital. Capital Is only the fruit of labor and could never have ex isted If labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital and deserves much the higher consideration. No men living are more worthy to be trusted than those who toll up from pov erty) none less Inclined to take or touch aught which they have not honestly earned. Let them beware of surrendering a political power which they already pos sess and which, if surrendered, will surely he used to close the door of advancement against such as they, and to tlx new dis LABEL) abilities and burdens upon them till all of liberty shall be lost. The strength of labor lies In its op portunities for advancement. The faithful employe of today may in this country easily become the employer of tomorrow. There Is no set of laws which can touch one class without touching the other class. Law-making for the beneilt of labor is fundament ally wrong, just as much so as Is law making for the beneilt of capital. The kind of law-making which Americans need to cherish is the making of wise laws for tho whole body of the Amerl cun people, without regard to class, race, sex or previous condition of servi tude. There Is entirely too much class legislation, and the more of it there shall be, the farther will wholesome prosperity recede from those who self ishly struggle to pursue It. It would be Interesting to know what effect a good, stltl lire would have upon the new kindling wood buildings which are being constructed with impunity in the center of the business district of Soranton. This city sudly needs u re vision of Its building ordinances. Mr. Wlllard's Candidacy. With vharacteristlc frunkness, E. N. Willard, esq., of this city, hus an nounced his cundlducy for the position of judge of the Superior court of up peals, an appointment which will prob ably soon be within the gift of Gover nor Hastings. As to his fitness for Judiciary honors, it would be superflu ous to speak, if these words reached no other eyes than those of residents of Lackawanna county, by the bur of which he is recognized us one of the. most successful and accomplished at torneys und practical men-of-alYalrs in this portion of the commonwealth. The candidacy of Mr. Willard, how ever, appeals to the whole state, since if successful It would place upon the bench of the proposed new court one of the most distinguished students und practitioners of law in Pennsylvania; a man thoroughly familiar with the Intri cate details of mining litigation, which would undoubtedly form a large pro portion of the Superior court's busi ness; and finally, a citizen of influence who, although often Importuned to do so by party associates, has never be fore sought public office. Of Mr. Wll lard's services as a stanch and liberal Republican It will be unnecessary to speak further than to bear public testi mony to his sterling party loyalty and to the unvarying generosity with which he has repeatedly answered the calls of his party upon his time and Influence. We have every reason to believe that Mr. Willard will not onJy be the unani mous choice of the bench and bar of his home county, but that his candidacy will receive the cordial Indorsement of the bench and bar of every adjoining county partly In compliment to Mr. Wlllard's enviable personal and profes sional standing; and partly, also, In recognition of the rightfulness of the claim of the chief city in the anthracite region for representation on the bench of a tribunal to which It contributes a commanding percentage of litigation. If in response to this influential indorse ment Governor Hastings should select Mr. Willard as one of the four Republi can Judges .of the coming Superior court, we believe that every prediction as to the Judiciousness of such a choice would be abundantly realized. The pressing needs of liquid refresh ment are Illustrated anew In the fact that probably not more than one out of five "hotels" applying for license In Lackawanna county could furnish uny thlng more substantial than free lunch soup if required to entertain the dear travelling public. Live and Let Live. There were some statements In the recent annual address of President Roberts to the stockholders of the Pennsylvania Railroad company, which deserve to receive thoughtful attention. After speaking ut length upon the in fluence of tho recent depression in busi ness upon railway earnings, he con tinued: Tho return that your property makes to its shareholders Is Intiiiltcsliniil us com pared with the return It inukes to the great country which It traverses. It has always been a thoufjht In my mind that .the larger railways, ut ileust, of 'Iho coun try owe largely to the public und to tna states which gav them birth, and thu management of tho Pennsylvania Hall road company has always been mindful of that. I tuke It that tho policy which has been pursued by this company from Its first Inception, now forty-eight years, has brought with It the prosiwrity which you now enjoy; and when the manage ment of your company departs from that rule and looks more to a return to Its In dividual shareholders than it does to the Interests of the community which It is railed upon to serve, from the moment It turns Its mind in that direction It will bp In u struggle with those communities. Hut a continued effort to serve them, ns we believe we have, will always be met, In my Judgment, at least, with a generous return from thoso communities sooner or later, und give to you that measure of prosperity which you are entitled to re ceive. It fairly deserves to be said for the Pennsylvania Railroad company thut In the main It has lived up to these broad gauged principles. They are the only principles tho consistent observance of which can save Individual or corporate ownership of railways from absorption by the state. The "publlc-be-d d" platform of the late Mr. Vanderbllt: or the no-less dangerous speculative policy of the senior Gould, In which the only factor considered was how to strength en or weaken railway securities In nc acordance with the requirements of suc cessful gambling, have borne their legitimate fruit In a public antipathy to railway corporations, as absurd In logic as ills natural In fact. "Live and let live," Is a good rule to follow, whatever one's Una of business. At Norrlstown, the other day, a bank president ,who had defrauded depos itors out of $112,000 was sentenced to one year In the penltentary. At the same time and in the same court, a negro who stole ten dollars' worth of chickens was sentenced to four years. And yet many persons wonder why the snarl of Anarchy Is occasionally heard In this land of freedom and equality. When Walter Damrosch began his career as a musician lu New York city, some' people scouted him for a beardless boy, Tho beardless boy kept ever lastingly at It, however, In spite of jeers and sneers; and today the Dam rosch season of German opera Is the one unequivocal artistic and financial success of all Gotham's musical enter tainments, whllo the aforesaid Walter Is In the front row on Easy street. His success hus been well and worthily won. It is deserved, and tho occurrence points a useful moral to those who care for morals. The ordinance of Counellmun Manloy to require the Juylng of temporary floors on high buildings during the pro gress of their construction alms to pre vent the recurrence of such accidents us that which recently befell rigger James Joidutit on the iew Jermyn hotel. It uppeurs to bo no more than u reasonable precaution, which might well be taken without compulsion from councils. Now that tho licensed liquor dealers of Plttstun city have to pay $:.00 a piece for the privilege of cuiitllHilnir In busi ness, they ought to Insist that the state which exacts this contribution tuke some meuHUies toward shutting up the two or three 'hundred "speak tunics" in und near Plttston. A $500-llcenie ought to be what it purports to be, a protected monopoly. Shickshinny is the latent locality af fected by the new county fever. Shlek slilnney wutits to be surrounded by u slice of Luzerne county and called Grow county. Unless the sugeB of old Luzerne contrive Some plan to check this stampede our mother county Is In danger of being reduced to court house park and Sam Lloyd's cast iron deer. The preferences expressed at Harris burg for the Hastings presidential boom no doubt fairly reflect the feeling of the party in Pennsylvania. A can didate who has behind him tho largest popular Indorsement ever accorded to a Republican at a state election Is very apt to be popular In connection with presidential honors. Editor Palm, of Meadville, again turns the laugh on the Pennsylvania Dairyman's association by proving most emphatically thut the sample paokSgcs of "oleo" whlchl won big prizes in a butter show were genuine "oleo," and not cow's butter. The dairy monopolists once more have the floor. Chairman Stranahan's willingness to acknowledge when he has had enough is a trait which his party could Imitate with profit. It Is better to have a surplus of good Judicial timber than a deficit. LEGISLATIVE TOPICS. Harrlsbtirg, March 13. Of tho Republi cans In the legislature a poll which is published in the Telegraph shows the fol lowing preferences for president to suc ceed President Cleveland: Hastings .-. H9 McKlnley L'O Reed 1 Harrison 7 Allison 2 guay 1 Cameron 1 Sherman 1 Depew 1 Many senators and members declined to be quoted; but Governor Huntings Is ap parently a favorite as 11 rt choice. Dem ocrats In the house voted fur each other as a rule und seemed at a loss to suggest any Democrat of national prominence who could unite their demoralized parly In a presidential cumpalgn. There were votes for Vice President Stevenson, Postmaster General Wilson und ex-Governor Paul son. An Interesting Insurance lllll. A bill of considerable Interest to Insur ance men and policy-holders Is pending in the house. It provides that no policy of llfo or endowment Insurance Issued ly any company Incorporated, organized or doing business within this common wialth shall become forfeited or void for non payment of premiums ufter two full un nuiil premiums shall have been paid, but such policy shall bo binding on the com pany for an amount of pa.ld-up Insurance which the then net value of the pulley, less any Indebtedness of the insured lo the company und a surrender c harge, will purchase us a net single premium for life or endowment Insurance, in thu body ut all policies Issued hereafter there shall ba placed the guaranteed cash und paid up value of 'the policy at each anniver sary, If thi policy Is for a less period than twenty yeurs. If a life pulley or for iiioim than twenty years the company shall place In the body of the policy the values of the name fur a period of not less than twenty yeurs. This act shall bo binding on all companies to which It applies, any condition In the policy to the contrary notwithstanding, and uny waiver by the Insured shall bo void. l or (in mo Protection. Representative Cotton, of Allegheny, has Introduced a. sweeping measure for the protection of name. It provides that after the passugc or this act It shall be un lawful to kill, trap, sell, trade or barter, or expose for sale any wild gume. or birds, either dead or alive, known under the laws of the state as game, except a li cense shu.ll have previously beun obtained. Tho license shall be Issued during the months of June and July by tho county treasurer for one yeur and shall only be used In the county In which it Is Is sued during the months of October, No vember and December. Tho licenses aro divided Into three classes, which are as follows: Wholesale, I'illu; retailers, huck sters and peddlors, VM, and those en gaged lu hunting game for a living, or employing others to hunt, shall pay a li cense of Slot). The violation of this act Is punlHhablo with a fine of $100, or Impris onment of six months. An Accident Insurance lllll. Representative West, of Ilerks, pro poses to protect employes from being compelled to duke out accident policies of Insurance. It provides that It shall lie unlawful for any corporation, firm, per son or persons doing business In this state to compel any of Its employes to take out policies of Insurance In any accident, casualty or liability oompuny. In which they are Interested, and In which tho cost of the policy Is to be deducted from the wages of the employes so Insured. It Is punishable by fine. Defining a Polltlclun, According to Dr. Parkhurst. "The professional polltlclun Is the peo ple's natural eAemy. He takes a technlcul satisfaction In) manipulating the popular Interest wlthodt having any sensitive ap- preciatton of the significance for good or evil which suh Interest involves. He is like a man playing at chess; he enjoys handling the pieces without those pieces being representative to him of any other value than what attaches to them as gaming Implements. It is not Intended by any means to say that every man who officially concern: himself with these mat ters is animated by tho spirit we have Just specified. Sweeping vituperation would be unwarranted und In excessively bail tasto. Still, the professional politician, understood in the sense Just Indicated, In the people's enemy. His watchword is diplomacy rather than principle. He Is made dizzy by traveling a straight line. Ho values a situation according to the number and variety of interesting com binations Into which it can bo developed, und has no interest lu munlcipul reform for tho reason thut the farther it Is car ried the more It will contract the area of Ills own versatility." W ns a Wise Action. From the Hazleton Standard. The passing of the Parr educatlonui bill will be the means of educating many of tho young men, who at present ure com pelled to enter the mini s ut an early uge. There must be no mistaking the meaning of this measure. ' It will give to every boy und girl In this glorious country some thing that has been denied them for years an education und place them on un equal touting with those whom fortune has endowed with a plentiful supply of weultli. - Ono Point of Difference.
