There 19 no sadder thins than the
speotacle of a groat personage In the
unconscious throes of decline.
Re-elect Mr. Torrey.
It Is a well-established rule In the suc
cessful conduct of private business en
terprises that the employe who has been
faithful and efficient In a position of
trust will not be discharged without
cause or reason, but will rather be In
vested with new proofs of his employ
er's esteem and consideration. This Is
business.
The management of a city Is also
business a business conducted In the
behalf of a large number of contribut
ing partners, who, as profits, want good
government. If, therefore, one official
In that management displays, under
trying circumstances, uncommon fit
ness for his place, and an opportunity
arises for complimenting him by means
of a cordial re-election, Is It unfair for
us to expect that this opportunity will
be Improved?
We have already printed the record
of James II. Torrey as city solicitor.
The record Is a clean one and a good
one. It exhibits many evidences of
careful and honest work. It shows him
to be an eminently safe and trust
worthy legal councillor for tho city an
official who has relied upon results
achieved to. speak his eulogy. Not to
re-elect Mr. Torrey would be both un
grateful to him and unfortunate for the
city.
If "some good western man" will put
In an Appearance about fourteen
months from date, we have good
authority for saying he will receive
something worth having;.
Calling a Halt.
It Is probably Jusi as well that the
. legislature should, even at a late day,
have set the example of refusing to
raise salaries Indiscriminately. It has
drawn the line at the superintendent
of public printing, by declining to ad
vance his pay from $2,000 to $.1,000 per
annum, and while we do not know
about the duties of this particular office
under the proposed readjustment, yet
if Governor Hastings shall find a lack
of candidates for the position at $2,000
a year, it will be doubtless the first
time since the organization of the com
monwealth that a $2,000 office will have
gone begging.
At a time when the revenues of the
(state and of Its citizens are low beyond
T'Vent precedent, and when the legiti
mate demands of Mate Institutions ag
gregate more than ever before In time
of peace, the house of representatives
is to be commended for going slow In
the matter of voting unearned public
funds to Individuals out of personal
compliment. Such gratuities ought to
be the last things thought of, end not
the first and chief ones.
A good way for the superintendent
of printing to get his salary raised
would be to accept the Job at $2,000 a
year which is more by several dollars
than the average professional man Is
earning these days weather along for
n time as best he may, giving the com
monwealth a materially Improved ser
vice; and then, when the clouds have
rolled by, show by facts and figures
that not only la he worth more, but
that It would be good business economy
on the state's part to give him more.
That kind of policy, ten to one, would
knock the persimmon.
Our Salt Lake namesake, comment
ing upon the Noyes-Dana libel suit,
truthfully observes that "Washington
Is where mobt of the scamps that need
Iubllo exposure are at some time to be
found. The extension of the law of
libel to the point that any editor who
offends them can be forced thero for
trial, would mean the most serious blow
' to tho liberty of the press that was
ever delivered; It would mean that the
press would be fettered In Its most use
ful and necessary work, and would give
rascals in the District of Columbia a
ready revenge upon ' any newspaper
that might expose them, no matter, ho w
truly nor in what good faith. A prin
ciple that would permit such an enor
mously disadvantageous blow as this
at the public interests and newspaper
rights can hardly be engrafted upon
the Jurisprudence of this country." Mr,
Xoyes ought to do his fighting man
fashion if he hopes to retain the sym
pathy of his craft.
The trouble probably Is that Ger
many's present relchstag Is staggering
under a surplus of leaders.
Gold is the money of the few; silver,
the money of the many. If the few
should prevail, the many would suffer.
If the many should prevail, the few
would Buffer. Both must yield. Wo
shall have honest bimetallism.
There Is this much to be said In
favor of Allison of Iowa. He doesn't
appear to be worrying.
The American Protective Association.
We recently promised to give atten
tion to the declaration of principles of
the American Protective association.
These "principles" number thirteen.
Tho first Is "loyalty to true American
Ism, which knows neither birthplace,
race, creed nor party" yet alms a pre
scriptive blow at one creed, cind that
the most numerously worshipped creed
on this continent. The second enjoins
political activity along clvlo rather
than partisan lines. The eighth, ninth,
tenth, eleventh, twelfth nnd thirteenth
relate chiefly to immigration and nat
uralization and embody generally ac
cepted Ideas, as to which there Is no
room for discussion. Those principles,
on the contrary, wherein He seeds of
discord ore these:
Third Subjection to and support of any
ecclesiastical power not created and ron
trolltd by American citizens, and which
claims equal, If not greater, sovereignty
than the government of the United States
of Amerlea, Is Irreconcilable with Amer
ican citizenship. We are therefore
opposed to the holding of offices in na
tional, state or municipal government
by any subject or supporter of such ee
cleslastieuJ power.
Fourth We uphold the constitution of
the V'nlted States of Amerlea, and no
portion of it more than its guaranty of re
ligious liberty, but we hold this religious
liberty to be guaranteed to the Individual,
anil not to mean that under Its protec
tion any un-Anieriean ecclesiastical power
can claim absolute control over the edu
cation of children growing up under the
Stars ami Stripes.
Fifth We consider the non-sectarian
free public school the bulwark of Ameri
can Institution.-!, the best place for this
education of American children. To keep
them such we protest against the em
ployment of the subjects of any tin-American
ecclesiastical power ns officers or
teachers of our public schools.
Sixth We condemn the support out of
the public treasury by direct appropria
tion, or by contract, of uny sectarian
school, reformatory, or other Institution
not owned and controlled by public au
thority. Seventh Believing that exemption from
taxation is equal to a grant of public
funds, we demand that no real or personal
property be exempt from taxation the titlo
to which is not vested In the national or
state governments or In any of their sub
divisions. It Is a sufficient answer to the first
of these five declarations that no
"ecclesiastical power" on this continent
does claim either equal or greater sov
ereignty from Its membership than does
the government of the United States,
hence the present needlcssness of rais
ing a passion-provoking hue-and-cry.
A3 to the second, while we regard with
unbounded favor the free publlo
schools, it must not be forgotten that
the right of the parent to choose his
school Is as sacred as Is his right to
choose hla church. In relation to th3
next declaration, we will go a step fur
ther than It, and protest against the
employment of any sectarian, "un
American" or otherwise, as a proselytor
In the public school room. The sixth
declaration Is already In force In Penn
sylvania, and the seventh, while In our
opinion wise, is so generally opposed
as to be far from realization.
But It Is not in these curiously mixed
and Ill-assorted principles that we find
our greatest condemnation for the
American Protective association. We
find It, instead, in the impertinent and
Insulting notion that American patriot
ism is something which needs to bo
kept alive by the taking of oaths, by
secret assemblage and by mysterious
signs and symbols. American patriot
Ism of the genuine sort, far from hiding
In dark corners, openly courts the clear
est light; and rises to its noblest
achievements In the full view of real
emergency. To Invent it with secrecy
is to stifle its spirit and clownishly per
vert Its grandest meanings.
The meaning of Governor Morton's
pointed message to tho New York
legislature Is that he thinks It has
wasted time enough in pausing to pay
Its respects to the memory of the lute
Thomas C. Piatt.
It bodes no good for New York Re
publicanism that the people of New
York city have to get up mass meet
ings of protest In order to spur the Al
bany It-KlBlature onward to Its duty.
Probably the best revenge that Minis
ter Thurston could have would be to
wait until 1897 and see how quickly tho
people will undo Grover's and Gresh
nm's bungling work.
There Is yet sufficient time for the
present Harrlsburg assembly to make
suitable modification of the Baker bal
lot law; and If It be wise, it will do this.
Is the esteemed Philadelphia Record
sure that the only "honest money" mpn
are the men who want to hold the
country to an Insufficient gold basis?
While there Is nothing dishonorable
in wanting to be president, most per
sons prefer to have their favorites ap
pear unconcerned.
The proposition of Senator Penrose
that passenger railway examining
boards be created In flrBt-class cities,
to Inspect the fitness of street car con
ductors and motormcn, if It be worth
anything ought to be made applicable
to all cities.. How would It do to re.
quire the establishment, in cities, of
sqhdols for the training of street car
employes, with special courses of In
struction for Traction officials charged
with the duty of buying common coun
cllmen? Another anti-Quay combination has
just been formed which leaves our dis
tinguished Junior senator far and high
"outside the breastworks." Superflu
ous to add, it exists on paper.
There are a number of people In this
great commonwealth who would wel
come any disposition of the Quay
county, bill if only to give something
else a chance.
It Is worth bearing in mind, as we go
along, that no Republican national
convention has yet dared to turn its
back to bimetallism.
If Superintendent Byrnes Is contin
ued in office "for a purpose," it Is to be
hoped that that purpose will soon be
achieved.
The killing at Harrlsburg of the
Moore civil service bill Is not a fact to
which Pennsylvania will point with
pride.
The alleged remark of Mrs. Reed that
her husband would not accept tho
presidency may be safely consigned to
doubt.
Even Mr. Fassett has pronounced Mr.
Piatt's influcnco "destructive." This
clearly Isn't Mr. Piatt's year.
THE PROPOSED NEW COURT.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Of the several schemes brought forward
at the present session of the legislature to
relieve tho pressure of business upon the
supreme court of tho state that for the
creation of an appellate court appears
to have developed the greater popularity
and support. It has, In fact, practically
taken the place of the other measures,
and Is now being urged forward in a
way that will doubtless make It successful.
The senate bill to establish this inter
mediate bench gives It the namo of supe
rior court, but the designation of appel
late court is rather more appropriate
for the purpose, unit It is altogether prob
able that that Is the name which will ul
timately be given it. It has received tho
larger share of favor. Another feature of
tho measure likely to be changed is that
tlxlng the number of judges. Five wero
originally provided for, and It Is now pro
posed that the number shall be seven.
Thero are several .very convincing reasons
for this, a leading olio being the fact that
the new court will have quite as much, If
not a little more, business on its hands
than the supreme court. A calculation
running back for a year or thereabouts
shows that the division would have been
about equal in thut time had the proposed
new court been in existence. For this rea
son, and for the dignity and consequence
of tho new court, it la proposed that tho
number of lis judges shall be the same
as that of tho supreme court.
Now that this matter has been got In Its
present encouraging shape, and seems to
bo fairly satisfactory to all concerned,
thero should be no question about the
success of the measure and no unusual
delay In it. No more necessary legisla
tion has been proposed at the present ses
sion. For a number of years the su
preme court has been disposing of cases at
tho rato of Seo or 9uo a year. It has been
only by the most persistent effort that the
work has been kept along at all, and the
judges themselves realize that, doing It
under pressure and in necessary haste to
prevent burdensome and injurious de
lays, It has not always been done with nil
tho care that should eharaoterize It. It is
not necessarily a reflection upon the abil
ity of the supremo court to say, what Is
well understood, that the opinions of this
court aro not rated as high as they were
some years ago. It has been believed that
having too much to do Is largely, if not
altogether, responsible for this.
It Is obvious, of course, that tho su
premo court could not continue to work
indefinitely under the pressure put upon
It by the hundreds of eases which It has
been compelled to hnndlo every year. If
It does not wish to do both Itself and the
public which It serves a great wrong,, it
will have to abandon such an effort sooner
or later; and should the present proposi
tion to secure relief prove a failure no one
would have any reason for surprise it the
supreme court abandon all further at
tempts to keep up with the business
brought before it In favor of more thor
ough nnd satisfactory work. If such
should be tho result and hardly any other
result could be expected it would mean
such a gorge of business In the court as
would compel litigants to wait many
years nnd suffer much Injustice In some
Instances beforo they could get Judgment.
There Is but one side to this question, nnd
umong Intelligent people familiar with
the facts there Is but one opinion. All
know !ho urgent need of doing something
to relieve tho higher court, and after a
full consideration of the matter in lis ev
ery phase thero seems no better way than
by tho creation of an Intermediate tri
bunal. Slightly tiffin Its Dates.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Tho boomers of the movement for n
new county to be created out of parts of
Wayne. Susquehanna and Lackawanna,
with the county seat at Carbondule, seem
to bo slinky In their relations to American
history. Tho C'nrbotidale Anthracite In

proposed county may be culled ".Mere

United States, from 1781 to 1801, nnd who

Hastings 1st Not Worrying.
Harrlsburg Special to tho Inquirer.
Thero has been considerable gossip re
garding tho polUlenl ambitions of the gov
ernor, but he Is apparently less concerned
about tho presidency or a sent In tho
I'nlted States senate ithnn tho gentlemen
who are so Industriously planning his fu
ture political movements. Governor
llaollngn has a laudnblo ambition to give
tho people a good administration us gov
ernor, and doesn't propose to enter at
once upon a campaign for anything high
er. He Is friendly, too, with Senators
quay nnd Cameron, nnd Isn't engaged In
building up a machine of his own.
l et l.ove Do t'neonfiucd.
From the New York Hun.
Tho law proposed for Illinois to tax
bachelors lietween 32 .sjid 05, who cannot
prove that they have proposed unsuccess
fully to three separato women, Is as wrong
hs wrong can be. If either division of tho
unmarried is to he taxed, it should be tho
women. Say that euch woman refuses
the marriage offors of five men, not
a very unreasonable supposition; It fol
lows that taxation to promote marriage
should be first laid upon women, The
clause requiring bnchclora to show throe
eweethearts Is a gross outrage on senti
ment. Love, to be supreme, or of the sort
to be consistently advocated, can come
but once. It can be bestowed by a man
upon but one woman, and by woman can
be left for only one man. We are down on
this Illinois policy of cultivating second
rate grades of affection, and of trying to
turn ithe divine light whloh should shine
straight from heaven, Into every unworthy
and unnatural cranny, Vp to date, love
has made the world go around. Let it roll
on the old track.
