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 double column head lines declares that tho proposed county may be culled ".Mere dith," niter tho secretary of the treasury of 1819, whose grave Is near by. The sec retary of tho treasury of 1S40 wnn William M. .Meredith, who lived utid died In Phila delphia. Tho only Meredith of national reputation buried in northeastern Penn sylvania was Samuel Meredith, who was born in Philadelphia, a brigadier general during tho Revolutionary War, who guvo 10,000 In sliver to carry on the war nnd who become tho first treasurer of tho United States, from 1781 to 1801, nnd who advanced $110,000 to the new government, which he never got back. No doubt this Is tho Meredith utter whom It is suggested the proposed county should be named, 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. TOLD BY THE STARS. Daily Uoroscops Drawn by Ajucchus, The Trlhnno Astrologer, Astrolabe cast for 2.S0 a. m. for Thursday, March 28, 1893. No time should be lost in encouraging the cigarette habit in a male child born this day. He will acquire the practice anyhow, but by teaching him while young he will dlo sooner and shrewd parentB will thus save tho cost of several years' board and clothing. The woman to whom this day serves as a birthday anniversary will make no mlB tako It she puts hor "for rent" advertise ments In Tho Tribune cent-a-word col umn and thus saves shoe leather. Too much care cannot be taken to uproot from the minds of tho rising generation the too common opinion that the world could not revolve without them.
