Scranton' Best Advertiser.
The -writings of the late A. W. Cook
Illustrate the difference between fiction
which has malice behind it and fiction
used as a harmless vehicle of expressing
truths. The "bear stories" which Mr.
Coolc located in Scranton and its Im
mediate vicinity had no foundation in
truth, as news, yet they were grandly
true In their teaching of natural his
tory. 'Mr. Cook was a careful student
of birds, wild animals and fishes. He
knew their haunts and their habits.
His keen Interest inoutdoor life brought
him Into happy Bympathy with nature,
and gave to his most daring flights of
fancy a certain semblance of sincerity
which proved him the genuine artist as
well as the observant naturalist.
Mr. Cook probably did more to adver
tise Scranton than any other man in It.
It may be that he was guilty of Intensi
fying the onoe-prevalcnt Impression
that Scranton was a mining village of
the wild and riotous type made familiar
by Bret Harte In his pictures of fron
tier gold-digging camps of the vintage
of '49. It may be that his good-natured
stories of mythical adventures Imposed
upon some credulous people the notion
that Lackawanna county was Inhabited
chiefly by rattlesnakes, grizzly bears,
weevils, coyotes and wlldcats. But If
he had not done that, these persons
would nevef have heard of Scranton;
and 'twere better to be misunderstood'
.than not to be thought of, at all.
. At any rate, the Scranton which Mr.
Cook pictured was decidedly more In
viting than la the Scranton held up to
reprobation by most of the space-raters
of the sensational metropolitan press.
He gave us bear dances tout not horri
ble race wars. He took liberties with
eagles, hawks and "painters," but
scrupulously refrained from working
the festive "cave-in" or manipulating
the stlletto-aboupding vendetta. His
writings were full of feathers and
claws, but never of "pollnky," poniards
or the murderous paraphernalia of the
Mafia or the Molly M agulres. Scranton
can rise superior to rattlesnakes and
roving raccoons. Would that it could
With equal ease rid Itself of the. ob
noxious influences of the bloodthirsty
sensationalist who murders men, wo
men and children, demolishes 'homes
and starts great conflagrations all for
the small sum of $5 per column -
A contemporary avers that" toft sec
onds after theWUkes-Barre court house
clock struck eleven, the other trvenlnt?,
the Scranton court house' clock struck
eleven also. This is a serious charge,
which fmould be thoroughly Investi
gated. Scranton Is not ten seconds be
hind "Wllkes-Barre In anything.
Concerning Christian Science.
The action of a Palmyra, N. J., coro
ner's Jury In declaring "criminally re
sponsible" for 5-year-old Madeline Huffs
death her parents, who, although they
'knew their daughter had a severe at
tack of measles, refused' to Bummon
medical aid, preferring to await ; a
''faith cUre," reapers a subject Upcm
which there will probably never be en
tire harmony of opinion.. .The COroner'S
jury in this case is not content with
censuring the indifferent or else de
luded parents, but also reprimands per
tain prominent "Christian Scientists"
of Palmyra, through' whose teachings
it Is thought the neglect to? summon
medical aid originated. The effect of
this action will be, not to add to the
sentiment against so-called Christian
science so much as to muke martyrs
of the "reformers" thus censured, and
to this extent to stimulate the "faith
cure" propaganda.
"We confess that we see no legal way
out of these recurring Uragedles of
superstition, delusion or whatever elso
the tenet In question may be called. It
does not look plausible that sane par
ents would wish to sacrlllce their clill
dren; yet parents to all appearances
sane do not Infrequently achieve this
horrible result, not throuKh intention
but through misplaced confidence. A
censorship of the teachings of prophets
of new religious beliefs is impossible
of establishment by luw and apparent
ly ineffective when established by the
consensus of intelligent opinion. The
application, uiulcr forms of law as In
the Palmyra case, of the principle that
while the state moy not exerbise'a cen
sorship over the words or creeds of Its
citizens, it may properly hold them nc.
countable for results, satisfies Juntlee
only when responsibility for such re
sults as the death of unattended nick
persons can be clearly established. Aiiri
thus the problem gains In complexity
the longer It is studied.
Perhaps the best, certainly the eas
iest, solution would be to let these vari
ous systems of religious, or irreligious.
Instruction continue without opposi
tion. If there be truth in them, It will
eventually work Its way to the surface,
while the errors will quite as surely be
precipitated to the bottom. Before this
reaction ahull be complete, doubt
less a number of lives will
have been sacrificed; but not a greater
number than would be sacrificed were
persecution and martyrdom to figure
lu the process. All progress is won at
tho cost of bloodshed. Kvery flower
gathers'its brilliant hues to some, de
gree from the coloration of human
blood, shed in the battles for a per
fected civilization. This Is a luw of na
ture not to be lightly evaded or nega
tived; Therefore, we may as well view
the present ephemeral subject phllo.
sophlcally, and save our energies for
more important crises.
The Philadelphia Record does not
like Senator Lodge's foreign policy.
The Record, on some subjects, has ex
ceedingly peculiar tastes.'
Democracy and Education.
In the April number of The Citizen,
organ of the American Society for tho
Extension of University Teaching, Rev.
TV. Hudson Shaw, who has Just com
pleted in our city an admirable series
of lectures upon Venetian history, has
an article headed "Democracy and Edu
cation" which contains much whole
some thinking. After observing that
the nineteenth century, by reason of
the fast and furious pace at which it
has latterly moved. Is suffering from
nervous prostration, he illustrates his
meaning In this wise:
In literature, we luckloss moderns have
passed from the neurotic horrors of
Tolstoi and Zola to the physiological mon
strosities of Ibsen's "Ghost" and the hys
terical morbidities of Sarah Grand and
"Sew Women" of that Ilk. American
maidens by the hundred thousand desert
Joartnie Deans for the fiii-de-slecle heroine,
of virtue, "Trilby." English clerics dls?
course to admiring congregations of Chris,
tiins concerning "Tess of the D'Urber
vllles" and the "Second Mrs. Tanqueray."
In religion we have arrived at Madame
lilavatsky and Theosophy, the revelations
of W. T. Stead's "Julia" and tho credible,
miracles of the Christian Scientists. In
art, wo are bidden to rejoice in the In
anities of Aubrey Ileardsley and. "Tno
Yellow Hook," succinctly though unpo
lltely characterized by a Phlllxtlno crltlo
Insufficiently up-to-date as "erotic, neur
otic and Tommyrot-le." What wonder is
it that wo have drawn down upon us tho
righteous Indignation of Max Nordau,
who in his striking book, "Degeneration,"
has reminded us that nations, like Indi
viduals, mny suffer from overwrought
nerves and carry Intellectual excitement
to the verge of mental disease?
This "unhealthy condition of our
brain centers" has also, In Mr. Shaw's
opinion, seriously affected our polities,
a circumstance shown by the "perpet
ual succession of academic Jeremiads"
against the ability of the people to
govern ' themselves, which , proceeds
from "men who evolve theories In their
studlCB and know little of the real life
and thought of the maBS of men." The
writer shows how -these prophecies of
evil have been repeatedly disproved in
England, and then adds:
America, the .chosen home of democ
racy, has had a longer experience of gov
ernment by the people, and here, In spite
of difficulties caused by her too hasty
grant of citizenship to foreigners and thu
too frequent dumping of tho scum of Eu
rope upon her shores, the general avorago
of human happiness is probably higher
than In any considerable nation of undent
or modern times. It Is true, American
streets nre not over-clean, her municipal
councillors are not always persons of Im
maculate virtue, nor hor senators entirely
disinterested In their political actions.
But those evils are not Inseparable from
democracy. Arlstocratlo England, a. cen
tury ago, experienced them more than tho
United States do now. Some day, when
business will permit, the Lady Columbia
will hang a contractor or two; clear both
her streets and her councils; nnd remem
ber Jhe bosses and the spoilsmen no more.
The fact is that'the era of democracy
has arrived; that It is useless y try to
fight It back, even were It desirable
that democracy should be fought back;
and that both the policy and duty of
common sense are to so educate the peo
ple as to fit them for their responsibili
ties as sovereign governors. Upon this
subject Mr. Bhaw says:
We need, however, somothlng more
than the training of children and thn
bestowal of the tools of knowledge, If
democracy Is not to chd In unutterable
disaster and ruin, we must takn In hand
'the training of the adult. Citizenship
does not come by tho light of nature, nor
will the workman learn it from the litera
ture to whlrh at present he is chiefly ad
dictedthe Sunday 'newspaper and tho
sporting chronicle. - We shall . have to
teach It. -We shall have to place within
his reach, In every, town and village of
the land, What Carlyle called the "true
modern university of books." W)th what
amazement Will Our descendants read that
civilised nations like England and the
United States, boasting of their enlight
enment, cared greatly about. gas and trol
leys, arid were Indifferent to the. need of
public libraries! .
It is something of a coincidence that
upon the day that this article saw light,
which was likewise the date of its au
thor's final visit to Scranton, a Scran
ton court was laying down the principle
that the reading of the Bible in the
public schools constituted a breach
alike of common, statutory and funda
mental law in the commonwealth of
Pennsylvania. We should like to know
Rev. Mr. Shaw's opinion of an educa
tional system in a democracy from
which the moral teachings of the Chris
tian Bible had been eliminated.
Tho current report which credits Gov
ernor McKlnley with having recently
declared that should the Republican
party endorse free silver he would de
cline the presidential nomination and
quit the party needs corroboration.
Overlooking the fact that the governor
cnuld not well decline a nomination
which has not been tendered, It re
mains to consider what free silver
means. If by . that It meant silver
monometallism, Governor McKlnley, If
he ever made the foregoing remark,
which Is doubtful, may rest easy, for
tho Republican party will, very cer
tainly, never espouse so undesirable a
policy ns that. Hut If tho phrase be
lined to denote the free coinage of
American sliver at un equitable ratio
toward gold, the governor Is recom-nit-nded
to get his declination speech
ready, for the chances are' lie will, If of
th: same mind, yet have occasion to
line It.
The legislator at Albany who, in
order to conserve the morals of cer
tain perverted flothamlte admirers of
the nude In art, proposes to prescribe
by legislation what people shall wear
and what kind of pictures they shall
look at, no doubt means well, but ho
has taken hold of a task for which no
living legislator Is sufficiently quail
fled. We do not believe that statutory
enactments nre necessary in these
premises. If individual decency ' and
good taste are Insufficient to cope with
the problem, little can be expected In
way of wise relief from so promiscuous
a body as a general assembly.
The Royal commission, app.dnlod
two years ago to consider the question
uf prohibition In Canada, has reported
adversely. The news item which her
aldsthls Information slgnillcantly adds:
"The government derives $8,000,000 or
$10,000,000 revenue from the liquor traf
fic, which it is not disposed to surrender
unless compelled to." The liquor traf
fic did a shrewd thing when it accepted
tho license system.
Mr. Piatt's come-down In New York
is currently described as graceful; but
we see nothing particularly graceful In
one man telling several million men
that they may have their way.
LEGISLATIVE TOPICS.
Ilarrlsburg, April 2. The senate com
mission appointed to Investigate tho oper
ations of tho Brooks license law will re
port a bill when the senate convenes week
after next. It will embody the recom
mendations made by the temperance peo
ple. Tho most drastlo provisions abolish
bottlers' licenses, and mako money ttn-
collectable that Is advanced to start up
saloon men by brewers, distillers and
wholesalers or combination of them. Tho
liquor people are preparing to muke a
vigorous fight In opposition. The Rep
hart bill, forbidding brewers to bottlo
beer, will be virtually incorporated in tho
proposed new license law.
...
Completing tho Governor's Staff.
According to newspaper gossip it ap
pears to be definitely settled that Major
Warren, of Scranton, will be judge advo
cate general of tho National guard after
all. There Is talk of retaining the veteran
Surgeon General Reed, of Norrlstown,
who is a Democrat. Colonel Thomas Pot
ter, of Philadelphia, will likely be ap
pointed assistant quartermaster general.
He held the place tinder Governor Beaver.
Opposed to Pitro Elections.
The defeat of tho Lnndls antl-brlbery
bill In the senate renders It doubtful If
tho nntl-corrupt act proposed by the Penn
sylvania Civil Service Reform associa
tion will pass this session. The Landls
bill, It will be remembered, provided that
any person who pays money to secure
votes or to withhold. them at nominating,
primary or general elections, shall on con
viction be fined ?!,000 and lie deprived of
the right to vote for five years for the
first offense and for a period of ten years
for the second and subsequent offenses.
To make the bill objectionable and to fur
nish some excuse (or- killing It, this amend
ment was put Into t In committee; "This
act shall not be construed to prevent the
payment of state or county taxes, by any
political organization acting as agent for
any such political organization of reason
able compensation to watchers nppoiuted
by luw representing such political or
ganization." Such an amendment Is
enough to kill any bribery election bill.
Cuba nnd Spain.
From the New York Sun.
ftupposlng no international complica
tions arise, the United States government
cannot touch the struggle of tho Cuban In
surgents. Our government has no con
cern with the question, no right to meddlo
with It. But every American citizen
worthy of his birthright wishes that tho
Cuban rebels might prevail, and throw
Into the sea the authority of Spain in this
hemisphere, never to be raised again over
Cuba.
Tho Spanish monarchy on this side of
the water, governing a foreign country de
siring self-government, Is an anomaly, It
Is an untimely and outlandlBh outrage on
the principles asserted successfully by tho
colonies of the United States. The entire
population of North and South America,
all republicans, want to see the power of
Spain withdrawn to Its own soil, and
Cuba left to the destiny Its citizens can
make for It. Free Cuba, of any form of
government, but self-governing, is tho
hope on this side of the Atlantic today; It
Is tho Inevitable fuct of tomorrow.
All the effortsof the gallant Cubnns to
make that morrow come as soon as pos
sible nre backed by tho living symputhles
of tho North American Union.
Sanity and Ifrlllluney.
From the Lebanon Report.
The suit brought by the once famous
Anna Dickinson to recover damages for
alleged falRe confinement on tho plea of
insanity revives Interest In the question
of the relation Insanity bears to brill
iancy. It Is a point contested by medi
cal experts, and opinion la by no means
one-sided. Not a few careful students of
the physiology of the, mind allege that
there 18 but a step Between me two anil
that a really brilliant mind Is not a normal
one. It ,1s pointed out by them that a
strnln of Insanity In more or less violent
form almost Invarlubly crops out In the
family tree. There are some consplcu
ous instances of marked peculiarities In
brilliant men. roe s was certainly not .a
normal mind; Edwin Booth's brother, the
murderer of Lincoln, was unquestionably
Insane, while Edwin Booth himself pos
sessed a very singular mental tempera
ment, Byron was not normal, though he
could not bo called Insane; Samuel John-
son and Carlyle were so ecoentrlc that fow
could fathom them. In fact If we would
confine ourselves to eccentricities, a long
list of notables in the annals of art, war,
diplomacy, would have to be Included.
On the other hand aome brilliant minds
seemed free from defect. The nuestton is
I an Interesting one which would well bear
an exhaustive study.
