The wonder Is not that ono boy has

that there has not been a larger num
ber of fatalities in consequence of the
inhuman speed at which these cars are
operated.
England's Alleged Ultimatum.
The accuracy of the dispatch which
credits Great Britain with having sent,
through Ambassador Bayard, an im
pertinent and highly offensive message
to this government concerning; its
peaceful overtures dn the boundary dis
pute between England and Venezuela
may well be doubted. It does not seem
credible that the British foreign olllce
would commit so grave an error of
Judgment at this particular time as to
nssert, in blunt terms, that it "would
not tolerate any Interference by the
United States." The Interference, up to
this moment, is altogether on England's
Fide; and If there is to be any stoppage
of toleration In the premises, the proper
lint Ion to announce It Is tho United
States.
In tha face of the clearly defined
doctrine of President Monroe, which
has been religiously reaffirmed by every
succeeding administration called upon
to cope with European aggressions on
American territory, Great Britain, for
a number of years, has been making
(steady encroachments upon Venezuelan
and NIcaraguan eoll; and Is, at this
time, unless appearances deceive, plan
ning; a culminating raid upon the fer
tile bottom lands of the Guyunl river in
Venezuela) and near the Bluefields of
Nicaragua, in close proximity to the
surveyed route of the proposed NIcar
aguan canal. There Is not one of these
successive extensions of British domin
ion which has not been, each In order,
a deliberate violation of the cardinal
tenet of American statesmanship. We
have done the tolerating; and England
ought to be shrewd enough not to push
our leniency to its limit.
The present circumstance, whatever
Its Intrinsic Importance, Is, however,
significant In its emphatic demonstra
tion of the need, among our legislators
and executive officials, of a. thorough
comprehension of the supreme Impor
tance of preserving the western hemis
phere from the unrighteous coveteous
ness of European diplomacy. There is
no nation dn Europe which has any
right to one new square foot of Ameri
can territory. The tendency of our
government should rather be to lessen
the number of square feet of American
eoll now under anomalous allegiance to
thrones beyond the sea. This .is tho
clean-cut American doctrine. It Is the
doctrine of Monroe and Webster and
James G. Blaine. ' It should be the doc
trine of every American president and
of every American secretary 'of state,
regardless of domestic partisan differ
ence or political Intrigue.
The killing of boys playing on our
Streets 4a . cheaper . to the Saranton
Traction company than, the cost of
Safety fenders. It's money that talks.
The Bible and the Schools.
The opinion of Dr. Edward Brooks,
the scholarly superintendent of the
riiiladelphla public schools, concerning
the advisability of reading the Bible
in the publlo schools coincides exactly
with "the view expressed in this paper
the day following Judge Qunster's now
celebrated ruling In the Waverly school
case: "The riile of reading the Scrip
tures In the public schools is appropri
ate for a Christian. country, . To take
the Bible out of the publlo schools
would seem to imply that we have lost
faith In those principles of morality
and religion upon which the nation was
founded. While I hold as sacred per
sonal convictions, especially in regard
to religion, I do not Bee how anyone,
whether he believes the Bible to be
an Inspired book or not, can object to
11 "ps v
that pure morality which Is taught in
flts pages.
"From the standpoint of literary cul
ture, I would not have the Bible ex
cluded from publlo schools, for in it we
find some of the finest models of prose,
simple and vigorous English. In ldf ty
thought, richness of imagination and
wealth of expression it stands above
both Homer and Virgil, and in express
ing those far-reaching aspirations of
tho human heart It is without a peer
in literature. Some of tho most emi
nent men of letters have enriched their
stylo of expression by a careful study
of tho Sacred Bible. Charles James
IAjx, one of the most eloquent of Eng
lish orators, routl the Book of Job until
he had committed It to memory, nnd
drew from it his grandeur ami force of
expression. Were I an infidel I should
want my children to hear, read, and
study and commit to memory passages
from the sacred volume, not only for
tho iuro morality Svhleh It inculcates,
but tilso for the literary culture which
It is so well adapted to afford. And so
long- as the Midi? remains In tho courts
uf Justice, to give sanction to testi
mony, so long, It seems to me, should
no ono on legal grounds object to its
being read In our public schools."
If the effect of Judge (lunv.ter's ruling
shall be to drive the Bible from our
public schools, the result would be, in
our opinion, an almost irremediable
misfortune. The state is a Christian
state, so far as concerns morality; it
hasi recognized the moral worth of the
Biblo by introducing that book in its
courts us the symbol of nacredness; and
there- are most important and far
reaching reasons why the Bible should
bo made a part of the public school cur
riculum, not as a feeder of sectarianism
nor us a provoking cause of denomina
tional or religious disputation, but as
a source of pure morals and an un
equalled repository of literary treas
ures. Fortunately, nothing in Judge
Qunster's decision, as publicly report
ed, challenges the right of a teacher to
read the Bible In the schoolB. It merely
and properly denies the right of
Bible reading to be expanded Into sec
tarian or denominational proselyting.
The auspicious circumstance of a
farewell dinner last evening served
pleasantly to commemorate the retire
ment of Colonel E. II. Hippie' from com
mand of the Thirteenth regiment; but
It was not needed to exhibit the warm
feeling which exists between com
mandant and staff nor to emphasize
the admirable esprit du crops which has
prevailed throughout the regiment dur
ing Colonel nipple's chieftainship.
These things have already passed into
the fixed hlstoryof the commonwealth's
banner five hundred.
Limit the Trolley Cnrs.
There cannot be two opinions as to
the continual peril In which the present
fast running of trolley cars down the
grades on several of our central streets
environs our playing children. The fate
of little Merritt Lawrence on Adams
avenue yesterday afternoon, while in
expressibly sad in itself, is almost a
foreseen consequence of the indefens
ible rapidity with which cars on that
street have been operated for many
months. Down trips at the rate of 15
miles an hour, often made without the
sounding of any signal or any abate
ment of speed at intersecting streets,
are frequent happenings under the free-and-easy
policy now In vogue touching
the municipal regulation of local trolley
transit; and in several cases the speed
has reached 20 miles an hour.
The mayor In his recent message
urged upon councils the need of a spe
cial ordinance to restrict the running
of street cars on our principal streets
to five miles an hour, and to require
cars to pauso at each street crossing.
Had such an ordinance as this been in
force yesterday on Adams avenue it
seems reasonable to suppose, from the
known circumstances of the accident
at the Olive street crossing, that little
Merritt Lawrence's life would not have
been sacrificed to the trolley Jugger
naut. But whether it would have ap
plied to this oase or not, the fact is
clear that such an ordinance is needed,
imperatively; and councils should lose
no time in pushing one through.
It should not be inferred from these
remarks that we share the sentiment of
unreasonable opposlton to the Traction
company which would lay obstacles in
its pathway solely for the reason that
it is a large corporation. It can and
should be made to subserve an inval
ablo publlo purpose in our scattered
community, by bringing the means of
cheap travel home to every part of it.
But in serving this purpose it must not
become unduly familiar with our repre
sentatives In councils, play sharp on the
city which permits It to enrich Itself
by the free use of the public thorough
fares, nor slaughter human beings by
the criminally rapid running of Its cars
or by its neglect to equip those cars
with suitable appliances for the safe
guarding of human life.
Mayor Connell's signing of the Frank
lin avenue double-track ordinance will
necessitate the carrying of this matter
for final adjudication into court. There
it will be determined whether or not tho
property-owners on a narrow street
have no rights which a corporation like
the Scranton Traction company Is
bound to respect. The ordinance Itself
is probably immaterial so far as the
ultimata result 4s concerned.. Had it
been vetoed, instead of signed, the test
in court would have had to come Just
the same. The Scranton Traction com
pany appears to be determined, not
only to get possession, by fair means or
foul, of every street In this city upon
which it desires to run cars, but also
to gobble up privileges that will act as
a permanent barrier to future competi
tion, whether used by itself or not.
This, In our opinion, is what the Issue
resolves Itself into. We lhave every
reason to believe that the Scranton
Traction company, however successful
In appearance at this time, will one of
these fine days discover a formidable
Richmond In its field.
The Chicago Times-Herald takes
George B. Swift's big Republican plu
rality for mayor very good naturedly.
"Democrats," it says, "accept defeat
with cheerful philosophy. They know
in their hearts that It Is undeserved;
that an unthinking populace has been
mlnled by the casuistries of shrewd Re
publican politicians, who have unload
ed upon the Democratic party responsi
bility for all economic or industrial Ills
from railroad strikes to Inclement
weather." Of course, the Democratic
party meekly permits the naughty Re
publicans to do all the talking. A very
martyr-liko crowd are the Democrats
of Chicago!
Councils, in an other city, would
pass an ordinance limiting the speed of
street cars on much-traveled streets to
fivo miles an hour. But In Scranton,
councils appear to bo constructed on
another basis.
Is It not a trifle singular that the re
duction of telephone rentals ordered by
the Central Telephone and Supply com
pany touches towns of 10,000 popula
tion and misses Serantun? Why is this
thus?
The cost of a car fender is twice the
cost of a funeral. That, we dare say, is
why the Scranton Traction company
prefers funerals to fenders.
Mr. Cleveland Is said to be greatly
discouraged at the continued Republi
can victories in the west. He has rea
son to be.
Now that Milwaukee has gone Re
publican, wo begin to have faint hopes
of eventually reululrnlng Texas.
ONE WAY OUT.
From the Wllkes-llijrre Record.
Tho Record quite agrees with the es
teemed Scranton Tribuno that moral
teaching Hhould not be banished from the
publlo f ' jols. lint religion Is tho basis
of morality and religion cannot now bo
taught In these Institutions without Intro
ducing sectarianism. When it comes !o
Iti'-iilciitlmr religious truths, every teacher
will naturally Ran toward his or her sect.
This would cause trouble. Tho old wound
would be reopened and religious strife
again divide the people. Tint there should
ho some way out of the difficulty. It was
never intended that the people's schools
should bo Oodles. The founders of this
great system did not mean that Christian
ity should be banished Tram our free in
stitutions of learning. They did not mean
that tho word of God should be tabooed
la tho interests of harmony, that the ten
commandments should bo expunged from
thccui rlculum. Thuro Is noreason why the
story of Christ should not be tauwht in our
schools In a non-sectarian manner. Tho
history of tho United State3, as taught In
our schools. Is non-partlsun. Why should
not the history of the Saviour's life and
works be non-sectarian? No one hears
a Democrat complaining because the man
who teaches his children Is a Republican.
Neither do wo hear Republicans object
because his boys learn from the lips of a
Democrat. If people were as amenable to
reason In religion us In politics, so far as
the schools are concerned, tho solution of
this problem would not be quite so dlf
lletilt. There exists no Insuperable reason
why representatives of nil the Christian
churches In tho state should not meet to
gether and adopt a simple hand book of
Christianity for use In tho public schools.
This book, embracing the story of the Sav
iour nnd Ills works could be studied by
pupils of all creeds without injury to their
particular faith, it being understood that
the teachers should guard themselves os
carefully against sectarian bias In this
case as ngalnst political bins in the. teach
ing of history. If all Christians who look
with misgiving upon the efforts to pre
vent the introduction of anything relating
to Ood In the schools would como together
on this common ground, the ugly ques
tion of sectarianism might be settled for
ever. IS OUIDA A PLAGIARIST?
Letter by E. A. Niven,
Those who read Oulda's Interesting
sketch, "Toxin," which appeared In your
columns last week, and who had previous
ly perused the late Mr. Hanson's novel,
"Vengeance Is Jllne," must have been
Btruck with the similarity of plot in each.
It Is strange Indeed that so celebrated a
writer as Uulda should have paralleled
Sir. Hanson's ideas so closely, and while
It Is a bold thing to charge tho distin
guished ludy with plagiarism, one cannot
help believing that sho must have glanced
through the lato Journalist's book before
she wrote "Toxin." Mr. Hanson Invented
a startling, as well as original murder, the
motive of which was to secure a woman.
Dr. Arnold North was an eminent English
physician. Ho fell in love with the cul
tured wife of a wealthy, but boorish mer
chant, a patient of his. He became wildly
Infatuated, and as death alone could re
move the barrier that stood between him
and possession of the object of his adora
tion, ho secured a typhoid germ, and when
the opportunity presented Itself, gave it
to tho husband in a glass of brandy. Tho
man straightway sickened and In due time
died of the dlseaso. Then ho married tho
widow.
In "Oulda's" Btory another English phy
slclan without sentiment but poor and
ambitious, is the hired companion of u
young and wealthy Slclllun prince, who in
time falls In love with a beautiful Ital
ian widow, of enormous fortune and raro
personal charms. A mutual devotion,
augmented on the woman's part by a deed
of heroism performed by the prince, ce
ments their heurts. The doctor suddenly
conceives a desire to marry the woman
himself because of her wealth and the op
portunity It will afford to prosecute with
out embarrassment of poverty, certain
scientific researches. His- Inspiration is
gross selfishness. Tho woman admires
him for his deep learning and acknowl
edges a. subtlo hypnotic power when In his
presence. But her heart belongs to the
prince. And here "Otilda" Introduces Mr.
Hanson's original plot ta open the way for
the physician's success. Sho prostrates
the prince with diphtheria and places him
In the scientific cara of his companion, the
doctor. The latter watches him until
signs of recovery are revealed when he
Injects toxin serum into his throat with
the result of laying him cold In deuth
with the horrible malady in a short time.
Then the doctor. In due courso of time,
murrlcs the rich widow.
KIXIGION IN THE SCHOOLS.
From the Philadelphia Times.
The decision of Judge Gunater, of Lacka
wanna county, In tho Waverly borough
school cnHe, Is a reminder that "denomina
tional religious exercises nnd instruction
In sectarian doctrines liuva no place In our
system of common school education,"
and that this principle applies to one kind
of sectarian Instruction an well us another.
Tho mutter come before him In an appli
cation to restrain tho principal of tho
Waverly school from conducting reunions
exercises "according to tho form of tho
Miilhodlst Kplscopul church," the Meth
odist minister sometimes assisting In these
exerclsos and giving the pupils religious
Instruction. The Jurisdiction of the court
was questioned on demurrer, but tho de
murrer wus overruled, with the oplnioa
that if the facts were as alleged, the prac
tice ought to be discontinued, and "It Is the
duty of the directors, If the abuse exists,
to see that It Is eradicated." Tho case
will thus go on trial upon the facts, and
tho court will presumably have occasion to
define the limits of allowable religious ex
ercises In the common schools, If It be pos
sible to make any limit short of absolute
secularization.
SCRANTON'S advertiser.
From the Wllkes-Barre Record,
Another newspaper man has laid down
his pen forevor. He founded the Carbon
dale Leader nearly a quarter of a cen
tury ago. His vigorous pen dealt mighty
blows for reform and good government in
that city and he stirred up tho dry bones
of official Incapacity until they rattled.
At one timo his strictures on tha officials
of the mayor's court were so severe that
his office was raided by a gang of hood
lums and his type thrown Into the Lacka
wanna river. He secured new type at
once and went on with the good work. He
conducted the Lender for six years and
then with the Bohemian spirit of a true
newspaper man drifted into other ven
tures. Finally his genius for story writ
ing caught the fancy of tho New York
Sun and Tribune and for several years ho
contributed Interesting tales of birds,
beasts and fishes to the columns of theso
papers. Then the Sun gobbled him up,
nnd took everything he wrote In that line.
His style was exceedingly entertaining
nnd he seemed to know the woods and
their denizens like an old trapper. Scran
ton, through him, became known every
where as the center of a vast forest
through which the bear, the deer, the wild
cat and the panther roamed nt will. The
imaglnury conflicts with these animals as
related by Cook possessed such freBhness
nnd oii;,inallty that they were not only
printed In the Sun, but copied extensively
throughout the country, Peace be with
him. He has not lived in vain. Around
many a fireside have his Innocent tales
been told, ami many a render of tho Sun
will regret that the clever ruconteur of
the Lackawanna vullcy has told his last
story.
Scouts tho Monroe Doctrine.
From the Richmond, Va Times.
We do not believe there Is a corporal's
guard of Americans, compared with the
entire nation, that cares one rap for the
"Monroe doctrine." 'The great body of tho
people never heard of 4t, and know noth
ing about It, and we are perfectly sure
that If the question were put to them,
whether they were willing to be involved
In a terrific war with one or more of the
llrst-cluss powers of Europe to maintain
Venezuela in eonio dispute, of which we
know nothing and caro nothing, the ver
dict of tho Aniericun people would be over
whelming and practically unanimous, that
they would be involved in no such quar
rel. Too Much Speculation.
From tho Wllkes-Barre News-Dealer.
The Scranton Tribuno is of the opinion
that "tho present advance of two cents
per pound In the price of meats, whilo
forced upon locul dealers by speculative
wholesalers, Is nothingdesB than a hold-up
of tho masses In order that a few manipu
lators of the market may be rapidly en
riched." Wllkes-Barre meat dealers inter
viewed on the matter coincide with the
above view. Tho retailer Is vlrtuully nt
the mercy of the wholesalers while In turn
the wholesalers are tho victims of the
speculators.
Must This Bo the Arbitrament.
From the Philadelphia Record.
The quentlon of the division of tonnnje
among Uie anthracite coal roads is a mat
ter that does not admit of ready settle
ment. At their recent meeting the presi
dents could not even bring themselves to
the point of agreeing to try to agree. In
the long run such matters are settled as
wolves settle the possession of tho carcass
they have capturel. Tho strongest wolf,
with the sharpest teeth and tho most
vicious temper, usually gets the choicest
cuts.
