The announcement last evenlns, nt
the twenty-seventh anniversary of the
Seranton Young Men's Christian asso
ciation, that Mrs. Francis A. Hackley,
of New York city, who, as the daughter
of John Raymond, had passed her
younger days in this city, had donated
$23,000 for the establishment of a schoul
for manual training, In connection with
the local association, and to be called
by her name. Is a decidedly pleasant
eurprise. The advantages of such an
Institution are manifest. The need of
them has long been felt. And in decid
ing to supply that need Mrs. Hockley
not only establishes the finest kind or a
permanent memorial, bat manifests
keen discernment In the selection of a
medium and a site.
Announcement.
We take pleasure in r.nnour.clnir that
-Colonel J. D. Laclar, for many years
editor of the Seranton MiMlein, and
one of the foremost political writers in
Pennsylvania, has accepted the position
of manager of The Tribune's Interests
for Luzerne county. Colonel Laclar
will have general charge.editorially and
otherwise, of this paper's growing in
terests in his home county, and will in
addition contribute of his skill and ex
perience to The Tribune's daily progress.
It would be superfluous to speak to
the people of Northeastern Pennsyl
vania concerning Colonel Laciar's qual
ifications as a live and honorable Jour
nalist. ThVquarter of a century during
Which his brain and pen have shaped
the trend of Republican, opinion In
surrounding- territory is
sufficient enconlum. We can only
regard as exceedingly fortunate the op
portunity -which enables U3 to secure
his efficient co-operation in contem
plated extensions of The Tribune'3 cir
culation and Influence.
Representative O'Malley has very
properly resented the impertinence of
the half dozen Anthracite new county
boomers who. Ignoring their regularly
elected representative, drew up an ab
surd bill and sent It for Introduction In
the house to a Democratic member from
Philadelphia. Mr. O'Malley says he Is
perfectly willing to do what his consti-

tides with his private opinion or not;
but ha is naturally and Justly ag
grieved at the slight put upon him in
this recent new county fiasco. This
seems to have been a case wherein
the fine Italian hand of the Honorable
M. T. Burke overreached its purpose.
Flesh Diet and Civilization.
1 The theories of the vegetarians have
eldom been more forcefully propound
ed than by R. O. Abbott In the last
number of the Metaphysical Magazine.
The labor of the world, he affirms, has
always been done by those nourished

as the lion and itho tiger, are strong,
fierce and deceitful; it takes herbivor

the horse, to draw burdens and perform
Held work. "It Is said," he tells us,
"that about the period of the reign of
Henry VIII, the .regular breakfast of
the queen's maid of honor was a gallon
of ale and a chine of boef. Today, a
maid of honor with such an appetite
would be ostracized from any court in
Europe." The sensual excesses and bru
talities of the feudal period were
caused, Mr. Abbott would have us to
understand, not by pervorted religious
teachings, but by the excessive eatlnir

strong liquors. The growth of agri-

I "For the artificial, sedentary. Indoors
Iclstence of the present time," our au
rthor continues, "flesh food is positively
harmful. It Is inflammatory and stim
ulating, and Is the cause of many dis
orders especially when in combination
wlth other fats and sweets'. Cholera Is
said to bo twice as fatal among flesh
sate as among vegetarians. All
neats are liable to produce cancerous

ability and strain." Athletes trained

than beef -eaters, endure longer and win
a. majority of contests involving a con
tinuous draft upon the contestants'
strength.
"It Is unfortunate," says Mr. Abbott
in conclusion, "that the Impoverished
white flour of commerce has supor

flour in the nation's bread. According
to Liublg's experiment, a dog will dto

more phosphates and salts than meat,
and 200 per cent, more than white

a. demand be made for a perfect entire

sLa.lt of life, and that the broken white
reed, which has temporarily usurped Its
throne, be banished. Then will the

tegrity of the natlimal body be main
tained, and a liner psychical and phys
ical organism be transmitted to the
unborn than upon the present diet of

At a time when meat foods are rising
as rapidly In cost ns cereal foods are
declining, Mr. Abbott's conclusions are
certainly reassuring. Perhaps the cure
for Hit fle Hleclt? degeneracy, concern
ing which so much is being said just
now, lies in the 'Substitution on our
menus of preparations of grains for
thoso of n.-sh. Th hlrtory of the Chin

The Tribune this morning goes to its
steadily growing circle of readers In itn
enlarged form of eight columns to the
p:ij?u. This change enables us not only
to accommodate our Increasing adver
tising patronage, but also to add needed
space to our various news departments.
In Its present form The Tribune Is not
only the best but also the largest paper
printed in Pennsylvania outside of Phil
adelphia and Pittsburg.
The Seranton ball club yesterday was
too polite to win and much too business-like
to lose.
Where Will It End?
There is nothing at all improbable
about the report that England, having
found that it could do as it pleased with
Nicaragua, notwithstanding the Mon
roe docrine, now proposes to apply a
similar method of treatment to little
Honduras. Indeed, we cannot refrain
from admiring the shrewdness . with
which Great Britain's astute diplomat
ists improve the opportunities for Cen
tral and South American land-grabbing
opened to them by the convenient In
difference of our present state depart
ment. In the language of the curb
stone, England, knows when she has a
goxl thing, and proposes to push It
along1.
We do not like to criticize the con
duct of Secretary Gresham throughout
this series of Anglican aggressions on
the American continent. His is the one
office In our government which ought to
havt? behind it the moral support of an
united public sentiment. There should
be nothing partisan In the upholding
of our good name abroad; nothing call
ing for factions or factious discussion.
It should be as desirable to a Democrat
as to a Republican that the influence of
the Vnited States should predominate
in the political affairs of the western
hemisphere; that the strategic points in
thl.s and In the South American conti
nent should be occupied by powers
friendly to this government and In sym
pathy with Its Institutions. Should a
contrary policy prevail and bring on its
probable result of war. Democrats
would suffer equally with Republicans
under the disadvantages; consequent
upon the occupation of these points by
a hostile power.
Tet it is a singular fact that the
policy pursued by this administration
in. Its treatment of foreign complica
tions seems to be deliberately calcu
lated to weaken our influence and to
strengthen the influence of those na
tions most likely at some future time
to become our enemies. Whether this
arises from Indifference to concerns of
state beyond our borders or from ina
bility to cope with the diplomatists of
other countries, the result Is identical.
American prestige is being weakened;
the traditions of a century are being
spat -upon and the burden of righting
these Uomocratlc blunders, which will
fall Upon Senretary Gresham's succes
sor, is being made, deliberately It would
sometimes seem, large beyond sense or
reason.
Where will this Btupld un-Amerlca,n-Ism
end?
The moist days of springtime recall
to mind the pad fact that Spruce street
needs a correction of Its dlsease-brcod-lns
wooden-block pave.
Dramas of Piety.
An interesting theatrical experiment
was tried at Meadvllle last week when
employes of the Chautatiquan printing
establishments, under direction of the
proprietor, Dr. Flood, produced for the
benefit of charities Charles liarnard's
drama, of piety, entitled "Tho Blue Bon
net." The piny was a dramatization of
a touching story which has appeared as
a serial in recent Issues of the Chau
tauguan magazine. A letter to the
New York Sun thus describes Its mo
tive: , '
Tho theme of the story Is the Jove of humanity.-
Klcanor Brown, a rich young wo-
man or jnow xorn, iumi.a , '
wroniged soino poor people, and she re
solves to visit them in the slums of the
east side and right their crievances. Jimt
before the play begins her carriage runs
over Ensign Emily Brown of tho Slum
brigade, a beautiful girl who Is really,
though they do not know It, nor sjop
sJster. When the Injured girl Is brought
to" iCloanor's house a young Doctor Arm
strong offers his assistance, and Eleanor
and he" Jail in love at first sight. Another
lover has met the Ensign before in Eng
land and deaertod her. H now seeks to
get rid of the Ensign and to marry
Eleanor for her money. Eleanor puts on
the blue cloak and bonnot of the Salvation
Army and goes out undor Its protection
to help the poor. On this theme is built
a story of love and self-gacrlllce; the sis
ters find each other, and love Is rewarded
and tho guilty punished. The Play Is seri
ous and distinctly rollgtous. It pictures
cne salvation Army girl with entire sym
pathya sweet, unselfish woman a lady
and a woman, as she Bays, "busy about
the Masters work."
So successful was this amateur per
formance that Dr. Flood Is now under
stood to be seriously considering the
advisability of sending a professional
company out next season to produce the
play in regular theaters. And, Indeed,
why should he not? We take it that
the old-time prejudice of religious peo
ple against tho stage was directed, not
against the drama itself, but ngainst
abuses of that legitimate branch of
Idealistic expression. In what labor
could Dr. Flood engage, more commend
able that that of endeavoring to reform
the theater so as to put Its undoubted
Influences to good instead of to bad
uses?
The dogma that art must needs di
vorce Itself from morals has enjoyed a
long sway; but recent events clearly
indicate that, like all other delusions,
It must come to an Inglorious end. The
dnnger next to be shunned Im In the
placing of greater stress on morals
than on art. The two ought to work to
gether so harmoniously ns to make it
Impossible for the average spectator to
tell where one leaves off and where the
other begins. The instincts of a decid
ed majority of our fellow citizens are
still favorable to cleanliness and purity
as contrasted with noxiousness and so
clul filth. It should be the church's
pride to aid In tho temperate gratifica
tion of those instincts In as many ways
as human Ingenuity may devise. The
pulpit Is merely one of many agencies
for tho spread of righteousness; and
we shall hope to see It cordially co
operate with Dr. Flood's "drama of
piety" If that project shall reach the
professional stage.
Tho complaint of tho property owners
along Franklin avenue at the unsatis
factory condition of that thoroughfare
near tho Spruce street corner is entirely
reasonable. The company which tore
the street up should be made to relay
the disturbed asphalt in as good condi
tion as it was originally; and no time
should be lost, either. The abuse of the
streets of Seranton by some of the
corporations which do business upon
them has been long endured with a
Christian fortitude which may soon
cease to be a virtue.
The opening of the Eastern league
season in this city yesterday was suffi
cient to demonstrate that there are
enough persons In Seranton who take
Interest In well-played base ball to
make successful as a business enter
prise a well-managed local club. The
Btart was reasonably auspicious; and
Manager Barnie's fame as a disciplin
arian probably assures us, during the
season, a representative team of play
ers. Those Asbury Park Christian En
deavor societies which are circulating
petitions asking Mgr. Satolll to dis
cipline Rev. Father Phelan of St. Louis
for making uncomplimentary remarks
about Protestant church societies are
magnifying an unimportant affair. The
character of the young people connected
with the Christian Endeavor movement
is not, we should say, in especial need
of defense.
Of course, England Is "friendly to the
United States." But friendliness will
not abate her voracious appetite for
new dominion on this continent. The
seizure of Corlnto Is doubtless only the
first course on England's, territorial
blll-of-fare.
The president's patience with Spain
ha3 been rewarded, according to cur
rent reiKirt, by the full concession of
the American demands. Mr. Cleve
land's diplomatic triumphs are so few
that this one deserves ample publicity.
It would do several candidates for the
next presidential nomination no harm
If they should speak out their honest
opinions on the sliver question. The
people don't care to buy another "pig
In a poke."
We regret to observe that Editors
Smith and Clark, of Philadelphia, are
already lustily quarreling over certain
economic statistics. Does this signify
that figures can lie?
The correspondent who, Hi another
column, predicts a terrible war with
England might have been kind enough
to wait until Cleveland's term had ex
pired. The Philadelphia Press calls the pro
posed senatorial Investigation of Its city
n "political pinch." If that be true,
isn't the Press squealing prematurely?
Sensible parents want their children
to be in school during school hours.
Truants need prodding.

IS A WAR COMING ?
W. H. Lowdermllk writes to the Wash
ington Post a curious letter, which, how
ever, contains many excellent sentiments.
He save: "Should a virile American ae-
mand of our government that U Is her
duty to protect her weaker sister repub
lics from spoliation at the hands of Eng
land, the neat buccaneer of tne worm, ins
international freebooter, who goes about
stealing the territory of weak and help
less nations, we Instantly hear the cry
of 'Jingoism.' To the shame of our people
they allow themselves to be Irognyuiea oy
this cry. and at once suppress their de
mands. What Is there about this 'Jingo-
Ism' to frighten people? If 'JlngoUm'
means that wo are determined by force
of arms or otherwise to shield our weak
neighbors from violence at the hands or a
great bully; if It means that we will go to
war rather than permit a Europoan na
tion to aconite, by robbery or othorwlHe,
additional territory In America then all
hall 'Jingoism!' We should glory In It and
consecrate It,
'The United States is the most conRor-
vative nutlon on earth; It wants no war; It
meddles with no nation's affairs; It will
trespass upon nobody's territory; but It
has certain imperative obligations which
It cannot Ignore. It owes protection to
tho lives and Interests of lis nltlitoits ev
ery where; It Ik In honor pledged to the
Monroe doctrine, and its own self-preser
vation requires It to forbid encroachments
which may Imperil its safety by aggres
sions of other great powers. In the full
ness of a falo luexoruble war between tho
United States and tJreat lirltuln Is Inevit
able. While wo preach peace anil arbitra
tion ami brotliurly love in our blind In
fatuation, England, with clearer sight,
bus a full recognition of existing and
coming exigencies. She Is prepared for
tho conflict; we ure not. llur navy Is al
most invincible; her supply stations lie
nil ulmtit us, fully equipped; her magnifi
cent frowning fortifications line Canadian
borders, and from them her mammoth
guns Imperiously command our unprotect
ed shores. Our defenseless harbors ure
mapped and platted; our channels sur
veyed nnd charted; our few guns meas
ured and tosted; our resourcos reckoned
uud valued. Her own cotirsu Is shaped by
vigorous, uggrcsslve statesmen of experi
ence, nnd every quurer of tho globe Is in
cluded in her plans. liritlsh commerce
Is tho heart of Itrltih lite, and army and
navy and brawn und muscle and money
are alwnys ready to push and protect thut
commerce. If British pluns happen to he
unpalatable to the Americans or anybody
else that is their ulTiilr: but all the sums
the Englishman goes ahead to take what
he wants. Should our government, how
ever, raise ltd Man and stand by its guns
tbcro would probably bo hesitation, and
perhaps a retreat. This has occurred here
tofore, notably in 18U0, when a British ship
trained Its guns on the American flug
Moating over the Island of San Juan, and
denuiniled that the forty United States
soldiers stationed there should haul down
their colors and leave that. Island to Brit
ish supremacy. Tho captain of those forty
men thereupon nailed that flag to the mast
and challenged the enemy to lire on It.
The Englishmen sailed oway.
"The war with Great Britain which Is
Impending will do more to hurmonlio the
conditions of tho world than any other
possible event that can occur. The United
States will sufTer great losses in property
In the outset, but every resource of tho
nation will be taxed for the struggle; tho
country will spring- Into activity; there
will bo no Idlers; sh? will become in live,
years the preatest naval power In the
world; English maritime commerce will
bo destroyed; America will be the ruler
of the seas; American sails will whiten
every sou; Canada will come into the
Union; South and Central America will
have no European powers on their soil;
Venezuela will bo purged of them; Ber
muda will no longer be a British sentinel
at Uncle Sum's, front door; Cuba will not
be, as now, a foreign key to lock up the
Gulf of Mexico. The conservatism of the
United States, who will have no desire for
territorial possessions away from her own
borders, will Insure tho world ngaliiBt any
ono power dominating all others.
"This is Inevitable. The British 'Jingo'
is destined to meet his fato."
NOISY, BUT SCARCE.
Representative Tawney, of Minnesota,
has nt all events contributed a good story
to tho free silver campaign.. Mr. Tawney's
story is as follows: "Out In my district
there is a good deal of swamp land, and ut
night tho musical croak of tho frog can bo
heard through the land. Ono time a
stranger came to that part of the coun
try. He wandered around among the
swamps and listened to the frogs. Fin
ally he decided that it would be a good
Idea to catch some of the frogs and sell
them. His heart bounded high with hope,
and ho went to tho proprietor of the hotel
and said:
"Don't you want to buy a carload of
frogs' legs?"
"Tho proprietor said that he did not
know what In the world he would do
with so many. Hut the fellow persisted,
Ho said:
" 'Well, make It n wngon-load.'
"Tho hotel man said thut ho hud no use
for them, but that he might use about a
dozen or so.
" 'All right,' Bald the fellow, 'I will bring
them In tomorrow.'
"The next day he wandered Into the ho
tel with four little frogs' legs und a Blckly
smllo on his face. The proprietor looked
at him and said:
" 'I thought you could get a carload!'
"The fellow said: I thought that would
be dead easy from all the noise that they
were making out thero, but this is all I
could find.'
"That," says Mr. Tnwney, "Is the way
with the sliver men. They arc making a
great fuss, but when you go to look for
them a few stragglers are all that cun be
found."
Daly's. Contribution tn Litorature.
From tho Washington Post.
Augtistln Daly has Riven one phrase to
American literature that whatever muy bu
Its defect us a logical statement, has tuken
such deep root In current English that It
Is doubtful whether It can possibly bo
eradicated, and probably never will be dis
lodged. The phrase Is: "Of contempo
raneous human Interest." Mr. Duly em
ployed It orlginnlly In describing one of
his adaptations on the play bill. The lit
erary critics scored the phrase unmerci
fully at the time and trlud to ridicule It
out of existence, but It seems that despite
tho IrruslMllila conclusion that no pluy
could possibly possess any Interest for
trees or cattle as distinguished from "hu
man" creatures, Mr. Daly had filled a
long-felt want with It, for It Is now used
jytth Increoslng frequency. Doubtless ev
ery ono who jises It does so under mental
protest, charging the responsibility on
Daly, but It is one of thoHe winged phrases
that drops In like an old-time friend whose
clothes are not above criticism.
