ClarK, the KlniitTRnrtner i-nKafjoil as principal In our free kindergarten schools for next year, places the spirit and rationale of this movement In telligently before the people of this vicinity. The object of this mode of In rtructlon Is to plve the rlirht bend to the Infantile mind at the earliest growth. The development of the pow ers of observation, Ingenuity and re flection, combined with moral and physlclal growth at the most Impres sionable age, Is the chief aim. It Is a mooted question whether nil our knowledge does not rum? to us through the senses. Whether this be so or not, after we have eliminated all that does come In thW way. whether moral, spiritual or lntclU"tti.il, we will And the residuum of underlvcd knowl edge very small. It was rr.'A o? the great Johnson that he wnvid roe more In crossing a street of London thnn most travelers In solns ar,ni:id the world. It Is to this perceptive and often long latent power of the child that kindergartens appeal with happiest re sults. The kindness of God-given na ture is made to enwrap the child as with the presence of God In His own works. And strange as It may appear. It awakens the best and most hopeful mental activity of the child, Issuing In moral, spiritual and Intellectual ad vancement which lifts the child at once to a high plane, and forces it to sing as the birds do, spontaneous and glad songs of gratitude for Its own being. The mode and detail of the Instruc tion Is very simple, but It Is very cap tivating; It Is also profound as It Is simple, for It seizes hold of the child nature at once, accords It all Its rights as a child and educes (educates) It fully, roundly and effectually. Such thoughts as these must have been elicited In tlie head of every thinking person pres ent at the annual meeting of the Free Kindergarten association Monday night. It n an association worthy of all praise, and the ladies who are giving It their enthusiasm of labor are worthy of spontaneous and liberal support. No organization. can be more cosmopolitan, for It embraces all classes, creeds and conditions, and lays the foundation for the best development of the child to whatever department of humanity it may belong. Defending Christian Science. So much Is said, these days. In con demnation of the practice of healing the sick by prayer that It Is at least fair to accord a hearing to the other side. Apropos of the recent arrest In Kansas City of 'Mrs. A. J. Balrd, a Christian Science doctor, "for practic ing medicine without a license," Judge .Hanna, editor of the Christian Journal, of Boston, thus proceeds td carry tho war Into the enemy's country: If a person gets slek a doctor Is called. If the-enso Is a dangerous one, and the pa tient recovers, the doctor gets unstinted praise, and his reputation Is at once added to. Few persons, even nmong those who believe In the divine, think of ascribing the recovery to Ond's mediation or power. They ascribe It rather to the supposed skill of the physician. Hut If the pntlent rtl'ts, tho physician Is relieved of nil responsi bility, on the" specious plot that death was Inevitable; tbat no "human power" could have prevented It, and tlint It was God's will that R should occur. Thus It Is that all favorable results nre credited to human skill, while all unfavorable nnd disastrous consequences nro charged to the account of the "divine will." It ought not to require very profound thinking ta satisfy one of the fallacy and rank Injus tice of this sort of philosophy. If It be true," continues Judge Hanna, "that drugs and medicines are of divine remedial Intent, ai a matter of further human reasoning we are forced to con clude that divine means are Inade quate and uncertain. We are driven) to this conclusion from observation, from Indisputable facts of everyday occur rence, and from the repeated declara tions of the physicians themselves." In proof of which Ithe Judge quotes from the writings of a score or more of emi nent phyflclans expressions showing the experimental and uncertain charac ter cfthj science of medicinal healing by means of drugs and material remedies. He also -quotes from tho writings of champions of the allopathic school, showing the contempt expressed by them for rival schools, and vice versa. Indeed, through two columns, the Judge subjects the regular practitioners of medicine to about as scathing a cross fire as ever a witness received . at the hands of an expert cross-examiner; and proves that, despite all their high sounding phraseology and assumptions of wisdom, they, are, in the last analy sis, mere empirics, unable to foretell tho consequences of their own medi cines. Having thus put the enemy to rout with Its own weapons, Judge Hanna concludes that "If a farmer should raise a crop of corn In the frigid zone whore corn had never been raised, and where nil traditions said It was Impossi ble to raise It, tin possibility of raising It and Uie principle whereby It was ne compllphed would have been estab lished, nnd 100 or 1.000 subsequent fail ures would destroy that possibility nnd that prlnelde, but would simply Hhow thnt lusome manner the conditions nec essary to success had not been met. Po with Christian healing. Its failures, when they ilu occur, nre taken up nnd commented upon nnd heralded nhnmd with the guatoof delight, while its suc cesses, though ns a thousand to one, are passed by with the silence of In credulity nnd prejudice, nnd tho possi bility of o healing Is unblushlngly de nted. Phnrlseclsm Is yet the rule of mortal conduct, nnd prejudice yet con trols the world." It would be Interesting to have some representative physician lock horns with the Boston controversialist on this subject. The lay public Is entirely willing to let the professionals fight It out among themselves. Practi:al Benevolence. The appeal of the Board of Associated Charities. In another column, to owners of vacant lots fur permission nnd means to put these Idle pieces of land to good use In sustaining feranton's un employed men and women should re ceive an immediate response. All that Is asked Is that persons who own un occupied land In or near the city will permit the board to place men and wo men at work cultivating this land; and that others will contribute funds to sup ply seeds and Implements, those who do the twins to keep the fruits of their own industry. In this simple and Inex pensive manner, hundreds of families may be supplied with food, both during the summer, and probably throughout next winter. The plan has been tried with entire success In New Yovk city, IVtrolt and other large cities, and ought to be even more successful here, where so large a percentage of the real estate of Scranton Is at present lying fallow at n time when many persons are without work or food. It Is to be hoped that the large cor porations will take the Initiative In re sponding to this appeal. They will lose nothing by permitting the large areas of idle land owned by them In tho city to be used In this humane manner; on the contrary, they will gain materi ally In good will and in popular respect. If these corporations will promptly sig nify their assent, no doubt many in dividual lot-owners will follow suit; and If the money response-of the chari table public shall sulllce to furnish the requisite seeds and implements, only a few days need Intervene before hun dreds of deserving persons now out of employment may be ejigaged In profit able and honorable labor In their own support. It can readily be seen that the adtual amount of cash required to put this plan into operation would be exceedingly small In comparison with the beneficent results to be obtained. But whatever shall be done will have to be done at once. Seed time will soon be over, and with Its conclusion will vanish the present happy possibility. Let the goodness of this good city make this one fine effort without de lay. It Is an occasion where he who shall give promptly will multiply the value of his gift tenfold. . - It Cannot Turn Bsck. The one thing which will have a ten dency to reconcile the people of the state nt large to the Institution, by the state senate, of an Inquiry Into the workings of the Bullitt charter In Philadelphia Is the plea of those who oppose such an Investigation that It would "liberate secrets designed to In jure the Republican party." What ever may be true as to Individual mem bers of that ijp.rty In Philadelphia, It Is absurd to contend that the party as a whole can be permanently Injured by a, public scrutiny of a public matter like the governm"nt of a great city. If that government has been properly con ducted It should challenge an Inquiry; but whether It challenges or resents the i proposed Investigation, we do not see how tho senate can now turn back. Kvery newspaper In Philadelphia, and every other reputable medium of public opinion, has at some time within the past two years Indicated a belief that the Philadelphia councils nre cor rupt; nnd that under the Bullitt charter It Is dimcult. If not Impossible, for the public to Institute needed reforms In that branch of the municipal govern ment, except through the agency of a special senate committee. A few of the newspapers now virtually retract these assertions, fearing the factlonnl conse quences of such an Inquiry; but In the minds of the people the original accusa tions still stick, and glvo emphasis 1o tho argument of those who advocate the adoption at Harrlsburg at the Pen rose resolution. It is of more concern to the Republi can pnrtyof Pennsylvania that It should deserve the confidence of the people than It should retain the favor of those politicians In Philadelphia who are act ing Just now as If they had something to cover up. ' ' The new management of the Chicago Times-Herald, while expressing very positive- opinions in Its editorial col umns, many of them different from those to which tho readers of that paper are accustomed, continues ta. print the news with absolute fidelity; and reports an Increase instead of, an expected de crease in circulation. We see no reason to question the truthfulness of this re port That day has clearly gone by in this country when men bought news papers because of their ngreement with what the editor wrote. They nowadays wlmt, above all things else, complete and impartial news; and are quite competent to form their own opinions concerning that news. If tho editor's opinion should chance to agree with ilielr own, well and good; if not, they can always have the satisfaction of re llootlng that nt least one editor to their knowledge has missed his vocation. The philosophy of the Kindergarten system of child-Instruction Is beauti fully expressed by Miss Clark In theso true words: "To form Is nobler than to reform, nnd every child In whom we plant Ulie soed of higher thought and nobler living will In hls lurn add to the strength nnd unity of the structure which wo raise; and ns genernllon after generation passes away, there will be lefit those who have ceased to see through a glnss darkly, but shall see God, through nature, face to face." A civilization which spends millions In breeding lino horses and developing rare (lowers and plants ought not to be grudge the paltry thousands asked for the culture of the mind of the child, nt thrut plastic ago when tho child "l tin father of ithe man." It Is amusing to note with whnt se reno content that good old Tory, George W. Fmulley, strokes the fur of the British lion and swings the Incense of his praise before sinister Baynrd nnd the other Kngllsh advisers of President Cleveland. According to Uncle Smal ley, we have In the iCorlntu nffnlr "played with undevlating correctness the honorable part of tho Impartial friend to both sides." In other words, we have seen Nicaragua held up and robbed In broad day light, and have neither collared the robber nor dlsap proved the steal." We should be suit ably appreciative oT the British esteem thus won ut the expense of our own conscience. Tremler Sngasta declares to tho edi tor of the Now York Herald, who went ull the way to Madrid to Interview him, that. Spain will spend Its "last drop of blood and Its last peseta" before It will relinquish Cuba. If Spain would do less shedding of blood and more honest gov ernlng In Cuba, she would have less need to talk In this delirious fashion. Spanish dominion In Cuba Is a survival of the middle ages; nnd the chief regret we have in the premises Is that the I'nited States has not yet been afforded an adequate reasifti for 'kicking the Spaniard out. . It is possible, and we trust true, that the large stockholders in the leading coal-carrying railroads are beginning to perceive that not even a wealthy railroad corporation can long prosper by the execution of a policy which In flicts needless loss upon one of the largest industries that contribute to the road's tonnage. The outlook In the an thracite coal trade Is once more meas urably reassuring. The Quay county matter Is slated to come up In the house today for final action. We suspect that a good deal of genuine relief would be occasioned by the announcement that this bill had been finally settled, one way or the other. It Is time for other Issues to have a chance. The New York Sun on Sunday re printed from the San Francisco Argo naut the correct text, correctly credited, of Homer Greene's beautiful poem, "What My Lover Said." Carry the news to Samuel W, Boyd! Umpire Gaffney will be sustained In his effort to maintain discipline on the diamond. The day of the rowdy player has gone by In base hall, even If the rowdy player has not yet reached a realization of the fact. The principle, Indeed, we may say tho only, objection to the Chicago Times Herald's big display story about an antl-Harrlson combination nmong lend ing Republican politicians la that It Isn't true. So now It appears that tho Quay county agony Is to be prolonged for yet another week. It Is high time this Issuo received Its finishing touch. There need be no fear that the Re publican party will ever permanently suffer from a plain and courageous per formance of Its obvious duty. . . The business of nn umpire being to umpire, It mny be remarked that Um pire Oaffney evidently knows his busi ness. Triose bnll clubs which expected to find a bonnnza In Scranton are ad vised to guess again. Senator Penrose Just now appears to be In the enviable position of the man who laughs last. A UALLADF.

MB. CHITTENDEN REPLIES. Ho Claims That tho Wagc-uritor Would Profit by Sticking to Protection and the Gold Standard. Editor of Tho Tribune. H r : The concise summing-up of my last letter by "Jtiniotulllu Republican" In your Ihhuo of tho 4 III Inst., by tho statement "that sonio people know a great many things that are not so" puts inn In sym pathy with tho mood of St. Paul when bo admitted that tho doctrine he preached was foolishness to tho Greeks and a stumbling block to tho Jews; but Jew ami Greek as nations have pussed away and the doetrltio still tUnmls. Thu assertion that called out this strong statement was this: "It seems to mo a mlstakn to as sume that this has ever been a silver coun try since 1MM. ele." Tho law Is quoted quite fully nnd apparently correrily to show that It has been, but unfortunately there are trade laws lis well as national laws, nnd wlu-ro they conlllet It Is not tho trade laws that suffer. Tho original ratio of I7IW of 15 to 1 overvalued sliver In tho same manner, but to a less extent than the ratio of Hi to 1 udvocuted, 1 presume, by "Bimetallic Itepiibllcan," overvalues silver today. The result was then, as It will bo now, If tried silver bullion taken to tho mint, coined, exchanged for gold and tho gold exported hut our forefathers apparently did not want to go on a silver basis, so they practically remained on a gold basis liy stopping tho coinage of sil ver dollars. ... Jefferson's order () to the mint In Wl, which seems to surprise my bimetallic friend, and which, of course, was as un constitutional as his eniburgo act, pro duced the following result: Sliver dollars coined 17U3 to 1SO0 1,2r.7.-IMI 1S01 B-I.4M imu 4i;,im0 1W3 ,!' 1H04 'i,r,70 "TJI ISOfl to ix.li;. Inc. Nono is:i7 J.uto ih: ::oo JKi!) Nono Now to claim thnt this was n bimetallic country from 1S04 to 1837 when tho mints were so closed to tho eolnago of silver that In fnet not a. slnglo dollar was coined except probably tho stock on hand In 1S04 seems to mo to nttneh undue Importanco to the law and no Importanco to the fnets. That largo quantities of subsidiary silver was coined Is true, but this coinage Is always silver and copper, never gold. It Is legal tender only for a limited sum. It Is always carried as an unavailable treas ury asset. Its placo could not bo filled by paper currency, ami even when coined It went to tho melting pot steadily until debased nearly 10 per cent. It hns no more relation to tho question of a proper currency basis than llio postnifo stnmps used ns currency In isii'j. in 18:17. perhaps tired of holding gold by main force, con gress debased It S'S, per cent, under sli ver, cheating the creditors of tho coun try Just thnt much, but opening tho mints with perfect safety to silver, which was worth cents more as bullion than us a legal tender dollar. . My friend says: "I find that prior to 1873 there were $l!i."i.OUO,000, coined In the United States nnd that was In silver dollars." Now, with no unltlnd nppllcatlon of Josh Billings' wit, I Infer that this was a slip of tho pen, ns the actual amount was $7,Wl,2:tH, one-fourth of which was coined in '70, '71 and I regret that mv friend paid so much attention to the historical Introduction of my letter and Ignored Its argument. From tho accession of Jef irvrmnt to the exit, of Buchanan our finances nre a dreary history of blunder ing Ignorance, of wrecked fortunes nnd pauperized workmen. If any one cares to study it, Holies' "Financial History of the United States," nt the library, is a very endurable. work. I regret also that my friend's historical researches should not have prevented his stating that "sliver had been demonetized, ns it were, by stealth" in 1X73. The bill was discussed In live separate sessions of congress nnd Its action fully understood. Tho past la gone, but tho future Is at the door and de mands decision. I would like to restate my argument ngalnst free silver colnnsie or alleged blmetajllsm at 10 to 1. It is this: That tho present currency consists of gold, silver, bank notes, greenbacks, etc., about Sl.GOO.WW.OOi); also of $1,351,0110,000 of bank deposits, which In their effect on prices, wages, etc., are currency; thnt these bank deposits. In the form of checks, do 94 per cent, of tho recorded business of the country today; that the freo coinage of silver would reduce the purchasing power of these deposits H,393,ti0,OU0 at once nnd would contract tho currency to thnt extent; anil thnt our $uoo,00o.aeo of gold would also disappear as currency. If wo should then coin nil the silver produced In the I'nited States It would require llfty yenrs to supply from that source the amount of currency now In use. If these propositions nre true, no sane man will advocate such a contraction. If not. true. It can be easily nnd quickly shown. I will ndd for tho consideration of "Blmetalllst" these genernl reflections: There are three things that stimulate and diversify the Industries of a nation ns surely ns some drugs nccelerato the action or the heart. They nro a protective tar in", a cheap sliver standard and a depre ciated paper currency. The first Is for the good of all, for tho wages of tho workman are paid In a dollnr that purchases tho same amount of foreign goods ns the wares shipped by tho capltnllst. The ether two rob the wage-earner by forc ing him to pay the heavy premium ne tween his wage-dollar and tho money de manded ly tho foreign seller. To tho wiige-earnor, tho silver bnsls will bring plenty of work and open nt once the mar kets of tho world, but he can produco thn same result In the snmewny by notify ing nis employer mat wnero no now irots $1 In gold ho will accept 45 cents in that metal. A friend tells mo that congress men's desks nre littered with petitions of tho Knights of Labor for free colnnao The statement Is Incredible. The wage earners were promised two years ago, low tnxatlun, cheap goods nnd tho mar kets of tho world. Lost time nnd reduced wages have already cut oft their eurnlnirs one-third. Will fhey blto another bnltml hook so soon? This Is a wnge-cnrnliiK country. The wagn-eiirners receive $13, 000,1100,000 to JM.(KKi,ikk),ki in a good year while tho product of silver In only Iixunhi.. 000. Why not preserve the greater Inter est? This silver discussion hns produced a mass of statistics showing the effect of cheap silver on wheat nnd wares. I wish lo contribute one. on Its effect on wuges nnd I would like wnge-oarners to studv It. and sliver cranks to explain It: 111 m SB o 1 HI Hi 1 Date ItdO W,7.rIKI It 2:w IJ2I7 00 1WI0 1,311.210, 2.7:t'.r,:tri 2SH 947 2X8 00 3411 OA 4H4 00 IKMt 4,711, HXij 2.2X2 If this tnblo tenches anvthlnir It la fhnf whllo sllfer depreciated ono-half, wages nearly doubled 'In gold. If the wnge enrner Is level-headed, he will let silver keep on depreciating and stick to his sold wages and the tariff. C. E. Chittenden.
