June 7, 18U2.
Compulsory Education Assured.
The proof of the pudding1, as Gover
nor Hastings Intimates In the message
announcing his approval of compulsory
education, is in the eating thereof. Ad
vocates of the Farr law are content to
rest their case upon a fair test of that
law, in the belief that while experience
may dictate minor changes It will not
fall to vindicate the underlying princi
ple. Nor do we "wholly share the gover
nor's anxiety as to the law's operation.
A measure which has work -d for good
In almost , thirty other states need
hardly be regarded as of doubtful
utility as applied to Pennsylvania. The
new law should have a fair chance, un
hampered by ofllcial suspicion; and con
demnation will be in order when it shall
have failed.
Foolish Congressional Reapportion
ment. Under the scheme of congressional
reapportionment proposed by the sen
ate committee, Lackawanna county,
now the Eleventh district, would, in
conjunction with Susquehanna form
the Twelfth. The addition of Susque
hanna would add 40,01)3 to the present
district's population, making 182,181 al
together, as against 201,203 population
in Luzerne county, which remains a
district by Itself the Thirteenth.
Upon the basis of the last presidential
vote, the new Twelfth district would
contain a Eepubllcan plurality of 1,526;
or, estimated upon the basis of the vote
for supreme court Judge in 1S93, the
plurality would be 1,493. Upon the
basis of last year's gubernatorial vote,
the district would have a Republican
plurality of 4,591.
' The linking- of Wayne with the pres
ent Eighth district would give, upon
. the basis of' the vote for Hastings, a
liemdcratlo plurality' of 1,083; but this
would, under ordinary circumstances,
probably be multiplied by three. The
. hitching of Bradford and Wyoming to
Sullivan, Lycoming and Union would,
on the basis of last fall's vote, give a
district with 6,397 Republican plurality;
but upon the fairer basis of the vote for
Supreme court Judge In 1893, that plu
rality -would be 4,060. Potter, Tioga,
Clinton, Cameron and McKean would
have, ordinarily, a Republican plurality
approximating 4,500. But while this ar
rangement of the present Seventeenth
district wuld insure its returning a Re
publican successor to Congressman
Kulp, it would throw Into Jeopardy Re
publican prospects In what is now the
Thirteenth or Schuylkill district, which,
by the addition of Columbia would,
even on the sanguine basis of the vote
for Hastings have a Republican plu
rality ,of only 625, which replaced a
Democratic plurality, In 1893, of 1,165.
But there la absolutely no reason for
the dismemberment of tho present Fif
teenth district. The Republicans of
Wayne county do not deserve to be
hopelessly linked to the now irreclaim
able Eighth. Nor is Lackawanna coun
ty so stationary In population as to re
quire the addition of another county in
order that it may meet the necessary
ratio. The next census will unques
tionably show that Lackawanna alone
will have reached, and perhaps over
stepped, the ratio; hence to disturb It
now, without gain to the party, would
bo an indefensible action. Let the sen
.a'te committee reserve its attentions for
districts showing marked discrepancies
and not undertake, against the wish of
the community affected, to split up a
series of districts which are already en
tirely satisfactory.
vBury the Electric Wires.
An ordinance has Just been adopted
in .PMtsburg providing- that no' more
electric wires shall be put up on streets
which have already two lines of poles,
and that one-eighth of the wires al
ready up shall be "put underground
teach year for eight years. A promi
nent feature Of the discussion of this
ordinance was that none of the elec
trical companies opposed It, they realiz
ing that the abolition of the overhead
wire nuisance Is bound to come some-
time, and that it might as well come
first as last.
In this particular, the electrical com
panies of Pittsburg have set a whole
some example to a number of similar
companies In Scranton. The opposition
of the latter to the lamented Browning
ordinance requiring overhead wires to
be taken down and laid in conduits is
fresh in the public's memory. It suf
ficed at that time to defeat this needed
reform; but will the people of thin city
rest content with that unwise settle
ment? Will they not be Inclined one
of theso days to re-open the discussion
in a manner which will Insure a more
progressive result?
Every year Is bound to bring with It
new electrical wires. The continued
stringing of these deadly surcharged
filaments overhead will simply Involve
those who thus string them In extra
expense when the Inevitable, order
shall be given for their burial. ThU3
It would seem to be the policy of econ
omy as well as of the public welfare
for the electrical companies volun
tarily to preiiare to undo the overhead
wire nuisance. If they shall nPRloct to
do this, when tjiu city Itself seriously
takes the matter in hand, the conse
quences may not be altogether pleas
ant. Hounding; a Patriot.
The neglect of the udmltistratlon to
grant Admiral Meade's request to be
placed on the retired list, taken In con
nection with the withdrawal of his
leave of absence, Indicates that while
they cannot, under our forms of gov
ernment, order him to bo hanged, drawn
and quartered fur venturing to speak a
few straightforward sentences of clean-
cut American patriotism concerning
their miserable conduct of foreign af
fairs, the Cleveland-Gresham-Hcrbert
combination Intend, during tho next
two years, to make life as unpleasant
for the gallant seaman as their petty
Ingenuity Bhall discover how. ' He is to
be kept ashore on waiting orders, and
In this manner subjected to the mean
est treatment that a commissioned
naval officer can receive from hU
nominal superiors.
But even this apparently does not
measure the malignity of the cuckoo
brood. We have the Philadelphia
Record following up the adminlstra
tlon's small methods of vengeance with
a charge that this brave and popular
seaman, whose popularity with th
Yankee tars exceeds that of any other
officer now In the service, Is "crazy."'
The charge Is on a par with that once
brought by ignorant chroniclers against
General Grant, when they accused him
of being drunk at the battle of Shiloh.
If crazlness is what causes Admiral
Meade to fight like a Trojan In time of
battle, and utter stirring sentiments of
patriotism In time of peace, the quicker
his detractors at Washington and else
where get some of the same wholesome
brand of Insanity Into their anaemic
veins, the better it will be for the credit
of the executive branch of our govern
ment.
Of course, the net result of all this
hounding will be to establish the ad
miral deeper than ever In the affections
of those of his countrymen who are not
yet ashamed of the Stars and Stripes,
nor afraid to stand up for te institu
tions which they proudly signify. In
this sense, the despicable doings of the
administration's henchmen are to bs
In part commended. But the episode Is
another sickening blot upon a record of
nfamy such as no other Democratic
president save perhaps Buchanan has
ever Impressed upon the pages of our
history.
A good deal of valuable space Is be
ing taken In a number of esteemed con
temporaries In a needless discussion as
to the unit of measure of value In this
country under the statute of 1792. That
statute Is plain in its use of the English
language, and it says distinctly that
the sliver dollar should be the unit. But
we are living 103 years later than that
date: and the subject of contemporary
concern is entirely distinct from the
statute of 1792. All things considered,
It Is high time we had more pertinency
In the running debate of the currency
problem at present jn in the newspa
pers. The Pennsylvania Oral School for the
Deaf, In this city, asked the legislature
for an appropriation of $81,600. Chair
man Marshall's bill gives It $44,000, a
moderate reduction compared with
some on his list, but yet too large. It
is a pity that so rich a state as Pennsyl
vania, with nearly $4,000,000 of Idle
money in Its reserve fund, cannot afford
needed appropriations In the cause of
charity.
If the Democratic party on any Is
sue, could command public confidence,
Its prospective, espousal of I silver's
cause would prove dangerous to Re
publican reascendancy. But as It- Is,
the people, we suspect, will look to Re
publican statesmanship to solve the
currency tangle.
And now It appears that the refusal
of Admiral Meade to be cross-examine.
by the administration completely ties
Its hands. This Is' fortunate for the
administration.
Major Handy Is of the opinion that
the Wanamaker senatorial boomlet is
likely to become, dangerous. The ma
jor always was optimistic.
President Cleveland's book will prob
ably be a blank book.
The esteemed Lancaster New Era Is
evidently afraid that if the United
States would once more open Its mints
to American silver, placing a tariff on
the foreign article, there would be a
regular flood of silver bullion to be
coined. But where would this flood
come from? The amount of silver ore
In this country Is practically a known
quantity; and the cost of mining It can
readily be ascertained. Is not our con
temporary, therefore, worrying over a
danger which has no foundation In
fact?
Wilmington's Republican club has
vigorously denounced J. Edward Ad
dicks', the gas magnate who, It is al
leged, tried to buy a scnatorshlp; but
the denunciation unfortunately comes,
as Is often the case, after the mischief
has all been done.
Who naked for the Joining of Sus
quehanna country to Lackawanna In
the now congressional apportionment
bill; and who Is responsible for the In
sult put upon Wayne? Let the sen
ators who stand sponsor for this ab
surd 'arrangement point' out their
prompter.
If William C. Whitney should by any
accident Imagine next year that he
would like to run for president on the
Democratic ticket, keep your eye on
him. Despite his. polities, he Is an
American and a patriot.
The Philadelphia Record claims the
present business revival us a product
of Democratic legislation. Well, the
Democrats will need to do a good deal
of reviving to. even up their work as
dept t'Fsorc.
The mhldle of May, 1K9D, will become
noted, among other things, as the time
when the advocates of the Cleveland
kind of dishonest state bank currency
fell to calling their opponents swindlers
and knaves.
Hereafter, In Pennsylvania, the
wholesome principle will be recognized
in the statute law that even tho state
has some rights which the indifferent
parent Is bound to respect.
Drop a penny Into the "Washington
special" slot machine and draw out a
new income tax decision.
The "fraud of '76" has been replaced
In Tennessee by the fraud of '93.
WISE Pit OTHERWISE.
Charles Lever, the novelist, once got
himself out of a very close plnee by his
ready wit. The Standnrd tells how when
he was consul at Trieste he accompanied
his daughter on a certain occasion to Lon
don. Lord Lytton, hearing of his arrival
invited him to dinner. "Ah. Lever," he
said, grcoting him, "so glad you were able
to come! You will meet your chief Clar
endon" (then mlnlstor for foreign affulru)
but Lever had omitted the formality of
amilylng for leave of absence. "I fear
must retire, my nose is bleeding," replied
the novelist, making for tho door, which
at that Instant opened, Lord Clarendon be-
Inc announced. After shaking hands with
his host, his lordship espied Lever before
he could make good his retreat. "Ah, Mr.
Lever, I didn't know you were In Eng.
land! I didn't even know you hail asked
for leave." "N no, my lord, stam
mered the witty novelist, "I thought It
would be more respectful to your lord
ship to come and ask for It In person!"

Europe's public debt is now $15,000,000,000
and still growing. And yet Europe has no

The following most remarkable Instance
of rapid growth was recorded by the
French Academy In 1729. It was that of a.
boy 6 years of age, 5 feet 6 inches in height
At tho age of 5 his voice changed, nt 6
his beard had grown and he appeared
man of 30. He possessed great physical
strength and could easily lift to his shoul
ders and carry bags of grain weighing 200
pounds. His decline was as rapid as his
growth. At 8 his hair and beard were
gray; at 10 he tottered In his walk, his
teeth fell out and his hands became pal
sied; at 12 he died with every outward sign
of extreme old age. And yet we moderns
complain of living too fast!
V
One common habit of persons who do
not talk much Is tho unconscious transpo
sition of syllables. A recent contributor
to the Atlantic not In Dr. Holmes' fa
mous sense mentions the case of a cer
tain charming young lady who was af
tlu.ted with the vexing habit. One s ai
mer evening she was sauntering with a
friend toward the village postolllee of the
little town where they were staying. On
the way they encountered an acquaintance
with a handful of letters. "Ah, good
evening," she said, In her peculiarly gra
cious manner. "Arc you strolling out for
your mole?" The mystllled young wo
man made some inarticulate reply and
passed on. As soon as the friend could re
cover her gravity, she gasped, "I suppose
you Intended to ask Miss May If she was
strolling out for her mall?" The ,same
young ludy was relating a sod story of
various misfortunes which hud over
whelmed a dear friend. "Think," she con
cluded pathetically, "of losing husband.
hlldren, property and home nt one swell
foop!" And a howl of laughter rent the
oof.

The limit of tho utility of the telephone
has evidently not yet been reached, a
fact humorously indicated In a little cir
cumstance n-luted In the Sun Francisco
Examiner. The other morning, about 3
o'clock, an affluent young 'Frlscoan whom
wo may call Smythe awoke with an ex
cruciating pain In his stomach. Tho more
he squirmed the worse he grew. Finally
the terrible thought unshod upon him that
he had been poisoned. In a moment lie
dnshed out of bed, downstairs to the tele
phone and demanded to be switched on to
his physlolan s number without dolay.
For heaven's sake, doctor, come at once!
I'm poisoned." The M. D., who had ulno
crawled out of bed to answer the sum
mons, growled back, "What makes you
think so?" "Frightful pain awful cramps
Inside on fire hurry up, or I'm a dead
man!" "Humph 1 Docs er does your
stomach moke any noise?" "Yes; kinder
growls must bo arsenic, or something."
Growls, eh? Just put the 'phone against
the pit of your stomach. Ah! I thought
o you've been to the French hospital
fete this evening, haven't you?" "Yes.
sir." "Exactly. You're suffering from a
general fermentation of lemonade, cruta
salad, fruit cake, pickled oystors and Ro
man punch. You're all right. Just take a
little peppermint and ginger, then go to
bed and grin It through."

It Is seldom that $300,000 is wagered on
trie flip of a coin. But this was once true
In the case of the late W. C. Coup, tho
showman, as a Philadelphia Record biog
rapher thus explains: Colonel Coup and
Henry Rulche, the foreign animal trainer,
mere partners In the Ill-starred Aquarium
nture In New York city In 1879, and each
d more than 1300, OOOcash tied up In It. For
t(io first few months the Aquarium was a
big success. Then the subject of opening
on Sunday led to a bitter fight against It
by the clergy of New York. Relche want
ed to keep it open and Coup opposed It.
They could not agree, so Coup suggested
that they dissolve partnership. But this
was no easy matter, and finally Coup
said: "Let's flip a penny; the winner gets
the whole layout; the loser gets out." It
was so agreed. All Coup's money was 111
this thing, and Relche didn't have a dollar
outside of It. The throw of a penny meant
poverty to one and a big load to carry for
the other. Coup took a penny from his
pockot and told Relohe to call It while In
the air. Then Coup tossed It. Relche
called "heads." The copper fell to tho
floor and spun around for a few moments,
while both men stooped eagerly over It.
They wore the only witnesses. Finally
the penny began settling with the "tails"
side underneath, and Coup saw that he
had lost. "I didn't wait for the copper to
stop," said the old showman, In telling the
story, "but told Relche he had won fulrly.
Then I picked up the penny and 'got out,"
as per agreement. But I have carried that
penny In my pocket ever since. I wouldn't
part with It for $1,000."

FUNNY LITTLE ONES:
Flossie went down to the soaslde In June
and the first duy she saw the bathers from
tho hotel windows she shouted to her
mother: "Oh, mnnima, come and see the
people in Uod's big buth tub."
In tho hotel where Flossie was stopping
she took a fancy to riding In the elevntor
anil she nearly worried tho life out of the
elevator boy, ringing him up. One day he
was not in a very pleasant framo of mind
nfter nhout the seventh trip and she no
ticed It. "Well," she suld to him with an
a!r of apology, "I suppose you think I

With her father and mother Flossie went

REPRINTED BY REQUEST:
I dreamed a dream In the midst of my
slumbers,
And as fust as I dreamedjt was coined
Into numbers.
My thoughts ran along in such beautiful
meter,
I'm sure I ne'er heard any poetry sweeter.
It seemed that a law had been recently
made
That a tax on old bachelors' pates Bhould
be laid.
And In order to make them all willing io
marry
The tax was as large as man could well
carry.
Tho bachelors grumbled and said 'twas
no use
'Twas cruel Injustice and horrid abuse,
And In order to save their own hearts'
blood from spilling,
To such a vile tax they would no'er pay a
shilling.
But the rulers determined their scheme to
pursue,
So they put all the bachelors up at ven
due; A crier was sent through the town to and
fro
To rattle a bell and his trumpet to blow.
And to bawl out to all he might meet on
his way:
"Ho! Forty old bachelors sold here to
.day!" Then presently all the old maids In the
town-
Each one in her very best bonnet and
gown
From thirty to sixty, fair, plain, red and
pale,
Of every description, all flocked to the
sule.
Tho auctioneer then his labors began,
And called out to all as he held up a man:
"How much for a bachelor who wants to
buy?"
In a twink every maiden responded, "I, 1,"
In short, at a hugely extravagant price
The bachelors' were all sold off In a trice,
And forty old maids, some young, some
older.
Each lugged an old bachelor home on her
shoulder. Anon.
POLITICAL POINTS.
The proposed hitching of Susquehanna
county to Lackawanna, and of Wayne to
Northampton, Monroe, Carbon and Pike
Is bitterly opposed by lending Republican
politicians in northeastern Pennsylvania.
They clolm there Is no general demand for
a new deal In this corner of the common
wealth.
In political circles there Is already some
discussion of the question of representation
from this district to the next Republican
national convention. The names of Will
lam Connell nnd John T. Williams as dele
gates, and of Conrad Suhroeder and Major
Everett Warren as alternates have of late
been freely niontloned. These gentlemen
are representative Itpubllcans, and If they
should consent to go, would unquestion
ably make a strong delegation.
The Harrlsburg Patriot yosterday paid
tho following handsome compliment to a
popular young man well known In this
city, nlthough a resident of Olyphant:
Charles P. O'Mulley, of Scranton, Is tin-
youngest member of the house. He Is not
yet 24 years old and Is one of the rising
members of I ho Lackawanna county bar.

Hmokelnss towers and silent wheels,
Today, on tho lonely hill.
And the restless hands are folded,
And the tireless heart Ib still.
Tho eyes that pierced tha darkness
Of the very earth are dim.
And of oil his wldo dominions
There Is only a grave for him;
He wnlked wherover the toller
Had shnpen hlB sturdy tread,
When the scented way of the roses
Was his, If he cared, Instead.
And wherefore hath he striven
If not for gold and gain?
Did he fashion his wheels of Iron
For torture and human pain?

Answer, O tearful eyes!
That ask God's peace and blessing
Upon him where ho lies.
Teal 'twas for you, my brothers, ,
With tireless brain ho strove,
And the smoke from his grimy towers
Was the Incense of his love.
And after the weary struggle
No curse falls on hlB hoad
No trail of blood to tarnlah
The blameless life he led.
Peace and farewell, O Toller!
