Practical Missionary Work.
The announcement of an Intention on
the part of the Pennsylvania railroad
to establish a through train passenger
service between this city and Phlladel
phla by way of VVIlkes-Parre and
Pottsville has not yet. tj our knjwl
edge, been officially confirm?;!: but the
experiment, if tried, oujht to prove
successful. Present facilities for get'
ting from the third to the first city In
Pennsylvania are unnaturally meagre
and the opportunity to m.ik? this jour
ney In approximately a straight line,
without change of cars, would no doubt
be welcomed by the Scranton public, as
It certainly would by those Phlladel
phlans who have occasion to Journey to
this city.
It has long been the custom, born of
convenient facilities of travel and com
munlcation, for Scrantonlans to trans
act business In or with New York.
Philadelphia, equl-distant, has until re
cently been practically eliminated from
the calculations of our business men.
Without discussing the question of su
perlorlty between Philadelphia and
Gotham, It Is clear that for a large city
In Pennsylvania to be entirely out of
touch with the chief center of popula-
tlon In Its own state Is for that city to
rest under numerous disadvantages.
Not the least of these ft a lack of mu
tual understanding. To many Phlla-
delphlans. It Is to be feared that Scran
ton has during all the years of Its re
cent marvelous growth, been little
more than a. seml-c'vlllzed mining
camp, Instead of a thriving city of
metropolitan size, appearance and In
ternal characteristics; while. In poet
ical reciprocity, it is equally probable
that many Scrantonlans have long re
garded the vigorous and progressive
City of Brotherly Love not as the most
representative American city which It
really Is but as a kind of magnified
sleepy village, with neither energy nor
diversification of interests. We re
member with what undisguised sur
prise so well-Informed a Phlladelphlan
as Hon. Charles Emory Smith last
autumn signalized his first visit to
Scranton by noting Its unsuspected
magnitude and commenting upon the
extent of his previous misinformation
with reference thereto; and no doubt a
fair balance could be struck by sending
some observant Scrantonlan upon his
first tour of the newer Philadelphia
which has of late years arisen on the
site of the once "slow" Quaker city.
If the proposed through train service
shall be established, It will undoubtedly
prove to be a practical missionary work
In a much-needed direction.
A New Idea in Law Making.
, Non-appreciation at the right time
seems to be the bane of tho modern re
former. Take, for Instance, the case
of the new owner of the Chicago Tlmes
Hfrald, Mr. Kohlsaaht. Mr. Kohlsaaht,
11 folk concede, Is an honest man with
the best of Intentions. In pursuance of
one of the latter he lttely employed
John W. Ela of Chicago, to go down
to Springfield and assist the Illinois
legislature In the capacity of "amicus
curiae," or friend of the court. Mr.
Ela was Instructed not to supersede the
legislature, nor yet to abuse It, but
simply to help It. He was to advise It,
counsel with. It, Instruct It, warn It;
but under no circumstances was ho to
lay violent hands upon It or refuse to
come to its aid In a moment of crisis.
This project, as any one can see, waa
pre-emlnemtly philanthropic. Mr. Kohl
saaht didn't charge the legislature a
red cent for Mr. Ela's services. Neither
did he put up the price of subscription.
Out of the goodness of his heart, he
volunteered it, and, single and unas
sisted, he paid the freight. Under
these : gratuitous circumstances, It
would naturally be expected that the
Springfield solons would Jump at the
chance to have as an assistant so emi
nent a lawyer as Is Mr. Ela. Rut, alas
for the perversity of our sinful human
nature, the solons Jumped not a little
bit Nay, rather did they do precisely
the reverse. It pains us to say so, but
tha truth is, they kicked, and with
tremendous force. They vowed they
had no need of Mr, Ela's assistance
and that, even If they had had need
the constitution contained no provision
for the temporary appointment of a
third house of one, though that one
happened to be Mr. Kohlsaaht's Mr,
Ela.
This is the status of affairs at last
report: Mr. Ela having been hired by-
Mr. Kohlsnaht to help the, legislature,
declares ho will earn his pay; and the
obstreperous legislature vows that if he
tries to do that, It will smash every
bill In which he Is Interested. We Bin
cerely trust that n forcible collision
may be averted: and ithnt In due time
the sapient solons of Illinois will per
ceive the error of their attitude, and
will be content to take Mr. Elu to their
collective bosom, whether he have ft
certlllcate of election or only the phi!
arrthroplc Mr. Kohlsuuht's persona
check.
A President Who Is Shocked.
According to Secretary Herbert, the
president Is "shocked at the recent
prevalence of insubordination amnng
naval officers." Ait no time since be
fore the war, tt Is said, have there
been so many cases of this character.
The secretary says there are more in
dletments pending now against naval
officers for offenses against the ills
clpllne and good order of thei navy thnn
nt any dime since before the civil war.
Naturally. Hy n singular coincidence
which mupt have escaped Sir. Herbert
th?re lit also less patriotism In the exe
cutive branch of the government than
since "before the war" a good deal
less.
The insubordination nt which the
good Mr. Cleveland Is so greatly
grieved might perhaps yield to the
right kind of treatment. Has he tried
the right kind yet? Has he tried a
policy of honesty, patriotism and can
dor In his treatment of the brave offi
cers of our navy? Has he experl
mented with a course of executive con
duct calculated to Increase their respect
for the American flag, wherever that
banner Is unfurled 'to the breeze; and
Icslgned to add to the satisfaction with
which an honest seaman may content'
plate tho fact that he Is the wearer of
an American uniform? If not, the
present prevalence of Insubordination
may be readily accounted for. without
much shame to those nominally guilty
of It.
As a matter of fact, there Is some'
thing in the tonic life of the mariner
aboard ship which ill fits him to a
policy of emasculated diplomacy and
the petty wreaking of private grudges
by those temporarily in power at Wash'
ington. It Is to be regretted that be
fore picking at the loyalty of these gal
lant tars, Secretary Herbert and the
hocked executive did not first take the
trouble to ascertain whether there was
not something badly awry at their own
end of the cable.
The Time for Action.
"Governor Hastings, In signing the
Fair bill, shows," say3 the Philadelphia
Press, "that he ta alive to the demands
f the time. Ignorant voting Is the
bane and peril of popular government."
We will now," ays the Pittsburg
Times, "have what we ought to have
had years ago. It is intolerable that a
country which has the doors of Its
citizenship wldj open should leave to
choice or chance whether Its children
grow up in Ignorance or knowledge."
Even the Journals which fought this
measure while it was pending before the
legislature, with the single exception of
the Philadelphia Record, are unanimous
In contending that the law should have
a fair test which means first that
every community should have sufficient
school accommodations and, secondly,
that when theso -shall have been pro
vided the law shall be honestly en
forced.
The time for theorizing upon this sub
ject has gone by. It Is now a time for
action. Enlarge the school rooms.
wherever necessary; and then see that
truant children are sent to school.
Father Lambert's Argument.
Father lambert, arguing in the Free
man's Journal In behalf of silver,
makes use of an Illustration which has
local significance. "There are," saya
he, "two kinds of coal mostly In use
bituminous and anthracite. Suppose
the common council of New York city
were to make a law forbidding the use
of bituminous coal for heating pur
poses, restricting It to the production of
gas alone, what would be the result?
It does not require much financial abil
ity to see It. The result of uch a law
would be a fall In the price of bitumin
ous coal and a rise In the anthracite.
Ileason, a utility of one has been de
stroyed and an extra burden has been
mposed on the other."
Thus it l.i, he argues, with gold .and
sliver. The recent tendency of the na
tions to spurn silver for money pur
poses puts a double burden on gold and
throws an unusual volume of silver
bullion on the market, to be used, If
possible, In the arts. But the arts
have no use for so much silver, hence
silver as a commodity declines, while
gold, aa a commodity, becomes con
tinually more valuable. If the nations
should restore to sliver Its function as
a primary money, gold might come
down' and silver go up In value, but the
two metals would meet at a fair medial
point; and thenceforward, bimetall
ism would afford the world a stablo In
stead of a fluctuating measure of
values.
Any one who will take the trouble to
look at the money plank of the last Re
publican national platform will per
ceive that tho Republican party then
declared unequlvocably for bimetall
ism, meaning thereby the "use of both
silver and gold as standard money."
The word "standard," In that connec
tion, is significant. It did not mean
that gold alone should be the standard
money, with silver coined only as an
annex money (in dimes, quarters and
half-dollars, etc.); It meant that the
two metals should stand, by law, on an
equal footing. To put them on an equal
footing. In fact as well as in law, may
require an International blmetalllo
agreement Upon this point there Is a
difference of opinion. But If it should
tho Republican party will do well to
select as Its presidential candidate
next year a man who, If elected, will
honestly try to get the nations to agree
to complete bimetallism; and who will
not go Into office a secret and deter
mined foe of silver.
The last Republican state convention
consisted of 2Ct delegates. The nex
one, and the one following that, will
consist of 2!0 delegates, of which Thlla
dclphiu and Allegheny will 'together
supply 87. The Lackawanna and Lit
zerne delegations will each comprise
two additional members. Altogether
what Is commonly culled the not-thenst
ern group of counties, comprising Urnd
ford, Carbon, Lnckawannn, Luzerne
I'lke, Schuylkill, Susquehanna, Wayne
and Wyoming, will send 33 delegates to
Hartisburg, or six more than will come
front Allegheny, and two leas than half
the Philadelphia ilelejratlun. It Is pos
sible, however, that in the statu con
vention of 1SD0, the Philadelphia delega
tion will not vote In a muss.
Scrunton's new weekly, The Standard,
made Its first appearance on Saturday,
The Standard is a lively publication,
occupying a field of Its own. It makes
a specialty of local Illustrations and
crisp reviews of passing events. The
large sale of the first Issue seems to be
an Indlcatiun that The Standard Is
bound to become one of tho popular
Scranton publications of the day.
-
Under no elrcumrtancts should the
Lackawanna delegation at Harrisburg
fall to protest against the proposed
wanton mutilation of 'ihe map of north
eastern Pennsylvania, which goes un
der the name of a congressional reap
portionment.
Tho chances are growing brighter
every day that the silver question will
be solved by the Republican party, and
solved to the satisfaction of the great
medial masses of the people.

as If he were wondering who the dickens

he seemed to pluck up courage, and he
followed Davis to where the latter him
withdrawn. "You will pardon me," said
Mr. Dana, "but although I am quite sure
I know you, and although your face Is
very familiar to me, I am wholly unable

embarrassed, of course. I!ut ho boned

Dana, thoughtfully. "Certainly ah. yes,

The rumored engagement of Nelllo Grant
Sartorls to General KyU Douglas recalls
to a Chicago Record writer's mind the
benutlfulfy tender attachment which Gen
eral Grant manifested for his daughter.
whoso unhappy first marriage caused the
whole Grant fumily so much misery.
Apropos, It Is related that one tlmo Hugh
Hastings went down to Long Branch to
visit with the Grants. Ho was told that
the general was sitting on tho rocks over
looking tho sea. and surely enough lie
presently discovered Grant perched on a
rock nnd gnzlng In apparent abstraction
over the wntcrs.IlnBtlngs stolo softly up
and put his hands over Grant's eyes, sny-
ng: "Now, guess who It Is!" But Hnst
ngs drew his hands back almost Immedi
ately; they were wet with tears; Grant
was weeping. Hastings was too surprised
to say anything. Grant looked up.
'Hullo, Hughy," said Grant, kindly.
'You are crying, gcrieral! What has hap
pened? What Is the mntter?" demanded
Hastings. Grant came pretty near brenk-
ng down, but by a heroin effort he pulled
himself together. "We got bad news from
England,"' said ho. "Nellie Is unhappy,
and I can't help thinking about It thlnk-
ng about It all the tlmcl I am In trouble,
Hughy, tho greatest trouble of all my
Ife!" It wcro difficult, perhnps Impossi
ble, to fancy a more beautifully pathetic
pluture than that of this foremost man of
his time stealing away by himself and
communing with his love for that daugh

To the uninitiated, Theodore Roosevelt
represents a cross between a prig and a
dude. This, owing to' the comic pupors,
which have heartlessly misrepresented
him. But ho Is neither. He is Just a plain,
sensible, enorgntlc and virile up-to-date
young man, who Is a terror to roguery In
II Its ramifications. Incidentally, It may
bo said that he Is an expert boxer an ac
quirement which once stood him In good
stead, according to Eugene Field. The oc
casion was when Mr. Roosevelt was a
member of the Albany legislature, whero
he made life lively for the corruptlonlsts.
At that time Roosevelt used to make a
practice of taking a morning spin along
the highway In the direction of Troy. Gn
ono of these occasions be stoppod for his
luncheon and beer at tvroad house whlci
happened to be the favorite resort of the
turbulent element. This particular morn
ing the place had been invaded by a gang
of toughs returning from a chlcken-maln
at Troy. As he stood a! the bar Roosevelt
was recognized by the loafers, and one of
them was Indiscreet enough to remark:
"There's that dude!" In the calm
est, most business-like manner Imaginable,
Roosevelt set down his glass, turned
around, faced thearowd and asked: "Who
called me -that name?" There was no an
swer, but the eyes of tho others turned
upon the man who had uttered the In
sulting words. Thereupon Roosevelt said
to the fellow: "Put up your hands, for I
am going to lick you I" The fellow made
a show of rcsletitnse, but almost before
ho knew It he was sprawling upon the
floor. Roosevelt knocked him down three
tlmea before ho would acknowledge that
ho had hud enough, but at last he did sue
for peace. Then turning to the rest of the
crowd, Roosevelt said: "Aow, boys, step
up and all take a drink with me." The
whole- transaction wns so brief and so
calmly dlHpatched that those) toughs
could hardly bullove their eyes. Tho Inci
dent served to render Roosevelt the Idol
of that purtleular element from that time
forward.

SAYINGS OF THE GREAT:
Beauty Is a great thing: but beauty of
garment or house and furniture are tawdry
ornaments compared with domestic love.
All tho elegance In the world will not
make a home; and I would give more for a
spoonful of real heart love thnn for whole
shiploads of furniture and all the gor
gcousness all tho upholsterers in the world
can gather. Oliver Wendell Holmes.
Education, briefly. Is the leading of hu

what Is best out of them; and these two

VALUE OF ADVERTISING.
From the New York Sun.
It Is not too much to say that the devel
opment of modern civilization has been
assisted by no agent so powerful as the
newspaper; and the progress of all trade,
enterprise and Invention, which bar dis
tinguished this century, and more es
pecially the last generation, has been ac
celerated by no means' more effectual than
newspaper advertising. The advertise
ment brings together the seller and the
buyer, the supply and the demand, as In
former times, and to a comparatively lim
ited extent they were brought by the fairs
and market days. By thus facilitating
and vastly Increasing tbetr means of com.
munlcutlon, it' has helped to reduce prices,
to stimulate the competition and emula
tion from which comes Improvement in
production, and to multiply the demand
for tho materials and the appliances which
contribute to the advancement of civiliza
tion. The advertisement carries Im
mediately to the remotest regions Informa
tion formerly obtainable only by the few
and near, or which slowly extended by
hearsay from the great central markets.
With the assistance of Improved means of
transportation and communication, large
ly dependent on It also for the publicity
necessary to their prosperity, It has
changed the whole fucot of modern society,
given uniformity to Its dress and Its wantB,
and opened up to tho Inventor, the manu
facturer and all producers a market which
Is world-wide. The sign of the merchant
Is no longer confined to his Immediate
place of business. He puts It In the news
paper for all men to Bee. Information
requisite for everybody is obtainable by
the greut muss uf tho public from the ad
vertisement only. Only by means of the
advertisements can they both supply and
make generally known private wants
upon which their welfare depends. They
serve as a labor exchunge, a directory, a
bulletin, a price list, and a meune of ob
tainable, distinction otherwise Impossible
for tradei'B undl producers.
The benefit thut comes to a great news
paper from Its advertising Is Infinitesimal
as compared with that received by the ad
vertisers themselves and by the public.
