"Wt ought to realize by this time that
we should not do our work nor make our
loin in Europe. Let na place what op
tions we have with our own capitalists,
end our orders with our own manufac
turers, who, in the past, have been always
abundantly uble to meet every need and
demand of the government and of the
people. "-Governor William Mckinley,
at Hartford.
Send Bootllers to the Rear.
It may lie doubted If at any prior
time there has been as much complaint
among the people at the jirevalenee of
bribery in legislative assemblies as
there U today. The -recent Ifarrlsbura;
eetaslon was not free from It; the recent
New York session was notorious In this
respect; and the Importunities of lobby
ists became so boM and ofTenHve In
Connecticut that th senate of that
state has Just passed a bill providing
penaHies ranging from Jl.ttoO to J.'.OOO
and from five to ten years' Imprison
ment for anyone wilfully Interfering
witn the passage of any legislative
business, or for attempting to unduly
Influence legislation, or any legislator
In the performance of his duty.
Not less offensive Is the Impudence of
the paid agents of certain corporations
In issuing orders to members of city
councils, and In otherwise usurping the
functions of local legislation. An in
Ktance may be cited In our own munici
pality. In the case ft the man who is
j.ald a considerable salary by the
Scranton Traction company un.l al
lowed a considerable latitude with that
corporation's cash box chit fly, it Lj be
lieved, for the purpose of superintend
ing the proceedings of the two branches
of our city councils. We do not blame
him for earning his salary In this way;
nor do we attach much bla'me to his
employers, .who have to all appear
ances become hardened beyond the
reach of fine qualms of conscience.
Both accept an existing condition, and
naturally proceed to make the most of
It. But it is at times a trifle disquiet
ing to reflect that the lOO.OM) citizens of
Scranton must suffer their affairs to be
pissed upon by eftnlasarle- of a greedy
corporation, which has never by any
vote of the people 'been entrusted with
the government of Scranton.
There are, of course, more subtle
forms of mischief than this, ine sta
tioning at state capitals by secret or
other organizations of legislative com
mittees and agents with power, not per
haps to bribe members with cash, but
certainly to cajole them with promises
of support or to intimidate them by
means of threateifed vengeance at the
polls Is Just ns vicious a custom us Is
the outright barter and sale in votes,
and stands in Just as urgent need of cor
rection. The various legislative assem
blies, state and municipal, which are
afflicted wlrti such vermin owe it first
.uoiiineives ana next, to uie people to
Institute sweeping renovations and re
forms. The boodler and the bulldozer need
lo be kicked to the rear.
A Drastic Temperance Pleasure.
The recent refusal of ex-President
Harrison to accept a fee of $10,000 from
the Indiana Liquor Dealers' league con
ditional tipon tils taking charge of the
legal fight which ithe league proposes
to make upon the Nicholson temper
ance law In that Btate newly directs at
tention to thin interesting measure.
Beverol, months ago we briefly Indicated
its nature, but it may be worth while
to repeat the summary.
Under the new law all slot machines,
the throwing of dice, and the playing
of cards or other gamea of chance in
the saloon are Interdicted, Billiard ond
pool rooms cannot be run In connection
'with thn retiilllnfr r.f Inlnvtania nn,.A
In separate rooms, the'same to be par
ticularly stipulated In the granting of
the license. Games for checks or for
anything else calculated to Increase the
business of the bar ore prohibited.
Restaurants connected with saloons are
subject to the saine restrictions os the
saloon, and when the saloon closes the
restaurant must do the same. No par
titions will bo permitted in the bar
rooms, ami the guzzling must be done
li jriaue viciw VI 'tilt; Rircru Jl ml
times must a View of the Interior of
the saloon be unobstructed from the
outside. This means the 'removal of
rtalned glass- window fronts and the
customary screens which shut off the
bar from the passing public,' Minors
cannot buy Intoxicants for themselves
or for others, nor can they be employed
as bartenders or serve in any capacity
In the saloon. Another strong feature
of the law Is Its local option, feature,
which makes It possible for any neigh
borhood opposed ito retailing Intoxl
: cants to bar out the saloon, and pre
vent the Issuance of a license either by
county or city authority. The law is
safeguarded by the enactment , of
stringent penalties.
Naturally, such a law Is not relished
by the liquor dealers of Indiana.' Ad
vices from Indianapolis are to the ef
fect that th wholesale liquor and the
brewery interests of the state are pr
purtng for a struggle to overthrow this
Uw. The State Liquor league, domin
ated by the wholesale and brewery In
fluence, bus levied an assessment upon
every saloon-keeper in the Plate, and
officials of that organization boast that
$7.1.000 Is already in hand with which
to open, the battle. The programme Is
to meet the law on the eve -of Its en
forcement and push through u test case
to the court of last resort. It was the
conduct before the Supreme court of
this test case that Oenerul Harrison re
fused to undertake; but Ills refusal sim
ply opened the way for Senator Voor-
hees to earn a nlde fee.

An American Silver Policy.
We recently reproduced on this page
fome salient points In a strong dfllv
ance by Archbishop lrelund ugalnst the
Independent free coinage by this coun
try of the world's sliver. t the ratio of
IS to 1. In the New York Kreeman
Journal Kev. Dr. Lanvbert. also a noted
clergyman of the American Catholic
church, takes Issue with the archbishop
to the extent that the latter regards
international concurrence as essential
to the solution of this currency problem.
Says Dr. Lambert:
A country Hke ours, possessed of bound
less resources, with unlimited capacity or
production, unhampered by unities '.liat
eat away the stibstuncf of the people, five
from those complications which may at
any moment set Kurope in a blaze of war,
does not depend lor Its Drosperlty on what
the monometalllsts of Kurope limy or unk
not do. AecurJlng to the statistician.
Mulhall. we an today the leading na:lon
of the world. We ure abundant1)' able and
can well afford to frame our policy with
respect to our monetary affairs Independ
ently of the rest of the world Wc as a
nation cainot consent to be made a ncre
cog In the wheel of the world's Com
merce. The archbishop thinks that an)
change whatever in our flnanclul policy at
present without the consent of foreign
nations would be detrlnvju'al lo our pro.
parity. It might be askel here, what rea
sonable hope of a betterment of our pres
ent unfortunate condition cau we have
from a continuance of our present linan
clal policy, since it was this very policy
that brought on the condi.ion of affairs
that Is so bitterly complain d of ? We do
not believe In financial homeopathy, or
that the continuance of an uvil is he Iwst
way to cure It. Has this great republic
sunk so far In nc financial quagmire that
we can do nothlnr,- for our own relief, nut
must cry out to Holland, France a.id
Uermany, "Save us, or we perish?" If so
we are at the end of the great experiment
and the repuollo is a f tllure. I!ut we do
not belieye It.
"While Dr. Lambert's sentiments are
properly tinctured with self-reliant
Americanism, his case would be made
stronger by a definite statement of
what he propoies as an improvement
upon the present condition. Not free
and unlimited silver coinage at the
ratio of 1C to 1, evidently, eince that
would be to run a needless risk of los
in our gold and thus passing to silver
monometallism, as hurtful In Its' way
as Is the opposite extreme, r.ut If nol
that, what?
lA-t us briefly suggest an American
solution of the currency problem: First.
er.act a high tariff duty on all forms of
Imported silver, sufficient to keep It all
out. Second, admit to coinage, at a
ratio to be determined by congress,
such of the American sliver product as
would not be required In the arts, or, nt
present rate of productldn, about tM,
000,000 to $40,000,000 a year. Third, con
fer special trade privileges upon na
tions agreeing by treaty to stand by the
United States In an effort toi secure an
International bimetallic agreement.
Fourth, then go ahead. The rest would
be easy. Our gold would stay with us,
since there would be no profit to any
body iii trying to force it out. The west
and south would revive under the influ
ences of an expanding currency; and
as their industries developed we would
have larger surplusages to sell In Ku
rope and thus get a larger balance of
trade, payable In gold. Gold would tlui-t
accumulate In this country at the fame
time that American silver was being
well taken care of; and In a few years,
under the stress of our fierce competi
tion, debt-burdened Europe .ttfjuld be
forced to remonetlze Its silver or go to
the wall.
Thus, It stems lo u. the United
States could solve the money question
Independently of Europe, and be In ev
ery reaped the gainer. Hut will It huve
tht? courage to make the attempt?
Time ulone can tell.
The Worm Has Turned.
The much-derided Juror may be
sneered at once too often. An umuslng
Instance Illustrative of this fact may be
cited In Pittsburg, where Judge White
recently, In churglng a grand Jury,
scored unmercifully the grand Jury sys
tem, und sharply declaimed agulnst the
carelessness und extravagance of the
average grund Inquest. The Jurors thus
admonished said nothing at the time,
but when they came to bring In a re
port, their secretary handed up the fol
lowing very valuable paper:
In answer to adverse criticism, we be;
leave to say, that we are not acting as
grand Jurors of our own volition, but In
reaponse to a precipe Issued to each one
commanding us severally to lay aside our
business und unswer and perform the du
ties of a grand Juror at this term. This
Jury Is composed of bhslness men und citi
zens from various parts of thn county,
some of whom are giving their time at
great pecuniary loss. Not one of us Is
learned In the law, nor are any of us poli
ticians with personal ambition, who mlcbt
prefer a record of speed In the discharge
of thn business, rather than Justice In the
consideration of cases laid before them.
No member of this Jury had friends to re
ward or enemies to punish, and the de
rision reached In every case was based on
the evidence before us, the exercise of our
best Judgment, and a sincere regard for
the sanctity of our oaths. We held In
high estimation the charge and Instruc
tions of the learned Judge presiding, and In
no case were' we unmindful of the sugges
tion of the court as to economy in time
and conelderatlonrot the county's interests
in matter of costs; and our work has been
aa rapid as consistence with Justice would
permit, and our findings in accordance
with our best Judgment and conscience.
It has been suggested that grand Juries
have become useless bodies, and we beg
to concur In this view, If the conscience
as well as the functions of the Jury may
be directed and controlled.
Contrary to expectation, the court
made no comment upon thlj report, but
contented itsslf with dismissing the Jur
ota with the customary expression of
thanks. Its silence, however, was
doubtless from necessity rather than
choice. There dues not seem to be any
thing which It could hove said. There
are grand Julius and grand Juries. Hut
when Intelligent men ure drawn by legal
summons away from their business pur
suits and required to donate a consld
eiublc fraction of their abilities to the
court, It probably does not become the
latter to look Its) Rift horse too critically
in I he mouth.
The forthcoming; annuul report of the
United States civil service commission
will show that the whole number of
persons regularly employed In the
civil service of this country Is about
I'OO.Ooo. Of it hose, approximately one
fourth are ln the- classified service sub
ject to competitive examination:! under
the civil service- rules. Of those of the
unclassified service 22,000 are laborers,
ri.nOO are apfmlnted by the president,
subject to confirmation by the sen
ate, 1.500 are in ithe legislative branch
of the government und L'.titiO ure In the
Judicial branch. The growth of civil
service. reform during ithe pust score
of years bus been gratifying!)' steady,
despite the virulent opposition to It
which comes from spollsi-lovlng politi
cians afraid to seek for offlce on a basis
of genuine deserving.

Guwrnor Morton has signed the Far
sons bill relative to mileage books on
New York utate railroads. The new
law provides that every railroad cor
poration operating a rullrond In the
state, the line or lines of which are more
than 100 miles in length, and which Is
authorized by law to charge a maxi
mum fare of more than 2 cents per mile
and not more than II cents per mile,
shall issue mileafre books entitling the
holder thereof to travel 1,000 miles on
the line or lines of such railroad, for
which the corporation may charge a
sum not to exceed 2 cents per mile. A
law to the same effect, with proper pen
alties, would be a good one for Pennsyl
vania also.
The refusal of the Philadelphia court
to grant the Times of that city a re
hearing lit the ex-Mayor Smith libel
suit seem at this distance unnecessarily
drastic. Kven conceding all that the
plaintiff claims, it is difficult to believe
that his character was Injured to the
extent of JiS.OOD by libelous publica
tions made after he had been Impeached
for the misappropriation of public funds
and dishonorably dismissed from the
military service for Irregularities as
colonel of the Third regiment, if upon
the heels of these misdoings his rem
nant of character was worth $45,000,
what would Mayor Smith's character
have been worth at Its best?
The Chicago Times-Herald Is to be
congratulated upon Its good judgment
In selecting us Its special London cor
respondent so worthy a journalist us
Khvyn A. Barron, long time Chicago's
foremost dramatic, crlllc. The Times
Herald Is Ithe only paper outside of New
York, with the exception of the Roston
Herald, which maintains u special Lon
don correspondent, writing exclusively
for Us columns. Indeed, It Is a matter
of note that the ITnited States Is repre
sented In Loudon by at least six of these
journalistic ambassadors, whereas Kng
lish Journalism has but one In this
country.
Says tho Wilkes-Uarre Iteconl: "It
will be either Hlce- or Willard, of course,
for they ure the- only candidates from
the anthracite regions. That It will be
Rice Is very evident from the very na
ture of things. The new court, to jus
tify Its creation, must be an able one
anJ win the confidence of the people."
Does the Kecord mean to intimate t hut
If It were Willard, the new court would
not be an able one and would fall to win
the eonlldenoe of the ipeople? Come,
neighbor, fight honorably and fairly.

When asked whom he favored for thn
Hi publican preHldeullal nomination,
Senator Porter, of Philadelphia, re
plied: "1 am for city and state." The
senator should now forward it diagram
of this Interview.
"Seni-tor Quay would make an excel
lent state chairman; Cut It'scems to us
that this year'u Knme Is scarcely porth
such valuable ammunition.
POLITICAL (10S81P.
Congressman .luck Robinson Is evidently
spoiling for unotlier tight. Talking to a
Pittsburg interviewer tlie other day- he
predicted a breuk between Sfnutor Quay's
friends and the friends of Martin, Mugee,
Porter anil HuMInK In lie next stale con
vention, and when asked where he would
be In such a contingency said: "Young
man, it pays a politician not to think of old
scorns sometimes, when he's In a. new
scrap. Politics, you know, make strange
bed fellows, and you need not be dumb
founded If you would find me lining up be
side Mr. tinny at t.he convention. Mind, t
do not say 1 will, i have not decided yet.
Hut when the convention meets I'll show
where I stand and so will lny friends."
"Do you think the fight will hurt the Re
publican party in the. state?" "Not a bit
of It," said Mr. Itoblnsou, without hesita
tion, "Not a bit of H. We need something
of the kind to stir up the party. The Mate
conventions for several years have been
too tume. Take .the six judgeships that
We will till. 1 want to see a fight on every
one of them. A man who cannot go before
the convention and win after a fight has
no business on the bench. I do not believe
It would be good policy for the convention
to indorse the men that Hastings appoints
by nominating them quietly and without
giving new men n. chance. A fair nnd
square scrap for honors, lenvln o
memories, in what I want to see." The
Media congressman must hum a qu.ai
conception of the requirements of a suc
cessful Judge, and of the proprieties of the
Judicial office.

The next Republican state convention
will consist of 319 delegates, a gain of
twenty-five over the last gubernatorial
convention. The representation Is baaed
on the vote cast at the gubernatorial elec
tion last fall, one delegate being allotted
to each legislative district for every 2.000
Republican vote and an additional dele
gate for a fraction exceeding 1,000 votes;
each district being entitled to at least one
delegate. Philadelphia la entitled to seven
additional delegates and Allegheny county
to three on the basis of representation.
The Finn legislative district of Allegheny
gains a delegate and the Fourth district
two. In Philadelphia the Eighteenth and
Twenty-seventh districts each girt two ad
ditional delegates and the First, Twenty
second and Twenty-third one each,
Schuylkill, Westmorelund, Lawrence,
Fayette, Indiana, Northampton, Beaver,
Delaware, Clarion, Clearfield and Cumber
land nre each entitled to an additional
delegate. Luzerne and Lackawanna galu
three delegates each and Bradford and
Rutler each lose one.
II II II
The Patriot says concerning the Superior
court light: "Senator Fllnn, of Allegheny,
and Hunk Commissioner Qllkeson and
other members of Governor Hustings' cab
inet were closeted with David Martin und
the governor Tuesday night at the execu
tive mansion. It Is said on the highest
authority that the purpose of the meeting
was to select six Republican Judges on the
Superior court bench. It is claimed the
appointees will be Judge Wlckhain, of
Heaver; ex-Judge Reedor, of Easton;
Bumuel A. Davenport, of Krle; R. N. Wil
lard, of Scranton; George B. Oiiady, of
Huntingdon, und likely Judge McPherson,
of this city. It Is believed the minority
representative will either be ex-Judge
Thompson or Henry J. McCarthy, of Phil
adelphia." 1
II II II
Thn Hurrlsburg Patriot Is kind enough
to reprint the Hcrunton Republican's re
cent diatribe on Uovernor Hustings with
the addendum that "this comes from Con
gressman Scranton's newspaper, which Is
significant. Mr. Scranton Is a political
force In the northeast and his newspaper
has wide circulation und influence," which
is somewhat In the nature of news.
II II. II
It Is reported nt Ilarrisburg that Sena
tor guuy will himself be a candidate for
state chalrinnn this full. Ttie adminis
tration, It Is said, Is Inclined to support
Judge (lllkcrt'un; but since he has been ap
pointed superintendent of banking it la
thought that he will not be a candidate for
a second term.
II II II
The Wllkes-Barre Record perceives the
drift of things when It says: 'While your
uncle Joe Scranton alms at Hastings with
one barrel, he Is trying to bring down
Willard with the other."

TJIF. STRAW PARLOR.
Way up at tha top of a big stock of straw
Was the cunningest parlor that ever you
saw!
And there you could lie when aweary of
play
And gossip or laze In tho coziest way;
No mntter how careworn or sorry one's
mood
No worldly distraction presumed to In
trude. As a refuge from onerous mundane ado
1 think I upprove of straw parlors, don't
you '.'
A swallow with Jewels aflame on her breast
On that straw parlor's celling had buildcd
her nest;
And she flew in and out all the happy day
long. And twittered the soothlngest lullaby
song.
Now some might suppose that that beau
tiful bird
Performed for her babies the music they
heard:
I reckon she twittered her repertoire
through
For the folk In the little straw parlor,
don't you?
And down from a rafter a spider had hung
Some swings upon which he Incessantly
swung.
He cut up such didoes such antics ho
played
Way up In the air, and was never afraid!
He never made use of his horrid old sting.
But was just upon earth for the tun of the
thing!
I deeply regret lo observe that so few .
Of 1heso good-natured Insects are met
with, don't you?
And, down In the strawstack, a weo little
mite
Of a cricket went chirping by day and by
night;
And further down, still, a cunning blue
moil Me
In a snug little nook of that strawstack
kept house!
When the cricket went "chirp," Miss
Mousle would squeak
"Coino In," and a blush would enkindle
her cheek!
She thought silly girl! 'twas a beau come
to woo.
Hut 1 guess It was only the cricket, don't
you?
So the cricket, the mouse and the motherly
bird
Made as soothlngsome music as ever you
heard ;
And, meanwhile, that spider by means of
his swings
Achieved most astounding gyrations and
things!
No wonder the little folk liked what they
saw
And loved what they heard In that parlor
of straw! '
With the mercury up to 102
In thn shade, I opine they Just slzzzled,
don't you?
But once there Invaded that Eden of straw
Theevllest Feline that ever you saw!
She pounced on that cricket with racj
promptitude
And she tucked him away where he'd do
the most good;
And then, reaching down to the nether-
most house,
She deftly expiscated little Miss Mouse!
And, as for the Swallow, she shrieked and
. withdrew
I rather admire her discretion, don't you?
Now listen: That evening a cyclone ob
' -tulned,
And the mortgage was all on that farm
that remained!
Darn, strawstack and spider they all
blew away,
And nobody knows where they're at to
this day I
And, as for the little straw parlor, I fear
It was wafted clean off this sublunary
' sphere! i
I really Incline to a hearty "boo-hoo"
When I think of this tragical ending,
don't you?
