Reform that Reform.
The cry for "reforms" is always pop
ular In this country. The condition
of the people Is never so favorable that
they do not hope for an Improvement.
Political parties live and thrive on
their promises to reform existing con
ditions. Political leaders rise to the
surface and win the applause of the
masses by their loud professions In
behalf of reforms. There Is a vast
amount of humbug In the "reform"
business In politics. It la a fact worth
noting that the really great men who
have been powerful as leaders In poli
tics in the United States were not "re
form" shrlekers. Men like Daniel Web
ster. Henry Clay, Charles Snmuer.
Abraham Lincoln, James G. Blaine and
others that" might be named, never
were noisy champions of "reforms."
They formulated great policies In the
ala Irs of government, created meas
ures and principles for the guidance of
the political parties to which they ad
hered, and championed policies for the
development, prosperity and happiness
of the nation.
The political leader who chatters
noisily about "reform" Is In almost
every instance simply a demagogue. In
a majority of cases, too, the reform
shrleker require closer watching than
any other class of men active in poli
tics. There is scarcely ever a time in
any city or statu In this country when
the people have not more or less cause
to demand reforms, but they never
have and never will secure them
through the efforts of the professional
reform shrleker in partisan politics.
Ileal reforms are usually secured when
the people set aside the professional
reformers and elect to office honest
men who do not seek offices but accept
them a matter of public duty. When
the people do that they get reforms
that reform.
It is significant of the sincerity of
Pennsylvania's Republicanism that
within a fortnight following the most
hotly contested fight In the annals of
the party, the entire commonwealth is
at peace.
In Defence of the Trolley.
Now that the trolley as an Implement
of progress seems about to be discard
ed, in the large cities at least, In favor
of the storage battery or the under
ground conduit, some one has deemed
It not too late to point out the fact that
the trolley has been greatly misrepre
sented In the' press. Apart from Its
helpfulness to sanitary purposes, In en
abling the overcrowded poor of our
stuffy cities to get out Into country air
and sunshine at small cost, the trolley,
according to this defender, whose ar
ticle is seen In the Chicago Record, Is
not half so dangerous to life and limb
as it has been credited with being. We
append the reasons:
"When the trolley traffic Is compared
with the death rate on the great steam
roada, the proportion Is astonlxhinglji
In favor of the widely denounced trol
ley. This Is Jlie more notable as the
steam roads have their tracks guarded
from the intrusion of pedestrians to a
great extent. Tet, In spite of the ele
vation of the crossings at the more
dangerous points, the adoption of the
block signal system and other elaborate
and Ingenious precautions for the pro
tection of life, the New Tork Central
railroad reports one death for every
69,000 passengers which It carries; the
Delaware, Iackawanna and Western,
one death ' to every S7.000; the New
Tork, lake Erie and Western, one
death to every 119,000. If .the trolleys
of any city made a death rate like that
there would be a riot In the' city until
the cars were removed from the streets.
In Brooklyn, where the trolley death
rata Is relatively high, the proportion
Is only one in every i,135,000 persons
carried. Tet no one hears anything
about the Ventral Juggernaut' or the
'Erie Juggernaut' There Is good tra
ditional warrant for giving the prince
of darkness his due, and these figures
may be borne In mind when unlimited
denunciation of the trolley Is in prog-
Tet after all, this prove nothing. In
asmuch as practical Jest has" demon
strated that even safer results In rapid
transit can be obtained by the use of
km primitive methods -of propulsion,
the great trouble with the trolley is Its
Inevitable overhead wire, with Its tin'
sightly pole and cross-bar concoml
tants. The objection to It Is rather on
this score than on the plea of fatality,
A certain amount of bloodshed seems
to be civilisation's expected price for
comforts and Improved facilities. So
long as the comfort of rapid transit
spares the majority of Its partici
pants, society will 'doubtless tolerate
and even applaud the street car. Hut
society has a rlcht to expect thnt thh
Intermittent killing of Its unfortunate
small fraction will be accomplished as
gracefully as possible, and with some
artistic pretense of regret.
By and by It will dawn on our British
friends that money spent on bucking
the Yankee yacht-deslRner Is simply
money wasted.
The Defender's Victory.
While to landsmen the clean vic
tory of the Amerlcun cup-defender on
Saturday, over the British yacht. Vol
kyrle, la significant mainly in a senti
mental sense, as Indicative of the gen
eral superiority of Brother Jonathan's
democratic Institutions over -the effete
traditions of the old world, It Is by no
means without practical value. The
yacht Is to aquatic sports what the
trained race horse Is to land oports;
and the nation which surpasses In
either Is not likely to lag 'behind In
the more prosaic competitions of busi
ness or diplomacy.
Saturday's victory does not assure
American ownership of the cup; for
there ore four more races to be run,
But In view of the fact that the De
fender's triumph was won In Valkyrie
weather, there does not seen to be
much reason to doubt the final out
come. When the battle shall have end
ed, It will be In order to-move for a
needed -modification of present yacht
models, which are needlessly gigantic
In their dimensions.
-
One cheerful fact In connection with
the presidential outlook Is that of all
the Republican candidates, not one Is
unfit.
Women and the Church.
Another Methodist conference the
Central German, of Ohio has decided,
by a large majority, not to elect women
as delegates to the general conference.
We are not Informed as to the reasons
advanced for this action, If, Indeed,
reasons there were. But the Incident
in no wise disturbs our faith that wo
man will yet acquire the same showing
of equal justice in the church that she
Is rapidly securing In the secular pro
fessions and vocations long monopo
lized by man.
When we consider the overwhelming
debt that organized Christianity today
owes to woniankind, and remember that
there Is scarcely a phase of religious
endeavor which could survive for a day
the sudden subtraction of feminine
energy, patience and tact, our wonder
grows that opposition should anywhere
arise to the sending of women as dele
gates to the supreme tribunals of
ecclesiastical authority. Who Is It that
today sustains the'Protestant churches?
Who devises the ways and means
whereby the financial requirements
are met? Who, In fine weather and in
storm, never fails to attend the prayer
meeting, the Sunday evening service,
the church auxiliary functions, the for
eign and home mission meetings? Who
superintends the myriad details of re
ligious and philanthropic work? Man?
Not a bit of It. Woman, devoted wo
man. And yet, the masculine bene
ficiaries of her unselfishness seem In
many Instances to have combined to
deprive her of participation In the con
spicuous rewards.
These are days of rapid progress, In
religion not less than In business, poli
tics and art. The spirit of unrest is
abroad, knocking down old abuses and
setting up new standards. Con
scientious opponents of woman suffrage
In the councils of the church will one
day admit their mistake, when they
shall have seen the actual demonstra
tion of the good that will follow wo
man's ecclesiastical liberation.
As the case stands now, Senator
Quay's presidential preference obvious
ly lies' between Reed and McKlnley,
with ttie accent strong on Reed.
riake It Short, Sharp and Decisive.
The Pittsburg Commercial-Gazette
suggests as a reason why the Republi
can national convention should be held
at least five months prior to next year's
presidential election that this interval
will be needed In order to enable the
party to make an adustment of the
frictions and disappointments of the
convention. This argument might hold
good If the present candidates for the
Republican nomination were embit
tered against each other, after the
fashion of earlier campaigns. But they
are not. We do not know of a single
candidate who, after a fair defeat in
open convention, would go to his tent
and sulk. A candidate who would do
that could not, as politics goes today".
command a following.
The need of a late convention Is ap
parent to business men, who dread
presidential elections with an earnest
ness born of prolonged experience with
their disturbing effects upon general
commerce. If the convention bo not
held until September, the ensuing cam
paign cannot be otherwise than brief
and brisk. If it be held In May or
June, It will be practically Impossible
to hold the campaigners In check until
early autumn. The 'Republican party,
as the party of business prosperity,
could not adopt a more appropriate or
politic polloy than to defer to the wide
spread sentiment In favor of late con
ventions and a short campaign.
Walter Lyon affirms that he does
not want to be the governor of Penn
sylvania; but until the other 499,999 Re
publicans of the state are heard from,
the place need not go begging In 1898.
Need a Character Qualification.
The cause of woman suffrage has
won In the Chicago Times-Herald an
Influential and ardent champion. ' It
says: "Where the experiment has been
tried the presence of women at the
polls has not failed to purify the elec
tion atmosphere; neither have they
suffered any perceptible deterioration
In self-respect or womanly dignity by
their exposure to masculine political
methods. Their conduct during the
last state election In Colorado and their
deportment while exercising their new-ly-ojcqulred
elective franchise In Illi
nois Indicate that woman Is capable
of projecting Into our political contests
an element of dignity and cleanliness
without suffering any impairment of
the womanly attributes that are the
adornment of her sex. Whatever we
may think of the proposition to ex
tend universal suffrage to women It
must be admitted that their decent
and respectable exercise of the mea
ger privileges already grudgingly ac
corded them do not support the con
tention that woman Is unfit for the
ballot or that she will fall to elevate
the tone of our political contests." This
Is a beautiful tribute and as applied to
educated women no doubt true. But
the truth Is that we need a character,
rather than a sex qualification for vot
ing. The .Minneapolis Times has Just is

devoted to an exposition of the mag
nificent natural advantages of the
great north-west, and comprising a feat
of Journalistic enterprise equal to any

Our policy of partiality for Spain In

COMMENT OF THE PBESS. .
Our Petty Tyrannies.
Chicago Times-Herald: "An article
called "The Petty Tyrants of America' In
the last North American embodies these
remarks: 'The Frenchman honestly be
lieves himself to be the only truly civil
ized Inhabitant of tihe globe! the English
mun thinks he Is the only moral one, und
I have no doubt thut the American flat
ters himself that he is ithe freest.' Thut
this view is utterly mistaken, and that
the American Is a slave to petty tyran
nies which neither a Frenohman nor un
Englishman would stand for a moment
our censor goes on to prove. And :n many
cases he is exactly right. Suffering from
excruciating heait, bearing meekly the In
dignities of the youth who wakes you
from a refreshing nap to Inform you that
he has laid a magazine on your la-,), or a
sample of a hickory nut; submitting to
'penitentiary' rules In hotels such as:
'You nhall be hungry from 8 to 10 a. m.,
from 1 to 3 p. m and from 6 to 8 p. m. ;'
obevlng meekly the 'lady waitress,' who,
holding up her finger In the dining room,
does not allow you 'to tarry to speak to a
fr'.enrt on your solemn march, far from
everybody, to your lonely scat; all these
are easily recognized as a few of the
smaller ills we resignedly bear. We do,
as a nation, put up with all sorts of liber
ties which we ought to resent. There la
no reason why an American should have
half the affronts he meekly bears put
upon him by uncivil public servants every

Illcyelca ns Baggage.
Chicago Times-Herald! "Just what
rights a man with a wheel may claim for
himself on a railway train will probably
have to be decided by 'the courts. On some
roads bicycles are curried on passenger
trains without objection, but a charge is
exacted for their itransportatlon. This,
of course, makes the railway company re

good many of the roada, however, adhere

POLITICAL POINTS.
Senator Quay is no longer the great
and good man, On the estimation of Demo
cratic papers of Pennsylvania, that they
pictured him a few weiks ago. They will
think less und less of him as the caiu
pulKII progresses.
Congressman "Jack" Kob'.nson, It Is now
said, is Chairman Quuy'a latest choice for
governor. If "Jack" should ever till the
gubernatorial chair, Colonel Quay will
know "how it feels to. own u governor."
The six Demorrutle candidates for Su
perior court judges will not be nominated
"in a bunch" as the Republican nominees
were. Hut live of the Democrats will go
down In a bunch next November.
The Republicans of Carbon eonnty have
been overhauling their party rules, but
will continue to elect their delegates to
the state convention a full year in ad
vance, which is all wrong.
Some of the dear good people of Phila
delphia would like o know who has
spragged the wln-'H "f that l.exow com
mittee. Th-y haven't I -volvel Hince the
state convention.
Tho Democrats of Ohio nppear to have
only one man to run for governor und his
name Is Campbell. All the other fellows
are willing Campbell should be defeated,
year ufter year.
It Is understood that Judge Peter P.
Smith, of l,nkawnnna. cun have a place
on the Democratic ticket for Superior
court judge if he will take It. He Is used
to defeats.
F.x-Oovernor Pattlson would accept the
Democratic nomination for president next
year and he would, If nominated, come as
near un election as any Democrat in the
country.
Ex-Chairman Cooper, the one-time red-'ht-aded
and hopeful, expects to be a dele
gale to the next national convention. He
Is one of Senator Cameron's admirers.
President Cleveland will not admit that
he would accept another nomination. He
is in the hands of his friends, and that
does not Include one David B. Hill.
Senator Elkins Is authority for tho
stH'tement that West -Virginia will remain
a Republican state. Deluware will lapso
as the result of Republican folly.
An attempt will lie made to u-n out
some of the Philadelphia inembei of ren
fcTPSs. The deleg:t.m from that clly
could easily be stroii:;t;ier.e.
The Wllkes-Bnrre Itecord has named ex
Attorney (Seneral Palmer ns one of the
delegates to the Republican national con
vention. Well, why not?
If Pennsylvania expects to give the
country a president within the next dozen
years she ought o begin to grow some
presidential timber.
Governor Htstings stands lust as high In
the estimation of the people of Pennsyl
vania as he would if he had defeated Quay
In the convention.
Mr. Kohrbach, of Northumberland, has
already been slated for state treasurer in
18A7. He ought to take the best of care
of thnt slate.
Those who expect to see Chairman Quay
running a campaign without the use of
money will doubtless be disappointed.
Ex-Lleutennnt Governor Black has
abandoned the hope of Democratic suc
cess In Pennsylvania this year.

Two Good Relies
FIRST--Make your money honestly.
There never was any happiness obtained by the aid of gains ill-gotten. Every
dollar eamed of honest toil buys a hundred cents' worth of happiness in every
market on earth. A hundred thousand dollars wrongfully possessed can't buy a
cen't worth of heartfelt pleasure anywhere.
SECOND Spend your money carefully.
While you are earning it by making something which you probably don't want
somebody else is equally busy making something you do want. Don't be worsted
in the trade. Until you find the best place to spend it hold the dollar so tightly
that the eagle screams and the Goddess of Liberty expostulates.
