Thf fonr of our esteemed afternoon cr.ritempnrnry, the Times, that the Ite publirans of this county will forgret to R-o to the po!b next month Is an amiable hallueliiAtion. Larrsard republicans ore ra-ct!es, the year before presiden tial year. For a State Police. The Pittsburg Commercial-Gazette recall attention to what experience has often proved to be a weak point In cur police cystem. when It asserts the n.?cass;ty, especially In the large manu facturing andminingstates, fora police organization that will take the place of the obsolete and utterly useless sher iff's posse "something," as It says, "that will come In between the munici pal constabulary and the state militia. "When dangerous disturbances, Involv ing largo bodies of men and affeiting manufacturing, transportation and oth r Interests, are either In progress or Immediately apprehended, there should Tie a body of effective men, well trained and equipped, who could be moved promptly to the scene of disorder or rtangcr. It Is not desirable evpn If lawful to use the national guard for that kind of service, and experience Ties shown the futility as well as the danger of relying upon the local police In such emergencies." It Is fortunately true that at this mo ment the commonwealth Is free of those frequently recurring collisions between prnployer and workmonr which, from time to time, emphasize the necessity of the maintenance of an adequate re serve police force, such as can readily "rn-.d rapidly be massed at any point, ke fore the commission of threatened out rages on property or life. Indeed, the prevalent tranquility, ,now that we pauss to think of It, Is quite unusual, and would, in itself, afford an attrac tive rubjeet for Investigation by the student of social problems. But there Is eminent ' sanction for utilizing these pleasurable lulls In preparation for new emergencies; and fhe growing feeling of reluctance on the part cf the national guard to be used for purely police purposes a feelinjr by r.o means discreditable, when correctly understood suggests that the next Irclrlature ought to yield serious con pMprotion to the proposition of a separ. ate state pnllc?. A number of states frava Already achieved progress in this rlirectlort; and the reasons are many why Pennsylvania should not long lag In the rear. Th position assumed by the Dem ocratic party In New York state this year Is nothing lers than an attempt to nullify the decalogue. It will be found, we fancy, that the decalogue e t 111 has a place In American politics. Practical Education. The Daughters of the American (Ttex-olutlon at West Chester have by resolution recommended "that a suita ble text-book be provided and Instruc tion 'be given In all schools throughout Chester county In the principles of the United States government and In the hlarh and Imperative duties of citizen ehlp." The" resolution 3os not de scend to details, but It Is presumed that among the subjects In mind are con stitutional government, the mutual and independent relations of the various fltate-s, the history of the philosophy of popular rule and. the traditions of the American republic as unfolded In fam ous state papers, addresses, letters and debates, together -with practical In struction In our theory of government and its clvlo functions. Although no text book .could comprehend all these subjects, It is credible that one might easily be prepared which would more nearly fulfil requirements than does any now on the market. The devotion of part of a day each week In the schools to the holding of mock elections and to the imitative transaction of affairs of government precisely as these things occur In real llf would afford one desirable method of beginning the inculcation of patriotic lessons In these schools. The devotion of another brief time at periodical In tervals to the reading; and discussion of hero talcs from American history, fol lowing the excellent example set by the children's magailne, fit. Nicholas, would further the good work amaslng ly. And in higher grades the lntelll gsat Md discriminating study of such luminous documents as Jefferson's and Hamilton's controversial papers .as found In the Federalist and kindred re positories could be made of Infinitely superior usefulness to the study of most dead languages or the pursuit of ab stract knowledge. In this connection It may be well to note that the well-conducted dally newspaper forms a continually Inter esting and practical manual of civics. Instructing the pupil not only in poli tics, current science and the arts, but also teaching geography, ethnology and sociology more realistically than any formal text-book. Tha Judicious Intro duction of dally newspapers into the public school room 1s much to be de sired. It would add a practical ele ment to the Instruction therein Im parted which ought soon to reflect It self In bettered primary elections, cleaner nominations to public office, and. In general, purer politics. For the good newspaper Is always outspoken and Insistent in behalf of righteousness, and Its Influence Is of a vital character just requisite for Invigorating the young currents of citizenship that owe origin to the work of the public schools. If the Sultan of Turkey were deliber ately electioneering for a licking he could hardly make out a more Inviting case. The Future of the Silvcrltes. Senator Warren, of Wyoming, tells a Washington interviewer that he does not expect any wholesale revolt among western Republicans should the party next year take ground against the free and unlimited coinage of silver. Asked as to what he himself would do In case his party definitely arrayed Itself against silver, the senator said that he thought that he could do more good for sliver within his party ranks than he could do without them. There has recently been, at least In eastern localities, a lull In the popular discussion of the currency question: and this Is not unnaturally Interpreted to mean that free coinage is a waning tcsue. The re-assemblago of congress may revive the subject; there will cer tainly be sharp criticism of the execu tive's bond syndicate deal, which may or may not have logical connection with the administration's recent espousal of gold monometallism. But the con sensus of opinion unquestionably is that the adoption of a glittering gen erality In favor of international bi metallism is as far as either political party will next year venture to go in recognition of the claims made by Sen ator Warren's constituents for silver. For our own part, wo believe that this is less than could be done wilh per fect safety and with real benefit. We have not yet been taught the danger, If there Is any. In the coinage cf highly protected American silver upon a ratio of say 20 to 1, and we discern numerous benefits In the plan, among them being the putting Into circulation of much needed additional currency In the sparsely settled south and west, where banks are few and facilities scarce for the rapid Interchange of credits, thus aiding in the development of communi ties which are now almost at a stand still through the lack of a ready cur rency. Put this is apart from the main sub ject. The remarks of Senator Warren Indicate, wo take it, that there will not be next year that disruption of estab lished party lines which a few months ago seemed a probable consequence ot the raising of the currency Insuo. Wo know that In tha east the men of wealth, whether Democrats or Republi cans, ore gold standard men above all else; but at the same time we think Senator .Warren is right In believing that he can do more for silver within tlian without the party lines. What ever may be true of special pleaders t either extreme, the mass of Republi cans are sincere blmetallists, who want to do the fair thing for silver Just as soon as they can perceive a way where by It may be done without peril to ex isting advantages. That Hc-rriiig denies It Is not calcu lated to bristle the scalp-lock In over powering surp'ise. As to Mrs. naybrlck. The recurrence of another Interna tional ebullition of sympathy for Mrs. Florence Maybrlck, the American wo man now serving a. life sentence In a IJrltlsh prison for tho murder of her husband by poison, 13 threatened. It Is said that new evidence has been discov ered conclusively proving the woman's Innocence of murder. Petitions are to be circulated throughout two contin ents praying for a re-opening of the case. . , The pertinacity of her friends be gins to deserve reward. We do not share their Indomitable confidence in Mrs. Maybrlck's lnnocenoe: and or dinarily would dispute the wisdom In recalling, except upon the best of grounds, a decision once arrived at by due process of law. There is, too, an element of Impropriety in the spectacle of Americans casting reproach upon the fairness of the legal processes of an other country. But these scruples are not so serious as to prevent our assent to the assertion that it would be a graceful courtesy were the English au thorities to grant Mrs. iMaybrlck an other opportunity to substantiate the claims of her friends as to the existence of vital new evidence. And the fact that she is an American would lend to such action an aspect of diplomatic graolousness by no means encouraging to frequent repetitions of the Incident among English convicts. If the woman really did put her hus band out of the way, so" as better to accommodate an Intrigue with another man, her seven years of punishment have been none too severe. But if she be Innocent, as claimed, it Is high time she were liberated. In either case, a retrial would afford a desirable silenc ing, to a fast-growing and not overly pleasant international clamor. The fact that Cackvllle-West did not like Blaine Is another grand enconlum upon his memory. As a rule, the private affairs of noted persons are not meet for public com ment; but in the matter of the separa tion between Mr. Chanter and Amelle Rives Chanler It seems within bounds ot propriety to remark that the episode quits sustain! the early reputation of the writer of "The Quick or the Dead." Doubtless (Mr. Chanler is to be con gratulated. The report that England has peremp torily . declined to submit the Vene zuelan dispute to arbitration lacks con firmation; but If true it simply calls for the blunt ultimatum on our part that England must arbitrate or take a licking. We fancy that it wouldn't make much difference to the average American citizen which alternative she should choose. There Is still no reason to believe that the (Supreme court will deliver any opinion whatever concerning the con stitutionality of the Superior court act in advance of the November election. In which event, . the voter's obvious duty will "be to vote as the law directs, namely for not more than six candidates. We entirely agree with the Norrls town Herald that the only effect of the agitation raised principally by Mr. Olmsted concerning the Superior court act "will be to confuse voters and cause thousands of votes to be thrown away." There does not seem to be sufficient justification for this confusion. The recurring story that Olney wants to encourage Spain to make short work of the Cuban patriots leaves him as deep In the mire as ever. The Ameri can way would be nlmply and flatly to serve notice on Spain to get out. Thus far, there has been entirely too much beating around the bush. The first ithllrd of October yields, under the Wilson-Gorman tariff, a de ficit of $7,415,331.16. This Is nearly equal to a deficit of a million a day. Truly, Democratic financiering Is a wonderful thing. , If It be true that the bouncing of Sackvllle-West, seven years ago, was Don Oil. Dickinson's work, the fact will add nothing to Don 'Manuel's discredit. The Supreme court of Pennsylvania doubtless respects Itself too much to be hurried to a decision by the voice of political convenience. And still the promised "vigorous for eign policy" coyly hides behind the cur tain. ATLANTA GOSSIP. Foreigners to whom It is necessary lo explain the history and significance of tUo old liberty bell must be persuaded by ob servation that we are a nr.tlon of luii tiea Lo judgu by the m td cnthuainHin with wlileh the people of this country greet the bell when it stnrts out on lis travels, of course they cannot know how much it means to us and they are to be pardoned for murvellng at the frantic delight which wn-s exhihlted in Atlanta on Tues day, when the boil arrived. Never was sni'h nn ovation known, and the o'.Ject cf all the excitement inus-t Imclf have been roTnewliRt minified nt tho commotion which it created In IH triumphal march through the south. The bell is a sort of fetich for till true Americans. I suppose wo net toward It a: no doubt the English would If they had St. OeorRa's lra?on t tiffed and conveniently .mounted for traveling over the British dominions, or oh the Italians mteht be expected to rc p.ird a lineal descendant of tho wolf that adopted the fotindors of Home. For once It was evident that Philadel phia has a desire to kni-p up with the pro cession, for the bull reached Atlan-ta four hours sooner than It was expected. Pan demonium relcned, all the whistles and gongs In the elty were let looo, people screamed and laughed and crl?d; children kissed it nnd beautiful women hnn'.r wreaths about It, and prayed a blessing upon the precious relic. Salutes were fired and from whites nnd negroes rose shouts of delight nnd welcome. Oraoked and dumb though It be fnrcvermore, its si lence is more eloquent than the golden tontruo of the sweetest bell that was ever east and it would seem thnt the people of the south Biiprcrlr.to Its significance to a magnificent degree. Mayor Warwick, of Philadelphia, was much touched by the rcmnrknblo expres sions of reverence which were noted all along the route nnd believes hat the vlHt of Pennsylvania's rarest treasure will result In. great poo.1.' Colonel Lam bert, of tho Philadelphia I'ress. re mn:tked to a. prominent Atlnntalan soon after his irrlva.l with tha es cort: "If you are going to try to make any more noise tomorrow nt tho exposi tion than yon did today, I leavo tonight for Philadelphia." A fine portrait of T. J. Kcenan, jr., sec retary of the Pennsylvania commis sion, appeared In the Atlanta Constitution this week. He has bepn most active In the work of showing up Pennsylvania at the exposition, and th results of his ef forts arc most admirable, Pennsylvnnians are looking forwn'd with much Interest to the stnto day, Nov. 14. when the governor, with his stnff, cabinet and the commission will go lo Atlanta. Among those from Seranton who will accompany the party are Mr. and Mrs. William Connoll, Colonel and Mrs. E. H. Rlpplo and Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Pen man. Many othpr Scrnntonlans will visit the exposition during the next few weeks. The large party thnt Accompanied the mining engineers on Monday are having a most delightful visit. The business ten sion are held In Concordia hall and In the auditorium on the exposition grounda yesterday they took a trip to Stone moun tain, on the Invitation of the Venable Profilers, who own tho wonderful moun tains of pure granite. Today they will f to the marble quarries of North Gor::la nnd will spend several hours In. oectlna the great deposits of rich marble. Joieph B. Weeks, of Pittsburg, Is presi dent of the association. All sorts and kinds and conditions of conventions are hem in Atlanta, tnese days. The undertakers having been hav ing a good time there, for undertakers do have an occasional good time strnnge as it may seem and notwithstanding the fact that they all remarked upon tho ap palling condition of good henHh over the land. Part of their entertainment while In Atlanta was a barbecue, nnd they en Joyed It Immensely. Tho bell committee was also treated to a 'cue by tho enthu siastic citizens. The woman's congress has attracted much attention during tho past fort night, and has been tho assembling to gether of the most brilliant and most re markable women of the day. They havo not all been "new women." Many were Foutherners of patrician families and the most Inherent prejudices against the de parture of the sex from the fronton track, of conventionality nnd old-time limits. Put they have been those whose ex quisite taste, whose high breeding, gen tleness, tact and great beauty have com pared favorably with the most advanced of their sisters who have won fnmn as ex plorers, Inventors, philanthropists and writers. The faces of such women as Mary Iwe Dickinson, Ioulln M. Gordon, Helen Campbell, Madame Korany, Mrs, French BheAdon. Marghcrlta Arllra Hnmm, Clara Parton, Caroline Earle White, of Pennsylvania, he ardent antl vlvlsectionlst, and many others whose fames ore known over two continents, at liMi.st, have become familiar to the at tendants upon these dslly congresses In the womnn's building. It la an education to hear these women and to be directed Into the broader ehannc's of thought by their keen Intellect and flashing wit. t It may bo of Interest to Scrantonlans to know that all the articles sent from this oounty to the exposition were received In safely end have been placed In appropri ate locations under the direction of Miss Russell, the assistant secretary of the women's commission . ' JUDGE HAND'S VIEW. From the Plttston Item. TCx-Judao Hand, of Lackawanna county. who is generally regarded as a Jurist of high nDiniy, nu written a tengtny com munication on the subject of the- doubt raised by some politicians and Inwvers with reference to tho constitutionality cf the Superior court tew and th" duty of voters wKh reference thereto. It is print ed In this morning's Siramon Tiioune, and considering Ita Intrinsic, merits as a lltorary production and legal argument, together wth the high legal standing of the author. It tnus-t be regarded as the most lucid and authoritative contribution yet presented to the literature of the dis cussion. Judge Hand la by his long ex perience as a common pleas judge, and, still later, by his association wHh the mmbers of the Supreme bench, eminently equipped to predict the probable action of that body In cass the Superior court law comes before It for interpretation. His opinion favors the view that It ought to bo and will be sustained by that body. Hello! Is that Mr. Burke T This Is William. How are you passing your time these days, William? Fishing. Any luck?
