The Patronage Issue.
The Scranton Republican, t)em., yes
terday said: "We repeat our statement
of Monday concerning last fall's cam
palen, that notwithstanding: the utter
Ignoring and cold-shouldering of the
Republican by Connell's candidates,
and all In special charge of their elec
tion, and the fact that not a dollar of
campaign printing was given us by the
county committee, we supported the
ticket without complaint."
The senior proprietor of the Republl
can, Dem., did complain. To a repre
entatlve of the county committee, who
visited him to ascertain If his paper
intended to light the ticket, he made
grievous compluint, on the pcore that
he had not been permitted to dictate
the personnel of the ticket. lie even
threatened to Ignore the ticket, but fill'
ally agreed to accord It a nominal sup
port, reserving the right to tight It
Individually. That he tried hard to
defeat Uurtl Is a matter of history.

worth $16.50, but we are willing to give

party that has contributed more than
$300,000 to his support since he first en
tered politics.
It looks as If the Quay men In Alle
gheny had stoen a march on Mr. Magee.
They have got Into the Held first with a
complete county ticket and declare
their Intention of standing by thut
ticket until the polls close. The vote
at the primaries ought to afford a fair
determination of the relative strength
of Quay and Magee in the hitter's own
territory.
The Retirement of Senator Porter.
State Senator Charles A. Porter, of
Philadelphia, David Martin's ally in
the so-called Quuker City combine, has
announced hla unqualified retirement
from politics. Mr. Porter Is a rich
business man. Who got into politics
through loyalty to friends, and once in
found for many years no suitable op
portunity of getting out again, without
deserting those who had stood by him.
He has been abused, caricatured, ma
ligned and misrepresented with a per
sistency worthy of a better cause; but
those who know him have never had
their faith shaken for an Instant in his
Integrity or In his manliness.
In the celebrated Philadelphia may
oralty fight which divorced David Mar
tin from Senator Quay, Senator Port
er's opposition to the nomination of
Penrose was open and above board. He
never promised Penrose his support
and never agreed to acquiesce in his se
lection. Upon the contrary, Mr.Porter
emphatically proclaimed, weeks before
the mayoralty convention. Ills belief
that Penrose, if nominated, could not
be elected. Although the Penrose ieo
ple, in their bitterness ct the sudden
turning of the convention from Penrose
to Charles F. Warwick, trained their
batteries upon Porter quite as viciously
as they did upon 'Martin, who aione
acted In an appearance of bad faith,
it is an incontrovertible fact that Por
ter, In the whole episode, conducted
himself fairly and honorably, and was
abused with an entire absence of jus
tice or provocation.' "' v . ' r -
In the senate Mr. Porter was ait able
tad resourceful legislator, who added
weight to the upper branch of the state
congress. The hounding to which he
has been subjected Is as disgraceful as
It will, In time, prjive damaging to the
party which tolerates and encourages
such personal methods of warfare.
The real secret of the revolt of the
group of Republican silver senators
who defeated the Dlngley bill Is ex
plained by the statement that inasmuch
as the sllverites will control the senate
for four years to come, they propose to
stand as a barrier against any tariff
legislation whatever until they can
force the Republicans into accepting a
free coinage rider. If they can carry
out this programme they will be big
men. But can they?
Municipal Themes in the Schools.
Is It desirable that the public schools
and colleges should teach the princi
ples underlying wise municipal govern
ment, and also Inform their pupils how
the municipality Is conducted? This
proposition was recently mude by May
or Swift of Chicago, in a speech wherein
he unmercifully castigated the critical
stuy-at-homo element which Is never
satlsllcd with municipal government
yet does nothing to help improve it
and It occurred to one of the Chicago
papers the Times-Herald to follow
the suggestion out by soliciting opinions
f.'om the leading college and university
presidents concerning the advisability
of such a course of Instruction.
President Charles Kendall Adams of
the University of Wisconsin, heartily
approves the Idea, which hus already
been put into practice In the Institution
over which he presides. Says he:
This year, in the University of Wiseon
sin, threo courses lire given by a geiitln-
liKin who has devoted three years of sya.
tetnatic study of the subject, having pur
sued his work partly in this country, part
ly in KuMland, unl partly in continental
rOiuopc. One course is devoted lo n com
parative study of administrative law In
the I nlted Slates and Hie leading cities
of JCuiiipe, with special reference lo the
ui Kiiiilr.at Ikii of statu and provincial de
partments. The s nd cuurse Is devote
lo an examination of the municipal sys
tem of tlio leading states of Kurope ami
the various syslemn prevailing in tin
American states. This course Is a com.
puratlvu study of the relations und po'
era of various organizations us they up.
pear In important modern municipal sys
tenia. The third course Is devoted to mu
nicipal administration, following the sem
inary method, with a study of statistical
ami administrative reports of the largest
cities of Kurope and America. The prob
lems discussed are municipal budgets, sys
tems of communication and lighting, the
problem of dwellings, distribution of pop.
illation, etc. These courses are given part
ly uy systematic Investigation, carried on
according to the seminary method, the
whole occupying two hours of lectures and
class work per week. Tills course fur
nishes a good opportunity for every stu
dent who desires systematic Instruction
in methods of municipal administration.
I regard the course as of the utmost value
The suggestion Is also approved by
Presidents Cut ter, of Williams, North
rop of the university of Minnesota, fill-
man of Johns Hopkins, Angell of the
university of Michigan, Uuckham of
the university of Vermont, Rogers, of
the Northwestern university, Andrews
of Rrown, Harper of the university of
Chicago, Schurman of Cornell, Smart
of Perdue and several others. Not all
of these educators believe that It would
be necessary to establish a separate
professorship of municipal government,
but all concur In the proposition that
the trend of Instruction In the higher
Institutions of learning should be such
as to qualify, rather than disqualify
the gWuluatte for the practicnl and
prosy duties of citizenship for the
party cuuetts, the city council chamber.
the constableship, or for nny office or
line of work within the range of local
government.
As usual. President Eliot of Har
vard strikes a discordant note. This
dyspeptic academician replies: "It
does not seem to me that municipal
government Is a proper subject for a
professorship. It Is a branch or de
partmi-nt of public administration In
which our free Institutions have failed
and on that account we take, for the
moment, a special interest in it. It is
to be hoped thut this great evil will
be corrected before long, und then,
think, the narrowness of the subject,
as only one topic In public administra
tion, will be more clearly seen than it
Is now." We hope that President
Eliot's prediction will speedily be real
ized, but we fear that Its realization
will come. If at all, In spite of rather
than because of the kind of teaching
wrought by the mugwump executive
of Harvard.
In the Boer republic, 14,000 male Bo
ers, mainly a conservative, pastoral
people, have the exclusive suffrage,
while 120.000 Ultlnndcrs, modern in
every particular, have no voice what
ever In the government of affairs. But
the Boers were there first. It Is their
land and their government. If the Uit-
landors are not satisfied to "squat" In
peace, justice would seem to indicate
that they ought to get out, Probably
they would, were it not that the Trans
vaal happens to contain the richest gold
Ileitis on earth fields that Great Brit
ain covets and Is determined to absorb,
by fair means or foul.
Farming in Days to Come.
The Electrical Student prints a pic
ture showing a trolley car preceded by
half a dozen hay wagons, potato loads,
wood loads and miscellaneous vehicles
conveying farm produce, nil impelled
by electricity after the fashion In vogue
in our city streets. The picture is la
beled: "The Farmer of the Future Go
ing to Market at the Rate of Twenty
five Miles an Hour." The Student sup
plements its picture with some very in
teresting reading, in the form of an
interview with the late Colonel James
M. Clark, of Cincinnati, a most In
structive person. The colonel was com
plaining of the backwardness of the
farmer's lot as compared with the resi
dents of our cities when he said:
K very body else bus his dully moil, his
daily paper, his access to comforts, his
club and nil those things that go with the
easy assemblage of iieople at any one
point. But the furmer is practically where
he was 100 years- ugo. He has things a lit
tle more comfortable in some respects, but
he gets very few of the luxuries, be he
rich ur be he poor. Ho in too fur away
from other folks, and I say It Isn't fair.
Besides that, he won't stand it much lon
ger. He is bound to Insist upon having
his daily market report, so that he can
buy and sell his produce on the fluctua
tions, the same as other people. He Is
bound to have the means lo dump 2,000
bushels of wheat into the elevator In a
half day any time he tlnds the market
right. It's got to come to him, and elec
tricity will bring it.
"You say, why doesn't the farmer build
good roads and get near to nil market in
that way? Huh, a farmer never built
roads anywhere. Take France, road
very line, but built by Napoleon for mili
tary purposes. Take Knxlun 1. roads start
ed by the Ituir.an voldicrs ai:l completed
by the same interests that are bu!l llns
railroads In America today unj have bullc
all the good roads the commercial Inter
ests. It Isn't the farmer's turn to build
roads, und ho won't build uny until he can
hold the stork in them like other folks.
Another thing, whers would the farmers
of the great prairies get material to make
roads? hy, It would be about as cheap
as anything else they could get to pavo
them with gold. No sir, a few ties and a
puir of flat rails and there it the farmer's
road of the future. Put twenty or forty
loaded wagons behind each other, hit -h
a motor In front and uway you go, twenty
Hve miles an hour. If you've ever sen
a wagon running along on a street car
track you can imagine how smoothly n
train of loaded lumber wagons would i.klm
along a country road on street car rulls.
Your farmer muy live twenty miles from
town, but if the market suits him he can
get up at a decent man's hour, take In
his entire crop, sell It, bank his receipts
and be at home In time to kiss bis wife
over his fat certificate of deiKisit before
dinner Is ready. That would be living.
That would mak farm life attractive
enough 'to keep the tjoys at home."
The colonel ininuines that the resl
dents of the various county seats. In
agricultural districts would subscribe
for the stock to build radial trolley
lines reaching1 Into the country, since
It would centralize the trn:Hc of tl w hole
county In one town, enable the steam
roads to build large warehouses and
cause a general but a substantial
"boom." As to the question, will these
electric rouds pay? Colonel Clark says:
"It pays the steam roads to haul the
produce und people out of town, doesn't
it? Then why won t It pay the electric
roads to haul them in? Steam roads fur
nish their own. rolling stock, ut that, but
with the electric road the furmer would
of necessity desire to own ami furnish his
own wagon, for It would mean only one
handling of his load between his granary
and it lie elevator. If be lived oil' the ele
trie line he would build a short stretch of
road himself, hook a pair of hordes to bis
wagon, haul bis load ito the. main line
and zip, his grain would be In town.
Steel rail Is one of the cheapest thlii'-ts
In this country now. but I want to trdl you
mai'adaiul'.ed roud is high uipI too slow
for the age 'that Is now beginning, the
ago of electricity. Willi his dally paper.
his telephone ami Ills eleMric road tin
laruier or the future will be as well post
ed as the mini who buys und sells on the
board of trade In Chicago, New York or
Liverpool. That Is. be will If lie has
the bruins, und I guess you can trust
our furmers for brains.
It cannot be denied that this Is an
Inviting prospect, for the farmer; but
It would go hard with wheelmen.

KOOSEVELT1SMS.
From an Address, at Chicago, Feb. 22, on
"The Duties of Citizenship."
As yet there Is not within ken of human
vision so much as the lirst dawn streak
of the day of universal peace; und woe lo
the nation with blind eyes who believes
that the sunburst of such a day Is at hand.
As yet life is strife, und every man who
succeeds, und who does good to his fel
lows, can only succeed, und can only do
good, by striving mightily nnd by holding
bis own with a ready band In the war
for righteousness. As yet we need wise
laws, well administered, to keep the
wicked in check, and to prevent the wreck
of decent men; as yet we neetl. as every
nation needs, to stand ready to defend our
honor and our Interest with the sword If
we do our work well In that grim und
painful but necessary struggle through
which nil of us, Individuals und nations
alike, ure moving slowly forward toward
the unknown goal which the future
shrouds from the most far-sighted.
There Is great need for the exercise of
criticism, both by public men and by the
press; but there Is even greuler need that
this criticism should be honest and should
bo dignified lu tone. .Many of the inon
prominent newspapers In the laud, and nut
a few politicians whose voices ure heard
even In the bouses of the nutioiiul legisla
ture, make us hang our heads tor shuiiio
as Americans by -the foul Indecency of
their ussuults; ussuults mudH quite as
frequently on the best us on tho worst of
our public servants. These writers und
speakers are u disgrace to the community
which seriously respects Washington's
great name; though it Is a comfort w hen
we are Inclined to feel loo gloomy about
the life of tho present time to remember
that these base creatures of our own day
had their prototypes among the newspaper
writers und politicians who slandered
Washington while he lived.
This country stands In very little danger
of tyranny or loss of liberty. The un
scrupulous greed of some great corpora
tions or some individual la whom t)ir
ninuey-gettlng faculty Is imn Jiolesum Iv
developed while the higher and letter
qualities ure completely uthrnphicd, m ty
at times cause danger: but the- evil thus
caused can always, tinder a system of pop
ular BiitTrage, be remedied by the election
of olllcers who are Just and decent. If our
Judges are both Incorruptible Find also de
sirous to do substantial Justice, rather
than 'to weave webs of lechiilcullty; If our
If glslators are at the same time free from
the spirit of demagogy, and yet bent upon
sternly punishing uny man who takes
advunlage of his wealth to wrong either
the public or persons of le?s mentis, then
the days of the improper power of wealth
will be brought to a speedy close. Hut t in
spirit of uiutrchy and lawlessness is far
more powerful. It muy at nny time be
come a real danger: and moreover it
should always be borne in mlml. especlal-

Oary, who wars fearlessly on anarchy, is

Washington was on ltie whole the great
est nnd purest champion of orderly liberty
that the world has ever seen; but he was
relentless In putting down disorder.
Washington stood, ond now stands, for
the elemental moralities, for the elemental
nrlnclnles of right, for the elemental vir
tues of honesty, truth, strclghUorward
ness,. courtesy and. fearlessness in de
nouncing evil and upholding good. Ho

for the country or demand impossible can
dl lions before he would go into public life.
Ho presevereil, and, though he never lost
his own lofty ldculs. he made ullowunc
for men of lesser moral stature.
A man who Is a brilliunt phrasemuker
and uses his tulent to udvaiice wnut is
low and base is unfit for public life In a
commonwealth which seriously puts
Washington forward an an example. This
is true of the politicians who otlvocate
what Is evil, it is true to an even greater
extent of the bolder politicians who nc
tually do what Is evil. The man who
steals n legislature, the man who wins
a governorship by wholesome fraud and
violence lit the polls, the mun who buys
a senator-ship by bribery, whether with
money or olllee, each and every one of
these will be repudiated by uny communi
ty which puts into- practice its belief In
Washington's greatness-.
Wealth is a gooil thing, but it is ill to
acquire It at the cost of losing the power
to see that there are other tilings which
are even better. Heltnement and cultiva
tion are also good things; they are quull
ties which we should strive In every why
to acquire; nnd we f-.-el nothing but con
tempt for tho fo.il who Jeers at education
but this fool la partially Justified by the
worse fjlly of the man who really doei
strive to shape educution so that it ahull
eliminate tho manly -qualities. Cultiva
tion ami retlnrnifnt are too dearly pur
chased if they ure bought at the cost of
the loss of the great righting virtues, or at
the cost of the loss of a spirit of intense
Americanism.
The man, whether politician or editor
or private citizen, who would hesitate to
draw the sword for his country when men
need by a foreign foe ur who condones or
practices dishonesty in public life, or who
subordinate the nation's welfare to the
welfare of an imli vl.l u tl or a faction, or
Who either improperly defends bad men
or slanderously and wantonly assails good,
Is himself uu enemy of" the nation.
The politician and the soldier who try
lo live up to the principles which Wash
ington Illustrated by word und deed alike
lire showing themselves tit to be called Ills
cooiiliyiu. il. i;ut i would be impossible
to regard with too contemptuous aversion
I nose men who now and I lien on rarudi
occasions express devotion to VYushliig
tun's memory, but w ho by the whole tenor
of their lives show their Indifference to
an mat he thought muit vital.
The question of putting on the statute
books tiny laws, on whatever suDJect,
which nre bitterly distasteful to certain
classes Is one on which honest men may
differ; hut there should be no difference of
opinion n"iong honest men us to the tn
forcemem of law. '
No man is a good citizen of the com
munity who lacks either the will or the
capacity to wage rough warfare against
lawlessness and ugainst the roes or order
no less than against the foes of liberty.

Two empires by the wea.
Two nations, great and free,
One anthem raise.
One race of ancient fame.
One tongue, one faith, we claim
One Clod, whose glorious name
We love and praise.
What deeds our fathers wrought,
What buttles we have fought,
Let fame record.
Now, vengeful passion cease.
Come, victories of peace;
Nor hate nor pride's caprice
Unsheath the sword.
Though deep the sea. nnd wide,
Twlxt realm and realm, its tide

So be the gulf between

Hy friendship spanned.
Now, may the flod above,

Or east or west.
Let love more fervent glow,
As peaceful ages go.
And strength yet stronger grow,
