Why should Scranton (the- rlty. nnt

question U still shiutidvd In inysft'ry.
How to Reform the Senate.
Advocate of the flection of United
States Bcnatota directly by the people
argue that uueh a departure from tho
present uructlce would "restore to the
senate Its pristine dignity und power.
We must confess that we do not per
ceive the logic of such a deduction. If
the people arf unuble to elect state
legislators who can be trusted to do
their duty when It comes to electing
United States senators, It puzzles us to
aisoover wherein the quality of senators
would Improve by referring their elec
tion buck to that self-same populace,
The only gain we should expect from
the change If It be made would be the
more speedy choosing of senators, thus
doing away with the numerous legls
latlve deadlocks like that Just ended by
adjournment in Kentucky.
Whether this gain would be a nuttl
clent compensation for the alteration
which popular elections would necessar
ily work In the personnel and character
of the senate is an open question. It Is
admitted by those who arraign the Hen-
ate as it stands today disgraced on the
one hand by the I'opulistlc demugogues
who break into It by elasticity of po
litical conscience and gUhness tongue,
und, on the other hand, made Intellec
tually poor by the presence of mediocre
men of wealth who commuud elections
by cash thut in earlier days, under
the same system. It was the grandest
forum of legislative debate In the world.
Therefore, the senate's present'defects
are not the fault of the system, und a
change In the system would not neces
sarily correct them.
Popular elections would speedily do
eeverul things. They would facilitate
the entrance of adroit demagogues and
make statesmanship in Its highest
form an Impossibility in American
public life. They would breed u race of
senatorial trimmers, responsive to cuch
gust of popVlar prejudice or passion,
and banish totally thut calm and con
servative deliberation which educated
men know to he Indispensable to safe
and sure legislation. They would ex
change the aristocracy of wealth for the
aristocracy of the mob spirit, and repeat
on American soil, possibly without
bloodshed but certainly with almost
equal contrast, the jump which Prance
once took from the elegant dalliunce of
the Bourbon court to the irresponsible
nd ghastly anarchy of Robespierre.
If the senate today be unsuitable,
strike not at the system of election,
which is wisely ordered; strike, rather,
at the public Indifference which permits
machine politics to make United States
senatorshlps a private stock In trade.
A spirited effort is being made to
carry the Blair county primaries for
John Wanamaker for senator. His
chief opponent Is 'Jack" Robinson,
which ought to simplify the choice.
The Man on Horseback."
It Is often amusing to witness the
antics of men In the mania of hero
worship. The McKlnley craze today,
like the Blaine craze of yesterday and
the Grant craze of the day before, not
to speak of the earlier ebullitions of
man-worship which characterized the
days of Andrew Jackson, Daniel Web
ster and Henry Clay, rests upon no
aennite looting. Jt can point to no
specific achievements on the part of Its
beneficiary either in private or In public
life which are of a kind to Justify
the tossing of hats and the tearing of
hair. The Ohio candidate has' Wen, It
U true', a prominent figure. In tariff dis
cussion and legislation; but apart. from
, that Arid' even thefe he often charmed
the galleries while older heads did the
real, practical legislative work his
public career Is not Illumined by either
extended experience or by overmaster
ing ability of the highest order.
On the financial question h has ut
tered only sonorous generalltjp.wwitlv
regard to foreign affairs, his position
la defined 4n noppeclflc term's and has
been outlined ln.no act or phaswrff not
able public legislation. The jfecords of
congress may : be- searched from tthe
moment of his entrance to,-hfa 'exit
without discovering anything to differ
niiat him from iooichs of equally pa-
trlotic, eloquent and level-headed col
leagues, save the single fact that as
chairman of the ways and mcuns com
mlttee lit the Fifty-first congress he
following custom, was privileged t
ftlve his name to a tariff act, which I:
detu'll was the Joint product of all tlv
leaders of the Republican party, but
which, in the subsequent political ills
etissions in congress and out has been
known as the "McKlnley" bill. To this
happy accident, taken In connection
with the disastrous experiment which
culminated In protection's temKrai'y
overthrow. Is" he Indebted for his pres
ent prominence as a presidential can
dldatc; for this reuson are statesmen of
many times his breadth, depth and ex
perience, such as John Sherman. Sen
ator Allison and Shelby M. Cullom,
shoved aside in the rush of the masses
to bow down before a personified Idea
We say all this In no spirit of dls
carasrement of Mr. McKlnley, who
both personally and politically is
clean, an honest and an admirable man
we say it merely because it is the con
spicuous fact which from Maine to Cal
if o in la Is turning ordinarily sane and
collected men Into Impassioned cham
pions and enthusiastic boomers. It Is
another case of what the French people
have In mind when they speak of "the
man on horseback." The public Im
agination has been fired again, as It
was fired, years ago- by Rlaine. The
llame Is sweeping the prairies, and tin
less the wind of opuhtr favor soon
veers, It will be the means of elevating
to the most dirricult and exacting of
public office lii this or any other conn
try an untried exponent of a single
ldeu.
Senator Chnndler, on hearsay evi
dence, trying to blacken the reputation
of a fellow Republican whose only
crime is in being In the load for the
presidential nomination, has succeeded
in earning only the disgust of his own
party und the contempt of the opposl
Hon.
Air. Hanna's Disclaimer.
Mark A. Hanna, of Cleveland, O., the
energetic generalissimo of the McKin
ley forces, has taken pains to honor with
a formal denial a churge which nobody
believed. He has said:
"The statement made by Senator ("hand
ler, to the tITect Unit Mr. McKlnley':
canvass had been one of boodle from start
to finish, and that I had levied eontribii
lions on the Industrial Interests of Ihj
-ast. Is absolutely and unuuallnedly false,
I would not nave dlKiillled Ills interview
to the extent of even Hiking notice of It,
did he not challenge a denial. In -doing
so I content myself with the simple state-
mem or the tact mut neitner .Mr. .mcivmi-
ley's character nor my own calls for any
further reply In this connection. As to
the invasion of Senator Quay's state or
any other, i have not round it necessary
or expedient to resort to any such course
In order to create McKlnley sentiment.
In every state of the Union it has coma
spontaneously Hum the people, and ills
canvass Is entirely In their hunds. As to
my motives in contributing either time or
money in tnu interest or Mr. .Mi-Kin ley. i
hold that Senator Chandler is In no posi
tion to Judge. -My devotion to the Repub
lican party anil Its principles has not
been Inspired by this campaign. The In
sinuation that it was founded on a desi v
to hold olnee or control patronage Is abso
lutely without foundation. I can fully
appreciate why the honorable senator can
not understand mat sort or thing in pon
tics. Having Baid this much, I leave my
case In the hands of the Republican party
of the United States."
This charge was first presented to the
public through the columns of the Phil
adelphia Times, a renegade from the
cause of protection edited by a man
who has, we believe, no special claim to
speak in behalf of purity In politics.
Colonel McClure declared that he could
prove it, that he hud personally seen
the letters In the premises, but whw
challenged to produce one of these let
ters, fell back on his dignity und gave
the subject no further notice. The Im
petuous and Irascible Chandler fol
lowed, with more sweeping charges, but
not one of them was reduced to detullu
or corroborated by evidence. Mr. llun-
nu's detiiul means that McClure and
Chandler must either prove their case
or make public apology and retraction.
The opponents of Major McKlnley
who are honest and honorable In their
attitude toward his candidacy should
lose no time in repudiating the "stop,
thief!" tactics of those who fancy thut
McKlnley can be beaten by sluudr.
The present preliminary canvass should
be above nil things friendly und good
natured, to the end that n united purty
may rally around the standard of the
winner after convention.

"God in tho Constitution."
Concerning the recent recurrence of
the.effort of certain sectaries to ''put
God In the constitution," the Roches
ter Tost-Express speaks out with nota
ble force and directness. Replying to
the contention that a formal recogni
tion of the Deity by name Is necessary
In ouV federal charter. It says: "A cen
tury, of American history, with the
marvelous development of material re
sources, the advancing civilization, and
the progress of religion as well, which
It has witnessed, has but confirmed
the wisdom of the fathers, and made
the principle of the complete divorce
of church from state) more sacred In
the minds and consciences nf the gen
erations that have succeeded. It Is ir
reversible as against the assaults both
of fanaticism and of Infidelity.
"There Is need neither of discussion.
nor of petition, at this late day. We
should as soon expect to see the graves"
give up their dead as to see the pro
posed amendment, or anything like it,
adopted by. this people, In the closing
days of the nineteenth century. Tt Is
repugnant to all classes nf citizens,
whether thoy worship at Christian nr nt
Jewish al'.ars, or refuse to bow In the
temples or any raitn. or course, it re
mains true that this, Is a Christian peo
ple, but not a Christian nation. The
genius of the republic allows nil forms
of religion, hut cherishes none. Hy not
so much as a finger's touch, can profune
hands be laid upon the freedom, within
which all creeds-are protected, and the
performance of all rites and ceremonies,
tint Inconsistent with the peace and
safety of the state, is assured. - By the
same persuasion, however, which
guards. the church, It In ordained thut
it may not Interfere, In the slightest
measure, with tho Integrity of the state,
"it U plainly' seen that this absolute
divorce of church, und stute the spiri
tual church and Mie secular stute Is for
the weal of. each. The church has Its
agencies of life the sermon, the ritual,
the Suniluy school, the well-ordered
home. These all muke for" the tempor
al, as well as for the eternal, salvation
of those toi whom they minister. Any
association with them by the state
would be to their hurt. ThatYhurch Is
not worth sustaining- which can only
be sustained by the state, whether this
be by bayonets, by law, or by largess.
"Recognizing these things, as written
In letters of light, the fathers made this
a secular government, abolishing
church establishments, proscribing re
ligious tests, and even refusing to write
Cod in the constitution. They did
wisely and well. Inspired by true Chris
tianity, as well as by patrtotlc fervor.
And their sons will not destroy that
which they intelligently budded.
Neither Jew nor Gentile need fear that
the backward step will be taken. Irre
fragably and irreversibly the liberties
both of church and state are inwrought
In the fabric of. the nation and abide
In the soul of American manhood."
When will this simple truth be every
where understood?
The Pittsburg Dispatch confesses
that it is net wholly satisfied with
Se'iator Quay's tide of the Fllnn-Quay
overture, "it v'as not his business,"
that journal ttiys, "to listen to peace
propositions after tho battle had been
vaged on the understanding that it
was to continue until the entire system
represented by ct year's municipal
toiubln was xpiinged." The Dispatch
should not txpeet too much reform all
ut once. Great Improvements ' are
gradual. -
It is greatly to be regretted that 'Yfcm.
Chr.'rles A. Dunn has found that lie will
be unable to deliver the next address at
Wyomins moiiuniint on Massacre day.
A speech from this great American,
who Is a great- fiiadson of one of the
victims of !TTS, would have been prized
as of exceptional Interest and value.
May be he enn come at some future
time. Let us hope so. j
"At the present moment," says Wal
ter Wellman, with a glance of pride at
his "fair Him re of success' In forcusting
the action of past nutlonul conventions.
"the chances for Mr. McKlnley to beat
the field nre as good as two to one."
In three months, however, changes are
possible.
THE MIXES BILL
From the Troy Times.
Hut one conclusion can be drawn from
a study of the measure, and that Is that
It will Kreatlv reduce the number of
denier In liquors, free the business from
the influence or local political manipu
lators, and .place those who continue In
the traffic on a higher plane of Inde
pendence, so long as they obey the law
In letter and la spirit. All estimates
concede that the tax to be levied will
Increase the receipts of the several com
munities, and at the same time greatly
reduce the demands upon the taxpayers
to meet state expenses.
It Is believed that the prevailing senti
ment in this state Is in favor of higher
taxes upon liquor selling, and more
stringent regulation of the business. The
better class of liquor dealers also fa.T.r
this, for the realize that It will put them
on a more respectable footing and relievo
them from the necessity of uuvlne tribute
of petty local political schemers. The best
people ot the slate ravor it because it
puts the liquor business where It can ba
controlled without the interference of
local favoritism.
I he rn ted States revenue law Is nevor
dodged, because the dealers know th.M
no "pull will save them In case or vio
lation. Similarly, state supervision of the
business will work for good because of
the remote chance for escaping the penal
ties prescribed for illeiral practices. There
is an honest difference of opinion as to
the special met hod which should be em
ployed, but no one who has the good of
the people at heurt doubts the virtue of
state supervision. In the opinion of the
eglsluiiire the best plan Is to creiif? a state
cxcls commission, with under official to
cover the whole territory carefully and
efficiently. If the actual working of tho
comii i.slon comes short of the popular ex
pectation, the next legislature can muke
such modillc trt!oh: us' experience ln-iy
shuw to be wise. In so radical a depc.n-
lire from the old methods It is not to be
expected that uerfectloii will be attulncd
all atonce.
Under the new plan the stato govern
ment becomes responsible for the enforce
ment of the law In all sections. If vio
lations are permitted the blame can be
placed easily, and the remedy tor per
sistent mismanagement will lie ut the
Dolls. Under the old wiiy a local machine
could wink at saloon huv breaking and
the people were helpless. Some objection
is inude to the state commission on the
score of cost. The Increased tax will mora
than offset this. Moreover, the cost of the
vui lulls liniil boards under the old law
has exceeded many limes the tolul posd
blc expense under the state plan. The
exneiise itiKiimctit amounts to nothing.
The general principle Is correct. If er
rors have been made in -tile details there
will be full opportunity for removing
tin m. The business of the whole people
Interested in morality nnd good govern
ment now Is to aid in giving the new reg
ulations a fair nnd thorough trial.
