RF.M ULICAN' STATE CONVENTION.
To the Republican doctors of Pennsylva
nia. The Republicans of Pennsylvania, by
their duly chosen representatives, will
meet In state convention Thursday, April
23. 18, at 11) o'clock a. m., in the opera
house, city of Harrisbiirg. for the pur
pose of nominating two candidates for
repreisentatlve-at-largo in congress nnJ
thirty-two candidates for presidential
electors, the selection of eight delegates-at-large
tj the Republican national con
vention, and tor the transaction of B'lcli

The rlffht of Ruthven or anybody else
to ppeak without molestation no long
ns he remains within the limits of the
law cannot be gainsaid. It Is unfor
tunate from every standpoint that this
right should have been challenged by
the Punmoro mob. It will only put
weapons In Ruthven's hands.
Brightening Business 5kies.
Although the recent popular bond
loan was by no means what It should
have been, ns n. matter of detail, It
being "popular" only to a limited de
gree. It Is nevertheless proving Itself
to be, In demonstrated consequences,
a decided Improvement over the pri
vate syndicate deal of a. year ago. For
instance, ther records of the treasury
department show that the net imports
of gold last month were $!l.:i7"i,::Sil, or
more than twice the net Import of
February, 1S3, under the operation of
the contract with the Morgan syndi
cate. , This bespeaks a return of con
fidence iii lie solvency of the govern
ment and In the trustworthiness of
American obllsatlons which needs no
elaboration.
The total proceeds of the bonds up to
the close of Inst week were $103,001,108,
of which $93,101,800 has been paid In
or- account of principal, $10,260,477 on
account of premium and $135,831 for
accrued interest. The total proceeds,
when all installments have been paid,
wjll be about $111,250,000. The official
reserve, which now stunds at about
$128,000,000, will rlae. la about $135,000,
000, if losses continue small nnd all
remaining Installments are paid in gold
obtained from outside the' treasury.
Hardly so favorable a result as this is
looked for by treasury officials, but it
Is hoped that, owing to the contraction
of the volume of currency and the de
mand for money, the reserve may be
kept Intact for several weeks in the
neighborhood of $130,000,000.
Another good effect of the latest loan
Is shown in the increase which It lias
caused In national bank note circula
tion. It Is claimed at the treasury that,
Judging from present Indications, this
circulation will rise by the end of April
to about $225,000,000, representing un
Increase of about $13,000,000 over the
figures before the rail was Issued for
bids for the new londs. The orders for
currency during January were $10,370,
750, during February, $5,r.53,0)0, and
during the first three weeks of March,
$1,500,000. These orders of more than
$17,000,000 have only been partly tilled,
but the circulation ha already risen
above $218,000,000, as compared with
$213,000,000 on January 31.
The effect of this Increased circula
tion, superadded to the gain In gold
Imports and the continuation by the
mints of their accustomed volume of
coinage can scarcely be other than
beneficial to business operations. It
means a partial but welcome release
from the stringency which bus for near
ly three years depressed all branches
of domestic, commerce. There will be
no marked revival until the tariff Is
put back on a protective revenue basis;
but for even this small immediate gain
the people will be thankful.
1 Sad to relate, the Carlisle boom
doesn't seem able to stand alone. Our
friends, the enemy, may yet have to
take Whitney.
Growth of Temperance Reform.
Kxtremlsts upon the subject of tem
perance reform may refuse to regard
the gradual change of the people's al
coholic drinks from distilled to malt
liquors as much of a gain for temper
ance; yet the consensus of opinion,
scientific and philanthropic, will un
doubtedly be that it is a gain, and a
considerable one. Although the quan
tity of malt liquors consumed today is
larger' than heretofore, the general
truth Is easily established both by ob
servation and statistics, that drunken
ness as a personal vice and as a dis
turbing social agency, Is less marked
than at any prior time.
In 1887 the average annual' consump
tion of malt liquors in the United States
was 6.31 gallons per capita of our
population. There has been a gradual
increase until 1895, when it reached 14.95
gallons. The highest rate on record for
any year was 16.08 In 18 Jl The per
capita consumption of distilled llquprs,
however, has slightly fallen off. In
1S69 it was 1.69 gallons for every Inhab
itant. In 1S95 It was 1.2 gallons. The
highest average reached whs ?.07 gal
lons in 1E70. -
Doubtlcsa Improvement In'rerpett to
temperance has seemed Blow to those
who keenly realize the evils of intoxi
cation. .But if alow it Is none? the less
sure. The forces at work for sobriety
today are unquestionably stronger thun
ever before. One of the most potent of
these is the general odium which now
adays attaches to Intoxication, a force
much less conspicuous twenty or even
ten years ago. The tightening line3 of
commercial restraint form another rig
nltlcant agency iu bchulf of temiier
Slice... The workman today becomes
Intoxicated at his peril. Few luisitions
are open to the habitual and expensive
drinker. The schools, too, are touch
ing, as never before, the physical dan
gers of overindulgence In drink. And
lu addition, all the old temperance In
strumentalities uiv at work, with aug
nieuted effectiveness.
The outlook for temperance reform
Is brighter today thun it has ever been
before.
That eccentric but nevertheless phe
nomenally gifted actor, Richard
Mansfield, Is to be congratulated upon
finding In- Daniel Frohman a manager
rich enough and experienced enough
to keep him iu successful theatrical
paths. Mansfield, with all his oddities,
is a player whom the serious stage
could not afford to spare.
Trying Something New.
"Thoughts on fonijiulsory KUuea
tlon" was the subject of an address
delivered a few days ago by In-. Na
than V. Sliucffer, state superintendent
of public Instruction, before the depart
ment of municipal government and
education of the Civic club of Philadel
phia. The doctor's thoughts were wise,
timely und forcefully expressed. Tin
first of them was an attempt to Im
press upon his hearers the need of
choosing us school directors the very
best men to be had. Said he:
The Judtfe of the court In one county
recently asserted that he Knew ot no cor
porate body of men in the stute of -Penn
sylvania more poweiTiil than a school
huai'd unless It was unother school hoard,
The school board Is vested wilh power to
select xenuol sites, erect the buildings
i mploy the teachers, lix the salaries, levy
the taxes, adopt the courses of study, se
lect the text bonks, ufter consulting the
teachers, disburse llie state upprouriutuin.
and determine whether the children of
Pennsylvania shall have more than thu
minimum term or schoollm; tlxed by law.
The compulsory education act of WJ fur
ther enlarges these powers by authoriz
ing the school board to pass upon the ex
cuses which are olfered for non-attendance
at school; thus it makes them, to
some extent, responsible for the future
Illiteracy ol the people of this common
wealth. Hence It is the patriotic duty of
every voter lo cast his ballot for the best
person lo lilt the olllee or school director
regardless of creed, sex, color or politlci.
Coining to the subject of compulsory
education, and more especially to the
question of Its justification be said;
The day for iiik'uIiik whether we should
have u compulsory act or not has gotm
by. Jt is simply u question whether the
present act shall be enforced or can- he
enforced. If the law is n bud one, the best
way to secure Its repeal is to enforce it.
If any of lis provisions are Imnleoimle or
unwise, let It be amended. Perhaps the
mere itttempt to enforce it will bring to
light the causes which now keep childr-n
out of school. I look at this matter whol
ly from the standpoint of the child. lOv-
cry child has the right to an education;
und not even the straggle for bread can
excuse modern society for depriving any
child or the rudiments or an education.
.Moreover, it Is it mutter of self-preserva
tion with the stale lo educate its citizens,
u free government the people who rule
or help to elect the rulers must be sull!-
ciently enlightened lo cast their votes In
telligenlly. otherwise the very existence or
free government Is imperilled. In different
ways the slate asserts Us right to pro
lect itself against danger and destruction.
It nllicts deuth tor treason. Imprison
ment for violation of Its laws, tuxes for
he support ol its judicial ami executive
machinery. Jt indicts penalties upon
those thai disturb its good order and wel
fare, it punishes parents for cruelly to
children and to animals. Why should wo
hesitate -to punish those In charge of n
lilld for depriving I Hat child or school
advantages and cursing It with Ignorance
nil Us days'." It Is never wise to follow
the example of the ostrich, which Is fa
bled to bury Its lace In the sand for the
purpose or hiding from itself coming
danger and destruction. Alinough we
have increased our slute aid to live and
n half minimis and raised by loetil taxa
tion between thirteen and fourteen mil
lions more, we have failed to keep pace
with other states und oilier lands lu re
ducing the percentage of Illiteracy .unions
our population,
This last ass"rtlon the doctor pro
ceeded to fortify, ns follows: "Reck
oning upon the basis of illiteracy to the
total population ten years of age nnd
over, Pennsylvania ranked twentieth In
1870; twenty-third in 1880 and twenty-
seventh in 1S90. If we base cur esti
mate upon the percentage of Illiteracy
to the native white population ten
years of age and over, Pennsylvania
In 1S70 ranked twenty-second; In 1SS0
twenty-fifth, and In 1S90, twenty-ninth.
In other words If we conceive of a
spelling class whose boys are named
after the states of this Union, and
who are ranked to the percentage of
illiteracy we are compelled to admit
that the other boys have been trapping
the Pennsylvania boy, nnd that our
boy Is gravitating towards the tail end
of the class. In view of tills fact Is
it not wise for us to try something
new? Is it not the public, duty of
every one to help to the full extent of
his power In making our compulsory
act effective?" Clearly,, yes. The law
Is on the statute books. It deserves a
fair trial. Let it be honestly enforced.
Senator Chandler quotes hearsay
evidence to prove that the McKinley
managers are making a corrupt use of

The Republic of Canada."
The Montreal correspondent of the
Sun, who concerning political ques
tions In Canada gives evidence of be
ing well-informed, declares his belief
that however much the new Kepubll
can movement may be ridiculed by the
dominion authorities, It is likely to gain
headway rapidly among the farmers
and small land-owners. Two classes,
of course, violently disavow sympathy
with the separatists the office holders,
to whom fealty to England, with Its
generous personal emoluments, Is very
pleasant; and the Illiterates, who have
been purposely inspired with an Irre
sponsible attachment for the British
flag. But between these extreme class
es Is a conservative middle group made
up of men able to read and to reason
for themselves. Many persons belong
ing to this class are naturally curious
to know why, If the present regime
means only Increasing Indebtedness
for the dominion with no counterbal
ancing benefits, they should consider it
worth while to continue Indefinitely an
alliance from which England derives
the great bull: of tho profits.
As we- have pointed out on previous
occasions, Canada, under Pritlidi rule,
Is practically at a standstill. Children
are not born as fast as their ancestors
find it to their best Interests to cross
over the Una Into the United States.
Thus the population of the dominion
13 virtually stationary, whllo Industry
In a majority cf the provinces Is stag
nant and agriculture more unremuner
atlve every your. Tho per capita debt
Is between $S0 and $70 and Is slowly but
steadily growing. While Canadlann
t-njoy a large measure of nominal free
dom, they are effectually enslaved tln
nnciully by a horde f lapacioti.t office
holders who could teach Tammany
points lu the urt of getting much f:.r
iiot!iln;r. The rabble, who have noth
ing ta hope for under any system, may
cheer the Criti.-h f iiibUin, whK'i ssluiida
for this ominous combination of enlarg
ing public debt und private deficit: but
it seems to us Inevitable thut one of
these days the luird-headt-d middle
classes will subordinate artificial sen
timent lo -vry-day common reuse and
take steps to end the reign of Kuropean
rsinecurists.
Bo far us Aim-rlcuns are concerned,
tho whole subject is one of purely
speculative Interest. Our sympathies
are naturally with republican Institu
tions und some of us have marveled
greatly at the obtiirrncrs of the Cana
dian mind In preferring un r.rrango
ment of no possible benefit but really
of harm to Cunudu, to the obviously
logical proposition or Independence,
lint there is probably ai.iong the mass
of Americans no other feeling lliuii
languid Indifference to Cumtila und all
her problems. The Idea, which has
been artfully disseminated among Can
adians by royalists, that our people arc
aching to get a chance to pull the do
minion nolens voleiis Into the Ameri
can union is as fur from the truth us
the sloth and general down-ut-the-heel
appearuneo of Canada Is far from the
brisk und inviting prosperity discerni
ble the moment one passes from the
queen's dominion into the fulled
States.
There Is no good reason why the St.
Trulls convention should not adopt Sen
at or Quay's municipal reform plunk.
Whether he meant it or not, the fact
remains that It is the most concise
wording of needed changes in munici
pal and state government which the
movement for cleaner politics lias yet
evolved; and in genuine Importance it
Is quite the- equal of any other Issue
now before the country.
THE HYPNOTIZED REPORTER.
I have noticed In the nnuers reeentlv
that a curlew wave has been pusslug over
certain portions of the country and that
ordinances are being passed by wise coun
cllmcn making it u crime for children to
ne uliowed on the streets ut night long
after sundown. It has been hinted that
some of the roving curfew agitators In
tend to visit i'ranton at some future data
und tuke steps to have the young people
of the city in bed ut proper hours. This
movement seems to be on par with tho
efforts of some of the enthusiastic mem
bers of the New York society lor preven
tion of cruelty to children, who have
driven many talented little ones to star
vation because they were considered -too
young, to act on the singe. There Is no
question that ninny children are on the
streets ut night long alter Ihey should be
iu immi, out. tne curlew law thut would
make a criminal of any boy or girl who
happened to be caught on the streets after
tli ringing of the bell would rertulnlv be
of no benefit to the community. If a cur
few law is passed It should be un ordlnan.-e
that would cull lu the blear-eyed loafers
who stand on street corners and Jostle de
cent people; the married men who stay
out late on evenings thut the lodge meets;
and members of the amateur glee clubs
who sing the soldier's farewell ut mid
night. A curfew of this nature would be
real blessing. If no one but hanuv.
harmless children were allowed on the
streets after sundown the world Would be
better for II.
II II II
Speaking of streets. I am reminded thut
for a busy thoroughfare Spruce street Is
In ubout the worst condition of any street
upon record. .Merchants attempting to
transact business on Spruce street have
been badly handicapped for some time
past by building opera I Ions. in some
uses I he accumulation of building mate
rial ami rubbish has been unavoidable.
In others an utter disregard for Ihe rluhls
of a neighbor hus been expensive for the
neighbor. I he business of one merchant
1 a in told has been ruined bv htiildinir
operations near his store. Property own
ers along Spruce street, between Wyom
ing unci I'enll avenues are anxious I hut
the ruLblsh stored on that block shall be
removed and that the street shull be re
puved. They stand reudy to settle for
I Heir snare ol the cost. It Is huped that
tho councils and sti-eel commissioner will
act when the weather will permit. The
condition of this important thoroughfare
In the heart of our city would be a dis
grace to the borough of luiumorc.
H il II
We hear a great deal about art these
lays, ami local und other writers never
tire In the tusk of extending sympathy to
wealthy people who have been swindled
into buying paintings which are not
wretched enough in construction uiul col
or und gruesome enough in subject matter
to be classed among the masterpieces nf
i-plash. J om e saw a picture representing
a sunrise. There was little to the paint
ing save ine sKy crrocis. lint tne rosy
blush of a summer morn was reproduced
ill a wsy I hut fascinated the lover of na-
Hure. It wus a picture ut which one might
gaze for hours und never become weary.
The effects In color which so uuihruliy
portrayed Ihe birth of glorious duy hail,
it seemed to me, Is en produced bv iiuiL-lc.
and the work throughout possessed u sub
tle charm mat was irresistible. Yet I
have been told that I hat picture wus
not a work of art. I have been informed
-thai a dingy piece of canvas thut look hs
though It had lieeir pelted with lamp
black and mud balls, Is reilly the wo'k
which we should admire. The skv rffee's
of the palnler who produced the snnriye
must he classed with work of the light
ning nrtlst who paints a landscape for
cents while you wait. Of course it will
not do to question Bur critics. They are
Etipposed to know, but when a intin who
has puid a good, round sum for u paint
ing which has been the object of admira
tion for years, -perhaps, suddenly learns
that his purchase Is not art at all, but
mere trash, he must feel as Insignificant
ns though he had been harboring a back
peer sign.
POLITICAL POINTS.
Altoona Tribune: "The candidacy .if
William H. Andrews for the chairmanshln
of the Republican state committee Is one
which should be discouraged by Senator
Quay. Andrews Is one of the worst men
n t'ennsylvanin; nn is also one or the most
inponulur. The Republicans of this com
monwealth have no love for the man: his
election to the chnlrmanship would not
overthrow the Republican supremacy in
the stute at the coming election, but It
would dishearten and disgust thousands
of eurnest, loyal Republicans, and it would
set in motion certain processes that would
culminate In Senator Quay's overthrow.
The senator has Inaugurated a crusade
on behalf of municipal reform ami rood
government generally. Hs sincerity will
