Tho opinion of Depuly Attorwy On eml Klkln upon the ixilnt ihIh-I with reference to the payment f. the elistrle't assessors fur mnkinu mi enumeration of children of school iikp puts out of the wny the last teihnli'al olttuetloti to n. full, fair nml honest trial in Penn sylvania of compulsory cduciitlnn. Now let that trial ro on. Carlisle's Chicago Speech. The Bpeoch made by Secretary Cnr llsle nt Chicago last nlRlit on the cur rency eiuestlon, the substance of whic h Is t lsewherc reported, very clearly out lines the dangers of unlimited (diver coinage, which would, as he points out, probably drive out Rold unci leave us with the BlnKle silver standard. The great majority of thoughtful Ameri cans, we take It, do not want n single standard, either of K'dcl or of silver. What they want Is bimetallism, or what Is known (is the automatic double standard, consisting of i?old and silver used intercliaiiKeably. Mr. Carlisle professes to be a believer In bimetallism when It can be estab lished by international nit-reemi'nt. Vntil that time, he wants Bold to be the standard and silver made a token money, like paper. As between a pa per dollar standing for gold and o silver dollnr standltiR lor Rold, he would jiny SO cents for the silver dollarVhen he could (jet a good paper dollar, re deemable In Rold, ut the cost of n frac tion of a cent. Tt strikes us that this Is poor economy. If we bellevetd In a gold single standard, we would favor paper rather than silver token money, sinc e it would be n. great deal cheaper nnd also more convenient. Then sliver could go to the level of zinc or copper, and wo could pin our whole financial salvation to told nloue, of which there Is nhout $2,(100.0110,000 In the world and nbcut JfiOO.Oon.OUO AI r. Carlisle says $IH.-,000,000- In the United States. The Tribune agrees with the Demo cratic secretary of the treasury that the free and unlimited coinage by the United States of the silver of the world, at the ratio of 15'i or 16 to 1 would, na sliver Is now rated, prove hazardous, (in the other hand, It does not. despair of being able to take care of the silver produced In this country without refer ence to other nations. Hence It would put a prohibitive tariff on foreign sil ver nnd coin our own product, less tho amount used In the arts, on a parity with gold, nnd the prohibitive tariff would maintain that parity. This home sliver output Is now JU3,00fl,00O a year, all of which nt present irocs Into the arts or Is exported. Even If an improb able estimate it should reach $100,000, 000 a year under the stimulus of home coinage, not. more than half of that could get to the mints, and the like lihood Is that not more than 40 per cent would. Our natural growth In population and the business revival which this safe expansion of our cur rency would bring, would absorb 40, OOO.otu standard dollars a year, very nicely. Then, If the other nations wanted to join In anil make It international, so much the better. All but nine of the 111 annual confer ences In the Methodist church have voted on the question of admitting wo men lay delegates to the general con ference. The vpte stands in round num bers 7,000 for to 2,000 against suc h ad mission. It Is In order for some one to propose three cheers for the women of Methodism. To the Philadelphia Press. We beg to acknowledge the follow ing comment by the esteemed Philadel phia Press: "The Scranton Tribune is the one reputable and thoroughly Republican newspaper of tho state, so far as we have seen, that advocates Adoption by the coming state conven ' ton of an out and nut free sliver declaration. It Roes the whole ex travagant length in this matter. Hut It confesses the hopelessness 'of its cause, and believes the convention will take the. other course.";", .;'('.' The Press doubtless without Inten tion misstates the position of this pa per. It has never advocated on "out and out free silver declaration" at Har lUburg; or anywhere else; It has said, very plainly, that ths present political $ var on silver is a war on one of the nvist valuable of our natural resoutces, nn l that If persisted In to the point of K id monometallism will be the means of doing more harm than can readily be estimated. It has advocated the placing of a prohibitive tariff on all fi nlfiii silver, with free coinage for the American product, less the per centage of that product diverted to the arts. It btlleves that this can be done with entire safety, and that the doing of It would be an act of justice to Vhe people, by afforJin them a:i expanding cutitncy where today we. have a steadily contracting currency damas r.g to all native productive interests. It believes, too, thut the repeal of the Sherman purchase act has not btougut tl.e relief that was promised nt the t'tne of that repeal under the whip and spur of this bond-selling, debt -creating-l:cmocratic administration. If this be "an extravagant length." w.' have gone it. Hut In going that length we submit that we have not been more es iravagant than the Press has been In tinning its back on the bimetallism p'unk ndopted in 1S92 at Minneapolis, nn ! in declaring, Insistently und per sisteMly, for the single, appreciating gold standard. Liberty uf opinion und frank expres sion of that opinion In economic delate are not inconsistent with true Re publicanism; and The Tribune expects to remain u "reputable and thoroughly Republican newspaper" even though It lui'.i an occasional honest difference from Its distinguished and amiable Phllr.delphlu contemporary It Is decidedly unfair to Major Mc Klnley to have sume of his conspicuous newspaper champions come out every illlV III' two w Ith double-leailed reitera tions of his soundings on the financial ciucstlon. Of course, William Mckin ley Is for a sound currency. No Re publican of any prominence favors anything else. The only point ut Issue Is as to how that soundness shall be expressed In legislation. The University of the United States." For many years. In fact ever since Washington's time, It has been the wish of many lending educators nnd public! men that the United Stntes might es tablish and maintain, at some central point, now Invariably coincident with the federal capital, an Institution of higher learning which shall not com pete with but rather supplement the various colle-ges unci universities al reudy established In the land. A bill to this effect has at lost been favor ably reported to the sennte, and Its provisions are. worthy of careful atten tion. It provides that the proposed "Uni versity of the United States" shall be of post-graduate rank, with authority to establish co-operative relations with other Institutions of education and learning, In this or In other countries, nnd with power to confer degrees upon such persons' only as have previously received the degree of bachelor of arts or its equivalent, or who have re ceived certificates of graduation from some state educational institution. No applicant for admission fulfilling these requirements shall be excluded and neither sectarian nor purtisan Instruc tion shall be imparted. The goveis mi'nt of the institution is vested in a board of regents and a university coun cil, the former to be composed of the president of the United States, who shall be president of the board; the chief justice of the United States, the commissioner of education, the secre tary of the Smithsonian Institution, the president of the National Academy of Science, the president of the National Educational association, and the presi dent of the University, and nine other citizens of the United States, no two of whom shall be citizens of the same state, to be appointed by the president by und with the consent of the senate; and the latter to consist of the board of regents and twelve other citizens of the United States, to be appointed by the board of regents from eminent educators connected with institutions of learning in the United States. The board of regents are to be supreme in financial matters. For the organiza tion, preliminary work, and support of the university nn appropriation of $l.r, oop is made? for the fiscal year ending Juno SO, 1S9S. No permanent endow ment Is contemplated at this time, leav ing (o congress In the future to pro vide for thu institution by direct appro priation or by setting aside a portion of the proceeds of the sale of public lands or otherwise. The committee report accompanying this measure points out that the Insti tution ptoposed is designed to take a place In educational work now unfitted In the western hemisphere, a place for advanced study with fucilltles intended In time to be equal to those of any for eign university. After pointing out that each year between 2,000 and 3,000 American students go abroad tor post graduate study because there are no equal facilities for such study at home, the report concludes: Such an institution would powerfully contribute to the improvement of tha whole series of schools of the country, from the kindergarten to the university. It would correlate, broaden, elevate und strengthen the entire circle of the so called professions, not only furnishing but Indirectly elsewhere compelling better preparation for professional studies, with higher standards of professional attain ment, and hence broader and more thor ough courses of instruction. It would prove a most Important means of sup plying to a multitude of Industrial occu pations the sclentinc principles requisite to their 'highest success, thus dignifying labor und buililinic up many new profes sions. It would enlarge the Held of hu man knowledge by means of the original researches und Investigations of Its mem bers, while at the same time Inductlrig students of genius into the art of Inves tigation, thus helping mankind to an ear lier mastery over the hidden forces of nature. Such on Institution would prove a powerful defender, us well us discoverer und teacher of truth. Among Its mem bers there would alwuys be moral heroes us superior to the menaces of power as to the Insidious arts of the most, skillful und corrupt devotees of fulse gods men nolo to unmask error and hold to stand for tho right ut all hazards. The sacreitncps of truth, freedom of thought, nnd freedom of speech will be the Inscription upon its portals. The proposed university Is also a patriotic necessity. It would secure to us as a great people the Independence we need In things Intellectual, it would strengthen our. love of country, und sn prove a new and powerful nufcguurd of free Institutions. It would gather to Its seat not only persons of genius and of lofty aspirations from all portions of the Union, but from all parts of the civil ized world, thus at once stopping the pres ent exodus to foreign Institutions for fldi vantages we do not here furnish, and turn: ins- the tide of superior learning to our own shore. It would help the United Slates la a commanding influence as a btnetteent power among the-aations; to a practical leadership In the march of civilixation. These may sound like immoderate words, but if we accept the belief that the safety of free government rests up on popular education they gain . Irre sistible force. Certainly no other place In the worid Is better fitted to be the site of such a university than is the cap ital city of the foremost republic, with Its increasing treasures of learning and its multiplying facilities of schol arly research In practically every sub division of human knowledge. Maybe the location in Washington of such a fountain of broad scholarship would have a purifying influence on American IHilitlcs nt the focus of national politi cal activity. At allevents it would prove in other ways an Inestimable public benetlt. .. Senator Cameron Is quoted as having said recently at Washington: "I am going to be the next president of the United States. I will not be elected as a Republican, nor as a Democrat; 1 will be nominated and elected as a sti ver advocate, and a protectionist of f moderation. My administration will not be- partisan, but will be one of Individuality. My cabinet will not be geographical, but national. It will not be selected because of former political alllllatlons, but bwnuse of the charac ter nnd individuality of the men to be chosen. U.Will be the administration which will mark the beginning of a new political era In this country." If the sage of Lochlel said that, he was probably joking. Silver or no silver, the next president will b. a Republi can. . The respectable newspaper press of the country owes to the Chicago Tlmes llerald and to Its energetic editor and proprietor, u debt of gratitude for the demonstration which thai Journal has given to the country that newspupers may be clean and pure and wholesome without ne'cessarlly bring dull. The Times-Herald, daily and Sunday, Is a mine of decent Information put in at tractive form, and no one can read it without feeling in some ways repaid for the trouble and in no way the worse for the contact. We mention this cir cumstance at this time because the Chi cago Tlnies-Hcrald is so different from the sensational press of Gotham, par ticularly the New Work World. (in Wednesday and Thursday of next week a national conference will be held In Washington to promote internation al arbitration. . About the same time President Cleveland will sign a bill ap propriating $11,000,000 for new war ships. HOLMES' LATEST. i As a rule, Jests about manslaughter are not In the best of taste, but in the case of the facile confessor and munument.il liui, ilerman 11. Holmes, this rule stinis waived. He clearly is u romancer who delights to shock people solely for the no toriety It brings him, and upon whom con siderate treatment would be waited. The Pittsburg Times gets off this amusing bit of burlesque on Holmes, which puts his gory pretensions to the right kind of 1 Mi mic: Philadelphia, April 13. The accomplish ed murderer and humorist, Ha Ha Holmes, mude a full confesjon yesterday. It was mado in the presence of his press agent and his b:ilness mdnnger, both of whom vouched for its authenticity. This is not Mr. Holmes' first authentic con fession, und his manager was grieved to say would not guarantee thai it thull be his last. Mr. Holmes wo: reluctant to do literary work on the Sabbath, and only yielded out of ! mmthy for th relatives of his late vletlms, forty-seven of whom, he said, are now living In the Greater Pi'tshi:.-. ilfe ii;io stipulated that the iloci'inc.'.t thould be duted on .Xiondav, to that its (tiitncntlclty could not be ques tioned In court. Mr. Holmes' latest autobiography Is the result of more mature deliberation. It Is better In its literary style, and tho inci dents are arranged to give a better effect. He suld substantially: "I am the orlgnal man with the marble heart. I also used the glad hand, but found It effective only in female cases, and, as I found more Improved methods of seducing thei to their fate, 1 abandoned It after complet ing my series of Whitcchupel murders, Whntever credit Is due me, I owe only to my mother. She tlrst taught mt the taste for paregoric, under the influence of which drug I committed most of my assassina tions and dbl till my canvassing for II fo Insurance, it supplemented a lack of nerve which might otherwise have proven fatal to my career. 1 am now insane. This I do not reckon as one of my own unaided accomplishments, it is due main ly to the fact thut my rascally jailers have refused to furnish my wonted dram. They say the drug Is not for sule in Philadel phia, us there is no need or demand for it." Mr. Holmes did not give the names of his victims In this confession, as he bus mislaid his typewritten list, and does not wish to contradict his former confes sions. "My memory," said he, "hus gone with my Intellect. It does not signify, as 1 never Inquired the name of the mini or woman whose throat I was about to silt." Mr. Holmes Is certain, however, thut he, and none other, killed Cock Rob In. His Kngllsh experience, he said, was limited. Outside of the Whltechapel mur ders he hud but one victim, Charles I., whom he beheaded. He suld that It was he who had aided "Paddy" McOraw to escape, and that he had nailed on thu 111 which covered "Shoebox" Miller. A pre vious engagement, he said, rendered it impossible for him to be present at Cain's murder of Abel, a fact for which he ex pressed considerable repentence. He said that he alone could reveal the hiding placo of "BUI" fritz, and that he was the real J mvemor oi me uauing gun unci inc. diuu lic.ttan cocktail. Mr. Holmes referred with scorn to the imitators who have sprung up In the shadow of his great success. He said that he will udci more details from time to time, us he can think up names for his victims, and he had requested to be fur nished with directories of all the princi ple! cities of the country, so that this de partment of his business may be made easier. He has made a record of his murders by marking his chest with char coal, one mnrk for each ten victims, but the bath which he was obliged to take on entering prison has destroyed his ac counts, so thnt even the number Is now In doubt. He Is now writing a three-act play.' M'KimVS LICK. Wellman, In Pittsburg News. There Js such a thing as luck In this world. If any one doubts this, let him tnk the case Of William McKlnley, Jr., of Canton. O.. I wns talking about Mr. McKlnley's etuse recently with one of the veteran members of the house, and his re marks were rather Interesting. It Is well to bear In nilnd that he Is a great ad mirer of thctOhlo statesman ami to miike some allowances for his enthusiasm, but his talk Is worth reading Just the sum'.'. "McKlnley Hi perhnps the luckiest man In America, "isald he. "Here he is on the highway to t'ie white house and no one able to stop Mm, But just stop and think of the thing! thut have contributed to his success. 1" he had beaten Tom Heed for speaker ate years ago some one else would huve bctn chairman of the commit tee on ways a) id means and would huve had his namcj associated with tho tariff act of 1890. if might have been Reed or Hurrows or Jef Cannon or Dnve Hender son. It could t,ot have been McKlnley. I remember whin Reed won tho speaker ship McKlnle was sore. He thought his career had ricelved a decided backset, but he didn't lnow his luck. "Another -lti'ky t'lilng was that the country did ntt take kindly to the Mc Klnley law wfen It first appeard. They turned thai oouhtry over to the Democrats In 1890, and alaln In 1892, nnd McKlnley was uenouncea rrotn one enu or tne land to the other, w men thought he could recover from fiat blow, but 1 know that the rafts ef- Mr. McKleUy him sett nover wavered. He never for a moment lost confidence In the ultimate triumph of hl Idea and he aim-ays had a notion that when the Idea came to the front again he mould be sure to come with ft. It waa lucky for McKlnley again that the Demo crats managed to squeeze out a majority in the senate, and thus obtained full pos session of the government. This enabled them to pass the Wilson-Gorman law at a time when the country was entering upon a period of hard times. Some think the hard times would have come anyway through natural causes. Others think the Wilson-Gorman law brought them on. This Is a matter of opinion, and we don't need to discuss It. The great fact Is thut the hard times and the Democratic, tar iff law came together. The Democrats had to take the responsibility. If they had failed to pass their luw and you re member how close they came to failing It would have been bad for McKlnley. Rut they squeezed their law through by a scratch, and Cleveland came mlgh'y near vetoing it. but didn't, nnd thus Mc Kinley was relieved of all responsibility. The people had been prosperous under the McKlnley law, while under the new tariff they had panic and hard times. What more natural than that they should demand McKinleyism again? And did you ever see such a series of luck? "Nor Is this all. It was the most fortu nate thing In the world that McKlnley was retired from the house after the Kifty-llrst congress. As governor of Ohio he was out or the way of all the storms. He could make neither enemies nor mistakes. He wus off to one side, and the power of the Idea did all the rest. Mad ne been returned to congress there Is no telling what blunders he might have made or what accidents might have be fallen him. All this makes tin a chanter of good fortune that rarely comes to a public man. und the hand of f ale, appears to be In it." A M klM.KV ESTIMATE. Handy In the Times-Herald.
