Every honest citizen will sincerely
trust that the reform movement in
Pennsylvania Republicanism will be
as good In its deeds as In Its promises.
Those Mckinley Instructions
There were jrood and sufficient rea
sons for the refusal of the Ilarrlsburg
convention to adopt the Robinson reso
lution Instructing the delegates-at-large
to suppcrt McKlnley for second
choice. To begin with, it Involved the
practical equivalent of a vote of no
confidence In the prospects of the in
structed first choice, Senator Quay; and
would have been as If the Republicans
of this state had said In so many
words: "We pledge ourselves to sup
port Quay while he Is a candidate, but
we don't believe he has any show and
we don't care who knows It." That
would have been neither sensible as an
act of politics nor consistent as a mat
ter of logic. If it had been the opinion
of the convention that Quay was not
a possibility It should either have
passed no instructions of any kind or
else should have declared a preference
for one of the other candidates.
There would have been entire pro
priety in adopting a resolution declar
ing Major McKlnley the preference of
the convention in the event of Senator
Quay's retirement. That would have
stated nothing which Is not known by
every Republican in the state to bo
true. But such a statement of prefer
ence should not have been coupled with
definite Instructions, for the simple rea
son that conditions between now and
June 7 may change so as to make in
structions embarrassing. The state
convention itself supplied an illustra
tion iii point, in the case of the Lu
zerne delegation which several weeks
ago had foolishly tied to Frank Willing
Leach and consequently found itself
unable to obey its inclination and the
inclination of its constituency by offer
ing Its support to John P. Elkln. '
' Instructions with regard to a second
choice would have been superfluous, for
the reason that should Quay cease to
be a candidate, the great majority of
the Pennsylvania delegation, would go
to McKlnley without them. There Is
no mistaking the popularity of the Ohio
candidate in this state. He has friends
in every election district, and In a large
portion of them they are In a decided
majority. Whatever may be the ex
planation of this strength, the fact
cannot be overlooked that It exists, and
that the delegates from Pennsylvania
to St. Louis will have to take cognizance
of It when the question of a second
choice presents itself. In the meantime,
there ought to be no division of senti
ment as to the propriety of Pennsyl
vania Republicans standing as a unit
for the candidate of Pennsylvania so
long as he shall remain a possibility in
the field.
Tho Philadelphia Record calla the
Harrlsburg money plank "grievously
disappointing." To whom?
The Tariff and Politics.
- A call has been issued for a conven
tion In Detroit, beginning June 2, of
representatives of the commercial man
ufacturing, labor and agricultural or
ganizations of the United States, to
discuss four subjects of general im
portance; first; ways and means of tak
ing the tariff question out of partisan
politics and establishing it upon a
stable business basis; second, the im
provement of the consular service par
ticularly with a view to Increasing its
efficiency as an agency in the promo
tion of our trade with foreign, and
especially Central and South American
countries; third, the advisability of rec-.
ommendlng to congress the creation of
a department of commerce, manufac
tures and labor; and lastly the advisa
bility of forming a permanent organi
sation for the purpose of making such
annual recommendations to congress In
relation to our laws or their adminis
tration as may be deemed for the best
Interest of' the country. Attached to
the call as one of the convention com
mittee we note the name of Captain W.
A. May, president- of the Sorantori
Board of Trade.
AH these propositions are manifest
ly In tho right direction, but the first
one will especially commend itself to
the approval of the business men of the
oountry. It Is scarcely necessary to
call attention to so obvious a fact as
that this substantia!" element In our
cltlsenshlp emphatically deplores , the
periodical eruption of tariff agitation
for partisan purposes and would give
its heartiest sanction to ' .any well
drawn plan" calculated to Tmovt this
vital sttbjtct from ths iphsrs of what
.!;.",.) ; ' 'v.'". ': . ''ri-
is called politic to that of non-partisan
consideration on a strictly busi
ness footing. The purpose of the De
troit convention, aa explained in the
present call, is to get congress to pass
a law defining how the tariff shall be
levied, and establishing as the funda
mental principle governing that tariff
that the duties levied on all goods Im
ported from any foreign country Into
the United States shall In all cases be
equal In amount to the difference be
tween the cost of producing those goods
in any foreign country and the cost of
producing them In the United States.
This Is the principle sought to be estab
lished, by congressional enactment; It
is proposed to entrust the practical ap
plication of that principle to a perman
ent court or commission, having pow
ers of investigation, rate-making and
enforcement, thereby doing away with
the frequent wholesale disruptions in
cident to congressional tariff-manlpu-latlcn,
and giving to American, com
merce an assurance of stability.
One of the most enthusiastic lndora
ers of this Idea Is President M. M. Gar
land, of the Amalgamated Association
of Iron and Steel-workers, Pittsburg,
He says: "I believe the tariff. In the
hands of a properly constituted com
mission, would be as well taken care of
as it would be by any committee on
ways and means. Tariff changes could
then be made without disturbing trade,
and no session of congress would be re
quired to make the changes. A com
mission of practical, well-Informed men
would keep the tariff duties at the right
place, all the time. There would be no
fights, no disarrangement of business
operations, and the tariff would be rec
ognized aa a part of the business of the
United States." Views of similar tenor
are expressed by numerous prominent
representatives of agriculture and the
learned professions, not less earnestly
than by boards of trade and chambers
of commerce. In fact, the wish that
the tariff be removed from politics is
well-nigh universal, and by the election
of a Republican administration this
year pledged to an early restoration of
protection It will, after the necessary
change from a deficit to a protective
basts, be for several years realized, per
haps for a generation.
No more convincing evidence that tho
Ilarrlsburg convention was a conven
tion of the people could have been given
than in the selection of ex-Speaker
Grow for another term as congress-man-at-large.
Galusha A. Grow Btands
almost alone as the connecting link be
tween statesmanship of the past and
present, and the recognition of the life
services of this distinguished represen
tative of the unswerving Republican
ism of northeastern Pennsylvania was
In Itself a proof that the wishes of the
people in this section of the state were
taken Into consideration in the selec
tion of the ticket.
Women and Methodism.
The announcement several days ago
that what Is known in Methodism as
the Hamilton amendment, which au
thorized the admission of women as
delegates to the general conference,
had been carried was premature. The
situation, both past and present, with
reference to this Interesting subject is
clearly outlined by the Altoona Trib
une, which after pointing out that a
proposition to amend the constitution
of the Methodist church must receive
the support of three-fourths of the
traveling ministers of the church pres
ent and voting, as well as a two-thirds
majority of the general conference,
adds:
"The discipline of the church does not
distinguish between sexes, but there is
an explanatory note which says that
wherever the word 'layman' occurs It
shall be taken to mean both men and
women. A layman, within the mean
ing of the law, Is anybody connected
with the church who Is not a bishop,
or a traveling preacher in good stand
ing In his conference. It would seem
from this that men and women are on
an equality in the Methodist Episcopal
church. And this Idea is strengthened
by the fact that a woman may' be a
steward, a class leader or a Sunday
school superintendent, and th'us a
member of the quarterly conference,
which quadrennially elects delegates to
the lay electoral conference, which, in
turn, elects the lay delegates to the
general conference.
"Acting upon this theory, and be
lieving that the women of the church,
who do the greater part of its work and
are the prime instruments of its pros
perity, should be represented In the
law-making body, several lay electoral
conferences in 18S8 elected women rep-
resenlallvea. The opposition to their
admission was led by Dr. J. M. Buck
ley, then, as now, editor of the New
York Christian Advocate, and the bish
ops, assuming an authority which they
did not possess under the law, ex
cluded the women from the seats to
which they were chosen, until after the
conference had been organized. After
wards this action of the bishops was
confirmed by a slender majority and
the women were not admitted.
"During the next quadrennlum con
troversy waxed warm over this ques
tion, a proposition authorizing the ad
mission of either men or women as lay
delegates having been sent down to
the annual conferences. The laymen
were also given an opportunity to ex
press thejr Bentiments. When the gen
eral conference met in Omaha In May,
1802, It was discovered that while a
majority of Its members were favorable
to the admission of women, and while
the: proposition admitting' them had
received .a large majority of the lay
vote, It had not received three-fourths
Of the ministerial vote and was, there
fore, defeated. There has always been
an opinion among the friends of equal
ity that the bishops and the general
conference of 1888 had erred, and that
women were entitled to membership
without additional legislation, because
they are laymen. The fact that the ju
diciary committee at Omaha submitted
a report reaffirming their non-ellglbll-lty,
did not change the opinion of their
friends.
"Accordingly a proposed amendment,
known as the Hamilton amendment,
and providing that men only shall bo
eligible to membership In the general
conference, was sent down to the an
nual conferences for action. The lay
men were also to be given the privilege
of voting upon the proposition In No
vember, 1191 No sooner had the ten-
eral conference adjourned than "the con
servatives, who saw that thla particu
lar amendment was certain to be de
feated, and that Ita defeat Involved the
admission of women to the general con
ference, set up a cry of trickery, mak
ing auch an uproar that they alarmed
the more timid friends of equality,
leading such into their own camp. The
result was that nullification was resort
ed to, many of the conferences refusing
to vote upon the proposition, and many
of the preachers refusing to submit it
to a vote of their people.
"Subsequently, and In order to do
away with the accusations of trickery,
as well as to give the conservatives an
other chance to bar out women, the
Baltimore conference submitted anoth
er amendment providing that lay dele
gates may be cither men or women.
This has been generally voted upon by
the preachers, but the announcement Is
made that It has been defeated, falling
of the requisite three-fourths majority
by about a hundred votes. This may
mean the postponement of the admis
sion of women until 1900 or It may not.
Three women have been chosen, and
the majority of the conference will be
favorable to their admission. It is pos
sible, however, that the majority, as
in 1891, will defer to the conservative
sentiment and exclude the women for
the present. The majority are sure not
only of the Justice, but also of the cer
tain triumph of their cause."
According to our Altoona namesake,
the one thing which perplexes and an
noys the laymen Is that while they do
not presume to interfere with the min
isters in any rules and regulations that
the latter may see fit to make concern
ing the election of ministerial delegates
to the general conference some confer
ences electing as high each as seven
ministerial delegates to the limited two
laymen yet a mere one-fourth of the
ministers, plus one vote, now dictate
to the laymen concerning the person
ality of the delegates whom the lay
men may send. "There Is a growing
conviction," It adds, "that while It Is
well to guard the constitution of the
church against rash Innovations, this
class distinction should come to an
end." One cannot, under the circum
stances, deem this conviction unjust.
Greater New York, now to all practi
cal purposes a fact, will, by 1898, when
it goes Into legal existence, have 360
square miles against Chicago's 189, and
3,430,000 population against Chicago's
1,800.000. It will be the second city in
the world, but Chicago, we suspect,
will nevertheless contract to surpass
it within less than fifty years.
The Allegheny proposition to prevent
any office-holder from being a delegate
to any political convention would. If en
acted, be likely to raise quotations hi
the delegate market.
Senator Flinn's anti-bribery reform
bill deserves not only to be enacted but
also to be enforced, no matter who is
hit.
KEEPING SECRETS.
"Penn," in Philadelphia Bulleitn.
Some time ago an employe of an oM
bank on Third street was taken seriously
ill. Ho believed himself to be on his cleii'.l
bed. He was in a frame of mind which In
dicated great anxiety, and in the midst
of his delirious ejaculations he uttered
words of dire Import concerning his relu
tlons to the bank. They were overheard
by his physician, who conceived it to be
his duty to proceed straightway to the
bank and Inform its officers of the things
that had been revealed to him Involuntar
ily, if not unconsciously, In the privacy
and confidence of the sick room. The bank
had suspected littleor nothing to be wrong)
It immediately discovered that the eaves
dropper to a smitten conscience had
brought some truth, and the result was
publicity, shame and punishment scandal
to an estimable family and lifelong sor
row tor tne innocent.
i1, 11
slclan
Haw far the physician was justified in
communicating to the officers of the bank
his suspicions or what he had heard from
his patient, whether voluntarily or in
voluntarily, was a question which occupied
some attention at -the time on the part of
casuists and moralists. I think that the
trend of opinion was decidedly against
him. 'Most of the physicians in Philadel
phia to whom the question was put were
of the opinion that only tha. gravest con
cerns of the public welfare would war
rant such a disclosure. They could not
bring themselves to an acqulesence in
the suggestion that morality required
them to perform the office of the detective
or the minister of justice. Indeed, some
of them were disposed to look upon the
conduct of this zealous upholder of the
social fabric as that of a garrulous mischief-maker
or a feeble Bneak an oplon
In which as a layman I was In entire re
cord, as doubtless was every other man
who has had much occasion to observe the
happy effects often produced by -the pre
servation of the things given in the confi
dence of professional life.
These thoughts are suggested by tho
publication of the verdict of GOO, which a
iury has given against the famous Dr.
'layfulr, who Informed his wife and other
persons of the hi oral delinquencies which
he had discovered in the course of his pro
fessional attendance on a female patient.
There was no special need why he should
have said anything at all about the mut
ter to anybody. What he might say would
bo certain to produce Irretrievable In
jury to character the moment It passed
beyond the control of his lips. Whether
It was carelessness, or malice, or brutal
levity, which led to the disclosure is not
clear; but the court seems to have laid
down with unsparing vigor the principle
that the physician has no right to set hlm
selp up us a censor of morals or to play
the part of an Informer or a tattler, un
less It may be to prevent the commission
of a crime. ,
It Is unnecessary to Bay that this sense
of obligation to secrecy In the dealings of
the physician with his patient Is almost an
essential to the maintenance of society In
Its present forms. It Is certainly an es
sential to the happiness of Indlvuduals.
Matrimony is an Institution, for example,
which might go to wreck If silence was
less the duty of the physician. There
are few men or women who at some time
In their lives do not have occasion to ad
mit him to the Ipner secrecies of their
households, or to reveal to him some folly
or foible or weakness In which they or
their kinsmen or their children would In
cur the repraoch of scandal If It were to be
let 'out Into the light of day.
Indeed, It Is probable that there Is no
class of professional men In Philadelphia,
neither lawyers, nor the clergy, nor even
newspaper, men, who. obtain custody of
the secrets most dangerous to disclose
than the four thousand practitioners of
medicine. Tho ethics of the College of
Phvsloan on the subject are observed
with as much attention as the unwritten
law which forbids a physician to advertise
his vocation In the public prints. Tho
general tendency of Judicial decisions has
been to uphold them In refusal to break
the seal of seorecy In .the sick room, and a
man In the profession here guilty of th
conduct of Dr. William Pluyfulr would be
In danger of ostracism by his brethren.
U il. II.
Not less remarkable Is the care wltn
which the clergy as a rule decline to abue
the confidence of their charges and spirit
ual dependents. This Is particularly ex
emplified in the practice of the confession
al In the Roman Catholic church. They
sometimes come Into possession of secrets
which even the affection of filial loyalty
or the faith and confidence of wedlock
will not draw from the owner. Yet Bishop
Wood remarked once that he knew of no
onse In his diocese under his long admin
istration Involving the betrayal of the
confessional. Two or three years ago,
whon Mr, Palmer, the theatrical mana
ger, produced a play which - was sein
here under the title of "The Broken Seal,"
and In which the plot turned entirely on
the duty of a Catholic clergyman to dls
oloie a confession and Moure the ends of
Justice. Cardinal Gibbon, took occasion to
y publicly that be knew of no can--1
think ha aaid tola observation waa con
fined, however, to thla country of a delib
erate Dream ng or the seals by any pnssi,
Thero is little doubt, so far as a general
survey will warrant the belief, that this la
substantially true of the United State. It
la notable and well worthy of study that
a body of men Into whose ears are poured.
as In tho spirit of duty, such a multitude
of secrets should be proof against tha
temptation to tattle or to leak as the
Roman clergy.
II II II
I question, after all. whether any cUm of
men the Catholic clergy alone excepted
come ir.'to the possession of more Informa
tion, ronnaentlally or under pledge or se
crecy, professed or Implied, than tho edi
tors and reporters of the prees. There is
complaint. Indeed, very much complaint,
and not a little of It well founded, that
this rc-nfldence la abused. Tha truth Is
that the ethics of Journalism are still In
a primitive or tentative condition, But
if there Is one truth more recognised as
a fundamental and more manfully and
uencrouslv recognized, it la the dutv of
keeping faith with an Informant und of
protecting him from either curiosity or
reveiiKe. More than this, the amount or
information which In the course of a year
even the humblest newsiwper keeps se
cret, lest harm might be done to character
or estate la enormous. If a newspaper
were to be started in Philadelphia tomor
row which were to print only what all the
other newspapers could print, and don't
print, it would leap Into a circulation of
100,000 In twenty-four hours. I know that
respect for conversation or the amenltl
of the table or the unguarded impulses
of a clever tongue and the chivalrous spir
it of regard for Innocence, the exact sense
cf Justice and high-minded fidelity to a
promise not to print are becoming more
and more the scruples or Journalism, and
that they are not yet as recognised as they
should be among the virtues of the mod
who now control the press. The people
who raise an outcry and call for the ring
ing of the alarm belli" because of a 1)111
Smith libel In the Times or a Glrttrd
Trust company blunder In the Press, know
nothing of the vigilance with which a hun
dred such things are softened down, or
corrected or headed off, and yet often
when they are within the legal and con
vential limits. The quantity of printable
and eaallv salnble "ciliv" which Newspa
per men withhold because they will not
break contldtnce la the best proof that
journalism, llge tho clergy, tne tar and tne
physicians. Is rapidly arriving at the
same code of ethics on professional e-

Moqnette Carpets
Always beautiful, more so
this season than ever before;
Bolt a a mossy bank, bright
as a meadow in Jane. Many
of them have borders to
match. Pay you to give them
careful inspection.
Tbe New Mattings
Some jointless, some cord
warp, Borne plain, some fan
cy, and all good. They're
made of good live straw;
they're flexible and don't
senff out like the poorer,
dried-out sorts. What a cool,
cleauly, comfortable floor cov
ering they make, to be sure)
and so cheap, too, as we soil
them beginning at '10c. tbe
yard.
