It will gratify friends of the Scranton public schools to k'.'irn that rerent re ports of the i)ot:illillity of unotlur ani mated contest over the city cupeiln tetidency have lieeri without founda tion. We did not place much evodem;e in these reports; because from the first v.e found it dilllcuit to believe that any considerable number of the board of (ontrul could wish, so soon nfler the (li st elect lull of Professor Howell, to nutation the expediency of Ills hearty le-tlectlon. Now. however, that they have been authoritatively set al rest, all conct-nied may breathe more freely. Apart from the fact that the raisins of a contest at this time would have been an Injustice to the new superin tendent, who. notwithstanding that he ha thus far given exceptional satis faction, has not yet had opportunity to mature his polit y of contemplated ex tensions and liiioroveineiits, II is 1111 uuesiionably well that the schools, us far as possible, should be protected from the Inevitable distractions r.ml uncertainties of a political lii-lit for the superintendcnt'8 position. Ii there Is one branch of the public service which, next to the Judiciary, should by com mon consent be safeguarded from par tisan strife it Is the department of pub lio Instruction. The recognition of this fact already obtains In most cities, and It cannot too soon take practical hold of the minds of Scrantonians. Professor Lange, In his determination to resist the temptation to re-open the former competition, has undoubtedly added to the esteem In which he Is held by discerning: citizens. Though he were assured of a majority support, to displace the present superintendent at thin time, before he has had a fair thance to demonstrate his whole equip ment for the position, would be an un gracious victory. As It is, the re-election of the present, incumbent by a unanimous vote will challenge him to the demonstration of his fullest capa bilities and preserve the schools from an era of Inevitable friction and ill feeling. Because we called Brother Slngerly of Philadelphia a banker, the Sunday News says we have maligned him. This 13 the first Intimation we have seen that banking Is a disgraceful business. Muck-Throwing Begins Early. Democratic newspapers throughout the country are reprinting with appar ent gusto an article on McKinley'! rec ord ns u private business man which appeared originally in the New York Journal. The aim of Hie article l(i 'lo Impress the public with the belief that when the Ohio statesman was suddenly Impoverished by the failure of his part ner, Robert L. Walker, in February, WS. a syndicate of designing tlnanclers paid his debts with the expectation Ihnt tdiuuld he become president, they would be invested with- a kind of unwritten mortgage on the business iullucnces (tnd possibilities of the white house. The article Intimates that a syndicate of Wall street financiers has played the white house under Cleveland for a total profit exceeding $150,01)0,000; and the In ference sought to be implanted In the minds of readers of the Journal article Is that by paying off $118,000 worth of McKInley's paper three years ugo, five or six wealthy men then hoped anil now expect to realise equal If not greater returns. This narrative Is not new. It was In troduced Into the early stages of the fight for national delegates; and Re publicans, from Vermont to California, answered It by electing McKlnley dele gates. But now that McKInley's nomi nation seems assured, it Is used again. In the doubtless remote hope of injur ing him before the people. For our part, we do not consider that the libel Is of sufficient plausibility to require explicit denial. Judging from past In stances of similar misrepresentation. Its political effect, in the probable event of McKInley's nomination, would be helpful rather than hurtful to Re publican prospects. But as a matter of personal justice to the man whose In tegrity Is thus assailed, we deem it proper to quote the comment which that staunch Democrat, St. Clair Mc Kelway, editor of the Brooklyn Kagle and personally known to many rJcrnn tonlans, makes In reference to the fore going Attack. Hays he: "William McKlnley was In public life continuously tor over twenty years. In that time he attended strictly to his of ficial duties and lived within his salary. His law practice between whiles was incidental, slightly profitable and care fully attended to. Like a few other public men he had no time and little taste to give' to money-making or to money keeping. He turned over his avails to a business man, and the lat ter was supposed to have Invested them carefully and successfully. Mr. Mc Klnley sent all his money to him and drew drafts upon him for whatever ex penses that were presented. For year3 and years this habit continued, the ma jor paying no more attention to his friend's . business matters than . the friend paid to the major's public duties. Mr. McKinley had reason to believe, in a general way, that his own means and those of his wife together amounted to about $1.M,000. "Without tlther notice or warninir. and at once, this business friend failed. It then turned out that the distinction wl.ich should have b.-i n pitrservd by this friend between his own business Investments und the avails of which he had been put In trust had not been made, and that all had gone up to gether. That Is the way In which, when governor of Ohio, Mr. McKlnley found his own property gone and that of his wife. He owed no debts, for he lived within his means, but he owned nothing but his salary or wages from day to day. In these circumstances four or live of his personal friends, some of them Democrats, others Re publicans, and others Independent, of whom none had any relations with any Interests that were or could bo or had been affected by law, resolved that he should be placed exactly where he was before. They opened a subscription l u McKinley fund with contributions of their own and received subscriptions to it from various quarters. When exact ly the amount which tile governor and his wife lost hud been received the sub scriptions were closed and such ns came In after that time were returned. Neither Mr. nor Mrs. McKlnley knew or know from whom these subscriptions came, or in what amounts they came. The avails which they had lost were brought back again, and they were given in fee simple to the governor's wife. This Is the history In brief, hut In all, of this event. It Is a history which rellects credit on human nature. We do not believe that there Is any thing In the facts which Is discreditable to the McKillleys, but we do believe there is that charade." In them which can muke lying ubout them very dis creditable, either to Democrats or to Republicans." The national campaign of IhhS und als: thut of 1892 were conducted on clean and Impersonal lines. It was generally recognized by the people, and the fact was duly relleded by the po litical speakers and writers, that those contests were contests of principle. In which personal abuse had no' proper place. The appearance thus early in 1S!H! of a disposition on the part of cer tain politicians und Journalists to recur to the olfeiinlve methods of personal at tack which characterised the muck throwing battle of ISfl should lend the decent members of both parties to ex ert at once their entire Inltuence to have the tactics of llltliineMS promptly sup pressed. The second article In the current Forum Is an earnest appeal for the re tirement of the greenback, and Is writ ten by William Salomon, a member of the firm of Speyer & Co., bankers. Is It not singular that the vlclousness of the greenback as an instrument of finance was not discovered until a Democratic administration undertook to make 'it palpable to the people? Exploiting electricity. .This evening.-at 8 o'clock, In the In dustrial Arts building at the corner of Lexington avenue and Forty-second street, New York, Governor Morton will press a button, and simultaneously, by means of electrical power transmitted by wire from Niagara Falls, 462 miles distant, and In turn carried by tele graphic communication to San Francis co, New Orleans. Augusta, Me., and St. Paul, four cannon will thunder forth the signal which will commemorate the formal opening of the National ex position of Electrical appliances. Soon afterward, a message will be sent by cable from the international waters of Niagara to Queen Victoria informing her of the interesting event. This exposition, which marks the nineteenth annual convention of the Electric Light association of the Unit ed States, will be notable for the addi tional fact thnt Its organizers and pro motors represent an aggregate Invest ment or $750.(iOO.OOi. und include some of the greal-st inventors and electric ians in the world, umong them being Edison, Tcsln, Kllhu Thompson and Professor Bell. I,r ss tlmn u score , of years ago the electrical Industry was In Its Infancy and no niitn would have dared to dream of any one of the mar vels thai have since signalized its phe nomenal development. If nineteen years ago it had been hinted that the waterfalls of Niagara would ere 1897 be utilized to propel machinery on Man hattan Island by power transmitted along wires; or that within the ren tury men could converse with each oth er understnndlngly und with case, al though separated by the greater part or a continent; or that a great singer's tones could be punctuated on a sheet of foil, laid nway In a drawer for nn In definite period nnd afterward repro duced, electrically, Just as originally sung, the prediction would have been scouted as Inexpressibly preposterous Yet within the eusy memory of young men- these things hove all been achieved, anil they are but a tithe of thousands of mechanical and Inventive murvels which bestrew the Held of ap plied electricity. That we who are to day measurably young will llvo to wit ness parallel wonders In the nineteen years next succeeding cannot be doubted by any man who appreciates the teachings of the past. That Is a fortunate epigram to which Charles Emory Smith gives expression when, In speaking of Reed and Allison, lie says; "They are in an honorable rivalry and not In a vendetta." And the worst of It is that they don't seem to lie In. the rivalry to any alarming extent. . - .We observe that there Is some talk of Governor Hastings In connection with the-vice-presidential nomination. If the first place on the St. Louis ticket' should go to an Ohtoan, It Is hardly probable that an adjoining state could hope to secure the secondary honor. And In any event, when General Hast ings enters the I'nited States senate chamber It Is more likely to be as an active member with state credentials than as a presiding officer. The business of Edward H. Butler's Buffalo News has prospered so well In hia hands that it is to have a fine new home, equal to any newspaper office In the United States. Scranton train ing always counts. A Great Psner'5 Success. The Philadelphia Press announces that Its circulation has recently ut luined poi-portlons which have caused it to secure another mammoth press, this cue callable of printing 4S.0H0 twelve-page. ;apem an hour. This gives Its press rmi an aggregate -pacity or I2U.U00 twelve-nape or 108.nvfi sixteen-page papers an hour, there be ing three presses smaller than the new one. The Press on Sundays prints and sells more than 160.000 copies; and on week days, although Its price is two cents while that of its principal com petitors Is only a penny, it prints and sella over 100,000 copies, and the de mand is steadily growing. The secret of this success is not dif ficult to understand. It Is comprised In the two words "merit" and "enter prise." The Press Is one of the three or four co-equal greatest newspapers of the country greatest in quantity of piloted mutter, greatest in Judicious ness of editorial conduct and greatest lu discerning liberality of business man agement. It is to Interior Pennsylvania a daily law and gospel; und to New Jersey and Delawure It ministers us a welcome necessity. It prints all the news nil the time, and Is, moreover, on high ground on all public questions. Tim success of the Tress Is a gratifying demonstration that decent Journalism is not without possibilities of profit ableness from a business as well as from a moral standpoint. In commemoration of Its thirty eighth birthday the Heading Times has j purchased a Hoe press and secured u new suit of specially designed type, thus adding materially to the neatness of Its appearance. The Times Is the oldest and best paper In Reading, and in Colonel T. C. Zimmerman it has an editor w ho ranks with the foremost In the state. In Washington the McKlnley men have begun to construct McKlnley' cabinet. By these premature prophets the secretaryship of state Is awarded to Chauncey M. Depew If he will take It. and falling that, to Charles Kmory Smith. Either would make an excel lent selection, but the latter would be decidedly the better. Figures from the various base ball parks lu the country reveal this year an average attendance larger than ever before. It Is a good sign. The Ameri can people will be the better for these occasional breathing spells. A constitutional amendment limiting political campaign to once In ten years would have tho cordial support of many business men. Is It not true that we have too much polities In this country? GREAT Bl.l'.AhV BKST FRIEND. From the Manufacturer. The fjgures which Indicate some of the very different results obtained by the ad ministration of the government hy Benja min Harrison and Grover Cleveland are both Interesting and Instructive. Thus: Reduction of the public debt under Harrison $310,000,000 Increase or the public debt un der Clevleand 262,000,000 If to this- increase of the principal of the debt the Interest shall be added, the total sum will amount to J5ul.WXi.wo. And ugain: Surplus receipts over expendi tures, '111, '2, '! $ E0,mio,00O Deficiency under Cleveland .... H2,O0O,O0O Now let us push the comparison a lit tle further, taking Into consideration the li.fltienee of our legislation upon Great Britain. Dciiclt in the British budget for 1S92 $ 250,000 Surplus revenue of tho L'nlted States, 18U2 9,914,000 This represents the situation at a time when the American government was op erated solely for the udvantuge of Ameri cans. The change that lias taken place since the contrary policy was put into operation may be thus indicated: Surplus in the British budget, lSWi $ 21,000,000 Pelicit In the revenues of the L uited States, 1SW 2.',0u0,UOO Mr. Cleveland Is, by all odds the best president of the l'nlted States that Eng lishmen ever had. If the Bradford manu facturers and the London bankers couid control our polities absolutely lie would have a third term without possibility of failure. AN IM I.HI.SHNU Gl ESS.
