The Proper Course.
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.

thing In his power for his correspondents.
I am toi.l on good authority thut Senulor

Mr, Depew should he excepted from this
list of prominent Republican politicians
who do not admit thut the battle Is al

that It will be a "small trlumnh for the

Intervening between the present time and

occur those accidents, blunders or misfor

The Impression Is that the cundldate tor
vice-president is likely to be chosen from
some other state than New York. Some
of Mr. McKInley's frienrts look with great
favor upon Pennsylvania, the distinctive
ly protection state ot tile east, und have
thus looked not with a searching eye, but
with mie fixed upon u distinguished eitt
ken of that stale. If rVnnsyhanla could
ugree upon a man of national rtpute It is
not at all unlikely thut .McKInley's friends
would be disposed to accept him.
