The New High School.
In more way than are usually
nought of. Scranton in particular and
he entire community if Northeastern
.'ennsylvnnla Indirectly, hnve reason to
'eel prnud of the new high school yes
terday dedicated to the purpose c;f
popular education. It Is n magnificent
lit of architecture, bringing together
In one symmetrical pile the best
thought and the latest Inventions of
those who make n business of minis
torinpt to human needs. From a ma
terial standpoint it is a irlnry to th-
city mid r Ill companion to the noble
building which It confronts. That our
people have in so short a period of de
velopment reached n point Indicated by
the construction within sight of each
other of a f"ee nubile acad 'niy and a
free public library is a testimony to the
broad growth of Peranum to which the
rhetovic of ciibitry cannot add empha
sis. All the line words which senilis
supplies In slorllkntlon c.f the public
school fall Inadequate before the true
slgnillcance of the objective fact.
Yet in this particular Instance of pub
lic enterprise put-hint; out to perform
". paramount duty there is an clement
if timeliness and of appropriateness
considerably in excess of the average.
If we pause to think of our community
ns to an abnotmal decree a meetlnc;
tdace of the tides of Immigration nnd n-
battle rrrotind. as it were, of contend
ing forces whli h have In them great
possibilities of wcul or woe for the fu
ture of our beloved land, it will dawn
upon us that perhaps of all the splen
did things which this splendid city has
achieved for-Itself and- for humanity
lh the comparatively brief period of its
corporate existence nothing yet has
been half so pregnant with large bene
fits for all coming time as the gi "ins
to the young of this superb tempi. of
self-Improvement. The imagination
speedily looses itself In the mas: s of its
own far-teachiog fancy in Its attempt,
to compute n fractional part of the
significance of the opportunities thus
placed within free reach of the thous
ands who in years to come will receive
knowledge within its walls.
Not many years ago to have had the
means of culture here supplied to the
thousands without cost would have
fallen within the privilege of the very
few, and these would have paid for it a
large equivalent. It Is poetic to think
of our great men of pioneer days' burn
ing the pine knot during midnight
struggles to gain the merest rudiments
of a book education. Tt appeals to our
sensibilities and at once arouses our
sincere sympathy. We rejoice to know
that now and then from out the com
mon mass there rose, hero and there.
In those olden days, men great enough
to break through the confining barriers
of humble clrcumstunce into the realms
ordinarily open chlePy to the rich. Hut.
if we permit our thoughts to go back of
these inspiring exceptions to the human
background of only average men and
women, to whom the door of self-advancement
remained all too effectually
closed, we are likely to get a firmer
grasp upon the significance of the ad
vantages open to the multitudes today,
and open at so low a cost that in all
this city there need not of necessity
dwell one boy or girl shut off from
genuine and ample culture.
As we have hitherto said, In com
menting upon the new high school, It
Is an Institution which will supply to
the receptive pupil as much school
learning ns any ordinary per in will
ever need. It will not compl. 'any
good pupil's education. Education ev
er nds. But It will, with proper and
expected vigilance and discretion In its
supervision, give to every capable at
tendant the requisite start, and render
It possible for the bright graduate to
contend in the competitions of every
day life with the graduate of any col
lege or university, upon terms of hon
orable equality. It will also be a great
factor In unifying our city. No mem
ories are so rife with the luaois of
fellowship and democracy as are the
memories of the public high school.
The bringing together, in one receptive
place, of the bright young men nnd
women of all portions of Scranton w!ll
have a tendency to accelerate the ln
'evitable welding 'of the jnuniclpal sec
tions into a compact and harmonized
whole. These are but a few a very
few of the considerations Which Invest
the exercises of yesterday with mem
orable and hopeful interest ln( the
Uxlud of Intelligent Scrautonlana.. V
repeat thut the giving to pupulur edu
cation of this superb facility marks an
epoch In, the forward mnrch of our
city, our section and our state. Slay It
fulfill all fair expectations!
The Democratic party in Luzerne is
In hopeless straits apparently. There
Is no head, no organization. The whole
scramble seems to be for county com
missioners. As the minority party
must bo represented on the board, the
questiiin as to whether It shall be Mr.
Finn or Mr. Ouiney. Is the predominating-
one. The gentlemen live wit'.ila a
stone's throw of each other, the forni-r
in Miner's Mills, the latter In Wiliies
13arre. As neither appeals to the con
sideration of the average rural voter,
who, by the vty. has no candidate big
or little on the ticket, It would appear
to n man u: a tree- as If the ei tire
struggle In Luzerne had resolved itself
Into a merely local Kilkenny light be
tween the Finns n'nl the C.ulneys. In
th meantime Hat-man's face grows
longer.
Queen V ictoria's Reign.
The fact that on Wednesday Quen
Victoria attained the lorgest reign In
the history of England, and bids fall
to! continue, for many years on the
greatest throne In modern annals, adds
special Interest to a reeltnl of some of
the notable events comprehended with
in the pei'tod ' of her brilliant sov
ereignty. The recital Involves repeti
tion, since something of like ( haraet-r
was published only a few month nsu
in commemoration of the fifty-ninth J
anniversary of her coronation: but if
familiar the narrative is nevertheless
fascinating, and without mote apology(
wo append it.
In the year In which the young Queen
was crowned, 1X3S, the modern era of
ocean steam travel was marked by the
steaming of -the Great Western to Nev
York,- and the first telegraph line was
built and operated. . The modern post
ofllce system became a popular Institu
tion by the penny postage act of IN4,
the year' in which the queen was mar
ried. Hong-Kong, the great English
commercial port, was taken from
China, and colonial government was
established in New Zealand, in the year
of the I'lince of Wales' birth. 1SI1.
it was in ISlii that polar exploration,
one of the most active and successful
scientific endeavors of the century,
marked a milestone In the famous ex
pedition of Franklin. The repeal of the
corn laws came the next year, a famine
compelling, after bitter conflict and
much disturbance of ministers, the de
parture from England's old policy of
protection by Import duties. The fam
ine of 1X4 included the potato rot In
Ireland, which had much to do with
u revival of the violent agitation in
that country which has disturbed the
peace for several years, but Daniel
O'Conncll died in 1X47, and that re
crudescence of Irish discontent sank
into temporary oblivion amid the stir
ring events on the continent, the chl"f
of which was th" French revolution of
1S4X und the rejection of the Orlenn
ists, tlie establishment of tiie second
ri I4iblie under Napoleon and his colli'
d'etat later, which founded the sec
ond empire.
With these events was connected t tie
first International exhibition that was
ever held, In 1S51. nnd in the same year
a tremendous stride in the wealth of
England was made by the discovery of
gold In Australia. Then came the
Cilmean war, which, in Its results, laid
the foundation for the International
machinations In the east which ar.? to
day bringing matters to so serious a
crisis. At the heels of tills came the
Sepoy mutiny nnd the terrible times
in India, which led to that vast ter
ritory being taken by the government
out of the hands of the old East India
company. The directors sat for the
last .time on Sept. 1, 1S5S. Then Queens
land was added to- the colonies and op
pressive internal duties were abolished
In ISfiO, and what had been done for
Roman Catholics was done for Jews,
In the entire removal of their disabil
ities. Queen Victoria paid her first visit to
Ireland In IMil. The Prince Consort
died the same year. England's connec
tion with the American rebellion was
ma iked by the sailing of the Alabama
from the Mersey In 186:'. In 1SG7 the
Dominion of Canada was created ns a
federation, the second reform act was
passed, and the $r,0,000.0UU Abyssinian
war was fought. In the year follow
ing the transportation of convicts was
stopped by law. Then came the Frnnco
t.ernmn war and its results, the com
plete change in the status of the pope
in Italy, and the Berlin congress. The
Irish church was disestablished, the
first London school board met. the
Queen was proclaimed empress of In
dia (1871). and England took Cyrus
from the Turk, by diplomacy. The
great Afghan war whs ended and the
still disputed occupancy of Egypt bc
gau, in lxs:'. Troublous times, chiefly
diplomatic and parliamentary In their
character, followed until the queen's
jubilee in 18s7. The nearly Un years
since have been full of events still fresh
in "the public mind.
Altogether the period has made great
ly for Ilrltish honor and human ad
vancement. The sovereignty of Vic
toria, If not assertive, has been at least
clean, dignified and in cordial accord
with the humanities. She has com
manded as a woman by personal de
serving quite as much homage as she
has Inherited as a queen; urid when
this is said there is need of no higher
tribute.
Dave Hill will undoubtedly go down
In political history as the Judas of the
free silver movement. It is hard to
teach an old sinner new virtue,
diving Up the Silver Fight.
One tif the surest indications yet af
forded of the subsidence of the free
silver enthusiasm conies In the shaoe
of an editorial in the Detroit Tribune
to the proper understanding of which
a few explanatory remarks ate neces
sary. - The Tribune, long the recognised
mouthpiece of the Republican organi
zation of Michigan, was recently pub
lished by James E. Scrlpps, a wealthy
Journalist of Detroit who, although a
life-long Republican, had also been an
enthusiastic bimetallism Mr. Bcripps
declined to support the money plnnk
in the St. Louis platform, and although
Rtill claiming to remain In harmony
with his party on all othur Issues, threw
the Tribune Into the fight for free fcoln
age with 'great vigor, candor and abil
ity. Its arguments for the Chicago
money idank were dignified, plausible
und insistent, so much st as to attiart
national attention. This being under
stood, thp "reader is better prepared to
comprehend the real significance, of the
following remarkable comment from
the Tribune of Sept. 23:
We are every few days greeted with the
report from some quurter that the sllv r
sentiment is dying out, that but little ea:n
pulgn work Is lu-lns dune on the silver
side, but little money being spent, und hut
little skill shown in the immaitement of
the en n va ss. It Is quite true that little
or no money Is being .-pent. .Money Is only
t-'pent liberally In politics wm-n contrilni
tcis evpeet returns in honors or etiielu
nunts, or when there are lives lo mi ni.
The silver party is singularly free from ns
plianH for honors. Jt adherent are
waging a contest for pi-in -ipl and the
campaign Is not to thein it uieie scrumble
fr otllco. It nmy lie tine also that I Ik
i-.iinpiilcn Is not skillfully conducted. He
lm; a peoil' movement the trained poli
ticians ur. not found In Its ranks. I'er
lntps as all the work of the i. unpawn
Is being done from motlvi-s of putrlot'am
and tint personul Interest or with the hope
cf reward. It inny be that there Ix less done
t'lan would be If a busings were in-sle
of the canvass with plcnlv of nruicv to
stimulate effort. If it be true tleu
the movement Is on the wane it Is a sel
thing fnr th patriot to contemplate. Cu
lt is n confession that the nation ha- !i
genernteil from the exalted r-.-iillmeitls of
liberty hi-ld by our foreMllieis and Is given
over io the rule of money. " Jf
AmeiKun palrintixni has so declined th-it
the country is cunienl with the rule of a
millionaire syndicate let It b- so. The
Tribune Is content If the peotd" tit". No
doubt the country will be well ruled but
II will not he the same oil republic ef
which we hnve been so wont to hcust. Our
liberties will have departed.
The only practical Interpretation to
be placed on this jeremiad Is that it
signifies a veiled confession of defeat.
Coming so closely after the Democratic
fiasco in Xew York and the announce
ment that lirynn had been suddenly no
titled by his managers to desist from
his hopeless rainbow-chnslng In the
east and get back to the defense of the
veerm west. It virtually means that
the silver men themselves have been
forced to the conclusion that their
snuggle is hopeless. This condition of
affairs is not without Its lessun lo Re
publicans. They should not give way
to overconfldence, but should prepare
to turn the enemy's defeat Into a panic.
By so dolns they will end the present
discussion for al! time.
We do not agree with the esteemed
Syracuse Standard In Its assertion that
the New York Journal Is the nastiest
paper in the world. We consider that
the New York World still holds unchal
lenged title to that distinction.
The One Safe Way.
In ITIi'i per cent, of the population of
the l.'nited States was engaged In lund til
lage and was both prosperous and happy;
today the percentage of population en
gaged In agricultural pursuits is only 42
per cent., und poverty-ridden at that.
Manufactures alone have thriven, and in
that connection alone have investments of
cupptil and labor reaped a rich harvest.
In ISjO the capital invested In manufac
tures was about, half a billion dollars. It
doubled from pvtl lo Win; und then went
tin another double by lvti. From isso to
h:J It again a go id deul more than dou
bled. The net value of niuiiufacuircs in
lV.il) was St per cent greuter than the value
of agricultural products. Rut in KM thu
value or agricultural products was muclt
larger than that of manufactures. This
litaillusimcnt,. If not mlsndjustment of
American Industries, bus produced gnat
aoelul elmiiges us well. It has packed thu
population In vust cities; It has increased
the herding tendencies: It has increased
wages on the farm, while decreasing the
price of farm produce; It has taken the
better class of young people from the
farms into the i Ities. That these changes
should bring ubotit In time a great dis
ruption and lead to revolutionary senti
ments l not to be wondered ut.
The foregoing la taken from one of
the denominational Journals of the west
und Is part of an attempt to give a
philosophical explanation of the free
silver phenomenon. In the main, no
doubt, It is to a considerable degree
true. All over the world the past half
century has w itnessed an unprecedent
ed diversion of human energy from
agricultural to lndustrlul channels.
That this movement has progressed
more rapidly and to a further point in
the I'nited States than in the older
countries of Europe is merely in recog
nition of the fact that here the path
way to social experiment and commer
cial fluctuation is freer from tradition
al obstructions. What we hnve in
mind when we speak of America's su
perior opportunities is really thut
America is as yet too young to be be
clogged with old superstitions and old
notions which tend to fetter human
freedom.
But coming from generalities to de
tails, it oiiKht to be self-evident to any
clear-eyed observer that the curb to
Industrial development will come in
time through natural laws and cannot
be entrusted to artificial or superficial
legislation. It Is not possible by stat
ute law to force a return to the farms,
except pet haps to the poor farms. The
flee silver proposition, for instance, is
by the confession of Its oan advocates
an utterly impotent remedy in this di
rection. The claim made for free sil
ver Is that it would produce an artifi
cial rise In prices and thereby encour
age a still greuter massing of capital
and energy in the productive indus
tries. If true, this would merely ag
gravate the indictment quoted above;
If false, as most prudent economists
believe it to be, it would by dashing
sanguine hopes and deceiving fond ex
pectations tend directly to foster revo
lutionary sentiments.
What seems to us the sensible view
is thut it wo are suffering today, In a
broad sense, from any serious over
roneentration of energy in one depart
ment of human activity the Increased
competition and the consequently de
creased return thus engendered will
tend in time to divert Ill-requited effort
into other chunnels of enterprise and
thus restore the equilibrium. It would
be a poor polity to make legal Avar on
manufacturing Industry in general be
cause of the fear that It has drawn
coo many men Into Its employ. On
could never be certain that such a
course would produce a wholesome ef
fect. Rut the natural law of which we
hnvcfpokenls absolutely and unerring
ly efficacious. The wise economist will
hesitate before attempting to Improve
upon It.
It would certainly relieve the mono
tony of the situation If some of the
boastful opponents of David Martin
In Philadelphia would proceed to prove
their charges.
Having declured against civil service
reform the Popocrats shouldn't com
plain If Cleveland should take them at
their word and fire every mother's son
ot thfaBi who holds federal office.
Bryan Revealed
as an Agitator
From the Tlmep-llerald.
Air. Hrynn apparently started out with
the intention of discussing the colnus-i
question as a qui-: ion of pure finance an I
nalesmanflilp. In his Atadlsoti Square
garden speech he sitld nothing which could
be construed ns un nppeHl to prejudice un
less perhaps It wits his dei-liiraiion that
"titere can be no sympathy or co-opi ra
tion between the advontos cf a universal
gold KUmlarJ and toe advocates of l
metalllsm. Hetwc.-n bimetallism bet her
liuUiKtident or International and a gold
ttamlard there Is an impas.-able gulf." The
question at issue In the prudent eaniptdlpi
Ws not. as Air.- Uryitu would have the pub
lic believe, between bimetallism and the
geld standard: it Is between blmetalll: m
and the silver standard. Uut when .Mr.
til van commenced speaking without noti-4
the undertone of hatred and dissension
which charaetcrlxcs his public utterances
beitati to be distinctly audible.
lly the time that he reached Syracuse
he was In a frame of mind which led nint
to assert that men who do nut favor silver
monometallism nie "i ncmles of this coun.
try. who think they are greater than th?
government end i "i make the govern
mint their Instrument for private gain,
the greatest enemies that this Vountry
has." He called them "plunderers of the
I Industrial masses. In behalf of the mu.iev
corporations of this country and Europe."
At Eric, Pa., he acknowledged that he de
pended more tipuit an appeal lo the emo
tions than to the int-llei-ls of Ids hearers,
when he said: "The heart Is the place
where conduct Is determined, und If you
want lo lind out wlit-le a man is in his
light do not look at ills bruin; that would
lind a reasun for whatever ills heart wants
lo do. Look at his heart, and find out
where his sympathies are. Show
me the sympathies of a man and 1 will
mark out his conduct. Show me u
man whose sympathies are with the Idle
holders of idle capital, anil 1 will show you
a man who wants us little money as possi
ble and put It on the ground that he love-i
his neighbor better than himself. Show
me a man whose sympathies are with the
struggling niasHes, und I will show yon
a man who will never stand up fur syndi
cates and consent to lit them control the
financial policy of the I'nited Slates."
lly the time that he reached Buffalo he
began to sneer al his opponents, ns, for
Instance, In the declaration that "when th.
Creator made man. he did not use any su
perior kind of mud when he mude finan
ciers." It was here that he suid: "Advo
cates of bimetallism (he should have said
of silver monometallism) ure culled dema
gogues. There has never been a states
man whose heurt beat In' sympathy with
the struggling masses who has not been
culled a demagogue by those who opposed
hi in. Young man, do you want to know
how to keip from being culled a dema
gogue? 1 will give you a certain method.
Get In t he employ of some great corporation,
and then cull nil the people anarchists, and
you will be a statesman among your em
ployers." At Loukport, N. Y he became
denunciatory, and said: "They have drlv-t-ii
down the price of your products, they
hnve Increased the burden ot your debt,
they have foreclosed your mortgages, they
are degrading und lowering the stand ltd
of civilization by driving people who want
to work out upon the streets, nnd their
Idleness breeds crime, nnd crime menaces
the safety of every citizen of the Intel."
He expressed his belief that "the gold
standard has made more misery for the
human race than wars und pestilence and
famines; more misery than human mini
can conceive or human tongue can tell."
lie begun his appeul to the passions of hla
hearers in the words: "The promulga
tion of the gold standard is an attack
upon your homes und upon your firesid -s,
and you hnve us much right to resist It a.t
you have to resist nn urtny marching to
take your children cupllve and burn the
roof over your head." Since a man has
a right to resist an army by force, the
only possible Inference is that the friends
of silver monometallism would be Justified
In u resort to violence to prevent the eon
1 1 nuance of the present monetary system
of the I'nited Stutes.
At Tonawanda he said that "the Chica
go platform means that every man shall
be defended In the enjoyments of that
which he earns, but that no man shall be
permitted tu enjoy that which somebody
else has earned and which is taken fron
hiin by. vicious legislation." This is a
palpable threat of spoliation of the rich.
"The platform," he continued, "Is u men
ace to the wrong-doer not the small
wrong-doer only, but also the larger trans
gressor,' who 'attempts to use the gove rn
ment us his Instrument to wrong others."
This Is nn attack upon government nil I
upon the principle of self-government. If
the platform Is a menace what would the
election of .Mr. llryan be? At Toledo !)
gave thq workingntan some very bad and
Immoral advice in the words: "I will not
ask him to do anything which may en
danger his position. Let him wear the op
position button If he will. Let hlin contrib
ute to their fund If ho will. Hut let him
renumber there Is one duy In the year
when he Is his own master and can use a
pencil as he pleases. 1 am willing for you
to be Republicans every day in the year
if you will Just be Democrats on election
day. I am willing for you to wear gol l
bus buttons all the rest of the time If,
when you enter the booth, you will remem
ber that the gold standard never conferred
a benefit upon those who toil, und that
it was never Indorsed or npproved or sanc
tioned by any body of the people except
those who hold fixed Investments nnd
trade in money or profit by the extremities
of the government." This wus equivalent
to advising workingim-n, whose friend he
claims to be, to make of themselves liars,
traitors, hypocrites and cowards, if only
they on Id vote for him on the 3d of -Noveni.
her. In the same speech he took a defiant
altitude and seld: "If 1 am elected the
gold standard will not remain the stand ltd
of this country one moment longer than
1 can help lo gel rid of It." ,
Al Toledo he said: "A Republican 'iU;
eess would simply mean that while the
people are nominally free Ihey will bo
hewers of wood and drawers of water for
those who control the money supply of the
world." And ug.iln: "The people who In
tend to strike down one-half of all the
standard mouey of the world simply mean
to do with you and your property what
the fleets of the world and the armies ef
the world would do If they came to de
stroy one-half of all your possessions." A?
.Milwaukee he described the present politi
cal campaign ns a struggle over the qir-s.
tion whether the people will "ullow the
host of the gold standard to enslave "a.oi'j,
O'jU of people, while and black, In this
country." lie said further: "Thvy ray
that we are arraying one class of society
against another. 1 deny it. But, my
f ri nds, il u burglar comes to my home
I have a right to call all my family to keep
him out. and It (Iops not make me mad II,
when he starts away, he turns around and
shouts to me thut 1 am trying to array un
fairly against hlin. When men amy
themselves against society, society has a
right to urrny Itself against them.
The success of llie Chicago ticket is dan.
gerotis only to the man who wants to
eat the bread that somebody else earns."
In his speech at Lincoln, Neb., accent
ing the nomination of tne silver R-;nibil-oans.
he said: "I hcl'eve that the gold
t-tandard Is a conspiracy against the hit.
man race. 1 would no sooner Join Mie
ranks of those whose purpose It Is to fast
en It upon the people than enlist in an
army that was marching to attack my
home and destroy my family."
These extracts from Mr. Bryan's har
ratigui s give a fair Idea of hint us nn agi
tator und fomenter of populur !lsi'or'l,aml
commotion a man who would risk the
horrors of armed conflict between citizens
of the republic rather than fall of his elec

to be taken seriously.

IIKYAX AM) THE PKKSS.
Wellman's Washington Letter.
Mr. Bryan's Ki-eetim? at the national
capital Satunluy wus anything but nn
ovutiun. The boy orator was obviously
disappointed with It. To bejjin with, the
crowd which ussemtiled to hear hlin was
u small one. Kven the reserved seats
were not till occupied. The "distinguished
Kiiests" were conspicuous by their ab
sence. Places had been kept for sixty

present. The newspaper correspondents
of Washington know .Mr. llryan, und while
the most of them esteem him highly ns a
man, the majority refuse to look upon him
as a great statesman or party leader. The

himself la the newspapers of the country.
They remember his actorlike tendencies,

Professor Paul Leroy-Heaulteu.
Money ought to be us stable as possible.
Every system of Inflation must be con
demned. The theory of the modern credit
system shows that tho world can, by us
ing Improved methods of settlements and
payments, do business on the largest scale
with a small amount of metallic money,
and practical people realize this fact. The
fear of money becoming scarce Is one of
the vainest feats that exist.
