SCKANTON. KOVEMUKR 12. 1S96.
The Venezuedan settlement simply ro
aflirms the virtues of u little iu""'"u
sense. It Is a pity that common sense
la so uncommon.
An Admirable Decision.
The announcement throush Juttee
Edwards that the Lackawanna courts
will henceforth Brant naturalization
papers only to such aliens as can show
a General familiarity with the United
States constitution and with American
methods of uovernment supplies its
own commendatory comment. Had
such action teen taken years ago and
rigidly maintained, much subsequent
trouble would have been spared. There
Is no wish to debar from citizenship a
slnsle man of foreign birth who brings
to his new allegiance reasonable In
telligence and a willingness to accept
the spirit of our Institutions: but the
time has come when all over the coun
try, without respect to paltry politics,
a halt should be called on the manu
facture of citizens regardless of fitness
or consequences.
Not only is It a crime atralnst the
commonwealth to confer citizenship
upon an alien who Is not qualified to
exercise with judiciousness the priv
ileges thereof, but It Is moreover n
personal insult to every Intelligent vot
er in the land, lowering by so much
the value of a prerogative he has been
taught to believe superior to that of
kings, and eompcllins him to submit
his ballot to a comtUtion from which
every self-respecting man has a right
to shrink. The recent election has had
little effect if it has not tuuuht the
dangers to the state arising from a
low average of intelligence and pa
triotism unions the country's voting
population. We rejoice to know that
in one court, and that in a commun
ity where considerations of mere po
litical expediency might easily point
to caution, the lesson of that struggle
for honest government has not gone to
waste.
In this connection we wish most
heartily to Indorse a suggestion ad
vanced by the Wilkes-liarre ltecord
that a convention of the Judges of
Pennsylvania be called with u view to
adopting a uniform practice in grant
ing naturalizations. That so vital a
matter should be left largely to hap
hazard Is a most humiliating rellec
tlon upon the condition of contempor
ary politics. Surelv if there were one
thing concerning which there should
be well understood and uniform rules
of procedure and carefully adjusted
safeguards, it ouslit to be the admis
sion of aliens to sovereign responsi
bilities. The conscience of the people
Is slow to ancer; but unless we mis
read the signs of the times there
will yet come a doomsday for all who
try to make capital out of the degra
dation of bur citizenship.
The youngest member of the next
state house of representatives will be
Editor Sproul, of Delaware, who is 27
years of uge. He will doubtless be
older in course of time.
The Senatorship.
A contingent nf Philadelphia busi
ness men. including mainly gentlemen
interested in commercial enterprises
with Mr. Thomas Polan, on( Tuesday
evening drew up resolutions formally
presenting Hon. John Wanamaker as
a candidate to succeed United States
Senator J. Donald Cameron, and urg
ing business men elsewhere to take
steps to promote llr. Wanamaker's
election. At about the same time Sen
ator C. C. Kauffman, of Columbia, was
telling the Harrlsburg Patriot what a
great man Mr. Wanamaker Is, adding
very suggestively: "He Is conducting
the senatorial campaign on purely bus
iness principles."
In this connection the Philadelphia
correspondent of the New York Sun
writes: "Had Mr. Wanamaker not op
posed Senator Quay so earnestly in 1S9'
for state, chairman, and had he pulled
in the traces with him in 1896 Instead
of balking, he might have won the sen
atorship. Had Mr. Wanamaker given
the same zeal to the election of Major
McKinley In Delaware or West Vir
ginia as he gave to the election of
members of the legislature In Pennsyl
vania, which stands 44 Republicans to
6 Democratic senators, and 172 llepubli
can to 32 Democratic members of the
house, a majority of 17S on Joint ballot,
his chances for senator would nt have
been marred by a bitter hostility to
Quay. Governor Hastings, believing
that Pennsylvania would oast nearly
300,000 majority for McKinley, left his
own state to take care of itself that lie
might give his services to the cause In
Maryland, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and
other states where help was needed;
and therein he was wiser than Wan
amaker, who erred Just where the
skilled politician Hastings hit it in run
ning up a mighty big score of McKin
ley gratitude."
There is no doubt that Mr. Wana
maker is using "business principles" In
his senatorial canvass. Hut there is
also no doubt that his eagerness for the
place Is likely to meet with a serious
set-back ere many weeks have passed.
County Treasurer Morrison, of Troy,
who stole J26O.000, has been sentenced
to ten years in the penitentiary. It is
a weak sentence. He can serve It out
and emerge a rich man.
One Level-Headed Democrat.
It does not become Republicans to ob
ject to the proposition that Major Mc
Kinley, In recognition of the aid re
ceived in his canvass from sound money
Democrats, should proffer to a repre
sentative of that element a seat
In his cabinet. liut we ore glad
to observe that one of the
most active and intelligent of these re
cent allies has gone on record with a
vigorous disapproval of the suggestion.
A Cleveland, O., dispatch of November
10, says:
M. E. Ingnlls, of Cincinnati, when asked
yesterday what the gold Democrats ought
to get tor supporting Major McKinley J
replied: "Nothing; absolutely nothing.
We supported him for the purpose of snv
lug the country from dishonor und nut tor
the purpose of getting office."
This surrounds the subject most ad
mlrnbly. Without desiring to be un
grateful for what the better part of the
Democratic party did toward securing
Republican success last week. It can
truthfully be said that there Is n brond
hint of impropriety In the idea thnt
their service to good government can
be rewarded by appointments to office.
The acceptance by that element of poli
tical place under the new administra
tion would savor unpleasantly of a poli
tical bargain. The great majority of
these Democrats who voted for McKin
ley did so through patriotism. Their
reward was the defeat of vicious doc
trines, and It Is ell tln reward they
want. Thut there may be among them
leaders willing to receive further com
pensation docs not alter the fact that
It would he a mistake to put othcial
preferment in the scales of payment.
Senator Carter, of Montana, who last
winter was chief amolut the senatorial
conspirators who held up the Dlngley
bill because it did not contain a clause
authorising the free coinage of silver,
has returned to Washington a sadder
nnd a wiser man. To a reporter who
asked him ribou' the probability of
tariff legislation In the sonata during
the coming session he said: "I think it
would be the height of folly for any one
to attempt to block a Republican tariff
measure because a free coinage bill
cannot be passed." Experience has
evidently given Mr. Carter a diploma
since cue year ngo.
McKinleyism."
In view of the prodigious abuse
formerly wasted by the Democratic
party on "McKinle yism" -abuse of
which many of McKinlcy's present
supporters were themselves grievously
guilty -It Is interestlii'.T to consider
what "McKinleyism" at present stands
for. Wo borrow, in deliniiiEr if. the
language of Colonel Robert l Porter:
"McKinleyism," says be. "stands for
a financial policy that will make such
a campaign as the one just closed
impossible. The minds of our great
est statesmen, of both political parties,
will at once be directed to a building
up and strengthening of our currency
laws thut will hereafter avoid tin'
complications which swamped the last
administration.
"McKinleyism rtands for a judicious
revision of the tariff laws, with the
double view of retaining our home mar
kets as far as possible, but at the same
time increasing our trade with the
rest of the world.
"McKinleyism stands for that broad
and latter-day protectionism which re
alizes that In many great branches of
manufacturing the 1'nited States leads
tin- world, and in time must supply
the world. In such industries every
encouragement by the way of reciproc
ity, treaty, favorable rates of duties
and rebates for imported raw mater
ial, will be given.
"McKinleyism stands for a substan
tial progress in our commerce and mer
chant marine. After many years of
loss In the carrying trade, the people
of the I'nlted States have made up
their minds to re-establish the Ameri
can flag upon the high seas. They do
not propose longer to pay out millions
upon millions annually to foreign na
tions for transportation, while there
is an Idle man at home.
"McKinleyism, In short, no b:;iger
represents one upbuilding policy, but
all the elements that enter into our
social, commercial and Industrial life.
Its aim must lie good government,
stability in finance, protection to our
home market, and encouragement to
our commerce and mcrchunt marine.
It must not only study how to give
employment to the greatest number of
people at home?, at the fairest wages,
but direct Its attention to the ques
tions of what we can sell abroad and
where are the best markets. McKin
leyism, if practically enforced, will
come near securing the support of all
that is best In the republic."
The definition is correct nnd the con
trition of those who have maligned
McKinley In years past ought to be
copious and sincere. We fear, though,
that some of them don't yet realize
the enormity of their offending ns
they should before being taken Into the
bosom of the next administration.
The word which ex-Attorney General
Palmer brings from Ireland is that the
hope of home rule has been for all prac
tical purposes abandoned. It Is a sad
endlntr to write to a story so full of
heroic sacrifice and laudable aspiration.
Determined to Be Miserable.
One of the saddest beings on earth Is
the man who refuses to be comforted.
The editor of the Salt Lake Tribune is
evidently in this fix. He has made tip
his mind that the country Is Koing to
perdition. He doesn't care a. continen
tal how prosperous nupearnnces are.
he won't believe in thein so Ion as
silver isn't coined free, and the gloomier
he can get the better ho w ill feel. Here
is how he philosophizes over the defeat
of Bryan:
We shall expect a little revival In cer
tain lines of manufactures, unci the fam
ine Is going to give a little better market
for hrenilstufTs, but ull that will be hut
doctoring some symptoms, the eliseare re
mains. 1'roperty Is still falling: climes
are Increasing the army of tramps will
swell with the winter; It will be Just as
difficult to Invest money in anything that
will pay as It has been during the past
four years. If Mr. McKinley carries out
the pulley which has been laid down for
him, he will go Into a worse cell ise than
Mr. Cleveland has, and his party four
years hence will cease to exist.
There Is no use in nrruins with n
man in this condition. It Is a form of
economic hysteria which will not yield
to argument. The only thing to do Is
to let It run its course and In the nvan
tlme not to mind It. As the country
resumes Its old-time prosperity the
edge will disappear from these perio
dical western walls, and maybe before
1000 the Salt Lake mourner will be so
busy clipping coupons that he will not
have time to complain.
In the opinion of Henry Clews the
natural contraction of speculative pos
sibilities arising from the filling of the
field will tend in future to reduce the
stock watering of railroads and mini
mize the evils of bad management by
emphasising the necessity of greater
economy. The one danger which he
fears most Is meddlesome legislation.
Undoubtedly the future will offer large
scope for trained Intellect in solving
the ptciblomn of the state's true rela
tions toward the great corporations;
but the het.1 way for railway proper
ties to fortify themselves against In
equitable legislation Is to deal fairly
and liberally with the public. one
doesn't hear much fault tlndliifr con
cerning properties which are managed
on this principle. Where the grum
bling Is loudest there Is generally the
most titiuilne cause for grumbling.
It Is an established truth thut Idle
ness breeds crime. Penological statis
tics are eloquent in continuing that
men who shirk work are the men who
fill the Jails. Industry Is also r.n edu
cational and civilizing force. The hap
piest men are the busiest men; the un
hnpplcKt, those who have no rogular
nnd engrossing work to do. Not the
bast significant result of last week's
election U the oopotiunity which It In
rapidly opr'tilnil to Idle men and wo
men to secure employment.
Tremendous applause Is reported to
have greeted the assertion by Senator
Pettigrew before a Sioux Kalis, S. D..
nudience I he other evenin-j; thut whil'
he was willing to aid the Republican
party in restoring Protection, he would
light every section of a tariff bill which
should give Protection to any article
controlled by n trust. This, In Itself,
doesn't mean a great deal, but It ought
to warn the lead 'is of the next admin
istration what appearances to avoid.
Every lover of decency will be plnd
to know that Miss Harriet .Monroe has
beatep. the New York World In the
highest court to which it can a peal from

damages arising from that paper's
theft of her World's Fair eominemor

honor would ikv.t have fought her
claim.

Horace Greeley was probably one of the
most enthusiastic nniatuer farmers In his
day, and visitors from tha agricultural
districts were seldom denied an Intervl 'W
when Hie ureal editor was In his prime.
A gentleman from this section who Intro
duced himself to .Mr. Greeley years ago re
cently nave an Interesting ueeuunt of the
interview, l'pon entering the editorial
sanctum he found Mr. Greeley seated at a
slanting desk which came up even to his
chin, engaged In writing. "How ure you,
Mr. M.7" said The Tribune editor, us Die
visitor entered, "Always glad to meet
ptnpla from the Pennsylvania fanning
country." After shaking hands with lin
nailer Air. Greeley turned to the high
desk and began to write with his chin al
most resting on the paper. The visitor
hesitated. "Oh. keep light on talking,"
said Air. Greeley. "1 can talk und writ.',
too." He then usked many questions
about farming In Pennsylvania nnd kepi
up a lively conversation with his visitor
upon various topics, while his pen was
moving along at the paper upon another
ruhjeet, und seemed really sorry when
the caller f-om Pennsylvania took his
leuve. The visitor stated that his call
upon Air. Greeley was delightful iin.l In
teresting and that the great Journalist in
the act of writintf a heavy editorial was
one of the most enleitainlag men he ha 1
ever had the pleasure of meeting.
