It Is needless for The Tribune to
say that it Is actuated by no hostil
ity to Hon. John It. Fair In declining
to support him for speaker. It does not
think that Mr. Farr has any. chance
to sueceed, and It was committed to
another candidate before it knew that
he hud asylratlons in that direction.
We Blinll be clad to see Mr. Farr get
a cood chairmanship, as he no doubt
will. '
Brass Before Brains.
One of the pathetic features of the
present canvass for the next I'nited
States senatorshlp in this state is the
appearance of the gifted editor of the
Philadelphia Press In the attitude of
spokesman for the candidacy of one Im
measurably his own Inferior as a possi
bility for that ollloe. It illustrates a
singularly deplorable state of political
sentiment in the city of Philadelphia
that a man like Hon. John Wanamaker,
with practically nothing to recommend
his candidacy beyond his possession of
a considerable reputation for a certain
quality of commercial sagacity and
large wealth, should be preferred by
the Business-Men's association and the
Manufacturers' club of that city to a
genuine statesman, orntor and polished
man of affairs like Charles Emory
Smith. In whom the Interests of Phila
delphia and of the entile commonwealth
would have almost an Ideal representa
tive and champion.
However much it may go counter to
Mr. Smith's Inclination to be drawn into
a discussion of this character we can
not refrain from directing attention to
the Immense distance which Intervenes
between the levtl which Mr. Wana
maker would necessarily occupy ns a
senator of the United States and that
to which Mr. Smith's own varied and
exceptional talents and acquirements
would lift him wire he to be elected to
that exalted position Instead. It seems
almost a violence to American Institu
tions that linanclnl and corporate inllu
ences should be aulllcient to project a
mediocre personage like Mr. Wana
maker to the front In the direction of
lofty political aspiration, while a mod
est but Incomparably superior possi
bility like Mr. Smith is to nil appear
ances stood aside as a property of forces
which he has not the means to combat.
We consider It a blistering shame that
this Is so and It Is one of the most po
tent reasons why we oppose the candi
dacy of Mr. Wanamaker and hope to
see It defeated as It deserves..
Penor Dupuy de Lome, the Spanish
minister, in a private conversation Is
reported to have said a war between
his country nnd the United States was
"possible." Of course ho has since de
nied making BUch a statement, yet the
original report is doubtless true. A
war with Spain of course is possible.
Jlut It isn't probable, so long as Spain
knows what is good for her.
Good Advice.
In his letter to the 128th annual ban
quet of the New York Chamber of
Commerce President Cleveland gave
the following good advice to business
men generally: "Recent events may
well cause those who represent busi
ness Interests to rejoice In their escape
from threatened peril. But while they
have abundant reason for rejoicing,
nnd can view with the greatest satis
faction the support they have given the
cause of sound money, In the contest
lately waged against It, I earnestly
hope that In this time of congratula
tion It will be remembered thnt not
only constant vlgilunce and continued
effort are required to even maintain
present conditions, but thut absolute
safety will only be secured when our
financial system Is protected by af
firmative and thorough reforms. When
our business men are habitually alert
and watchful, and when they are,
moreover, fully aroused to the import
ance of siuli legislative action concern
ing our finances as business methods
approve and the welfare of the entire
country requires, much good may be
confidently anticipated, not only in the
accomplishment of practical results,
but in the removal of hurtful preju
dices, through an assurance to the peo
ple that business and patriotism are
becoming more and more united."
In past campaigns It hns been with
extreme difllculty that business men
as a class could be aroused to an active
and aggressive interest for good gov
ernment. They have shunned politics.
Many of them have staid away from
party primaries. Some even declined
or neglected to vote. The presidential
election of 1896 was the first one In
this generation in which business men
almost withoutexceptlon awoke to their
duties and constituted themselves Into
campaign committees. Their partici
pation in politics was on a scale hith
erto unprecedented. They even had
courage In many cases to take such a
part In the fight for national honor as
meant temporary loss to themselves
in way of offended patronage holding
opposite opinions. It was an unusual
and an eventful uprising of the busi
ness brain and character of the coun
try In defense of the country's wel
fare, and it ought to teach the Amer
ican business man that his place is
in politics. Politics can be made to
reflect business . principles if business
men will continue to give their atten
tion to it. The abuses which drove
many business men out of it in past
campaigns can in large measure be
remedied if the business man will do
his part toward remedying them.
By all means let the good work go on.
Let Mr. Bryan talk. He was
terestlng while the fig Tit was on, but
as an obsolete babbler he will soon
grow monotonous.
Better Qtt Contracts.
Stripped of Its legal verbiage, the an
swer filed by President Mitchell, of the
Scranton Board of Control to the decla
ration of Professor ilcCloskey Is that
while the board did employ Mr. Mc
Closkey as a teacher In the high school
It subsequently changed Its mind be
fore a formal and air-tight contract had
been executed and put on file. The
moral obligation was there, but there
is. In the board's opinion, a legal loop
hole through which it can escape from
any financial obligation.
We are told that there are several
other teachers now on the city pay roll
who never had any formal contracts
executed. Perhaps If the board Is much
given to sudden mlnd-changlng, these
teachers had better insist upon con
tracts. Already more than sixty pledges of
support have come to ex-Speaker fioy
er In his candidacy for the next speak
ership at liarrisburg, leaving only
twenty-six to be secured between this
and caucus time. The new "combine"
will evidently have to hustle.
That Taylor Street Car War.
The legal aspects of the recent Taylor
street car war need not be touched
upon, since they will doubtless be fully
and fairly adjudicated In court. But
there Is a moral principle Involved in
the episode w hleh may with propriety
be considered In the public pr-ss.
Here was a quasi-public corporation
which agreed to perform certain ser
vices for the borough of Taylor in ex
change for the right to run tars through
that borough's principal street. Whether
these services were an exorbitant price
for the franchise privilege Is not now a
point at Issue. The compact was made.
The conditions laid down by the bor
ough were accepted by the company
and fell by stipulation on the shouldi rs
of the road's lessees. Why were those
conditions not promptly and fairly ful
filled? People sometimes wonder why there
Is so much prejudice against corpora
tions. Corporations admittedly are
good things when wisely and honorably
nnd generously conducted. But If
there is any uncertainty as to the ori
gin of th' widespread nntl-corporntlon
feeling or any doubt as to where such
men as Bryan and Altgeld get their
grip on American politics, It can be re
moved by a close study of the Taylor
Incident, which Is but typical of too
many cases of corporation forgetful-
n?ss of public obligations.
It Is suggested, and with wisdom,
that the ballot law should be amended
ro that the secretary of the common
wealth must certify a list of the can
didates to the county commissioners
not later than thirty days before elec
tion. The law now reads fourteen
days, and that does not give margin
enough for the proper printing of the
ballots.
Taxation of Church Property.
The fact that one of the commission
ers of Allegheny county, Mr. Mercer,
favors taxing church property Just as
any other property nnd Is talking of
getting up a bill embodying this idea
for presentation before the next legis
lature calls to mind that several of
the clergymen of New York city are
also on record In favor of such taxa
tion. The view thnt religious and
charitable property should be put by
the state on an equal footing with other
real estate has hitherto obtained main
ly among opponents of churches, but it
ought not necessarily to argue an
tagonism to religion or to philanthropy.
On business grounds the case stands
thus: Churches and charities do great
good and therefore merit generous con
sideration. But on the other hand,
ought not this consideration to come
through private rather than through
official channels? The fact that in our
government church is constitutionally
divorced from state suggests that the
state, purely as a political creation,
could easily and with propriety in Its
official sphere recognize no special
claims to exemption or favoritism. The
claims of religion especially ore per
sonal rather than political: they should
look for generosity from persons rather
thnn legislatures.
We do not suppose that a time Is
likely to come in our generation when
a Pennsylvania legislature will ven
ture to impose taxation on church prop
erty, consequently any lengthy discus
sion of the subject would be merely
aeudemlc. Yet we agree with Commis
sioner Mercer, of Allegheny county,
that it would be a desirable thing If
our churches wcr voluntarily to set
the example of recognizing that gen
eral debt which every property owner
owes In equity to the civil government
which protects him in the possession of
his own.
The roster of the Spanish legation at
Washington Includes twelve names,
being second in size only to Great Bri
tain's. Too many officials nnd too lit
tle good government seem to be Spain's
general and chronic complaint.
A Prophecy.
"The day may come in the United
States when a multitude of people op
pressed by hard times will be called
upon to choose rulers. On the one side
will stand a statesman preaching pa
tience, respect for vested rights and
strict observance of public faith. On
the other side will stand a demagogue
ranting about the tyranny of usuerers
and capitalists. Let us hope that if
such a season of udversity ever comes
the American nation will not act like
people who would in a year of scarcity
devour all the seed corn and thus make
the next year a year not a scarcity
but of absolute famine."
This is not a campaign speech. It is
a passase from a private letter writ
ten in 1817 by Lord Macaulay, the em
inent English historian. As the Cleve
land World, from whose columns we
take this excerpt, says, "the hope ex
pressed by Macaulay has been fulfilled.
The American people found themselves
In exactly the position predicted by
that eminent scholar, and the hope ex
pressed In this most remarkable letter
has been carried out to the dot."
Out In Indiana the Republican congress-men-elect
have decided to make
applicants for postmasterships submit
their claims to a popular vote, the high
est man to win. There isn't much
doubt that a similar rule in Pennsylva
nia would materially simplify matters.
The report that a young lad named
Westcott in Forest City is stilt suffer

of hypnotic phenomena. It is to the
Interest of science to make a more
authoritative and exact explanation
than has yet been vouchsafed.

ten, best printed, best bound and best

that are to be had these days for love or
money, and thereby putting the world
under obligations, has begun an Inter
esting experiment in Journalism,
which we hope will succeed. It is
printing an eight-page leaflet, called
the Dally Tatler, and given over wholly
to book reviews, literary gossip, dram
atic and musical critiques and chirpy
miscellany on kindred subjects. Its
reviews and critiques are prepared by
able and witty writers who sign their
names and merit attention. This little
dally sells for two cents and Is worth
ten to any one who has sufficient gump

Jtisf a Word or Tu?o
of Castial Mention
Bill Nyo would be laughing yet If he
happened upon that blood curdling' scene
in Taylor borough Tuesduy evening when
the Traction company removed the ob
struction from the car tracks. The con
stables of Taylor borough are a band f
unconscious comedians. One man, unfor
tunately, has an Impediment In his speech.
It Is not exactly an Impediment, but,
again unfortunately, he has no roof to his
mouth, nnd when he talks the some I
comes in n linked monotone. Only close
acquaintances can understand him. When

When the pistol was drawn by Deputy
Price and was pointed at the saloon-keeper
the way tho latter scampered home

Is five feet In height, -ed

he is no sprinter. He afterward stated
for the benefit of the men about his bar

He only ran to get his gun.

"You'll be on the dead line, Barney, if
you don't look out," was the encouraging
retort.

one who knew him.
"Well, I am," said Charlie, modestly
yet earnestly; "I was better though be

The same man was talking all the time
about that "Infernal Injudgment," as he
called It. He didn't see what was the use

Frank Daniels, the popular opera come
dian, hns a peculiar superstition. Ho
will not open a telegram marked "col
lect." it came about In this way. There
was nn actor who was promised a place
In "The Wizard of the Nile" cast before
thnt opera was produced. The actor was
a good one, hut be had a bad thirst, which
made him at times nn uncertain quanti
ty. However. Daniels, knowing what n
good actor the man was In his Intervals
of sobriety engaged, him, with the sole
proviso that be should stop trying to ex
haust the supply of Intoxicants. The ac
tor promised, nnd for some time kept
sober. Then came the time for rehearsals,
nnd Immediately the actor fell from grace
He came to the theater very, very In
toxicated on more thnn one occasion, nnd
finally he wns discharged nnd another
got to fill his place. Then he demand '. 1
5Jii for the time he had lost In rehearsal,
which wns refused.
"All right." said he Daniels. "If you
won't pay me one way you will another.
You shall hear from me, sir."
Hut weeks passeil nnd he was not heard
from, nnd Daniels was glad. Then the
company opened Its season In Wiikes
li.irre, and when, next day, the company
reached Scranton, Daniels was greeted
by a telegram, '. O. D.. Sit rents, which
the manager of the Academy had paid
for him. It wns from the actor, and con
gratulated D.iniels on his success. Dan
iels swore. In WIHiamsport was another
telegram, C. O. D.. $1. H, which was also
from the nctor, und also eonara tul.'.tory.
In Pittsburg another was waiting, and
this time It was for $2.2'!. It was very
congratulatory; and was from the nctor.
And so !t went all .lions the road, even
Into New Yor'', where there were six
telegrams nwnlting the W'izird. Hy this
time the Kliole cost was a little over $7
and then Daniels saw through the trick
nnd swore an oath or two. It was at this
period that he no tilled all theaters that no
more C, o. D. telegrams were to he re
ceived; nnd himself formed the resolution
to put nsiu'e In future all bis curiosity as
to un:aid messages.

Captain Charles E. Clark, the cham

Is this year doing a safe-cracking part In
a lurid melodrama and stringing the boys
of the press as he goes along. Here is
one of his stories:
"Some of the actors guy me and say I
never sr.ved a life. I met JIat Goodwin,
the comedian, at Atlantic Ity a few
years ago, and he snld to me. Say. Cap..
I don't th'nk you ever saved a life In
your life. But do you want to save one?'
'Yes, I'll go you, Nat,' said I. 'Then buy
mo a drink.' suld he. But I got even with
a fellow who played a villain In the show.
Our manager used to send me In the gal
lery to Jolly along the applause. I got
tho villain hot. 1 smuggled a pair of clap
sticks with me Into the gallery, and ev
ery time the villain came on I brought
those sticks together with a whack. The
gallery door-keepers jumped on me. 'What
do you mean by applauding like that?"
they said. 'Do you suppose I would ap
plaud a bim show like this unless I got
paid for It?' said I. That used to shut 'cm
up."

THE MOMiOE DOCTRINE.
From the Sun.
What, then. Is the present position of the
Monroe doctrine, Jn view of Lord Salis
bury's final consenting to do for the
United States what he persistently re
fused to do for Venezuela, although he be.
gan by declining to admit that the Vnlted
States had any business to meddle with
tho boundary of n British colony? The
position Is this: The Monroe doctrine
has been recognized by the greatest marl
time power upon the globe, not, Indeed,
as a law, but ns a fact; a massive, tow.
erlng, Insupernble fact: No other Euro
pean state will ever try to surmount the
barrier, which has proved Impassable to
even the earth hunger of Grent Britain.
It matters nothing to us henceforth that
tho Monroe doctrine Is no principle of In
ternational Jurisprudence, sanctioned by
congresses of the powers and embedded
In the text of treaties. It Is something
better thnn a low, because laws are often
broken; It Is a notorious. Ineffaceable, In
destructible fact. The whole world will
hereafter understand that by virtue of
the might, which !s the ultimate arbiter
of right, we have asserted and shall dis
charge the duty of protecting every
American republic from encroachments
upon Its soil at the hunds of any Euro
pean nation.
