Watterson Looks Ahead.
Those papers which ure served by the
Associated Press printed yesterday a
rery readable th-ee-column Interview
had in Paris by cne of its representa
tives with Henry Watterson, America's
Itinerant ambassador extraordinary,
tt was devoted to a consideration of
the lessons of the recent presidential
Mectlon, and for a wonder the impul
Jlve Kentucklan repressed his exuber
nt spirits and reined in his fondness
Tor sensational epigrams and met
aphors Ions enough to present a singu
larly thoughtful and Impressive state
ment of beliefs.
He does not consider th? defeat of
Hryan as final to the agitation which
liryan lately represented. That defeat
in his Judgment ends the free silver
Trenzy of the IS to 1 kind, but the ele
ments of disorder It has called Into be
ing and the agrarian issues It lias set
In motion remain to be reckoned with.
He fears the early dissolution of the
Republican nnd Sound Money Dem
ocratic alliance, nnd still holds t.i his
familiar antagonism to Protection,
which is the rock upon which he looks
for that alliance to split. "In 1000," he
continues, "we shall have to face the
same nuestloii In a new form, nnd the
Issue will be, under existing conditions:
'Are orderly governments and popular
Rovernment concurrent possibilities?'
If we are to have many presidential
campaigns like the one Just ended, they
are not. Unless the great body of the
people can be brought to realize the
changes of a century of progress, every
four years will witness a party taking
the field In support of the alleged rights
of humanity whose very existence Is a
menace to the public order, the peace
of society, the just balance of the peo
ple, the credit of the nation and every
other good and perfect thing supposed
to emanate from our republican sys
tem." The problem, therefore, is to combat
the spread of sectionalism and agiarl
nnlsm, disarm the discontented as far
as possible of their just reasons for
complaint, seek to overcome ill-founded
class prejudices and work for the
development of a unifying patriotism.
He looks to the East to lead In this
work, and says to It, in words that may
well be pondered: "In Its concentra
tion of the wealth of the country and
in its ostentatious display of this
wealth, in the gradual cultivation of
caste, in the tendency to hug its vast
riches nnd in the finding of means to
keep its millions at home, let it behold
a danger it will do well to consider in
the light of both ancient and modern
history, and if It has any real states
men they cannot put their genius and
resources to better uses than by the
construction of policies which will
bring them alliances and make them
friends policies wise and broad, Justi
fying in some measure the unlimited
accumulations they have been able to
pile up in such a relatively short com
pass of time. Those accretions not only
serve to breed corruption among them
selves, but they unite against the sim
ple rights of property all the forces of
cupidity and rapine, operating on agrar
ian and sectional lines. States have
been saved before now by timely fore
cast." We cannot agree with Colonel Wat
terson In his views on Protection; but
to nil else that he says we subscribe un
reservedly. Kven the staid old London Academy
and Saturduy Review, from time Im
memorial noted as sticklers against in
fiovntion, have betjun to print pictures.
The day of illustrated journalism has
evidently arrived.
Hope for the Blind.
The current Issue of th Klectrlcal
I'ngineer contains on announcement
by Thomas A. Kdlson which can hard
ly fall to attract International atten
tion. Taking his cue from the experi
ence of the San Francisco professor
who, having been blind for fourteen
years, one day In Jest placed the lluor
oscope to his eyes nnd declared his
ability to see. Mr. Kdison began Inves
tigations to determine the effect of the
Roentgen or "X"-ray upon the eye
sight. He now aflirms that with strong
tubes one can easily see through the
hand with the naked eye when both arc
brought close to the tube. In other
words, the X-ray Is an extraordinary
eye-tonic, so to speak.
"This." Fays Mr. Kiiison. "is the start.
While I know nothing of the eye from
a surglcnl standpoint, I have found out
that darkness intensities the power to
see. I have discovered by mathematic
al deductions that staying In an abso
lutely dark room for thirty minutes In
creases the sensitiveness of the eye
twenty-five fold. I lind It so In the use
of the flunroscone, and It will soon be
recognized by all scientists. It follows,
then, thnt the eyes of the blind must
be many hundreds of times more sen
sitive than that of the normal, pro
vided the optic nerve Is In a healthy
state. Here the discovery hinges. If
the optic nerve Is all right no matter
what the condition of outer eye may
be there should be hope of wight, from
a scientific standpoint."
"This discovery," Mr. Edison con
tinues, "strikes me as being especially
well adapted to persons suffering from
cataracts beyond the power of surgical
skill. These persons have In most es
sential respects nnrmnl eyes. The
nerve Is nil risht and, being covered
to total darkness, the eyes must be
sensitive to a degree Impossible to cal
culate. With the Roentgen ray to pen
etrate this film why should not these
persons see?"
It Is interesting to note that Profes
sor Qoodspeed, of the University of
Pennsylvania, shares Mr. Kdlson's
bopefulness on this point. Says he: "I
see nothing impossible in the sugges
tion of making the blind see, when
certain abnormal conditions of the eye
has produced blindness. For instance,
when a cataract has appeared over the
eye. Cataract is due to au:.ic!ty of
the crystaline lens and it may exist
when the eye is otherwise optically
perfect. Since the X-rays pass stead
ily through many things opmjue to oth
er forms of radiant energy ft may not
be too much to assume that they may
puss Into an eye thus diseased, anJ
produce seme sensation upon the optic
nerve."
It Is needless to odd that the public
will await with eagerness the utiliza
tion ot this certainly Important discov
ery. The Tribune will print tomorrow an
article by Mr. Richmond reviewing In
detail the advantages and possibilities
of the city of Winnipeg, nnd giving
substantial reasons why this energetic
capital of the (.'anadinu Northwest
seems deslinecl at no far distant day
to surpass Chicago. It Is an interesting
article in itself, and it adds pertinency
to the dream of a united North Ameri
can republic.
Philadelphia and the Senate.
"It Is a remarkable fact," observes a
contributor to the Philadelphia F.ulle
tln. "that the city or the county of
Philadelphia, including at all times one
tlfth to one-fourth of the population of
Pennsylvania, has not bet n able to
send one of Us own citizens to the Unit
ed States senate since the days of An
drew Jackson's first term as president,
lioston has Lodge in the senate, ns she
has had several of her eminent citi
zens; William M. Kvarts went thither
from New York city; Gorman has been
practically n Haltimoro man; Foraker's
career has bc n passed In Cincinnati;
Curl Schuiz hailed from St. Louis when
he was a senator for Missouri; Farwell
was a favorite of Chicago; Zaeh Chand
ler won his fortune and his honors in
Detroit; Harrison went Into the senate
from Indianapolis and so over a score
of Instances might be named of city
men born or brought up in big centers
of population, who have succeeded at
times in breaking down the country
prejudice against the cities. Rut such
a thing has not happened In Philadel
phia for sixty-live year.-, or before
either of the present senators from
Pennsylvania was botn."
Hut Is this fact so very remarkable?
When has Philadelphia In the Inter
vening time presented as Its candidate
a man of noble character and high at
tainments nnd supported him with
practical unanimity? Take for ex
ample, Its present candidates. The two
most prominent ones are Penrose and
Wanamaker. The people of Philadel
phia wouldn't have Penrose for mayor,
much less a senator; and as for Wana
maker, if he wete to wake up one morn
ing and find that his fortune had van
ished the preceding night, by noon he
wouldn't have a corporal's guard of
supporters for senator or any other of
fice. Take, also, the third name men
tioned In Philadelphia, that of I. A. H.
Wldener. Probably not one man In five
hereabouts has ever heard of Wldener,
He Is a very able and estimable busi
ness man, so far as we know, but Is
rendered unsuitable by reason of cer
tain corporate affiliations and by the
fact that his capabilities for such a po
sition are wholly a matter of conjec
ture. So It has been for years. Phila
delphia Ignores her good men and then
wonders why she cannot have a clear
path for the pollticu! exultation of her
poor ones.
When Philadelphia uses judgment in
the selection of senatorial candidates
she can probably win.
Henry Watterson wants the Demo
cracy to observe fi day of fasting and
prayer. We don't know about the
prayers, but after March 4 it will have
plenty of lasting.
The Faribault Plan.
The numerous conflicting reports cur
rent as to Archbishop Ireland's stand
ing at the Vatican having been affected
adversely by recent representations on
the part of Cardinal Satolll and cer
tain conservative American bishops re
calls the starting of the present fac
tional warfare among the clergy of
the Catholic chinch In the United
States. It dates back to 1S91, when
arose the celebrated controversy over
what was known nt the time ns the
Faribault plan That plan merits ex
planation. The parish priest of Faribault, Minn.,
a community with a large Catholic ri
ulntiou, transferred to the ciy school
board with Archbishop Ireland's ap
proval, control of the parochial school,
reserving the right to present names
of teachers, who were to lie subject to
the usual examination. The expense
of conductin;; the school wus to be
borne by the city, there were to be no
religious exercises, no religious insli no
tion, no religious emblems in the school,
and the isaine text-books were t.t In
employed as in the other public schocls.
In fact, the only difference between the
parochial school and the other s,':Ikki.
lay In the stipulated right of the priest
of the parish to designate persons from
among whom the teachers In it were to
be chosen by tegular exniiilimiiou.
The conservative wing In the Cath
olic chureh Immediate!:.- lodged com
plaint in Rome, and uftot a long dis
cussion it was decided by the supreme
ecclesiastical tribunal of thnt church
that while the Faribault plan might
by reason of peculiar locnl conditions
be permissible in Faribault and Still
water (another .Minnesota town In
which It had In the mean time been
adopted) It would not be admissible
in future cases. Hy this decision the
Catholic church virtually put an end
to e.Torts within that church to nego
tiate for a compromise with upholders
of the American common school sys
tem, and to it we may fairly ascribe
not a little of the subsequent vitality
of the anti-Catholic movement In the
middle west.
It is one of the misfortunes of Cath
olicism that an able and sagacious
churchman like Archbishop Ireland,,
who has accurate krimvl-dae of the
conditions surrounding him, Is subject
to interference from distant authori
ties not able to grasp the significance
of such movements. When the Vatican
turns away from him It turns away
from its ablest American representa
tive and simply hastens the inevitable
day when the American portion of
that ecclesiastical system will reor
ganize itself on a basis of Independence.
The sad news comes that the chief
consulships, once worth anywhere from
$10,000 to $"A0OO a year uplece, have
been so adjusted as to be worth here
after only the regular salaries, which
do not exceed $.'.IHX. To some this will
lie an unexpected shrinkage of the
fruits of victory.
Colonel Watterson, over In Paris, af
firms that Mi Kinley's election has set
tled nothing. Rut IhtvuIm.uIs we think
it has settled a good deal. For one
thing It has settled free silver and free
riot, tnd we suspect that It has also
put the finishing touch on free trade.

It tJ reported that the clergymen
of the state are to be solicited by the
Wanamaker managers to co-operate
toward the ex-postmaster general's
election to the senate. We would like
to know how they will respond to such
an overture.
It will take ICS votes In the next Re
publican joint caucus at Harrlsburg,
provided nil the Republican members
are present, to nominate a senator.
The question is, who will get that
number?
The bicycle ha3 put Lillian Russell
to bed and may cause the loss of her
voice. This would probably not rank
high as a public misfortune but It
shows how a popular pastime can bo
overdone.
Nevada has one presidential elector
to l.'.OOO people and Pennsylvania one
to about 1.0,0U0. Yet some people think
the electoral college is fairly appor
tioned. Jlisf a Word or Tu)o
of Casual Mention
Since the tulvent of the golf craze in
Scranton there has been much curiosity
on the part of the uninitiated as to how
the game is played. It Is loss difficult to
understand it theoretically than to play
It. "on pa(er" It Is easy.
The game requires a series of circular
holes, four Inches In diameter, situated
at various distances ranging from eighty
to Duo yards from each other and which
ure generally cut on a patch of smooth
turf. The players are either two or four
(two on a side) In number. The object
of the game is to drive the bull from
hole to holo over the course in the fewest
number of strokes, the player succeeding
in "hollas" the ball In the fewest num
ber whining that hole. The greatest num
ber of holes thus gained in one or more
rounds ordinarily decides the match,
though sometimes It Is agreed to award
victory to the smullest aggregate num
ber of strokes required to hole the course.
Kaeh player must be furnished with a
set of clubs of different lengths and
shapes, to be employed uceordlng to the
position of the ball or the distance It Is
to be driven.

Once upon a time a statesman gained
glury and honors through the Indulgence
of his party. His name became a house,

that he was the party. And the slates
man was visited by divers persons who
had axes to grind; and he said unto him
self: "It Is lie I ceil fortunate for the
party that 1 gave time and talent to its
service. I will eat, drink and be merry
and Jump on those who oppose me, fur
