' Lieutenant Governor Lyons' predic tion thnt HastliiCH will le the next senator may not be wholly disinter ested, hut It certainly dovetails with present probabilities. The Supreme Duty. The Washington Post is not disposed to admit that under the McKlnley tariff, If that tariff had been let alone, it would have been possible to call In bonds for redemption and thus con llnue the reduction of the public debt. instead of increasing that debt as the Cleveland administration has done This is a mutter not subject to exact determination. But it is well to remem ber that the McKlnley bill did not have a fair chance. It was no sooner passed than the Democracy declared w ar upon It. Importers, in anticipation of Its re peal, withheld importations, thinking to get better terms under a lower tar Iff, and thus the revenues under the McKlnley bill were not normal. If In 1S92 Harrison had been re-elect ed, that fact would have been Inter preted by Importers generally as sign! fylng that the McKlnley bill had come to stay. They would therefore have ceased to withhold Imports, the vol ume of importations would have risen to normal proportions and in conse quence the McKlnley bill would have produced a correspondingly larger rev enue. Since Its sreatest deficiency (which occurred shortly before its re peal) was very small, not in excess of $10,000,000. we regard it as a warrant ed inference that that deficiency would under the foregoing contingency have wholly disappeared. We are strength cned In this conviction by the rellection that hud Harrison been re-elected there Would have been no disturbance of con fidence among American business men, no general paralysis of trade and In dustry and therefore none of the fun damental causes of gold exports, bond sales and agitation tor free coinage, which .contributed so directly to the hard times which prevailed after liar rison's defeat. In other words, It was the repeal oi the McKlnley bill which brought on the perils of the recent presidential campaign, and it will be by the early restoration of the essen tial principles of that bill that those perils may be largely as'erted in fu ture. We have said all along and we repeat with undiminished confidence and emphasis that the silver question was only a surface effect of the Cleveland-Wilson crusade against the McKinU-y Protective tariff. Had the tariff been let alone, our finances would have undergone no derangement and we should noi hove had in the past three years the misery, doubt and gen eral restlessness which have been so grcvlously in evidence. It follows na turally from these unassailable prem ises that the most urgent duty before the next administration Is to restore Protection and thus cut the tap root which feeds the growth of Populism, flat Ism and miscellaneous discontent. The sooner It prepares to discharge this obligation the sooner it will have the pleasure of witnessing a general re currence of healthy prosperity. There Is no Impropriety In Pennsyl vania's expectation of a cabinet of fice. Pennsylvania is the Gibraltar of the Itepubllcun empire, and it demands recognition. Exemptions from Taxation. In the county of Luzerne the assessed valuation of taxable real estate Is esti mated by the commissioners at $24, 857,202, while the value of the real es tate returned as exempt from taxation is put at $i'.4ti,K40, or more than one twelfth The present figures for Lack awanna countv we do not at this mo ment have at hand, but no doubt the ratio of exemption Is about the same. County and municipal real estate would doubtless make up a considerable part of the exempted twelfth, but by far the greater part represents church property. If all church property were taxed, the millage rate would be ap preciably reduced. A cusual suggestion in these columns the other day that It would be setting a good example if the churches would voluntarily "render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's," by shoulder ing their share of the general debt which all citizens owe to the govern ment for protecting them in the law ful ownership of property, called forth, much to our surprise, a general ex pression of approval. Our sole idea In this connection was that it would emphasize and give symmetry to the constitutional divorce in this country between church and state, and do away with any semblance of legislative fa voritism. The debt of society and gov ernment to religion Is incalculable, but unless we grant t) the state rights of partnership with the church, It were more logical to rest the church's claims for support wholly upon an individual rather than upon a political footing. It ought not to add much to con gregational burdens to make provi sion for tha payment of taxes on church property. We don't anticipate that such taxation will Boon be enforced, yet we must say that the clergymen In various cities who are at present agitating for such legislation on the ground that It would put churches on a fairer basis In a business sense and tend to check other requests for ex emption bavins less warrant in point of deserving are presenting some valid arguments. ' Mr. Bryan should recall the case of the parrot which talked Itself to death. Neglecting the Fundamentals. The Justice of a recent remark by , the Philadelphia Bulletin has been brought to our attention. "It is no torious" said that paper, "that the cnmpiptrft education !n the nlos ef flclent or our cnll'gen do-. t.-it Implv a comprehensive ui . of the . Knlllnh tongue. If the graduate Is able to con strue a little Latin and lest Greek, and' Is superficially "iiveinnt with a list. of confuted philosophies, he is regard ed a sufficiently equipped for the busl ness of life." We recently received from a noted western university a series of questions relating to the proper collegiate train? Ing for Journalists. In the list were nine queries as to the value of certain specific studies, and the very last one mentioned was English. It was ap parently overlooked until toward the close of the interrogation and then In serted as an after though English. tno language with which the Journalist has to earn his bread and butter. Possibly the college professor who prepared the questions didn't think It was of enough Importance to speak about, except as a formality. And this, alas. Is true of most of our colleges as true now as it ever was. Time Is literally wasted on abstruse topics of study and speculation which only perve to blunt the faculties and encourage the huhlt of think round a circle while the fundamentals of a prac tl'-al education, which the colleges, by mean of their special facilities and op portunities, ought to widen and deepen are passed over without a thought. Why cannot our higher Institutions of learning realire thnt the object of edu cation Is to qualify for usefulness and happiness, and not to foredoom p In tellectual almlessness? dross frauds alone prevented Mc Klnley from carrying Tennessee. This Is now admitted on all sides. What will the next congress do about it? No Quarter (or Monopolies. While the Wilson bill was pending the Pittsburg Dispatch, a staunch pro tcctionist pupet. strongly urged the In sertlon of the proviso that It should be a defense against the payment of any duty to prove in the United States courts that the domestic production of the article subject to that duty was controlled by a combination, trust or agreement to limit competition. The purpose of this provision was to strike an effective blow at trusts. As the Dispntch ttsfflf says, In reviewing its court.' at that time: "The purpose of protection Is to In crease the competition of domestic producers and thus chear?n prices to the domestic consumers. The Intention of trusts or combinations in any pro tected article Is to defeat that inten tion of the protective policy. It Is, therefore, 'n mere self-defense that a protective tatiff should contain this ef fective proviso, that if protected Indus tries seek to cheat the people out of the full benefit of protection, that pro tectlon shall cease until the attempt to stifle domestic competition Is aban doned. This will be an Important point for the Itepubllcun congress to con shier " The Republican patty can leave to demugogues the work of shouting out promiscuous and undlsciiminatlng abuse of capital, but It cannot afford as a party to ignore the very evident dtsiie of the public for effective relief from abuses of corporate; privilege. It must prove by Judicious deeds the ut ter falsity of the claim that It has nar rowed into a tool of the great moneyed Intel eats of tha land. We are already receiving ocular dem onstrations of the fact that with the mills re-opened, the mints can take care of themselves. What to Do with ex-Convicts. The question of what to do with our ex-convicts having come up again In some of our sociological reviews, an In teresting answer has been supplied by the veteran Journalist and publicist, W. A. Croffut. He writes to the Wash ington Post: What the cx-eonvict needs on turning his back upon the prison door is money. and he needs It most grievously. With money he would have heart to face .ho world, to live down the scowls of old acquaintances, to re-establish his better reputation. Indeed, money and the knowl edge of a. trade would probably have a more powerful reformatory tendency than all other Inlluences combined. What so ciety ought to do, then. Is not only to per mit, but to compel, every occupant of Its penal Institutions to work hard and con tinuously during the entire period of his service. Ho should work ten or twelve hours every day; he should be taught a trade; he should acquire manual expert, ness. The government should keep a strict account with him, charging him with his noun nnil care, and when his term has expired he should receive from the Jailer a sum or money In hand equal to all he has earned minus the expense of his Impris onment. This would often amount to more than the man ever had before at any one time in his life, and'would enable him to look around him upon the world with a new hope. The possession of money has a tendency to teach thrift. Thrift is honesty, and endowed with the feeling of Independence, the average criminal would be already half reclaimed. The objection smetlmes raised that prison labor comes In competition with the labor of men not In prison and In jures honest Industry does not trou ble Mr. Croffut, for tnree reasons: 'First, the competition of COO prisoners Is no greater In Its effects on the labor market than the competition of 500 workmen who are out of prison; second, if 'work produces all there Is,' every workman In the United States must work overtime to support felons who are not allowed to support themselves, and third, disturbers of the peace and violators of the rights of others are a constant menace to worklngmen, who have a primary interest In their refor mation." He odds that a movement Is already on foot to put convicts to work In those prisons which shelter persons sentenced by United States courts. In the case of life sentences, culprits should, in his Judgment, be compelled to work to support their families, and, in the absence of such, to help support the penal Institutions of the country. For our part, we think Mr. Croffut Is about right. , If any sound money Democrat Is recognized, what Is the matter with appointing Charles Anderson Dana minister to England? Desirable Innovations. . The Chicago Times-Herald objects strenuously to the proposition that presidents and vlce-piesldents fihould be elected by direct vote of the people. "If that were done," It says, "the smaller states might as well hold no election at all, for the heavily populated states would control. In the recent election the large majorities In the eastern states, that lb, In New England, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ohio, would have elected McKlnley even If the majorities ho had in all the other states had been revvied. Thr.s ten states would have carried tne elec tion against thirty-live." Well, what of it? If a candidate and a policy so commend themselves to a people as to secure such majorities in ten states, they will be pretty likely to carry mure than ten. In any event the majority ought to rule, no matter where that majority happens to be lo cated We see no possible lnlustlce In the direct election plan at all compar able to the outrage which would have been perpetrated two weeks ago if, notwithstanding McKlnley's sweeping majority of the popular vote, there had been such a slight change in the nine close states as would have elected Hry an In the electoral college. Here a mi nority would have coerced a majority and the minority would have been made up not of the brains but of the in thusiasts and malcontents of the land. The worst danger In the direct elec tion system is In an unfair vote and a fraudulent count. But this danger ex ists anyhow. It existed two weeks ago, It robbed McKlnley of Virginia and Tennessee and it almost stole away Kentucky. If the people of the doml nuting states stood In danger of de feat from fraudulent voting In the southern states, they would not fool and falter as they do now with the question of enforcing a f ree ballot ev erywhere and an honest count. There would then be a sufficient incentive to insure the working out of necessary reforms. We do not go In for constltu tionul changes merely for the fun of the thintf, but we honestly think that direct elections and a six-year presiden tial term are desirable Innovations and that in time they must come. Indefensible Legal Delays. To quarrel with the law for Its many unnecessary delays Is to Indulge In an antiquated pastime, and yet with so many examples of its dllatorlness con tlnually arising, such a quarrel must go on until It ends In victory for Jus tice. The Chicago Times-Herald sup plies the latest frightful example In the case of two Chicago policemen, Mnran and Healey, who. In February, 189." were convicted of the murder of one Swan Nelson. In July, five months later, they were sentenced to the peni tentiary for fourteen years. In the meantime an appeal was taken to the Illinois supreme court, and now, a year and nine months after the orlg' Innl trial, and after the two policemen hud served sixteen months of their sentence, the supreme court reverses the case and sends it back to the lower court for a new tt lal. We do not won dor that the Times-Herald thinks there is "something wrong with laws and courts where such delays are possuie." If the men were Innocent, how can they ever be compensated for the Injustice done them by the long suspense, the Imprisonment and the false stigma; if guilty, what else is the retrial but a Jugglery with Justice? We cannot without a sense of hu miliation contrast this common Ameri can method of stringing out criminal proceedings with the short, sharp and decisive method In vogue In Great Brit aln. There a prisoner Is tried by one tribunal for guilt and if convicted Is expeditiously sentenced. To another tribunal, having at its command regu lar expert witnesses under employment by the crown, is left the determination of questions of moral responsibility and the decision whether the original sen tence shall stand, a pardon shall issue or the convict be remanded to an In flrmaty or asylum. It Is a rare thing for three months to elapse between the commission of the crime and the final disposition of the judicial pro ceedings in the premises. Surely, they "order some things bet ter abroad." The Springfield Republican, Mug., wants to know "what conqueror ever bore captive In more conspicuous tri umph than Grover Cleveland will bear the next president on down through the shouting thousands along Pennsyl vania avenue to the capltol on the 4th of next March?" If triumph consists of being proved wrong and repudiated on every Issue before the people save only the mandatory duty of keeping all the money of the government at a par ity, then our Mugwump contempor ary's query Is eminently germane. Tf th next congress doea Ha duty. McKinley will have an extra cabinet officer to appoint a secretary of com merce. Business Interests all over the country demand such a cabinet de partment. They deserve to have their way about It. There Is no doubt that the "coun try members," so-called, can defeat Boyer, slap Quay, snub Hastings and play hob generally; but do they want to? We opine not. It Is the general opinion of far-see ing men that American politics has seen the last of the solid South. It is well. Jlist a Word or Two of Caslial Mention Many are the superstitious fancies thnt still survive. 1'rothonotary Fryor, for In stance, won't let an object, such as a hitching post, separate him from the per. son with whom he Is walking.

Sagittarius began yesterday, Nov. 22, and will continue until Dec. 21. Sagit tarius belongs to that part of the body rep resented by the thighs, which relates to the muscular and motor and nerve-systems. Children of Sagittarius are usually bold, fearless, determined and 'combative. In everything they are very decisive and are apt to be too quick to decide act, and speak. They are pretty apt to express the, first thing that comes into their minds, and Just as it appears to them re. gardless of the consequences, and are therefore often led into combat and make enemies. They hate anything hid den, even secret organlzatiot:. They are liable to go to extremes both as friends and enemies. Children of Sagittarius nave a natural Inclination to chastity and are usually the strongest persons phy sically of the twelve signs. The diseases to which they are most liable are sciatica, rheumatic pains and weakness of the chest and lungs with a tendency to consumption. On this ac count they should avoid damp localities as much us possible. They are frequently finely organized, having a good deal of true prophetic nature and ability to fore, tell events. Of the children of Sagittarius the an cient astrologers speak as follows: "Sagit tarius is not altogether evil, for when a son is born the Sun dwelling in It, doth give him fortune and minlstreth courage to take anything in hand In whatsoever he purposes: and especially to travel in strange countries and to cross .the seas and not return without great gain. H . shall also get friends to assist him to come Into the houses and courts of princes or rich men. not to gather up the trench ers or lick the dishes, as the common or viler sort of courtiers do; but .to be put In some office, as steward, or such like; to the which promotion his agility and strength shall greatly prefer him. Tha woman born when the Sun Is In Sagittari us shall not much differ; but she shall be full of anxiety, painful, merciful and much envied, and laid in wait for by evil men; but she shall overcome them. She shall marry at about the aes of 17 years, but if that marriage proceed not she shall not marry until the age of 24 years." TIIK' UVY. From the Times-Herald.
