SECOND-CLASS WAIL UATTIR
SCRANTON. DECEMLSEK 1, 1S90.
We conct'lve It to be due to the public
that a complete report nhould be print
ed of last evening's proceedings of the
board of control; and this is done
on another page. We shall be glad to
Klve equal publicity to any statement
which Superintendent Howell mny
make. We cunnot believe that he was
actuated by any either than worthy
motives in his course with reference to
Mrs. liooth; If he erred In anything It
must have been In sivinff too much
confidence to undeserving testimony,
Ignored Business Principles.
An Interesting light Is thrown by
President Proctor of the Civil Service
commission upon the cfllciency of Hon
John Wanamaker as postmaster-general.
The executive order putting rail
way mail clerks under civil service rules
was to have become operative on April
1, lSK'.i, but had for clerical reasons to
be postponed one month . Says X'rofes
sor Proctor:
"Postmaster - General Wunamnker
took advantage of this Interval and
made 1,1100 changes In the ruilway mail
service for the benefit of politicians,
which I think was n great mistake, and
the records of the service leave no
doubt on that question. The reports
from the railway mail service show that
dniinp; the year- IShU before these l.l'OO
changes took place the ratio of errors
by rallwny mail clerks was one to
Wr.4 pieces of mail handled. In IS'JO,
tlie year following, the ratio increased
to one error for 2.S24 pieces of mail
handled. Since then under the merit
system anil promotion for efficiency the
ratio has decreased until it Is now only
one mistake for 10,000 pieces of mail
matter."
Mr. Wnnnn.aker's candidacy for sen
ator is being exploited by business
men on the theory that he would rep
resent and so far as he could employ
business principles in official position.
The foregoing record certainly does not
bear this theory out.

i
The trouble with Ilev. Dr. Parkhurst
Is that he has the troublesome habit
of every now and then speaking the
bald truth. That is very annoying to
nil concerned.
The American School System.
An Interesting poinj of educational
law has just, been decided in New York
State. In West Troy the board of edu
cation leased rooms in the St. Uridget's
parochial school for public school pur
poses and employed as teachers there
in members of the St. Joseph sister
hood, who wore their regular gall) while
in the school room. It was claimed by
the board that this arrangement saved
the district considerable money, but
there was objection among some of
the people in the district, and the le
gality of the arrangement was referred
to State Superintendent Skinner for an
opinion.
His finding is of value as bearing
upon similar cases elsewhere and ns
tending to elucidate the attitude of the
American people on this general ques
tion. He holds that Inasmuch ns the
Bisters have been regularly examined
and commissioned they are duly quali
fied teachers and cannot lie dismissed
without sufficient cause, their religious
belief not entering Into the problem.
Put he holds also that the teachers in
the public schools of the state might
not to wear the distinctive garb of any
religious denomination, order, sect or
society, but dress in the usual costume
worn by men and women generally;
nnd that any other costume or usage
Is inimical to the best educational in
terests of the locality and should be
discontinued. To those not satlslled
with this complete severance of secu
lar and religious Instruction he suggests
that the private school is open. The
leasing of rooms in a sectarian building
surmounted by a sectarian emblem is
pronounced Illegal.
This may grate upon the nerves of
some denominations which would like
to effect a compromise tending to obvi
ate the necessity of supporting two nets
of schools, but it Is the plain justice
of the situation. The state cannot with
safety go Into partnership with any
church or sect in control of public In
struction. The moment It does, it opens
the door to endless discrimination and
favoritism.
Major McKlnley was elected presi
dent on a pledge to do what he could
within reason to secure international
bimetallism. Of course he will carry
out his Instructions.
Concerning Inter-State Commerce.
A decision recently rendered at Cin
cinnati, O., by Judge Sage, of the Fed
eral circuit court. In a suit Involving
the right of the Interstate commerce
commission to fix a specific rate, holds
with the United States Supreme court
that congress has clothed that com
mission with no such power. The sense
of Judge Sage's ruling was that the
commission may decide whether a par
ticular rate is unjust or unreasonable,
it mav ascertain whether rates und
contracts show discrimination between
either persons or places similarly cir
cumstanced, and, In General, it may
supervise, as an administrative and
not ns a judicial body, the transpor
tation within its purview but the rail
roads retain full power within these
limits to make their own rates. They
continue "free," as the Supreme court
says, "to make special contracts look
ing to the Incrense of their business, to
classify their traffic, to adjust and ap
portion their rates so as to meet the
necessities of commerce, and generally
to manage their important Interests
upon the same principles which are re
garded as sound and; adopted in other
trades and pursuits."
This ruling accords with common
sense. It can hardly be held by the
most enthusiastic advocate of federal
regulation of railroads that officers of
a national - commlssloa should have
power not only to prevent discrimina
tion, but also to fix an arbitrary max-'
itnum limit to charees for transporta
tion. The latter power would be equiv
alent to taking from the owners of the
road the management o'f their o.vn
property, und would warrant . them.
should their business sustain a loss, in
crediting that loss to federal interfer
ence and In suin the government for
damages. The' I'nlted States govern
ment is an important Institution and it
has ri::hts which merit respect, but
iven it is not big enough nor strong
enough unoy-r Its laws to force a loss
on such of its citizens as are living
wholly within their rights.
There is much need of intelligent fed
eral regulation of Interstate commerce
to the end thut the little shipper shall
have fair trout me lit us well us the big
and that neither shall have his rights
menaced by combinations on the part
of carriers for the purpose of "doing"
the public. The present law can with
profit be amended so as to give the in
terstate commerce commission ampler
authority along these lines. Put it
must not be clothed with urhitrury or
legislative powers; it must at all times
be an enforcer, not a muker of laws.
In IStil Nevada cast 16,420 votes und
In 1ST, 1!,6.U votes, but since then th
total has steadily diminished until this
year it amounted only to Sr,u" votes, or
S-5 votes more than wire cast in the
First Legislative district of Lackawnn
na county; 577 more than were cast in
the Second district und 2,01111 less than
were cast in the Fourth district. And
yet this beggarly state has one repre
sentative anil two senators in congress,
and there is no known way to remedy
the inequality.
In Reply to Weyler.
Signer Yarona, the Cuban journalist
who has undertuken to reply to General
W'ejier's recent statement, does so ef
fectually. Weyler-, il will be retnem
bered, claimed that the Cubans enjoyed
home rule, possessed a free voice In tin
enactment of laws governing them
selves and Were not In any particular
warranted in resisting Spanish suprem
acy. To this Signer Yarona answers:
Permit me to state thut the Cuban rep
resentation of which the general hoaaU
was iiiul is no menu than a sham ami :
hollow mockery for two reasons: I-'Ii-m
because the number of Cuban electors is
limited In saeli a manner that they rcpiv
sent only about It per cent, of the popul.i
Hull. Scroll, I, the law was framed in such
a manner that tile resident Spaniards
would always have tlie major proportion
of the representation. I'p to the present
time the average membership of Cutia'is
In the parliament has been three, the
highest number ever reached helm? s.eveii.
The same state of affairs exists in the
municipal and provincial novel lililclitH, s:o
mill h so that it is a fact that in the Ha
vana city council it lias occurred that
there was net one single Cuban member;
this, notwithstanding that throughout the
entire island. In tin- city and country dis
tricts, the majority of tin- population Is
by an ovciwhclmiiiK number native . li
bit n.
As to the alleged freedom of speech
und ot the press, the Siynor remarks:
Tile Spaniard wants the world to be
lieve that the mere fact of the enactment
of a liberal law carries with It the full ap
plication of that law. Ucncral Weyler tol I
nothing about tlie couiitcrlaws which
make it possible for the Spaniards to vio
late the liberal laws on one pretext or an.
oilier. Has It not happened that despite
the existence of the law guaranteeing, ab
solute freedom of the press, liberal Cuban
editors have, for the writing of a simple
editorial regarded by that government as
obnoxious, been compelled to submit to a
drum-head court-martial'.' Has it not hap.
pi ned that editors have been arrested and
deported by the captain general? The
government interferes In all public meet,
lugs. llovernment officers me present
with full authority to close the meeting
and all manner of pretexts are found by
which the meetings are summarily closed.
For example a meeting was held In a
building which had been used for public
purposes for years. I'p to the clay of the
meeting the building was regarded ns per
fectly safe ati'l sound, but during the
meeting to which the Spanish governme nt
objected nn engineer in the employ of the
Spanish government declared the building
unsound and in clanger or collapsing at
any moment. The officer in charge there
upon ordered the gathering to disperse.
And so on through the list. At every
point Weyler is refuted nnd shown to
be a special ndvocate who suppresses
and distorts facts, or as one is more
Inclined to put it, u deliberate and
wilful liar. The sympathy of the Fnl
te.l States was with Cuba before, but It
will be strengthened by this muslerly
unmasking of the Spanish eaplaln
getiernl in bis characteristic effort to
falsify the records.
Report has It that it cost W. K. Yan
derbllt $15,000,000 lo have his daugh

If he paid that he got cheated.
For Secretary of State.
According to Walter Wcllman the
most difficult problem which President
elect McKlnley hns to solve In the for
mation of his ministry is to find a man
suitable In every way for the state
department portfolio. "Jt Is," says he,
"a remarkable fact that there Is not in
tlie lEcpuhlican party today one man
who meets all the requirements of this
post. According to the tradition, an
Incoming president should choose for
his secretary of foreign affairs the most
conspicuous, or at lenst one of the
most conspicuous of his rivals for the
nomination. If this tradition be not
followed, then the choice should alight
upon a party leader of undoubted abil
ity nnd prominent service. In addition
to these requirements the secretary of
state should be a man who has had
contact with diplomacy nnd executive
work, who knows international law nnd
the history of nations, and who is In
learning. In brain power. In tact, in
force of character and In judgment in
the front rank of public men. Again,
he should have a certain temperamen
tal fitness for the work nnd for tlie
modt intimate relations with his chief.
It Is not enough that he be a man of
prominence and ability he must be
fitted to work side by side, tlay by day,
with the president himself, without
danger of friction or Jealousy. Where
In the ranks of the leading Republicans
today w ill President -elect Mc Kinky
find such a man?"
Mr. Wellmnn passes' the eligible
names In review Harrison. Reed,
Sherman and Allison and finds some
fatal fault In each. Harrison, he
thinks, is too frigid and too prone to
jealousy to sustain with the new presi
dent thut personal as well as official
Intimacy whb-h the position demands.
Keed Is loo rugged, too outspoken, too
Undiplomatic. Sherman Is too old and
Allison too Inexperienced In matters of
International concern. The result Is
that Mr. Wcllraun Ih wis every possi
bility over save ex-President Andrew j
P. YVliite. and ex-Secretary of the Navy
ti. I- Tvney. We think he ie somewhat
tiffin. Hfeil til hix .iKMiOfit. of ..v-lVest-
dent Harrison. The suggestion of his
name in connection with the state port
folio still commends Itself to us as
emlMidylng the one bit a! solution of the
wluilc proliltui; but If he shall persist
in his declination to re-enter public
life, there remains the name of Sen
ator Cushmnn K. Davis, of Minnesota,
a robust und virile American, who has
ni.icle diplomacy a life-study und who
wouKl measure up to the highest re
quiri monts of the so-called "premier
ship" of the cabinet.
The objection to Mr. White is that
he Is by temperament too excitable.
It i.-, doubtful if be could endure the
phyyii-al strain which the position
would Impofe. Kx-Secretary Tracy
woul I do; those who know him best
claim that his full stature has not yet
dawned upon the public mind.
The engineer nf tlie government
building ut Denver, William It. Morley,
who lias Just been bounced for "per
nicious political activity." once resided
in liufYiilo and claims to have brought
Crnvor Cleveland out In politics. If
that was his activity, it certainly was
pernicious. Hut doesn't Morley's claim
Infringe on Colonel K. 11. Puller's
lights?
The one interesting feature of Secre
tary t' Internal Affairs Latta's annu
al r-.-port is Its showing that the capl
tulizution of the steam railroads in
Peiinsj Ivanla Is nearly one-fifth of the
entire stock capitalization of the rail
ways of the country. Forty-nine per
cent, of the Pennsylvania stock Is dividend-paying,
whereas In the Fnited
States ut laig only 29 per cent. Is,
Tiuly, this is a great state.

Jtisf a Word op Two
of Casual Mention
Concerning the evidence of Sam Hudson,
one or the invent proprietors of the
Seranton Times, before the senatorial In.
vestigators la Philadelphia yesterday a
dispatch says: "When the senatorial In
vestigators resumed their Inquiry into th
governmental una political affairs II wa
with Sam Hudson, the defeated candid He
for congress in the Third district of tho
Free Silver pnxty, on the witness stand.
Mr. Hudson has made n complete analysis
of the vole cast In a large number of the
election divisions, unci, according to state ¬
ments made by him to his friends, an air
ing of the ligures in detail will show rather
startling results. In fact, .Mr. Hudson
does lint hesitate to express the opinion
riiat the votes in many of the divisions as
shown by the returns were east ufler the
closing of the polls, ami not by the citi
zens during the rcgnli.r anil legal Hoars
prescribed for holding the election, and
tills tact, he says, will become apparent as
the liuimry proceeds. Cgly stories of po
lice activity and Interference with tlin
election in the wards or the Third district
have already been made public through
the medium of the senatorial comnil?!..'.'
but it is asserted that these will pule into
comparative liisignltleaiicc before some of
the tales of the operations of the blue
coats, which will be related by ex-l'andi-
date Hudson when he unfolds Ids exteii
slve budget of information. The frier. Is
of Mr. Hudson iirgiie that the develop.
meat of the cdst beforp this committee
will alii the contest against Congressman
elect .MeAleer, ami that the evidence
which will be brought out today will be
likely to exert on Influence on the rc xt
congress, even though It will bo such a
strong Itetuih.iean and sound money io ly
that it will prevail upon the members to
appoint a committee to go Into the met its
of the contest and make a rigid investi
gation." Sam always was adept la raising
a breeze.
The Thanksgiving Hay servlco at the
Ninth street Itaptlsi church, Cincinnati
the church of which I lev. Warren 15. Par.
trldgc Is the pastor was unique In re
spect of the decorations. Says the Trib
une of that idly: "The pulpit plat form
was beautifully decorated with sheaves
of grain and shocks of corn, sent by ex
press Into the city for this purpose. ANo
milts and vegetable, and groceries w.-e
heaped up in profusion. The effect was
like ii great harvest home festival. The
Uoys' lirigade were present in large num
bers In their uniforms. The church has
live line companies. The balconies were
tilled with the girls of the seven Industrial
schools and Kitchen Carden. Thev were
Iresseil in white, and decorated with the
olors of the different stations. Their
singing was an Inspiration." Hut this wis
not all. "In the afternoon," the account
adds, "hundreds of poor peoide wele
given large baskets of provisions for a
bountiful Thanksgiving. The young
people went out two by two and carried
these good things to the destitute fami
lies." Jn his diseouta. Kev. Mr. Partridge
gave n graphic statistical summary of
America's resources, and contrasted the
high average welfare of the American
people with the misfortunes of the Inha
bitant of many other lands. Altogether,
it was a notalde servic e unci one that tes
tified clocpi. nlly to the virility and practi
cality of .Mr. Purtildge's pastorate.
A novel way out of the postolllce prob
lem Is suggested tiy president Proctor, of
the Cnited States Civil Service commis
sion, but it will hardly commend Itself to
the political workers of either party.
Whcnovi'r there Is a vacancy he proposes
that eve ry patron of the office be asked
to till out und sign a blank edition ad
dressed to the' postmaste r-general, and
setting forth, lirst, the d'staiue of his
residence from tlie potollice; second, the
iiverag- number of le tte rs be Is in then
habit of receiving tier week; thirl, the
number of newspapers hi!- takes, and.
finally, the name of the man he prefers for
postmaster. 1 his would tie equivalent to
nn election, and wncld give the patrons
of the "tiler the privilege, us well as the
ri'Sponsibilty of selecting their postmas
ter. If he turned out to bp a bad or inef
tlclent man it would be the ir fault, but :l
would, Mr. P'oetor thinks, remove the
mail service from polities.
Editor James P. Taylor, of th? Montrose
I!e publican, Is one of the nrt enthusiastic
tishermn In this section of the state, nnd
takes great interest In the preservation
of fish In our moiinain streams. l-Mitnr
Taylor has on many occasion distribute,!
trout fry. procured of the fish commis
sioner. In the Susquehanna brooks, and he
also assisted In the experiments with land-
loeke'd salmon In the lakes In the vicinity
of Montrose. Kclltor Taylor hns landed
some of the llnest specimens of hass that
swim In northeastern Pennsylvania
wute-rs. and like the average disciple id
Isauk Walton can always relate a good
llsli story at n moment's notice.
Another rite of 21 cents a ton In the
price of anthracite is expected soon. The
restriction of production practiccel during
the past few months has permltleel sur

believed that this year's production will
approximate to 4:Mio.iiuo tons as against
IMrd. 44. tons Inst year. If this forecast
Is verified the t-aele will begin the new
yearln good shape and ought to have a
recurrence of its old-time prosperity.
