Wnnamakerism Up to Date.
Of all the untrue assertions which
have lcen called forth by the pending
contest for a United States scnatorshlp
in this state the falsest Is the
statement that those who op
pose John Wunamaker do so in
a spirit of antagonism to religion. It
Is true that Mr. Wanamaker has so
adroitly traded on his reputation for
fane ttty that many religious citizens ac
cept him at hia own valuation and look
upon opposition to him as being equiv
alent to irreverence. Hut when the
factsastohlsrecent political operations
shall be fully established and one by
one they are coming to the surface
it will become plain to men of clear
judgment thut religion can receive no
better service than to be relieved of
such dissembling champions.
llr. Wanamaker has said on different
occasions that he had not spent and
would not spend a cent In the senator
ial contest corruptly. Yet It is in evi
dence that lieutenants bearing his cre
dentials have offered billies right and
left, in such prolusion as to suggest
nioie than an Innocent connection be
tween them and the Wanamaker mil
lions. Since the proof of their nefarious
work has been put before the people,
there has been no sign of repudiation
or disclaimer from Mr. Wanamaker,
but, on tile other hand, he Is about to
bilk arms with them in a grand inarch
to Hnrrlsburg, with the avowed pur
pose of capturing the legislature with
oil that that phrase implies.
Asked to explain tile significant at
titude of the newspapers In which he
udvertises, Mr. Wanamaker promptly
grows sporty and offers n thousand
dollars to charity for proof that he
has ever sought to muzzle the press.
Yet all this time Senator Kaufl'man,
of Lancaster county. Wanamaker's
right hand helper In the senatorial con
test, and billed to lie one of the front
row participants In the forthcoming
udvance on the state capital, stands
publicly convicted on his own confes
sion of having bought the Insertion
in many papers of Wananiakerish edi
torials at from $.1 to $23 apiece.
Finally, when emissaries in his in
terest are hauled up in court charged
with circulating anonymous scandal
ngalast his rival for senatorial honors,
this man who poses as an exemplar of
the Christian virtues says no word
In disapproval of their contemptible
work; lilts no voice of protest
against the attempted conversion of
church organizations by false rep
resentations Into mechanisms for
the forwarding of his political
ambitions; and even has the hardihood
to arrange to speak In public as the
representative of the morality of the
commonwealth. F.xposure of shani Is
an unpleasant duty, but Wanamaker
lsni has rendered Its performance nec
essary. The recent street-car strike at lios
ton, on tile day before Christmas, when
Interruption of the facilities for travel
was most kneenly felt by the public,
was not only, If the facts are correctly
set forth, without cause but was also ac
tually vicious. Still, wedoubtlf the com
pany olllclals, after the men saw their
mistake and repented of It, wilt mend
matters by taking the men back only
to discharge them by degrees as public
opinion cools down. The best way to
get along in this world, in all lines of
business, is to live and let live.
Forecasting the Next Cabinet.
According to Walter Wcllman, whose
predictions heretofore have proved more
thun ordinarily uccurat,e, the cabinet
which Major McKinley has selected In
his own mind, subject to change
through unforeseen contingencies, Is
as follows, the secretaryship of the in
terior not yet having been decided up
on: Secretary of State-JOIIX SllEItMAX,
of Ohio.
Secretary of the Treasury NELSON
1)1. SULKY, of Maine.
Secretary of Wor EX-GOVKKXOR
WILLIAM It. MEKKIAM, of Minnesota.
Secretary of the Navy COHNEL1L S N.
ULISS, of New York.
Attorney Oeneral NATHAN GOFF, of
West Virginia.
.--Vost master General HEXRY C
PAYNE, of Wisconsin.
Secretary of Agriculture JUDGE WAY
MIRE, of California.
With the exception of the last one.
every name on this list Is well known
for ability and experience in public
affairs, for high personal character and
for meritorious party service. Judge
Waymire Is said by his more intimate
acquaintances and Indorsers to be fully
qualified In each of these respects for
cabinet honors, but he Is not widely
known.
Unless unexpected emergencies shall
arise during the next four years, the
cabinet departments upon which will
fall the most exacting demands will be
the state and treasury secretaryships
and the attorney generalship. While
opportunities for brilliant service will
not be lacking In each of the other de
partments, the success or failure of the
McKinley administration will. In the
ordinary course of events, be largely
determined by the quality of work di
rected to be done In these three office.
The generally conceded assignment of
Chairman Olngley of thp house wuys
and means committee to the secretary
ship of the treasury Is received with
such manifest public favor as to re
quire little to be said in explanation
of the choice. Mr. Dingley is a man
very much after the president-elect's
osvn heart honest, studious, conscien
tious and patient; not given to bitter
prejudices, but firm in line of duty and
high-minded In political habits and am
bitions. He has opponents, but not
enemies; he would as the successor of
Mr. Carlisle not only prove an able
and conscientious finance minister along
Republican lines of policy, but also n
genuine helper to his chief and a strong I
link of peace between naturally con
flicting party elements.
It has been the wish of many lVnn
HAivunlnns that the attorney general
ship mlghtj.be proffered to and accepted
by J. Uny Ilrown, of Lancaster. Mr
llrown, to be sure, has not expressed
nor encouraged such expectations him
self; but those wlio are aware of
his very unusual ability In directions
which point to thut position as offering
the largest scope und Incentive have
nevertheless cherished the hope of his
appointment. I'.ut If the choice of the
president-elect should full Instead on
hisotbcrfrlend and long-time colleague.
Judge Nathan lloff. there will be no one
who could question either the political
litness of the selection or the power of
Judge ('.off himself to do effective and
aggressive public service.
We come, now, to the most Important
position within the bestowal of our
presidents; a place which has in recent
years risen to a plane of Importune.
second, perhaps, only to one other sim
ilar position in civilization tin? secre
taryship of state. It may be thut at
this time a larger weight of responsi
bility rests upon the man who super
vises the diplomatic conduct of Ureal
Britain's foreign affairs than presses
upon the chief cabinet olllcer ut Wash
ington; but at the present rate of
changes in international politics it may
not be long before the relative rank wlil
be reversed.
There is reason to believe that Major
McKinley has found more dllilculty in
tilling this position satisfactorily than
any other, or than all the otheis, in his
cabinet. The review of Its require
meiits, which we reproduce els-'wiicn
on this page from the Philadelphia
Tress, will suggest by he has weighed
the problem carefully and with recur
ring anxiety. In many respects Senator
Sherman is I lie ablest statesman in the
nation, us he is also the most eminent.
Hut ills special Held of study and
uchievenn ut has bud to do with finances
rather than with the broad prob
lems of diplomacy. Only within very
recent years has he directed close atten
tion to foreign affairs. He has, beyond
all question, the ability and the ex
perience to make a great state secre
tary, provided also ho has the physical
strength and the diplomatic tempera
ment. If there were now within cull a
man like the Ulalne of tssn.how It would
simplify matters both for the president
elect and for the nation!
The courts have Just canceled an
ordinance passed in Kansas City to fine
non-voters at municipal elections. Hut
the good people who. by abstaining
from the pulls, enable shysters to tri
umph will get mulcted quite as ef
fectually, though not so directly, us If
that ordinance had been pronounced
valid.
One-Han Power.
It is significant of the tendency of
democratic government to transform
itself into one-man uower that in the
draft of the proposed charter for Great
er New York, which Is now under dis
cussion in the neighboring slate, au
thority is centralized in the oflice of the
mayor. That olllclal Is to have power
to appoint all the administrative and
executive olllcers of the city except the
comptroller, who Is rendered elective
by the people every four years, so that
the treasury and linances will constant
ly be in the hands of an independent
department. The mayor Is to have su
pervisory control over the various de
partments, and an enlarged veto power
upon the nets of the municipal assem
bly. His patronage and his power ore
so great that he will in these particu
lars be a dlirnilary second only in Im
portance to the governor of the state
or the president of the United Stutes.
The mayor Is to be given absolute pow
er to remove at will every administra
tive olllcer, irrespective of the pre
scribed term of oflice, during the llrst
six months of his administration. Af
ter that he can make removals only on
charges, with the approval of the gov
ernor. The mayor's power, under this chnr
tcr, In fact covers almost every con
ceivable branch of municlnal govern
ment save finances. In addition to his
other prerogatives he appoints the cen
tral board of education, which has
charge of all school property and equip
ment in the community of 3,000,000 souls
embraced within the proposed limits of
Greater New York, as well as the live
sectional boards whic h supervise the
educatlotinl conduct of the schools. Ho
will consequently have greater prob
lems to deal with, and ones further out
reaching In their ultimate consequen
ces, than came before the first presi
dent of the United States. Well may
the Hon. Thomas Collier I'latt look for
ward with satisfaction to the time
when, from behind the scenes, he or
some t lever man of similar talents will
pull the strings" which will operate this
massive mechanism of municipal au
thority, while in national politics he is
fortititd in the legislature and execu
tive mansion at Albany and has a title
in his own name to a United States
senatorshlp at Washington, with the
prospect of ultimately naming his own
colleague.
There w ill, of course, be the usual
outcry against such a focusing of re
sponsibility. We shall hear a good deal
about "bosses" and "czar.." Hut thos
who have studied history will be well
satisf.ed to see the municipal govern
ment nl America's foremost city so ar
ranged that when the taxpajers thereof
neglect to vote into power n lit can
didate for mayor, they may themselves
shoulder Ihe blame and suffer the con
sequences. The fire which destroyed St. Stephen's
Episcopal church in WHkes-Harre on
Christmas morning could probably
have been checked with slight loss
when the fire companies first reached
the scene had the water plugs not been
frozen. As it was, the firemen had to
wait several hours before they could
get water in sufficient quantity to
make an Impression on the tlames. It
is to be hoped that this-public lesson
will not be lost.
Perhaps the most sensible thing yet
elicited during the Cuban controversy
Is the decision of Senator-elect Money,
of Mississippi, now a member of the
house committee on foreign affairs, to
visit Cuba, Interview Weyler. ask for
an escort and flag of truce to enable
him to reach the Interior and hold In
tercourse with the Insurgents, and thus
to gain by personal Inquiry accurate
knowledge of the situation of affairs
in thai island. The attempt should
have been made fully a year ugo, by
the executive, to dispatch a commis
sion to Cuba for this very purpjse,
Then there would have been something
substantial in way of Information on
which to La.se further uction in the
premises.
Nathan Straus, the New York phil
anthropist, has reopened his coal yards
for the poor, which give them the op
portunity to purchase coal In small
uniounts at cost. Any doctor practicing
among the destitute of New York city
can write an order on a prescription
blank for a patient and It will be good
for free coal. It Is not easy to Imagine
a more helpful practical charity than
this.
Several hundred good columns of
American newspaper space have lately
been occupied with stories of how tin:
Princess of Chlmuy, who was formerly
Clara Ward, of Detroit, ran off with a
gypsy. Now that it is clearly under
stood that she has done this and that
the gypsy is willing, suppose we give
the subject u rest.
Kx-Oueen LUIoukalani sal's she
doesn't want her crown restored and
Is confident that Hawaii will be unnex
ed to the United States; but she would
like a nice, plump pension. No doubt
she would; but liking and getting are
vastly different things.
The New York press has much to
say concerning a woman . and her
daughter who have Just walked all the
way from San Francisco to Gotham.
The feat certainly was a curious one
liut in the llrst uluce, was there any
sense In uudcrtakiuu: It?
If ever the courts pass on the claim
of the Jamestown, N. Y., woman that
an itinerant hypnotist mesmerized her
into a mai l kmc without her knowl
edge or consent, it Is a safe guess that
they will make short work of it.
Authorized denial Is made of the re
port that Mark Hanna is sick. He will
continue to invest the other side with
the real symptoms of illness.
THE SECRETARY OF STATE
From the Philadelphia Press.
The progress of events has brought tho
I niteu Stales to u place where its for.
elgn affairs are of the llrst importance,
This nation has become one of the great
powers of the world, not merely In its
intrinsic strength, nut In Its relation to
other powers and to the development of
'(,'lvillzatlon. There have been special
periods of our history like the civil wur
when the delicacy anil danger of our situ
ation required a great secretary, like Sew-
Hi'il. There has ulways been in the con
duel of our affairs the opportunity for a
fertile an,l masterful statesman, like
Webster or Marey or Itlaine, to make a
strong Impression, lint during much of
our history, with our traditional policy of
noil-interference and with the obligations
and opportunities of oar mission not fully
realized, it has lu'cn safe to go along with
a second-rate commonplace secretary,
like Clayton or Frellnghuysen,
This, however. Is no longer true. The
world Is moving forward in Its Inter
course. Nations ore becoming more close.
ly associated and mutually dependent.
The modern forces are bringing them
Into more intimate communion nnd deal'
ing. The extension of trade, the devel
opment of commerce, the rivalry of mar
kets, the growth of navies, the need of
naval stations and of outlying protective
bulwarks these and many olher lull
cnees are compelling all the great pow
ers to be more watchful and nlert. While
we adhere as far as practicable to our
traditional policy, we cannot escape these
currents and necessities. This govern
ment holds the primacy of the American
continent with all the obligations it In
vnlves. We are bound to exercise a dom
inant Influence, and assert a dominant
voice. In the questions which are con
stantly arising Involving the integrity
and destiny of AmerUnii states, we are
constrained from the very nature of our
position to exercise u paramount author
ity. All this lifts our foreign affairs to
capital rank. We have seen how great a
part they have played under the present
administration; and we have seen
difference between feeble and incapable
management on Ihe one hand, and strong
and competent management on the other,
In the signal contrast between Gresham
and olney. Under the former the nation
wiUU-ssed rentel blunders. actual
losses and constant humiliation. Under
Ihe latter a virile nnd forceful direction,
always robust thoimh sometimes lacking
in tact, has broiiuht increased national
dignity, prestige and power.
Much, Indeed, depends on the presi
dent himself. Major McKinley has the
experience, sobriety nnd unfailing good
sense which are needed In the supreme
ami responsible direction. Tut very much
depends also on the character and qunl-
Ity of the secretary. Under Mr. Cleve
land we have had both good and ha I
administration of foreign affairs, depend
ent on the mental and moral qualifications
of the head of the state department.
All these considerations emphasise the
Importance of a wise selection. The in
quiry must be directed not merely to the
public standing nnd Intellectual equip
ment of the man but to his temperamental
organization. The secretary should pre
ferably lie n party leader of the hlgh"st
rank. Mr. olney has In the main been
a success. thom;h he had no public train,
lug and v.ns In no sense a party chief
tain. Hut lm is what Ihe Emperor Alex
ander called a beneficlent despotism "a
happr accident." It was an experiment
which In this case turned out well, but
which on another trial might prove very
unfortunate. The secretary who has the
prestige of a career and of high represen
tative position will start with n grent
advantage. Then he should have nptitulo
and training for lids particular service.
must cope with the oldest men o'
other nations, and he needs not only amide
knowledge but alertness nnd dexterity
In the broad Held of national negotiation
and opportunity. He should have the
rinht temperament and the riht concep
tion of our national mission, the pru
dence which Is not precipitate nud the
progre.'slvenrss which meets new situa
tions, the firmness which can hold fast
and the flexibility which can adapt Itself
to changing requirements. There Is no
place where personal attributes as Well

Pittsburg Commercial-Gazette.
In response to the demands of local mer
chants for fairer play, and following so
cial raids of traveling fakirs on local busi
ness, some towns have recently passed or
dinances which Impose heavy license fcs
on transient dealers. It is proper that this
should be done. The local merchants pay
a license or tax both If they are property
owners and when any public enterprises
or charities are proposed the merchants
are always the first ones called upon to
subscribe. It is not fair that, for a mere,
ly nominal license fee, peripatetic fakirs,
who have no Interest In a town except to
ftteee all the lambs to be found In It as
quickly as possible and clear out, should
be permitted by license to work the public
so easily. Hut there is another phase of
the question which Is also to bp borne In
mind. These fakirs do not capture any
lambs by force. The lamb', led on by the
old seductive salt represeni.il In brash,
errdullty anil the hope of getting some
thing for nothing, press forward volun-
tarlly to thy shearing racks with their
fleeces. Whether the transients be dealers
in shoddy, snide Jewelry, bogus bankrupt
cies, gold bricks or any of the rest of the
stuinlard iamb-catching specialties, they
sell nothing which somebody does not buy.
There can be no sale without a purchase,
no catching of suckers without suckers to
catch. .Most of the combinations In trade
ugalust which people complain have been
built up by the people who have permit
ted themselves to be fooled by the buit
of cut prices. It Is the same with people
who allow themselves to be buncoed by
the wandering sharps, ordinances which
serve to shut out these sharps are good
things, but the complete remedy is in the
sufficient growth of common sense to en
able people not to be impose ! upon by
I hem. .Meanwhile the best thing local
dealers can do to hold and enlarge their
trade is to continue to deserve It, and to
discourage any tendency among their
number to palm off on custuniers goo-Is
which are made no better by being sold
b them than by the nomadic fakirs.

From the Philadelphia Times.
The reproach upon the bar of Pennsyl
vania Is not so much upon Its want of legal
knowledKc or general equipment In prac
ticing the profession as upon the methods
which have become disgracefully common
by a number of the members of the bar of
admitted ability, und claiming respecta
bility In their liiuh calling who. as sworn
olllcers of the courts, habitually bring n -proach
upon the administration of Justh-e,
ami make it. measurably at least, a mutter
of baiter and trade. No convention of
judges or of the bar can correct those
evils by resolution fixing u high standurd
of attainments for adpiisslon to the pro
fession. This stain thut affects alike the
legal profession nnd the administration of
Justice in Pennsylvania, is wholly the re
sult of the tolerance on the part of the
Judges In permitting the violation of
sacred obligations by an attorney and the
prostitution of his power to the perversion
of Justice In her own sanctuary..
True, these wrongs are seldom clearly
presented to judges when sitting in court,
but no such practices can be habitual
without coming to the knowledge of the
judges themselves, and they should be
prompt and resolute In correcting them.
The lawyer Is us ktilemuly sworn to per
form his duties with fidelity, not only to
his client, but to Justice, as Is the Judge
himself, and the lawyer who asks for an
unjust judgment, knowing It to be so, !s
perjured alike in law and morals. That
there has been a gradual decadence of the
bar of Pennsylvania In this regard will
not be disputed by any Intelligent observer
of the general administration of Justice,
but it Is wholly the fault of the Judges in
tolerating what they know tithcaii assault
upon Justice and u degradation alike of
the profession und of the courts.

Harrisburg Letter, Pittsburg Dispatch.
The prediction Is conlldently made here
that Wanamaker's nuine will not be pre
sented to the caucus. It Is quite certain
that If the millionaire merchant become
awure of the muss of evidence that i:s
accumulated in regard to the operation
of his agents, little of which is yet known
to the public, he would hesitate to In
vite the criticism of which he will un
doubtedly be made the target when mat
ters grow red hot at Harrlsbiirg.
It Is asserted by one eminent legal gen
t'cniau who hns been Informed In a some
what specific manner of the character
of this Information that if it were pos
sible for the great merchant to compass

would easily be made which would be an
