The reader who Is mindful of tills fact can acknowledge It this mot nlnir with piotlt to himself by purchasing of the carrier n copy of The Tilbune Political Hand l)ook for the New Year, a publication easily worth the price charged for It. In this way the cat tier leeches the money protlt and the reader begins 1S97 with a flist-class bat gain. The New Year. It Is within the powei of the people of this countty, without tefeietice to the past, to make the New Year a succe&s. They can do It If they will: Voik haul. Sav e money. lJay their debts. Pationl7o home Industries. Pay a living wage to labor. Mind their own business. Keep up courage In Ante: lean Insti tutions: and JJehave themselves genet alb. Good t evolutions In the main are wotthlfss at this particular time be-causl- thev are not foitued fcerlously; but theie is no irason why the suffer ets lroin the past three jents of com- metclal dcptesslon should not take this npptopilate oppoitunlty to pull togeth er foi good times. It Is Indeed a con summation devoutly to he wished. It looks as though some one had been tin owing snow on Uncle John "Wana maker's stock of pjioteehnlcs. As Seen from Afar.

Qua j. Thete Is also a recognition of an oleintnt of ttuth In the asset tlon that tho business man in politics has not alwajb been a putlfjlng and elevat ing Inlluence. The tuiiuptlon of legls latots b viie agents of railwas and cotporatlons like the Statnlaid Oil com pany Is an old stor The fact Is that it Is Just ns necessaiy In this connec tion to ask 'What sort of business?' as to ask 'What sou of politics?' To appl to public affalth the otdti, sj s tetn, economy and good seiibe of a well managed business concern is of coutso an excellent thing. To allow the ma chlnerj of government to he used to fin ther the Intel ests of a ptlvate busi ness is as gteat an evil as to allow that machine!' to be manipulated by heelets. And Mt Quay is quite tight in saving that it Is Just as mischievous to marshal the classes against tho musses us to teveise the process." New light Is shed on Senutoi Quay's position by the disclosures In the Van Valkenburg case llete, If sworn accusation Is ttue, we have tho chameleon charactet of the Wanamak er Uuslness Men's league levealed with diainatlc effect now piesentlng the coloi of ii combination of self-ad-eitlbed godliness, without guile and without teptach; and speedily changing Into a headquatteis for the most un- ulusliing btlbety. "Miss Nnncjs" to use Mi Van Valkenbutg's exptesslve designation become on due occasion haidened boodleis, equally jeady to rig up a scandal cotps with which to fool the chinch people or to dicker and plot with the llngsters, crooks and lulllans And all this Is done unilei the name and title of "the business man In poli tics." It Is almost enough to make decency vomit. If Mi. Van Valkenbuig profits by recent experience ho vv 111 make some good tesolutlons today. Justly Noted. In the opinion of Hon. A. B. Cornell, as exptessed' In the January Totutn "the ptlmaiy and upparentCy the most piollllc cause of out piesetit political Instability is believed to nulde in our too frequently recurring presidential elections. Longer continued petlods of imlnteirputed business tranquility are extiemely desirable, and indeed Indis pensable, for the safe development of a dlvetslfled industilal piosjtuss. These conditions can be securely attained only by incieased exemption fiom unneces saty political agitation. This desirable result can be ptomoted -with the gteat est certainty by extending the length of the presidential term. The llrst and last veais of every tuttlonal admlnls ttatlon aie naturally seasons of politi cal activity: so that, tinder a tcim of lour ears, baiely two- years of quiet can be expected If Che piesldentlal term were lengthened to six yeais, wo might fairly anticipate at least four ears of continuous exemption from po litical suite. The longe'i Intervals of political tranquility between the piesl dentlal campaigns could not fall to bo promotive of conditions favorable to the conservative development of busi ness enteipilse In all Uepai tniontB of Industrial activity. "Supposing tno presidential term toljo lengthened to six years; as liereln pro posed, members of the liou.se of lepre sentatlves should be elected for a period of thtee yeais. Thus there would be, as at present, two full termw of con gress within the limit o each presiden tial term. The olllclal service of each new congtess slioukl uJso be made to commence wltltln u reasonable time of the election of the ineuiliets, Instead of being postponed, for the Hist regulur session, for nvore thuu a. year following the election, as Is now the case. Thus, the voice of the people, n epiesed through their bnllots, would become po tent, and receive trloro prompt and con siderate attention. The practice of per mitting the old congtess to conduct tho legislation of the country for a whole year after the election of tholr sucess ots Is it relic of eaily days which nhoulil speedily bo dispensed with." There Is unquestionably a gieat deal of Justice In these obspivatlons If at any point they err It Is In suggesting a three-year congtoslonul tetni. The more fieiiuontly the people can havo a say In legislation the bettor. Hut It Is not desirable In their behalf to have business toin to pieces every quadten- nlutn by piesldenllul elections. Mil lions In money unci untold mlsety could be spated If the piesldentlal term wete lengthened to slv eais Wes congi ululate the Times on Its an nual. It Is small but t Is ptetty and also artistic.

A Van Valkenbuig, manager of the Wan amaker senatorial hetidquaiters, and as bearing especially upon his plea of In nocence to which full publicity was accotded In esteida's Tilbune, we publish toda a summaiy of a poitlon of the evidence now In the hands ot the prosecution. In due time other testl moti will appeal, foi It Is the intention of tho gentlemen who have this ptose cutlon In hand to push it to a conclu sion, inespectlve of the tesult of the pending senatorial campaign It will edify such citizens of Penn slvanlaas have been Impressed by the pious unction of the Hon John Wana maket to pet use this documentary evi dence chaiglng him with being tho dl tectlng head of a vast conspiracy to debauch the members-elect of the next leglslatuie and buy political piefeiment In the same Job-lot manner that he Is accustomed to buy waies foi his stoies It wilt be pet eels cd, If this testimony Is trustworthy, that his political ngtnts the men who are chaiged with having done his and Ml.

In the case of Dt. N. C. Mac key, of the Thlid Lackawanna dls ttlct, it should be tald that he acted under advice of local ftlendb fot the purpose of exposing the Wunamaker methods, but without being aw ate, at the time, that the supposed emlssaty of Wanamaker was In fact working also tow aid the same end. Concerning Kopiehontatlve-elect Kenolds of Cai bondale, It deseives to be said that up on two occasions he t of used offeis of $500 made by a lieutenant fiom the Wanamaker camp, declining to have an thing whatevei to do with such a tpe of politics. The other Lacka wanna membei -elect mentioned else where Iieptesentatlv e Parr will be entitled to a hearing In defense. In all, the nairatlve Is lnstuictlvo leading, showing as it does some poli tics fiom an Inside standpoint. Unless it can be successfully conttovprted, It will undoubtedly dispose of the Hon. John Wanumaker. Mr. Quay should give a bill of particu lars of his discovei of the attempt to "purchase" Don Camei oil's seat In the senate. Philadelphia Bulletin. You will get one, never fear. The facts set fotth elsewheie aftoid a foie taste. An Interesting Case. The case ot John McLean, which was biou;ht to light at n meeting of the Jcimn school boatd this week, If put sued to the end may have the effect of testing the constitutionality of cet luiii school laws that In the opinion of many Infilnge upon the rights of Amei Ican citizens genet ally. Mi. McLean is father of a boy under thliteen eais of age whom he would like to send to the public schools piovlded the school boaid would admit the lad without In sisting upon the ouleal ot vaccination. The boy was vaccinated eight yeats ago, and the father does not think an otlict application of the vaccine matter is necessar The school law sas that child) en shall bo vaccinated once eveiy seven eais, and the dliectois of Jei m n decline to admit the pupil unless the piovlslons of the net of leglslatuie havo been compiled with. Mi. McLean refuses to send the boy to school on these conditions and now becomes liable to prosecution under the compulsuiy education law 'ihe case offeis n vast amount of fooil foi lellectlon as to Its bearing upon civil rights As tip years go by theie Is a perceptible luciease In the class of citi zens who cherish n lepugnnnee to wu -dilution, who believe that disease more tenlble than small-pox is otten dis seminated In the aeinib of the vaccine bcab or quill This belief Is gaining ground not In localities of Ignorance but among the most enlightened ami pio giesslve. While all the phases of the Jeiinjn case may not appear upon tho surface, It Is evident to the tali- minded that the Individual who objects to the pioccrs of grafting that Is liable to In oculato tho victim with various dlsoi dcrs In tho cutegui ot blood diseases, is entitled to some consideration. In view of the facts In the enso It seems safe to venluio the guess that u su pteme couit test would furnish some means of escape for the citizen who Is wedged In between the vaccination and compulsory education laws. It Is noticeable that the leccnt bank ing fallutes, which havo in some In stances awakened the cioalc ot Demo cratic calamity howleis, havo all been confined to tho West and Houth, whore other than business lntluences may have bun at woik to rtcate an Impies slon that thine nte davs of panic It Is probable that tho banking Interests unci bURlntss Intel ests generally wete nevet In bettet or molt pionilslng condition thin today, und It Is only In Isolated cusen In thf West that banking concerns could bo foiccd to close thelt doors even temporal 11 foj sudden demands for de posited cash Aftei all, the action of William Wal dotf Astor In InkliiL' tho oath ol nllc glance to the queen of llngland, Is mote manly than that or Amoi leans who stilve to be Ihigllsh while enjoy ing the tights and llbcitlcs ot citizens ot the United Stntcs, The fact that ex-Queen Lilly Domlnls of Unwall spends the gtcalei portion of hci time hiding from icpoiteis lends to the suspldon that Lilly may contem plate csfaiolng a lolo In light opera.
