A Sure Recipe for Local Prosperity.
"With "moving day" nlpli It seems not
inopportune to sup;se!"t to Scrantonlnns
''uutuinplatlnt; ft cliuiiKe of resldeneo
uiul liuturnlly some additions to their
stock of furniture-, carpets, etc., that
tht? proper plnre to buy these ai tides
of merchandise Is in some of the many
excellent stores of Seranton and not In
New York or Philadelphia. It Is un
old story, this penchant of the well-to-do
iSerantonlan for out-of-town
stores, and It may lie that correction
of It Is out of the question; yet we can
not disbelieve that much of this for
eign buying: Is the result wholly of
thoughtless Ijablt which may by argu
ment be overcome.
A few days ago announcement was
made of the closing throtiu.li financial
embarrassment of one of the ieudluir
carpet and drapery stores of Bcruuton.
The oimiulzer of this firm bus been
for many years a respected and honorable-
merchant In this city, and when
Ills reverso was announced a merely
temporary one, we trust we hundred
of a competitor In that Hue of trade
how he accounted for It. The reiily
was "Ovoi competition, duo to the fact
that niuo-tenths of the wealthier citi
zens of Krranton do their shopping1 in
New York." If tiuo in this one Instance,
may we not safely assume that foreign
buying Is a large cause of depression
in other local lines of business as well'.'
I'liou the occasion of a recent visit
to New Yolk not, however, for the
purposo of snirehaslng what .could be
secured quite as reasonably In Scran
ton a representative of The Tilbune
witnessed In one hotel the registration
of eighteen prominent Scrantonians,
who, with their wives, had Journeyed
to the metropolis "to do their spring
buying." These citizens were not pur
chasing supplies for stores; they were
buying individual household supplies,
such as clothing, carpets, furniture,
etc. One of the paity hud been in
the city three days, paying at least
$10 a. day for hotel accommodations
and perhaps as much more for mis
cellaneous expenses. Ills uuiohases
cost well Into the hundreds.
Any one with a fondness for mathe
matics who will take a pencil and es
timate the total outlay of this slnirle
corps of thirty-two Seranton shoppers
"doing their spring buying" in New
York, can from that basis figure out
a tolerably close guess at the aggre
gate sum of money annually diverted
by this pernicious habit from local
channels of business. We shouldn't be
surprised If more limn $1,00U,U(H) were
thus subtracted. At all events, the
total Is u -laige one, and If It could be
kept wheiu It belongs, it would make
the very mateilal difference but ween
local prosperity and depression In
tiadu circles.
Everybody now appears to desire the
return of good times. The whole talk
of the country is for It and to expe
dite It ,a special session of congress Is
now In session. Prosperity throughout
the nation Is most desirable; but let us
suggest to Serantonlitns that the best
way to cause it to be felt In this Im
mediate community is not to send the
earnings of Seranton lubor or the prof
its of Seranton capital off to u dis
tant place to be spent for merchandise
or stocks or bonds; but to spend it
light hen- where it will quickly eet
Into the channels of local distribution,
helping in the payment of wages,
rents, taxes, repairs, enlargements and,
eventually, perhaps, profits or divi
dends. This is a very simple recipe for
prosperity so far ns Seranton Itself Is
concerned. Will the intelligent well-to-do
citizens of the city have the
liatrlotism to udopt it?
By a vote of 24 to IS the
PeniiRylva-
nla senate has decided to "
'Investlgate"
the anthracite coal regions.
Hud It not
better ptoceed also to Inv
estjgate the
lumber region, the slate
farming legions and tlm
ous centers of Industilul oi
activity? Let us by all in
region, the
eans have a
general show-down.
From a New Point of View.
There are probably no toilers who
come into contact with the general pub
lic who receive a greater amount of
censuie . and at times actual
abuse than the hardworking employes
of the 'Traction company.' ' hi' nearly
every other wall; of life the servant of
the public occasionally lias some re
dress, but the street car conductor or
motorman Is expected to bear meekly
any abuse that may be occasioned by a
slight mista$;c on his part or the dys
peptio tendencies of the passenger. He
is expected to know the location of the
home of every resident along his route,
and the,. conductor.. who ciinnot. direct;
his passenger to any street and number
within ten or twelve blocks from his
"run" Is regarded as an Idiot by the
fussy putron, -The- lady passenger of
course Is never supposed to bother her
head about location. When sheenters
. tin- car she tells the conductor the
name of the street at which she wishes
to allsht and never tioubles her head
further. The car may be full; the con
ductor may have a dozen other loca
tions to remember and there may be
many things to divert IiIb attention.
Hut woe betide the unfortunate fare col
lector who falls to stop the car at the
designated locality! An exhibition of
tin peculiarities of fair woman In tills
inspect was given sometime ago on the
Laurel Hill Hue. A woman entered a
cur und ordered the conductor to put
her off at n ceitain street. Tim con
ductor, evidently new at the business,
lorgot until the woman had been cor
jlnl a block further. Although this
"lady" was In good health, and the duy
wan uleasant. she Insisted upon having
the car backed n block and stopped
in front of her door, threatening all
kinds of dire veiigiiinee unless her de
mand was eohiplled with.
Our attention was called to (mother
system of annoyance sometime nun
wheieby the motorman of the open cur
Is made to suffer. The car was run
ning at a rapid rnte when suddenly a
woman sitting on one of the scats near
the front leaned forward and raised
her poised parasol In the air. For un
Instant her arm shot out and the point
of the umbrella stick struck the motor
nuin gquui't-ly under the llftli rib near
the spine. "Meuue stop the car," she
was about to say, but her voice was
drowned by the roar of the car runner
who yelled "keep your blunkcty blank
old umbrella to homo!" as his hand
sought the part of his body that had
been speared. The conductor rang the
bell, everybody laughed and the wo
man alighted evidently very much
shocked. "You haven't any Idea of the
force a woman can put behind an um
brella stick" growled the motorman,
us the car moved on. "Why my ribs
are sore all summer from Just such
pokes given by passengers Who haven't
sense enough to turn around and signal
to the conductor when they want to
get olf."
In addition to these annoyances the
life of the conductor Is, made burden
some by spotters, section superintend
ents, and other olllclals who are con
stantly endeavoring to detect some one
In hi caking tlie rules. This constant
vigilance Is of course necessary to dis
cipline but it Is often very annoying
where misapplied, "t say ," said
one of the superintendents to n well
known and faithful cunductor the. other
day, "why do you continually eat breath
lozenges?" "Oh, 1 like 'cm, und they
are good for the stomach," was the
reply. "You are eating them so that
the passengers won't smell beer about
you?" "No, sir!" "Will you swear that
you are not eating the candy to kill the
smell of beer?" "Yes, sir! I will,"
was the reply, "because I don't drink
beer 1 always dtlnk whiskey." "Oct
on your car," was all the superintend
ent could say, and the conductor con
tinues to, take things for his breath,
though he always attends strictly to
business.
"Some fellows get too smart," said a
communicative fare collector one day.
"You know, one of these fellows re
cently got a run on the Green Ktdge
line and when night came lie cluimed
to hnve foi ty cents too much in ills
own iHicket. After asking advice from
several car men some one advised him
to put the money in an envelope and
hand It in at the ofllce. lie did so with
a polite note of explanation. "Of
course," we replied, "that man got a
steady position?" "Not much! They kept
the forty cents and bounced him next
day. You know," added the story-teller,
with a. twinkle In his eye, "in this busi
ness It don't do for a fellow to be too
honest."
Perhaps from a perusal of these Inci
dents the average street ear patron will
learn to meet the employes of the Trac
tion company at least half way In the
matter of courtesy, politeness and for
bearance. We print this article to show
that there ale two sides to every is
sue. Tlie nation Is Infoiined, by cable all
the way from London, that President
.McKlnley "Impresses" Oeoige W.
Smulley "with confidence." Now let
the procession proceed.
Education and Agriculture.
The fialveston News considers the
present rush of the bright young men
of the rural districts to the cities and
druws tlie conclusion that there Is need
In this country of Illiterate Immlirra
tloii in order to sustain u peasant
class. This Is a philosophy eminently
Southern. Put the News overlooks two
Important facts. One Is that the more
Ignoran: the Inimlgiant, the greater Is
the probability that he will add him
self to the already congested urban
population; and the other Is. that tin
best farmers that came to us from the
old world come from such countries
as Ciermuny and Scandinavia, where
the percentage of Illiteracy Is lowest.
When the News charges that "the
vices, extravagances, blandishments,'
and glitter of urban life are absorbing
the native energy and manhood of the
farms Just In the proportion that edu
cation is diffused In rural districts," It
utters one of those half truths which,
according to the proverb, are more
mendacious than an equal number of
whole lies, It Is true that enlighten
ment leads usually to unrest, which
eventually produces a change in social
conditions. And that style of educa
tion which locates all its heroes In
dress suits and pictures .its HI Dorados
exclusively as cities made up of brown
stone fronts may, Indeed, have the ef
fect on the farmer boy to fill his mind
with dreams of in ban conquest and
thus be Instrumental In accelerating
the drift of population from country to
city. But Just as the Imagination of
the rustic youth Is by this means fired
with Ideal conceptions of urban superl
oilty so will It soon be noticed, by a
law of compensation which In the long
run never falls, that the starved and
anaemic child of the flat, tenement or
gutter will come to entertain similar
longings for the freer life and purer
atmosphere of the farm.
The swinging of the pendulum In
one direction Insures an eiiuul move
ment. In due season, toward the oppo
s'lte side. When tlie cities get so full
of foolish farmers' boys that It will be
more profitable, more comfortable nrid
more respectable for them to turn
backward toward the old homestead,
they will go back, hi other words, this
problem of the distribution of popula
tion will regulate Itself, and It will
never become necessary to Imanrt an
agricultural class to be bound down to
the soil by chains ot llllterac;', Fur
thermore and finally, It Isn't juosslble
In a republic to build an enduring so
cial structure on foundations of Ignor
ance. Here Is tlie strongest word which
tlie New York Sun lias said In opposi
tion to the arbitration treaty, and It
comes from Its London correspondent:
"The cold, calculating diplomacy which
looks on Indifferently while a helpless
nice Is mussacred in Armenia und then
turns its guns upon u Christian people
trying to throw off a yoke of tyranny
In Crete, Is not entitled to be taken in
stantly at Its word when it brings for
ward a magnanimous scheme for set
tling all Its quartets with America by !
utbltrntlon." Hut us u matter of fact '
It was not HtiRlanil but the Tnltcd
States which brought this scheme for
ward. Ale we to repudiate our own
wink?
There Is a flavor of humor In Hpenk
er heed's remaik to the house, upon
accepting Its re-election of him to she
speakership: "I cannot, having hud
experience, expect to please all of yoii
always, but 1 do hope, with your as
sistance and your kind forbeanmce,
to administer Justice to each member
and to both sides ot the chamber un
der tlie rules established by the house
of representatives, without fear, favor
or the hope of tewurd." Hut lias he not
already had his reward in ills virtually
unanimous re-election?
It Is evident these days that the gov
ernor of Pennsylvania tins decided to
exercise the functions of his ollice ac
cording to his own Ideas of right policy
and without regard to factional Inter
ests. It Is well.
Tomorrow morning's Tilbune will
announce the icsltlt of today's debate
at Carson City and then we hope to be
spared the necessity of further adver
tising two notorious fakers.
The Lotus magazlnelet expects to
meet the Princess de Chlmay In "the
pages of romance." Nof If Anthony
Comstocl: knows of it.
The latest brilliant idea Is ti bill, and
at Albany, too, to prevent the wealing
of tights. One taxing bald heads is
next In order.
SPEAKER REED.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The re-election of Thomas H. Heed to
the Speakership of the house of representatives-
wns a proper tribute to the
ability und bioad statesmanship of the
masterful commoner who discharged thu
duties of this position so acceptably in
previous congresses. Resourceful, fear
less und singularly endowed to preside
over the popular brunch of congress, the
country has the ussurunce time under his
direction the business of the house will be
conducted with dispatch and that the will
of the majority will be fm undated .in
legislation as it should be under demo
cratic government. None will dispute the
pilnuiuy of Jlr. Heed In the counsels of
his party, und nolle will chullenge the
wisdom of the Republican representa
tives In again elevating him to the speak
ership. They could have tukeli no other
action without self-stultlllcutlon und with
out defeating the choice of un overwhelm
ing mujoiity of Republican voteis.
.Mr. Reed has been In public life for
thiity years, und In every sphere of duty
to which he bus been assigned he husj dis
played signal ability and adaptability.
iHs constituency have wisely kept him in
congress tor more tliun twenty yeurs,
giving to the nation during un extiemely
Important period of Its history one of the
most accomplished paiiiumelituiiuns tlie
country bus produced. It Is said
that imitation is tlie slncerest flattery.
The truth of the aphorism was forcefully
Illustrated when the Democrats of the
house udopted hx famous quorum-counting
tiding enfoiced by him against stren
uous Democratic protestation in the Flfty
tlisl congress. Thu ruling was founded
upon common sense and without Us
courageous execution the house would
have lemulned subject to the vexatious
delays with which a stiong minority could
postpone or defeat Important legislation.
An admlilng biographer of the speaker,
wilting In the New York Tilbune, ob
serves us to this biilllunt passage in Mr.
Reed's career: "Seven yeurs have passed
since the majority of the house was
emancipated from the bondage of the
mlnoilty by the bold uct of a linn 'and
courageous speaker, and the member who
should htai.d up In that body today und
propose to lestoie the old older of things
would be regal ded with pitying derision."
'lids ruling Is sulllclently- Illustrative of
the fibre, llrmncss, courage und knowl
edge of the fundamental principles of
stuteciaft which have churucteilzed Mr.
Reed while admlidsteilng the responsible
1 1 list of the s-peakeishlp; and these, are
traits which compel thu i aspect of puitl
san foes when the resentments of the mo
ment have cooled. The lesolutlon of
thanks unanimously passed at the cloe
of the last congress was a heartfelt recog
nition of Mr. Reed's impartiality and
ability us a presiding otllcer and of Ills
s telling statesmanship.
No living Republican has been more In
fluential than Speaker Reed In moulding
the politics of his party, (lifted with con
vincing, ti enchant und epigrammatic
speech, he has long bpen an invaluable
champion of Republicanism, und hi
addresses have contributed powerfully to
Republican sucres. His presentation of
political Issues Is of u character which
arrests attention and sways the judgment.
Few American statesmen have excelled
him In keenness of retoit when the exi
gencies of debate require the use of this
sharp weapon. His self poise In every
emergency of debate is admirable. He bus
the quullty of u great lender, whether his
party be in the majority or In the mi
nority. He Is certain lo play a manly and
useful role In the present congress.

A moisture dimmed his eye
And made Its blue as soft a hua
As Apt It's misty sky.
The morning frost wns on his beard,
The winds of March were keen.
Hut all his heart was warmed to hear
The "Wealing of the Green."
The burden of his years of toil
Was lifted from his back:
His furrowed cheek was smooth and
young,
Ills mizzled hair was black.
The silken Hags and snowy plumes '
They passed him ull unseen;
He walked again where Hist he sung
The' "Wealing of the Green."
The mossy rocks and rugged glens
Sent back his voice ugaln,
And Mary, in her cabin door,
Took up Hip sad lefraln.
She had u shanuock In her breast,
The kerchief's fold between,
And i odder tips have never trilled
The "Wearing ot the Green."
Ills Mury's old and feeble now.
Her scanty lockn ure white;
She dozes by the Hie all day
And grumbles half the night.
Hut they uie wedded lovers yet,
And on eueh other lean,
And still she hums, In quaveilng tones,
The "Weurlng of tlm Green." '
Come sun or shadow, once u year
The bands uie sere to play
The good old tune, the dear did tune,
Ppon Saint Patrick's Day.

Though oceans loll between;
'TIs sweet to every exile's ear

From te A!too'a Tribune.
'Che truth Is that Uieat Hrltaln and the
I'iiIipiI States, the pioneers of Anglo
Saxon civilization and the leaders or free
dom, should not permit their own folly
and the malice of enemies to hold them
at arms' length uny longer. They have
too much In common and the majority
of their people ale so united by ties of
blood nnd Interest that It ought to bo
very easy for thmi to become the pio

which will make an end of war, save in
Isolated Instances and mulci' peculiar
provocutloif, and bring In the reign of the
peace of f!od. It Is very gratifying to
observe that President McKlnley has en
dorsed the arbitration treaty In lnng'l.ige

the senate will speedily ratify It, "iib
