Wo admit e that quality in a citizen
or a newypaptr . lilclr Impels to a spir
ited defense of home institutions; but
our down-the- valley conteiriporaiy
ought not tn permit Its zeal foi Wllkes
Baire to tyotray it Int j lnlsiepipsentlons
concerning Hoi anion. It simply ib not
true that Wilkes-Uai re stoies or
WIlkcs-Hai re stocks are superior to the
frtcups and stocks of Scranton. If any
one lms this Impression, It is utterly
unfounded and the best way to collect
it Is for the purchasers of Luzerne
county to come to Sbcianton and see tor
themseUcs. A personal tout of our
leading rnercairtlle establishments will
speedily detetinlne the matter, and by
this fair test we are willing- to abide.
In only one particular do wo notice
among the business men of "Wllkes
I3arre a characteristic which we might
commend to the attention of local mer
chants Vi'e are told, that they nre mole
liberal In their expenditures for adver
tising; and ue RXeater care and Innpnr;
lt In their utilization ot printers ink
than do theli competitors in Scranton.
"We do not know whether this is true or
not, possibly the i eport arises from
the fact that Wllkes-Iiarre adver Users
ns a class have little to do with dodgers,
programmes, placards and the numer
ous fake deices common throughout
tlie country, but Instead centralize their
expenditures for advertising in the
dally papers, paying good rates and
lequlring good service in return. AVe
dare say twice as much money is spent
in Scranton as in Wilkes-Barre for ad
vertising purposes, but we fear that a
good deal of It goes into non-productive
channels that do not reach the eyes of
the people.
It is possible that in this matter our
merchants are somewhat remiss; but as
for the assertion that they don't keep
as jrocd stocks at as moderate prices
as can be found In Wilkes-Barre, that
is sheer nonsense. It will not bear in
vestigation. The Democrats in congress forget
that what the country wants is not
guff but work.
Dr. Swallow Found Guilty.
The conviction of Rev. Dr. Swallow
upon the charge of criminally libeling
Captuln John C. Delaney, superintend
ent of public buildings arrd grounds, was
a natural result of his failure to supply
testimony in support of his charges.
Such sympathy as would naturally be
felt for an honest man betrayed through
pure motives lrrto the utterance of
grave charges upon insufficient hearsay
evidence has beerr lor felted by Dr.
Swallow, In consequence- of his course
since these prosecutions were brought.
From the moment of his arrest until
the present he has sought by conspicu
ous aitillces to make it appear that he
lias been the victim of persecution, arrd
has endeaoied to prejudice the leal
points at issue by premature and un
called for bids for public sympathy. A
flagrant instance of this was his Insinu
ation in his paper, the week following
his arrest, that the courts of Dauphin
county hud been set up against him.
Instfud of meeting the issue, facts In
hand, he has endeavored to color the
case agalrrst him by charging vlndlc
tiveness, us i( the tact of his clerical
associations made him, as air -ditor,
exenrpt from responsibility tor public
communications made through his col
umns. The lamentable part of this whole
episode is that It tends to contlim the
popular Imprtsslorr that a minister is
not to be trusted In secular affairs
This impression is unjust, because It
derives Its substance from a tew excep
tional cases which are always Widely
exploited, and overlooks the i-'ieut ma
jority of unheralded Instances In which
discreet and cateful clergymen ate
most helpful and reliable factors in the
. tnery-duy activities of their respective
communities. A generuilzutlon based
orr such premises Is most unfair, but it
is the inisfor turrrt of tin cloth that
when one iudlscieet preacher does go
wrong, he always manages to do so
in so conspicuous and self-advei Used
a manner that the whole world sees and
scoffs.
Our Canadian friends, agitated by the
Dlngloy hill, are beginning to utter
great threats of retaliation. Yet It is
possible that we could survive even
though the dominion ceased to buy a
dollar's worth of our goods, The mar
kets of the United States are better-
worth savins than the market of
ranada.
The sad new Is promulgated that
William M. Reynolds, ot Tunkhannock,
could get the deputy commissioner ship
of pensions If he could secure the In
dorsement of Quay nnd Penrose. Con
sidering that he has bitterly fought
both, that "If" certainly looks ominous.
Protect American Coal.
Ono ot the arguments used to scare
congress Into retaining the 40 cent
present duty oir bituminous coal, In
stead of lalslng the duty to 75 cents per
ton, Is that If we Increase our duty
Canada will put air equal duty on our
anthracite, which she now admits free.
Last year Canada took 1,570,011 tons of
American anthracite, worth $5,G!G,573.
There Is little need to cross a bridge
until It Is reached. If Canada were to
Impose a duty on our anthracite she
would simply damage Canadian users
of that Incomparable fuel. The loss to
our mining Interests from such u duty
would be offset by gains which would
be rriude In tiro New England and At
lantic seaboard inaikets wheie Nova
Scotlan bituminous now cuts Into the
Pennsylvania product.
We do not believe that Canada would
exeuute net ptesent tin eat with refet
elice to anthracite. But In any event,
the Ametlcarr maiket Is of the llrst Im
portance, and if that Is menaced by Im
putations from Canada, as seems from
all the evidence to be the case, the thing
to do Is to talse the American duty.
Canada eun then exeiclse her own
Judgment as to the wisdom of cutting
off her owir nose to spite her face.
Not Including the unny or the nay,
Uncle Sam's pa loll amounts In louird

e's woith.
Two Vital Reforms.
In an address befote the students of
the University of Michigan, delivered
on last Tuesday exerting, ex-President
Harrison sounded xxhat many pel sons
believe to be the key note of the polit
ical contests of the near future. His
subject wus "Some Hindrances to-Law
Keforrns" and the two reforms which
he selected as lepiesentlng those now
most widely hindered xvero a thorough
levlsion of the luws governing corpor
ations, and the equalization ot assess
ment and tuxation. "Five-sixths of the
xoteis of the country," lie atllrmed,
"favor a revision of coroiatlon laxxs,
limiting the purposes for which cor
poiatlons may be organized, supervis
ing the issuing1 of stocks and bonds,
and putting other restraints upon them
An even larger proportion of our peo
ple would L'lve their emphatic support
to the proposition that tax butdens
should fall equally upon all property.
But they do not now, as everyone
knows. Lands, houses, live stook and
Implements of tiade cannot be hidden
Stocks and bonds can be and the as
sessor has no way of checking the list."
In attempting a solution of the cor
poration problem, the speaker said xve
"must remember Hist, that the people
have not only author ized but invited
the organization of and the Investment
in corporations; second, that the bank
ruptcy of any legitimate Industry is a
public Injury; third, Hint xve must take
things as our unwisdom or that of our
forefather j has made them as to the
past we can do little more than mend;
fourth, that the xxoik of reforming our
corporation laxvs Is not lor apprentices;
fifth, that corporation laxv should be
general It Is neither xvlse nor safe to
assume that a par tlcular case is a rep
resentative one, and to administer the
lemedy promiscuously; sixth, that in
public aftairs the best attainable good
is the thing to be sought; seventh, that
the legislation must be just."
He deplored the inadequacy of our
state les-lslatures to deal xvlth a syste
matic and congruous revision of the
laws, and added, somewhat suggestive
ly when we lemember that he Is a law
yer xvhose clients are often large cor
porations: "According to the last an
nual report of Comptroller Hoberts, In
the state of New York the equalized
taxable value of real estate Irr 1893 xvas
nearly four billions, that of personal
property less than half a billion, and
yet It is well known that the personal
property In the state Is equal to if not
greater than the amount of real es
tate. A xay must lie devised to place
corporations under proper restraint
and to brlrrg to the tax roll the vast
aggiegate of untaxed personal prop
erty."
In General Harrison's opinion the
great reform laxvs xvhlch xvill correct
these glatliiL' inequalities xxhlch now
Inriame the unthinking to socialism or
despair must be framed, not tluough
the "Impulsive, hodge-podge of CO-day
leglslatuies," but b commissions com
posed of the ablest men In the states.
"They must," he says, "have time to
thoroughly study the subject. Oppor
tunity must be given to the Inter ests
to be utfected, arrd to the public, to pie
sent suggestions and objections. Theie
should be no attempt to bilng In the
millennium on the monow. It xvoulu
be too sudden. The ideal cannot be
leached ut a step, but we should fuce
and move that way." And thus xve
see that the Impulses back ot the Bryan
campaign, while Insutficlent to xvirr the
Immediate xictoiy, which would In le
ullzatloi doubtless haxe been a defeat,
jet stilllce to set the ablest men to
thinking.
m
Iteports accumulate that Weyler is
to be rit-alled troni Cuba, and Maitlnez
Campos substituted. Tire chunge would
be Spain's last caid and If It failed,
there could be no ulternutlve but Cuba's
freedom.
A Business. Like Proposition,
Not all ot the propositions emanating
from Harrlsburg for the e'fiei,dltuie of
state funds commend themselves to
consei vutU'e scrutiny but an exception
must be noted In the case of the meas
ure to appropriate ?0,U00 for the pur
pose of conducting Investigations con
cerning tne causes, nature, treatment
arrd prevention of dlsiases among live
stock. This money, if judiciously ex
pended und'jt the direction of the State
Llx'o Stock Sanitary board, xxould un
doubtedly rnturn Itself many times oxer
to the taxpayers of fire commonwealth.

stnta of expert knowledge of the sub

vestigations should lead to the avoid
ance of only one-tenth of the present
loss tho return to the state xvould be
forty-fold.
It Is it pelf-ovldent business truth that
tho dollar spent so as to pi event the
loss or waste of forty dollats should be
enteied In the account of true economy.

warm-heui ted, boasttul, credulous and de

through many generations. These he lias

It Is Intended to enter- each general de

eye for Its Inviting Ride, so that when a
book shall be xxiltteu on a given subject
It will not nppc.tr stiff, like the average

aiatlon of tho llrst book of this valuable
sorles, that on birds nnd bird life, xvan en
trusted to James Newton Baskett, and
the volume now before us shoxxs that he
knew hoxv to perform the woik accept
ably. He has touched lightly on the tech
nical side or ornithology, but he has gone
far enough Into its details to equip the
teadei with as much knowledge of that
science as Is necesiaiy In nine eases out
of ten. Moieover, he has pictured the at
ti active phases of the subject so well that
tho book has all the Interest of a novel,
