SCRANTON. APRIL 13. 18W.
Tho re-election ot Joseph P. Phillips
ns city epjlncer Insures In that im
portant position the cervices or a man
who has been tested and found trust
worthy. It Is a pity that there should
be any obstacle- to the re-election of
that other capable servant ot tho city,
James II. Torrey.
Harmony.
It will please every earnest Republi
can to know that the prospects arc at
last excellent for a restoration of har
mony In the party In Pennsylvania.
The bitter factionalism of tho past two
years has not been without Its useful
ness ln stimulating political activity,
but at the same tlmo it has kept mat
ters of government In a state of lluctu
ntlon and uncertainty, has engendered
111 feeling beyond duo reason and al
together has done very much more
liarm' than good.
Tho great mass of Republicans have
grown somewhat weary of the continu
al charges and recriminations that have
characterized the politics of Pennsyl
vania for a considerable period and
would -Vail as a relief a condition of
nffalra which would eliminate to some
extent the spotter, .the Informer, tho
mercenary and the paid spy from the
vicinity of legislative chambers and
convention halls, and clear the atmos
phere of some of the prevailing smell
of sulphur and brimstone.
It 'Is 'fitting that the restoration of
harmony 'should be upon the basis of
a general recognition by active politi
cians of the leadership of Senator Quay
In state affairs, and of homo rule In
the politics ot Philadelphia. Efforts to
dislodge the senator from control of the
state organization have so repeatedly
proved futile that those who yearn to
climb Into his shoes might better wait
until they are vacated by him volun
tarily a consummation that doubtless
would not long bo deferred If the fac
tional nagging at' him were to cease.
Mr. "Wnnamaker's declination Is that
of a sadder and n wiser man. Next!
, Invariably the Way.
A story with a' moral to it Is printed
by tlie Paterson, N. J., Press. It con
cerns' the effort and the fntlure of a
group of socialists to plant a co-operative
colony on a farm near Paterson.
Their object was to ubolbh extremes
of poverty and wealth. The farm was
leased for three yearn. It was a fertile
farm, admirably situated. It was pro
posed' that' those members of the so
ciety who desired to do so, could live
In the communistic state. They were
to work the farm and have all the pio.l
ucts go Into d common storehouse, and
If any' were sold to those outside the
society, me money was to go into a
general fund. When the members de
sired nny of tho products of the farm
they were to go to tho storehouse and
draw on Its stores to the extent of the
labor they had performed. It was also
Intended to buy tho furm In the event
of the experiment proving successful,
and grant each member an acre of land
upon which to build a home. The house
was to belong to the one building It,
and in case h did not want to live In
it, ho could jut or sell It, but the land
was to bu owned In common. There
were various other details radically dif
ferent from the usual social and busi
ness methods. In fact the object was
to make the colony an Ideal commun
istic community.
According to the Paterson paper nil
these alluring Ideas got tangled up
when It came- to trying to put them into
operation. "All hands," we are told,
"wanted tobo the head and front of tho
concern, and Uu Industrious members
found fault with others Inclined to
shhk their work. After the farm was
leased last fall, twelve members settled
down on the place and lived there, sub
sisting upon what little means they
had and the small subscriptions that
wero paid into the fund by other mem
bers and friends of the scheme. There
wero French end Oerm.uis on tho place,
and they did not get along well to
gether, there being constant disputes us
to tho way tho place should be run,
and who was In authority. No work
was done during tho winter, the mem
bers Just loafing about tho place doing
nothing but dawdling their tlmo away.
With" the advent C sprlnjr weather they
began;ta drop away, the German mem
ber's "leSvlnc. first; then tho French
mo.ml'.eT8. VcSan disappear, until day
before yesterday the remaining family
haTTOSedup' a'n old horse that had
beenBJwnjto them 'by Mrs. 'Ward, the
owmKJoJMftt farm, Ipadedwhat little
effects thVy" had on the wagon and
drove ..away. This heglra has wound
up the experiment for tho present, and
the house Is'ciosed."
In other wotds, "instead of an Utopia,
wi'li.hapiy;peoplo enjoying an Ideal ex
Istence: with no caros 0,3 to money
maUvrs-aiul the various other little de
tails of life that go to worry the av
erage citizen, tho AVard farm presents
a desolate and damaged appearance.
WJignaUfjfi'nB proposed that each mem-bex-pay
$200. for a share In tho owner
ship, of the farm when It was bought,
anfiialiircturn for. this he would
belloweil to'draw $5 worth of produce
a month from the general 'storehouse,
there" fras""a general howl, it being
clalmeVChfl,t Thfa would be 'capitalis
tic'; the members wanted the privilege
of T.8lTrs: to the' storehouse and getting
wfloV fh'ey wanted without pay; that
w,J?trup. sprnnmnlsm. Instead of e
erythlng being" lovely, there was a con.
staTft Jang'le'gbinff'bn allthe time."
we don't know that It is worth while
to tMmp.'.jitS drw.'any Uedi-ctiona
from this natural collapse of a theory
based on fancies Instead of facto. The
Imir.selblllty of communism on any
permanent scale Is thorough estab
lished, as Is also tho apparent Impos
sibility of getting tho eyes ot social
istic dreamers opened to this fact, Rut
It occurred to us as wo read the fore
going naratlve In our esteemed Pater
son contemporary that possibly Its re
publication might bo a partial antidote
to tho new wave of social hallucina
tion which Is expected to follow the ap
pearance of Kdward Uellamy's forth
coming sequel to "Looking llackward."
At any rate, It possesses human inter
est. The Idea of the Supremo court In tho
Law lor case Is that tho Raker ballot
law means Just what It says, and neith
er more nor less. It would bo well for
prospective contestants throughout th3
state to make a note of this.
Another View of the Senate.
Not long ago we summarized on this
page the opinions of the senior senator
from Massachusetts, Mr. Hoar, con
cerning the United States senate. It
will be remembered that he defended
It with spirit from most of the accu
sations commonly leveled against It,
and wns himself critical only to the
extent of suggesting a slight abridge
ment of its opportunities for debate.
Another senator, Mr. Mills, of Texas,
through the medium of a contribution
to the newspapers, has since offered
his i 'eas on the subject, and they, also,
merit attention.
Mr. Mills begins with frank recogni
tion of tho fact that for some years
lb" fcenato has been losing Its hold on
the confidence and support of tho
American people, nnd Intimates that
many reasons might be given for this
unhappy condition; but he considers
one only the complaint that In the
senate public business Is not dispatched
as It should be. After showing some
what elaborately how the rules of the
senate render It pcsslble upon occa
sions for one member to hold up the
entire legislative business of tho coun
try, almost for an Indefinite time, the
senator declares that "this humiliat
ing spectacle has aroused the indigna
tion of the country," and quotes with
approval the dictum "that to consider
the will of the society' enounced by the
majority of a single vote os sacred as
if unanimous Is the llrst of all lessons
of Importance." Ho also says:
"Uy refusing to make a rule to close
debate and force a vote the majority
abdicates Its rightful power and shirks
Its constitutional duty. It makes it
difficult and often impossible for the
will of tho people to become the law
ot tho land. It prolongs the sessions
of the government, Increases the ex
penses of the government and makes
the laws sometimes the result, of di
plomacy and not legislation. It Is con
tended by those who are opposed to
cloture that It cuts off amendments
and stifles debate. That does not nec
essarily follow. The power to close de
bate and stop amendments does not
Imply that It will be so employed. It
means that all legitimate debate shall
bo had and proper consideration of all
amendments that may be appropriate
ly offered, and when that Is done that
abuse of the right shall be shut oft
and the legislative body be permitted
to exercise Its constitutional functions.
Every legislative body has the inher
ent light of self-government, but no
one would bo capable of self-government
which would refuse to any of Its
members the right to offer amendments
and discuss the effects of measures
pending before It. There may be, and
doubtless are, Instances where majori
ties have been wanton and wicked in
their conduct, but that Is certainly
not the rule In tho senate of the United
States.
As for the contention that unlimited
debate Is necessary as a check upon
Impulsive legislation the gentleman of
Texas submits that "majorities In
times of great excltment may become
lawless and trample under foot nil
lights, and It Is to prevent this, as
well as to facilitate the dispatch of
business, that parliamentary rules are
made. Hut when the minority attempts
to usurp the power that belongs of na
tural right to the majority It becomes
equally culpable." Ills conclusion Is
that the senate should begin at once
to reform existing conditions. "It
should lose no time In putting itself in
harmony with the sentiment of the
country. Speaking against time Is not
debate. Neither Is speaking to empty
benches. One Is time improperly con
sumed, the other Is time thrown
away " The whole difficulty can be
remedied, hi contends, by the adoption
of the previous question. "If the san
nte would amend tho twenty-second
rule nnd provide for thu previous ques
tion, which cuts off debate and amend
ments, and pruvlde that when It Is
moved there shall be entertained by the
chair but two motion's one to fix the
day to which the senate e-hall adjourn
and one to adjourn before the previous
question shall b.e put It will solve the
problem that has so long been vexing
It, and which has brought upon it so
much criticism. The conservatism ot
the Renute may always be safely re
lied upon to prevent tho arbitrary use
of tho rule."
Hoi art Chtufl'ild Chu I field-Taylor,
who has betn visiting in South' Ameri
ca, think It "would bo better If Eng
land did ::et all of Venezuela." Un
doubtedlybetter for England. Well,
her failure to get it wasn't England's
fault.
The Fee Nuisance.
Very general notice has been taken
by the state press of the portion of
Judge Woodward's recent charge to tho !
Luzerne county grand Jury which re
ferred to the abuse of the fee .system
by committing magistrates. The case
In point cited In that charge Is receiv
ing attention that of a man who, after
being held to trial on a minor com
plulnt, did not get Into court until
thero had been nlneteon continuances,
wilh a bill of cosis exceeding $1000
which was finally saddled upon the
county.
Tho Philadelphia Inqulror strikes
close to the truth when It remarks that
"appeals to magistrates and justices of
the peace will not remedy the matter.
Thy have been made many times be
foro, and always with tho same result,
The abolition of the fee system will
correct the evil. When tho number of
cases returned means nothing In a
! financial sense to tho com.iittllng mac-
I lstratea they will send a minimum
rather than a maximum number to the
court above,"
In the meantime, what Is tho legis
lature doing with tho several admirable
bills which have been Introduced to Its
attention for the purpose of correcting
ccrtnln specially prolific sources of dis
pensable litigious costs?
The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin Is
a good representative of tho decent
"new Journalism" which tvalta Itself
of legitimate nnd wholesome Improve
ments but d"es not fo3ter decadence.
It Is vivacious, piquant, sometimes Just
a little saucy, but It Is always respect
able. The Uulletln, on Saturday, In
commemoration of its fiftieth anniver
sary, printed a 32-pago paper which
exhibited Its enterprise, exemplified Its
facilities for good workniunshlp and In
cidentally reminded tho reading public
of Philadelphia where It can ilnd a
"good thing."
The value of the American slate out
put lust year was nearly $3,000,000, of
which Pennsylvania produced one-half.
This Is altogether exclusive of several
more or less valuable political "slates."
Let us hope that the world's postal
congress which Is to meet U Washing
ton next month will mass Its Influence
In favor of stamps that will htlck.
Gossip at
the Capital
Special to tho Scranton Tribune.
Washington, April 12. Tho south
ern sentiment In fuvor of a protective
tariff Is likely to be quite as apparent at
the senate end of the eapltol ns it was in
the house during the discussions or tho
tariff bl'.l. Amendments to the bill In
creasing the protective rates of duty are
being offered by southern senators nnd ap
peals are being made fiom the south to
the finance committee and to members of
tho senate asking for higher rates than
those named by the bill as it passed the
house. Cotton, rice, sugar, oranges, plne-
L apples ami other fruits, tobaeco, lumber.
bait, Iron, manganese, beauxlte and other
metals are among the Items named for
which appeals are being mailn by southern
men and southern Interests. Leadl.ig
Democratic newspapers In tho great
southern cities comment favorably upon
the fact that Democratic votes from tho
south were cast In favor of the bill aui
that Democratic membirs argued In flavor
of Increased protection upon the products
of that section. Such leading southern
Democratic newspapers us the New Or
leans Picayune, Charleston News and
Courier, Richmond Times, New Orleans
Times-Democrat, Memphis Sclmitur,
Nashville Runner and others speak ap
provlngly of the course of tho Democratic
statesmen from their sections who sup
ported the bill In the house and offer no
unfavorable comment upon the fact thut
more than thirty votes from the southern
states were cast In favor of the most pro
tcttvo tariff bill which the country has
known for many ytars. No protective
tariff meusuro ever received any such
number of votes from the south ns did
tho Dlngley bill In the house nor has tho
present generation witnessed tho specta
cle of southern Democratic votes being
cast for a protective tariff bill.
"There can be no doubt of the marked
growth of the protective sentiment In the
south," said Chairman Dlngley, of tho
ways and means committee, commenting
upon this fact today. "So far as I now
recall, this Is the llrst tlmo that southern
Democrats have voted for a protective bill
or expressed tho strong sentiments In fa
vor of a protective tariff which wo have
heard In the house and which are now be
ing presented at the senate end of tho
eapltol In th amendments proposed by
senators nnd others, Increasing tho pro
tective rates of duty In the pending tariff
bill. We have had Democratic votes from
the north for a protective turlff bill In the
put'!, but this support for tho protcctlvo
Idea from the south Is new."
"And gratifying, of course, Mr. Dlng
ley ?"
"Most assuredly."
"Surprising, too?"
"Not especially so; no. Tho develop
ment of manufacturing Industries In tho
south in tho past few years has created a
protective sentiment. There aro two rea
sons for this. First, the desire for the In
crease of manufactures and the direct re
sult therefrom, and second, the advan
tages to agriculture which come from
the home manufacturing Industry. Tho
value of farm products Is largely depend
ent upon the proximity to a market. Farm
products are bulky and the cost of trans
porting them to a distant market destroys
the profits to the farmer. If he has a
market just alongside his farm or within
easy reach, he can make good profits out
of n business which would not be suc
cessful If he must ship hid productions a
long dlstanco to find sale for them. Tho
establishment of manufacturing Indus
tries In thu south has thus not only In
creased tho price which tho farmer gets
for his productions, but has greatly diver
sified these products and thus further In
creased his urollts."
"Then you look upon tho growth of tho
protective sentiment as developing among
tho agricultural us well as among thu
manufacturing communities of tho
south?"
"Undoubtedly. A study of tho agrlcul
tural history and conditions of the various
sections of the country shows clearly that
Hie valuu of lund and tho value of Its pro
ductions averages much higher per ncro
in tlie sections which have manufactur
ing industries, which thus afford a homo
market for tho products and for diversi
fied productions. The people of tho south
aro seeing this In their expcrlcnco with tho
manufacturing Institutions which have
been developed In that section during tho
past few years. So thero Is undoubtedly
a growth of protectlvo sentiment not
alono among thoso Interested In manufac
tures or directly profiting by the employ
ment which they give but nlso among tco
great mass of people of that section
whoso attention Is devoted to agriculture."
"Do you look for a continued growth ot
protectlvo sentiment In tho south, Mr.
Dlngley?"
"Yes. Tho mere effect of this discussion
and tho avowed protective sentiments of
men ot all parties which havo been so
prominently and publicly made will have
Its eltect In still further strengthening
ami Increasing tho protective sentiment."
"And does this probably mean nn In
creaso In Republican strength from that
section In congress and In national elec
tion? generally?"
"Undoubtedly. Tho Republican voto In
tho south has been largely held In check
In the past because the parties divided to
a great extent on tho color line. Now that
thero is a disposition to divide on other
Issues and upon tho Important issuo of
protection, It will Insure fair elections,
and with fair elections and Increased
protective sentiment, It will strengthen
very materially tho probabilities of Re
publican success In many parts ot that
section. We have seen this Illustrated In
tho recent eloctlons In which the Republi
can party carried tho northern tlor of
southern states for tho presldoncy and
elected an unusually largo number of con
gressmen, nnd with party divisions made
upon other lines than that of color or rac
will also como fair elections and an In
croaso In tho protectlvo nnd Republican
strength ot that section of the country."
Tho growth In the Republican and pro
tectlve strength In congress referred to by
Governor Dlngley In hla remarks Is es
pecially npparent upon a study of tho
records of former congrcsies. The Fifty
fourth and Fifty-fifth congresses have
contained a much larger number of Ro.
Dubltcuns from tho south than aiu con
gress which has preceded them for many
years. Tho free trade experiment of four
years ago which proved so unsatisfactory
In other parts of the country seems to
have been equally so In tho south since tho
number of Republican congressmen elect
ed from that section has moro than
doubled In the past two coiiRresslon.il
elections. The following table shows tho
number of Republican representatives In
each of tho past ten congresses, from tho
south, thus covering a period of twenty
years;
Forty-fifth congress 11
Forty-sixth congress 4
Forty-seventh congress 12
Forty-eighth congress IB
Forty-ninth congress 12
Fiftieth congress 18
FIfty-llrst congress 17
Fifty-second congress 4
Fifty-third congress 1
Fifty-fourth congress 33
Fifty-fifth congress 23
Adding to the twenty-five southern Re
publican members In the Fifty-fifth con
gress the six southern votes cast by Dem
ocrats nnd Populists for the protective
tariff bill, It win be seen that the south
ern protectlvo clement of the Fifty-fourth
nnd Fifty-fifth congresses wns practically
double that which has existed In any pre
ceding congress since reconstruction
days, and that with the exception of the
period In which tho frco trade sentiment
swept over tho country In the election of
the Fifty-second nnd Fifty-third congress
es, thero has been a steady growth of Re
publican and protcctlvo membership from
tho south, culminating In the large per
centage shown for that section In the pres
ent congress and the one which expired
on the 4th of March last. With practically
one-third of the southern representation
In the house cither voting for a protec
tive tariff menure or refusing to voto
against It, and with leading southern Deni
ocrnts denouncing frco trade and free raw
materials and asking for Increased pro
tection upon tho products of their fleldr,
mines nnd workshops, leading Republicans
here express tho opinion that tho dny of
new party lines nnd party divisions In the
south Is at hand.

THE DICKINSON VERDICT.
Rochester Chronicle: "It strikes us that
this verdict Is Inconsistent on Its face and
must be set aside. If wo correctly under
stand the case the Issue of fact to bo de
cided by this jury was this: 'Was or was
not this plaintiff, being sane, Illegally, un
justifiably and maliciously deprived of her
liberty and conllned among lunatics In an
Insane asylum, under the false pretext
that sho was Insane?' This Issuo of fact
tho jury, by Its verdict, has decided In
favor of the plaintiff. It declares that a
sane woman has been Illegally and un
justifiably branded as Insane, falsely Im
prisoned among lunatics and deprived cf
her liberty and the control of her property,
and then saplcntly concludes that beeuuso
of all this she has suffered only nominal
damages. How can this verdict possibly
be sustainable? Is it not plain that "f
Anna Dickinson Is entitled to any damages
at all i-'he must bo entitled to very sub
stantial damages? If any member of that
jury Is ever so unfortunate as to bo com
mitted to an asylum for tho caro of ho
weak-minded, In his view unjustly, It will
hardly be worth his while to bring nn ac
tion for damages for falso Imprisonment.
The fact that ho helped to find this Idiotic
verdict would, of course, be put In evi
dence by the defendants and would, doubt
less, be held sufficient to Justify them and
bar recovery."
Philadelphia Ledger: "Tho verdict of
six and a quarter cents damages, given to
Anna Dickinson In her suit, was about
as unsatisfactory In effect ns It was In
amount. It was a reproof to tho plaintiff
while nominally convicting the defend
ants. It vlrtuully said that while she
was not Insane, sho was so near It thut
her friends wero Justified In sending her
to nn asylum, and thoroforo she wns not
entitled to recover damages for tho as
sault upon her and the restraint of her
liberty. It will bo seen that tho main
question, whether tho plaintiff was sune
or Insane, Is not settled at all by tne
Jury's finding. If Imprisoned whllo sane,
she was entitled to far heavier damages
th.an tho Jury gave her. If insane at the
time and properly immured, sho was en
titled to no damages at all. It was not a
case for such a compromise verdict as the
Jury brought In:"
Philadelphia Times: "Her earnest strug
gles as author and actor presented the
llrst positive falluro In her career. Since
then sho has never been wholly herself,
and her aggressive efforts, often male
with moro courago than wisdom, to main
tain the proud position she had won, havo
dono much toobrouro her enrly and grand
er achievements. Sho should bo remem
bered only as tho Anna E. Dickinson of a
generation ago."
Rochester Post-Kxpress: "Poor Anna
Dickinson! Sho gets six and a quarter
cents damages from tho parties against
whom she brought suit for her alleged un
warranted Incarceration In tho Danville
Insuno asylum In 1S91 a technical verdict
In her favor, but a moral verdict agalnt
her. Tho result Is a pitiful ending of a
brilliant and, at times, useful career."

Within her home soft tints abound
In blessed harmony;
Luxurious chairs are scattered round,
And books ono loves to see.
Pictures and rugs that never tire,
An air that's pure, refined,
All that tho heart may well deslro
Within her home I Ilnd.
And so I ponder hour by hour
The problem. Which is right?
How can I pluck this sunlit flower
And take It from the light?
1 think of my own humble cot.
Sweet girl, sho does not know
How much she'll miss tho dear old spot
When she has left It. No!
This sacrifice sho shall not make.
Although sho may prefer
In innocence this step to take,
I'd rather live with her.
