I , - "
Wo hasten to assure our cental
friend, Woutcr Van Twlller, of. the
"Wilkos-nairo Ilccortl, that It Is useless
for him to offer to mediate between our
esteemed contemporaries, the Truth
mid the Times. The Tribune Is one of
the greatest mediators In the business
und It has failed.
Scranton's New Postmaster,
In the nomination of Colonel Kzra II.
Ripple to bo postmaster of Scranton the
president has conferred recognition
upon one of the most untiring, unsel
fish and effective Republicans In the
city. No man has done more toward
the uplifting of the party In city and
county than Colonel Hippie, and on the
other score of personal deserving no
man more thoroughly merits the honor
which has thus come to him.
That he will bring to this now posi
tion of trust the same high fidelity to
duty and the same business-like com
prehension of details which have char
acterized him In other relations does
not need to be said. To those who wish
for the duties of the office to be per
formed conscientiously, intelligently
and with incessant vigilance in the
public's interest, Colonel Ripple's ap
pointment will be hailed as a most fe
licitous one. These comprise, we be
lieve, the great bulk of the office's pat
rons. It remains to be said for Colonel Rip
ple's predecessor, Mr. Vandllng, that
he will take with him Into private life
the good will of the community, and a
recoul of satisfactory service.
In Senator Quay's opinion It Is vastly
preferable to get Hawaii now, by an
nexation, than to be compelled to get
It hereafter, by conquest from some
other nation. As ho pays, "wo niust
have It ns h. btopping place for our
commerce crossing the Pacific." That
states the case in a paragraph.
The Specter at the Feast.
The reasons offered by John Dillon
why the Irish people will not partlci
tate In the jubilations attending the
commemoration of the completion of
Queen Victoria's sixtieth year of sov
ereignty are certainly sufficient to jus
tify lukewarmness. The fact that in
that period the population of Ireland
has fallen from 8,000,000 to 4,500,000;
while coercion act after coercion act
has followed In quick succession, witli
outrages of the grossest kind punctuat
ing the entire time, is a blot upon the
record too conspicuous to bo Ignored.
It will not be held by impartial stu
dents of the history of British admin
istration In Ireland that the faults have
been altogether on one side; but the
fact remains that the English govern
ment lias displayed a total mlscon
tlou of the Irish character, and by us
ing cruelty and force where kindness
would have been the easiest ns well
ns the most effectlveweaponhasturned
this warm-hearted race into a race of
Irreconcilable enemies. The fatuity of
the Anglican treatment of Ireland is
the more lemarkable when contrasted
with the nice adaptation of means to
ends which has characterized the most
of England's other attempts to rule ac
quired provinces.
It is true that in comparatively re
cent times there has been a change
In England's Irish policy. Something
like moderation and conciliation Is now
the programme; but the trouble with
this new order of things is thnt It
comes too late. Already every Irish
man had been taught from his mother's
breast to view In England an enemy
and to maintain toward Englishmen
In omclal life the attitude of watchful
Busplclon and distrust. It will take
generations for this feeling to disap
pear, If indeed It can ever be removed.
The memory of Ireland's wrongs Is the
specter at Victoria's feast.
Not the least Interesting reason ad
vanced against the acceptunca of Ha
waii Is the Providence Journal's dread
lest the Japanese should take a notion
to whip us out of our boots. The Mug
wump mind .is certainly a storehouse
of strange fancies.
An Unwelcome Necessity.
The statement of Chairman Elkin
reviewing the revenue problem at Har
rlaburg and advising that a cut of $1,
EOO.OOO per annum be made In the ap
propriations Indicates the probable
trend of remedial legislation. The leg
islature of 1895 appropriated money for
two years as follows:
Educatioral $13,790,00 73
Charitable Institutions 7.W3.773 09
Caro and treatment of Indi
gent insane and buildings .... l,2:b,68l id
Penitentiaries and reformato
ries csy,25i io
Departments 1,1195,491 03
Judiciary 1,331,600 t)0
Legislature 617,241 W
Interest on publio debt 038,743 00
Public printing and binding.... 472.S3G W
National Guard 700,000 00
Miscellaneous 7X5,53100
Totnl j:".',9 17,758 53
In tho first four items only is It pos
sible now to mako material reductions,
From the school fund many persons be.
Hove that $1,000,000 can bo subtracted
annually, and tho other half million, It
Is presumed, will be taken from tho
charity account. On tho other hand,
the now direct inheritance tax Is ex
pected to yield from $1,000,000 to l,G0O,
000 pr nnnum. while the Holies rev
enue bill now before the senato Is count,
ed upon to produce $760,000 additional.
Assuming that tho deficit now In view
is correctly computed at J3.500.000, It Is
contended that the foregoing adjust
mont of tho problem will produce satis
factory results, and enable the legisla
te sosslon of 189S to begin business
with a claan score.
How It will satisfy the people to
spare $1,000,000 from their school fund
and $500,000 from their stato aid to
charity remains to be seen. Bomo time
ago It was reported that a combination
of legislators had been formed of suf
ficient strength to thwart tho proposed
cut In the school appropriations. It 1
certain that such a cut would be au
thorized' with' reluctance, and for tho
members to return home after having
been participants in 'a sealing down of
tho charity npp'rop.riaUons would be to
nssumo risks th'c like of which few men
In politics care to assume. Hut under
compulsion of . necessity this pro
gramme may prevail. It Is significant
that Chairman Elkin appears to favor
It. He undoubtedly Bpcaks for tho or
ganization. Within two days two Washington pa
pers and jone Philadelphia Journal have
presented "authoritative statements"
of tho president's Cuban policy. Ac
cording to one of these ho intends to
force Spain to terms; according to tho
secpnd, he Is going to coax Spain a
llttlo and then let the matter drop, and
according to the third he will coax first
and then force. Apparently the dear
public can take Its choice. In tho
meantime, we assume that when tho
president gets ready to declare his In
tentions ho will do so In a manner not
open to misconstruction.
Professional Secrets Inviolable.
The courts, having held that clergy
men and physicians need not reveal
professional secrets on the witness
stand, may soon be asked to extend
this exemption to newspaper reporters.
A movement with this object In view
has already grown out of tho prosecu
tion and ncqulttal of tho two corres
pondents, Messrs. Edwards and Shrlv
er, who were charged with contempt
of the senate sugar trust Investigating
committee because they declined to re
veal the souices of tho Information
which they had published.
In considering this subject the ele
ment of common sense must be kept In
sight. The new-sparer reporter, when
within his sphere of duty, is simply a
medium of communication between the
people and people's servants. To him
custom has delegated the function of
keeping an eye on things. The repor
ter who abuses this trust is soon dis
credited and there are means of pun
ishing hi in. when he deliberately mis
represents. Hut when he conscien
tiously tries to do his duty It is obvious
that he must faithfully shield profes
sional confidences or abandon his vo
cation. In the course of his day's work
he is brought into contact with the
leading men of every department of
human activity and often receives from
each valuable Information upon the
condition that the giver's name shall
not be published. When that informa
tion is of legitimate public Interest,
It Is printed upon the responsibility of
the paper In whose columns It appears,
and the Identity of tho person who
gave the reporter the first clew is ab
solutely of no consequence to the pub
lic, and therefore none of Its business.
In the case mentioned above, a repu
table paper in Philadelphia and one in
New York printed information gath
ered by Messrs. Edwards and Shriver,
and alleging that the sugar trust had
made a corrupt bargain with the Cleve
land administration. Details were giv
en und if the weight of the allegation
merited judicial Inquiry tho end of jus
tice would manifestly have been accom
plished when it should have been de
termined whether the statements made
In the newspaper articles were true
or false. If false, the papers stood re
sponsible before the law; and If true,
their publication was evidently a pub
lic duty. The attempt as made, how
ever, was not so much to get at the
bottom truth of the matter as to
run down the source of the two repor
ters' Information. The entire machin
ery of the law was directed toward the
Identification of the person or persons
who had given the scheme away, and
because these reporters would not re
veal this non-essential secret, they
were unsuccessfully prosecuted for
contempt.
We can see no difference In point ot
sanctity between the professional con
fidences of the reporter and those of
the doctor or the priest. It is as much
a hindrance to Justice for the clergy
man or physician to decline to testify
in a criminal trial as It, would be if
tho reporter were also to refuse. All
should be privileged or none. That a
reporter should be subject to subpoena
Just like any other witness concerning
matters within his own knowledge,
that Is to say, with reference to facts
which he knows at first hand, is read
ily admitted, for In such matters he
stands on a par with all other specta
tors of a crime; but that ho should
be subject to punishment for declining
to violate the confidences of his pro
fession, for refusing to betray thoso
who have placed trust In his honor,
Is Intolerable. Such a liability cannot
be defended.
Announcement Is made that tho Sun
duy World has been purchased by Con
troller Robinson, Treasurer Boland
and Poor Tax Collector Finn, the first
two Democrats, tho latter a Republi
can. Mr. M. J. O'Toole will continue as
editor and Capt. U. E. Morris will have
charge of tho paper's business Inter
ests. It Is not stated what tho po
litical pollry of tho paper will be. but
judging from its last issue It will bo
Democratic. Tho World in theso
hands will be an Interesting publica
tion. Ex-City Chamberlain Ivlns of New
York has begun Hult against one of
Gotham's traction1 companies to test
whether a passenger from whom fare
Is collected on the platform must sub
mit to be rammed Inside a car already
too full for endurance. The outcome
of this litigation will certainly be
awaited with Interest.
One of the arguments offered In op
position to Hawaiian annexation is
that wo might better employ our ener
gies In wldenlne the markets for tho
products of tho territory we already
have. Hut we can do that too.
It is wonderful how the Springfield
Republican finds out things. Its latest
discovery Is that President McKlnley
didn't want Hawaii at all, but abrupt
ly ordered tho annexation treaty ont
to the senate when ho found that the
Republican senatorial caucus couldn't
agree on the sugar schedule of tho
tariff bill. You will notice that the
genuine Mugwump is always ready
with a discreditable explanation.
-
After all, the testing of Debs' plan
of a co-oncratlvo commonwealth will
afford the most practical of cures for
tho socialistic fever back of It.
London, during Victoria's reign, has
quintupled its population, but so long
as Americans have Chicago to point to
Ihoy won't feel envious.
It is possible that Senator Teller
wouldn't be so anxious to nominate
Tlryan In 1900 If ho thought Bryan stood
ny show.
Much ns the character of Queen Vic
toria offers for admiration it Is well to
remember that eulogy can bo over
done. If Lllluokalanl expected sympathy
she must by this tlmo be convinced
that this is a cold, unfeeling world.
A few words from nrothcr Cleveland
on the Hawaiian question would be
Inteicstlng if not important.
Secretory Sherman, it seems, will not
resign wen to verify a New York
newspaper "scoop."
Gossip at
the Capitol
Special Correspondence of Tho Tribune.
Washington, June 21.
Whom will tho Democrats of Pennsyl
vania nomlnrto for governor next year?
is a question frequently asked. It Is not
easily answered, as very little thought has
yet been given to tho question. It matters
little whom they nominate, og there Is no
likelihood of his election, although somo
people hero are of the opinion that tho
Republicans will be so divided next year
as to mako their gubernatorial nominee's
election doubtful. Granting that there
will be a division In tho Republican party
In Pennsylvania next year, what shapo
will tho Democrats of that stato find
themselves In when It comes to nominat
ing and electing a governor? Tho Pennsyl
vania. Democracy was never so hopeless
ly divided us It Is today. On the leading
question silver tho Democrats are very
fnr apart so, far, In fact, that there is no
hope of the breach being closed as long
ns that Is the lsrue. The followers of Mr.
llarrlty are as sound on the money ques
tion as are the Republicans, and they
will never consent to take tho free sliver
medicine which tho opposition will pre
scribe at tho next stato convention. If
the Democrats of f old Keystone state
aro wise they will not Insert a. single
plank of the Chicago platform In their
next stato platform. They will steer clear
of that foolish declaration, and go to the
people on itnto nud local issues. Just as
their brethren in Now York and other
states ara doing.
nut whom will tho Democrats nominate
for governor? That Is tho question.
Thero will no doubt bo many members of
that party who v 111 bo willing to offer
themselves to sacrifice, with tho faint
hope that tho Republicans may get Into
a family row, which will result In tho de
feat of their candidate. Such a thing,
however, is almost beyond tho range of
probabilities. The names discussed among
Democratic politicians here In connection
with tho gubernatorial nomination aro
ex-Congressman Joe Sibley, of Franklin;
James M. Guffcy, the millionaire oil op
erator, of Pittsburg; ex-Congressman Si
mon P. Wolvcrton, of Northumberland
county; ex-Congiessman James Kerr, 6f
Clearfield; Slate Chairman Gaiman, of
Luzrrno county; Lawyer DeWItt, of Brad
ford county; ex-Stuto Senator Henry
Cochran, of Wllllamsport; ex-Attorney
General Ilensel, of Lancaster, and sev
eral other lesser lights. The first four
named nre considered tho strongest Dem
ocrats In tho state, any one of whom
would como as near polling the full Dem
ocratic vote as anybody who could bo
named. Sibley and Guffey are both rich,
and would be able to furnish the neces
sary "sinews of war." Mr. Wolvcrton Is
probably tho ablest man In the list. As a
lawyer ho has few equals and no su
periors In tho state. Mr. Kerr Is regard
ed as ono of the shrewdest business men
as well as tho cleverest politician in his
party. Ho would havo tho solid support
of the Bryan Democrats In tho state, ns
well as a largo personal loliowing of busi
ness men, irrespective of political belief.
Of course he corid not expect the earnest
euptport of tho llarrlty wing of the
party, as he has always led tho opposition
against tho ox-natlonal chairman. Up
would, however, bo able to poll as many
votes as any Democrat.
Senator Teller, of Colorado, tho man
who led the bolters from tho St. Louis
convention lasi year, and who went over
body and breeches to the Democratic
party, has returned to Washington after
an absence of several weeks. He thinks
Bryan is the legitimate and logical candi
date of the silver forces for president in
1900. He says that everywhere tho young
Nebraskan is a. great favorite, and were
tho presidential election to como off th's
fall Bryan would bo elected by as large
a mujumy us was .uemmey lasi year.
A prayer ought to be a solemn thing.
It was anything but solemn in tho sen
ato a few days ago. Rev. Hugh Johnson,
of this city, was tho acting chaplain. In
the course of his prayer ho thanked God
for the glorious era of prosperity which
was sweeping over the country. Senator
Jones, of Arkansas, whose head was rev
erently bent, smiled as these words fell
upon his car. He could not help It. Sen
ntor Vest almost laughed out loud. All
tho Democrats wero visibly amused, nor
was thero a seber faco among the Repub
licans. It was qulto evident that the
senators regarded tho clergyman's grati
tude as being a llttlo premature.
There are somo remarkable men In the
employ of Uncle Sam. For memories It '.s
doubtful If their equals ran be found any
where In tho world. Mr. Ainsworth R.
Spofford, tho librarian of congress, Is one
and another Is .Mr. Amzl Smith, super
intendent of tho senato document room.
Both have occupied their respective posi
tions for many years, and they are won
ders In their line of business. Of the
many thoutands of voit.mes to be found
in tho congressional library there is not
a slnglo ono with which Mr. Spofford is
not familiar. If you aro In search of In
formation, and do not know exactly where
to find it, all you havo to do is to Indi
cate in tho slightest manner what you
want, and if It Is in the library Mr. Spot
ford can furnish It. If It Is a poem from
a noted or obscure author and you can
repeat a lino or two of it Mr. Spofford
will promptly name tho writer, repeat the
vorses from first to lost, then walk over
to a corner In the vast library and pick
out the volumo desired. At present tho
congressional library Is eo ovecrowded
that many thoutands of volumes are piled
up In every nook and corner in the li
brary building. But Mr. Spofford knows
whero every book or pamphlet Is and
can put his hand on It In the dark. Mr.
Spofford Is now over 70 years of age, but
his memory Is as cle.ir and bright as It
was thirty years ogo. He Is truly a won
derful man, and his death would bo an
irreparable loss to the government.
Mr. Amzl Smith Is almost equally as
wonderful u man for memory as Mr.
Spofford. He knows everything that
comes under his department. If you
should walk Into his "den" In tho senato
wing of tho capltol some day and ask
him If a report was not once niado on the
commercial relations between the United
States rnd tho British North American
.colonies ho will without moving out of his
chair, tell you that It can be found In
senate document No. 112 of tho first ses
sion of tho Thlrty.second conress. The
other day a senator entered tho senate
document loom,
'How aro you, Amzl?" ho said as he
dropped Into a chair. "How did you learn
all that you know? I believe you could
ovon tell tho number of tho report which
Noah malo ot the animals In thn ark."
Mr. Smith said never a word, but swung
around In hi chair and reached for a
book on his stand.
"All of our old reports," he said, "were
burned when tho llrlt!sh destroyed the
rnpltol In 1814, but hero Is a copy of tho
Ulble. You will find Noah's report on his
animals In Genesis, tho fifteenth chapter
and the sixth verse."
Mr. Smith was bem on n. farm near
West Newton, Westmoreland county, l'a
over 00 years ago. He has been superin
tendent of tho senato document room
nearly thirty years. Ho was appointed
to his present position through tho Influ
ence of Simon Cameron. Nothing short
of death or resignation will ever tako him
from his .position, as his services are In
valuablo to the senators and every cm
ployo on both sides of tho capltol.
Senator Penrose was the first to Intro
duce a. fan in tho senato chamber this
session. On Thursday last ho appeared
on tho floor with an Immense palm leaf
which ho used vigorously during all the
tlmo he remained In the chamber. Ho
also used a big bandanna handkerchief
qulto as freely to mop his feverish brow.
Tho Junior Pennsylvania senator has not
yet donned his tow suit and negllBce shirt
which It has been his custom to wear In
hot weather. Senator Quay wears a light
drab suit theso warm days.
HOLIDAYS TO SPARE.
From tho Philadelphia Press.
Tho holidays law of tho stato has been
tho subject of amendment at each session
of tho legislature for tho past twenty
years. The present legislature has passed
a mcasuro which brings all tho holidays
under ono law, with a uniform rulo for
their observance on tho Monday following
when their date falls on Sunday, and It
adds a now holiday to the list Lincoln's
birthday, February 12. By tifo same act
Labor Day is llxed on the first Monday
In September, to accord with tho federal
law and tho Labor Day law of all tho
other states which have such a holiday.
Tho February election day Is made a
whole, holiday instead of a halt holiday,
as heretofore.
When tho bill, which passed finally last
week, is signed by tho governor, Pennsyl
vania will have ten legal holidays in ev
ery year, viz., New Year's Day, Lincoln's
birthday, tho February election day,
Washington's birthday, Good Friday,
Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor
Day, tho November election day and
Christmas. In addition every Saturday
afternoon is a legal halt holiday. This
list represents more legal holidays than
there will be actual holidays. The banks
will close on tho Oatcs Indicated by law ns
holidays, but on nt least six of these ten
holidays tho great majority of the popu
lation will pursuo their accustomed vo
cations so far as tho closing of the banks
permits. Memorial Day, Independence
Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas
aro tho four real holidays of tho year.
Tho rest aro quasl-holldays, observed by
a, few and by thoso few for a small part
of tho day only. Perhaps we shall grow
up to tho full list.
Ten real holidays in a year are not too
many If properly distributed. It is to bo
observed that three of our ten holidays
como in the month of February, while
tho months of June, August and October
havo no full holiday, and Mftrch and
April dlvldo tho honors of Good Friday
between them. It may bo found wise to
make- a better distribution of holidays
hereafter, but for somo tlmo to como it
would bo wise to let tho subject rest
and give the people a chance to grow up
to these holidays if they can. At any
rate, no moro holidays should be added
on any pretense. Wo havo sufficient and
to spare,
OF INCALCULABLE VALUE.
From the Washington Post.
Wo have always advocated tho annex
ation of Hawaii, behoving thut in the
equation of our commercial expansion
Buch a' factor as Hawaii is supremely
Important If not actually Indispensable.
It seems to us that wo could do nothing
wiser In tho way of trade development
fhantosecure possession of this key to all
tho great ocean pathways of the Pacific.
To tako possession of Hawaii is to con
trol tho pathways of commerce over twa
thlrds of tho globe, to hold tho focus of
tho steamship und telegraph lines of
three great continents, to tako toll of ev
ery mercantile enterprise between Cal
cutta and San Francisco, between Mel
bourne and Hong Kong, Thero Is, be
sides, a military consideration of which
wo must not lose sight. With Hawaii ns
a basis of offensive and defensive opera
tions we should bo Inilnitely strength
ened on our Pacific coast. Wo should bo
far better equipped than we now nre for
self-protection or attack. The value of
tho arrangement would be Incalculable.
WHAT, INDEED.
From tho Troy Times.
What is tho use of fertilizing bushes
for other people to pick the berries? If
tho United States Is to represent simply
defensive and not aggressive republican
Ism, let It pull In Its Monroe shingle and
leave the canaries of budding republics
to be swallowed by tho tigers of greedy
monarchies. There Is always a tendency
to look a gift horse In the mouth. But
the animal may be a good horse even
though a dark one, and serviceable for
an outrider for the republican cha'Iot.
UNJUST TO THE CALF.
The editor of the Jaytown War Whoop
picked up ono of his metropolitan ex

"The charming soubrotte, Eva Hollis
