SCRANTON, JULY 2. 1897.
Uccauso Senator Hanna said In his
speech nt Toledo In reference to the
civil service laws tlmt many persons
now In Washington regard as unjust
President Cleveland's manipulation of
them to foist Democratic appointees
upon the succeeding Republican ad
ministration, the senbltlvo Mugwumps
no In a tremor. They are calling
Hanna a spoilsman and arc hurling
anathemas nt him. Yet didn't he speak
the truth?
To the Chief of Police.
There Is an ordinance on the books
forbidding wheelmen to ride on the
sidewalks. Why Is It not enforced?
The streets of Scranton, with very
few exceptions, am ample to accom
modate all those who ride bicycles. The
sidewalks, us a rule, aro so narrow
that If the wheelmen arc permitted to
pre-empt them, pedestrians will neces
sarily have either to take to the gut
tors or dart furtively through the back
alleys.
It Is true that the race of pedestrians
is fast disappearing. Only a few of us
arc left. We don't want much. We
don't expect much. Just a crumb of
consideration will do. The wheelmen
can take the roads, tho crossings nnd
the open spaces generally. But please,
Mr. Robllng, let us poor pedestrians
have an occasional chance to use the
sidewalks.
"I would," writes a correspondent of
the Sun, "like to see a chair of Ameri
can patiiotlsm endowed In every col
lege in the land." There uro not as
many members of the present facul
ties of our colleges who could accept
tibly fill such a chair as there ought to
lie.
Tho Legislature.
If the legislature had only got down
to a serious and sober business-like
mood earlier In the session, It would
have spared Itself much opprobrium.
It wasn't half so bad a legislature In
actual performance as It was In sur
face symptoms. Tho quarrel over tho
benatorship divided It at the very be
ginning, suspicions were engendered,
leadership was distrusted, and until
Klern necessity toward the last whipped
it In line, It acted until that time like
u rudderless ship or an uncommanded
army, frittering Its energies away,
tumbling over Itself and actually do
ing nothing.
Individually tho character and ability
of the session were above tho average.
Jlost of tho men In It were men of
standing at homo and comparatively
few were drones or rogues. But for
the confusion into which factionalism
drew It It would doubtless have made
a new record for Intelligence and In
dustry. The clrcumstanco supplies a
forcible lesson that to accomplish cred
itable results It Is necessary these days
to have leaders and leadership, and the
will of the leader must bo obeyed. Be
cause It refused to follow leadership
and scattered out like a flock of sheep
minus the bell, whether the legislature
which adjourned yesterday earned a
contempt from the people which It
might easily have averted and fell Into
bogs that were dug for it by Its own
obstinacy.
California has passed a law which
will take effect Jan. 1, 1000, making
compulbory tho use of wide tires on
heavy vehicles. A state may with pro
pticty do this after It has spent Its
good money to Improve the roads.
"Rotation in Legislative Office.
The Wllkes-Barre Times makes a
strong argument against rotation In
legislative ofllce, by pointing out that
both at Harrlsburg und at Washington
ahzerne county has suffered because
of tho lack of experienced representa
tives. The practice In Luzerne coun
ty, especially as to the congressmen,
has been to turn the legislative olllces
over Into new hands every two or four
years, on the principle that political
honors should be passed uround. Thus
by the time a member has learned the
ropes and gets In position to put his
knowledge of tho way3 and mean's to
effective use for hla constituents, the
latter usually proceed to spoil the cli
max and sacrifice their own interests
by replacing him with a fresh and
unsophisticated man. To use our con
temporary's language and illustration:
Half a dozou bills have been Introduced
In us many different sessions of congress
appropriating various sums for a public
building in Wlllces-Barre. Every possible
urgarpout has been. In favor of theso
measuren. Tho age, sJzo and Importance
of-our city entitles us to a federal build
ing. The government needs It by reason
of tho amount of us direct business trans
acted In our territory. Yet these various
bills have never succeeded In getting fur
ther than one branch of tho national leg
islature. Other towns of less size and
consequence have meanwhile received
large appropriations for buildings for
which thero was much less need. Yet wo
continue on In the same old rut, stupidly,
blindly making th election of a congress,
man so difficult and expensive and threat,
enlng that his canvas for a renomlnatlon
and election Bhall be equally severe, or
refusing him a hearing altogether, that
he Is frightened oft from a second effort.
What s most needed In the Twelfth Con.
gre'sslonal district of Pennsylvania Is a
little more business sagacity and political
f6reslght. Wo should seloct somo good
man of ublllty and leisure, one who Is
possessed of some means and lots of en
ergy, nominate him without effort on his
part nnd eloct him without compelling
him to surrender a king's ransom for tho
questionable honor and keep him In con
gross pntll ha gets results, whother It
take, thro or tlvo or ten terms. When we
do this, we will cut some figure at Harris,
burg nnd Washington, but not before.
We havo no expectation that argu
ment llko this will produce any change
In the situation, yet the advice offered
by the Times Is sound. When a mem
ber of a legislative body has dono good
work and behaved himself, ho should
to re-elected If ho wants to be, and
that re-election shouldn't cost him so
much its to drive hint Into bankruptcy
or dishonesty. Length of service counts
nine points whoro natural ability
counts only one. The men who Rovcrn
leRlslntlon nrc men who have been re
tained In ofllce by their constituents
term after term until they have at
tained the broad experience requisite In
the successful parliamentary leader.
These remarks, wo may add, nro not
offered with an eye to any particular
Individual or any particular district;
they arc simply the deductions of com
mon sense.
Over In Canada tho senate Is com
posed of members who nro appointed
for life. The body Is now Conserva
tive, although the housoof representa
tives nnd tho popular majority nro Lib
oral. Tho other day the senate killed
a government measure nnd now tho
Liberals talk of abolishing It. Things
at Ottawa nrc In a pretty muss, but It
all goes to show that tho life tenure
plan Is Incompatible with popular gov
ernment. Lackawanna at Harrlsburg.
Wo have henrd It raid that Lnckannnnv
county la more successful than Luzerne
In securing state appropriations for her
chnrltlfs, particularly her hospitals. This
year at least such Is not the caso as can
bo seen In the following summary of tho
money appropriated for tho hospitals In
tho two counties by tho present legisla
ture: LUZDUNH COUNTY.

Me tho percentage of Larkawanna of
what was applied for. In tho nature of
things thli yenr It was not possible that
any liberality should have been shown lti
any direction. Wilkes-Barro Times.
The fair wny to go at this thing is not
to contrast what was asked for with
what was got, but to compare what
was got this session with what was se
cured two years ago. On this basis the
account stands:
LURBHNi: COUNTY.

Thus, while Luzerne's allotment was
smaller this session by $10,000 than It
was two years ago, Lackawanna's
was $3,000 larger. This was one of tho
very few counties In the state which
received more state aid for charities
from the session of '07 than from the
sesaiaa of "93.
Announcement Is made by the New
York Sun that not within the last fif
teen years has Its circulation been so
great as It is now. Not within tho last
fifteen years has the Sun better merit
ed this prospeiity. It Is Indeed an In
stitution of which Americans should
feci sroud.
The New Libel Law.
Tno vital clause In the new libel law
Is that which specifies that "In any
civil action for libel the plea of Justi
fication shall be accepted as adequate
when It Is pleaded by tho defendant
that tho publication Is substantially
true in every material respect and 13
proper for public Information; and If
such a plea shall be established to tho
satisfaction of tho court nnd Jury, there
shall be no recovery. In no civil ac
tion for libel shall damnges be awarded
beyond Just restriction for Injury ac
tually sustained."
As the Philadelphia Times explains:
"a person who has been Injured by a li
bellous publication Is entitled to resti
tution for any Injury actually sustain
ed, but he Is entitled to no more. Tho
punishment for the wrongful act Is
provided In tho criminal proceedings.
It Is under this wrongful system of
punitive and vindictive damages that
the shyster lawyers have flourished,
Inciting people of no character or repu
tation to Institute suits against news
papers for preposterous damages for
Imaginary wrongs. The new act cuts
all this practice up by the roots and
places the law of libel, In this respect,
upon tho baEls of Justice and tight."
Heretofore there were two form of
punishment for one offense; criminal
action involving line or Imprisonment
or both, and also punitive damages.
The putting of the publishing business
on a footing with other defendants in
court Involves no Injustice; there Is no
lessening of the Just restraint of tho
law upon wanton and malicious libel.
As tho days go by It becomes clenr
that Dlngley's was the proper bill, und
that Dlngley's bill It will Anally be,
despite tho linkers In tho senat.
Sensible and to the Point.
Because; In the city of Reading, In an
examination of grammar school pupils
preparatory to their admission to the
high school, the following questions
were recently asked, a chorus of de
rision is arising In boine of our con
temporaries: Dtbcrlbu In detail tho nomination and
election of e. president of tho .United
States.
State In outline tho topics treated In tho
dlffeitnt sections of Aitlclo I. of tho con
stitution of tho United States.
What is meant by speclo payments?
When last suspended? Why? When re
sumed? Why? AVhat Is money? Is a
live-dollar bill real money? Why7 Is
confederate paper money of any valuo
now? Why? What gives value to puper
money? How dtd Union victories and
defeats affect tho price of tho gold dollar
in paper currency? Reasons? What ad
vantage has paper money over coins?
Discuss tho silver question.
Treat two of thero topics: MoKlnloy
bill, reciprocity, Wilson bill, Dlngloy hill.
Factory system. Labor strikes. Discuss
two of these topics (u) United States and
the Hawaiian republic. Should It be an
nexed to the United States? Why? lb)
Australian ballot system, (c) Arbitration
treaty with England.
Stato conditions that ted to the adoption
of tho thirteenth amendment to tho con
stitution of the Utdted States and Its pro.
visions. Seme fourteenth amendment.
Same fifteenth amendment. State what
you know of any additional amendments
advocated in recent years.
It Is, for exnmple, tho belief of the
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
that theeo questions "merely Indicate
that a vust cramming experiment has
been attempted. Children of from fif
teen to seventeen years old who could
'pns' such an examination would bo
prodigies fit to enlighten congressmen
nnd editors. Perhaps Heading has an
ambition hat her youth Bhall be fully
equipped for shaping tho destinies of
the nation. Certainly, a good start
has been made so far as laying out the
programme Is concerned, but probably
a brilliant success will not bo record
ed when tho returns nre all In, Mean
while It may bo depended upon that
many a young bjoln In Heading Is
weary from Its groping among subjects
that might well tax tho capabilities of
maturo nnd disciplined 'minds."
We do not share our Rochester ex
change's opinion upon this matter.
Tho questions Impress us as being In
no sense more difficult nnd much more
practical than the old-fnshloned ex
amination questions which dealt chiefly
with trigonometry, the map terms of
1'atngonla, Greek, Latin and nnclent
history. If young brains In Reading or
elsewhere nro to be wearied at all by
examination questions wo cannot see
why they should not b wearied with
subjects likely to fit in with their prob
able destiny when grown older, rather
than with tommyrot never heard
outsldo the school room. It Is
not to bo expected that tho
opinions of grammar school pu
pils will bo final on tho questions
propounded above, but the study of
them nffords Just ns good discipline as
the. study of much of the pointless
tiuck that encumbers tho old-fogy cur
riculum, and Is moreover calculated to
be of some advantage In after life.
When a similar lino of studies was
Introduced in tho Scranton schools by
Superintendent Howell two years ago
there was In certain quarters the same
attempt to bo funny; but wo aro pleas
ed to observe that this has since ceased.
The fact Is dawning upon the public
mind that It Is quite ns desirable to
have school children educated concern
ing every-day problems and duties as
It Is to have them stuffed full of a parrot-like
memorization of text-book
stuff of which their brains have to be
summarily unloaded as soon as they
complete tho school course.
An "American Girl" writes to La-
bouchere's London Truth in protest
against the kind of peers now being
turned out by the knighthood works at
Windsor castle. Most of those slated for
titles are married, whereas the de
mand, especially in America, Is for
more unmarried peers, peers who are
eligible as husbands for our American
heiresses. "American Girl" suggests
to the queen that If she wants to bind
the two branches of tho Anglo-Saxon
family more closely together, she
should choose hernext batch of knights,
barons and carls from among the
spendthrift guardsmen, pauper diplo
mats and penniless younger sons of the
noble families of Britain, thus opening
up new matrimonial opportunities and
facilitating English ownership of
American property. If Victoria is the
thrifty woman report says she Is, this
wise advice will not fall on unheeding
ears.
NOT JUST TO OUR SENATORS.
From the Lancaster New Era.
The average man It prone to reach con
clusions that aro not always Justified by
tho facts of tho case. Especlully Is thl3
the case In questions whtro his personal
Interests or political feelings nro con
cerned. If clthet happens to bo touched
unfavorably or disagreeably, ho Is not
slow to express hla dissatisfaction, with
out giving even a single thought to the
underlying motives that may havo called
forth tho unsatUfactory action. This Is
moro especially tho case in political af
fairs. Nowadays every man Is con
sciously, or unconsciously, more or less
of a politician. ISy this wo mean ho is apt
to havo his particular views on most of
tho political Usue3 of the day, and us a
mntter of coutso his views aro rl?ht,
whllo all others are likely to be wrong.
Just now Pennsylvania's representatives
In tho United States senato are being
subjected to a. hot Are of criticism. This
criticism is directed, not so much to what
they do, as to what they fall to accom
plish. With tho ordinary fallings and
shortcomings of these men wo have noth
ing to do, but we do think that at tho
piesent time they nre visited with an un
deserved amount of harsh criticism.
o
Have theso critics and assailants ever
paused to reflect that the position of the
senators from Pennsylvania on the pres
ent tariff question is. more troublesomo
and perplexing than that of senators from
any other htato in tho Union? Perhaps
not, nnd yet such is the fant. Thero nre
other states that aro as Btrongly wedded
to the doctrine of protection ns Pennsyl
vania Is, but there Is not one In the
whole sisterhood tliut bus so many til
verso Interests to be cared for. Some of
tho New England states have tho cotton
nnd woolen Industries, which they strive
to havo cared for in the rearrangement of
the new tariff. Louisiana has sugar and
so has California. South Carolina and
Louisiana have ilco; 'Maine and Michigan
and Oregon and Georgia have lumber:
California has dried fruits; New York
and some of tho western states have the
dairy Interest; Kansas and Illinois have
corn and wheat: a dozen states havo to
bacco. All tho test have one, peihaps
several, other Industries, nnd form com
binations that will givo them what they
want.
Rut how Is It with Pennsylvania? Her
interests aro more dtverjlfled than those
of any other state perhaps more than
thoso of any other half doicn.Look at her;
look at her lion and steel Interests; look
nt her great glpss factories; she Is Inter
ested in lumber; her coil Industry far ex.
ceeds that of any other state; the Is In
the dairy business; she grows great crops
of tho ceieals, wheat and corn, besides
other grains; look at her ship building
Interests on tho Delaware; In tobacco
growing and tho claar Industry she leads
all her northern sisters; she has many
cotton and woolen mills, and her great
carpet manufactories glvo her a close in
terest In wool. AVhat other common
wealth can make such a showing? She
unites In herself the Industries of nearly
all tho other states. Every one of these
Interests looks to her United States sen
ators to bo taken care of. Senators from
other states have a single industry to
look after, ours have a dozen, and all
aro Important ones. Then, too, she has
on her soil tho manufacturer as well as
tho producer of raw materials. Theso
interests are In many cases far from
identical; In feet, generally they aro di
rectly opposed to caeh other. Tho sheep
owner wonts u high tariff on wool, while
the manufacturer of carpets and woolen
cloths a low one or none at all. The iron
and steel manufacturer asks for protec
tion to his products, while tho railroads
and users of machinery demand low cus
tom rates on manufactured Iron and steel
goods. Not cue of all theso interests
cares a snap for any other. Pure sel
fishness controls every one of them.
D.ich ono of them strives to make Its own
point, utterly Indifferent to the demands
or needs of every other.
AH these varying Industries have gone
to Washington and have Interceded with
our senator for what they want. The
maker of iron wants a low duty or none
at all on foreign ores; the domestlo Iron
ore produrer wants a prohibitory tariff
on the samo material. Roth cannot bo oc
commedated. It resolves Itself Jnto a
question of give and tako nnd then our
senators aro denounced as having voted
In favor of tho foreign producer or agaliut
the native manufacturer, as the case may
be. Lot us bo reasonable; let us try to
bo Just. Men cannot successfully be on
both sides of a question not even UnlleJ
Btntts cetintors. They must do tho best
they can. They must be diplomats; they
must give something to Louisiana In or
der to got something for Pennsylvania,
They must compromise. Interests con
flict. They must be reconciled as well as
they can be. Nb otio knows what thought,
what planning, what labor Is required to
accomplish that, nnd yet wo aro moro
ready to denounce than to thank those
who do It, Onco moro wo sny, let us bo
reasonable. Let us try to be Just. No
senators among the entlro ninety have
such a hard row to hoe as our own none
has (.o many Interests to look after.
Often, If we know the true Inwardness of
tho caso wo find fault with, we would bo
disposed to pralso rather than to blame,
as wo generally do, when things don't
suit us.
NOT I'AIK.
Prom tho Byracuto Post.
A number of newspapers have been
criticising President McKlnley for his re
cent appointment of a eon of Senator
Quay to tho position of assistant quar
termaster with tho rank of captain in tho
army. Lieutenant Quay graduatol from
Wt-st Point in 18&S and tho president's
critics assert that in appointing him cap
tain he was Jumped over the heads of
ono hundred nnd twenty lieutenants in
tho cavilry, seventy-five lieutenants In
tho artillery, and seventy-eight lieuten
ants In the infantry. Of this criticism It
may bo said, as it Is said of much so
called news, It would bo very Important
If true. But In their eagerness to rebuke
an assumed favoritism based on the pa
ternal pull, tho critics show their Ignor
anco of the factB In tho case.
The appointment of Lieutenant Quay
Is not to a captaincy in the line, but on
the staff. Therefore he does not Jump
over tho heads of any of his associates in
the army. A young man who Is appoint
ed to a staff position In tho quartermas
ter's department Is given the rank of cap
tain, but that Is tho lowest grade of com
missioned ofllcer In the department. Statt
appointments In the quartermaster's, pay
master's nnd commissary departments aro
sometimes mado from prlvato life, some
times from tho regular army. President
Harrison appointed his private secretary.
Klljah Ha'jford, a paymaster, but he did
not thereby Jump mer tho heads of any
score of hundred officers of the line. Lieu
tenant Quay is appointed from the line to
the staff, but to tho lowest grade In the
staff service In tho quartermaster's de
partment. Tne young man has pioved
his ability nnd worthiness, and that being
so, why should ho not be appointed If the
president has a vacancy to nil?
The fact that he Is the son of a United
States senator, a former chairman of tho
Republican national committee, and one
of tho leading politicians of the United
States, ought not to disqualify a young
man for an attractive staff appointment
provided he Is competent for and worthy
of the place.
GROWING DIFFICULT.
From Medicine and Science.
The germ theory r.s first promulgated,
was delightfully simple. It amounted to
this: Every contcglous disease Is due to a
specific germ; no microbe, no disease;
eliminate the microbe, cure tho disease.
This was a plain statement which all
could understand, but further experience
proved that exceptions wero continually
cropping out, and the conditions upon
which theso exceptions depended were
found to bo moro and moro complex and
perplexing. Of late Doctors Roux and
Metschnlkoff, and the Chemist Duclaux,
successor to Pasteur ns director of tho
Pasteur Institute, each of them working
separately, after many experiments and
much study, have all come to about the
same conclusion, which they have formu
lated aa follows: Cases In which the mi
crobe Is found but not the disease aro es
pecially frequent, so that bacteriologists
hae come reluctantly to recognize that
not the presence of tho germ but some
peculiar virulent condition of tho microbe
causes tho disease. In other words, the
diseased condition seems to bo common
to both the gcim and the patient tho
germ does not cause the malady until It
itself first becomes diseased, and the pro
blem which really confronts us Is to llnd
out what alls the microbe.
UNCLi: SAM A MODEL.
From tho Hazleton Sentinel.
The convention to framo a constitution
for the "Commonwealth of Australia,"
will meet again in September, at Sydney.
The 3teps preliminary to union were taken
at Adelaide, before the representative!, of
the different states adjourned a few
weeks ago. It is of vtry great Interest to
note that the Australians, when they
Rought a model for their now federal gov
ernment, turned to tho United States.
With a view of satisfying the smaller
colonies each state, no matter what Its
slzo, Is to have the same representation
in the senate, and not two but six mem
bers. The lower house Is to bo consti
tuted on a population basis. Quite In con
formity with the American system of
nomenclature, the two chambers aro to
be called the scrate and house of repre
sentatives. Again, an American prece
dent was followed when It was determined
to give the house tho power to Inltlato
money bills. Tho convention has also en
deavored to set up a l'cuorai joun 01 Ap
peals, occupying a unique position similar
to our Federal Supremo court.

Tho Pennsylvania senato has passed an
