The New Tariff Bill.
Undoubtedly the first essential In a
tariff system Is that It shall produce
nufllolent revenue. On this point all
economists asree. The new tariff bill
now In conference nt WanhJnston will,
It Is believed, do this, probably from
the moment of Its enactment, but cer
tainly when the volume of Imports
mined In In advance of Its enactment
shall have been consumed. With this
fact established, a source of distrust In
the business outlook will be removed.
From the Republican standpoint tho
next requisite Is equitable protection to
American Industry and labor. This
standpoint having been Indorsed by tho
country In 1S91 and again in 1S0G, It fol
lows that the measure whloh rc-cxtends
such protection to the great bulk of
our Industries, as tho pending bill docs,
Is what tho people want, Having got
It, they will experience an Increase of
confidence nnd a new baptism of com
Jnprclal hope.
The nearness of the end of tariff agi
tation nnd uncertainty ought finally to
Impart life nnd vim to business which,
until tho tariff changes nre completed,
Is necesoatlly kept guessing. This
country Is big enough and rich enough
In the natural elements of wealth to
prosper under almost any kind of reve
nue legislation; but to do so there must
be continuity of purpose In those laws
and not a new tearing up each time tho
administration changes. Tho endeavor
of the framers of tho Dlngley bill has
been to prepare a measure which shall,
upon the whole, so nearly meet the ne
cessities of the case that, with only
minor changes from time to time, It
may stand on the statute books for a
generation. Time will soon tell how
far this aim has been realized; but nt
all events no radical departure In tnrlff
legislation need be anticipated for at
least a. decade.
These things being true, why should
not times Improve? Naturally wo need
not expect a boom. But It is reason,
able to expect steady and perceptlblo
betterment, and we believe this expec
tation will not be in vain.
There is a revival of tho report that
Senator Quay will at the expiration of
his present term retire ftom active
political leadership and work. He
probably will If his enemies will let
him; but ho Isn't tho man to retire
under fire.
Bellamy's New Book.
That Utopia has not lost Its fascina
tion despite tlu widely diffused knowl
edge that It ran have no existence In
eo1er reality Is shown by the avidity
with which the public la buying Mr.
Kdward Bellamy's second gospel of so
cialism. "Equality." A note from the
publishers, the Messrs. Appleton, in
forms us that within three days after
tho unusually large first edition was
printed, a second edition had to be put
on the press, and wo suppose that by
this tlmo a third is In the binder's
hands. The author of "Looking Back
ward" has opportunely timed the dato
of his re-appearance in the ranks of the
controversialists: the restlessness of
the multitude under tne stress of hard
times Is even more pronounced now
than It was when he made hln first
bow as an economic illusionist.
"Equality" is a sequel to "Looking
Backward." It takes up the latter's
charncteis and simply elaborates with
a greater copiousness of rhetoric the
author's original conception of a soci
ety in which all Industries aro owned
nnd operated by the nation with each
citizen 03 an oqunl share-holder and
beneficiary. In his first work Mr. Bel
lamy confined himself mainly to con
trasting the general features of our
present society with tho ideal state
which ho therein described; in the
present book he goes very far into
detail. Perhaps the strongest point In
"Equality" Is the picture which he
draws of womanhood under the imag
inary regime. No longer forced to look
to man for maintenance, and absolutely
his equal In point of earning capacity,
woman In the Bellamy republic mar
iles whom she pleases, when she
pleases and remains married only us
long as she pleases; Is strong, robust
nnd healthy, no longer cares for orna
ments, wears clothes like those of man
and is quite the Ideal creature in every
respect. As a result the social ovll
has vanished, children come only
when welcome, destitution puts no lim
it on the expansive capacities of the
rising generation and the whole atmos
phero of society Is lifted to a level of
contentment and tranquil happiness.
This simple citation of the author's
interesting halilt of reaching 100 per
cent, regardless of the Inherent frailties
of human nature must serve as a speci
men of hfa entire treatment of his
theme. With Mr. Bellamy nothing Is
Impossible. Express a wish, and by a
turn of tho wrist it Is gratified. Indi
cate an objection to his theory and,
with a wave of his wand over the im
peccable children of his facllo imag
lnaitlon, it is met. One cannot floor
such an adversary because he has all
tho advantage. "While you are dealing
with tho Imperfect factors of every
day life, he deals with flawless con
ceptions of the ideal world. The lines
of argument, therefore, can never meet.
At the same time, tho Judicious reader
can profit largely from a perusal of
Air. Bellamy'a book. No writer of our
day is a keener critic of existing social
defects. None makes more vivid the
faults which now exist. To accept In
his work what is valuable and pass
by vrhat-lVfRntastla and visionary will
be tho purpose uf discretion. TMn,
I
too, his mastery of language nnd hln
nice adaptation of words to Ideas
makes him an author to bo studied.
The Philadelphia Ledger says tho
sugar schedule of the completed tariff
hill will bo arranged by tho Hugur trust.
We'll wager that it will not be.
Better Not Take Chances,
The present commissioner of Immi
gration, Dr. Senner, has written for
one of the magazines an article which
undertakes to combat Him proposition
that the Immigration problem Is any
longer a uerlous one. He admits that
It was serious nt 0110 time In thoso
years when the annual Influx of aliens
amounted often to 800,000, many of
whom no sooner touched American soil
than they becamo charges upon our
public Institutions and prolific breed
ers of trouble. But he avers that that
time has passed, and that heavy Im
migration has been mnda practically an
Impossibility for the future.
In support of hli statement, tho com
missioner cites statistics to show that
in the fiscal year of 1895-6 tho total
number of persons landing at New
York tho port of landing of four-llfths
of nil tho Immigrants was 263.709, but
deducting from this number tho 48,801
persons who had been In the country
before and the 05,269 who came to Join
their Immediate families only 110, G3G
who may be properly called Immigrants
are left, The total immigration for the
two previous yeurH was likewise small,
and tho returns for the fiscal year Just
ended will doubtless show a decrease.
How far this article of Dr. Senner
may bo an attempt to justify his own
ofllclal work must be left to conjecture;
but In so Important a matter as (the
safeguarding of our cltlzonshlp we
don't think this government ought to
leavo very much to chance. Because
Immlgiatlon In the past two or three
years has fallen off Is not in itself a
conclusive proof that, if let nlone, It
will from this tlmo onward continue to
decline. The safer plan undoubtedly
would be to make such provision by
law that If the current should again set
In very strongly toward our shores, It
may bo met, checked and littered. Past
neglect In this direction should teach
prudence.
Because It might desfray a market
for fodder the Boers have refused to
permit electricity to supercede horse
power on the street car lines ut Johan

raldlrg such reubens.
Is Non-Partisanship Feasible?
Students of municipal problems will
read with Interest If not with approval
the article of ex-Governor Itoswell P.
Flower In the July Forum in which he
discusses the question whether non
pnrtlsanshlp in municipal affairs Is
feasible. Tho conclusion 1 cached Is that
it Is not. Says Mr. Flower; "Any
thing approaching disinterested and
successful non-partisanship In city
government, however well intended, is,
under existing conditions, almost Im
possible. I believe, therefore, that, for
tho present at least, municipal govern
ment Is safer, as a rulo, in the respon
sible hands of partisans than in thu
necessarily irresponsible and uncertain
hands of non-partisans. Illogical and
unreasonable as division on paity lines
In municipal contests may be called, I
do not see that, In Itself, it Is an evil;
I do feel that It Is often a powerful bul
wark to the cnuso of order and good
government. Where universal suffrage
prevails, ns It does In Ameilca, and no
qualification of intelligence or property
Is Imposed, It Is a very fortunate thing
that men are divided into parties, and
that the strength of the party ties Is
able to restrain the Ignorant, the de
praved, the Impetuous, from the advo
cacy of dangerous doctrines or the sup,
port of unsafe men."
Governor Flower admits that parti
san government of cities has often been
coirupt. But he contends that .when
the causes of failure of partisan munici
pal government are analyzed, it will be
found that ofllclal plunder and knavery
have succeeded chiefly when party ties
have been weakening, when Interest
in party Issues or organization has
waned, and when, by reason of such In
difference tho bad men of o party ore
permitted to stain Its good name as
well as to Ignore Its principles. The
thing then to do is to punish that party
by electing Its rival to power. The re
course to a non-partisan movement In
his Judgment offers absolutely no insurance-
of permanent betterment, for
the simple reason that even a non-partisan
movement, to succeed, inubt adopt
partisan methods and thereby opens
tho door to the identical evils it was
supposed to bar out. There is a racl
ness to this description of a non-partisan
movement which will readily be
t (.'cognized as true to life;
A Bo-called citizens' movement, spring
ing perhapn from actual und serlouj
grievances, animated by th most unsel
fish Interest, and Intent only on tho ac
complishment of good, finds Itself con
fronted with ondltlnns as they exist,
and compelled to use. In order to bo suc
cessful, tho very method which non
partlsanshlp deplores. Thl'j Is tho weak
ness of municipal niri-partlsanshlp.'Hep-resentatlves
uf flood Government clubs
nnd other civic organizations confer Uth
a view to the nomination and election of
a non-partisan ticket. Their notunl num
bers aio small Uehlnd them is, we will
Bay, an honest and praiseworthy senti
ment, with but few voted and no disci'
pllned or ramified organization. Watching
them and encouraging them Is the mis
cellaneous assortment of political "outs,"
organizations of disaffected elements,
offshoots of thu large parties, perhaps
one of tho Inrge parties itself (now In
tho minority of course), all chiefly unl
mated by tho desire for political suc
cess and tho tewards und opportunities
which come with It, willing to make
loud professions of reform, and anxiously
playing for position In a campaign to be
opened. A succession of conferences fol
lows; the first difficulty encountered bo
Ins, as a rule, not any dlffercnca among
tho parleying representatives as to the
principled or Issues of tins campaign,
for those are usually left to tho original
non-partlsuns, but a difference as to thu
proportionate representation of tho var
ious political diganlzatlons on tho ticket,
und as to thu avullablllty of the names
suggested for candidates,
Thus, at one bound, whether willing or
not, tlioae who fancy themselves develop
ing and practising their theory of non
partisanship urd plunged Into tho sume
kind of polttlrs which they have con
demned In putties. The ticket Is nomin
ated, not In convention by delegates duly
chosen after publlo notice, but In u club
corner, bv self-uppolnted nominators. It
gives thorough satisfaction to nobody;
tor It in a compromise of conflicting In
terests: the numinees nre responsible to
no ona organisation, but' each consider
himself the rtpresentatlvu of tho asso
ciation by which he wos put forward.
The candidates are not usually tho men
the reformers want: for tho Idial publlo
officer is not nlwuys a vote-getter; und,
of course, so practical a consideration as
nvallablllly Is not lost sight of oven by
these Idealists. For the head of the ticket
Ih often choen, therefore, a neutral man,
without, positive qualities, and, conse
quently, free from antagonisms, whoso
nctunl qunllncnttons for the office are un
known, however respectable he may bo
or however honest his Intentions. The
nubordltmtn places on the ticket are filled
with ex-offlni.holders out of a Job, with
men who have nerved one or another of
the component elements making up the
non-paitlean conglomerate, or with men
more or less tiustworthy and capable,
out not conspicuously fitted for the of
fices for which they nre named. The
German vote nnd the lilsh vote are not
forgotten In tho selection of candidates.
In short, the Ideal non-partlsanshlp has
become u nnn-rtescrlpt loose-Jointed par
tisanship; nominations being determined
In secret nnd by dicker, nnd elections
contested by method not perceptibly dif
fering from those which are condemned
as neerssarlly Inseparable from patty
machltiuty.
Such non-pnrtlsan movements, when
successful, usually culminate In a single
victory. As might be expected from nn
ulllatu-o between so many diverse and
uncertain elements, the results of victory
aio usually disappointing. Few so-called
non-partisan administrations survive ono
experience! they dip nnd aro born again
In dlffeicnt shapes after a lapse of time.
The untried, unknown candidates some
tlmf'H nxhlMt excellent nullifications In
office, but aro moie often administrative
failures, If not actual disgraces. Among
the officers who make up their admin
istration, thero Is not. the coheslveness
nnd harmony which usually characterize
participant? In partisan government; but
Jenlousles nnd irresponsibility bring tho
ndmlnlstrntlon Into contempt or ridicule,
nnd frustrate mutual co-operation for the
public good. The hope of renommaiion
nnd ro-eleotlof., which, In tho absence
of higher motives, Is nn Incentive toward
n good tceord, Is not present: for It Is
contrary to history and human naturo to
expect a successful remixing of such n
variety of elements; nnd tho official In
cumbent, If Inclined to bo cnrcless or un
faithful, Ignores or pervertH tho duties
und responsibilities of his office.
All this, of coutse, refprB to condi
tions n they now nre. The tlmo may
comu when a sufficient number of In
telligent nnd public-spirited citizens
can, in each cltv, be interested In the
government of that city so much that
they will spare from their private busi
ness duties the time requisite to a suc
cessful nwuiagement of politics, and
will do this, yetir In and year out, co
operating together without reference
to party lines, from n sense of duty.
But that time is not here yet; and
until It comes Mr. Flower's argument
Is that th best thing to do Is to cm
ploy tho party pystems as at present,
Insist upon the nomination of good
men, and for deviations from an honest
and efllclent pulley, hold the party re
sponsible. This position satisfies com
mon bcnse.
Pennsylvania journalism will not
soon forget the obligation under which
the managing editor of tho Philadel
phia Inquirer, Mr. Joseph M. Rogers,
placed it by his timely and effectlvo
labors at Harrlsburg in behalf ct a
Just libel law. While some of his col
leagues wero shooting editorial broad
sides into the nir, Mr. Itogeis took a
rldo to tho capltol and trained his
small arms on tho Individual opponents
of the Wll In house nnd senato with
such precision and energy that after
a show of resistance they capitulated,
the niratlvo vote was reconsidered
und the bill was passed. Mr, Uogers
had previously proved his worth as an
executive force in journalism by his
admirable work on tho Inquirer, but
In this new feat ha gives a proof which
the entire publlo may see and properly
accredit.
The Duty of the
Common Schools.
From the Opening Address or President
Charles R. Skinner at the Milwaukee
Convention of the National Educational
Association.
Recognizing tho fact that the great ma
Jorlty tho masses of our citizens ere
educated In the cemmon schools, the best
education must always furnish a thorough
preparation for lntcllgent citizenship nnd
clearly outline tho privileges und obliga
tions which It brings; the rights and du
ties of citizens at party primaries, at the
polls, and In the Jury box; must tei;h
that a properly educated man will not sell
his own vote or buy his neighbor's. Such
an education will give a closer knowl
edge of government, locul and national, a
respect for the majesty of law, obedience
to authority, love of order, veneration
for tho flag of our country, and for the
hlstoni which It represents, sued an
education will teach our children to ab
hor crime, to hate evil, and this educa
tion as It grows wIM lead them to de
nounce mob rulo and anarchy whether
they show their heads In Now York or
Chicago; will condemn lynch law wheth
er In Ohio or In Mississippi.
o
The elements of this best education ore
two: First, tho subjects which compose
the course of study and their correlation;
second tho fitness und inlluenco of tho
teacher In adusting Instruction to vury
Ing conditions. Charles Dudley Warner
onco declared that 'tho great trouble
with the syBtem'of education In the Unlt
od States Is In trying to make tho educa
tional pyramid stand on Its apex, and that
the problem of education for our people
would not be solved until wo made that
pyramid stand on Its base." When less
than one per cent, of all pupils In the
country nre In college or university. It
seems futile Indeed to fashion any educa
tional systom based on collegiate or uni
versity training. It would seem to be
more in accord with our Institutions and
tho spirit of our government and laws to
provide llrst of all for the thorough
training of every boy nnd girl in mo
United States In the elementary branches
pursued In tho primary and grammar
schools. In other words, to say that every
one of the 16,000,000 of pupils must pursue
these essential studies required for a com
mon school education, viz., reading, writ
ing, spelling, arithmetic, geography,
grammar, American history, civil govern
ment, drawing and tho underlying princi
ples of hygienic physiology. If you ask,
"Why Insist upon this course7" the an
swer Is found In the fact that thorough
Instruction in tl.ese subjects will meet tho
necessities of life, and give all tho educa
tion that W per cent, of the masses of our
children can ever hopo to obtain.
o
If this course Is to be enriched, let en
richment como through the fullness an!
richness of the equipment of tho teacher.
Let not higher branches bo forced Into
the lower grades, to crowd, mystify, and
produce superficial! y. Uy a proper cor
relation of thee studies time and oppor
tunity will bo found for thoroughness of
Instruction which will glvo to tho child
consciousness of power, and at tho same
tlmo lay a broad foundation upon which
he can bulM as high as may bo possible.
Through the equipment of the teacher,
the minds of tho children can be turned
toward tho enjoyment which a knowl
edge of nature brings, and there can be
Instilled Into their own lives that hu
mane sympathy, that kindliness of heart
which will lead them to deal gently with
every thing that has life, whether It bo
beast, bird, or flower, not from sentiment
alone, but from knowledge. Through thU
knowledge all tho children may In theory
or In reality cotne to know the delights
nnd romance of real country life, and tho
children whoso lives will bo spent upon
farms can be led to know that agriculture
Is not a drudgery, but a noblo science and
tho possible source of great happiness.
Through tho teacher, In connection with
tlicvjo studies, tho lessons of life may bo
brought home to the children through In
telligent study and discussion of current
events.
0
IT we nre to build nn educational py
ramid, let us Insist that Its base shall bo
of tho most thorough practical course of
elementary stud possible, which every
child must take. When these elementary
studies have been thoroughly mastered by
all alike, rich and poor, high nnd low, then
allow those who can, to pass on to sec
ondary studies, providing for these pupils,
ns In tho elementary grades, tho best
teachets nnd nppllanceH possible, keeping
always In view the requirements of accur
acy end thoroughness. When xcconflary
studies nre completed In high schools nnd
academies colleges and universities will
provide higher education If demanded,
nnd schools of law, of medicine, of science,
of theology, and of pedagogy, will give
the technical preparation which each pro
fession demands.
m
THE RIOTS IN INDIA.
From the Times-Herald.
The renewed reports of rioting by Mo
hammedans in India present a sinister
aspect, for tho anger of the mobs seems
to be directed not against the Hindoos
but against the government officials thein
dves. Kipling's brilliant story "On tho
City Wall" has gli'eii American readers a
hint of the ordinary rows In the crowded
big cities or India. They amount 10 lit
tle more than the conflicts In Delfast be
tween Catholic Irishmen and Orangemen
on St. Patrick's day or the 12th of July
or perhaps not as much, tor an oriental
con spread a great deal of war talk over
a ery small area of actual fighting,
while tho feud Inherited from Boyne wa
ter Is npt to be sanguinary wherever two
or three Irishmen nre gnthercd together.
When tho Hindoos pelt the Mohamme
dan procession with brickbats and tho
.Mohuii'mednns retort by Invading a Hln.
doo temple, the police are called In nnd
they soon put an end to the disturbance.
If It Is too wldespiead and violent for
them the soldiers lend a hand. But se
rlous loss of life seldom attends these out
breaks. o
But In tho present instance the trouble,
however it began, ras developed Into an
ungry demonstration nn the part of the
Mohammedans against the English
When, a few weeks ago, two Englishmen
one ar officer of the nrmy, the other a
civil servant were fired upon from am
bush as they left the club It was sug
gested that probably the assault was an
outgrowth of a itrsonal grievance of
tomo native whose domestic privacy had
been Invaded by sanitary officers during
the plague. But now thut mob violence
has succeeded the taking of reprisals bj
IndUiduals nnd word has been sent up
tho count! y to the Mohnmmtdans calling
upon them to come down nnd help their
outinged brethren, perhaps tho English
government will not dismiss the situation
In 'bo off-hand manner with wtucn an
Indian news is received "at home."
o
No doubt the measures token to abate
the famine and tho plague are near the
bottom of these dlsturgances. It is al
most a human Impossibility for men of
western laces to understand the peculler
ltles of an oriental population, while tho
latter. In their turn, nre Incapable of un
derstanding "v estern science." Mora
over, Englishmen aro not noted for a very
great delicacy In expressing their opin
ions or enforcing their laws. It seem1
perfectly natural to them to rush Into a
plague-stricken neighborhood nnd apply
tho remedies that experience has ap
proved In their own country. They tear
down buildings, burn clothing, remove
and break up families with the finest en
thusiasm, but without n traco of tact.
And "the sons of burnt fathers" brood
over their "wrongs" and conceive vain
tals of women assaulted and men mur
dered, and out of sanitary science and
philanthropy grows much work for the
deputy commissioner's dog whip.
0
If this Is all there Is to the piesent out
break it will soon be disposed of. But
thero have bepn to many stories afloat of
the coniequences of England's antago
nism to tho tultan on England's Moham
medan subjects that tho occurrences in
Bombay und Calcutta may well have a
disquieting effect. It Is true theso rumors
have not been voiced by men of unusual
understanding of Indian affairs, but wh.it
western irotter-cf-fact historian can tell
when .mischief Is brewing in the dark
and sullen population of over 50,000,000
Mohan nedars in British India?
In case of troi.fble England would bo
able to placo little reliance on tho edu
cated Europeans. Tho Hindoo schooled
abroad returns to his native land a vain,
talkative Individual, with a taste for In
trigue and patent-leather boots. The Mo
hammedan Is Wall Dad of tho Kipling
tale. Ho talks a cnlcal philosophy,
laughs at religion, quotes western poetry,
but Is ready to "gut klne In tho Hindoo
temples" on the smallest provocation.
England would have to rely upon tho fo--tltudo
nnd tklll of her own brave mon
should a serious conflict arise. That she
would be able to manage tho business no
one who knows India can doubt. Thero
Is not in history a finer example of the
power of the disciplined northern races
than the rule which a handful of blithely
Ignorant Ergllshmen exercise over the
hundreds of millions of natives, who do
not understand them and wnom tney ao
not understand, but control n the shep
herd's dog controls the sheep. The Brit
ish born population of India amounts to
about 100,000 persons. Tho English lan
guage Is spoken by about 238,000 persons.
Tho native population Is nearly 300,000,
0O0. The figures alono tell an amazing
story of what direction and courage can
do for government,
SUMMER.
Whether 'tis nobler In one's coat to suffer
The horrid temperature of midday,
Or to discard that ono excessive garment,
And thereby ccaso perspiring? To live,
to breathe
Once more: and by a single act to fleo
From misery and thoso strange, unnat

That heat oft causeth 'tis a separation
Devoutly to be wlsh'd. To feel the e.t
Mosphere, perchance tho breezoj but
here's the rub:
Whllo In this blissful state what calls
may come,
When we havo shuffled off this outer
coll.
Must give us pause; that much respect
Proximity to one's own wife demands.
In time of toll who would not shirt sleeves
show?
Who'd grunt and sweat beneath a pom
pous coat,
But that the dread of a tyrant etiquette
Ami sometimes other tyrants whoso tierce
scorn
Were better than tho sun conquers tho
will
And makes us rather wear that garb we
do
Than beard the anger that wo know well
of?
Thus etiquette makes cowards of us all;
And thus tho fear of female castlgatlon
Constrains us to resume tho cast-off coat,
