Considering a Homely Theme.
During the past few weeks the
Springfield Republican has been print
ing a valuable series of articles by
thoughtful contributors dealing with
the need of better Instruction In morals
and deportment among the young. Tho
subject Is of vital Importance andidlpj
cusslon of it cannot fall to be' widely
profitable. The tenor of tho articles
seems to point to a recent growth In
rowdyism for which most of th'SJbon
trlbutora appear to hold the schools
chiefly responsible. But this elicits
from a Holyokc, Mass., teacher a spirit
ed protest that contains many thoughts
quite as pertinent to the subject ot
proper education In Scranton as in New
England.
This teacher asserts that one cause
of tho Inferior deportment of tho young
of today as compared with tho young
forty or fifty years ago lies In the fact
that parents uie turning their children
entirely over to the school for training
and purposely neglecting to do their
own duty. "From much of the talk
that you hear," this writer says, "you
would bo forced to believe that the
school Is the only ngency in civilization.
Yet there are three exeat factors for
good that should be working together
ior the saving of the young, the home,
tho chinch and the school. There Is
work enough to be done for all these
three factors the load Is heavy enough
for all. Tho home Is the natural nur
sery, the other two being more or less
artificial. Nothing can take the place
of the home, the father and the moth
er, and when we try to do this we
are Elmply substituting An artificial
for a natural process. The home must
be first and foremost in Its lnllucnce,
nnd the other agencies must be assist
ants. "We are, theiefore, looking to tho
pchoul to do too much. Wo aro asking
It to do the work that tho home has re
fused to do, nnd that the church cannot
do because It cannot reach all the peo
pie. So bold has the home become In
this line of refusal to accept Its Bhare
of responsibility that mothers often
nend their children to school a year
before the time, and admit It Ib because
they wish to get the children out of
their way."
Coming to particulars tho Ilolyoke
writer condemns the almost omnipres
ent practice of parents In permitting
their children to loiter after school
hours and In tho evenings upon tho
Rtreetw, thus learning both Idleness and
vice; and suggests that another rem
edy would be to turn all lawbreaker
over to tho law and have them prose
cuted. "We have too much favoring
people who aro connected with educa
tional Institutions," ho adds. "There
Is no reason for this. In law all per
sons are the same, and It cannot but
have a bad Influence on. pupils U wo
give them rdason to bellevo tlioy will
be protected In wrong doing Just be
cause they are connected with boitio
school, When our schools protect their
pupils from tho consequence of lawless
ness, . these schools become promoters
of crime. It should bo a common' rlrfJ
clple of moral teaching that the 'wngeu
of sin Is death,' that tho breaking of
law has Its penalties and no one Is
exempt from Its operations. Much of
our work has been Junt tho opposite.
Many pcreons aro to Hhallow uh to
claim that pupils should he protected
when caugllt'tlfelr nume should not bo
hu:l, -etc. Very soon pupils come .to
think thej con do anything and yet go
free. Much property In school Is ln
Jured by pupils, yot thoy would never
think of doing this to property in a
mill or business house In which they
worked. A great remedy In part for
all these troubles would bo to apply
tli? law to all, whether pupils of In
fluential parents or common hood
lums "
Thcso are trite 6ubJcctB Involving
plain old moral principles that some
may deem outside the pale of a news
papers Jurisdiction; but In tho view,
as we are, of tho significant fact that
lawlessness Is Increasing thcso days
faster than decency, and that tho ona
pure for all the evils, public and pri
vate, which In thtso times occupy at
tention simmers down In last analysis
to more careful character-building In
the places where character Is supposed
to bo developed, It may not ba amiss
once In a while to consider a homely
fundamental topic nlongddc puch ex
citing up-to-dato mattern as the boun
dary Ifsuo In Thessaly und the gold
llnd along the Klondike In Alaska.
The czar now notifies the sultan that
tho latter must stop his foolishness or
tho Russian troops will cross the Tur
kish frontier. This ,1s business. Tho
same kind ot talk three montha ear
lier would have saved a deal of both
er, not to speak of many lives.
The Deeper Problem.
Tho Immigration restriction league,
an organization which has done work
of Inestimable value In stiffening pub
lic opinion In favor of a better regula
tion of Immigration, In a circular offer
ing some recent evidences why the
present congress should re-enact the
substantial features of the Lodge bill,
which was vetoed by President Cleve
land, mentions these two facts of cs
peclat Interest in this section:
The legislature of Pennsylvania has
been Investigating tho cot to tho Btate,
In Its pauper Institutions', of tho great
muss nf Ignorant and Indigent torelgnera
within Its bordcrBj nnd tho results of the
Investigation prove conclusively what tho
league hns always maintained, that the
cost to tho country of supporting alien
paupers far exceeds the amount of wealth
added to tho countrv thrnuch monev
brought In by Immigrants. The loglsla-"
tlvo commltteo n-ports that there uro
20,000 ullen paupers In Pennsylvania, cost
ing $1,500,000 per year. As u namplo of
tho state of affairs continually occurring
In Pennsylvania, tho Philadelphia In
quirer for March 1(5, 1S97, states that ot
Mxty cases for assault and battery In
the Schuylkill county criminal court In
ono session, llfty concerned Poles nnd
Hungarians.
There Is nothing surprising In these
figures to residents In the affected re
gion; tho latter have grown accus
tomed to them. Rut the presence In
tho community of this mass of unas
slmllatcd foreign material, whether it
remain technically unnaturalized or
fear the alien tax sufficiently to apply
for a certificate of citizenship valued
only as nn escape from a three-cent
Impost, should arouse enough con
cern along economic If not along hu
manitarian lines to causo a determined
effort to bo put forth for Its reclama
tion. Even should the bars be put up
against further immigration of this
character, there Is enough potential
Irritation and trouble In that already
among us to give pause to thoughtful
citizens and Incentive to earnest work
ers for better conditions.
The laws on this subject can bo
changed somewhat easily and bid fnh"
soon to be made stringent and effica
cious. Rut the great problem of in
dividual development among tho for
eigners already with us; tho problem
of fitting them as they should be fitted
for the surroundings in which they
have been placed and In which their
children must grow up this Is more
Important than the wording of any
law, and what are we doing to solve it?
Recent lynchlngs In portions of the
south hove revived tho outcry against
mob law; but If we will look at facts
as they are, ue shall seo that the In
clination in a warm climate to take
swift vengeance on tho lustful dofllers
of women and moralize afterward Is an
outcropping of humnn nature lequlrlng
more heroic reformative nnd educa
tional treatment than the occasional
utterance In a platitudinous way of
perfunctory deprecation.
It Is reported that President McKIn
ley has offered tho Russian mission to

Tho selection of this pessimistic Mug
wump and vlllfler of Republican lead
ers and ixjllcles for an office under
tho present administration would bo
an affront to every man who made

Reminiscences of
an Aged Editor
Writing from Stroudsburg to tho New
lork Sun, Ed Mott says: On July 14,
1S40, Theodore Schoch became editor of
tho Stroudsburg JclTersonlan. Ono of tho
first to subscrlbo nnd pay for tho paper
was Mrs. Eliza A. Dusenberry. A few
days ago Mrs. Dusenberry, now of New
ton, N. J paid hor llfty-sevcnth suc
cessive annual subscription to the Jef
fersonlan. To havo been so long on tho
subscription list of ono newspaper Is In
Itself a somewhat extraordinary exper
ience. To havo paid the first subscription
nnd every ono of tho succeeding fifty
six subscriptions to tho samo person as
editor nnd proprietor of tho paper Is
ono still moro unusual. Mr." Schoch, at
S3, hale, hearty, and Jolly, and still in tho
editorial harness, confidently believes
that ho Is entitled to tho distinction of
being, In point of nctlvu and continuous
eoivlco on ono nowspnper, tho oldest edi
tor In tho country, Thero Is metal typo
In tho Jeffersonlan office that has been
thero slnco tho paper was started, and it
Is doing as good service today, ns It did
neaily three-scoro years ngo. For fifty
yenrs tho paper has boen printed on a
Smith hand press No. 17C, mndo by It.
Hoo R- Co. Thero have been few editions
of tho paper of which Editor Schoch
himself has not pulled oft at least a por
tion on that press. Typographically tho
current lssuo of the Jeffersonlan re
sembles closely In nppcaranco the first
lssuo .of 1S10. Editor Schoch has never
used a patent outside or any plate mat
ter In getting out his paper. There aro
few country newspapers In tho land that
can mnke that honst. The veteran edi
tor hns set type on every lssuo of his pa
per, nnd sets typo yet.
Tho Jeffersonlan was started as a
Whig organ In a county (Monroe) whero
there wcro five Democrats to ono Whig,
nnd In a congressional district where tho
Democrats outvoted the Whigs almost
ten to one. This was tho famous Tenth
Legion of Pennsylvania. With tho ex
ception of ono at Easton, Northampton
county, there was not a Whig newspaper
In tho district, which Included all the
country from Bucks county on tho south
to Susquehanna county on tho north, nnd
was mndo up of tho present counties of
Northampton, Carbon Monroe, Pllto and
Wayne. Stroudsburg had a population of
345. Hail fences bordered tho main street
of tho village. Thero were no mall routes
In tho county except ono up tho Dela
ware valley from Easton. Tho county
looked upon a Whig as ono misguided
and Inimical to tho country's good. Soon
after Editor Schoch began publishing tho
Jeffers-onlan a leading Democrat of an
adjoining township mndo his acquaint
ance, liked him, und actually subscribed
for his paper. This Democrat had long
been Justlco of the peace for his town
ship. Ono day a constituent of his was
In his office and picked up a nowspnper
that lay on tho tabic. Looking ot it, ho
dropped It as if it had tcn a coal of fire.
It wns tho Jeffersonlan.
"Shades of Jackson, 'squire!" ho ex
claimed. "Do you take that paper?"
The 'squiro hnd to admit tho fact, and
It would have beaten htm for Justlco of
the peaco at tho next election If ho
hadn't been surewd enough to show cause
for taking tho. Whig oigan.
"To bo suro I tako Schoch s paper,
ho explained. "If I didn't take- it I
wouldn't know how ho aigues for the
Whigs. Now I know, and I can combat
him, Uy combating him I can show him
tho error of his wavs. When he sees
tho ei ror of his ways ho'll stop printing
a Whig paper. That's why I tako tho
Jeffersonlan."
Tho 'squire saved himself by this ex
planation, but somehow ho didn't suc
ceed In showing Editor Schoch tho er
ror of his ways. The audacious Whig
newspaper kept right on in that Demo
cratic stronghold. The subscribers to tho
Jeffersonlan in tho outlying townships
for years had to get their papers by the
hands of neighbors who made occasional
trips to Stroudsbuig, or by having them
left nt tho "nearest mill or backwoods
storo or tavern. Those who lived along
or near tho load up tho valley wore moie
fortunate, for tho stugo drivers who
must havo been Whigs carried their pa
pers and left them In fenco corners, hol
low stumps, nnd other leccptacles at con
venient points agreed upon.
Tho second Ilarilson campaign oc
ean ed In 1S40. Tho largest Whig voto
ever cast in Monroo county was given for
Harrison. It was 343, which wns tho
number ot subscribers on tho Jefferson
lan's books, and tho majority Harrison
had In Pennsylvania.
"So we saved the stato for Harrison,
suro enough," says veteran Editor
Schoch.
The Jeffersonlan was originally a five
column quarto. Soma years ago Editor
Schoch icluctantly added a column to
each page. Otherwise tho paper remains
much ns It was flfty-sovcn yenrs ago,
with tho samo broad and comprehensive
mission, which, during all tho3o years,
has been conspicuously announced on Its'
first page In bold German text, between
tho date lino and tho heading; "Devoted
to Politics, Literature, Agriculture, Sel
ene?, Morality, and General Intelligence."
Tho Jefferaonlan has never mlsscu an lb
sue. When tho Whig party ceased to ex
ist tho paper became a radical and un
compromising ndvocato of tho principles
of tho Republican party In the hotbed of
Stato'F Rights Democracy. Editor Schoch
has lived to seo himself on the bench as
aBsoclato judtio of Monroo county, where
2,000 Democratic majority In a poll of 3,
000 has been no uncommon thing. He has
lived to seo nnd help bring about a re
sult In tho political affairs of this same
old-tlmo Democratic stronghold which
must havo mado tho bones ot tho dKid and
gono war horses of tho country's Democ
racy turn and rattlo In their graves-a
Republican majority in tho board of coun
ty commissioners. Even more surprising,
ho has lived to seo tho old Tenth Le
gion, tho congressional district hlstorlo
for Us steadfast 10,000 Domociatlc ma
jority, roti.rn a Republican as it repre
sentative tho incumbent.
"If I should llvo to be a hundred," says
Editor Schoch, "I couldn't havo moro
glory to think of than this,"
"I sometimes think it as seeing stars
that shied mo Into nn editorial career,"
ho continues. "I started out to be a. far
mer. This was up In Pike county, in 1S33,
when I was 10. I lived with George W.
Nyco, on tho Mlltord road. One day
word came that a relatlvo of Nyce's wife
was dead at Shawnee. Bhawnee is Just
above the Delaware Water Gap. The fu
neral was to bo held next day. To get
there In tlmo tho Nyces had to stort very
early in tho morning. I got up at 1 o'clock
to go to tho field after tho horses. This
was tho morning of the 6th of November,
1SX3. And I saw a slthtl Stars wer
falling, as I thought then, as everybody
thought. The air wag thick with shooting
stars. The weirdest light that over wai
shono fitfully on tho earth, now brlghtor,
now fainter, ns tho shooting stars less
ened or Increased In numbers. Tho celes
tial pyrotechnics filled mo with awe. as
J you may well Imagine. I can't express
what my feelings wore Rut I had to get
tho horses. I wont out Intp tho lqt. (
lay between tho road and tho pelawaro
river.
"There was plcnii' of Blt. but tho
horses wero nowhorfl lp be seen. I
searched evory nook and &?!?? by tho
lbjht of tho falling Btnrs. I had k vague
Idea that tho last day had come, and vhnt
probably tho horses had anticipated It
and fled to Jersey, Out, last day or no
last day, thoso horses had to bo found;
for If It was tho last day, by delivering
thoso horsca nt tho barn my duty would
havo been dono to tho very end of time;
If It wasn't the last day, that relatlvo of
Nyce's wlfo had to bo burloJ, and tho
Nyce folks couldn't got to tho funeral
without thoso horses. So I hunted on for
tho missing animals. Tho stars continued
shooting, leaving brilliant trails of fire.
They shot horizontal) v, diagonally, perpen
dtcularlarly, and zig-zag. I wondered
why nono of them fell Into the river or
tho field. No sound accompanied tho
startling display. In fact, It seemed to
deepen the awesome midnight silence. At
last, down near tho river, huddled beneath
an overhanging bank surrounded by thick
trees tho only dark place to be found I
came upon tho horses. Their terror was
pitiful. I soothed them, nnd by and by
succeeded In getting them to como with
me. Rut a haul time I had leading thorn
across tho field and out ot It to tho barn.
They gradually becamo used to the un
wonted disturbance on tho way.
"I found tho family In a stato of trepid
ation when I went In. No ono declared
that ho believed tho end had come, but
every ono looked It. However, Mr, Nyce
and his wife drova to Shawnee, lighted
all tho way by tho most startling fiery
phenomenon that ever showed any ono
tho way, I guess, slnco tho pillar of flro
warned tho children of Israel that they
had better keep In tho mtddlo of tho road,
for thoso stars kept on shooting until dnv
llght and perhaps longer, being Invisible!
after dawn. That was tho famous and
historic fight of meteors of November,
1S33, that you read about nowadays.
"Gcorgo W, Nyco was a good man, but
ho got It Into his head, ns did many other
dwellers In that part of Pike county, that
tho shower of stars meant that ho wasn't
quite good enough. Ho concluded that tho
best way to Bhow that ho understood the
warning wns to build a church. So h
went to work, and others Joined In, ana
beforo tho year was gono they had erected
tho Dutch Reformed church at Rush
kill and hired a preacher good Dominie
Pitts. Tho church Is standing thero yet,
a plou3 creation of tho shooting stais
of '33.
"Well, that extraordinary ce!stiul dis
play mado an Impression on me, too. I
don't say that it set mo to thinking that
folks In this bailiwick needed more light,
but it seems to mo now that maybe It did.
Anyhow, next year I left Farmer Nyce,
went to 'Easton I was bom near Easton
and became an npprentlco In Hetrlch'g
Whig nnd Journal olllce. Dy tho tlmo IStO
came around I guess I must havo thought
I was ready to turn on that light, for I
had tho nerve to como hero and edit th?
Jeffersonlan, and I'vo been here ever
since. I thought the world was coming to
and end that November night In 1833, but
It kept right on. When I heard the re
sult of tho election Inst fall, nnd that a
Republican congressman wns elected In
tho old Tenth Legion of Democracy, I
guess, maybe, I paid:
" 'Tho end of things is come now sure!'
"nut It hndn't, nnd I guess the world
cand stand any kind of shaking up new."
THU COMMON SENSE VIEW.
From tho Philadelphia Press.
Goernor Hastings Is showing no pur
pofco to hunt Senator Quay; he has, how
ever, displayed a purpose not to be dic
tated to. Ho has a most responslblo duty
to perform to the people of tho common
wealth. Ho ennnot npprovo measures
passed for mcro Individual benefit and to
tally against public policy without sub
jecting himself to deseivcd criticism. He
cannot be expected to do this at one
man's urging moro than at another man's.
There is no public reason why ho shoulj
sign tho Decker bill, and ovcry public
reason why ho should veto It. Senator
Quay can nppreclnto this and respect tho
governor's position as well as any one,
though ho may bo disappointed.
