The refusal by Judge Allen Crnltr nt
StrnudsburB last week to naturalize
two aliens who couldn't tell the name
Mther of the president of the United
Btatcs nr of the goverrwr of Pennsyl
vania was a Judicial act very much to
the point. Would that nil out- Judges
would do likewise.
lie Must Go.
The Chittenden bicycle ordinance,
the provisions of which were printed
jesttrdny, seems to be a reasonable
ireasuro and Its adoption would put
the city well to tlio fore among those
lliol have brought common sense to
benr upon the regulation of wheeling.
Hut Its enactment will eolvo only a
small portion of the problem; the
gi eat question remaining is, Will It
bo enforced?
Theie are ordinances on the statuto
books now covering many of the abuses
to which bicycle riding has been sub
jected. One of those abuses riding on
the sidewalk has become very serious
in this community. Not a day nor n.
night passes that wheelmen by the
hundreds don't ride rapidly along on
the sidewalks of tho much-traveled
streets, crowding pedestrians aside and
putting children and old persons In
danger of their lives. This Is clearly
in defiance of the ordinances of the city
and it has provoked repeated com
plaints from citizens, but the police
have not attempted to make an arrest
nnd the ordinance against this practice
might therefore Just as well not bo.
All tho ordinances in the world would
fall unless vigorously and vigilantly
enforced.
If a boor dToot were to force pedes
trians off tho sidewalk it would not
be so bad; because sooner or later ho
would meet his Nemesis In some stal
wart citizen who, it the police should
shrink their duty, would take tho law
into his own hands and knock the ag
gressor down. The boor on a wheel,
however, has the advantage. Thanks
to his machine's pneumatic tires and
his invariable failure to ring a bell,
he comes upon tho pedestrian unawares
and after robbing tho latter of his
right of way is off before the victim
can administer proof of dissatisfaction.
Thus it has come to pass that neither
in the roadways, at tho street cross
ings nor on tho ostensibly reserved
sidewalks can the man, woman or child
who doesn't ride feel that ne or she
Is protected in the old-fashioned right
to walk In peace.
The problem of drafting a law which
shall equitably stand between the pub.
lie and tho careless or reckless bicycle
rider is comparatively easy to solve;
but tho problem of getting the police
department to realize that infringe
ment of tho rights of pedestrians is
just ns much a crime deserving of
vigilant apprehension nnd punishment
as is a theft of property or an at
tempt to commit aison is seemingly
much more perplexing. And yet the
fcldowalk scorcher must go.
The house of represenatives at Wash
ington Is almost as swift as a three-year-old.
1
Mistaken.
The Chicago Itecord Tiaa not hereto
fore been noted for violent hostility to
the principle of protection, but in dis
cussing the amended Dingley bill it
Kays: "It is not improbable that the
Dingley bill, If it may be so called after
Its thorough revision, will go down In
Jiistory as worse than the McKlnley
law. Thero can be no Justification at
this day for the excessively high rates
of duty which it imposes. It is a con
tinuation of war taxes in tlmo of peace
for the benefit, not of tho government,
but of private individuals. The duties
In many cases being so high as to be
prohibitive, there will bo no imports
from which tho government can de
ll vo revenue, but the taxes In such
cases will go to private Individuals In
the form of higher prices for products
and greater profits." Tho Record also
Bays; "The passage of suoh a tariff
bill at this tlmo is a violation of faith
on tho part of tho Republican party,"
In tho realm of opinion each man Is
sovereign. The editor of the Itecord is
entitled to think the Dingley bill a bad
on? and to say so If ho likes, for that U
a matter of belief. Hut he has no right
to say as a fuot what is untruo and for
which ho can produce no confirmatory
evidence, namely, that the passage of
tho Dingley bill Is a violation of faith.
Tho passage of that bill is a redemp
tion of a specific pledge embodied in tho
very beginning of the St. Louis plat
form und lclteiated in nearly every
campaign address and printed state
ment of Republican doctrine uttered in
the campaign which culminated in tho
election of the St. Louis nominees. It
is a. natural consequence of the"elova
tlon to tho presidency of William Mc
Klnley, the man whose greatest claim
to the suffrago of the American people
had to do with his life-long ndvocacy
of systematic- protection.
Whether the Dingley bill shall prove
to bo worse or better than the McKln
ley bill Is something which lime and
experience alone can tell. The Chicago
Record haa no reason to pronounce a
verdict before the evidence Ib in. A
tariff bill llku a tree must bo Judged,
not by the individual prejudices of tha
editor who passes Judgment, hut by Its
fruits. Tho Journal which snaps an
opinion In Advance simply discredits
Its own reputation for fairness. Rut if
the Dingley bill shall prove to bo any
where near so good a measure as the
McKinley bill was, it will vindicate the
wisdom of its sponsors and earn the
admiration of the country.
This year James J. Hill, of the CJrcat
Northern Railway company, expects to
ehlp 0,000,000 buohels of wheat to tho

that will rock It Into healthy growth.
Tho Imposition of a fine ot $500 and
costs itopn Rev. Dr. Silas C. Swallow
for libeling Captain Delaney In tho pub
lication In tho Pennsylvania Methodist
of sweeping und unsubstantiated
charges affecting his integrity as nn
ofilclat closes for tho present nn cpl
sodo from which no good has resulted.
Tho sentence is a merciful one. Dr.
Swallow not only committed n crime
under the law of the state, but nflor
ward glorified In It and Is today posing
beforo tho publlu as a martyr In the
cause of reform. There is consolation
In tho lightness ot his sentence only to
tho extent that it bailies his evident
purpose to turn a more drastic doom to
personal uccount.
Placing the Responsibility.
An ingenious attempt is made 'by tho
Toronto Globe to confuto Americ'an
public opinion In tho matter of tho
Uerlng seal fisheries dispute. It first
charges that the whole position of the
American state department in thlft con
troversy has been dictated by the
North Amerlcnn Commercial company,
a New York corporation which controls
practically a monopoly of the Ameri
can seal Made, nnd which has, It al
leges, from lime to tltno had influen
tial friends at court; and then it adds:
Tho whole matter seems one that Am
ericans flhoula acrutlnlzo very closely.
They have no particular reason for hack
ing up theso exigent speculators with tho
might of the commonwealth. If any right
of an Anurlcan citizen were attacked
they would bo bound to defend It with c.v
Lry means at their command, lint such
Is not tho cae. The fncts are the other
way. Tho natural right of United States
us well nn of Cnnndlan citizens to purauo
the wild beasts of tho ocean or. the high
sens is abrogated altogether, or greatly
restricted, ostensibly In tho Interest of
tho preservation of tho neat herds, but
really In the interests of a wealthy cor
poration which oppears to be on excellent
terms with tho authorities of tho foreign
department of tho United States govern
ment. Any American who Is In doubt
about the rights nnd wrongs of this ques
tion can peshaps get a moro detached
view of It by supposing that theso Islands
belonged to Canada, and that for tho pur
pose of giving a Canadian company a
monopoly of tho seal fur business it waa
proposed to so clrcumscribo the natural
right of American citizens to pursue tho
calling of catching these animals as to
practically cxcludo them from participa
tion In It. Would Americans gracefully
nccodo to such a proposition?
Laying aside for a moment tho To
ronto paper's Insinuations respecting
the motives of our government in call
ing a halt on pelagic or deep-sea seal
ing, there is a chance for an argument
in Its assertion of the "natural right"
of any nation to pursue the wild beasts
of the ocean on the high seas when by
such pursuit, unwisely prolonged, the
rights of other nations are, along with
Us own, threatened with extinguish
ment. The case ns regards the seals
amounts to this: By the greed of Brit
ish poachers the seal tribe Is well-nigh
extinguished. The other nations that
fish for seal nnd own Islands where
the seals breed namely, Russia, Japan
and the United States are willing to
Join In nn agreement looking to the
suspension of the slaughter for a
time, so that tho herds may replenish.
England alone refuses. Not only does
she refuse but she intimates that her
refusal Is none of our business, though
Indirectly it threatens destruction of
our property. Upon her will therefore
rest tho odium for such destruction
should It ensue; and the warrant for
forcible stoppago of tho unnelghborly
and porcine work Is enough to impel
any but a pacific power to measures
of sternness.
That the North American Commer
cial company Is anxious to have its
property protected as well In Bering
sea as in Broadway street, New York,
would hardly deserve to be regarded
unnatural. That the American govern
ment exists among other things for the
purpose of protecting the property of
its citizens is another proposition
which should not Impress our Toronto
contemporary as discreditable. We
do not see that the fundamental issue
is affected one lota whether one com
pany or a dozen companies, own the
American fishing rights. In either case
it is the duty of the authorities at
Washington to uphold those rights,
by argument and negotiation so long as
these forces shall suffice, and falling
them, by such additional force ns the
situation may seem to them to require.
It Is lucky from one standpoint that
tho Klondike gold territory is within
British boundaries. It saves us a boun
dary war.
m
Our British Cousins.
An opinion is expressed In the weekly
American, of Philadelphia, which Is so
pointed and which concerns a subject
bo frequently under discussion that we
venture to reproduce it herewith;
The American people, as a whole, havo
no friendship for Britain; tholr feeling
toward Great Britain Is ono of enmity,
not of loij. Tliero is nothing to be
gained by disguising the fact. Wo aro a
peace-loving nation; we harbor Ill-will for
no country but one, nnd that one Is Ure.u
Britain. And this enmity is not born ot
pasblon; it is not unreasoning. Hut ono
nation has wronged us, striven to ictard
our growth, and for that nation wo havo
not, cannot havo friendship, at least not
while sho stands politically, Industrially,
or financially In the way of our national
growth. Of what England docs wo are
jealous, wo aro scnsltlvo ot tho criticisms
of her people. To tho criticisms, tho opln
ions of other peoples, wo aro profoundly
Indifferent. It Is undenlablo that, should
tho occasion arlso, a war with Great Bri
tain would bo popular, popular as no oth
er war would be. To fight such a war ten
men would volunteer whero ono would
volunteer to fight any other foe. Men
would vio with ono another to enlist for
such a war. Thoy would do so because
they feel that Britain has not treated us
fairly, and they would selzo the opportun
ity to repay old scores. This feeling of
enmtty is not carried so far as to mako
us desirous of pleklnB a quarrel, for wo
are a justice-loving people. But tho feel
ing cf our peoplo toward Great Britain :s
such that they would bo quicker to ro
sent encroachments of Britain than tho
encroachments of any other peoplo. They
would do so becauso they look upon Bri
tain ns our hereditary foe, ever on tho
outlook to sccuro some Advantage over
us. They look upon no other nation with
tho samo distrust.
Every proposition has two sides; In
the foregoing remarks only ono side
is given. AVhat tho American, says is
true. There is, as it remarks, no good
to bo gained by trying to deny it. For
England, collectively, the American
people havo continual suspicion nnd
distrust. They havo read history,
and history teaches that whenever
English and Yankeo circles of political
interest have touched in tho past It
has been English diplomacy which has
prepared the ambU3lics, committed the'
aggressions, done -tho bullying and
manifested a sustained contempt for
American claims and rights. Tho two
governments lvavo been not unllko
game cocks waiting for an opening; a
move by one Invariable makes tho
other's feathers bristle, nnd tho look
In the eyes of each Is such that tho
wonder is only two actual wars have
characterized their Intercourse.
Hut tho American stntcn only half
tho truth. It Is a common phenom
enon of family life that brothers, while
under ordinary circumstances outward
ly Jealous each of tho other and pro
fppBlng to bo Indifferent each to the
other's welfare, need only tho touch of
some common nflllctlon or tho spur of
n fundamental experience to throw off
this superficial appearance of enmity,
nnu yield to tne prompting! ot tni in
born affection. Hero we havo precise
ly the attitude of Kngland and Ameri
ca. Deeper than all tho distrust of
Britain and more firmly tooted in the
Yankee chnractcr than all the resent
ment of what jvc conceive to bo Eng
land's ill treatment of us, Is the filial
feeling that from these same bullying,
rapacious, full-blooded Anglo-Saxons
wo derived our language, our religious
principles and our basic laws, If not a
good bit of tho hardihood of tempera
ment and physique which have sus
tained us in the upbuilding of a com
petitive empire. And whlle we, would
as readily whack their cars as tako
them by tho hand, and are disposed,
whatever tho form or the occasion ot
the rivalry, to give them as good as
they Bend, yet it Is very much in tho
spirit of tho boxer, who enjoys tho
competition in exact proportion as It
taxes tils skill and keeps his wits and
muscles on the alert.
That we should have greater friction
with our own kith and kin than with
neighbors of different blood is not un
natural, nor -does it disprove the ex
istence underneath of a common bond
of brotherhood. Nor would we have
this friction cease. It is the necessary
spice of our national existence.
Minister Woodford says lie expects nt
Madrid to havo a pleasant time. Maybe
the pleasurewill be chiefly on his side.

Times nnd conditions change. Horace

America's N?u)
Railway King
Prom tho Piovldenco Journnl.
Slnco tho stirring days when Commo
dore Vanderbllt was investing hla money
in ralhoads, and when hlK effoits to bC
curo the properties which ho was seek
ing to acquire wero being fashioned Into a
vast schemo of profit by such adversaries
as Flsk, Gould and Drew, tho country
has seen no such shifting of railroad In
vestments and ownership as it Is now
beholding In tho movements of the, Mor
gan Interest. Most of what is being done Is
characterized by silence, or, at most, by
rumors In tho stock marketB. There Is
nono of that direct buying In the street
which marked the entranco of tho un
sophisticated founder of the Vanderbllt
fortunes Into his new field of activity.
Thus, in tho absence of sensationalism,
this diversion of New York capitalistic
enterprl9o Into tho coal fields, Into tho
southern slates, and even far across the
Mississippi, is attended by no excitement
on tho part of tho general publlo and no
thrilling scenes in the New York Stock
exchange. But what Is being accom
plished Is perhaps far more comprehensive
and extensive, than all that the house of
Vanderbllt has bought to do In tho samo
legion of Industrial and financial achieve
ment. o
Thero Is every reason to bellovo that
Mr. Morgan knows exactly what he Js
about, and that his Immense venture Is a
part of the long chain of conservative
financiering which has enabled him to
stand as a growing power in high flnanco
from his. first experiences as a banker.
That Is clear from tho fact that the ac
quisition of the new Increments of his
wealth and of the capital which he con
trols has been a graaual process, and that
the extension of his Influence as a factor
In the financiering operations of the oast
ern railroads during tho last twenty years
has been In propoitlon to a moderate uso
of tho funds within his power. He ha3
not entered this dangerous or at least
risky area of business as If he were a
Monto Crlsto, or even a Vanderbllt or
Gould. His capital has been deposited
hero and thero In many properties for a
bcoro of years, and now tho system which
he has followed In making loans is bearing
fiult. In nearly every case ho has either
been called upon to acquire by foreclos
ure of a mortgage or been solicited to
take over a dUorganlzed and Insolvent
property for tho sake of tho Investors,
roreclosures have brought ownership
In fee simple, practically, nnd reorganiza
tions absoluto control through the bond
holders. 0
Mr. Morgan Is now of course reputed
to bo the financial or business manager
of tho eatlro bedy of railroad Interests
formerly looked after by the Vnnderbllts.
But his functions there It Is unnecessary
to confound with tho ownership nnd con
trol which ho (xcrcUej In the case of
other properties. The roliroads which
ate essentially in his own hands are as
follows, with mileage ond capitalization
detailed:

If tho report Is trustworthy that tho Bal
timore and Ohio Is soon to bo foreclosed,
a mt!ago of 2.100 miles and a capitaliza
tion of $125,0O0,0C0 will bo added to this
list, and In case tho Union Pacific Is se
cured by the bondholders that corpora
tion also will become an exclusive Morgan
possession. In tho financial and business
movomonts of several other roads tho
namo of Morgun Is behind every Idea
acted upon, notably thoso of tho Northern
Pacific, tho Chicago, Burlington and
Qulncy and tho Eric With these last
mentioned roads may also bo classed tho
New York, New Haven and Hurtford,
together with tho New England, though
hero tho Morgan Interest Is a fiduciary
representation of tho Vanderbllt capital.
c
Nearly thirty ycais have passed slnco
Mr. Morgan began railroad financiering.
His first notabro essay nt competitive or
aggressive Investment wob against the
late Jay Gould. Ho defeated the latter's
brokers and lawyers In a contest for tho
control ot the Albany nnd Susquehanna,
now a part of the Delaware and Hud
son system. Ho has not since been promi
nent as a direct purchaser of propertied.
But all the same he has so changed the
railroad situation In tho mtddlo states
that at present his Interests manage all
the lines between New York Central-
West Shore system and the Pennsylvania
road, with tho exception of the Jersey
Central nnd a few small routes. Indeed,
from Albany to the Southern railway's
northern terminus, the only system not
In tho hands of him or his allies is the
Pennsylvania, for the,Jersoy Central can
be acquired at his dlscietlon, and tho
Baltimore and Ohio mortgago Is practic
ally his to foreclose. Railway history has
been made rapidly throughout this re
gion since 1S90, nnd the Important devet
opmentsof tho period are now ushering In
a now era of transportation and Invest
ment business. It will In all human prou-
ability bo such ui era ot peace and pros
perity ns the Vandcrblttn gave to the
lines which they secured thirty years
since, removing perhaps forever all dan
ger of rate wars, receiverships and non
Incoma earning systems und schemes in
that part of the country.
MODERN EDUCATION.
From the Providence. Journal.
A comparatively new state law) re
quiring annual examinations of teachers
In creating considerable trouble in ono
of the largo cities of Northwestern Penn
sylvania, although tho act requires only
11 fair knowledge, of orthography, roadlng,
writing, f-fograjihy, Dngllsh grammar,
mental and written arithmetic. United
Btates history, 'tho effect ot alcohol and
narcotics on the system and tho theory
of teaching. Certificates wuro refused
unmeet tho applicants, whoso friends pro
ceeded to cr Video tho authorities. In de
fence the BChool superintendent published
a statement which Indicates that tho pub.
lie schoo'.s ot that locality have turned
out soma rcmarkablo graduates.
o
Quotations from tho examination papers
show that In theso days, of good Bchools
and free llbrr-rles thero are people who
believe that "Horntlo Gatps was a general
In tho civil war," thnt 'Mason and Slldell
wero Unglish spies," that "James o.
Illaliio was a Uepbllcoun vice- president,"
nnd that "Joff Davis was hanged." A
surprising bit of Information was that
"0110 of th& sources of revenue for fed-
em! government Is licensed saloons." Per
sons using alcoholic, drinks probably will
be uneasy when told that "alcohol makes
the muscles soft and flabby and when
they break In tho head apoplexy results."
A student of South African affairs learned
that "Paul Kruger Is trying to reach tho
Notth Polo by an airship." Opinions on
Horace Mann varied. Ono applicant de
scribed the ploi eer educator as "a mem
ber of Cleveland's cabinet," and another
stated In writing that he was "a,famous
negro." 4
o
In geography the Ignornnce of some or
tho candidates waa astonishing. Indiana
waa located on Lake Huron; tho Amazon
flowed Into tho Antarctic ocean; Detroit
was In Michigan, on tho banks of Loka
Ontario, and the frigid zones wore noted
for lions, tigers and hyenas. Among tho
choice samples of spelling were "speurh
cs," "cublnn," "balhince," "cotten,"
"Blgarctte, ' "plnrel" nnd "aggitaUon."
Tho law, presumably, excluded a few In
capable candldatts, and for this the public
ought to ba trnnliful. But tho condemna
tion of the tchool committee shows that
fitness Is about tho'ilast thliig consid
ered, and tho fact that the mlslnfoi -nation
quoted came from publlo school
graduates seems to warrant tho belief
that the legislature should have, taken
action many years earlier.
AS TO NATURALIZATION.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Tho tlmo has come when no man should
bo naturalized In this stato who does not
lead the language of tho country. It Is no
hardship to ask that an emigrant coming
to share our citizenship should, in five
years, beeomo sufficiently familiar with
our language to read the laws of the stato
and nation. It Is not necessary that thoy
should become English scholars, but it is
necessary that they should accept tho
language of tho nation whose liberties
they como to enjoy. Especially should
tho courts of Pennsylvania accept the de
mand of the Schuylkill Bar association
that no public officer of the county, or
candidate for office, or member of nny
campaign or political committee should
bo accepted as a voucher In any natural
ization petition. When such petitions are
presented In court they should be ac
cepted as notice that the naturalization
Is not so much ff- tho benefit of tho alien
us for the benefit of thoso who have po
litical ends to serve, and who wish to
transform the alien Into a citizen for their
advnntage rather than his own. In short,
naturalization should be a strictly judicial
proceeding, entirely freo from partisan
influences, and the courts should hew to
tho lino in oboying the law of the nation
that permits only tho naturalization of
those who nro In all respects worthy of
tho great boon of American citizenship.
Tho Ruling Passion.

bargains In politics. Don't you think"
"I think, rry darling, that when two

.Manifestly Unfair.
From the Chicago Record.
"Don't you want to get Into this Na

"No, sir; don't llko the way It Is run.

A hankering for greatness and a mind

Sho has bloomers qulto unmatchablo,
To men sho Is not catchab'.e,
For she's very independent and precise.
A ninety-seven wheel oho rides
And everything unreal derides.
But she's not tho kind of girl that's voted
