"Scranton," remarks Secretary Ath crton, "has nn abundance of rooi! cites." True, and a superabundance of bad sights which ought to be made good. Tltc First Bloodshed. It appears that a court at Plttsburff has restrained the striking miners from assembling In numbers on a pub lic road and from marching along that road toward the entrances to the Plum Creek mines of the New York and Cleveland Qas Coal company. In con sequence of the refusal of the miners to obey, this order, and despite the pro tests of the sheriff and his deputies, a scuffle- yesterday ensued, during which one of tho miners was cut over the eye, causing the first bloodshed of the 'present strike. This Is one of the versions offered In print, but we shall await the text of the Injunction before passing Judgment upon It. It is not credible that any court In this country would undertake to restrain a body of American citizens from walking along a public road for peace able purposes and In an orderly man ner. ' As was ,tho case In the first re ports of Judge Jackson's new celebrat ed rule' of court, this order has doubt less'been misunderstood. Tho foregoing circumstance is sig nificant chiefly-as an Indication of the growing' tensity of feeling among the men on.'strlkc,. a condition rapidly be coming critical. Up to this time the strike has been unique for tho orderli ness which has marked Its progress. It Is not possible to recall a single earlier labor movement of correspond ing magnitude that presented a finer example of moderation and self-control. Could this magnificent record be con tinued, it would unquestionably win for the men so vast a measure of sym pathy from the people as to render certain their ultimate success. But to expect such a thing would be to hope for almost the Impossible. The strike is really a war, and In wnr it is rarely practicable long to malntnln peace standards. Passion once aroused in the ranks means violence, do what the leaders may to try to avert It. It seems within bounds to say that noth ing short of a miracle can keep back the tide of recklessness and of Indif ference to restraint if tills strike con tinues a fortnight longer. Should a clash ensue, upon whom would the responsibility fall? "We know where it ought to fall upon those operators who have so greedily grabbed for business by price-cutting that they have forced the bituminous trade into a hole and literally driven other and Innocent men to lower wages in turn until nearly all wages In the soft coal regions were depressed below the point of endurance. If blood , bo shed in any seriousness hereafter, we believe that it will In the sisht of heaven be on these heads. The best way to deal with tho apos tle of assassination is to give him his own medicine. Silver as a Future Issue. Senator Chandler, viewing tho con tinued decline of silver and tho simul taneous rise in wheat, refuses to bo convinced. In his opinion It Is only a question of time when monometal lism will work such disaster to tho human race that there will be an up rising of the masses and the money changers will be brushed aside like chaff before an autumn gale. These are not his words but they represent his Idea as outlined at length in a letter to the Washington Post. Now that the tariff issue is disposed of for some time the senator advises the public to take up this other issue of mono metallism vs, bimetallism and study the fundamental principles of it so as to be prepared for tho re-argument of it which he regards as inevitable in the next presidential contest. In an academic sense tho advice is good, for as a means of mental disci pline few subjects are comparable with it. "When we reflect that experts who have mado a life study disagree quite as radically and with almost aa much emphasis as do the tyros who have gone no further into the problem than to read current newspaper editorials and the common campaign literature, eomethlng of its intricacy "begins to impress us. But if we are to view Senator Chandler's suggestion from a political standpoint. It is open to the question of whether popular under standing of a great political Issue is essential or, from the point of view of the professional politicians, especi ally desirable. The greater the Ig norance of tho masses the better, It would seem, would bo the chance of the party leaders to twist and Juggle, and tho easier the representation of white as black, and vice versa. Wo had last fall something of an Illustra tion of this marked disposition of ono class of campaign educators to refer to the opposition as "plutocrats" and "monopolists," and of tho other class to retaliate by cries of "anarchists" and "repudlatlonlsts." This kind of talk was not only much easier than solid argument but also, with too many of our population, apparently more ef fective. We are not, however, so sure as Sen ator Chandler appears to bo that this Issue will ta,ke a formidable place in the political controversies of tho fu ture. It haB had its day n court. Tho advocates of a change front the pres ent monetary basis presented their case and asked for iv verdict, Upon the case as they formulated t, namely, that the United States should, by It self, resume tho free coinage of silver at a ratio giving to silver more than double silver's market value, the ver diet was adverse, and adverse by so plain a majority as to offer little in ducement for an appeal for a new trial. Since then, vatt llelds of gold have been discovered, the- prices of fond stuffs havo rallied nnd silver has kept on falling until now It Is at a lower point than ever before, nil of which constitutes circumstantial evidence tending to confirm tho wisdom of last autumn's finding. It Is well to study this question, of course, as a means of exercising tho mind, but wo don't expect thnt there will bo much politi cal call for such Investigation three yenrs hence. m The Canadian papers now advance the nrgument that If Americans abro gate tho bonding privilege whereby Canadian railways, built on subsidies, are enabled to underbid American trunk lines for transcontinental traillc, they will cut off their own nose to splto their face. But if that wore true, why hhotild Canadians object? The fact is, their arguments In behnlf of the con tinuation of the bonding privilege are entirely too thin, and the privilege will have to go. Mr. I'owdcrly nnd tltc Anarchists. A Washington dispatch says: "Ter ence V. Powderly, the new commis sioner of Immigration, will signalize the opening of his administration by seeing that tho United States is not mado an asylum for the rod-handed anarchists, now being driven from France, Spain and Italy by concentrat ed action of the great continental pow ers. Mr. Powderly says he will adopt every remedy under the law to exclude Planas, tho leader of tho Spanish an archists, who has been conducted to llarve by French officials and shipped to New York. The immigration olllce will notify their officers at New York and all large seaboard ports to be on the lookout for anarchists headed this way. It Is expected also that the United States consul at llnrvo will give specific Information as to the ship on which Planas and his compatriots sail." The dispatch further says: "Europe should keep her own criminals and her own paupers," said Mr. Pow derly, with emphasis. With a copy of the .0X011181011 law in his hand, Mr. Pow derly pointed out tho steps to bo taken, mid also showed the need of strengthen ing the law, so as to deal with tho anar chist class. The law permits the exclu sion of "persons who have been con victed of a felony or other Infamous crimes or misdemeanors Involving moral turpitude." It also excludes "persons like ly to become a public charge." Thcso uro the only provisions which, even in directly, can be applied to anarchists, and tho bureau will be compelled to resort to thorn In emergencies like tho present. After tho Barcelona anarchist agita tion, the French government sent to out state department a list of anarchists ex pelled from tho country and expected to come to tho United States. The list was sent to our Immigration officers nt New York, Philadelphia, Boston and other ports, with Instructions to apply tho two provisions quoted against the nnarchlsts named on tho list. Nono of them wrro apprehended, however, ns they either did not como or were smuggled In by way of the steerage. Mr. Powderly will again Invoke theso two sections of tho law ngnlnst this new tide of anarchists, and he is hopeful that it will exclude them outright or discourage them from turn ing this way. Tho commissioner was nsked If he fa vored strengthening the law, so as to specifically exclude anarchists and thoso upholding tho propaganda of assassina tion. "I most assuredly would favor n law excluding from the United States every criminal. Incendiary and anar chist," answered Mr. Powderly. "There is no trouble In fixing the status of tho man who has been convicted of a crime, but the term 'anarchist' has not been clearly defined, so that it la extremely difficult to ascertain who tho anarchist Is." Mr. Powderly went on to show tho dlfllcultles in tho way of dcllnlng "an archist." Tho latter claims to be a phil osopher, seeking an ideal state of so ciety. To this end he advocates the aboli tion of nil law and tho substitution of individual effort. Mr. Powderly points out that It is only when tho anarchist carries his philosophy to an advocacy of nssasslnatlon or Incendiarism, that tho law can deal with him.. It cannot deal with him ns an abstract philosopher. It Is possible to reach most anarchists In two ways; flrst as Mr. Powderly says, by making It a crime to advocate incendiarism and assassination, nnd secondly, by a strict exclusion of pau pers and those unable to show that they are unlikely to become a public charge. It is believed that nine out of every ten professional anarchists would stumble over one or tho other of these rules. Freedom of opinion and free dom of utterance are priceless posses slons, to bo safeguarded with diligent care. But it Is not freedom in any true sense which Incites to murder, riot or destruction of property and tho law even of America, freest of all the free nations of the world, may well lay the hand of repression on that maluse of American freedom which boldly avows a purpose to destroy government and reduce society to chaos. If Mr. Powderly shall pursue with vigor tho purpose outlined by him, un til either the end is gained of keeping these human vipers out of this country or tho inadequacy of the present laws upon tho subject is so clearly showji as to cause them to bo amended, he will perform a service for law and or-' der that will entitle him to be held In additional esteem. The Philadelphia Ledger calls Sen ator Durham and his friends "discredit ed political adventurers." By whom discredited and when? A Governor In Error. Governor Atkinson of West Virginia recently pardoned a man who had been convicted of shoe-ling his wife's para mour; and In the message accompany ing the pardon ho took occasion to ex press 1 egret that tho injured husband's "bullet had not proved fatal. This hav ing provoked criticism tho governor now makes public a letter In which he reviews tho facts In the case, showing them to point to an especially heinous offense or. the part of tho man shot, and adds: "I again say that any man who has a heart in his body and wlfo and children cannot but feel the same In tho same manner." I,ct this be granted. Could not tho governor of West Virginia have signed that pardon without any accompany ing eulogy of tho legal offenso of Bhoot lng with Intent to kill? We will con cede that in this particular case the facts wcro such as seemingly to Justify the husband in tho course lib took to avenge tho wrong done to him; and Jiat therefore the governor mado what will be regarded by nine men out of ten aa a Justifiable use of the pardoning power. How would tho governor feel If during the next few weeks a dozen Jealous husbands in West Virginia; should accept his glorlflcatlsn of pistol practice on paramours as an Invitation to open fire on men whom they mor bidly suspect of 'vrong-dolng but against whom they haVo not tho clear proof of guilt which was possessed by the husband referred to above? If these men, after their arrest and conviction, should apply to him for a pardon, could ho with good grace deny their nppcnl after having in so public nnd emphatic a manner Indorsed the taking of summary and violent vengeance on Invaders of tho sanctity of the homo? It can hardly bo hld by any thought ful person that the penalties provided by law for the alienation of a wife's af fections and for adultery constitute an. adequate punishment or afford tho (lightest reparation, for tho Injuries thus wrought to the husbands and chil dren affected. But can tho matter 1)0 mended by Inviting the principal suf ferer himself to disregard tho law and to constitute himself nn armed com mittee of one to murder his enemy? It appears to us that Governor Atkln con has In this matter permitted his sympathlfs to run awny with his Judg ment. We do not say that his fym pathles are discreditable; but os the executive head and chief symbol of law and order for the commonwealth of Vir ginia, It Is his duty to weigh problems of this kind carefully and judicially, to the end that the greatest good shall bo conserved for the greatest number. In Montgomery county it costs about 7 cents a day a man to feed tho pris oners In the county Jail while Luzerne, for no better food, spends JO cents. Th'ls Is why Controller Lloyd refuses to npprove Warden Boland's bill. The controller alleges that tho county Is raying $10,000 a 'year too much for the maintenance of Its prisoners. If he can establish this fact to the satis faction of court and public It will go far to excuse some of his earlier official mistakes. The Toronto Qlobo Informs us that "It would bo a good thing if self-re specting Americans could take somo means of showing their disapproval of tho habit of discussing international questions after the manner of a tavern brawl." And It would also be a good thing If self-respecting subjects of Eng- land should take measures to prevent the government of her majesty from exhibiting in Its attitude toward other nations tho characteristics of a tavern brawler. Does the Philadelphia Times really think that tho Pennsylvania Democ racy should have no convictions on na tional Issues or Is It merely opposed to the expression of any? If this Klondike boom Is a manu factured affair, as is now claimed, it certainly speaks well for the Ingenuity of tho manufacturer. Question for debate: Is there a paper In all England so nggravatlngly Eng lish as the New York Evening Post? Comparisons Tha fire Interesting Walter Wellrr.an in Times-Herald. Convention at a London club: Pres ent, four Englishmen, lawyers, professor, etc., and ono American. An Englishman Over here the writings of your Thecdore Roosevelt are much admired. Wo look upon him as one of tho greatest writers on sports in tho world. Tno American Glad to hear you say so. Ho Is not only a clever writer but a good fellow. An Englishman But I have heard that he fights with everyone. Tho American If you mean that ho Is quarrelsome that Is not true. As a mem ber of the police commission In New York ho had a good many lows, but he was al ways fighting for the right. An Englishman Such a man Is in a de cided minority in New York and Amer ica, is ho not? ILaughtcr by all tho Englishmen. The American Undoubtedly; and m that respect hurran nature Is pretty much tho same tho world over oven in Lon don and Great Britain. An Engllsl man You have such dread ful newtrapers In America. Do you be hove anything you see In them? The American Wo believe almost ev erything. Newspapers In America aro fal lible, as they are here, but the best news papers In our country nro ns accurato as tho best newspapers here. I have been In London Ave days nnd I ha've noticed In your dally papers in that time three cor rections of errors, besides several edito rial blunders, hko locating tho American congress at New York, wrlch were not corrected. An Englishman But wo are told that your reporters call to see a public man, and the public man says ho will not talk, refuses to say a word, nnd tho reporter goes on and writes a column Interview with him. Tho American No such reporter could hold a placo thirty-six hours In an Amer ican newspaper office. Tho latest out rago of this sort I havo heard of was when a nowspapcr correspondent was in troduced to Ibsen at the Grand hotel In Christians. Ibsen said: "Glad to meet you, sir," and picked up his papers and walked away. Tho reporter prepared a column and a half Interview, which when published created quite a sensation. That Journalist was not an American, but an Englishman. An Englishman But your papers pub lish such gaudy headlines dreadful things they are. The American That r minds ine. Please tell me which of your London dallies Is now making greatest strides In circula tion? Several Englishmen Mr. Harmsworth's Dally Mall. The American Well: two or three years ago Jlr. Harmtworth spent several months In tho United States, studying our cheap newspapers. He returned to London and started tho Mall. Ho brought over a number of Journalists from Amer ica, and they aro still on his staff. Ho has Introduced many American Ideas, Includ ing tho bold headlines over his news, and American methods of collecting the news to put headlines on. As you say, his paper Is now growing faster than any other in London, (An Englishman Aro you Americans really going to annex Hawaii? Tho American Of course we are. An Englishman Then I suppose you will want Cuba and the Bermudas, tho Bahamas, and everything In sight? The- American Never fear. Wo shall not walk on your toes, We do not want tho Bermudas or the Bahamas. But It Is a strange thing that you English prick up your ears at tho first suggestion that tho United States Is going to annex an Island. For many years you havo been roaming around the world, gobbling up all the Inhabited and uninhabited lands you could get your clutches nn, .until you make your jublloj boasts of tho ex tent of your possessions, and Just as soon as a little dot or an Island down In the Paolflo usks us to tako her in that she may bo saved from Aslatlo domination you lift your hands In horror at tho greediness of these Yankees. An Englishman Wo should have a good deal more tympathy with you If you had concluded the treaty of arbitration with Great Brltnln. Tho feeling over here Is that that would have strengthened Great Britain before tho world and would In time havo strengthened you, Tho Amorlcan Tho.peop'.o of tho United States wnnt a treaty of arbitration with England, and as soon as certain political changes can bo brought about wo will make such a treaty. But with or without a treaty you pcoplo should recognize tho right and tho manifest destiny of the United States to nssumo leadership among tho western nations, to extend our political power and perhaps, our terri tory. Our efforts will bo wholly confined to America. We havo no objection to your gobbling up all you can get of Asia and Africa, but you ought not to make faces at us if we go ahead on our sldo of tho water. An Englishman It Is too bad that your diplomatists aro to rude. Your Bering sea noto was positively uncouth. If such a iloto had been sent by ono European gov ernment to another It would havo strained their rclatlcrs. Explanations would havo been den.andcd and apologies. But wo don't qulto hold yu Americans responsi ble for all you say. Tho American We aro willing to bo held responsible, however. Tho troublo with you 'English Is that you overlook tho merits of the question and complain be causo wo aro not polite. You admit that wo aro In the right In our contention, but still complain becauso wo aro uncouth. Repair tho wrong and you will have no occasion to corrplaln of our manners. An Englishman But why bo so snarp about it in your diplomatic note? Tho American Because, we have learned through experience that you English aro too busy with your South Africa, your India, your Turk, and all your many and mighty affairs throughout the world to pay any attention to us unless we give you a shock. When wo poke you roughly In tho ribs you wako up, and then wo set tlo matters in good spirit. It was so with Venezuela, and it will turn out so with tho seals. MAN'S DANGEKOUS AGE. From tho Albany Times-Union. It Is n singular fact, yet ono substan tiated by statistics, that most crime is committed In this state by men 29 years old. This Is not only truo of tho lesser but also of tho greater crimes, although a man Is nesumed bo at that period of his life not only In the zenith of his physical, but nlso In full nnd complete possession of his mental powers, with a complete appreciation of right and wrong and their respective conse quences. This condition Is a problem which has not been solved by tho stud ent of criminology, and ono which is mado tho moro complex by the fact that tho ages of 21, 27 and 45 years nearly equal It, with tho Intervening years show ing a far less percentage of crime, Is indeed peculiar that the criminal tendency should be so strong at 2D with no such Inclination, so far ns criminal statistics show, in as great a degree for tho succeeding sixteen years, and then another outburst of the animal In man. This condition is found to bo truo by ac tual figures, and ns all statistical com putations at which averago conditions aro sought to be determined nro arrived at by this method, so may the student of this subject, as well as the insurance magnate who bases his rates on the gen eral averago of losses In proportion to tho risks taken, and does so with full safety, employ it in solving tho problem before him. Charles K. Baker, chief clerk to Superintendent Lnthrop, has mado this subject ono of close study and will soon havo completed a table showing this to bo true. Ho has already completed ono relative to murderers serving life sent ences In tho penal Institutions, nnd Its figures bear out the general conclusion. Ho offers at this tlmo no explanation for this, but hopes after he has exhaust ed the subject, so far as the presentation of figures aro concerned, to be ablo to set forth reasons why these years should bo productive of the most crime. o The following figures show how old the various murderers who nre serving life sentences were when they committed the act for which they are serving time, together with how many like crimes were committed at such specific year of age: Fifteen, 1; sixteen, 1; seventeen, 2; eigh teen, 2; nineteen. 1; twenty, 2; twenty one, 8; twenty-two, 9; twenty-three, 6; twenty-four, 5; twenty-five, S; twenty-six, W; twenty-seven, 11; twenty-eight, 7; twenty-nine. 12: thirty. 5: thlrty-one, 6; thirty-one. 7; thirty-two. 7; thirty-three, C; thirty-four.

George Washington first of all presidents stands, Who, then, to John Adams his high office hands, ThomaB Jefferson next, beloved of the na tion, The man who first drafted our great Dec- claratlon; Under Madison war with Great Britain did cease, And Monroe ushered in a new era of pcaco; Now In John Q., the Adams' have their last Inning, And, with Jackson, Democracy has its beginning. Then Van Buren, then Harrison, who very soon dies; Then Tyler, the first of vice presidents to rise, Polk, commanding, saw Mexico massed as our foes, And Zach Taylor then on tho war's crest aroso; Millard Fillmore then came, when the great lighter died, And then Franklin Flerco and Buchanan wero tried. Great Abraham Lincoln Fame's flaming hand beckoned. To the Immortal Washington hardly a second; Andrew Johnson was seated when Lin coln was killed. And It cannot bo said that the chair was quite filled. Ulysses S. Grant, who had made war to cease, Camo next, with his olive branch: "Let us have peace," Next tho well-meaning Hayes, so kindly In faco; Then Garfield, and Arthur, his vice, held tho place; Then Cleveland, of whom as "an acci dent" speak; He was put In the place by a clerical freak. Ben Harrison next had tho place for awhile, And then we gavo Cloveland a thorough retrial, On this second Inning ho panned out quite thinly, And the people turned In and elected Mc- Klnley. J. S.
