It does not require printed words to nssuro the guests within our Kates that they are welcome to Scranton and that nothing within reason will bo ncglcct ed to make their stay a pleasant one.

The Harrisburg Platform. Not having troubles enoiiRh of their own, a number of Democratic organs In Pennsylvania arc concerning them selves about the Republican state con-1-nntinn whiph Is tn meet at Hnrrfs- burg one week from tomorrow. They are curious to know how that gather ing will treat the recent legislature in Its platform, what views It will an nounce concerning civil service reform, nnd in what language It will Indorse the administration of Governor Hast ings. Time will tell: but If, the Harrisburg convention shall be fg'ulded by com mon sense it will not hesitate to ex press Its convictions Ih stralglltfotward Ungllsh. The day of the straddle plat form has gone 'by In communities as intelligent as -Pennsylvania. People nowadays like frmnk nvowalfc: and they soon detect the ring of pietence or of insincerity. So far as th legislature Is concerned the stato convention would be thoroughly justified in con demning its inattention to duty, its pronfnes to extravagance and Its te creancy to the progiamnio of reform indorsed by the convention of IS!).', and "icafllrmed Inst year. The Republican " party Is veil able to correct Its own mistakes and to take care of those who abuse Its trusi. Nothing good Is to be expected from the minority party an now captained in this common wealth, no matter what promises it may make. With reference to the course pursued by Governor Hastings in haltlns vlc lou raids upon the state's substance there can be only one form of platform reference which will accord with the c pinions of tli great majority of the party, nnd that is unequivocal com mendation. As the representative of the party and the people In the execu tive chair he did his duty and the patty find people, thiough their representa tives in stato convention assembled, will applaud him for It. So far as civil service reform Is con cerntd. we have the precept of Sena tor Quay himself In lta b?half, as voiced In the tesolutlons which he of fered at Harrlsluirg two jears ago. Further than that, we have the in dorsement of it embodied In the St. Louis platform, nnd the benefit of the official policy pursued, by William Mc Klnley in the most important executive order issued on the subject since the enactment of the original law. There can be no possible doubt as to the proper attitude of next week's conven tion toward this Issue. Our Bryanlte friends are invited to guess again. Governor Hastings denies that he Is a prospective candidate for congress, and says he Is not worrying about the future. In that he is wise. He can well afford to let the other fellows do the worrying. Our Consular Service. It Is announced by Carl Schurz, in the form of a prediction, that President JIcKlnley meditates another whack at the spoils system. This Is to assume the shape nf an order very mateilally enlarging the .scope of the examina tions provided for those nominated for consular places, tho aim being to secure a better avetnge consular representa tion abroad and pave the way to a rest ing of this service upon a basis of per manency, Irrespective of changes in domestic politics. It Is but fair to the president to say that In tho consular appointments which he has already made he has, upon the whole, insisted upon a high average of personal qualification en tirely additional to political indorse ment. Tho .election of consuls he has made a personal duty, not delegating it t to any subordinate in the department ' of state. While It has not been expect ed that In the lllllrg of the hundreds of offices in this branch of the public ser vice he could at a leap clear the ac cumulated traditions of a century that make those appointments In a certain nens'e' senatorial perquisites, yet It is entitled to bo entered to his credit that he has Invariably Insisted upon the senators recommendlnc men with re spectable promise of public efficiency and not mere camp-followers hunger ing for any old Job. In this respect, Indeed, he has not been alone anion? our modern execu tives. Both Harrison and Cleveland sought to emphasle personal fitness and succeeded u:on the whole In Im pioving the personnel and tho stand ing of our representation In the foreign commercial centers. Their bucce&s wns only partial, that Is, they both failed to reach their ideal, which was a permanent service, -Ith a system of promotions that would nttract to it a body of specially trained men capable In tlmo of coping with tho expert diplo matists and consular officials of our ptinclpal commercial j-JraL Great Brlt nln. Rut they failea because public sentiment had not jet Jieen prepared to sustain their more advanced concep tions nf a proper iwrvlce. Since then the chief commercial organizations of tho country, Inclutfln Ibe National Hoard of Trndc and the National Asso ciation of Manufacturers, have agitated the matter until .now Jt is our belief that the president would bo Justified In applying the cider Indicated hereto fore, The question of ,a .wnJtul'a fitness by right should not include .the political factor at all. Dconacjnaiy .and Itopuu- Uranism should end at tho shore line. Once beyond, It should be Americanism wholly the upholding of American treaty rights, the protection of Ameri can citizenship from foreign Insult or Imposition, nnd the alert, persistent nnd Insistent snfegunrdlnc nnd promotion of America's export commerce. To In form our merchants nnd manufactur ers ptomptly and Intelligently concern lng the conditions of tho foreign mar kets nnd then to help them tp sccum and retain n foothold In those mnrkets this should be the American consular official's constant nlm: and to facili tate Its achievement we na a nation should continue him at his plnce of duty during tho period of his efficiency, with adequate recognition of good work done nnd ample Incentive for improve ment. A Philadelphia milkman has been en deavoring to test the popular Illusion that this Is a free country, by under selling his competltots. The other milkmen, It seems, expostulated with him In vain, and he built up n fine cus tom. Then ho came to grief. In his complaint before court this week he tells n tnle of woe which would sound fitting If dated back In the middle nges. It appears that one night In a lonely place he was set upon by other dealers nnd terribly beaten, besides be ing jobbed of $400. A much safer plan for this man's comnotltots than high way robbery would have been to organ ize n milk trust and "do" him under cover of tho law. rite Case For Currency Reform. The case for currency reform will be well stnted today nt Dettolt, In an nddtess to bo delivered by John I. Branch, president of the Merchants National bank of Richmond. Vn., be fore the American Bankers' associa tion. We have beforeusnnndvnncecopy of this nddrcss sent us by the nut nor, ami Its simplicity of language and di rectness of nrgument nre greatly to be commended, In view of the common tendency to weigh this subject down with ponderous words which nobody can understand. Stnrtlng with a definition of what characteristic!! our currency should possess, Mr. Branch will define them to be fixity and stability of value, ade quacy of volume, flexibility, simplicity, uniformity and such equality of dis tribution throughout our territory that every man entitled to credit will be nble to obtain its use at a fair rate. He favors of course the gold standard, and demands the retirement of the greenbacks and treasury notes, for these reasons: "The function of gov ernment Is to govern. The legitimate function of banks Is to Issue currency, receive deposits, buy paper, and make loans. There should be no more inter ference on the part of tho government in the banking business than In the milk business; but the government should see to It that banks comply with reasonable, Just requirements, dictated by experience nnd common sense. Just as all good municipalities should see to It that the milk supplied the people Is pure and unadulterated. Once It Is understood by the people that a bank note Is not money, that bills of exchange, promissory notes, checks and bank notes are substan tially of the same nature; when they understand that the Issuing of notes is not a sovereign net to be solely re served to governments: when they ap preciate that the act Is no more sov ereign than the act of the merchant when he gives his demand notes, and that It Is gratuitous Interference on tho part of the government to tax or otherwise forbid a bank to issue currency, while It leaves nil other cor porations free to makeasmanydeuund notes as their credit will permit; then they will demand that tho banks be permitted to prosecute their legitimate business without Interference on the part of the government. All other busi ness Is conducted without such Inter ference. To discriminate against banks Is unjust. They should be per mitted to issue as many notes as can safely and profitably bo used." In conclusion Mr. Branch will say: A competent, non-partisan currency commission should ho appointed; ana briefly It seems to me they should advo cate. rir.-U. The final adoption of the gold staidard. Second. The gradual can cellation of government demand notes, nilil cancellation to bo not faster than now currency Is Issued by the banks; tho deposit of government revenues In tho hank of the country, and tho retirement of the government from the banking bus iness. Third. They should ndsocale the repeal of tho tax on tho circulation of brinks, and thereby mnke possible the Is sue of a currency which will expand anil contract automatically with the needs of tho cotintrj ; said currency to bo under the supervision of our national govern ment, and to bo surrounded by ample, practical and efficient safeguards If the currenvy commission does not solve tho pioblem and guide the people to demand c urrency reform based on eternal prin ciples. It Is my solemn conviction that, with tho Inevitable return of hard times, tho people will solve tho question for themselves, and free tllver may bo tha least of our evils. How docs this gentleman explain the fact that for many years prior to 1892 the government demnnd notes, more commonly called "greenbacks," gave no trouble and proved adequate to tho needs of business? It Is certainly now In order for the Washington correspondents to give '-John Sherman a rest. ailway Earnings. Nothing shows more plainly tho reaction from a boom period and tho effect of tho recent financial depression than the passenger statistics of the Union 1'aclflc railway. While this sys." tern 'has never been above the aver age In passenger business it has In tho past six years dropped forty-four per cent, Freight tralllc has In that time suffered a heavy decrease, but where passengers formerly brought more than 20 per cent, of the receipts from opera tions they now. show no moro than 17 per cent. In 1889 passengers on tho Union Pacific proper furnished $1,324,582 of tho total gross earnings of $19,775,555, They furnished SI.224.4SC of tho 1890 total of $20,438,208, but In tho last year only $2,458,641 of tho total of $14,382,291. On some lines tho passenger travel has diminished from a fair volume to practically no travel at nil. For In stance, the Urlghton & Moulder branch In Colorado from carrying 700,000 pas sengers one mile In 1S89 came down to 11,000 In 1893, and leaclied the number of 33,281 In 1S96. In Kansas as compared 'with the boom periods the falling off In passenger traffic Is even more marked. All of which goes to prove that the American public can economize when tho necessary crisis presents Itself nnd that touring for business or plcnsuro was one of the luxuries sacrificed by n large number of people In the past six years. That railway cnrnlngs are looking up is shown by the comparison of figures for tho first week In August from thirty lines, over those of a corresponding week In 1898. Of this number only nlno nnnounco a decrease. Tho Canadian Pacific gives tho encouraging gain of $61,000 which possibly may bo In part attributed to the exodus to Klondike. It Is a notable fnct that bank clear ings last week represented a gain of 9 per cent, over the week previous: 33 per cent, over the second week In August, 189G; 29 per cent, over the like week In 1S93: 46 per cent, over 1S9I: 41 per cent, over 1S93; and were larger than those of the corresponding week in cither 1S92, 1S91 or 1890. Fig ures like these make the calamity howl ers tired. Not tho least gratifying fact connect ed with tho business situation is that although there Is an unprecedented movement of loaded cars from grain fields to seaboard, those cars do not go back empty. With the money secured in exchange for his wheat the western farmer Is buying eastern merchandise nnd cnuslng a rapid acceleration of prosperity's return in all sections of the country. m - Worse things might happen to tho Re publican party thun the failure of Mr. Banna to secnro a leglslatu'o disposed to return him to the United States senate. Tho ascendancy of hla motfiods and Ideas In the Republican management Is unfor tunate to tho last degree. SprlngilMJ Republican. Yes, very unfortunate to the enemy. Mr. Hnnna's only crime Is success. Senator Quay's health' Is no much Improved that he will not go to Hawaii Just yet, nor will he retire. It appar ently just needed the prospect of a political "scrap" to tone his system up. It ought not to bo necessary to call a meeting of the legislative junketeers to secure the payment of their expenses. Let each man who Junketed pay his own debts. John Garman talks as If he really had a party behind him. Daily Newspaper as an Educational Rid From the Troy Times. The current number cf the New York Ttaehers' Quarterly contains an nrtlcle by C. do F. Hoxle, Instructor In Gram mar school No. 40, New York city, on "Use of the Dally Paper In Teaching, ' which Is full of ilme'.y suggestions. As It comes from one actually engaged In training tho young It must be conceled to have practical value. The general Idea which Mr. Hoxle desires to Inculcate may be gathered from this extract: "Nothing gains or holds the attention of school children like an apt statement of timely facts. Nothing Is more effective in illustrating a principle or In clinching a point than fresh up-to-dato knowledge. For Buch a purpose the dally newspaper is a never falling stoiehouse to tho dis criminating teacher. The 'news' can be made, use of in connection with almost eve-y subject that Is taught In the claes roj:n. Is it geography you are teaching" What added Interest can be aroused by tracing the progress of the Turko-Greelan war, or by calling attention to a poslble International complication lor Uncle Sam In connection with Hawaii's attempt to prevent a Jnpanasc Invasion! Is It his tory? livery page of a well edited dally paper teems with what might be termed cross reference'.- and side lights up the tests of tho school histories Is It glim, mar or criinro'HIen? Select a topic lrom the paperssomething on the tip of eiery brly's tongue nnd how much added In terest will be developed lr. the analsH, parsing und construction. Give a dicta tion exercise en Jamesot.'s raid or the latest exploits cf the Cuban patriots and see how the Interest developed reacts to produce better spelling and punctuation.' o Tho same principle Mr. Hoxle applies to civics, by citing examples which may be used In teaching pupils the duties and practices of citizenship. "Een arith metic," ho says, "may be enlivened by judicious references to passing events." Thu student may be set to figuring out tho time consumed In transmitting ua important news dispatch, and so on. Mr. Hoxle concludes thus; "Of course dis crimination must be used In the applica tion of current events to school studies. It goes without saying that the trivial and vicious should bo passed by and on'.y such news used to Illustrate the subjects tai'ght as will be helpful to tho pupil. Hut up-to-dato Illustration let us have, if wo have up-to-date classes. As Kmerson B. White well says: 'The knowledgo that tells tn tho clasd room is fiesh knowl edge.' " o Tho Importance of the newspaper as an adjunct of civilization nnd education needs no demonstration. Rut Mr. Hoxlo sfcowo how It can be made useful In what Is o.'te.i regarded as very prosaic and humdrvm work. To be sure. It would not b safe to utilize all newspapers as part of tho schoolroom outfit. Thoic is a class of yellow, journals which would breed mischief wherever introduced, and no teacher or parent would think of call ing them Into service for the purpose of awing in the mental or moral develop ment of the young. Hut there are plenty or good, clean, caretuuy edited papers wheo columns dally furnish matter of the highest educational value. Kvery boy and blrl will be better and wiser nnd moro thoroughly prepared to meet the respon sibilities of llfo by a course of this kind of reading, SUNDAY niCYCI.INO. From the Philadelphia Bul'.etln. There are few classes of persons to whom tho blcjclo hus been of such Ines timable value as to a certain typo of modiai sermonlzers. It has furnished them with material for countless dis courses, and many and thrilling havo been the moral letsons which some of them have drawn from It. Not long since' a certain minister had what he called a blcyelo Sunday. The novelty of such a pr .ceedlng brci.ght a large crowd of curious people to his church. Most of them camo on tlcycles nnd In blcyclu dress. A bicycle ornamented with flowers was placed immediately in front of the pulpit, and when tho time for the sermon atrlved tho minister mounted tho blcyelo and preached frcm it. His discourse was on tho bicycle, and ho drew many lessons relating to tho spiritual life from the different parts of the bicycle. At the con elusion of the service a bicycle "hymn was sung, and tho congregation went home, if not spiritually edified, at least greatly entcrta'ned at such an unusual service. Another minister, In direct op position to his brother of the blcyelo Sunday, recently has declared In awful and fcolemn Irnguage that "to ride a bi cycle on tho Sabbath day Is a sin, us it Is breaking the Sabbath," o Now, whatever motives may havo driven both of these divines to such ex- tremes, It Is hardly possible that either of them by such means will greatly Inlluenco even a majority of their own congrega tions. In the first Instance, the natural Idea of reveronce implanted In tho heart of tho ctcature when ne approaches his Creator Is outraged, nnd In tho second such teaching In regsrd to Sunday Is op posed to tho whoto practice of the Chrli tlan church for over a thousand years, Tho early Christians not only put aside tho Sabbath, with nil Its mlnuto cere nionlal, but Instituted another day to be observed In honor of one of the gloriom mysteries connected with the llfo of Christ. The very use of the word Sabbath In connection with tho Christian dispen sation Is a misnomer, as it Is Impossible to find any similarity between tho Chris tian Sunday ns observed by tho Chrlstlin church of nil times nnd the strict Sabbith of the Jewish people. Such a day was un known among Christians until It s es tablished by tho secro and plea jlMiat Ing Purlttns, o Nor did the early Protestant reformers havo such views In regard to such strict observance of tho day, for Luther said, in speaking of tho observance or summy: "If it bo set upon a Jcwlh foundation, then I bid you work, ride, dance upon It:" and wo read that Calvin used to play at bowl1) upon It. Sunday, tho Lord's day, has Indeed Its divine obligation when tho mind turnB Its thoughts to the contem plation of higher things, and when tho cares, tho wcrrles and tho perplexities of life nre for a while laid aside. Tho bodv also needi Its rest and recreation. And no Innocent nmvsement can be out of keeping with the proper observance of tho day. It would be well for tho strict Sabbatarian to pot der ever the words of Ignatius of Antloch, the pulpit of St. John, when ho says: "No longer ob serving Sabbaths wo keep tho Lord's Day." WIDE VS NA.KHOW TIKES. From th Lancaster New Bra. Exhaustive tests made with wide tires havo dcmonstiatcd, without room for doubt, their superiority over those of the usual width. These tests have been made over macadam, gravel, dirt roads, plowed fields nnd meadows. In nearly every In stance tho draft was found to bo lighter with six inch tires than with the ordinary ones. On macadam roads, Hi tons could be hauled with the same draft required to haul one 'ton with narrow heels. On gravel roads the relative difference was 2,010 pounds to 2,000 on narrow tires. On hard dirt roads tho difference was 2.7W to 2,000. On dirt roads cut into ruts, the results were in favor of the broad tires, after tho second run, even when the broad wheels were run over the ruts made by tho narrow tires. On mud roods, spongy on the surface and soft under neath, tho broad wheel drew one-half lighter than the narrow ones; but on the same roads when soft and sticky on top and firm beneath, the narrow tltes pulled rraterlally lighter. o Narrow tires show to advantage in a few Instances, especially when the sur faco of dirt roads Is too wet nnd sloppy to compress under the broad wheels and Is underlaid with n hard, drv substratum; also when the mud Is deep and sticky enough to gather on the wheels. But this condition prevails only for a short time every year. When meadows and pastures are soft, tests show that from 3,000 to 4,000 pounds may be hauled on broad wheels, while only 2.000 pounds, with tho same draft, can be hauled on narrow ones. Stubble fields nnd plowed ground Invariably yield better results to broad lilies than to narrow ones. These xncrlroents are at variance with com mon opinion. Six inch tires on farm wagens and country roads will be found far more satlfactory than two-Inch ones. By substituting the former for tho latter nn Improvement In the public highways could be effected and be matter for sur prise to those who havo never seen what a change the substitution of tho one for tho other can effect. SAVE THE S.YVlKSJ' . ,. From Leslie's Weekly. Whenever great public Interest Is maul fested in any new dlsrccry of mineral wealth thero are hui'dreds ot sharp men who organize schemes by which they can get hold cf tho savings of the thrifty poor under tho prettnso that for each dollar In vested In their enterprises small fortunes will be gained. This was the case thirty j ears ago, when new petroleum fields were being prospected, and it is the case today with the gold-fleMs In Alaska and the Northwest Territory of Canada. Ue tween now ard early spring hundreds ot enterprises will bo advertised, end the public will be asked to contribute many millions of dcllurs in mere prospecting ventures. This Is gambling of the worst type, as the shares will surely be made out in low figures, so that every one cm purchase. It Is. indeed, nothing but a ne.v form ot lottery, and we suspect that, hit or miss, the on'.y gainers In any of these venture will bo the smart achenturers who open ofllces to tend out florid prospectuses nnd to receive subscriptions. They will surelj do well If the public bo but lured by thetr tales of the wealth that Is waiting the coming of their agents. Wo have nothing to say against men of means, who can afford to lose, taking as many "flyers" as they choose In this far northern land cf gold, but wo meat seriously counsel tho poor, the thrifty, and tho hard-working to keep their savings in.the banks, where they can be had when that probable rainy day shall dawn and a lean cupboard open for a hungry brood.

"I was so lonely," a violet said, As he nestled closo to an eagle's breast, "So tired, too, of the dusk and tho dew, God sent you, I trlnk, to glvu mo rest. Bear me away to tho gates of day. To heights that forever aro glad and green, And soft on your breast as a bird In Its nest. Let me learn what living and loving mean." Tho wind crept cold by the eyrie's edge That night, in his cavern beside the sea, The bird slept well, but tho pride of the dell, Forgotten and faded, cried, "Ah! me! For tho sweet, sweet dieam by the shad owing rtream. For tho lonely life that I used to hate For tho ausk and tho dw bo tender and true!" But the wind 'made answer, "Too latei too latol" i Today in the calm cf his cold content, High on tho cliff the bold bird sits, And never a. thought of tho harm ho wrourht Through the sunny space of his memory flits; But tho wind In glee creeps up from tho ;a, And finding tha violet doomed and dead, Wafts It away from tho gates of day, And buries It down where the dusks aro shed.
