Tho safest wlnn for n mine innnaRO
metit Is to play fnlr with Its men. a
lesson, by the way, Just now being em
phasized at Hnzleton.
The First Gubernatorial dun.
What Is. we believe, the ltrst formal
announcement of a candidacy for the
Kepubllcan gubernatorial nomination
In this commonwealth next year has
Just beon made at Kile by Congrrss
man Charles W. Stone of Wnrren. Mr.
Stone frankly avows his desdra to be
honored by . his . fellqw, IU-publlcniiH
with this Important trust and inti
mates that If successful In his ambi
tion ho .will administer the otllce In
freedom from factional Inlluences and
for the broadest Rood of the greatest
number. The platform Is like the man
clean, honorable and elevated. Mr.
Stone Is one of the ablest members
now serving In the American coiifiress,
and his -wide experience lit both state
and-national affairs would admirably
equip, him for the duties of the gover
norship at Hnrrlsburg.
It Is early yet to consider the guber
natorial problem, and In the present
condition of Hepubllcan state politics
he would. Indeed, be a courageous man
who, with nny regard for his reputu
tlon as u prophet, should now hazard
a prediction concerning the name of
the next gubernatorial nominee. Much
easier will It be to say what kind of a
man he should not be: as. for example,
a personal chattel, n figurehead or a
tool. Hut In coming boldly into the
arena one full year before the tourney
Is to begin, Congressman Stone sots n
Rood example of conlldence In his own
cause.
"An open field and no favor," is the
Pittsburg Dlnpatch's demand concern
ing next year's gubernatorial cam
paign. It is a demand which the He
publican masses will re-In force.
The Race Issue.
The race problem promises to create
a great disturbance In Institutions of
learning hitherto exempt from any dis
cussion of the subject except In an ab
stract sense. Congressman White of
Illinois recently nppolnted a colored
youth named Smith for admission
Into the Xaval Academy at
Annapolis, who at the pre
liminary examination In June was re
jected. Mr. White has reappointed
him, convinced that the Examining
Board whs Inlluenced by the racial
question, as the young man is one who
for mental attainments, can scarcely
be surpassed. He was graduated at
the head of his class from the Chicago
High school, secured a gold medal for
general excellence in his studies, and
by recommendation from teachers and
Influential men in his district, seems
eminently satisfactory as a representa
tive nt the Naval Academy. The con
gressman states that no feeling of sen
timent exists In the matter In his case,
but that no branch of the public ser
vice should be closed to a citizen be
cause of his color. If a mistake has
been made In giving him citizenship
the laws should be amended; until
that time, and while In office, the con
gressman proposes to reappoint young
Smith as often ns he Is rejected, nnd
while hv will not accept a renomlnatlon
for congress he Is persuaded that so
strong Is the feeling on tho subject In
his district that his successor will con
tinue the course already adopted. i'hfc
young man Is nearly white and as to
personal appearance can by no possi
bility reflect discredit upon any Insti
tution. Mr. White's position In the
premises Is absolutely sound.
The case of Anita Ilcimniugs reads
like the wildest romance. Of colored
parentage, but of exceptional Intel
lectual ability and much beauty, she
has been graduated In June from per
haps the proudest college for women
in our land, where never before a
daughter of the negro race had set
foot as a studont, and where, under no
possibility, would she have been re
ceived had her birth been known. Her
mother is a woman of unbounded am-,
bltlon and much mental force, and by
her efforts the girl received every ad
vantage that cultured Hoston could
give. Having attracted the attention
and Interest of a wealthy lady of that
city, ehe was sent to Mr. Moody's
school at Northfleld and afterward to
Vassar college, where she became pop
ular ojnong the most exclusive set. At
( her graduation In June she took a
, ,prnniinent part and received honors.
,. The authorities und the college patrons
. are. however, much scandalized since
.. the alleged deception has been dls
. covered and the affair has probably
, caused more excitement than anything
"In the history of the great Institution
of learning.
Looking at the details of the two
eases from a. totally unprejudiced
standpoint It seems more thnn absurd
that such a dlsturbrtntse thould be
made, or that the sequence of events
In connection with these two persons
should constitute such an enormity In
the eyes of tho hidre enlightened por
tion of the Anidrican public. In Hos
ton the beautiful yliung woman who
showed no traces of negro blood but
whose birth was well-known wus re
ceived among her white friends of high
social standing, ns an equal. In Chi
cago, young Mr. Smith, the choice for
cadet at Annapolis by unanimous vote
of his district was made much of
wherever he werit and "when leaving to
take his examination at the Naval
Academy was escorted to tho station
by hundreds of his proud fellow stud
ents, every jno' bf whom wan white.
It Is a reflection Upon free and Inde
pendent America If face distinction
exists to sucH nh extent that tho Ex
amining Hoard of the tfkvnl Academy
contains prejudlco though to exclude
a man of Int'etlectu'al attainments oven
uperlor to the majority of the mem-
hers passed because, although unre
vcalcd by look or gesture, In his veins
How a few drops of African blood. It
Is a reflection on the noble womanhood
of our land If her most famous college
for the sex Is thrown Into convulsions
of humiliation and chagrin because,
forsooth, In her wide splendid halls
for three years walked superbly and
with pure untainted soul an octaroon
whose brilliant mind nnd rare good
breeding left no suspicious In the
thoughts of faculty or classmates.
Away with such false sentimentality!
The fact that Canada Is Importing
vast stores of fire arms and ammuni
tions Is attracting much attention on
this side. In the stock recently ac
quired are fory thousand Lee-Knfleld
rifles, u number of automatic Maxim
Nordenfeldt nnd Hotchklss quick firing
guns, six batteries of twelve pounds
breach loading guns nnd many 'other
ominous implements of war. Whether
Klondike's Icy glaciers rolling down
their golden sand, or the Ice floes where
tho seals disport themselves are to be
the ultlauite destination of these grim
visitors has not as yet been confided to
the American public.
Government by Injunction.
It Is evident from the tone of the bet
ter conducted press throughout the
country that the recent use of Injunc
tion proceedings In connection with
the bituminous mine strike to prevent
trespass and restrain Intimidation of
workers by strikers has given an un
expected Impetus to tho Issue raised
by tho Chlcngo platform of last ear
when It denounced what It called "gov
ernment by Injunction."
The nucleus of objection to such or
ders of couit as were Issued by Judge
Jackson ut Parkersburg und the two
common pleas Judges of Allegheny
county Is succinctly stated by the Chi
cago Inter-Ocean, one of the leading
Hepubllcan authorities In the west,
when It declares that "courts In equity
were not created for any such pur
pose, nor Is the mnchlnery of that
branch of the judiciary suited to any
such constabulary purposes." To which
the Springfield Hepubllcan. also n vig
orous assailant of Hryanlsm, adds' wiMi
suggestive emphasis: "Hither ths
Judge in such cases undertakes to con.
struct crimes out of acts which ure
not crimes under the law, or he alms to
substitute contempt proceedings for the
due processes of law. In either caff
the court of equity transcends Its pre
rogatives and becomes nn engine for
establishing Judge-made law nnd Ju
dicial administration of the law on the
ruins of trial by Jury."
Interpreted literally. Judge Jackson's
Injunction simply forbade violations of
statutory law; but the argun ent made
against It Is that that law Itself al
ready carried adequate penalties, and
consequently that the Judge'3 drawing
arfund It of the sacrs.1 clrole of the
bench was In effect an usurpation of
authority calculated to convey to the
minds of the Impassioned the belief
that such judicial action was more
likely to be commanded bv ho rich
and influential than by the unfortu
nate. In the particular case persented
at Parkersburg It Is proper to say
tliut Judge Jackson's injunction In all
probability prevented a crisis which
would have been ntten.led by disorder
und doubtless have necessitated the
Intervention of the militia: iu other
words, It was an extreme act hastily
designed to cope with an acute and
dangerous emergency. On tin- other
hand, the evil effect of It is shown in
the avidity with which It was Imi
tated, and bungllngly, by tho Pitts
burg Judges, and by the widespread
feeling which It has occasioned among
worklngmen that the cause of the
strikers has not been treated fairly
In court.
Even'when conservatively viewed the
Issue presented In these multiplying
Injunctions suggests the need of a
more exact definition by congress and
the various state legislatures of the
powers and ' jurisdiction of equity
courts, to the end that judicial authori
ty shall not become autocratic and ar
bitrary. The people are not yet will
ing to subsltute "Judge-made laws and
Judicial administration" for "trial by
Jury," and the less hocus pocus there
Is In the use of Injunctions the greater
will be the respect to which our ju
diciary will be entitled. The Idea that
attorneys representing one side In a
dispute nnd that usually the side able
to employ tho costliest talent may,
at any time, upon a trumped-up rep.
resentatlon of aliened facts, and with
out trial of the cause on its merits,
secure from a Judge In chambers a writ
of court restraining for days or weeks
or even months the opposite side from
nny action in its behalf while the
parties of the first part, under the cov
er of this writ, are left free to do
pretty much as they please, Is one
that will need considerable explaining
to render It wholly tolerable to the
American Instinct for fair play.
The government statisticians com
pute tho American farmer's crop gains
this year at $500,000,000 and Wall street
experts put It nt $700,000,000; but the
either sunu the farmer will evidently
cut a big figure In prosperity's return.
How to Uplift Silver.
The suggestion of ex-Governor Crit
tenden, of Missouri, that Instead of con
tinuing their apparently hopeless at
tempt to reinstate tho white metal In
Its old-time coinage privileges tho sil
ver producers of the United States
come together and, In co-operation
with tho silver miners of Mexico
and South America, agree to discon
tinue the mining of the metal until Its
market price shall offer a fair Induce
ment, seems reasonable. Although such
a combination might be difficult to
form It would probably not be half so
difficult as tho capturing of the gov
ernment of tho United States on a
proposition to coin silver free into 1C to
1 dollars when the market ratio Is
about 3G to 1.
We do not Jqln In the contemporary
jubilation over tho fall In silver, for wo
remember that a very large per cent,
of this country's mineral wealth con
sists of silver ore, the depreciation of
which cannot have any other effect
than to prove n misfortune. Further
more, our currency at this time com
prises In round numbers $500,000,000 In
sliver, and while It Is all as good as
gold because exchangeable for gold on
demand, yet the disparity between the
stamped and the bullion value of the
silver dollar, amounting now almost to
60 per cent., Is anything but desirable.
For these reasons the fall In the mar
ket valuation of. silver Is to bo re
gretted. Hut It Is not to bo remedied In
a manner different from tho method
which would bo employed to check the
fall In the price of nny other, com
modity. Anthracite coal went through
silver's experience not long ago. There
was mi overproduction, the market
rating dropped below tho line of safety
to producers nnd they finally co-op
erated to restrict the output to fit the
demand, whereupon the price went up.
Silver Is different from coal In respect
of tho fact that It Is not destroyed by
use, and that would maku more difficult
tho regulation of Its price by a restrlc
tlon of production, Hut while this
remedy would require a longer time
than In the case of either hard or soft
coal, It Is the only one which offers
nny promlso of ultimate success and
therefore merits trial.
Heal friends of Bllver will do well now
to counsel the abandonment of the
hopeless attempt to lift that metal up
to a parity with gold by legislation.
Failure along this line, which Is Inevi
table, only causes silver to fall lower.
The commercial process of a limited
production until the need for sliver
shall be greater than Its available
supply U the one and only cure now
left for tho Ills resulting from the
white metal's abasement, and It cannot
too soon be applied.
Hepresentatlvo Grosvenor and Senat
or Gnlllnger, In nttacklng civil service
reform, both complain that the exam
inations required of applicants for of
fice amount In many cases to absolute
farces, as for example In the require
ment In ono branch of the govern
ment service that the applicant hop
twelve feet on one foot, naked. Hut
a good many of them, If report be
true, ought to be made to hop a great
deal further than that.
It Is estimated by railway expert
that 100,000 more men are employed by
the railways of the United States now
than were employed a year ago, which
means at least $3,000,000 more a month
In wages than then. It will not bo nn
easy task to convince these men that
prosperity's return Is merely a dream.
A Quebec correspondent of the Sun
has discovered that the Canadian gov
ernment during the past year, has
quietly been equipping all Its arsenals
with brand new Implements of warfare,
and the Inference Is1 that Canada an
ticipates trouble with the United
States. We shall not lose sleep.

are no rules by which It can be told In
udvunce how an effort of this kind Is go

spelling may be. Hut the real enormities
of tho English system or lack of It can
only become apparent to the careful stu
dent of such matttiK and too more care
ful tho stddelit the greater tho enormit
ies. Ho will, It Is true, succeed in bring
ing out a rulo or two for the guidance of
those who come after him, but tho rules
will bo few und the names many, so that
his work Is of little value at best. It can
be safely said, however, that an English
man's name Is his to muss up, quite as
much as his home Is his castle, and th-J
results of one are as Incongruous us tho
castle ship of the other. There are three
names fiom tho Fmich, to take an ex
ample quite at random, which came into
English nt nearly the some tlmo und have,
much tho same sort of meaning. These
urn Ileuuchump, u pleasant field; lleuu
clerc, a good writer, and Heaulln, well
ended, uH of them, It will he noted, hav
ing tho same word for their first syl
lable. Will It be believed that they are
pronounced as If spelled beecham, with
a long ".;" boclur, with a long "o," and
blffln. with a short "I"? What, then, is
the luw governing the word "beau" In
composition'.' There isn't any.
o
Hut there au u few laws, as has been
tald. "Stor.o" In combination with other
syllables. Itself being the last. Is always
culled "stun." Thus Huckstone und
Itlackstone are rpulled indifferently bux
tcn and ulaxulon, while Uludstono !s
culled gladstun, of course. "Ou" at tho
beginning of u name is "oo" long, as In
Onse, Oules!", Oiitram. Ousely und pome,
others. "Ough" has tho uniform sound
of "uf" In monosyllables, us In dough,
Hough and I-ough, instead of being dis
tributed all over tho alphabet, as in com.
won nouns. In the termlnatlonal "ces
tcr" tho two letters "c" ami "e' ure not
sounded, and they generally succeed in
drawing others clown with them, Hlccs
ter (bister), Cirencester (slseter), and
some others not so much so. "O" is gen
erally hurd before "e" and "1" also, as In
Elgin, Glllott, Gill, Gilford and some oth
ers, but short In Nigel, a Latin name, nnd
In GllUtt, as coming from Giles, another
Latin name. Termlnatlonal "ohun" Is
"oon," as in Hohun and Mohuu. "Hope"
Is "up" with a short "u," as In Court
hope, Stanhope (cortup, stanup), and
ninny more. "Ham" Is "urn," the vowel
sound being tho obscurest possible. Nor
does the "h" in this soften the "t" it may
happen to follow, therefore Gotham Is
got'm. Hotham Is hut'm Hentham
benfni, nnd so on. "Vs" as an ending
might better have the "y" out, for Oldys
Is evids; Sandys, sands; l'epys peps, peeps
or pips; Knollys. nolz, und Wemys,
weems. Initial "a" is long in Aram una
Avan, and It Is also long in tho first syl
lables of Harlng, Ilagehot (baje-ut), and
llathurst, where the "th" Is sounded as
In the word "then," "Er" is generally
pronounced nr, as In Uerkcley, Derby,
Herts, Hertford, Dcrwent ami many
more. This Is the oSd English rulo In such
matters, us may bo teen In llartram und
Hertntm. Hernard and llarnard, and In
tho common nouns "merchant" and
"clerk," from which corao the not un
usuul family names Marchant and Clark.
Short "o" Is frequently the Bhort "u" or
today, an In Cromwell, Holeyn nnd oth
ers. And It Is Just here or hereabouts that
rules stop.

From the Providence Journal.
Has anarchy the upper hand of clvlllzn.
tlon? Is there no real protection against
Irresponsible riot despite all the safe
guards of government? Tho .sasslna
tlon of Seror Canovns is ono more strik
ing demonstiatlon of the pnit which tho
pistol or the dagger In the hand of n
single re:kless man may play In the des
tinies of nations. So far as history rec
ords, tho leaders of the rate have had o
face this peril. William the Silent und
Henry of Niuarre are conspicuous cases
of a great work Interrupted by death at
an assassin's whim. In their day, of
course, violent deaths were in the main
more common thun they are now. Men
of low and high degree had to encounter
the personal vengeance of their enemies.
There was less reliance upon tho state as
the avenger of injuries, less confidence,
Indeed, In its ability or even Its willing
ness to punish criminals. The orderly ad
ministration of Justice has certainly
ganed within the past two centuries. So
fur us tho majority of mankind is con
corned, few have reason to suppose that
they will not die quietly in their beds.
Such sudden takings eff as are common
In thes? duy. ure mostly accidental und
not Intentional.
o
Nevertheless, It Is true enough that
violence even to the point of murder
might be much more frequent than It Is
were anything to be gained in conse
quence. Tho rulers of the earth, the men
In high ofllrtal position, can have no very
great afsuranco of personal safety. What
has ht.1 pei.ed to Senor Canovas may hap
pen nt any moment to any monarch or
statesman who hns become hateful, not
merely to a portion of t) e nation, but to
a slnglo unbalanced Individual. We have
hud stcrtllng examples within the last
decride or two of the dangers which even
tho htds of constitutionally governed
countriea nro compelled by their position
to run. Tho nssasslnatlor. of Lincoln
tho first great tragedy of tho kind in our
own history wns easily accounted for; It
was a not unnnturul result of the pas
sions uroueed by civil war, and If it had
come earlier no one would have been
greatly surprUed. Garfield was simply
shot down by one who was practically a
madman; and a part of the horror of
Gulteau'3 crime was tho illustration It
offered of the ense with which the head
of the nation could be removed by any
one who had a reul or fancied grievance
ngalnst him. Since then our presidents
have been better protected; but protection
in such cases counts for comparatively
little. The man who wants to kill another
will find hla opportunity.
o
Tho murder of President Carnot is an
other case of deliberate assassination for
no concelvablo object. It used to be sup
posed that tyrants only, or men who had
won unpopularity by their brutalities or
their disregard of popular rights, had
much occasion to beware of the assassin,
Hut this red-handed sneak observes no
difference bctwcun Trojan and Tyrian.
The best of men Is as shining a mark for
his knife as the worst. When King Hum
bert was recently shot nt he calmly re
marked that this was one of tho acci
dents of hlstrade. It was a melancholy
witticism In ""which there was only too
much truth. Hcast of the strength of
civilized government all wo may, an
archy still may overturn Its head by a
single stroke. Furthermore, it has some
thing besides Individual murder to de
pend upon. It ran go Into the business
wholesale by tho Judicious use of dyna
mite and send whole communities Into
hysterics of terror. Of course in the long
run such tactics defeat themselves.
Nothing permanent Is over accomplished
by them. The anarchists themselves are
somewhat volubly eager to say that thev
do not npprove the assassination of Seller
Canovas. Hut It Is at least a sobering
thought to reflect tlat despite all civiliza
tion can do anarchy has so much of an
upper hand that It can whenever It
chooses remove obnoxious rulers or ter
rorize whole communities.
FOREST DESTItUCTION.
From tho Hoston Advertiser.
It Is estimated on good authority that
the value of tho timber wasted In recent
years In this country amounts to $200,
000,000, or nearly half the government rev
enues for a year. The estimate seems
large, and yet there are other competent
Judges who might be Inclined to Increase
rather than to diminish the figures. To
day, when tho country seems on the ove
of prosperity, largely because of the
crops of the west, which will be sold
abroad and will bring millions of dollars
to this country, those who realize what
forest destruction means to this country
wonder that this shameful waste has
gone on so long without an Impassioned
protest from the American people.

Most merchants say there's no business iu August. They fall into the
rut of not expecting it, and they don't get it. It's different here. We expect
business all the year round, and we get it, because we have the goods you need at
the time you need them, and we are satisfied to take great big losses now to clear
our shelves.
