Joseph A. Scranton ns one of the new park commissioners the present Democratic mayor of Scranton doubtless discharges a cam paign obligation Incurred when Mr. Scranton lent the nld of his paper and his Influence to defeat the regular Re publican nominee. It Is fitting that party betrayal should receive Its price. A Public Duty. We desire to call attention to a sen sible opinion on tho bituminous strike reprinted In another column .from the Ney York Sun. Thatjournal. with Its nccuslbmed perspicacity, has grasped the'?xnct and full significance of tho Issue now pending between operators and miners In the bituminous region, and has presented, In a sentence, the one temedy which, if fairly applied, would end the-trouble, leaving all con cerned the Immediate or the ultimate galriefs. It will be noted that the basis of set tlement proposed by the Sun corre sponds almost word for word with the advice given In "Washington nearly a month ago by the president of the An thracite Coal Operators' association. That gentleman's opinion rested upon practical experience gained when the market conditions now observed In the bituminous trade prevailed In an al most Identical form In the anthracite market. He differed from some of the voluble commentators upon this sub ject In that he knew what he was talk ing about. An additional thought suggests Itself. Let the bituminous operators come to gether for Justice and desist from their short-sighted attempt to trick down a Just protest of underpaid workmen by questionable use of the equity courts through amazing Injunctions. The de mands of the strikers being, as the Sun frankly admits, grounded In jus tice and approved by the conscience of the Amerlcun people, they are not to be vanquished by the unprecedented course of picked courts In Issuing upon the suit of scared operators sweeping decrees forbidding the men who make this protest the right to use the high ways. It Is hlsh time. It seems to us, that public sentiment began to make Itself felt In this matter. Here Is a vast or ganization of men who, in revolt from starvation wages, have for well-nigh a month conducted the largest strike In the history of labor movements peaceably and In respectful deference to the rights of the community. Their demand for a living wage is met by orders of court forbidding them to walk upon the public thoroughfares. No or der of court restrains the operators from prolonging n trade condition subject to their remedy but under which, until the remedy Is applied, starvation wages are the necessary al ternative from entire idleness. The court, thoush it appears to have ex traordinary power so far as the strikers are concerned, has no power to make the operator move for a fair selling price for his commodity. Hut public opinion has, and public opinion. If It be true to the best traditions of Ameri can conscience and character, will not in the present emergency of labor in the bituminous coal fields fall to rally to its support. Sound and sensible advice is that given by ex-Governor Flower in the speech elsewhere reprinted. In this time of business revival It behooves all good Americans to get on their feet mentally and take a rational view of things. The Cosmopolitan University. A detailed explanation of the method of Instruction to bo employed by John Urlsben Walker's Cosmopolitan unlver Blty has been made public ns follows: A student will foiwurd to the university his name and nildress, with infoimatlon as to his previous courses of study, his occupation in life, tho putpose for which education is sought, and the studies which the applicant desires to pursue absolute. ly tha only condition Imposed being that tho applicant shall pledge himself to a given number of hours of study. Each such statement will go to Dr. Andrews, and will receive his personal and careful consideration. Ho will map out the course of study which he deems the best possible for the applicant In the light of the Infor mation conveyed. Ho will then despatch his own diagnosis of the applicant's case and prescription therefor to the moxt eminent expert on tho particular study with whom he is acquainted. This expert will revise the course and the accompany ing Instructions, and will return the docu ment to President Andrews, who will then carefully go all over It again, after which It will be sent to tho applicant. The uni versity will then continue at tho service of the ptudent for such additional Instruc tion and guidance as to may require, and he may at any tlmo bo examined on tho sturdles he has pursued, If he thinks himself prepared. Already 1,400 names have been en rolled and others nro coming In dally. Inasmuch as no charge Is made It would seem that the. Institution ought not to lack pupils. Mr. Walker thus explains the principle held In view by nun in establishing this free corres pondence school for the people: "The central idea Is that of bringing liberal education, In Its broadest sense, within the reach of many who have the aspir ation, but are deprived of the oppor tunity. Environing duties or lack of means are barriers which exclude many bright minds from their fullest ripening. As the result of the develop ment of our public school system, and the cheapening of book's, there has grown up a large class of men and wo men who seek either education in Us moat extended aspect, or desire to ex tend their knowledge itr special lines. But comparatively few of these are so situated that the great educational In stitutions of the country are open to them. Yet It Is of the highest Import once to the republic and the general welfare that education should be ex tended. In the intelligence of the greatest number Ilea the Tiope of good government and general .prosperity. False and limited education may cause discontent. Ileal education opens tho mind to the truth of actual surround ings, dissipates the miasma of falsci Ideals, and tends to right thinking, right living, and happiness." The cssontlul merit of this form of Instruction Is that It will furnish guld nnce to those who are actually nmbl tloua to educate themselves. It pro vides no penalties for failure to study as ugreed; tho pupil, to be benefitted, must possess the grit to go on, by him self, or else derive tio benefit. This Is self-help In a highly developed form, and It seems reasonable to supposo that among pupils of this class tho Cosmopolitan university will do good. It certainly cannot do harm. We Bhall await Its practical operation with much Interest. Think of this: More money Is lost in ono year In the United States by bad roads than Is collected nt all our cus tom houses or than is secured through lntcrnnl taxes. Had roads cost tho American people $300,000,000, or one third their annual grog bill. What a blessing It would be If our fellow citi zens would economize for one year on alcohol enough to do away with the notoriously uneconomic highways. The Law and Its Delays. .Voting tho fact that one week after the anarchist, Anglollllo, had assassin ated the pietnler of Spain, he was con victed nnd sentenced to death, a sen tence which will be executed without delay, the Chicago Times-Herald points this timely moral: They do these things better abroad. In European countries a murder means an execution, promptly nnd Inevitably. In the United States a murder may mean ev erything from ncqulttal to the gollows or tho electric chair. As a matter of fact, however, few American murderers are executed. Generally they escape with a few year ot Imprisonment. Laxity In tho execution of the law breeds contempt for It, This Is tho foundation on which lynch law and mob violence rest. Tho best way to prevent lawlessness Is to le form tho legal and Judicial machinery so that tho Interests of the state will be cared for as faithfully as are the inter ests of the lawbreakers under the exist ing regime. In this regard the unlte-1 States has much to learn trom the older civilizations of Europe. It seems a fact that almost the whole tendency of legal processes In this country Is toward the postponement of justice by costly appeals, technical Is sues which do not affect the central question of Innocence or guilt, nnd ar tifices In pleading calculated to becloud a jury's Judgment. We do not have to take laymen's opinions on this sub ject. Some of tho strongest nrraign menta of the existing system of crim inal jurisprudence come from men themselves learned In the law but hon est enough to admit that the proper aim of the legal machinery should be to facilitate the administration of jus lice between man and man. Even In civil suits this same tendency is mani fest, and occasionally in exaggerated form as, for Instance, in tho Iowa calf case, wherein litigation involving tho ownership of a $17 calf ran along for upward of twenty years and accumu lated .a final bill of costs extending well into the thousands. But here tho de lays and expenses of litigation have the salutary effect of warning many In dividuals to settle their differences out side ot court. In criminal cases, and especially In criminal cases Involving flagrant iolattons of statutory nnd moral law, there Is not this alternative, and it is doubly to th.2 public interest once in inculcating- better respect for luw and again from an economic stand pointthat the work of tho criminal courts should he expedited. As to how such a desirable result may most successfully be effected It Is not for a layman to say. But if among law yers as a class there were a higher code of professional ethics constraining each member of the bar to regard himself, as In fact' he Is, an officer of society, under oath not to thwart but to further the ends of justice, so that when, at cne trial of anv cause, It clearly ap peared that th'o verdict represented substantial justice that practitioner would not be the first to propose some adroit professional scheme of appeal or delay, we might with reason expect better consequences. Whether such an exaltation ot the general standard of tho profession is feasible or not is an open question; but It is worthy of remark, even in the face of popular skepticism on this point, that the truest successes which have been built up In the practice of tho law In the United States have In the main been erected on this higher foundation. The hue and crj- having been raised against President Andrews on account If his economic views, every Blanche, Tray and Sweetheart in the profession of Journalism seems determined to bark at him In chorus nnd likewise to bnarl at John Brlsben Walker and tho Cosmopolitan magazine. We will not be surprised If this Idiotic outcry shall make Andrews and Walker the two most popular Americans of their time. Tight Lacing. It Is the opinion of one of tho Instruc tors nt McGIll Medical college that "a man or woman who makes a tight waist should bo given a year of hard labor In a penitentiary." This prac tical health reformer. In a public letter, says: "Just as 'a small foot never supported a great character,' to quote John Burroughs, neither does a tight waist support a great brain. Tight lacing 1b neither artistic nor fashion able. Let women read of tho 'Venus do MHo," the best type of beauty known, nnd they will find that the difference between her waist and bust was less than nine Inches. The difference be tween the waist and the bust should never exceed 10 Inches." Tho writer goes much further Into tho details of his subject, alleging, for Instance, thnt the practice of tight lacing Is more responsible than any other cause for the pains attending maternity, and Indirectly, therefore, for the disinclination which well-to-do wives evince for maternity. In New England this disinclination Is fast be coming a social danger, for in that sec tion the census statistics show that the population Is already nearly sta tionary, with the birth rate steadily decreasing. One of tho most Interest ing chapters In Mr. Bellamy's new book Is that In which he considers the vital statistics of New England and points out the sociological peril arising from the tendency of the unfit to multiply while thoso parents whoso economic and social status beet qualifies them to rear and educate children who would bo of valuo to society show a steadily Increasing desire for small families. That tho normal condition of many American women la continually tending toward lnvalldlsmvortowardithat queru lous and monotonous semblance of It which Is quite ns bnd as real sickness, Is n fact readily nttusted by physicians nnd constituting, Indeed, the chief stock In their trade. How to remedy this tendency and bring tho feminine moiety to a more rntlonal basis of physical and mental health ought, therefore, to constitute an Important problem of tho hour, meriting certainly ns much attention from real reformers ns the Issuo nbout the retirement of the greenbacks or 1G to 1. We noticed recently In this city a group of young women who had Just been graduated with honors from an eastern college for women. Presumably they could have rattled oft higher math ematics or construed Latin or Greek to the queen's taste, for their coun tenances betokened the wear nnd tear of much mentaltoll and before the eyes of most of the group were the Intellectual-looking eye-glasses that told of premature and excessive straining of the optical mechanism. But when these young women walked wo could not fall to observe that they bent forward ns If each wore a straight-Jacket, and took mincing steps as different as could be from the queenly tread which Is the natural stride of the American woman of perfect development. It did not require the gift of prophecy to fore tell the time when, of these young women, a large percentage would be nlllng matrons, to whom every little exertion would mean a pain, a clgh and a call for the doctor. And while we are free to say that this typo of sweet girl graduate Is be coming les.s common than formerly she Is yet far too numerous to justify re laxation of efforts toward the physical betterment of the sex. And now we are told that Tom John son's Cleveland steel mills have cap tured a contract for 20,000 tons of steel rails to be delivered In Ireland. Mr. Johnson will find this a decidedly more profitable Held for the exercise of his genius than in trying to defeat Mark Hanna. No act of any official connected with the present administration has elicited more general praise than Immigration Commissioner Powderly's stand with reference to Immigrant anarchists. He has struck the popular chord. It Is to be regretted that councils last night lacked time, on account of outside attractions, to pass the Chit tenden bicycle ordinance. Every day shows the need of such a law. Even nature smiles on Mark Hanna's cause and by rich harvests makes hopeless Popocracy's attack. Sodnd Advice to the Discontented From a Speech Delivered by ex-Governor Flower Before tho Now York State Grange. "Hard times are responsible for a great deal of suffering, but the worst feature of them is that they give opportunity for so many .demagogues and unsound thinkers to wrongly Influence public opinion. In such times seeds of discon tent and prejudice are planted which germinate and grow like poisonous wecda in a garden, until common sense and Industry pluck them out and cast them aside. Wo havo been through such a period during the last few years, and the demagogues have had so mucn to say that some peoplo fear tho very bot tom of society is falling out. Because people havo been poor the rich aro blamed. Business was dull, it was no money. There was no money be cause the money power had It all locked up. Industrial competition had been killed by the combinations of capital. Thus, at the doors of tho rich was laid tho responsibility .for misery, nnd tho hard times havo been used to excite pre judice against all who hold property, whether acquired by Inheritance or by hard work. This feeling will certainly diminish with the return of good times, but such sentiment Is n firebrand whoso smouldering embers will work Injury even after the flame has been quenched. Among thoso who come to our shores from foreign lands Indoctrinated with socialistic or anarchistic ideas such n prejudico is not unnatural, but theio should bo no chance for it to spread or grow In genuine American hearts, and thoso who, for selfish or political rea sons, stir It up deserve tho shame, not tho favor, of tho people. o "In discussing trusts or similar com binations of capital wo must lay asldo such prejudice and passion ns demagogues llko to arouse, and measure their evils or their benefits by ordinary standards of intelligence and common sense. We find by such observation that the trust Is not in Itself necessarily bad; but what ever Its nature it has come Into exist ence In sti let accordance with the law of social progress tho luw of co-operation and organization. To Inveigh ngalnst trusts merely because they aro trusts Is to cry out against combina tions of humnn effort and possession In every Held of activity to set one's self ngalnst tho laws of progress and In favor of retrogression nnd anarchy. Tho tendency of tho times In Industry and commerce, In charity, or in science. Is nil toward co-opcratlon and organization; and that tendency, exhibiting itself In a small and comparatively unimportant way at first, has become more and moro an Important featuro of our civilization and an essential accompaniment In every field of effort. o "Tho Standard Oil company, harsh as It may have been In competition with rivals, has certainly not taken ndvant ngo of Its monopoly to exact higher prices from tho public. So thorough and comprchenslvo has been the organization of this tremendous Industry that oil Is delivered by tho company direct to tho door of nearly every villager in tho land at tho lowest prlco over known. As an example of successful business organization after tho modern method of combination this Immenso corpora tion has no equal. Wo havo heard 11 great deal Bald about tho Sugar Trust which Is a combination of formerly In dependent sugar refineries that alono by themselves could hardly mako both ends meet. Tho result of pooling their inter ests seems to havo been to turn unprof itable business Into profitable, to glvo employment to moro men, and to re duce tho price of sugar to the consumer about 30 per cent. 1 enn see no public injury from these results. I could men tion many moro Instances whero cor porate combinations, or combinations of capital, have accomplished good results, but I havo given enough to Illustrate my suggestions. Corporations will bo greedy and selfish, Just as Individuals. They will deserve criticism, Just as Individ uals, But becauao they represent greater aggregations of capital they should not bo denounced, no milre than a man should bo attacked because ho has a fine house. .They nre, lis I have pointed out, a legltlmato and logical outgrowth of modern industrial iind commercial conditions. They have (not been shown to have dono much harm. It is rather tho harm peoplo Imagine they might do which makes peoplo uneasy. They have accomplished much good. They aro cap nblo of accomplishing much more good. Their power for mischief Is really quite smnll, Their very salvation depends upon public support. Repeated exhibitions of tyranny or Insolence, will always mean their downfall. They are always subject, becuuno of their commanding position, to tho nttneks of persons or other cor poratlons who want to bo bought off. They must nlways keep tho price of their product below tho llguro nt which nn Independent producer could furnish 'the same article, and they nro usually nblo to do this by reason of tho economies permitted by combined operation. They will become moro and more necessary Institutions ns conditions becomo moro complex, but their power for good or their success will depend very much upon tho Intelligence with which they are formed and managed. o "Tho public will watch such combina tions critically, as It should, but let us not bo blind to tho signs of the times and to tho march of progress. Let us bo fnlr In our criticisms, willing to acknowl edge what Is good, ns well as to con demn what Is evil. If the loglo of events changes conditions from what wo havo been used to, and thoso changes aro for tho permanent good of tho community or tho country, let us ndnpt ourselves and our pursuits to tho changes. Lot us not sit on tho coat-tall of progress and holler 'Whoal' Let us readjust our oc cupations and our habits, making sacri fices If wo must. Just as our forefathers had to make sacrifices to keep In line with tho march of progress. Abovo all lot thero bo no room In manly Ameri can minds for the seeds of Jealousy and discontent. Fortunes still arc within the grasp of nil who know their opportuni ties nnd take advantage of them. Com fortable homes and happy lives, which nro far better than riches, are within tho reach of nearly everybody. Thero Is more genuine happiness on your farms than nlong Fifth nvenue. To Buch men as you, representing the conservative thought of our country, wo must look for rebuke to false notions nnd wrong doctrines which men may try to dis seminate throughout the land. I urge you to keep your minds clear, to look straight ahead and to bear In mind that tho world was not made in a day and tho millennium cannot bo reached In a generation." COAL IS TOO CHEAP. From the New York Sun. Wo have spoken with some or the larg est employers In the conl .luiript- ... spectlng their present difficulties with their men, nnd without an exception they agree that tho pay Is too small. They all bellevo In higher wages, but point to the prices of coal at tho seaboard and else where us an Insuperable barrier to Im proved wages. Competition among them selves has brought coal to an unprofltablo level, and tho wage scale has followed it steadily downward. They cannot raise tho price of coal, because their competi tion is of such a nature that they can not maintain an agreement as to either production or price. They must submit to being howled nt and abused for not paying their men moro money or agree to bo stoned for demanding a better price from consumers. 0 Tho coal operator's lot is an unhappy one. Between inability to keep his men at work and Inability to get a living price for his coal ho Is likely to be crushed out, to tho advantage of none. Ho wants to pay higher wages. The pros perity of his employes Is reflected in his own condition. How is he to do It? There Is only one way; one sound, elllcaclous, nnd common-sense method. It Is to pool all east-bound coal and appoint a single sales agency to distribute It on the basis of a rational apportionment and at a price which will provldo wages for tho miner, profit for the owner of tho coal, and compensation for the railroad and the boat that carry It. 0 How grinding is the reckless competi tion that starves the miner. Impover ishes thecmplojcr. and ruins the railroad, when, were the business tactics of tho humble miners adopted, thero would be Instantly n sufficiency for all! The min ers are a unit against tho uggression of their employers; thty are banded together In one earnest and vigilant association to maintain tho price of their labor, whereas the employers are all at war with each other to see who can mine tho cheapest, and so undersell all his com petitors. The labor trust has the better of It this time. It Is winning, as it ought to win; and thnt by the sheer moral merit of its case. Now let the masters follow tho men and betake themselves to com mon sense for the obvious and handy remedy for all their troubles. rOWDEULY AND ANAUCIIISTS. From tho Rochester Chronicle. Mr. Powderly, tho commissioner ot Im migration, has taken a positive stand against tho admission into this country of anarchists who have been deported from other countries. There have been endeav ors In some quarters to mako political capital out of the appointment ot Mr. Powderly by hysterically and hypocrit ically denouncing his selection as "an In sult to labor." Mr. Powderly, however, Is one of the most level-headed friends that labor eer had In this country, and thero have been cases In which the ab senco ot his corscrvatlvo leadership has been sadly felt. On this Immigration question tho Philadelphia Times, an emi nently fair-minded Democratic paper, says "Mr, Powderly Is certainly right In tho attitude ho has assumed." And Amer ican labor, having nothing In common with anarchy and bcmb-throwlng and the like, will concedo tho correctness of this opinion. Mr. Powderly gives promise of being one of tho most efficient Immigra tion commissioners this country has ever had. DIUTI1S IN CONUKKSS. From tho Springfield Republican.
