It would be untrue to say that the county ticket yesterday placed In nom ination by the Lackawanna Democracy possesses no elements of strength. GeoRsaphlcally, to bo sure. It repre sents a masslns of the candidates In tho city and leaves the Democratlo strongholds outside of Scranton and Carbondalo practically unrepresented. On tho other hand, the men chosen for the principal places on the ticket aro mn who personally command the re spect and esteem of the communlty.thls beliiB, wo believe, especially true of Messrs. Schadt.Horn and Kelly. Without Indorsing In any dcKrco the principles which these gentlemen will represent In the ensuing campaign nor admit ting the probability of their election It Is fair,, even from a Republican standpoint, to recognize their Individu al merits and congiatulate our polit ical opponents upon having nominated good men. As the campaign progresses, and es pecially cfter tho Republicans liavo hnd the opportunity to select their standard-bearers and formulate their line of policy !n the county canvass, the subjects at Issue will be thoroughly discussed, hence It Is unnecessary to refer to them nl any length now. But the Indorsement yesterday, "fully nnd without reserve," of the Demo cratic national platform of last year Indicates that the Issues of the presi dential battle aro to be kept to the front a circumstance which Republi cans need not regret. How the makers of yesterday's slate expect to recom pense their candidates for this direct slap at the two thousand or more sound money Democrats who last year, In Lackawanna county, repudiated the objectionable principles repiesented by W. J. Hryan Is not apparent. But of this more nr.on. To Republicans tho work of tho Dem ocratic convention will suggest tho reed of reasonable harmony and cir cumspection. The outlook Is full of encouragement, and Republican victory will be comparatively easy of achieve ment provided a disposition shall bo manifested one week from next Tues day to strengthen, the party lines and place before the voters of the county a. ticket which, while being better ap portioned geographically than that nominated yesterday, shall equal or ex col It In the personnel of Its candidates and literally swamp It by the superior ity of Its principles. Now watch Duggan whet his snicker snee. An Ineffective Defense. Stung by tho criticism which has been passed upon two of the Judges of Alle gheny county for the amazing Injunc tions recently Issued' by them lrt rela tion to the bituminous strike, the Pitts burg Times, In tho first defense yet offered by the press of that city, says: "The courts have enjoined the strik ing miners from unlawful interference with tho rights of the operators and of the miners who aro still working. Upon a showing of the same state of facts they would with even more celerity en Join the most powerful corporation In Pennsylvania. In granting these in junctions they have conserved and pro tected one of the most precious and vital rights of the worklngman, name ly, the right to pursue a peaceful and lawful occupation without molestation. They have decided that every one of tho millions of tho workingmen of lAmerlca owns hlmself.and that tyranny In no shape can coerco him." An article which we reprint elsewhere from the Springfield Republican meets this contention of tho Times very fully. Intelligent objection to "government by Injunction" does not rest wholly on the fact that particular Injunctions bear heavily on tho unemployed. Tho principle at issue would offer just as strong Inducement for academic dis sent If tho Injunctions to which our Pittsburg contemporary refers had been directed, not against the strikers, but against the operators. Without considering now tho ulterior effect of such Injunctions upon an Inflamed state of public opinion the question arises, Is It advisable to permit Judges In equity to assume the powers of the legislative and executive as well as of tho judicial departments of the gov ernment: In other words, to act through Injunction proceedings, temporary and permanent, not simply to bridge an , emergency until tho cause at Issue can be tried regularly In open court, but Anally, as makers and enforcers of law? Is public opinion In the United States ready to clothe any man In any de partment of our government with such wholesale and far-reaching authority? On this broad basis of examination we do not think that the injunctions recently issued in Allegheny county can pass muster. They are repugnant In the very theory of their being. It is not necessary to assume that the Judges who made them were capable of being Influenced dishonestly; whether the injunctions were the frult3 of a conscientious exercise of tho judicial prerogative or of corrupt bargain and manipulation Is Immaterial to the point that they represent a dangerous use of tho Judicial power, and one which needs no sooner to bo understood In Its full significance by the American people than It will rest under their hearty condemnation. Hut these particular Injunctions were also Inexpedient, Inas much as they afforded unintelligent opinion tho occasion for feeling, In a crude way, that long-enjoyed rights had suddenly been cancelled without explanation, by a court acting to all appearances arbitrarily. This was es peclally unfortunate, Dunmore won't do a thing to Candl date Schadt. The chances nro that Mr. Harrlty, having captured tho Lackawanna dele- Bates, will not lose sleep over Lackawanna resolutions. tlio Boiled down, tho platform means that no sound money Democrat need apply. And they won't. Some Railway ComparLsons. Exceedingly Interesting figures upon a subject of present Importance are prcsontcd by Robert P. Porter In a let ter from England to the Boston Tran script. Mr. Porter went to the mother Isle with tho Intention of gaining data for a comparison of tho business of transportation ns conducted In Eng land with that business as conducted In the United States. It required but a little time for him to discover that tho comparison would be decidedly Instruc tive. Here, for Instance, Is a table showing tho rates of freight for a hundred-mile haul on seven articles In gen eral use, In Iowa and In England: Ono Ton, One Ton, Iown. England. Soft coal $2.CD f 1.40 Halt 2.(19 4.37 Bolts and nuts 2.C,! 4.37 Sugar 2.C0 4.37 Cutlery 5.3S G.U Tobacco 2.CD 7.31 Live poultry 5.38 8.87 "Relatively speaking," adds Mr. Por ter, "our passenger rates are lower when compared with those of England much lower when density of popula tion and tho character of accommoda tion aro considered. For example, tho English third-class trains carry pas sengers for a penny a mile, or two cents American money. The cost of flrst-clos traveling In England, with a population of C41 to the square mile, will average double this, while 09 per cent, of the noonle In the United States. population to the square mile only 21.31, - . ., . A a I travel llrst-class at an average cost, Including tho unsettled nreas of tho country, where population Is less than three to the square mile, of two cents per mile." The following comparison of tho wages paid American and English rail way labor will sulllce, as the same ratio extends substantially through other branches of the railway service: Per Day. 1'or Month Engineer. Kliuuiun. Conductors. IT. H. - SiUI.-i S'J.O.-i S8'2. 10 i:nglnnd.Sl.jrtn$l.S7 $.7to$l.l2 no. 10 "This comparison," Mr. Porter ex plains, "is yet more favorable to American railway labor when the longer hours and more onerous condi tions which constitute a day's work In England are considered. Of course, wages on the continent are still lower than those of England, so It will be seen that the United States presents the anomaly of paying the highest rate of any country In the world to those engaged In transportation, and receiv ing tho lowest rate of any country In the world for carrying freight and passengers." The railways of England, averaged, earned last year 3.SS per cent, on tho capital Invested, while in the same year the average dividend rate on American dividend-paying railway stock was only 1.57 Rer cent., and 70 per cent, of all outstanding American railway stock In 1S95 paid no dividends whatever. These figures Indicate that tho anti-railway prejudice in some parts of the United States Is largely without foundation and wholly unfair. The platform-makers evidently for got that Scranton has a Democratic mayor. Education And Crime. In consequence, largely, of tho adop tion by many states of compulsory school attendance laws, the annual re ports of tho United States commis sioner of education show a considerable gain In the number of pupils under In struction. Since 1S90 the total attend ance has Increased by 4,740,319, an In crease much larger than the Increase In population In that time. Commenting upon this fact the Phila delphia Record says: "The theory of compulsion Is based on the ground that illiteracy Is provocative of crime, and Intelligence a cure for it. With nearly one-fourth of the population of tho country In the schools. If tho theory of the compulslonlsts be correct, there ought to bo a heavy falling oft In crim inality. But there appears to be no falling off. The grade of crime rises with the grade of Intelligence. The prisons In tho states where Illiteracy Is most prevalent are not so well ten anted as In the states where education has done a more perfect work." It Is unfair to expect an immediate reflection of compulsory school attend ance In the statistics of crime. At least a generation must elapse before the benefits of a more widespread educa tion of the children of the land will be come fairly diffused. Criminal Impulse Is not a matter to bo uprooted from human nature In a day, a week or a year. But even though, after a reasonable period, the results should continue to bo as our Philadelphia contemporaiy says they are now, would this be seized upon by It or by any Intelligent person as a reason why education should be dlscouruged? If there Is any argument for free schools at all the whole of that argument Is applicable In behalf of the proposition that those schools, when made free, should be attended by the largest number of children that can safely be cared for In them. It may be. ns the Record Intimates, that education begets crime; but- we notice that shrowd business men prefer as a rule to Invest money and do busi ness In loculltles where education Is most broadly diffused. They would hardly evince this tendency If tho con nection between education and crlmo were in the nature of cause and effect. The whereabouts of tho Robinson boom remains a mystery of the passing hour. The Queen's English. A criticism offered In the September Cosmopolitan by President Andrews upon college education may be open to reply In some of Its points of attack, but not In this one: "Tho bad quality of tho written work done by fresh col lego graduates Is notorious. Not to mention commencement orations and theses, usually tho most arid and awk ward compositions Imaginable, young doctors of phllo'sophy, brilliant special Ists In their chosen line, not seldom composo wretchedly, Wry giwnmar ar.d a shocking choice of words are not their worst faults. It is the higher traits of rhetoric which suffer most. The report, newspaper article, essay, treatise, or whatever tho writing Is, lacks unity, continuity and progress. Tho discussion is begun with points that ought to come later. Arguments, If any, are not arrayed, but hopelessly Jumbled. Tho author says what ho does not mean; often contradicts him self, and not seldom ends without giv ing the reader any clear Idea of the vlow which ho would like to present." Tho president of Brown does not attrlbuto this lnelllcloncy In writing fo much to defective training In rhet oric as to tho fact that the general trend of much college Instruction Is to ward mental confusion a Btufflng of tho mind with unnrtlculatod facts and Ideas, and an arousing of mental power without subsequently disciplining it. His remedy In part Is to throw out the classics and substitute biology tho science of life, under which broad head ing nre Included political economy, po litical history and the science of gov ernment. By this means he avows that mental training would bo accomplish ed along lines afterward useful In every day life. And, of course, In larger part his remedy Is also to strengthen the living personal sympathy and In terest between pupil and "Instructor, bo that the aim of the latter will bo rather to develop fine minds and well rounded moral characters than to dis play his own erudition from the plat form or the lecturer's chair. While agreeing with this to the let ter. It needs to be said that often col lego graduates who, In spoken discus sion, carry themselves logically and well, go to pieces, as It were, when confronted with pen, ink and paper. Their ability to think far outstrips their ability to give clear and nuent .iv..nuQlnn rt Vialt Mimitrhta Mirnnrrh expression to their thoughts through the written word. Here it Is not men tal confusion which Is the seat of the difficulty but very bad, almost crimin ally bad, instruction In composition somewhere along the line of the vic tim's educational progress. The doc tor who, ufter treating a patient 111 with a curable disease, should leave that patient, crippled for llfo In some one of the five senses could be prose cuted for malpractice and made, if worth anything financially, to pay damages. There are times when it Is borne In upon editors that many so called teachers of composition should be haled Into court for obtaining pay under false pretences. fire Jiidges fo Bs Also Makers of Lau)? From tho Springfield Republican. We nre obliged to tho New York Eve ning Post for an accusation against this paper for using language in discussing the coal stiiko Injunctions calculated to lnclto the strikers to violence. Unfor tunately true is It that questions of this kind cannot be effectively discussed on tho side opposed to assumed authority without seeming to tho thoughtless and casual listener to place the speaker In tho attitude of making light of lawless acts. But tho time to deal with Issues la when they arise, nnd not when tho acts creating them have become a memory, and those who want a postponement of tho question until It Is cooler nro those who would postpone It altogether, and let admitted evils pursuo their way un opposed. Furthermore, It is not true, wo believe, that plain speech upon a labor grievanco has the effect of inciting la borers to violence. The belter way to provoke vlolenco Is to ndmit the griev ance nnd then refuse to give It voice, nnd leave it to rankle in tho breast of the victim, and drive him to desperate acts. That has been tho mistake of des potic governments from time Immemor ial, and nothing could bo worse for tho peace and order of our country than for tho press to stand muzzled before ac knowledged evils, In fear of tho effect of free and honest discussion on the masses aggrieved. o As wo see It, tho courts of equity havo raised an lssuo of such gravity In re spect to tho orderly processes of frco government that It cannot be overlooked. Thero nro two general cases to which, It must bo conceded, equity proceedings do not appertain: 1. Cases covered by existing law, such as trespass, Intimidation, assault. And yet the Injunctions Issued by tho federal court In West Virginia nnd by tho state courts In Pennsylvania, ure bpectllcally directed against possible offcnbcs of this class, and Judge Jackson goes to the length In his Injunctions of forbidding "unlawful" acts of applying equity pro ceedings to admittedly unlawful doings. Thl3 Is a palpablo abuse of power. 2. Cases whero tho Individual or corpor ation is acting clearly within the law, In a long recognized and undisturbed man ner. Whether any of tho acts calling tor tho Injunctions in West Virginia and Pennsylvania nro "f this class we do not know, though tho peaceable marching on tho public highways might seem to be, o Obviously, however, tho whole proceed ing of a peaccublo stilke as indulged in for years falls under this latter class of cases, and In directing the power of equity ngalnst any of such proceedings, the courts are making offenses of what nro not recognized by law as offenses, al though the law-making power has long been eognlzant of tho tcts. The only peg on which to hang an excuse for equity proceedings la that any striko has be come, In the prercnt complex order of in dustry, a means of publlo disturbance and Indirect Injury to many Innocent Inter ests. In tho lust analysis the strike In junction must rest here, and hero alone. for justification. And this Is the feet about a strike. It Is a cause of public disturbance, and an Injury to many In terests. But shall the Judiciary then pre sume to take upon Itself tho responsibil ity of Interfering whero tho proper au thorities have distinctly refused to actV This is to permit tho whole power of leg islature, law and administration to pass Into the hands of the courts, to be exer cised In equity and contempt proceedings, and In subversion of all tho individual rights and safeguards which experience has established. fl ench a transgression upon the duly con stituted prerogatives of government can hardly bo permitted. It Is better that so ciety sweat and suffer under these lawful strike disturbances and Injuries until It Is moved to apply a remedy In tho proper way to apply It, than that the Judiciary shall unchallenged take over initiatory powers In government which do not be long to It, FRUITLESS DISPUTATION. From tho Washington Post. "Behold how great a matter a ltttlo firo klndleth," Tho flame of a lamp comes In contact with a wisp of straw and a city Is destroyed, A spark from a rail way engine falls Into dry grass nnd de vastation sweeps over hundreds of square miles. Small causes often produce great effects In nil the affairs and relations of life. So much may depend on a seem ingly unimportant act of utterance that, If consequences could be more clearly foreseen, wlso men might be afraid to aot or talk. When, a few months ago, tho Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott Incidentally referred to Jonah and the whale.oxpress Ing the opinion that tho narrative was not Intended for literal acceptancy, It Is scarcely supposable that he meant to start a storm of controversy. He doubt less believed that tho liberalizing tenden cies of tho century had gone so far that a doubt of tho whale's having actually swallowed Jonah, retnlned him in his stomach three days and three nights, and then deposited him safely on dry land, would excite little, If any, comment. But the Doctor reckoned without his host, for his deliverance nwoko the sleeping lion of controversy and It shows no sign of a desire to sleep again. Scarcely had the words of doubt fallen from Dr. Abbott's lips when scores of valiant defenders of literal Interpretation sprang Into tho arena. Pulpits at right of hlrri, pulpits at left of him. pulpits In front of him volleyed and thundered, whllo the heavy artillery of the press, manned by expert gunners, opened on his works. Of course there was a response from those Chris tian prcachors and teachers who shared tho Doctor's views, but they wcro not permuted to speak on every platform erected to promote religion. Tho great evangelist, Dwlght L. Moody, announced .that there was no room on his Northlleld platform for any man who douuteu mat the whalo swallowed Jonah. o Tho battle begun In Brooklyn hns ex tended to tho uttermost parts of tho United States; echoes of It aro heard In Europe, and evon in far-off heathen lands tho missionaries are lining up for their share In the campaign. Ambng tho localities most disturbed by tho commo tion In HIoiit Cltv. Iowa. The Bible In stitute of that progressive town hnH de cided to hold a great convention for tho purpose of Bible discussion, not on gen eral lines, but on tho miracles of tho Old Testament. The programmo gives theso questions as tho topics to bo debated: "Wcro Adam fnd Eve really evicted from the Garden of Eden? Did Balaam's nss speak? Did tho whalo swallow Jo nah ? Did the sun pause In Its course at Joshua's command? Or were these stor. Ics Intended merely as parables, Uko those of Lazarus and Dives, tho prodi gal son and tho good Samaritan? Has the religious world erred In accepting them literally, or aro those who doubt them questioning the truth of tho Blblo Itself?" Several thousand men and wo men, Including clergymen of various de nominations, are billed to spend flvo days In the largest auditorium In Sioux City discussing theso questions. Thcro are, probably, a good many honest and Intel ligent citizens who will believe that three days In a whale's belly were pre ferable to flvo days of uproarious con tention over problems that cannot bo solved. It seems to us that this Is tith ing mint, nnlso and cummin and ne glecting weightier matters. Thero Is better work for Christians than such dis putations. The clergyman who Is doing the most good In tho world In these days Is not he who Is always trying to "prove hH doctrine orthodox by apostolic blows and knocks." TOLD BY THE STARS.

MOTHER'S KISS. Tonight, as I sit with tho smoko curling up From my pipe 'neath the old applo tree, Afar from tho town with Us echoes of strife, What gladdening dreams como to me. Sweet dreams of the past when youth's happy day Was haloed with rainbows of bliss, And each llttlo care lied swiftly away When mother stopped down with a kiss. Though tho head has grown gray slnco that happy day, There's a balm In the sllonco that falls Like a blessing tonight on a care.bur dened heart, Thero Is peace In the Joys It recalls. For I live onco again as I lived long ago, No vision so happy as this, And I sigh for tho charm that lightened the heart When mother stopped down with a kiss. And so as I sit 'neath the apple tree boughs. Near tho homestead's flowering aisles, Afar from the town with Its tumult and strife, Tho heavens seem lit up with smiles; And down from the sky Hko an angel of light, Comes one whoso beautiful foatures I know And mother stoops down with a kiss. And tho faith that she taught and the love that she sought, In my bosom find Joyous abode, For all that Is good In my tempest-torn life, Is duo to the seed that sho sowed. For faith held a promlso which lovo em phasized, And tho joy of that promlso Is this, That comfort will como when life's work Is done And mother stoops down with a kiss. E.
