Dangerous Trilling.
When rumors become current that a
certain bank Is unsafe and there Is the
ptuspect of u run on the institution,
no mom effective way has been found
for leasuilna f-cured depositors than
for tho bank officials to have ut hand
n sufllelent sum of ready money to meet
all dpiniimlH. Tills is a ltlnd of reply
which eery depositor tun appreciate.
To be sure, the bank could avail itself
of the law lenultltiR u coitaiu advance
notice from deposltois Intending: to
wlthdtaw: but It has been the general
oxiicriuiico of bankets that unless the
banks of any one community empha
size this ipqulrompnt unitedly the
bank which pns on demand gets the
business and the batiks which don't
pay on demand don't last long.

seeking to cancel that government

to enact a law thieatenlng the holders
of our bonds with tepayment in dollars
which another presidential election
might make worth only about half
what they are worth today would be
not only to deal unfairly with them,
but also to Invite a "run on the bank."

A Word of Reminder.
There are times when Scranton feels
In duty compelled to dotf its hat to
Vilkes-Earie. The assertion by Harry
A. Fuller, esq., president of the Young
Men's Chilfetlun association of that
city, upon the occasion of the celebra
tion of that association's twenty-sixth
nnlversary, that since last year an as
sociation debt of $21,000 has been re
dwed to $9,000 and will In less than a
year more be wiped out, supplies one
of thoe time-i. Entei prise like this,
which is not pilmarlly put forth with
a view to pecuniary pioflt, Is therefore
all the moie pmlbuuoi thy, being In in
ception uni-elllsh: yet we daie say thut
the liberal cltlzen.s of Wilkes-Rarre
who have conttlbuted to this encourag
ing lesult hae In moio ways than they
suspect got their moup.v's worth, and
will continue to get thH for an indell
nlte time to come.
We ate not advised at this moment
of the extent to which the past year
has witnessed a i eduction in the In
debtedness of the Sciautou Young
Men's Chi 1st Inn association, but that
the llgures will not compare favorably
with those Just cited we feel sure, mom
hhaino to Scranton. And yet thero is
no city In the country which has
Stealer reason to feel grateful and gen
erous toward an Institution of this
btoad and useful kind than Scianton
has; and we question whether there is
one wherein tho percentage of benefit
returned to tho community on the lat
ter's Investment in the woik has aver
aged higher.
This is not a begging appeul. "We
have no ulterior purpose. Nobody con
nected with tho local Young Men's
Christian association knows that these
woids are going to appear in print.
But it seems to us, from a glance at
the progress which is being made In
AVllkes-Barre in association work, that
Scrantonlans need on this subject a
word of reminder. If citizens who have
means would do for the local institu
tion what its merits warrant in the
way of practical aid and co-operation,
they would not only maintain tho lead
over Wilkea-Barre which Scranton In
most matters is entitled to, but, what
is' of vastly more Importance, they
would also perform a duty to the com
munity which stands, we fear, In some
danger of being neglected,
The value of exports from the United
States In the calondar year 1897, as
shown by revised llgures of tho Treas
ury department, was $1,099,743,554, as
compared with Cl.005,837,241 In 1890. Tho
Imports .were valued at, J7i2.Wl.359, as
'BgaVilf'$'i,,wt(;8r;B!n"isa(;.'Tlidn;aiVnce
of trade In favor of tho United States,
therefore, was $357,111,204, tho largest
on recoul, These simple figures beat
calamity howling all hollow.

kept up by Spain it is small wonder
that Spanish rule is tottering for a fall,
Electoral Defects.
Tn the Forum magazine for last No
vember ux-Se:retnry Carlisle, In an ar
ticle which we noted at tho time, point
ed out a number of what to him np
pcared us dangerous defects in our
present electoral system; In tho Forum
for February he outlines his remedy.
Tho principal danger remarked by htm
was one which might at any time arise
from a situation like that presented
in the Ilnyes-Tlldon controversy of
lSTGj in the reluctance of a majority
of the popular vote to accept a minor
ity's choice for president, notwith
standing that the latter might have a
majority In the electoral college. It
has twice happened since 1850 that the
choice of tho electoral college was not
tho prima facie choico of the people.
In 1S7G tiie iiopular vote gave Tllden an
apparent plurality of 231,6')3 and in
JSSS, nlthough Harrison was seated,
Cleveland hud 04,483 more votes than
he. Mr. Caillsle feats that this possi
bility of a discrepancy between the
popular and tho electoral vote may, It
continued, sometime lesult In trouble,
lie ulso objects to the present system
because thero Is no requirement of unl
fotmlty among the states in the choice
of presidential electors; one frtale
might choose them all nt large: an
other, partly by congress districts and
pattly ut lurge; and a third, by its
leglslutuic, thus opening the door to
heiious inequality of representation and
tc confusion.
These dangers are lutguly fanciful
and more to be deplored in theory than
to be feared In fact; but at the samo
time It Is worth our time to give heed
to Mr. Carlisle'3 remedy. "A constitu
tional amendment, providing simply
that the president and tho vice presi
dent shall be chosen by the people of
tho several states, voting by ballot, on
a day lived by congress, which shall
be the same throughout tho United
States; that the electors In each state
shall have the qualifications required
for electors of the most numerous
branch of the state legislature; that
each state shall be entitled to a num
ber of votes to be called presidential,
or electoral, votes equal to tho num
ber of its senators and jeprespntatlves
in congress; and that, in ascertaining
the lesult of the election, each! person
voted for sdiall be entitled to have
counted In his favor a number of the
presidential, or electoral, votes of cacli
state, corresponding to the proportion
of the popular vote received by him In
such state; this," ho affirms, "would
not only secure uniformity and equal
ity, but would greatly ftimpllfy tho pro
ceedings, and avoid nearly all the dan
gers incident to the exlstln? system."
'This," he continues, "i3 the honest
Democratic, and American method of
ascettainlng the choice of the peonle.
Every argument against it Is neces
sailly an argument against the right,
or capacity, of the people to govern
themselves; for, if they hare not the
right, or are not competent, to choose
the official who executes the laws, they
cannot have the right, or the capacity,
to choose those who make them. If it
could be shown that any great public
interest would be endangered by a di
rect popular vote, it might be better
to submit to a continuance of the evils
to which we are now exposed than to
make a change; but it will reareely be
contended by anyone who has caieful
ly examined the subject that our in
stitutions will be made less secure, or
that any substantial interest will be
Impel illed, by simplifying the process
of government or the methods of choos
ing Important public officials."
Tho argument is Interesting; but it
is open to doubt it the remedy would
be wholly effective. Ceitalnly it needi
amendment in respect ot basing the
number ot electors on the number of
representatives in congress; or rath
er, the basis o congressional repre
sentation needs to be altered to lit the
emergency presented in states like Ar
kanoas, Louisiana and Mississippi,
which use th2 ncgio in population in
timates so as to gain a big Ehowing in
congress, and then pass laws which
have the effect to prevent the negro
fiom participating in elections. Con
gressmen and electors ought both to be
allotted on the basis of the qualified
vote cast.

Jilts Ilallie Itives, the novelist, has
been obliged tc enter a sanitarium to
test h"r wrvib. Her latest novel,
'Smoking Flax," is th'o direct cause of
the trouble. The public has thus far
been able to bear up under the strain.
Buying the Forests.
The New York legislature took a step
In the right direction last year when
it passed what was known as the
Adirondack Park act, which carried
Willi it nn appropriation ot $1,000,000 to
be used at tho discretion of a board of
commissioners In the purchase of land
needed to carry out tho scheme of te
storing the forests of tho state which
were rapidly disappearing under tho
axe of tho ruthless lumberman. Tho
recent leport made by the commission
er b Indicates that a big year's work has
been accomplished by th'o men Jntuist
ed with this important duty. Every
purchase made, by tho lioatd has been
with a view to its value us timber pro
petty, and It is expected that the bene
fits resulting from their discretion will
lie ot untold value in the way ot pre
serving the water sheds of the Emplro
state.
According to I he rnpoita the commis
sion has purchased 250,117 acres of land
for $!)2.99. The expenso of the year's
"business amounted to $18,702, about
fi.OOO of the foregoing being for legal
services, That the people of New York
will approve of the work of this com
mission Is rerluln. They doubtless
realize, as muny do In this state, that
tho work of paving the forests from the
Inroads of tho lumberman has been
delayed too long, and that any sum Is
not too lavish when expended In the
preservation of wooded tracts of land.
Many leaders will doubtless wonder
how long the Pennsylvania lawmakers
will turn a deaf ear to tho pleadings of
tho small but enthusiastic band that is
battling for the protection of the grand
old forests of Pennsylvania. Notwith
standing the warnings that are given
by tho condition ot the country In the
vicinity ot the treeless tracts of land
In many localities In the lower anthra
cite coal belt, the grab legislator con
tinues on tho even tenor of his way,
unmindful of the vandal who destroys
In an hour that which cannot be re
placed In generations.
In a tecent address Governor Hast
ings pointed out with startling distinct
ness the dangers that are atjrntllng
the process of tres destruction In Penn
sylvania. It Is n pity that his odvlco
on the subject could not be ever before
the lawmakers ot this groat common
wealth, mid before tho voters also.
None savo the statistician realizes the
perceptible decreaso In the water sup
ply cath year, which Is due almost
solely to the destruction of the patches
of woodland which are becoming more
raro as time moves on.
Some means should be provided not
only for the protection of the remain
ing forests Intt for the encourogement
of tree planting in nil sections. In
many localities there are a few well
meaning persons who engage in the
work of treo planting yearly, but they
are but a handful when compared to
the greedy hotde that is continually
bowing and hacking regardless ot the
burdens and sufferings that they are
btlnglng upon future generations.

MURDER.
From tho New York Sun.
What Simla has done during the last
three years In Cuba In tho way of exter
minating that Island's people is mora
awful in Its destruction than tho entlro
achievement of Spanish armies In the
course of tholr wars to extend Spain's
dominion In other countries.
o
Charles V., In tho Netherlands, In tho
thirty years elapsing from 1520 to 1550,
brought death to about 100,000 persons,
according to tho estimate of Urotlus.
From that tlmo up to 150(5 the Bpanlards
murdered in cold blood, suld the Prince
of Orango, over 50,000 persona. Tho Duke
of Alva, In a well known letter to his
master, Don Philip 1I boasted of having
slain In cities and towns, within llvo
years, 18,000 Dutch people. But what Is
all that when, from 1&95 to 18.17, oh do
dared by the bishop of Havana, 530,000,
or more than half a million victims of
Spanish barbarity have been burled in
tho cemeteries of Cuba? What are the

during the struggle for independence In

The Jingo Sch?m?
of Foreign Policy
From a Speech by Senator Frye, ot
Maine Delivered Before tho Manufac
turers' Association.
p? LADSTONE, a quarter of a cen
I U tury ago, said: "Our daughter bc
I n yond the sens may some tlmo or
UjJ other overtake- her mother. Sup
pose ho should speak today, what
would ho say? Our daughter beyond
seas has overtaken her mother, as nho
has distanced her In the race, and can
only seo her now by looking backward
from tho dust raised by tho winds ot
our magulllccnt industries. (Tremendous
applause.) Wo havo tho best home mar
ket In all tho world, our people consum
ing per capita at least onc-thlrd moro
than any others. You are trying to
reach another market. The first market
you are trying to reach is tho market of
tho Orient. You don't purposo to leave
that to be closed against you. Is thero
any way you enn shorten distance, in
duce freight, lesson tlmo in your search
for the Orient market'.' Let the Nica
ragua canal bo constructed by the Unit
ed States and you havo got it. (Ap
plause.) I say by tho United States, be
cause tho government can construct that
canal for one-halt what nny private cor
poiatton could do it for unaided. (Ap
plause.) o
How far uro you from tho Qrlcnt to
day ns compared with your competitors?
You are from 3,000 to 4,000 miles further
off from Japan, lrom China, from India,
from tho southwest coist of South
America, New York Is than Liverpool,
your great competitor. Tho moment that
tho Nicaragua canal has been construct
ed New York is as near llong Kong t s
Liverpool is (applaue), 1,200 miles nearer
tho nearest ports of China, 1,900 miles
nearer Japan, 1,000 miles nearer Aus
tralia, nearer British India, and 2,700
miles nearer the western coast of South
America. (Applause.) I think Yankees
can take advantage of all such tilings
as these. (Applauso and laughter.)
o
Thero is a treaty pending In the United
States senate today for tho annexation
of tho Hawaiian Islands. (Applause.)
You aro business men and I am not go
ing to sentimentalize with you. You are
hunting for markets? Do you want to
loso that one? Well, if the United States
senate does not give a two-thirds voto
in favor of annexation you havo lost it.
Why do I say that? I say that it tho
treaty Is not ratified by tho United States
senate in less than a year the Hawaiian
Islands will bo under the protection of
Croat Britain. Y'our Nicaragua canal,
which is certain to bo built, would moro
than ten-fold increase tho value of thoso
islands. They look right exactly into its
western mouth. In tho hands of an ene
my, your canal would not be worth a
cent; would bo utterly useless to us. In
our hands, with a naval and coaling sta
tion there, wo could protect that canat
nnd our entlro western coast against tho
world.
o
Gentlemen, If I were a dictator with
absolute power in this republic I would
build the Nicaragua canal, 1 would an
nex the Hawaiian Islands. I would old in
the construction of a railroad from our
Southern border down to Terro del Fuo
go, I would establish swift steamship
lines to China and Japan, to. Australia,
and to every commercial port in South
America, and then, by reciprocal treaty
or In any other lawful way in which it
could bo done, I would participate largely
in the trade of tho Orient, and I would
tako entirely the trade of Mexico, of
South America, and of tho Central Ameri
can states by tho free admission of all
our goods Into them. (Applause.) Cost
ly, say you? Yes, costly. Thero was
nover anything worth purchasing yet
that does not have its price. Costly?
Not so costly as to find yourself decreas
ing In profit from year to jear und de
creasing in demand at homo from year
to year; cutting down wages of your in
telligent workmen from your to year and
finally degrading and reducing them to
tho condition of the workmen of Eu
rope. Why, gentlemen, that is so costly
that it might it might, I say risk tho
life of the republic Itself.
COLLEGES AND CHRISTIANITY.
From tho Philadelphia Press.
At Cornell 55 per cent, of tho students
are professing Christians and at Prince
ton 05 per cent. Colby university reports
50 per cent., and Williams college 60 per
cent. At Brown about two-thirds of tho
young men are church members. Am
herst reports 70 per cent, of her students
us communicants, Denlsou university 80
per cent., and Boston university S5 per
cent. In 1895 Dr. Angel!, of the Michigan
university, took a religious census of
the state universities. Taking the state
universities of Indiana, Kansas, Michi
gan, Wnshlnston and West Virginia as
representative hi tegard to size and geo
graphical distribution, it was found that
out of 6,173 students enrolled, 4,407 were
affiliated by mcmbetshlp or attendance
with some religious body, 2,581 (55 per
cent, of tho number enrolled) were church
members. In sixteen state unlveisities
which in 1895 had an enrollment of u,
C37 students, 10,517, or more than 70 por
cent., were chuich members or adher
ents. In the university of Indiana 62 per
cunt, of the male students wero church
members, and 74 per cent, of the female
students. In Michigan unlvorslty C2 per
cent, of the men and 70 per cent, of tho
women were members of the churches.
Tho same proportion holds In othor
