Holy Writ wherein Christ ndmonlshed him only who was without sin to cast the first s-tone. Next Tuesday's Election. Next Tuesday being election day, It may not bo anitas to remind the Re publican electors of Scranton of the excellence of their present municipal ticket. While the campaign to date has been devoid of Incident the Im portance of electing a competent and trustworthy board of six Is great en ough to warrant careful weighing of qualifications and the casting llnally of an Intelligent ballot. The welfare of the public schools, which Is at stake, calls for more than the passive public Interest which 1ms characterized the campaign thus fnr. We have said and we now repeat that the olllce of school director Is one of the most Imperious In the list of of fices In a republican form of govern ment. The six men who shall be elect ed next week will, when Installed In oflice, possess power more nearly nbso lute within the area of their jurisdic tion than Is possessed by any other governing board or executive agency within our knowledge. 13y a major ity vote and without teference or pause they can do what they please with about $300,000 of the public funds tak en annually from Scranton taxpayers. Over their action there hangs no dread of a veto. The discretion to levy and spend taxes Is theirs practically with out qualification or restriction. Not only is this true but nlso In the de tailed management of the school .sys tem their will Is usually sovereign, Wo know of no private board of director) In the city whose members are en trusted with responsibility half so far reaching as will be that which will devolve upon the six candidates for school director receiving on Tuesday next a plurality of the votes cast for that office. In preparing their ballots, then, thoughtful citizens will bear this fact in mind. ' Wo commend the Republican ticket less because we have desired to see partisan lines drawn In this particular election than because It Is our judg ment that the candidates named on it are preferoble men. At the same time, the party Issue having entered the sit uation, wo shall be pleased to see the Republican voters stand b'y the party standard and thus in a small way get ready for the larger political engage ments of the more distant but not re mote future. Senator Mason's Cuban resolution unquestionably voices the overwhelm ing sentiment of the American people, but we see no new reason to suppose that their opinion counts. dross Contempt of Court. The publication In reference to the Martin trial to which Judge Wood ward took such vigorous exception on Monday Is understood to have been a cartoon by Davenport In the New- York Journal. At least this Is the Journal's own belief and acknowledgment.. That cartoon depicted Sheriff Martin as standing with smoking pistol In hand over the prostrate form of a crippled miner while back of him knelt the min er's wife and children, in tears. The Intent of the cartoon was clearly vic ious. Contrary to all principles of Jus tice It presupposed on the sheriff's part malicious guilt, whereas the law holds every defendant Innocent until guilt Is regularly established by due process of law. Rut even worse than the snap Judg ment which it sought to pass, Is tho gross Impropriety of such a publica tion during the progress of the trial of the. case. We believe there Is no better established or wiser and fulrer rule In journalism, among papers which have regard for decency, than that which withholds prejudicial comment of any kind concerning n case In pro cess of adjudication In open court. While It Is the duty of Journalism In a case of public Interest to print a fair record of the testimony and of the essential points In pleading and in the Judicial charge to tho Jury, we aro aware of no rule In law or morals which clothes a newspaper with auth ority to usurp the functions of Judge and Jury. Such usurpation, on tho contrary, constitutes the most flagrant kind of contempt of court and cannot be reprobated too severely. .So far as Tho Tribune Is concerned It has purposely refrained from hav ing a special representative of Its own at this trial, so as to avoid even the appearance of any efforts to color ita reports. The Associated Press, which supplies us with tho reports that we have been printing, Is not only impar tial but is represented in Wllkes-Barre ?y men who come to their work abso lately free of any preconceived opin ions or sympathies, Their narrative of the court proceedings is photographic In accuracy, When the trial Is ended we shall give expression to our views Concerning it, but not before. .'Because tho Ornnd Rapids, Mich., Free Press, had ' said that every Idle men in that city could get work if he wnnted to, 80 men applied to it for employment. True to its word, it of fered to hire eaoh one at $1.60 a day and CO of the,, 80 forthwith flunked. CalaiHlty.".H(iU'Iinc.'.aV a rule prooeeds chiefly from those who don't, want to work except with their vocal chords. If there Is anything In the doctrine of probabilities, tho next few weeks ought to pee very material changes In tho Cuban situation. That Spuln is now simply playing for delay is clear ly evident, but can the play win? Is President McKlnley In a mood to be held up much longer? Will congress let It go nt that 7 Thero have been many disappointments of Just expecta tion in this matter In the past and the Wear nnd tear of these on the average American's confidence Is beginning to tell: yet we still venture to prccHct that the cutaln will bo rung' down on Spain's tragic farce in Cuba ere the robins nest again. A Public Menace. Expert testimony on a point of llvo arM growing Interest Is supplied by Coroner Ashbtidge of Philadelphia in an lntjrview printed lit the Uulletln of that city. The subject of the inter view was the harmful effects result ing from the publication of sensational details I).. connection with reports of suicides nnd homicides. Tho coronet' from his oillclal experlencu cited these Instances; About two years ago a widow, 50 years old, committed suicide by hanging. She fastened a rope to tho knob of a door In her bed-room. Then she passed the other end over tho top of tho door and stood on a chair while she adjusted the noose. After completing these arrangements she kicked the chair to ono side. Her body hung so that when the door was opened It swung with It. Tho sensational details of tho airair were given wldo publicity In the news papers, and in less than a week two wo men living In tho Immediate neighbor hood took their lives In precisely tho same manner. I investigated tho cases thoroughly, and found that the last two women had taken their lives without nny cause. Inquiry showed that they had eagerly read every detail connected with the first suicide. One of them had even sent a servant out to purchase lor her a copy of every paper containing an ac count of the first case. Sho had fairly saturated her mind with the sensational details before hanging herself. .Chord was another ease. A woman klllc'd her self by swallowing a concoction of alum and laudanum. Her husband had been Imprisoned for something, nnd she told her friends she couldn't stand tho dis grace. This case was also given a great deal of publicity. Mark what followed. In less than six weeks thero were live other persons In Philadelphia who ended their lives by drinking laudanum nnd alum. " The coroner gave other Instances, but these amply sufllce to Illustrate his point. His deduction Is that tho de tails connected with some homicides, owing to their brutality and atrocity, had, best not be published. ''Their publication." he asserts, 'iias a great influence on seme natures. Newspa pers go Into our homes, nnd children get liold of them. The reading of hor rible details Is bound to leave an Im pression on their minds. The effect Is not Immediate. Jt may not manifest Itself until by sickness or worry the person has been temporarily changed. Then bad Impressions are npt to work evil." There can be no question of the cor rectness of this opinion. The commu nity has no more insidious menace than Is Pinbodlod In tho sensational news paper. Crimes Innumerable can be laid at Its door. The trial of M. Zola in France re minds one of an American election bribery investigation. Last Year's Book Production. According to figures compiled by the Publishers' Weekly there were Issued in 1S97 by American publishers 492S books, a smaller number than had been Issued in any previous year since 1S93, when the number was 44 less. Rut though comparatively small the year's output is reported as of uncommonly good quality, entitling the year, in the Weekly's opinion, to distinctly credit able mention. One meritorious thing In the year's record was a decrease of nearly 60 per cent. In the number of English novels republished In this country. In 1898, 090 of these were re published; In 1897 s however, only 332 were Inflicted on the American reading public, and it is to be hoped for tho mental profit of nil concerned that this gratifying reduction will go right on. Not more than 50 English novels In any year are worthy of reproduction; prac tically all above this limit represents so much waste of Ink and paper. The Publishers' Weekly divides the publications of the year Into nineteen principal departments. In each of these, except theology nnd religion, ju venile, physical und mathematical science, and mental and moral philos ophy, there was a falling off In the number of books published from the number published in 1890. The figures In fiction are most noteworthy. Novels from all sources printed or Imported in 1897 were only 809 to 1,114 in 1890. On theological and religious subjects 460 books appeared In 1S90 nnd 492 in 1S97; 55:1 law books were published In 1890, as against 509 In 1&97-, CS2 books on lit erary history, as against 415; 293 books of poetry in 1896 and 247 In 1S97; 209 books of memoirs and biography, as against 205; 177 on flne arts, as against 138, and 284 on political science, as against 100. Of the 4,928 different pub lications, 3,318 were produced by Amer ican authors and manufactured In the United States; 495 produced by foreign ers, were manufactured here; and 1,115 were English works, Imported here in sheets and hound, More than one quarter of the English Importations were of novels, most of which, as we have remarked, may well be spared. Before passing from this subject a word should be said In recognition of the steady Improvement which Is tak ing place In the mechanical department of book-making. Rooks are cheaper than ever before, yet as regards paper, print and bindings they average de cidedly better than ever before. The American portion of the trade Is chiefly responsible for this Improvement. It his practically set the pace for the trade of the world and It has only be gun along these lines. A severe attack of Klondike fever In Sioux City has resulted In a dlvorco suit. The plaintiff In tho case is Mrs. L. A. Russell. In her complaint sho states that about two months ago her husband resolved to go up to the Klondike in the spring, and immediate ly began u system of training to pre pare. hlmBclf for the hardships of tho life of a gold digger. He 'would per mit rto lire' In the house and slept "with tho bed-room windows all open. He also confined himself and family to a diet of "salt horse," beans nnd llmo juice. As Mrs. Russell had no Idea of going to the Klondike, she objected to the training. She now asks $10,000 alimony and tho custody of her two children, nnd it Is evident that sho deserves both. Judge Woodward Is certnlnly to bo commended for his action In exclud ing the yellow journal artists from the trial of Sheriff Martin and his depu ties. It is bad enough for tho citi zens of Luzerne to be written up after the style of a wild western mining camp serial without additional cari cature by the nightmare artist. It Is said that Rev.

Trtie Mission of This Republic From tho New York Tribune. jj MOXUthc opponents of an American Al policy in Hawaii there Is no ono more worthy of respect than I'ro LJU fessor Edward von Hoist. Ills es timable character and scholarly attain ments Invest his utterances on any sub ject with a title to respectful considera tion. In the present case, moreover, ho nt least Is free from the suspicion of hel lish and ulterior motives which unavoid ably falls upon some of those who are loudest In opposition to the annexation of Hawaii, Ho Is not interested in tho Sugar Trust, and there Is no reason to suppose that he Is working for the ad vantage of the commerce of nny aiien nation. The salient points in his recent argument egalr.st annexation, which Is being widely exploited us a perfectly un answerable and final word against the pending treatv, are therefore to lie serl oiisly considered. o From tho military point of view, ho thinks, annexation would be a bad thing for tho United Stntcs. since the posses sion of the Islands, entailing fortification and protection of them, would be a sourco of weakness. Hut In the very next breath he says that the reason why Hawaii has not been grabbed by Mime oilier power is that all the world knows the United Slates would not be an In different looker-on. Exactly. Hut Is It bupposablo' that the United States would become Indifferent the moment it annex ed tho Islands? Would lis altitude of protection bo any less a restraining force then than now? If covetous powers have kept their hands off Hawaii in Its inde pendent state, fclmply because they iear cd tho United States would resent their aggressions upon it. Is it supposable that they will rush to seize the Islands when they are a part of this union and It Is certain that any attack upon them will mean war with the wliole power of the United States? o From the diplomatic point of view, al so, Professor von Hoist objects to annex ation. It would entangle this nation with the politics of the rest of tho world. If that wero true, It would be a potent ob jection. Hut, with all respect to Protes sor von Hoist, It Is not true. On the con trary, annexation would free this country from such entanglements nnd from the danger of them. For fifty years the United States has had to engage In per iodical disputes with various European powers to keep them from seizing Ha waii. On moro than ono occasion It has had almost to threaten wur to make them relinquish tho hold actually fasten ed upon tho Islands. Year by year tho danger of such complications Increases, as the extent of unappropriated land und the number ot small and therefore spollable states decrease and the rivalry among land-grabbing powers consequent ly becomes more Intense. The semi or trl protectorate over Samoa is an exam ple In point. It has for years been In volving this nation In disagreeable if not dangerous controversies with u European power. Rut once Hawaii Is annexed out right to this country all such troubles and the danger of them will cease. There are no wrungles over our ownership of Louisiana. Possession of Florida In volves us In no entanglements nor broils. o Tho annexation of Hawaii means the temptation to still further annexations, says Professor von Hoist; especially the annexation of Cuba, which, as ho truly adds, has been under consideration much longer than tho annexation of Hawaii. It Is probablo that Cuba will some day bo annexed. There Is no disguising that fuct. It has been regarded as Inevitable over since the foundation of this Repub lic, Dut tho United States does not mean to grab Cuba. On tho contrary, It has at no Uttlo danger and expense to Itself been preventing the grabbing of that Island by various other powers. Its consistent contention has beou that Cuba must continue to belong to Spain, or be. como un Independent state, or else bo an nexed to tho United Statos. That Is the Amorlcan attitude today. This country will nover voluntarily Interfere to take Cuba from Spain. If ever Spain wishes to transfer tho Island to the United States, tho United States will consider the proposition, If ever the Island wins Its Independence nnd then .makes over tures for nnuexatton, tho United States will consider the proposition. That is all. That Is what the foremost states men of this union have had In mind for n hundred years. That is nil the "terri ble temptation" amounts to. -o Professor von Hoist devotes an elo. quent peroration to "the glorious mission which Providence has Intrusted to this Republic." Rut either he mlsconcolves that mission or the Republic has from first to Inst been going straight ngalnst It. As tho earlier guides and protectors of tho Republlo Baw it. that mission wns not Incompatible with tho annexation of Louisiana, n territory then vastly moro remote from tho seat of government, more dlftlcult to protect nnd moro likely to Involve us In troublo than Hawaii Is today. They deemed It not n violation of that mission to annex Florida and Or egon and Texas and Now Mexico and California and Alaska. In these things was the Republlo recreant to its mlaslon7 If so, It has by this tlmo become so hard ened a sinner that thero Is no use In trying to reform It. Uncle Sam Is Joined to his idols; let him alone. Rut there be those, nnd a vnst majority of the most judicious nnd conscientious minds of tho nation, who reckon otherwise. They be hove that It Is tho mission of this Re public to develop Its material and com mercial resources and to protect Its wel fare, nnd to do so not only for tho pres ent moment, but for Illimitable posterity. They would unify tho American system and eliminate from It all elements of dis cord, dUlntegratlon, nnd, so far as pos sible, of entanglement with alien sys tems, so that tho Republic, both now and centuries hence, may be Independent, unmenaced, self-contained nnd self-maln-talnlng, without fpar and without re proach before nil tho world. And to that end they hellovo tho nnncxntlon of Ha waii, nt Its voluntary request, will be nn Important and worthy stop, Insuring un ending benefits to both tho contracting parties and commanding tho respect nnd approval of mankind. WANTS TUG TIIINQ CLOSED. From the New York Sun. For the satisfaction ot tho Ameri can people, and for tho sake of tho fu ture that Is beforo us, tho annexation ot Hawaii should be completed without much further delay. Cloao up this trans, action of national Importance, take pos session of tho property that Is ours for tho asking, record tho title deeds at once. In order that tho country may at tend to other matters. o It makes no difference whether annex ation is consummated by treaty or by bill or Joint resolution. Tho twentieth century will caro as Uttlo about tho methods of procedure which added to our national territory this priceless station la tho Pacific as we caio now about tho exact details and legislative mechanism of the process which gave us California and .Texas and Alaska. Tho Mugwump obstructionists of national destiny will all be dead or silent; nnd they will have no successors. The American, ot tho twentieth century will bless us unani mously for having had wit enough not to allow a great opportunity to escape, not to allow n great treasure to pass for ever Into the hands of England or some other European power. They will thank heaven that wo had tho energy to strlko when the Iron was hot. - o Tho treaty hangs lu tho senate. Wheth er thero aro sixty votes thero to ratiry It if tho roll wero called today, the Sun does not profess to know. Thero may bo sixty-one. There may bo only flfty-ntne. If thero aro sixty-one, or even sixty, Jam tho treaty through. If every tradition of the senate Is crushed flat as a pancako hi tho Jamming thereof. If thero nro only lltty-nlne, and no other In sight, do not wait for the slow process of evolu tion to transform fools Into wise men, or to transmute selfish nnd self-opinionated and short-sighted and possibly Ignobly influenced opponents of annexation Into patriotic American senators with eyes that sco quite to tho horizon. Do not waste tlmo In electioneering for a two thirds majority, when a majority will sufllce. Press tho Morgan bill ahead of the treaty. Pass the Morgan bill arid send It to the house. o Tho house will pass It, too; no fear about that! The president will sign It, nnd the Stars and Stripes will float over the lovely Hawaiian archipelago. THO WRONG WAY. From the Philadelphia Tress. Tho Virginia legislature has defeated one of the silly laws prohibiting flirting which are breaking out llko a rash over the southern states. They are all relics of the antiquated view that tho way to prevent frivolous misconduct between tho sexes is to shut up women and levy pen alties on the men. The Oriental harem Is the Eastern development ot this the ory, nnd these laws prohibiting "flirt ing" which tho heads of various female seminaries South have asked for and which some have obtained from South ern legislatures In Tennessee and other slates are a relic of the harem view of women. The sound sense of the Ameri can people, which is wiser and sounder than the social conventions of any class or the sumptuary legislation ot anxious educators, has discovered a more excel lent way. Tho best cure for "flirting.'' the casual, foolish, aimless contact and acquaintance of young people. Is not to prohibit It by law, but to prevent It by education nnd social freedom. o Nobody ever heard of "flirting" In any college whern girls nnd boys are edu cated together. It grows llko a noxious weed by every roadside where girls and boys are educated separately, unless und this unless carries the law and the prophets on this matter the girls have as strenuous and severe an education as the boys, and are taught the responsibili ties of sox Instead of having their empty minds tilled with Its opportunities and privileges. Educate a young woman and throw her on her own responsibility and she will be too busy to flirt and too wise to entangle herself with casual acquaint ances. o Give a girl a superficial training, ac custom her to think of "coming out" at IS years of ago or so, Jill her mind with the prospect of masculine contact until she looks on it as a disgrace not to have had a lover beforo she Is out of her teens, lcavo her mind empty, teach her that she Is watched, surround her with social conventions which sugpest tho per petual possibility of evil and the Inevit able result Is that both she and the young men she Is thrown with will need watching and require all tho checks and balances social conventions provide. Sexual sense and sanity are not to bo got by lacking up ono sex and fining the other but by giving both trained minds and busy hands.
