SCHANTON, NOVEMBER 30, 189S.
The gossips are now rapidly, making
cabinet slates for Colonel Stone. It
nnuises them and probably does not
xxorry lilm.
A Matter of Justice.
In justice to Professor 'Pennington,
who has been criticized Icnornntly If
not maliciously for alleged unfairness
toward the Free Kindergarten associa
tion In the production of "The Hondo
Hers." we heepeak a perusal of the
facts In this matter as set forth In
the treasurer's ntllclal report in an
other column.
From this report It will be seen that
for his services roverlnc six weeks of
exacting labor, the dllllculty of which
can be appreciated only by those who
have had personal experience In the
organization of an amateur operatic
production. Professor Pennington re
ceived a net-sum !ess than $50. If any
of ills critics will guarantee to do nt
some future occasion the work that he
did In this engagement, and do It n
well as he did, for $S0, we will agree
to guarantee them employment and a
ote of thanks in the bargain.
This Is said without Mr. Pennington's
knowledge and sulci) as a matter of
justice to him.

Suburban Libraries.
The extension of the Immediate ad
vantages of a public library to subui
Imn localities, wherever practicable, Is
a movement which should be fostered
ami encnurnqed. A central library,
like the Albright library. Is a focus for
the diffusion of cultuie to thnutuiids
who could not otherwise com, within
Its Influence. It lies open to all who
have the desire to rea h It: there Is
nobody who has not the time to do so
who has also the Inclination. Man does
not live by bread alone, nor In its pur
suit solelv does he fulfil the ideal of
life. The Individual who Is wilfnllv a
stranger to the brightest and highest
thoughts and iihpIiuMoiim of his age,
as tliev are enshrined In the master
plecse of the English language, or em
bedded In its commonplace bonks. Is
sincerely to be pitied,
We have now icaohc". a stage in out
national history, or at all events we
are nearlng It, when a. knowledge of
literature will be ar essentia to suc
cess In life as o knowledge of reading,
writing and arithmetic was to the
schoolmaster of sixty years ago in the
humble pursuit of his humble profes
sion. With the advent of the public
school, we have severed the shackles
of Ignorance. The nadir of mental des
titution synchronized with the zenith of
physical drudgery. This Is no mere
conceit or strained Illustration. Edu
cation makes for the develootnenl of
all the arty and sciences, and science
and art are the progenitors of the ma
terial pi ogress of the world. A boy
who has studied the elements of chem
istry, electricity, geology or any of the
physical sciences carries the wand of
Prospero under his arm. Knowledge
does not come by Intuition, and If
genius Is not exactly the capacity of
taking pains, hard work Is no bad sub
stitute for it in mental discipline. There
ale some old fashioned people in this
country vet who would almost be as
little perturbed at seeing a bottle of
whiskey in their children's hands as u
book of light literatute. a story, as if
novels were the emanations of Saton.
This narrow prejudice, however, Is rap
Idly being outgrown.
When you hear a father say that If
his boy or girl must read, there are
the tvlioolbnoks, you may take it that
he Is offering them u brick to sate
their mental appetite. Home lessons
have their plHce; but It should be a
definite and circumscribed place in the
lireslde curriculum. Almost all these
youthful hobbledehoys and hoydenlsh
girls whom Dr. Moffat never falls to
tlml at all bouts ot the night In the
streets of Scrantuii might with the
proper stimulus and opportunity have
acqulied a tane for reading instead
of a taste fur straw rides and sleigh
rides and ntli'r unctuinul finllcs as
morally dangerous as they are waste
ful of youth's golden opportunities. It
the taste for light literature comes
first. It will lead to a taste for more
substantial reading. Heller any liter
ary taste than none.
We cannot too highly commend the
movement on foot to extend the facil
ities of the Albright library to the huIj
urbs, which are stretching out rapidly
on all slde. The West Side Philo
sophical society has taken up the move
ment energetically. The directors of
this Institution are prepared to donate
their valuable collection of books to
the trustees of the Albright library
upon the sole condition that a branch
of that Institution be inaugurated for
the public In Its place. Librarian Carr
Is nut only willing to undertake the
added responsibility of Its Inauguration
In this or any other locality, but he Is
anxious to do so If he Is given the
financial facilities, without which, of
course, nothing can be done. It will
not do to extend the movement at the
expense of the central library.
A branch library Is very much need
ed In Providence. It Is the most re
mote of anv of our suburban districts
from the center of the city. With tt
brunch library on the South Side, ono
In Orecn ltldge, another in course of
formation In the West Side, the es
tablishment of another In Providence,
the literary circuit ot the city will be
complete and brought Into direct com
munication with the Albright library
and'lts cultured librarian. May we not
hope to ceo this unquestionable local
form of expansion soon consummated?
A future awaits Spain If her states
men possess the courage to grasp It,
Ppaln has been taught that Ignorance,
prejudice and empty pride are poor
foundations for national prosperity!
tot the Intelligent minority In fpaln,
the men of whom Admiral Ccrvera
Is a type, take up their nfillctod coun
try's cause and push for the better
education of the masses, for the In
troduction of modern business methods
and principles, for the development of
a. .contented and prosperous middle
class. No nation can live which di
vides Its people Into paupers and loaf
ers, and this, broadly speaking, with
of course honorable exceptions, Is
the division which obtains In Spain. c
Governor-elect Iloosevelt says ho
thinks New York state has less need
of new laws than of Intelligent en
forcement and amendment ot existing
statutes. We guess this Is true gener
ally. The Next Step.
The sole argument of those who op
pose expansion Is that the American
people are unfit to tuke on larger re
sponsibilities. This argument Is a chal
lenge. It should be accepted and re
futed. Uy steps- which cannot now be re
traced we have progressed until ex
pansion Is no longer a possibility mere
ly but a fact from which there Is no
prospect ot escape. That which was
once only n theory has now been con
verted by the sweep ot war Into an
irreducible condition. It Is n condition
which will spell failure and humilia
tion If the people of the United States
do not rise to the occasion. It Is a
condition which will bring high honor
and glory and profit if they do.
To make a success of our new role
as u foster nation holding trusteeship
over politically orphaned millions In
the tropics we shall have to show
steadiness of purpose, patience, the
ability to rise above minor prejudices,
freedom from small partisan bickerings
and an adaptability for obvious re
quirements of an administrative natuie
which will muke a new demand upon
the American character. We shall need
In our public service In the new ter
ritory especially a class of men who
will give to their civil duties as teach
ers of the art of self-government some
thing of tile fine conscience and moral
heroism which pertain to the Ameri
can missionary In foreign lands. The
development of such n clas.-. will couse
n beneficial reaction upon the quality
and morale of the domestic public ser
vice and our whole government will
share in the uplift.
We shall also need teachers with the
missionary spirit young men and wo
men with the moral courage to go Into
these new fields and curr with them
the lamp of knowledge, not primarily
with expectation of material reward
but very largely animated by a high
Impulse of humanity, if there is any
thing in our boasted scheme of Chris
tian civilization these will be furthcom
ing ami their work will made dally
refutation of the pessimistic predic
tions of failure now so freely ventured
by captious critics of the expansion
programme.
In fact, by the interposition In our
political activities or a distinctly moral
Issue making appeal to the conscience
not less than to the pocket book of the
nation we shall open the door and sup
ply the incentive to a more active par
ticipation of good men and women In
the affairs of state and shall re-vltallze
the whole realm of statesmanship
which In late years had grown some
what stagnant under the sway of
largely material and mercenary Issues
appealing chiefly to the sordid elements
in our national life.
Honor, conscience and high ambition
will have lost their power over men
if the outcome shall not be as we here
Indicate. Only a blind man will aver,
that they have.

Organized Labor's Programme,
in response to a suggestion by Pres
ident McKlnlqy Samuel Oompers, pres
ident of the American Federation of
Labor, has embodied in a letter cer
tain suggestions as to legislation In the
Interest of lubor which he hopes to see
Incorporated In the president's forth
coming message. Inasmuch as these
present a programme likely to be much
discussed during the next fexv years It
may be xx'orlh xvhlle here to review
them briefly.
The most Important of these sugges
tions Is that congress extend the eight
hour laxv to cox-er all xvork done by or
fui the government, xvhether that xvork
be dont by contractors or sub-contractors.
This amounts vlrtuully to tho
exclusion from public contracts of nil
linns unwilling to adopt the eight-hour
basis. Constructively it would apply
to uillway employes engaged In un
capacity about mail trains, and from
these renters xvould radiate throughout
tin- industrial system until the eight
hour day became the rule rather than
the exception. Willi the Improved ap
pliances nnd high Industrial skill now
lu vogue among the industries in this
country there Is no reason why eight
hours of labor a day in the great ma
jority of mechanical employments
should not suffice to meet all leason
able demands: but It may be doubted
ir tne limiting or employment to an
eight-hour day can be forced abruptly
or on any other basis than that of a
corresponding limitation of pay until
industrial conditions readjust them
selves. Another bill asked for is that all
merchandise of convict manufacture
entering Into Interstate commerce bo
required to xvear a distinctive stamp or
mark. To this there cannot be reason
able objection. Let overy tub stund on
Its own bottom.
With reference to a further restric
tion of Immigration It Is submitted that
larger authority should be conferred
upon our foreign consular serxico and
upon the Immigration department;
Hint criminal nnd pauper elements
should be barred absolutely; that the
violation of the alien contract labor laxv
by employers should be punishable by
Imprisonment; that steamship com
panies should be held responsible for
a term of years for tho rhuroeter of
their passengers; that a stricter civil
and educational test should be enforced
as to qualification for naturalization;
and that overy Immigrant should bo
compelled to declare his Intention of
becoming a citizen of" th United
State. In the main these (dean accord
with public sentiment and will receive
general approval,
Mr. Clampers letter concludes with
an elaborate argument against the ex
tent to which the Judicial injunction
has lately been curried by federal
courts In restraint of labor. Says he:
"As a layman, It Is not within my
province to discuss the legal rights and
the legal restrictions of tho workman,
of the citizen; but the thought Is, nev
ertheless, uppermost In my mind that
it Is a well-established principle In law
that an Injunction should never lie
when there Is another complete rem
edy at law. Nor should the people be
deprived of the exercise of their rights
by tho Issuance of a writ never con
templated by our system of Jurispru
dence." After showing how the In
junction can be and Is frcaucntly ap
plied to worklngmen unfairly Mr.
Gompcrs continues:
Nor Is the court Injunction In Its mod
ern application aleno injurious and
wrongful In the disputes which arise In
relations between tho workers and their
employers, but Is equally a menace to re
publican Institutions. Recently a citizen
of ono of our gmit cities secured an in
junction from a J tut go enjoining tho
municipal legislature fiom passing a law,
or ordinance. It Is nllecetl and generally
admitted that tho ordinance which this
municipal legislature contemplated pass
ing was conceived In lcloitsncss and cor
ruption, but It Is simply referred to hero
to call attention to the fact that If the or
dlnance was contrary to law, was viola
tive of rights, it could, even If passed, be
annulled by the duly constituted courts.
It Is fuither submitted that if a court can
Issue an Injunction restraining a mu
nicipal legislature from pussing a vlclnm
law, It may also exercise that right un
der a misapprehension that the contem
plated legislation is vicious and corrupt;
that If it Is within the province ot a court
to enjoin a municipal legislature, It Is
within the power of a state court to issue
on Injunction enjoining legislation by the
state leglHlatuio and within the power
of the federal court to enjoin the con
press of the United States from passing
nny legislation which may he deemed In
tho Interest of the pecple It may seem a
stretch of tho imagination and fearful to
contemplate, but If the exercle or this
function of tho courts Is not soon curbed,
wo may some day witness not only con
gress enjoined, but the president of the
United States served with nn Injunction
prohibiting him from placing his signa
ture to a law pushed hy congress, and per
haps brought to the bar Tor contempt.
Who knows but we may some time see
the presidency of the United States decid
ed upon u writ Issued by a federal Judg"'.'
On this subject there Is less differ
ence of opinion than might appear dur
ing political campaigns. It Is, we be
lieve, the Judgment of a large major
ity of the Intelligent and fair-minded
people or the United States that the
writ of Injunction when applied to stop
the reasonably expected commission of
nn act of debatable legality until the
law points In dispute can be amicably
decided Is a far more defensible exer
cise of the judicial prerogative than to
wait until after the mischief Is done
before passing Judgment upon It. A
stitch in time saves nine; nn ounce of
prevention Is wortli a pound ot cure.
Tile vesting or this prerogative In n
judge presupposes, of course, that he
Is a man fit to be entrusted with It;
for proved unfitness there Is already
ample remedy. On the other hand,
public opinion will not uphold the abuse
of this high pierogatlve or Its subordin
ation to selfish or partisan ends. Those
Judges who overdo their duty in this
matter may be sure that they will be
called down; the American people will
always be quick to resent tactics on the
bench offensive to their Instinctive con
ceptions of fair play.
