Agulnaldn hoped to "nnnlhllato the Americana before their reinforcements nrrlvi'd." AEUlnnldo hns a Rood deal to leu n about the Amerioan character. The Return of the Thirteenth. Tho public evidences of welcome which attend the hoinc-comlng of the Thirteenth are as appropriate as they nro sincere. The regiment had been it source, of iiildu In ptuice but It hns hern doubly so sliui1 It went oiikoiIv and loyally wheie duty called It In war, even though that call Involved the hnrdefct duty of u patilotlc soldier the duty of uniting thiouRh the U-1-ium and monotony nf c.itnn life for the CNpected assignment to battle which never came. The leglment did lis pan ptomptly and eillclently thiouhmtl the period of its federal sen lee and It onmes back with the honor and repeit nf Iti countn. its Mnto and more than all else, of Its loved otuw at home But the lomnuinltv hn moie to do than to erect aiohe. display Hags and i 'induct ceremonies of acclaim Of th men of this leglment who Inst soring olunteeied In the war with Spain i ompaiatUely u few did w without sacrifice of position or opportunity In civil life. Many left families whom the (ominunltv felt It a privilege to aid, but now that the brcadwlnnets In those families are to be releaseJ to their fonner occupations the problem if helping them to eatly and reman trntlvp employment must be met. Some of the positions vacated last spring have been Kept open. Some have been tilled only temporarily. Others have ncces-satlly been filled without lefer ence to the futuie. The equivalent of places thus tilled should bo provided elsewhcio. Tills Is a debt of honor. Tho community will stultify Itself and tum Its public welcome Into a private mockery If it shall fall to give Its bst eneigles to the restoration of the iel nient to pleasant and harmonious peace conditions. If as the hoys aie gieeted after this hlstoilc return some faces are missed let It not bo forgotten that It was given to them to pay the highest obli gation of a free and lojul cltlzens'aip. We mourn them with a poignant seaso of loss but we do not oerlook the sub limity of their sacilllce. They left us plain fellow-cltlzens; they return to us In memory If not in person as pntilot mm tyre to whom civilization thioiish out futurity will be in inextinguishable debt. In the act now pending at Hatiis burg tp amend the act of lM) govern ing third-tlass cities It Is proposed to lequlre a petition signed by three fimiths instead of two-thirds of the affected propoi ty-ownets in older to legalize grading and paving improve ments. a should be glad to publish ihe reasons for such a change Tiuths Woithy of Repetition. Some wholesome truth was spoken bv tiovernor Roosevelt the other night at a dinner of the West Side Republican tluh in New Voik city. Said he. "Home of our people speak of 'the politicians' as though they were a class npau, as if the avetage American could wash his hands of them and their acts when ever it seemed well to him to do so .Men in public life are what the men in private life make them. We must In the long run repieent what is best and what is worst In you. You complain of bad city government. It Is ulti mately the fault of the people them selves If It is bad. No American can shake off tho burden. The public men must In the long run respond approxi mately to the effective desires of the people, to whom they go ultimately for pow er. "Pome oung men want to rise In public life at a bound, passing all the drudgery and apprenticeship. Some want to be biigadler-geneials at the stait. Gi eater good, It seems to me, Is done by the men who take subordin ate posts, and In them do their work honestly and well. I sit tonight with lepresentatlves of both houses of the legislature. You should understand that in all matters of constructive work the goernor is helpless unless he Is backed by such men as represent those two branches here tonight. I know theio Is a belief that tho governor is both houses of tho legislature, and can pass any law that he wants to. That isn't ttue. "In no way can you bring about le- ency in your government bo quickly as by backing up the men who rep resent your Interests, rew aiding those who uie faithful and punishing those who fall in their duty. Rtsldes these theie Is another class the public-spirited citizens who, without holding ofllce, give of their time to aid the ser vants of the public. I cannot express tho obligation I am under to men who - aid us In our work. "Now to the voters. If you let the piofessional politicians do all the work they will take all the reward, and they ought to. You can't govern yourselves by sitting in your studies and thinking how good you are. You've got to light all jou know how, and you'll find a lot of ablo men willing to tlclit ou. Sometimes ono of these people, who feel that they should do something to ralFO the county's political standard, goes to a primal y and llnds a raft of men who have been to many pilmurlcs. He discovers that he count's for noth Ing. Then, If ho Is of the type of men unlit for self-government ho says poli tics U low, and goes homo. If he Is worth his unit ho goes again, loses; goes again, maybe wins, and finally finds that he counts, and that he Is doing his plain duty as an Ameilcan citizen. He can't be ptoud of doing It, but he ought to be ashamed If he doesn't. All of our problems finally re solve themselves Into getting honest fiC"rnpient. our duty W to see that tho Decalogue and Golden Rulo pre vail In the government. You want to hitch your wagon to n stnr, but nlwaya remember your limitations'. Strive up wnrd, but rcallzo your limitations. In our government you can only work successfully In conjunction with your fellows. Uon't let practical politics mean foul politics. "I mako n plett for evety man who holds public ofTlce that the people be hind him watch him and make him re member that tho critic stands nt the door. Jet him know that as long as he does light the people are behind him. Cut I desplso a man who sur renders his conscience to the multitude as much as I do the one who surrend er It to one man. If he believes the multitude Is wrong on n question of policy or finance he should not bow to It. It Is not the men In oince w ho make public life. It Is the men out of cilice who arc tho arbiters of our public life. It rests on every mnn here, on every man In the city, on every man In the state and nation to make the public life high." Of couise these are ttlte truths, re peated eveiy little while. Hut repeti tion of them Is desirable so long as their lesson Is not put into practice. The country Is witnessing In the ad ministration of Governor Roosevelt a notable object lesson In fearlessness, fidelity and yet piactlcal comprehen sion of what can and what cannot be done under existing conditions. It Is a demonstration which ought to uplift government eveiy where. Unless the American people draft Into their pub lic set vice a laiger proportion of men of the Hoosevelt type, men who are couiageous, conscientious and abso lutely honest, they will come to grief In the working out of the new prob lems which providence has recently put before them for solution. When General Gomez learned ttlat the Cuban assembly had deposed him, he merely smiled and went to a dinner party. He will doubtless see the as semblymen later. Tiusts. The next congress will bo asked to pass a law empowering tho ptcsldent to suspend the piotectlve tariff on ev ery aitlclo whoe domestic manufac ture or production Is conti oiled by a tiust. The intent Is to provide whole some competition fiom abroad when competition has ceased at home, com potltlon being legarded as essential to the malnteranco of just piiees as well as to the payment of enuitable wages. This proposition will come from Republican niurces and will be the Republican patty's contilbution to tho solution of the Increasingly com plicated pioblem of tho trusts No doubt the inesent tendency tcward the consolidation oi produc tive activities into trusts or combiner, which Is a feature of the economic situation in fice trade and pioteothe countiies alike, being ju-l as notable In England under a icvenue tariff us In the United States under the higher duties of th Ding Icy tailff, would In tlmo work out its own letned, even If let alone by legislation. It ignores a vital piinciple in human nature the ln-tlnctlf desiie of healthy men to be their wn bo"--e nnd tho mo ment that this desire- is artilicially cramped thiough the shutting out of Individual Initiative there is laid the foundation of an inevitable revolt. Tho same natural Instincts of democracy which centuries ngo broke down feudal ism and pulled false monanhs oft their thrones will in these modern days of fiee thought and fre speech bo quick to mako the end of tyranny In business, no matter how firmly tyran ny m-iy seem to be entrenched or what the disputes under widen it oper ates. The result, In the long tun. Is as ceitaln as the sunshine .hlch fol lows the passing cloud Hut until natuial causes shall com plete the correction of existing Inequal ities there will be a field for legisla tion in the interests of the helpless and this should bo occupied courage ously by the Republican party. The charge that that party Is mortgaged by the tiusts Is a transparent falscnood of the enemy. Individual politicians in each party may pecept the halter of monopoly, but tho party masses own themselves, nnd the masses in tho Re publican membership will demand that the lash of the law shall be applied without fear or favor wherever theie is abuse of public prl liege or defiance of private rights. ichblshop Ireland's contention that personal piety and the natuial virtues aie superior both In principle and ex pediency to simply dcvotlunal fidelity in the Catholic ciorgy may draw the rebuke of the Jesuits, but It will never theless stand as a good and timely doctrine, In more denominations than one. A Lesson from Pittsburg. Tho appended quotation Is fiom tho Plttsbujg Times. There- la a vciy perceptibly felt thoitfiho of woikingmon in littsburg mid western Pennsylvania. Tno recent heavy and phe nol ien.il advances in the price of lion and steel, wire, tin plute and metals gen erally havo produced a couespondljig boom In nearly all Industrial enterprises amlunactlvlty In all branches ut business, that have necessitated tho employment of many moio woikmen thousands in tlio nggiegate. Mills, factories and workshlps luive been and are to lie enmrged and nil are now being operated to their fullest opacity to keep pace with the heavy or ders that have been pouring In upon them, many of them working double uud triple turn and giving employment to fckllled and unskilled woikmen far bevond the ordinary. Probably never before In tho recent history of littsburg and vlcln lly has thero been such a demand for la borers and workmen of all kinds. Me chanics, miners, Iron, steel and tin plate workers, carpenters, bricklayers and ar tisans of every trade, as well as luborers who only perform the lowest forms of manual labor all aro In demand. Tho great Iron and steel mills and factories, the big window. Hint and tablewaro glass factories of Pitt si urg and surrounding territory, nnd various other Industries, aie now working In full force In almost every department. In many cases they are only prevented from starting up ad ditional departments or still further In creasing present forces by their Inabil ity to securo the needed operatives. Tho article from which the forego. Ing quotation Is made proceeds to men tion In detail some of the industrial establishments which are short-handed and the number of men needed by I thoin. The aagregutrt of tho latter Is enormous. A condition of this kind could be developed In Scrnnton If In stead of having only two or three large Industries which nre busy only at Intervals our men of means would continue to diversify Seranton's In dustries by Investing money In the many worthy piojects which hnvo itt different times offered to locate In this community. The Hoatd of Trade should continue to hammer nt this nail until It Is driven through tho knotty heads that prefer bonds or realty to produc tive Industries as investments, for upon tho success of tho boaid In this work of public education depends almost the wholo future of Hcranton. Ono can hardly think of beef now adays without n, qualm of repulsion, so much has boon said nbout embalmed beef, mouldy beef, soft htof and beef spoiled In gencrnl. Almost any beef will leave a dark taste In tho mouth after reading of the condition In which It reached tho soldiers. The last com plaint Is, If anything, n little more of fensive than any previously made. It Is now stated that tho beef was car tied In wagons previously used for carting garbage nnd offal nnd that they wfro in such an unclean condi tion with slime nnd voimln that tho meat thus conveyed would of neces sity be utterly unfit for consumption This fact, which appeals to be amply sustained, Is more Inexcusable than nny others thus far produced In tho Inquiry. The public will bo glad when tho last malodorous report of the beef Inquiry has been ended nnd when the public noe may resume Its ordinary attitude. Captain HIgglnson, who commanded tho Massachusetts off Santiago and whose promotion was the only one among the Santiago batch continued by the sennte. has wiltten to Sectetaiy 1-ong: "I do not regard my own ser vices as so conspicuous as to warrant my advancement while the other com manding ofilceis nominated at the same time as myself go unrewarded. They weio a gallant band of naval officers nnd ccitalnly deserved well of their country, and If their services nie to go unrecognized I desire to shaie tie same fate." The failure to lecogn.ze will not be final. Down at Steelton the Pennsvivan'.'i Steel woiks finds the demand for billets and structuial steel so heavy that in order to keep pace with It extensive en lnigements of tho plant must be made. Yet the Lackawanna Iron nnd Steel company affirms that It cannot afford to manuructure anything but rails. Theie Is a mistake In judgment some w hei e. The moral difterence between Italv's demand on China and highway rob bery Is wholly in favor of highway lobbery, beciuse In that case tho victim generally g-oos armed for trouble and expects tho help of the community to fiiiHtiato or punish the evil-doers. Clitlstlnnlty is- evidently not yet an applied doctiine of International poll tics. Gomez's explanation of the abund ance of ofilceis In the Cuban army U reasonable. He says he had little else than promotions to u-e In payment of faithful service. Still, he should have left a few pilvates, If only by way ot variety. Tile tzar's peace congress meets at The Hay io Mav IS, at which time some Uuropoen power will probably feel moved In the Interest of civiliza tion and humanity to bite- off another big hunk of tenltoiy in China. The Indians railed General Law ton ' The-Man-Who Gets-Up-in-the-Mlddle of-the-Nlght," and It Is not at all im probable that he may give Aguinaldo a sui prise patty In the- course of a few da vs. Hainum's ilicus has elected to re main in England permanently, but with political deadlocks multiplying on ev ery hand It amusement features will piobably not bo missed. Mr. Kohlsint's paper learns that General Milet is to be squelched. There will first have to be a squelching of several million American admliers. England is to build two battleships Just Ilka tho Oiegon. It is a wise choice of models. SCIENCE TO THE RESCUE. Chicago Dispatch hi Philadelphia Press. Physiological tests of school chitdecn, having for tho ultimate object the i educ tion of education to u scientific basis, were begun heio Monday in the Alcott school by Prolessor I-'red W. Smedloy, lecturer on pedagogy at Chicago univer sity, and Victor Campbell, principal of the iiiigliton evening school. Two months will bo requlied to examine the 1,000 pu pils in tho school. o The Immediate aim of the tests is to secure facts In tegnrd to tho condition cf tho child, nervously and physically, to be used In directing them in their work. The principal instrument In making theso tests Is tho crgograph, which Is designed to me.lHUiH tho physical fatigue. Tho cigogrnph, the Invention of Professor Mnsso, of Iiuly, Is attached to tho muscles of the child's arm. To ono end of tho In strument Is attached a weight and to the other a twisted wire. The ami of tho pupil to bo examined Is strapped into a rest so that It Is possible to move only tho fingers. Tho second linger is hooked Into a loop in tho end of the wlro cord nnd tho pupil is otdcred to woik the linger back and forth In time with a me tronome. This moves tho carriage and tho pon attached back and foith, und on tho paper of a cylinder, which has been set Into a barely perceptible motion, tho pen records an unbroken' lino that w paves from side to side of the papei forming an outline almost llko extremely long teeth of a saw. As the finger of the pu pil weakens from fatigue, the distance lie Is ablo to pull the caulago forward grows shorter until ho cannot move It. Corre. spondlnglv the teeth of tho saw grow shorter until tho Jagged line becomes per fectly straight 0 Tho physiological principle on which the operation of this Instrument Is based Is that ono tot of muscles Is an Index to tho condition of the body. The regu larity of these saw teeth recorded on pa per and tho length of time the pupil can continue, pulling tho carringo forward, aro noted. Tho first Indicates his nervous condition. Kiom this record, tho length of tlmo tbut thu child can work to ad vantage nnd tho period of fatigue und tho period when tho child Is nt Its best men tnlly. can be learned When these are found out. Professor Bmedley nays the teacher Is In position to Instruct the pupil to the best possible advantage, and edu cation will, In a measure nt least, bo ie riuond to a scientific basis MANY LISTENED TO ANTHONY COMSTOCK ADDRESSED THE Y. M. C. A. MEETING AT THE LYCEUM. Ronownecl Champion of Purity Is Greeted by a Large Audience nt Yesterday Afternoon's Men's Meet ing of the Young Men's Christian Association Spoke on "Foes to Moral Purity" Some of tho Work Accomplished by the Socloty for tho Suppression of Vice. Anthony Comstock, of New York, known the woild over for his work as secretary of the Society for tho Sup ptesslon of Vice, addressed yesterday's "men's meeting," conducted nt the Ly ceum under the uuspices of tho Young Men's Clulstlan association. An audi ence that tilled tho parquet nnd took up a good portion of the balcony was Ptesent to see and hear him. His address. If delivered by nn ordi nary man, would be classed as very oidlnary. It was appreciated, however, for the weight which the personality ot the sneaker attached to It. 'Toes to Moral Purity ' was his sub ject. The body he described as a ves sel to bear the soul to eternity. The eyes nnd earH are the portals. Fancy and imagination aie the tiller lines. The pilot Is either Christ or Satan, according- to the choosing of the Indi vidual. A glance Into the chamber of Imagery in a man's hem t will tell who his pilot Is. NOT WHOLLY RESPONSIBLE. Defilements have come Into the heaits of youns men foi which they nie not vv holly i esponslble. Words spoken nnd actions committed In their presence by older persons, hereditary taints and the llko may have made a lasting and weakening impress. He Is responsible, though, when he allows Satan to use his eye for a camera with which to Im print uiion his heart the Image of the tainted picture or tnlnted page. Decorate tho heart's chamber of im age! y with sweet and holy things. Keep your eye from the defiling pic ture. Stop your ear to anything you would not have your mother or sister hear. David covenanted with his eye that it should not be the cause of his glvlnir offense. In these davs one should covenant not only with hlH eye, but with both eyes and both eais. Thwart sin In your youth or In middle age you will find yourself In perpetual bondage to Satan, tied to the dead cat cass of sin. WORK OP THE SOCIETY Speaklnjr of the work of the society of which he has been the foremost worker for over a quarter ot a century, Mr. Comstock stated that during that time the society has confiscated and destroyed seventy-three tons of cor rupt literature that was circulated or destined to be ciiculated among the 22,000,000 school children of this land, and caused the arrest of 2,r,00 persons for using the malls for immoral pur poses. Preceding Mr. Oomstock's address there was the usual devotional exer cises and music by the School of the Lackawnnna Glee club and the Young Men's Christian orchestia. Secretary George G. Mahy made the opening and closing prayers. Next Sunday the singing will be by the Schubert Male quartette. LIVING TO PLEASE. Liscourse of Rev. H. A. Grnut, B. D in the Howard Place Church. Rev. II. A. Grant, 15. D at tho How ard Place Afncin Methodist Episcopal chuich last evening discoursed upon "Llvlns to Please," choosing as a text Rom: Is, 2-3 "Fot even Christ pleased Not Himself." In part he said: '"We study to please' Is a common business, room motto. It sounds well and savors of politeness But, while covered with the gilt of kindness It often conceals a solillsh purpose. Men of the woild seek to please their neighbors for their own profit. The gosnel motto resem bles tho world's motto as gilt or brass rings resemble gold ones Paul said: 'I please all men In all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many that they might bo saved.' "There Is no heroism like self-sicil-fice for the rood of others. There Is no hero of history equal to Jesus. He made Himself of no reputation and took the form of a servant or slave. Ho was willingly despised and roleet ed of men. Ho had glory, but He for sook It tor out sake. He could work miracles, and did, but never to serve his own personal convenience or com fort. 'I do always those things that please Him.' John 8:29. ' I have finished tho work Thou gavest Aie to do,' was the ci owning: joy of the Sav iour's life. "To be a Christian ought to mean to be Chilstly. Jesus would not satlsfv appetite by turning stones Into broad for Himself, though He would feed tln thousands In all their needs. He would not In the garden call for a single angel although legions were at His com mand. Weary nnd hungry at the well of Samaria He choso rather to In struct tho woman In pplrltual want than to cat food. "Jesus bed a filendly nnd sensitive nature, yet He did forego all home com forts when necessary to provide con solation by separation for the well being of others. 'The reproaches of them that reproached Thee fell on Me ' Christ took the blamo and 'opened not His mouth' in presence of mallciotu wordb and bad manners. How much happier the woild If nil believers would lift and live this motto: 'Ho pleasid not Himself.' "It Is the secret nf heaven on earth It is tho euro of cankering care nnd tho path to honor. Full salvation Is til" pet feet love which cements Indi viduals of rc-rulslve exterior and makes possible the unity of the church." RELIGIOUS NEWS NOTES. Ilev. Jumcs JlcLeod, I).
