Hours, British and Busybodies. THAT T11HUK Is considerable sympathy In this country for the liners Is a fact patent to eveiybody; but when Sen ator Hale says that nine-tenths of the Atuutli'iiti people hope that Knglund will be defeated In her effort to securo better government for South Afilca ho represents nothing more than his per sonal belief. No census upon this sub ject has been taken nor has there been In any way a show of sentiment suftl clont to warrant sweeping declarations like thut so emphatically made by the eenntor from Maine. Thero has alwnys existed In this country some prejudice against Great Hritnln. .Much of It has grown out of the wront's and fnlicled wrongs of Ire land and has survived the expiration of the more substantial grievances on Ireland's part. Tho portion of our population which has come to us from tho countries of continental Kuropo Is also Inclined to shnre In the unfriendli ness for Kngland which Is characteris tic of those countries. A few Ameri cans whoso ancestry goes back to colonial times benr an Inherited dislike lor tho mother country. And more than all the others, tho bulk of those who, In any difference between nations, are swayed mostly by their sympathies without taking the trouble to examine carefully Into tho facts, Is now appar ently inclined toward tho ltoers, be cause, on the face of things, the Iloers are few and tho Kngllshmen many, and It Is natural to applaud the under dog. Very lately a political cast has been Imparted to this matter by tho effort of the Democratic leaders In congress, aided and abetted by the antl-expan-Klonist Itrpuhlli.Mii clique, Including such men as Senators Hale, Welling ton and Mason, to make trouble for President McKinley and the Republi can natlonnl administration, by bun combe appeals for the granting to tho Hoer republic of diplomatic recognition. These men well know that under inter national law It would be Impossible to confer such recognition so long as tho control of the Iloers" foreign relations is by treaty expressly confided to Great Hi Haiti; neither would It, as a matter of policy, be wise, fair or just in view of tho obligations tho United States Is under to Kngland for sympathy an 1 moral aid exhibited during the late war with Spain. In view of this partisan or obstruc tionist conspiracy, which cannot pos sibly work out any benefit for the Iloers, lmt can only embarrass and annoy our president at a period when he needs the full measure of his time and energy to devote to problems that are undisputed!;- within his jurisdic tion, It seems advisable to suggest that Americans of common sense refrain as much as possible from worrying about the South African struggle. It is not a stiuggle which they are calkd upon to solve ,,r meddle with. It is in good hands. It will undoubtedly bo ended in consonance with tho best Interests of South Africa and the world nt large; and In the meantlmu lei tho people of the United States demonstrate that they are fully capable of nilndlni; their own basinets. The men who will not oppose opening of Wyoming avenue nro coming more numerous every day. tho bo- An American Abroad. OMK INTERESTING Impres- slons concerning European af fairs have been imparted to the press by Hon. Peter S. Grosseup of the United Stutcs Circuit bench, following his return frqin un extended sojourn in foreign lands. Judge Grosseup Is ono of tho clearest-minded men that we have m this country and ho never talks with out saying something. Tho judge says that not only tlvj people but nlso"tho officials of conti nental Europe nro In sympathy with the Iloers, which is not surprising; but to this he adds a statement which Is, to wit: "In England I believe there lias been a change of feeling. Tho people realize that Kruger was taxlni; his people, not to fatten his own purse, as they at Ilrst believed, but to buy arms to defend themselves against such as tho'Jnmcson raid, and I believe that If England could wlpo out the past four months sho would bo willing to give tho Transvaal her liberty." Fruitless, however, is the contemplation of what might havo beenl Again: "The people of the future In Europe nro tho Slavs. They are coming on rapidly. Thero Is no more prosper ous country In Europe than Hungary. Her people have ns great talent as the Americans have, they are resourceful, nnd besides they nro Industrious and 1 economical. The Americans havo those qualities, but are not so resourceful. Home day the Slavs will give n differ ent, complexion to Euiope. The three Itrcat races of Kuropo arc the English, Germans and Slavs, but If England should loso In tho Uoer wnr she will lose her prestige. Tho United KlhG dom will bo divided and wrecked nnd the Germans and Slavs will be tho only Brent races of Europe." As to Germany, France, nnd tho Paris exposition: "Germany Is moving right ahead, especially In manufacturing nnd business. Gormnny now la tho great power of the continent, France Is wenk, slnggerlng. She Is diminishing In popu lation, In political power nnd In liter ary achievements, She has no great men now like sho once had. In Ger many the opposition to Emperor Will iam Is not so strong as It was. They still consider him ns somewhat erratic, but have settled down to the conclusion that ho hns a great mind. Had It not been for tho Paris exposition there would have been a revolution In Frnnce last summer over the Dreyfus Incident. The French can have a revolution nny time, but an exposition only once In ten years, so they postponed tho one for the other." The United States Is good enough for us. With tho Hon. William Mason on their side the Doers are Indeed entitled to sympathy. For Vice President. o NLY ONCE since this govern ment was founded has Penn sylvania, Industrially at least tho Keystone of the. national arch of states, supplied a citizen to fill the olllee of president of tho United States; and only once has ono of her citizens been summoned to tho vice presidency. President Iluchnnnn and Vice President Dallas were both Denio ciats. It therefore Is high time that the Republicanism of the banner Re publican commonwealth of the Union had representation upon the national ticket; and since tho re-nomlnation of William McKinley for president will be unopposed, Pennsylvania may right fully nsplro to present to him a suit able running mate. Wo have been glad to detect among many of tho representative Republi cans of the country a disposition to ac cord to Pennsylvania tho compliment of supplying tho vice presidential nom inee at the Philadelphia convention plovlded the opportunity to do so wore sought with earnestness by the wholo party, regardless of faction. Should this opportunity be embraced, we have llttlo doubt that tho harmony thus be gun would ripen into a wider and happier fellowship and the future of tho party In this state bo relieved of much of the rancorous and malignant fac tionalism of tho past. This Is only a pergonal opinion, but the experiment, at all events, Is worth trying. Fortunately the occasion designates the man. The brilliant success achieved by Pennsylvania's representative In the cabinet, Hon. Charles Emory Smith, both ns a counselor In helping to shape odmlnlstration policies; as an execu tive whoso conduct of tho Intricate af fairs of the post ofllce department. In cluding the construction practically of new posts In Cuba, Puerto Rico and tho Philippines, has been successful to a marked degree; ami as an orator, whoso Impassioned eloquence and pol ished diction have carried his fame throughout the continent, points to hhn as pre-eminently worthy of tho stated united support for tho vice presiden tial nomination. The report that a poll of congress shows an overwhelmingly majority in both houses for the immediate con struction of tho Nicaragua canal Is decidedly welcome news. Speed the consummation. A Fit of the Blues. D R. PARKHURST is again scolding his parlshoners. The Christians of New York, or at lest some of them, are, ho intimates, Christians on Sunday only, but six days of the week they work like slaves to make monsy and on Saturday night (ly forth to su burban homes, leaving the city to tho thieves and vagabonds. This Indif ference to city Interests Is not limited to New York but it does not appear from tho statistical records that per manent good was ever wrought by merely scolding about It. Dr. Parkhurst makes another asser tion which would be very serious it It had to bo taken literally, but for tunately for humanity It Is susceptible to a llgurattve construction. "More children," says he, "are being started In the direct road to hell every week than all the churches, missions 'nnd Sundny schools combined arc saving In a year.-' Some good Is doubtless accomplished by the caustic rhetoric of which tho foregoing Is a sample, but It Is doubt ful whether in tho long run such fierce exaggeration pays. Dr. Park hurst cannot mean to be Interpreted without discount. Vice In New York Is unquestionably very bold Just now but that It bears n larger (proportion than formerly to virtue or that It Is gaining on virtue nt tho ratio of 52 to 1 Is not proved and is, wo think, incredible. Tho good doctor is evidently a tem porary victim of tho blues. Mr. Mucrum is having some of the troubles encountered by Admiral Dowey In avoiding tho Interviewer while on his way home, but seems in no danger of dyspepsia from banquets. - The Ostracism Cure. OME REMARKS recently cred ited to President Hadley of Yale university have been tho theme of widespread and vari ous comment. Ho was talking Inform ally before tho Candlelight club of Denver upon trusts among other top Ics, and ho said substantially that he doubted If any laws could bo framed In tho present stnto of publlo opinion which would so effectually cure tho abuses of trust by men at tho head ot largo enterprises which preyed upon tho public as would a social canon that would not admit these men, while uu- s rcpentcnt In their sinning against the public welfare, Into tho better circle! of society. Later ho explained: "1 think that much more evil of every kind Is controlled by ostracism than by statutes that have no social penalty behind them. Social ostracism will servo as a remedy for any public evil. It Is, In fact, the only effective rem edy. It applies to evils connected with trusts In the same way that It does to any other form of commercial wronic. I did not suggest tho ostracism of trusts, but of tho Individuals who grossly abuse tho powers which tho existence of trusts placed In their hands." President Hadloy Is undoubtedly cor rect In this view. Men wj nro smart enough to circumvent the law so ns to have no drend of tho penalty which It prescribes are often very sensitive to nny criticism which tends to injuro their social standing and will go to great lengths to preserve this standing when showing Indifference to purely legnl perils. Thus It comes nbout that tho things which society strongly condemns few men of means will haz ard to undertake; as, for Instance, to rob a church, a charity or a widow. Yet many men who would halt at either of these offences would show no scruple whatever in cheating a com petitor, buying a council, or alienating tht affections of some other man's wife, for the reason that upon those latter offences society ns a rulo puts little ban and Is quite witling to lift that ban ns soon as the offender dem onstrates that he has money, nerve and a fair knack at entertaining, It Is within the power of society to clean up a good many of the public abuses of our time, by simply causing It to bo known that men and women responsible for them may not have tho much-prized smile of Its gracious favor. Why this power Is not more earnestly wielded In the interest of the public welfare Is a question with respect to which President Hadloy is unfortu nately silent. Tho animated contest which has been waged among the Republican brethren of tho mother county for tlfc Wilkes Harre postmastershlp has been termin ated. It seems, by tho selection of Byron G. Hahn, chairman of the Lu zerne County Republican committee. Mr. Halm's appointment Is In the nature of n compromise In the Interest of harmony, but in it merit wins hand some recognition and all concerned may fairly be congratulated. In duly, August nnd September last, Imports entered Manila to tho value of nearly $G,r00,000, or at tho rate of $L",000,000 a year. Under tho 'old regime the average yearly Imports of the entire archlgclago vero only $17, 000.000. American sovereignty Is un questionably a great trade tonic. Only eleven of the fifteen inmates that have escaped from the Trenton In dustrial school for girls have been captured. If tho New Jersey authori ties would provide Mrs. Eyler with a pack of bloodhounds, better work could bo accomplished In gathering In tho runaways. It becomes moro and more evident dally that tho press censor of South Africa does not Intend to lot tho war correspondent anticipate the magazine writer. Undo Paul Kruger may not be quali fied to shine before the world as an Ideal diplomat, but he certainly knows when to issue a railroad pass. Thero Is no question that cither tho Filipinos or the press correspondents at Manila have been' subdued. WHAT STRIKES MEAN. From tho Wilkes-Barro Times. Tho word "strike" has a peculiarly un pleasant sound to tho dwellers of this valley and those who lived hern duitng tho last two miners' strikes shudder at tho mention of that word. Thousands suffered In thoso dark days of u bitter labor struggle and all for what? A dream alone. Not only did tho unfor tunate strikers, their wives und llttlo ones, suffer tho pangs of hunger, but scores of others also who were dependent upon tho coal business. Hundreds of homes were broken up, tho savings ot years teattered to tho winds, misery pre vailed all around, leaving scars behind which are visible to this day. Tradesmen by tho dozen who stood bravely by tho men as long us credit was obtainable sunk under their load, and but few ever arose again. The worst featuto of thoso strikes was tho blow that was given to tho supre macy of anthracite coal. It was a coal then In general use, tho cheaper soft coal took Us placo In lactorles und works, so that largo customers were lost then never to return. Another strike and It will btcoir.o simply a house coal needed In the whiter only. It will encourago a still grenter vse for soft coal, of gas and electricity for domestic purposes. It will be another ,easo of killing tho gooso that laid thn golden egg. At this period of tho year and especially with such mild weather as we havo been having tho de mand Is fast falling off, so that a strike now would not be such a severo blow to tho operators. Tho men and their fnni llle thu wc-ukcfct In the fray would be the chief sufferers. That there aro grievances, points for adjustment, need for fresh rules, new schedules and cquitablo payments, wo doubt not. Of their nature nnd justice wo are not qualllied to speak, but it seems to vs tha. people who aro unable to stand tho pecuniary strain of Idle ness should seek other methods than a strike to adjust dlllkultles and settle grievances. When miners strlko they compel Innocent railroaders, teamsters, draymen, tradesmen, merchants and em ployes nnd landlords to say nothing o their defenseless wives nnd children to euffer, too, without so much ns asking "by your leave." A strlko never pays. Let us suppose a case, using only minimum figures. Tho strlko lasts, say for threo months, thir teen weeks, loss of wages, say JG per week, J"S; threo months rents, Bay til', store bills, etc., $11, or n total ot II 10. Supposing tho strike to be successful and a 10 per cent, advance Is granted, It would tako 223 weeks or eighteen and a halt years to mnko up tho pecuniary loss, but tho suffering would ever remain uncom pensated. The fact Is, a strike is just so much lost time, and tho old proverb rends, "Lost tlmo Is never regained." We have referred simply to the losses of tho mnn for whoso benefit tho strike Is In nugurntcd, but for the other unfortu nate workmen, such as wo havo namcct, tho loss would bo truly great nnd irre parable. These aro considerations worthy the thoughtful attention of every lobar Ingman In this stago of our eonl mining. It takes a long tlmo and lots of capital to build up a business and a community, but tho rash net of a moment can scat ter It to tho winds. Wo therefore trust eoncrvatlvo counsels will prevail In tho dlscpsrlon of all labor disputes. ooooooooooooooooo I In Woman's Realm f ooooooooooooooooo GREEN RIDGE has always been the cleanest section of the city. Yester day an odor of formaldehyde was so all-pervading that It was suspected tho residents had energetically deter mined to fumigate tho out-of-door at mosphere. There were those who In timated that tho disinfectant con ditions of tho air had been notlccnblo ever since the commltteo of tho Wo man's club had returned from visiting tho dallies In tho vicinity, the tourists having felt that vigorous sanitary measures had to bo taken before they could keep the Sabbath day In a seemly fashion. Tho Green Ridge Woman's club held n general meeting yesterday afternoon In the lecture room of tho Presbyterian church, nnd such a meeting! It Is no wonder that section of town Is giving Scrnnton a continuous series of new sensations, when ea many of its rep resentative women can be brought together In u common cause where earnest determination and high alms are so evident. The rooms were filled with members and friends. Mrs. I. J. Lansing presided and spoke in graceful fashion of the hopes that had been ful filled and of the ambitions cherished for tho future of 'the club. Reports were heard from the various sections. Tho Art club was represented by Miss Dorothy Dlmmlck Vho gave n clever and humorous detailed account of tho work of tho month. It Is evident that the Economic sec tion ,1s tho liveliest of tho quartette, and tho president nrged more Interest In tho others which are so ably con ducted. Miss Anna Robinson gave a pleasing report of the Music section, and Miss Louise Gorecko told of the work of the department of History. Miss Amy Gerecke gave a most Interesting re port of tho Economic .section, In which sho spoke of the water agitation and Us results and described the pro grammes thus far taken up. A social Interim followed, tea being served by young ladles under the direc tion of Mrs. G. W. Kear and Mrs. S. P. Hull. A delightful musical pro gramme followed, when Mrs. Newbury sang sweetly, Miss Mary Dickson gave several charming violin solos, accom panied by Miss Clare Reynolds. Mrs. E. C. Dean played piano numbers with exceptionally fine execution. Today the Economic section will hold a most lmporant meeting, when reve lations as to the milk supply of this region will bo made to a degree calcu lated to drive people to drinking other fluids. MRS. RUTH M'ENERY STUART looks precisely like the portrait published In Harper's Bazaar of November 10, only prettier and younger. Sho wore the same gown Inst night. A beauty It was, too. One can never think of her ns writing the dialect stories which she read, notwithstanding the additional charm and effect given by her Interpretation. She looks like a society woman who would bo tho fashion in her set, like an Ideal club woman who could write smart papers which would confuse mankind; like an elegant, brilliant social leader of the times, but not tho writer of the rich est humor ever penned by a feminine hand. Sometimes you can't tell. SHE WAS a little lady with a self possessed air, and she was giving reminiscences of other days. "Tho Ilrst tlmo I ever used a telephone," she was saying, "I went to the mirror and patted my hair and put on my nicest, sweetest company face, and then I went and talked to that telephone as If It was my pot enemy who had come to call In her new tailor gown." And all tho other women listened and smiled, and wondered If they had not done tho very same thing In the other days. HUMAN NATURE STUDIES. Political Reasons. To Illustrate tho position of ono of tho ereat national parties aurlng a cam paign noted for its Jlery partisanship, Mr. Depew tells this story of the youth ful ji.'il'clan and tho woilouiok. "Xnc tutor in ono of tha smaller schot.ls near mv natho town of Peekskii; had drilled a number of Ms brightest scholars in the history of contemporary pilttlc. and to test both their faith and their kuowledgo he called upon three of them en' day und demanded a declaration ot personal political principles: " 'You aro a Republican, Tom, are you not?' " 'Yes, sir. "And, Bill, you aro a Prohibitionist, I believe?' "'Yes, sir.' " 'And, Jim, you nro a Democrat?' " 'Yes, sir.' " 'Well, now, the ono of you that can Blvo mo tho best reason why ho belongs to his party can havo this woodchuck which I cuught on my way to school this morning. " 'I am a Republican.' said tho first boy, 'because tho Republican party saved tho cuiiutry In tho war and abolished slavery.' " 'And, Bill, why are you a Prohibition ist?' " 'I am n Prohibitionist,' rattled off tho jouth, 'because rum is the country's greatest enemy and tho cause of our crowded prisons and poorhouses." " 'Excellent reasons. Bill!' remarked tho tutor encouragingly. 'Now, why aro you a Democrat, Jim?' " 'Well, sir," was tho slow reply, 'I am a Democrat because I want that woodchuck.' "And ho got It, too," added Mr. Depow. Saturday Evening Post. Outwitting Otis. In tho rank uul fllo of the urmy no subject Is mnro frequently commented upon than General Otis' extremo con scientiousness in matters of potty de tail, says tho Chlcaco Tiibune. During an ndvanco on the north line re cently ono company had to llo down at tho sldo of tho road for shelter from tlie well-directed volleys of tho Insurgents. Ono of tho privates nnd dropped his haversack in tho mlddlo of tho road away back, nnd, after tho company had laid down, ho calmly stocd up and walked down tho road toward the lost haver sack. Ho mado a fine target for tha Insurgents and tho bullets rattled atound him pretty lively. "Here, como back here. O'Malley," yelled tho lieutenant of the company. "You'll bo klllod." "Well," replied O'Malley over his shoul der, "I might jest ns well bo killed as have General Otis a-runnln' mo up hill and down dalo and comln' over to me house Ivery mornln' and a sayln', 'O'Mal ley, why don't you pay tho government fnv lint tinVAVBtlplf?' " Then ho calmly walked on and got tho lost pleco of property and, as ho came back and sat down just In time to escape a volley of Mausers, ho threw tho haver sack on the ground and said: "And when ho does come tomorrow mornln" to ino houso I'll say, 'Otis, mo little man, you'ro dead wrong. I never lost no haveysack. Thero's your bloody old potato bag. Tako It to tho government with me com pliments.' " Compliments. An Interesting anecdote Is told of the meeting of tho late Evangelist Moody and Mr. Gladstone In England, says tho Uuffnlo Commercial. Mr. Gladstone at tended tho Moody nnd Snnkcy meetings, and was deeply Improved. Heartily grasping Mr. Moody's hand, tho old statesman said to him: "I wish I had your body." Mr. Moody Immediately replied, "I wish I had your head." , Mr. Gladstone responded, "I mean 1 wish I had your limns;" to which Mr. Moody again replied, "I wish I had your brains," nnd with hearty good wishes they parted. His Answer Was Reassuring. Monsieur Cnllno, tho simple-hearted nnd Ingenuous Frenchman, happened to bo riding in a train in tho sumo com partment with n lndy who was In con stant fear of a smash-up, relates tho Youth's Companion. At every sudden stop, every jar, every round of tho boll or whistle, sho cried out: "Oh! ohl Have wo run off tho track? Is It a collision? Are wo going to bo killed?" Callno pnld no attention, hut remained wrapt In solemn silence. Presently tho lndy said to him: "And you. sir, aren't you nfrald of rail road nrcldents?" "Not I, mndnme." answered Callno, re assuringly. "It has been foretold that I nm to die on tho guillotine!" The nervous woman went Into hyste rics, and Imd to bo removed lrom tho train nt tho next station. Nirvana. A llttlo girl, who was trying to tell a friend how absent-minded hor grandpa was, said: "He walks about, thinking about noth ing, and, when he remembers It, ho then forgets that what ho thought ot win something entirely different from what ho wanted to remember." Collier's Weekly. A TEACHER'S DREAM. ,'Twas Saturday night, and a teacher sat Alone, her tnsk pursuing; Sho averaged this and sho averaged that Of all her class were doing; Sho reckoned percentage, so many boys, And so many girls nil counted, And marked all tho tardy absentees, And to what all tho absent amounted. Names nnd residence wroto In full, Over many columns and pages; Yankee, Teutonic, African, Celt, And averaged all their ages; Tho date of admission of every one, And cases of Hngellatlon, And prepared a list of tho graduates For the coming examination. Her weary head sank lew on her book, And her weary heart still lower. For some of her pupils had llttlo brain, And she could not furnish more. Sho slept, sho dreamed; It seemed she died, And her spirit went to Hades, And .hey met her there with a question fair, "Stnto w hat tho per cent, of your grado Is." Ages had slowly rolled away, Leaving but pattlal traces, And the teacher's spirit walked ono day In the old familiar places. A mound of fossilized school reports Attracted her observation. As high as the state houso dome, and as wldo As Boston and annexation. Sho enmo to tho spot where they burled her bones, And the ground was well built over. But laborers digging threw out a skull Onco planted beneath the clover. A disciple of Galen wandering by, Paused to look at tho diggers, And plucking tho skull up, looked thro' the eye. And saw It was lined with figures. "Just ns I thought," said the young M. D.. "How easy It Is to kill 'cm Statistics ossified every fold. Of cerebrum and cerebellum." "It's a curiosity, sure," said Pat, "By tho bones can you tell tho crea ture?" "Oh, nothing strange," said tho doctor, "that Was a nineteenth century teacher." Albany Journal.
