SCRANTON, MAnciI'9, 1900. Tho attitude of tho Catholic chuich toward Amcilcun cutitiol In tho Phil ippine., its ik'lltied by Cntallnnl alb bans In a speech delivered at Chicago on Wednesday, will Impioss favorably AmetkuHb- of all denominational lean Inps. "The Catholics," said he, "do not nsk any special protection or prlvlleses. All that we nsk Is a fair field and no favor. This, I believe, we will enjoy under American government In the Philippines ns well as clscvvhcic." One Year of Mayor flolr. f-rlW DAY following Mayor r Jlolr's election Tho Tribune, calling- attention to the clr- cnnistimtCM surtoundlng his Indorsement by the people, said: "If lie shall evince tho courage necessary to enfotco clean methods In the derail ment nnilir lilt conttol nnd shall dis play aMu- will and Inclination of n man beholden to no da, clan or faction, they will slnnd by him to a man nnd help to make his administtatlon a rec-oid-bieaker for fciiccess." Tho Hist j car of tho mayor's admin lstiatlon la drawing to a close. It has keen mniltcd by mistakes of judgment which have not escipcd uiltlclsm nnd by trust In otheis which has not always been wisely placed, hatteily, however, there have been signs that the mayor has awakened to some of tho unfoi tunate environments of his position and his self-assertion has been followed by wholesome icsults. There Is time and oppottunlty for a fuither display of personal Independence and accordingly ns tho ninvor shall imptove these he will advance his piospects of complet ing a successful term. The people will rispond quickly and cordially to self-ownership in the inavoi's oilke. when they will look askance at any uppeaiance of outside manipulation. Recognizing this fact and acting fe.ulcssly upon it, the chance is open to James Moir, with the advantage of the knowledge and ex cellence he has alrently acquired, to wilte In the two icinalnlng eais of his ndinlnlstiatlon a page of tenown for himself and of Increasing satisfaction among the people. 'Those who In ailous aits of tho country are earnestly piotestlng from the best motives against the proposed tariff, are really seeking to buiden the Puerto Ilicans and make their position worse th.yi It is. Those who advocate free tiade for the island at this time on the giound of sjmpathy with the inhabitants, have not looked into the case enough to see that what they pro pose Is not a lellef to the people in the way of taxation as the tariff is, but an Increased and heavy burden "Senator .Lodge. A Plain Issue. AT A CONFEUKNCn with a delegation of Tic-publican senators held In tho white house Wednesday, the presi dent, It Is said, fiankly told tho sena tois that he was. satlslled from fuller lnfoimatlon and more nintuie rclleo tlon that the tecomnunditlons of hia nnnu il message for free trade with l'uerto TJIco weie ill advised, and that he is now earnestly in favor of the enactment of the house bill piovIJ Injr for a tariff of 15 per cent, of the Dlngley law latcs. llui people of the country will soon com" to see the mat ter in tho same light as he does, the president said, and they will as lrankly admit that a duty is better for the V'jeito Jtleans than fioo trade. We deilve the foregoing Infoimttlon flum the Washington couespondence of the New Yoik Sun, which is usually ojy jeliable Hut fjom the Wash ington coriespondence of tho Chicago Times-Herald, u paper opposed to tho house bill, wo leain irore of the tfe. tails of the president's attitude. "Pres ident McKinley," the Times. Herald correspondent says, "hat taken a bold nnd firm stand on this question. Con traiy to the general impression, he la not eager for a second teim. He would gladlf give up his nfllco a yeai hence. Uut if the people decide that he mut htay he perceives that the great and vei whelming problem of his second teijn is the establishment of good gov- rnment In tho Philippines and the ad i ancement ot the people of that archi pelago. " The pietldent is dotci mined that if he-'Ynust undertake this hercu lean task n't) will havo his hands free. Ho will know vvheie he stunds under the constitution. For this leason he wn'ntsSuprtjne court judgment aa to what thejpnvvrs of the government m6 arid that, is why he stands out tor aPuer(o mean tariff. If the pro posed tariff on Puerto Hlco wero op prcsslve.ho sas,h'e would not favor It, but he declares it Is not and that the peoplp of .Puerto Rico are content with it, .nnrt.jhnt the Anicricun peoplo will Indoreo It when they know the facts. The president say somo small, nom inal tax uron Puerto Rico Is a shield for him in dealing with tho infinitely moi e Important question of the Philip, pines, nnd that if he cannot have this shield leading to a Judicial determina tion or dig powers, ho In willing to es- cape the Philippine problem by being defeated for rp-electlon." This brings the question to an Isuuo before the Republican party and ba foie the., coupiry. Tho piesldent Is properly ttip" leader of his party and of those'-who bellevo in the expansion pr9wran.iiet , He iiaii Indicated Ihe rea- ' son whylio considers a temporary tariff or Puerto Rico essential to tho fueteiwjful administration of the ptob- terns arising fiom the new acquisitions of territory. If his lendeishlp In this matter Is sustained, ho will lead on; If not, lie must In self uspect relin quish It to 'orne one ols". It Is for tha party ami the peoplo to riptide. Have they confidence In William McKinley or have they not? Arc they satlslled with the main lesults of his ndmlnlB tiMtlcn or aro they not' Are they will ing to stistnln him under the attacks chiefly of political enemies aided by some misguided Republicans who will soon leallzo Jho etror Into which they have fallen, or nte they not 7 It Is a tltw for plain rpoaUlr.,? and wv nro glad that the picsldnit has caused the question to bo put beforo the people In such a manner that their answer must be decisive. Chalrmnn Hanna's Intention to get right down to business in the matter ot .educating the people regarding tho Is sues of tho npproachlng presidential campaign is pre-eminently prudent1. No wise general takes any chances through over-confldence. The Laborer and HI Hire. --Hn HILL of Senator Hoar to I double tho pay of justices of M ' the United Stales Supreme court and to Incicuse fiom 10 to CC 2-8 per cent, the pay ot federal clicuit nnd distiict eotitt Judges is a uicnstiiu which should have public ap piovnl. Tho chief Judge of the highest (ouit of Great Hiitaln lrcclves $50,000 a year; we pay our judge of corres ponding rnnk $10,500 and then wonder sometimes why the loally great men In tho profession of the law, when pioffeied positions on the bench, hesi tate to accent because of the financial .sacrifice Involved. Even the chief jus tice of tho Supreme court of the state of New Yoi k i ecelv e.s $17,500 a ear, and lie has few of tho social expenses In sepaiable from the position of a justice of the SuDieme federal couit. Uconomy Is a good thine but It can be misplaced. There aie a whole lot of positions in connection with govern ment wheie the emoluments far ex ceed tho value of the service lendered. A county or city treasurer, under tha fee si stem, can, for example, hlie deputies to do all tho woik and still pocket $10,000 to $20,000 u jcar. The same is true of many state ofTlces, notably tho secretaiy of the common wealth, a place reputedly worth $20,000 to $30,000 a j ear to Its incumbent, the real value of whose services might be exceeded by a salaiy of $3,000 a jear. A few of these bonanza Jobs jet ie mnin In the federal service, but not many; publicity is lapldly weeding them out. It will be true economy to bring about a re-adjustment of in comes In connection with these oillces, with the tendency downward. Rut in the case of a judicial position the clicumstances aie wholly dlffeient. A man lit to bo on the bench of any couit necessarily has qualities of mind untl heart sufficient to equip him for earning more money out of ollice than ho receives ns salary while In office. It is tiue that money is not tho only nor pel haps the chief consideration which Impels men to seek or to accept the proffer of judicial positions. Yet It is also ttue that the upilght, con sclentloub and Intelligent Judge de serves so well oC tho community that it ought to pay him a generous salaiy as measuied by the earning powet.s of men of his lank and qualifications. The higher we go In the scale thu greater this necessity appears; and when we reach the august circle of the Supreme court nnd find that, at a costly capital wheie, with economical management, It costs to live In nifptopiltito manner more than in any other Ameiican city tho men who are officially at the sum mit of tho judiciary of the countiy; men whose work molds the whole diameter of our Institutions nnd Is most vltul to eveiy public Inteiest of our time, locelve in payment for their exalted setvlees huidly more than the average pocket lngs of an aldeiman In a fairly litigious city ward, the wonder is that our great court of final appeal has so well pieserved In these later jears its dignity, leputation and chai ucter. It is high time that the active en deavor of discerning men were cm ploved in coriectinc these moie con spicuous inequalities, and public opln. ton should lapidly adjust Itself to the fact that in tho new eia of nntional ex pansion which is opening upon us chaiactei and ability must be Increas ingly dinfted into the beivlce of tl.e nation and paid foi in such a w ay as to Insute their continued employment. Those who are opposing the admlnls tiatlon's plan for tho teller of Puerto Rico, whether In mlsundeistanding oi from a wish to muke political capital, aie teglsteilng their stubbornness In human mlseiy. Tho delay should cease; the lellef should go through at once. A Question of Principle. THi: ESTRUMKD New Age, of Tunkhannoek, In convinced that If .Senator Quay shall ho seated upon the govei nor's appointment his factional oppon ents will retaliate by voting the Demo eratic ticket next fall, thus turning the state over to Dcmociatlc control. This Is a bildgo which need not be ciossed befoie It Is j cached. Wo havo no doubt that the leadeis In the war against Quay would bo willing to do as the Now Ago surmises. They have repeatedly declared their intention to wage theli light to Quay's political ex termination. Their ublllty to cairy a sufficient following with them to effect this purpose Is u matter which cannot, however, be decided before the votes ate counted. It used to be an accepted theory that tho mujority of a party should have the right to make party nominations and decide party policy. Wo bellevo that this theory Is still In favor among a great majority of tho Republican vot ers of Pennsylvania. Tho Insurgent proposition Is that the majority should surrender If the inlnoilty, under pen alty of having the minority bolt and Join with tho Democrats In an at tempt to throw tho state Into Demo cratic control. One of these theoiles must prevail. Both cannot obtain at the same time. Duilngr the next few months the peo ple of Pennsylvania will have n op portunity to express their Ideas on this subject. In tho meantime, the ques tion of Quny's admission on guberna torial appointment Is a question for the United States senate to decide. It cannot bo decided by tho newspapers of Pennsylvania. . . Representative Levy, ot New York, has introduced n resolution In congress setting forth thnt Inasmuch as It cost the United States something like $300, 000,000 to free Cuba, the secretary of war should set aside one-fourth of alt the revenues of Cuba to apply upon tho reimbursement of Undo Sam. Mr. Levy Is evidently a man of thrift. More than half of all the mall mat ter carried by the government Is stuff upon which no postage Is paid seeds, congressional records, department re ports nnd other franked matter. This explains the postal deficit. The people who wish government ' publications should be made to pay at least tho postage cost of distribution. The senate and house committees ate nt odds over the construction of a Pacific cable, one wanting a govern ment cable and the other demanding private ownership under federal sub sidy. It Is to be hoped that these dif ferences ns to detail will not defeat the main puipose, which Is veiy impor tant and urgent. The records for successful service in behalf of constituents and the state made at Harrlsburg by Representa tives Farr and Scheuer constitute con vincing reasons why factionalism should not be permitted to replace them by untried and Inexperienced man. Mr. Montagu White very wisely calls attention to the fact that tho proposed hospital ship that Is to be equipped for the benflt of the Boers will be of little use to tho Transvaalers unless provided with trucks to carry It from three to five hundred miles inland. Lllloukalanl Domlnls ought to real ize that tho position of ex-queen at a salary of $10,000 a year Ib not to be sneezed at; yet, some persons are never satisfied unless they are wield ing the gavel. Notwithstanding the feelings of Bourko Cockran nnd others, the Iilsh soldiers In tho service of the queen seem to be getting the glory for a large share of the fighting in South Africa. Judging from the list of wants pre paied by the Social Democratic .con vention at Indianapolis the other night, Brother Dehs and his. friends will al was have something to hope for. "Peace-at-any-iate" and "stop-the-war" meetings In England seem to produce results similar to those which follow the hanging of a pair of cats on a clothes line. If tho tax on oleomargarine Is fixed at a point that will make the boon of the boarding house a luxury, the wealthy may then enjoy It. FAITH. A happy child plavs on the floor.

Charles Emory Smith in the New York Journal. The three years of the McKinley ad ministration have each had a special and significant work and character. Tho first restarted tho arrested wheels of business and Industry and restored tho national prosperity. Tho second, facing tho war with Spain and crowned with a swift and unparalleled triumph, raised tho republic to new position nnd pres tige ns a world power. Tho third has been devoted to tho practical problems and the tremendous responsibilities which lie along tho untried pathways In the new extension and broader destiny of tho nation. Each year and each duty has witnessed the most signal success. Tho first act of the president attested his clear vision nad resolute purpose. Executives generally shrink from extra sesblons, and accept them slowly, re luctantly and under dire stress. But President McKinley, as soon ns h had taken the oath, summoned congress at the earliest possible day to rc-estnbllsh tho temporarily abandoned McKinley policy. The result was tho full restora tion of shattered public confidence and tho return of an Interrupted business ac tivity and prosperity which has brought tho highest rewards both to capital and labor. No change from business dark, ness to light was ever swifter, and nono was ever more directly due to adminis trative action. With that obligation, quickly met, .a duty of humanity presented itself, and Its requirements wero no less faithfully and conscientiously fulfilled. There is no need to review tho war with Spain. Its brilliant victories and Us sweeping suc cesses will ever remain among the most shining pages of our national glory. Tho more trying task came with Its triumph ant conclusion, and with the duty of pa cifying, organizing, guiding and develop ing the rude and remote peoples which the Inescapable logic of events had brought under our flag. Great progress has been mado In that work. Tho his tory of similar national extensions will bo searched in vain to find where so much has been accomplished in so short a time, or where tho exercise of national authority has been governed by such high, humane and unselfish spirit. Tho threo years of President McKln le's administration have started tho na tion on now and broader lines, and have loft an impression which will be felt through all our future.
