not own a recollection; it hi forao
thins that W read about and talked
about but ab-oliuely outside of tl'.olr
standauls of niei'sureinout: it Is a

nilel-Miiiiiuur iiicnic. tinned with ro

iif.'iily all subtracted or concealed.
We printed yesterday fis pertinent,
to today's occasion the admirable ora
tion by Ambassadur Chortle on "Abra
ham IjIiicoIu." Ii inepares: the mind
to enter lltthiKly Into the mood and
spirit of this al'ternoon'if pioceedlnKS.
To the prreat martyr-captain who un
der God's ;itii1uncu led with rmeh pa
tient bravery the hosts of freedom in
the trying" sIiukkU1 .'lfrninst disunion,
history cannot accord too sonorous
praise. H is a fact most pleasant to
observe that everywhere, both in our
own country, anionsr those, and the
sons of those who wore the Gray, and
also in til" countries beyond the sot,
the Kibes and jeeis thai greeted him In
life, are lepent'-d and lamented, whilst
the modern rivalry is to see who can
most oloiitiontly hound his piaWes be
fore men.
Yet withholding milhimt justly rtu1
to the ureat :ommaiuler-!n-chlel, it
is our lot today to render Justice to
the niemoiy oC his loyal fallen assist
ants, tin- citizen soldiery t'lat, respon

lid what they could and sank at lasl
to lost on Holds which their foilltud'j
won.
The happiest feature of the e.xeici.st-s

Interest has Jnsi been expressed by an
eminent Jurist, .Indue Arnold, of Phila
delphia. "Our divoiie huu'," he said, spe.ik
Iiik with pi.rtleul.ir refcteuee to Um
dlvoico laws of Pennsylvania, "are
wise and Just, 1 do not ajjree with

hi(yo said before, ate wise, just unl

u'fotrti should be liberally adinlnlstored.

front Scripture tluit desertion is mi
ullownukt cattso for divorce, As for
barbarous nnd cruel treatment, lio
points out that in the days when tlia
PcijQiturcs weto penned tlio position
of Woman In the social scalo was such
tlia'f wlfe-beatlni; was botli legal and
common, whereas today It Is one of
the moat abhorrent of offences, Wo
need not become Involved in any theo
logical controversy to gay that tlio
opinion of Judge Arnold coincides
with that of a majority of those who
retftml ninrriage as a civil and social
compact rather than as u tiacrament.
Those wlio would amend the divorce
laws in the direction of greater strin
gency In order to make divorce more
dllllcult uud costly are probably In n
hopeless mlnoilty. The tendency,
tightly or wroiiRly, Is In the other
direction.
Hut thoio Is one basis upon which
nil can tmreo. Society very properly
may say and by Its peculiar rations
enforce that those wishing to enter
tlio nmrrlflBc contract must show rea
sonable frruiiml of mutual fitness nnd
adaptability; that more convenience,
barter or sudden infatuation mutches
shall ho frowned upon nnd that the
man who, after marrlnKo, violates Its
most H.tcred vow shall be licit! hi at
least ciitial condemnation with the err.
Insr woman.

recollection, censured the aull-Quayltes

of retaliation must not work the other

Let If Be Tried.
THK SUIIJHCT of an Ideal
newspaper, temporarily ob
scured since the conclusion
of Uev. Mr. Sheldon's experi
ment wltli the 'I'opeka Capital, has
been revived by Uev. Dr. Parkhurst, of
Xow York, who is quoted as authority
for th j assertion that a (jrrotip of
wealthy citizens of New Yolk Intend to
start one. Their Idea, as outlined, Is
to foiind ii newspaper "that will tell
the truth; that will print all the news;
that cannot bo swayed by advert Is rs
or buslncs; that will have limitless
enterprise and be without fear; that
will lead public opinion; that the people
will believe;" thai. In short, will be
absolutely true to the highest convic
tions of public duty.
A proposition of this kind appeals
strongly to the imagination: the more
stronsly iiiiwiir those who idealize
greatly In thoir dally thoughts. "U'e
should be Kind to sec the experiment
tried, under tho most favorable initial
ciicumstances. It might do good. It
could not do harm. Kvcn Its failure
would not destroy tho beauty of the
endeavor.
In the meantime, In communities
where ideal daily newspapers abso
lutely Independent of all busines con
siderations and keyed to the very high
est notes In public, lire, do not exist
and ate nut likely soon to exist, the
opportunity is already open to citizens
desiious of better standards of journal
ism to confer with discrimination upon
existing papers their patronage and
suppoit, choosing the best rather than
merely tho cheapest or the most sen
sational; putting their appreciation in
substantial form behind those papers
which, upon the whole, judged day by
day and year by year, approximate
most closely to the higher and cleaner
standards.
Men having to make expenses In the
publishing business are likely to lit
their wares to the public demand. The
editor edits the public far loss thaii the
public edits the editor.
Numerous cabinet "booms" for favor
ite sons are achieving free advertise
ment without hope of other toward.
The Nicaragua Canal.
WHATRVP.U may bo the
differences of opinion as
to what constituted the
paramount issue of tho
iccoiit campaign, there can hardly bo
denial of the fact that from a hi on.il
viow of the question, looking well into
the future, tho paramount issue before
tn next session of congiess will be
the fate ol the Nicaragua canal.
"The canal pioposition" to use the
forceful words of the 'Washington
Star "Is now a very old one. II has
been before many congresses. It ha"?
been studied In the light of a changing
panorama of world events of oer half
n century TCvery shifting of politi
cal responsibility lu this hemisphere
has. accentuated the necessity -for tlio
waterway. The recent events where
by the United States vastly enlarged
the sphere of Its activity have made
the canal a, necessity more insistent
than ever before. All doubts as to
the utility of the canal, all questions
as to the propriety of governmental
construction, all fears for its success
have been swept away by the wonder
ful development of the political and
commercial importance of tho states
bordering on the P.icltlc ocean, both
American -and Asiatic, Every consid
eration of self-defense and self-respect
demnnds that this work bo completed
without lurther delay. It lepresonts
the most rorious need of the count! y
today, and until it Is passed, in sat
isfactory terms, congress will remain
derelict in a duty, clearly demon
strated by tho plain logic of events."
There have been largely credited re
ports of powerful lobby Inlluences at
work to block practical canal legisla
tion, Tho late (.'. P. .Huntington was
reputed to be at the head of a trans
continental lallway opposition, These
or other Inlluences have succeeded for
many years lu defeating the cleiuly
defined majority opinion of the coun
try. Tho time for thut kind of dllly
dallying has gone by. There will bo
no pardon for tho man In puhllci Ufa
who slnll hereafter try to defeat
this great national need,
The Thanksgiving proclamation of
tloveruor Uouscvelt Is a model docu
ment of Its kind brief, clear and to
the point. In "accurdanco with wise
custom" ho sets apart November 2'J "as
a day of thanksgiving and prayer to
thu Almighty for tlio Innumerable benc
llts conferred upon the citizens of Now
York state, in common with their fel-low-oltlzcns
of the whole nation dur
ing tho your which has just passed; for
tho material well-being that- vu enjoy
and for tho chances of inoial better
ment which aie always open to us,"
Volumes could not say more.
Tin waning population of Fiance,
long u subject of alurm, is nt last to
become the subject of special legisla
tion. M. Plot, a French senator, bus
Introduced a bill proposing to tus celi
bates above thirty yeats of ago, as well
as couples ufter five year's of childless
wedlock. It remains to be seen whether
financial penalty will tnko the place of
healthy morals lit rogcncrntlns a de
cadent slate.
Now that the money ratio 1st out of
illscttsslom a nev ratio nilses lo vex
the intlo of representation. At present
congress has 1137 members, or olio to
173.S01 population, This rntlo was es
tablished on the basis of the census of
1S00, hut now n new census has been
taken, and to continue the present
mcmbctstilp one member could be
elected only for 209,000 population,
which would re-arrange the represen
tation of a number of tlio states. Penn
sylvania, for example, would gain one.
On the other hand, Maine would lose
one, and without taking Into account
the suppressed vote lu the South thete
would be n general shakltiK up. The
ratio must be Increased, because al
leady the house has exhausted Its ac
commodations. Whatever decision Is
reached must be leached nt the coming
session; nnd It is apparent that no
proposition Is ftee from dllllcultles.
No southern statesman has yet
evolved n substantial reason why one
ballot In a stale practicing negro ills
frnnehlsmoont should have the con
gressional force of seven ballots In
slates which obey the letter nnd spirit
of tho constitution.
Senator Vest Is the latest prominent
Democrat to heave a brick at Bryan.
"lie can never bo president" Is the sen
ator's verdict. Hut he can make ji lot
of trouble for tho next Democrat who
aspires to bo.
Tho idea thut the United States will
have nothing to say as to what kind of
a government tho Cubans shall organ
ize Is preposterous. Responsibility is
ours and It cannot be shirked.

ENFOnoiNQ LIQUOR LAWS.

The or!faiil?alon known as the Men's union, In
l.iekawanna, Is biglnnlmr tn fee pome fruits as
tlio lesitll ot Its labois In behalf of reform and
.1 stricter cnfoircmcnt of the laws. One ot the
reforms the union Ins iilmed nt lias referents
tn the wholesale lolatlons of the liquor laws.
At (ileal CTpen-e cildeitce ban boon secured
nitalmt ficintis who lolale these laws, and the
court on Monday dealt with the first batch.
The licenses ot scieii K'cranton naloon-kerpeM
wne letoked and one constable was removed
Irom olllic for failure, to report Uolatlons of the
liquor laws In bis btlllwlck. Another tote
stable, niitliliallng removal, icflgncd his oilier.
To the average saloon-keeper the tetoklng of Ills
llrenso Is :i serious lens. A Ikrmo In Serunton
represdits in itself n money Milne of not less
than $.1100 id jay nothliiB of the expense of a
trial, tlio fines, possible imprisonment, and loss
of bmliicsi. The feven Straittonlans referred It)
lost their lh.cn.scs ami will be compelled to
clo5c their homes because they persisted In doliu
business on 5utnl.ijs the same iw on otlur days
of the week.
How many violators there aie In I-ukaw.ititia
county Is not cully ascertained, but It Ins been
estimated that lhey number tint less than Got'.
The crusade ugnlnst tlmii lm Just couitncneed.
This incluilos those wlio haie been selling liquor
without lkense as well as those who have
licenses but violate the proilslons of the license
laws, l'oislbly tho irusade will cause nreater
Tespcit for thu laws on l.-c iit of
thoo who have up to thui time escaped
detectloii. The Men'it union has had lu
fight at consldctabie (lliiH.iiilage. Ilie grand
juries haie eildcntty not been inuth In sjinpithy
with the reform, for we notice that many bills
have been Ignoied lit which the ptoseculors
chlni they had abundant and positive proof.
In many counties It appear! tn be net to itn
po'ilhlc to enfotcti the liquor laws. When, now
and then, Wohttors are prosecuted and Indicted
the juties eitiicr iicqtilt of ill-agree, icgardlcss
of the evidence. Violalms ficqttently make tho
pleas that If tliey obeed the liwrf they would
be unable to make a living, owing to the fact
that tin' competition in the liquor business is so
Stoat. Constables fall tn teport Wohlions of the
liquor laws wltli a per-i-tency that Is miming.
Ilvcn judges on tho bench ate sonietlniM moved
by pity for liquor law Inlators that are btought
before them for trial, and are more lenient than
in other cans. It is a troublesome problem
faerie t laws nto enacted, but they ate violated
with Impunity. In I-aikawauna county ptiblio
pressitte has become so great that there is
more nr less piospecl that for at least alittio
violations of the law- will be considerably dim
InMied. Hieiyeoint In the stale ought to make
one thing clear and uninMakaldy understood,
nntl that N that liccn-es will be 'promptly ie.
