SCItANTON, JANUAltY 4, 1901.
I'tiles- trie sum of $"C0 can be raised
today tho Hescue miction, vhlcli for
nlnp years hasi boon performing an
Invulnnblo service among tho unfor
tJjtinto of our city, will linve to close
Hm clonic. This v.'oulil be a public
misfortune at any time, but peculiar
ly so at this particular time, when a
title ot vice Is prevalent In our
city, mid when the question of meet
ing It inl caring for Its outcast vic
tims ii nna of the most pressing prob
lems of the hour. It may well In
doubted whether the community could
not better afford to cloe tho door of
Its most active church than to permit
this practical and effective liumn.no In
stitution to suspend. To a large de
gree our churches minister to the se
lect In the community, but the Rescue
mission worlts entltely among tha
j-ubmcrged fraction, and the suspen
sion of Its activities would leave un
filled a Altai want.
Ill the Interest of Justice.
SELDOM has Impudence gone
further than when Senator
VltlInm Drury and Represen
tative Reynolds mustered up
the audacity on Wednesday to name
Congressman Conncll as their candi
date for United States senator. Their
effrontery was the more marked In
a lew of tho fact that these two legis
lators from adjolnlngcountles had been
the most conspicuous tricksters In the
whole senatorial canvass, nach had
won his nomination and election on
the most specific and unqualified
pledges of party tegularlty, and each
had flagrantly betrayed the trust Im
posed In him by the regular Republi
cans in his district. A nomination
from such a source Is tin Insult.
Ordinarily magnanimity In the hour
of triumph is considered graceful and
appropriate. "Where a contest has been
openly waged and the victory has been
won bv honest methods, It Is an indi
cation of small mlndodncss for the
winners to gloat over their adver
saries. But in the campaign which has
Just been brought to a termination at
Harrlsburg, a different rulo needs to
be established as an object lesson In
honest politics. Tho rank perfidy thtro
made manifest and tho inexcusable
disregard of solemn pledges must bo
punished as a matter of Justice to
those who have jemalned steadfast and
loyal. Treason Is mad respectable
when icwaided. and fidelity is dis
couraged by the political killing of the
fatted calf for the renegade and de
serter. The time has come In our politics
whin a lino must bo drawn, and men
llku Drury and Reynolds uro proper
subjects or demarcation. This Is not
sild vindlcthely. nor in any spirit of
icvenge; It is said as a matter of
political necessity. Tho shame which
has tome to Luzerne and Lickaw.annn
counties by icason of lepcated and
notorious vlolitlnns of political agree
ments will continue) to cover thes
tottntlts with odium so long as tho
olivo binr.ch Is substituted for the
law hide.

A Canadian Object Lesson.
T " T UU'V In the Un,ted Elates
now lollway consttuc-
V lion la bscomlng less
evi'ty year, it wo except
thy building of connecting links una
small tilbutJiy lines. In Canada It Is
Just beginning. An example of pioneer
ullwuy consttuction likely to have far-
i caching rerults In described In some
detail In c, recent consular rcpoit by
United States Consul Brush, stationed
at Niagara Falls, Canada.
This Is a line to connect tno great
lakes with Hudson bay. The railway
plunges hundreds of miles through an
unbroken wilderness, with no cities,
towns or even villages to afford traffic,
in fact, only Indian guides and huntorj
have ever attempted to ponctrato the
great wilderness to the north. Never
theless, tho ruilroad, which is known
ns tho Algoma Central, Is being built
In tho most thorough mannar possible,
with the best equipment available,
iblo to stand almost any strain upon It
ind capablo of good service for years
to come. Elghty-flve-pound steel rails
are used, and tho locomotives are of
snormous size, weighing 133 tons when
equipped for traffic.
The new railway starts at Sault Sto.
Marie. Ground was broken less than
four months ago, but already twenty
five miles of roaa are completed and in
use, and the railway Is pushing for
ward at the ratu of half a milo a day.
It Is expected that It will requlro three
years to complete the road. The mil
lions, of, capital involved came mostly
from tho United State's, but tho build
era have made careful computations u's
to tralllo and are confident that the
ipad will realize all that Is piomlsed
as an Investment. It had Its origin In
tho necessity of bringing supplies of
pulp wood from the far nprth to tho
Sault wills, but It opens up as well a
jcglon that Is fabulouMy rich in min
erals and timber. Tho mineral wealth
U) said to be practically Inexhaustible,
consisting of mountains of iron, copper,
and other valuable ores. Among other
discoveries Is that of a solid bed ot
gypsum eight miles In length. In tim
ber, the supplies aro equally valuable.
For hundreds of mites, ltj is claimed,
the railway will run through denso for
ests of big trees, Including birch, maple,
hard elm, tamarack, spruce, balsam,
poplar and white pine. Curl.' birch,
which can now be bought along the
railway for 40 ccnta a cord, commands
$40 a thousand feet In tho United
Qtatos. Kim wood that can be cut at 10
cents a cord sells for $25 a thousand
feet at Minneapolis and other points
In tho Northwest that are within easy
shipping distance.
It Is announced that particular at
tention will bo given to transient traf
fic, and at every stopping place a first
class hotel will be built by tho railway.
At Hudson Bay, It is proposed to es
tablish n modern seaside hotel. Gnmo
Is plentiful, and ccorcs of lakes and
rivers that are teeming with fish will
be reached by the railway. Tho Bccn
wy, bracing climate, hunting and fish
ing arc expected to attract thousands
of tourists. Tho railway also Intends
to handle Hudson Bay fish products on
a large scale. If tho plans of tho offi
cials are all carried out, tho new rail
way to the north, reaching as It, does
to tho very slopes of the Arctic ocean,
will be one of the most daring and
picturesque attempts to Bubjugato a
wilderness known to railway nnnals.
The Ontario government, In addition
to a subvention of $7,000 a mite, grants
a 20-mlle bolt of land to the construc
tors of the road ten miles on cither
Bide of the track. A former resident
of Scranton, who recently explored a
portion of tho territory comprehended
within this project, says It Is undoubt
edly destined to be a theater of great
developments. Those who decry sub
sidies for American ocean shipping
would probably object on principle to
this Canadian form of government
paternalism extended over private cn
terprlso but the next generation will
reap large benefits and probably erect
monuments In honor of tho pioneers ot
today.
The most complete method of stop
pinghazing In Individual cases at "West
Point would be for fond parents to
train up their candidate sons as prlzo
fighters. A blr, strong, scrappy boy
with ordinary brains, probably gets
through the military academy with
considerably more credit than tho
slender, studious chan who lias won
mratorlcnl pilzes and Sunday school
iuuo Bt.nu ,,u ntia in ijiu iwnuergar
tcn. A strong, muscular youth will
bo ablo to keep up his mental requis
ites bettor than the Intellectual endot
who. by reason of brutal treatment at
tho hands of fellow students, Is In
capacitated bodily and mentally for
his arduous work. This is rather poor
encouragement for the ambitious, stu
dious boy, but a fow powerful, lron
musclcd llrst year follows would hava
si weighty morat effect on tho ener
getic Ingenuity of upper-class bullies.
Defunct.
THOSE Democrats at Han is
burg who took orders from
Guffev nnd fused with Re
publican bolters In a quarrel
not of their concern nre lauded as
patriots In tho anti-Quay press whlls
those Democrats who, in the failure of
their own party to put in an official
appearance, took the liberty to chooso
the other horn of tho Republican
dilemma, preferring straight Republi
canism to hybrid politics of tho boodle
denomination, are subjected to bill
ingsgate. This illustrates anew tho despicable
hypocrisy of tho whole so-called in
surgent movement a movement which,
under the pretence of purity and re
form, has befouled the commonwealth
with abominable method to a decree
making the most practiced regular
blush. Words are lacking to charac
terize fittingly the Impudent abandon
with which tho Pharisaical principals
In the Boxer coalition, ns they drew
near the close of their contest for cap
ture of the legislature, threw aside
their masks of piety and went Into tho
dirty work of political manipulation
like past masters of tho devious art.
They felt that their peculiar methods
weie Irresistible. They were dumb
founded when the count showed that
they had lost.
So now they vent their chagrin by
belaboring their opponents through tho
columns of their subsidized publica
tions. This relieves them and does
little harm. No fact Is clearer than
that tho bottom of their pretentious
combination for tevenga and plunder
has dropped completely out.
I.'dwin Jfarkham's "Century room"
has aroused a storm of vicious ciltl
rl&m In Chicago. It was not expectol
tint the effort would jeeelvo much
praise from that hot-bod of rhythm,
but such exhibitions of professional
Jrnlousy as havo nppoarcd In somo ot
tho Chicago papers were not antici
pated. For a Permanent Census.
W'llHN THE work of or
ganizing tho recent cen
sus was begun, 207 su
pervisors had to bo ap
pointed, commissioned and conflimod
within two months, and in two more
months S0.173 enumerators had to by
selected out of tho 300,000 applica
tions received. Most of this pvuti,.
force was Inexperienced; It had to bo
instructed In Its duties, organized, put
to work nnd, after a brief Interval of
usefulness, dispersed.
Similarly with tho clerical force at
tho bureau headquarters. Excepting
Director Men lam and tho fow nrinoi-
pal subordinates nppolntlvo at his dls-
crctlon, this had also to bo recruited
hurriedly out of such materlnl as of
fered. Examinations for clerical posi
tions In tho ofTlce wero held In a num
ber of large cities throughout tha
country. Tho total number examined
was C.I39, of whom 3,573 passed and
2.8C6 failed. The total cost of the se
ries of examinations, Including thu
salary of the chief ovamlr.er and Ills
assistant, traveling expenses, etc., was
$3,011.09. This amount represents an
expense of $1.30 for each person ex
amined, or .$2.44 for each person put
on the eligible list.
All this hnvto bo done and undono
every ten yfnrs. Some of tho censua
returns may bo expected to appear In
book form before a year from next
July; others will stragglo along for
thrco or four years. Very evidently
our census work Is based on an er
roneous and wasteful system. It ought
to be performed continuously by ex
perts specially selected and steadily
retained for that purpose. It ought
to bo resolved into a bureau of sta
tistics on a J urge nnd permanent
scale.
Nikola Tesla, ot wireless telegraph
fame, expresses nn opinion that It Is
the inhabitants of Venus and not
Mars that are trying to signal to us
nt present. Tesla proposes to answer
Venus by creating elect ileal distur
bances about tho earth that will uf
foot the electrical Instruments on
Vfnus, but what he Intends to do In
c.aso the lingo of Venus will not lit
our telegraphic code will probably re
main a secret for some time hence.
Somebody proposes that a restraint
by law Bhould be placed on the form
ing of suicide clubs, but It really scorns
that such a plan would defeat tho
commendable purpose of ridding the
world of cranks, by a slow process, to
bo sure, but cno that seems reasonably
accurate.

Mr.S. COUNEMUS STEVENSON U a woman
of more than local fame. Her book,
called "A Dream ot Empire," dealing with Maxi
mllllan'a ill-fated reign In Mexico, brought her
before the literary and historical world. H-r
tudlci In, and paixjrs on, archcolocy hae made
her a figure In tho scientific world, fsho has
ndd-d to thl) theoretical knowledge by recently
timklng a trip to Egypt In tho Interests of tie
I'lihcralty of Pcnnqhanla, of whoso artheologl
nl Upartment rho Is tho only woman number,
relays tho Saturdiy Ecnlnc Post.
Her trip to Egjpt put l.r In touch with the
ptople, the excavations, tic political llle and
the archcolosleal rucirihea of that countiy. She
eijs the most Intimtlns meat she ate was a
grand dinner ghen 'ur by the greatest ahelk
in that rart of the country. Ills Invitation
came to her with (.rcat fonnallty, and ahe looled
foraaid to the dinner with delight. She felt
It woi'ld bo a unique emotion.
Hut tho rould not cat one quarter as much
ai they served to her. She enjojed (ho first few
cnur'ej an! was satisfied. T)is after dish was
served by the Bedouin servants; on, on went the
dlnmr, and the others ate, but It was impossl
bl for her to do so She touched the food
slightly, uu to tho r.fteroth course; tnen her
nature rebelled.
At the lift couise the powerful sheik nrow.
He was ohv lowly irltatcd and concerned. UaL.
Ii g tier a sweeping bo., he said:
"Madam, jou do rot eat, because you are an
gry that I have not terved you more dishes, f
vv-ir.t not to oTend. I have served twenty-two
dlslut, madam, tho hlahost honor we can poi
tlbly pay. It Is exactly the name dinner, madam,
tint I served to ;cur great war lord, General
(.rant, when he was iny guest."
Enthusiasm Was Misplaced.
SEXATOlt CUM.OU U still a lover of old
New England fare, though he has been
separated fion the homo of his fathers for many
jcin, relates a Washington correspondent. Tho
other day he took two lidles to luncheon. "TMs
relaunnt Is famous for Its pumpkin pies," he
said; "leal, gcnulno pumpkin pies. Walter,
with our luncheon we shall want some pumpkin
Pie."
They had some otfcr and some fowl, ind
then tho man who looks like Lincoln turned to
the waiter: "How, three pieces of that fine
pumpkin pie."
The waiter brought three pieces of golden-hued
pie. Mr. Cullom looked at them in ecstasy.
"That Is pumpkin i.io surh as mother used to
make," he said. "It Is genuine pumpkin pie.
W'atiir, where do ou get the pumklns this
pie Is made from in Old New England, I'll
bet."
"'Deed, I dunno, mh," the waiter replied,
"but dat ain't pumpkin pie, sail Pumpkin pie
was all out, ro I brought jou sweet pcrtatcr pie
Instead, rah."

LOftn KELVIX once surprised hU class by
the quick and amusing manner In which he
colved n problem on "sound," says London M.
A. P. In the midst of an operlment Lord Kel
vin had ceased lecturing, and was silently watch
ing, nlorg with most of the students, the prog,
tea of ait experiment. There was a elead silence
v.hleh was suddenly and rudely broken by the
sound of a marble, which an inattentive student
had purposely dropptd, and which continued to
roll and drop, drop, drop down all the tiers of
benches till it reached the ground floor. Mean
while Lord Kelvin had quickly turned round and
obcrved where the maible emerged on to the
floor. He counted bade the number of tlmis
lie had heaul It drop, and then announced:
".Mr. X , of the seventh tier, jeu may
report to me after the lecture."
The eminent scientist had correctly spotted
the culprit,

They were secluded for that tlmo In the papal

HOW UNCLE GAM LOST HIS
MERCHANT MAKINE.
From tho New York Sun.
Few persons realize exactly how it was that
the United States lost Its merchant marine. In
a general way It Is known that the civil war cost
us our prcstigo upon the seas and that, compar
atively speaking, the situation lias in no wa
improved. Jeut before the war wo wero thu
second power In the commeico upon the. oeean
and tho Indications were that wo vvcie about to
move Into a poltlon of primacy. The routed,
erate privateers foieed our shipping to seek pro.
tcctlon under other flags. Before the war had
ended a complete chauo had como over the
building of ships. Nuodhad given place to
Iron. Tills country was vlthout faillltlcs for
this kind of ship construction and it was betauso
of this fact that tho United States were left
behind.
