The r-Mevmeil TIiiioh chould compose
Its nerves with tcRnnl to tliu political
rutin o of Hciunton. Kipper bill or no
ilppor bill, this city will have powerful
friends to pafegunicl Hu InturcxtM nt
IIiirrlsburK, and to secure a charter
under which the people of Scranton
may have just as kooiI u municipal ad
mlnlttratlnti as tluv aro willing to elect

The Wrong Remedy.
? "syllAT yi'Ilow Jour nail hiii,
I whether notoriously and tin-
lilushlriKly obscene, as urn
some of the Sunday Issues,
oi Mmnly vituperative and abusive In
the- falsely taken name of reform, us
aie u numhrr of the dallies In the lame
cities, would sooner or later offend and
disgust a Mllllclent number of people
in provoke an Injurious reaction of
public sentiment upon nil forms of
newspaper enterprise has for somu
tlinu been evident. Signs of this re
liction are ulready visible nt Harris
buin In propositions to make more
(stringent the libel laws of this com
monwealth. The view of Journalism expressed by
Oovcrnor Stone at the recent board of
trade banquet that It has suffemd
i-orry degeneration since the days of
Oreeley and Dana, and that today it Is
tending rapidly toward a purely com
mercial level, with opinions as well as
news listed on Hie bargain counter
whether true or not, Is the view which
Is gaining currency among public men.
So rapidly has this opinion diffused
Itself In recent years, under the Im
petus of huch exhibitions of wholesale
hut Ineffectual subsidy and dishonest
eontrol us were to be seen In the re
cent factional war In this state, that It
has lately come to be a boast of as
pirants for elective olfiec that they
would prefer the opposition of the
newspapers of the large cities to their
most enthusiastic support. Nor Is tills
boast entirely Idle. The power of the
press Is jet considerable, but it Is
Stoutest In the dltectlon of the truth
ful presentation of timely Information
and smallest and most rapidly declin
ing In the direction of trying, either
by single or confederated shrewishness,
to scold a man. party or policy out of
public, support.
It Is open to gnu ! doubt, however,
whether It Is within the power of legis
lation to effect any change In the man-
tiers and moralsof journalism. The libel
laws today arc stringent and compre-
henslve. Where Juries are unbiased nnd
the levels of public Intelligence high,
the citizen who is Injured by a printed
communication has little dltlleulty In
securing legal redress. Where diffi
culty now exists In biinglng to punish
ment those who mlsuso the functions
of Journalism It is not a creation of
statute but of prevalent opinion and
environment. There Is not a day that
tho yellow prints do not contain a.
number of groin libels. That they nre
not held to stricter account Is tiot a
fault of tho law but of the indifference,
of public sentiment which discourages
lecouise to the law.
The attempt at Hnrrisburg to recast
and strengthen tho libel laws no ns to
put a curb on reckless defamation of
vlKiracter, and malicious distortion of
truth Is inspired by excesses of Jour
nalism which are Indefensible. With
Its purpose every honest clttzen Is In
hearty sympathy. Hut the method Is
Ill-chosen. The law Is not at fault.
Tliu fault Is with the people, who are
In the throes of an epidemic of ub
hoi mat appetite for printed frivolity
and licentiousness. I.lko the measles
and tho grip, this will run Its course
and nature nt notmal will re-nssert
herself. It Is Inconceivable that tho
twentieth century of Christian civil
ization Is to be Ions contaminated and
travestied, by a general public support
of Journalistic, pandering.
It Is tepoited that some of the for
eign representatives at Washington
aro disposed, to feel aggrieved ut the
half-masting of the white houso flag In
tribute to Victoria. If true, we know
nu lemedy save for them to recover
from their dissatisfaction as best they
may.
A Conspicuous Proof.
THE LAST act of the drama
of establishing the gold
standard In the United
States Is about to be taken
by congress in the adoption ot the
Overstreet bill, which piovldes that
all gold and silver coins of the United
States, except subsidiary coins (that
Is, fractions of a dollar), shall bo ex
changeable for each other nt par nt
tho treasury ot the United States at
this demand of the holder. This bill
haa Just been reported favorably fiom
the house committee on banking and
curerncy, and Its prompt enactment Is
ixpected nnd demanded,
The philosophy of this proposition Is
Bi'lf-evldeiU. It puts Into distinct law
what 'is already a substantial fiict
namely, the; parity of all our iorms of
money rated on the gold bash, it also
prevents uny discrimination In tho
pnyinent of money Into the tieasury

and does away with tho temptation of
Individuals and banking Institutions to
hoard gold In times ot panic or public
unrest. When n man knows positively
that the paper or silver dollar In his
pocket can be converted nt his option
Into a gold dollar, the deslte to effect
stteli conversion wilt disappear. This
Is Illustrated In tuns on banks, when
depositors, clamoring to get their
money out, no sooner discover that
they rnrr get It out than they become
satisfied to leave it In.
The success of the cnmpalgn to make
gold the standard of values In this
country presents n conspicuous Illus
tration of the susceptibility of the
American people to Intelligent and per
sistent ngltntlon and education. It of
fers a noteworthy proof of tho ulti
mata soundness of tho republican form
of government.
The Philadelphia Press Is Inclined to
doubt whether there Is any good tea
son why displays of the National
O liar el should bo made upon occnslons
like tho Inauguration of n president.
We know of none.
Providing for Old Age.
THE QUESTION of what to do
with men and women In the
classified civil service of tho
I'nlted States who have,
survived the ngs of elllclcncy forms tho
subject of nn Interesting report Just
submitted by a committee of the Civil
Service Kcform leaeue.
This question Is not so pressing now
ns It will be u generation hence. The
average age of entrance Into the civil
service Is only IS. The law establish
ing a classlllcd and regulated civil ser
vice Is only seventeen years old. An
Inquliy made some years ago showed
th.it less than 2 per cent, of the It. 031
persons employed at that time under
civil service rules In the eight depart
ments at Washington were 70 or more
years old. The percentage today Is a
ttllle higher than it was then, but It Is
not alarming. It) the state service of
Massachusetts ato 800 positions which
for sixteen years have been tinder
strict civil service titles, yet the. per
centage of employes over 70 Is of 1
per cent. It Is thciefore npparent that
some yeais must elapse befoie the
necessity for a scheme of superannua
tion will press heavily. Nevertheless
it is receiving thoughtful attention and
among the measures ptoposed to weed
out the old employes are; A civil ser
vice pension list; a retirement fund
to bo made up by deductions from sala
ries; a provision requiring endowment
or deferred annuity Insurance for all
seeking admission to the civil service;
provision for the forced retirement ot
a certain percentage of employes each
year; recurring examinations for pro
motion, reductions and dismissals; a
dally record of eillclency for the sams
purpose; fixed terms of oillce; forced
retirement at n ccitaln ago; and vari
ous combinations of these features.
Upon the humane basis that provi
sion for old age support would better
become Uncle Sam as an employer
than the unconditional kicking out of
worn-out employes upon the cold cliur
Ity of the world the committee unani
mously recommends as the best temedy
for superannuation a system requiring
life Insurance on the deferred annuity
plan by all employes during probation,
as a prerequlsltu to final appointment,
the policies to be non-nsslguabiu and
in government control, nnd to be se
cured by deposits from the Insuring
companies In government control; those
employes still capable and useful at tho
llxed age id" be allowed to stay In the
service at regular salary, on condition
that their annuities go to n surplus
fund with which to pay annuities to
th0SP under that llxed age who have
become Incapable fromagennd through
no fault of their own; and a system
of dally recoids of eillclency, combined,
perhaps, with rocutrlng Inspection by
a government physician, and in some
cases, with examinations, to deter
mine who can stay In over tho llxed
age and who below it are to share In
the surplus annuities. Tho exact ago
at which the annuities would normally
bo payable, varying perhaps for dif
ferent kinds of service; the amount of
annuity to be paid for In the various
grades- tho age and conditions under
which the surplus annuities would l
paid to those superannuated below tho
normal age, and nil other details nec
essary to carry out the plan should, It
thinks, be llxed by regulations to bo
drawn by soma special commission,
composed perhaps of the civil services
commission and some experienced ofll
eUls of the departments appointed by
the president.
The nineteenth century, and especial
ly Its latter half, having been pre
eminently the century of tho rapid ac
cumulation of wealth In consequence
of the diversification und perfection of
the processes of Industry, the twen
tieth century should and will be pre
eminently tho century In which lutein
gent benevolence shall provide better
means for distributing this wealth und
particularly for endowing the worker
ns well as the director of work ngalnst
tho rainy days of sickness, accidental
disability and old age. Towntd this
result the government should lead.
As was to have been expected, tho
Inquiry by Judge Tlnletter Into the
charge of the Philadelphia North
American that the police and school
authorities of that city wero fostering
gambling among the school children
has resulted In the revelation that tho
accusations nru without proof, lsol
uted cases ot gambling have been
found; they exist everywhere. Hut not
a Jot of evidence was adduced to con
nect these with the connlvunce and
encouragement of the administration
oillclals. The assertions In tho North
American that such connivance nnd
encouragement exist nre therefore dis
credited. An Inteiestlng gume of politics
seems to bo forming out west. Al
though residents of tho same city nnd
waid and trustees of tho samo church,
the two representatives of Indiana In
the United States senate ate not aa
Damon and Pythias; on the contrary,
a subterranean feud of warm and ear
nest proportions exists between them.
Recently Senntor Fairbanks has re
ceived mention for tho next president
cy. Now comes the suggestion from
tho caucus of the Kepubllcnn members
of the legislature of Tennosseo that
Senator Keverldgo In the kind of presi
dential timber whom the national dele
gates of that state would bo happy to
Indorse. Honors, therefote, are even,
to date, but It Is doubtful If this paral
lelism ran be long continued.
The tax proposed by the senulo oil
pioprletiuy medicines, tho formula of
which Is a trade secret, It one-tenth of
one cent when the retail pi Ice Is tun
cents, and for each additional live
cents In excess of ten cents, one
twentieth of one cent. Thus the tax
on a bottle of so-cnllcd patent medi
cine totalling for $1 would be nineteen
mills: and u drug Arm celling 1,000.000
bottles a year would have to pay 410.
000 simply for the privilege of doing
business, regardless of nil state and
local taxes or supervisory legislation.
This tax Is not needed. It docs no
good. It Is simply a hold-up of legiti
mate enterprise. The house should,
not submit to It.

receive his fiiind she was evidently gieatly ex

Mr. Weed's veuloi of the Interview-, the tpoke
to him immeeliately in these woieK:
"Mr. Weed, a tii.ill haves within an hour for
the I'nlted states; do not lose a moment In
wilting to Mr. Seward, )our i,eiritary of state,
saving to him that )ou knov- that the note that

will be of a fiiindly character, thai the queen

upon him lo accept, in generous spirit, the nug,
Kctctlous that .lie contained in the note, for it

Mr. Weed did not wait for further explanitloii.
He tiustcd this .vn:iju implicitly. He iiiime

Mr. Weed Hull went on lo iu) Hut not tho
le.ut interceding leatuie of this Incident xvaa tho
manner in which thli lady came in poucaaKn
of what was a state secret. She told him her
self u eli.y or two iiftirwareia. Mr. Weed, with
Ids daimlitir, MUs Harriet Weed, had been in
vited to luncheon at Lord Husscll'n. Alter the
luiuheon lain) Has-ell proponed u walk In the
gaielens and be took Mlss Wied upon his arm,
leaving Mi. Wceel lo csiorl Lady llu-wcll. Tho
oilier guests followid. Mr. Wcid notleed tint
Lady Itusscll vvaa of Ion step and eemed to be
disposed to lag. He presumed that 1ib had wine
puiposei in doing this so that he auommodated
his step to her and .liter u while be with Lady
ltussell win- hit far nelilnd Loul John Huse!t
and Mlu W'rcel that till) wero ablu to talk
wthout helm: oveiheanl. With a quick, half
nervous, lalf humorous glance at her husband,
as though incoming the diituueu between her
und him and atlst)ng hrelf that he could not
overhear, Lad) Hi mil aald in a low tone to
Mr. Weed. "I wanted to 1 1.-1 1 ou cvoinethlns for
your own information. The ejuien Is )our
frlenda, don't )ou worr.v. I am sure of it and
she has Just dene a mot blindly act. I want
)ou to let Mr. Lincoln know that he and the
United State have a friend In tho queen and
that it will be no fault of her if any trouble
lueaks out between the I'nlted States and (Ireat

Just then Lord Huwll turned bis icad with
half glncc behind Aim snd saw that Lady

had stopped. Lord Ilewcll aid, "What arp )cni

Instantly, with a prrrcmc. of mind and with
it fiower of lilting which Mr. Weed aid be had
never aeen enellcd, Uely Kuweit replied In
these VTordst "I was Just telling Mr. W'rcel that
we were ataiidlng upon the precise spot where
Henry VIII stood awaiting the report ot hU wife,
Annie Hole)n."

At luncheon, lain In the da), Mi. W'tcd had
an opportunty to meet Lord I'almerston'a sister-in-law
and to have brief conversation with her,
she begin It abruptly. "Did )ou write Mr.
Seward," nhe asked, and Mr. Wen! tcplled, "In,
atantly, and the Utter Is now upon H way."
"I am very glad of that," ivhe rrplleel, "and
I hope that Mr. Seward will be prcpircd to act
upon )our miggestlon," and then nhe added In
a lighter xclti with some hint of inUlilit in her
manner!
"I suppose, Mr. Weed, that on would like
to know how I waa uble to find out within on
lis.nr after the queen had seen and altcied the
dispatch exactly what she bad done, t will
tell )ou, but you must promise lo keep this u
aeciet, although ou can tell Mr. Sevv.inl and

alter we had finished luncheon, Lrd I'almerston
came Into the loom an J hu threw- his dispatch,

that he was In bad temper. Ho exchanged hard

that I vvaa certain that the queen hid been doing
something with dispatches which did not please

suggestion and there first of all Ihe ellspatcheJ.

nu looking it over wo saw the interlineation and
the changes, and we fccogiilml the Prince Con
sort's handwriting. We know that this had been
done i.pon the ad.'lci-, or tit least with the ap
proval of the queen, and it only took u glance
to show- us that the queen was elctcrmlrcd to bo
friendly with the I'nlted Stales, nnd tli.it she
bad opposed her ministry 1.1 this matter. 1 saw
that there was time to catch the mail for Un

"And I have no doubt that they will do Hut
