historic Institution, sheltered amid the
beautiful hills m Su.fuehatina lounly,
Is dear to the citizen of Not thenhtern
Pennsylvanln. It Is a hiMorlc epot
made a pan of tlie rlassle ici-omW of
the state by reason of Its brilliant
paces In the annals of educational pio
Slew In Anieilca. No one doubts the
truly conscientious motives of the com
mission In recommending the abandon
ment of this site and the consolidation
of the schools with others far iemocd.
The commission has been most nobly
managed and no scamhO or hint of ex
travagance has touched It finrp Its first
organization twelve yen is iiro, but It Is
to be hoped that the pioposed inten
tion, so radical and so Intensely repug
nant to a large portion of tlie tesl
dents of this commonwealth, will be
acted upon u:th extreme dellbeiatlon.

advantages of surh excellent food that
It seems unteasonable to expect that
a similar state of affalis can pxlst
where the consolidation Is pioposed.
Economy and many another vittue are
practiced In that tjulet haven. The
management has i cached a perfection
hard to be realized except by those
who hae visited thP Harfoid school,
and the interest of a multitude of In
fluential friends In this region has long
been enlisted in Its behalf. It will be
against the Intense piotest of a vast
number of people throughout the state

Herlt Rewarded.
TIIKRK l-AN mz no doubt that
Lord Uoberts deserves the
$rp00.n10 money token just
voted to him by parliament.
When he went to South Africa the
situation of the Hiltish troops was
not only precarious, It was alaimlng.
England was expeilenclng her tlaik
sst hour. Hobs" took up the tangle;!
thieads, and almost from that moment
the mercuiy of British hopefulness
rose.
We are learning now some of the
difficulties he had to contend against.
In every direction supplies were de
ficient and the staff arrangements ut
terly Inadequate to the long dis
tances and barren veldt of the the
itre of action. Yet with sine general
ship Lord Hoberts effected the relief
of Klmpeiley and Ladysmlth and the
capture of I'tnnje and the occupation of
Blfinmfonteln and Pretoria followed al
most with machine-like rapidity and
precision. His stiategy lose to the sum
mits of military genius and his grasp
upon alt; the. problems involved In his
txtraord.lhary tajik was true and strona.
There has been no greater figure
In British military hlstoiy than
.his kindly-faced, little old man, who
iterally. saved the empire by his, con.
ummatiiknowiedge of Just what to do
at a time when failure to know or hes
itancy in acting would have meant
llMMer incalculable.
The record of his achievements Is
in Inspiring one. not to be eclipsed by
the general belief that the cause In
which those achievements were per
formed iTas in It elements of Injustice.

Troublesome Questions.
TIB KKMAKKS of the chair-
man of the convention of
& Ohio Democrats who met In
"' Columbus this week to ex
prem their dissatisfaction with the ac
tion of the regular Ohio Democratic
convention In tossing Bryan and free
liver overboard are both Interesting
ind significant. Among other things he

Bryan has led iw to defeat twice, and
now we mutt gpt somebody el who
can bring us victory. The champions
of thp gold standard are dprldlng fliy
an, denouncing the principles for which
he stood, and nie paving the way to
secure control of the next national con
vention, in oider to nomlnntp some
man who will be the tool and servant
of Wnll stteet. Will the bolters be
able to ;onttol thp convention? If
they should, and It now seems qultp
certain that they will, the work that
was done In ISM will have to b- dono
over ngaln. if It should bo. Ihe Drmo
cratlu patty, ns such, theronltpr, will
cease to be n factor In American poll
tics, Shall wp assist them In this
work? If the IiPinociatic party was
right In lf?fi and 100(1 upon thp money
question, and that question Is not set
tled, then why should that patty In
Ohio abandon It In 1001? If the conten
tion was right duiing those cam
paigns, It is tight now. If politics li
to be carried on for the purpose uf
securing office alone, then why bother
about great pilnclples that Involve the
well-being of men?"
Thesp nie logical and timely ques
tions. The Democratic orators and
press gave the mneit solemn nssuinuccs
In both U36 and 1000 that the restora
tion of free silver coinage was a mat
ter Involving the highest pilnclplc;
that It was proposed as a remedy for
outrage and Injustice, whereby the shy
locks of the land wpip grinding the
faces of the poor ind tal.mg from thp
common people the birthrights of
Anipilcan citizenship. They cither
meant these assertions or they didn't
mean them. If they meant them, It
would be cowardly In 1001 and In 1004
to compound a gold bug felony or to
desert the poor of the land to their
grinding doom. If they didn't mean
them, what assurance have wp that
they mean what they say now?
Vntli these questions are satisfactor
ily answered, the Democratic party Is
likely to have an unprofitable quest for
office.
The Bryan stampede nt Columbtii
was as devoid of Jarring elements as
the footfall of a man wnlklng In his

An Admirable Appointment.
THK TRIIU'NE, being deeply
intetcstcd In the forestry
question, and also well
awaie of the admirable
work that Miss Mil a Lloyd Dock has
heen doing for years in tills state In
co-operation with the stnte's eminent
forestry commissioner. Dr. J. T. Itoth
rock, is greatly pleased to take notp of
Governor Stone's appointment of Miss
Dock on the state foiestiy reservation
commission. She takes the place of
Mr. Albert Lewis, who leccntly re
signed. The other mcinbeis of the
respiration commission aie Dr. Itoth
rock, its official head; Isaac Brown,
secietaiy; John Fulton and A. C. Hop
kins. Miss Dock, it Is to be recalled, has
made profound and piactlcal study of
the subject of foicstry, both In the
t'nlted States and in Germany, which
count ty leads the world In the conser
vation, protection and wise economic
use of forests. As a lectin er on her
chosen subject she Is well known
Scranton people being among those
who have learned to appieciate her
enthusiasm, her knowledge and ability
to impart It.
Her appointment s one lo be wel
comed as fresh evidence of Governor
Stone's deep Inlet pM In the forestry
woik and as a tribute to both Miss
Dock's own woik and a recognition of
the heli) which the women of Penn
vanla have given to the foiestry move
ment. The appointment Is the more
welcome because theie is no shadow
of politics In It It has been won purely
by proed fitness for the place.
In connection with this, while speak
ing of the general advance of appreci
ation of the Immeasurable Importance
of forest conservation, icstoring, and
use, we am glad to give especial notlep
to thp amendment of thp act of June
1, 1S87, which act made piovlslon
for annual payments to ownprs of land
that had been cleared nf merchantable
timber who should reforest It "within
one year after the said land had been
so cleaied" and maintain it, under cer
tain sppciiled conditions. The amend
ment extends the provision for such
payments fiom "one year ' after to "at
any period" after. The text of the
amendment leads:
"The owner or owneis of forest or
timber land in this commonwealth,
which has been cleaied of merchant
able timber, who shall at any period
after the Hald land has been so cleared,
plant, and who shall maintain upon the
said land young foiest or timber tiees
In sound condition, In number at least
twelve bundled to the acic, shall on
making due proof thetcof, bo entitled
to receive annually fiom the commis
sioners ;of their respective counties
the sums of money mentioned in the.
first section of this act: Provided,
That the tlrst period of ten years shall
be counted from the time that said
land has been cleaied of merchantable)
timber, and that after the said Hist
period of ten yeais the number of
trees upon the said land may be 10
duced' as In the tlrst section Is pro
vided." . There stand also to thp ctedlt of tho
last leglslatuie's forestry woik the
act, approved on April 11, "to encour
age the preservation of forests by pro
viding for a lebato of certain tuxes
levied thereon"; and the one, nppioved
May 'J, for the better protection of for
ests against fire by which tho commis
sioner of forestry, on complaint mado
of the failure or neglect of county com
missioners to fulfill their duty In tho
matter, Is authorized to take all neces
sary legal steps, employing detectives
and attorneys, for tho conviction of
those guilty, "wilfully or otherwise,"
of causing tho burning mf timber
lands. In such case the state will not
pay to the county tho money that Is
due for tho payment of ofllccrs who
have neglected their duty.
The long silence of "Coin" Harvey
may be an Indication that he Is en
gaged In figuring out a new calamity.
"HUtorlan" Maclay's place In history
may also be detlnltely determined by
the Schley lnrcstlgatlon. '
i
Th Travails of Reform
-JJ"V OH YEARS past a certain
I element In the Democracy
JL of Pennsylvania, which has
been In suspicious affiliation
with thp ltcpttbllcati Insutgeuts, has
been sounding the accusation that the
men In control of the Democratic) or
ganization In Philadelphia weie In
conspiracy with the men who run the
llopuhllcan machine. The rpr.ult has
been that the Democtatlc strength In
Philadelphia was divided and an a
minority party It offctcd no check
upon the ambitions of thp leaden of
the majority. During this period of
family qunirellng, the one man whom
all Democrats profpsspd to honor ns
tho embodiment of all that Is honor
able, progressive and virtuous was
Hubert Emory Pattlson.
Heccntly tho chairman of the Demo
cratic city committee of Philadelphia,
at whom most of this criticism was
directed, stepped down and in the In
terest of harmony proposed that Mr.
Pattlson be elected chairman In his
stead. The suggpstlon was piomptly
acted upon, but Instead of stilling the
family dissensions, It seems to have
had Just the opposite effect. Not only
aro the Insurgent Democrats taking
dally falls out of this former Idol of
reform, but "They have recently been
lelnforccd by the whole outfit of the
Insurgent Ilppubllcaiis. In vain has
Mr. Pattlson pleaded for peace. The
more he pleads the fiercer Is the
brandishing of tomahawks nbout his
unprotected head.
Why Is this thus? Are the profes
sional roformers of Philadelphia, the
John Wanamakeis and Judge Gordons
who wish to reconstruct both political
parties to their way of thinking. Jeal
ous nf thp great leform govprnor of
ISSa-O and 1R00-1? Is their devotion
to thp cause of so-called bettpr go
ernment simply limited by the pros
pect of personal proprietorship? Do
they fear that they could not manipu
late a man like Pattlson to their
schemes of personal or factional re
venge? Must no leformer show his
head who does not wear their Inbel
and disport the sign-manual of their
control? Must every reputation ex
pect bombardment from the Journal
istic batteries under their thumbs
that declines to submit to their terms
or refuses to cringe the knee of sup
pllanco before the throne which they
seek to set up?
These leformcrs! these reformers!
Verily they aie a sciumptlous lot.
