Younir -Mou'st Clulslliin Asso ciation nnionir the iallio.nl men of this city has long- hoen a leeog nlzed porter for good by the puic tlcal ipsults nccoinpllHlipel. Fif teen or twenty yeaM ago the ralhond man was to the l.'ast what the cowboy Vwis to the West, :i haul drinking, leekless fellow geneially. lint owing to the higher stamlaid deniand ed by r.illroad ofllelals anil the efl'oits of the Young lien's Christian Associa tion the conditions hae entirely i h.iugeu. Today the hind dilnklng r.illioad man is the exception, and while this condition has been In ought about geneially In the H.ist the asso ciation heie In scranton has done won deis as its shaie In the geher.il lesult, It has neailv a thousand r.illioad men cm oiled in its membership. Xe.nly eveiy man of the thousands employed bv the Dclnuaie, l.aclcawanna and Western ulhii.td eveiy week comes in contact with the woik at the building. The building consists of four cheerless looms and two bath looms. The men make these looms their he.tdqu.n teis, with the jesult that they sue almost compelled to climb over each other to move about. Despite tills poor equip ment :i gie.U educational and spiritual woik has been done. And now it Is piopospd to move forum d and demand u new and commodious building and the public will be asked to do its Mime. The Delaw.ue, I.aekaw.inna and Western Itallioad company has always p.iid the s.ihules ol the secietailes nnd furnished the builc.Ing at " lack.i w.iuna avenue, which was loimeily a Hi e engine house and stable, in addi tion to this the loinpany now donates 510,000 besides giving the pieseiU site. A $30,000 building will be elected. This Is exceedingly geneious on the com pany's part when It is considered that It Is doing similar woik all along its lines. The company gave $10,00(1 to ward the old Y. 31. (J. A. building on Wyoming avenue which was binned a Jew yeais ago It was inner a good In vestment for the company or the men, as the building was loo inr away Mom laihoad heailiiuai ters, and this with other clicumstances made woik for laihoad men imposslble.so that the sole benellelai'ies of the company's gen eioslty weie the young men of Sci un ion geneially. The public will be asked to conti Unite about Slfi.OOO, the cam ass tor which Is now being made. Xo class appeals nun e stiongl.v to public sympathy than the haidy ralhoad men whose dully toll bilngs to them all Muds of hard-t-hlps as they navel the noun bound highway of steel; and the uittle of the ambulance down the avenue eveiy clay tells only too vividly of the hot l ens that suuoiind their woik. Fifteen thousand doll. us Is a small Invest ment lor the public to make, lor the i etui us 1 1 mil this build ing will be a thousand fold In the added secuiity and safety to those who i Ide over the mud, it will help to make the men better. It will alfotd them comfort mid leereatlon, all of which ale so necessary utter the tense slialu of their daily nips. It will afford every uillioad man a c-hancu to pel feet himself In ralhoad lug, as It has become absolutely necessary for public safety that the model n railroad man be an Intelligent, studious!, steady man. The new building will help to nmktt him all of this. To the ti.ivellng ptiblio this means a steady hand at the tluottle, a clear eye and an Intelligent Inula behind It all, And peuueutliUJall, thjs Is thq lollglous ef fort tu.Uufe constantly lifting the men Into better unci nimo comfoi table lives.

Bus$iu blip, The situation In New Yoilc is worth Htudnijrbecuustt it lllust rates cm a lu'B$;jscale the essentltil absnidlty of the ujttempt tq conduct city government In this coliutry un a non-pat Hkiui or fusion hauls. We think It will hu ad mitted that In point of personal ihauio ,ter, trained ability und bietulth or view Mr. iiovr nieiisures dp very close to the ideal chief executive of a municipality. No important fault Is to be found, therefore, with the man who lepiesents the fusion movement In our chief city. Iu Qfar us he hut) had fieu choice the men linltnl by him to shine the te stiouRlblllllest of conducting government In New Ytil us It should bo conducted arc; equally ei editable. Thelv liverage of ability, ihuriU'tcr und exiieilence Is very much higher than h-is uiiiitmmly been tine. Wo have no doubt that liicfo men tile trying to the full extent or their ability to do their duty Willi absolute honesty and lldetlty to the best Interests of the city as tlu'j tee ilium. Now, what Is the tomtit? Hefoie Mr. how hud been In olllco three weeks n leading minister of the gospel, who poses us uu especially commissioned piuphcl of 1 1ghteousness, the Jlev. Dr. Parkhurst, came out In an open letter, virtually ehtirBlng .Mr. Low with con tempt of his ollkial oath In not cen ttallzlng alt the energies of the police department In u ciusatle against Sun day liquor selling. This has been fol lowed up by other complaints fmin other sources until today them Is hardly ti bond In common among the heteto goncous coiiglomeiallon of political de ments which fonned the hacking of the fusion ticket itt the lccent election. Mr. Low was not elected as, a Republican and he bus, thuiefore, no right to ex pect the support of the Jtepiibllean or ganization fiiither tlmti what Is due to any ofllce-holder fmin citizens ululer his Jutlsdletlon; yet It Is nil liilemst Ing fact that the most uncomplaining and unselfish suppoi t that he has re ceived from any quailtr has come from this very oigaiilztttlon, -which Mr. Low al one lime and most, of his Citizen I'tilou lolloweis at all times accused of all that was vicious and cortupt. If an election for mayor of New Yoik weie to be held today, do jou suppose that the opposition to Tammany would stand the ghost of a show of defeating that compact oiganlzatlon? Not a bit of It. The period of coheieiice among the elements which foimed the lecently successful opposition l.as gone bj. Jt takes nothing short of l evolution to ef fect such toheience and then it lasts only for a day. Thai Is the lundamen tul drawback to schemes or political it geneintlon which omit to piovlde per manent oig.tnlzatlons to cany them thiough. Hudyaid Kipling's lecent c iltlclsms of American inelhods of leconstiuetlng the I'hlllpplne.s have failed to excite anything mom than tin Indulgent smile. People of this country bine long since ceased to legaid Kipling sae in the light of ;t spoiled boy, whose limited genius has been hugely omu shadowed by his abnormal conceit. Funston in a New Role. Y A SPi:i:ciI wholly im piomptu betoie the Lotos club of New Ycnk on Satin - day night last, Utigudier Cleneial Funston, the Kansas whlil wlud, disclosed .a new phase of his many-sided thui.iiter. t was a capital speech, lIo.ii , clean-cut, witty at times, at other times eloquent, and at all times dliectly to the point. A c oinplete steuo glaphlc icpoit of it appealed In the New Yoik Kim of esteiday; and those who wish to be set stuiight its to occur i ences iu the Phllppincs ought to get the speech nnd lead It camfully noin beginning to end.

Testimony of this kind outweighs a lot of mushy sentimentality of the kind that always takes a position contimy to that of the government. As we said in the beginning, Ftinston's speech should be mad in Its entirety by all who desire to be wcli-lnfoi tiled on this sub ject: The Washington Star says that "It is disheartening to note that senators am caieless about anlvlng at the capltol in time for the chaplain's prayer."
