Wll IIOPI: to see the 1 evolu tion uhlth Mi. Chitten den ltitiodULCd Into se lect council on Tluusday night last, piovldlliK foi a geological museum In Nay Aug pink passed unan imously, and that It wilt iciehe the rhdoisoment of the common louiu II and the apyiiowil of the teioidei. The ap pmpilatiou need not be ety huge foi a suitable but modest stiuituie, lor this among other siientillc puiposes. Mt. Chittenden, it imiv be pointed out, does not nhlc for 11 spiH-lal ttueture. All ho suggests is that in the next building to be elected in the paik a mom shall be set apuit for the museum. Vp think boweer, that the city meds a .small building, say of two stotles, in which wo could not only liae 11 geological museum, but 100m for housing 01 dis playing such anthiultle.s and sclentlllc objects and uulosliles as may be col lected In M-kiiunnim county m ob tained by gift 01 pin chase limit thoso who pos.-ess them now or may heie nfter ucqulie tliein. W'u me sine, that It the accommodation was pioWdcd, iheie ate iimny petsons In Koaiitun nnil Its nelglibothnod who would In a shott titup plate at the disposal of the cm atop nf such an institution a sul'- llclelitly raie and dheislilcd collection nf not meiely geological specimens, but objects of nntuial nihility or icllcs of lilsturlc.il association in bo of gieat In tetetlttnd pilucniltinal value. After n nuptiitm suth as we hue In lew is established, It takes very Utile to inalu tuiiv It. Cleologlcal specimens need rtevfi' be teplaced, and onco they ate ldcntllled, labeled and assotted they take cam nt theinsiefi, Tills may lie filler, too, nf most objec ts of mutual his. tory( and of hlRtmli.il teller-. Collect them In a suitable building and they trmiilu foi geneiatlons to tome a te.sll. inony to the pnllghtened ptovldente of tho-jo who hi ought them together, Cleologlcally consldeied, Kackawannti county Is not blgnally dlvetslfled, Its geological fcttatlllcatlon belongs pte eiiilnontly to thecatboiilfeious peilotl. It Is at once the eouico of our wealth and of phjslosiaphlo Interest. The stiatl fleajlon of the coat nieasuies, although coiifposed of vegetable matter, aie pi actually destitute of animal life, and the folder jocks upon which the coul beds lie nie wholly so. Nevet theless the geological foiiuatiou of the Lacka wanna alley Is of sut passing lnteiest to tjiose who have even a passing nc. qualntance with Its sclentlllo foi illa tion, The coal ineasutes do not ex haust It. If we look at the matter finm a utilitarian standpoint, suillclent build ing stone, of a llrst-elass rjuallt y can te taken fiom a cleatlui; heie or theie from the West inounlitltis to have finished the Tower of tliiuel without tlelvlng deeper thnn a few feet. With out expecting too much of u nut'eum or ntttnt'tliig loo inticli Importance to Its educational value, yet we think tlint for it city which depends hugely for lis Indlisttlal ptopeilty upon Its mlnei illogical icsoiiktb to he without a mote or les pietcntlous lollecllott of lite 01 es and tnlnvtats nhil the rocks which foi in the basis of the geological lontotir of Its riivlioiiH Is Inexcusable. Of coin -e the state geological sttivey has thot (Highly oxploted the hacltu wntinii as well as the other vallejs of Not theastci 11 Pciitisj Ivnnlii, and the re sult of Its Iint'stlgntlons ate cnslly ac cessible. Dttt that Is not nil that is needed In nur itge in which so much depends on the piacllcal application of scientific dNcowules In thu piogtes of lndusti. I'liKt ami foiemost, every one should know and nioie or less def initely and iicciiiittely nppti'hend the (olistlltltlou of the crust oftheeaith upon which he tin ends and which banks his fortunes and those of his lemotest posletlty. It Is not dlmeitlt to do that with such aid as it smalt museum uf fottls. Kveiy school hoy nnd gill should be taught the t udlnients of geology. Not only Is It one of the most Inlet etlng of all scientific studies, but it Is the most easily assimilated, Theie is not u pebble on the highway which has not a. hlsloty of tianscendent lnteiest. The mining englneei.s anil geological expel ts who nic connected with the mines would gladly co-opciate, we nte sine, In making such a museum as Mr. Chittenden has in view a tenter of popular and enlightened attiactlon In the p.uk. The assignment of General Clobln to command the btlg.ide having he.ttl quuttcis In this county will be wel comed coidinlly. lie is a tlioiough oldler, of llpe expel lence, sound judg ment and pcisoniil familial Hy with local conditions Ills tommond Is an assuiance that the excellent discipline maintained by th Thliteenth lcslmcnt under Colonel Wntie.s will pievall thioughout the btlg.ide and that what the soldlets aie c omnianded to do wilt be done as oideted. It Is also a gu. nan tee that no command will be given which should not be given. The con tiol of the milit-iiy pioblem could not be in bettet hands. The Issue in a Nutshell. IX A SPi:r.CII liefoie the conven tion ot the Republicans ol the Twontv-thlid Xew Yoik const ess distilct, placing in .nomination Hon. Geoi go X.

Hallatd, of Scheiuc tady, a .liequent contilbutot to these tnlumno, stated foulbly and condselj the pin amount issue now befoie the voteis-. Ills statement of it Is jut as applicable to Xoitbeastein Pennsjlv.i nia as to centtal Xew Yoilc. Ml.

The most piessing: need of today in the continua tion 01 oui piesent piospeilly, and it K oul to the Republican p.nty that the cnuntiy can look for such polities and methods ot ndmlnlstiation as v, ill in suie a continuation of that piospeilty. "Menatoi Cialllngei souiuled the key note for this camiiaign when he said on the floor of the senate. 'Piospeilty is the issue all othei questions aie sec ondai.v.' The vital question befoie us today Is not what oui opponents, may think of out ai my, oui navy or our Washington adminlstiatlon, but how can we keep our factoiles busy, our weekl.v pav lolls he.ny and oui wives nnd families contempt! and happy. Theie Is one way to effect all these most desluble objttts and that is to piotett oui pinteetlve tariff. Under that tnilft has aiisen oui piesent pios peilty, and with that tailff will that piospeilty stand or jail. It Is not vital whether we have too much duty in one place or too little in another, but the vital point Is what Is the genei.tl ie bitlt ot the Republican piotcctlve taillt as a whole.' That usult I nsseit to he the condition ot uffalis today, by which nn.v man who wants to woik can llnd woik untl diaw his iay for lull Umc eveiy Filtluy nlglit with unfailing legti lailty. "Was that the condition of nffaiis dining the eais 1S!U to KPC, when wo weie allllcted with that malignant dis ease known as Domooiaej, or the con dition of nllalis on the day when the DIngley tat Iff was adopted, July ii, 1S07, nnil wo tluew off our habiliments of 1 annuel dill ami Industilal woe at the ti limpet call of William McKlnlov ? Was that tho condition of nii'iilis dur ing the eius when Giover Cleveland vas selling goveinmcnt bonds at le ditced pi Ices to pay the government's dally bills'.' Xo, gentlemen, no, Then we weie living ftoni hand to mouth and did not know 0110 day what would hap pen the next. Now we know that If tho lailif Is jueseived and the Republican putty continues in conliol of our Ur iahs, national, state and municipal, each Monthly inoinlng will give us an nppot tunlty to lesumo woik and each I'llday night will give us our weekly Iy. "I lonld quote jou miles of statistics. to ptovo along iudustilal lines that under Republican policies and coutiol our country has, n the lust (He jeuis, done millions upon miliums mote bus. ness, paid out millions upon millions moie wages and iniide millions upon millions mote homes happy ami given millions 111010 chlldien a better pallia tion tliun was ever accomplished In tho aggtegate e.ns dining which our af fails have been under Uepiocintlc ion tin), Just let UK.' quote one Item, W , that the total piodiuH of our taitoiles dining the llscal ear that has Just ilosed was over 13,000 millions of gold dollais, Xot the Kansas City platlotm kind of dollais, but leal dollais vvoith their face the wide woild over, "Rut they tell m ou ate tobblng the pcoplo under this ptolectlve ttnitf in that )ou ate selling goods abroad chcupei than jou do ut home. Gentle men, that chin go Is made, We answer to the chaige and face the July, but what docs the chaige amount to? it amounts to piactlcally nothing, because of the 113.000,000,000 w orth of goods w e could only ppnlo for sate nbtond $ 100, 000,(100, and sold at lowei prices for vntlotis good reasons loss than $1,000, 000. We mo guilty, Willi extentintlng clrctitnslnnre", to tho extent ot less than otip-thlttloth ot one per rent, of our total tiiaiitifiicttlie. I have sultl that our ptosperlty Is contingent upon the pip.seivntlon of our tat Iff. How shall wc preset vc that tntlrtV Theie Is line way to do It nnd only one way and that Is to m event the Democrats get ting 1 untl ot ot the house of teptesen tatlves. TIip only way to pi event that calamity Is to elect Republican con gressmen." When Mayor Mnyhtny'.s convention of ina.vms finds tho key to the strike dead lock It pliould give a signal.

ARRIVAL, of aelieial liontli on 11 tour ot Inspection which will cover In travel ing thlity thousand miles ami Include most of the ptlnclpnl cities of tlie cnuntiy Is .suillclent testimony to the magnificent phj steal vitality of the roundel and chief of the Salvation Aimy. denei ul Rooth is an old man with the suppleness of vouth in his methods and the Juvenility of ot an apostle In his heal t. It Is a sine sign of a shallow mind to suppose tlint the Influence nf this ectinoidlniny man Is deilved fiom a pontifical absoluteness, n wot Idly discipline, an uutneiatlc sur veillance which peimtts no coadjutor within the sphete of his ppisomil om nipotent p.

The K.ilvntlon Annv Is not 11 theological ng gipgatlon It has no distinctive theo logj ; no littuglcal foimulatles; no speeille canons of oiganlatlon or dis cipline. It tails Itself an army, but It Is not that, nor has it In its methods much nihility to otdlnaiy nillltaiy mechanism. The policy of ihe Salvation Anny Is n splilt of solldinlty In the peifoininnce of a most beneficial social function among the lowest and niot depiaved of mankind, as well as extending the hand of bi othet hood to those whose only it 1 eti lovable fault is their casual or peunanent mlsfoitune. The street pleaching, the congiegatlonal piaer and eivice meeting nnd their b.iib.uic musical accompaniments would not have developed the Salvation At my to its piesent dimensions and scatteted its missionailes all over the globe did It depend mainly or even hugely upon these otdlnaiy accrssoiles and funda mentals of leliglous society. The sttengtli. the Influent e, the beneficence of the Salvation Ai my lies In Its 111a teil.il helpfulness to the "ulutieiged classes, to use Genet. il Rooth's own language.

If any lollance is to be placed In Mnd lld dispatches, the nung king of Spain has succeeded in chiving ills mother fiom the toint and Is now looking about him for some new oppoi tunlty to elem onsliate his unfitness for public lespect. The official 01 gnu of the Knights of Labor is nftoi Mi. Paulson's scalp with a vengeance. It accuses him of having made b"foie election in 1S00 ptomlses to oiganled labor which after election he dellbeiately ignoted. Mr. Riyan's tatdlness In suggesting a way out of the coal stilke difficulty may bo an Indication that he has lost ambition to shape public opinion, When Keillor Ileal st gets Into con gips.s he will piobably advocate tho government owneishlp of evei) thing tave tho elIow nevvspnpei.
