Abuse ef the Legislature.
From the Scranton Sundau WorIA 1
- Representative Farr was asked last
evening as to the truthfulness of the
statements made against the Pennsyl
vania legislature bv Robert Dudln
- -j i
an ex-member of the legislature, at
the Primitive Methodist conference
held recently in this city, and whicl
was printed in the World last Sunday
Mr. Dudley charged the legislature
with being the most corrunt bodv un
der the sun, and that the members
call each other liars and blacklegs
oir. iarr said : "I am serving m
fourth term io the legislature. I hv
witnessed many exciting debates, but
i nave never beard a member of th
legislature call another a liar. ,
blackleg or auy other vile epithet.
n . . . .
runner man this, I never heard
member of the legislature call
other one of these names when the 1
lslature was not io session. In loo
ing back over my career io the Ho
and recalling the many remarka
scenes and heated controvercitw
invamble decorous and gentlema
oenavior toward each other of I
members of the bot'y under the m
trying circumstances of debate
struggle fur and against different
islative measures seems to me
derf'ully strong in its commendat
of that body. Mr. Dudley was a
member of the House in the session
Of '8Vo6. If the body of which
Dudley was a member was guilty
those acts, the legislative sessi
from '91 to aod iocludiog the present
one were a great improvement
that in which Mr. Dudley look
but I bare inquired of persons
were fellow member with Mr.
ley and they say a I do. that
never heard a member of the leg
lure call auother a liar on the fl
the House.
"As regards the immorality o
members of the legislature Mr.
ley's charge is about as found
Ic.s as ins allegations that the
bers call one another liars,

to.
There are 204 members in the House
and 50 in the Senate. I honestly be
lieve that the membership of these
two bodies during the four sessions
of which I have been a member, will
compare most favorably with that of
ny other organization, religious or
otherwise, of that number of men.
What church organization of that
number of persons or any smaller
number is without its black sheep T
It seems popular to abuse and mis
represent the legislature. So com
mon has it become to say unkind
things of the State's lawmakers that
comparatively little attention seems
to be paid to the justice or wisdom of
This superficial consideration of
he doings of the legislature, the false
views that prevail concerning it only
serve to show a feature of weakness
n our government the lack of that
thoughtful consideration of affairs of
state and active citizenship tbat must
prevail to make us truly a govern
ment of the people, by the people
nd for the people."
The Tariff In the Senate.
The tariff bill is up io the Senate
nd is sweeping forward to its pas
sage on a full tide of debate. Sn-
tor Aldrich, who has the measure in
harge, opened the discussion with an
laborate explanation of the measure
aod the amondments to the House
bill recommended by the Committee
on Finance. It was listened to by
the Senate with profound attention,
aod will be read by those who did not
hear it with deep interest. It is un
necebsary to discuss here the details
of the pending measure. It is suffi
cient to say tbat when the bill finally
reaches President McKinley it will
be a measure be can approve of and
which will satisfy a majority of the
people of the United States, for it
will be a measure constructed and
enacted in their interest, and uot in
the interest of foreign manufacturers
and producers. Its effect upon
American industries will he revivify-
ng. Iho vote of 20 yeas, 34 nay
on an attempt to lower rates shows
the temper of the Senate. Ihe bill
will pass.
Already prosperity, as has been
demonstrated in these columus, is ad
vancing at a steady pace, but onca
the tariff bill becomes law and its
operation begins to be felt, prosperity
will become so geueral and pro
nounced that even the most confirm
ed aod vociferous calamity howler
will be silenced.
The decision of the Republicans to
settle their differences as to particu
lar schedules, duties and other fea
tures of the bill outside of the Sen
ate is wise. It will enable them to
present a solid front to the common
enemy. Each of the amendments
proposed and every paragraph which
provokes differences of opinion
among the Republicans will be sub-
milted to a managing committee com
posed of the Republican members of
the Finance Committee and three
other Republican Seuators. From
tbis committee there is to be a right
of appeal to a caucus of all the Re
publican Senators who have agreed to
support the action of the committee,
or, in the case of an appeal, the de
cision of the caucus. Thus it will be
difficult to form combinations with
the opponents of any protective leg
islatiou either for or against auy fea
ture of the bill as it stands or amend
ment thereto. Another very valua
Ll
uio puioi oi mis agreement among
me iepu oucan senators is tbat it
will tend powerfully to shorten de
bate aod to hasten the final vote in
the Senate. Remarkable progress
was made yesterday, and there is do
reason to look for delay.
The first day's consideration of the
measure confirms the view heretofore
expressed by the Inquirer tbat the de
bate will not be along the lines of the
general theories of protection aud
free trade, but will be directed to
particular features, schedules and du
ties. This was shown do less in Sen
ator Vest's remarks than in the ex
planation of Senator Aldrich. Tb
fact is tbat the Democrats are divided
on the geoeral question of protection
vs. free trade. Not all of tbem ac
ccpt lintish free trade; uot all of
them reject American protection
Yesterday two voted out-and out for
the Republican rate, as did two Pop
ulists, oue Silver Republican, while
two Silver Republicans did Dot vote
at all.
That the Democrats are sadly di
vided is shown by the fact that in the
House five Southern Democrats voted
for the Tariff bill as reported bv Mr,
Diugley. Besides this, five Southern
Democratic Senators are avowed pro
tectiouists to the extent at least of
protecting the products of their own
States. A short step forward from
this position weuld laud them in the
Republican camp. These are facts
tbat restrain the ardor of the advo
cates of British free trade in the Seu
ate.
The stock market has begun to re
spond to the improved conditions
aod, altogether, the outlook is better
than it has been for four years.
Pi-nslons for Women School Teachers.
A woman who adopts teaching as
her life work is practically debarred
from marriage under peril of losing
her position. Denied her right to
fulfill her destiny by this unpleasant
alternative, with earnings insufficient
to enable her to accumulate anything
for het future maintenance, what
shall she do in that dismal to-morrow
that must find her aged, peuniles and
childless T Her married sisters have
grown-up sons and daughters "to be
leant on and walked with," but she is
alone and poor. Since the public de
mandi celibacy of its female teach
ers, and uot of its male teachers, and
the former are deprived of the natur
al protectors that insure other women
aud men against neglect io their old
age, the public should make it up to
women teachers io pensions or higher
salaries, higher even than are paid to
meo, iu order that these single wo
men may themselves provide for their
lonely old age. This view is not so
absurd as custom misleads people to
thiok German writers express sur
prise at the numerical disparity be
tween male and female teacher in
American schools, hut note that the
States having a preponderance of
male teachers are not those which
have the most effective educational
system. They cite Arkansas, with
68 5 per cent, of male teachers, as be
ing fsr behind Massachusetts, with
90.91 per cent, of female teachers.
Dr. Schlce accepts as a general truth
tbat "the further the Americao school
system develops the more the female
teachers predominate." President
Wa rren of Boston University re
marks: "If this be true it may quite
possibly have a sociological and ped
agogical significance not yet gener
ally recognized." From "Teachers'
Pensions the Story of a Woman's
Campaign," by Elizabeth A. Alleo,

Tho Rights of a Yonng- Wife.
"Before everything else the young
woman has a right to expect from ber
husband tenderness, sympathy and
faith," says Ruth Ash mo re, writing
in the Ladies' Home Journal of
"What to Expect from a Young
Mao. "But sometimes, iu his eager
ness to make all life fair to her, he
fancies she is a doll, and not a wo
mau. And a doll is a very selfish
toy ; it demands careful treatment all
the time, and it gives nothing but a
preuy appearance in return it is
the foolish wife who expects infalli
bility in her husband. She forgets
tbat there is a difference between the
housewife and the house moth. She
should expect from her husbaud po
nteness at all times and a certain
gentleness that every man, possessing
the real instiuct of a man, gives to a
woman. But she should not expect
i- i. . . .
irnm mm too much, sue has no
right whatever to ask of him permis
eion to live a lazy life herself, aud to
give up all her days and years to vain
auu iuie inougni8. - T w Deo tne
wife can make her husband's home
coming a joy, bis home-staying a
pleasure and a delight, aod his leav
ing home a sorrow, then, aud theu
ooly,can she expect a great deal from
bim."
Endeavor Happenings.
Three young men representing a Co'
lumbus, Ohio, firm have been canvassing
this vicinity for the past few weeks, tak
ing orders for goods and have done a
pretty good business, but those who pur
chased goods from them are now very
sorry, as the goods they sold are not what
they were represented to be. Not only
that but the young men made themselves
very obnoxious before leaving and we
are informed tried to skip their board
bill. This is another Illustration of the
fact that It always pays to patronize a re
liable home dealer instead of placing
coundence in every Tsui, Dick and
Harry that comes along.
