FREELAND, PA., MARCH 9, 1890.
l*ere Jacques Marquette.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Of all the manifestations of intolerant
ignorance the most astounding is that
directed against the statue of Marquette,
most fittingly placed in the gallery of
sculpture at the capital as one of the
contributions of Wisconsin. Marquette
is one of the most distinguished and one
of the most admirable figures in the his
tory of tiie northwest. He was one of
that extraordinary group of learned and
devoted Jesuit missionaries, the story of
whose early exploits in Canada and
along the Great Lakes is among the
most stirring chapters in any history,
and if it were only as an explorer and
geographer, the man who first made
known the course of the great Mississip
pi would be entitled to a place iu any
gallery of American heroes.
That the methods of the French mis
sionaries in dealing with the Indians were
different from the more summary meth
ods of our British and American pioneers
is hardly to their discredit, whatever use
the military authority on either side may
afterwards have made of their Indian
allies. Marquette's offense appears to be
that lie wore a cassock instead of a
hunting shirt, and carried only tho
weapons of peace.
The rivalries of Christian nations in
time obliterated most of tho teaching of
Marquette and his companions, but they
left an impression along the shores of the
Great Lakes and cannot be overlooked
in any consideration of tho development
of that region, and Wisconsin does rightly
to honor tho memory of this noble-heart
ed pioneer.
That he is commemorated in his habit
as he lived can be an offense only to
narrow minds, such as occasionally find
their way into congress. The objection
to an ecclesiastical demonstration over
the statue is not unreasonable, but Mar
quette represents an epoch in tho history
of the continent so important that with
out his figure the national gallery
would be incomplete.
Something About "Live Quentions."
The TRIBUNE is pleased to note that
tho series of "Live Questions" now
running in these columns is appreciated
by a large number of our readers. We
thought tho publication of tho views of
noted men in tho various reform move
ments would prove interesting, and often
entertaining. So far, we are suro, those
of our subscribers who wish to keep
abreast of the times aro fully satisfied
that the series is all wo claimed for it.
It must not bo supposed that tho TRI
BUNE endorses every one and all of the
different remedies which the writers
propose. This would bean impossibility,
because there are many which conflict
with one anothor.
Out of tho various letters, however,
which have been and will be published,
thero should be something that will com
mend itself to each reader of the series,
and If the whole will awaken and stimu
late an interest in the betterment of
national and individual life the mission
of "Live Questions" will be accomplished.
In this series are represented all
classes of people as well as all sorts of
opinions. The judiciary, tho colleges,
government bureaus, the upper and the
lower walks of life, etc., all contribute
their ideas upon subjects of vital interest
to the mass of workers whom they would
like to see uplifted.
They are all aiming at the one end,
and the several propositions are only so
many routes to reach the goal. Which
is the best, tho quickest, the surest, and
the one by which the greatest good to
the greater number will be accomplished
can be learned only by a full and free
discussion of the reforms as they are
proposed.
Many of the coming contributions will
be illustrated with portraits of tho
authors.
The Patriotism of the Period.
Elsewhere on this page will be found
an entertaining articlo from the pen of
Judge White, in which tho author
touches up in a very happy manner tho
bogus patriotism of the present day. Tho
keen sarcasm of the production will
doubtless commend itself to tho average
reader who does his own thinking and
who pins his faith to no man's sleeve.
Judge White appearently belongs to
that class of vigorous thinkers, like
Carlylo and Horace Greeley, who persist
in calling a spade a spade rather than
an oblong garden implement.
The public noeds more such writers—
men who will tell tho reader what he
ought to know rather than what he
wishes to hear—men who strike straight
from the shoulder, yet never hit below
tho belt.

Column* by Advanced Thinkers.
NUMBER VIII.—A VIEW OF PATRIOT
ISM.
There is sncli abig.e in the use of
terms, such n covering up of ugly reality
with ornamental phrases, so much mas
querading by the vices in the phraseol
ogy of the virtues, that words seem
sometimes to have lost their meaning.
There is tendency to take words out of
their ordinary significance and dress
them up with attractive graces of mean
ing to which they are not properly en
titled. Patriotism is a word peculiarly
susceptible to this sort of abuse. It has
so often been made to perform the office
of words expressivo of other aud higher
.virtues that all the canons of morality
seem sometimes to be summed up in
that word.
It is always receiving credit for noble
deeds which are really due to something
else. How frequently, indeed, has it
been confounded with a love of liberty
—a totally different sentiment. This
confusion i& probably largely due to the
fact that patriotism is so often used as a
cloak for treachery and treason, thus
giving rise to the charaoteriation of Dr.
Johnson that it is "the last refuge of
scoundrels. " When designing politicians
contemplate the perpetration of some
unusual fraud upon the people, they al
ways obscure the horizon with storms of
protestations of their patriotism aud
their piety.
Patriotism has been always classed
too high in the catalogue of virtues. It
filled an office in the infancy of civili
zation which a more perfect develop
ment will render neodless. It was neces
sary in early days, just as armaments
and walled cities were necessary. Chris
tianity, us taught by Christ, did not
recognize it. He presents ideals of char
acter and society which would render
patriotism superfluous aud meaningless.
It will doubtless serve a useful purpose
as long us governments are menaced
with danger of corruption in office and
intrigue against the rights and liberties
of the people, but even now it ofteuer
manifests itself as a vice rather than a
virtue. In Jonesville patriotism means
that tho town must be boomed, aud as
a means to that end the rival town,
Brownsville, must be demolished. "If
our town cannot have the courthouse, or
the asylum for the insane, or the new
railroad, at least the other town shall
not have thorn."
The reader will probably object to
this as presenting too narrow a defini
tion. For true examples of patriotic
feeliug and action you would refer to
national heroes and history makers, to
deeds of heroism inspired in times of
national crises. But hero arises the con
fusion of terms. Tho sentiment which
inspired the men of 177G was not pa
triotism. Every patriotic impulse fas
tened them to their mother country. The
makers of tho historic declaration were
moved by the love of liberty, which
knows no territorial bounds. Patriotism
Is conservative. It leads one to defend
one's country as it is and sustains in
stitutions as they exist. It does not
preside ut the founding of nations. As
worthy as was tho devotion to national
integrity which led tho heroes of 1801,
thero was something else worthier—it
was tho love of humanity and equal
freedom, indignant hatred of human
slavery.
For examples of pure patriotism, un
mixed with other influences, yon will
have to go back to the models frozen into
the permanent crystal of classic fuble.
The stories of Winkelried and Regulus
show just what the thing really is iu
its primal purity. Schoolboys kuow
how it stirs tho blood to recite how
Regulus suffered cruel tortures rather
than advise his countrymen to make
peace aguinst their interests. "Regulus
to the Carthageniaus" is the standing
prize declamation. The story of Regulus
is the soul stirring, dovotion kindling
example of patriotic virtue and horo
ism. Yet I think the story has nover
been analyzed with a view of applying
it to present conditions.
The inoident is the natural outgrowth
of the rivalry between two growing,
enterprising towns, each one attempting
to outboom the other. Regulus had two
purposes in his expedition against Car
thage—one was to give nn impetus to
the real estate market in Rome, by kill
ing off the pretensions of a rival town;
the other was to depress priceß in Car
thage and get a corner in the best lots,
while they were down, and then receive
the benefit of the subsequent reaction.
He was "bulling" tho market at home
and "bearing" the market at Carthage.
For a time his enterprise went well.
The Carthageuians were a simple, gulli
ble people and he played their inexperi
ence with great success. After awhile,
however, a Greek dealer named Zanthip
pus appeared "on change." Zanthippus
had been in the business before, aud he
was "on to" the Roman game. Ho
caught Regulus "short" and left him
"dead broke." Regulus, however, had
abundanco of that quality which in the
pit is called "sand." The people of
Carthago made a most liberal proposi
tion, offered to set him up in business
again, if he would arrange matters be
tween Rome and Carthage so that they
could have a courthouse in each town.
But Regulus refused the offer uud suf
fered his fortune to collapse and his life
to go out rather than advise his friends
against their interests.
Whnt was it Regulus advised his coun
trymen, for which they over afterward
honored him? It was not the cultivation
of the arts of peace, nor the defense of
their homes aguinst invaders, nor the
building of noble institutions which
would happy and prosperous their
posterity. No, bfl advised aggressive
war, the cruel, relentless distraction of
Carthage and the enslavement of its
people. The same patriotic sentiment
which, in that military age, lod men to
fight in dofeuse of their conutry also led
them to bloody conquests. The national
glory was the end in either case. It was
not more honorable to die in the breach
repelling an invasion than to return
from foreign oonqnest and enjoy a tri
umph graced with a procession of oap
tive slaves. The exploits of conquering
Scipiowere as dear to tho national heart
as the heroism of Horatius in keeping
the bridge against the Etruscan hosts.
Tliat was the Roman notion of pa
triotism. It is the prevailing notion of
patriotism. The same feeling which to
the Hebrews made all the rest of the
world gentiles, and to the Greeks made
them barbarians, still largely obtains.
It is the feeling which nowadays re
joices at the prospect of a famine in
Bussia, war in Turkey and short crops
in India, on tho supposition that it will
cause a market for our wheat. It makes
ourrcut the theory that our country oan
obtain prosperity as another suffers
disaster; that commerce is warfare. It
hails lockouts in England and silent
factories in Holland us contributing to
our national greatness. It bnilds a wall
around our ports, fearing that we may
trade with other nations and make them
prosperous.
"Who is my neighbor?" was asked of
Christ. Who is your fellow citizen?
The Intercourse between distant peo
ples, which modern invention makes
possible, brings you next door to all the
world. Tho Brazilian planter on the
banks of the Amazon under the vertical
sun hoes the coffee which will by and
by cheer your breakfaßt, and the antip
odal Australian shepherd washes the
fleece which will presently warm your
back. The mntnal interdependence of
all men makes these distant people yonr
neighbors. The mutual moral and intel
lectual obligation fastened upon you
and them makes them your fellow citi
zens ; yon, theirs.
Who will say that his duties ns a cit
izen and a man begin and end with the
boundaries of his own nation? We are
just beginning to realizo tbe interde
pendence of all men, and that onr
country is not blessed in the misfortunes
of other countries. Whatever is right is
economically correct is the proper gen
eralization of the points of convergence
between ethics and political economy.
Charity, it is said, begins at home, but
justice does not end there. Justice
knows no national bounds. Whatever is
right between you and your fellow
townsman is right between you and
your antipodes. It will appear by and
by that, as there is something better
than material prosperity, so there is
something more glorious than national
glory. In breakiug down caßte and dis
tinction of oondition you break down
distinctions of race and nationality.
If this is a broadening of the scope of
patriotism beyond its formor bounds in
to something else which may be called
humanity or justice, it is also a reach
ing out to Christianity as Christ taught
it. He know nothing of mere patriotism
and did not teach so narrow a virtue.
He taught that there was no distinction
of Jew or Greek or Soythian or bond or
free. In the code of ethics which is com
ing there will be no fellow citizen and
alien, no neighbor and foreigner, no
wars or diplomacy, but one universal
brotherhood uud universal peace.
JOHN TURNER WHITE.
Springfield, Mo., January, 1896.
NUMBER IX. —Vox POPCLI.
The old Latin proverb, "The voice of
the people is tho voice of God," is true
just so fur as tho people are right. That
majorities err there can be no doubt,
but republics and democracies have
pledged themselves to abide by the will
of the majority and we hold hard by
this theory, however far we may fall
short of it in practice.
It is of great importance that the will
of the people be known. There are two
theories regarding the functions of a
legislator—viz. Is ho to express his own
best judgment in voting for a bill, or is
he to vote as instructed by his people?
Doubtless ho may do either, as circum
stances may indicate. In any event, he
ought to know tho wishes of the people
he represents and with the exception of
one or two party issues, upon which he
is elected, ho does not know, nor has he
any effoctive way of knowing.
This, among many other facts, shows
how crude oven yet our methods of leg
islation are. Congress could devise a
simple mothod of ascertaining publio
sentiment on every question of impor
tance und at no great expense either.
Let printed question blanks covering
any proposed legislation be sent to every
voter in the country with return frank
envelopes. The answers could be easily
tabulated and the wants of the people
reasonably known. This would cause
widespread discussion and inquiry and
prove to be a great means of education.
It would bring voters into closer con
tact with tho machinery of government,
and awaken much interest in affairs
and greatly increase the sentiment of
patriotism. Sufficient safeguards could
be thrown around this method to pre
vent abuses.
In the same way each state could se
cure the concensus of opinion of any
given legislative proposal. It is to be
hoped that some congressman will ac
cept this meager hint and introduce a
bill embodying its suggestions.
J. W. CAIJIWKXJO.
The respectability of today is the re
spectability of property. There is noth
ing so respeotable as being well off.
The law confirms this. Everything is
on the side of the rich. Justice is too
expensive a thing for the poor man.
Offenses against the person hardly
count for so muoh as those against prop
erty. You may beat your wife within
an inch of her life and get only three
months, but if you steal a rabbit you
mny be "sort" for years. 80, again,
gambling by thousands on 'change is
respectablo enough, but pitch and toss
for halfpence in the streets is low and
must bo dealt with by tbe police.—Ed

MATTERS
—of the—
MOMENT.
Subjects in Which the Citizens of
Freeland and Surroundings
Are Interested at the
Present Time.
Apropos of the coming of spring, the
interest in electric railway extension,
which made itself so conspicuous last
year as to command council's attention,
but which has lain dormant during the
winter, is again revived. It cannot be
said that tho prospects at this date ad
mit of any hope that we may soon see
our large suburbs on the north and cast
sides connected by this moans of travel,
and as the question of extension is in
no official way before the people or their
representatives at present, its apparent
lifelessness makes it a question on which
all thinking citizens are more or less
aroused. Various developments within
the past year have tended to force this
matter before the public In such a sug
gestive manner that it cannot be heed
lessly passed off. It is not alone the
amount of business which Freeland peo
ple have lost on account of this lack of
means of transit, which renders it a
matter of the moment, but the activity
and enterprise, with consequent attrac
tiveness, which might liavo been super
induced by a little more travel in and
out of town.
t t t
An electric railway connecting South
Heberton, Upper Lehigh, Sandy Run,
Ecklcy and Highland would bo of im
measurable advantage to Freeland.
The building of such a road has never
been seriously agitated, although its
feasibility has been talked about several
times. Whenever mentioned, its profit
ableness has been questioned, but its
advantages to this town have never
raised the slightest suspicion. This con
clusion Is arrived at after considering
tho usual facilities which a street rail
way enjoys, in addition to the business
which a road in the localities mentioned
would, by its mere presence, create. It
can be truthfully said that tho holidays
of 1895 were never surpassed for dull
ness in the history of Freeland. People
stayed away from town. Tho strcots
were almost deserted on tho liveliest
days of the year. Fourth of July, La
bor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas
Day—each was as much a holiday to tho
confectionery seller as to the miner. In
short, Freeland may be said to not have,
properly enjoyed a single holiday during
1895. And what is the reason for it?
Lack of attractiveness in the town is a
theory advanced by some, and while it
is deserving of some attention It cannot
be said to be a satisfactory answer to
the question. A better solution of the
difficulty would appear to bo tho ab
sence of a convenient mode of travel.
t t t
Who.would be content to stay In Up
per Lehigh, in Sandy Run, in Ecklcy or
in Highland, on an idle day or a holiday,
if they could get to Frcetand for five
conts? Who would not consider tho rc
liof from the mine or the breaker and
tho commingling with new associates
far proforablo to spending his leisure
days in tho dreary company town with
out variety of life? Or who would not
wish to exerciso his right to patronize
an individual business house in prefer
ence to allowing his earnings to drift
continually Into the coffers of the com
pany store? But who, under present
11 rcuinstanccs, cares for any of these
things, entailing as they do the difficult
physical exertion and the consumption
of hours of time, which can bo spent
more profitably at home. Here, then,
Is the want which an electric railway
must fill, and here, also, is tho manner
Iu which it will benefit Freeland.
t t t
The. Lehigh Traction Company is in a
position to meet this demand, but appar
ently that corporation does not care to
undcrtako the enterprise. It sought
favors from the borough council and ob
tained the right of way through our
principal streets, but allowed its fran
chise to become void through lack of
action. The Traction Company and its
officials have boon loudly berated for
not extending their line farther up Cen
tre street, but in their failure to do this
and their apparent contontment to stay
at their present terminus, they are prov
ing good business sagacity, and are at
the same time giving the citizens of
Freeland an object lesson regarding
their real needs in the way of traveling
facilities. An extension of the road
from the present terminus to a few
squares would not increase the revenue
of tho company to tho extent of a single
fare, while it would add considerable to
its expense account. It would limit tho
capacity of tho street, and would result
in no material advantage to any one.
It will be seen from this, therefore, that
extonsion of this sort is neither desirable
nor profitable. The only extension that
can be inauguarated on a basis admit
ting of good results would be to include
the towns mentioned above. These are
the towns on which Freeland depends
for the bulk of its trade, and these are
tho towns, which, possessing nothing in
themselves but the mere prospect of
being a place to earn a living, depend in
turn on Freeland to supply their various
wants und for their amusements. Wo
should have an electric railway to these
points before the year is out.
