Why, once inside that wardrobe all the
plaster on the room could fall and not

have some chance, for you'd go down
with the wardrobe. See?"
Mr.. Debille was not the only one who
was scared. In the Potomac block the
halls were filed with white robed figures
in an instant. In the Nadeau there
were screams and one lady rushed into
the hall dressed in her nightgown and
commenced to pray. In the Hollen-
beck similar scenes were enacted, and
all over a little temblor which had no
intention OF hurting anyone.
The shocks lasted almost a minute,
the vibration passed from north to south.
There being no seismograph in the city,
no technical description of the shock
can be given. 1t was, however, not
worth being frightened about.
THE SHOCK AT SAN DIEGO.

lent earthquake shock ever experienced

that time, and contrary to the usual ex-
perience, continued nearly minute. L.
was very severe. Buildings swayed SO
much that guests in hotels and private
houses were awakened from the sound
sleep and rushed to the street in their
night clothes. The shock lasted so long
that people had time to descend from
the third and fourth stories, look back
and see the buildings still swaying. A
loud rumbling accompanied the tenn
Dor. No damage was done.

that the great mass of this illiteracy is
herded in the cities. 1t has been one of
the mooted questions of the concentration
of population in cities whether it does not
result in concentrating vice and ignorance.
In these ratios we have a strong corrobor-
alton of that opinion and powerful in
dictment of the social influences which
magnify the cities at the cost of the coun-
try districts.
1t is possible in addition to raise ques-
ton as to influence which school policy
has had in this unfavorable result. If the
effort and expense directed to maintaining
academic. education in the high schools
had been lessened, and the work of en-
hancing the effectiveness and attractive
ness of the common branches had been
correspondingly enlarged, the ratios might
have been different. Whether there is
any foundation for that opinion or not, it
is plain that this indication of illiteracy
should impress on the directors of our
school system that their first and most i'm
portant object is to give the widest and
most thorough efficiency to education in
the common school branches.
Certainly the indication that illiteracy is
growing in Pennsylvania at a rate which
in lifetime would put it in the majority,
is something to set earnest minds in search
of means to reverse the tendency.

A NATURAL CONSEQUENCE,

The engineer of large manufacturing
establishment in Philadelphia complains
that the Fire Department of that city is
less efficient at putting out fires than at
running ward politics. Such a complaint
at once marks the person making it as a
soured and impracticable Mugwump.
Of course any organization will be most
efficient in serving the purpose which Is
placed first in organizing it. This is
natural law and no unattached cherisher
of Mugwump heresy can expect. to see it
reversed So long as Fire Departments
are constituted primarily for their
efficiency in politics, with the putting out
of fires as secondary motive, the polit-
ical efficiency has got to come first, and
the extinction of fires can take back
seat. The same principle applies to the
collection and handling of public funds,
the making of statute laws, the laying of
pavements and the carrying of mails.
Of course there are exceptional persons,
lest to the great partisan necessity of
political organization, who claim that tine
putting out of fires should be the first and
only purpose of organizing fire depart
ment and so on through the list of gov
ernmental functions That is a separate
question from the natural result of exist
ing conditions which is what the Philadel-
phia critic takes exception to Besides
which it is only another manifestation of
the hated mugwumpery.

an UNCOMFORTABLE RATIO.

The figures which are given in an article
elsewhere summarizing the report of the
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
contain some percentages which should
be the subject of serious thought to all
who believe in popular education as the
foundation Of good citizenship.
II appears from the statistics that while
the population of the State increased %
per cent during the past decade, the school
attendance in the State increased but II
per cent This serious discrepancy is
made even more grave by the fact that in
the large cities the difference is greater.
The Increase of city population has been
as per cent The increase of school attend
ance is not given for all the cities of the
State, but that it is less than the II per
cent average is indicated by the fact that
Philadelphia absolutely shows a slight
decrease in school attendance. In the case
of the chief city of the State, the alarming
showing is made that the increase of over
40 per cent in population is wholly unac-
companied by an increase in school
attendance.
This points to the alarming conclusion of
an increase of illiteracy in the decade,
amounting to II per cent of the popnla-
ton, with an equally serious indication

A M,KINLEY BOON,

A report comes from Washington that
an organized and active boom is to be
started to make William Mckinley, of
Ohio, the Republican nominee for Presi-
dent
THE DISPATCH has frequently said that
next to James G. Blaine Governor McKin-
ley is the logical and ideal candidate for
the Presidency. He is the recognized
leader of his party on the tariff question,
a man of unimpeachable character, and
even more than the usual fairness to his
opponents. He represents the Republican
policy of protection; and his latest political
victory was to carry Ohio for the Repub-
can party after it had been supposed by
previous elections to be placed in the list
of Democratic States
Nevertheless, this reported Mckinley
boom is placed under cloud by the sus-
picion as to the motives of those who are
pushing it. There is very strong reason
that the exploitation of this boom is due
to the fact that certain politicians do not
love McKinley's virtues more, but that
they love the Harrison dispensation less.
This might not detract from McKinley's
strength if he is put in the race to win;
but the public may be chary of rallying
about him if he is put up for the purpose
of securing good terms for his hackers.
One piece of advice is certainly pertin-
ent to the Mckinley boomers, and that is
to make sure of their candidate. Mr.. Nc
Kinley was understood to say last year
that he would not oppose Harrison, and
he has heretofore given evidence that
when he says no to Presidential nomina-
ton, he means no.

HOME RULE PROGRESS.

Elsewhere will be found a cablegram
describing the main features of bill in
troduced in Parliament by the Scotch
members, providing for the home rule of
their country This is indicative of the
growing movement toward decentraliza-
ton of government in the British Isles.
The bill will, of course, have no success
with the present Parliament, nor will it
take precedence of a similar measure for
Ireland after the general election. But it
will serve to show the direction of public
opinion toward a common-sense distribu-
tion of legislative powers, from which
England itself will be one of the greatest
gamers.
Imperial affairs, and English business,
will have more attention when Scotland
and Ireland are empowered to manage
their own matters. This fact is receiving
more realization every day, and is a power
full ally to the rights of Scotland and Ire
land. The provisions of the bill are wise
and business-like, but it is hardly worth
while to discuss them in detail, since there
is no possibility of their becoming law un-
til Ireland has been disposed of.

A FoUNT OF JINGoIsN1.

Researches into that youthful exponent
of Jingo Americanism, young Walter
Scott, of Lyons, N. Y, who sent that let
ter signed 'Frank Scotte, Thirty y-eighth
PENNSYLVANIA Rifles to the London
Times, promising to wipe England from
the map of the world, reveals the explana-
ton of hitherto unsolved mystery. 1t
might be supposed from the tenor of the
Frank Scotte" note that the youthful
prodigy of fre-eating would devote his
leisure time to organizing himself into an
army of invasion and conquest; but in
vestigation proves that he pursued the
equally congenial and more practicable
role of warlike journalism.
The New York Herald has detailed q
special correspondent for the study of the
juvenile phenomenon, and it is learned
that during the late diplomatic unpleas
antnesses the youthful spirit was spurred
into exceptional activity. His duty, out of
school hours, to "assist in the mailing de-
partment" of his grandfather's newspaper
which means the folding of papers and
carrying them to the postofice-did not
prevent him from giving "the closest at
tention" to the Chilean dispute, and as
result of that profound study he wrote
hundreds of pages on the progress of
Chilean matters"
This explains what was heretofore cal
cu;ated to mystify the impartial observer,
namely the outbreak of Jingoism in the
organic press, all of it of exactly the same
callow, but bloodthirsty character. 1t
was puzzle how so large share of the
press of the United States should be
afflicted with the same characteristics;

GLANDS GREAT ARGUMENT.

Upon the opening of the debate on the
Bland coinage bill this week, Mr.. Bland
proposes to expunge Mr.. Harter, of Ohio,
the Democrat who has had the temerity to
oppose free silver coinage, from the polit-
ical situation. The ammunition with which
Mr. Bland will obliterate Mr.. Harter is all
ready; and Mr.. Band has committed the
error of discounting the sensational effect
of Mr.. Harter's annihilation by letting it
get out
The ammunition consists of photo
graph of Mr.. Harter's place of business.
That convincing picture will be displayed
by Mr.. Bland to prove the deep and
damning fact that Mr.. Harter's business is
that of banking The fact that the op-
ponent of free silver has made business
of discounting commercial paper and re-
ceiving money on deposit, and gained
therein some knowledge of the uses of
money, will in Mr.. BANDS theory of
political logic demonstrate his unitness to
be listened to by Democratic ears. Hav-
ing been exposed in his true character as
the bloated proprietor of miserable riches
and a putative 'gold-bug," Mr.. Harter
will please consider himself wiped out of
the political arena.
This introduction of illustration in eco
nomic logic opens the way for the long
needed reform of illustrations in the Con-
gressiondl Record The force of this de-
ightful argument will be half wasted if
Mr.. BANDS photograph, as well as his re-
marks, cannot be extended in that store
house of Congressional logic. The Illus
tration is very effective one-of Mr..
BANDS mental and political caliber.

but the mystery is fully explained
by the presumption that these
hundreds of pages from youthful
pen were not wasted. When we note
that the lingo editorials were all Of the
nature that was to be expected from a
star-spangled youth of sixteen, burning
with the lofty ambition to invade foreign
countries, and carry the flag Of conquest
to other continents, we are able to easily
perceive the infallible inference that all
these belligerent utterances were the prod
uct of the industry of stFrank Scotte,

1t is reassuring for the future OF the
nation to learn that this famous youth is
destined for career of journalism. In
future years, when foreign powers con-
slider schemes of aggression upon the land
of the free, they will stop to inquire
whether Frank Scotte" is at the editorial
helm. Unless advancing years tame the
fierce spirit of his youth, upon learning
that he is still prepared to conquer the
world on the printed page, they will at
once desist from their injurious projects.
