and deliver him over to the post-grad-
uate school of actual experience well

in him, to hold his own.
We believe thoroughly in the in
structive value of downright hard
work. Those whom we call self-made
men are examples of it. But it would
be manifestly false logic to contend
that because some men, by the sheer
force Of their own intrinsic merits, are
enabled to rise in life independent of
the help held out by schools the latter
are to be despised. The boy who is
thrown overheard, either with or with
out scholastic training, must sink or
swim, in strict accordance with his
own inherent value. But the aid
given to him by an honest school edu-
cation often develops and polishes
powers otherwise undreamed of and
adds to his usefulness to society.
The purpose of the Scranton Busi
ness college, as we understand it, is to
give real valuc for all tuition received.
1t is not its intention to attempt any
humbug. The proprietors do not wish
to drag young men into their clutches,
squeeze the pennies out Of their pockets

ineffective quick step, often ending

THE MANLlER COURSE.

Altoona Tribune.
Vice President Wickes puts his company
grossly in the wrong when he refuses to
entertain proposals for arbitration. 1t is,
OF course, within tho right Of the Pullman
company to decline to arbitrate. But in
times Of great public excitement he who
adheres stifily to his rights, declining to
give an inch, is neither wise man nor a
good citizen. The nearer we approach the
spirit revealed by the Founder OF the
Christian religion the better, and that
spirit teaches mutual forbearance and
good will. Besides, if it be true, rs the
Pullman company asserts, that it has been
keeping Its shops open at loss, the inves.
tigaton Of the arbitrators would reveal
that fact and mark it down to its credit,
while establishing the justice Of its refu-
sal to increase wages at this time. We
would yield nothing to those who defy
law; but to submit the matter to the ar.
bitrament of honest and trusted citizens
would not be yielding.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1894-07-17
Mr.. PuIIman's Defense.

In some particulars Mr.. Pullman's
elaborate defense clears away misap-
prehensiOns. It's weakness, however,
is in failing to justify the company's
refusal to submit the proof of its asser-
tons to a disinterested and impartial
committee OF outsiders, not necessarily
for publication but as q guarantee of
good faith. This would not commit it
to any unfair arbitration. 1t would
simply test whether or not it had been
telling the truth.
Less than two months ago the Pull
man company, we understand, de-
clared quarterly dividend amounting
to S800,000. This is at the rate of eight
per cent. per annum, and does not ap-
pear to indicate that Mr.. Pullman has
recently been in any danger of being
sent to the poor house. 1t is, of course,
his legal right to refuse to submit proof
of his assertions of philanthropic pur-
poses at a time when, if they were
proved, it would leave the big strike
not q single leg to stand on. But it is
not a wise nor manly policy and it
will in the long run do Mr.. Pullman
more harm than good.
We say this with the more freedom
inasmuch as we have consistently and
persistently opposed the insurrection
which took the Pullman difficulty as
Its excuse for existence. The fact that
Debs was wrong, however, does not
necessarily imply that Pullman is
right. AS general rule it may be
said with safety that the man who
runs away from fair investigation
has reasons of his own for stunning
publicity. An honest man with an
honest cause ought not to fear the
honest scrutiny of others.

Not Personally a Failure.

We cannot agree with all of the ap-
pended extract from the esteemed Min
neapolis Times: at is remarkable
that the great labor movements of this
country have not yet developed a
really great leader. II, V. Powderly
came nearest to achieving honorable
distinction, and it is certain that he
was one of the ablest and most astute of
the. leaders whom labor agitations have
thrown to the surface. But he was
repudiated by the very organization he
had served with distinguished sagacity
and success, and now ranks among the
great failures of the age"
1t is not the belief Of Mr.. Pow.
derly's neighbors and friends that
he franks among the great failures
of the age.n They attribute what
ever of failure there is in his ca
reer not to any lack of individual
ability or energy; but to the inevitable
circumstances of his past position.
Many of them doubt whether the
theory Of democratic institutions really
cOntemplates that one man or one
body of men, occupying offices not
conferred upon them by free and
open ballot Of their fellow citizens,
should, no matter how able and well
disposed, have greater power over the
daily vocationsofAmerican wage.carn-
ers than is exercised in time of peace
by any king on any throne in Christen-
dom, over those subject to his rule.
And to this anomaly they are disposed
to credit many blunders, not only Of
Mr.. Powderly but of all who may be
| placed as he has been, at the head Of
unnatural conditions and in executive
charge of an abnormal system.
If there is anything that has the ap-
pearance Of failure in Mr.. Powderly's
past, we, too, prefer to credit it to the
defects Of the system with which he
has been identified rather than to
personal shortcomings. We are of
those who believe, mayhap mistakenly
but certainly sincerely, that each
American, in the final analysis of
things industrial, as well as civic, must
work out his own destiny by his own
individual efforts, begging nothing save
fair play and fearing nothing save God
and the devil. If this belief is wrong,
we have indeed read history and
studied passing events TO poor pur-
pose.

Worth of Business Colleges.

The purposed establishment in this
city of new business college, under
the conduct and control of two young
gentlemen who have, in other rela-
tons, demonstrated their ability,

of some interest to the business public.
The knowledge to be derived from a
systematic and thorough course Of

Major Warren's graphic allusior yestcr-
day TO the spectral endowment OF the
haunted chamber in Hampton Court is
thus matched in delightful letter Of
travel from Tewkesbury by William Win
ter: There is a tradition in Tewkesbury
that the Lancastrian Prince of Wales was
not murdered in the field, but in house,
then a sort Of palace, still extant, in the
High street, near the Cross. "a house now
used for the display and sale Of cakes and
confectionery. Upon the floor OF one Of
the rooms in that building blood stains
sand to be OF great age, are still visible.
Such traces, indeed, the silent tokens Of
savagery and crime, cannot be erauicated
as the visitor may learn, by convincing
evidence, at such old houses at Clopton and
Compton Wyngate. And it is supersti-
tion IN Tewke,bury that at midnight on
May T. in every year, that being the ami
versary of the princes assassination, q
spectral train, bearing his body, passes out
OF that house, to the solemn tolling OF the
abbey bell, aud vanishes. 1t is cheerful
place by daylight, with gayly trimmed
easements, and garnished counters, and
cleaning mirrors. and smiling girls; but,
late Mt night. when all the shops were
closed and all the town was still, the whole
region Of the Cross, with its dark, lower
ing, timbered fronts, its gloomy windows
and its duslty passages, seemed indeed u
fit haunt for phanEoms, and the tale OF the
spectral obsequies was remembered more
with shudder than SMILE"

If THE GREAT WEST shall not have
a good deal to say about the nomina-

Of the United States it will be because
it will generously waive its preroga-

in the northwestern corner of Kansas;
and the political center, you can rest
assured, will not always remain east OF

The WAY to Test II.

That was certainly an impressive
scene when the New York constitu-
tional convention at Albany, upon
motion of Democratic member, voted,
by rising, unanimous expression, its
condemnation of a scurrilOus personal
attack upon the character Of one of its
most honored Republican members,
eX-Minister John NJ. Francis Of Troy,
made by a henchman of Senator Ed
ward Murphy in revenge for the Wig
orous exposure of Murphyism in Mr..
Francis paper, the Troy Times.

who had thrice represented his gov
ernment at foreign courts and who, at
the recent New York election, led the
entire ticket as a candidate for dele

bad, indeed, if it did not make fav-
orable comparison with the character
Of the man whose political throne is q
beer keg and whose political weapons
are those of thugs, bruisers, paid re-

Upon such an issue as this we have
no doubt the people of New York state
would elect Editor Francis governor
over either Flower or Murphy by a
majority beside which that that first
made Grover Cleveland a "man Of

canoe. The people of our sister com.
