HERE AND THERE.

The horse editor came in fresh from
an inspection OF stable of bagtsils and
he sat down in the editorial room TO
grind out his stuff. He commenced to
sniff, then looked curiously around,
wrote some more, shifted some more,
and growled out: What in blazes
smells SO about here? It's awful.
Enough to breed pestilence." And he
rooted things about and found nothing
but bouquet of pinks whose delicious
fragrance filled the room. They were
not horsey enough for him.

The way of an advertising manager on
a daily paper is not primrose path of
dalliance, but it is varied sometimes by
funny incidents. One is told by Los
Angeles man which sounds too good to
be original. but if it was appropriated it
dees net burt il any.
This fellow was after Hebrew mer-
chant, who was shy of advertising, and
tine able agent piled him with his
strongest arguments to no avail. At
last, after having lengthy dissertation
on the merits of having his wares an
nounced, the merchant replied, coldly

JOURNALISTIC NOTES.

Since his resignation from the editors hip
of the Wilkes Barre Times, Colonel Ed
ward A, Niven has devoted himself to
special literary pursuits, which he had
long neglected, to his own pecuniary loss.
1t is conceded that northeastern Pennsyl-
vania contains today no more versatile
journalist than Mr.. Niven; and myriads
of friends hope to sec him now do the work
in literature for which his gifts and ex-
perience so abundantly fit him.
Increasing business in all departments
has necessitated a new press for the
Wilkes-Barre News Dealer; and 1t will be
q perfecting one thoroughly up to date.

having for its editor man who can pen a

neatness, felicity and grace.

reason to believe will be the reality

this decline was due to increased wis

the effect of those causes is probably
very beneficial

Come to Scranton.

The undesirabilitY OF Harrisburg as
site of political conventions consists
in the first place Of the insufficient ac-
commodations of its hotels and second
ly in its utter lack of o suitable con-
vention hall. Any gathering of the
prominent Republicans Of the state
which would not fill the Harrisburg
opera house several times in succession
without repeating man would scarco
ly deserve the name Of state conven-
tion. Each convention year this hall
is filled TO suifocation, while thousands
who have journoyed far solely for the
purpose Of seeing the convention at
work are left to amusS themselves on
the cheerless outside.
This will continue to be trus so long
as Harrisburg remains the one meeting
place. BY alternating batw0en Phila-
delphia and Scranton the Republican
delegates would not only secure good
treatment and add to the pleasure Of
the occasion, but also spur the inhabit-
ants Of Harrisburg on to realization
Of the fact that they have been several
decades behind the times. We are not
speaking in behalf of Philadelphia
but so far as Scranton is concerned,
we can guarantee a successful per-
formance Of any hospitality contract.

We venture to believe that when
President Waldo Smith, Of the New
York Wholesale Grocers' association,
recently said what follows, he uttered
truth that has very many believers:
1T waa very unfortunate day for our
great country when the principal issue
between the two parties became that
of tariff fer protssliop on the one hand
and that Of tariff for revenue only on
the other. Almost any system of tariff
that would be permanent and continu-
ous, at least for a decade. would be
bstter than the most perfect system
without a guarantee Of permanency.
II new amendment could be made to
the constitution, providing that tariff
changes should not occur oftener than
once in ten years, and then only by a
non-partisan commission, our country
would enter upon an era Of unparall-
eled prosperity"
This would not be so strikingly true
we're the business Of tariff repairing
nowadays entrusted to honest business
men. Conditions change rapidly in
this electric age. No schedule of du-
ties can last long without need of alter
alton. But instead Of entrusting this
delicate work to trustworthy men who
are personally familiar with the prac
tcal needs of American industry we
saddle it indiScriminately upon law
yers, doctors. preachers and teachers,
not to speak of carpet bsggsrs and
smpll-minded ward heelsrs; and then

cratic party. by Its mistakes, have both
firmly re.estsbllshsd the need of pro-
tectlon to American industries From
tnat broad principle this generation

An Accurate Prophecy,

Senator Hill wrote to that New York
business mems mass meeting that an
income tax, foisted on the people with
out their sanction, and in time Of
profound peace when no extraordinary
calamity made oven tyraunioal meas
urea temporarily endursble, would
surely bring disaster to the political
party that enacts it," and he was right,
The fallacy that only 1900 persons in
this country would fall within the
scope Of this socialistic blow will not
suffice to fool intelligent people for
long.
The moment that poverty, indigencs,
selfishness seeks fight with the thrift,
industry and successful business intel
ligsnce Of the land, it is bound to get
the worst of the struggle. An income
tax Is a direct challege of section to
section and Of class to class. Wher.
ever these challenges have been fought
out, in the arenas of history, wOalth
brains and character have won their
points; and poverty, demagogism and
vicious instincts have lost. 1t will not
be otherwise in the United States Of
America.
From purely selfish point of view,
therefore. the advocates of vicarious
class taxation ara making mistake.
They are sowing the storm seeds that
may ripen into whirlwind, If sue
cess in business 10 TO be punished by n
legal process of stand. and deliver, sue
cess will take measures to protect its
own. And it will succeed in protect
ing it. Those who would scrsen So
cialistic aggressions behind en- income
tax will find before they are through
that they have reckoned without their
host.

1t was not expected that Democratic
newspapers would take kindly toapub-

1t is therefore not strictly in the nature
of an overwhelming surprise to learn
that trey do not indorse his solution Of

no reason why they should. That so

at that Nevertheless, it gave them the
worst scare that party ever
had. And they were prompt TO
repeal it as soon as they got
into power. The proposition of Mr..
Reed is merely an extension of reci-
procity. If silver is to be benefited,
it must be by international agreement.
The country that hangs back most per-
sistently is obstinate England, To get

alism together in a permanent union
Mr.. Reed proposes that a reciprocity
inducement be proposed Then, if
England wants to joiu. we'll and good;
but if not, the world will move right
on.
1t is to be noted that this proposition
presupposes suitable preliminary
campaign. 1t does not commit this
nation TO silver standard by itself.
Wo are to be. If possible, one in many.
The force of union will keep silver up
to a parity. The force of reciprocity
will, to certain extent, preserve this
monetary union. The experiment is
worthy of trial. 1t will do no harm If
it fail; whereas, il it succeed, it will
be an achievement epochal in its zig
