Andrew Gregg Curtin.

The political career Of the eminent
patriot who passed away at Bellefonte
early yesterday morning was check
cred with many altern ations Of
brilliancy and gloom. First Wing,
then one of the first supporters of new
born Republicanlsm, later Greeley in
dependent and finally, by gravita-
ton of which the reconstruction era
supplied so many pathetic instances, a
stiff Democrat, hardened In his latest
allegiance by the memory of bitter
criticism from former associates, Gov
ernor Curtin sounded the gamut of
political sentiment and retired prema-
turely from the stage of public activi-
ties, depriving 1t of gifts seldom united
in one man.
At moment like this criticism, If it
We're truly possible, would be unfeel-
ing and ungenerous. The generation
of today is fortunately free from much
of the rancor that entered into the
later politics of Governor Curtin's
active public life F.; and predisposed to
accord to the great men of that seeth-
ing period ample credit for sincerity
and frank pardon for mistakes. An
drew G. Curtin was q great man,
troubled with perhaps an over-sensi.
tive disposition. If it be necessary to
say that to this constitutional pecu.
liarity can be traced something of his
migratory political habit, shall we
have said aught in censure or re.
proach?
In his capacity las Pennsylvania
great war governor, Andrew Gregg
Curtin was beyond reproach. He was,
indeed, the SOLDIERS friend" whose
brave and prompt response to every
call for help deserves to rank him high
among the most illustrlous heroes
Of the civil war. Having prior tc
the outbreak of hostilities interested
himself in the establishment of oul
state normal school system, today the
model for the educational systems o.
the Union, 1t was natural for him t.
supplement his patriotic work In
equipping volunteer troops by proyid
ing q system Of care and instruction
for the children Of those slain In battle
thus laying the foundation of the sol
diers' orphans schools, which constl.
tuts one Of the most lustrous feature,
Of Pennsylvania benevolence.
Indeed, from whatever standpoint 1
10 viewed, Andrew q. Curtin's caree
presents evidences Of greatness befor
which occasional mistakes are dwarfe,
into trivial Importance, soon to b
wholly erased by the kindly hand O
time.

Reading Times.

Reading Times.
The claim to being the fourth city In the
state Is better sustained by Reading than
Scranton. The only proof that the latter
offers Is its population made up OF scatter
ed districts. Reading, it is well known, is
solidly built-up city with nothing su-
burban counted In. Our tax rate is low
compared with other cities and is In mark
ed contrast with that Of Scranton. While
Reading has city property worth 81, 500, 00C
and an assessment given at s41, 40s 500
from which 1856, 600 revenue was raised the
past year On per cent. tar rate, Scran-
ton has city property given at only s9il, So!
aud an assessment at Sls, lao, 469, the reve-
nue. of S575 $50 having been secured
througha 1917 per cent, tax rate. Reading
is metropolitan In debt figures at 81, 054, :
500 while Scranton has but $751; 555 In
obligations and Reading pays Sl09 50 pei
lamp for street lighting while Scranton
expsnds but $9l.25. A significant feature
in the record Of the two cities gives Read
ing credit for thirty-one building associa-
tionS with assests at SO, 265, 900 whil'
Scranton has twelve, valued at 81, 076 600O.

Senator Hills Slyness.

Senator Hills acceptance of the
Democratic nomination for governor
Of New York is couched in language
that is at once strategic and prophetic
1t serves the senator's desperate pur-
pose to assume that his victory will be
the party's victory, whereas his defeat
will be both the party's defeat and his
own personal humiliation. This is
in one breath an invitation to har-
mony, and in another frank confess
sion of probable defeat, thrown out to
his personal following as stimulus to
extraordinary effort.
At the same time it is as clear as
MONDAY that if Hill shall be defeated
his fate will not be accepted, either by
him or his followers, as his personal
humiliation, but rather as a token Of
Grover Cleveland's treachery, which
would, if successful in Its immediate
purpose of revenge, yet leave David B.
Hill the most conspicuous Democrat in
the country, with new element of in
terest attaching to him-that of the
political martyr. In the event of his
defeat Hill can say; ~ was beaten by
Cleveland's own work, and by the
work ofthe unpopular Cleveland ad-
ministration which, as senator, L tried
my best to avert and to undo" AS q
leader who dared where others fall
tered, and who fell, for his party's well
fare, "outside the breastworks," he
could command sympathy which
would never be his along any other
line of action.
Thus it will be seen that, in tho sem
ator's manifest calculations, he is
figuring upon the basis of "heads L
win; tails Cleveland loses" 1t is a
shrewd and courageous game, with
the administration neatly checkmated
in either contingency; but we suspect
that the people Of New York, having
in mind what Hillism has cost them
in the past, will prefer to let Hill and
Cleveland fight it out at each others
expense, rather than at the expense OF
the Empire commonwealth.

THERE ARE persons now alive who
will see radical cleaning-out of both
political parties in the item of bogus
naturalization. American citizenship
is far too valuable a privilege to be
conferred indiscriminately, merely to
feed the hopper of partisan politics.
We are not so foolish as to pretend that
the guilt for abuses of this privilege is
restricted to the Democratic party.
Politics is game in which bad
methods are too often matched in
kind. But it may be we'll to make
note of the fact, here and now, that
this gross and wholesale turning out
Of new citizens who are unfamiliar
with our constitution and our laws is
species of treason to the republic
which the honest citizenship of this
country, native born and foreign,
Democratic, Republican, Populist and
Prohibition, will some day resent with
swift and certain wrath.

is the purchasers property. to DO with
as he pleases, and to sell Il he likes, and
any attempt to take away his right to
do this By act OF Congress would be
unwarranted aud unjust. We agree
with the Cleveland Leader, which says:
The passage Of the bill now before Con-
gress would be an outrage. To say by
legal enactment that any man could not
dispose by sale OF his title 70 any kind OF
PROPERTY, whether il consisted Of piece
OF land. a certificate of stock, or piece OF
pasteboard emitting the owner to ride
over a certain railroad. would be denial
of rights which no laTmaker should be
willing 70 endorse.
To those who do not understand how
the "scalplng" business works, the
following explanation will be useful:
For instance, a man III New York who
wants 70 came TO Cleveland hnos upon ia-
Quiry that the fare 10 this city is SlJ, while
the price Of a ticket from Chicago TO New
York is SIS. lie buys the Chicago ticket.
When be arrives in Cleveland he sells his
ticket TO "a scalper for 81. He has saved s..
In turn the scalper sells the ticket TO a
man who wants % 20 to Chicago, two dol
lars less than the regular fare. The TWO
passengers have saved s. apiece and the
scalper has made a dollar The railroad
has lost nothing. for it has carried one pas
senger from New York 20 Chicago for the
price it charged for the ride in New YORK.
The passage OF the bill 10 outlaw the
seal per would stop such transactions IN
railway tickets.
Not only would it be unjust to the scalp
ers 10 drive them out Of business, but It
would result in considerable loss to the
travelling public, who, through the medium
of the scalDers, have been enabled 70 take
advantage of the competition 20 which the
railroads resort in their attempts 70 get
business. It is only the great trunk lines
which object % the business of the scalper,
for the bulk Of the business handled by
them are issued by these lines, and the
effect OF the passage Of the bill would be
20 put the people living between the great
terminal and competing points on such
trunk lines more az the mercy OF the COM
panies than ever.

The Glassworkers' Picnic.

Owing probably to the dullness of the
times and the scarcity OF money, the
sixteenth annual picnic OF Local No. 8,
OF the American Flint Glass Workers
Union on the Fair Grounds, yesterday,
was not as successful as the workmen
had looked for. The crowd in attend
ance was not large one, and carly in
the day it looked like failure would re-
suit, bul in the evening more people ar
rived, and at the close Of the picnic
at ten o'clock last night there was
probably five hundred people there.
The big feature Of the event was the
two and one-half mile bicycle race for
the championship of West Virginia be-
tween William Greer and Walter WorS,
for, beside the title, purse Of $50
Worls won In the race with ease. The
proceeds Of the picnic will go to the
benefit of the striking glassworkers Of
the city.
