The Pedagogue in Politics,

A lively breeze has been stirred in
Pittston owing to the recent activity
Of Professor Robert Shiel, principal of
the Pittston schools, in public meet
ing called to discuss certain contem-
plated public improvements. Professor
obiefs course met with criticism upon
the ground that it was improper for
him, occupying the position he did, to
take prominent part in what will
naturally become, If 1t had not already
become. question OF local partisan
politics. In an open latter to some Of
mis- critics, which has just been made
public, the professor taxes up his cud-
gels in the following spirited manner:
With regard to my action in taking part
as citizen in civic duties, should wish
to state my position. l maintain that DO.
litical duties are moral obligations: that
every one who can vote should vote; and
that the man who neglects by voice or
vote to make his influence felt in the gov
ernment of his locality, is as culpably neg
ligent as he, who being member of o
church, shirks his duties to that institu-
lion. You unfortunately voice class who,
according to my views, enormously view
The teachers position towards the COM

agree with you that teacher, because Of
his position, should be denied the righIs of

part Of a political eunuch. /, for one re-

The Right of Refuge.

Perhaps it may be true that Prssi.
dent Ezeta, of Salvador, just deposed
by one Of those FREQUENT revolutions in
that tropic cline, has been bold, bad
man, who deserves punishment. But
when, to save his life, he fled for refuge
to tine United States cruiser Benning-
ton, and was sheltered by Captain
Thomas, the dignity Of the American
flag would seem to demand that before
he shall be released to his pursuers,
they should be required to give trust
worthy assurance that exact justice,
and not political vengeance, would be
his lot.
This is tho common sense as well as
the humanity of the thing. We donot
desire to have Old Glory used as a
shield for criminals; but the man who
has sought and been accorded its pro.
lection should be handed over to his
pursuers only after the blishment.
by them, Of clear case Of guilt, coup
led with distinct assurances that JUS
lice will be administered. The fact
that we took Ezeta On board and kept
him there makes US the proper judges
of his innocence or guilt. If the Saliva
doran authorities should dissent from
this proposition, let them take it out in
dissenting. There is infinitely less
likelihood Of our defeating justice than
of our conserving US. We are impair
tial, disinterested and phlegmatic. The
broilg of the Latin-American races do
not inhame us. 1t is Yankee habit
to be right. before going ahead Let
us be right, then, in these international
imbroglios
In this connection it too frequently
happens that our state authorities are
deferred from maintaining firm posi-
tiou through fear that certain dlsloyal
home papers under British subsidy
may call them "jingoists.' That title,
nine times out Of ten, is a signal COM
pliment-is equivalent to q certifica-
tion Of firm and robust American char.
acter, The jingoist who stands up for
our rights abroad is infinitely prefer
able, in the opinion of good citizens, to
the poltroon who incontinontly sacri-
fees them.

The Trackage Question.


The remarks of Mr.. Paine at last
nights board of trade meeting relative
to the unused tracks OF the Traction
company will receive general indorse-
ment. When the ordinance granting
right of way for several of these tracks
was signed, it was upon the general
understanding that the tracks would
be operated. If 1t had been known
that they were to be used simply for
antiquarian purposes, it is doubtful If
executive approval could have been Sc
cured. Those verbal pledges ought to
be redeemed or else the tracks ought to
be torn up or buried. Their idle pres
ence on the streets, interrupting wagon
traffic and blockading travel of all
kinds. is an anomaly that no person, in
or out of the Traction company, should
approve or defend
With regard to the condition Of the
Traction company's active tracks, THE
TRIBUNE has been at some pains to as
certain the compauy's intentions; and
we deem it no more that fair to the
company to say In behalf of its present
management that eighty men are at
work every day repairing and replaci ng
the rundown lines. These lines should
never have been permitted to get
into such a wretched condition. The
franchise under which the city grants
this company the use of the public
streets should provide more stringent
regulations as to the manner in which
the streets arc to be used the repair in
which they are 10 be kept and the kind
of service that the public is supposed to
get
But for the present, It Is fair that
the efforts of Mr.. Beetem to repair the
tracks and restore the service to its
earlier efficiency should be taken into
consideration. Among the business
men Of the board of trade there is, we
dare say, no disposition to exact un.
reasonable conditions, nor to be unduly
hasty in the administration OF censure.
II in due time the tracks are not ma
terially bettered. the company should
be made TO come to time.

day when one, having intelligence enough
to occupy the position of principal Of our
schools, should set tho bad example Of neg
lecting the performance OF his civic du-
ties.
We do not pretend to understand all
the points at issue in this Pittston com
plication-indeed, it might be- added
that We doubt if anybody else does. 1t
is pretty clear. however, that Profess
sor Shiel will be able to take care
OF himself in any controversy which
may arise as an incident to his partici-
patton in local politics, And. speaking
generally, we venture to express be-
lief that politics will not, to any great
extent, become the worse for the larger
activity in it of the men who superin =
tend our public schools.

DANGERS OF FREE TRADE.
Washington Post.


The workingman, no matter in what
sphere his activity may be cast, ceases to be
good citizen the moment he finds that
his labor will not yield him the necessaries
Of life. 1t is idle to argue with him on this
point. He knows that he tolls from morn.
ing until night, that he returns from his
work worn out, hungry, and detected, and
that in the cheerless home, his empty
larder, and his mean surroundings there Is
nothing of recompense or hope or Joy.
That under such circumstances he should
be- u contented, conservative and exem
plary member Of society is extravagantly
out Of the question. That he should, on
the contrary, begin to suspect injustice
and foul play on the part of his employers
is the most natural thing in life. The
question is not one of ethics nor economy
nor abstract principle; it is a question Of
human nature.

An income tax is scheme Of monarchi-

necessity during the emergency Of war.
1t is neither a Democratic nor Republi-
can principle, but is Socialistic in its in
ception, un-American in theory, unequal

In its execution. 1t is unjust, because it is
unnecessary for purposes ofrevenue. 1t is

The WHOLE issue in this senatorial
prosecution of two newspaper corre-
spondents for no other offence in the
world than merely telling the truth, is
we'll condensed by the Philadelphia
Press in these pointed words: "If the
president of the sugar trust, in the face
of his deliberate refusal to answer
pertinent and vital question, is not
treated like the correspondents for an
immeasursbly more excusable refusal.
it will be discrimination and favor
itism which will produce a most pain
full impression throughout the eoun-
try" The senate is signing and sealing
its own death warrant in this thin ef-
fort to cover up Is own infamy by the
sacrifice of two newspaper reporters.
The people will not stand that kind Of
thing. They will defeat and humiliate
every solitary senator that is so small
minded as to regard that kind Of per-
secntion as real justice.

New JERSEY has recently passed a
law which requires young Lochinvars

Its eccentricities; and this instance

It Amounts to Anarchy.

HOcNe8lef FO8I-ELVFeSS.
This argument basing the right Of suF-
frage on the power TO fight forgets the
very nature of society and nationhood.
Society is formed or grows for the good of
ALL the weak as well as the strong; and
the state, under the law, represents the
strength Of the whole and wields the
power Of the whole. To conceive state
that cannot enforce the law, is to deny the
right Of that state to exist, and to break
the bond Of political fellowship.

The Time to Grow.

The report of Secretary Atherton, at
last evenings meeting of the board Of
trade, confirms the recent assertion in
these columns that now, while general
business depression renders doubly nec-
essary the advantageous location of in.
dustries. is a first rate time for ScrRn-
tons business men TO renew former
vigorous efforts to advertise Scranton
Secretary Atherton's visit to Paterson,
N. j., has convinced him that many
valuable industries in that neighbor-
hood are anxious TO remove to better
sites, We are thoroughly convinced
that Scranton possesses the kind Of
sites that these manufacturers would
like to get hold of. The only thing
that intervene' to prevent consum.
nation Of the bargain is somebody to
take the riEh. kind of an initiative.
1t seems like a threshing over of old
straw to attempt to lay before the
enterprising business men of this city
the advantages of diversified local in
dustries, They know what these are,
not only from past teaching, but also
from past experience. Indeed, the
only point which seems worthy of
mention at this time is the fact that if
The opportunities at present open for a
wise increase OF our manufacturing
industries are to be improved, as they
admittedly should be, the necessary
work to improve them must be
lone quickly and also done thor.
oughly. 1t is as absolutely certain
Is anything can be in a world of uncer.
tainties. that the lifting Of the now
impending cloud Of business dubious
ness will not be long postponed. Con-
Jress or no congress, tariff bill or no
5aritf bill, the natural necessities of
our thrifty and indomitable people will
inevitably triumph in the long run;
and when the wheels shall move
again, and the factory spindles whirr
again. it will doubtless be in accom-
paniment to one of the steadiest and
most reassuring trade revivals that
this section has ever known
Scranton wants to be in that revival
aud in 1t deep. We have the facilities,
the resources, the labor, and the
brains. All that is lacking, or all that
Aas apparently for some time been
dormant, is the determination. We
nave. it is said, outgrown the boom
period. Let that be granted, But we
nave not outgrown the period of steady
growth. We have reached maturity.
perhaps, but we have not reached the
age of idleness and decline. 1t is as
true of cities as Of men that unless they
Expand and develop, they must newt,
ably retrograle. There is no middle
course; no inert mean. Business, com.
petition, civilization itself spurs on to
progress or else kicks downward to de.
cay.
Industrial Scranton has touched rock
bottom. It has got down to the level
of healthy stability. Now let it grow.
