A Word to the Governor.

There can, We should fancy, be very
little uncertainty as to the action that
Governor Hastings will take with
reference to the compulsory education
bill which, although requiring the con-
currence of the house in minor senate
amendments, may now practically be
come law. The bill has passed both
branches of the legislature by almost
a few deluded persons who seem to
think that it is among the rights of
ance and cast them out upon society
untitled for thorough citizenship; and
it is sustained by abundant argument
reaching to the very stability Of popu-
lar government.
Under these circumstances, we can
readily believe that the governor will
sign the bill; and, furthermore, that he

act of executive approval with feelings
of satisfaction and pride. The free
public school Is the one sure defence
of free government; and 1t IS distinct
ly unfair to tax the childless property
owner in support of that public de-
fence and then deprive him of his
moneys worth by failing to educate
the very persons who, when deliberate
iy reared in ignorance, become a men
ace and burden upon society.
No doubt, should the governor sign
this bill, the Philistines will howl for a
time; but the public is getting quite
used to that. 1t Is impossible to please
everybody.

would give forth sardonic shout
Of triumph should adult men and
women occupy the same pew In
church. They are honest in this
belief; and their foible Is to be
adjudged In q spirit Of charity. Yet
the belief, as we know, is wrong, for
men and women do sit together in
church without eliciting a sound from
the prince Of mischief. Again, there
are other persons who regard CO.
education OF the sexes as kind Of
preparatory course to q second 'hor-
rid saturnalia;" yet boys and girls are
being daily instructed under one roof
and In one room; nor has the human
race perceptibly deteriorated in con-
sequence thereof.
We advise Father Phelan to exercise
freely in the open air. observe hygienlo

foundations for more healthy view OF

PENSIONS FOR JUDGES.

From the Pittsburg Times.
The bill which has passed the house re-
firing on full pay judges who have reached
the age of 20 years, and have served
twenty years consecutively, or thirty
years in the aggregate, is a measure
which should commend itself to the con-
siderate judgment of the people. There
Is nothing of greater Importance to the
people than an able and upright judiciary.
Judges should be chosen from the best
men the legal profession contains. Tho
salaries paid them are not large. II Is
safe to say that there Is not lawyer in
the state fit for the judicial position who
cannot earn in the practice Of his pro-
fession much more than the salary at
tached to the office. More than this, when
u judge retires after twenty or thirty
years OF faithful and acceptable service It
Is practically impossible for him to re-
enter the professional arena and regain
the place he abandoned to go upon the
bench.
The people are very regardful of tho
judicial office. The judge who shows
himself worthy Is usually reelected, not
once but twice, and even to fourth term
In such cases age and infirmitles fre-
quently incGpocltate him for a full per-
formance of his duties. He cannot be re-
moved, ana naVlnR no Otner means or
support dare not resign. Legal business
Is delayed, and suitors put to inconve-
nience and expense. To remedy this the
Legislature is called upon to provide ad-
ditlonal law judges, and thus a perma-
nent charge Is put upon the public treas
ury. Just such a situation now confronts
tho people Of Philadelphia. Three of her
ablest judges, two of whom have served
over forty years, are almost wholly inca
pscitated for work. The public interests
are suffering, and to remedy the matter
tho judicial apportionment bill now pend
ing establishes n new court with, three
additional judges in that city.
Tho bill just passed provides q better
and more economical way Under II these
judges could retire, knowing that their
few remaining years are provided for, and
younger men could take their places with
out any addition to the number OF courts.
The expense consequent upon this mea-
sure can never be great. But few judges.
In the very nature of things, serve over
twenty years or are on the bench at 10.
Although the number of United States
judges Is greater than those In Pennsyl-
yania, only eleven are on the retired list
under the act of 1869. and as their terms
nre for life many more are likely to reach
the statutory age while on the bench than
here. where, except In the case OF supreme
judges, they must stand for reelection
every ten years. The retirement bill Is
just to the Judges, and an economical
measure for the people.

Cndeserved Criticisms.

The habit of ridlculing legislative
assemblies Is one Of which we are all
more or less guilty. Disappointment
at the defeat OF some pet bill, or per-
sonal chagrin at the enactment of a
dstasteful measure often incllnes US to
reach sweeping and unfair conclusions
as to legislatures honesty, fairness
and ability. Yet an assembly of law
makers, whether at Washington or
Harrisburg, ought in fairness to be
Judged with reference to the character
of it's work as a whole, and not in rela-
tion merely to one or two items among
several thousand propositions coming
before it for consideration.
1t Is to be expected that the minority
will sharply crlticise the work Of a legis-
1ature controlled by the opposite party.
Little need be said, therefore, about
Democratic or Mugwump abuse
Of the present legislature at Harris
burg. 1t Is unfortunate, however, that
some Republicans of influence should
needlessly have contracted a hyper
critical habit in this direction. 1t Is
unfortunate for THE reason that, while
the legislatures work may fairly be crit
icised in occasional details, its general
character has been economical and pro-

Time for an Explanation.

Mr.. Cleveland's disclaimer of any
share in the Morton interview leaves
his position on the currency question
more indeterminate than ever. His
secretary of agriculture, he says,
spoke only his own views when he de-
clared fatty for gold monometallism;
when 1 have anything to say to the
public" the president says in effect,
II will say 1t over my own signature"
That being true, why doesn't he say
it? Certainly the time is opportune for
a definite explanation at his hands.
In his delphic epistle to- the Chi
cagoans, the president drew grim
picture of evils to come If the patriot
ism and intelligence of the country do
not quickly marshal their forces in de-
fense of sound currency" and an
honest dollar" But how can these
forces be arrayed until 1t is known just
what is meant and Just what is not
meant by these easily-uttered and
glitterlng generalities? We had
thought that Secretary Morton's very
positive deelaration was intended as
the bugle call; but here the president
himself, with evident asperity, re-
pudiates that utterance, but supplies
no message in its stead.
We submit that this is the height of
If the president sees dan
ger ahead, why doesn't he tell the pub
lie precisely how to avert it? If he
perceives that the stability of the re-
public is being threatened by pernicious
teachings of unsound finance, why
doesn't he clearly outline his idea of
the proper cure? What is he in the
present division? Is he gold bug
or a bimetallist? If bimetallist, why
his evident aversion for silver?
Come, now, Mr.. President, it Is time
for you to explain. The oracular
racket, at least in your case, is worn

A Disgrace to Civilization.

A letter to q local contemporary by
one of the Jurors In the recent Dickin-
son trial Is interesting by reason OF the
light which 1t sheds on the quality Of
wisdom manifested in that jury's de-
liberations This letters follows.
| see by the Scranton papers that the
eight jurors who We're for Anna Dickin-
son succeeded In getting their names IN
the Scranton papers. This seems to have
been their hearts desire from the begin
ming of the trial The leader of the party
who was for her approached one of tho
other Jurors, talking over my shoulder so
that I could hear everything he said, and
said to the other juror: Nov, you must
stick TO Anna Dickinson and our names
will get into the papers. and this will be
a. very nice thing" He turned to me and
said in Just about this way, suppose a
set of men should go to your sister, or
somo near relative. and drag her from her
private chamber and hustle her OFF, how
would you feel?' Two others expressed
themselves in language equally as plain
in my hearing in the first two or three
days OF the trial. They claimed that the
plaintiff was brutally handled, and in vio-
lation of the law taken to the asylum. ]
see also by the Scranton papers that
some OF the Jurors were in favor of CIV
ing her heavy damages. as much as one
hundred thousand dollars; this is not true.
The jurors who were for her were only in
favor of giving her the merest pittance !:
one OF them said to me: THE damages
should be merely nominal: she might do
the best way she could TO get it." They. all
talked to us in the jury room Of merely
nominal damages. 1t may be this was
merely put out as a bait to catch us.
They We're determined, however, there
should be a verdict in her favor, and some
of them even tried to bulldoZe us to their
side of the case. / believe IL the judge
who tried the case had known the state
of things as they existed in that jury as
early as Tuesday of the first week, We
would have been pretty suddenly dis
missed. l am old and have been on jury
duty many times, but never was on one
that was in any respect like this.
1t is, we repeat, unfortunate that
under the law the determination of
difficult and delicate questions Of fact,
deeply affecting the most sacred rights
Of principals to litigation like that
under consideration, must be left to
jurors who think more of personal noto-
riety than of their sworn duty as i'm
partial judges of evidence; or who are
willing, out of instant sympathy for one
principal in the case, and in advance OF
the completed testimony, to wreak
gross injustice upon other principals
with certainly equal claim to fair and
manly treatment. A jury like this Is a
disgrace to civilization; and It is sim
cerely to be hoped that when this case
again reaches trial, it will proceed in
the presence of twelve Jurors adequate
to the responsibilities of their sacred
function.

in the opinion of thinking Republicans,
had somehow covered the party with
ignominy and alienated public conf
dence, when nothing of the kind Is true.
The legislature has made number Of
mistakes, and these deserve rebuke; but
It Is not worse in any respect than its
recent predecessors; and in some re-
spects II is far better. Although stig-
matized by manufactured sentiment as
"extravagant," 1t has, as a matter OF
fact, passed only one bill In relation to
the executive departments involving
an increase In expenses, and that (the
bill authorizing an increase In the num-
Der of deputy factory inspectors) was
passed in response to public sentiment
hostile to Sweat shops" In matters
of general concern 1t has, in the main,
occupied prudent ground; and tho
worst charge than can yet be fairly
brought against 1t Is its hesitancy to
perfect ballot reform and to establish
reform in the states civil service.
If the Republican party shall close
much vantage ground" by reason of
this legislatures work, 1t will be not
little due to perhaps unintentional
Misrepresentation of its work by over
critical Republicans; and to the spirit
of sharply criticizing legislative pro-
ceedings instead of cooperating with
the lawmakers in the behalf of better
LEGISLATION.

DO not allow yourself to become as

vidual who never possessed but one idea.
Remember that the opinions of thinking
men can be changed--even on the finan-
cial question.
BE not alarmed at the apparent wisdom
of the critic. If critics attacked none but
Interiors, criticism would be almost un-
known.
If you would achieve success as a mag
netic orator, see that the applause artists
have been instructed in advance.

The refusal Of the Iroquols club of
Chicago to accept the resignation of
it's president, Judge Mcconnell, because
of his conversion to free silver, Is a
creditable act. The club wisely held
that his tenure of belief contrary to
its own did not constitute sufficient
justification for the acceptance of his
resignationi or. in other words, that,
in Chicago at least, men are not to be
