Representative Harvey is to be COM
mended for his promptness and fore
thought in proposing, for enactment at
Harrisburg, a law which would punish
by fine the man who persists, against
Judgment, beauty and reason, in mutl-
iating his horses tail. The act should
however, be amended to include pun
ishment for employers who discharge
employees for protesting against this
barbarous imported custom.

Knute Nelson, the senator-elect from
throughout the west for his pronounced
low-tariff views. While in congress he
voted against the Mckinley bill and
fought hard, within party lines, to pre-
vent the spread of the impression which
prevailed throughout the northwest in
1890 and 1892 that the Republican party
was committed to interpretation.
Had his counsel prevailed, the tidal
wave of 1894 would not have occurred,
because there would have been no prior
Democratic tidal wave ito call it into
existence

What is the Chicago Herald driving
at when 1T says: 'If Democrats in con-
gress had poured on Benjamin Harr
son for proposing a pension for Queen
Lii tjthe of THE abuse heaped by the
Republicans on President Cleveland for
refusing ito NEEDLE with Hawaiian af-
fairs, we should have heard the Re
publican press ringing with denuncia-
tion of their Lack of patriotism. A more
undgnilied proposal than Ito pension
an ex-queen put off her paltry throne
by our Connivance is not to be found in
the history of a republic, ancient or
modern" When did Benjamin Harri-
son or any other Republican propose to
pension Queen Lii? We fear the Her.
aid is laboring under another delusion.

EducatiOn's Chief Defect.

Wlkes-Barre Leader: "The chief de-
feet of the public school system, as now
generally conducted is that 1t directs the
incllnations of our boys to specialties in
which more men are already seeking a
livelihood than can find It, and that the
principal value of manual training is
that 1t is intended to divert the tendency
to more general lines of avocation in
which the graduates will be of far greater

Judge Schuyler, of the Northampton
courts has enjoyed for years a reputa-
tion for patriotism and firmness in his
treatment of the laws relating to nat
uralization. He has recently, however,
taken a further step in this direction by
ordering four special quarterly sessions
of court to consider the applications Of
persons desiring to be naturaliZed. In
these sessions only will such applica-
lions be considcred; and the effect of
the ruling will be that applicants will
be vigorously cross-eXamined, instead
of being ground through the mill at a
velocity corresponding with the politi-
cal necessities of the campaign mana
gers. This example is so praiseworthy
as to inspire hope that it may be
generally initiated throughout the COM
monweaIth.

AS marking the progress of common
sense in libel legislation, an Indiana
proposition is interesting. 1t provides
that before any suit shall be filed for
libel the aggrieved party shall notify
the publisher of the paper Of the in
justice done him and shall give him an
opportunity to retract the statements.
If this is done within three days, where
the paper offending is II daily, and in
ten days, where lthe paper is weekly,
the plaintiff shall recover only actual
damage sustained. The statute books
of all the states will eventually have to
come up to this position. 1t is the only
tenable one consistent with equal ana
exact justice to all persons concerned

Inspiration is the keynote of Burns
poetry as it is of the poetry of the
American Burns, James WhitcOmb
Riley-the inspiration of nature speak
ing an unschooled message through
human lips direct to the hearts of men.
Others built wonderful verse or se-
creted deep thoughts; but Burns for
Scotia and Riley for our own land have
echoed the beauties of air and skies
ana llmpid streams, and sung the songs
of the common people. Hence their

years of age-the years covered by the
Farr bill? The Truth, on the one hand,
earnestly advocated law prohibiting
children of such age from earning
bread in factories "for themselves and
widowed mothers" etc, and yet 1t now
declares that these idle children shall
not be sent ITO school, because it thinks
that they ought to be busy violating the
law which the Truth originally cham
pioned.
Our neghbor, it strikes us, is not
altogether consistent in this matter.

Need of a New Cabinet Office.

1t seems probable that one of the re-
suits of the multiplying demand for
state departments will some day be the
known as the secretaryship of the in
terror. This department could through
various bureaus, cover such subjects
as labor. mining. agriculture, banks
and banking and similar fields of enter
prise calling for state supervision much
more economically and effectively than
they could be covered by independent
departments, besides Offering Il more
compact and statesmanlike system of
supervision.
As the states wealth and industries
shall develop, the pressure for such SUI
pervison will naturally increase. If a
new cabinet department should be Gre
ated flexible in its nature, this pressure
could be accommodated, from time to
time, by the establishment of subordi-
nate bureaus, without Involving an un-
wise multiplication in the number of
hiEh-salaried state departments. The
same difficulty is under consideration
in New York, where the formation of
state bureaus, departments, commits
sions and boards has proceeded at Il
pace unparalleled in any other state.
A strong effort will be made at Albany
this year to weed out the sinecures
among these numerous appuintive Off
ces, and to bring all Offices of kindred
nature and purpose together under
common head.
Pennsylvania, however, is in a posi-
ton to illustrate the truth of the adage
that prevention is easier than cure
Our state sinecures as yet are few.
They should be kept SO. This can be
done by classifying new offices under
a general department, and by going
slow in the creation of such offices.
There is danger ahead at Harrisburg in
the easy spirit in which the present
legislature contemplates propositions
looking to the creation of new commits
sions. II is easier to create such COM
missions than to abolish them. Hence
the need of caution before the mischief
shall have been precipitated.

We reproduce elsewhere the Wilkes
Barre Leaders reply to our suggestion
that manual training in the public
schools, as commonly advocated, seeks
to educate specialists at the public eX-
pense. We agree with all that the
Leader says, and suspect that only
misapprchension divides us. What The
Tribune opposes in the public school
system, is not elementary education,
whether manual or intellectual, but the
ginger bread finishing touches" which
properly belong to the domain of
private enterprise. The mission of the
public schools is to teach the masses
the rudiments of a general education.
ANY thing that will help boys and girls
to prepare for the trades has naturally
as much right in the public schools as
have those studies which lead to the
learned professions. But the public
should not be taxed to establish schools
of business, schools of mining, schools
of wood carving and design, schools of
law, theology, medicine or art Such
schools should be provided by private
enterprise or benevolence or both.
They lie outside the proper sphere of
the common, public schools.

AN ABSURD SCHEME.
Asking Government Aid for Another
Overland Road.

CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-There are
some enterprising Chicago gentle
men who have q tremendous
scheme on hand in the line of a
railway enterprise, which, if car
ried out, will revolutionize passen-
ger travel between the Eastern and
Western coasts. Regarding the
bill introduced in the House of
Representatives yesterday to incor-
porate the National Central Rail
way Company, and providing that
The United States shall guarantee
interest of 8 per cent. on the COM
pany's bonds, J. c. Reynolds, one
of the originators of the project,
was seen at his home, 302 South
Robey street, today. He said, re-
garding the proposed road:
"The line has been surveyed
east to New York, and we have a
pretty definite idea as to our route
west. The enterprise is to be
backed by English capital. Mr..
Balm, who is the active member
of the company, has been to Eng
land several times and has pledges
from English capitalists who will
furnish the money when the bill is
passed. Sir Richard Fox, a prom
inent English capitalist, has IA
vorable opinion of the proposed
line. The road will shorten the
distance between New York and
Chicago at least $50 miles, and
about the same to San Francisco.

OCEAN NEWSPAPERS
Common in the Day Of Clippers, One
is Still Published.

Years ago. before the great ocean
liners made trip from this country
TO Europe a matter of only few
DAYS. and the one way to get to
Europe was. by clipper ship, and the
VOYAGE occupied from four to six
weeks. il was the custom to publish a
weekly newspaper on board the
larger ships for the edification Of the
nasseppers. The captain and officers
would store up news items before
leaving port, and these, enlarged and
greatly embeIlished, would be made
the leading features of the weekly
issue. Information from the captains
cabin as to the weather prospects,
and other interesting scraps OF news
of the ship, together with whatever
contributions the passengers cared to
make, would help fill up the paper
and make it an exceedingly attractive
sheet for people a thousand miles
from land. The mid-ocean news
paper was always a curious looking
affair. and copies of all the issues
were eagerly sought by collectors
whenever ship touched port. But
since the ocean grayhounds have
made the trip SO short the ocean
newspaper has disappeared. A year
or so ago, however. the American
line began the publication of news
papers on board of the big steamers
New York and Paris.
One paper is published each trip,
and is usually run off the press when
the steamer is four days out and
rolling in the roaring forties. On
the Paris the publication is called
the Paris Gazette, while it IS the New
York Gazette on the sister ship. The
limited printing apparatus on the
steamers makes it impossible to turn
out a very large paper. The sheet Is
about six inches wide and nine inches
long, and is four. page affair printed
on manila paper. The first item of
news that strikes the eye is a descrip-
ton of the ship, signed by the
captain. This is stock paragraph,
and is printed in every issue. The
daily runs of the steamer follow and
the distance still to go and the prob
abilities of doing it within a certain
time are discussed in short para
graphs. The second column of the
first page generally contains some
paragraphs headed General Inform
ation," and here the passengers find
many useful little hints as to cures
for seasickness, the necessity of ex-
ercising by taking regular walks
around the decks, and advise as to
the handling of valuable information
for people making their first trip.
The paper contains contributions of
prose and verse, some of them decid-
eddy clever, and there is also a
column devoted to queries. The
price of the Gazette is sixpence in
English or Is cents in American
money, and it meets with a ready
sale in the second cabin and Storage,

oers.-New York Sun.

Pupils Must Not Smoke.

ST. JOSEPH (Mo.), Jan. 22.-No
pupil who smokes cigarettes will be
allowed to attend the St. Joseph
public schools. The school board

decides that anybody discovered
using cigarettes will be summarily
expelled, no matter whether smok-
ing on or off the school grounds.
All members of the board voted for

National Cane Shredder
PATENTED UNDER THE LAW 80
TIE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS

Dir. John A. Scott, Manager
Of the Hilo Sugar Company
gives the following wonderful.
record of the working of the
NATIONAL CANE SHRED
DER, which was erected by
their works at the commence
ment of the crop just har-
vested:
During the past week the
Hilo Sugar Company's mill ex-
ceeded any of its former
records by closing the 1875
hours grinding with an output
of S008 tons. This is fully 10
per cent. more than the best
work of former years.
The three roller mill being
26 in. by Sd in. and the two
roller mill so in. by go in. The
first mill doing this amount of
work in an efficient manner
and with great ease, compared
with work on whole cane,
owing to thorough preparation
of the cane by the National
Cane Shredder, recently erec-
ted by the Company. And
by its use the extrac-
tion has been increased from
8 per cent. to 5 per cent. on all
kinds of cane, and in some
cases so per cent. has been
reached; the average being IS
to IS per cent, according to
quality.
II continue to find the
megass from shredded cane
better fuel than from whole
cane.
"The shredder has been
working day and night for
seven months and has given
me entire satisfaction, having
shredded during that time
about seventy thousand tons
of cane, and a large part of it
being hard ratoons.
"The shredder and engine
require very little care or
attention"
