LEGISLATIVE TOPICS.
Sanctions the Vaughan Bill,

Hazleton Standard: "If the bill intro
duced by Senator Vaughan, of Lacka-
wanna, on Monday night relating to The
certificates of miners should become u
law II will have the effect of drawing from
the coal mines the foreign miners who
now 80 thickly infest the coal regions
and are gradually pushing out the Eng
lish-speaking diamonddiggers. The meas
ure provides that no certificate for Il
miner shall be issued to any person who is
unable to speak the English language.
The prcteXt for this is one entirely for the
safety OF human life. 1t Is stipulated in
the bill that a miner shall hold GER
tiiicate only who is able to give or to hear
Il warning of danger in a mine spoken in
the English language. 1t is known that
many certificates are now held by Polish
and hungarian miners. who do not un-
derstand the English tongue. A regular
traffic in fraudulent certificates has been
exposed in Montour county, which shows
that these foreigners can readily procure
miners directly contribute to their own
peril by taking these foreigners into their
mines in the guise of helpers snOtwithstlnd-
ng that they are unable to give an intelli-
gent warning of the approach of danger
to those miners working in their vicinity.
The bill will probably be approved BY the
labor combine which was organized from
among the members of the house Tues

that the truth dare not be printed con-
cerning a man unless he be a public
official or candidate for office is fact
yelled in obscurity; but it is common
knowledge that libel legislation for sew
eral centuries has blindly followed this
extraordinary doctrine, with as much
pertinacity and misdirected zeal as If it
had been the solemn conviction of the
makers of our laws that editors and
publishers, as u class, were devoid OF
moral principle and fit subjects for
strait jacket guardianship.
1t Is not gratifying to ones state pride
to think that Indiana, and not Pennsyl.

to Pennsylvania libel law state pride

Patriotism Above Partisanship.

The sentiment which has prompted
Senators Sherman and Quay to proffer
to the Cleveland administration their
best efforts in aid Of any wise measure
calculated to meet the financial needs
Of the government is well expressed by
Senator Cullom, in his recent speech
before the Illinois legislature acknowl-
edSing his reelection to the United
States senate. Senator Cullom said:
The interests Of this great people have
become so vast and complicated that large
expenditures are absolutely necessary.
We have the wealth and resources to
meet those expenses; 1t is only the part
OF honor to meet them faithfully and
promptly. our people are too proud and
patriotic to consider any other course for
one moment and demand with one voice
that this be done and our credit be main
tained at the highest point and never be
allowed to depreciate. 1t Is. therefore,
our manifest duty at the earliest possible
moment to increase the revenue until it
meets our expenses. Until that can be
done there Is no other course for us but
the sale of bonds. Upon this question
there Is no need of apprehension or alarm
among the people. This generation has
made a vast reduction in our war debt
and taken our fun share of this burden
from the national government and there
can be no greater danger or harm as long
as money can be borrowed at 2la or per
cent. In doing so, rather than allow the
national credit to suffer. We should not
needlessly Increase our bonded debt but
when money Is required to meet our pay
ments and maintain our credit II should be
done promptly and fearlessly In such
quantities as Will accomplish the end de-
sired and place our credit beyond any
Question. Unless this question of revenue
Is settled and the country placed on n
sound and solvent basis no permanent
or satisfactory solution OF the currency
question Is possible. When 1t is settled
ways will be found to reorganze and re-
form the currency and coinage, to de-
termine the amount and kind of money,
both paper and coin, which shall be is
sued. In this we must conform to and be
guided by the fundamental principle that
every dollar issued or authorized by the
American government must be equal in

Senator Quay's bill to create another
Federal judicial district in Pennsylva-
mia is of interest to Scrantonians in
many ways. If it passes, it will, among
other things, open up several new Of
fees, such as judge, marshal, district
attorney and clerks, and of course this
is a consideration not without cunse-
quenca TO many. The bin is Of interest,
also, to litigants in this section, since it
would spare the majority of those hav'
ing business in the federal courts from
the now awkward necessity Of frequent
ly making the long, tedious and eX'
pensive journey to Pittsburgh hard
ship out Of all proportion to the magni-
tude of the interests lying in this inn
mediate region.
Senator Quay's bill contemplates, in
addition to the two present districts
third district, to be known as the north
ern district, with the court sitting al
ternately at Williamsport and Scran'
ton, where the judge for the western
district now holds court at intervals.
The proposed new district will embrace
twenty counties, all but three Of which
are to be detached from the western
districts. Some of these are among the
most populous and important counties
in the interior fthe state, and are such
as would find either WilliamSport or
Scranton natural centers for the trans
action of business and generally easy
of access. For convenience. the district
is to have two divisions, one composed
of the counties to which Williamsport
is the handest and the other of the
counties nearest Scranton. The Phila-
delphia Press, despite the fact that this
arrangement would separate Pike,
Wayne and Monroe from the territory
now tributary to Philadelphia, says it
has evidently been well thought out.
The counties have been chosen with
very excellent discrimination, and from
the extreme eastern border of the state
all along the northern tier, and extend
ing to a line somewhat west of the CEN
ter, the additional court with the facili,
ties It would offer could hardly fail to
be regarded as a very decided convent
ence."
Thus indorsed, the bill will in all
probability soon become a law, if not
during this congress, certainly during
the one succeeding, and the first officials
Of the court thus established would in
that event be Democrats. Scranton, as
the largest city in such district, would
naturally be entitled to the judge. This
at once opens a field of speculation
scarcely second in importance to the
original measure itself. Would the
president appoint, as his selection for
the new judgeship. Mr. Amerman, ex,
Judge Smith, Mr.. Horn or Mr.. Comegys? /?
Or. il the judge should be denied u.s.
whom would he name for marshal or
district attorney? 1t Is worth while
keeping an eye on this measure There
may be music in it ere long.

How To Get an Office.

Philadelphia Record: "ln good old
times 1t was thought bad taste for Il man
to seek an office Nowadays the man
does not subject himself to that demean-
ing quest--he simply invents a new office,
sends the scheme to Harrisburg by way Of
Pittsburg, and settles down into his sina-
cure in the serene assurance that, thanks
to the benefcent tidal wave OF 1891, no
wolf can gnaw the paint off his front door
for four years to come"

the world must be as good as the best to
be found on the earth. These are ques-
tions upon which all patriotic citizens
should strive to agree in the interest of
prosperity and good government. and
should not be the grounds of contention
in partisan strife.
1t is proper ITO say that the financial
tangle would not have been so difficult
nor complex had the Democratic ma
jortty in congress evinced anything like
craftsmanship in its treatment of the
revenue problem. That difficulty, how
ever, is now upon us, and independent
of the politics of the situation the credit
of the government must and will be
maintained.

An Inherent inconsistency.

Nicholson Examiner: "The most sue
cessful method of dealing with crime is TO
win respect for the law. And this can
be done by the law better than the indi-
vidual. The very idea that we must E!ll
in order TO prevent others from killing IS
Of itself contradiction of the law. 1t as
serts that killing is not crime when dore
by several under the cover of the law,
ana out of a spirit of revenge; but when
one does 1t from the same motive it is a
crime"

The Republican party in Pennsyl-
vania stands doubly committed to COM
pulsory education. The elements of OPP
position to that measure which We're at
one time feared by the politicians have
not arisen; on the contrary many fac
tors once thought hostile are now, as a
matter of fact, aggressively friendly.
If the party leaders think it good poll
tics TO attempt any jugglcry with this
sentiment which they have twice en-
couraged, the masses are very likely to
disagree with them by an emphatic
majority.

Korean Traits,

Korean boys and men are good look
ing, even handsome, but the women and
girls are hideous. But it must be remem-
bered that a traveller only sees the lower
classes of the latter, who have to labor
from early morning till late night in the
fields the gardens the house and the sta
bles, while, except during the four months
of seedtiIne and harvest, the male peasant
does nothing but gossip and smoke. A
mans chief sources of expense lie in his
clothes and his pipe. The former, being
white, are soon worn ont by washing, and
their hats are very dear. Korean,
though he has a distaste for personal alb
luton, will have his clothes scrupulously'
clean and beautifully glazed.
The mandarins are remarkable for scru-
pulously clean, carefully tended, well
shaped, soft, white hands, without the
long nails affected by the Chinese. They
lay great stress upon small hands and feet
as points of beauty and showing high
breeding, and Koreans are said to be great
pedestrians and lovers of scenery, the men
often making pilgrimages TO places whence
q fins view DaaI be had.-Spectatox.

An Ell Reno Man --idnaps His Child at

WABASH, Ind, Jan. "A bold case
of kidnapping occurred here yesterday.
Phillip Scott of El Reno, 1. T., came
to Wabash and stole his 4-year- old
daughter from his divorced wife.
Scott married his wife in Kansas five
years ago, and they soon after moved
to Ell Reno. There he is alleged to
have maltreated her. and she pro-
cured divorce and the custody of
the child, and was brought to Wabash
by her relatives. Scott came here
and charged his ex-wife with inn
proper conduct Last Monday he as
saulted William McClellend because
of jealousy, giving him a terrific
beating. Yesterday morning he 1oi-
tered about Mrs. Scott's home until
the child appeared, when he seized
her and ran for the Big Four train,
southwark. Officers are after him.
Much excitement was caused by the
kidnapping, and the mother of the
child is frantic.

CoFFEEvHLE, Kan, Jan. 4.-One of
the most destructive fires in the his
tory of this city occurred yesterday
morning at o'clock. The large part
of what is known as the Masonic
block is in ruins. The contents of
nearly all the buildings were also
burned. A strong wind was blowing

as though the main business part of
the city would be destroyed. Perry
Easily of Skiatool1, Ind. Ter, was
caught by falling wall and crushed
SO badly that he will die. The loss
on the buildings and contents will

inside of three years. that this same
block has been partly destroyed by
