more extensively violated than this.
nor with greater impunity. Consider
Ing the large number of men and boys
who transgress this law and constant
~ go armed, the number of cases that
come into the courts is surprisingly
small. There is one remedy, which If APP
piled vigorously, would greatly diminish
the custom of carrying concealed deadly
weapons. Constables and police Off
GERS constantly make arrests of men
and boys for all manner of offenses.
and we have 1t or the authority of an
old officer. that more than seventy per
cent of those arrested have deadly
weapons concealed on their persons.
Every such person should, in addition
to the offense for which he is primarily
arrested. be held on the charge q car
rying concealed deaoiy weapons. If
this were done fewer of the rowdy ele-
ment in every community would be
found with revolvsrs in their hip pock-
cts.
The existing laws on the subject of
carrying deadly weapons, in this state
are sufficiently stringent to answer every
reasonable purpose. but the laws are
not enforced, and might almost as well
be repealed. There is only one way 10
enforce respect for and obedience to
these laws, and that is by prosecuting
every person found carrying con-
cealed deadly weapons, unless duly
authorized by the proper authorities to
do so. Let policy be adopted that will
make it hazardous to carry concealed
weapons in peaceable community and
the practice now so common will be
greatly diminished. The result will ne
fewer murders and serious woundinSs
Such a policy would have specially
wholesome effect upon the ignorant for
eign element in the coal regions. In a
recent fight in one of the mining VIII
lagos in this valley, in which fourteen
persons engaged not less than eleven
drew revolvers. Every one of the
eleven should have been arrested for
carrying such weapons, and the full
penalty of the law imposed. How many
of the men and boys arrested for all
kinds of offenses by our police are found
with deadly weapons in their pockets?
And how many of them are proceeded
against for this offense? An answer to
these questions suggests a practical
remedy that should be applied for the
evil complained of.

ceive the committee appointments
which they sought for at the hands Of
Speaker Reed was because they opposed
Senator Quay in the recent state chair
manship fight. We do not believe that
the present speaker was actuated by
any such ignoble motive as would ap-
pear from our Philadelphia contempo-
rary's insinuation. The Inquirer, how
ever, as the self assumed organ of
Senator Quay, might well initiate the
senator's own discretion in its refer
ences to the late unpleasantness and not
sprinkle sand In a machine that rather
needs fabrication.

An Invaluable Lesson.

The developments of the past two or
three days in the speculative markets
show that in the present united effort
OF the American nation through it's con-
gress and it's president to secure defin-
ite and final recognition of the Monroe
doctrine by Europe, we shall have to
sustain not only the brunt of Europe s
awakened diplomacy but also the con-
centrated endeavor of European bank
ing and brokerage interests to discredit
and PROSTATE the value of foreign-h held
American securities.
Nevertheless, the establishment of the
Monroe doctrine as O recognized prin-
ciple Of Occidental colonization were
worth this double burden and cost; and
the American people will feel nothing
but contempt for those denationalized
automata of Wall street who, at the
first appearance Of the enemy's outrid-
ers, begin to face toward Washington
and set up a cowardly howl for Ameri-
can surrender. 1t is, of course, unfortu-
nate that because of our long-continued
carelessness in permitting the usurers of
New York and London to gain the mas
terry over our chief industries we should
now be so poorly prepared to fortify our
securities from this unjust attack. We
are precisely in the position of the man
In the fable who had put a viper in his
bosom to warm it, and who, when the
reptile was warmed, received not its
gratitude but its fangs. We have fool
ishly thought so little of our own finan-
cial and commercial independence that
we have all but given it over as a free
benefaction to our worst enemies and
bitterest rivals; and now, at the first
sign Of possible trouble, they show
their appreciation Of our sympathy by
combining to attempt our ruin.
Yet, after all, it is we'll that this les
son should have come before we, in our
carelessness, had grown also helpless.
The losses of the moment, although
painful. will in future days be recol-
lected no doubt with pleasure If they
shall now teach the American people
to depend upon their country's illimit-
able resources and upon their own in
domitable energy, rather than upon the
uncertain favor of European money
lenders. We are confident that our fell
low-countrymen can hold their own on
any fair field Of open competition; in
the markets Of trade and speculation as
well as upon fields Of battle. The present
setback is due to the onslaught's un.
eXpectedness, and not to their own in.
aptitude for defense.
Let us hereafter sell our securities al
nome; and when we shall have sold in
the home markets all that those mar.
kets will take, let us stop selling and II
necessary make haste more SLOWLY
rather than to put ourselves once more
at the mercy Of the international pawn.

The retirement of Mr.. Carl McKin-

the Lackawanna Iron and Steel COM
pany Is a circumstance that will occa-
sion general regret. Mr.. McKinney's
health, which for some time has not
been good, has recently taken such a
turn as to preclude his early resump-
tion of official duties and for that rea-
son he has resigned. Mr.. Henry Web

The Gamblers of Wall Street.

A true word and timely one is thus
spoken by the Chicago journal:
This Is not nation of speculators. II
does not In any sense s rely FOR naPp. ainns
of stocks on. Wall street. If the English
holders of American securities want to
sell. now Is their opportunity: Let them
pile their stocks on our market until II
breaks so low under the load that Amers-
can gold will come from its hiding places
TO buy honest American stocks for 10 or .
cents on the dollar. The vague possibih-
~ of war does not rob these stocks of one
dimes worth of intrinsic value. Even war
itself would only subject them to tenn
porary cloud The country is greater than
Wall street. and IL will cleave to the prin-
ciple of the Monroe doctrine because II Is
our country's doctrine and tends TO the
ultimate security of every dollars worth
IN this panic OF foreign investors. If this
manic shall prove to the world that the lust
for gold in America will always be subor-
dinated to a nobler. broader national spirit
II will he n cheap lesson. What are trm-
bling stocks to the fusng of peoples
patriotism In the heat of a common desire?
The proposition before the business
men of New York city is this: They
have in past years peddled American
securities among foreign investors who
know little and care less about Ameri
can institutions Now that our rela
tions with England are momentarily
strained. some of these investors, partly
in pique, partly in panic. want to un-
load. If the securities they hold have
any intrinsic worth, it ought to be
welcome opportunity for Americans to
buy them back again at less than their
real value. If not. there will be small
pity for the loser. 1t need not be feared
that any reputable American security
will be permanently injured by reason
of a course of action at Washington
necessary to the upholding of American
institutions.
The attitude of the spectators in
Wall street toward the president and
congress is selfish and unmanly. 1t
shows that they are poor guides to
what constitutes sound financial or a
sound any other policy. They are
gamblers, pure anu simple. The pa
triotism of the American people will
not be subordinated to gamblers greed
for gain

POLITICAL POINTS.

BY a queer coincidence dozen Pennsyi-
vania state senators found themselves
In Washington ON the same day last
week, and by another queer coincidence
they all called on Senator Quay at the
same hour. What is equally queer Is that
all of them were Republican hold-over SEN
ators. and when the party left the sena-
torial mansion each of the dozen de-
clared that private business had taken
him to Washington and 1t just so hap
pened that they met a the residence of the
senator at the same hour. The skeptical
correspondents say 1t was pre-arranged
affair and that the object of the gathering
was to discuss the Cameron succession.
Senator Vaughan was among the number.
10
The Washington correspondent of the
Wikes-Barre News-Dealer has inter-
viewed Senator Quay on the subject of
the selection of LuZerne delegates to the
national convention and reports the SEN
ator as declaring that he will permit the
Republicans of that district to select their
own delegates without interference from
him. Such non-intervention will doubtless
be appreciated by the Republicans of Lu-
Zerne.
