The Time for Action.

Governor Hastings, in signing the
Farr bill, shows" says the Philadelphia
Press, that he is alive to the demands
Of the time. Ignorant voting is the
bane and peril of popular government"
We will now" says the Pittsburg
Times. have what we ought to have
had years ago. It Is intolerable that a
country which has the doors of it's
citizenship wide open should leave to
choice or chance whether it's children
grow up in Ignorance or knowledge"
Even the journals which fought this
measure while it was pending before the
legislature. with the single exception of
the Philadelphia Record, are unanimous
in contending that the law should have
a fair test-which means first that
every community should have sufficient
school accommodations and, secondly,
that when these shall have been pro-
vided the law shall be honestly en-
forced
The time for theorizing upon this sub
ject has gone by. 1t is now time for
action. Enlarge the school rooms,
wherever necessary; and then see that
truant children are sent to school.

and that, even IL they had had need.
the constitution contained no provision
for the temporary appointment Of a
third house of one, though that one
happened to be Mr.. Kohlsaaht's Mr..
Ella.
This Is the status of affairs at last

declares he will earn his pay; and the
obstreperous legislature vows that IL he
tries to do that, 1t will smash every
bill in which he is interested. We sim
cerely trust that forcible collision
may be averted and that in due time
the sapient solons of Illinois will per-
ceive the error of their attitude. and
will be content to take Mr.. Ella to their
collective bosom, whether he have Il
certificate of election or only the phil
anthropic Mr.. Kohlsaaht's personal
check.

A President Who Is Shocked.

According to Secretary Herbert the
president is Shocked at the recent
prevalence of insubordlnation among
naval officers" AT no time since be-
fore the war, II is said. have there
been so many cases OF this character.
The secretary says there are more in
dictments pending now against naval
officers for offenses against the dis
cipline and good order of the navy than
at any time since before the civil war.
Naturally. BY a singular coincidence.
which must have escaped Mr. Herbert.
there is also less patriotism in the exc
cutlve branch of the government than
since before the war''-a good deal
less
The characterization at which the
good Mr.. Cleveland is SO greatly
grieved might perhaps yield to the
right kind of treatment. Has he tried
the right kind yet? Has he tried a
policy Of honesty patriotism and cam
dor in his treatment of the brave off,
GERS of our navy? Has he expert
mented with a course of executive con-
duct calculated to increase their respect
fer the American flag. wherever that
banner is unfurled 10 the breeze; and
designed to add to the satisfaction with
which an honest seaman may contem-
plate the fact that he is the wearer of
an American uniform? If not, the
present prevalence of insubordination
may be readily accounted for. without
much shame to those nominally guilty
of it.
AS a matter of fact there is some
thing IN the tonic life of the mariner
aboard ship which i'll fits him to a
policy of emasculated diplomacy and
the petty wreaking of private grudges
by those temporarily in power at Wash
ington. 1t is to be regretted that be-
fore picking at the loyalty of these gall
liant tars. Secretary Herbert and the
shocked executive did not first take the
trouble to ascertain whether there was
not something badly awry at their own
end of the cable.

Father Lambert's Argument.

Father Lambert, arguing in the Free
mans Journal in behalf of silver,
makes use of an illustration which has
local significance. There are" says
he, two kinds of coal mostly in use
bituminous and anthracite. Suppose
the common council Of New York city
were to make law forbidding the use
Of bituminous coal for heating pur-
poses. restricting 1t to the production of
gas alone, what would be the result
1t does not require much financial abil-
ity to see 1t. The result of such law
would be fall in the price of bitumin-
Gus coal and a rise in the anthracite.
Reason, n utility of one has been de-
stroyed and an extra burden has been
imposed on the other"
Thus 1t is, he argues, with gold and
silver. The recent tendency of the ma
tlons to spurn silver for money pur-
poses puts a double burden on gold and
throws an unusual volume of silver
bullion on the market, to be used, If
possible, In the arts. But the arts
have no use for so much silver, hence
silver as commodity declines, while
gold. as commodity, becomes con-
tinually more valuable. If the nations
should restore to silver its function as
a primary money gold might come
down and silver go UP in value, but the
two metals would meet at a fair medal
point; and thenceforward, bimetall-
ism would afford the world stable in
stead Of a fluctuatlng measure of
values.
Any one who will take the trouble to
look at the money plank Of the last Re-
publican national platform will per-
ceive that the Republican party then
declared unequivocably for bimetall-
Ism, meaning thereby the "use Of both
silver and gold as standard money"
The word standard" in that connec-
tion, Is significant. 1t did not mean

A New Idea in Law Taking.

Non-appreciation at the right time
seems to be the bane of the modern re-
former. Take, for instance, the case
OF the new owner of the Chicago Times
Herald, Mr.. Kohlsaaht. Mr.. Kohlsaaht.
all folk concede, is an honest man with
the best of intentions. In pursuance of
one of the latter he lately employed
John w. Ela- of Chicago, to go down
to Springfield and assist the Illinois
legislature in the capacity of "amicus
curiae," or friend of the court. Mr..
Ella was instructed not to supersede the
legislature, nor yet to abuse It, but
simply to help 1t. He was to advise 1t,
counsel with 1t, instruct 1t, warn It;
but under no circumstances was he to
lay violent hands upon 1t or refuse to
come to its aid in moment of crisis.
This project, as any one can see, was
pre-eminently philanthropic. Mr. Kohl
saaht didn't charge the legislature a
red cent for Mr.. Elias services. Neither
did he put up the price Of subscription.
Out of the goodness of his heart, he
volunteered 1t. and. single and unas-
sisted, he paid the freight. Under
these gratuitous circumstances, 1t
would naturally be expected that the
Springfield solons would jump at the
chance to have as an assistant SO emf
nent a lawyer as is Mr.. Ella. But, alas
for the perversity Of our sinful human
nature. the solons jumped not little
bit. Nay, rather did they do precisely
the reverse. 1t pains us to say so, but
the truth is. they kicked, and with

practica, Missionary Work.

The announcement of an intention on
the part of the Pennsylvania railroad
to establish a through train passenger
service between this city and Philadel-
phia by way of Wilkes-Blrre and
Pottsville has not yet, TO our knowl-
edge, been officially confirmed but the
experiment, if tried, ought to prove
successful Present facilities for get
ting from the third to the first city in
Pennsylvania are unnlturllly meagre;
and the opportunity to make this jour-
ney in approximately a straight line
without change Of cars, would no doubt
be welcomed by the Scranton public, as
it certainly would by those Philadel-
phians who have occasion to journey to
this city.
1t has long been the custom, born Of
convenient facilities of travel and COM
munication, for ScrantOnians to trans
act business in or with New York.
Philadelphia, equi-distant, has until re-
Gently been practically eliminated from
the calculations of our business men.
Without discussing the question of SUI
periority between Philadelphia and
Gotham, it is clear that for large city
in Pennsylvania to be entirely out Of
touch with the chief center of popula-
ton in it's own state is for that city to
rest under numerous disadvantages.
Not the least of these is a lack Of mu-
tual understanding. To many Phila-
delphians, it is to be feared that Scran-
ton has during all the years Of its re-
cent marvellous growth, been little
more than a semi-civilized mining
camp, instead of a thriving city Of
metropolitan size, appearance and in
ternal characteristics; while, in poet
ical reciprocity, It Is equally probable
that many Scrantonians have long re-
garded the vigorous and progressive
City of Brotherly Love not as the most
representative American city-which it
really is-but as kind of magnlfied
sleepy village, with neither energy nor
diversification of interests. We re-
member with what undisgulsed sur
prise so well-informed Philadelphian
as Hon. Charles Emory Smith last
autumn signalized his first visit to
Scranton by noting its unsuspected
magnitude and commenting upon the
extent Of his previous misinformation
with reference thereto; and no doubt a
fair balance could be struck by sending
some observant scrantonlan upon his
first tour of the newer Philadelphia
which has of late years arisen on the
site of the once "slow" Quaker city.
II the proposed through train service
shall be established, It will undoubtedly
prove to be practical missionary work
In much-needed direction.

DUE TO HEALTHY GROWTH.

From the Sunday News.
The property recently belonging to Judge
Hand has been purchased by The Tribune
Publishing company, who will erect a large
publishing and printing establishment on
the site, which in point of durability
beauty and utility will be oneo the finest
in this city. On the other side Of the
street j. w. Guernsey. the pianoforte and
music dealer, will erect n very large and
handsome building to be devoted to music
and the sale of musical instruments.
These new structures are indicative of
Scranton's natural growth and develop
ment. They are not forced upon a COM
munity which Is struggling to reach the
unattalnabe. but are the natural out
growth and development of our existing
state of affairs. The present premises
owned by both Mr.. Guernsey and The
Tribune Publishing company have been
found entirely inadequate for the increase
of their business and their present
cramped premises make restrictions upon
development which will be relieved In
ampler quarters.

VALUE OF ADVERTISING.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
1t Is not too much to say that the devel-
opment of modern civilization has been
assisted by no agent SO powerful as the
newspaper; and the progress Of all trade,
enterprise and Invention, which has dis
tlnguished this century, and more es-
pecially the last generation, has been ac-
tolerated by no means more effectual than
newspaper advertising. The advertise
ment brings together the seller and the
buyer, the supply and the demand. as In
former times. and to q comparatively lin
tied extent they were brought by the fairs
and market days. BY thus facilitating
and vastly increasing their means OF COM
munication. IT. has helped to reduce prices,
to stimulate the competition and emula-
tion from which comes Improvement In
production, and to multiply the demand
for tho materials and the appliances which
contribute to the advancement OF civiliza-
tion. The advertisement carries i'm

WISE OR OTHERWISE.

II is seldom that anybody gets the
advantage of Richard Harding Davis, but
if a. story be true which Eugene Field tells,
Paul Dana is one of the few entitled TO
distinction in this particular. At the Cen
tury club in New York great men meet
and confabulate, and 1t was there not
long ago that the author of princess
Aline" accosted the son of the dean OF
American journalism most enusively.
They say that Mr. Davis does not make
a practice of honoring Tom, Dick and
Harry with his attentions. on this par
ticuar occasion he was fiatteringly gra-
cious to Paul Dana. Instead, however, of
appearing pleased with this attention, Mr..
Dana seemed to be embarrassed, If not
actually annoyed. After Mr.. Davis had
passed on Mr. Dana stood lost in thought,
as If he were wondering who the dickens
that effusive young man was. Presently
ne seemed to pluck up courage, and he
followed Davis to where the latter had
withdrawn. you will pardon me-" said
Mr.. Dana, but although l am quite sure
| know you, and although your face is
very familiar to me, ! am wholly unable
to recall your name" Mr.. Davis was
embarrassed, of course. But he bowed
and smiled urbanely. 'Davs IS my name"
said he, graciously, Richard Harding
Davis. Davis? Davis?" echoed Mr..
Dana, thoughtfully. "Certanly-ah, yes,
now remember Richard Harding Davis,

For years or aye,
Tho I would fain sit kneeling at thy feet,
And looking in those eyes, 80 loving, true,
Till heav'n and earth together
Pass away.

What deep remorse must gnaw
Thy heart strings bare;
To think that thou hast thus made sepa-
rate
Two souls thou shouldst make one
Beyond repair.

The rumored engagement of Nellie Grant

to a Chicago Record writer's mind the
beautifully tender attachment which Cen

whose unhappy first marriage caused the
whole Grant family SO much misery.

Hastings went down to Long Branch to
visit with the Grants. He was told that
the general was sitting on the rocks over

presently discovered Grant perched on q
rock and gazing in apparent abstraction
over the waters. Hastings stole softly UP
and put his hands over Grants eyes. say

to say anything. Grant looked up.

pened? What is the matter?" demanded
Hastings Grant came pretty near break

himself together. 1--WE get bad news from
