Crush 1t Out.

There Is a tendency these days to
overestimate the membership and over
rate the Importance of the secret. pro-
scriptive society known as the Ameri-
can Protective Association. This is
we'll Illustrated in Michigan. where the
ex-grand lecturer of the order, Walter
Sims has recently confessed that in
stead of including 100000 persons within
its ranks in that state, as was generally
supposed, the membership never num-
bered more than 5000. most of whom
are now sick of their folly and anxious
to drop out.
We have heard men say that the
American Protective Association men,
bership in Pennsylvania Is as large as
260,000, but we would feel confident in
wagering that 1t never approximated
to one-tenth that sum. At recent
effort to locate the branch in this city
we have been informed that not enough
persons attended to fill out a valid
charter, and the formation of the pro-
posed lodge had consequently to be
abandoned. 1t is reasonable to believe
that a similar disproportion between
smoke and fire exists in many other
localities where this wrong-principled
institution is accustomed to WELD polit-
ical power under false pretences.
But whether its membership in Penn
sylvania be 5000, $4,000 or 100000. the
fact is none the less clear that the
methods of the order are odious and re-
pulsive; that its manner of attracting
attention is vicious and hurtful, and
that the only sure consequences of its
continued propaganda are strife among
the ignorant or eXcitable, and regretful
disapproval from conservative defenders
of law, order and true religion. The
duty of every rational citizen is to lend
the whole weight of his influence to the
crushing out of this viperous conception
of patriotic duty.

A Truce to Cheese. narinn

The joint estimates Committee last
evening did something by way of cor
recting its blunder of last Friday In re-.
lation to the Nay Aug park appropria-
tion-but not much. 1t sub-divided the
labor item so as to devote s, 900 to the
execution of plans OF park improve
ment, and specified that the other $500.
with $50 additional, should be expend-
ed for landscape engineering. For this
sensible suggestion the public Is indebt-
ed to Select Councilman Williams. of
the Fifth ward, who seems to have been
the first member of the committee to
recognize the absurdity Of trying to
execute plans before there were any
plans to execute.
But the fundamental absurdity still
remains of detailing only one policeman
to patrol u section of country for which
a force OF ten men. mounted, would be
none too large. Councils might supply
this lone policeman with bicycle or q
field glass: or 1t might put him in a
tall tower. with extended larlats for use

jects to all religious intolerance, what
ever form it may assume, whether 1t be
leveled at mems coats or consciences."
We also object most emphatically to
religious intolerance, whatever form it
may assume. But we do not call intol-
Grant the constitution of Pennsylvania,
which expressly forbids the recognition,
by law, Of any religious establishments
or modes Of worship; nor do we believe
that u Quaker or Shaker or Pedo-
Baptist or any other Protestant sect,
of whatever variation, any more than n
Catholic. Jewish, infdel or agnostic
organization, has right, within the
meaning of the constitution. to ulitize
the strong influences of the public
schools. in whose support citizens of all
faith are taxed, for the purpose, avowed
or intentional, of sectarian proselyting.
What Is law for one sect should be law
for all; and to every one the state
should say: Hands off the public
schools"
1t We're well, perhaps had this ques-
tion not been raised. The discussion of
1t, unless governed by charity and per-
fect fairness is apt to excite bitterness
through the misapprehensions to which
1t gives birth. But now that II has been
brought into public prominence. we
take occasion to declare our belief that
the American people, whatever their in
dividual modes Of worship, will not WILL
ingly see their public school system d.
verted by any scot or faith to the pur-
poses of UNCONVENTIONAL proselyting.

But unless it discovers some such plan
of spreading flve-feet-ten Of bluecoat
over nearly a square-mile Of park ter
ritory, it will reduce the whole govern
ment of the park to the dimensions of
a burlesque. The sapient gentlemen of
the estimates committee, If 1t is not too
late, should be impressed by their con-
stituents with the fact that the people
were not jesting when they declared, by
an overwhelming vote. in favor of Nay
Aug park. They should awaken to the
fact that the public was very much in
earnest.

Time for a Republican Revival.

Among the suggestions in the annual
report of President L. P. Kingsbury of
the Central Republican club, read last
evening. was one that. in view of the
recent change in the club bylaws ad-
mitting good Republicans, resident
within the county, 1t ought to be pos
sible very largely to increase the club
membership, now numbering l57. The
advantages of such membership require
no explanation. AS an aid to efficient,
Intelligent and influential civic service
within party lines, the Republican club
is today recognized as of indispensable
Importance and merit; and there is no
valid reason why the membership of the
Central club should not widen until it
shall include a magnificent standing
army of stalwart Republicans repre-
sentlng every township in the county.
1t is desirable that this extension of
membership should not be long delayed
1t Is true that the year 1895 is not. in
itself, one of exciting magnitude, pollt-
ically; but as less than fifteen months
separate us from national conven-
ton, the Importance of perfecting the
party organization in anticipation Of
that campaign will be evident to every
Republican who takes interest in his
party's and. through 1t, his country's
welfare. The location of the Central
club in an elegant and commodlous
home; its representative present men,
bership and the praiseworthy part 1t
has taken in past campaigns combine
TO recommend it to the favor of all
earnest Republicans. who can do no
better service for pure politics and
clean government than by enrolling
themselves in its energetic ranks.

An Opportunity of q Lifetime.

Sheriff Clemons is to be congratulated
for making determined and success
full effort to prevent the occurrence
within Lackawanna county of the re-
cent prize-fight between Courtright and
Carroll. The fact that the principals
in that illegality found no such inter-
ruption upon Luzerne county territory
affords a suggestive contrast.
1t is probably true that Luzerne coun-
in the United States We recall the
name 'f no other county equalling it
ers un2unished within its borders, the
numner of violations Of the liquor law

cou. agement offered in It to mlscel-
laneous crimes. If one had taken a
slice cut of Califo. l. la during vig!lan;e

not have been so SCI ious as is The pres

This Indifference in the mother coun-

instincts of the people will be-
come alert and motive. If, therefore,
