The retrospect in another column
covering the lively times of 1871, when
the Young Mems Christian association
crusade against illegal liquor selling
forced the Liquor Dealers league to
agree, in open court, to observe the
law, and, in the words of Judge Hand
ley, reduced the court costs while rails
ing the license revenues 100000 year
will be read with interest, after the
interval of a quarter of a century. The
methods by which that campaign was
won We're heroic ones. They did not
stop at soda fountains nor deal in in
ferential evidence. They cut clear
through to the marrow of the central
iniquity; and forced a favorable result
by not giving up short Of one. 1t is
instructive to renew acquaintance
with those times, even though the COM
parisons suggested be not wholly COM
plimentary to the present.

The Proposed Charities Bill.

Pittsburg Commercal-Gazette: "a bill
has been introduced in the house at Har-
risburg abolishlng the state board of
public charities and establishing in its
stead a department of charities. The pro-
posed bill will make radical changes in the
management of these several institutions
1t places at the head of the department
n superintendent, who Is to be appointed
by the governor and serve for three years
with authority to appoint three inspec-
tors, five clerks and three deputies. The
superintendent will have conferred upon
him all the powers now vested in the
board of public charities, with full power
to visit and inspect the books of all insti-
tutlons receiving state aid. The purpose
of the bill is to secure better service
through concentration of power, throwing
upon one person the responsibility now
resting upon ten and giving him a sut-
ficient number of assistants to have the
work of the department more thoroughly
performed. The success of .he change
will largely depend upon the character
and fitness of the superintendent and the
manner In which the various duties shall
be defined. Some change In the law seems
desirable, but II Is possible to create an
expensive department without any cor
responding benefit to the public at large"

To the extent of a column in the Har-
risburg Patriot a Scranton Democrat
who does not chose to come out from
cover larrups William f. Hairity and
ex-governor Pattison for their alleged
joint betrayal of the Democracy or
Pennsylvania. This anonymous writer's
principal grievance against Mr. Harrity
is that the latter rose from the estate
of a Philadelphia ward politician to the
national chairmanship of his party. At
least, this seems TO be the main thing
charged against him. We do not ad-
mire Harrity and have no conceivable
interest in him, one way or anotner.
But it occurs to us that this Scranton
assailant of Harrity ought in common
justice to come out of ambush and do
his fighting in the open, like a man.

Boston has just dedicated a new
s5.OOO,OOO public library; and by a sug-
gestive coincidence the first person to
enter the new structure was one whom
the press dispatches describe as a
"broad-shouldered workingman." Yet
this was as it should be-. since 1t is the
workingman who is most benefited by
public libraries. Persons of wealth can
purchase libraries of their own, but
not even the widest dream of socialism
contemplates an estate for the indus
trial toiler sufficiently fortunate to ena-
able him to have access, in his own
home, to a collection of 100000 books
like that soon to be accessible to him
in the Hub. The public library Is
one of the chiefest ameliorating forces
of our present civilization, and that
city is fortunate indeed which has such
a force in active and successful opera
tion in it's midst.
