An Altoona War ming.

The city OF Altoona is exercised over
the fact that one of its volunteer fire
companies, because indignant at GER
tain action by councils, the other day
refused to respond to an alarm of fire,
thus permitting a valuable block of
buildings to be destroyed. The mayor
mas called special meeting of councils,
and it is thought the volunteer service
Will be superseded by a thoroughly Or
ganized paid department.
- We do not believe that any volunteer
company in this city would act like
the Altoona organization did. Upon
the contrary, we can cheerfully testify
to the generally high standard Of dis
cipline and of service which prevails
among the volunteer companies Of
Scranton. The argument for q paid
service Is not meant as reflection upon
the present service; and we think that
the majority of the volunteer firemen
OF the city recognize this fact.
But there can be very little question
that in the best of volunteer depar-
ments the discipline Is not what 1t can
be made where the members OF the
department are paid servants of the
city, subject to government by a re-
sponsible chief whose directions have
the force of law. If this were not true,
why should any Of the large cities have
a paid service? Volunteers can always
be had; yet the volunteer idea has been

FROM the syracuse foSt'
The day has long passed by when people
sneered at the Young Mems Christian as
sociation as milk and water institution
made up of lackadaisical young men, pale
faced, hollow chested. gloomy featured
and lacking in both physical and moral
courage. II there was ever any reason
for entertaining such an opinion. 1t has
been very completely removed. But the
sneers and the jests have passed away,
for the Young Mems Christian association
young man has come to stay. and every
body is glad that he has come. He Is the
exponent of a robust, muscular Christian
ity. He believes in manliness without
bravado, in courage without recklessness,
In practical morality, without cant, In Wig
orous healthfulness without sensuality or
brutality. Tho Young Mems Christian

wards for the next world. He Is Il very
imporatant factor in the business and

have confidence in him. and the average
business man would rather know that
his clerks spend their evenings at the
Young Mems Christian association build
ing than in lounging about the clubs or
loafing In saloons.

The Clash of Classes.

The man who reads the eastern news
papers, d at least that part of those
papers which is devoted to discussions
of finance, naturally derives the i'm
preston that nine-tenths of the ills
from which business at present suffers
are directly due to the refusal of the
west to accept, resignedly, currency
propositions made by the large gold
lending banking houses Of New York
and London. He does not stop to think
that what may be a good law for J.
Pierpont Morgan & Co., or for the
Rothschilds need not, of necessity, be
the best kind of law for the great
mass Of people who are not bankers nor
brokers nor discounters Of notes. He
hears only one side of the case; and
that special plea.
On the other hand, the man who reads
the western papers is apt to believe that
there Is a deep-dyed conspiracy among
the people of the east to force the coun-
try to q single gold standard, thus
adding largely to the vests previously
lHutptCuhNoo anu INV
ing the millions of dollars of western
capital which were invested in silver
mines under the promise that silver
would retain its place on q parity with
| gold as one of the two coin metals of
the government. These papers, reflect
| ing the wishes of the debtor classes and
of the owners of silver mines, want us
to coin, without limit, all the silver of
all the world, should 1t be sent into this
country, at ratio of 16 to 1. whereas
the bullion value of silver is today to the
bullion value of gold only as 80 is to /.
That kind of policy would tighten their
debts, initiate the value of their mines
and be, in other ways, good thing for
them. but it would not of necessity be
equally so good for the great mass of
people who are neither debtors nor sill
yer miners. The western reader too,
hears only one side of the case; and
that, special plea.
1t is time that a strong body of con-
servative men, in congress and else
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1895-02-23

where should have a clear word to say
in behalf of the great middle class Of
citizens who are almost ready to ex-
claim: "A plague on both your houses"
Whatever may be true of eastern ex-
tremists, only a few Of the great bulk
of common citizens in the east want to
see single gold Standard or want con-
gress to take orders from Wall street.
Nor do we believe that, except through
misrepresentation of the facts, the bulk
of plain westerners can be induced to
hold out for what is virtually silver
thrown in. They have no right to ask
congress to give them the whole loaf,
at the expense of all the rest of the
country; nor to expect the federal mints
to go on double turn in order that for
eign traders in silver bullion may make
big money out of our foolishness. There
is u sensible mean between these two
extremes which represents the common
sense of the question; and we are anx-
iously waiting to see keen-eyed Re-

their party's banner solidly thereon,
with the intention of fighting it out on
that line If it takes all summer.

ly a premoniton of one of the expe-

The Needs of Our Home Charities,

1t Is believed from the expressions
or individual opinion made while in
this city by the members Of the sub
committee on appropriations that the
various charitable institutions of Scran-
on which seek financial aid from the
state will receive liberal treatment. The
condition of the states finances and
more especially of its revenues renders
1t somewhat dubious whether every
penny asked for will be appropriated; {;
but it is believed that in the commit
tees necessary pairing down, our insti-
tutions will receive their just propor-
tion of the available moneys.
With reference to the West Side hos
pital, 1t appears that the sub-commit-
tee is disposed to wait for the collec-
tion of a local fund before voting it
state aid. 1t will be remembered when
the subject of 4 miners hospital for
this deserving portion of the city was
first discussed, The Tribune suggested
that the best way to get financial help
from the commonwealth would be to
go ahead with the project by securing
local contributions, leaving the matter
OF state appropriation for later con-
sideration. The state, in such mat
ters, has established the rule of help
ing those who first help themselves,
and 1t now appears that we were tn
tirely correct in our surmise that this
rule would not be waived in this one
instance.
That the western and northwestern
portion of the city needs first class
hospital IS not to be denied. The cart
ing over rough roads, for two or three
miles, Of those who have been injured
in the West Side mines Is tax upon
their strength and endurance almost in
human in its severity. The state could
not better apply $4,000 or $40 900 of it's
funds than to the correction of this
evil. But If the state shall see fit to
require, as a condition Of such appro-
priation, that a similar sum be first
raised by the locality to be benefited,
then the obvious duty of the generous
and public spirited citizens of Scran-
ton, in general. and of the West Side
and North End in particular is to get
to work with subscription papers with
out loss Of time.

LEGISLATIVE TOPICS.
Paw of Women Teachers,

Philadelphia Press; Representative Sey-
fert, of Lancaster, fs impressed with
the plant of the women teachers or
Philadelphia as to the inequality OF
salaries paid by the Philadelphia board
of education, and he has introduced
bill to meet the case. 1t provides that
females employed as teachers in the pub
lie schools of this state shall In all cases
receive the same compensation as Is al
lowed to male teachers for like service
when holding the same grade OF GER
tificates and employed to teach an equal
grade as male teachers. There Is mani
fest justice in this, but it is not certain
that its operation will be wholly favor
able to the public schools or even to the
women teachers. The latter are employed
in preference to men in nine-tenths OF the
teaching positions because they will give
the same quality of service for less money.
They are the cheapest to hire and the
board of education only does its duty as
trustee of the school fund when 1t goes
into the cheapest market to procure Its
teachers. Here and there. however. 1t
appears to the board desirable to employ
a man, and to get a capable man teacher
it is often necessary to offer him more
money than will employ an equally ga
pable woman. Under this Seyfert bill, If
enacted, to get u suitable man at his low
est price it would be necessary to raise
the salaries of all the women teachers of
the same grade to a higher figure than
they would be willing to sell their SER
vices for but for the fact that the law for
bids them to be paid less than man.

nearly like services. We are inclined 10

How TO Protect Quail.

New Castle News: The scarcity of quail
in Pennsylvania this year should teach the
lesson that there must be a law prohib-
ting their killing for at least three years
to come. Not only that, but the law now
in force, prohibiting the selling of the
birds, should be supplemented when the
open season begins after the long period
of protection, by making it unlawful 10
take dead quail out of the county in
which they We're killed. Missouri insti-
tuted such law after the long quail kill
ing prohibition ended and it is vigorously
enforced. The railways require their EN-
ployes to watch for any violation of the
law, and all judicial officers inflict prompt
and severe penalties. The consequence of
this protection of the quail Is that the
birds fairly swarm in Missouri, and the
stock, under present laws, seems likely
to be everlasting. Pennsylvania should
have such quail laws.

Need OF Compulsory Education.

Philadelphia Press: Mr.. Farr, of Lacka
wanna county, who has distinguished his
career in the legislature by his persist
ent advocacy of compulsory education, is
urging his bill again at the present ses.
sion. If Mr.. Farr succeeds in persuadinS
this legislature to pass it anew we be-
lieve it will go on the statute book. Re-
publican governors are not disposed to
stand in the way of any measure that
promises to make for the public education,
and Governor Hastings is least of all like
ly to follow his predecessor in this back
ward course. The compulsion proposed by
Mr.. Tarr is very moderate. 1t applies
only to children between the ages of s
and 13, and is satisfied with sixteen weeks
per year of schooling. Certainly this Is
little enough to insist upon as a prelimin-
ary to the exercise of the rights of ci.i-
Zenship in Pennsylvania. These children

ers and the safety of the commonwealth

teligence. The scant four months of
schooling yearly for five years Is sufficient
to enable them to read, and to such the
whole domain of knowledge is open IL
they seek it. and some share of 1t is GER
tain to reach them even unsought. The
fact that MIR. Farr has got a legislature TO
pass his bill before gives ground for hope
that this legislature may alse be per-
suaded by his arguments in favor of com
pulsory education. The state needs com
pulsory education-if for nothing else than
to secure the retirement of those Legislators

for their children, and that the state pub
