The Truths Unayailing Opposition.

Harrisburg correspondence of the Arch
bald Citizen: In the house Mr.. Farr's
compulsory education bill was reported
from the committee on education with a
favorable recommendation. The vote was
unanimous on the committee and the bill
will pass the house and senate with but
few votes against it, Marked copies of
the Scranton Truth We're received here
last week containing an account Of the
terrible death of a man in England, who
was imprisoned for not sending his child
to school. This article was the subject Of
much comment among the members, but
has not influenced the friends of Mr..
FaIr's bill. In fact when the provisions
Of the bill are generally known there can
he no opposition to it in any quarter.
Senator Vaughan has made ar
rangements TO have Congressman Curtis,
Of New York, come here and deliver an
address on behalf Of his bill to abolish
capital punishment Congressman Curtis
Is the leader of the movement to abol-
ish capital punishment and his bill to that
effect has passed the house Of representa-
tives at Washington.

wastes no time in vain regrets and is,
if we mistake not, in direct line for
future promotion. The Republican
party can well afford to keep favor

Personal Habits and Morals,

There appears to be somewhat of
disposition in Pittston just now to in
dulge in invidious personal comparisons
among the various candidates for city
office. While the personal character of
q candidate for responsible local office
is by no means matter of indifference
to the voters OF any community, it may
fairly be questioned whether anything
is ever gained for public morals by the
public holding up to scorn Of purely
personal weaknesses, as distinguished
from defects of public character.
For example, man may chew to-
bacco, to such an extent as to render
his presence distasteful to many per-
sons; but it would hardly do. in politi-
cal campaign, to pillory him for that
shortcoming if it was the only objec-
tion that could be brought against his
fitness for public office. Or, again, an
other candidate might, at rare times,
succumb to a weakness for liquor with
out necessarily sacrificing either his in
lGBTllS as IL tlllHtIl VI MS usefulness Ill
public trust To illustrate this point,
1t may be said that rumor for several
months, has in quiet way pointed to
alleged indiscretions of this kind on the
part of a number of officials in high
public position at Washington, one of
them, in fact, occupying the very high
est office in the gift of the people. Yet
no one has yet, in a public manner
turned these asserted personal faiings
into a weapon Of attack. BY common
consent, these vague and indefinite
too unimportant, in q public sense
whether true or false, to receive digni-
fed attention.
The criticism that counts. before in
telligent taxpayers. is that which points
out elements of unfitness in candidates
for office that would. in the event Of
their election, cause or threaten q de-
probation in their public services. 1t is
pertinent, upon sufficient grounds. to
question candidates honesty and his
loyalty to the law. The man who
hopes to be put into a position where
it will be his duty to handle public
funds or to execute laws should be an
honest man, and should not be. by
habit, a law breaker But to raise
questions as to the food that ne eats,
the liquor that he drinks, the clothing
that he wears or the habits that pertain
exclusively to his individual private life
is, In the majority of cases. to embark
upon crusade that will excite mis-
Interpretation and cause needless ami
mosities and resentments. The voter
may pass on these points in the privacy
of the election booth with better grace
than the newspapers may in the white
light of garish publicity"

The casting of "tiroad upon the

1t is seemingly rather late in the day
for the citizens Of Sullivan county to
discover that they do not care to stand
the expense of costly judicial election

to remember that the man whose per-
