NOISY, BUT SCARCE.

Representative Tawney, Of Minnesota,
has at all events contributed a good story
to the free silver campaign, Mr. Tawneys
story is as follows: "Out in my district
there is good deal of swamp land. and at
night the musical croak Of the frog can be
heard through the land. One time a
stranger came to that part of the couu-
try. He wandered around among the
swamps and listened to the frogs. Fin
ally he decided that 1t would be good
idea to catch some of the frogs and sell
them. His heart bounded high with hope,
and he went to the proprietor of the hotel
and said:
Don't you want to buy carload OF
frogs legs?"
"The proprietor said that he did not
know what in the world he would dc
with so many. But the fellow persisted
He said:
"'Well, make 1t n wagon-load.'
"The hotel man said that he had no use
for them, but that he might use about q
dozen or so.
"'All right said the fellow, L will bring
them in tomorrow
"The next day he wandered into the no.
tel with four little frogs legs and sickly
smile on his face. The proprietor looked
at him and said:
"I thought you could get carloadv
"The fellow said Il thought that would
be dead easy from all the noise that they
were making out there, but this Is all
could find.'
That" says Mr.. Tawney, "is the way
with the silver men. They are making a
great fuss, but when you go to look for
them n few stragglerS are all that can be
found"

Dramas of PietY.

An interesting theatrical experiment
was tried at Meadvile last week when
employes of the Chautauquan printing
establishments under direction of the
proprietor, DR.. Flood, produced for the
benefit of charities Charles Barnard's
drama of piety, entitled "The Blue Bon
net" The play was dramatization of
a touching story which has appeared as
q serial in recent issues Of the Chau-
tauguan magazine. letter to the
New York Sun thus describes its mo-
tive:
The theme of the story is the love of hui
manity: Eleanor Brown, a rich young wo-
man of New York, thinks her father
wronged some poor people, and she re-
solves to visit them in the slums OF the
east side and right their grievances. just
before the play begins her carriage runs
over Ensign Emily Brown of the Slum
brigade, a beautiful girl who Is really,
though they do not know 1t, her yep
sister. When the injured girl Is brought

SCRANTON, APRIL 80, 1895.

The announcement last evening, at
the twenty-seventh anniversary of the
Scranton Young Mems Christian asso-
citation, that Mrs. Francis a. Hackley,
of New York city, who, as the daughter
of John Raymond, had passed her
younger days in this city, had donated
SIS, 900 for the establishment Of school
for manual training, in connection with
the local association, and to be called
by her name, is a decidedly pleasant
surprise. The advantages of such an
institution are manifest. The need OF
them has long been felt. And in decid-
ing to supply that need Mrs. Hackley
not only establishes the finest kind of
permanent memorial, but manifests
keen discernment in the selection OF
medium and a site.

DAVIS Contribution TO Literature.

From the washington PoSt.
Augustin DAILY has given one phrase TO
American literature that whatever may be
its defect as a logical statement, has taken
such deep root I'm current English that 1t
is doubtful whether ii can possibly be
eradicated, and probably never will be dis
lodged. The phrase Is: "Of contempo-
raneous human interest" Mr.. DAILY en-
ployed 1t originally in describing one of
his adaptations on the play bill. The lit
erary critics scored the phrase unmerci-
fully at the time and tried to ridlcule 1t
out of existence, but 1t seems that despite
the Irresistible conclusion that no play
could possibly possess any interest for
trees or cattle as distinguished from "hu-
man creatures, Mr.. DAILY had filled n
long-felt want with IT, for 1t Is now used
with increasing frequency. Doubtless ev-
cry one who uses 1t does 80 under mental
protest charging the responsibility on
DAILY, but 1t is one of those winged phrases
that drops in like an old-tme friend whose
clothes are not above criticism

Announcements.

We take pleasure in announcing that
Colonel ]. D. Laciar, for many years
editor of the Scranton Republican, and
one Of the foremost political writers in
Pennsylvania, has accepted the position
of manager of The Tribune's interests
for Luzerne county. Colonel Laciar
will have general charge, ,editorially and
otherwise, of this papers growing in
terests in his home county, and will in
addition contribute of his skill and ex-
perience to The Tribune's daily pro-
gress.
1t would be superfuous to speak to
the people of Northeastern Pennsyl-
vania concerning Colonel Laciar's quail
ifications as live and honorable jour-
nalist. Theiquarter of a century during
which his brain and pen have shaped
the trend of Republican opinion in
ASersasol and surrounding territory is
his sufficient enconium. We can only
regard as exceedingly fortunate the op-
portunity which enables us to secure
his efficient cooperation in contem-
plated extensions of The Tribune's cir
culation and influence.

Flesh Diet and Civilization.

The theories of the vegetarians have
seldom been more forcefully propound-
ed than by r. G.. Abbott in the last
number of the Metaphysical Magazine.
The labor of the world, he aflrms, has
always been done by those nourished
on cereals, fruits and vegetables. Thus
while the carniverous quadrupeds, such
as the lion and the tiger, are strong,
fierce and deceitful; it takes herbivor-
GUS beasts, such as the OK, the COW and
the horse, to draw burdens and perform
field work. ut is said" he tells us,
shat about the period of the reign of
Henry VIII, the regular breakfast Of
the queens maid of honor was gallon
of ale and a chine of beef. Today, q
maid of honor with such an appetite
would be ostracized from any court in
Europe" The sensual excesses and bru-
talities of the feudal period were
understand, not by perverted religious
teachings, but by the excessive eating
coarse, wild meats and the drinking
strong liquors. The growth of agri-
hlture is coincident with the develop
hent of a superior civilization.
For the artificial, sedentary, indoors
xistence Of the present time" our au-
vthor continues flesh food is positively
harmful. It is inflammatory and stim-
| ulating, and is the cause of many dis
orders especially when in combination
with other fats and sweets. Cholera is
said to be twice as fatal among flesh
eaters as among vegetarians. All
meats are liable to produce cancerous
hnd tuberculous maladies in their con-
bumers The brutalizing effect of an
Exclusively animal diet is almost as
reat as d too free indulgence in alco-
rhol. A cereal and vegetable diet, on
the other hand, rs free from infamma-
y tory tendencies, 1t relieves scrofulous,
cancerous and tuberculous symptoms.

labor, with a decrease in nervous excit-
ability and strain" Athletes trained

Where viii Ii End?

There is nothing at all improbabl
about the report that England. having
found that it could do as it pleased with
Nicaragua, Notwithstanding the Mon
roe docrine, now proposes to apply a
similar method of treatment to little
Honduras. Indeed, we cannot refrain
from admiring the shrewdness with
which Great Britains astute diplomat
lists improve the opportunities for Gen.
trail and South American land-grabbing
opened to them by the convenient in
difference of our present state depart
ment. In the language of the curb
stone, England knows when she has
good thing, and proposes to push it
along.
We do not like to criticize the con-
duet of Secretary Gresham throughout
this series of Anglican aggressions on
the American continent. His is the one
office in our government which ought to
have behind it the moral support of an
united public sentiment. There should
be nothing partisan in the upholding
of our good name abroad; nothing call
ing for factions or factious discussion.
1t should be as desirable to Democrat
as to n Republican that the influence Of
the United States should predominate
in the political affairs of the western
hemisphere; that the strategic points in
this and in the South American conti-
hent should be occupied by powers
friendly to this government and in SYM
pathy with it's institutions. Should a
contrary policy prevail and bring on its
probable result of war, Democrats
would suffer equally with Republicans
under the disadvantages consequent
upon the occupation of these points by
q hostile power.
Yet it is a singular fact that the
policy pursued by this administration
in it's treatment of foreign complca-
tions seems to be deliberately calcu-
lated to weaken our influence and to
strengthen the influence of those ma
tions most likely at some future time
to become our enemies. Whether this
arises from Indifference to concerns Of
state beyond our borders or from ina
bility to cope with the diplomatists of
other countries, the result Is identical.
American prestige is being weakened;
the traditions of a century are being
spat upon and the burden of righting
these Democratic blunders, which viii
fall upon Secretary Greshams success
sor, is being made, deliberately 1t would
sometimes seem, large beyond sense or
reason.
Where will this stupid un-American-
ism end?

The complaint of the property owners
along Franklin avenue at the unsatis-
factory condition of that thoroughfare
near the Spruce street corner is entirely
reasonable. The company which tore
the street up should be made to relay
the disturbed asphalt in as good condi-
tion as it was originally; and no time

corporations which do business upon
them has been long endured with a
Christian fortitude which may soon
cease to be virtue.

THE HEIGHT OF HAPPINESS

The once ilustrious golden calf is scarce
ly in 1t now
Beside his modern prototype, the conse-
Grated COW;
The bovine of metallic fame is sadly in the
rear,
And suffers by comparison with our pro-
sale steer;
Most certainly twere cheaper to consgn
unto the kettle
Anatomy in portions from the calf of pre-
cious metal
For tits quite beyond the reach of any
n E common mortal now.
To feast upon the carcass of the awe-in'
spring COW;
Research in ancient history produces
naught to beat
The fabulous extortion Of the present
price of meat.
And II the choice of earthly gifts was left
for US to take,
What more could avarice desire except a
sirloln steak?

So successful was this amateur per-
formance that DIR. Flood Is now under
stood to be seriously considering the
advisability of sending a professional
company out next season to produce the
play in regular theaters. And, indeed
why should he not? We take it that
the old-time prejudice of religious peo-
pie against the stage was directed, not
against the drama itself, but against
abuses of that legitimate branch of
| idcalistic expression. In what labor
could DR.. Flood engage more commend
able that that of endeavoring to reform,
the theater so as to put its undoubted
influences to good instead of to bad
uses?
The dogma that art must needs di.

long sway; but recent events clearly

At n time when meat foods are rising
