a luminous summary of already famil-

The Smith bill to prevent the wearing
Of religious garb by any teacher in
the public schools is in line with the
spirit of the constitution of Pennsylva-
mia, which wisely divorces church from
state in the school system of the state.
The teacher who tries TO wear, while in
the public school room, the distinguish
ing badge of any religious denomination
consciously or unconsciously does hurt
to the plain intent of the common
wealth's organic law. This type of in
structor is limited to only few locali-
ties; and there is no present reason for
any excitement because of the practice.
Nevertheless, it is proper that the legis-
lature should incorporate into law its
disapproval of the custom, so as to
prevent future misconceptions Of the
function of our public schools.

jority which took possession of the
house two years ago, there has not
been developed single new man of
force, character, or. talent. Out~of the
ruck of men and things swept up by
the Populist and other movements of pop
ular disfavor, there has risen above the
surface of house proceedings only one
man who cam command more than Ian
guild attention when he rises to ad-
dress the house. This man is Bryan, of
Nebraska. Judged by the poor sticks
who surround him, he is an orator, but
the trash printed from him In the Con-
gressional Record makes most melan-
choly reading"
1t is Il favorite accusation of the few
persons in the north who yet have the
hardihood to acknowledge partisan kin

the deterioration so noticeable in CON
gress Is not confined to the administra
TONS nominal friends. They especial
ly single out Thomas b. Reed for criti-
cism because of what they character
ize as his altered aspect under the in
iiuence of presidential aspirations. Mr..
Crawford, however. assigns another
cause. He claims that whatever modi-
tication Mr.. Reeds leadership may have
undergone has been due to the 'dreary
atmosphere of incompetence and inn
becility" in the Fifty-third congress.
In this depressing air. Mr.. Reed has
grown mild and lost his familiar tones
of sarcasm and satire because "in the
face of the leaderless gang of imbeciles
that swarm aimlessly over the house,

An Ignorant Opposition.

From the Williamsport Times
The Farr compulsory education bill has
passed second reading. The opposition 20
1t Is as ignorant as bitter. For instance,
Mr.. Herzog said that 1t could not be en-
forced and that Massachusetts had had a
similar law for 200 years that was prac-
tically a dead letter. Mr.. Herzog doesn't
know what he is talking about. Massa-
chusetts has not had a compulsory educa-
ton law for one-eighth that number Of
years, and since 1t has had one has Sc
cured the highest average attendance OF
school children of all the states In the
Union, according to recent reports. Mr..
HerZog should study question more
thoroughly before he makes such asser-
tions; at any rate. he should support his
arguments by facts.

Representative Fow who fought the Farr
bill on second reading. because he claimed
1t was an act of tyranny over parents,
has recently himself introduced n bill
that out-tyrannzes all the so-called ty-
ranny in the Farr bill ten times over
Upon complaint Of passenger railway Of
ncals lin Philadelphia who suspect that
there Is n class of people who encourage
their children to climb on railway cars, so
that the companies may be mulcted in
heavy damages when accidents occur to
their offspring, Mr.. Fow, to prevent this
practice, has framed n bill which pro-
vides that no minor child, not passenger,
shall be allowed on the platform or steps
of any railroad or railway car or omnibus,
and, when caught, the parents or guard
ians of such a, child shall be punished by n
fine from 81 to $40. II Is made the duty Of
policemen and constables to arrest any
child or children so offending, and they are
also subject to a fine not exceeding So.
This threatened mulcting OF parents for
the actions of children who are permitted
to roam the streets, instead of being sent
TO school, goes beyond anything ever sug-
gested In the affirmative discussion of
compulsory education.

The Grangers' Grab.

The governor will in all probability sign
the bill to establish a state cabinet depart
ment of agriculture. This measure adds
about $4,000 n year to the states expense
account: but inasmuch as its enactment
will stll the clamor of the granger ele-
ment for recognition. II may not be Il bad
bargain at that price. There IL no par
ticular reason why agriculture should
have cabinet secretary instead OF rail-
roading. manufacturing. commerce, or the
learned professions; but the farmers have
votes. and hence the bill has gone through
both houses with celerty. The signing OF
the bill will enable the governor to APP
point some one to 49, 500 office. one dep
uty, at $1,000, and three chiefs OF bureaus
at 81, 800 each.

Druggists on the warpn tn.

Much opposition Is masslng. from the
druggists of the state, against the drug
section of the Carothers pure food bill,
which requires all medicinal preparations
to have their contents printed In plain
English on the labels. The druggists con-
tend that the act of 1887 is sufficient to pre-
vent the adulteration OF drugs. The on
forcement of the law Is In the hands OF a
competent pharmaceutical committee. At
the present time thlrty-ilve suits for al
legged aduteration of drugs arc now pend
ing In western Pennsylvania. The drug
glsts think well enough should be left
alone, and they want the drug feature
eliminated.
