Wise Words of Line of n.

In this period of class pickering and
Industrial unrest, II is both timely
and profitable to recall the pregnant
words of Americas greatest executive.
Abraham Lincoln, expressed in his
message to the second session of the
Thirty-seventh congress. He said:
Monarchy itself is sometimes hinted at
as u possible refuge from the power of the
people. In my present position I could
scarcely be justified were I to omit rails

nor fitting here that q general argument
should be made in favor of public instltu-
tons. but there is one point with Its con-
nections not SO hackneyed as most 9TH
ers to which l ask a brief attention. 1t
is the effort to place capital on an equal
footing with, II not above. labor in the
structure OF the government. It Is as
sumed that labor Is available only In con-
nection with capital, that nobody labors
unless somebody else owning capital some-

Live and Let Live.

There were some statements in the
recent annual address of President
Roberts to the stockholders of the
Pennsylvania Railroad company which
deserve to receive thoughtful attention.
After speaking at length upon the in
fiuence of the recent depression in busi-
ness upon railway earnings, he con-
tinued:
Tho return that your property makes to
its shareholders Is iniinitosimal as com
pared with the return 1t makes to the
great country which 1t traverses. 1t has
always been a thought In my mind that
the larger railways. at least. of the coun-
try owe largely to the public and to the
states which gave them birth, and the
management OF the Pennsylvania Rail-
road company has always been mindful
of that. l take 1t that the policy which
has been pursued by this company from
its first inception. now forty eight years.
has brought with II the prosperity which
you now enjoy; and when the MANAGE
ment OF your company departs from that
rule and looks more to q return to its in
dividual shareholders than II does to the
interests OF the community which II Is
called upon to serve, from the moment il
turns It's mind in that direction IL will
be In IL struggle with those communities.
But continued effort to serve them, as
we believe we have. will always DE met,
In my judgment, at least, with a generous
return from those communities sooner or
later, and give to you that measure of
prosperity which you are entitled to re-
ceive.
1t fairly deserves to be said for the
Pennsylvania Railroad company that in
the main 1t has lived up to these broad
gauged principles. They are the only
principles the consistent observance of
which can save individual or corporate
ownership of railways from absorption
by the state. The public c-be-d-d''

the no-less dangerous speculative policy
Of the senior Gould, in which the only
factor considered was how to strength

accordance with the requirements Of sue

legitimate fruit In public antipathy to
railway corporations, as absurd in logic
as tits natural in fact.
'Llve and let live" is a good rule to
follow, whatever ones line Of business.

Mr.. WilIard's Candidacy.

With characteristic frankness, h. y.
Willard, esq, of this city, has an
nounced his candidacy for the position
of Judge of the Superior court of APP
peals, an appointment which will prob
ably soon be within the gift of Cover
nor Hastings. AS to his fitness for
judiciary honors, it would be superfiu-
Gus to speak, If these words reached no
other eyes than those of residents of
Lackawanna county, by the bar Of
which he is recognized as one of the
most successful and accomplished at
torneys and practical men-of-affairs in
this portion of the commonwealth.
The candidacy of Mr.. Willard, how
ever, appeals to the whole state, since
If successful it would place upon the
bench of the proposed new court one of
the most distinguished students and
practitioners of law in Pennsylvania; a
man thoroughly familiar with the intri-
cate details of mining litigation, which
would undoubtedly form large pro-
portion of the Superior courts busi-
ness; and finally, a citizen of influence
who, although often importuned to do
so by party associates, has never be-
fore sought public office. OF Mr.. Will
lard's services as stanch and liberal
Republican it will be unnecessary to
speak further than to bear public testi-
mony to his sterling party loyalty and
to the unvarying generosity with which
he has repeatedly answered the calls of
his party upon his time and influence.
We have every reason to believe that
Mr.. Willard will not only be the unani-
nous choice of the bench and bar of
his home county, but that his candidacy
will receive the cordial Endorsement Of
the bench and bar of every adjoining
county-partly in compliment to Mr..
Wizards enviable personal and profess
sional standing; and partly, also, in
recognition of the rightfulness of the
claim OF the chief city in the anthracite
region for representation on the bench
of tribunal to which it contributes a
commanding percentage of litigation.
If in response to this influential indorse-
ment Governor Hastings should select
Mr.. Willard as one of the four Republi-
can judges of the coming Superior
court, we believe that every prediction
| would be abundantly realized.

The Case of Spa ngIer.

Representative Spangler, Of Cumber-
land county. in his recent incendiary
talk in the state house Of representa-
tives, represented only his own eccen-
tricities. The great majority of the
good people of Pennsylvania are not, at
this writing, sitting up nights in agony
lest the Catholic church or any other
church shall suddenly make way with
their liberties of thought, speech and
action. With some minor exceptions,
chiefly fanatics, the people of this COM
monwealth know that in all the essen
tials Of good and loyal citizenship, in
devotion to country and in willingness
to advance the general welfare, their
fellow-citizens of Catholic affiliations
are in no sense different from Protest
ants. Their religious views are their
own, to which they have an indefeasi-
BILE right; but on questions of civic gov
ernment they stand, and always will
stand, upon footing of perfect equal
ity with all other good and loyal citi-
zens, Of whatever faith or creed.
We still hold that the general aim of
the bill which Mr.. Spangler made the
pretext of his explosion is a good one.
We do not believe that any religious
denomination ought to proselyte in the
public schools, or that the effort to sur
round those schools with proper safe
guards can fairly be regarded as
thrust at the Catholic religion any
more than at the various branches of
the Protestant faith. There are certain
constitutional points connected with
the Smith antl-garb bill which seem to
us to render its enactment of doubtful
utility. But there can, 1t would seem,
be no just objection to the broad prin-
ciple that the public schools should be
kept scrupulously free from sectarian
influences, whether those influences be
exerted by Protestants, Catholics,
Defsts, Atheists, Agnostics or any other
variety of believer or non-believer. The
case Of Spangler itself supplies a vivid
illustration of the mischievous effects
OF early training along the narrow line
of sectarian illiberalism II he had been
educated in a school where all religious
faiths are put aside, as not belonging
to the domain OF the secular school, the
chances are that he would have been
spared his recent paroxysm of needless
anxiety for the safety of republican in
stitutions.

abilities and burdens upon them till all of

The strength of labor lies in its op-
portunities for advancement. The
faithful employe of today may in this
country easily become the employer of
tomorrow There is no set of laws
which can touch one class without
touching the other class. Law-making
for the benefit of labor is fundament-
ally wrong. just as much so as is law
making for the benefit of capital. The
kind of law-making which Americans
need to cherish Is the making of wise
laws for the whole body of the Ameri-
can people, without regard to class,
race, sex or previous condition of servi-
tude. There is entirely too much class
legislation, and the more of it there
shall be, the farther will wholesome
prosperity recede from those who self
ishly struggle to pursue it.

For Game Protection.

Representative Cotton. of Allegheny,
has introduced a sweeping measure for
the protection of game. 1t provides that
after the passage of this act II shall be un-
lawful to KILL trap, sell. trade or barter.
or expose for sale any wild game or birds,
either dead or alive, known under the

sued during the months of October, No
vember and December. The licenses are

follows: Wholesale, 5000; retailers. huck-
sters and peddlers, $500, and those en-
gagged In hunting game for a living, or
employing others to hunt, shall pay Ii
cense OF $l00 The violation of this act Is
punishable with IL fine of 800. or impris-
onment of six months.
