that could tempt q woman well married,
well educated and removed from the ne
cessity OF earning her own livelihood. Nor.
indeed, is there any possibility Of one pos
sessing these endowments ever winning
substantial and enduring success on the
stage. Poverty Is the cradle Of dramatic
genius. not wealth. Duse's parents wece
stroiiing actors, and the wonderful crea-
ture they brought forth ran about, half
naked and almost wholly starved, taking
tickets in the performing tent. until acci-
dent developed her marvellous powers.
Bernhardt's father was a faggot gatherer
In the Bois de Boulogne. and the great
Jewess was beaten and starved the first
fourteen years Of her life before she went
to share the humble apartment of a poor
artist. Ada Rehan toddled bare-legged
on the banks OF the Shannon. Georgia
Cayvan's youth was spent in struggling
for living. Peg Wonngton sold water
cress on the streets of Dublin. That a
woman brought up in luxury should sud-
denly determine at the age OF, say 80
TO win success on the stage. Is generally
preposterous. The drama needs flexible
muscles and an untutored mind for its
best development. Edwin Booth was Is

sidered-what these once Detted women

write varies from eighty-five to ninety
six. In Russia. Italy and Spain the num-
Der falls to from fifteen to forty-seven.
In our country il is a well known fact
that there are no active centers of cul-
ture which are not at the same time
active centers Of industry. The mill,
the mine and the factory necessarily
precede the high school. the academy
and the college. Without the one to
give support to the population the
other must languish.
1t Is" says the Post, IAN incontro-
vertibis fact that the policy which has
developed and fostered manufactures in
the United States-the establishment
and maints nance of the patent system
and protective duties-has been as con-
ducive 20 intellectual and moral as to
material growth. The periods of our
greatest progress in education and
science. the periods when the churches
and the schools have enjoyed thsir high
est prosperity, have been coincident
with the years and decades of greatest
advancemen in manufactures" The
protectionist who finds work for idle
men and Wages for those in want is the
true philanthropist.

Keeping Quiet.

The esteemed Wilkes Barre Record
mistakes the meaning Of a recent para
graph on this page II 1t thinks that The
Tribune desired to sneer at Hon. Henry
w. Palmers purity platform" II
there was any flippancy in our state
ment that that platform had failed to
make much ado it was aimed. not at Mr..
Palmer, for whose ability and expert
ence this journal has the utmost respect,
nor at his platform, which is the plat
form Of political honesty. but at the
state of public opinion which seems to
be quite content to tolerate the award
ing Of political honors to the highest
bidders.
We are truly glad to learn from the
Record that the Republicans Of Luzerne
ARE reaching out for higher standards"
and that "heelers and boodlers who have
during the past few years been all-po-
tent In the primaries are being relegated
- the rear and better men pushed to
the 'front.'" We sincerely trust that the
good work may continue. The Tribune
will gladly pledge itself to do all in its
power to bring about the supremacy of
brains and character over mere manipu-

The Detection of Teller.

Thoughtless persons may find food for
merriment in the withdrawal from the
Republican party of a man like Henry
NJ. Teller. but to other 1t will be an
occasion for regret During the twenty
years that Mr.. Teller has been in public
life-seventeen years as member of the
United States senate and three years as
secretary OF interior-he has displayed
marked ability, a high sense of duty and
scrupulous honesty. Whatever may be
thought of his present opinions in rela-
tion to the currency issue, it cannot be
denied that he is acting conscientiously
and with something Of the bravery
which in other days sent men for opin-
ions sake without fiinching to the
stake. That there are tricksters and
demagogues who cry for free silver
coinage because they see in 1t a chance
to win temporary personal prominence
does not obscure the fact that in the
person of Henry NJ. Teller that economic
delusion has a champion who imparts
to it something of his own dignity. He
at least means what he says-means it
so firmly that rather than seem to
swallow his convictions he is ready to
leav his party and brave all the
Ahat ,aI ti..aa
him to private life.
In this age of what Mr. Bayard would
call political ''jobbers and chaffereis"
men of this caliber are none too numer-
Gus. Though We may differ radically
from their belief. we would. neverthe-
less respect their candor, their sincerity
and their courage. Mr.. Teller does not
preach one thing and practice another.
He does not eat his words. He prefers
to be alone with his own conscience APP
proving him rather than to be with the
multitude when his judgment tells him
it is wrong. 1t is possible that his with
drawal from the party, together with
his small coterie of associates, will work
no serious damage to Republican pros
poets. The probabilities are that their
bolt will not amount to much, except
within a limited western area. The his
tory of bolts offers small encourage
ment to their repetition; and this year
in particular 1t seems likely that for
every vote lost to the Republican ticket
because of the gold plank in the st.
Louis platform, two votes will be won
from the Democrats.
Yet at the same time we are sorry to
lose Teller, for we believe him to be
that noblest of Gods creatures, an hon
est man: and we suggest that the door
be not permanently closed against his
return.
