NORMAL NEWS.

During the absence of DR.. Welsh
at Wilkes Barre last Thursday, at
which place he was attending a City
Institute, an excellent crayon por-
trait of himself was hung in the library.
The class of '76, of which he was a
member, held reunion at the last
commencement and decided to honor
him in this way. This action was op-
posed by him but he was overruled.
The presentation was made by Prof.
Wilbur who in a neat speech paid
tribute to his work and worth which
was received with applause by the
students.
Owing to the increased size OF the
chemistry class, the present labratory
is inadequate and new one is to be
fitted up.
The senior and graduate class is
much, larger than last year.
The enrolment at the school is
slightly in increase of that of last year
for the same term. This is quite a
surprise to DR.. Welsh as it was sup
posed that owing to the financial con-
dition of the country the school along
with everything else would suffer.
The officers of the Agricultural AS.
sociation have made unusual efforts
to make the next fair one best in the
history of the association. The Fair

exhibits 1t is held for their benefit
and they should take especial pains to
make it success by bringing such
specimens Of their farm products as
will prove Of interest to those in at

is to be commended for it. But while
New York and New England society
has been engaged in this very COM
mendable work it has very seriously
neglected to cultivate friendly rela-
tons between the east and west of our
own country The consequence has
been that more o less of an estrange-
ment has grown between the two sec
tons, and it continues to grow. Would
it not be well, would it not be wise,
for the polished east to pay a little
more attention to cultivating the
friendship CT the wild and woody
west? Each section has very erron-
eous ideas of the other The east looks
upon the west as boorish the west
looks upon the east as snobbish. This
should not be. Mr. Whitney postponed
visit to Europe to go to Chicago to
combat financial heresy, as he deemed
it. He signally failed. Until he ar
rived in Chicago he was as unacquaint-
ed with the sentiments of the major
ity of his party on all subjects as with
the sentiments of the Siberians on the
question of constitutional government
IN Russia. No doubt he will still take
his trip. Would it not be better for
him to spend two months in becoming
acquainted with the common people of
MS own country? There should be
more Of a mingling together of the
people of the various sections of the
country than there is. Friendly feel
ings between all sections of our com
mon country is of far more Importance
than friendly feelings between this
country and any other, important as
that is
If the people of the east who have
wealth and leisure would but pay half
the attention to cultivati ting the good
will of the west and south that they
do to cultivating the good will of for
eign society, then there would never be
any sectional feeling, no jealousias, no
sneers which soon become hatred. 1t
is time that he people of the country
became better acquainted with each
other; then there will come a mutual
regard and respect that are somewhat
wanting a present.

cally-raised but ravenous baby. Did
not the great Barnum say that people
liked to be humbugged? And he knew
what he was talking about and made
fortune out of his knowledge. Swind-
ling is but an extreme form of hum
bugging, not quite so wei liked as the
milder and more familiar form.
A sort of gold brick game was
worked in Shelbyville, Indiana, a few
days ago. An employer swindled an
employee out of two thousand dollars.
The name of the employer was
Schmidt; that of the employee Wreit.
Wreit was known to have about $4,000,
and to think a great deal of Mrs.
Schmidt, whose husband wanted to
dispose of his property. Accordingly
trap was set for Wreit and last week
Mrs. Schmidt secured a divorce from
her husband in the circuit court, al
leging cruelty, Schmidt making no de-
Tense. Before applying for the divorce,
however, the woman agreed to marry
Wreit, if he would purchase the pro-
perty and household effects of Schmidt.
This was agreed to, and when the di
vorce was granted Wreit hunted up
Schmidt and offered him $1,000 for his
place, $1,000 more than it's value.
Schmidt refused. wanting $500, which
he was finally given a check for. This
was the next day after the divorce had
been granted, and that evening
Schmidt and his wife took a train for
Cincinnati, where they were remarked,
and are now en- route to Germany.
Wreit threatens suicide. Suicide
would be about the best use to which
he could put himself. He would have
swindled Schmidt out of his wife, but
was himself swindled. All of which
proves that people like to be hum
bugged and that the course of true
love did never yet run smooth.

AN ARRnTRATTcN TREArY.

The London Daily News is in favor
of a treaty Of arbitration between
Great Britain and the United States
1t is in favor of a treaty embodying
those points of agreement already ar
rived at in the Olney-Salisbury CORE
spondence. The News also publishes
an interview with Hon. James Bryce,
author of The American Common
wealth." Mr.. Bryce thinks the difficult
ties in the way of a settlement are
not at all insurmountable.
In the draft treaty submitted by
Lord Salisbury was this provision:
IS. Any difference which, in the
judgment of either power, materially
affects its honor or the integrity of its
territory shall not be referred to ar
bitration except by special agree
ment"
That was a very vital matter and,
denied arbitration on those very cues
tons that are most liable to bring
about international quarrels, to avoid
which the plan of international arbi-
tration is proposed. To this section
Mr.. Olney proposed a change the
change being provisions that either
congress or parliament at any time
before the arbitral tribunal shall have
convened may by act withdraw partic-
ular subject matter from arbitration as
involving the national honor or integ-
rity The merit of this change is that
it requires elaboration and debate TO
withdraw any subject from arbitration.
When once a question is debated in a
national deliberative assembly it will
usually be found a comparatively easy
matter to submit 1t to arbitration.
In this Olney-Salisbury correspon-
dence it has seemed to us that the
secretary of state had the best of the
case. His position was the more log
zeal; he met the case more sauarely.
He showed willingness to go the
whole length That Lord Salisbury
did not is not to be wondered at. An ar
bitration treaty is a new thing in di-
plomacy, and diplomats of the Euro
pean school cannot be expected to an
HDoach it in any but a cautious and
tentative way at first. That Lord
Salisbury was willing to go so far as
he showed himself to be is most en-
couraging. The suggestion of the
Daily News that the points of agree
ment already arrived at be embodied
in a treaty is a very good one, and
could it be done would pave the way
to fuller and more complete treaty
such as Mr.. Olney would like at the
present time.
The publication of this correspon-
dence cannot but have a very salutary
effect upon any future negotiations.
1t shows that there is more or less of
a rapproachment between the state
department and Downing street than
at one time seemed possible An arbi-
tration treaty, covering all subjects.
between the United States and Great
Britain, is a consummation devoutly to
be wished.

quarters where heretofore there has

writes to the Pittsburg Post as follows:
1t seems to me that the whole move
ment of the Democracy of late comes
from the very heart of humanity. 1t

lofty and courageous enthusiasm A
cheap and partisan epigram can't kill
it or eclipse the moral victory already

thing of political machination or taw-
dry bosssln about it. It comes from
the heart of the people 1t is the ut
terance of their instinct, always deeper
than reasoning.
Silver may not be the golden Solu-
ton of the problem which today con-
fronts US, but it is the concrete and lu-
minous channel through which the
great commonality is expressing its
feeling. That feeling is deep and
ethical. 1t can't be killed with an cpl

FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN THE EAST
AND WEST.

Lord Russell, lord chief justice of
England, it is announced, will shortly
pay a visit to the United States. 1t
will not be his first visit, he having
been here some ten years ago. He is
a man of great charm of manner, an
Irishman by birth, and combines with
great learning all the brilliancy and
vivacity of his race. Society and the
bar of the east will alike be interested
in his visit. AS one of the results of
his. visit it is anticipated that it will
do much to create still closer friend
ship between this country and Eng
land-certainly most desirable thing.

has been very assiduous in cultivating

WHAT GOLD MONOMETALLISM
MEANS.

In the Manitou address it is stated
that gold recommendation means shift
ing to gold alone as money; that this
in turn means that a double burden
will be placed upon it; that it will
mean a double demand for gold with
the consequence that the value of the
gold will also double. There is no con-
troverting that fact. If the law Of
supply and demand regulates the value
of money as of other things, then the
value will depend upon the supply. The
consequence will be that if the supply
is reduced one-half, as it is when one
half of the money metal is discarded,
which characterization of either of the
money metals does, the value of the
other half is doubled. The demand is
also doubled because there is but half
as much as there was to supply the
wants of the people. And it can only
do half of the work of exchange of
commodities. When such is the case
the result must be to cripple business,
which is to retard the fullest prosper
ity When there is not the fullest pros
perity there is not the fullest employ
sell Their necessary expenses remain
the same, and if they cannot earn more
than half what they formerly did,
either through lack of work or reduced
wages the burdens upon them are
doubled through the reduction of their
the volume of the money of the coun-
try one-half doubles its burdens and
correspondence reduces its prosperity
