THE CLASS CRY.
From the Times-Herald.

There are no classes In this country,
in any proper sense of that term. though
we sometimes use 1t for convenience sake.
But there IL no class here, as In Europe,
into which one is born. and In which. as
a rule, he must remain through life. the
son of the labOrer may aspire to the nigh
est station and reach 1t: the son OF the
rich many may die In poverty and obscur-
ity. With US no insurmountable barrier
stops the progress Of any man who has
the will to dare and the ability to do. ana
every boy is born with the belief that he
may one day reach the presidency. The
farmers son becomes the great merchant
or banker Of the city. while the son OF the
capitalist not infrequently seekB the
country. There is no division lire that
keeps any one out of any class. Men horn
in the poor class may aspire to enter the
rich class, and the rich are constantly be-
ing recruited from the ranks of those VINO
are in the humber walks Of life.
What hope can there be, therefore, Tor
demagogues who preach discomfort to the
poor and unprosperous, or seek to array
class against class when they recognize
their own kinship and acknowledge a
common origin? 1t is useless to tell the
farmer that Wall street is his enemy when
ne knows that his son or his brother IS
one OF the men thus denominated. The
poor man Of today expects that he or his
son will be the rich man of tomorrow, and
why should he treat as his enemies the
men with whom he hopes to associate? :?
Americans have no patience with such
teaching. and they have always stamp ed
1t under foot. 1t is un-American and un-
patriotic. 1t belongs to lands where hero
ditary classes rule. 1t has no footing on
American soil

Is worth while to remind the friends OF

SO overwhelming that no such candidacy
as Bryan's will ever again afYront public
intelligence. and that political parties OF
the future will not dare espouse a cause
involving national dishonor. To defeat
Bryan Is not enough; he should be beaten
by unsurpassed maiorities In every state

expect to be the case

THE TROUBLE WITH BRYAN.
From the Philadelphia Bulletin.

Mr.. Bryan is APPARENTLY an honest man
In the sense of being an incorruptible one ;
he has the abilities of an interesting man,
but he has not the clearness of vision, the
breadth of judgment and that sagacity in
conclusions which denote a safe or pru-
dent man. What Andrew Johnson was
through the strain OF n coarse ancestry
and besotted habits, vehement. intolerant,
narrow and reckless-Mr. Bryan is in dan
ger of becoming through an ill-balanced
intellect excited beyond its normal range
of actiyity

NOT JUSTIFIED,
From the Wilkes-Barre Record,

The violent attack of the Scranton Truth
on the report of the three mine inspectors
who were charged with the thankless du:y
OF investigating the Twin shaft mine dis
aster seems to us to be uncalled for. the
report may be of little or no practical
value, but we question whether anything
more satisfactory could have been az.
compished by any other three men In the
state n:der the same circumstances U,
conditions. Tie ono good point made by
the Truth is that the state having under
taken to inspect the mines it should do 1t
Thoroughly, even though much larger
number Of inspectors Le required.

much opposition. the "Freedman's Board
of the Presbyterian church."
We heartily endorse the kind things
SO neatly said OF "a parson" who has
been identified so efficiently with the
best public interests Of this city and Of
the valley for almost a generation.
Doctor Logan is one Of the most widely
known reformers Of our coal fields; Il
quiet and constant worker, a genial
friend to all classes Of good men; as a
churchman a Calvinist yet Of the most
pronounced catholic spirit and recog-
nized by all denominations and
churches as a friend and helper The
''chief. distinction" claimed for DR..
Logan by our contemporary. the or
ganization Of the Presbyterian mission
to the Freedmen, was won before he
came to this city. But he Is in fair
way to be known in this part Of the
missions for the benefit of the masses
Of people of foreign speech which are
now crowdlng into our coal fields.
His efforts to interest our great oper-
ators on behalf of their hand-workers
along Christian lines and entirely
remove the separating walls of race
prejudice and modes of life between
native and foreign populations are
both wise and patriotic as well as
Christian. With the historic spirit of
missions the doctor and his worthy CO.
workers are attempting to make realm
these valleys the old Christian theory
that there Is no difference between Jew
and Greek. By the operation Of Christ
ian schools and work of missionaries,
who by knowledge of the tongues of the
strangers can serve as connecting
links between them and our native
communities of worthy Christians, the
bands are woven which shall wrap up
in efficient unity these separated forces
of Amepican citizenship.
In this mission he deserves the conf
dence and practical assistance of pat
riots as we'll as Christians without re-
gard either to party or denOminational
lines. We commend to all our worthy
and benevolent citizens who are
troubled with the question. How shall
these foreign masses be rapidly alb
sorbed into our national life and be
made worthy helpers in the triumph Of
our free institutions? the activities in
home missionary and educational work
which receive from venerable Dr.
Logan their chief direction and inspi-
ration.
