The Demagogue.

Under this head the Hazleton Sem
tintl in quoting from recent editorial
comment in the Tribune relating to the
demagoguery of John NJ. Garman In
his protest against a hearing in the
IIazleton case before Judges Lynch
and Bennett, says:
our contemporary advances a word of
caution that may well be needed. The
present period offers an opportunity for
the dCmagogue exceptional in value Tor
the promotion of his designs. This does
not apply to John NJ. Garman with as
much force as to the newspapers that
are now subordinating law, order ana
simple justice to votes, and TINS AT
time when the prudent men ard women
are cXcrting every effort to restore to the
community, to the entire country the
peace and tranquility so essential to our
industrial welfare, and for the return OF
prosperity now so urgently needed. is
il not a sad commentary upon the IN
tClligcncc of the man who Will so far
forget himself at this time as to sneer
at the law, the bulwark of our safety,
in order that votes may be made for n
favoritc candidate? An exhibition of this
kind Is given by the Democratic papers
at present in their zeal to advance the
chances Of the party ticket by damning
District Attorney Fell, and holding the
duty of the hour up to ridicule. Mr..
Fell has a duty to perform, and he cam
not be swerVCd from the course which
duty dictates, and which he has sol
emnly sworn to pursue regardless of the
consequences to himself.
The torch and the firebrand advocate
can do no worse in their incendiary
speeches or insurrection, than the DEM
agoguC who inveighs against the Crca-
turc of the law at a time like the pres
ent, for the purpose of developing cer-
tain political sentiment. In the position
| taken, Mr. Fell has shown stamina and
integrity that command the respect and
endorsement of all thoughtful men. When
we consider that he himself, a candidate
for reelection, declines to pander TO
stituted against the deputies, it shows
him TO be more than a man of integrity,
shows him to be one possessing an in
dCmitable will and the courage to be
guided by his convictions.
Treason like wildfrc spreads rapidly
once the conditions for it are secured

! place Of reasonable conditions. The

FALLACIOUS HOPES.
From the Philadelphia Record:

From the Philadelphia Record:
The hopes founded by the bimetalllsts
upon the reported intention OF the Bank
" England to hold one-iifth of its reserve
in silver have proved of short dura ation
The conditions with which this proposed
action was coupled-namely, that France
should open her mints to the free coinage
of silver, and that the price of silver
should be atisfactory-indicate that the
bank was little in earnest in the business.
France has not the slightest intention of
opening her mints to the free coinage of
silver at fifteen and one-half to one or
any like ratio, least of all for so precari-
Gus an advantage as might be found in
the suggested action of the Bank of Eng
land. But if the governor and directors
of the Bank of England should seriously
undertake the experiment of holding one
fifth of its redemption fund in silver they
would soon be turned from any such pur-
pose by the British world of finance and
trade,

HE PLAYS LONE HAND.
From the Syracuse Courier.

From the Syracuse Courier.
King Menelek of Abyssinia is becoming
an important parsonage in European af-
public eye and is up to date in his meth
DDS of doing it. He would have the
world believe that he knows something
about the amenities of life. He shows a
most magnammous spirit toward Great
Britain in concluding with that govern
ment treaty by which the Anglo Egyp-
tian expedition will be allowed to ad-
vance to khartoum. He reserves to
himself the right of kingship beyond that
point, and If the British are wise they
will not attempt 20 play any tricks on
the Gusky warrior, who has thus far
been n plague to them. Another evidence
of Meneleks progress toward civilza-
tion and of his desire to pose as a cul-
tured African potentate, is his action in
comforting upon Prince Bismarck the
grand cross of the Star of Ethiopia, a
distinction which he believes Is equal to
any honor that European sovoreigns can
bestow upon their subjects. 1t can't be
possible that Prince Henri dOrlcans,
while hobnobbng with him, put a flea in
his ear and thus caused him to overlook
more exalted personages when distribut-
ing his stars and crosses. The Italians
won't be pleased at this exhibition of
what will appear to them to be bad taste
in discrimination and the young war lord
is apt to kick up fuss about It,
Menelek is a willy hoy and is already
well up in the arts of diplomacy

Wasted Warnings.

Lebanon and vicinity must be suf-
fering from a visitation of "mashers."
The Lebanon News and other esteemed
papers in that region are devoting con-
siderable space to grave and impress
sive warnings to young girls regarding
the way they should conduct them
selves in going to and from school.
Suggestions that they should refrain
from srealling to strangers and should
remember how important it is to be
discreet, and other nuggets of good
advice are freely offered with an earn
estness that is really pathetic. Dear
News, don't you know that neither
school girls nor their mammas read
editorials? Don't you know yet that
about the only people who do read edi-
tOrials are the editors, and the only
reason they do so is to see whether
other editors have mentioned their
paper and quoted some of their bril-
liant thoughts? If you really want the
women to take your advice, tack it
fast to the latest bargain sale adver-
tisement or obituary notice.

These figures show that the payments
by importers nearly doubled. The value
of the merchandise imported pending the
enactment of the new tariff increased
$lO5,3 229 and the duties paid increased
$l3.OS1, ,29S
Under such circumstances is it strange
that imports have decreased since the
passage of the act or strange that the
revenues of the government have been
insufficient? And is it not fair to as
sumo that when the surplus supplies of
merchandise are exhausted and new ship
ments to our markets are made, the Gus
toms receipts will increase and the gov
ernment revenue will be ample? Ger
tainly there is no reason for criticising
the Dingley act as a tariff for defic-
iency. 1t will work all right when it
has a fair chance.

THE WHEEL or FORTUNE.

If all reports OF the earnings for the
season OF the great bicycle riders be
true the wheel is a genuine wheel of
fortune. From the Boston Globe we
learn that Linton on the Continent has
saved $4,000 within the past two years;

SECURITY AND CHANCE.
From the Chicago Record.

From the Chicago Record.
The instinct to lay by stores for "a
rainy day. is the instinct of self-preser-
walton and of civilization 1t has led to
the development Of life-insurancc COM
panies and banks and savings institutions
of all sorts. 1t leads the well-to-do to
forogo high rates of interest in order
that the income from their wealth may
be as certain and secure as possible It
is this same instinct that leads careful
persons of limited means to turn to the
government as the only absolutely safe
custodian for their small savings. In es-
tablishinE postal savings banks ma
tion carries its people forward step
in civilization inasmuch as it is giving
to them an additional security against
misfortune. A person who puts his saw
ings into the postOtfice bank will know
that when hardship and want overtake
him, whether because of misfortune or
declining years, his money will be forth
coming. The fact that there is such q
safe place Of deposit provided will in
duce many to make provision against
future want who otherwise would per-
NIT themselves to become charges upon
society when misfortune oVertakes them
or when old age finds them unprepared
to earn a support by their labor. To the
persons for whom the postal savings
bank is intended the rate of interest paid
on deposits is of minor Importance. What
such persons want above everything else
is absolute security against loss. They
want to eliminate from life the danger
that in their declining years they may
find themselves without the means of sus-
tanning existence. Congress should es-
tablish system of postal savings banks
for the people of the United States with
out further unnecessary delay.

DREW IS NOT GUILTY.
At Least That Is the Verdict of the
Jury.

Francis g. Drew is not guilty of hav-
ing offered to accept a bride from E.
F. Dcdson and John Thomas Baker
one beautiful day last fall. Twelve
bright young men took seven minutes
and one ballot to determine that fact
after having listened to all the evi-
dence and heard the charge of the
court.
The jury retired at noon yesterday
the attorneys thinking it would be
some time before the jury would come
in. Bets were freely offered by some
of the aldermen at odds OF $25 to SO,
that the result would be disagreement
Not even Drew's best friend, not even
he himself, hoped that there would be
an acquittal. Judge Jamison left for
the afternoon, and to Judge Russell
was left the charge of the jury After
dinner the deputy was obliged to hurry
about considerably to get Drew and his
attorneys to the court room. Drew
came in, and, sitting behiLd his attor
neys, looked the picture of concen-
trated nervousness: His face was pale
and his breath came quick
Clerk Ryberg read the verdict slowly,
and Drew seemed about to faint
When the words came Not guilty"
he gave great gasp, but had not
strength enough to smile. His attor-
neys took him from the court room at
once, after ne mad SraSped the hand
of each juryman, and, when in the
hallway he was in the center of a
jubilant crowd. 1t was a knot of alder
men and their friends. Drew nearly
tottered over as he shook their hands,
and his face was axriessionless. His
attorneys managed to get him to the
elevator and to a place where he could
be recuperated. The aldermen went
out to hunt a saloon and refresh them
Selves some of them to pay lost
Wagers.
The triumph is the first for the al
legged ring of aldermen, and they are
too joyful for utterance. There re-
mains another indictment against
Drew for perjury, but it is the opinion
of good attorneys that a conviction
upon that count can never be had.
Judge Smith is pushing it, however
"Well, I am glad it is all over" said
County Attorney Peterson. 1T is much
better so than it would be to have

of bodies found gives q very inadequate
idea Of the number of victims, as doz-
ems were burned completely to ashes.
Terrible scenes continued to be en-.
acted at the Palais de lIndustrie, the
temporary morgue, this afternoon. The
mother of the four-year-old child, AL
4 fred David, one Of the victims, arrived
during the day for the purpose of TAX.
ing the baby away with her. 1t was
decided, however, that 1t was inadvis-
able to show her the CHASTITY remains
I of the child. When this news was COM
municated to the unfortunate mother
in paroxysm of grief, she tried to
force her way into the mortuary hall
screaming: II will see my child" 1t
was found necessary to forcibly remove
the poor woman, whose case is one of
the most distressing. 1t appears that
Nine. David lost her husband a month
ago, and that her only other child
died a fortnight ago.
One feature which is generally re-
marked of the victims taken to the
Palais de PIndustrie is that the head
is thrown back and the arms are up
lifted with a peculiarly wierd effect.
The fact that the faces and heads Of
the dead were SO horribly charred and
disfigured is explained by the fact that
the capes worn were generally of film
sy material and were the first articles
of apparel to catch fire.

have been recognized:
