Tactics That Fail.

THE anxiety Of the Reverends j. q.

criminal libel on the charge preferred
during the recent senatorial campaign
nv Hon. Boies Penrose, as Indicated IN
their omen letter to District Attorney
Graham, will probably not be grained
The tone of wouldbe martyrdom IN
this letter is too apparent. senator
Penruse has pursued the proper course
in withdrawing from all participation
in the matter The attacks of his de-
famers fell short of therpurpose; he
is now the representative of the whole
commonwealth in the United states
senate, and from the dignity OF That
position he can we'll decline to be a
party to any revival of the acerbities
of the recent contest.
1t was a contemplate plan of cam
paign which these ministers of the
gospel introduced into the senatorial
canvass, but it met with it's just re-
ward in the utter failure of its ami
mating purpose. The whole incident is
malodorous, but at the same time it is
likely through it's collapse, to discour-
age for some years to come, in this
state the use for political ends of per-
sonal scandal and Vilitcation. There
will soon be realization of the fact that
political gutter-sweepin defeats it
self. 1t has done so in every recent
campaign within our recollection. 1t is
likely to be still more certain to do so
in future, as the average of the public
intelligence becomes gradually higher
and the sum of civic decency and fair
mindedness larger.
This incident will also, we trust, have
a wholesome effect in impressing upon
the clergy the need of augmented dis
Cretion in their eX-officio participation
in political strife. The office of a Chris
tian minister is certainly degraded
when it is made to perform the func-
tions of a sCandal-mOnger and used as
one part of a carefully organized and
artfully manipulated political machine
It is the duty of the pulpit to champion
morality; but it must be sure that il
its performance of this duty it is accur.
ate, unselfish and sincere. The mo-
ment it seeks identification with tht
shrewd tricksters of party politics anC
lends itself as a facile instrument il
their Vaccinations, that moment il
sacrifices it's commanding intiuenc,
ana Sinks to the level of Irresponsible
ity. You cannot make the decalogu
an issue of politics without incurins
the risk of its defeat. Its authoritit,
should come from a higher quarter
and not be put in question.
lt'woud give US pleasure to be abl
to add Il prediction of increased char
ity on the part of the pulpit in it's atti
tude toward public men and affairs
but the signs at present do not in ou
judgment forecast it.

1t is pointed out by a writer in this
months Forum as a significant fact
that in twenty years the exports of
England save in the matter of machn-
cry have declined 22 per cent, while
her imports have increased about AZ
per cent. Even the growth of her ex-
ports of machinery has been at her
own expense, since no sooner is this
machinery installed in foreign shops
than it helps to strengthen England's g
continental competition. No wonder
far-seeng Englshmen are beginning
to revise their opinions as to the bless
ednesS of free trade.

it would do away with necessity OF

munities that need every dollar they

1t will be matter of regret that the
court, in appointing eN"City Treasurer
Reese O. Brooks to ill the vacancy on
the Poor Board caused by the resigna-
ton of Mrs. Swan, did not see fit to
explain the reasons which at this time
in its judgment, render unadvisable the
designation of a woman. Giving to Mr..
Brooks all the credit which is his due,
the fact remains that the precedent es-
tablshed in Mrs. Swans appointment
and her excellent subsequent service
had caused the public to expect the
naming of another lady us her success
sor, and blinds it to the present objec-
tons TO that course, whatever they be.
