The criminal court grand jury IS stiii
In session. Il was expected that its
labors would have been completed yes
terday afternoon, limitations of which
had been made, and the result was the
calling OF many additional witnesses
who testified to various matters, Sew
eral hundred persons have been before
the jury and the end is not yet, though
It is believed the session will come to a
close to-day, possibly in the morning
1t is learned that the grand jury has,
in addition TO making a close and
searching investigation of the now ia
nous short" liquor license violations,
taken up the matter of Sunday selling.
Many of the witnesses before the grand
Jury yesterday, 1t is said, testified as to
Sunday liquor selling.
1t Is learned that the reduction In the
revenue 10 the state, caused by the al
moot general action of Wheeling saloon
keepers in taking out the short IL
cense, was so great that Auditor Lafol-
lette called the attention u Tue uut"ui'
tea IN Ohio county TO the matter and
threatened to send Attorney General
Rucker here to look into the matter II
steps were not taken at once by the local
officials toward furnishing liquor men
who were evidently purposely defraud-
ing the state of its due.
It Is being predicted that the number
of indictments returned by the grand
Jury will be over 1000, unprecedented In
the annals of criminal tribunals in this
county. Nearly all OF them will be for
violations OF the liquor law.
The grand jury had night session
and did not adjourn for the day until
1880 O'clock last night, It will convene
again this morning at $50 o'clock and
Il is now considered doubtful that Its
labors will be completed Thursday.

Cable Development.

Thirty-nine years and one week ago
today the first message was sent by
means of an ocean telegraph cable; but
it was eight years before the cable be-
came. commercially fixed fact To-
day there are ,754 miles of subma-
rine cables in the world and new
one from San Francisco to Yokohama
and Hong Kong via Honolulu is an
assured development of the near fu-
ture.
"Comprehendng the present impor-
tance of the cable system, it is," says
the Troy Times, with something of
amazement that one turns back to the
period when the first attempts were
made and observes the apparent lack
of interest. While the work was going
on forty years ago, and even after the
completion of the cable in 1866. very
little was heard or said about the
matter. Today the cable flashes al
most instantly the news Of the world
across the thousands of miles Of ocean.
Then the latest tidings from Europe
We're obtained from incoming vessels,
and it was common to read in the most
enterprising journals: The steamer
- brings the following intelligence
And then would follow a budget of
news made up from the mails and for
eign newspapers carried by the ship.
Such news nowadays would be any
where from six to ten days behind the
tidings brought by cable.
1T is characteristic of the enterprise
of American newspapers that they
were the first to perceive the import
ance of this method of news trans
mission and have been and are among
the most liberal patrons of the cable
companies. The tolls paid by them in
the course of year amount to pro-
digious sums. The reader probably
does not stop to think of this when
he sits quietly at home or in his
office and reads in his afternoon paper
a report of events that occurred only
a few hours before, thousands or tens
of thousands of miles away; but every
story of that kind costs a great deal
of money. The regular rates for cable
ing to the distance they are transmit
ted, range from twenty-five cents to
1858 per word. Gable dispatches come
high, but no live newspaper thinks of
doing without them
The next step in the facilitation of
news collection and the general COM
munication of intelligence swiftly will
in all probability be the development
to the point of commercial utility of
the Marconi- Tesla system of telegraph
ing without wires. When it shall be-
come possible for an operator located
in the The Tribune office to send to or
receive from any other operator in
Christendom or heathendom a message
containing the latest news, or to eX-
change intelligence with any other OPP
orators simultaneously located any
whereas may be ere the twentieth
century dawns-progress in this direc-
tion will apparently have reached it's
limit.

THE BOOM OF THE GOLDBUG.

BY signs of entomology, that rule the
present minute.
There isn't any doubt at all what sort of
bug is in it.:
The June bug the doodle bug, potato
bug and all
Have got to skip the trolley for the gold
bug has the call.
From where the Yukon rips along 70
swell the Bering deeps
wild auriferous rallying cry TO echong
wclkin leaps,
And from the heart of everywhere be-
meath the spreading sky
The goldbug ana his larvae rise unto the
raiying cry.
A glow of hope is on his eighteen-carat
appetite,
He multiplies each minute OF each feet
ing day ard night,
And like swelling avalanche that never
sways or swerves
He launches out to burrow in Alaska's
rich preserves.
So let the coleoptera stand back and give
him room.
There is no bug of all the bugs can
match the goldbug's boom;
For like certain other bug conspicuous
In fame,
Although he has no wings at all he'll
"get there just the same"

ployments. we believe this is the first
conspicuous case among them of yield
ing to those temptations which have so
commonly overcome men in similar
posts of fiduciary nature" But we
cannot agree with IL in It's additional
remark that '1et the young women in
places Of financial trust once come
into the fun spirit of industrial inde-
pendence and their honesty may be-
come no more secure than that OF the
other SEX" 1t is likely to take very
many generations of familiarity with
business methods to cause women
wage-earners to acquire the easy NOR
ais that would permit a large percent
age of them to become embezzlers or
defaulters. Honesty among women in
the matter of money amounts almost to
a sex trait.

Suppress the Back. Stabbers.

Those busybodies at Washington who
seem to believe that by the circulation
of stories rejecting upon or calculated
to belittle the present secretary of
state thev can excite friction in the
presidents cabinet and eventually
force Mr.. Sherman out do not know
the character of the men with whom
they are dealing. The only effect of
their pernicious activity is to embarr-
ass the administration at a time when
1t needs its best energies and most
undisturbed councils to cope with COM
plicated and multiplying foreign prob
lens.
That in the long period of his public
service Mr.. Sherman should have made
enemies is very possible and natural:
and that these enemies should spare
no pains to let the fact of their enmity
be Known to Mr.. Sherman is simnlv
in the fashion of enemies. But il js
one thing to fight public man openly
and fairly, in the line of his personal
ambitions, and quite another to hit be-
low the belt, in such a manner that
the chief sufferer is not the man at
tackled but the administration with
which he is identified. AS we view
them, these current reports to the effect
that Mr. Sherman is entering the period
of mental decline and that his alleged
disposition to talk at random causes
the president great uneasiness and
may lead. to a call for the secretary's
resignation belong wholly to the cate
CORY of venomous flctions, conceived
In malice and put into circulation by
those who lack the manhood to stand
up. They are so contemplate that thew
could with propriety be ignored save
for the fact that they bring discredit
upon American diplomacy and suunIv
TO foreign critics the material for
harmful comment and invidious insinu-
alton.
II Jonn Sherman's years are ripe.
they were ripened in the service of his
country and not one of his glib de-
tractors can show record to compare
with his. Even if it We're true that he
had reached a period of declining DOW
ers it would show scant respect, both
for the great statesman that he admit
tedly was and for the high Office he now
fills, to peddle the news around in en-
phasized publicity, doing no good and
hazarding vast harm. These back
stabbers deserve to be summarily sup
pressed.

contentedly on the smaller sum, have
pleasant homes, good clothes, sufficient
food and as much amusement as ~ goou
for them Lady Desart lays great weight
upon the difficulty of maintaining per-
sonal cleanliness and paying laundry bills
when one is poor and declares that the
latter alone would consume n large part
of the earnings of the average journal
!st or artist. "There Is something execra-
bly, selfish" she adds, land a; the same
time despicably stupid, In the Willingness
Of young man to degrade the woman he
pi ofesses to love by suhJecting her to
coarse privations, which will revolt her
finer instincts and inevitably make of
her a being sadly different from her
whom he adored."
If the happiness OF life depends entirely
upon material things Ihen this argument
Is unanswerable. But does itI Human
history justifies no such assumption. That
extreme poverty is antagonists to love
may be admitted, though there have been
brave souls who have risen above even
this obstacle. 1t would be futile, how
ever, to say that happiness and wealth
go hand in hand. The people of small
incomes whose surroundings seem so
mean and sordid TO Lady Desart prob
ably furnish less victims to the divorce
court, In proportion to their numbers,
than those found in what is called fash
ionable life." There have been awful
tumbles In the marriage market, caus-
ing bankruptcy and ruin. Luxury does
little to soften the discord between in
compatible temperaments. The question
remains whether the daughter or the
mother is the better judge as to COM
patibility, whether the eyes of love or
OF prudence see clearer. Here there is
something to be said upon both sides.
But we should want pretty strong evil
dence before we assented to Lady De-
sarts proposition that prudential con-
siderations should always prevail. If a
young woman and young man are sin
cerely attached to each other, II the one
has contented disposition and a small
sum to be settled upon herself and the
other has decent income with a pros
pect of adding to it, health, good charac-
ter ambition and an insurance policy, we
should be inclined to say that even on
prudential grounds the risk was a bet
ter one than some quoted at higher rates
In the marriage market.

Not a "Valley of Death. "

Some Of our contemporaries down the
valley have greeted with perhaps un-
necessary seriousness the sermon re-
Gently preached In this city by Rev.
Levi Eird, in which the community was
held up to extreme, and we think we
may say Incorporate disparagement.
From some standpoints there would
appear to be justification for much that
Mr.. BIRD said, although scarcely for all
that he said, including the terms of
reprobation and contempt. We can
imagine that IL visitor from one of
the !, peaceful and law-abiding rural
counties Of the Northwestern part of
the state were to visit Lackawanna and
Luzerne counties and see the indiffer-
Cnces With which, violations of the Ii
cense law are regarded or note the ac
.tivity.in our criminal courts over cases
Hrfsing from n low average of respect
for the law in general he might be in
clined at the first glance to join with
Mr.. Bird in denomlnatlng this the
"Nalley of DEATH"
But 80 abrupt judgment would be
unfair for it would omit to give due
consideration to the efforts which TIE
good people of the community are max
ing tn uplift the standards of citizen
ship and morality among the abased
classes and would fail to give them suf-
ticient credit for what they have al
ready done in this direction. We do not
feel called upon here and now to un-
nf
the reason that its visible progress an
swers without words all indiscriminate
criticism. At the same time, because
Rev. Mr.. Bird or any other critic
chances at times to be overcome by zeal
is not reason why the public should
decline to profit by that which is true
and just in these reminders to duty.
No wiser philosophy has been formu-
lated than is embodied in the advice of
the apostle to give heed to all things
but hold fast to that which is good.
The invariable experience Of indus
trial communities is that the greatest
development in things moral and spir-
itual comes after the material founda-
tions have been securely laid. The
material foundations of the Wyoming
and Lackawanna valleys have been
thus laid and the first generation of
industry builders is giving place slowly
but surely to generation of descend
ants whose way is already cleared for
them, affording a margin of time and
means for greater heed to social duties
The next decade viii! not see retrogres-
sion in business sense-far from it
but 1t is likely to see most surprising
and effective progress in the uplifting
of local social standards ard in the
solving of problems having to do with
the vicious, the ignorant and the unfor-
tunate.
