An Excellent Appointments.

President Mckinley could not well have
done better by the District in the selection
of superintendent of charities than he did
yesterday in the appointment of Mr.. Lewis.
" hen properly administered the position is
far from easy. 1t involves many delicate
duties. and requires rare tact and judg-
ment, in addition to thorough acquaint-
ance with the modern methods of treating
the poor of large cities. When we'll chosen
the local superintendent of charities should
be scientific administrator, a deYiser and
an originator. His previous work here as
agent of the Board of Chiidren's Guardians
has demonstrated that Mr. Lewis Is such
a man. and the President is to be thanked
for having ignored the clamor and the
pressure from the applicants who, despite
their total lack of fitness for the lost,
rushed in with political influences behind
them, in search of the appointment The
prompt confirmation of Mr.. Lewis should
follow as a matter of course.

Sunday Street Cars In Toronto.

An interesting example of municipal evo-
luton is just now furnished by the city of
Toronto, Ontario, III the matter of the
running of street cars OIL Sunday. For
years this city has been strict observer
of the Sabbath and to visitors the absolute
lack of transportation facilities on that
day has been cause for woaderment and
perhaps Inconvenience. BY the terms of
their charters the roads are permitted to
appeal not oftener than once in three years
to the votes of the community on the
question of Sunday cars. Seven years ago
the proposition to permit Sunday running
was voted down by over 21U0 majority.
Four years ago it was again negatived,
but by only 800 majority. Recently an
other vote was taken and the companies
We're given permission to run Sunday cars,
by u majority of nearly 800. 1t is suggest
ed that perhaps one of the strongest fac
tors in this change of sentiment was the
prospect that the city would secure addi-
tional revenue from the roads. The munich
pality has an excellent arrangement with
the traction companies that produces a
handsome sum annually for the support of
the city. which. being based upon the re-
ceipts of the roads, will be largely increased
by the opening of Sunday traffic.

tested in the other? How many of the
men who crowded around that urbana jail
knew that the wretch they sought had re-
ceived all the sentence the law their repre-
sentatives had made decreed? Who of
them but had not heard of the skillful
maneuveriEg In criminal practice that goes
on all over the country, by which guilty
men often escape the proper punishment
for their crimes? What more likely than
that there were men present who thought
that here was another case of hocus-pocus
made legal. in violation of the plain fnten-
tions of the lawmakers. and so lent them
selves readily to an act which is a blot
upon the reputation of the state. no matter
the spur that urged them to commit it?
There is no justification for the mob at
any time in any properly organized COM
munity. The people, having enacted laws.
should obey them, and submit their execu-
ton to the properly constituted authorities.
The way to correct any inequalities ex-
posed in laws by their operation, or any
lax execution Of them by the regular
authorities. is for public sentiment in an
orderly way to take prompt note of the
delinquency and apply a remedy. Sat
urday The Star made the Durrant case the
text for some observations on the subject.
a distinguished lawyer, was quoted in the
dispatches from Raleigh in these words:
"Mobs who attack jails should be shot
down. Lawiess men must be made to know
that this is land of law. The way to end
lynch law is to remove the excuse for 1t.
1t is no justification to say, what is not
denied, that in many cases the victims
deserve what they get. Barbarian brutes
who commit nameless crimes must be
killed and killed quick, but let 1t be done
under the forms of law Let there be none
of the laws delay. Give the executive the
power to call a court inStanter. order
judge by telegraph to the county of the
crime. and try the criminal. If proper for
an appeal. convene the appellate court on
shortest possible notice, send down the
judgment, and instantly perform its man
dates"
This is to the point, and covers both the
Ohio and the California cases. THE laws
delay" is often the excuse for Judge
Lynchs haste. Abolish the one, and a
long step is taken toward abolishing the
other.

No Grounds for DesDnir.

Let those gentlemen who indulge in
pessimistic mood now and then. and while
under its influence despair of Congress and
its workings. consider the scene which oc
CURED in the French Chamber of Depu-
ties Saturday. VI. Richard, a socialist
deputy. had referred to some of his col
leagues police spies.' and had been
called to order by President Brisso1 of
the chamber. Instantly there was an up
roar Members of the socialist party
sprang to their feet and with the full
strength of their lungs applied the coarsest
and most insulting epithets TO the presi-
dent They defied his authority. and car
ried matters to such an extreme that in
the end the president was Obliged to ad
journ the meeting. In a sense he surren-
de-ed to them. He was forced to suspend
the public business at their dictation.
Can one conceive of such an episode in
either house of the American Congress at
this day? There are some spirited ex-
changes in the House now and then, and
sometimes members are called to order,
but never without obeying the call. The
Speakers voice can always be heard. and
his authority wnen he Invokes it is always
respected During the most exciting days
in the first session of the FIfty-First Con-
rules which were working a parliamentary
revolution the angriest of those on their
feet in protest never got beyond the Speak
er's authority. He always kept the House
in hand. and in session as long as the busi-
ness required 1t.
There Is of course a marked difference in
temperament between an American and a
Frenchman. or a Spanish or German or an
Italian Scenes reported in the Chamber
of Deputies, the Cortes and the Reich
stag are quite inconceivable in our Con-
gress. But even when that difference and
other thirgs are allowed for, there is sill
rtCm for the boast that our law-making
body is one of elaboration, and that our
form of party government is freer from
rancors and personal hatreds. and more
accommodating to honest differences of
opinion on public questions. than any other
In the world. Not infrequently indeed. the
warmest personal friendships exist between
leaders of opposite parties. Their public
contentious, heated and strenuous as they
often are. each man exerting himself to
the utTcst TO carry the day, rarely result
IN even a temporary suspension of their
social REALTORS.

things get to be very much worse than
they are-say until NJ. Simpson. or NJ.

stones and Glass Houses.

Although it is not so intended, there is
something humorous in the exchanges now
going on in the Senate between democratic
Senators on the subject of protection. in
cidental or otherwise. Every man of them
Is living In a glass house. The party itself
lives In a glass house. Why should there
be any fusilade of stones. therefore, unless
as a somewhat reckless diversion? Every
body's domicile is more or less injured by
it. and the great central domicie cracked
all around.
The truth is, the record incontrovert-
IDLY shows. the advocacy of free trade.
properly so called. has never had. except
in a very few individual cases, absolute
sincerity behind it. When the democracy.
as a party. indulged in it, as in 1892. it
simply, to use a colioquialism. was talking
through it's hat. 1t was playing for the
time being upon a hastily aroused preju-
dice against high protection. But it never
seriously contemplated giving the country
genuine free trade. Among the party lead
ers who subscribed, apparently. to the
platform of that year were Mr.. Whitney.
Mr.. Brice Mr.. Hill. Mr.. German. Mr.. Muir
ply, MIR. Smith. Mr.. Henry G. Davis and
Mr.. Flower. These men were not free
traders then. and they are not free traders
now. They simply subscribed to the cry of
the day. and no sooner having won with it.
set to work to nullify it. They succeeded
in doing so. The German Wilson tariff bill
was no more than a travesty on the plat
form upon which the democracy had re-
turned to power. But it represented all
that the party could do in the way of tariff
legislation.
So, why this twitting of one democrat by
another for accepting the fruits and bene-
fits of protection for his own home inter-
ests? They have all done it. They will all
continue to do it. Their people, democrats
as well republicans. not only expect
such benefits, but demand them. Protec-
ton is protection. whether incidental or
otherwise. Every duty that is now i'm
posed carries protection in one form or an
other. The duty on sugar is a revenue
duty, but it carries very substantial Incl
dental protection along with it. and the
sugar planters in demanding it want it
laid with this protection feature kept well
in view. And it is so laid, and with the
assistance of so-called free trade demo-
cratic votes
The time may come when political lead
ers will fight little more out in the open.
and with a clearer enunciation of party
principles. But that time. more's the pity.

A Bloody Array at Turkey Run Saturday
Night.

n bioouy ARRAY AT Iufkey nun saturday
Night.
William Pettish, a Polish resident of
Turkey Run, was brutally assaulted in a
house at that place Saturday night by John
Onastavage, Joseph Orriski and John
ChesnaWicz. Pettish alleged before Justice
Cardin that the men named called at his
house and urged him to go to their boarding
house and have som beer. He declined tho
invitation, but they called a second time aud
he finally consented to accompany them.
While in the boarding house, Pettish says,
the crowd commenced to taunt each other
j%okingly, but gradually became serious.
Pettish AYERS that it was only a part Of a con-
spiracy to bring about a general row in which
he was to play the part of victim. Finally
the boarding boss grabbed hold Of him and
ordered him to leave the house. As he was
going towards the door one Of the men struck
him on the head with a beer glass and John
Chesnawicz stabbed him three times in the
back with a table knife. Pettish wore an
oyercoat and it prevented the knife from
penetrating his back to a serious depth, but
the wounds we're of a character that a physi-
clans services were required and DIR. Phillips
dressed them. The accused men settled the
case by paying the DOCTORS fees, giving the
victim the price of anew overcoat, and pay
ing the costs of the suit.

California bean soup tonight.

Information was received to-day to the ef-
feet that Martin Mullahy, the First ward
politician, is suffering from an attack Of
blood poisoning and is in a critical condition
at the home of his brother, Patrick Mullahy,
at Mahanoy Plane. The trouble arises from
injuries Mullahy received when the Demo-
cratic borough primary was held in the First
ward on the 22nd Of last month. Mullahy
and Jack" Toole became involved in a dis
cussion which led to an encounter, during
which, it is alleged, Toole scratched Mullahy
several times. There were several deep
finger nail scratches on the face and one
about six inches in length across the back OF
the neck. Mullahy at first paid little atten-
ton to the injuries, but they soon infiamed
and have now reached a condition that
arouses the fears Of the victims friends.
