WHAT A LIE.
An Editor Says Thatit Takes Money
to Run a Newspaper.

From he Covington (0hio) Gazette:
1T takes money to run a news
paper. st. John (Kan.) News.
What an exaggeration: what whop-
per. 1t has been disproved a thous-
sand times; it is a clean case of airy
fancy. 1t doesn't take money to run
a newspaper: it can run without mon
ey. 1t is a charitable institution,
begging concern, highway robber.
B'Godfrey the newspaper is the child
of the air, creature Of dream. 1t
can 90 on and on and on, when any
other concern would be in the hands
Of a receiver and wound up with cob
webs in the window. 1t takes wind
to run a newspaper: it takes gall to
run a newspaper. 1t takes scintil
lating, acrobatic imagination, and
half dozen white shirts, and railroad
pass to run newspaper. But money
Heavens to Betsy and six hands
round, who ever needed money in
conducting newspaper! Kind words
are the medium OF exchange that do
the business for the editor-kind
words and church social tickets.
When you see an editor with money,
watch him. He'll be paying bills and
disgracing his profession. Never give
money to an editor. Make him trade
it out. He likes to swap. Then when
you do, after having stood around for
years and sneered at the editor and
his little Jim crow paper, be sure and
have your wife send in for three extra
copies by one of your weeping children,
and when she reads the generous and
touching notice about you, forewarn
her to neglect TO send fifteen cents to
the editor. 1t would overwhelm him.
Money is a corrupting thing. The
editor knows it and what he wants is
your heartfelt thanks. Then he can
thank the printers and they can thank
their grocers. Take your job work

The United States Senate has been
the butt of a great deal of cheap
criticism for the defeat of the arbi-
tration treaty laid before it for
consideration by President Cleve-
land. The majority of these critics
give their gratuitous opinions with
out due deliberation upon the
gravity of the questions involved.
They accept the treaty as a panacea
for all differences that may arise
between this country and Great
Britain. The treaty, in its object to
settle differences by submitting the
questions involved to a tribunal of
arbitrators, instead of resorting to
war, embodies the universal senti-
ment of the people of the two
nations between which the agree
ment is proposed. If this sentiment
exists, a treaty to effect such a result
is a superhuity. If the articles of
stipulation in the proposed treaty are
of such a nature as in contingencies
to give undue advantage to one party,
then the nation should not be bound
by such obligations. Is the treaty
too general inits application? Would
it not be better to formulate a specific
treaty of arbitration for each cause
of dispute that may arise when the
occasion for such difference arises?
The disposition to deal fairly will
always prompt such a settlement by
arbitration. Do these critics who
talk because talk is cheap and many
people like to hear those in high
places berated, take into considera-
ton the character of the United
States Senate? Before no other
body of men in the nation except
the Supreme Court is a question
considered with more careful in
vestigation and mature elaboration,
and decided with more judicial fair.
ness than before the Senate of the
United States. The man who init
mates that the Senators are a set Of
ehumps or scoundrels only confesses
his own ignorance, or manifests an
indisposition to judge fairly. In
every community there are many
mouths that talk and few heads thai
think. 1t is fortunate for the
country that the members of the
United States Senate take time t.
deliberate upon great questions tina
affect our destiny with thoughtful
consideration. BE sure you ar,

Need of a Bankruptcy Law.

Another effort is soon to be made to
secure the adoption by the present con-
gress of a bankruptcy law which shall
subject the legal conditions governing
Insolvency to uniformity among the
various states. a very succinct and
timely argument for such law is made
by the Philadelphia Ledger when, after
reviewing the numerous influential de-
mands of prominent commercial bodies
for its enactment, it adds
The number of business failures. as re-
ported by the commercial agenciel for
the past three years, is very large. The
great majority of debtors who have be-
come insOlVcnt during the business de-
preston could secure discharge from
court Of bankruptcy and be restored 10
the business world to build up their for
tunes anew. Very many of those thus
rehabiltated would be able in the course
of time to pay their creditors in whole or
in part. 1t is bad policy to keep thousands
of honest men in hopeless insolvency,
and a well-drawa bankruptcy law will
effect their release more certainly than
any other agency. 1t is believed, further
more, that the business of the country
would be stimulated by giving to traders
of limited capital increased credit by the
operation of such a law. Debts could be
more easily and certainly collected
thereby. The distant creditor would not
be so readily displaced by preferences
given by the debtor to home creditors,
to his relatives and friends. a good fed
eral bankruptcy law would have uni
form operation all over the country
and business would be relieved to a great
degree from the uncertainties of conflict
ing state laws applicable to the collection
of debts.
II a federal law can be framed which
will draw a tolerably fair line between
honesty and knavery in failures and
at the same time offer reasonable len
iency to those who are the victims of
unmerited misfortune, it will certainly
go far ahead of the average bankruptcy
legislation OF the separate states, and
fill a long-felt want. The fact that the
lower house of congress has thrice
within the past few years passed a
bill purpOrting to meet these require
ments would seem to warrant hopeful
ness, despite the senate's attitude of
seeming Indifference

A New Primary Election Bill.

Another measure designed to purify
primary elections has been drafted in
this state and will, it is said, be laid
before the legislature. 1t is as yet the
property of Representative Shrink of
Schuylkill county, but some of its pro-
visions have already been made pub
lie, The bill provides that the primaries
of all political parties desiring to nom
mate candidates for state and county
offices shall be held at the regular
polling place on the third Tuesday of
August of each year. from to 7 p. M,
and the elections shall be conducted
by the general election officers of the
precinct These primaries are termed
nomination elections" Every person
desiring to vote at the nomination cleo
tions must be the recognized adherent
of political party, and, if challenged.
must prove that he voted the ticket of
the party he claims membership with,
or make an affidavit that he intends to
vote the ticket of that party at the next
election.
Every aSpirant for a state office must
file with the secretary of the common
wealtha certificateo of his intention to be
a candidate thirty days before the prl-
maries, and must advertise the fact
once week for four weeks, and if he
Is candidate for a county office he
must file his intentions with the coun-
ty commissioners at least twenty days
before. the primaries. After the names
Of the candidates are filed the county
commissioners shall have printed the
ballots of each political party with the
candidates grouped under the titles OF
the offices they are running for. Thus
the Democratic candidates win not BE
on the same ballot as the Republican
candidates. When a voter presents
himself to a cast a ballot at the pri-
maries he must indicate the party he
belongs to, and he is given a ballot con-
tanning the names of the candidates OF
that party. He marks it inside COM
partment. the same as at a genera

Just Old Enough.

In reply to the criticism that John
Sherman is too old to be secretary of
state-a criticism, by the way, that is
almost brutal in it's irreverence-the
Times Herald opportunely points out
that Lord Palmerston directed the des-
tiny of England when he was long past
Sherman's age and died in the harness
at 81. Disraali was prime minister
at 20, and so was Gladstone, the latter
resigning his leadership when past so.
While we have not had many old men
as secretaries Of state, those we have
had have rendered their best service
when bordering on 70. Webster died as
secretary in his list year, and his last
days saw his intellect in its greatest
vigor. Marcy was u when his term
under Pierce closed, General Cass was
"a when he entered Buchanans admin
istration, and Hamilton Fish was 70
when he retired from his arduous SER
vices at the close of Grants adminstra-
ton"
