The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-05-18

The convention of the National Sla-
vonic society now in session in Wilkes
Barre is interesting by reason of the
opportunity which it affords to native
Americans to familarize themselves
with and extend cooperation to a most
laudable work that is being performed
under this society's auspices among a
large alien element in our citizenship,
the proper training Of which is a mat
ter Of the utmost importanca.
The National Slavonic society, as it's
worthy president, Mr.. p. V. Rovnianek,
explains, was organized six years ago
in Pittsburg for the purpose of bring
ing together the scattered communities
OF Slavonic immigrants in the United
States for their mutual aid and pro-
lection. There are today more than 25O
local assemblies and over 10000 MEM
bers. The society has three principal
objects: To render mutual assistance
by the payment of sick and death bene-
fits; to make good citizens of its men,
bers; and to afford them such educa-
tional advantages as hard working men
can best avail themselves of. 1T is"
says President Rovnianek. "a rigid re-
quirement of the organization that af-
ter five years membership each MEM
Der shall become citizen of the United
States. It's work in the making of cit
izens does not cease when they have
procured their naturalization papers,
but it constantly puts forth efforts to
induce them to educate themselves in
their duties as citizens, by studying the
laws, customs and history of the coun-
try where in the future they and their
descendants are to live. The society
spends a great deal of money each year
in preparing and circulating literature
which is especially adapted to this pur-
pose"
When we add that the society, while
in sympathy with religious teachings,
is non-sectarian and open on equal
terms to Protestants and Catholics, a
case is made that appeals very strongly
TO American interest and sympathy.
The SlavOnian people respond quickly
TO uplifting influences and become,
when educated, admirable citizens. To
the efforts of this convention to hasten
the day of the Acknowledgement and as
similation of this class of immigra-
tion we wish all possible success.

Save Pearl Iiarbor,

A reciprocity treaty was negotiated
with Hawaii during the Harrison ad-
ministration under which our exports
TO those islands multiplied .tenfold
Upon the strength of it 10000, 900 of
American capital has since been in
vested In Hawaii. The abrogation Of
that treaty would work ruin to these
investments and wantonly sacrifice a
valuable and growing export trade.
The treaty itself provided that It could
not be brought to a conclusion without
one years notice; but the senate
finance committee, at the behest of the
sugar trust, has put in its version Of
the Dingley bill clause abrogating
that treaty summarily.
Should this action OF the finance COM
mittee be sustained by congress and
the president, it still will be a question
in law whether the abrogation will be
valid; but mischief will have been done
in the contempt shown for our
pllghted faith, i'm the striking down OF
American trade possibilities and in the
sacrifice 10 the sugar trust of Amer
ican cane-growers and sugar shippers
in Hawaii. Most important of ALL by
the abrogation of this treaty we would
lose the right to control Pearl HarboI
as a coaling station in time Of war
and thus our Pacific commerce would
be left at the mercy of any foreign
foe owning boats to prey upon 1t.
We cannot thir 1hat the senate OF

A StarchIess Civn Service.

The memorandum attached by Gov
ernOr Black, of New York, to his sigma
ture of the "starchless' civil service
discussion. The bill in substance pro-
vides for two kinds of examination for
applicants to office. One examination
is to be made by the regular civil SER
vice commission or it's representative,
and Is to determine the candidates
mental quality. The grade given in
this examination is not to exceed so.
Names of candidates thus examined
are to be forwarded to those who hold
the power of appointment, and when
one of these wants help, he is to hold
or cause TO be held a second examina-
required Of the appointee. Here again
the highest grade cannot be more than
So and the winner of the examinations
will be he whose two grades add closest
to 100 per cent.
BY this means 1t is hoped to secure
men not only bright mentally, but also
possessed of tact, experience, good
habits, pleasing manners and other
| qualities not to be discovered by a
routine examination according to the
plan heretofore in vogue. 1t is true, as
the governor asserts, that mo man in
his private business could hope to sue
ceed If he selected his help in accord
ance with the present civil service
rules. No man in his private business
ever. does so select, yet it is universally

Is that public officers cannot be trust

GOOD BYE TO STEAM.
From the Providence Journal.

From the Providence Journal
Travelling by rail viii be better worth
the while when the dirt and noise of the
steam locomotive has been done away
with. The discomforts of a summer ride
will give place to the genuine enjoyment
which now attaches to a trolley ride into
the suburbs, only the pleasure will be in
creased proportiOnately with the greater
variety of scene the longer ride will give
and the swifter speed at which the car
will move. The passing of the stage
coach had more than a sentimental effect
upon men and manners in the United
States, and the disappearance OF the loco
motive before the electric motor will in
volve far-reaching changes in our COM
mercial and social relations.

Improvidence and self-indulgence, blk
ing and guzzlng, are the genius" of that
imaginary realm (Bohemia). Its litera-
ture seems to consist of the French of
shabby table d'hotes and it's life in an
effort to find happiness in being down at
the heels, unkempt and disreputable.
There are still persons who delight TO
style themselves "Bohemians" and to re-
gard with scorn the base Philistines who
wear clean shirts and pay honest debts.
These Bohemians deserve certain pity,
for although they are humbugs, they
practice n kind OF life so wearisome and
frowsy that their voluntary punishment
seems almost more than BELTS natures es-
sentially weak and secondhand.

A LIFE LESSON.


There, little girl, don't cry
They've broken your doll know
And your tea set blue
And your toyhouse, too,
Are things of the long ago;
But childish troubles will soon pass by
There, little girl, don't cry.
There, little girl, don't cry;
They've broken your slate, / know,
And the glad wild ways
OF your schoolgirl days
Are things of the long ago;
But life and love will soon come by;
There, little girl, don't cry;
There, little girl, don't cry;
They've broken your heart, know,
And the rainbow CLEANS
OF your youthful dreams
Are things of the long ago;
But Heaven holds all for which you Sigh
There, little girl don't cry

SOUND AND JUST.

From the Washington Star.
The Dingley bill, as originally drawn,
was a sound and just measure. 1t pro-
vided for the raising of enough revenue
for the support of the government, and
for a reasonable protection to American
industries. 1t was a national bill, in that
all sections were remembered In it and
would benefit by it. The men who draft
ed 1t were not only competent for their
work, but enjoyed a very high reputation
before the country.

A mistaken Policy.

It will be mistake If the Democrats
In congress shall seek to make parti-
san issue over the presidents message
asking for funds to apply to the relief
of the destitute Americans in Cuba.
We recognize that the executives po-
sition would be utterly illogical If he
were to contemplate no additional action
in the near future. The fact that AM
orleans in Cuba have been placed in
jeopardy as to their very lives by rea-
son of Spain's inhuman tactics carries
with it a duty not to be ended by the
purely selfish rescue of our own. The
crisis which moves the president to
succor his countrymen in Cuba will not
permit him to pause when that mission
shall be accomplished while hundreds
of thousands of lives, just as valuable
In the sight of heaven as our own, are
ground to the sacrifice beneath Wey-
ler's iron heel.
But the last step cannot be taken
first The Democrats should not COM
plicate the removal of our citizens from
Cuba. The forcing of the Cuban issue
prior to such removal might incite
violence among the Spanish and cause
the shedding of innocent blood, in
which event we should have gained
nothing and lost much. Once let that
removal be effected, however and the
field will then be cleared for whatever
action our government may feel to be
due to it's commanding position as the
responsible premier influence for lib
erty and justice in this hemisphere.
That will be the time for us TO strike.

certify to the qualifications OF his in
competent and low-bred friends with

ent departments. He pays no penalty
for their inefiiclency or mlsdeed, while,
on the other hand, the head of every
department is responsible for the con-
duct OF its affairs. He is always under
bonds, and the penalty for the cor
ruption or stupidity Of his subordi-

they can accomplish good results un-

LEGAL INTELLIGENCE,
A pIvoRcEgs PROPERTY RIGHTS

The question whether a woman who has Sc
cured a divorce can insist holding a policy Of
insurance her husbands life In which she Is
the beneficiary was decided IN the womans favor
by Justice Pryor In the Supreme Court yesterday.
Mrs. Juiette Ryan in the spring of 1896 brought
Q suit for an absolute divorce against her husband
James Ryan. who brought a counter-sut against
her. When the actions were tried Mrs Ryan was
unsuccessful. but her husband proved she had been
unfaithfu to him. and received a decree OF abso-
lutte divorce. under which she was Invested Of any
interest previously held by her In his property
Ryan had previously insured his life in his wife's
favor in the New-York Life Insurance Company
for 5000 Under the terms OF the policy. at the
end of certain period he will be entitled 10 receive
from the company 1890 In cash. Ryan now
serts that by the inadvertence Of his counsel this
policy not specifically mentioned In the decree
OF divorce. and he seeks to have the decree mod
ifed. Mrs: Ryan says the payments Of premiums
on the policy were made by her out OF her own
money and that Ryan had delivered up the policy
TO her. This Ryan denies.
Justice Pryor IN his opinion says: by divorce
against wife only her dover and distributive
share In the husbands estate forfeited and
she continues owner Of her separate property. No
by the pleadings and no proof touching II was
presented at the trial. The motion is therefore
denied without costs"
