The Best Way.

II the city business man has a truce
Of the love of nature, one might almost
say Of natural feeling, left in him, it
will give him a homesick emotion to read
in The Cosmopolitan Frank Morgan's
paper on Getting and Spending" A
certain city man had worked so hard day
and night getting rich that it gave him
nervous prostration. He was in a fair
way to Lecome very rich, but the nery-
Gus prostration knocked ont both him
self and his future prospects.
The family were obliged to give up
their horses and carriages, their fash
ionable city house. They sold their old
home with its heavy and costly furni-
ture. Then they took q low, old fash
Toned house upon u side street of II New
England village. The price they paid
for it was $50 small that it seemed al
most a joke" yet it had a porch, lilac
bushes growing at the side and nearly
an acre of ground about it.
The family had money enough left
to keep them comfortably in the New
England village, aud there they first
learned to know the fullness of life and
to revel in life. The man who had nerv-
Gus p%rostration remembered what q
thrill of delight it always gave him to
play truant i'll his boyhood, and he
found that this living in the New Eng
land village was like playing truant the
year around. He became strong and
we'll and happy. He pitied the nervous,
anxious looking city men, deyoured by
the monster that impels them on to
make money. do nothing but make mon
ey all their days. By and by, when they
are wrecks, they have more money than
they need, and their families run into
vulgar show and extravaganza.
The man of the story long since re-
he still lives in the low, old fashioned
house and will go live. He wishes other
men could know how much real happi-
ness there is in such existence. He says:
We are young, ana TO advance TOWARD our
greater achievements we have only to occupy
and distract ourselves less with needless toll
or with expensive toys and to learn that the
true delights Of life lie rather In the joys OF
the heart and the pleasures of the mind. These
joys and pleasures best ripen in the home.
That should have the air of simplicity and the
stamp of our individuality about it and should
not be SO fine MS only 10 express our uphol-
sterer's and cabinct makers ideas.
There In the central hall, or in the room the
family most frequent, write on the northern
wall the word Truth, the stern but necessary
virtue. On the south write the word Beauty,
and dream of all IL means in love and art and
nature. On the west write Sweetness. and let
its mild influence be diffused as softly as the
eolors Of sunset illumine the earth and sea and
sky. On the east wall write Light. and let L.
enter. And, possessing truth and beauty
sweetness and light, dig health and content
ment out Of thine own garden.

When two days of idleness come to

citizen, as they came on Memorial day
and as they will come again this. yea,

The speeches made In connection with
the opening of the Commercial museums
at Philadelphia showed IN the part of
the republics of Central America a gen
eral desire that the United States should
take charge of the Nicaragua canal.
They are right. The United States will
be the champion idiot among nations If
IL does not construct and operate the
canal. The control Of that canal is the
magnificent elimination OF the Monroe

Improve the Parks.

Many important duties will deVolVe
upon the new city councils which next
week will begin a years work, but
among the most important of these is
the duty OF making provisions for per
manent improvements in the parks OF
the city. Nay Aug park has been the
property of the city for several years,
but as yet little or nothing In the way
OF permanent Improvement has been
affected because the councils have not
seen their way clear to allow the park
commissioners u sufficient amount Of
money to make the city's breathing
spots attractive and convenient.
Scranton has not acquired all the
land that is essential for park pur-
poses. but that should not restrain the
city fathers from so arranging the
parks that are now its property that
the people may derive the largest
am rlnt of benefit from them.
Summer is fast approaching and it
Is impossible to make much of change
this year, but steps should be taken at
once that will result i'm a decided
change in the appearance of the parks a
year hence. A wise expenditure of
money for such purpose will meet
with the hearty approval Of people gem
orally.

CAPITOL CHAT.

\ Chicago paper Is curious to see how
much Pennsylvania's new mlllion-dolar
capitol will cost.-New York Times.
The question as TO how much Pennsyl-
vanla's new milllon-dOllar capitol is go
ing to cost is not so absurd as il looks at
first glance Boston Herald.
The question Is being put In Chicago:
How much ought a milllon-dollar public
building to cOst?' Several cities aud
states are trying hard 10 solve this con-
undrum.-Boston Globe
Pennsylvania is to build a new state
capitol TO cost $3.50. 900. This means that
when the structure Is completed the bills
for t win amount to something like
$1,000, ,OOO-New York Mail and Express,
The PENNSYLVANIA legislature has fixed
the cost of the proposed new state house
at 81 100000. That ought to be enough,
but the chances are that the new capitol
will cost twice that amount before 1t Is
completed Times-Star.
Governor Hastings recommendation of
S550, 600 for a new capitol is more than
sufficient ana the recommendation of the
public building committee increasing IT
one half more should be rejected. half
million more simply means that much
moro to be recklessly expended without a
fair return.--Hazleton Standard.
If Pennsylvania is I'm real doubt whether
TO spend $500, 600 or S3,OOO,OOO for a capitol,
the example of other states may throw
light lpon her choice, The building of
other state houses points to the belief
that an original appropriation Of SGO0,O00
will IN all probability end in a s., 900, 900

tion of 5000 600 win end in a 5000, 900 capt.

Discouraging for Populists.

1t is predicted by experts that the
Kansas wheat crop will amount to at
least 50,OOO,OOO bushels this year. This
state of affairs is encouraging to all
but the Populists. The restless band of
Croaking Jeremiahs who thrive on cal
amity and distress viii be at loss for
campaign ammunition unless some
thing intervenes to destroy the hopes of
the Industrious husbandman of Kan
sas. 1t is a common saying out west
that when the country is up the POpu-
lists are down and when the country is
down the Populists are jubilant.
The Western Populist is very much
like the Pennsylvania Democrat. He
is natural born calamity bowler. He
looks upon the dark side of life and
gloats over hard times that cannot be
at once alleviated under Republican
rule. lie looks upon industry with sus-
picion for fear that the enterprise
which furnishes work for the honest
artisan may at the same time be maxi
ing profits for some trust or corpora
tion. He Is continual fountain Of
sorrow; a cup Of grief that is always
overlooking. When crops are buuntiful
and times are good and everybody is
happy the Populist hunts his hole and
meditates. The announcement that
Kansas win have an enormous wheat
crop this year will cause CONSERVATION
in the Populistic camp. There will be
really nothing to howl over.

TO the action of the National Guard of
New York in setting an example that
might be followed i'm this state in curb

who belittle the uniform which distin-
guishes the military from the private
citizen. The New York guardsmen are
up In arms against the imitators of the

shoulders TO give a warlike appearance.

If all who hate would love US,
And all our loves were true,
The stars that swing above us
Would brighten in the blue;
If cruel words We're kisses,

If purses would untighten
TO meet a brothers need,
The load we bear would tighten
Above the grave Of greed.
If those who whine would whistle,
And those who languiSh laugh,
The rose would rOut the thistle

For Ballot Reform.

The Philadelphia Bulletin calls atten-
tion to what it terms needed reform of
the present ballot law in the way of
simplifying the classification of Candi-
dates Oh the official ballot and of less
ening the obstacles to Independent vot-
ing.
The pulletin urges that the huge and
cumbersome ballot is cause of per-
plcXity even to well-informed voters.
To many citizens it has been produc-
tive of almost hopeless confusion of
mind, ard not few have taken refuge
from their difficulties in hap-hazard
marking or in voting the straight
ticket when they had gone to the polls
with the intention of doing otherwise.
The original purpose of the Austria
liam system" when introduced was not
only to insure secrecy to the ballot but
to simplify voting and to give the
voter the opportunity of an intelligent
discrimination in his choice Of Candi-
dates. Under the present system the
voter is confronted on election day with
a handAill of circus-p poster dimensions
so arranged as to require careful eX-
animation of the various columns in
order to avoid mistakes.
The Bulletin thinks that this should
be corrected by the legislature, but
clierS no remedy. The Baker ballot
law though without imperfections has
been considered the most practicable
scheme in the interest of fair and hon
est elections. If improvements can be
suggested no doubt they will be gladly
: received by voters throughout the COM
monwealth.

Punishment for Bicycle Thieves.

A New Jersey Judge has touched
the popular chord in sentencing a bi-
cycle thief to two years in the peni-
tentiary. Although at first the punish
ment might seem u trifle severe, in
view of all circumstances 1t Is doubt
less just. The number of bicycles
stolen last year justifies stern treat
ment of bicycle thieves. The ease
with which such a theft may be COM
mitted. the stolen article itself afford
ing the means of escaping with the
booty, and the difficulty of recovering
the property if the thief has a little
start, all combine to make it necessary
that the punishment of the crime
should be severe enough to act as de-
terrent.
The Judge who sentenced the thief
said that bicycle thefts had become so
frequent that it was necessary to do
something to check this form of steal
ing. and that it was his intention to
make it as safe for a bicycle owner to
leave his wheel in the street as it was
for wagon driver to let his team stand
at the curbstone while he went inside a
building.
Wheelmen in this section have in past
been greatly annoyed by the depreda-
tions of the bicycle thieves and many
have for protection joined wheel insur-
ance companies TO whom they are
obliged to pay assessments yearly in
order to have wheels replaced in case
they are stolen. a few convictions ana
sentences in the line of New Jersey
justice will doubtless accomplish much
in the way of suppressng the evil.

Mr.. McKinley's Popularity.

The popularity of President McKin-
ley seems to increase as the days go by.
Within the few weeks that he has
served as chief magistrate the new
president has convinced all that he is
a man of the people. SO far as can be
judged, according to Washington dis
patches, Mr.. Mckinley is amiable and
democratic, and his affable manners
are appreciated in marked contrast to
those of his predecessor.
1t was about as hard to reach Cleve-
land when he was president as it is to
reach the presence of the Chinese EN-
press. During the last Cleveland ad-
ministration the white house was sur
rounded by policemen and sentry boxes.
When Cleveland lived at his country
place at Woodley, the road between the
white house and the country seat of
the chief executive was strewn with
mounted policemen, and the only con-
spicuous objects in the grounds at the
Woodley mansion We're police officers
lolling under the trees.
Mckinley has dispanded the white
house police force. He has had the
sentry boxes removed. He walks
around the streets as he did when he
was a member Of the house He speaks
TO old friends and acquaintances as he
did of old. and while he undoubtedly
is crowded to the wall by the office
seekers and must be tired to death
any body who desires To see him ON any
real business finds no difficulty in get
ting AN interview with him.
