POINTS AND MOOT POINTS.


Han is a silhouette seen against eter-
nifty.
Self Is too small a canvas to waste
time on.
Effort should beget smiles; not blood
or tears.
1t Ia natural to succeed. Failure Is
degeneration.
God is infinite pleasure; to be happy
is to worship him.
Timidity develops far worse vices
than courage does.
Life Is a battle-no exemptions; vol
untssr, or be drafted.
A loving sincerity excuses some very
blunt observations.
II you break the she'll OF decency you
will become offensive.
Many a wise man is harnessed and
driven to death by fool.
The fool knows beauty as we'll, or
better, than the philosopher
Passion runs round the world while
piety is putting on its sandals.

tidalwave.
Education Is to get nature and the
God Of nature into our souls-no great
matter how.
The bank of life Is always overdrawn
on certain moral yalues-delicacy, for
instance.
A moral exchange where we could
deposit our surplus values and recoup
our deficiencies, wonld be very ben

A corner in heaven will be reserved

we assume heaven to be the rendez-

Living statues head the procession
of beauty and love, ghosts Of old phil

Melancholy is the unwholesome

Scheme May Work Harm.

From the Hazleton Plain Speaker.
On and after August / the names of
all people receiving aid from the Middle
Coal Field Poor District are to be pub
lshed. This is to be done the directors
say, in order that undeserving parties
may not impose on the district, the be-
lief being prevalent that there are quite
a number on the lists now who are de-
pending on poor aid while able to sup
port themselves. On the other hand,
however, this scheme may work harm.
There are poor people here who would
not wish to have their names published
because they would not like to have
their neighbors stare at them and call
them beggars, which neghbors in any
town are rather liable to do. Publica-
tion OF the names may lessen the ex-
pense OF relief but it may also tend to
prevent many deserving poor from ap-
plying for aid from the poor district.

A Lecture on Hygiene and tho Pupils
Reply to n Question.
There Is a lady occupied In the in
struction Of the Juvenile mind who Is
quite willing to confess that the pupils
who attend her classes do not do all
the learning. Some of the small folks
under her tuition occasionally astonish
her with their superior knowledge Of
the modernly developed resources Of
the English language. A lecture on
hygiene had been included in the pro-
gramme for the day, and she had
taken care to show the effects of al
cohol and tobacco upon the system.
She impressed her teachings by means
OF anatomical charts, which gave es-
pecial lucidity to her remarks when
she came to warning the little girls,
years in advance Of any practical need
the dangers OF tight lacing. One Of
the little girls, whose home surround
ings are of the sort in which ease
rather than elegance of expression Is
sought, listened with profound atten-
ton.
Now, Margaret" the teacher said,
''you may see how well you remember
what l have said about tight lacing
and tell us why it is injurious"
There was no response.
Il mean you, Maggie" the teacher
added, and the girl jumped to her feet
as she recognized the more familiar
name.
"Tight lacing, ma'am, Is injurious,
ma AM"
She hesitated and the teacher smiled
encouragingly and said, go on"

One Of the great bugbears of spins
terhood has been demolished by Min
nesota woman. Though she had had
many suitors, of course, she was still
unwedded at thirty, and one day, as
she was sending off gift to a girl
friend who was about to be married,
she bewailed the fact that the bachelor
girl never got wedding presents or a
trousseau. Her father promised that
she herself should not be sighted in
this respect, whether she married or
not, and few weeks ago, when she
accepted the offer of business position
and decided to take up her bachelor
residence in Chicago, the old gentle
man was as good as his word. He
gave her a handsome check to buy
complete outfit of clothes, f,om shoes
to bonnets, and many of her friends
took up the idea and gave her useful
and ornamental articles for her bache-
lor apartment. And now it is an
nounced-whether 1t be through the
aid Of her fine feathers or not is not
stated-she is to marry the president
of the company that employs her.

Preparing for the Doodle Feast.

Like flock of hungry yultures
lowering over what promises to be the
scene of desperate battle, the spoils-
men OF the Republican party are await
ing the call for the next county conven-
tion. In some polling districts, es-
pecially in the Fourth legislative
district, where the appetites of the
money-seekers were whetted by the
recent state delegate contest, candi-
dates for delegates have already an
nounced themselves. The majority,
however, are awaiting the official call
to the Doodle feast, for that is what the
convention promises to be. That is
what every up-to-date Republican CON
yention in Pennsylvania has come to,
and never before were indications of a
money-ruled gathering greater than
they are for the occasion named.
We believe that some of the honest
men OF the Republican party will en-
deavor to win seats in this convention
and that some of them will succeed,
but Judging from the methods now
in vogue even at primary elections
the wcl-meaning politicians of the
party will be overwhelmingly defeated
as general rule.
Those Republicans who would re-
deem their party from the rule of the
money-mongers are today in hopeless
minority. The careless, indifferent
members of the party, the men who vote
for delegate regardless OF what or who
the delegate represents, the sell-my-
soul-for-a-cent men, the lickspittles of
power and the baser elements of society
are opposed to them.
The glitter of the gold which has
been distributed at the Republican
gatherings during the past few years in
this county has attracted to that party
all the unprincipled men of all parties
and has corrupted and destroyed the
manhood OF thousands who would othe.
wise have become good citizens. The
party is now controlled by those who
love money better than principle, anC
any man who cannot add that to hi
creed will receive scant courtesy at thu
coming convention.

Isn't Protection the Mother of Trusts:

From the Philadelphia Press.
The American Tin Plate Company
has done serious harm to its own in
terests and may do still more injury
to the iron and steel industries of the
country by precipitating a contest with
its labor over the wages scale.
The tin-pate industry is the child OF
protective tariff. 1t could not exist
without it. The tariff was imposed not
to benefit individuals or tin-plate max
ers but to create and maintain u new
industry, to foster competition and to
advance wages. Whenever it is clear
to the American people that the protec-
tive tariff is not doing this its rates will
be lowered, and whenever it is clear of
any particular rate that it is not doing
this in its particular industry this rate
will be cut.
The iron and steel industry as whole
is aware of this. Prices have not been
unduly advanced. Competition has
been maintained. The wages scale has
been as whole and in its parts, most
liberal. Exceptions have existed, but
while the average ad valorem rate on
iron and steel has been from 40 to so per
cent on the average-it was in 1898
under the present tariff 45.51 per cent
the rate Of wages has been twice that
abroad. This has never been clearer
than this year. Advances in iron and
steel wages have gone on all over the
country. The amalgamated scale this
year is extremely high; but its wages
sheet is being accepted both by works
that sign it and by works that do not.
For the American Tin Plate Company
to get in controversy with its men
under these conditions challenges the
entire issue. This company is distrust-
ed as "trust." 1t was the first to ad-
vance prices, though they are not now
in excess of the advance on billcts and
plates from which its tin sheets are
rolled. 1t can afford to pay high wages
and it ought to pay high wages. Into
the specific merits of this particular
controversy we do not propose to enter.
1t is a technical issue, in which, as
usual, there is case for each side, and
a compromise would be fair But it is a
safe general proposition that monopo-
ized industry protected by the tariff
which has wage conflict on its hands
In time of great prosperity has done
It's permanent interests injury, risked
its own production and dealt blow to
= the entire cause of protection.
