Col. Watterson is reported to have
said that the late Mr.. Goehel was an
exemplary man personally, but that
he began TO realize shortly after Tay-
lOr'S election hat the Goebel law not
exactly the sort of a measure which
should remain on the statute books
OF his state long. This of
the case is all right as far as it goes.
None of GOebel's enemies, SO far as
we know, and they-Republicans. in
dependent Democrats and Populists-
constituted a large majority of the
people of his state, made any assault
on Goebel's personal character. They
merely said be was an unfit man to be
Governor. and they defeated him al
the polls. If Goebel realized in his
closing days the infamous character
of the Goebel law he merely began to
grasp Il truth which most of the rest
OF his fellow-coGntrymen saw a long
while earlier. The Goebei law must

A rIaSterly Policy.

v IGHT IS beginning to break
through the Chinese clouds.
IL The reply OF President Nc
Knley to the emperor of
China supplies an unmistakable evil
dence that the government of the
United States has no Interior purpose
in it's military occupancy of Chinese
soil and that it will do its best to pre-
serve China from spolation and dis
memberment provided the ruling au-
thorities in China will for their part
deal openly and honorably with our
government.
AS the case stands, the United States,
through these unhappy days of fright
full rumor and disquietng circum-
stances, has been consistent and toler-
ant In friendship for the Chinese gov
ernment. 1t has withheld the other
powers from rushing summarily into a
declaration of war. 1t has abstained
from any act of aggression directed
against the lawful authorities in China
and been a potent obstacle in the way
of aggression by others. 1t has refused
to believe without confirmation the
worst that has been rumored regarding
the governing class in China and has
accepted in good faith the assurances
of the Chinese government that the
fanatical outrages in China have been
in violation of its orders, contrary to
its wishes and temporarily beyond its
repressive and punitive control. Yet at
no time has it neglected to take what
ever precautions might be found ad-
Vantageous in case the representations
officially received from the Chinese
government should be proved decept-
i've.
Thus II has established a claim ia
the lasting good will of all honorable
Cinnamon without loss of strategic
position in case 1t shall be necessary
10 teach the dishonOrable ones a les
son. 1t must soon appear to which
class the Pekin authorities must be as
cribed. If to the former, we have added
to their obligations and paved the way
to new prestige In the Middle Kingdom
If to the latter, we have made so fai,
an effort to treat them considerately
that a change in treatment will offend
no principle of justice.

doavor to safeguard its future, then
there is hope that he may be made
to take hold of the new problems
now facing our city as the pioneers
took hold of the earlier problems while
this city was being bunded.
The prospective retirement of the
steel mills need not affect Scranton
adversely If our business men will take
measures to offset 1t. Those mills will,
of course, be missed, but two or three
very much smaller industries, work.
ing steadily and making more uni
form disbursement of wages into the
channels Of general trade, would more
than supply all deficiencies and leave
the city decidedly the gamer in con-
sequence of the change. There is free
capital enough in Scranton, hundred
times over, to capitalize such new In
dustries and to convert what super.
fiCially seems a loss into an actual
beneft. 1t cannot be expected to In
vest itself for philanthropic purposes
wholly; no reasonable person expects
that; but 1t is preposterous to suppose
that sufficient business skill does not
exist among our inhabitants or sub
ject to their call to pilot to profitable
results such investments as may be
necessary to replace any which may
be withdrawn.
For the reason that The Tribune is
more interested In the development of
Scranton just now than in the devel-
opment of bituminous coal lands in
western Pennsylvania, 1t must decline
to accept the invitation of its cores
pondent. 1t does not question the mo-
tives of others, but for itself it wants
to see the money of Scranton used
as far as possible in increasing the
prosperity of Scranton. If there is a
surplus not available locally then the
claims of other places will be in more
seemly order.

EDUCATIONAL CHANGES.
From the Chicago Times-Herald.

From the Chlcago llmes' Herald
Better proof Of the fact that the people are
drifting away from pills and litigation could not
be furnished than is presented by the remarkable
growth Of technical education in the United
States Time was when the surplus proceeds OF
the farm were devoted TO educating the farm
ers son in law OF in medicine, The farmer did
not want his son to be tiler of the soil or
mechanic. He must be a lawyer or DOCTOR
once In a great while he was educated for the
ministry These stood out in the farmers mind
as the highways 10 the loftest mountain tops
Of human ambition,
But our wonderful industrial development has
wrought a great change in educational ideas.
Even the public schools are endeayorng in their
limited way to meet the public demand for an
education that trains the hands as well as the
mind and which lays the foundation for me
chanical and scientific pursuits. Realizing that
the "polite professions" are Improbable and
overcrowded, young men are now shaping their
education with a view to becoming electrical
and mining engineers.
Il Is only since the war that technical educa'
ton-the application Of the sciences to the needs
Of man-has had any marked development, The
drift to electrical engineering, in fact, dates

>" HE TRIBUNE has received
from a resident of one of
II the western counties of this
state a letter telling of
large opportunities for profitable in
