MYTHS OF patriotism.

Among the cherished beliefs OF the
American people Is one that Frederick
the Great sent sword to George
washington inscribed: From the old
est general In Europe. to the greatest
general on earth" OF the five swords
bequeathed by Washington one was
supposed to be the gift OF Frederick.
and II Is now I'm the possession of the
State OF New York. The other day
when Prince Henry visited Albany this
sword was shown to him with the as
surance that IL was the first pledge Of
friendship of the royal house of Prus-
sIa for the republic to which Prince
Henry's visit would convey another.
But the carping critic. the literary
iconocIast, Is always with us. He has
destroyed faith in the story OF the
cherry tree and the Ratchet: he has
questioned the unselfishness OF the Bos-
ton tea party; even the story OF Wash
fngton's prayer at Valley Forge he puts
under suspicion: he tells Us that. when
the dying Webster said Il still live
he meant IL as a reminder to his nurse
who had been told by the doctor that.

prising to hear. as we do in publish
ed letter from Moncure ID. Conway
that the sword from Frederick the
Great is a myth. There is no such
sword" says Mr.. Conway. Among the
relics bought by the State from Mrs.
Lewis Washington in 1871, there is
dress sword, but IL has no inscription,
and IL certainly was not sent by Fred
erick the Great. mentioned the
legend to Carlyle. soon after the COM
pietion OF his Life Of Frederick; he had
heard of it and declared it an absurd
fiction.
Frederick was no admirer OF Wash
ington. In his numerous letters Mr..
Washington is but once mentioned,
and then incidentally and without the
slightest interest or knowledge. NJ.
d'Alembert and Frederick's other cor
respondents in France did their best
to extort from him some word about
Washington and the struggle in Ameri-
ca. but he obstinately refused to al
Jude To either. Frederick authorized
the sending OF Hessians to fight
against this country. He refused to see
an American envoy. He never in any
way recognized the independence OF
this country. His fear of offending
George III was extreme"
This would seem to vest the sword
story with the need Of more corrobora-
tive detail. for Mr.. Conway is an his
torical authority But what a pity it
Is that the interesting tale cannot
stand unchalIenged, So much that we
once took pride in has gone from the
earlier annals OF the republic. that IL
wrenches the soul OF the honest patriot
to part with more.

What can the public think of judges
who send a bailiff to the steamship Of
fee to book them for the Coast merely
as a cheap practical joke on the COM
munity? Such trick might be expect
ed of schoolbOys or corner loungers, but
IL would be incomprehensiblei in judges
who had even a faint sense of dignity.
That the trick deceived but few show
ed it's mental shallowness- The degra-
dation OF the bench has gone very far
when its occupants easily play the
clown.

internal politics of Great Britain dur
ing the past fifty years or more, he
would probably award the palm to the
weekly fun-maker. Where the thunder
of The Times reaches the ears of a
million people the cartoons of Punch
draw the eyes of ten millions. The
crowd best likes the impressions that
come pictoriaIly; and that is why the
enemies of public order like them least.
Napoleon himself tried by an action in
the British courts to suppress the car
icaturists; but he failed in the effort,
as all men must fail in a free country
and among free men. 1t was not the
attacks of the French press upon the
British government two years ago
which nearly brought Anglo-French
diplomacy to an impasse; but the Carl
catures some of them inexcusable, of
the Partisan pencil artists.
The Advertiser. which brought the
cartoon to Hawaii, has found it an
ally in the fight for good government
here, the loss of which could not be
compensated for by any addition that
might be made to the editorial staff.
What is it that makes our public
rogues writhe and cry out and invoke
the misused weapons of the law? 1t
is not the writing of the paper. how
ever plain-spoken that may be. so
much as it is the really powerful
drawings of the young artist whose
reputation may soon carry him to a
metropolitan field. The influence of
the Yardley cartoon in exposing pre-
tentious humbug and rascality and
holding them up to derision and scorn,
and its influence in restraining all
manner of public corruption in this
Territory, is a matter so clear to the
Advertisers widespread clientele that
it needs no special elucidation here.

Charles Dorsey, of Scranton, made a
great gain in The Tribune's Educational
Contest yesterday, going from twenty
seventh to nineteenth place, thus pass
ing eight other contestants. 1t took but
fourteen points to make this big gain
and demonstrates what The Tribune
has so often said, that there are great
possibilities for those at the bottom of
the list, or who have not even scored a
point. Another fourteen points and Mr..
Dorsey would be in fourteenth place.
Albert Freedman also made a big re-
turn, scoring thrty-nine points and
passing up from eighth to seventh
place. This again separates the two
Carbondale boys, and places Mr.. Freed
man but six points behind sixth place
Elmer Williams, of Elmhurst, and
Miss Mary Yeager, of Green Ridge, are
now tied for thirty-third place. AS Miss
Yeager scored her ten points first, her
name remains in the published list of
contestants.
Leroy Stanton, of Scranton, added to
his score and now holds ninth place by
twenty-six points.
A. j. Kellerman, OF Scranton, also
bettered his total and is but twenty-five
points behind the holder of second place
this morning.
Today being a holiday the business
office of The Tribune will be closed, but
the Contest Editor will be at his desk
between 4.30 and p. m. to receive the
points of contestants, and to credit
those who send in points by mail.

MEETING OF POOR BOARD
Resignation of DR.. j. M. Carnochan
Accepted and DR.. William Lynch
Named as His Successor.

The poor board met yesterday after
noon and heard a large number of ap-
plications for relief. The resignation of
DR.. j. NJ. Carnochan, as physician at
the Hillside Home, was received and
accepted, and DR.. William Lynch, who
has been serving in the position during
the last few months, was appointed to
the place for the balance of the year.
DR.. Carnochan is now practicing medi-
cine at Princeton, N. j.
The report of Superintendent Beemer
showed that there are now 43O inmates
at the home, of which number 127 men
are insane and LA women are in the
same condition. There were eleven
deaths during the month.
William Roe, who has been receiving
aid from the board for some months,
rather unwilling to go there. He is
possessed of peculiar affliction of the
neck, which renders his appearance on
the streets rather repulsive. A Mrs.
Coons, of Ala Beech street, who applied
for aid, was offered admission to the
Home, but she also refused 1t.
She declared she was willing to ac-
cept any other kndnesses from the
thought of entering the hillside insti-
| tuition. Mrs. Katherine Jordan, an aged
woman, living with her daughter, on
Railroad avenue, was admitted to the
Home, as were also Mrs. Marion Fisch
and Mr.. and Mrs. John Downey.
j. P. eczema argued volubly to the
members of the board that the strike
had rendered him helpless. He was for
merly a peddler and sold jewelry and
trnkets to the men about the collieries.
Now this occupation has been taken
from him, and he claimed he was in
need of the necessaries of life. The
case was referred to Director Shotton.
The last two men to appear before
the members were Andrew Seeley and
Sam White, two middle-aged men, who
left the Hillside Home short time ago,
with the intention of supporting them
selves. 1--WE can't do it, gentlemen"
one of them ruefully remarked, land
we'll be mighty glad if you let us back
to the old place again." Both men were
admitted to the Home.

WILL REMOVE ! THE PIERS.
distractions in Carbc.,s Etreet Are to
Be Taken out-Pave Can
Then Be Laid.

Director of Public Works John E.
Roche yesterday received communica-
tions from the Delaware. Lackawanna
and Western Railroad company and
the New York. Ontario and Western
Railroad company, announcing their
willingness to remove the piers support
ing the Carbon street railroad bridge,
and thus do away with the greatest OBJ
stacles to the paving Of the street.
Mr.. Roche also received commune
cation from the Scranton Coal COM
pany, which voluntarily presents the
the street, near Penn avenue. This
strip is one hundred and fifteen feet In
length, and is two and three-tenths feet
wide in it's broadest part
This gift will enable the street to have
uniform width throughout, from Penn
avenue to the Lackawanna river bridge.
The coal company, at present, has
retaining wall on the land, but this will
be torn down and moved back.
The piers which must be removed,
consist of one large stone pier and three
columns. They support four tracks.
The letters which Director Roche re-
ceived yesterday were from Chief En-
gineer w. K. McFarlin, of the Lacka-
wanna and C. T.. Knickerbocker, en-
gineeer of maintenance Of way for the
Ontario and Western. They are both
eager to have work started as soon as
possible.
Mr.. Roche has been endeavoring to
have the companies take action on this
matter for some time, and felt consider
ably elated yesterday over the success
full outcome of negotiations. Said he to
a Tribune man:
1.-THE three companies are benefiting
the city, without being under any obli-
cations whatsoever in the matter, and
are doing this work at a total expense
of s25,000. We have been working for
the last two years to get them to help
us with this paving of Carbon street,
and now that 1t at last appears as a
thing of reality, we feel thoroughly
satisfied with the way the companies
have acted. The street needs paving
badly, and the fact has long been recog-
nized. These letters from Mr.. McFar-
lin and Mr.. Knickerbocker both favor
an immediate beginning of the work,
but cannot say just when operations
will be started on the pave.
"The street is TO be paved by private
contract. The city has already con-
tributed its share, one-half of the total
sum necessary. The city appropriation
is $2,62l.25 AS soon as the piers and
wall are removed, and the street thus
clear from all obstruction, work ought
TO be begun"

ADJOURNED AS A JOKE.
Very Short Meeting of Select Council
Last Nirht.

The select council met last night and
had one OF the shortest sessions on
record. While the minutes of the last
meeting were being read f. II. Clemons
engaged Chairman Joseph Oliver in
conversation and they continued to
talk after the minutes had been APP
proved.
Move to proceed to the next order
or business" said Mr.. Chlttenden who
wanted the council to get down to busi-
ness. Mr.. Clemons and the chairman
continued to chat.
Move we adjorn," said Mr.. Chitten-
den..
The motion was seconded the chair
man put 1t to the house, number of
members voting to adjourn as a joke
believing the other members would vote
1t down.
After council adjourned the members
discovered that they did not want to
adjourn for there was deal of busi-
ness to be disposed of, but the deed had
been done.

Besides this there are the travelling ex-
penses of prisoners and witnesses in gov
ernment cases which again would be half
as much from district in which the dis
tances are cut down one.haf. Really the
cut would be more than that for the
law requires that Il prisoner shall be tried
at the next session of the court wherever
1t may be, and 1t has frequently happened
that man arrested at Scranton after
the sessions at that place have been con-
cluded. has to be taken with all the wit
nesses from the place of his arrest at
large extra expense to himself as we'll as
to the government to some distant point
in the district such as Pittsburg or Erie,
and If, from stress of other business the
case is not disposed of there, again car
ried on long distance to the next place
of sitting
IT is NOW REMEDIED.
This is a matter we'll known and COM
mented upon in the marshals and dis
trict attorneys offices, and of course so
far as possible is avoided. But 1t Is un-
avoidable in many cases, and when that
Is so 1t Is not only most expensive to the
government, but it is oppressive to the
defendant who suffers all the more IL
found innocent in the end. AS a matter
of justice, as well as economy, it ought
to be remedied, and that Is what this bill
will in large measure do. Just what es-
innate of saving is to be made from the
establishment of the new district in this
respect we have not the data to say, but
we believe it will be as large as that with
regard to the mileage of jurors.
The government will also be benefited
as we believe from having more accessible
courts at it's command in the territory
covered by the proposed district. Many in
fringements of the law pass unnoted and
unpublished in a large district because OF
the difficulty of their discovery and prose-
cution. This is important because it Is
only where the heavy hand of the law is
brought down upon them that offenders
fear and respect it. They have little re-
gard for court which is peacefully To-
Gated 800 miles distant.
Just as one instance Of what the new
court means to litigants it might be
cited that Judge Archibald in October
last disposed of case-Russell VS..
the Delaware & Hudson company
which had been waiting to be called for
five years.
Through Congressman Connell's eff
forts also the last congress appropriat-
ed 100000 to enlarge the Federal build
ing in this city to meet the increased
needs of the postoffice, revenue depart
ment and United States courts.
