The January Arena" contains the openinp
paper of series Of eight contributions which
promise to prove the most important addition to
the campaign against corruption and political
delauchery that has appeared, and we should
not be surprised if this series nal ked the inaugu-
aratIon of tidal wave Of political morality in
Philadelphia and Pennsylvania as irresistible as
that inaugurated by Thomas Mast in ''Harpers'
weekly and carried forward by the New York
Times, ~ which eliminated in the overthrow of
the Tweed Ring and the downfall anddisgracc of
men long supposed TO be invincible. These
papers are entitled Forty Years in the Wilder
ness; or, The Masters and Rulers of The Free
men of Pennsylvania - and they have been pre-
pared by one ofthe most prominent and uuiver-
sally respected citizens Of PhiadeIphio.-a man
who as civic leader and an incorruptible foe of
all phases of dishonesty, graft and indirection
has for years waged relentless war against the
men who were dragging down the fair name of
one Cfour greatest CORN onwealths and virtually
imperilling free institutions through shameful
corruption. These papers by Mr.. Bankenburg
are unique in many ways and ofspecial value be-
cause they come from the pen of resident of
Philadelphia, man thoroughly responsible for
all hat he says, and cultured thinker whose
business standing and social position are of the
highest. The opening contribution, which is il
Illustrated with admirable portraits of Thaddeus
Stevens, Simon Cameron, J. Donald Cameron
Col A. X. Mcclure and others, deals with 1.-THE
Birth of Corruption" in Pennsylvania.
Anothe er paper even more startling in charac-
ter and of the same general purport appears in
this issue under the head of"The Reign of Doodle
and the Rape of the Ballot in st. Louis" 1t has
been prepared for "The Arena" by the promir-
ent LAWYER and author the Hon Lee Meriwether
Another paper in the January "Arena" which
merits the careful attention of intelligent voters
and students of political economy is the discus
sion of ''The Postal Savings Banks of Great Brit
ain aud How the Government of England Fost-
ers Savings Among the Poor" which constitutes
the second paper in THE Arenas" series of in
ternational contributions devoted to the progress
of advance democratic movements throughout
the world

How Is it ffere2

The school board in one of the towns
of Schuylkill county has got itself into
trouble through neglect to enforce the
provisions of the compulsory education
act. Meeting with difficulties-prob-
ably no greater than experienced in
most places-in the work of preventing
truancy, the board evidently abandon
ed all efforts in that direction. 1t now
hears from the State Department of
Public Instruction that unless the law
is complied with and attendance of
children in school compelled the State
appropriation will be withheld. This
would mean a serious loss which no
district could well afford. Such an
admonition is enough to stir up any
school board and make it do its full
duty, and most likely it will have that
effect in this instance. The State ap.
preparation to the schools is an admir-
able thing in more ways than one. 1t
enables the State authority to insist
upon the enforcement of proper and
wholesome laws made in the interest
of public education, where those laws
would be otherwise a dead letter in
many districts.

A F. Rei,z, of Beaver Township, Making
Another Campaign for Commissioners.
We have been authorized to oannounce
that Mr.. A. r. Reitz, of Beaver town.
ship, the well known stonemason and
contractor, will be candidate for the
Republican nomination for county COM
missioner at the ensuing primary cleo
tion. Mr.. Reitz was candidate for
the same Office three years ago, and re-
ceived very large vote for the first
time his name was before the people,
and his candidacy at this time, in ad-
dition to the fact that he wants the
Office, is in answer to the assurance he
has received from many of the leading
citizens of the county that il he would
be candidate again he would certainly
be elected Mr.. Reitz is a man we'll
qualified for the successful performance
OF the duties of the Office he seeks. He
is successful farmer and business man,
and has had an extended experience as
contractor and bridge builder that
would be of special value to the people
of the county. He has followed the
business of contracting for and building
bridges for fifteen years, two state
bridges, the White street bridge, in
Brookville, and another bridge that
spans the Susquehanna river at Cur.
wensville, being among the big con
tracts executed by him during the past
