CONSTRUCTIVE AND DESTRUC-
TIVE CITIZENS.

When a community has enjoyed
long term of prosperity on account
of the flourishing of its Industries,
it is natural that the inhabitants
should reach that point, when they
begin to believe that change in
existing conditions is almost impos-
sible. This belief is at times fostered
and encouraged by scheming politi-
clans or Weakened publicists who
seem unable to realize, that he, who
sows the wind, will reap the whirl-
wind. To make community pros
porous, it is of the utmost import
ance, that all its citizens cooperate
in the endeavor to bring all the mon
ey possible into its limits from out
side and thereby give every citizen
an opportunity to secure in some
proper way his share of this wealth.
If we ask ourselves, how is the mon
ey brought to us and who is the orig
inal distributor, we cannot help but
come to the conclusion that the
manufacturer is really the corner
stone of our prosperity and that as
soon as we help to stop his machinery
and keep his travelling men from
going through the country, disposine
of his wares we are stopping the
flow of money from outside, and that
before long prosperity will have TAX
en- its leave. The laborer should al
ways receive his due, but to make
him believe, that he is the mainstay
of a community, is a mistake, which
can only bring loss and trouble. The
work of every citizen should be con
/ structive and not destructive! 1t II
but natural that some people clint

or to encourage the idle, is destruc

KING GEORGE SPANKED BY A
CADET.

King George is the second son of
the late king and until the death of
his brother, the duke of Clarence,
was dwarfed by the latter. When
he was IA years old he began a tour
of the world. He and the duke of
Clarence were regularly enrolled as
cadets in the training ship Britannia
and were accorded no special favors

eye. For this he was court-mar-
tailed, found guilty and sentenced
to be spanked by the cadet with
whom he had the trouble. This was
done, first in the Britannia and later
in the cruiser Bacchante.
The two princes travelled $4,000
miles. Following the educational
tour, Prince George was appointed
a lieutenant in the navy. In 1890
ne was made commander of a gun
boat and in 1892 was made post
of York. While lieutenant on the
Thunderer in the Mediterranean,
Prince George met the daughter of a
naval officer with whom it is general
ly believed he contracted mar
riage. Although solemnized by an
ordained clergyman, it was not legal

ganizer would feel contempt for him
self If he would stop to reason, how
his work not only does not benefit
his fellow being, but how it converts
him into a leech, creating trouble and
dissention wherever he appears.
Would there have been any trouble
in Honsdale, If the organizer would
not have appeared? We do not
think so! The cutters here were
earning good wages, were satisfied
with their lot apparently and Homes
dale was contented and prosperous
community. How quickly has the
work of the organizer changed this
condition! Two factories have NOV
ed to more pleasant climes already,
reducing the yearly circulation of
money by nearly 100000. If our
information is correct, some of the
remaining manufacturers are on the
outlook for more congenial sur
roundings and will move, as soon as
opportunity presents itself Each
removal will mean a corresponding
reduction of our yearly circulation.
All this is due to the work of one
man, who is not even native of this
town and who under the most fav-
orable conditions is a constant drain
on our circulation. Still some of
our business men seem to consider
/ him as somewhat of beneTactor,
Notwithstanding that their daily
store receipts are dwindling more
and more. They don't seem to think
that it will take quite some time, be-
, fore other industries will establish
( themselves in the deserted shops and
restore the former pay-rolls Every
newcomer will want to know the
reason, why the shops were deserted
and what the citizens of Honesdale
| have done for the protection of their
/ manufacturers. Other communities
guard their industries and take good
care that no outside influence brings
/ trouble or drives their money pro-
ducers away. When will our busi-
ness men wake up to their duty and
assert their rights by demanding the
departure of the living cause of the
present trouble.

"sHE sTooPs TO CONQUER"
story Of This Interesting Play TO he
Given Here Soon.

The play opens in Mr.. Hardcastle's
home where the master of the house
informs his handsome daughter Kate
that he expects the young man he
has chosen to be her husband that
night. Meanwhile this young man,
the son of Sir Charles NARROW. and
his friend, have stopped at a neigh
boring inn to inqnire the way. They
are made the victims of a practical
joke by Kate's brother, young Tony
Lumpkins, who directs them to Mr..
Hardcastles home as to an inn.
Acts II, III and w show the mis-
understandings and embarrassments
which are the results of Tony's mis-
guidance, and it is only in the fifth
act that peace and harmony are fin
ally restored in the Hardcastle
home
Throughout the play Tony is a very
considerable factor in the fun max
ing. Mr.. Frank Truscott is to under
take this role and it fits him to per-
fection; Miss Margaret Eberhardt
will be the Kate Hardcastle of the
play when given at the Lyric on
Tuesday evening, May oath, under the
auspices of the Young Mems Hebrew
Association. The play will be under
the personal direction of Mrs. Benz

Now that ladies are so generally
employed as stenographers and type
writer operators, the columns of
newspapers are buTdened with coarse
attempts at humor, in which the
pretty amanuensis and her alleged
fiirtations with the business men are
the inspiring theme, Perhaps these
Jokes, on account of their insipid-
ity, are harmless and do not deserve
the dignity of a remonstrance, but,
nevertheless, we enter our protest
against any attempt to place in a
ridiculous or improper light the
honest and worthy occupation of a
woman. All honor to the girl who
has the energy, pluck and determina-
tion TO qualify herself to be self
sustaining and make herself useful
in the great world of business; and
blighting, withering shame be his
portion who would place the light
est straw in her way. Ihere are
enough actual follies, weaknesses
and foibles of men to laugh about
without making innocent women the
subject of ridicule by making them
figure in incidents entirely the pro
duct of an impure imagination. The
shafts of ridicule should be. aimed
only at those who deserve punish

class, God knows; and wit and hu

The PEOPLES FORUM
THE HERO-EDITOR.

When the real reason why the
employers of Honesdale will not
confer with their employees, now
out on a strike at Honesdale, is
known, as 1t doubtless will be, the
public may no longer marvel over
what tied up the situation. There
is said to be a secret key The
people will say If they discover it,
THAT solves the mystery" Meth
er will anyone then be surprised
at the flight of two concerns from
town.
The above is an editorial by the
portly editor who gave way to the
temptation of trying to assume the
pose of a Siegfried who, having slain
the dragon of predatory wealth,
stands with one foot on the monsters S
carcass clasping Brunhilde A. F. G..
w. u. to his breast in the full glare
of the spotlight. The thought may
have occurred to him also that the
gore of the reptile might make fer
tilizer for the subscription tree under
which his camp is pitched. No one
will censure the gentleman for that; /;
stronger minds have succumbed to a
like temptation. The pose is GER
tainly a heroic one and il would have
been a cause of lifelong regret to
miss the opportunity.
The difference between a tableauX
in the mimic world and real life is
this, that the stage drama ends
with it as a climax, while life goes
right on. Now, if there were a Sc
quence to the Siegfried tableaux al
luded to, it would show the hero
scratching his head in embarrass-
ment over the necessity of having a
young lady with a good appetite and
| artistic tastes to be cared for in his
camp; it might also show signs OF
/ peevishness on the heroine's coun-
/ tenance when she remembers that
! the old dragon was not half bad as
/ a provider; and hero, heroine and
/ the whole outfit would hardly be
I pleasant to contemplate on account
of the stencil arising from the car.
rion.
The situation in which our editor
finds himself is not exactly the same
but there are enough points of SINH
larity to make it equally distastefu
to him. True, he did not kill the
noxious monster, nor tame it, but
chunks hacked out of it's body ant
scales and claws littering up the
abode of a community priding itsel
of a vigilant Ladies' improvement
Society are a bad enough result, in
deed, and worst of all, it turns out
that the milk the beast gave, wher
der the subscription tree. having ;
beneficial influence on that delicat,
plant, as no CORY fertilizer coulC
ever produce.
The editorial cited at the begin
ming of these lines leaves the i'm
preston that the hero-editor wishe
to withdraw quietly from the cente
of the stage and the limelight, blam
ing a mystery to which there is
secret key for the debris of the bat
tie, stencil and all. This attitud
is certainly undignified for an editor
especially a portly one. We all ad
