Thanks to that call for Itemized ac counts, some of last session's biggest "Jobs" won't yield enough after ap proval by the governor to pay their authors' political funeral uxpenses. The Completed Tariff Bill. The fact that within flvo months of tho Inauguration of Its president tho Republican party has formulated, dlscutsed, amended and pushed to en actment thtough a senate controlled by political opponents a revenue meas ure embiaclntr ns Its cardinal principle tho duty f the government to protect American industry establishes a record for promptitude In the redemption of political promises without parallel In cur history. Hut for tho Republican party's lack of control In the senate this already Incomparable record would liavo been made still more noteworthy. Nothing: lllce tho celerity with which tho national house of representatives rose to the peculiar necessities of tho occasion lias elsewhere been known In the annals of public legislation; and It is at present the hoube which stands as tho unquestioned exponent of Re publicanism. As to the bill Itself its operation must be studied before a. final opinion can ba offered. It is sound in theory nnd probably In detail it represents as close nu approximation to wise rates of duty ns can be secured under tho conditions of pulling and hauling from sections and Interests that invariably surround tho formulation of new tariff legisla tion. Tho men who shaped It are men of experience in such matters: they arc men who have made tho subject of protection a life study both in theory nnd in detail; and It Is therefore fair to infer that this embodiment of their handiwork constitutes tho best protec tive tariff measure yet placed upon tho statute books. Republicans have link ed much on tho strength of their f tilth In the bill's potency to facilitate tho jcturn of good times, and now tho only thing to do is to let the bill have a fair test. While wo hone and believe that tho lneasuro in operation w ill prove an aflltmatlve factor In promoting pros perity it is absolutely certain that in any event gain will come to business from tho mere fact that tho long sus pense is ended. Tho resources of thlq country and the enterprise of Its people are such that a permanent halt Is out of tho question. "With tho Industries of the country now assured of tho res toration of the protection under which they were established and to whoso economic conditions they had been ad Justed; with uncertainty so far as leg islation affects It eliminated from the 1 roblem; with tho nation's income ad Justed to meet Its necessary expendi tures, and with natura on every hand preparing to co-operate with man in t-cttlnir a. new pace for commercial pro press, It will be the American people's own fault If from today forward busi ngs shall not steadily move In tho direction of Improvement. Oovernor Ilastlncs bids fair to be best remembered by tho enemies ho has made. That Lehigh Appropriation. With a few exceptions tho press of tho stato located within the circle of Lehigh University's greatest benefits" ami therefore host qualified to pass an Intelligent Judgment upon the subject, coidlally approves the stato appropria.--tion of $200,000 to that worthy Institu tion which awaits the governor's signa ture to becomo effective. Upon the understanding that this relief Is to" be merely temporary and for the purpose of saving tho university from an other wise lnevltnblo suspension becauho of Its temporarily non-productive endow ment, there Is general concurrence by liberal-minded citizens In the propo sition that the aid voted by tho legls latuio Is a Just and proper recognition of benefits heretofore received and here after to be expected by the people of Pennsylvania from that Institution without cost. Tho most conspicuous exception among these journals is the Wilkes Barro Record, which says "it was fchameful to ask tho state to make this appioprlatlon. Lehigh University will not be compelled to close Its doors If stato assistance Is denied. Tho Wil burs, Skeers. Llndermans, Blakeslees nnd others who were made millionaires by their relative Asa Packer and who are still millionaires, were shameless enough to go before tho legislature begging that body tor an appioprla tlon, but they aro not shameless enough to peimlt the great Institution created by their benefactor to close Its doors. Tho beneficiaries and relatives of Asa Packer can well afford to give Lehigh University all tho assUtanco It may re quire. They owe that much, and much mote, to the memory of tho man who did so much for them." As to the propriety of the Record's nttack upon tho gentlemen it names, that may be referred to each reader's personal Judgment, with tho remark that the Wilburs, Skeors, Llndermans and Rlakcslces, although crippled in Income by tho sanio causes which have crippled tho university, havo already given assistance, and liberal assistance, to the flatter. But It reveals a narrow spirit to say that while the stato has for thlrty-ono years been deriving the bulk of tho benefit imparted by tho university It will, in the moment cf tho university's need, leave to those who have sustained tho nurdon In the past a continued monopoly of It, despite tho fact that they enjoy the smallest profit from It.and regardless of whether they will or can hereafter carry It. If a refucal by tho stato to contrlbuto temporarily Us quota were to be fol lowed, as wo aro told it will bo fol lowed, by tho university's suspension, Jt will not mnnd mattors to criticize the beneficiaries nnd relatives of Asa Packer. The state cannot compel thorn to keep tho university doors open nor can it tako from thorn tho power to Judgo nf their own ability longer to carry tho Institution's expense account. Tho point for Oovernor Hastings to decide Is not what tho Wilburs, SkecrB, Llndermans nnd Dlakeslccs ought or ought not to do; that Is none of hl nor thoWllkes-Karro Ilecoid'fl business. Ills duty Is to decide wlint tho Btate ought to do; whether It can afford, by denial of tho proffered request for temporary aid, to run the risk of losing the benr Ilcont Inliucnces which Lehigh Univer sity wields among tho people to whom It ministers. Wo bellovo, with Mr. Dlngley, that "when the protective principle Is ap plied of Imposing duties equivalent to the difference of tho cost of production and dlstilbutlon arlslngfrom our higher wages of labor, as proposed In the new tariff bill, and thus Increased oppor tunities nio offered to American labor, giving the masses a purchasing power which they have lost under the con ditions of tho past four years, a pur chasing power which enables them to buy mora of tho farmer, more of tho merchant, more of tho manufacturer and more of every producer in tho land then conildenco will begin to re turn, prices will begin to rise to a pay ing point, and prosperity begin to set In upon the land." If they do nut, then all past experience is at fault. A Common-Sense Ruling. A case was recently adjudicated In Steuben county, New York, which is of general Interest in view of Its bearing upon the legal status of wheelmen. Tho plaintiff, Israel W. Baldwin, carried an accident policy In the Fraternal Acci dent association. In 1S31 he was so badly Injurtd by falling off his blcyclt that for one year subsequent he was Incapacitated from work. Ho sued to recover $20 a week for ono year. The accident company contested tho claim en two grounds: ono, that under tho policy tho plaintiff was pledged to sub mit the question of damages to arbitra tion In case of a dlsaurcement with tho company; and tho other, that tho policy provided that If tho plaintiff chotild be Injured while engaged tem porarily or otherwise In any occupation or exposure, classified as more hazard ous than that specified in tho certifi cate, the indemnity should be at tho rato only of tho more hazardous occu pation. Bicycle riding was thus classi fied, the recovery rato being only $10 a week, which tho company was will ing to allow. Tho trial judge, Justice Davy, decid ed both points for the plaintiff. As to the llrst he held that no private agree ment looking to arbitration could ex tinguish the plaintlft s right of appeal to tho courts. With reference to tho second he dismissed as unsound tho theory that bicycling, as practiced in moderation by the averago citizen, Is an extra hazardous occupation. Refer ring to the specific clause excepting 'blcyclo riders from tho ordinary bene fits of the Insurance tho judge said It seemed to him "that a person who only rides a bicycle occasionally for conveni ence and pleasure Is not a bicyclist within the meaning of said policy. Tho mere fact that a man rides a bicycle occasionally for pleasure does not make him by occupation a profes sional bicyclist. Tho clause in tho pol icy evidently has refcrenco to those who are professional bicyclists and make their living by racing on the wheel." This decision so favorably Impressed the Rochester Herald, In whose col umns wo now find It reported, that it said In comment: "If the plaintiff had been Injured In a railroad accident or while out driving, the company could not plead that he was entitled only to tho lower Indemnity because ho had been engaged In an extra hazardous occupation; and bicycling is surely not more perilous than driving or railroad travel. Blcycle-ridlng" Is no longer ex clusively a pastime. It is perhaps safe to ainrm that tho majority of wheel men ride for tho sake of convenlenco and utility. If an element of danger attends tho practice, It proceeds, not from the simple use of tho vehicle, but from tho congestion of the streets caused by tho growing employment and popularity of this method of loco motion. Wo are not familiar with the general policy of accident Insuranco companies In their dealings with per sons who ride the whe:!; but It strikes us that It Is both unwise and, In tho long run, unprofitable for any of them to classify wheelmen as exceptional tliks." As In tho case of the railway com panies, once obstreperous but now couiteous and obliging In' their treat ment of wheelmen, the accident com panies will have sooner or later to como down or go out of business. Tho wheelman Is lord of tho situation. If there were a disposition In any quarter to criticize the president for his cultivation of amicable relations with the senators, it would now be dis pelled by the realization of what It has accomplished In acceleration of the tariff bill. That a distinctively Repub lican measure should by a majority of ten bo got thtough a senate controlled by the political opposition In loss tlmo than It took Mr. Cleveland to dlsaffect the members of his own paity In tho senate of tho preceding two congresses speaks volumes for tho effectiveness of Major McKlnley's conciliatory policy. A few minor appointments of possibly questionable character yielded to sena torial importunity will not long bo charged up against a programme which can thereby conservo tho most vital legislative results. Though It bo "spoils" politics, It Is of tho stuff that administrative successes aro made. Curiosity continues to bo expressed as to the president's object in recom mending to congress currency legisla tion which he knew, congress knew and tho Mugwumps knew would not pass tho senate during cither tho extra or tho regular session. Tho Philadelphia Pi ess calls It "firing a blank cartridge." Beli.B blank, It of couisa did neither good nor harm; but why was H fired? An article Is printed In tho Sun con cerning Lohlgh university and tho Packer estato which shows by care fully taken figures that the embauass ment of tho former because of the diminished Income of tho latter Is like- ly to be merely temporary. Tho Sun article appraises the Packer estate at $3,500,000, a depreciation of $3,000,000 in sixteen years, but more than doublo the sum for which tho estate Is llablo to tho university. Tho latter's need Is simply for money with which to pay current expenses until Its endowment fund shall again becomo productive Under present prospects the latter con tingency should occur In rather less than two years. - " Tho Mauch Chunk Conl Gazette Inti mates that there Is a disposition among some Republicans in Carbon county to precipitate a row over tho guberna torial candidacy of Hon. John Lelsen ring. If true this Is unfortunate. Mr. Lelsonrlng's proximity to Carbon coun ty should be tilclcnt, It he Is a candi date, to glvo to him Carbon's cordial support. At the same time, the dele gates chosen should bo men who would possess minds of their own if required by later circumstances to make a sec ond choice. "Aro we," asks the Springfield Re publican, "tho sport of a traveling mesmerist that we should sweat while sitting on a cako of lec?" Judging ftom some of tho Republican's Mug wump editorials wo should say yea, verily. m The senate, before adjourning, didn't take steps to protect our interests In Hawaii; but Admiral Blakeslcc, aboard tho warship Oregon at anchor In Hono lulu harbor, If necessary, will. It Is Intimated that Judgo Gordon Is preparing to explode a bomb In tho camp of the apologists for the present management of tho Eastern peniten tiary. It is his turn. Dr. Dana calls It a tariff by general consent. But there are a few kickers In Cuckoo clubs and Europe. Dlngloy's bill owed Its biggest Item of expense to tho Popocratlc senate's de lay. Will the president get congress off his hands only to get Cuba on them? The Decline of Home Influence From tho Philadelphia Ledger. In nothing has tho real progress of tho civilized world, nnd especially that of our own nation, been moro conspicuous, than In tho matter of education. Look ing back fifty, or even twenty years, tho strides that havo been mado In this direction aro marvellous. Schools of ev ery grade, and In every place, havo been springing up to meet tho Increasingly felt need. Ftorrr tho child of 4 years, In tho kindergarten, to tho college graduate, all aro now abundantly supplied with In struction, tho quality nnd methods of which nro Improving every year, through the untiring efforts of tho ablest educa tors. Then, besldo the regular profes sional schools, lectures and classes of every description, both In winter and summer, offer every supplemental advan tages to all asserted that no ono desiring to learn anything need look In vain for tho means to gratify his wish. o Thero Is, perhaps, no great advance ment In any direction that does not In volve certain definite dangers, which, until they aro realized and guarded against, become gravo evils. Tho ono Impel taut peril attached to this Incom parable blessing of extended education Is that the Influence of homo Is likely to become for a tlmo thereby lessened. Pa tents, contrasting their own more slend er opportunities In thu past with thoso now available for their children, are nat urally and lightly Impressed with the Importance of giving them every educa tional advantage; but In their eagerness to accomplish It, they are sometimes led to feel that It comprises their whole re sponsibility, esteeming tho teachers who can work out such lino results as far superior to themselves they nro tempted to place burdens upon their shoulders which do not bolong to them. In their elevated ideas of scholastic education they imagine that It can do everything, nnd thus they overlook that peculiar training which tho homo alone can sup ply. For that there Is sucn an educa tion no one who reflects deeply, or ob serves keenly, can for a moment ques tion. Mr, Hamorton says truly: "That boy must bo born in very unfortunate circumstances whoso father and mother could not, If they chose, do more for his moral trulnlng than a schoolmaster, who has perhaps fifty to attend to, without tho patental Inteiest In any of them." fl it Is Just this moral education that be longs specially to tho homo, and that, If neglected thero, can nover bo obtained elsewhere, which Is tho only reliable safe guard that society can have against much of tho vlco and crime which corrupt and demoralize her. Parents who trust to the schools to inculcate this aro shirking their own most solemn obligations, nnd havo no right to expect their sons and daughter to grow up Into upright and honorable men and women. For In tho llrst place. It Is quite Impossible that tho schools can accomplish this, be tho teachers ever so willing and exemplary. Tho work laid out for them In mental instruction nnd disciplines tnxes tho full powers of tho most competent and fulth ful. They must devote their strength, thought and tlmo to discovering and fol lowing tho best methods of accomplishing this, nnd to tho required preparation of their pupils for higher grades nnd clusses. If they would bo at all successful In their profession. Of course, thero will always bo a moral tone In the school, an un conscious Influence emanating from the teachers, and affecting moro or less pow erfully tho character of tho pupils. Thero will bo even more than this a general oversight of conduct during school hours, and often a voluntary effort to do what ever may bo possible In tho way of char acter building. But this Is n mcro drop In tho ocean compared with tho extent of Influence that a good homo can exert. Even the silent oxamplo of honornblo parents Is Immeasurably greater thun that of uny school; whllo their oppor tunities for Individual instruction, aided by their natural affection and deslro for tho child's welfare, nio Incomparably moro numerous and favorable. The par ent la, or ought to bo In closo personal relations with the child, such as no teach er can possibly maintain; his authority and stimulus aro constant, while thoso of tho teacher aro limited and the final ap peal will always be made to him. This diminution of parental responsi bility Is even moro conspicuous In fam ilies whoso children aro sent to distant schools for their education, where tho greater part of their tlmo Is spent. Hero tho homo Influence had need to havo been an unusually strong one, to onablo tho young to withstand tho many In ducements of an opposite kind, which they must meet comparatively unaided. Other stnndards nro adopted, other habits nro formed, other Ideas of llfo and of conduct tako tho placo of those learned In tho home. They nro not necessarily worse, nnd may bo better, but tho fact remains that tho parental Influence de clines, and tho senso of parental respon sibility diminishes. In tho vacations tho children roturn to tho homo moro as fa vored guests to bo entertained than as sons and daughters to bo trained, and the moral discipline, on which so much of their futuro character depends, Is ilrst relaxed, then broken up, and finally lost altogether. o Wo have spoken of this decline of homo Influence as a dagger attending the rapid lirowth of educational advantages,; but It Is, we trust, only a temporury one, connected with a transltlonnl condition. Parental love and watchfulness will soon perceive thnt no substltiitu for the homo enn bo found In nny school, nnd that efforts In that line must bo directly prejudicial to tho best welfnro of tho young. Whllo relaxing no effort to secure tho very best educational advantages which tho country can bestow, for tho children under their carp, Intelligent par ents will yet realize that their own part can never bo relegated to another. Whcrover nnd whatever bo the school so lectcd, however competent nnd faithful tho teacher, and however excellent the Influence thus exerted, they will recognlzo that It can by no means relievo them of their responsibility as to the moral char acter of their children. As aro their ex ample, and their teachings, so must they expect will bo tho pervading spirit of tho young beings they hnve brought Into tho world; and no amount of money lav ished upon their Intellectual education will then bo held lit tho least degree to atono for a lack of that personal care, lnflucnco and training which they and they alone con bestow. THE GOVERNOR AND THE DILLS. From tho Philadelphia Times. Governor Hastings has been bitterly assailed by senators nnd representatives becnusa ho has demanded Itemized state ments from tho members nnd otuccrs of tho numerous Investigating committees In connection with tho appropriations made to defray their alleged expendi tures. Theso lrato legislators should read tho first paragraph of section 15 of nr tlclo 4 of tho stato constitution, which says: "Every bill which shall have passed both houses shall be presented to tho governor. If ho shall approve he shall sign It, but If ho shall not approve he shall icturn it. with his objections, to tho house In which It shall have originat ed," otc, and ask themselves how tho governor Is to know whether to approve or disapprove an appropriation for al leged expenditures plumped at him In a lump sum without an Itemized statement of expenditures of any kind. Tho suc ceeding section of tho constitution con fers upon tho governor tho power nnd Imposes tho duty of disapproving any Item of an appropriation bill which be thinks unwarranted, nnd It looks very much as though lump sum appropriation bills for tho expenses of Investigating committees were passed purposely to pre vent tho governor from npplylng the pruning knlfo to extravagant and un warranted Items. In calling for the Items ho is only requiring tho members of tho legislature to furnish him tho means to perform his sworn duty. Recent legislatures havo displayed a fondness for starting Investigations Into about every subject under tho sun, nnd the extravagant expense bills which have resulted from many of theso Investi gations lead to the conclusion that they woro Investigations for the benoflt of tho Investigators Instead of tho public. They have afforded Junkets and profitable em ployment for tho members and officials of tho several committees, and havo re sulted In llttlo or no good to tho public service. Tho last lcglslaturo outdid all others In this respect. Its appropriations for tho expenses of usele-js Investigation committees wero plied mountain high, and tho governor was compelled by this wanton profligacy to call a halt. If the courso of the governor In calling for tho Items of tho appropriations for tho ex penses of Investigating committees Is an unusual ono it is because tho profligacy of tho legislature nnd tho investigating committees of Its creation havo Imposed upon him nn unusual duty. Ho has been compelled to stand between the taxpayers nnd a horde of legislative raiders, and In order to npprove legitimate expenditures and disapprove steals ho has been glvan no option but to cull for tho Information which It was tho bounden duty of tho legislature to havo furnished him In tho bills sent him for npproval. Governor Hastings deserves (ho unaunl- Iflcd commendation of every honest citi zen for his manly determination to per form his constitutional duty in sifting out tho steals and Jobs In tho appropria tion bills, and tho legislature deserves unqualified condemnation for Us pro fligacy In authorizing useless, profitless and extravagantly expensive Investiga tions. Only In sustaining an honest ex ecutive In a rigid application of the prun ing knlfo to theso profligate expenditures does thero Ho any hope of putting an end to theso steadily Increasing legisla tive lalds upon the stato treasury. ANTICIPATING TIIK OBSEQUY. From tho Weekly Telegraph. A poor man lay dying, and his good wlfo was tending him with homely but affectionate care. "Don't you think you could eat a bit of something, John? Now what can I get for you?" With a wan smllo ho answered feebly: "Well, I seem to smell a ham cooking snmewheres; I, I think I could do with a llttlo bit of that." "Oh, no, John, dear." sho answered, promptly, "you can't have that. That's for tho funeral." TOLD BY THE STARS. Daily Horoscope Drawn by AJncchus, The Tribune Astrologer.

Ono day through tho primeval wood A calf walked homo, as good ccJvoa should; But mado a trail all bent askew, A crooked trail, as all calves do. Slnco then two hundred years havo fl3, And, I Infer, the cult Is dead. But still ho left behind his trail, And thereby hnngs a mortal tale. Tho trail was taken up next day By a lono dog that passed that way. And then a wlso bell-wether sheep Pursued tho tiall o'er vale and steep, And drew the flock behind him, too, As good bell-wethers always do. And from that day, o'er hill and glade, Through thoso old woods a path was made, And many men wound In and out. And dogged and turned and bent about, And uttered words of righteous wrath, Because 'twas such a crooked path; But still they followed do not laugh The first migration of that calf, And through this winding woodway stalked Bccauso ho wabbled when he walked. This forest path bocamo a lane, That bent nnd turned and turned again; This crooked lano became a road, Where many a poor horse, with his load, Toiled on beneath tho burning sun, And traveled romo threo miles In one. And thus a century nnd a half They trod the footsteps of that calf. Tho years passed on In swiftness fleet, Tho road became a village street, And this, before the men wero aware, A city's crowded thoroughfare, And soon tho central street was this Of a renowned motroDOlls. And men two centuries and a half Trod In tho footsteps of that calf; Bach day a hundred thousand rout Followed tho zigzag calf about; And o'er his crooked Journey went Tho trafllo of a continent. A hundred thousand men wero led By ono cnlt near thico centuries dead. Fact and Fiction.
