The statement that Judge Paxton de
livered en Saturday at Pittsburg the epln ten
or tbe supreme court declaring the new
munlelpal law unconstitutional ! con
firmed. We wired Pittsburg ler lntorma lnterma lntorma
tlen about It, but our Informant was for
aeme reaien unable te get tbe opinion.
Advice of It baa new been received here
and we note In tbe Hqranten and Wilkes
barre papers of yesterday that the news
has reached there. It would come te
Wllkeabarre and Soranten naturally flrsl;
because Scranton Inspired tbe new munici
pal law, wbleb Wllkeabarre and Liucaster
opposed; but it had meie nerve than Lan Lan
caiter te fellow up Its opposition. It oleeted
city cillcers under the old as well
aa tbe new law and new Is pro
vided with a set for business; whereas
Iianoaater and Scranton are dumped right
down In Ibe mud. We will go along under
tbe present officers deubtleaa as tbe defaote
artlele, where there are no old cfllcers en
hand te pick up tbe thread of the city
business (hat tbe new officers will
have te drop as seen aa any properly
authorized person comes along te take.
We will have te get back under tbe old
law as speedily aa possible and call tbe
elections needed, as seen ts ofllelil news cf
tbe uprooting of tbe law of 18b71s received.
BOW IT AFFECTS I.ANCASTEll.
The radical changes in Lancaster will be
these: Tbe mayor will held ofllee for tw e
years only ; tbe controller, city atsesjeis
water commissioners will be legislated out
ofelllce, one half of the police foreo must
give way te tbe eens table, the policemen go
back te a salary of 00 per mouth and fees,
Sixth and Filth wards Iebe eaeti a member
of council, the First gets baek her two lest
members and Ibe Third ene. Councils
will elect a chief of lire department, street
commissioner and city regulators, and tbe
power of appointing delinquent tax col
lectors Is taken away from tbe oily treasurer.
These people who paid taxes in tbe
months 'vhril there was an abatement for
prompt payment, which was net allowed
under the new law,e in den. and the amount
of such abatement.
All tbe towers built by assessment of
property owners will bave te be paid for by
tbe city and tbe amount of assessments re
funded te these who paid them and the
constables who were elected ler three years
can serve but one.
It will be a queitlcn bow councils will
arrange matter?. Berne or tbe members
were eleeied for two years, some for one,
ethers for four years. An early meeting
of councils Is probable wben tbe while
matter will be discussed.
Olty Attorney MeLear, of Wllkesbarre,
lumisbes tbe following clear resume of tbe
laws, the litigation and the situation te tbe
Ictcuril of that place :
Tub laws of 1874 and 1S37, relating te the
government el cities, are almost entirely
alike, except that tbe law et Jb74 contains
optional clauses, se that the cities Incor
porated at tbe tlme of tbe passage of tbe act
of 1874 were net of necessity sutjeet te all
its previsions. In fact, they only become
se when they accepted the optional clauses.
Soranten accepted In tete tbe previsions of
this law, but Wllkesbarre acei-pt d none of
them. This law of 1871 prevlued for the
eleotlen of oeinmon and select councils,
city controller, elty assessors, city tieaaurer,
etc. Soranten did net however, make any
change in council, an she bad been under
tbe administration et two councils slnoe
her Incorporation.
But Soramen and several ether cities
were dlesattstled with that part of the act
el 1874 relating tn school districts. They
preferred consolidation. He a number of
city councils In tbocemraonwesltb, net In
cluding Wilkesbare, bad a oemmtttee ap
pointed, known csa municipal commission.
Tbls becty, Biter a number of sittings In
In Uarrlsuurg, drafted substantially what
la new known as tbe set of 16S7.
Meantime the Biipremeceurt bad declared
the aet of 1874 unconstitutional, because of
Iti option clauses. These had the effect of
making that leglslat ei lewl Inttiadef get
eral in Its nature, aud tbe constitution re
quired that sneb legislation Bhe uld bave a
general application.
The municipal commission, knowing the
action of tbe supreme court, carefully ex
cluded all option clauses from the art of
1887. By tbls aet tbe cities of this ceu men
wealth were divided into seven claeer.
Tbese classes were based rn the respective
population of each. The act pissed tbe
legislature almost as It came from tbe
commission.
The prevlal-na of the new act were satis
factory te Krle, Heading, Scranton, Wll Wll
llamspert and some ether cities, but very
unsatisfactory te Wllktsbirre. Tbe spring
eleotlen (1888) was bold in all the cities of
tbe commonwealth under the previsions of
the new law. Tbe result was, of course, tbe
eleotlen of two councils for all cities, a con
troller, treasurer, assessors, eta Philadel
phia and Pittsburg were tbe only cities net
affected by the new bill, they being named
aa cities of tbe first and soceud class,
Wllkesbarre at that time elected mem
bers of oeunoll under tbe old elty charter,
as well as a select and common council,
treasurer, controller and assessors, under
the new bill. Tee municipal officers under
tbe old charter continued te aet as tbe gov
erning body, The officers elected under
the new law were also sworn In, and the
two councils were duly organized. By
agreement between tbe old and ue w coun
cils a bill In equity was prepared, In which
the new oeunoils was complainants and tbe
old councils defendants. An injunction was
prayed for te prove it Ibi old council from
uiBensrgiug us uuues unaer tee eia cnaru r
Tbe defendants In the answer claimed that
the new aet was unconstitutional, because
of Its extravsgant classification of tbe cities
of tbe commonwealth, and also that, by tbe
previsions of tbe new bill, ltc-uld nottake
effect, aa far as WllkOBbarre wasoencerned,
until after tbe expiration of the terms el tbe
old council, In office at tbe tlme tbe bill
Was approved, bad expired The case Wde
argued before tbe full Leech, Judges Hlett
and Woodward, Tbe contention et the d(
fendants was sustained by tbe court In a
carefully written and somewhat VJluml
neus opinion. The complainant appealed
te tbe supreme oeurt and tbe ewe was
argued last April. The decision, aa already
stated, was given en SitJiday last, and
will rwmeine a public reoerd In a day or two
probably.
WUkbabarrp, It will readily be seen, wilt
net beatBllsffoetedastogovernment, But
tbe much mooted question between tbe old
and new councils is disposed of. Tbe deci
sion will In no way prejudice tbe passage
of law consolidating tbe scboel diatrlcta
of Wllkeabarre. The city government el
Soraeton, however, will be almost entirely
changed, as tbe controller, treasurer, asset.
aera and etber ctllcera are "legislated out."
Tbls will cause a deal of treuble and con
fusion In that city for some time.

An Opinion el the Supreme Court IttlerrlDg
te the Municipal l.v or 1887.
The supreme court bas made tbe fellow,
lng decision lu the Grant street cate, In
wbleb Its decision In tbe Wllksbarre case,
decided at tbe Mine time, la stated i
m no dlttieulty is tbla mm, Tbe
first eecUea ef the act of April 13, 1854, P.
Ii. 352, enacts : " That the court of quarter
sessions of Lancaster county aball bare
power te autberlH tbe extension and open
ing of streets sad alleys within the elty
et Lancaster. In tbe manner directed by
and under the previsions of the general
read law et tbls commonwealth, except
se far as tbe same may bs herein altered or
supplied.
The second section provides for the ap
pointment by laid oeurt of six disinter
ested freeholders te view tbe premises and
assess the damages for tbe opening of any
street or alle', which damages are te bspald
eat of tbe oennty treasury j but If any
building la injured or removed by such
opening, thedamagrseauaed by tbe injury
or removal of such building shall be patd
by the elty.
By the act or January 31, 1857, P. I 0,
tbe power is given te tbe oeunoils et said
elty te direct tbe opening of any street,
after the confirmation of tbe report of tbe
viewers by tbe court of quarter sessions,
and "se much of any law beretotere
passed as vests In tbe court of general quar
ter sessions of tbe peace efLancaater county
tbe right te dlrtet the opening et any street,
lane or alley, laid out In the city et Lan
caster, Is hereby repealed."
Tbe actor April 28,1857, F.L. 338, provides
for tbe appointment or three read and
bridge viewers for Ohester and Lineaster
counties, and repeals all laws Inconsistent
therewith, se far as concerns tbe said cenn
ties.
Tbe set of April 13, 1673, P. L. 811, was a
special act providing for tbe appointment
of an engineer whose duty It should be te
survey and mark the Hue et all streets
and highways of tbe city then opened or
Intended te be opened in said city for pub
lic use ; and te survey and mark all new
stree's or alleys that may beneeded, fix the
Width, grades, eta, ai may be necesssry
for a regular and convenient town plan,
wblcb pun Is te be approved by city ceun.
oils. Prevision is then made for the assess
ment of dsmsges csussd by tbe opening or
soy street or alley upon said plan. It Is un
necessary te refer further te the details of
this aet, aa It relates only te streets upea
the city plan. Tbe street in Question is net
upon tbe elty plan, and tbe aet of 1873. has
nothing te ae with It. '
Then fellows the aet et May S3, 1874, P.
L. 231, the 13th section only of which bss
any reference te tbe matter In band. A s
tbls section, however, Is expressly repesled
by tbe aet cf June 8, 1881, P. L. 08, we need
net further refer te it.
Tbe said aet of June 8, 1881, repeals
tbengh In the most bungling manner tbe
13th section of tbe act of 1671. Tbe tltle as
well aa Ibe bedy of said act piefesses te do de do
elare tbe meaning el tbe said section of tbe
set et 1674, end it this were all tbe aet of
1881 would oeLlllct with section vlef artlole
3 or the constitution wblcb declares that
"no law aball be luvitcd, amended or tbe
previsions tbeicef extended or conferred
by a reference te Us tltle only ; but se much
there-ef as Is revived, amended, extended
or conferred shall be enacted, and pub
lished at length." It la for tbe courts te
deolare the "meaning" of an act of the
legislature. But tbe net of 1881 gees
further and amends tbe 13th soctlen'ot tbe
aet cf 1674, and we may reject as surplusage,
or harmless verbiage, ee mucb of It aa pro
fesses te attract a meaning te tbe act of
1874. The substituted section Is as fellows :
Ske 13 Tbat the municipal authorities
and courts having Jurisdiction In any city
of tblt common wealth, shall have exclu
sive control and direction el tbe opening,
widening, narrowing, vacating ana chang
ing grades et all streets, alleys and high
ways within the limits of such city, tnd
may open or widen streetc, at such points
and of such width, as msy be deemed
necesssry by such city autboriUes and
courts, any private or special statute te tbe
contrary, notwithstanding ; proceedings te
be tad in such cases ss are new required
by law. Streets oiimmeneed under any
special authority shall be completed, unless
otherwise decided by councils ; and any of
said cities may, wltb tbe consent et tbe
oeurt of quaiter seealens of tbe proper
county, euter security for damages te pri
vate properly by reason or street Improve
ments, in sueh sum nr sums as the said
oeurt may direct" We need net refer te
tbe previsions of the act of May 21, 1887, P.
Li. 218, providing for the Incorporation and
government et cities of feurtb, tirtb, sixth
and seventh classes, Ae., as we have Just
held by au nnanlmeus decision In Ayers'
appeal. This said act Is In conflict wltn the
constitution, and therefere void.
The 13th section of the aet of 1871, as
amended by the act of 1831, Is very radical
and sweeps away all private or special acta
as are In ceu 11 let wltb It, By Its terms, the
municipal authorities, and courts having
Jurisdiction lu any cliy shall have the ex
clusive control and direction of the opening
Ac, of streets; the proceedings te be bad In
such cases as new required by law. Tbe
laws In force when tills petition was pro pre pro
eented were tbe general read laws as
amended ter Lineaster oeunly by the acta
of 1851 and 1857, tbe proceeding appear te be
In strict conformity thereto.
This disposes et all the errors assigned
except the tirtb, wblcb alleges tbat tbe
court erred In discharging the rule te show
cause why cectluuances should net be made
nunc pre tunc for November session, 1SS0,
January sessions, 1887, and April sessions,
1867, et tbe order te the reviewers. Tnat
this assignment Is without merit is dearly
shown by ibe ruling In re read In Salem
township 103, Pa. 250.

man next month, If the weather shall per
mlt him te go from Washington te the
polls, at his summer home and legal resi
dence, In Montgomery county, Md. Mr.
McCulloch hat high regard for Mr. Cleve
land and ter Mr. Tburman personally, but
hlaehlel reason for supporting them fa tbat
they stand for a liberal and progressive re
form et the tariff. Mr. McCulloch refers
te bis letter te the Philadelphia Academy
of Musle meeting, wbleb Indorsed the
president's message In January last, and
te the following reoemtntndatlona from
his own annual report as secretary of the
treasury, in December, 1883 :
First, that the existing duties upon raw
materials, which are te be used in menu menu
rseturets, should be removed. Tbis can be
done In tbe interest of our foreign trade.
Seejnd, tbat the duties upon the articles
used or consumed by thosewho are the
least able te bear tbe burden et taxatlcn
should be reduced. This also can be
efipcted without prejudice te our expert
trade.
Mr. McCulloch had hoped tbat the lle lle
publiean national convention would tbls
year adept similar declarations. On the
oentrsry, It made economic declarations
whleb render it Impossible for him te stand
upon Its platform or support Ha candidates.
Be bad hoped te see tbe Republican party
take a liberal and progressive position en
tbe tariff, but as it bad abandoned this pest,
tlen te the Democrats and taken a reaction,
ary coune be has been compelled te turn
away from It for a tlme. He still hopes
tbat the Kepublleau party, by defeat or by
some ethor means, msy be brought te Its
senses, se that men of liberal Ideas can once
mere atllllate wltb it,
A dispatch from Plattsbnrg, N. Y., te the
New Yerk Ti'me.1 says the political situa
tion la rapidly becoming very Interesting
In Nortbern New Yerk, and Cleveland
stock Is rapidly going up. This is the great
Iren region of tbe state and Is naturally
Republican, but tbls yesr some startling
changes are likely te occur. In Essex
oeunty tbe prospects are that a Democratic
member or assembly will be obesen. This
will reduce, ir net wlpe out entirely, tbe
usnal Republican majority en tbe presi
dential ticket, In Franklin county many
Democratic acquisitions are reported, the
most notable el which Is William Johnsten,
a lifelong Influential Republican of great
wealth, who Is enthusiastically supporting
Cleveland. Other oenverslonsare reported.
in I'lattaeurg the Democrats are very een
ildent. Charles Wilsen, a well-known
Iceal Democrat, bas been holding (2,000 for
nlnng time, wbleh he'wishets te wager en
Cleveland, but nan find no' takers. Al
together, the outlook ter Cleveland la
decidedly mero favorable than tn 1884.
A Chicago Nees speelal from Kansas City,

Men lu w Yerk.
At a mass meeting In Cooper Union, Wew
Yerk, en Monday night, Governer Hill
made a long speech In tbe etourse et wblcb
he said : , -. '
"The Republlcsbs delight te .insist upon
tbe ssiertlen that tbe present high rate of
wages wbleh the' workmen of tbe, country
enjoy Is attrlbutahle te tbe existence of a
high tariff. I rophatlenlly deny the truth,
el tbat ststement. Republican politicians
csnnotknewas much upon this subject of
wsges as de the manufacturers and the
worklnginen tbemselves. Tbey, abeve all
ether olaaaed, ought te knew what has
caused and continued the high rate
of wages new existing, as tbey are
virtually interosted In the eiuestlen.
Let tne glve you the proofs upon
the point furnished from olUelsl sources.
The bureau el labor statistics lu tbls state
for the past year bas been engaged In
collecting Information upon the subject of
wages, and has caused circulars te be issued
te all tbe manufacturers and labor organiza
tions in tbe state, requesting replies te
various questions relatlug te labor mutton).
Among tne quosttens risked were these:
First Is tbe prevailing ratoet wages among
men In your tradH higher or lower than U
was five years sge7 Second Te what de
you attribute the change, If any? Replies
bave been numoreualy roeotved and Ibe re
suit msy be summarized as follews: Outef
a total number of 2.810 replies received from
msnufaeturers, 1,414 report wsges same as
five years age,' 812 aa 'higher,' and but 207
or less than 8 per cent, report wsges as
lower.' Dees net this most effectually
refute the claim of the Republicans, made
four years age, tbat the election et Clove Cleve
land would result In the reduction of the
wsges of the laboring claesesT Of the 207
out of the 2,810 manufacturers rennrllng
wages aa Mower tban five jears age,' I find
tbat 102, or a fraction ever 78 per cent, of
them, are engaged In heavily ' protected '
trades, whlle lesa than 22 per cent,
are engaged tn the unprotected Industrie.
Of the 608 organlzttlens that answered the
question, " De you attribute the Increase el
wages. If any, lu your trade, te organiza
tion 7'' 500, or u friction ever 80 per cent,
and which represents a membership of
ever 114,000, replied emphatically in tbe
affirmative. Of tbe 2,250 manufacturers
who report wages as Mho same' or
'hlgher' tban five years, 015 tailed te an
swer tbe question ; 'Te what de you
attrlbute tbe lncrease 7" Of the 1 311,
however, who did reply, 801, or ever. 00 per
cent, attributed the lucreaau wholly te or
ganization' whlle six, nr less tban half et
one per cent., claimed that protection' was
the caure.
"It Is a fact that the unprotected trades
In this state are the best and most ther
eughly organized trades ; and It Is an In
controvertible fact, also, that without an
excoptlen, the wages paid In the unpro
tected trades are the highest paid In the
state,"
The bulk of Gnvorner Hill's specch wan
dovetcd te a delenmi of his action lu veto
ing the Haxton electoral reform bill, which
was approved by all tbe labor organiza
tions. He explatned his rontens for veto
ing the moasure en the ground of the
defects existing In It, and declared that It
was his deliberate Judgment that the Re
publicans nurpoHely placed oljecllenablu
previsions In this moasure aud made It
defective, se that In the ovent et Its disap
proval they could have an opportunity te
endeavor te mabe political capital.

The Secretary el state Bheira the Danger el
an Overloaded Treasury.
Hen. Themas F. Bayard, secretary of
state, delivered his first speech et the cam
paign in the Wilmington, Del., opera heuse
en Monday evening te a Urge and enthusl enthusl
aatle audlouee. Alter retorting In com
plimentary terms te tbe people of his home
be said that four years ego when he left the
Senate te stand bestde Mr. Cleveland be
knew that the president was oom eom oem
monolug one et the severest teaks
ever undertaken by an Ameri
can citizen, 1 de net prnpose te speak

I baveseen matters of grAve Impert te tbe
whole people defeated ter party Intereats 1
nut the record is made, ana l am wining
te stand fairly by the judgment formed
upon tbat. He argued that a sur
plus produced by excessive taxation
must be cured by reducing taxation.
In 1887 a serious buslneas panle was
threateued en account of tbe accumulation
et the surplus, and In Ootebor et tbat year
tbe prealdent seriously thought el calling
Congress together. Everything tbat could
be dene was done, and by paying oil every
debt and every bend poialble relief was
afforded and the throstened dlssster was
tided evor. This is why the president's
message In Docember touched u;en but one
topic. He wanted the Congress the rep
resentatives of the people te thare Iho
responsibility for a condition of things he
could net control. Ue told you it was
a condition, and net a theory, that
confronted you 130,000,000 as surplus
In tbe treasury and Increasing Rt
the rate et 10,000,000 a month.
What sense Is there, when you bave
mere money in tbe treasury than is needed
te go en oelleotlng still mero T The presi
dent showed tbat the taxes came from two
soureos from Impert duties aud the tax en
whisky and tobaeoo. On wbleh should tee
red ue tlen be made 7 Congress found some
authority for the secretary et the treasury
te go Inte the market and buy bends, and

miura, 4 for cent, bends being held at "130.
and In order te return some et the surplus
te the people he was compelled te purchase
some of these bends at this enormous pre
inltun. Fairly considered, the bends
should be paid dollar for dollar at maturity.
But It Is hardly wise for a man te buy bis
own paper and pay SO per cent premium.
It would net be considered sensible or
proper In prlvale business, and It Is
none the leas wise for a government te deit.
By quoting from statistics be allowed tue
rapid growth of production. In general
terms, tbe people of the United Slates ean
manufacture all they require for twelve
months in seven months. What, then, is
te beceme et the eicess of isber for the re
maining five months 7 Where shall this
surplus go T There Is a borne marker, aure
enough, because tbere is no harrier te
commerce between the slates. But when
tbat market Is over-sutplld, what are we
te de with tbe surplus? Net only ti thla
home production luereaslng, but your
lnvonters' bave found out bow le
preserve feed and keep It for ten
years and send It all ever the world.
The oieiss will fatally affect tbe prloe of
the whole. A man has a great plant. He
sees a surplus et bis predust threaten'ng,
and be sees lower prlees ahead. What
happen? The combination et tbe strong
and powerful men te prevent the tbrsat tbrsat
enedfall. They step the production. What,

'The luter-stats oemmorco law was for pro

reading tonight, In a volume printed by
