Hill C'AliBOMALS Reit3U0a.vs have or ganized for tbe spring ciiupaign by ihe selsctioa of E. E Heodrick as chairninn and Louis Grnmer ns secre tary. If Chiiirmau Hendrlek uets n chance to do any of his artistic fiauring in this campaign, the uiathamaticUns of the Democrsry v?ill soon wonder wiiatbtruck them. Snrefciiry Qrainar, by tho way, is an tdmlftblt assistant. The old saving of "pouring oil upon thu troubled wators" wbos.t antiquity extends far beyond that of the Now Testament scripture has received ad ditional significance recently from tho number of vessels wbich hsvn been saved by tho QU of nil distributed arouod a ship or by nman of oil bac The latest 0M6 was reported in yester day b TfilBCR, where a vessel was thrown on its beam ends, and its bal last had shifted, yet she righted and arrived safoly in port Tin: kuu. text of the income bill which was published in yesterday's Titiiti'Xfc shows essentially that in coujes above four thousand dollars are to bo taxed and that the classes of incomes e.xnnpted are comparatively insignificant. Y do not b-jlieve that this bill will become the law of the land. One reason is that there are enough Democratic representatives whoso incomes txoead the amount named in both houses of cougress who will vote against the measure to do feat it. aos to lose any monetary vlii9 that wise employment would give it. Tee loss of tini is donbly the Iosj of money wheu the economy of lime woold brin; needful relief while scaling down its cost. Ic is to be hoptd tint City En-giae.-r Phillipi will further his inquiry as to exactly what proportion o( the contemplated expenditure would re main in this city. It will afford the vtv strongest argument In favor of a quick ratification of the work. ltmisit Of a wucon or baggy carrie with i the suuin risk, that attend trav el lu tho railway oar ,or on the staaiu boat. 1'enons are liable to be kill, I by n runaway horse in all the horrible ways which result from train disaster. The animal may plunge, us happened the other day at Atlautic City, sud denly into tho quicksand, dragging those behind to death, or he may plunge into tho river with the carriage and occupants, a, occurred near Hones dale, or may be struck by a train at a crossing. The best preventive is a well broken horse in the first place an! a masterly driver in the next. There will be no recital Until the tariff OIMbMod is settled.

It is questionable if the l'eckhatn "jolly" can compensate the mugwump waiters for the Van Aleu "throw down.'' It WILL si vklli.y be denied by the uv-ist ardent Republican that speaker Crisp is earning bis salary. So is Mr. Koutelle. It is a QCBB8 coudiiion in the gov ernment of civilizid America whon ap pointees to our highest iudiciarv have to get their political records ( Ked by "Dave" Hill AMERICANS QUICKLY recuperate. By 151)7, under the good times of restored Republican rule, tho trials of (trover Clevelandism will be remembered only as a horrid dream. Dr. Talhaue is quoted as objecting to the dime admission plan because ; r,gniar price is lie is not a ten cent; man. ua migui also have objected to it on the ground that salvation is free. Even a business panic, of which we have expel ienced the worst, affords no reason why the present generation of Scrantouians should deny themselves the conveniences of a compact and well' appointed city. Where is tue American who can read without disgust how the income tax-gatherer is expected to poke his nose into every citizen's business'.' Where is the Yankee that can stomach such vulgar iinpertinonce? The M lOHlXH organs in Albany op pose the Peckbam nomination because the nominee has not had a "uniform record of partisan consistency." We thought the question was, would he make a good supreme court justice? QaLUSHA A. Grow informs a liotham interviewer that when Clove land goes out, Amsricaus will not be indicted with a recurring Democratic plague for twenty-five or thirty years. It will take an entirely new crop of fools to make possible another such an experiment. Democracy's platform demanded a revenue tariff, branding anything el so s fraudulent and unconstitutional. Democracy's leaders respond with a tariff which neither raises revenue nor abates, save in spots, "unconstitution ality" which Democracy condemns. Which, then, is tho fraud, McKinley ,sin, whlrh is nrotection pure and sim ple, or Wilsonism, which is mischief knows what'.' The crazy man, be his crazs tempo rarily caused by rum or due to a per mansnt mania punctuated by occas ional outbreaks, has no right to be per mitted to carry a loaded pistol. He is not safe in its company, nor is itsafe in his. The temptr that leads to homl - cido or fcloninns nixault needs to be vigorously divoroed from all prevent ible opportunity to do mischief. The brand of Cain is growing too popular. --1 The senate committee on pensions made an adverse report on the bill providing for an increase to the extent uf one hundred dollars a month on all pensions granted for the loss of both eyes. The reasons given for tbe re , fusal at this particular juncture in our financial affairs seem to lie ample. Although if times were thriving and there were abnndant sums in the treas ury the justification might not seem so great. Tut; two rvaiUSTS in Florida who both declare they want to fight but do not seem to be making heroic efforts to get at each other, may not be exactly like the two boys of whom it was said, "one is afraid end the other dassent," but there is a prevailing belief that under all the adverse circumstances which surround them the fight either will not come off or else will be a fizzle. In either case the public is to be con gratulated. The nomination of Wheelorn. Peck bam of New York, to be associate judge of tbe supreme court of the I'nited States, it Is understood, is in pursuance of aud conforms with the President's action In the Hornblower sase. It will be difficult to see how the lenate can give a valid reason for re jecting this nomination, as Mr. Psck aam has always figured with the StmtMl J. Tilden wing of the New York Democracy and has been promi nent in all efforts at purifying politics sud has an uncommonly clean record, ilthough a pronounced Jeffersonian Democrat. As a representative of the ilement which is in strong antagonism GREAT BOOK OFFER. Never before in the history of news papers nor of literature has there been such a L'enerons offsr as that whioli Tin: Tkihi'ne makes to its readers to day. On another page will be found thu names of a vast numbsr of books in standard Enirlish and Amrlcan literature, works by the very best i authors which are almost giveu away and, in fact, furnished to TlUBUME read I ers for a mere song. These books were uot constructed on a cheap scale for tbe purpose of selling cheaply. They belong to three regular aeries aud were originally intended to be sold from a large publishing house of the highest respectability, guaranteeing ouly the best work. Thrse volumes are comprised in three series known as th Oxford, the R'uby and the Columbus series. The first one, consisting of the most complete lines of standard works, contaius two hundred aud sevonty-fiva titloj. The fifty 'cents each, but The Tribune offers them for twentyfive cents. The Iiugby series embraces u list of one hundred titles and contains the best works which bate been writ ten for boys and girls. The regular price is seventy-five cents, but The Tribune offers them at twenty cants. The Columbus series contains standard works bound in strong cloth, printed on good paper and in clear type and, briefly, is of such an exctllent ciiaracter as would adorn any household. At the prices lixed no parson in this commun ity is so poor that he cannot bs with ont a library of which any man minlit well bo proud. These books will be sold at fifteen cents each. The coupons accompanying each set needed, with the prices named, are few in number, and it behooves our readers to set about the work of cutting them at once, as the demand in advance of I the arrival of the books which will be placed on sale tomorrow indicates a great rush, and therefore it is Impossible to tell how soon the entire series will be exhausted. No such offet was ever before made and is unlikely to be repeated. The pressing emergencies of the times com pelled the compauy from which The Tribune made its purchases to part with the works at such figures as enable us to make this unparallelled offer. Now is the time to coins or send to The Tribune office for the books you most desire. in rather hmi verse but with a tumultu ous wave of earnest oss that compensates for any rhythmical defects, the disap pointed Democrat WbO condui ts the poet ical department of the esteemed wAkt s ISarre cews-Dealer lets Hy this soulful dirge: The boys who wn.tid for Urover Thinking they would lie in clover. Are much put about liecause they're Htill out, Uut hisreijcn will shortly bj over. Only tho sublime patience of tli Amer -ieau people prevents them from I islng m their mii;ht against lirovrr and those who Connect him, even in wibl Itights of poetic license, with so melitlaous, soothing and dreamy a thiut; as clover. From political doggerel to tho serio comic crudities that otieoftou encounters in eleKii'.c literature is somewhat of a step but it must be taken. Possibly the one extreme will neutralize the other. At all eventa,tu au Ontario county N.Y. cemetery stands a tombstone with this unique de scription : "In memory of , Who died May IS, IbH; In the ti'i year of his at;e. A 1,000 ways cut short our Days, None ure exempt from Death. A Honey Uee, bysiinKiua Me Did stop my mortal breath." If there is another Democrat who feels like the poet-editor of the Wilke-i-barro News-Dealer, let him keep away from the sting of the fno trade bee while lolling iu fields of "clover." An excellent suggestion touchiug the problem of relief was made by a writer in the New York Tribune the other day. He railed attention to the large number of little household repairs that are ordinarily made at this season of tho year but which are withheld by certain thoughtless laud lords and property owners because of the prevalent epidemic of exaggerated econ omy. The cost of these small alterations will have to be met, sooner or later. It can better be met now while labor is will hut t accept a low wage, in preference to idleness, thuu it could when the revival shall restore things to a normal basis. Those wbo have to pay the bills In either case usually buvethu money with which to do the paying; and the relief which the aggregate of these opportunities for neces sary work would afford, If improved now, would be considerable. The suggestion is just as good In !crantou as it is in Now York.

One point brought out at Monday evening's meeting of the city boards of trade, called to consider the projctd bridge improvements, is deserving, it would seem, of especial emphasis. While the maximum csst of the pro posed structures. Including riirht of wny, is only 1839,086 03, nccording to Councilman Roche's estimates, or nearly a round $80. DUO less than had hepii generally suppised, the major portion of this expenditure, if author ized next month and immediately aft erward nettoliated, would go directly into the hands of Hcranton's unem ployed and thence into tbe channels of locnl trade. In other words, tho city would be a double gainer by getttag this work done quickly : that is to say, it would get it done more cheaply than at some remote day, and its constrnc tion, by the effect it would have iu ac celerating business, would be a more appreciable public benefit than would be the case were nil workers busy at good wagea and all storekeepers cheered at sight of steadilv accumulating prof its. Tho two contemplated bridge!, it is generally conceded, nre public neces sities. We must have them some day. Oni natural growth, lately swelled by the vast accessions of contributory ter ritory nniif xed to the city in a commer cial sonee by the expanding network of electric street railways, which feed Increasing thousands into the thor oughfares of this thriving nietrop olis, points unerringly to better and surer facilities of quick inter-commu mention. At best we could do without them for only a brief tim- liy spi ting our own Interests, wo might man age to shove the expense over a few more months or a few more ynnrs. But in the end, and that do distant one, we should be compelled to accept the commercial login of the situation, go into our pockets for the necessary price and have the sorry rofl-ction that years of opportunity had been squan dered nil to no pnrpose. True economy, therefore, ories ont against delay. Time is money as thor oughly now as ever.
