THUS is. after nil, a good deal of
pathos m the rapiJity with which
great party, nntxpaotedly in complet
national control. has cut itsowu tnroat.
Th gg who charge that the public is
"lafftrlny from too much politics
h'juld not forgot that it is the quality
of the politic, not its .iiumtity. which
is baJ.
.
Vi sCSPECT that XMlniUt .Stevens
cau stand the falsi BCCOtatioM of the
Mci'reary resolution better tbau the
(.'leTeland-Blouat-Willis crowd could
stand the truth.
TaiRI is very little doubt that if the
corporation which owu rjoles in this
city would only consent to pay the dol
lar tax out of their own profits, instead
of charsrinif it up to the already well
tased cunsumer. the newest revenue
proposal would be a complete auceeas.
As it is, it bears deliberation.
Ni i PAST of ScrantOD can ba improved
without the benetitof reaching out and
diffusing itself arnoo other parts.
No money spent for improving one sec
lion is wasted, so far as otlur sections
ara concerned. The upbuildiag of a
prosperous city should bo tue pride, aa
it inevitably is the profit, of all its
citizens.
The Estimates i ommittke have de
cided wisely not to consider improve
ments before the necessary appropria
tions have been actod upon. But the
committee must sureiy connt as a ne
ctssity of Uf in Scrauton, rather than
on of its luxuries, such an improve
ment in the police force as wiil afford
adequate protection to property own
ers and pedestrians. Gentlemen of the
committee, pet after the burglars.
Ji ,.je .Meti iKb of Mercer has de
cided that the new ballot law gives the
sheriff of each county the option of de
ciding whether he shall print the elec
tion proclamation in two or more news
papeis, or else pasta it np on somi con
fenient store tor, barn side or fenon,
but that he csnnot 1-gally do loth.
Acting upon this decicion the sheriff of
Mercer county has atolen a march on
tue newspaper by choosing tue fence
board plan. We snpps t this is his
right under the law but it shows a
poor regard for the Interest! of Mf
cer voters, who can scarcely, be ex
pected t'j go on a still iinnt for poorly
printed proclamation bulletins stock
up where not one mm iu a d- zn will
eter see them
BOOM THE BRIDGES.
The whole amount of it is that no
argument whatever has yet been ad
duced disproving the need or thn expe
disncy of tha proposed bridgs improve
ments. The one expected contention
that they won I I coit too much has
been rufnted so elfecttially la adfapo
that no opponent of the meisure ha-i
bad the hardihood to advance It over
bis own nam. Iu a Mbltc manner
Tha tlgnres of Mr. itoobe. showinic that
although the city has lately erected the
municipal building at a total coit of
$300,ij4J, furnished it at a further cost
of $HU, 000, and bought two site for firo
engine bouses at a cost of : )(, the
city debt is lens today than It was when
the municipal building was begun,
leave1 nothing of the plea that r
ton cannot afford to fxpMd 880,00p
additional on improvements which are
urged by every consideration of murnr
ipal thrift, convenience and progress.
The letter of the Meridian street cor
respondent olalmlng that tax-payers,
resident in that vicinity will not vote
for bridges until they get an elootrio
street lamp at a certain dark spot, li
the first approach to public 'dincuiaion
that lias been made on the negative
Hide of tho bridge question ; and it will
not weigh heavily I'nqusstionably,
Meridian street property owners should
have a sufficient number of street
lights; and the councilman from that
ward should be interviewed by tham
But to give this insufficiency of light
as a reaaon for opposing a public im
provemeat whioh would, in soma meas
ure, benefit every one of tha one hun
dred and fifty thousand persona who
live or do bualnaes In this city reduaea
the hoitll attitude of Meridian street
people to (mall proportions. Indeed,
how can these tax payers aslc for them
selves an impiovement which they
would, by opposing tlio new bridges,
deny to the remaining citizsusuip of
metropolitan BerBton
But wuile the bridges m. not dan
gerously threatcuod by anything thai
lias b on euid or written again! them
publicly, care should bd ex-arched by
v-ry progressiva Scrantonlau that
they are no' endangered bv the apathy

DISHONEST ELECTIONS.
Tho oaatlitg of a a.)li l Republic in
vote iu the senate for Mr. St w,wrt is
uo lonsttr to be elaulfiad under any
other title than that if a trie silverite
agatott the bill rapaallng th tlral
election law is u anoooraglng sign of
tttatdfaatn In the obAtnplnnahip ot a
fundamental priaclpla o( justice and
civic honor Thar wan jintlUible
fear, four years ago, that the Republi
can ptrty Would b frightanad by tha
incessant howls of hvpoorltloal
Democratic reformers, into a forgot
i uliioss ol us duty to tha federal
ballot. That uolitical leaders of expel
ieuce should have been sc ii 'd into n
humiliating oompromisoby bogai cries
about "fraud and fprca" whic i wore
in Uiems'lves transparent COOfSloaS
of Democratic BUll', will ba a curious
incident to future hUtorlaOS But the
obatl inlng rod of sabaequant defeat has
brought tha Rapublloau sanators once
more together, aud it is tobehnpad
that they will not again grow tearsouie
and recreant.
Tfitie is uo principle more certain,
fair and jut than that, under our form
of goveruiusnt, tho majority should
rule. The acceptance of OOOgrmlonal
representation by the south upon a
basis of negro cltitsnthlp which is
counted iu the census but not permitted
to vote at the polls is a ratification of
fraud which the federal government
alontean unravel. The various states
of the south need not be expected to
correct au evil which is their own pride
and boa-t. The tiue Bourbon prattle
about federal supervision of elections,
nieaun.g the negation of self govern
ment, cannot long count for much
while "self government is conditioned
npOU stuttVd ballot boxes and a fraud
ulent count, ibie of two things is
inevitable. Either the south must be
f. i ced to accept its congressional repre
sentation upon a basis comoMiuurat
with the vote it h-iuestly pills, thus
giving the colored citum his due or
we must proclaim to the world that
tiie experiment of emancipation, suc
cesstuliu war.kas Ignomlnlously failed
iu peace.
Not all Republicans are thoroughly
convinced of tha wisdom of the Four
teen tU and Fifteenth amen Iments,
conaidered abstractly. But all should
by tine time be convinced that the ac
ceptance of them by tha south, after a
leniency from the victors unexirnpled
in the annals of war, iavolvea manly
and honest observance of them, and not
the sullen, peevish and conspiring atti
tude which outcrops in every allusion
to the need of an nonest billot. It
sni:s the southern purpose, in its pres
ent brief hour of paramount authority,
to cloak its contemplated insubordina
tion behind a Hypocritical clamor abon t
the "intimidating glisten of Repub
lican bayonets' put as a safeguard
around suspicion p illing places , and
to make this demagogical cry the pre
text for a complete demolition of pre
cautior.a against fraud. But a time
will come when the conscienca of the
peopte will not sit contented under a
government based on the widespread
suppression of a legal vote.
THE ISSUE IN DUNMORE.
There is very littlo doubt among un
biased observers aa to which ticket in
the spirited borongh contest in our
neighboring COfflmaoity of Dunmore
nest invites the support of tho.ie to
whom eftV'ent and representative local
rule is of more immediate consequence
than the small j-aiousies or ambttiona
of factional bosses and aspiring par
tisans The ticket headed by Timothy Bark,
while made up of good men Irreapec
tive of party, represents the stdid busi
ness worth and competency of the
borough, ths financial Interests of tha
borough-tax payers and the whole idea
of progressive mnnlclpil rul, and
should be supporle I accordingly It Is
the one ticket which pledges itself, if
elected, to do the button ff local got
amount in a strictly bnunst-lik)
manner for the benefit of all.
Tiik TsD0!l naturally has no inter
est in this matter farther than a desire
to s" the best results accrue to the
greatest nnmber of people Hich a
BOOIUtttnaHon will not, it appsars to
us. be likely to follow the retention in
power of a purely partisan coterie of
leader soeking rather their own giori
flcAtlon than tha promotion of the best
interests 'if the horongh.
"
AN EXAMPLE.
I. Ten th prohibitionist !COnitr!od
to admit that so long us the law charges
the licensed dealer In intoiicants a
certain price for legalizing his busi
nese, it is tha dealer's right to get the
protection be pays for. Thus the or
gunizad home brewers, who pay ItooOM
in this coouty. will b sustained by all
shades of home eentimsnt In their af
fort to clear the field of unlicensed
com pntl tors.
rfu. ! t 1 - .L...I1 t - t

r. mutability as to bo in of Sale, i Inn
acter and age of patrons and rispOOll
tillity In damages for any aucbleut
which may befall an inobriata ai a re
salt of inch sale, it ought, In common
fairness, to close the "speak easles,"
ping up the "holes in the-wall" and
otherwise exert strong energy in the
rooting out of illicit aaloons nnd tip
pling houses Even the prohibitionist,
who is oppoied to tha trutH r In nil its
forma, must concede the conimsrcial
dishonesty of compelling one man to
pay for a privilege which another
ateals witli Impunity.
And yet, to say that the law does noth
ing of the kind la to utter a common
place which Is almost offensive iu ita
familiarity. Scarcely a day passe iu
northeastern Pennsylvania that doss
not disclose boiiu hint or clu to the
existence, uumolestsd, of unlicensed
plaoal for the sale of intoxicating
drink. The court may charge grand
juries (o bring in in lictmsuts, and the
formn Of the .juries may strivo
their level bast to get honest return
from constables, but tbeit ulforls am
more a often farcical tlmii successful,
and the Illicit Competition goes on
without perceptible diminution. Why
don't the lioenitd retailors unite to pro
tect their own interests'
THAT TAX ON POLES.
Th question ol levying a lax of one
dollar on ouch pole owned by tho elec
trlcal oornptniei in this city is now
t'nirly before til public. Tu- dllOUt
tlon of it should b- (r tnd frank, au I
not clouded by VeiUI lUlpiolO is or r
relevant Intlonattom on either sid.
Pheta methoda do not expedite one's
arrival at a fair decision. TUey limply
befog the atmosphere and stimulate
needless patllon.
The Bareuton Traetloo oompeny has
twenty live bnndred poles within the
city limit:1, the Scrauton Ulictrui
Light and Heat company about live
thouaand md other oompani noi
ilbly five thouaand and mv be
eight thousand mora I n lor the
pending dollar ordinance, tb total
revenue derivable (rem lb electrical
oompani by this luxation would
d iQbtlesi range from twelve thousand
tice hundred dollar to fifteen thousand
dollar annually. This sum would un
doobttdly proven welcoms ncqnUltion
to the municipal rVnUM, No one
disputes that Nor can the rigiit of
councils, iu its discretion, t Impose
this tax. provided the ordinance itself
bo valid, be gainsaid. In return for
privileges grained, xomi form of muni
clpil taxation upon corporations is on
qtl stionably fair and j Ult ill principle,
if wisely executed iu fact
Toe point to be conildtred at Ibis
time is wbethtr the dollar pole tax
would in all its effect be as expedient
as its advocates oonten I. Doe not the
Opinion that it would be paid by the
corporations themsslvja, out ui thtir
profits, and not by th public Iteelf, in
tin form either of increased obtrg or
of a correspondingly ilacreassd eftici
anoy of service, ignore a cuuiitim re
sult of sue i exptrimauts iu other
cities ' When, for instance, a tux of
one dollar is placed on the
pole of an electric arc light
for which the city pays a nightly
reutal of tWntystfivt cents, what
is to prevent tha illuminating
company from charging an extra cent
; per light to reimburse itself for the
tax And how, then, would the city
i really profit by the tax .' In similar
m inner, when the traction company
j and the telephone company aro as
! sessed In this manner, who believes
that they will fall to pass the burden
j along until it finally rests heavily upon
the poor mau who ri les daily to and
from his daily work, or upon the owuer
, of a telephone whose rental is increased
I or his service deteriorated';
If councils think otherwise, let us
have the pole tax But if it is simply
a uew way of taxing the public, let us
' pause and consider whether, with new
uess. They will vigorously strive to do
the usual amount of trade, whatever the
competition may be, aud we are confident
thai they will u :ce I.
