QUEEN VICTORIA.
From the point of view of un Aiuer-
cu repnblioea it bun fonj beu tiiys
:ery that modem England should rind
anything to grow enthtulastio over in
tlte personality of the harmless old ldj
who charges it lomotblng like $10,lKK,
000 a year for the privilege of having
herself nud relatives occupy its royal
pallaces, and sit. in non-productive,
power-shorn idleness, upon an obsoles
cent throue. Just why, upon the inert tl
of the case, the 800 pounds of common
humanity whom wo call Q.ioen Vic
toria, and who is surpassed in intellect,
kindness, achievements and personal
beauty by uncounted thousands of her
own so-called subjects should com
maud the absurd revereuce with which
ber name is invested in the greatest
nation of modem times, our owu uosjI
bly excepted, the average democrat is
Utterly at a loss to imagine; unless, in
deed, it bed'.ie to the mere momentum
of long -practiced habit aud to the tra
ditions of a mouarchy that was indis
putably glorious in its day aul geuer
ation. The exquisite ludicronsness of this
whole serk-coniic royalistic faro iu
which a queen, robbed of power, pre
tends yet to ex.'rcise i.rod-grtntel au
thority; and In which a wjmin is rep
resented as the culmination of femi
nine graces who, in real fact, Is about
us awkward, puffy and shimbliuir a
specimen cf good-natured feminine
humanity as one could anywhere find,
naa been lately heightened by the di
vi-rtiug anachronism with which the
' queen, by the grace of (rod, ot Groat
Britain and Ireland and empress of
India sought to convey a snub to
William E.vart GHadstont. Since the
dav wh.n the gad tiy tried to annihil
ate the cx by a glance, there has beja
witnessed co more curious distortion
of prerogative, no more touching mis
comprehension of proportions, than
was shown in Victoria's studied nag
lect to express regret for the resigna
tion of the commoner who for sixty
continuous years had shed upon Bng
lish Doli'.ics. English scholarship. Hug
lish belles lef.res and English theology
a lustre beside which the combined ef
fulgence of all the Gaelphs from fat
faced old George of Hanover down to
the i resent ruler and the worthless
heir presumptive, woul 1 be less than a
rush light beside a blazing planet.
This querulous simper of queen 1?
dislike has been vry properly treated
with entire indilT;rence by both M r.
Gladstone and his friends. The go ; 1
Will of a monarch who could fairly
slobber praises over suoa a peer as Lord
Salisbury, than whom England has
never had a more thoroughly disliked
premier, would be too dearly devoid of
discrimination to add one iota to Mr
Gladstone's renown, just as her ill will
is of too infinite unimportance to de
tract from it in the slightest. But the
incident suffices to remind Amsricins
ani-wof thasupreme disproportions that
exist under a form of government in
which the greatest statesman, scholar
and sage in the English speaking world
is nominally under subjection to. an 1
must take slights from, a stont-fscd
old woman who nas nev-r, during all
her life, done so much as the hint of a
real service to the public, thought so
much as the suggestion of a great
thought for the benefit of p uteri ty or
achieved, in any direction, anything
more consequential than the drawing
of a phenomenal list of salaries, pen
sions and emoluments with unflagging
punctuality and dispatch

STEAM AND AIR TRANSIT.
The Pittsburg I)ipatcb, in noting
the recent death of Hon. John Torr9f,
of llonesdale, recalls the suggestive
fact that Mr. Torrey was "the last but
one of the survivors of those who rodo
on the Stourbridge Linn, the first loco
motive thnt ever turned a driving
wheel on the American continent, on the
occasion of its trial trip on the DsltWftfS
and Hudson Canal company's track at
llonesdale, Aug. 0. 1839 The emrinosr
was Horatio Allen, who died at Booth
Orange, N. J., a year or two ago. John
Torrey and Otis Avery stood by the en
gineer's side during that memorable and
historic trip on the plon"er of locomo
tives in this country. Otis Avery, for
merly an nssoclate judge of Wayne
county, still lives in llonesdale, the
last survivor of that trip."
The progress spanned bv the life
time of Judge Avery, ;partlculsrly in
the direction of quick, cheap and con
venient transportation, would sjem In
credible if related in a work of Ac
tion. Inasmuch as Judge Avery is still
in rugged health, it seems not improb
able to suspect that he may yet be per
mitted to journey n the pioneer air
hip when the problem of aerial navi
gation shall be solved, ns it probably
will, iu the near future. Aud if it be
not premature, we beg leave to suggest
the propriety ot inviting the judge to
take this trip, confident as we are that
it will bo a realized fancy within a few
years nt most. Nothing would better
lytnbolltl the amazing readiness,
fecundity ami ingenuity of Americans
in in. cluinlcal Invention than this link
ing of the birth of steam transit with
the birth of aeriul llight
Tag iKni in Borantoo must be kept

entertaining incidents of this vociferous
spring time There are several hun
dred able gentlemen iu America, al
though poitlbly not as able as
our friend Soper, who do not
share his distinguished repugnance
iu this matter, but we do nor wish to
convey the impression that bis
name is therefore to be taken iu vain.
If he dors not regard participation Iu

right to bvlieve that it ll discreditable.
This happy fact also piesenes to the

MR DUQQAN'8 OPINION.
In an interview in last evening's
Truth, Burgess Duggan of Dunmors
dexterously defends his right to act
simultaneously as borough attorney, or
solicitor. The ingenuity with which
he interprets the sets of May 1"), IST-t
aud of May ".'J, IStfJ, s as to leave out
of the question the impropriety of such
a double tenure does creater credit to
his skill as a legal fencer than to his
smcerity as a reform -r It fairly re
calls some of the remarkable exposi
tions of municipal law to which Seran
tonians were treated in a certain period
uow happily ended.
But if it is the intent of tin net of
May 13, 137-i. to prevent a double ten
ure of borough oftL-es in 1 nob vlv, we
believe, disp rtes ttiis it is obviously
merely n shifty juggling wi:h teciiui
calitlss to argue that the borougli at
torneyship is not a boroag't otlb, or,
as Mr. Duggau calls it, only a mythical
oue. Whatever this offloa may be, as
regards the wording of this particular
statute.it is obviously a vry Influen
tial offi:e in actual practice: and oue
that carries with it palpable weight In
the determination of municipal proce
dure. Any one with a loftv spirit of fair
ness and propriety woul 1 ius:ntly s.'e
the impropriety of a burgsss going to
himself ia his ufti.-ial a ipaolty as a
borough attorney aul xsiciug himself
what he would advis' himself to do
touching a given question of official
conduct. If for iustauce, Mayor Cn
neil were also to arrogate to hims-lf
the oftioial functions of C.ty solicitor
Torrey, and were, as mayor, to go to
himself as city solicitor, for an opinion
whereby to govern his course iu the
mayoralty, it would not be oue particle
more absurd than is the double bar
relled prerogative claimed by the bur-gas-
borough-attorney of Dunmore.
We do not believe there is a court in
Pennsylvania which would uplioll Mr.
Duggau's interpretation.
.
JCDOB RiCE'g decision in favor of se
creting legal advertisements at the
public expense in obscure attorneys'
papers will be appealed to the supreme
court If the law ia as Julge K;c In
terprets it, then the law is in used of a
vigorous spring tonic.
The KsTEKMEb Philadelphia Times
admits that, with respect to population,
area, push aud fire, Scranton has the
lead over Heading, but it contends that
Heading is best in the line of manu

and penurloOl property owners hu l l
ing monstrosities on our sidewalks, the
great majority of oar citiztns will
soon begin to wonder where they are at.
e . ii
PROTECT THE SIDEWALKS.
An ordinance has just been pained by
the city council of Louisville which has
particular pertinency In view of many
audscions encronclimsnta upon the
rights of the people in this -ity. This
ordinance requires property owners,
under severe penalties, to remove all
things whatsoever that obstruct the
sidewalks, whether low awnings, cel
lar doors, carriage steps, awning poles
or nameless conglomerations of vicious
scalT tiding aud aggravating masses of
brick, stone and mortar.
There is a sentiment In Lsolsvllls
that the sidewalks belong to the public,
and are not the personal perquisite of
the close -listed properly owner who
coolly appropriates theiu to his own
selfish uses. We believe that this sen
timent prevails, also, In Scranton; but
from the manner Iu which this Is ds
lied lu one or two conspicuous instances
the casual visitor to our city might he
inclined to doubt it. Iu the majority
of cases it wonld not be necessary to
call public, attention more than once to
the existonce of a nuisance such as SSV -eral
that could be pointed out in this
city. Few of our citizens, we an
happy to state, boast thu thickness of
moral bldo which would lead them
to defy the unanimous opinion of re -Hpectable
pedestrians.
But in cases such as thoso at present
under consideration, where cupidity
has apparently swallowed up every
consideration of regard for propriety,
there ought to be some summary legal
process for the protection of the city
If an ordinance will reaoh this type of
municipal evil, let us have such an en
acttneut without delay. If not, then
let the officials of the city apply to the
courts for redress or, if no better plan
presents itself, condemu the projecting
monstrosities and take chances on the
resultant damages,
It would he a sorry board of viewers
which would tiring iu a bill against
the city for protecting what is morally
its own.

COME
Rare Violins.
The study of old violins probably af
fords greater pleasure to those inter
ested than is t-ver accorded the most
enthusiastic scientist who delves into
the mysteries of aroluo ilogy. As a
general rule every violinist regards the
Instrument upon wbioh h performs
the bsst of any iu the world, whether
it is a geuuiue Cremona or a factory
mads llddle. With the iooreass of
knowledge upon the subject of violins,
it is said, the mania for possessing rare
specimens grows stronger and in this
ngd one can seldom meet a player of
note who does not possess a half dozen
or more choice instruments and who Is
not ever ready to purchase a rare in
strument at any prioe, The ingenuity
of modern tuus has frequently taken
advantage of the desire upon part of
musicians for rare violins aud the ef
forts of the old makers are so closely
imltated that it is almost impossible to
distinguish the genuine Amati or Strad
I earl ns front ths modsrn production,
The enthusiastic collectors of the day
are therefore obliged to If mind a his
lory of sn Instrument offsred for sale
in order to be sure that their purchase
was not manufactured iu the present
century.
For a city of its size and musical
ability Scranton probably shelters a
greater number of rare and vuluable
violius than any city in the country.
There are comparatively few good vio
linists in the Electric City; but ths
performers in nearly every Instance
evoke soulful strains from instruments
of value that cannot be determined
the most expensive and rare violin in
tins state is probably owned by Carl
Koetnpel, the well known druggist.
The violin, an ancient specimen of the
work of Andrins Gturnaris, of I're
mo ia, was once tiie property of Bpobr,
