Tbe aeeertioii that the uiiniitera of Scrarjtoii couteuipUte h campaign of ipiouHK aX'unt violators of the Sun Jay law couveva only a verv uarrow portion of tbe truth 1 1 ! the inteir tiou of tbe orjjauuars of this Sunday observance movement to give every liquor denier mid every dealer in other Mrttolfl heretofore accustomed to bo fold ou Suudav a fair chance to volun teer bi co-operation. Kepreseutnti va of tbe movement will, we uuderitan I, wait upon each dealer in the city, place before bim the movement' ob jects audiolicit bi active assistance in sustaining law aud order. II will be approached in a (entleuiauly fmhiou, aud will be treated tis a gentleman, who ha all a gtntlentaa'. int-rest lu tbe maintenance of law and in the prevalence of order. And in the great mjonty of cae we believe that tins courteous aud conciliatory method will not fail la tbe desired result. But if there ahoutd be recalcitrant; if the theory be false that all dealer in thi vicinity are public spirited gentle men aud citiz u. it is no doubt pos sible that more stringent methods will be utilized in bringing such persons to book. We do uot know how this is We are uot Muuiwig to su?ak, in de tail, for tbe Sunday observance league. Out on general principle it looks reas onable and plautlble to uppj. that if rogues defy the Uw and make light of the effort at law-enforcement, there will be provision for anabuu ltut de nioustratiou that this sentiment in be half of an orderly Sabbath i no: a passing fancy, fetich or fad, bit a strong, resolute and siucere convic tion, amply backed by practical ma chinery for the detection of pjrsitnt crime and for the puuuhmeut of defi ant criminal. Tbe print tvbiotl wedejire to impha size is that it wiil uot do for reputable dealers to classify themselves with, dealer who giory in Sun lay desecra tion aud in the cultivation of social disorder. There is no spirit of miiice, envy, spite or hate behind thi effort to close tbe saloon doors during hour when tbe sale of intoxicants is legally prohibited, aud to prevent, in other di rections, disrespect for tbe laws of tbe commonwealth. No person, when nsked to join hands with the move ment's promoters, should feel that the invitation involves a slur It does uot. It is simply the necessary start to a re form that must come some day, and that if it doesn't come along amicable and harmouioua lines may come along lines surcharged with trouble, If Mk. CVTSIAJD bad detired to sus tain his former rpntation for courage and back bone, be should have vetoed the Bland inflation bill witbin ten sec inda after its delivery at the white bouse. His present procrastination is one of tbe noticeable causes of con tinued business uncertainty. - Wb ivat in receipt of "The B. S.

There has recently been much ado in tbe press about theiuoustei gun which, Wedneeday at the Indian Head government proving ground, was test ed in the presence of the vice-president of the United States, three or four cab inet officers, two score foreign totoia tera, a dozen senators, four score rep resentatives, aevural generals and vari one other notabilities The gun is de signed to weigh U1) tons, have a Ill-inch rifled bore, hold 500 pounds of powder, and send a 120u-puund nitro-glyoerlne shell thirteen mile with snob a veloci ty a to pierce the thickest armor of the biggest ironclad that lliats. At the official teat the gun waa discharged two times, each time at a 19 inch H ir veyized armor plate at a distance of 200 yards, and each time the massive plate was literally pulverized, while the detonation and recoil were mil to resemble the rumbling of an earth quake, accentuated by deafening thuu der Taking all the details into consider atlou this mammoth weapon of batch cry was shown by the test to mark the very highest aobievomeut uf the human intellect, aud tbe skilled humm hand lu the planning and In the execution of marvelous mechanisms for the slaugh ter of mankind. In it the American nation has a now claim to fame, a now "passport to pre-eminence, a new title deed to the dread and upprehensiun of lees equipped powers entertaining the remotest expectation of belligerent in teutiona. Tbe American eagle, in view of thi great triumph, is entitled to flap his wing with an extra audacity, and that proud emblem of human free dom, the starry banner of the brave, is fully justified in letting out a new fold and in adding, if possible, a eaucier swirl and untie. Yet lu spite of all this great glory, Kepn-aentative Jeremiah Kimpsou, of Medicine Lodge, the sock less hero of the Kansas Populiatio revolt, is not at is tied. He has begun to Interrogate. He persists in asking troublesome ques tions. He want! to know what the big gan C0t; and the gun -boomers reply, $05,000. He wauts to know, next, the cost of each loud of powder aud shell ; and here lie- meets with the iuforma Hon that it is $850, or the equal of the daily wages paid by various municipal relief boards to 850 starving men. Then ho desires to ascertain whether there is any present war or uny near prospect of war which would justify tuts gov eminent In Investing 6fi 0 10 In a now useless cannon, when there Isn't tnongh free muiiey in the treasury to buy u respectable postage stamp, and in iqnandtrlng the wage of 700 men. in this era of widespread want ami mis ery, on an afternoon's oampalgn sgainal no mors exciting a victim than a harmless steel plate. Aud we really think, to be frank, that Jerry bus rather the best of the argument. IF Wl HAD only known about Mll UOkslanl' lecturing tour, perhaps Drover might have had his way. - Nov WAT Breckinridge has bad his say. it is proper to remark that he is, upon his own admission, one of tbe rarest combinations uf fool, aos and knave that this generation has ever de veloped The fewer of such men in Congress nd public life, the better for American legislation aud Americau morals TttADK THIS Spring WOUld be a good deal brighter it the trade disturbers would let go in the senate. THE LIGHT HHOBl M. Recognizing that the proposition of President v. W. ttoranton to sell to the city of Scranton the plant and good will of the Scranton Light, Heat aud Power company for fjU.UJJ in cash and the assumption of the company's out standing bond obligations involves an interesting municipal question, of which there should be a general discussion, Tilt TlttBt k proposes to present each day one or more expressions on this subject by leading eitistus, A cordial invitation is extended to all who have opinions iu the premises to state them briefly, for which purpose our columns are most cordially thrown open. The lirst Scrantouiau to grant an authorize! interview on this question w Mayor William L Connell, His views are a follows: "1 am iu favor of the city owning its own elect'ic light plant. As regards, however. th pro position made bv the Scranton Light, Meat and Power company to the city there are several dttailj to b looked into. Weshoul 1 lirst know accurately whether or uot the coat of maintaining our own plant would be Use tbau the present rental imid by the city for light mg purposes It would, therefore, neces sitate the employment of an expert electrician to go over the plant care fully and make a report a to its de sirability. We would also require a statement from the Scranton Light, Hsat and I'owsr company as to the cost of maintenance for the entire plant. If, after careful investigation, it would seem to be a measure of economy for the city to operate its owu lighting station, it would be uecessary to go be fore) tbe people and secure their ap proval for the bonding of the city to raise money for this improvement." - Lufio KuSKUKiiY tuay occasionally be Indiscreet in his speeches; but it wiil take something more than an unan tnenticated cable rumor to make bis friends believe him capable of so glar ing a political Indiscretion as an en gagement with a princess of the reign itig lory family. . THE REAL TROUBLE. Commenting upon the rscotit scoring given by Judge Edwards to the defec tive-eyel constabulary of Lackawanna couuty the Wilkes-Barre Record says very truly "It is a notorious fact that tbe liquor law Is violated iu nearly every city, town and borough in tbe stat, and yet the men whose duty it is to rep irt these violations completely and contemptuously ignore that duty. Right here in this city, under the shadow of the court hous--, the law is violated every Sunday In the year with perfect impunity. It is only natural to presume that what goes on iu Wilkes-1 1 i.- and Pittiton goes on in other localities. And yet these sapient constables deliberately close their eyes to these violations of the law and have the temerity to come into court and sndeaTOf lo close theeyai of the judge also. The whole constable system is a miserable failure in this leaped and the people are heartily sick und tired of it. " Much tbe worst feature of this ays teiu is that It encourage violations of the law In rural localities where the agencies of law enforcement aa a rule are primitive and inadequate. In the large cities, Inw and order leagues, mlnisteral associations, and a Hsnti meiit of law observance spurred on by numerous, agendo of progresr and re form combine to render violators of the law mora or less clroumipsct, Hut in the little boroughs und towns, an 1 es pecially iu tbe townships, when tbe constable fail to do their duly, the Whole machinery of justice falls apart and It. dividual OltilSUI have little or no io drees Tbe wliolo amouut of it is that Hie liquor power is getting too couvplcu ou in politics, and nee Is to be taught a lesson. Men who engage In the man ufacture or sale of Intoxicants should be content to pursue their owu bmi DSSS as a business, ami should not Seek, by combination and varied nrtifljei, to exert a controlling iiillueuce in purely political affair. We in thi section of the atate have n I lit liquor clement do rather more than Ita customary amount of interfering with the prima rive and the convention". It h is In come so common a sight that when any citizen protests against it, be is de nominated a purist or a crank nnd promptly laughed down, a this ta in tier we have failed to keep abreast of the general aentiuint which is neon initiating against liquor-soaked politics But some of the ihrjirder brewers and retailer themselves have scented the coming storm aud, like the Reichards, of Wilkos-Barre, and the Wlno aud Spirit Dealers' Gazette in New York, they hare lifted a warning voice against tbe neglect of the saloou business for politics, or the unking of politics a sa loon business.
