Mt the house committee on judiciary,
thottld by an almost, unanlmont rote,
decline at this Ute day to reopen the
qneetion. While the overwhelming
majority of American are deists,
nnd believe in the exlateaci of on
hnprerne being, all wise, all power

those who deny thU faith anl
vfco even push their doubt to the
point of organiz;d resistance. A com
plete divorcem;nt ofchnrh from state
and an imoartisl applioatlou of liberty
of contcience reqnlrea that no creed be
either recogniztd or offended in onr
federal charter. To discriminate
against atheists and agnostic i no
part of the misuon of a free govern
ment, any more than it is to dis
criminate against Cathollei, or
Protectants, or Jews, or Gentilee.
Pop Gun Tactics.
Sensationalism it one form of journal
istic evil that has pretty generally
fallen Into dispute among intelligent
readers. But there i a kindred offence
that is ret too prevalent. It consists of
publishing broadcast articles in which
the facts themielvea may be accurate
enough, but which are of such a uaturu
as to give thy emu tl distant reader
false impressions. It is a faot, for in
stance, that a certain looal attorney re
cntly brought harmful insinuations
to bear upou the deputy prothouotary.
It is also a fact thut the latter official
promptly entered a ditclaimer. And it
is a further fact that the president
jndge of tbia county, knowing the cir
cumstances and the two men, promptly
rebuked tbe attorney, threw his charges
out of court nnd thereby vindicated the
attorney's victim
But it was not a fact, although
tptoial dispatches In certain metropoli
tan journal might lead distant readers
to infer, that thete insinuations bad
any particular lignificance. Un
dents of Lackawanna oouuty, knowing
the predileotion which the attorney iu
point evinces for aneartbing mythical
mare's neBts, would understand just
how to interpret this incident and
how to give it the requisite discount.
Tbe people of Philadelphia and New
York, however, as well us those through'
ont tbe state, lack this inside inform i-
tion, and are rendered liable by such
partial presentations of the case, to
jump hastily to a conclusion which
does Mr. Khsiou, individually, and
through him, the reputation of the en
tire couuty and community, a gross
injustice
While it is possible that tbe Intelli
gence and morality of our local courts
have not iu all instances exhausted the
possibilities of Improvement and ra
form, they are the ouly courts that wo
have, and we should bo foolish to de
fame them undeservedly. One erratic
or ill-dlgBStad accusation calculated to
bring them iuto contempt don much
more to perpatuito existing faults than
it does to hasten tho collection of real
wile. If there le any substantial proof
of irregularity or dereliction iu the
processes of these ooart, it should be
used with an honest view to promote
thecoiumou welfare, rather thuu to
create merely a transient sensation, In
spin prrjudlaa or bafog a shaky esse
It is undoubtedly the general btltoj
that Judge Arohbald dealt leuieutly
with the author of this latest episode
when he simply refined to take olllcial
oognitanaa of it.
.
TUB WlUiits Bauuk Newe-l'ealor
tliluks those nine opinlous of the su
preme court last Monday sustaining
earlier findings iu this oouuty indicate
that Lackawanna's judges "know the
law." Tins compliment is as true as it
is graceful Daly considering Lcka
wanna's youth and madesty. It may
reasonably bo doubted if any other
county iu the commonwealth has auy
aider or fairer judges. But we shall
uever be quit suro of the supreme
court's work uir.il we can see on the
bench some one who know the tech
nicalities of mining litigation. There
are occasions nowadays when a rsver
sal by the supreme court does not carry
with it a reversal of coutideuce that
our owu j adgss at i right.
The Light Problem.
Tha need of detailed information a
to tho cost of a city electrical plaut
now-that the Question his been raised
in S.Tautou. is well illustrated in the
diaorananov between the estimate of
the electrical committee of Philadel
piia's couueils and that of Cbief
Walker, of the electrical bureau, of
thesaine city. Mr. Walker cilculated
that it wonld oost to establish an si-
peri men tal -UO-ligbt plant in Phila
delphia $100,510 The joint commit:,
which has just concluded an investi
gation of tun interesting rabjtol has
reported that such a plant could
not uu.ler ordinary circumstances be
built for less thin $331,783. Proceeding
upon this as a basis tue jjint committee
has decided adversely upon the propo
sition to establish a munieisal plant,
alleging that under municipal Control
each light would cost -43 16 cent per
night, whereas under tue existing
contract with the Bruh eompauy this
cost is otly 33 cents.
It will stride most obrrers tha',
this discrepancy of $131,933 between
estimate Is too large lo be honest.
Either the inquiry u;nn waish Mr
Walker fonniel his caloulatton has
been hurried an 1 Inadequate, or els
this must be taksn as true concerning
the joins committee's investigation.
Wbic :ever suppoution bi correct, it
is evideu: that if Scranton intend
to go into the electrical ;:!-. in
competition with privat enterprise,
there is need of much further and more
careful Itndy of the question than hss
yet been aeoorded to it. It should ob
viouily b an important publio benefit
that woul i ioduca this municipality to
arrogate to itielf iu any unusual man
ner the functions of private business;
ati i such benefit, if it b oiscerned at
nil. must rait nojn subitanti tl ground.
We cmnot all r 1 to 1st it ran upou
nny haphazird foundation of guess
work like that exhibited in this Phi la
delphU contention.
While Tils Triune has no desire to
prejudice this ditOOMion, it is simply
fair to the Scranton Light, Ileat and
P wer company to say that it offsr U
r: iedlv better t-r.ns than anovar In tha
. , -ww
to mm i pkiladelpbia joint oounollmanlo oom-
mitten's figuring. bare that commit
tee declines to pay $931,788 for a JO
Hgbt plant, our people would, for
about the same sum, get an $80 light
plant, In good working condition,
equipped with tho bst micbinery,
having over 100 miles of wire already
strung, successfully lighting iV) city
lamps and supplying In the neighbor
hood of Bio commercial patrons. And
ea would have to pay only .7j.0O(l
down, leaving the remaining $800,000
of indebtedness to rati. If desired, for
forty years Tbe system employed is
th Brush, generally conceded to lie the
best, arid the quality of the engines,
dynamos, machinery, etc , is rpr
ssnted by the company officials to be
very desirable.
Yet, ss we have said, all this may
not hsve any relevancy. If the city
could do better by building an entirely
new plant, it should not permit Mr.
Scranton' offer to stand lu Its way,
providsd It really proposes to go into
business for itself. Hhoul 1 It sdd the
funstion of business manager to its
other t nnetlons? Hhonld It compete, or
try to compete with Individual enter
prise? I Joes It anywhere appear that
it wonld gain enough in dollar and
cents to justify this fur-reaohlng ex
pertinent? Theto ere the question
now before the people anil uuw is thn
time for the diccnsslon to wax warm
Computing every phase of this loss, in
cluding tho reduced wages to triiiumeu
and the decreased opport unities of
profitable operation, Mr. Ashley esti
mates that it is equivalent to a yearly
loss of $300,000,000: or nearly one-half
the ordinary expense of the govern
ment. Mr. Ashley continues:
I'lie time Is not far distant whon people
will gaa with astonishment si tha de
slructive work of ii iMioi'.ar full iov. It

ttie companies bad vululy struggled. Is
there nothing taught by this lesson?
There are various ways of explaiulug
this decline, Part of it is due, lunvlta
My, to the gradual o.'cupatioiipby truuk
line systems of all territory coiumer
cially siwceptible of profitable occu
paucy. Some of it has been dm to
hostile state legislation, superluduoed
by the nare&SCtlre eagerness of agra
rian revolutlonltta to hit tv statut at
those who own railway, securities sole
ly for gambling purposes, regardless of
those who owu them by virtue of hon
est inteutiouj aud cquslly regardless ot
the hundreds of thousands of families
that gain livelihoods by them. Wo dare
say that the interstate commerce law
bus operated, in various directions, to
cripple railway enterprise and repress
railway development. All these things,
of COUrte, are wrong; but the railway
manager themselves are not wholly
innocent. (heater honesty, fidelity
and pru lenoe on their part, aud less
desire to startle the public by means of
theatrical coup, Napoleonic maneuver
aud speculative tableaux would have
made possible a much better showing.

property that are momentous In their
Kiguiflcatice, In 1887, 11,877 now miles
of railway were constructed. In 181)11
tlm number of new miles was below
2.000 and the decline has been a itrsd -mil
one. From 1887 to 18811. inclusive,
88,870 nsw miles were laid, 1111 av.-i.if.
of 8,172 miles per year. From 181)9 to
1898, inclusive, notwithstanding
uiurked advances In other luduitrlal
directions, tho Dew miles nrm itud
17,420, an average of only 4,357 miles;
or a yearly nvoriiRe decline of 8.81.1
