BCBANTOK, AI'ML "ii. 1801
One of the amusing features of the
passion hour is the battle of ri v;il re
alty Interests over the location of the
new Bwetland street bridge. It is a
:oiitest by which tho public is more en
tertained thnu agitated.
Cosl of the Coal Strike.
President BIcBrlde, of tho United
Mine Workers of America, is quoted
in a current interview us having said
that within two weeks the 180,000 mi
tbruirite miners of Pennsylvania will
have joined in the big coil strike. Mr.
McUrnle lias probably been misunder
stood, lie can scuic ly have made the
reuiurk attributed to aim; or, if lie did,
It moat have no- n without reflsctioa
and at total variance with the truth.
No sue i Intention is held by t lie an
thracite miners. They luivo better
sense.
In this general connection it is uot
uninteresting to recall some pertinent
Bgnres relating to t tie recent big strike
of coal minera in England; that mas
slTe labor biitllo in the peaceful settlv
inent of winch the e.irl of ltcsebtry,
not yet prime minister, bore such a
creditable and successful pxrt. This
Interruption of tho processes of mining,
transportation and manufacturing,
lasted altogether sixteen weeks. The
normal i Utput of coal during this time
fell from 88,000, 000 to 89,000,000 tons.
The miners surrendered 134,000,000 la
wage, in round numbers; the iron
work-rs lost 118,200.000; factory and
workshop bauds, through involuntary
Idleness due to lack of fuel, sutreuUered
$15, $40. 000, and other losses inoreaes
the total to 01,040,000 This item, it
unoulil I" undi rstuod, rfers solely to
wages. Then were Othtt neros of loss.
The total loss of net profits, divided
auio''g bund teds of induatn-s, h is been
const-rv iiiveiv saiimated at 108,878,078,
while, owing to ttie Increaae i nee oi
cost oi c tsioned by the strike, another
Item oi Iota is anpplie 1 amounting to
p - 18 000
ilerr, then, wj have an gfgrsgst
money loss to the popt f Great
Britain txeeedtng $160,000 000 aa the
rsul of six n weeks' suspension ol
the cosl mining industry. The com
potation is a r ngb one ani omits to
tske into account the decline in Tallies
Inevitably due to any general conges
tion oi i'ldiutrial activitis; or the un
avoidable friotions, jealousies an I ill
feeling which lie in the wake of ev-ry
litter dift rencs between employers an '
imployed. Hut this amaslng loss was
confined to a em ill country scarcely
larger 'ban the combined areas ol
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana un l Illi
nois, What would be the result of u
corresponding tte-up of the industries
of t!i- United states, coming at the
Diomt-nt when long buslaeai depres
sion bad begun to show signs of lift
ing, but when the country was not yet
fnirly convelrscentt Uimn whom
would such an incalculably ruinous
and Lurtfui blow fall witn greatest
heaviness, upon th rich or npm the
poor upon the euiphiyers or upon the
smpli yed loget er with their wives
end children)
The bitnuiaions minera of our conn
try are sincerely to be pitied; first, oe-cau-e
of tn t rn trend of trade wnre
by their wag-a have b en torcel down
below a fair tnirgin of a leqa ite com
pensation; and secondly, DecBBSS in the
attempt to right this acminnlsting
economic wrong they have chosen a
time when for evsry penny that they
wr.st from their opponents they will

It is a REPROACH ip-jti the American
people that for years tney permitted
deepoilen of their for- s:s to waits
regnlnrly every year more timber In the
form of bushes, limbs uud high stumps
than tiiey ns to-dav Put thll evil Is
slowly Hiring Itself, thanks to in
aroasol pabllo sentiment it ought to
lie an equal reproach up n us to know
that in too extravagant uiisgoveruuieut
of oar large American cities we iqu in -dor
more- money eac.i year than would
be needol to conduct many municipal
governments of equal aizt in derided
Europe.
Congress and tin; Press.
It is unfortunate that the pending
postoflice bill curries with it an amend
ment a increusing the postage on reg
ular serial issues of books in parts aa
virtually to prohibit the cheap popular
literature disseminated by means of
standard "libraries." Tho nin"iiiliiii-nt
raises the postage on this kind of pub
lleatious from the low pound rate now
in vogue to the costly third-class rate;
mid applies aa directly to ch-p re
prints of standard works and creditn
H t ni u ar issues ol scientific, literary
or technical works as it does to the
lurid yellow-covered novel or uiekal
"shocker" a:; i, list which it was espe
cially directed
While it is desirable to have good
booKs command n good appreciation at
prices consistent with good mechanical
as well ns literary workmanship, it is
indisputable that cheap popular re
prints and standard literature' have
done more to educate the great mass of
our citizons tbnn any other agency
outside the Hchool room or tho nows
jiaper press. The fact that a play by
tSbakespsare or an essay by Addison
finds widespread favor when issued in
a neat pamphlet form and sold at re
tail for two or three cents, is a salis'uu
tory ofTsst to all the harm dono by the
ebnse of this low postage privilege u
Illustrated in the' general vogue of
blood-and-tlinnder flash libraries.
There is no demand today for tb
suppression through postal enactment
of objectiouahi literature. The people
of this free country are us abundantly
qunlilied to choose their own intellect-

Banish the Ballot Thieves.
The recent conviction in Carbon

mitted while Serving upon election
boatds won for t bum. Mining ether
thiugs, a sentence of temp n ury dis
franchisement. This recall vividly to
mind the srticls which Representative
tlaliisha A (irow not long ago pro
posed for incorporation in the new
constitution of New York state, to h
formulated by the constitutional con
vention which will assemble at Albany
next month. We alluded to the sub
ject at tho time, but deem it Wi rthy of
a second reference in the light of num
erous later developments in the art of

Business-liko Methods.
Philsdslpbls an i Berlin are cltins of
almost equal size in 1 well typify the
best feamrea of the municipal progress
of their respective countries. Any com
parisons that may be drawn between
theffl SW essentially coni sris 'ns be
tween our entire American thnrv of
municipal g ov trntu ut, as Illustrated In
practice, and that which obtains among
the pooplo of Germany. A letter from
a Berlin correspondent of nn American
newspaper detailing methods of street
cleaning iu the German capital lies be
fore us. Its facts tiro doubly Interest
ing to Scruntonians, whose streets, if
clcaiiod at nil, rarely during the home
of business give any evidence of the
fact.
The entiro business of street clean
ing in Merlin is committed to an ex
pert corps of skilled workmen whos
"plucos" aro permanent during good
behavior and whose pay is con litioned
npon the value of tho servic p-r-formed.
Ten, fifteou or thirty years of
continuous service entitles tho work
man to retire on a life peiiBinn, which
increases with the recipient's period of
faithful service. A generul manager
conducts the department, but every
section of the city haa its overseer and
subordinate foroe, who are held rigidly
responsible for results and who suldom
fail to produce results that eun bear
scrutiny. Every uight at midnight the
city is scrubbed as carefully as if It
were a kitchen floor. Tne refuse is de
posited in tall iron boxjs distributed
along tho streets, and soon oarted uway
iu closed wagons. It ia tho testimony
of all who have visit d Berlin that even
after severe r.ins the streets are s-
olean and fr.-e from inn I as the marble
c Ur I yards of the city's palaces. Y
