Tue Wh.kes-Bakhk Nowb-Dealer would not Jiscbarfio from its employ a ennoble nsiistant who hail during two (lecndea worked faithfully for its inter ests merely becnuie its managing edi tor might undergo a political ehauge of faith. What, then, does it mean by its assault upon Peter Winter? Pave Mulberry Street. The current talk of endeavoring to aecuro the conseut of a sufficient num ber of property owners along Mulberry street to insure its paving with as phalt along its entire length has been inspired doubtless by the reoent plac ing of pulverized slag upon portions of this roadway. The further fact, too, that with the completion of the new boulevard travel upon the street will be largely increased may have had its in fluence tition the agitation for a suit nHo and durablo paving, lie this ns it may, the suggestion is a good one, in line with the progress everywhere manifesting itself in this community; And should the idea assume practical ihapo, it will unquestionably receive much earnest support. As the one cross-town thoroughfare with grades adapted to asphalt and also with travel and prospects justifying increased attention, Mulberry street offers a particularly Inviting fluid for a paving rsform agitation. Already land for building purposes at Its upper eitremity is rising rapidly in value; and with a clean new pavement offer ing additional inducements to home seekers, property values along Mul berry ought to respond readily to any investment in the form of pave assess ment. Business, too, iM pushing stead ily toward thieetreet; in a few years, at its present pace, the commercial area will have eugultvd much of that portion of Mulberry which lies between Washington and Jefferson avenues. The effect of this unmistakable gravitation upon realty values has already become palpable, in the form of increased rents and ap preciated prices for title transfers It would be vastly accelerate 1 )y a mol ern paving which should make of this beautiful street a driveway compara ble with Washington avenue to North Park, and, when the boulevard exten sion is opened, its superior. fiitiment nowadays plays little pari in determining the fate of municipal improvements. Tnerefore we have re stricted ourselves to the practical, dol-lar-and-cent view of the case. But if any person will take the trouble one of these beautiful May mornings to walk or drive out Mulberry along the path of the boulevard to the southern extremity of what, let us trust, will soon be Nay Aug park, and view the myriad beauties of renascent nature as r fleeted In growing grass and leaf and flower, each irinti ilant with the spar kle of the dew and fragrant with the healing odors of spring, one aspect of this project will present itself which may not be particularly "practical." lot which certainlv is not unpleasant. An asphalt pave on Mulberry street wonld be a pnbllc benefaction if it would contribute to the luring of our tired citizens, morning or evening, away from the feverinh and suffocating air of the city out into the glorious open, where bird soug and wild 11 wer unite with bine sky and water fall in preaching a soothing and helpful r inon on peace and good will. AKMQ I i.e. allowance for unusual provocation, an exhibition of temper such as that made at yesterday's base ball gam by one of the Hazleton ont fieldera deserved the swift censure it received from the audience, nmplre and fellow-players. While in nnirorm ballplayers must act like gentlemen, even if some of them occassioually find it Impossible to continue the practice indefinitely. The Occultation of Coxey. Whon one has been lifted aloft into the blue expanse of infinite aether and there pinioned by the fond wings of hope, it must be distressing to get nd- Jenly thrown down with what used to be called a dull, sickening thud. This articnlar kind of high flying doos not asimilate with tho humblo editorial function; and we nre. therefore, unable to speak from experience. But looking at the case abstractly, throwing upon it, as. one may say, tho calcium light of logic, reason and probability such a drop, we are prone to conclude, must be a drop too much. imagine, then, tho sensations of James tiltoher Coxey; ploture, ye who can, the profnndity of his regret gauge the depth of bis chagrin and compute the awful volume of his de spair wnen, having sot out to muss 300,000 indignant Americans before the globular splendor of the great whit dome thnt surmounts the capltol of tblf peerless Kennblio, having de termined, Ilka Hobart Toombs, to call tha roll of his imperial peace army not, to ba sure, about .Bunker Hill monu ment, but In an oven more daring place, in tho very shadow of the aegis of our national liberties, bo awoke to find at hi back not 300,000, but 1)00; and in stead of ohaplets of laurel with fillets of myrtle got clubs of the muscular grip of locust in policemen of Coxey in blue. The occultation was cruel and unkind. It curdles the milk of human kindness and fouls the well-spriugs of human confidence. But while our hearts bleed our minds approve. There was no other thing to do. Citizen Coxey, no doubt, la a bero, a philanthropist and a sage. We, in this vulgar ago, probably do not recog nize tha massiva merit which lurks be neath bis flannel shirt, nor value at its true worth the priceless Hindis of his great, kind baart. For alt this, we Jure aay, we tball have to answer before the augnst tribunal of coming centuries. We quake and we tremble when wo think of the rlBk we run. But all that is for the future. It is still a truth, even though Citizen Coxey doesn't know it, that we live in what Mr. Longfellow called the living pres ent It it a good time to live in ; prob ably the best time, all things consid ered, that a live man could choose. One of the requirements of this present is the maintenance of law and ordor, Perhaps, tbia is a crude and a needless instance. Possibly we, in this age, overestimate the need of sense and ballast. But facts are facts, and'have, in real life, to be accepted as such. Even Coxey will confess that ho has lately learned this fact. Had ho recog nised that same fact sooner, his oc cupation would have beeu less im pressive but more lenient. Thus, always, with cranks 1 v Keep an eye on Tom Stewart. No better choice for the senatorial seat advocated by Senator Stockbridge's sudden donth eould bo made by the governor of Michigan than Julius 0. Burrows. His fame as a protectionist statesman is international, lie would bring into the senate a reputation al ready made and a facility in all the various forms of political warfare won during vcars of active and militant leadership in the lower house. As to tho Viaduct. It is not to be gainsaid that tho prin ciple laid down in Judge Archbald's or der revoking tho appointment of view era in connection with the proposed West Lackawauua avenue viaduct is a sound one, much as It may, in this par titular application, disappoint those who had looked upon the viaduct pro jeot with favor. In common sense, ns well as in law, t tie right to appoint viewers clothed with the power of in vading property, interrogating its owuors and assessing damages f, , which the only rocoiirae is through an appeal to court preauppoaes, on the part of tho city, tho existence of a seri ous and definite intent to use this right for the advantage lot the general v '. fare. To mako the application of this right depend upon an Indefinite and uncertain purpose would be verv ob viously to invite OOnfOslofl and create just complaint from citizen whose property should be thus lightly jiggled. A applUd to the immediate ca in hand. Judge Archbald's rnling.ln plain words, means that until the city, through it councils, is willing to make a definite and genuine step toward au thorizing the construction of the via duct, it cannot experiment by the aid of viewers When it has pissed a specific ordinance, viewers may let ap pointed an 1 their report either accept d or rejected within thirty days after its presentation. If accepted, well and good, If rejected, the utmost harm that would have been I'one would lie the fruitless costs incurred But the en actment of such an ordinance is an in dispensable preliminary, for without it viewers w nld view to no puipuaa and have no excuse for returning a re port. Although the court, speaking unof ficially, recognized the necessity of the viadnct and expressed a hope that nothing would seriously stand in the wsy of its speedy coinpleti n. It is probably true, aa a cold matter of fact, that, for the present at Uast, the via duct project has boon rendered a vain hope The question of damages he 1 not, nutil rsenntly, received particular attention , yet it is OM which must play a large, if not a fatal, part II dntsrm ining the project's future. With the city obligated to build a new Pridg at landed street, there is likely soon to be leta need than at present for the via dnct at West I.ickawatina avenue, and it Is clearly among th possibilities that the latter pn j'ct may not agalu be iftlclally revived Many citizens will no doubt regret this, but the issue is purely a business oue of value and cost, and opiuioii seems to be gaining ground that the total cost of a viaduct at this time, every item Included, would much exceed the value returned to the public s DIANA MA-- long had the reputation of Inning out the toughest crop of Democratic senatorial timber to be found in any of the western legislative swamps and bogs; and the exhibition made by Senator Turpie Monday fully sustains this unenviable claim Had such a torrent of inebriated billiugagate poured from the lips of Turpie'e col lesguo it would have been attributed at once to that class of personal exhibi tions which Mr Ingallt, of Kansas, once designated as the Work of a man "drunk nnd disotderly." There is rea son to fear that Mr, Turpie will have considerable difficulty in clearing him solf from tho suspicion cf having beeu loaded with the same wst wespous. e One Remedy for Lynching. Judge Tourgee baa drafted for intro duction in tho Ohio legislature a bill which promises to put u new phase on the lynching Industry. The bill pro vides that the legal heirs of any person killed by a lynching party In bio shall recover from the county where the lynching occurs the sum of $15,000; in case suob person is only injured ho shall recover from tbo county the sum of $15,000, and every person found guilty of participating in such affairs is to be sent to tho Ohio penitentiary for a term not less I ban three or more than twenty years, i he sum recover ed again -t such counties shall be taxed in the first tax levy made by the board of county eommissionurs and remain a lien upon the property of the county until paid. In order to secure proper prosecution In such cases, the attorney general is authorized and directed to appear in behalf of the heirs of the person so lynched or injured by lynchers This measure has received tha warm approval of Uovernor Mckinley and is expected to pass the presont legislative gpHiion. Something of a similar na tnra shonld be formulated in our own commonwealth. The recovery by heira of a monetary damage would perhaps not be the most logical antidote for a mistake by an impetnous mob; par ticularly If an innocent man ahould be killed before his innocence was dis covered. But it wonld be better thau nothing, nnd it might operate at a dampener to vigilante fervor. The knowledge that a lynohing wonld tap the pocket hooka of tha lyuohers, aa well as subject them to the penalty of long imprlBOtimsnt, would have a de terrent influence certainly not exer cised by any law now on our statuto book. In this connection, it is interesting to note the sense of shame which inevi tably develops in a community that has lent itself to the perpetrutlou of an unauthorized banging, Illustrated in the sensitiveuesa of certain Strouds burg citizens at references to the lynch ing of Puryear. Only yesterday Tun Tribune reoeived from some kind Stroudsburg friend a clipping detail ing a lynching in Texas, to which was appointed the query : "Why don't you blame this on StrondsbnrgV" We are not aware of having in any wise over stated the truth respecting Monroe county's recent crime. The sarcasm, therefore, was lost npon ns. But we are glad if the publicity incident to such a crime has beeu tho moans of re calling the citizetiH of Monroe county to their aobor senses. They will be the ultimate gainers in consequence of this pressnt sensitiveness. ALTHOUGH TUnta are hard and freight business dull, the Pennsylvania Kail road company goes right on declaring "i per cent, quarterly divideuda just as if nothing had happened.

No creel was large enough to bold it and it was lugged to camp like a shad. As soon as convenient it was opened and cleaned mi l tho first thing taken out was a spring ohlcken.

Bnt there it was, a small chicken, Evory one of the party saw it and now have a new poititer about bait." The Leader gen erously explains that tha narrators have a little modesty lu relating the tale, feeling that it would be classed with other remarkable legends that come within the province of the fuhernian, bnt all of them earnestly state that this is a true fish story, which of course, ii to be taken cum grano calls. e According to latest reports tho hon orable William Henri Hinea is cavart i tig up and down the corridors of time objurgating Postmaster-Oeneral Bis sell In language more expresatve than elegant, One of the appellation ap plied to Mr. Blssell is that of "an old duller," whom Mr. Him says ha will see in Halifax, or soma other place equally remote before ho, which is to say Hinea, will go to him again for a political favor.

Hi If the people of Luzerne county are a trifle proud of their witty after din ner speakers, who can blame them?

Cer tainly those who have had tbe pleasure of listening to Judge Woodward on oc casions in tbo past, have stored away tho pleasantest memories of his happy stories and genial speeches.
