Cheap Street Cleaning.
The city of Troy. N. Y., llko the city
of Scranton, sweep its streets grand
mother fahion. The rnnulta there, hs
well as here, are unsatisfactory. The
Citizn8' association, a non-prtliau
organization of progressive Trojans
formed for the purnoen of keepinir an
eye ou municipal nlfairn, recently in
structed its Moratory to procure data
from othor cities showing the relative
coils of mnchino and hand strout
swopping. Tho result of his investiga--tion
appears in the Iroy Times, and
from that excellent paper we compile
the facts that follow
Kyracnso cleans tho paved utroots, stone,
brick aud asphalt, with street sweeping
niachiiios only, at a eo.-.t of 11.75 a mile for
sweeping machine work and 18.78 u mile
for labor and touuiF, cleaning and taking
sweepings from the gutt-T. For stone
mid brick pavements tho authorities pre
fer tiio sweeping machines. Asphalt pave
ments. In their Judgment, can bo made to
look cleaner by hum I labor and day Vork,
at a cost of aboat $8.80 to i?!i a mile. In
Buffalo the Streets aro cleaned by conlrnct
and asphalt, stone and brick aro swept
with horse mni'liiues. On asphalt streets,
When cleaned by private contract, ma
chines aro not usd. Tbn price runs from
ton to fifteen osntl a foot Irout, the latter
figure usually covering tho opening of glit
ters and removing of snow from tho
sidewalks during the winter. In the con
tract for street cleaning, asphalt is swept
snd dirt removed in diltriotl for forty
rivo cents a square of 10,000 square feet
and in two iliftrictn for tuirty-two
ceols for the samo area. In tho sis dis
tricts the aaphalt is swept by machines,
While in the two districts, at a lower con
lrnct tignre, hard work is sometimts done,
but the machine work is thought to be at
lenst !J" per cent, cheaper. The cost of tiie
m Whines varies, rucuiugfrom $')";!) to .:'3U0.
Toledo, Ohio, sweeps its streets with a
Street sweeper and pays 12 a mile and i
a mile for sprinkling. The sweepers cot
1300 each and give good satisfaction. Col
umbus. Ohio, uses machines ia sweeping
all the paved streets. There aro about
ninety miles of paved streets in the city,
and the machine is the less expensive of
ti e tWO. Chicago's Stireataaie being clean
ed by contract at $17 a mile. This clean
ing c )Vers from cur!) to curb ou paved
streets, and is donn partly by machines and
partly by hand, tho machines doing the
sweeping ana thy men picking up into
Wagons provided by tho contractor. At
rH. Louis fifty-live miles of grnuite, wood
block ami asphaltum streets aro cleaned
by machinery under contract. It costs
about 1,100 per annum to clean these
streets, on an averagi of three times a
week. The macadam and telford streets
aro cjeaned by hand, and the appro
priation is 1190,900 per annum for
miles of streets. Tho cost of
cleaning streets by hand is tares or four
times greater than cleaning by machinery.
The machines used in sweeping tho streets
ol Washington cost ftB,400 each. The ma
chines are u-cd tu sweep all classes of
paved street-', iisphnli, block and cobble
stone. The work done is perfectly satis
factory. The estimated difference in tho
cost between machine nnd hand labor is at
least 50 per cent, in favor of tho machine
work. At Indianapolis the streets aro
cleaned entirely by machinery. This work
is all done at night, ill any of the streets
are cleaned nightly; others aro cleaned
three or four times a week. The price per
front foot for doing this work, accouliug
to the width an I location of the streets,
runs from 3 to 83 cents on each side of the
utreot. The cities of Cincinnati and Mil
waukee own their own machines and
other appliances, hire their own men and
do their own work at a cost to tho city of
Cincinnati of 10.40 a mile each time of
cleauing. This lnclndos moving the dirt
and sweopiug and sprinkling.
Just this time it will probably be
argued that street cleanins; by hand is
tho most desirable in Scranton, became
of the greater employment it affords to
men who would otherwise be out of
work. While that argument might be
respected now, it will uot hold valid al
ways. The bad condition of maoy of
our streets today indicates tho neces
sity either of greater expenditures on
tha street commissioner's department
or else the employment or the present
appropriations to better advantage. If
1 of tho public's money, when invested
in street sweeping machines, could do
the work of f2 as invested at present, it
will ba merely a qnestion of time when
the machines will come and the "boso
brigade" go. Meanwhile, it remains to
bediscovered whether such an economy
is possible; and the foregoing testimony
is offered for what it is worth.
Chairman Stranaiian should not

The pending movement in this com

of ihj Suuday ob8rvanco law of 1794

requested to reprint the exact text of
that statute. It is as follows:

of the Pennsylvania liciusa of rprusen
taMres before th S'ate Sabtiatn con
vtnilon, asld; "It is as bread and
liber.il as if it had been written within
an hour." Do tho ptoplo of northeast
ern Pennsylvania agree with their
governor on this point? Are they satis
fied with a law that, by prohibiting
"any diversion whatsoever'" which
may have b, on deemed "unlawful" ac
cording to ruritanicil standards, on
the thy commonly called Sunday
puts in the hands of not always
discreet or prudent men a weapon that
may, nt any time, operate to prevent
Sunday pleasure walks, came the ar

health on that day' and subject to B
petty iierdeeutiou those approhendod in
other minor pasliino3 which, uowadays
regarded harmless in themselves, work
also no hivrm to the community, and
are, in this liberal ngo, accepted as tol
erable aud desirable by the coiiconsus
of reputable opinion?
Do not misunderstand us In object
ing to the musty statute of an obsolete
generation we are not otjtctlng to a
wise and even rigid observance of Sun
day. Oar poiitiou with regard to the
functions of the state toward the
weekly day of rest is that it rests npon
a civil, rather than a religious, basis.
The state is obligated to respect tho
wishes and the interests of the major
ity of Its citizens who wish the day
called Sunday to bo kept quiet.
It cannot go nnd it should not
go into fine questions of con

chinery of the stats !o make other men

Uncle Sam as an Employer.
Tho latest suggestion in tho railway
World emanates from Popnlistic
sources, and v.-.is formulated at the rtt
cnt Washington conference of tha Bi
metallic league by Colonel Fiske, of
Denver. The colon"! wants tho gov
ernment to issne SI W, 000, 000 of non
interest trensnry notes of small denom
inations, to pay for the construction of
a federal railroad from Pittsburg to
Kan Francisco and, later, of one from
Pittsburg to New Orleans. This, he
opines, would relieves existing distress
and likewise put into tho people's con
trol two important nvenues of trans
portation and travel.
A point not n cl""' is how such a
eours would affect tho interests of the
existing trans continental railways, in
which millions of dollars of American
money, mnciiofit the savings of men
who labor, is now invested ; and on
whioh thousands of families are di
rectly dependent for support. It like
wise does not explain where the wealth
that the people would invest in such
additional lines would get its proper
ana roasonaolo rotnrn, inasmuch as
nearly evory ono of the existing
largo transcontinental systems is
now heavily mortgagad , bankrupt,
non-productive of interest oharges
and in receivers' hands. These,
no dnnbt, are minor points which
present no noteworthy obstacles to
the mercurial Popnlistic mind; but
they neverthelss are items that the
prudent capitalist, when asked to in
vest his cash, would ponder with the
ntraost seriousness. If it be the gov
ernment's function to act di
rectly as the employer of idle labor,
merely because that labor U rile, a
more promising course would be to
open a pension (flice for the grand
army of the unemployed nnd keep each
worlcless citizen supplied daily with
money, clothing and food. This would
free the government of tho vexatious
control of two hopeless railway "white
elephant" investments and give it the
opportunity, us soon ns times brighten,
to release itself from an entangling al
liance. Upon the whole, the scheme of Gen
eral Coxey, much as that worthy bas
heen recently derided, commends itself
as preferable to this suggestion of Col
onel Fiske. The C ixey plan would at
last invest the nation's ulouey iu some
thing of lasting value. The country
neens good wagon rosds much more
earnestly than it needs multiplied lines
of bankrupt steam railways. And if
the problem of their construction eould
be gope at with anything like prudent
energy, under local auspices, tho cen
tral idea in this spasm of tho common
wnalers would not perish undor a surfeit
of silly billvismnnd vapid rhetoric. The
difficulty all traces back to a false con
ception of the real functions of gov
ernment; nnd particularly to the al
luring delusion that when individual
thrift,energy and pirsistonce fail, in the
strngglo for existence, it Is the dnty of
the political mechanism culled govern
ment to usurp the place of personal
charity nnd non political philanthropy.
New York business men talk of
holding an immense mass meeting in
the Metropolitan Opora hense to form
ally denounce the proposed income tax.
Such a meeting wonld be interesting
but it would not be effective. It was
the business element in Now York city
which renominated Grover Cleveland
at Chicago and made possible an ad
ministration by which this scheme of
northern spoliation is mircileisly ad
vanced. Their repudiation of the bar
gain possesses ponitentlnl significance,
but it will not tend to divert theresnr
rected slave-driving southern Demoo
nicy from their proposed revenge. Now
York business men should have thought
of these things before.

somo thing about them that cork
screwed its way into I he funny bump

Sunbnry, subsequent to that memor
able march across tho bridge nt mid

sea
There bog been curi isity since 1m. t
Wednesday to know what became ol
those sho s. The fact of the mutter is
that Drother Flelt,who in some thints
is inclined to he superstitions, has con
nected their ghastly effulgence with
the untimely death of tho lum-nted
Jack Hobiiisen boom, and bas decided
to eliminate them from Pennsylvania
politics. In reality, Mr. Fleitl was
disappointed at the outcome of the con
vention. While not seriously expecting
tho Molia congressman to win, ho
somehow clung to tho possibility of a
compromise adjustment whereby his
hard and effective missionary labor iu
the anthracite counties would not be
rendered utterly futile. It is only fair
to remark that Fred Fleitz in this re
cent preliminary Campaign proved him
self n worker, from tiie tloor np. The
mannor in which ho pulled several al
most hopeless delegate prim tries
around for Robinson inLuterne, Tioga
and neighboring counties evinced not
only a great deal of executive anility,
but nlao a great deal of courage. Fred's
greatest mistake wis In driving his
talent to the wrong market.
Speaking of politics, it is curious to
note some of the complications that are
arising. Take Loairnr, for Ihetajnoe.
There is the WtlhetDarre Record, or-
(llnariy a cautious newspaper, per
mitting the reorganized Tunes (o an
chor ilself fairly iu the Republican
column mon tho strength of iis own
taotlcal blunder in trying to corral the
congressional nomination for Morgan
ii. Williams, priur to the nominating
convention tbrongh the publication of
serious insinuations against the other
aspirants. Tho Tinus repels these
tfforts at innuendo and naturally in
slets that whatever personal prefer
ences its pnblishets may have, it is for
the convention to do the nominating.
Four years ago the Record did the
same thing toward Georga V. Shook
aud thereby created needless enmities
in advance of tho nomination. These
things nil count, in tho aggregate. The
Times, if it be adroit, will score a not
able point by insisting, as The TRIBUNE
insists heroin Lukiwanna, that the
columns of a newspaper are not, at
least under ordi mry circumstances,
the prop r place in which to perform
the dtitios of a county convention; and
that tho people themselves nro usually
well qualified to choose such candidatte
as thoy may desire without the prior
aid of uewspaper dictation.
One thing nt least is certain. The
Record's Is not the proper temper in
which to face the responsibilities of
of next fall's campaign. It is at this
time more than probable that John
Leisenriug will be Hilly Hines' oppo
nent. Do has the support of four leg
islative districts against two that may
he divided between Morgan D.Will
iams and th field. These will nomi
nate him, unless surprising changes
should occur between this and county
convention day. If he bo nominated,
tho inference to bo derived from tho
Record's erratfo talk is that it will
sulk. Is that the way to defeat a Dem
ocrat and redeem a free trade congress
district? Is it the right spirit iu which
to go before Republican convention,
asking its consent to another candi
dacy? Mr. Williams is an excellent
gentleman, wealthy, public spirited
nnd liberal. So, too, is Mr. Lvteenrlng.
Tho liooord is not commissioned by
th Republican party to choose be
twoen them. The nominating con
vention will do that. And whlohever
s chosen, he w!l have fair olaim to
the other's loyal support. Mugwump
threats will be poor inducements to
party favor.
