PUKLPd, iu a published In terview, brands u false that portion of TBI Ti;ntiTNi's article on Salurdsy wbich said tuat those who have bMB resisting the Sunday law of 17'JI nro poHod holding a meeting at which Jlayor Council's letter would be con Hidured. Mr. Pbvlpg is possibly under the delusion that he comprises the en tiro opposition to that law. What The TRIBUNE said was as true as was the information of the gentleman from whom the news whs obtained. This gonlleman, Mr. E. Mosns, is our au thority for t):o ussertiou that an in formal moating waa hold, as an nounced, Mr. Phelps to the contrary notwithstanding. Natural Questions. There is, when you come to think it ovu-r, a good deal of timeliiieas in the curiosity of the Washington Poet as to why it should take a month of costly civil war to bring the bituminoue coal operators nroand to a point where they were willing to make slight concessions to their men. Society, ithe Post thinks, "has a right to inquire whether the mob apirit which has presided over tho bitu minous tragedy Is due to the inherent wickedness of the ni9U or to eonie ab normal conditions of hardship and in justice brought to bear upon them. Society, finding the operators now ready to increase the wages of the miners, has n right to ask why the concession, since it is profitable now, was not marte before why these unhappy men wore allowed to go mad with suffering and discontent when it was in the power of tho operators to pacify them. If just ice advocates the concession now why has justico had to wait upon violence and tragedy and turmoil for a hear ing!" No doubt many of the men concerned in this strike are u hopelessly bad lot. No doubt some of them do not know the meaning of the word liberty, but instead interpret it to mean unlimited licenae. No doubt soma of them want to overstep the bounds of their juris diction as employes, and seek to dictate to their employers. Yet when all these things have been duly taken into ac count it 13 no less probable a faot that the obstinacy of certain operators has a good deal to answer for, also. It ia true in the anthracite region, and wo snspect it is equally trno in the bitum inous region, that when employes and employers come fairly and frankly to gether, talk with each other honestly and candidly, and treat each other like mon, the result is not war, neither is it bloodshed, murder nor arson; but, instead, peace and good will. Nobody knows how much this reoent strike oost. Some estimate the loss as high as $20,01)0,000; but whether this be under or above the real figures, it is evident that a groat percentage of this less is irrevocable. It came at a time of uncommon depression, and it cut into the low vitality of business like a virulent acid. Years will not aaiiice to heal some of tho scars it has left. Workmeu and operator haye both suf fered; tho former most poignantly, perhaps, but the latter not without a lusty consciousness of pain. There was no real need of a strike. As it looks now the whole episode was notoriously unnecessary. Why ahonld it have occurred? Why should the operators have permitted it to occur? Why Bhould there have beou such an es trangement between employes and employed as haa made these various successive strikes seem commonplace and habitual? Civilization must ausweT these ques tions. They will not answer tuem selvea. Luzerne Rei-uhlicans are organiz ing a county league, for the purpose of inciting additional interest and enthu siasm in the county campaign. Organ ization ia the key to victory, in politics aa woll as in business. Let tho good work continue. A Blow at Self Government. It has been charged by ortain apolo glstB for Murphyifiu in Troy that the election riot which culminated in the death of Robert Ross was inupirad, not bv political, but bysuctariau difference. The eloquent repudiation of this insin uation mado by Acting District Attor ney Pagan last Priday, in oponing the eu-.y of the state against "Bat" Sbea.de serves to bo committed to memory. After announcing that the etato ex pected to show that Shea and others liko him had been offered $25 apiece if they could get up a disturbance with the Ross boys and shoot them down ia cold blood, Mr. Pagan eaid: Tho great agonizing cry that went up from our city on .March 0 came not from Hubert Hois nor his grieving family, but from Hocioty. Tho bullet that killed Hoss Gtruck nt tho vitals of American institu tions. It struck at tho sttte ltsolf. A citizen who dnred dofend the ballot was shot down in cold blood by Shea. It Is for that reason he is here upon trial today, nnd not boeause h is a Homan Catholic nor Democrat, if he bo such. It makes no dlfforeuce to you and to mo what his ro llgion or politics be. Km when he goes to the polls to commit violations of tho Iran cliise ho is neither 1'rotestant nor Catho lic, neither Democrat nor Republican. He is the enemy of socioty. When hu goes gouniug for human beings he is tho foe of society. He is a murderer and a criminal. Crime Is not partisan, nor sectarian. Hhoa, Mm Catholic; Shea, the Democrat, ia not upov trial here today. It is tihoa, the murderer of Robert Hoss, that wn havo placed upon trial. He is put on trial here for the purpose of ireventina crime and maintaining tho security and saioty of the state. Those words of atinging arraign ment hit Shea less fatally than they hit the system of politics which uses professional assasaiua liko Shea to keep itself intrenched in power. Murphy ism is not eiclusively a Democratic dlsease.but it is a diseaao which decont Democrats nnd Repub'icuns should unite to stamp out. Tammanyism is not confined, in principle, to the Demo cratic party; but, whatever its alleged partisan connections, it is organized venulity and organized prostitution of the functions of government; and it should be put to death, although to do this should require ths overturning of all our party polities. The era of polit ical assassination should cotno to an ab rupt end in this land of civilization and freedom. Representative Hatch, the Populist of "!i otiri, hag hoisted his ticket for i It contains the name of Senator i- Her, of Colorado, for president, nnd Representative Sibley, of Penusylvi nia, for vice president. We are unable to understand why Mr. Hutch should so conitpicuously alight the Nnv York Sun's cholae of Newt Twitty, of Qeorpla, and Grover Cleveland, of New York. Toller and Sibley, if we may be permitted the remark, are sim ply "not in it" with Twitty and Cleve-aud. Senator Quay, in the Georgo Wash ington role of plain confession, is a re freshing Innovation in tho senatorial wilderness of ovasion and falsification. The Bed Rock Principle. Information from Albany is to the effect that members of the committees on charities and education of the New York Stat-' Constitutional convention have decided that they will not report favorably on the proposition to with draw state aid for sectarian schools. They favored tho idea at first, but cnanged their minds after inspection and comparison of sectarian and of .state institutions. Tho former were far tho bettor of the two. A public mooting has been called for Wednes day evening at which such distin guished men as George Bliss and Fred erick R. Coudert will speak in behalf of sectarian institutions now receiving state money. This subject is obvlou-ily of such great importance that tho proceedings of this mass meeting, as well aa the later decision of the constitu tional convention, will attract wide spread interest. The danger in sec tarian education receiving state aid lies in tho fact that, from whatever standpoint oue views it, it presents the same evident departure from the prin ciple of a complete divorcement of chnreh and state. That principle is a vital one in Republican government, Liberty of conscience is not threatened by thut divorcement! liberty of con science might be threatened by its an nulment. If sectarian schools in Now York are better than the state schools, it is a re minder that tho latter should bo im proved. The trouble today is that state schools attempt too much. They not only want to teach the fundamentals of an education at public expense, b ut they want to add on all the frills. No matter how eminent its sanction, this ll utterly and iudefensibly wrong. Tho duty of the state, in supporting educa tion, is one only of solf-Iofenae. It is the duty of individuals to provide tho airy superstructure of intellectual ac complishments now foisted on over cranimed pupils at tax payers' cost. If the New York constitutional con vention could make up its mind to go bravely down to the bottom of this pub lic school question, and there quarry out the fundamental principle that tho state should pay simply for the plain teaching of plain elementary factors of an education, leaving all the rest to individual care, it would solve not only the sectarian problem, but also a vast number of other problems connected with our schools. ALTHOUGH, ACCORDING to a recent de cision by Justice Williams.of the Penn sylvania auureme court, there is no snoh thing as legal property in dogs, the owner of premis'.-s upon which a cur is "hubitnouslv and continuously kept", is doclarod restnnsible for the said (leg's misdoings. This is a distinc tion happily without a difference, Tin: Fit.simmons movement for second place will have cordial approval everywhere but at the polls. The Veto Problem Solved. An ingenious solution of the veto problem has bsen proposed by Elihu Root for adoption in New York state's revised constitution. Lie suggests that bills which have pussed tho senate and iissembly before they shall becomn laws shall be presented ton council of review, coniposnd of the governor and two judges of the court of appoals, who shall be designated from tima to time by the chior justice of thf su i- D I court. If the governor and one judge approve, the governor shall (dgu the t ill; if tho governor does not approve and tho two judges do approve, tho two jadge.i shall sign, nnd if a bill shall not tie approved by the governor and ono judge, or by the two judges, it shall be returned with objections to the house iu which it originated for consideration. The theory, practiced in Pennsylva nia, that one mai),ultl.oui;h a governor, is qualified to study the work of an en tire legislature so thoroughly as to b able to pick out objectionable features that have escaped two or throe hundred pairs of expert and critical eyos iui poBoe a heavy strain 011 one's credulity. It would bo a distinct improvement upon tho present system If every state that yet rotains the one-man-power veto system were to relinquish it in fa vor of a board of review. The Root plan is an excellent nucleus for a de cided reform in state legislation, not only in New York, but throughout the union. Senator Quay confesses frankly that he has dabbled in sugar stocks, but dis claims improper influences or dis honest motives. The senator will win respect for his candor, if not for his speculating. But when he defends his right to trade in stocks likely to be affected by legislation in tne making of which he is a prominent factor, be gots on untenable ground. No senator should be in the need of spesulntions as a means of support. Tho people pay them sufficient salaries to keep them olear of stock jobbing suspicions; nnd their failure to recognize this faot in their actions will simply count against the pnblic's estimate of their honesty. Before the graduates of the Uni versity of Nebraska at Lincoln, Pro fessor Herron recently said some thiugs which Governor Crouase instantly arose to repudiate. We give the two speeches side by side: 1 Prn fvssor ll iron Coaernor Crounir "I do not hellevctliia country is wholly had nnd tottering' on the Verge of destruction. I do nut agree with the professor that our courts are hail; that they are oatapooll of corruption and tho founts of anarchy.

JUST BEIWaiON ourselves. Representative Hines takes his victory iu the Kingston post cilice straggle as a sure indication that ho has conquered his enemies, both at bone nud In the cabinet; aud his roseate horizon contains, to his eyesight, no hint of possible defeat, llo is banking heavily on two things, first the fact that industrial conditions iu Luzerne have tirighteuod perceptibly in consequence of the bituminous strike, thus putting the laboring cla-ses into better humor; and secondly, the fact that owing to a ridicu lous mtstRke on the part of a certain Re publican nuwspapor iu Wilkes-liarrc, the liepuhllcuu opposition to him is in au un settled condition. Uufortuuately for Iliues, these two conditions occur in June, while election day befalls in November. This is a long wait 'twixt the cup of an ticipation ai;d the lip of realization; aud who knows what slipi may intervene. D Five Milton candidates not being ablo to fit into one postoftlce peg, Representative Wolverton proposes to recommend for ap pointment the one who receives the high est vote at a Democratic primary, but why a Democratic primary ? Aren't Re publicans likewise concerned in having on ehicieut mail service? For the bouelit of the gentleman who hiiB charge of outgoing mails iu tho Scran ton postoffico it may bo said that tho Uni versity of Pennsylvania is locatod In Phil adelphia. There is only ono University of Pennsylvania iu Pennsylvania, und a news package addressed to a puoil in that insti tution, even though the word "Philadel phia ' wero inadvertently omitted, would reach its destination properly if sent iu accordance with this free hiut, Moscow is yot in the throes of its post oflico war; and feeling on b;th sides con tinues to run high. At the same time it is undoubtedly true that tho supporters of Brother Bissell's solection would have a clearer case if they could demonstrate that tholr man was possessed of sufficient fit ness to distinguish between a registered lutter anil an almanac. see The committee on arrangements for the Elks' excursion to Lake Ariel next month are figuring on a big regatta, in which it is hoped to havo a number of Passaic and Newark boat clubs represented. Hut would not the averago inland excursionist prefer, instead, to see comic eveuts by homo tnl ent -such, for instance ns tub races bo tweon heavy weight business men, or mud scow contests for a leather modal? Hu morous features without number could be Introduced along this line, aud they would doubtless bo just as much approciatod at would crack events that wounl cost tho Klks thousands of dollars. Scrantonians, it should be remembered, are not greatly given to aquatic sports, despite tholr pos session of a magnificent boat club. t With Representative Scranton home again and the initial bow of a new paper that is supposed by ninny to be planned at least partly in the interest of his com petitor, ex-ifayor Fellows, announced for Thursday of this week, thoro would seem to bo a good chance for lively develop ments soon. Mr. Scrnnton's absonco had been prolonged boyoud his original inton tion, a circumstance that was by no meant neglected in the Fellows camp. It will be loft for tho future to tell whether tho present member can, by oleveuth hour ac tivity, make up for the lack of eneigetia personal direction which has apparently marked the earlier stagos uf his cuuvass. Last Saturday marked tho termination of Mr. J. W. Uould's connection with Tub TRIBENB, he having resigned to accept tho city editorship of tho promised new Even ing Express. Tho change will give Mr. Qould day instead of night work and also afford him superior opportunity for tho display of his good judgment and ready ability as a writer aud editor.

Why did not tho bituminous operators advance their rates without waiting for all this violence aud bloodshed? We as sume that tboy could havo done so iu the first place, bocuuso otherwise they could not do it now. The riots have resulted iu a dreadful destruction of property and a general paralysis of businoss. The opera tori are poorer by many hundrodt of thousands of dullars than they would be if their commerce had gone ou without in terruption. Yet wo find them offering to iucreMse tho wages of tho miners notwith standing the serioUB losse3 they havo sus tained, aud it seems to us that wo cannot be mistaken in assuming thut they could have madn tho increase just as well, if uot to better udvantage, boi'uro the troubles began.
