-
Need of a New Hospital.
The suggestion U niudo by residents
of the West .Sldo that if It be the pur
pohe of tl:u directors of the Lacka
wanna hospital to enlarge thut much
crowded Institution of mercy, no better
plan could be pursued than to remove
the site from the central city altogether
to sonic one of the many hUjh, health
ful mid picturesque fcpots on the Hyde
Park side of the river. It is contended
thut inasmuch m many of it.- car.es
coiiio from that portion of the city,
now necessitating a Ions carriage of
patients in ambulances, always a pain
ful operation, such a location would
briiitf the hospital ncurcst to its chief
constituency a!'.d also permit the hos
pital, through the greater availability
of land on the West Side, to have su
perior facilities nt less cost than could
be obtained .anywhere near its present
site.
It is indisputable that the hospital
needs to be nulieally enlarged and im
proved. The question of adding on
aelditions .to a parent building little
fitted for the purposes to which it is
devoted, instead of rebuilding entirely,
will, wo suspect, be auswered rather in
accordance with the resources avail
able than according to tho wishes of
the hospital directors. In a crowded
business portion of a city like our own,
an emergency hospital is almost a ne
cessity. Fersons almost daily receive
injuries in the streets which would be
much aggravated were it necessary to
carry the patients to a remote place of
treatment. Therefore, if an arrange
ment could be made whereby the pres
ent building at Franklin avenue and
Mulberry street could be maintained
as an emergency tiud supplementary
liospli.il, and an entirely new and ade
quate one be erected, endowed and
equipped on 'the West Side, wo feel
sure that it would be the ideal solution
to this whole problem.
And what is to prevent? In the
11 rat place it should be understood that
the state owes to this community a
minors' hospital worthy of the name,
The Lackawanna hot pi till has done
nobly with the means at its command;
but it, lias not been, and nobody will
piv'.cnd that it has been, the kind of
hospital suited to the necessities of the
tliiid largest community of the com
monwealth and of the first largest com
munity in the anthracite mining re
gion. The state lias made liberal
provision for hospitals at Pitlston,
Wilkes-J j;ine and Caiboiidalc; and it
simply cannot .refuse, after a proper
presentation of the case, to make at
least equal, if not proportionate, ap
propriations in behalf of the metropo
lis of the hard coal fields. Here is a
thai. co for Kepiescn'alive i'arr. The
achievement by him of an cimcted'law
nppropsiating say f",D,OOJ for a state
hospital at Hound Woods, would be a
iitling climax to his many services in
behalf of the laboring classes: nor
would such a measure perish by veto
at the hands of Governor Hustings.
Meanwhile,' tho Lackawanna hos
pital could doubtless be sustained by
private beiuficonco as uu admirable
adjunct institution bridging the chasm
betwien the icini-privato Moses Taylor
lio.ipiinl on the liwt tSido and the do
sired new -statu hospital on the .West.
Sugar a "delicate subject?" Well,
rather. .
'
Two new minister to Itussia, Clifton
R., liieckiniidue, onco fought against
his government, later profited by tho
assassination of political opponents in
his' own congressional district, and
lnhst won renown as an obedient
G rover Cleveland cuckoo. It will
ficurccly bo denied that ho has earned
his reward,
Pklhident Dole, at Honolulu, is a
first-clans example of what grit, brain
and backbone will do for a good man.
The First Step.
The suffrage committee of the New
Yorii state constitutional convention
has made one indefensible mistake in
refusing to submit the question of
woman sufTrago to a popular vote; but
It almost ntonea for this offense by
recommending the following amend
ment to the Empire state's funda
mental law: "After January 1, 1005,
no person shall have the right to vote
or be eligible to office under tho con
stitution of this slate who shall not bo
able to read the constitution in tho Eng
lish language, and write his name; pro
vided, however, that the provisions of
, this section shall not apply to any per
" son who now has the right to vote or
to any person prevented by a physical
disability from complying with Its re
quirements." " , 1
No just objection can be made to this
proposed qualification of citizenship.
The state, in self-defenso against re
cently increasing ignorance and crime,
must advance along this line. To be
sure, it is inconsistent that the smart
est women should be declared Ineligible
when the most stupid men, with no
comprehension whatever of the mean
ing of the suffrage that they enjoy, are
permitted to assume the rank of sover
eigns merely by memorizing tho con
stitution and acquiring the manual
dexterity essential to a signature. I!ut
great reforms movo slowly, and so far
from feeling discouraged nt their own
rebuff, the educated womanhood of the
land should feel grateful that lordly
man has at last made up his mind to
move one step upward from the Cim
merian darkness of regal illiteracy, in
which he has obstinately wallowed
politically since the birth of the repub
lic. It Is the first step that is always
hardest to dare. The New York con
stitution menders have dared this in
novation in assenting to an educa
tional test. We should not give up tho
hope that their reluctant feet, gaining
strength and courage from this unex
pected exorcise, will yet sustain them
in the journey toward equal justice to
all citizens, regardless of sex.
It is FiiKAsiNo to observe that the
Scran ton ISaso ISall club is eyeing llrst
place in what really looks, temporarily
at least, like a determined manner.
The Chicago Tribuno is mistaken
when it says that Mr. Powdcrly "is
reputed to lie worth half a million dol
lars," if thereby it means that he pos
sesses that much wealth. What Mr.
rowderlv is worth and what ho owns
are two different things. We have no
inside knowledge of Mr. Powderly's
business affairs; but are nevertheless
willing to wnncr that ho does not to
day own one-tenth ef half a million
dollars; and the effort to insinuate to
the contrary docs tho gentleman gross
injustice, since it implies charges
known to be false.
We violate no confidence in saying
that sugar will continue for some
months to be, as Mr. Cleveland con
fesses, "a delicate subject."
For Those Who Stood Firm.
The Pittsburg Times is disposed to
regard as one of organized labor's
greatest victories the fact that it has
brought about in many trades annual
conferences at which wage questions
are settled for a year. The advantage
of this, to both employer and em
ployes, are, it thinks, so great and so
plain that the annual agreement upon
a scale which formerly obtaiued in
but a few trades lias extended to many.
Those who are used to it would as soon
think of giving it up as of going to
work by the week with an under
standing that their wages might be
changed from day to day, according as
the wind blew.
Hut the Times very shrewdly sur
mises that the Debs and Sovereign
policy of "calling everybody out when
ever anybody has a grievance, cannot
exist in partnership with the yearly
scale system. It cannot be written as
a proviso in a scide of wages for rolling
steel or blowing glass, or setting type
that 'this contract may be declared off
without notice whenever any other
body of men in any other industry fall
out with their employers.' Such
scales would bo worse than no scales
at all. They would not be articles of
agreement, but provocations to dis
agreement.' They would substitute
continuing uncertainty for the twelve
month periods of peace which prevail
in many industries. There would be
not only frequent strikes, but always
the threat and fear of strikes, which
would he quite as demoralizing as a
new tariff' bill every year. A contract
could not bo taken to do anything or
to make anything, with any certainty
of being able to carry it out."
It will rank as one of tho wholesome
indications of tho day that despite the
false clamor caused by such men as
Debs and Sovereign, tho great majority
of tho conservative workingnieu of the
country were not stampeded like cattle
into a causeless general strike, but in
stead stood their ground firmly and
patiently, in obedience to fair contract
obligations. Those who have very
properly been nurcilcsslv puncturing
tho puffed ' pretentions of the labor
demagogues of the land should not for
get to give corresponding recognition
and praise to the hundreds of thous
ands of sturdy toilers whom these
demagogues could not sway.
It would be a happy outcome of the
New York gubernatorial situation if
Empire Stato Republicans would util
ize Andrew D. White's return from
the Russian ambassadorship as a fitting
occasion to preseut to him tho nomi
nation of which he was wantonly de
prived four years ago. The experi
ence of Mr. White nt the convention
which nominated Fassett was almost
identical with that of General Has
tings, a few weeks prior, at tho Penn
sylvania convention which nominated
Delamater. Tlio nappy trend of re
cent events in our own commonwealth
lias rectified tho blunder of four years
ago; and it is now within the power of
the Republicans of New York to com
plete the significant parallel.
1
American histoky contains no par
allel to tlio celerity with which Grover
Cleveland, after winning universal es
teem by his course during tho Debs
strike, has sacrificed it in an erratic at
tempt to dictate to congress.
An interesting story might have
been written had Minister Willis nar
rated all his feelings at tho moment
that he vouchsafed recognition to the
new iepublio of Hawaii.
If the firo limits of Scranton have
recently been ndequatoly enlarged, the
fact has escaped general observation
Mb. Fassett could, this year, be
elected governor of New York against
any Democrat; and would doubtless
make a first-class executive. Never
theless, tho nomination of Andrew D.
White would he slirowd politics and
likewise good citizenship; and it would
insure the election of a man about
whom there could be no uncertainty.
It is not generally known, although
it is a fact, that the president has
power, under certain circumstances, to
adjourn congress very much as tho
quecu of England may prorogue par
liament. In section third of article two
of the federal eonstitlou it is provided
thai in case of disagreement between
the two houses respecting tho timo;of ad
journment, tho president may adjourn
lliem to such a tinio as he may think
proper. This power has never been
exercised by any president; but the
possibility that it may have to bo ex
ercised by Mr. Cleveland before the
larilf light shall have ended is worthy
of consideration. It is not likely that
a president who sees no impropriety in
instructing cqngrcss what he wants it
to do and iuftbusiug it for not doing
it, would be deterred by any delicate
scruple from resorting to the foregoing
novel method of getting congress "oil
his hands."
It is intehestinu to note that many
persons who, a few mouths ago, were
resolute in their onnositiou to com
pulsory education, aro now equally
resolute in support or mat parallel re
form, comnulsorv arbitration. Tlmo
and reflection are powerful evangelists.
The election of senators bv the
people would not mend matters, if
the quality of certain popularly eiecieu
governors be any criterion.
The Vigilant should come homo,
dock herself and try to be forgiven.

"Selling Off at Cost?"
The expression is about as old as deception some say it originated with

It has been our practice ever since we entered into
the mercantile arena not to carry any goods over from

bound to take it. Our busy store will always verify
