The Scbanton board of trade 13 Bupposed to have for its fundamental purpose the advancement of the busi ness interests of Scranton. When, therefore, it sends the printing of its annual report to a publishing house in Delaware, it must have some reason for not patronizing home industries. What is that reason? The Scranton Tribune Publishing company desires to make to Mr. Foster, chairman of the printing committee, the following proposition: It will agree to print the Scranton board of trade's report ac cording to any written specifications the board may elect.provided the Dela ware firm sballdothesame thing. Then it will submit the two specimens of workmanship to a disinterested jury of experts. And finally, if The Trib une's work does not win the award, The Teibune Publishing company will pay all expenses and make the board of trade a present of the receipted bill for the Delaware firm's work on as many copies of the report as the board shall need. We are willing to give to Mr. Foster the preparation of the specifications. For his services in this matter The Tribune Publishing com pany will, if defeated in the competi tion proposed, agree to pay Mr. Foster the sum of $100. The only condition we shall attach to this proposition is that if The Tribune's .work shall re ceive the award, Mr. Foster will pub licly confess that he has misrepresented a home industry in behalf of a foreign one. This is a fair proposition. Is it accepted? Grade Mulberry Street. ' The condition of the approach to the Nay Aug and Elmhurst boulevard is a disgrace to the city. Beyond Clay ave nue Mulberry street is like a quagmire, with mud where gutters ought to be, filth and slime where there should be good, substantial slag or shale road bed, and sprawling car tracks which make travel by carriage almost im possible. The city and the Lacka wanna Iron and Steel company are both willing, it Is said, to do their share toward the remedying of this evil. The Scran ton Traction company should not lag behind. A point to be considered is that the city's new park, as well as the boule vard, will be useless unless there shall be a radical improvement in the con dition of Mulberry street, which is now almost the only means of ap proach. It is essential, too, that the work of grading shall be done before winter, in order that it may have an opportunity to settle. This would B&veaneat sum in repairs year after next, since it would obviate the neces sity of double repairs. The work will cost just as much money, whether doue now or later. If done now, the Scranton Traction com pany will be able next spring to reap the advantages of largely increased traffic on its Nay Aug line, now any thing but satisfactory as a revenue pro. ducer. The manner in which lots have recently been snapped up in the direc tion of the new park clearly indicates the trend of the city's growth. No dog-in-the-manger tactics should be permitted in this matter. None would prove profitable. Editor Medill, of the Chicago Tribune, thinks he has found a way to prevent railroad strikes. It is in teresting, at least. He would provide a permanent pension fund for the re tirement on half pay of all railroad employes after they have been in the service a given number of years. The pension would also be paid to those who became disabled in the company's service. To raise the fund he would tax the earnings of each railway em ploye 2 per cent a year and the total earnings of the company 1 per cent a year. Mr. Medill thinks this plan would knit together the interest of the railroads and their men so firmly that these interests would be practic ally one. ' The feature of the Medill plan which occasions greatest debate is that its author would have the ar rangement compulsory. The question whether such pensioning of railway employes should be done by law is the point about which there is difference of opinion. Germany has such pen sions, but in Germany the roads are largely owned by the government. The Pennsylvania company has al ready a pension system something like the one outlined by Mr. Medill, and it works well,but the system is altogether voluntary. Those who are afraid of compulsion in any form need only to propose a better way. bomehow tney are not strikingly successful in doing this. In our new serial, "The Translation of a Savage," Gilbert 1'arker utters a new note in contemporary fiction. The idea is daring and original; the treat ment of it most vivid. Gilbert Parker is a name that will be heard from in literature. He has a man's boldness with a woman's sympathies; and he is essentially dramatic. The combina tion is one to "bank on," as it were. No Leaping in the Dark, The distinguished editor of the Coal Trade Journal favors this paper with the following attention: "The Scran ton Tribune thinks the anthracite seaboard trade would be lost if foreign bituminous coal was admitted free. There are things that tend to the loss of this trade other than the competi tion of outside soft coal; tho competi tion of American bituminous which is mined at a low rate, carried to market at one-third the expense for transpor tation that is charged upou anthracite, and thus forms a bar not only to the importation of foreign coal on the At lantic coast but to the increase of the use of anthracite for steam purposes, except in the small sizes which are usually the result of working over hitherto considered waste heaps, and which sizes are carried at a minimum rate of transportation." We hasten to assure our distin guished frleud that what he says is both familiar and partly true. Hut does it afford any reason why an American congress should double this danger to the anthracite industry by letting Canada into our seaboard markets, also? We believe it is the opinion of a majority of anthracite operators that they would rather take their chances In a competition with American bitu minous coal that In one which would take all the profits to a foreign coun try, in the form of dividends on the stock of an alien corporation. The competition is already keen enough and prices are already low enough without the need of such Inroads as would surely result from the enact ment of the Cleveland-Wilson-IIiues policy of free coal. So certain are we of the feeling of tho people with reference to tills matter that we are willing, nearly two mouths in advance of their formal expression ot it at the polls, to predict the utter and disastrous failure of the impudent attempt of this free-coal administration to angle for the votes of this congress district with a bait which bears the spurious label of a "Protection Demo crat." The Democratic national com mittee may dump $10,000 in this county if they choose; but whether theyeX' pend that sum or ten times so much, they cannot get the intelligent work ingmen of Lackawanna's factories and mines to Indorse a policy which has already cost them dear; and which, if free coal had carried as was the admin titration's design, would have doubled and trebled the measure of their afflic tion. A vote for Representative Scranton is a vote against the sacrifice of home Industries. A vote for Candidate Mer rllleld Is a leap in the dark. It will be gratifying news to thousands of persons in this portion of Pennsylvania that the crisis in the anthracite coal trade which seemed, a few days ago, to presage imminent disaster, has been, if not averted, at least postponed. At a meeting of the sales agents in New York Thursday the May circular was restored and such action taken in the regulation of tonnage as promises yet to bring about abetter situation in the trade. To have precipitated a coal war through sheer and utter greed would have been to have destroyed notonly the lighters themselves, but scores of innocent non- combatants as well. Edward B. Leisenring. Among the many tributes that may with entire truthfulness be paid to the memory of Edward B. Leisenring, whoso sad death in a foreign city was made known yesterday, there is one that, spoken of one who had his oppor tunities, is especially notable and de served. It is said of him that he never allied himself to any enterprise which had behind it unjust speculation; and the assertion is accurate. Stock water. ing he abhorred, as he would abhor theft. He wanted all his wealth to be genuine wealth and all his profits to be not only legitimate , but honest as well. The dollar that he invested rep sented 100 cents. The dollar that he traded with meant value received and given. He was a splendid type of the true and honest man. Many are the young men whom he has befriended, stuck to and established in life, as the world of business understands these terms. Never an one of these would he cast off, until reluctantly convinced of unfitness or ingratitude. In disposi tion cheerful, by nature generous, he made friends readily and retained them long. The element of con scientiousness was strong in his make up. What he did he did thoroughly and well. He was not content to half do a thing. Mr. Leisenring employed many men and employed them to his own and to their advantage. They loved him, not as a task master but as a sympathizer and friend. He never knowingly did them an tujustlce and they revere his memory as that which is dear to them. In private life ho was a pure and up right citizen; in the homo circle he was aflectionate and indulgent; in politics he belonged to the aggressive and up" right faith, and in business he was brave, candid, honorable and manly. The state of Pennsylvania, when Ed ward B. Leisunring died, lost ouo of Its truly foremost citizens. A Fa ir Challenge. "We Invite the peoplo to compare the pledges of the Democratic party with the performance of a Democratic administration. The fitness and ca pacity of the Democracy to govern must be judged by its record. Itsmost Important achievement thus far has been fitly characterized by the chief executive as one of 'perfidy and dis honor.' Denouncing political corrup tion, it has rewarded the largest con tributors to its campaign fund by the bestowal of foreign missions; de nouncing trusts, it permitted one of them to formulate its tariff bill; prom ising a continuanco of the vigorous foreign policy established by the la mented James G. Blaine, it substituted a 'policy of infamy' when Hawaii was freely offered us; denouueing the Sher man act as a 'cowardly makeshift,' it was enabled to repeal tho silver pur chasing clause of the act only by the help of Republican senators; arraigning protection as 'a fraud upon labor,' it pasfed a mongrel protective measure so tainted with scandal that It barely escaped the veto of a Democratic pres ident; advocating free raw materials and an extension of our foreign trade, it destroyed all the profitable recipro cal agreements made by President Harrison; pledging itself to the pay ment of 'just and liberal pensions,' It treats the Union soldieis as if the Grand Army badge were the badge of beggary and brigandage; pledging re trenchment, it exceeded at the last session of congress the expenditures of the corresponding session of the last Republican congress by $27,- 000,000, in the face of decreasing revenues and after it had added $o0,- 000,000 to the public debt; while pre tending to be in favor of individual freedom, it hastened to enact an odi ous Income tax force bill, empowering deputy collectors to enter the homes of citizens and compel them by threats of official summons and heavy penal ties to disclose their private affairs."--New York Republican Platform. POLITICAL NOTES. This plank in the Republican platform deserves to be read and remembered with care: " Ou behalf of the fnrmera of New York we protest ngftinst free wool, which means the destruction of our sheep hus bandry and which bai brought the price ot wool to the lowest azure recorded, vve deuouuee the federal administration for surrendering an annual revenue of S, 000, OUO on wool and imposing a burden nearly ten times greater Dy levying a tax on suiinr. the commonest household neces sity. We protest against the removal of the protective Darner to tne importat ion of Canadian agricultural product?. The farm products of New York deserve pro tection equally with the rice of South Caroliua and the sugar of Louisiana. We denounce the administration for striking ont the agricultural schedule of the Mc- Kinley bill and substituting an agricultural froe list fraught with ruin to the farmers." The JJomocratio press will scarcely have the hardihood to accept this challenge. They know too thoroughly that its state ments are true, When nil the circumstances of the case are considered, the current tulle of Demo cratic newspapers about the ''triumph of the bofB" and "I'latvs man Morton" strikes the independent Rochester Post Express as utterly absurd. "In every way, except In sly political maneuvering, Mr. Morton," says mac aoie journal, "is a broader, better and more capable roan than Mr. Piatt and to those who know the two men the idea that the party boss can control the party candidate, either now or after the election, appears mire non sense. The simple fact Is that Mr. Piatt does not manufacture tho Morton senti ment or create the demand for Mor ton's nomination, bat saw what the Republicans wanted and was shrewd enough to see that they got it'" This seems to be a fair expression of the gon eral opinion. Jlr. Morton's candidacy everywhere is receiving the most cordial support. By a blunder The Tribunr 'enterdny ascribed to --quire iucainueu" or lilladel phia, the credit for retiring Wruuiu Mc- Alcor. The fortunate man, however, was Joseph P. McCullen, a clean cut Demo crat with no pugilistic reminiscences in his past. There is no hope of bin election, since the wound created in McAleer's forced retirement will not yield to pacifi catory tretment. Ex-Councilman Ilalter tnau, tho Republican candidato and a respected American of Qerruan ancestry, will bo the next con gressman from the Third, thun giving to Philadelphia a solidly Republican dele gation, The lesson to be learned from McAleer's defeat will not have to be studied long when it is remembered how McAleer, elected as a "protective Demo crat," went back on bis constituents, bis promises, and, we dare say, bis innermost convictions by voting for the "porildy and dishonor" tariff bill. According to all reports, ' McKean county will give C4eneral Hastiugn a rattling plurality. The placing of lumber on the free list lias struck thecounty's lumbering interests hard, as Canada U their competitor in their markets. The wood alcohol ludustry, there Doing four teen chemical works in the county en gaged in the manufacture of that artic le, and Ha kindred product, acetate ot lime, are almost wholly prostrated, A year ago they were paying out mure than iiG,000 a month lu wages and now but tiOOO is be ing paid. The chaicoal industry, which i allied to tnote mentioned a Dove, nave suf fered in like degree. You couldu't get the voters of McKcau to Tote for a "Protec tion Democrat." The Harrisburg Patriot wnrns the Dorc ocratf of the Seventeenth district against over confidence. If the feeling sluce Buckalew was named ia overconfldeuce, we wonder what anxiety must be like.

NEED OF A NEW MARKET. Elmhwit sianal. The Scranton Tribune la agitating the question of a pnbllo market for the Elec tric City, and if the paper keeps at work on the subject its wish will be realized. The Tribune has undertaken to ohampion this much needed improvement with Its accustomed direotnes, and has succeeded iu awakening public Interest la the mat- ter. It would be a boon to the thrifty housewife of Scranton if It were possible for her, within the next year, to make ber purchases for the table from the neat counters of a centrally located market h'.Ufe. Then It would be convenient for the farmer iu disposing of his garden truck, to know that there was a place lor Llm to dispose of his load without drag ging it all over town. AN INDEFENSIBLE ACTION. Wilket-Barre, Timet. The Scranton board of trade mav have a lot of enterprise but it has a mighty lim ited stock of old-fashioned horse sense. It pretends to be doing what it was organized for to protect and encourage Scranton'a Industries. Then it proceeds" to send Its annual report to some concern down in Delaware to be printed. There is no pos sible excuse for this deliberate blow at home establishments delivered by people placed In public- positions with the aole ob ject of nourishing these institutions. The amount involved in thti one transaction is probably trivial, but it ahowa that there is only a microscopic amount of loyalty to Dome in tne beranton board or trade. There Is no hole through which the board of trade can crawl iu this deal Scran ton has as good printing offices as there are anywhere and the sending of the work out of town it an insult.
