The Viaduct Ordinance Vetoed.
The message accompanying the
mayor's veto of the West Lackawanna
viaduct ordinance Indicates that the
Inadequacy of the accompanying speci
fications was a prime reason for the
withholding of executive approval.
While this Is undoubtedly one strong
factor In the situation, another Is to be
found In the gradual change of public
opinion since it became apparent that
the enactment of the viaduct legisla
tion would in all probability open the
the door to excessive damages.
As the mayor points out, the limit of
the city's indebtedness has already been
reached and with two expensive new
bridges Boon to be paid for, it would
undoubtedly be Imprudent for councils
to contract further obligations without
a clear and distinct understanding as
to their amount. The percentage of
carelessly contracted municipal indebt
edness is large enough, at best; it would
obviously be a poor policy to take an
other large leap In the dark, particular
ly when there is abundant time to form
ulate an ordinance which shall fully
cover the present uncertainties.
From a canvass taken Borne time ago
by representatives of this paper, We are
convinced that unless public sentiment
on the West Side has since changed,
opinion there Is about equally divided
for and against a viaduct, not to men
tlon a third factor of comparative In
difference. The probability of the early
completion of the Swetland street
bridge, thus alienating a large per
centage of the traffic now belonging to
West Lackawanna avenue, has doubt
less contributed to this indifference.
Such being. the case, there Is reason In
the suggestion that the details of the
viaduct be first finally adjusted before
the city shall be asked to obligate it
self to large extra enpense.
The viaduct, within reasonable cost
limits, would no doubt be a good thing
for many residents of the West Side;
and we do not Interpret the present
veto to mean the project's death blow,
but simply an admonition to caution
and exactitude In the contraction of
new debts,
Numerous bright features will make
tomorrow's Tribune even more Interest
ing than it ordinarily Is. There will be
twelve neat pages of first-class reading
and the cost of It all will be just that
of two penny cigarettes. Forego the
cabbage leaves and buy a Tribune.
Preserve the Forests.
If at next week's conference of the
heads of departments of the state
government It . shall be decided
to recommend Dr. Rothrock's
scheme for state forest reserva
tions, an important forward step
will be taken toward the preservation
of our wooded domain. Dr. Rothrock's
Idea, In brief, Is to empower a com mis
Blon to locate three reservations within
the commonwealth one to be In Pike,
Monroe, Luzerne or Lackawanna coun
ty; another In Sullivan, Lycoming, Clin
ton, Center or Potter county, and the
third In Clearfield, Elk, Cameron, Mc
Kean or Forest county paying for the
same an equitable price; then to have
the state geological survey commission
and the state board of health examine
these reservations, reporting their
value and possibilities as public parks
or sanitariums; and Anally to put them
tinder such supervision as shall Insure
their remaining in nature's original
dress, with all the natural accompani
ments of game, (fish and plant life.
Thisproject Is in some senses a daring
one. It triplicates the task which lnw
perlal New York state has been Btrug
gllng over for nearly a decade, by ask
ing Pennsylvania to make three parks
where the Empire state cannot success
fully secure one. But Us adoption Is
urged by unanswerable arguments. Al
ready our foreBts are bereft of game
and our forest pools and Btreams nil
but deprived of sportive fish, while the
forests themselves are rapidly dlsap'
pearlng before the combined assaults
of repeated forest fires, the railroads,
the saw mills and the wood-aotd works
At the present rate of destruction, a
few more years will see the tall timber
of this vicinity wholly gone; and not
even the smaller second growth will
then be Ignored by the eager chopper
or the relentless flames.
If, therefore, a decided stand Is to be
taken In the hope of averting a foreseen
and a certain calamity, which every
year brings nearer, this is the thne to
take It. It will be useless to cry forest
protection when there are no longer any
forests to protect. Though there should
be objection to some of the details of
Professor Rothrock's project, the gen
eral purpose of it is worthy of most
earnest commendation. The main
thing is to get legislative action started.
That done, experience and discussion
will shape It properly and regulate er
rors of detail. Pennsylvania Is yet rich
In the natural treasures of her wooded
uplands . and hills. Will she preserve
this wealth, or will she wantonly
squander it?
For the holiday season, an advertise
ment In a paper like The Tribune
reaches the eyes of buyers and Insures
a brisk trade. The surest antidote to
calamity crying Is systematic advertis
ing.
The county commissioners have com
pleted negotiations through which they
will be enabled to reduce the Interest on
the bonded Indebtedness of the county
from 5 to 4V4 per cent., making a saving
for the county of $2,100. This saving,
It may be said, Is not, perhaps, of great
consequence to the prosperous county
of Lackawanna, but it proves that the
commissioners are alive to the Interests
of the taxpayers and are on the alert
to be of genuine service to them. They
manage the business of the county as
they would a private enterprise of their
own. In this connection it will be of In
terest to know that the commissioners
are now redeeming $40,000 of the out
standing county bonds, leaving a bal
ance to be provided for on the 4Vfc per
cent, basis of $120,000.
Lemuel Ell Qulgg swears he didn't
spend a cent in his second campaign
for congress. And Ell got there, too.
Ridiculous Financiering.
Our present method of replenishing
the treasury with gold suggests to the
New York Herald the story of Davy
Crockett's coonskln. "Peltries," suys
the Herald, "were a circulating medium
In the backwoods, and Davy at the log
house tavern paid for the drinks with
the fur of a coon which had been the
sole reward of his prowess with a rlllu
that day. ' The bartender threw the
peltry under the rude counter, and
Davy, recovering It through the Inter
stice In the logs, tenderd It In payment
for another 'round,' and repeated the
trick until he and his compotators had
drained the barrel, and the puzzled pro-
prletor discovered that as a result of
the prosperous trade he had been drlv-
lng he had nothing on hand but the
same old coonskln."
There Is this Item of difference, how
ever. While we may have on hand the
same old paper mill that grinds out the
same old bonds, under a new title, we
have each time a larger debt, which the
people will have eventually to make
good. The deficit which serves as an
excuse for our latest bond issue was a
purely gratuitous one, due to no other
cause under the sun than to Dem
ocracy's meddling penchant for blun
derlng. But for the threatened repeal
of the McKlnley act, finally consum
mated by the substitution of a measure
carrying with It $70,000,000 of new de
ficiency, and the abrogation of reclpro
cal treaties, there would have been no
occasion for new bonds and no short
age in the national government's cash
drawer.
There Is no doubt as to what would
be thought of a private business man
who, while In the receipt of a good In
come, should deliberately revolutionize
and experiment with his trade until ex
penses regularly and largely exceeded
receipts. He might make ends meet for
a time, by borrowing money on promts
sory notes, but It would be a reckless
and dangerous kind of management.
sure eventually to come to grief. The
one safe way to do business Is to keep
one's expenses within one's Income and
thus save needless Interest charges
This was the policy which character
ized the Republican party's adminis
tration of the national finances. The
worst objection that Democrats have
ever made to that administration was
that it resulted in the accumulation of
a surplus, whereas their own control
has achieved nothing but deficits.
Massachusetts will, at its forthcom
ing legislative session, again pass upon
the proposed assumption by the state of
the control of the liquor business, after
what Is known as the Gothenburg sys
tern. Two years ago this proposition
passed one house and was defeated In
the other. Its advocates contend It will
pass both,- this time. The plan. In de
tail, contemplates the leasing of license
rights by state agents, under restrictive
conditions assuring a minimum amount
of disturbance from the trafllc in In
toxicants, combined with a consider
able revenue which can be devoted to
public purposes. We must frankly con
fess that this plan seems quite as logi
cal as the present high license system
as known In Pennsylvania. It would
put the state In the position of having
to enforce Its laws on this subject or
else lose good tenants. Assuming that
the drink traffic is still an essential
branch of commerce, the arguments In
favor of Its practical restriction and
careful regulation are too apparent to
need definition; and the Gothenburg
system, from all accounts, is a very
successful solution of the vexing prob
lem, from a practical standpoint.
The supreme court, by affirming the

Recorder-elect Goff, of New York, ex

get elected last week; and the Lcxow

In twenty-one states, Including Con
necticut, Indiana and West Virginia,
the Democrats will soon not have a sln-
gle representative in congress. From
the northern states only fifteen Demo
cratic members have been returned, the
majority of them by scratch pluralities.
In consideration of this fact, we ques
tion whethpr It paid the Democratic
party to play to the socialistic rabble by
means of the Income tax.
Until within a few months ago, the
government purchased Its stamps from
private manufacturers under the con
tract system. Then some lynx-eyed
paternalist thotiKht he saw a chance to
save a few pennies, and a federal
stamp factory was established. The
saving, up to date, Is about $50,000, not
counting the cost of the new ma
chinery; but the new stamps are rotten
In fiber, sickly pale in color and ab
solutely worthless with respect to their
slicking capacity. The people who buy
stamps will, of course, have to keep on
buying them at the same old Btand; but
they are certainly entitled to a vigorous
complaint.
No explanation of Democracy's over
whelming defeat has been more satis

made by Crover Cleveland In his letter

CHATS HY THE WAY.
Secretary Nlven, of the Wllkos-Tia-re
board of trade, Is cheerful, happy anil en
thusiastic. "In my opinion," he says,
"tho possibilities for high achievements
are great, nnd primarily because there is
every evidence that the sun of commer
cial prosperity Is rising to blaze for a
long time over this favored land. The re
cent elections have ended a prominent
disturbing factor In trade conditions, and
the settlement of national policies will
naturally relieve the business men of all
anxiety and apprehension for some years
to come. Already information comes from
trustworthy sources that confidence has
been restored and that the avenues of
commerce will soon echo with the bustle
of renewed activity. This Is good new.-)
and must have its effect in stirring up
things in the Wyoming valley. With a
happier feeling in relation to the future
Industrial matters must Improve, and It
Btrikes me that If those Interested In the
board of trade will give It the encourage
ment of their confidence nnd wise advice
and experience that It won't take long to
Infuse new life Into Its work and muko It
what It has been on occasions In the past,
an organization whose benefits will be
substantial nnd far-reaching." Thin Is
the kind of talk that makes the mare go.

In the course of an extended essay on

"Probably no professional man has more

salary by throwing this class of floating
population down seven flights of stair.

As before snld, John Donovan, of nay
county, constitutes the boIo relic and
reminiscence of the Derrtocratlc party in
Michigan, a fact which the Detroit News
commemorates as follows: "The first
John was the voice crying In the wilder
ness; so Is the latest John to achieve dis
tinction. Ho Is the Democratic party In
the legislature of 1895. He Is Winkolrled
and the Pans of Thermopylae, all in one.
He is the New Zealamlcr on London
Bridge, sketching tho ruins of London.
He Is Napoleon pacing the quarter deck
alone on the way to St. Helena. He Is
the solitary sentinel on the watch tower.
He must be awake all tho time to partisan
legislation, and, being the Democratic
party, must keep himself well-organized
to withstand the attacks of the enemy
upon the principles of which he la at once
the custodian, the representative and the
protector. About the first thing he will
have to do will bo to hold a joint esuens
with himself, to nominate party candi
dates for the UnlteD States scnatorshlp.
Donovan, of Ray, Is a landmark. He Is
the monument of the Democratic great
ness. Ho Is all that Is left of his party In
Michigan. More power to him.

POLITICAL POINTS.
Representative-elect Hart's' olllclal plu

Eighth district is 197.
The Rucks and Montgomery county Re
publican members-elect of tho next house
have indorsed Harry Walton for speaker.
Senator Quay passed yesterday as the
fcuest of David Martin at his country
home at Holmesburg, near Philadel
phia. Philadelphia Republicans will press upon
Governor Hastings the appointment of
City Solicitor Charles F. Warwlek as at
torney general.
Billy nines is said to be in hot water
again over the Huzleton postotlice. An
indorsement from him will mean dozens

Free Trailer Tom Johnson, of Cleveland,

to be a candidate for re-election two
years hence.
William P. Owen, the Republican can
didate for secretary of state In Indiana,
according to' the olllclal count, has 44,733
plurality over Myers, his Democratic
competitor. This Is tho largest plurality
ever cast for a Republican candidate.
Every one of the thirteen congressional
districts in Indluna was carried by the
Republicans. The lowest plurnlity Is that
of Watson over Holman, In the Fourth,
434; and the largest Is that of Johnson
over Elliott In the Sixth, 12,017.
The candidacy of ex-Representative M.
A. Foltz, of Chambersburg, for Btate
printer Is receiving comment from breth
ren of the craft throughout the state.
Mr. Foltz has passed upward of a quarter
of a century In the practical schooling
of a newspaper ofliee. His paper, Public
Opinion, Is not only a notable financial
success, but also a model of typograph
ical neatness and excellence. Tho ap
pointment of Mr. Foltz by Governor Hast
ings would Insure good work honestly
done in the state's olllclal printing.
The Philadelphia Press kindly corrects
an error which Inadvertently crept Into a
recent Issue of The Tribune relative to
the representation which Philadelphia will
enjoy In the next Republican state con
vention. The number of delegates based
upon tho last presidential vote was In the
state 2til, ofwhich Philadelphia had sixty
three, or something less than one-fourth.
"In tho next convention," says the Press,
"there will bo an additional number of
delegates, amounting probably to about
thirty, and of thin Increase Philadelphia
will get a little more than one-third, but
It will still have less than one-fourth tho
whole membership of the convention.
In fact, the relative representation to that
of the stato at large will not be changed
In any material degree, because every
district which has made a siifllclent in
crease in Its Republican vote will also
have an Increased representation."
