Municipal Improvement.
In an Interesting paper which Is re
printed on another page, W. W. Brown
ing of this city pointedly discussed the
church's responsibility for the official
corruption which exists In varying de
gree In all our large cities; and, with
especial reference to Soranton, suggests
the organization of a non-partisan body
of citizens, after the fashion of Cloth
nm's now famous "committee of sev
enty," to keep an eye on affairs of local
government and act as a volunteer
auxiliary to proper measures of munic
ipal Improvement.
Assuming It to be possible to Interest
a sufficient number of representative
citizens of all parties In such a move'
ment and to' keep them Interested
which In Itself is no small task it
would next be .necessary, before such
a body could demonstrate Its useful
ness, to Insure such a permanent organ
ization of It as would command Imme
diate confidence and respect; and, in
addition, to map out a line of work
which, while promising satisfactory re
sults, would not usurp the work of the
regular city authorities and the ordi
nary municipal machinery of govern
ment. While the co-operation of tho
politicians would need to be cour
teously Invited, the committee, or Pub
lie Safety league, or whatever else the
movement might be called, would have
to fortify Itself against the politicians'
sneers and contempt, If not against
their open hostility. The battle thus
begun, with Its many subtle under cur
rents as well as its billows of open
strife, would not constitute the flitting
caprice of an Idle hour. It would, In
nil probability,' laBt for whole decades,
carrying with It to every participant
of It. bitter personal animosities, sav
age criticism, envenomed mlnrepresen
tatlon and open abuse.
In the end, of course, and with the
right kind of management, such an or
ganization would achieve the victory
and could point to finished reforms that
would more than Justify the struggles
and trials of their thankless achieve.
ment. But before anyone goes into such
a movement, he should he wise enough
to weigh it in all its attributes and
consequences; and be exceedingly chary
of lending his help to the ambitions of
men who use the word reform simply
as a stepping stone to personal ad
vancement.
As between Labor Commissioner
Wright, who says the Pullman com
pany did not treat its workmen fairly
and the Pullman company, who says
that It did, the public will be Inclined
to suspect that Wright Is right.

"There are today more men and wo.
men In the country who live by common
lubor than anv other r-lnan The num
ber Is so large that there fa'rtot auf
flclent work for all.. This excess of
workmen Is caused by the large imml
giation that comes to us each year from
other countries. If It Is right to pre
vent foreign competition with our la
boring people by tariffs which obstruct
and keep out foreign products, It Is
right to prevent competition to our la
boring people with foreigners by laws
which obstruct and keep out foreign
ers." Colonel W. A. Stone, of Pittsbut
Air. Harrity evidently regards the re
cent avalanche as in the nature ot
pergonal snub.
One Question.
' The completed official footings of the
recent election In Pennsylvania- show
that the Prohibition candidate for gov.
ernor polled exactly 23,443 votes out of
SS2.635. His lowest vote. In any one
county was in Pike, where he received
11 out of 1,631; and his highest In Phlla
delphta, where he received 1,224 out of
194,920. In our own county Mr. Hawley
received the handsome complimentary
vote of 1,148 out of 27,783, a gain of 137
pver the vote cast in 1892 for Simeon
B. Chase. The Prohibition vote through
out the state shows a gain over 1890 of
7,336. a trifle jarger than was indicated
In the unofficial returns, but not yet suf
flclent to demonstrate that the party
as a party, has reas6nable hope of Bup
planting either of the old parties.
In this connection we print on another
page an interesting and, Indeed, remark
able letter from Rev. J. C. Hogan, of
Forest City, giving his views of the
strength and future of the Prohibition
partisan movement. Mr. Hogan, In this
letter, confesses that It was he who re.
cently implied that the Christian minis
ter who does not vote the Prohibition
third party ticket is either a knave or a
fool. Not content with this sweeping
assertion, our correspondent goes to a
greater length and, In colloquial lan
guage, "reads the riot act" to every
preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ
who does not agree with Mr. Hogan's
politics.
We do not propose to be drawn Into
an argument with an opponent of this
type, for the obvious reason that It
would be time and labor wasted. We
Ish merely to ask why those Protest
ant Christians who are In the habit of
regarding with something akin to hor
ror an occasional expression of Individ
ual political preference by clergy of the
Catholic church make no objection to
those pastors of their own denomina
tional faith who use the pulpit and the
loth as annexes to third party agita
tion.
And, by the way, when will work
begin on the Roaring brook bridge?
There are few railroads In this sec
tion which, as a matter of business
policy, can long afford to Ignore the in
dividual coal operators. The sooner
this fact Is learned, the quicker will
waning carrier dividends be restored to
reasonable basis.
There Is this consolation. Scranton's
wooden block pavement cannot lust for
ever.
Republicanism's First Duty.
There Is little danger that any Repub
lican leader, however apprehensive for
the welfare of his party and his coun
try, can overestimate the gravity of
the responsibility Imposed upon the Re
publican party in consequence of the
late elections. By those elections Re
publicanlsm was udopted as the favor
lte governing force, not simply of a
small plurality of tho citizens of this
nation, but of a substantially unani
mous north and east, and a west which
has repudiated Democracy utterly, and
which is only wavering between Re
publicanlsm and Populism, with its
true sympathies all with the former
Even the south discarded the political
solidity which had been unshuken since
the war and threw nearly one-half of its
intelligent vote Into the scale of Rh
publican restoration, leaving Its old
ally, the free trade Democracy ot the
north, helplessly and hopelessly strand
ed. All this, we are convinced, came
about by design and not by chance,
t was a deliberate withdrawal by the
people of their' previously misplaced
confidence, and a restoration of It In the
hands of a trusted servant and well-
tried friend, .Hence, the uncommon
need. In the next congress, of cautious,
conservative and confidence-worthy
legislation; of action which shall show
by works Instead of words that the
people's trust has not again been wrong
fully bestowed.
In our opinion, there Is no question
likely to come before the Fifty-fourth
congress in the form of a general law
which is of equal gravity and Import-
ance with the need of a resolute and
manly overhauling of the whole ques
tion of Immigration. The tariff Is set
tied at least for three years. The cur.
rency problem is just beginning to go
through the primary stages of public
discussion and popular education, and
will not, for a considerable time yet, be
ripe for the legislative harvest. But
the abuses of American hospitality and
the pollution of the well-springs of
American government by those per
sons from foreign lands who come
here without comprehension )of our
laws and stay here without sympathy
with our customs, our principles and
our destiny, have grown, it Beems to us,
to dimensions which demand effective
cure; We believe a time has come
when the Republican party may, with
out offence to any naturalized citizen of
honest purpose and true allegiance,
take a bold stand, not alone against
the Inpour of cheap-made foreign
goods which threaten the llvell
hood of the operatives of our factories
and mills, but also against the poison.
ous tide of anarchistic immigration
which swamps our home labor by Its
unthinking cheapness and enthrals our
capital In Its steadily growing network
of socialistic plotting and nihilistic fer
ment and unrest. Yes, more than this,
w.e believe that unless Republican
statesmanship rises to the full measure
of Its clear duty In this matter, unless
It shakes off the barnacles of political
timidity and gingerly fear of offending
some special class, race or sect. It will
forfeit the favor of the great mass o
patriotic American citizens, native and
naturalized, who, without bigotry, lit
tleness nor malice, yet believe that clti
zenship in this republic means some.
thing, and that the prerogatives of that
citizenship have long enough been
dragged, coward fashion. In filth and
fog and prejudice and fear.
It Is not mere acoident that the slums
of our cities are at once the hotbeds of
social crime and the nurseries of poll.
Meal corruption. It Is not mere chance
that the business of our criminal courts
already' distended beyond all reason, Is
dally asked to Include new ramifications
of vice and larger grists of wickedness
There are causes for these things, Just
as there are reasons why American
labor, despite high tariffs, cannot find
work and why American capital, despite
a past prosperity unexampled In the
history of nations, must seek safety
deposit vaults In fear ot riot or confis
cation. The people will expect the Re.
publican statesmanship of the Fifty.
fourth-congress to undertake the task
ot figuring these reasons out and of
afterward applying the cure. It will
expect this work to be done systema
tically, thoroughly and well. It will
not be content with mere straddles,
evasions or bungles.
It will' want the real article, all wool
and an honest yard wide.
'-"Protection by tariff means simply
good wages wages In excess of those
for similar labor paid in free trade
countries. The policy of the Republl
cans should be not only to see that these
wages are maintained by adequate
tariffs, but also to see to It that they are
enjoyed by our own laboring people,
Thousands come here, enter Into com.
petition with our own people for those
wages, and after they have' got a con.
slderable portion of them, return to
their own countries. This should b
stopped. We should legislate for our
own people our own country. This
campaign has convinced me that our
people need and demand not only legis
lation restricting the Immigration of
criminals and paupers, but legislation
restricting the Immigration, of people
who come here to compete with our peo
ple In common labor. People now here,
born In foreign countries, who have
adopted this country, or who intend to
adopt It who have come here to stay,
will be benefited by thiB legislation
equally with the American born. Our
naturalized citizens are not opposed to
the restriction of Immigration." Col
onel W. A. Stone.
The dog-in-the-manger role In politics
Is exceedingly unumlable, under any
circumstances; but it Is particularly so
when espoused by men who have every
Immediate reason to be satisfied.
General Hastings has doubtless ex
perienced a marked boom In the per
sonal friendship line since Nov. 0. The
friend since election, however, Is seldom
the appointee to office.
American citizenship, whether ln-
erlted by birth or acquired by natural
ization, needs to be protected against
tho indiscriminate Influx of alien unar-
chlsts and tramps. ,
This Democratic congress has med
died enough with things that It doesn't
comprehend. The currency question is
a good subject for It to let alone.
n any event, Dr.' Gibbons has no
cause to complain of the newspapers
they have gratuitously made him
famous.
The year 1895 will be a failure, locally
if lt do not bring new pavements to Mul
berry, Vine and Olive streets.
The Brooks law may not be modified
next session; but that doesn't say it is
Incapable of Improvement.
Mr. Cleveland may, of course, be a
regular master of finance; but we doubt
Santa Claus should bring Scranton a
dog-killer.

The New Englund society of Scranton
Is again at the front after a twelve-month
season of slumbering, and preparations
for the annual banquet of tho sons of the
pilgrims will occupy tho attention of the
committees of the association for soino

which Is an exclusively Yankee organiza

CHEAP AND PICAYCNISH.
From the Carbondale Herald.
The Scranton Tribune wall says that It
Is cheap and plcaf unUh to claim that our
government has been belittled beoause
Japan has courteously refused our at
tempts at mediation. Japan has always
shown herself friendly to this nation and
she has a perfect right to conduct her af
fairs according to her own best Judgment.
It was perfectly dlgnined on our part to
offer to act as peacemaker and It was just
as dlgnined on the part of Japan to state
that she preferred to treat with China. If
this government never makes a worso
exhibition of herself than In this ease she
will do immensely bettor than she has
done In the Immediate past. There has
been- a good deal of Jingoism In the man
agement of our national affairs of late
ears and It is to be hoped that It will Lt
long time again before we shall have
cheap bids for the favor of demagogues.
The patriotism of the Journals whose
wrath has been aroused by this fancied
snub of Japan Is entirely too ethereal
for earth.
