The deterrent effects of a hanging or

better estimated after the experiment
had been tried.
Need a Paid Department.
It will be agreeable news to progres
sive Scrantonlans that the prospects
are bright for the city soon ito have a
first-class paid fire department. On
another page The Tribune explains how
this Important forward step is likely to
be taken, and that, too, with little if
any exitra expense to the city. Hut
even if the expense were larger than It
seems likely to be, the enterprise would
deserve unstinted commendation, as an
investment which would return itself to
the Investors tenfold.
The establishement of a paid depart
ment would not mean that the present
volunteer lurce nau noi uone magnitl
cent service, for which It is entitled to
the warm gratitude of all our citizens,
It would merely mean that Instead of
expecting these heroic volunteers to do
manly service at great risk without pay
they wouAl be regularly and even more
effectively organized on a business
basis. If to 'this should be added, in
course of time, a pension system for dls
nbled or retiring firemen, the depart
pient would be placed upon a footing
equal to that of any. department in the
country. . t; t
. The advantages of such an arrange
ment are so evident that It seems al
most superfluous to enumerate them
It would be as. logical to expect police
men to volunteer their services in the
protection of the city against crime and
disorder as to expect the hard-working
firemen of a city of Scranton's stand
ing, Blze and valuable' property to labor
Without pay. The Introduction of an
ordinance to accomplish the foregoing
purposes should be followed by speedy
and liberal action on councils' part. It
Is a 'task which councils have too long
postponed.
It was a lucky thing for Secretary
Carlisle that that Baltimore plan was
rot copyrighted.
The people have already answered
ilr. Cleveland on several points In his
Indictment; but his fling at the stirviv
lng war veterans whom he acccuses of
trying to get pensions by "mean and
treacherous crimes" will be answered
again, In 1896.
e dare say Colonel Breckinridge
reels right In his element, now.
Meaning of Free Coal.
The Canadian Manufacturer pub
lishea an (interesting review Of the past
year operation of the Dominion Coal
company, nrra 16,500,000 Corporation
which re-echoes Mr. Cleveland's im
. passioned demand for free coal. In ten
and one-half months, according to the
Manufacturer, the Dominion company
mined 834,019 tons of Nova Scotlan coal
Upon this output, ."whjch cost $93S,
236.73. a profit of $231,162.71 was made
and an additional profit of $103,267.93
was matte in transporting the same
to market. The total earnings of $334,
1 , - . . .
1..W.0U on un outlay or ti!(,;;oti.i J Is prac
t 1,.. . . . .
ueuiiy per cent, prorit. This Js an
enormous profit, particularly when it is
remembered that these results were
obtained In the operations of the first
year, when the business must have
been attended with many difficulties."
The Manufacturer adds:. "Another no
ticeable fact In-these reports' is that
the product of the mines of this com
pany can be placed at tidewater, ready
to be loaded Into vessels, for $1.11 per
tonf for Mr. Whitney states that the
cost of thus placing his 834,019 'tons
was $929,278.52. That Nova Scotia coal
will be a powerful competitor with
' American bituminous coals In New
Knirlftnd market la tihmvn ,hr fhn c,1
lowing: The dlfrtance from Loulsburg,
Nova Scotia, to Boston, is about equal
to the distance from Newport News,
Va., or Norfolk to Boston about 700
miles. The average price of coal at
Newport News for the past four years,
1890-1893, was $2.38 per ton; the average
ocean freight from that shipping port
to Boston during the same time was
98.8 cents per ton, and the average
price of coal free on board ship In Hob
ton was $3.30. These figures are based
,! on $1 per ton, the Belling price of coal
free oh cars at mines In West Virginia.
At a valuation of $1.11 per ton at LculS'
burg, and the freight from there to
Boston being tlhe same as from New
port News, and all other expenses the
same from either place, It is evident
that the Nova Scotia coal can be de
livered In Boston for $1.27 per" tori less
than the Virginia coal! but from this
must be de'ducted the ilury Imposed
ujmn the foreign article."
Mr. Cleveland's demand for fre coal
would, If heeded, be a line thing for
this Nova Scotia syndicate, undoubt
edly; but It is not ru: pHwlns that tho
people vf 'the American coal fields do
not relish' It.
The ltrooku law, enforced, would bo
bad enoUKh. Not enforced. It la simply
howling farce.
Rced,.in the house, and Quay, In the
senate, monoplize attention at Wush-
igtun. ltut,catvyou wonder? Where's
the pair thot will match 'em, lake it on
what basis you will?
Mr. Cleveland's message will not help
hi.s party's western chances.
More Reapportionment Tacts.
Our esteemed contemporary, the
Wllkcs-Uarro Record, discussing the
milng reapportionments, hus this to
say concerning the pnaent allotment
f senators: "The population of the
tate being S,248..r.74, the ratio for repre
sentation Is 2C.;4.'. I, sing this l.ttio
Allegheny county would have Us repre
sentation Increased from sixteen to
twenty-one. Ulair, Cumbria, Clearfield,
efferson, Lackawanna, I.uxcine an !
Northumberland would be entitled to
one ndilitional representative. i ne
counties -of Adams, Bedford, Bradford,
Chester, Crawford, Columbia, lluuliiig-
ton, Lancaster, Lawrence, Mercer,
Schuylkill and Wayne would be re
duced one member in their representa
tion. Seven counties would gain twelve
members, and twelve counties would
lose twelve members. The legislative
apportionment, however, presents none
of the striking features which ?o
trongly urge a new apportionment us
do the Inequalities of the antiquated
senatorial apportionment of 1874, under
which we are now represented. These
Inequalities are best illustrated by the
following table, which shows the pres
ent senatorial districts with the coun
ties of which they ate comprised, the
population of each district and the
average population of tho several dis
tricts where a county includes more
than one:

'Total population, 1890.
"A few moments' study of this table
will show the glaring Injustice of the
present apportionment, a relic handed
down from 1874. During the Interval
that has elapsed many of the counties
have grown rapidly and some bate
retrograded in population, until there
Is no trace of any relation between
population ana representation. For
example, the Twentieth, and Twenty
first, which include Luzerne and Lacka
wanna counties, have a total population
of 342,937, or an average population of
171,499. The Seventeenth -, district,
Lebanon county, has a population of
only 4S,05l. The citizens' of Luzerne
and Lackawanna counting, if given
representation in the- state senate In
proportion to Lebanon, would have
seven senators Instead of two. This
may seem an extreme case, but the
Thirty-first district is nearly as bud,
the counties of Milillii, Perry und
Juniata, with a combined population of
but 62,897. Luzerne und Lackawanna
on this basis would have five Instead of
two senators. Crawford constitutes a
single district with a population of but
63,203." . l
me itecoru suggests a scheme for
reapportioning the senatorial districts
that, exclusive of Lebanon county
which is under a kind of constitutional
ban, would leave Bucks county, with
0.248 population, the smallest district
in the commonwealth, und Schuylkill,
wltih ir.3,7f7 Inhabitants, the largest
while eight districts would have almost
exactly the one-fiftieth ratio, 104,971
The Record's plan would give Luzerne
two senators and Lackawanna one. It
wouiu yoKe tnose two oni-tlme ene
mies, Bradford and Susquehanna, to
gether imto one district; would put
Wayne with Carbon, Tike and Monroe
and Wyoming It would Join -with Sulli
van, Columbia and Montour. Such nn
arrangement would be eminently non
partisan! and it is evident that the
lines of suggested division would ma
terlally Improve the present inequall
ties of senatorial representation.
This subject, even more lmportan
thun the congressional reapportion
ment, will come before the Incoming
legislature for revision; and it will need
attentive and experienced considera
tion. Our contemporary does not over
estimate the Inequalities of the present
apportionment. The territory now em
bruced in the Twentieth and Twenty
first districts should have at least three
senators; anything less would const I
tute a needless Injustice.
in view of the fact thait the next
mayor of Philadelphia will preside exe
cutlvely over the political destinies of
mora people ithan Inhabit each of
twenty-two states, the state-at-large,
which Is very much In sympathy with
the politics as well as tho general w4
fare of Its chief city, does not need an
excuse for the Interest which It takes
In Philadelphia's present .mayoralty
fight. It Is pleased to observe that of
all the prominently mentioned candi
dates,- not one Is unfit to be entrusted
with the office's responsibilities; wMl
In the case of the leading aspirant, Sen-
ata-' Ptnroiie, it cordially recognizes
one of tho cleanest and most promlsng
public m::i in the entire state. Phila
delphia Is to be congratulated upon the
exeeiUw: oullndc for Its municipal
government.
Spurred to it by tho d ilire for a
greater Pittsburg, Seimtor Fllnn, of
Allegheny, will introduce a bill enabling
affec.ted communities In any part of the
state to vote upon measures of annexa
tion. Under the existing law, a peti
tion of property owners Is made effec
tive by action simply of councils. Such
an act would be a decided improvement
over the present method.
The organization of the next statu
house of representatives should includu
experienced men in the clerical depart
ments. There will be work before that
house which cannot safely be entrusted
to new hands.
In addition to the regular committees
at llarrisburg next month, the Republi
can majority should not forget to desig
nate n robust squelching committee, it
will probably be the busiest committee
f all.
Thieves, it Is reported, recently re
lieved a Wyoming county farm 'f of a
irge quantity of skunk skin ;. A thief
who will pilfer skunk skins is certainly
n enthusiast in his line of business.
With an estimated federal deficiency
this year of $2O.UM,O0O which- Is wholly
unprovided for, it certainly takes
nerve on O rover Cleveland's part to
talk about adding to the free Hat.
The trouble with tlrover In that learn
ing a thing is such a serious tafk with
him, he doesn't feel able afterward to
Unlearn It. There' are many men like
that. Some call them Bourbons.
If the greater New York scheme goes
through, Gotham will have 3,000,000 in
hlbitants, covering 317 square miles.
The mayor of such a city would be a big
factor in American politics.
Mr. Cleveland suys the treasury will
this year be $20,000,000 "shy;" but the
liunces are that the deficit will reach
,'0,000,000, or about the proportions of
u second issue of bonds.
The easledt treatment of a difficulty
is to run uway from. It. This is prob-
ibly how the next legislature will treat
the excise problem.
It is getting difficult, these days,
sometimes, alus even in The Tribune,
to tell where art leaveB oft and where
libel begins.
A paid lire department In Scrnnton
would mean the casting aside, by this
metropolitan municipality, of another
apron string.
VIEWS OF THE .MESSAGE.
Philadelphia Press: "President Cleve
land's latest message will completely dis
appoint those who expected a striking,
suggestive and uggresslve munlfesto. A
more dull, tepid, sterile, Inane paper It
would be Impossible to Imagine."
Philadelphia Record: "Tho message Is
very plain, everyday document, written
In the usual style', but hardly with the
usual care und finish of the president's
previous state papers."
Philadelphia Inquirer: "It is useless to
argue with u mini so stone blind that he
iinnot see. President Cleveland has
nothing to lose. His political career is
about run, ami he sticks by his wild und
destructive theories In the face of the
tremendous blow administered through
the ballot box"
Philadelphia Times: "The one para
graph on thi! subject of maintaining the
credit of the government will do more to
Inspire confidence throughout the world In
the Integrity of the Ainerieun people,
than any deliverance that has rnme either
from congress or the executive dining the
lust decade."
Senator Brlce: "There are, I believe,
thirty-eight pages of the message, of
which thirty-seven pages are figures,
while the remaining page Is given up to
urging tho adoption of the Baltimore
lliianclul plan. 1 have not had time to
verify tho figures, but as for tho Balti
more plan It strikes me as a pure dream.
Its adoption would certainly demoralize
the finances of the country."
Rochester Post-Kxpreps: "If the gov
ernment wants to provide a new currency
for the people, let It leuve the Issuing of
circulating notis to private enterprise, or
lso Issue Its own notes directly und be
directly responsible for them. Let It not
lend its credit to banking corporations.
Senator Toller: "I cannot see that the
message offers any relief to the country,
and It appears to me as If the president
fulled entirely to comprehend the iina'i-
clul or pulltlcul conditions."
Senator Chundler: "The message is a
very commonplace document. It Ignores
the fact that we have a great silver ques-
Jon on hand und It utmost Ignores the
'arlff question, exrept ill referring to tho
'popgun' bills anil In making the absurd
proposal of admitting free ships In older
to help American shipping."
Senator Hansbrougq: "I had heard
that the president was suffering from the
gout and tha message ennliruiH II. lie
recommends a decrease In the turllT, not
withstanding the deficit, and makes no
recommendation for the Increase of reve
nues." Representative Dalzell: "(.'lie president
either hits not heard as yet of the elec
tions that recently look pli.ee, or does not
think Unit they are of any special signifi
cance." Representative W. A. Stone:' "It de
fends Hoke Smith In his crusade against
the old soldiers, and recommends that
tho Issue of seeds to tho farmers through
tho mulls lie dispensed wllh, by which a
a few thousand dollars t uq be saved."
Representative' Ilroslus! "I seo tho
president has nniittcd to make any refer
ence to tho Nleuiugua ship canal. That
canal may engage tho attention of con
gress during 'the winter. It Is a subject
whoso Importance to tho country can
hardly be overstated, but It requires wise
and conservative treatment, und it la
doubtful If tho present house Ib equul io
the task." '
JOURNALISTIC JOTTINGS.
The Philadelphia Times Is now partly
set in lended agute by type-setting ma
chinesgiving more reading In ne-at form
In less space.
Stephen W. Holies, formerly 'managing
editor of the Toledo (U.) Blado, once
Nltsby's -paper,- on Monday assumed pro
prietorship and activo direction of the
Frio (Pa.) Dispatch. Mr. Holies promises
to keep up Its sterling Republicanism and
Improve Its general appearance. If he
does these things, the northwestern coun
ties will gain a much-needed representa
tive newspaper.
' The enterprising publishers of the Leb
anon (Pa.) Report, not satisfied with tho
success of their evening edition, have be
gun a'morhlng one, also. Lebanon would
seem to be a small town for such nn ex
periment; but In Journalism, lis In politics,
you cannot always foretell, Up In Blng
hamton, for. example, the new morning
edition of the successful Evening Herald
Is spinning along into publlo favor Just
like a top, '
POLITICAL POINTS.
Linn Hartranft, son of the ex-governbr,
is rcgui-Ued as a formldablo candidute for
deputy secretary of the commonwealth.
It Is considered ftt Harrlsburs a remark
able fact that tho extreme western part
of tho Mate has never been represented
in tho chair of the chief executive.
Representative Lafferty, of Allegheny,
who deMlned rc-elnctlon, is an appli
cant for sergeant-at-arnis of tho senate,
but would accept a corresponding place In
the house.
Jtre B, Rex, of Huntingdon, has re
ceived assurance from a lurge majority
of representatives to tho legislature that
he will get their siqtport for resident clerk
of the house.
Among Monday's visitors to Bellefonte
whs T. V. Powderly, of tills city. Tho
appointment of Cuptaln John C. Delaney
ns factory inspector will, It Is thought,
be uniiounced this week.
General Hastings has bee n overrun with
oMlce-seekars ever since his return home.
No upi.nlntmcnts have been made, except
that of James M. Auter, of I-larrisburg,
for messenger. He was messenger for
Mr. Hastings when he was adjutant gen
eral. Congressman Charles W. Stone, of War
ren, thinks there is no doubt of the elec
tion of Major .McDowell, of Mercer, who
was defeated for reiiomlnatlon for eon-grcss-at-large,
us chief clerk of the
house of the Fifty-fourth congress, unless
the congressmen from the west combine
on a candidate for the place.
Tile Kepubll, -litis at Washington do not
favor any tariff legislation ut this ses
sion. Senator AMrleh, of Rhode Island,
,suys he thinks It w ill be best to allow mat
ters to rent where they are. "Let the
country recover," he added, "und we will
isee If any further legislation is wanted."
Congressman Dlngley, of Maine, on be
ing usked If tho Republicans would re
enact "MeKlnlcyism" when they come
Into full power, us they expect to two
years hence, replied: "That depends upon
what you mean - by 'McKluleylsm.' If
you mean every ruto and schedule of tho
tariff net of 1S90, then I reply 'no;' but If
you mean tho protective principle, the
policy of imposing upon competing lm
port duties equivalent at least to tho
difference of cost of production and dis
tribution here and abroad, arising mainly
from our higher wages, which is tho un
derlying principle of the tariff of 1890, then
I reply 'yes.' The principle of protection
Is permanent, and the Republican party
Btnnds by it. The rates required to
carry that principle Into effect change
as industrial conditions change." .
Congressman Reyburn believes that as
tho tlmo approaches for the choice of a
successor to President Cleveland, the
conviction will gradually force Itself
upon all classes that ex-President Hurri
son most nearly fulfills all the require
mcnts. He is a wise and able statesman
In many respects the ablest In the coun
try. Ho Is thoroughly conversant with
tho necessities and conditions prevailing
In ull sections; ho represents no extreme.
position, and has the confidence of the
business community as well as of ull
other classes. The recollection of his for
mer administration Is rendered more vivid
by contrast with the failures of the pres
ent, and his selection would assure a tran
quil, dignified and safe administration
For these reosons It Is no detraction from
tho claims of other available candidates
to say that he seems likely to be regarded
the most acceptable by his party."
