And the end Is not yet.
' Two or three over-sensitive common
councllmen, before a name had been
mentioned, have precipitately jumped
to the conclusion that The Tribune's
general observations as to the need of
a cleansed council are aimed directly
at them. Gentlemen, If the shoe llts,
weur it and welcome.
The Lehigh Valley Presidency.
The oontlnued prosperity of a prop
erty like the Lehigh Valley railroad,
which traverses the heart of the rich
est coal and agricultural country In the
eastern states, Is a matter of Immediate
Importance to very many people. It Is
important not only to the officers and
directors to whom 'has been entrusted
the property's management, and to the
9,000 stockholders whose savings are
partly or wholly invested in that prop
erty; but It 1b also Important to every
business and Industrial Interest adjoin
ing or tributary to this large railway
system. Th Interests of these various
classes of persons are nut antagonistic;
they are mutual, and each should ba
carefully considered by stockholders
when solicited for their proxies to ba
voted at the railroad company's forth
coming annual election of officers.
We have no hesitancy In saying that
the opposition to the present officers
and directors of the Lehigih Valley
Railroad company has materially
weakened Its chances of success by
falling to Induce a single railway ex
ecutive of experience and demonstrated
fitness to stand as dts candidate for the
position now held by E. P. Wilbur. The
choice thait It presents to stockholders
Is one between recognized ability, hon
esty and familiarity with the property's
needs and conditions In short, be
tween vindicated experience, on the one
hand, and blind uncertainty on the oth
er. Of the gentlemen thus far men
tioned as possible opposition candi
dates tot the Lehigh Valley presidency,
not one has ever occupied a similar
position or, In faat, any position calcu
lated to make ihlm familiar with the
duties of the chief executive of a valu
able raillway property. The . most
prominent .name suggested Is that of a
famous merchant who has probably
never, all told, passed three hours In
side the office of a railway president on
business connected with railway man
agement. Andthw genltleman conspicu
ous in the fight upon Mr. Wilbur Is a
shrewd politician and no doubt an able
flnJanaler, but In 'no sense a. railway
rrean, elKher practically or theoretically.
Under neither gentleman's manage
ment could the LuhJgih Valley railroad
be expected to derive one lota of new
prosperity as a: result of the change.
Turning to the other" side, we find a
management whloh once while times
were good was (honored with fulsome
praises, but W'hloh, so soon as the panic
came and dividends Inevitably fell off,
Began ito be loaded down with com.
plaints and grumbling. The manage
ment is just as able today as It was four
years ago. If anything, It Is stronger;
especially since the recent strengthen
ing of Its board of directors. The con
dttlon ami natural resources of the
property which It administers are not
surpassed by he condition and natural
resouraes of any other railway property
In the eastern states. Given a return
to the normal business conditions of
three or four years ago, this property
would soon earn as big dividends as it
earned then. All ithait can be justly
said of its management today is that It
as unfortunate Jn having to contend
against abnormal and temporary busl
ness depression.
To be candid. Is mot this a small
basis for the present organized revolt?
.
"Ex-Senator Ingalls Is credited with
saying, In a lecture delivered at Hunt
ingdon, Pa.: "The vote of Nov. 6 clear
ly expressed the wishes of the people
for protection to American Industry. If
I could have my way not a single ar
ticle of any kind that could possibly be
grown or manufactured in the United
States would be received at our ports
except under a duty sufficiently largo
to allow the grower or manufacturer a
reasonable profit on his Investment and
the laborer fair wages. Could I have
the ear of Major McKlnley, or Thomas
Brackett Reed, or Banjamln Harrison
who will give McKlnley and Reed more
trouble than they anticipate In the
next national convention, I would reit
erate that the American laborer needs
protection. Could I have my way, there
would be absolute prohibition of for
eign Immigration for ten years and the
suffrage would be limited to men who
can read, write and speak the English
language." This Is sound doctrine,
every word of It. No one but a Demo
crat objects to honest protection of
honest American Interests. True uro-
1;ectlon was never so popular as It Is
today. But there Id a false kind of pro
tection which should not and we sus
pect will not be re-enacted.
It ds assented dn the Scranton Times
that among IWie employes of this paper
are men wflio also serve as sensational
correspondents of the metropolitan pa
pers. Ths point Is one of minor im
portance, aiiid we do not know whotiher
the Times 1s merely mistaken or
Whether it deliberately lied. In either
event it said what was not true.
Cleanse Common Conncil.
The best business bruin and the
cleanest character In any city are none
too good to be employed In that city's
government. The Idea that the duty
of legislating for a city may pufuly bo
entrusted to Ignorant men, dissolute
men, careless men or dishonest men
needs to be exploded In this section.
The city of Scranton has in its com
mon council today some men us good
as any to be found in the land. It also
has men who are a disgrace to them
selves, and a discredit to the city. There
sno reason why this latter class photihl
be perpetuated no reason except the
Indifference of voters themselves.
No man should be elected to either
blanch of councils for the simple reason
that he represents a certain political
party. Let us keep party politics out
if local government as much as we
can. The ward heeler and the corrup-
tlonist are much more likely to benollt
by the drawing of the party line In local
affairs than are the business interests
of the city.
No man nhould be elected to either
branch of councils who does not own
some legitimate property and pay taxes
on It. The man who represents noth
ing In a business sense except his own
ability to negotiate a "deal" or pack a
caucus Is not a safe kind of man to
Invest with the power of taxing other
people's belongings. The hobo type of
common councilman Is not a success,
either as a thing of beauty or as a
benefit to business. Scranton ought to
do away with him.
The main difficulty with the income
tax will probably consist in getting the
law foeussed upon the right parties
when collections are to be made.
We learn from the Philadelphia Prrss
that "the bill which provides for pledg
ing the credit of the United States for
the payment of the principal and In
terest of the proposed Nicaragua Canal
company bonds is a fair measure of
guarantee and it should be promptly
passed." It "should be promptly
passed" If it is the purpose of govern
ment to vote public money Into the
pockets of lobbyists, speculators and
chronic treasury-raiders. . If not. It
should be incontinently killed. We nre
happy to observe that the people are
getting their eyes opened to the true
significance of this colossal Nleaiagiu
canal "Job."
There ds art earnest call juit new for
couiK'ilmanlc candidates who can
noltiher be bribed, bamboozled nor bul
lied. Harrison Not Available.
General Harrison was always some
what unfortunate In his friends. Even
before he became a presidential quan
tity, a clique of ring politicians In In
dianapolis tried without warrant to
make personal capital out of his local
popularity. These same rlngsters are
probably now responsible for the per
sistent effort to make It appear that
the general Is a candidate for renom
inatlon. While we lack positive evl
dence of it, we strongly suspect that
this effort could. If necessary, be traced
to the doors of one or two ex-offiee
holders In the Hoosler capital who think
that .! they can collect a Harrison fid-
lowing prior to ISflO they can make some
advantageous convention deals two
years hence. The ex-presldent Improb
ably as thoroughly disgusted with this
Impertinent activity as is the public at
large; but he Is doubtless in no position
to repudiate' it.
We surmise two things that seem to
us to be well-nigh certainties. One Is
that General Harrison has no special
desire to return to the presidency. The
other Is that he will not be drafted Into
service, regardless of his preference for
the rest nnd quiet of honorable private
life. We have never been an enthu
siastic admirer of General Harrison as
a politician; but we desire to do him
scrupulous Justice. It Is indisputable
that he at this moment enjoys a more
commanding measure of disinterested
respect from the masses of the Republi
can party from men who have not held
and do not expect to hold office than
he has commanded at any prior time
since first he became known to the
people of the country. There is a strong
and a general feeling, among the rank
and file, that he Is pre-eminently a
safe, a conservative and a conscien
tious man. who does his duty fearlessly
aa he seees It and refuses to cringe or
truckle. There Is equally a feeling that
the main tenor of his policy as presi
dent has been most thoroughly vindi
cated; nnd that the position which he
will occupy In history will be that of a
prudent, sagacious and clean-handed
executive, who preferred the approval
of his own conscience to the applause
of throngs or the Interested favor of
place-hunters and patronage-dispensers.
.
With such a record and reputation
already secured, what Inducement re
mains in support of further presidential
ambition? Obviously, none. General
Harrison we dare Bay realizes that he
has completed his mission as president
and that the prospect of a second term
offers only new dangers, responsibili
ties and trials without offering a single
new recompense or hopp. The work
which he surrendered unfinished can
confidently be submitted to the keeping
of G rover Cleveland's next successor.
Noneof the active Republican aspirants
for that honor Is unfit for the trust.
Each one merits General Harrison's
confidence and support. Further, even,
than this, we believe the ex-presldent
to be too sensible a man not to recog
nize the lack of political necessity for
his own re-nomlnatlon a re-nomlnntion
which would at once re-open all the old
complications and partisan misunder
standings without bringing with" It cor
responding offset In nn increased power
of vote-getting. .
It la best for General Harrison and
best for the Republican party that the
next president should be' a new man.
This need not Imply a man Inexperi
enced In public affairs; but one who,
however experienced in legislation,
would bring to the executive du
ties of the presidency free hands and
aii untrammeled opportunity.
We have received from the United
Press a package of circulars deriding,
abusing and fulminating against the
management of the Associated Press.
We have thrown these circulars Into
the waste basket. The Tribune's con
tract with the United Press calls for
news, "hot circulars. It does not care
a rap about what the Hungtown Bazoo,
the Wayback Wanderer or some other
remote paper has to say against the
Associated Press. It wants the news,
all the news and nothing but the news.
If some of the energy now spent by the
warring press associations in the pre
paration, of controversial circulars
were 'expended In the legitimate pur
suit of fresh news, the result to nil
concerned would no doubt be much
more satisfactory.
We are not aware of such a general
demand for (Jeneral Harrison's reiioml-
mitlon as would Justify the fuss made
over his cleverly-guarded declination.
The Republican party recognizes in its
late president a conscientious, sagaci
ous and eloquent leader; but it is not
disposed to force 1ilm Into the harness
again so long as there are dozens of
leaders fully equal to him In wisdom
and probably superior to him in avail
ability.
One of the types of common coun
cllmen who should be elected to stay
at home next spring Is the individual
who. on a salary of nothing ami with
nothing else in siylit as a means of
livelihood, nevertheless manages to
wear good clothes and rpend money
like a prince.

The Democratic Yoik Gazette attributes
the defeat of Congressman Strublnger to
Collector Shearer and the Influences sur
rounding and the effect of his appoint
ments. In the opinion of Colonel Tom Patterson,
the Irrepressible I'opulislic editor of the
Rocky .Mountain News, "the Democracy
of Jackson has lierid r.wuy; the virile
breath of liberty which Ml.d Its nostrils
is gone. The Democracy of toduy Is a
stunted tmcl sickly thing, withered and
dying. Were It not thus Impotent those
who are misgoverning in its name would
hear from It in no uncertain tones."
"A gallant soldier, a decent man, a
shrewd polltienl tactician, a man of superb
executive abilities, and un Inflexible Re
publican, are mialltlus that recommend
Captain John C Delnucy, and if Governor
elect Hastings has a desire to reward a
highly deserving applicant for factory In
spector, he can earn the gratltiuile of a
host of Lackawanna county people, both
Republicans and Uefnocrats, by appoint
ing Cnptuin Delaney," is the way the Cur
bondale Anthracite puts it.
In thp case of Governor Pattlson nnd
Secretary ilarrlty, politics has evidently
paid. The former, according to the linr

A PREPOSTEROUS SCHEME.
From the Baltimore American.
The Nit arngim canal lobby Is making
dcypcratc efforts to have action taken
by the present congress. Sto. k has been
Judiciously distributed, and the roseate
literature which has f,-rown around this
chimera Is being scattered with a freo
hand. Were nny other than Mr. Cleve
land In the white lions'1, (hue would bo
no reason to ;;ppreheud dan;; r, but it Is
Impossible to predict bin action upon any
important matter. It Is as.vrtcd by those
Interested In the propoped Nicaragua
canal that It can be built for One hundred
millions of :oll:i!S. It Is exceedingly
doubtful If the approaches to the canal on
cither side could be constructed for that
sum. It would take at least one hundred
millions of dollars to dig a safe and per
manent approach to the proposed cunul
on the Gulf side an l run the canal to the
San Juun river. , It would tnko one hun
dred nnd fifty millions to build the neces
sary basins and tho connecting waterway,
and it would take another hundred and
fifty millions to dredge Lake Nicaragua,
ami run the canal to the coast, nnd pro
vide It with cafe meann of access. This
estimate, four hundred millions of dol
lars, Is really modest If It Is proponed to
build a canal that will aceommoduta the
merchant murine of tho world now, and
for a quarter of a century, and, surely, it
Is not Intended to build it for fun, or as a
monument of American folly. The Inter
est charges at 3 per cent, would bo twelve
millions of dollars a year, and, yet, con
gress Is gravely a.ikei to saddle this col
ossal debt on tho country at a tlmo when
the administration has been compelled to
borrow one hundred millions for current
expenses In less than a year. There are
in this absurd schemo the possibilities of a
scandal which, In conqmrlxon with Pan
ama, would bo as Onsa to a wart.
