The reputable members of common

who reflect no credit upon It. They do

the present effort to reinforce their
number by the substitution, next

ers. They Want a Paid Fire Department.
It is a gratifying' fact. In connection
with the present agitation for a paid Are
department, that the opposition exists
for the most part among persons who re
present little, if anything, in the way of
contributed public Improvements. We
nre not aware that one prominent bus
iness man ubjeots to a paid fire service
because of a slight additional cost of
that service. On the other hand, wo
know of dozens of foremost merchants
who are distinctly and emplvatlcally
in favor of the change, because they be
lieve It would add to the security of
mercantile as well as residential pro
perty.
An attempt has been made to distort
the project for a paid fire department
Into a political artifice; but the animus
of this attempt Is very evident. If the
opponents of the Improvemet could get
its advocates dissuaded Into a political
wrangle, the project might be defeated
for a time. We mistake the Influence

shall for un Instant permit themselves
to fall Into this trap. A paid (Ire de
partnient Ih needed in Scranton because

This Is the fundimental and vital mo
tive ot the agitation. Any political side
Issues are of minor Importance.
The fact should not be forgotten, In
any of these discussions of needed pub
lic Improvements, that Scranton, with
in a deoade, has doubled Jn both popula
tion and wealth, and Is therefore-en
titled to something more than the muni
ciple appliances which sufficed ten or
fifteen years ago. Nor should It be over
looked that the change from a volun
leer to a pnid fire-protective service Is
a natural one, Involving no Ingratitude
to the former service, but rather pro
moting and compensating It.

Heading citizens who flocked about to
congratulate a wife murderer who was
lucky enough to escape from the gal
lows the other day gave an exhibition
cif very poor taste. It would seemVad
enough to acquit a man of the crime of
killing a defenceless woman without
tendering ovations In honor of the
deed.
Ex-5peaker Reed on Wealth.
Tn his speech before the graduating
class of Pierce's Business college, do
llvered In the Academy.of Music, Phlla
delphla, last Friday night, ex-Speaker
Thomns B. Reed revealed himself in
nomewhat new attitude. Laying aside
polities! he spoke most entertainingly
upon the subject of "Wealth" wealth
in the abstract; national, rather than
personal wealth. To this ordinarily
prosy subject he brought not only novel
ideas but also a gift of happy expres
elon which Illumined his address with
many readable features like that which
We shall quote:
How essential Increasing wealth Is to
Increasing progress this generation and
the one which has just passed away
nas nnd cotter enances to Know thun any
which preceded them for our century
the century of steam and electricity,
.Wealth makes possible steam cars and
electrical railroads and telephones. Notli
lng else can do It. If. in the old days of
Queen Elizabeth, all had ben known to
day, It would hu-,e. ben an utterly lisr-
)es knowledge. There was r.o' urealth
enough .in those days to make a rjilroaii
possible. Kverybodv was too pour to
travel, except the nobility ami gentry, and
they were too few to pay the enormous
cost of railroads. Let me give you a few
figures to show what I mean. The I'nion
Pacific railroad, which Is not very pros
perous, In the month of October lost past,
only one-twelfth of a year, took In J2,
600,000. Two millions and a half dollars
were the whole revenue of an entire year
of Queen Elizabeth. The people In that
pparsely, settled rettlon, beyond the Mis
sissippi and this side of the mountains,
were able to pay for one month's ser
vice the sum which governed the Iirltlsh
empire a whole year, three hundred years
ego. When I say to you that the gross
receipts of the railroads of the 1'nlled
Btates, even In this year of depression,
would have supported three hundred
kingdoms of Henry the Eighth, I have no
doubt I am ridiculously understating tho
facts. Why, your own Pennsylvania rail
road, on lines east of Pittsburg, In six
jiionths loBt by the business decrease,
twice two millions and a half.
We have not time nor space to fallow
Mr. Reed throughout his luminous and
lucid talk. We pause only to note that
he finds no room for 'discouragement In
the rapid rcent growth of the United
States In wealth. The fear that wealth
heralds decay he finds common to all
ages end civilizations. Yet wealth Is
the nursery of clvlliratlon. It not only
widens commerce and subjugates na
tural barriers to human progress, but.
to borrow the speaker's phraseology,
'wherever men, released from the sor
did pursuit of mere existence, have
striven to. satisfy 'their desires, the
struggle has called Into being Inventive
powers powers of intellect and Judg
ment, and the whole mental armory
and arsenal of progress. In your own
great state of Pennsylvania there are a
hundred great establishments which re
quire for their management and success
more brains than have been put Into
the governments of many an empire.
Nor U the eduoatlon and mental
growth confined ,to the heads of such
Treat establishments. What the fno
tory system and the meoh&nio arte
have done for the eduoatlon of the raeo
will bear full comparison with the wovk
of colloRes find churches. Not only lias
the accumulation of wealth rendered
possible shorter hours of labor, and
more leisure for all mankind, but the
still further accumulation will enable
the world, without loss of fulfilment f
its desires, to go still further In that di
rection In the not distant future."
This Is, in some respects, u new atti
tude for one to take who Is active and
prominent In politics. The traditional
view of the politician or the social re
former Is to grow fearfully Indignant
or gruesoniely lugubrious over the re
cent and rapid spread of a plutocracy
ind the .sure rush of our modern civili
zation downward toward degeneracy
and chaos. That Mr. Heed has the
courage and frankness to discard that
loose habit of demagogical speaking in
favor of calm candor and common
sense will, however, probably weigh In
his favor rather than to his detriment.
The Tribune does not agree with
Charles K. Daniels on the viaduct ques
tion; but It takes pleasure In testifying
to his worth and alertness, both as a
newspaper man und citizen. If Mr
Daniels Is a candidate for the common
ccuneil from the Fifth ward, we shall
hope to see him win.
-
Judges and Pensions.
There are picayune economists who
argue Dhat If judges are pensioned,
school teachers should be pensioned,
also. The comparison Is Inapt; if for
no other reason than that a pedagogue
Is at ample liberty to engage in busi
ness enterprises aside from his school
teaching, while a judge Is not at such
liberty, aside from his justice-dispensing.
Many teachers, without sacrifice
of their zeal or usefulness, become
well-to-do and even rich. Few judges
do, 'unless by Inheritance. They do not
save wealth out of their salaries; and a
wise publlo opinion decrees that they
must not earn it in channels likely
to lead to the courts In which they pre
side, a
The common sense of this judicial
pension movement Is well expressed by
the Philadelphia Times when It says
that "the man who serves twenty years
or1 more on the bench Is entirely un
fitted to resume the practice of his pro
fessions. If even his advanced years do
not preclude him from succeeding In
the practice of law, the labors and
methods inseparably connected with
judicial duties practically unfit him for
practice at the bar. It is not uncom
mon, therefore, to find judges who have
exhausted their manhood and physical
and mental powers In the faithful per
formance of their duties unfitted to
continue on the bench; unfitted for any
other pursuit, and without accumu
lated means to give them even a frugal
livelihood for the remainder of their
lives. This Is unpnrdonable on the
part of a great commonwealth whose
treasury Is overflowing with revenue,
and that expends millions in various
charities to provide for many who have
brought misfortune upon themselves
by profligacy or crime. The judicial
office is the most sacred of nil secular
positions In our government, and when
a man enters upon the duties of a judge
he should be entirely free from nil
temptation to seek political or pecuni
ary advancement outside of his' legiti
mate official ditties. If he were assured
of a competence after' having ex
hausted his powers In the administra
tion of justice, he would be entirely
free to devote his life to his responsible.
trust, and to perform Its duties In such
manner fls to merit the reward that a
great commonwealth should give to
those who have administered justice
between man nnd man with Integrity."
Whatever will tend to Improve the
fairness and Independence of our courts
will be worth Its cost, no matter what
the price. The position for Pennsyl
vania's to take Is that the integrity of
the bench must and shall be preserved.
The pensioning of judges after twenty
one years of acceptable service Is a
move prompted by well-considered mo
tives of public-Improvement. It should
become a law without opposition.
The 300,000 women of the west who
sent a petition to the sultan of Turkey
asking for the release of an Armenian
missionary who Is In exile on an oasis
In the Sahara desert, are evidently In
the dark In the matter of Turkish poll-
tics.. A petition of this nature not
backed by Oattling guns, would not
create as much notice in the establish
ment of the Sublime Torte as a patent
medicine circular' fired over the back
yard fenee.

fit to survive,
To begin with, Turkey-in-Kumpe Is

rence. When the powers are fired with

cringes and dissimulates. When the
powers are again 'pacified, the Turk re
sumes his Inhuman persecutions and his
deviltries.
It Is useless to try to deal with this
cur-like survival of barbarism as one
Would deal with a civilized neighboring
power. . The amenities of civilization
are wasted upon It. The nice distinc
tions that are observed In the adjudi
cation of differences between Christian
nations would become sources of In
justice If applied to Turkey. The im
mutable law of evolution foredooms
this barbaric government to demolition.
Why should the present powers try (o
postpone that Inevitable collapse?
The partition of Turkey among the
Christian powers is the only sure cure
for these barbarities, .
, The Philadelphia Press think the
state "will haw to movs with con'
sideratlon In the matter of granting
more judges, for the nggregdte number
Is already too large. No additional
judgeship should be created for any
district until it has been made indis
putably plain that the condition of the
court business therein Is such that an
other judge Is absolutely necessary."
Such a condition Is Indisputably plain
in Lackawanna county.
.POLITICAL POINTS.
The Inquirer thinks Philadelphia ought
to present itself to David 11. Lane and the
traction company.
State Senator Ilardenbergh, of Hones
dale, predict!) that the brother of the late
Congressman Myron II. Wright will be
nominated for the vacancy.
Dissatisfied Philadelphia municipal
league members have issued another Hi
tack on Senator Penrose, because of hU
early opposition to the ballot reform and
the 5-cent fare bill.
I'nder the coming legislative rc-appor-llonnient
the whole number of reprsent'l
tlves will be reduced from 20 1 to (!. The
following named counties gain members:
Allegheny, live; Blair, one; Cambria, one;
Clearfield, one; Lackawanna, one: Lu
zerne, one; Northumberland, one; Jeffer
son, one. Losses are experienced as fol
lows: Adams, one; Bedford, one; Brad
ford, one; Chester, one; Clarion, one; Col
umbia, one; Crawford, one; Huntingdon,
one; Lancaster, one; Lawrence, one; .Mer
cer, one; Schuylkill, one; Somerset, one,
and Wayne, one. These are changes
which come from the constitutional pro
vision, and which the legislature cannot
control.
The senatorial committee in the Twen
tieth senatorial district Is now as follows:
E. P. Kingsbury, chairman; Walter
Brlggs, secretary; W. P. (iiifllth, Taylor;
W. II. Holllsler, Avoea: Michael (illroy,
Arclibald: John II. Reynolds, Scranton;
Hon. John 8. LuTouche, Moscow; A. D.

Carbomlale; Conrad Schroeder, Scr.in-

The Typical American City.
From the Chicago Mall.
Why should not Philadelphia be taken
as a typical American city? It Is a city
of homes, of rich historic associations,
of patriotic memories, of solid und sub
stantial trade ami business. Its people
are cultured and intelligent, without l-
Ing snobs and Anglo-maniacs or self-
satisfied cranks and dreamers. Pharisa
ism and Philistinism are foreign to Its
soli. It follows its own ways without
seeking to dictate the ways of its neigh
bors. . No mantle of self-conceit Is
wrapped around it. Probably less ex
tremcs of wealth and misery are coL
lected within its borders than In any
equal population In the world. Many of
the problems for tho more even distribu
tion of human happiness with which
other countries Rre struggling almost
hopelessly seem to have been solved by it.
Americans everywhere may he thankuil
that Dr. Doyle designated Philadelphia as
the typical American city.
' The .Millenium Not Vet Due.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer. ,
The; failure of tho altrurlan Colony
which was founded In Ohio last spring on
the Socialistic Ideas of W. I). Howells
adds another to the long lists of attempts
to establish communities from which till
strife, envy and selfishness shall be ban
ished, and where there shall be naught
but purity, self-abnegation, comfort and
happiness. The picture which was pre
sented to those who had long ago dreamed
of such a I'toWa was air inviting one.
There was nothing In it which could sug
gest that there might come confusion and
perplexity, but when a practical test Was
made of the scheme, It wns seen that It
could only be adapted to beings who have
no existence oulsldo of the Btorles of
fairy land.
Let I s Have tho News.
From the Scranton Free Press.
We take plensuro In agreeing with Tho
Tribune that neither the Associated Press
nor the United adds anything to Its ef
ficiency by abusing one another, and we
congratulate Editor Richard upon throw
ing the literature against the Associated
Press which It received from the Cnlted
Press Into the wnste basket. If all tho
editors followed his example, the public
would be much better served.
Put Good .Men In Councils.
From the Scranton Free Press.
Charles B. Daniels, of the Truth, Is
spoken of ns a cuudldate for common
councilman in the Fifth ward. .Mr. Dan
iels has the ability, the intelligence and
Integrity requisite for the ottlce, nnd the

IJazleton t-tntinel: "The Chrlatma edi
tion of the Scranton Tribune is a meritor
ious piece of work and reflects much
credit to tho enterprising publishers. Al
though new In the field The Tribune has
forged forward "steadily and now holds a
prominent' place, among the best slate
newspapers, Its' success is deserved,"
. . . , ...
Continues to Improve.
' Olyphant Oaaette: "The Christmas
edition of the Boranton Tribune, whtoh
appeared Tuesday, contained twenty
pates ntatly enoased In a oover printed in
rod ind. It many pages contained a
pooilly amount of business men's nntlce?,
telling What they had to offer for tho
holidays, the usual amount of telegraphic
and local news and many columns of
well written stories which found for the
issue a warm place with every woman
reader. The Tribune Is a great paper and
yet it continues to Improve with every
issue, May It so continue."
CHRISTMAS EVE.
'TIs Christmas eve; my pipe I fill,
Ami, sinking in my easy chair,
I mark the blue smoke upward curl.
And picture In It faces fair.
The w Inter winds are wild without.
The storm king mutters In his iro,
But naught disturbs my soul tonight,
Tills Christmas eve, before the lire.
The mirror o'er tho mantel piece
Discloses to my quiet view,
A head of careless, tangled locks.
With streaks of sliver shooting throujjh.
Life's autumn touches with Its frost,
The calmer days Its dreams Inspire,
Vntll my heart Is full of peace
This Christmas eve, before the fire.
The homestead old, the faces there,
The blazing chimney big ami wide;
The moonlight falling on the snow,
The music of the bells outside;
A gentle form beside my own,
Love's sweetest conquest and desire:
Ah me, how troop these happy dreams
This Christmas eve, before the tire.
Nor time, nor age can dim his sight
Whose heart retains Us youthful glow;
What fale denies, she more than pays
In glimpses of the long ago.
Thrice blest Is he this winter's night,
Whose soul secretes no mean desire,
Who, with his pipe, can sit and dream
This Christmas eve, before the fire.
