1 And the end is not yet
The disposition of common council to
make a partisan Issue out of the pro
posed annexation of Mlnooka will
weaken the chances of the project's ul
timate success. If it cannot meet with
general approval Irrespective of poli
tics, it cannot succeed as a party dodge,
The advantages to the people of
Sllnooka of annexation are obvious
ienough. But! what about the other
end of the bargain?
Some Facts Worth Considering.
I If the leaders of the Republican party
at Harrlsburg are wise, they will hence
forth treat with appropriate Indiffer
ence the effort of certain Philadelphia
influences to cast ridicule upon the
anthracite counties. It should be real
ized by these leaders that in the three
great coal-producing counties of
Schuylkill, Luzerne and Lackawanna
there Is represented not only one of
tho largest, wealthiest and commer-
dally most Important sections In, the
commonwealth a section inhabited by
upward of half a million people, or
mure than the population of eighteen
states and territories, taken severally
but also a political following that last
month polled for General Hastings 4G,
030 Republican votes against 36,985
votes polled for his Democratic com
petitor. It Is especially noteworthy
that here is a clean Republican plu
rality of 9,045 In a territory which, only
a little while ago, was counted upon as
safely Democratic.
In this territory, so often derided by
Phlladelphlans who wish to monopolize
party favor at Harrlsburg, are two
cities which, If united, together with
their populoussuburbs, would in popula
tion equal Pittsburg and, in wealth, re
sources and Industrial magnitude con
siderably exceed it. In Scranton alone,
tihere are Industries representing an ag
gregate Investment in excess of 118,000,
000, 'while in population Scranton today
fanks with such cities 'as Indianapolis
In the west end New Haven In the east.
and Is growing more rapidly than
either. This is the section the activi
ties of which, In the Philadelphia news
papers, occupy less space, upon the
mihole, than Is accorded toy the news
papers of Wllkes-Barre and Scranton
to Philadelphia alone. This Is the sec
tion which, when If asserts a Just claim
in politics or legislation, Is made the
butt of metropolitan wit and treated
often as If It were a disorganized reser
vation exempt from both the refine'
ments and the obligations of clvlllza
. tion.
"We present these casual facts In no
"spirit of trepidation, for we feel that,
Irrespective of Philadelphia and the
Philadelphia newspapers, the anthra
cite coal region Is well prepared to take
thorough care of Itself. If, for example,
owe of the counties In that region finds
that Its growing court business neces
Mates another Judgeship, It will not
!feel under any kind of obligation to
consult the wishes of Philadelphia be
fore It shall make Its need known. In
this use of the word Philadelphia, how
ever, we wish It understood that we
have in mind only those pert residents
cf Philadelphia, few In number, who
take It upon themselves, upon all occa-
slons, to speak for everybody in the
Oity of Brotherly Love. We suspect
that the majority of Phlladelphlans are
really exempt from the monopolistic
tendencies of a handful of newspaper
men and politicians In that excellent
city who have been known to try to
elevate their own interests by depress
Ing the interests of the state-at-large.
Two days' deprivation of the convent
ice of rapid street transit have con
winced many Scrarrtorrlans that the de
lrablllty of street cars is no longer
open to debate.
Abuse of the Franchise.
The idea of subjecting to a fine the
citizen who neglects to vote Is probably
in advance of the times. But it would
seem to be entirely proper to lay down
the legal principle that systematic? nr.,
lect of the party primaries shall In time
forfeit one's right to vote. The fran
cnise, it snouid not be forgotten, Is not
by any means an Inherited and Innllen-
able right. Upon the contrary, It Is dls
tmctly a privilege, conferred by" the
state upon such persons as will, at least
in theory, be fit and legal supporters of
the state; and it may be granted or
taken away under whatever conditions
the Btate may choose to impose.
This being true, what shall be snld
In defense of the citizen who treats with
persistent contempt the primary and
fundamental obligations of his citizen
ship; who shirks his duty by falling to
aid In the nomination of fit candidates
for ofllce, and who afterward skulks
away from his sovereign duty at the
polls? If the state should deem It wise
to strip him of some of his civic priv
ileges, after his repeated indifferences
to them, would blame attach to the
state, or to him?
We do not expect that the salutary
advice of Judge Stewart In this di
rectionthat those who shirk a pri
mary shall lose their ensuing; vote will
bear immediate fruit. Hut if in con
sequence of frequent discussions of
this theme there shall be engendered a
higher regard for the privileges of the
suffruge, the result will repay Its cost.
We have very little patience to waste
on the Ignorant, the venal or the Indiff
erent voter. We do not cave how sumii
the law takes after him with a Bhiirp
stick.
If among the candidates for common
council in ithe Thirteenth ward there Is
one who clearly surpasses the others
with respect to energy, uprightness and
practical familiarity with the needs of
both the wtird and the city, the voters
of the ward are recommended to elect
that man by a handsome majority. The
ward Is entitled to 'the very bt-st lvpre
seintaitlon ifhait it can get. Each voter
ought to know enough about the vari
ous candidates to make an intelligent
choice.
How to Purify Councils.
We have been asked to explain Just
how the progressive citizens of Scran
ton may secure a better representation
In common council next February. Tho
requisite method of procedure, we re
ply, is anything but difficult. There
will need to be nominated in this city
next month by each party twelve
candidates for common council and one
candidate for select council. Elections
will occur in .the odd wards on Feb. 19,
for common council; and there will ulso
this year be two vacancies to fill; one
In the Sixteenth, In place of Common
Councilman Schadt, who leaves coun
cil to become county treasurer; nnd one
in the Seventeenth, in place of Select
Councilman demons, who becomes high
sheriff.
The nomination of these candidates
will be made In caucus. Each citizen
has a vote at some one of these cau
cuses. If the progressive men in each
party would In each ward name a rep
resentative business man on each party
ticket and they could easily do this if
they would take the trouble to attend
their particular ward caucuses there
would be a choice between two good
candidates of opposing politics and it
would make comparatively little differ
ence, so far as the bulktif the expected
service is concerned, which man were
elected. The drawing of a party line
In ward politics is Intrinsically ridicu
lous, no doubt; but In the Instance just
supposed, it would do no harm, and
would greatly facilitate matters.
If, however, the party nominations
should be unsatisfactory, a third name
could toe presented In each ward by
nomination papers. We suspect that
It may become necessary In one or two
wards to resort to nomination papers
If the sentiment which is now every
where awakening In behalf of better
representation in councils is not to be
cheated of its wholesome desire. Some
thing more than passive assent on the
part of the majority is needed, however,
if common council is to be strengthened
In accordance with its obvious needs.
The time for action Is drawing near.
Do Scrantonians want better men in
councils? That is the question which
must soon be answered.
It is a question of dollars and cents
as well as of sentiment. Be prepared
to answer it wisely,
There will be no objection to a short
session of the'leglslature If in a short
session all the time shall be given over
to . the . consideration of; measures of
genuine public Interest and value; and
if no time shall be Squandered on mere
lung-testing and posing. In this con
nection Speaker-to-be Walton is rec
ommended to keep well ,in yev tho
parliamentary tactics whereby Thomas
B. Reed drew the chock-rein on .wind
churning congressmen with filibuster
ing Intentions. The legislative session
that begins Tuesday should be just long
enough to thoroughly cover the ground,
but Just short enough to escape the
Jaw-work and Jobbery which 'seem to
be Inseparable concomitants of large
majorities intoxicated with power.
The Climax of Littleness.
There, was a case in court this week
Which stands conspicuously out among
the trivial differences with which our
court dockets are clogged as notably
petty in its actuating spirit. . We al
lude, of course, to the prosecution of
the assistant secretary of the Scranton
Young Men's Christian association for
perjury, upon information supplied by
Druggist D. S. Ryan. The facts In this
case, briefly stated, are that while the
Sunday-closing movement was In pro
gress, this druggist, while openly ad
vertising the sale of certain liquid re
freshments on Sunday, was arrested
under the act of 1794, and fined. This
action resulted from the testimony of
C. A. Wiley, who stated, under oath,
that he had seen four persons at Mr,
Ryan's soda fountain one Sunday fore
noon, drinking soda water, and had
further seen one of these persons prof
fer a coin in payment for the drinks.
' The ground upon which the defend
ant in. this episode this week sought to
Impeach Mr. Wiley's testimony took
the form of a quibble as to the appear
ance, in' the original 'transaction, of
any sum of money. The druggist
cialmed that he had, In the case In
point, "treated" the quartette of Sun
day soda drinkers; and that Wiley,
therefore, had committed perjury In al
leging that the transaction involved
a sule. Instead of accepting payment
for the soda water In question, the
druggist virtually averred that he paid
for It himself, through profit and loss,
and upon this trivial quibble he seeks
to Incarcerate a young man, hereto
fore of honest character and good re
pute, In the penitentiary. The tradi
tional difference between twecdledee
and tweedledum was as wide as from
here to.TImbuctoo In comparison with
the actual difference in fact between
what Wiley swore he saw in Ryan's
drug store and what Ryan himself ad
mlts took place there, Yet upon this
microscopic technicality It is seflously
proposed to subject a well-meaning and
uptight young man who, if In fault at
all, was in fault through his eagerness
to do his duty as he saw It to the
stringent penalty provided by law for
those convicted of perjury.
The Jury before whom this peculiar
case was tried, after twenty-tfour
hours' deliberation, failed to agree upon
a verdict. We are ashamed to think
that our Jury system permits to enter
a Jury box even one man so lost to falr
nessorintelllgenceas to require twenty
four hours to reach a conclusion after
contemplation of the foregoing facts.
The presence of such a man on a jury
In Lackawanna county is a reproach to
the county scarcely more grievous. In
Its way, than In the presence In that
county of man capable of bringing such
a case Into eoliTt.
-
The business ninn who refunds to be
a candidate for council because he "has
no time to devote to pulltics" grown
mistakes tho meunliuc of tho Invitation.
Nobody asks him to dovote time to poli
tico. What the city wanta is council
men who will not devote time to poll
tics; councilman w'lio will give all their
time, while In their ollklal capacity, to
downright, actual business.
We do not believe that Anthony Corn

his repuUtU.n liefmv la? people. Any

weigh one or two minor errors, asjum

Where to Draw tho Line.
From the Washington Post.
Laws ugainst profanity exist In many
states and nro a common feature of city
ordinances, nnd, although they aro rnrely
enforced, they aro occasionally found
helpful in preserving public order. No
person should be permitted to make him
self a nuisance anywhere. Swearing In
public places, using oaths In tho presence
of women and children, Is such a viola
tion of decency os ought to be sternly re
pressed. To be sure, there Is difficulty
sometimes In deciding what Is and what
Is not profanity, and malicious prosecu
tions occasionally occur; but nil good
things are liable to abuse. It is well,
therefore In splto of objections, to have
luws for the punishment of aggres.iivo
and Indecent profanity. "Cussing a lit
tle" anfl some emphasis In talk directed
to mules may best be left to moral ef
forts unaided by penal Btatutes.
Opposed to Compulsory Voting.
From tho Wllkos-Bnrre Record.
Tho compulsory voting Bcheme exploit
ed by certain enthusiastic reformers
will not work. It savors too much of
tyranny. A man way be a good Democrat.
The course of his party may not please
him. Hs candidates may be objection
able. Hut he's a Democrat. He doesn't
want to vote the Republican ticket. He
cannot Indorse tho Democratic nominees.
If ho votes for them he might loso his
solf-respect. If ho votes for the Repub
licans ho Imperils his standing as a Demo
crat. Clearly tho only course left Is to
refrain from voting. But here comes
these reformers,, who say: "You must
vote, whether you ltko It or not. If you
don't you'll bo fined." And they want to
tnke him by tho collar, shove him Into
tho booth and mnko him vote either for
a party he doesn't believe in or for can
didates he doesn't like. It will not do,
gentlemen, it will not do,
THE CIRCULAR NUISANCE.
From the New York Sun. : ' . v '
' The only circulars offering articles for
ale which Justify the expenditure on
them, and which can be sent out with
no dunger of provoking resentment
against them as a nuisance, are the few
which contain special information, spe
cially desired by the people who receive
them. Articles of which there is no gen
erul supply may safely be advertised in
this way, to a particular profession or to
collectors; but to trouble a man with
circulars soliciting the purchase of mer
chandise oh general sale In the trade. Is
to force on his attention mutters which
concern the sender's interest only, and
consequently to bo guilty of had man
ners. It Is poor business policy. Tho
proper place for such advertisements Is In
a newspaper, one of whose most Import
ant functions Is that of a business direc
tory. It enables the merchant to keep
before the public his name, his place of
business, and his wares, without causing
them annoyance. As part of the
news of the day, he announces to the
people generally tho articles he has to
sell, the prices and where they are on
sule. Ho does not ring tho door bells of
people's houses to thrust In unsought
nnd undcBired circulars soliciting buyers
for his goods, but puts his advertisement
In the customary business directory,
which Is a newspaper. Thero they are In
their appropriate place, and are respected
accordingly. This Is a great opportunity
enjoyed by trade because of the develop
ment of the modern newspaper. It brings
the merchant and his business before the
whole public and gives to both the con
sequent distinction. The circumstance
that the trade or nouses which advertise
me moni largely anu persistently in me
newspapers Is always greatest, prove that
the public Is Interested In such announce
ments when they are put In tho vehicle
to which society now naturally looks for
Information.
