The .nomination, by tho Republicans
of the Thirteenth ward, of a clean busi
ness man like Charles S. Seamans for
common councilman would command
the support of many citizens who have
mo Inclination to support a less credit
able nominee. Cleanse common coun
cil. To the Pennsylvania Legislature.
The legislature which assembles at
HarWsburg today upon the threshold of
a new year" will be confronted by no
prayer duty than- that of enacting a
wise and comprehensive measure pro
viding for compulsory education. If all
else that needs to be done by It were
placed in one side of a balancing scale
ond this duty ,placed In the other side,
the balance would swing unmistakably
In behalf of Che Farr bill or Its equiva
lent. Another Important duty before this
legislature will be that of enacting Into
operajt&ve law the general sentiment In
fa,aJr of better country roads. A num
'fier of methods have been proposed, the
latest being a comprehensive measure
drawn up by Senaitor Fllnn, of Alle
gheny, of which we shall speak at a
future time. It Is clearly within the
ability of this session to adjust the de
tails of tills needed reform; and tha
eople will expect definite progress
along Uvl line.
Questions of apportionment and tax
revision we shall, at another time, also
treat at length. They are Important,
but not to the d-.'gree which would Justi
fy the dedication to them of exclusive
attention. The demands of class Inter
ests for special legislation likely to be
neither few nor unimportant should be
considered conservatively and with a
due sense of the rights of the masses of
the people, which seldom employ In
their championship expert lobbyists
end resident legislative committees.
In matters Involving the appropria
tion of atate funds. It is well to remind
this legislature that although the state
now has $4,000,000 of idle funds In Its
treasury, this amount will be none too
we to cover strictly prudent and
itlmaJte. needs. The state's routine
lenses are growing with very nollce
e eteadlness. Measures asking for
ney merely because there Is thought
be money for the asking should be
efully eliminated from the list of
Is 'Chat are to become laws.
pie demand for a short Bcsslon is
londary to the demand for a cltun.
:.e and straightforward session's
rk. If that work can be properly
good; but if not, the arbitrary appoint
ed limits should be unhesitatingly Ig
nored. In conclusion, the schemes of
the politicians deserve 'to be, at every
point, subordinated to public Interests
and the public welfare. The progress
of public sentiment- Is 'not '"backward
toward legislative bosslsm. It Is for
ward toward 'honest Independence, and
It is progressing at no trivial pace.
The gambling evil and the social evil
lave survived a good many attempts
t their extirpation. The most that
can yet be done In the direction of re
forming them Is their honest supervi
sion by vigilant policemen.
Compulsory Education.
"It Is proper to call attention to the fact
that while tho compulsory education fad
dists are trying to stir up a campaign in
behalf of their special hobby the papers
of Philadelphia arc full of complaints
that the Quaker City has not nearly enough
schools for the accommodation of those
who are clamoring .for entrance. It Is
also stated that many of the buildings
now In use have become so unsanitary
through overcrowding that they must ho
torn down and rebuilt or others built In
place of them." Scranton Truth.
What, pray, Is the Truth's point?
If the financial government of the
schools of Scranton were vested, as Is
that of the public schools of Philadel
phia, not In one central board of con
trol, -held directly responsible to the
(people, tout in an Indifferent and un
wieldy 'body of councils, we should
probably have the eame ' trouble here
that they are having at this moment in
Philadelphia. That trouble has no bear
ing whatever upon compulsory educa
tion. It Is, however, a potent argu
ment in favor of Senator Porter's bill
to consolida te and reorganize the Phila
delphia sectional school boards.
If one thing is clearer than another It
Is that Pennsylvania's educational sys
tem will be Incomplete o long as thou
sands of coming citizens In this state
' are permitted to grow, up In Ignorance.
The remedy for this condition lies In
the enactment of a thorough compul
sory school Attendance. Such a law
liat succeeded 1n other states. It will
succeed In Pennsylvania. The oppo
sition to this wise public reform Is
merely wasting Its breath in trying to
"cry 'down the resounding affirmative
sentiment of thinking people, which is
every year growing more considerable
and emphatic.
McClure's Magazine for January, at
One end of a number of uncommon
merit, gives a group of letters and
press notices commending Its "Napole
onic revival" and other enterprising
and readable features of this excellent
periodical. The foremost of these Is a
well-written letter from Mr. P. A. Phil
bin, The Tribune's scholarly Archbald
representative, Who makes the admir
able suggestion that a series of articles
by Charles A. Dana, of the New York
Sun, on his relations with President
Lincoln and the events of his time
would be a must valuable contribution
to the history of the moat Interesting
period of our 'national life. This aptly
expresses a Wiought which doubtless en
tered the mind of every reader of K. P.
Mitchell's graphic study of Mr. Dana,
in the October McClure's. The an
nouncement of the publisher of the
magazine that such a series Is under
consideration will be welcome news to
thousands of admirers of both Dana
and Lincoln.
New Year Reflections.
The day of good resolutions has
dawned again and no doubt most of us
will enter upon the new yearconl'orniliic
with the UBUal custom of making all
sorts of commendable plans In the In
terest of proposed reforms during the
coming twelve months. In thla respect
it is probable thut too many are prone
to inuke good resolutions regardless of
the teachings of the experiences of the
pust year. Ve ure too apt to branch out
upon new theories, when present lines
of action might be improved, and
allow our contemplated reforms to go
up in the smoke of extravagant im
agination instead of putting into prac
tical operation some needed system of
improvement, no matter how slight,
which In the end might prove of untold
benefit.
The city of Scranton 13 noted all over
the country as a locality of enterprise
and progress. The push, pluck, busi
ness enterprise and hospitality of its
citizens have been favorably eomment
ed upon, on every side, until it ha3
been classed as one of the leading cities
In the great commonwealth of Penn
sylvania. Business men and capitalists
of the Electric city are' constantly
reaching out for Industries that will
afd In the advancement of a greater
Scranton, and the enterprises of the
coming year are looming up In a way
that envelops with u rosy mist the days
of future development. .j
But while indulging in dreams of
coming business prosperity are we giv
ing proper attention to evils of the pres
ent, which if uncurbed may result In
disaster? Does the enthusiastic boom
er realize that a worm Is gnawing at
the heart of Scranton enterprise In the
tihape of vicious municipal legislation
that Is liable to paralyze business In
terests If allowed to thrive unheeded?
Does the average citizen realize that
the honest members of the city councils
have for years been obliged to strain
every nerve In order to hold in check a
clas3 of so-called representatives who
have no Interests save their own at
heart, who are allowed by an Indiffer
ent class of voters to Bit In the council
chambers upon an equality with decent
men and feed like vultures upon the
filthy Inducements by which unscrupu
lous persons endeavor to secure the
passage of this or that ordinance re
gurdless of what its effect might bo
upon the welfare of the public?
Thus far In the city's career the jack
als of ward politics have not been able
to obtain a foothold sufficient to ac
complish a great nmount of mischief,
but their numbers have been Increasing
and It In not dllllcult to predict the con
neuuences of turning the city's Interests
over to such a class of unscrupulous
representatives of the hoodlum element
of the valley. While indulging in pleas
ant dreams of Scranton's future, let us
not forget the evils that are sure to
prove obstacles to success. - Let the
hoiv.st voter, whatever his 'political
creed, rest not until the vicious element
has been relegated to the rear and the
bloated countenance of the ward heeler
U no longer visible in the council
chamber at roll call.
Because the politicians do not want
the present ballot law Interfered with
Is no Indication that the people yet re
gard It perfect. The party circle and
the too-eager helper must go.
A notable example of the enterprise
Which luts put the Chicago Herald In
the forefront of western Journalism wus
achieved luHt Saturday when that
model newspaper oent a special twenty
four page edition of 25,000 copies on a
special tiuln 733 miles to Atlanta, Ga.,
Which place was reached before sup
per. The occasion of this feat was the
opening at Atlanta of the Cotton States
International exposition, an event
which the Herald reported quite as
thoroughly as did any Atlanta paper.
The Chicago Idea, which has in twenty
years turned a charred village Into a
metropolitan city of gigantic propor
tions, has seldom been more conspicu
ously Illustrated. But, then, the Heruld
Illustrates tt every day.
The Philadelphia Times Is inclined to
condemn 'the legislature of 1895 In ad
vance of Its organization.' Colonel Me
Clure, Is this altogether fair?
Electricity and Agriculture.
The announcement that Professor P.
T. McDougall, of the University of
Minnesota, Is conducting a series of ex
periments to determine the effects of
electrical currents on Vlant physiology
opens up an interesting field of Inquiry.
The professor, it Is said, lias arranged
a series of boxes, one-half containing
live wires burled beneath the roots of
the plants. Ho will make careful Helen
tlflc comparisons covering such points
as the decomposition of the soil In con
sequence of electrical energy; tho ef
fect of such energy upon the soil bac
teria which form the nutrition of many
plants; and lastly the direct stimula
tion nf the plant, If any7 from the cur
rent through the roots. From these
data U will lie determined' whether
eleptrlclty shall have the field In agrl
culture' that It today occupies In medi
cine, surgery and the mechanic arts.
It is interesting, In this connection, to
note some experiments made In a simi
lar direction by Professor Jesse C.
Coles, of Kingston. . He has alrendy
achieved the grafting of a grape vino
.upon a common potato, under a similar
arrangement of electrical currents; and
while the vine hus not yet borne fruit,
Protestor Coles Is disposed to predict,
in case it does, that the fruit will com
bine the characteristics of both veg
etables. Ho bases this prediction upon
an already demonstrated blending of
the musk-melon with the peach, by
means of what may be called, for lack
of a better name, hypodermic injections
of melon into the sap channels of a
peach tree.
Electricity in. agriculture may make
important changes.
The Influence upon the American peo
ple of such a magazine as the Cosmo
politan, which circulates each month a
quarter of a million copies, is something
to be very largely considered in making
up estimates of the moving currents of
public customs and popular sentiment.
It Is no more than fair to the manage
ment of the Cosmopolitan magazine to
say, voluntarily, that Blnce its reduc
tion in price it has distinctly Improved,
until today it is equal to any magazine
in print. It is a liberal education in
literature, science, mechanics and art;
a public resource which deserves grate
ful and generous public recognition.
An excellent point Is made by the
Philadelphia Press when It commends
the ruling powers ut HarWsburg for
deciding, this session, to guard against
lobbyjsm on the part of house clerks
by "electing to the several clerkships
men who will attend to the business,
and who will not bring their official po
sitions aind themselves Into disrepute
by assisting to ndvance, suspicious
schemes or to retard meritorious meas
ures." The clerk who uses his office
simply as a personal perquisite or as a
campaign bureau for ambitious friends
Is a good person to keep In the back
ground. Tho Tribune appreciates the receipt
of the Scranton Truth's excellent al
manac for 1895, containing valuable In
formation of a political and statistical
character, about subjects both local
and national. The publication is In
thorough keeping with the accuracy
and sure-footed enterprise which lias
made ourtontemporary a dally tribute
to its wise management by Messrs.
Barrett ami Jordan.
It Is superfluous to say anything
about the Philadelphia Times' almanac
for 1S95 other than to mention that it is
now ready for distribution. The Times'
almanac Is a fixed Inntitutlon In all
well-regulated Pennsylvania house
holds. '

The Ha::Ieton Standard, a conscien

It will be the general opinion of resi
dents of this county that the law. In
the case of Franz Iiezek, has pursued a
fair, prompt and Impartial course, und
that the sentence yesterday Imposed
upon t'hls murderer wus thoroughly de
served. As a matter of political philosophy It
Is worth while to note that the man who
tries to carry water on both shoulders
Is very apt to slop over.
POLITICAL l'OINTS.
Philadelphia Times: "What the Repub
licans want is a short session, prompt
performance of all legislative duties und
a resolute stand UKutnHt every phase of
profligacy. Such u policy would command
the confidence of the people."
Three candidates are prominently man
lloned for mayor of Plttston: Burgess
Maloncy, Dr. C. J. Barrett nml Benjamin
Harding, the chairman of the Citizens' uil
vlaory committee. The selection of Mr.
Harding would Insure an absolutely fear
less and Impurtlal administration of mu
nicipal affairs. If Plltston really wants
that.
On next Saturday the Republicans of
Wayne county will hold a primnry elec
tion, anil on the following Monday a con
vent Ton to select a delegate to the next
state convention and a county candidate
to till the vacancy In congress from the
fifteenth district caused by tho death of
the late t'onRresKman Wright. It is a
very pretty light between Homer Greeno
and W. W. Wood.
Philadelphia Press: "That assessments
of real estate are outrageously unequal
has been shown many times In many
wuys. In one county a farm may be as
Hcsscd at a very low rate, while an adjoin
ing farm across the line in another county
Is assessed at two or three times as much.
This Is due to the difference in county
management and In county methods. It
la something that tho Htate hns nothing
to do with and cannot regulate."
A City That Is Famous.
From the Courier-Progress.
A Scrantonlaii away from home, no mat
ter where he may be, notes with genulno
pleasure the change In knowledge and
views of this city compared with those of
a few years iu'o. We are not only great
In fact, but also In reputation. The per
son who has not been In Scranton gen
erally knows of It. He has never boon
here, but would lilta to visit us, and will at
the llrst opportunity because he has
heard so much that Is favorable of Scran
ton and that It mut bo a progressive city.
Occasionally, of course, you meet Rome
one who does not know much about
Scranton, and has tho old time view of it,
namely, a mere mining town where people
go about with knives In their boots. Such
a one, however, won't think that way
long after a Bcrantonlan has his little
say. He Is soon mud? acquainted with the
slise of the city. Its great coal Industry,
big steel mill, silk mills and numerous
other Industries, and concludes that
Scranton Is Indeed a great city.
Just os Had Now.
From tho Washington Star.
"1 s'pose yer husband will have more
time ter tend ter the farm now," said
the neighbor who had just dropped in.
"That's one consolation, even if he Is
defeated."
"No," replied tho candidate's wife. "I

BALLOT LAW CHANGES, .
From Chambersburg Public Opinion.
The Baker ballot law as amended by
the last legislature Is a great Improvement
over the original measure, but as was held
two years, ago the very difficulties pre
dicted had to be met In the elections
which have since been held. This was the
objection to the cross In the circle as de
feating tho Intention of the voter if from
a misunderstanding he would so mark and
follow It up by making a mark opposite a
name on another ticket. The question
with election boards was whether, under
tho law, such a ballot was to bo counted.
The Intention of the voter was not taken
Into consideration in a great many In
stances, and such ballot was thrown out.
Tho Scranton Trlbuno, as will bo soen in
another column, ably discusses this fault
and other faults in the amended law,
but It is doubtful whether the legislature
will feel like undertaking any changes at
the forthcoming session. The light for
tho law as it stands, and the narrow
escape from amendments which would
havo proved far worse, will be recalled
and as with the Brooks high license law,
it may be deemed best to let well enough
alone.
It Broke llim I p.
A good story Is told of Slgnor Foil, the
famous basso. Once upon a time he was
singing "The Haft," when a childish
voice from somewhere in the stalls sud
denly piped in and attempted to organ
ize un impromptu duet. Unfortunately
the next line of the song was, "Hark!
what Eound Is that which breaks upon
mine ear?" This so tickled the fancy of
the great vocalist that he burst Into a
hearty lit of laughter and left the plat
form, followed by the pianist. Twice they
came back and attempted the song, und
finally they had to give it up In deupalr,
much to the amusement of tho audience.
Fleet Good Councilman.
From tho Wllkcs-Barre Record.
The Scranton Tribune doesn't mince
mutters in dealing with the common coun
cil of that city. It is the duty of the voters
at the coming election to take special cure
In the selection of their councllmanie
candidates. No man should receive the
votes of his constituents unless he be not
only capable of performing the duties of
the office, but fearless in his advocacy of
the welfaro and prosperity of the city.
We want men in council next year who
will be for progress, first, lust and all the
time.
It Should Be Passed.
From the Hazleton Standard.
Representative Furr's compulsory edu
cation bill is again to come before the leg
islature, and the Scranton Tribune Buys
that its passugo is almost a certainty.
While the measure has somo flaws, it
nevertheless contains the redeeming fea
ture of providing education for a number
of boys who at present are compelled to
toll for a small daily pittance.
A Suggestion.
From the Yonkers Blade.
Real ICstate Agent What shall we call
this new suburb of ours?
His Partner Let me see. What was the
name of the great Japanese victory?
Agent Ping Yang.
Partner That's It. Call the place "New
Ping-Yang, N. J."
Not at All Surprised.
From tho Indianapolis Journal.
"Well, what do you think of it?"
"Oh, I ain't surprised," said the trustee
of Hooppole township. "I knowed that
when they jumped on me for spemlln 1
ter a bridge over Smith's branch that the
people would rally to our support."
New Year's Colls.
"Wish you happy New Year,"
".Many thunks, I'm sure."
"Many calls, as usual?"
"No, 1 think they're fewer.
Staring at the carpet,
Gazing at the walls.
