And the end is not yet.
No, Anxious Subscriber, It Is not
known what dimensions a violation of
the liquor law In Lackawanna county
would have to assume in order to be
visible to. the naked eye of the average
constable. The matter Is purely con
jectural, hence estimates vary.
The Liquor License Problem.
In the last legislature it will be re
called that Senator Hackenberg. of
Northumberland, following out a sug
gestion of Hon. R. V. Archbald, of this
city, Introduced a bill creating a per
manent, bi-partisan, appointive liquor
license commission of ten persons
learned In the law, the duties of which
were elaborately denned. These judges,
five from each party, were to serve
ten years, each at an annual salary of
$5,000 a year and traveling expenses.
One from each party was to retire each
year and no Judge who had served a
full term of ten years was to be eligible
to re-appointment. The state was di
vided Into twenty-four license districts,
with the dates of the licenses so ar
ranged that two of the ten judges could
reach every district annually. It was
provided that one Judge, when assigned
to a certain district by the presldiit
of the commission, should summon to
his assistance a Judge of different faith,
but no judge could sit In the district
' 'Wherein he resided, nor be assigned
two years successively to the same dis
trict, mor be succeeded in any district
by a judge of the same political party.
The duty of these license Judges was to
l)e similar, In the main, to the duty of
the Judges of our 'present license courts,
except that eacli Judge was to be re
quired to personally examine the sev
eral premises for which licenses were
asked, to ascertain their fitness for the
accommodation of the public; to Inves
tigate the necessity for the license, and
to make inquiry as to the character
of th,e several applicants. For some
reason, this proposition failed of enact
ment, and word has been passed down
from those high In influence that the
present legislature will be equally un
favorable toward not only the Hacken
toerg bill but also toward any other
measure contemplating the material
amendment Of the Hrooks high license
Jaw which, In Its present form, upon
the authority of Senator Penrose, "has
practically eliminated the saloon In
fluence from politics."
We lo not know that Senator Hack
enberg's bill will be re-Introduced; but
It la significant, lit this general direc
tion, that the State Liquor league has
recently sent out word from its Phila
delphia headquarters urging Its mem
(ben to fcraee themselves for another
legislative battle. Enclosed In, the let
ter of the league is the draft qf a pro
posed memorial of the league to the
legislature. It sets forth thiV
The petitioners have been Informed that
certain bills will be. Introduced Into the
legislature for the purpose of changing
the present method of granting licenses
by transferring it from the courts to nn
excise commission; that such a change
would work great harm In the adminis
tration of the law and regulation of the
sale of liquor; that the people have Im
plicit confidence in the judges and In the
administration of the liquor law by them;
that an excise commission would likely
become a vehicle of political power, and
the petitioners ask that the bills about to
be presented be rejected; that the license
act be so amended that residents of the
cities of the first and second clusset shall
be divided into three classes: those do
ing a business of $40,000 a year or mora to
pay $1,000 ylicense, business of $25,000 shall
pay SWoYaiid others 1300. In third-class
v xltlos thre are to bo three classes, graded
accordlg to their business anl to pay
fi'omKiOO to (150 license. The license
monef, as now, Is to be apportioned
amonA the state, cities, boroughs and
townsnips. A feature of the proposed bill
Is to allow the selling of liquor ufter 7 p.
m. on election days, and after 1 p. m. on
Sundays, as In Germany. For violation
of tha liquor laws fines are provided, but
no Imprisonment, while the present law
requires fines and Imprisonment. The
proposed bill Imposes a fine of (20 to $100
and Imprisonment of ten to sixty days
upon minors who misrepresent their age
for the purpose of procuring Intoxicating
liquor.
' This letter and this memorial would
seem to give ground for the conclusion
that the advocates of the Hackenberg
bill, far from being discouraged at
their rebuff two years ago, will soon
renew the flgtit for the Incorporation of
(ts essential principle Into our statutory
law. This, regardless of the discovery
by Senator Penrose that the liquor
business in Pennsylvania Is no longer
possessed of the desire or the power
to exert an Influence upon politics,
1 The Tribune has no disposition now
to subtract a syllabi from .the Indorse
ment whloh It extended, two years ago,
to the proposition that the law Judges
of our county courts have enough to
T do without taking upon themselves the
delicate burden of apportioning out li
censes for the sale of intoxicating
drink. We appreciate fully the abuses
which might develop under an ap
pointive system, should the guberna
torial head of that system prove to be
unworthy of his high responsibility.
But such abuses would not bo likely to
last more than four years at one time,
while under the present adjustment of
the license problem, abuses of the spirit
and Intent of the Brooks law, In some
sections of the commonwealth, are al
most perpetual. The state, In licensing
the liquor traffic, assumes a responsi
bility for the evils growing out of that
traffic which Is poorly discharged when
the staite requires the same Judge who
issues licenses to sit In the trial of cases
growing out of such licensing of a busi
ness that constantly breeds disturbance
In the community. If the state liquor
league were shrewd, It would not op
pose the establishment of an excise
commission; for such opposition puts in
the hands of the udvocates of the Hack
enberg plun a Btrong presumptive argu
ment that the proposed commission
would work distinct improvement In
the condition of t'hc public morals. Not
only that; It also tends to shake the
conflQence of tho people In Senator
Penrose's assertion that politics and
the saloon influence have been llnully
divorced.
We defy any man to be pious on an
icy sidewalk.
The city should give no valuable
franchises away. When It loans them,
In behalf of the people, It should some
how get a fair equivalent.
-
ftiind men fur councils would save
the taxpayers of this city many anxious
hours.
That New Valley Ordinance.
We learn from the Elmlra Telegram
Shalt "there is a g'IganiUc scheme before
councils Just now." That "scheme," ac
cording to our contemporary, conalats
of "giving itihe rigilut of way of nearly
every sbrecit in the olty to the Valley
Passenger Company." The Telegram
suggests that somebody protest, The
Tribune preferred.
Before doing tStia suppose we flrsf
ascertain the facts. When the Val
ley Passenger company leased Its
chumter and franL'hists to t'he
Scranton Traction company for a
good, round sum, tine latter com
pany Ihougiht iit was getting some
Ithiing itha.t would hold winter. It after
ward discovered t:ha,t the charter Was
defective, and In order to correct tihose
defects it finds 'tlhiat a new ordinance is
neoeastaxy. This new ordinance 'Is a
dupHcaite of .tlhe old one, with the excep
tion tih'.nt 4t Includes a route to Peters
burg from tho Nay Aug line along Prea
ccift avenue; a route to Con.ne-11 park
and tlhe rlghlt ito cross tihe South Side
bridge. Tlhe mew ordinance, we under
stand, carries wiHh tt no release from the
city's fundamental prerogative of 'taxa
tion. Councils may at any itlme levy
such taxe3 upun itihe cars and equipment
of itihe operating company as will com
pensate the c!lty for the new privileges
accorded to that company. It Is because
we bulieve thait councils phould exact
sudh compensatory payment, and be
cause we have I'lttile fuiith that the pres
ent councils will do this, that we tire
striving to aid in the election of upright
bualmas men to councils.
Precedent tva s fully fortified the right
of the people to lhave uncap street rail
way transportation. If councils do not
safeguard that light by the Imposition
of adequate taxes and restrictions, the
fault Is clearly with the people who
elect sue h councils.
It is related of a local expounder of
the faith cure doctrine that In the midst
of an eloquent sermon declaring that
all disease was but the creature of a
perverted will, he suddenly paused to
wipe his spectacles so as to be ablo to
continue the readlng of his manuscript.
A skeptic In the audience wondered If
weak eyesight was a subject of faith
cure, but he doubtless overlooked tho
Inevitable disparity between precept
and practice. The mote In one's own
eye Is often the unsusppcted cause of
the mountain that appears to Joom up
In the distance.
Establish a Permanent Census.
It Is announced upon the authority of
the acting superintendent that the of
ficial census of 18S0 will be completed
by March 4, lb5. This, to be sure, Is
a gain of two or three years upon Its
predecessor. But the Interval cjapslng
between the enumeration of popula
tion und the ending of the census work
Is yet much too long. In this day peo
ple do not care to wait five years for
information as to the condition of
things half a decade earlier. In the
Ave years that it now takes to compile
a census, there Is such rapid growth
that when the compilation Is at last
complete, It refers not, to the living
present, but to the ancient past.
The census in many details Is like a
newspaper; It should be a bird's eye
review of the activities of the day pre
ceding its publication. Its news must
be news, not history; it must benefit
the present by holding a mirror up to it.
There Is only a languid interest in
these days In statistics which are five
years behind the time's. In our own
locality, for instance, we kno that five
years have witnessed a material
change; that instead of having the
75,000 population credited to us In the
last cenBus Scranton toduy has 103,000
and Is rapidly growing; andthat Lack
awanna county, Instead of falling
underneath the 150,000 population mark,
as would appear from the census fig
ures, Is at this moment nearer 175,000
than 150,000 In population. If a like dis
parity exists throughout the country
between facts as the census pictures
them and facts as they really are, the
exaot value of the census of 1890 would
readily fall far 'below the popular esti
mate of that value.
The obvious solution of this problem,
it seems to us, is to put the census upon
a permanent, non-partisan basis, and
make its labors continuous. Ten-year
enumerations are too wide apart; the
publlo is accustomed to greater speed
In the details of its service. A perma
nent census department could without
difficulty find suinclenf work to do to
keep it busy every secular day in the
year and every year in the calendar.
Suoh a department, properly organized
and manned, would be an Invaluable
auxiliary to the educational processes
of the United States, whereas , the
present hop-sklp-and-Jump system of
decennial census-takings Is at best lit
tle more than a desperate attempt nt
the scientific enumeration of facts.
It will not bring a blush of honest
pride to Lackawanna county's modest
brow to learn, upon the authority of
our able constables, that our percent
age of good behavior with reference to
the liquor law Is an even 100. But what
beautiful, and consistent understudies
for Ananias some of those constables
would have made!
The inherent weakness of our boasted
civilization discloses Itself every time
rain falls in winter and freezes on the
sidewalks.
The constables of this county who
cannot see any violations of the Brooks
law hereabouts should consult an ocu
list. Man is the creature of the food ho
eats. A pure food exposition is one
sU'p toward a greater and better Scran
ton. LEGISLATIVE TOPICS.
Need of Compulsory Kducntlon.
Pittsburg Commerclnl-Oasette: "The
very moclerateand Just measure which was
pussed by the lust legislature, huvlng for
its object the education of u class of chil
dren growing up In Ignorance and neglect,
was vetoed by Governor Puttison for
reasons deemed sufficient by him, und In
his recent message he takes occasion to
declare against the principle of compul
sory education. He probably foresaw
thut If the present legislature re-enacted
the measure which he defeated by his
veto, his successor In the executive chulr
would muke it a law by his signature,
lie cun hardly hope to 'prevent Its puss
age simply by reasserting his disapproval
of the principle upon which It was bused.
The bill which Governor Puttison vetoed
wns not harsh or unreasonable in its pro
visions. H recognized the rights of pa
rents to the services of their children, but
at the sume time It Bought to secure to
those children and to society the rights
which can only be obtained through their
education. To require that children of a
certain uge should be sent to school ii
sufficient number of weeks each year to
enable them to gain a knowledge of tho
elements of a common school training
was the least the state could do for a
cluss that Is being greatly neglected. It
Is not only a great disadvantage to a
child of the state to grow to munlfood'
without knowing how to read and write,
but the ignorance and incapacity which
such a condition imposes are menaces
against Intelligent citizenship and good
government. Popular education Is bused
upon the common welfare. It is to pro
mote the best Interest of the whole peo
ple that millions of dollum are spent an
nually In the maintenance of our free
schools. If It Is worth while to make edu
cation possible for ull, even to the humble
and the obscure, it Is certulnly unwise to
stop short of the requirement that those
children most In need of schooling shall
have at least enough of It to keep them
out of tho cluss of Illiterates. We havo
founded a republic on the basis of free
representative government, and as one of
tho states of the nation Pennsylvania
should leave nothing undone which is
necessary to qualify every citizen for an
intelligent use of the suffrage."
The New Tax Hill.
Pittsburg Dispatch: "Tho Impression
produced by a reading of the published
summury Is that It Increases the taxation
on corporations. This is to a certain ex
tent the result of sections In which tho
diverse and Incongruous methods of as
sessing corporate tuxes are revised Into
a clear and uniform assessment on a
single valuation. A case of this sort is
taxation of corporations for transporta
tion. I'nder the present luw these cor
porations were taxed In three ways, viz.,
on capital stock, gross earnings and bonds
held within the state. V'ndor tho pro
posed law they will be assessed at the
market vulue of their stocks and bonds,
from which deductions are mude for the
purpose of uvoidlng double taxation or the
taxation of exempt property, and as tho
result a tux of four mills Is levied on the
proportion of tho mileage of tho corpora
tion within the stute. There are features
In the bill which are likely to arouse
corporate opposition. But as a fulr and
uniform measure for deriving revenue
from the creutures of state legislation
whose operation extend beyond county
limits. It is probubly the most carefully
drawn and consistent measure ever pre
sented for enactment In this stute."
Our Kouds and Our 1 orcsts.
Reading Herald: "Tho continued pros
perity and the absolute safety of the
whole country depends upon these ques
tions. It enn be demonstrated, beyond the
possibility of a doubt, that a continu
ance of our present neglect of tree plant
ing and forestry will, in time, cause tha
greater part of the United States to be
come practically a desert, while neglect
of the road question, ami a consequent
conttnuunce ot the present expensive
methods of rural transit, will prevent
any considerable revival of prosperity
among the rural population. In the mat
ter of forestry In this stale, the legisla
ture is fortunate In huvlng already em
ployed the very best expert engineer and
botanist of tho forestry commission.
They huve presented such data upon the
subject as should enable the legislature,
should It feel disposed, to make a good
beginning In forestry legislation. In the
matter of roads, also, the legislature will
huve a considerable range of choice
among the numerous bills that have been
prepured by those who have given the
subject attention, und If thut body Is not
too much engrossed In Jobs to give suffi
cient of Its time to tho bills that are pre
pared by Its working members we may
look for at least a start, both in the for
estry and road question."
The Iluildlng Association Tax.
Norrlstown Heruld: "It Is stated thnt
tho revenue commission, which Is en
gaged in the preparation of a report to
be submitted at tho present session of the
legislature, proposes to revive the odious
tax on building associations. The prin
ciple of exempting them from taxation
wus udopted in the past in order to en
courage the hublt of saving among work
Ingmen and women, and thus enabling
them to acquire homes. This policy hus
done much to establish huhlts of thrift
among the people of the stato and It
ought to be continued for all time to
come. The members of building associa
tions are taxed In a hundred ways, di
rectly or Indirectly, and the Rtate, with
an overflowing treasury, chould be able
to get along without this tux. To Impose
It Is to strike a tremendous blow at habits
of thrift and economy among working
people."
Tho Proper Argument.
Philadelphia Record: "The coming elec
trical question In Pennsylvania Is: 'Si'.ull
the electrical railways bo permitted to
curry freight?" Of course, the owners of
railways operated by steam will Insist
upon their monopoly. Hut the argument
that pushed aside the horse to muke way
for the, locomotive muy be used In turn to
substitute electricity for steam. It Is the
publlo advuntuge which must be consid
ered." . .
An r.X'Cnndldnto Speaks.
Philadelphia Record: "Tho people of
Pennsylvania have observed that In re
cent years the senate has become a har
bor of legislative jobbery and corruption,
and they have doubtless Imagined that by
providing liberally for Its physical lus
tration they might also secure In some
degree Its legislative purity. Should such
expectation be realized the expenditure
for the epicurean baths of the senate,
which Hellogabalus might have envied
would not have been In vain,"

From the Louisville Commercial.
The fact Is that no policy was ever more
thoroughly vindicated by a popular ver
dict than "McKlnleylsm" was by the elec
tions of 1894, and the politicians and Jour
nalists who are Incapable of recognizing
that fact relegate themselves to the ranks
