The acceptance, by James A. Lans
ing; and Luther Ktdler, of a call from
many prominent citizens of the Seven
teenth ward to become candidates for
select and common councils respective
ly, will gratify friends of good local
Kovernment. These gentlemen ure well
known for their personal integrity,
their business ability and their ac
quaintance wish the needs of their ward
and of the city. The fact that they are
not active candidates, in the sense of
reekng olllce, Is an additional reason
why the property interests of this In
fluential ward should grasp the oppor
tunity to insure the presence In coun
cils of such capable representatives.
The Fault of the Voters.
The overshadowing problem before
the American people today Is how to
cleanse the fountain-springs of govern
ment; how to get good and true men to
occupy local olllce. The remark of
Judge (iunster In relation to grand Jury
criticisms of the Lackawanna cn-
stabulary In Its proverbial Inability to
discern excise violations bear.i incident
nlly upon this question, lie said that
the matter of reporting- liquor law vio
lations lay with the constables who
took sworn oaths, us do the judges, to
support the laws and constitutions of
the United States and of Pennsylva
nia. If proper men are not elected
constables that is the fault of the
Voters. The court can not go back of
the constable's returns.
Here we have the whole Issue In a
sentence. If good men are not chosen,
of a truth, it "Is the fault of the voters."
This Is as true a sentence us was ever
tittered in the Lackawanna court house.
And It applies, not alone to constables,
but to every man who in any olllctul
manner has to do with the condition
of local law-enforcement and of local
public enterprise. We should like to
know, if it were possible, just- how
many citizens of Scranton realize the
real significance of this remark? How
many comprehend, and as electors act
upon the knowledge, that a councilman
by all the rules of business measure
ment, 13 at least three hundred times
as Important an official, with refer
ence to his power for good or local mis
chief, as Is a congressman of the
United States; and at least one hundred
times more important that a senator or
a representative at Harrisiburg? At
first flush It seems incredible the as
sertion that a constable or a ward
assessor Is of infinitely more conse
quence to the Scranton owner of prop
erty, In his powers of official contact
with that property-owner, than is the
president of the nation or the governor
of the commonwealth but Is it not
true?
Yes, it la the "fault of the voters" if
local government is not what It should
be; and It la high time that the voters
of Scranton, whenever opportunity of
fers, were trying to correct that fault
by the election to local olllce of the very
best available men.
Announcement la elsewhere made of
the candidacy of C. S. Seamans for the
common councllmanship In the Thir
teenth ward. Mr. Seamans Is an ener
getic and upright business man, fami
liar with the ward and the city, and his
selection at Saturday's delegate elec
tion would Insure for the property-owners
of the Thirteenth Intelligent and
capable representation.
St. Joseph's Foundling Home.
The recent annual report of the sec
retary of St. Joseph's society, Mrs. P.
J. Horan, Is a document which every
charitably inclined person should read
with care. After reviewing In detail
the year's work of this Invaluable
charity, and explaining how, although
insufficiently supplied with funds, a
great and a noble year's record was
achieved In caring for the motherless
little ones who find shelter lu St.
Joseph's Foundling home, the report
contains the announcement that this
year membership cards have been is
sued with a view to extending the so
ciety's sphere of usefulness throughout
the diocese and adds very truly and
Also very gracefully:
Scranton possesses many noble chari
ties, each urging Its claim upon the great
public heart, yet we can say with grati
tude that St. Jospeh's home has nevor
been forgotten by our Catholics nor by
the benevolent Protestant in whose broad
mind sectarian barriers have no existence.
Hut what Is the charitable Catholic, or
Protestant but the agent of Providence
for perfecting the divine plan? Before
concluding we desire to say a few word
In behalf of the House of the .Good Shep
herd. This Institution endeavors to be
self-supporting, and when we consider the
large number of women, Irrespective of
creed or nationality, which Is being shel
tered here and strengthened toward bet
ter lives by efficient training In long neg
lected morals, and those womanly indus
tries so conducive to virtue and happiness,
as worldly people we murvel ut the hercu
lean task to which this noble order has set
Itself. The philanthropic lady Interested
In tho elevation of erring woman may as-
slHt In n noble work, and serve well her
own interests by sending a share of her
sewing to this house, which in Its exquis
itely wrought needlework is without a
rlvul in Scranton.
We aro glad to believe .that In this
generous city charity, while naturally
following the lines of church associa
tion, knows neither sect nor race; and
Is infinitely too noble to permit mere
differences of creed to Interpose ob
stacles to Its own humane fulfilment.
There is nbundant room and unstinted
usefulness In this community for every
agency of relief and reformation that
human liberality can organize and
equip. Certainly, no liberal Protestant
will fall to wish Godspeed to the mag
nificent work conducted under the aus
pices of St. Joseph's society: nor stop
to cavil at the theological complexion of
the hand that reaches out to rescue the
homeless and the fallen.
The Seventeenth ward represents a
large share of the wealth of the clly,
and In striving to send to councils two
such representative business men as
James A. Lansing and Luther Keller
it is simply trying to protect its own.
Hut the Seventeenth ward is not alone
lu this desire. There is no ward which
does not need a representation of busi
ness brains, business candor and busi
ness probity In councils. The action of
the leading citizens of the Seventeenth
Is an example which citizens of nil
the wards should Consider attentively.
Practical Home Charity.
The following appeal of the Hoard of
Associated Charities, duly signed by
the proper officials, was Issued yester
day: Severe weather and Ir k of work are
again causing suffering among tho poor
of our city. The Associated Charities ure
almost overwhelmed with applications.
We appeal to our generous fellow-citizensj
for iilil 111 our systematic giving iui uni.
Money, clothing and all kinds ol provis
ions ure needed. Send contributions or
money to William T. Smith, treasurer.
Clothing and provisions may be sent to
Mrs. W. H. Uuggan, municipal biuiuing.
We doubt not that there will be, as
there clearly should be, a liberal and
prompt response ito this direct appeal.
Among tho 20,000 heads of households
In Scranton one-fourth at toast ought
to be able, If properly Impressed with
tho need of systematic relief In this
city, to give sums of money or their
equivalents ranging from one dollar
up to 'ten dullars. Such donations, If
thus distributed, would Involve little
if a.ny hardship upon the Individual
donor, and It would unquestionably
save human lives.
We do not believe 'there is one well-to-do
citizen of Scranton who, If he
thoug'ht -thait a dollar or -two, If rightly
placed, would save a human life, would
be mean enough or Indifferent enough
to refuse to save It. The Associated
Charities Is a life-saving institution.
It Is an enterprise which geiierouslv
stands between the Individual donor,
who has neither time nor facilities to
search out cases of deserving poverty,
and the large volume of want and
misery which exist in the midt of us
at nil times, and which is especially
prominent and needful of prompt as
sistance In the worklcss winter follow
ing a general business panic. It is the
agent of the one and the salvaitlon of
the other. A dollar contributed to It
Is not eaten up In transit, but goes to
tlie needy and gives to them one hun
dred cents' worth of food, shelter and
care. . .
If 5,000 Scrantonlans would. In the
next week or month,- contribute from
one dollar to ten dollars apiece, aver
aging say only three dollars, the funds
of -the association would be swelled to
the amount of $13,000, and hundreds of
now 'homeless .persons or persons in tin
last stages of economy and actual want
would be saved from pauperism or de.
spair. If such a fund were publicly
started, we believe .that there would bo
a very general desire to add to'lt. The
addition of the factor of dally publicity
through ithe newspapers would bring
the subject more effectually tp the at
tention of tihe public, and we are sure
that no Scranton -newspaper would be
grudge the space.
In charity, deeds talk. And Just now
Is a good time for a lavish display of
local eloquence along this philan
thropic line.
Our esteemed contemporary, the
Truth, very appropriately suggests that
councils, this cumlng year, ought to be
uncommonly liberal to the Albright
Free library, Inasmuch as the depletion
of the citizens' sulrserlption fund
threatens a curtailment In the purchnse
of new books. And not only councils,
but Individual friends and patrons. The
value of this library has grown upon
the people beyond the most sanguine
expectations of Its founders. It Is to
day, by all odds, the most Important
single educational Institution lit the
midst of us. Men, women and children,
of all ages and conditions, are more and
more coming to depend upon it for In
struction, for entertainment and for
comfort. Tho good that It does Is sim
ply Incalculable; and It Is diffused
throughout all classes In the communi
ty. To have this magnificent Influence
even temporarily slackened would be
an Inestimable misfortune, which we
sincerely trust may not fall upon our
city through lack of substantial appre
ciation. The drawing of a straight party line
In the PUtston city campaign next
month very probably means the elec
tion of a Democratic mayor, Inasmuch
as the city Is anywhere from 400 to 600
Democratic. With Dr. Charles J. Ilur
rett heading tho Republican column
and the present burgess, ThomnS Ma
loney, occupying a similar position nt
the head of the combined Citizens' and
Democratic forces, the contest will not,
however, lack either Interest or excite
ment. May the best man win I
The' newly elected president of
France, M. Faure, Is Unknown to
Americans, (but Isnald to be a conserva
tive and well-informed -man, possessed
of wide .and creditable experience In
public affairs. Americans will wish for
his administration success and sta
bility. Now that the Scranton Traction com
pany has secured from cosnclls pretty
much all it wants In the way of fiun-
Chlses, what is It going to do In1 way of
improving Its car service In this city?
An exchange of favors would no doubt
be generally appreciated.
Another way of meeting the liquor
problem Is suggested by Representative
Hunter, of the Indiana legislature. In
the form of a bill which provides that,
when maklnsr application before the
county commissioners for a license to
sell liquor, ithe applcant shall present
made. This Is practically local option, in
a new guise. It corresponds with tho
practice in this state of busing licenses
upon the preponderance of petitions
over remonstrances; and it puts the
responsibility for saloons upon the peo
ple who authorize them. Is not this as
it should be?
One of the prominent planks In the
last .Democratic national platform
"viewed with alarm the tendency to a
foreign policy of irritation and blus
ter, w'hlch is liable at -any time to con
front us with tliealternative of humilia
tion or war." The policy of Secretary
Qivulvam Is to accept 'all humiliation
that comes along, and feign u sickly
smile, while he Is timidly gulping it
down.
A ton-year close season for pheasants,
as proposed by the Luzerne County
(lame Protective association, would do
much to check 'the now rapid deolma
tlon of 'the ntate's wild feathered ga.me.
The need of such protection cannot be
disputed.
it Is sad to see such eminent political
trimmers as Senators Hill and Oormam
fall out over a little thing like t'he con
stitution. What Is the constitution,
that It should stand between friends?
It Is rumored that Bill Cook, of Okla
homa, talks of reforming. It Is possible
that there yet may be hope for the
Mohammedan scribe of the Wilkes
Barre Itecord.
If the new declaration of war against
the 800 speak-easies of Lackawanna
county Is this time anything more than
a declaration, let It go on to victory.
It la gravely announced In a Wash
ington dispatch that the president is
"thoroughly disgusted with congress."
Is not this sentiment mutual?
It really begins to look as If Young
America might be able to shoot fire
crackers next Fourth of July off the
Koarlng Itrook bridge.
Honest and capable men can be sent
to councils if men of the same stripe
will unite to send them.
LEG I SL ATI V I. TOPICS.
The Abolition of Cupitul Punishment for
Stculliig Decreased the Commission of
Thut Crime.
The efforts of Sir Samuel Komllly In
lMs, uml following to the duy of his death,
"to abolish the penalty of death for steal
ing from a dwelling house to the umount
or Ms ." "for stealing privately In a shop
to the umount of 5s.," ami "for stealing
upon a navigable river," with oilier bills
of like eliaiueter, were met In Knglund
with the unyielding opposition of tho
lords when these measures finally reached
the upper house. The character of the op
position ami the Influence of those who In
the attack on these bills can be well mi
ilerstood by the speech mude by Lord
Chancellor Klilon, In whose views all the
jmlgt-s coneuri-eil, In opposition to the bill
to abolish the punishment of death for
stealing privately In a shop to the umount
of 5s lu which he said: "If the present
bill be carried Into effect, then Inuy your
lordships exfieet to see the whole frame
of our criminal law Invaded uml broken
in upon. The public of Ibis country, I
Submit, ought, once for all, to know In
what the public criminal code of tho coun
try consists, that your lordships may not
time after time und year after yeur, be
distressed with such discussions us the
present." Ill the debate on the bill to
abolish the death penalty for steulln
from a dwelling house to the amount of
40 shillings, I.ufl Chief Justice Ellenbor-
ough declared: "If the theft of 40 shlll
ings from u dwelling house is not punish
able ly ileum, the property or every
householder In the kingdom will be left
wholly without protection." Yet the home
ofllee reports covering three years before
and three years after the abolition of the
death penalty for those and similar of
fences, furnish actual proof that these
learned lords were mistaken, and show
that their adherence to principles which
outraged the best sentiments of humanity
prevented that protection to property
which later and Juster luws have af
forded. Give It a Trial.
Wllkes-Rurrc News-Dealer: "Tho state
has given u long trial to the law declaring
that the punishment of murder shall bo
death, but the pi-nulty has failed abso
lutely, to decrease or lessen the numerous
crimes of thut sort. That being undlsput
ably the case from the records, why not
try a more humanlturlan plan? Wipe the
odious statute olT the criminal luws and
go to the other extreme. Let the penalty
be llxed at imprisonment for life. Mm
out of every ten murderers would un
doubtedly bo brought In guilty, and their
expatriation from the public would fid
low. To ull purposes they might as well
be dead. Housed comfortably and fed.
but away from the world, would be far
more of a severer punishment to theni
I han the Imposition of the death penalty
Every day, every hour, every minute,
would be a torture und one from which
they would gladly have relief In death
of course It Is only an opinion, but we be
lleve that In the substitution of life Im
prisonment Instead of death for the crime
of murder, there would be fewer of tho-e
crimes committed. At all events It tm.y
bo given a trlul, say for a period of ten
years, and If nt tho expiration of Hint
time bet'er results did not accrue than un
der tho old pian It could be restored."
Dcnth Penalty Not Deterrent.
Wllkes-Ilurre NewB-Dealer: "So far rs
results, tho death penalty for murder
might as well be abolished. It Is not
wild statement to make, that not ono
hanging takes plane for every twenty
deaths that occur from violence. This Is
too small to have any deterrent effect on
the viciously Inclined, and a change of tho
law to Imprisonment for life might le
more satisfactory. So long as. tho death
penally eannot be enforced, and for years
that hits been tne conuiuon in i.uxcrno, It
might us well he wiped off the statutes
and replaced with some other method."
.
Tho Corks Did Not Pop.
Harrlsburg special to the Philadelphia
Bulletin: "The inauguration was an ex
cessively dry one In so far as official 1 e-
freshments were concerned, n has here
tofore been the custom to purchase a situ
ply of wine and harder stuff In honor of
the occasion; but If any of the aforesaid
was going Tuesday, It was kept In a de
cidedly dark comer. At the last Innugi.r
atlon a bill for tl.90 worth of liquors
was rendered, and tms excited some com
ment, particularly from the enemies of
the governor."

Cnrbundule Anthracite: "It was cer
tainly a very shabby trick, that of dis
charging a Scranton editor because he
took occasion to editorially, condemn the
docking of horses' talis. This practice of
mutilating the noble horse, and subjuet
Ing him to a great deal of annoyance,
particularly in tiy season, Is condemned
by all people who have humane Instinct
and sentiments."
Need of Compulsory Education.
Olyphant Itecord: "It Is a fact worth
remembering that those who know most
about the need of education among tho
oor, are the most strenuous advocates of
compulsory education. From the days
f Cardinal- Barromoo to the present,
men who have sympathized with the ig
norance of tho lower tonth, have advo
cated compulsory education. When the
statesman Cobden, advocated before the
parliament of England a system of na
tional education, Thomas Wright, a phil
anthropist of Manchester, urged that It
hould be made compulsory, and his con
viction was established on an experience
of forty ycara' labor among prisoners, a
large percentage of whoso crimes ho at
tributed to the want of Beculur and relig
ious Instruction. And If the opinions of
reformers, who labor among the outcast
und,fallen, were gathered today, we doubt
not out mat it wouiu ue overwnoimingiy
In favor of compulsory education, as a pri
mary step in the solution of the problem
of crime and pauperism. The safely of
our republic rests upon public intelligence
ami loyalty to republican institutions,
unci nowhere are these taught as In the
public schools. If then we consult tho
tablllty of our government, we will seo
to It that every child In the land Is prop
erly taught, to Intelligently comprehend
the glorious principles underlying our In
stitutions ami loyally to uphold the popu
lar vote. This cannot be done save by
compulsory education."
THAT MEETING OF PROTEST.
Thinks It Poor Taste.
From the Wllkes-Burre Times.
It Is mighty poor taste for the Record
o poke fun ut sui-h a serious subject as a
notest agulnst the Armenian utrocitles.
An Amended Argument.
From the Wllkes-liarre Record.
We certainly agren with the Scranton
Tribune Unit the inhuman Turk should be
halted in his bloody career. But when
only SKI people out of over 100,000 try to do
ho halting It reminds us very forcibly of
the three tailors of London. If Scranton
un only summon 30U to the defense of
Christianity she'd better stop protesting.
Sarcasm from Harrlsburg.
Paragraph In the Patriot.
if the beranton people want to hold pub
lic meetings to protest uguiust the Ar
menian outrages why shouldn't they? Re
specting such meetings the Turks will oc
cupy a position similar to that of the
Urltlsh miner whose wife frequently
punched his face without any objection
on his part. When remonstrated with by
a friend his only answer was: "it pleases
she and (leant hurt I." The meetings
won't hurt unybody.
