The True Tests of Fitness.
The sincere friend of fjood local rov
rrnnii'iit, Uii' man who believes that
public moneys should' be expended und
the public' lju.liie;-"s transacted with the
Fame care, the fame discretion and the
same attention to business principles
that characterize the manajrement of a
successful private business, may today,
in a number of wards in this city, jrvo
practical expression to this theory by
voting at the caucus In his ward for
upright and capable candidates for
common or ."elect council, or both.
This 'applies to Democrats and repub
licans alike. The machinery of party is
only dangerous when manipulated for
the purposes of unlit and disreputable
men. The citizen who is a llepubMo an
or a Democrat on national is-:t!ts wi'.M
have no reason 'to reject a Republican
or a Democratic caucus Homines in
local contests provided that nominee
were; a proper and a. representative
man; And such men can be -nominated
in eltlRr party whenever the individual
members of that party assume their
duties and assert their rljfht.i.
The questions to be asked eoneerninrj
every candidate for local oUlee a Ue:-
tioii more important in luo.il aflUirs
than In the affairs of state or m.tion,
for tho reason that local government is
continually and conspicuously in prac
tical evidence while the Kovernmint
of the staite or of the nation is remote
and Infrequent in its :uly contact with
path citizen are: "Is he honest? Is
he capable? Does he deserve to be em
ployed In a responsible public posi
tion?" It does not subtract from the
Importance of mieh tests to say that
.they are often overlooked. Tho citi
zen who, knowing the importance of
good government, does not strive to
nichliive.lt Js unlit to lie-entrusted with
the privilege of suffrage. The citizen
who does not realize the importance
of good government needs earnest and
immediate instruction.
These questions liavo been asked, to
our knowledge, In several wards in this
city, and Candida f s deserving a nega
tive answer to any one of theirl will,
we sincerely itrust, be defeated at the
February elections. In at least two
wards, the pressure of public opinion
Ihns been such that practical and thor
ough bu-slness men.'although person'al
ly disinclined to seek or to hold olliee,
have been induced to consent to serve
In councils If elected. Many of ithe
men who are behind public, opinion in
this matter have rarely before asserted
more than a nominal Interest in the
filling ,of, municipal oljlccs. I'.ut this
time they are awake and In carntst;
und their example. will communicate U
Folf to others until, before the move
ment IS ended, there will be a substan
tial ipurlfication and Improvement of
tmunilcilpnl legislation.
Scranton ihus need of the best men flit
the front. Why not put them there?

Wo do not believe that It Is the pro
vince of tho public schools to make
specialists out of their graduates at
public expense. The public schools were
established for the rightful purpose of
educating the common people in the
elementary branches. Kvery new fad
loaded upon tills primary and funda
mental mission is loaded on at the ex
pense of the many for the benefit of
the few. There is no more reason why
the public should be taxed to make
some boys wood painters, wood car
vers, chemists or plumbers than to
make others doctors, lawyers, preach
ers or teachers. The great American
people, "via its happy faculty for fad
following, has leaped far beyond this
fundamental und eminently sensible
basis; but the basis Is the true basis,
nevertheless; and the faddists are
grandly wrong.

(iootl Men for Councils.
The municipality of Rcranton docs an
annual cash business exceeding $X"O,0U0.
This amount of money is received and
expended each year In the government
of our city. Kleven men In each
branch of councils, or twenty-two men
in both, control this business.' They
are the agents of the people in tran
sacting this volume of expenditure.
I'pon each man rests a responsibility
which, if it could be expressed in ilgures
at all, would certainly cqualJUD.UOOevery
year.
The question for each voter to ask, in
the choice of eouncllmen, Is whether the
man for whom he Is asked to vote may
1jl trusted to handle $15,000 or not. with
out any other bond for good behavior
than is embodied In his indorsement by
the people. Are there men In councils
today whom a wise merchant would
not thus entrust with the expenditure
of so much money? If so, clean them
out. They are not safer in a public
position than they would be in a private
one.
The selection of honest and capable
men for councils Is the supreme duty
of the hour.
The suggestion of the mayor that
councils entrust to the street commis
sioner's department a bulk sum for
street repairs, to be expended under the
commissioner's direction, is in accord
with business principles. If the street
commissioner of Scranton knows his
br.-'.ineFs, he otiirht to be a bi tter jud
of how the streets i-hould be repaired
und at what co. t than the two council
nu n from each ward. If be does not
know his busirp-rs, a change In otllcials
would be jn order. Common sense is
with the mayor on this question, al
though v.e hardly expect it to inllu-
ence favorable action on 'the part of
councils.
The (iospcl of (iloom.
Wo wonder wliat lulluencos tho
Wilkes-Darre Leader -to misstate facts
its It doc-;) in -the following assertion:
"The theory of thecompulsury educa
tion scheme Is that we shall 'have no
more Ignorant voting, no more ten
dency t i anarchism in cities, wlien all
the boys are required ito go to school,
i.r si'tkt to pi'isi.u if it hey wont go. ?
The Leudtr in tow well educated not to
know that perfection is not claimed for
any sy.-Hom dealing with fallible men
an 1 women. Is the L-ader ignorant of
the fact that the word "prison" doesn't
once appoar in either of t'he compulsory
education bills now before the legisla
ture at Ilarrisburg; or is it using that
distasteful word deliberately and
demagogically, in order, to incite un
founded opposition to those bills?
Wo 'have noted, with some interest,
the onii-soclallstlc trend of editorial
opinion lately assumed by our ednitem-poi-ary,
lint only with reference to .this
question, but In irelation to most of the.
political and social tesuesof the hour.
We gaither from it that society is' great
ly men. iced 'these days by the growing
dominance of aggregated woalth, reach
ing 'hold of power through the ignor
ance i,r the Indifference of voters. We
trint tliat we 'l.i no violence to our
coivti niixirary when we say -that Its
u.tUtudo on this point Is not far dis
similar j 'that of (leneral Kdward S.
Dragg,. the famous Wisconsin Dem
ocrat lately retired from public life,
who has Jux.t contributed the folie-'!".;
semLimi tits 'to a Milwaukee exca.-.-.i--, :
Corruption Is mi Incident to a pu-t: I'-
moeraey Hum enters and pernu-at-. s lis
every part more readily and thoroughly
Hum It iioes any oilier form of govern
ment. K has (le.ti-oyeil all the repuliliis
Hint have preceded ours, and bids fair to
do Its work lu re. Itefmnis may be minle
In name, but they will prove I he driving
off of one swarm to nuiku room for an
other. Ilrn.en corruption may be cheeked
like houses of slnime, but the canker sore
Is not cured and only seal tered, and the
evil continues, being an Incident to the
pasHlons of the race.
Contrast that statement with the fol
lowing from the Leader, and to our
mind the underlying thought Is largely
Identical in both:
llllterato voting Is not neepss.nrlly Ignor
ant voting, and Is certainly not all there
Is of Ignorant voting. Compulsory educa
tion might put an end to Illiteracy, but
would not put an end to or appreciably
lessen either Ignorance, socialism or an
archy. The Ignorant voting that Is most
In be feared Is that which Is blindly and
bigotedly pnrtisiiii, and that which puis
money unaccompanied by brains, or
money nnd brains tinaeconipanled by hon
esly ami deference to popular rights, In
hh;h places. To get rid of this, the port
of education, compulsory or otherwise,
that Is needed, In the sort that will reach
those who have long since learned to read
ami write, but have not yet learned to do
so to good purpose.
If, therefore, education tines no good,
and Itepubllcan government at heart is
merely an Impossible dream for such
seem to us -to bo the logical conclu
sions of the aforesaid premises what
does our Luzerne contemporary offer as
a substitute? Would It seriously ad
Vise the keeping of boys and girls out
of school, In order that they may es
enpe tho dangers of cducHtlon? Or
would it not rather redouble those en
ergies which have for their twofold
purpose improving the schools nnd in
surlng general attendance at them? We
believe that the latter course is tho one
i ptirpue. We do not yot accept the
inclusion thnt. popular education is
t a remedy for ifnurance; and that
this republic can neck safety along the
lino of Indifference to schools and
school-work. It is loo gloomy a view
to 'take when one is well and strong,
and not buffering from disappoint

If tho bill of Representative Williams,
of Carbon county, "making It a mis
demeanor for any firm or corporation
to prevent an employe from being a.
member of a labor organization" Is
correctly described in its title, it is a
waste of words. No man can be in-evented
from being a member of a labor
organization, If that organization is
willing to receive him. lie may be dis
charged by his employer, on account of
such membership, buthat employer
cannot regulate the man's actions after
such discharge. As for saying by law
that an employer shall not discharge
a workman for cause, that Is no doubt
a statement which the courts would
quickly decide to be unconstitutional.

The inability of the Allegheny ltar
association to decide In favor of Juilg
Arnold's bill to Introduce simpler
methods of legal procedure In this stat i
partly anises, we suspect, from a de
sire to keep the forms of law as com
plex as possible, so that lawyers will
have more work to do. The same feel
ing is sometimes manifest among phy
sicians, who have been known to veil
their professional wisdom behind big
sounding symbolism and Indifferent
'Latin. Was It not liarnum who re
marked that the American people de
light to be humbugged?

Mayor Strong, of New York, begins
his term by reinstating at the head of
the most Important municipal depart
ment a man who, for 'thirty years, lifted
not his voice against plain and palpable
police Iniquity. Mayor Strong's faith
in Superintendent Byrnes is not shared
by the people nor, It would seem, Is It

Ilarrisburg special to the Philadelphia
Kullctin: "The bill of x-CoiiKi-ossman
Amermau, of Lackawanna, requiring but
one verdict ill ejectment conclusive be
tween the parties on Wednesday received
a favorable report from a committee of
the senate. This is a measure of more
than usual importance, ami its passage is
urgently needed. The net of ISO? provides
that two verdicts in ejectment In favor of
the plaint ilT or the defendant are requis
ite to llnally deliver the right of posses
sion to real estate. It may, therefore, re
quire three verdicts to settle what should
be settled by one. If the plaintiff re
covers In the lirst case and the defendant
In Hie second case, it will require n third
trial to determine which Is the rluht of
possession. This Is an anomaly in Un
law, for in no other action or class of
cass is Ihis the law or the practice. Tills
diil not arise by reason of the value or the
importune)! of the possession, for, if this
were the reason, the trial of a man's life
should not determined by one verdict.
It Is certainly singular that to determine
the right of a dollar's worth of real estate
there should be two, possibly three, trials.
w hile to determine a man s life or liberty
one trial sufllees. it urose from the fact
that the action of ejectment was founded
on a llellon and regulated ullogether Li
the courts of common Inw. The remedy
has frequently been called a child und a
creation of the court. Thus, A, who
held the title to the laud and desired to
teeiire the possession, under the old prac
tice, went upon the land wlthli friend. It,
lo whom he made a lease for the land.
('. nnolher friend, came upon the land mi l
ejected H. II then brought his action
inainst ( , who was known as the casual
ejector. C thereupon notified 1), the real
party in possession, lo come In and defend.
If II recovered he transferred his right
of possession to A. If It was defeated he
could select another friend. K, make a
lease fu him, who could begin another ac
tion. To obviate the Injustice of these
proceedings indefinitely courts of chan
cery, after three or four actions of eject
ment upon a 1)111 of pcuce being filed by
the prevailing parly, granted nn Injunc
tion to restrain further action. This
same purpose was accomplished by the
act of Impi, which gave the possession to
him who secured two verdicts on ejectment.
The action of ejectment under the pres
ent law has censed to be un action founded
upon llotlon. The reason for tho two or
three verdicts having ceased, the law, It Is
claimed, should he abolished, and, as in
i-.ll other cases, one verdict should be con
clusive between parties."
As to Capital Punishment.
Nicholson Examiner: "Men are no bet
ter than the law, und if Hie law is re
vengeful the masses will lie revengeful
also. There Is no other cause that can
be given for executing a man. The senti
ment Is Increasing In favor of ubollsblng
this relic of biirbarlsni, und establishing
a system of punishment based upon the
doctrine or brotherly love. The object of
all punishment should lie to make evil
doers belter, nnd not from a spirit of re
venge. The old Idea that hanging n mur
derer defers others from a like deed Is tho
height of folly. There Is nothing to prove
that any one ever stopped to think about
tho consequences of his deed. Murder I.,
on the Increase although capltai punish
ment is tho law. One of the strongest
argument In favor of Its repeal Is tho al
most Impossibility of getting u Jury to
convict n person of murder. Sentlmental
Ism cannot be Ignored by legislators any
more than those who listen not to their
liner Instinct."
1 avors Compulsory I.Jucntlon.
Plttston Giusetle: "In view of the fact
that the subject of compulsory education
Is to occupy n pruinincut place In the
i'eiiiipylvuula legislature during the pres
ent session, legislators nnd cltlsens gen
erally of this stale will view with mom
than usual Interest the operation of
the compulsory education law that
went Info effect In New York with the
opening of the new year. Many of the
provisions of the New York law are sim
ilar to those proposed to be established In
our own state. The one provision which,
above all others, will bring about n rlald
enforcement of the net Is thut which lie
prlves school districts widen full to en
force It of one-half of Its state appro
priation. There Is no getting mound the
fact thnt the tendency of the times Is In
favor of compulsory education,"
Juries Will Not Lnforcu nn I'njtist l.nw.
In lt'J only H per cent, of those who
committed homicidal crimes suffered Ihe
extreme penalty of the law. In 1S91 only 2
.per rent. Buffered that penalty. -I'liles
have virtually nbollsheil capital punish
ment. The law Is In contempt. Certainty
of punishment hns reached Its minimum.
The almost' certainty of acquittal makes
the law of lio restrnlnt to the commission
of crime.

THIS PRESENT MONTH.
From the Chicago Herald.
January is one of the months added to
the calendar by Numu I'omplltus, the sec
ond king of Koine. He named It after
Janus, that celebrated ilelty who had tho
faculty of looking two ways at once, re
trospectively and prospectively. Jt Is an
admirable name for a month In which
people usually employ themselves In con
sidering both the past and the future.
In the French calendar It was culled Nl
vose, the snowy month. It was not until
17"i3 that Junuary became the lirat month
of the year In Great Mrltnln nnd her
colonies nnd the Gregorian calendar wus
adopted. Prior to that time the year be
gun on March 25. The change was brought
about by parliament under the leader
ship of Lord Chesterfield, and for a time
caused great excitement among the Ig
norant, who Imagined that parliament
had robbed them of three months of the
year, because the year 1751, which hud be
gun March i", was made to end Dec. 31,
thus containing only nine months.
January is the birth month of a long list
of dlstiUKUishcd men whoso names will
long be remembered. Among them are
Francis itai-on, I'Mimmd Durke, Mon
tesquieu, Franklin, Webster, Cicero,
Frederick the Great, Gouveneur Morris,
Alexander Hamilton, Aaron liurr, John
Hancock, Stephen, Decatur, General
Wolfe, Marshal Xey, General Lee, Gen
eral Stonewall Jackson, Landor, llyron,
Hums, loe, Miillere, .Mozart, St. Pierre,
Thomas J'hIiih and a great number of oth
ers almost equally well known. Webster,
whose statue was recently unveiled at tho
capltol in Washington, wus born Jun. is.
The 1'lst of January Is SI, Agnes' Day, nnd
for this wo should be grateful, if only for
Keats' splendid poem, "Tho F,ve of St.
Annus." Jan. i"i will always be remem
bered far and wide as the birthday of Ilob
ert Jiurns. Jtds nearly a hundred years
since that unhappy poet passed from
earth, but his name gains brightness with
each succeeding year.
The Mcaruiiguu Ciiiuil.
From the Minneapolis Tribune.
The men who have sunk their money in
the Nicaragua enterprise, and who now
find the concession an elephant on their
hands, are perhaps not to be blamed for
seeking to get Uncle Sam to step In anil
take the load off their shoulders, lint
they are blameworthy for seeking lo rope
the government into a partnership with
tho projectors of the Union and Central
Piieltls railroads, In which the projectors
pocketed millions und the government Is
left with un uucolleetable debt on Its
hands. It might perhaps be advisable for
the United States to build the Nicaragua
canal, but It should not be entered upon
until after thorough surveys und esti
mates have been made, und then It should
own the whole work and not go Into part
nership with or guarantee the bonds of
a private corporation.
Our Great and Good County.
From the Carbondalo Herald.
It must be a source of great satisfaction
to tho good people of this county to learn
from tho reports of the constables that
there are no violations of the liquor laws in
Lackawanna, in this great county mo
ally und physically great there is not a
single place where liquor Is sold without a
license; there is not one instance of u
minor buying intoxicating drinks, and the
county on Sunday is us dry us u blast
furnace. Truly we are to be congratu
lated, but in the general rejoicing let us
not forget the constables to whose vigil
ance this state of affairs is mainly due.
III cad .Monopolists.
From the New York Tribune.
With flour cheaper than ever before,
wages down to the lowest notch ntul the
use of labor-saving muchinery, which nin
terlally lessens the cost of production, the
price of bread to the consumer is still us
IiImIi us It was two or three years ago.
The condition of affairs Indicates that
bread will not be any cheaper until there
Is a large reduction in the unholy greed
of the monopolists who control Its pro
duction. THE FIRST SKiNS OF SPRING.
For The Tribune.
There's a balmy breath In the morning nlr.
The sheep are off to the hills.
The willows are reddening down by the
creek.
And green blades fringe the rills;
The carrioii crow caws loud to his mate,
And the peewee's plaint 1 hear,
While the curling smoke o'er yon sugar
grove
Denotes that the spring is near.
