The clique of city writers on specula
tlve topics which lias been recently In
flueneed to write down the anthracite
oofl trade would give better value for
its money If it would first take a
primary course In the rudiments of
that trade. Perhaps, though, this
would embarrass it, sine, It would
bring It Into the presence of actual
facts.
The Olyphant Bank Trouble.
The defense offered by Cashier Stone
of the O'lyphant bank is, as we under
stand K, thait 'he increased the bank's
capital on, ilctdtloua notes, 'Intending to
lif t thos? notes by the proceeds of the
sale of the additional stock. This uo
tlon, while a technical forgery, is not
necessarily as censurable a crime as
would hare been the diversion of the
same amount of money to the cashier's
personal account. It differs little. In
principle, from the common, form of
commeroial speculation known as stock
watering; and would be pardoned if
not applauded Jn many lines of busi
ness wheivas, In .this one, It has led to
exposure, arrest and public humilia
tion.
At the same time, it Is founded on. a
fallacious business principle, a prince
pie which is especially dangerous when
applied to banks. It assumes that an
honest 'business can be honestly trans
acted upon a fictitious basis; that a
tank may bank on asseits conjectural
rather than upon 'bona fide securities
already In hand1. This idea, we frankly
admit. Is the result of a common weak
ness In human nature. Very many of
us practice it daily, by contracting
obligations on the strength of what we
hope to be worth, at some future time,
instead of on the strength of what wa
.re really worth at the moment of the
transaction. If a thorough examlna
tlon of the Olyphant bank's accounts
thall show this to have been the only
wrong step in its management, Mr.
Stone's connection with It will Mndouiit
. ed'ly excite eympaXhy rather than vln
d'lctlveness. His deed, in any aspect,
would be censurable and the voice of
warning should be lifted against its
repetition; but In this Interpretation of
It, there Is room for honest leniency.
It la proper, .however, to point out
'the need of additional vigilance In the
laws governing the supervision of state
banking institutions. In the present
.instance the bank examiner performed
his duty promptly and efficiently, but
ir the name reason that commends

Captain John C. Delaney Is fortunate
with reference both to his friends and
to his enemies, but the latter do him
no discredit.
The success of, James R. Burnett, of
this city, as a legislative correspondent
at Harrlsburg pleases no One better
than The Tribune, of which Mr., Hur
nett was the first city editor. Ills let
ters from the capital, in the Truth and
elsewhere, are excellent specimens of
true reporting; and fully deserve the
compliments which are being paid to
them.
There are back numbers in Pennsyl
Vanla politics, but no man among them
answers to the roll call at the sound of
''Matthew Stanley Quay."
Scranton Is All Right.
The following remark by a Wilkes.
Barre paper, the News-Dealer, Is typl
cal of much loose comment about this
municipality: "Pour hundred thous
and dollars Is the estimated cost of
running ficraniton for the next year
This is a pretty eteep figure for a city
of less that 100,000 Inhabitants, and if
It is persisted in for some years the
chance of the city going Into bank'
ruptey is very good."
TheBe people who think that Scran
tonlans are abnormally taxed condl
tlon their comparisons either upon the
.village basis of government or upon
old cities 4n which the original Invest
ments for such -public conveniences as
sewers, paved streets,, municipal prop.
erty and the like .have been made and
ettled for years ago, and in which the
chief Item of expenditure npvr Is for
running expenses.
This city is young and growing. The
bulk of Us expenses Is for improve
ments and for the damages consequent
thereto, Some day these expenses 'Will
have been 'liquidated, and then look
out.
The ante-mortem statement of a
woman dying from malpractice should
bo admissible as evidence against the
author of her undoing. No woman on
the verge of eternity would bo likely
to lie; and the truth, in Buch cases, can
rarely be proved except through the
testimony of the one purty to the crime
who is at liberty to tell the truth. The
law excluding such testimony Is a di
rect shield for a most dumnable kind of
crime.
' The Price of Folly.
The collapse of the street car strike
In Hrooklyn, now practically admitted
by the strikers themselves, Is another
of many proofs that no cause can In
these times be won for labor by meth
ods of public Intimidation and violence.
s to the abstract merits of the parent
contention. It was and Is the general
opinion that the men were In the light
and the street car corporations in the
wrong. The wages earned by the men
were indecently small; those asked by
them were certainly not, according to
Amurlvari standards, exorbitant. So
far. therefore, as this part of the epi
sode is concerned, it cannot be justly
asserted that the public, through Us
newspaper press and through the com
ments of eminent spectators, was
prejudiced against the strikers
Had the difference between the trol
ley workers and the trolley owners pro
ceeded peacably along this line, we be
lieve that the former would have won,
i spite of the refusal of the latter to
submit the merits of the dispute to
Impartial arbitration. They would have
won by reason of the sovereign force of
public sentiment, which woulJ have
risen superior to written law and be
come un Imperious mandate Impossible
to be shirked. In their capacity as pub
lic creations, the trolley companies
would have been readily amenable to
the rod of public discipline and cor
rectlon; and while there might have
been some delay, the final outcome
would assuredly have been the vindica
tion of justice and the re-establishment
of the street car business In Hrooklyn
upon an approximately honest basis.
Just at this moment, however, the
tollors on these trolley lines struck
They struck nominally at their employ
ers, but the blow hit the Innocent and
sympathetic public full in the face,
causing Intense ipain. This, of itself.
would have been sufficient to turn the
tide of favorable public feeling back
Into one of hostility. Innocent men
who are hit by those for whom they
would do a good service are not likely
to remain long In a friendly temper.
But this was not all. In the wake of
the strike, like wolves hot In the chase
of prey, came forth the human wolves
of the vicinity, to Jeer at those who
tried to earn a livelihood by taking the
strikers' places; to throw stones at fel
low workmen In equal If not greater
need; and, by various similar acts of
violence and disorder, to breed, during
a time of great excitement, new trouble
and foment yet greater disturbance.
Riot, thus enkindled, liad to be put
dawn at any cost; nor can nice deport
ment be Invariably expected of those
who, at imminent personal hazard, pro
ceed to put it down. The situation,
thus aggravated, becomes primarily
one of war a war In which an innocent
public resents Imposition and a.buse
and sturdily defends its own. Sentl
ment, demagogism, all these things
that characterize the simmering period.
sink Into Insignificance before the dire
and commanding need of manly action
in defense of law and home.
This, In brief, is the history of the
trolley strike. It differs from thou
sands of preceding strikes In name
rather than in essential facts. In the
nature of things strikes are all some
what similar. They are all wars, in
which the chief sufferers are the least
guilty and In whilch the victors on
either side lose .more than they gain
Latterly, however, this one difference Is
noticeable. The Innocent third party Is
beginning, after a prolonged darkness,
to perceive its rights. It no longer
tamely submits to spoliation at the
hands of the other two. In proportion
as this fact gains rocQgnltlon, . the
chances of success for the strike as a
solution of industrial problems directly
decrease. As the case stands today, a
strike, under any circumstances, is a
foolish piece of business, from which
Intelligent labor should at all times
pray to be delivered.

Itself to the new conditions and Is even
now preparing to nestle, down softly
Into a cherubic sleep. Thus It fulfils a
prediction made weeks ago In the sa
tlrlcal publication. Town Topics, when
that clever Journal said:
With the abandonment of the active
prosecution of police otlleers the excite.
ment of our citizens will droop anil die.
Without the dally newspaper accounts o
Mr. Uoff's brilliant performances before
the Lexow committee the glee of the pop
ulace will simmer down. All will grow
quiet, the calm broken only by the merry
chink or coin, the badge of our clvlllzu
tlon.. We have been very well please
with the scandal and by the manner I
which the newspapers have handled It,
It has been as captivating to read about as
a murder, or as a whole series of murders.
Nothing slnco the dazzling perfomuncen
of Jack the. Ripper, In London, has held
our attention so firmly. Now It is a
over, however, and we look to the news
papers to amuse us otherwise. Japanese
and American atrocities are apparently
everything they have at hand Just at
this moment, but something else will be
found within a few days, in the mean
time, for heaven's sake do not let any
dollurs get away.
We are not prepared to say to what
extent Mayor Strong has contributed to
this tired and somnolent feeling among
the Ootham populace. Our own na
tion, formed after due consideration of
the allowances proper to be made in
behalf of an ofliclal in his trying posi
tion, Is that he has, In the single act of
retaining Superintendent Byrnes, done
more to disappoint public expeotatlon
than could have been achieved during
several years' full of ordinary mis
takes. The significance of that reten
tion Is, If anything, that while petty
boodlers and small fry corruptlonlsts
who probably do not know how to be
honest are to be pursued relentlessly,
the chief and central figure In a thirty-
years' stretch of police iniquity, the
polished villain in the play, the edu
cated pet of Wall street millionaires
who, while spurning to take pennies
wrung from barterers in the Bhame of
women, Is not above pocketing the
thousands that come to him In the form
of tips from the princely gamblers on
change la to be set up on a still higher
pedestal, and clothed with new laurels
and responsibilities. The effect of such
etention, coming as it does In the Im
mediate wake of the prediction that the
destruction of Tummany is merely the
trading of an old curse for a new, could
not be otherwise :llian discouraging and
disheartening. It precludes, for, the
present, any thought of securing for
Now York city an honest police force;
and negatives, In a day. the hard work
of long-years of earnest and strenuous
(formative effort. Dr. Pnrkhurst was
grandly right when he declared It to be
mpossible to "reorganize rot;" and a
police system with Byrnes in command
will have rot as Its Insignia Just as
surely as It has had It during all the
years of his past control, upon the In
controvertible principle tha.t a stream
innot rise higher than its fountain
head.
Dr. I'arkhurst's greatest light Is prob
ably just ahead of him. In his earlier
struggle, all he needed to do waB to
ay bare the facts. On their face they
carried their own comment. l!ut now
he must encounter u triple enemy. He
Is still fuee to face with the old foe,
which was not killed but only stunned;
he must allow for a sharp popular reac
tion from the tense feeling Incident to
a desperate campaign and lastly ho
must, single handed, grapple with the
wily and Insidious Influences of selfish
politicians like Thomas C. Piatt, who
have behind them, in their efforts at
misappropriating a great moral victory,
the mistaken sentiment and the formid
able machinery of a powerful political
party. It will not do simply to tell the
truth about Piatt. People are so
clouded with party prejudice that they
will not believe that. He must be
fought, fought hard, fought desperately
and with a versatility of resources
equal to his own remarkable equipment
us a politician and a. strategist.
It is likely to be a tremendous battle
against unexampled odds; but some
how wo have an Instinctive suspicion
that I'arkhurst will win. The ethics of
civilization will have to be recast If he
doesn't.
LEGISLATIVE TOPICS.
Tho Hook Compuny's Hcply.
The American Book company has pub
lished a reply to recent newspaper at
tacks attempting to show that they had
charged different prices for their books In
different parts of Pennsylvania. They
deny the charge and challengo any school
board which deals with them to cite un
Instance which shows any such discrim
ination. They explain that the obvious
reason why some districts have paid out
more money for school books than others
under the free text book law was because
some districts bought a partial supply,
utilizing the books owned by the pupils,
while others changed the books in use and
bought a complete supply of new books.
They prove by their printed contracts und
prices that the same offers were made
and accepted In all parts of the state, nud
by all districts which purchased books of
them; thaUthclr prices have been not only
uniform but as low or lower than those of
any other publishers. Taking up the
speclllc instances cited in the newspaper
attacks, they show that where different
prices uctually prevail In different places,
the books are not their publications, or,
that prices were misquoted; and In some
instunces, the comparison was unfair In
that the prices named were not for the
mine text books, but that all cases where
the same books were sold by the American
Hook company, they were sold at the
same Identical prices. The company also

Why Not lluy by Weight?
Philadelphia Press: "A bill passed the
state house of representatives lost week
which declares that the weight of a bushel
of onions shall be fifty pounds. Such bills
os these Illustrate Ihe dissatisfaction
felt with the system of sale by measure,
and the desire to make weight the stand
nrc). Wo have many such acts. A bushel
of charcoal must contain 18 pounds If of
hard wood and la If of soft wood. A
bushel of anthracite coal must contain 711
pounds; of coke, 40 pounds; of potatoes, Mi
pounds; of rye ami Indian corn, 60 pounds;
of clover seed, 02 pounds; of wheat, CO
punds; of barley, 47 pounds; of buckwheat
4S pounds; of outH, 32 pounds; of coarse
salt, 81 pounds; of ground salt, 70 pounds,
anil of flue suit, G pounds. How much
simpler, easier und satisfactory It would
lie to discard the dry measure altogether,
which litis not virtue enough to stand
alone, and pell and buy everything by
avoirdupois weight, ns Is done now In
some states, and which conduces to hon
esty und fair dealing. CiiHtom is against
It here, but nil recent legislation on the
subject favors tho use- of weight Instead
of meusure. A bill now pending In the
house proposes that eggs shull be sold by
avoirdupois weight hereafter Instead of
by the dozen, which will give the big eggs
the due advantage over the little ones
and promote exactness, even Justice, In
retail dealing."

- Abolishing Jury Commissioners.
A bill abolishing Jury commissioner's and
placing tho duly of selecting Jurymen In
the hands of the county commissioners
has been favorably reported by a com
mittee of tho state senate. The county
commissioners performed this function
for years before the present Jury com.
mlHstoners law was passed, and the last-
named law was regarded as a reform
measure. If It has not given tho beat re
suits, It Is because mere politicians have
been elected as jury commissioners. The
Philadelphia Ledger Is right In saying that
the same trouble will arise If the business
Is turned over to county commissioners who
are of the same culiber;-that the machin
ery by which our Jury boxes are tilled is
not of vast importance, and that It all
depends upon the men who manipulate It.
If Juries are not of the right sort any
where In the commonwealth the public
are primarily responsible, for they select
the men who furnish the Juries.
THE CORPORATION PROBLEM.
As Solved by Senator Cullom.
"The condition of the people changes
with every year In their wants, necessi
ties and obligations. The number of cor
porate bodies Is dally increasing. As such
corporate bodies they should be rigidly
governed by law. There should be no at
tempt or disposition to wrongfully attack
or Interfere with the rights of corpora
tions as such, but they must be compelled
to truut rights of Individuals as fairly as
they would be dealt by. The end and ob
ject of all popular government is the
good of the whole people, and it should be
the especial duty of such government to
care for and protect the rights of the
groat masses of those who toll.
"If there Is any lesson to be learned
from present depressions In trade It Is
that there is no diversity, but the closest
community of Interests among all clauses
of our citizens. The same cauBcs which
have entailed losses upon the men of
weulth and upon our great corporations
have brought proportional losses and
greater suffering to the working people.
Wliutever means we may adopt to
bring about a return of prosperity must
equally affect ull for good. The em
ploye has an eutiul Interest with the stock
holder In the earnings of the corporations,
lor he is as dependent upon those earnings
lor his wages as the stockholder lor his
dividend. As both have declined together,
so they must advance together."

Important, if True.
From the Philadelphia Times.
It is definitely known that the harbor
master and health olllcer appointments
have been hung up by Governor Hastings
until after election day. Tills Is the se
verest bldw thds far uimed at Uoss Alur
tln's domination, for he has personally
solicited the naming of Joseph Klemmcr
and Theodore H. Slulb for these places.
I'hls action clearly shows Senator Quay's
power at Harrlsburg, and Is an open
lemonstration of the fact that he Is in
the tight to a finish to bring about the
overthrow of the man who stabbed Pen

Too l ittle lluslncss in Politics.
From thf St. Puul Call.
Very often, when business matters are
under discussion among men, we hear
the remark: "That may be business, but
it isn't politics." And It Is regrettably
true that, very often business and politics
are diametrically opposed that ull busi
ness sagacity and ordinary good Judg
ment are excluded from the consideration
of party councils, and that parties array
themselves against our business Interests
on grounds of purely purtlsun expediency.
