The "Wilkes-liarre Lcador finally al
though reluctantly admits that the peo
ple of Pennsylvania want compulsory
education; but it parries the question
by pleading for more legislative delay.
AV'e ask the Leader thl3 question, which
ought to be decisive: If thirty other
American states have found compul
sory education, laws to operate advan
tageously to the public welfare, why
ehould Pennsylvania put off a similar
experiment? If such u law is worth
passing at all, it is worth passing at
once.
An Important Decision.
Now that the subsidence of the
crisis of affairs lm Brooklyn renders ex
pedient a review of the Judicial inci
dents of the greait trolley .strike, it Is
in order, to consider, with some care,
the remarkable opinion rendered dur
ing that strike by Justice Uaynor of the
supreme court. In passing upon the
application of one James Loader for
i mandamus to compel one of the ticd
Up street railway companies to operate
cars in sufficient number to accommo
date ithe travelhig public, the court
'bald:
"This corporation has a public relation
to the people und u private relation to Its
stockholders, it must not be forgotten
here, though it may seem to be growing
Wholly forgotten elsewhere, that In Its
chief aspect It Is a public corporation,
having duties to perform to the public
which transcend any obligation which, In
its private aspect, It owes to Its stockhold
ers. Though the principles ure old and in
herent in the Idea of sovereignty of the
people, It would seem that the recent rapid
growth of corporate power, and the ten
dency to use public franc hises for the ag
grandizement of Individuals llrst and for
the service and benellt of the public sec
ond, they have become somewhat over
looked and need to be restated." Then
the court went on to say that while the
directors of a private corporation may, an
tuated by greed or motives of private
gain, stop business and refuse to employ
labor at all unless labor conies down to
their conditions, however distressing, for
euch are the industrial anil social condi
tions, the directors of a railroad corpora
tion may not do. the like for they are not
merely accountable to themselves, but are
accountable to the public first and to the
stockholders second. They must not stop
their cars for an hour, much less a week
or a month, thereby to coerce the price
or conditions of labor down to the price
or conditions they offer, in respect to
the question of hours and wages between
the company and Its employes, the court
aald that It was the duty of the corpora
tion to go on and operate Its lines with
. Its full complement of men, having the
right to gradually and from day to day to
supercede its employes. If It can, by new
employes who will work on Its terms, or
to supercede them all at once when It has
obtained a sufficient number of new
employes for that purpose; but In such a
controversy it has not the right to stoo
(Its cars while it Is gradually getting
other men. Each party, the court has
held, has the right to obtain the best terms
it can, but If the company cannot got
men at a price it thinks fair, it Is bound
to get them at a price it may deem ex
orbitant because Its first duty is to
operate its road.
One of the arguments at once raised
against this ruling was that It did not
give the company a reasonable time
In which, to restore its suspended sched
ule; and by an alternative writ subse
quently issued, and made returnable in
Wrty days, the court deferred to this
argument. In his first ruling, however,
Judge Oaynor held that the claim of the
company that it was prevented by vio
lence from running its cars was not
made out; that there was ample protec
tion; and that the real difficulty was its
refusal to hire men, except on its own
conditions a policy -which can not be
pleaded against the general public
Naturally, a decision of this gweepln?
character although true In the main to
the law and to the equity of ithe case,
lias excited very general discussion, In
which censure is freely intermingled
with praise. For example, we have be
fore us two morning newspapers of
Minneapolis of the same date, each con
taining a leader upon this subject. The
Journal praises the decision as "un
doubtedly good law," and declares It to
!be ''high time" that "the rights of the
public, ithe party most interested and
the party which always suffers the most
In conflicts between corporations and
their employes, were thus, plainly and
emphatically asserted.". The Tribune,
upon the other hand, after a facetious
fling or two, proceeds to observe that a
Btreet railway company Is under obi lira
ttons to run Its cars as per schedule; but
equity win always take Into conBldera

cause of failure to run cars under such
circumstances. The municipality confer
a valuable grant In the franchise; but one
of the things which makes It valuuble Is
the protection to property wlilcn every
well ordered community guarantees, if
this protection Is withdrawn, the fran
chise becomes valueless for the time be
ing. The obligation Is a. mutual one be
tween tho company and the city. The
company obligates Itself to run cars, and
the city to protect it In such -operation,
if the city is guilty of a laches in tho
obligation It has assumed, It cannot take
advuntage of Its own negligence becauso
of Its own failure to enforce tho laws.
If such a, thing could bo done, any set of
schemers could procure the forfeiture of
any franchise by simply fomenting a
strike or riot and rendering the operation
of the franchise physically Impossible.
Judge Gaynor's interpretation of the law,
while correct In tho abstract, may nave
no application whatever 'In the concrete.
This variation of opinion Is proba
bly general throughout the country;
and it illustrates the extent to which
the public has drifted uway from the
true principles underlying corporation
grants conditioned upon the extraor
dinary law of eminent domain.
Judge flaynor'fl interpretation of the
law impresses our Minneapolis name
sake as being "correct in ithe abstract '
but Irrelevant in the concrete. In
other words, it is Just In principle, but
impossible in every day practice. Now
why thould f definition of law which,
in principle, all persons must commend
be regarded as useless in dally ap
plication? When such is the case,
something is manifestly wrong; fci
leal Justice is nothing If not uniform
and iinpai tial. Does it not appear that
the pjbllc Itself" Is in. a wrong position ?
lias it not, invthe rapid recent multi
plication of franchise grants, some
how ivrown confused as to its own
lights d:i these premises, und fallen
partly into the superstition that it has
no rights except such as are secondary
to and In harmony with ttvsseltlsh pur
poses of the holders of those grants?
The spectacle of a public dumbfounded
by so fair and palpable a 'truth as this
one of Judge Gaynor's that the holder
of a public franchise owes his first al
ljglance to the public which gave him
that franchise would be anomalous
enoup.ti to be diverting were It not that
it is too serious a thing for -levity. The
road was built upon a dl3tlnot promise
that it would perform certain public
services. It ehould perform them or
go out of business. The notion that
so suon as It gets its franchise it may
sing and ithe public whistle Is out of
harmony with both law and equity.
The Oaynor decision fharks an Im
portant step In 'the development of cor
porate power, it Is the beginning- of,
not a socialistic, but a scientific recoil
from corporate aggressiveness and
greed.
Representative Council, In a recent
letter to -the Central Labor union, wrote
as follows: "I desire my every action
watched and If I make any mistakes
I want to be told about it. I consider
my duty here is not so much to Intro
duce new bills as it is to keep a watch
ful eye on bad bills and to help to kill
them." This frank declaration lias the
right sound. There are exceptions, of
course, but as a rule .the member who
serves his llrst term tit Harrisburg
would act wisely to keep his eyes open
and his mouth and Ink-bottle shut.
The more experienced members can
generally Introduce sulliclent bills at
each session to save the commonwealth
and have several left over.
Pass the Farr Bill.
In support of a movement before the
Minnesota, legislature to secure the
enactment of it law prohibiting child
labor in factories, the Minneapolis
Tlnifc3 properly observes that "all chil
dren that come into the world ure our
oredltors, and remain our creditors
as long as they are children. They
have a right to food, clothing, shelter,
education, kind words, careful protec
tion. We are poor paymasters if we
do not give them these things."
This is precisely 'the point at issue In
Pennsylvania, In the movement in be
half of compulsory education. The
commonwealth, by legal enactment,
has decreed that children between 8 and
13 years of age shall not be forced, to
wear their young lives out In mines,
breakers, shops or factories; but it yet
permits 175,000 of itht-se children, to
roam the streets in idleness or .to neg
lect the opportunities open to them for
the acquirement of a good, common
school education. These children-are
absolved from blame bi-cause pf their Ig
norance; but what about 'their parents?
Shall parental indifference to the rights
of children be permitted Indefinitely
to throw upon society's care a large and
growing burden of illiterate citizen
ship? It Is well enough to guard the proper
rights of parentage; but has society no
rights in the premises that need pro
tection, too? Is the state unfit to be
considered in this connection? Has
childhood no claim to the care which
is denied It by callous parents?
Pass the Farr compulsory education

Representative O'Malley's Invitation
to his constituents to confer with him,
from time to time, and to keep him
posted as to their wants, is a generous
Immolation of self upon the altar of
public duty. We trust ithat Mr. O'Mnl-
ley will have no reason to regret It.
They Do Not Clash
Inquiries have come to us from rp.
dents of the WoBt Side asking If the
proposed state appropriation to the
Lackawanna hospital will Interfere
with the movement to establish a
miners' hospital in Hydu Park. Our
understanding Is that it will not. Both
enterprises have received the Indorse
ment of the State Board of Charities,
the recommendatloTm of which are
rarely Ignored by the legislature; and
since there is today nearly $4,000,000 of
surplus money lying idle In the state
treasury it is reasonable to suppose that
the Hyde Park hospital bill will receive
as favorable consideration as Is vouch
safed to any similar measure having
behind it a genuine public need.
It would be exceedingly unfortunate
to all portions xif our city if a spirit
of Jealousy should arise between these
valuable hospitals, the one performing
ft mnirnlflnent nervine In Die eentrnl
Potion of the city, and the other con-
templatlng a similar service to the In
dustrial population on the West Hide
and in the North End. Roth are needed,
and yneeded- badly. Each will supple
ment the other.- 'The- work of one will
In no wise interfere with the usefulness
if the other. If there Is any apprehen
sion In any quarter that the success of
the Lackawanna hospital appropria
tion would necessarily Jeopard the
chances of the West Bide project, It
should be dismissed as without founda
tion in fact.
The Lackawanna hospital, as the pio
neer institution of its kind, deserves the
unstinted support of every citizen of
this entire community. The Kirmess
of next week, for its benefit, should re
oelve the cordial patronage of every
resident of Scranton. The hospital,
within the limits of its now meager ac
commodations, closes its doors to none;
end in return should encounter the
apathy ;of none. But the liberal and
earnest support of this hospital Is by no
means inconsistent with confidence In
the success of the proposed miners' hos
pital for Hyde Park; and it would be
a serious error on the part of our West
Side friends to feel that their Interests
are a matter of Indifference or of oppo
sition to the active supporters of next
week's Kirmess.
The reported displeasure of the Mex
ican people at the offer of this govern
ment to assist, If possible. In the bring
ing about of a peaceful settlement by
arbitration of the boundary dispute be
tween Mexico and Guatemala Is
founded on temper rather than common
sense. The method taken by our Btate
department In expressing its peaceful
overtures may not have been fortu
nate; but the national feeling back
of It Is one not of petty Interference
but of a sincere friendliness supple
mented by a laudable wish to honor
ably avert the sacrifices of war. The
Mexican who would take offence at that
would be himself blameworthy.
Senator Uobln, the exuberant econo
mist of yesterday, does not act like the
Senator Gubiu of last week, who was
so anxious to Increase the salary of the
proposed commissioner of bunking; but
candor compels us to say he is the same
person. . .
It Is easy to criticize a poor president.
Suppose we now take a different tack,
and. first pity, .then ussist him.
One Democratic legislative district In
Lackawanna county Is ample; but the
question is, "Which one?"

The Nicaragua canal bill has passed the
United States senato after a career of
several years and debate which would
muke volumes. It provides, In a word, fo;
the guaranteeing of the bonds of a pri
vate corporation organized to construct
tho ranul. The government will be re
sponsible for the payment of $0,000,b00 Just
as it Is now responsible for the f:i3,0O0,0UO
Union Pacific bonds, with no security
whatever, the victim of shrewd btincolsts
In the guino of capitalists and fraud In
the name of enterprise. There In no one
with a spark of patriotism who does not
believe that the Nicaragua ranul ought to
be built,, and when constructed be con
trolled by the United SJates. Unless It is,
It will naturally be a formidable menace
to our commerce and to the Monroe doc
trine, for the European powers will not
long allow the rotten boroughs of Central
America to control so valuable a water
way. All are agreed to the proposition
that the United Btates should control the
canal. Then why not have the govern
ment build It? If J70.iMI.0e0 guaranteed
bonds will fall, short of constructing the
canal, will not the government be called
upon to jduee Its Indorsement on still
more bonds? and whut compensation do
we get? Possibly the same as In the
Union Paclilc deal, where worthless, prior
claims will have to be met, the road closed
out and the people who are the govern
mentwill have only the debt to show.
If the Nicaragua canal Is to be bullt'by un
Indorsement of the United States, let
tho government build It, own It, and con
trol it
