An advance of $7,500 In one month In the price of the Grant barn property rn Spruce street does not look very much like hard times. It takes a good deal, these days, to keep Scranton down. See Tomorrow's Tribune. Upon another page appears a plain statement concerning the financial con dition and needs of the Scranton Young Men's Christian association. That in stitution Is one In which every broad minded citizen takes honest pride. We do not propose to take up our readers' time In recapitulating: its advantages. Those persons who know anything about the subject know what those tidva:itages are, and how much they would be missed If suddenly subtracted from the community. A plan has been evolved to help tho Scranton Young Men's Christian asso ciation; that is, to extend Its usefulness und enlarge and improve its facilities. The details of this plan will be printed In tomorrow's Tribune. It will require, to be successful, something more sub stantial than words. It will require cash, good, sound, actual cash. Not withstanding the number of the de mands nowadays made upon the purses of our generous people, we believe that this requirement will be met. It will be met because It must be met; because Justice and right demand that it be met. Do not fail to read what we shall have to say on this subject in tomorrow's paper. The news of La (Jascogne's safe ar rival is the best news that the wires have been called upon to chronicle in many a day. Xo decent man will this morning fall to be devoutly thankful for this news. f Of Course Quay Is Loyal. The Washington correspondents have deemed it of sufficient Importance to announce with some emphasis that Senator Quay, now that he Is back from Florida, will "positively not knife Mr. Warwick, the Itepublicnn candi date for mayor of Philadelphia." This information, however. Is wholly un necessary to those who know Senator Quay. The idea that he would settle his private griefs nt the expense of his party does him an injustice not war ranted by any fact In his long career lis u most successful political leader. It Is true that Senator Quay has a fght on hand; a fight which promises, unless all signs fail, to make things un commonly lively for the opposition. The circumstances of that fight are by this time pretty generally known ami therefore do not need repetition. Hut in any event it Is a "family affair," and In itfi settlement it will not be neces enry to appeal for Democratic asnist aneo oi to solicit Democratic alliances. The difficulty In due time will be ad justed wholly within the party lines, and in a manner that will give eminent satisfaction to the masses of the party's following. In the meantime, Chnrles F. War wick Is the undisputed nominee of the Kepubilcans of Philadelphia for mayor; and has, as such, beon duly approved nnd Indorsed by the party rank and file, By nominating an his opponent a gen tleman who ranks as the political pawn of William F. Harrity, the Democrats have turned the fight Into a square, up-and-down test of party loyally and In such a situation to assume, in any hypothesis, that Matthew Stanley Quay wound be found flirting with the enemy is to do utter violence to every known law of political probability, "What shall we do with Japan?" asks tin anxious, contemporary. China's ad vice would probably be "Let her alone." Nonsense About High License. ' It Is amusing to notice with what earnestness several Pittsburg and Phll tidelphla contemporaries Just now de fend the Brooks high license law as a eolation of the, liquor problem which, ns one paper exultlngly declares, "could he much more easily weakened than Strengthened." The object of this BUd den fondness for that law is to ward off a possible amendment of It involving what Is virtually local option, In an other form. That amendment is known as the Pennewell bill, and, as we have hitherto explained, It leaves to a ma Jorlty of the residents and property- owners of a given district the deter mination or theKiuestlon whether a liquor license shall be Issued for that district. The only logical objection to the Pennewell bill, from the standpoint of those who believe that each community should have a direct voice In the de termination of its political and social conditions so far as these are affected by government, is that It does not select the eaBiest available method of ascer taining the popular will. It requires this will to be expressed, not by secret ballot, but by the signing of n petition or remonstrance addressed to the court, thus opening 1110 way to bitter ani mosities and personal grudges. To this extent It may be open to criticism; but to contend that It must not be consid ered by this legislature lest in some maniu-r the present revenue-producing high license system shall be endan gered Is, it seems to us, the veriest non sense. The lirooks high license system Is not sacred. Neither Is it perfect. As a nuit'ter of fact, it is scurcely more than a clumsy compromise, by courtesy called constitutional, the effect of which Is for the state to farm out monopolies In the drink trafllo to which It has no moral right. In exchange for revenue without which It would be decidedly better off. In this locality, the crude ness of the system Is further empha sized by the fact that when the com monwealth has, for t'M per dealer, sold Its permission for the sale of liquor, It Immediately goes back on Its contract by taking no steps to pruteit its putrons from Illicit competition. IVe object to investing such a law with a simulated halo of sanctity. It Is not a good law. It is a very crude und clumsy law, tolerable only as a makeshift until public sentiment shall demand und sustain something better. The liquor inlluence in New York state will urge the udoptlon, ut Albany, of a law permitting cities of 50,000 or more population to decide, by popular vote, whether Sunday liquor selling shall be permitted between noon and midnight. This measure is called by Its authors a "compromise" bill; and it deserves Us title. The next thing in order will probably be a bill permitting cities to decide whether gambling shall be punishable on Sunday, or horse rac ing or thut form of vice known us the soclul evil. Finally, It will be in order to have a popular poll taken on the Ten Commandments. Maybe several of them need cutting out. "Compro mise?" We should say it was. No Time for Yawping. Just now, when a few fussy old fogies like Senator Hawiey's Hartford Cour aut are disposed to blink at Thomas 13. Keed for not long-windedly beating a theoretical torn torn on the currency question, while the national credit is going to pieces Inch by Inch, it is re freshing to come across a stalwart Democratic paper with the good sense to give proper credit where credit Is due, even to the extent of praising a political opponent. The Philadelphia Record is such a paper, and it says, with cheerful frankness which we com mend: Mr. Reed, whatever else his critics may find to say about him, has never once lacked the coinage of his convictions. His substitute was not a currency scheme. It was an expedient addressed to an emergency, conceived In recognition of the fact that only a remnant of the session remained and that the larger question could riot possibly be dealt with, while the treasury's dwindling reserve vw u condition that could not wait. Yet the Reed-substitute, while avowedly nothing more than an emergency measure, showed statesmanship of the practical sort, the sort which has been so woefully lackim; among his critics. Jlr. Keed, however, will probably not bother himself to seri ously argue with his critical friends who threaten In these Inclement and bllzzard ouh days to plow a new pathway for them selves, but will rather be lniiimd to say to them: "Wayward brothers, depart In peace." If they should ilo so they would simply cut themselves otY from a brainy leader who leady, ami whose business sense and regard for national credit are not to bo Impeached. And they would not leave Mr. Keed very lonesome. The leader who in financial measures stands with John Sherman, and who can offer a non-pni tisan measure commanding tho rapport of 10) Republican votes In tile house. Is certainly In very large and vety good company. The present Is a good time for Re publicans to remember that when the dogmatic assertion of pet llnnncial hob bles means a costly legislative dead lock ruinous to every branch of busi ness and trade, the policy of wisdom Is not to. foment new wrangles by obsti nate reiteration of extreme opinions, but to seek for nn equitable basis of mutual agreement. This country can get along nicely under any pet of laws If the llutulent theorists In congress at Washington would only close their cavernous mouths and give It half a chance. A newcomer In the Journalism of this section has Just been launched In Wllkes-Harre under the terse title "It "It" Is a comic weekly visitant nlmlntr to fill a long-felt want. "It's" pub Ushers, Messrs. Laclar and Hamlin, the former a son of Colonel J. 1). I.uckir, are bright, trustworthy and enterpris ing young men, who will make "It" go If "It" Is in the pathway to success. Clood luck to both! The Right of the State. A contributor to the Rochester Post F.xpress, refuting a series of mlsrcpiw sentutlons upon the subject of compul sory educntlon very slmllor to some of the misrepresentations that are np pcurlng In the columns of the Scranton Truth, says very aptly: Whatever may be the tproper limitations of legislative power It certainly Includes the protection of the lives, health nnd morals of children and .whatever else Is necessary for their decent preparation for eniKenslilif. That some education Is r quired for this probably no one would think of denying. That very mnny chil dren will not get even this unless they are required to do so by law is also a put ent fact. Some persons conceive this ex erelse of the plain duly of the state to be an Infringement of somebody's personal liberty. Very likely. Ho are all luws for the protection of the children or Indeed i f any one else. Those persons may very possibly so regard uny statute against corruption of the morals of children; one Instance of which Is that relating to I ho so-called "ago of consent.!' Or they may be Jealous of that "personal liberty" of parents by which they might claim tin limited authority to abuse their children at their tlendlsh or drunken pleasure and to rear them as criminals after their own type. The truth Is a compulsory educn lion law Is a. small part of what Is needed In this direction. This Interference with personal liberty needs to be carried so far thut every child in this state shall not only be given a common school educa tion, thus preparing him in some degree for Intelligent cltltenshlp and protection of his own personal Interests In prlvlnto dealings, but shull also be protected dur- Ing the years of helplessness from star vation and freezing as well as from slav ery to keepers of sweating shops, and professional beggars or thieves, if this hurts the feelings of any advocate of per sonal liberty he may possibly be obliged to boar It. The signs Indicate that Intel ligent citizens will not always permit tho systematic training of eiimlnuls at fearful cost to the public nnd that tho humanity of Americans will not always Ignore tho Indeserllmhle squalor and suf fering of great multitudes of children in u land of plenty. The notion that parental liberty In cludes within Itself the light to rear children under suehVircumstances us to tnnke'them, when grown, ignorant and vicious members of society when they could be made educated and useful members Is a monstrous perversion of the truth, possible only to disputants who, like the editor of the Scranton Truth, do not fully realize what they are saying. A number of Democratic newspapers are now throwing rhetorical brickbats at Thomas I). Heed, with a view to discrediting his presidential candidacy before the people. As a mutter of fact, the more the Democratic leaders dislike him, tho better he will be liked by the musses. Anyhow, Heed has been under lire before. It Is a fact worth noticing that while cities all around us have, during the past few days, been staggering along under weather that almost crowded the mercury out of the thermometer, Scran ton's temperature has been merely mildly exhilarating. This Is another tribute to this city's merit us a tlrst cUiss winter resort. It takes calamity to bring out the fine points In human nature. The Cur bonilale milkmen for Instance who took advantage of the milk famine last week md squeezed their customers to the extent of three or four cents extra on quart Ate kilning examples of hu manity. The sneers of Messrs. Iiutt undLexow at men whom they sarcastically call reformers" would be in better, "taste if either could point to some genuine reforming of his own achievement. Another White Cup conspiracy has been unearthed In Georgia. It is no ticeable that White Cap enterprises and moonshine whiskey plants seem to nourish on the same soil. The indifference of the navy depart ment regarding the otlieers of the Con cord may be taken as evidence that tho department does not favor shooting Chinamen out of season. From accounts up to date It would seem possible for diplomat John W. Foster to get into LI Hung's discarded yellow vest without bursting the but tons off. Another petiitled man has been dis covered In Philadelphia. The "com bine" leaders need not hereafter feel lonely. Is the Nicaragua cunal Job dead at last? Let us devoutly hope so. I.l'GlSLATlYi: TOPICS. Time to Cull a Halt. Pittsburg Commercial-Gazette: There will huve to be u severe pruning down wherever the knife can be applied, or the cie lit of the state for good linuiuieiing anil economical government will suffer. There Is one thought running through the legislative mind that this Is a great state: that It 1s practically out of debt, and that Its resources are utmost limit less. This Is true, and very creditable to the tinaniial management of past years. Hut that Is one of the strongest reasons why the greatest care should be exercised In authorizing public expenditures, it will not do to enter upon un era of ex travagant expenditures in times like these. Owing to dcpiVsslon caused by loss inlt-niunugeniem of national affairs. the state receipts will be curtailed as Indi cated above, und it would be very unwise to pursue a policy which will tend to In crease tuxal'on or add to the state debt. There are some Items which cannot be curtailed, nor Is It deslrabl" that they should be; but there un; others that can more or less reduced, and many appli cations for money that should be per emptorily denied. The creation of need- is olllces ami the Increase of salaries are evils that cannot be too carefully guarded against. Many of the schemes Involving huge expenditures, while com mendable enough in themselves, are not necessarily pressing. They can afford to wait a more convenient season. Times will doubtless Improve In the near future, but this Is not the time lor encouraging lavish expenditures. Governor Hastings has promised to look after this matter, and us things oppcar now lie will have to make use of the veto power to ease the strain upon the treasury. Against the New Kcventio Hill. Die manufacturers of Pennsylvania are lighting the new revenue bill framed by the state lax ennrenyice. Chairman Riter, of the house ways und means com mittee, which hus the measure under con sideration, has received protests from manufacturers all over the stato against its becoming a law and asking for a hear ing before It Is acted upon finally by the committee. The Alanufacturers' club, of Philadelphia, through Its secretary, Charles lleber Clarke, the distinguished political economist, has given Chairman lllter notice of Its opposition to tho scheme and will send a large delegutlon to oppose It. Mr. Clarke Is a member of the conference and made a bitter attack upon the- bill when It wns under consid eration by that body. He characterized It as a scheme to relieve the agricultural classes of their share of the burdens of stale taxation by Imposing It upon the manufacturers und corporations. Mr. Clarke left tho meeting 111 disgust and never returned. The greatest objection claimed to the bill Is that It Inflicts oddl loniil burdens upon many of the liidustiten of tho stale nnd will tend to drive them to more favored localities or to retire from business, The linker Antl-Kwcnt-Shnp Still. The bill by Senator Raker to mitigate the evil of sweat-shops prohibits the manufacture In any tenement or dwell Ing house, except by the Immediate mem bers of the family living therein, of coats anil other wearing apparel, cigars und cigarettes. No person, firm or corpora tion Is permit ted to employ any person to work In any room, In any rear building, or building in the rear of a tenement or dwelling house, at making any of the ar ticles enumerated without obtaining a permit from the factory Inspector or one of his deputies, llcfore Issuing a permit tho factory Inspector or deputy must first make Inspection of the place. The holder of a permit Is required to keep a writ ten register of the names and addresses of all persons to whom work Is given, which shall be produced for Inspection when required. Each person so employed Is to have U'O cubic feet of air space, proper ventilation Is required to be fur nished, and If not supplied within six days after being not lied prosecution is author ized. Provision Is made for the Imposi tion of a fine not exceeding $"i00 and not less than $100. The bill carries with It the creation of eight new deputy factory Inspectorships at a salary of $l,!U0 each. A Stop Toward I-'rce Bridgos. , The senate has passed a bill providing that tho state shall -purchase and assume control of county bridges crossing rivers and streams declared to be' public high ways by acts of ussombly and for the erection of new bridges to tuke the plaeo of those destroyed und to repair others. The state treasurer und auditor general are, on the application qfcthex'ommlsslon ers of tho counties, to anoint three com petent persons to muke an appraisement of tho value of the property Involved. They are required to make report to tho state treasurer und auditor general within threo months, when tho amount of tho appraisement shall be paid over to tho proper county treasurers. New county shall be constructed or old ones rebuilt by tho stato on tho application of tho county commissioners to tho olllcers named. 'I he state Veterinarian Included. Tho bill to create a department of agriculture has been amended In tho house by providing for tho uppolntment of a state veterinarian ut an unnuul sal ary of $2,500. V.crlt Will Win iiiTimo. From the Elnihuist Slunul. Hera Is the way that nestor of Jour nalism, Charles A. Dana, speaks out oil the circulation question: "The best way to get a large circulation for a newspaper Is to till It with reading of genuine Inter est and real value; to make It necessary that every one who wishes to be Well Informed respecting Important occur rences, should study thut newspaper; and to render It attractive In a literary sense by giving to Its columns un Intrinsic char acter and un engaging Intellectual qual ity." If this wise suggestion were adopt ed there would be a great shrinkage In many rcudy-prlnt and plate editions of "newspapers" that carry nothing but trash to their readers. Till'! IILSIIAM).
