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.

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

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 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.

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.
