Lexow Committee Nonsense.
The intimation which comes from
Irarrisburg that Senator Quay lias
rhanifed his mind with reference to the
appointment of a Lexow committee for
'Philadelphia, and is now strongly in
f.tvor of such a committee needs to be
verified before it can be implicitly be
lieved. There la little doubt, since the
recent disclosures before the council
manic probing committee in the City
of Brotherly Love, that a Lexow com
mittee with extended powers could as
rertain many things of Interest to the
1 ublic, in connection with the govern
ment of America's third city. In the
direction of councils at least there is
the promise of Interesting results; and
We are by no means sure that all of the
municipal departments would escape
unscathed if the Inquiry were to be
conducted honestly and thoroughly.
Hut we are still of the opinion that
a legislative committee from Harris
iurg has very little light to Interfere
with the local affairs of the people of
1'hlladelphia. The conditions In this
State are not similar-to thos which
existed in New York state at the time
rif the appointment of the Lexow com
mittee. In the latter state, all the cities
vera governed under special charter
legislation, which gave to tin; Albany
assembly an immediate legal, if not
moral, right to inquire into the details
of each city's local government. No
such excuse can be urged, however,
with reference to Philadelphia. The
government of Philadelphia Is con
ducted directly by the people of
Philadelphia. If that government
Is unsatisfactory. It is their
duty to correct it. If corruption Is be
lieved to exist In any branch of that
Eovernment. the right to make inquiry
rests with the people who are directly
wronged by such alleged corruption;
and if they do not see fit to take steps
In the premises, It Is proper that they
should suffer the consequences.
There In another phase to this sub
ject of superior Importance to any yet
brought out. We do not believe It was
ever Intended that the legislature of
Pennsylvania should exercise powers
of police supervision over the govern
ment of Pennsylvania cities, or thut It
has any constitutional call to consti
tute itself a detective agency for the
unearthing of municipal crimes. The
lodgment of such sweeping powers In
the legislature would place In the
hands of the political leaders who
dominate that legislature a most dan
gerous weapon, with which to belabor,
upon slight pretext, subordinates in
the various titles who should chance
to Incur their superiors' displeasure.
The people of New York, after a long
Interval of such centralized authority
during which municipal scandal and
crime, often through the direct cdn
'nlvance and encouragement of 'those In
control at Albuny, reached unprece
dented and intolerable proportions,
have Just decided to go back to the
wholesome,, old-fashioned principle of
Jiome rule. And the people of Pennsyl
vania, with this example before them,
ran hardly be so foolish as to wish to
attempt an experiment which In New
5'ork has Ignominlously failed.
If Scranton Is not to have a paid fire
department, it might be a irood bleu
to provide for the better enforcement
of discipline among the volunteer com
panics.
Quite a Larue Storm.
Th meterologloal experts tell us that
Ithe recent blizzard extended over more
(than three-fourths of the Inhabited por
tion of tho globe, with varying violence.
The average snowfall, throughout that
portion of the United States lying north
of the thirty-fifth parallel, Is estimated
by the department authorities at Wash
ington at twelve inches; below the thirty-fifth
parallel It was considerably
less, although froBt fell even on the
extreme southern boundary. It Is prob
ably true, however, that of the 9,308,000
square miles comprising the grand di
vision called North America, 7,4:0,510
square m'les wera covered by snow
averaging one foot In depth, and at a
hazard, Judging from the cable reports,
we may say that 1,000,000 square miles
of European territory were similarly
Affected. This gives a total of 8,420,510
Square miles with snow. 'On it a foot
deep; or 20G,S71,n4".,0S4,OOO cubic feet of
sr.ow crystals, each cubic foot contain
ing millions upon millions of separate
particles, wrought into the mod beau
tiful of fantastic shapes and forms. '
It Is a reasonable estimate to sup
pose ithat two cuhlo feet of snow vel;;h
a pound, and, when melted, mensure
one pint. At this rate, the recent biiow
fall was equivalent in weight to 51,717,
0S6.49G tons, or considerably more, In
weight, than 'the present output of all
the unlhractte coal mines in tho world
worked at the present capacity for a
thousand years. It tills snow were
melted and placed In u reservoir, It
would make 12,920,490,024 lrallous of
water, or enough to supply one-sixth
of the population of the United States
for an entire .year, without uny neces
sity for economizing. If we could Imag
ine it pumped Into a pipe so large that
one foot of pipe would hold one gallon
of water, this pipe would reach almost
100 times uround the earth at the
equator. It was quite a large storm.
We must confess, after till Its ran
dom rhetoric, thut wa are wholly un
able to perceive why the Scranton
Truth opposes compulsory education.
Simmered down. Its position seems to
be neither more nor less than one of
sticking obstinately to an curly mistake.
The Satnrday Tribune.
The man who wants to be thoroughly
happy will need to read tomorrow's
Tribune. Its twelve handsome pages
will literally teem with good reading-
some of it gruve, some ga'y. some divert
ing, some instructive. You have prob
ably noticed thut this Saturday edi
tion of our's is stolidity growing better.
You already know, of course, that It Is
the best Saturday Issue of any news
paper In Scranton, which means in
Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Hut that doesn't wholly satisfy us.
There is no reason why the best city in
the state should not have, at least once
u week, the best, paper In the state.
We have un idea thut the intelligent
readers of this section wilt uppretiato
the opportunity which The Tribune is
giving them to obtain, for 2 cents, u
paper well worth 10; and that, for Sat
urday, they will know how to evince
their appreciation of the best number
of any newspaper in the entire state.
Itcostsusdoublemoney; butlt doesn't
cose the purchaser even one extra mill.
The custom, among physicians, of
avoiding newspaper publicity often re
suits In the withholding of due credit
to skilled members of 'that profession
for services which are of Inestimable
benefit to the community In which they
modestly toil. It Is often not until
personal illness Interrupts their daily
ministrations that the community
reaches a proper realization of its large
indebtedness. We note with extreme
regret the illness of such a physician
In Pittston, in the person of Dr. J. J.
Walsh, a brother of Rev. Richard
Walsh, of Moscow. Dr. Walsh's illness,
as we chance to know, Is the direct
result of his martyrdom to professional
duty. Ha'ther than disappoint the
many families who depended upon his
skill, he overtaxed his. own vital
strength to the point where at last
It summarily gave way; and now he
lies prostrate, as much a hero, albeit
in more modest manner, as was ever a
soldier stricken in battle, face front,
at the post of duty. We cannot refrain
from giving tills frank credit where we
know it to be due.
For an entire week the people of Pitts-
ton have been deprived of street car
facllltes because of the unwillingness of
the Wllkes-Uurre and Wyoming Valley
Traction company to remove the accu
mulated snow and ice from Its tracks
without throwing them into, ugly heaps
in the wagon way alongside the tracks.
Nor does there uppear to be the likeli
hood of an early resumption of passen
ger trallic on ithe Pittston line. The
situation Is a novel one; but It would
soon take on a different uspect if the
authorities of PittHton borough were to
declare forfeited the lights and fran
chises of the street cur company within
the borough. There ought somewhere
to be redress for the conduct of a cor
poration which after obtaining public
franchises for u song, upon the plea
that Its business will acooinmodato the
public, then turns round and says. In
the expressive language of the late.
Mr. Vanderbllt, "the public be d d."
The esteemed Syracuse Post, com
menting on Kdttor Pnlm's smooth
"oleo" trick, draws this moral: "If the
makers of fraudulent butter can tie.
celve the very elect, there Is all the
more reason, why their fraudulent prod
uct should bo so prominently stamped
that purchasers will know what they
nre getting." That Is It, precisely.
Iet every 'tub stand on its own bot
tom. But the law in this state doesn't
do that. It prohibits absolutely the
sale of imitation butter, regardless of
the fact that by so doing It Imposes
hardships on thousands of poor families
which cannot afford to pay the high
prices charged for dairy butter.
The Idea actuating those who ndvn.
cate a greater Pittsburg appears to be
to get a big rating In the census, even
If to do so It shnll be necessary to ac
quire the larger part of Allegheny coun
ty by forcible conquest. We do not bn
lieve that a law of this character would
be regarded as constitutional by the
courts.
The energy displayed by the Scran
ton Truth's Ilarrlsburg representative
In "wrltlng down" Representative Karr
continues, with increase; but It looks
very much like energy wasted.
Where two rogues run for council
choose the least.
' There are a number of men In public
life throughout' the country who will
undoubtedly sympathize with Messrs,
Porter and Martin, of Philadelphia, in
the emburraBsIng situation In which
theBe gentlemen now find themselves ns
an outgrowth of the pertinacity of the
man Persch In forcing Into their re
luctant hands large blocks of itetephone
company stock, Issued while a franchise
ordinance was pending In the Philadel
phia councils. It was, of course, only
the amiable disposition of the gentle
men in question which restrained them
from denouncing Persch on the spot
and In assuming, before an applauding
public, the attitude ot offended inno
cence. A law to prevent corporation
promoters like Persch from taking lib
erties with men like Porter and MaiUln
should be passed Instanter; and we
look to Senator Doles Penrose to lntro
duce it.
Wo suspect' that tho Honorable
Thomas Collier Piatt Is, at this writing,
a badly disappointed man. Tho ap
pointments made by Mayor Strong have
not only Ignored his favorite claimants
of olllce but have put In the most in
fluential position a man who Is tho
most Inveterate nnti-I'latt Republican
on Manhattan Island. William Itrook-
lliiil was the chairman of the Republi
can county committee when Mr. Strong
was elected mayor; und us a reward for
that victory I'lntt had him ousted. The
mayor now makes Urooktleld commis
sioner of public works, a position In
which he will have tho appointment
in all of 1.4IIS employes, of whom 1,1V
nre laborers and mechanics und the
others superintendents, engineers and
clerks at salaries ranging from J'.MJO
to $7,000 per yeur. It Is said that Piatt
will be accorded a crumb of comfort In
a week or two; but crumbs are not the
diet 'that the Tioga boss feeds on. How
ever, Plaitt Is not tlin man to refuse
even n crumb, if he canuot get more.
The revelation that Labor Leader
Mark Wild accented a $0110 cash pres
ent, through John Jlcltiide, from a coal
operator who was grateful to Wild for
settling u recent strike would seem to
indicate that the secrets of this pro
fession are ut lust hcirinnlnir to leak
out. It Is u profitable business, tills
one of the labor ugitutor; us many u
fortune will attest. And the poor,
hoodwinked day laborer, as usual,
"pays the freight."
It will be u mistake to "Lexow"
Philadelphia by way of llarrlsburg.
Philadelphia should be governed, in
spected und renovated, when necessary,
by l'hiUulelphiuns.
The statement that low temperature
weakens the intellect suggests the pro
priety of providing u few extra radia
tors for the common council room.
The Wllkes-Harre Record during one
year graciously favors a new county
and then the next year bitterly opposes
it. Thus It keeps things balanced.
If capital punishment can deterrently
prevent the commission of homicides,
It Is a long time doing It.
LEGISLATIVE TOPICS.
A Poor Stock in Trade.
Lebanon Report: The Scranton Trib
une rightly characterizes the bill to "guar
antee worklngmen the light to join labor
unions" us "playing to the galleries." A
more ridiculous lilt of legislation could
hardly be enacted and yet the commit
tee hus favorably reported the bill pro
posing it. It Is no doubt destined to be
enacted and pigeon-holed umong the many
acts on the dead-letter list, lhe object
of such legislation Is branded on the face
of it to.be a bid for ithe labor vote, upd it
is one of the wonders that tile labor ele
ment should be so eusily hood-winked by
this clumsy attempt to cater to them.
Anyone with a remnant of common sense.
oust realize that such un act out-steps
the proper bounds of legislation. It is
one of those measures which attempts tho
impossible. For how cun an employer be
compelled to keep an employe? A laborer,
especially, must know only too well the
thousand anil one pretexts, which can, ut
uny tlmo and without warning, serve as u
ground for dismissal from which there Is
no appeal. In this tuse the employer can
simply deny that he is violating the uct
and what Is the wurklngmun going to Jo
about it? It is by the enactment of su"h
silly statutes as these that our legisla
tures bring discredit upon the common
wealth, and upon the law. But It is their
stock In trade and to deprive them of the
privilege is to rob them of a living.
Voting fur Iguorunec and Avarice.
Philadelphia Press: The Pennsylvania
senate by refusing to give the constitu
tional majority to lhe bill extending the
school term to seven months doomed the
rural schools of this statu to the same
disgraceful condition in which they are
now left by a law which is below that of
uny state In wealth or population compar
able with Pennsylvania. Senator Halii'-s,
of York, und Senator Green, of Herks,
Willi assistance from Senator CrltchiMd,
united In defending tho Ignorance which a
short school term breeds and the avarice
which keeps children slaving in the Held
ami dairy when they ought to be on tho
school bench. It. Is not the cost of the
schools which leads counties holding ,
mul ill II' I rcii to limit their term to six
months; it Is child labor, worked for gain
when the, child should be studying, which
tho constituents of these senators refuso
to glvo up. I nfortiiuately ull the state
surfers from the fKilicy of these counties
which are cureless of the priceless future
of their children us long as a Utile can lie
saved In farm lulxir by working for an
other month children of the spelling book
age. Since tho rural counties utterly re
fuso to Improve 'their schools the in
creased appropriation proposed by a re
distribution of stute money should be
fought by every expedient.
To Hcguluto diiirttublo Institutions.
Representative I'ow, of Philadelphia, at
the request of Tnlcott Williams, of the
Philadelphia Press, has Introduced a l,ll
to diminish the number of rliHtitable in
stitutions in the commonwealth. Jt pro
vides that tho courts shall not grunt any
articles of Incorporation to any number of
persons who may desire to form a cor
poration for the purpose of erecting, es
tablishing, maintaining and operating a
hospital, Infirmary or home for the recep
tion, nld and treatment to persons uf
flioted wllh maladies or deformities, or
home for aged and Indigent persons, or for
the uld of children or fallen women, or
free dispensaries, without first bulngTur
nlHhed with an ullldnvlt taken before a
Judge of the. court of common pleas, In
which ahull be stated the name of the
corporation and the object for which the
same is formed, the names of tho Incor
porators and the namo of tho county In
which U is to be erected, but the cer
tificate shall not be received by the courts
unless accompanied by a certlllcate from
the stute board of health approving the
Institution.
Puss the forestry Dill.
Philadelphia Inquirer: The forestry
bill, one of the best meusiires before the
legislature, tins passed the house and
should receive similar treatment tn tho
senate. Some five or six forestry bills
havo been Introduced, one of the most Im
portant of them providing for tho estab
lishment of three forest reservations of
40,000 acres each. It has been demon-
strated beyond ull lined for further proof
that the future welfare of the state, the
saving of lives and property and the pre
nervation of the water supplies call for
such action on the part of the common
wealth as is contemplated In the bill.
Electrocution Is n Go.
Electrocution as a substitute for hang
ing seems to be a go In Pennsylvania, ac
cording to Information received rrom llar
rlsburg. Cotton's bill providing for elec
trocution will be reported afllrmutlvely.
It Is practically the same as the New York

GRANT'S SAY "WENT.
From the Washington Capital.
An incident is related by un old friend
of Mr. Lincoln, who was witness to the
occurrence. One morning utter Presi
dent Lincoln's assassination Qeneral
Grant wus carelessly riding down Penn
sylvania avenue, .when ho suw a group of
gentlemen, all of whom ha knew. He
mopiied ills horse, und found these gen
tlemen excitedly discussing something
that they heard Andrew Johnson was
Just about to do at tho whlto house. A
spokesman told General Grant that An
drew. Johnson had determined to revoke
the purole of curtain Confederate olilcers.
Grant listened quietly, slowly smoking
his cigar. When his Informant finished
Grant remounted bis horse, rodo rapidly
towurd the whlto house, and went straight
In to interview Andrew Johnson. He
asked:
"Mr. President, I understand you ure de
termined to revoke the parole of certain
of the Confederate leaders who surren
dered to mo ut Appomattox."
"I am considering the mutter," replied
the president.
"Hy whose authority," aked General
Grunt, "do you revoke a parole signed by
me?"
"Hy tho authority of tho United States,"
replied Andrew Johnson, with some as
perity. Grant quietly replied: "Uy the author
ity of tho cuniniuiuler-ln-chlef of the ar
mies of the United States thut parole shall
not be revoked," and turned on his heel
and quietly left the white house.
Johnson knew Grant. He knew the
army of the Culled States was ut Ids
back. Nothing nioio wus heard of the
mutter.

For The Tribune.
tine morn not many years ugo,
In soft October's golden glow,
Tbero cann. unto our humble place,
A babe of dainty form and grace.
So frmll und wee, this tiny thing,
We thought at first It must take wing;
l''oi" surely eurth was not a homo
Where cherub forms llko this might roum.
Hut ta our joys this wee, wee thing
Just nestled down and folded wing;
And then, ah, me! this little elf,
Who first crept in us If by stealth,
Has now by many cunning arts,
Wound her tendrils round our hearts.
Since then n. few short years have flown,
Our bube has to u maiden grown,
With ull her childhood's budding grace,
Revealed upon her smiling face.
And strange to say as years roll round
Our hearts ure close, und closer bound,
Till now In slavery most complete
This maid has brought us to her feet.
God grunt ns onwurd time may glide
Hear friends and true with her abide.
Not only through life's summer sweet,
I tut down tho winter's frost and sleet.
He she through life where'er she roam,
The center of some happy home.
