Shame on such ballot reform!
The Municipal Problem.
The letter of Rev. D. M. Kinter, print
ed elsewhere, defining the duty of the
pulpit in connection with affairs of
municipal government is both forceful
and opportune. There is no escape
from his conclusion that unless the
problem of local rule be solved to the
satisfaction of honest principles, the
whole experiment of popular govern
ment must eventually collapse through
fundamental and Irremediable rotten
ness. This Is a dictum which is as cer
tain as is a truth of mathematics. If
the people of the cities, the great middle
stratum of honest, well-disposed citi
zens, shall prove incapable of securing
for those cities measurably honest, ef
ficient and business-like administration
of their municipal affairs, then it will
be vain to expect the state to be well
governed or the nation to be well-governed
on a foundation of urban indiffer
ence, political corruption and civic
crime.
Rev. Mr. Kinter concedes the magni
tude of the problem, but Is hopeful that
It will be successfully solved. He
opines that when the clergy get far
enough away from subjects appertain
ing to antediluvian ages to take the
lead In these pressing contemporary
battles of morals, the awakened con
science of the people will enforce hon
esty in the government of our cities,
and wipe out ring-rule, Jobbery and
partisan compromises with truth and
right. This hope receives strong cor
roboration from the results of Dr. Park
hurst's virile sermonizing In Gotham;
but we must confess that for a thing
which is supposed to be so sensitive as
It Is supposed to be, the popular con
science In most cities Is slow to take
unto Itself the lesson of the New York
example. Maybe next Tuesday's elec
tion In our own municipality will Indi
cate otherwise; yet with candidates of
the mental and moral caliber of Ollroy
In the Seventh and Hlckey In the Nine
teenth openly making boast of their
reliance upon party prejudice to carry
them Into responsible office, we must
confess that we have moments of dubi
ousness. Still, honest citizenship should not
neglect its duty next Tuesday. The bat
tle for reform has to have a beginning,
before It can expect to win victories.
As a matter of personal fitness there
Is little difference between Candidate
"Warwick and Candidate Pattlson. As
a matter of politics, Warwick Is. known
to bo free handed and clean; and Pattl
son Is known to be only a Ilarrlty fig
urehead. The election of Mr. Pattlson
would be a misfortune.
Something About Newspapers.
That satiric hebdomadal. Town
Topics, lately made some exceedingly
Interesting comments upon the recent
address of Charles A. Dana before the
students of Cornell university, concern
ing journalism as a vocation for ambi
tious young men. Town Topics, after
complimenting the author of that ad
dress, proceeds to make note of certain
things omitted from It. "For example,"
It reminds Mr. Dana that "he
did not say that most of the dally news
papers published in large cities at the
present time are sensational, unreliable,
ecandal-mongerlng sheets, and that they
are that for the reason that the American
people. In bulk, cannot interest themselves
in conservative, truthful and dignified lit
erature. In telling those young students
how to make a newspaper he did not tell
them enough, I think, about public taste,
and how it Is impossible to print In New
York, or any other crowded American
community, a thoroughly decent, enter
taining and Intelligent newspaper. Air.
Dana Is enabled today to sun himself In
the optimism of success, and he is very
mellow, genial and lovely in his attitudes
toward youth and toward the whole
American people, in whom he claims to
have supreme faith. But I should not be
surprised If he suffers considerable doubt
of the actual Intelligence of the present
American people and of tho native educa
tional influence of our youth. In dis
pensing wisdom at a university It would
not be a bad Idea If he could utter a few
remarks that were calculated to turn
the thoughts of his hearers to the prime
necessity of Improving the tastes and
strengthening the mental force of the na
tion, so that the demund shall not be for
newspapers that are degrading, but for
those that ore elevating and decent. Mr.
Dafla knows that the greatest financial
successes In Journalism today are enjoyed
fey publications that are unfit to go under
the eyea of self-respecting people. He did
not say that to Cornell students; in fact,
lie said nothing whatever of the depress
ing foot that the American' nation culti
vates enthusiastically all that Is con
temptible In the newspaper business, and
gives Its attention grudgingly to the little
that is honorable and admirable.
Without Indorsing this criticism un
reservedlyfor It relates, as will be
perceived, mainly to the large cities,
where many of the newspapers, as a
matter of fact, do have serious faults
it can be said that what are called
"provincial" journals as a rule do not
deserve such condemnation. In cities
of from 10,000 to 150,000 population It is
a rare thing to And a daily newspaper
which deliberately sells scandal, pries
Into the personal affairs of Us readers
or offends through a chronio habit of
lying. And In the rural weekly papers,
there is almost an entire absence of
sensationalism. For Town Topics to
Judge journalism as a business wholly
by the diseased specimens of Journal
istic panders which cater to the an
archistic Ignorance of the rabble in our
large cities is perhaps natural, consid
ering its nearness to such specimens,
but it is none the less unfair. And
even In the large cities there are clean
papers which are also successful pa
pers, In the fullest meaning of the
word. The two most successful dally
publications In Philadelphia, for in
stancethe Ledger and the Record
are both clean and both Intellectual;
while in the Press, Evening Telegraph
and Hullrtlti muy be seen three other
profitable newspapers that remain free
from the contamination of which Tow n
Topics complains, without ut the same
time degenerating Into the klndurgur
ten grade of mental pabulum.
We shall not presume to speak con
cerning the New York newspapers fur
ther than to remark, since Town Topics
has chosen Mr. Dnmi as the pretext for
its lecture, that of all the dully papers
printed In that large city, the Sun, to
our mind, Is least given over to sensa
tionalism of a hurmftil kind, while at
the same time It best escapes from be
coming heavy and dull. It provides
something of beneficent interest to
every grade of reader; but does not,
unless through rare mistakes, try to en
gage in a competitive sale of filth and
Impertinent frivolity. We dare suy the
Sun is not now so good a paper as Mr.
Dana would like it to become; or, In
deed, as It probably would become, un
der his management, if the taste of the
public were equal to his own. But it Is
nevertheless a, good, clean and interest
ing newspaper, well fitted to be read
carefully by oneself and afterward
taken home to one's wife and children.
We try to make The Tribune, In its
smaller field, In those qualifications a
similar paper; and, if our office records
tell the truth, we are succeeding and
the public Is dally manifesting an in
creased appreciation of our work.
Mr. Piatt, after reflection, denies that
he has been turned down by Mayor
Strong; but his denial Is several Inches
less than a yard wide.
Judge John Handley.
The consensus of testimony among
those who knew Judge John Handley In
his Inner life; who knew him behind the
somber and seemingly austere exterior
which secluded the real man from the
public gaze. Is that he was a warm
hearted and high-principled gentleman,
with a nature as broad and Bturdy as
was his own large physique. Even to
those who knew him only from e dis
tance, there wassomethingcommandlng
about him which rarely failed to elicit
admiration, commingled perhaps with
awe.
Trite as the saying Is, John Handley
was a self-made man. The record of
his rise in life from the humble boot
black and newsboy in Savannah, Ga.,
without a penny, to the distinguished
Judge and the millionaire Scranton
landlord reads like a page from colonial
history. His interesting personality al
ways suggested to us that rapidly dis
appearing type of man, the old-time
southern gentleman; nor did he lack
that innate chivalry with which this
type is associated.
Judge Handley chose, In his later
years, the role of the recluse when
he might have been one of our most
active and prominent citizens. The
companionship of books was, in these
years, apparently more to him than
that of men, although' the few friends
to whom he unfolded himself were ever
welcome visitors to his bachelor's home.
But throughout this decade of retire
ment there runs a Bhlnlng thread of
quietly dispensed charity which gives
to his quaint career almost a romantic
tinge. It Is probably true that John
Handley was a misunderstood and, In
a public sense, an unappreciated man;
yet It is. also true, and this time In no
uncertain manner, that could he have
foreseen the many and genuine ex
presslons of kindly esteem elicited yes
terday by the news of his death, he
would have treasured them as consti
tuting an ample vindication.
The adoption and enforcement of on
ordinance prohibiting the salting of
street car tracks in winter would cor
rect a very objectionable local nuis
ance. An Intelligent Decision.
Emory C. Shipley, of Texas, Balti
more county, Maryland, was recently
arrested on a warrant issued by a Jus
tice of the peace at Towson, charging
him with felonious assault. The prose
cuting witness made this charge under
oath and the Baltimore American, one
of the leading newspapers of the United
Btates, in Its regular course of busi
ness, printed the foregoing facts as
a matter of news. When tried, Mr.
Shipley was acquitted, which fact was
also printed In the American; but that
did not satisfy the Texas gentleman
and he soon afterward Bued General
Felix AgnuB, publisher of the Ameri
can, for damages, claiming that he had
been libeled. The charge of Judge
Ritchie, of the superior court of Haiti
more city, to the Jury in this case is In
teres ting.
It was contended by the plaintiff,
through hla attorneys, that the publi
cation as aforesaid was not privileged,
under the law, Inasmuch as It did not
report the hearing of the case, but only
reported the ex-parte application for
and , Issue of a warrant, giving the
allegations upon which such npplica
tion was based. Judge Ritchie dlsal
lows this claim, citing a decision of
the Maryland court of appeals (In Mc
Bee vs. Fulton, 47 Md., 403) that a
correct, fair and bona-flde report of the
proceeding! upon the hearing of a crim
lnal charge before a justice of the
peace Is within, the privilege accorded
to reports of the proceedings of courts
of Justice. It Is held that Justices of
the peace when so acting are Judicial
officers discharging judicial functions,
and the court cites with approval the
opinion of Lord Campbell to the effect
that, upon the question of privilege,
the dignity of the court cannot be re
garded, and there Is no distinction be
tween a court of pie poudre and the
house of lords sitting aB a court of jus
tice. Judge Ritchie adds:
If on a hearing there Is no difference be
tween Judicial proceedings before higher
courts and those before a magistrate, I
cannot ece any difference between pre
liminary ex parte Judicial proceedings be
fore a judge of a higher court and similar
proceedings before a Justice of the peace.
In hearing a charge and issuing a war
rant, the magistrate Is Just as much ex
ercising his judicial function as is tho
Judge when he issues a bench warrant.
The latter occasion is as much ex parte
nnd initiative as the former, and If a re
port of it Is privileged, as it is, tho report
of the Issue of a magistrate's warrant Is
also privileged. Police arrests, present
ments and indictments are part of every
duy's news, and a report of thorn is not
libelous because they are ex parte and
preliminary. So much for the publication
of the fact of the issue of the warrant.
In hearing the charge, in determining
whether or not to issue the warrant, and
In Issuing it, tho justice was acting Judi
cially ami publicly. As to the publication
of the statements under oath of the person
making the charge, tho proceedings being
Judicial and public, 1 cun see no differ
ence in principle between the testimony
of tho prosecuting witness In such a pro
ceeding us this and the testimony of a wit
ness at the hearing, or In tlx- trial of a
case In u. higher court. It follows, from
what has linen ml I.I, that, If the publica
tion In question was u full', correct ami
boua-tido report, of what took place before
tho magistrate. It was privileged; and If
so, the plaintiff is not entitled to recover
unless he tins shown express' or .actual
malice on the part of the defendant. Out
slile of the publication Itself, there Is no
evidence whatever of any malice In fact.
Whether that publication was fair, cor
rect and bona-llde or not, is a question for
the Jury.
The jury's decision, reached without
leaving the court room, was unani
mously in the newspaper's favor. This
occurrence, in a state famed, for the
severity of its libel law, is obviously of
great and general Importance. It Is,
us the American modestly says, ",i
slip towards a better and more Just
Interpretation of the law."

"Even those who were In high glee
when the Lexow committee was luylng
bare the iniquity of New York now
say there Is no necessity to take the ltd
off Philadelphia." In this remark the
Scranton Truth utters what we
conceive to bo an Injustice. We
have not seen In any newspaper
editorial or Interview, either Phll
adelphlan or otherwise, any asser
tion that "there is no necessity to take
the lid off Philadelphia." If Philadel
phia want to take the lid off their
local government and scrutinize the in
ner workings thereof, that is both their
privilege and their duty. Put It is
nothing less .than ridiculous to ask the
lid-removing to be done by a commit
tee of state senators, who have no more
right to meddle with the municipal
government of Philadelphia than they
would have to meddle with the manage
ment of the Scranton Truth.

LEGISLATIVE TOPICS.
Thinks Imprisonment Too Cruel.
Carbondale Leader: The conviction of
another llrst degree murderer in this
county and prospect of two hangings will
revive interest in the discussion as to the
right and expediency of capital punish
ment. The advocates of life Imprisonment
who want capital punishment abolished
have been evry loud in proclaiming their
views. Do they know tho horrors of a life
of solitary confinement' If so, do they
consider it more humane than instant
death'.' In Iielglum imprisonment for life
Is considered the most terrible punish
ment that can be Imagined. A person
found guilty of murder Is sentenced to
death and with Imposing milltury display
a copy of the sentence Is posted on the Hal
lows. It remains there but a few minutes,
however, when It Is taken down by tho
public executioner und conveyed under
guard to the building in which the of
ficlul archives are kept. From that mo
ment the condemned person Is as dead to
the world as though he were in the bot
tom of the sea. The prisoner is placed
In a dungeon o constructed that from
the moment he enters it he will never
hear the sound of a. human voice or Bee
a human face. Ills food Is passed through
a sliding panel in the door of his cell, so
constructed that not a glimpse of those
who supply it or of the outside world can
ever reach the wretched being under pun
ishment. It is said that in the thirty
years during which this law has been In
operation no person so confined has lived
longer than three years. The authorities
have striven to prolong their lives by
varying the food, but to no purpose.
Those moderately nourished gradually
waste away while those generously fed go
mad and die raving munlacs. What more
horrible fate can be imagined? Compared
with it the guillotine, the rope or the elec
tric, shock would be mercies that might
bo begged with eagerness.
Thnnks. Neighbor, Thanks.
Wllkes-llarre Record: In referring to
the Cotton measure to create two appel
late, court districts tho esteemed Scranton
Tribune puts In a bid for Scranton as one
of the towns in which the court ought to
sit. That paper holds that It would be a
matter of Justice to northeastern Penn
sylvania, whoso Interests would thereby
bo hu gely conserved. The Record agrees
with The Trlbuno that the First district
court should sit In one or the other of
large cities of the coal regions, as a large
majority of tho cases to be tried will per
tain to the anthracite coal region. We
would not feel envious ut all, should
Scranton capture the court, and wish
The Tribune success In Its efforts to se
cure It.
The Pure 1'ood lllll Revived.
The Hewett pure food, drink and drug
bill passed by the last legislature, and
vetoed by Governor Pattlson, will, accord
ing to Colonel Sam Hudson, again cut a
big figure. It has been dug up to again
inn its chances of becoming a law. This
bill Is greatly feared by the liquor intor
estH, both within and without the state,
and particularly by the brewers, since It
designates the Ingredients from which
lieer Is to be made, and prohibits by nil mo
the use of certain drugs and deleterious
articles employed In artificially aging tho
product of tho breweries for tho market,

From Ills Recent Oration.
Never In all the ages of men have the
acts, words, motives and even thoughts of
any statesman been so scrutinised, an
alysed, studied nnd speculated upon as
his. Yet from all inquiries, without dis
tinction to party, church, section or
country, from friend and from foe alike,
comes the unanimous verdict that Abra
ham Lincoln must have no second place
In American history, and1 that he will
ever remain second to none in the revered
affection of the American people.
"Great CaptRlns, with their guns and
drums.

But at last silence comes;
These are all gone, and standing like a

man,
Sagacious, patient, dreading praise, not
blame,

An Instructive Example.
From the Philadelphia Record.
It Is not at all likely that anything rt:
come of the resolution to be offered in the
New York legislature to remove ths state
capital from Albany to New York city, on
the ground that it will cost $iS,000,000, or
more, ta finish the capital (which has now
already cost t'JO.dOO.WHJ), while a new one
could be built in the metropolis for less
than $5.01)0.000. But the figures, which no
doubt roughly approximate a scandalous
truth, should not bo lost on taxpayers;
and should persuade them that good gov
ernments are not alone for cities, but
should extend as well into every legisla
tive district.
