ray victory for the Republican noml
r .'t', W. S. Millar, if every Republican
In the ward shall turn out and vote
for his party's nominee. He can do this
with the utmost grace when he compre
hends that In Mr. Millar's candidacy
the party has recognized both personal
merit and honorable party service. Few
Republicans of his years have done
more hard work of a clean kind for the
Republican party than lias W. S. Millar.
Vote for him for alderman, for which
lie U entirely qualified.
About Tomorrow's Elections.
In a number of varJ.s In this city
desirable nominations for councilmanle
responsibilities have been made by
both parties. For these the people are
to be congratulated; and it is to be
hoped that the residents of such wards
will elect the best of those nominees,
by large pluralities, if they should do
this, it would help along the movement
to divorce the purely business problem
tit municipal government from its pres
ent entanglement, not only in Scranton.
but in American cities generally, with
partisan politics. If there could be
had, today, an agreement among the
great majority of -the 0ter3 of Scran
ton, cr any other city, to ignore party
in the chousing of city officials, and if
this agreement could be kept In good
faith, we should hall it as a distinct
Ftep forward. Inasmuch, however, as
neither of these suppositions Is yet pos
sible of realisation in this city, it will,
for practical purposes, be a victory for
good government if the unlit men on
either ticket shall be rejected by the
people, as a notification to the party
leaders that the placing of unlit names
on a party ticket for responsible local
office Is bad politics not less than it Is
bad business all 'round.
The level of American public opinion
elevates slowly, but surely. We do not
think that we are far out of the way
when we say that the trend of that
opinion today Is away from the habit,
once almost wholly uncrlticlsed, of re
garding the Important offices of muni
cipal government as merely so many
tokens of reward, to be parceled out
by the party leaders to good, bad or
indifferent subordinates willing, when
elected, to "take orders" without refer
ence to the public welfare. Much of
this habit yet prevails, and Is regarded
as a necessary evil; but we neverthe
less suspect that It Is doomed, Sooner
or later, to disrepute if not to entire
eradication. Our own locality Is not
different from other cities In this par
ticular, unless the difference be one of
age. Hence we Indulge In no large
hope of a. speedy and radical revolu
tion, but as a Republican Journal be
Ileving In the superiority of Kcpubli
can principles and In the abundance,
vithln that party, of good pollticnl
"timber," we shall have no sympathy
for any unworthy candidate on that
ticket should such candidate be re
jected by discriminating voters, be
cause of the manifest superiority of the
opposing contestant for office; nor shall
we hall as a praiseworthy victory the
election of an Indifferent Republican
over an equally objectionable iJerno-
crat. The kind of victory which counts,
5n these days of growing Independence
cf civic opinion, Is that kind which ex-
alts personal fitness along the line of
nuceBsary party organization, and not
that which prostitutes public office to
partisan exigency or greed.
If the councllmen who will be elected
tomorrow shall not strengthen the leg
islative department of the city gov
ernment by bringing Into that depart
ment a greater representation of hon
esty, brains and character than It now
enjoys, the fault will rest directly with
the taxpayers of Scranton, and those
taxpayers will have to pay for their
fault, In dollars and cents. The ques
tion. Is purely a business question. The
casting of a ballot In a municipal elec
tion Is like the casting of a vote among
the stockholders of a corporation when
they select administrative officers. The
citizen who is indifferent whether his
taxes be high or low, Whether his city
he reputably or disreputably governed,
or whether the agents whom he clothes
for a time with delegated authority be
gentlemen or rascals will tomorrow en
ter the booth with a, party ticket and
will vote it without a glance at the
names printed on that ticket. Upon
the other hand, the citizen who is hon
estly concerned in his city's welfare
will cast his ballot reflectively and con
scientiously, being careful not to place
a cross opposite the name of ' any
chronlo boodler, law-breaker, character
less corporation tool, or general knave of
knnvish caliber. and morals. He will
"cut" such candidates, be their party
pretensions what they may.
The best man, on either ticket, is
none too good to bo sent to councils.
An accident to our perfecting press
on Saturday caused delay in distribut
ing some copies of the best Saturday
newspaper printed In the common
wealth; but the short wait served only
to make their welcome keener.
If Mayor Strong will now "fire" Su
perintendent Uyi nes, all may yet be for
given. For a Greater Scranton.
It would be a good thing fonthe wel
fare of Scranton If every newspaper
in this city would agree to desist from
the present habit of devoting separate
news departments to 'the South Side,
the West Side, the North Knd and to
Green Ridge. Tills Is all one city, with
common Interests and alms; and so far
from encouraging a proloiigatlou of the
old-time divisions, It ought to be the
ulm of tho press and of those who oc
cupy public otllce to weld the various
sections of tho city together Into a
more perfect union.
A reform of this character could be
accomplished by concerted rffort, faith
fully adhered to, when it could not be
accomplished by one paper or one pub
lic oMlelal, alone. The advantages of
such a coUHolUlatlou would In time re
llect themselves in a lessening of the
spirit of Jealousy now so ready to out
crop among the various portions of the
city; and in a large Increase of Scran
ton's prestige abroad. The innova
tion would perhaps be resented by
many, for u time; but those persons
would soon get used to it tmd would
eventually, unless we greatly err, be
glad of It.
Is it only an "iridescent dream"?
The judicial election contest in In
diana county serves us an excellent
object lesson of what an American
election ought not to be.
If Eugene Debs Is correctly quoted
in a Terre Haule Interview, what does
he mean by saying thut "we had the
Jury with us unanimously" In the re
cent uncompleted conspiracy trial at
Chicago? How does he know this? By
what authority does he forecast a ver
dict not yet rendered concerning him-
elf as the defendant? We hope that
to his other mistakes the vainglorious
and talkative Debs has not added the
crime of jury fixing.
The Baldwin "science of somnom-
ancy" Is accommodating, to say the
least. It names a new "next president"
in almost each new town.
The Tribune's Platform.
The Scranton Free Press thinks, or
at least pretends it thinks, that "The
Tribune wants a high-toned, exclusive
common council. A body where all tho
members come with their hands en
cased In kid gloves, and who bring
with them pocket editions of Homer's
'Iliad' In the original, so that they may
enjoy the pleasures of translating It,
while the clerk Is reading the ordin
ances on passage. It doesn't want any
ordinary every day men, whose chief
qualification for the ottlce Is sturdy
common sense."
Our contemporary, of course. Is mis
taken. Sturdy common sense Is pre
cisely what we do want, and want
earnestly;' There are some kinds of
councllmen, however, whom we do not
want; and we make no concealment In
the premises.
We do hot want persistent law break
ers elected to either branch of councils.
We do not want to see men sent to
represent the citizens of Scranton In
one of the chief positions of power and
responsibility in the municipal govern
ment who boast of their success In
dodging constables, corrupting voters
or packing ward caucuses.
We do not want to see elected to a
place where they will have at their
disposal nearly $:i.'0,000 of public
money, men whom the private citizen
would not trust ten feet off with ten
cents of his own private money.
AV'e do not take kindly to council
manic candidates who, after spending
considerable sums of money In can
vassing their respective wards, try.
when elected, to got their expenses
back, with usurious interest, from per
sons interested in pending ordinances
We admit that we have no partiality
for tho type of municipal office-seeker
whose only purpose in getting Into
councils Is to "get square" with hM
enemies or play Into the pockets of his
ring backers or political sponsors.
The matter of kid gloves and Greek
poetry we are entirely willing to waive.
In fact, we doubt If any candidate
on any local ticket evinces a fondness
for either. But we do not feel well dls
posed toward the illiterate lingsters
and law-breaking ward heelers who,
about election time, seem to regard the
office of councilman as something duo
to them In consideration of tho costly
"Interest" which they occasionally
manifest in county or state campaigns,
These remarks are not dictated by
partisanship. They are meant exactly
for whom they fit. And the Individual
voter tomorrow ought to cast his bal
lot for the man, be he Democrat, He
publican, or anything else, whom they
do not 'fit, or whom, as between two
evils, they fit the least.
This is The Tribune's platform; and
this It Is prepared to stand by.
Republicans of tho Eighth ward will
make no mistake when they vote, to'
morrow, for W. 8. Millar for alderman.
He is clean, able and deserving.
The Peabody Centennial.
The centennial commemoration of the
birth of George Peabody will be cele
brated today on two continents, and
more than 100,000,000 human beings will
bo caused to reflect, for a brief time,
on the achievements of this greatest of
American philanthropists. To many
of these will probably be suggested a
comparison between the deeds which
make Mr. Peabody reverenced theworld
over and those whloh have caused the
name of a fellow-countryman who died
worth thrice as much to be used,
throughout civilization, as a synonym
for unrelieved cupidity and cold-blooded
greed. For, in George Peabody and
Jay Gould the public readily recognizes
acourate personifications of the two
extreme motives which govern the ac
quisition of great wealth; and in the
careers of both may be found lessons
of lasting ethlcul value.
To recount the biography of the one
Is to antithetically portray the other,
(ieorge Peabody was born at Danvers,
Mass., Feb. IS, 1705. His purents were
poor, and his only education was re
ceived at the district school. At tho
age of 11 he was placed with a grocer,
and at 15 In a haberdasher's shop In
Newburyport. When 22 years old he
was a partner with Ellsha Ulggs in
Haltlmore. In 1S27 he II rat visited Eng
land, where ho settled permanently ten
years later. Withdrawing from the
Haltimoro (Irm In 1841S, ho established
himself In London as a merchant and
money broker, and accumulated a large
fortune. As one of three commissioners
appointed In ISIS by the state of Mary
land to obtain the restoration of Its
credit, ho refused all payment, and re
ceived a speeal vote of thanks from the
legislature of that state. In ls',1 he
supplied the sum required to tit up the
American department of the great ex
hibition. In the following year he sent
a large donation, afterward Increased
to $70.00(1, to found an educational In
stitute, etc., In bM native town of South
Danvers, (now called Peabody.) He
contributed $111,000 to the llrst firlnnoll
Arctic expedition; $1,400,000 to the city
of Haltlmore for an Institute of science,
literature ,and the line arts; $S,U00,000
for the promotion of education, endow
ment of libraries, etc, In the United
States. From 1SG2 to IStlJi, he gave
fur.0,000 for the benefit of the London
poor, uud in his will be left XlTiO.OOO for
the same purpose; halt a million In all,
which has been employed In building
dwellings for the working classes. Ho
died In London, Nov, 1, 1SG1).
The one lesson to lie derived from
this career Is that wealth Is really a
public possession held in (rust by cer
tain men for the public's benefit. No
man of tine moral liber would ever
employ it. as did Jay flould, ns a weapon
with which to club the public b come
to his selfish terms. There are men
of large possessions In Scranton who
use their great resources. Intelligently,
for the public advantage, getting them
selves only a moderate living out of
the trusteeship. There nro in our city
also men of nmplo means who seem
not to have realized their true relation
ship toward the public. If the lutter
would study, upon this day, the full
le3son of the hundredth anniversary of
George Peabody's birth. It would help
to solve the problem of the popular
discontent which is nowadays assuming
at times threatening proportions; and
It would also tell perceptibly for the
progress of this community.
The finances of our government may
be dictated from London, through se
cret arrangement with Secretary Car
lisle; but London dictation will not
save tho Democratic party from the
fate which awaits It in lisau.

will contain the most complote returns
of Tuesday's election printed in north
eastern Pennsylvania. Order the right
paper In advance.
LEGISLATIVE TOPICS.
Well or Jed Common Sense.
Scranton Free Press: We have careful
ly read Jlr. I'arr's compulsory education
bill from beginning to end, and we fall to
find anything in it which Interferes with
tl instruction of children In uny school.
public or private, Bectarlan or otherwise,
In which the parent chooses to have a
hlld educated, provided tint common
Kngllsh branches ure taught. Nor can wo
see that the parent Is deprived of any
richt In the children sent to comfort un.
gladden their homes, saving oniy the
right now enjoyed of bringing them op
in Ignorance. For the good of tho chil
dren themselves, for the good of tho com
munity mid the perpetuation of our Insti
tutions, this right, which uppeurs to us Is
i profanation to call "(,od given," should
bo abridged ut once. Somo of the oppo
nents to the bill tirgiio that because the
constitution prohibits tho appropriation
of commonwealth funds for the support
of any sectarian school, tho state hus no
right to impose an obligation upon tho
school to w hoso support it does not con
tribute. We cannot seo that tho stalo
imposes any obligation upon secular
schools, other than Impliedly to teach tho
common Kngllsh branches, which all of
them do. Tho state contributes nolhliur
to religious Institutions of charity, and
yet, all the Institutions are very properly
under the supervision of the ttato board
of charities. Wo have yet to hear an ob
jection to such supervialon, or that tho
smallest right of conscience hns been In
fringed upon. Wo nrei In favor of compul
sory education, and hope that tho J'urr
bill will be passed.
Thinks It nn Absurdity.
Philadelphia. Itecord: Tho newest curi
osity In the museum of legislative follies
Is the Ilarrlsburg bill to create, a bureau
of plumbing and dralnuge, with a corps
of Inspectors empowered to enter any
house or building it ml direct changes to
be made In the plumbing. Tho everyday
plumber, whom the helpless householder
In only too frequently obliged to summon
to his asslstnnee, is autocratic enough In
ttie exercise of his present power. The
mere, vision of nil absolute despotism of
plumbing inipilsltors who could Invade a
litlzen'B castle nt their own free will and
Imperatively demand changes In the
house's water or drainage pipes Is enough
to awaken wonder at thu ridiculous
lengths to which dreaming legislators are
w'lllng to go.
Hospital for Consumptives.
Representative lliilllths, of Mcivenn, has
Introduced a bill to npproprlato l.ri0,000 to
establish a hospital for tho reception and
treatment of Indigent persons In tho state
suffering from tuliercoilsls, or consump
tion, where It Is thought somo good can
bo accomplished. Tho bill stipulates th.it

years, nml the Institution Is to be known

To Discourage Peddling.
Arrhlmld Citizen's ilarrlsburg letter:
representative Pomeroy, of Franklin
county, hus Introduced a bill to prohibit
hawking nmr peddling In tho common
wealth without a license. Tho bill alms
principally at unnaturalized aliens who
are now Infesting the stain from one bor
der to the other, misrepresenting their
wares and (lecolvlng the people, Mr,
Pmoeroy claims this class of peddlers
during tho past year carried nt least
Jf.,000 out of that county alone. In addi
tion they Injure the merchants of the
state. It In expected by the passage of
the bill that the license required will pre
vent these peddlers from operating In this
state,
