The election of Churles F. Warwick

Penrose Kcptiblicans, lu the terse luh

Some After-Thoughts.
Looking backward. In any relation in
life, is useful mainly insomuch as It
supplies Instruction for the determina
tion of future conduct. A fact once
established cannot be undone; but it
may, upon occasions, serve to prevent
the repetition of a past mistake. We
have already noticed how the adoption
by a thoughtless body of counciltnen in
this city, once upon a time, of a petty
policy of retaliation asainst a promi
nent property owner who had merely
exercised his civic privilege of object
ing to a certain prescribed kind of
street paving, has been the means of
diverting from this community a vast
sum of money accumulated chiefly
within its borders. That fact is fixed,
unalterably. The consequences of it
are Inevitable, and it profits no one
to complain.
Yet there is a certain grim consola
tion in reflecting how Judge Handley's
millions might have been employed,
had the city of Scranton been governed,
during the now celebrated haymarket
Incident, by councilmen of broad views
and liberal character. Suppose, for in
stance, the recent will, concerning which
there is Still so much talk, had be
queathed $1,000,000 or even a fraction of
that sum, not for vague purposes to a
remote Houthern city, but for the en
dowment of a flnefreecollegeln thiscity,
or for the establishment, In Scranton,
of a Hundley Institute for Industrial
training, or for the equipment of a se
ries of first-class public parks wherein
the little children of the local poor
could, in midsummer, breathe pure,
cool air and indulge, to their heart's
content, In Innocent, healthful play
would it not have been a very desirable
consummation? and would it not have
carried John Handley's memory down,
with sincere gratitude, to future gener
ntlons? In the particular case under consider
ation, these questions, of course, are
vain. But there are other wealthy men
In this city who must some day, also,
make their wills, und prepare- to take
the Bame mysterious journey that the
noul of John Hundley has Just taken.
It becomes proper to ask, concerning
these men, whether comiellmanli: liei
titihness or any other cause of like
triviality shall bo permitted to come
between tfiem and the Welfare of their
city. Is there not, Indeed, in tne pres
ent experience, one of the soundest of
possible arguments why the delibera
tions of our public servants should be
broad-gauged and generous; and why
the type of official who finds In his of
llce warrant for grotesque jesting
should be effectually repressed? One
other thought compels notice In this
connection. Why should the wealthy
Kcrantonlun under any circumstances
deprive himself of the pleasure of see
ing, with his own eyes, the good ef
fects of a generous application of his
abundance to the needs of his fellow
Citizens? '
The Delect Ion of "W. R. Millar for al
'derman in the KIghth ward will insure
for that position a capable and efficient
official. His opponent, Alderman Fltx
Blmmons, will retire carrying with him
the good will of the community and
polaced by the reflection that his de
feat was merely one of the fortunes of
war.
A Habit to Be Abolished.
: It la possible that, from this time
' Dnward, no less a personage than the
weather clerk will rid the city of the
' nuisance of salted Bnow alongside the
Btreet car tracks. With the coming of
warm weather, there Will be no further
use for salt on these tracks, and the
nuisance will be remembered only as a
rlal of the past. Nevertheless, the
board of trade Is to be commended for
calling conspicuous attention to this
disagreeable practice of the Traction
company, nnd for taking steps to have
It discontinued.
There does not seem to be any suf
flclent renson why, In the much-trav
eled portions of the city, this method
of conquering', snow drifts should not
give way. to the shovel and the cart.
The city Itself pays for the cleaning
of the street crossings; but these are
seldom more than cleaned before tho
Traction company's salt cur unit snow
sweeper are fixing mutters so that a
second cleaning becomes necessary. If
the snow .at busy street Intersections
were shoveled Into box cars or carts
and hauled outside the business limits,
tho whole problem would bo solved at
comparatively little extra expense.
llegard for dumb beasts, who, where
salt Is used on snow, have to endure a
temperature of, zero uround their feet
while the temperature of the atmos
phere above may be twenty or even
thirty degrees wanner calls for the
abolition of the salting habit. So, also,
does regard for human pedestrians; nnd
particularly tho women, the skirts of
whose garments drag through this ar
tificial slush with disastrous conse
quences. We trust that we have seen
the lust use of suit on the car tracks
of the business district of Scranton.
The news In our HarriHburg letter
this morning that an elaborate testi
monial valued, so far as Its cost typifies
such vuluo, at $1,000 is to lie presented,
by legislative friends, out of their per
sonal funds, to our popular townsman,
ex-Lieutenant tlovernor Wutres, in
recognition of his efficient services
while president of the Pennsylvania
senate, will be most agreeable reading
to his thousands of friends in this por
tion of the state. There Is no question
ing his popularity, both at home and
throughout the commonwealth; and we
shall be much surprised if this con
templated remembrance shall be the
last or the greatest token of this fact
on the record-book of his political
future.
Protect the BallcC.
Announcement Is made that the Re
publican leaders have decided to under
take, in the next congress, an exhaus
tive investigation of southern elections,
with a view to framing effective legis
lation safeguarding the ballot, it Is
explained that with the south rent
asunder by the Populists, who ure as
eager for such an Inquiry us ure the
souhern Kepublieans themselves, It will
be only a question of time until Ihe
purification of southern elections will
have the consent and support of the
south itself, quite as much as of the
north.
It is elaborately explained that the
Republican national committee is al
ready forwarding the movement for
this general investigation. Local Re
publican leaders throughout the south
are collecting data bearing upon the
question for use in making out the Re
publican case. This is to be carefully
sifted und arranged by experienced
men and put into the hands of congres
sional leaders. There Is also much cor
respondence in progress on the subject
of a remedy. Copies of the more suc
cessful election laws in operation in the
eastern states, with full explanations,
are being distributed throughout the
south, and requests are made for opin
ions as to what changes, if any, would
be necessary to the effective applica
tion of such laws down there.
This news would be highly gratifying
if true. We sincerely hope it is true.
The Republican party once permitted
Itself to be scared away from this duty;
but now the people will expect it to
stiffen up its moral back bone and get
to work. While Republicans have no
trace of ill will for the south, they be
lieve that citizens In the south are just
as fully entitled to cast their votes, one
to each man, and to have those votes
counted as cast as are citizens of the
north, east or west. A strong law en
forcing this right would harm no hon
est cause, however It might cause
knavery to outcry and to bluster.
Are you reading our fascinating serial
story, "The Hollow Ruby," by Julian
Hawthorne, on page 6? If not, you are
missing a most Interestingly told story,
by one of the best of American writers
of fiction. No other Scranton paper
prints serials of this high character In
its daily Issues. You don't get the beat
If you don't take The Tribune.
The Lecture as a Schooling.
The distinguished Englishman, Pro
fessor Shaw, who will, next Monday
evening, begin In this city a series of
six lectures devoted to the fascinating
theme, "Venice," enjoys the reputation
of being one of the very best lecturers
connected with the present movement
for university extension. The welcome
accorded to him in other places has
been cordial In the extreme. It should
not be less so In Scranton, where in
struction by means of the lecture hns
not yet attained the, popularity enjoyed
by It In older communities.
The lecturer who Is proficient In his
form of discourse, when aided, as Dr
Shaw will be aided, by the vivid in
strumentality of the stereoptlcon, en
Joys many advantages over the writer
of books. The book which alms to im
part Instruction may be said to resem
ble the patent medicine or the ready
made suit of clothing. It Is often ex
cellent in Itself; and frequently fits
the need of the one wlo purchases it;
but not always. There is sufficient dif
ferentiation among the minds of a
given number of persons, as well as
among their ailments or statures, to
wurrunt the employment of an expert
Instructor who can adapt his process
to each person's individual require
ment. The merit of lecture courses similar
to that under present consideration lies
principally In the superior pertinency
of the knowledge Imparted In them by
lecturers who are skilled In their voca
tion, A word Is seldom lost or mis
placed. The speaker, by simply keep
ing In touch with his audience. Is
enabled to present for Its entertain
ment and Instruction such facts as he
may perceive are of Interest to It; and
ull Irrelevant material may be safely
discarded by him, to Um eoonomy f
both time and energy. Lectures of
this kind are not soon forgotten. Vpon
the contrary, they are assimilated by
the mind of each auditor and Incorpor
ated as a permanent part of the entire
community's culture,
The people elected O rover Cleveland
president deliberately, taking occasion
at the time to retire another servant
whose four years' term of executlveshlp
had been signally clean, patriotic and
creditable, The people, therefore, are
to blame If Grover Cleveland, acting
through the agency of his clerical secre
tary of the treasury, has, by secretly
concluding a contract for the sale, to a
foreign syndicate, at 104V6, of govern
ment bonds worth 120 in the open mar
ket virtually robbed them of $10,000,-
0CN). They have chosen that kind of a
president; now let them dunce to his
fiddling.
The Democratic papers profess to be
very sympathetic these days because
Thomas H. Reed has "lost all his
chances of ever becoming president."
Their mock sorrow may turn Into
genuine grief about March 4, 1897.
Bloodshed Not Probable.
It Is easy to understand why the pio
neer residents of Scranton. who came
here when what Is now the third largest
community In the state was merely a
bunch of straggling villages, should find
It convenient, even after the consolida
tion of most of these vlllnges Into a
single city, to continue the early differ
entiation by culling the West Side
"Hyde Park;" the North Knd "Provi
dence" and "Given Ridge," und by al
luding to the chief industrial district as
the "South Side," The habit of a life
time; Is not easily changed, even where
there Is a desire to change them, which
Is lu many cases apparently absent
funu the present problem.
Vut are the sons and daughters of
these pioneers, who have been reared
to ages of intelligence since the legal
combination of these villages Into the
single city of Scranton, to lie encour
aged In perpetuating the old-time dlH
dinctioiis of division'.' Are they to be
silently permitted to conceive of Seran
ton as still a nest of rival sections, cull
ing for Inter-sectlonal jealousies In poll-
tics, in social life und in the general con
duct of municipal nffulrs? In other
words, is the tendency to be, from this
time onward, toward or awuy from
the primitive idea, with its necessary
waste of prestige, Its sucrillce of har
mony und Its deteriorating Influences
upon local government?
It took a gigantic war to teach cer
tain American stales what was meant
by the word "I'nlon." We, however,
anticipate no bloodshed in the discus
sion of the need of a greater Scriinton;
for we credit the Inhabitants of this
community with sufficient penetration
to perceive that their own best interests
point to a speedy discarding of the sec
tional idea, ami the adoption of an In
telligent spirit of communism with ref
erence to the welfare and destiny of
an undivided Scranton,
People who applauded the action of
the councils some time ago in cieating
a lmyniaiket lu front of the Wyoming
house, are now bewailing the loss of
the mystical millions thut Scranton,
perhaps, might have had, und are
ready to heap abuse upon the purtles
who were responsible for the Wyoming
haymarket. Such, alas! is the ingrati
tude that councllmanlc statesmen ever
encounter in the Klectrlc City.
-
John McBride complains that ills Co
lumbus vindication was considerably
less than twenty-four carats line. Rut,
then, it is probably in keeping with its
subject.
It is thought that a combine of di
vorce lawyers may be back of the
movement to revive the roller-skating
craze.
From all accounts more wind than
cash was expended ut the polls In some
of the central wards yesterday.
LEGISLATIVE TOPICS.
Send the Children to School
AllentoAvn Leader: It will be a great
pity if the present legislature shall ad
journ without the enactment of a compul
sory education law. The Fair measure,
now before the house, Is by no means free
from objection, but us between this und
nothing, the Parr bill Is surely the lesser
of two evils. Its main purpose Is excel
lent and muny of Its provision ure be
yond reproucli. The most eloquent oppo
sition to the measure seems to come from
the Scranton Truth, which, ordinarily u
most conservative und reticent journal. Is
ultra-courageous In its decrial of this edu
cational measure. Hut Its arguments ure
weak, it lights against the bill because
of the paternalism It would Involve. It
denounces It because It says Ihe state has
nu business to pry Into the home. It chafes
because of the inquisitorial character
of the proposed law. Nobody want a sys
tem of paternalism In Pennsylvania.
That Is patent. The sanctity of the homo
ami the undisputed sway of Ihe parent
must be preserved above all things. Hut
If a parent Is manifestly untitled to wield
authority or If he abuses und multrcufs
his offspring, injuring them physically or
morally If ho beats them mercilessly or
deliberately tenches them to steal or plll-
nge the stale has a right to step In and
prevent II. The stute mur.t take the pa
rent's place. And this is puternullsm of
the most admirable nnd benellccnt type.
If a parent Is so grossly negligent of his
child's mental culture us to have no
thought for Its education, but to permit It
to grow up In utter idleness ami Ignorance,
It Is high time for the slate to Introduce
u little of its paternalism Into that house
hold. If father and mm her forsake their
child Intellectually nnd leave It to grow
up In rank Illiteracy, It Is high time for the
state to take It up.
Discerns llio Need of High Sellouts,
Philadelphia Press: Secondary school
are the weakest part of the weult system
of public education provided In this stute
uml the lack of IiIkIi schools lu many parts
of the stute Is little short of scandalous.
1'cnnsylvunla In Its high schools Is be
hind every other stute north of Mason and
lilxon's line, wllh possibly one execu
tion. No Increuso of appropriations for
prlninry und grammar school will Improve
our public schools unless the higher
brunches ure taught, because In the ab
sence of high schools ns the desire for
improved schools grows parents will turn
to private schools If Ihe public schools
slop short with primary, studies. The
practical result is thut. vnltliough our
school appropriation has risen from $4tm, -(hmi
k $r,,riio,iiiK), In muny rural districts
the schools have retrograded beruuse Ihe
absence of public high schools weeds out
the children of Ihe more Intelligent und
well-to-do, who turn to other schools giv
ing the higher brunches.

Olco Hcpcnl Is Possible.
llnrrlsbtirg correspondence of the Pitts
burg Dispatch: The fight for relief
from the oppressive oleo law 19 becom
ing very Interest lug. Tho grangers ure
no longer a unit for the present act,
und of tho friends of oleo can suc
ceed In widening tho breach some of
the bills now before the legislature for u
modification of (he law limy he passed.
A ruconl poll of Ihe house shows fhut the
bill permitting Ihe sale of oleo us such
will have HT voles to t& In tho negative.
The number needed lo puss liny measure
Is 103, so thut IS more ure required. It Is
believed these votes cun be obtained.
Grangers like A. L. .Mnrtln, of Luwretiee,
are willing to support such a bill. Mr.
Martin, too, favors giving the flno to tho
state or county, and thus prevent any
possibility of unscrupulous persons levy
ing tribute.
A Plea for More Vetoes,
Philadelphia Record: The bill to cre
ate a stale department of agriculture has
not reached second reading In the senate,
yet Governor Huntings hus already been
beselged by applicants tor positions there-
in; und the scandal is intensified by the
fuel that Chulinum Moore, of the ngrl
culturul committee, who has charge of
the bill In the house, Is himself an aspir
ant for the position of dulry and food
commissioner. There Is but one way in
which Governor Hastings cun scatter and
discomfit all such besieging purtles of
pluce-huntlng Goths and Vanduls, and
that Is turn his veto battery squarely upon
their compuct ranks. In no other way He
peace und safety.
Muklng tho New Hovcnuo Bill.
Mr. Illter, of Philadelphia, chairman of
the committee on ways and means, In
tends to'glvo the interests affected by tho
proposed new revenue bill an ample op
portunity to be hcuid. lie has addressed
a circular to each member of the house
requesting thut they communicate with
their constituents or those who desire to
appear before tho committee. The boards
of trade of tho various cities will bousked
to send representatives to go before the
committee and stute their desires. Here
tofore there have been loud complaints
from Important Interests that they have
been Ignored In the framing iff the revenue
bills and that they have been Injured by
not having hud the opportunity of being
heard.
Spoiling Siindav Picnics.
Representative Keplmrt, of Fayette
county, has Introduced a bill prohibiting
brewers from holding u. bottleis' license
und limiting tho size of pio kuges sold to
a quarter. Instead of un eighth of a bar
rel. The object Is to give the bottlers a
wider Held of opratlon, und to make It
harder for Sunday picnic parlies to secure
beer.
