The returns from the Seventh ami
Nineteenth wards would seem to in
dicate that Scranton's common council
is appropriately named.
The Councilmanic Elections.
The defeat of Walter E. Davis, Re
publican candidate for common council
man In the Sixteenth ward, by Lorenz
Zeidler, a Democrat, was caused by the
failure of many Republicans to go to
the bolls. To a similar cause may be
ascribed the election In the First ward
of John J. Loftus, an Independent with
Democratic leanings.
Last fall First ward Republicans for
governor polled 622 votes against 22."
Democratic votes, or a total of 844 votes.
On Tuesday, the Republican candidate
for common council, D. H. Reese, polled
only 373 votes out of a total of 7S1, being
defeated by 33 plurality. It is safe to
assume that two-thirds of the 63 per
sons who voted for governor last fell,
but who, on Tuesday, did not vote at
all, are Republicans, who, had they been
apprised of the importance of support
ing their party ticket, would have voted
for Mr. Reese, thus Insuring his elec
tion. Why did they not come out to
the polls?
Tn the Sixteenth ward, on Tuesday,
. Mr. Zeidler received a vote of 266 to 215
cast last autumn for Candidate Singer
ly. This would seem to Indicate that 51
Republicans voted for the Democratic
candidate. But on the other hand, Mr.
Davis received only 200 votes to 3S3 re
ceived last fall by Candidate Hastings,
a falling off of 134 votes. Even sub
tracting from this number the 51 votes
of Republicans who supported Mr. Zeld
" ler, what became of the 134 Republicans
who apparently stayed at home? Why
were they not brought out? Two-thirds
cf them could have defeated Mr. Zeidler
and thus secured councils to the Re
publican party on joint ballot.
The Eighth ward aldermanic contest
shows that it is possible, at a spring
rfectlon, to bring out the entire vote.
The total vote polled last fall In this
Ward was 541; on Tuesday It was 561
General Hastings received only 310
votes to 323 polled at an oft election for
Candidate W. S. Millar; and Editor
Blngerly only 231 to 245 polled Tuesday
by Candidate Fltzslmmons. Here Is a
gain In the total poll of 27 out of 568, or
4.7 per cent., as against a falling-off, in
the First ward, of 63 out of 781, or a
trifle more than 8 per cent, and in the
Sixteenth ward, of 134 votes out of 466,
ur 28.7 per cent. . . .
It Is apparent, we think, from those
Jig urea that Republicans should not rest
too easily on their oars, If they expect
to keep proper pace with the Dem
ocratic procsfllon. The -stay-at-home
Republican especially should read these
figures over and paste them In his hat.
David Martini will get 'the congratula
tions; but we venture to predict that
Warwick will be mayor.
More About Compulsory Education.
The esteemed Lebanon Report, which
two jears ago was an ardent supporter
of compulsory education, has evidently
changed Its mind. It now says:
Tho aim of a compulsory school law Is
Universal education; this universal educa
tion is deemed essential to good cltlz.'n
ehlp. No one denies the latter proposition.
The ballot must be In the hands of Intelll
jftjnt men, to be of any value. The only
question Is whether compulsory educa
tion will have the desired effect. Will It
raise the status of general Intelligence to
so much higher a standard as It must If
It would Justify Its existence? A compul
sory school law would entail a greatly
Increased number of public officers, it
would entail an annoying system of es
pionage Into that privacy which above all
hould be snored that of tho home; It
would entail a greatly augmented trial
list, the great burden of the ruses being
for the consideration of what, though a
crime by law, will with great difficulty he
recognized as such by the accused. Burn
ere some of the odious features of an
odious law. The solitary redeeming fea
ture ils the possibly Improved grade of
Intelligence.. To Justify the passage of
such a law there must be an undoubted
and practical benefit assured; this benefit
must he great in proportion to the odium
of the law, for it Is a universally recog
nized dictum, that a harsh law is jiiU
Jled only by tts undeniably superior ef
fects. Recognizing this harshness and un
pleasantness of such a law what grounds
do we have for supposing It necessary?
In other words, comparing Pennsylvania
with her sister states which have such
laws In operation does she suffer? Are
her citizens Inferior In average Intelli
gence? Is there greater corruption at the
polls, and are her legislative and execu
tive and judicial departments of govern
ment of a lower order than those of the
states which have tried compulsory edu
cation? We must conclude that she does
Hot suffer In this comparison.
This would be a strong argument If
Its premises were true. But are they
truer, There are, In this state, ap
proximately 150,000 boys and girls of
school age who do not attend school.
We venture to say that not one parent
among the parents of these children Is
Ignorant of the fact that the failure
of these children to receive an educa
tion involves a gross injustice an In
justice, flrst to the children themselves,
who are thus thrown upon their own re
sources without adequate preparation
for life's battles; and secondly, an In
justice to socloty, which has a right to
bo protected from the many-sided' cx
pensiveness of an illiterate element.
Upon whom would tho hand of a
wisely drawn compulsory education law
tall? Certainly not upon parents whose
children are u I ready In school. These
parents, constituting by far tho greater
fraction, would entirely escape the
operation of such a law; and the extra
tax cost imposed upon them, In support
of the law's enforcement, would, If felt
at all, be more than compensated by
the decrease which more general edu
cation would occasion In the cost of our
police courts and our Jails. The hand
of the law would full, then, only on par
ents whose children do not go to school
a small minority. And. among these,
It would escape all who can offer valid
excuse for such non-attendance, and
fall simply on greedy, indifferent or In
corrigible parents In whose eyes child
hood has no rights und purentago no
sanctity.
We Bay, let It fall on such parents;
and, If necessary, fall hard!
Although It is a habit we have, PltU
tonlans will please make note of the
fact that The Tribune printed 4 he full
est election returns of all the morning
papers. You don't get the best if you
don't take The Tribune.

The Decline and Fall of Piatt.
To an outsider who Is privileged to ob
serve things lu the Impurtlal capacity
of a disinterested spectator, there Is lu
progress, at this time in New York
state, a most diverting political comedy-drama.
The main Incidents that
led up to It are generally familiar.
They comprise tho election of Levi 1.
Morton governor and of William L.
Strong mayor, the former as a Republi
can who would, It was promised, be In
sympathy with the reform movement
on Manhattan Island; and the latter as
a non-partisan business man pledged to
govern his conduct us mayor solely by
his conception of the public's real needs
The election of these two men, by
pluralities in excess of even their own
wildest expectations, caused consterna
tion, first to Tammany, which found It
self presumptively dispossessed of great
spoils; and seoondly to one wily Indi
vidual, ostensibly Republican but in
reality only personal, who had, when
it suited his purposes, been Tammany's
efficient assistant; to wit, the honorable
Thomas C. Piatt. Tammany recovered
from the shock Just In time to hear Mr.
Piatt chanting forth from the house
tops that it was all his victory; and to
see him plunge, all undaunted, into the
task of trying to cozen favor with
Mayor Strong, so as to bag a large pro
portion of the mayor's appointments.
As a safeguard, he hud first got Ills Al
bany lieutenant, Senator Lexow, to pro
pose legislation for New York city
which, if passed, would have laid the
foundations of a new Tammany, with
the self same Thomas as absolute high
chief.
Great was his grief when the afore
said Piatt found that the legislature,
under the scrutiny of Dr. Parkhurst and
the civic movement which he repre
sents, would not pass the Lexow bills.
But this shock was as nothing com
pared with that which he experienced
when, one fine morning, he read in his
newspaper that Mayor Strong had exer
cised his authority as the representa
tive of the people, by making non-partisan
appointments to the chief city de
partments, heading the list with the
name of an honest man whom Piatt had
once deliberately betrayed. When he re
covered the power of speech, he sent
post haste for a reporter and poured
forth the vials of his wrath. Then he
summoned his henchmen to a confer
ence and divulged a desire fur
r-r-r-evenge. Lastly, he rushed off to
Albany, to see Governor Morton; but
the consolation that he got from him
was evidently riot re-assurlng, for Just
before he had reached Albany, a ma
jority of the Republican assemblymen
from New York city had signed a state
ment virtually repudiating Piatt, and
his old-time protege, ex-Senator Fas
sett, of Klmlra, was telling the Ciothnm
reporters that "we cannot, as a party
or as Republicans, place ourselves In
the deplorable light of trylnir to out
Tammanylze Tammany In the rush for
spoils and plunder. Let Mayor Strong
go ahead In his non-partisan work, and
the people will uphold him."
Meanwhile, Mayor Strong, merely
smiles and says: "No, sir, I don't pro
pose to allow any legislature in Albany
to Interfere with my actions here.
They can gj ahead and do as they see
fit there and I will go ahead and do as I
like here, considering only the best In
terests of the people and the city from a
non-partisan standpoint."
From the report, on another page, of
the finance committee of the recent
Klrmess, It appears that nfter all debts
had been met, there remained a total
of $8,549.1,7, which has been placed nt
the disposal of the Lackawanna hos
pital. An additional $200 may be real
ized from the sale of nertuln contributed
articles. Considering the severity of
the weather n gainst which the Klrmess
had to contend, this Is certainly n mng
nlflccnt showing, which reflects the ut
most credit, not only upon the generous
persons who planned and nmniiKcd It,
but also to the public which sup
ported It.
If Chairman John E. Roche only hnd
a party behind him, we suspect he
would prove a big stumbling block to
Republican aspirations. Luckily, he
hasn't.
Politically speaking, Hon. Thomas C.
Piatt appears, at this writing, to pre
sent the most remarkable example of
sudden and rapid shrinkage on record.
The cause of counctlmanlo purlfica
tion in Scran ton apparently stands ad
journed for one year.
Pattlson, like Cleveland, went once
too oCten to the mill.
An Indiana man Is lying at the point
of death suffering from a fractured
skull. He objected to having his wife
kiss a pug dog when she would not kiss
him. A disturbance was raised over
the question In which the woman's two
sons took a hand and results were as
above stated. The example cited will
no doubt prove satisfactory to dog own
ers. The man who expects to Btand on
an equality with a pet pug In his wife's
affections certainly needs some effect
ive argument to convince him of tho
error of his way.
We could, without violating prece
dent, cast ridicule upon the quality of
the 7.898,125 cigars which Deputy Reve
nue Collector Green of tho Ninth dis
trict uHsures us were manufactured
lust year In York county out of York
und Lancaster Jeaf tobacco. But ni do
that would be to strike a blow at a
home product, as well as to UBperse
tho nlcotlnlau comforts of thousands
of esteemed fellow citizens who would
prefer a York "toby" in all Ils uncouth
ness to the llnest island growths In tho
tropical' seas. And why should any
sane journal do that?
The people of Athens, Ga., are to be
congratulated. They have just success
fully Intimidated a troupe of "Uncle
Tom's Cabin" barnstormers which had
booked to play lu that city, und have,
thus, us one paper put it, "rebuked that
vile slander on the manhood and honor
of our fathers." Sound the tocsin und
get out the band!
A revenue license of $2, per year on
each bicycle Is proposed by a Chicago
alderman. The Herald very correctly
contends that If It Is necessary to tax
vehicles at all, they should nil be treat
ed alike. The antl-blcycle legislator
these duys Is treading a dangerous
path.
There dors not appear to be any rea
son to doubt that Hurry Hayward, the
Minneapolis murderer, Is an ubiiormal
crimliiul, devoid of moral qualities. Hut
we see no particular reason for wishing
such uneniotlonul monsters to remain
ulive.
General Lew "Wallace, In referring to
Armenian troubles, Bays that It Is In
credible that the sultan of Turkey
would wink at anything. General Wal
lace evidently wishes to convey the Im
pression that the sublime Porte Is pos
sessed of u glass eye.
Talk of Lexowlng Philadelphia by
way of Harrlsburg should from this
time forth subside. The citizens of
Philadelphia have demonstrated their
entire ability 'to govern themselves.
Another emphatic protest has been
registered against the theory that mar
riage Is a failure. This time It is a
resident of Kentucky, aged 93, who has
just wedded his seventh wife.
The fledgling city of Plttston proudly
enjoys the distinction, If It be a dis
tinction, of being 'the only city In Penn
sylvania in which the Democrats have
held their own.
A message of thanks from Mayor
elect Warwick to Brother-in-law Alex
ander McClure would fittingly round
out the amenities of the occasion.
. .
Pittsburg's celebrated "blind pool"
operator has been legally pronounced
not guilty, with the supplementary ad
monition to "not do It again."
Only a few more days, and Scranton's
fragrant wooden block pavement will
again be diffusing Its succulent sweet
ness among the sons of men.
Robert Emory Pattlson Is now pre
pared to receive bids and specifications
for a tombstone and a hearse.
Ex-Governor Pattison lacked about
70,000 votes of being a "man of destiny"
on Tuesday.
LEGISLATIVE TOPICS.
Distribution of School Appropriations.
Norrlstown Herald: A proposition in
the legislature to change the bnsls on
which the state appropriation is distrib
uted to the various districts of the com
monwealth, Is Intended to give to sparsely
settled districts nn undue proportion of
tho money set apart by the legislature for
the lienellt of education. The money Is
distributed now In proportion to the num
ber of taxaliles, an utterly arbitrary meth
od, because It hus no possible connection
with the number of pupils, which ought to
be the rule in this cuse. The proposed law
change the basis from the number of
tnxuhles to the number of schools, an
equally arbitrary and unfair plan. Th'i
number of pupils to be educated Is the only
fair basis of distribution. That should be
ascertained by a census of children of
school age In each district. The money
for educational puipuses ought then to be
divided according to Ils results uinonir the
districts of the stale. While u change is
being made It should be made according
to the. principles of justice ami common
sense, without reference to whether they
urn sparsely or densely peopled, since all
citizens lire expected to pay tuxes on the
sumo basis.
Another Silly Hill Punctured.
Reading Times: A bill bus been Intro
duced lu tbe legislature by Representative
l.uilen. of this city, providing that 2.0H0
pounds shall constitute a ton of coal, as
sold by retail dealers. The regular ton,
of coal or anything else, calls for 2,Uu
pounds. There would seem to b no se
rious objection lo Mr. 1, mien's proposi
tion, ns It makes no substantial differ
ence how many pounds are counted to a
ton, only so that the pun-hnscr Is not de
ceived or mistaken as to how many pounds
he Is buying and pay for. As the mutter
stands now, as ll ruin he expects 2,'JHI
pgunds, but probably often gets 2.IHHI, and
In some eases perhaps oven less. Hut If
Mr. I. uden's bill should become a law,
what Is to prevent the dealer whose con
science will permit from giving him, say,
l,8im pounds?
Condemnation Not Yet Deserved.
Norrlstown Herald: As usual in every
legislature, many foolish and extravagant
measures have been Introduced, but they
have taut been passed. lOven should any
of them run the gauntlet nf the two
houses. Governor Hustings stands ready
to veto them, und there is no doubt what
ever that Hie slate treasury will find In
hlni a faithful protector. It will be time
enough to bluuin the leglsntuin when It
shall hnve committed the blunder of ex
travagance. The members of the major
ity are all aware that this Is no tlme'for
recklessness In appropriations, and that
the future nf the Itcnuhllcnn party, ns
well as the public welfare, requires the ex
ercise of the strictest prudence und the
most careful scrutiny of every measure
which takes money out of the state treas
ury, und they will act accordingly.
Soma Keapportlonmcnt Mans.
Harrlsburg correspondence of the WII1
lamsport Times: The Sixteenth congres
sional district composed of the counties
of Lycoming, Potter, Tioga and Clinton,
Is likely to lie torn usumlor by the congres
sional apportionment committee, now nt
work on the apportionment bill to be pre
sented when the legislature reconvenes.
Thero Iik trouble In this district every two
years because of the conferree system and
the Republican leaders are anxious that
this difficulty be removed. Just what
counties are likely to be taken from the
district and the ones to be substituted has
not definitely been dotermlnd upon, but It
Is probable thut Potter und Tioga will be
cut off und Union and Snyder added. It
hud been suggested that Clearfield and
Center be attached to Lycoming and Clin
ton, but as this would make a formidable
Democratic congressional district of the
Sixteenth the Republican legislature is
not likely to make such M move.
