Elevation above the tide, 740 feet, llxtremely healthy. Estimated population, 1S93, 103,000. Iteirtatered voters. 20,699. Value of school property, $900,000. Number of school children, IL',000. Average umount of bank deposits, $10. COU.OOO. It's the metropolis of northeastern Penn sylvania. Can produce electric power cheaper than Mlmrara. No better point In the United States at Which to establish new industries. Bee how we grow: Population In 1880 9,223 Population in 1870 So.OOO Population In 1880 45.S50 Population In 1890 75.215 Population In 1894 (estimated) 103,000 And the end Is not yet. If It should ever come, in this coun try, to a question of a conflict between church and state, the state would win, so let's not worry about It. Looking Forward. It Is extremely improbable that a public which the Democratic party fooled as It fooled those to whom, In 1S92, It promised tariff reform, with In creased prosperity thrown In, would take much stock In anything which that party might say, next year, with reference to silver. We therefore dis miss, as of small concern, the conjec ture, which seems to perturb some of our esteemed Republican contempor aries, that the next national Dem ocratic convention, by coming out un equivocally for the unlimited free coin age of silver, may give the Republicans trouble. The people have had a too recent and too-vivid demonstration of the negative value of a Democratic promise to lead them to Intrust that party with the delicate work of reform ing the national currency, no matter what results it might forepledge. ' Nor do we alarm ourselves with the thought that the new "Sliver party," so-called, into which there Is a disposi tion among Populists, socialists ami wild-minded men generally to hurl themselves, will seriously complicate the presidential battle one year from next fall. Certain elements In our citi zenship have been In this condition of political astasia for more than ten years. They have oscillated violently and reverberatlngly from one fad to another, each time uttering prodigious predictions of what they were going to do; but despite all this nervousness and high-sounding promise the nation has maintained a fair degree of equili brium; and the Intelligent majority of its citizenship have successfully man aged to retain possession of their souls, their bodies and the greater portion of their property. In other words, sane government still lives a little the worse for Democratic wear and tear, perhaps, but by no means beyond the hope of redemption. It Is possible that there may, within a few years, be a recasting of the party line in this country, but It will not oc cur prior to next autumn; and if Re publicans shall be as prescient as they liave often shown themselves to be, It Will, so far as they are concerned, not occur at all. All that the Republican leaders need to do Is to apply the fundamental principles of their party to each new Issue, Upon the platform of protection to American ' Interests they can, with entire consistency, re tore to American silver Its right ful place as a money metal on a parity with gold; and at the same time, by application of the same principle, they can shut out the flood of cheap foreign silver which would, if sliver coinage at our mints were unlimited and free at the ratio of 16 to 1, Inundate this country nine fathom deep In bank ruptcy and depreciated values. Only their unexampled density can Jeapord the chances of- Republican restoration and long continuance In re sponsible power. . , - - - e, i I, . . A more extended acquaintance with Mayor Strong of New York tends to confirm the suspicion that he is the right man In the right place. Not Fools, by a Long Shot. It Is not necessary for the true pa triot. In time of peace and general pros perity, to bolster his patriotism up by an oath, nor plot for his country's Safety behind guarded doors. It is not necessary for the true religionist, in de fense of his faith, to proscribe honest men who seek to reach heaven by somo Pther pathway. ' If,Amerlcan liberty means anything, It means openness, frankness, courage of oonvlotlon and willingness to do bat tle, man-fashion, with face and weapon boldly fronted toward the foe. It does not mean the skulk of the Jackal In the treacherous shadow nor the coward plow of the sealot In ambush. In Andersonvllle prison, during the tat for the Union, a Protestant and a Catholic lay wasting away with dis ease and the awful tortures of that In famous rebel hell. There came, before It was too late, an opportunity of es cape; and Protestant and Catholic to gether sought life and hope and friends. They live today, in a Northern city, eminent citizens, aide by side. Do you think that these men, who shed their blood together, can today be turned into deadly enemies by the fool mount ings of the American Protective asso ciation? The notion is nonsense. Nor are the American people fools. We do 'not believe thut the most rabid opponent of capital punishment will Mud It In him to object very strenu ously to the application of the hempen penalty to that Minneapolis monstros ity, Harry Hayward. Men like Huy ward and the late Carlyle Hurris are exceptions to all known rules govern ing human conduct. Upon th'cm the in fluences of civilization appear to be wasted. No scheme of human im provement appeurs to be ingenious enough to effect their reclamation. Cold-blooded us the proposition limy seem, they apparently deserve to bu exterminated by society as It would exterminate the mad dog or the reptile, through the operation of tile supreme law of self defense. Inexplicable Contrariety. The treatment accorded last Friday evening by the joint estimates commit tee of councils to the Item appropriating money to Nay Aug park ui'fords u new demonstration of the need. In councils, of a greater representation of brains. As the items stands, $2000 Is assigned in payment of labor on the park, and JtiUO for the payment of one polloumun to protect those who shall frequent that resort. Before any labor of conse quence can be performed in the park, it will be necessary to secure designs for the arrangement of the park, which can not be done without calling In the ser vices of a landscape gardener. But the sapient economists of the joint commit tee have refused to approve an item for the payment of such u gardener; hence if Friday's action shall stand, the only use for the $2000 appropriated to the credit of "labor" will be found In paying men to pick up stray sticks and to trim myrtle bushes; while as for the police man item, It passes all comprehension how our esteemed couucllmen can ex pect one lone officer to spread himself over almost a square mile of wood land with sufficient ubiquity to preserve even a Bemblance of order. The disposition of this committee to thwart the wishes of the people as ex pressed In their overwhelming vote in favor of public parks Is the more singu lar when it Is understood that the bene ficiaries of Nay Aug park would not be the "well-to-do" residents of the Seven teenth ward, against whom the com mittee appears to have an irreconcilable grudge; but would, instead, be mainly the boys and girls and tired parents of the South Side, West Side and North End, to whom its bounteous acres would, In mid-summer, afford a most welcome sylvan retreat, cool, refreshing and health-renewing. Wa venture to pre dict that comparatively few residents of the Seventeenth ward would find It necessary to frequent the park, because the most of them have ample home lawns, or else remove, in summer, to cottages by lake or sea. The park system for which the park commission ers are striving is unythlng but a self ish enterprise. Thelr's Is pre-eminently a work designed solely for the public good; a work of phllanthrophy, the greatest benefits of which would accrue to the sons and daughters of the poor. Why the representatives of these con stituencies should seek to throw imped iments In the way of such an enterprise Is more than we can explain, upon any hypothesis complimentary to the pres ent .membership of the estimates com mittee. If there Is a rational explanation, we should like to know it. We can see, on the face of things, no reason why the owner of a bicycle should not pay toll for the use of a toll road, as well as the owner of any other vehicle. The supreme court, which has this subject under advisement, will In our Judgment decide that the wheel is not a privileged vehicle of transport. An Easy Way Out. There Is undoubtedly a growing opin ion among the people that the discre tion allowed to license judges under the Brooks law la too ample. This belief Is well stated by the writer of a com munication to one of our Pittsburg ex changes, when, apropos of the theory that licensed inns are necessary to ac commodate the publlu and entertain travellers, he says: The time was when travelers rode on horseback or In light wagons, and when thirty miles was a fair day's Journey. Then the wayside Inn was to be seen ev ery few miles, and the tired and worn traveler, hungry and sore, must stop fo-.' rest and refreshment. But now men ma whirled from town to town, by a power grown up within the Inst fifty years, and at the end of each night they land nt a well furnished hotel. Th wayside Inn no longer stands, and the weary traveler no longer Journeys to need iln comfort ami convenience. Another change has taken place. The time was when whisky ami brandy were supposed to give men strength and endurance, and the traveler stopped ever and anon to refresh his spir its and renew his strength. But long ob servation and science have shown thmt the stimulating spirit brightens but for a mo ment, the heart weakens, the strength subsides and the secondary stage Is worse than the primary. Now the Judge, un mindful of past and present In the work of years, still holds to the old Idoa of ac commodating the publlo and entertaining ntrangers and travelers, and notwith standing the remonstrances Of the people provided for In the Brooks law, grants the license over their heads. It is fair that the majority should rule. It Is fair that if a preponderance of the citizens of a particular locality do no( want a licensed Inn In the midst of them, their Wishes should be re spected. This may bs virtually local option; but, whatever Its name, It Is a recognition of the essential principle of republican government; and Its general and unwavering application to 'the granting of liquor licenses would not only remove from the shoulders of the law Judges an enviable responsibility, but It would also still the voice of cap tious criticism by placing In each com munity the right to settle the liquor problem to BUlt Itself. The Philadelphia Record thinks that "behind the movement for compulsory education is the Idea that compulsory education Is equivalent to compulsory morality." Again, It declares "it is not truo that education limits crime." Tho Record evidently shares the barbaric belief thut "Ignorance Is bliss." Facts are arising, as the days glide by, which perceptibly strengthen our conviction that New York and Penn sylvania have a pair of Republican governors whom it would be exceed ingly hard to surpuss. If the Republican party at Albany shall try to relieve the citizens of New York of the duties of self-government, all we can Buy is thut it will muke a big mistake. Democratic conventions may resolve as they please concerning the silver problem, but It will take Republican statesmanship to solve it. The factory law says youngsters dare not work. Now let compulsory educa tion keep them out of mischief by send ing them to school. The streets of Scranton begin to look something like city streets. May the good cause know no setbacks! There Isn't enough capital in the free silver question to float a new political party into power. COMPULSORY EDUCATION. The Pittsburg t'.ommerclulGaetto Re bukes tho Partisan Organs. "Some of the political organs of the state nro trying to work themselves Into a con dition nkln to frenzy because of the pas sage by tho house of the Fair compul sory education bill. They can see In It nothing but demagogy, bigotry, Intoler ance and tyranny an assault upon the personal liberty of the citizen, and an at tempt to do something wholly Impractic able and impossible. Twice before tho Pennsylvania legislature passed a meas ure of this kind, but It pleased a Demo cratic governor to strike it down with his veto. He presumedly represented his party In doing so, and the organs which supported him then must preserve their consistency by attacking the bill now. We risk nothing In saying that these vio lent assailants of the Parr bill do not mean what they say when they charac terize K as demagogic clup-trap Inspired by sectarian fanaticism and intolerance. "There Is nothing In the bill which passed the house with such extruordlmiry unanimity to till with aluim the friends of personal liberty and religious freedom. It Is very moderate. In Us demands. It re quires that children between 8 and 13 years of uko shall receive at least Blxteen weeks' schooling, or two-thirds of the mini mum school yeur. If the pupil resides two miles from the school, or is prevented by physical, menial or other urgent reasons from attending, it can be excused. At tendance on any school, or instruction at home, will exempt the child from the re quirements of the act, and a teachers' ceitllleate us to such attendance or home Instruction must be accepted as conclusive of tho fart. School attendance Is sought to be enforced against a very large class no one knows how large whoso absence from school Is without reasonable excuse. "These opponents of compulsory educa tion seem to forget thut considerably more than one-hulf of tho stutes have slmllur laws in operation, it Is worth noting, too, that the states maintaining the highest educational stamuirds are those which have Joined In this movement. Pennsyl vania has been lagging too fur behind In this matter, and alio effects of Illiteracy are found In the statistics of Its penal Insti tutions. Had the arguments which were urged In favor of the repeal of the common school art sixty years ago prevailed and they were about as reasonable and vulid an those now being urged against the Farr bill Incalculable Injury would have been Inflicted upon the commonwealth. It Is to be hoped that the senate will pass the bill, and that all classes of citizens, In stead of finding fault with It, will heartily Join In Its enforcement. It Is certainly worth a fair trial." (iivs I s Home Directors. From the Scranton Free Press. it pleases us to nolo the fact that E.'B. Rturges, esq., has been chosen a director of the Lackawanna Iron and Steel com pany. It Is not necessary for us to suy a slngl" word In relation to the standing of Mr. Sturges as a citizen of this city. The only point we wish to muke Is thut It Is a decided advantnge to Scranton to be well represented upon the directories of the greut corporations centering here. Tho stockholders and directors who reside In New York, or elsewhere far removed, ran only be expected to lie Interested In Scranton to the extent of lha nmuunt of dividends they can draw from their In vestments, while the resilient directors ii nd stockholders have. In addition to their sclllsh Interests, a pride In the city which will lead them to make efforts In 119 behalf! Again, they live among their workmen, know their needs, are familiar with the facts and circumstances If any question of dispute should arise between tho corporation and Its workmon and would be well inclined to do their neigh bors Justice. Scrunlon Is now 'well repre sented upon the directory of the Lacka wanna Iron and Steel company. Besides Mr. Sturges, W. W. Scrunton and Jumes Blair are members, and Walter W. Scran ton, though a resident of New York, Is a Scrantonlan at heart. " An Honor Worthily Bestowed. From the Scranton Freo Pre. Nothing In the power of Governor Hast ings to do could give pleasure to bo many people In Backnwanna county lis the ap pointment of Colonel l'.zru II. Ripple to a pluce of high honor In the National guard. Colonel Itlpple occupies n higher place In the tiffed Inns of the people tliun any other citizen. Ills splendid services In the War of tho rebellion, his sufferings In south ern prison pens, his escao therefrom with the bay of tho bloodhounds In his ears, en title him to most respectful regard. Ills career in pence, us a private citizen, as a civil officer und ns a. military olflcer in tho highest proof of his great capacity. Be Is foremost In ull enterprises for the good of the community, and his sympathy with the poor and his open-handed generosity In relieving their needs In only another Illustration of the fact thut "the bravest are tho tenderest." No one can have re lations with Colonel Itlpplo without soon becoming Impressed with till true manli ness end the high standard of honor and Integrity of his dally life. We congratu late lm upon his well deserved promo tion In the Natlonul guard, and hope thut h may ytt be crowned With higher lion ors. Another Kind of Uatno. ' Pittsburg Commerclal-Oasette.

Bully Horoscope Brawn by AJuechus, Tho Trlbuas Astrologer. Astrolabe cast: 1.38 a. m., for March 11, 189S. A child born on this day will wonder why Mr. Van Valln has succeeded Couu cllmen Sweeney and Regan as leader of the night lunch reform movement. Upon examination of some of the build ings constructed during 1WM-G, he will also wonder whether Scranton Is Inhublted by architects. If all the back and side entrances had been us securely closed us the front doors yesterday, it Is probable that the effects of tho eclipse would not have been so ap parent upon the faces of many today. .Ajacchus' Advice. Do not Insist that Scranton la the model city for order und cleunllness until you have Inspected the portion of Spruce street between Franklin and Wyoming avenues. If you are a single man, never, In the presence of witnesses, squeeze the hand of a maiden past thirty. Avoid talking about pure politics in the presence of common couucllmen.
