Spain is too little a nation to be 'engaged In the business of shooting at the American flag. If Spain Is not Careful, It will get its ears boxed. What They Didn't See. TVe sincerely trust that the delegation of Philadelphia councilmen which vis ited this city yesterday was not piloted within viewing distance of the stretch of abominable wooden-block pavement which extends on Spruce street between Franklin and Wyoming avenues; and that It was not permitted to see similar patches of this antiquated style of road way which disfigures certain other por tions of our fair city. "We should not like to have these amiable visitors feel that Philadelphia has been deprived of the proud honor of possessing the worst paved streets to be found any where In these United States. We also hope that these distinguished callers were not permitted to contrast the kindling-wood architecture which runs riot In the central business por tions of this city, even Jutting out over half the sidewalk In Its eagerness to display its own unslghtltness, with tbe subdued yet substantial type of brick and stone structures in which Philadel phia domiciles Its conservative self. The Philadelphia type of building may not be ornate as to its decorations; in deed, we are of the belief that It Is dis tinctly plain, If not ugly. But It pos sesses the saving merit of absolute safety. 'A conflagration in the business portion of Philadelphia would be al most Impossible. Brick and stone and marble doorsteps, whether handsome or homely, certainly do not contribute to the hilarity of the Are fiend. The itinerary of yesterday's august Visitors Induces the hope that they like wise did" not inspect that portion of 'Soranton wherein the festive cow is wont, in the budding springtime, to camp out on private lawns or wander demurely on tessellated sidewalks, and this Is no small gratification. Neither did they, to our knowledge, explore those mysterious conglomerations of wood and plastering which, on certain favorite streets, do service as rookeries tor the accommodation of ten or a dozen families to the single lot; and for this we are duly thankful. Indeed, Judging from the brevity of their stay among us It is reasonable to assume that they have departed, deep In that Ignorance at . Bcranton's weak points which, to both them and us, Is as suredly praiseworthy bliss. , The Altoona Tribune ha discarded Its four-pane form, 1n favdr of an ex ceedingly neat one of eight pages, with Dl.t columns to the page. Its publlsh trs have nvmled themselves of this change to equip the paper with a hand come new rtfess of brevier type. The Tribune is cne of the most Intelligently Conducted rewspapers In the country, mid Its prouptrlty. Is a signal compll fnent to the dlrcerximent of Its readers. Constitutional ' Amendments. Representative Nlckell, of the Twenty-eight (Philadelphia, district, ha in troduced a Joint resolution proposing two constitutional amendments of con siderable importance. One provides for the election, in even-numbered years, on the first Tuesday following the first Monday in November, of members of the legislature, representatives to con gress, Judge of court of record, and any officer or representative to be elected by the vote of the qualified electorof thestate-at-largej while simi larly, on the same November day In odd-numbered years, county, city, ward, borough and township officers BhdU be chosen. . The other amendment make the term of the auditor-general, all county offi cials, magistrate, aldermen, Justices of the peace and constables four year in every case, Instead of three, present term to be extended if the amendment hall prevail. The advantage of thla change ilea In It concentration of all election within on month of each year. It would probably make the odd years even less Interesting than they are now; but the experiment would be In the direction of simplicity, and is there fore worth trying. Its adoption by this legislature Is, however, doubtful. We do not agree with the esteemed Wllkos-Barre Itecord that to keep sec tarianism out, of the public schools of Pennsylvania Is a. work of "Intoler ance." This paper has no sympathy with the explosive Spanglers of the Harrlsburg legislature, nor with the prescriptive principles of the American Protective association; but it is by no means prepared to say that the schools of the commonwealth, In whose sup port every male citizen la taxed, may be given over to any religious denomina tion, whatever Its doctrines. The In tention of the founders of the public school system was that It should be kept free from sectarian Influences. That Intention, far from being Intol erant, Is the very essence of liberality, since In a community In which one de nomination may largely predominate U protects the feelings of the minority. An Impudent Proposition. There Is pending In the senate at Harrlsburg a bill of remarkable pro visions, which the loglslutlve committee of the Pennsylvania Orange Is endeav oring to have enacted into law. The bill makes it the duty, of the state board of health to appoint one or more per sons In each city, borough and township of the Btate, who are to be known as inspectors of meats. The duty of the Inspector will be to Inspect all meats slaughtered and shipped to or within the district of said Inspector. Upon receipt of any con signment of slaughtered beef, sheep, veal or swine It Is made the business of the consignee or receiver to notify the inspector, and the same Is not to be removed until inspected and tabbed. The Inspectors are to get $2 for each beef carcass and fifty cents for each quarter, and $1 for each carcass of sheep, veal or swine, and twenty-five cents for each quarter. Animals raised and slaughtered by Pennsylvania farm ers are, of course, to be exempt from the Inspection and the fees. The purpose of this impudent propo sition Is apparent. It Is an attempt to Increase the cost of dressed meats to the consumer. Six years ago the grang ers sought to prohibit the importation Into the state of meats 'dressed in another state; but that effort to regu late Interstate commerce by state en actment speedily met the death that it deserved. Now, the same end is to bo sought by requiring Chicago dressed meats, which at present undersell the Pennsylvania product all the way from two to ten cents per pound, to stand the expense of a double Inspection, one at the sniping point and the other at the point of distribution. By this means the Pennsylvania cattle grower hopes to fortify his possession of the market, and to levy tribute on every poor consumer In the large cities, by shutting off a valuable source of cheap food. The principle behind this measure is not that the meats which are dressed In Chicago are unwholesome and danger ous to the public health, for so ab surd a claim as that could not stand a single hour. The legislative commit tee of the grange knows full well that several brands of Chicago beef are sold in Pennsylvania' markets side by side with the products of Keystone butcher lngs, are just bs healthy and edible as the latter, and after paying all the expenses of the long Journey by rail can yet be sold at prices considerably below those of the state grown meats, which are utterly Insufficient in quan tity to supply the demand. The only motive of this bill, apparently, is a desire on the part of the cattle grow ers to exact higher prices. To grant the demand would be to vote thousands of dollars every year out of the pockets of the artisans and middle classes in the cities of the commonwealth, Into the pockets of the already overpaid venders of home-cured meats. It would also be to create a large body of fat feed officials whose presence In the com munity would be nothing short of a downright imposition. Senate bill 183 is a good bill to kill. Now that the esteemed grangers have their department of agriculture, for which there was no particular demand outside the ranks of the place-hunters, It ought to occur to them that there Is danger In overdrawing one's account. His Cake Is Dough. The feathers are flying over In York state. To the Corning Dally Journal's suggestion that "Mr. Piatt" meaning, of course, Mr. Thomas C. Piatt, ex-boss "has never wavered In the support of those cardinal measures upon which the history and reputation of the (Re publican) party are grounded," Hon. J. Sloat Fassett's Elmlra Advertiser re sponds: The Advertiser does not think that the history and reputation of the Republican party are grounded upon such behavior drove William Brookfleld out of the chairmanship of the (New York) county committee. It does not think that the his tory and reputation of the Republican party are likely to be Improved by the pursuit of the threatened policy of re taliation and revenge at Albany. It does not believe that the history of the party Is to be Improved or Its reputation en hanced by placing it officially, through Its majorities In the legislature and as a matter of record, In deadly opposition to long-promised reform legislation. Tho Advertiser does not believe that the history and reputation of the party will be Improved by deliberate pledge-breaking and platform-smashing, it does' not believe that tho history and reputation of the party are grounded upon any doctrine which teaches that one man's whims and one man's fancies are all there la of the party. Nobody wrnts to read Mr. Piatt out of the party; they want to get him back Into the puny, lie Is capable of do ing splendid work for the party, and there fore those who wish the party vj.ll are sorry to see him In any collusion with the Democracy at the present time. There Is plenty of room, In the party for all. There Is room iu the party fur everything ex. cept bossism and bullying and pledge breaking and promise-smashing. In 1833 the party went to the devil on Mr. Piatt's account, but that Is no reason why It should go there again on his account. We prbpose to keep tho party together If possible and keep it In safe territory keep it In the line of Its best thought and bent forces and best purposes. The reply of the Plattltes to this center thrust will be awaited with Inter est, but It will not possess Importance. To an outsider who looks on merely from curiosity It appears to be very clear these days that the Honorable Thomas Collier Piatt, at this stage of the game. Is, so to speak, not in It. Ho has had his term at the crib for nigh on to a score of years, and the only thing he has ever accomplished for the party has been, with one exception, uniform and dismal defeat, and even that ex ception became an exception through the Blagieness of purpose of Matthew Stanley Quay. Piatt's effort to appro priate Mayor Strong has failed; his effort to pocket Governor Levi P. Mor ton has failed, and if he is not careful, even the old guard of the legislature will leave him to his deserts, Just as ex-Senator Fassett has done, who was once the cMef of Plattltes and the favorite lieutenant. Sic semper tyrannls; which beitij freely Interpreted means "Thomas' cuke is dough." Having cut loose from the domination of "Boss" Piatt, ex-Senator Fassett loses no time In the necessary effort to establish himself firmly at Albany. He has already let fly the banner of Gov ernor Levi P. Morton for the presidency next year. Among many points of merit which Mr. Fassett thinks such a candidacy would have Is that "Mr. Morton's name would be a tower of strength in a campaign for honest cur rency and honest money and honest business dealings." But what kind of an "honest money" campaign would Mr. Morton conduct? One on the basis of Wall street monometallism, which would probably lose for his candidacy every electoral vote west of the Missis sippi river, or one on the basis of honest bimetallism, with the free coinage of American silver thrown in? It Is Bome what important to know in which camp he would train. It seems probable that the reported firing, by a Spanish war vessel, on the American merchantman Alllanca, off the coast of Cuba, will turn out to be much exaggerated, if not wholly un true. But even if true, Spain will prob ably soon acknowledge its fault and proffer proper Indemnity. The experi ence of Spain upon a prior occasion, when its penchant for hasty cannonad ing ce:t the treasury at Madrid a large handful of compensatory ducats, is not so ancient as to be devoid of instructive vulue at this time. Senator Cameron's reported anxiety to convert the legislature to his way of thinking on the silver problem will be regarded without disfavor If he shall eschew the use of silver object lessons, Senator Flinn's bill to raise the age of consent from 16 to 1,8 years will have the support of all friends of morality. It ought to pass unanimously. LEGISLATIVE TOPICS. Harrlsburg, March 14. Opposition to the bill creating the oftlco of state custodian Is dying out and It would surprise no otic should the house agree to a special order on this measure. It Is reported that Cap tain John C. Delaney can be Auditor Uen-eral-elnct Mylln's chief clerk If he desires, but ho will in all probability land as slate custodian. The Superior Court Hill. Tt Is understood that the governor frowns upon the plan to have the house Increase the number of Judges of the pro posed superior court from five to seven when the bill comes before It. It Is said ha will not sign the bill with that number. Ha Is also In favor of increasing the Dem ocratic representation on this proposed bench from one to two, believing that It would be more fair and acceptable to the people. Air. Mooro Willing to Compromise. Representative' Moore, of Bradford county, who Introduced the bill to create the new department of agriculture, hoped to bo named as the first secretary of agri culture, but It is now settled that Colonel Thomas J. Edge will get thtit place. Mr. Moore would, It Is believed, consent to the deputy secretaryship, which is worth $3,000. Wanted to Do tho Night Thing. From Harper's Young People, A Maine, newspnper tells an amusing story of an Irish hotel porter. A boarder Ln the hotel, who had been In the habit of beln? awakened at (i o'clock every morning? happened to be out of town for a day or two. On his return he went Im mediately to bed, and Pat did not hear of his arrival until about 5 o'clock the fol lowing morning. He didn't know whether to wnko the boarder at the usual hour, and for some time he worried greatly us to what his duty was. Finally at half past live, anxious to do the right thing, he rushed up to tho stuirs and pounded vig orously upon the door. "Well, what's wanted?" was the sleepy response. "Nothln's wanted,'' said Pat. "Only ol'd lolke to know, soor, do yes want me to waake yes up at 0?" Sousa Should Wrlto a Symphony. From the Wllkes-Ilarre Record. Mr. Bourn will never lave his name printed In an edition de luxe, unless his muse takes a higher flight than it docs In his marches. Old man Strauss, "the kin? of waltr.es," had to write a symphony to get his picture In the royal gallery. Tn vain did ho point to his genius us exempli fied In his fascinating dance music and re call tho fact that Schubert first wrote waltzes. Finally his wife, who knew he had more "talent than Bcores of classic writers, made him sit dovVn and compose In the higher form. After that he was welcomed among the four hundred. Chopin, too, had a similar experience. Short pieces for the piano gave him no standing. George Bunds knew tthls and urged him to write on a more ambitious scale. And so he did. This Is a pointer for Mr. Sousu. . ' A Gem of the Printer's Art. From the Olyphant Record. The directory of business enterprises In Scranton and vicinity, recently Issued from The Tribune print, Is a gem of the printer's drt. The artistic workmanship displayed in this volume, Is most credit nblo to Business Munugcr W, W. Davis, When The Tribune la called upon to de fend the efficiency of Scranton printers, 1U most powerful argument will be this ad mirably executed volume, which will bear a thorough examination. Is a llumuuo Hill. From the Philadelphia Inquirer, Bonator Thomas' bills requiring employ ers to provide seats of some kind for wo men when not actively engaged ln. the discharge of their duties. Is a humane bill and ought to encounter no opposi tion' in either house. Many shop keepers and factory owners have already done this with results which are perfectly satlsfae tory to themsnlves; but still others com pel their employes to stand whether idle or busy. Senator Thomas' bill Is Intended for their benefit and should be passed. Clvlo Duty Left Undone. From the San Francisco Chronicle. The curse, the crying evil, the portent ef danger to this country, is Inclvlolsm. What need could there have lit en for a I.enow commutes ln New York If the res pectable element of that city had been awako to Its political duties and the exi gencies of the times? How can ten men control a ward convention or a caucus ex cept when ninety out of a hundred stay away? How are nominations forced upon a party unless the majority of that party neglect and Ignore their duties to them selves and their fellow men? It is very easy to Bay in politics as ln anything else, "Am I my brother's keeper?" but that is just as poor an excuse for crime or dere liction of duty and one is as bad as thi other aa It was when it was originally propounded. Tho American Itch for Office From tho Houston Post. V. The average American will go any lengths for an office and often at a posi tive personal sacrifice, so strong Is tho political mania In the United States, but the unprecedented rush and scramble of late for even paltry positions unquestion ably has a pathetic as well as a ludicrous side. The hard times have driven men to seek ofllco who would not huve dreamed of doing so a year or two ago. The ap pointing power all over the country Is said to be dully astonished ait tho respectable and prominent applicants for ofllces with out special honor and but poor pay. TOLD BY THE STARS.
