Veto It. There Is no disposition among reflec tive Scrantonlans to pmbarru'w the Scranton Traction company In its proper function ns a public ag"iiey f transportation. The public b.-netlts if a str-H-t railway system, when that sys tem !s managed with reasonable llher iility and true enterprise, are undei-i-nble. They far outweigh the necessary disadvantages of such a system, nris-ii-g from the occupation of public high ways by private capital for purposes of pain. ISut It is essential that a corpora tion of this character should know when it has got enough: and it is also -i-ntiul that the citizens of tin- nun mufilty in which It. operates should V.nyk? when th-ir rtghls are being dls-jT-garded ami their representatives In the city councils tampered with or de ceived. An ordinance has r-v-ently passer) "!"utioils giving the S-jran'o;i Tiaction cotrpan.T the right to lay a double track on Franklin avenue, between Spruce street and Lackawanna avenue. Its passage, in our opinion, was not warranted by the facts. The fourteen members of common council who voted for It on third reading did so knowing that th-i property owners along Frank lin avenue were unanimously opposed to the ordinance: that the reporting of the ordinance from committeo was ac complished by thrift and stealth: that eommlttees of citizens asking to I;h heard In opposition to the ordinance were refused a hearing and openly snubbed; that the ordinance is unneces sary for the city's welfare; thu,t the Traction company's double tracks 0:1 Wyoming avenue are suiflel-int for any probable Increase In the company's business under Its present ownership; and that the laying of a second track on Franklin avenue, as contemplated, would Indict thousands of dollars 01 loss upon the owners of aboMing prop erty without one penny of compel. 3a tlon. Knowing these tilings. Mn-ir ac tion was Indefensible; ar: thn public W'-lfare makes It obligatr ry upon the mayor to undo It with rfveto. The Scranton Traction company has made a reputation in this community for grabbing public streets and I'rao rhlses which renders people suspicious of Its purposes and methods. It has heen profuse In Its promises of a bet tered service; of live-saving ear fen ders; of promptly-observed schedules and abundant facilities for' those will ride. TTpon these reprr .( nlatlons, among others, valuable grants liav heen obtained for It, free of cost. We submit, In a spirit of entire friendliness, that before this corporation expends any more money on new loi.le.iyand rights, It ought to give evidence to the public that It remembers lis responsl hlllty to the public By the death of ex-CongVcssman Itlchard Vaux Philadelphia lofx-s u citizen whose eccentricity of manner was more than compensated by his loyalty of friendship and abounding kindness of heart. Alive, his pictur esque personality was a continual re minder of the old school of gentlemen Pcholars that constituted the glory of tho republic's early days; dead, his memory will abide, as that of a true friend and an upright and Illustrious citizen. The majority of Scrnntonlans will . doubtless be pleased at Mr. Ilurke's as surance that General Manager Ueetem, of the fcranton Traction company, will not depart from among us. As the ex ecutor of a policy originating in Phila delphia, he tnny not fulfllll the demands of the local public; but we do not be lieve that his personal judgment always hows In his ofllclal work. And It Is probably unfortunate, for Sorantoii, that Philadelphia plays so large a part In Scranton's rapid transit. There may be special reasons why, on windy days, more line dust and sand get hurled Into the eyes and mouths of Scrantonlans than Into the eyi-f and mouths of residents of most other cities of corresponding size. Hut promi nent among them will have to be placed the obvious Inability of the street clean ing department, cither through Inca pacity, luck of funds or both, to keep the streets clean. lict Rid of the l.asli-Crackcrs. Complaint Is unusually emphatic at llarrlabuig, this session, concerning the number and the methods of the stand ing "legislative committees" which vol untarily and often Impertinently assist members of the two houses in their transaction of public business. The Pennsylvania Orange has one commit tee of this character; and others are maintained by the American l'roteetlve association, the so-called patriotic or ders, the various secret labor organiza tions and by dozens of societies repie Hentlng special trades.vocatloiisor forms of mercantile enterprise. Some of these committees are civil and respectful, and routine- their work at I lit- capital to an-sw crlng questions put to them by members of the assembly and to at tendance at sessions of the house or senate committees In which their con stituent are interested. Others, how ever, forget that their very presence is owing to tolerance; become conceited, dictatorial and overbearing; and try, not rarely but daily, to crack whips over 'the heads of legislators us If the latter were a pack of children. A sample of the activity of the latter class of organized lobbyists may be cited in the work of the organizations tl'.at recently fought the bill to create the position of state custodian. For weeks this economical and sensllil measure was literally "held up" by lob byists hostile, not to the measure itsel!', but to the religious faith of the man whom it was expected to benefit. Mem bers favorable to the bill were threat ened with the vengeance of oath-bound secret societies, and some were even cowardly enough to lot these imper tinent bulldozers in the lobby dragoon tliem Into a course of action contrary to tln-lr own preference and judgment. Fortunately, the manhood jnul dignity of the legislature in tie- end got tin mastery of thislndecision; but the same trouble is liable to recur at any moment and under any administration so Ion;; as secret organizations are permitted to employ legislative "whips" to meddle with the work of the public's legislative servants. We hold that the legislature of Penn sylvania, deriving its election from the people, is responsible only t the peo ple. V.'h' a it becomes in-eessary for the latter to employ a second group of ser vants to act as spies or task-masters over the legislators, t'bey will probably make constitutional provision f..r the same. The presence at llarrisburg of special agents or bosses, assuming to Issue commands In the name of certain oath-bound societies, lodges, associa tions or orders, is at once an Insult to the legislators themselves and to the people, their constituents. A law should be enacted rendering criminal the em ployment by any chartered body of such legislative autocrats; and the. penalty for Its violation should be Imprison ment of the lobbyists combined with forfeiture of their employers' charter. Secretary tliesham, upon being iues tioned by a newspaper correspondent concerning tho dismissal of Minister Thurston, Is quoted as having pettishly replied; "That affair Is none of the public's business." I'.nt it Is rome of the public's buslnes; and permit us to suggest that thepublic will perhaps be in business after Secretary fliesharn shall have gone out of business at Washington, V. C. The Future of English Politics. The letter from Mr. Thomas Aubrey, !r. arioth'r place in this Issue, correct ing an erroneous Inference suggested by a recent paragraph In Tin- Tribune, and giving an interesting review of the present sonv-what chaollo condition of English politics, will repay perusal. Mr. Aubrey takis a radical view of the subject, but there Is little doubt that he accurately ejtrs now-existent facts. What will be thought by our read "is, however, of the radicalism of Mr. Fran cis Wnyland Olcn, who in a letter to the Sun lays down the appended conclu sion'' liefore Mr. filen's radicalism, that of Mr. Aubrey pales Into mild con servatism. Mr. tlb-n says; The most expeditions way for the eonstl tutloiuil Irish party In tireat Krltaln to e car" home rate for Ireland l to permit the Tory pally to obtain power, and for the friends of Ireland here who support the nnt'-ilynamlte Irish party In Creat Itrlt iitn lo i'X"rt their lnlliieiiee Pi every pos sible constitutional manner to secure Hie pollileiii union of the fulled HtateH ami f'anndn. The end of the monarchy would soon follow, und (treat I till 11 1 11 would be come a federal republic, with Ireland. Scot land, Knglnnd and Wales as hovcicIku states In a federal union. Ireland would then secure much more than she now de mands so far us her right to control tier own local affairs Is concerned, From my standpoint, for some yeai s past 1 have con sidered tho control of leguilatlou by the Liberal party In F.nuiand and Canada as a stumbling block In the way of the unifica tion of this continent and the creation of the republic of Creat llrltiiln. The forces In Canada which favor continental union can be united, controlb-d, directed and concentrated for that purpose against the Tory party when In power with greater ease than against the Iilhcral party in control of legislation anil administration. Tho same Is true of the forces which de sire tho downfall of tho monarchy and tho creation of the republic; of Clrest Krltaln. This calls to mind the casual remark tif that scholarly Kngllshman, Itev. W. Hudson Shaw, made during a recent lecture In this city, to this effect; "We Englishmen seem fond of asserting that our government Is a 'consditu- tlonal monarchy. Hut, of course, we all know, In our hearts, that It Is really a republic and we shall keep up tho thaslc of monorchism probably only so long as we ran find sovereigns stupid enough or noble enough lo consent to be figurehead kings und queens." A change during the present sovereign's lite time Is fat- from probable. Hut who knows how far the democratic spirit In Knglnnd, now at last awake to the consciousness of Its power, will consent to curry the amiable deception Into the Twentieth century? There Is manifest Justice In the claim of Falitor Charles A. Dana that if he Is 'to be. tried for libeling Frank It. Noyes,' the trial idiould take place in New York, and not In Washington. If the principle be allowed In his ;ase that an editor may be dragged for trial to a distant state or district, the It will be merely a question of time when every newspaper with positive convic tions will have to employ a traveling editor to fight Its long-range legal bat tles. The New York courts are presum ably us fair and capable as lire the courts of the district of Columbia. If .Mr. Noyes feels convinced that be lias a clear case against (the editor of the Sun, he would strengthen his position In public opinion by toeing the scratch like a man, - - Some of our Wllkes-llarre contem poraries complain that the Luzerne del egation at Uarrisburg is not lining up to Its political opportunities. They compare it with the Lackawanna del egation, and the comparison is natur ally In the hitter's favor. Hut this does not Necessarily signify that Luzerne county Is misrepresented. F.qualllng Lackawanna is entirely beyond its ca pacity, and, therefore, in fairness, ought not to be expected. - The position of commissioner of min ing, with Its $1,000 a year salary, travel ing expenses, patronage, perquisites and pulls, unquestionably looks very tempting to the professional agitator, as he views it in the glimmering light of his personal desire: but it would nevertheless be a huge disappointment V those few honest persons who yet fancy that It would In any sense pro mote the public welfare. Representative Fow, of Philadelphia, the minority's chief comedian, has in troduced a Carbondale new county bill, thus carrying the Joke u step further. This Is a great year tor the humorist In politics. .

Interest in the coming sliver debate between iCharles Ifelier Clarke and Keillor Charles Kmory Smith, both of Philadelphia, Is somewhat augmented by the fact that the champion of the gold side Is by many considered a sinalorial possibility to succeed Senator Cameron, who is generally credited with originating the discussion. There were those hereabout who. a week ago. professed to sre combinations pointing to the certain elcetlon to the Culled Sales senate, In ls:ii, of a I'lilladelplilan. Some thought 111 tor Smith might be the beneficiary; others. District Attorney George S. (ira ha.n. This view of the situation is not so prominent, now that Senator juay has de cided to carry the war on liavld -Martin into the enemy's country. Itut It Is still sutliclently prominent lo invest with pe culiar Interest a speech by Charles Kmory Smith on the side of the silver question opposite to that held by J. Ilonnld Cam eron. To f acilitate Tax Collection. Mr. Wyatl, of Schuylkill, Is the author of a bill which Is engaging considerable attention. It concerns receivers ami col lectors of taxes. It provides that receiv ers and collectors shall furnish each per son on payment of taxes with a numbered receipt, settling forth date, name, amount of tax and district In which tax Is assessed from a book containing a stub, anil tint on the stub a memorandum shall be made In Ink of the same. That ten days before each election the receiver or collector shall send a. sheet, to the ottlee of the conn tv commissioners containing a duplicate. Tin- first report Khali be for luxes re ceived on and after June 1, IKii.'i. The commissioners are required to have the repot Is bound and kept for the Inspection of the public. This would be a big ac commodation lo political committees of cities in ascertaining the names of persons qunllllnl lo vote. Holler Inspection Hill. A bill has been introduced by Represen tative Kenms providing for the Inspection of stemn boilers and the examination of steam engineers. It was prepared by .lames Lappan, of I'll tshurg, chalnm-ii of Hie committee on uniformity or state Inspection laws appointed by the Ameri can Holler Maiiufanturers' association. Oulsldo of l'hduilrlphla and Alli'g!uuy counties there Is no olth lal boiler Inspec tion provided for at present and the bill proposes that such n safeguard to life and property shall be extended to the whole stale. The bill provides for the appoint ment of a supervising Inspector, a prac tical steam eimlneer, who shall with the approval of the governor appoint six lo cal Inspectors who shall each cover n seo arale territory and provides that all en gineers sliitll be examined by tho Inspec tors and licensed before being permitted to perform their duties. Armory I'.lll I nvornhly Hoported. Tho house municipal corporation com mittee has reported favorably Benator t'p permun's bill for the appropriation of pub lie properly for Natlufnil guard armories. This Is the measure In which Colonel K. 1 1. Hippie, of Scranton, is Interested, to Retlier with other prominent N1UI011.il guard ofllctuls. Wants Olcn Colored Pink. Senator Mitchell, of Jefferson, has Intro duced a bill lo amend the law prohibiting the sulo of oloo'-piirgarlmt by adding the words "unless such article shall he col ored a deep pink." The cnaltlcs are In creased by $.7m tine or six months' Impris onment for the first offense and two years' Imprisonment for tHc second. Good Konds Outlook Gloomy, The bill Introduced by Mr. Orlggsby, of Lavrenco, creating t'. townships of each county corporations for the purpose of maintaining and Improving public roads, and providing for county conventions to formulate, regulations for i.tich Improve ment, has been defeated on second reading by a vole of liii to f,9.
