THE SCRANTON OF TODAY. Come and inspect our city. Elevation above the tide, 710 feet. Kxtremely health. Estimated population, 1895, 103,000. Heglstered voters, 20.UI9. Value of school property, $"00,000. Number of school children, 12.000. Average amount of bunk deposits, $10,' 100,000. It's the metropolis of northeastern Venn ylvunla. : Can produce electric poworheapor than Niagara. No better point in the United States at wnicn to establish new industries. Seo how we stow: Population in 1SC0 9,:21 Population In 1S70 85,l Population in 18Si) 43.8V) Population in 1SS0 75."1; Population in ISiH (estimated) 103.000 Ana tne end Is not yet. The safest way, aftar all, to settle this public school question is to elect fair-minded and Intelligent men to membership on boards of control. . Common Sense Shed on a riuddlcd Controversy. Our esteemed contemporary, the Dio cesan Record, sounds a gratifyinttly broad and charitable note In connection with the so-called religious garb bill when It says: "Our idea of the differ ence between public education and pa rochial school education is so well de fined that we do not understand how a teacher trained to teach In the one school can teach in the other. The pub lie schooi '.:acher would not be Justified In teaching any form of religion, and the parochial school teacher would be recreant to his or her vocation In neglecting to teach religion by lesson and example. We do not desire to S'v sisters undertake to toaifli In any school where their Identity is lost and re ligion relegated from the school room and consequently the garb bill Is not a source of worrlment to us." Except among tho few but noisy fanatics who stir up most of the current strife upon this question, there no where exists a feeling of antagonism toward the gowned sisters of charity and mercy connected with the Catholic church. Impassioned defences of them are unnecessary, for the reason that they are not assailed. Every Intelli gent citizen knows and appreciates the Infinite good achieved by these sisters In their daily ministrations among the poor, the sick and the afflicted; Protest, ants will vie with Catholics in testify Ing to their unselfishness, their deVi tion and their purity of motives and character. The only question Is whether, as serv ants of a particular church, to which they are wedded by most solemn vows, they can consistently teach In the pub lic schools, from which religion In Its sectarian applications is constitutional ly debarred. We agree with the Dio cesan Record that they cannot. But the assertion of this belief cannot fairly be construed as involving any reflec tion upon the Bisters themselves, when their ministrations are restricted with in proper jurisdictions. If It were clear that Spain would properly appreciate our delicate con sideration in refusing to embarrass Its Borely-trled home Kovernment, the president's easy going policy In the Al llanca affair would be more acceptable. But a nation which makes a practice of firing on Yankee vessels whenever It Is out of humor will, we fear, hardly estimate our cooler-blooded moderation at Its true worth. An Important Situation. The Imperative demand of Great Britain upon the republic of Nicaragua for $75,000 "smart money," to bo paid within seven weeks, In atonement for the affront to the British crown Implied In the alleged wrongful expulsion of British Consul Hatch from Ulueflelds Is something concerning which the United States government has no right to Interfere. It Is perhaps an unrea sonable demand, but It is at least an excess In the right direction. If our own state department would more fre quently err in the direction of emphatic assertion of American rights, and less frequently In the abject surrender of those rights, through want of back bone, it would soon enjoy a superior prestige to that which it now possesses among; the nations of the earth. The second item in England's de mand upon Nicaragua is, however, more serious. Its insistence that the claims of Consul Hatch and other Brit ish subjects for damages alleged to have been sustained by them In connec tion with the Ulueflelds incident shall be arbitrated by a commission of three, no member of which is to be a citizen of any American republic (In its origin al form this Item read "not to be a cltl een of .the United States") involves an of prime importance, which may t as well be settled now as at any. later time. It Is not possible for the government at Washington to resent this exclusion directly; but If, in the event of a default by Nicaragua In lh. payment of any claim of money, Eng land should, following her usual cus tom, undertake to seize Nlcaraguan territory, that would Beem to offer an unequulled opportunity for such an as sertion of theiMonroe doctrine as would forever settle tho question of the su premacy of republican Influences in the western hemisphere. The Issue, in brief, may be stated us follows: Prolonged supineness on tho part of the American state department and equally noticeable Indifference among the American people to foreign affairs have caused the aggressive rul ers of Great Britain to plan a daring raid upon the territory adjacent to the proposed Nlcaraguan canal. Oneo suc cessful In this design, England could laugh at America, whose control of that Important trunslsthmlun waterway when it shall have been built would thus be effectually voided. Therefore, England pushes its exaggerated claim with a shrewd vlow to provoking u crisis at u time when she fancies tho American people, In their general dis gust at the Democratic! domestic ad ministration, will be unwilling to ob struct her purposes. It is u pretty bit of strategy; but it Will not succeed. - - - There would be a consoling amount of poetic justice in tho alleged coincidence, should It prove true, that while Eng land was planning a smart grab of strategic territory near the route of the contemplated Nlcaraguan canal, her traditional rival, Itussla, was complet ing an alliance with Japan which will mean the wane of British and the rise of Kussian supremacy in the Orient. Porcine diplomacy often overreaches 'i self in Just such striking manner. The Snubbing of Bismarck. Without assuming to understand the motives of the Socialistic opposition in the German relchstng to the president's motion warranting the delivery of an ofliclal messuge of congratulation to the venerable ex-chancellor, Prince liis murck, It Is entirely Bafe to say that this churlish action will have a worse effect upon those responsible for It than upon the distinguished octogenarian at whom it was aimed. It newly reveals the ugly seriousness of the socialistic leaven In snldiery rldden Germany; Its thinly disguised ferocity and lack of line discrimination. Thus It will Inspire the governing forces, headed by an Impetuous em peror, to renew their efforts at repres sion, and the result, as felt by the average citizen of the fatherland, will bo increased taxation und augmented severity on the part of the abounding military and civic oliiclal?. To an American spectator, the wonder Is that the people endure all this. l!ut the American would perhaps think otherwise If he had behind him the his tory of a dozen centuries teaching the patient subordination of the citizen to the state. Will democracy ever pre vail in continental Europe? Perhaps not 03 we know It. But it seems to us Inevitable that a revolution will occur In the relations of state to citizen a revolution of which these grumblings of socialism and blind obstruction are but the faint and far-ahead premonitions. A question of tho utmost difficulty Is likely soon to confront the legislature, in the necessity of fitting $13,000,000 worth of expectations to f t!).-0fl0.u00 worth of available, canh funds. It is reported that the general appropriation bill providing for the expenses of the state government and the public schools und the appropriations to the various state penal and charitable In stitutions will wipe out i very cent of the nineteen millions which the state fiscal officer estimate will be the reve nue for tho next two years, leaving absolutely no prospect of those InsUi ttlons not under state control receiv ing any aid. The check-rein on legisla tive extravagance has evidently not yet been sulllelently tightened.' The civil service reform bill prepared by the Chicago Civic federation has be com" a law In Illinois. It provides that upon application of 1,000 1 'gal voters resident In nny city, the county court must authorize the submlFsIon to pop ular vote, in that city, at the next ensu ing general election, of the question, "Shall civil service regulations govern appointments to and promotions In mu nicipal olilces not elective by the peo ple or by certain boards, such uh school boards?" The law Is a comprehensive one, und Is designed to limit the uIjuko of public service by partisans using it for the reward of unfit henchmen. Its operation will be watched with Interest. Senator I.exow, of New York, has the satisfaction of knowing that If his probing oommlttee caused Taminnny to be bounced from office, his reckless obe dience to I'lutt dictation In the matter of the police reform bills Ih going to make It easy for Tammany to crawl back. The Richmond Times says It doesn't care a rap for the Monroe doctrine. But that Is less strange when we reflect that the Times hasn't cared a rap for anything worth mentioning, since Lee's surrender at Appomattox. As to the report that Governor Mc- Klnley has moderated his ultra-protection views, that, after all, would bo only keeping step with the people. The prcbablllty is that the tariff ques tion will not cut a large swath in the next presidential campaign. Rev. Dr.' Worden, a Presbyterian pas tor of Detroit, knows of men "who spend ten or twelve yoars getting ready to Secure a place in some luxurious pul pit. They want to be fawned upon and flattered by the rich, and do nut care to do Christ's work." It Is a gratifying reflection that pastors of this type are raretles in Scranton. . We assume, of course, that when our esteemed 'Providence contributor, Mr. Bowen, In Saturday's odo to the Lack awanna river, urged ' it to fondly breathe Us fragrance to the air, he meant no reflection upon the board of health. Treachery In the ranks of the-Cuban patriots may delay but It cannot over come tho Inevitable; which Ih, first Cuba's Independence, then its annexa tion to the United States. Life has Its compensations. The de feut of womuu suffrage In Massachu setts Is no sooner announced than we have the Illinois legislature considering u bill to tax bachelors. The Republican leglhlatlve mnjorllles in several states that we could name should not forget that self-preservation is the first law of politics, us well us of nature. The number of capable Chinamen In olllclal life Is so few these duys as to redouble the general gratification over i.l Hung Chang's escape, from ussussl nallun. Suppose that the liotioruble James Kerr should succeed In capturing the scalp of the 1 lonoiubli; William liar rlty. What would It prollt Him? Tin: TKN-rooT limit. 1'i'Om the Sc runlon New. The properly owners of tills clly in gen eral, pride themselves upon being public spirited. They declare they ilrsiiv lo see this city Imiliiiif by lemons oi lis attrac tive dwellings und wide streets. To n very i;re:il degree they me ul.lo to enhance tho bounty of Scranton by exercising tl.nt public spirit of which they pnile uo loudly, .ilihcuiHh It may Involve some personal saeiiliue. Tor Instance, the "ten-foot re servation" which p.-nnits property own ers to take advantage of und which makes an t nct'oachnicn I upon thu width and therefore the attractiveness of a street, If concurrently ilclermliied upon, will saerl llee the public Kiiod for Individual greed, l!ut If the property owners with an eye lo the beauty of the city und the public wtlfaro shall waive their rights und let the city have tho benuiit of the ten feet they will be ultimately benellllng them selves und enhanclns the value of their property by the concessions made for the public weal. The Tribune, very properly. In commenting on the Btiggestiun of City Solicitor Torrey urges property owners to agree upon a uniform lino of frontage cilher inclusive or exclusive of the ten foot limit, us n street is always marred by Irregularities, however ornate the buildings upon it may lie. A bette r way, however, and one which would subserve the public Interests more would be nil nirrecment to waive the ten-foot limit und thus secure uniformity of frontage by af fording wider sidewalks und more pre tentious thoroughfares. If the property bus become so valuable In this city that men can't sacrlllee a portion of It for the gcnerul welfare, thi n let them build sky ward, which will not be obtrusive, but not forward until our si reels shall be like those of Constantinople or of l'ekln, upon which two vehicles re unable to pass. The Common Senc View. Krom the Scranton Tree Press. in this country, where liberty of belief Is guaranteed to everybody, the belief of ull should bo respected, und In schools supported by general taxation und open to the children of all classes of people, no exercise should bo held which Infringes In the slightest degree upon tile religious rights of any of the pupils. If the senti ment prevails In this commonwealth thnt there should be religious Instructions in the public schools, tho only fair means would be to divide the school appropria tion among rlei omlnational schools. We believe that the sentiment of the people of this commonwealth Is almost unani mous against such a division of public funds and the. f ranters of the constitution of 173 wisely' provided that no public funds should be so appropriated. This being the and the desire of every body In this country being to live in peace and' harmony with his neighbors it Is mo-st unwise 10 introduce into the public schools anything which is apt to excite prejudlc-i or cause acrimonious d!seti:loii uniong the peop!
