We are glad that somebody here abouts has at last begun to awaken to the fact that the present councils of Scranton are not the quintessence of wisdom, honor and discretion. Maybe when another election comes 'round, there will be steps toward a general improvement. I Let It Be Fairly Tested. Because the Farr compulsory educa tion "does not go far enough," cer tain patriotic orders In Allegheny an nounce that they will prepare a more drastic substitute. In addition to com pelling school authorities to furnish ac commodations for all children between the ages of S and 13 years, which is un necessary since many children will re ceive their education in private or parochial schools, the proposed substi tute bill contemplates the appointment of a deputy superintendent of public in struction, whose chief duty presumably will be to draw a salary of $1,S00 a year and look wise. No doubt the Intentions of these Al legheny amenders are excellent; but we take this occasion to remind them that Rome was not built in a day; und that Pennsylvania will be very fortunate if after a decade of experiment along the line of compulsory education all the children within her borders shall re ceive the education which Is their right ful heritage. The Farr bill, to be sure, is only a "first step;" but It Is to be remembered that first steps, as well a3 last steps, are necessary to the com pleted Journey. The main point now Is to get an experimental law on the stat ute books. Time and study and practi cal test Will provide the guides to its necessary modification. ' The waging, by its friends, of a war upon the Farr bill in the senate would at this time probably result In the tem porary defeat of the whole subject, which would be a general misfortune. The proper course for these Allegheny enthusiasts to pursue Is to let the bill become law, let the law receive a fair practical test, and then let it be nmend ed, If necessary, to cover demonstrated defects. That would be a sensible policy as well as a popular and a Just one. The complaint is again heard that rents in Scrantonareexorbltantly high; but If those who do the complainlr could trade places with those who -lo the tax-paying, we fancy their ardor would soon moderate. Are We Experiencing a New Instal. ment of La Grippe? The number of persons Just now suf fering from an ailment similar in its symptoms to the original disease known as la grippe Is sufficient to war rant the belir;f that we are In the midst of a mild infection, in some respects unlike any hitherto encountered. The disease manifests Its coming by means of a violent headache, followed by ris ing bodily temperature, a stlngng sen sation In the epidermis of the back and stomach, with that In turn followed by copious perspiration and severe chills. From that stage onward, the symp toms are that of a common cold, inten sified "by a tenacious fever fitful In Its habits; often by dizziness, and some times by slight and fleeting touches of mental "fllghtlness." Altogether, the disease la one of those most annoying kinds, which cause the patient to trem ble exasperatlngly on the balance be tween : positive ' illness and positive wellness. As to Its prevalence, there can be no question. 'Every third Scrantonlan has It. From almost every store or office some employes are missed, and the easy explanation is that they "have got the grip" meaning, of course, that the grip has them. But "the grip" this time ia a decidedly different grip from that fell Russian Intruder which ifirst devastated these United States six year ago this spring. Its progress is attended with comparatively , little fatality, such' deaths aB are hastened y It owing chief 1 to pneumoniae com- - . .1. plications. La grippe, in ts real si-lf, was a graveyard-filler. The disease now epidemic la not necessarily dan gerous. It Is merely exasperating, annoying, outh-provoklng. It catches on, like the bandit, at unexpected times and after holding him up for a day or two, lets him go, feeling angry, vexed and generally out of sorts. Next to sending at once for a physi cian, the best treatment for this an noying aliment is to wear warm wool en?, avoid draughts, keep the pores of the body free and open, andeling stead fastly to one's own comfortable fire side until the trouble is over. Quinine and foot-baths will be likely to do more good than harm; and even brandy can be recommended, for strictly medicinal purposes, to patientM vlio have no scruples against its use. The disease will soon yield to this course of treat ment, and leave one comparatively lit tle worse for the wear. lint if risks are run with draughts, sudden changes In temperature, Intemperate enting or venturesome exposure of the throat, the consequences are unite likely to be both serious and unpleasant. An opinion by some observant phy:;I clun as to the periodicity and probable duration of this epidemic would b- in teresting. John Russell Young makes a good point on Charles Emory Smith when he informs the. latter that It Is little short of nonsense to talk about silver beine; "dishonest" money, us If the American people would establish any currency which is not honest. If silver shall be restored to its proper rank tin a money metal, as we bellve It will be, and that soon, the restoration will be conducted upon batter than bandit principles; and there will be no repudiation of debts. 'Opening Headquarters." Word comes from Ilarrlsburg that the Junior Order of American Me chanics are about to open permanent legislative headquarters In. that city. Wo Interpret this to mean that this ex cellent order intends to establish an ambassador at the state capital, clothed with authority to threaten recalcitrant members of the legislature with the dis pleasure of the order's voters resident in his district. This may not be the avowed purpose iwA intention of the action; but it is the inevitable outcome of it. A permanent "representative" deriving his Inlluence not openly from the people, but secretly, from an oath protected society, .will need to lie a much better man than mo3t men are if he can refrain from cracking the whip which is In his hand over the heads of legislators who displease him. So far as we are familiar with the principles and purposes of the order in question, they are most excellent. We do not wish to criticize it on any ground other than the Impropriety of opening "headquarters" Kit a place where the people, by their ballots, have already opened headquarters. Many societies and corporations and associations long agf set the precedent of "opening" such "headquarters" apart from the official and representative headquarters ordained by the voters; hence the Jun ior Order of American Mechanics Is now merely following a bad example. And it is the badness of that example alone to which we wish to call atten tion, In the hope ithat It may some day cause the public to take measures for its correction. The right of petition; the right of In dividual protest, by voice or letter; and the right to send delegations before committees of the legislature in behalf of or in opposition to pendng measures are not to be light ly surrende-red. IJut It is a long Jump from the:;u constitutional and wholesome rights to the mainten ance at state capitals, by secret organi zations, of expert manipulators of legls latioii Invested with the formidable and seen t piWer of emphasizing their ad vice by the swaying of ninny vote. This latter custom, by whomsof ver ob served, Is not defensible. A law abnl Ishing It nhould be passed, and then rigidly enforced. Legislators should have no masters but the people, and no busnes save their own constituencies. - - -- - . The decision of the supreme court that the law under which trolley com panies ure organized In this state does not confer the right of eminent do main would be more pertinent In these parts If It Included a voiding of the lights of trolley companies to buy up councils, defy public opinion and seize the public streets without making visi ble returns. A Plaint from Old Luzerne. There Is perhaps morn truth thnn poetry In the assertion of the esteemed Wllkes-Iiarre Times that Luzerne county Republicans are themselves to blame for their lack of recognition at Harrlsburg. They have presented no claims for recognition, worthy of the name; and, as our contemporary Itself somewhat bitterly says, "the third county of this great commonwealth oc cupies," by Its own choice, "a position In the state government about on a par with such countle.s as Pike, Sullivan and Forest." "In remarkable and striking con trast," the Times continues, "stand the Republicans of Lackawanna county. They 'go for anything and everything In sight. Frequently they present two or more candidates for the same olilce, enter Into a vigorous fight, and In nearly every Instance they win." For Luzerne's apparent Ignoring "the ap pointing power Is not to blame; the state leaders of the Republican party are not at fault; the responsibility lies at the door of .the Republicans of Lu zerne county. The ttidth of the matter Is that the Luzern4 Republicans are sadly locking In ' ttat keen, shrewd party leadership thai makes itself suc cessfully ff-lt in national r.n.1 state politic." ' We da nut like to nay these things j on our own responsibility; but a plain ' word or two along this line, upnkpii by a Luzerne authority, may do good. The materia! exists in the mother county for a magnificent political or ganization amorf; the Republieann such an organization as could not only win homo battles but carry weight and prer.tlge Into state contests. Tlu devel opment of this possibility has n it, how ever, been seriously attempted. The reason why Is obvious. No one has ap peared with the necesnary qualifica tions. There have been kid-gloved leaderships and ward wire-puller leadership!!, ami neither has been unin terruptedly successful. What Is needed now Is, as our contemporary suggests, nil aggioislve leadership of brains. That want ought not to be long felt. Governor O'iVrrrll of Virginia, In complaining because a colored riemucr of the Massachusetts legislative com mittee, which recently visited Rich mond, culled on him along with the wnile members, displays the instinct of an idiot, combined Willi the til.scretion of a fool. A ueusible man, If offended at ho slight a thing, would have drawn on his philosophy and passed the occur rence over in silence. - - We trust It is true that Prescient Cleveland has decided to resist, Willi all the Influences ut his command, any at tempt on the part of (J real lirltaln to seize additional territory In the west ern hemisphere. Such a course In the only one consistent with clear-cut pn trlolism a:d common sense. Overanxlety has cost several prom inent men the presidential nomination. Is Governor William MoKinley suffer ing from overanxlety V It will do no harm to keep a weather eye upon the newly-launched presiden tial boom of Senator Cushman K. Davis of Minnesota. We ure not sure that public opinion would not sustain the Washington gov ernment in taking active steps to se cure the liberation of the Cuban people. UEI-OKE AND AFTER. From the New York Tribune. During the twenty-eight months since tho election In November, lS'.U, of a Demo cratic congress und president the receipts of the treasury have been, In round num bers, $7u.'p,0iK,0ih) und expenditures $s70.uw, OOO. leaving u deficiency of JllS.tKW.OOO. Dur ing the twenty-eight months prior to that election, with the .McKlnley law In foroo most of the time, the receipts were $Si, WKOuu and expenditures $M;,iK)il.0iH), leaving a surplus of SUMwo.uuu. This makes a sur plus of over fc.'.Ouo.Oeo a month beforo tho voters decided to plunge the country into the Democratic tariff experiment, and a deficiency of over $1,000,000 a month since that time. Hut in order to satisfy those who prefer to consider the period in which the Democ racy has actually been in power, It Is well enough to make another comparison or two. inning the first two years of President Cleveland's term the receipts of tho treasury were In round numbers $(130. OW.OW, and expenditures $7.i7.00O.0OO, mull ing a dii'.ek y or Slu7,';i),00U. it is quite fair to con;;re this with the two years of President Uurrlson'a term Just preced ing It, or even with the first two years of his term. That the reader may take his choice, they are both given. The two yeurs of President Harrison's term Just preeeillnplMevoland's inauguration showed receipts of $72i),oui,itM find expenditures of $707.iy"W,oiio; surplus, $I3,ikK),ihhi. The first two years of Harrison showed receipts of $SOI,0uw,om and expenditures of $l'j:i,uW,iio-); surplus, $!!el.0iJ0.OJO. There. Is u!so another interesting way of looking at It. During president Cleve land's two years he has made no additions to the sinking fund provided lor the ex tinguishment of the public debt, but on tho contrary he has lidded SbV.'.UOOVKKi to the public debt by his bond Issues. During President Hurrlson's term he borrowed nothing, but on tbe other hand reduced tbe puolic. debt In the comfortable sum of $L'3S,0U0,0li. Coming down to the actual operations of Democratic tariff laws, while there ure only six months In which to study and make comparisons, even those six months are Instructive. The Wilson law has been I In operation six mouths, und the receipt:! ! of the treasury In that tiinu have been llSI.Oiia.OoO, or un uverape of !JZ,000,uOO a month. During the forty-seven months In which the McKlnley law was In 0iera t.on the receipts were $l.;tnl,iKiu,0wO, or an ' average, of f.'J.Onn.KM a month. i For the convenience of any one who my ' want lo compare Democratic with ltepnb- j llean luws and Influences, the above state- I incuts are recapitulated, showing the eon- ' dltlons "before tuning and nfier tuklng: j Twenty-eight months since Dem- i o: ra tie suc e. defleieni y Sllj.t'OO.UOO Twenty-eight months before Democratic surer:)1! surplus.., 0J,(MO,iH)0 Twc.ily-four months since Cleve land's inauguration ill Ibveney 1'j7,uuo,ij ) Twenty-four months before Cleveland's Inauguration sur plus 13,000,00) j ( leviianil s addition to public debt iinnunl average (11,000, 000 Harrison's reduction pubi c debt annual average Cs.ou.i.iciJ Average monthly receipts under Wilson law IS.OOl.OJO Averuife monthly receipts under McKlnley law 2H,OiW,0J0 STATE COLLEGE'S CLAIMS. The menr.urn pending In the legislature to provide about fKiu five scholarships In iho Pennsylvania State college fur the j onuif men und young women of the common wraith has called attention to the relation of the college to tho utate, mid the assist ance already given to It. Kram 1S7 to 18 17, beforo It became a. state college, thu Ictis h'ture assisted the founders with appro priations aggregating $111,300. Tho number of students avernjed 1;!4 yearly. Durlna tho next twenty years, after the r.luto hail accepted Its qucta of land given by thu I'nlted States for estnbHslilr.g stale col leges nnd had pledged Itself to the I'nited States government to provide and niuln tulu buildings for tho school, It gave for this purpose $N3,(IGn, about U.UH) yearly. The average number of utu.lents each year was 111'. Hlnce HOT, when the college lie gan to develop and to establish Industrial education firmly, the state has given ISO, oon, a yearly uverago of JiiO.lKH), for build ings, repairs, equipment und insnrnnce. As a result, the college has live com modious uil ml nlt rat Ion buildings and la boratories, well equipped for tho Industrial and technical Instruction tt Is imparting to Its students. During the last period mentioned above, the attendance has aver aged 219 per yeur, the present number be ing 37", representing fifty counties of tho stale. Each state In tho Union has olio of these "land grant" rolliges, the best known being tho Cornell (New YorkJ and tho Musuebusetts Institute of Teuhnyogy In the east and tho Universities of Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin and California in the west. Their current expenses are paid Jointly by tho United Slates and the sev eral states. Pennsylvania' has given less to her stato college thnn hM Illinois.
