Concerning the two official bodies which expire in the municipal building today it can with entire justice be said that they have done more to bring the legislative branch of the government of this city Into contempt than any two councils in many years. This statement Is made advisedly, and in due recognition of the worth of several individual members, who, although up right and progressive and thoroughly representative, have nevertheless been unable to outvote the majority in either branch, when It ha3 seen fit to give away franchise after franchise and privilege after privilege to large cor porations, without deriving for the city one penny in return. In the new councils who will come !nto power today the percentage of reputable, law-abiding and honest members will be somewhat Increased. We trust that this Increase will be sufficient to put an end to the free dis pensation of Traction company and other benefits which has been in con tinuous progress in the legislative por tion of the municipal government dur ing the past two years. We propose to keep tab on the proceedings of these councils, and we hope to note a distinct Improvement in the accustomed coun cilmanic workmanship. If we do not, there will be some fun. Touching the city solicitorshlp, we trust that the good work done by Mr. Torrey during the past two years will be fittingly remembeYed and rewarded. He deserves an unanimous renomlna tlon. His work as city solicitor has not been partisan. It has been an honest and earnest transaction of official busi ness for the whole city, regardless of politics; and It clearly entitles him to the votes of Democrats as well as Re publicans. The sentiment of the people is overwhelmingly In his favor, not simply because he is a Republican, but because, as a public servant, he has put the affairs of his Important office, for the first time In Its history. In first class, business-like condition, and Is, therefore, needed to complete and per fect the desirable transformation. I President Norton, of the Atlantic Avenue Brooklyn Street Railway com pany, the corporation which lately re fused to pay living wages to its men, has been forced to resign. He made the mistake of overlooking the thing called public sentiment. Trolley managers Who do that will come to grief sooner or later. Democratic Manoeuverlng. The victory of the Harrity-Roblnson' fclement of the Lackawanna Democracy In Saturday's contest before the coun ty committee is a notification to the' public, or to such a fractlon'of It as T5-' tains any interest In Democratic man oeuverlng in this county, that the con id it Ions which have lately made the Democratic party hereabouts a by word end a Jest even among leading Democrats themselves are to be con tinued for at least another year. Those Democrats who do not like those condi tions; those Democrats who yet believe that hard party service extending over many spirited campaigns ought to be an abundant test of fitness for party honors, can flock by themselves. They ere clearly not wanted in' the Robin eon camp, which prefers the com-, panlonshlp of well-dressed political amateurs end youngsters, in politics for their health. It makes little difference that the president at Washington has given or ders that liarrlty must be unhorsed. The Robinsons have secured from the national administration all that they want, which is to say all that it had to klva out. The president,' therefore,' can , . ' . ; . ,- '.;'' .... .,' '. . ' ' ; ;. -: ' .'7Ni..-v - . J-.'- ;-' go heng. Democrats of the Harrlty stripe waste no time in pretending so rare a thing as gratitude for favors al ready received. They perceive cleirly enough that the present national ad ministration has reached the end of its rope: It can bestow no more ofllces, and reward no more henchmen. It Is dead, so far as nil that goes. What they are now concerned about Is the future and its opportunities." Let Kerr flirt If he choose with a president whose claws are clipped. They know a trick worth two of that. The supremacy of Hurrlty in Lacka wanna county is no doubt a fiiir reflex of the situation throughout Pentnyl vanln. Mr. Kerr, will unquestionably make a stiff light. Had he won presi dential recognition a year or two earlier, he might have been easily vic torious. Hut now, the support of Cleve land comes to him and to his following as a hollow and mocking honor. Tin opposition has its pockets stuffed out with plunder, its hand Is on the party machinery's throttle valve and at the front Is William Harrlty, who knows his business from A to '.. Those Dem ocrats who district Harrlty or openly despise him must yield to his uplifted club or get out (jf the party, body and biLgfrage. The fight means that, precisely. V.y what rljjiit do-s the Scran ton Traction company run its ears down Adams avenue at a speed exceeding twelve nnd sometimes fifteen miles an hour? Who assumes the rlks and re sponsibilities of accident arising from that excessive speed in a much-traveled public thoroughfare? Jf there is an or dinance limiting the rate at which public conveyances shall move, inside the city limits, why In it not enforce 1? If there is no such ordinance, why Is not one passed ? The Income Tax. A decision by the Supreme Court as to the constitutionality of the Income tax may be made today. Rut It may not be made until a Week from today. Rumor has' It that five of the eight Justices believe the tax unconstitu tional; but this report is purely con jectural. Should It prove true, an extra session of congress would need to be called at once, to take steps to provide sufficient revenue to meot the govern ment's running expenses, which are not covered by the Income derived from the operation of the Wilson tariff. It was estimated by the treasury au thorities that the Income tax would yield about $.'10,000,000 annually, of which, It may be said in passing, the prosireroua North would contribute three-fourths. Secretary Carlisle has figured that if the income tax nets $:i0.008,UOO a year and the. Wilson tariff plus the postal revenue nets $440,907,407, the government, by being very economi cal, can squeeze through so as to make both ends meet.. This estimate was based upon the secretary's belief that the government's expenses this year would be only $358,047,32'). It Is now clear, however, and from Democratic figures, that the government's expenses this year will be, not $358,047,520, but more than $49S, 000,000. Hence, even with the Income tax, there will be a deficiency of $21,000,000; while i that tax be declared unconstitutional and Inop erative, this deficiency will Increase at one jump to $51,000,000. Having twice sold bonds to meet cur rent Indebtedness, the president might take that pitcher a third time to the well, should the Supreme Court invali date the income tax. Rut there would, under such conditions, be such an out cry from the people that It is more plausible to believe he would summon congress to an extraordinary pitting, and thus permit the Republican major ity to share his anxiety. A Philadelphia grand Jury recom mends "that the legislature pass a law making It an offense to remain in or drink liquor in a place where liquor Is sold' without a license; that till places where liquor Is sold without a license should be considered disorderly houses; that all persons frequenting or found in such disorderly houses sh'uuld be con sidered disorderly characters, and should be punished by 'the magistrates by imprisonment In the county prison or housa of correction." The enforce ment of such a law in Lackawanna cuunty would necessitate the building of several commodious new Jails. Seed Grain for Nebraskans. A number of I'hlladelphians, under the lead of the PreBS, have instituted a movement to send twenty-five car loads of seed grain as Pennsylvania's offering to the famine-stricken farmers of Nebraska, to whom seed time has come and found them destitute of the means of fresh planting. The I'enqsyl vanla Railroad company, through First .Vice-President Frank Thompson, has volunteered to transport this grain free of cost from point In Pennsylvania to Chicago, and no doubt some western road will push that good work through to Its Nebrasltan destination. This action has been decided upon after consultation with Senator Will lam V. Allen, of Nebraska, who assures the people of this state that thousands of his constituents, scattered over a large area, find the spring coming upon them with not a peck of seed to start a crop for the coming year. They have had to kill their stock to a large ex tent,. Jiaving no food for it, and that which has survived, is thin and weak. What la' worse, they have had to use their seed grain to sustain life during the winter, and now, when the season of grain sowing and corn planting "Is nigh, they have no seed. Unless this deficit is promptly supplied, they will get no benefit from this year's crops, and their condition next autumn will be one of absolute starvation. There has hitherto been some uncer tainty in the minds "of eastern people a3 to the precise amount of confidence to be placed in lately current reports touching destitution In Nebraska. The authority of Senator Allen ought to be sufficient to now set the matter In its proper light. Every city in Pennsyl vania ought to take pleasure in con tributing food and grain to the pro posed Nebraska relief train. The op portunity Is open to Scranton to take a foremost part In this charitable en deavor. Who will give a quantity of need grain for the Nebraska sufferers? The proposition, elsewhere outlined, that the present embargo in this stnte on the sale of oleomargarine shall be lifted, noun condition that oleo will bo sold for what It in, and distinctly lab:.!rd, in a fair one, to which no rational citizen can offer serious objec tion. Tho fight axaluxt 'no present pro hibitory law is not one of hostility to the dairy interests; but simply one of common fairness. If people wish to buy cdeo, deliberately and in their right minds, they should have that privilege. We believe that oleo, as a food, is better than much of the high-priced rtufT that masquerade): us dairy button Give oleo it ohfliee. With the next pptak'-r of the Hng lli li house of commons descended from a prize-fight??!-, who shall say that Eng land is not becoming Americanized? Speaking of jingoes, Lord Rosebery evidently knows something along that line, too. OLEO 1'KODLEM SOLVED. Outlines or a ISill Which Will Permit the Sulo of Itiittcrino as Such unJ Vet liuurd Aftulnst Misrepresentation. Special to tho Seranton Tribune. HaiTlHbiii'K, March 31. The oleo people anil the grangers are likely to get th;lr differences lixed up and agree upon a hill to be passed at this session, it is the Snlvely measure dressed In new clothes. The bill provldeH that any article resem bling butler in appearance and not made wholly, salt und coloring excepted, from the milk of cows, Hhall be Imitation but ter. The words "butter," "dairy" or "creamery" shall form neither the whole nor a part of tho name of any Imitation hatter or appcur upon any urtlele or upon any box, tub or package, containing Imita tion butter. No person by himself or his agents shall manufacture or sell any article or com pound made wholly or partly out of any fat, oil or oleagenous substance or com pound thereof, not-produced from unadul terated milk or cream, which shall be In Imitation of yellow butter produced from pure milk or cream. Provided that noth ing In this aet shall be construed to pro hlhlt the manufacture or sale of oleo In sin'h distinct form and manner as will ad vise the consumer of its real character. Dealers who sell Imitation butter are re quired to maintain In plain sight, where the selling Is done, a slwn bearing In plain black Roman hitters, not less than two Inches wide and four Inches long on a white ground, tho words, "sold here," pre ceded by the name of the Imitation article, if the selling Is done from a wagon er other vehicle such a. sign must be con spicuously displayed upon Its outside. If the delivering Is done from the wagon or other vehicle a similar sign must be con spicuously displayed with the words, "de livered here." preceded by the namo of Imitation article. To Prevent .Misrepresentation. Tho bill requires all Imitation butter to be kept In an enclosing package which shall bear on the outside of Its body and also of its cover In black Roman letters not less than one Inch wide and two lnuhe3 long on a white or light colored ground the name of the Imitation article. The seller Is reuulred to inform each buyer at each sale that the article ho buys is not butter and to give the buyer the name of tho imitation article. I'ersons or corporations selling or of fering for sale any Imitation butter, and keepers of hotels, boarding houses or res taurants, who furnish guests with imita tion butter or food containing it, must within fifteen days after tho passage of this act or within fifteen days after com mencing business and annually thereafter make application to the courts for a li cense to sell and handle tho same, for which right ho will pay 25. The license so obtained must be regis tered by the food anil dairy commissioner, who shall supply the applicant with the signs before mentioned, which must be placed in position under his direction. The food and dairy commissioner is required to make an annual report to the governor, which must be submitted to the general assembly at its regular session. linkers or verniers of food who sell or expose for sale any article of food con taining any imitation of butter must ex pose the same kind of a sign, except tho word "used" shall bo substituted for the word "sold." Tho penalty for violation of the act is fixed at a fine of not more than $100 or Imprisonment of not more than sixty days, or both, for the first offense. Kor any subsequent offense the fine anil imprisonment shall lie double. The fines collected ro required to be paid Into tho atato treasury for tho benefit of the food and dairy commissioner and are subject to his orders. Sound Finance Is Possible I'ndcr Popular Government. John II. JIcMaster, In April Forum. Under tho baleful Inlluinccs of such pe riods of distress as thnt through which we nro now passing, men of sense nnd Judgment loso faith In the success of dem ocratic Institutions and tho wisdom of ma jority rule. It Is easy enough, they say, for the great mass of our fellow citizens to form a fairly correct Judgment on a ques tion of pure politics. Rut when the ques tion to be (italt with is so Intricate and complex as to bo beyond tho comprehen sion of the great muss of men, Is It safe to leave it to ho decided by majority rule? In tho light of our past history the an swer Is, yes. Of all ti.o people of the earth we are tho most practical and the least thoorotlcal. Kxperience, not theory, has ever been our guide. The very constitution under which we llvo Is a signal illustration of this. Jt was quite as much a business as a political necessity, and bears all over It the marks of a bitter experience. The dreadful state of trade, forelstn and Interstate, the disor ders of the currency, the lack of a uniform circulating medium, the hopelessness of trying to support a government which could not tax, these were the considera tions which outweighed all others and moved our ancestors to frumo and adopt the constitution. Any student of polities could have told them, and many did, that It was Idle to expect that thirteen petty republics could regulate a common for eign trade as successfully as one central government. But not till the experiment had been made and failed were the people ready to bestow on congress sole power to regulate trade with foreign countries, be tween tho states, and with the Indians. Any student of llnanco could have told them that thirteen kinds of paper money Issued on no security end maintained by lender laws and forco acts could never be come the circulating medium of a great people. Rut not until they had tried it, not until they had brought themselves to the brink of industrial ruin by the experi ment, were our ancestors willing to de clare that no state nh-n.ll coin money, emit bills of credit, or make anything but gold and silver coin a tender In payment of debts. Roth cases were extreme; yet they are striking Illustrations of the fact that In this country all question of great Im portance are finally settled not by presi dents, nor by congresses, nor by the leg islatures of the states,, but by, the hard common sense of the people who In their own good time and way have heretofore settled all questions wisely.
