Average amount of bank deposits, $10,' 800.000. It's the metropolis of northeastern Penn sylvania. Can produce electrlo power cheaper than St lobars. No better point In the United States at svhlch to establish new Industries. Bee how we it row: 1'opulatlon In I860 9,223 Population In 1870 35,000 Population In 1880 45.8V) Population In 1890 75,213 Population In 1894 (estimated) 103,W9 And the end Is not yet. The present advanca of two cents per pound In the price of meats, while lorced upon local dealers by speculative Wholesalers, Is nothing less than a hold-up of the masses In order that a few manipulators of the market may be rapidly enriched. It is a kind of thievery that ought to be severely pun ishable by law. The Mayor's Hessage. Mayor Connell'a annual message, elsewhere reprinted In full, la a conser vative document which should receive attentive perusal. In addition to Its well-digested review of the year's work In the various departments, it presents for councils' consideration several val uable and timely suggestions. Perhaps the chief of these is the Strong recommendation made in. behalf of legislation to compel the Scranton Traction company to fulfill its promlae Jn the matter of safety fenders. This, With the other two suggestions govern ing the speed of trolley cars in the crowded streets and regulating the manner of the cleaning of the car tracks In winter, forms most whole some counsel, looking to the Interests of the lately little-considered people. The Traction company has received hun dreds of thousands of dollars' worth of public franchise absolutely free of cost, In return for an Indifferent service! Jsow let councils take some few steps In behalf of the public. Another valuable suggestion Is that favoring a revision of the city's anti quated fire limits and a putting of the fire protective service of the city upon a par with the paid services in corre sponding cities. The mayor's complaint at the unsatisfactory results which arise under the present system of Street supervision re-echoes that of all Impartial observers; and his recom mendations on that head are practical and pertinent. ' In fact, every paragraph In the mes age contains something which the new Councils can study with profit. iPrlnce Bismarck, old. Infirm, Vlive'sted of official powers and the object at once of socialistic hatred and imperial jeal ousy, nevertheless towers head and Shoulders above the excitable young blusterer who Is his nominal sovereign; above the pigmies who are trying to fill bis place in the German empire and above all-hts European contemporaries, tf for nothing else than for his massive and majestio personality, which Is In many respects the most masterful of Its lime. Prince Bismarck would, In this anniversary period, deserve the honest congratulations of civilized mankind. - The Bible In the Public Schools.. . i It Is Indeed, as Judge Ounster says in lils ruling upon the "Waverly school Case, "too plain for argument that .de-. Bomlnational religious exercises and In struction In sectarian doctrine have.no place In our system of common. school education. They are not only .not. au-r thorized by any law, common or. statu tory, but are expressly prohibited and forbidden by our Constitution, the fun damental law of the commonwealth," Any effort to Introduce sectarian teach: Ings In the public schools needs to.be resolutely opposed, no matter what the sect or where the school. Absolute Ulvorce between' the publlo school and the denominational church Is a funda mental principle of American liberty. At the same time, we cbncur In the lenor of Dr. Lyman Abbott's argument, In the April '"Century," in his article '(which all should read) on "Religious Teaching In the Public Schools," that moral training is essential to the cor porate functions of citizenship In a - democratio state; that "men who are to determine what are the rights and duties of the state In dealing with other tates, what, are the rights and duties of the Individual citizens in dealing With one another what is the nature, 2 penalty and cure of crime and what is the moral quality of the corporate and co-operative acts of the community, are to determine moral questions and must be educated," not simply in the churches or in the homes, but in the free publlo schools "to perceive moral dis tinctions and to see that moral consid erations always outweigh considera tions of mere expediency or apparent self-interest. Otherwise, the state will be an immoral state, and the represen tatives of the state, whether on the bench. In the executive chair, or in the legislative chambers, will be Immoral men. If it Is the primary right and duty of the state to give whatever edu cation Is necessary for good citizenship, it is self-evident that it is its primary right and duty to give education in moral principles, and training to the moral Impulses and the will." Other wise, we should have what many per sons, indeed, fancy they perceive today, a pert cltizenHhlp proficient In Intellect and devoid of conscience. How Is this moral Instruction to be Imparted? No doubt this question will never be answered to the complete sat isfaction of everybody. We frankly admit, for our part, that the nearest visible approximation to an acceptable solution of it appears to bo, In the daily teaching, in the public schools, of the ethics und morals f the Christian ltlbk'. lly common consent tliut bonk to the most of men and women Di vinely Inspired 1h, wholly apart from its religious teachings, the most won derful single repository of moral in struction known to any language or literature. If offers such a basis of moral teaching free from sectarianism, free from denomlnatlonallsm, free even from the disputes between contending creeds as Is not to be found anywhere else, to our knowledge, In the English language. Can this ethical Instruction be kept free from sectarianism? The answer to that will depend upon the teachers employed In the various schools and upon the kind of school boards which employ them. Thanks to the penurlousness, care lessness or simple Inefficiency of the councils which expired yesterday, no appropriation was made for a fireman's salary at the Municipal building during the month of April, and there will con sequently be no one, from today on ward, to tend the fires necessary to heat that building. The police court will be cold, prisoners at the station house will have to Bleep on cold stone floors and the city officers will probably be frigid for a month to come, all of which may mean pneumonia, rheumatism or la grippe; but inasmuch as the city will save $30 or $10, we suppose nobody will feel at liberty to complain. The American Policy. Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, In a current Interview, states the South American, diplomatic situation so clearly, succinctly and patriotically that we give his entire language, con fident that we could add nothing to Its force and certain that we could not subtract from It. "The Monroe doc trine," he Bavs, "committed the United States to the principle that no new government should be established and no new territory taken possession of on the American continent by any European power. It also declared that the United States could not permit any Independent American government to be oppressed or Interfered with by any power in Europe. This has been a cardinal policy of the United States ever since it was announced, and none is of more Importance to us. We rigidly hold aloof from European affairs and In return we Insist that Europe shall not meddle In this hemisphere. The slight est abandonment of the Monroe doc trine would be not only yielding a well settled principle, but would be fraught with the greatest danger to the honor, prosperity, commercial greatness and political power of the United States. "The Monroe doctrine, which is so vitally Important to us, Is either di rectly involved or else apparently threatened in the difficulties now exist ing In three Central and South Ameri can Btates. Guatemala has stopped payment on her bonds, which are largely held In England, and there are Indications that England Is contem plating taking vigorous steps to enforce the payment of Interest to her bond holders. Sir Edward Grey, In the house of commons, has intimated that Eng land proposes to look afbsr the right of her bondholders In Guatemala. There seems no method by which this can be done except by seizure of terri tory or by taking possession of Guate malan revenue. Either of these courses of action would be a violation of the Monroe doctrine and could not possibly be permitted by( the United States. We cannot allow the. establishment of any British protectorate In Central America or th repetition there of England's ac tion In Egypt, If England Is permitted to use forco In protecting her bond holders. In a very short time Bho might get control of a number of South Amer ican states,- the debts of which are chiefly held in London. "The Guatemalan affair, however, has not yet reached an aoute stage, as has happened in Nicaragua. In the case of Nicaragua Great Britain de mands an Indemnity for Injuries to her consular representative and to British citizens and property. No one, of course, denies the right of England or any .other ,counryt to exact an In demnity from a foreign nation for in juries inflicted upon her citizens, but the method of obtaining that Indemnity Is all lmporant. If It Is to be secured by treaty, we, of course, have nothing to say; but If, on the other hand, In order to get an Indemnity from Nicara gua England proceeds either .to seize territory or to take In any way partial or complete control of the Nlcaraguan government, an Infraction of the Mon roe doctrine at once occurs, to which the United States cannot possibly sub mit. "In Venezuela the case is far more serious than anywhere else. There the' Monroe doctrine has been actually vio lated, and it is owing to our neglect that the situation has arisen. For a long period England has been pushing for ward, under one pretext or another, the boundary of Guiana and absorbing Venezuelan territory, which the Vene zuelan government was too weak to prevent. This seizure of territory has been more aggressive on the part of Great Britain, with the well-defined purpose of getting control of the mouths of the Orinoco, a matter of grave Importance, like all other great waterways, to the extension of British commerce, of which England never loses sight. This continuous and in creasing seizure of territory Is an In fringement of the Monroe doctrine of the worst kind, for it is establishing European authority over American ter ritory not lawfully In the possession of England at the time of the declaration by Mr. Adams of the Monroe doctrine. Vigorous steps should be taken to stop this seizure of territory at once. "The right and proper policy of the administration In regard to all theBe matters la perfectly simple. Our am bassador to England ' should be In structed to say to the British govern ment In the plainest and firmest manner that the United States regards any In fraction of the Monroe doctrine as an act of hostility, and will resist any such Infraction to the utmost. If the admin istration should take this ground, which Is clearly right and In accord ance with every tradition of American policy, these questions would soon be settled. There Is no danger In the sit uation at all, except from weakness or hesitation on the part of our gov ernment. If we aro perfectly firm, the whole matter will be settled rightly and peaceably; but any paltering with the American policy and the Monroe doctrine may not only involve us In the most serious danger, but may cause losses t,o our commercial prosperity and injuries to our rights and our honor und power as a nation which can never be repaired." Heport has it that ex-Senator Warner Miller is greatly overjoyed at the dip lomatic tangle in Nicaragua, because he fancies It will force congress to en dorse the worthless securities of his practically bankrupt canal company, and thus make his fortune.' We have a much better opinion of the Fifty fourth congress than that. LEGISLATIVE TOPICS. Harrisburir. Anrll 1 ,..,.,. i n.,. laws are on the calendar here. Of these mum; nave already been noted. One that has not Is that introduced by Sena tor Stiles, which in now nn thin.i o,i Ing In the senate.

An Important amend ment wnicn was ncicied on Becond rend ing makes it lawful for brewers to sell the Honors of their own ingnnhnl,,.. to licensed dealers only without procur ing a license from the court of quarter sessions, but upon the payment of $1,600 annually Into the county treasury. Where more than one brewery is lo cated In the same county, an additional sum of $1,000 shall be paid for each additional brewery. The passage of this act would remove brewers from the jurisdiction of the license court, unless they also took out a wholesale license.

In the house the only Hauor hill which has reached the third reading calendar is me urigsoy mil no prevent adultera tion of liquors. It provies that who ever adulterates for the purpose of sale, any spirituous, alcoholic or malt liquor used or intended for drink or medical or mechanical purposes with coculus lndicus, vitriol, grains of Dnxiidlsp. opium, alum, capsicum, copperas, laurel water, logwood, tirazll wood, cochineal, sugar of lead, aloes, glucose, tannic acid, or any other substance which is poisonous or Injurious to health, or with any substance not a necessary Ingred ient In the manufacture thereof, and whoever sells or offers or keeps for sale any such liquors so adulterated, shall be fined In any sum not more than $100 or Imprisoned not more than 60 days, or both, at the discretion of the court. It Is made the duty of state dairy and food commissioners to enforce provi sions of this law. a 'mil Relating to Minors. A bill which Is being vigorously on- posed by the retail liquor dealers is that Introduced by Representative Gould, of Erie, to prevent minors from obtaining Intoxicating liquor, making It a misde meanor to procure the same by falsely representing the age of any minor or to knowingly or negligently furnish Intox icating liquors to minors. Minors mis representing their ages In order to pro cure liquors are made punishable by a fine not exceeding $1.00 or an Imprison ment not exceeding ninety days, either or both, at the discretion of the court. Where the shoe pinches, however, is in the second section, which provides that any person who shall -wilfully, know ingly or negligently in any manner furnish Intoxicating liquors to any minor, or to another person to be dellvered to any minor, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall be sentenced to pay a fine of not less than $50 nor more than $500, and undergo an imprisonment for not less twenty days nor more than ninety days. Ldquor men say that under the pro visions of this act there is no protection for them against being Imposed upon by designing people, and that they have no means of knowing whether liquor purchased of them shall be furnished to minors or not. One mil That Liquor Men Favor. The retail liquor dealers, on the other hand, are vigorously urging the passage of the Mackrell bill, which is to wipe oui me irapiuiy growing competition of the fancy grocery stores and certain wholesale dealers who make a special ty of supplying families with liquors in quart bottles. The proposed act, which Is being supported by the recently or ganized state league of Retail Liquor Dealers, provides that no grocer or wholesale dealer shall sell less than one gallon of spirituous or vinous liquor. Everybody desiring a bottle of llouor for household uses would under this act be compelled to go to a retail llouor saloon for It and the grocers would practically be forced out of itha busi ness, as most of their sales are in quart' bottles for family use. The bill would also seriously cripple the growing trade in American wines, which Is being largely conducted through the grocery store'). TOLD BY THE STARS.
