In consequence, of the addition of a
."Wllkes-IUirre department, a slight
ehantjro is necessary In The Tribune's
raako-up. Tho best page of sporting
news tn Northeastern Pennsylvania,
trill hereafter be found on the seventh
Instead of tho second page; the rrmr
ket reports, industrial news and sub
urban correspondence, on the elEhth
pace; and the news of Luzerne county
and contiguous territory on page sec
ond The Theft of Corlnto.
If England's olalm against Nicaragua
had been approred by a commission of
j-kKraUon, and If it had then been
resisted by Nicaragua until further
patience had become unreasonable,
tho landing of English troops at
Corlnto and the seizure by thoso troops
of the "principal Nicaraguan custom
house for the purpose of forcing1 a col
lection of the sum at Issue, while an
unusual course of procedure, could have
excited little opposition in this country.
Mast persons would have dismissed the
subject from mind with the casual re
flection that Great Britain must be ex
ceedingly hard up, to go to eo much
trouble merely to collect an item of
some $75,000 or $80,000.
But what are the facts? In one of tha
periodical Central American revolu
tions, one Hatch, the British consul
was expelled and two or three other
Englishmen subjected to annoyance.
For this offence, the Nicaraguan gov
ernment la told by England that It must
immediately pay over the sum which
England demands, or elsethat sum will
be collected by force. The plaintiff In
this action is also, at once, the Judge,
the Jury and the lord high executioner.
Overtures by Nioaratrua looking to In
ternational arbitration are indignantly
rejected by England; and the little
Nlcaraffuan government, with hardly a
penny to its credit, i3 Informed that
unless within three days it shall do
liver the money on board the chief
Brttlshrwaxship lying off Corlnto, troops
will be landed and Nicaraguan property
forcibly levied upon until the debt is
satisfied. This Is the act of the strong
est power In the world, with possibly
one exception, a power which assumes
to lead the nations in civilization and
Christianity, against el country only
about thrice as big as and not more
populous than Luzerne county a coun
try wIiom educated, white population
to not that of Carbondale.
The tactics pursued by England
throughout the whole episode have been
such; as to caafl discredit upon the
theory thaf England's main purpose
was to collect a paltry bill of damages,
amounting to less than the prince of
WaJea cigar bill for a decade. Equally
untenable is the supposition that the
purpose of Great Britain was to set an
example of Its power and promptitude.
Both- these characteristics are known
of all men. There exists only one ex
planation of this outrageous action
which supplies an adequate motive, and
that Is the theory that England wants
to obtain permanent possession of
Ntoaraguan territory, from which posi
tion of strategic advantage she can
effectually block any future effort of
the United States to obtain control of
A translsthmlan ocean I o waterway near
the route of the unfinished NJcaraguan
canal. To accomplish this purpose
England will not scruple to violate ver
bal pledges mado at London to pur Min
ister Bayard, any more than she has
scrupled to act the international high
wayman, the freebooter and the thug.
Meanwhile, what of Secretary dresth
am and the Monroe doctrine? Ap
parently both are in a trance.
If Scranton's spring trade has been To
any degree unsatisfactory, it may read
ily be explained by noting the paucity
of the live spring advertising.
An Enemy of American Industries.
"There is," says the Chicago Times
Herald, "one method, and one only, by
which silver can be made to play a
(beneficial part in tha pecuniary organi
zation of trade. That one method lies
in an international governmental
agreement to be maintained with tho
fidelity which Is demanded in the ob
servance of all other treaties between
governments. The president aad the
most Intellectual of the Democra-tlo
leaders in the next congress will un
doubtedly work with the Republicans
of the same conviction for the further
ing of en effectual international agree
ment, . tha prospects of which have
olearly, improved In Western Europe
and the British Islands during the past
six months."
The president will undoubtedly do
nothing of the kind. He Is prejudiced
against silver. Ha believes In his
heart that this country ought to go to
a contracted gold basis, with silver
used only in subsldlnry coinage. And
he takes ponderous dullght ,in further
ing the purposes of his "gold bug" ad
visors by masulng Ihn enormous Inllu
dices of his official position so as to
yet further depreciate the value of the
American silver Industry, Just ns ho
somrht. a few months nco, to strike
down tho American Iron nnd conl and
wool growing lnduntiy. As betwc
r.n American Industry nnd a foreign
i lulu sit i-y-and gold production is os
seiitlally a foreign Industry It seems
to bo tho president's uniform habit to
prefer Uio latter and assault this for
mer.

The railroad committee of tho Cloth-
am board of uhlernien last Friday In
fender now on trial on
General Manager lleetein's old system
the Atlantic avenue line, in Brooklyn
The New Yolk Herald of Saturday
says:
The fender cont'liils of a eradle carried In
front of the car on the pilot wheels, rjver-
Imr tho entire track. It Is In action a sol t.
yielding buffer, which dues not bruis.
when It striken. At no time Is Its rubbe
buffer more thun two Inches ubovo tho
track, and neither a child nor an lulnlt een
pass beneath It or come In contact with
ear or wheols. The. victim when struck
falls on a yielding frame to poised that a
child's weight bears it down, without in
jinv, at tho moment of tho fall. Whei
th, person eiiuyht is removed, the ctadle
automatically returns to Its normal posi
tion. Wliilo the ear to which It is at
taehtvl wnu rounding a curve near Fulton
Kerry yesterday, a man who was trying
to look at the mechanism from tho Inner
curve of the track was struck by the bur
fer, t'ppLHl off his feet, and, before ho
could utter an exclamation, found himself
ovadk'd by tho fender. Ills tall hat even
w:ts not Injured.
Mr. Bet-tern ought to find little diffi
culty in communicating with the pres
ent manager of this Brooklyn line as to
the cost nnd merits of this type of
fender. Or, he might write to the man
ngers of the various trolley lines In
Pittsburg who have also equipped their
cars with equally satisfactory fenders,
as is well explained tn yesterday's Sun
day News, which says:
They are simple In construction, easily
adjusted und whtle tho writer was In that
city last week one of them was the means
of prevantlng the body of a man from be
ing crushed Into a shapeless mass. The
person referred to tripped In front of a
-ar. was caught up by the fender, re
mained In it until the car was stopped and
then was lifted to his feet unharmed. If
ho had fallen In a similar manner before
one of our trolley cars he would have suf
fered a horrible death. These contriv
ances are simple- and Inexpensive. They
consist of three stout pieces of Iron form
ing the three sides of a square which de
pend from tho front of tho car almost to
the tra-'k. Inside theso supports Is a net
work of light strap Iron which yields to
pfessuro so that when Anything or any
person strikes tho fender Instead of be-
in? shoved aside and tltus mangled he la
held as In a basket by the elastic yield
ing of the iron strips. These fenders aro
adjustable. It Is truo that the trolley cars
of I'ittsburg are very much longer and
larger in every way than those In our city,
but similar contrivances could be made
to fit these cars and thereby save many
lives.
There Is very little doubt among un
prejudiced students of the fender prob
lem that fenders which fend are now to
be had upon easy terms. If Scrantonlans
shall bring sufficient pressure to bear
upon councils to Induce them to pas9
the pending Seamans ordinance, there
need be no fear that the Scranton Trac
tion company will fail to find suitable
fenders for their cars.
Whatever opinion the majority of re
fieotlve Americans may entertain with
reference to the financial problem, they
are evidently pretty thoroughly agreed
that it will take a Republican adminis
tration to solve it.
Need of American Independence,
One point made by Mr. Chittenden In
Saturday's Tribune deserves to be
prominently considered. Under no cur
rency system could this nation expect
to be healthily prosperous while the bal
ance of trade Is heavily against It. So
long as more gold flows out of the coun
try than comes Into tho country; so
long as the country's expenses are
larger than Its Income, there will be un
rest and trouble. So long as it Is the
fashion to borrow money from foreign
lenders; so long as the government sells
Its bonds to London capitalists Instead
of to the American middle classes,
there will be panics and distress at fro
quent Intervals, though we had an
abundnnt currency of diamonds. Tho
reasons for this are obvious. One is the
necessity of sending gold out of the
country In payment of dividends nnd In
terest charges. If this money were paid
to home creditors, It would remain In
home circulation. Sent abroad, It rep
resents Jimt so much wasted energy,
which will have to be atoned for by re
doubled exertion.
Tho second reason Is that when our
creditors are foreigners, unfamiliar
with our customs and characteristics,
they are unduly susceptible to fright;
and thus exerclno an unhealthy Influ
ence upon affairs which they do not
comprehend, A creditor Is to some ex
tent a tyrant. Ha holds the whip hand,
If he bo Ignorant of his debtor's merits,
and prone to suspect his honesty with
out cause, is it not clear that that
dabtor is likely to have an unenviable
time? The European creditor, as a rulo,
knows very little about the American
debtor. What he does know Is general
ly Inaccurate. To be at tho mercy of
such A creditor la a lot -which Ameri
cans ought to shun, even though to
avoid it should require the payment of
a higher rate of Interest to an Ameri
can lender.
Lastly, while we borrow abroad we
court foreign manipulation of the
money market so as to enhance tho
value of tho forelgnor's dividends and
Increase tho burden of the American's
debt. The gold nionometalllst may
scout the notion that gold can bo
"cornered" by the banking Interests of
London and Berlin; but the avers
American knows to Ills sorrow that
this statement is literally true. Uld not
Mr. Cleveland recently give hlin an ob
Ject lesson, when he sold to the London
and Berlin syndicate for 101V4 bonds for
which Americans willingly offered 120?
Tho aim of American statesmanship
should be to promote American, not
English or Gorman, prosperity. Can
this be done by eeonomlj legislation
ylilch plays directly Into the pockets
of our foreign competitors?
Whenever the Interstate Telephone
company can produce a certlllcuto of
gi inilnenei's, Its 'application for a five
public' franchise should be considered
but not before.

Tin: m:xt ;ki:.t issuk.
From the Washington Htar.
There Is a mowing belief among many
of the political gossips at the national cup.
Hal Hint tho next few months will Una tho
I'.i.puhllean party aligned lor bimetallism
and Hie liemociaKo organisation divided
Into distinct and avowed gold and silver
monoini-tallistie factions. This belief, It is
explained. Is l.n;'ed upon some lucent
cvotits and upon a review of pest ocelli'
fences. The people w ho eiitel tain this
opinion ray that nothing further tn needed
to dciiionslriite that tho lieniocrats will
divide upon gold and silver nionometal
Usui than the president's recent declara
tion of t!u co.-niug llsht lying between
sound monev and silver monometallism,
and the stitisequoiit announcement of
some of the party leaders In favor of gold
nioiiot'ietalllHin. This, In connection with
the efforts now under way In several
states east of tho Mississippi to get freo
silver conventions, Is proof positive, they
say, of the givut chasm that is yawning
lu the Democratic party.
It is claimed that the Republicans pro
pose to avoid precipitating any such se
vere Issuk in their own party, and are
going to begin early to talte tho firm
ground that bimetallism Is a possibility
and not a. hopeless case, us represented by
Democrats. Recent utterances of prom
Incut Republican:?, Senator Allison and ex-
President Harrison In particular, aro
pointed as straws indicating tho trend of
opinion in tho Republican party. In this
connection references aro being made to
the developiunets beforo the International
monetary conference, and the statements
of the prominent financiers of tho world
lit the gathering are being recalled and
Invested with peculiar Interest nt this
timo. One statement which was mado at
thnt conference la distinctly remembcrod
by many politicians, who have seen what
they claim Is a fulllllment of a phophecy
made. M. de Rothschild, one of the dele
gates of Great Britain, nnd recognised as
representing tho sentiment of that gov
ernment at the conference, made this
statement: "If this conference were to
break up without arriving at any definite
result there would be a depreciation In the
value of that commodity (silver) which It
would be frightful to contemplate, and out
of which a monetary panic would ensue,
the fur-spreading effects of which It would
be Impossible to foretell." That phophecy
was made In November, 1S92. The confer
ence did adjourn without arriving at any
lefinlte result, and tho following summer
saw the commencement of that great
financial and Industrial depression which
everyone recalls.
It Is claimed that the last two years
have demonstrated an Increase In the bi
metallic sentiment of Kngland that Is,
among tho Industrial classes as In this
country, bordering In a degree upon tho
extent of the spread of bimetallism among
the people of tho United States. The point
Is mnde, however, that tho mass of the
people, the element that It Is claimed will
eventually determine tho fiscal policy of
tho nation, are showing a decided lean
ing toward bimetallism and clamoring for
a trial of It anyhow, and that If an Inter
national conference can bo held within tho
next year or two the opposition put forth-
by the British delegates at the last meet
ing will have at least been modified to
such nn extent ns not to present nn In
superable bnr to nn ngrecment. This Is
said to be the belief of a great many Re
publicans In this country, who are at least
willing to wait a year or two longer, If
necessary. In order to give It a trial,
rather than to rush cither to the extromo
of gold monometallism, which they de
clare to bo un-American, or to silver
monometallism. At nil events, they say It
Is too enrly to give up absolutely, and to
say that It must bo "gold monometallism
or nothing," or to take ground that bimet
allism Is a chimera and unlimited national
free roinngn tho only alternative of gold
monometallism. It Is nrgucd that tho pur
suance of tho line of action thus Indicated
will draw Into Republican ranks the con
servative people of all classes, Democrats
Included, who would regard this position
ns the safest and as most likely to con
tribute to national prosperity.

From the Wllkcs-Barre Record,
There Is no donylng the fact that the
time Is very near when all trolley compa
nies, will be obliged to place fendecs on
their cars. They may be able to light It
off for a little while, but the wave of pub
lic sentiment mounts higher after each
setback. The companies may as well ac
cept the situation gracefully. To oppose
mich a necessary, improvement Would
place them in a bad position. The peoplo
who walk the stroets own them. They
have tho right of way. They are entitled
to protection. Noither they nor 'tholr
children should be obliged to endange
tholr lives or limbs every timo they cross
a street. Trolley companies receive valu
able franchises from the people. It Is
their duty to multo tholr service as safo
as possible, not only for those who ride
In their curs, but fur those who use tho
