That Telephone Ordinance.
Representatives of the Interstate
Telephone company, who are seeking a
free franchise from the city of tcran
ton, object to the assertion that their
company is not a bona flde one. This
was to be expected. If they are confi
dent that a franchise, once granted,
would within a certain period, be
operated for telephonic rather than
speculative purposes, they need not
hesitate to give to the city an ample
gruaranty of their good faith. This Is all
that is sought; end it Is a condition
which ought never to be waived.
We do not question the veracity of
eny of the incorporators of this now
telephone company. We do not object
to competition In the telephone busi
ness. We simply submit for the con
sideration of councils that before an
other public franchise of any kind be
issued by their honorable bodies, the
city should be adequately protected
against possible Jugglery with its
granted .privileges. If the Interstate
Telephone company, or any other com
pany, be willing to give bond that with
in three, six, nine or twelve months af
ter the signing of the agreement, it will
do what it agrees to do, rthen we have
nothing further to say. Any honest
seeker after public privileges ought to
be perfectly willing to do this. Mani
festation of unwillingness Is presump
tive evidence of dishonest intentions,
and should inspire caution.
If this subject shall come up at to
night's meeting of common council, we
will expect the members of that body
to remember that they are under public
scrutiny in this matter; and to act ac
cordingly. No Need for Alarm.
Senator Smith, of New Jersey, takes
a philosophical view of the free silver
. agitation. He is opposed to It, but he
nevertheless admits that "if the coun
try should go to free silver, you can
trust the American people to immedi
ately undo their action If they suffer
from its consequences. There is In
telligence in the masses, and they will
not unnecessarily prolong any hurtful
conditions. They may try the experi
ment, and If it falls, as I think It will,
we will soon get back again to the firm
basis. Of course, In the meantime, we
may suffer some, but the wisdom
learned by experience Is the best wis
dom of all." .
This view ought to calm the fears of
those who appear to entertain the be
lief that this nation is on the verge of a
great upheaval. Even though the
"free silver craze" concerning which so
many eastern persons are unnecessarily
perturbed should pass the next 'con
gress, lt would surely encounter an
executive veto. At least three years,
therefore, separate us from any de
cided departure from our present cur
rency system; and how can this in
terval be better Improved than in dis
cussing the subject of proposed
changes In all Its bearings?
' One thing Is certain. The American
people are not going to deliberately rob
themselves. When they decide upon a
financial policy, it will succeed; and the
financial credit of the government will
not be permanently lowered In any for
eign capital," whether we have gold
monometallism, bimetallism by inter
national agreement or free silver coin
age on an Independent basis.
One Duty of Victory.
Now" that Quay county has been
beaten at Harrisburg by a slender mar
gin, lit would seem to behoove the au
thorities of Luzerne county tor bestir
themselves in an effort to remove one
of the principal arguments In behalf of
a division. .Since Influences at the
county seat have been potent enough
once more to stay the dividing knife,
the same influences, It would seem, are
in honor bound to give to the lower end
as clean an administration of Justice
and as thorough an enforcement of law
as It could have liad If erected Into a
separate county.
Since Easter it is claimed that twelve
homicides have occurred within the
area, which it was proposed to' discon
nect from Luzerne We have not kept
a record of the minor crimes, but It
does not need a presentation of statis
tics to establish that the administra
tion of justice in this region in recent
years has been little better than "farc
ical. It may be that In the thick of
Basterw civilization and culture, and
not far from the center of the second
wealthiest American state, it is tmpos
sibla to approximate to thorough en
forcement of law; but if this be the
fact, the publio is entitled to know it.
If not, those whose dereliction paves
the way to this rampant aggresslve
netie of the criminal element should be
brought to book.
We submit that the fight of our
Wllkes-Barre friends against the new
county movement carries with It the
moral duty of affording to the people
of Hazleton and its vicinity so good
a government that sensible ones among
them will not want another. Other
wise, H will be In order to send mis
sionaries unto these llfo-taklng home
heathen.
Questions That Need Answering,
Advocates of the gold single standard
make much of the fact that $GO0,O00,O0O
worth of silver In round numbers Is
today In use in this country ns money,
They seem to rrjrard the present ex
istence of this money as nil that Is
needed to constitute honest blmetall
Ism: yet In the next breath they pro
ceed to discredit these 000,000.000 sliver
dollars by calling them depreciated dol
lars, CO-c-nt dollars, dishonest dollars
and the like, ns If It were a pleasure
to them to s?e silver loss popular than
gold; and to have one-half our money
branded as a fraud. Honest bimetall
ism sanctions no such preference ns
this, nnd condemns nny effort to cry
down one moiety of the money-wealth
of the nation, In order that the other
half may experience a fictitious appreciation.
Under the Sherman silver purclfhso
net, we added about ns much silver to
our currency ns was needed to keep up
a per capita circulation of $25. The
annual gold production of the United
States about $35,000,000) does not suffice
to accommodate the natural increase in
population for 'the reason that scarcely
an ounce of it reaches the mints.
Roughly Bpenklnpr, the whole of our
present gold production Is utilized In
the arts. If, therefore, the United
States, while gaining In population to
the extent of a million a year, wishes
to have an elastic currency that will
keep pace with this growth in popula
tion, It must each year issue some-thing
more than $25,000,000 In new money
enough more than $25,000,000 to cover
the loss from fire, wear and tear, abra
sion, etc., and Issue It In some other
form than gold eagles or gold certifi
cates. The Sherman law, we repeat,
provided for this natural Increase, and
could safely have continued to make
provision for It for years to come had
not a unjustifiable hue and cry been
raised against it.
But now 'that it has been repealed,
what are we to do? Dare this growing
country try the hazardous experiment
of endeavoring to transact its Increas
ing business with a stationary and In
flexible currency with the $600,000,000
worth of gold and the $000,000,000 worth
of silver now In use, but subject the
one to exportation by speculative
money brokers, and the other to the
ponderous abuoe of our gold-iovlng
president? Even a school boy could
perceive that this would be suicidal.
Yet if silver Is henceforth to be put
under the ban, where are we to get
money to take Its place? We cannot
get gold enough; that Is certain. Must
we, then, fall back on wildcat state
notes, or unsecured federal promises-to-pay?
Those persons who are voci
ferously heading the hue and cry
against sliver should take time to an
swer these questions.
The American people have .no mind
to make another Jump from the frying
pan into the Are!
Views of Compulsory Education.
It Is Interesting to contrast the views
of the Philadelphia Record relative to
compulsory education with the opinion
of Superintendent Brooks. The Record
says:
Schools where ,the children are over
crowded for room and fresh air to breath';;
where tho teachers are overcrowded with
work; where light Is bad; where the desks
and seats are so arranged as to Insuru
physical discomfort; where there Is no
adequate provision for the care of wraps,
and whore often the play grounds are re
stricted, dark and in proximity to closets
giving forth foul odors, are, indeed,
schools of pestilence as well ns of Instruc
tion. They are tho ready disseminators
of contagious dlsoases. Would it not be
a matter of prudence to remedy these evils
before wo appoint an army of truant
hunters to chaje the children Into dan
gerous and unsanitary confinement? Or,
If we must have compulsory education,
should not tho area of compulsion bo
Umltod to the area In which proper pro
vision shall have been made for the phy
sical well-being as well as tho mental im
provement of pupils? There are eight or
ten thousand children of school nse in
Philadelphia for whom there Is no plnce in
the schoolhouses. What are the truant
drlvcrs to do with them?
Dr. Brooks said he was formerly
somewhat opposed to the principle of
compulsory education, but since he has
seen the vast number of children who
swarm the streets during school hours,
especially In tho southeastern part of
Philadelphia, where' -the foreign popu
lation is quartered, tils views have
somewhat changed. "The public
schools," said Dr. Brooks, "are adapted
to take these people with foreign in
stincts and foreign Ideas and mold
them into American citizens with an
appreciation of end a love for free gov
ernment; In a few years all these chil
dren will have a vote and their votes
will count as much as those of the
most Intelligent citizens, hence they
should be cast In favor of good govern
ment. It will be an education to these
children to come In touch with tho re
finement and culture of the teachers of
our schools and really, will be a revel
ation, to them because they have not
been accustomed to the influences of re
finement that are found in our public
schools. In the main I think that the
children can be cared for. It la the
duty of the city to provide for them,
and I think that the city will rise to
the needs of the sltualton."
Even a more emphatic expression of
opinion has been made by Avery D.
Harrington, member of the board of
education for the Second school district
of Philadelphia:
In Philadelphia we would at first, If
the law goes Into effect, be confronted
with a difficult problem because of the
luck or school accommodations. Hut such
an evil Is never remedied by postponement
ana want of action. Moreover, every child
of school age has the same right to an
education as every other child, and when
the parent, cither as an owner or renter.
pays taxes for the education of his child,
and tho purchase of books for their use.
he has a right to demand that they shall
be given school accommodation. When
such advantages are denied to even a
small portion of the community it means
the taxing of that part of the population
without rendering a Just and proper equiv
alent for the taxes levied and collected
for school purposes. The fact that twelve
or fifteen thousand children in this city
are now denied school advantages has not
appealed successfully to the community
at larjre, and It Is a cruel anil bitter
thought to father and mothers who aro
forced to see their children upon the
streets from day to day and growing tip
In ignorance of even the rudiments of the
duuut'.on which they aro unublo to pro
vide by sending them to private schools
and for which they aro taxed In common
with others. If tho present 1)111 should be
approved by tho governor It would certain
ly bo n Krcat stimulus to the present effort
to provide proper and necessary school
facilities.
The plea of Insufficient accommoda
tions is no argument at all. If It Is the
community's duty to educate a part of
Its young at public expense. It Is Its
duty to educate all of them. A com
pulsory education law would simply
force tho community to do this duty.
- -
If President Cleveland and his few
Wall street Republican admirers should
succeed In driving silver out of use as
money, we would have left Just about
S6O0,00tO00 worth of gold as a money
basis for the business transaction of
60,000,000 people; or, In other words, a
per capita, coin-backed circulation of
$10 affalnst $25 at present. That would
make it two and a half times harder
than now for the worklnginan to earn
a dollar, or for the debtor to obtain a
dollar with which to cancel his debt.
It would, therefore, multiply the wealth
of the creditor classes by two and then
add a half. And yet this absurd propo
sition dignifies itself by the name of
"honest money." We need not warn
blmetallists, even of the International
kind, that they can have nothing In
common with such a policy; nor will
the Republican party ever dare lend Its
aid to that policy's advocacy.
Archbishop Ireland, lecturing in Bos
ton on the duties of citizenship, declares
boldly that "the liquor power must be
totally eliminated from politics if we
respect the institutions of American
democracy and desire their perma
nence." It Is Interesting to notice that
many shrewd magnates In the liquor
trade likewise deplore the disposition
of persons engaged in that trade to
meddle with politics. They argue that
had it not been for this disposition,
much of the present political antagon
ism to the saloon business would not
now exist. If the saloon power shall
ever be overthrown, there is little doubt
that It will have only Itself to blame.
How would this ticket do for 1896:
For President Daniel H. Hastings, of
Pennsylvania.
For Vice President Cushman K. Davis,
of Minnesota.
For secretory of state In the next cabi
net, Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana; and
secretary of the treasury, William B. Al
lison, of Iowa?
With Tom Reed In the speaker's chair
and Major McKInley leading the admin
istration forces In the senate, who says
it would not be a Btrong combination?
Secretary Hoke Smith says he has no
doubt the next president of the United
States "will be opposed to the free coin
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1." We
have no doubt that he will be, what
Cleveland Is not, an honest blmetalllst.
We would esteem it a marked favor If
those who assert that the recent re
peal of the Sherman silver-purchase
law saved the nation from utter ruin
would explain how they reach such a
conclusion.
There Is no denying the ubiquity of
American Journalism when space is
used In a thousand newspapers to
chronicle the highly Important fact that
Clara Morris, the actress, has Joined
church. "
It 1st observed that Mr. Cleveland's
repugnance to the "pernicious activity"
of federal office, holders Is aroused
chiefly when that activity Is enlisted
on the wrong side.
It Is becoming increasingly evident
that Empire State Republicanism will
never reach a healthy condition until It
utterly purges Itself of Thomas C. Platt.
It is probable that the Rev. J. C.
Hogan's wise decision to retire from the
ministry will avert a good deal of un
necessary, embarrassment.
Having Just consummated the theft
of a governorship, the Tennessee Demo
cracy, we assume, will now endeavor to
steal a wink of sleep.
The Quay county people will pardon

to do,
Bomo other day;
And harbors we hope to drift Into

With folded hands and oars that trail.
We watch and wait for a favoring gule
To fill the folds of an Idle sail

We know we must toll if ever we win
Somo other day;
But we. say to ourselves there's time to be

And eo, deferring, we loiter on,
Until at lust we find withdrawn
The strength of the hope wo leaned upon
Sumo other day.
And when we are old and our race is run,
Some other day. ,
We fret for the things that might have

Some other day.
We trace tho path that leads us where
The beckoning hund of a grim despair
Leads us yonder, out of the here.

THE FLINN ROAD BILL.
From the Pittsburg Times.
The problem of how we Shall get good
driving and hauling roads Is an urgent one
to tho whole commonwealth, and this bill
offers the fairest and most practical so
lution of It which has yet been devised.
You cannot make and maintain good roods
without money, and there are Just three
possible sources of money for this purpose
which are worth considering, to wit, tho
townships, the counties and the state.
The township proposition has the virtu
of close local oversight and control, but
both theory and experience teach that
farm land worth from $30 to $00 an acre Is
not rich enough to pay for tho building
of good macadamized roads. A road sys
tem built by the state Is so far In tho
future, if It be possible at all, that the
present generation will havo no uso ot it.
The state is forbidden to Issue bonds for
such a purpose and it can hardly raise
enough tax now to meet the demands upon
It for educational and charitable pur-
Iposcs. Besides, the tendency Is more
and more toward putting tne tout, ex-
penso of the public schools upon tho state,
and any Increase in the state revenues
will bo devoted to school purposes, for
years to come. If we are to have good
roads, und they are the best Investment
any people can make, the counties must
take the lead In making them.
Senator Fllnn's bill is a general bill, as
It must be, but it Is a local option bill in
its application. It provides that the
county commissioners' of any county may
If they decide It to be desirable, and the
ootirt of common ideas of the county ap
proves, take any road as a county road,
to be made and maintained thereafter aB
such free of charge nnd cost to the town
ship through which It runs. For this
purpose they are empowered to levy a
special county road tax or not less tnan l
mill. The purpose Is that such counties us
see fit to do so, shall take charge of the
main roads. leaving all others to tho town
ship supervisors as now. The act will be
come applicable to any county only when
and to the extent which its own court and
county commissioners elect that it shall
do so. The probabilities are that less
than half a dozen counties would tako
advantage of It at once, but tho profit
able results shown by them would soon
extend its operations. There has not been
nn objection to the bill from any of tho
large tax-paying cities and boroughs, iho
farmer would have main roads good at all
seasons of the year at less expense to him
self, and every acre of farm land would
be brought closer to Its market by
doubling the load that a team could haul,
and shortening tho time of a trip .
