SCRANTON, MAY 3, 1895. The Amended Telephone Ordinance. The action of common council last evening In accepting the Judiciary com mittee's excellent amendment of the Interstate Telephone company fran chise ordinance guaranteeing that the franchise will be operated in accord ance with the verbal agreements of Its promoters puts this matter upon a foot ing; to which the puMlo can cordially yield its assent. Under the terms of this amendment, the new company must, within six months after date of the ordinance's signature, have in actual operation an exchange with facilities for 300 subscribers at a maxi mum annual rental cost, per "phone, of $20. To secure a faithful observance of these conditions, the company must file a $10,000 guaranty bond, with two approved sureties. These conditions will not embarrass tha Interstate people if they are in earnest; and thoy mitrht have been made even more exacting without over stepping the bounds of Justice. A valu able public privilege is virtually given away, subject to the elngle condition that it will be put to a tona-nde pur pose without unreasonable delay. The exacting of such a sensible condition as this marks a fortunate departure from familiar precedent, and is recommend ed to the select branch of councils as an excellent subject for imitation. If there had also been added a condition that in the central portion of the city the new company's wires should be placed underground, it would not have been an excessive requirement. Senator Morgan's Scathing Rebuke. Senator Morgan has been Interviewed on the Nlcaraguan question, and some of his assertions are gems of satirical rebuke to the Cleveland-Gresham policy of non-intervention. "I have no criti cism," Bays he, "to make of the admin istration, for the simple reason that I do not know what the administration haa done In the present emergency. I have conversed with no officer of the government who Is In a position to understand the policy now being car ried out. I presume" and the senator gave particular emphasis to the word "that the administration has done the right thing; that It has adhered to American principles end has Insisted upon the plain rights of this country end of Nicaragua. I do not know that such is the case, but in the absence of any information I am assuming that the administration Is taking the right course. So t have no criticism to offer of the attitude of the administration, but I can say this positively If It should prove that the administration has not done what I believe to be the right thing in the premises that is to say, has not taken steps to prevent Great Britain from equeezlng this little government and of obtaining a Hen upon it then congress at its session will, I am convinced, give utterance in no uncertain terms to a demand for the withdrawal of all British Interests from Nlcaraguan territory." After reviewing the alleged cause of England's seizure of Corlnto, the sena tor adds: I think there Is enough American spirit In the American people to put a stop to this proceeding. Great Britain Is not go ing to stop It of her own volition. Some body has i?ot to step In and be disagree able, and this seems to be a very good op portunity for . the United Stales to as sume that role. -1 think there is a spirit abroad In the land that would Insure a ready response tb any call that mlj?ht be made for aid In sustaining such nn atti tude by congress as I have In mind. I do not know absolutely what congress will do, but If It should turn out that this ad ministration has acquiesced In the Brit ish position '1 am afraid something very doclulve will be done. Of course It would be very rude In congress to do this, and it would also be rude for tho house and senate to practically order the president to take tho Held at the head of the Ameri can army, of which he Is the constitutional commander. I know that if certain men that I have In mind had been at the head of tho American administration we would know for ai certainty at this moment that every proper step had been taken to pre' vent British encroachments and to render such disagreeable action on the part of congress aa I have Intimated entirely un necessary. But those men are not In charge, and 1 have no means of knowing that the men who are at the head of af fairs have not, done their full duty In the premises. 80 In the absence of informa tion, I am not criticising the administra tion. I The. senator might have added with perfect Justice that It is not necessary to flghtt England to keep her off this continent. John Bull Is not fool enough to try to Se fend his absurd Nlcaraguan claim by fJtce ot arms, when his an' tagonlst Is a Vat-Ion of his own strength nd size. A wngle firm word by our government, uvered at the right time, would have pui a stop to the whole humiliating proceeding; the Anglican bully would have suddenly lost his ha bitual bluster, and the good faith of the United States, pledged by abundant precedents to the support of the Mon roe doctrine, would have been Vindi cated, to our decided advantage. We trust that when congress shall proceed to an Investigation of this second policy of presidential Infamy It will not handle the responsible malefactor with padded gloves. His recent escape from Impeachment must not be Interpreted by Mr. Cleveland as a license to make a permanent failure of himself when by such a course he brings dishonor upon the American people. Gold (iermg. John V. Farwell, the eminent Chicago merchant, has been somewhat puzzled by the violent Insistence of the so called "honest money" press that tha only safe thing for this government to do It to copy the gold monometallic sys tem of England and turn its back upon Silver. Says he: "Some of tho best thinkers in the universities ot the United States, England and Scotland, together with several ex-governors of the Bank of England, ahd other great men of Great Britain and elsewhere, believe that international bimetallism at a uniform ratio Is not only possible but desirable, and that monometallism has been, and will continue to be, a menace to universal prosperity among all classes, except owners of gold and gold securities, who alone are benefited by It. If this is financial heresy, I for one want to be set right." Mr. Farwell is not alone In this desire for enlightenment. Until a few months ago, It was the belief of practically all our citizens, excepting perhaps the gold brokers and their friends, that a time would never come in America when the whole force of the executive branch of the government would be thrown Into tha scale of gold against silver, so that the one metal might artificially advance in value precisely In propor tion as the other Is artificially de pressed. Not only was it believed in those salad days that the constitution expressly discountenanced such an at tempted repudiation of one-half tho money of the nation, but It was further believed that when, in 1892, both the political parties, divided as they were on other questions, unanimously de clared for bimetallism they meant some thing more than a deceitful promise which a candidate elected on that plat form might violate at will. But, in the Interval, a Daniel has come to Judgment; a fat .Daniel, who, having made a hopeless mess of every thing else with which he has meddled, now proceeds to h'jad an assault upon the silver current among our people. It might be asked why atiy considera ble number of tho American people. In the light of their past experience with Grover Cleveland, would again harkvn to Ills delusive voice. It might be in quired why the bidding of tho gold ex porters which he obediently repeats should suddenly have a charm for the usually thoughtful masses, whose un doing it would effect. We can account for these phenomena only on patho logical grounds, by the hypothesis that gold germs are in the air. Is Hars Inhabited? Professor Holden, of Lick observa tory, scouts the Idea that Mars is in habited. He rejects, also, the theory that Mars has canals. Observations by him of the spectrum of that planet convince him that Mars 'has an atmo sphere utterly insufficient to sustain human life. He contends that Its atmo sphere la certainly as thin as that sur rounding the highest peak of the Hima layas, and probably much thinner; so that, If there be any animate Marslans at all, they muot necessarily be ethereal beings invisible to an inhabitant of this earth. All this makes a very interesting speculation, but it is much less con vincing than a glimpse through Profes sor Coles' Electric Eye. That marvel ous Instrument distinctly reveals a sur face on Mars which could not be ex plained except upon the hypothesis that the planet has an atmosphere even heavier than our own. It shows great masses of mountains and fertile val leys, dotted with Immense lakes. In these valleys towering vegetation Is discernible, consisting chiefly of great, palm-like trees, rising to a phenomenal height and capped with short, thick branches, like broom corn magnified a thousand fold. While there are no direct revelations of animal life the contour of the country and the appar ent fertility of the lowlands would seem to lend plausibility to an affirmative belief on this point. It is claimed by Professor Coles that only a portion of Mars, however. Is habitable, other portions being yet ' In a molten, br volcanic, state. Photographs taken by him of cer tain portions of tho planet reveal great, white spears of light, as If immense natural gas wells were spurting forth streaks of Intense Il lumination. When we consider that Mars receives approximately eleven times as much light from the sun as our own planet receives, the Intensity of these exhalations of 'Marslan light, standing out as they distinctly do, even against a background of fierce sunlight, may be Imagined. . . The study of the question raised by Profeesor Holden Is a fascinating one, even to the layman in astronomy; but if all that the Electrlo Eye reveals' be true, the Lick professor is viewing things Marslan as through a glass, darkly. I Our Detroit namesake suggests that all existing coinage laws be repealed and that there be "enacted a la creat ing a new American dollar,! which should be the sole standard colli of the nation, this dollar to be com 4ot 1 . 206 grains of standard silver and 12 9-10 grains of standard g4ld fUBed to gether and struck Into a handsome coin about the size of the present half dol lar. The coin would be of absolutely staple value, for In case of disparity at any tJme in the commercial values of gold and silver, what was lost by the depreciation ot one metal would be made up by the exactly corresponding appreciation of the other." There is nothing like an artlstio straddle, when you have to straddle at all. Merchant Farwell, of Chicago, asks three very pertinent questions when he inquires of financiers ot the Cleveland school: 1. Is gold alone sufficient primary money for the world? 2. If not, will gold and silver together provide am excess? 3. If not, Is any nation desiring com mercial relations with all the world as wo und England do Justltled In restrict ing tho amount of primary money in the Interest of any class of citizens? Of course, the Cleveland school will re ply that they do not intend to do away with silver altogether. Unfortunately for that bluff, Secretary Morton, in his recent burst of loquacity, gave It all away. There is no doubt whatever that Mr. Cleveland's purpose, if he could accomplish It, would be to retire every silver dollar and every silver cer tificate from circulation, throwing our currency back on a restricted gold basis, and making dollars twice as scarce and therefore twice as valuable as they are today, and It is this absurd policy that many Republicans are mis takenly applauding. The prediction is made in the current number of Scrlbner's that before the end of the century all railroad trains will be propelled by electricity. This will necessitate the replacement of many million dollars now invested in steam locomotives; but people will travel more than they do today, and the railway companies' receipts will be greater. It is probable, too, that rates will cheapen. A passenger rate of say one cent a mile would unqestlonably prove welcome. If those nations which have adopted the single gold standard would turn 'round and demonetize gold, substitut ing silver, is anybody foolish enough to believe that a gold dollar, measured In silver, would not Boon depreciate until worth only fifty (Os? The re monetizatlon of silver 1P the leading nations, thus restoring bimetallism, would soon end the cry of "fifty-cent" silver dollars. A Chicago Interview quotes Senator Allison as having recently said: "It might be well enough to have a sliver standard, If the remaining nations of the world could be Induced to accept tMB same, but In my opinion international bimetallism is about as impossible as the discovery of the North Pole." We will wager a straw hat that Senator Allison never said anything of the kind. The Tribune is opposed, on principle, to the regulation of municipal govern ments from Harrlsburg. But the tone of certain Philadelphia Journals In their comments upon the proposed Lexowlng of Philadelphia would seem to Indicate that a little bona fide probing by some body on the inside might at least have an exemplary effect The American people certainly have the gift of patience. In some countries, if a chief executive should make the number of Inexcusable blunders that Cleveland has made, he would be not Jiily impeached, but also exiled. And now Sir Edward Gray, speaking for the English government, says the United States didn't even offer to ar bitrate the Nlcaraguan affair. Appar ently the United States let England have the whole game to herself. A stationary currency means either a stationary population or a panic. Do the advocates of gold monometallism favor the Chinese policy of infanticide so as to fit our population to our supply of gold? If a combination of European nations should undertake to say what Ameri cans should do In their own continent, we guess there would soon be some fun. Let Japan apply this hint to herself. It begins to look as though Postmas ter Vandllng had hit upon a plan of Interpreting civil service reform in ac cordance with the ideas ot the wild- eyed and hungry Democracy. As between helping the owners of American silver .mines and . helping foreign syndicates, It surprises us that anybody in this country should be at a loss haw to choose. Senator Quay's decision not to visit Harrlsburg this session will tend to in tensify the anxiety ot members still on the fence. Queen Victoria's "great and good friend" at Washington seems this time to have somewhat overdone the friend ship role. Isn't the Cuban-revolution-ended ru mor becoming a trifle stale? It begins to look as If Scranton at last had a 1ml 1 club. FOR YOU. For you, dear heart, the light God's smile, where'er you be, And if he will the night, .

Views of a Leading Democratic Senator on tha Romarknble Attitudo of the Present Administration Toward tho British Seizure of Nlcaraguan Soli. Interview In Washington Star. 'John Bull la the same today, In 1895, as he was In 1776. Nothing In the meanwhile has occurred to change the character of his disposition. He la 'the aaine grasping, greody, clover fellow always ready to en large his territories and his power. He looks upon America with the earn eyes today that he did when we wore a band of colonies. Independent In every particular except In fact, and though he la a little more cautious in his aggressions in Nica ragua he Is playing the same game that he was then. Has the loss of the Ameri can colonies altered him In the least in his attitude toward them? Not at all. He has come steadily enlarging his posts, until he has nearly surrounded the United States with a chain of British colonies and possessions. He has a continent, Aus tralia, larger in territory than the united States. He has taken Cyprus, Egypt, countless Islands. He has squeezed us out of territory on our western coast, giving him a free seaboard on the western edge of this continent. He has bulldozed us out of the value of our seal fisheries in Alaska. He would have taken Samoa if It had not been necessary to fight Germany In order to accomplish this. He is even now trying to Increase his dominion over a lurge part of Venezuela. The president of the United States tried to give him Hawaii, for to establish the British su premacy over one Island In that group, as was proposed by the cablo concession, would have surely been to give Great Brit ain absolute control of the entire country. And here. In Nicaragua, and in this day of enlightenment, we see this same nation, with Its record of centuries, a record of aggression, despotic squeezing of weak na tions, bulldozing, braggadocla, attempting to obtain a foothold in a land where the lntorests of the United States are para mount. To let Great Britain secure this privilege now would be to give her control of American commerce and to Jeopardize almost every American Interest. I do not believe that the American people are ninnies, and cannot see these things as they really are. I do not think that they havo becomo arrant asses and are pur blind to the commonest principles of pro tection and precaution. The Flimsy Pretext. "Nor do I think there Is a man living in this country today who can read who does not laugh to scorn the pretext that Great Britain Is making today that she has any thing like a case against Nicaragua. The cause of the present controversy Is shal low, flimsy and nonsensical. It is so pal pably a case where a great, big, strong fel low has deliberately put a chip on his broad shoulder, and when tho little fellow has not knocked it off has shaken it off himself In order to pick a quarrel. The Nlcaraguan government found this man Hatch fomenting strife among the Indians and negroes on the Mosquito coast. He was a plain, ordinary citizen, probably an adventurer. To be sure, ho" might have been a British consul. If Great Britain had appointed him such, which she had not done, and ho might have been recognized diplomatically under those circumstances If Nicaragua had Issued to him an exequa tur, which she had not. Of course there was within him the possibility of being of great Importance, which, unfortunately for the position today, ho was not. He was taken away from the territory whore he was causing trouble, Just as this gov ernment would take him away from a re gion where ho was fomenting sedition, and sent out of the territory. He was not pun ished, he was not hunged, nor was ho treated with any great Indignity. His case presents none of the elements of se verity shown In tho case of Mr. Waller, who has been sentenced to twenty years of Imprisonment by a French court-martial. llritish Prido Sadly Hurt. "Yet this simple act of precaution by this weak, defenseless nation has bo wounded the British pride, has so harmed the prestige of tho great English nation, and hus so besmirched and bedraggled the dignity of the empire as to have In flicted damages on Great Britain amount ing exactly to $75,000. Now, this sum is merely the amount of the pecuniary value of the injury done to the sensitive Brit ish feelings. Great Britain distinctly says that sho will put asido for the present, to be adjudicated later, the consideration of tho damages inflicted on Mr. Hatch and his property. That, you will mind. Is a side issue, an unimportant. Insignificant questton. But the nation, however, has been wounded In pride and spirit $75,0u0 worth, and England says to Nicaragua: 'If you don't Batlsfy this claim for an In sult under which the entire British na tion Is bursting with anger, we'll seize your coasts, destroy your commerce, pil lage your towns perhaps we'll kill a few thousand of your people Incidentally while we are doing this, but at any rate, we'll have satisfaction for" this horrible af front you have given us.' Why, do you know, if any American citizen were to set up such a plea as that In any court of the land he would be laughed at by Judges and by Jury, and would be driven from the court house with his cause ground to powder. If the president of the United States In his private capacity Bhould thus autocratically set up such a plea for dam ages to his personal character and dig nity he would be sneered at from one end of the land to the other, Just as I know tho American peoplo are today sneering at Great Britain for Its childish, puerile, weak excuse for a belligerent attitude to ward this defenseless country."
