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.

SENATOR MORGAN TALKS.
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."
