Mr. Cleveland has Issued nnothrr proclamation In behalf of "sound money," and In this document, as In former ones, he unfortunately omits to explain what he means by that phrase. "We protest that It Is unworthy of tho president of the United States thus to obscure tho popular understanding on this vital subject. It he will Issue an explicit definition of his meaning, the public may then fairly decide whether or not It will agree with him; but, today, the anomalous spectacle is presented of three dlfferfrnt economic armies one pledged to gold monometallirm. one to bimetallism end one to the free, un limited and Independent colnagi? of sil vereach parading under banners de claring with the president in favor of "sound money." The CleveUnd Ph'Jb boleth does service In each camp. Now, for which camp did he Int"nd it? Fortunately, Mr. Cleveland's comp troller of the currency, Janio.T H. Kck'jlj, like the secretary of agriculture, Mr. "Morton, Is not so much given to speak ing in delphlc generalities. In his re cent speech nt Detroit, he comes out flat-footed for a Blngle gold standard; and for the non-coinage of any more silver until the nations of the world shall have made up their minds to re store silver to Its old-time parity with gold, which they would probably never do while we refused to coin Filver our selves. The meaning of this course Is clear. It would retain our present sil Tor coinage amounting to some $000, 000,000 Just as It would retain tho treasury notes, purely as a fiat money supplementary to gold. This silver would, In truth, be -worth, In market value, DO cents on the dollar, because Its qualities, aa a primary money equal to gold would toe removed without hope of future restoration. Then, when this debased silver should be retired, as It would soon be, in consequence of its anomalous standing before t'he law, Mr. Eckels would patch out our limited stock of primary gold money by the issue of state bank notes, worth perhaps a cent on the dollar. This In the Kckels notion of a "sound currency;" and In behalf of such a currency as this, for the most'part, a flat currency, pure and simple, having only a small quantlty'of appreciating gold behind it for purpose.-! of redemption, and retaining this gold only so long as the Gotham gold-exporters -would refrain from shipping It to London he -would literally destroy the American sliver Industry, In which American capital once found proflta)ble investment and American labor re munerative employment. Free trade could do no worse a died. If Mr. Eckels kind of money Is the kind "which President Cleveland calls "sound money," it Is a safe guess that the American people will have none of it. We do not, on the other hand, be lieve that they would care to try the risky experiment of the unlimited free coinage of silver; for the reason that while this might work to their advant age, If given a fair chance, tho senti ment against It Is too strong at this time to allow it euch a chance. Cut why should we not try tho experiment of coining the silver produced in American mines, at a ratio, sty, of 20 to 1, protecting the same from foreign competition by a high tariff, just as we protect other American Industries which are threatened 'by the low prjees of free trade Europe? It Is argued by some that . foreign security-holders would get scared If we should do this. A sufficient reply should be that to have foreign money-lenders scared without due reason would be preferable to hav ing home business men ruined and homo Industry paralyzed by the Inevitable contraction of our currency which would follow the permanent establish ment of gold monometallism. Wo suspect that It is time for pro tection (Republicans to quit training with the free trade, gold standard wing of the Democratic party, and to get into line with ithelr party platform for an American, policy of genuine bimetall ism. " " ". Why? ,; The important Information Is vouch safed toy Walter Wellman in a letter from Washington to the Chicago Times Herald that "President Cleveland and Secretary Gresham are firm and en thusiastic believers In the Monroe doc trine, and at the first moment they be lieve that doctrine to have been violated they will act. in a manner fully satis factory to the most enthusiastic friends of American Institutions." This recalls the old couplet: 'Torhaps you did well to dlasomble your love, nut why did you kick mu down etulis?" Time to Clean Up. Dr. Allen was Justified tho other eve nlng In calling the nttentlon of the board of health to tho unsanitary condi tion of numerous vacant lota within the city's limits, and the board very properly decided to request the chief of police to bring the offenders to book. The practice In vogue of dumping nil kinds of refuse material upon r.uch lots Is one to lie resolutely repressed. Much of this rffune should go to tho crema tory. The remainder, before beini; used for "Illling-in" purposes, should be thoroughly disinfected, under proper supervision; and afterward covered with cufilclent soil to prevent the spread of obnoxious odors. Those who have had occasion re cently to visit the bnse bail park will re call the pungent smell which urines from one of these offal dum'ii situated aljn.TsIde the road Just wert of the river. It Is not possible to believe that such a iirr.ell can lie conducive to hee.Ith. Yet almoin an aere of disease-breeding material here lies uncovered to every wind the, blows, r.nd enrts continually add to the quantity. There could be no objection to this method of disposing of wa?te material were the material properly disinfected and then burled. I'.lit idmply to dump It in a heap where every wind and rain may carry Its pestilential germs to unknown dis tance on minions of evil is like ab surdly trifling with diinrrer. V.'e mention tills particular plague spot becr.ure just now It Is generally known and condemned. There are, however, dozens of other places fully pestilential; and now la the proper time for the municipal authorities to take action In the premires. Mean while, thos? householders who augment the vacant-lot. evil by maintaining biick-yrrrd nurseries of disease and fu nerals enn do no bettor service for thrmrelves and for the public than to injtiniti a thorough clo.aninir-up. It Is Impussl ole for the police to do every thing. Let every citizen consider that ho has been appointed a special sani tary committee of one, for the purpose of putting things into proper condition. The city's pood health should be a con cern of every resident of Seiranton. That Philadelphia Investigation. A lnr.ro number of the foremost citl r.ens of Philadelphia, feeling that tho public Interests were not receiving proper attention from the municipal councils of thut city: and, also, that, under the Bullitt charter, no effective Inquiry into suspect"d dereliction could be accomplished by local initiative, have petitioned the Pennsylvania sen ate to appoint a committee to investi gate the workings of that charter. Tho request Is not parallel to that which called tho famous Lexow committee Into existence, for the reason that it contemplates merely such nn Inquiry Into the workings of tho Dullltt charter as will enable the legislature to decide whether a revision of that charter will be necessary. It does not stnrt with the assumption that the municipal gov ernment of Philadelphia Is honey combed with fraud and rottenness; nor Is it likely that it would end with such nn assumption verified. Therefore, the warning cry of certain Philadelphia In fluences against such an inquiry, as expressed last week In councils, may, It would seem, be fairly disregarded. It would bo bettor from every point of view if the people of Philadelphia could muster up the courage and the strength to do their own Investigating; but the virtual confession of a consid erable number of them that they can not do this brings a manifest duty to the door of the state senate. The charge has beer publicly proclaimed that cer tain branches of the city gavernment of Philadelphia are utterly unsatisfactory. This charge Is brought by eminent Po publlcansnnd eminent Democrats alike. It Is non-nnrtlsiiii. and it Is generally believed. Under such circumstances vo do not see how the Republican party can well afford to deny it. by refusing the reqiurt for an Inquiry, preferred by the people most Interested. If It ehould transpire that the suplcions of these persons were groundless, no harm would be done. If It rhnuld prove that they weru founded on fact, the Republi can party would get the credit for do ing its duty toward the public; Just ns It would be condemned If it should shirk that duty. The current notion that Senator Pen rose's resolution is a piece of factional warfare does Injury to the opposite fac tion by presupposing that it would suffer from a senatorial Inquiry. Thfl point at Issue, however, irises far above personalities. It rises to the plane of public duty. If the people of Philadel phia nrn being misgoverned, It ought not to make, any difference which party or faction, Is In control-, the evils of that mlsgovernment ought to be eradicated, and the Republican party ought to be glad to be tho means of that erad)caJ tlon. Parties exist fni' the welfare of the public; tho public does not exist solely for tho welfare of parties or fac tions of parties. As we have raid, It would be better, very much better, If Phlladelphlnns themselves could do their own Investigating; but if they are unable to do this and the consensus of opinion seems to be that they are un ablethen the . sooner the senate at Ilarrisburg comes to their rescue,, the better for the future Interests of the Republican party, both In Philadelphia and throughout the state. ' In view of all .the circumstances, the Penrose resolution should pass. The contention of Rev. j. C. Hogan that he has (been discriminated against because of his advocacy of prohibition views would have more force If it wers proved that all ministers in the Wyom ing oonferenoo who hold similar vlows had teen similarly treated. It Is sua pected by many that tho trouble with Mr. Hogan is not what he thinks, but th.u offensive and uncharitable manner In which he often speaks and writes concerning those who differ from him In opinion. Zeal without discretion; earnestness without charity and empha sis without common sense become, not virtues, but drawbacks. A minister who finds It necessary to use abusive Kinguugu toward persons who do not vote ns ha votes shows by that 'fact that ho I H'k: somo the essential requisites of his Icii'ty position. Ftfcretnry Atherton, of the board of trade, Is in receipt of a letter from the commissioners of Washington, V. C, with a copy of resolutions passed by them under date of January 31, which mak"s It obligatory upon ull street rail way companion Jif thut city to place n certain style of safety "pick up" fend ers on all cars operated by them, on or before April 1, 1S9S, under a penalty of Sli'i per day for each car not so equipped nHer that date. If Ualtimore. nufTnlo, Wanhlngton and other large cities require fenders to be used, why not Seranton? The opening of the Biiperbly-equlpped Moses Taylor .Hospital to the public nt th actual cost of the service rendered Is a fortunate forward step by the In stitution's management. Now if some liberal citizen should wish to provide a fund endowing a number of these public beds, thus freeing them to the public absolutely, would it conflict with tho terms of the original endowment? The present waste of space In this hos pital Is deplored by all. Could It not thus be overcome without violence to the will of the rcenerous founder? ncnernl Kerwln, Mr. Piatt's repre sentative on the Gotham police board refuses to comply with Mayor Strong's request that he resign. He bases his refusal largely upon the ground that since Mayor Strong was "elected as a Republican by Republican votes" both of which premises nre untrue it Is the mayor's duty to retain such Republi cans in office as .Mr. Plntt dictates. The fact will ono of these days dawn upon even General Kerwln's mind that Thoma3 C. Piatt does not constitute a majority In the Republican party. The Washington correspondents are in the field with cabinet deals for 1S37. One story, printed yesterday, repre sented Governor McKlnley as offering ono cabinet portfolio and all the New York patronage to Thomas C. Piatt In exchange for the support, next summer, of the New York delegation. It does not require a large experience in poli tics to convince any Intelligent news paper reader that this story Is utterly absurd. Mr. Cleveland's letter to Governor Stone, of Missouri, on the sliver ques tion, contains the threat that he will dismiss all federal officials who do not shout and work for his particular scheme of "honest money." But inas much as nobody yet knows authorita tively Just what his august highness particular scheme Is, it Is probable that few heads will fall. It. Is announced that Theodore Roose velt 'has senatorial ambitions. As a senator from New York he would be a decided improvement over the Hon. Ed ward Murphy, Jr., of the brewing firm of (Murphy & Co., Troy. A specific explanation by Mr. Cleve land of his own Idea of "sound money" would clear the murky political atmo sphere like a lightning flash. But fhimderous generalities only augment the prevalent perplexity. It Is exceedingly unfortunate that the present legislature cannot see Its way clear to the Institution of the first stages of road reform. The longer this matter 13 delayed, the more It will cost. The party which wanted, with Grover Cloveland's Consent, to restore the ''wildcat" state bank currency of tho past Is a poor party to pose as the pres ent champion of "sound money." Thin administration might recoup its vanished revenues by a CO per cent, ex port tax; on title-wedding American hBiresses; and little would be the popu lar complaint thereat. Deputy Collector Craig gaily rides to the ball ipark with the Robinsons; and Colonel Fltzslmmons quietly paws wood. Spanish generals. If they would pacify Cuba, should talk less and do more oerious thinking. Tllli NEW WOMAN. O, tho Twentieth Century Girl! What u wonderful thing she will be!

The congressional apportionment bill agreed upon by tlw house committee divides the state Into thirty districts, an Increase of two. One of these is given to Philadelphia and the other to Allegheny county.

The Pennsylvania delegation In the Firty rourth congress will stBiul: Republicans, 2S; Hemocrata, 2. Philadelphia will have six districts liiidur tho new apportionment. Flvo of theso nre surely Republican; the other In probably Democratic. The First dintrlet will lie composed of the First, Twenty-sixth, Twenty-seventh, Thirtieth and Thirty-sixth wards; tho Second of the Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth. Sev enth, Klirhth. Ninth and Tenth wards; the Third district of thu Eleventh, Twelfth, Thirteenth, Fourteenth Fif teenth and Twenty-ninth wards; the Fourth district of the Sixteenth, Seven teenth, Klgliteenth, Twentieth, Thlrty-aco-ond.

Tho Seventh district, Chester and Dola ware, gave over 5,000 Republican majority In 1892, nnd nearly 11,000 last full. The Eighth, Montgomery and llerks, has hith erto been debatable. In 182 Wangnr, Re publican, hud W) majority. Last fall he had 4.S20. The Ninth, Northampton, Mon roe, Carbon and Pike, bus alwayB been strongly Democratic. The Tenth, Berks and Lehluh, Is known as the "Democratic Gibraltar." It gave Erdnian lO.STiS two years ago, but he only got 1,!M8 In 181)4. Lancaster county forms the Eleventh dis trict. The Republican majority runs from ,im to 12,00a. The Twelfth district Is Lackawanna. It Is now securely Republican. Lusterne, tho Thirteenth, Is also regarded as permanent ly anchored In theUepublleancolumn. Tho Fourteenth dintrlet Is Schuylkill; Rellly, Democrat, represented It two consecutive terms, having J.iMl majority In 1892. Last year ex-Congressman Bmmm, Repub lican, defeated him by 2,229 votes. The three anthracite districts have heretofore been doubtful. Tho Republicans now clnim them bb safe. The Fifteenth district. Dauphin, Perry and Lebanon; tho Sixteenth, Bradford, Siisquchannn, Wayno and Wyoming, and the Seventeenth, Tioga, Pottor, Lycoming and Clinton, tiro surely Republican. The Eighteenth, Northumberland, Columbia, Montour nnd Sulllvon, gave 5,303 Demo cratic majority In 1802. Slnfferly carried it Inst fnil by 04 votes, but Kulp. Repub lican, had 894 majority over ex-Senntor Buckalow. The district Is now regarded as doubtful. The Nineteenth, Hunting don. Mllilln, Juniata, Snyder, Union, Franklin and Fulton, Is solidly Repub lican. The Democrats have always car ried the Twentieth, York, Cumberland and Adams, until last November, when Stahle, Republican, turned tho Democratic ma jority of 1892 Into a Republican majority of 2,384. Hastings only carried It by 47 votes. Tho Allegheny Districts. The Twenty-first, Cambria, P.lalr, Som erset and Bedford, and the Twenty-second, Westmoreland, Armstrong, Joffer Bon and Indiana, are Republican beyond doubt. Allogheny is divided Into the Twenty-third, Twenty-fourth and Twenty fifth districts, all Republican. Fayetto, Washington and Greene compose the Twenty-sixth district, a portion of Alio gheny county having been detached from them. In 1S92 Cleveland carried the three counties by 1,287 votes. Last fall Hast ings carried them by 3,899. The Twenty seventh district. Beaver, Lawrence, Mer cer and Butler, Is Republican; the Twenty eighth, Crnwford and Erie, brought Sib ley to tho front by sending him to con gress In 1892, but retrieved' Itself by giv ing 2.404 majority against him Inst fall. Seott, Democrat, also carried It twice. The Twenty-seventh district is changed, the counties of Clarion and Forest having been taken by thn committee from tho old Twenty-eighth nnd attached to It. The district Is Republican, Clnrlon being the only Democratic county. As Forest will offset It, the district will give about tho same majority that Venango, Warren, Me Keen nnd Cameron, the old dlBtrlct, al ways rolled up. The Thirtieth district Is composed of Elk, Clearfield and Clinton, tho remains of tho old Twenty-eighth, In 1K92, these, with Clarion nnd Forest, gave a Democratic majority of 4,001. Last fall the same counties elected Arnold. Repub lican, by 1,797, Elk, Cloarneld and Cen ter aro naturally Democratic, although Hastings enme within 74 votea last foil of carrying Elk snd won out In Clearfield and Center by 1,027 and 821. respectively. Tho Republicans certainly have 20 of the 30 districts. Of tho other ten districts the Republicans have equal chance with the Democrats in at least five. A CONTRAST. look on This Picture. rcranton truth: "our enter prising contemporary, the 8c it anton tribune. has added a wil1cf.h-iiarhe department to jts many other attractions, with the vetehan journalist, colonel j. d. laoiar, in chargk of it. t1i10 trim un k is to be con gkatci.atf.p on securing the valuable services of colonel lac'iar for this position. the tribunr has also anded an other column to each ov its paoeh, making them eight col umns wide. these substantial improvements cannot fail to give increased interest and value to our excellent con temporary, colonel lac1ar has long been known as one of the ablest political writers in the state, and we are glad to Know that his graceful and kohceful pen is to remain ac tive in scran ton journalism." Then Look On This Ono. Joscrnnton'g republican: "The Tribune has ndded another column to the page. Tho demand for poster advortlslng must be on the Increase." MEET IT SQUARELY. rlttsburg Commerclal-Gaiette. The best advice that we can give to the Republican leaders of tho state Is that they should meet tho Issue raised by the Penrose resolution fairly and squarely. The Inquiry la based on tho demand of a very considerable number of highly reput able and Influential citizens of Philadel phia that the operations of the Bullitt charter shall be carefully Inquired Into. No specific charges are made against any department of tho city government, but expenditures have been largely Increased since the present charter went Into opera tion, and It Is dslrable to know' whether the people ore getting corresponding bene fits, or whether the charter might not be Improved In this and In other respects. If there In really nothing wrong either with the city government or with tho op erations of the Bullitt charter, It Is all-important that tho people should be thor oughly satisfied on those points. No pob sible harm can come to the party, either as regards Philadelphia or the state at large, from an Investigation that will vin dicate the municipal government of the chief city of the state against even the suspicion of extravagance or corruption, A legislative committee Is the only agency by which the work can be satis factorily accorhpllBhed. The city council has not the power to get atthe testlrriony, and If It hod It would not use It for obvious reasons. Every consideration prompts to the conclusion that the resolutions should be poBKcd and the Issue squarely and frankly mat. Suppose the committee shall refuse to report or the senate to adopt the resolutions, what Inference would be drawn from such action? Would tt not be tantamount to a confession that thora was somothlnc rotten something unsav ory which those oppesinc an Investigation are Interested In keeping under cover? There la greater danger of Injury to tho party as a romilt of defeating the Inquiry than by ordering It. TOLD BY THE STARS. Dally Horoscopo Drawn by Ajacehus, The T ribune Astrologer.
