flonesty the Best Policy.
It is perhaps well that the Scrnnton
in, the courts, the Issue whether or not
the authority granted In Us charter to
the Scranton and Providence Street
Railway company, under act of March
20, 1SG6, has, by conveyance, been since
vested In the present Traction com
pany. This Issue Is one of great Impor
tance to the city, since if deckled affirm
atively It aroukl, In the opinion of many
persons, virtually clothe the Scranton
Traction company with the riRht to oc
cupy any street In the city, independent
of mayor and councils.
In passing upon the li'tal pilnts In
volved in this litigation, Iho courts will
doubtless also fully consider the pub
lic's Interest, or, in other tvurcln. the
equity of the case. From t?ie stand
point of a layman it would soom to bo
competent for the court to tvllect, in
this connection, upon the nn-Amcrlcan-ism
of an attempted usurpation, by a
corporation organized for purposes of
gain, of the streets of a municipality,
independent of the authorities of that
municipality. Such a usurpation, if
tolerated, would be tantamount to an
invalidation of the principle of hom'e
rule; and, however disguised, would bo
hardly less than a mild form of tyranny.
Curiosity has often been expressed by
prominent citizens of Sovnnton vh
the corporation known as the Scranton
Traction company should be apparently
unwilling to meet the citizens of this
town fairly and In good faith; why It
should not gladly volunteer to conduct
its business operations openly and hon
orably; why. In short, It should feel that
cunning and a liberal nursing of cer
tain councllmen would be more to its
advantage than a frank policy of
square dealing with the public which
supplies Its revenues. If It would pay
more heed to equity and less to chican
ery of one kind and another, the opin
ion Is general that it would soon be in
better favor among the people.
Taklno- thn Hint
The evacuation of Corlnto by Great
Hrltatn may be duo, nominally, to the
iaci mat me nepunuc or Nicaragua
has promised to cash Eugland's ab
surd claim; but iwe have ojir suspicions
that It was really hastened by the wave
of indignant protest -which was rapidly
mounting high throughout the United
States.
If the American people had been will
ing to remain as indifferent to this lat
est Invasion of Central American terri
tory as their president and secretary of
state were, it is our belief that Corlnto
'would yet foe in the possession of Brit
ish marines; and along with it perhaps
other strategic points still more im
portant. But they were not willing; and
John Bull has probably escaped a vivid
example of forcible ejectment.
In the light of England's past record,
It is always fair to view her promises
with distrust; and while hoping for
the best, to get ready for the worst.
Acting upon this wise dictum, the
American people were preparing, in
spite of their "conservative" adminis
tration, to "get ready for the worst;"
end we credit English diplomacy with
enough good gense to be able to take
"uch a hint.
Brooks Law Amendment..
IfMhe -Mitchell bill to amend tho
Brooks High Lie wise law should pass
tho legislature in its present form,
which may bei considered doubtful, sev
eral new perquisite would be added to
the patronage at the disposal of the
Quarter Sessions court. After declar
- tng that neither music nor free lunches
shall form ta part of -the saloon busi
ness, the bill establishes a syntem of
graded license fees, ranging from $1,G00
for each, dealer In a first-class city
whoso gross annual . receipt shall
amount to $35,000 or over, down to (75
for the township dealer whose grows
receipts amount to less than $10,000.
Then it provides that each licensed
dealer shall contribute $15 or $20 for tho
payment of Inspectors and clerks, to be
named by the court, and to ascertain
the gross receipts of the Various sa
loons, Tha awlery of one of these in
spectors may tt exceed $2,000 per an
num; and s many may be appointed
aa shall Be found neoewtry to do the
business. Wo should imagine that in
Lackawanna county, under stinh a law,
the sertices of at least, three Inspectors
would be required.
A much mora valuable, becoure more
practicable, feature of the Mitchell bill
M the section which strikes at the
speak-easy nuisance. This section
reads: "Any house, room or place, ho
tel, inn or tavern, where vlnouH, spiritu
ous, malt or browed liquors are sold,
offered for sale, drank or given away
In violation of any law of this common
wealth, shall bo held 'and declared a
nulsanca and a disorderly house, and
shall be abated by proceedings at law
or equity, whlfch. may be Instituted by
tilie commonwealth, or any private citi
zen. All expenses connucied with such
proceedings, including a counsel foe of
$20 for the counsel of cinr.lnlnant, shall
be paid by defendant or defendants,
Any person of perxons who shall be
found drinking In BUf h disorderly house
uhnll be deemed and considered a disor
derly pe-iwui. or jiprsniis, on.l, upon con
viction thereof, may lio committed to
the county Jail or house of correction."
The Juatk-e i.f holding the drinker ns
well aa the flellur vf contraband 11-iUor
responsible will bp evident to all who
are willing to look at this matter im
partially. It is not prubablo. however, that
either of these siiKWRtud changes In
the It rooks law will be adopted. Until
a majority sentiment shall be In earn
est In a deqlro to o-ji-rect the evils aris
ing from tho trafliu In intoxicants, one
compromise law Is jnobaWy qui'.e as
good as another.
To Curtail the Executive's rowers.
R presentatlve Raker, of New Hamp
shire, finds food In the Nlcarngurtfi affair
for his belief that there ought not, un
der our form of government, to bo a
period of nine months during which
congress cannot be convened unless the
president himself Issue the necessary
proclamation. "It so happens," he tells
the Washington I'ost, "that under our
constitution thie president Is for nine
months In absolute uutocratlc control
of the government. He can commit us
to any policy he pleases, he can outrage
nil our feelings of patriotism, and the
representatives of tho people, duly
elected, are powerless because It does
net suit the purposes of the president
to call congress together."
Under the constitution congress Is to
meet on the first Monday In December,
unless some other day Is fixed by law.
Mr. Baker would change the date by
law to March 4. A new congress
should, he thinks, come In with a new
president. Even in years that arc not
the beginning of a new administration,
tlte congressmen elected In November
ought to take their seats In the March
following. This, however, would only
be a partial reform. The gentleman
from New Hampshire suggests the
adoption of an amendment to the con
stitution authorizing the presiding offi
cers of the two houses to convene them
In session upon the written application
of one-third of tho members. This
would make the legislative branch to
tally Independent of the executive
branch, and, in an emergency like the
present, congress could assemble, no
matter whether it Interfered with the
president's purpose or not. "If," he
says, "we had some such rule In force
now on application for an extra session
of congress to preserve and uphold the
American nation and keep It from be
ing made a laughing stock among the
nations of the earth would be slgne'd
In no time, and the representatives of
the people as well as a president would
have a voice In the public atfalrs."
It Is probable that the need of such
an amendment will not again be felt
during this generation. Only one other
president In all our history, beside Mr.
Cleveland, ever assumed to exercise
practically imperialistic power by sub
ordinating every other branch of the
federal government to his own ridicu
lous whims; and even Andrew Jackson
had a certain saving spark of patriot-
sm which the present executive ap
parently lacks. The suggested change
would perhaps prove a wise precaution;
but we respect that a better plan
would be for tho people to elect men
whose devotion to the best interests of
the country is not a subject of conjec
ture.
"Mildly Insane," "profound egotists,"
and "demngogues" are a few of the
phrases playfully applied by the Phila
delphia Record to those who dissent
from the Cleveland policy of a con
tracted, gold monometallic currency.
But the Record Is complimentary com
pared with Edward A.tklnson, who, in
a letter to tho Chlcngo Record, calls
them "condemned fools," "conspira
tors," "Idiots," "lunatics" and "cranks."
And yeit. these unfortunate citizens
have the constitution of tne United
States nt their back; nre Indorsed by
tho last national platforms of the lead
ing parties, and, until 1873, their policy
of bimetallism was the successful
policy of the government. Is It not
strango that a policy wane enough to
recognize In the constitution, to obey as
law for nearly four-score years, and to
simultaneously Indorse In two national
political platforms should now sud
denly become irrational? We fancy
that the calling o( names will not be
accepted by the public at large In lieu
of argument. .
According to the Washington Post, a
"government, official," name not given.
thinks that "a majority of the people of
the United States do not understand
the Nlcaraguan situation and the course
being pursued wltii regard to It by our
government. They know of the Monroe
doctrine, and have some understanding
of what It Is, but they believe It has been
violated and trampled on and without
knowing the details, are Indignant at
the inaction of the government. If tho
administration had issued a plain state
ment setting forth the actual grounds
of the Monroe doctrine, and showing
how Impossible If. was for the United
States to interfere where ,00 coloniza
tion or conquest of Nicariguan terri
tory was contemplated,, the people of
the country would have seen why the
administration has adopted Its present
course." The United States could have
Interfered upon the sufficient ground
that the English fluff ihaa no buatne8 on
Nlcaraguan soil; and that Its prasence
there is n. .menace to American Interests,
If we had done a llttlo more interfering,
England would have been taught a
valuable lesson and the reputation, of
this government would bo In vastly bet
ter shape.
Representative Stone of Allegheny,
after paying a vlBit to his constitu
ents, told a Washington Interviewer
that he was "surprised at the rapid
growth of the free-silver sentiment in
Pennsylvania." Mr. Stone ought to
know that the effort of this free trade
administration to establish gold mono
metallism wns sure to be followed by
a popular recoil. While Pennsylvania
Republicans do not favor the unlimited
foinage of the silver of the world, there
Is nothing In their platform to indicate
hostility to American sliver, or n dlsln
cllnatlon to protect American silver at
a fair ratio. It Is probably this sent!
ment -which Colonel Stone confuses
with the western sentiment for the
wholesale and IndlscrlmJnnte coinage of
the world's silver. Yet tho two senti
ments are widely different, both In con
ception and In results.
Ex-Senator Blair, of New Hampshire,
thinks "there Is Just one plain, sensible
solution" of the silver question. "Let
congress declare that on July 1, 18!)S,
this country shall begin the free coin
age ,of silver. That will give nil the
world notice. If that should be done
we would have no more Crouble than
we did In resuming specie pay
ment, of which notice was given four
years ahead. The other nations would
fall In line gracefully, for tht-y would
be In a measure compelled to do so. The
Idea of securing International consent
y any other method is. a snare and de
lusion. The world needs silver and the
United States can well afford to take
the Initiative in its rehabilitation."
Mr. islnir needs to be careful or he will
make himself persona non grata at tho
white house.
'In attempting to cross Sfltlfh street,
between Second and Third streets, late
on Friday night, an nged woman was
struck by trolley car No. G02, of the
Electric Traction's Passyunk avenue
line. The car was running at a high
rate of speed, and the people on the
sidewalk expected to Bee the woman In
stantly killed. She was, however, picked
up by the fender and carried at least
three car lengths before the motormnn
could come to a full stop. The woman,
who said she wns 82 years old, but
would not give her name, was unin
jured and was able to walk to her
home." This Item Is taken from the
Philadelphia Record of Sunday. Do
fenders fend? If they do In Philadel
phia, why wouldn't they in Scranton?

Our esteemed contemporary, the Oly-
phant Gazette, catching the spirit of
the times, is moving for a greater Oly
phant, to Include the pYesent popula
tion of that sprightly borough, esti
mated at 0,000; one ward of Blnkely,
with 2,500 Inhabitants; part of Throop
and all of Prlceburg and Wlnton, mak
ing 12,000 population In all. The Idea
Is a progressive one, and would doubt
less work wonders, If carried into exe
cution.
The news comes from Harrlsburg that
there Is good prospect of the passage
of the Collins bill providing that
mayors of third-class cities may be
elected to succeed themselves. Tho
measure is a Just one, and would, if
passed, probably solve many knotty po
litical problems in several cities
throughout the state.
It Is the opinion of thnt astute obser
ver, Major Moses P. Handy, that "It
ttikes a very strong moral constitution
to withstand the malaria which always
prevails at the capital of a state." ' It
Is pleasant to observe that the Lacka
wanna contingent at Harrlsburg re
mains In good health.
TTp to a late hour last night, no

of Senator Voorhecs' opinion on the sli

TILE CURTAIN FALLS.
Over the sorrow and over tho bliss,1'
Over tho teardrop, over tho kiss,
Over tho crlmoe that blotted and blurred.
Over tho wound of the angry word,
Over the deeds In wenkness done,
Over tho battles lost and won,
Now at the eitd of the flying year.
Year that to-morrow will not be here,
Over our freedom, over our thralls.
In tho dark and tho midnight the curtain
falls.
Over our gain and over our loss,
Over our crown and over our cross,
Over the fret of our discontent, ' , .
Over the ill that we never meant,
Over the scars of oar self-denial,
Ovor the strength that conquered trial,
Now In the end of the flying yeaq,
Year that to-morrow will not be hero,
Quietly final tho prompter calls,
Over It swiftly the curtain falls.
... . , '
Over the crowds and the solitudes,
Over our shifting, hurrying moods,
Over the hearths where bright flames
leap.
Over the cribs where the babies sleep,
Over the clamor, over the strife, ., ,
Over the pageantry of life.
Now In the end of the (lying year,
Year that to-morrow will not bo hero.
Swiftly and surely from starry walls,
Silently downward the curtain falls.

THE SOUND MONEY PABTY.
There la Only On Sueh Party in This
Country-What Sound Aloney Means,
From the Reading Times.
There ia no room for question as to the
Republican psrty'B "honorable, distin
guished record as the party or nonest,
safe money." It first made that record In
the trying period of the War of the Re
bellion, when It devised and established a
monotary aystem which was tho wonder
and the admiration or the civilised world.
It has maintained that record constantly
throuRli all the flnanciul vagurlea that at
various porlods since have agitated the
country. It possesaes that record still.
and It will hold fast to It as long as the
party shall exist.
Hut there la nothing Inconsistent with
that record In the principle of bimetal
lism. On the contrary, the Republican
nu-ty, since the question has been rulscd.
hug repeatedly declared. In Its national
platforms, In favor of blmetalliam, de
fined by the Century dictionary as "The
uso of two metuls as money at relative
values set by legislative enactment; the
union of two metals In cliculatlon as
money at a fixed rate. Specllleally, that
system of coinage which recognizes both
colna of silver and coins of gold as legal
tender to any amount, or the concurrent
uso of CbitiH of two metals as a circulating
medium at a fixed ralatlve value,"
Nor Is there any present Indication that
the next lit publican national convention
will fall to runfllrm that declaration. In
fact, there is In the country today but
one Blncle standard gold party, and that
Is the Cleveland wing of the Uomoerecy,
No cnnilldute not even tho Hcpubllciui
nun bo elected president upon such a plat
form next yeur.
The Common Sense View.
From the Wllkcs-Barre Record.
There Is no reason to doubt that tho ma
jority of tho people of both parties favor
gold and silver at a proper ratio, as the
most practical currency for this country
Tho gold monometnlllsts and tho silver
monometalllsts form only a small minor
ity. These extremists have seltlsh con
siderations at stake. Tho men who own
the gold do not wish to Bhare their profits
with tho men who own tho sllvor. The
latter, naturally, want the government
to aid them in disposing of their motal at
a handsome profit. Tho gold men claim
thnt the remonetlzatlon of sliver would
bring ruin and disaster upon the country
The silver men sturdily maintain that a
single standard gold basis places the coun
try nt tho mercy of tho "gold bugs" of
Wull street nnd the bankers of Europe.
Hack of both these contentions lies the
seltlsh desire for gain. Neither the sli
ver monopolist nor the gold monopolist Is
moved so much by patriotism as by a very
patunU ik-slro ta have ,the metujl In
which lit: Is particularly Interested well
cared for by tho government. Between
these two stand tho people of the coun
try, nud between them the people will do
cldo when the proper time arrives.
Only One Single Standard Party.
From tho Reading Times.
It Is needless to say to nny Intelligent
Republican, and most Republ'eans are In
telllgent, thnt the Republican party Is
not, never hns been and Is not likely to bo
a single standard party. The Republican
party, has, since the question hns been
raised, repeatedly declared In its national
platforms In favor of bimetallism, which
the Century dictionary thus defines: "Tho
use of two metals ns money nt relative
values set by legislative enactment; tho
union of two metals In circulation ns
money at a fixed rate. Specifically, that
system of colnngo which recognizes both
coins of silver nnd coins of gold ns legal
tender to nny amount, or the concurrent
use of coins of two metals as a circulating
medium at a fixed relatlvo value." Thero
Is no Indication that the next Republican
national convention will do otherwise than
reaffirm thnt declaration. There Is only
one single standard gold party, and thnt Is
tho Cleveland wing of the Democratic
party,
