' "The American people, from tradition
and interest, FAVOK BIMETALLISM, and
the Republican party demands the use of
BOTH GOLD AND SI1.VI U AS STANDARD

der such provisions, to bo determined by
legislation, as will secure tho mainten
ance of tho parity of values of tho two
metals, sn that tho purchasing and debt

silver, gold or paper, shall be at all times

Juno 7, 1892.
Carlisle's riemphis Speech.
The widespread Interest manifested
by all classes of people In the financial
luestlon Is a sufficient excuse for the
publication, elsewhere In this Issue, of
he complete text of Secretary Carlisle's
ipeecli, delivered yesterJay before the
sound money convention fit Memphis,
Tenn. The Tribune was one of the four
Pennsylvania papers which printed Mr.
. Carlisle's Covington speech without
abridgement; and the diff.-rcr-.t ground
traversed by the Mem; hii deliverance,
as well as the demands of journalistic
enterprise, Justify similar treatment of
It.
The gist of this second utterance of
Mr. Cleveland's official representative
Is embodied In its concluding para
graph, where, In general terms, he de
clares his belief that the federal gov
ernment should cease 'to exercise super
vision over the banking business. In
order that there may be no misconcep
tion, we repeat the secretary's own
language;
The I'nltod States should go entirely
out of the I nnkintr business by the with
drawal of its arbitrary ami comptisory
issues of notes and afforrl the people an
opportunity to supply their own currency
based upon their own means and credit,
thus enabling every community to util
ize its own resources when necessary and
adjust the circulation from time to time
to the actual demands of loRltlmate com
merce. In what way this shall be accom
pllshed Is a question which has already
encased the serious attention of the peo
pis and public authorities, and it will
no doubt continue to be investigated
and discussed until a plan is formulated
which. If not perfect, will at least have
the merit of being a preat Improvement
upon the existing system. In tho menn
time our highest duty Is to preserve the
present standard of vulue, maintain the
purity of the two metals, and keep all
the money In circulation amon? the peo
ple, whether it be gold and silver coins,
of paper based upon them, equal In pur
chasing power, so that no discrimination
will or can be made between those who
receive silver or paper and those who re
celve gold.
This is no doubt meant as a compro
mlse for the benefit of the Southern
Democrats and Populists who desire to
return to the old system of wild-cat
state banks. It Is also a direct encour
agement of the nearly abandoned sub'
treasury warehouse scheme. Both
these projects are nominally designed
to "afford the people an ample oppor
tunity to supply their own currency
based upon their own means and
credit," especially upon their credit.
Indeed, If the federal government Is to
surrender Its present control of the
banking business, and restrict Its
money function simply to the unavoid
able duty of coining gold bullion upon
the demand of the bullion owners, or
of selling bonds cut a sacrifice In ex
change for foreign gold, many persons
will at once wonder whether the pres
ent secretary of the treasury Is not at
heart as deep-dyed an Inflationist as are
the western silver extremists against
whom he so learnedly argues.
As between his vaguely suggested so
lution, and an equitable coinage of pro
tected American silver, most persons,
we should think, would ba Inclined to
choose the latter.
The Hatter of Apportionment.
If the congressional reapportionment
bill reported to the senate be a 'fair
sample of what the present legislature
would tie likely to do If called upon to
renew their efforts at reapportionment,
then the commonwealth may well be
rid of the whole business. But If It will
undertake the task 'fairly and conser-
. vatlvely, then the public will be glad
to yield Its approval.
It Is a question whether the veto of
Governor Pattlson has not absolved the
present legislature from any responsi
bility In the matter of reapportionment.
The constitutional behest has already
been obeyed so far as the predecessor
of this legislature Itself had power to
, act. ' If there has been any dereliction,
It has very largely been the fault of
Robert E. Pattlson, and upon him has
quickly fallen the punishment of politi
cal oblivion.
We must, therefore, Confess that the
apparent collapse of the various ap
portionment bills at Harrlsburg has
been received with nothing approach-
. Ins a tempest of public disappointment.
The average citizen has gone about his
routine duties blissfully Indifferent and
perceptibly undismayed. If the const!'
tutlun is being "disregarded," the viola
tion is purely technical. After all Is
said, no great harm will be done if the
various districts shall remain as they
are until after the next census.
For a Board of Public Works.
The Chittenden ordinance creating a
board of public works, to comprise the
mayor, the city engineer, the building
inspector, the street commissioner, and
one councilman from each branch of
councils, and vesting in this board the
power to supervise and direct the ex
penditure of all moneys relating to
street and bridge repairs, sewers, public
buildings and lights Is obviously
sensible proposition, in the direct line of
progress and economy. It embodies
the best thought of some of the closest
students of the problem of Improved
city government, and Its enactment
would In many ways redound to the
welfare of the city.
The unpleasant memory of former
scrambles before the estimates commit
tee. In which log-rolling and personal
or sectional prejudice or favoritism
often decide vital questions of revenue
disbursement arises as a potent argu
ment In favor of some method assuring
a careful scrutiny of estimates, and an
approximately Intelligent and Impartial
award of recommendations. That un
der the present order of things municl
pal In Scranton these desirable results
are not likely soon to be obtained 13 a
proposition patent to everybody. The
proposed Innovation would offer fair
prospects of efficiency and economy,
and Is, therefore, one to which councils
should be willing to give a trial.
That Tax on Beer.
At a time when even those high In
authority In this state are driven by
the scarcity of available revenues to
recommend the cutting of the school
appropriations, In order that the state'B
asylums and hospitals may not be crip
pled, It is satisfactory to note the suc
cess In the house of the movement to
Impose a special emergency tax of 24
cents per barrel on all beer brewed
within the state. It is possible that
this tax would not be needed could the
state officials be Induced to utilize for
current expenses some of the Idle money
now held as a reserve fund by desig
nated banks. But In the absence of any
apparent desire to do this sensible
thing, the next best recourse Is unques
tionably a tax on beer.
It Is not probable that the proposed
tax, which amounts to less than one
cent per gallon, will seriously affect
the Individual consumer of beer. It
might slightly diminish the amounts
consigned to purchasers who carry
pitchers and palls. Instead of getting
a quart or more for five cents, these
patrons of the beer saloon might have
to be content with a pint for the same
price. But this reduction in Quantity
would probably have a beneficial effect
upon the morals of the community.
since It would tend to lessen the dis
turbances that arise during convivial
parties which get their liquid ammuni
tion by the pailful. In hardly any other
direction would the tax reach the con
sumer. It would come for the greater
part directly out of 'the pockets of the
brewers themselves, and it would be a
very modest compensation Indeed for
the trouble and expense Inflicted In the
commonwealth by the "speak easles,"
which the brewers set up and sustain.
It will be time enough to discuss the
equity of the contemplated tax when
the class of persons upon -whom It
would fall can show to the satisfaction
of the public that the business In which
they are engaged docs not Involve the
state In a far greater proportion of ex
pense for law maintenance than Is true
of any other single Industry in the
commonwealth. So long as the traffic
In Intoxicants creates most of the busl
ies3 of the criminal courts and of the
hospitals and asylums. It would seem
to be entirely just that that traffic
should sustain 'the heaviest burden of
state taxation.
We fear that the esteemed Pittsburg
Commercial-Gazette Is becoming a
trifle unjust. It speaks of the present
legislature's record 03 "disreputable"
and accuses the Republican majority
at Harrlsburg of "sowing the wind"
which will Booner or later cause the
party at large to "reap the whirlwind."
If this kind of talk were true, It would
be excusable; but as a matter of fact
the present legislature Is making upon
the whole quite as good a record as can
be expected of a law-making body
whose members are almost all of one
party faith; and promiscuous abuse Is
as underserved as It usually is Ineffec
tive. Why should Republicans try with
out reason to befoul their own nest?
If the Scranton Traction company
wishes to retain any portion of the
favor of this community. It should lose
no more time In equipping Its cars with
first class safety fenders, and then put
on sufficient cars to do the business It
was created to do. The packing of hu
manity Into our street cars at certain
hours of the day and night has become
an abuse not tp be much longer tol
erated, particularly when It can be
almost wholly obviated by a little en
terprise on the Traction company's
part. - . -
During a dearth of more exciting
news, It Is evidently the purpose of the
Now .York papers to manufacture a
Harrison boom, whether the ex-presl-dent
wants one or not. Well, there
could be many worse booms.
Common council has exhibited dis
cretion In advancing the fender ordin
ance to third reading. This Is a sub
ject concerning which the people have
very decided opinions, and with refer-
ence to which they are not In a mood
to tolerate further evasion, equlvoca
tlon or jugglery. :
One of the pleasant duties which will
probably devolvo upon the next presl
dent will be to restore gallant Admiral
Meade to active service and thus give
the' He to Grover Cleveland's churlish
reprimand.
While the base ball public In this
city Is noted for Its patience and Its
charity, we take this early occasion to
suggest to Colonel Barnle's braves that
the losing habit is a bad one to, en
courage.
The Philadelphia Itecord appears t
take great pleasure In poking sarcasm
at Admiral Meade, who is a brave sol
dler, a considerate gentleman and
patriot. There is no accounting for
tastes.
The report that Colonel" Dan Lamont
contemplates an early retirement from
Mr. Cleveland's discredited cabinet
would, If confirmed, prove a compll
ment to his discernment
Now that Governor Morton has been
authentically assured that he has not
satisfied Thomas C. Piatt, there will, of
course, be nothing left for him to do
except to resign.
Some of the base ball games lately
plaved In the Eastern league would
seem to Indicate that even robUBt pro
fesslonals are at times subject to that
tired feeling.
The Wllkes-Barre base ball club
would confer a favor upon Manager
Barno's pets by notifying them in ad
vance whenever It intends to lose.
Now that the apportionment burden
has been lifted from ita shoulders, the
legislature will have less' excuse than
ever for shirking road reform.
The bear movement on the Scranton
stock board having failed to connect,
why should It not be succeeded by a
lusty bull boom?
The proposed senatorial investigation
of Philadelphia must be thorough. The
people will stand no shenannlgan.
Our Hazleton friends might now try
to see If there would be any better luck
In a Martin county.
WISE AM) OTHERWISE.
While rjubllc attention is being centered
iimn Hib silver auestlon. some iucib pre
oontel In n Washington letter 'n- iho Chi
cago Herald will possess interest Uncle
Sum has In the treasury at Washington
and at the sub-treasuries a grand total of
$518,000,000 in silver. Seventeen silver dol
lars weigh a pound. A million stiver col
lars would weigh thirty tons. Eight sll-
-er dollars nlaced on a table, rim to rim,
will reach a foot. A million dollars would
make a white streak more than 23, miles.
If all of Uncle Sam's daddy dollurs wore
thus placed, they would reach nearly 13,-
000 miles, and would cover all the space
between the rails on a railway line clear
acresa the state of Iowa, a distance of 3T.0
miles. The weight of all Uncle Sam's sll
ver is 16,441) tons. If it were loaded into
railway cars, 40.C0O pounds to the car,
there would be 8:2 ear-loads. This would
make twenty trains of forty-one cars
each, and these trains, with their locomo
tives, would have an aggregate length or
six miles. The coined dollars are packed
In boxes containing $2,000 each. It Is about
all a man con do to carry otl one or tnese
boxes. Supposed It were desired to move
all of Uncle Sam's silver by man power ut
the same time, there would, at this rate,
bo needed 274,000 men. Giving each man
five feet of room, they would make a sin
gle file procession more than 2.V) miles
long. Twenty-seven states and territories
of the union have not so many men as this
within their borders. If ull this silver
were coined and stored away loose, It
would take a man, counting at the raite of
100 a minute for ten hours each day and
Ix days each week, Just thirty years to
finish the Job.
COULDN'T UNDERSTAND:
An elderly man knocked the ashes from
his corncob and said with a deliberation
befitting his years:
"Some of us old fellows may be a little
behind the times, but we're nearer th
mark than we used to be. I remember when
the steam flro engine was Introduced In
Portland. I was present at the prelim
Inary trial and remarked to one of my
neighbors:
" 'Don't you think that's a pretty good
contrivance for putting out a lire?'
" 'Yes,' said he, 'it does the work better
than a handtub, but what I can't under
stand Is why they boil the wter before
squirting It on the fire." " Lwlston Jour
nal.
There is a Justice of tVe peace In a little
town nenr Buffalo wh is turning the bi
cycle crazo to great personal profit. A
wheelman tells John Smith, of tho Ex
press, that "the town has an ordinance
forbidding bicycle riding on the sidewalks,
A good many wheelmen go that way, so
what does this justice do but scoop out a
hole and mnke a great big mud-puddlo
clear across the street right In front of his
office. Of course when a wheelman comes
along, rather than rldo through the mud,
he turns upon the sidewalk. That's what
the Justice Is waiting for. He has a con
stable on the watch, and the two rush out
and nab the cycler. I was caught in the
snare last week. Though I protested I
only Intended to keep on the walk till I had
passed the mud, it was of no avail. I wns
fined $5 and had to pay It. I got a chance
to look at his book when he was recording
my fine, and there was a record of some
twenty wheelmen who had been served tho
same way that day, and it was still early
In the afternoon. It made me mad, and I
began abusing tho old fellow for having
such a mud-puddlo in the street. 'Why
don't you fill It up?' I asked, 'If you want
wheelmen to keep In the road?' He grinned
In a most exasperating manner and an
swered without so much as a blush:
' 'Spose we're goln to destroy 'such a
source of revenue as that mud-puddle is?
I guess not. John,' turning to the con
stable 'you better take the hose and
soften It up a little bit, ready for the next
sucker.' "
Politics In Qulncy, III., Is getting ani
mated : at least we infer as much from the
Herald's remark concerning a contempo
rary, It says:, "The Jacobinical Journalist
who is the prlmlgonlouB pater of prulnose
and pessimistic platforms of prlmerlan
portent is submitting his Quixotic lucu
brations to the'dlfferent aldermanic candi
dates. Especially does he ask for In
dorsement on his Inane and Insane propo
sition that all municipal servants down to
pound master be chosen by popular vote.
One candidate calmly told his profusely
bristled emissary to go to hades."

the case of an elderly or feoblo person, It
may be fastened in place by silver wires

a freshly extracted tooth is covered with
a delicate membrane called the "perice

assists the wlshed-for combining of the
tissues. Unless tho grinder Is directly
transferred, the vitality of this membrane
must bo artificially presorved. One way of
doing it is to graft the tooth temporarily
Into tho comb of a cock, that part of the
fowl being well fed with blood, as may be
seen from Its redness. When wanted for
use It is cut out. Ordinarily the patient
is obliged to wait for a while until the
dentist has a suitable tooth freshly ex
tracted, unless he chooses to hire some
body to sacrifice one.

A SLOW
RECOVERY.
When a mun has had an extraordinary severe spell of sickness he usually rc.
covers slowly. It seems as though the same principle applies to the weather. A
winter of almost unprecedented severity softens into baliny spring with exaspera
ting reluctance. Here it is the middle of May and hardly enough sunshine to start
the sap in the trees, let alone the blood in people's veins. The only thing we can do
IS lO
START THINGS THUSLY:
