KCRANTON, JUNE 17, 1895.
"We ought to realize by this tirao that
mo should not do our work nor moke our
loan) In Europe. Let us plnoo what op
tlona w nave with our own capitalists,
ii nd our orders with our own manufac
turcra, who, in tho past, have been always
abundantly able to meet every need and
demand of tho government and of the
people. "-Goveruor William McKinley,
ut Hartford.
Afaou) Time to Lift the Lid.
There ran ho no reasonable doult
hat the object of the Scranton Traction
company's anxiety to place a double
track on Franklin avtutu xaa to es
tablish the validity of ths Illimitable
Peoples Street Railway charter of ISM.
Had Ithe Scranton Traction company
been successful in this purpos?. It would
have been thenceforward Independent
of councils and of 'the municipality of
Scranton to the extent that It could
seize nnd occupy any s.rect within the
city without so much as a polite "by
your leave." Thus) a property now over
burdened -with debt and writhing- under
ithegreater burden of a r.one'tco scrupu
lous management would have acquired,
for speculative purposes, a new lease
of life, conditioned upon the market
value of the numerous franchises hid
den in the generous phraseology of the
aforesaid chanter.
That this wholesale theft of the
ntre&ts of ithe city of Scranton was de
liberately planned and plotted by the
expert schemers of the Traction com
pany is not denied in any quarter and
had the mayor and his official advisers
not beea equally alert, It might have
been consummated. There is reason to
believe that ithe present managment of
the Traction company, under whose ad
ministration one of the most valuable
street railway properties In the United
Slates has dwindled Into dimensions of
a sickly farce, had been leaning heavily
upon this audacious hope in the expec
tation that that daring artifice would
pull Its declining trolley service out of
Its accumulating difficulties and up on
solid ground. Now that the rights of
the city are in a fair way to a vindi
cator! In the oourts, there Is curiosity
us to whait will be the Traction gang's
next attempted onslaught upon the wel
fare of the city.
Under these circumstances, and ac
tuated by these lofty conceptions of
right. It la not surprising that the pres
ent management of the Traction com
pany should continue to oppose the
public sentiment which demands that
Its Inferior cars shall be equipped with
safety fenders. The sinuous means by
which ordinances aimed at the public
welfare have been put through coun
cils tinder the lash of the Traction
company's superintendent of legisla
tion are only paralleled by the auda
cious measures taken toetlne and evade
public sentiment on this point. The
citizens of Scranton, those of them who
yet have a lingering regard for hon
esty and equity, have been patient tin
der this miserable period of corrupt
manipulation almost long enough. It
Is about time the lid were lifted from
the rottenness which owes its origin
to, Traction emissaries, and that the
pilferers and plunderers end their
tools and abettors were scourged out
of councils and elsewhere, irrespective
of consequences.
As to Sunday Base Ball.
The Tribune is. opposed to Sunday
base ball, for two reasons. In the first
place, ball playing on Sunday is a vio
lation of moral and, In some states,
statutory law. In the second place, It
Is a physical outrage, depriving many
persons of much-needed physical rest.
The athlete Is .not more exempt than Is
the artisan from the necessity of a
weekly day of rest and physical re
cuperation. Nor is It fair to those who
pay to see his skill exhibited on secu
lar days that the professional ball play
r, by being cheated out of his due
est, should play In a tired, listless and
Jaded fashion. ' '. ,
Base ball, properly safeguarded, Is a
clean, exhilarating' and "wholesome out
door pastime,' penefical to players and
t spectators. This fact Is clearly
shown by the "distinguished quality of
the week-day attendance at the East
ern league games In this city. Tho
merchants and professional men who
form the main-stay of the base ball
business In Scranton would not display
an equal Interest In a debased or a de
basing; amusement. Their presence at
a game of ball is a certificate of char
acter for ithe pastime In question.
' It Is therefore a blistering shame that
the Indorsements of these men' should
be to some extent difhonored by the
playing, in some cities, under the East
ern league's sanction, of Sunday games,
This practice, we are glad to say, does
not obtain In Scranton; ibut the Scran
ton club, when away from home, is
sometimes required to observe it, and
this fact Is a 'Continual humiliation.
We hope to see the local management
lift its voice at the next annual meet
ing of the Eastern league In an em
phatio denunciation of Sunday ball
playing; and we can assure it that such
a course would win it niaikod favor
among its Scranton patrons.
The Night Before the Dawn.
Among the notes sounded at the
various commencement exercises
throughout the land, none is more
happily conspicuous than that which
pleads for a recoil from the ramified
materialism which, in recent decades,
has done so much to corrupt and to de
base . the ideals of our people. The
theory that results outweigh causes,
that ends Justify means, that truth and
honor and chivalry and virtue are but
relative terms, coined by men for the
better musklng of their own Ignoble
purposes, 'has been too long abroad in
the land, urn) has worked iby far too
much real mischief. Nordau's black
picture of our age-end degeneracy Is by
no means all exaggeration. It has Its
measure of truth a measure uncom
fortably large.
One of the best repudiations of this
pernicious philosophy that we have re
cently seen occurs in an address lately
delivered by George R. Peck, of Chi
cago, before the graduating class of the
University of Virginia, at Charlottes
ville. We append a brief quotation,
which at least partly conveys his
thought and style:
We have had enough of the tinkling
lutes that give out society verses; more
than enough of the prurient novel and of
vo-cullea "studies in realism." A debased
and debasing literature la an evil glen. It
shows that we ought now to consult the
oracles and take note of the future and
its promises. There are few duties which
now more highly appeal to scholars, and
particularly to young scholars, than the
duty of working for a better literature. If
we have followed the practical over-much.
let us consider thut better view of life
which U Illumined with the things of the
spirit. What means the revival of civic
virtue In all purts of our country? What
causes have brought about these uprisings
in our great cities, which have swept
away In wrathful Indignation the en
trenchments of municipal misrule? Be
lieve me, it is the awakening of dormant
memories; the thought which has come
again of better days and better hopes for
tho republic. It is the assertion of those
lefty aspirations, which, however they
may have drooped, are still alive in all
our people. New Tork and Chicago have
Joined hands in a movement which is in
tensely practical, but which, at the heart
of it, is the old, the sentimental, the un
fashionable Idea, that honor end honesty
and truth are good rules for right living.
Thus It always Is. In good and In evil
times the highest appeal you can ever
make to men is to their moral and spir
itual natures. If our political affairs
seem dishonest and corrupt wait. A
revolution Is always at hand when It is
needed.
It Is a trite but true remark that the
night Is darkest Just before the dawn.
The blackest of the prevalent unrw.t
among men the unrest which is leav
ening theology with thinly-veiled skep
ticism; religion with hypocrisy and a
vain show of forms; literature with
eroticism and vapidity of sentiment;
and art with a silly affectation of possi
ble divorcement from ethics causes
among prescient observers the hope for
a speedy dawning of clearer and
cleaner views of life, its privileges, op
portunttlaW and responsibilities.
Will Stand by Their Party.
The growing disposition of the Re
publican blmetallists of the west to re
main In line with their party, even
should the next national convention
fall to realize, the full measure of their
expectation on the money question, is
unquestionably wise. They are en
titled to present their arguments and
to do their beat to carry the party over
to their point of view; but if they shall
fall in this missionary work, It will
be still of more benefit to them and to
their cause to entrust lta future to Re
publican statesmanship and intelli
gence than to expect satisfactory treat
ment at the hands of the demagogues
and the ranters who have seized upon
the sentiment for free silver for spuri
ous ends of their own,
V'e have no doubt whatever of the
final outcome of the present agitation
for the restoration of the world's sil
ver to Its old-time parity with gold.
That outcome, In our Judgment, is
bound to be successful, because the
need of it Is everywhere vlsfble in the
Instability of values and the inequali
ties - of economic conditions arising
from the recent narrowing of the base
of the world's money to a single metal,
gold. The Republican party may not, a
year hence, rise to lit a entire duty
toward the masses of its membership
in this matter; reforms of all kinds
move slowly, and prejudices are diffi
cult to overcome. But It seems to us
that the very nature of Its composition
Its fairness and its high average of
Intelligence must sooner or later open
Its eyes to the grave dangers Inherent
In gold monometallism, and cause It to
take advanced ground In the ibehalf of
the great producing Interests of the
land.
The ' Republicans of the western
states, wbo had thought this problem
carefully out before many of their
facile eastern critics had got through
the primers of their education ,ln
flnanoe, should, therefore, be willing to
concede time for the masses to reach
an Intelligent : comprehension of the
subject. Ones the need of bimetallism
Is thoroughly comprehended by the
great majority of those plain citizens
of our country who have no axes to
grind, and no Interests to subserve save
the best Interests of the community, we
shall have very little trouble In choos
ing methods to bring bimetallism again
Into effect. A good deal of the viru
lence of the current discussion of this
question In the west probably arises
from the fear which the people of that
section have that Republicans of the
east are In full sympathy with (Mr,
Cleveland's ponderous efforts to rivet
gold monometallism upon the statute
books. Nothing could be further from
the truth. The Republicans of the east
are blmetallists: but they do not yet
perceive that It would be safe or ex
pedient for this country, In the absence
of International assistance, to restore
bimetallism alone.
Very general approval seems to have
been won by the suggestion that the
new county which Senator Quay does
not deBlre to be named after himself
be designated Coxe county, In honor of
the late Eckley B. Coxe. Mr. Coxe, to
be sure, was opposed ito the creation of
tho division In question; but he was
not the man to bear ill will after a fair
and open defeat, and the perpetuation
of his name by the community he did
so much to benefit would, we should
say, be peculiarly graceful and appro
priate.
It is understood that the Pennsylva
nia delegation to the Cleveland league
convention will support Colonel McAl
pin, of New York, for president of the
Republican national league. Colonel
McAlplit Is one of the most popular and
efficient organizers connected with the
league movement; and his selection as
president seems to be foreshadowed.
Scranton, as the pioneer Electric city
In the country, is entitled to the best
street car service going; but Instead of
that, Scranton appears these days to
be getting the worst. How long must
a patient publlo submit to this dls
crepancy?
The "important" news Is specially
telegraphed from Washington to a Chi
cago paper that Tom Piatt has chosen
Senator Allison for presidential honors
next year. We mention this In time to
save the bother of a convention.
We wish ito congratulate our es
teemed contemporary, the Free Press,
upon getting out, at last, one issue
without the telepathic co-operation of
the Hon. Joseph A. Scranton.
It is generally conceded that 1895 will
be the banner year for bicycles, tricy
cles and wheels in the head.
POLITICAL COSSIP.
According to the Philadelphia Inquirer,
a "great deal of misinformation has been
printed with reference to the chairman
ship of the Republican state committee.
The talk of what this, that or the other
county Intends to do regarding candidates
for the place is simply a waste of breath.
The counties have nothing to do with it.
Under the present rules of the Republican
party the state chairman Is selected by
the candidates Immediately after the con
vention has nominated them. The ques
tion of whether it. Frank Qilkeson will
succeed himself bb state chairman will de
pend upon the candidates named by the
convention, which Is to meet In Harrls
burg in August, It Is a fact, however,
that there has been some dissatisfaction
regarding the present chairman. It Is al
leged that Mr. Uilkeson has run counter to
the friends of the organization in several
cases, that he opposed the passage of the
Penrose resolution, and that he put him
self in opposition to a majority of the
stnutors und representatives on the ques
tion of apportionment. This, however,
does not necessarily mean that he Is to
relinquish his position."
II II II
Apropos of the recently .re-launched
presidential boom of Senator Cushman K.
Davis, of Minnesota, the Philadelphia
Times says: "If Minnesota and Senator
Davis are both for Davis for president
the Minnesota candidate may have to be
taken into account. When the late Mr.
Debs was holding the transportation busi
ness of a continent by the throat Senator
Davis was the first public man to find his
voice and say in good plain English what
he thought of such high-handed proceed
ings. The American people admire a, man
who can say what he thinks when the oc
casion demands speech. Tho ability and
willingness to defend the constitution and
laws displayed by Senator Davis would
prove admirable qualities dn a president,
however they might affect his candidacy
for the position, and the Republicans
could go further and faro worse than to
nominate Senator Davis."
II II II
If we may believe current Indianapolis
dispatches, Indiana will be for Harrison
unanimously next year, the old Gresham
feud having died out. It is further an
nounced that If, by any chance. It should
happen that Harrison is not a candidate In
1896, Indiana will undoubtedly show her
hand plainly for McKinley, and especially
as against Reed. The leaders In that
state, It Is said, have not forgotten that
when ho was requested to come to In
diana and make speeches there In 1892,
Reed treated the request with contempt,
and on one occasion turned on his heel In
the face of a messenger and remarked,
sneerlngly: "I don't owe Ben Harrison
anything." In contrast to this treatment,
Is cited the willing acceptance, by Mc
Kinley, of a request to speak in the
Hoosler state.
II II II
Governor McKinley will be at the Re
publican National league convention. He
will also keep his engagement In Kansas.
Chairman F. 11. Morris received a letter
from the governor last Thursday morning,
giving the reason why he had to be In
Kansas on June 20. He said, however, he
could leave Kansas after his speech so rb
to arrive in Cleveland on Friday before
the adjournment of the session of the con
vention that day.
II II II
Pittsburg will send a fair army of lively
Republicans to the national convention of
Republican League clubs. Congressman
John Dalzell will head the delegation from
Allegheny county. The Young Men's Re
publican Tariff club have arranged an ex
cursion to take about 2J0 Republicans to
Cleveland.

So far as the eastern newspapers arc
concerned, Flttsburg's candidacy for the
honor of entertaining the next nation
Republican convention appears to meet
with general approval. It Is high time
that the Keystone state In the Republican
areh got some recognition from the party
at large.
According to newspaper reports Chris
Magee Is in bad humor politically. But

searched for it elnee the beginning, but
not a man of them has ever eaught sight
of It, or got on the track of It, or found out
where to look for It. We believe that all
of them have come to the conclusion that
nothing can ever be known of It. Yet If it
exists at Vassar, and any young woman
there ean get her eye upon it, she may be
able to tell the world something that will
holp it to got out of the mire.
A Contrast.
From the Chicago Times-Herald.
Though la was cheeky for the Indiana
State Liquor league to offer ex-President
Harrison a retaining fee of $10,000 to fight
the Nicholson temperance law, nobody is
surprised that he refused it. Senator
Voorhees Is said to have taken the fee and
undertaken the Job.
WISE AND OTHERWISE.
Gresham reminiscences still occupy the
attention of the press. At the time of
President Arthur's death, writes Eugene
Field In the Chicago Record, a number of
Chicago people went to New York to at
tend the funaral, and among this number
were Judge Gresham and Robert T. Lin
coin. Upon the Journey eastward several
of the party fell to discussing a certain
questionable measure which was at that
time before the Illinois legislature at
Springfield, and In the course of the (lis
ousslon surprise and regret were expressed
by one or another member of the party
that Lawyer of Chicago had gone to
Springfield and Joined the lobby in ad
vocacy of the questionable measure re
ferred to. Thereupon there ensued an
argument as to the propriety of an attor
ney's serving a client without regard to
the Justice or the dishonesty of that
client's cause. Mr. Lincoln took up the
cudgel quite briefly in defense of the prop.
osltlon that a lawyer, so long as he was
paid for his services, was Justified In ad
vocating an unrighteous cause; with ref
erence to the particular affair at Spring.
field Mr. Lincoln saw no wrong In the part
played by the attorney therein, since the
attorney represented the Interests ef a
corporation for pay and was wholly Justl
fled in so doing, even though the cause he
advocated was prejudicial to the Interests
of the public. Judge Gresham sat In the
seat just ahead of the party engaged In
this discussion, and it was observed that
he grew restless under the argument made
by Lincoln. Finally he turned about In
his seat and, facing Lincoln, he said
sternly: "Young man, I knew your father
well and I loved him dearly. He would
never have expressed the sentiments I
have just heard you expresB, and I am
shocked to know that It is Abraham Lin
coln's son who has advocated that which,
If generally approved and practiced, would
speedily result In the demoralization of
public and private morals. Whatever
yoir sentiments upon this subject may be
I advise you, when tempted hereafter to
utter them, to remember that you are
Abraham Lincoln's son and keep silent.'
Mr. Lincoln made no answer to this re
proof, but the scene was one which none
of the many others who witnessed it has
ever forgotten.

THE WEATHER:
The man whose rule It is to take
The weather as it comes,
Without a word of fuss, finds life
A pudding full of plums.
He doesn't care how low or high
The mercury has got,
And even when it's mid-July,
He hardly knows it's hot.
But he who when tho mercury
Goes up to eighty-five
Makes such a fuss that everyone
Regrets that he's alive.
Thus makes himself unhappler
Than he was meant to be.
And feels the heat at seventy-two
As If 'twere ninety-three.
So take a warning from those lines
It's good advice, though free
And when the hot days really come
Don't watch the mercury.
Just go about your dally tasks
Regardless of the heat,
And you will find that every day
Your life will grow more sweet.

The impression that members of congress
do not, as a rule, possess an Intimate ac
quaintance with the Holy Scriptures Is
confirmed by this story by Walter Well
man: Ex-Congressman Lamb, of Indi
ana, law partner of Senator Voorhees, was
a chum, while they were both members
of congress, of John S. Wise, of Virginia.
One day they had a dispute on a matter
of religion which finally got so hot that
Wise shut Lamb off with the remark:
"Oh, go along, John. You don't know
anything about religion, any way. I'll
bet you a bottle of wine that you can't
repeat the Lord's prayer." "Done," said
Lamb, "and we'll leave it to General
Wheeler here." "Well, what Is It?" said
Wise. "Now I lay me down to sleep," be
gan Lamb, but Wise shut him off at the
end of the second line. "You're right,"
said he, "I owe you the bottle. You did
go to Sunday school after alL"
