capacity attempts to monkey w ith it.
Getting to Be a Big City.
In all the large cities excepting Chi
cago, it Is the custom to estimate the
population from year to year by multi
plying tjie number of names In the city
directory by 3',. The Chicago multi
plier, we believe. Is only 3, although we
do not know why a different rule should
--Wlfll-t..V rM.-.ncrr thin t .1 1 . . .. m
TheappUcatlonof the former formula to
Scranton gives this city, according to
. the census Just completed by the Taylor
City Directory company, a population ex
ceedlng 123.000. not Including Dunmore
and other adjoining places really a part
of Scranton, which would add probably
17,000 more. Upon the Chicago basis,
Scranton, proper, has about 105,000, or,
with the near suburbs Included, from
115,000 to 120,(JOO. A conservative esti
mate of the actual population within
the boundaries of the city of Scranton
today would be 110,000; and the chances
are that the real figure are beyond
rather than within this estimate.
Proof of a marvelous recent growth,
the times considered, may.be had by
the simple process of driving through
out the city, and noting the rapid multi
plication of stores and homes visible In
all directions. Every recent addition to
the city Is today a hive of house-building
Industry; yet despite this vast move
ment of artisans and professional men
Into suburban homes, the demand for
residences in the central portions of the
city far exceeds the supply, and the
spectacle of a vacant home or store Is
famously uncommon. In a period of
comparative commercial stagnation
such a condition ca be accounted for
only on the theory that Scranton's su
perior advantages are achieving their
natural consequences in the form of a
largely accelerated immigration of
''ixYttow, however, that the business sky
ma vi(a.iicuia, uuufjaitiuuiui 1 niiii.1; liter
rreao iron ana steei inuusiries 01 me
l.ty ere beginning to feel the new pulse
of commercial revival and are communi
cating It to their worklngmen In the
form of Increased wages, this growth
ought to assume doubln proportions.
Every sign la auspicious for a genuine
tioom of the legitimate and conservative
type. . Our material resources, already
ecogniiied as Incomparable In this sec
Ion, are being dally supplemented by
ntellectual and artistic resources
known only to large cities; and at the
present pace it looks as If It would not
be long before the word "metropolitan"
as applied to Baranton would be In all
essential senses deserved.
The Common Sense View.
: Robert P. Porter, In the Cleveland
World, gets right down to the root of
the subject when he says:
There Is a distinction between Mahomet
going to the mountain and the mountain
going to Mahomet. The Republican party
Is not going over to the handful of admin
istration Democrats who are kicking up
such & dust all over the country, about
"honest money," "sound currency", and
similar meaningless phrases. The Repub
lican party has always favored a sound
monetary system, based alike upon sil
ver and gold. It has no apologies to offer
for its' record and no points to ask on
"honest money" from the Columbus of the
"sound currency" craze, Grover Cleveland,
nor from his mercurial secretary of the
. treasury, Mr. Carlisle, In short, the Re
publican party will be found this fait and
next at the old stand doing the nation's
business expeditiously on sound princi
ples. On the tariff question It will be pro
tective In all things American, free- trade
In nothing. On the currency it will advo
cate a trinity of gold, silver and green
backs, on a Basis that will make one dol
lur Just as good as any other. Whatever
muy happen, the "Republican party will
never permit a dollar with the super
scription of Uncle Sam to pass at home or
abroad for loss than Its face value. The
financial world here and In Kurope knows
this. .
This expresses the truth fairly, fully
and powerfully. It Is a good thing to
push along.
No nix'"fr. St Dut'es.
If Chairman Cllkeson Is to be a can
didate for re-election, against so for
midable an nntagonUt as Senator
Quay, lit Is fair to assume that he will
not .embarrass either his own candi
dacy, Governor Hastings, or the pros
pects of the nominees of next August's
convention by retaining his other .posl
tion as commissioner of banking. The
latter position, for manifest reasons,
is incompatible with the chairmanship
of the executive committee In charge of
a political campaign-
The commissioner of banking, by Ills
official duties, Is bought lll,u close and
Influential contact with a lurge inw
age of the bunks of the commonwealth
and should neither usk nor ri-celve pol
itical or other favors from these bunks.
As the head of the department charged
with the Inspection of state banking in
stltutlons, and as the one olllclal stand
Ing between depositors ami tlu possl
bllity of the loss, in wholo or part, of
their deposits, It Is essential that th?
commissioner of banking of Pennsyl
vania shall not be mixed up In imUtles,
nor remain In another position the du
ties of whlcli he might not lu able lo
discharge with strict fidelity to the du
ties already Indicated. Xo man can
serve two masters. The people expect
that Judge Gilksson will confine lils
services ito looking after the condition
of the state banks of the common
wealth, or else retire In favor of some
one who will. This expectation Is rea
sonable and Just, both to Judge Uilke
son, and to Governor Hastings, the
lustre of whose brilliant administra
tion coulj hardly fall to be affected
adversely should any dereliction or
compromising circumstance arise in
the department of bank supervision. In
consequence of a mixing of duties.
These remarks, which are made in no
unfriendly spirit, are suggested by
Judge Gllkeson's announcement that
he Is a candidate for re-election as state
chairman. We assume that this deci
sion has been reached after a careful
weighing of all the aspects of th3 situ
ation, and that, therefore, it indicates
his speedy resignation of the commis-
sionership of banking. As state chair
man. Judge Gllkeson has done excel
lent service for the party, which no
doubt he could repeat if occasion should
offer.
The Passing of Trilby.
It ought ito prove encouraging news
to a tired public that the Trilby mania.
lately so prevalent in the land, is now
rapidly declining. The June Bookman,
in Its wlepartment showing- rales of
books during the month, gives returns
from twenty-six cities where, until re
cently, Iu Maurler's novel had led
everything in popularity; and today
'Trilby" is in prominent demand In six
cities only Chicago and Philadelphia,
where U ranks fourth in sale-ability;
Cincinnati and Portland, Ore., where
It ranks third; Kamas City, where it
ranks sixth, and Los Angeles, Cal.,
where it ranks first. Its place has been
very largely taken by a much more ar
tistic and wholesome book, Ian Mac
laren's "Bonnie Brier Bush," which Is
in noteworthy demand in sixteen of the
twenty-six cities represented, und the
popularity of which is steadily Increas
ing.
It Is possible thait promised represent
ations of "Trilby" on the provincial
stage next season may cause a fitful re
newal of public interest in Du Maurler's
book, but the chances are that It has
seen Its day and will soon be most
unanimously forgotten. Its phenomenal
vogua has never yet been explained,
and probably tifcver will be. We could
readily understand how such a book
might be welcomed with cordiality by
the upper circles oPBohernla, wince It Is
an admirable mirroring of the some
what exaggerated unconvenitionalltles
of the Latin quarter, with fetching
touehlngs-off of characters and expe
riences to be encountered by all who
frequent the centers of nrt-study in
Kuropeati capitals. Bult how ito account
for Us popularity, albeit It almost cru
elly ephemeral, among the masses of
English-reading people, to whom Us In
cessant chatter, It profuse Malllclnrnn,
Us obvious exaggeration and notorious
Insincerity, must have proved anything
but satisfactory, la beyond us. The
phenomenon we must admit, since it Is
everwhclmlngly In evidence; but the
cause we must write down- as one of
those sociological mysteries which eter
nity alone can If It will make clear.
The prospect of a replacement of the
ebbing Du Maurler fad with a Mac
laren fad Is agreeable, since It la appar
ently ordained thait mankind must pro
gress along the pathway of Its fads.
Du Maurler, with all Ills fine drollery,
his volatile Parisian humor and his dis
position to laugh at life, in at the bot
tom)' (something of a pessimist. The
reaction always sets in after the cur
tain falls on his comedy, and leaves the
spectator depressed- and out of sorts.
Not so, however, with Maclaren. With
Mm life Is no pretty, trivial thing to be
made the target of sclntlltant Jests. It
Is a grim and serious battle, in which
laughter and ven fooling have their
proper place, but not a paramount one.
Without assuming to preach, he never
theless draws his acene4 In such a man
ner as somehow to fill the beholder, in
the receptivity of his awakened emo
tions, with Inspiration and high reso
lution. A half-hour of Maclaren can
not perhaps be better described than
by likening it to a siesta among the
bines, where tonic air and heal in b- odors
unite to make for health and happl-
ness. The public. If It con sustain its
present preference, will deserve con
graitulaltlon. 'Joseph II. Manlcy, of Augusta, Mo.,
pauses in London long enough to tell
an Interviewer that he Is "highly
pleased" with Mr. Olney'fl promotion.
This, we believe, brings the number of
highly pleased persons up to two.
Proprietor ICohlsaat, of the Chicago
Times-Herald, will become uupopular
among his contemporaries unless he
has a care. This thing of draining the
best talent In the business Into one
sanctum has a monopolistic look.
While the . esteemed Philadelphia
Press Is venting tts seemly Indigna
tion ait Senator Quay's "fool friends,"
we trust it is certain there are none of
these undesirable accessories on the
opposite side.
Mr. Cleveland, It Is said, thinks his
successor will be Major MoKlnley,
This la one thought of Mr. Cleveland's
which appears to be worth considering.
1'ntil Governor Hustings passes upon
thu Quay county bill, Wllkes-liarreans
seem to be undecided whether to grasp
the olive branch or the gun.
- - -
If our esteemed friend, lion. AVilllum
r.arnfo, wants anything In the way of
political preferment from Scrantonlans,
now Is his time to apply.
Sera tor Quay would ease a big strain
on the guess-box If he would unfold
that promised explanation about two
months prior to Aug. L'S.
There are a good many good reasons
why a state commissioner of banking
should not simultaneously be a state
chairman.
Inasmuch as the only malcontents
made by the Cleveland league conven
tion are Democrats, we can let that
pass.
For Pennsylvania legislators with
bills yet at stake, silence Just now is
worth Its weight in greenbacks.
Scranton is without question the best
summer resort.
POLITICAL GOSSIP.
Notwithstanding the fact that Senator
Quay refused to help It defeat Quay coun
ty, the Pottsvllle Miner' Journal is out
for the Junior senator for state chairman,
it says Air. Quay fought for the new
county openly and above board, whll? the
Martln-.Magee forces, after promising to
help defeat It, flunked. The Journal adds:
"Our principal reasons for supporting Mr.
Quay for chairman are altogether founded
on principle. He represents the advanced
Ideas of the Republican party; he Is being
struck at by the very men he made; lie
would make a better leader than nny other
man In -the party, especially Mr. Oilkesoii;
and the party always needs a good leader;
If he gets to be state chairman he will be
national chairman and no other Pennsyl
vanlan has any chance for that great dis
tinction: with Mr. Quay us state chairman
the Republicans will be successful, no
matter what kind of a money plank goes
into the party platform, and with .Mr.
Quay us national chairman Pennsylvania
and Schuylkill county will b- of some Im
portance at Washington during the next
administration, which Is sure to be Repub
lican." II li II
Says the Harrisburg Patriot: "Efforts
hi.ve been made to draw ex-Lieutenant
Uovernor Watres Into the fight by the an
nouncement that he will be Quay's candi
date for temporary chairman of the con
vention. Mr. Watres refuses to take sides.
He Is looking ahead to 'VI when he expects
to contest with Senator Cumeron for his
sat 111 the- United States senate. The ex-lli-utenant
governor passed through Har
ilsbnrg last Saturday with Uovernor Hast
ings and his party from Kbenaburg, where
he was one of the witnesses In the libel
suit against City Solicitor O'Connor, cf
Johnstown. To a representative of the
Patriot Mr. Watres said he was not a can
didate for state chairman or any other of
fice, except for United States senator. 11
bellevcs llio contest for this place Will be
so bitter that he will Ik.- taken up as a
compromise candidate and elected. Mr,
Watres has a strong following through the
mate and will be able to make a strong
light against Cameron."
II II II
It Is said that the best David Martin
can fiirure on, in Philadelphia,-Is 40 out of
the city's To state delegates. Magee will
do well If he can get 20 out of Allebbeny's
'SI. It takes 14r to nominate; and the only
counties In which Quay will not liavo tho
best end of a fighting chance at present
neem to be Bucks, with 4 delegates; Cen
ter, with 2; Franklin, with .1; 1-banon,
with 3; Incoming, with S; Montgomery,
with 7; Northampton, with 4; Schuylkill,
with 6. und York, with C. These comities,
added to the combine's strength In Phila
delphia and Allegheny, give the Cllkeson
Hide only 97 votes, or4S less than a woiklng
majority. As It looks to me. Quay will
capture at least as many of these H7 di lc
K(.tes as I lie opposition will get of the dele
gates In llift other Interior counties. If
Uovernor Hunting is wise, from a polMlcal
standpoint, lie will not tuke a hand In tho
llljht against Quay." Thus spake a friend
and ronfidunte of the Beaver leader within
Tlio Tribune's hearing recently,
II II II
The Philadelphia Record says It Is the
consensus of opinion In th City of Broth
erly love that there Is no posltlvo assur
ance that. Governor Hastings will oppose
Henutor Quay, and there are those who
think tho governor will wisely nialntntn a
neutrul position. This, It Is also believed,
Mayor Warwick will do, us both the
mayor and tho governor have four years
before them In which to declare their pref
erences and It Is believed t hat they are not
prepared to commit themselves at this
early Btage. With the governor and the
mayor neutral Jt Is not thought that Mar
tin and Magee could put up a fight that
would amount to anything, especially with
such Quay leaders in tho state as Senator
Fruit, Lieutenant Governor Lyon, ox
f.liMitenant Governor Watres, Senator
Kennedy, Representative Lytic, Senator
McCurrell, Senator Andrews, Auditor Gen
eral Myliri, and In Philadelphia, Benutors
Penrose, Thomas, Grady, Becker and
Smith and ex-Magistrate Durham.
II II II
There Is no doubt, Bays Ihe Patriot, but
that a majority of the Judges of the new
Superior court, If nominated by tho con
vention, will vote for Bank Commissioner
Gllkeson. The appointments will be an
nounced this week simultaneous with the
governor's formal approval of the bill.
The appointees will be Judge John J.
Wlekham, of Beaver; ex-Judge J. Howard
Heeder, of Kaston; George B, Orlady, of
Huntingdon; J. Hay Brown, of Lancaster;
H. N. Wlllard, of Bcranton; ex-Governor
James A. Beaver, of Bellefonte, and Henry
J. McCarthy, of Philadelphia, the latter a
Democrat. With the single exception of
Judge Wlekham, the Republican ap
pointees any expected to support Chairman
Gllkeson. There is some doubt as to Mr.
Brown's acceptance.
II II II
'American Politics" is the title of a new
periodical, which will present each month
complete in a olngle number some Impor
tant study of live political Issues. It is the
aim-of the publishers, Charles H. Kerr &
Co., 175 Monroe street, Chicago, to make
the general tenor of the periodical, when
considered as a whole, entirely non-parti
san, though each number will necessarily
be written by an author who has a definite
position to maintain. The first number,
now ready, Is "Flat Stiver, Its Ruinous
Effects Shown In History," by Robert J,
Vlckers, the noted historian. It will con
tain in convenient pocket form, well In
dexed, a summary of the actual experi
ences of all countries which have experi
mented with the flat principle in thotr
co.nago. The second number, now In
press, will be entitled, "Money: Gold, Sil
ver or Bimetallism," and will be from the
pen of Mllvllle V. Landon, A. M., bettar
known to fame as Ell Perkins.
II l-l II
Just before he left Philadelphia for Hor
rlsburg Senator Quay Is reported to have
remarked that in th last few days his
eyes have been opened very wide In regard
to some matters, so much so, that he was
more than surprised to learn that men
whom he trusted had not been true to him
He feels confident of victory and as a
parting shot, he added thut he "did not
think It would b a very long time before
Governor Hastings would be glud to call
him Into a Jlttlw conference, no matter
Just what the governor might think at the
present time."
The Philadelphia Inquirer unreservedly
classes Governor Hastings umung the op
pouents of Soimtor Qnuy, but says the lul
ter has counted noses carefully enough to
va nil nt the ututement that he Will win,
hands down,
II II II
It Is now Admitted thut the Clearfield
primaries of Saturday went ugfllnst Quay.
The senator says his friends were caught
napping; but he Intimates that the offense
will not bo repeated, this trip.
