The Growth of Our Cities.
. Some ado has lately been made In the
newspapers because a state census now
beins taken In Mlrinesota seems to In
dicate a recession In urbun growth and
a corresponding acrleratlon In the Ue
Vflopmer.t of rural population. It has
been claimed by a number of the
writers that this single "straw" be
tokens a coming gale that will pres
ently reverse the contemporary rush of
tiae country lad to ithe crowded city an&
thereby solve the hard problem of what
to do to cleanse the accumulating Im
purities arising from the massing of
population In unwholesome centers.
. Before considering whether there Is
yet apparent Justification for this be
lief, it will be prudent to ascertain the
exact dimensions of the past and pres
ent urban growth. For tihls purpose we
conault the eleventh census compen
dium, and discover that in 1790, when
the United States had 3,929,214 popula
tion, only 131.472 or 3.35 per cent, lived
In cities of more than 10,000 inhabitants.
A decade - later, the percentage had
grown to 3.97; in 1310 and also In 1S20,
it was 4.93; by 1S30 It had jumped to
6.72; in 1S40 it was 8.52 and In the decade
from 1840 to 1830 it grew from 8.52 to
12.49. In 1S60, out of 31,443.321 Inhabi
tants, 6,072,2:6, or 18.13 per cent, lived in
cities; in 1870, the percentage had be
come 20.93; in 18S0 it grew to 22.57 and in
1890, of the 62,622,250 persons computed
as forming the population of our coun
try, 18.2S4.385, or 29.20 per cent, were
massed Inside urban limits, and con
sequent! exposed to the heavy drains
and strains inseparable from such ag
gregation. We are temipted, at this point, not
ivtthtandlng its apparent Irrevelancy,
to quote a remark lately made by Dr.
Frank Reilly, of the Chicago Board of
Health, who, in a paper relating to the
exceedingly rapid multiplication of
nervous diseases in that cHy, said:
"The bicycle is getting In Its work in
this respect, and scorching is bound to
increase the death rate to a remarkable
extent. There is not flhe least doubt
that nervous diseases are already being
Influenced by speedy, work on the
wheels. Scorching on a bicycle Is about
the same as the strain upon oarsmen In
a 'boat race. Then there Is a tremen
dous nervous strain on the riders who
go through the crowded district. They
ire compelled to dodge wagons,, pedes
trians and cable cars. Their eyes end
ears must be alert, and they are sub
jected to a constant nervous tension
which they little realize. ' As compared
with the decade from 1851 to I860 the
decade from 1885 to 1894 shows an in
crease In the death rate from nervous
diseases of nine per cent, a year."
All things considered, there is abun
dant provocation for a change in the
human" tide that now; annually sweeps
hundreds and thousands of well-to-do
fa:mers' sons and daughters from
heallfctful homes in ithe country Into
polluted city life and nerve-wracking
tattles for existence. Bat We fear that
the phenomenon noted in Minnesota Is
merely temporary. - It probably Is only
a consequence of Democrat! hard times
which, having left 'hundreds of urban
workmen penniless amid overtaxed
charities and exhausted relief agencies,
perforce sends them; for a time, back
into the country, where at least, there
is food and pure air. A time will come
when the cities will not accommodate
the thousands Who rush into them,
and then the recession will be steady
:nd continuous; but that period in the
wing of the" pendulum of human des
tiny lias obviously not yet been reaches)
In the United States of America.
, The selection of William S. Tomp
kins, of West Plttston, as chairman of
the Luserne county Republican com
mute to clear case of the right man
fcelnf put in the right place. More
than thaX, It is a politic recognition of
the young Republicanism which Is fast
bringing vMltty and courage to the
party's battlefield,
The Doom of the Trolley,
Rcnt rUHora to Washington tiave
dosfbUees noticed with pleasure the ab
sence of the disagreeable oaocerou
and unnecessary overhead trolley iwise,
and the presence, upon all electric or
calbke ears, at neat and sightly fenders
that fend. Ttie result ta that Wash
ington has today on of the finest sys
tem of street transit In existence, and
a profitable one, as well. ,

serve as the slot through which the
electrical-current is communicated. In
Washington, the conduit occupies the
center of the road and the slot Is sim
ilar to that .used on cable lines. The
experiment in Washington is new, as
yet, and its success cannot be regarded
as -beyond question until a - practical
test shall have demonstrated- Its effec
tiveness In winter as well as summer;
but the sustained efficiency of the Buda
Pesth method, in all conditions of
weather, justifies the nope that the day
of the trolley In our fair capital city
has permanently receded into history.
The latest development in the crusade
against the trolley consists of a New
York project to do away not only with
overhead wires but also with conduits.
The current, if this enterprise succeed,
is to be brought to the surface at points
a few feets apart and is to be taken up
by a long .strip of copper beneuth the
car. The length of the strip Is such
that wherever the ear may be the strip
will always be In contact with two
"live" points and tin us will receive a
continuous current.
Upon the whole, therefore, It cannot
be truthfully claimed that the) overhead
trolley Is any lunger a necessity In any
city; and when we consider the obvious
disadvantages of Its multiplication in
the busy streets of growing cilice, the
propriety of urging its gradual aboli
tion becomes at once apparent. Should
the councils of tieraflton hereafter be
called upon to grant new franchises to
electric 'treet railways, It would be a
wdse move to exact aa one of the condi
tions of an affirmative vote that the
deadly overhead wire should go.

Just ihow a convention comprising
only 289 delegates can simultaneously
contribute from 75 to 80 majority for
both Quay and Gllkeson is out of the
cjuestions for mathematicians to
wrestle with. Yet there Is "good au
thority" for saying it will "surely do
it."
Government by Syndicates.
The assertion of a treasury oltlelal
that no mater 'how much gold shall be
shipped out of the country between thl
day and next winter, Uhe government's
gold reserve will not suffer, for the
reason that ' "Hhe syndicate cannot
afford to allow another panic," does not
expand the bosom of the Pittsburg Times
with patriotic pride. On the contrary.
It moves our contemporary to this out
burst of satire:
One of the first nations of the world,
with unsurpassed, resources, materiul.
moral, intellectual, may rest in confidence
because the syndicate cannot afford to
allow another panic. Suppose It could:
that Its intureets would be advanced by
one. Title natron should be thankful that Its
welfare coincides with that of the syndi
oaite. There'.n Ts its safety. What do
those who think shout public affairs at all,
thli.k of that? The possibilities of pros
perity In this country are without parallel,
but the millions are confessedly at the
mercy of the few, American and foreign,
who compose the syndicate, a syndicate
such as never existed in any land before
under circumstances comparably similar.
A few years ago such a fact as this would
have occasioned amazement and indigna
tion universal. But a few years afro the
government hal revenues, it had Indus
tries, it had gold in abundance because
these Industries commanded it, and did not
dream of the necessity of having to ko on
Its marrow bones to a few men for It.
Our esteemed contemporary should
not lose courage. It doubtless recol
lects that the people have already sub
stituted a Republican for a Democratic
congress because of actions by the lat
ter equal In stupidity. t.o the bond syn
dicate deal. And just as soon as they
shall get the chance, they will elect a
Republican president, who will choose
as his Republican secretary of the treas
ury a man having practical compre
hension of fhe national finances, and
qualified to promote the nation's mone
tary welfare without purchasing' the
dear favor of the Morgans, the Bel
monts and the Rothschilds.
Our Republican friends in Wllkes
Barre shoufd not be too sure that their
delegation to Harrltfburg, a week from
today, will "surpass the Willard co
horts." We haven't yet met a Republi
can in Scranton who doesn't Intend to
be spectator of the expected fun.
Crime and Its Punishment.
One of 'ttie most noteworthy articles
lately added to the discussion of the
complex problem of crime and its pre
vention is that which Professor Caesar
Lombroso, the eminent Italian crimin
ologist and mentor of Max Nordau,
contributes to the September number of
the Forum magazine. lit nut only nar
rates the history of the comparatively
new science which treats crime as a
disease, to be cured. If possible, rather
than to be avenged, but It also presents
thoughts concerning the rational pun
Mimcivt of criminals that are radically
at variance from the customary puni
tive methods practiced in the United
States.
""The criminal code," Professor Lom
broso contends, "has been conceived
through the fltudy of crime as an ab
straction. It must be modified by
knowledge of the criminal. There
should be In It no dream of theological
expiations, which man has-no right to
Impose, but it should aim solely at the
defense of society. The greatest crimi
nal anomaly even Insanity should not
be considered as an extenuating cir
cumstance. . Even lunatics should be
arrested In order to protect society, es
pecially the morally Insane, who are a
great peril, and the masked epileptics.
In the punishment of crime the tend
enc of Its authors should be consid
ered. If ithe author is born criminal,
he must be confined for life, though the
crime Itself is not great. On the other
hand, a crime, committed by an honest
man impelled by some strong motive,
should be punished with much in
dulgence, especially political and re
ligious crimes, which often only antici
pate by some centuries the thought of
the people. In our time, when hours
are years and years are centuries, a
political idea which appears ito be dan
gerous and even criminal through Its
excessive novelty, after some time may
appear practical and just. Such for
Instance were the ideas of Christ and
of loither, and at the present time the
tdeas of the equality of all classes and
of the participation of workmen in
profits. . There was a time when it
would 'have been a crime to maintain
these ideas. Now they pertain to a pos
sible reform. ' ' ' ' '
"Then It must be understood that for
these crimes .there should be no irrevoc
able penalty like death. The penalty
should be revocable (When the novelty
has passed away and the Idea it no
longer crttnlnat Vtoe reread the hand
of the law must fall heavily upon the
recidivists, putting aside all sentimen
tality, especially if they have accom
plices. A man who Is not contented to
steal himself, but enlists others, Is more
dangerous, and must be treated with
out pity. Justice should undertake to
compensate the vlctlrns of crime el the
expense of the criminal, making Tilm
work in order to pay the Indemnity if
he 14 not rich. It 4s a blunder also,
when society has lost through the
crime, to compel it to lose still more for
the support of the criminal. lAll efforts
at reform Bhould be concentrated upon
occasional criminals. They are the
only ones for whom much can be done.
They should be removed from all op
portunity by procuring them employ
ment and protecting them from the
mischievous Influence of alcohol, not
only by prohibitory laws and fines
which are generally a dead letter, but
by giving them mental amusement
which will satisfy that cerebral excite
ment thalt Is gratified by akxmol. Above
all, the tendency to crime which ap
pears in infancy must not be allowed
to continue in youth and become
habitual."
This reads like a common sense mes
sage; yet how differently are criminals
treated In this country! The theft of a
loaf of bread, inspired by hunger, un
der our laws ranks by the side of a de
liberate betrayal of trust on the part
of some pampered employe with every
comfort that might tend to banlnh
temptation. And If the betrayal
amount to the hundred thousands, the
peculator becomes a respected Napo
leon of finance, while the crazed thief
of a bite to eat Is "sent up," under our
humane system, for from thirty days
to a balf-dosen years. Our overcrowd
ed Jails, far from being hives of whole
some Industry or schools of r?form, are
centers of Idleness and Institutions for
the swl'ft propagation of vice. Society
Is taxed, first, for the apprehension and
arrest of the criminal; next, for his
trial and conviction, and lnstly for th
putting of .him Into an atmosphere
where he not only remains an expense,
but learns to become an Increased peril
to the community. Nothing Is more
certain, as most Jails are today con
ducted, than that the sureBt way to in
crease crime is to multiply Imprison
meirts. 'Maybe the American people will one
day perceive the error of their course
In this direction. But we are not san
guine. When Senator Porter "stood In" with
Quay, he had no warmer eulogist than
Quay's organ, tlhe Philadelphia In
quirer. Now ihe has to sue It for libel,
In order to proteot himself from Its
abus'?. But then, of course, things are
dlfferent'now.
The Pittsburg Dispatch's allusion to
the Quay following as the "better ele
ment In politics" captures the medal as
the most comical Joke of the season.
Fancy Joe Scranton; et. al., In a pro
cession of political "saints"!
The Philadelphia Times figures out a
majority for Quay by giving him eight
votes In .Luzerne and Lackawanna
counties. On such a basis, It might as
well predict Quay's unanimous election.
The present contest will be distin
guished in history as the one in which
a large proportion of the arguments on
the anti-administration side consisted
of abuse and misrepresentation.
Success is always best attested by
calumny. The minority organs In this
county which are abusing Judge WI1
lard's friends unconsciously pay tribute
to them.
Tf Serator Quay shall demonstrate
his nb.'ity to verify one of Colonel Mc
Clure's political predictions there will
be renewed confidence in an early mll-l.-nlum.
The report that a man had been dis
covered who had never devised a plan
for the reorganization of the anthra
cite coal trade to probably a hoax.
Senator Quay and his friends, with
check books In hand, will today try to
reform Philadelphia, though it takes
$100,000.
There isn't much doubt that the man
who succeeds in politics is invariably
a gentleman end a sdholair.
In the gospel of politics according to
Pennsylvania's (St. Matthew, whatever
Quay wants Is right.

COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
The Milk la the Cocosnut.
Philadelphia Press: "It ia plain that Mr.
Quuy can have no hope of a majority In
the convention without a far larger vote
from Philadelphia than any intelligent,
unprejudiced and rational aurvey of the
fluid would glvo him. This explains the
-xoefllve nnd Inordinate claims which the
Quay faction have made as to this city.
It ds not possible for them to elect any
such number of delegates In Philadelphia.
They haven't the votes. The only way
m which they could make any pretence
of getting them Is to manufacture a lot
of spurious contests in a number of wards
where they have no real strength and then
to put these contestants upon a fictitious
roll In place of the regularly elected and
regularly accredited delegates. This unde
niable truth Illuminates both the extrava
Knt and unreasonable claims as to Phil
adelphia and the extraordinary and un
precedented movement to assemble the
state commiitttee. It lets the light In upon
their whole desperate and revolutionary
scheme. They get up a botch of bogus
contests; they defy all rules and prece
dents and call .their state committee tools
together; they trample on the rightful au
thority of the chairman created and em
powered by the highest party tribunal;
they make up a false roll of their own;
they enroll these bogus contestants In
stead of the regular delegates; and they
attempt to organise and control the con
vention on this fraudulent roll and through
these violent and anairchtal proceedings.
That Is the gmrne. That explains the un
due and unwarranted claims for Phila
delphia. That explains the resort to the
servile state committee. The whole scheme
betrays weakness and defeat. It Is not
the course of the conscious strength nnd
right to undertake Irregular and lawless
methods. But the game will not work.
The convention WiH be organised and con
ducted In the regular, lawful and orderly
way. If Benator Quay and his partisans
have a rlshtful malority, will be recog
nised end accepted. If Governor Hast
ings and his friends have a rightful ma
jority, as we hel'eve they wtll have, M
must be end will be respected in the same
way, snd no fraudulent claims or violent
Usurpation or bulkloilng methods will be
suffered to overturn it and defeat the
popular will.". ,

A LESSON TO THE BAR.
From the Philadelphia Times.
One of the grievous evils that has al
most Insensibly crept Into the methods
of the bur In our Mute. Is the violent nnd
'Insulting abuse of witnesses In the trial
of cases ami the licentious ubuso of both
witnesses and litigants In arguments be
fore the Jury. True, this criticism does
not apply to the bur irenerally, but the
few cases in whU'h the methods of the
shyster are adopted by lawyers make
them more conspicuous and attract pub
lic attention' while ordinary trials do not.
This abuse has been steadily growing in
some of the courts of our slate, and es
pecially In the city of 1'hiladelph'a, where
self-resprctlng lawyers have at times con
sidered the quftioii of halting It by for
mal condemnation from the prominent
members of tihe profession.
It will gratify the irrcat majority of the
lawyers of both city nrl stnte, who sin
cerely desire to maintain the diirnity of
their profession, to learn that the Sunremo
court by a decision filed by Justice areen.
May 30, ISitii, !m the case of Holden vs.
Pennsylvania Railroad company, unani
mously decided that the abuse and insult
of witnesses bv counsel, or the abuse of
w'tnesses or imparts, .in arguments to
the iury, furnish U'Knl ground for an ex
ception on the record to be reviewed by
tho Supreme court. In this case the
Supreme court not only sustained the ex
ception as based on pood legal grounds
but reversed the Judgment of the court
below distinctly on the grounds therein
stated.
This unanimous decision of the Supreme
court of Pennsylvania has evidently been
mude thus emiihntic by the growing ten
dency to liccnt'ou.s abuse of the powers of
counsel (n the triiil of CB3es, nnd in Ihe
reckless abuse of the prerogatives of Jur
ors In tr'als where nersonal nrejtullce often
ln'senfibly plays its part. In nil the rec
ords of our indicia! tribunal of last resort
thee evils have never before been grap
pled with heroic purpose.

About you clings a faded, old-world air.

As though the Macaronis thronged the

Yet I take heart; for Love, the coatless

Since in good sooth his negligence Is

As something scandalous anent his own.
And so he whispers, Eyes were bright and

And faithful shepherds still shall babble
