The Farce Is Ended.
The conclusion of the Inquiry Into
the Robinson charges against Police
men Davis and Block leaven the case
hi favor of the defendants stronger than
ever. It was shown by last evening'
testimony, not only that thre of the
accusing witnesses have Ionsr been and
are now persons whose character would
not be sufficient to lend weight to any
charge which they might choose
make, but also that their depositions
were sought subsequent to the utter
a nee of the original charge and secured
under the promise that their names
would be kept secret from the public,
In the case of the witness Young, no
testimony was offered tending In any
manner to reflect upon Lieutenant
Davis, who emerges from the Investiga'
tlon absolutely unstained; while in re
latlon to Patrolman Block the evident
is so lllmsy that the only point to it,
admitting it to b literally true, Is that
the officer talked too much to fellow
not worth talking to.
ine coiiapse or tnis foolish move
ment to smirch the character of the
police department and Incidentally to
reflect upon the present city adminls
tration, will not be without exemplary
value If it shall teach those who would
publicly censure public servants to be
sure of their ground before beginning
the arraignment. The worthless word
of spiteful malefactors should be ac
cepted with caution and weighed care
fully before being taken as the proper
basis for an attack upon men whose
reputation- for faithfulness In official
position and for Integrity in private
life Is deserving of serious considers
tlon. Condemnation is unpleasant
enough when fully deserved; It is ln-
famous-when unjust and untrue.

, An Uprising Against Extortion.
When the street railways of Phlla
delphta were recently merged Into one
corporation known as the Union Trac
tlon company.the directors of that com
pany, feeling that they were secure
from competition, promptly raised the
fare from 5 cents to 8 and shut down on
free transfers. This was done in spite
of the fact that the consolidation in
volved economies in management, with
out any Increase In operating expenses,
It was done too, in face of the circum
stance that the employes of that com
panyits motormen and conductors-
are paid smaller wages than in many
other cities; and regardless of the ad
dlt'-mal fact that the volume of street
ear travel In Philadelphia Is larger in
proportion to the city's population than
in any other large city of the United
States. In other words, It was simply
a plain, bold and naked extortion, the
burden of which fell most heavily upon
the city's industrial population, which
in nearly every instance has to depend
upon the street cars for transit between
homes and workshops. . , ' .
On Thursday evening, in the Phila
delphia Academy of Music, the largest
audience room in the city, public senti
ment expressed Its opinion of this action
by means of one of the largest mass
meetings ever held . In Pennsylvania.
The vast theater was crowded to its
fullest capacity, and many of the most
prominent cttttena of - the city were
present and spoke in denunciation of
the outrage. Among them were such
men as John Field, ex-postmaster;
Thomas Martindalc, ex-Governor Pat
tlson, Charles Emory Smith and Sen
ator Penrose. Resolutions were adopted
requesting the directors of the Union
Traction company to recede from their
unfair position, . and Intimating; that
failure to do ao might cause tfteif fran
chises to be bought and their railway
lines to be operated by the city, pre
sumably under condemnation proceed
ings. Thrt action Is overwhelmingly
tatlAafaat fta dMMKIIn lilaaai - S la
evident tkat the Union Traction com
Pany will hare to ftvewsv or breast an
adverse tide which will aweep It from
Its strongholds as chaff Is swept away
by angry waters. -
An interesting feature of the meeting
in the Academy of Music was the ap
plause elicited by Senator Penrose's
strong plea for the organization of a
company to equip Philadelphia with
elevated railroads. The senator pledged
himself to work in the next legislature
for the enactment of a bill chartering
such a company; as well as for a bill
requiring street railway companies to
provide shelter for their motormen. who
In Philadelphia, as in Seranton, are
forced to stand in an exposed place
which Involves extreme physical hard
ship. From an outside standpoint It
would seem as If an elevated railway
system In Philadelphia would be a de
cldedly advantageous and profitable
Investment. The houses in that city
are In the main only two stories in
height, so that the windows of the up
per rooms would be below the level of
rft-vated tracks and consequently noi
so much Injured by this system of rapid
transit as are the properties In Chicago
and New York. That elevated trains
would prove Infinitely more desirable
to travelers than the stuffy, slow anil
miserably furnished surface cars In
Philadelphia to-day admits of no ques
tlon. and it la to be hoped, in the inter
est of those who occasionally visit Phil
adelphla as well as In behalf of Its per
manent residents, that Senator Pen
rose's Idea may yet prevail.
The fight between the Traction cor
poratlon and the people of Philadelphia
is of Indirect interest to every urban
resident In the United States, because
Its outcome may affect the policy of
street railway companies In other
places as well. The question of trnn
uit is one of increasing importance in
municipal affairs, and in its solution
the people should not be slow to Insist
uiion a proper observance of their
rights. .
The Democratic papers are trying to
explain that big purchase of English
steel rails by asserting that it was the
action of the American steel rail trust
In raising prlees which gave the British
a chance to compete. The Democratic
papers seem to think that American
steel rail .mills ought to be content
to adant themselves permanently to
the Democratic standard and do busi
ness at a loss.
cared to do anything, ia that line that If
Injurious to, us would not necessarily
prove injurious to themselves." There,
you see. the whole thins was dupoaed of.
Talk about negro domination In any
southern state today la sheer nonseiue.
Tha negroes themselves are not asking to
dominate things. That cry Is dead for all
time. Tn man woo trie to raise H nest
year wil simply maica hlmaelt ridiculous.'
The failure of the same cry in Mary
land, where It was worked with even
greater persistence and audacity
than In Kentucky, would seem to
bear out Mr. Yerkes' contention that It
has lost its potency. Such a result
would certainly prove gratifying news
to every friend of honesty and foe of
sham In politics. The negro under the
law is entitled to his clvlo rights; but
there Is no statute law which can give
Ignorance the supremacy over Intelli
gence; and when the Southern whites
cry out that they fear to see the black
man clothed with his constitutional
privilege they simply arraign tneir own
Intelligence and proclaim a lack of con
fidence in their own ability to compete
with the blacks in a fair and open field.
It Is simple justice to Lieutenant John
Davis to say that no other member of
the Scran ton police force bears a better
character, has a better record as a
faithful, conscientious, courteous and
obliging public servant and more large
ly enjoys the confidence and the esteem
of tho public he serves. We wish we
could say as much for his recent ac
cusers.
The Philadelphia Press, Times and
Record, et. al., are requested to note
that Judge P. P. Smith has duly quali
fied es a member of the bench of the
Superior court, and is now ready for
such business as may come before him.
They may now figure up how much good
their recent misrepresentation did.

composition are hla powers of keen-sighted
organlzat.on and bulldog perseverance.
He doesn't know when he la beaten, and
he will fight again and again for .little
things that other men would let slip rather
than have trouble concerning them."
TO THE NEW JHEMUER.
Tho conviction of MeroU for first de
gree murder was undoubtedly Justified
by tho evidence, but it will not do to
say much about it until we shall first
have heard from the Board of Par
dons.
Let There Be No Trifling.
The opinion of close friends of Speak
er Reed, as expressed through the
Washington papers, is that the public
has misinterpreted his plea for con
servative action by this congress. It
is said by these men that the speaker
has no desire to see tho Republican
majority evade Its duty in the matter
of so adjusting the national revenues
that the federal government may be
carried on without resort to bond sales;
but that he does not wish to encourage
the spirit' of partisan bumptiousness
inseparable from a large political ma
Jorlty newly called to duties of legis
lation. This spirit, he thinks, should be
curbed at the outset, so that whatever
legislation may come before congress
may be considered In a dignified and
business-like manner, and not treated
as the pretext for political wind-Jam
ming.
It Is to be hoped from every stand
point that this representation of the
situation Is tho correct one. The Re
publican party cannot afford to let
partisan considerations of any kind
deter it from the performance of its
whole duty. While It Is undoubtedly
true that a general overhauling of the
tariff system at this time would, by
reason df the peculiar condition of
business interests, which have' not yet
fully recovered from the disastrous
agitation Of two years ago, be Injudic
ious and inadvisable, the fact is equally
distinct that the public will nol ap
prove of a policy of total inaction. The
revenues are utterly Inadequate. This
Is certain. The present laws upon which
that revenue is based are Insufficient
to provide an Income equal to the gov'
ernment's necessary current expenses,
The public Is In no mood to tolerate
additional bond sales. It elected a Re
publican majority for the purpose of
repairing the deficit and if that ma
jority wants to retain the confidence
of its creators it will do exactly what
it was elected to do, in a sober, sensible
and workmanlike manner.
If the Republicans organize the senate
they should be sure of having sufficient
power to carry Republican measures
through. Responsibility should not be
assumed without tho strength that
should go with it.
An Ugly Cry Exploded
Little has been said in the Northern
papers about the chairman of the Ken
tucky Republican committee, who led
Candidate Bradley to such a notable
victory; but if southern opinion Is true,
John W. Yerkes, of Danville, Ky., is
likely to prove a coming man in national
politics.' It is conceded that Mr. Yerkes
could for the asking have the United
States aenatorshlp to succeed Black
burn, but he has modestly refused to be
a candidate, and in pther ways he Is
exhibiting a level head. For Instance),
while in Washington- recently, Mr.
Yerkes 'was Interviewed by the Star
concerning tho Kentucky fight, and
among the things he said we note the
following
Our responsibilities are great, and we
accept them. We must give the state good
government better than it has had of late
and we shall strive to do that. And our
comfort Is that the men we have put In
office are In every way cspable of redeem
ing every promise we have made In their
name. Now, as to next year," continued
Mr. rerkes. "We have to consider the
fact that this year we had the cordial co
operation of many Democrats. But as
they came to us as much because of our
attitude on national Issues as on local
Issues, why should they not remain with

most solely upon that cry during the last
days of the tight. But a little circum
stance that took place In my office a few
dsts before 'election relieved ray anxiety
on that score. Several of my Democratic
friends had come in to discuss the can
