In these busy modern days the pass lngr of a new milestone In the progress of the years carries with It a suggrs- tiveness hitherto unfelt. A twelve, month. of this period of the world's de- velopnient Is more than equal, In the volume and diversification of the events for which It stands, to a decade at the present century's birth, or to a century five or six hundred years ago. There Is no newness In the thought, yet this one occasion gives It perhaps a new signif icance, that we are children of an electric age of an age that glories in fast and furious speed, In giant under. takings, in audacious speculations. Our engineers scale1 altitudes and conquer chasms that two generations ago would have been deemed Impregnable; our mechanicians harness the forces of the earth and of the air to new and marvel ous combinations of human ingenuity and skill; and our Inventors without hesitation or abashment go eagerly to their task of revolutionizing the uni verse two and three times a day. Most of this ceaseless activity Is by many people quietly taken for granted. The majority is fallen Into the rut of ex pecting these things and of ceasing to take note of them. It requires, among the most of us, a pretty big achievement to pique our dulled and sated curiosity and to stimulate our languid interest. A Teskla once and an Killson twice or thrice have. In the world of electricity, challenged our admiration; but in the natural sciences we have ceased to feel surprise at any discovery or any theory; in the arts we are dimly conscious of a host of workers with no projecting sin gle figure;, and In the realm of philoso phy and religion not even the cry of heresy suffices any longer to Invest a preacher or a teacher with more than transient Interest. The fact, as Nor dau has stated It, is that we are so rapid and so mulltfarlous in our industries and our achievements that the senses are being blurred and numbed by the strain; and If It is not degeneracy which gives to the activities of our day their nether side of pain, doubt and hope lessness It Is certainly some similar her itage of the "pace that kills." We are not, however, viewing the out look with anything like despair. The student of history does not need to be told that nations and civilizations have their cycles, now one of sated weariness, and again one of tranquility and rest. Already from out the babel of our fin de slecle overanxiousness there Is borne the note of a quieter philosophy. The disposition to overdo Is likely to give way, perchance sooner than we know, to the saner and happier disposition imply to do. The upbuilding, In our les and towns, of public libraries and Institutes; the missionary work of instantly traveling University Ex- lecturer; the entry of the church social activities of its young but some of the symptoms thflft at -the coming of a period BO' vfihall De more thought than wlily. nnerYVrn nf llf nnd leas Immpp. ir. t w providho immediate routine of BIX now .io A twines aYV tor this new year s It A i00"" forethought which goes dav be?""". entals. is embodied in th. queY "heX,.!n0"eybe.,t ... -- r exiK" Jlnated to the chief purposes- L BUbori fern?" tney De auxiuauL,,, charkj upbuilding of no who has i Prst Ina: which Bayard is not inev.apon wtt run afoul of tne wuir.lnes.

' With what grace could Mr, Bayard, after this deliverance, enter with confidence the presence of Lord Salisbury and lay before that wily old diplomat business of Importance con cerning the United States? Could not the English premier turn Mr. Uayard's approach Into on Immediate jest by re minding him of the badness of the na tion ho was serving and by commlser. atlng him upon the kind of government with which that nation was afllicted? It seems to us that there never was a clearer case of self-achieved disqimllfl cation for an important tnivt than is presented in the case of Anibassndor Hnynrcl. following his recent speeches, Whilo It is true that at the time he spoke, there seemed to be no appear ance of trouble between his government and the government of her majesty. It is equally true that the ttltuation to day is radically different. There now exists between the two nations the most serious trouble, a trouble everywhere conceded to Involve within It the germ of possible war. In such a situation, Mr. Bayard stands by his own net ut terly discredited. He does not com mand the confidence of his own coun trymen, and In the ludicrous light of his present dilemma he certainly cannot hope for sympathy from England. As an ambassador he is without one of the requisites that make ambnssndors valu able; and If the president does not pos sess sullicient discernment to perceive the necessity of replacing him, congress Itself should tuke the national dignity Into Its own keeping so far as it can do this under the constitution. It Is well to remark on the very first day of IK'JG that TheTrlbune, this event ful year, will maintain and, In fact surpass its old habit of printing the best newspaper In Northeastern Pensyl- vanla; and It will be especially enter prising in Its presentation of the news of the presidential campaign. Begin tite new year rightly by subscribing for the best dally paper. The Railway Problem. In the course of a recent speech in Detroit Mayor I'lngree said: There Is no ciucstion In the minds of men familiar with general conditions but that transportation levies too great a tux unoii producer. The economists of the eomi try point out thut In the lust few years labor and the products of labor have fallen in value l(i to 17 per cent., while transpor tilt Ion has not (alien 2 per cent. This in itself U enouKh to attract the serious lit tentlon of lei;iHlattires to the. Question of anineiai prices grunted by tnoMe bodies and charged by corporations. Jlut further proof ot the gravity of the question may ie louitu in the. following: facts which show the enormous profits growing out of railway transportation. In Australia you can ride a distance of 1.U00 miles across country for Jij.50 first class, while work men can ride six miles for 2 cents, twelve miles for 4 cents, thirty miles for 1(1 cents. and railroad men receive from 25 to SO iter cent, more wages for eluht hours of labor than they are paid In this country for ten hours. In Victoria, where these rates prevail, the net income from tho roads Is Biilllelent to pay all the federal tuxes. in Hungary, where tho roads are state owned, you can ride six miles for 1 cent. and since the roads were bought by the government the men's wages have doubled. lielglum tells tho sume story fares and freight rates cut down one-half and waires doubled. Yet the roads pay a yearly reve nue to tho government of M.MXMIUO. In Germany you can ride four miles for 1 cent on the government owned lines. Vet wanes are over 125 per cent. hlKher thnn they were wnen tne corporations owned them, nnd during the last ten years tho net profits have increased 41 per cent. Kast yeur the roads paid the German government u net profit of fci.i.W'UwO. If our government owned tne railroads we could bo to San Francisco from lloston for $10. Here is the proof: The United States pays tho railroads not quite i-T.! to transport a load ed postal car from lloston to San Fran cisco. A ipasseniter ear will carry fifty passengers, which, at $10 each, would b t.j00, or a clear profit of $225 tier car. ami this, too. after paying 5'i per cent, on tho cost, oi me roaus. These figures are sufficiently start ling Xo warrant examination. In every country mentioned except Australia It Is to be noted that Mayor Tingree com pares tlie lowest rates of fares for third- class travel in localities having double and treble our population to the square mile with the first-class rates charged in the United States for a service more luxurious many times over than Is the best service afforded on the railway lines of continental Europe. This makes a stiff contrast, no doubt, but it is not quite a fair one. Equally unfair Is his comparison of postal willi passen ger ratees. Whenever parties of fifty men want to start, two and three times a day, from Boston to San Francisco, as do the postal cars, it Is probable that they con negotiate for rates that will be very little higher than the rates paid by Uncle Sam. Until then, the fact must be taken Into account that travel between the coasts Is light and Irregu lar, and that it costs nearly, as much to haul an empty train across the conti nent as) to haul a full one. In regard to Australia we must confess that we are in the dark; but if it has been found possible to give the equivalent of our American passenger service in Austra lia at a rate of less than one-third of a cent per mile and return a profit on the capital invested, we should Imuglne that the fact would have become more generally known than it Is. The trouble with Mayor Plngree's ar gument, however, is that it approaches the railway problem from the wrong side. People are not complaining in this country at excessive passenger rates. Their complaint Is directed rather against often exorbitant and In defensible freight charges. . When It takes four or. Ave tons of anthracite coal at the mouth of the mine to pay for the transportation of one ton to tide- ater, as has been the case more than rm In the hlatoi 'J of thn t iiat Itirlnatm. orx- " a " tnwi mere is room 10 question the ' Jflty of current freight charges.

The Scranton Truth almanac for 1S9 Is one of the best of the year books that have been received to date. The alma nac has been carefully compiled; Is neatly printed und contains a large amount of useful information for all, The liberal advertising patronnge ac corded the work also shows that the worth of the publication Is appreciated by business men generally. The Truth Is generally In the front rank of enter prise upon all occasions and the alma r.ac for 1896 Is no exception to the rule. Beginning today William H. McEl roy, formerly of the New York Tribune, will assume editorial charge of the Rochester rost-Expreps, which will become a straightforward Republican paper. This change will huve the effect of bringing to the aid of New York Re publicanism one ot the cleanest and newsiest and bort-conducted news papers In the United States. We wish It every success under Its new editor. The I'ottsvllle Chronicle has Issued a neat almanac and hand-book for 1S9G which contains the usual features of excellence that mark publications from first-class establishments. The Tribune acknowledges the receipt of one of the Chronicle's timely souvenirs, and wishes our contemporary a year ot prosperity. The Republican party, by organizing the senate, gains a little patronage at the price of a grave nnd serious respon sibility. From a political standpoint and this Is wholly a political mntter we think It will yet appear that the game Wasn't worth tho candle. Senator dodge's Americanism Is evi dently of the robust typo which would sooner go a step over the lino in defend ing his country's dignity than to falter on the side of cowardice. Let the Mug wumps sneer at him If they will; their sneers are compliments. The Carbondale Leader doesn't take defeat gracefully; but considering the magnitude cf that defeat and the per sonal meaning wrapped up in it, per haps we shouldn't either, if we were in the Leuder's shoes. WASHINGTON GOSSIP. Tribune Bureau, CIS Fourteenth street, N. W., Washington, Dec. 31. From the looks of things down In Ken, tucky the jig la up with Senator Joe Black hum. I inlv a. split amuntr the Kepuhll, cans can save him, and that Is not likely to happen. Blackburn's term In the senate dues not expire until .varcn a, jw, which will make twelve years ho has served In tho upper branch of congress. Ho was u member of the houso for ten yenrs pre. vious to his election to the senate. He also served In the Kentucky legislature In fact, lie has been PlilllUK at the publt teat ever since he left the Confederate army at tho close of tho "late unpleas antness. It is a hard blow to liiacKDurn to ue forced to leave public life. He is good for nothinir else, except as a criminal law yer, tie has tne most nuusive tongue ot any man In tho senate. That Is his strong iioint. An argument by Blackburn wltu out being ailoweu 10 a mi so ins aniuKomsi s rather a tame anair. lie is a nuuy ny nature, and in debate is a runlan ami blackiruard. During a discussion In the senate a few years ago lie locked horns with Senator Chandler, of New Hamp shire, and when Blackburn saw ho was uettlng the worst of the argument he walked over to the Republican side of tho chamber and pulled Chandlers ear. :.ot satisfied with thus humiliating nis antag onist and fcllow-senutor. Blackburn fur ther proved hlmseli: a blacKguurd by wanting to fight a duel with the New Hampshire senator. Luckily for JUai-K burn Senator Chandler declined to purtlcl bate In warfare of that kind. j .ess than two monins ago isiacKotirn met his match in another Kcntuclcmn Lieutenant Lucien Young, of the navy They had a misunderstanding at a dinner In an up-town restaurant. The Ho passed Blackburn pulled a gun on Young. The latter snatched it out of tho senator's hand, threw It on the Hoor, grabbed Black burn bv tho throat and made him uuolc gize, which he did very promptly and humbly. The day for blackguards In the United States senate Is gone, and when Joe Black burn steps down and out there will be few regrets and no tears. The Soutti, which bus been furnishing this class of states, men, Is sending better material to the senate. V If the emergency tariff bill, which the house passeil last week, passes the senate. It will bo with the assistance or Gorman Murphy, Brlee nnd Smith, known us the "HIS Four," who opposed the passuse of the ilson bill on tne ground that It would not raise sullicient revenue to meet the expenditures of the government, it will be remembered that these four senators so loaded the Wilson measure up with amendments that Its author could scarce- ly recognize It. They predicted then that there would bo a deficit in the treasury If the bill became a law, and their prediction has been verified. The house tariff bill, If It passes the senate at all, will doubtless resemble a crazy quilt, if there Is too much patchwork about it when It reaches he president be will not sisn it. Hn has his mind set on relieving the treasury by the issuance of bonds, ami bonds it wiil be. The prospect of the senate pnsslnir a bond measure are not bright ut this writ lnir. unless the sound money senators con cede a free silver clause. If they iio -that the bill will run against a snag when It reaches the white house. President Cleveland will not sign any bill that pro vides for the free coinage of silver, lie despises the white metal so that he would rather see the government go bankrupt thnn to recognize silver. There seems to bo no doubt now about the issuance of bonds by the treasury. The president nnd Secretary Carlisle have made up their minds that that Is the only means left for relieving the strain on the surplus, nnd the sale of $H)0,two.(hXl or $200, ouo.uoo of bonds any day need occasion no surprise. !!

II II II Information has reached here that the Dos Pasos committee, representing the New York bondholders of the Philadelphia and Heading railroad Is about to ask Judge Dallas, or the i.niteu stntes circuit court at Philadelphia, to - remove J. Lowber Welsh rrom the receivership of that rail road. Among other things they will cite that Mr. Welsh Is overburdened with re. sponslbllltlcs nnd -business cares. In ad dition to being a receiver of the Head ing railroad, he is president of the I'nlon Traction Trust of Philadelphia, trustee of the Drexel estate, a member of the Su gar Trust, being the owner of a large su gar refinery In Philadelphia, hns large sugnr Interests In Cuba, and is Inter ested In public and private business con cerns.. The main point to be urged for Mr. Welsh's removal will be that during the recent strike of the motormen and con ductors In Philadelphia he so manipulat ed affairs that the Fourth and Eighth line, which Is an active competitor of the Heading rond for local traffic, and which Is In Union Traction Trust, was the last to go oiit.
