A Happy New Year.
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-

reports of 'Ambassador Bayard's reed

. -
speeches concerning the weakness and
the dishonesty of his countrymen In the
t'nited Statos., The cuse of Mr. Hay
ard dare not be dropped, short of such
action by this government as will teach
him and all other ambassadors that
their mission in foreign climes is to
stand up loyally and boldly for the
whole, peoplo they represent, and not
simply for some one faction or party,
In view of the present grave dlfferen
ccs between this nation and Great ltrlt
nln, it seems almost Incredible that the
president should wish to continue at the
English court an ambassador who,
within a few weeks, had gone out of his
way to explain to the people of England
that his countrymen were stubborn and
headstrong, that they needed a strong
man to govern them, and that the great
majority of them, being believers in
Protection, were In effect dishonest,
whllo American legislation was en
trusted by them to chafferers, not to
statesmen. ' 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
rametfi toT thl" and similar extortions
oe luunu u. me aouotiui and
almost impracticable expedient of gov
ernment ownership, but Is rather to be
sought in a more thorough and effec
tive regulation of the existing railway
system by state and federul supervi
slon.
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.

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

ther proved hlmseli: a blacKguurd by

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

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.

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

Welsh's removal will be that during the
recent strike of the motormen and con
