In the Interest of Justice.
AlLr-'ion hi railed to the Flutoment

the rliarite ni.ulo In yesterday's lU'imb

of this elty. That attack, involvliiir us

which would, if Riven In connection

Is characteristic of the man who penned
It, and In Uceplns with his habitual
methods. All that we ask is that those
who read the accusation will in fair
ness also read the defense. Then let
the public judge.
As for Hip Scranton Republican's
latest abuse of Mr. Council and Colonel
Hippie, that needs at this time no spec
ial attention, since It Is simply a re
hashing nf oft-repeated slanders ut
tered by a man who enjoys, it would
seem, a certain Inapproachable npti

gate, brautrailoclo and smut. It the
public wishes to make comparisons of
its own between the public or private
records of Mr. Connell or Colonel Hip
pie on the one hand, and Mr. Scranton
on the other. It Is doubtless sufficiently
familiar with the facts in the premises
to do this without assistance from The
Tribune. Today's primaries will afford
it a pood opportunity to give expression
to Its verdict in this Issue; and we. for
our part, are entirely willing to submit
the case to that tribunal without fur
ther argument.
The Kepubllcan says that It "will cor
dially support whatever ticket is hon
estly nominated next Tuesday." Its
support or Its opposition Is doubtless u
matter of Indifference to the proonblo
nominees. Three years ago an outsiuor
had to write Its editorials In support of
the Republican city ticket In Hint cam
paign and they were printed only under
protest. Last fall the county commit
tee had to send a prodding sub-committee
to the Republican olllce before It
would accord the county ticket any no
tice. Yet both times the ticket won by
majorities unheard of during the rcljrn
of Czar Scranton. Looking nt the mut
ter with an eye to past results we should
Kay that the less the Republican sup
ported the next elty ticket the better
will be Its chances of election.
The New Viaduct Ordinance.
The ordinance of Councilman Oliver
proposing to submit to si vote of the
people the question of bonding the city
to the extent nf $l",0,0(i0 for the purpose
elf constructing a viaduct on West Lnok
uwatina avenue, between Seventh and
Ninth streets, on property to be pur
chased outright on the southerly side
of the avenue, will command approval
where the original viaduct project in
vited criticism, for the reason that It
puts the matter on a fair and equltuble
business footing. The diillculty with
the original viaduct project was that It
left the question nf damages open, thus
involving the city in definite possibili
ties of litigation and expense. In the
present ordinance it Is proposed to ac
quire the necessary property by nego
tiation before constructing the viaduct,
thus making it possible for the city to
know In advance Just how much It will
have to pay for the improvement.
If it shall prove that Mr. Oliver's es
timate Is sufficient to cover all the costs
In the premises, his proposition will
undoubtedly encounter general favor.
There is, among fair-minded Scranton
lans, no difference of opinion as to the
need of a viaduct over this dangerous
and much-traveled portion of West
Lackawanna avenue. It has been good
luck rather than anything else which
has hitherto prevented many serious
accidents at this point. In addition to
the peril now surrounding vehicles and
pedestrians, there is constantly in pros
pect the possibility of un accident to the
downward cars of the Scranton Traction
company, which a viaduct would ob
viate. Given a slipping of the car brakes
and a simultaneously passing train,
and we have all the elements of a trag
edy frightful to contemplate even as a
possibility.
The impression has been studiously
fostered by certain unscrupulous poli
ticians that there exists1 in connection
with the present city administration a
cherished wish to oppose the viaduct
project In all Its forms. Statements to
this effect have been repeatedly circu
lated on the West Side, and are doubt
less being made in the present mayor
alty campaign. Such representations
are gross perversions of the truth, and
reflect with anything but credit upon
those who make them. Whatever offic
ial objection has arisen in the past to
the viaduct "project' has been directed.
not against the justice of the claim of
the Weft Side to this improvement, but
to the faulty manner of Its formulation.
The present ordinance apMara to ob
viate pat,t objections, and will undoubt
edly be received with approval by many
who felt In duty bound to enter ob
jection to Its faultily-drafted predecessor.
Says the Republican: "The owner
ship of The Tribune will court a per
sonal controversy with that of the Re
publican at Its peril." The owners of
The Tribune do not concur In Mr.
Scranton's estimate of his own import
ance. Ought to Stand by It.
Ex-Socretary Foster's idea of raising
additional revenue Is to put a dollar of
new tax per barrel on beer. "Thus."
says he, "you Ret t32.0A0.0W at a Jump.
This would go a long way towards fill
ing !n the difference between our Income
and our expense account. It would be
no political harm, either. It would fall
on the brewers; As a tax It would never
reach the consumer. Reer glasses
would be as large for a nickel as they
are today. There's plenty of profit In
beer to make room for the extra $1,
whether It be paid by the brewer or the
saloon keeper. Beer costs the saloon
man $6 a barrel. He retails it. live cents
a glass, for $30. With such a profit
$1 extra on beer is the easy, natural
revenue thing to do."
The question of the "harm" done by
adding to the tax on beer Is one which
would probably not worry the majority
of persons if they deemed It advisable
In time of peace to substitute direct for
Indirect taxation. Hut there is reason
to believe that they do not favor any
such substitution. The present Insuf
ficiency of the federal revenue having
been in'ought about by the wanton sac
rifice of protective duties, it follows at
once that the one proper way to repair
the deficit Is to restore the protection.
The house bill has done this, und the
Republicans In the Bennte and through
out the country ought to stand by It.
In at least one respect the Scranton
Poor bourd yesterday reorganized just
right. Its unanimous re-election of K.
J. Lynett ns secretary was u deserved
coinollment to a most eftieient and de
serving official.
Today's Primaries.
It has not been The Tribune's custom
to espouse In Its columns the cause of
any candidate or candidates for local
olllce prior to the adjournment of the
nominating convention. As a rule the
duty of selecting party nominees may
safely be left without comment to the
convention. But exceptional circum
stances justify exceptional action,
and In the present nnte-eon vent Ion mu
nicipal canvass In the Republican party
in Scranton, peculiar conditions have
arisen which require treatment out of
the ordinary.
At the beginning of this canvass cer
tain individuals who had for some time
been active In fighting Republican nom
inees and in fomenting party disturb
ance met together and mapped out a
plan of campaign, ostensibly In the In
terest of Captain Motr, hut in reality
with a view to re-establishing the cor
rupt and arbitrary domination of J. A.
Scranton. which had been practically
repudiated by the people as too
offensive for further tolerance. At se
cret meetings and In the columns of
Mr. Scranton's paper fulse charges were
made against 'men of life-long promi
nence as Republicans und as citizens,
whose offense consisted In refusing to
be bulldozed, and slanders were littered
of the most unjustifiable character.
When It came to be not simply a voicing
of candid party preference as to can
didates but rather an atrocious diffusion
of personal calumnies and a kind of
Guy Fawkes conspiracy of attempted
political assassination, there was left
to self-respecting Republicans no choice
but to organize In defense. This has
been done, and a ticket has been offered
for party approval containing the
names of C l m l K. H. Ripr'e, as its
candidate for mayor; Daniel Williams,
for city- treasurer; and Fred J. Wld
mayer, for controller. For this ticket
wo Invite support at today's Republi
can primnries.
Colonel Ripple, has already been tried
as mayor and his record, whether in
public or In private life, is unfamiliar
to few. Daniel Williams has been for
many years one of Hie staunch Repub
licans und sturdy citizens of the West
Side, und his record, too. is known. Mr.
Wldrnayer's best claim to renomlnatlon
is found in the splendid work done by
him dining his first term. He has made
an irreproachable city official and not
custom merely but also merit pleads in
favor of his re-election. This is the
ticket which clean Republicanism offers
as Its reply to the envious scurrility
of the "Independent Republican" organ
and to the misrepresentations and the
bluster of the ntandlng malcontents
who manipulate the opposition. Let
party sentiment make an Intelligent
choice.
Senator Sherman never said a truer
thing than when he declared that if the
government had to borrow money. It
ought to borrow from its own citizens,
and not from foreign bankers. The
financial operations of the second
Cleveland administration will make a
humiliating page in American history.
English Comment on Bayard.
Says the London Sun: "The idea of
Impeaching the American ambassador
because of some ittatements and opin
ions in a speech delivered in this coun
try. may be justified In Washington by
the exigencies of parliamentary rules
and political warfure, but after all,
even In the ardor and stress of home
warfare, some respect Is due to the dig
nity of a nation and to its repute abroad;
and the dignity and repute of every
nation are inextricably bound up with
its representatives abroad. As for Mr.
Bayard, the United States was never
represented In this country by a gentle
man who commanded more universal
respect. Kind, frank and thoughtful,
he is a man who represents the very
best type of American gentlemen; and,
whatever political opponents may say
and with Internal differences in the
United States we In England have
nothing to do every American In Lon
don knows that he is a representative
to be proud of."
The Sun's endorsement of Mr. Bayard
Is chivalrous; but It la personal rather
than' judicial. " Very different Is the
acrid criticism of the London Times,
which In discussing the ambassador's
Kdlnburgh riiecrh remarks that "as all
this amounts to calling in question the
wisdom of one-half of his countrymen,
and that the half which has been win
ning largely af recent elections. It Is
probable that Mr. Bayard's remarks
are fairly described as Injudicious,
lie . is held here In the highest
respect, and we all know qalte
well that he did not really intend
to Interfere at all with party contests
In America. At the same time It Is
quite easy to understand the point of
view of the Republicans, who say that
an ambassador representing the whele
nation ought not to offer observations
which make him the mouthpiece of one
section only. We should have been
greatly surprised had the representative
of any European power delivered such
speeches us those now in question; nnd
even In Mr. Baynrd's rase there was
some little astonishment. It seems, in
deed, that he has transgressed the rules
of his own diplomatic service, and that
a regulation signed by himself has ac
tually been unearthed, which forbids
the very style of criticism In which he
has indulged."
It would unquestionably be unwise
to renew In congress the silly talk
about Impeaching Mr. Bayard. That
would simply expose American diplo
macy to newrldlcule. But It is demanded
by Important public considerations that
his open and Indefensible Indiscretion
should receive ollUial censure. This la
not so mnterlal with regard to Mr. Bay
ard himself, for he soon will bo relieved
from his present responsibility, as It Is
with reference t) the future. Failure
to express official disapproval of his of
fense would invite Its future repetition;
and thnt is a prospect which American
statesmanship may well wish to avert.
Several able college professors nre
wasting Ink in the endeavor to prove
that the Monroe doctrine, nt the time It
was first formulated, clidu" mean much
of anything. Suppose we grant that,
for the sake of an argument. That
doesn't signify that we have no right to
make It mean something now. We are
not living in the past.
Sensible advice Is given to the street
car employes of Philadelphia, by the
Inquirer when It tells them to do their
striking at the polls, by the election of
trustworthy coumilmen. That advice
holds equally good In Scranton.
It may or may not be true that Quay
and Reed have quarreled. But one
thing is true, and don't make any mis
take concerning It. Tom Reed Is not a
man to be owned.
According to the London Sun, Cleve
land's Venezuelan message Is "flap
doodle." But the Sun Is worrying about
It, just the same.
Governor Morton would do well to ex
act from Thomas C. Piatt a guaranty
bond.
POLITICAL POINTS.
And now the Republicans of Wyoming
eouniy wunt one of the Fifteenth district
delegates to the national convention.
Wuyne and Suxqiiehannu have ulrenily
tiled their claims for the two delegates,
while Bradford remains to be heard from.
Of the four counties comprising the dis
trict, Auaqtichnnna tins u congressman
at hirtie, Bradford has the district con
gressman, und Wuyne has the state sen
ator, it does seem us ihotiuh little wv
oining niluht justly claim recognition to
one or the national dcli guiCH. Especially
since sho has also become a Republican
county.
Congressman "Jack" Robinson belongs
to the class of politicians who like to have
u number of irons in the tire nt the umu
time, .lust now. according to some of the
Delaware county papers, "Juck" Is a can
didate for representative In congress for
a tin id term, for I. n lied States senator to
succeed Cumeron, for governor in
und for delegate to the Republican na
tional convention. It Is barely possible
that there are a few other otllces that
"Juck" wants, but which have been over
looked. If there are he is not too modest
to mention them.
Hon. Thomas V. Cooper, in his Delaware
American, urges the Republicans of Dela
ware county to unite on Congressman
Roliinaon for M lilted States senator, be
cause he Is a Delaware county man. If
the American urired his eminent ntness
for the position the argument would have
much more roree. r or some reason ltou
Inson. In his .Media Ledner, never clium
pions Brother Cooper for any office. The
two Media editors und politicians do not
constitute a mutual admiration society,
apparently.
It Is said that up In Susouehnnna coun
ty It Is proposed to hold only one Repub
lican county convention this year, und to
notnlnnte candidates for the county of
fices ut the convention o be called In the
spring to Belect delegates to the state con
vention, """here Is considerable opposition
to this proposition by Republicans who
donotwnnt the local candidates nominated
until later In the year. So-called snao
conveutloiis never huve been popular in
Susquehanna.
Congressman William A. Stone, of Al
legheny, us Is well known, Is Senator
Quay's tlrst choice for something or other,
and Colonel Stone's friends s.y that that
some thing Is governor of Pennsylvania In
1N9S. That arrangement. If really male,
will not b very highly indorsed by Lieu
tenant llovernor Lyon, who has ambition
in the same direction and thinks he is in
iine of promotion.
The Republicans of Luzerne county will
hold their primaries on Jan. 18 and their
county convention on Jan. 21, to select
two delegates to the nntlonnl convention.
The lrlslntlve district conventions to
elect deputes to the state convention will
be held Jun. 2d. Present fndicattons ure
that the Luzerne delegation to the state
convention will solidly support Hon.
Charles A. Miner for delegate-at-lurge to
the national convention.
Some Democratic organs appear to bo
unable to draw the distinction between
patriotism and Jingoism. If these papers
had existed nt the time when an eminent
American statesman gave expression to
the sentiment "Our Country May she al
ways be right; but light or wrong, our
country," they v.-ould forthwith huve
dubbed him a Jingo.
It is now given out that Senator Quay
will not expect to be a deleicate-at-large
to the national convention, but will
bn content to go as a delegate from his
own congressional district. That would
mske room for one more in the state ut
lare. Why not let Senator Cumeron do
the game thing?
The United States' senate Is' once more
an obstacle to the enactment of neces
sary leglslutlon. The senate Is rapidly be
coming as obnoxious to 'the American
people as the house of lords Is In Knglund.
THE TRIBUNE ANNUAL.
A Heady Kcforcnco Gnljc.
Philadelphia Tlmps: The Scranton Trib
une sends out an annual for the year IS'.lii
of the most valuable character. As a noli

like the progressive and thorough newspa

comprises an array of Information of es
pecial use in northeastern Pennsylvania.
The pages devoted to election statistics,
the coal trade, and Lackawanna county
organizations have been prepared with
great care and will be a ready reference
guide for the coming year.
