The week before election finds the Republican cumimiKh upon a victory basin, i Once threatening dissensions have in the main been healed; the Uuty of Republicans to their party is receiv ing general attention: and the defec tion of the few former Republicans who for personal reasons are now try ItiB to wreck the party is being more thun counterbalanced by accessions from the Democracy of men who re Bent the uses to which the present Democratic campaign is being put. The organs of the opposition are of course striving frantically to stem the tide toward Republican success; and the leaders of the so-called Republl rail revolt ale. In desperation, redoub ling their energies; but all to no avail. The common sense of the masses Is fast neutralizing their work. Preju dice and jealousy are losing their hold. Jt has ceased to be a question of fac tionalism, and has become a question of municipal safety. , The voters of Scran ton are rapidly coming to realize that in the hands of Ripple, "Williams and Wldmayer their Interests will be safe. They know these men, know what they have done for the tlty and what they can again do for it. They do not propose to tuke any risks. Republican administration in the past has been clean, honest and progressive. The city has prospered under It. Great improvements have been wrought and large expenditures of money made without mistake or scandal. The significance of such achievements is not lost sight of. The lesson of them Is not being Ignored. All that remains to clinch the bright prospect of victory is for active and loyal Republicans to stand to their guns. - Is John' Stelnmetz. of the Nineteenth ward, the man who. In 'M, got $5 from John H. Fellows upon a promise thai he would work for, Merrlfleld, Bailey and Schadt? . The Dunlop Theory of Journalism. The sentencing of Joseph R. Dunlup, publisher of the Chicago Dispatch, to two years In the penitentiary and to the payment of a $3,000 fine for sending In decent literature. through the mails is an act which calls for grateful recogni tion. Dunlop's paper has long been no torious for its corrupt personal adver tisements, which were given, over al most wholly to inmates of disorderly houses and other disreputable women. It has also been stenchful ln Its general news columns, the theory of the pro prietor being that five readers po'.'!'i be got for a recklessly sensational mieet where only one would support a clean paper tit to enter the circle of home. That this theory,' as a matter of mathematics, is substantially true cati not be doubted. We all know (hat we are more Interested In evil reports than In good ones. Wher ten men will read the report of a sermon, at least one hundred will read the report of a prize tight. A between the proceedings of a world's parliament of religions and the details of a scandalous divorce, suit Involving prominent names, nobody can be In doubt as to where the averugre reader's choice would fall. The dullest papers ore the cleanest; to make a '"spicy" paper means to make one that can be depended upon to magnify crime, exaggerate the unexpected and deal lavishly with the frothlness of current affairs. ' .' At the same time, publisher who care anything for their self-respect will be slow to put Dunlop's theory Into full practice. We do not say that It would be possible to print an Ideal paper and find enough readers tor it to Bustain it. There has to be a concession to the vulgar, the Ignorant and the rnoubldly curious. The day has 'not-Vet come when a newspaper dependent, noon its advertisers and subscribers for a- liv ing; could afford not to' print reports of prize lights, scandals and crimes.. .But it can moderate . these ( offenses against .good taste and be discreet and circumspect. It need not make filth its exclusive or chief stock in trade. , An affidavit has been' published over the signature, of John Hteinmets, the Molr delegate In- the Fourth-district of the Nineteenth ward, toting. hat he "IS Informed" that Joseph, Wolf, one of the vlgtiants the recen'ft primaries!, received Votes from nersonainlit nun II. fled to vote. It will' "be retnemberpd that Wolf and Huffman, ,hls associate Vigilant, have already worn tiiat Stejn- meti himself aud also his brother-in-law tried to stuff the ballot box by Vot. Ing two Votes 'apiece.' The first charge that Stelnmeta made against Wolf was thnt Wolf had thrown Molr votes on thi floor. Now all he can Fay is, that h "Is, Informed", that Wolf took votes that should not have been taken. The kick era' affidavit mill Is evidently running low. For City Treasurer. It goes without saying that the city treasurers hi p. which In a city like our own. Involves the handling of immense sums of money, should be held by men who are honest -above suspicion, careful In their accounts, methodical in bus! ness and widely known as safe and trustworthy citizens. It is true that the law exacts of the treasurer of the city a bond sufficient to guard it against any probable loss through carelessness or criminality; yet this guarantee does not relieve voters from the moral re sponsibillty of selecting for this office men whoso character, probity and In telligence will set an example of up rightness to the youth of the city and lend dignity and prestige to the whole city government. It Is not a reflection on Mr. Boland the Democratic: nominee, whose per sonal merits we concede, to say that In point of business training and famil iarity with the city's resources and needs, he is fully equalled, if not sur passed, by his Republlcun competitor. Dunlel Williams. .Mr. Williams' sur cessful career us a business man, ills service on the poor board und the mod est but substantial interest which lie has ulways exhibited In the welfare of the city give ample assurance that as treasurer he will be found a faithful lumoruble and exemplary public se vant, to whose election no Republican need ever feel ashamed that he con tributed. . As a representative of the glowing West Side and ns a Republican whose party loyalty Is almve suspicion, Mr. Williams is fully justified In ex pecting the support of a united jiurty. which means his election by a rousing plurality one week hence. We nre of the opinion that a good many wngo-enrners In this city have had ehonsh of Democratic times nnd don't proposo to give the leaders of tliut party any further encouragement. As to the Adjustment of Costs. A resident of Willlamsport, Mr. Clin ton Stager, addresses to the I'hiludel phla Press a defence of the practice of juries In acquitting defendants but putting the costs on them. As an illus tration of how that may work for good he cites the case of a man. who was tried "on a churge of obtaining a large amount of money from a bank by false pretenses in which It was clearly proved, and not disputed, that, he had wilfully lied, but his large holdings of property and other circumstunces seemed to preclude the Idea that he ln- tendc?d to defraud the bank, or thnt he could have possibly thought that it was in his power to do so. The jury acquit ted him; then came the question of costs. There was no reason why they should be Imposed upon the county nor upon the prosecutor, who was abun duntly warranted In bringing the prose cution. As It had been made necessary by the defendant's bad conduct, the jury very properly put the costs upon him." Mr. Stager's contention that this practice does more good than harm Is supported by the Philadelphia Times, which says: The. law permitting a division of costs wus enacieu to null the Krowlh or pct'y inurrriiiiK in our criminal courts, anil iiImo to protect the county from being cuiupeiieu 10 pay me price or sucn 111 mil lion when il was inspired by pussion or resentment, witnout any Just claim upon the protection of the law. It him nut only hindered muny entirely unwarranted uruMeciiuoiis. mil wnere bucii net oils have been Institiiteil It has enuhli.il court ami juries to ileal justly with the parties it wuh once very common in Pennsvl. vanhi for cross actions to be brouuht for uiiiiilt and battery, and in very munv of such cases the court and jury would discover that -there was neuriv or quite equal fault on both sides. The cases did not warrant the criminal conviction or either Uerctiuunt. and the result in most cases was the acuti ttal of both parties u ml the countv hud to pay the costs. This frivolous litigation in the criminal courts' becume so general that it was a necessity o Interpose some rea unliable obstacle to its continuance, und tne very best possible method was adopted by providing that the costs could be di vided on any busls between the parties. or that the defendant could be acquitted und yet made to pay 'the entire costs of the action. It would be u serious mis take to efface this law relating to costs from our statutes. It was called into ex istence by a great public necessity; it hits hindered frivolous and passionate litiga tion, and it has cei-tainlv served an ex cellent purpose, while It has done no wrong to uny citizen, unless In some in stances where juries may have reached un unjust judgment, it is a Wise restraint upon the litigation and prosecutions which result chiefly or wholly from per- onul resentment, und the law should be maintained as in every way wise and Just. ... Mr. Stager suggests that If the matter Of costs is to be readjusted, there are details more in need of revision thnn the act glvlns juries discretion in ver dicts of acquittal. Says he: "Under the present la,w where the grand Jury Ignores a bill and the costs fall, as they must In such a case, either upon the prosecutor or upon the county, and in cases of felony where the trial Jury acquits there is no provision of law under which the defendant can be re imbursed for his actual expenses In the summoning of witnesses and for their attendance In court. It Is an outrage that thecomitionvvealth should have the right to put one of Its citizens on trial upon an unjust charge and refuse him 'ompensatlon for the actual expenses Incurred for the witnesses in his de fense, and the sooner it is remedied the better. We u!so need a law authoris ing justices of the peace in case they find a criminal charge unwarranted, if it be a misdemeanor, to collect their own and the constable's costs from the prosecutor, and In cases of felony from the county; This would prevent the re turn of a great many cases to court that are probably made only because by so doing Justice and constable can get. their costs, and would put a stop to a rapidly growing abuse." It Is very evident that the fake "fraud" cry hus been worn threadbare. Re-elect Fred Wldmayer. The office of controller In a city havr lng the varied fiscal Interests and handling the large sums of money characteristic, of Hcrant'on Is a much more Important position 'than most persons think. The controller in a sense Is both the city's book-keeper and Its auditor. He Is the one guarantee whom the taxpayers have that the money which they pay Into the city treasury for running expenses is properly and J honettly applied to legitimaJe purposes, upd not squandered, misapplied or stolen. Without his carelessness or conniv ance, no employe of the t lty can cheat or rob his employers, the people.. Un less he knowingly winkH at or ignorant ly fails to exercise thrtt careful and constant scrutiny which the position calls for, there is not a dollar due to the city nor a dollar spent by the city without being entered upon a proper record and ofilclally certllied to. It Is the controller who. If the accounts of any department are crooked or obscure, can demand an examination and take the first Bteps toward the city's protec tion. The position has duties so oner ous, so varied and so exacting that they cannot be safely entrusted to a subor dinate, but must be performed by the controller In person, who Is of the great est service to the city when he Is ex perienced In the detailed workings of his office ond does not have to depend upon somebody's advice as to what to do or how to do It. The Republican candidate this year, Fred J. Wldmayer, has served for three years in that capacity with favorable results not surpassed In any city in the country. During his term of service $J50.(KKI In city bonds hove been issued and the proceeds applied to authorized public Improvements, under Mr. Wld mayer's honest scrutiny and, not a penny has gone wrong. In point of personal character. Individual courtesy, punctuality and fidelity, and oftlclal ex perience, his candidacy for re-election rests upon an impregnable basis of manifest merit. The city is to be con gratulated that It can have another three years of service so prompt, straight forward and. efficient. Senatorial prophets at Washington, It Is suld. estimate that McKlnley will lead at St. Louis on the first ballot with ."BO votes against 200 for Reed. 120 for Allison and a large number scattering. If the history of pnst conventions be any criterion, the leader on the first ballot will be likely to lose rather than gain thereafter. In view of this fact it would seem to be worth while not to overlook one William B. Allison. Those protectionists' who think thnt the Democracy could be encouraged In the spring of a presidential year without being strengthened at the fol lowing fall election, which will decide for a generation between Democratic free trade times and Republican pros- 1 perity, employ queer logic. The way to lick the enemy Is to keep it licked. Wliy any Republican should want to help put a Democrat into the city treasurer's office, in place of honest Daniel Williams, is more than we can understand. The thoughtful Republi can, even though he may nurse a griev ance against the head of the ticket, will certainly not make the mistake of vent ing it on Mr. Williams. Bayard's friends In the house raise the point that what Bayard says or does Is none of its business. That is where Bayard's friends and the Ameri can people are going to disagree. It takes something more than per sonal malice to defeat a good ticket In this city. Beat Ripple with a gentleman Just moved Into the city? Nonsense. WASHINGTON GOSSIP.

Why there should be antagonisms aitainst Mr. Connell In this contest and why they should be used to prejudice Colonel RIpple'a candidacy for mayor is rather surprising. We know this feeling does exist and art aware of the unpleas ant allegations made. But are they just? is Mr. Connell being fairly und honestly treated? For a great many years Mr. Connell has been a leading spirit In our city. He began as a poor hum, but by energy, per severance end the highest business quail. ties has attained wonderful success. Ha as always been and is an enthusiastic Srrantonlan. His great energy and ample wealth have been used to build up tha city. He Is largely Interested In dozens or Industries In addition to his coal mints that have contributed inuteilully to our progress and welfare. No doubt he hus millions nvested in this city and 114 tin mediate vicinity and many thousand souls -thereby earn a llvirllhoud for themselves und families. It is true that Mr. Connell does not Invest his money and boom the town without hope of return. But vari ous Sciantun men have died and some are now living as weulthy as Mr. Connell who were or ure of little practical bene. lit to this city, because they do nollilntf for home industries. As u Hyde l'urker said the other day In tulklng about "Con nelllsm," we wish we hail a William Con. nell on this sde. We would have had some of those Industries here that we have been wanting so long. In charitable work Mr. Council's purse seems to have no limit. Ills generosity is utmost uiiDOiih'ieti mm ne gives tnou sands every year to the poor und to in stltutlons thnt nre for the poor. Think of that princely gift of r,f,,m for the Kim I'ui k church and many other splendid do nations to worthy causes. We think that Mr. Connell deserves our good will anil commendation. He Is doing grand ser vice for mankind, und is worthy of more consideration and less ubuse than he re ceives. The trouble Is that there are loo few men of Mr. Connell's useful stump.
