Upon a Victory Basis.
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. -

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

uruMeciiuoiis. mil wnere bucii net oils

ami juries to ileal justly with the parties

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.
