Pinal Advice as to the Viaduct.
If a "last word" be permissible with
reference1 to the viaduct, it Is a word of
admonition to the taxpayers of this
pronperous and rupldly growing; city
to build with an eye to the city's future,
the development of which must come
through wise and liberal public Inv
provements. A mistaken notion pre
vails In some quarters that the city Is
all the time piling up bonded indebt
edness, but dolus nothing to cancel this
Indebtedness at its maturity. Nothing
could be further from the truth. This
very year $100,000 worth of municipal
bonds will be canceled by the city, and
the money for that purpose Is alreudy
In tho city's coffers, awaiting the exact
moment of disbursement.
To authorize $150,000 of new Indebted
ness at this time will udd almost noth
ing to the tax return of each citizen,
thunks to the etllclent and economical
manner In which the finances of the
city have been administered under Tie
publican municipal supremacy. The
estimate thut the viaduct will cost, at
the outside, not more than 40 cents a
year to each average home-owner is
based upon the supposition thut the
city's Indebtedness will continue at Its
present figure plus the contemplated
new bond Issue. But It will not. The
old Indebtedness will gradually be paid
off. And as this occurs, the tax rate
will full lu corresponding ratio, until
the vluituct will have been paid for
without the taxpayers having been con
aclous ot its cost.
While on this subject It might bo
well to remind the Republican voters
of Hyde Park that if they get the via
duct they ought to have their respect
ed neighbor and trusted fellow-country
man, Daniel Williams, In the city treas
tirer's office, to look after the finances
during the viaduct's construction. To
vote for the viaduct and then not to
vote for Williams for treasurer would
.be to announce u lack of confidence in
the Integrity of .a Welsh supervision
of the city's fiscal Interests, such as
tho voters of the .West Side, in our
opinion, do not feel.
Vote for the viaduct, and show that
Scranton is capable of being up-to-date.
Some Facts Concerning Canada.
The Canadian minister of education,
Mr. Ross, in a recently issued public
address, endeavored to stir up anti
American feeling by asserting that "the
oath which every naturalized citizen of
the United States takes Is an obligation
to defend the country against all her
enemies, particularly against the gov
ernment ot Great Britain." .
But that distinguished Unionist, Pro
fessor Goldwln Smith, Is unkind enough
to knock the props from under this
specious misrepresentation by showing
that the oath required of an applicant
for naturalization Is that he "will sup
port the constitution of the United
States, and that he absolutely and en
tirely renounces and abjures all al
legiance and fidelity to every foreign
prince, potentate, state or sovereignty
of which he was before a citizen or sub
ject." As Professor Smith pertinently
adds: "The form is the same for ap
plicants of all nationalities. No In
vidious distinction is made in the case
of those who are subjects of Great Bri
tain. This correction is due to the
thousands of Canadians who are every
year becoming naturalized citizens of
the United States, and who, if Mr.
Ross' statement were true, would be
guilty of self-degradation."
No doubt the purpose of Minister
Ross' address was to discourage Cana
dian emigration into the United States.
If so. It will probably not pVevall while
the 4.833,239 people of Canada stagger
along under a public debt of nearly $70
per capita, and are burdened to support
a set of officials whose salary-drawing
power would do credit to Tammany at
its best. Following are some of the fig
ures: v First, the ornamental governor
general gets $M,000 a year for doing
nothing, together with another $50,000
or thereabouts for maintenance. Then
he has a cabinet of fifteen ministers,
eleven, of whom receive $8,000 a year.
Next are the lieutenant governors, one
for each province, who are paid in On
tario, $10,000; Quebec, $10,000; Manito
ba, $10,000; Nova Scotia, $9,000; New
Brunswick, $9,000; British Columbia,
$9,000; Prince Edward's Island, $7,000;
northwest territories, $7,000, or $71,000
toll told. This does not include- the
maintenance of official residences for
the lieutenant governors, nor the sala
ries of their secretaries and aldi-de-cump,
which will bring the. total well
Up to $100,000. To this must be added

Manitoba, with 152,506 population, over
$:i0.000.
Under these circumstances It Is not at
all strange that the bettor class of Ca
nadians, to the number of more than a
million and a quarter within the past
two decudes, should have hastened to
get on this elde the border; nor ls,lt
strange that the officials of Canada,
who fare so well, should want to keep
others from following these emigrants'
example. '
Vote for taniel Williams, nnd Insure
on honest administration of the city';
finances.
A Word in Closing.
Ey the time these words come beforo
the reuders' eyes the municipal battle
in this city will have reached Its Inst
and decisive stage. Whatever may be
the result of the day's balloting. The
Tribune takes, In advance, this occa
sion of congratulating the citizens of
Scranton upon the fact that in the main
the closing contest, while animated be
yond the average of local campaigns,
and while to a large extent, from un
avoidable circumstances. a light of rival
personalities, has been kept upon
plane of dignity nnd self-respect. We
say "In the main," because It Is true
that the Scranton "Republican," speak
ing in factional bitte.rness nnd malice,
hus descended to depth9 unprecedent
ed even lu the filthy record of Its un
scrupulous proprietor. Hut we ucquit
the liomocrutie candidate) of Individual
responsibility for tills nastlness, und
regret that they were powerless to He
cure from their newspaper champions
the uniform fairness which bus char
ncterized The Tribune's allusions to
themselves.
Kor tho restriction of personal abuse
tothe anti-Kepubllcan side In this fight
there Is consolation In tho fact that if
any man in the city of Scranton can, by
the sheer force of his determined and
manly Individuality, draw the fire of
factlonul vilification without endanger
Ing his final standing us a citizen, thut
man is Kzra H. Ripple. Whether elect
ed or defeated as a result of today's
expression at the polls. Colonel Ripple
will remain the same sturdy, generous
and churitable man, the same friend
of the weak and of the poor, the same
Indefatigable champion of all that
makes for better citizenship and clean
er civic conditions that he has uniform
ly been since. In this city, he grew from
humble circumstances to inun's estate
unit first became the natural leader
thut he is. And so, perhups, It Is well
that lie alone should be forced to bear
tlie brunt of the charge which Is being
made upon cleun government und nun
oruble business enterprise in this com
mutilty, because be is pre-eminently
qualified to stand it.
At the same time, we shull be deceived
In the quantity o'f common fairness in
Scranton If the electors of Scranton
shull today consent to sacrifice a candi
date so concededly worthy upon the
altar of private malice. Aye prefer to
lieve that Instead of speeding the
current hue and cry against one of the
founders and makers of this prosperous
city; instead of being deflected from
an obvious duty by the siren voice of
political apostates, who would delight
to see reputable Republicanism ruined,
they will rally to Ripple's standard and
accord their sovereign favor to the ex
cellent Republican ticket from top to
bottom. Such a course of action Is
culled for by the best interests of the
municipality, which have never been
so well cared for as under Republican
administration conducted along lines
of which Mayor Ripple ten years ago
was the successful originator; and It
' imperatively demanded by every
consideration of personal justice.
Some journals affect to detilore the
number of Republican "favorite sons."
We do not agree with them. The more
presidential candidates the merrier. It
would be a mean state which wnuM
refuse to compliment Its leading states
man if he wanted a complimentary
vote. Fur better a' surplus of good
presidential timber than a deficit.
Well Intended, but Unwise.
Representative Loud Is the father of
a bill (H. R. 4066) which, although good
in intention, is calculated. In effect, to
work much hardship ar.-I injustice to
Interests which deserve considerate
treatment by congress. His measure
provides for the removal of certain
forms of printed matter from the regu
lar second class of mailable matter, for
which the postage rate is one cent a
pound, to a special classification, on
which the rate shall be one cent for
each four ounces or fraction thereof.
The forms of printed matter involved
are: AH sample copies of newspapers
and periodicals; all books or reprints of
books, whether sold by subscription or
otherwise, or whether they have been
Issued as premiums or supplements or
form parts of regular newspapers or
periodicals; all unsold conies of news
papers and periodicals, commonly
termed "returns," and now customarily
sent back by many dealers to publish
ers through the mall, and , all extra
numbers of. regular publications sent
by the pflbllshers thereof In the Inter
est of advertisers.
The inient of this bill Is to cause
publishers of trushy "libraries" and
similar bud literature, which only os
tensibly have subscription lists, to pay
a higher rate of postage than they now
pay, thus increasing the postal reve
nues at a point where there has always
been a deficiency between cost of trans
mission and postal receipts. The effect
of the bill is to place a burden indis
criminately upon all publishers and all
readers of magazines, weekly newspa
pers and reputable periodicals. As has
been . well said by another, by the pas
sage of this bill In Its present form

It may well be questioned whether
the exclusion of vicious cheap literature
from the mails Is possible by tho meth
od adopted In this bill. Our observa
tion Is that readers who want tilth are
much more willing to pay a high price
for It than those who want decency.
The tendency of tho price of decent
literature, dally, weekly nnd monthly,
Is unmistakably downward, as Is shown
In the increasing number and merit of
penny newspapers and ten-cent maga
zines. But the tendency ot the price
of illlhy literature is rather upward
than downward. The weekly story pa
pers which revel In sensation, the
"nlckle" and "dime" llbrnrles and nov
pp, the salacious yellow-backed stuff
of notorious renown get their price
without a murmur from those who read
that kind of reading. Tho point there
fore is that Representative Loud, while
ostensibly hitting at the publishers of
rot. really misses them tid slaps decent
and commendable publishers full in the
fuce. Ills bill, if it cannot be amended
so as to make It equitable, should be de
feated. There cannot be too much good
cheap literature.
Vote for Kzra H. Ripple for mayor,
because he unmistakably deserves it
Postal Savings Banks.
Several bills providing for tho f
tabllshment In this country of the pos-
tul Bavlnga bank system are under con
alilurutlun bv congress. Of these two
are most prominent. One was Intro
duced by Senator Mitchell, of Oregon,
and provides that postmasters hall
keep on sale postal savings xtnmpa of
and 10 cents anil $1, and postal sav
Inirs cards unon which such Htamps,
when sold, shall be affixed. When
these curds are filled with stumps any
postmaster Is authorized to accept them
In exchange for certificates of deposit
bearing Interest at the rate of 1.S25 per
cent, per year. The postmaster gen
eral Is also authorized to designate cer
tain postofllceB to receive deposits in
sums not less than $1 and not more
than $100, which shall bear Interest at
the rate of 3 per cent in a similar man
ner. The other bill, which was drafted
by Representative Brewers of Califor
nia, limits deposits to $5. with $200 as a
maximum, und provides that no inter
est shall be paid to any depositor upon
sums exceeding $2,000. Until deposits
reach the sum of $50 they are to be kept
In puss books, but then, at the option of
the depositor, the postmaster may issue
a twenty year 3 per. cent, bond for the
sum of $50 or any multiple thereof.
It would seem to be possible, by a ju
dlclous combination of these two meas
ures, to retain the merits of both with
out the weaknesses of either. It ought to
be practicable, we should think, to give
a uniform rate of 3 per cent. Interest
on all sums, great or small, which might
be offered ut any designated postofflce
for deposit. If not that, the Interest on
small deposits should be made
sufficiently high to supply an
Incentive for children and work
Ingmen to save their pennies
and Invest them with Uncle Sam. It
s not likely that many large deposit!'
would be made. Those who have money
In $1,000 or $2,000 lump sums to deposit
for small Interest will prefer to make
terms with national and stale banks,
nearly ull of which offer 3 per cent., and
some of which pay 4 per cent, on de
posits of this character. The one merit
of the postal savlmrs ha nlc HV-tm
which commends it as a theory to pub
lic favor is that It offers an inducement
to the young in small communities to
save their slight resources. To this
end the rate of Interest ought to be
placed as high as can be done without
mposlng a burden upon the tax-uavliiir
elder folk.
Vote for Fowler, Flckus and Dawson
and secure equitable, buslness-Ilke city-assessments.
Vote for Fred J. Wldmayer for con
troller, and reward demonstrated merit.

If you were famishing of hnnirer nn,1

Bailey?
In any of life's duties. In which cour
se, honor and kindness ure essential.
which would you select for a leader, Kz-a
If. Ripple or James U. Bailey?
You will notice that in this brief article
we say nothing for or against either of
hese two estimable gentlemen. We slm.
ly submit a few timely thoughts for the
consideration of the Bailey men them
selves, i
We trust they will ponder carefully ovor
these suggestions, write the name of the
man ot their choice at the end of each
question, and mark their ballot for him at
omorrow's election.
It Is as certain as sunrise that, if these
questions are conscientiously answered by
every Bailey man, and he marks his ballot
accordingly, the city of Scranton will
elect a mayor tomorrow of whom she
will have good reason to be proud. .
LET FA1RXKSS DECIDE.
From Last Night's Truth.
The final argument of the city campaign
will take place tomorrow, at the polls,
when the citizens will decide with their
ballots whether Ezra H. Kluule or James
U. Ualley shall be the next mayor of
Scranton. The verdict rendered at the
ballot box will mean more than the suc
cess of a party, a faction or a man, and
dazed or disturbed, and In the clashing of
the elements the real Interests of the city
have been lost sight of, even by men r
ilinarily cool-headed, and tho spirit of faff
Man has taken possession of - the most
JU'llclotis. This Is greatly to be resetted,
but it Is always what the uuacrupulous
una the ambitious, those who mnKe a
traile of politics, succeed in bringing
about for tho purpose of confounding the
calm Judgments of men.
The ereuturo who perpetrated the vile
cartoon of "the tattooed man on Mr.
Blaine, when that great statesman was
the popular Idol of his party, was not lit
to black Blalie's boots; but he could
throw mud ani meke a stain, and hold a
famous man un to public ridicule by Insln
uutlns rather than charging a libel, and,
so he douiitlts served the purpose of Ms
masters. But he Inflicted a wound nt the
same tlmo that did not heal until the
heart of the noble man h aiied at grew
forever still.
There Is too much of this same mall
nnnt snlrlt runnlnu through all our poll
tlc. making It possible for the unworthy
to run the gauntlet of a campaign on an
eutinl foot n with the best. It 13 some.
times hard for those who have but little
leisure to discriminate between the aim
nlr truth and a falsehood with frills on It
and so the political results are frequently
l:nuilsractot'V.
In a city of the size of Scranton. how
ever. It should be easy to recognize the
difference between the sterling anu m
st,urlou. and to sift truth from error
even in an excltlna municipal campaign'.
Thi. yfter all. is what every citizen
rltlrnr his ballot tomor
row. Let every voter put uside the slan
ders, the passion and the excitement ot
the canvass, und calmly ask himself this
,,tinn- "Who is the better man for
mavor of Stanton Era H. Ripple or
James 0. Bailey?" If he does this, and
permits his conscience to give an honest
answer, tt win ue r.zm ii. uipjoc
