Flection I'ay, Nov. 3.
There are evidently some men In com
mon council who funnot understand
why the hiKhest bid uliould nut capture
the marketable vote.
Blocking a Gouge.
There can be tie iiut-ation that the
awnrd of the Monroe avenue luviiiR
contract to Punn l'.iox., at u'kuvIiik '
35 cents u square yard over the bid ot
the Uarber Asphalt l'livln company.
Is In the Interest of the tax-payer.
That any considerable number of men
could be found In common council to
favor the higher Instead of the lower
bid Is a fact which ought to Rive the
citizenship of Seianton serious cui.e. m;
but It will probably be passed over like
many similar instances with the easy
comment that nothing better can be ex
pected under the circumstances.
A lui'Bu measure of credit Is due to
those members who stood by the honcut
and business-like view of this paving
contract and had the wit by a legiti
mate parliamentary artifice to circum
vent the careless, if not culpable, ma
jority. If the public would more earn
estly and conscientiously sustain the
honest membership in councils in each
of Its various efforts to brliij? system
and order out of the chaos that now
so often prevails in municipal legisla
tion, considerable improvement might
yet be wrought even with councils oon.
stlluted aa they now are. A goud many
of the men who at present train with the
gaiiff would walk the straiRht line If
the eye of public Inspection were more
accurately foetissed on their proceed
ings. As It Is, however, matters of this
kind as a rule receive scant attention
beyond desultory notice In the papers,
and the Jobbers are permitted to feel
that they have virtually a free swing.
The familiar saying thnt people get as
good government as they want Is cer
tainly true to the extent that what
they get is what they themselves are
really responsible for. So long as voters
are willing that men shall dominate
councils who would not be trusted out
of sight with private property, Just
that long will high bids for city con
tracts be preferred to low bids, and tax
payers be mulcted In order to make a
couiicllmanlc holiday.
Although the antl-MeKinleyltes still
declare that the Canton candidate can
not win, it Is Interesting to observe
how rapidly they are canceling their
contracts with the St. Louis hotels and
railroads.
An Object Lesson.
A congressman from the state of
Wasulngton who lately returned from
a visit to Japan brought back with him
and Is now wearing at the national
capital a suit of white duck goods
which cost him, in Japan, only $:!.23.
It could not be duplicated In this coun
try for loss than $10.
Japaai..is a silver, standard country.
The European exporter to America, now,
pays his employes gold standard wages
and depends upon low American tariffs
for his profits. Hut what Is to prevent
him from taking a sum of gold, going
to Japan with It, exchanging it for,
twice the amount of silver, nnd with
that silver hiring native labor to make
goods so cheaply that those goods could
be freighted to the United States and
old here In competition with our home
made goods even after payment of a
high tariff? On this basis the F.uro
pean exporter would make money at
both ends of the deal; he would make a
profit of 100 per cent, in his exchange,
and he would make as much more out
of his sales of the goods In America as
our tariffs would permit. To keep him
out of our markets we should have
either to remonellze silver or to levy
a prohibitive tariff on certain classes of
Imports. The dllllculty with a prohibi
tive tariff as a general rule of economics
is that It sacrifices revenue and necessi
tates direct taxation in order to get
money for the support of the govern
ment. This difference In exchange between
the gold and the silver standard Is al
ready having the effect to quicken
manufacturing industries In countries
which are on the sliver basis. It Is the
general testimony that In both Mexico
and Japan the two countries which af
ford the best test of the silver stand
are manufacturing is developing at a
more rapid rate than in any other two
countries on the globe. Although wages
are low,' as compared with the Ameri
can scale, employment Is steady, strikes
and panics are few and the general av
erage of comfort Is steadily Increasing.
In our opinion the competition which
we shall eventually feel from these
countries will yet arrest the movement
toward gold monometallism and cause
the people of the United States, either
fejr themselves or with International 4o
operation, to restore the double stand
ard. It seems to us that we must some
day come to this or else resort to the
Chinese plan of building a tariff wall
clear around us and buying nothing
from foreigners.
It U perhaps only natural that the
traffic managers Who wish to escape
Imprisonment when convicted of vio
lating the interstate commerce law
should try to railroad a repealer
through congress. Fortunately the at
tempt has collided with public opinion,
and public opinion still holds the right
of way.
Repair the Turnpike.
Now that the supreme court has de
cided against the city at every point
in its contention with the North Ab
ington Turnpike company. It would
fcem to be proper for the city to desist
from its obstructionary course and pro
ceed to the observance of Its contract
with that company. That contract called
for the maintenance of the two miles of
roadbed lying within the city limits in
as good condition ns Is the two-mile
stretch of roadbed which the company
Itself maintains in the township Just
beyond.
This turnpike is one of the most trav
eled and also one of the most advan
tageous public thoroughfares entering
Scranton. it is said, and we think with
approximate truth, that more merchan
dise Is conveyed over this one roadbed
than over nil the other roads radiating
from the illy. Certainly more teams
pass over it daily than over most if not
all the others combined. In the town
ship its condition is excellent. In the
city its condition Is simply horrlbe-.
The city of Scrunton secured from the
Turnpike company the removal of the
old toll gate upon the express condition
that it would properly maintain that
part of the road lying within the city.
It hail not lived up to this condition; anil
it has declared that It will not permit
the company to repair the road and col
lect, as under the law it now can, from
the city.
In other words, as we understand the
present situation, the city of Scranton
stands like a dog In the manger on the
Turnpike company's line, saying In ef
fect that it will not keep up the roadbed
of the most traveled thoroughfare In
the county and that the company shall
not. This may be a prudent and praise
worthy attitude to ussume, but if it is,
we are wholly In error as to the existing
facts. The question as between the
municipal authorities and the company
Is one thing; the welfare of the com
munity Is another. It Is demanded by
the latter that the city portion of this
Invaluable thoroughfare be speedily
made lit for the purposes of economical
travel.
The Ohio authorities are determined
that the Kindlay preacher who last
fall voted without registering In order
to prove that the enforcement of elec
tion laws was lux shall serve a year's
sentence in the penitentiary. It is a
pity some of this zeal Is not applied to
tin- cure of the original evil.
A Valuable Inquiry.
An Interesting inquiry has been
planned by Controller of the Currency
Kckeis. Its puriMise is to ascertain by
u canvass of ull the banks in the Unit
ed States upon a certain day near July
1, how much gold there Is In the country
and also what proportion of retail and
wholesale business transactions are
performed by Instruments of credit.
This will be an extension of the Inquiry
nuide by Mr. Kckels in 1S94, which was
restricted In scope to national banks.
It wus estimated then upon the basis of
the replies received that the American
stock of gold was In approximation to
$625,000,000. It was also shown that
among retail tradesmen using national
banks, checks and other instruments of
credit formed 86 per cent, of their total
deposits.
The situation in 1894 was, however,
exceptional. In that year the volume
of moving currency was greatly dimin
ished by the hoarding of coin and legal
tender notes by wuge-earners who had
become susiilclous of the stability of
banks. Scrantonlans remember how
this feeling operated to congest the pro
cesses of business locally; and their ex
perience was duplicated in nearly every
city In the United States. Consequent
ly the ratio of credit Instruments to
cash which prevailed In 1S94 can by no
means be regarded as a fair average
ratio; Indeed, the treasury authorities
themselves admit that the normal per
centage of these Instruments is not over
00. While advocates of the gold stand
ard lay stress upon the alleged dimin
ished need for money by reason of the
growing use of credits, and cite the
iigures of 1894-In proof, blmetalllsts, it
seems to us with fairness, challenge this
claim and aver that the growth of
credits, when unaccompanied by a cor
responding expansion of the amount of
cash current, l a step toward Inflation
and commercial unsoundness. .
But on both sides there has long been
renllzed a lack of trustworthy statistics
upon the subject. Estimates at pres
ent vary so widely as to be at times
amusing. Therefore the purpose of the
controller of the currency' to satisfy
popular curiosity upon the point by
a uniform and simultaneous canvass of
American baaks as near ns possible to
"settling day" Is to be commended. It
is unlikely that his Inquiry wilt prove
conclusive, since It will rest for the
greater part upon the uncertain basis of
voluntary co-oierat!on on the part of
state and private banks, which are not
under his control. Tet If made with
care and tabulated honestly It can
hardly fall to prove of decided useful
ness to all who wish to fit financial
theories to facts as they are.
Spain does well to heed the handwrit
ing on the wall. Hut the only guaran
tee of permanent peace Is a free Cuba.
Assuming Too Much.
Three months ago the Wllkes-Barre
Record printed almost dally appeals for
the Republicans of Pennsylvania to
stand by the Pennsylvania candidate.
Senator Quay. Today It Is spilling
columns of wrath, not only on Colonel
Quay himself, but also upon the very
delegates who acted in accordance with
its earlier advice and gave Colonel Quay
assurance of their loyal support so long
as he should remain a candidate. The
Record, therefore, Is neither consistent
nor just. By this sudden shuffle It for
feits Its right to assume superior virtue
nd' Instead simply makes its attitude
appear ridiculous to those who underr
stand the animus of Its present excite
ment That, however." Is the Record's risk.
We should take no notice of its gyra
tions did It not assume, with cool Impu
dence, to pass snap Judgment upon a
subject of immediate concern to read
ers of this paper. The Record, in the
course of a half column or more of Peck-
snlfllan cant, remarks, as If its deliver
ance admitted neither of question nor
dissent: "The Tribune knows that the
masses of the Republican party In
Lackawanna county would vote five to
one for McKinley If the opportunity
were afforded them. Nevertheless, the
Lackawanna delegates will support
Quay." The Tribune knows no such
thing. Neither does the Record. On
the contrary, the convention which
elected the two Lackawanna national
delegates, as well at, the later district
conventions which elected state dele
gates, distinctly and without dissent
declared for Quay. The national dele
gates, it Is true, were not Instructed;
but the state delegates, chosen several
months later, were. Therefore we sub
mit that the K-corJ has no evidence
upon which to rest its claim and conse
quently Is not entitled to use its own
unsupported conjecture as the basis for
sneering remarks at delegates to St.
Louis who have behind them the unani
mous Indorsement of their respective
constituencies.
Tin Tribune is not making war on
McKinley. It Understands that the na
tional delegates front this district in
tend to vote for McKinley whenever
Quay's name is withdrawn. It does
not even pretend that it thinks Senator
Quay is likely to win. It does, however,
contend that as the demonstrated lead
er of his party lu tills state In the lat
est demonstration of which fact The
Tribune had an opportunity to learn
something about Senator Quay's popu
larity lu this region, particularly In
Susquehanna the Junior senator Is en
titled to Pennsylvania's support, even
thqugh it may turn out to be an unsuc
cessful compliment. And we believe,
furthermore, that few Republicans,
however friendly they may be to Mc
Kinley, will dissent from this position
or recommend that the way to promote
the Ohio man's chances is by abusing
everybody who does not make a mad
rush to the McKinley band-wagon.
Says Chauncey Depew: "Tliere are
times when war may be necessary, but
they are few, and it Is difficult to find
a war which could not have been avert
ed with less expense, difficulty and mis
ery. The Civil war cost 1.000.000 men
dead. 2,000.000 wounded and $0,000,000,
000, and there Is not one who will say
that It could not have been prevented
ten years before, or when Abraham Lin
coln offered to settle the trouble by pur
chasing the slaves for $4,OV0,OO0,0U0."
Yes, and for that matter, Adam might
have refused to eat the forbidden apple
and thereby have kept the human race
in paradise. Hut Chauncey should .A
forget the Adam in mankind. It some
times needs a combing down, Interna
tionally as well as individually.
The Pawtucket, R. I.. Post, one of the
most sprightly daily papers of New
England, has secured as its new editor,
Mr. William H. Zeller, formerly state
editor of the Philadelphia Times. Mr.
Zeller is an experienced and scholarly
journalist, who will soon put the Post
in the front of the procession.
There Is consolation in the fact that
Thomas C. Piatt might better be dis
gruntled than the seventy-odd millions
of other American citizens.
We fall to observe much effervescence
In the Harrlsburg Patriot's enthusiasm
over Brer' Harrlty's renewed grip.
Maybe it is Frank Willing Leach's
intention to try to be a John Alden to
the senatorial Priscilla.
Perhaps Mr. Piatt Is merely manoeuv
erlng to have those conciliation over
tures renewed.
Something appears to be radically
wrong with the Paltison boom's sprout
ing facilities.
Mark Hanna ought to send William
F. Ilarrlty the recipe.

There Is no law recognised or unrecog
nised thut gives to Spain any shadow ot
riKht to condemn to death those un
armed American citizens woo Here cap
tured on board of, or escaping from, the
Competitor. To accuse those unfortun
ates of treason and piracy Is absurd. To
condemn the prisoners to death for of
fensea that do not, in their cases, exist,
is to arouse every manly man in this re
public. To execute the condemned Ameri
cana would ouhtleg be accepted by this
nation as a declaration of war. Treason
by American citizens is only possible when
they conspire against this government.
Piracy is a term that cannot sensibly be
applied to the acts of men who were en.
traced oniy in carrying arms and ammu
nition to the Cuban Insurgent. In their
proceedings against the Competitor pris
oners, the Spanish authorities have open
ly violated the Cushlng treaty and disre
garded the unwritten laws of humanity.
Another atep in the direction toward
which the Spanish visage Is sei will, in all
probability, precipitate war.
AN ABSl'KU srCGLSTION.
Handy In the Times-Herald.
As the original "Heed for the vice-presidency
man," 1 am bound to say thut I tear
there is little probability of his accepting
the second place on the ticket with McKin
ley or anybody else. The only hope; of his
acceptance would be In a unanimous nomi
nation. Hut the suggestion made lu a
Wcshlngtun dispatch that it would be
infra dig. for him to ride behind McKinley
on the ground that McKinley was once
his "subordinate" is too absurd for any
thing. The chairman of the ways nnd
means committee Is in no sense subordi
nate to the speaker, except as every other
member of the house of representatives Is
under his gavel. The ways and means
chairman is the leader of the house.
Kqually absurd Is the talk that McKin
ley would never have amourt'd to any
thing but for the chulrmanship to which
Reed appointed him. Many men have had
the same chalrniunshlp and found it their
top notch. The man makes the place, not
the place the mull. Keruunilo Wood, Will
ium U. Kelley, Koger Q. .Mills and Will
lam R. Morrison hud Just as good a chance
as McKinley to mske a record and go up
higher. Hut they did not.
