of the lr.Ullicloality to inolcii tiis

falls. The rmirts. Induct, have lnM
lhat the man who is Injured by n nsoa
of such u nuisance n:ay recover from
the city, which Is inesumed to see that
nuisances are not nermilttd to exist. It
seems ronsolinV'le to infer. Ilierefoir,
that the courts would tinply the same
luglc to the case of the man who Is
run down by a scorcher, noon the rui
sonnlilc iresum:itioii that it is the mu
nicipality's business to iin veiit scorch
In. If our Ktirmlse ho correct, then theciiy
of ScTiititim is running ;i serious litian
clul as well as a. crave moral risk in
making no Hptum-nt cfl'i it lo ctoli the
Mifed of careless local whi i lmcn. Tl:o
city has passed all ordinance I m iild'Un;
the ridlnif of bicycles on much-traveled
Ktrctts at a fasti r rati- than ci:,-lil inlli s

ICvcry time he v."cs beyond the U'Ki'.l
limit ho Imoeiils the safety of pedes
trians, who have as nood a i IkIiI to live
Olid breathe and he haidiv as he lias.
Yet there is not an hour in the day nor
it day in the week, not even cxceptiiiK
Sunday, when this reasonable speed
limit is not luni.red, often to the serious
menace of thos.i who yet venture to
wulk abroud without lirst encasing
themselves in testproof suits ol nrmor.
, The growth of the bicycle habit has
Invested this taihject with real and live
Importance. So Ions as only a few per
sons rode wheels, the rlsltM to peiles
trlat s from favt rid ins wire not such
:isto vei'e special liitercsi. riiit now
adays almost every otlui resider.t of
Sitantoii rides a bicycle. There is
ncarccly a moment in the day when the
man. woman, or child who desires io
i:ross any one of the chi"f I'.urincss
thoroiinhfares in the oer.nal c'ty does
not have to wait for the i hanee to dart
nervously between last-spinniiif; wheels
propelled by riders who imagine that
v.heti they l;ave soiimled n small bed
their wiv ic duty le- pcuestrhu:;' is dis
charged. Cons'tlns down our stc p hills I
also j
a crnwlnc siuiicp i f danuer. It Is ex- j
tremely dilMcult even for a practiced j
eye to RattRc the rate of a enaclinj? i
wheelman's approach with sufliclent ac
curacy to enable its possessor to keep
naTTly riut o the wheel's way. In tho
case ot used persons and children, the
coasting nuisance is doubly abomin
able. It is almost miraculous that there
have hitherto been so few accidents
from this cause. The risk is such that
nerious, perhaps fatal, accidents are
hound to occur, sooner or later. If the
practice ho not stopped, and it Is out of
Ihn ipiestion to suppose that the prac
tice will be stopped unless vifrorous
munis be taken to stop it. So Ions as
the police take no steps In the matter,
.lust that ImiK will reckless riders keep
up their criminal negligence, and Just
that lonsf will it be unsafe for the walk
ing citizen to venture forth.
For two or three years the local press
has followed the moral suasion plan
nf trying to coax scorchers not to
scorch. It has failed. Scorching Is rap
Idly on the Increase. The percentage of
careless riders may he small; but the
steady smwth which is taking place In
the whole number of wheelmen Is brlnK
InR the careless fraction up to danger
ous proportions, and the only way to
reduce It Is to apply the law. Those
riders who are law-abiding and consid
erate of the public's rights will not re
cent they will rather applaud the haul
ing of the chronic scorchers before the
courts. They will realize that they
themselves have nothing to feur from
tin enforcement of the law, and will
welcome the chance to rid their favorite
pastime from the odium forced upon It
by the class of wheelmen who act upon
th-. principle that the individual with
out a wheel possesses no rights worthy
of respect.
. Mr, Cleveland need not be so eager
to deny that he told Wash Heslns of.
Chicago he would not run aifaln. It
mas a sensible conclusion, that does
him no discredit.

Politics in Luzerne.
Considerable In t rest Is being mani
fested in Lucerne county over the iUi s
tion whether Congressman Leisi nring
wants a second term. 1'r.til recently we
had supposed that the breeze uihui this
point .va citilifi.il. but h.o.!iny has
since convinced us tnct mere is real
uncertainty uinor.g leading Luzerne Ke
publicans; and it is now apparent to I'.s
that a positive expression from him to
the effect that he expects to be a can
didate uuain will be the only thing
which can much Inirji-r keep the Held
fli c from otln r cnii ics.
W hile there is no danscrolis disposi
tion to antagonize Mr. I.elscni Ing. there
are several Hepuhlicans of standing and
inlluence who urcue that if he doesn't
desir- to retain the congressional
mantle, lie ought frankly to say so,
thus opening the way to u fair contest
among those who do have ambitions
in that direction. In the upper end the
name of County Chairman W. S. Tomp
kins has been presented as that of a
possible candidate; while further down
the valley there is talk of (lulus ,.
llalsey, of White Haven; and beyond
tile mountain, Maidetoii, as usual, has
a round half-dozen of congressional pos
sibilities. I'mlcr the surface tin re has
already been a ipili t movement toward
the fi. lining of combinations in the
event of Mr. I.eiseiiring's withdrawal:
and It has even been whispered that
KranU Willing l.eaeh s't .ot! ready to
lc li any man who mi.:; lit whii to make
war en Lclscrrlrg this, as a requital
fer tlie ci.iiiM'i s.-'nan'M recent champion
ship i f Klkin. Whether H ue or not, th! i
story has added piquancy to a situation
which was already full of interest.
To all Icquii ii s Heoi esi otative l.eis
enrlng has thus far returned Indef
inite answers. The infi rence from them
is that lie expects to be a candidate
lor re nomination' but he does not say
Mi. It Is said by some that he contem
plates a visit to Ihirooe this Hummer
and that he xpeets to lie gone for sev
eral months, pel haps for a year, in
tending, iiicii his return, to enter ac
licly into the canvass for the guberna
torial nomination in lsiis. We do not
know whethc r these reports are true.
Accuracy In connection with Mr. I.eis
eiiring's in litieal intentions Is dilllciilt
to sec inc. lie evidently believes that ll
Is good publics to look shrewd and say
nothing.
To Ib v. Frank ( lane, pastor of the
Trinity Methodist church, Chicago,
must be credited a novel experiment in
peisuasive Christianity. In order to at
li act people to prayer nu eling. he has
arranged to solve lemoiiail" and ginger
snaps to all comers. His plan has
worked well, so far, but it has its ills
advantages, (lift Inducements, to be
permanently successful, require to be
conducted on an Incitasliig ratio; and
si inetlmesa point is reached where that
doesn't pay.
After the Civil Trial.
A question not without potential in
terest and importance has been raised
In connection with the case of Die two
Americans captured by 'Spain on board
the tilibusterer ship, Competitor, if
they should be com teteel at the ap
proaching civil trial and n-iiteneed to
death, what course would this govern
ment pursue'.'
I'mlcr its treaties with Spain, this
government could do nothing In behall
of the men directly. H asked a rehear
ing in accordance Willi its rights tinder
I two treaties, that of 17H.1 and that of
I IS77. the latter of which is known as
j the '. 'ashing protocol. Tin- first treaty
stipulated thnt "the subjects and citi
zens of each of the contracting parlies,
tlicie vessels or effects, shall not be
liable to any embargo or deteiillnn on
the part of tin- niher. for any military
expedition or iiulille or private purpose
whateer, and in all eases of seizure,
cici ulion or fivrvst !'.-, ,i,.,.ti .o.itract
ed, or offenses committed by any eili-
zens of the one party within the Juris
diction of the other, tiie same shall be
mane an. i prosecuted ny order and au
thority of law only, and according; to
the ic gular course of proceedings usual
in such cases. The citizens and sub
jects of both parties shall be allowed to
employ such advocates, solicitors find
attorneys, agents and factors, as they
may judge proper, in all their affiles
and in all their trials at law. in which
they may be concerned before tin- trib
unals of the oilier party; and such
agents shall have free access to be pres
ent at the proceedings in such causes,
and at the taking of all examinations
and evidence which may he exhibited
in the said trials." The Cushlng proto
col reads: "Xo citizen of the 1'nlted
States in Spain, her adjacent Islands,
or her ultra-marine possessions,
churged with acts of sedition, treason
or conspiracy against the Institutions,
the public security, the integrity of the
territory, or against the supreme gov
ernment, or uny other crime whatso
ever, shall be subject to trial by excep
tional tribunal, but exclusively by the
ordinary Jurisdiction, except in the case
ot being 'captured with arms In hand."
The contention of our state depart
ment for a civil trial of the Americans,
Milton and Laborde, was based upon in
formation thnt these men, nt Weyler's
court martini, were not uilovcd to
choose their counsel nor accorded an
opportunity to procure testlimmy In
their own behalf. Tills deprivation was
clearly a violation of the provision of
the treaty of 17i)3,' as just quoted. Hut
ir. at the civil trial which Spain has
ordered, the prisoners shall be accorded
all the privileges vouchsafed toihem by
this treaty and yet are convic ted and
condemned to death, It does not appear
thut we will huve further legal right of
Intervention. The men are not pirates
and never were; hut If a Spanish court
after duo formality pronotlnces them
such," we, shall have to swallow UiaJn-
Justice as best we can; we will have no I
decorous alternative. !
Should this result be reached, how
ever, the blood of these men would be
on Crover Cleveland's head, almost as
directly. In morals, as if he had been
t!ielr actual slaughterer. Had hx"
obeyed with promptness this nation's
mandate to recognise the Cuban in-
su:;'eiils us belligerents, the ship Com
p. tilor could huve carried arms to the
Cubans without further risk to the men
ca board of he r than that of losing their
cargo by copliscatioii in the event of
the -hip's seizure by Spain. The charge
of piracy could not have been preferred,
the Americans In the Competitor's crew
rocld not have been held as prisoners of
wr.r and the w hole incident would have
lost its trar.le aspis t. If these Ameri
can citizens. Milton and Iiborde. aro
shot, as Is freely predicted by eminent
authorities, the odium for their assas
sination will belong ten-fold more lo I
the president of the Cnited States, who, '
s the bead of a humane and enllght
I
nt ought to have been ;
lied goveinine
quick to extend the hand of help in i
Cuba, than to Spain, a traditionally I
cruel and ignorant nation, from which !
no better course was to be expected. j
Hut If these men shull be shot, won't ,
. u i-in iii i. ii.- lemony in in.n .-
behalf." We shall se-e then whether
Mr. Cleveland will persist in disobedi
ence of the nation's expressed will.

According to Correspondent William
K. Curtis', who recently went to Canton
to look around, Mejor McKlnley "is In
a serene and amiable mood. He says
that lie hasn't an unkind thought
toward anyone, not even toward Ill

to forgive and forget everything un
pleasant that has occurred during the

If any candidate could look "serene and
