Imve dune well to take advantage of this chance. Memorial Day. Severe as have been Its penalties, tho civil war was nevertheless one of the greatest benefactions which our nation has yet experienced. Tt has proved beneficent not alone In the quietus which It save to immediate contentions that had loiifr wrecked tho peace and threatened the life of the republic, al though had this been Its only merit. It would have been well worth its cost. It has, however, done ImmenFureable rood In the stimulation of a patriotism which, planting itself on the firm foun dation of a saved and Kanctlflod repub lic, has within three decades after Ap pomattox, knit together. Into an en during unity of spirit ulid of purpose, two civilizations which, up to that su preme arbitrament, had from Plym outh and Jamestown carried down through our history the clashes of an Inherent antagonism. In honoring today the memories of the men who fell in the war against dis union, it Is our privilege, therefore, to think of them not only as near of k!n, but also, and paramount, as instru ments of the providence of Almighty Uod, chosen for the working out of His will In a mighty conflict that carried within Its decision perhaps the political destiny of unnumbered future ages. For if government of, by and for the people had proved on these Bhores a failure, one cannot conceive of how it could ever elsewhere have been carried to a success. Superficial, Indeed, is that view of the subject which looks upon the triumph of the North as mere ly the preponderance of numbers. If Inspiration from on high ever guided the course (of human action. It came to the rescue, live and thirty years ago, of tills people, not alone through the heaven-reared Lincoln, but through the patriotism and the bravery of every loyal private in the ranks, from Bull's Run to Gettysburg and from Vleks burg to Appomattox. If the spirit of democracy triumphed In war because of the heroism of the dead wo now honor. It will today, In the midst of peace, move forward to a vic tory Incomparably finer. For today we reach by new and solemn paths the demonstration that In our land all loyal citizens are equal heirs to glory; the obscure private with the applauded chief commander; the humble marine with the epauletted admiral. There Is no American who will today draw any distinction between the man who rode In honor at the van and the man who trudged In patience at the rear. All Ho now In the democratic vestment of an equal esteem, joint objects of sor row, co-subjects of praise. The lesson of their life and death remains as a common heritage to the posterity for whom they went to the glory of a mar tyr's doom; and It Is a heritage which will endure. The paving of Mulberry street from Mifflin to Taylor avenues will make It one of the very finest thoroughfares In the city. It will constitute an improve ment which will be its own ample re ward. Safeguarding the Ballot Law. Referring to the recent decision of Judge Gunster to the effect that a man cannot be compelled to testify as to how he votnd in any election until It has heen proved that he voted illegally, the PIttston Gazette remarks: "On the gen eral prlnclplo that a man cannot be compelled to incriminate himself it would scorn that the decision of Judge Gunster Is eminently proper. However, the courts of the state have not been do ing business on this principle. In the recent judgeship contest in the Wyoming-Sullivan district, dozens' of men were called to the witness stand and compelled to testify before the court as to how they voted, frequently incrim inating themselves. If Judge Gunster's decision Btands the test of the supreme court, It will not be so easy a matter to get at the bottom of election Irregulari ties." Without doubt the easiest way to got at the bottom of election Irregularities Is to prevent them. Had the last legis lature exhibited any Inclination to rem edy conspicuous defects In the Baker ballot law, many of the now frequent llc.gallties such as were brought to ylght In the Sittser-Dunham contest would have been prevented altogether. In relation to Judge Gunster's ruling It deserves to be said that It Is simply recognition of the plain spirit of the ballot law. which presents a Its first claim to public favor the guarantee, hitherto frequently rendered Ineffective by the courts, that the elector's ballot shall be secret. If at every contest this pledge of sevrecy may be cancelled lh discriminate!)-, what would it be worth? If Street Commissioner Kinsley, In his forthcoming address before the board of trade, wishes to strike at the root of most of the trouble In his department, he will clearly have to denounce the measly, antiquated system of ward ap propriations. Scranton will never have the right kind of streets until the money for their construction and repair shall be placed In a sum at the disposal of the street commissioner's department, to be expended as shall be deemed best by the street commissioner and the mayor. The Lansing Bicycle Ordinance. ' With a number of changes the Lans ing bicycle ordinance would deserve to be given the benefit of an experimental trial. The one feature In It towhieh there will naturally be most objection Is the registration provision. Why should bi cycles be subjected to registry and tugging whl'e other vehicles are not? The reply which has been made in Kochefter and other cities to this In quiry Is that bicycles are different from other vehicles especially with respect to the fact that, when propelled at illegal speed, they cannot so readily bo Iden tified. By requiring the registration and num'oering of wheels a means Is sj cured for the identification of Illegal riders, who at present scorch v. ith Im punity thiourjh crowded streets. In practice It might not prove a very effec tive means, but at least it would be a convenience for the police, department. We have our doubts, though, us to the propriety of charging a registration fee. Tho proposed charge, to be sure, Is small, but since the purpose of the or dinance Is rather to facilitate the pro tection of pedestrians than to raise revenue, this charge might be eliminat ed. There are somewhere between 2,00(1 and 4,(W0 wheels In the city which would come within the scope of this ordinance. If it should pass. A fee of 75 cents for each wheel would bring the total yearly revenue from this source up to from 51,600 to $:i.000. The work required of a registry clerk In the office of the city clerk would, under the ordinance, not occupy more than one month each year. To tnko from local whoelnic-n XI. SO) to ?3,000 upon the excuse that It Is needed to pny the wages of a $00 a month clerk for one month and also to pay for a few brass tag.t seems like going it pretty heavily. Inasmuch us puch a toll Is not exacted from owners of wagons and carriages, vehicles that under the law stand upon an equal footing with bi cycles, it ought not. In our opinion, to be levied upon wheelmen. At the most, a charge not to exceed 5 cents would be ample for the number plate, with registration free, If the latter feature hi deemed worthy of trial at all, which Is doubtful. Perhaps, after all, a simpler way would be to pass an ordinance enacting u penalty for riding a wheel in the city lit a speed-rate exceeding eight miles an hour, and providing for tho mounting on bicycles of a limited number of patrolmen, with power to see that tills ordinance is obeyed. To this there could be no objection from any quarter. The problem from any standpoint presents numerous practical difficulties, but the evils of reckless riding are multiplying bo rapidly that something to correct them must be done, and that soon. When it Is remembered that McKln ley was Piatt's choice four years ago, the present opinion of Piatt that Mc Klnley is an unsafe man becomes legi timately subject to discount. Quay on the Financial Problem. It has remained for the Hon. Chris, Mugee to discover that Senator Quay is an "unsound money" man. The gen tleman from Allegheny recently In structed his lieutenants In Washing ton to peruse Quay's celebrated tariff speech delivered In the spring of 1S94; and they have discovered what gives to the Honorable Christopher a twinge of exceeding joy. The passage in ques tion is as follows: "Should the pending measure (the Wil son bill) become a law, u. grave monetary question will immediately confront the American people. We muy, with occa sional distress, accept the foreign money ntumlni'J, be harnessed to the chariot of the old la'ly of Threadneedle street, ami driven hither and thither hy capricious juggling with Imports and exports of our Bold, provided we eun at the same time maintain an American commercial policy, iut a foreign commercial policy cannot be appended to a foreign tinan clal policy without practical sac rillcn of oiir autonomy and a return to a colonial dependence upon Great Britain. The progress of thought and events has been such In this country that It Is wedded to the gold standard, though by a long and dreary nuptial ceremony and not without privilege of divorce. Tho state of Pennsylvania is essentially a hard money and honest money stnte. lint sliver is hard and silver is honest, despite con tant and Insidious effort to degrade it to the plane of Mat currency. And under the pending legislation It will be tho duty of Pennsylvania and of the country tn gravely consider the expediency of nn advance to the silver standurd. If our heme market Is to be surrendered to foi elfjn manufacturers and importers . by radical reductions of customs duties, it may prove to the Interest of the country thnt our obligations should be met in our own money. If we cannot have a tariff of customs we may have a tariff of ex change', which at the present price of sli ver would exceed 1(10 per cent, ad valorem. This would amount to a second declaration of Anwrlcan independence which would overthrow the combined power of the deal ers in gold in our great commercial metro polis and the forelprn importers of roM, and isolate us In the production of all articles which this country Is capable of manufacturing or producing. "The contemplation of such a proba bility lends to the suggestion of bimetal lism. But bimetallism would not meet the monetary exigency which would confront the country upon nn sooniion or the cus toms tariff. Ulmetalllsm can bo sustained by no one notion. It is only possible by agreement between oil tho leading gov ernments of the world In nrmed conven. tlon. No nation can be Induced to enter such a convention so long as its bal ances are all upon the creditor side and s,i long as It can continue to hold despotic and Bollfury control of tho machinery of the world's exchange. If protection by customs must full, I apprehend that sil ver monometallism In the New World H necessarily precedent to bimetallism In the Old World.'1 ' But where Is the unsoundness In those remarks? That Is what Mr. Ma gee's newspaper falls to locate." Every word quoted above Is literally and un alterably . true. " The gold standard very clearly benefits Europe more than us. We would soon be bankrupted by the appreciation In the value of money which Is taking place under the present single Etandard If It vere not for our protective tariff, which compels tho creditor nations of Europe to pay back, In the form of customs duties, some ot the gold which they constantly drata from us In the form of Interest charges. Only our crest natural wealth enables us to bear the strain, and we could not depend upon that to save us were free trade to add to the crippling of our productive industries. To be sure, hav ing got ourselves In the grip of Euro pean money-lenders, who now threaten us with financial ostracism If we do not dance to their fiddling, we are com pelled to move cautiously, and must, by contract, cling to the cold standard until we can safely re-establish bi metallism. But that doesn't deprive us of the privilege of doing lot of hard thinking, and of occasionally giv ing utterance to our thoughts, some what after the style of 8enator Quay. The farcical character of the present spasmodic effort to get a popular ex pression on the question of the next senatorshlp Is shown tn the placing of the names of Penrose and anamaker before the Huntingdon county Republi can primaries. What will such a can vass amount to? Neither of these two men Is likely to succeed Cameron. In structions for either one will have no greater effect than to leave the mem bers from Huntingdon free to turn In, when the proper time comes, for the destined third man, whose name may not come before a shisle primary In the stale. Is tho game worth the candle? "The election for prrsldcrt t'.-,ls ye-r Is likely," obccrveB the Philadelphia Record, "to be one cf the most' Inter esting In our history. New elements have been evolved; old associations have been broken up; the political prophets are at fault;, or.d ntr.l.l tho clnrhing of new fojets and nw combi nations Mr. McKinlcy, In case of his nomination, may be ground between the upper aid ncthrr 1r.iKsLOY.e3." Who would bo so heartless as to destroy this fond illusion?

The blcycl" riders of Wilkes-Barre ore Just now making themselves supremely ridiculous and unconsciously doing their best to bring thmnselves Into disfavor by silly attempts to compel the revocation of needed regulations lately Imposed as h direct tes'ilt of reckless rldini:. Not long n;jo there was a serious (ire In the city, to which thousands- of wheelmen rode at breakneck speed, occupying the highways to Kiu-h nn extent thnt pedestrians waited an hour for a chance to cross -tha sircet. At once the general public snd the nuthor illea Appreciated the n.'j'l of regulations to prevent a recurrence of sueh a scene. It appears that a good many Wilkea Harre wheelmen have been In the habit of riding on the sidewalks, or riding with out a bell and of riding at night wltho.it s lamp. Tho chief of pollco announced that bells and lights would be required after May 2'), and at once the bucolic und callow youths of I'jat reetlon of the coun try began a revolt lo show Just how cal low they are. They provided themselves with cow bells, sleigh bells, locomotive headlights, millers' lamps, lanterns, etc. Their hope wns to bring the city ordt. nance into ridicule and to compel its re vocation. But as the authorities have gone on arresting and lining these silly youths the aliened fun comi'S a little high and the mob spirit and element of mis. rule so foreign to a self-respecting com munity and so ftorthy of a cowboy camp begins to recover its scattered senses. There are times when tho authorities of American cities must act with llrmneai ami perforin their duly no matter which way public favor may seem to go. The Wilkes-Uarre authorities have only to deal with tomfoolery and they should make short work of It. THE BICYCLE qtfiSTIOX. In view of the fact that the Lansing or dinance is in essential partlculiira a copy of tho ordinance now pending In Roches ter, the following remarks of the Demo crat and Chronicle of that city will be read with local Interest: "It must be admitted, considering tho number of wheels and the speed with which they are ridden, that there are very few accident recorded as a result of side walk collisions. Hut thi't does not affect the question at Issue. The following facts must bo considered In this connection: "First The bicycle Is a vehicle. Its place therefore Is In the street. "Secondly Its presence on the sidewalk causes constant alarm and nervousness on the part of many pedestrians who have tho rlnlit to demand of the authorities exemp tion from unnecessary peril. "Thirdly In the event of on accident on the sidewalk an lrjured"ledestrlnn would have a cause. of action oxe.inst the cltv, "Fourthly If the bicyclers ore required to ride in the streets, where properly thev belong, the r-ntlre Influence of the wheel men of Rochester will be concentrated upon the question of improving those thor oughfares. "That exclusion from tho sidewalks nt present will eau?e much Inconvenience to wheelmen Is obvious. Some of the main streets leading to the resident portions of tho town are practically unridahle. But this inconvenience Is generally regarded as a lesser evil thnn side walk riding with all Its dangers and liabilities for dam ages," ' IX I'XCLE PA.H'K UO.HAIX. From the Philadelphia Record.
