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

I GULISII CONDUCT.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
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," '
