The prospects of a brisk local holiday

Plugging a Big Leak.
The Interesting announcement Is
made that Auditor General Mylln has
discovered a leak by which the state
has been losing $500,000 a year through
evasions of the collateral Inheritance
tnx. To Illustrate: A man dies leav
ing personal property worth $1,000 and
real estate valued at $100,000. There Is
no will: he has no family, and his
brother Inherits his estate. The brother
applies for letters of administration
He Is only required to state to the
register the amount of the personal
property in order that the amount of
his bond as administrator may be nxeu
The brother mukes no mention of the
real estate and there is no way for the
register to find out about It. The only
account he flies Is as to the personal
property. That Is the end of It. The
property passes to him at once and ne
is $5,000 ahead of the state on the tax.
Thla has been the way of doing things
heretofore and under It great evasion
of Just obligation Is possible. Under
the new system which Auditor Cleneral
Mylln has devised and which will Im
mediately go In force, a person taking
out letters either as an administrator
or an executor must do so by first peti
tioning the register. Blanks have been
prepared, and on them he must st forth
the name, residence, date and place of
death of the deceased; a full list of all
the heirs' and next of kin, with their re
lationship and place of residence, and
a complete schedule of all the personal
and real estute left by the deceased, and
the amount of incumbrances. This
statement must be sworn to. All of the
Information contained In this schedule
It to be at once recorded by the register
In a docket for the purpose, which has
been prepared. That Is the basis for
future operations. In this are to be
kept a record of all appraisements of
real estate, inventories, etc. When the
application for letters shows a collat
eraf inheritance tax is due, a blank for
a full return Is furnished. If a return
Is not made within six months a notice
Is to be sent the administrator or ex
ecutor, calling attention to the law. If
at the end of the year the tax has not
been raid, a final notice will be sent.
demanding immediate payment, and if
that Is not forthcoming suit will be en
tered. Under the law the suit may be
brought at the end of the year, and the
tax collected with twelve per cent, per
annum added.
The plugging of this leak will materi
ally Improve the state's financial con
dition and to General Mylln fur his
vigilance the state owes much.
It Is all very becoming In Mark Hanna
to put away ambition; but It may be
another thing when he shall try to put
away duty, and duty clearly calls him
to the secretaryship ot the treasury.
Canada's Manifest Destiny.
The letter of Mr. Richmond elsewhere
In this Issue, taken In conjunction with
those which have preceded It, gives one
a new Idea both of the immensity of the
resources of what we term the Canadian
Northwest and also a dearer concep
tion than most of us have had of the
extent to which those resources have
been brought within the range of mod
ern civilization. We dare say that
many of our readers, until the perusal
of this Interesting series of letters de
scriptive of the queen's American do
minions, have shared our own past
thought that the British Northwest
Territories were in the main dreary and
worthless stretches of uninhabited
land, tit only to figure In statistical
totals. This general American Ignor
ance Is In some degree excusable on the
plea that we have had a northwest ter
ritory of our own, the development of
which has quite sufficed to monopolize
our spare moments.
Then, again, It Is probable that many
of us have been too hasty In our gener
alizations with reference to Canadian
thrift and enterprise. The American
crossing over Into Ontario at Niagara
or again at Windsor, opposite Detroit
(the two points of greatest American
contact with Canada) is swift to note
the inferiority of the Canadian to the
American side, and to comment upon
the general appearance of stagnation
and Indolence on the one hand as con
trasted with the very evident Yankee
push and bustle and hustle on the other.
The deduction most frequently made
from these inadequate premises is that
all Canada Is down at the heel. Mr.
Richmond's letters, with their compact
statements of facts and figures gleaned
in the course of personal inquiry and
Investigation, disclose the utter fallacy
of such a deduction In application to the
great grain-growing province of Mani
toba and leave one Impressed with the
idea that here, at least. Is a portion of
American territory which by every rule
of reason ought one day to become a
part of the United States.
There are good reasons for doubting
the wisdom of an annexation move
ment at thia time. Canada, if left alone,
will herself make the first overture for
closer relations with the C'nlted States.
Her $50 per capita debt, her dwindling
population and her excessive and grow
ing governmental expenses are sure in
the long run to outweigh a sentimental
and largely artificial attachment to
Great Britain. The fact that she Is
synchronously affected by every trade
movement which affects us, and Is In
an increasing degree dependent on us
for her markets and. her wares points
only to one ultimate conclusion. In the
meantime, the development of her great
and promising northwestern territory
will simply add to the value of the al
liance which destiny Is slowly but sure
ly formulating.
It Is not generally known but It Is
humorously true that the present fed
eral statute governing the militia dates
tack to the first congress and requires
every private to keep at hand a certain
number of flints and every officer a
hanger and a spontoon. Probably not
one man In a thousand nowadays
knows what a spontoon was. It was a
small, spear -like staff, used by officers
In giving directions to their men. No
wonder Senator Hawley proposes an
overhauling of this law.
Well, let us at least hope to see Mul
berry street properly paved not later
than next summer.
To Contest Kentucky's Vote.
Just what the Democratic party
hopes to gain by contesting the elec
toral vote of Kentucky Is not clear.
Suppose they were enabled to prove
enough irregularities to unseat the
eleven McKlnley electors whom they
claim have been unfairly returned as
elected, that would still leave to the
Republican party 261 votes In the elec
toral college, or a majority of 75. Noth
lng whatever would have been gained
by the contest save perhaps the chang
ing of a few election bet stakes. Hut
there Is hardly the remotest probability
of a contest proving successful. Any
one acquainted with the different for
ces as they were recently aligned In
Kentucky must understand that an
overwhelming percentage of the proba
bilities of fraudulent returning lay with
the Bryan side. We do not say this was
true In every Instance throughout the
nation, but It certainly was true in
Kentucky as it was in most other
Southern states.
There the sound-money strength lay
mainly among the business and pro
fessional men In the cities' and among
the better educated wae-earners and
farmers, men not clven to the practice
of frauds at elections nor at the conniv
lng at frauds. On the other hand, the
free silver strength lay principally in
the Interior counties, away from the
railroads, the telegraphs and the public
schools; in localities where not only
is fraudulent voting possible but where
in such a campaign It is rendered prob
able ' by the general character of the
voters. It was In these districts that the
returns were held back, for days and In
some Instances for weeks; It was here
If anywhere, that the crooked work
was done. A contest by the Democrats
can hardly fall to do the plaintiffs
more harm than good, and therefore
might for partisan reasons be encour
aged were it not that It would estab
lish a vicious precedent and give false
encouragement to minority discontent.
We will confess, now that the elec
tion Is all over, that we had no expec
tation McKlnley would capture Ken
tucky, that his victory there was a sur
prise and that It took us until the com
pletion of the official count to become
assured of Its genuineness. We did not
credit the people of Kentucky with as
high an average of Intellluence as the
sequel proved that they possess. But
now. that the official count has been
announced, let It stand. A contest
would only Intensify the division be
tween the two parties and .make for
disorder. It could mt In any way
change any material result.

Tom Watson's Mission.
An Interesting open letter has been
addressed by William M. Watson, of
this city, to Thomas E. Watson, of
Thomas, Ua., the recent candidate of
the People's party for vice president.
In it he says:
Allnw me m snv that It seems to me
mill ninny others you tue perhups building
better than you are uwaro of, and uro
lay Int? foundations thut will not only work
ror noou to our common country uiu nen
taiju, but will in after years be a monu
ment to your pluck and encrgutln purse
verance. Lookinu ut your heroic efforts,
almost single-handed und alone, your
courage deserves some recognition from
your countrymen. All are not Indifferent
to your self-sacrificing efforts. Let me
specify more puittculurly a few points
wherein we believe that when you en
tered a protest against the hoary old
liuurhon D moci uoy or the nuutnern
states, you wvre as truly a mun of destiny
hs was the Immortal Lincoln, who gave a
B.icrlilHlul orteriiw ur himself ror his
country's rmise, ami who was raised up
by a devine hand to emancipate one race,
'e believe you have also n mission and
equul destiny to release the Southern
stutes from the t'hruldom of the despoils
southern Democracy, which has practi
cally disfranchised a great race through
tnat awrui nightmare or "Negrophobia."
No nutlon can or ought to survive such
barbaric wrongs as have been neruetrated
on the defenceless negro. You, my dear
sir, are doing and will accomplish the
very work that this government attempt
ed to do, but in vain; namely, the against
hatred and wrong of one-half of the legal
citizens of a dark color, who have in
name nt least, all legal rights before th
law and are subject to taxation and con
scription in time of war.
The letter further goes on to say:
While in Georgia last winfpi th vriltr
learned that you are also a victim of the.
same cruel ami tyrannical acts as were
practiced on the Republicans of the South
for long years past. Mv authorltv was
a Methodist minister, who declared that
you were elected as a member of con
gress and that had you had your rights,
you would now be a member of the lower
house at Washington. This Is hut lnir'.
al working out of the vile frauds practiced
and perpetrated on other helpless victims
of another color. We are glad that a re.
inouuve justice is on the heels of those
who have countenanced thnp frvm.iu u,.
forward, therefore, and run the pluw-share
of outraged Justice clean through the
solid South, which has not only defraud
ed you out of your rights, but many oth
ers, and has kept the Southern states
about fifty years behind the age ofprog
ress in which we now live. Go on, dear
sir: push the fighting all along the line,
and thus carry out your self-evident di
vine miFSlon of Emancipation. You will
i7 a ucunuciur in your uay and genera
tion; you have begun a irlorl.nw .
cary It forward to a final and triumphant
consummation.
We do not share all the local Mr.
Watson's enthusiasm In behalf of his
Georgia namesake, but there Is no
doubt that the political ripping asun
der of the solid South by the Populist
movement will In the long run provs
of Inestimable benefit, however dis
couraging may be the surface appear
ance of the revolution at the time.
We are taught by science that every
weed has its uses, every Insect its
value. We remember that Shakespeare
in one of his finest figures puts In the
toad's head a Jewel of great worth.
On these grounds we salute Tom Wat
son. McKlnley has lost Wyoming on the
official vote by 68 votes and South Da
kota by 194. Still, he will be inaugur
ated. Draw No Race Line.
A number of Southern turners, with
a view doubtless to embarrassing the
president-elect, are) urging the recog
nition of the negro race In the selec
tion of the next cabinet. The Washing
ton Post Joins in the demand, saying:
"It la our deliberate opinion that there
are many colored men of brains, cour
age. culture, and high personal char
actor capable of discharging the duties
of a abinet office with credit to them
selves und to the Incoming admlnlstta
tl'n. Mr. McKlnley could provide him
self in that respect without any great
difficulty, and there cati be no doubt
that In doing so he would discharge
an honorable and a conspicuous polltl
cal obligation.
Without calling Into question either
the ability or the deserving ot many
prominent representatives of the col
ored race, we think the proper view to
take of the duty of the president-elect
In the formation of his family ot of
ficial advisers and responsible lieuten
ants Is that he should choose for each
place the Republican best qualified
therefor, regardless of age, color or
previous condition of servitude. We do
not favor the drawing of a religious
nr a racial line In national politics,
and while the appointment of a negto
as a member of the cabinet might be
acceptable If he were clearly the best
fitted man for the place, It would estab
lish a precedent subject to future mis
interpretation.
We guess, however, that Major Mc
Klnley can be trusted to do the right
thing for all reasonable elements with
in the party or outside of it, without
much unsolicited advice.
The Wllkcs-Barre Tlms siys The
Tribune Is inconsistent In IU opposl
ib in to Mr. Wanamaker, but It doesn't
point out how. We oppose John Wana
maker for United States senator open
ly und above board, because we don't
think he is fit for the place. We like
wise think that Daniel H. Hastings Is.
Adding together all vofs for Bryan
and all those for McKlnley and sub
tractlng the smaller from the larger to
lal, McKlnley's plurality In Pennsy!
vanla remains at 296,070. By the same
process, Hobart's plurality is found to
be 301.13, because there were no votes
for Tom Watson In Pennsylvania.
It Is clearly the growing belief of the
state at large that Philadelphia by Its
long-continued and Inveterate factional
quarrels has forfeited Its claim to name
Senator Cameron's successor, and under
the circumstances should be satisfied
If It gets the next state speakership.
General Howard Is right. Spain's
war on Cuba Is wholly a question of
finances, so far as Spain Is concerned.
Mercy, justice and ordinary decency do
not enter into her calculations at all.
But It is probable that they will yet
enter into ours.
The massing of sentiment In favor of
fewer presidential campaigns Is pro
ceeding with great regularity. We
should not be surprised to see a six
year term amendment adopted within
the next decade.
Will there ever come a time In the
history ot Scranton when we may ex
pect a serious attempt to keep Lacka
wanna avenjo free from whirling Ut
ter and wind-tossed sand and dust?
Perhaps if this able energy which Is
being wasted on a fruitless Investiga

were devoted to cleaning the streets, It
would be Just as well.

Jlisf a Word or Tuto
of Castial Mention
"The people of this city do not know
and if they did know it Is not likely they
would appreciate what they owe to the
Scranton correspondents of the metro
politan dallies," said a well-known coal
operator and prominent member of the
board of trade a few days since. .My
business Interests require my reading the
metropolitan papers very closely and I
am almost everyday reminded of the fact
that tho Scranton boys who write for the
out-of-town papers hold tha city's wel
fare above a few extra dollars that might
be made by sensationalizing the minor
happenings about the city as they do in
some other places not a hundred miles
away. A drunken fight between a few
Hungarians could be turned Into a tierce
and bloody feud, or an every-day fall nf
roof might be pictured as an extensive
mine cave-In afflicting acres and engulf
ing two houses and a barn, or a breaker
boys' turnout on circus day might be
flashed forth to the news-greedy world as
a great strike, with mobs and torches and
martial law Impending, but to tho honor
and praise of the Scranton special cor.
respondent, let it be said thai he foregoes
the few dollars that this tempting kind of
work might bring him so that his city
may not be looked upon by the gullible
metropolitans as a place where you have
to carry a knife in your boot and where
you must be ever ready to suffer sudden
and sure Inhumation. These correspond
ents are doing more for this city by their
little sacrifices than has been done ry
all the costly fifke advertising schemes
that we have allowed ourselves to be led
Into in the last decade or so. I propose
to see to it that the board oftrade gives
due recognition to this most commenda
ble action In Its next annual report."

Ex-Clerk of the Courts Dolph Glennon,
of West Plttston, is a big man who also
has a heart In proportion, as this little
circumstance, related by the Kodak, at
tests, not to speak of many others within
our personal knowledge: Quite recently
the death of Patrick Ward, of Wilkes
Barrc, was announced. He left a wife
and live ehlidren. He had been a warm
friend of Olennon's. The only thing
Ward lett was a lot purchased of John
Lanlng and a house and lot bought of
Jonas iLong's Sons. There was a balance
due on both when he died. There was no
way in which the widow could raise the
money to secure full possession. Ulennon
knew something about the condition of
things and he went quietly to the owners
of the property and told them to make out
the deeds In the widow's name and send
them to her, he paying the balances due.
The amount Involved was In the neighbor
hood of J700. Ur. Ulennon will be sur
prised to see this notice of his generous
act in print. Hut he certainly is not re
