SCRANTON. DECEMBER 18. 1S96.
Congress does welt to repreas Its In
clinations touching Cuba until it has
the facts well In hand. Its conduct
thus far merits the warmest approval
of the people.
An Important Opinion.
We print elsewhere substantially
the complete text of the recent decision
of Judge McPherson, of Dauphin coun
try, confirming; the Scranton Gas and
Water company in its right to build
storage reservoirs near Gouldsboro' and
fill them from the Lehigh river in times
of freshet and hlsh water. The de
cision Is notable not only for Its prac
tical importance to this city in insur
ing at all times an abundant supply
of pure water, but also for its lucid and
sensible determination of certain legal
points which had never hitherto been
raised In an eastern court.
These points may be defined In the
court's language as follows: First:
Does mere rlsarian ownership Justify
the owner in diverting a part of the
flood-waters of a stream and carrying It
elsewhere for consumption, bo long as
the quantity diverted is too small to
affect even slightly the rights of others?
And, second: May this diversion and
consumption be authorised under a
grant of eminent domain; the stream
being navigable, the grantee being a
corporation supplying water to a city,
and the quantity taken being Inappreci
able by the persons complaining? The
opinion of the court as to the first point
is that the antilogies of this branch of
the subject are against an affirm
ative answer, although the court
concedes that such non-riparian use of
llood-wator merely as does no Injury to
lower owners presents points worthy of
further consideration. The decision on
the second question is emphatically In
the affirmative and In his elaboration
of It which ought on account of its
thoroughness to interest laymen as well
as Jurists he certainly establishes an
unassailable precedent.
The victory of the local company Is
very largely a triumph for its Indomit
able president, W. W. Scranton, but
indirectly It Is a victory by which every
resident of this city Is benefited.
It Beems Maceo foresaw the proba
bility of his death In Cuba's behalf and
left a letter recommending General
Rivera as his successor. Now, if ever,
Is Cuba's time to fight.
Quay and the Business Men.
The effort is being made In certain
quarters to spread the report that Sen
ator Quay has insulted the business
men of the country. Let us examine
the facts.
We pass for the present the service
he rendered Pennsylvania' business
interests during the making of
the Wilson bill, when if It
had not been for his voice
and work that vicious measure would
have smitten most of our industries to
the death, and we come to the immedi
ate pretext of the charge, his reply to
Thomas Dolan. In It It will be remem
bered he condemned the attempt of
"organised wealth," as represented in
the Wanamaker league, to "dictate
high office," set "class against mass"
and "erect a governing class." "Sena
tors," said he, "are needed who will act
for the Interest of the country In gross,
without special affinities." Lastly, af
ter denying that more than 10 per cent,
of the business men of the country
sympathize with the Dolan project of
a plutocratic dynasty, he concluded:
"There must be less business and more
principle In our politics, else the Re
publican party and the country will go
to wreck. The business Issues are
making our politics sordid and corrupt.
The tremendous sums of money fur
nished by business men, reluctantly in
most instances, are polluting the well
springs of our national being."
Such, In substance, Is the Quay plat
form. Is It not true? Does any sensible
man believe that it is to the Interest
of good government to add to the sen
ate's already large number of repre
sentatives of special monopolies? Have
not the Standard Oil company, the
Sugar trust, the transcontinental rail
way systems, and the Plerpont Morgan
financial Interests already secured as
ample a voice In the upper chamber of
congress as Is necessary for their own
protection and wholesome for the peo
ple? Is It not high time that the sen
ate received Into its select fold one
or two more members owing their elec
tion directly to the people and therefore
free, when in, to act untrammeled for
the general good? Does it Involve any
Insult to honest business men to say
that they should rest In legislation up
on a footing of equality rather than
monopoly?
We shall not discuss the question
whether Senator Quay Is sincere; it is
enough to know that the conditions of
his present emergency force him to
take a position in accord with the
predominant popular sentiment of the
period. He knows, and all other dis
cerning observers know, that if the
Republican party wants to survive an
other election It must show itself a
true friend of the plain people and not
a personal property of the big com
mercial combinations. The Business
Men's league of Pennsylvania, as now
constituted and directed, is nothing
more nor less than a political mechan
ism for the grinding at public expense
of well-glided private axes. It Is the
Quaylsm of old at Ita worst, with the
additional demerit that it sails under
false colors. It Is already debauching
the public morals by a gross misuse of
money on the one hand and by scandal
mungerlng on the other, and It repre
sents an affiliation which the self-respecting
business man? should shun.
Calling Quay names will not answer
his arraignment; and the -more' he Is
abused the. clearer It. will appear that
his shaft struck home.
Wa wonder If those ;' well-meaning
but misguided men who, In the name of
religion and morals, are condemning
Boies Penrose on the strength of un
fathered charges circulated by stealth,
have ever stopped to reflect upon the
ethics of their course. Where is the
character, however exalted, which
could hope to bear up against- such
assassin-like Insinuations? Who Is
the man. however good, that could
hope to escape sacrifice by such
contemptible methods? Is It not time
that the livery of religion were strip
ped from off those who employ It to
conceal the devil's work?
Remarks the Olyphant Record:
"Those who try to shoulder on Hon.
John Wanamaker's shoulders the Pen
rose defamation, are doing the honor
able merchant a great wrong. Weyler
planning to kill Maceo would not be
more despicable than such an act, and
a man w ho has stood before the public
so long, and done such noble work as
Mr. Wanamaker, would not stoop so
low." Have you yet heard any dis
claimer from Wanamaker?
What Cuba Needs.
In view of the continued reports from
all sections of the country of men who
want to enlist to fight in Cuba's be
half It may be well to emphasize the
fact that such action under present
circumstances would be illegal. While
contributions of money or of rifles and
ammunition are not contrary to the
law, section 5.281 of the revised statutes
of the United States imposes a. penalty
of $2,000 fine and three years' imprison
ment for acceptance of a commission
from a nation with which the United
States are at peace, and of $1,000 fine
for hiring M enlist in the service of
the enemy of a nation with which we
are at peace.
Furthermore, It Is not more men which
the Cuban patriots want. Says Senor
Quesada. the Washington representa
tive of the Cuban republic: "No en
listments are being made by authority
or desire of the Cuban committee in
this country. I wish to have It repeated
again, and as emphatically as possible,
that the revolution does not need men.
We have all the men we want. We
have 35,000 armed men in the field, and
have 60,000 more men we would like to
equip with rifles. If anyone goes about
the country enlisting Americans for
service In Cuba, pretending to have
our authority, he Is a swindler. We
have heard of several such instances,
where men secure enlistments, charg
ing the volunteers $1 each. It is safe to
ay all this money is appropriated to
the personal uses of the recruiting
agent. I have sent a number of tele
grains to chiefs of police warning them
against such petty swindling games.
We do not want recruits for several
reasons. In the first place. It Is con
trary to the law of the United States,
and we do not wish to violate the law.
Second, we could not transport the
men to Cuba If we had them. Third,
men are not needed In Cuba. We need
rifles, ammunition, medicine, quinine,
but not men. If anyone wishes to help
Cuba let him subscribe $1 through
some newspaper. If he cannot afford
$1, let it be a smaller sum. If we had
$1,000,000 Cuba would be free In sixty
days. Of this I am as sure as I am of
my own existence. While we appreci
ate the sympathy of the American peo
ple, as shown in these movements to
enlist, the practical way to help us is
with money. Everyone may be sure all
sums subscribed will reach the proper
disbursing agent and be accounted
for. We send a receipt for every dollar
contributed."
This Is clear, explicit and to the
point. It puts the Cuban cause on a
stronger footing than ever, showing
that It has respect for our neutrality
laws and that it does not countenance
attempts to violate them. That there
are swindlers in connection with the
Cuban movement in this country simply
adds force to Senor Quesada's sugges
tion that contributions be forwarded
only to central and duly authorized
committees prepared to acknowledge
each contribution with a receipt. In
other words. It Is money that talks.
The fact that Quay has 9 votes for
Penrose to 10 for John Wanamaker In
Alleghenycounty.Chris Magee's strong
hold, and a clear majority In David
Martin's bailiwick looks dark for the
"combine." The country districts are
where Quay counts his strength.
The Viaduct Not Dead.
We do not see why there should have
been objection to the submission to
popular vote of the question whether
the city shall Incur new indebtedness
for a West Side viaduct. It Is the ref
erendum in practice and would have
left the taxpayers of the city free to
decide the essential point at Issue in
accordance with their own wishes.
It Is true that the viaduct proposition
was voted down only a year ago; but it
is also true that It was then subordin
ated in the public mind to bitter mayor
alty struggle and did not receive a fair
hearing before the people. This com
ing February election would have en
abled the public to pass upon It In com
parative freedom from distracting par
allel Issues; and the decision thus ren
dered would doubtless have been final.
The viaduct is an admitted necessity
provided If can be built within reason
able cost and without working too
much hardship to property Interests
along Its route. The new plan of pur
chasing a rlsht of way on the south
ern side of West Lackawanna avenue
between Seventh and Kith streets
obviates past objections and offers a
practicable, advantageous and effective
public protection against the dangers
to which drivers and pedestrians are
now liable at this point by reason of
the numerous railway surface cross
ings. The viaduct is not dead. It will yet
The Scranton Truth last evening
printed a holiday number of 28 pages
about equally divided betwen adver
tisements and original or selected
reading matter appropriate to the sea
son. It was an excellent production
of the kind, and shows that the Truth
Is well grounded In the esteem of Its
many patrons, as. Indeed, It deserves to
be.
Our friend, Mr. Beecher, of Archbald,
'says If the Baldwin affidavit Is all we
have against John Wanamaker we owe
him an apology. We do not see It In
that light; but for Mr. Beecher's In
formation we will say it Is not all.
The man who acquiesces in bribery and
slander in his interest Is not a fit man
for United States senator, even if he
does not himself peddle the boodle or
personally circulate the libels.
The death in one week of two such
amusement purveyors as the younger
Salvtnl and the magician, Hermann,
Will leave a gap In theatricals. Of the
two Salvlnl had the higher aim and
the more serious equipment, but each
in his way helped to make life pleas
ant bv affording temporary escape
from routine worrlments, and to each,
therefore, civilization is indebted.
If senators were elected by a direct
vote of the people, the people might
occasionally get humbugged, but it
would be their own fault. They couldn't
be sold out.
Jtist a Word or Tu)o
of Casual Mention
Alderman O. B. Wright, the quiet, tinas.
sumlng magistrate of the Ninth ward, is
a -veteran of the late war and did gallant
service for his country at Antletam and
other hard-fought battles. He cannot
often be decoyed Into relating reminis
cences of the days when the country was
divided against Itself, but when he is
Induced to talk of war days he tells some
mighty Interesting stories. Alderman
Wright Is not the only magistrate of the
city who fought for Uncle Sam during th
late unpleasantness. Alderman DeLacy, of
the Seventh ward, entered the army at
the outbreak of the war and won a cap
tain's commission by hit devotion to duty.
For heroism on the field of battle his
country conferred a medul of the Legion
or Honor Upon him. Alderman Fuller, t f
the Sixteenth ward, dons not look like a
man who would love the battlefield, for
he is on 4 of the most pacific sf men, but
when his country Issued its call for troops
he promptly went to the front. For
months he served with the signal 'corps
and his adventures while a member of that
Important arm of the service Would till a
good-sized book. Alderman Howe, of the
Seventeenth ward, was also under fire
during the war, and If Alderman W. S,
Millar, of the Klt'hth. had been old enough
it Is only reasonable to suppose that he
too would have shouldered a gun and
marched to the front, for he has a strong
liking for military life. He was adjutant
of the Thirteenth regiment for years and
resigned to accept the position of brigade
Inspector on General Gobln's staff. The
constantly growing demands on his time
made by hla duties as alderman com
pelled him a few months ago to resign the
latter position.
Mayor Bailey returned yesterday after
noon from New York and he told of his
experience In the great snow storm which
fell upon the metropolis. Mrs. Bailey ac
companied him, and when they left Scran
ton Wednesday morning the weather was
fine here, although It was quite Cold.
When the train reached Hoboken, even
then there was no indication that the
storm had been so extensive across the
North river. The ferry boat had to breast
a heavy gale In getting across, and It
puffed and tugged with much difficulty.
Arriving on the other aide a cab was en
gaged, only after considerable delay, to
bring them to the Westminster, which ha
come to be regarded as a Scranton hotel.
The street cleaning brigade was out In
full force getting the thoroughfares In
passable shape. Business was pretty
generally blockaded, and when the mayor
left for home things had not resumed the
normal condition. The worst effect of the
snow was completely to paralyse surface
transit, and only for the elevated roads,
which were less handicapped, the multi
tudes of people in New York would be in
a bad fix for a few days. It Was the Se.
verest snow storm sines 1888.
The aggressiveness of Vf. W. Scranton
Is proverbial. Like the bright lexicon of
youth, he knows no such word as fall,
He knew the Scranton Oat and Water
company would win the suit over the Le
high river. It might not win it at the out.
set, but that It would eventually win It
he was fully determined. His attorneys
cautioned him against over-confidence,
but he heeded them not. The possibility
of defeat never found lodgement with
him for an instant. All the while that the
case was being argued and during the
ten months that it took Judge McPherson
to make Up his mind about a decision, Mr.
Scranton was spending $63,000 on water
works that would go for naught If the
decision was against him. The Gas and
Water company won the suit, thanks to
the good Judgment of Dauphin's celebrat
ed Jurist, and the proceedings caused the
company not a day's delay to their im
provements, thanks ' to the aggressive
ness of its doughty president. When W.
W. Scranton starts out to do a thing, that
thing will be done.
In his lecture the other night on "The
Monuments of the World," Rev. Dr.
Dixon related that over the grave of ev
ery Turk a young cypress tree Is planted,
and added with all the patriotic fervor he
could command, "and If I had my way
every Turk today would have his address
Indicated by a cypress tree." There was
a pause by the reverend doctor, but noth
ing happened. Then In a sort of on-the-side
voice he continued, "I told this same
thing to some school boys out in Dakota
once and they applauded to the echo. I
told It again at gathering of older folks
in Chicago and they did not even conde.
scend to give a faint clap. At another
time," but the doctor could get ho
farther. The torpid audience, made so r.y
the "grave" subject of the lecture, woke
up and by Its rafter-shaking applause told
the reverend speaker "them's my senti
ments, too.'
Already more than a score of Scran
tonlans are planning to attend the open
ing of the next legislature at Harrisburg.
They are attracted there in part by the
prospect of a lively fight over the senator,
ship and in part because there Is to be
some fun In the organisation of the house,
In which Lackawanna as usual may have
a hand. Penrose and Wanamaker head
quarters are already open In the state capi
tal; Senator Quay promises to be on
hand ten days before the dropping of the
flag, and a dozen other headquarters or
reception rooms will soon have the politi
cal latch string out. Altogether the out
look presages rare amusement for thoss
who relish that sort of thing.
The announcement of the sudden death
at Salamanca, N. Y., yesterday morning
of Magician Hermann was a great sur
prise to the people of this city, who saw
him one week ago last Monday night in
the Frothlngham. He appeared then to
be In the best of health and looked as If
he had many years yet before him. The
passing cf Hermann removes from the
stage America's greatest magician, one
who entertained and mystified thousands
and made innumerable people believe he
was In Ipague with the evil one. for in no
other way could many credulous ones ac
count for the wonderful feats Hermann
performed on the stage.

THE NEXT SENATOR.
From the Harrisburg Patriot.
Senator Penrose's -claims for a seat In
the United Slates senate are set forth In
an interview given out last evening from
his headquarters by Senator Thomas. "It
Is generally conceded by the people of
the commonwealth Irrespective of political
parties," aald Senator Thomas, "that the
next United States senator should come
from Philadelphia, I believe that the best
equipped man by reason of his education,
his experience as a legislator and his un
flinching devotion to the doctrine of pro
tection to American labor is Boies I'en.
rose. He will be supported by a majority
of the members of the legislature from
Philadelphia and he won before the peo
ple as an avowed candidate for the United
States senate. Some of the tactics em
ployed against him were the most das
tardly ever used against a candidate in
the history of politics of Pennsylvania,
but notwithstanding these unscrupulous
methods, he received the endorsement of
the people of Philadelphia as represented
by a majority of the members of the leg.
islature from that city.
"Senator Penrose possesses every
qualification for becoming a great states
man. His experience In the legislature
and profound knowledge of parliamen
tary law and practice will immediately
place him In the front rank of parlia
mentarians in the United States senate.
The fact that he Is hi direct touch with
the Republican organization In Pennsyl
vania will give him a commanding in
fluence In the counsels of his party when
national affairs are to be considered. Pre

quently been recognized by states whon

Quay, and other prominent members of
the United States senate had their early

nent qualification for their promotion and

strongest advocates of protection to

state."
ONE DECENT AVENUE.
From the Chicago Times-Herald.
"Sensational Journalism" has been so
generally decried because of Its most
offensive developments that. In Justice,
it should receive a word of approbation
when Its activity takes a plausible di
rection. Recently the board of alder
men of New York passed an ordinance
giving away a gas franchise worth $10,
uoO.Ouu. Corruption was suspected and
a very general protest went up from the
public. But It remained for a sensational
newspaper to reduce the Indignation to
practical action. Mr. Hearst's Journal
applied for and secured an Injunction
restraining the mayor from signing the
ordinance and the board of aldermen
from passing It over his veto if he should
veto It. This Is something more than sen
sational Journalism. It Is a great public
service, intelligently executed, and It
loses none of Its brilliancy through the
advertising It gives the newspaper. No
one not a rival of Mr. Hearst will grudge
him the thanks of the community and
such pecuniary reward as he may gain
Indirectly from his enterprise.
It would be a great relief if the "new
Journalism," as It Is called, would more
often turn Its attention to undertakings
of this nature. Inherently there Is no
crime In sensational newspaper making.
All newspapers from the New York Post
either way are sensational. They owe
their existence to the universal craving
of mankind for novelty. A newspaper
can be extremely sensational and still
preserve a tone of good breeding and re.
main truthful and decent. The public
likes pictures. It likes to see Its news
"played up" In striking fashion and It
has an entirely unobjectionable admira
tion for the theatricals of Journalism
such feats as MacQahan and Stanley per
formed, such enterprise as the London
Chronicle's employment of Dr. Nnnsen.
These are the undertakings that give a
lively newspaper permanent success.
Enterprising Journalism Is most success
ful when it abandons puerility and nastl
ness and devotes Its abundant energies
to undertakings remote from the portray,
al of crime In a manner rather worse
than the subject. There is still some
hope for the sensational press of New
York when it Is not content to lie forever
In the wallow of vile obscenity that Is Its
customary bed.
MR. HANNA'8 CENEROSITV.
The editor of the Troy Press tells this
story about M. A. Hanna: "Last sum
mer during the progress of the cam
paign, when Hanna was abnormally act
ive, he was Informed that one of his
corps of bookkeepers was about to be
married. Hanna at once sent for him,
and asked where he Intended to go on
his wedding tour. As the young man'
was poor, he timidly replied that he did
not expect to make much of a trip. 'How
would you like to go through the great
lakes and return on one of my boats?'
pursued the magnate, kindly. 'Very
much,' the bookkeeper replied, brighten
ing up, 'If I could be spared so long.' 'I
will give you a vacation and a pass,'
Hanna said, as he sent the young lover
away rejoicing. Hanna went to the cap
tain of one of his finest boats and told
him to give the bridal couple the best
quarters and every attention without
charge. 'After you are well out from
shore,' continued Hanna, 'hand the bride,
groom this envelope, with my compli
ments, and tell him to have a good time.'
The envelope contained $200."
