SCRANTON. DECEMBER 24, 1896.
Mr. Olney's case simply points anew
to the perils of a head swelled by a lit
tie brief authority.
The Problem of the Trusts.
In a number of places the suggestion
by the president In his recent message
that the several states provide supple
mental legislation auninst trusts Is
bearing fruit at least in a vigorous and
In the main wholesome discussion of
ways and means. There are localities,
of course, and these chlelly I'opulistie
where this discussion Is In the form
of a passionate and Indiscriminate as
sault on all forms of accumulated
wealth. l'artlct'iants In such a eru
sade are not unlike those savage tribes
that cure their sb'k by process of
summury assassination. I'.ut becausi
they (jo to Illogical and dangerous ex-
t nines Is not a reason why Intelligent
public sentiment should hesitate to at
tempt to remedy an admitted economic
evil nlonir common sense lines. As one
commentator on this subject Mr. Hen
ry Wollman pertinently remarks,
"What we want to stop Is not the
growth of wealth but the growth of
wealth by Illicit and Inequitable
means."
It Is out of the 'lower of legislators,
as It would also be contrary to wis
dom, to stop the co-operation of capital
working under laws of partnership or
Incorporation. No rational man who
give heed to the truths about him
would wish to see society turned back
to tin' period of Individualism. Clvill
z.'itlon Is co-operation: it Is only In
a state of savasery that there can be
a complete realization of the principle
of "every man for himself, and perdi
tion seize th" hindmost." The largest
single combination that we have In this
country today, ami perhnps the largest
In the world the Pennsylvania railroad
is an example of intelligently direct
ed 'o-operation without which Ameri
can civilization would be Inconceivably
poorer. There Is always reassurance
against an excess of commercial com
binations in the natural law which or
dt.lns that when the Held is overcrowd
ed the Weaker ones must go to the wall.
I'.ut there are some tliinss that can
be and ought to be done by legislation
for the protection of consumers and the
public generally. Tlv law which gives
life to corporation ) can with reason in
terpose against overcapitalization. It
can call for a fair appraisal of actual
Investment and decree that capital
stock shall not exceed that amount. It
can Indict for conspiracy any ollicer of
a trust who can bo proved to have
caused an artificial increase in the
prices of public necessities. It can pun
ish as well as fine for arbitrary restric
tion of labor. In other and more gen
eral words, It can say that the men
who rsk the state for charters giving
them certain public privileges must
not ufterward consider that their use
of these charters Is an unfit subject for
public scrutiny, and if necessary, public
regulation. It need not be feared that
In such restitution the wealthy combi
nations would get the worst of it. There
is nothing in the record of existing
governments to show that capital can
not upon the whole take rare of Itself.
These generalizations must sooner or
later be enacted Into law, nnd when
enacted must be enforced. The will of
the people points unerringly in this di
rection. There will be many practical
difficulties In the way: and it is pos
sible that roguery will prove sharp
enough to set at least pailly around
the most skilfully devised plans which
can be laid for the fiulillu'e protection:
but this must be thn general tendency
of law-making and law-enforcement,
and there must be sincerity In its work
ing out. Demagoguisin will alwnys ex
ist, but it cannot indefinitely nor even
for long prevail ngalnst the growing
enlightenment of the American people.
At its depth this ugltation against
BbiiF.ts of special privilege Is a moral
problem, and It has passed into an axi
om that in a democracy like our own
no moral problem is ever put aside un
til it Is solved on the side of right.
During all this war talk It must
strike the country us singular that It
has not been treated to a series of stac-
cato pi-ace shrieks from the president
of Harvard.
Secretary Carlisle's Report.
The press of more important matters
has kept us from giving earlier atten
tion to the annual report which Secre
tary Carlisle made public on Monday;
yet it even now merits some comment.
At its outset we are informed that the
revenues of the government from all
sources have been $409,45,408, and the
expenditures $434,678,654, which leaves
a deficit for the year ended June 30,
1896, of $25.20.1,24!:. The total estimated
revenues for the year ending: next June
are $407,793,120; the estimated expenses
$472,233,120. leaving an estimated de
ficit for that year of $04,1100,000. For
1898 the secretary estimates that the
present revenue laws, if continued,
would produce a deficit of $45.71S,970.
Mr. Carlisle attributes these deficits to
the hard times, but the common sense
of the people nttrlliuteg thrm more
largely to the bad tariff law now in
operation. The report Is a strong ar
gument for an extra session of con
gress and a prompt revision of the tar
iff along protective lines.
The secretary makes an elaborate but
familiar plea for the retirement of the
greenback and bolsters this up by
charging' to that Inoffensive form of
mmey all the ills which the treasury
ha to bear. It is not worth while to
follow him thrugh this special plead
ing. The average intelligence of the
people already perceives the danger
in a contraction of the currency by the
withdrawal of onf national paper issue,
and is by no 'means disposed to assume
new Interest obligations In order that
that Issue may be retired. A good
protective tariff will so buttress the
gold reserve that the much-abused
endless chain will cea&f'. ?Jaa that
X ' AT"
reserve dry and then the whole trouble
about which Messrs. Cleveland and
Carlisle make so much ado will be at
an end
In his plea for greater economy in
congressional appropriations the sec
retary will be cordially sustained, al
ways providing that economy shall be
Interpreted to mean a cutting down of
non-essentiuls and a liberal devotion
of public funds to essential purposes.
The real needs of a growing nation
must not be crippled la order to avoid
deficits caused by a bungling system
of revenue legislation.
The ' city of Huston, having; grown
weary of footing the Inordinate ex
pense accounts of lis councilmen, has
decided to give each of them a salary
$1,500 a year apiece to the members of
the upper chamber and $300 a year
apiece to the members of common coun
cil. The experiment will bear wutch
lug, but we fear the money spent on
salaries will for all practical purposes
simply be wasted.
A It geld Once flore
Governor Altireld or Illinois has not
bern chastened by adversity. When
asked what he thoiii.'ht of Olney's rul

to commend the secretary and the presi
dent 111 their present stand regarding
Culia.
There would probably be less sting In
this criticism if It did not have some
measure of truth In It.
The Washington Tost is mean enough
to suggest the need of a literacy test
for admission to congress. W hy not a

(jood Roads the Cheapest.
As supplementary to very Instructive
address of llencral Hoy Stone before
the board of trade last Monday evening,
a pamphlet prepared by Professor John
Hamilton, deputy secretary of agricul
ture, and published by the common
wealth, comes opportunely to hand. It
Is entitled 'Good Hoads for Pennsyl
vania" and it covers in detail the whole
subject of road-making and road-repair.
Copies of it may be had upon ap
plication to the agricultural department
at Harrisbtirg.
I'rofessor Hamilton points out that
there are over SO.000 miles of roads In
Pennsylvania, outside of the boroughs
and cities, and not Including the turn
pike roads under corporate control. For
the year ending with May, 18!l", these
roads cost the farmers of Pennsylvania
the enormous sum of $3,S!)S,.ri73.96, or at
the rate of $IS.7u per mile for every year.
No wonder General Stone Is willing to
pledge himseif to find experienced road
niakers who will agree to do all this
work, produce roads four times belter
than the present ones (and then they
would not necessarily be things to bras
ol) nnd pocket $"5,000 annually as a
profit.
The great hindrance to road reform,
lifter all. Is the question of expense.
Once let it clearly be demonstrated that
good roads are the cheapest, and the
battle will be won.
The repeated talk of a bolt In the
senatorial caucus at Harrisburg pre-
ceeils mainly from Wanamaker sources
nnd has an obvious purpose. Hut there
will be no bolt; at all events none
worth mentioning. The support which
will nominate Penrose In caucus will
elect him by a clear majority in the
legislature, even though every man in
the Wanamaker camp shall absent
himself. Just put this away for future
reference.
Unfair to McKinley.
The Tribune would be the last paper
In the country to wish In any way to
put needless embarrassment In the
pathway of the president-elect. We
do not believe that there Is any Kepub-
llcan in the United States who would
wish to do this. Major McKinley will
come to his new office supported by the
amplest confidence and the most sin
cere respect not only of Hepubllcaus
but also of most members of other po
litlcal organizations. This need not be
considered as open to the slightest
doubt.
Hut when this is said it Is not equiv
alent to saying, as some Republicans
appear inclined to think in relation to
the Cuban problem, that the people
wish all progressive processes of gov
ernment to be suspended until March
4. The assertion of the Phllailelidihi
Press, for example, that "we are now
In nn interregnum which counsels de
lay In taking a new departure," is fair
ly open to llat challenge. Kor every
practical intent nnd purpose the gov
ernment, and especially the legisla
tive branch, which more accurately
than anv other at present reflects the
will of the people, Is as thoroughly
bound to do Its whole duty now as it
will be obligated to do It four months
hence; und In the Immediate subject of
controversy the recognition of Cu
ban independence it is clear that to
defer action until after McKinley shall
have been Inaugurated would be to
subject an already over-a filleted peo
ple to cruel chances of further suffer
ing which prompt action would In all
probability avert.
That the president-elect should pre
fer to enter office with what might be
called a "clean slate" Is both natural
and creditable; but It Is another propo
sition to assert that his preference
should necessarily take precedence
over the will of an overwhelming ma
jority of his fellow-cltlzens. We think
better uf him than tu believe that he
desires congress to shirk its duty in or
der that he may officially guide its
performance of it later on.
The Chicago Journal is defiantly pug
nacious. "War," It boldly uflirms,
"would unite this people. It would
chase away the vapors of discontent.
It would exalt patriotism. It would
burn away the cancerous tissues of un
archy that threaten to extend deeper
Into the body politic. It would scarify,
but it would heal. In the end we should
be better off. Wrar would stlmulute art,
poetry, music, manufuctures.commerce,
trade, civilization. We should come
through It rejuvenated und rehabilitat
ed." According to this view it would
be to the interest of the United States
to be employed in a perpetual scrap.
The Journal's assertions have a good
deal of truth In them, but they badly
need qualifying.
Snys the Rochester Post-Express, a
Journal by no means given to careless
utterances concerning public men:
"From all that Is known of Mr. Ten
rose, there Is no doubt that If success
ful he will represent the Keystone
state worthly and well, in the federal
senate." We can assure our contem
porary that it Is right, and that Sena
tor Penrose w ill speedily rank among
the ablest younger members of the
national senate.
The foreign mess credits our minis
ter at Madrid with intimating to Spain
that the United States' may yet help
her to subjugate Cuba. We guess this
is a fake.
Jtosf a Word or Two
of Casual Mention
There is no time when a newsgatherer
Is so surely tempted to hire a good, uble
bodled. fearless swearer to do Justice to
his feelings us uu occuslons when, after
some crime Is commuted, he runs ufoiil
uf one of those small culllue Individuals
who seem to have the ubillty everywhere
to fasten themselves on the departments
entrusted with the preservation of peace
and hunting down of criminals. These
modern llawkshuws usually think the
criminal is quite as stupid us they are
After u burglary, robbery or murder Is
committed, and the newsgatherer 111
search of particulars ferrets out the of
ficer In charge of the case, or his su
perior, he Is frequently besought not to
print anything ubotit It, Why'.' If the
culprit leuds In the public prints of the
clime he knows that It has been illscov
ereil and he immediately proceeds to do
a disappearance act. That's what the
Sherlock Holmes will tell you. Could
unythlng be more Idiotic or senseless'?
When u inn n Is mixed up In a burglary or
rubbery he knows to u certainly that
within a few hours, the authorities will be
at work on the case und if his trucks ure
not fairly well concealed he puts as much
space us he can between himself and the
sceim of his crime. He does not wait lor
the newspaper announcements. To ar
gue that he will not become alarmed until
he reads the public prints is to say I ha t
lie Is even less bright than the man who
Is trying to capture him. If the criminal
was suspected and there was hope of cup.
turing him by withholding his name, It
would be reasonable und entirely proper
to do so, but us Hudyurd Milling would
say, that's another story.
We do not know what the actual at
tendance at the Sicveklng-UisphHir. con
cert was; but at a rough guess we should
say that there were not more than l00
persons In the theater, If there were that
many. In other words, out of a popula
tion In Scranton and contributory terri
tory of more than 200.IKK) It appears that
only about WW auditors could be mustered
to hear what without any doubt was
I he finest concert of Its kind ever given
In Northeastern Pennsylvania. Either of
these artists could singly, in any large
city possessed of an educated tuste for
music, command an attendance equal to
the capacity of the auditorium, not sim
ply for one conceit, but for many In suc
cession. It is therefore far from credit
able to this community that the two to.
gether could here attract less than the
uverage attendance lit a sparring match
or a dog light.

Aniong the modest Hcrantonlans pos
sessing true genius may be mentioned
Harry Thome, stage manager ut Davis'
theater, who is not only a clever panto
miinlst, but has also displayed great In
genuity In arranging surprising stage
tricks that delight young and old. The
Christmas pantomime which Is being pro
duced at Davis' theater this week, and
which is one of the most amusing ever
seen In Scranton, Is the creation of Mr.
Thome's active bruin und furnishes am
ple evidence of his originality. Proprie
tor Davis has shown rare judgment in
retaining this unassuming artist during
the entire season, us his efforts huve in
past contributed much to the pleasurable
entertainments given at this popular
house. "Little Hoy Hlue," Jlr. Thome's
pantomime, by the way, should delight
ithe children at Davls't theater lor a
month hence at leust.
Several appjlcantsfor naturalization
papers came before Judge 11. M. Kdwards
yesterday and they were subjected to a
very rigid examination us to their knowl

manner In which It Is conducted.
Where do they make laws for Penn
sylvania?" asked the Judge of one of the
candidates.
"In Scranton," promptly came the an
swer, with the assurance thut It was ab
solutely correct.
Well, we think we make laws up here
occasionally," said the Judge softly, as if
communing with himself, "but the trou
ble Is the Supreme court won't agree
with us."
As for the applicant, he will have to
brush up a little and try his luck at u
later period.

HOW TO HKI.I' flBA,
Walter Wellmun In the Times-Herald.
The Cuban Juntu In America Is hard
pressed fur ready money. How they have
managed to work along on their slender
receipts, contributed almost entirely by
the Cuban cigarmukcrs of the Florida
towns und the small Cuban colony in
New York, Is the mystery lo most per
sons at ull familiar with their uffairs.
The cigarmukcrs given 10 .per cent, of
their gross earnings every week, and It
must be a great hardship for some of them
to nart with so much of their income.
Various reports of large contributions
to the cause of Cuba by wealthy Ameri
cans huve been in circulation from time
to time, but I am assured there Is no
truth In any of them. The Junta has lived
from hand to mouth. It spent nearly all
Its money In a most economical way for
rifles, cartridges and dynunlte, and for
chartering ocean tugs to can.' munitions
to the shores of Cuba. It Is understood
here that even the Spanish authorities, j
who have plenty of money to hire spies
to keep track of whatever Is done by the
Junta, udmit that the money raised by
the dgurmukers is hone.-tly and effec
tively spent.
The Junta needs financial encourage
meat, and needs It very badly. If the
people of the United States who sympa
thize with the Cuban cause wish to do
something thut will be effective- und
timely In the direction of their sympa
thies, let them subscribe money. Enlist
ments arc of no avail. They serve only
to embarrass the Junta In Its work. A
dollar is worth more to them than a man.
If the people who puss long resolutions
of sympathy and the people who demand
war and talk of a bout with Spain, as if
it were u holiday picnic and a good thing
for business, were lo become really gen
erous and practical for a moment, tliey
would go down into their pockets for a
small contribution to the Cuban treasury.

will be undone. The election of Penrose
would simply put u younger gnay us his
