UIIIRID AT TI1R rOSTOPFICn AT BCtUNTON, PA., A3 BICOND CLAB9 MAIL MATTER SCUANTON, JAN17AHY 14, 1S97. Vu see no reason to doubt that Gov ernor Huntings next Junu will ousei vo precedent by reappointing Dr. Nathan C. Schui'ffer aupcilntenUeiit o public iiiHtriiL'tlun. He has been a first rale olllclul In every tosppct; Ills position Hhuuld be kept fiee from political Influ ences, uiul one good term In that olflc" certainly ineilts miothur. Practical Civil Service Reform. As was to have been expected, the vigorous remarks of Governor Black In New Yoik on the subject of ntactlcal us distinguished, liom theoretical civil set ee leform, have provoked n storm of criticism in certain (maiteis. The new executive Is accused of tieacheiy to the highest Ideals, is likened unto a I'Wllstlnu and Is anathematized In choice vituperation as a bold, bad spoilsman, and all simply because he gave voice to a little wholesome com mon beiibo In u matter too much con fused by sentlmentullsm. The incident illustiates how damaging to sanity Is mere fetlch-wotshlp; and offers a warn ing to Pennsylvania as well. Our ri'adeis will lcmember that Gov ernor Black simply asked the legisla ting to lit the civil sun Ice tests to the duties to be pel formed and suggested that wheic seveial put. sons are re turned as able to peifoim cut tain woik fot the state, the appointing powet should have the tight of choice among that number. This, lo an oidlnaty mind, would seem to be nothing mote than fair, teasonable and on a par with the principles which govern pti ate employment. The pilvate employ el, when .selecting an employe, tukes cognizance of other things than Intel lectual acuteness. As between one man with an examination giade of 83 and an ugly look and anothei w 1th u guide of only 00 but with the .stamp of honesty on his countenance, It Is easy to decide wheie ptivate ptefeience would fall. The point made by Gov ernor Block is that so long as the pub lic heivice Is assurei by law of a cer tain high standatd of etilciency the public may well jontlde some option of peisonal choice to the olllcials whom It elevates to executive lesponslbtlity, and we submit that he is cleaily light Intelligent public sentiment eveiy wheie demands a higher standard in the civil seivlce and lb ieady to smite those who peis-lstently thwait this de mand. But the lefoim which is sought In this dliectlon Is not an li (descent Vision of lotus-eateis but a plain, matter-of-fact adjustment of business con ditions combining etilciency of sen Ice with peisonal adaptation of sen ants In olllce. Theie has In the past been too much di earning and too little thinking among the piofesslonal cham pions' of this lefoim; hence they must not be binprlbed if ptactlcal men take the Issue up and solve It to lit haul facts. General Wcyler confesses that with the Cleveland admlnisttation he has no complaint, for It "has kept faith with Spain." It is a pity that it dons not keep faith Hist with its own countiy uii'ii. Concerning Party Primaries. Senator. Biown's bill to leform the pilmarles comprise., we cue told, the following main fentmes: He will make it the duty of the otllcers of the genei.ll election to conduct the pilmailes Tlu will rocelvr $1 pel day fiom the count) lieasiirei. At a Repub lican pilmniy the Democrats will bo a check on tliat paity niul at a Democratic pi!mai the tables will be turned. A pai ty that can huvu a prlmaiy under Senator Iliown's bill must have polled at least 5 per cent, of the lntgest vote cast tor state or national ofllceis at the last elep. tlon. This will bar out eveiy but the Republicans and the Beinnciats. The bill also lor bids the holding of two pilmailes on the same day The party having polled the largest vote at the piecedlng state election will be en titled to hold thu Hist primailes, The mhioiity paity, honevar, will be gtvon time to hold Its pilmniles within fifteen das of the legular time for holding the election The bill bnrx un elector from voting nt inoic than one pilmary If a person votes moie than once under this measuie hr N guilty of a mUdumeunor and is liable to fine of $300 Or thiee months in jail or both. Thin monsuie embodies somp good Ideas, paiticularly the stilngent pen nlty for lepeating and for the voting of Democrats at Republican primaries nnd vice veisn: but we aie not so sine that the bl-paitlsan bonul featuie Is advisable. A Republican pilmary is from inception to finish a republican affair, and Ueinociats may well be kept out of it. Befnie lesorting to the ex pedient of seeming Demociats to s)t In judgment at a Republican pilmary, suppose detoi mined effort first be made to cleanse that prlmaiy within purty lines. Wc cannot see why Democrats should be expected to have gi eater con cern for the, puilty of Republican pri mailes than Republlpans themselves. The ptesent primary law, however, would be ample for all piobable emer gencies If It could be courageously en foiced, If It cannot be or at least Is not enforced, what assurance have we that u new law would fare better? Senator Proctor Is light. The presi dential teun ought to bo lengthened to six yeais, and one term ought to bo considered enough. It isn't likely, though, that the change will bo made. A bill is to be Introduced at Albany which will provide that "whenever any servant or employe of a steam railroad company Hhall becoinej wholly or paitly disabled while In the discharge ot his duty, the coipoiatlon In Whose employ he was at tho time of his being dis ubled shall provide for his maintenance and support by assessing any and all dividends paid by said corporations, not proceeding 1 per centum per year, fv If no dividend Is paid , they shall ussesa and deduct from the gross earn ings of said epr potation u sum, not ex ceeding 1 per cenum per jcar, und should said sum ho deducted bo In bullicient then It felin.11 be luvvful for suld coipoiutlons to deduct from tlfti balarles of Its employes an amount not exceeding one-linlf of 1 ptr rcntuin per year." It will be Intt'i entitle; to watch the piokicfs of this bill through the New Yoik legislature. Senator Hill's bill giving fourth-class ifostmasteis a foui-year term except When lemuved for cause appeals to be fulr, AVe do not see why fourtli-class poslmasteis should not be put on un equal footing with other poslmusters as regurds length of term In olllce. Plngrce In the Saddle. Go vet nor I'lngiee's tecent message bristled with telling points. At the out set he demanded ladical lefoim In pil mary elections, saying: If we would Innugutnte leforms In our state government we must commence wheio the governing power originates, In paity organization mid conventions. 1 would lecornmeud that the political party caucus laws nlread upon our statute books bo so amended us to abolish party conventions. I'ndci a representative form of government the people should have free choice of their lepresenlntlves. Any obtsructlon lo such fiee choice should be icmoved. The convention has become the medium of trlckeiv, bribery and fraud. The higher criminal Is here developed. The direct vote of the ballot holder for party candidates Is tho simplest means of expressing prelen'iicp for lepre sentatlves. If the people make rnlstukes they nlone are to blame. The direct vote and the Australian ballot sj stem Is of less cost to the people than the convention system. His message embodied a number of suggestions with vjhlch his name Is al leady Identified In tho public mind, In cluding two-cent inllway fares, popular vote on iinnchlses, state resttlctitm of trusts, equalisation of taxation, etc, but It advanced also this new thought. We should be estiemely Jealous of tho leputatlou of our business Intel ests. All Investments should be given such gimi unty of bufcty by law as to lnspliu confi dence In those who deal with us. 1 recom mend that von iiicieifect the responsibility of the stockholder by milking him Indl- vidunllv liable for such debts as are In curred bevorid the uniount of capital ac tually paid In, at least up to the amount of the authorized capital of the coiponi tlon. In other words, when a corporation obtains atithorlt) to do business with a certain amount of capital, that capital should exist in good faith foi the seem It) of the ci editor. In lefeience to franchises the mes biige went fuither Into details than any pi lor deliveinnce of this Inteiestlng le formcr. It birggested seven specific conditions to govern the ginntlng of franchises to public coipoiutlons, namely: 1 Reseive the right to llx lates of tolls or chut ge. 2. Let the construction of the plant of every such coiporatiou be undei the su pervision of the municipality, so that the uctual cost shall be known. C. Provide, that no moi tgage shall be exe cuted and no bonds Issued to a greater umount than one-half of the actual cost of the plant. 4. Requite tho coipoiatlon each )ear lo Hie a sworn statement of its receipts and expenditures, eel tilled by a public, ac countant, who shall have access to its books. 5. Provide that there shall be no con solidation of one company with another, and that no individual stockholder of one company shall own, either dlrectlv or In dlrectlv, any stock In anothe compari) operating in the same city. 0. Provide that no franchise or license now existing or to be gi tinted In the fu tuie shall be lenewed or extended bevorrd the terms of the oilglniil giant dining the life of the original. 7. Provide that no franchise of the char- actei above enumerated shall be gi anted by an) municipal authority without being submitted to a vote of the people. Heie is a final "Pingieelsm" woithy of consideration: I would lecornmeud that no body of men be nllowed the privilego of incor poration without their free consent, ex pressed in the articles of incorporation, us in pait consideration for such pi Iv liege, that all disputes found Impossible of ad justment between employer and employe shall be lefeued to uibltiator It ceitnlnl)' cannot be fcald that Hazen S. I'lngiee, mayor of Detiolt and Governor of lllchigun, lacks the cour age of his convictions. An lllustiation of how easy it Is for popular rumor to ovei rate a man's wealth Is shown In the ease of Austin Coibln. When alive he was supposed by many to be woith from $30,000,000 lo $40,000,000. His estate amounts In fact to only $2,000,000. Popular lumoi I.s usually subject to from 00 to 05 per cent, discount. Separate Hospitals for Consumptives. It Is a blgnlflcant fact that the health boauls of both New Yoik and Phila delphia aie simultaneously uiglnsr upon thor lespectlve municipalities the necessity of piovlding btpaiate hos pitals for consumptives. Flguies nie at hand frojn both cities that stiongly suppoit this demand. In Philadelphia 10 per cent, of the deaths lecoided in 1S93 were due to tuberculosis, and this notwithstanding that the death late from this cause has declined since 1880 from u,lt8 In 1,000 of population to 2.101. This steady de ciease has been accomplished almost wholly among patients whom It has been possible to Isolate and Heat under favorable smioundlng conditions. In New York, accouling to a special tepoit just made public by the boaid of health of that city, substantially the same per centages aie tiue. But ulthough the leductlon in twelve yenis in the moi tallty from tubeicular diseases has been over 30 por cent., last yeai in Gotham out of 0,000 icpoited canes, 0,000 died. The lepoil continues: 'It is conservatively estimated that at least 20,000 cuses ot well developed and recognized pulmonaiy Ulbeicu losls now exist In this city, and an ad ditional large number of obscuie and Incipient forms of the disease. A veiy laige pioportlon of the former cases coiibtltute moie or less dangerous cen teis lor Infection, the degree of dan ger depending in each Instance upon the Intelligence and euie which aie ex eiclsed In the destruction of the expec tmution. It may be safely assumed that from the failuie to safely dispose of the Hputum of consumptives, from thlity to fifty Inhabitants of this city doll) become Infected by tuberculosis, and o these about one-hult later die from the dlbease. All this sufleilng and death, 111 view of modem scientific knowledge, we know to be largely pre ventable by the elllcient enfoi cement of simple, well understood, und easily applied methods of cleanliness, disin fection and isolation." The real danger from consumption. In the light of piosent knowledge, seems, then, to be moie In carelessness than In tho fatality of the disease Itself, Physicians every whole are demanding that those who have It be isolated and subjected to precautions similar In kind to those which are put round small-pox or typhoid fever patients. They claim that .vhen this Is done, in addtlon to Intelligent treatment, jo eover, Is i outlet oil apuioxlnmtely cei tnln, and thu stnllstlcs of deaths rui'l leeoveil' among Isolated patients bca'is them out, It Is only n iiuestlou of lime when every city, Hcrnnton ninong tho number, will have to main tain separate hospitals or at least sepuiiUe wauls for consumptives. It would be economy to do bo tit oncd. In thirty yeais Undo Sam has re ceived mot o than $1,000,000,000 In reve nue from tobacco. Those who use the weed are therefoic at least do facto patriots, since they help gteatly to sup poit their countiy. Mas It the Nerve? A manifesto lat'-ly issue- by the Cu ban Society of Judicial and Hconomlc Studies sheds light nn the llnnncial as pects of Spain's war lo subjugate Cuba It says: At the beginning of the war a debt of JlliO.OOi) U0O weighed upon Cuba, for which an annual Intel est of t12,S84,fi4'l was paid. Immediately upon the beginning of the war the Spanish government oxleied a special Issue of bonds, that vvele held 111 leserve foi the coin el slon of pun Ions obli gations Thus the Cuban tieasuiv was overbimleiK d with a Mew debt of $I2J, iVW.ODfl at 3 per cent, Interest, icpiesenting $il,li",00n annually. Spain has used up these lesources of our wealth In making war against us to mulntnln her oppressive supremacy She has Just negotiated an Interior loan of $30,000,000 at ft per cent , elcclailng that it will be paid by Cuba after the pacification, This lepresents an ad ditional burden of $4,000,000 to be paid an nually from the Cuban budget. In this manner, supposing that the expenses of the vvai ma) be kept within the limits ot otlklnl deelaiatlons,, the first noirnal bud get of Spanish Cuba will have to meet an annual payment of $21,000,019 solely for chin ges of this ovei whelming debt, which wluld be held entirely outside of the Is lind In oidei to appreciate nt a glance the significance of this Important fact, it Is siilllclent to icmember that In 1h5i7 tho cleai Income of the Island of Cuba vvus onl) S'W.COO.OOO. Is It likely that the Cuban lnsui gents after sustaining successfully two )eais of costly war, will now agree to a com piomlse with Spain which would ne cessitate the burdening of their stilck en Island vv Ith nn annual war Indem nity exceeding one-half of the Island's utmobt annual levenue In time of peace? Can the senior Ameilcan re public ask them to do this? Has It the nerve? Wo advise all persons Intel ested in hlstoiical study to lead Hon. Theodoio Roosevelt's loview in the Jnnuary Foi uni of Biook Adnnib' book on the "Law of Civilization and Decay." It Is not only a model ci Itlclsm, but also a wholesome lefutatlon of the fallacy which seems to bo spieadlng among top-heavy students, that mankind is fast going to the bow wows. Heulthy Amerlcunlsm owes to Mr. Roosevelt a vote of thanks. In 1S9G the number of suicides In this countiy Increased nearly 20 per cent, as compared with the year previous, or f i om o,75U to G,:i20. This Is a fright ful legacy of Demociutle haid times. The new governor of Kansas seems to be detei mined to earn his pay. Jtisf a Word or Tu)o of Casdal Mention Announcement Is again made that en unnamed sndleate of Penns)lvanla capi talists is about to establish an Immense plunt In an unmentloned place for the manufacture by a new process of coal bilcquettes. Under the new ptocess, it is claimed, the bilcquettes will bo fai super ior to coal us a fuel, and can be manufac tuied to sell much more cheaply. The coal dust Is tie.iled with ceituln chemi cals, without the uso of pitch or lesln, which made the old piocess so objectiona ble. Under enormous picssue tho coat dust Is compressed Into hard blocics or cubeb In sizes to coi i espond with coal trom chestnut to egg. The claim is made that the new product will develop heating iiuulltles from 20 to 25 pel cent, gi eater than nnthiaclte coal, while belling at from DO to i'J cents a ton lots, li will ue safe to await developments befoie becoming unduly agitated. -O- Jullus llallloux, well known In this city for sever ul )ears as an ndveitlse ment solicitor, llgmed In a novel episode at Wllllamsport nceoiillng to the follow ing which appealed In Tuesday's Phila delphia Inqulier "Paid Ills 'Crow' Bat: Feast of a Willlamspott Man Who Voted the Wiong Way.

From tho Philadelphia Itecoid, Tho flrst du) of the present session of tho leglslatuio was signalized by tho In troduction of u bill In the senate to cieato n depaitment of mining, with u commls. slonei, a deput) commissioner, forty mine Inspectors und a retinue ot clerks, Tho ostensibly benevolent object of this job is to ulfoid greater protection to the mln eis, who nie tifasumed to be too Ignoiant ami too stupid to talco care of themselves. It seems that the uuthois und udvocates of the bill aie not In the least appalled by the Jilghtful increaso In the losses of lite b) mining casualties, all ucLUiiing under the Inspection and supervision of tho state In tho face of all expel lence, tho bill befoio the leglHlatuie proposes to Ineiousu the eighteen mining Inspectors to the num bei of forty. It Is cotrceded that the in spector do not lnspecti und it is designed to help tho matter by putting over them n chief Inspector of values, with head quaiteis at Iluiilsburg, and with "-a salary of $.".000 a ear. Hut who Is to Inspect tho chief liiHpectoi ? Why, the state, and thus the vicious allele will again have been completed. Instead of p wing In uny way to protect the miners, wils bill is a pal pable Job for the purpc Jfc of making twenty-two places for pary dependents, at a salary of $3,000 a year each, besides tho chief commissioner ship and the deputy commisblonershlp, with 'her tidln of clerk.
