To this Just rulo wo cannot hereafter make exception. Of Doubtful Utility. "We must confess tlmt we do not fully understand the purpose of tlio Mitchell bill to establish a state excise commission which was yesterday fa vorubly reported In the sennte. That measure has for Its ostensible object the better enforcement f the liquor luws of the stute, but slnre It authors Izes no ehanije In the license grunting power, It appeara to be of nt letiat ques tionable utility. The bill provides for the appointment by the uxiveiuor of an excise commis sioner at Jtf.COO u year and expenses up to Jl.L'OO; a deputy at $2,000, with equal expense allowance; a secretary at ?1,50U and miscellaneous cleilcal help. It Is further pioposed to have a deputy com missioner of excise In every city of the llrst and second class at a salary of $2,000 per year, his tilllre to lie equipped with such clerical force as may be nec essary. The commissioner will nlsu ap point live special aKents, at $1,20U per annum and expenses. They will act as confidential representatives of the com missioner, to investigate matters con cerning the liquor trulllc. Together with all deputies and the commissioner himself they will have authority to en ter any place where liquor Is sold at tiny time and make any examination which they deem necessary. Where they deem It requisite they will desig nate the county attorney or any attor ney to act with them and receive such fees as may be agreed upon. It is ai'Kiied that the creation of such a commission would render possible a stricter enforcement of existing stat utes which are now In some localities persistently and openly violated, and largely Increase the revenues of the various counties, boroughs and cities by compelling speak-easies to take out li censes. In older to raise funds for pay ment of the commission's expenses It Is proposed to exact a large license fee from all clubs, societies and associa tions that sell liquor to their members, this to go into the state treasury. These are the claims presented in the bill's behalf by its sponsors. Hut it is by no means clear from these representations how they are to be worked out to a successful realization Wo are inclined to favor a complete transfer of the whole license problem from the. judges to u state commission similar to that creatfd by the Haines law; but we don't see what is to be gained from a public standpoint by a division of re sponsibility between judges and com missioners, with each ready to throw the burden on the other's shoulders. If Representative Coray's bill to ad mit to naturalization In Pennsylvania no alien unable to read the constitu tion of the United States In the Eng lish language and pay his own natural ization expenses were to pass, It would cause quite a slump In the business of naturalizing illiterates for the purpose of stampeding their votes, lint that would cause very little grief. The measure Is so obviously gooa as almost to destroy hope of Its success. Much Ado to No Purpose. The T-exow anti-trust committee- of the New York state senate has present ed a formal leport of Its findings In the matter of harmful trade combina tions, but It is a report which sheds little new light on the subject. At the beginning it recognizes as advantage ous "combinations of capital startlnp; Willi small partnerships and terminat ing with large aggregations, based on corporate organizations representing the contributions of Innumerable stock holdeis to a common land, thus Invest ing for the purpose of reaping the re ward arising from economies growing out of the concentration of resources, and the employment of the best skill, the highest Intellect, the most approved machinery and the most qualified la bor" a concession offering ample standing room. It finds specific cause for complaint In the present tendency toward over capitalization, stock-watering and re stilctlve secret agreements with cus tomers, but laments that It is not with in the power of any single state to ap ply eifectlve legal remedy and says the federal courts "have placed so nar row a construction upon the limits of their authority that In the absence of a constitutional amendment little or no relief may be expected from that quarter unless the Supremo court of the United States shall greatly modify Its conclusions." The report analyzes the lecent decision of Judge Swayue concerning tho Texas anti-trust luw nnd concurs In its assertion that tho constitutional freedom of contract may not be Interfered with unless accompa nied by or resulting In acts of oppres sion or In restraint of trade which trei oh upon the constitutional liberty nnd pilvlleges of others. Coming to more definite terms, the re port suggests that It may be advisable on the- granting of corporate charters to Impose limitations upon the volume of stock to bo Issued; but It ulso points out that In the absence of similar pro visions In the laws of other s'ates a discrimination would exist, Injuriously affecting domestlo corporations. Ue nioval of Inequalities now existing be tween domestlo and foreign corpora tions Is demanded. The report adds: "As to foreign corporations In the na ture of monopolies, provision may he mudo for the refusal or revocation of licenses to transact business In this state. Hut this would seem to ho too radical a remedy In tho absence of a judicial determination that a monopoly In fact exists. Another suggestion which should, however, be carefully considered would be to Invest the citi zen, under proper restrictions, with the light to maintain a chit action ngalnst such corporation and Its agents, pro hibiting the continuance In this state of acts or the transaction of business under the system nnd by the methods criticised In this respect." In order to facilitate Judicial Inquiry Into sueclllp nets violative of existing laws It Is proposed to Invest the attorney general "wth ample power for the examination of witnesses under subpoena to bo Is sued, on his application, by a justice of the Supreme court, conferring the constitutional guarantee of absolute Immunity on those testifying and pro viding that such examination shall be had In the presence of a justice, nnd shall be conducted pursuant to the usual rules governing the admission of evidence to be applied by such justice, the testimony when taken to be filed In the olllco of the attorney general." 'In conclusion we have these generali ties: Political oppression is the refusal or equal rights; commercial oppression Is the denial of equal opportunities; both are repugnant to the people. The spirit that resisted tho one and wrote the shib boleth of equal rights Into the orgunle law of the nation will not permit the other to take enduring root by tolerating the substitution of monopoly for equal oppoitunlty. The field should be free to all. In tho conflict of commercial rivalry genius, labor and capital should have the largest libel ty of expansion and employ ment ami the oppoitunlty of entrance Into every field of Industrial activity. No one Intel esteil should be permitted by unliilr and uppicsslve methods to build an tin uicgimble troclui aiound any Industrial pin suit unci ret Its claims to special privilege on abuse of power or concen trated wealth ot abnormal magnitude. The law which protects the Individual In the acquisition and use Of property and guar antees to lit in the smallest opportunity for Its enjoyment couples with tliN pro lection a Kiiaraiitce and condition th.it such use shall not be oppressive. And too statute which permits the combination of the resources of many Into one pteMip puscs that the peirnls-slon to combine shall not operate lo the prejudice of public In terests. There Is a maxim ns old as civili zation itself Illustrating the proposition that sacrnd right of contract and the 'In cidental privilege of combination are both subject to the qualification that they shall be exercised so as not to prejudice Hie rights of others or the Interests of the people. These words are grandly true, but the I.exow investigation has brought forth no plan by which they can be en acted into vital law. According to the recent city assess ment there are "S.01 1 tnxables In Scran ton. To arrive at tho population It Is customary to multiply a city's number of taxables by three. This would In dicate that the piesent population of Scranton Is in the neighborhood of 110,712. It Is believed that this Is very near the truth. An Act of Peace. That is an interesting example of British promptitude In the assertion of British authority when needed to In sure due respect for British citizen ship which the Sun cites for the guid ance of our own government Irr Its policy toward Cuba. "Not long ago," it says, "a civil war broke out in the South American repub lic of Uruguay, which is a much smal lqr country tlunr Cuba, though Its chief city, Montevideo, Is much larger than Havana. As soon as the queen's gov ernment heard of the outbreak, a Brit ish cruiser, bearing the name of Retri bution, was ordered to proceed to Uru guay, charged with the mission of pro tecting British subjects nnd their prop erty at Montevideo. The Retribution Is yet on duty there, awaiting develop ments. Mr. Baling, the British min ister to Uruguay, desired Its presence, and the fullllment of the desire came immediately after Its expression. Min ister Baling sought protection, not from the authorities of Uruguay, but from his own government; and he got It by steam. The Uruguayan govern ment did not take offence at England's conduct In the case; but regarded It as within her lights In a time of war." The right of any nation to station a war ship in the port of any other na tion where local disturbances threaten Injury to Us citizens or their property Is llrmly established In International law and Is wholly within the proprie ties of friendly diplomacy. The only point to be considered in a given emer gency Is whether it will do more harm than good. In tho case of Cuba It might excite ill-feeling among the ignorant classes In Havana and in Spain, but If the ship's guns hud good carrying power, this would probably soorr yield. At all events our llrst duty Is to our' own peo ple. Whenever their Interests require a war ship ut Havana one will be serrt there; ami the best Judge of the situa tion In Havana naturally should be the American consul-general there. What a strange ambition Is that of William i It. Hearst, the multi-million-alre owner of the New York Journal. lie actually seems anxious to bo known as the publisher of the most Indecent dally paper in the world. (iet the 15est. 'Amidst the vast quantity of nonsense which has been printed In reference to the recent action of congress In cutting down the pi lee of armor plate to $20u a ton, it Is refreshing to encounter one gleam of common sense such ns. the fo.'.iwlng from the Chicago Times-Herald: "Tlu re Is no doubt that iho secretary can I.uy armor at that rate, and also very much lower than that, which when put upon our vessels would make them about as safe as If they were atmored with pasteboard. Tho llrst steel ball that .struck them would sink them like so many Iron pots. If It is a cheap navy w'e want this Is the kind of legislation wo should have In order to procure one. When Is It that con gross will leurn tnut'lt Is not cheap things that the American people want, but the best tlur.gs? What u penny wise and poind fc.oilsh scheme It would be to build shiiif tl.ut would sink Jhe minute a gun wns Ilred against them! What a wicked thing It would be to send our brave sullors to Bull them or (o light aboard them!" Why should not the secretary of the navy be empowered to 'use his discre tion In pun-busing armor plute, so that he can fit the price to the quality, and not be forced to accept such a quality us the manufacturers may regard ns flttjng the price? General Harrison's delicacy In declin ing to boom his bop's candidacy for a, federal appointment Is wholly to his credit. The Harrison family has al ready had generous recognition. TIip Kmpoiia, Kansas, Gazette, which stirred the cranks up during the cam paign, Is now devoting Its lusty atten tion to the croakers. "The McKlnley administration," It says, "may make some men who have their money In snfcly deposits vaults bring It out and put It in tho market. But the McKln ley administration will do nothing to make It easier to save a dollar than It is now. That Is temperament In the Individual, No law can make ft man rich who was born with tt desire to spend $1.10 nnd earn $1 a day. Ev ery man In the long run chooses his own condition. He can be poor and generous and happy or rich and 'near' and wrapped up In greasy bank notes. It's all one ten duys after the funeral." Senator Mageo evidently sees no rea son why ho should be out of fashion: hence his resolution asking congress to cancel tariff protection to trusts. If this keeps up the aggressive Alleghen lan may yet Join the bourgeoise in blouses. 1 ii Minnesota the legislature Is wrest ling wltlr a bill to organize a state bu reau of phrenology to feel the people's heads. What Is needed most is a club for the bill's author's head. . The "patriarch" of the senate Is now Senator Stewart uird Us "baby," Senu tor Penrose. The baby, by the way, appears to be an exceedingly active In fant. The reports which represent Presi dent McKlnley's backbone us being Irr a healthy tensive condition are most gratifying. More power to It! If It shall be necessary to replaco Consul General Lee at Havana with a Republican, whut Is the matter with appointing Murat Halsteud? As an offset to the present crush for place jiuit fancy how (President McKln ley would feel If he wore unable to llnd moil enough to ga round. Says the Philadelphia Press: "No 'pressure' exists for olllces except nt Washington." The Press overlooks Lackawanna county. Spanish clemency Is a very beauti ful and touching spectacle when Spain Is scared. The thing for Spain to do Is to sell Cuba and go out of the tyranny busi ness. Rmpiifafing the Nose to Spile the Face "Perm" In Philadelphia Bulletin. The bill before the New York legisla ture prohibiting newspaper cartoons or the portrayal of the face of any pel son without his consent N one of the signs of .some reaction against the cheap John Journalism tlui explores the sewers and the gaibage boes of society. It is 111 part the outcome of the disposition to check the enterprising and uuiI.icIoum dal ly in New York, which now illustrates crime with a fidelity to detail tmap proached by the Day's Doings of the Police Clazetto In their worst duyH, and which converts the visages of public men Into howling monstrosities. There is re ported to be a strong and well-defined movement at Albany In favor of this re markable and, In this country, unprece dented prohibition. Governor Black and divers other persons, called from out of obscurity to engage la propping up the body politic, complain that their reelings have been lacerated by the pictorial ribaldry of the press; and hence 'the bill of pains and penalties. I have no thought of apologizing for1 the mass of slush through which is dally floated along the gutters of license all the pickings from the dunghills of vice, or for the brutal Insincerity of the cartoon which degiadc.i or ridicules a man with no higher motive than tho elownishness of the small boys who sometimes raise a commotion by their tioatment of the figures of the pub lic's favorites on the theatrical posters ct' n dead wall. Hut the newspapers which habitually and systematically practice these InfamlcH are not more numerous to the ir ess as a wiiolo than the doctors who practice abortion defending themselves because there Is a demand for it are to the cicun-lianded men of medicine or than tli purveyors of tainted meats are to the dealers In wholesome food. The men who raise clamor over either likenesses or earlcatuics arc usually among the half-starved and sensitive in tellects of public life. A big, lobust chur ucter lit for public employment seldom llnds distress for himself In these things. When Cromwell gave r.ely ills famous In structions while sitting for his portlalt, "Paint my face as you find It, waits and all," ho spoke as one who knew that he bad something more to offer for admira tion than the shapeliness of his visage. No man was ever mole roughly used by the cartoonists than Abraham Lincoln. Ills homely face easily lent Itself to their pur posed) without much exaggeration. In some of l he Dtmocratlo prints of 1SC0 lie was represented as a baboon or a wild man of the west. But he had the common sense of a great mind in laughing at them, and never thought of calling out for a censor. Grant was p'lctured ua a butcher, like Weyler, as a clown and a sot. I recall a cai toon of .Matt Morgan's, which leprescnted him at Long Crunch us the summer capital, seated on a throne, a diunken leer on ills luce, his hat tipped back, a cigar stump 111 his mouth, whisky bottles by his side, bull pups at Ills leet uud some of the best men lu the country standing around him half drunk, us If pandering to his vices; but Uraut saw linndieds of like plctuics without a mur mur. Horace Gieeley had an unusual liluiie of them, for he had the mannerisms and peciillailtles which made him a shin ing mail; for Nust In- Nast'a best days; but Greeley, doubtless, had not forgotten tho time when he, as u youiiK man, pub lished The Log Cabin; how he had cail catuied Van Itureii in 1SI0, uud how he held him up tu ridicule as a fox and a juggler. If a law inay lie enacted forbidding t lie press to uso the plctuio of a man without his consent. It may also Just as well for bid the use of his name, unless on the sumo condition. If It may stop the deline ation of IiIb person In a cartoon, It may be equally justified Irr stopping the discussion of his character orr the editorial page. And yet, the cartoon for u century has been one of tho most potent weapons in England and America for doing away with abuses und keeping olllcluldoru In good or der. Scratch the man who cries out loud est against it, and you are nearly certain to llnd some taint of public nieaimejs or roguery below. Papers like "Puck" und "Judge" exercise a tieiuendous power over nil classes. Among all the several causes that have been given for the defeat of Mi. Blaine for tho presidency In 1SS4, none was more contiibutniy than aillam's awful but striking picture of "The Tattooed Man" In Its effect on tho popular Imagina tion. These things, even ' when unfair, enhuot be prevented by Ellsworth bills; the present libel laws give ample loom for vindication, and to shut off enrtoops granting that the consummation were at all possible would be to deprive the peo pie of a s-ource of honest entertainment, ns well as of a powerful lever for keep ing their functionaries In good bemtv'lor.

Prom the Washington Star, "Voting man," said Senator Sorghum to the protege of whom he expects to make a successful politician, "1 nm afraid that you ore drirtlng toward moth oils tlint do not Invite tho calcium glare of publicity." "I don't quite understand," was the embarassed answer. "It seems to me that somo ot tho plans that you contemplate would cause you embarrassment If you were called upon to elucidate their details." "Well, senator, you're what they call a practical politician yourself." "Exactly," was tho self-appreciative reply. "And a such I am prepared to dismiss all considerations of sentiment and to acknowledge no criterion except success." "Well, a good many men keep u few caids up their sleeves." "Certainly, my boy.

ANOTHKlt lilill'l' ON. Harrisburg Dispatch, Plilla. Ledger. There Is no doubt tfmt the element In the Republican organization which sup ported ex-Postmaster General Wuniunii ker for United States senutor will m dcttvor to cupture the next Republican state convention and name two candidates for the state olllces who will not be satis factory to the Heaver stutesnian. Several eonfeieiices are said to have taken place In Philadelphia between Mr. Wanamaker and Senutois Mugee, tilnn, Kuuffmuu and other untl-Quuy leaders, and, It is said, the conclusion reuched was that the state convention could be controlled by the untl-Quayltes by judi cious woik. Mr. Wanamaker Is said to be In hearty accord with the movement to nominate candidates for state tieasuier and auditor general not under Quay in fluences, and he Is expected to go Into doubtful counties and, In conjunction with the repiesentatlves of the Business Men's league, endeavor to elect anti-Quay dele gates to the state convention. It has been represented to Mr. Wunumuker that Philadelphia and Allegheny ulone will send ninety delgates to the convention who will oppose Senator Quuy's choice tor state treasurer and auditor general, and over fifty additional delegates are count ed upon from vailnus counties In which tlieie Is a healthy anti-Quay sentiment. One hundred and forty delgates would not be n majority of the convention, but It Is claimed that the needed number can be secured by active work In certain locali ties between now and the time the con vention meets. That there will be a clash between the Republican factions In the next slate con vention Is realized here by the leaders of both sides, and the Hues are being drawn tighter every day.
