Improve the Parks.
Many Important duties will devolve
upon the new city councils' which next
week will IjbrIii a year's woik, but
anions the most Impottunt of these is
the duty of making piovixlons for per
manent Improvement!) In the parks of
the city. Nuy Auk; park Iiuh been the
property of the city for several yeais,
but us yet little or nothing In the way
of peitnunent Improvement linn been
affected hecuusu the councils liuve not
seen their way clear to allow the park
commissioner! u sulHclent amount of
money to mako the city's breathing
spots attractive and convenient.
Scranton has not acquired all the
land that Is essential for park pur
poses, but that should not restrain the
city fathers from no arranging the
parks that are now its property that
the people may derive the largest
uni mt of benetlt from them.
Summer is fust approaching and It
Is Impossible to make much of a change
this year, but steps should be taken at
once that will result In a. decided
change In tile npeuronee of the parks a
year hence. A wise expenditure of
money for such a purpose will meet
with the hearty upproval of people gen
erally. Snow is four feet on the level In
western Nebraska: forest fires nra blaz
ing on Long Island; the Mississippi val-
lev Is Hooded and the dusi Moats In
Scranton.
For Ballot Reform.
The Philadelphia Uulletln calls atten
tion to what It terms needed reform of
the present ballot law In the way of
simplifying the classification of candi
dates on the otllclal ballot and of less
enlnij the obstacles to independent vot
ing. The rulletln urges that the huge and
cumbersome ballot is a cause of per
pli xlty even to well-informed voters.
To mnnv citizens It has been produc
tive of almost hopeless confusion of
mind, and not a few have taken refuge
from their dllllcultles In hap-hazurd
marking or In voting the "straight"
ticket when they had gone to the polls
with the Intention of doing otherwise.
The original purpose of the "Austra
lian svstem" when Introduced was not
only to Insure secrecy to the ballot but
to simplify voting and to give the
voter the opportunity of an intelligent
discrimination In his choice of candi
dates. Under the present system the
voter Is confronted on election day with
a handbill of circus-poster dimensions
so arranced as to require careful ex
amination of the various columns in
order to avoid mistakes.
The Uulletln thinks that this should
be corrected by the legislature, but
ili'tin no remedy. The Maker ballot
law though without Imperfections lias
been considered the most practicable
scheme In the interest of fair and hon
est elections. If Improvements can be
suggested no doubt they will be gladly
received by voters throughout the com
monwealth. -
The new gun-boat Helena has proved
to be a llyer and has won a, bonus of
JDC.OO'J for her builders. If the Helena
will now demonstrate her ability to tloat
during an April shower the satisfac
tion over her achievements will doubt
less be universal.
Discouraging for Populists.
It Is predicted by experts that the
Kansas wheat crop will amount to at
least tO.OOO.UUu bushels this year. Thin
Htute of affairs is encouraging to all
but the I'opullsts. The restless baud of
croaking .Teieinluhs who thrive on cal
amity and distress will be at loss for
campaign ammunition unless some
thing InteiveneH to destroy tin hopes of
the Industrious) husbandman of Kan
sas. It Is a common saying out west
that when the country Is up the Popu
lists aio down and when the country Is
down the Populists are Jubilant.
The AVeatern Populist is very much
like the Pennsylvania Democrat. lit'
is a natural bom calamity howler. He
looks upon the dark side of life and
gloats over hard times that cannot be
at once alleviated under Hepubllean
rule. He looks upon Industry with sus
picion for fear that the enterprise
which furnishes woik for the honest
nitlsan may at the same time be mak
ing profits for some trust or corpora
tion. He Is a continual fountain of
Borrow; a cup of grief that Is always
overflowing. When crops are bountiful
and times arc good and everybody Is
happy the Populist hunts his hole and
meditates. The announcement that
Kansas will have an enormous wheat
crop this year will cause consternatlo;i
in the Popullstic camp. There will be
really nothing to howl over.

whose uniform serves to Inform those

wear military murks of any kind with

such the case with those who sport Im

Punishment for Bicycle Thieves.
A New Jersey Judge has touched
the popular chord In sentencing a bi
cycle thief to two years In the peni
tentiary. Although at llrst the punish
nient mlsht seem a ttiile severe, In
view of nil circumstances It Is doubt
less Just. The number of bicycles
stolen last year Justllles stern tteat
ment of bicycle thieves. Tile ease
with which such a theft may be com
mitted, the stolen nvtlcle itself afford
ing the means of escaping with the
booty, and the dllllcttlty of recovering
the property It the thief has a little
start; all combine to make It necessary
that the punishment of the crime
should be severe enough to act as a de
terrent. The Judge who sentenced the thief
said that bicycle thefts had become so
frequent that it was necessary to do
something to check this form of steal
ing, and that It was his Intention to
make it as safe for a bicycle owner to
leave his wheel In the street as It was
for a wagon driver to let his team stnnd
at the curbstone while he went Inside a
building.
Wheelmen in this section have In past
been greatly annoyed by the depreda
tions of the bicycle thieves and many
have for protection Joined wheel Insur
ance companies to whom they are
obliged to pay assessments yearly In
order to have wheels teplaced In case
they are stolen. A few convictions and
sentences In the line of New Jersey
justice will doubtless accomplish much
in the way of suppressing the evil.
Mr. Gladstone rides a bicycle but It
seems that there was no hump on his
back when he took up the cause of
Greece.
Mr. McKinley's Popularity.
The populailty of President McKIn
ley seems to Increase as the days go by.
Within the few weeks that he has
served as chief magistrate the new
president lias convinced all that he is
a man of the people. So far as can be
Judged, according to Washington dis
patches, Mr. McKlnley Is umlable and
democratic, and his affable manners
are appreciated In maiked contrast to
those of his predecessor.
It was about as hard to reach Clove
land when he was president as It Is to
reach the presence of the Chinese em
press. During the last Cleveland ad
ministration the white house was sur
rounded by policemen and sentry boxes.
When Cleveland lived at his country
place ut AVoodley, the road between the
white house und the country seat of
the chief executive was strewn with
mounted policemen, and the only con
spicuous objects In the grounds ut the
Woodley mansion were police otticers
lolling under the trees.
McKlnley has disbanded the white
house police force. He has had the
sentry boxes tenioved. He walks
utouud the streets as he did when he
was a member of the house. He speaks
to old friends and acquaintances us lie
did of old, and while he undoubtedly
la crowded to the wall by the office
seekers und must be tiled to death,
anybody who desires to see him on uuy
teal business finds no dltllculty In get
ting an Interview with him.
An opportunity Is now given the
I.' nlted .Stutes to display a little patri
otism In the small war cloud that hus
ailsett between this country and Peru.
The government of that country Is al
leged to have seized an American sailor
and condemned him to a year's liuptls
onmetit without the formality of u legal
trial. Tlie American minister has de
manded his releas ami been refused.
It Is a small matter to light about,
but It Invohes an important principle.
(Ireat Htitaln's action in such cases Is
well known. She sends a warship or
two to demand the release of her sub
ject, and, If It is not piomptly granted,
opens fire. This policy ban become well
known and therefore lltltlsh silbjects
are seldom molested. There Is no ques
tion that T'ncle Sam could deliver the
knockout blow against the copper-hued
Peruvian In one round and make the
Ameilcan tar respected on the .South
American coast. Why not make an ex
ample of the saucy officials of Peru and
teach them that they have not an ex

The Military Fad.
The Pittsburg Times calls attention
to the action of the National Guard of
New York In setting an example that
might be followed In this state In curb
ing the ambitions of various persons
who belittle the uniform which distin
guishes the military from the private
citizen. The New York guardsmen are
up In arms against the imitators of the
military uniform who wear gaily-colored
clothing and stripes on arms and
shoulderH to give a warlike appearance.
Hands, society organizations, the Sal
vation Army and others who appear In
uniforms with too many Imitations of
the state soldiery will be called upon
to Bhow cause for their adorning em
blems or take them off. It is becoming
so common In New York for organiza

CAPITOL CHAT.
If all who hate would love us,
And all our loves were line,
The stats that swing above us'
Would brighten In the blue;
If cruel wolds were kisses,
And every scowl a smile,
A better world thun this Is
Would hardly bo worth while;
If purses would untlghteu
To meet a brother's need,
The load we bear would lighten
Above the grave of greed.
If those who whine would whistle,
And those who himjuish laugh,
The lose would lout the thistle
The grain outrun the chaff;
If hearts were only jolly,
If gilevlng were forgot,
And tears and melancholy
Were things that now are not
Then Dove would kneel to Duty.
And all the world would seem
A biklal-bower of beauty.
A dream within a dieuiu.
If men would cease to worry,
, And women cease to sigh,
And nil be glad to bury
Whatever has to die
If neighbor spake to neighbor,
As Dove demands of all.
The rust would eat the sabre,
The spear stay on the wall;
Then evcty day would glisten,
And eveiy eye would shine.
And God wouU patue to listen,
And life would be divine.

Tlie Pittsburg papers rush to the de

now possess legally or otherwise the
land once owned by the noble led mun,
Cornplanter. The descendants of the
Indian chief claim that Oil City people
have no clear title to the land that
they are occupying and seek Justice
through legislative action. The Corn
planter claim Is over a hundred years
old and has been rejuvenated for many
sessions at Harrigburg. Whether there
are any grounds for their claim or not,
It Is evident that the descendants of the

to go back to the reservation and plant
