SCnANTON, APRIL 7, 1897.
The legislature of Pennsylvania, If It
will bucklo down to hard work from
this time on, may yet redeem Itself.
But It will need to bo ns attentive to
business ns a hay-grower lu autumn
With' a rain-storm threatening.
Concerning Trolley Fares.
As a general proposition President
Clark's contention that further Im
provement of the service of the Trac
tion company Is more desirable from a
public standpoint than cheapened fares
Is unquestionably true. For most per
sons a fare lower than five cents means
Inconvenience rather than economy.
The ono direction in which a shading
of the flat nickel rate would be advis
able Is toward worklngmen who rely
upon the street cars to convey them to
and from their place of employment. A
special coupon ticket giving 100 rides
for, let us say $4, and limited as to
the hours during which It will bo hon
ored would constltuto a welcome, and
one would think an expedient conces
sion. Because one attempt to solve this
problem did not result satisfactorily
to the company is not In Itself a sufll
lent reason for the abandonment of It.
So far, however, as the bulk of travel
Is concerned durlnir a greater portion
of the time, cheaper fares nre not so
earnestly desired an prompt keeping of
schedule time, Inviting nppe-arance.con-venlence
and comfort of cars, smooth
ness of road-bed and a generally satis
factory service. "When we consider
how widely Scrnnton's population Is
scattered and whnt difficulties In way
of grade and equipment must be over
come In catering to It, the five-cent
fare does not appear In Itself exorbi
tant; but the man who pays It has a
right to expect nn equivalent. In fair
ness to the Traction company It must
be paid that It is going steadily for
ward with improvements, and that. In
face of business depression and increas
ing competition from bicycles, It has
done much to put Its system upon a
better footing. The original room for
Improvement was so ample, however,
that the public will be disposed to hold
the company to Its promise to continue
this gradual betterment of Its service
until reasonable criticism shall be sat
isfied. It may not be out of place or unsea
sonable to suggest that It the antl
splttlng rule were enforced In all the
cars and a more frequent cleansing
made. It would go far to reconcile the
public to the present rate of fare. Up
on the whole our street cars today are
superior lu neatness to the cars of four
or five years ago, but they still fall be
hind the standard In a number of other
cities, and bo long as this can bo said,
there will bo dlssatlsfactlon.-The trans
formation which has been wrought In
comparatively recent months In the In
terior appearance of the trolley cars
of Philadelphia ought, for example, to
be within limits of possible duplication
In Scranton on a smaller scale; and
this objective point should steadily be
held In view. There Is need of co
operation rather than antagonism be
tween Traction officials and the public.
.When this shall be more marked, re
sults on both sides will bo much more
satisfactory.

London Times Is not the only one who
believes that the United States.in years
to come, will have a good deal of blush

value of the product was $9,056,764,090.
It Is no wonder that Mulhall, the great
Kngllrh statistician, stated that there
was nothing like It In the history of
the unlvora. It Is to such a condition
thrt wo must, If possible, return."
That, In a nutshell, Is the wholo doc
trine of the Dlngley bill. It Is founded
on the proposition that the American
producer ought to have the first chance
to do business with the American con
sumer; and it is backed by the hard
historical fact that whennvcr this
chanco has heretofore besn sacrificed
by free trade legislation things In this
country have Invariably gone wrong.
In the Interview from which the fore
going quotation is made, Mr. Payne
goes over the Dlngley bill In detail
and explains the reasons which Induced
the Ways and Means committee to tako
each step. We have not space at pres
ent to follow him throusb the entire
measure, but we ask especial attention
to the subjoined paragraph". Referring
to the duties placed on agricultural
products Mr. Payne says:
Thcro has been some ridicule In Demo
cratic newspapers and Democrana
speeches because wo have put duties on
agricultural products. Wheat, corn and
nil these other articles enn bo broucht
In from Canada unless wo keep them out
by a proper duty. But the thing that
seems to amuso some of these men was
tho fact that wo proposed In this bill to
Impose a duty on milk. In my district,
three-fourths of my constituents In north
ern New York earn their living by farm
ing. In that district, over 300 miles from
New York and more than that from tho
city of Philadelphia, two trains leave ev
ery day on each of the two railroads, ono
bound for New York and one for Phila
delphia, and they do not carry anything
except milk, which Is distributed In thoso
cities 300 miles away. The, Canadians
right across tho border can supply that
market in precisely the same wav, and
they can also supply Detroit, Chicago
and other cities with milk. So, after all,
It Is not such a funny thing that wo
should protect our American farmers and
dairymen In this industry ns against tho
people of Canada across tho border, who
do not contribute u cent to the support
of our government.
We should Imagine that the force of
this argument would come home- to the
dairy Interests proximate to Scranton.
The likeness between a garden and
an advertisement consists In the fact
that neither will bear fruit at once,
without care or cultivation. But the
latter Is Just ns sure as tho former to
produce gratifying results If It be em
ployed with discrimination In the
proper medium. Hereabouts that's

constriction of the hard coal trade, Is
yet held preferable by tho great mass
of men who follow tho miner's vocation.
In 1SSG there wero 170 fatal a.id 393
non-fatal accidents In tho bituminous
region; in the anthracite region, ft.r
the Bamo period, the numbers were t02
and 1169. For tho bituminous region
this Is equivalent to raying there
was 1 fatal accident to every
460 employes and 1 non-fatal ac
cident to every 210; and for
tho anthracite region, 1 to 293 and 1 to
128. During the same year on tha rail
roads of Pennsylvania 1 In every 400
employes was killed, and 1 In every 37
Injured. Speaking broadly, therefore,
It may bo said that It is safer to work
In tho mines than on the railroads; for
while the railroad casualties reported
in 1896 and used above wero normal,
the fatalities Included In the anthra
cite Inspectors' reports wero abnormal
ly numerous and represented an extra
ordinarily largo percentage of risk.
n
A mine foreman In rittston Is under
bond In the sum of $200 to answer In
court tho charge of selling the right of
employment In his mine. Tho informa
tion accuses him of requiring from ono
applicant for hire a bonus of $20 and of
attempting, at a later time, an addi
tional extortion of $3, the alternative
being the workman's discharge. This,
of course, Is only the plaintiff's side
of the case and subsequent evidence
may exonerate the defendant. But If
such a practice as Is here alleged be
anywhere In vogue, the responsible
heads of tho various mining companies
should not hesitate utterly to root It
out. It amounts to a breach of trust
Involving ths meanest conceivable motives.
We begin to fear that the esteemed
Carbondale Leader will not be happy
until it can have a little unlvcnu all its
own.

Tho public do not seem ever to have
grasped the fundamental prlnclplo on
which tho Associated Press was organ
ized. It Is not a money-making, but u
money-spending organization. It Is simp
ly a society of nowspapcrs pledged to
assist each other In tho collection and
Interchange of news. Co-opcratlon en
ables the papers In the association to
collect the news of tho wor.d far more
economically than It could bo dono Inde
pendently. The United Press was organ
ized on nn entirely different basis. It
was primarily a corporation formed to
sell news to newspapers, nnd this prln
clplo does not seem to Wor,k successfully.
Tho Associated Press la formed on truly
democratic lines, nnd hence it now occu
pies a practically unassailable position.

LOOK ON THE ISKIUIIT SIDE.
An Able Defense.
Through tho medium of a widely cir
culated newspaper Interview Hon. Ser
eno E. Payne, of New York, one of tho
ablest Republican members of the
Ways and Means committee, has made
a spirited and timely defense of tho
Dlngley bill from the charge that It
embodies excessive Protection. He ad
mits that its first effect will bo to
produce a large Increase in revenue,
which he thinks can well be applied to
the extinguishment of the Cle eland
debt rolled up under tho Wilson bill;
but after a time tho new tariff, ho
contends, will become to a considerable
extent self-regulative. To Illustrate:
At first, most of our linen and sugars
will be Imported, yielding, the one from
$5,000,000 to $6,000,000, nnd the latter
about $50,000,000 of revenue per annum.
But as It becomes clear to our own
people that, with protection, they can
make this linen and grow these sugars
themselves, the market will be filled
with the domestic articles and Imports
and revenue on these articles will
gradually cease.
Says Mr. Payne: "If this bill Is nl
lowed to remain on the statute books
a few years we shall cease to spend
$7R,000,000 a year abroad to pay for for
eign sugar. We shall ceaso to spend
$15,000,000 abroad to pay for foreign
linen. We shall cease to send $8,000,000
or $10,000,000 a, year to Europo for tin
plate. And we shall reduco the wool
business, to a science, so that we shall
raise on our American farms tho wool
that we need, and will ceaso paying
out $50,000,000 or $60,000,000 a year to
foreigners for wool and woolen goods.
In doing this wo shall not only keep at
home this vast sum of money, but we
shall give employment to millions of
men who will bo consumers of other
American products. In 1SC0 our manu
facturers gave employment to 1,311,240
employes, and the wages paid them
was $373,878,066, and tlio value of their
product was $1,885,861,676. That was
the result after the Republic had been
established three-quarters of a cen
tury. In 1890, only thirty years later,
notwithstanding tho devastating etfects
of the civil war, but with a high pro
tective tariff during those thirty yeurs,
our manufactories gave employment to
4,476,884 employes, and paid them
wages aggregating $2,171,700,183, and the
Coming to Her Senses,
There Is a world of significance In
these words of Phoebe Cousins:
"Twenty years ago I, with other new
converts, believed that suffrage for
women would prove a panacea for all
of the evils of politics. I believed 'that
women In public life would prove a re
generating Influence. After twenty
years of close observation and experi
ence I have come to the conclusion that
women are no better than men. After
reviewing the characteristics of men
and women I find they nre about
equally balanced that there are as
many good women as men In the world,
and no more. Women In public life
will never prove satisfactory. There
are limitations that proscribe her suc
cess. She Is naturally a housekeeper.
I would advise all young women to
marry and become home-keepers."
This may well be described as the
common sense of a subject too often
approached In hysterics. It amounts
to a recognition, at last, of the fact
that when nature created women dif
ferent from men It Intended that they
should occupy different stations In life
and be to each other as complements
rather than as rivals. In such a divine
ly appointed and therefore unalterable
arrangement It does not Tollow that
cither sex is the inferior of the other,
but simply that the sum of tho best
work and thought of both shall cover a
wider range and present a more sym
metrical appearance than It the differ
entiation were absent.
The ballot for woman would add lit
tle to her influence, and if granted pre
maturely and without discrimination
it might upon occasion weaken it. The
fact that male suffrage is indiscrimin
ate Is by no means an argument for a
multiplication by two of such a lack
of electoral selection. That which is
tho fault of the present system would
not become less a fault If doubled In
size. We do not defend tho exclusion
of qualified women from the polls nor
approve the presence of unfit males.
But If a reform Is to be sought, let It
be agitated for along the right lines.
Let fitness rather than sex be the prin
ciple at Issue.
From tho Pittston Item.
Congressman Connell, of Scrnnton, Is of
n decidedly optimistic turn of mind. In an
Interview with a rcprtfrntatlve of tho
Scranton Sundny World ho discussed tho
probablo effect of tho passage of tho
tariff bill. Tho congressman draws a
very rosy picture of tho good times com
ing In tho near future. People like men
of tho Connell stamp, rather than tho
doleful fellows who never see any pros
pect of Improvement when times nre
dull. Tho world would bo better If thcro
wercmoro who are able to seo tho bright
side of things. ,

The Dangers of Alining.
Tho department of Internal affairs at
Harrlsburg has completed Its digest of
tho mlno Inspectors' last annual re
ports, and In It some Interesting facts
appear. The Pennsylvania bituminous
product for 1896 was 60,273,656 tons, a
decrease from 189:. of 1,539,456 tons;
while of anthracite thero were pro
duced 48,074,339 tons, a decrease from
1895 of 2,772.774 tens. Tho approximate
equality of these two different and
widely separated products, In point of
quantity, will bo noted.
More curious U the comparis.i with
respect to labor. The number of em
ployes In tho bituminous region In 1832
was 73,789; in lf93. 81,800; In 1891, 86,
177; in 1893, 84,904; In 1896, 83,796. In
1892 the bituminous product was ili,.
576,576 tons; In 1893, 43.421.89S; In 1891,
39,800,210, nnd In 1895, 51,813,112. On tho
other hand, the number of employes In
the anthraclto region In 1892 va-i 127,
797; In 1893, 138,021; In 1894, 139,095; In
1895, 143,605, and In 1896, 146,670, whl'e
the anthraclto tonnage was 45,738,373
In 1892; 47,129.563 in 1893; 45,506,179 In
1894, and 60,847,104 In 1893. Thus It ap
pears that while thero has been during
tho past year In tho anthracite rejjlon
a restriction of output, the number of
employes has Increased, Indeed, an In
crease In the number of employes Is to
be noted for every year Blnco 1832, but
no such Increase Is noticeable' In the

A remarkable letter on tho situation in
Culm from C. K. Akerg, who was a long
time Cuban correspondent for the London
Times, has been written for tho New

Spain has accomplished little toward the
pacification of Cuba. Certain guins have

Spanish nrms. Whero ono such man aB

"General Weyler's policy of extermina
tion and devastation Is nothing short of
tho almost Insane working of an Ignor
ant and completely unbalanced mind. To
kill peaceful people on tho technicality
that they havo neglected to obey tho or
der to leave their homes and tnke up their
residence In some town whero no means
of subsistence exist Is inexcusable. To
devastate tho whole island of Cuba on
tho plea that by so doing all supplies will
bo shut off from tho rebels only demon
strates tho denso Ignorance under which
tho Spanish general Is laboring. Tho
great majority of Spaniards with vested
Interest in the island condemn General
Weyler and his practices In most un
measured terms. Even tho fear of being
maiked down as political suspects, with
tho prospect of transportation to nn Af
rican penal settlement, does not deter
them from expressing openly their hatred
of tho regime now In vogue. As for tho
foreigners resident In Cuba, they havo
but ono feeling with regard to Welder's
methods of conducting tho military oper
ations. They consider Weyler nnd his ac
tions ns a reflex of tho worst barbarities
of the mlddlo ages.
"For tho moment the Spanish policy
professes moro leniency to American cit
izens in particular, and more c.lemency
toward tho rebels In general. I say 'pro
fesses' advisedly, for there Is small proof
that such a. policy is to bo adopted, as
tho outeomo of mature deliberation and
tho decision that the measures In the
past havo been of too aevcro a nature.
The real reason for any momentary
change Is tho advent to power of tho Mc
Klnley administration. Just now Spain
Is as full of smirks and smiles, curtsies
and tricks as a coquetto of six seasons.
Spain made Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Olney
dance to tho tune she piped. P havo tho
authority of General Fltzhugh Lee, tho
United States consul general at Havana,
for stating that. Not In ono single case
hlnco he assumed the duties of the Hav
ana consulate have American prisoners
been accorded tho privileges they are en
titled to under tho Spanish-American
treaty and protocols. General Lee states
that his efforts to obtain the full treaty
rights for Americans wero Invariably
thwarted by Instructions emanating from
Mr. Olney In Washington. Tho object of
Spain In making concessions In connec
tion, with American citizens Is simply for
tho' purpose of feeling tho pulso of the
now administration. If tho wiles of tho
Spanish minister nro as successful in en
trapping Sir. McKlnley nnd Mr. Sherman
as they wero Mr. Cleveland nnd Mr. Ol
ney, then good-by to any hope for Jus
tice to American citizens or protection
to American citizens In Cuba. God
grant that Spain's efforts to mislead the
United States government may this time
prove a failure. '
"Tho Cubans are today better armed
and equipped and with greater number
In their lighting ranks than at any tlmo
since the revolt began. They can con
tlnua a guerilla warfare on tho present
lines for years, and thcro is every Indi
cation that they are prepared to do so.
Spain, on tho other hand, to maintain
her present position, must send out re
inforcements of at least 40,000 men dur
ing tho current year to fill the gaps
caused by sickness and casualties of war.
If the Spanish jjovcrnment finds tho re
sources of tho mother country unequal to
this further strain, then tho alternative
Is to abandon the Interior of tho island
and retain control only qf the principal
scariort towns nnd their Immediate sur
roundings, and so nominally keep the
Spanish Hag flying over the Pearl of tho
Antilles.
"That the Intervention of the United
States government should take place to
bring to a close tho pitiable scenes now
enacted In Cuba ad mil a of no shadow of
reasonable doubt. Tho past policy of
this country has been to cry, 'Hands off I'

such a policy entail certain responsible

not only by every thinking foreign resi

of many Americans, and also In those of
