There Is no other way of describing It. And to make It worse, men with brooms ate kept at work ostensibly sweeping the dry dust Into heaps, but really putting It In to the nostrils of pedestrians and Into the Btores and homes near by. The board of health ought to serve an Injunction on this audacious process of microbe dissemination and the grand Jury ought to Indict the street cleaning de partment as a public nuisance. It Is strange that the taxpayers of this city will (iiiletly submit to such offensive mlsgovernment. There Is no earthly reason why under the present rateof assessment enough money should not be secured for city purposes to provide, among other things, for a sys tematic, intelligent nnd effective clean, ing of the streets, after the manner In which streets are cleaned In many other cities where the taxes levied are lower than they are here. If the right kind of brains and the right kind of conscience weie summoned to this task and sustained In It by public sentiment the present abuse, one of the most con spicuous In our carelessly governed city, would soon disappear. "We venture to say that the public will await with Interest the announce ment by Mayor Ualley of Street Com missioner Kinsley's successor. If he Is the rljjht kind of a man, it will pay tho taxpayers of Seranton to organize for the purpose of helping him along in his Inevitable wrestles with coun cils. The abolition of the ward system of appropriations nnd the introduction into the street commissioner's depart ment of the ethics nnd sagacity neces sary to the successful management of a private enterprise are consumma tions devoutly to be wished for In this year of our Lord. It looks as If the Turkish army was mori! dangerous to itself than to tho enemy. President McKlnlcy's Opportunity. Tho McKlnley administration very Parly In its history has an opportunity to prove to the people of what stuff It is made. The issue presented in the claims of the two American sailors, Itichalleu and Bolton, for indemnity from Spain for unwarranted Imprison ment is as plain ns a pikestaff, and the public will watch with vigilance its further progress. Thete two sailors were shipwrecked on the coast of Cuba Feb. 10, 1S31, hav ing left Port Au Prince to fish for green turtles. They were seized by Spanish otllclals and thrust Into prison at San tiago de Cuba. No charge was pre ferred against them and none has since been brought. At the end of three weeks they were released. The arrest of these men was a tlagrant violation of treaty stipulations, which provide for the hospitable reception of American citizens driven upon Spanish territory under stress of weather. Through their attorneys these sailors have brought action for damages In the sum of $10, 000 each, but tin Ice has the Spanish government refused to entertain the claim, the last time, on the first of last March, in terms little short of arro gance. The Spanish argument is that these menvad no clearance papers and that therefpre the, Spanish officials suspect ed Miam of being filibusters. But It Is lmpteilble to" permit Spanish suspicions to suVrsodc .specific treaty conditions. In defaulFof proof that the two Bailors lied concerning their cause of ship wreck, this government Is bounu in honor to support their claims by every resource at command. It is Intolerable that American citizenship may any whfifo 1ms subject to such outrage as appears on the face, of this case, least of ajfrat.-flio hands of a nation which has fclvert.us'so many otner causes for anger'and' contempt, Wedo no? know what course the ad mlnltratoritat Washington has chos en to pursue in this matter; but we do know what would be our policy If In President McKlnley'a place. We should notify Spain that if this Indemnity were not paid within twenty-four hours, orders would be given to every warship- in our navy to proceed to tho nearest Spanish port and collect It. It Is high. time. that a summary stop were put id 'the Spanish habit of using sus picion Americans as If it were evi dence of evil doing. Th selection of Harold M, Bewail, of Maine, son of Mr. Bryan's running mate, but himself of sound political faith, for the Honolulu mission will be accepted by the country as fortu nate, Mr. Sewall has had experience In this direction. He was our consul general at Samoa when the great storm occurred that sent the Yankee war ships on the rocks; and In that ns well ns in other emergencies he dis played energy, pluck and spunk. As America's representative at Hawaii he will stand for America and the Hag, nnd we doubt not will yet witness Hawaii's permanent attachment to the Union. If Weyler tries to carry tho war into America, It Is Just possible that Ameri cana may have Eomethlng more to say. Two Interesting Articles. Two highly interesting articles are to appear In the May Forum. One, en titled "The Autocrat of Congress," and treating of the almost absolute power over legislation possessed by the spenker of the house of representa tives, Is by Henry L. West, tho polit ical editor of the Washington Post, and one of the most graphic writers In American Journalism. The other, by Charles II. Miller, editor of the New York Times, will reply to Senator Hoar's defense of the senate, nnd will put into the best possible English the strongest possible objections to the senate ns at present constituted. We shall await the coming of Mr. West's nrtlcle tho more impatiently because of a recent conversation had with him upon the subjects treated In It. For nearly a score of years Mr. West has been Identified with Journal Ism at the national capital In connec tions which have afforded him an un usually clear and thorough Insight Into the workings of congress. It is a sig nificant fact that so far from having been led by this experience to con cur In tho popular extolment of the house of representatives at the ex pense of the senate, he Is utterly hos tile to the theory that an abridgement of the riGht of debate in the senate would bo wise. Tho senate, ns now constituted, ho regards as the only safeguard which we have against the unreasoning Impatience or passion of the mob; nnd the house, In his Judg ment, Is censurable for Its willing and far-stretched subserviency to the will of the Individual whom It chooses to preside over It. If his nrtlcle pursues tho tenor of his conversation with us, it will attack, not any particular speaker as an Indi vidual, but rather the system which renders It possible for any speaker, by the aid of a friendly committee on rules, to shape even down to details the entire policy of what la traditional ly known as the popular branch of con gress. Against this criticism may be offered the point that Increasing mem bership and greatly Increasing con flicts of factional and sectional Inter ests require, If symmetrical legisla tion chaiacterlzed by reasonable ex pedition be desired, tho Interposition of a single guiding hand, 'it may also be noted that the drift in government, local, county and state, is away from power scattered among many hands and toward power centralized in few hands, yet with those few answerable to the people. But we anticipate. Before debating Mr. West's nrguments let us first give him the pilvilege of stating them. We wonder what proportion of American newspaper readers know or care anything about the Jaw-breaking geographical details of the Turco-Gre-clan war. The Business Outlook. Tho latest weekly financial letter Is sued by the Monetary Trust, an In vestment institution of New York city, presents nearly a hundred interviews with the foremost commercial and financial leaders of the metropolis as to tho 'conditions noted by them in business; and almost without excep tion they toport 3lgns of impiovemcnt. The tenor of the Interviews Is not en thusiastic. If it weie, we should sus pect It was assumed. But the prevail ing iwpresslun seems to be that busi ness h'.is turned the corner and Is now gradually cllinhlnsr upward. This Is the feeling in New York, the business pulbe of the country, and we do not re? any reason to dispute its accuracy, Voty encouraging In this connection Is the news which comes from Wash ington that the Dlngley bill will be reported from thn senate finance com mittee not latir than one week hence, and that In all probability It will be enacted Into law in time to tako effect July 1. Much ns we are disposed to prize the principle of thctoughnesa in legislation, the conditions now preva I. r.t are such that It were far wiser to I a.-s an imperfect tariff measure offer ing substantial relief Immediately, nnd wait until later to make such minor directions as experience w ould neces sitate, than to occupy valuable time In polishing touches not absolutely essen tial at this time. The people have voted for the meas uie now before the senate; that is, tliry have Indorsed Its principle and have expressed a preference for It over the scheme of relief embodied In Bry anlsm, nnd they are entitled to have their way. The sooner they shall have It the sooner will they feel that gen. eial case which is the necessary con dition of economic recovery. It Is unlikely that the Civil Service commission will fulfil Its threat to make troublo for Public Printer Pal mer because he declines to carry a lot of Democratic deadwood. The commis sion undcrt taiids too well the temper of congress. The Amended Raines Law. Tho amended Raines law as signed by Governor Black Is of Interest In Pennsylvania In view of tho attemots, as yet unsuccessful, which have been made to have that novel excise experi ment reproduced in this common wealth. For this reason we reproduce below a summary of Its provisions tak en from the New York Sun: All clubs in which liquor Is distribut ed must pay the samo tax as hotels and saloons. They are not subject to visitation by excise Inspectors, except on the direction of the excise commis sioner. They may dlstt'lbute liquor to their members at any time, provided they were Incorporated prior to March 23, 1898, the date when the originnl liquor tax law was signed. Clubs or ganized since that time will not be permitted to distribute liquors on Sun days, election days, or between the hours of 1 and 6 o'clock In Urn iomlng-. Hotels, within the meaning of the law, are such as have nt lenst ten bed rooms for guests 'above the basement lloor. These must be separated by par titions not les thnn three Inches thick, which must extend from lloor to cell ing. Independent access to every room must be provided from n hallway. Ev ery room must have at least eighty square feet of floor space and COO cubic feet of nlr space. A window must be ii i , ,m .i provided for every room. The hotel dining room must contain nt least 300 square feet of floor surface, and have accommodations for nt lenst twenty diners. Tho bar may not be In the din ing room. Guests of hotels are defined to be persons who hire rooms nt regu lar rates not merely to be served with drinks, or such as resort to the hotel for meals at the regular hours when meals nre served. The free lunch has been revived. Beer bottlers will have to pay a tax of $100 for every delivery wagon they employ. The pharmacists' tax has been reduced to $25 In the city, and $5 In tho country towns. Dry goods and grocery storekeepers may not sell liquor except In a room which has no entrance from the main store. A deal er In liquors who knowingly employs In his business a man who had been convicted of a felony Is guilty of a mis demeanor. Liquors may not bo sold to n minor to be used by another. Per mits to sell liquor all night nt balls and entertainments may bo obtained of the mayor of cities of tho first class for $3 n night. Any citizen may secure nn I injunction to restrain the illegal sale of liquor. The license foe extends from $200 in tho small towns up to $S0O a yenr In the large cities. The essential merit of tho Haines law Is that It gives every man who can supply the license fee the right to soil liquor and then holds him accountable for the mnnner In which he sells it. With reasonable fairness and thor oughness in its enforcement the law ought to be a distinct advance UDon prior attempts at state regulation of tho drink traillc. The fidelity to civil service reform of the Springfield Republican, one of the original Mugwump organs, will not be questioned; ot even It Is moved to say, In Its Washington correspondence that "there are many friends of the re form who believe that President Cleve land went at least rather fast In pro viding for competitive eaminntion3 of such officials as the supervising archi tect of tho treasury and the chief of the bureau of engraving nnd printing. It is not unlikely that these places will be made excepted places." When a Mugwump paper will admit thus much, It is safe to conclude that Grover's pace must have been fast. Gossip at the Capita! Special Correspondence of The Tribune. Washington, April 22. The recent death of Representative Seth MIMken, of Maine, which has directed attention to tho high quality of Maine's representation In Congress, th teason for which Is to be found In tho continuance, term after tetni, of tho Maine members, suggests also a glance at tho standing of certain other congrossional delegations. Very few of tho northern or eastern states have followed the example of Maine in this matter. By tho time that a mem ber from tho noith secures a position cf national prominence he Is retired nnd his successor In turn starts from tho foot of the- legislative ladder. The south, in tho contrar, has always been nn In' Ul factor in national politics, beoau- iias always had a habit In the past of itln ulng Its representatives in office. Com plaint is always made at every Demo cratic congress that all the important chairmanships are held by southern men. Tho charge is generally true, but It Is no fault or favoritism of the speaker. It simply happens that southern men have been longe:- on the committees, and there foie nraier tho top when their party comes into power. Tor the last four or flvo years, however, tho north has broken away somewhat from this lino of policy. It has more new men in congresi to-day than almost every other section. But for the past four or five ears tho north hns I een politically restleKs, and began to vent its .llscon tent on thoso rcarest home. A district profits nothing by changing its represent ation too rapidly. Maine stands to-day as an Illustration of Influence gained through length of service. Philadelphia Is tho only great city In tho count! y which koeps Its member in congrese as long as thfy care to remain, and the re sult is that Philadelphia gets mere profit able legislation through than any of its slater cities. Every man should have two teims to develop, ard If ho shows no algn of growing In that period, it may bo well to make a change. But the districts which aro bet represented aro those which havo been represented there longest by one man. Mr. Mllllken's death will precipitate a spirited contest in the Third Maine dis trict. An election will probably mean long service In tho lower house, as tho stato follows tho policy of keeping Its senators and representatives In congress until their death or voluntary ret'rement. It Is pretty safe to conjecture that Mr. Mllllken's successor will be Edwin C. Hur Jelgh, of Augusta, Me., although thero aro circumstances tl at may lead to his being sidetracked. Mr. Burleigh has served Beveral years as governor of Maine, and it was at the close of his gubernatorial service that ho tried to push Mr. Mllllkcn out of his seat In congress. lion. Joseph Manloy, secretary of the National llopub llcan committee, rosldes nlso in Augusta. In former years Mr. Manloy has been talked of frequently ns congressional tim ber, and ho may conclude to become a candidate for tho special eloctlon which will be he'.d In tho district. Representative James Hamilton Lewis of Washington, who was sworn In as a Populist member about two weeks ago, has not only achieved famo as being the best dressed man In congress, but threat ens to reach the statesmanship stage as early as did Representative Barrett, of Massachusetts. The latter, It will be ro membered, had scarcely learned tho way from the floor of the house to his commit too room when he offered a resolution to impeach President Cloveland, thereby gaining some cheap notoriety. Mr. Lewis' first otllclnl act was the Introduction of a bill the other day to prevent tho departure of tho recently appointed monetary com mission. In defenso of this bill Mr. Lewis soys; "My design Is to prevent tho useless and unnecessary expense of tho $100,000. to bo spent for this foreign ex cursion. Did not Senator Woleott, upot his return from abroad, whither ho went as MoKlnloy's envoy, say that wo could only have an International agreement provided England contented? England, now, tluough her lord of tho treasury, and voiced by her official government Journal, at once notifies us that whllo Inclined to dine hospitably these commissioners, sho will not co-operate with them, Germany refuses to accept them except au guests. Japan, forced by England, from whom sho has lately borrowed $1,000,000,000, to go upon a gold basis, In order that tho boi.da may toe payable In gold cannot Join us. Austria refuses, and Russia will not negotiate, ppndlng her confusions In Tur- fcey "! arwy. SP""-ZZ ?nr gold, li helpless. So with whom arc we to negotiate? Havo we not had cnwiKh of this International playfulness? We Imvo had practically four of theso com missions. They have ench wonted nn average of two year, or eight year' time. Kach averaged H14.000 expense. With printing and circulating reports they hayo in roand numbers cost us JJOO.000, and the only decision over renched was to havo another conference. Wp were In nn In. finitely better iltuntlon during theso pre- 'ceding years for negotiation Wo w?crJ, not tQ mucU ,n lIf bt in mnn nuw, I we were not so nvuen in urui if "'"' whom wo aro truckling, n ' "'"" " monthly expenditure in excess of revenues of J3,OJO.O0O, likely to reach J 12,000,000 this fiscal year. Tho only provision mado to reach It leaves us confessedly by Its au thors J30.000.COO n yenr in debt, and with a. budget of appropriations cxccedlns $l,170,CO0,000, nil payable in sold. Increas ing dally on the toller and producer, we aw going to add another JlOO.Ootf merely to postpone the administration's nnl de cision of adopting tho gold stand.vid un til after tho next congressional clc'tvns. This in order to Inspire a further ho, nnd possibly a further confidence In tllO friends of silver. It Is a silly ruse, and too palpable to further fool n sensible pco pie. Let thn administration he ono thing or another, and at once, so wo may under stand where the pcoplo nro to be. This Is why I make this move. It Is the first step In a courso of uproed action to du mand legislation by this country in her sovereign capacity, Irrespective of the whims of monarch. Wo can't afTord a trip abroad to theso honorable gentlemen for their pleasure as Buch It can only result." It Is hardly necessary to say that Mr. Lewis Is an out-and-out free silver mani and therefore, probably, his "wishes are father to his thoughts." Tho Republicans are sure of one Demo cratic vote; at least, for their tarm bi.i. Senator McHnery. of Louisiana, will vote for It. He would havo voted tor me Dlngley bill Ji'st ns it came from tho house, and he will vote for It In the sen atp, no matter whether the finance com-inltte- rnltes or lowers tho rates. Gov. ernor McKnery Is a Democrat of the pro tection school a Randall Democrat they used to call them, In 'the days when tariff reform was a new Issue, and no bil! could bo too high for him. Ho camo to tho icn ato under pecullir aupplces. Senator Blanchard. It will ho remembered, sought rp-clection, but the opposition to him soon developed enough strength to make It doubtful whether any Democrat could be returned at all. In this Juncturo tho leading Democrats entered Into an ar rangement with tho sugar planters who are the controlling factor in Louisiana, nnd who wcro incensed because of Blaucliard's action on tho tariff bill and the bounty, by which McEnery was to be sup ported If he A-ould acce-pt the senatorUI nomination. Being on tno supremo Dcncn of tho stato, It was something of a sacri fice for him to come to tfio senate, but ho nevertheless accepted, and as soon as his decision was mado his election followed, like a flash. Governor McEnery is also a silver man, but ho will not vote for a silver rider to tho tariff bill. When tho silver question comes up as an independ ent question, he will be found on the side of free coinage at tho ratio of 16 to 1. There Is an Interctlng fight in progress for -ho vacancy on the flnanco committee of the senate, which will grow more and more lively aa the chances for committee reorganization Increase. Senator Piatt, of New York, and Semtor Sou ell, of Now Jersey, nro both moving heaven nnd earth to be appointed, but It would not bo at all strange If Spnator Burrows, of Michigan, should be selected as a com promise. Mr. Burrows was ono of tho members of the ways and means com mltteo that framed the McKlnley bill, and is onra of tho best authorities on tho tariff and financial affairs In tho somite.
