SCRANTON, MAY 8. 1897.
Why doesn't Mayor Rnlley mention
the "cause" of Mr. Kinsley's removal?
Was It because Kinsley put the mayor
in a hole?
m
Mr. Kinsley's Successor.
The appointment of A. 13. Dunning,
Jr., iih street commissioner commends
Itself to public approval. Mr Punning
understands the subject of road-making
and road repair from Wh n the
oretical and a practical standpoint, ho
has had experience In the executive
control of subordinates, and his i epil
ation for honestyofters a satisfactory
Kuarantee that, If his nomination ahull
be confirmed, the notorious Irregulari
ties which prevailed during the admin
istration of his predecessor will not bo
continued.
Hut should Mr. Dunning entei the of
fice for which he has been designated,
it 1! no more than fair to him to sug
gest that the public should not expect
too much. It must be remembered that
under present conditions the street
commissioner of Scranton Is not a mas
ter but a cieatutc of circumstances.
Two great dlfllcultles hamper him and
greatly Intel fere with the accomplish
ment of satisfactory results. One Is
the limited and unceitain funds placed
to the credit of his department, and the
other Is the wholly Alclous system of
uppoitlonlng this money among the
vailous wards, not In pioportlon to the
needs of those wntds, but In propor
tion to the counclhnen's pulls. The
business-like method would be to np
propilate for stieet purposes a sum
sulllclent, under caieful management,
to secure good Jesuits, and then to
place the dlsttlbutlon of It In the stieet
commissioner's hands and hold him re
sponsible. Thlt would be the method
which would prevail If the city of
Seranton were a private corpoiatlon,
and by means of It the people could
know at any moment whom to blame
for dlity streets, neglected seweis or
other !slble evidences of ineffective
management of the street commission
er's ofllce.
As It Is now, the most that a good
street commissioner can do Is to see
thathissubordinates behave themselves
and do the best for the city that he can
tinder very disagreeable circumstances.
The time may come when the common
hense of the community will come to
his rescue, but the outlook for such a
consummation we aie compelled to say
Is not paitlculaily bright.
Must the question, "Did Kinsley ro
Flgn'" ppiplex Indefinitely the coming
ages?
Revise the Blue Laws.
The pirsent legislature could not bet
ter employ the time which lemalns to
It ore adjournment than In making a
thoiough revision of the laws govern
ing Sunday observance This Is es
pecially called for In the matter of
Sunday ba.so-ball plajing a piactlce
alaimlngly on the inn ease among the
joung and one whose net Influences aie
essentially harmful,
The present laws on this sublet are
an inheritance fiom the last century
nnd by no means lit model n conditions.
The penal t ten provide In them air in
many Instances croteso,u in the light
of changed ideas concerning the pioper
bcope of legislation, aftcetlng matters of
conscience. A thorough enfoicement
of them nowadays is virtually Impossi
ble, and in any event It is preposterous
to ask the people of the closing decade
of the nineteenth century to adapt
their habits to the obsolete notior.s of a
century ago. It is the duty of legisla
tion to keeji paco with the times, and
in no cliiection is this more in gent than
in that to which we have Just called
attention.
In the matter of spoits, if the sanc
tity and the sanitary wholesomencss ot
tho Sabbath aie to be preserved,
amendatoiy and supplementary legis
lation is indispensable. The uncheck
ed di 1ft of the times away fiom piu
ilent Sunday obsen ai.ee Is a matter of
the utmost seriousness, mid paitleu
lailv so in communities, whore thouvei
ngo of morality and social older Is 'al
ready none too high. If instead of be
ing brought undei moial teaching the
young, on this day, aie encouraged by
the civil authorities, to assemble on
vacant lots, and contract at a tender
nge the habits of piofanlty, hoister
ousness and contempt for wise rc
.sttalnt, It needs no gift of prophecy to
foiesee a time when these uncut l4
ladu, giown Into men, will form a rest
less and a dangerous element in our
rltlr.enshlp.
Viewed not from a narrow but from
a broad and liberal standpoint, action
by the legislature of Pennsylvania. Is
imperatively demanded. The condi
tions of today demand, not blue- lawi
but common sense Jaws lltted to mod
ern facts. If the leglslatuie will pass
legislation of this character, we havo
authority for snyintr that it will re
ceive guucrnatoilal assent.
As for Mr. Fahey, the chances are
he is both a sadder and a madder man.
It is timely to recall this extract
from the last annual message of Grover
Cleveland, certainly not an enthusiast
in his friendship for Cuba: "A time
may arrive when a correct policy and
care for our Interests, as well as a re
gard for the interests of other na
tions and their citizens, Joined by con
siderations of humanity and a desire
to see a rich and fertile country, Inti
mately related to us, saved fiom com
plete devastation, will constrain our
government to such action as will, sub
serve the interests thus involved and
at the same time promise to Cuba and
Its inhabitants an opportunity to en
Joy the blessings of peace." In the
name of humanity and liberty, has not
that time come?

City Engineer Phillips might have
put It Into fewer vords by paying that
vehicle drlvcis have no rights which
street car companies are bound to re
spect. Tlic druniblcrs Neatly Answered.
At tho farewell dinner given In New
York at the Union League club on
Monday last to General Horace Por
ter, on tho eve of his depaiturc for
Paris, where he Is to assume the duties
of American nmbassador to France,
one of the best speeches mado was
that of Governor Griggs, of New Jcr
pqy, who took advantage of tho oppor
tunity to exhibit tho smallncss of the
Cleveland Grumbling club. i3o apt
weie his wotds on this subject that we
feel Justlllcd i In reproducing them.
Governor Gilggs snld:
"I ntn disposed to quarrel a little
with our friends of the. Reform club
They have been unjust and unfair In
their criticism of the administration
before It has had time to distinguish
tho faces of the colored servants in the
white house. Wo cannot, and we will
not, forget the patriotic servico that
hundred? of thousands of Dcmocrots
rendered to their country by their sup
port of McKlnley and Hobart in tho
last election. They were honored then,
and wo honor them now. Hut I deny
that they have any reason to complain
that they were deceived or defrauded.
That which they hoped to gain by the
election of McKlnley and Hobart they
have gained. Look back nt the situa
tion. "Over tho western horizon hung the
dnile cloud of Populism, black and
angry with gusts of communism and
all the winds of financial heresy and
ruin. Deluded and de.stiuctlve hands
were raised against the national hon
or, ngainst the suinemacy of the law,
the dignity of the couits and the per
manency of our Industiial svstem. The
oigaulzlng foices of tho Democratic
party had been perveited to the sup
port of Uryanlsm. The safety of the
countiy, Its Integrity, its financial
honor, were threatened with over
thtovv. Confidence, tho very breath of
commercial piospei'ity, wn3 lost. Men
went about with lips white with patri
otic resolve that their country bhould
not fall Into the hands of the forces ol
desttuction. They tuined In mighty
hosts tow aids tho paity that could be
ti listed to preserve us fiom the now
and special danger that threatened.
And we have been saved. The turning
was eflleaclous. When the glad shouts
of victoiy went up over the election of
McKlnley and Hobait, they exniessed
icjolclng, for honor saved and Institu
tions preserved.
"What care we now whether gold
goes out or comes In? Financial dis
honor will not come through President
McKlnley. All our Democratic allies
had a light to expect they have re
ceived by the victory nlieady won.
They can rest nights In peace, as
sured that their piopeity will not be
cut down one-halt In value by cut
lency depreciation. What else have
our friends a light to ask or exuect'
Weie they promised that the currency
system should bo refoimcd nccoidlng
to their Ideas? That tho gieenbacks
should be ictlied? That tho Wilson
tailff should be icvised to suit their
views? That an Income tax should be
re-Imposed? Did Mr. McKlnley agree
to give up tho piotective policy of
which ho has been the most distin
guished champion, ptovided tho tariff
reformer would vote fur him? Did
he piomlse to get along with Insuf
ficient revenue- to live on a deficiency?
Our fi lends havo not been buncoed or
i heated. They got all they were prom
ised safety fiom Impending disaster
and nssuiance that national honor and
Institutions will bo pieseived at least
four ears longer.' Why do they stli
up discontent and foster discourage
ment In commetclal elides, when the
country needs only a little sensible
patience nnd foibearance, to glvo the
ndmlnlstiation, not yet two months
old, a chance to prove the efllclencv
of Its long avowed piinclples? Why do
thej do it? I cannot say. I only know
that the first notes they ia!so are sot
of gratitude for what they have been
spared, but of fault finding and unfair
complaint."
They complain because they are
built that way. It Is their one grip
on publicity.
- '
Mr. Bacon's resolution saying that
the United States Is for peace Is rather
a supeilluous wind, but peihaps at
this time it might pi event false Im
pressions. The Respons blllty Placed.
Elsewhere wo print the text of a
memoilal nddiessed by the Pennsyl
vania Civil Seivice Hefoini association
to the Pennsylvania legislature, uiglng
It to lemaln true to the Hepubllcan
patty's refoim pledges. We are solic
ited by the secretaiy of that associa
tion to leinforce this appeal with inde
pendent comment, but In view of the
frequency with which we have hither
to reminded tho legislature of Its ob
ligations In this dlicction, further ad
vice seems useless.
If by dcllbeiate violation or insincere
and Incomplete ledemptlon of Its sol
emn pledges tho Republican party,
thiough Its repiesentatlves at Ilauls
buig, shall Invite political retilbutlon
it will be an invitation extended dellb
eiately and with ample foreknowledge
of the consequences. Tho party press
In Pennsylvania, almost without ex
ception, has done Its duly. It has
sounded and lelterated unmistakable
warning. The responsibility therefore
will be upon the legislature Itself and
upon tho Influences b which' Its action
Is contiolled, and there we are disposed
to let it rest.
At the Bame time, it mubt not be for
gotten that those who precipitated up
on this legislature a factional contest
and afterward organized their follow
ing In that body into a permanent or
ganization for tho creation of discord
will have to tako their place In the de
fondants' box if the Hepubllcan party
shall be arraigned for fracture of con
tiact. Their guilt Is tho greater in
view of the tonsplculty with which they
have posed as prophetb and apostles of
a purer dispensation.
We learn from the Sun and that Hey.
Dr. Ralnsford, of New York, wants
endowed churches In order to get "free-
dom of speech In our pulpits," so that
ministers "may look at rich men and
poor men nllke, knowing no man's
fear and bowing to no man's favor"; so
that the clergy may be "absolute and
b(5yond tho control ot monetary con
siderations." If vvp recollect, there were
few endowed churches In Christ's time,
or In tho days of tho mnrtyrs. It Is
questionable If ministers can be pen
sioned Into being sincere.
According to tho Philadelphia Ledger,
"the motives prompting the defeat of
the arbitration treaty were of the most
contemptible character prejudice, ig
noiancc and personnl spite." Why this
temper? Arbitration Is Just as possible
as It ever was.
Speedy Action DenmWJwS
A careful comparison of the text of
the Dlngley bill as It passed tho house
with Its text after amendment by tho
senate finance committee leads to tho
onplnlon that upon the whole the bill
has been Improved. In certain respects
the senate bill Is inferior to the house
bill. For example, It puts on the free
list all woiks of art, which are luxur
ies for which the wealthy might well
pay a revenue duty. Its sugar sched
ule Is too favorable to the trust: its
tax on tea a bit of political rashness
that would bo suicidal if not sine to be
eliminated In conference; and Its In
crease In the beer tax one that, how
ever justlflublo on moial giounds,
seems of questionable expediency.
Hut on the other hand, its lowering
of the duty on steel lalls, which In the
light of iccent developments no longer
stand In need of protection; Its elim
ination of tho objectionable duty on
books imported for reference purposes
liv libraries; Its reduction of the du
ties on high-class wools, to the end
that Increased revonU2 may come by
reason of augmented non-competitive
Imports; and in general its
effort to adjust the various duties so
that there will be a greater certainty
of levenue than appealed In the higher
schedules of the original, or house,
maesure, strongly recommend It.
We do not concur In tho opinion that
tho differences between the two houses
of congress Indicated In the two drafts
are sucli as to ptesage a prolonged con
flict. Tho 'situation calls rather for
mutual concession In the hope of has
tening final action. It is not a time for
persistent advocacy of conflicting the
ories. The main point of Immediate
necessity Is to icpalr the gap In the
fedeinl revenues. This done, nltoiatlon
of details and "finishing touches" can
be supetndded at lelsuio. President
McKlnley has the right Idea when he
says he will sign whatever kind of a
bill congress will pass, piovided theie
is a reasonable certainty of Its accom
plishing the puipose for which this ses
sion of congiess was convened.
With such an assurance from tho
white house It would 111 become the two
blanches of congtess to bicker over un
important details.
Gossip at
the Capital
Special Correspondence of The Tribune.
V ashlngton. May 7.
Increased harmony in Hepubllcan ranks
nnd Ihci eased dissensions among Demo
crats are the leading features of tills
week's levcJopments In Washington. The
Republican members of the Si nate Fin
ance committee, who have been 1 iborlous
ly engage 1 upon the tariff bill, have ex
el Used such good judgment anil tact ,ti
shaping the bill thut there Is nason to
believe that ever Hepubllcan vote and
the vote of everj man who In past years
co-opi rated with the party will be tor the
bill, and this Insuies Its early passage and
enactment ns .t law. While this drift to
ward harmony Is ilcarly apparent among
the Hcpub'.lians, ihi mud rush in the U
lectlon of pait llsenlons Is even more
apparent among the Democrats, Half of
the members of that part In the house
havo eho-en to follow tho leadership of
that most erratic and ttremo of the
Populist leaders, Jerry Simpson, while the
other half have fallen Into line behind
CoiiRresstmn Ruilej, thus absolutelj di
viding in two equal factions the Demo
cratic partj in the house of representa
tives. When It Is remembered that theio
Is still a thlnl faction of the party In tho
Cleveland clement, and oven a fourth In
that wing of the part which Is now sup
porting piotoetlon, It will bo seen that tho
divisions are such as to leave tho Demo
el utlc party In a very much distracted
condition, while the Hepubllcans are not
only thoioughly harmonious, but bringing
back Into their own lunks, on the tariff
question, thos who temporarily alienated
themselves on currency issues.
Tho Important featuio of tho week wis
tho test vote In the house on Jerry Simp
son's demand that the speaker should ap
point tho committees. This had been a
troublesome question to the Democracy,
fcr that element which favored eo-opeia-tion
with tho Populists In the lust cam
paign had clung to Simpson and supported
his demand, while Air. HaDoy, who was
tho Democratic caucus nomlneo foi tho
speakership, has opposed Simpson's pro
position. This had already created a divi
sion between the members of the paity
favoring a conctlnuanee of the nll'arce
with tho Populists and thoe who were op
posed to finther association with this cle
ment of American politics Tho feeling
between these two factions had grown In
tense, and the final struggle came In tho
vote on n motion to lequlre tho speaker
to appoint committees. Upon this mo
tion one-half the Democrats voted with
lialliy after ho hnd made a strong uppeal
to the Democrats In the houso to cense
quarrelling nmong themselves, while tho
other hdlf voted with Simpson. It thus
appears that tho Democratic paity In the
house Is sp'.lt squarely In the middle upon
tho question of further co-opeiatlon with
tho Populists. This Is especially Interest
ing in view of the fact that all tho Demo
crats In tho houso belong to that wing
of tho Democracy which supported the
Urvnu ticket In ISM This makes it a
parent that even tho Ilrjau wing of the
party Is split In tho middle When It Is
taken Into consldeiatlon that the gold
Democrats aro still maintaining their or
ganization as a party, nnd that l'ie con
siderable section of the silver Democrats
are now favoring pioteetlon and even vot
ing for It in congress, It will be seen that
tho Hemostatic party Is more hopelessly
divided to-day oven than It was In the
campaign cf 1805.
Tho tariff bill has been completed, so
far as relates to the Senate rinanco com
mittee, and Is now ready for consideration
by tho senate. How long it will bo before
that body cannot of course be foretold,
but tho outlook for a reaEonablo degree of
speed In Its consideration appears to be
good, and thero is good reason to believe
that It will bo upon the statute books by
tho end of the fiscal .voir Membcis of
both parties aro recognizing tho fact that
I'othlng S3 disturbs tho business conUI
tlons of tho country, both among the
manufacturers and others us tho pendency
of a tariff measure of any sort, because of
tho fact that business contracts und un
dertakings cannot bo entered upon with
out definite knowledge as to what the
prices on Imported articles or tho rates
of duty will be. These facts are leading
men, Irrespective of party, to a desire for
prompt action slneo they know that a
buslines revival cannot be expected by
nnyobdy until tho tariff can tie put Into
operation and the immenso stock of for
eign good now coming Into the country
illspos 'd of and tho market opened td our
own manufacturers.
Tho department of ngilculturo Is re
cilving very gratifying reports from the
farming community. Tho continuation of
high prices for wheat, tho unusual foreign
demand for corn and tho activity among
farmers In preparing to make an earnest
experiment In tho production of sugar
beets, combine to make the condition
among that class ot population unusually
healthful nnd encouraging, "Dollnr
whent." for which farmers hnd scarcely
dared to hope, was coincident with the In
coming of McKlnley, while the extraor
dinary demand for their 'Mf.T adds to their
general encouragement. Coupled with
this comes tho activity and Interest felt
In tho exoerlments which are to bo mado
In nil parts of the country In tho produc
tion of our own sugar, nnd It Is apparent
that the farming community Is not only
feeling tht return of prosperity, but Is
occupjlng Its mind with cheerful thoughts
and prospects rather than the gloomy ones
which were n consant feature of the four
j ears of tho Cleveland administration.
Tho farmer Is likely to be well taken
caro of by that dlgnllled body, tho United
States senate. The tariff bill, reported
from the Finance committee of that boly
on Tuesday, has added a duty of 1H: cents
per pound on hides, Increased tho rate on
wool ot the third class, and cut out the
clause In the house bill which exempted
Hawaiian sugar fiom duties, thus reduc
ing thit competition with Leet sugar. Tho
duty put on, hides, ten, and other articles
which vvero formerly on the free-list will
lmpiovo tho opportunities for advantage
ous reciprocity treaties for which tho
senate will provide, and which will great
ly bciielit the farmer. It Is believed tho
house rates on wools of the first nnd sec
ond ch3s will be restored by the scnato or
confetence committee.
"We respectfully suggest that the He
publlcan part j, ns tho dominant party In
tho state and In the legislature, hns thus
become responsible to the people of the
commonwealth not simply for tho passago
of legislation which may to some extent
incorporate Into law thn principles of re
form, but emphatically for tho adoption
of thc"e very bills; nnd that every mem
ber elected upon the Hepubllcan plntform
Is therebj pledged to vote for them. We
believe that tho citizens of Pennsjlvanla
eninetly desire this legislation, and wo
found this belief upon the fact that wher
ever the people have had tho opportunity
of voting upon such mcasuies they have
given them thcli heaitj approval.
"Wo respectfully call your attention es
pecially to the adoption of stringent civil
servico laws bj the people of the state of
New York, and of tho cities of Chicago
and New Orleans. In Chicago, tho law.
submitted to popular vote, was adopted
by 50,000 majority; and In the state of
Massachusetts, where a simllaar law was
enacted In 1SS3, the people havo repeatedly
shown their npptoval ot Its provisions, It
cannot leasonably be doubted that tho
citizens of our own commonwealth are ns
sincerely anxious as those of other Ameri
can communities to Improve tho political
conditions by which Ihey mo surrounded.
We therefore respectfully, but most earn
est!, urge upon ou favorable action upon
the Civil Service bill as It now stands, and
upon other reform measures which will
como beforo our honorable bod."

Tho Pennsylvania Civil Service Herorm
asoc!atIon has addressed tho following
memorial to tho P(tinlvania legislature:
"The Uxtiutlve committee of the Penn
sylvania Chll Service Reform association
te-pectfull represents that inmois are
