Tho report Is renewed tliat as soon os th tariff hill Is out of tho way tho .president will by a special mestpge to " 'congress preclpllnto n currency agita tion and thus for a time siwll tho uood effects of a settlement of Uie tariff question. This report presupposes that " the president, who well knows that currency revision as an Iridescent dream during the present complexion of tho senate, Is the kind of a man ,-who;. would hazard a grand-stand play ior tho 'sake of placating a small con tingent of disgruntled Mugwumps. Wo cannot credit It. It Is not eloar even to those who bowl tho loudest for currency reform "what- measures nro needed to bring JL symmetry, security and greater elas- "tlclty to our currency. No two non strums agree. Tho experts themselves do not appear to be able to centre upon .any definite plan; and back of nil their fuss and clatter Is tho signifi cant fact that the currency system 'which now exists has served us well during nearly a decade of unrivalled prosperity and never gave rise to a suspicion of Inadequacy until sapped by Democratic blundering with tho government's revenues. Under theso circumstances, therefore, It is at least premature to hazard now a period of agitation which, though It should eventually result In legislation, could not possibly repair tho damage It would have caused In disturbance of business and new uncertainty ero It had reached the btage of finished law. What tho country wants Is a rest. What business needs Is a chance to re cuperate In peace. There has been a fcurfelt of scrapping and yelling and tho beating of tomtoms over this pol icy, that scheme and the other sure-pop revolutionizes In the past eight years each congress and each campaign have offered a brand new cure-all. The coun try Is lusty and can stand a good deal of dosing; but It feels at this time ns if it had had enough. Tho settle ment of the revenue problem so that It can tell where the dollar of Income can bo found to meet tho Inevitable dollar of expense exhausts the list of Imperative necessities in way of now legislation and wise statesmanship, eschewing the fad-followers, will now decree a. breathing spell. If this thing keeps on there will soon be talk of demonetizing gold. A Lesson from Toronto. The recent visit of American1 EpwVirth leaguers In Toronto opened many Yan kee eyes ns to tho possibilities in mun icipal government where, as In Toron to, that government is conducted with approximate honesty and reflects tho best opinion of the people governed. We propose to mention Just one fea turo o tho municipal superiority of Toronto over tho average city In the Mates, Scranton for Instance. In Toronto tho street railways are owned by the city and leased to the highest responsible bidder. From an Interest ing article In the Chicago Ilecord de scribing tho Toronto street railway Bystom we cull the following facts, which, unadorned, carry their own comment: The Toronto cars are large, comfor table and nice looking. Electricity is the only motive power. All the lines of the city are operated by a single company. Transfers are given at all points, and transfers on transfers If necessary, so that a passenger may go from any part of the city to any other for a single fare. The single cash faro Is 5 cents, but tickets good for six rides are sold for 23 cents. A special class of tickets Is also sold at the rate of eight for 25 cents, good for use be tween the hours of G.30 and 8 o'clock In tho morning and G and C.30 o'clock In the evening. These tickets are de signed especially to furnish cheap tran Blt accommodations to worklngmen go ing to and from their, work, but any one can take advantage of their use who happens to bo traveling at tho hours named. Tho city bought tho street railway eystem In 1S91, In obedience to an act "of, iparllament. Then it advertised for 'lllds from any person who might desire to take tho system and operate It. Certain conditions were laid down with which ever bidder must comply. He must ngree to pay for the plant tho 'p'rhSo at which It had been taken by tho city. Tho purchaser must not float bonds for a longer period than the life of the franchise, which was thirty years, and must satisfy the public au thorities that provision was mado for meeting obligations at maturity. The city was to have tho right to take back the plant at an nppralscd valuation at the expiration of tho franchise. The successful bidder must agree to ex tend tracks and street-car Bervlce upon tho recommendation of tho city en gineer, approved by a two-thirds vote of tho city council, The right to oper ate nil, sncli extensions ceases with tho expiration of tho main franchise. All such lines must be constructed In a manner satisfactory to tho city sub ject to tho determination of the city engineer, as approved by the council. Cars were to bo run at such, Intervals ns tho engineer and aainUll Wight specify. Tickets must he sold at tho rate' of six for 25 cents or twenty-five for ?1. Another class of tickets must be sold at tho rate of eight for 23 cents, good before 8 o'clock In tho morning und between 5 and 6.30 o'clock In the evening. School children must be sold tickets at tho rate of ten for 23 cents, good between S a. m. and G p. m. and not on Saturdays. I'ollcomcn and fire- men In Uniform must be carried free. There was a provision that cars must bo of approved design for service and comfort und must not bo overcrowded. Persons employed by the company must not bo compelled to work moro than ten hours a dny or more than sixty hours a week, and no adult par don should bo paid less than 15 cents an hour. The successful bidder must agree to pay tho city $S0O a year per mile of single track, or $1,000 per mile of double track, as rental for tho use of the streets. In addition to all this which must form a part of tho bid, the franchise was to be grunted to the responsible bidder who would offer tho largest percentage of gross receipts to tho city. To an American accustomed to tho hard luck tales told by traction lob byists In search of franchises these conditions might appear deterrent of bids but they did not prove so. There wero several good bids, and tho com pany which won obligated itself to pay Into tfio treasury of Toronto the foll owing percentages of gross receipts: On all receipts up to $1,000,000 a year, 8 per cent; between $1,000,000 and $1, 500,000, 10 per cent; between Jl.BOO.OOO and $2,000,000, 12 per Cent; between $2, 000,000 and $3,000,000, 1G per cent; on nil gross receipts over $3,000,000, 20 per cent. Last year Toronto received from truck rentuls $00,000 and from percen tages on gross receipts, $78,921.07, and yet the company made money. At cer tain hours for 3 cents ono can ride twelve miles In Toronto; and since tho present company took hold and equipped the enrs with fenders and other safety devices not a death has occurred on Its lines. If this sort of thing Is possible In Canadu, why should not similar con ditions and results bo possible In the United States? It would Improve tho chances of the striking bituminous miners If they could muzzle Eugene V. Dobs. Wheelmen and Sidewalks. Tho Tribune has received from Colonel George Sanderson the follow ing letter, which Is so opportune and sensible that ,we give place to It here with: Editor of Tho Tribune. Sir: Permit mo to commend you edito rially in today's i rpcr on tho abuse of our streets and sidewalks by wheelmen. As tho oldest In point of time -rider In tho city and one of the oldest members of tho League of American Wheelmen, I can do this without being considered nn antl bicyclo crank. Tho vast number of riders and tho carelessness of many of them mako restrictions and regulations neces sary, its they have become a positive dan Kcr to pedestrians, especially after night fall. It Is well known that the stretch of Washington avenue, where my residence Is located, is tho favorite resort for riders In tho evening. The other evening I at tempted to count tho number passing ono way In half an hour. I counted eighty In ten minutes and Btopped. Of these but twol had lanterns and numbers wero scorching. iPcoplo have been knocked overthero repeatedly and the riders passed on uitn "get out or tlio way." Ladies and children tro afraid to cross tho avenuo at times and nil havo to watch closely. Last night I dodged four times crossing the avenue which Is hero only SO feet in width. Wheels camo out of tho shadows with whirls nnd as silently as air, no lanterns, no warning of bells, ut terly careless. It Is needless to say this Is not a proper use of our streets. It has time and again been decided that blcyclca uro vehicles and ns such they should bo treated. Any well meaning wheelman or wheelwoman will rccognizo this and act accordingly. I havo no doubt tho trouble, sometimes encountered of broken glass, tacks, etc., is often duo to the resentment canted by tho careless arrogance of somo of our riders and tho quicker :hcy real ize that consistency is a Jewel and that our streets nro for all, tho quicker will tncy disarm tho growing resentment. It Is almost unnecessary to add that The Tribune takes Its present position as much out of respect for fair-minded riders of bicycles as out of regard for the comfort of those who do not ride. Nothing will more surely bring the whole pastime of wheeling into dis favor or .lead to the enactment of stringent and oppressive laws than the continued Inclination of Indifferent riders to usurp tho sidewalks or other wise abuse their privileges, and thus Incur the lesentment of the whole number of pedestrians. There Is abso lutely no excuse for the present riding of bicycles on the sidewalks. It Is a high-handed defiance of the rights of those who walk and the authorities should bo prodded by public opinion until they take measures to stop it. The precedent set by the Richmond, Va., court In the case of a negro rav Isher ought to exert a pacific Influence on the mob spirit In that section. With in live years after the commission of the crime the brute had been regularly Indicted, arraigned, tried, convicted and sentenced to bo hanged. Such celerity fairly disarms Judgo Lynch. Don't (Jet Excited. The Canadian press is greatly agi tated lest Canadian prospectors should not get their share of tho Klondike gold, which lies on Canadian soil, but which hitherto has been scooped up principally by tho more enterprising Yankees. The fact that the latter are capturing all the choice claims gives to one of our Canadian exchanges In particular the Tory Toronto World a severe conniption fit. Under tho head ing "Canada for Canadians," it says: "Canada must not allow the fabulous wealth of tho Yukon country to bo grabbed up by foreigners. Wo ought to assert our rights Immediately, Tho government should place a strong force In possession of tho country, and a big royalty Bhould be demanded of every ounce of gold produced. It Is the height of folly to allow foreigners, and particularly the people of tho United States, who havo been vexing our worklngmen with petty hostile legisla tion, to enter this country and carry off Its fabulous treasures. It looks as if there is gold enough In the Yukon country to pay off our national debt. Aro we not fools to allow tho Ameri cans free access to ull this wealth? Tho managers of tho Gorgo railway at Niagara Falls have Just discharged overy Canadian employed on the road. This Is the kind of treatment that Is being meted out to Canadians all over the Union. Aro wo not Justified In preventing tho ono hundred Americans who aro now on their way to Klondike from Seattle from getting an entrance Into the country under any considera tion? Wo might Just as reasonably al low the, Americans to como over and go throuch(our banks as to let them havo the run of the Klondike gold fields. Canada Is not benefited one lota by tho prcsenco of these American miners. Whatever trado has been es cstabllshod Is hi tho hands of Ameri cans. Seattle nnd tho towns of Alaska aro the basis of supply for tho country, Canadians are profiting In no way through theso American adventurers. Tho gold belongs to us. Why should wo not protect lt7" There Is no reason In the world why Canada shouldn't protect her gold ex cept that the gold-seekers have got tho start of the officials. The United States could not complain at tho exclusion of Its citizens from tho Canadian gold ter ritory, for It has Itself set tho cxamplo In excluding Canadians In many places from gaining a livelihood In our coun try. Thus tho right of complaint is de nied us by our own action. But the World must remember that there Is good gold territory In the American part of Alaska also, and If a time should comb when our argonauts arc kept out of her majesty's dominions, they need not look far to get revenge. In a race between Canucks and Yankee miners to see which could produce the largest yield, we do not doubt that tho latter could hold their own. Above nil therw Is no need of growing excited, for It the Klondike fields arc half as valu able us represented these few advance "finds" hardly skim the surface. Governor Hastings' veto of tho Ormc bill was a veto very much to the point. The bill If it had passed would simply have Increased the cost of miners' sup plies and made a lot of trouble with out doing a particle of good. It was conceived In buncombe, passed In bun combe, and now goes for burial to tho grave-yard of buncombe bills. Senator Tillman's threat to recite Senator Quay's tariff speech for fili bustering purposes indicates that he Is putting himself to unnecessary trouble. All that Tillman needs to do to kill time Is Just to press a button and open his mouth. The subject Is absolutely of no consequence. The postofflce department at Wash ington reports that tho last quarter's business wns tho largest "spring trade" since tho depression began. When pos tal receipts pick up it Is a sure sign that business generally is on the mend. The English Journals which so earn estly lament what they conceive to be the belligerent tendency of tho United States might do a good part toward peace and brotherly love by striving to do away with the causes of It. Dr. Talmngo has not yet tried the plan of preaching on the percentage basis In circuits. There ought to be money In one-night stands. Fell WopK of Oiir Prophets of Euil From tho New York Sun. Tho final passage of tho tariff bill and tho adjournment of tho extra session of congress will tend to relievo business from causes of disturbance which have been viciously active for a long tlmo past; but there is a baleful Influenco still remaining, deep-seated and pervasive, which must bo overcomo before wo can resumo our proper national progress. No other country In tho world has ever suf fered more bitterly in Its prosperity than has this republic during tho last ten 9r fifteen years from concerted assaults on tho commence in its political institutions and Its methods of government, tho mainstay of a country's moral and ma terial progress. These assaults havo been mado under the Inspiration of a malig nity bo virulent as to render them a vir tually treasonable conspiracy. o Slnco 1SS4, moro particularly, there has been a persistent and methodical effort to sow tho seeds of suspicion nnd dis content In this republic under tho pre tenco ot n movement for Its political ref ormation und elevation. It has proceed ed with tireless nnd vociferous disparage ment and detraction of our public men, of our political parties, and of our leg islative bodies. That is, its nssault has been on representative government under our American institutions. It started out on the false and vicious assumption that American society nnd American politics nro corrupt nnd decadent, and that tho character of tho representatives elected by tho people has deteriorated ominously in both moral nnd Intellectual quality. It assailed policies adopted and pursued by tho government -as selfishly and cor ruptly conceived for tho enrichment of tljo few nnd the Impoverishment ot tho many, thoiiKh they wero policies based on political principles which always havo been regarded as debatablo on their mer its and havo afforded tho ground for tho division of tho people Into opposing par ties, each respectful of tho honesty of conviction of tho other. Tho nssault was not mado on tho actual conduct and be havior of tho public men advocating them, but on tho nssumed baseness of their motives. It was not political debate. It was mero malignant defamation. o Thus a spirit was Introduced Into our politics tending to engender among the people dangerous suspicion. Tho animat ing purpose of those who sought to spread It was to destroy popular faith In polit ical leaders and political organizations be fore trusted nnd respected, Tho leaders wero denounced as tyrannical bosses, the parties ns corrupt machines. Tho parti sanship which is natural nnd essential In representative government was ridi culed ns a slavish subjection, to which only unenlightened minds would yield. The obedience ot a representative to tho party which had elected him rather than to tho behests of this band of defamers was treated us base servitude to a boss. They coined tho word "rulor" for tho president; a ruler by Divine right, and not tho representative of a policy formu lated by a party. They taught tho ut terly un-American and unrepubllcan doc trlno that the personal character of tho Individual elected, rather than tho prin ciples ot tho party electing him, was tho Important matter. They Imported Into our American politics tho abomin able heresy that tho caudldnto Is "a platform In himself." This Is tho cry they aro raising now with reference to n particular candidate for mayor of New York whom they are trying to torco Into nomination. They want him to be put up Bolcly on faith; and they havo picked him out speclllcally becauso ho doesn't represent a party, but himself only. Thoy havo declared that If ho should consent to be a paty candidate, they would not support oven him. Ho must refuse all party and representative obligations nnd bo governed solely by his own consclenco and Judgment, as If he were nn auto crat responsible only to Ood, a prophet, a being Rupernaturally Inspired of Heav en, or they will havo nothing to do with him. o This Is tho logical conclusion to which theso rebels against representative gov ernment havo gone, and which they havo been endeavoring to educate tho people to adopt by persistent detraction nnd de famation of tho actual representatives of tho people und of the government, ns It nctuully Is conducted and administered under tho constitutional American sys. tern. They lmvo bought with malevolent Industry to generate and propagate a spirit of distrust, suspicion, and contempt of authority and all those who excrclsa It under commission rrom tne people. Theso vicious efforts havo been most suc cessful among the part of tho commun ity which flatters Itself with tho notion mat it is superior to tho rcsc becauso It Is not warmed by a patriotism which 1 dwells on Its cbuntry's glory rather than Its RUporflclal blemishes. Tho spirit ot defamation of America wns first propa gnlcd In tho colleges, and thenco It spread to clubs nnd coteries of lmnglnary criti cal refinement. It has not chilled alio patriotic enthusiasm of tho great mass of tho people, but It has Insidiously own In them tho seeds of querulous discon tent. It has encouraged them 'to revolt ngnlnst conservative party leadership and to assert dnngerously their Independence of tho salutary restrnlnts of partisanship, and thus becomo un undisciplined politi cal mob. In fine, tho purposo of this malign movement has been th6 destruc tion of cxIsthiR organized parties, with a view to producing- political chaos pimply. Those cngnged In It have noth ing conservative to propose. Their enter prise Is destructive only. As a direct con sequent of their malevolent activity, tne Democratic party has been disrupted nnd, for tho tlmo being nt least, completely disintegrated. A great conservutlvo forco In this republic from Its very foundation has thus been peiortod Into a baleful Boclal nnd political ngency. Mugwump cry tried to break up tho Republican party In 1S81, but It failed to accomplish moro thnn to assist In Its temporary de feat. Tho victory, however, brought ruin to tho Dcmocrntlo party; for It turned out In truth to bo tho victory of Mug wumpery nnd not of Democracy. Dem ocracy did not como Into power, but camo under subjection to n Mugwump "ruler." When again elected In 1892 ho completed tho disruption of tho Dcmocratio purty nnd brought about its disintegration. Tho old Democratic party gavo placo to a new party with radically opposing prin ciples. o Meantime tho spirit of distrust nnd de famation, of which this "ruler" was tho representative, had worked Injuriously to nil departments of business. Confidence gave placo to gloomy misgivings. Tho op timistic feeling which had characterized this young and aggressive country was replaced by a spirit of doubt ns to tho wisdom and security of our Institutions pnd tho value of the actual results of our American political methods, It was the bear Bplrlt replacing the bull (spirit which needs must always characterize a progressive people. Tho fashionable cry became a howl that congress and the legislatures of American states generally had fallen Into hopeless decadence; that our public men nnd deollned In nblllty and moral respectability; that tho "boss" had arisen ns a consequence; and that or ganized parties wero merely corrupt ma chines. Such was tho howl that went up unceasingly, though every competent student of our political history knew that In our political methods and In tho char acter of our public men there had been advance rather than retrogression. o The tlmo has como when this treason able defamation of tho great American republic must bo stopped if wo are to havo progress and prosperity. It has been suffered to go on too long without the sharp rebuko It deserves from public opinion. Its continuance has Involved In. calculablo Injury to this country and all Its interests. It has lowered American rep utation In the eyes of the world, lessened confldenco in American tntcgrlty, secur ity, nnd enterprise, and spread among the people nt homo dangerous dtssuttsfnc tion with conditions insepnrablo from hu man society. Tho men ana tho newspa pers engaged in propagating this spirit of defamation, detraction, nnd suspicion must bo curbed by the business commun ity more especially, and compelled to de sist from their essentially treasonable enterprise. This country is now enter ing upon a new stage in Its development, and, in order that It may proceed un hampered In the fulfilment of Its destiny, the influences of which wo havo spoken must bo repressed by tho wholo force of our society and our politics. They con rtituto a dangerous conspiracy against our national prosperity. NEED OF A BANKRUPTCY LAW. From the Iancaster New Era. Thero is perhaps no Jaw needed so much by the honest business men of tho United States today as a fair bankrupt law. Just now there is no national law on this sua Ject and tho etnto laws more often protect the dishonest dobtor than the honest ci editor. In fact, tho need of such a la.v has become bo urgent in tho largo cities thnt something must soon be done for tho better protection of creditors. Thero has been a. lamentable decadenco in tho old fashioned morality onco so conspicuous in American mercantile history. There are still eomo men whoso word Is as good as their bond, but to ono such thero are twenty who do not measure up to thai standard. o At this moment there nro nearly half a hundred firms In the woolen trado In New York who are trying to find out what bo came of $uO,f)0 worth of goods which wero procured from them aurlng tho past thirty days and which dlsapjjearert as if by magio from the storo of the now bank rupt concern that purchased thorn. This, however, is only a typical case. Others like It occur every week In tho year. Men make a business to procure mer chandise from confiding oredltors, which they immediately sell to third parties at much less than cost. Of course, they are never paid for, and It was never meant that they should to. . o The parties who buy them from these fraudulent venders often put them on the bargain counter and sell them at prices much below thoso which the first vender can bell them at. Tho honest merchant cannot compete with that kind of busi ness. He, therefore, loses his trade, and Is frequently himself forced Into bank ruptcy. This namo pervades every line of trade, nnd calls loudly for correction. Not tho least part of tho evil Is that many lawyers nro to bo found who mako a spe cialty of arranging and settling these dls honest failures. A good national bank rupt law would not only glvo honest creditors their dues, but would drive such unscrupulous lawyers out of their present methods of doing business. And yet con gress has for many years refused this poor boon to tho defrauded merchants of tho country. TOLD BY THE STARS. Dnily Horoscope Drawn byAJncchus, Tho Trlbuno Astrologer.
