That Allen Tax Decision. The decision of JudRO Acheson In the United States Circuit court at Pitts burg that the law recently enacted In this state, niacins a tax of three cents ler day per man nominally upon em ployers of nllcu labor, but actuully up on the aliens tluansclves, Is in conflict with' the Fourteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United- States, wherein It Is set forth that no state may "deny ti any 'Person within, Its jurisdiction the- equal protection 'of the laws" will doufitli'ss Inaugurate a long train of analytical Interpretations of the clause Just a"ted. That it will act as a fhanenae t the yet formidable sentiment In fnvrtr of state's rights Is very likely, in the Jlght ot past conten tions hlnclnR upon the limit of stato authority in legislation. Hut however this may be, the decis ion will certainly cause ti sigh of relief to arise from the managers of large labor-employing corporations In the commonwealth, to whom the new tax law has meant much annoyance and confusion: and it will not be greatly regretted by the mass of citizens. Ex cellent as the 1.1.W was in intent to pro tect native and naturalized labor and in some degree to reimburse those who pay taxes for the expent-e of keeping open house for thf benefit of those who don't It proved In operation a distinct disappointment. Instead of diminish ing the competition eonfrontlng Ameri can labor It had slmi)ly the one effect of driving all kinds of aliens In hordes to the naturalization ermirt to start the process of lesal metn.morphosls into citizenship, and thus the tax was es caped, the jail expenses remained the same as before and the ortly sure result was a further muddling of the civic currents. The determination of the present na tional administration to bend every possible energy to the correction of nbuses In immigration will soon remove a good deal of the provocation for such n law as the one now under considera tion. That which shall remain will be regarded as a natural heritage from past carelessness in this direction, and may be endured philosophically. - - The now premier of Spain says he lias personal Information that the in surrection in Cuba is "approaching an end."

Under this caption Speaker Reed contributes to the Illustrated Ameri can a characteristic article putting sound philosophy Into witty epigrams and seasoning cold facts with the Yan kee drollery for which he is so Justly famed. First, he notes the alterna tion throughout recorded history of lean times and fnt, and next he sug gests that the present period of re covery from one of the lean times Is a .suitable occasion to search for the con cealed good, adding drily: "I suppose that even the saints who are made perfect through suffering do not quite appreciate the process until it is over." . The lesson he would Imprss is word ed thus: "We have in the United States and its wonderful upllftlngs In the direction of wealth, special temp tations, and we stay prosperous, in our minds at least, longer than other nations. We make hay abund antly when our sun is shining and our barns are full. Why should we be careful about hay? Let the cattle trample on It and be bedded In It. Wo have plenty. Why should we, who re vel In abundance, glean also the fields like the poor? In such times we all become lavish and expect pennies to take care of themselves. We go on from one folly to another. We spend capital and persuade ourselves that we are only spending income. By our extravagant ways wo honey- ( comb what we have. Uy and by con fidence gets broken up and the clock strikes for settlement." During the period of settlement nec- . essarles of life alone are purchased, and in this very fact, tough as It Is at tho moment upon the man whoso business consists of supplying articles which are : not necessary, Sir. Reed llnds a sourco of benefit. As he puts it: "A neccs sary of llfo may be a necessary at $1 and an impossibility at 2. Hence all the energies of tho producers at such it period is bent upon the problem: How can I bring the price of this thing within tho meahs, the diminished means, of those who want it at $1 and do not want It at $i? When you spread this idea and mnko it active all over tho trade of the world, or even over tho trade or the United States alone, you can see what a power It Is. It sets Inventive genius at -work In all direc tions. It makes economies possiblo , which were never dreamed of, and never could be dreamed of, In the days . of prosperity. Thin reduction of tho cost of production is carried all over the country and throughout all of the industries. It Is, Indeed, entirely with In hounds to say that tlie direct result of tho hard time is that we have low. ered the cost ot production of all things on an average more than 15 per cent." And the result? "Thi aavlng of cost of production ve carry into the next period of prosperity with all that that implies. With the next Tun of good prices, lower thcfogli they will be than for former years, we shall have a sim ilar margin of profit and wealth will resume Its accumulation. Wo have also been snvlng money. Wo have been accumulating capital, capital which Is free from encumbrance, which Is dis posable to the best bidder. We have, as a single Item, added G.OOO miles to our railroad, and $300,000,000 to their capital and vdlue. Our savings banks show similar Increase, Indicative of much we do not Bee. One hundred and eleven million dollars measure the Increase in New York stato alone. In the banks of the same state $118,000,000 have been piled up In excess of the best previous prosperous year. We have reorganized our great trunk lines beyond tho Mississippi on so sound a basis that 'the hope Is not unreason able that they will never again need It any more than will tho Pennsylvania railroad or the New York Central. Whether the time has come for tin other period like that between tho years 1879 and 1S92 we cannot bo ut terly sure, for while we can discover the looming of the great headlands of the shore wo can never be sure of tho dlstnnci'. Nevertheless, of this we can be sure, some of tho foundations of prosperity have been laid broad and deep, nixl It cannot be long before the superstructure will begin to rise, a superstructure worthy of the past, and worthy of a world which, however It may seem to falter, Is always stead ily advancing toward a richer pros perity and a greater civilization." Thus, "sweet are tho uses of adver sity would llko the toad, ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in Its head." The philosophy seems sound nnd it certainly Is consoling.- m The Scrantonlan who docsnit go to Klondike next spring but stays at home and improves tho chances close at hand may not at the end of the season have quite so many dollars as the bonanza seeker, but he will have had a vast deal more fun, and if he is smart he will also have a goodly supply of lucre. Next year is going to bo a daisy for Scranton. It Will Not Do. Our esteemed contemporary,, the Philadelphia Press, thinks that it Judges can keep the peace by injunc tions, they should be upheld in issuing Injunctions. In other words, the end justifies the means, even though the means .make a mockery of trial by Jury and clothe the Judiciary with powers properly belonging to co-ordinate de partments of the government. It would not be dllllcult on this prin ciple, to construct a theory justifying lynch law or assassination or executive absolutism on the ground that such means often accomplish apparent good. It is to tho credit of the great mass of worklngmen engaged In the bitumin ous strike that they have respected the Injunction of tho court out of defer ence to the official dignity of the Judici al position. For their moderation in the face ol provocation they merit public commendation, and will ultimately re ceive their reward In a Just review of their course- nnd of the course of their adversaries nnd of the injunct Ing judges before the supreme court of public opinion. Rut none the less this modern use of the judicial prerogative, though upon occasions it may produce good results, will not finally receive tho aoproval of the American people. This is a government of, by and for the people, and one of the granite rocks uphold ing its whole structure Is tho principle that every man is to be regarded as Innocent of crlino until proved guilty before a Jury of his peers. To dis pense with Juries, executive authority and legislatures entirely, in behalf of a Judicial assumption of the combined powers of judge, Jury and executioner, would not be worse In degree than to permit the assumption of these co-ordinate powers by the Judges through Injunctions at their pleasure. Tho sense of fairness resident in the mass of our citizenship can be re lied upon in the long run to check any such perversion of tho underlying spir it of our institutions. Dollar wheat means dearer bread, ot course; but It also means the where withal to pay for dearer bread. Pros, perlty never accompanies a falling market. Poetic Justice. Considerable criticism has been ex cited by the fact that the Republicans of Virginia have decided not to nomin ate a stato ticket this fall. The rea son given for this decision is that the election machinery is so thoroughly In the hands of the Democracy that a fair count is out of the question and that to go through the form of a campaign with no possible hope of winning, even should the Republicans as a matter of fact poll a majority of tho votes, would be simply a fource of useless expense and exasperation. We cannot call the decision wise or the excuse adequate. If Republicanism meant in Virginia what it should mean, those who believe in it would fight for their principles and their rights, to tho last ditch. Courts exist for the punish ment ot persons guilty of crime at the polls, and if the courts do not ad minister Justice in such cases there is sufficient potency In the conscience of public opinion even In Virginia to en able suitors with Just claims ultimate ly to reform tho courts nnd to secure an Impartial hearing. Those who have advised this policy of cut and run in the face of obstacles are not chips of the block of true Republicanism. At tho same time there Is something akin to poetic Justice in the circum stance that the discouragement of the Republicans of Vlrulna in party con Itlct com.'s not long after tho refusal of Republicans when In power In tho nation to take stjps to make more pro bable In such states as Virginia a free ballot and nn honest count. The fed eral elections bill defeated during tho administration of General Harrison would have enabled tho Republicans of Virginia, to make a promising and a comparatively eaBy light for their rights. Ite defeat shut tho door of hope upon the Republicans of many parts cf tho south. They of course should not despair but they aro not alone to blame. The redoubtable pugilist, Fltzslm mons, can, In a day, In Scrunton, draw two audiences .(ggregatlng 9,000 people-, while the best rencher In the city es teems himself fortunate If the total attendance nt his Sunday services Is one-ninth as large. Rut wo must re member that while there nrcmnny good preachers there Is only one chnmplon bruiser. Let distinction, therefore, have its rewards. The chances are that few preachero would care to trade places wlth'Fltz. It Is very fitting that the president of the Universal Pcaoo union now in ses sion at Mystic, Conn., should bear the gentle name ot "Love." Almost any one would be willing and even anxious to bo called a man of peace if, like President Alfred II. Love, he could hope to secure the Interest of two million dollars left Uy Alfred Noole, of Stock holm, the Income of which is to bo willed to the Individual who has done most for peace in tho world. A peti tion In favor of Mr. Love and signed by a multitude of admirers will soon bo forwarded to the Norwegian Parlia ment, live members of which have the awarding of the bequest. That distinguished Rrltlsh savant, Lord Kelvin, fears that before the world's stock of fuels shall be gone Its supply of oxygen will bo exhausted. It is true that many men oxygenize un necessarily. Mr. Rryan isn't going to Mexico, for the reason that ho Is learning too many things right where he is. THE KLONDIKE GOLD BUQ. Selected Kdllorlnls. Our subscribers aro requested to call in at once and drop a portion of their dust. Deputy Sheriff Pat Grogan has been looking over our stock recently and threatens to llnd a purchaser unless wo arrange several buck accounts in short order. There Is no truth In tho report that one of Andree's pigeons had been shot over on -Yukon Hats. With Its usual enterprise tho "Dug" sent a special rep resentative over to tho flats who was given carte blanche to thoroughly sift tho matter. Instead of gaining knowl edge about tho north pole our special correspondent discovered that the sup posed pigeon was one of old SI Jono's game roosters that escaped from the coop about six weeks ago, and states tho fact In a full account of his Investigation, which appears In another column. We aro of tho opinion that the fake rooster story was simply nn advertising dodge calculated to call attention to the town lots in Yukon flats which have not been selling like "hot cakes" since the "Hug" began to boom property at Dead Man's Junction. We have been turned down. The wall eyed dude, who wears a Rhinestone scarf pin and takes tickets at tho second, rate theater, known as Slntter's pavll llon, has refused the editor of the "Bug" the usual courtesies. In other words we will bo obliged to pay to see the show. This is all right, but In the future tho columns of tho "Rug" will not bo filled with slop concerning the cheap attrac tions at the pavilllon. When Mr. Slatter engages an ex-washerwoman, with a copper-lined voice to bleach her hair, dress In short clothes and sing the "Ilaggnge Car Ahead," we shall not say that she was a New York society belle, or that she ever was admired by the Prince of Wales. If her voice causes palpitation of the ear drum wo shall say so. And tho next time 11111 Swartzman attempts to piny "Itomeo" we shall Inform the public of the spectacle he creates with his two hundred pounds of Teutonic fat and advlso him to return to his old voca tion of selling Frankforts. Mr. Slatter mny keep his theater tickets, but here after the dramatic criticisms in the "Rug" will be founded on fact. For Uniformity in Sfafe Divorce LauJs From tho Times-Herald. The American Rar association has been moving or tho adoption ot uniform laws governing marriage and divorce In tho United States. At tho last national con vention held by the association a sub committee on divorces was nppolntcd to investigate this subject and report to tho uniform law commission of that body. It has completed Its labors and has submitted a report, which will be laid before the association at Its pres ent meeting. If the plan proposed meets the approval of the bar association nn attempt will be made to induce the va rious stato legislatures to enact it Into law. o The bill proposed by tho committee does not aim to prescribe tho causes for which a divorce may bo granted, but leaves this matter discretionary with tho various states. It Is modeled after tho law In force In tho District of Columbia nnd lays down many requirements con cerning residence, notification, proofs of marriage and the manner of hearing tho trial. In brief, It provides for n resi dence of two years In tho state In which suit for divorce is brought, and requires that tho defendant shall be served per sonally within the state unless he shall appear voluntarily In tho action. It nlso provides that tho court may order no tice of suit by publication If tho defend, ant at the time lie a nonresident of tho state, provided tho cause of action arose while ho was a resident of tho stato and ho has been absent from tho stnto for one year after tho return Ot a summons not found. AH divorce hearings must bo held in open court, and no divorce i-hall bo granted for default unless tho court shall be satlsllcd by evidence that all proper means have been taken to no tify tho defendant and the causo of di vorce has been fully proved. No divorce shall affect the legitimacy of children of such marriogo unless the union shall bo declared void because of a prior mar riage. Tho court may direct tho custody of children und shall mako an nllowance for any woman suing for divorce who Is poor nnd unable to pay the expenses of tho suit. Marriages in a foreign stato or country may be proved by acknowl edgment of the parties or by circum stantial evldenco according to common law practice. o That urgent necessity for dlvorco re form exists In this country cannot bo questioned. In general tho proposed law undoubtedly would go far to correct many of the evns of tho present lax sys tem. Under tho present regime each stato Is a law unto Itself concerning di vorces. South Curollna grants no di vorces. Severnl states grant them for ono causo only; others recognize from two to a dozen or more, as legitimate grounds for legal separation. Until re cently n residence of sixty or ninety days was sufficient In certnln localities to establish a residence for dlvorco pur. poses, and mlsmated malcontents could take a Hying trip to Dakota or Oklaho ma o elsewhere, and return a few months lutcr freed from matrimonial thraldom. Any movement which will regulate dlvorco nnd reduce tho evils which havo engrafted themselves upon tho system will bo welcomed by tho great mass of tho American people, who believe In the purity of tho homo nnd tho sanctity of tho marrlago obligation.

Tho ridiculous coirplex system of single, double, triple, qundrup'.e, quintuple nnd oven In some cases sextuple discounts from printed price lists now prevailing In somo tndes where competition Is keen has reached a height of absurdity which It Is hard to believe can actually exist In any business conducted by sane per sons,. In the gas pipe trade, for example, "57 per cent, orf the price list" may seem to the uninitiated qulto n liberal discount; but there nro "trailers" added to this, llko knots on a kite's tall, Increasing in num ber according to tho slzo of tho order and the standing of tho customer. "Fifty, seven per cent, and six tens olt" Is a fa miliar quotation in this trade; and as wo presume that the majority of our readers will not understand the meaning of this technical phraseology wo will do tho arithmetical sum for their benefit. Thus nn arttcSo is listed perhaps at ono dollar; 57 per cent, off leaves -13 cents not; 10 per cent, oft of 43 leaves 3S.7 cents; 10 per cent, oft of 3S.7 leaves 31.83 cents; 10 per cent, oft of 31.8.1 leaves 31.35 cents; 10 per cent, oft of 31.33 leaves :8.'J2 cents; 10 per cent, off of 28.22 leaves 23.1') cents; 10 per cent, orf of 25.40 leaves 22.80 cents the net price of tho article! o Tho Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter In Its latest Issue, in discussing tho condition of tho plate glass trade, says: "It is not be hoved that there Is much profit In selling nt th present low price or 90 per cent, off tho list." Further on we read: "It is thought by some people Interested In the business that tho end is not yet, and that 90 an-d 10 per cent, will be reached before the war Is over." Discounts of "80 and 20 and 10" per cent arc allowed by manufac turers of steel screws; and were it not for fear of confusing our readers we might penetrate still deeper Into th's maze of discounts. o What Is tho explanation of such seem ingly puerile, or rather Imbecile, pro ceedings? There appears to bo a magic chnrm In discounts. The customer is supposed to believe, and ho often does, that for some occult reason the seller Is giving him peculiar favors. No matter how transparent the trick may be, tho purchaser seems to be incapable of pene trating it; ho Is hypnotized by the mystic charm of the sextuple discount. This is the more remarkable when wo reflect that tho purchaser Is, perhaps, also a manufacturer engaged in playing the same game himself. One obvious result of this method of transacting business Is to wipe out the small retail traders, who can not obtain the sextuplo dis counts which larger dealers Insist upon. The discount system has penetrated al most every trade, from the selling of ponderous power punches to little pills; and the only advantage of a printed prlco list Is to beguile the unlnltlnted retail purchaser Into the belief that he is se curing a bargain when ho buys nn nr tlcle at a cost less than the printed price list. o A few years ago, before the depart ment stores embraced so wide a range of sales, tho book publishers sold books at retail often nt the full list price, and the catalogue with prices attached was conspicuously displayed and consulted for the purchaser's benefit. If the pur chaser, however, "knew the ropes" ho could always obtain nt least 10 per cent, discount, and often a great deal more than this. Now tho purchaser Is re lieved of the necessity of this counter play by purchasing the book at a fixed price at a department store. When tho department stores first began to sell books tho retail purchasers could ac tually obtain new books cheaper at their counters than by buying directly from tho publishers. Rook publishers do not now seem to bo able to meet the com petition of rival retail sellers of their own products, nnd nro giving up tho attempt. It Is evident that trade dis counts havo attained such V height of absurdity that tho whole system has becomo top-heavy, and Is liable to fall at any moment. ELECTRICITY IN MODERN LIFE. From tho Chicago Record, An idea of tho extent to which electric ity has entered Into the every-day aftairs of American cities may bo gained fro.n t"e experience of Patersun, N. J., last week, which for two nights and two days had tho mlsfortuno to be deprived ot elictrlc service through an necldent to the plant of the local electric company. When the company coistructed Its now power station, from which the city of Paterxon nnd the s-n rounding country are supplied with electric current for lighting, railway nnd power service, it placed at tho to;, of the building an enormous bin having a capacity of a thousand tons of coal. This bin had beei filled, and It seems that tho Btraln was too great, for the supports gavo way, precipitating tho contents to tho engine room. The steam plant was entirely wrecked nnd tho machinery al most completely bi.rled. o Tho accident happened at 4 o'clock Sat urday afternoon: as a result business was Immediately suspended In the town, and was not resumed until tho damago to tho machinery at tho power house had been repaired and tho plant again started up. All tho stores were closed at night fall, and this of Itself means much in a city llko Paterson, where the entire pop ulation goes 'uptown" on Saturday night to look Into tho shop windows and settlo accounts for the week. Tho streets were in darkness and tho trolley cars stalled In all parts of the city and on the lines extending out Into tho country and con necting nelgnborlng towns. The young people wero deprived of tho pleasure of trolley parties, which are very popular In New Jersey, and electric fans, which might havo stirred up refreshing breezes for those who were compelled to remain In the sweltering city, refused to turn. And all this time many were in Ignorance of tho causo of the trouble, as tho even ing paper of tho town wero among the sufferers, and, being deprived of power with which to operato their presses, were forced to suspend publication temporarily. o So general was tho Inconvenience arls lug from this temporary shut-down that considerable publlo Interest was mani fested in tho affairs of tho electric com pany and Its relations to the community. It was found upon examination that, In addition to furnishing current for tho operation ot tho street car system of tho city and tho lines extending Into tho sur rounding country and connecting several villages, many local Industries depended upon the electrlo company for power. Among these wero sl'.k and rug manu factories, machine shops and printing plants. There are 132 motors of various sizes errployed In furnishing power in this way, and 12.0W fans for ventilating purposes. Three churches employ motors for pumping their organs, and on this oc casion tho service was conducted with out music. Probably tho most Important feature of tho company's business, and at any rate tho ono In which tho public was most directly Interested, was tho lighting of tho streets of tho city and country. For this purpose 900 arc lights are employed. In addition to this, tho stores nnd offices of the town aro liberal customers of the electrlo company, and many private residences are supplfed from he same siurce. All tol thero are 1.10 arcs and 20.000 Incandescent commer cial lamps used In the town. It must be evident to central station managers that the utmost care and the best engineering skill should he employed where tho ser vice is ofsuch great importance. Kxnct Information Required.
