We deem It hanlly likely that the ofllcers of this lety knew, when they signed the lease, to what bHse uses thin fellow Keiiyvecsy Intended to jmt their prop ert. They are respectable and re siierted citizens, who cannot have (yinpHthy with the vlleness In which tlielr present tenant traffics. We therefoic notify the Llederkranz of the Imposition which must have heen P'-acllced upon them and express our l.elief thnt they will piomptly take stcjis to ill their premises of Its pres ent pollution. The Philadelphia Inquirer says "there is no doubt thnt the coming stnle con vention will be expressive of the will ot the people." Hut theie Is. and that's where all the trouble comes In. The Y. fl. C. A. Fire. The burning of the Young Men's Christian association .seems at the time a serious blow but It will prob ably prove to bo a blessing disguise. It will If the Christian enterprise of the community shall come to the front with the substantial help which the occasion so manifestly ealla for. Although when It was built the re cent structure was a model of Its kind, subsequent Improvements In building and new developments In as sociation work had In later years mudp it In many respects Insufficient. While much of this loss by lire Is Irreparable there Is strong consolation In the fact that the new building sure to be erect ed over the ruins of the old will enable the association to bring Its plans and equipment fully up to date and start it forward on its beneficent mission witli virtually a new lease of life and public sympathy. The fire teaches a number of lessons, one Is the doom of the various-named machine which was the primary cause of it. The public, with this warning In mlrid, will not again take the Irtiz aid of attending entertainments In which It plays n part. AVe desire in this connection to commend the judg ment of the management of the Acad emy of Music and Lyceum theateis in canceling all engagements with attrac tions by which this unsafe instrument Ih utilized. It is a precaution taken In time It would lie unfair to omit mention, r.nd generous mention, of the superb work of the lire department on this trying occasion. Experienced Judges assert that Scranton firemen never had a more dltllcult fire to handle. In Just .":! minutes after the alarm first sound ed the great walls fell: a record of HUlek couihu.nlou not likely soon to b. surpassed. Yet In the face of these tremendous dltllcultles and in a heut sufficient to ciack plate glass windows ::uu feet nway. the firemen held their ground and by their intelligent work Piactlcally confined the flames to th'e tinder-like building In which they orig inated, saving property enough to sup port tiie department ten years. Work like this cannot be too highly praised. It Is foolish to cry over spilled milk. The damage Is done. The most useful building In the city is In ruins. It must be rebuilt. Such work cannot stop. It must go on. While rebuild ing, why not enable the association to rebuild properly? What's In a name? Hev. AV. C. S.wearer Is a very devout young man who In Match will sail for Korea as a missionary of the Methodist Episco pal church. An Undignified Attitude. The Buffalo Express prints a lot of statistics collated .from the eleventh census and calculated to show that foreign Immigration is not responsible for nearly so much of the Illiteracy In this country ns Is generally supposed. "It Is patent," adds our contemporary, "that native Illiteracy Is not to be re duced by merely shutting out Ignorant foreigners." True enough. Hut that Is not the point at Issue. The American people by free schools, free text books and compulsory education, can hi time take ram of their native Illiterates. They cannot, however, make progress if for every step wlileli they take In a for ward direction In tho education of tho English speaklpg Illiterates an unre. utiltte'd Inpourof Illiterate aliens forcen them, to fuy backward two fteps; and this Is about the condition or affairs at this time. Those ;!io oppewe (he ll(erucy test of tho Lodge bill as being an Imperfect stundard whereby to Judge the worth of a candidate for entrance into the United States qrn not without Homo points ot reason In tlielr arguments. AVe guess nobody pretends that the liter acy test Is perfect Fiitortunatcly ItB critics offer no superior sub stitute. Then content themselves with denouncing II on general principles, and In the face of a problem which even they admit Is of extreme gravity they piescnt no better llguie thnn that of shallow obstructionists who appear to be determined to be "azln the government " AVe shall not now undertake to con trovert the figures of the Buffalo Ex press, for the very good reason that the Express' argument ran readily be conceded by every believer In Immigra tion restriction without In the slightest degree weakening the ense for restric tion. Common observation sulTlces to satisfy any fair-minded American whose lot has been cast In close prox imity to the chunnels of alien Immigra tion that this government has been entirely too uudlscrlinluntlng In Its political hospitality. This fact Is writ ten all over the face of the Industrial centers of Pennsylvania. It is written so plainly that n blind man could read It. Argument on this point would be as superfluous as a heating stove In Tar tat us. Congress will pass the Lodge bill, the president -will sign It and In operation It will vindicate Its .sponsors. By the exclusion of Ainetlcan fruit, which Is better and cheaper thun the French and Italian products, Ciernutny has Indicted n great wrong upon the poorer classes of thnt country. A more vivid illustration of the "folly of cut ting off one's nose to spite (he face was probably never given than this silly attempt on part of the Prussian min is ,er to get even with the United States f r some fancied grievance brought bout by the present tnrlff laws. Service Worthy of Pay. Tiie following Is taken from Wllkes-Barre Times: There Is such a great contrast In the the amount of losses fitm llres in this city and In Scranton that there must be some wiy of accounting for It rather than to ascribe It to accident. The conditions as to sort of buildings nnd Inflammability of contents arc about the same in both cities so tliHse call be lelt out of con sideration In looking for the causes. These being eliminated there is only one other season we can think of to account for the greater amount of losses In Scrairi ton and that Is that there must be a dif ference in the efllcleney of the fire de partments, which acts to Scranton's dis advantage. We have never heard any charge that Scranton's department was not u good one but we know that It Is made up of volunteers who receive no pay and must earn their living away from the eiiKlno houses. In the nature of things these men are not able to respond to an alarm of lire with tlielr apparatus in anything like the timo In which It Is doin" by a department like our own where the men are p.ild regular salaries and are always in the engine houses prepared to rush out own before the gong which in dicates the location of the fire lias done striking. As it is manifest to anyone that to the firemen five minutes at the breaking out of a fire Is worth an hour later on It would be prudent for the city government of Scranton to look Into the matter and inquire If it would not be more profitable to pay out a little more money for fire protection and consider ably less fur tire losses and Insurance premiums. it Is only fair to say In behalf ot the local fire department that while In the !naln the foregoing observations arc undoubtedly true, It was not a lack of promptness which caused the fire loss on Thursday evening. AVe venture to say that no company In the state could have made quicker time In getting to the scene of the trouble than was made by the first companies which arrived on that occasion. This was Bimply a fire which no human power could have conquered at any stage. At the same time, we concur heartily In the argument for n paid depart ment, believing that the good work man in any line of human endeavor Is worthy of his hire. A city having in It the wealth, enterprise and lire lia bility of Scranton Is unfair to itself when It leaven most of its firemen to work often nt imminent rl.sk for noth ing. In The Tribune of Jan. I'l appeared ait editorial In which quotation was made of some exceedingly interesting and Instructive statistics showing the tendency of crime In New York city. These figures, which were compiled by Police Magistrate Deuel of that city, showed quite clearly that crime of all kinds Is on the decrease, due account being taken of the increase In popula tion. AVe have since learned that the article from which these figures were taken by us was specially prepared for Town Topics, of New York, a credit we should have accotded at that time If we had then known it to be due. Tiie Binghnniton Leader hastens to Infoini the public that Assemblyman Fuller, of Conkling, Broome county, "Is not u. 'hayseed,' although he is a farmer and wears chin whiskers." Tho Lender's announcement Is cheerfully republished. It Is time that th'e world at larga should be educated as to what constitutes a "liny-sued" in Broome county. An exchnng? comment!, on the fact that the demand for poetry grows less eaih year and yet the number of per sons who wilte poetry seems to be on the Inoiv-iso. Probably tho only ex planation of the situation is the fact that poetiy Is generally better appre ciated by th'e poet than by anyone else. Blngliamton debating societies came together the other night and discussed the question as to whether the pen Is mightier than the sword. The sabre won. This seems to be the first au thentic! evidence that typewriters aro in use in the "Parlor City." Nearly all of tho Klondike boomeis come from western shipping points where mining supplies are purchased. Men who have encountered the terrors of the Yukon ronton are not as a rule traveling about the country urging others to go up and posses.1! the land. It Is asserted that In the recent con troversy over Chinese ports England did not "back down." The British Journals want It distinctly understood that England simply receded, It Is announced that the people of Kansas have about paid off their debts and that the state Is entering upon a BeaBon of unuBtial prospeilty. If this Is tho case a plague of grasshoppers or something of the kind will bo necessary to make the, average) citizen feel at home.

Farmer Easy "Making flour. 1 m fol lowing out the Mexican Idee. Billy Bry an, he's been down there, and lie says It beats a protective tariff hollow for de veloping homo resources and bringing good times." "How's that?" Farmer Easy "Billy says business is humping down there and the money is more plenty.

"Well, you aro out of a job," said the first angel. "The Emperor William Is attending to that with men of war auci rapid fire gui-s.

The Eni'llsh of today ore heavy holders of Turkish securities and they would not help tho Armenians even though Uabrlal himself should cummaud them lo do so." AN IMAGINARY DANQER. Itocbesler Democrat and Chronicle. The latest objection to tho annexation of Haw-all is that there Is danger that our country may become so largo that we cannot properly love It. The theory seems to lie thut every American luu u certain amount of patriotism that can bo spread over u limited area of terri tory, that when the area becomes un duly extended the supply of patriotism will become Inadequuto; that ns our pos sessions expand our love of country, be ing smeared over a greater stirrace, will become thinner and thinner, nnd through this process will gradually dwimllu to something fln-t superficial, then Imr.er. ceptlble, and finally non-existent. o From one point ot view It Is not sur pilslng that this view of American pa triotism should emanate from the New York Evening Post.lt Is eminently char acteristic of that Journal that It should look upon love of country ns nn attenu ated emotion, Incapable of enduring the slightest strain, and liable, at any time to vanish Into thin air on Ihe smallest provocation. Indeed the popular belief Is thnt the love of country located in the Evening Post ofllco would not mint the stairway from the edltoilal room lo the sidewalk, even It t educed to the 100th Homeopathic attenuation, and Inld on with the utmost economy. On the otb"r hand, the, public was hardly prepaied for n recognition by tho Evening Post ot love of countiy as nn element which should be permitted to enter Into Ihe con slder.itlnn of any problem relating to our national policies, There bus never be foro been an intimation that the Even Inw Post loves the Fulled States, or that It can nntlentlv tolerate such a sentlm.'ilt In any Amcticau breast. Therefore Its plen against the annexation of Hawaii, on the ground stated, Is somethlnc ot a shock. More than that, It is so violently against precedent that there Is room for suspicion that the Evening Post does not wish to be taken seriously, but that It Is indulging In a peculiar unci rasping style of sarcasm for the sake of throwing ridi cule on an emotion for which It feels only the most withering contempt, o Bo tills as It may, the argument of the Evening Post will not have convincing effect. The love nf country which dwelt In the breasts ol the ratrlots of tho thir teen original colonies bns expanded with the expansion of our domain. There has always been enough of It to go around. It Is a sentiment which gathers susten ance from Itself nnd continually grows and thrives nnd accumulates vigor. Even now It reaches out to our furthermost limits, nnd Its grip Is firm. It will not be come exhausted when Hawaii Is annexed, but will extend with undiminished stal wartness to our new possession nnd rally around tho Stars ard Stripes ns they float over the Paradise of the Partite. This may be Incomprehensible to the Evening Post, but It is true. LET BLANCO BEWARE. Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. Hlanco has served notice on the Insur gents that unless they lay down their aims within thirty days the governmmt will resort to severe measures. Is Wey Icrlsm to be icsumed?. If so, General Hlanco will be respectfully referred to a significant pas.snge In President MeKln lcy's annual message to congress of Dee. 0 last, in which he said: "If it shall hereafter appear to be a duty Imposed by our obligations to ouivelves, to civiliza tion nnd humanity to Intervene with force, It shall be without fault on our part and only because the necessity for action shall be so clear ns to command the support and approval of the civil ized world." o President "McKlniey's rarclul, conserva tive policy so far has fully carried out the sentiment of those lines. His atti tude has been that which President Lin coln adopted townrds tho slavery ques tion during the war. Lincoln's anti slavery convictions were as firm and true ns those of tho most radical aboli tionists who were urging him to proctalm freedom to tho slaves long before he dli; but he was determined that when that momentous step was tnken It should be so manifestly logical and Imperative as well as Just that no carper could wag his tonguo against It. o President McKlnley has. chosen a simi lar policy. He has given Spain under Sagasta and with Hlanco for Its agent, the opportunity of trying Its scheme ot autonomy in Cuba. Ho lias carefully. even rigidly enforced our international obligations In using the power ot tho government to suppress filibustering ex pedltlons from our ports in behalf of the Insurgents. He has scrupulously re frained from countenancing or permit ting any exasperating movements of our naval forces tending to incite ill feeling In tho government 01 among the people of Spain. He has teen courteous and considerate in his attitude tow-arils that government and people. o Hut beneath the velvet ot his couitwy nnd consideration there is the steel of determination that the conditions laid clown In his message shall be carried out to the letter. The resumption ot AVeylcr Ism will signify the Inability ot Spain to conquer Cuba except by a policy of sav age extermination, and to that neither President McKlnley nor the people of the United States will ever submit. THE IMtOI'KIl FKEIjINC. From the Scranton Times. The Republican this morning makes grateful acknowledgment to The Trib une for the lean of telegraohlc matter. On account of the breaking of electric wires by the falling walls ot the Young Men's Christian association bulldinr the power used by the Republican for run ning Its typesetting machines was cm off. In this difficulty The Tribune came gracefully to the rescue. The point I wish to bring out Is that no matter how bitterly two newspapers may be at war.
