Pittsburs .Interview, uwortn emphatic

After tills splendid indorsement what
more can be said''
v : Bicycle Abuses.
With the, advent of spring comes
once more Into public attention the
question of regulating the use of bi
cycles upon the public thoroughfares.
One of the notorious abuses which Is
steadily growing wntue In this city Is
the riding of bicycles upon the uldc
walks Men and women of eminent re
spectability do this with cool Impunity.
They nppear to think that the side
walks were- built fnr their benefit ex
clusively.. At all events their actions
Illustrate the principle that the ped
estrian lis not entitled to the slightest
consideration. Hiding on sidewalks
has heroine such a nuisance In Scran
ton that It mut be stopped. If the
police will not stop It there should be
an orgahlzntlon of pedestrians for mu
tual protection, followed perhaps by a
black listing of those who would. If
they could, appropriate the entire
street fnr wheeling purposes. Hut the
police ought to act in thlw matter .with
the same decision that they would
evince If a drayman vicro to make a
practice of dilvlng upon the sidewalks
or a horse-back rider to practice eques
trianism upon the right of way rvf ped
estrians. Another nuisance In the scorcher. His
objectionable characteristics have been
so often pointed out that there Is no
need of re-enumeiating them. Yet he
Is still with us and while this remains
true the public has good reason to
complain. Considering how many
wheels are now daily ridden through
the crowded streets of Scranton and
how every day adds to the number, it
Is plain that there should be at last
n serious effort on the part of the mu
nicipal authorities to Impose reason
able regulations on this form of rapid
transit and to see that such regula
tions are duly Tespected,
The matter has been dallied with long
enough; It Is high time to get down
to real business.
After the affair with Spain lias been
satisfactorily arranged It might be a
good Idea for the government to turn
Its batteries upon the Southern lynch
ors. John's Objective Point.
The Philadelphia Ledger is flank
enough to disclose the real animus of
the present Wnnamaker movement. It
does so in these words:
Senator Quay's opponents are confluent
of defeating him for re-election, no mat
ter what tlio outcome of the gubernato
rial contest should be. It Is claimed that
Senator Quay'?, friends cannot elect a
majority of the legislature under any
elicumstances, and even should he bo sup
ported by the majority of the Republi
can members, this will not be sufficient,
if those Republicans who nre not favor
Bblo to his re-election, refuse to go Into
the party cai-cus. Here Is where Sena
tor Quaj's danger lies, and ho realizes It.
In tho last legislature there ware 211! Re
publicans and 3S Democrats. It Is eon
ceded that 'ho Democrats will come near
doubling their number in the next legis
lature on account of Republican factional
contents in many districts, principally,
biul the election of Democrats In close
districts which they lost last time by
reason of the slump In the party vote.
Giving the Democrats 73 In the next as
sembly would leave 179 Republicans. U
the session Jn 1S17 the Republican oppo
nents to Senator Quay lind seventy-six
members (if both houses Thin number Is
more likely to bo increased than dimin
ished, but should it stand at what it was
It would leavo 103 to support Senator
Quay for re-election. Should the sev-enty-slx
antl-Quayites refuse to go Into
th R( publican caucus, and it is under
stood that such Is the purpose of tho iinti
uny leaders. Senator Quay would lack
twenty-flvo of enough members to give
hltn a majority of both branches and in
sure his re-election. The icsult would
be a deadlock, which could only bo bro'ten
by the retirement of Senator Quay from
the contest, as his opponents seem so de
termined In their opposition that they
will accept no other solution to the situa
tion. In other words, Mr. Wunamakei's
Gubernatorial candidacy in set up spe
cifically for the purpose of paving
the way to a bolt. There will be n
how of, fighting for Wannmaker dele
Kates to the June state convention, but
the real work of the Phlladelphlnn's
campaign, will conalst of nominating
legislative candidates who can be re
lied upon to Jump the party traces
wTieneyer Mr. Wanamaker shall give
tho word of command. It Is not that
he wants office himself two senators
from Philadelphia could hardly be tol
erated by the state at large. His pur
peme InBtead la to pay off an old score
which Is on his political account with
Quay. ' To facilitate this aim he Is will
lng to serye. as p. decoy candidate for
governor and afterward, when defeat

boltlnff, meanwhile paying current ex
penses. We had lieard from souYces friendly

euch was 'Mr.Wnnamaker's programme
but we had not expected that that
programme wouljl be, revealed by his
supporters In detail eo soon. The Led
Br, liEwov'efr; la Mr. Wanamaker's
chief ajJrcatcMt speaks by tho card.
Wnqueattonably'lt will add splco to ihe
situation to havo it understood from
the outset that tho Wanamaker move
ment Is a dejlberately planned bolt.
In the light of this Information we
can readily understand ,vvhyvBUc)i etal
wart party men as MeBre. Martin and
M,ai;ee;wcrreluct(int to 'become part
ners injUidt "kind 6f n venture. Per-
haps there are others throughout the
Htnte, not necessarily partial to Quay,
who think like them.
tho president doubtless Is not disap
pointed at the tool reception given by
the public to the published suggestion
that he endeavor to ndjust the Cuban
problem bo that while Cubans shall be
free In fact Spain may yet retain a
nominal foverelgnty. 'This Is what
Cleveland wnnted to do and what Mc
Klnley would like to do. It would be a
fine compromise for Spain, nut we
much misinterpret the temper of the
American people If they arc In a mood
to tolerate a further postponement of
the Inevitable In Cuba. We think they
will Insist that Spain get clear out, at
once and forever.
The Question of I ndemnlty.
It is reported that Attorney Coxe,"
who attended the Martin trial in be
half of the Austrian consul at Phila
delphia, has expressed to his client the
belief that the Austrian government
has substantial ground for demanding
nn Indemnity for those of Its subjects
who were killed in the Lattlmer insur
rection. We doubt It. Anxious as he
may bo to establish a case, It is diffi
cult to see how in this matter Aus
tria's nttorney can find a leg to stand
on.
The comparison of the Lattlmer In
cident with the episode of the Italians
mobbed several years ago at New Or
leans Is exceedingly inapt. In the
New Orleans affair It was not
shown that the Itallano upon
whom the rough hand of the
mob was laid had committed any crime
or given provocation to violence. They
were simply the Innocent victims of an
outburst of race prejudice.' Wo were
under treaty obligations to extend to
the subjects of Italy on American soil
the full protection of our laws. The
protection afforded at New Orleans was
Inadequate, hence our liability to Italy,
which our government promptly recog
nized. Rut In the Lattlmer nffalr the Aus
trian subjects who fell In front of
American rifles fell because they were
in revolt ngalnsl American law; be
cause after having been received into
this country through Its courtesy they
had set forth to establish a despotism
of their own. If there is any Indemnity
to be paid as a consequence of this de
ploiable tragedy it seems to us that
Austria should indemnify the Vnlted
States.
Acorrespondentasks us if the articles
in the Scrantonlan signed "Mac" are
written by John G. McAskie, esq. We
do not know.
Fnlse Alarm.
Having been taken to task by the
New York Evening Post, among other
papers, for Its recent raising of the
partisan Issue in connection with the
Cuban problem, the Chicago Times
Herald makes an extended reply, from
which we now quote:
"For three years there has been a
growing demand moro urgent with
every passing month for American In
tervention In Cuba. This has not come
from any one party or section of the
country. The platforms and speakers
of all parties have emphasized and re
Iterated the demand for the restoration
of peace and for the independence of
Cuba. In his first regular message to
congress President McKinley promised
action unless theio was good reason for
further delay. He made this promise
to the American people, not to any
party. The situation in Cuba has grown
worse Instead of better. Spain has con
tinued to spend millions for more in
effectual blood and not one peseta for
relief from the famine and fever slay
ing Cubans at the rate of nearly one
thousand a day. Remember the pano
rama of Spanish cruelty and Incom
petence has been unrolling before the
eyes of the people of the United States
until they have become thoroughly
convinced that nothing but Spanish
evacuation of Cuba can bring peace
cither to Cuba or to America.
"The duty to intervene in Cuba ex
isted before the Maine was blown up
in the harbor of Havana. That shocked
the American people into a popular de
mand for Immediate intervention. The
demand came from the people, and be
hind it stalked this alternative for
President McKinley: Either you will
do the bidding of the people of the
United States now or they will visit
their just wiath on you and your party
at the first opportunity next Novem
ber. They will not be particular about
the instrument of their indignation and
will not hesitate to punish a failure to
obey their sovereign will. This brings
us to the alternative born of the events
of a century, bucked by tho sentiment
of civilized humanity and presented by
a united people 'free Cuba now or a
free-silver congress will free Cuba after
next November.' The question Is, Shall
Cuba be saved In respons.e to a patri
otic popular demand now or by the
edict of a popullstlc, partisan victory
In November? What does the New
York Evening Post think will be the
result next November if President Mc
Kinley permits Spain to letaln a vest
ige of sovereignty In Cuba 7"
It is possible to share in our Chicago
contemporary's sympathies without ex
periencing its apprehensions. Wo be
lieve that at this time tho American
people, without regard to party, have
full confidence In President McKInley's
patriotism and aie willing, regardless
of domestic politics, to give him a free
hand. The candidnte for congress who
should undertake next fall to make this
a partisan issue by assailing the presi
dent would get licked, that is all.
m
According to the prognostlcators
Spain's navy In case of war will not
tako New York, as was first predicted,
but will turn pirates and destroy Amer
ican commerce. This is a very fine pro
gramme considered from an European
outlook, but what will the White
Squadron be doing all this time?
m
In 1896 deposits in state banks In
Pennsylvania amounted to $216,661,457,
41; In 1P97, to $239,083,745.0. an Increase
of $25,9,2R8.SO. How would this do as
the Text for a Fcranton Times calamity
howl?
Certain soft-shelled politicians who
evidently would like to be the "orig
inal Lee men," are trying to"mako the
consul-general ridiculous by booming
him as a presidential candidate. Gen-
eral Leo certainly deserves belter treat
ment at this time. He has seemed to
be the right man In the right placo In
a position of great responsibility, and
It Is too bnd to have his efforts cheap
ened by the cry of a lot of tln-horu
presidential boomers who believe that
no man can display patriotism unless
an olllce of some kind Is In prospect.
It has been announced thnt a num
ber of persons concerning whom the
New York Voice, In Its series of nt
tacks upen American colleges, has
mado assertions alleged to bo libelous
intend to seek redress In the courts,
and It is to bo hoped that .the news Is
true. The mingled Impudenco and
venom which this paper has exhibited
In Its mendacious crusade for an Im
possible condition of college manage
ment deserves to bo rebuked In the
most effectual manner possible.
The United States supreme court
having decided, in the Nebraska maxi
mum rate case, that a state legislature
has no right to establish charges for
transportation which are lnsufticlent
to enable the transporting corporation
to earn a fair profit, there remains for
the nntl-rallroad Populists of the
blooming west to build rnllroads of
their own and make transportation
free. That would make the haughty
plutocrats tremble.
The New York Life Insurance com
pany announces that holders of its
policies who may hereafter enlist In a
war with Spain will tie charged no ex
tra premiums, and if they are killed
In service the policies will be paid in
full. Wo Infer from this that the Now
York Life Insurance company does not
expect a war.
Miss Ima Hellpopper, of Oklahoma,
has asked the courts for permission to
change her name. Natural timidity of
man made tle young lady despair of
ever having such a name changed
through the medium of the marriage
license clerk.
Judge Woodward make take consola
tion In the reflection that the abuse
of knaves is honesty's highest compli
ment. Were it not for the suspicion that
Winter is still lingering In her lap,
Spring would be moro than welcome.
Spain shows a disposition to render
a verdict of not guilty In the Maine
case without leaving the Jury box.
The effects of that JCO.000,000 peace
fund are awaited with widespread in
terest. The N??d of State
Police Emphasized
From tho Philadelphia Press.
SHERIFF MARTIN was able to dis
perse a riotous mob and restore or
der in Luzerne county because he
had tho backing of an exceptionally
courageous and loyal posse com
itatus. It must bo admitted that av
erage citizens, tnken at random and ab
ruptly pressed into the (service of the
sheriff, cannot be relied upon for sus
tained effort of a difficult and dangerous
character. Neither can they bo trusted
to give their chief the required moral and
material support in a critical emergency.
It requires preparation and schooling to
enable most men to meet a crisis in the
right spirit. Sheriff Martin says he never
again would sumomn deputies of tho class
that served him last time, because it is
asking too much of responsible citizens
to call on them to undergo what these
men did in the police service. Such duties
should not devolve on chance conscripts.
The entlro state should have its police
force, charged with the duty of enforcing
the law and preserving the pence. Wo
recognize and meet this need In cities.
We recognize tho need, too, in the coun
try, but owing to a stupid conservatism
wo havo not thus far provided for it
there.
o
The small towns, tho villages and the
rural districts need the care of tho stato
more largely than the cities. In the lat
ter consultation, co-operation and combi
nation are easy, and the people can read
ily look out for themselves. It is quite
otherwise in the sparsely settled regions.
Iho ordinary expenditures fall heavily
upon tho scattered populations, whose
wealth Is very limited. The governor of
Pennsylvania, in his annual message,
recommended that good public schools
should bo maintained by tho state in
towns not able to provide them. A simi
lar prlnclplo applleb to tho construction
of bridges and to the making and repair
ing of roads. Pre-eminently all this ap
plies to the establishment of a stato po
lice, which shall extend its care over ev
ery country lane and every Isolated dwell
ing. o
Theie was once a tradition that the
country was the abode of domestic peace
and security; but, as things now are, no
whero is crime committed with moro im
punity. A riotous mob may terrify a
whole township. The solitary dwelling
may be Invaded and tho occupants tor
tured until thoy give up their little pos
sessions. Tho children on their way to
school, women passing through unfre
quented lanes, are exposed to the violence
of tho tramp and tho criminal, who has
no places of resort and who cannot welt
be traced, may bo in another county be
fore the body of his victim Is seen. One
result of all this Is tho tendency of the
villager, of the farmer and his family, to
leave their quiet but Insecure homes and
to crowd tho already congested cities,
where the husband and father knows that
wlille he Is absent at his dally work his
family are not exposed to imminent peril.
o
There should be a department of public
safety at Harrlsburg charged with tho
oversight of a pollen covering the entire
state. Every road bhould be patrolled at
least once a day. Encampments of tramps
should bo broken up. Menaces of disor
der, violations of sanitary laws, causes
threatening lire should be reported. Cat
tle going at large should bo restrained.
The members of this police should be per
sons above the average Intelligence, able
to impart information, ana tney snouiu
be persons of a calm disposition, fitted to
exercise something of Judgment, and not
only to arrest offenders, but often by a
timely counsel to prevent offense. Mobs
could bo restrained and dispersed by such
a force. Tho central authority should
have power to transfer tho members of
this force from ono locality to another,
and to promote them for merit and effi
ciency only.
o
Of course, such a department would
Involve gome expense. Everything worth
having costs; but this expense wpuld be
more than balanced by the added value
given to all farms, by the better security
given to life and property In tho mining
regions and by the Increased tranquility
and happiness of a rural Ufa. In all this
matter wo can derive very useful lessons
from tho expertenco of tho older countries
of Europe, where tho rural police has
long been an established Institution,
A WHOLESOME EFrECT,
From tho Syracuse Post.
Generally speaking, the press comment
on the Hazleton verdict has been tem
perate, conservative nnd sensible A few
Inflammable opinions havo been ex
pressed, but they represent the views of
men whose Judgment Is influenced moro
by prejudice than by reason. Tho trial
of Sheriff Mnrtln and sixty deputy shcr
IfTs haR established again tho principle
that law and order will bo mulntalned In
this country at nil hazards. An American
Jury composed of fair minded men could
give but one verdict. That verdict es
tablishes again the prlnclplo that a sher
iff has a right to use summary and oven
extreme measures when such action, In
his Judgment, is necessary to prevent dis
order and lawlessness. Any worklngman
who Is dissatisfied with the terms of em
ployment can stop work, but he cannot
compel other men to give up their em
ployment. He has no more right to stir
up mob spirit for tho destruction of life
and property than n capitalist would have
to resort to force to compel men to work
for him who wcro not sntlslled with his)
terms. Tho decision In the Hazleton caso
will havo a wholesome effect In all parts
of tho count! y.
LESSONS FROM LATTIMER.
Prom tho Philadelphia Times.
The verdict of tho Luzorno jury In the
caso of Sherirt Marl In nnd his deputies,
acquitting them for having fired upon tho
mob of strikers at Lattlmer, teaches sev
eral things which were greatly needed to
bo emphasized by tho Judgment of our
courts. It makes no new law, but simply
teaches the law as It Is. and ns it must bo
obeyed. It teaches that the humblest
citizen or resident of this rtatu bus tho
absolute right to accept employment
when, where nnd under such circum
stances ns shall be satisfactory to him
self and his employer. This Is an Inallon
ablo right. It Is a right that Is not ques
tioned In the rich nnd opulent, but It has
been systematically disputed among tho
poor nnd dependent, nnd especially among
tho Ignorant alien labor elements of our
Industrial center?.
fl
it teaches thnt whllo It Is entirely law
ful for men to refuse to work when tho
terni3 aro unsatisfactory, and may use
nny peaceable and rcasonablo persua.ilon
to lndtico others to poln them, they have
no right to attempt to intimidate or co
erce In any violent manner, others to Join
them unwillingly nnd surrender tho em
ployment they would bo gled to continue.
Worklngmcn dissatisfied with their wages
may unite, organize and use all peaceable
and lawful methods to Induce others to
act with them, but the nbsolut" right of
others to refuse or accept their demand
to Join In tho striko is pointedly declared
to be tho law that must bo obeyed. It
teaches that If men shall unlto In a strike
and violently attempt to intimidate oth
ers, go In bodies armed with clubs and
pistols to drlvo men from their homes or
employment, and assault those who do
not yield to their demands, it Is the duty
of tho sheriff when summoned to main
tain the peace, to disperse them peaceably
If possible, or to employ any means ab
solutely necessary to halt riotous proceed
ings even to the extent of firing upon tho
mob. Such Is the law. and it is tho law
ns old as the commonwealth itself.
o
It teaches to tho alien labor clement of
tho stato that has heretofore been Igno
rant of our laws, and that has believed
that liberty simply means license, that
they arc under a government of law; that
they must respect tho rights of person
nnd of property; that for all wrongs the
law furnishes a peaccablo remedy, and
that those who attempt to assert their
real or Imaginary rights by violence that
endangers tho safety of person or prop
erty, must bo suppressed even to tho ex
tent of taking life If It shall become nec
essary'. This feature of our law will
henceforth bo well understood by the Ig
norant alien labor elements of tho state
which havo heretofore never studied the
laws under which they live, and have
often assumed that they were a law unto
themselves, with the right to assert tho
power of might nnd endanger both life
and property by violence. They have not
understood this law in the past, but tho
verdict that Is tho closing sequel of tho
Lattlmer tragedy, teaches It In such un
mistakable terms that even the most ig
norant of our alien residents In labor re
gions will henceforth understand tho om
nipotence of tho laws under which they
live.
.
IN UNION IS STRENGTH.
From tho New York Sun.
Tho country is to bo congratulated
upon the almost total obliteration of the
seutlonal lines which for so many years
marked tho division of tho United States
into slave and free territory, nnd finally
threatened Its partition Into two separate
governments by the dread ordeal of civil
war. The era of reconciliation, so long
and earnestly desired, has happily come,
and tho feeling of distrust and hostility
between the sections Is everywhere an
ishlng, let us hope never to return.
Nothing Is better calculated to give
ktrength to the nation nt home, Increase
our power and Influence abroad, and add
to tho permanency and security of our
free institutions than the restoration of
cordial relations between the people of all
parts of our beloved country.
ENGLAND AS A FltlESD.
From the Syracuse Post.
Thero are very strong rensons why Kng
land should desire sort of a partnership
with tho United States. Thero Is no rea
son, on tho other hand, why tho United
States should adopt a scornful demeanor
toward Great Britain's offer of friendship.
It is not Just to underestimate the tre
mendous advantage that would result
from a silent wink by Great Britain to
tho United States If Spain should begin
shooting. '
