Tho necessity of Immediately repair ing1 the asphalted pavements of the city Is so patent that discussion of It Is needless. At present the matter that concerns tho people of this city Is the manner in which tho repairs shall be mad?. Common Councilman. Keller some tlmo ago Introduced an ordinance which provides that the work shall be dono by contract, the amount neces sary to pay for the work to bo secured out of the ordinary revenues of the city, which would avoid the necessity of increasing- our bonded Indebtedness. This ordinance was thoroughly dis cussed and maturely considered In com mon council and was passed by that body after It had decided that Jlr. Kel ler's remedy was the best that linrt been suggested for Improving- tho woe ful condition of our asphalt paved streets. The ordinance will come up for consideration at tonight's meeting of the select council and ought to pass two readings. The prompt passage of this measure, which seems to be the best that could be devised to meet the present emer gency, will admit of the awarding- of the contract and the completion of at least a good portion of tho much needed repairs before frosty weather causes a suspension of such work until next spring-. It Is probable that the select councllmen, with n full knowledge of the Importance of tho matter, will act promptly tonight. Lackawanna county will give Con dldate Stono n rousing welcome when he visits us during the closing days of the campaign. The Territory of Hawaii. The form of government to be used in Hawaii Is outlined as territorial with ono representative in congress and a governor who will be paid n salary of J5.O0O or $G,O00. As the exist ing forms of government are modeled nfter those of the United States some of them "will remain the same. The legislature consists of a senate elected for six years and a houso of represen tatives elected for two years each con sisting of fifteen members. The legis lative precedure Is practically the same as in the United States. While the committee system Is identical with that In this country. The foundation of the legal system of the country is the common law of England. The penal law and practice Is codified and there are no penal of fenses except those enumerated in the code. The civil law, practice and procedure is partially codified and is in general as much like the several states In America as the law of one state Is like that of another. The text books and law reports ot England und the United States are cited as authority in the courts In the same manner that they are in this country. The members ot the Supreme and Circuit court bars are nearly all Amer icans or were educated in our law schools. The attorneys In the district courts are chiefly native Hawallnns, educated In Honolulu. The main Judicial system which Is to continue undisturbed in the new ter ritory consists of District and Circuit courts and a Supreme court. There are about thirty district courts hav ing Jurisdiction over misdemeanors and civil matters not involving more than $300. They also commit for trial by Jury, persona accused of felony, exer cising the functions ot an American grand Jury. The latter system not being In vogue, appeals may bo taken to the Circuit or Supremo court?. There nre four Circuit courts with appellate Jurlsdlctlonovernppeals from tho District courts and original Juris diction over nil civil suits Involving tnoro than $i0i)i over persons commit ted for Irlul for felonies: In all equity, admiralty and probate cases and over special proceedings such as habeas corpus, etc. Knelt court Is presided over by one Judge. The eamo class of catcs arc tried by Jury ai are here. Jurlen consist of twelvo men but nine, can render a vcrdlcl In both civil and criminal chscs which In some rospects Is a far cry ahead of our system where twelve men must be made to ngiee. Jury con be waived In all except cap ital cases. The Supreme court consists of threo Judges, with exclusive Jurisdiction to decide certain special proceedings nnd the validity of elections to the legis lature, concurrent Jurisdiction with the Circuit court concerning habenB corpus nnd certain other special proceedings; nnd appellate over exceptions and np pc.ils. Cases are tried promptly nnd the courts are ably nnd honestly con ducted. The Judges have been appoint ed by the president, district Judges for five years, circuit Judges for four years, and supremo Judges for life. Tho term of criminal court which begins next Monday will furnish an other Illustration of tho necessity of remodelling the machinery of our courts of Justice so ns to permit of a greater number of cases being disposed of summarily by pome competent iudg''. The present cumbersome sys tem clogs the wheels of Justice, piles up the costs und In petty cases allows seven out of ten law breakers to es cape the penalties their infractions of the law deserve. American Cnpital in China. Calvin S. Brlce's statement of tho Carnegie company's connection with the new American enterprises In China has been confirmed by an official of that corporation. The plana will prob. ably result in uniting the Carnegie company, tho Sugar Trust and other powerful combinations In opening a railway 900 miles long between tho cities of Canton, Hong Kong and Han kon, and It also means that tho Car negie company will manufacture sev eral hundred thousand tons ot rails for this line. These great organizations will probably be able to force matters to a more successful degree than did tho English merchants of Shanghai twenty years ago, when they conceived the plan of laying tho first railway In China between their city nnd Woosung. They knew It to bo utterly useless to attempt securing formal consent of the Chinese, but they thought that a line once made on land obtained by purchase might bo tolerated. The chief official of Shanghai expected soon to retire from office nnd privately agreed to place no difficulties In the way, as he would be safely out of reach when the storm would burst. In 187G tho little road was completed and became the great resort of the Chinese, who swarmed all over the trains. But then along came tho storm, which proved to be n cyclone of American dimen sions. A man, suspected of being a paid suicide which Is a somewhat pe culiar combination wns run over by a train. Tho result was that a demand was Immediately made for the life of tho engineer In payment for that of tho unknown deceased. This could not be ajlowed and an English magis trate stopped the proceedings, Then It was whispered that the Chinese offi cials were about to resort to the time- honored remedy of a mob riot, In which the tearing up of the rails by tho peasantry would be only the first mild step. So desperate did tho case' be come that It was believed wise to sus pend traffic, nnd as tho negotiations resulting in the Che Foo convention were in progress, appeal was made to LI Hung Chang, who was acting as Chinese plenipotentiary. But Li was viceroy of another province and Inti mated that his interference would make matters worse. All that could be done was to go through a red tape process for arranging a compromise. The terms eventually reached were that tho lino should be sold to the viceroy of Nanking, but that it should bo kept working at least twelve months, when It was hoped its financial success nnd tho appreciation of tho natives would Insure Us continuance, but n sort of Poo Bah made a different decree. The line was torn up and transported to Formosa, where its chief mission was to rot on the seashore. But it was LI Hung Chang after all who promoted tfie pioneer line, for it was In his vlceifoyalty that the next railway was constructed in connection with the collieries The war with France led to the official acceptance of the railways ns they were needed for the transportation -of troops. The first real line of eighty-five miles wns com pleted In 1888 at the cost of $21,230 per mile, but it lias sustained many vicissi tudes for all the dispensation of Provi dence nnd other catastrophles of the empire from a palace fire to cutting eye'feeth too soon by tho last royal baby and even more serious culamttles were warnings from heaven ngatnst foreign Innovations and extensions ot the line were forbidden. Because of this plg-headedness, po litely known ns conservatism, the rail road enterprise of China, with tho ex ception of Li Hung Chang's own spe cial to tho northward, has practicality been stopped. It will be a great thing for the land of Cathay, whose emperor to quote the flowery diction ot the Chl neses, has probably Just gone to bo "the guest of heaven," when a few Americans boomers land ther;e with a little Yankee push and the conscious ness of a big syndicate or two ut their backs to braco them up. . It Is a cold day In Paris when a, new turn In tho Dreyfus caso will not toro vofco u riot. ' Dowcy and the Retired List. It 1b to bo earnestly hoped that Itear Admlrnl Dowcy who will probably soon be given the revived tltlo of vlcc-ad4 mlral will also be retained upon they active list for ton years longer. A man who can perform such feats as this hero In the year which under the pres ent naval regulations Is the final ono In service surely Is capable of attending to tho duties of his high office for an other decade. Ono never thinks of Dewey aa being but n brief year distant from tho retired list. His rcmarkahlo uchlevnnfunta In tho war that hns Just closed are not those of a man whose days nro In tho sere and yellow leaf. They are rather tho deeds of one In the rich prime of young manhood, when nil things arc possible, when the splendid enthusiasm and unbounded hope of thnt period have lost nono of their inspiration. Ono always thinks of Dewey ns in the zenith of his power, Impetuous, brave, confident. The na tion would recognize a distinct loss wore lip placed on tho retired list In 1899. Mnyor Kinney, of Utlca, made the somewhat startling statement Tuesday In his address before the Christian Endeavor convention there In session, that wo too frequently go to the state's prisons for men to run our cities. It Is presumable that tho mayor has never been Incarcerated behind tho bars ns ho made haste to state that Utlca Is tho cleanest city liithe state and that he nnd the ladles had accomplished that beatific condition of purification. How to Get Rich. Hero Is a chance for Pennsylvania enterprise. The Chilian congress la offering n prize of $12.',000 for the cap italists or syndicate that will go down there and establish a gigantic Iron foundry. It Is believed that various Iron Industries on a large si-ale may make fabulous returns for tho Invest ment as Increasing evidence Is found proving the existence of vast quanti ties ot ore through that region. Senior Bel, commlbsloner of the gov ernment of Chile Is now in Philadel phia enenvoring to stimulate commer cial Intercourse between the United States and his country. He particular ly advocates the Importance which would result If this country would as sist In the directions of giving a sub sidy to steamship navigation compan ies flying an American flag, by char tering an American banking institu tion eo that South and Central Amer ica will not ask permission of England to transact business In this country with English money, nnd also by Im proving tho consular service by re taining trained men at Important point. Senor Rel Is on a tour of Investiga tion of the machinery used for the preparation of dried and evaporated fruits and the process necessary to their conservation. With the launching of tho battleship Illinois nt Newport News the other day, probably tho most formidable lighting vessel In the world was float ed. The Illinois Is exactly similar to the Alabama and Wisconsin, now un der construction. This trio of armored fighters are believed to bo a distinct Improvement over the Iowa and the vessels of the Indiana class, both an regards battery power and general ef fectiveness. They possess a high free board, which will enable them to work their guns In the heaviest seas, and their armament of fourteen rapid-lire six-Inch rifles In addition to the four thirteen-lnch guns In the big turrets, fore and nft, should make them dang erous antagonists for anything on the sens, and they will assist materially In Increasing the respect that foreign na tions nre beginning to entertain for the United States. The woman who achieved the feat of riding a bicycle from New York to UoMon the other day in less than twenty-four hours, will doubtless pay dear ly for tho fun If she lives long enough. Tho bicycle Is ono of the most suc cessful fooWklllers In use at the pres ent time and yearly assists many un easy people to the cemeteries. There Is a corner In trands at Pitts burg. You can't buy up a band there for love or monev for next week. Every one has been engaged by local or visit ing commandcrles. Mellta and Coeur de Lion of Scranton should take Bauer along. Mr. C Smith's next move will prob ably be to ask for the Impeachment of Judge Slmonton ot Dauphin county. Tho judge who refuses to agree with Mr. Smith's views of the law must bo prepared for trouble. The Cromartyshire, which gained world wide notice by her collision with La Hurgogne, has sailed from Halifax to Philadelphia to continue the voyage so tragically interrupted July 4. There was u man named Roosevelt, Who gave his country's foes a belt They will get over never; Hut foes at home, with honors lax. Who won led him about a tax Should be exiled lorever. WHEELER AT SARATOUA. Into the thick of the tight he went, pallid and sick and wan, Borne In tin ambulance to the front, a ghostly wisp of a man; But the lighting soul of a lighting man, approved In tho Innu ago, Went to the front In that ambulance, In tho body of Fighting Joe. Out from tho front they were coming back, smitten of Spanish shells Wounded boys from- the Vermont hills and the Alabama dells; "Put them Into this ambulance; lit ride to the front," ho said; And he climbed to the saddle and rode right on, that little old ex-conted. From end to end of the long blue ranks roso up the ringing cheers, And many a powder-blackened face was furrowed with sudden tears, As with Hashing eyes and gleaming sword, and hair and beard of snow, into tho hell of shot und shell rode little old Fighting Joe! Sick with fever and racked with puln, ho could nut stsy away, For he heard tho song ot tho yester years In the deep-mouthed cunnon'B heard In the calling song of the guns thoro was work for him to do, Where his country's best blood splashed and flowed 'lound the old Red, White and Blue. Fevered body and hero heart! This Union's heart to you Beats out In lovo and reverence and to each dear boy In bluo Who stood or fell 'mid the shot and shell and eheord In tho f,ico of tho foe, As, wan and white, to tho heart of the I fight rode little old Fighting Joe! ) James Lindsay Gordon In TlmcS'Demo-crat. Peace Congress Will Be Held, From tho Tlmes-llcraid. 1 T 18 now understood that all the pow ers, Includlnc the United Stutcs, huvo accepted tho czar's lnvltatlou to J tho congress of disarmament, with somo limitations on the subjects to bo discussed. Thcso limitations were tnoro particularly set forth In Italy's re ply, upon which tho Tlmcs-Iierald has al ready commented, and aro meant to ex clude tho burning questions of territorial arrangement, such as Alsace-Lorraine, Egypt and the pope's temporal power. Ot course no government was going to glvo the cold shoulder to so humane, a propo sition, or refuse participation In the con. gross, though oil appear to think it must end in futility. Franco ha been the most outspoken nnd has shoved the Ah ace-Lorraine ques tion Into tho very forcrront of the whole business. Nevertheless France will send representatives, whose sola duty, how ever, will prhap be little more ttmn that of the lawyer who holds a watching brief, o How disarmament can be discussed with Alsace-Lorraine barred Is difficult to comprehend, but perhaps diplomacy may find a way. but the two great ques tions nt the threshold of the Inquiry aro these first, what Is to be the basis of dis armament? and second, how Is It to be guaranteed? Tho czar's circular as first Interpreted seemed to mean entire dis armament on the part of all the nations nnd a coming In of the millennium, when swords were to bo beaten Into plowshares and spears Into prunlns hooks. Hut this Interpretation hardly lasted twenty-four hours, Novostl, the Russian ofllcinl news paper, explained that no such sanguine end wns aimed at. and that It was not a reduction hut n stay of armaments that was to be desired. Tho status quo was to be assumed as the basis. This Is more reasonable, but also has Its dtfllcultle. Tho second question Is vital. Who Is to see that the arrangement, whatever it may be. Is carried out? The parliament of tho world und the federation of man may pass all the mlllenlal resolutions that lovers of peace may propose, but where Is the executive that will enforce them? Supposo some nation violates the bond and Instead of stnylng Its arma ment goes on Increasing It? How Is that nation to be brought to terms? The oth ers might comblno and mako war upon It. hut this would mean Increased arma ments all around, with actual war Involv ing all the nations, the very thing tho cza- Is endeavoring to forestall. The out look for actual performance by this pence conference Is therefore not promising, but this Is no reason why It should not bo held. It may lead to something and have results far more beneficent than can now bo forecast. It Is a step In the light di rection and mav lmluco other steps. It Is expected that ns soon ns tho Spanish. American peaco conference nt Paris has concluded Its labors the czar will name tho day for the disarmament congress. APPLIES TO PENNSYLVANIA. From tho New York Sun. In this national crisis, laden with possi bllltles of national gcod or evil beyond precedent, the political Interest of the voters of New York, as of other states whose election resembles theirs, wh?n placed In the order of Importance will ap. pear thus: I. The election of Republican congress men pledged to suppirt honest money and the Republican policy of national growth and expansion. II. Tho election of a Republican leglsla turo In order that the I'nlted States sen ator to bo chosen shall bo pledged to the same policy. III. Tho ejection of a Republican gov ernor and ether stae officers. New York could better afford, ten times, to hand over her Htate house In Albany nnd the control of her nffolrs to an ad ministration picked nut of the streets nt random than to have the cause of sound money endangered by Republican defeat In the house of representatives and the Washington administration checked In winning for tho country the precious advantages that war has put In our hands. WHAT'S THE MATTER TEDDY P WITH From the 1'ltts.burg Dispatch. Society women who have bewailed the absence of tho "gentleman" In politics should be satisfied this trip. In the old city. Manhattan, there nre only ten con gressional districts One ot these Is now represented by Murray Mitchell, a nem ber of nearly a dozen of the best-known clubs; nnother by George U. McCicllan, tho son of his father and tho son-in-law of a wealthy man A possible nomlnet- Is Colonel Franklin Bartlett, an orstwhllo leader of "DelV cotillons, Tonight Cap tain William Astor Chanter will be Ini tiated Into the order of Tammany, and he, too, will try to break Into the national capltol. In another district Colonel John Jacob Astor may be opposed by O. II. 1. Belmont or Jefferson M. Levy, the latter the owner of Montlcello, and rated st something like $13,000,000. Other possibili ties are General K. A. McAlpln. who rolls In wealth, and Captain Stewart M. lirlce, who has lots of leisure to devote to poli tics. "Gentlemen," too, aro scrambling for seats In the legislative halls. Tho chances are that at no far-distant day Coney Island will bo represented by a silk stocking. MARRIAGE IN THE PINES. PHILLIP- From tho Washington Star. In no respect will the domlnatlcl, or even the Influence, of the United States in the Phllpp'nes work for good moro than the social life of tho people. An American minister who has recently re turned from tho Islands Is tho authority for the statement that the priests have for many years charged the natives no less than ?30 for performing tho marrlago service. As the average native under Spanish rulo was ablo to earn about f5 a month "when times were good" and ho had regular employment, it Is easy to see why common law marriages have, always been the rule rather than tho exception. It Is safe to say that among tho tlrst re forms Introduced In tho Islands Is one that will have direct bearing upon tha sanctity of tho marrlago relation. WANTS YANKEE MUSIC. From tho Syracuse Post.
