The quentlon of tlie legality of the I'rovlttenco pave ordinance having been decided unmlKtnknbly, let the ad vice of Judjte KdwarJs In this Ions inlxed-up matter be heeded by all par ties to the controversy. Lot a new or dinance be drawn and passed In nc uordnnee with the requirements t)f the law, and let us then speedily have dono with the lndescilbal'le nhoniltrntlon of Itnee-dccp mud or dUBt on this Import ant thorouchfare. Probing Time. In view of the persistence of Dr. Kwallow'B chnrcey of fraud and coi ruptlon In connection with the execu tive administration of the government of Pennsylvania, and especially In view of the fact that, rightly or wrongly, n largo number of liitt fellow citizens have become convinced that there Is some degree of truth In his accusations, tho decree of the Superior court grant ing him a new trial In the Dlnney llliel suit will not bo unwelt'omi'. It Is to lie hoped that the new trial will take place under auspices that will command the unchallenged confidence of tho com monwealth and that Its rniiRe will bronden to Include a tcm citing scrutiny of the whole muss of Swallow's charges and evidence. Political excitement having now measurably subsided, and Dr. Swal low himself being no longer a candidate for odlcc and consequently free to act with it view single to the triumph of justice, the present seems an auspicious time for a complete nnd unsparing judicial review of this whole matter. Charges of exceeding gravity affecting the honor and the Integrity of nearly every ptomlneiit ttnte nlllclul from tho governor down have been made by a Christian minister deemed worthy of the votes of nearly 135.00O of his fellow citizens. It Is obviously essential that the truth or falsity of these charges should be established In due and or derly manner beyond the shadow of a doubt. If the men who hold elective ofllco at Harrisburg nro thieves nnd perjurers or the victims of thieves and perjurers working under them, the pub lie should know it. if Hcv. Dr. Swal low has lied about these officials nnd tainlshed the leputntion of the state deliberately this also should bo known. Or If ho has Imagined evil and lied un consciously the truth equally needs to be made clear. We can think of no proposition more self-evident than this. The time 1? at bund for a general cleaning up of uncertainties and sus picions In Pennsylvania. The people may not care to be used by the Wnna makers and tho Swallows as cat's paws for the gratification of Individual ma lice or ambition, but they are not In sensible to the shame which has been put upon their state and upon them selves by the unbridled and voluminous accusation! of the past few months. Thev want now to get at the facts. They want to do this through the regu lar and orderly channels of justice ad ministered without fear or favor. Their eyes will be upon the Quay trial and upon the retrial of Dr. Swallow. Any attempt In cither adjudication to trille with or to balk tho Inquiry into facts will be resented most summarily. The snorters nnd the shouters have had their Inning: tho cool but determined purpose of the plain people is now com ing Into view a purpose llxed and un alterable to got at the bed rock bottom of these svothlng and stenchtul charges nnd to administer justice relentlessly. Tho report that Governor-elect Stone will Invite Charles V. Stone to be sec retary of the commonwealth lacks con tirmntion. It Is probably a dream. Shall We Have a Curfew law? Something 1h to bo said In behalf of the curfew law method of keeping young children off the streets at night. To bo sure, It puts the city In loco parentis, but not more so In this mat ter than with respect to foundlings or vagrants. It clearlv Is n part of the policing of the city to see that good order prevails among Juveniles as well as among adults, and If parents will not look after their offspring somebody else must. To say that after a certain hour In the night It shall bo Illegal for a child to be upon tho public street alone seems like, a bold assertion of municipal au thority. The average American no tion Is that the right to bo up and do ing Is Innllenable and not open to ques tion so long as the Individual exercise of It docs not Infringe upon the rights of others. Cut on tho other hand It can be argued that a few good children might better suffer slight restraint un fairly than thut many reckless or'un cared for children should be permitted without public intervention to follow the paths leading to vlclousness and crime. That the unchecked presence upon the streets at night of children In largo numbers Is productive of law lessness and social corruption is not open to dispute. No fact Is more thor oughly established. We confess that wo have not been able to come to a definite opinion ro spectlng the advisability of u curfew law In Scranton. But of onn thing there cannot bo doubt. Parental re sponsibility needs to be made clear. The perils of allowing boys and glils to roam at random, day and night, about the streets und uinont; nil formn of temptation and vice, without parental oversight, Ruardlanehlp, care or con cern nro of a naturo to Justify earnest and Insistent protest from pulpit, press, law courts nnd legislative assemblies. The menace Is one which has to bo met. The Hazleton Sentinel has again passed Into the possession of (Jeorgo Maue, Charles D. Snyder retiring. Wo wish Mr. Maue success. Let the good work go on. A Mcud vltle grand Jury has Indicted for libel r. editor who renrlntrrt th filth' NVw York Volco nrtlcle on Senator Quay and there is n chanco that tho nubile will learn tho truth of this mutter, too, Push forward tho probe. Colonel Hoosevelt lias thus fur ninn nged tu hold tho reins successfully over the Independent colt harnessed along side the nuichlno mine; but ho must expect the driving to b.'come more dif ficult when ho reaches the patronage puddles In tho executive road. He had better keep gloves on and whip in hand. Unllot Keform. The board of trade has taken Impreg nable ground In declaring for the gen uine as opposed to the present spurious Auntrnlian ballyt. The multiplication of columnp on the present ballot has become Intolerable. Tho cffoi t of the law to coerce the citizen Into voting a straight party ticket Is disreputable. The opportunity open for bribery, In timidation or undue Influence through the nunierotisness of the omnipresent "helper" on election day amounts to a public ncandnl. Public sentiment over whelmingly condemns these contri vances of dishonest politics nnd cnor motifi pressure will be put upon the next legislature to nbato them. No fairer principle of ballot prepara tion can be Imagined that that which groups under each olllco tho names of nil the men who are candidates for that uftlee and leaves it to tho voter to choose which candidate he will sup port. This presupposea on the part of the voter sufficient Intelligence 1T dis tinguish his favorite's name among u number of names. A voter who lacks that Intelligence ought not to bo per mitted to vote. A vote enst without uii demtnndlng of Its slgnlflrnnce Is its great a menace to the public welfnie as a vote bought and sold for money; and It is a Just punishment when e.ueh a vote Is discovered to be Irregular and thrown out. The people cannot be forced to vote a straight ticket when they don't want to. The idea that by making a ballot complicated and cumbetsonie votes can be scared Into lino for a particu lar party which otherwise would divide among the parties Is not supported by the election returns. It may work In some Instances" but for each vote that it thus wins It In the long run loses an other vote in the Impetus which unfair tactics give to Independent voting. The best way to induce straight parly voting Is to nominate men for every office on the ticket who will attract tho cordlp.l support of tho party to which they belong. This is easier thnn trying to foice people Into line and It alo Is better and broader politics und in sures! cleaner uovernment. Itefonn In tho present ballot will have 'to be fought for. It will not come un forced. Hut it Is worth lighting for, and we nro glad to see the Scranton board of trade lined up on the right side. General Garcla's assertion that no considerable proportion or Cubans want annexation to the United States may be true today but it will not be true a generation hence. Cuba's ulti mate destiny Is clearly coincident with our own. Expansion nnd Young Men. One feature of expunslon which seems worthy of attention is that It will supply an Incentive for the establish ment of a diplomatic and administra tive career for young men, nnd es pecially for the graduates of American universities. I'pon this point the noted English soclnl economist, Henjamln KIdd. writes in the Atlantic Monthly for December: "There seems to be no Insurmount able reason why there should not bo as efficient a civil service In the United States ns there Is In Kngland. The principle which has been followed In England has been the keeping of the permanent civil service, nbrond even more than at home, apart from the traditions and Influences of political parties. In England the one consist ent idea which, through all outward forms, has In late years beer, behind the institution of the higher Indian civil service on existing lines Is that, even where It is equally open to natives with Europeans through competitive examination, entrance to It shall be made through a Krltish university. In other words, It Is tho best nnd most distinctive product that England can give, tho higher Ideals and standards of hor universities, which Is made to feed the Inner life from which the British administration of India proceeds. "In the United States, the university system of education has already reached a kind of development which Is far In advance of anything that we have In England. There Is a ma&nlll cent recruiting ground existing from which to build up a civil service with high traditions of public duty. If the nation rises to the level of the occasion, Insists on going straight In this mat ter from the beginning, there seem to be nil the possibilities of tho very best results. But It will be necessary to pay salaries adequate to the positions and responsibilities of tho officials. In England there Is a motto to the effect that 'power must be paid.' It it is not paid by the state, it tends to pay itself, directly or Indirectly, from other sources, nnd to servo the Interests, not of the state, but of those who pay It." The necessities of colonial adminis tration it we nro to be successful in our new venture and national pride alone should prevent failure will force us to adopt the type of udmlnlstrntlon along civil service lines which has served England so well. Wo ure not to have mucl option In this matter; the exigencies of the service will regu lato our policy Inevitably. To put be fore tho young men of the land a new prospect of usefulness in tho public service Is a gain which counterbalances many disadvantaged. The Associated Press should make nn example of the Paris smart Aleck who Imposed upon it tho story that Spain had withdrawn from further negotia tions toward peace. This Is not a Jok ing matter, When the intelligent Flllplnob learn that Ameiicnn control of tho Philip, pines Is to mean the adequate guar anty of their rights to life, liberty and J th T))irilH n' Maijnln -without f or oppression beyond the necessary taxes and restraint of honorable gov ernment, wo shall have little trouble with them. As for tho demagogues and adventurers, they will bo held to a strict account. l'Nench holders of Spanish bonds, who control the Parisian pros,), naturally dislike our terms of pence, but, then, t'nelo Sum never undertook to make pence for their benefit. As for tho rest of Europe, the less It says tho better. Not a nation nmong them was ever one-half so generous in victory. NEWS AND COMMENT A letter from a prominent Cuban rcM dent In Mutants to n friends In Philadel phia draws this picture of present condi tions In the evei faithful Isle; "The stato of adults here Is chaotic. No one knows n thing about anything even us to events that occur nt our dcors. Tho pub lic press Is muzzled; tho press censorship nb.mrdly strict and stupid. The mengro nows, often contradictory, that tho papers nre permitted to pubUsn fills tho mind with errors and confusion. Tho very life of the country Is In buspense. Agriculture is agonizing. Commerce Is exhausted and mistrustful; Industry paralyzed. Hunger decimates our peonlo nnd misery de grades them. The military power titlll rules absolutely, with all tho fears nnd uncertainties that are engendered In dic tatorial power. Civil order Is annulled; municipal authority without action; the laborer without work; the man of science Inactive: tho multitude without bread; dead bodies lying on the streets for hours; the drors of hospitals halt closed; tho lck without food und medicines, nnd, will you bllevo It, iny friend, in the midst '.f these horrors, of so much misery and such frightful Iniquity, pot n single rob bery, not n murder, nor n tumult, nor n malediction, nor a complaint. Women und hlldrcu polish on the pavement quletlv, as If they died upon their hftls of Mime common ailment. Men look upon It with Mahommediin resignation." Replying to the nntt-expaiiMonlsta who say we should not pay Spain a cent for tho Philippines, W. B. Curtis calls thclr nttentlon to the fact that wo have bought or fought for the grentest part of our territory, and up to date have Invested $..',000,000 In real estate speculations as u nation. In JS03 wo paid Napoleon Bona parte, who was then hard up, Sl.'.OOiVOO for nearly 1,000,000 square miles of terri tory west of the Mississippi river. In cluding Louisiana, Arkansas, Indian ter ritory, Missouri, Iowa, the two Dakotna, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Montana nnd the larger part ot Minneso ta. In 1S19 we boimht I'lorhln from Spain fnr .".,000,01 10. In ISIS, nfter we had whipped Mexico and hold her practically at our mercy nnd could have demanded the gra tuitous cession of anv territory wo warn ed, we showed our generosity by paying J15.000.000 In money nnd assuming private claims to the amount of $3.2oi.000 nnd mo.'c Tor California. Nevada, Utah, Colorado und tho northern part of Arizona nnd New Mexico. Ulvo years later, In order to rectify our southern boundary, we paid JtO.OOO.000 for the remainder ot tho two territories Inst named In what Is known ns the Gnd'den treaty. Alaska was bought from IlusHlii, In IsGT for $7,20rt,w). H Is I'fnsot'nblo to suppose that Spain will get something from uh for thoso portions of tho Philippines which wo hud not cap tured ere the protocol was signed. How Important New York is ns a ship ping center Is Indicated by the statistics for tlie last fiscal year, recntly made pub He. The total tonnage of vessels engaged In the foreign trade entering that port In tho year ending .Ijne w"o was 7,761,112. The tonnugc that cVurrd amounted to 7,ri"o,7"0. This Is an tncreas-o of 493,!K!2 tons entered anil Cil.sOj tons cleared as compared with tho preceding year, and Is tho largest tonnage on record. Considerably over me-thlnl of the total tonnage engaged 'n tho foreign trade in all parts of tho Unit ed States enters nnd clears from New York, which Is now the greatest shipping center in tho world, or very close to It. In ISM the total tonnage entered and denied from London was l.",uS2,I95. In the same year the total entered anil e'ieared from New York whs 13,4(il,3M. But In 1W the total was 1J.M7.H2. or within 213.or.rj of London's aggregate of tho year before. London's statistics fur U97 are not yet available. In ITtA when the first census was tnuen, there were only seventeen states In tho Union, nnd In their order their population was as follows: Ptute. Population. 1. Virginia "IT.iilO 2.

On Juno 20 last there wero 73,370 post otllees In the United Stutes 3,MG preri dentlnl and W.754 fourth clusi?. The net Increase In the number of postofllces for the year was about 2.31S, tho largest on record, except 1SW and 1S9J. The state having tho largest number or presidential postofllces Is New York, with 330, followed by Pennsylvania, with 2S4. The states having fie smallest number of presiden tial postofllces are Wyoming and Neuda, with S each. Among tho stutes having the greatest number of fourth-class podt. otllees Pennsy'ivania heads tho list, with 4,871; Now York coming next, with 3,094, The stato having the smallest number of fourth-class postofllces Is Rhode Island, with 133. Unlike Mr. Croker's town at night. Ma nila Is not wldo open. A correspondent with Dewey writes: "After 10 o'clock tho city Is dead, und only the sentries uro seen on tho streets. There Is no theater lire, and it has been several months lnco tho opera has been on. The soldiers are not allowed out of quarters nfter 10 o'clock unless on duty; tho saloons nro liosfd and the night llfo of Manila Is be hind closed doors. It is almost Impossi ble to Imagine u great city of a,000 being as quiet as Manila at night. The Span lards retire to their homes und the Amer. leans to their barracks Tho few foreign residents who spend their evenings at tho clusb return homo long before the small hours. Most peoplo here go to bed early, because nearly nil the city's business Is dine In the forenoon, and people have to get up early to do It." Writing to tho Chicago Iteeord from Ma nila John T. McCutiiieou says: -'The Philippine girls are Interesting, but only a few are pretty. They are extremely graceful, as htrulght us arrows and al ways picturesque. Brj f,PCOmos a young Indy at 12 or 13, a mother about threo years later and a grandmother at 3"i, but even at tho advanced aire of W she Is fettll nipple und graceful and pletur tuque.

Sir: 1 huvo Just read jour repot' ot Dr. ConweH's b-cturo delivered In tho high school nudltcrlum In the city of Scriinton on lAe evening of Nov. IS. It seems llko prtstimptlen. for one so ob fcuro as mvmlf to offer nny criticism upon tho utterf.i.res of one so noted ns the lent und und world famed Philadelphia divine; und yet truth Is truth, nnd right Is right, let It come from what source It will. He Is snld to huvo made this quo tation from the Scriptures, that "the righteous man shall Bather riches." 1 fall to find any such diclitrutloti In the Bible nnd enn hardly believe that such quota tion wac made. If made. It certainly con veys an etroncous Ido.a concerning Scrip ture truth, both as enunciated by the Di vine Spirit, and ns cxtmplllled In the ttes of many of God's dearest children. In the seventy-third Psalm wo have recorded a BHd lament over a covetous desire, per mitted for a time to find lodgment In the heart of one of God's own, as ho beheld tho prosperity of not tho righteous but of tho wicked. "My feet wero almost gone, my steps had well nigh slipped, for I was envious nt the toollsh, when I rnv the prosperity of the wicked. . . . Be hold, theso nro the ungodly, who prosper In the world; they Increase In riches." Marls, tin foolish, the ungodly, thcic aro "they that Increase In riches," not the righteous. Jesus unpen n certain occasion said to His disciples, "Verily 1 ray unto you, that a rlrh man shall hardly enlor Into tho kingdom of heaven," nnd adds, "It Is easier for n uimel to go through the cyo of a needle, than for a rich man to cntsr Into tho kingdom of God," Matthew xlx, 23-21. And ugaln the same great teacher, upon nnother occasion pronounced a blessing upon the poor, and a moo upon the rich, "Ulemed be ye poor, for your's In tho kingdom of God." . . . "But woo unto you that nre rich; for ye have re ceived your confutation." Luko vl, !0-'t. "Go to now, yo rich men," says the Apos tle James, "Weep and howl for your mis eries that shall como upon you Yo ir riches uro corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold nnd your sil ver is cankered; and tho rust of them shall bo a witness against you, and shrill east your flesh ns It wero tire. Yo have heaped treasure together for tho last days," James v, 1-::. The whole t.-nor of Scilpture Is against the heaping up of ilches. and certainly In the lives of thoso In whom tho prin ciples of righteousness wero most promi nent, poverty was their portion, under tho old dispensation. Let me mention a few- names which will suffice to prove my uce. larntlcu: Elllah, Ellas, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezcklel. Under the gospel dispensation, Peter nnd Paul and all tho apostles. Lu ther and Mulunrthon, Calvin and Knox. Cramer and Coberly, Bunyan, the old Bedford tinker, and Willums, of Ilhodo Island, theso were righteous men, but not rich men In the senso that they pos sessed much ot this world's good. Tho doctor Is further reported ns sav ing that ho "did not bellovo that more than one man In a thousand got rich dis honestly." That Is simply his belief and ho bus a perfect right to It, but I cer tainly believe that ho Is very, very wldo of tho mark. I shall not quarrel with him over Hint simple declaration of his opin ion, but when he asserts that "In this world a man gets just what he is worth, with i nro exceptions," 1 certainly tako exceptions to such a At-itcmcnt and thanu God that His measuro of worth is not that of my brother Conwell's. Such n statement dishonors a vust multitude of tho most noblo men that walk God's earth, men whose lives have been conse crated to the service of God, and whose desire at the end of their days Is to bo ablo to declare even us Jesus declared, "I huve glorified Theo on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do," John xvli. 4. The average salary, so It Is stated by thoso who have gathered statistics, of the ministers ot Jesus Christ Is about 1100. Will Dr. Conwell say that theso men get all that they are "worth?" whllo tho base ball player and the bar keeper get two or three times that amount? Another multitude of the most noblo of earth's pilgrims are also dishon ored by such a stat-ent, 1 refer to tho great aimy of public schoo'. teachers, whoso pay Is paltry when compared with the war politician who has a pull with his party und lives ns tlie parasite lives. Tho miner that delves In the earth, and dra-s out a miserable existence whllo his mas ter Is clothed In purple Und lino linen and fares stimptur isly every day docs he, dear doctor, get all he is worth' 1 think not. Did the 200.000 bravo soldiers who made poss-lblo tho erection of Grant's monument, and to whom reference was made In tho address, get all that they were worth, when they were paid twelvo or fifteen dollars n month? I might mul tiply theso questions ad tnllnltum, but I forbear. Surely tho doctor is at fault In Ills statement. This world Is not the friend of right eousness, neither ot tho ilshteous. l'hn man who could keep a store In Scranton for twenty years and .it the end of that period show but 51.0OJ ought not to be driven from the city In disgrace, as tho doctor declared he should bo because ho had not taken from tho people profit sufficient to mark him as a righteous man, but should bo held up. and cherished as an example far others to follow. Such business methods savor of the spirit of tho gospel of Jesus Christ, while greedi ness of gain grieves Almlgthy God and grinds and oppresses God's poor, poor In the things of this world but yet rich, be ing heirs ot all things. -J. L. Williams. Pastor of Forest City Baptist Church. JTOK AN 8-HOUR DAY. W. K. CurtU, In Chicago Itecord. Tho Federation of Labor will make a determined effort at tho approaching ses sion to secure uctlun by tho hunate upon a bill which passed tho house without a dUsentlng voto last summer. It provides for tho nmendment ot the eight-hour lav so us to Includo nil contractors doing work for tho government nnd all em ployes manufacturing material .used by tho government. If this bill should go Into effect It would bo a long step toward a general eight-hour working day. It would require tho Carnegles. for exam ple, tho Bethlehem Iron works, the manu fatturers who furnish clothing for the army and navy, tho powder mills tlie gun factories, the packing houses which furnish tho beef and pork, tho bakeries which make tho hard-tack, the factories which produco tho shoes for the soldiers and tho sailors, the men who build wag ons for the government, the miners who furnish coal far the men of war and the government tram-ports to adopt tho eigh. hour system, except In extraordinary emergencies.
