We nil" ronlldeiit that we voice the Judgment of an overwhelming major ity of th" lespnnslblc business men and taxpayers of Kcraiiton the men vho drive or who have driving or car tage dniii- for them when we denounce as petty and contemptible the whole course of the opponent of the asi halt repair contuu: en'.eied Into lost fall between the city anil the Kurher As phalt l'.nlng company. Hero was an open business proposi tion upon which .he city Invited bids and got them, letting the contract to the lowest icspoiislble bidder. The flg ure $17,f.no a year for ten yearswas n low tltritif In comparison with the cost of similar ifiialr work in other cities; and thai the accusations to the contrtiiy hae been Iguorantly or wil fully false fan lie proved by the re cords of nn dlslnteivsted city or con sulting engineer In the country. At this price the eliy was usured an im mediate beginning of the repn'is and n steadv i-nntlmmtluii of the work for thu entile period of the contract, l.'n der the teims of that contract, not only was the company bound in law to H"c the slieets in good repair, but it was al-o bound by self-interest to repair every break or crack as quickly ns discovered, since the sooner this was don" th- less resurfacing would be reriulied of ll. It and the city b"th stooil to gain from piomptness. Mad till fair business proposition been duly ratllled after Its U-nm wore ofllclally accepted by the city: had not Intrigue and jealousy set to work to put obstacles In the way, not by meet ing argument with argument, fairly and In the open, but by distortion of facts, appeals to public prejudice, shouts to the galleries and buncombe suggestions of Impracticable substi tutes, the streets would by this time have been well along toward adequate rei-overy. travel would ne growing saf er and more romfoi table instead of more dangerous every day; iiie wear and tear on horse flesh and vehicles would be decreasing, wheelmen would be leceivlng benelll Instead of running Increasing risks of injury and ' the city's general aspect as piescnted to the casual visitor would be incalculably enhanced. The only result of all this fooling around has been to Inflict upon the drivers of Scranton and those depen dent upon them six months of un necessary Inconvenience, risk and ex pense. We nie ready to leave It to a vote among those who use the streets of the city whether they have not lost more than .flT.SOO In the aggregate for every six months of the abominable conditions of haulage and vehicular travel now prevalent In our principal business streets. If they do not say that $17.."0fi Is a cheap price to pay per annum for the guaranteed repair of these sticets during a ten year period In which ominous will be unable by job bery, dllly dallying or ridiculous Ineffi ciency to prevent u prompt and business-like collection of every defect In the pavement, then uo stand ready to give up our contention and turn In for the sand and ashes plan of fooling with this vital matter. No wonder the business Interests of the city are threatening to call town meetings to right this monstrous In stance of lnlsgovernment. Announcement Is made that If sen tence seemingly too harsh shall be pri nounced upon Captain Coghlan for his oratorical slip eitorl will he made to have congress give him a special vo.o of thanks. The proposition Is fool Nil. If i-oghlan has violated naval discipline ho should be punished nr.d take his punishment like any other sail or. The law should be no respecter of pomms. Ulysses S. Grant. .. may without Impropriety be said of Generul Grunt that h was not the greatest military strategist of the ave, but he had In an unusual degree tho counterbalance of qualities that makes for success. He was cool, he was brave, he had a safe military Imagina tion by which term we moan thut ho could conceive of large opera thru In their entirety without being fooled as to details concernlnir either his own or tho enemy's forces -and, ubove all, he wub unhampered. It lequlred about two years of more or less aimless light ing attended with enormous loss of life and treabure to tench the politi cians at Washington that they could not put down the rooellion with Inter ference with the lighting generala and not until this realization was reached did Grant or any other Northern com mander stand a fall- show. The lesson of thu uvii war had to be learned over again In tho early part of the war with hpaln, but It Is to tha credit of the McKlnley administration that It has at lust learned It well. Otis nt Manila is unhampered. He is fighting his campaign In his own way nnd although tho struggle Is a aevro one on account of the physical aspects of the country and the climate, he seems to be achieving rupldly the re sults aimed at. There has been some whut more Interference from Washlmj tlon with tho military operations In and subsequent occupation of Cuba and Porto Wco, hut not enough to prevent the ability of Individual com inandeiiJ from usHertlnjr itself In good results. That we lack a Grant at the lieml of the nrmy Is not because wo lwvc no nnldlern capable of riovrl oping ns he developed, but bccaunn tho tnorjjcncy Is Insufllclent to icvrnl the man. Newspaper argument us to whether Quay wilt or will not be admitted to the s nuio on gubernatorial appoint ment is likely to be futile. Only the senate by open vote can decide (his point. A Rumor nnd Its Lesson. The rumors which nro yet current with respect lo the alleged connection of the Lackawanna Iron and Steel com pany with the proposed erection of a large new sleet rail plant at Stony Point, near Huffalo, havo not yet been traced to n, tangible and responsible source. They may, therefore, mean much, little or nothing. All thut N definitely known Is that Huffalo Is ap parently to have a new steel Industry confessedly bucked in part by capital ists who are also Interested In the Lackawanna concern, which may or may not have any beating upon the In dustrial future of Scranton. Hut Independent of any of these rumors the time seems opportune to re peat the familiar but necessary sugges tion that Scranton still needs more nnd better diversified Industries. TliN city has reached n dimension where It should no longer bo dependent or seem ingly deoondent on either coal or Iron ns It has been In the past. Its future prospcilty must come through more various channels. With cheap fuel and power, abundant labor, attractive nat utal surroundings and a conspicuous spirit of enterprise and hearty good fellowship among Its Inhabitants It Is In position, not simply to bog for new industries but as a matter of fact to exercise a discerning choice among pro posals of an Industrial nature. It has been demonstrated that many outsiders destro to remove plants of various kinds to Scranton. There Is no need to chase after them. But there Is need of a new era of substantial local en couragement for deserving applica tions. No city can advance Indefinitely with out putting forth continuous construct ive effort. Locally there have been spurts and then lulls in lndusttlal growth. It Is time now for a steady and unremitting development. The mere rumor of a possible removal of our largest single Industry should be suMlcient to shuke up tho dry bones and bring on a new campaign for the city's upbuilding. The report is current that Aguln aldo Is looking for some outsider to put a cushion under his downfall. The chances are that the Malay Napoleon will look In vain. Tho Pot and the Kettle. Tho Supreme court of South Carolina has nfllrmed the constitutionality of the law recently enacted in that state which puts It In tho power of the rela tives of a lynched man to sue for dam age the county In which the lynching took place. This law will, however, as the Philadelphia Ledger asserts, be powerless unless the juries enforce It. "The dumages," that paper explains, "arc collectible by the county from the persons engaged In the lynching, but In many instances the counties cannot collect owing to the difficulty of Identifying the culprits. It is to he feared that Juries will display no great zeal in vlsitlns damages on their coun ties and Increasing their own taxes for the lynchln.T of an obnoxious victim. It may be euyler to mulct the counties for these murders than It Is to convict lynchers, and It is possible that the law as afllrmed may act as a deterrent of tho horrible crimes which It Is de signed to suppress. We thull see." It ' Is. Indeed, "very doubtful" to quote further fioin the same source "whether the mere enactment of a statute like this -'It transform into law abiding neighborhoods the com munities in which atrocious and name less crimes of violence committed by both races have been frequent and have remained unpunished. If communities regard such crimes as venial they will not punish them, nor will they pay penalties In the way of Increased taxes as contemplated by the law in ques tion It looks as though these are communities where tho plow operation of education, religion and morality alone can work reform." There Is somo credit to the south In the fact that Its better citizens aro searching for some short-cut to re form. This anxiety to get good quick Is better than utter moral Indifference. Hut In the South ns well as In thu North the lesson must be learned that little good can be expected from rem edial legislation In the absence of a general lifting up of the moral nver age of the community. High Ucenso laws are Just us powerless to effect temperance reform In communities which uphold speakeaides and encour age continuous, violation of the liquor laws as antl-lynching luws are to safeguard tha administration of Justlco In communities where Justice Is ut terly misunderstood. Tho pot must not be: too vociferous in calling the kettle black. According to nx-AssIstant Postmas ter General Jones, who served under Cleveland, our diplomatic service Is a disgrace. And yec Uncle Sam appears to be holding his own. Naval officers wishing In future to comment on foreign powers would do well to employ tho sign language ex clusively.

From tho Now Yoik Sun. nT IS a woiideiful trade record which Is set forth In the report Just is sued by Mr. Frank II. Hitchcock, chief of the foreign markets sec tion of the agricultural department. Ho shows that In the ilscal year lSOS our exports were tho largest ever re corded for a twelve month, while, on the other hand, our Imports were ex ceptionally small. The value of the commodities exported by us In 1S0S was $1.'J10,291,9in, a sum which exceeded tho figures of the preceding year by $118,231,310. Our Imports weio valued at $GI6,0 10,634, or less by JHS.fiSO.'r.S than the valuation of the goods Im ported in 1S97. That Is to say, our ex ports last year were worth nlmost twice as much us our Imports. o It will interest farmers to examine Mr. Hitchcock's data In detail. Our exports of agricultural products con stituted 70.93 per cent, of the total, representing n gain of nearly 25 per cent, over 1397. On the other hand, our Imports of agricultural products showed a decrease of $SG,!i79,G72, or about 22 per cent, ns compared with the returns of the preceding year. The ex cess of our agricultural exports over our agricultural Imports was $311,210, 11(5, whereas in 1897 it was only $2SS, SS3.723. In wheat and flour alone there was a gain of nearly $100,000,000, which, moreover, was due but partially to the higher prices that obtained, for the quantity of wheat exported was nearly double that sent out of tho country In 1S97. As tegards wheat flour, Indeed, there was no marked increase In quan tity, but, even here, tho gain in value amounted to upward of $13,000,000. o Look next at the data relating to In dian corn, of which there were export ed In 1898 208,744,939 bushels, valued at $74.10S,Ro0, as against 176,910,363 bushels, valued at $5I.0S7,132, In 1S97. In tho market value of this grain there had been no striking appreciation, the aver age juice of corn In 1S9S having been 33.3 cents per bushel, us ugainst 30.0 cents In the preceding year, whereas wheat had risen to 9S.3 cents from 75.:? cents per bushel. Most satisfactory, also, are the ilgures relating to oats, of which in the fiscal year 1S9S wo ex ported C9,130,2S bushels, valued at $2", 632,914, against 34,033,332 valued at $S,730,207, in 1897. The price of this grain last year was 29.8 cents per bushel, or almost 5 cents more than In the previous twelve-month. The price of rye in the same period rose from 42.8 cents to CCS cents; our ship ments of that cereal Increased in quan tity from 8,300,271 bushels to 15,541,57.";. and In value from J3,C67,50." to $3,S25,7G9. So much for our export of brendstuffa during 1S98. o Let us glance next at the output of meat products. Of bacon wo sent abroad 030.10S.933 pounds, valued nt $1G,3S0,91S, representing a gain over 1S97 amounting In quantity to HO.709.tS1 pounds and In vnlue to $12,193,771. The export price of this commodity In 1S9S wns, on an average, 7.1 cents per pound, while It had been but C.S cents in the previous twelve-month. Scarcely less notable was the record for lard, of which In 1S9S we exported 709,314,015 pounds, worth $39,710,072; this was more than we sent In the preceding year by 111,02S,403 pounds, and the value was greater by $10,584,187. Tha average export price of this commodity rose from 5.1 cents to C.C cents. Of American hams, on tho other hand, the average export price was slightly less, being 9.3 cents per pound, as against 9.7 cents In 1897. Nevertheless, we sent abroad hams weighing in tho aggregate 200.1S5.SC1 pounds and worth S1S,9S7,523, ns against 165.217,302 pounds, valued at $15,970,021, in the year before. Of Importance, also, as regards both quantity nnd value, wns tho Increase in our exports of pickled pork, cotton seed ell, ollcako and oilcake meal, cat tle and horses. In one remarkable in stance a great Increase in quantity was accompanied by a slight falling off in value. We rjfer to our shipments of cotton, which in 1S9S were 3,830,261,295 pounds, ns against 3,103,754.91!) in tha preceding twelve-month, while . value, owing to the decline In the price of the taw staple, dropped from $230, M19,!71 to $220,442,213. o Turning to our agricultural imports, we observe that, while we bought more coffee, wo paid loss for It than we did the year before, tho average import price having fallen from 11.1 cents to 7.5 cents. Th" exact figures for 1S9S were 870,514,433 pounds, worth $03,067, fi;:t, as against 737,615,070 pounds, worth $Sl,54l,3Sl, In the preceding twelve month. The prosperity of our tanner ies is demonstrated by the fact that our Imports of hides nnd skins In creased in both quantity and value In 1S9S. Here there was an advance In price from 13.5 cents to 15.1 cents a pound. The figures for 1S0S are 245, 771.61G pounds, valued at $37.0G8,P32, while those for the previous year were 20G.100,S44 pounds, worth $27,S63,ii2G. The flourishing condition of our sllk manufacturlng industry is attested by the fact that the amount of raw silk, iiotwlthtandlng a rise In the import price from $2.37 a pound to $2.06, in creased In quantity from 7,993,414 to 12, 087,931 pound3, nnd in value by $13, IM.'SI. The shrlnkago In our imports of wool does not indicate any depres sion of our woolen Industry, because in 1897 our manufacturers tool: care to supply themselves with raw material for some time ahead, the receipts In that year having amounted to 3.10.S52. 026 pounds, valued at $33,213,191, whereas In 1S9S they were but 102,795. 202 pounds; worth $16,783,093. This notwithstanding there hud bepr. a de cline In the averugs import prlro from 15 2 cents to 12.0 cents a pound. We Bhnll. unquestionably, witness In 1899 a great Increase In tho Imports of wool. Much tho came thing mny bo said of sugar, our Imports of which In IfOS did not exceed 2.C'59,920.8.,il pounds, our refiners having brought In an immense stock in 1897, when our Imports fell but a little short of five thousand mil lion pounds, re viewed altogether, the record of our foreign commerce In 1S9S is tho most amazing over exhibited, not only In the United Stutc.1, but by any country upon earth at any time. The fact that our Imports, vast aa they are, are ex- cccdrd by our exports by ncitrly six hundred millions of dollars, may well causa some of our lSuropcuii competi tors to look forward to tho twentieth century with consternation nnd de spair. MOB RULE A MENACE. Prom the Philadelphia Press. There Is no need of llnp-erlng on the sickening details of the Georgia lynching. Thu affair In all its revolting details hus been spread before tho public and no pro founder Impression can bo made by their repetition. It Is useless ulso to argue v.lth men llko Governor Candler, ofl Georgia, who uro cither too supine or havo too little respect lor the law them selves to understand tho naturo of the results of such lawless affairs. Hducatcd men llko Charles J. llonuparte, of Balti more, and Hoko Smith and those mem bers of tho bar of Georgia who not only acquiesce In lynching but defend It In certain cases, can also bo brushed asldo ns unworthy of notice. If they have not learned tho usclcssnrss of mob law as a crime deterrent ufter trying It for twenty two yeurn their case Is hopeless. o Tho aspect of this question which needs to be brought before tho northern public Is tho effect theso exhibitions of barbar ism uro having and arc likely to have on public sentiment In this section. That respect for law has lessened and tho re sort to I ho mob has Increased In north ern states during tho past ten years Is evident to any or.o who keeps in touch with passing events. Within tho past few years nearly a dozen men havo been lynched In Indiana and one man lias been lynched and two others saved from tho mob's fury by tho aid of the militia In Ohio. Scattered cases of mob law havo occurred In other states and attempts at lynching nro heard of In communities which twenty years ago would have been Insulted by an Intimation that anything but tho usual course of justice would bo tolerated within their limits. o All these signs of the gradual growth of the mob spirit aro too evident to bo Ignored. When the south began lynching colored men for criminal assaults upon women tho law-abiding class mado no protest. In fact many applauded it and continue to do so. They excuso this sum mary method of Justice by tho claim that It Is necessary to Impress in the stiongest and sternest way upon tho negro mind tho fact that punishment would follow the commission of that crime In tho quickest possible manner. Under this popular acquiescence In mob law lynchlngs went on indiscriminately, and soon the mob naturally came to think that as lynching was excused In one class of crimes it would bo excused In other classes of crimes. Then lynching for murder began nnd soon lynching for rob bery and Incendiarism followed. And to day, there Is no kind of crime in tho south which Is not liable to bo punished by lynching provided the person who committed 11 Is colored. o The brutalizing effect of this submission to mob law is evident In overy commun lty in the south. There Is not a county which has not felt Its demoralizing results. To a traveler from tho north this condition of society at tlrst causes a pain ful shock, and the question Is Inevitably asked whether northern society can sink to tho same level. It certainly will un less strenuous efforts nro made to check tho growth of the mob spirit nnd public opinion is educated to respect law and order. There must be no acquiescence In mob law for any reason whatever, and the authorities must be promptly nnd vig orously upheld In their efforts to main tain the majesty of tho law. It Is bet ter that a score of the guilty should es cape Justice than that the brutal passions of a mob should glut Its vengeance on one criminal. In no other way can tho community be saved from the demoral ization sure to follow public acquies cence in the rule of the mob. o Tho pulpit nnd the newspapers havo the chief responsibility In this matter. They have tho ear of tho public and can Inform and mould public sentiment as no other authorities can. Tho prompt condemnation passed on the Georgia lynching by tho liuptlst ministers' meet ing of Monday wns encouraging. It should be followed by similar utterances from every denomination and from every pulpit In the north. Tho volco of tho newspa pers should be no less emphatic and unan imous In deMmclatlon of mob law. Prom every authoritative source and by every ineaua public sentiment should ho aroused to tho enormity of lynching If civilization is to be preserve nnd the north saved from tho demoralization which prevails so extensively In tho south. Lateness "Too late!" she cried, and pressed tho fatal potion to her lips. It wis In this hour that tha woman's lofty spirit revealed itself. "I'd rather ho too lato than not lato enough. I toll you those!" sho remarked, for In her happier days she had known what It was to wear the swellest hat In the congregation. Detroit Journal. TIIE SPAN OF LIFE. tProm Dawn to Night.)

OPINIONS ON QUAY VERDICT. Consolation. Rochester Democrat nnd Chronicle. We are now told that Senator Quay escaped conviction on "technical" grounds. As a matter of fact, every technical question raised during the trial was decided In favor of the prose cution. We are also told that ho had a "narrow escape." Possibly. The Democratic Philadelphia Times says: "The district attorney exorcised his right, under the old common law rello of tho dark ages, to stand aside four teen Jurors of the panel, which gave him eighteen challenges against four for tho defense. The Jury was, there fore, practically chosen by the prose cution." Yet thu defense rested Its case on tho prosecution's testimony, and won on It. In this view, tho "es cape" does iiol seem to havo been so very "narrow." Hut of course Senator Quay's defeated enemies have the right to administer consolation to them selves. A Great Victory. Prom the Albany Journal. Tho result of this case Is a great vic tory for Matthew Stanley Quay, and a crushing defeat for his political op ponents, for, as we said above, the desire to ruin hlin politically was para mount In tho minds of those who Insti gated the charge against him.
