Incredible at It may seem, some of the most needless and ll.iRiant lol.itlons of the snnltuiy laws mav be found In localities wheie no excuse can be offered. Many resi dents about the city of means and ap parent IntelllKCnre constantly show a disposition to encounter the danireis of decaying pailnpe rather than contri bute to the Income of the men who fur nish mnterlal for the crematory. Then Is scarcely a vacant plot of ground nhout the city that Is not reeking with 111th of Mime kind mixed with nshes and brush In neatly nil lntnnces these contributions to the dNease ln ec ding elements hao been made un der cover of daikness and It Is next to Impossible, to detect one of the mis creants. There Is no question that the foice of sanitary policemen should be Increased at once. Under nny clicum stances, It Is Impossible for one mount ed olllcer to attend to the duties nf this branch of municipal work; but unless a sp'rlt of cleanliness can bo fostered to a gieitor extent among the nlleged decent people of the city one bundled sanltai oflleers would not be able to accomplish, much In the way of l eform One thing m.ij be said In fnoi of the Xuntlfokc stiike, which was settle 1 amk ililj the othei day Although one of the most lmpoitant of the jea." it was conducted without bloodshed The settlement was biought about by con cessions on ii.it t of both mlneis and emplojei an 1 all, therefoie, hav ua son to rejoice at tho outcm.". Viaduct Prospects, SINTL Tin: West I.ickauan- na avenue I telnet pioposltlon, was n t befni the people In a tangible font, a change In management has occuirrd In the Dela irp, Lackawanna mil Western Hail, void companv and therefore It would be timely to have fioni the new man agement an expression of opinion as to the need of such a stfegunrd to life and piopertv on this much tiav eled thoroughfnie. The old regime suppnited the viaduct proposition lib erally, offering to contribute $10 000 to ward the expense of Its constiuctlon, and we have no doubt that the pics enf officials will be equally public spir ited. Troni the interview- with Piesi dont Clink, of the Scianton Hallway company, printed In nnothei column. It appeals that that compuiv Is al-o still nnious for a vKduct and icady to offer substantia! ercpuragement. "With so much to build cm, a now via duct agitation ought to have tin e isy pathway to success. Tho construction of such a saf guard Is a public neces fitly, more so now than ever before. If the icport that mllltaiy men are, through Jealousy, endeavoiing to de feat the nppolntment of Genei.il Leon ard Wood as govcinoi of Cuba Is tine, it Is nn Indication that the military men thus engaged are unfit foi tho responsibilities of the M-ivice and should be given extended fui loughs. The Idea that tho government Is i uu In the inteiest of those who nie f - tunate enough to be servants of th- public Is one that should bo dlseou -aged Not Guilty but Pay Costs. --jr-V113 FRHQUfiNOY with which B Jill y veidlcts of "not guilty Jl but pay lohts" nie lendeied in this and adjoining coun ties from time to time raises question of the fairness of such icturns While on the face contrndlctoiy, this ver dict In numerous Instances lepiesents ns near nn approximation to common sense Justlco as the clicumstances will allow". Take the raso of a man charged with a petty cilmo on an Indictment huidly worth the court's attention, us, for example, assault and battel y. It not lnfjequently happens that In such cases while pi oof of guilt Is not over whelming It Is clicumstnnUillv pte sumptlve or the testimony brings to light features of conduct not covered by the Indictment jet plainly worthy of model ate discipline. In such a ver dict the words "not guilty" Indicate lather tho elstenco of a leasonaoie douht-thnn positive belief In th de fendant's Innocence on tho chaige as sta'eil, and tho imposition of costs up on him Is a kind of crude reminder that It will pay him to be, on ffiioinl pilnclplu, tnoie circumspect In futuio. Thosevwhn argue that the Juiy hri In logic no right to go a hali'h btoadth bevnnd tho.buun.da of the Indictment offer n proposition which Is thcoiotl cally sound. But In tho nvory day cur lent of events practice and themy eiy often diveit'o, und so In tho case of the "not guilty hut pay costs" verdict practical Juiors often give their vote and voice for the essence of Justice ns between man and mnn lather than for the technical foimalltlcs of logic anu the law. Senator Mason's nnxlety to twist the lion's tall would probably cease at once should a Hrltlsh gun bo pointed In this direction, anil ho would ngaln be tho quiet and peaceful citizen of tho Spanish-American war peilod. The A.ollneux Trial. Till: TRIAL, of Mollncux, who has been niralgned In New Yolk for the minder of Mrs. AiUun.s, hns attracted more than usual Interest on nccount of Its pecullnr features and tho manner In which the case hns been conducted. Kqulpped with an array of legal coun sel picparcd to leave no stone untuined tosnvethelrclltnt, tht prisoner hns been able to ninke his trial one of the most tedious upon lecord. More time wa.s consumed In selecting the juiy than Is usually given to tho healing of an or llnnry case and before the opening of the evidence eome of the members of tho panel were obliged to retire, 111 from the oi deal to which they had boon sub jected, while those who did remain weie In no condition phv ideally or mentally to weigh the testimony Intro duced. The strenuous efforts on part of the counsel, however, to free the prisoner are liable to be made fruitless through the testimony of avvomanwhowns for merly emploved to enre for the apart ments of Mollneux. This unwilling witness, while trjlng to shield her for mer emplover, has given evidence that has proved the connecting link In the chnln of chcumstnnces and mny land the pilsoner In the electrical chair. If this trial shall result In the. conviction of the man who has laughed nt arrest and has seemed secure from punish ment when fortified by learned counsel and the deep mjstery (that has sui rounded the murder of Mrs. Adams, It w 111 be but another proof of the asser tion that justice will sooner or later oveitake the evil-doer Congressman Sibley -ayq that pios perltj' has made tho V to 1 theory lidiculotis Mr PIblev does not pro pose to be made lldlculous by longer clinging to an exploded fallacy. American Tajjals. fT"m: MKMPHIS Commeiclnl 1 Appeal, a leading Homo- li emtio journal of the South, contains In a recent Is sue timely reference to the Ameilcan antl-expanslonlsts and objectors, who will be confionted with serious ques tions for consideration In the heieaf tel.

Legally tliey are traitors, and meill the extieme penalty of tho law. That theie aro bemociats who would align themselves with these mis creants and go before the countiy in a presidential election asking a popular Indoi.sement of perfidy Is the apotheosis ot Insanity. It Is so Incredible as to be sickening. Those who favor such i pollcj, with the lights flaming befoie them and the lights of hlstoiy nam ing behind, are Impeivious to argu ment or the appeals of reason. What thej need Is the servlci s of an alienist and confinement In a sanitarium where mental maladies are ticated" The Republican paity .the paitj of pi ogress and equity, Is better qualified to diaw the lino at the proper point upon trusts than any other political oi iranlration, and there Is no need for doubt that the subject w 111 receive due consolidation fiotn the fifty-sixth congiess Porto Rico and the Tariff. jpIin OIUHCTIOXS which me I being enteied by certain JL special Intel tsts to die adoption of the ptesld-.ia lecommendutlons that tatlft baulks between Potto Rico and the Unite I States be .swept away nie naliual enough.

Noi would such pioteetlon be wise In the long lun. If Porto Rico can glow better tobacco than Connecticut or offer to the cities of the Atlantic seaboaid cheaper sugar than the beet pioduct of tho middle west, then to permit hei to do so will be the same economy which justifies the freest of commoiclal Inteitouise among tho htatcs anil older teirltoiles 0f the Ameilcan Union. The lesult of this In tel lor fieedom of trade has been the development of each locality along the Hues of Its special aptitudes, thus not only insuilng a mutual profit In the exchange by one locality of its pro ducts for the different pioducts of nn other, but also giving to our nntlon a diversification of resouices which Is its gieatest element of economic strength. The special Interests which want Por to Rico to be held as a fotelgn Island In everything but the title nio short sighted as well as unjust. They would cut off their nose to spite their face. Lord Mayor Tallon, of Dublin, who has Just returned homo from a visit to this countij", declares "America ta opposed to tho Iniquitous Bouth African war." The meaning of tho Lord Mayor, pet haps, may not be properly Judged from tho nbove sentence, but If ho w Ishes to convey the Idea that this country, In view of past events, Is ready to array Itself against England, It Is evident th-it the Lord Major hns secured his Information icgaidlng Ameilcan sentiment from some of the uncensored war correspondents. The poor water ot 'Philadelphia should be no serious oblectlon to tho city as a placo of holding a national convention.

It Is now assorted that the antl Ameilcan sentiment In Cuba has been Instigated by a woman known as "Captain" Adella Ascuy, who appears to bo aflllcted with the Colonial Dame mania In aggravated form. Mr. Iiallev, of Texas, In his disposi tion again to meddle with tho affairs of General Joe Wheeler, Illustrates anew that the objectors In peace are generally tho non-combatants in war.

A Philadelphia widow, whose first husband was on ofllcet during the Civil war, took as her set'ond lord and master a wealthy man, and went to Huiope, where she remained for five yeais, says the Philadelphia Record. Prior to her depaiture she gave awaj some of her household effects, among which were her first husband's uni form and epaulettes. The recipient of the latter gift was tho mother of a couple of small boys, and the young steis got Into so much mischief with the uniform that she one daj' traded It to an Itinerant merchant for a red glass decanter and half a dozen cor dial spoons. The recent war spirit communicated Itself to the widow of the dead veteran, who had In the mean time returned to Philadelphia, and she felt a longing to reglln possession of the uniform. So she dlspitehed a note to her former friend, requesting Its leturn. The filend wnh in a ter rible state of mind at being unable to com pi j', but at a v enture she packed up the decanters and glasses, w 1th a line saying "These are all I have rep resenting Geneial 's personal ef fects " In return she lecelved a let ter of gratitude for the faithful care she had bestowed on her charge, con cluding: "I cannot tell you how often I have seen my beloved general drink his cordial out of one of those frail little glasses and pi ess It upon me They are among my most cherished memories of my hero I shall always have them near me " Sure enough, the decanter and glasses were on the table at her next tea. Time Evened Things Up. There Is an old proverb which says tli it all things come to him who waltn. Congressman GUI, of Ohio, -who suc ceeds the late Lorenzo Danford, is ". living example of its truth, .siys the Washington Post Mr GUI Is tho largest manufacturer of lump chlmnejs In the world, but this has nothing to do with the storj-. Away back In 1872, when Danford was running for congress, GUI was a dele gare to the nominating convention, which, by the ray, was his Mist ex perience In politics It was a close contest, and GUI, by throwing the votes of his county to Danford, se cured the latter's nomination. Danford served tbiee terms and then practiced law for eighteen yeais When he again sought a nomination GUI hap pened to be a member of tho conven tion, and by a curious coincidence was In a position to give Danford the ne cessary essential votes. Danford came to congress and served two terms. During his second term he sought GUI "It's jour turn now," he said. "I will decline a nomination, nnd j'ou can be rejected " "Rut," Mid Gill, "hav e you any law practice now ? And hadn't J'ou better hold onto the 5-5,000 a year for another teim?" "I'll take my chances," replied Dan ford. "I won't do it," said Gill, emphat ically So Danford ran ngaln and was re elected. He died timing the summer, GUI was numed to fill the vncancj- and last Mondnj- stood In Danford's place to take the oath. Omitted. Tho Memphis Scimitar tells of a ne gro preacher who had Just concluded the ceiemnny which united nn old negro In matrimony for the fourth time. The silence which usually follows an occasion of this kind was broken by the preacher In his effort to relieve the embaiiassment of the attendants. "It Is usually tho custom," ho said, "for the preacher to kiss the bride, but this time we will omit." The giooin gave his j-oung wlfo a healthy smack, and, turning to the pieacher, slid. "Parson, It am usally de case for do groom to glvo do paison somethln', but ills time we'll omit," nnd lie walked away from the astonished preacher with his bride on tils arm. HiB Joke on the Doctor, Colonel Daniel H, Anthony, brother of Susan H. Anthonj', and tho last of the lighting edltots of Kansas, Is on iccoid, says tho San Fianclsco Wave, as the only man who has had his not to served and lived. In a news paper feud with a gnmblti named JpuniKou, Anthony was shot. The doc tor told him ho could not live. The wounded man did not say anything, but bade his sister good bye and went to sleep. When he awoko ho asked tho nutse: "What time Is It?" "Six o'clock," replied the nurse Tho colonel chuckled for n moment, then said: "Say, that's n good Joke on Doc Sinks, Isn't It? He said I'd be dead nt C.30." Ho feci asltep again nnd when ho nwoko tho doctor acknowledged his mistake. Went to the Wrong Tlace, When has the lilshman ever Incited for the retort, courteous or discour teous? He was sitting in the mlctdlo of tho seat on a street car when two women got on. They looked nt him as If demanding that he give them tin seat, so they might sit together, but ho didn't see the hint, nnd while ono had to flounce herself down by him the other took a seat just opposite. Then the roast began: "Did j'ou go away this summer, Mrs Jones?" asked No. 1. "N'o," she said, "I was going to At lantic City, but I heard so many com mon Irish were there thnt I JTist stayed at home. I couldn't stnnd them j'ou know " "That's Just my case," giggled No. 2 "I was going to Saratoga, but some one said to me- 'Don't go, you'll find nothing but low Irish there." "Faith, mem," suggested thp gpntle man who had inspired this conversa tion, "why didn't yez go to shook There's no Olrish theiei." Louisville Times. The Latest in Advertising. A new scheme of advertising wns to sorted to bj' a piogresslve business llrm In a piospeious city in the South, sajs the Philadelphia Call. Tho Junior partner of the firm swore out a wni- rant for the arrest of the senior part ner on the ground that he was selling goods below cost and that the llrm wns constantly losing money thereby. Tho caso came up In court and tho counsel for the senior partner asked for a postponement In order to have more time to prepare his case The Judge granted the request, ball was fixed and the senior member re leased. As he left the court room the Junior paitner aiose and exclaimed: "If he is leleased tho sacilflce will go on." The news soon spread and the firm did a better business. When the case was again called no plaintiff nppeared and tho case was dismissed The film had succeeded in their object advertisement. Opposed to Civil Service Eeform.
