Tho openlnp of the Hotilevnrd speed

pvent of much Interest not only to
lovcia of horse HcMi, but to nniuintnetit
soekeni generally. The KliiiliuiL-t
Houlevnrd It porlmiM one of the lliust
in the world, nnd tho now houso of en

IT TIIK MCi:.Sn committee of
common council Is Ku It will
think lens and cut-fully befoio
Klvinr: Its unqunlllli'il Indnisc
mrnt to Mayor Moll's inopoM
tloti to extort $10,000 of additional
taxes each year fioin the lnis'l
mss men of Sctanton. This sweep
ing ni'W it'wnui' schenu- Is not
Justlllable on any account. Theie
lias, as a picliliiinuiy, been no ade
quate i-ffnit to cut needless cltv ex
poises. Theie has b-en no new guar
antee thnt If moil- money were pom el
Into the municipal hopper It would
not, like much of the money now p.iH,
be frltti red away with little show for
It mvo the bare necessities of govern
ment. The new proposition In Its beai lug
one of stand and deliver, and It Is lev
eled for the most part nt the head" of
the very men In the community whvii
the city can least afford to ovel burden
to drive out of town.
The business men of Seranton nro
taxed enough. Don't Imnglne that
they escape the tax on real estate be
cause many of them nre teijants; It Is
nil llguicd In In the rent. And the taxes
v hleli they don't pay In the name of
the law they pay in the foim of en
forced contributions to picnics, falls
nnd benefits, to charity, philanthropy
nnd lellglon, to one or another of a
thousand objects accustomed to con
sider that the man who keeps a shop
or a store Is fair nnd proper prey. To
ndd to this already heavy burden a
new weight of license taxation, most
of It crude and reckless In Its sched
ules of assessment, would not only bo
to commit an outrage without a scin
tilla of substantial excuse, but It would
also be to adveitlse to tliu woild at
large that the city government of
Seranton, Instead of icllectlng the
city's proveiblal hospitality, legarda
liierehants,wtth disf.ivot anil legislates
to encourage tlitin to locate olsewheie.
We caie nothing In this connection
about what has been done In Hanls
buig, Wllke.s-Haite or Podunk. Tho
rule hitherto In Seranton has been to
welcome capital and give cordial en
couiagement to entcipilse, and it Is .1
good rule to continue..
It ex-Cleik I-Vttetolf, of the House at
Hairlsburg, had waited until after tho
Philadelphia city convention, It U
piohablc. that his resignation would
have been postponed Indefinitely.

P i:XPYI. VANIANS v.ho do.
live their political Informa
tion chiefly fieri, the Phila
delphia now.qiaprts con
trolled bv Mr. Wanai.iaki r and his
nntl-Quay league will b.- liiteiested
liri
learning that at the iiili'i-ir" elections
held In Philadelphia on Tues Iny even
ing, with the lines tightly drawn be
tween the men who belU-ve In the John
Wnnamaker w.iv of runii'ng politics
and those who, in spite of all the In
vented odium beared upon It by Mr
Wanamakei's hlu-d mm, prefer th.
M. S. Quay way, tho admliers of
Quay captuii'd the city committee by
a two-thlids vote, cariied twenty-llva
of the twenty-seven legislative dis
tricts In tho city, named nln, of tho
ten national delegates and wlt.ed out
of politics the magistiate who orlgln
nlly lent himself to the WunainuUer
rplte pio-ecutloii of tjuay on tho
trumped up ili.iip.e of consplilug to
u-e state funds. TI.e Philadelphl 1
papers whli h me continued by lit oth
er Wanamaker aie not saying much
about thoe pilmailea. but th inde
pendent Pblla lelpl.la Tlmfta view si in
llieni a demonstration of tho fact that
In Philadelphia nt least tho co-called
lusuigcnt element bin little to show
for Itself besides bluff and noise- mil
we suspect that this u tine In a lar.-ra
majoilty of the comities tbioughou;
th" state.
. Itepubllcan stalwarts will bo en
coinared by the Phllat'elphla lesulfc
to put up 1 t.quaie light In evey other
disputed arena, classing the Insuigeuts
as pait and paicel of the Democratic
opposition and not trying to conciliate
the professionals amonr them by of
fujs of eompiomlse. Two yeais ngo,
as Colonel MeC'luro points out, com
ptomlses weto mnde in a number of
counties with the only practical re
sult of mixing things up. This year
ho pic-dieU that where the atalwatts
or Quay followers have the power to
nonilnnte a legislative tkket they will
mako it distinctly stalwart from top
th bottom, rind the Independents 'H.ill
rheet such nominations by aggressive
opposition jegardlesa "f tho possible
or probable election of Democrats, and
bo correctly opines that: "Such a
conflict, involving war to the death
between two opposing elements of a
great party, must result in the com
plete overthrow of one and tho com
plete mastery of the other. There will
be no middle ground."
On tho whole it will be well to havo
this entire Issue substantially disposed
of at one election. If the ncpunllcin
people of tho state ptefer the Wnna-nmUer-Mnrtln-,Fllnn
stylo of leadership
to the leadership of Colonel Quay,
tliey should havo a chance to say so,
mit KVAKdeaiy or, with qualifying
I'lauren1,' Uu't' In crisp Anpln-SnSn!t7 Jf
they do not hanker after a trade of
thnt character tliey should be equally
ettdlclt. The stie Is joined nt right
angles and until the party electorate
;looi make clear Hh choice It will prob
ubly not know the meaning of peace.
Mr. llockefellrr's demonstration of
the necessity of trusts given before the
industrial commission the other day al
most makes one sigh for tho possession
of a few blocks of Ptnndaid oil stock.

w
HO AMONd those who
speak lightly of a gen
eral strike In the mlncn
has been through such n
strike? Do those who would coun
tenance so great a misfortune realize
fully tho feat ful consequences ?
In the region commercially tributary
to Seranton, If we estimate that C0,i0
men engaged In and about tho mines
me now earning, on the average, Jl! a
day apiece, when they wotk, It would
need onlv .ten days of enfoiccd Idle
nes to take out of labor's pocket Sl,
000.000: In one bundled das tho loss
would be i'ci eiiotmoun ns to stagnate
for yeais to conic the general business
of the whole community. Can libor
afford to pay so gioit a 111 Ice1 Wheio
Is the gain that could possibly com
pi'tiati'? Where has a mine liiiko
ever icpnid the ftilkets for tho time
and wages lost? Hut nioie than
the coal operators, moio than the
Illinois, ate concerned In the propo
sition of n sti Ike; every man, woman
and child In the Lackawanna valley
without exception Is conceimd. because
a stilke means loss to every one; means
fcvctlsh days and sleepless nlghtn;
means passions moused In which dis
order Is hot ii! means the turning away,
pet haps for n time, pot haps for all
time, of the prospetlty, so long and so
eagetly nwnlted, which has but lately
approached within vlo, Uoforo It Is
oven consldeied setlously the conse
quences should bo carefully and prny
ei fully weighed.
Who says there Is Justification for
the btlnging down upon the people of
this valley of such an awful calamity?
If n cyclone weie to sweep through,
carrying death or destruction to inno
cent thousands, Its appalling visita
tion might be accounted for nnd as
suaged without putting blame upon
any Individual. If ti conlligratlon
ntlglnntlng In necldent should lav In
ashes a thousand home, tho homes
untouched would instantly bo lluown
open to s-heltor the shelterless and
humane hands would generously put
fmth the means of a piompt lecon
structlon. Cyclone and lite ate Inevit
able hazards. Hut a sit Ike Is a mis
foi tunc which does not befall by
chance. It has Its designeis. Its pto
nioti'i.s, Its abettois. It Is n climax
cunningly woiked up to; and like tho
bomb hulled Into tho ciowd It spieads
Its havoc alike among tin just and
the unjust, being most plti'.Ms In Its
ciuolty to the weak.
Is It because the mines today nro
woiklng better time and tho miners
eat nitig better pay than for a long time
past that we ate homing thieats of a
stilke? Xo honest miner in this val
ley has been or will be 1 of used
a luaiing when scklng on', as man
to man, or by committee, ficm his
omplojer. The door of evety icput
nble mine manager Is open to eery
employe who has a suggestion to make
or a gilev.ince to ptesent. It
does not take counsel fiom afar
.to lnfoim Intelligent mlneis how
they shall go about It to cam for
their families the ampler wages ails
Ing fiom better bteak-r tlnv These
outsiders cannot, with all th.'Ir argu
ment, add to tho number of days that
the bicakcr will wotk In the month,
they can only subtract from It, if their
Inteifeionce shall fotce a shut down
or a stilke. It Is, th-Mcfote. for tho
intelligent miner to sav who, her a
stilke shall or shall not onur. It Is
ills Inlei est and hla family's Interest
which Is chli't'v at stnk It la his
Ilaco and duty, and not the place and
duty of any ptofesslciul agitator or
luetcutlal enthusiast, to cast the do
cldli g vote.
Let the men of sense, the men if
cool Judgment, the men who kno"
from expei lenco what sttlkes mean,
come to the ft out among tho wnge
eainers of this valley and extlnguls'h
tho spark of danger befoio It can ba
fanned Into a consuming flame.

ALTHoraii ti
of the cotif
mission whli
he f 01 mill lepott
gtesslon.il coin-
leh has been In
quiring into indtistil.il con
ditions and methods will not bo tians
mltted to const ess for some weeks to
come, an Intetcstlng fotecast of the
bailout features of the repot t appeals
In the Washington cotrespoudeiice of
tho Chicago Ilecoul.
"The great question offeted for solu
tion Is the consolidation of conunor.
clal and industrial entet prises Into
combinations commonlv called trus.s,
which the commission docs not," sas
the Hucord correspondent, "consider
Injurious to the public welfare ptnvldej
they ore propetly managed. To instirj
their proper contiol several proposi
tions have boon suggested. T' at which
has been given most prominence, dur
ing tho hearings, and which Is con
sidered by the commission as the ky
to tho situation, Is disci imlnntlon ill
freight rates In favor of th.' coipora
tlons. It lias bean einphasi.'d that In
dividual producers, compvtii g com
panies, etc., could link? a Jalr fight
against the trusts provided the ral.
roads would give thorn eqinl advant
ages In lates. This suggested amend
ments to tho law extend'ng tho au
thority of tho Interstate commeiej
commission and glvinir It vouer 10
prevent and punish dlsjilm'natlon, by
which most of the Injurious e'Tects of
trials r,m bo removed through coin,
petition which will then be posslbV.
Another Important recommendation
will bo to control trusts ns natlonn
banks nre controlled, to secure the pub
lication of their expenditures, receipts,
earnings, dividends, salaries, wages,
opciatlng chnrge.s, profits and other
itemn which will show their actual
condition nt fioqurnt Intervals and
penult tho public to ascot tain th'.
value of their stock. The commission
will nlso recommend that r-irpotatlors,
combinations and trusts .should not Jj
permitted to overcapitalize or water
their stock. The latter 1 loposltlons
are not only suggested In tho Interest
of the public, but for tho benefit of
Individual stockholder, ho as Inno
cent Investors nro f-equentlv tho vic
tims of manipulation by tho directors
and others nt t'10 head of the trusts.
It Is believed that these two objects
can also be accomplished through
amendments to the lt.tcisr.itp law. lly
making the products of ti tints taxable,
like liquor, tobacco and oleomargarine,
the combinations can be brought within
tho Jurisdiction of the federal court."
It Is vety noticeable that this Idea
of subjecting to public regulation tho
gioat combinations of capital nnd
power which exist through legal In
corporation Is gaining converts tnpldly
among tho moie Intelligent students of
tho tt 11st problem. It was the ptln
clpal topic consldeied In Governor
Itoosevelt's recent message, and follow-
Intr him 'comes Kiovetnor Nash of
Ohio, whoso Inaugutal address Is an
able plea for state supervision of cor
porations. "These nttlflclal poisons,"
rays he, "except Insurance companies,
lailroad companies, building nnd loan
associations and certain banking com
panies, ate practically under no re
sttalnt bv the state and make no re
ports to her ofllcers. Largo mining,
manufaetutlng, commercial and other
enterprises are carried on by and
thiough them. I'ccauso they are
cieated by tho state and possess certi
ficates bearing the impress of her seal,
people nre led to believe that they are
safer to do burlness with and are
moie entitled to credit than nro pri
vate paitnoishlps nnd Individuals. In
very many cases they are less worthy
of confidence. They nro authorized by
the state to do business before one dol
lar of the capital stock has been paid."
Governor Nash suggests that before
ooiporatlons bo permitted to do busi
ness the state should requite that the
capital stock be nil paid In. To
make sine that the money is paid In,
Governor Nash Would have reports
made to some competent state officer,
lie would oven go further and lequlra
corpoiatlons to make annual leports,
to bo filed with tho ofllcers Indicated.
Those leports, among other things,
should show tho capital stock paid In,
how the money Is Invested, what the
assets aie, the amount of the liabilities
and tho names of the .stockholders.
As a condition of their admission to
Ohio, Governor Nash would also have
foreign coiporations make as complete
dlsclosuios concot nlng their financial
condition and buslm.ss as domestic
coiporations ate lequlred to make.
With (Son et nor lSoosovelt, he stands
for the fullest publicity as to mattets
In NNhlch tho public, has a proper In
tel est.
It has boon said by cynical coni
montatois that out of this popular dis
cussion of ttusts nothing tangible will
come. Wo dissent from that vIcnv. It
seems to us that public opinion Is
tnpldly crystallizing about certain
leinedlal legislation In the nature of
legulation which It will both enact an I
enfotce.
There will doubtless bo bitter disap
pointment In some quartets that Kng
l.ind did not give the United States an
oppottunity to go to war over the con
signment of Hour at Delagoa bay.

WOMDN AKD a study under all con
ditions. Sometimes the study in
tensifies in Interest, paitlculany
on tho occasion of an accident.
There wns opportunity for much modttn
lion on their various methods yesterday
when the inr tan nwny on Pino street
nnd breiko Itself Into little bits after leav
ing tho track. One never can qulto pre
dict whnt pcoplo will do under Mich cir
cumstances nnd e-spe chilly what ono will
do one's self. It Is nil vety nvcII to plan
out a beautiful lino of proccduro which
shall havo In It, self fnerlfleo and nobil
ity of purpose, but probably when tho
test comes ono will crawl under tho scat
or trumplo on babies. '
IT WAS an awful moment on that car
when tho passengers realized that tt
wns past control as tho motorman
leaped for his llfo. Poor fellow! lie
stayed by his post ns long as Micro was
nny earthly Uso of doing so nnd while ho
wns still at tho front even tf ho were
powerless to avert tho catnstrophe, some
degree of composure could bo preserved,
but when all suddenly foresaw Imminent
a horrible fate from which no mental
power could protect the in, It wns an un
plensnnt situation. Tho natural Inclina
tion seemed to bo to scream, which
many did nnd then to look for some way
of escape by a leap, but fast as tho mind
wories, innt runaway car was Fwirtcr,
nnd by tho time each thought death was
certain, all wore In a mass on tho floor.
Then was the opportunity to study char
acteristics but most of tho passengers
were otherNNlso engaged.
OND VHKY large woman seemed to bo
nt tho bottom of tho heap. Sho
was 0110 of tho feNV who were unin
jured, but she yelled unlntermlt
tently from the time sho sat down Nvitli
her tNNO feet straight out In front ot h?r
and a number of passengers occupying
seats upon her, until sho trudged oft
down town weeping copiously. "I am
killed entirely," sho declared, although
one of tho persons sitting on her kneo
took the trouble to assure her that sho
was all right and If only sho would keep
still would bo helped out In duo time.
Hut sho struggled desperately nnd dug
her flsts Into tho ribs of nil the people lu
tho Nlclnlty and offered up a largo as
sortment of prayers.
A fair girl with tho blood streaming
down her fuco helped to hold tho roof
from crushing tho passengers In the rear
of tho car and never uttered a moan or
complaint. Moio than ono man who
struggled for relcnsc near her went away
bearing on his coat crimson touches from
her wounds nnd tho memory of her brave,
steady young eyes In his heart. A strong
oung woman ut her side clawed and
fouKht like a wild animal long after tho
danger was past.
Ai-other who had Industriously poked
opt n ventilators as she entered tho close,
Nllo ntme sphere of the enr whero sho
laid to stand In the aisle, oddly enough
had the pudden half comical thought flit
through her dazed luain ns, from n pios
trate position on tho floor, she s.inv tho
roof smashed nnd driven off. "Well, wo
haNo plenty of air noNV."
A LADY sat quietly and with seem
ing placidity with her feet fastened
beneath the debris while her .ou
kept the 1 oof ft 0111 beating her down.
When extricated she walked olf down tho
strict nnd attended to thn on amis on
N.'hlch sho was bound as If nothing hid
happened. Tho das of hslcries ate
past lu the ease ot feminine minds
trained to self contiol and practical lde.is.
A pntty girl Ittt tho loslest checks
which e-Nen the tenors of tho aee-nient
could not pale and which It might almost
bo believed, death H-elf could not blanch,
was lending nsMstanee to tho injured
iippiiiently uneon-clous thut from a w-Ue
out on her brow blood was streaming,
her cheeks still deeper, "Why ou aro
hurt!" said a bystander. Then sha
touched her face, saw tho ruddy mark
on her hand and began to cry softly.
A HUNGARIAN mother with almost
a madonna fnce dtaped by the In
cNltablc shawl, held a little- baliy
lu her nrnis. Attir the ilrst shock
and whii people began to leallze that
they were still alive, rot a few thought
of tho baby. Natutally tt must bo
crushed for passengers clambered upon
each other nnd the elite! glass was ev
orjwhere, but Inquiry showed the little
mother with the samo calm, imperturb
able, countenance, the tiny child blink
ing Its eyes In pleased wonder at the
scene, utterly unhurt. Surely He who
holds the llghtenlngs In Ills hands doth
sometimes lean down to tuin nsldo the
path of death down which wo mottnls
would plungo too si on.
IT IS most unfortunate that the in
clemency of tho weather prevented
tho Dim Park otgan recital last night,
for it Is tho opportunity which many
desired to hear Miss Turnbull, whose
beautiful soprano voice Iwb attracted so
much favorable comment during ner isit
to this city. Miss Turnbull sings In tho
Knst Straw biidgo Methodist church in
Daltlmore and will leavo tomorrow for
her home.
