The nprd of. n street car route to Hyde Park out of the way of the dead ly steam car tracks Is iccnznlzcd by all; but. the obvious objections to an elevated ihill-oud In the middle of Wet Lackawanna avenue should cause a. careful wcIbIiIiik of alternative pro Jtcts, of which there ate several. In older to protect those who ride in Hit eel cats the cltv does not want to Incicas-e the dangers of those who drive. Protect the Library. 1 -V VKNTS HAVi: established I 4 the truth of the prediction fl -J made by the esteemed Krej l'res.s two weeks ago, when, In a righteous attack upon tin Mulvin resolution to dtaw the pub lic library Into local politics, it said: "It Is hardly likely that scholars like Kev. Father McGoldrlck, Uov. Hogeis Isiael, IJev. .'. 51. Glllln, Attorney Pilco and (illicit will care to have their woik in connection with the li brary criticized by men who can hard ly distinguish a hornbook fiom nn en cyclopedia." Thesp gentlemen, wo take it, don't mind the ciltlciffm, because they know It is Ignorant; but they do very prop erly object to an Illegal Dogberry supervision which, If permitted, would in n shoit time probably end the II biary's usefulness. It is not a ques tion of having the library accounts audited. They are audited now, bet ter than any account which come under the eagle eyes of the joint au diting committee of councils. It Is a question of clothing n few Incompetent men in councils with power, which tliey are not lltted to exercise, but which for that viry icaton they would be alt the more eager to display, to exercise a ludicrous censorship over library affairs and to intermeddle with details until the library would be con verted into a mom nf ul mommy. The light of the liusteis Is for the protec tion of an Institution which has proved itself one of the most valuable benef icences in the history of Soianton. It U a battle against vandalism. The question is now up to common council, and the public is Intently awaiting its action. In other words, becoming a Fecond class city is going to tangle things up, nobody knows how badly, but, like the measles, it Is inevitable and the thing to do Is to look pleasant. Pay for Dewey and Otis. IX SKNDINO to the henate with Ills eiidors-einent a recommenda tion from Secretary Hay that piovlslon be made for the pay ment of $10,000 each to Admiral Dewey and fieneral Otis for forvlces as neni beis of tliu Ill Kt Philippine commis sion, this sum having been paid to cavil nt the civilian members, the president has acted In a manner con sistent with lalrness; and has shown that It Admiral Dewey took offense nt the failure of the executive to pay him outright he did so without under standing the law In the case. Section 1,70a of the revised statutes of the United States reads: "So per son who holds an olllce, the salary or annual compensation attached to which amounts to the sum of $2,500, shall le cclve compensation for dlschaiglng the duties, of any other olllce, unless ex pressly authorised by law." Section 3.761 ot the revised statutes of the United States re-lnforccs the forego ing with the following piovlslon: "Xo nllowanco or 'compensation shall be madq for any extra service whatever which any ofllcer or cleik may lie re quired to perform, unless expies'sly au thorized by law." Special aihhority from congress Is thejefpre neeessaiy before extra pay can Je given to the admiral and the 'geneal for their extra woik at Manila; lint they both deserve It nnd should "haves It; and it Admiral Dewey has jibuied""the president for not violat ing tho laws ubovo quoted, ho should be man enough to step over to tho .white house nod apologize. It Is reported that the opponents In congress of a fair price for at mor plate iirq In the majority and Intend to hold .up 'the completion ot our new navy. It Is to be hoped that their constltu cnts will hold them up Instead. The War Taxes. TWO REASONS ore advanced by tho Republican leaders . nt.'Washlngton why It would not be advisable at this sca nsion ot congress to open tho question "of reducing the war taxes. One Ih that ,Jf a movement were" mado to take oft orfto reduce any particular tax, every other Inisrest affected by emergency taxation,, Tvould clamor nnd fight for lollefJand In.the bylcLtlnio nvananio "lf.ui) early. adjournment Is to bo taken no. Item could receive adequate atten tion'.' -Tho- other Ja that a complete state- ment nf the actual cost of the various governments In our new colonial de pendencies, showing the proportion borne by local taxation or out ot In sular revenues and the proportion illicit has to ho met by draft on the federal treasury, together with careful estimates for the future on these points, Is belntr prepared under the auspices of the treasury department, und until It Is submitted to nonnress the leaders consider It wise not to re duce our ability to meet easily any unexpected expenses. The statement will not bo completed in time for sub mission to cotiBress nt the present ses sion. Hy next winter it Is believed that the military nnd civil problems urlslnij out of the war will have been mas tered sufllclently by our authorities to enable them to estimate with reason able accuracy what revenues will be necessary In future to run our national government on a basis of Intelligent economy and elllclency. Then If the present taxes are too high, they can be lowered understanding!'. The war taxes have produced about 20 per cent, more revenue than was originally ex pected; but on the other hand, the expenses have been larger than were expected, notably so In the Philippines. A little patience nnd the whole mat ter will bo adjusted satisfactorily. Wc do not accept the title of as phalt oigan ptoposed for us by the organ of the brick paving Interests. Hut as for the condition of ithc as phalted street, to which our contem porary refers, the city under the torms of Its repair contract has full power to compel faithful compliance or to shut off the pay. If the city is incompe tent to enforce a contract It would cer tainly be Incompetent to manage a repair plant of Its own. The Harrisburg Convention. UK SUGOKSTION of Charles Omory Smith for the vlce- JL. pi resldcntlal nomination de fies criticism. As a man he is ubovo question. As a Republican candidate for the vice-presidency the suggestion of his name has not evoked tho shadow of antagonism from any source. As man nnd candidate ho stands peerless among his political contemporaries. The first Intimation is yet to be heard that he does not fully, completely nnd pre-eminently meet every demand for availability. Is this nomination expedient from tho politician's standpoint? "What name has been mentioned that will give a feather's weight more to the national ticket? "What name has been men tioned that will provoke less friction or suggest the possibility of less oppo sition? What name can be mentioned that will best harmonize all differences in the party arising from local, fac tional or sectional conditions? "What state is more 'entitled to this honor than the commonwealth of Pennsylva nia'.' What state has won greater achievement in the marvelous evolu tion of the country's industrial de velopment? Where on-our political or physical map can "be found a state whose people, in war or in peace, meas ure up to a higher standard of private, virtue and public morals than the God fearing, sturdy, patriotic people of this great commonwealth? , To what state and to what people does the Republi can party look more steadily for its highest inspiration to duty? Other great Republican states waver in their allegiance to the party. Other great Republican communities shame lessly subordinate party success to petty dissensions and small factional disputes. Xew York Is a certain Re publican state only In presidential yeais, when Its great financial and commercial Interests are Imperiled by the success ot the opposition ticket. Hut despite Its local frictions and fac tional disagreements, Pennsylvania never falters, never weakens, Is never doubtful in its Imptegnable allegiance ;to Republican principles. The selection of Mr. Smith as the vlce-presldentlal candidate might not add another vote to McKlnley's quarter million major ity In our commonwealth next Novem ber, but it would deljglrt nnd enthuse our people, nnd mayhap harmonize contlletlns: opinions In state and local politics. Tho Tribune earnestly submits thli view of the mattci to the Harrlbburrr convention. If the sixty-four delegates It sends to the Philadelphia convention are instructed next week to urge the nomination of Charles Emory Smith for the vice-presidency, It Is the deliberate opinion of The Tribune that he will be nominated. Unless the Insurgent papers about the state succeed In shelving Mr. Grow the venerable statesman seems In no danger of being forced out of politics this season. An Object Lesson. COOH GRIT Is what the Uitln race lacks and what the American race possesses, nnd this fact explains in a sen tence T7hy it will be a long time before Cuba will 1)t qualified for the kind ot Independence -which tho United States, as Cuba's International Indorser, must insist upon before It will bo Justified in withdrawing its guiding and re straining hand. Which thought Is sue gested by the following Incident re ported In tho Havana correspondence of tho New York Sun: The annulling ot the Illegal conceolon which gave a combination ol butchers such a monopoly" at the ilaughter-house that they could control the local meat market uas one of the hut offi cial act! of General Ludlow prior to his de parture from the island and was clone at the suggestion of Governor General Wood. The breaking up of the monopoly caused much in dignation among the butchers and they deter, ruined to have revenge on the city. last night Acting Mayor Kstra-Ja Mora in formed General Wood that the (laughter-house nien intended to make trouble at tho abattoir today, They planned to kill no cattle except under the original agreement to favorable to them and thus proposed practically to cut olt tho cltj'a meat supply. Senor Mora appealed to General Wood for assistance. He wanted an American omcer sent to the abattoir to prevent the threats from being cairlcd out, (Jcucul Wved laid that tho Issuo nai one for the local authorities to handle. He added, how ever, that he would bark Senor Mora up In any tiling the latter did. 'He adilsed him to take platoon of poliec to ..e abattoir and arrest any one who attempted to rreatc a disturbance, and to warn the butchers that 11 they did not kilt cattle today they would never line another chance. Senor Mci.t followed this adlce, ullli the re suit that only one man related to daughter. The others, as soon as they understood the situ atlon, weakened and obeyed Senor Mora's orders. Hereafter the recalcitrant butcher will not be permitted to kill cattle In the city. The break Ins up of the combination will result In a sub stantial reduction o( the prices of meats here. Under Hie operation of the combination the price ot the higher qualities; ot beet bad reached 0 cents a pound. The action of Senor Mora In this matter was quite charactcrUtlc. No sooner does trouble come or a new dllllcully In the situation arise, ccn though It Is entirely within the sphere of the chil authorities, than they run Immedi ately to the Americans prajing for assistance. This Incident vividly Illustrates the whole Cuban problem. The Cubans have to bo bossed; and If the boss bo not a clear-headed, well-balanced benevolent despot like General Wood, Incorruptible, Impartial nnd fearless, he will be a duplicate ot 'he South American type of dictator who ends his brief career In n blaze of Incen diarism or assassination. American control supplies the Wood kind; but which kind would Cuban Independ ence supply? Krupp armor plate, with which It Is proposed to sheath our new battle ships, costs Russia $363, England $587, France $603 and Japan $700 a ton, yet the pending naval appropriation bill Is fought by an element In congress because It allows for tho purchase of Krupp minor, duly approved by government experts, for $343 a ton. Tho opponents ot this Item want the United States to build Its own armor plate factory, which will cost $5,000,000, and delay tho completion ot our battle ships at least eight years, and which. at that, piobably would not result in meeting the cost of the same grade ot armor plate made by private enter prise. In order to carry this point they are willing to hold up naval de velopment Indefinitely. They should be sat upon. The Washington Star notes as a curious coincident' that the anti-Imperialists who say we hav'Q no business In the Philippines and ought to get out as quickly ns possible, leaving the Fili pino cut-throats to carve each other to pieces at will and to execute all kinds of picturesque ferocity on the natives who have befriended our soldiers and our Hag, are among the foremost in trying to entangle the United States In the South African war, concerning which tho American people have no direct interest whatever. "Is the presi dent," it pertinently asks, "to be con demned for carrying on war in self defense In the Philippines, and for not taking a hand in one in South Africa?" The point raised by our contemporary Is well taken. A contributor to the Truth proposes that our city fathers purchase the old Indian orchard, convert It Into a park for the benefit of the people of Pine Hrook and Park Place, and then put the Holllster collection tn this park as an illustration of Its historic endow ments. The Idea Is ingenious and at tractive. Rut in the meantime, let us not forget that the Holllster collection Is for sale, that outsiders want It and are negotiating for it and may get it If somebody In Scranton doesn't hurry up. Let us catch our hare before we begin to worry over what we shall da with It. From all reports the Ameilcan ele ment at the Paris exposition is among the most conspicuous In the ranks ot the sight ceers. France may be relied upon as America's friend so long as the exposition and our cash last. The men who advance theories as to the real Incentive for Admiral Dewey's decision to become a candidate for piesldent seem to experience difficulty In holding their audiences. At the piesent growth In numbers the election boards bid fair to require considerable time to count tho local candidates ns well as the votes. The remarks of ex-Governor Altgcld at Albany indicate that ho has a much better knowledge of Mr. Bryan than of Thomas Jefferson. The Spanish minister at Washington will doubtless agree that there is pos itively no limit to Chicago hospitality. m WILL BE REMEMBERED. From Saturday r.vening Tost. In 1S97 our exports to Cuba, Puerto Itlco, Ha waii Islands, Philippine Islands and Samoan Isl ands were !fl0,9i2,30j, and our imports were $.17, 1)19,510. Last )car our exports were $11,581,031 and our imports were $00,175,005. This year the figures will be even larger. Senator Ilevcridgc in his speech on the Philippines made this my significant statement: "Manila, as a port of call and exchange, will, in the time ot men now living, far surpass Liverpool." His prophecy will be remembered, THE DAY OF PEACE. What of the daj-, my brother 1 What of the day of peace? When the dripping sword turns the green sward And the dull, dread noises ccate The clarion call of bugles, The shriek of the angry shell What of the light that shall pierce the night Of battle ia it well? What of the dead, my brother? What of the dead and dumb? ho shall pay at the Judgment Day When the Messenger shall ccuic, Come in the light and glory, Come in tho lire end flame, Whose the stain of the blood and psln, My brother whose the blame? What of Hie grief, my.brolUr, What oi the grief Olid woe? What of the tears shed o'er thtse biers 'iheso stricken hearts brought low? Low in the day ot terror, Low In the night o( gloom, Whose the weight of this tunc of Hate? Whose the Vain ot Doom? What ot the blood, my brother? What ol the blood that flow In a cilmson stream where the lances gleam And the buglo blows and blows? Whose the souls that shudJ.r, bhudder and ktart and cry, When the battles' cost by God engrossed In blood on the brazen sky? Hasten the day, my brother, Hasten the day ol peace. When men not slain for greed ol gain And the dull, dread noise cc-asct When shell shall shriek no lunger, When Hatred slink away, The breath ot God the blood stained cod Make clean and I'cacc shall stay! . ' ' Disuurck Tribune. CZAR OF nil Europe today looks with Interest toward Russia and the Czar, as the attitude of t'-at country seems on all slJcs to have a warlike meaning. Those In a position to know say that war with Japan Is not Impossible, and the attitude of Russia towards England- recently has also aroused grave apprehensions In some quarters. NEED OF A LARGER NAVY. From a Speech by Conircssmin Fuss Introducing t lie Natal Appropriation 11111. After explaining the x.iriom Hems In the bill Mr. Toss said: "Wc are building a tuy for peace; wc are building It not to proioke war, hut to consertc international concord; wc are building It In order tint the nation may take warning that if Amerk.ni honor Is assailed American valor will defend. Tliat nation which Is armed and ready lo fight Is the least likely to be called upon to do so. The best peaic con ference is a strong and efficient nay. Sea power is reeognired the world otcr as the strength of a great nation. Wc are building a nity In main tain our foreign policy; to defend the Monroe doctrine and to guard the proposed Nicaragua Wnil. "While protection to oursehes was the watch word of the past century, common c will be tqe watchword of the coming. We will not only con tinue to build our own ships of American mate rial, fashioned by American bands, but at the same time wc will build as vu hate been build ing recently, ships for Japan and Itussla, and in time, by reason of the decreased supply of Iron and slcel In other countries, we xtill lie building the naxlri of England, of Kranrc, of Germany and the other great imal power. Men will not embark in commercial enterprises bejond the seas unless they know that their own coun try has the ability to protect them in every port and harbor In the world, and when an American merchantman goes to foreign ports she will go there backed, if necevs.irj, by an American manof-war to see to it that she has the rights ami prhileges of the most favored nations. The American navy will thus play an important part in securing our commercial su premacy." The American battleship would also play, he said, a not inconsiderable part in the citillzation of the Filipinos. "The American school ma'am, with her spelling-book, may enlighten the rnlnd," be said, "the American missionary with bis 1111,1c may soften the heart; the commercial traveler may teach them the laws of trade, but they recognize no virtues unless accompanied by force, and tho American battleship anchored in the harbor of Manila will do more than anj thing cNe to teach them lhat llbeity is not license, but that true liheity is liberty under law, re spect for order and levcrcnce for Justice." COUNCILS AND THE LIBRARY. From the Scranton Truth. The lucid statement of the rights and responsi bilities of the Albright Memorial library tiustees made by the president of the board, Hon. Aided Hand, deserves a careful reading. It demon strates most emphatically that the trustees can not divide their important trust, or any pait of it, with the city councils, and that the recent councilnianlc resolution contemplates an unw.ii rantablc Invasion of the library lnanigcment which cannot be tolerated tor one moment. 'Ihe plan and scope of the Albright Memorial building and the Scranton Free Public Library are clearly defined, and they do not contemplate .my Inter ference with the woik of those who are entrusted with carrying forward the beneficent design of this useful and admirable institution. If the councils will devote their attention to their prop er duties, and bestow their Ugilanco wlicre It rightfully belong", they will find plenty to do, and plenty of appreciation for doing it. Their conduct of municipal affairs does not, however, Justify the expectation that they could improve in any degree upon the management of the free public library, which is at present In the hands of competent, intelligent and conscientious men. DON'T BE TOO SURE. Trom the Philadelphia Record. The Pennsylvania Republican newspapers which arc advocating the selection of a Pennsylvania for the tail of the Republican national ticket are undoubtedly foredoomed to disappointment, though they deserve success if only for the en ergy and persistence they have chsplajcd in the cllort to give prominence to their state.
