The Second Class City Problem.
EI.StfU'llKUK nppoars the Unit
of a .sorlcs of lettcts from a
Ml aft correspondent detailed
to report upon the municipal
coiiilltlniis uf Pittsburg ard Allegheny,
lth n ypppil view to chpddlnc; IIrIiL
iinnn tfu second class pily problem.
The. let l ex Hketehes brlelly tho politi
cal HpppeN ol the muiilplpnl situation
In the lufn cities of Allegheny county,
sh.iwinc- how to those in powen the
exlstluu charter Is Idonl. vvhoipas to
thixsp nut nf power It N pernicious. No
doubt a dutnsv in lactlons would sim
ply c.-uie I, tntnsposltlon of opinions,
coirpspondinc; with the altered points
Of View. -'
I'pon one point we think the best
opinion will ngipo. and that Is that,
mi far ,is Scranton is roneernod, a cen
tralization of power in the hands fif
one man. elective by the people, and
thtiF directly responsible to them, is
preferable to a diffusion of power
fimonq a ldi-fje number of councilmen.
f'ould this be effected without sacri
tlee of file udvantURus of tho present
s-eeond class city charter; In other
voids could the heads of departments
contemplated in the Fllnn charter be
uripointlvo by the mayor instead of
elective bv eotmrlls, a chanse from
the tliitd to the second class would be
viewed with Kreater satisfaction by
-the thinking: people of Seranton.
In tlie twelve southern states which
ate Democratic always and as a mat
ter of course, the vote for Bryan last
month was 225,000 less than four years
rtffo, The South evidently wants to
break up and can't.
Congress.
THK SHOKT session of con
gress to be convened today
will have less than seventy
working; days, assuming
that it shall utilize till its time, a
ililncr congress seldom does. That is
otdin.irily not more than enough time
in which to enact tlr reRUlar appro
priation bills and transact the rou
tine business.
There are pending, however, some
Impoitant measures of general legis
lation which the country wants to be
iicted upon. The reorganization of the
army is imperative. The ship subsidy
and Nicaragua canal bills ought to be
passed and the question of reappor
tionment, with reduction of represen
tation where disfranchisement is en
forced, has back of It the force of a
constitutional mandate, deduction of
war taxes Is desirable, if not essential,
and legislation to correct the inequali
ties and unfairness of the present,
bankruptc.x law Is necessary if not
positively urgent. A iiiiifk of second
ary but important legislation Is also
waiting for iccognltion and to keep the
Hack cleared only for emergency busi
ness will require careful management.
t'onservallve Influences must pre
vail if the session is to do its work
pi opet ly. With election n er, there
will be c. tendency to crowd forward
till kinds of plans to tap the ticasury,
Watch dogs must guard every dollar.

IIW LAST issue of the Ihi
I ciiicciing News piesents an
J, extended review of the trans
isthuilau canal project, which
takes for granted that the canal wilt
be built; that the Nicaragua route will
be chosen, that at least a 30. font depth
of channel will be punided for, at a
cost of approximately $120,000,000, and
Mint the United States will build, con
trol and own the canal and Its shore
margins, without reference to past
"concessions' or uncompleted specu
la five deals. "
'JTlie onl remaining obstacle, there
fore, to tho undertaking of tho enter
prise by the government Is," snys the
Nejws. "tho existing t.iayton-Uulwer
treaty with Uuglaud, under which the
tvvh nations ugVeed, nearly a half cen
Uu'y ago, that neither would undertake
H ihln, wjnul aoioss Nicaragua without
admitting the other to an equal part
nership In the enterprise. Unquestion
ably this treaty should bo formally ad.
rotated before tho United States pro
feeds with this work, Men of honor
and honesty do not deliberately Ignore
the terms of 'a verbal contract, to sv
nothing of a" written one, and those
wiijo do are amenable to law, Surely
the! nation should pursue no loss honest
ana honorable a course, and should
commit no breach of International law
and custom."
As to the actual prosecution of the
engineering features of tho work the
News recommends that Instead of cotn
inltln'efthe task wholly to tho hands of
the, already overburdened secretary of
war, and to tho red tape restricted
army corps of engineers, congress dele
gute It to a commission. On this sub
ject It says:

Tlte counsel of this representative
Journal of the engineering nrofesslon
upon n mibjecl within Its province is
entitled to consideration,
The present legislative system tiffets
lioottllrtf complications to thu student
of Pennsylvania politics. The fact is
that no provision exists for filling any
vacancies which may occur from this
time until January. Tho terms of tho
members of the hint legislature ex
pired on Sntttrday. Tho speaker of the
house must make the call for special
election to fill vacancies. Ah then li
now no speaker of the house, no elec
tion can be ordered and the vacancy
or vacancies ' III remain until nfler
thf nrganlznllbu of the legislature.
The death of Hcpresentatlvu Stewart,
of Philadelphia, thus makes the ma
jority 127, instead of l'JS, votes neces
sary to elect a United States senator
at tho coming legislative session. Mr.
Stewart's successor will doubtless bo
elected In February.
The Wrong Remedy.
A PROPOSITION to nmend Ufa
school law so as to bring to
I Pitchers greater security of
' employment Is before the
legislative committee of I.uzerne coun
ty teachers for Its approval. In a let
ter to Professor ShM, superintendent
of the Plttston schools and member
of that committee, a teacher now Pin
ployed In Ilnzletou presents the fol
lowing arguments In favor of the pro
position: v
"In almost every other business, oc
cupation, or profession, the most ex
perienced and talented receive the pa
tronage with a fair remuneration for
same, but in the teachers' profession
how often do we ecc the vciy best
teachers set aside to make loom for
relatives of directors, with no exper
ience and little scholarship? In fact,
this has gone so far that hi many dis
tricts an application is not considered
unless a sum of money (fiom n.
month's "alary upwards) Is pledged.
Teachers must either submit or leave
the profession, while others 'yield and
work for a mere pittance. The same
story comes not only from different
parts of our county, but also from
other parts of the state. Positions are
bought and sold lll'e articles of, mer
chandise, to lite highest bidder.
"Tho nbjet of the increased appio
piiutlon was to lengthen the term and
Increase salary, but in many places, It
has done neither. X could point to dis
tricts where, in addition to state aid,
both a school and a bulldlnu- tax is
levied as high as allowed by law.
Salaries have apparently been raised,
which has brought many able appli
cants to the district, only to be turned
away because Inferior ones wore will
ing to pay the price, and the people's
money went into the bottomless pock
'ets of politicians serving on school
boaids, which has left the teachers
with lower salaries than before. I
could point to an excellent teacher,
whose salary is $35 per mouth, and
who pays a director $2," per month for
board about double tlie usual price,
compelled to do so or lose her posi
tion. As the profession becomes more
crowded this dishonorable business be
comes more successful. Politicians
and those who have no Interest in edu
cation, but who wotk for the almighty
dollar, are elected directors. A 'piem
lnm is put on dishonesty, which drives
our best teachers into other employ
ment, and thus leaves the instruction
of the boys and girls in the hands
of those whose moral standingMs at a
discount. Jt compels the teacher, after
yeats of preparation and expoilenco,
to w;oik for nlmost nothing.
"What is the lemedy? T believe
nothing but legislation can abolish tho
evil. More severe laws against bribery
will be of no use since we cannot en
foi ce those we have. Put suppose an
act were passed abolishing the annual
appointment of teachers by directors,
and making the teacher's term 'of of
fice permanent after live years of
satisfactory seivice, the oxpeilenced
teacher would not need to resort to
bribery and tho young us-pliant would
romo In where vacancies occur by
those leaving the profession. Not only
would such an act give a more stable
tenure of oll'.ce to tho iiest teachers
but it would also aid in tho election of
better directors. Prejudice, deadlocks,
bribery, with all their train of evll,
would be driven from our sehooCsys
tpin. So long as tho appointment of
teachers Is wholly In tho hands of
directors, just so long will It bu Im
possible to place the money levied for
school purposes where It pioperly be
longs," That the foiegolng Is not an over
statement of existing evils In ninny
locnlltb's will bo geneially conceded by
the well-informed. Its weakness is
In the suggested remedy, Discretion in
tho hiring and In the letentlon of
teachers must be vested somewhere,
and no better place for It can bo
found than tho school board. The, per
manent tenure theory is wholly uu-busness-llke
since It would have no
room for discrimination between tho.-,o
worthy and those unworthy of reten
tion. Tho proper placo to stiiko.at Is the
personnel of tho school boaul. Tho
public school system stands high In
tho esteem oven of citizens otherwise
indlt'feient, The people inlly quickly
vo Its protection and .support. Show
them that It Is being unused, how and
by whom, anil they will do tho test,
The trouble now Is that teacheis who
best know just what Is going: on In

The pxplatmtlon made by the Into
Senator Davis of his supccs In pub
lie life la Instructive. He was a law
yer with a largo general practice,
which fully occupied his time riming
the business hours of the day, and
wanting something to do at home
evMilngp, he took up tho study of In
ternational law. For years he pur
sued this past line attentively until ho
became tho foremost American au
thority on the subject. Thus, when
public oflicii came to, him, he was
ready. This Is the era of the special
ist. The man who does not try to
master some particular branch of
knowledge Is "likely to lemttln all his
life commonplace and obscure.
Thu southern apologists for negio
disfranchisement assert that the black
man must lose his vote because, as
found In the south, he Is Ignorant and
does not know how to uso It. This,
willt individual exceptions, Is general
ly conceded, Dut It Is also true of
many couthorn whites. 'What af
fronts the country's conscience is the
drawing of an arbitrary color dis
tinction. . ' -
Notwithstanding the presence of a
war tax of 5.2 on each barrel ot "6
millons, the consumption of boor In
thu United States last year Increased
pearly 3,000,000 barrels over that of the
year preceding, or about 8 per cent.
There does not appear to be an over
whelming necessity for the repeal of
this tax.
The tenltory In the United States
that offers inducements to the pro
fessional Por.ulist Is growing more
limited each year.

To whiil about their email Alcyone.
