It is per hip htcuu-c yuv men cannot agree amon? ttuiinrlvc-, while bid nun ore hold together by the coholvc poui'i ot public plunder. There serni, Indi-'il, a perpetual war between purUni and iotniiii.li sense; between the poaslbla and the lirpo'-il If In retoiiu; and thlccs, and thusrs. and all manner ot knaves take advantage ot this ami dcihe iieat prolit. Ill the leading marts of trade in-ii .ne too tilled with their o.vn eon- ems to be alwnjs on tlie watch. Morality is over a volunicci relouner. Virtue U but an amateur. The piofcsvlon.il politician, by what ever paity mme be ralle himself, N u regular, lie never sleep. He neur neglects bis business, l'rom the big beAs to the little crook the dis cipline Is perfect, the drilling contant. It may een bo doubted ivhether the great moral up heavals which we sometimes hop In cities like Vew York ami Chicago have not In the long run none as much barm as (rood, became in cery Instance t'-ey bae been followed by tho spec tailc of c'lUMon or Imapadly, or both, anions tho refnrnieia; the coniuent dUgtisl ot the pub lio, and Ihe return to power of the old set, Lurgrier and more defimt than cer. Thete docw not reem to be justifica tion for blaming; tho poor results In American municipal government on universal HiitTinRC. If thieves, thugs and knaven poll majority votes at municipal primaries or elections be cause tho Idealist type of citizen Is Killing to submit to that kind of gov ernment or Is too lazy or too cowardly or too stupid to tukc practical steps to overcome It. then by all the rules of falincps that Is exactly tho kind of government hu ought to have. To re strict the suffrage with a view to put ting more power Into the hands of "gcod citizens" who make a practice "f neglecting what power they already have would simply aggravate the evil, tiot remedy It. When looked at practically, the prob lem of "coming good city government not perfect government nor go em inent that will suit -.-very man who fclts In a co.y tetrem and imagines things which ate vain, but substantial and fairly elllclont governmnt is by no means compl"c. All that !s required li a little commingling of tnetgy with common feu.-'e. The nnenlnery for Retting Ifi'Od "ovintneiit already ex ists, ft Itn't psvfoct. of cotuv-e, but It will woik vi'iyucll If properly handled. "When theie Is a waid primary to name a party candidate for councilman, It In very clear that the practical thing to do Is to get it clean man Into tho field as a candidate and unite upon him the strength of those citizens of his party who want that kind of a man to represent them in councils. The political generalship which can not accomplish that small local result would be powerless to effect the dilll eult revolution toward non-partlsan-shlj) in municipal affairs. Thcro must be a party organization to bring und hold men Into line and the only reason party organization sometimes sustains bad men in office Is because the voters back of that organization nre wllllng to let tho less desirable fraction of the party membership have contiol of the ptlmarles and through them gain com mand over the organization. Not only should good men be advo cated and practically supported for local offices, but they should also bo Instructed. Mitch ns we think of Presl dejij; McKlnley we don't let him have his Town way about everything. The pally "that nominated him also adopted a platform and that platform wub ac cepted by him with pledge to do his utmost within constitutional limits to secure Its enactment Into legislation. Tho members of congress elected to mako tho laws of tho nation were also committed to certain broad platform principles and few of them are un manly enough to forget their obliga tions. Yet when party government Is applied to tho government of a munici pality tho platform disappears and men a reelected or defeated for city otllco on "personal grounds almost entirely, producing Irresponsibility. Nobody now contends that this or thut party Is to blame when this or that councilman votes unwisely on a pending measure or when tho mayor approves an ob- noxious or vetoes a worthy ordinance. Tho. consequenco la that city govern ment "reflects only tho weaknesses of party government by being shorn of Its elements of strength. Every man who runs for mayor, or councilman, or school controller, or al derman, or assessor, or controller, or 1treaBurer or any other elective city of- t flco ought to bo pledged by his con stituents, beforo election, to a certain platform of principles and policies re lating directly to city affairs The convention nominating the candidates on the general city ticket should form ulate and adopt this platform and evory candldato for ward ofllco belong ing to tho snmo party should be held bound by It. Failure to live up to platform promises should be punlshod In tho same manner In city affairs that It Is In the national field, and It should be made the concern of the whole party that tho platform pledged Is not broken and party defeat there by Invited. All this cun be effected speedily by simply exercising tho ma chinery which already exists, without undertaking tho difficult task of creat ing u new machinery nlong the lines of partisan non-partlsanshlp. It fol lows naturally tho familiar political processes to which men aro habituated and which, every year, they excrclso one or more times In regard to their county, Htatc nnd nation. It does not pursue the unpromising course of en deavoring to reconstruct tho customs and tendencies of the majority. In tho city of Scranton, ns In all other cities, thcro are a number ot local Issues that mean dollars und cents to the taxpayers. The candldato for city office ought to say whether he Is In favor of giving away valuable public franchises or of surrounding their operation by conditions protec tive of public Interests; whether he Is In favor of systematic street cleaning under lump appropriations or fritter ing tho people's money away In waste ful ward apportionments; whether ho favors a pcrmunent paid or a combina tion of paid and volunteer fire depart ment conducted on a hit or miss plan; whether he Is favorable to cutting ap propriations to fit tho revenues or Is willing to let debt and taxes pile up In a devll-takc-you fashion, leaving to the future the Job of straightening out tho tangle; nnd whether In a score or more of particulars not now necessary to enumerate he Is for buslncss-llkc or for shuffling and wasteful methods. Besides these clearly defined Issues, na to which the party platform maker would not dare to take the off-side, there arc always present In municipal affairs questions of policy concerning which there Is room for honest, dif ference of opinion. These should be made the subject of platform expres sions, and a discussion of them In the public press nnd in public meetings invited. This Is not done at present becauso the old era of corporatlon-rldden and boodle-dominated municipal politics rendered It both impossible and gro tesque. So long as one or two men at the head ot this or that great corpora tion could by ways not contemplated In law and certainly not sanctioned In morals pull tho strings which would enact or defeat city legislation at will, now enriching a favorite with a fran chise worth thousands of dollars, for which the city got nothing In return, or anon suppressing tho manhood which dared to protest, discussion of any form was useless and ironical. But latterly, thanks to Mr. Sturges and the Municipal league, there is tho dawn of brighter possibilities and this article alms to show how they can most easily be realized. The number of places! In this city In which crimes like the stabbing of the ex-puglllst Davis nro generated by reason of tho combination of Intem perance with unrestrained lechery Is a blot upon Scranton which mu3t bo wiped out. The Alain Question. B Y REFERRING to the census committee, to awnlt resur rection, the Olmsted resolu tion calling for information concerning the various schemes of dis franchisement now in operation In cer tain southern states, the Republican leaders In congrcs oppoEcd to the agi tation of this subject have scored what Is pionounced to bo a well planned victory. As the Washington correspondent ot the Now York Trlb uno puts It: 1'arllanicnUry etiquette and sound policy were thus equally fcatUfled, for by the tourteims ne oRtilred In the bouse the committee on which an investigation of such importance is to be thrmt Mturally cvpicts to be allowid to draw- the au thorizing ifsuli.tlon after Us own fashion, while, as the debate dearly showed, no appoilioiimeut bill could possibly bo pjtcd by this congress If the two houses should be compelled to wait for the Information dennnded In Mr. Olm.ted's reso. lullon. It Is probable that the census commit tee will accede to the general demand on the Republican fcldo that nn inquiry into the dis franchisement schemes in vogue in the south be undertaken. Hut any legislation It may recom mend imohlns reductions In representation for lolatinn of the fourteenth anundment will have to be left tor another session and another con gress. "The debate on the resolution was," we aro told, "marked liy exceeding; frankness. Some of the southern mem bers declared that tho attempt to en franchise tho negro had been a la mentable failure, and the notion of certain stutes in eliminating tho blacks as factors at tho polls, they said, was In tho Interest of civilization and pro gross." And doubtless many northern ers agreed with them. Rut still tho Constitution of tho United States contains nn Imperative mandate to congress to do the very thing which It Is endeavoring not to do. Is tho Constitution to becomo a dead letter? The registered vote In Louisiana, amounting not long ago to 210,000, has by various disfranchising processes been cut down until now tho claim Is made that not to exceed 40,000 citizens will bo permitted to voto in 1902, In other words, ono voto In Louisiana will soon be as effective as six votes In Pennsylvania. Does the Republican party lack the courage to protest? Abrogating a Treaty. THE RECENTLY enacted sen ate amendments to the Ilny Pauncefote canal treaty are now on Hie in tho British foreign office but no hint has yet es caped as to England's purpose respect ing them. Probabilities favor accept ance, but should England talto the oth er course, It Is Interesting to consider in what manner tho abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty could be ef fected. Most treaties contain a clause au thorizing either contracting nation to end the agreement by notice duly served but this clause does not appear In the Clayton-Bulwer instrument. In 1871 nt a conferenco In London of plen ipotentiaries representing Germany, Austria, Great Britain, France, Italy, Russia nnd Turkey a declaration was ratified affirming It to bo nn "essential principle of tho law of nations that no power can liberate Itself from tho en gagements of a treaty, nor modify tho stipulations thereof, unless with tho consent of tho contracting powcrB by means of! nn amicable settlement." To tho conferenco at which this declara tion was proclaimed the United States was not a party nor has It ever been nsked to give adherence to the ptlncl plo thus 30t forth, Yet tho prlnclplo is so manifestly fair and Just that It may well stand, Thcro Is only one Instnnco on record of tho United States abrogating a treaty. That was In 179S when, In exasperation over French ag gressions tipon our commerce, com mitted in defiance ot treaty rights, congress by Joint resolution declared all ttcatles with France nt an end. TI1I3 situation almost culminated In war. It offers no parallel to the pres ent one. Wharton's digest of international law, which Is the accepted authority In this country, says that a treaty may be modified or abrogated under tho following circumstances; AVhcn tho parties mutually consent; when tho continuance Is conditioned upon terms which no longer exist; when either party refuses to perform a material stipulation; when all tho material stipulations have been performed; when a party having the option elects to withdraw; when performance be comes physically or morally impossi ble, nnd when a state of things which was the basis of tho treaty, and ono of Its tacit conditions, no longer exists. Those who favor abrogation of tho Clayton-Bulwcr treaty in case England declines to nccept tho amended Ilay rauncefote treaty specify the estab lishment of a British colony In Hon duras as a direct violation by Great Britain of the former convention suf ficient to release tho United States from any further observance of it. Hut their case Is weakened by tho fact that recent American secretaries of state and likewise both tho present secretary and president and also the senate have recognized the Clayton Bulwer document as still binding. Should England reject tho senate amendments tho only honorable re course will bo to negotiate a ner treaty. The cowboy threat to burst the existing covenant by sheer force Is beneath contempt. The Boer war to date has cost Eng land C01 officers and 11,G5 men or less than a third of the death loss occa sioned by each of a number of single battles in the American Civil war. In spite of the continual growth In effi ciency of death-dealing Instruments, tho carnage of war appears to be steadily decreasing. Growing Commerce on fh? Great Lakes Washington, Jan. 6. Till: COMMCUCU ef the Great Lakes for the closing year of the century teems likely to rhow a larger tonnage moemcnt tlian In any preceding year. The figures Just com. pleted by tho treasury bureau ot stallkllcs and which coicr the cntiio naigatlon season tip to December 1 are esecially lntjretlng as demon strating the rclatUc- importance of the principal ports as handlers of the water-borne commerce of the Inland seas. o Chkaco remains well In the lead as a leeching port for hard coal, a total of G73,091 tons hating been unloaded on her docks. Milwaukee ranka second with receipts ot 4TCDW tons, and then come South Chicago and Dulntli. In the neigh boihood cf two-thirds of the hard coal piovcd was sent from IlufTalo, the shipments from that port aggregating 1,203,727 ton. Die, Pa., ths only other shipping port of any prominence, has bad during the scaum a moiemcnt ot 4SS,"3 tens. Tho water transportation of soft coal pre Bents radically different conditions. West Supe I lor h at tho head of the lUt ot receiving ports wllli a record of 1,270,183 tons. Milwaukee comes second with 720,014 ton?, and Duluth is a close third. o lly reason of the rait competition invoHed, the moument of flour by water presents some Inter ellng featuies. There hate been transported by lake earrleis during the navigation season up to December 1 a total of l,177,SOO tons ot flour. The lit a lest shipments hae been from Duluth, which rnt out Cot, 1 10 tons, ami from her sister port, West Superior, with a total of 325!0 tons. Of the entire i-hlpment of Hour, PJO.703 tona were unloaded at Uulfalo.

" THE WORLD o j j jj jt ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO TODAY"..... tCoryrlght, 1X0, by R. K. Hujhes, Louis ille.J TI1EODOSIA BURR, only daughter ot Aaron Burr, a brilliant and lilglily-accompllihcd woman, was married to Jo3cyh Alston, afterward governor of South Carolina. Flic was passionately fond of her father, and her faith in him remained unshaken through all the mis fortunes which be brought upon himself. Burr's scheme to become emreror of Mexico was known by her and her husband, and It was even planned that her eon, the only Rsue of the marriage of this date, would bo heir apparent to the throne. During her father's trial for treason at Rich mond, Va., the appeared in court, and her beauty and graces were not without effect in securing a favorable verdict. Upon Burr's return from voluntary exile, Jlra. Alston left Charleston on the pilot boat Patriot for New York to ee him, but a storm off Capo Hattcraa probably cap sized the boat, as she was never heard from again. Playfalr's investigations of the claims made by Celsius, to whom was due the invention of the ccntrigrade scale, that the waters of botli the Baltic Sea and tho North fael were gradually sub aiding, duo to the transportation agency of rhera and of tec, led to the startling discovery that the land was rising rather than tho water reced ing. Subsequent study of this phenomenon re caled tho fact that the elevation of the whole of Norway, from the North Cape to tho Naze, had taken placo within a comparathely recent period. This elcvatory action did not occur equally over the whole area, varjlng from 200 feet at come points to GOO feet at other. One of the famous cases of somatization came to light.
