ili'Kivi', have not In the Ions run done

of our (iictiil's perplexity Is thus un-
fnldfil In the Courlor-Jouriial:

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

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.

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

and graces were not without effect in securing
a favorable verdict. Upon Burr's return from
