SCHANTON', .TANUAIlY S, 1901.
'l'hi? ptompt action oC the select
rounrll the otlicr tilRht In adopting a
resolution introduced liy Mr. Viuighan,
Jlrectliiff Mm Klcctrlo LIrM company
to i.ilfo thf! street lump" to their for
mer position, Is Rcnornlly commended.
The motive that prompted the lighting
company to Incur nn cxpennu that at
iilitht transforms n blesalnp Into iv
ntilHitncp Is dllllcult to determine.
When the llRhts mo tiRaln elevated,
however, probably all will bo able to
li"ttor appreciate them In consequence
of the unnnylnK experiment.
Basis of n City Charter.
IT 1H NOT always possible in this
world of uncertainties and
trouble to pet what you want:
but If It were, how would a
charter built on the following lines do
for Scranton:
An eloctlie mayor, treasurer and
controller, the mayor to have veto
power save when overridden by a two
thirds majority In council; to appoint
mid be responsible for every executive
officer In connection with the city gov
ernment; and to be eligible to ie-eleo
tlon?
A single council of twenty-eight
members, one for each ward and seven
elective nt large, no ward to have more
than two members?
A city solicitor elective by popular
vote for a term of Ave years?
One collector of all current taxes
and one collector of delinquent taxes?
Police magistiates to tho number of
one for every 20,000 or major fraction
of population, to be appointive by the
president Judge for ten year periods,
to have Jurisdiction over the great
mafcs of trivial litigation now thrown
Into court and to serve on a fixed sal
ary? Council empowered to collect from
holders of municipal franchises a spe
cial tax not exceeding five mills on the
dollar of their gross receipts or busi
ness? Property divided Into three classes:
city, suburban and rural, the first pay
ing full rate, the second two-thirds of
the full rate and tho third one-half of
the full rate, provided, that a prop
erty of the third class shall, after ten
years, advance to tho second class?
Board of city assessors to be com
posed of five men, salaried at $2,500 for
chief asseysor and $1,500 for four as
sistant assessors; no ward ussesors;
complete re-assessment compulsory
trlennlally, and power given assessors
to rcvlbc the assessment in whole or
in part at any time?
At least 35 per cent, of gross reve
nues of. the city to be expended for
permanent Improvements?
Hoth trunk and lateral sewers to be
built at the expense of tho city from
a fund created by a special sower tax
on all property not connected with a
sewer?
Tlia announcement that an Ameri
can syndicate is to provide a summer
steamer service on the Thames, coupled
with the fact that another American
company has already secured conces
sions for n trolley service in London,
lias given the British press a chill. It
wants steps to be taken to checkmate
this gtowing Yankee invasion. The
only remedy Is to underbid it and that
Is what the Britishers ate apparently
unable to do.
The Scranton Railway Company.
AS WILL BI3 seen In an adver
tisement printed In another
place, tho Scranton Hallway
company gives notice of tho
discontinuance of all free transoorta
tlou and transfers to connecting lines.
These changes aro said to have been
necessitated by the recent advance In
t wages granted to motormen and con
. ductors: and It is asserted to be a fact
; that the employes of the road will rn
'. 0?jy whatever benefit may result to
thV company from the change.
; To tho abolition of free tickets there
' cannot be serious objection. Tho word
"five" in such a connection Is a m!s-
nomer, inasmuch as no public service
corporation Is operated on philan
thropic lines, but expects to got some
thing In return for everything It gives.
Frco tickets to newspapers mean reci
"proclty In advertising. Tho substitu
tion of cash payments will be regarded
as preferablo by every publisher. Freo
tickets to councllmen and persona In
fluenzal In local politics mean reel-procliy-
In legislation or In political in
fluence,, ami this generally is at the
public's expense, so that its suspension
will bo a gain for public morals. Freo
tickets for policemen and other public
servants mean a cheap way of recog
nizing "the heavy Indebtedness of tho
forapafiy to the municipality for the
many favors It has enjoyed; and a
bettor -way would be to Impose eault
ttble taxation and out of this reventio
to allow enough to every city ductal
to enable him to pay his way.
But the abolition of transfers i a
morei serious matter. Not only don it
Invite cancellation of numerous fmn
chltcs granted upon oxpress condition
that trai&fcra would bo allowed, but
K also opens the whole broad quest'
of the moral obligations of tho street
mllwn:' company to tho community In
which It operates by virtue of publlo
acquiescence ns represented In ordin
ance) enactments. For years there has
been marked popular patience with tho
wvntchedly poor equipment and service
of lhl company under tho belief that
time would work out substantial bet
tennent. The absurd conditions rep
resented In Its preposterous over-cap
ltiili-ntlon wero recognized by many
a3 only In part blamablo upon tho
present proprietary Interests, being
mow largely duo to pust publlo apathy
with respect to councils.
Vet the stoppage of transfers and
the evident Intent to enforco the doub
ling of cash receipts under cover of a
small advance to employes amounting
all told to probably less per year than
one-fiftieth of tho sum rumored to
have been cleaned up by tho Clarks in
their first consolidation enterprise In
thlu city, to say nothing of subsequent
stock expansions, Is calculated to bring
th! long-sufferlng patience of tho peo
ple to an abrupt halt and to enforce
by imperious public demand a com
pleie and final understanding with this
alien Institution which has assumed
monopoly and mastery of tho public
conveniences of 200,000 people.
There are several practical wnys to
establish the people's rights In these
premises. One Is to levy Just taxa
tion upon the street railway company.
An ordinance taxing gross receipts
was recently stranded in councils, bv
methods now under Investigation. This '
should be rovlved and passed as orlgl- i
nally proposed. A 5 per cent, tax on I
gross receipts would net tho city, at I
tho present ratio of business, np- '
proximately $25,000 a year and no man
mmillar with the valuation placed by
the company upon the privileges it
has received will contend that tht3 tax
would be unfair. Allowlng$l,000.000 of
capitalization as fairly representing
and covering everything of tangible
value, connected with the concern In
tho way of cars, tracks, power houses
and other equipment, It would take
200 years for the community to get
back through a $23,000 annual tax the
equivalent of the company's valuation
upon what the community has given.
There nre other ways Immediately at
hnnd. Paving conditions should uo
more carefully scrutinized. Tho police
power to prevent overcrowding and en
force a better sanitary condition of
cars should be exercised. The whole
subject of franchise conditions and
limitations should bo subjected to re
view by legal experts with the object
in view of seeing whether tho railway
company is fulfilling nil its contract
conditions. And most" Important of all,
public opinion should put pressure to
beat upon the mayor and councils to
insure the rigid and scrupulous safe-
guarding of every public right. As for
the future, let posterity prollt by
Scranton's present sad example.
The second Inauguration of Presi
dent McKinley will not be graced by
tho presence of the Blaine club, of
Cincinnati. Tho Blaine organization
of Ohio had chartered two trains for
the occasion, with numerous acces
sories, but the committee failed to se
cure appropriate quarters for tho
members at the national capital. Tho
patriots of the Blaine club do not pro
pose to sleep In barns and skating
rinks or dine at frankfort sausage
lunch wagons, hence their change of
mind.
The Philosophic View.
iL LTHOUOH aggressively op-
posed to Quay, tho Phlla-
XJL delphla Ledger has evidently
cut loose from tho Insurgent
literary syndicate which has for many
months supplied most of tho Philadel
phia paper3 with identical political
"news" constructed for tho evident
purpose of misinforming tho people.
Both editorially nnd In its npws col
umns it now recognizes tho practical
certainty of Colonel Quay's election to
the senate; and In a long review of the
situation in Its Issue of yesterday It
proceeds with true philosophy to ex
tract -what comfort It can.
For one thing it credits Quay and
the Quay leaders with recognition of
the necessity for pursuing a course In
the legislature calculated "to commend
Itself to tho r.mk and file of the Re
publican voters and to allay, to some
extent, tho feeling of opposition to tho
machine." It cites Colonel Quay's re
cent declarations In favor of ballot
and other reforms and while not satls
lled with the fate of tho Quay reform
programme enunciated in 1693 Is of
the opinion that political exigency this
tlmo may Impel a more vigorous ef
fort to secure legislative correction of
generally recognized abuses.
We have no doubt that Us view is
the correct one. Complete victory on
the part of the Republican organiza
tion will carry with It complete re
sponsibility as well ns power. This re
sponsibility will tend strongly to in
cline it to uso its Influence in favor of
substantial reforms. Since 1895 Its re
sponsibility has been divided and Its
energy has been monopolized In strat
egy and struggle for self-preservation.
With control now unchallenged, there
will be scant excuso for fullure to sat
isfy tho reasonable expectations of the
people and the strongest of Incentives
self-interest for overcoming reason
able criticisms and suspicions.
One century hence, according to Rob
ert 1'. Porter, the population of the
United States will exceea 300,000,000.
This estimate is based upon present
social conditions but an average post
ponement of marriage one year would,
Mr. Porter points out, reduce the pop.
ulatlon 1,000,000 every decade. Men
and maidens willing to avert such a
consequenco have now tho added in
ccntlve of patriotism to sustain them.
Lord Kitchener is to have an In
dian post as soon as the Boers havo
been subdued. It Is, perhaps, needless
to stato that ho has not yet packed
his trunk for tho Journey.
Last year's arrivals, at New York, of
trans-Atlantlo steamship cabin pas
sengers exceeded by 50,000 or nearly 70
per cent, the cabin nrrlvals of 1S98
Part of tho Increase is attributed to tho
exceptional volume of travel caused by
tho Paris exposition; but In large part
It measures the world's growing Inter
est In tho expanded United States.
Although tho closing year of" tho
nineteenth century was popularly sup
posed to register Important advances
In fire-proof building construction and
In tho efficiency of other precautions
ngnlintt fire, the flro losses In tho Uni
ted States and Canada amounted to
$163,300,000, nn Increase over those of
1S09 of more than 10 por cent. No won
der Insurance rates aro advancing.

BOGUS BEFOHMERS.
Hon. P. A. Philbln In the Archbald Citizen.
Much of the bitterly hostile opposition to Mr.
Quay that exists throughout the state is due to
the dishonesty of the Philadelphia newspapers.
Tor urtlstlo llng they cannot bo surpassed.
With one or two honoublo exceptions they all
exaggerated and distorted the most trifling de
tails of tho proceedings at llarrlsburg with tho
eldent intention of misleading tho people. All
through this crisis their course has been so
thoroughly reprehensible that one was forced
to tho conclusion tint the advertising contracts
of some of Mr. Qua) 'a enemies were unnecessar
ily important elements In the contest. That this
Is the view of those on tho ground was manl
iest in tho overpowering applause that greeted
Senator Washburn's allusion to the matter on
the floor of the house and In tho comcrratlon
of Dtmocrats uml others with whom the writer
talked during his stay In Ilarrlsburg.
There Is room for reform in tho Jiepublican
paity in 1'ennsj Ivaida but it ought not to come,
nnd it Is doubtful If it will 6tay If it does come,
when it is the result of such gross misrepre
sentation as wa apparent In the newspapers
during this struggle. Incidentally it may ba
stated that real reform cannot bo expected from
discredited politicians. Tills Is said without dis
paragement to many honest people In this state
that arc nlloulng themselves to bo poisoned by
the "Dead Sei fruit" offered to them by some
of the insurgent leaders.
