ORDINARILY the Interference of councils In tho business operations of a public service corporation Is to bo deplored. U tends to establish a habit of inter ference both when there appeals to be sonic reason for It and when there Is none. It promotes a ropulIhte, nntl rorpoiatlon feeling In the community which too often falls to discriminate between honest and dishonest forms of corporate onterpilse and has as a ic sult tho dlscouiagement of capital to enlist In necessary now enterprise. Our city h at it point where this result Is especially to bo feared, land for that season It might bo prudent to suffer a little from misdirected coiporatlon en torprlho rather than to engago In a wild-eyed onslaught upon associated wealth that would iccoll disastrously upon ihe community. Hut it seems to us that llieie Is one direction In which council may have to Interfere at an early day as a mat ter of public piotectlon. As now ar langed, the schedules of tho rScrunton Hallway company result during por tions of tho day in an overcrowding of the testilctcd number of cars that is cilmlnally dangerous to safety and health. This has been noticeable to some degree for years ami complaint has been general, hut under tho latest adjustment or tho time table It Is as suming proportions which ate Intoler able On Saturday tho congested con dition of the cars on some ot tho lines would have warranted tho interposition of the police, jlcn and women resident in tho suburban districts weio kept uniting In tho central city in tsome cuws as long as an hour Ix'toro they could secure even standing room In tho outward-bound cars, and tho Jam in sjdo thoso ours amounted to a scandal, This hold up ot tho ordinary travel of people who uro In a measure de, pendrnt upon tho street car lines for conveyance, can be accounted for In no other way than us representing an economy of the railway management calculated to recover strike losses at tlio community's expense. Tho com munlty's remedy Is to enforce through councils an orderly and sanitary con dition of tho street car service. The company's aim Is to squeeze twice as many, flye-cent pieces out of a car as Its accommodations warrant. This can only be done by outraging ltd patrons. Buti councils have an unquestionable right to itx a limit to tho number of passengers admissible to a car, and to enforce such un Inspection of tho car's sanitary condition as shall mtrrtmlto Its powers of mischief as a breeder of ills ease, The scranton Railway company must be made to donl fairly with, the people of this community, Last year In -Indiana ono divorce was granted for every six marriages.

Tho thirty-eighth annual report ot the directors of tho Scranton poor dis trict, Just published, makes a credit ablo showing. Especially Interesting Is Superintendent Ilccmcr'a nummary of results, from which It appears that ex cluslvo of farm produce the a vertigo weekly malnotnanre cost of tho 471 averago dally number of Inmates at Hillside Home was $1.82 per capita. This cost compares favorably with that In many poor districts offering In ferior accommodations. The Board of Trade Banquet. FItOM EVERY standpoint tho board of trade is to bo con gratulated upon securing as the principal guests of honor at its annual banquet, to be held to night, the governor of the common wealth and one of Pennsylvania's elll olent representatives In the United States sennte. It is appropriate that the represen tative organization of Scranton's com mercial and Industrial Interests should Improve tho occasion ot Scranton's political expansion to cultivate a closer acaunlntanco with the actlvo forces in tho dominant political organization in tho government of the commonwealth. Too often have our business Interests withdrawn themselves from the circle of active politics and cultivated In their views of political matters a criti cal aloofness nolther Just to the lead ers of our state government nor in any sense profitable to the critics. The op portunity has appeared in virtue of Scranton's municipal promotion for Its leading citizens to assume un ad vanced position among tho factois In fluential In shaping the legislative af fairs and activities of the state and to neglect It would have been short sighted In the extreme. The usefulness of the board of trade during the 'years or Its manifold con tributions to tho upbuilding of our city has gained widespread recognition and constitutes a lecord of which nil Scrdntonlans are pioud. Hut a period has been enteied upon In tlio evolution of the city when Increased efficiency on larger planes of endeavor is both possible and necessary. Tho board ex hibits un Intelligent comprehension of Its expanding mission when It takes a noteworthy stride toward closer ac quaintance with the political leader ship In tho useendancy In tho state at large, and thus signalizes its inten tion to work for Scranton's betterment sagaciously and comprehensively. m . ., Editor Wattersori's call foe a Demo erattc unknown will probably cause he dark horses to kick their stalls to kindling wood In tho near future. Gardiner Vs. Harrison. THE NEWSPAPERS of th country are still re-echoing In praise of the thorough manner In which Charles A. Gardiner, esq., of the New York city bar, in a paper read before the New York liar association nt Albany on Jan. 1G, replied to and demolished tho contention of former President Har rison that the Constitution ot its own vigor ami In detailed completeness keeps up with the Aug. After showing along familiar lines that this contention oiiglnatcd In the fertile mind of John C. Calhoun, who Invented it in the Interest of slavery, and after proving by repeated cita tions from history that In no territory since the government's eaillest day has the Constitution obtained further man as decreed by congiess In the ex- erclse of its discretionary nower to deal ns it pleases with "territory and'Vmo f"lur,J' drawn chiefly fi-uin abroad; and, outer property or the United States," Mr. Gardiner developed a now line of thought of Incisive inteiest to tho In diana statesman and 'his admirers: What solution does Oeneral llarrl-on oftcr lor thee momentous problem? None whatcier. Ho criticises and denounces, but has no lemedy. If congiess can lulc with plenary power, he siys, it will be "un-American" frouininent. a "slate ol vassalage," "tjuniiy" will prevail, and it will be altogether 'Vhocl.lns"; Porto Jtlcain and Filipinos will be "laes"; the piinclplcs ol the Declaration will be abandoned; and our reiolu tlonaiy (allien, who fouaht "lor rights, not priv ilegeslor a constitution, not a letter of instruc tions," will he "elK'raccd In their descendants." Hut tuch lenid rhetoric adds nothing to a con. ftlttitiontl argument. Indian tenitory (or ninety fight jeais and Alaska for thirty-four tmc been unorganized territories. Tho constitution has not been opcratho therein, tiny had no local govern ment and tew Federal statutes. For (our jears President HjrrIon's administration ruled them directly fiom Washington-more absolutely than the present administration is ruling Porto Pico with Its local government, and the Philippines with the Taft commission. Were the Inhabitants o( Alaska and Indian territory "slaves?" Weie they in a "Mate o( vassa",g!" Was their govern, ment "un-American?" Did fieucral IlarrlMm fla grantly iolato the Declaration and merit the malediction ot our revolutionary fathers? Mr. Gardiner did not jest his case at this point. Ho relentlessly continued: Who was It that inaugurated our present insular ndextra-trrritoiial policy? Tfiat policy received its first practical nnd definite expression in the transmission to congress by Picsident Il.nrisoii on Feb. 13, 1693, of a treaty providing (or tho imine dlate annexation o( Hawaii. Ita then said: "The treaty does not attempt to deal in detail with the questions that grow out o the annexation. Tho rommliwloners representing tho Ha waiian government have consented to leavo to the lutuie and to tho Juit and benevolent pur poses ot the United Btatcs the adjustment ol all such questions. It it meets the approval of the senate, peace and good order will bo secured in the islauds under existing law until such time as congress ran provide by legislation a perman ent form of government for the islands." Gen eral Harrison is here confronted with a distressing dilemma. Was lie right in 1S9J or is ho right now? He urged congress to annex: Immediately, but only sub modo, as we have annexed Porto Rico and the Philippines, and then the operation ol the Constitution and Icderal statutes was to be suspended "until such time as congress can pro vide by legislation (or a permanent form of gov ernment." For a year after ratification, and pending congressional action, Hawaii was alto to retain tts separate tariff laws, and Its Chinese in habitants were (orrver excluded from Amcilean toil "as II entering from a (oreign country." The policy ol the present administration Is identical with that Initiated by Qcncral Harrison. Again, he uiged that all questions arising nut of annexation should be left "to the future and to the Just and benevolent purposes' of the UniieJ States." When President UcKlnley Issued his lr.. structlons for Ihe government ol the Philippine, he not only followed the Hawaiian precedent, lut Ocpted General Harrison's language he guaran teed the Filipinos "Just and benevolent gov ernment" according ta the principles and "pur petri rl the United States." And jet Gencial llsrrlton now seven years Idler bitterly attacks his owil policy. Meferrlng to Porto Hlcam cud I'liiplnri, ne say! "We offer them only this hl;hl)v consolatory thought) Seventy-six mlllirs id Iree Americans can be trusted to deal ewuevc. lent! with you.'' "The man whose prdojtlon Iron) wrong rests wholly upon Ihe benevolence of another roan or of a congress Is a slave." Our lathers "accounted that to bold these things (rights) upon the tenure ol another'! man benevo lence was not tn hold them at all." General Harrison makes his plea to Hie equity bar o the Amerlcau people, He has arraigned the. tdmtnis- Iratton, lit policy and practke. lie roust con foini to ciully rules He who would scrk equity mist do equity. Ho must show dean hands, tint h Is dlidurrcd lion court, londrinnrd out ot bis owi mouth. He Initiated the picsent linular pol hy, ho hurled Its phraseology, and of nil tnrn In public life, lie alone cannot now rise up to call it rrf uricd 1 Putting nsldo tho question of the re sponsibility for the Initiation of a colonial policy, Mr. Gardiner raised u second now point, nnd one of even greatur Importance than tho first. Re plying to Qoneial Hnulson's icmnrk that "thete questions will soon bo de cided by the Supremo court," he pro ceeded: That b Impossible. Tho Supreme coutt cannot and wilt not iKida Ihrmj nnd even it it at tempted to do so, its arlion would be revolu tionary and told. Can it mandatmu the pnsi dent? Csu it lenjoln the conmcs3? Can It rro. blblt this 80erclsti nation from eierrlslne Ua sovereignty ott (enquered territory? Unless it 0 ei rules Ihe pieccdeiita of a ctntury, and re pudlates a practice that baa prevailed tlnce Its foundation, tho couit will decide only problema ef a strictly judicial character, refuse to pass on thou of a political natuie and rclc39ti their further consideration to the political dips.it. nunta of tho Boveinment. It will thus settle few, If any, of the great problems dlscuesed bjf General Harrison, and now atdlatliitr the Amerl. ran public. Undoubtedly the court will follow tho construction of national power, first laid down by Chief Justice Marshall and uniformly adhered to lme, tint this is a sovereign nation and can annex teiritory absolutely or sub inodo, and upon any terms and conditions it plea. llain decided this much, It will logically fob low that It must dbmlss from further consUera. tlon tho propriety of tho particular terms of ai. relation, as matters within the cxcbiilve jurisdiction of tho piesldtnt and contrress. II anrexatlon be comtltutlonal nil appioprlale means of effecting It are constitutional, and to Inqulra into the necessity or wisdom of the means would be, ts Chief Juatlco Marshall eald, "to pass the line which clreuinscribr the Ju dklal department and to tread on loghbtUo ground. This court disclaims all pretensiona to such power" (4 Wheat, 4.'3). Othcrwl'C, as Juslico Miller explained, they could "annul declarations of war, nuspcnd the levy of armies, and become a gitat international arbiter instesd of a court of Justice for the administration ot laws of the United Statra" (I Wool)', 150). These Wcws were tiot presented to the court on behalf of the goitrnment. in the pending cases. I submit with deference that they should have been. They present tho only solution that pro vides a method (or delcrminlns pending Iwurs, and yet confines the Judicial and political dc paitinents within the functions assigned them by tlio Constitution. It will bo Interesting to note whether General Harilson will undertake to es cape from Mr. Gnrdlner's lasso. Remarkable Change in Decade's Trade Washington, Jan. M.

This statement Is remarkable as emanating from so Intelligent u man as Ihe eminent professor. If our school system lacks aught. It is more, not less, womanly influence injected into its methods, not only in school teaching, but In school govern ment. An cquat representation of men and women on our school boards; our school economy demands the mother clement In conjunction with tho fatherhood too preponderant at present in our local boards ol control. It is not clear upon what basis the professor arrives at Ids premise that men aro better pre pared lor teaching. Statistics show more gills than bojs graduated from our public schools. In Pennsylvania the proportion is two to one. The report ol the national commissioner ot education gives 3,301 males and 4,207 temalet who arc stu dents in pedagogy in co-educational institutions. In Pennsylianla normal schools the list ol gradu ates who intend to tcacli number DOT females and K17 males. Other states have about the same pro portion. Tho national government need (eel no cause to interfere to "compel stricter examinations." In the normal rrhool course of preparation, and in all examinations lor teachers, men and women applicants undergo tho same public test, and stand upon the fame educational plane. No nor mal issues differentiating certificates for male and female students. Too frequently young men enter the teaching profession as a means to an end, a stepping-stone financially, while preparing (or other vocations. Woman is tho natural educator; nun lacks the Instinctive knowledge of child-nature essential in the mental training of (ho joung. In primary giadcs, especially, men larely achieve success. The modern professor is out of place in the child garden, and teeks the domiln of the higher grades whero salaries loom In mis-placed proportion. Tho entrance of women into the profession has nol lessened Ihe Income of male teachers, Elnce there is no record of the latter having received greater average remuneration than now. In 1S03 tho average monthly pay (or male tenheis was $11.70; in 1S00 it has increased to $15.23. To the suggestion that the national government "compel school boards to maintain adequate sala ries" we are In hearty accord. And in the na tional government lies tho rcniSly. In school teaching, as in every other occupation, a disfran chised class Is helpless and a menace. Let tho ballot accompany the diploma, and the salaries of teachers, and all oilier wagc-earneis like equipped, will speedily rise to the high plane where skill and ability command recognition ir respective ol sex. Dr. N. C. SchaclTcr, superintendent of public Instruction of Penn-yltania (than whom there is no higher authority), displays much acumen and liberality in his report, which says: "The schools are largely taught by women, and, un fortunately, they are not as well paid for their work as men.

Now that the battle is over, and those opp-ised to Mr. Quay fought Just as hard and in just us questionable a manner (if there were questionable methods used) as did those who favored him, why raise the old Democratic cry of fraud and corruption? This is a very old chestnut with the Democrats, Never havo tho Republicans, won, even In "Little Wjomlng," that the same cry vvs.i not raised. Why should autl-Quay Republi cans raise It? When have the antl (July leaders tailed to icspond to the call lorjuoney to aid in the election ol one of their followers in tlio legislature? When lute they failed to back up a contest whero one o( their followers was con ctincd? Let us look at the mutter in Its tiuc 1'gbt. It Is not by any meant one-sided, and wo aro plain to say that methods resorted to by anti-Quay lollowers during the past jear, of which we havo personal knowledge, have been ditgustlnt, to us, and there aic others who have taken on the samo feeling. "Let hlni who Is without sin cast tho first stone." Tills applies as well to political "corruption" as to any other sin. When the anti-Quay leaders throw aside alt appearance ol corruption, then, and not until then, let them put (orth the cry of "(raud and corruption" and "misrepresentation" against tbclr mlghbois, who are just as good and faithful inemlxis ot the Republican paity, although they may be friendly to Senator M.

As long as it lasts good Republicans all over the stato will be defeated by Democrats, and every campaign will see bitter feeling and contention among those who ought to be standing together lor the com mon weal.
