The election of select councllmen onotliinl ut largo and two-thirds by districts Ii.ih not to our knowledffo bofti tiled In any city but In theory It stems to ho fair. Why not try It In IVtinHylvnnla'. This Would Suit Scranton. T1IH QUESTION of second flass charter levlslon en ter upon a now phase with the proposition, originating In I'lttsbtiig, to unite the cities and boroughs of Allegheny county Into one city, to be knoun as Greater Pittsburg. There Iw within rench of such a con solidation a population of at least 600. 00ft, or more than enough to constitute n city of the llrst class, governable as it Philadelphia. This, if effected, would leave Hcranton alone In second class glory and would doubtless In fluence the legislature to lot Bcranton have pretty much its own way In charter construction. The Dispatch of Pittsburg, a Journal independent of and somewhat Inclined to distrust both factions, is disposed to view in tho consolidation project a welcome escape from present compli cations. It says: "It is very difficult to frame a city government equally adapted to a city of a little over 100, 000 population, like Scranton, and oa of 350,000 population, as Pittsburg will be when the new charter goes Into ef fect. Add the fact that Pittsburg Is really the center of a community of nearly 700,000 people, and the propriety of advancing this city to the flr3t class, whore it belongs, and leaving Scran ton free to frame a second-class char ter, such as It needs, Is evident. Be yond this the bill will attract tho sup port of all who are In favor of havlnr; this community take Its proper rank among cities. Indeed, In view of talk of compromises, what better basis of compromise 'pould thero be than to give the community Its first-class chartor and to let the people of tho greater city elect tho now city government?" Should this hope materialize. It would bo most acceptable to Scranton. With duo respect to our fellow-cltlzens of Pittsburg and Allegheny. Scranton has some Ideas on the subject of city government which It regardH ns pret rrable to any that Is In evidence In tho government of either of tho west ern municipalities, with which Scran ton la now Involuntarily associated. One of these Ideas Is a lilting for homo rule. Another Is a favorable regard for economy. "Creator Pittsburg" sounds all right, but the city will not bo so much greater than Scranton In any event. Salaries or Fees Which ? AS IS CLEATILY set forth In tho opinion of tho court, read yes-- terday by Judge Archbald, Judge Edwards dlssenting.thQ whole question nt Issue In the contro versy as to whether the county officials elected .last November are to bo paid by fees or salaries hinges upon tho dato of the recent decennial census. The cnumeiatlon was completed In June, and tho population of Pennsyl vania by counties was announced Nov. 19 but the olllclal certification of tho census bureau to congress was not made until December of last year. "Which of theee three dates 1b the dato at which the courts of Pennsylvania T.-ould be Justified In holding that Lackawanna county olllclally entered the class of counties with 110,000 or moro population? If in June, the county otllclals elected in November go unquestionably upon a salary basis to the financial lellef of tho, tax-payers, who will save many thousands of dollars thereby. An net of congress expressly provides that In .til federal affairs tho date of the cen sus rhall be the date of tho enumera tion: in this caso tlvo months before tho election. Hut of course congress has no Jurisdiction In a purely domes tic and local concern of the common wealth of Pennsylvania and there Is no state statuto covering the point. Hcnco two of our Judges take the posi tion that the date of tho census, from tho standpoint of Pennsylvania law, was tho date of the official certification of its revised result, which was later than tho date of the last election and therefore obstructive to the immedl ate prevalence of the balary system! nnd the third Judge takes the position that the date fixed by congress, ths creator of the census, Is a suitable data for acceptanco In each of tho states more especially when no stato law pre vents and when the result Is a Bavins to tho taxpayers. And thero you are. H begins to look as though winter would have an old-fashioned finish af ter all. Tho Now York minister who took occasion to criticise the action of the mnyor of tho city In refusing to lower the official flag out of respect to the memory of Victoria mado a mlstaka In Imparting o much dignity to the ofO-ln The- mayor of New York Is so mill that lie can scarcely tin termed "an Incident" of the occasion. Now that the Taft commission hns notified the Filipino Insurgents that If they don't come In and bo good before April 1 next they can never hold offlco under tho American regime, a wall may bo expected from tho civil ecrvlco reformers nt this would-be swapping of patronnce for peace. Up to Congress. N O DOUBT it Is disconcerting to tho opponents of tho ad ministration's course In tho Philippines to learn from the authoritative repot t of tho Tatt commission a commission In which the great body of Americans repoBeo confidence that substantial progress Is being made despite difficult condi tions toward the pacification of tho Islands nnd toward tho preparation of u large number of tho nrchlpelago's In habitants for tho early Institution of civil government. Such a etnto of uftalrs Is not what they have been expecting nor what thoy want. It impairs their prestlgo as prophets of evil nnd plays havoa with their picturesque theories to tho effect that the irrational ambitions of would-be dictators of tho Agulnalda type, who nre savages veneered with a thin coating of shoddy civilization, should bo atlowed full scope to embroil in mad orgies of punishment and re venge those natives who havo accepted American sovereignty and staked their future upon the sanctity of American promises. Incidentally It defers .the realization of their dream of acquiring Influential oince through the successful fostering of political discontent ut home. IJut facts ate stubborn things. And It Is a fact that tho largo majority ot Intelligent Americans will accept the testimony of responsible commissioners selected from among tho cleanest and best of their number, corroborated as it la by that of thousands of discern ing men In all walks of life who have made independent personal Inquiry Into Philippine conditions and pros pects, in preference to tho back door gossip and ubiquitous rumor which ni ters through irresponsible private sources or In preferenco to the outgiv ings of paid emissaries of Agulnnldo or the revolutionary put poses ho Is supposed to represent. This being true, the problem Is up to congress The president has ex hausted his authority llu has em ployed the army to cope with forcible resistance to American sovereignty nnd h has named a civil commission to do what It can toward constructing a government pending the receipt of Instructions from the law-making branch. Mote than this cannot bo done, until congress hns spoken. It Is tlmo to do more and tho president, therefore, asks congress to say what. Lackawanna county will seek no portion of the river nnd harbor pie. though Lackawanna has a river. Leave It to the People. THE CONFERENCE system oi making nominations in dis tricts composed of two or more counties hns bej.i so prolific in deadlock and snand.il and has contributed so frequently to fac tional division and party defeat that the Republicans of Union county, xho, together with the Republicans of Sny der county, must soon select a nominee to succeed Judge II. M. McClure of the Seventeenth Judicial district, have, through their county committee, pro posed an interesting means of escape. It Is, In brief, that simultaneous pri maries shall bo held In both counties, at which candidates for tho Judicial i nomination shall submit their claims, and the one receiving tlie highest number of votes shall be declared the nominee without further parley. This Is eminently fair, both ns a gen eral proposition applicable In principle to nil Judicial, senatorial nnd con crebslonal districts in which tho oh solete conference system yet obtains, and also in its particular beating upon Judge McCIure's declared candidacy for a renomlnntlon. Ten ycats ago the Republicans of the Seventeenth dis trict had difficulty in socurlny nny Republican to hazard the nomination for Judse, circumstances then pointing to almost certain Republican defeat. In this emergency Mr. McCluro was In duced to offer himself for the position nnd to the surprise ot all but a few close friends and supporters his vigor ous but decorous personnl canvass te suited In his election. In ten years of service upon tho bench Judge McClure has established nn cnvlablo reputation for Judicial ability, impartiality and determination to impress better Ideas upon tho de tails of court administration. Upon a number of oceasluns ho lias ocuuplel a seat upon tho bench of Lackawanna county In fulfilment or temporary va cancies, and his caliber has well sus tained every test. A very largo pto portion of the bar of this county ara numbered umong his personnl friends and admirers and all will hope that he may receive the renomlnntlon and reelection to which by custom nnd de sert ho is clearly entitled. The proposition to make the city so llcltor elective by the people, which will to offered ns an amendment to the ripper bill, has tho merit of cnabllnj tho people to got the kind of legal ad vice on municipal matters that a ma jority of them are willing to vote Tor. It Is in line with the demand for dhect election of senators, direct primaries und other Immedlato appeals to the majority and will, If enacted, produce good or bad results as tho people shall themselves determine. Tho psoplo elect their Judges and district attor neys and upon the wholo seem to bo fairly Intelligent In their cholco of ma terials. On tho contrary, the governor, nnd not tho people, selects tho law ad viser of tho commonwealth, nnd the president exercises a similar preroga tive with regard to tho chief of the law department of the nation. It Is hard to say whether tho appointive or the electlvo systom produces the better results; honors appear to be even. Agttlnnldo says that ho will no lon ger trust Americans. It tho ManlU patriot Is referring to Democratic cleo tlnn prophets, he should certainly b9 excused for declining to make further wagers. Tho tendency toward conservatism among Cuba's constitution-builders in creases na tall; has to give place to work. Thero is nothing equal to re sponsibility us a check upon snorting.

" THE WORLD J jojo jt ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO TODAYI... ICopyrlu-ht, 1W0, by n. E. Hughes, Louis-vllle.) TUB COrtXElt STOKK of that Tery tottering atmetnre, Hindu chronology, was laid at the dawn of the nineteenth century. At this tlmo was published a copy of tin In scription ot King Plyadasl, styled "Tho ndoved of Cod," In India 230 II. O. It appeared In "Asiatic rtfMarche," by Mr Itlchard Cobb Itoarc, Encll.h antiquary, taken from a stone column, forty-two feet high, and known a the tat or pillar ot I'iroz Shah, a sultan, who about the middle of the fourteenth century convejed it to Delhi from a village In the hills about 230 miles distant, and re-erected it as an ornament to his capital. This Inscription was a subject of great curiosity and speculation, and baflled all attempts to decipher it. It was not until thirty seven years later that tho acute nafraclty of James Prlnep surmounted the dlitlculty. Tho mystery of the alphabet being thus penetrated the missing links of Hindu chronology wcra soon discovered. With all Its other initial strides toward th goal ot progrens this year marked the beginning of a period of religious toleration neither equaled nor arrroaehed In the history of any nation. Ths severer forms of persecution fell decidedly out of fahlon; the Jews being tho moat notable monument of the change. Their history for cen turies hive been full of blood and tears, they were despised and rejected, but now they began to be admitted to all the right of eltlrens In the most llourMilng nations. It was only In tho mot backward countrle that the reverse re mained true. This was the turning point in quarantine legis lation in England.
