In tcply In our rsttepineU ft lend, Hew
Dr. Method, Tim Tribune mo.st cer
tainly will fiiMir recomntlttltiR the
Vaughnu bill to cilvt. lt opponents a
chance to bo lieaiel. That Is no more
limn fair, since they linve a little lute,
lo be sure asked for the opportunity
to cxptesH themselves befote the Intv
milking body. We hope the legisla
ture, early next week, will recommit
nnd grant a lu-urltiK. Then, the next
lime a- matter of this kind cnms tip,
tte hope that Dr. Alcl.oixl, among
ollieis, will ascend to the watch tower
and keep u sentinel's vigilant eye open
so as to sound the alarm early enough
to avoid a second mlx-up.
The Sensible View.
IF TIIKm-: Is any doubt as to the
power of councils to Ilx salaries
for the heads of the new execu
tive departments after the re
eoider has made his appointments,
then the teorg.inlzallon ordinance
should be passed ptumptly. This city
c.innot afford to pay tho maximum .sal
aries hpecltied In the new charter.
With other expent-es now In sight. It
would mean bankiuptey.
in anv event, this ordlnnnie should
be passed without delay, as a matter
of eoiniiinn fulrnctK. The Denioeratlo
hold-up In (oiumou council Is a case of
playing small politics at the expense
of laige lnletest". The attempt to dp.
feat n p'lld Hie dep.n tmeut. aiouiid
Willi h the hold-up i evolves. If Micues"
fill will mean a cost of fioni SSn.oco to
Jinii.nnn a year to the ptopotty Inteiesis
of Seranton In extia lire insuiance
preniluiii.s alone, to say nothing of tli
hazard to piiipert.N not covered by in
surance. With an eillcluil paid de
partment ptoviiled fur. this extia pie
nmiin cliotge, wo have little doubt,
would piomptly be removed.
Hut If .in agreement uiiiuia be
leached on this point bcfoie Apill I.
let It go over ror later determination
and let the other neiesi-lties of tli
city, dltectly Incidental to the Insinua
tion of the new chatter, he provided
for In advance. This is the common
t-eii.sp view. It will be haid enough
to get the new machinery to wotk at
bust. If obstacles ate to he deliberate
ly manufactuted In common council,
heaven help us.
A special meeting: of common coun
cil ought to be called on Monday night
and any Democrat falling to attend
should be marked for discipline as a
shirker of in gent duty. It Is vital
that reorganization should be piovlil
cd for forthwith. Falling that, let
the responsibility be fixed.
Of course England will not hazard a
war with llussia. Nor will rtuxsla te
redo. The czar longeie this has taken
Great Britain's measure.
It Must Be Faced.
Till: TIM1-: Is fast appio.iLhlng
when public opinion in this
city must prepare to show
in some clear manner
whether It appiovcs of the tin owing of
Moncs and calling of vile names by
stiikets and their sympathizers at men
or women excrciMng their constitu
tional freedom in accepting offered em
ployment which others have voluntari
ly abandoned; or whether It sustains
the old fashioned notions about law
and order.
It has been taught for man eMis hi
the law-books that the light of a man
to work and to be protected while at
wotk Is just as sucred as ids light to
unit wotk. Hut leeently theie has
come. Into effect In many localities, our
own especially, a new doetthie which,
In Its substance. Is that the man or
woman who tindei takes to eain a liv
ing In a manner not In ace out with the
wishes of Mime particular labor union
or group of labor leaden Is fair piey
for abuse, assault and Indignity.
In the midst of talk concerning the
tyranny of capital oer labor, atten
tion Is being mote and moie directed
to the fact that no mote ei uel tyranny
has ever existed upon the American
continent than Is to be seen In the te
em ling hatshnesfi of labor to labor.
Where two years ago In our valley all
was peace and tranquility, theie la to
day a, turmoil f bitterness and ttutest;
and almost dally there are icpnrts of
vlnWnco In nine form, put forth as a
means of Intimidating- into continued
Idleness tlion who wanl to wotk and
whose necessities demand that thsy
shall woil;.
In uvcty dltectloii sttlKes and tlw
thteut of stilkes abound. III!hIiu--h, in
stead of having opportunity to ptoceed
piosperously on a peaceful basis, Is
tendered hesitant and Htful. New en
terpilse Is stilled. A lingo percentage
of the wotklng population, formetly
earning steady wages, Is at war with
Us employeiH and Is living lipou sav
ing's, donations or credit. Dlbcord, 'tui
certainty, fear N In (he nlr: nnd this
roniiltlnn will continue Just hi lung as
the 'espouslbli,' VHtfccnshlp of Sci'ttntoii
pei mils Itself to he srared Into con
cealing Its real opinions on this mutter.
Sooner or later thli nii",tlon must
bu faced, and bolter soon than late,
oliiul liny do'-s not pi opine lo
spend hc own and his father's salary
any longer In maintaining the dignity
of his position as representative of
I'nele (-'inn's Interests at Pretoria, HI
decMon to relinquish the ttmt sscmx

l-xclsc Commissions.
GI1I1AT ADD N being made In
the Insurgent itinera over
the Muehlbtonuer bill to
tnke the ginntlng of liquor
llennes away ftolti the Judges In coun
ties with moie than 500,000 and less
than I.W'ii.OOu population and to vest It
In a board or live commlisloneis, ap
pointive by the governor. The bill np
piles In its ptesent foim only to Alia
gin ny county, but the Instil gent papets
suspect the Quayltert of Intending at
the propel time lo i educe the mini
mum population to 100,000, so as to
Include lleil.s, Dauphin, Lackawanna,
Lancaster, l.uzeine and Montgomery
counties. As the bill stands, the live
commls-dunciH would receive f',000 a
eat aplec" for a term of live yeats;
a sum linger than the salary ot the
Judges, who now attend to license
question and do a large amount of
(iltlicult work beside. Befote the ad
vocates of such a nieasute could hope
to have It applied to the smaller coun
ties named, thete would evidently
have to be a readjustment of salaries.
We huvi nlwnvs believed that the
handling ot license questions by the
court was ut'Judlolal and liable, In spite
of all precautions, to Involve tho Judi
cial ollli e moie deeply 111 partisan poll
ties of not always the best type than
was deshable or necssaiy. .Excise
commissions have been tiled In a
number of slates with fair uverage
success. Like evetylhlng else, much
depends upon the man. In the hands
of an uptight governor, using his ap
pointive power Judiciously, the experi
ment .should, under tranquil condi
tions, wotk out advantageously, but,
on the other hand, If piostltuted to tin
wirthy factional ot petsonal ends. It
should quite as cettalnly ptovoke torn
p'alnt. How It should be In this case,
In the disunited state of political feel
ing iisultlng from six or seven years ot
bitter factlorallsm, Is problematical,
The chances ate, however, that the ex
pel Iment will not coon be tiled. We
Icel satisfied that the Insurgents are
ft, king.
Patient people who aie obliged to
fac the gin to of the lowered stteet
lamps aie beginning to wonder when
the obnoxious lights aie aguln lo be
placed In pioper position.
Odell Is It.
AN INTi:i!i:STINCi stoiy from
lfhlnd the scenes Is told In
tlie New York conespond-
ciice ot the Philadelphia
Pi ess concerning Cloxemor Odell's re
fusal to take humiliating oj-ders from
Senator Plan's, son Frank.
Accoidlng lo this veisloti, Frank
Piatt and Lemuel Mil qulgg undertook
In Ifhalf of some ot the largf ccupoiu
tlons to secure ,c modtllcaUon of the
franchise ta law passed during Col
onel Hoosevelt's occupancy of the New
Yotk governorship The went sonit -what
overboldly to Uoveiuor Odell
with a demand for help. He turned
them down. To revenge themselves
they tilled Senator Piatt's ears with
bad adlie on the police bill with
a view to humiliating Udell and woiked
upon the senator until flnully he
adopted their suggestions. Here again
Odell's backbone came Into play and
today It Is an open question in Kmplie
.state political elides whether the
whole Plait dynasty Is not tottering to
a rail. Plait must yield or light. If
be yields, he Is gone. It he fights, his
antagonist will have the advantage of
youth, public sentiment, powerful In
dependent suppoit and a knowledge of
organization politics better, even, than
Piatt's, because In late years Odell
lather tliun Piatt has been the ma
chine. Piatt Is old and hioken in health. He
has the personal sympathy of many.
Odell Is not the kind of a man lo light
a benefacioi oi liiend save In self
defense. A peac e may be patched up
which In public appearance will be
genuine. Hut back of it all will stand
the dominant peisonallty of the gover
nor, who, while keeping every agree
ment and trying haul to be patient,
has refused at the ctlsls to be dictated
to, thieatened or lmlldozed. He will
glow in power as Piatt shall decline
and he Is alread.v "It" In Umpire state
polltlci.
It begins to look as though the ser
vice? of tip. mun who deliveied the
message to duiclu would be neeessaty
to locate Mi. ,f. Pleipont Mcugan.
Water Waste.
AS SIIOWlNtl the modem
tendency tow aid water
waste. It B noted that in
New Yoik city the appaient
ue of water Is I in gallons a day for
each Inhabitant, of which 7,1 gallons
Is waste. Allowing ten gallons for un
avoidable waste, that Is, waste which
human Ingenuity cannot stop, hete i-,
u net tulpahle waste of more than 100
per cent. In London the dally con
sumption for domestic pinpoyen is only
".0 gallons a head, with 30 to tu tier
fcent. of waste: In Llvvipool and Mnn-
cheslcr only 2n gallons and in lilr
liilnghaui only 1 1. Hut In then Eng
lish cities, with the exception of Lop.
don, the conduits and mains aro kept
waior-tluht and theie Is ilghi tmper
vlslon of plumbing which goes so far
that eveiy Inch of pipe and every
faucet or othetyllxtute must be u.sam
Ined, tested and stamped by official en
gllleeis. Hvety American illy. Suiantoii
notabl). Is beginning to feel the pinch
of necessaiy restilctlons against the
uutuially lne,ie,iHlng tendency to waatu
water. In Philadelphia, a proposition Is
up to spend W.OOO.cOO fop motets to
put In pilvnlo houses. In Ncnv Yoik
the p.tpeis ate full of demands fur a
stilcttr eciutliiy and better tepalr of
leaky mains. The simple fact Is that
the multiplication of waste In the large
cities, taken In connection with the
extinction of foiests In the large water
sheds, which Is making continually
mote dllllcult and expensive the ptob
Ipiii of wnter stoiage, Is compelling the
Intel position of safeguards and checks,
the gilm nltet native being thn In
descilbable hottois of a water famine,
Iteptesetttatlve Scheuer Is to be com
plimented upon his success In getting
out of committee the bill lo reduce
tho inn inutile tux one-half. It will
