and the dliector of public wotk to
ptepaie an aecuiate list of all the
Ktic-ctsa whit h have been aiceptcd bv

covery that the ilt.v has accepted a
number of by-was In yeais past by
spending city money in Impiovlng
them. This (opeiales as a formal ac
leptance. he said, and as a result theie
hic many tlioroilghfaics In the city
which should never have been stieets
but vvhli h are lecognlzed under the

The city has been out huge slims In

MATTRR OK UK.NS.
Thi'ie was a lung general discussion
over the iiostlon of paving and sewer
liens and the i.uelessness which has
pievailed In the past In allowing them
to lapse without lenewlng them. In
this lonnocllon the iuetloti of pav
inu; and sewer estimates was consld
eied and It s-eemed to be the gelieial
opinion tb.it as now made by the city
engineer they aie too low. Thu dliec
tor of public wotks was dliected to
notlt lln city engineer to make these
estimates a little higher in the futuie
so thai the city will not have to make
up any ilelMt whlih might be caused
b.v the lapsing of a lien or a detective
lien or home other untoiseen clicuin
stance It was uuanlniouslv dec IiIpiI to place
the sllboidln.ite ileiks n the sevei.lt

corder Connell appointed Dliector of
Public Safety Woimser and City
Tieasuier Robinson as a committee lo
piep.ue a list of all clerks whom they
believe should be placed under bonds
and the amount for each.
Dhectoi Woimser uiged that when
the city hall Is ip-ilnlslu-il and ie-palnt-ed
that he be given a linger olllce as
his pieseut quartets are entirely too
i lamped for his use. Dliector of Pub
lic; Woiks Roche was directed to call
In fSulk'li'R Inspector Riowu and pie
pare plans for a le-ariangenient of
the nlllces.
It seemed to be the gennial concen
sus of opinion that the school board
should v hi ate the two looms which It
Is now oiiuppliig on the second lloor

o'clock .estetday afternoon, with
about forty delegates presjnt, and the
pavilion thionged' with mala nnl fe
male devotees of the Piohlhltlon cause.
Cimhman R. O, Morgun, of the county

ily, and Rev. C. n. Henry, of Taylor,
opened the meeting with prayer. Rev.
Henry wnsi elected chairman of tho
convention, nral H. K. Altemosc chosen
heciotaiy.
The first business befoie the conven
tion wn? the nomination of the county
oilleers. Colonel Hitchcock was nomi
nated by Attorney W. W. Lathi ope,
and H. O. Morgain put the name of
Attorney Bradbury before the conven
tion. Mr. Knteiy nominated Mr. Mit
chell Attorney Lathropc then Intro
duced the following set of resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted,
TH HRiKSOLUTIONS.
The rrohibltlonlsts of Lackawanna
lounty ate still In the Held and still on
the tiring line. We Invite the co-operation
of all patriotic citizens, nnd we
present two urgent reasons for the ac
ceptance of this Invitation:
Klrst Out s Is the only party that Is
waging war against the minims liquor
tialllc, nn enemy that Is desolating our
homes, debauching our young men,
lending our young women Into lives of
shame, making wives worse off than
widows and chlldien woise. off than
oiphans, conuptlng society and pio-
mnting poverty, vice and crime.
Second The two old paitles ate
hopelessly coiriipt. Theie Is no le
deinptlon from machine politics in
either of them. The only hope for clean
politics lies In a third pnity. No party
can be clean that Is continued by the
liquor Intel ests. The dominant party
In our state, aided by a Democratic'
faction, has made Pennsylvania a hiss
ing and a bv-word thioughout the na
tion. No other state In the l'nlon has
been so dlsgiaeed by vicious legisla
tion, btlbeiy nnd fraudulent elections.
The Infamous "ripper bill" has estab
lished a petty tyranny in thiee cities
of the state, Including Scranton Our
own county is simply intten, so far as
its politics aie concerned. Republicans
nnd Democrats alike admit that we
have neither a fair vote nor an honest
count, and that candidates, as a nile,
are nominated and elected not on their
merits, not by argument nnd pel suas
ion, not on account of their paity ser
vices, but by the unlimited and coirupt
use of money.
Wo commend our last national con
gress for its patriotism and good sense
In passing the anti-canteen law. It Is
a c heeilng sign when a majority In
both senate and house ptove them
selves to be Independent of the lordly
brewers and deaf to the silly nigument
that an nimy saloon promotes temper
ance, In other winds, that the wns to
kepp our soldleis from chinking Is to
put the diink before them.
In i ommon with all good citizens we
deplote nnd denounce the leieut clas
taidly attempt upon the life of Presi
dent Mi Kinley, which now seems llkelj
to result In his death. We favor dias
tlc legislation to suppiess nuaichistn
nnd an amendment to the federal con
stitution that shall make It high
tienson to attempt to kill our chief e
ecutlve.
