Attention is directed to tie careful
summary, printed elsewhere, of the
disclosures Of the Lexow senatorial
committee which has been investigst-
Ing police methods in the municipal
government of New York city. Spurred
to this inquiry By the fearless dsnun-
Citations OF DR.. Parkhurst, the commit
tee has gone in many instances 10
the very bottom Of the methods where.
by organized political dishonesty,

ptIetors Of Illicit places aud the wnolo
army Of their deienleats aud stip-
endilries whica, when added to the
Democratic party'S normal strength,
suffice to carry the municipal elections.
The fact that at Conservative esti-
mate $4,000 600 il annually wresLed

turned over into the pockets of Tam,

raigumsnt of the easy Indifference OF

True Democraey,

The genuineneas of our American
democracy, despite the rapid multipli
cation Of artificial social distinctions,
is we'll illustrated In an incident that
occurred recently in Montro5e. Ca
Sunday last there was burisd in that
borough Thomas Smith, veteran of
the ring and also of the camp. In h!s
early manhood he had been one OF the
most celebrated Of circus clowns; and
had brought innocent msrrlment and
glee to thousands of children, now be-
come staid men and matrons, in all
parts of the land. When the war time
came, he dropped paint and buffoonary
and shouldered loyal citizens mus
ket. fighting bravely in the ranks
along side learned professional men and
humble artisans, Through this bond
Of fellowship, forged amid deprivation
and danger, no leSs than because ce bis
own intrinsic worth as Il plain and un-
assuming citizen, il came about shat at
his bier, as pail bearers, there walked
one who is nov justice Of the supreme
court Of Pennsylvania, Judge J. d.
McCollum; and one who is the presl-
dent judge Ct SusQuehanua county,
Hoo. D. W, Searle, besides other citi-
zens nearly or equally eminent in other
secular pursuits
Such spectacle, it ia almost need
less to say, could be witnessed in al.
most no other country under the sun.
Jurists paying honest Difference to the
worth and brotherhood OF one who had
been only harlequin; surely here is a
contrast bringing into clear relief the
reality of the claim that In America,
where worth is equal, men are equal,
whatever may be their occupations or
wealth. The lesson of this incident, it
seens to u. cannot be emphasized too
strongly. At u time whom Ignorance
is turning steadily toward socialism,
when crime is galloping toward an-
archy and cunning schemers, through
hope Of gain, are tanning popular dis
content into dangerous fires of lawless.
ness and characterization, it ought to
exert wholesome influence to have
such an object Lesson in real citizenship
brought Prominently to the public's
attention.

The Wenders Of .Surgerv.

The wonderful progress made in sur
gerry during the past few years almost
eEceeds the dizzy flights of unbridled
imagination. Accounts are received
from various points daily of rtmarks-
h!e feais OF surgery that u decade ago
would have been considered impossi-
ble. H,sitancy which in the past has
caused many hIs to be sacrificed, Is
apparently unknown to tho surgeon of
today. One Of the marvellous illustra
tions Of the triumphs Of modern sur
garJ is given in tho case OK William
SDyder, Of Great Bend. Susquehanna
county.
Mr.. Snyder for long TINA has been
lMicted with an unnatural growth or
tumor in his head which destroyed the
sight Of one eye and also destroyed the
tense OF smell aud rendered the nose
lseless as breathing organ. A
catarrhal trouble accompanied the
other disease, and probably the entire
difficulty was the outcome Of that
terrible complaint.
In order to gain relief from the trou
bic Mr., Snyder ha1 undergone at tho
Manhattan hospital two operations of
a character that makes the statement
that he is still alive seem incredible.
at the first operation which was per-
formed some months ago the nose was
completely split open from the fore
head to the lip, 90 the two parts of that
organ could be laid back on the cheeks,
and an operation which was partially
successful was performed, a large
amount Of unnatural growth being re-.
moved. The nose was then placed
back and sewed up and in few
weeks only few marks showed that
90 wonderful an operation had been
performed
Mr. Snyder has recently had anoth or
experience at the same hospital and
this time the surgeons skill has been
mora fully tested. AT the last opera
tlon the eye was first removed, then
the bone back Of the eye, then the cheek
bone was removed and also the jaw
bone, teeth and all. The patient did
not eat any food for ten days and hov.
cred between life and death. Now he
takes nouri0hment and is gaining
strength and it Is believed will recover,
and If the deceased parts have been all
removed, as the surgeons designed they
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1894-06-15

For the authorities evsrywhsrs
there is the need of comprehendiug the
gravity Of these acts, and of resorting
to adequate measures for the enforcs-
mont Of order. The time for temper
izing with mobs that attack tue law
with the same viruleucs Us they boat
and abuse individuals Is past Pro-
ciamations commanding mobs to dis
perse are useiess-unless means are
taken to make rioters respect tho law.
Trying to maintain the law by scat
tered forces Of deputies Is only inviting
further defiance. A force muat be put
iuto the field that will overawe the
rioters, suppress tho anarchy and re-.
store peace to the land. The aliens
who have been crowding into the
United States during past years in
search of labor need to be instructed
that this country is ruled by civilized
law, Itmust be administered promptly
and sharply if the nation is TO be re-
deemed from the disgrace of being
ruled by the tyranny OF ignorant and
criminal moba" Otherwise, where
will it all end?

OF this veritable declaration Of inde.

the news of her prospective emanclpa-

motest town and hamlet Of America
will produce effects stupendous and sur
prising even In advance Of the compile
tion Of the iron bonds destined to soon
connect her with the worlds commerce

Now, indeed, have the people Of AS
torla right to feel encouraged. Now
have they the coveted chance to DEM
onstrate their possession Of the genius,
energy, and determination to place
their city in her rightful rank among
the sister cities of the Northwest. Her
rivals all admit the advantages Of her
location, now let them see that she has
the people necessary to the develop
ment Of her advantages, and Astoria
will unquestlonably become one Of the
greatest cities In the land.
While the names of such men as Bon

tlniea OF Astoria, may accomplish much
In attracting the attention OF capital
and brains Of the right sort to the city,
yet II must be remembered that II Is
upon those who are now, rather
than those who may hereafter become
her citizens, that the start upon the
road to prosperity and progress de-
ponds.
The task OF the committee Of twenty

tlsement should be at once devised and
put in operation. Let the organization
OF the committee be continued. and let

shown themselves capable Of doing by
undertaking the work of prOclalming
