JACK Rohinson,s Views.

Dashing Jack Robinson has accepted
the gauntlet thrown down in the pub-
Tic declaration Of David Marti1, the
Philadelphia leader. in behalf of Walt
er Lyon This is what he says: II
want to say, without any desire TO over
estimate or exaggerato the political cit
nation or to turn it in my favor, that
1 an perfectly we'll satisfied with the
outlook. / entered the contest with
the written and verbal assurance Of my
friend, Colonel Q1ay that, there would
be no interference on his part Il ia
also true that Colonel Qiay's son, Hon.
Dick Quay has been yerv active for
Walter Lyon. This activity upon his
part should be understood. Personally
and socially he and Senator Lyon have
been very Close for number of years.
While do not think it is very good
taste for Dick to bs active in behalf OF
any candidate. for the reason that his
movements and admissions are inter-
preted as the acts of his father, yet |
do not think that, so far, he has done
me very great amount OF harm.
Among Mr.. Quay's stanch friends
who are for mo thers is not ono who
has been influenced by the action Of
Dick They believe that Senator Quay
is absolutely to be relied on when he
once gives assurance of fair play and
an open field. "
Continuing. Mr.. Robinson remarks
"The situation Is just this. The Re
publican voters Of the state OF Penn.
sylvania do not think that Mr. Quay
has any preference as to who should bs

which pays So 600 for the privilege OF
pursuing its business in freedom from

that another corporation, ths Metro

The Telephone Problem.

A good many persons throughout the
country are beginning to feel that ii
the expiration OF the Bell Telephone
patents is to result general cheapon-
ing of the cost Of the public telephone
saIvice, some evidences Of this fact
ought to begin to appear. Some time
ago, as Wa then announced, agents OF u
Now York company visited Carbon
dale with the prospectus OF new tele'
phone system which promised tore
duce the rental Of phones to from 81. %
mp 10 $3 per month, the former figure
relating to phones used in residences
and ths latter being the maximum
rental of phones placed in apublic Of
flee or store. We have been unable to
learn the result of this visit but two
other facts that greet cur eye in the
news dispatches possess passing inter
est,
At Washington, this stare, the Cen
trai District and Printing Telegraph
company had heretofore possessed u
monopoly Of the telephone business.
It refused to offer lower rental than
$50 year. Several days ago num-
Der Of Washington capitalists organ
lied a company and obtained COM
peting franchise. Thersupon the older
company reduced the rates on residence
'phones from $50 to S3G The second
fact bearing on this question is noticed
in dispatch from Eiston asserting
that thu Stroudsburg and Bushkill
Telephone company had decided to
establish uniform yearly rental OF
$24 In neither case are we Informed
rs 10 the quality of ths service to bs
rendered ut the reduced prices; but
with competition operating as q con
ytant stimulus it is prssumsble that
the service will not materially deteri-
crate
In the local field, during the discuI-
sion Of the pole tax proposition, it was
repeatedly stated by the officials Of the
Central Telephone company that con.
tinual improvements aud changes had
so eaten into their revenues ~ 10 leavs
nothing like satisfactory margin Of
profit at the same time there has
been more or less dissatisfaction with
the service, particularly on stormy
days. Tho fault in this matter prob.
ably does not lie with the company it
self, since similar complaint il made
wherever wires are strung overhead
and connected with tho old type OF
transnitter But it has - tendency,
nevertheless. to MAKE the average
telephone subscriber impatient for the
day when decreased royalties to rich
Inventors will enable local exchanges
TO put in better instruments at rental

The esteemed Altoona Tribune tn inks
there 's not an intelligent student Of

spreading paUp4risin, aud one aim ost
certain to result in corruption" Is not
this sweeping statsmsnt? An intsli i,
gent student Of sociology who sits on
the bench Of Lackawanna county be-
lie'es to the contrary; and his recent
opinion sustaining the power Of the
Scranton Poor board to grant out door
relief was received with general ap-
proval by persons who do not place
much confidence in the poor houses

There is good deal TO be said on
both sides Of this question. While IL
would be desirable to have sufficient
business prosperity to render outdoor
relief unnecessary. criSes such az that
through which our country has just
passed make temporary relief an abso-
lutte necessity in many cases. 1t is
quite possible to draw too delicate a
distinction in this matter Were poor
houses always conducted as thsy should
be, and were there, alsc, sufficiently
exalted public sentiment to admit that
deserving paupers and unfortunates
are to be respected and not snsered at,
1t would no doubt be possible to do
without outdoor relief and to mass all
victims Of poverty in public iustitu-
tions Of refuge,
Unhappily, those ideal conditions do
not exist We are compelled to take
people as we find them; and wo find a
majority Of them entertaining an un-
conquerable repugnance to being
carted away in disgrace and boarded
