MHAT Is NEEDED.

A severe winter has been tided over
by the unfortunate in our city in a
manner which has left very little pnb-
lie evidences of unusual suffering. This
hSppy result has been due, not to any
lack of pitiable destitution, but to the
unhagglng generosity Of our citizens,
and TO the systematic, unostentatious
manner in which relief has been dis
tributsd. The experience of Scranton,
in this respect, is the experience of
every well governed large American
city.
While there may be faeting touches
of winter, the backbone of the cold
period has obviously been broken, and.
in its conquest, has passed the critical
point in the uncommon destitution that
has lately prevailed among us. From
this time forth the energies of our
charitable associations will need to be
directed, as far rs possible toward the
provision of work for those in idleness,
and toward the general stimulation of
public confidence, so rs soon to realize
long-needed revival in business.
Work, and not aims. is the key note to
the present difficulty, AMI work cannot
be supplied in saving abundance while
all classes are benumbed by legislative
dilly dallyiuS and hypnotizel through
fear of hostile and radical tariff action.
Thus, while partlsanship is to be
tabooed in the presence of command.
ing peril, it is plainly to be seen
that politics plays large part in the
existing crisis; and that local senti-
msnt needs to reinforce the general
political sentiment which cries out for
an early decision, one way or the other.
Give the country an assurance OF what
it has to expect in way of foreign COM
petition and it will adjust its business
accordingly and push ahead with all
its might.

THE EXACT VOTE.

Next Monday will be the thirty-frst
anniversary of the retirement of Mr..
Grow from public life. He will cele-

the unparalleled Endorsement Of plu-

figures, amounts finally to 1S9,294
Only once has any candidate in this
state had larger plurality. That was
in 1854, when Henry S. Mott, Demo-

against George Darsil, Wing, in total
vote OF 274, O74, received plurality Of
100. 743.

these men would revisit this earth and
learn of the conditions governing their
entrance to the Metropolitan club.
Could we fancy the heroes Of Saratoga
or Ticonderoga enjoying the prospect
of an unsuccessful suit for admission,
even as brief spectators, to the inner
circle of plutocratic swelldom as exem'

WHILE THERE existed little necessity
last month for irregularities in voting,
the fact was demonstrated anew that
that feature of the new ballot law which
permits the illiterats voter to choose
helper and escort him into booth is
direct invitation to corrupt practices.
We like the suggestion that two help
ers, one Republican and one Demo
crat, be appointed for each district by
the court, under oath and heavy pen
atty, to perform this tutorial function.
Even this plan might occasionally be
attended by Irregularities; but it
would be a distinct improvement oyer
