The question OF re-adjusting the fire
limits of Scranton, to fit the extra
ordinary recent growth Of the city,
although a solution is strongly urged
by every consideration of prudence and
foresight, uuaccountably yet hangs in
abeyance. Meanwhile. new structures
are being planned daily, many Of
which virtually invite rapid destruc.
tion by the first fire that shall care

Now while the lessons OF the Fourth
Of July are fresh in mind, it would be
timely for councils to make a forward
move in this matter. 1t is not denied
that new frame buildings in the bust

day passes that does not see such build.

time to act is before the danger gets
too great; and before the custom of
building tinder.liks structures in
places of uncommon exposure becomes
too firmly established
An ordinance extending the fire linn

expanding city should be introduced at
the next session OF councils. It will en-.
counter little if any opposition and it

1T is ANNOUNCED that owing to ad-
vancing years and failing health, ex.
Vice President Morton Will not be a
candidate for the Republican guber-
material nomination in New York This
withdrawal will disappoint many who
have looked upon Mr.. Morton's candi'
dacy as the one in many respects best
calculated to command sincere re-
spect and almost certain victory,
Under the circumstances. however,
the party could not do better than
to place in nomination that stalwart
Republican and veteran journal
ist, ex-Minister John M. Francis, Of
Troy. Mr.. Francis popularity before
the people was strikingly shown last
spring when he led all the candidates
for delegate-at-large to the constitu.
tional convention. With Mr.. Francis
in the executive chair at Albany thero
would be no shirking Of duty, no sur
render Of principle and no quarter to
bossiSm or jobbery. If he could be
prevailed upon to accept nomination,
which would almost surely be followed
by victory at the polls. it would be a
happy solution to the gubernatoria
problem in the Empire state aud one
that would appeal to the best instincts
Of virile RoPublicanism everywhere.

view:

The cause OF labor does not require its

Mr.. Debs' Reply.

The elaborate defense published yes
terday by President Dsbs betrays be-
tween its well-worded lines an unsafe
anxiety to reform the ills Of mankind
at one clip. Mr.. Debs looks at certain
evils and vows that he will cure them,
yet does not pause to consider the
necessary question of methods He
perceives. for instance, that men who
once earned large sums Of money at
Pullman, when times were brisk and
wages high, had during the business
depression suffered necessary reduc-
tions and had finally struck against the
new order of things. "All right says
Don Qlixote .Debs, well mike En-
ployer Pullman pay more money to his
men or We'll smash every railroad
company that uses Pullman's cars.
This. perhaps. was a natural visw for
Debs to take, schooled as hs was in the
sgitators school. Blu. il would have
been more prudent in him had be

ing the Pullman wage reductions

way travel and consequently dimin- =

and the methods best calculated to
neutralize or modify those causes. 1t

gogism that Dsbs' inconsiierats on

as to justify the dismal sound Of the fog
