The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1894-12-14

The first of a series of high-class con-
certs given at Young Mems Christian
Association hall last evening was at
tended by large and select audience,
which included some Of the best musical
critics of the city. 1t is pleasing to
note that the efforts of Mr.. Hemberger
and others to create desire for music
of the highest order are meeting with
substantial recognition from our people.
Although Scranton has quite a reputa-
ton about the country as a musical
center there are branches in which
ample field for missionary work exists.
The Inauguration of series of concerts
with the aim of producing instrumental
effects of the first order is a step in
the right direction.

Much Ado About Nothing.

II there is any trouble with the via
duct promoters more conspicuous than
another, 1t is their misapprehension of
the relative importance of things. Like
our friend, Secretary Daniels, who else
where outlines his views of the mayor
recent veto, too many of these gentle
men precipitate themselves to the con-
cluslon that all Scranton is fairly clam
oring for that viaduct. This may be
true; but we submit that it is not yet
in evidence. We have yet to be con-
vinced that even in Hyde Park there is
the spontaneous, concerted and frantic
demand for this structure which one
would sometimes be led to believe while
reading the minutes of the West Side
board of trade.
AS a matter of fact, there are objec-
tions to the recent viaduct ordinance
entirely apart from its indefinite cost. 1t
proposed, If we recollect correctly, to
cover only a portion Of the road, leaving
drivers the alternative of using the old
road bed on either side. Such a plan
would be more likely to increase than
to diminish the present danger, mas
much as the majority of truck drivers
would continue to use the old roadway,
in preference to attacking the viaducts s
sleeper grade; and would bein increased
risk of accident because of the viaduct's
supports. A viaduct thus designed
would, six times out of ten, defeat it's
own purposes, and succeed only in in
ficting loss on-the adjoining property
owners. g.
Obviously, therefore, the mayors veto
of this ordinance would have been de-
fensible without reference to the ques-
ton of cost. a viaduct, to be of full
service as a life protector, must cover
the entire street and carry with it the
condemnation of all adjoining proper
tiles. Such viaduct, at West Lacka-
wanna avenue, would cost perhaps as
much as the Linden street bridge, and
with the completion of that bridge
Woulu De renueTeu 10 u considerable
degree superfuous. The people of Hyde
Park may want that kind of viaduct,
and they may not. Some undoubtedly
do; but are they in the majority? What
evidence is there that they are? If not,
why should minority seek 50 earnestly
ITO turn this viaduct question into a
personal drive at one city official in
stead of using the broader plane of an
educational and impersonal discussion?
When we suggest that there is po-
litical club in some of this ado, we do
not wish to imply that the club is ap-
proved Of by majority of West Siders;
or that 1t can be successfully used to
brow beat the whole city of Scranton.

sugar, and, pointing to the total, tell
him to see how much you have reduced
the tariff. But he will know better and
you will realize the fact when you come
to count the votes on election day. The
people of this country" continued Mr..
Blaine in 1890 ''are done with high tar
iff, and duties have got to be cut down
Just as low as they can be without throw
ing open markets to the mercy Of foreign
manufacturers. The people do not want
our industries destroyed, but they want
healthy competition, under which our
manufacturers will take care of them
selves by producing better articles than
can be obtained abroad. Hereafter" he
declared, 1.-THE American worklngman will
command the trade of the world by the
superiority of his workmanship and not
by the low prices Of his goods" =
No Republican with a memory has
forgotten how earnestly, in that mem
orable year, Mr., Blaine strove to avert
how it took all the fire of his matchless
eloquence to enSraft upon the McKin-
ley tariff its redeeming feature of recip-
rOcty; and how, when these actions of
his had made him unpopular with the
extremists then in control of the party,
he was gradually subjected to annoy
ances that, in the opinion of many, ul-
timately drove him from the cabinet
and into a premature grave. This, 10
be sure, is ancient history, which the
extremists would gladly forget; but 1t
is still profitable for future guidance;
and the lesson Of it, SO far from having
been erased by the Republican victory
Of last November, is really strength
ened by it until the most prescient
members of the party-men like Sena-
tor Sherman, eX-Speaker Reed, Senator
Quay, Chairman Babcock and General
Clarkson-have lately We'd with each
other in admonitions to prudence and
conservatism in future tariff changes.
Nineteen Republicans out of twenty
know perfectely well that their party's
pioneers favored merely an equalizing
tarff-a tariff equal to the difference
between home and foreign labor Nine
teen-twentieths of them will be salts
fed to return to the wise teachings of
the party's founders.

The Harrisburg Patriot is remarka-
bly, kind in its anxiety lest the next Ma
tional Republican nomination conven-
tion should slight Pennsylvania. But
would the Patriot be offended If we
ventured to intimate that Republicans
will be thoroughly adequate to the task
of naming their own nominees without
feeling a need Of Democratic help?

Very general satisfaction will be eX-
perienced by Catholics and Protestants
equally when they learn that Father
Lambert, the keen analyst of Ingersoll-
ism, has, after a brief literary vacation,
assumed editorial control of the New
York Freemen's Journal. This gifted
writer lost an earlier position in Phila-
delphia chiefly, 1t is believed, because
he has been uncompromisingly liberal,
straightforward and patriotic In his dis
cussion of public questions and church
polity; which failed, 1t seems, to please
certain. conservative Intermediates.
There are often some sacrifices connect
ed with editorial honesty and candor;
but we agree with Father Lambert
that in spite of them honesty and cam
dor ultimately pay.

The Illusion Preserved.

From the Wilkes Barre Record.
The attempt TO call Mr. Mansfield be-
fore the curtain after the second act was
frustrated in perfectly proper manner
and was In the nature of a compliment to
the genius of Richard Wagner, the great
tonal master, who first fought against the
pernicious conventional practice of dis
illusionizing the story of a play or an
opera by the appearance of the actors in
any other manner than that belonging TO
their parts Mr.. Mansfield sent word that
he regretted he could not answer an en-
core, but his conscientious regard for his
art would not permit it. The audience
saw the point and acquiesced at once.
