governs the state cash box in circum-
stances of this kind Is that 1t is neither
fair nor just to tax citizens of Pitts
burg and Philadelphia to pay for the
care of the sick and injured citizens of
Scranton; and very good idea 1t is,
too. But there Is measure of reason
able reciprocity that still obtains; SO
that when the citizens of Scranton
have done their level best to establish
and maintain the hospital that they
desire, and yet lack reasonable sum
of money to complete the good work us
it should be completed, the state, rep
resenting in this comparison the citi-
zens of Pittsburg and Philadelphia
and all other disinterested commun-
tiles, stands ready to extend its aid, as
fair equivalent for the taxes that 1t
levies upon Scrantonians to help sup
port hospitals in those other places.
1t is imperative, however, that the
new hospital movement, if it begin at
all, shall begin ut home. Before Scran'
toms representatives at Harrisburg
could with good grace 80 before the
legislature with bill voting state
funds to the movement, they would
have to be prepared to show that the
people of Scranton were sufficiently
desirous Of the hospitals erection to
reach into their own pockets, as well
as into the pockets of the common
wealth. This is practical politics
and it is also practical philan-
thropy. The people who will not
help themselves should not be
helped. If, bearing these stern facts
in mind, the various persons who have
remarked the conspicuous need of a
first class miners hospital in Hyde
Park, to take the place among the
hard working and muchjeOparded
residents of that portion of the city
and Of Providence, which is now taken
by the half-lilled Moses Taylor hospital

ers who are eligible to its splendid, al
though less public, mlnistrations, will

may yet be possible to go before the

ate and the humiliation Of President
Cleveland by members Of his own
party whom he had accused of try
ing to precipitate "party periidy"
and "party dishonor" will not be
materially obscured by the clumsy
eXpedients to which the house has
resorted in its grotesQue effort to let
itself down easily. The house has
passed separate bills placing iron ore,
coal and sugar on the free list.
1t has done this in obedi-
ence to the presidents command;
and in the polite endeayor to

The question which now arises
takes one to the white house for an
answer. VIII the president sign the
German bill? VIII he permit it to
become a law by default? Or will
he, by a veto, invalidate the whole
structure of Democratic tariff sham

The revolving feature of the whole
episode, in either event, Is the fact
that all its tremendous scandal,
havoc and humiliation were in
their origin absolutely unnecessary.
Whether it had been the Wilson
