the story was circulated that the bank

here We're so badly bitten in the late
banking disasters that the rumor was
eagerly sWelled and this morning there
was run on every bank in the city

of people surrounded each of the bank

gold as fast as demanded. There is nc
apprehension of danger to any of the
banks. The managers all say they
have an abundance of gold to meet
any possible call and it is expected that
the panic viii soon subside.

delicate burden Of apportioning out IL
censes for the sale of Intoxicating
drink. We appreciate fully the abuses
which might develop under an ap-
pointive system, should the guberna-
torial head of that system prove to be
unworthy of his high responsibility.
But such abuses would not be likely to
last more than four years at one time,
while under the present adjustment of
the license problem, abuses of the spirit
and intent of the Brooks law, in some
sections of the commonwealth, are al
most perpetual. The state, in licensing
the liquor traffic, assumes a response
bility for the evils growing out of that
traffic which is poorly discharged when
the state requires the same Judge who
issues licenses to sit in the trial of cases
growing out of such licensing Of a busi-
ness that constantly breeds disturbance
in the community. If the state liquor
league were shrewd, it would not op-
pose the establishment of an excise
commission; TOR such opposition puts in
the hands of the advocates of the Hack
enberg plan strong presumptive argu-
ment that the proposed commission
would work distinct improvement in
the condition of the public morals. Not
only that; it also tends to shake the
confidence of the people in Senator
Penrose's assertion that politics and
the saloon influence have been finally
divorced.

Establish a Permanent Census.

1t is announced upon the authority of
the acting superintendent that the Of
| fetal census of 1890 will be completed
| by March 4, 1895. This. to be sure, is
gain of two or three years upon its
predecessor. But the interval elapsing
| between the enumeration of popula-
| ton and the ending of the census work
is yet much too long. In this day peo-
pie do not care to wait five years for
| information as to the condition Of
| things half decade earlier. In the
| five years that it now takes to compile
| census, there is such rapid growth
that when the compilation Is at last
complete, It refers not to the living
| present but to the ancient past.
The census in many details is like a
newspaper; it should be birds eye
review Of the activities of the day pre-
| ceding it's publication. Its news must
be news, not history: it must benefit
| the present by holding a mirror up to it.
| There is only a languid interest in
these days in statistics which are five
| years behind the times. In our own
locality, for instance, we know that five
years have witnessed material
change; that instead of having the
| "a, 900 population credited to us in the
last census Scranton today has 100000
and is rapidly growing; and-that Lack
awanna county, instead of falling
underneath the 100000 population mark,
as would appear from the census fig
ures, Is at this moment nearer 175,OOO
than 10000 in population. If like dis
parity exists throughout the country
between facts as the census pictures
them and facts as they really are, the
exact value of the census of 1890 would
readily fall far below the popular esti-
mate of that value.
The obvious solution of this problem,
1t seems to us, Is to put the census upon
a permanent non-partisan basis, and
make It's labors continuous. Ten-year
enumerations are too wide apart; the
public Is accustomed to greater speed
In the details of its service. A perma-

That New Valley Ordinance.

We learn from the Elmira Telegram
| that There is a gigantic scheme before
councils Just now That scheme" ac-
cording to our contemporary, consists
of giving THE right of way of nearly
every street in the city to the Valley
Passenger company" The Telegram
suggests that somebody protest, The
Tribune preferred.
Before doing this suppose we first
ascertain the facts. When the Val
ley Passenger company leased its
chlnlter and franchises to the
Scranton Traction company for a
good, round sum, the latter COM
pany thought 1T was getting some
timing that would hold water 1t after
ward discovered that the charter was
defective, and in order to correct 'those
defects Ut finds THAT naw ordinance Is
necessary. This new ordinance is a
duplicate of the old one, with the excep-
tion THAT gt includes route to Peters
burg from the Nay Aug line along Pres
cctt avenue; a route to Connell park
anu Wle IlO CIOSS uilc Dpitl olie
bridge. The new ordinance, we UNDER
stand, carries with 1T no release from the
city's fundamental prerogative of taxa
ton. Councils may at any time levy
such taxes upon 1.-THE cars and equipment
of the operating company as will COM
pensate the city for the new privileges
accorded TO that company. 1t is because
we believe that councils should exact
such compensatory payment, and be-
cause we have lltte faith that the pres
emit councils will do this, that we are
striving to aid in the election of upright
business men to councils.
Precedent has fully fortified the right
of the people to have cheap street rail-
way transportation. If councils do not
safeguard that right by the imposition
of adequate taxes and restrictions, the
fault is clearly with the people who
elect such councils.

Norrstown Herald. 1T is stated that
the revenue commission. which Is en-
gagged in the preparation of report to
be submitted at the present session of the
Legislature, proposes to revive the odious
tax on building associations. The prln-
ciple of eXemptng them from taxation

ingmen and women, and thus enabling
them to acquire homes. This policy has
done much to establish habits of thrift
among the people of the state and 1t
ought to be continued for all time to
come. The members of building associa-
tions are taxed in a hundred ways, di-
rectly or indirectly and the state, with
an overnowing treasury, chould be able
to get along without this tax. To impose
1t is to strike tregpendous blow at habits
of thrift and economy among working
people"

Our ROads and Our Fore sts.

Reading Herald: 1.-THE continued pros
perity and the absolute safety of the
whole country depends upon these ques-
tions. 1t can be demonstrated, beyond the
possibility of a doubt, that continu-
ance of our present neglect of tree plant
ing and forestry will, in time, cause the
greater part of the United States to be-
come practically desert, while neglect
of the road question, and consequent
continuance of the present expensive
methods of rural transit, will prevent
any considerable revival of prosperity
among the rural population. In the mat
ter of forestry in this state, the legisla-
ture is fortunate in having already en-
ployed the very best expert engineer and
botanist of the forestry commission.
They have presented such data upon the
subject as should enable the legislature,
should 1t feel disposed. to make good
beginning in forestry legislation. In tho
matter of roads, also, the legislature will
have a considerable range of choice
among the numerous bills that have been
prepared by those who have given the
subject attention, and If that body is not
too much engrossed in jobs to give sufti-
cient of its time to the bills that are pre-
pared by its working members we may
look for at least start. both in the for
estry and road question:

The Proper Argument.

Philadelphia Record: "The coming elnc-

carry freight? OF course, the owners of
railways operated by steam will insist
upon their monopoly. But the argument
that pushed aside the horse to make way
for the, locomotive may be used in turn to
substitute electricity for steam. It is the
public advantage which must be consid-
cred"

LEGISLATIVE TOPICS.
Need of Compulsory Education.

Pittsburg Commercial Gazette: THE
very moderate and just measure which was
passed by the last legislature, having for
its object the education of class of chill
dren growing up in ignorance and neglect,
was vetoed by Governor Pattison for
reasons deemed sufficient by him, and in
his recent message he takes occasion TO
declare against the principle of compul-
sory education. He probably foresaw
that If the present Legislature re-enacted
the measure which he defeated by his
veto. his successor in the executive chair
would make 1t a law by his signature.
He can hardly hope to prevent its pass
age simply by reasserting his disapproyal
of the principle upon which 1t was based.
The bill which Governor Pattison vetoed
was not harsh or unreasonable in its pro-
visions. 1t recognized the rights of pa
rents to the services of their children, but
at the same time 1t sought to secure to
those children and to society the rights
which can only be obtained through their
education. To require that children of a
certain age should be sent to school Il
sufficient number of weeks each year to
enable them TO gain knowledge of the
elements of common school training
was the least the state could do for
class that is being greatly neglected. 1t
is not only q great disadvantage to a
child of the state to grow to manhood
without knowing how to read and write,
but the ignorance and incapacity which

against intelligent citizenship and good

The New Tax Bill.

Pittsburg Dispatch "The impression
produced by reading of the published
summary is that it increases the taxation
on corporations. This is to certain ex-
tent the result of sections in which the
diverse and incongruous methods of as
sessing corporate taxes are revised into
a clear and uniform assessment on a
single valuation. A case of this sort is
taxation of corporations for transporta-
ton. Under the present law these cor
porations were taxed in three ways, viz,
on capital stock, gross earnings and bonds
held within the state. Under the pro-
posed law they will be assessed at the
market value of their stocks and bonds,
from which deductions are made for the
purpose of avoiding double taxation or the
taxation of exempt property, and as the
result tax of four mills Is levied on the
proportion of the mileage of the corpora
tion within the state. There are features
in the bill which are likely to arouse
corporate opposition. But as a fair and
uniform measure for deriving revenue
from the creatures of state legislation
whose operation extend beyond county
limits, it is probably the most carefully
drawn and consistent measure ever pre-
sented for enactment in this state
