The Cost of Cleaning berlin.

1t is true that municipal affairs are,
generally speaking, conducted here
more economically and much more
thoroughly than is the case in Ameri-
can cities. Thus in 1875 the streets of
Berlin, covering total area of 6, $780,
600 square meters, were cleaned at an
annual expenditure of 100000 marks
$500, 0o0). Now, the area of Berlin
streets having increased by 1895 to over
5000, 600 square meters, the streets are
cleaned for but S400, 000-and cleaned,
let me say, better than in any other
large city in the world. This is due to
system, to the excellent pavements,
constantly renewed and mended, and
to machine sweeping, which costs 60
per cent less than the sweeping done
by hand. It is the same with the
street sprinkling. This is done during
the season whenever needed. on hot,
dusty days twice, and l,200,0 900 cubic
meters of water are used up in the
thorough system of sprinkling between
April and November Is. The city
does it at an expense of but 1894. coo

tent factor in the municipalities purg-
ing. People learned first to read how
other persons were being governed;
and next they took to instituting COM
parisons. From that moment, progress
in city administration became inevita-
BILE.
It is a stock criticism against the
average male American Of voting age
that he divests himself OF his con-
science when entering the vestibule
of the caucus room or the ballot booth.
Without assuming to measure the ex-
act present proportions of truth and
error in this somewhat exaggerated
epigram, 1t can with justice be said
that the average male American heart
lily objects to being palpably cheated.
1t is precisely that repuguance which
bulwarks the battle for honest and
economical municipal administration.
Let it be generally known to the public,
upon explicit evidence, that a certain
set Of officials or n certain political
system results in the deliberate and
calculated waste of the publics sub
stance. and there will be no lack of
vigor In the public's response. Vague
and malicious charges deservedly
carry little weight: as do the accusa-
tions Of malcontents and the envenomed
disclosures of informers. But straight,
square facts, put before the public
mind by men in whom the public has
reason to have confidence. never were
so influential for good as they are to-
day; and never comprised so large
percentage of the publics civic con-
Germ.
We intend, from time to time as
space will permit. to give our readers
the gist of the papers read at this
Cleveland conference; and doubt n6t
that its publication will serve a most
useful purpose.

NOW PASS THE BILLS.

Hon. c. L. Magee's Pittsburg Times:
1.-The house of representatives at Harris
burg ON Monday did manly, sensible,
Republican duty. 1t took the first essen
tial step to correct u grave mistake, mis-
take about as grave as any In Its power
to make, and replaced the defeated appor-
tionment bills on the calendar. The af-
firmatve vote on two Of the bills was more
than the majority of the whole house
which will be required to pass them. The
vote for the other lacked but three of this
number. This was upon the legislative
apportionment bill, which revises the
districts of the members themselves, and
therefore was the easiest to combine OPP
position to. The strength of the vote for
reconsideration gives Republicans who
have been mortified, to use no stronger
word, at the surprising blunder of last
week, good right to expect that their party
representatives will fully redeem them
selves. 1t remains for them to pass these
points of difference between the house
bills by good, hearty majorities. The
and the senate can then quickly be ad-
justed, and bills sent to Governor Hast
ings which will be fair to all sections of
the state and creditable to the legislature
So it will redeem its honor, and not other
wise"
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1895-05-30
The battle for apportlonment is prob
ably won; and the Republican party,
by the same token, is spared far-reach-
ing embarrassment.
nemOrial Day.

1t Is not to the discredit Of the heroic
tial battle for self-preservation that on
this one day in Americas calendar of
memorial occasions the figure which is
chiefest before the public mind is that
of the humble volunteer. The fame of
the one IS secure beyond effacement.
In all ages mankind has apotheosized
its successful generals. But It is for
the great mass of contemporary bene-
f1ciaries to do requisite honor to the
memory of the American private sol
der; to honor the living and to pay
suitable tribute to the dead: and those
beneficiaries will today prove grandly
adequate to their high privilege.
For the most of us the great war is
not even a reminiscence. Four and
thirty years, half the allotted life of
man. separate us from its grim begin
ming; three whole decades, filled as
never decades We're filled with the fer
menting events Of unprecedented de-
velopment, intervene between us and
Its happy and yet painful close In
that busy interval the changes
which have occurred are marvellous be-
yond human comprehension: and yet
there has been no day in all that busy
time when in the hearts of the people
there was more true gratitude, more
honorable recognition than there is to-
day for the volunteer soldier. In every
locality throughout the land, men and
women and even children will this day
gather In commemoration of the
heroic dead as they have not gathered
since the beautiful ceremonial came
into general observance. We can see
this renewed interest reflected In our
own community, and may be assured
that the local fact IS not exceptional.
Times of late have been somewhat
troublous. In an age of peace men
have felt the lack of food: and hard
ship in some form has stalked unbid-
den into every home The mild chast-
ening of this bloodless battle against
some form Of loss has put the Ameri-
can people In. a mood to appreciate the
immeasurably severer trials Of the vol
unteer soldier; and with that apprecia-
ton has come the renewed desire to
give 1t public exhibition Is it too
much to expect that from this manifest
revival Of interest in the true import
of Memorial Day will come a percepti-
BILE quickening of the latent patriot
ism of the masses and a grand revival
in the impulses which determine bet
tered citizenship?
1t would seem not; and in that hope
we gladly greet the sad and yet pleas
ant duties of this holy day.

OUR FALLEN HEROES.

For The Tribune.
Once again the roses blossom,
Once again the lilies fair
Lift their cups to catch the sunbeams
And with fragrance fill the air,
While the breezes soft and balmy
Blow through many leafy grove.
And the birds-those merry songsters
Charm the ear with songs Of love.
Once again we bring the roses
And tho lilies fair and sweet:
Once again we weave our garlands,
Lay them at our heroes feet.
Once again rehearse the story
OF tn cir deeds so brave and true,
How they died to save our country.
Save 1t from that traitor crew.
Who disgraced the name Of Freemen,
Tore our starry banner down.
And the stars and bars they Haunted
Over every southern town;
over every rebel prison
Where our loved ones starved and died.
Want and woe those grim, stern phantoms
Ever stalking by their side.
II beyond the fatal dead-line,
Carelessly foot should tread.
Quick the sentry raised his musket,
And the eager bullet sped
Into brains so worn and weary,
Into hearts so sad and lone,
Longing praying for the dear ones
Safe In many a northern home.
Thus fell many q noble hero,
And In slumbers calm and deep,
Waiting for the last reveille,
Undisturbed their quiet sleep.
And the summer suns shine brightly.
While the trees their blossoms shed,
Dropping fragrant benedictions
Der the green mounds Of the dead.
Can we e'er forget Antetam,
And that brave March to the SeaT
Can we e'er forget our Lincoln
He who set the bondmen free?
No! while there's n heaven above us.
While orr flag floats far and wide,
Love for God and love for country
Be our watchword and our guide.
Then lift high the country's banner,
See the stars shine in the blue,
PaIsied be the hand that ever
Clouds one star with treason's hue
And each year we'll bring the roses
And the lilies, fair and sweet,
Weave of them a fragrant garland,
Lay them at our heroes feet.
Charlotte v. Cruiser.

Include the Children.

From the Wilkes-Barr Leader.
The approach of the great June festival
reminds one of the suggestion made sew
eral months ago In the Leader and gen.
erall Endorsed hereabout. that choruses Of
school children be allowed to compete on
singing of national melodies, such as
umbla the Gem OF the Ocean," The COM
mittees In charge OF the festival are made
up OF bright up-to-date men. who have lots
OF good Ideas themselves and who are
ready to receive good suggestions from
others. why can they not yet make q
place for IL competition for school chill
dren? 1t would arouse great interest and
would boom the festival. Parents are al
ways Interested In what concerns their
children. Train the children to patriotism
and to singing. There is no one event that
would add more interest to the June fes-
tival than this kind OF competition.

Genuine Reformers.

In probably no other field of public
activity has so much progress been
made within the last decade toward
material Improvement as has been
made in the direction Of better NUM-
cipal government in this country. A
half-score of years ago, the publication
of a call for such conference as the
National Municipal league, now in the
midst Of a three-days' session in
Cleveland, o., would have been greet
ed derisively by nine persons out of
ten, or else denounced as trick Of
mugwumpery designed to emasculate
politics and transform citizenship into
a condition of pitiable political neutral
ity. Today, the call elicits only COM
mendable comment; and the conference
itself Is recognized by the great major
ity as one Of the wholesome and saving
agencies of a day active in its renova-
ton Of political corruption and vigilant
in its detection Of official dereliction.
While the credit for much of this
sweeping revolution in public senti-
ment belongs of right to those intrepid
pioneers in this battle against bossism
whom we all were once wont to UNDER
value and sometimes to abuse; large
part Of 1t must also be acknowledged
as the handiwork of a natural evolu-
ton against which the primitive meth
DDS under which municipal rascality
masked its nefarious work could not
hope long to stand out. In the single
instance Of the mechanical develop
ment of the printing handicraft, where.

try. They picture the American soldier
as no Is. not as his disloyal enemies would
paint him. and inculcate a Lesson of pa

Moon rises 1912 a. m.

A child born on this day will live to be
proud of the fact, in case the home club
succeeds in downing the Wilkes-Barre
nine at the Base Ball park this afternoon.
In some respects fair girls will be more
fortunate than dark ones born on this day.
1t will not be necessary for them to invest
in hair bleach should they desire to be-
come stage beauties.
Now that 1t has been announced that di-
gestion is produced by a germ 1t Is prob
able that war on microbes will cease eX-
cept in the case OF those who take medi-
cine for snake bites
1t is altogether likely that some Of the
early legislative grab bills will prove
more expensive to the state than the garb
bills.

Ajacchus' Advice.

II you are interested in base ball, don't
wait for the morning paper or consult
bulletin boards. Call up the editorial
rooms of some of the daily newspapers
and ask questions as to scores of all games
played from Portland to Kalamazoo. A
few hundred inquiring minds can make
the evening very pleasant for the writer
who sits nearest the phone.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1895-05-30

The Scranton base ball club either
ought not to have begun the season at
SO fast a pace or else 1t ought not after
ward to have started with so much vim
to slide downward. Scranton could
stand a steady diet Of base ball medic
Gritty but It cannot forgive a Irritation
with it's fond expectations.

ashamed to offer as an excuse for a
continuation of its dependency.

One trouble with the Religious Garb
bill Is that 1t hits at harmless symbol
and not at the real difficulty. Is it
right, under the constitution, for any
person to teach In the free public
schools who has previously, by a SOL
emn vow. dedicated his or her exclu-
sive services to particular sect or &C.
clesiastical system? This Is the real
point at stake in the discussion; and
the garb bill only partly covers 1t.
