Another Currency Scheme,

Ex-senator Farwell, Of Chicago, de-
clares that, however congress may
twist and squirm, it will yet be forced
to meet the currency problem in the fol-
lowing manner:
First--Let the government fund its
floating debt and refund its bonded debt
In 2 per cent. fifty-year bonds and re-
tire from the currency business alto
gether.
Second-Allow the national banks to use
these bonds at par as a basis for their
circulation, eXempting them from all fed
eral taxation, except just enough to pay
for printing their notes.
Third-Repeal the sub-treasury act and
let the revenues of the nation be deposited
In the national banks where collected.
This plan has at least the one
merit Of brevity. But we do not
believe that the people are ready
to have the government ''retire
from the currency business alto
gether." Before the government does
that, 1t will have to assure its citi-
zens that they will not be subject to
currency liable to lose its value in the
first moment of panic, The govern
ment's present part in the currency
business has been generally acceptable.
In contrast with the part once played
by the several states, during the era
of wild cat currency, 1t is a distinct
Improvement, from which the public
will tolerate no backward step.
The need OF currency revision Is in
disputable. If long-term low interest
bonds are Indispensable, the acceptance
Of them will be cordial provided there

The residents of the First district OF
the Thirteenth ward are acting on The
Tribune's suggestion Of cleansing COM
mon council by having as representa-
tives reputable business men. They are
urging F. G. Kruegerman, of the Scran-
ton Iron Fence Manufacturing COM
pany, to accept the nomination. This
Is a wise selection. The large business
of the Scranton Fence company is a
monument to Mr.. Kruegerman's busi-
ness ability and level headedness. The
First district of the Thirteenth ward
has never had representative in the
common council, and it is argued by
residents in that district that 1t is time
they had one, for the reason that little
or no attention has yet been paid to-
ward the improvement of this import
ant part of the city.

Plans For Road Reform

The governor in his message and the
president pro tempore of the state SEN
ate have, within the week, strongly
emphasized the need Of intelligent and
progressive legislative treatment of the
country road problem. This need Is
clearly recognized throughout the
state. One measure of which much ia
expected has been formulated by Sena-
Tor Finn, of Allegheny. 1t Is an ex-
haustive bill, which may be briefly
summarized as follows:
Section ! centers the control of township
roads In the hands of the county commits
soners. Section 2 gives the commissions
ers power to order surveys, plans and es-
timates of new roads, the same to be sub
mitted to the court of common pleas.
which shall give advertised hearings.
Section empowers surveyors to enter
upon private lands. Section authorizes
the commissioners to arbitrate damages.
Section authorizes the appointment of
viewers where arbitration fails. Sections
6 and define the powers of viewers and
regulate the estimating of damages. Sec
tion provides that the payment OF all
costs shall be by public taxation. Section
3 governs the payment of viewers. Sec
exceptions and governs the adjudication
Of the same. Section II defines how pro-
posals to build roads may be invited and
regulates the awarding Of contracts
Sections ~ and 13 relate to repairs. Other
sections adjust details OF the surveys and
construction work and take from the sew
eral townships all control of road making
and road repair. The question Of cost Is
met in section IA, which authorizes the
levy and collection of an annual county
tax Of mill, upon all real estate and per-
sonal property in the county, the same to
form a permanent road fund, available
both for construction and for malnten-
nnce.
The objection most likely to arise
against this measure Is the familiar one
that 1t overlooks the province of the
state in highway management. The
Finn plan would obviously be more
productive of uniformity In public
roads than Is the present plan of town
ship supervision. since It would make
uniformity possible at least within
county boundaries. But we are strongly
Of the opinion well expressed by the

AMONG THE ALMANACS.

The Scranton Republican almanac for
1895, copy of which has been received at
this office, contains information of inter-
est to every resident of Lackawanna
county. 1t Is especially ample In Its
presentation of statistics, and Is, upon the
whole, credit to its publishers and to its
conscientious compiler, Colonel s. a..
Lackey. p!
Accuracy and thoroughness character
ize the tenth annual handbook of local
and general information compiled by the
Wilkes-Barre Record. This almanac Is
entirely of home manufacture, and conse-
quently contains features nicely adapted
TO the needs of the Records readers and
residents of LuZerne county generally.
The forepart of the handsome annual is
sued by the Wilkes-Barre Leader this
year Is, by special arrangement, Identical
with that In the almanac Of the Philadel-
phia Record; but this Is supplemented by
an exhaustive summary of Luzerne
county information, and the whole publi-
cation is eminently valuable and cred
table
This years compendium of Schuylkill
county statistics by the Pottsville Chron-
icle shows care and enterprise. The pub
lication Of so good an annual by an inland
newspaper shows In which part Of the
journalistic field the fastest progress Is
now making.

The Outlook Is Gloomy.

From the Philadelphia Times.
There is quite fever now raging for the
establishment of new counties in the
state, no less than three measures to this
effect appearing in the first spread of
legislation before the house. The coun-
ties of LuZerne, Lackawanna, Cleariield
and jefferson are the sections Interested
Hazleton, Carbondale and Du Bois are the
cities after county seat honors. Halle
county. cutting off lower Luzerne, An
thracite county, setting aside the upper
part of Lackawanna, with a township or
two from Susquehanna and Wayne, and
Du Bois county, taking generous strips
from Clearfeld and Jefferson, comprise in
brief the geographical features of the en-
terprise. How far the advocates of these
divisions can prevail with the Legislature
remains as conjecture, but this does not
open out as the sort Of year for legislation
of that kind.

Need of COMPULSORY Education,
ON the Easton Free-Press.

From the EaSt0n Eree-PreSS.
New York state now has a compulsory
education law, the act passed last year
going into effect on Tuesday. Had the
Democratic governor of Pennsylvania not
vetoed the act passed by the legislature
two years ago, this state would have a
similar law. The provisions of the New
York law are embraced in the following:
"All children between 8 and 1G years of
age in proper physical and mental condi-
ton are required to attend instruction, as
in said law specifically stated, namely:
All children between and u years OF
age must attend during the entire period
public schools are in session, between the
first of October and the first of June fol-
lowing. All children between IL and ii
years of age must attend at least eighty
consecutive day during the same period,
and the whole period, unless lawfully en-
ployed. All children between Hand 16 years
of age must attend when not lawfully en-
ployed." Such n law as this will become
more and more beneficial as the years pro-
gress, and the people of New York state
will never regret its passage. 1t Is one Of
the duties of the present legislature of
Pennsylvania to pass an act of this kind.

pcnnsylyania's Claim is Good.

FROM the Phlladelphia Press.
1t Is absurd to say that Pennsylvania
must stand aside because it is not
doubtful state in national contests. The
very fact that it is always true should
give 1t q preferred claim and one which
at this time, when there are no doubtful
states in the north, should make recogni
ton of Pennsylvania absolutely certain.
Ohio, which has not any more than Penn
sylvania been doubtful state, has al
most invariably for twenty years had a
candidate for the Republican presidential
nomination. That state has pressed its
demands with earnestness and devotion,
not merely for individuals, but in behalf
of the state; and twice within the period
named has secured the nomination. Only
twice in all its history has the Republican
party nominated a candidate from what
could be called doubtful state. and on
one of these occasions ii failed Of success.
No question of doubtful states in the
north can be raised in the next Republi-
can national convention. All these states
are pretty safe under the conditions then
reasonably certain TO exist.

Minooka's Annexation Defeated.

The indefinite postponement by select
council Of the ordinance annexing
Minooka was the only action possible
after President Chittenden had stated
the cold statistics of the subject. After
citing the fact that the last total as
sessment of Minooka for local purposes
would, under 10-mill levy. bring only
Sl,6OO to the city's revenues, or about
the tax paid by one good-szed office
building in the center of the city, he
made detailed estimate that the cost
OF extending city conveniences' over
Minooka's five square miles would be
easily $40, 1000 a year. In other words,
for $1,000 worth of taxes the people of
Minooka ask Scranton to give them
$4,000 worth of better government
A bargain thus one-sided might. as
he pointed out, be defensible if the ter
ritory proposed to be annexed Were by
location natural part of the city.
But Minooka is several miles distant
from the central portion of Scranton;
IT Is not by virtue of it's location a
natural part of this city; and while We
should like to see the citizens of
Minooka enjoying city conveniences, it
would hardly be fair to expect these
conveniences to be extended by Scran-
tonians so long a distance at so great
an expense. An effort will undoubtedly
be made by the Democrats to create the
impression that politics determined
Minooka's rejection. But amy shrewd
man can see that business principles
required the defeat Of this annexation
ordinance.

Philadelphia Press when it sees mo
reason why the state itself should not
construct and maintain state roads
those which cross county lines and
connect together the leading CONNER
cial manufacturing and mining centers
of the state. These stem roads should
be models FOR the local road makers to
approximate, as nearly as possible.
They should be of sufficient width, well
paved in the center. of easy grades.
safely bridged where necessary, and
bridges and roads alike free of toll.
These roads should also be lined on
either side with shade trees. On this
point the road making and forestry in
terests should join hands, and the high
ways of the state made things of
beauty and gladness, as well as of every
day utility to the people"
If this question is debated with an
earnest purpose to reach definite re-
suits, it is very probable that, with the
experience of numerous other states
and the data of various past commits
sions already available in guidance,
this session of the state legislature may
win the credit which would attach to
the taking of a practical step toward a
permanent betterment OF our common
highways.

The Newspapers True Mission.

From the Olyphant Record.
A newspaper exists to give the news and
neither to ventilate personal spleen nor TO
discriminate against those who differ
from u.s. This is the standard by which
personal opinion judges the press ut the
close of the nineteenth century, and an
organ given to personal spite and dis
elimination is an anachronism and un-
unworthy of patronage.

for remarking that John Dalzell would
