As to Sunday Base Ball.

The Tribune Is opposed TO Sunday
base ball, for two reasons. IN the first
place, ball playing on Sunday is vio-
lation of moral and, in some states,
statutory law. In the second place, 1t
is physical outrage, depriving many
persons of much-needed physical rest
The athlete is not more exempt than Is
the artisan from the necessity of o
weekly day Of rest and physical re-
cuperation. Nor Is it fair to those who
pay to see his skill exhibited on secu-
lar days that the professional ball play
.r, by being cheated out Of his due
.est, should play in a tired, listless and
jaded fashion.
Base ball. properly safeguarded, is q
clean, exhilarating and wholesome out
door pastime. beneficial to players and
to spectators. This fact is clearly
shown by the distinguished quality of
the weekday attendance at the East
ern league games In this city. Tho
merchants and professional men who
form the main-stay Of the base ball
business in Scranton would not display
an equal interest in iebased or de-
basing amusement. Their presence at
game Of ball is certificate Of char
acter for the pastime in question.
1t is therefore a blistering shame that
the Endorsements Of these men should

About Time to Lift the Lid.

There can be no reasonable doubt
that the object of the Scranton Traction
company's anxiety to place double
track on Franklin avenue was to es-
tablish the validity of the ilhmitable
Peoples Street Railway charter of 1866.
Had the Scranton Traction company
been successful in this purpose. 1t would
have been thenceforwlrd Independent
of councils and of the municipality Of
Scranton to the eXter. that it could
seize and occupy any ssree. within the
your leave" Thus a property now over
burdened with debt and wr..hing under
the greater burden Of none ,;oo scrupu-
lous management would have acquired,
for speculative purposes, a new lease
of life, conditioned upon the market
value of the numerous franchises hid
den in the generous phraseology Of the
aforesaid charter.
That this wholesale theft of the
streets of the city of Scranton was de-
liberately planned and plotted by the
expert schemers of the Traction COM
pany is not denied in any quarter and
had the mayor and his official advisers
not been equally alert, it might have
been consummated. There is reason to
believe that the present management OF
the Traction company, under whose ad-
ministration one of the most valuable
street railway properties in the United
States has dwindled into dimensions Of
a sickly farce had been leaning heavily
upon this audacious hope in the expec-
tation that that daring artiflce would
pull its declining trolley service out Of
its accumulating difficulties and UP on
solid ground. Now that the rights OF
the city are in fair way to a vindi-
cation in the courts, there Is curiosity
as to what will be the Traction gangs
next attempted onslaught upon the well
fare of the city.
Under these circumstances, and ac-
tuated by these lofty conceptions OF
right, it is not surprising that the pres
enE management of the Traction COM
pany should continue to oppose the
public sentiment which demands that
its inferior cars shall be equipped with
safety tenders. The sinuous means by
which ordinances aimed at the public
welfare have been put through coun-
ellis under the lash Of the Traction
company's superintendent Of legisla-
ton are only paralleled by the auda-
cious measures taken to stifie and evade
public sentiment on this point. The
citizens Of Scranton, those Of them who
yet have q lingering regard for hon
esty and equity, have been patient un-
der this miserable period Of corrupt
manipulation almost long enough. 1t
Is about time the lid were lifted from
the rottenness which owes its origin
TO Traction emissaries, and that the
pilferers and plunderers and their
tools and abettors were scourged out
of councils and elsewhere, irrespective
of consequences

Will Stand by Their PARTY,

The growing disposition Of the Re.
main in line with their party, even
should the next national convention
fail to realize the full measure Of their
expectation on the money question, Is
unquestionably wise. They are en-.
titled to present their arguments and
to do their best to carry the party over
to their point Of view; but IL they shall
fail in this missionary work, it will
be still Of more benefit to them and to
their cause to entrust Its future to Re-
publican craftsmanship and intelli-
gerce than to expect satisfactory treat
ment at the hands Of the demagogues
and the ranters who have seized upon
the sentiment for free silver for spuri-
Gus ends Of their own.
We have no doubt whatever Of the
final outcome of the present agitation
for the restoration of the worlds sill
Net W it1 oid-tAhc Pdiity Win bciu
That outcome, in our judgment, Is
bound to be successful, because the
need of it Is everywhere visible in the
instability Of values and the inequall-
ties of economic conditions arising
from the recent narrowing Of the base
Of the worlds money to single metal,
gold. The Republican party may not, a
toward the masses Of its membership
in this matter; reforms Of all kinds
move slowly. and prejudices are diff
cult to overcome. But it seems to us
that the very nature Of its composition
its fairness and its high average of
intelligence-must sooner or later open
its eyes to the grave dangers inherent
In gold monometalllsm, and cause 1t to
take advanced ground in the behalf OF
the great producing interests Of the
land.
The Republicans Of the western
states, who had thought this problem
carefully out before many Of their
facile eastern critics had got through
the primers of their education in
finance. should, therefore, be willing to
concede time for the masses to reach
an Intelligent comprehension of the
subject. Once the need Of bimetallism
is thoroughly comprehended by the
great majority of those plain citizens
of our country who have no axes to
grind, and no interests to subserve save
the best interests Of the community, we
shall have very little trouble in choos-
ing methods to bring bimetallism again
into effect. A good deal Of the WRIT

The Night Before the Dawn,

Among the notes sounded at the
various commencement exercises
throughout the land, none is more
happily conspicuous than that which
pleads for recoll from the ramifled
materialism which, in recent decades,
has done so much to corrupt and to de-
base the ideals OF our people. The
theory that results outweigh causes,
that ends Justify means. that truth and
honor and chivalry and virtue are but
relative terms. coined by men for the
better masking of their own ignoble
purposes, has been too long abroad In
the land, and has worked by far too
much real mischief. Nordau's black
picture of our age-end degeneracy Ia by
no means all eXaggeration. 1t has Its
measure Of truth-a measure uAcom-
fortably large.
One Of the best regulations Of this
pernicious philosophy that we have re-
Gently seen occurs in an address lately
delivered by George r. Peck, OF Chi
cago. before the graduating class of the
University Of Virginia, at Charlottes-
vile. We append a brief quotation,
which at least partly conveys his
thought and style:
We have had enough OF the tinkling
lutes that give out society verses; more
than enough OF the prurient novel and of
so-called studies in realism" A debased
and debasing literature is an evil sign. 1t
shows that We ought now to consult the
oracles and take note OF the future and
Its promises. There are few duties which
now more highly appeal to scholars, and
particularly TO young scholars, than the
duty of working for a better literature. If
We have followed the practical over-much,
let us consider that better view of life
which Is illumined with the things OF the
spirit. What means the revival Of civic
virtue in all parts Of our country? What
causes have brought about these uprisings
in our great cities, which have swept
away in wrathful indignation the en-
trenchments of municipal misrule? Be-
lieve me. 1t IL the awake ming Of dormant
memories; the thought which has come
again Of better days and better hopes for
the republic. 1t is the assertion of those
lofty aspirations, which, however they
may have dropped, are still alive in all
our people. New York and Chicago have
Joined hands in movement which Is in
tensely practical, but which, at the heart
Of it, is the old, the sentimental, the un-
fashionable idea that honor and honesty
and truth are good rules for right living.
Thus 1t always is. In good and In evil
times the highest appeal you can ever
make to men Is to their moral and spir-
itual natures. If our political affairs
seem dishonest and corrupt-wait. A
revolution is always at hand when 1t Is
needed.
1t is a trite but true remark that the
night IS darkest just before the dawn.
The blacklist of the prevalent unrest
among men--tha unrest which is leav-
ching theology with thinly-veiled skep-
ticism; religion with hypocrisy and
vain show Of forms; literature with
eroticism and vapidity of sentiment;
and art with silly affectation Of posi-
BILE enforcement from ethics-causes

a speedy dawning of clearer and
cleaner views Of life. its privileges, op-
portunttiss and responsibilities.

be to some extent dlshonored by the
playing, in some cities, under the East
ern leagues sanction, of Sunday games.
This practice. we are glad to say. does
not obtain In Scranton; but the Scran-
ton club, when away from home, is
sometimes required to observe it, and
this fact is continual humiliation.
We hope to see the local management
lift its voice at the next annual meet
ing Of the Eastern league In an en-
phatic denunciation of Sunday ball
playing; and We can assure it that such
a course would win it marked favor
among its Scranton patrons.

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

According 10 the Pnllauelpnll inquirer,
| a great deal of misinformation has been
printed with reference to the chairman
ship of the Republican state committee.
The talk of what this that or the other
county intends to do regarding candidates
for the place is simply waste of breath.
The counties have nothing to do with 1t.
Under the present rules of the Republican
party the state chairman is selected by
the candidates Immediately after the con-
vention has nominated them. The ques-
ton of whether B. Frank Gilkeson will
succeed himself as state chairman will de-
pend upon the candidates named by the
convention, which is to meet in Harris
burg in August. 1t Is a. fact, however,
that there has been some dissatisfaction
regarding the present chairman. 1t is al
legged that Mr.. Gilkeson has run counter to
the friends of the organization in several
cases. that he opposed the passage OF the
Penrose resolution, and that he put HIM
self in opposition to a majority of the
senators and representatives on the ques-
ton Of apportionment. This, however,
does not necessarily mean that he Is to
relinquish his position"

question In the west probably arises
from the fear which the people Of that
section have that Republicans of the
east are in full sympathy with Mr..
Cleveland's ponderous efforts to rivet
gold monometallism upon the statute
books. Nothing could be further from
the truth. The Republicans Of the east
are bimetallists: but they do not yet

of international assistance, to restore

THE WEATHER.:

THE WEATHER:
The man whose rule 1t Is to take
The weather as it comes.
Without a word Of fuss, finds life
A pudding full of plums.
He doesn't care how low or high
The mercury has got,
And even when It's mid-July,
He hardly knows It's hot.
But he who when the mercury
Goes up to eighty-flve
Makes such a fuss that everyone
Regrets that he's alive.
Thus makes himself unhappier
Than he was meant to be,
And feels the heat at seventy-two
AS If 'twere Einety-three.
So take q warning from those lines
It's good advice, though free
And when the hot days really come
Don't watch the mercury.
Just go about your daily tasks
Regardless of the heat,
And you will find that every day
Your life will grow more sweet.

WISE AND OTHERWISE.

Gresham "reminiscences still occupy the
attention Of the press. At the time Of
President Arthur's death, writes Eugene
Field In the Chicago Record. a number of
Chicago people went to New York to at
tend the funeral and among this number
were Judge Gresham and Robert II. Lin
coin. Upon the journey eastward several
Of the party fell to discussing q certain
questionable measure which was at that
time before the Illinois legislature ut
Springfield. and In the course of the dis
cussion surprise and regret were expressed
by one or another member Of the party
that Lawyer - of Chicago had gone to
Springfield and Joined the lobby in ad-
vocacy Of the questionable measure re-
ferred to. Thereupon there ensued an
argument as to the proprlety Of an attor-
ney's serving client without regard to
the justice or the dishonesty Of that
clients cause. Mr.. Lincoln took up the
cudgel quite briefly In defense Of the prop
osition that a lawyer, so long as he was
paid for his services. was justified In ad-
vocating an unrighteous cause; with ref
erence to the particular affair at Spring.
field Mr.. Lincoln saw no wrong In the part
played by the attorney therein, since the
attorney represented the interests Of q
corporation for pay and was wholly justi-
fed in SO doing, even though the cause he
advocated was prejudicial to the interests
Of the public. Judge Gresham sat in the
seat just ahead Of the party engaged in
this discussion, and 1t was observed that
he grew restless under the argument made
by Lincoln. Finally he turned about in
his seat and. facing Lincoln, he said
sternly: young man, knew your father
well and / loved him dearly. He would
never have expressed the sentiments
have just heard you express, and l am
shocked to know that 1t Is Abraham Lin
coins son who has advocated that which,
If generally approved and practiced, would
speedily result in the decentralization Of
public and private morals. Whatever
yQpr sentiments upon this subject may be
l advise you, when tempted hereafter to
utter them, to remember that YOU are
Abraham Lincolns son and keep silent"
Mr.. Lincoln made no answer to this re-
proof, but the scene was one which none
Of the many others who witnessed 1t has
ever forgotten.
