Get After the Speak.Easies.

Judge Gunsters pointed remarks to
the grand jury yesterday ought to have
a wholesome effect upon the morals of
the community; but it was not the first
wise delIverance of it's kind from a
Lackawanna bench, and may eventuate
no better than its predecessors. The
law, Of course. assumes that the liquor
seller who thinks it worth while to APP
ply for a license will think it worth
paying for, when granted But So long
as GEO other dealers get along apparent
ly very well without licenses, why
should the 500 or more successful appli-
cants mulct themselves for nothing?
1t IS this glaring discrepancy between
the laws theory and the laws practice
In this county which knocks the whole
bottom out of the high license system.
Forcing one man to pay $500 for the
privilege of selling liquor next door to
a liquor seller of equal publicity who
doesn't pay a cent except to Uncle Sam
of injustice, any way you look at it.
The high license system may work ad-
mirably where it is enforced admira bly,:
but in this vicinity it's workings can be
called by no other honest name than
gigantic farce.
We have no doubt that County Detec-
tive Leyshon will do, as he promises to
do. his level best to uproot violations
Of the Brooks law in this county; but so
long as those violations are grounded
In the utter inadequacy and unreliable
ity Of the present constabulary system,
one mans efforts, however earnest,
necessarily count for little. We hope
that Judge Gunster will fulfil his threat
Of breaking up the speak easies;" the
task Is large enough to command his
best energies and most heroic determl-
nation.

A Campaign of Education.

Interest in the silver problem In
ginning to discuss 1t. Public speakers
are getting ready to take the stump In
exposition of it. A national campaign
IS only a trfle more than one year dis
tant; and in that campaign the silver
problem Is expected by many to play an
important, If not a decisive part. Here
tofore, the majority of persons have
been content, in Pennsylvania, at least,
10 accept their opinions on this ques-
tion "ready made" Prominent news
papers, of either party classification,
have been in the habit of saying that a
gold basis was the proper one; and their
readers have been in the habit of be-
Neving this, whether they knew why or
not. There has been very little original
inquiry worthy Of the name; and such
as there has been has received, as its
reward, popular derislon and some
times abuse.
1t should therefore be a cause for gen.
eral congratulation that this unsatls-
factory state Of the public mind is to
give way to campaign of education.
We are not of those who hold that 1t is
treason to hear more than one side OF
an issue of the day. Let that narrow
view be discarded. Let us look at the
silver issue fully and fairly, hoping. IL
possible, to derive Improvement from
the scrutiny. This should be the spirit
in which to enter upon the forthcoming
discussion of this subject. 1t will be
time enought to become dictatorial and
intoisrant when we shall really have
some grounds for the setting forth Of
positive convictions based on real
knowledge Of the principles involved.
1t might be well. in the same connec-
tion, to bear another thought in mind.
1t might be well to credit the gentlemen

For the Judges Retiring BilI.g

Speaker Walton and other Philadelphia
members are working hard for the Ritter
bill retiring Judges on full pay after they
have been on the bench for twenty years
and have reached the age of 20. The law
would only affect Judges Hare, Finletter
and Wilson, of Philadelphia. Some of the
country members are opposed to the bill
because they think some day they will
have worn out justices on their hands.
Judge Archibald, of Lackawanna, was here
on Friday, promised to support the meas
ure and 1t Is likely the entire delegation
from his county will vote for the bill
Most of the Allegheny county members
are IN favor of the bill. Judge Archibald,
by the way, has turned in for II. N. Will
lard for the superior judgeshp and has
written letter of Endorsement to the
governor. Major Warren was slated for
Judge advocate general on Hastings staff
but the appointment of willard woIld
send this Office to another district.

The girl to whom this day first brought

fondness for birthday presents. ice cream,
mustaches and matinees. She Is also pre-
disposed to ask the question, "ls my hat

One happy circumstance for the boy
born on this day Is that should he not be-
come president he can at least be right.

Need of Charter Amcndme mt.

The bill of the McKeesport gentle
lines of government of cities of the
second class, will, of course, fail Of
passage. If introduced seriously in the
first place, 1t has not been seriously re-
ceived and would, If pushed to an issue,
be overwhelmingly defeated. Nor Is it
likely that the present legislature
would view more favorably modlfca-
tions which are needed in the present
scheme of government for cities of the
third class. But this negative temper
in the legislature is no fair Indication
that the people themselves are indlffer-
ent to the faults Of the municipal act
of 1889.
in q recent editorial we took the po-
sition that dual council was drag to
| efficient city government; and that an
act should be passed vesting the legis-
| lative function in q single, paid coun-
| Gil, of one member to every 1900 or 1000
legal voters, such members to be
elected at large, irrespective of ward
pulls" scandals or greed. This idea
has received much favorable mention.
Thus far, nobody has advanced an OBJ
lection to it. II there are real objec-
tions to our proposition. we should feel
thankful for their Identification be-
cause this Is subject sure sooner or
later to occupy a large share of the
public's attention.
Along with the discarding Of the cum
bersome double councils In favor of a
compact and efficient paid single coun-
ell there needs to be an extension Of the

Rogers for Judge Advocate General.

Colonel John /. Rogers, of Philadelphia,
Is now looked upon as the probable win
ner in the judge advocate general race
He Is a Democratic, but a warm friend Of
the governors. lie held the same position
on Pattison's staff for brief period
Three days after the election of Cleveland
Colonel Roberts wrote to Pattlson asking
for his support In securing the Office Of
surveyor of the port at Philadelphia. Pat
tison replied that he would do all In his
power to help the colonel. Rogers then
wrote to different members of the guard
asking for their Endorsement, saying he
had the support of their commander-ln-
chief. When Pattison heard of this lie
came out in n newspaper interview deny
ing he had offered to aid the Philadel-
phian. Colonel Rogers printed the letter
from Pattison and then resigned from his
staff.

Good Work In the City Solicitorship.

When the present city solicitor as
sumed that office, there was in exist
ence among its records. no docket of
suits against the city; and. in order to
prepare one it was necessary for him
to go back over all the court records,
for from twelve to fifteen years. The
result is a complete docket of all suits
that found their way into court. Byturn-
ing to this docket, 1t can be seen at
glance just where the city 'is' and
was "at."
Another difficulty which confronted
Mr.. Torrey at the beginning of his term
was the chaotic condition of the city
lien docket. In order to straighten this
out, the most painstaking examination
and comparison of papers and accounts
were required, during which more than
1000 liens were found which, although
not satisfied of record, had actually
been paid during preceding years.
The records, in the past two years. have
been made to agree with the facts.
During Mr.. Torrey's term the legal
requirement that city collections be
made at least once every thirty days
has been scrupulously complied with,
and collection docket opened as a
basis Of such reports. The first year of
his tenure, although largely occupied
with unraveling the tangled records of
the office, witnessed the collection, in
this manner, of $4,000; thus far this
year about So, 900 has been collected.
one of the most valuable achieve
ments of Mr.. Torrey's term has been
his preparation and publication of q
thorough digest of the laws and ordin-
ances of the city. Hitherto, the only
publication of this character had con-
tanned merely the ordinances-at-large
in Mr.. Torrey's compilation all these
ordinances We're digested, making an
invaluable reference book for both city
officials and individual citizens.
In the matter of damage claims, the
city is now, unfortunately, paying the
penalty of past folly, in the unraveling
of ordinances by the same master hand
that once framed them subject to easy
undoing. Nevertheless, these claims
have been resisted vigorously by the
present solicitor; and in many cases
successfully. In prompt responses to
all requests from councils and heads of
departments for information, Mr.. Tor
rey has established a new order of
things; nor have his responses been
equivocal or uncertain. In short, it has
been his aim, without blow or bluster,
to put the affairs of the city solicitor
ship strictly and squarely upon a busi-
ness basis, SO that the city might get
an honest and thorough return for its
expenditures in it's maintenance.
We cannot believe that this excel
lent work on Mr.. Torrey's part will
fall short of proper appreciation.

The Gnrh Iiill Again.

The Junior Order United American Me-
chanics of the state does not like the
amendment to the garb bill by Senator
Finn. 1t puts the responsibility on the
school board employing the teacher wear
ing religious garb. Before the blame
was on the teacher and that Is the way
they want the bill to remain. They have
secured the aid of the Knights of the
Golden Eagle and there are 10000 of them
in the state. There are about $4,000 Junior
Mechanics in Pennsylvania. The Senior
order of Mechanics, numbering 50C00
more, and the Patriotic Sons of America,
with membership of CO.O00. are also in
sisting on the passage of the bill in It's
original shape. The Mechanics have es-
tabllshed headquarters In this city and are

The privilege Of appeal is one which
may often be grossly abused, with a
view to thwarting justice instead Of
promoting 1t; but it is nevertheless one
that few American litigants are willing
to surrender. The action of the Tioga
bar association in proposing, in place Of
the contemplated Superior court that
common pleas courts be invested with
the power of final decision in all cases
involving $500 or less, does not, there
fore, coincide with either public opinion
or public interest. The size of most
common pleas dockets effectually pre-
vents that exhaustive consideration of
each case which, in the opinion of a
large percentage OF litigants, is neces-
sary to inspire cheerful acqulescence in
an adverse verdict. Hence the need Of
an appellate tribunal.

who hold opinions different from our
own with at least fraction of as much
sincerity and honor as we claim for our
selves. This, in addition to being just,
will have the tendency to sweeten the
atmosphere and to keep back disagree
able clouds. The "argumentum ad epi
thstem."if that phrase maybepardoned,
seldom changes convictions, and often
intensifles them. In anticipation of a
somewhat spirited rhetorical clash over
the future of the white metal in this
country, 1t will do no harm to get in
position for a good-natured view of the
fray; and to remember, from first to
last, that calling the opposition harsh
names never once won a convert.

powers of the executive. No mayor of
third class city ought to have his
official hands tied by councils as they
are tied under the act of 1889. The
mayor should possess the power of ap-
pointment and removal over the de-
partments in the city government save
only the departments OF auditing and
finance. He should name his legal ad-
wiser, have sovereign Jurisdiction over
health boards, street commissioner,
police, engineer and the various ad-
minlstrative commissions; and, once
clothed in that authority, he should be
held rigidly responsible. That would
enable citizens to know precisely where
to place the praise or the blame. 1t
would do away entirely with miscon-
ceptions or evasions.
The change thus proposed Is a radi-
cal one: but If the mayor of II city. di-
rectly elected by its citizens, Is not to
be trusted, who Is?
