MAYOR TAKES A HAND.

Saturday was Moving Day for the crys'
tai Hose Compauy-City Executive
Takes Decisive Action.
It appears that whatever furniture
and furnishings had been put In the
quarters Of the Crystal Hose company,
on Linden street, were purchased by
the members personally. They have
sought reimbursement from the city.
and to that end Common Councilman
Robert Robinson introduced an ordin-
ance not very long ago, providing Tor
the purchase by the city Of the prop
erty in the Crystal engine house from
the company.
The measure was killed and this
caused the Crystals to take onense.
The thing came to head on Saturday
afternoon, when draymen pulled up to
the Crystal house door to move every
thing but the engine, hose carriage and
white team. Bunks. desks. carpets,
door springs. chandeliers, sliding poles.
chairs, etc. were bundled up first-of-
April-like and got ready for hauling
off.
Chief Of Police Simpson took a stroll
around to see the farce-comedy, anu
went to Mayor Connell with the news.
His honor lost no time in getting
around and the curtain was about ris-
ing on the last act; not all Of the prop
erty was got out. Mayor Connell took
in the situation at glance. and In Ian
guage not very poetic but unmistak-
ably emphatic. ordered the Crystals to
bundle the rest Of their baggage and
get out.
The two permanent men. John Lilly
and Isaac Tice. had not whereon to lay
their heads when the night came, but
Chief Engineer H. F. Ferber sent a
bed for them to sleep on. The action

ment in the Sunday papers to the effect
that on his return to Scranton Saaur-

worse in Mr.. Mckinney condition. DR..
Gibbons said:
An Emphatic Denial.

M,KINLEY'S ERROR.
A Condition Brought About by High
Tariff LeGlslael0n.

A Condition Brought About by High
Tariff Legislation.
Gov. Mckinley, of Ohio, the putative
author of the Mckinley bill, says the
way to maintain the gold reserve in the
treasury is to stop the deficit in the
revenues. This is q strange PROPOSE
ton coming from that source. From
the close of the war until the Mckinley
law became operative there was no def
cit in the revenues. From that time
until tho day the bill was repealed
there was nothing else,
At the close Of Cleveland's first term
in the presidency, March 4, 1880, there
was q surplus in the treasury of more
than one hundred million dollars, and
q revenue redundancy that excited tho
concern Of the craftsmanship OF the
country. But in 1890 the Mckinley
law was enacted, and the condition
was changed. In three years the sur
plus was exhausted, md instead, there
was q treasury deficit amounting to
more than fifty million dollars In
other words, the revenue deficit
amounted to more than fifty million
dollars a year under the Mckinley law
For Gov. Mckinley to comment IN
the language imputed to him In regard
to the revenue deficit Is, therefore, to
set him down as q montebank. Under
the circumstances he should be modest
and silent. It does not 10y in his
mouth to censure anyone. Whatever
evils the treasury hos encountered
| in tho last five years are attributable
| to his bungling and to no other cause.
