The Battle i'm Philadelphia.

Outside of our own local contests,
the city election which will today excite
the greatest interest is that which will
occur in Philadelphia. In liveliness it
has almost equalled a state campaign.
For more than fortnight public meet
ings have been held nightly in several
portions of the city, and these meet
ings have been addressed in a number
of instances by such men as the COVER
nor of the state and members of con-
gress from this and other states.
Preachers have preached city politics
from their pulDits; business men have
talked 1t in the counting room or on
the street and the solid and substantial
element of Philadelphia's citizenship,
not less than the purely professional
politicians, have participated actively
in the canvass for the election of a
mayor, tax receiver and councilmen.
Conservative estimates by men who
have studied the situation with expe-
rienced minds place Mr.. Warwick's plu-
rality for mayor at 10000. We should
not be surprised, however, to see 1t fall
considerably below this figure. If ex-
Governor Pattison were not, at last
recognized as nothing but william +.
Harrity partisan by the great majority
of the Independent element which was
formerly wont to praise his superior
purity and independence, he might even
be elected, thanks to the disgraceful
series OF events which eliminated in
Mr.. Warwick's nomination. But while
there Is no excuse for Republican
treachery in nominating conventions,
1t has seemed, in the closing hours of
the campaign, to clearly dawn upon the
mass OF Republican voters In Phiadel-
phia that, in disciplining their own
leaders, they could hardly afford to turn
their city over to the partisan manipu-
lation of Democratic politician OF the
caliber of Chairman Harrity.
Throughout the exciting canvass 1t
Is pleasure to reflect that no derog-
atory word has been spoken concern
ing the Republican candidate. There
were many who thought as matter
of politics, that the manner in which
that nomination came to him was un-
fortunate. and these persons have
frankly said so. But no one has ques-
toned Mr.. Warwicks ability or his
integrity; and very few have believed

Protect the Trolley MotOrman.

Philadelphia Inquirer: 1t Is the duty of
the present legislature to enact law
which viii afford protection for the mo-
tormen in the winter of 1885, The rural
legislator will not have much trouble to
understand the motormen's sufferings IL
he will conceive himself standing upon an
open sled without Il single wrap about
him and speeding against the gales at the
rate of ten or twelve miles an hour, and
doing this all day or until overcome.
Many of the men so exposed will die in
consequence, and the lives of others will
be shortened. In the days of slavery,
when a man could be sold for $500 or 81, 900,
no slave owner would have thought Of
subjecting his property to such risks.
The state should step in to prevent a
formal corporation cruelty which any self
respecting individual would be ashamed
to countenance, and which in no civil
lied community should be tolerated

sent, not our wisdom, but our business.
They are the reflex of the people they rep
resent; no better and certainly no worse.
Those whose interest lies in the direction
of good government alone often know
not which way to turn, and at last fall
back on the time-honored anathema-
"A plague on both your houses!"
In this degree Republican government
has failed. For this failure there Is again
but one remedy-education. If the people
are to rule us, the people must be wise.
We must have in every community men
trained in social and political science. We
must have men with the courage of their
convictions, and only the educated man
has any real convictions. We must have
men who know there Is a right to every
question as well as many wrongs We
must have men who know what this right
is or, If not knowing, who know how the
right may be found. Very few men ever
do that which they know and really be-
lieve to he wrong. Most wrong doing
comes from belief that there is no right,
or that right and wrong are only relative.

Here Is Sound Doctrine.

In an interview with a representative of
the New York World Edward Lauterbach,
chairman of the New York Republican
county committee. has this to say con-
cernng the duty of American citizens: 81
believe 1t to be the duty of every citizen
to devote as much time, energy and zeal to
the interests of the political party In
whose principles he believes as may be
possible for him. To refrain from active
participation in the effort to obtain good
government in the nation, in the state and
in municipal affairs by any member of this
great republic Is to shrink "A manifest duty
which the privilege of American citizen
ship justly imposes. Self-lnterest and
private affairs must yield, to some extent
at least. to any legitimate call for u rem
dition of service in the public interests,
whenever 1t shall be demanded. whether
the call be to arms, performance of jury
duty, or, as in the case you speak of, in
arraying ones self more or less promi-
nently with Others in securing good gov
ernment and in sweeping from place those
unfit to occupy It,"

the assertions of the Harrity opposition
that he would, if elected mayor, be the
servant of any save the people or that
he would prove recreant to the lofty
principles of honorable independence

ceptance. Mr.. Warwick's election
would be as much a source of gratifica-
tion as his defeat by Mr.. Harrity would
be a national misfortune.

contemplated in the Brown bill No
doubt the commonwealth would in
time find $5,OO0OO0, honestly expended
in wise highway improvement, a high
ly profitable investment, were the
means for such an investment within
reach. In the absence of the available
ity of so much money, however, $500, 900
will suffice to make the start, and that
is all important.
One Of the most peculiar features of
this movement for better roads is the
evident opposition to it which comes
from the very men who would instant
ly derive benefit, that is to say, the
farmers. Whether they have not yet
been persuaded as to the desirab bility
OF superior outlets for the produce of
their farms, or whether their antagon-
ism rests on an innate inability to
trace the connection between an extra
mill of taxation and the consequent
penny of returned advantage, it is in
either case true that the farmers are
quietly opposing good roads upon the
plea of excessive cost. They will be
more willing to accept the Hastings
compromise, we imagine, than to ac-
cept any of the four or five bills which
it seeks to combine into one. Stragetic-
ally. therefore, as well as financially
the governors proposition appears de-
sirable.
Good roads are bound to come some
day. Why not start them now, 50 that
the present generation will have rea-
sonably good prospect of living long
enough to see and to enjoy them?
If Pattison is licked today as badly
as the signs indicate, there will soon

Judge HandIey'S Will.

While the late Judge Handley's will
remembers two deserving local socie
ties, the bulk of the wealth distributed
by it reverts to the city of Winchester,
Va, where it will found magnificent
free public library. For this result the
city of Scranton, in which 4 great part
of that wealth was accumulated, has
only itself to blame. 1t persisted in
misunderstanding Judge Handley, and
when it disagreed with him, vented its
prejudice in a cheap form of small re-
Venge. The insult ranked; and in his
will the judge took cognizance of it.
A good sermon could be preached
from this pregnant text taken from the
book of real life. But sermons, as ser
mons, are often Stunned, Il fact suf-
1lcient to discourage any tendency TO
utter one on the present occasion. The
smallness of the deed which aroused
John Handley's indignation was in no
sense typical of the true genius of the
city, Notwithstanding the fact that it
was ratified by a number of local Of
llCldlS WHO III lHSCIs put IA
fact misrepresented the city. Hence If
Judge Handley had with magnanimity
forgiven it he would have shamed the
workers of the original affront and
added largely to the kind regard en-
tertained for his memory by the few
persons who enjoyed an intimate knowl-
edge of the man.
There will, however, be no lack Of
warmth or sincerity in Scranton's mes
sage of congratulation to Winchester,
Notwithstanding that Winchester's gain
is in all probability Scranton's loss. The
inhabitants of that handsome Virginia
city may now know something of the
intellectual pleasures which Scranton
ians have experienced since the estab-
lishment in this city of the Albright
Memorial Free library. So far from be-
grudging them this prospect, We share
in their satisfaction at it, and trust that
the ethical lesson of the original incl
dent to which this bequest is probably
due will be adequately conned by the
voters in this city who will today, in
several wards, choose representatives in
councils.
