was one cOntlnu2I deOauch ana
more than one case of the .jim-
jams" was reported. 1t would be
a very hard matter for the Master
Hand of all mischief, himself, to
devise scheme that could make
politics any more corrupt than it
is.
Mr.. MonJeath, let US whisper a
word in your ear. Touch and re-
touch your bill until you have made
evasion of its provisions practically
impossible.
If the present regime of.political
corruption is allowed to exist, Gov.
Waite was not far wrong when he
recommended that hardened crimi-
nails should be compelled to run for
Office. Morality has been COM
pletely eliminated from politics. A
notion has arisen and obtained con-
siderable control of the popular
mind that all things are right and
justifiab'e for a candidate to do. 1t
is held that politician is not
morally responsible. 1t is a de-
plorable fact that some of them are
not. A political lie or political
theft is not looked upon as sin. If
one man steals the horse of another
man, it is a crime, but if he steals
a nomination or an election, no
blame attaches. In the one case,
it is stealing from an individual
in the other, from community.
In the one case, it ia horse worth
fifty dollars; in the other, an office
worth, perhaps, two thousand dol
lars a year. The greater the Of
tense; the less is the moral turpi-
tude. On that hypothesis, the
most hardened criminal should be
compelled to run for the highest
office.
This country is supposed to be
governed by the popular will. Its
offices are supposed to be filled by
the peoples choice. Yet this is not
the case. If one were to 60 around
like census enumerator, and in.
quire of every individual his prefer.
ence, it would be found that very
few OF our county, state or national
officers we're those whom the peo
pie wanted. With money, OF
whiskey, a candidate can secure q
nomination when he is not the
choice of more than fifty men o.
his own party. Party men vii
then vote for him because he il
their party nominee and not be
cause he is, in any sense, thei1
choice.
Our political methods have be
come so corrupt that it often hap
pens that the defeated candidate i.
the real one whom the popular will
untrammeled, would have placed il
office. Corrupt political practices
are subversive of the very founda
tions of our government. 1t is {
grand commentary upon republi
) can institutions that they hav'
been able to withstand the fou
waves of corruption and not perish
f ed from the face of the earth.
Mr.. Monteath's bill has come il
, the fulness of time. 1t is the en-
, tering wedge. 1t is the frs
bright ray of dawn which pene
. trates the darkness of politlca
fraud. Those who do not believ

accomplished by an unexpected tidal
wave, or an unfortunate nomination by
the opposite party; or by fraud, 1t would
be long stride toward despotic mon

COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
4 Good Republican Ono II.

Pittsburg Times: The state conven-
ton of Republican clubs was just what It
ought to be TO be a prophet of Repub-
lcan victory. by Republican victory in
Pennsylvania Is meant more than merely
electing the ticket. We have set the
standard high, and we must elect it by 4
majority which will send a thrill of en-
couragement through the party the coun-
try over, as did the majorities for Hast
ings and for Grow. The Republican clubs
can greatly help to do this. They have
made a good beginning at York. The at
tendance was larger, more representative,
from larger number of clubs and a
wider area of the state, than ever be-
fore. The spirit of the gathering could
not have been better. There was no b.ck-
ering or contention, no rival candidates.
even, which makes the exceptional at
tendance more remarkable. Taking 1t all
together, the York convention ought to
ease the nerves of the party scare-crows
who made their own shadows tremble all
summer with predictions Of the ruin in
which the recent contest which culmin-
ated at Harrisburg was about to bury tho
party. The Republican party in Pennsyl-
van.a will take a heap of burying."

that poor l.tigants may not lose working

An Inhuman Pavement.

A recent number of the Engineering
Record contained n discussion of san
itary pavements which might we'll have
been written with Scranton's rotten
wooden block abominations directly in
mind. ''The fact has long been known
among sanitary engineers" 1t says.
that street washings are no improve
ment in character over ordinary sew
age and occasionally the latter liquid
may have the advantage. Single block
pavements, as ordinarily laid, are full
of openings between the blocks, which
persistently hold dirt saturated with
the foul liquids of the street, and under
the action of the sun the most UNI
wholesome vapors are constantly being
discharged into the atmosphere, How
ever we'll laid such pavements may
be, these unsanitary conditions are
constantly being created with more or
less activity; good work will only to
a small extent remedy the evil. The
continuation of these circumstances
year after year extends the foul satur-
alton to the earth under the pavement
and intensifes the pollutng effects of
the whole mass on the atmosphere. 1t
is not q matter of wonder. then, that
the grip. pneumonia, and other diseases
of a similar character produce such
ravages in large cities. Nor can there
be any change in results until there
is a change in the conditions from
which these unhealthy influences ema-
nate. and that change can most easily,
if not only, be brought about by an i'm
pervious pavement kept clean.''
This condemnation has all the more
emphasis in view of the fact that it
had immediate reference to single
block stone or brick pavements such
as are common in New York. Could
the Engineering Record have realized
that in any American city of conse-
quence which claimed to be progress
sive there would, at this late day, be
seen in central business streets such
horrible spectacle of undisguised filth
ana nastlneSS as stareS up at one along
Spruce street, between Penn and Wyo-
ming, it would no doubt have been
beggared and bankrupted of its stock
of denunciatory adjectives. Here is a
thoroughfare in the very heart of our
city that stinks like a slaughter house
and looks like swine's wallowing
ground, and yet it is tolerated from
month to month and from year to year
because nobody seems to have suf-
ficient pride in the city's appearance
to move for it's correction.
When the new Jermyn hotel shall
have been completed, will guests have
to be ferried across Spruce street in
rainy weather or disinfected after bat
tling with its slop and mire?
