An Interesting Temperance Bill.

The passage by the Indiana assembly,
by a vote of 70 to 20, OF the Nicholson
temperance bill Is n circumstance worth
keeping in mind. That bill provides that a
certain community will prevent one
being established there for two years.
1t also provides against music In sa-
looms. A saloon cannot be run In con-
nection with any other business, n di-
rect blow at the restaurant with bar
attachment. The bill likewise. does
away with screens, and all saloons
must be operated on the first floor, u
provision to knock out wine rooms,
The logic OF the bill Is obvious. Under
the high license idea. saloons are L.
cenaed by the state because they are
necessities. That is, they are requisite
to the quenching OF thirst which, "

would violate law In order to obtain
alcoholic drink, This Is the theory OF
high license. The Indiana assembly, In
passing the foregoing restrictive meas

necessities, they should be operated as
such, and not transformed into !,iy-
uries. II the business Is strictly leglu.

Why Not Unite L?

The varied uses of electricity, the es-
tablishment and success of the corre-
spending schools, the publication of
such a journal as the Colliery Engineer,
and the various new manufacturing
establishments in this city, are calling
among us a large and constantly in
creasing number of scientific men, and
awakening among our citizens gener-
ally an interest in scientific matters.
Science is subject of conversation in
office, store. workshop, home, school,
and on the street. The advantage Of
living in the midst of the great anthra-
cite field affords an opportunity for re-
search in certain archaeological lines
such as probably is not to be found
anywhere else on earth.
The great Lacoe collection of coal
plants, now the property of the Ma
tlonal Museum at Washington, Is un-
doubtedly the most extensive and valu-
able Of the kind In existence, and 1t has
been accumulated in this very coal
field. Why should not the scientific
men Of Scranton and vicinity under the
stimulus of this incentive, form them
selves into an academy of science,
and work together for the advance
ment of the various lines of physical
and natural science in which they may
be interested? If our columns can be
used to advance any effort toward the
establishment of such an organization,
they are at the service of persons thus
interested.

A New Cure for Strikes.

In the Social Economist for March
appears a somewhat novel study of the
Strike problem In two pages of prefa-
tory remarks, the dangers of strikes to
the public welfare are outlined. and the
principle of the absolute equality before
the law of organizations of both labor
and capital is enunciated. Then we
come to the articles novelty. Recog-
nizing that the interests and therefore
the rights of the public are greater than
those of either laborers or capitalists,
the author believes consequently that
their conduct must be subordinate to
the interests and decisions of society.
In order to bring this about he would
require both laborers and capitalists,
in the event of arising differences to
treat each with the other by means Of
delegates, and would ordain that If
any strike or public disturbance results
from the refusal Of either party to
recognize the rights of the other so to
act collectively through their represen-
tatives. the party so refusing shall be
held responsible for all costs and dam
ages to the full extent of their prop
erty.'
In order to facilitate this intercom-
munication between capitalists and la
borers, the author suggests that in ad-
dition to the two classes Of organiza-
tions now in vogue, including the work
ers, on the one hand, and the owners
and managers of capital on the other,
third, or mutual union, to be COM
posed of an equal number of representa-
tives of both employers and laborers
in the industry or district represented.
Before a change in wages or conditions
be demanded in any shop. the subject
is to be referred to this bipartisan in
dustrial senate, whose decision would,
the author fondly believes, prevent a
rupture nine times out of ten. 1t would,
he adds, bring about better under
standing between employers and en-
ploye, tend to check the growth of pas
Sion and to promote that of reason, and
lead by quick stages to a more har-
monious relationship all around. there
by gradually doing away with both the
cause and the costly effect of the strike
as a class weapon.
The foregoing are the salient features
Of an interesting, but unfortunately
anonymous article. Its author, we fear,
is too idealistic. He does not appear to
make proper allowance for the fact that
the inequality at present existing be-
tween employers and employees In the
large industries has not been caused
altogether by the former class, In a
wanton spirit of heartlessness; but that
not a little of 1t has been due to the
manipulation of the latter by cunning
men who, after planting the seeds of
unrest among them, have carefully
forced its growth until it has landed
these men, otherwise known as agita-
tors. tree-high in well-salaried positions
OF influential command. There is, be-
tween employers and agitators, a ma
tural and apparently an irreconcilable
conflict, which, IL 1t did not prevent the
practical realization of our authors
neatly planned Industrial senate, would
probably soon turn that senate into a
forum Of worse than Populistlc blat-
ancy and demagogic jargon.

1t Is Their Own Affair.

From the Philadelphia Press.
There is no particular demand for new
counties in Pennsylvania, but II the peo-
pie in the southern part of Luzerne and
the northern part of Schuylkill want to
enjoy the dignity of a new county, and are
willing to be taxed to build a court house
and jail, and to support an equipment of
county officials within narrower terri
tory than at the present time, 1t appears to
be a matter of much concern to those re-
siding In portions of the two counties not
to be included In the new organization. 1t
will cost a. good deal Of money to get the
new county started. and u good deal TO
keep IL going after 1t Is started, but none
of it will have to be paid by those who are
left outside its limits.

sent more sustained and convincing
evidence than at present that he is

The Philadelphia Times intimates
that recent fires in this city indicate
inefiiciency and Indifference on the part
of the Scranton volunteer fire depart

ion. A volunteer service is under no
circumstances so good as a good paid
service; and that is why we want a
paid service for Scranton But it would
be poor return to the volunteer fire

50 generously done, to accuse them Of

The Harrisburg Patriot is inclined
to agree with us that the hanging of
murderers does not deter men from
committing other murders. 1t remarks
IAN examination of statistics Of homi-
cides in the United States for some
years past is somewhat startling. In
uSS6 there were 1.449 murders and homl-
cides and eighty-three legal executions.
In1Ss7there were 2, ,335murdershnd homi-
cides and only seventy-nine legal exc
cutions. Since that year the number
Of killings has steadily Increased until
last year they numbered more than
5000, while there were 1876 legal execu-
tions. In other words murders and
homicides In nineye increased 800 per
cent, while in the same period exc
cutions increased only. 100 per cent"

There is considerable quiet talk in and
about the capital as to the likelihood that
Governor Hastings may blossom forth as
a presidential candidate. The comment
Is generally favorable; and those who are
especially outspoken in the governors be-
half point to the coincidence that at no
previous national convention of the Re-
publican party where as many as three
avowed candidates of international re-
nown started In with determined follow
lngs has any of them been nominated.
The conventions which resulted i'm the
nomination of Hayes and Garfield Instant
ly occur to mind, and these are cited as
sufficient to Justify the belief that Penn
sylvania, with its phenomenal majority OF
last fall, may yet supply the next pres-
dent. The governor, 1t Is understood,
while not worrying about this contin-
gency. is naturally not displeased that his
name should attract favorable comment
In connection with an office to which any
citizen may with pride aspire.

that If you give mans Christian name

are thirsty can get drink and be done
with 1t by paying the fiat price.
This view is not wanting in common
sense. If one accepts the license idea
at all: that is to say, If one comedies,
at any point in the argument, that
saloons are essential to the welfare Of
the community and that the state may
usurp and sub-lease the monopoly Of
the saloon business. then there is in
stantly much to be said in favor of
putting that business on precisely the
same footing. before the community, oc-
cupied by the music business. the gro
Gerry business, the clothing business or
any other legalized form of commercial
enterprise. Take down the screens, re-
move the paint from the windows and
let in the light of day. That ought not
to hurt proper business; it ought
rather to help it.
