To the Memory of Honorable T. l.. Nugent.
Hark. what low. pathetic anthems I'LL the air,
And mingle holy reverence with tho breeze,
And touch the heart with sacred, gentle care
That gives a moment earthly sorrows ease:
'Tis the chanting OF an angel-spirit throng.
Which from the pearly gate OF heaven de
sceuded
To rescue from the shades OF worldly wrong
chosen child. Gods altar to attend.
And as they come within the death chilled
room,
Hovr ring DER the silent form upon the bed.
They pause and note the shade OF sorrows
gloom
Which grieves the heart and bows the wild
owed head.
They faulter. ere they check the ebbing tide,
And pity her with smiles of angel beauty.
And soothe her with his last words ere he died
Family spoken, L have tried to do my duty"
Yes forever will that noble utterance be
A comfort and balm unto her heart;
Aud his fearless faith and deep sincerity
Showed his life had always been q soldiers

He leaves behind a host OF weeping friends
And followers who greatly feel his loss.
The sighs of many lonely heart attends
The neeing Of his spirit to the cross.

The Viaduct Not Dead.

We do not see why there should have
been objection to the submission to
popular vote of the question whether
the city shall incur new indebtedness
for West Side viaduct. 1t is the ref
erendum in practice and would have
left the taxpayers Of the city free to
decide the essential point at issue in
accordance with their own wishes.
1t is true that the viaduct proposition
was voted down only year ago; but it
Is also true that it was then subordin-
ated in the public mind to bitter mayor.
atty struggle and did not receive a fair
hearing before the people. This COM
ing February election would have en-
abled the public to pass upon 1t in COM
parative freedom from distracting par
allel issues; and the decision thus rem
dered would doubtless have been final.
The viaduct is an admitted necessity
provided IL can be built within reason
able cost and without working too
much hardship to property interests
along its route. The new plan of pur-
chasing a right Of way on the south
ern side of West Lackawanna avenue
between Seventh and N pth streets
obviates past objections and offers a
practicable, advantageous and effective
public protection against the dangers
to which drivers and pedestrians are
now liable ats this point by reason of
the numerouS railway surface cross
ings.
The viaduct is not dead. 1t will yet

An important Opinion. .

We print elsewhere substantially
the complete text of the recent decision
of Judge Mcpherson, of Dauphin coun-
try, confirming the Scranton Gas and
Water company in it's right to build
storage reservoirs near Gouldsboro' and
fill them from the Iehigh river in times
Of freshet and high water. The de-
cision is notable not only for its prac-
tical importance to this city in insur-
ing at all times an abundant supply
OF pure water. but also for it's lucid and
sensible determination Of certain legal
points which had never hitherto been
raised in an eastern court
These points may be defined in the
courts language as follows: First:
Does mere riparian ownership JUSTIFY
the owner in diverting q part Of the
flood-waters Of a stream and carrying 1t
elsewhere for consumption, so long as
the quantity diverted is too small to
affect even slightly the rights Of Others?
And, second: May this diversion and
consumption be authorized under a
being navigahle. the grantee being a
corporation supplying water to a city,
and the quantity taken being inappreci-
able by the persons complaining? The
opinion of the court as to the first point
is that the analogies Of this branch OF
the subject are against an affirm
ative answer. although the court
comedies that such non-riparian use OF
flood water merely as does no injury to
lower owners presents points worthy OF
further consideration. The decision on
the second question is emphatically IN
the affirmative and In his elaboration
of it-which ought on account OF its
thoroughness to interest laymen as well
as jurists-he certainly establishes an
unassailable precedent.
The victory of the local company Is
very largely triumph for its indomit-
able president, w. w. Scranton, but
indirectly it is victory by which every
resident of this city Is benefited.

THE NEXT SENATOR.

From the Harrisburg Patriot.
senator Penrose's claims for a seat In
the United States senate are set forth In
an interview given out last evening from
his headquarters by Senator Thomas. ut

the commonwealth Irrespective Of political
parties" said Senator Thomas. that the
next United States senator should come
from Philadelphia. believe that the best
equipped man by reason Of his education,
his experience as a legislator and his un-
fiinching devotion to the doctrine Of pro-
lection to American labor is Boies PEN
rose. He will be supported by majority
of the members of the legislature from
Philadelphia and he won before the peo-
pie as an avowed candidate for the United
States senate. Some of the tactics em-
ployed against him were the most das-
tardly ever used against a candidate in
the history Of politics Of Pennsylvania.
but Notwithstanding these unscrupulous
methods, he received the endorsement Of
the people of Philadelphia as represented
by majority of the members Of the leg
isiature from that city.

Senator Penrose possesses every
qualification for becoming a great states
