As regularly as .he tides there iecurs a great
pother as to the perishable nature OF our modern
books The paper will not last. they say. and fear
blanchcs the scientific. literary conscience IT
seems q blessing. on the whole. that the paper we
use nowadays Is of the perishable sort. No one
likes to contemplate what posterity is going TO think
of us if our contemporary novelsts and poets last
every single one Of them One or two we would like
10 have speak for us TO succeeding ages. But it is
uncomfortable TO imagine how Lewis Morris. say.
would strike the critics OF the twcntyirst century.
In TIE long run civilization will not be heart
broken because it's paper did not always last On
the other hand. the need for the preservation Of
good books Is obvious and for that Il is 10 be hoped
that wise men will go on making suggestions. The
latest ono sent by n correspondent seems ex-
tremely judicious He proposes the substitution or
vellun, for paper II he meant this to apply TO all
the books annually put In circulation. he would be
impractical of course but the beauty OF his idea
lies In It's restriction. He wants one copy OF every
new book that is sent to the Congressional Library
to be printed on vellum. This would assure per-
manent record Of everything printed iu America.
Once the world at large had adopted the idea. the
future of all modern literature would be safe.

English Comment on Bayard.

Says the London Sun: THE idea of
impeaching the American ambassador
because of some statements and opin-
ions in a speech delivered in this coun-
try, may be justified in Washington by
the eXigencies of parliamentary rules
and political warfare. but after all,
even in the ardor and stress of home
warfare, some respect Is due to the dig
nifty of a nation and to it's repute abroad;
and the dignity and repute of every
nation are inextricably bound up with
its representatives abroad. AS for Mr..
Bayard, the United States was never
represented in this country by a gentle
man who commanded more universal
respect. Kind, frank and thoughtful.
he is man who represents the very
best type of American gentlemen; and,
whatever political opponents may say
and with internal differences in the
United States we In England have
nothing to do-every American in Lon
don knows that he is representative

The Suns endorsement of Mr.. Bayard
is chivalrous; but it is personal rather
than judicial. Very different is the

The New Viaduct Ordinance,

The ordinance of Councilman oliver
proposing to submit to n vote of the
people the question of bonding the city
to the extent of $50, 900 for the purpose
of constructing viaduct on West Lack
awanna avenue, between Seventh and
Ninth streets. on property to be pur-
chased outright on the southerly side
Of the avenue, will command approval
where the original viaduct project in
vited criticism, for the reason that it
puts the matter on fair and equita BILE
business footing. The difficulty with
the original viaduct project was that it
left the question of damages open, thus
involving the city in definite possibili-
ties of litigation and expense. In the
present ordinance it Is proposed to ac-
quire the necessary property by nego-
tiation before constructing the viaduct.
thus making it possible for the city to
know in advance just how much it will
have to pay for the improvement.
If it shall prove that Mr. divers eS-
timate is sufficient to cover all the costs
in the premises. his proposition will
undoubtedly encounter general favor.
There is, among fair-minded Scranton
ians, no difference of opinion as to the
need of a viaduct over this dangerous
and much Travelled portion of West
Lackawanna avenue. 1t has been good
luck rather than anything else which
has hitherto prevented many serious
accidents at this point. In addition to
the peril now surrounding vehicles and
pedestrians, there is constantly in pros
pect the possibility of an accident to the
downward cars of the Scranton Traction
company, which a viaduct would OBJ
viate. Given a slipping of the car brakes
and a simultaneously passing train,
and we have all the elements of trag-
cdy frightful to contemplate even as a
possibility.
The impression has been studiously
fostered by certain INSCRIPTIONS poll
ticians that there exists in connection
with the present city administration a
cherished wish to oppose the viaduct
project in all It's forms. Statements to
this effect have been repeatedly circu-
lated on the West Side. and are doubt
less being made in the present mayor
atty campaign. Such representations
are gross perversions of the truth. and
reflect with anything but credit upon
those who make them. Whatever offic-
ial objection has arisen in the past to
the viaduct project has been directed.

Ought to Stand by II.

Ex-Secretary Fosters idea of raising
additional revenue is to put a dollar OF
new tax per barrel on beer. Thus"
says he, you get S2,OOO,O0o at a jump
This would so long way towards fill
ing IN the difference between our income
and our expense account. 1t would be
no political harm. either. 1t would fall
on the brewers. As tax it would never
reach the consumer. Beer glasses
would he as large for nickel as they
are today. There's plenty of profit in
beer to make room for the extra 81,
whether it be paid by the brewer or the
saloon keeper. Beer costs the saloon
man $6 barrel. He retaiis it. five cents
a glass. for $50. With such profit
81 extra on beer is the easy. natural
revenue thing to do"
The question of the harm done by
adding to the tax on beer is one which
would probably not worry the majority
of persons if they deemed it advisable
in time of peace to substitute direct for
indirect taxation. But there is reason
to believe that they do not favor any
such substitution. The present insult
riciency of the federal revenues having
been brought about by the wanton sac
riice of protective duties, it follows at
once that the one proper way to repair
the deficit is to restore the protection.
The house bill has done this. and the
Republicans in the senate and through
out the country ought to stand by it.
In at least one respect the Scranton
Poor board yesterday rcorganized just
right. Its unanimous reelection of T..
j. Lynett as secretary was a deserved
compliment to most efficient and de-
serving official

TOday'S Primaries.

1t has not been The Tribune's custom
to espouse in it's columns the cause of
any candidate or candidates for local
Office prior to the adjournment of the
nominating convention. AS rule the
duty of selecting party nominees may
safely be left without comment to the
convention. But exceptional circum-
stances justify exceptional action,
and in the present ante-convention mu-
nicipal canvass in the Republican party
in Scranton, peculiar conditions have
arisen which require treatment out of
the ordinary.
|. At the beginning of this canvass cer-
tain individuals who had for some time
been active in fighting Republican NOM
inees and in fomenting party disturb
ance met together and mapped out a
plan of campaign, ostensibly in the in
terest of Captain Mor but in reality
with view to re-establshing the cor
rupt and arbitrary domination of J. A..
Scranton. which had been practically
repudiated by the people as too
offensive for further tolerance. At Sc
cret meetings and in the columns of
Mr.. Scranton's paper false charges were
made against men of lifelong promi-
nence as Republicans and as citizens,
whose offense consisted in refusing to
be bulldozed. and ISLANDERS were uttered
of the most unjustifiable character
When it came to be not simply voicing
Of nrt,,
didates but rather an atrocious diffusion
of personal calumnies and a kind of
Guy Fawkes conspiracy of attempted
political assassination, there was left
TO self-respecting Republicans no choice
but to organize in defense. This has
been done, and ticket has been offered
for party approval containing the
names of C'l'nel f.. II. Ripple, as its
candidate for mayor: Daniel Williams
for city treasurer; and Fred j. Wild
mayer, for controller For this ticket
we invite support at today's Republi-
can primaries.
Colonel Ripple has already been tried
as mayor and his record, whether in
public or in private life, is unfamiliar
to few. Daniel Williams has been for
many years one of the staunch Repub-
licans and sturdy citizens of the West
Side, and his record, too. is known. Mr.
Widmaycr's best claim to denomination
is found in the splendid work done by
him during his first term. He has made
an irreproachable city official and not
custom merely but also merit pleads in
favor of his reelection. This is the
ticket which clean Republicanism offers
as its reply to the envious scurrility
of the independent Republican" organ
and to the misrepresentation and the
bluster of the standing malcontents
who manipulate the opposition. Let
party sentiment make an intelligent
choice.
