Thnt !TeIephone .Ordlnance.

1t is difficult to understand why se-
lect council should have declined on
Thursday. night to accept Mr. Sander
sons amendment to the Roche conduit
franchise ordinance. In Its original
form the ordinance gave to the Central
Pennsylvania Telephone company an
unlimited free permission to use any
street, either for overhead or conduit
wires. and made no specification that
where conduits are laid, the overhead
wires shall come down. Mr. Sander
sons amendment aimed simply to bind
the Telephone company to the terms of
the verbal representations made by it;
namely, that where conduits were laid
it would at once take all its overhead
wires down. The defeat of this
amendment puts the city literally at
the telephone company's mercy.
1t may be asked why would the Cen
trail Pennsylvania Telephone company
go to the trouble of laying conduits and
then not use them? But this question
misses the point that under the terms
of the Roche measure the telephone
people could at pleasure bury their
main cables and yet maintain, on the
same street, a network of separate
overhead wires. Thus the advantages
expected by the public from the con-
duit system would be lost, and the
only practical effect of the ordinance
would be to add new public gratuity
TO the telephone corporation and put 1t
out of the power of the people of Scran-
ton at any future time to abolish the
overhead wire nuisance. When to this
valuable gift select council adds the
right to tear up any of our streets at
the telephone company's will, it con-
cludes a bargain in which the telephone
company gets all the advantage, and
the common people of the city, as is
usual in such matters, get-left.
To the four selectmen who resisted
this unfair measlEe, Messrs. Sander
son, Lansing, Thomas and Robinson,
the community owes its thanks. They
were not successful, but they were
right.

The Righteous Way,

The point is made by Senior Quesada,
of the Cuban delegation at Washing
ton, that a formal recognition by the
United States of the independence of
Cuba would necessarily end the war.
He holds that if Cuba were recognized
by us as an independent nation, then
Spain, in continuing her effort to sub
jugate it, would come under that prin-
clple in the Monroe doctrine which
pledges this government to resist forci-
bic foreign encroachments upon the
free territory of the American hcmi-
sphere and we should have to warn her
off.
The contention is ingenious and in a
measure true; but when the United
States gets ready to take action in the
matter of Cuba it will do we'll to rest
it's policy upon a broader basis than a
technicality. To proceed on the lines
suggested above would be to cheaper
the moral force of our activity. Not
every humane citizen Of Europe recog-
nizes the binding force of the Monroe
doctrine; but there is no well-informed
European who would not yield willing
assent to our right to intervene in Cuba
for the purpose of stopping intolerable
inhumanity. The Monroe doctrine has
yet to be established in some quarters,
but in no quarter outside of Turkey
and Spain does it need to be argued
that a great power like the United
States should lift it's voice, and, if
necessary, its hand in protest against
a situation in near by island that has
reduced thousands OF innocent men,
women and children to the most pitt
able extremes Of homelessness, destitu-
tion and wretchedness. The fact that
this suffering has been the wanton
workmanship of Spain, and that it has
been produced In contraventlon of all
established rules of civilized warfare,
presents a clear and unchallengeable
reason why our protest should be ad-
dressed to the Spaniards rather than to
the insurgent Cubans; and why, if
Spain would deny a hearing to it, wo
should proceed to force one.

within bounds in saying that the con-
servative opinion of the country will

which in his judgment shall offer the
promise of relieving this barbarous
crisis in Cuba, even to the point, should
other means fail, Of that stern method
concerning the success OF which there
is no possible doubt.

An UntenabIe Decision.

We doubt If the decision OF Judge
Simonton in the South Carolina liquor
case, that the dispensary laws of South
Carolina, vesting in that state a mo-
nopoly of the liquor traffic, cannot
operate to inyalidate the private i'm
portatiop and sale in South Carolina
of liquor in original packages, will be
sustained when it goes upon appeal be-
fore the United States Supreme court.
The idea OF a state monopoly Of the
sale of an. article in common use is
generally open to serious objection; but
it is obviously a matter for the citizens

The Adventures of Daniel.

Dan Dlllard, d peddler of the
lrish-American persuasion, inn
bibed too freely of the juice of the
corn during the early hours of
last night. Finally he became
sufficiently loaded and started for
home over in the north end. He
had to pass through the open
yard of the old colored boarding
house near the +. G.. & p. rail-
way, known by the sanity name
Of the ST. Johns House, There is
an old cistern in the yard with a
yawning mouth. Dan didn't
know 1t was there, but be is wiser
now. Suddenly he began to de-
scend, and fell a long ways. At
least so far that when the bottom
and Dan met he was perfectly
sober. There is two feet of icy
water in the cistern, which is
about ten feet deep. He did some
yelling, in fact a good deal of it,
for that was the only recreation
he could indulge in. No one came
and the water grew colder. So
did Dan. He thought of sitting
down to rest, but the water was
too cold, and after awhile his
knees wouldn'G bend, they were
frozen stiff. 1t was probably IL
O'Clock when he sought this Sc
cluded spot and it was six this
morning when passing laborer
heard his feeble shout. Marshal
Williams came and he was re-
leased. DR.. Hood was summoned. Z.
The cistern will be covered.

HE WRESTLED WITH DARKNESS
Judge Bullock, Ocala's Well Known
Attorney, i'm a Predicament.

Attorney, in q Predicament.
The genial gentleman and able
attorney whose named appears
above made a visit to Jackson
vile and st. Augustine the day
before Christmas. He returned
home by the night train or in
tended to. Sleep overcame him and
wrapt in the arms Of Morpheus
. he dreamed bright, entrancing
dreams Of boyhOod days and the
good and happy times he had had
with Old Santa, and with visions
Of happiness that wreathed his
Sleeping senses, the delicious
memory OF which was as incense
on the holy altar of his domestic
hearth and his precious loved
ones around it, whom he antici-
pated TO surprise with the happi-
est greeting Of Yuletide. But the
Judge slept on and the train
rolled onward and past Ocala.
Near BnllevieW the knight of the
bell cord rudely aroused the
Judge from his delicious sleep and
demanded fare. The Judge in
sisted that he had paid from
Jacksonville to Ocala and sought
his check which be had tucked in
his hat band to prove the verify
OF his statement. 1t was not
there. Explanations ensued, only
for the Judge to find that he had
pissed Ocala and was nearing
Belleview, and not any too soon
to be hustled out on the platform
of the depot in the dead of the
night into the darkness of Erebus
and with old Jupiter Pluvius
soaking the earth in moisture.
Ii was a most uncomfortable
predicament and the soaking rain
Quickened the judges eyes to dis
cover place of refuge. The sta
tiOn was closed and as dark and
silent as the tomb, nos a flicker of
light anywhere to direct him to d
friendly shelter. He CROPPED
around in the impenatrable
darkness, only to stumble into
puddles Of water and holes, SO
retreated to the platform, there
to exercise a pltience for two
mortal hours that in Comparison
with that accredited to Joh, was
luminous and sublime.
1t is needless to illustrate bout
the wrecked mariner Watching
for succor, as did the thoroue hly
soaked Judge for q break OF day
and friendly light, which tinaiiy
came and a deeper thrill Of joy
never souu1ed the depth and fer
vency of human thankfulness
than it did in Judge Bullock S
bosom.
For minute details Of what
were the impressions that passed
through Judge Bullock's mind as
a standing figure" on the Belle
view platform on that morning
and how Santa Claus came to his
rescue, the reader is respectfully
referred to the mayor OF Ocala,
who is Judge w. S. Bullock. It's
recital will be entertaining and
instructive.
