found in his yard this morning with
his back broken. He died without re-

rumor that he had been thrown from
the window to his death. He was 3S

Looking Backward.

" Is estimated that the sending of
troops to Hazleton will cost the state.
all factors considered, not less than
Sl?5,OOO. The bill is Il costly one, but
in the special emergency which created
ii there was no alternative. 1t will
be well if in the discussion which this
item of expense is sure to precipitate
public opinion is aroused to the need
of more economical method of as
serting the authority of the state in
communities where local authority con-
fesses it's inability to preserve the
peace.
Looking backward at the Lattimer
affair after some of the early excite
ment has subsded it is clear that a
number of contingencies might have
aVerted the necessity for the presence
in that vicinity of a portion Of the
National guard, 1t is safe to say that
had the sheriff's deputies worn uni
forms and been armed with bayonets
rather than Winchesters the mob
which, as it was, defied THE law until
treated to a volley of bullets would
q.
The provision by the county commits
sioners in times of popular turmoil Of
uniforms or some other conspicuous
emblems of authority for the use of
the special officers hastily summoned
to perform police duty would doubt
less in the long run prove an economy.
The potency of this visual representa-
ton -
all students of the art of government
and it is especially prevalent among
alien classes accustomed to the sight
of the military of the old world
Then,again, the mooted question of an
easily modified and continually provi-
stoned state police composed either of
Independent employees of the state or
Rise picked from the National guard
and limited to two regiments, one to
be stationed in the western and the
other in the eastern part of the state,
rearises and much is to be said in
favor of the proposition. While there
cannot be anything but praise for the
promptitude with which the Third bri-
gade answered the recent call and with
which the officials of the guard made
ready the requisite preparations for
the Hazleton encampment. yet on ac-
count both of economy and of fairness
to the militia 1t would seem TO be
better to confide this police duty to a
smaller body Of men under conditions
making it less of a sacrifice for them
to make hurried departures from the
scene of their accustomed vocations.
But most important Of all the lessons
taught by this dRplorable incident is
the need of continuous assertion Of
law and order in the territory under
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-10-02
That Bicycle Ordinance,

The defeat of the bicycle ordinance is
to be regretted. Councils in this mat
ter has not acted fairly. There can
not be denial of the fact that regula-
tion by ordinance of the use of bicycles
is demanded in the interest of good
government Such regulation should
be reasonable and intelligent, but in
it's application to notorious and fast
growing abuses it should be unyield-
ing. The Chittenden ordinance in its
original form approXimated closely to
a reasonable regulation of wheeling.
1t needed little if any amendment.
Council should have considered it seri-
ously and judiciously. Every day wit
nesses fragrant abuse by wheelmen of
their privileges. The percentage of
wheelmen who practice this violation
of the common rights of the highway
is doubtless small but the law should
nevertheless put a check upon them.
They will not behave themselves vol
unfairly and every time one of them
commits a public outrage he throws
discredt upon the whole practice of
wheeling, thus damaging the great ma
jority of riders, who respect the rights
and privileges of those who do not
ride.
Public sentiment does not wish to
abridge in any degree the fair and
reasonable privileges of wheelmen, for
it knows enough to appreciate the
manifest and innumerable advantages
of the bicycle. The wheel is here and
here to stay. No legislation, however
drastic, could eliminate it from the
problem. But the very fact that its
use is growing steadily and continually
calls with increasing emphasis for a
sensible definition of the municipal
law upon the subject, to the end that
wheelmen and pedestrians may both
know where they are at. In treating
the matter flippantly common council
has not added to it's reputation. The
best thing it can do is to discard the
cap and bells and take early occasion
to pass an ordinance fair to all con-
cerned.

pfONokingly active way at the approach
OF a hypodermic syringe He would be
able In this way to get a stay of execu-
ton on the doctor without the interfer-
ence of the governor or the board of par
dons. How could this emergency be met?
If the court had the power to pronounce
an alternative sentence on the man re-
quiring him to submit to the dosing and
boring, or be hanged, it might tend to re-
move some of the difficulty, and II would
not even be clear which of the alterna-
tives the cu'prits would accept. But would
such a sentence hold water, and in par
ticular would it hold water with a very
small quantity of medicine in It? / am
not sufficiently conversant with law mat
ters to suggest a remedy with any cont-
dence, but perhaps n mandamus might
help the doctors out of the dilemma. Or
perhaps the remedy now enjoying such a
run of popularity in the western part of
the state, mean the injunction, might be
enectual. 1t has done some wonderful
things recently. Or the judge might in
clude i'm his sentence a clause of submisso
eNperimentum, or syringa hypodermicum

And then there might be some difficulty
in the way of the board OF pardons deal
ing with the case of a man under a sem
tence Of this kind. 1t would not be fair
to place a man beyond the reach of this
board. Men sentenced to be hanged are
now within its reach. But how could they
help man who was under such a sem
tence as the one proposed by the learned
doctor? They might release him from
confinement and then the other part
which subjected him to medical expert
ments would doubtless be remitted also
unless the doctor pursued him on that
modern weapon, the bicycle But suppose
the board of pardons only felt like remit
ting the part of the sentence which SUBJ
jectod him to the scientific experiments
what form of an order could be invented
that would protect his stomach and skin
against the attacks of the physicians
while he was confined in jail? 1t may be
possible that some of these difficulties
about the essayists plan are not so great
as they seem, but present them for what
they are worth, and call the attention OF
the doctor to them so that he may meet
th<m in the next essay he reads on this
subject Citizen.

consideration. For years this bleak
and more or less desolate area has
been the thcater OF innumerable Of
fences against the law. the mefest frac-
tion of which have been adequately
atoned for. With full allowance for
the inevitable eXaggerations attending
the chronicling of the more notable Of
these acts of lawlessness in the metro
politan press, it is a fact not open to
question that the quality of the gov
ernment administered i'm the Lehigh
region has not in years been such as
should have been tolerated in the sec
ord commonwealth in this civilized and
enlightened republic. In certain locali-
tlss measurably good order has been
maintained but upon the whole the av-
crage of law enforcement has been hui
millatingly low. Crude aliens, put
down in such an environment, have
become, not better but worse, and the
agencies of civilization in the neigh
borhood have by no means exhausted
their utmost energies to mend matters
In a crisis the supremacy Of law and
ord r must be maintained, be the cost

hereafter take a fortnight of anarchy

the citizens of this part of Penrsyl-
vania that it is an expensive thing to
permit the levels of citizenship to sag
