Tuesday Special Officer Brown of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad took Carr, he
says. from train near the Massachusetts
avenue crossing. He is we'll acquainted
with the fugitive. he has told the police,
and there can be no mistake about his
being the man whom he put off the train.
Had he known at that time that there was
such a charge against .he train jumper
he would have arrested him. The failure
OF the Police to make prompt report Of
the affair, however, is probably why the
special officer was ignorant of the case and
allowed Carr to go free.

The Tariff on Coal.

Commenting recently upon the report
in a dispatch from Washington to The
Tribune that Representative Connell OF
this district would endeavor to nave u
duty placed in the new tariff bill on
anthracite coal, for the protection of
western coal interests, the Wilkes Barre
News-Dealer remarked: Two months
ago Mr.. Connell, as president of the
Coal Operators association, was notl-
fed of the meeting Of the ways and
means committee to consider the coal
schedule. He was asked to appear be-
fore it and he did not then think it
necessary, because as there is no an
thracite anywhere else but in Pennsyl-
Vania, why should there be a tariif?'
AS a matter of fact, the reason why
Mir. Connell did not appear before the
ways and means committee on that oc-
casion was because he did not receive
the letter of notification in sufficient
time. The fact that about 100000 tons
Of Welsh anthracite are imported annu-
ally along the Pacific coast, which at a
duty of rs cents per ton would yield
| Sl500OO in revenue, should have been
sufficient, one would think, to have
| induced Representative Leisenring, who
| is also interested in coal, to appear be-
| fore that committee with the necessary
/ information. 1t is true that Pennsy!-
| 'Vania's anthracite does not need tariff
! protection, but if it We're subjected to
! such competition as menaces the west
ern product, we suspect that the Lu-
zerne member would have been the first
| to protest.
Mr.. Connell will vota for the Dingley
tariff bill whether anthracite is kept
on the free list or not but there would
be obvious propriety in placing the
same duty on the one kind of coal as is
admittedly necessary on the other.

could not he otherwise. He could place
himself where he had always trusted
himself-in the hands of his God He
looked the messenger of death calmly
in the face and overlooking with graft"
tude for all that he had received in this

The estimate of such life comes
home to most of us. II has no mill

elation in the public gaze to add to its

high and common praises of a good and
faithful servant. 1t bespeaks part of
it's reward when in this life it comes
to the trusting of the savings of the
widow and orphan, the confidence of
fellow citizens in large trusts, and the
sober, quiet estimate of the good citi-
zen, back of all criticism, which says:
"This man could be trusted" Such a
life is within the high aim and hope OF
the common lot of humanity who, after
all, make up the true history and
march of the highest civilization. Such
a life. whether it's end comes early or

The Foreign Shopping Habit.

We have received a number of letters

deplored the habit among well-to-do
Scrautonians of going to New York or
some other distant city to do their buy

mercantile establishments in this city

the greater part of their shopping Is an
indisputable fact. Several of the large
dry goods stores of Scranton have for
wears endeavored to keep this trade at
home by laying in the finest KIND OF
goods and marking them to sell at
lower prices than the same articles
could be purchased for in New YORK;
but the result has been to our sorrow
that these high class novelties have lam

PEELED to sell them at a great loss
only one criticism has been offered
upon The Tribune's position. 1t has
been suggested that if ScrantUnians be
discouraged from going to New York
to do their purchasing, on the same
principle buyers living in the boroughs
and towns proXmate to Scranton would
be kept out of the stores of Scranton
But this does not follow, either in logic
or in fact. There Is a difference be
tween subtracting large sum of money
from the business channels Of the COM
munity by foreign buying and transfer
ring its expenditure from one to an
other part of the same commu-
nifty. The communication between
Scranton and its various suburbs
throughout the county is nowadays SO
close that the dollar spent in any one
place within the county is pretty sure
to find it's way speedily around the
circle. 1t is not so, however, with the
Scranton dollar spent in New York. For
every dollar that New York gets from
us W. receive back in cash on the aver
age not more than one penny. The
money taken from Scranton to New
York and spent in New Ycrk's stores
is money to which the people of this
community may in most instances adj
dress sad farewell. once spent it is
gone forever.
We are advised that our remarks OF
this subject are likely to strike more
persons than we wot of. Very likely
All the more reason, therefore, that the
ill-effects of the foreign shopping habit
on local prosperity shold be pointed out
1t is not to be believed that any Citi
zen of Scranton, and especially any
citizen whose wealth has been largely
accumulated in Scranton or in it's vicin
ity, can take offence when he is in
formed that a thoughtless custom OF
his part or on the part of his famil!
is making poorer the community arounC
him and by just that much diminishing
his chance Of future profits. a littl
common sense is all that is needed t
put this whole matter Alright.

easiness. Those who have stood by lin
Tor forty years feel that his day in poll
tics is done. He has become forgetful
and his seventy-tour years are beginning

An Illustration of his forgetfulness is
told here. The incident occurred in
Washington, but was kept quiet there
for many reasons. Those of Sherman's
intimate friends who heard it there An a
joke have been citing it here as an evil
dence of his failing powers.
WAITED IN VAIN EoR SHERMAN.
On the night of March 3rd. John Hay
gave dinner to Presidenu-elect McKin-
ley. There was distinguished list of
guests. Hay was already chosen as am
bassador to England. Sherman had long
| before been slated for secretary of state.
Next to President Mckinley Secretary
Sherman was the most important guest
of the occasion. The guests care-the
president-elect and others-but no pre-
mier. AS Sherman had sent no regrets
his absence was unaccountable.
After seasOnable waiting the feast pro-
ceeded without him, but both Mckinley
and Hay wondered why "Uncle john
had fOrsaken them without warning. A
later inquiry developed that Sherman had
forgotten all about the Hay dinner or
else had made mistake in the house.
To the surprise of Senator Brice Secre-
tary Sherman was announced at the
Brce mansion in time for dinner party
which Brice was giving to some demo-
cratic friends. Sherman had not been
invited, but he was in the house, and
senatorial courtesy is everything in
Washington. Besides, Brice and Sher-
man were both serving their last day in
the senate. 1t was singularly appropri-
ate that they should have farewell din
ner together. One demo cratic guest had
sent regrets, and Brice very deity seat
ed Senator Sherman in the vacant chair.
The democratic guests wondered why
sherman, premier of the incoming re-
tublican administration, should be at
the festal board of democrat and n ong
democrats. Brice saw through the
venerable senator's mistake but said
nothing.
Naturally the matter was kept a secret
among those who understood it but it
crept into Ohio.

A MILLION FOR ROADS.
Pennsylvania Legislature will Appropriate
100000 to Improve Highway

pennsylvania Legislature Will Appropriate
S1,0OO,OOO to Improve Highway.
There is pending before the Pennsyl-
vania legislature bill for road construc-
ton and improvement which carries an
appropriation of 81 100000. Its passage
is considered certain and the state press
is congratulating Pennsylvania upon the
prospect of the immense benefits which
will come trCm the measure.
Pennsylvania neighbor, New Jersey,
his made more PROCESS recently in road
construction than any other state. AS a
result the price of farm lands in New
Jersey has advanced and many farms
which had been abandoned because of
the difficulty in marketing their crops
are now tenanted and cultivated. These
object lessons have probably had some
thing to do with the good roads move
ment in Pennsylvania. We observe that
IN many other states much is being done
to improve roads. The southern states
are coming forward in this work, though
in most of them local enterprise and not
state legislation is responsible for the
building of good roads. Gradually it is
getting into the heads of people that
poor roads are a heavy tax upon any CON-
munity and that good roads are true
economy and powerful auxliaries to
roSperity.

MAKING A BLOODY RECORD.
The Number of Murders Committed In
This Country Is Rapidly Growing.

The Number of Murders Committed in
This Country Is Rapidly Growing.
Statistics show that number of MUIR
ders committed in this country is rap
idly increasing every year. Up to fif-
teen years ago there had never been a
year in which over a thousand people had
been killed by their tellowmen, yet dur.
ing the past year it is shown thai the
number of murders was ten times as
great. The increase in crime has been
proportionately great during all OF the
past fifteen years. America is leading
every other civilized nation in this re-
spect. Even Italy, with its malta and Its
bloody record, falls far short OF civilized
America.
There must be some reason for this bad
state of things in this COUNTRY. Are not
the courts responsible in a large degree
for the showing? Are not men who
commit murder allowed 10 go free on
technical points in law when, in fact,
they are guilty of the crime of taking
human life unIaw.ully? With the bloody
record which America is making, the
laws should be overhauled and greater
value placed upon human life. The
"pistol toters' shoUld be dealt with by
judges in more vigorous way. Unless
there is change in the record we have
very little reason to complain whom out
ragged citizens attempt to make law un-
to themselves.
