The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-11-06

OF government by an irresponsible coterie
of consplrators hidden In the precincts
of the hall on Fourteenth street, the
Greater New York presents a spectacle
for the rldcule of all who doubt and
decry republican institutions, and for
the sad contemplation of all others.
Bear in mind that this is not the ut
terance Of a paper friendly to Platt or
Of one that cares a rap of it's finger
for the Republican party. It is simply
a short offering of timely New Eng
land common sense served without
dressing on the half shell. There Is
talk now of continuing the Citizens
Union in Greater New York as a per-
manent party organization, just as
there is talk in Philadelphia of organ
izing in that city an imitation move-
ment for partisan -partisanship in
municipal affairs. If those who favor
these propositions are wise, let them
bear in mind that the nucleus of all
successful good government enterpris-
es as conditions stand must come from
the Republican party and that there
fore the way to promote good govern
ment is not to open up with an idiotic
declaration of war on Republican party
organizations.

inmates Of box stalls will suffer for a
freer circulation Of air, particularly in
winter, when it is not always practica-
bic to open stable windows. Under such
conditions u contributor to the New
York Tribune tells that the best plan is
to open the box stall out into tho inte-
rior Of the stable by using such an ar
rangcment us shown in the illustration
here reproduced.
The door to the stall is cut into two
parts, whilo attached to the lower half,
but extending to the top of the door

the framework that is screwed to tho
lower half Of the door The upper half
shuts into place and bolts to tho lower
half, when tho whole swings as ono
door. During the day the upper part of
the door can be kept open and shut Mt
night for warmth. This not only affords
good ventilation during the day, but
permits the occupants of such stalls to
be seen at any time without opening the
stall doors. The same arrangement is

there had been a series of. wars with
france and Germany, including the sew
en-ycars' war, which increased the dent
$50, 100000 The struggle with the
American colonies was the result OF tax
alton to pay for those wars. But that
cost 0T,000.000. and increased the na-
tional debt to 1887 100000. In 1916, after
the wars with Napoleon, which cost over
$4 600, 100000, the debt reached its high
est figure. and in 1916 was fS4G,000,000.
Then followed gradual reduction by
careful financering. until 1854, and when
the Crimean war broke out the debt was
reduced to E19i,000,000 The Crimean
war cost ET0,000,000. Since that time
the wars of England have cost E63,000.-
1000, not including the regular mainten-
ance of the army and navy.
The usual way OF reducing the debt Is
by the application OF the surplus reve-
naes IN the purchase Of what are known
as terminahle annuities, and by the
sinking fund. which was created many
ears ago. From the regular receipts of
tine government $7,500,000 is added to
his fund every year. Large sums of
money have been bequeathed to the gov
rnment by wealthy patriots to assist in
meeting the public debt, but it is still
very large, and next to France the
argest Of any nation in the world.
