Scranton has company in her mis-

Union is moved TO murmur in the fol-

THE flood of complaints in reference
TO the horrible condition of the major

time the department Of public works
hasn't one dollar available for the

ton of crushed stone is owned, and the
many holes which are of long standing
or of recent making, on the streets
could not be repaired at present If the
desire to do so was overwhelming.

Navy Estimates.

The New York Sun says that. the aE-
create Of the calls made by the navy
bureaus for the next fiscal year fore
token a larger naval appropriation than
has ever yet been made for peace
times, The amount is S47 ,065. .4s5.5S. and
II is doubtful whether Secretary Longs
pruning knife will get them below S40,-
ono 600. especially since no provision is
made IN them for establishing coaling
stations in Porto Rico, Hawaii the
Lairores, and the Philippines and to
this need the Secretary will have TO
call attention of Congress.
II should be observed, however. that
p part Of the estimates may be traced
To the war. The Navy Department laid
out its work for vigorous operations,

last, an6 it made contracts for labor
and material Even now the war tech

not yet having been agreed upon.

estimates. our relations with Spain

pass an extraordinary bill for this in

monitors and twenty-eight torpedo
boats. Then there is an extra item of
over $2,0OO,0O0 Tor the reconstruction OF
the Naval Academy buildings. There
is much larger enlisted personnel
too. in the navy than there was a year
OF two ago.
The fact is that hereafter cur naval
peace budget must regularly be larger
than it has been hitherto. We have en-
tered upon policy of expansion. On
hands have been stretched out to the
islands of the sea, fulfilling Edward
Everetts eloquent forecast, and tha
very fact implies larger navy in COM

ience of the enormous Importance o.

enemies and for preserving our owr
coasts in safety and tranquility, tn,
American people will never be willing
to have their naval strength diminish
ed, but will rather augment it steadily
with the growth of the country.
We shall confidently look, therefore
for great liberality on the part of Con

The Independent Labor Herald,
Scranton's new labor organ, published
by John Power O'Connor and p. ].
Thomas, made its first appearance yes

the we'll known journalist. John Power
O'Connor, who announces that the
paper will be Independent of all par

the principles of the American Fedora

favor of shorter hours for working

An important feature of the issue of
yesterday is the first of a series Of ar

sociology in the Syracuse university.
The articles deal with a comparison of

municipal works. The articles will be
continued from week to week. The in

of interesting reading and Is undoubt-

despicable than the anonymous circu-

Were it not that the scurrilous article

in these columns, but as a libel on the
gallant soldiers and the patriotic citi-

disclaimed as emanatng from Scran-

a cowardly or misleading attack on
the government much less of the ap-
plication made therein.
The circular in question quotes from
a Boston paper to the effect that the
government bid for 10000 tombstones
has been let to a Vermont firm at the
rate of S1.52 each. 1t then proceeds
with the astonishing statement that
while soldiers to the number of but
1,S00 have already died, the govern
ment expects to keep the army in the
field until the 10000 tombstones are
needed and are employing money to
buy these instead of getting food and
proper equipments for the care of the

Those Americans who are stimulated
by recent events to embark largely in
the business of marine transportation
will enjoy an advantage in the fact
that they will avoid the waste of con-

crowding the slow-going sailer out of
the business, and the newer and finer
of quick deliveries. it's chances of ac-

might make somebody squirm. For in
stance: "Twelfth-were the chief sur
geons in the various camps instructed

dition, to look after their cleanliness, to
demand the proper supply of water, to
test the water as to it's character, to
look into the cooking arrangements, to
locate the sinks and see to their proper
carer" The thirteenth question wants
to know why regimental hospitals in
camps were abolished and division hos
pitals substituted. and asks if the re-
suits were satisfactory. There is MOTH
