A TIME LIMIT.
In Thomas Case the Court Made ii
Six Months

Several days ago Arthur Thomas was
arrested and charged with vagrancy.
He had in his possession two alarm
clocks, which he claimed were given
him by stranger at Seventh and M
streets. He was arraigned in the City
Justice Court yesterday morning, and
said he guessed he might as well plead
guilty, as Officer M. A Fisher had told
him he would convict him If it was
the last act of his life.
Officers Maley and Fisher told the
court that Thomas had informed them
that he stole the clocks
Justice Davis was inclined to be ia
cetious with Thomas for minute. and
ended by sentencing him to serve six
months in the County Jail

The Pot and the Kettle.

The Supreme court of South Carolina
has affirmed the constitutionalitY OF
the law recently enacted in that state
which puts 1t in the power of the rela-
tives of lynched man to sue for dam
age the county in which the lynching
took place. This law will, however, as
the Philadelphia Ledger asserts, be
powerlesS unless the juries enforce it.
THE damages" that paper explains.
"arC collectible by the county from
the persons engaged in the lynching,
but in many instances the counties
cannot collect owing to the difficulty
of Identifying the culprits. 1t is to be
feared that juries will display no great
zeal in visiting damages on their coun~
ties and increasing their own taxes for
the lynching of an obnoxious victim
Ii may be easier to mulct the counties
for these murders than it is to convict
lynchers. ana it is possible that the
law as affirmed may act as a deterrent
of the horrible crimes which it is de-
signed to suppress. We shall see"
1t is, indeed. every doubtfur-to

whether the mere enactment of a
statute like this oil transform into
law abiding neighborhoods the COM
munites in which atrocious and name

There is some credit to the south in
the fact that its better citizens are
searching for some shortcut TO re-

is better than utter moral indifference.

A Rumor and It's Lesson.

The rumors which are yet current
with respect to the alleged connection
of the Lackawanna Iron and steel COM
pany with the proposed erection of a
large new steel rail plant at Stony
Point, near Buffalo. have not yet been
traced to a tangible and responsible
source. They may, therefore, mean
much, little or nothing. All that is
definitely known is that Buffalo is ap-
parently to have a new steel industry
confessedly backed in part by capital
lists who are also interested in the
Lackawanna concern, which may or
may not have any bearing upon the in
dustrial future Of Scranton.
But Independent of any of these
rumors the time seems opportune to re-
peat the familiar but necessary sugges-
tion that Scranton still needs more and
better diversified industries. This city
has reached a dimension where it
should no longer be dependent or SEEM
ingly deuendent on either coal or iron
as it has been in the past. Its future
prosperity must come through more
NdIlOuS fIdHuelS. w lln cheap 1uel anu
power abundant labor. attractive nat
ural surroundings and a conspicuous
spirit Of enterprise and hearty good
fellowship among it's inha abitants it is
in position, not simply to beg for new
industries but as a matter of fact to
exercise "A discerning choice among pro-
posals of an industrial nature. 1t has
been demonstrated that many outsiders
desire to remove plants of various
kinds to Scranton. There is no need to
chase after them. But there is need of
a new era of substantial local en-
couragement for deserving applica-
tions.
No city can advance indefinitely with
out putting forth continuous construct
i've effort. Locally there have been
spurts and then lulls in industrial
growth. 1t is time now for a steady
and unremitting development. The
mere rumor of a possible removal OF
our largest single industry should be
sufficient to shake up the dry bones
and bring on a new campaign for the
city's uphuilding.

ON QUAY VERDICT.
Consolation.

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
We are now told that Senator QUAY
escaped conviction on technical
grounds. AS matter of fact, every
technical question raised during the
trial was decided i'm favor of the prose-
cution. We are also told that he had
a marrow escape" Possibly The
Democratic Philadelphia Times says:
THE district attorney exercised his
right, under the old common law relic
of the dark ages. to stand aside four
teen jurors of the panel, which gave
him eighteen challenges against four
for the defense. The jury was, there
fore, practically chosen by the prose-
cution." Yet the defense rested its
case on the prosecutions testimony,
and won on it. In this view, the "es-
cape" does not seem to have been 50
very narrow" But of course Senator
Quay's defeated enemies have the right
to administer consolation to them
selves.
