The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-03-23

1t may not be generally known in
Scranton that our former fellow-citi-
zen, Tallie Morgan, Is president Of the
Ocean Grove board of trade. Indeed,
there is a prospect that Tallie will yet
become a greater man than was ever
Founder Bradley in the palmiest and
most voluminous days of his linen
duster monarchy. Tallie Is now devel-
oping a monumental idea. He fancies
that perhaps Philadelphia will be un-
able to secure the Exposition building
for the national Republican convention
and therefore no building will be large
enough for that great event. Hence
his proposition to allure the conven-
ton to Ocean Grove by means Of the
big auditorium which can hold 10000
persons. Tallie is to lay his plans be-
fore Mark A. Hanna and the result
will be awaited with interest. When
it comes to real originality and enter
prise it takes Scranton man every
time to be in the lead.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-03-23

The net result of the legislative pri-
maries thus far held throughout the
state is a decided stiffening of party
lines. We do not know of an instance
in which a candidate for the legislature
has had the hardihood to announce In
advance his intention, If elected, to
bolt the caucus of his party; but on
the contrary we know of several ami
Quay nominees who are under pledge
to abide the will of the next senatorial
caucus, and it is not to be believed
that many of these will break their
word. All this represents a gain for
regular methods and tends to minm-
tze the possibility of another deadlock.

dustry and commerce on and
around our inland seas are embodied
in an exhaustive forecast of the lake
marine outlook for 1900 which appears
in the Chicago Times Herald.
Last year the gross tonnage of ves-
sells entering and clearing Chicago and
Calumet harbors was 100000 tons.
This year it will exceed 100000 tons,
Notwithstanding that many large boats
have been withdrawn from the grain
and merchandise trade to carry ore
and coal. On the Calumet last year
1850, 900 tons of ore were handled. This
year $780, 900 tons have been contracted
for, and in other purchasing GEN.
ters a similar increase is anticipated.

| this year will, 1t is predicted, increase
| from 10 to 20 per cent. as compared
| with last year, the estimate being
| based on a comparison of orders last
| March and this.
The best evidence that a busy lake
season is in prospect, however. is to
be found in the arrangements which
are being made to handle the rush

The report Is current at Washington
that Great Britain has been won over
to an acceptance of the senate amend
ment to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
which, in clumsy language, provides
that in case the United States should
become engaged in war with any other
power We could lawfully close the
Nicaragua canal to the warships Of
that power. If this should prove to be
correct, it is to be hoped that before
the treaty is finally ratified its rhetor-
ical crudities will be combed out. We
owe that much to the English Ian
guage.

duties, because of their good citizen.
chip. their high moral character, their
Intelligence and their approved integ-
rity. If such a body of such men are
able to draw the inference from the
production of this play, that 1t is an
offense against public decency, 1t
should be condemned and the defend
ants punished for having produced 1t;
but IL such men are able, on the other
hand, to draw the Inference that the
play Is not indecent, within the fair
meaning of section 3S5 of the code,
then the defendants should be dis
charged and the play allowed to pro-
ceed."
This is form of censorship to which
there cannot be righteous objection.
We hear a good deal about the liberty
of the stage. 1t is entitled to no more
liberty than the press; and when the
press prints obscene literature 1t is not
permitted to use the mails and when,
in the opinion of a jury 1t libels man
its responsible agents have to pay a
fine or go to jail. This is the difference
between liberty and license. The diff
ference is one which must occasionally
be emphasized for the public welfare.

w
formerly president and gen.
eral manager of the Canadian Pacific
railway, which on it's face looks rea-
sonabe and satisfactory. Sir William
has secured the active interest of a
number of wealthy Americans, includ-
ing such men as Pierpont Morgan, Mr..
Rockefeller, Mr. Flagler, John w. Mac
kay, d. o. Mills and Granville NJ.
Dodge, in a project to invest $25.0OO,000
in the construction of a complete rail-
way system in Cuba.
They PROPOSE" says our informant
Mr.. w. E. Curtis, of the Chicago Rec
ord, "to buy and consolidate all the
existing railways, which have mile
age of about 1900 miles, divided up
into short lines running from the prin-
cipal seaports over the sugar country,
and extend them until every province
shall be we'll supplied with transporta-
ton facilities. They first propose to
construct 'vertebraterial' from Cape
Antoine, the extreme western tip, to
Cape Masi, the extreme eastern tip of
the island, which is about 76O miles,
running as near the center of the island
as economical engineering will permit.
From this main stem, or backbone,
they will construct a series Of ribs
from convenient functions north and
south to the accessible ports, thus CIV
ing an outlet to the products of the
central portion of the island, which
now have no roads and are beyond
reach"

YNDER A resolution now pend
ing in congress- another
~ amendment is proposed to
the constitution of the Unit
ed States. This amendment, known
as the Ray amendment, from the name
of it's author, Representative Ray, of
New York, chairman of the committee
on the judiciary, would, If adopted,
cause an Article XVI to appear in the
constitution, reading as follows:
The congress shall have the power to
regulate and repress nionopolies and COM
binations; to create and dissolve corpora
tions, and dispose of their property; to
make all laws necessary and proper for
the execution of the foregoing powers.
Such powers may be exercised by the
several states in any manner not in con-
flict with the laws of the United States.

presidential election: and if it should
have to compete with the Bryan type
of politician for the suffrages CT those
who are influenced by clap trIp we
would consider that Bryan could give
it cards and spades and still beat it
out.
The fact is that the Republican
party is ready to go as far in the di-
