must be more revenue. The first of
these necessities appears to have been
firmly taken in hand by the Municipal
league judging from the start which
1t has made toward checking leaks
and wastes and more especially toward
giving the public an incentive to de-
mand a higher order of official con-
science in the conduct of city affairs
The likelihood is that in the near flu
ture greater care will be taken by our
city authorities in working out prob
lens of economy in the public business
than has been taken by the majority
of them in the recent past. This is
not going to happen all In one day
1t will take time AZ work to get the
standard of economy lifted up and
nailed up, but il can be done and
must be done at no distant day IL

city can put on some Of the more mod

sanitation, an improved protection

opment of a progressing municipality.
This will require more revenue, and
where is more revenue to come from?
Nothing more from the mass of peo-
pie directly in the form of an increased
tax levy, save as they shall them
selves authorize by regular election,
for the city's limit of indebtedness has
been reached. Very little more in the
form of petty licenses and fines, for
these are pretty numerous already.
The one remaining large source of ad-
ditional local revenue is the corpora
tions that use the public thorough
fares. It is therefore pertinent to in
quire what would be the effect if the
taxation of these corporations should
be increased as proposed in the pend
ing license ordinance.

one of its motives is to becloud the
situation with a view to obstructing
the nomination of Mr.. Smith at Phil
adelphia next week for vice president.
If the ward heelers of Philadelphia's
slum districts did not fear that Mr..
Smith might be nominated; in fact, II
they were not already convinced that
his nomination. in spite of newspaper
mention of other candidates., is ex-
tremely probable, they would not pre-
sumo to instruct the president of the
United States in his official duty.
Their opposition will, of course, in
crease the popular esteem in which
the postmaster general is held and
renew public attention to the fact that

The Ticket as a Whole.

"~HE PRESENCE on one ticket
of three men who have been
Il as widely at variance in the
past as have Messrs. Con-
nell, Scranton and Fellows illustrates
the uncertainties of politics and also
reflects the obvious desire of the party
masses that past feuds should be har-
monized. This manifest expression Of
the popular will has the force of a
command and will doubtless be re-
spected accordingly. No combinations
were formed. Each candidate worked
for himself alone. The outcome was
wholly the work of party sentiment
&c directly registered at the polls.
Under these circumstances loyalty to
party requires its cordial acceptance
by Republicans throughout the county.
What is true as to these three can
didates, who have freely opposed each
other in the past, is equally true of
the other successful aspirants. Their
nomination comes directly from the
voters, after a contest open to all.
Such a situation does not call for
soreness or apathy on the part of
the competitors that lost. They have
the consciousness that they made a
gallant fight and they have the future
to look to for recompense. The public
will view with favor a loyal acQuie-
scence in It's registered desire and visit
with displeasure INSTRUMENTATION or
political disloyalty.
This is presidential yearHswhen Re-
publicanism is summoned to sink per-
sonal feeling in party fealty The call
to the party for unwaVering support
of Republican principles is also a call
for unconditional faithfulness to Re-
publican candidates. Disaffection can
not exist at any point without en-
ddngering the party interests through
out. Remembrance of this fact during
the period of reaction following the
intensity of the canvass for the NOM
nations Will promote victory in No
vember and deprive the enemy of its
expected encouragement resulting
from anticipated Republican disaffec-
ton.

lll llr' IeIuI hS INV
\N practically complete, 1t
is apparent that Mr..
Connell will have near
ly two votes to Mr.. Spencer's one. 1t
is at once a flattering tribute and
significant rebuke.
1t is tribute to a man whose
career covering nearly half "a century
in this community has been an illus
tration of steady growth upon sound
principles, both in the business ac-
tlvities with which he has been so
largely identified and in the innumer-
able other relations which he has sus-
tanned to the benefit of thousands of
the people around and about him.
Envy loves a shining mark and de-
traction is often virulent in propor-
tion to merit. 1t has been so at least
with William Connell. Few men have
been more recklessly bounded; seldom
has the vituperation of malice gone to
more indecent extremes in trying to
besmrch where backmail would not
work.
The result of Mondays primaries is
a rebuke to this insane defamation
and a notice from the people that they
are sick of it. Under other circum-
stances Mr.. Spencer's candidacy
might have Jared much better. He
was free to promote it personally
throughout the county; he had the
means and the vigor to make his cam
ddacy felt: and his friends were nu-
merous and active. But back of his
candidacy was the shadow of a foul
publication reelking with venom and
filthiness. The handicap was too
much. 1t bore down his cause in de-
feat. In the circumstance is a lesson
worthy of widespread heed. Abuse
never yet helped the cause employing
it. Trying to tear one man down does
not lift another man up. If persisted
in it reacts with fatal effect.
Aside from its personal aspects, the
denomination of the present congress-
man is a logical result of his faithful
and effective service, and in keeping
with the general intent to let the in
cumbent administration carry out it's
uncompleted work The decision is
reasonable and just; and it supplies
a new proof of the strength of popu-
lar government.

The Local Revenue Problem.

II quasi-public corporations Of
n Scranton such as the tele-
phone company, the electric
light companies, the water company
and the street railway company, cor
porations that do business through
the grace of the city as represented
in special franchises, have enjoyed
what many believe to be lower taxa
ton upon their special privileges than
is customary in we'll regulated cities,
while during most of this time, GER
tainly during the last few years, the
city itself has been notoriously hard
up; necessary public improvements
have had to be postponed; unpaid
judgments against the city have ac-
cumulated, and the general stax bur-
den as felt by the ordinary owner of
improved real estate has grown
heavier year by year.
Two things in our city are abso-
lutely necessary and may as we'll be
faced. There must be a more econ
omical and judicious use of the reve-
nues already provided and there

DISPATCH from Philadel-
~ phia, published in the
4 " Washington Post of yester-
day, journal which is
trying hard to manufacture campaign
capital out of the postal Irregularities
in Cuba, sets forth the following in
formations:

crusade which has for its object the ousting Of
Charles Emory Smith from President McKney's
cabinet. While all Of the local Republican lead.

ment it is well understood that 1t was not m
augurated spontaneously 10y the clubs them
selves, but that it has behind it at least the
tatict consent and Endorsement Of the men who
run the city and state organizations of the party.
The ball was started rolling tonight at a
meeting of the Harry X. Wildey Republican
club, of the Thrty-sccond ward, Of which Will
lam Porter is president, and which boasts Of a
membership of 2j0, all active party workers
in their various election districts. Mr. WildCy,
whose name the club bears, is a deputy sheriff,
and prominent in the leadership of his party in
the Twcnty.sevenih executive district. The club
at tonights meeting adopted series OF resuu-
tions, the preamble to which sets forth that
"On account of the frauds recently exposed IN
the postal service in the Island of Cuba, it is
apparent that the head OF the poStoihce depart
ment at Washington cannot escape from the re-
sponsblity for the scandal which consequently
attaches to the federal administration" The
resolutions call upon Charles Emory Smith to
resign the office OF postmaster general the
ground that the department over which he pre-
sides has been incOmpeteutly administered, and
that his retention in office would aCcentuate the
scandal and bring further rcproach upon the Re-
publican party of the nation.
. In the event of Mr.. Smith refusing or neglect.
ing to yield up his office, President Mckinley is
requested by the resolution 10 remove him sum.
marily Sin view Of the fact that General Al
ger obliged to give up the portfolio of Sec
Tetary of war because of the scandals growing
out Of the war with SPAIN" it is contended
that the rule that prevailed in the case Of Alger
shall be enforced in the OF Smith, and that
the postmaster general will be held accountable
by the country at large for the outrageous con.
dition Of affairs in the postal service in Cuba,
Just as surely as was General Alger made re.

the various Republican managers, the Wil1ey
club resolutions are TO be adopted by a number

Foreign missionaries in China will
doubtless all receive protection in the

tunate Chinese Christians who are be-
ing murdered right and left by the
bloodthirsty Boxers? Little thought
seems to have been bestowed upon the
people of the land of discomfort who
have been persuaded into embracing
Christianity in the hope that their con-
ditions would be improved. How
many Americans could be induced to
adopt a strange creed under like cir
