tor of the First Methodist church of
Ashtabula, o., in causing to be inserted
in ten inch, double column. preferred
space in the local papers advertise
ments of his special weekday sermons
of which the following Is an example,:
Wantcd-A few more saints; few more men; a
few more Methodists; a few more sinners to be-
come saints. Meeting tonight at the First N. y.
church; subject: - Fool and His Companion. "
Very naturally this unconventional
proceeding has provoked certain
measure OF criticism. 1t is denounced
by some as sensational. although
many things done by Christ and the
apostles we're objected to on the same
score. 1t is dissented from on the
ground that 1t is undignificd, although
dignity and earnestness are rarely
found in conjunction. But the best re-
ply to these objections is found in the
fact that DR.. Whitaker's advertise
mcnts have accomplished the purpose
which he had in view; they have
filed his meetings to overflowing. In
stead of delivering a message from
ants, who are already among the elect
| and do not need it,. he Is enabled to
carry truth to hundreds who have not
been habitual church-goers; 10 tn s
extent, therefore, he has widenei the
circle of his usefulness and fulfilled
the divine injunction to preach the
gospel to every creature"
Nor can 1t be claimed that he has in
any way injured his standing or the
repute of the cloth.\ Newspaper ad-
vertisng is as legitimate n method of
announcing church services as was
the old style of posting written mo-
tices or as is the present very COM
mon custom of reading such notices
from the pulpit. 1t is u development
and a convenience of modern life,
which the modern church has need
! of just as II has need of steam heat
electric organs, cushioned pews and
| numerous other material manifesto
tions of advancing civilization. This
fact is well recognized by most pas
tors in the pains which they take to
send to the newspapers announce
ments of their services and themes of
| discourse, which the newspapers. in
most instances, publish without
| charge. But it is capable of much
development on strictly business
footing.

was a valuable Improvement, calcu-
lated to give the larger interests of
the community their proper weight in
the municipal legislature, and it is to
be hoped that this feature will be re-
stored"
We are disposed to concur in this
opinion to the extent that at least
some of the membership-say one-third
of select council should be elective
at large. AS a matter of fact, select
council without some such element of
unitarian representation is nothing
more than a duplicate OF common
council and might profitably be abol-
ished. The idea underlying the double
councils feature is that common coun-
ell is to correspond in measure with
the lower house of congress, where
the popular will finds direct and i'm
mediate expression, while select is to
resemble the senate in its power to
reject or confirm executive appoint
ments and to sit as a more deliberative
body than the lower branch. This the
ory is excellent but 1t will never have
chance to work out IN practice until
the basis of the election of selectmen
shall be made to differ from the basis
of the election of commUnGts. Scran-
ton, of all cities, by reason of its for
mer division into distinct boroughs and
districts and the tardiness with which
these old lines of separation are fading
out of the public mind, needs a char
ter which will tend to unity its gov
ernment and minimize the log-rolling
now prevalent among wards and sec
tions.
If our people, instead of losing
sleep over lthe locally inconse-
quential ripper part of the pending
new charter act, would put their
minds down to serious study Of the
permanent features of the problem and
carry to Harrisburg lucid argument in
| favor Of the fruits of their delibera-
tions. it would be vastly better for
them and vastly more helpful to the
| Legislature.

lative amendments to the new
Il street railway franchise councils
have acted prudently and in con-
formity with the public welfare. Spec
ulation at the expense of the people
must stop in this town. No matter
who attempts it or what promises are
made. franchises hereafter must safe
guard the public interest. The public
mind upon this point is made up.
At the same time this does not imply
that the community is content to put
up indefinitely with the poor service
received at the hands of the Scranton
Railway company. Promises have been
plentiful that the company would COR
rect the more tangible and exasperat-
ing shortcomings of it's service, such
as irreguarity of trips on lines not neld
up by railways crossings and INSULT
cheney of cars at morning. noon and
dusk: but there has been no visible
sign of performance. Insuiiicency Of
cars. with frequent overcrowding to the
point of indecency and danger, is not
a rare but a common thing: and it
seems to he increasing. We are unable
To discover that the management is

Gus excuses but most of the difficulties

tained from day to day with some ap-
proach to regularity, not as here. run
one day in one way and the next lay
in another way.
The writer is more familiar with the
Petersburg than with any other line in
the city. Taking it as an illustration
and ii is one of the best patroniz I'd
lines with the shortest average haul
we doubt if there is another city in the
United States where, on a similar car
line, there is such AN uncertainty OF
accommodation. one day the Nay Aug
park cars alternate with the cars to
Petersburg, the next branch car
takes the traffic on Mulberry above
Prescott; and. like as not, the third
day there is "A combination arrange
ment or only the one through service
OF some definite plan the public might,
in time, figure it out and govern it's
movements accordingly; but 1t is ap-
parently ftful and caprcious. The
only certain thing about 1t is that If
you want a car from s to $50 o'clock in
the evening you will have to crowd by
main strength into dense mass of In
dignant fellow-victims or take risks of
pneumonia and accident by hanging
on outside.
Now it is absurd to say that this
state of things cannot be remedied or
that If the company will not remedy
1t the public is without redress. There
is redress. 1t can be had either of
councils or of the state legislature. But
1t ought to be afforded by the COM
pany as matter of good business
policy, without the necessity for long
drawn out row. We advise every rat
tfon who has substantial reason for
complaint to make it, in writing,
with names, dates and witnesses, 40
General Manager Silliman. The Trih-
une, when complaints come to it prop

them to Mr.. Sillman. If this shall not
lead to some signs of better service
We will offer further suggestions.
