Tlie new nnd apparently feeble minded cdltera of tlie Wllkesbarre Jfecerrt, arc net yotfiwnke te tlie unchanging popu lar determination te turn tlie rascals out. Tlmt Journal casts about te ex plain tlie result In Lurerne county, where tlie rascals liave liad te go. in us tie wlldertncnt tlie Ikcerd attempts te put upon Sonater Coxe tlie responsibility of tlie writ of ouster served en tlie rascals tlicre. But, lnsteud of ascribing tlie event te tlie natural causes operating In tlie interests of geed government, the Wllkcsbarrc organ, a3 Is natural te sor did natures nnd biased judgments, hits upon the grotesquely impossible, rather than the transparent causes of tlie ever threw of its confederates. Te make this amusing theery geed, it reconsti tutes the character of Eckley Ii. Coxe nnd presents him te Pennsylvania an opltenio of Dersoy, Chandler, , Robeson and Rlalne-n Machlavel In Intrigue, venality and corruption ! Hypocrisy Is the tribute vice pays te virtue ; calumny is the hemage the corrupt pay te the pure. Men of all parties who have watched the stainless career of Sennter Coxe, since he reluctantly threw the intluence of his high character and great abilities into the cause et purer politics, will learn with an amazement, net uumlngled with mirth, that there are men bold enough and short-sighted enough te impugn hi honor and as3.ill his methods. It there be ene man in the state of Pennsylvaula wIioje public career can K' taken n3 a type of purity in politics, that man Is by the censensu or all factions, of all parlies, jJckley 15. Coxe, the senator from Luzerne. Sensitive, high-miud.vl, spotless in every relation of life, public and private, his advent in public affairs has been felt as wholesome, invigorating, purifying, from the remotest piecinct of Luzsrne te the slums of Philadelphia. Thus ldeutlfleil with the methods that make public station worthy the devotion of the best minds of the time, it would naturally be supposed that this states man might escape the ribaldries et the partisan and the malignancies of the envious. That In a few Instances Seua ter Coxe has net escaped these tributes which ignerance and malice pay te integrity, is net surprising, remembering the forces that his efforts te reform poli tics must naturally array against him Senater Coxe's interest in politics has nwakened the conscleiice of Luzerne. Inspired by his active interest the law abiding have been induced te come out and veta ; the better element of the party has been put Inte coutrel of its organization ; the young men coming Inte an age of political , Intluence have been rallied te the Democratic standard ; honest labor whose tritnd he has always bean, and capital of whicn he is the re gardful protector, have joined in support of him and lib msthudj, and tlfu ovl evl dence; of bio evangelizing iireoeuce vas shown in lust weck'c election by a major- t.v nf ..fiflO for dscpn:.". mtritv uml reform. Bislug its tlieses e.i Uici te I therlghtthluklngenii a gratifying evi dence of public virtue the Jfccenl, without venturing te formalize its bade nes3, insinuates wildly all manner of sinister intervention upon the part of the honored leader of the Luzero Deme.; racy. If the Recerd ba tak.a nt its word, tlie gravamen of Lie offence charged upan Senater Coxe Is the use of money, In chnngiiij-, a Republica.t major Ity into n minority of 2,-300. ir the jing ling of the guinea were an influence se potent with the Republicans of Luzerne, an organ of their party would be wiser in concealing the venal stuff its ranks are made of than publishing its baieni"a te the world. It will, however, require a geed deal stronger testimony than the irresponsi ble chatter of a party organ te shake the faith of Pennsylv.uil.mi iu the spDtlcas ne33 of tlie in i'i who male his nnuif national by an act of scrupulousness and delicacy worthy of the historic states men of the purest times. Ner does the charge, even though it rested en a ten able foundation, come with consistent:) from the exponent of a ptrly which has held power slnce ISTibyepan, persistent, cynical, shameless bribery. Tlie part) that bought Grant's election in '7J, the party that forged and bDusht and stele the electoral returns in ifaTO, that beat tered crisp greenbacks in Iudiatn iu ihse, the party that plundered the treasury during three terms te corrupt tlie ballet, makes but a sorry Ilgure in denunciation of money In elections Ne, our Wilkes barre contemporary musS sadk further te find the cause of Republican collapse, "When the poeplo pren Mine j the sentence turn the rascals out," thuy de n t mean, "buy the rascals out." What has happened In Luzerne, will happen in every county Jn the state nnd In every slate iu the Union when the plunderel voters find men et character and attain ments llke Eckley B. Coxe te take up the ceurse of reform. Demoralized and de spicable as the ruling forces of the Re publican party liave grown during the laBt eight years, we hesitate te believe that the masses are the despicable stipendiaries, the Wilkesbarre organ represents them. We believe them te be rational men, who, convinced of tlie turpitude of their leader.! and enlight ened by the example of such a man us Sennter Coxe, feel that a change isneces a.iry, nnd that they canuet go astray under such leadership. The time will come when the entire sUte will respond te Senater Coxe's call, JiiHt us Luzerne has, and by that tlme the organs must be prepared with seme system of reasoning mere credible, as well as mero credit able te the disrupted rlngs,than theshal low pretext Jnvonted te explain Lu zerne's espousal of the cause of geed government, honest administration nnd party reform. Tjik fact that Mr. Randall Is a geed dlstance ahead In the ceutest for the speakership nt Washington, Is easily uemensirnieu uy uie universal report unit the common slogan of his oppenontfl Is anything te bent Randall TiuIppiI they way be ready, if necessary, for this1 uatlen of afralrs en the oentlnont is net purpose te adept ene of his most veclfer-1 the most Inviting possible. The United eufl opponents, Mr. Will Thompson, who 'states Is te be congratulated en having cetnei te "Washington, red-handed from the recent murder et n defenseles3 vic tim, who was shot when his back was turned te his assailant. By the way, hew Is It that the great newspapers which se Indignantly demanded Dukes' exclusion from the Legislature have nothing te say against Phil Thompson being sworn In V A Test Case A suit Is pending in New Yerk by citizens against the Hrtish electric light company, te recover damages for the setting of Us poles en their sidewalks. Mr. Kvarts appears for the company and Judge lugr.iham hears the case ; se that the question at Issue is likely te receive full consideration and an intelligent de clslen. The Brush company defend en the ground that they held the permission of the city councils te erect their pole?. Tlie ether slde contend that the poles and wires are a nuisance, unsightly in appearance and dangerous te life, and that it is net within the power of the city authorities te autheiize their erection against the will of the property owners. They propose te prove that aerial electric wires are unnecessary, since they can be carried underground. They have proved lliat the underground system Is successful in Londen. They have also proved that the aerial wires are daugereus te touch when charged with electric cm rent. " Ne one who kncwanjthlngef it" said the expert witness " would dare te han dle the wires while the current was in operation." Daily we read in the news of accidents caused by the contact of man and beast with electric wires in the streets. During fires they are particu larly te be dreaded, since the firemen can hardly avoid them ; communication is made with the current even through the water streams falling en the w ira. All change is net Improvement ; and this may be said with particular ferce of the present state et our effort te utilue electricity for light. Seme day we may knew enough te secure the desired illluminatien without the dangers i.n.l inconveniences that new attend it, and make it a very undesirable thing te un dertake te handle. Ihe t'eart is Learning. The Pullman palace car company will net relish the decision just made by our supreme court, which holds it re sponsible for thefts from the passengers It carries, unless it can show te the satis faction of the jury that it took proper care te prevent such thefts. As a jury will be likely te ba convinced that such proper care has net been taken, when a theft is proved, the decision practicall make3 the Pullman company responsible for anything stolen from these it carries. It seems te be rather a hard decision for the company. Carrying pas3enger3 packed away in the sardine like manner of the sleeping coach, it is net easy te see hew the utmost vigilance would make theft impossible. The decision really subjects the I'ullman company te the liability of the hotel keeper or common carrier, although the court aeenmocencedo that it is net either. The company can probably relieve "su rrem responsibility by requiring all its passengers, who Uesirc te held it responsible for their losses, te deposit their valuables with tlie car conductor ; though this may be a remedy worse lean the disease, since a certain preper. tioneftho conductors would be apt te skii when they had a tempting sum en hand. Probably the decision of our court is a righteous one, If it did tnke a littlojudi littlejudi cial legislation te bring it out. The I'ullmau company charges enough te enable it te pay all tlie losses its passen gers suffer from theft. In truth, there is no duty that the court can impose ou a carrying company which will net be welcomed by the public. We trust that this is tlie beginning of nseriesef decis decis iens by our supreme court, intended te protect the public from the man) im Positions of the railroad companies. Tlie court has net heretofore been conspicuously thus inclined. 1 1 is learn ing.

A Pmi.tuEiritii Sunday newspaper, which was started seme months age, and whic'j c tiled itseir Truth aud preiessed te be a Democratic journal, has died a nat ural death very natural. It belied its nam.; and chained its professions by utnv in te sew dissocsieas in the party aud by doing the dirty work of a faction of peht icil blackmailers. In the midst of the la'e campaign, and while every patriotic Demecrat in tbestate was striving te pre ruote and maintain harmony m the rauks, Truth attempted te read out of the Dotue cratie organisatien one after another of thep who have lout wisdom te its coun cils and vigor te its campaigns. Senators Wallace, Wolverton.llall, Iviug, Iveunedy. and ether conspicuous figures at Harris burg, wero freq'tent targets for its malice and Kiisrepreentatbn , Lieutenant Gov Gov ereor Black, wIioje Democracy is pure aud unJeilled, was week after week denounced by it as a pliant tool in the bauds of Republican plotters . Senater Coxe was branded ns a "pismire Democrat" and t'ae cha.rman of the Democratic state oenuutteo was accused et being false te h:s party and in league with Its enemies. Tue professed proprietorship and nominal oliteii.ii manaemaut of the enterprise disclaimed all responsibility ler its utter ances , aud there never was any uncer tainty as te the source whence they pre caeded. The fact that the turbid stream has ceased te den is proof that its supply fountains ure dried up they were beyond the possibility of purification. Tun llurisburg P.itnet, with much P-.T3i-.tenc), declares that there are certain Rjpubhaau clerks in seme of the depart ments at the state capital tinder Demo cratic control, who " must go." It bases its demand ou the facis that Repubhcau state officers oxpel Domecratio suberdi nates and that the result of the late olec elec olec tieu preves that the Republican; de net appreciate and the Dymecrata de uet ap prove the appointment or retoatie'i ey Domecratio chiefs of ReblUyu citrus.

Shenandoah is the second largest town in Miu)lkill county, having n ppul.Uien variously estimated from 11,000 te 11.000 inhabit ant. The town is situated twelve miles uerth of Pettaville, en a hill.
