Candidates.
FOR ASSOCIATE JUDGE,
MORDf.CAI MILLARD,
CF.NTKE TOWNSHIP.
The present indications are that
the Hastings ring of the Republican
party will be victorious in the fight for
the state chairmanship. What then ?
A funny story is told of Senator
Quay and Lloyd T. Rohrbach, of
Sunbury, Rohrbach is a candidate for
state treasurer and has the naming of
the three delegates from Northumber
land county. After President liar-
rison's election Rohrbach, who hid
alw ays been a worker for the Repub
lican party in Northumberland county,
decided 10 become a candidate for
ollector of internal revenue. He
was a personal friend of Senator Cam
cron. and expected his support for
t'.ie oiace. He cot all his papers
itadv, and when he went to Washing
ton to file them he discovered that
Senator Cameron had cone to Eu
rope.
Rohrbach's friends insisted on his
poing to Senator Quay for assistance.
This he did, but, so the story goes,
Senator Quay did not know him and
told him frankly that he did not con
sider him in politics in Pennsylvania,
This miffed Rohrbach. He filed his
papers, however, and the other man
got the place. Rohrbach did not for
get Qua's words and said at the
time that perhaps the day would
come when Quay would be convinced
he was in politics, one story goes
that a short time ago, when the pre
sent state fkrit warmed up, one of
Quay's messengers called on Rohr
bach and said the senator would like
to see him in Harrisburg the next day,
" YV hat does he want with me ?
asked Mr. Rohrbach of the messenger.
" He wants to see you about the
coming political fight," answered the
messenger.
" Well, you go back and tell yout
friend Senator Quay that I don't con
sider that he is in politics in Pennsyl
vania." Judicial Contest.
The contest opened on Wednes
day afternoon, Judges Archibald and
Searle being on the bench, Judge Rice
having rtuio.i now liiC case by reason
of ! s .ippoir.trnent as President Judge
of the Superior Court. In view of thu
tact that the Act of Assembly sncci
hcally states that the contest court
shall be composed of the three Presi
dent Judges residing nearest the must
populous cuauly iu the district and as
this court is not at present so consti-luu-d
it is lc.-l.cved by the attorneys
for the ce'.i'.LSUnts that this court can
not n.ike any decree that will be bind
ing euher as 10 which of the judges
fchail be entitled to the seat as judge,
01 as to costs, and on the convening
of the touit on Wednesday afternoon
they filed a motion protesting against
going on with the case until such time
as the court shall be legally constitu
ted. Judge Woodward, of Luzerne,
having recently been commissioned as
PreideM Judge and residing nearer
to this county than any other Presi
dent Jud;e would seem to bi the
proper Judge to act. This motion
was overruled by Judges Archibald
and Searle and the contest continued,
the respondents finishing their testi
mony yesterday forenoon and the con
testants taking up their rebuttal and
finishing it by noon. The court and
attorneys then went over to Laporte
where the taking of testimony will be
concluded this week and the work of
opening the ballot boxes and count
ing the legal votes will then be com
menced. Tunkhannock Democrut.
Suit Against Luzerne Commissioners
Wu.ki:s Bakre, July 12. About
nine months ago the County Commis
sioners of Luzerne County advertised
for plans for a new court house. The
terms ot Elijah J. Meyers, of Detroit,
were accepted. He was to be paid
$10,000 down and $10,000 when the
plans were completed. The newspa
pers roasted the commissioners un
mercifully for paying out any money
until the plans were accepted. To
add to the complications, no site
could Le atreed upon, and later
number of taxpayers got out an in
junction to prevent the commissioners
from building at all. Meyers submit
ted hia plans six weeks ago, but tne
commissioners said they could not
accept mem. Meyers said that was
no fault of his. He had done his
work all right. The architect failing
to get his money has brought suit
against the commissioners to recover,
Religious Garb Bill.
The religious garb bill passed by
the recent legislature, and signed by
the (rrvcrii-v as follows:
" An net to prevent the wealing in
the public schools of th;s Common
wealth, by any of the teachers thereof,
of v.f.y d' itis'gira. inatks or em
blems in.'.i 'a'Ji'c; the fact that such
tr.irher is an adiiercit or member of
,'.n n'iglous order, or denomina
tion, and imposing a fine upon the
boaid of diicctors of ar.y public school
permitting the same.
14 Whk.rkas. It is important that
a'.l i.ppeai a.iccs of sectarianism should
avoided in tiic administration of
the public schools of this Common
wealth.
" Section' i. Be it enacted, etc.,
that no teacher in any public school
of this Commonwealth shall wear in
said school or whilst engaged in the
performance of his or her duty as
such teacher, any dress, mark.emblem
or ipsignia indicating the fact that such
teacher is a member or adherent of
any religious order, sect or denomina
tion. " Section 2. That in case of vio
lation of the provisions of the first
section in this act by any teacher em
ployed in any of the public schools
of this Commonwealth, notice of
which having been previously given
to the school board employing such
teachers, that it shall be the duty of
such school board to permanently
suspend such teacher from employ
ment in such school for the term of
one year, and in case of a second
offence by the same teacher it shall
be the duty of the said school board
to permanently disqualify such teacher
from teaching in said school, and any
public school director failing to com
ply with the provisions of this act shall
be guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall
be punished upon conviction of the
first offence by a fine not exceeding
$100, and in case of a second convic
tion of the violation of the provision
of this act, the offending school di
rector shall be punished by a fine not
exceeding $100, and shall be deprived
of his or her office as a public school
director. A person thus twice con
victed shall not be eligible to appoint
ment or election as a director of any
public school in this State within a
period of five years from the date of
his or her second conviction."
A NEW SYSTEM FOR MINING COAL.
COLLIERIES WILL GIVE EXCAVATING
WORK OUT TO THE LOWEST KIDDER.
Hazleton, July 16. The several
coal companies in this vicinity are
making extensive preparations to mine
coal on a much larger scale than here
tofore at the several collieries in this
region. The Lehigh Valley Coal
Company leads in this respect. Next
month they lake hold of the Stockton
collieries, which have been operated
under a lease by Linderman & Skeer
for a number of years.
At their Jeanesville collieries the
company proposes to begin a new sys
tern ot mining coal at their strippings.
Instead of doing the work themselves
as heretofore they propose to give it
out by contract and have the lovest
uicljer cut and transport the coal to
the colliery. In tins way it is believed
that they can do it much cheaper than
Dy the oid system. In this line, an
minense contract caning tor tue ex
cavation ot nearly 3,000,000 cubic
yards of earth, is to be given out at
Sugar Loaf and No. 3 collieries.
L. A. Riley & Co. have commenced
the sinking of a r.ew slope at German
town. The Gennantown collieries
have not been operated for twenty
years and were supposed to have been
worked out. According to the plans
prepared, the mines will be the largest
in the country and will have resources
greater than anv other now in opera
tion. After sinkins the slope soo feet
elow the surface tunnels will be
driven across the basin, tapping the
mammoth vein. A tunnel will also
be driven to the Lykens Valley vein
on tne south biae, and a gang way
driven from there to the Big Mine
Run draining tunnel, after which the
water from the Old Germantown work
ings and Wadleigh veins will be tap
ped and run through this tunnel.
The contract for driving the tunnels
has not been given out yet, but will
be in the course of a few days. The
tunnels will be a great saving to the
company, inasmuch as the carrying of
the water to Bier, Mine Run drainage
way will do away with the massive
pumps now used at the Bast colliery,
I he territory thus cpnnected by sub
terranean passageways is about twenty
miles m extent and will give a direct
underground opening between Locust
Dale and Preston Hill, penetrating
two mountain chains.
Times continue to improve under a
Democratic administration. The Pull
man Palace Car Company has ad
vanced the wages of its 4,000 employes
10 per cent. 1 he Philadelphia Z,edjer
( Republican) says "the advance is
due to the bright business outlook."

for the Governor to anm-;: ire h
as a candidate for Presidu.t 1
State Convention, and on the
bed-
side that it is unbecoming for a I
nitc
States Senator to announce lmusclf a
candidate for chairman ol tue Suite
committee.
In this regard the Senator ;md Gov
ernor stand upon pitciseiy '.he o.uin.
footing. There is nothing in the
dignity of the office held by cuhcr to
hinder him from accepting any repre
sentative position within his party.
Both have triumphed by party oig.mi
ation and party methods ) both are
nterested in maintaining party as
cendency, and it is entirely proper
hat either should aspire to preside
over a convention or over a Mate
committee to attain desired political
results.
So far as surface indications present
ie attituue ot the cliiet belligerents.
the conflict began when Senator Quay
publicly announced hiiiise.lfasac.int.il
ate for chairman of the Republican
State committee. There was nothing
that announcement to arouse the
agaressive opposition of the Governor
unless he felt that the movement was
aimed at the destruction of his politi
cal power in the State.
Whether Quay, Gnkeson, I listings
or any other intelligent member ol
the party should be chairman of the
State committee could be of little con
sequence unless the organization of
the party was to be actively used to
advance one factional interest and
estroy another. The fact that Quay's
announcement of his candidacy lor
chairman of tne State committee was
followed by a formal announcement
from Hastirgs that he was a cand
ate for the Presidency of the State
Convention, clearly indicated lliu
these two most prominent of all the
political leaders in the State had lock
d horns for a desperate battle with
each other.
The significance of the Governor's
candidacy for president of the State
Convention is in the fact that the
president, under the ordinarily accept
ed rules of the partv, is the final
arbiter in selecting the chairman of
the State committee. The issue was
thus well understood, and it was ac
cepted on both sides that Quay's
struggle was to wrest the organization
of the party, not so much fiom Gov
Hastings individually as from Martin,
Magee and others who had taken
shelter under the protection of the
State administration, and that th
Governor's battle was to defeat Quay
and retain the party 017-1 ivzition with
in the circle of his special friends,
Pactional struggles usually develop
more intense bitterness than the ordi
nary conflicts between great parties,
and the battle between the Republican
factions of Pennsylvania has degener
ated into a deeree of v. !ci;ri; an
defamation that cannot be approve
by fair-minded men ot t; ic party,
regardless of their pers;,.il prefer
ences. so tar as persoi.a. a-ss.v.iits
upon Hastings and Quay are made
by opposing fact'.omr.'.s. the efforts
will command little symyat'r.y f.'oi.i
either side, and the extravagant
figures sent out from the factional
bureaus, each claiming 1. early or
quite two thirds of the delegates to
the next State Convent ate :vi cpt
ed by all dispassionate observers as
simply illustrating the sar:r'r.ti"e ab
surdities of factional strife.
Both confess that the battle is a
de
csperate and Uouutct ov.i. What
ever they may say a? to the number
of delegates they clai-n, they both
belie their statement. by the ex
haustive efforts made to win the
fight. If either Hastings or Quay
had two thirds ot the convention as
sured, cr anything like it, that side
would not have a literary bureau and
peripatetic agents in every part of
Pennsylvania.
It is absolutely settled that no op
position will be made M GDvernor

which he is an avowed candidate. He

publican State Convention by a unani"
mous vote ; it is reasonably certain
also that the six Judges he appointed
to the Superior Court will be nomi
nated by the convention, and all ot
them could be thus chosen without
opposition. A personal defeat of the
Governor is therefore not involved in
the conflict, but it is claimed by the
Governor's friends that the election of
Quay as chairman of the State com
mittee would be a defeat of Hastings.
If so, why so ? It can be so only by
the Governor making a direct issue
and compelling the party to accept
the election of Quay as the defeat of
Hastings. This is the weak point in
the Governor's armor, and the one
that will prove fatal to him unless he
shall so completely control the con
vention that he can punish Quay and
any other foes within the party to his
utmost bent. I'hiht. Times.
