The Quay Hastings fig'it goes
menily on If you want to know
which is ahead, reail a Quay paper,
and you will find that he already has
captured a majority of the delegates.
Then peruse a Hastiness organ, and
you will find that the Governor owns
the earth.
The State Convention of Demo
cratic Societies will be held in Lan
caster this year. The time has not
yet been designated. The Young
Men's Democratic Society, strong in
numbers and with one of the finest
iub rooms in the State, is already
making arrangements for the conven
tion. A reception committee of twenty
five has been appointed to arrange all
the details for the convention and the
entertainment of the Democrats who
will be present. Richard M. Reilly,
a popular young Democrat, is chair
man of the committee.
There is but one cadidate to be
nominated in this county at the coming
Democratic convention, and that fs
for the office of Associate Judge.
Mordecai Millard, the present in
cumbent, is the only candidate ; and
will be nominated by acclamation.
There has been some discussion as to
whether this nomination cannot be
made by the Standing Committee,
and thus avoid the expense of the
convention which must necessatily
fall on one man, and he a candidate
for an office with only a small salary.
There is no rule providing for such a
case, but it might be done by
general consent, if there were nothing
else to be considered. The state
convention which meets in William
sport in September, will nominate six
candidates for Judges of the Superior
court, and the coming county conven
tion must elect the delegates from
this county to that convention. Under
tli 3 nles the Standing Committee can
el-.-ct deletes to the state convention
wliere that convention is heid before
the county convention. Such is not
the case this year, and hence the
d'.'le'rn.tps tnit be elected by thp con
vention. There eems no way out of
it b'.:t to V old tho convention in the
u'ttal way. Would it not he advisable
to anend the p.-rty rules so that when
there is no contest for county nomina
ti ".ns. th' convention may be dis
p. n"cd wi'b. and such nominations
ur.y he ma-i ; by the Standing Com
mittte ; and in such case the Staivl
committee shall r.lso curl the
delegates to the slat- r-.iTivcntton. This
would some-times K'.i'c candidates
fioni burdensome expense.
THE j el I DIAL CON l'LS i".
WHAT KLMAINS To UK UoN'E EXCEi
TluXS THAT WILL l)E TAKEN I'.Y AT
TORNEYS. In lac Sitioei' Duhliaiii judicial con
test case the attorneys on both sides
are busy making out briefs to be pre
sented to the contest court at Laporte
on Aug. 6. These briefs will set
forth in detail all the votes which they
will ask to have thrown out, together
with their reasons for so asking, and
will embody all the rulings which the
court will be asked to make. The
order of procedure will then be for
the judges to pass upon the matters
presented, to which finding each party
may file exceptions, and the argument
of the case will be upon the excep
tions tiled, at such time as then be
fixed. The whole case will then be
on record and in shape for a writ of
error to the .Supreme Court should
either party desire it.
Among the things which the court
will be asked to rule upon will be the
constitutionality of the act under
which it is constituted. The iurisdic
tion of the court and its right to act
since the retirement of Judge Rice
and the authority for substituting
juoge woodward at this staee of th
proceedings, will also be questioned
uy ootn sides.
Another interesting question to be
passed upon will be the motions to
throw out the entire noil i n rert-m'n
precincts where the polling places
were changed before election without
an order of court, as required by law.
If all so challenged should be thrown
out it would make a net gain for
Judge Dunham of forty-one votes.

DECIMOV WHICH SUSPENDS THE OPERA
TION OK THE COMPULSORY EDUCA
TION act until '96 -a Saving
OF MANY Tli'M'SANP i OF lOI..
LARS TO THE COi VI U.S.
Attorney (' :y.Ci& McConnick gave
the departmsiit of puoiie instruction
an opinion which practically suspends
the operations ot the compulsory edu
cation law until next year. Section
four of the Fair act le piires the as
sessors to make a registration at the
regular Spring assessment, or as soon
thereafter as may be of all the chil
dren in tl districts be
tween the ages of eight and thirteen
years, giving name, age and residence
of each. Upon the completion of
this registration the county commis
sioners are required to certify the
names to the secretary of the proper
school district, who shall immediately
furnish the principal or teacher of each
school with a list of the children in
his or her district who are subject to
the provisions ot the compulsory law.
In order to answer many inquires
Deputy Superintendent Stewart asked
the attorney general whether county
commissioners are required to furnish
the necessary blanks and books to
the assessors immediately preparatory
to making the enumeration and en
rollment this year, and whether the
duty of making this registration is
mandatory upon the assessors and
commissioners before the Spring regis
nation of voters in 1 89G. As the act
was not approved until May 23 and
the Spring assessment was completed
in all the counties the attorney
general decided that the section must
refer to the assessment in the Spring
of 1896 and so instructed the school
department. This decision will save
the counties many thousands of dol
lars as arrangements were being made
for a special registration.
A DEAL TOE NEXT GOVERNOR.
I E1SENUING, OK LUZERNE, SAID TO
HE PROMISED SUCCESSION TO
HASTINGS BY THE COMHINE.
Hazleton, July 22. For some
time the ftiends of Congressman John
Leisenring have been endeavoring to
shape matters to launch him as a
Gubernatorial candidate on the Re
publican ticket in 189S. To the po
liticians of this section this fact has
been quite clear and his recent
alliance with Governor Hastings and
the Philadelphia leaders showed that
the boom was forming. It came this
morning when the following significant
article from the pen of Editor Boyd
appeared in the Wilkes-Darre New
Dealer, the strongest Democratic
paper in the county , and at present an
anti-Quay organ. It says in part:
" Hon John Leisenring is an emi
nently practical politician, and the
story that the Hastings allies have
made terms with him on the basis
that he will be a candidate for
Governor in 1898 is not to be doubt
ed. There is no reason why he
should not be made tlio nevt Guber
natorial candidate to succeed Hast
ings and his delerminati jh should be
encouraged. The Ni.vs-D.ui'er is
for a candidate for Governor from
Lu.eme, and if the candidate is a
Republican it om'iit to he Leisenrincr.
the man who wop the ceatest politi
cal battle in the history of the
county."

Pay for Judges and Inspectors.
Under the law passed by the legisla
ture and approved by the Governor,
the pay of judges and inspectors of
elections will hereafter be $t.co. and
of clerks $3, without regard to how

election and making up the returns.
Under the operation of the law there

Tim Pasaiu;', Of The Pos-j.
From all over tiie country there
conies a cry of distress from horse
men. It was he. ml, ;ih'iouj;h r! so
loudly, when the rulrotu tVs. app;.-: r
ed, and the iis.,a'i,nJs : the it.; ,
coach was at v en The belief
then was that all he p. .(-pic w io w re
dependent for livelihood upon their
connection with horses would suffer,
but it was soon found that new Ikl's
of employment were thrown open for
this nob'e animal, and it may be said
that since the introduction of the
steam engine he has furnished work
and pleasure for mankind on a wider
scale than was ever thought or dream
ed of.
But there is really cause for the
complaining that is heard now. It is
estimated that the trolley has displac
ed at least 50,000 horses, and in ad
dition to this comes the bicycle,
which is almost in universal use. In
dependent of the tens of thousanils of
people who use the wheel for health
ful exercise and pleasure, it is displac
ing the horse to some extent in the
army and the police f.rce. Then, too.
carriages propelled by gas or elertri
city are being expeiimented with.
They are coming into use in France,
and doubtless now tln.t better roads
are soon likely to become the rule in
this country, horse traction may, in
the end, have no part in travel on
public highways.
There were, according to statistics,
16,000,000 horses, in this country
last year, the aggregate value of which
was placed at $770,000,000. That
value must have undergone a large
shrinkage, and it would, be of interest
to know if this reduction in price may
not suggest to people who arc fond of
horses, but who so far have found
themselves unable to buy them, that
they can afford to do so now. If the
cost of keeping them was also to be
lessened this idea might be more
readily acted upon, but there is not
much prospect of such reduction.
One thing more is, however, to be
noted, that with the passing of the
horse one avenue for the consumption
of oats will have been closed, and it
remains to be seen what new direc
tion will be taken. Horses will al
ways be valued for racing purposes
They will still be found in carriages,
and the love of riding across country
is not likely to die out. But it is
the demand of the many that will be
the great and controlling factor in the
question, and certainly it looks to-day
as if many influences were operating
against the continuance of an animal
which has had such a prominent
place in history. I'hila. Inquirer.

The Philadelphia Inquirer prints a
list of republican newspapers in Penn

Quay or Hastings in the present fight.
There are eighty-two for Quay, and
twenty eight for Hastings. The Col
umbia County liepublican is put in
the Quay list. We have not observed
any positive declaration in the lie
publican on this subject, but it has
been urging the republican voters not
to introduce a fight in this county. It
is generally understood that Mr.
Brown is for Quay, and it is confi

SUITS
FROM S10.00.
Governor Hastings' friends now
claim they will have 184 delegates in
the coming state convention and sub
stantiate their claims with figures.
These figures are based in part on an
estimate made by the Philadelphia
Ledger recently in which 145 of the
289 delegates are put down for the
administration, 117 for Senator
Quay, sixteen as doubtful and eleven
unaccounted for. That newspaper
is taking a conservative position in
the contest and its statements are
given weight by both factions.
Those in charge of the campaign
against Senator Quay have made a
careful analysis of these figures and
are convinced the governor's friends
will control the convention, thereby
insuring the re-election of Colonel
Gilkeson. Starting with Adams coun
ty, whose two delegates are put down
for Senator Quay, the administration
claims one and concedes the other to
the Beaver senator. Colonel Quay is
given four of twenty-seven delegates
from Allegheny, although Governor
Hastings has the assurance of Magee
and Senator Flinn that the "old
man " will get only three.
