Tue action of Third district Republic ins yesterday in in structing for his re -nomination at the May convention is a broad hint of the inevitable as it now appears. Mr Grow will have the voice and vote not only of every Lackawanna Republican, but also ot hundreds who have been won from the error of misinided polit ical ways. The Democratic press it displaying its lest humorous propensity in an ef fort to ridicule Mr. Heed's statement that, since lstio, protection has raised the purcnasing faint of wages in this (ountry ninety-seven per cent It Is a Hiunirjcant fact, however, thut it does not attempt to disprove the assertion, which is founded on statistics as accu rate as the multiplication tkble. Mere ly trying to laugh it out of sight is as good as a concession of its truthfulness The BtTtUlaO Washington Post has made a collection of Cleveland epi grams, witticisms, auKilotes and at tempt's at repartee. The collection as a whole impress's at hi being some what wearisome aud ponderous Never theless, there is one gem la the list which seems worthy of a re-setting. It is the assertion of Mr. levelaud to bis chum, Don M. Uickinson, that "an enemy is never so thoroughly defeated as when one refuses to qiurrel with bin." it is svidsnt from coutumpra ry indications that Btnator David li. ilill is not yet "thoroughly defeated."

Any friction or npoertainty as to the meaning of the law tends inevitably to obstruct aud impair the efficiency of that system's practical aud daily operation, and thus to augment tue miserv of the sys tem's helpless beneficiaries. The change iu sentiment which lias devel oped since the law was last revised should have clear and explicit reuog ultiou iu the statutes of the comm u wealth, it should no longer be due to chance, local generosity or the waiving of possible legal interference that un fortunates are enabled to obtain relief through the performance of liouorabl-t work upon terms Involving no public reproach, rather tuau be carted iguoiu miously "over the hills to the poor house,'' that unequalled graveyard of of hope, ambition and sslf respict The present difference of and put fit rami into office.

Oould'a retirement as its man aging editor. Anew relationship has been formed by which Mr. Gould will have control of the Herald's weekly issue, which is to be doubled iu size and otherwise improved. Mr. Gould is a Tkiui'se graduate who has acquitted himself admirably since bis entrance into the journalism of the upper end. 1'nder his coutrol the Daily Herald has achieved a place among the very toremost ot inland state journals. That bis new venture will be equally successful can be confi dently predicted from The TRIBUNE'S knowledge of tbe man. to assert t lint, its enactment is "glviug to the country what It asks for" is tanta mount to declurlng that the idle and starving thousands ask fur continued idleness aud starvation lustcad of work aud bread.

ATTuRSEV Genkkw HrVSBL'S reply to Treasurer Powell's questions re specting the theatrical license problem is an opinion full of common sense. The- paragraph exonerating county treasurers from "active duties In the way of fsrrtsing out attempted, pre sumable or actual violations of the law" may annoy casuists, but it will be pleasaut reading tu thousands of Pennsylvania theater goers who do not wish to encourage violations even of a discredited pioneer law yet who, at the same time, do not especially desire to see that law enforced. The natural In ference from the attorney general's brief is that the heavens will continue to span the sales even it (bis law be not. lived up to in tbe fulness or its ami will be valuable to the public if it shall lead to a correct definition of the law as it exists, thus clearing the pathway to any amsuduaats tnat may bs thought necessary. The present uncer tain location of authority under the special act of ISO! is an anomalous con dition whose further continuauc would be a redaction upon the fairness of our legislative aissmbly. VieWel from any standpoint, the question bril ties with perplexities which could b-j most satisfactorily removed by the framing of a complete, new law, appll - cable uniformly to all similar districts in the state. It WILL be very agreeable news to tbe numerous friends of Rev. Dr. Warren G Partridge, pastor of the Peun Avenue Baptist church in Scran too, and elsewhere throughout Pennsyl vania, that lie has decide 1 not to ac cept a recent call to the pastorate of the First Bsptist church of Syracuse, N. V. In many particulars this call embodied one of tbe highsst tributes that could be paid to a Christian minister It was acompli ment to his learning, bis eloquence and bis piety that will . questionably be r grstef ul recollection iu bis m mi ory aud that of his friends. Uut tho peculiarly warm and cordial relation ship that exists between Dr. Partridge and members of his Penn avmue con gregation has happily carrlel the day, a fact which will be most pleasantly received by every Scrantouian in tonch with the success that has atten lei Dr Partridge's ministrations In this city. . - CIVIL SERVICE REFORM. Ills announced In the columns of a local contemporary that collector Grant Herring "makes uo pretensions to being a civil service reformer." Well, so much the better It is unfor tunately to often the case that the poll liclan wiio makes the most pretensions is the one that do-e the least genuine reforming It is not always the man who occupies sll his energy in tellimr whet h" intends to do tnat really does the most In this world. Oie trouble with civil service reform irs those who spell their titles with large letters and find a melancholy solace iu the ir reverent designation. "Mugwump!' is that by tin tiius they get ready to do something, they too frequently dis cover that theif mental resource hSTe been eaten up in superfluous prellml naries. On instance In point suggests itself in the speech deliverei in New York tbe other evening by an eminent edu cator, tbe president of 'a prominent American university, wno exhausted a laign amount of really valuable energy iu sucn serio omic rhetoric as this The party of moral reform mean tooon vert the epigram "Public ottoe is a public trutt " intoati actuality.
