Judging from what sulowaiic critic ay. it will le u mistake by the uian nnoment of the new hotel Jeitnyn to devote the lower lloor to store rooms, thus Unvinsr no coign of vnnUge for the festive porch lounger. To bo miro, the contlaiul presence of this individ ual npon the ed;o of the sidewalk and in full view of nil who may chance to pass, is not metropolitan, nor, in the ense of laduj thus forced to run a blockade of curiotn, and sometimes impertinent, eyes, is it particularly pleasant. Hut it U a meat delight to floor committees. And whom else is the new hotel built for? NOT SHED IN VAIN. With the exception of its regularly eubeuliztd orunns in Troy, Albany and Buffalo, the New York Btite Djiuo cratic machine, which sustains it political hold by flagrant prostitution of the public will and does not scruple at uuprovoked murder when almtUS to foist its favorities into power, DM, since hst Towday'd outrage at Troy, not a solitary newspaper apologist in the length and breatb of tae Empire commouwealth lastsftd of diminish- in? in a ratio correpoudiu.' to the Ross tragedy's historical recession public indignation at that brutal oritn is hourly o:i the increase; and the con damnation of boss rule aud boss methods is swvlliiu' into a chorus covering not Now York state alone, but the sntire continent uj well AsTbiTRI bcne instantly foresaw wueu it first r cvived tilt news of las: Tuesdiy'a cold blooded crime, this rnthlssi slaughter by thiuum's aganta of an upright and lawahiJing ciiz-n, while in the voluntary and valiant per- formanca of a bravo oltizena honest duty, has prove 1 tho added dro; which ovet'.l'.vjl the back.it; the crowning atrocity wtiieh, alter years of patient and uncomplaining toWr ance, has brctwbt down the dlue Not since that other loyal sou of Troy Frank Browne!!, shot down the slayer of gallant Colo lei Ellsworth, in th hallway of th Marshall Hon.3 at Alex andria, Va,, when Ellsworth had trie. to pluck down the defiant, floating em blem of disunion, has there been a re sponse more direct, instant and gen eral. It has DOt been a partisan re sponse, although the tnnrdsr of Ross was a partisan murder. It baa not b.ei an ocasiou for MCOaitftll "cuckoo" talk. Only ona sentiment has been voiced by th reputable citi lensliip of the country, irrespective of partisan and tbttssntiiosnt most eordisl detestation of tim system that breeds such awful deeds. ernmetital affairs of our home com munity? Are wo guarding, as w hould, the portals of our council chambers aud exercising thatuuvary- tig concern touching ull the various details of our government ns a city which is tho inevitable price of Inmost rule? If we are, thou we used not pause to consider further the general lesson of Kobert Ross' death. But if we are not, there is need at once of enrneft and decisive thought with rof oi 'nee to these things. COLOMBL McCLCRI doubtless meaus well in nominating Commodore Ging erly for governor, but it isaslyle of kindness that bustles with iinesttoii marks. Jamks P. TAYLOR, tha genial editor of the Montrose Republican, is to be a oan didate for representative in the stale legislature this fall. It is nunonnced that his candidacy will be unopposed In the nominating convention which, of course, meaus a certain elaotion, as Susuushaumi is more overwhelmingly Republican than ever this year. Mr. Taylor, who at one time was editor of the Wilkas-Hsrro Record, pnroaased the Republican about eighteen yew ago, and during hie resiJonce iu the county has always labored faithfully for the success of the pirty. The elec tion of Brother Taylor to the legisla ture by the Susqnehanna Republicans will be a graceful recognition of fnitli ful service. RICHARD CkOKKK SQQQid be reminded that his threatened arrest of Represen tative Dunphy for telling tales out of school still bdongs to the limbo of the great unrealized. It is well said by the Democratic Brooklyn Eagle, whose ex-Troj in edi tor, :St. Clair McKelway, lias recently dene such valiant service in the purifi cation of our municipal government, and whose energetic warfare upon "Boss" McLmghlin and, later, on "Boss" McKane, contributed vastly to the overthrow of these odious offshoots of the new political science called Murphyiem it is well sail by the Eagle, ia this connection, that "the people are not crying out against frau 1 because it is done by th agents of one party against another, but bacauso they are opposed to fraud itself. The sta bility of th gorernment depia Is upon the confidence of the people in the horuaty of the elections." Instances could be cited in abundance in onr owu state in proof that this is true, in proof that crimrs which look horrible whnn committed by the enemy are no longer converted into virtues by the mrfi imprint of one's own party label If there is one fact clearer than all others in the politic il process of this generation, whether we soek for evidence in one state or another, it is th fact that fraudulent practices aimed at the franchise are steadily falling into pnb lie disrepute. No other sentiment than a common morality could, in our own atate, have banished the old style bal lot and substituted, in its steal, agiinst the practically ananitnotn wish of the practical politicians, the secret ballot, with its fair assurauca of privacy in tha voting and its approximate houesty in the count Bat it has been for somo time necessary that toil oommon and general morality should bav th quick ening impulse of a new and sharp in citement; that it should be fertilizsd into renewed and expanded strength by the rude impact of some severe shock. Well, therefore, did William Rosi, of Troy, say when questioned as to a me morial: "Tho only monument we de sire for onr brother Rob is the promise of a pure ballot." And not the prom ise, but the gnrous and jealous ful filment ia what his countryman fairly owe to Robert Ross' memory. But the lesson of this martyr's doath Applies also oUewhen than to cities creaking and groaning; under bossism'a gigantio misrule. Wo are accustomed to felicitate ourselves here in SorantOQ that we have not yet known, as a par -aonal civic experience, this monstrous distortion of republicanism called Murphyisra for short. In contempla tion of the servility that prevails in many other cities, and in view of the rampant fraud with which the franchise is elsewhere beset, we have been prone to draw tho mantle of a su perior godliness abont our young shoulders and to oomfort ourselros with the delusion that we are safe from theso evils. Safe? How do w know that we ire safe? What praoti caj preparation are we doing to make not problematic il, but certain, onr security against this con taminating municipal contagion? Are we vaccinating onr civic veins with th virus of a wholesome vigilance? Are we fortifying our body politie with true earnestness of mnnicipal patriot ism and a proper Interest in the gov- KOR JUDGE, B. W. LEWIS. In the nomination by acclamation yesterday of B W, Lewis, of Tutik bannoek, for president judge of the Forty-fourth judicial district, the Re publicans of Wyoming county have placid a most creditable and worthy oiudidatu in the fislrt. Mr. Lewis is reCOgnind in his profession as one of tiio belt aud olosest sin lent of the law in this part of Pennsylvania. He ii a man of wide culture, superior scholar ship and excellent personal adJresj. In his civic, ns well as in his professional relations, he has manifested a disposi tion of fairuess aud probity which, taken in connection with his other qualifications, well .jualifi him for ire successful disclnrgi of the judic ial function. Forjudge Sitser personally TBI Tut liusE entertains only the kindest feel ings. It has no dasira to dscry his character as a man or his efficiency as i jurist. But his ronomiaation b? the Democrats of the Forty-fourth dis trict, taking plac-i la full mmwryof ,i.o light of ton years a,'o in which he waged successful partisan onslaught upon JuJgj Ingham, will release his Republican f ri--u la from all obligations of support an 1 if he shall be treated to i dose of his own political medicine he will have no one but himself to blami In an issns between Judge Sitser mid Mr. Lewis there can be no possible room for doubt as to the duty of all true Republicans. Mr. Lewis is the unanimous nominee of the Republican party , he is a candidate having every reasonable claim to the earnest support oi his fellow-Ropublicans, and he ap peals, ; moreover, to all citizens of what ever party who, in their regard for a non-partisan judiciary, shall next fall wish to rotniko the introduction of par tisan politics in this district ten years ago. It will b strange, indeed, if the result of next November's election, with its almost inevitable tidal wave of Republican majorities, shall not places Mr. Lowis safely and fairly in the Wyoming-Sullivau president judge ship. of us overlook a similar, although minor, evil at our very doors.

This can be done only through the ar raignment of th derelict borongh of ticida, including burgess and council- men. The law required the creation of a board of health.

An experiment which will bo watched with gner.il Interest is to be tried by the commissioners of Scbuyl kill county, in the appintinnt of mounted wardens to patrol the forests md guard them from destructive fires. We have toen as yet no eatlmate of tho probable cost of saoh a fir.) protec tive force, nor any detailed calculations as to how many wardens ar to b i ap portioned to a given number or square miles of woodland. iMerely the an no0nc4ment of the general plan U all that we have to guide ooinmont in this matter; yet it wonld seem to be a fairly feasible reform, provided threatened individual holdings of forest land are willing to afford onorgetio volnntury cooperation.

At a time when lumbermen, railway constructors, acid factories and tanner ies are making dully Inroads upon what remaining lumber we havo In this por tion of tho state; and when noprncti cal steps are taken tnoppDsj this stoady destruction, further than ocoaii nal wordy discussions, it would seem to be eminently opportnno or the Institu tion of vigorous measures tow ird t u prevention of thest cotly recurring conflagrations. Although the first few years' salvage from suoh attempted prevention might not equal th ex pense of its rsclamttlo i tne commun -lty would yet be woll repaid in the re sultant creation of a sentiment adverse to unnecessary woodland spoliation. But while regretting civilisation's hostile invaelon of virgin forests, many N6 Douit Mr. Hiius promised tho Pittsiou postofllce to Candidate Battle.
