Bitterness txists ninouj; the believers of Splrttnallim nt Shamokin over the expose) of the workings of no-c1W1 ined iums that has recently boen innde there by n man named Wellcor, and it is ex pected that interesting developments will follow the row that has been in augurated by the effort of Welker to enlighten tbe people who firmly believe that the "ghost walk" npon other oc casions than tho periods of remunera tion. Iu the work of convincing the i-ntlinaiastic admirers of tho fascina tions of Spooklnnd of the error of thoir way, Mr. Walker, it seems, imperson eted tho medium and materialized tha uneasy spirits of numerous departed relatives of the Shamokin believers. Iu mniiy instances tho female enthusiasts were anxious to embraen and kiss tho materialised shadows of their frlonds, and it is hinted that when the believer was young and handsome Welker nev er objected to being mistaken for a de parted spirit. The people who have been for sev ml months convinced of "the sjifts of the reformer us a medium and have no peptfd his demonstrations and materi Illation of spirits ns fonniuo in every respect nro deeply ohajrinned nt the deception practiced upon them, bnt still rftro to believe that spiritualism i a fraud. Mr. Welket denies the ac OUiation that ba had bliaad the wives nnd daugbteri of somn of tho spiritual ists while impersonating the spirits of their lovad oues, and says that ha nl wnys took care that th" ghosts wore too weak when tho loved ones desired to bo embraced and kissed His ex planation of this part of the transac tion, however, is not satisfactory to the mule portion of the belbvers, nnd the popularity of the reformer is rapidly on the wano in the vicinity of Sharao kin. TBI stat!'. of Allegheny, with a can didate nil its own, will now bo thrown on its honor to do something uncom mon for the entire state ticket. Lackawanna Hospital. Among the Institution! defiled by philanthropy for the good of mankind, noue is more worthy of Iioenl support thai the fr"0 hospital. The care of the lick and nfflioted is one of the strong est obligations enjoined by Christian civilization, a high dagraa of whic'j Is evidenced in every community where well equipped and bountifully endowod hospitals exist. On tho othor hand the absence of snch may b considered as indicating the prevalence of a spirit exactly opposite that by which the good Samaritan of ti:o New Testament was actuated. The foregoing obiervation is simply preliminary to the remark that the Lackawanna hospital of this city lias for n long tiim been gr-mtly hampered in its work by the lack of funds. It is truly a doserviug institution, but can not long remain a credit to tho peoplo of Scrsnton, unless it receives from o;ir citizens moro encouraging support than has of Into been extended to it. Money is needed to defray legitimate running expenses and provide needed improvements to the end that the pro per care nnd treatment of patients may bo insured. It does not Beem, however, that the citizens of Scrsnton, whose reputation for generous giving is so wide spread, need bo strongly appealed to in behalf of tho Lackawanna hospital. The moro publication of tbo fact that its good work la retarded because of the lack of financial support ought to bo snflloient to loosen the pnrse-3tringa of the rich philanthropistsin onr midst, and at the sarno time call forth generous contri butions from nil other cIhskos. At any rate it is sincerely to be hopod that the means required for the future support and impiovomont of this institution mny speedily be forthcoming from some source. Yesterday every bed in all the wards of tho hospital was occupied, which pertinent fact can be added to the above without explanation. L.BT IHK message of Fohruary be re peated in November with compound interest. Punishment for Crime. That ruffians and cold-blooded mur derers are in variably cowards has been shown in every instance where a test has hoe.ii made, nnd examples of lack of nervo of the average tough when forced to undergo bodily suffering are sometimes amusing. Only a few days ago one of the. James boys, the noted de-p'radoes of the west, whose reported exploits wouid furnish material for a whole library of yellow-coverei' tales that excite the sensibilities of tho small boy, desired to be vaccinatod. At tbe first prick of the little quill the des perado, who could shoot down a de fenseless man without a nign of emo tion or remorse, fainted. When it oame toendnring pain bloody James bad not the courage of the average schoolboy. The death of Emilo Henry, the French anarchist, ih nnotbor striking illustration of tbe natural cowardice of a murderer. Henry was noted as one of the most bloodthirsty of his class. His transaction in ousting a dynamite bomb into a crowd of innocent people with the prospect of killing a dozeu or more, and his subsequent behavior would lead one to believe that he was an individual for whom death would have no terrors. Yet a post mortem examination of Henry's body has es tablished the fact almost beyond a doubt that he died of fright. This fiendish wretch, who could deliberately plan nnd cause the death of unfortu nate people with whom ho had not the slightest acquaintance, and could carry through his trial an appearance of bravado, nnd even on his way to the scaffold could pose as a martyr, paled at tho sight of the ituilloline. There was something In tbe appearance of the instrument of death that jarred upon his fteliugs. So great was his terror that life went out with a gasp before tho knife was droppud upon his neck. Scaroely a weelc passos that a senti mental' cry against capital punishment does not nrise from some quarter. All over the land are sprinkled well mean ing people who thick it too bad that red-handed cat-throats and bomb- throwers should be punished. They prefer that murderers should enjoy safo berths for life nt the expense of tho people in some prison whore flow ers can bo sent in occusioually. t ;..-es like that of Henry should demonstrate the fooliahnoss of such theories. The prison has no terrors for tbe average criminal. It is the electrical chair, hangman's knot and the guillotine that keep a check upon enterprises of fiends of the Henry stamp. Enthusiasm ukk that of yesterday was not cut and dried. Tun BATTLB of Hastings will not land either Harrily or Hensel as William the conqueror. Tho Hero of Johnstown. Ily the unanimous nnd enthusiastic nomination of Ueneral Daniel 11. Hast ings, of Rellefonte, for govornor of Pennsylvania, the Republican conven tion yesterday undid the error into which its predecessor had fallen four years before. It deserves to bo said, too, in this connection, that while that error was pointed out by friends of the present nominee, at the time of its commission, neither they nor he did ought to compel yesterday's glad repar ation. Beaten by Mr. Delamater in open convention, General Hastings ac cepted tho verdict liko a loyal and gen- erons mr.n; choerfully wont out upon the political battle-Hold to do a bravo leader's honest duty in support of his party's standard-bearer, nnd waited for the psople to tnko snch action ns they should deem ri,j;ht. Although Mr. Delimiter was defeated, it was noithor through his treachery, jeilotiiy or con niving. The record of General Hast ings ns a political leader is as clean and truo ns is hie achievement ns a military chieftain. It is in recognition of this that he has been chosen by acclama tion; valor, patience mid mngunnimity have simply won their due reward. .So much for tho past. L t ns turn to nearer eras. It is appropriate first to note tho entire absence of friction between leadership and following us a conscience of this year's nomination. Standing upon the border of a perhaps unprecedented avalanche in behalf of rcinvigorated Republicanism, at a time when tho seeming certainty of party success would justify great engorness for the various places on tho party ticket, theru is presented tho uniqne apeotaole of a great party in this grenl statu proffering its choicest honor with out opposition to a single man a man who has not fought for that tribute, who has not plotted nor schemed nor intrigued for it, who has not asked the consent of any leader to bo a candidate and who has not, in exchango for influ ence or votes, mado either gifts of money or promises of patronage. And yet it is difficult to sny which are the better satislied with his success, the pooplo who have insited upon it or the pnrty captains who havo wisely con curred iu tho general wish and thereby strengthened thoir own bold upon the fealty of tho Republican masses. Such a spectacle, it seems to ns, indicates a return to tho glorious foundation prin ciples of the Republican party; clears tho atmosphere of its obnoxious vapors and calls to every true believer to gird himself for a memorable fight. A second lesson to bo derived from this result is Been in the enthusiasm which honost harmony nnd cloan mothods will invariably inspire. There is no broad desire among tho great masses of Republican voters in Penn sylvania to fail in propor loyalty to tho necessary leadership of the party. Without organization that pnrty would bo ns rope of sand. Organization, to he effective, must be at times rigid and tonse. It cannot exist without discip line and it cannot be successful with out a reasonable attontion to what, for lack of a better term, may be called the mathematics of the political game. In these details it is necessary and fnir that the executive skill which makes leadership successful should be per mitted to have its way. An nutocracy of the masses would bo not less galling than one of the so-called "bosses." The nomination of Generol Hastings yesterday, in response to the over whelming wishes of the Republican masses, yet with the sincere and cordial acquiescence of tho leaders, is a prac tical object lesson that explain! how it is poisiblo for masses and ''bosses" to got together on safe common ground. Finally, wo have presented In this candidacy the happy blond of individ ual merits with tho inspiring force which we call personal magnetism. It is fitting that tho greatest popular up rising in the history of latter-day Re publicans ahonld be bonded in this state by a standard bearer who in per son, recerd and manne recalls the happiest traditions of the grand old party. Ideal in etaturo, commanding in prosenoe, eloqneit in oration, virile in the forcoa of his experienced mind, with a knowledge of mon gleaned in camp ns well as in convention, and with a record for executive capacity well illustrated in bis noble aohieve monts on the flood-swept fields of de vastated Conomangh, General Hast ings makes a strong appeal to every side and phase and element of his party's following, and will receive such nn indorsement at the polls as the peo plo know how to give to tho candidate who trnly represents them. The Gurry society has started a crusade against the popular confection known ns brandy drops. Tbe Gerryites claim that one pound of the cbocolate brandy drops contains 100 grains of al cohol, and that the same quantity of gum drops contains nearly or quite 210 grains. Also that a mau who wai not used to carrying the burdon so many men carry, commonly known aa a "jag," would find thirteen of these brandy soak.-d or fillod drops a grout and glorious load. The theory that a taste for alcoholic stimulants may be acquired from indulgence in drops SE-cms plausible when given with statements above. Statistics da not show a very large army of brandy drop drunkards throughout the coun try.yet as I root of intemperance evil it is probably wise that the brand drop should be exterminated or regulated to the licensed localities where tangle foot is sold in undisguised form. With harmony true of Republican ism throughout the state, there will be no lack of it In loyal Lackawanna. John Y.McKane's last possiblo appeal has j nst been decided. As his case is out of reach of tho Pennsylvania board of pardons, it begins to look us though John would hnvo to servo out his sen tence. Tine i'UEE tuadh "bail" will not save Pennsylvania Domocracy iu Novem ber, 1804 Tun financial, problem eonuected with the proposed building of a rail road from Wllllamiport to Bingham ton has boen solved by an Individual mimed Pickett, who resi lei at Mon trose. Mr. Pickett, who has hitherto boen known to famo as the inventor of a gas pipe hand sled, comes forward with tbo suggestion that the money necessary to build the road be raised by uu advance sale of mileage books. He intimates that this schome wonld be muoh better than distribution of stock from which tho people might never get returns. The mileago books, nu-lilc-o stock, would be exempt from troub lesome assessments, and in case of fi nancial stringency might bi util lied as enrroncy in rural districts. Upon rt Miction this plan sooms worthy of the consideration of the pro jectors of the enterprise. If the road is built upon cash raisod in tho man ner above suggested, the investors nloug tho line will be enabled to take a good many rides behind th iron bone during the next few years. Tbo man ner In which tho road will derive rev enue for running expenses during the years requirod to redeem tho advance salo of tickets has not been explained, but there is no question that tho re volving machinery in Mr. Tickett's bead will turn out an idoa at the proper time. WaLTSB Lyon has made m any friends by his moderation and modesty. There is such a thing as boasting too much and too sooo. -a. Wii.kf.s Bakrb citizens are again in terror. They fear that Sam Boyd will write a poem on the flood. The ticket is ns strong geographical ly ns it is intrinsically. It sizes up to all the requirements of n banner Re publican year.
