The Democratic business men and
property owners of the Seventh ward
are recommended not to nominate M.
r. Oilrny, whom some of their party
bosss are preparing to urge for com
miin council. We believe that the ward
could find a better man than Gllroy to
represent It In councils.
Pattison's Second Term.
Among the results achieved during
the second administration of Oovernor
I'attison was a re-nrtranlzatlon of the
methods of transacting public business
in the auditor general's and ntate treas
urer's departments, whereby in one
year the collection of state revenues
rose from $S.623.919.10 to $13,007,101.74;
the reduction of the permanent net
bonded obligations of the common
wealth from $1.2,3-l!),920.;s on Jan. 1,
S!H, to $2,066,352.75 on Jan. 1, 18S5, tlmre
lieing today $4,775,0iiS.53 in the pinking
fund; the total disbursement, by Im
proved methods, of $21,000,000 for the
pupport and maintenance of the public
schools; the securing from the general
government of the re-payment of $1,
700,000 direct tax, which was, at Gover
nor Pattison's suggestion, applied to
the state debt; the enactment of a gen
erally satisfactory system of ballot re
form; the organization of the depart
ments presided over by the superin
tendent of banking and factory in
spector; and a generally progressive
discharge of the duties of the various
state bureaus, boards and commissions,
tmrlng this period Governor Pattlson
vetoed altogether 168 bills, of which but
one, of minor Importance, Was passed
over hi3 disapproval. Ills liberal course
toward the National guard will be
gratefully remembered, while among
Jils most conspicuous mistakes was the
vetoing of the compulsory education
bill.
It will, we think, be the general opin
ion of fair-minded Judges that Oover
nor Pattlson'a second term has not ful
filled the expectations aroused by his
first tenure of the office of governor.
It has been very far from a failure, In
any except the political sense of the
word. The public business of the com
monwealth has prospered under his su
pervision; there have been no grave
ecandals in any department of the
state service, except one for which
Governor Pattlson was In no sense re
sponsible and which he did much to un
ravel and to cleanse; the tenor of af
fairs has been peaceful and progres
sive. For these very reasons because
conservatism is always tame, always
commonplace we suspect that Gover
nor Pattison's second term will bo re
garded as falling short of expectations.
Ills first term was that of a man new
to the office and earnest with untiled
zeal in behalf of sweeping public re
forms. Whatever else he did, he in
that term made a distinct and plc
turer.i'ue Impression upon the public
m!nd. When his term expired the peo
ple remembered, not his real achieve
ments, which were small, but his glow
ing promises and fine rhetoric, of
which he never experienced a short
age. It wa3 this recollection, decep
tive as It afterward proved, which re
elected him governor four years ago.
"We do not hold It to Governor Patti
son's discredit that, under the heavy
load of weighty responsibilities, he
Bobered down from the exuberance of
youth into a very ordinary executive.
We merely slate the fact as an In
teresting part of contemporary history.
If Senator Quay has any more of his
'few remarks" to release, we respect
fully suggest that he wait until during
the Fifty-fourth congress. The public
wants this congress to hasten Its work
and die.
Time to Get to Work.
Inasmuch as elections for common
councllmen occur in the odd wards
Feb. 19, it will be necessary to make
nominations a sufficient time prior to
Jan. 22 to render possible the filing
of properly-propared certificates of
nomination, which must be In the
hands of the county commissioners
twenty-eight days before election. The
various ward caucuses ought to be held
not later than Jan. 19, or less than
three weeks hence.
It is time, therefore, for citizens who
ivlsh to see a proper representation in
the lower branch of councils to bestir
themselves. In a number of wards the
floaters and heelers of both parties are
already busy. If the better cluss of
residents in those wards the men who
own the property, pay the taxes and do
the business of their several wards
expect to cope with the political non
descripts who are already setting up
candidates of their own Ilk for what
there Is In it, these substantial citizens
would do well to move promptly. Merely-hoping
and waiting for some one
else to tak the Initial step will not ac
complish the desired result.
The Tribune has gone into this battle
with a full foreknowledge of Its many
difficulties, of which the chief one Is the
inexplicable sluggishness, the almost
Idiotic patience, of the publlo which,
under the present system of councll
manlc misrepresentation, Is not only
being misrepresented, but also in many
Instances Is actually being cheated.
Nevertheless, we propose to stay In the
fight until a substantial victory has
been achieved In behalf of clean local
government administered by reputable
and representative business men.
Scrantonians generally will share the
compliment paid to Hon. II. M. Ed
wards, law judge of Lackawanna
county, In his selection as presiding
olllcial at the big Utiea, N. Y., eistedd
fod which begins this evening. The
tribute was only natural, considering
Judge Edwards' International reputa
tion as a conductor of elsteddfoduu and
also as an adjudicator in literary con
tests; but thut our fellow-citizen should
be called to this historic duty Is never
theless a pleasing new reminder of his
prominence and his worth, both of
which reflect credit upon this city and
this county.
The Lexow Committee's Work.
The retirement of Koeorder-elect Goff
from active connection with the Lexow
committee Inquiry makes opportune a
few remarks concerning the committee,
Us counsel and the expected conse
quences of Its revelations. Much Is
said in critics of the latitude permitted
by the committee to Mr. Golf In cross
examination. We regard this as neces
sary. It Is a case of the end Justifying
the method. Itogues cannot be han
dled with the scrupulous nicety that
prevails In the decorous higher courts.
The whole purport of the inquiry was
to reach the results that have been
achieved, no matter by what route.
To have crippled Goff's freedom In
cross-examination would have been to
cripple the entire reform movement
which has recei.ed Its Impetus and
sustenance from the findings of the
Lexow committee.
As to John W. Goff Individually, now
that he Is to step upon the bench va
cated by Recorder Smyth, It Is fair to
phrase the tribute that is In all men's
months. A Democrat, connected ob
scurely with the district attorney's
office In New York city an olllce Itself
under suspicion of complicity in the
dominant conspiracy of municipal mis
ruleMr. Goff came to the chief place
In the Lexow inquiry an untried and an
unknown man. It is th'i simple truth
to say that his selection for so difficult
a task was originally regarded with
anxiety. The subsequent vindication of
the wisdom of that choice Is now fami
liar history. Great results are obtained
oniy by the co-opVration of great men.
Yet It is no more than just to John W.
Goff to sny that In himself, while act
ing as counsel for the people before the
Lexow committee, he combined the re
sources, the energy and the unswerving
directness of a host of trained fighters.
In the eye of the future, his fame will
be largely reflected.
Lastly, as to the consequences. The
determination of them rests with the
people of New York. The temporary
defeat of one partisan municipal ticket
was the very least of the details of the
task unfolded by Dr. Parkhurst and the
Lexow committee. It was so Infinitely
unimportant. In contrast with the Im
mense Importance of the duties that
remain as yet untouched, that we are
amused as well as chagrined, to see
trading politicians and careless citi
zens, regarding the election of, Strong
mayor as the end of the battle. The
skin of the surface of Gotham's mis
government has scarcely been abraded
as yet. The reorganization of the po
lice force; the divorcement of the saloon
and the low resort from collusion with
public officials; the establishment of a
clean and Btable civil service and the
placing of every municipal departmxit
upon a solid and honest business tasls
are some and only a few of (be tasks
that beckon. We trust that the fore
most city In the new world will not
fall In his duty. A failure after ex
pectations had reached their present
pitch would retard the cause of good
government In every city In the land.
r
Anthony Conrntock claims, and truly,
that during the last ten years he has
convicted more "green goods" men
than all the police of New York, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania combined.
This, however, is not the point under
discussion. We believe Mr. Comstock
Innocent of the charge of bribery pre
ferred against hlin by two witnesses
before the Lexow committee. But t
the same time we should like to see
him prove it. Getting angry at Lawyer
Qoff will not constitute a vindication.
Establish a Precedent.
We are glad ito learn, from the ntato
department, that no American citizens
were Injured In the Armenian mas
sacres. The escape of our missionaries
from death is a subject for devout
thanksgiving. It Is nn escape in no
wise aided, however, by the exemplary
influences of an American foreign
policy wphlch would be calculated to
render' exceedingly dangerous to any
foreign power the ma1treatment( with
in Its jurisdiction, of a citizen of the
United States.
,Thn plea ithat the United States can
not Insist upon the appointment of a
representative upon the Armenian com
mission of inquiry unless there Is proof
that American citizens have been in
jured In Armenia is In accordance with
international law, as that law is cus
tomarily construed between civilized
nations. It, however, overlooks the Im
portant fact that Turkey is not a clvll
laed, Independent power, but a bar
barian ward, existing in its present
form by courtesy alone. The porte as
sumes thait 4t lias the rights of en In
dependent power; but there Is nothing
In the portte's conduct to give this
claim moral validity. It has persist
ently, and nysfematloally Ignored the
principles of toleration and upright
deallnig. . Its sway has been despotic
ami arbitrary. Its rule' Is a rule of
mingled ferocity and treachery. By
every dictate f Justice It stands con
demned as a continual menace ti3 peace
and clvillzaiUon.
If .there is no precedent to authorize
American Intervention in this instance,
the occasion would seem to be a good
one for the establishment of one.,
We trust that at the sesskm of the
legislature which begins tomorrow
some member will Introduce a carefully-drawn
bill creating the office of
county controller in counties having
150,000 population or more. The recent
collapse of the K'llne law through minor
structural defects cannot be regarded
as other than' a public misfortune.
The present city administration Is en
titled to the credit of having, during
the recent storm, promptly and Impar
tially enforced the ordinance against
snow-obstructed .sidewalks. This en
forcement was simultaneous in all
parts of the city; and it was also
thorough. The Innovation was some
what startling; but it wus agreeable.

Mr. Cleveland will simply add one to
his many blunders If he shall call an
extra session of the Fifty-fourth con
gress to consider financial legislation.
The country does not need legislation
so urgently that It cannot bide the
accustomed day.
The young man down In New Jersey
who shot himself the other day because
he was too smart to enjoy life, seems
to have been In direct competition with
the old theory that "a little knowledge
is a dangerous thing."
Senator Lodge favors the enforce
ment of the income tax because he
thinks that Is the quickest plan to' get
the itax repealed. There Is logic In this
argument.
The effort of Madeline Pollard to live
down the penalty of her shame should
be respected by decent newspapers.
Nothing is gained by parading her do
ings in print.
The next common councilman from
the Nineteenth ward should be a clean,
upright and trustworthy business man.
No mere ilguivhoad will do.
POLITICAL POINTS.
Representative Jeffrey Is presenting the
claims of li. 1''. Davis, ot Luzerne, for
sergeant-at-arnis' of tho house. Ueorge
llopps, sergcant-at-arms' of the last
house. Is a candidate for re-election.
Representative inter, of Philadelphia,
appears to have the inside track for chair
man of the Judiciary committee. The
standing committees of the two houses
will not be announced before week utter
next.
Philadelphia Times: "The country mem
ber unacquainted with Harrlsburg, Its
card parties and suppers, will know more
two months hence why his bill Is too far
back on the calendar to be reached or
why It has been held up In committee."
It Is understood that General Hastings
has decided to appoint as superintendent
nf public printing Thomas Robinson, ex
editor of the Hutler Eagle, who is a per
sonal friend of Senator Quay. This is
said to be a compromise resulting from
the senator's recommendation of Xlr. Rob
inson for deputy secretary of the com
monwealth. Joseph H. Choate will ba the chief ora
tor of the New York Republican club on
Feb. 12, the anniversary of the death of
Abraham Lincoln. He will respond to the
toast, "Abraham Lincoln." Those who
know say that the great lawyer Is prepar
ing an oration which will add greatly to
his fame as a speaker. For the past
month he has been busy getting his
speech ready.
A seventh legislative district for Lu
zerne county will be carved out in the
next legislative reapportionment bill. It
will be remembered thut at the last ses
sion Representative Daniel J. Reese pro
posed such a district, to he made up of
Ashley, Nantlcoke, Sugar Notch and
C'onyngham boroughs, and Hanover, Hol
lenbaek, Newport and Hlocum townships.
It Is probable that this proposition will
this tlmo prevail.
Doubt Is expressed that Speaker-to-be
Walton, of the house of representatives,
cun satisfactorily arrange his standing
committee appointments until after con
ference with many of IiIb fellow mem
bers following the organization of the leg
islature. Therefore, It is predicted that,
after a day, or perhaps two, the leg
islators will return home, and that. In or
der to let the Philadelphia Republican
members attend the primary elections and
conventions of their party on Jan, 8 and
9, the adjournment will be until the even
ing of the !Uh, Wednesday. Senator Quay
Is said to have advised that the session of
tho legislator be limited to three months.
Apropos of the Huzleton county project,
which will soon come up ngaln, It Is In
tcreritlns to recollect. In the language of
the Wllkes-Rarre Record at the time of
tho same agitation two years ago, that
"Luzerne will still bo a large county af
ter 'Hazle' Is formed out of a part of It.
There are now iro.OeO people In tho Wy
oming valley, anil by the number will
bo Increased to 200,000. This is still a little
empire, strong and big enough to appeal
to the pride of Its citizens. The cost of
running It would bo considerably less
than at present, for It would be more
compact and homogeneous. Financially
speaking, therefore, it would be wife to
lot the Fourth district go and permit joy
to go with It. Asaln, it would only ba a
fair and Just act to the people of that sec
tion. They nro located a great dlstunuo
from the county seat and It Is both a
heavy expense and a terrible Inconven
ience for them to come here to transact
their legal business." Theso considera
tions are fully us strong now us they
were two veurs ago.
Beginning with 1S73 there have been
eleven organizations of the legislature
and eight out of tho eleven times tho
speaker of tho house of representatives
has been tnlien either from Philadelphia
or Allegheny, each county having thus
been honored four times. In three in
stances only In thut tlmo has a choice
been made from tho Interior, the first in
1877, whin K. Reed Myer, of liradford,
was chosen; the second when HenJamin L.
Hewitt, of ltlftlr, was named In 1SS1, anil
tho third ten years later when Culeb C.
Thompson, of Wurren, was chosen. Twice
In twenty years the Democrats have con
trolled tho house. In tho Hist Instunce
they look the speaker from Allegheny,
and- In the second from Philadelphia.
The speakers of the housn since 1S73 were
William Elliott, 11. II. McCormlck, S. F.
Patterson, K. Reed Myer, Henry Martin
Long, Benjamin L. Hewitt, John E.
Faunce, James L. Graham, Henry K.
Hoycr and Caleb C. Thompson. Elliott
was also speaker In 1872. He, ex-Speaker
Thompson, and ex-spoaker Hoyer are the
only speakers In the last twenty years
who succeeded themselves. Harry Wal
ton's election tomorrow will undoubtedly
bo tnken by Alleghany us a license to
name Mr, Wul ton's successor.
What Platforms Arc Tor.
From tho Courier-Journal.
There are those who think that party
platforms were made to be Ignored, but no
party ever yet successfully Ignored its
platform. (Turn over the pages of . your
political history and find nn instance
where one ever did, and, when found, get
the best hat In town and send tho bill to
this office!) A party pledge Is a prom
issory noto and, as a promissory note, It
should be met and redeemed upon ma
turity. Tho price of political credit Is the
price of personal credit.
Children, Too, llnvo Klghts.
From tho Altoona Tribune.
tsually those who opposo compulsory
education do a groat deal Of talking about
the "rights" of purents. They never seem
to think that children have "rights" also.
Tho fact of the matter Is thut the pa
rents' obligations out-weigh his rights,
lie is under obligations to give tho child
an equal chance with its fellows, and one
of hU most Imperative duties is to pro
vide It with an education or permit the
state to do so. There is no tyranny In
compulsory education; there Is In compul
sory Ignorance. That the time has fully
come when it is the duty of the state to
see that careless and selfish parents do
do not send their children out into the
great world maimed and blind, ought to
be clear to every student of statistics.
Even here In Pennsylvania, one of the
first states to bo settled, and where
schools of all sorts abound, there are
thousands of children growing up In blank
iKtiorunce because their purents will not
send them to school. These children are
going to be a source of expense and
trouble in tho future.
Benevolence, Not Tyranny.
From the Altoona Tribune.
Compulsory education roes not mean,
as so many seem to Imagine, the tyranny
of the state shattering parental author
ity, but tho benevolence of the state ex
ercised on behulf of defenseless child
hood. A Contrust.
From tho Post-Express.
Croker is rich and out of politics. Cock
ran is poor and nearly out of congress.
One will race horses like a gambler and
the other will practice law like a gentle
man. Punishment Near Its End.
From the Post-Express.
The sen tenuis of many congressmen
have nearly expired.
TO THE NEW YEAR.
Was It forth from the flukes of drifting
snow,
As they ceaselessly hurry them to and fro,
Thou earnest today, O white New Yeur?
Or out from the golden gates of Dawn
When un angel opened them wide, at

Didst thou come this way, O bright New
Yeur?
Was It forth from the realms of an un

Sent hither by touch of an unseen hand.
Thou earnest today, O blest New Year?
Or out from the shades of the saddened
past,
Whero the Old Year cares are hid at last,
Hast thou come this way, O best New
Year?
Was It down from the heaven that
spreads above
And forth from the land of Eternal Love
Thou earnest toduy, O benign New Year7
Is it into tills world so stained by sin,
With thy spotlesB robe thou hast entered
In,
And come to stay, O divine New Year?
