When a governorship comes to Scran
ton It will probably not come on the
platform of trying to pull everybody
'lse down. In fact, It will ned quite a
different "pull."
The Governor's Message.
The last message of Governor Paul
son, elsewhere summarized at consider
able length. Is a dignified and compre
hensive document, replete with good
suggestions. It covers very thoroughly
the field occupied by the various state
departments, and Is rich In suggestion
as well as In recapitulation. Ve re
gard It as, In the main, a much abler
message than that which preceded it
during the second Pattlson administra
tion. It points out legislative needs
with more care and la lesa given over
to political argument.
That portion of the message relating
to the present election laws will be read
with particular Interest. Notable In It
Is the following paragraph:
Unfortunately, I believe, for the Jiost
Interests of the public, the constitutional
amendment proposed a few years nuo for
the repeal of the constitutional provision
requiring payment of a poll tux once in
two years was defeated. Since then the
enormous evil of political rommlttecs pay
the taxes and holding the tax receipts
of voters has been on tho constant In
crease. It has attained most alarming
proportions, especially In the great cities,
where the number of voters whose poli
tical duties are thus attended to by party
organizations now runs up to hundreds
of thousands. Vast sums of money, In
Philadelphia nlono In a slnple campaign
amounting to $110,000, are raised by tho
political parties. The very raisin? of this
fund leads to public demoralization und
keeps up the vicious system of money In
our politics. It places parties under obli
gations to thopo who furnish It and taxes
public servants to raise It. I earnestly
recommend your honorable bodies im
mediately to formulate and pass a consti
tutional amendment abolishing the tax on
the franchise; indeed, I am convinced
that the proposition made In another Btnie
pome years niro, to impose a tax upon
those who neglect one of the first duties
of citizenship, viz., to vote at all elec
tions, would he amore reasonniile and
effective regulation of the elective fran
chise than to Impose what, at most, is an
Irritating tax upon the right to perform
one's duties.
The governor's complaint at the fnr
clcal character of most election con
tests as conducted under tho act of
3874 is re-echoed by the public. The
instances are unfortunately far too nu
merous where It has, ns he charges,
"been tho rule to make those trials
mere matters of form, to suppress nnd
prevent actual judicial Investigation.
The election committee travels about,
going through the form of examining
witnesses, without much regard to
legal principles or Judicial forms. Ques
lions of law and fact are decided main
ly on partisan or personal grounds, and
the so-called 'Investigation' 13 not only
a Judicial furcc, but a most costly nnd
unsatisfactory proceeding." This n
plies not only to legislative contests
l)ut to county contests as well. The
former can be remedied by throwing
them wholly Into the courts. The hit
ter seem to be Incurable.
. There Is strength In the governor's
general argument against violence on
the part of dissatisfied labor, but weak
ness In his suggestion that "there
might be no difficulty In devising a
board of arbitration In which both
aides would have confidence." There Is
great dlfllculty In this direction, and It
Is not becoming less. Another weak
point Is shown his inconclusive treat
ment of the company store problem, a
subject which, like all other questions,
has two sides. The last feature of
special Interest which we shall notice
is the portion relating to street pas
penger railways to the duty of pre
tectlng the streets and highways from
the aggressions of trolley companies
without at the same time sacrificing
the public's honest Interests. On this
, point the governor says:
If the claims which are made for elec
tricity ss a cheup, practicable und effoc
tive motive power are founded on well-es
tablished scientific buBls there can be no
doubt that rouds operated by this agency
can do much for the development of our
commonwealth, and that In the near fu
ture they must be Invested with the right
of eminent domain, the authority to carry
freight, malls, and perform all the func
tions heretofore exercised by steam rail
ways. But all such municipalities and the
highways of the rural regions are not to
be given away without compensating ad'
vantages to the public, and franchises
which, in the very nature of the case,
must be monopolies, should not be grant'
ed except the provision be coupled with
the concession thnt as the grant becomes
more valuable the compensation imld to
the grantor shall steadily increase. With
regard to these and to all corporate, fran
chines It needs to be kept constantly In
view that their competition, and not their
consolidation and combination, Is for pub
lic advantage. It has become tho fashion
for corporations, under the pica of a
healthful competition, to secure special
franchises from municipalities on their
Streets and, these once secured, Imme
diately to effect consolidation with others
all the parties to such combinations
pooling their Issues and violating tho
very essence of the conditions upon which
they obtained their grants. To prevent
these I am of the opinion tnat tne iem
lature should prescribe regulations simi
lar to those of the fourth section of arttclo
xvli of the constitution, relating to parali
el and competing lines of railroaas or
canals. Competing lines of passenger
railways, gas, water or electrical compan
ies should not be allowed to effect con
solidations and combinations hostile to
the Interests of tho commonwealth or of
tho citizens of municipalities which have
rrnnted them richts for the express pur
pose of obtaining the benefits of competi
tion.
We cannot hope, in this running sum
mary, to do the message Justice. It
will well repay perusal from beginning
to end.
Representative O'Malley shares with
Mr. Farr and Lieutenant-Governor
Watreu the credit of having achieved a
notable victory for Lackawanna coun
ty at Harrisburg yesterday. For the
baby" of the house, Mr. O'Malley 13
doing quite well.
Lackawanna at Harrisburg.
The selection of James E. Watkins, of
Taylor, as reading clerk of the house
was a somwhat unexpected climax to
the spirited contest waged for this posi
tion before Monday evening's Republi
can caucus.' Mr. "Watkli-.s will, how
ever, be none the less efficient for hav
ing been a political "dark horse." Per
sonally genial and good humored to a
degree, he will not only make friend
rapidly at Harrisburg, but he will ex
hibit qualities which will keep those
friendships. That he .will prove thor
oughly adequate to all the duties of the
reading clerkBhlp, none of his home
friends think of doubting.
Tho defeat of ex-Journal Clerk Fleltz
s ascribed in some quarters to the ac
tive 'hostility of prominent Republicans
who resented his course In the Robln-
stm-Lyon fight for the lieutenant gov
ernorship. This may have had Its In
fluence, but It was no doubt aided by
the fact that a considerable number of
Mr. Fleltz's ipersonal friends In Lacka
wanna county objected to the violent
manner in which his candidacy was to
all appearances seized upon by one of
its leading promoters as a personal
perquisite. In his own name, Mr.
Fleltz, with his large experience in
house procedure and his wide acquaint
ance with state politicians, would per
haps have been stronger than he proved
to be when regarded by many as merely
an Incidental character in a larger and
more daring contest for state recogni
tion. We congratulate Mr. Watklns upon
his success, and regret that Mr. Fleltz
could not have been permitted to fight
his own fight on Its own merits.
AVe were already aware that the
Scranton Truth was opposed to compul
sory education. AVhat we asked of It,
yesterday, was to explain why the over
crowded condition of certain Philadel
phia schools Is un argument against
compulsory education. Must thousands
of children throughout the state grow
up In Ignorance because the sectional
school board system, us It is known
in Philadelphia, is hot a success?
- - .
That Soda Water Case, Again.
Exception Is taken by the prosecution
In the perjury case against C. A. Wiley
to a summary of the evidence printed
edltorlully In The Tribune of lust Sat
urday. The attorney for the prosecu
tion, J. Elliott Ross, contradicts thnt
the case against Mr. AVilcy rested, ns
we then claimed, on a technicality. Ho
contends that a transcript of the court
records will establish that Mr. AVHey,
on the witness stand; testified that four
persons, who say they paid nothing for
soda water obtained one Sunday at the
drug store of D. S. Ryan, did puy the
money therefor and later received
change for It la other words, one
mun's word, as against the word of
four. Mr. Ross disclaims a desire on
the part of his client, Mr. Ryan, to
persecute Mr. Wiley, but, If we under
stand him correctly, wishes merely to
impress upon the recent defendant the
wlsdpm of being accurate when testi
fying under oath against a fellow cit
izen, and causing him to be fined.
It Is fair to give Mr. Ryan the benefit
of this explanation. The ease orig
inated, ns most of our readers remom
ber, during last year's Sunday observ
ance crusade, and Is one of a number
of unpleasantnesses which linger In
that movement's wake. The Jury hnv
Ing disagreed, It la impossible as yet
to suy, officially, which side is tech
nlcally correct, although until con
vlcted, the defendunt in common fair
ness is to be regarded as Innocent,
Enough Is known, however, to Justify
the conclusion that in any future move
ments of a similar character, should
such be under contemplation, it would
be wise to delegate the collection of
evidence to regularly authorized of
flclals. AVe do not believe that In this
case Mr. AVHey was actuated by Belflsh
or vindictive motives. Neither do we
believe that, supposing a Jury should
find him mistaken In some of the do
tails of his testimony, he would there
fore deserve to be sentenced to the
penitentiary, alongside hardened crlm
Inals. Such a sentence would, it seems
to us, be repugnant to every human
sympathy.
Thomas C. Piatt should be less Jeal
ous. Parkhurst threshed Tammany, it
la true, which Is something that Piatt
never tried to do; but that Is no reason
wlhy . Parkhurst ,' sliould be abused.
AVhen Thomas C. Piatt rises up Into
Dr. Parkhurst's class, It will be time
for him to talk. Just now, It Is In bad
taste.
As to Party Criticism.
The Philadelphia Record is moved to
anger .by what llt calls tho "reckless
and Indiscriminate abuse" by leading
newspapers of the Cleveland admlnls
tratlon "merely because it la Democra
tic." It is particularly sensitive with
reference to the current, criticism of
Secretary Gresham; but It will excuse
us if we suspect that Its sensitiveness
Is greatly Intensified by the extraordin
ary vulnerability of the present secre
tary of state to public criticism. AVe
do not remember that the Record was
slmllarHy sensitive when the Democra
tic partisan press was doing Its level
best to cast ridicule on "Secretary
Blaine. Yet, in point of abuse,
dresham has been treated with marked
leniency by the Republican press, if we
compare .their course with the treat-
ment accorded by Democrats to Mr.
Bluine.
So -far ns President Cleveland's do
mestic administration Is concerned,
sharp criticism of It has been Invited
by the president's uniform assumption
of superior morality and wisdom. He
has not been content, In nny public
speech, published letter or state paper,
to occupy a place on a fair level with
the majority of his fellow-citizens. He
has chosen to set himself high above
them, upon, a pedestal of platitudinous
consecration" to public duty; and has
well-nigh Impoverished tho vocabulary
of cant and false pretence In his effort
to appear a very superior being. The
American people can be caught by this
kind of humbug once or twice; but
when it presents to their inspection
such a materialization of results as Is
exhibited by the Cleveland administra
tion during 'the period from March 4,
1S93, to Dec. 31, 1894, they need offer no
-apology for tiring of the bluft; and un
corking some of the vials of their wrath
upon the man who has, either uncon
sciously or by design, so grossly de
ed! ved them.
AVe Join with the Record In deploring
that Insular form of politics which
marks out the foreign policy of the
United States as a proper theme of
partisan bickering and contention. AVe
charge to this childish habit much of
the contempt which American diplom
acy Inspires among other nations. AVe
believe that the time has arrived In
the development of the United States
when It must play a man's part In the
game of International state craft; when
It must bring to the assertion of Its
foreign rights the mural support not
of a divided but of a united country;
When there shall be, at the head of the
staito department at AVashlngton, not a
Domocrat nor a Republican but an
American citizen, ready to guarantee
to every fellow citizen in any foreign
land, ample protection within the law.
AVe stand ready to work Incessantly
toward such a condition of American
politics. But we must decline to regard
the Inarticulate and gelatinous policy
of the present secretary of state as
representing inure than a sharp con
trast to what an American foreign
policy should be.
According to last accounts the bodies
of the victims of the Delevan House
fire at Albany still repose in the ruins.
The police claim that It Is not their
business to remove them, and the late
hotel keepers do not feel able to bear
the expenses of burial, and no one else
seems to feel the slightest concern over
the disposal of the remnlns one way or
another. From u hasty glance of tin
situation Albany doer, not appear to be
a very favorable site for a poor person's
death.
Additional advices from Armenia In
dicate that the horrors of the situation
have only been hinted at, and the at
titude of the Turkish government Is
unythlng but favorable to an Improve
ment of the existing' conditions. Under
circumstances It seems about time for
the civilized nations of the globe to
unite in a little missionary work in
which arguments In the interest of re-
for are backed by Catling guns and
bayonets.
Our esteemed Philadelphia contem
porary, the Press, quotes the Scranton
Republican as authority for the asser
tion that Lackawanna county does not
want another Judge. AVe suspect thut
the Press has in this instance got hold
if a doubtful authority.

quiring the payment of a poll tax once

JUSTICE TO OUR JUDGES.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Tho Scranton Tribune Is ono of the
very few papers of tho Interior unheal
tutlngly speaking out In favor of the puss-
age of a Judge's retirement act by the leg
islature at Its coining session, The dccla
ration of our Bermitou contemporary on
the. subject Is both slgnltlcant und effec
tive, and all the more so because on the
bench In the district where It is printed
thero is no Judge who would come under
the provisions of Biuh an act for many
yeurs yet, und between a JudRe at CO years
of wse, or even tw, ana retirement at
70, there are several contingencies. It
seems very certain that a retirement bill
will be presented nt the coming session,
and It will bo received with a great differ-
erence of opinion. The opposition to it
from the Interior of tho state, us already
Indicated, will bo very strong, not so
much on account of the principle In
volved as because of the expense which
;t is presumed will follow. This would not
likely cost so much, however, as to con
tinue on the bencii men wno are no
longer really fit for duty, thereby com
pelling an tncreaso of Judges In order to
get the work done.

An Inevitable Compensation.
From the Philadelphia Record.
The completion of the great Maxwell
coal breuker seems destined to Inaugur
ate a decided revolution In the mining in
dustry of tho anthracite region. This Im
mense structure, which contains 2,000,000
feet of lumber and cost $160,000, possesses
the largest screening surface of any
breaker in the world, and by means of its
chutes and crushers will undoubtedly ef
fect an almost complete saving of the
smaller sizes of coal. The mine operators
will not only be thus enriched, but the
cheapened price of coal production per ton
will be a blessing to the consumers. One
feature of this new era to be regretted is
tho inevitable calamity which will over
take breaker boys, hundreds of whom will
eventually find themselves superseded by
these giant automatic competitors. His
tory has invariably demonstrated, how
ever, that such Innovations of machinery
create In redoubled prosperity new fields
for displaced labor.
Not a Representative Jury.
From tho Carbondale Herald.
It Is to be hoped that the Jury on duty
In Scranton lust week was not a represen
tative ono. They acquitted everything
that carne beforo them with two excep
tions. AVe suggest that the next
Jury be selected from the In
mates of the county Jail. They surely
could not manifest more sympathy with
the lawless element and might honestly
do better. Charity is a good thing, es
pecially on Christmas week, but some
times there can be too much of a good
thing. After reading the evidence in
these cases we wonder what amount of
evidence It would require to convince this
Jury of a man's guilt.
Will Have Public Support.
From the Wllkcs-Barre News-Dealer.
The police drag-net In Scranton scooped
in about forty estimable knights of the
green table of that town on Saturday
night who were engaged in watching
"ships that pass in the night." The fines
Imposed netted the city $CU0, while the pro
prietors of the respective, places are out a
couple of thousand apiece. Gambling has
openly flourished in Scranton for years
and if the mayor compels players to ob
serve a semblance of deconcy he will have
the support of all good citizens.
One of Dan Hurt's Jokes.
From the AVIlkes-Barre Leader.
Her lips quivered and her breath came
in labored gasps, but she did not speak.
"Do you not love me?" he anxiously de
manded, seizing her shrinking hand.
"I I don't know," she faltered. Gently
he insinuated his arm about her.
"Darling," ho murmured, "would you
like to have me ask your mamma first?"
"No, no, no!" she shrieked convulsively,
"she is a widow. I want you myself."
She clung to him until he promised to
say nothing to the old lady for the pres
ent. Romance and Health.
From the Atchison Globe.
It Is more romantic and better for the
