J. Illckey by thu voters of the Nineteenth iward would be a misfortune. Boschino to Hang. Joseph Boschino was yesterday ad judged by a jury of his peers as a fit subject for the attentions of a hanK man. He Is the second man in this county to have a verdict of murder In the first degree returned against him. On Nov. 11, 1S94, Boschino lay In wait for his neighbor, Frank Confortl, amid the laurel bushes on Bunker Hill, Dun more, and while the latter was on his way home In the evening to his wife and child two bullets I'rom a revolver in the hands of Boschino sent Con forms soul to the great beyond with out a moment for preparation. The cause that led to the murder was trivial in the extreme. Such was the story of the common wealth. The defense was an alibi, and a flat contradiction of the principal testimony given on the part of the prosecution. It was alleged that Sa.1 vatori and Imbriano, who testitled thai they saw Boschino kill Contort!, were the real murderers and that they were anxious to fasten the crime on the ac cused to save their own necks. The case was carefully and ably tried, and Judge Gunster's charge to the jury was a model of its kind. He was careful not to utter words that would be likely to sway the Jurors from their own opinions as to the merits of the case, and confined him self strictly to an Impartial review of the testimony and the law bearing thereon. To the jury then fell the task of Flfting the truth out of the contllctin; stories told to them under oath. They chose to believe the stories of the com monwealth's witnesses and a verdict of murder in the first degree had to follow as a matter of course. If Bos chino committed the murder there was no question but that he plunned it in a cool and deliberate maimer. The verdict, therefore, seems to be Just, and, in fact, the only one that could be returned under the circum stances. The people of Lackawanna county Will now have an opportunity of as certaining whether or nut capital pun ishment has a deterrent effect. With two men standing directly In the shadow of the gallows, the lawless ele ment of the county should be awed Into peaceableness If the arguments in favor of capital punishment are good. In this connection comes to mind the apparently unprovoked murder on staple street Saturday night. With the fate of ilezek and the Impending one of Boschino before him, the mur derer did not hesitate to perform his terrible work. There Is no question as to the fitness of State Chairman Oilkeson for the position of commissioner of banking, to which he has Just been appointed. Jle Is a thorough business man, a fact fully demonstrated while he served as second assistant comptroller of the currency under the Harrison adminis tration. During his conduct of the new department of banking In this state material improvement may be expected in the condition of our state banks, Tho Norwegian Plan. It Is proposed, la Massachusetts, to permit cities of 6,000 or more inhab itants to adopt, If they wish, the Nor wegian system of regulating the liquor traffic, In modified form. According to the plan suggested in Massachusetts, the company to whom a license shall be Issued by the state can receive only 6 per cent, profits on Its invested capi tal. One-half of the remaining profits is to go to maintaining public coffee houses, or public reading rooms, or both; one-fifth to the municipality in which the liquor store Is situated, one-tenth to the county, and the re mainder to the governor and council for the maintenance of state asylums, reform schools and prisons. In commenting upon this proposition, the Philadelphia Press makes the rather unexpected admission that "high license and local option have worked measurably well, but any prac ticable scheme that promises better will be welcomed by the public. The con vlotlon is steadily growing that a busi ness which causes so much crime and coats state and municipal governments so much to control should return a tara of Its profits to the'pub- hlbltlonlat would doubt 13 1 I T less ask the Press whether a business "causing so much crime" ought to be continued, at all, even with the state acting as a well-paid partner. And, really, upon at least theoretical grounds, we do not see. what our con temporary could say In reply. Announcement Is made by Editor Hudson of the Scranton Times that on Monday next that Journal will bo trans formed into a penny afternoon paper. This will equalize the local Journalistic account, by giving Scranton two after noon and two morning papers The Times, under its present management, hus not been a model paper,' by any means; but It has ut least been ag gressive. 'Whether It can make better headway in. the evening field than it has mado in the morning Held Is an open question. The chunces. In our judgment, are thut the Truth will be found a competitor worthy of its steel. The State, Too, Has Rights. The Scranton Truth Is now concerned lest the enactment of a compulsory education law In this state should neces sltaite the erection of new school build ings. Very likely it will. But we did not suppose that our esteemed evening contemporary would object to that. If new school rooms can be filled, let us have them, by all means. That would bo a cheap way out of the growing problem of Illiteracy and crime. We feel quite sure that the state will lo willing to increase its public school accommodations If It should be found necessary; and "we should exp.'ct u similar willingness from those who, In preference to using the public schools, maintain stcitariun or denominational schools. But even if this expectation should not be realized, ilhere is no rea son why, under the terms of the pro posed compulsory education art, parents whose children should,' by uny manner, be crowded out of private or denominational schools could not send them to the free publio schools. There la nothing whatever in the pending act calculated to interfere with the right of each parent to choose such schooling for the child as may be de sired by that parent. If any parent should prefer to have his offspring re ceive the training Imparted In a paro chial School, no obstacle Is placed In his way. Although the state goes to the trouble to provide schools free from denominational control, and open, on equal terms, .to Protestant, Catholic, Jew or infidel, and white, red or black, It does not assume to say that parents may not select other schools for their children's education. All 'that It does Buy is that if the publio schools be not good enough for the members of any religious denomination, they must pro vide what they regard as better schools at their own expense, which Is an emi nently fair and business-like proposi tion, applying to Protestunt sects as well as to Catholics and to individuals regardless of race or creed. It Is a mistake to suppose, however, that when the children of such citizens as are dissatisfied with the public schools ure placed under denomina tional school supervision, they cease to be objects of Interest to or of the concern of the sta.te. The state has the same right to expect them to be properly fitted fur good citizenship as it does to expect the children In Us own schools to be thus fitted. When it requires parents to send trnant children to school, that command does not apply to parents of one religious belief only, but equally 'to parents of any or no be lief; and It will just us certainly be come the duty of such denominations as require ithe training of the children of their members to be conducted In sep arate schools to provide udequate ac commodations as It will become the duty of the state Itself to provide such accommodations In the schools which it directly maintains. This Is only fair and Just; and we challenge the Truth to assent otherwise. Referring to the clever trick played by Editor Palm, of Meadville, on the antl-oleo convention in that city, the Pittsburg ('ommerciaJ-Ciuscette sug gests that the dairymen ought now, in common fuirnoss, to desist from their selfish fight. "Nothing," it adds, "could more forcibly and truthfully illustrate the prejudice, misrepresentation und Injustice which Hp at the bottom of the hostility to the sale and consumption of oleomargarine." This Is number one advice; but regard for number one will keep the dairymen from acting upon It. Let It Sit In Scranton, The bill of Representative Cotton, of Allegheny, to divide the state Into two Jmllckil districts, to be presided over by a circuit court of appeals, is In the nature of a substitute, for the bill, In troduced at an carlleT stage of the pres ent session, to organize seven appellate courts by drafting Into service the regular common pleas Judges. The court contemplated In the Cotton bill Is ito have no original jurisdiction but shall have appellate jurisdiction of all appeals from common pleas or orphans' courts now allowed to the supreme court, and an appeal frorn the order. Judgment or decree of ho circuit court shall be possible whenever the amount In controversy Is $2,000 or In excess, but said Jurisdiction shall be final and conclusive whenever the sum In con troversy Is leH than $2,000, exclusive of costs; provided, however, that any judge of the supremo court may re move any charge from the circuit courts after final judgment or decree to the supreme court. The court shnll have appellate jurisdiction in proceedings of any kind 4n tho courts of quarter ses sions, oyer and terminer and general jail delivery, and its jurisdiction shall be final, except In cases of felonious homicide. There woulit, seem to be some force In the contention of tho advocates of this subHtltute measure that entirely separate appellate courts having no re lation whatever to the county courts over which they are placed would be preferable to appellate courts made up of common court Judges shuflled around. There can be no questioning the need of relief for the supreme court, the only permissible difference of opin ion being as to methods of affording Buoh relief, The Cotton measure ap pears to us to present the stronger ad vantages.' But there will be plenty .of time Jn which to suggest amendments. One ohajjya needed in the original bill Is to have the proposed circuit courl of the First district sit ' port of the time in Scranton. This Is simply a matter of Justice to the large indus trial Interests of northeastern Pennsyl vania which would contribute the bulk of the litigation to be entered on such an appellate court's dotkets. One month ago Senator Camoron, ac cording to the Washington correspon dent of the Pittsburg Dispatch, de clared that ho had no intention of be ing a candidate for re-election to the United States senate. Today the stKme correspondent telegraphs that "tho senator la very busy laying tho ropes for hlB re-election in 1897, In event of the presidential lightning passing him by In I8!)G." Evidently somebody has been misinformed. Senator Penrose has Introduced an Interesting bill for the protection of motormen on trolley ears. It requires the operators of such cars to provide vestibules for the motorman's benefit, to shelter him from tho elements. This measure, if passed, would affect every street cur In uso in this city; but It would make a good law, and would pi ove a good companion to the national safety car-coupler law. Mr. Pullman, who was wanted as a witness at the Debs trial In Chicago, explains that he did not go to "New city in order to avoid an order of court, but because he hud made arrange ments to do so. Judge tirosscup hus confirmed Mr. Pullman's implied opin ion of tho limber condition of the Judi cial spine by exonerating the palace car prince from any blame for evading an order of court. The Trilby foot fad is the latest. The Trilby foot when properly attired must resemble a sugar-cured ham in Its yellow canvas case. The Trilby foot craze, In ullowlng a proper expan sion of the pedal extremities of fash ionable humanity, will no doubt prove ruinous to the business of chiropodists. The verdict of the Boschino Jury yes terday is expected to have a depressing effect upon walking arsenals In this vicinity. At last accounts Editor Mooney's map of Anthracite county had not gone to press. Elements of success muy again be de tected In the Jury system of Lackawan na county. THAT BKi CAXAL JOB. Public Ownership Is Best. Minneapolis Tribune: "The bill as passed is virtually a. measure to subsidize a private company to the extent of J"0, WO. Pinler It the United States guaran tees the bonds of the company to that umount. There is a pretense of protect-. Inj; the government by giving it a first mortgage on all the property of the com pany but the government hail the sume proteotlon In the case of tho Pacific rail roads, und what did it amount to'.' While the promoters of those roads who received the government subsidy made millions out of tho enterprises, the government has never received one cent. The Nicaragua canal seems to be a more uncertain specu lation for the government thun even the Pacific rallrouds. It is estimated that the canal can be built for JluO.mw.cx), of which the United Slates virtually furnishes 70. ouo.msi. but no Intelligent mull believes It uun be built for ihut money. It will prob ably cost ;.,'iit.iJ00.UUU before It Is finished, If it ever Is Unbilled. If the canal is feasible and necessary, and our government Is to furnish tho bulk of the capital. It would be much better for It to imderluke the work .Mingle handed and alone than to admit private purtli s as side partners. The side partners will be sure to get tho best of It in one way or unother. If the govern ment owns It outright It will be a genuine ly national institution, und the United States would have the right and the powor to defend it from all aggressors." Simply a Swindling Scheme. Altoonu. Tribune: "The Nicaragua canal Job has gone through the United States senate and will doubtless pass tho house, lloth senators from Pennsylvania voted for it. Under Its provisions the na tional government becomes responsible for the payment of $7i.ihi,inhi. This is one of the most gigantic swindling schemes of the. uge. Not that a canal connecting tho Iwo oceans is not needed, "but thut tho government Indorsement is wanted mere ly to enable the original members of the corporation to realize, handsome fortunes before retiring from business. There Is no reason why these people should not he reimbursed for any expenditures they huvo actually made, but they should not be made rich by our government. If tho canal Is going to be the grand success Us projectors claim why should there he uny need of national guarantee of Its bonds. ( in the other hand, why does not the gov ernment tuke over the contract and Issue the bonds? If It Is to be responsible for fulluro It might as well reap the profits of success." LEUISLAT1VK TOPICS.

Ono Itemedy for Anarchy. From the Minneapolis Times. In France some medical experts have come to the conclusion that anarchy Is an Infectious eonujlalnt and should be quar antined. Others discover In It a nervous disorder which must be treated like other nervous troubles, therapeutically! An ourous, communicated by example, the short course to cure Is Iso lation. It Is held that If the newspaper maintained absolute silence as to the do ings of anarchists; Ignored them and re ported no trials of anarchists, the disease would disappeur, since It feeds on noto riety und drumutio Incidents, and when an anurchlst cannot attract publio atten tion and pose as a martyr, his seal In the cause of disorder will abate. There Is no doubt much truth In the French view of anarchism. It la bred by publicity and comment und successful attempts to murder. Very I.Ike a "Koast." From Town Topics. .
