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

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."

to the general corporation act. The busi

heretofore to legislate for this clans has
resulted singularly In failure. The one

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.
