Board of Control Committees. It would be interesting to know upon what principle of Justice or equity President George B. Carson, of the board of control, has parceled out the committee chairmanships for the currant year. It would ba Interesting to know why comparatively new mem bers of that influential body have been assigned to two and even three chair manships apiece, while experienced men who were serving upon the board In responsible positions when some of these new favorites were little boys in knickerbockers have been relegated to obscure assignments. It may seem to President Carson that it is a shrewd adjustment of these the members who secured his election, and at the same, time to exhaust the list of available punishments for those members, mostly seasoned veterans in educational work, who supported the candidacy of Mr. Schrlefer. From the standpoint of a novice in politics, this conclusion may appear wise. But it will be a costly affair for the people of Scranton if this shall become the precedent for turning the board of control Into a political Institution for the rewarding of friends and the pun ishment of enemies. Two of the gentlemen at whom Presi dent Carson's bolt was aimed, Messrs. Langstaff and Wormser, were doing yeoman service for the educational In terests of this city before the meteor of Mr. Carson's ascension shot athwart the political firmament; and we trust that they will ba engaged In similar service long after that eccentric orb shall have fulfilled Its brief period of sputter and coruscation, and, together with its Jennings tall have disap peared, to be seen no more. This community could do nothing mors timely, it appears to us, than to Inoculate Itself against a spread of the pugilistic contagion. Shall Mayors Be Eligible to Re Election? The bill of Representative Collins to render mayors of thlrd-cluss cities eligible to re-election has many points In its favor. Two-thirds of a munlcl pal executive's first term In office I generally devoted to getting acquaint ed with what he has to (o. Just about the time he begins to feel qualified to do good service for the oily the pros pnt law bowls him out of ofllce, and bowls a new man In. This kind ot thing, if exercised In private business concerns, would nearly ruin profits, because it would keep the employer at most always at the mercy of Inexpert rnced subordinates It may be charged concerning may- era, as It is with some degree of jus tice charged concerning presidents of (he United States,' that eligibility to two or more consecutive terms would , cause them to use the considerable powers of their office to build up their own political chances and to tear down the chances of possible competitors, In the ease of an efficient mayor, this is an evil which would be more than counterbalanced by the public benefits accruing from his continuance In of fice; while, In the case ot an Inefficient and unpopular municipal executive, it I may be doubted If the powers of his office, though they were multiplied ten-fold, would be sufficient to force Ms re-election. The point of difference between mayors and presidents,' how ever, consists In the fact that while the latter are usually political chief tains, In control of Immense party pat ronage, the former occupy toward the .municipality more ' of tho relation which exists between the president of a large corporation and the various shareholders. It would, under the proposed law.be possible forthe mayor of a third-class city to promote his political fortunes by giving an honest, faithful and business-like administra tion of the. duties of his office where it would not be possible, as with a presi dent backed by partisan machinery and the Influence of immense patron age, to foist himself again on the peo ple, regardless of their preferences. The higher up we go in the scale of governments, the greater becomes both the amount of patronage at tho disposal of the executive and the tend ency of that executive to uso It In Ills political battles. Wo therefore think that the Collins bill is wise In its limi tation of the proposed change to third- class cities. The city of Scranton, for example, Is the largest third-class city In the stute. Tho patronage In con nection with its mayorulty Is large, as compared with muny smaller 'cities. but It Is by no means large enough to Invest the wleltler of It with a mis chievous sense of InuVpeiiuVmfe. Hack of all that potronuge Is the knowlcilge thut the public Is close at his elbow scrutinizing what he does and conjee turlng why he does It. Such a near ness of public I'Xumluntlon, which is not found and not possible In tho very large cities, would operate us u con stant check upon the thlrd-cluss city mayor who. should the Collins 'bill pass, should .seek to angle for a re election. We believe the proposed change is a good one, and In tho Interest of good government. . Mayors of Wilkes Harre, under that city's special char ter, have been several times re-elected with excellent public results. If Luzerne county desires to shelter I.ackawunua's priue fighters, she can of course do so; but It Is a kind of hos pitality that we could not well recipro cate. For a Superior Court. The bill to create a Superior court of appeals for the purpose of relieving the overcrowded Supreme court, which has passed tho senate, provides that the court shall consist of five Judges, to be appointed by the governor before July 1, next, and to hold office until the first Monday of January, 1SUG. At the general election In November next five Judges are to be selected whose terms of ofllce are fixed at ten years. No electors can vote for more than four candidates, thus ensuring the minority party one representative on the bench, At any subsequent elections when two or more judges are to be chosen the minority party will be assured of one representative. The salaries of the Judges are'to be $7,500, the same as those of Philadelphia Judges of the common pleas courts. The court Is required to meet at least once a year In Philadel phia, Pittsburg and Ilarrlsburg, but may meet elsewhere as the members may deem necessary. The bill also pre scribes the cases of which the court shall have Jurisdiction, these remaining the same as previously explained; and provides for the printing of its deci sions, the Supreme court reporter being allowed to employ an assistant at a salary not to exceed $:,000 per annum. There is very little doubt that the measure, In Its present form, is gener ally satisfactory to the people Al though the establishment of the pro posed court would carry with it some new expense, the benefits derived from that outlay would, It is believed, be cheap at twice their promised cost. If this bill should not. pass, the legisla ture would have, sooner or later, to make an equivalent outlay for an In crease in the working capacity of the Supreme court. But It Is far from de slrablu that the latter tribunal should be asked to fritter away a large per centage of its time In the hearing of petty ca9es on appeal. ' Its mission should be higher and broader than this adjudication of what may not inaptly be called the "small beer" litigation carried up to It from the various county tribunals. Pennsylvania Is the only large state which, -to our knowledge, employs no intermediate court of ap peals. It Is high time that our common wealth fitted its courts to the incrensed pressure upon them; for of all things on thin earth prompt Justice should be the most precious. An interesting circumstance It Is that until Colonel Humucl Hardin Church, of Pittsburg, In his "Life of Cromwell," pointed out the fuct, the English gov ernment had made no effort to com memorate the fume of its greatest chieftain. Whether this omission was an oversight, or a deliberate disinclina tion to officially recognize a famous rebel Is not clear; but since Colonel Church has called attention to the omission, a bill has been Introduced In narlinmvnt to appropriate MM) pounds v Af.rllnir for a Cromwelllan stntUu. Hut evon this modest measure encounters violent opposition from Tory stlcKlcrs for the old monorchia! traditions. The point, however, Is of consequent: only hy reason of Its novelty. Cromwell's ftttno can neither be muda nor murred by act of a modern parliament. A quarrel of Republican members over legislative patronage at Indian- apolis has supplied the Democratic newspapers with an excellent pretext to caHt Imuslnary stumbling blocks In tho pathway of cx-IJmsldent Harrison's supposititious renominating; boom. The probabilities are that General Harrl- on Is worrying less about 18116 than any other prominent Hepublloan In the country. The Lancaster Intelligencer celebrat ed Its one hundredth anniversary on Saturday by the Issuo of a 40-page pa per containing a wealth of Interesting matter. In addition to the usual local write-ups and historical sketches were fucslmlle copied of pages of tho first numbers of the Intelligencer printed In 171)3. then the Lancaster Journal. The remarkable contrast between the quaint journal of 1795 and the splendid publication of today is the best evi dence of the spirit of progress that has presided over the destinies of the In telligencer during the past hundred years. We have received, from an anony mous correspondent who slguB himself "Kx-A. P. A.," a copy ot the so-called "principles" of the American Protec tive association. For this courtesy we acknowledge our thanks, and promise that the enclosure shall have our early attention. "Ex-A. P. A." will pardon us, however, for reminding him that the manly way to address a newspaper Is to sign one's full name, and be pre pared, If necessary, to take the conse quences.

Superior Court Judgeships. A "gentleman In a position to know tells the Patriot that there wus no doubt that Juitne Arehbald. of Lackawanna, would bo a candidate for selection as one of the new superior court Judges. K. N. Wllliard, of Bcranton, Is also a candi date, with strong Indorsements. The mil is piuctlcally the one drawn by him and Introduced by Senator Vatwhan, though It has been substituted for the llrewer bill and will probably be known by tho name of the Franklin county Benntor. Tho Introduction by Senator llrewer 'f his bill for the- establishment of a circuit court gives color to the story that Judge John Stewart, of Franklin, will also be a andldato for ono of the live positions. It Is known that Judge Stewart's ambi tion Is to becomo a member of the su preme court and be probably considers tbe new court a stepping stone vy w hich iu reach thut Vltlma Thule of Pennsylvania lawyers. Among others mentioned for the places are JuilKes .Michael Arnold, of Vliil:ideli,hla. and McPherson, of Dauphin, and Attorney General iMcl'onnlik. of Ly coming. Should tbe latter oe cmvaiou to the bench the old fight over the attor ney generalship would be reopened with air urostieet thut Lyman u. uiiuen, ui this city, would carry off the prize. Looks Like a Wholcsulo Knid. n'hr I -1 veiv decided opposition here to the bill of Senator Osbourn. of Philadel phia, which seeks to add a new branch to thoso required to be taught in the public schools a system of pictorial illustra tions consisting of 2j0 photographic illus trations printed on cardboard, classed ntn nature, emrlneorinir. architecture! panorama, art, race types and antiquity. and tho description 13 so nimuio mui 11 looks as thouRh only one certain set of pictures already prejtared would till the bill. F.very school board 18 compenea, un der penalty of forfeiting Its state appro priation If It does not, lo place these pic tures In every school room In the district, ami Is to pay for each set not less than $10 nor more than Jlii. At tne lowest pr.ee each country school house would cost tho taxpayers $10 for tho pictures. Home of the city schools, with twelve or fifteen rooms, would cost the taxpayers from $120 to $l.'i0. .Multiply tho minimum price by the wholo number of school rooms In the state and the totul cost, should this bill lu-rnmrt n law. would be about $ioU.iw. This bill looks very much like a nice little scheme to foist a certain book upon every school, at a price fixed by law, under tne penalty, If the directors full to buy It, of los nit the siata appropriation. 11 hub been figured out that this measure, If passed, would cost Lackawanna county $5,000, Luzerne $7,500, Wayne $J,2.r,0, Wyom ing $1,300, and Susquehanna J,200. nut there Is one redeeming feature about the bill. It will never pass. Its Trolley Is Off. Senator Qrady's famous bill regulating eleotrlc and gas companies has been post poned Indefinitely. The bill was Intro duced early lit the session. It fixed tho unit for measuring electricity, stipulated tho eandlo power that both gas and electricity must produce, arranged for a board, one of whom would he the director of public safety, to whom nil applications for charters would bo reierreu ami us decision would be Una, etc. Hoth tlio consumer and the rompnnles were afraid of tho measure. Electricians admit mat some legal regulations should be adopted to control electric companies more in tho Interest of the consumers. Hut the op position to the Orady bill was too violent to bo overcome, and It nau to Bleep ine llnal sleep. The School tiarb Hill. From tho Pittsburg Commerelnl-Gasotto. Tho bill prohibiting tho wearing or any religious garb or Insignia by teachers In the publlo schools, was orrereti, as our readers are gonerally aware, In rnsponse tn atnrirestlons made by the supreme court In Its decision of the controverted points In the (liillltzln ease. In that case It was held thut tinder tho law as it stood there was nothing to prevent tho members of ony religious order rrom wearing tho enrb and displaying the In signia of tho society to which they be longed while teaching in the m-nooisor mo BtiLio. Thd -OHllHsIn schobls had .-been taught by Bisters of a-certain order In the Itoman Catholic rnurcn, anu tne oojeciion was raised that their appearance In that capacity dressed In their churchly gurh was In violation or tne loner ami spiru 01 Iho constitution and laws of tho state.

The chief object Is to keep the schools of the state entirely free rrom nil secaariun minium., anil even from the uppeuraneo of ehurchly domination.' The proposed law leaves wholly untouched tlio schools or ine churches, whether C'uthollc, Lutheran, AmlHh, or Menonnlte. Teachers III paro chial schools can wear any garb they choose, and In that attitude their religious liberty Is not even questioned. It Is whf-n thoy enter 'the portals of the publlo schools, which have been Instituted sepu rnte end apart from all seutarUintam, that thoy are required tomcar as servants of the stato and not as proafranillHts of re union. There was no reel occasion ror ine avast) attacks made upon the bill by some of the members. 1'i'iy "nders oo.i It Is a wise, Just, peaceable and pntrlotlc mu,,ureone in strict harmony with the progress of the age and the spirit of our free institutions. 1 An Anomaly in Journalism. From the Philadelphia Tress. It Is a oueer Instance of human perver sity that a newspaper editor should desire that the lnw should punish him for tho error of his subordinates after he has him self done all In his power to correct the er ror and has paid for all the damages canned. There Is such an editor, how ever, and he pregtuus over 1110 nvening Telegraph or inis city, us opposes ine hill now pending In the legislature to make I the libel law ot ine state a measure 01 jus tlce and equity Instead of a means of ex tortion and blackmail. Should the pro posed amendment be defeated and should tho editor of the Telegraph tnrougn a libel suit become the victim of the pres ent law and his own over-xeai, nis es teemed contemporaries will no doubt con dole with him.
