It strikes us that when the American Protective aHsoclatlon opposes the en actment of so economical a measure as the state custodianship bill, upon the ground that one of the possible ap pointees to that as yet uncreated of fice a man who wears a medal of lionor voted to him by congress because of special bravery In the war for the preservation of the Union is a mem tier of the Catholic church, it gets down to about the lowest depths of ignorant malignancy yet recorded in Its short period of evil existence. Fortunately, the American Protective association of quacks, bigots and cranks is not run ning the administration of Governor Hastings. For the People to Decide. There Is, and most fortunately there rwed be, in the minds of the people of Pcranton and vicinity no suggestion of conflict between the two eminent Re publicans who have recently been named, by popular rumor, as candi dates for appointment to the bench of the expected superior court. There Is, In the first place, no room for a conflict. Mr. 'Wlllard, who has for forty years been a busy practitioner of the law, combining In his practice, to a degree rarely equalled, a studied knowledge of It gal principles with an acquired knowl edge of men and of business affairs, of fers no basis for a rivalry with Judge Archbald, the distinguished student of the law's spirit and philosophy, whose public career has been almost wholly that of the isolated Jurist. The one Is pre-eminently a man of deeds; the other, a man of thoughts. One Is a Waster of men; the other, a master of books. Both command admiration and deserve preferment; but along dissimi lar lines which do not draw together nd hence cannot clash. The proposed Superior court, which for many cases will be the ultimate resort, will need Upon Its bench men of deeds, like fMr. Wlllard, who can Identify Justice by their sharpened experience, no less than It will need men of thoughts, well Versed In tho lore of books. The one Equipment Is a logical and a necessary fcupplement to the other. If northeastern Pennsylvania could fclace two candidates on this bench at tine time, we do not know where there could be found a stronger teum than K. N. Wlllard and R. W.' Archbald. Rut it Is a fart, clearly patent to the people, that while this section of the common wealth, by reason of Its diversified and complicated special litigation, may reasonably hope for representation on the bench of this important court. It can neither expect two representatives lior, by falling to emphasize Its prefer ence, render feasible the appointment of one. In considering, then, which Candidate to prefer the question natur ally arisen, "Which one Is free to go? We believe that this single question, when Talrly answered, will terminate all un certainty In the premises. If there Is any meaning- to the vote of last Novem ber upon the Judgeship question It seems to us that It was an expression Df command from the people that Judge Archbald should continue to preside, Over the courts of Lackawanna county, at least until the opportunity for pro motion should carry with It no neces sary sacrifice of the people's Interests liere at home. This view of that vote presupposes that those who re-elected litm Intended to pay him the highest Dompllment within' their gift, that of continuing him In the most honorable pnice at their disposal. Upon the other hand, Mr. Wlllard Is hot only fully qualified to become a Judge of the Superior court, but he Is so situated that he can freely accept this honor should it be proffered, and bring; to the new tribunal ample special knowledge of the, intricate litigation arising from the so-called anthracite counties, without In the least embar rassing his home constituency. An ac ceptance by him of this appointment Svould neither cripple the local court nor lubject the people uf - Lackawanna county to the expense and trouble of an extra election. The bar of Lacka wanna county has already evinced Its appreciation of this factor in the situa tion by signing, wflh practical unanim ity, a petition for Mr. Wlllard's ap pointment. This action on Its part, far from implying a lack of appreciation for Judge Archbald's merit and ser vices, was in truth a glowing com pliment to the present president Judge, whose transfer to another field of use fulness would, at this time, be doubly regrettable. The question at Issue rises superior to personal ambition. It is one for the people to decide In' the light of their own best Interests. For this reason we believe that Mr. Wlllard's appointment as Judge of the superior court will be urged by the people us the ono available solution of the problem Involving due consideration of them. After a good-natured division at the primaries, the Republicans of the Six teenth ward have nominated Adam Schroeder for select council, to succeed the lute Captain William Kellow. Mr. Schroeder Is a sturdy, energetic and thoroughly trustworthy man of affairs, whose election will place in office a man whom the public can unhesitatingly trust. Democracy's New Deal, The report that the president, having become dissatlslled with the manner in which Mr. Harrity has discharged his duties as federr.l pap-dispenser for Pennsylvania. Is determined to throw him overboard, in favor of some sifch lieutenant as ex-Chairman Kerr, ex Ooiigressman Wolverton or Chauncey K. Hhick reflects unexpected credit upon Mr. Cleveland's discernment. From a Republican standpoint, w? trust that It may not be true. Willi, the Democracy of Pennsylvania, under any leadership, Is bound to be In a mi nority, there is something In Mr. Ilar rlty's management which so Invests that minority with strong shrinking powers as to cause Republicans to be uncommonly grateful. We prefer llar rity to any other Democrat, not be cause of any merits of his own, but be cause of the ease with which he can be whipped. A new leadership could hardly be dangerous, but It might be trouble some. Its action In a given contin gency could not be so readily and so cock-surely foretold an could Mr. Har rity's. The latter gentleman, when confronted by two or more emergen cies requiring nice Judgment could with entire security be depended upon to make the worst possible choice. This was Illustrated, over and over again. In his recent distribution of state and national patronage. In what part of the commonwealth did Harrlty strengthen his party by means of correctly-placed appointments? Certainly not In Scranton. The local appoint ments for which he stands sponsor may be Irreproachable from the stand point of social etiquette and jolly good fellowship, but It would be an unde served perversion of the truth to Bay that they have redounded to the strengthening of the Democratic party as a fighting organization. Patronage, from a party standpoint, could hardly have been less adroitly bestowed. Xor Is Scranton In this particular an exceptional locullty by any means. There is scarcely a community In the state which does not reverberate with the clashing of minority factions, an gered at unfortunate selections for post masters, Internal revenue collectors or deputies. The bulk of these selections have been made from the "high-toned" classes, which to the socialistic masses of the Democratic organization, self called the "rank and file," Is little less than party treason. Instead of pen sioning off the heelers, the manipula tors and the obsolescent party hacks, the Cleveland administration in Penn sylvania Ijas been Impolitic enough in many Instances to defer to the silk stocking aristocrats who can read, write and cipher; and naturally Har rlty gets the opprobrium therefor. It Is a trifle late In the game for a new deal, Intended as a counter irritant, to be of much partisan value. Hut If it shall be attempted It will at least be Interesting, entertaining and Imma terial. The propprty-owners of Franklin ave nue may have no rights that councils '"el bound to respect; but they ought at least to be thrown down a trifle more softly. The Future of Bimetallism. It is a fact of some locul interest that ex-Co:evtor Thomas V. Cooper has un reservedly acknowledged his conver sion to the monetary principles of Senator Cameron, who wants the free coinage of American sliver upon a par ity with gold. In other words, he has become n, practical bimetallism as op posed to those who, professing to favor bimetallism In accordance with the Inst national Republican platform, never theless act ond argue, upon a mono metallic gold basls', now- and , then throwing a sop to the silverlte contin gent within their pnrty. In the form of some vague allusion to an "Interna tional agreement." We , take It that the Philadelphia Press, which sharply criticizes Mr. Cooper for simply getting In line with the unmistakable drift of public opin ion, Is one of those journals which be lieve that an "International agree ment" is necessary to the determina tion of America's financial policy. It says: "The Republicans of Pennsylva nia and of the country, who favor the restoration of silver to Its full monetary role through the only safe method of International action, are. the true -hi-metalllsts and seek the largest possible use of both gold nd silver." It Is char acteristic of the low ebb of the Inde pendent spirit In America that, after we have successfully, Jn our system of pro tective tariffs, combatteii and conquered the entire world, with its hoBtlle tenet of laissez faire, ithere should now be this sudden anxiety to ask the world at large to make a currency system for us. The Press may believe that "Interna tional action" is the only safe method of restoring American silver to a parity with gold, but there Is a rapidly grow ing sentiment, even among eastern Re publicans, that If we were to stop' hanging to the coat-tails of England and Germany In this matter, and pro ceed to solve the question In our own name and by virtue of our own mani fest superiority as a self-sustaining and self-contained people, we could soon have things our own way touching a currency just as, we now have.them our own way In the Item of a protective tariff system. We are not, as the Press might suppose, the dependents but the peers of European peoples. We can work out our own destiny to our own satisfaction, whether they like It or not. The simplicity of this matter must be the one great reason why so many peo ple do not get their proper bearings. An International agreement will un doubtedly be very acceptable when it comes. Rut while we are wearily wait ing for it, why nut chip a prohibitive duty on foreign silver bullion, coin our own silver at a ratio to be agreed upon, and let the whole thing go at that? We can do without the Investments of Europe much more easily than Europe can do without our meats, and cereals and cotton. The upshot of tills would be that while we need not go to Europe fur a settlement of the coinage relations between silver and gold, Europe would soon have to come to us for that settle ment, and America once more would set the pace. The esteemed Montrose Republican thinks "there ls.no evidence that in our state any considerable number of pur ents and guardians fail to give their children and wards all the benefits of education they possibly can. Here and there possibly there are a few who are indifferent to the welfare of the children for whom they are responsible, but the number Is unquestionably very limited, and is conilned almost entirely to u few classes of the more Ignorant foreigners." The Republican must know that according to reports to the state superintendent of public instruc tion from 150,000 to 175,OOu boys anil girls In Pennsylvania, between the ages of 7 and 13 years, are not attending public school. Some go to parochial or private schools; but without doubt the great bulk are growing to manhood and womanhood In a condition of Il literacy. The question, In a nutshell, Is: "Is It worth anything to the state to have these Illiterates educated?" And if so, how much? -e The Scranton correspondent of the Milton People who Is a preacher, we believe, resident in Forest City differs In opinion from The Tribune, and em phasizes that difference by calling the editor of this paper vicious names. The gentleman's swaggering vulgarity has so often been shown in his debates with fellow clergymen that we view it upon this occasion morely as some thing he cannot help. Very naturally. President Hartman, of Philadelphia's common council, re ports that the heaf and power plunt vis ited by himself and associates while in .Scranton recently "Is the must eum plete and practical" of all the plants visited by them, lielng a typical Scranton Institution, It could not be less than the best. LEGISLATIVE TOPICS. . Harrisburg, March 17. The resolution making a special order for tho state cus todianship bill, in which Captain John C. Deilaney Is Interested, will come up for action tomorrow night. If it Is Intended to make, the bill apply to the contracts for the coming! year It will have to become a law" by. April 1 at the latest, anil that can bo accomplished only by a special order. As the bill Is said to huve been prepureil at the suggestion of Senator yuoy in order to unite under one head and to system atize the work of furnishing supplies to the various departments, similar to the plan In operation at Washington, there appears to be no doubt of the ultimate success of the measure, In spite of tho op position of the representatives of the so called patriotic orders to Captain Deluney, who Is to be the custodian under the) bill. The methods employed to light Cuptaln Delanoy ure well Illustrated by the expe rience of one of the prominent leaders on the Republican side of the house. While at his homo recently he was waited on by a delegation from nn Amerlsun Protect ive association lodge and asked to vote against the Deluncy bill. The rcpresenfti tlve naturally asked the reason for the opposition, and was 'told that It wns bused on "patriotic grounds." Thereupon the Republican leader proceeded to remind his visitors of the services rendered by Captain Delaney during the rebellion, while he wns still a mere boy, and the American Protective association,, cor nered on the patriotic racket, urn said to have openly admitted that their opposi tion wns based entirely on the fact that Csptnln Delanoy was a Catholic. Jn con sequence of such tactics us this, a counter feeling of smypathy is setting In, In favor of Cap In In Delaney, and it Is believed that tho custodianship bill will go through a. humming, over the heads of the bigoted opposition. Prospects of Trolloy Legislation. There s every likelihood that some kind of a bill will puss this legislature permit ting trolley roads to carry freight. Th country members clamor for It; anil the steam rullroads are doing comparatively IIRlii business In tho lobby. There ure three or four measures before tho home. That of Representative Hllss, of Dela ware, Is llkmly ito succeed. It legalizes tho carriage of freight by trolley com panies but makes the freight departments subject to the tegulutluns of local couih ells. ... Clinlrmnn Wormscr's Itctlroment. From the Sunday Free Press. Ifpon tho retirement of F. L. WormBer from ithe chairmanship of .the teachers' committee, a place which he has held tho greater part of tho sixteen years dur whlch ho has brljn a member of the board of school control, It Is but fair to say that his administration of the olllco has been distinguished by continuous and disin terested effort for the good, of the public schools. Ho hus shown himself to be a inun of broad mind, discriminating against no teacher on account of race or creed, making no promises which he did not perform when It was In his power, and spending much valunble time In the edu cational Interests of 'the city. The knowl edge of tho detail which hu acquired dur ing his long experience was of Incalcu lable benefit In tho administration of the affair of tho district, and If tho new ad ministration does not avail Itself of that knowledge It will moke a sad mistake.

The entire absence of anxiety In refer ence to the number of ducks slaughtered during the recent cruise ot the Violet, Is evidence that President Cleveland will bo obliged to utilize a stronger dynamo if he wishes ito pose as a magnetic man. It seems us 'though Andrew Selluwhlski, of Dickson, who has Just been refused a license, would be Juatllled In changing his name.
