The Cleveland Convention.
As the opening day of the Cleveland
convention of the Republican National
league draws near, It becomes Increas
lngly evident that that occasion will be
a red letter, event in the history of re
asserted Republicanism, and a signally
appropriate introduction to tho more
serious responsibilities of next year's
presidential campaign. The hospitable
people of the Lakeside city, compre
hending this, are preparing to establish
a new record In courtesy ana hospital
ity. According to the Cleveland World,
this Is a part of what 13 In store for
those who attend next week's conven
tion: For the entertainment of the throng of
visitors who will come to Cleveland the
general oommlttee will spend $15,iki0. Kv
ery accommodation, every convenience
and every pleasure that money can pro
cure will be extended to the city's guest!!.
The gates of the city will be thrown opsn
and everybody accepting the free, open
handed hospitality of tho citizens will
find themselves entertained as they nevr
have been before. Tho convention is In
the nature of an outing for the delegates,
but business Is judiciously mixed with
their pleasure-seeking. The greatest ef
forts of tho committees now at work are
directed toward giving the visitors a
good time and If they do not enjoy one of
the finest excursions of their lives Jt will
not be the fault of those who are laboring
to provide the entertainment. Tho free
dom of the city ami all it contains will be
given in the freest and most liberal man
ner. Facilities for seeing all of the prin
cipal features, tho public Institutions, .hn
parks, manufacturing district, for enjoy
ing the lake and the various resorts In tho
vicinity of Cleveland have been arrongrd
for on a large scale. The street rallroul
companies have courteously extended tho
use of their cars for the use of the visitors,
who are invited to ride free of cost as
much as they please.
Reports received by tho entertain
ment committee Indicate an unexpect
edly large attendance. Tennessee has
arranged to be represented more than
a hundred strong. Colorado will have
four special trains with 800 enthusiastic
representatives.' Almost as many more
wU come from Illinois, and even hope
less Texas promises a complete delega
tion of 68, together with several visit
ors. Under these circumstances, It will
foe proper for Pennsylvania to establish
a high-water mark in point of attend
ance, by sending 600 to 1,000 visitors,
and we should not be surprised if this
would be the case. The fever of Re
publicanism Is on the rampage these
days, and there's no telling In advance
where It will end.
Interesting Letters pf Travel.
on or about July 1, J. E. Richmond,
of Honesdale, whose aeries of letters

mentary iourney . to Halifax In
All, Mr. Richmond will write about fif
teen letters, and the field traversed, as
well as Mr. Richmond's descriptive
power, assures a readable and Instruc
tive series.
' Luzerne's Troubles.
Luzerne county is threatened with a
scandal of large proportions. Once be
fore In her history corruption crept
into soma of the court house offices and
a tremendous upheaval followed, land'
lng county commissioners and county
auditors In Jail. The effect of that ex
perienco was in the highest degree
wholesome. For years honesty pre
vailed In nearly all the county offices
of, Luzerne. During the past two or
three years there has been a suspicion
that all was not right In the commis
sioner's office, but there was no tangl
ble evidence of crookedness. Five or
six months ago the movement for the
erection of a new court house was in
augurated. There was no popular ob
jection to this movement. A new court
house was needed; everybody realized
this and there was a practically unani
mous sentiment in favor of it. Two
successive grand Juries took favorable
action.
At this stage the action of the com
missioners became so peculiar as to at
tract attention and even to arouse sus
picion. There are a number of expert
architects In the Wyoming valley
whose work has given them more than
local fume. The county commissioners
Ignored these architects, and, after a
Junket about the country, quietly en
tered Into a contract with a Michigan
architect named Meyers to furnish
plans for n new court house. "When the
terms of this, contract could no longer
be concealed public wrath asserted It
self. Thl8 contract provided that the
architect was to receive the sum of $20,
000 when the completed plans were de
livered to the commissioners. This
large sum Meyers was to receive
whether his plans were accepted or not.
Something more than a mere suspicion
of corruption naturally followed these
revelations when the further fact
was revealed that the plans submitted
contemplated a building of such pro
portions and at such enormous ex
pense, that Intelligent men at once be
came convinced that there was fraud
somewhere; that these plans for a mil
lion dollar court house were not intend
ed, either by the architect or the com
missioners, to be accepted. The com
missioners had no site on which to
erect the new court house and no au
thority to expend any such amount of
money as would be required to carry
out the plans submitted. Then the
commissioners advertised for bids to
erect the building, knowing that no
contractor could possibly make a bid
that would be accepted. This brought
on the climax. Cltlr.ens employed emi
nent counsel to Institute Injunction pro
ceedings. What has followed was not
altogether unexpected. The chief clerk
of the commissioners has testified un
der oath that there was corruption,
that the architect, acting through his
son, divided a large portion of the
money received with the chief clerk and
the commissioners. It Is to be expect
ed that prosecutions will follow, and
possibly the whole truth may be re
vealed. There Is an object lesson In this
gigantic scandal In Luzerne, and for at
least some years the people of Luzerne
may possibly profit by the lesson. In
that county, as in too many others, In
ferior men are habitually elected to the
office of county commissioner. Had
Luzerne been so fortunate as to have a
board of commissioners composed of
men of a high order of Intelligence and
business capacity, men of high standing
In the community, there would have
been no such complications and no such
scandal, A new court house, such as
the county needs, would be erected, and
the county would receive the value of a
dollar for every dollar expended. The
people of Luzerne will next year, In all
probability, elect responsible, and
competent county commissioners.
( Russell Sage thus explains his action
in joining the antl-PIatt club lately or
ganized in New York by John E. Mll
holland: "I like Mr. Flatt, and wo
havo been good friends all along. He
is a clever busirreBs man, but I do not
think that it Is exactly right for any
one man to bo the boss of the Republi
can party In the state, and neither do
I think it advisable for any one man
to be In a position to name the assem
blymen and the senators In the various
districts. I have no unkind word to
say against Mr. Piatt, but I am against
the system which he apparently repre
sents." This is the attitude of a good
many people in moro states than one.
The Indianapolis Journal Is printed
at General Harrison's home, owned by
a man whom the general once made
consul general to London and formerly
edited by the general's private secre
tary; but It is hardly fair to the ex
presldent to hold him responsible for
all the Journal's present editorial utter
ances. General Harrison, If he wero
Invested with that responsibility, would
probably at times use the blue pencil
very vigorously on the Journal's fourth
page. . ,
The contrast between the clean and
manly umpiring of Mr. Gaffney and
the misfit work of the irascible indi
vidual, Hurst,( was distinctly notice
able at yesterday's unpleasantness. It
might be worth the while of local
enthusiasts to raise a fund to employ
Hurst net to umpire In Scranton.

happy thoughts every once in a while.
According; to Washington advices,
President Cleveland Is disposed to
hedge on, the money question, at least
to the extent of advocating interna
tional bimetallism. But It is too late,
The political funeral arrangements for
G rover Cleveland have already been
made.
Even In far-off Chicago, Major Moses
P. Handy's eagle eye is not bedimmed.
"If the antls," says he In the Times
Herald, "propose to make vigorous war
on the Hon. Matthew Stanley Quay
they should at once begin to organize
their Indemnity bureau."

his own disappointments.
To a good many Republicans, the old
presidential ticket, Harrison and Mor
ton, would be about the proper thing
for 1S9C.
Mr. Norrls, of Wllkes-Barre, appears
to have a somewhat queer conception
of what constitutes legitimate fun.

i nomas n. Murray, or C'lenrtleld, is a
candidate for appointment (o the new su
perlor court bench, and has what are nos
slbly the strongest recommendations that
have been presented to tho governor. Of
the thirty Republican lawyers In Olear
fleld county, twenty-three have signed a
petition to Governor Hustings, as have
fifteen or twenty Democrats, among the
latter being ex-United States Senator W.
A. Wallace, Asslstunt United States
Treasurer V. D. IJIgler and ex-Judge
David L. Krtbs. Senators Cameron and
Quay and Congressmen Huff, W. A. Stone,
C. W. Stone, Hicks and Hopkins, and
Senators Arnold, Mcyuown, Andrews,
Decker, J. G. Mitchell, Lemon, Woods,
Hackenbnrff, Qobln and McCarroll, and
Kepresentatives Ames and Fatchin and
nineteen other members of the house
have written to tho governor in his
behalf. John Wanamuker, ex-Senator

ommended his appointment.

Christopher L. Mitgee's" paper, the
Pittsburg Times, takes this view of tho
legislature's worki "While a sufficient
number of members of.tho legislature sur
rendered to bad guidance on the question
of apportionment to defeat the bills which
every respectable consideration demanded
should be passed, tho session which has
just closed has been productive of an un
usual number of important and excellent
measures. The passnge of the long con
tested compulsory education act, so that
every child i-n Pennsylvania will have tho
schooling which ought to be part of the
making of citizens lit to bo trusted with
the right of suffrage, is the appropriate
sequel-to the free text-book law of two
years ago. It Is enough of Itself, if this
legislature had done nothing else all win
ter, to entitle It to remembrance. Its good
effects will go on increasing year after
year, while the small matters of contro
versy which have furnished subjects for
sensational newspaper articles will be for
gotten quickly, as they deserve to be.".

Robert P. Porter, In the Cleveland
World, thus extols the merits of the Re
publican league movement: "The Repub
lican league clubs are the working forces
of the Republican party. They are the
foundation of much ot its strength be
cause the clubs, as a rule, are controlled
by clean, bright, disinterested citizens
who are Republicans from principle and
not for office. They are, in fact, the solid,
faithful yeomen of the party, the men
who may be counted on for all emergen
cies. The World knows theso boys well,
has been In tho thlukeot of tho fight with
them in New York state and elsewhcro
and is glad to welcome them to this beau
tiful city on the lake. Their coming is a
good omen of success, and the stronger
they come the greater the Republican suc
cess next autumn and in 18SW."

The membors ot the National League of
Democratic clubs are agitated over a spilt
in tho organization. The league has clubs
In every state, and is especially strong in
the west. Recently it was decided to
send a number of leading Democrats on a
stumping tour, and Senator Morgan, of
Alabama, was named as one of the speak
ers. Immediately the administration took
steps to have the name of this free sil
ver, anti-Cleveland champion withdrawn,
and Postmaster Gtaneral Wilson himself
personally protested against Mr. Morgan.
Tho pressure Wns too strong and Morgan's
name was withdrawn. The Incident has
caused decided ill-feeling in the league.

Tho Philadelphia Evening Rullctln re
sents Senator Quay's Intimation that tho
tariff should be the main Republican Issue
next year. It says: "The presidential
election of 1886 will be won by thb party
which goes beforo the country resolutely
plodged to the cause of honest money and
opposed to silver monometallism; the tar
iff will be sunk out of sight, or, at least,
will bo but an incidental issue In the great

There appears to be a pretty general

The Phlladvlpma Inquirer, which Is
friendly to Senator Quay, says: "The
startling news sifts out of Bucks county
that the Hon. B. Frank Qllkeson wants
another term as chairman of tho state
committee, and that he intends to make
a fight for It. The probability Is that he
will have to If he cxpeots to got it." Is

The story of Geperal Gresham's first
entry into civic life Is thus totd: It was
during the omiy part of General Grant's
first term that an Indiana Republican was
ut the White House when the president in
quired: "is there a nun in your state by
the name ot Uresham, who was in tin
army?" "Yes," was the reply, "I remem
ber him very well," said the president,
adding, with a rising Inflection. "He can
have anything 1 can give him." A few
days afterward a telegram was sent to
Oreshain by President Grunt, asking him
If bo would accept the United States dis
trict Judgeship, the president having
learned meantime that Uresham Was a
good lawyer. Not a soul recommended the
appointment.
THE SUMMER GIRL: '

When frost-frighted verdure takes cour

Give way to our dreams of the sweet sum'

Will she travel In bloomers and ride on

Will Bhe put 'on man's collars, his nectle

rest?"

rounds: "A Hebrew merchunt failed,, and
promptly summoned his creditors, whom
he gathered Into a room. 'Gentlemen,' ho
said, 'every dollar I owe In the world Is to
you. I have gathered you hero with the
hope of arriving at an understanding. I
can't pay you a dollar; I haven't a penny
In the world. But, gentlemen, to satisfy
you, I am willing to cut myself Into twen
ty-five pieces and give each man a piece.'
'Cut away,' said an Irishman from the
corner, 'and be sure to give me your

FISHING:
Oh, you who have been fishing will Indorse
me when I say
That It always Is the biggest fish you
catch that gets away;
'Tls even so in other things yes, In our
own greedy eyes,
The biggest boon Is some elusive never-
captured prize;
We angle for the honors and the sweets
of human life,
Like fishermen, we brave the seas that
roll In endless strife;
And then at last, when all Is done, and
we are spent and gray,
We own tho biggest fish we've caught are
those that got away.
