"Wo ought toreallzo by this time that we should not do our work nor make onr loans In Europe, Let 11s place what op Hons we have with our own capitalists, and our orders with our own rnnnufac turers, who, in the past, have been always abundantly able to meet every need and demand of the government end of the people."-Governor William Mckinley, at Hartford. Characteristic Treachery. General Hastings' administration of the office of governor of Pennsylvania needs no defense from us. It has been clean and manly; and has, in all the Items of his official conduct up to this time, compared favorably with the rec ord of his Republican predecessors. We have no doubt that this fair start will be sustained throughout his term of office. We desire, however, to call attention to the peculiar characteristics of an editorial expression In the Scranton Republican of yesterday, whereby, on the day that a number of the foremost citizens of Scranton and its vicinity journeyed to Harrlsburg to place be fore the governor the fitness of an eminent fellow-citizen, Mr. E. N. Wll lard, for appointment to a Judgeship of the new Superior court, and to plead for favorable executive action on ap propriations affecting the very life of a number of our worthy local charities, the attempt was made, in most abusive and vindictive language, to thwart the generous purpose of this mission and to Invite gubernatorial resentment, with all that that implies. While we believe that General Hast ings Is too broad-gauged and too well informed a man to visit upon the people of this community the just indignation which he must feel for his envenomed local assailant; yet we wish our readers to consider the studied malice which must have Impelled this attack at this time. Here was ft delppaf Inn MimnMul ' in almost equal proportions of Dem ocrats and Republicans the former, for this once, magnanimously Ignoring party lines In order to bear cheerful testimony to the personal and profes sional deserving of a distinguished Re publican candidate and neighbor and on the very day that it bore its mes sage of sectional indorsement and neighborly good-will. Irrespective of party, a Journal professing political kinship with Mr. Wlllard, pretending friendship for his candidacy and as suming to voice the sentiment of local Republicanism deliberately and! brutal ly tries, not only to stab Mr. Wlllard In the back, without profit or provoca tion, but also to Jeapord the Important needs of deserving local charities, which, under the' state's necessities, tand at the best in danger of curtail ment. . ... The character of this treachery needs but to be explained to be condemned, swiftly and severely, by every lover of decency and fair play. We waste no time on the author of it; but we submit to the intelligence of this liberal com munity that it should be unreservedly repudiated. ' : Practical Jury Reform. Judge Barrett, of the New York Su preme court, who presided during the recent tedious trials of Police Inspector MdLaughlin, Is preparing for the next legislature of his state measures de signed to improve the present Jury sys tem. For one thing, we learn from the Philadelphia Times that he will urge the appointment of special commis sioners of Jurors, who shall select from the great mass of names each year 2,500 men of "the very highest standing in the community, men of unblemished reputation, leading merchants, business men, and men of affairs." These men are fo (be exempt from Jury duty except ing as they may be called aa select jurors. In any case before a court where there Is such public prejudice or pas sion as to endanger the proper admin istration of justice, any party to a suit may appeal to the court for a select Jury to be drawn from this list, so that any suitor who apprehends that public passion or prejudice may do him In justice in the Jury box, can command a jury of the highest intelligence and In tegrity composed of nen who, being specially called as special Jurora for special cases, could not but act Judicial ly in rendering their verdicts. In. addi tion to this special jury system that is open to all the standard of jurors is to be elevated by the Inspection of special Jury commissioners to be appointed by 3v the courts, and, an the Times points out In the course of a strong editorial, thus assure the administration of Jus tice without the fear of political or Indi vidual control. It would eliminate from the jury system all traces of parti san prejudice or personal Influence, and would assure generally honest verdicts In Judicial controversies between liti gants." There appears to be much solid argu ment In favor of Judge Barrett's pro posed change. It Is notorious that the present method of drawing jurors Is grossly unsatisfactory. The prevalence of professionals In the jury box, the Increasing liability to disagreement and the equally growing feeling of sus picion with reference to the Integrity of average Juries chosen according to conventional standards of Ignorance and imbecility make desirable some change calculated to restore popular faith In the fairness of trials by jury. We do not see why special fitness should be exacted of the mien who carry mail, lick stamps or add rows of fig ures In federal department ofllces, and not of men Invested with the power and responsibility of passing upon most im portant Issues affecting property, free dom and even life Itself. The "special jury" Idea seems at first thoughts to be a highly desirable one, worthy of a careful test. ' ' What Next? The people of Scranton have dealt very generously with the Scranton Traction company. Through therr rep resentatives In councils they have per mitted that corporation to secure, with out legitimate cost, franchises and priv ileges amounting in value to hundreds of thousands of dollars. They have Imposed but one legal condition a pole tax amounting to $2,600 a year and this was not imposed until the Trac tion company had bitterly fought a similar ordinance and showed Its vln dlctlveness by defeating for re-election the councilman who had Introduced the pioneer ordinance on this subject. The people of Scranton, when the present management took hold of the street car lines of this city, were prom ised a greatly improved service, low fares for worklngmen and special rates for school children. This promise was kept for a few months, or during the time when valuable concessions were being railroaded through councils; and then they were broken. The first evi dence of the Traction company's bad faith was Its failure to keep its lines In a suitable condition of fitness for the rapid transit of a growing patronage. Next came the refusal to continue the special rates for school children. This was followed by the curtailment of the transfer system from a margin of one hour to a margin of only thirty minutes. In the course of time the low working men's fares were rescinded. Anon came the virtual refusal of the com pany to provide its cars with safety fenders and to submit to a 'reasonable ordinance governing the speed of cars in thickly populated portions of the city. Last of all, we have the recent high-handed attempt, under cover of the Franklin avenue double-track scheme, to vitalize the sweeping Peo ple's Street Railroad charter so as to enable the Scranton Traction company to purloin at its pleasure any and all streets In the city. During all this time, the car service has not percep tibly improved; schedules are main tained only in an arbitrary fashion; and upon special occasions, such as ball games or theatrical performances, crowds of people are furnished with about half the number of cars neces sary to their proper and safe convey ance. In view ot these facts and tendencies we are of the opinion that it Is time for publlo sentiment in this city to take some steps toward the protection of the legitimate interests of the public and to ascertain, If possible, whether the fair demands of a community of 1,25,000 inhabitants for cheap, safe and efficient street transportation are to be complacently evaded or Ignored by a debt-ridden corporations whose manage ment, from choice or necessity, remains to all appearances deaf to the voice of protest. An ado is being made in some of the papers concerning en alleged big syn dicate of silver mine owners said to have been formed to aid the cause of free coinage. The details of the plot are somewhat nebulous; but if such a syndicate has been formed It probably reasons that it has as good a right to make profits out of Uncle Bam as has the Rothschild-Morgan syndicate, which resides beyond the sea. McKean county Republicans, at their recent convention, opposed free silver coinage at this time, but favored bi metallism whenever an international agreement will sanction the unre stricted use of the two metals at a parity. This is clearly the Republican position. In the light of the last na tional platform; and- until a national platform shall declare otherwise, it must remain the binding rule of party creed and doctrine. Many of the Washington correspond ents complain that President Cleveland is too reserved, and far too fond of shutting himself out of the way ot peo ple. ; They apparently overlook the divinity which ought to hedge a conse crated president. , It would materially Improve the pros pects of the cause of honest bimetallism if there were fewer Slbleys, Peffers and Stewarts on the surface" of contempor ary events. . It fs unfortunate that the New York Sun, in other respects so close to what a newspaper should 'be, should mar Its achievement by an unfair and an un natural hostility to municipal reform. It is difficult to believe that so intelli gent a man as Charles A. . Dana can be sincere in his professed esteem for the bcodle-grabblng ouliancs known as Tammany Ball. The German estimate of the popula tion of the world now Is 1,480,000,000, and one of the best authorities of the Royal Statistical society says It will be Increased by the year 2317 to S3, 586,000,000. Now while there's room Is the time to be happy. And now it Is M. Alphonse Allardl, a prominent Belgian economist, who de clares that the -"only remedy for the present world-wide Industrial and commercial depression Is to rehabili tate silver." International bimetallism Is by no means an Iridescent dream. Lord Rosebery has proved a disap pointment as premier of England. But It may be lie has not had a fair chance. He is a young man, as politicians go; and can afford to wait, if necessary, for the fame that many once believed his due. President Roosevelt's determination to secure for New York city a proper observance of the Christian Sabbath Is a creditable one, In the execution of which he can find room for the exer cise of his very best abilities. The Interesting fact was recently disclosed during a lawsuit at Beaver that the average cost of a flrst-class bi cycle does not exceed $30. The other $70 is the cost largely of the pride which sooth before a fall. Philadelphia's Municipal league, be fore putting up for the Penrose "Lex owing," manifests a Busplclous Inclina tion to exact a guaranty for the prompt and proper delivery" of the goods. One thing may be pretty safely pre dicted In, advance. There will, next year, be precious little of the New York-ls-the-plvotal-atate howling in side the Republican party. The impression that one Benjamin Harrison will be a mighty potent factor in the next Republican convention is by no means on the wane. The report from New York is that Whitney wants Lamontito run for pres ident. And yet Whitney pretends to be Lamont's friend! WISE AN1) 0T11EKWISE. A Washington correspondent of the Chi cago T.mes-Heralil supplies another story of Oresham, this time relating to his ca reer on the bench. When he was young on the bench it appears that Judge Gresh am had to hear a suit for possession of some land In Lake county. The plaintiff sought to dispossess the. defendant, who had been an occupant of the land tor about twenty years. The title was evidently good and the only question as the judge put it when the case was first explained to him was whether the possession ot tha ground for twenty years gave the defend ant a right to steal it. However, the de fendant was permitted to state the case for himself, and his plea was wholly for sympathy. He told the court how he and his family had settled on the land in IMG; how a little girl had come to his wife there; how the little girl grew and grew and be came prettier and prettier every day; how she sickened and the roses went out of her cheeks; how he walked to Chicago to get a doctor, but when he returned the little girl was dead. They burled her, he said, without mass or candle, in a little mound beneath an old tree thnt stood on the property on which he had lived so long. And now, he said, they wanted to steal his child's grave from hlra. When the simple-minded German had finished his tale the lawyers saw that the Judge's eyes were full of tears. He said to the plaintiff: "Sir, you may find some courts that would give you this man's little grave, but not this one. Mr. Clerk, make out a decree for the defendant." a a a THE GOOD OLD TIMES: Oh, bring me back the memory Of scenes now passed away, Of things which seem Just now so dear More dear than I can say. Bring forth the old newspaper file And let me read once more Of how the mercury went down - As ne'er It did beiore.

Those by-gone days we met them then With disapproving brow; But bring the old newspaper file, We'll revel In them now. Washington Star, a a General Fltzhugh Lee Is not one of the kind who would spoil a good story simply because the Joke happened to be on him self. His recent visit to Louisville recalls to the Courier-Journal of that city an an ecdote which the general himself told and which furnishes a good Illustration of the Confederate Boldlers' esteem for General Robert E. Lee: As It is well known. Gen eral Fltzhugh Lee was at the head of the cavalry, nd these were much envied by the Infantrymen who had to walk through the mud and dust. After General Robert E. Lee had surrendered General Fltzhugh Lee rode away from Appomattox. While riding through a lane he met an old North Carolina soldier. "Ho, theret" cried Gen eral Lee, "where are you going?" "I've been off on a furlough, and am now going back to Join General Bob Lee," replied the old soldier. "You needn't go back, but can throw your gun away and return home, for Lee's surrendered." "Lee's surrendered?" "That's what I said." "It must have been that damned Fits Lee, then. Bob Lee would never surrender," and the old soldier put on a look of con tempt and walked on. a a POUND AT LAST: "I wondher,"- said Mr. Dolan, "Is it thrue that whlsky'll cure a shnake bolt" . "Av coorse It's thrue," replied his com panion. "An there's no doubt at all about whisky makln' a mon see shnakes." "Dlvll a bit." "Begob, thin 1" "Phwat's the matter wld yes?" "Oi've dlshcovered perpetual motion." Washington Btar. a a a Horace Greeley's wife, as Is well known, was peculiar in some respects. One of her peculiarities Is revealed in a reminiscence lately narrated by ex-Congressman Cum mlngs, within the hearing of the Washing ton Star. "One day," said Mr. Cummlngs, "I went out to see Greeley at Chappaqua about some newspaper, business. The old gentleman saw me coming as he stood looking out of the window and opened the door himself. 'Come in here, Amos,' he said, In his high, mealy tones, aa he lead me Into a fashion of parlor. I followed him Into the room, and aa I Was only going to remain a moment, laid my hat, gloves, and cane on a center table. Greeley and I bad Just Immersed ourselves in a talk when Mrs. Greeley swept Into the room. The moment she entered the door her eyes fell - Indignantly on my trosseau hat, gloves, and stick on the table. Without a word, and before I could speak to her, she swooped on the outfit like a flehhawk, and the next moment threw them out of the window. Then she left the room with out pausing for speech, as one who had taught somebody that the hall was the place for hats and canes and small brlc-a-brac. I was Inclined to get a trifle hot; a man naturally might who sees his hat pounced upon and cast Into the shrubbery. But before I could get up or say a word Qreeley stretched out his hand In a depre catory manner and cheered me with the remark: 'Never mind her, Amos; she thought they were mine.' Afterward, however," concluded Cummlngs, "whan I recalled what Greeley's hat used to look like I had my doubts." a e MAGAZINE VERSE: Now and then a thought comes sadly to me A thoughty thought that Cometh in a chunk.
