Governor Hastings Vindicated.
The ridiculous charge that Gen
eral Hastings, while superintend
ing the relief operations at
Johnstown, o impropriated to his own.
use funds contributed for the relief
uf victims of the great flood would
probably never have been noticed by
the present chief executive nf Pennsyl
vania had It not been publicly made by
a man who hud at one Urns held an im
portant publio position. When Ex
Distrlot Attorney O'Connor, of Cam
bria counity, made such an Insinuation
at a Democratic political met ting and
afterward repeated It to representa
tives of the press, it assumed sufficient
gravity to Justify instant action, at
law.
At the recent trial at Ebensburg, it
was proved by dozens of reputable wit
nesses, Including ex-Lieutenant Gov
ernor Wattes, of this city, that Gen
eral HasUnfca not only did net steal a
dollar of public money, but also that
liad he been disposed to act dishonora
bly, the arrangements governing the
distribution of the flood relief funds
would have rendered it utterly impossi
ble for him to do so. Not a dollar
passed through his hands; and not a
dollar was paid from any source with
out a written statement aa to Its origin
and destination. Thus ven a mean
man could not have acted meanly In
this case; and there Is no one at Johns
town or among the sufferers of that
awful disaster who will Fay that Daniel
H. Hastings was a mean man during
the agonizing days of rescue and re
construction along the! ruln-llttered
banks of the Conemaugh.
If anybody had believed Mr. O'Con
nor'. reckless libel, the Jury verdict
awarding $3,000 damages would have
een painfully insufficient. As it was,
the sunt Is adequate to constitute a
legal vindication, which was .jail the
governor needed In view of the gratify
ing unanimity with which the O'Connor
lander was repudiated by press and
public from the ftrsit moment following
Its utterance.
' The tariff will be an issue In American
politics Just so long as Deinocrdtts In
capacity attempts to monkey with It.
The Basis of Representation.
At the last meeting of the Republican
National committee a resolution was In
troduced by Henry B. Payne, of Wis
consin, to base the pportlo.r.ment of
delegates to the National convention on
the number of votes cast by the Re
publican party at the preceding presi
dential election. It was contended by
Mr. Payne, as well as by other who
supported the resolution, that the com
mittee, as at present constituted, gives
to delegates from strong Democratic
states an Influence 'and power which
are unfair to the representatives from
. other Btates whose electoral vote is al
ways cast for the Republican nominee.
Ills contention was that the convention
should be composed of delegates who
represent the actual strength of the Re
publican party in the several states,
' tvn-A that this was the only fair basis of
apportionment.
The counter claim was made by the
Southern members that in their section
the full -Republican vote was never per
mitted to appear in the returns, and
that to baie representation on the ac
tual vote counted would be to encour
age the Democrats to suppress the. Re
publican vote yet further. No decision
was reached, at the time; in fact. Sena
tor Quay ha recently shown that the
National committee 1 powerless to de
cide the matter, the only body having
the authority to change the basis of
representation being the National con
vention Itself. But the question is open
to discussion, and should elicit au ex
pression of party sentiment, in order
that next year's convention may not
make a mistake In pa?1ng upon it.
From the Northern point of view
th're does nt apnear to be nvt"h
we!M to th? "ni'.h's n"3unent. It 13
probably a matter of com.'jaratlve In
dUTorflnce to. the Democracy of t'.ie bal-lot-box-stufllng
Rutthern states how
much reprcser.taWou Southern Republi
cans get in the rational conventions of
their party. What the Southern Dom
ocricy wanto is the proper returns on
election day; and these t will have,
though it has to make tb,em to-order.
We cannot see why Southern states
which cist no Republican electoral
votes should holJ the balance of power
In Republican national nominating con
ventions. The adoption of the Payne
resolution would correct a manifest In
justice, und at the same time give
Southern Republicans an Incentive for
polling a large vote ur.J ln.-i.-itliis upon
an honeut count.
Tho turiff will be an Issue In American
politics just so Ions as Democratic in
capacity attempts to monkey with It.
An Interesting Experiment. -
The state of Massachusetts will soon
supply nn instructive experiment in
penology. It hit recently adopted u
law umpoweriig the Judge of a criminal
court to name, In the sentencing of uny
malefactor, minimum a:ul maximum
tej'nw of Imprisonment. When the con
vict shall have served out the minimum
term, his record is to be examined by
the state board of prison- commission
ers, and If f jund satisfactory, the board
may recom.nend the prisoner's release
on parole. If the recommendation be
approved by the governor and his cabi
net council, the prison dour opens niul
the convict becomes a free man, but
only during good behavior. For, if he
afterward violates any of the stringent
conditions of his release, he is remand
ed to prison, to serve out the full period
of his maxlnnfm sentence.
This plan, as the Washington Post
points out, is "an adaptation of the
English ticket of leave. It has the
recommendation of penologists, social
scientists, Jurists nd experienced
legislators. Its advocates urge that
valuable lives may be saved from utter
wreck by giving a young man or woman
who 'has fallen under temptation a
chjtice to try again. They urge that
the Interests of society and those of
penitent criminals lie In the same direc
tion; that the state and the individual
will both be advantaged by giving the
latter an opportunity to repair past
errors. It is admitted that great care
and circumspection will be required to
so enforce the law as to make it a pub
lic benefaction, but its friends are
pledged to use their best endeavors
toward making the new departure a
success," and we are unable to per
ceive why their efforts should not have
happy Issue.
The retributive, or retaliatory, Idea of
justice has been on trial for several
centuries and has uniformly failed.
Under It crime has Increased, both In
quantity and degree. It is time for
civilization to take a new tack; to do
something toward reclaiming the crimi
nal, instead Bimply of abusing him. A3
a start -toward the humane cor.eepitlon
of society's duty toward her unfortu
nate children, the Massachusetts parole
plan appears to us to embody many de
sirable features. It renders possible the
adaptation of penalties to Individual
peculiarities and needs not, perhaps, to
the full extent desired by advanced
penologists, but certainly more effec
tively than In the present lottery-like
system of Indiscriminate punishments.
And, among other obvious merits, it
gives the penitent criminal a chance.
The tariff will bo an Issue In American
polities Just so long as Democratic in
capacity attempts to monkey with it.
To the average Republican there Is
something almost ludicrous In the In
termittent mention of Robert T. Lin
coln's name In connection with possi
ble presidential honors. Even If Mr.
Lincoln, In his own right, had ever
Indicated the possession of presidential
ability, he would still bo unavailable
by reason of his open relations as paid
attorney and lobbyist with several un
popular Chicago corporations. Rut It
would be an Insult to the memory of
Abraham Lincoln to elevate to the posi
tion which he mndo so commanding a
mediocre son who could not sustain
the challenged comparison. Let us have
an end of this silly, this Impossible
booming. ' .
It Is an Interesting circumstance that
the downfall of the Rosebery admlnlf
tratlon in England, presaging as It dues
the return of Lord Salisbury and A. J.
Balfour to power, Is regarded by most
foreign observers as Indicating a vic
tory for International bimetallism.
This will be welcome new to genuine
friends of silver.
Congresi-iinau John Dulzell would be
just as popular as he now is If he would
utilize his undeniable talents in trying
to keep peace In the Republican party
In Pennsylvania, Instead of shouting
prematurely for factional war. Inop
portune belligerency has been the ruin
of more politicians than one.
So far as the executive work of the
approaching campaign Is concerned, as
affected by the Quay-Qllkeson fight, we
suspect the Republican party could be
happy with either, were t'other dear
charmer away.
The Scrantonlaii who wants to gain
new knowledge of the extent, diversifi
cation, growth and plcturesqueness of
his favorite city should secure convey
ance for himself and family over the
new Elmhurst boulevard. The trip at
this erpcclal time- of the year Is literally
a liberal education, not to mention its
beneficial Influence upon the health.
Market reports proclaim a general
and steady Improvement In all forms
of the Iron and steel Industry, and par
ticularly In itructural steel. Of all
slt-r" tif ' ""Iners convalescence, this Is
.. r.i'.A'st. It Is ample cause for w'.de
: proud rejoicing; for It means rjew fac
tories, new stores, new shops and new
homc3.
The olTlcIals of Plttston are to be
commended for refusing to permit a
widely-advertised prize fight to occur
in that city. If this thing keeps up,
pugilism will hereabouts be knocked
completely out, as it should have been
years ago.
Councils. In moving at last toward a
revision of the present antiquated tire
HmitH, Is dolns a duty which ought to
have bei-n djne easily live years ugo.
Mill, l.Uo Is better than never.
Our amiable friend, Sam Hudson, par
ticipated Saturday In the Five O'clock
club's biff reception to Governor Hast
ings. There are yet faint hopes of
Sam's political regeneration.
Of course the iScrantoii contingent
"was conspicuous at Cleveland." Did
beauty In alliance with brains ever fall
to attract admiration?
lie h.i3 not rpeclfloally said so, but
we Infer that Senator Quay's badge of
fealty will not be the forehead-dollar-mark.
The tariff will be nn Irsue In Ameri
can politics Just so long us Democratic
Incapacity attempts to monkey with it.
POLITICAL GOSSIP.
On of the events of the Cleveland
leugue convention was the witty speech cf
Postmaster James H. Hoyt at the big
banquet Thursday nlKht In tho Arcade.
He kept the lu.uco persons pietnt in a con
tinual roar of luUBhter and applause.
This was his Introduction: "In this uni
verse every creature performs some ap
propriate function; every cause has Its
legitimate effect, and everything has Its
proper place. .The viper and the song
bird, the poisonous herb nnd the bluahlng
rose, the dreadful storm and tho shining
calm, nre all essential parts of the com
plex whole. We Unite beings cannot at
tempt with our Inch of line to sound tho
Immeasurable depths of au Infinite lntel
llKence. For all we know, evil Is no less a
pnrt of (he great plan than nood is; death
may be us essential as health. Tennyson
voiced a great truth when he sang:
'Nothing walks with almUss feet.'
I say with reverence; hell Itself may be
an Institution of unspeukuble mercy and
not only the archangel Uubiiel, but Satan,
too, a chosen Instrument. It may fairly
be conceded, then, ulthouah we are unable
to discover It, that there is some good but
Inscrutable reason for the continued ex
istence of the Democratic party."

General K. A. MoAIpin, the new presi
dent of the Natiotiul League of Kept'' 'icuti
clubs was born In New York city June 9,
1SW. He was only a lad of 1.1 when the re
bellion broke out, but tlu. fever took hold
of him and he ran away from home to
light for his country. Ills parents brought
him back once, but he run away uguin,
and was atjaln captured. He enlisted in
the New York National guard In ls"0 and
was rapidly promoted from the ranks to
colonel. Governor Morton recently ap
pointed him adjutant general of his stuff.
General McAlpln was elected president of
the New York Republican league In l&tfO
and Increased the number of Republican
clubs from 2U0 to l.Ouo in four years. A few
years ago he ran for congress In a Demo
cratic city and Increased the Republican
vote by 2,(KK). His home Is in Sing Sing,
N. Y.
II II II
Some Republican journals that should
know bitter are speaking these days
about a Hastings dynasty. There Is no
evidence to prove that the governor has
yet overstepped the proper functions of
his position us the chief executive of the
second greatest state In the Union. What
ever of a "dynasty" he has built up Is
largely the result of his official position,
and Is Inevitable In tho case of a man befit
upon giving the people a clean and honor
able administration.
II II II
When all the speech making was over at
the Cleveland league banquet, the audi
ence yelled far unother speech from Toast
master Hoyt until, to quiet It, he had to
tell a humorous tale of a sleeping car
passenger In a rear-end' collision, who
looked out of his berth when, the first shock
was passed and anxiously Inquired: "Is it
ull over?" To which Inquiry a friend re
plied: "You darned fool, haven't you got
inough?"' Laughter followed the pointed
witticism, and the crowd soon after dis
persed. II l-l II
Tho Pittsburg Dispatch has always been
an anti-Quay paper; but It frankly Inti
mates that If the alleged Hustings-Martin-Muffee
trlumvlrato hope to "beat the old
man" nt Harrlsburg In August, they will
have to settle upon a single mun for boss,
and take his orders Implicitly. The Dis
patch evinces a disposition to discount
some of the gory tales about the horrify
ing ferocity of the rumored uprising
against the senator from Hearer.
II II II
Tho Harrlsburg Patriot's Superior court
slate now stands as follows: Ex-Governor,
Beaver, of Bellefonte; J. Hay Brown, of
Lancuster; Judge; Wlckham.of Beaver; ex
JUdge Iieeder, of Northampton; George B.
Orlady. of Huntingdon; 10. N. Wlllard, of
Laokawanna, and Henry J. McCarthy, of
Philadelphia. The appointments will, bo
announced this week simultaneous with
tho notice of tho governor's approval of
the b'll.
II II II
Many politicians an beginning to won
der whom Governor Hastings will name
as banking commissioner when Judge
Uilkeson resigns; for they argue that Mr.
Qilkeaon, being a candidate for re-election
as state chairman, will not embarrass the
governor or his friends by retaining the
other office, with which political manipu
lation Is so thoroughly Incompatible.
II II II
The WIlUcs-Barre Times declares that
there is a misprint In State Chairman's
Gllkeson's list of dolorates allotted to
Luzerne county. It says he only gives
one In the Fourth district, which Is
entitled to two, making ten lu all for Lu
zerne county. Instead of nine, as the chair
man's call publishes.
II II II
The Hazleton Sentinel Is convinced that
there will be a big fight for national dele
gates in Luzerne. "A man from Scran
ton," It says, "has promteed them to a cer
tain party, but that sort of thing won't
hold out." Who Is the man? and what is his
deal? ...
II II II
Fred W. Fleltz Is quoted In the Cleveland
World as wanting to take Cleveland home
with him. This must have been a mis
take. The World man probably got Fleltz
confused with one of the delegates from
Wllkes-Barre.
II II II
Senator Quay made formal announce
ment Saturday evening of his candidacy
for chairman of the Republican state
committee. The announcement was made
as follows: "I am a candidate for chair
man of the Republican state committee,
and If I have any friends In Pennsylvania
I ask them to stand by me at tola time. I
will mention the reasons on the floor of
the convention.'"
A good deal of capital is being made out
of tho fact that although Senator Quay
and Governor Hastings on Saturday oc
cupied rooms in the same Philadelphia ho
tel, neither saw or communicated with the
other.
Saturdry's primaries In Clearfield county
showed a close vote between the Quay and
anti-Quay forces, but Senator McQuown,
who had charge of the Quay side, claims a
victory.
II II ll
The suggestion of th Wllkos-Barrs
Record that Luzerne cuts so small a figure
In state politics beoause her citizens are so
modest Is enough to elicit th loud ha! hat
If the state chairmanship light keeps up
until the day of the convention, Harrls
burg will not be big enough to contain the
onlooklng multitudes.
The Norrlstown Herald, Pittsburg Times,
F.rle Dispatch and Doylestown Republi
can have landed on th anti-Quay side of
the fence.
Friends of John ' !." Birmingham, of
Wllkes-Barre, profess to feel confident of

With ailkesott In the chair, Senator
Quuy might have difllculty In getting the

Ahrcast of tho Times,
Scranton Free Preis: "The Tribune on
Saturday celebrated the completion of the
fourth year of Its existence by Issuing a
souvenir contulhlng the portraits of the
elt:hty-one persons who contribute In va
rious ways to the publication of the paper,
together with a presentment of the front
i levatlon of the new Tribune building on
Washington avenue, which It expects to
occupy within two months. The pleasing
announcement Is also made that the year
Just past has been a prosperous one for
The Tribune. Our young and vigorous
contemporary is certainly giving the peo
ple of thlc section a nrst-cluss newspuper.
It Is sparing no trouble or expense in fur
nishing Its readers with the latest Hews
und tho best literary matter, and Its suc
cess proves that the people know a good
thing when they see It, Editorially and lo
cally It Is abreast of the times and Its an
nouncement of the Introduction of new
feutures indicates that it has by no means
reached the limit of Its enterprise."
litis a Great Future.
Scranton Times: "Our contemporary,
The Tribune, on Saturday morning pre
sented to each of its readers a handsomo
souvenir in honor of the fourth anniver
sary of the paper, which occurred Thurs
day. The souvenir was in the shupe of nn
engraving containing pictures of the
eighty odd employes of that paper, and a
cut of the new building which is soon to
be occupied. Throughout the state The
Tribune Is recognized as one of the lead
ing papers of Pennsylvania. In the past
year it has made great strides In the
inarch of Improvement, and now ranks
second to none. It Is complete In every de
tail, being u journal of today und not of
yesterday. Th- Tribune has a great fu
ture before It.

Scranton Truth: "The Scranton Trib

served prosperity under the able editorial
direction of Llvy S. Richard, celebrates
Its fourth anniversary today with a num
ber of unusual Interest, accompanied by
an artistic souvenir consisting of a pic
tured group of Its employes. The Tribune
Is a sturdy four-year-old. and the Truth
takes pleasure in wishing It continued suc
cess In the field of progressive Pennsyl
vania Journalism.''
They Know Their nnslness.
Wllkes-Barre Times: "With Saturday's
issue the Scrantdn Tribune sent out a
handsome souvenir in the shape of por
traits, printed In half tone, of the em
ployes of the paper, eighty-one In number.
As the editor of the paper remarks, the
'aggregate beauty' of the galaxy is not
vouched for, but that they are a body of
hustlers and acute business and newspaper
men is evinced by the growth and popu
larity of The Tribune."
Luzorno's Representation.
Wllkes-Barre Leader: "The Scranton
Tribune on Sutiirday issued a supplement
containing the pictures of the men and
women who make the paper. WilkeB
Barre Is represented In the group of
handsome men and charming women by
Colonel Laclar and Miss Sadie Kaiser, the
latter representing that paper In Lon
don." THE BOSTON MAID.
She was a Boston maid of high degree,
With eyes that shone like Incandescent
lights.
And Just such pouting Hps, as seems to me,
The kiss Invites.
I met her on the Common's grassy sod.
Near where the fountain plays In squlr
tive mood:
She stood reflecting, while a passive wad
Of gum she chewed,
"It does one good to sea this spot,'" said I,
"When weary of the city's hum and
buzz,"
She ceased her waxlo pastime to reply:
"That's what It does."
"Tills sylvan spot," then softly I averred,
"The foot of man seems almost to de
file," Her voice came sweet as notes of any
bird:'
"Well, I should smile 1"
t
"The balmy breezes whispering overhead
With such enchanting softness kiss the
brow."
In tones of languid melody she said)
"You're shoutln' now!"
"And have you noticed, fair one, how each
bird
Seems here to choose Its sweetest vocal
gem?'"
I dwelt lh rapture on her every word:
"I'm onto to them."
"And how the leaves Ilk moving emeralds
seem,
When In response to the sweet breeze
they shake!"
Her voice came soft as echoes from a
dream:
"They take the cake."
"Dost wander often to a sylvan spot,
The dreamy sense of quietude to seek?"
Soft purled her answer: "Well, I take a
trot
Bout once a week."
In converse sweet I lingered by her side,
And felt that there forever I could dwell.
And as I left her, after me she cited:
"So long, old fel!"
I was not captured by her voice so rich,
Nor by her lovely face, so sweet and
young, ,
But by the sweet dexterity with which

A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT.

Professor C. Coles, the Kingston astron
omer, says: "The most beautiful sight of
the whole month will be the conjunction
of the moon and Venus, Tuesday evening,
June 20. The moon will be only two days
old at the time, and Venus will hang like
a great diamond to the south side of tin
beautiful crescent. Venus Is the brightest
'star' In the heavens. It makes its ap
pearance In the western horizon soon after
sunset. It can be seen only in the early
evening. Watch It, if the weather !s
