Judge Wlllard.
In saluting northeastern Pennsylva
nia's representative upon the bench of
the newly-created Superior court. The
Tribune feels that It ought also to
congratulate, first Governor Hastings,
anil through him the people of the
state, upon the excellence of the ap
pointment. It is not alore? In geogra
phical recognition .that this selection la
strong, nor yet in the pleasure which
the selection will afford to various
county bar associations. Individual Jur
ists and statesmen and personal friends;
Its chiefe3t strength will, we believe, be
found in the large fund of ready com
mon sense and practical business sa
gacity as well as varied knowledge of
the law which Mr. Wlllard will bring to
his new position.
The tendency among Jurists Is to dif
ferential? Into two distinct classes.
One class Is made up of bookish men
who. through long adoration of the va
rious forms of the law partly lose their
sympathy with its underlying spirit.
To these men a. precedent Is of more
. worth than a principle and has corre
sponding supremacy in their decisions.
The other class comprises live and sen
tient men of affairs, who move freely
among their fellow men and learn to
rely somewhat upon their own sharp
ened powers of discernment as well as
upon dusty and musty publications of
decades agone in reaching conclusions
affecting private) or public rights. It Is
Mr. Wlllard'g privilege to belong to this
latter claag, and we believe time will
how that the Superior court bench Is
to be congratulated upon the fact.
If to unfortunate that in the gover
nor's Inevitable narrowing of the field
of candidates to th seven provided tic
t in the law creating the new tribunal
so courteous a gentleman and so justly
eminent and accomplished a Jurist as
(he distinguished president Judge of
Luzerne county should have had to be
passed by, not as unlit, but as one who
may properly look to the future for
his recompense. The chivalrous con
duct of Judge Rice throughout the re
cent pleasant rivalry of neighboring
candidates, -while no more than In
keeping with his uniform demeanor,
has, we make bold to say, won him
many new frlcndH and cumulated the
admiration of those already friendly.
Much younger t hun Mr. Wlllard, Judge
Rice can afford to wait for the recogni
tion which his worth will certainly yet
exact from the Republicans of the com
monwealth. Bimetallism In Europe.
There Is, In our judgment, compara
tively little reliance to be placed In
the theory that Lord Salisbury's ac
cession to the premiership of England
signifies a great victory for interna
tional bimetallism. It may have some
" effect In) stimulating the, blmetallist
sentiment ore the continent; but the
cause which Is Blowly forcing the debt
Utrdened, non-producing nations of the
old wqrld to abandon gold monometall
ism lies deeper than' a transient par
liamentary fluctuation at Westminster.
Two classes In England want Oliver
restored to a legal parity with gold.
One Is the commercial class, which has
dealings with India, where the demone
tization' of silver Is already driving the
native inhabitants Into bankruptcy and
thereby ruining trade. The other is the
laboring class, , who. In Knglaiid as In
America are beginning to perceive that,
as producers, they, are the flint to suf
fer under a single appreciating stand
ard which gives non-produotlve! capi
tal the whip-hand over both men and
markets. Against these two forces are
arrayed the entire titled and moneyed
aristocracy, and likewise that vast
army of retired .Englishmen whose
means are invested in gold bonds or
annuities. For many decades yet this
conservative, stubborn, slow-going cle
ment will surely dominate English leg
islation; and It Is as self-evident as an
axiom that ' It will never consent to
take the initiative In an international
bimetallic conference.
The cause of silver In Europe depends
for Its success not on Lord Salisbury,
or any lord, but upon the Inevitable
spread of democratic Ideas, ut Intelli
gence, and consequently of potvar
among the artisan classes. This spread
Is characterized by some ebullition and
turmoil; at times It is punctuated wit li
rioting und bloodshed; und very much
of It Is unfortunately tdeiitlilcd lit the
popular mind, with socialism and con
fiscation: but It 14 for all that a for
ward movement, invsiuiut with tic
promise of permanent K"od. TlnmiKh
sheer poverty among the under masses
Europe must sooner or later return to
bimetallism; and American.), IT they
are wise In tlu'lr leglxlutive treatment
or the problem, can materially hasten
the day.
England's New Premier.
Site retur.i of Lord Salisbury to the
KiiKllsh premiership Is an event of pos
sible Importance to this country, ii well
as of direct concern to the people of
England. If Senator Morgan! probably
the foremost of our American diplomat
ics. Is corrtJt In his Judgment, thu new
premier "utlleves that Urt.it HrUaln al
ready has a vast territory, and thut her
best Interest lit;- in looking well after
what she hus In hand. Instead of reach
ing ou; for more. I: hai been noticeable
throughout Ituselu-ry' administration
that he has reached out constantly and
sought further acquisition. lie has gone
into (Madagascar, where the English
have come Into conflict with th I, clich.
An urbitrary tone has been assumed as
to Venezutla. I'nder Hosebety the Brit
ish, have occupied CorlJito, and In the
ultimatum which was given to Nica
ragua, It remains to be determined what
course Ureal Britain will take concern
ing Chief Clarence, of the Mosquito
territory. The same spirit of accession
was noticeable under Itosebery as to
Hawaii, where an effort was made to
secure a cable landing on Xeckar island.
Hut the general policy nf Salisbury Is
not of that seizure. It tend.) more to
the development of what Great Britain
already possesses, and to that extent,"
the senator thinks, "it may have a
favorable Influence upon pending ques
tions." To be sure, this would not Interest us
so directly If we could have at the head
of our department of state a man' suf
ficiently imbued with the Amr-rican
spirit to resist unwarranted encroach
ments by Great Britain In directions
prejudicial to American interests. Lord
Ro.-ebery, In pursuing the policy of ex
pansion with which his name Is Identi
fied, simply took advantage of oppor
tunities. The fault was with Secretary
Gresham in giving him such opportuni
ties In the western hemisphere. The
Cleveland administration, by assuming
a firm attitude of Insistence upon the
strict observance of the Monroe doctrine
In plrlt and in letter, could have pro
tected American Interests irrespective
of who was premier of England. It is
really a humiliation for the United
States that one of It leading states
men f hould have to express dependence
upon the liberality of Lord Salisbury
for a proper observance of American
rights rather than' upon the officials In
his own country charged with their pro
tection. Hut seeing that this Is the situation,
With no prospect of a change this side
of March 4, 1817, we have no option but
to feel grateful ifor the English fluctua
tion which replaces Hosebery with Sal
isbury. There la probably no better contented
man In Northeastern Pennsylvania to
day than Representative O'Mallcy,
Not only did he get his various bills
safely through the executive's hands
and establish at Harrlslmrg a record
for successful legislative work rarely
equalled by a first-termer, but he also
has the satisfaction of addressing liis
warmest pol'Meal and personal friend,
Mr. Wlllard, by the title which he was
first to s.ugg?Et us a. suitable one to
precede Mr. Wlllard'n name. Congrat
ulations are certainly In order for
Charles P. O'Mulley.
A new era is marked in the current
discussion of the financial problem by
the appearance of a book written on the
Bellamy "(Looking Backward" plan-. It
concedes the victory of free sliver at
the polls and then pictures the condition
of things a few years aifterward. It Is
surprising that 'this Ingenious method of
argument was not sooner utilized.
It la gravely asserted, and what Is
more, proved by a Washington life In
surance agent that the man who sacri
fices the ease and freedom of private life
to become president of the United States
thereby shortens his life three years.
This fact Is mentioned In time to take
effect before next year's conventions.
Judge Brown's decision, in the Noyes
Dana libel suit, that the editor of a
newspaper has ilegal rights equul! to
those enjoyed by other citizens. Is a
fortunate and timely vindication of
American principles. Now let the orig
inal case go to trial strictly on Its
merits. -
Congressman Belden's recipe for a Re
publican victory In New York state next
fall might apply also to Per.nnsylvanla.
He tersely says: "The party that keeps
III touch with the people and Is' not
afraid to do what the people want, will
haVe no difficulty at the polls." , ,,.
The public has doubtless noticed with
entlments of gratitude that during the
past few weeks the warring press asso
ciations have desisted from calling each
other names long enough to collect some
news. This is an admirable' practice
during midsummer; In fact, during the
entire year.
Judge Rice, of Luzerne, will no doubt
be a Judge of the Pennsylvania Supreme
court one of these fine days. He has
merits which' well deserve recognition
and promotion, and which, we are sure,
will, in due season, command both.
The good nature that prevailed during
the recent conference of Governor Hast
ings with Senator Quay Is an excellent
pattern for talkative partisans through
out the state to Imitate. Violent words
butter few pursnlin.
Four months ugo Republican politics
in Pennsylvania looked stale to the
lioliK of flatness. The changed condi
tions today show what modern progress
can do when It humps Itself.
Close obstrvers of literary style must
have tio'tlccd t lie superior finish of this
year's crop of journalistic predictions of
Senator Quay's d, feat. Hut, then, prac
tice makes perfect, they nay.
The Democratic Wilkes-Barre Leader
is so tickled ut the prevalent revival
cf business that It actually forgets
which party caused the panic.
I: I- poKJlble that Lord Hosebery was
a tilile too Versatile. The Jack of all
trades seldom lasts long ut uny one.
. - .
Iioes Pittston's resolution to suppress
prize fighting signify an end to Marquis
o' Queensbury coniicllnianlc debates?
Lord Uosebery Is probably In a posi
tion now to appreciate the sadness of
"what might have been."
He Is "Judge Wlllard" at last, but
with no thanks to the Scrantoti Repub-
roLiTii.u feossir.
The Chicago Times-Herald has the fol
lowing Information relative to the Kepub
llcan situation In this state: "The ant!
(Juuy combine hus for Its chiefs the fol
lowing men: Governor 1. H. Hustings,
National Committeeman David Martin,
the undisputed Republican leader of Phila
delphia; Mayor Charles F. Warwick, of
Philadelphia: Attorney General McCor
mlik, Kepubllcuti State Chairman H. F.
Gllkeson. C. L. Muifee. the leader In west
ern Pennsylvania. Behind these men are
scores of lesser political luminaries. It is
absolutely certain that Martin controls the
Philadelphia organization, Magee holds
Allegheny, and Governor Hastings and
his cabinet can manage a lurge part of the
Interior of the state. Governor Hastings,
who Is against Quay, will next month ap
point the Superior court Judges, who will
hold to the end of the year. Jf the state
convention shall renominate the Judges
thut the governor appoints they will sure
ly defeat yuay for state chuirmuu. They
will vote for the present chairman, B. F.
GMkeson. Tills right has behind it the con
trol of the Pennsylvania delegation to the
national convention. The anti-Quay com
bine will support Governor Hastings for
president. Quay is for McKlnley. If the
Hastings combine can keep control of the
state committee us they now have It,
Hastings will get at least 4u of the 63 na
tional delegates. Quay wants to be state
chairman so that he can control the ma
chine and head the delegation for McKln
ley. There seems to be no doubt at this
time that Quay is beaten." "At this time"
does not necessarily mean Aug. at. There
Is big room for urgmneiit as to whether or
not guuy Is beaten now.
II II II
"Jack"' Itoblnson, the Delaware con
gressman whose six home de legates are
for Quuy. thus unburdens himself: "I am
for Hnator Quay, If he wants to be chair
man of the stato central committee. 1 am
not for him because I approve of every
thing he has done In politics of laic, but
because I think he Is the most competent
man for the place on the eve of a presi
dential election. Moreover. I nm opposed
to Colonel Gllkeson. Last yeur, when I
was running for u state, ofllce, Gllkeson
us-il the state committee 0 gainst me, and
allowed h's subordinates In '.lie commit
tee to electioneer against me. Hq has no
qualifications for the place whatsoever.
There Is still another verv strong oV
ection in my mind. Last full, Just after
electing the Btate ticket, which ticket
would have been elected by over IKO.iXiO ma
jority if we had had no state chairman
and no headquarters, Gllkeson uti.i ttd out
to Crab the best office ut llnrrlsburg, and
succeeded In landing himself In Hastings'
administration, after getting the salary
Increased, us head nf the banking depart
ment. This exhibition of the state chair
man making a grab the first thli-.K for one
of the best offices on the hill was alto
gether subversive of discipline, and a bad
example to the rank and file. I think the
state chairman should hold no ofllce, and
(specially he should hold no office at Har
rlsbuig under the stute administration.
Fqr, If I tic stale udtnlnlstrallon takes up
one' of Its appointees as chairman, anil
presses Ills selection. It would turn the
statu administration into one huge ma
chine, which would be more odious than
anything we huve had In the past."
II II II
The Wilkes-Barre Leuder Indorses The
Tribune's suggestion that if Luzerne
county Ki pulilli uns want a popular, amia
ble and far-sighted leader, they should se
lect. Editor J. C. Powell, of the Record.
The Leader says: "Why not? What Is
the reason why this thing should 'not be?
The Hon. Joseph C. Is a Republican all
the way through. He Is ut the head of the
leading Republican newspaper. He Is not
so sly, perhaps, us Lew Dart, as generally
jolly as Charley Keck, or as superbly elo
quent In prouunciomento as Bob Itobln
son, but he is undevlatlngly true to his
colors. Besides, h Is at work every day,
year In and year out, scheming for vic
tory formulating the lines, disciplining
Die forces, getting ready for the harvest.
The Leader, though perhaps not entitled
to any specific voice in the matter, never
theless ventures to second the motion of
its Beranton contemporary."
II II II
Editor Stephen W. Holies writes to his
paper, the Erie Dispatch, concerning the
Cleveland league convention: "Major
Warren made a most pleasing Impression
on the delegutes. At the York meeting of
the Pennsylvania league he ought to be re
flected, and then Pennsylvania should
muke a fli;ht for tho nutlonul presidency.
There are reason why McAlpIn will not
win again, and his decisions on parlia
mentary tin. constitutional questions for
the half hour he was In the chair Friday,
lost him acres of support In 'DO. Secretary
Fleltz, nf Pennsylvania, Is also an of
ficial whose eurnestness is equal to his
guiltlessness. Ho Is as popular as a man
could be and bora his honors without any
visible Increase In the size of the cap he
wore with such zeal."
II II II .
The Philadelphia Times thinks that
"Governor .Hastings' assumption of tile
leadership; of the Martln-Porter-Magt
people has undoubtedly Intensified th bit
terness of the struggle, and It has had the
effect of stimulating the efforts of the
workers of both factions to the utmost, It
Is now a foregone conclusion that every
foot of ground In every county of the
stats and every eleotion dlstrlot and divi
sion will be stubbornly contested and the
Issue fought out to the bitter end. With
the governor heading on faction and
United States Senator Quay th other, the
contest promlsos to be on In which no
quarter will be asked or given."
It la said, of course by Quay men, that
never before in the history of the state has
the chief executive of the commonwealth
taken such a prominent part in politics
and proved himself so much of a factional
adherent or leader as to take part on on
side or the other n a factional fight for
supremacy. On th other hand It Is ar
gued by the friends of Colonel Quay that
there is nothing unusual In a United
State senator leading a seotlon of his
party. It has been done In other stales aa
well as in Pennsylvania before and there
fore they justify Senator Quay's course In
coming out as an aspirant, for state com
mittee chairman.
it Is freely said 'by" the Philadelphia
paper that the anti-Quay programme of
the Hastlngs-Martln-Magee triumvirate,
including the governor's dramatic entry
into the Held as the personal opponent nf
the Beaver senator, was planned In detail
lust Sunday afternoon, ut Torreidale, a
suburb of Philadelphia. It Is to be hoped
that no Sunday observance league will
haul theso gentlemen Into court.
II II II
Mayor Warwick, of Philadelphia, suyo:
"I am the social and polltlcui friend of
Governor Hastings. I consider him III"
logical polltlcui leader of the Republican
party In the stute; I am for whatever po
litical action he muy tuke. I um for him
for chairman of the state convention, for
which 1 huve strongly urged him to stand
as a candidate."
II II II
Congressman Jack Robinson, having
been Informed that State Chairman Gllke
son expended Sluo.UOO last fall for campaign
expenses, wants an accounting. He bases
this demand upon the fact that he Is a
member of the state committee and Is,
therefore, entitled to know.
II I'l II
Clearfield county's delegates to the state
convention will be Howard Hartswtck,
Thomas lilyllie and W. J. Reed. Harts
wick Is classed as a Hastings man, Blythe
neutral and Peed is for Quay.

Tile Bradford county Republican comes
out against Quay, and the Wllllamsport
Gazette and Bulletin, published at Attor
ney Generul Mccormick's home, is on the
fence.

In the Chicago Times-Herald Major
Moses P. Handy speuks of Mr. Magee as
being " as able as Quay and more honest."
Is this a Joke?

two delegates from Hurrlsburg. ,
VIEWS OF THE STATE PRESS.
Ono Deinocratie View.
Wllkes-Burre News-Dealer: "From all
accounts B. Frank Gllkeson, the chairman
of the Republican state committee, is un
Ingrute. He was never heard of outside
of Bucks county until Senator Quay pro
cured him u good place in the treasury de
partment under President Harrison,
pushed him to the front In the state or.
ganlzutlon and finally made him chairman
of the stute committee. When Governor
Hastings organized his administration
Gllkeson was assigned to the desirable
post of banking commissioner solely be
cause of his relation to Quay. Now that
he Is comfortably fixed, Gllkeson Is pre
paring to desert his political benefactor.
This Is a line exhibition of gratitude!"
Is for Gllkeson.
Norristown Herald: "This is not so
much a question of Quay or anti-Quay, us
a matter of right and Justice. There is no
reason why the present management of
the party in the state should be humil
iated and overthrown. To defeat Chair
man Gllkeson for re-election would be
like disgracing a general when he had just
achieved an unprecedented victory. Mr.
Gllkeson has done nothing to deserve this,
but everything to deserve a re-election. '
Regards It I ndlcnlfied.
Hurrlsburg Patriot: "It is amazing that
a governor appreciating and impressed
with the responsibility of his high position
should within six months of taking ofllce
formally announce himself as a candidate
for the chulrmanship of a convention ex
clusively partisan and set himself at the
front in a political conflict wholly personal
and selfish, as General Hastings has Just
done."
Thinks th People) Don't Care.
Erie Dispatch: "If It is a question of a
change of party managers, then there Is
no choice. One Is as good as another.
What is a petty state chairmanship that
so much war must be made and so many
tom-toms be beaten? What does the rank
and file care about It? Not a picayune."
. Doing a Gross Wrong.
Easton Free Press: "The Republican
party of Pennsylvania has been singularly
harmonious for the past five years, and
those who are responsible for bringing un
certainty and division In Its runks at this
time are doing a gross wrong."
