capacity attempts to monkey with it.
The Superior Court.
By his sudden appointment of Judge
Charles E. Rice to the Superior court
Judgeship declined by J. Hay Brown, of
(Lancaster, Governor Hastings has com
pleted the selection of a court of emi
nent character and ability. It Is strong
personally, strong politically, and espe
cially strong in me qualities that make
a fatlsfactory tribunal.
The selection of Judge Rice as a com
panion with Mr. Wlllard In the repre
sentation which this section demanded
an its right will be doubly gratifying In
view both of his signal fitness and like
wise of his courtesy and cor.-!derat!an
during the preliminary discussion of
then rival candidacies. It Is pleasant
for the friends of Mr. Willard to recall
that during a campaign of some serious
ness they not only uttered no word cal
culated to reflect upon the candidacy of
Judge Rice, but that they Invariably
spokeof that candidate In terms of warm
esteem for the gentleman In whose be
half It was being waged. Thu'j the suc
cess of both aspirants, while coming in
the nature of an agreeable surprise,
leaves no remembrance of friction, and
enables each to meet In the performance
of lila new duties upon terms of the ut
most cordiality.
In point of location and of fitne'-rs the
new court will organize with every as
surance of public respect; and w'll un
questionably reflect great credit upon
the executive to whom it owes its ap
pointment. An Excellent Exhibit.
City Controller Wldmayer's report of
the city's financial condition for lMrl
makes an excellent showing, consldpr-Jng-that
it covers a period of marked
Oppression in business, and consequent
ly of diminished municipal revenuea.
TVIth JC4.0S5.07 cash In the general sink
ing fund, $54,342.45 In the Interest and
sinking fund, and a net bonded Indebt
edness of only S674.1C2.C2 'it can well be
asked whether any other city In the
countryof parallel conditions' as Te
gards age and population can make an
equally satisfactory exhibit.
It is to be remembered In the case of
Bcranton that a vast deal of expensive
Improvement has been crowded Into
brief limits of time; that -the city's
large area and scattered population
tinva necessitated larze per -capita ex
penditures for lights, severs and pav
lngf that the grading expenses have
necessarily been heavy and that our
rapid growth has required councils to

Keform Is yet possible In the direction
of uniformity of assessments, and In
the keeping of a stricter watch upon
damages to private property as the re
sult of carelesa grading. But upon the
whole the controllers report is ex
tremely gratifying, and reflects much
credit. upon the present municipal ad
ministration, r ,
The newer Bcranton looks ahead with
pride .In the prospect and hopefulness In
every feature. : :' '
The Sheridan flonument.
The excursion to Lake Ariel on July
4, under the auspices of the Sheridan
Monument association, fortunately
gives every promise of being a complete
success. So far as the arrangements
are concerned, certainly nothing has
been neglected which could In any way
contribute to the pleasure and comfort
of those who attend; and it Is safe to
predict that the excursion will com
mand the patronage which Its patriotic
purpose deserves.
Scranton has only recently awakened
to Its duty In the matler of erecting
commemorative monuments to the na
tion's Illustrious dead. There Is much
yet to be done In this direction before
the city can aspire to true metropoli
tan greatness or feel that It has con
tributed as It should to the eriu'ntlon
of the rising generation. And certainly
no shflft could be more opportune than
one to the hrnve, gallant and Impulsive
herb of Winchester, who will bo
throughout the ages the bf-au ideal sol
dier of the great rebellion.
Fatrlotic Scrantonluns, whether they
attend tho proposed excursion or not,
should be glaJ, by merely buying
tickets, to help along so admirable a
project as the contemplated monument
In memory of Philip If. Sheridan.
Death of Quay County.
The arguments lr ' ui:.l npralnst
Quay county were pretty evenly divid
ed. If It had btcn demonstrated to a
certainty that the creation of the pro
posed part would have had a tendency
to secure better l.ioal government, and
especially a more Flrlnge-nt enforce
ment of the crimlr.il law. now so often
Ignored, the dinners arc that the meas
ure would have received executive up
pr.)val. fn th? other hi'.n.l, a clear majority of
the off total property-owners. men
whi.se money nnd btalr. have given to
the territory In ci'.ie.-'lon Its pnsent
prosperity by the development of Its
miter! i! rt sources, npre:r.vd before the
governor In an attitude of hostility to
the bill. Their views de?:rved con
sideration especially If their r?lres.'n
tntlons be correct that the movement
In behalf of the new county was large
ly political in Its Insplrailcn, and not
representative of the real sentiments of
the mus'es of the people.
Looking o'a. at thl distance, we have
been Inclined to favor the new county
chleMy in the hope that Its creation
would decrease crime in the Halcton
region and thereby rcnuve one of the
eyesores of the commonwealth. Hut
there Is no reason why, even under the
old system, the better element In Lu
zerne county could not. If It chose to
do so, secure surh nn administration of
law and order a would eliminate much
of the odium at prest-nt attaching to the
region In question.
The fate of this bill probably settles
for all time the question of a dismem
berment of Lackawanna.
The Garb Bill Signed.
From the standpoint of expediency, It
Is probable that Governor Hastings
would have been justified In vetoing
the religious garb bill, upon the ground
that the danger at which It was aimed
ceased to exist the moment it was
generally recognized. There Is no se
rious difference of opinion in any quar
ter as to the propriety of keeping re
ligious controverslc-s out of the free
public schools.
But lest his failure to approve the
measure might be construed as equiv
alent to executive Indifference on the
vital subject of non-sectarian public
school Instruction, the governor has
signed It, leaving to the courts the ques
tion of Its constitutionality. We can
commend this action without In the
lfrast Indorsing the narrow Influences
chiefly prominent In the present war
fare on the Catholic faith. The bill Is
general In its character; touches Pro
testants as well as Catholics; and, as a
law, will be called Into requisition only
where unwise persons seek to precipi
tate a controversy as to creeds.
We b-lleve that fanatics, while noisy,
are fw In this state. The great mays
of citizens are actuated by no desire to
abridge the liberty of conscience or of
worship of any class, race or sect.
There Is, among true Americans, no de
sire to hurl stones at parsons of differ
ent religious affiliations. All that
Intelligent person! hav.j ever sought
to put Into law upon the subject Is that
fre schools of the commonwealth,
while conserving public morals, may
not b used as mechanisms for the pro
pi gatlon of any special sect or creed.
It seems to us that to this aim there
can be no wise objection.
Relief for tho Unemployed.
Dispatches from Kngllsdi, Ind., briefly
outllna a novel plan for affording em
ployment to Idle men. It Involves the
formation of a building and loan asso
ciation on new lines, the shares to be
paid for In labor. Certain philanthro
pic mon of wealth In English have con
tributed land and materials to the as
sociation, In exchange for shares; and
all Surplus labor Is now ut work build
ing new houses.
It Is explained that the first house,
when flnlshod, will be rented. The rent
will be applied to lounn among the
members, or for the purchase of new
material, as the management shall
deem proper. Theze managers or offi
cers are to be elected for one year and
be chosen by the charter members for
the first term, each member having
one vote. One feature of the Bcheme Is
that any member who rents from the
association shall receive a warranty
deed of the property as soon as he has
paid In rent what the house coats, and
not more than one-half the rent shall
be paid in stock certificates until the
corporation can show assets, equal to
$100,000:. .
All ui this, of course, Is simply co
operation on a small scale. But It
seems to be entirely feasible, and ought
In many places to afford a welcome so
lution to the problem of how to utilize
the Unemplayed labor, recently forced
out of work by Democratic maladmin
istration. - i
It was a happy thought which induced
Governor Hastings to name as one of
the judges of the new Superbr court his
distinguished neighbor and former part
ner, ex-Governor Beaver. Among all
the men mentioned for a place upon this
bench, General Beaver Is probably the
one whose appointment will be received
by the greatest number of citizens In- all
portions of the commonwealth with per
sonal satisfaction and pleasure. Brave
In war, manly In public life and learned
In ti e law, he will make an almost ideal
member of a court second only to the
commonwealth"! supreme tribunal.
Ex-Senator riatt exhibits commend
able caution. Finding that the- people
of Oneida coun ty would not tolerate an
other term of Senator Coggeshall, who
at Albany last session defeated th
Gotham reform bills, Mr. Piatt now
promptly Jutns In their Indignation. It
slightly suggests Satan rebuking sin,
but It Is Indisputably clever politics.
The West Chester Republican, which
lately Introduced Mergenthaler lino
type machines into Its composing room,
has now added n tine perfecting press to
its equipment; und Is prepured tnechun
Ically us well an from a brains point
of view, to give the people of Chester
county a magnificent bargain for their
money.
The rejuvenated San Francisco Call
has demonstrated Its enterprise and
discernment by securing the complete
news service of the 1'nlted Press,
which Is the best ."ervlce now obtain
able. The Cull will now be the best
newspaper printed west of the Itocky
Mountains, aud that Is saying a good
deal.
Ki presentatlve Cannon, of Illinois,
l-elhn-es that "ItepuWicuns if they will
lie prudent and discreet In the selec
tion of a candidate nnd the conduct of
affairs between now and election, may
reasonably expect to elect the next
president." This, we should say,. Is a
tolerably safe prediction.
The Philadelphia Kecord, for pur
poses of Its own, continues lustily to
proclaim the Iniquitous character of
the lute lamented Sherman silver pur
chase act; but In Its own heart It must
Know thut the outcry uRalnst that
harmless! act was one of the big bunco
sanies of history.
It will, we think, be generally admit
ted that Fighting Jack Robinson's little
shot at Chairman Gilkeson was some
thing of a boomerang. If there is to
be a light, let It be one In the open, with
guerilla tactics barred.
The Chicago Times-Herald has begun
a praiseworthy fight against the pe
culiar brand of mucilage that the gov
ernment Is putting on Its postage
stamps. We hope It will stick to It un
til the opposition Is thoroughly licked.
Ulchard Croker, tack from London
and quizzed by the New York reporters,
will talk about everything except poli
tics. The honorable Richard is setting
an excellent example.
Democracy's little trick of trying to
sneak away from the consequences of
Its tariff tinkering was cute and all
that; but, messieurs, it will not work.
Scran ton today is a city of from 110,000
to 125,000 Inhabitants; but the Suran
ton of 1900 will have close to a quarter
of a million. It Is In the air.
The Cleveland World classes Scran
ton with such towns us Wllkes-Barre
and Johnetown. The World should
come hither and be educated.
Our Wllkes-Barre friends are respect
full Informed that the Scranton direc
tory census Is not a bit puffed up over
the size of the town.
The chances are that when Senator
Cameron takes a hand In the present
scrap. It will be on a gold basis.
Luzerne and Lackawanna are now
clearly due to fall Into each other's
urrns.
POLITICAL GOSSIP.
According to tho Philadelphia Evening
Bulletin, the opinion Is gaining ground In
Ptiilailfphla 'hat there will ha some sort of
a truce reached or bargain struck that
will prevent fl. bitter, llnul clash of arms
txwein tho warring Bepubllcan factions.
Jt Is said tlmt certain well-known Influen
tial Kcpublli-ans, who are not specially al
lied with either faction, are endeavoring to
restore peace and that both Governor
Hastings and Senator Quay huve been ap
proached lit this connection. Their argu
ment Is that It would be the worst kind of
politics, ho far as Pennsylvania Kepub
licanlsm is concerned, ta perpetuute a con
flict thut would Inevitably result in on al
most lireni'tdluble split In the party. In
national affairs Senator yuny'H services
have won the admiration and approval of
the party in his Htute, und those citizens
who wish to sne the warring elements
reconciled believe that the Republicans of
Pennsylvania should not now be deprived
of his co-operation and assistance In mat
ter that are of vltul Importance to the
varied Interests of the state. Gossip of
this character has gone so fur us to sug
gest a basis of harmony. It Is believed by
tho would-be peacemakers that Quay and
Hastings could be brought together on a
mutually advantageous principle. As a
Xirenidentlsl candidate Senator Quay
would be more valuable to the governor
than any other man or combination of men
In Pennsylvania. Should Hastings secure
Quay's co-operation and support for the
presidency, he could depend upon It. Such
backing would be calculated to be of a
more lusting character than that of a com
bination inadn up of various elements
whoso Interests are not at all Identical.
Whether these peuce rumors are fictitious
or not remains to be seen. A significant
feature about them Is that In the event of
such an agreement certain politicians in
Philadelphia and Pittsburg who have as
sumed a purtloulurly hostile attitude to
Senator Quay would not be a party to It.
Friends of Messrs. Martin and Porter do
not take any stock In this sort of talk.
Senator Porter disposes of It with the re
mark: "I do not think a compromise Is
possible."
il II II '
The Easton Free Press, which Is believed
to voice the political sentiments of the
Keeders, thinks the whole present political
tempest "appears to have Its cause In the
determination of one man to ascertain at
this time whether he Is absolute or not In
the Republican party, Senator
Quay Is not correctly Informed of the In
tention and temper of the Republican
party of the state or of the purpose of
Governor Hastings. There never was a
time during the psst few months when
there was an attempt to antagonise the
senator or dispute with him his leader
ship. All thoughts to the contrary were
born of untruthful Information and foolish
advice of some of the senator's present
followers. There is not, and never has
been, any warrant for tho aenator's pres
ent attitude of hostility. The division now
In the party's councils is causeless, use
less and bootless. It will do no good to
the Republican party of tb state and may
do a great deal of harm to those who are
responsible for It. If Senator Quay is
successful In asserting his absolute su
premacy, what has he gained? No one
disputed that before. If the fight Is fought
to a finish, his supremacy Is M'erttd at
the sacrifice, of party harmony and with
antagonisms' which will rear themselves
at every step In the future. If, however,
the distinguished senator Is not the via
tor In the) contest, his star will have fallen
as a leader; his power, once shaken, will
be gone forever. He will And, as others
have found, that the maglo of a name
which Is stained by defeat no longer at
tracts, and that men who are now his
friends will be his followers no further.
Senator Quay has not manifested In the
present exigency that wisdom and diplo
macy by which he has become famous.
There Is yet time to call a halt. There
need be no retreat. The Republican party
demands that the Uaders shall get to
gether and bring harmony out of the prts
etit threatened chaos."
II II II
Judge) Gilkeson, has replied to Con
gressman "Jack" Roblnson'B recent letter
Inquiring us to the management of lust
full's campaign and ulso asking by whut
authority the coming state convention wns
culled for Aug. 28. Mr. Gilkeson suys thut
he fixed the date for the state convention
In obedience to the written authority com
municated to him by luci out of the 121
members of the state commit!, among
them being Mr. Robinson himself. The
state chairman adds: "In reply to the sec
ond part of your loiter, requesting a state
ment of all the moneys oollected, and ait
Itemlzud statement of th disbursements
mude by me as state chairman during the
last campaign, I have to say that the fur
nishing of any statement as requested has
not been In practice. In this respect I
am following the course of former state
chairmen, to wit: Hon. Russell Errett,
Hon. Henry M. Hoyt, Hon. M. S. Quay
(during his two years -of . service), Hon.
John Cessna, Hon. Thomas V. Cooper
(during his long period of service), Hon.
William H. Andrews and General Frank
Keeder, and hence I am content to fol
low the example of my distinguished pre
decessors." II II' II
"Some of the friends of Senator Quay
are disposed to criticise Governor Hust
ings for whut they term his 'undignified'
conduct In consenting to enter a contest
for the control of the Republican organiza
tion," says the Philadelphia Bulletin.
"They assume thut this Is not consistent
with a high standard of gubernatorial
duty and that the governor should not
take sides with any faction of the party,
it will readily occur to disinterested Re
publicans that the same line of observa
tion will apply with equal force to United
States senators. If Governor Hastings
ought to hold himself aloof from partici
pation In the direction of party affairs, It
would be not less Incumbent on Senator
Quay to retire to Beaver or to Brlgantlne
and allow the party to take care of ltsief.
The truth Is that Governor Hastings has
been obliged In self-respect and in the In
terest of his own administration to use
his best efforts In freeing It from an Influ
ence which, working through the party
organization, has already hampered it in
its relations to the legislature, and which
would destory Its freedom of action for the
rest of his term."
This is how Colonel a'Icx McClure looks
at it: "The Intelligent, fair-minded Re
publicans of the state long before the two
months' fuctlon battle shall have been
fought out will feel as did the Roman
people of old when they proclaimed that
Caesar had a party, Antony a party, but
Rome had none."
II II II
The Quay men are now claiming that
Adjutant General Tom Stewart will be un
able to deliver Montgomery county's dele
gates to Gilkeson; but this staument Is
vigorously disputed.
II II II
Twenty-two out of Allegheny's twenty
seven delegates have Indorsed JudgeGllke
son. The other five are understood to be
for Quay,
II II II
It looks as If there was also a little
shrewd politics down in Luzerne. Attor
ney General Palmer, accept congratula
tions! It Is becoming evident,' as the days glide
by, that the Quay side doesn't have all the
political skill cornered.
II II II
Senator Quay promises to "make a state
ment" when he returns to Hurrlsburg
from Beaver.
The appointment 'it "judge Rloe well,
thut is another story.

Editor Hart, or the Plttston Gazette, Is
now probably sorry he spoke.

A favorite at first sight growing in everybody's liking as the months roll by.
Lightness, airiness, loveliness of finest wool, and all the royal beauty of silk.
If ever patrician ancestry showed in a woven stuff, Lansdowne has it. And
here it is in the evening shades, Sunset and Moonlight, and the Gray of Dawn
and Ocean tints, and the modest prettiness of Flowers, have all lent beauty
to this exquisite Silk and Wool Fabric. Like all other good things, it has
its imitators, but none are so good as the genuine, with W. F. Read, the
maker's name, stamped thereon.
Silks From
Are almost numberless in name and quality, but none are like our 24-inch

they come up bright and cheerful as freshly Laundried Shirt Waists. The
