politics jnst so long as Horn o cratie in
capacity attempts to monkey with it.
The Execution of Bezek.
Sheriff Clemons Is thoroughly In the
right In his determination not to per
mit a large crowd of curious spectators
to witness the execution of Frank I3e
zk on August L The anxiety of ra
tional persons to see a man hanged Is
beyond comprehension. Death In any
form Is a thing to be viewed with re
pugnance; but to turn the Vilemn retri
bution which the law unwisely as we
think metes out to convicted murder
ers In this state Into a festive occasion
or kind of circus entertainment would
be to cast a reproach upon civilization.
Public sentiment Is nowadays gener
ally swift to condemn the mawkish sen
timentality which deluges blood
stained assassins with flowers and
other tokens, end which, aften their
death on the scaffold, cuts up the fatal
rope or splinters the death-dealing
wood Into souvenirs of the occasion.
Why should It not, then, be equally
swift In discouraging the unnatural de
sire of throngs of people to feast their
morbid Instincts on the spectacle of a
man dangling In the legal death's
dance T
Capital punishment at best Is a relic
of barbarism. Let us keep the barbar
ity of It down to e minimum.
Road Reform Begun.
Probably no other legislation yet
passed upon by the governor Is of the
Immediate practical value of the FHnn
road bill, signed yesterday. Its pre
visions lave already been printed In
ifletail la The Tribune; the law's pur
pose, briefly, is to enable counties and
townships to levy a special road tax
and proceed with the work of road Im
provement whenever the peoplo of the
affected division so elect.
This law Is only a beginning. The
!deal scheme of road reform will not
be reached until the state can afford to
take supervision of orterial roads,
Offering prizes for the best plans and
contributing to the roadn' construction
and maintenance, Such a system, sup
plemented with state (bountUn for
mailer roads reaching a fixed standard
of excellence, would give to the com
monwealth a uniform and adequate
series of main and cross roads, with
out putting upon poorer communities,
where the need of good roads Is always
greatest, a financial burden In excess
of their ability to sustain.
But for the present, the Fllnn law
will serve an admirable purpose where
ever publlo sentiment la alive to the
advantages of highway Improvement;
and in communities where this senti
ment is dormant It will nupply an In
centive for a vigorous agitation.
The Origin of the Panic.
Implying to a brief paragraph in
this paper placing the responsibility for
the recent business panic upon the
shoulders of the Democratic party, the
esteemed AVllkea-Uarre Leader enters
as Its disclaimer that the Daring fail
ure and the foreign fear, stimulated by
the Sherman silver purchase act, that
this country would go to a silver mono
metallic! basts caused the mischief,
while the McUCnley law was an acces
sory to the fact.-
We gladly learn that the Leader has
ceased to regard protection as alone
responsible. But Is it not a trifle sin
gular that during two whole decades
of a high protective , tariff, during
which the people of Europe had Just ,
es mucfli reason as they had three years
ago to believe wo would adopt silver
monometallism, there was no appre
hension as to 'the financial Integrity
of American borrowers and no sudden
and generul paralysis of American In
dustries and American commerce? And
is It not also a pregnant coincidence
that the first ominous slijns of the re
cent panlo did not present themselves
in the commercial perspective until the
Democratic parity had carried the na
tional elections on a pledge to annihi
late the protective tariff?
v The fact that business is reviving
uit last from sheer necessity, Burplua
stocks of all kinds having been ex
hausted, Is u mighty puor niKUi'icnt to
advance In JiiHllllcallun of the parly
whose revolutionary platform and sub
sequent legislative Incompetence made
purvlble the two yeurs of unnecessary
blight.
Cleanse the Constabulary.
"Judge Kdwurds," siiys tin Wilkes
Iturre Kecord, "deserveH praise for the
emphatic iiiniiner In which he scored
Hie conscienceless constables "f Lacka
wanna county who levy blackmail upon
citizens under cover of their official
positions, lie should follow It up yby
causing the arrest and punishment of
the blackmailers. Drastic measures are
sometimes necessary In dealing with
these alleged conservator of the luw.
Nothing short of a term In Jail will
brlnff them to a realization or their
duty.
"The courts , -themselves could do
much toward improving the personnel
of constables. There is altogether too
much laxity displayed in the appoint
ment of deputy constables. It is a com
mon practice In Luzerne county for
regularly elected constables to turn
over their otllces to Irresponsible depu
ties who are promptly appointed by the
court and no questions asked. The
bonds of these deputies are us a gen
eral rule worthless. They ure not close
ly examined, neither are they liled of
record. Consequently these alleged
otlleers of tha law enjoy comparative
Immunity.
"Tills accounts In part for th luck of
confidence on the part of tho people In
the average constable, und the conse
quent lack of efficiency on the part of
these utlleers. A little more Intelligent
supervision on the part of the court
would bring ubout a change for the
better."
The Battle for Home Rule.
The Irish National Federation of
America has Issued an appeal to Amer
icans friendly to the cause of the Irish
Nationalists, in the course of which It
says: "The Liberal ministry has re
signed, Ireland is once more to face
the authors of the policy of coercion
and landlord rule. The long pending
dissolution of the British parliament
will follow quickly. The Irish party
have kept faith In letter and spirit
under very trying circumstances with
tin' Liberal party and performed their
share of the compact, viz; "Mutual sup
port in thei .passage? of reformatory
measures for Great Brltlan and Ire
land; home rule to have first place."
In Ireland the strife and heated parti
sanship witnessed at the last general
election has been largely allayed by
the pacific, prudent and Intelligent ap
peals of the Irish party to the people.
The Unionists of the north have come
to see that a common Interest demands
a common protection from the rapacity
of the landlords, and large meetings
composed entirely of former political
opponents have endorsed the Irish
party. Thus has the political atmos
phere been cleared and the Irish cause
strengthened In the interim between
the rejection of the Home Utile bill and
dissolution.
"Ireland Is today In better
poaltlon Ithan evil.1 "before- to
force her Halm for Home Itule in
the future. Kngland can have no stable
government and know no peace until
Ireland 1s accorded the right of self
government. The general depression in
business has deprived the Irish party
of the financial support hitherto ob
tained from our countrymen in Aus
tralia, Canada and the United States.
The Irish peoplo have made great sac
rifices to maintain the contest from
their own slender resources; the cost of
a general election demands Immediate
financial support to enable them to go
back with an Increased vote to hold
the bulunce of power again In the next
parliament und wring from a Tory min
istry, If returned, the passage of a
Home Itule bill for Ireland."
Consequently American friends ond
sympathizers are urgently requested to
send such contributions as they can to
Joseph P. Kyan, secretary of the Irish
National Federation ' f America,
lloom "C. Cooper Union, New
York cily, checks to -be made
payable to John D. Crlmmlns,
treasurer. The dupeal Is a worthy one,
and also timely. The fate of home rule
hangs In the bulance, but vigilance and
co-operation on the part of its friends
may yet win the victory.
The Scranton Traction company ap
peal's nt dust to have awakened to the
necessity of equipping their cars with
safety fenders; but it is an open ques
tion whether this belated, solicitude
would have developed without a vig
orous prodding from ue press and from
publlo sentiment. Safety fenders ex
ist. Let us have them here1, without
further delay.

"What shall it profit a Republican
louder if he gain the chalrmanshlpof the
state committee, and his party loses
the staite at the next election?" asks
the Norrlstown Herald. The party, If
It be wise, will not permit any leader's
personal ambitions to cause It to lose
the state. .
Burning Governor Hastings In effigy
was the dignified and convincing' man
ner in which a number of Hazleton peo
ple expressed their opinion of the Quay
county veto. If anything was needed
to prove the unfitness of these people
to govern themselves, this would dem
onstrate it.
. Manne r Barnle would do a shrewd
thing to persuade the proprietary Inter
ests' In control of the Scranton Base
Ball association to cut the hay on the
ball park, level down the irregular
contour of the outfield and put up an
awning at the west end of the grand
stand. That done, public appreciation
would doubtless Lt quick to manifest
Itself.
"A good riddance" properly expresses
public sentiment with reference to the
repeal of the act of 1878, under which
Lackawanna county wus taken from
Luzerne. The act served a good pur
pose, but hud long since become ob
solete, Senator Vuughun deserves
congratulations-.
Full time and a 10 per cent, wagu In
creuKo beginning July 1 ure the cheer
ful announcements niado by the Green
ltldge Iron works. Not even Demo
cratic blundering can keep the Ameri
can people down.
The administration's victory In Ken
lucky would seem to point strongly
to the nomination of Carlisle for presi
dent In lNHti. Republicans, by the way,
could not ask for unythlng easier.
The Hazleton Sentinel takes tho veto
of Quay county so seriously that we
fear It will be Incapacitated for duly
for a long time to come,
- - ---
The chances are that if the whole
maitter Were to b- dona over aguln,
there would be no factional "war."
The blackmailing constable must go.

POLITICAL GOSSIP.
Commenting upon the possible effort ef

point pes to 1he Superior court, the I'hilu
delphla Knlletln very properly and oppor
tunely suys; "tr Hrnutor quay shall op

ernor Hustings uppolntees, he must fur

grievance that they do not suit his pleas-
ure or tnut they were selected without
consulting his advice. The people are In

assumption that it Is Incumbent upon the
governor to submit his appointments to

fusul to do so shall bepunlshed by the con,
vcnllon us a high crime und inlsdamennor.
The true test, and the only one which the
convention should uut upon in considering
the question of liuorsuig the governor's
uppolntments, Is whether each of the new
Judges Is quullNed bychaj-anter and attain
ments for the duties of tho Buperior court.
and to open war upon any candidate who
meets thut test would t a wanton Insult
to the governor as well as s degradation
of the court to the uses of factional In
trigue."

'"The appointment of Judge Rice," says
tho Wllkes-Darrs Record, "Is a Just tribute
to his sterling worth, not a reward for
partisan activity. It Is a recognition of
unquestionable merit, untainted by po
litical Intrigue, and unsupported by po
litical pull. It is not the outcome or a
bargain. It' was not 'fixed' beforehand,
neither was any questionable Influence
brought to bear upon the governor to se
cure it. Judge Rice will take his place
upon the Superior bench, if he accepts,
untrammeled by a single condition, con
fident in the knowledge that merit alone
formed the stepping-stone to his promo
tion." II II II
Although Walter Wellman, the celebrated
Wa shlngton correspondent, reports that
Washington politicians think that Quay
will win, he suys they recognize that In the
event of his defeat, tho noiimor must'
"forever step aside as the leader of the
party. If he loses now he will doubtless
fuil of re-election to tho senate, for con
trol by his methods, onco lost, Is rarely re
gained." ii ii n
The Philadelphia Press Harrisburg cor
respondent alUges that Senator Quay,
while talking to close friends tho othf
day, privately admitted thut the outlook
seemed somewhat dubious for him. Tho
tame authority charges 'the senutor with
having for months sought by letter and In
personal conversation to discredit the gov
