When lovely woman falls into the aratlaicntAl strain, there Is no telling What (o expect. We hAve, from time to time, animadverted upon the strange ease of Mrs. Florence Maybrlck, at present serving a life sentence In a British gaol for the murder of her hus- wand by poison. The facts In this case : Bare been sifted by the ablest minds In . the British empire, and all agree that 1 she Is entity as charged; that she was --fairly tried, and that her sentence Is Just Did ws say All? We mean all ' save lovely woman and a small group of easily swAyed men. She, as usual, "1 , aas turned sentimental; end-Is still ' pursuing the elusive notion that Mur '' eress Maybrlck may yet be freed, to ' follow ttie bent of her erring nature . , Into new avenues of sinfulness. y. "9u ewunple, we have before us a ,v curious letter signed by Kather'lne t PrtndlvlUe, the burden of whose mes ' - sags Is that an International woman's society fans Just been formed to carry fl; ' on the agKatlon for this wicked wo- man's release. The letter sets forth: first, that there "are a large number of mteillgent persons among whom Is i i the lord chief Justloe of England who i .Save thorourhly Investigated all the ; UetM of the ease.'and who believe that this lady Is suffering penal servitude . 'Unjustly; that she neither murdered her , husband . nor . Attempted to murder ' him."

The exquisite irony of raising money by popular subscription to free the sin ful relict of the husband, she first wronged, then killed, "at a time when hundreds of pure wives and honest children are suffering for the necessar ies of life would be patent to most per sons; but It seems to be quite lost upon the victims of this Maybrlck fad. Their motives are Irreproachable; but what a sad misdirection or phllanthroplo en ergy, and what a pitiable waste of time, money and sympathy! An Opportunity Worth Oraspins;. Scranton with all Its wealth and pro gresflveness needs something more than material advancement to place her In the full rank of her sister cities. She has devoted much money, it is tru, to educational purposes and to day her rank as leader In education for younger citizens cannot . be disputed. There Is, however, another grade of ed ucation that as yet we have not paid sutliclent attention to, and that Is the higher education which is to be gained In technical and professional schools. Scranton as the center, the pivotal city of oneof th most populous and wealthy sections of Pennsylvania, as the most progressive and advancing city of the state, could well support one or more of th.s? s.-hools. Could we, by sufficient Inducements, secure the removal to Scranton of an already established and at present highly successful Schoolof Law, It would seem to be an opportunity well worth examining Into. A school of the highest rank, with scores of pupils, is looking to secure a location where more fre quent sessions of court are held than in Its present situation and where it may secure even a larger success than it at present enjoys. There should be, and we feel sure there will be, a strong and united effort by our citizens to secure for Scranton this school rather, than allow some other place of less note and with notably fewer advantages to In duce It by rpecious argument to settle there. This Is a matter that requires prompt action. Today's meeting of the Lack awanna Bar association, called to con sider the proposition of the directors of Dickinson college for the removal of the law department to this city, should have a large and representative at tendance. The Currency Issue Is Not Dead. One of the significant signs of the times Is the actloa of the directors of the Manufacturers' club of Philadelphia In declaring their unanimous opinion that 'bimetallism, or the use of both gold and silver as standard money, un dr the system commonly known as the double standard, would be bemeflclal to the American, people. This belief," the resolution adds, "accords with the tra dition and practice of the government, as the system Itself, in our view, does Ir. a peculiar manner with the interests of a nation which is the chief of all the producers t)f raw material and Is heavi ly fei debt. But, by what means shall the restoration of bimetallism be pro cured? We are confident that one method Is absolutely certain to produce the result without creating alarm or financial disturbance, and without Jeoparding the rights of either debtors or creditors. It Is by the co-operative action of the governments of great na tions. Whether amy other procedure would be harmful or harmless may be a matter for argument, but this plan is commended by sound Judgment, and by the testimony of some of the ablest financiers and economists In the world, as containing ir.o element of risk.' We, therefore, fully approve It and hold to ii, and express the opinion that our government should actively endeavor, by persuasion or the use of other means, to Induce other governments to enter upon, an engagement to restore silver to Its place as standard money." This Is doctrine to which objection can be made by no Republican In ac cord with his party's last national plat form. If we are to be guided by that platform, International bimetallism Is possible aind necessary; but If we are to take the word of Mr. Cleveland's free trade friends, who constitute the chief champions of his recent and falsely-named "sound money" campaign, It is ain artful deception, or, as the Phila delphia Record loves 1o put It, an "Iri descent dream." For our om part, we have not hesitated to express the be lief that by means of certain restric tions this nation could safely 'have com plete home bimetallism, whether other nations Join with us In silver's restora tion or stand aloof. This, of course, Is only a belief; and we are mot so wedded to It that we would reject any fair sub stitute which, by the consensus of opin ion, Is deemed better calculated to reach the desired end of an ample, sound cur rency, every dollar of which shall be the complete equivalent of every other dollar. . If, for Instance, when the Re publican! party says It wants Interna tional bimetallism It means that It will exert every reasonable Influence at Its command to secure an International parity, then ithat ought to satisfy any patient friend of silver. It Is the silly fight that Ignorant or Interested Re publican pleaders for gold monometall ism make on bimetallism that causes many persons 'to question "Republi can party's sincerity on this by . no means secondary question of the age. We notice the occasional expression In eastern papers of a belief that the "silver Issue" will not figure much- In next year's political calculations. That will depend upon the attitude of the Republican national convention towArd this subject. If any one believes that, with A stationary currency 4 hd, a grow ing, population, we are yet ready, to atop the ootnage of stiver,' As It has been virtually stopped by the Cleveland f administration, he possess ea a mora sanguine temperament, both politically And economically, than Is possessed by the writer of these lines. Bays the Philadelphia Inquirer: "The attempt new being made Inside and outside of Lackawanna county to array Judge Wlllard's delegates against Senator Quay shows that there are In the state some novices In poli tics, whose services Judge Wlllard may not Altogether appreclAte. who desire to best QuAy first and let Wlllard take his chances. These persons will bear watching by Wlllard's real friends." The attempt of the Quay crowd in Lackawanna county to Ignore Judge Wlllard's claim In a grand scramble for self advancement under cover of the Quay banner threatened at one time to meet with some success; but fortu nately that danger Is now over. We notice In a Pittsburg dispatch that there Is renewed talk of compro mising the etate light by the with drawal of both Quay and Qllkeson and the substitution of Colonel Watres. Whl chance there Is of achieving such a truce we do not pretend to know; but If the party at large wants to escape a good deal of unnecessary bitterness and strlfeit may ere long have to take a stand, regardless of the fighting chief tains. In self-preservation. Colonel Watres, In such a case, would certainly make an Ideal chairman. As Senator Quay considers the large number of former friends whom he Is now alienating, perhaps permanently, all because of a foolish wish to bend the governor of this great common wealth to his wishes as he would bend a clerk or minor servant, we wonder If he Is not sometimes moved to doubt the wisdom of his gratuitous war. Fight ing may be rare sport at the time, but the sores It leaves behind seldom heal in a day. The promotion of Lieutenant W. S. Millar to the Inspectorship of the Third Brigade has been honestly earned by good, hard, conscientious, every day endeavor; and Is therefore most hap pily bestowed. There Is probably no man in Scranton who will not cordially Join with us In congratulating Major Millar. Wild claims have been made as to the attitude of State Delegate Northrop, of Wyoming county, in the present fight for fair play In Pennsylvania politics. The Tribune has 'Mr. Northrop's own word for It that as the Issue stands to day he is a supporter of the Hastings administration, and will so vote, Au gust 2S. ' t Tour true blue Quay man, with no axe to grind, loves an open fight; and has no time or patience for the skulk ing attack now being made In the Sec ond Legislative district, ostensibly In Quay's behalf, upon Colonel E. H. Ripple. Decent Quay men are above this low type of vindictive personal warfare. Those who are for Quay In this coun ty solely because they admire the man will hesitate long and seriously before training with some of the scheming and vindictive malcontents who are Using the Quay label as a shield to cloak their own designs. This Is par ticularly true In the Second 'Legislative district. For every word they say for Quay his local rooters, on the quiet, speak two words for the promotion of their own personal ambitions. The chances are that Senator Quay, long before he left our county, wanted In more Instances than one to be saved from his friends. One thing Is certain. The label "Quay" In this county covers a fine multitude of grudges. POLITICAL GOSSIP. Frank Willing Leaoh, who Is just now the subject of state comment, made his flint appearance In the political arena in 1888 an secretary of the state Independent Republican campaign committee. It was In this position that he attracted the atten tion of Colonel Quay, who subsequently made him his private secretary and after ward secretary of the state Republican committee. Leach assisted Senator An drews In the direction of the Delamater campaign five years ago. After the nom ination and defeat of Delamater he under took to nominate Judge Henderson of Crawford, forjudge of the supreme court, and was beaten by Judge Dean, of Blair. Two years ago Leach had charge of the fight in the legtelatur scalnet the Phila delphia public buildings commission and won. After that he was dropped by Sena tor Quay because of his unpopularity and nothing was heard of him until last sum mer when he tried to organise a movement to defeat Governor Hastings' nomination by bringing together Congressman Btone, of Warren, ex-Lieutenant Governor Watres, Senator Gobln and other embryo candidates for governor. He suggested to them to make a contest'and the candi date receiving the largest number of dele gates should he the cho ice of the combi nation. Mr. Watres refused to enter Into such a compact, Leach was compelled to abandon the scheme and General Hastings was nomineMl by acdlamatlon. After this failure Leach retired to political se clusion, meanwhile drawing M.000 a year, and was not heard of until the present qu Arret. His appearance In state politics means that If Quay Is elected chairman Leach will be vice chairman. , II II II Northwestern counties, which were neg lected In making up the governor's assort ment of judges, have a number of able jurists whose nanus will be presented to the Republican state convention. Among them are Judge Henderson, of Crawford; Samuel A. Davenport, of Erie, and George A. Berry, of McKean. The name of Judge Stewart, of Franklin, will also be pre sented. II II II Among those who have been suggestel as the probable successor to Frank Willing Leach Is Charles B. Voorhew, ex-chief clerk of the lower house at Harrlsburg ahd at present secretary of the Philadelphia Republican elty committee, Mr, Voorhees, although not a member of the bar, Is said to possess a good knowfedge of taw and to be In every way competent to fill the po sition, ; , . i',, ' f II II I News is said to have been reoelved by Governor Hastings indicating the control by his friends of the delegation from West- SBorekuid.

Wllkta-Barre Times; "Luserne county is entitled under the provisions of the constitution to two state senators and eight representative In the legislature. Under the present apportionment laws Luserne has one senator And six repre sentatives. Governor Hastings, sensitive to this outrageous Injustice, did every-thins- In bis nower to prevAll on the fegls- lAture to enact new ana Just apportionment bills. He would have succeeded baa not Senator Quay set up headquarters at Har rlsburg and. with threats of applying the lash to every Republican who refused to obey his orders, and with the Aid of All the Democratic members present, proceeded to detest apportionment. To the everlasting disgrace of the Luserne members of the legislature be It said that a majority of them obeytd the orders of Quay and as sisted him In depriving the people of Lu serne of the representation they ore en titled to under the constitution. But for Governor Hastings the county of Luserne would also today be In process of dis memberment. But for Quay and Quaytsm the bill dismembering Luserne would never have pesed the U-Klalature. Hastings saved the Integrity of the county. HAst Ingt would have given the county the two senators end flight representatives to which It Is entitled; Quay said no, and applied the lash of Quaylsm to defraud and deprive the county of the representa tion to which it Is entitled. And yet there are Republicans In Luserne who are too cowardly, or too thoroughly under the dominance of Quaylsm, to take a manly stand by the sldsof the Independent, fear less and Just Republican governor who would strike tho shackles from Pennsyl vania Republicanism and restore to indi vidual Republicans of this state the sensa of political manhood to which too many of them have been strangers for years.'1 II II II Cannot Follow Him. nttsburg Times: "When Bonator Quay declared open war on the administration of Governor Hastings and demanded the head of a member of his cabinet as tho price of peace, he said he. would mention the reasons for this on the floor of the state convention' which will be after ev ery delegate has ben elected and the con test decided, In the meantime, so long as the principles are being htld In which tho Republicans of the state can make their opinions felt, he demands deaf, dumb and blind obedlencw from all who wish to be considered his friend. To such a demand for servitude In the miscalled name of friendship, men with the spirit of man hood In them can give but one answer, and so It has come about that one after another of the well-known Republicans who have been the senator's strong friends In all his past contests have declined to follow him In this cruel and undeserved 'campaign of assassination' against & worthy Republican leader. Such crea tures as Andrews and Leaoh. and the venomous llttlo coterie of reckless mer cenaries who engineered the Delamater abomination Ave years ago, ure as xealous as ever for any battle that promises them power and plunder, but they make Ignoble substitutes for the strong men who would still be his friends If he would but permit them to be so with decent self-respect." II II II Marred by Clrenmstsnces. Wilkes-Barre Record: "It is to be re gretted that Senator Quay's first visit to Wllkes-Barre should be marred by cir cumstances which prevented our people from according him the hearty reception bis exceptional ability deserves. Under other conditions ha would command an enthuslastlo welcome from the Republi cans of Luzerne county. But he comes to us, not as the great captain whose genius has unified the party In Pennsylvania and placed It in a commanding position, but as a candidate, making a personal appeal for delegates pledged to overthrow the present Republican administration. Under these circumstances he should not expect that open-hearted welcome which, he would otherwise have received, and he must not bo disappointed If the men upon whom he depends decline, even at his request, to place themselves tn opposition to the gov ernor." II II II Fslr Plsv for the Governor. Philadelphia Press: "Governor Hastings has not engaged in any factional contest. Any charge that he has perverts and mis represents the facts. He has labored pa tiently and faithfully from the beginning of his administration to avert any such struggle. He has in repeated cases walveM his own preferences and sacrificed his per sonal wishes for the sake of avoiding dif ferences. But he found by experience as he advanced that th only way In which he could have peace was to abdicate his functions as governor and to surrender all Independence of Judgment. All this Is clear to every right-minded man. It Is making Its Impression through the state. Republicans are recognising that the gov ernor Is only doing what he has been driven to do in self-defense and self-respect. The people like fair play and they believe the governor ought to have fair play In his administration." II II II Haw the Storm Coming. Wllkes-Barre Times: "The departure of Congressman Joe Scranton for Europe takes away the leader of tho Quay forces In Lackawanna county and leaves the little band of Quay supporters there much de moralized. Congressman Scranton prob ably sees the coming storm and Is getting In out of the wet." II II II Uow to Hsve Posse. Pittsburg Times: "Senator Quay will have abundant opportunity during this trip among the people to see the weakness and folly of persisting In his present course, and let us all hope, for his own and the party's sake, that hs will see this clearly enough to abandon It, No overtures of peace need be made, for nobody Is making war on htm or desires to do so. He has only to permit peace In the Republican party In order to have It," TOLD BY THE STARS. Dally Horoscope Drawn by AJsoshna The Tribune Astrologer.
