Election day, Nov. 5.
Report la busy with the name of Con
gressman W. A. Stone, of I'lttaburg,
as that of a strong camlldatu for gov
ernor In 1S9S. Colonel Stone Is a
bright, able and experienced man; but
let us first get to 1S9S.
Labor Day, 189s.
Ideal weather and unusual cordiality
of feeling among the organlaed trades
combined to make yesterday's celebra
tion of Labor Day mora notable than
any held In years. In all Its details
tlie commemoration was successful; and
the parade was one of the most repre
sentative within memory.
It is a fortunate coincidence, hy the
way, that Labor Day. 1895, finds the
bread winners of Scranton and vicinity
at peace with their employe", and full
of hope and courage. The lifting of the
clouds that have so long depressed
business has been gradual, but It Is
steady. Each day brings nearer the
restoration of those highly satisfactory
economic conditions which were dis
turbed In ISM by the election of a Dem
ocratic president upon a platform
bristling with threats of commercial
and Industrial revolution. With the
correction, next year, of that unfortu
nate "change" will expire the last pre
text for restricted business activity,
and then. If not by anticipation even
earlier, trade may be expected to re
sume Its normal dimensions and yield
its normal profits to both capital and
labor.
As If to add to the day's obvious good
will, comes the news of a probable early
settlement of those long-standing diffi
culties which have operated to stifle the
anthracite coal trade. The extent to
which this Intelligence may be credited
has not yet been ascertained; but with
other Interests everywhere reviving,
common sense must soon, if not at
once, dictate a betterment of the trada
In fuel. All In all, therefore, labor has
many reasons to feel on good terms
with Itself. May It learn from past
troubles the virtue of patience and
moders tlont
Inasmuch as General Harrison has
repeatedly refused to announce himself
a candidate for next year's presidential
nomination, are not Benator Quay's
friends a little premature In predict
ing ills utter defeat?
Civil Service Reform.
Much Jubilation Is expressed In the
current number of the Century maga
zine at what it calls "the doom of the
spoils system," evidenced, our contem
porary declares, by the steady growth
of the number of federal positions
classified under the merit system, so
called. It recollects that after the pres
ent civil service act was passed, In 1883,
President Arthur put 16.573 positions
under Its operation; during President
Cleveland's first term, the number was
raised to 27,330; under -Harrison, to 42,
2i and in the .first half of the second
Cleveland administration, 6,610 places
were added, 'bringing the whole number
vp to GMC8, or slightly more than one
fourth of all the positions In the federal
service.
While this progress is rapid and en
couraging. It must not toe too readily
believed that the 61,48 places at pres
ent under competitive examination
rules are In all oases removed from the
clutch of spoilsmen and office-hunting
partisans. There are artifices by the
score, under the very law concerning
which the Century exults, whereby
merit can be as effectually, If perhaps
not so boldly subordinated to pull as It
used to be, before tbe day of civil ser
vice reform. This, to be sure, proves
nothing except that the execution of
the law la dishonest; but he would be an
exceedingly sanguine parson who, af
ter a careful study of political ways and
means at tbe national capital, would
venture to predict the date of- the time
when a law so thoroughly disliked by
all the political workers at Washington
as Is this reform statute could expect to
get approximately fair treatment from
Its nominal enforcers.
But to say that the civil service re
form of today Is principally pretence,
fchan and buncombe Is by no meant to
condemn the true principle it perverts
or to deny that the obvious trend of In
telligent public opinion will eventually
ascertain a method for the genuine
realisation of Its wishes in tbe premises.
We agree heartily with the Century In
Its belief fhat tbe people "have at last
realised that there can be nq thorough
and lasting reform of our politics till
the spoils system baa been destroyed"
ad tfcat tae surest way to get rid of
the spoilsmen Is to abolish the spoils.
Only, we caution our readers not to feel
too' complacent over the progress al
ready nominally achieved, nor to ac
cept drafts on that progress without
gilt-edged Indorsement.
The Pittsburg Dispatch, a paper
friendly to Senator Quay, suggests J.
Hay Brown, of Lancaster, ex-Attorney
General Hensel's law partner, for
Untied States senator, to succeed Cam
eron; and adds that he la sound on the
money question. Are there any other
nominations T .
Stevens, Cameron and Quay.
Our Chicago namesake. In Its com
ments upon last week's convention at
Harrlsburg, took occasion to lament
the decadence In public morals as in
stanced in the "great drop from Thad
deus Stevens or Simon Cameron to M.
8. Quay." Headers of The Tribune do
not need to be told that this paper has
not ln-en' fulsome In praise of Senator
Quay; yet It Is no more than Justice
that the Chicago contemporary's grief
should be assuaged. It should be at
once Informed that the "drop" from
Stevens or Cameron to Quay Is one
In point of time only; for as concerns
ability Quay is the peer of either and
in the knack of manipulating men he
is clearly their superior.
The habit of exalting the past at the
expense of the present Is far too com
mon. Thus, In an age which fails
as yet to do Justice to Lincoln
and snubs Grant, we huve Washington
deltled and Jackson made Immortal,
although the probability Is that If these
men were now alive and had to cope
with the Immensely complicated and
more intricate problems of this end of
the century neither of them would rise
above the level of a well-to-do country
celebrity of limited renown. So far ns
Quay and the elder Cameron are con
cerned, It Is to be remembered that the
state which the latter ruled was not
a halt either in population or resources,
of the state that Quay today domi
nates, while the opposition then to one
man dominion was but a tithe of the
independent spirit nowadays abroad In
the land. Cameron, too, had Alackey,
Quay and a score of less noted but
scarcely less able lieutenants. Quay,
In his recent fight against a combina
tion more powerful than Cameron ever
dreamed of, stood almost alone,
against opponents he. himself had
trained.
In point of morals, politicians of all
ages stand upon nearly an equal foot
ing. They all tight to win, and em
ploy whatever methods they think
needful. But 'Mr. Quay, aside from his
battles. Is surely not unfit to court
comparison with Stevens, who left his
fortune to a colored housekeeper, or
Cameron, whom Lincoln had to send to
St. Petersburg In order to avert scan
dal at home.
The Chicago Times-Herald has a way
of scalping political corruptlontsts that
beats the record. It pillories them In
first-page cartoons and dares them to
sue it for libel. It goes without saying
that not one has yet sued.
Tardiness of the Courts.
It Is possible that If a layman had
said the things concerning the legal
profession which Justice Brewer said
last week, before the American Bar as
sociation at Detroit, members of It
would have manifested resentment.
But coming from a Justice of the high
est known court, his strictures have
been received in silence, and with an
attempt at complacency. The subject
of Justice Brewer's remarks was the
tardiness which Increasingly charac
terizes the administration of Justice
In this country; and how this defect
might best be overcome. The gist of
the Justice's argument Is embodied in
the following pregnant 'paragraph,
which la of interest to laymen as well
as lawyers:
Shorten the time of progress. Curtail
the right of continuances. When once a
cane has been commenced deny to every
other court the right to Interfere, or take
Jurisdiction ot any matter that can be
brought by either party Into the pending
lltiKat.on. Limit the- right of review.
Terminate ull review in one appellate
court. Reverse tbe rule of decision In ap
pellate courts, and instead of assuming
that Injury was done it error is shown, re
quire the party complaining of a Judgment
or decree to show attlrma'ttvely not merely
that some error was committed In the
trial court, but also If thut error had not
been committed tho result must necessar
ily have been different. It may be said
that this would make reversals very .dif
ficult to obtain. They should be difficult.
The end of litigation should bo almost al
ways in the trial court. Business men
understand that It Is best that the decis
ions of their commHlees of arbitration
should be Una!, and without any review,
while some of our profession seem to
think that Justice Is more likely to be se
cured If, by repeated reviews In successive
courts, even to tho highext In the na
tion, the fees of counsel can be made to
equal. If nut exceed, the amount In contro
versy between the clients. In erlmlniil
cases there should be no appeal. 1 say It
with reluctance, hut the truth Is that
you can trust a Jury to do Justice to the
accused with more safety than you can
an appellate court to secure protection to
the public by the spwdy punishment of
a criminal. To gunrd Against any possi
ble wrong to an accused, a board of re
view and .pardons mlKht be created with
power to set aside a conviction or reduno
the punishment. If, on the full record. It
appears not that a technical error has
bon committed, but that the defendant
is not guilty or has been excessively pun
ished. The truth of It is, brethren, that
In our desire to perfnot a system of admin
istration, one which shall finally extract
from confused masses of facts and fiction
the o-bnolute and ultimate verities, we for
get that tardy Justice Is often gross In
justice. We are putting too heavy bur
dens on our clients, as well as exhausting
the patience of the public. Better an 00
rational blunder on the part of a Jury or
a, Justice of the peace than the habit of
protracted litigation.
In concluding this portion of his
address, Justice Brewer significantly
said: "The Idea of ihomo rule and
local self-government Is growing In
favor. Thoughtful men more and more
see that the wise thing Is to cast upon
each community full responsibility for
the management of Its local affairs,
and that the great danger to free gov
ernment Is In the centralisation of
power. Is It not In line with this
thought that as far as possible the
final settlement of all controversies
which are In themselves local shall be
by the Immediate friends and neigh
bors of the litigants? Waa not that
the underlying thought of the Jury as
first established? And while we boast
that the Jury system Is the great bul
wark 'Of our liberties, are we not In
danger of undermining Its strength
and Impairing Its Influence by the free
dom of appeals? Ia not tho implica
tion therein that the jury and the trial
Judge cannot be trusted, and la not
the sense of responsibility taken away
from both when they understand that
no matter what tbey may decide some
superior and supposed wiser tribunal
is going to review their decisions and
correct whatever of mistake they may
maker ,
The report that General Harrison had
wired congratulations to Senator Quay
got Into the telegraphlo news by acci
dent. It belonged on the Joke psge.
Cummings on Roosevelt.
The ibrlHlant but politically erratic
Asa J. Cummings has gone on the war
path against Theodore iRooievelt,. in an
Interview that 'lends plcturesqueness to
the autumnal outlook. "New York,"
says the Tammany ex-congressman, "is
neither the city nor Is this the day for
blue laws and an enforced purltanism.
Koosevelt is ordering the law carried
out hut failure attends the execution of
the order. JSach Sunday probably sees
as many beer kegs tapped as ever were
bofore the oppressive day of Roosevelt,
They may muflle the mallet and tap
tho thirsty spigot a bit mure softly, so
as not to excite the policeman outside;
but that's about the limit of the conces
sion. The (beer flows, the thirsty are
assuaged, and the excise law has little
to say."
Then he adds:
You must first catch the rabbit, says the
old cook-book, und thus it Is with Koow
velt and his fellow exclsers. They must
catch their saloonkeeper beforo they can
r.iuMt him. And what with the wuo' pub
lican's bolted doors, his sent.neis, unu I114
skill as un evader, Itoonevelt Is failing 10
catch him at u laughable rate. 1 shutild
suppose fully no per cent, of the New York
saloons ure dispensing drinks In a quiet,
gentlemanly way each Hunday. The ex
cise outrage hus but little countenance be
cause 0 its unfair effects. The clubman
Kds h.s unrestricted toddy at his club.
The hotel guest that means anybody Who
buys a HKvivt sandwich or a dinner nan
his unlimited beer or whisky as he
chooses. - Hut the saloon, which in Its
Kurt, Is 'I ho poor man's club, Is to be closed.
Koosevelt is about as valunble a moral
uffent 11s Purkhurst, who never did more
than take a ipuddle of sin which police
control had carefully drained Into one coi
ner, where tit would neither offend tho
nose nor foot of good people, and spatter
the puddle all Over the iiity, from the Bat
tery to Harlem. Puikhurst never abated
vice; he decentralized 'it, dispersed it,
made It rent the house and live next door
to you. So with Koosevelt. He hasn't
abated Sunday lifer: he has merely made
the workman spend three limes the niotivy
and leave his home and fumlly to find It.
There are some things that Mr. Cum
mings unfortunately omitted to say.
For example, he iforgot to explain how
Mr. Itoosevelt could, with a clear con
science, in view of his oath of office,
neglect to enforce, or try his best to en
force, the excise law. Be that law good
or bad, the president of the board of
police commissioners, if honest with
himself and true to his official obliga
tions, must use all the power at his dis
posal to have the law obeyed. He did
not make the law. He is responsible
simply for Its enforcement; and for Its
enforcement Impartially, among poor
and rich alike, up to the full limit of
his power and opportunity. Mr. Cum
mings' complaint against Mr. Roose
velt Is, therefore, really a howl at the
Tammany legislature which enacted
the so-called objectionable statute, and
thereby cleared the way to "bluo laws
and enforced purltanism."
No fact Is clearer than that Theodore
Koosevelt is, as usual, on the right
track; Indubitable evidence of which (is
supplied by the Incessant squealing 0f
those whom his couruge pinches.
QUAY AS A WARWICK.
Chicago Times-Herald.
Jn consequence of his brilliant end spec
tuculur but none the less thorough vic
tory, Senator quay ussumes a pos.tion of
pnme Importance In national polllivsV
jie.ieeiu, wuru, ai least until the next
presidential campaign is over, and per
hups during the life of the next udmlnis.
traliun, his will be the central if not the
dominating figure In every political land
scape. This Is the fact that niUBt confront
every political manager and every preai
dentin! possibility and cannot escape pub
lic attention. Already the Issue of the
Pennsylvania contest has been accepted
as modifying the relations of certain He
publican candidates for president toward
each other and their chances for success.
General Harrison, who has been a, good
second to McKinley, according to surface
Indications, now falls behind Heed, who
succeeds to his place, and there is an out
giving from Inulnnupolls that he may not
continue in the field except as the most
passive of candidates. Thla is chiefly be
cause Quay Is known to resent the In
gratitude of the ex-presldent toward the
managers of his campaign In 188!t.
In this matter Mr. Quay has a Just griev
ance. Not an original Harrison man. he
accepted the chairmanship of the natlunul
committee reluctantly and at a time when
no well-informed politician would give a
lig fur Harrison's chances. It was Quay
who brought the recalcitrant Republican
leaders Into line. It was he who mapped
out the campaign. It was he who went to
New York and gave the city of New York
the first honest Republican organisation
It had for nearly twenty years. Prior o
his advent most of the assembly district or
ganizations were simply tributary to Tam
many, and in many of these districts there
was not even a semblance ot Republican
organization. Mr. Quay put straight Re
publicans on guard In every precinct and
kept them up to their work. It was he
who declined to dicker with the Populists
In the west and encouraged the rainbow
chasing of the Democrats, while he
massed the Republican forces In the -metropolitan
group of states. It was he who
at the critical moment went to Phlladel.
phla and socured through Wanamaker and
I mlu n tho famous millionaires' mlto which
turned the balance of trade In campaign
money In favor of the Republicans, presi
dent Harrison knew all these things and
yet he blacklisted Quay from the day he
entered the white house. No wonder Har
rison reads his death warrant In Quay's
return to power and Increase of power.
Thst Harrison's friends In Pennsylvania
realized the peril to their candidate In the
result that has come about was apparent
long ago. The principal newspaper In op
position to Quay was the Philadelphia
Press, whose editor, Charles Emory Smith,
was President Harrison's minister to Rua.
sla, and whose owner, Calvin Wells, threw
over his life-long love, Illalne, for Hsrrl
son 1n the nomination canvass preceding
the Minneapolis convention. Wanamaker,
who was Harrison's postmaster general,
lent his name and his fortune to the antl.
quay tight with an enthusiasm only partly
explained In the remote chances for a
senalorshlp In tho remote contingency ot
Quay's defeat. Throughout the state ev
ery alHceholder under the Harrison ad
ministration who might expect a renewal
of favor at the aame hands fell In line and
went recruiting for the anti-Quay army.
With Harrison eliminated at the start, in
what direction Quay's Influence will be
cnitt remains to be seen, and for some time
will keep the politicians guessing. We
have Quay's own word for it, however,
that he Is In favor of either Reed or Mc
Kinley, and that reduces the problem to
still simpler elements. It will be like him
to hold his counsel for awhile.
The manufacturers, the skilled laborers
and the farmers want McK'.nley. Mr.
Reed has a nucleus of strength In every
congressional district In the congressman,
who will depend upon Mr. Reed for hi
status In the next congress. He has also
a considerable following In the larger
cities. Mr. Quay himself will wish ta have
a ssy about chairmanships next winter.
He will therefore keep the question open,
and a great deal may happen between now
and the regular opening of the presidential
campaign. Meanwhile there will be some
conferences between Quay and Piatt,
for the situation has similar aspect In
Now York, and If Now York and Penn
sylvania stind together In a national con
vention it Is pretty hard to prevail against
them. As to the sporadic nomination of
Quay for president, he 1 not the sort of
man to follow that Jack-o'-lantern. Prob
ably nothing Is farther from hie ambition.
He is the sort of man who would rather
be kingmaker bey on doubt than try for
a throne himself. No maa knows better

COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
Protect the Party Primaries.
Norristown Herald: "The present agi

It has too often been the cuso that the pri
niuiy elections, which exert so important
an lufluence in naming the party candi
dates, were at'tenued only by a few per
sons, and they not belonging to the best
element of the orguiilKuilon. After the
experience of the past few weeks, this !u
likely to be more than ever the case unless
something shall be done to convince voters
that they may attend delegate election
with the expectation that their votes will
not be overborne by bribery, fruud and the
vute of persons who belong to the oppo
site party. This is no merely sentimental
deinund. Tho party primaries are the
source of politdcal power. Once let the re

An Ineomparublo Platform.
Tho Indianapolis Journal says: "The
civil service of the professional Is super
ficial compared with thut which Senator
Quay has outlined. The former Is con
lined chiclly to u belief In competitive ex
aminations for a.lmlsrtion, while the re
form demanded by Mr. Quay, If carried
Into effect, would Insure honest, etllcient
und cotiam!cail governmeivt In citiies,
townships, counties, states and the United
Males. It would put an end to that manip
ulation by which public position Is used
chlelly for the benefit of those holding the
otllces and their favorites: no part of the
public twenties would be expended In pro
moting privato Interests and no unneces
sary expenditure mndn ubout election
lime to secure votes." The Journal adds
thut the civil service reformers never put
forth a declaration for the elevation of the
public service that goes to the root of the
evils of public administration as does the
Quay proclamation.
Very lloHlrablo Change.
Harrisburg Patriot: "Senator Quay will
recommend to the state committee at its
next meeting a number of Important
changes In the pai'ty rules. His plun is to
provide for the election of delegates
nearer the time of holding the state con
vention. The senator thinks sixty days
from the convention would be the proper
length of time. The necessity for this
change was Impressed upon Senator Quay
by the udvantuge the combine hud over
him In Allegheny county by electing dele
gates before the recent contest was pre
cipitated." Senator tjuay Talks.
When serenaded at Beaver last Satur
day night. Senator Quay said: "I need
not tell you of the future; It Is written In

committee, and It will be my pleasure to
