Ex-Hayor Beamish.
In the death of ex-iMayor Beamlfh
Lackawanna county loses an unbiue
character, who In his day stood In
the very forefront of public affairs. Mr.
Beamlh was a conspicuous type of
ttie practical politician, who played
the game of politics wholly from
Jove of It, and In whose playing there
was an audacity that even when cen
surable commanded admiration. The
era of his supremacy was an era of
rapid changes; It was during the city's
boyhood, when from sheer exuberance
of grow-th and strength many pranks
were committed which 1oday would
elicit from our more conservative gen
eration criticism, swift and keen. As
the central spirit In the politics of
those days, Mr. (Beamish accepted con
ditions and opportunities as they were,
and made the most of them.
But it is a significant fact, fit to he
graven In epitaph upon his tomb, that
although no other Scrantonian had his
chances to gain wealth in the shadowy
side-streets of political manipulation,
not a penny of all the many thousands
that he handled or controlled stuck to
his palm. Ho 'used his power unspar
ingly; but he never used" It for personal
gain. He used It to succeed In political
aimbttlons, and to further the ambitions
of others; but never a dollar was ever
charged to his account as a conse
quence of doubtful methods or exacted
under the potent sway which one-man
political domination Is wont to wield
over the world of business. This may
not seem a strange thing today; but at
the time of which we speak It was the
glittering exception to the rule of ex
pected cupidity and peculation.
It deserves arso to be said of Mr.
Beamish that In the impulses of his
nature he was an ideal friend. Un
sparing to those who crossed 'his path
way In political strife, and utterly
without fear or scruple in the methods
by which political supremacy was then
obtained or retained, he would turn
from the boldest and, perchance, the
crudest of political strokes to empty
his purse Into the hand of a friend In
distress or to alleviate the anguish of a
suppliant for charity. It Is profitless
now, and It would also he unjust, to
re-open the chapters of political in
trigue In which 'he bore so prominent a
part. His faults were the faults of a
fortunately disappearing system. But
his genlalKy, his tenderness and his
many little graces' of charity and be
nevolence were his own. In the light
of these personal virtues we many well
feel satisfied to forgive and forget
whatever In his eventful career might
suggest less pleasant reminiscences.
The esteemed Wilkes-Barre News
Dealer should not believe all that it
ees In print.
Purchasable Elements.
A trae remark was made by Walter
Lyon the other day when he said:
The two purchasable elements In
politics are the .upper and lower crusts
of society.. The great bulk of the peo
ple are .honest and. unselfish. ."Ward
heelers can be sent Into the slums of a
great city, and for a few drinks or a
few dollars get the vote of the denlsens.
And the city powers, by putting a few
repairs on the . street In front of a
man's, house, or J)jr giving him a street
lamp, or a switch at his factory, or for
soma like service, can secure his sup
port. The two extremes are 1 thus
brought Into the . same . category. I
have talked to manufacturers who have
expressed a desire, for a change In
municipal affairs, who say that just as
soon as they make such a public decla
ration they expect to hay their taxes
doubled." , :
He might havt added a third class to
his list those men of generally conced
ed respectability who are Influenced
for or against certain political princi
ples by their expectation of patronage
or preferment. The dollar given to the
loafer for his vote Is really the least
dangerous form of campaign Iniquity,
since it is a game open to all factions
and parties. The great peril to Re
publican government comes through
the willingness of well-bred and well
educated men to trade their convictions
for place or "pull." If the Republicans
of Pennsylvania can once establish a
fair kind of civil service reform, in the
state and In the cities,, this danger, by
far the most alarming one In connec
tion with modern politics, will be to a
large degree obviated.
We should surmise that nothing would
give out esteemed contemporary. Colo
nel Theodore Hart, keener or more gen
uine pleasure than to be enabled, as
a national delegate, to vote for Quay
for president. ''Nor is It Improbable
that he will have that chance.
More Democratic Folly.
There Is seldom a time when the Tem
ocrutic leaders of ll'eunsylvania are not
up to some nonsense or folly that re
flects upon their common sense. Their
latest scheme is to attack the new 'Su
perior court in the state convention at
Wllllitmsport this week. It Is proposed
to embody In the platform to be adopt
ed a resolution demanding of the next
legislature the passage of an act
abolishing the new court as a useless,
unnecessary and extravagant append
age to the state judiciary. It Is also
proposed that the six candidates to be
nominated for Superior court Judges be
pledged thut If the legislature abolishes
the court such of the Democratic candi
dates as are elected will not demand
their salaries. This latter action will
be necessary for the sake of consist
ency. Judges once elected cannot be
legislated out of odlco during the term
for which they were elected. If the
next legislature should abolish the 'Su
perior 'court the seven judges elected
next November would draw their pay
Just the same during the full term for
which they were elected, although they
might not render any service whatever.
The 'Superior court is not a useless
tribunal, as the Democrats allege. On
the contrary, that court can be a most
useful and valuable addition to the Ju
diciary of the commonwealth. It will
relieve the Supreme court of a large
amount of business und enable it to
bring up Its business to date, which It
has not been able to do for many years.
It Is only recently that the Democratic
organs and leaders have attacked the
new Superior court. While the bill
creating thut tribunal was pending In
the legislature they favored the creat
ing of the new tribunal. The present
demand for the abolition of the court
Is a device of demagogues. By declar
ing in favor of Its abolition and pledg
ing the candidates not to accept pay
during their term If the court Is
abolished, the Democratic leaders ex
pect to make political capital. They
See in this movement the possibility of
electing three or four of their candi
dates. The people In the agricultural
districts were opposed to the creating
of the Superior court, and they will be
appealed to to support and aid In the
election of Judges who stand pledged to
vacate and decline the pay of their of
fice in case the court is abolished.
This is the veriest partisan clap-trap
and will not deceive anybody. The new
court has been created In good faith
and Is a necessary appendage to the
state Judiciary. There is no danger
that the next legislature will abolish It.
Neither Is there any probability that
more thtrn one of the Democratic
candidates for Judge will be elected.
The Republican candidates are not
pledged to any such nonsense, al
though. If the court should be abolished,
there is no probability that any of ,thu
Republicans would accept their salary
If they rendered the state no service.
It Is doubtful If anybody yet knows
whom Senator Quay will want as a col
league, year after next. The chances
are that developments in the Interval
will determine the matter. The only
known fact Is that Senator Cameron's
candidacy would precipitate a whop-
plag big row.
Cities Thirty Years Hence.
The prediction of Klmer It. Carthell,
the engineer, that within less than
three decades Chicago will be a city of
nearly 8,000,000 Inhabitants and New
York one of only a million and one-
half fewer . Is based upon scientific,
grounds, and simply assumes that the
present ratio of growth, which In Chi
cago is 10 per cent, per year, will con
tinue for the period named. Nor la it
Improbuble that the prediction will be
thoroughly verified Certainly, tho
present tendency of Americans to ag
gregate themselves In cities is not di
minishing; while the unprecedented In
terest everywhere taken In the prob
lem of city government suggests less
existing evils than future dangers of
multiplied size.
It affords a sharp contrast to this
curious prediction to study what the
last census has to say concerning the
distribution of urban population In the
United iStates. In area, the state of
Texas Is almost equal to 'Massachu
setts, New York, Pennsylvania and
Ohio combined, yet Texas had, In 1890,
only 8 cities of 10,000 or more Inhab
itants, while Massachusetts had 36,
New York 34, Pennsylvania 3.1, and
Ohio 22. The great state of California.
with riches Inestimable, had only 9
Buch cities; Georgia, the "empire atate
of the 'new south' ", had only 6 and
Oregon, with natural possibilities con
ceded to surpass the power of descrip
tion, had but 2. .
There, would, therefore, perhaps, be
a measure of geographical Justice In the
movement of urban supremacy from
New York, which Is In the midst of the
most thickly Inhabited area, to Chicago,
which Is the urban expression of the
rapidly developing great west and
northwest. But in that sense only Is
It pleasant to contemplate the prospect
held out by Mr. Corthell. A city of
8,000,000 Inhabitants, wherever located,
would be a shining monument to hu
man folly; and doubly so If located
within convenient reach of the west's
pure uplands and fertile prairies. The
herding of 8,000,000 Americans In one
city would mean the subtraction from
each one of them of much of those
happy characteristics of freedom, vir
tue and Independence upon which our
national progress has hitherto been
founded. Ho far from viewing, such a
consummation as a tribute to western
enterprise, we should regard It rather
as a signal misfortune.
The Philadelphia Ledger criticises
Governor Hastings because of the fact
that while he was urging, the last leg
islature to be economical. In view .of
the state's scarcity of available funds,
nearly $5,000,000 of the commonwealth's
cash was lying on deposit, without in
terest. In designated banks. The same
fact was true during iMr. Patttson's ad
ministration; In fact, has been true
for years. Did the Ledger just find It
out? Besides, how can a governor
regulate the customs of the state treas
urer, who Is, like himself, an elective
official?
The court of Northampton county
proposes to enforce the Brooks high
license act, as Is apparent from the
manner In which sentences were Im
posed the other day on a lot of people
convicted of running "epeak-easles."
Among the number were four women.
In each Instance the court Imposed a
fine of $500 and three months' imprison
ment. It seems that in Northampton
county It is atill possible to secure
jurors who will render verdicts of
guilty In such cases when the evidence
warrants.
A grand reunion of the Blue and the
C'.tay is on the Atlunta exposition pro
gramme for a week from next Satur
day. Will the shirt-wavers object?
Kentucky and Maryland would look
first rate in the 'Republican column;
and they're both edging that way.
. ... . .. .
We have had a surfeit of the reform
er who talks. Public applause Is wait
ing for tho reformer who works.
It is consoling to reflect that though
woman may not enter conference, she
Is not barred out of heaven.
There is at least one thing admirable
about David D. Hill. He never gives
up.
The city of Scranton may well be
proud of Its new high school building.
By the way, who opposes reform,
these days?
COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
A Democratic View of Cleveland.
Philadelphia Times: "We do not regard
It as ut all 'prubablo that Mr. I'luvclund
will be seriously discussed as a candidate
lor tho Democratic nom. nation lor presi
dent next year, und we buso this judgment
upon premises entirely outside of the,
merits of bis present administration. That
he is the strongest man with the people to
day, because of his Integrity, his courage
and his patriotism, will hardly be doubted
by any Intelligent und dispassionate ob
server; but that he would be weak as a
candidate for a third term, no matter how
earnestly and enthusiastically nominuted,
must be equally apparent to the consider
ate judgment of the nation. .Mr. Cleve
land will go Into history as one of the
grealest of American presidents. Lincoln
attached the people to him by his close
ness to them and his ever expressed sym
pathy for them. These qualities, added to
his great achievements In statesmanship,
make him the central figure among our
presidents since the administration of
Washington. But Mr. Cleveland, with
out effort to win popular applause, will be
crystallized in history us one of the bold
est and most patriotic of all our chief
magistrates."
- Capital Punishment Must no.
Altoona Gazette: "At yesterday's ses
sion, In New York city, of the Medico
legal congress strong arguments were
presented, and favorably received, against
tho death sentence, which was declared a
barbarous act of vengeance, which ig
nores the main object of the punishment
of criminals their reformation. This
blending of expert medical and legal opin
ion on capital punishment will attract the
attention of those who make a study of
the subject and perhaps lead to a whole
some discussion lion ink to result In good.
Tho nut mill drift of the times is away
from the cruel and unchristian methods
employed by the law In its vengeance al
most since there was law. Capital pun
ishment is on ancient thing, hut not mora
so than the stocks, the public whipping
post and hundreds of other atrocities to
which former generations clung until the
light of reason und humanity broke !n
upon them. The death penalty Is the last
of the law's extreme courses to survive.
Hut It must go. The age has outgrown it.
The time hns come when the reformation
of the criminal must supplant his ex
termination." Spain a Chronic lllood -Sucker.
Chicago Times-Herald; "There is not
today, if there ever has been, anything In
Hpain's attitude toward her Cuban jrov
ince which commends itself to the Ameri
can sense either of justice or good policy.
Spain has plenty of pride in 'the reten
tion of the 'gueen of the Antilles;' but
Spain has no thought of good govern
ment for the island. The Spanish govern
ment has not been careful to exhibit In Its
treatment of Cuba the least respect for
modern, and especially for American,
Ideas of political righteousness. There
could not bo a. greater contrast thun that
presented between (treat lirltain's treat
ment of Canada, for Instance, und Spain's
behavior with Cuba. The value of Cuba
to the. "mother country" Is measured by
the amount of revenue to be extorted
from It, In addition to the amount of plun
der which Spanish officials In Cuba can
make out of their position by methods of
corruption and extortion thut are per
fectly well understood."
Doesn't l avor Ono-Man Power.
Rochester Post-Express: "The move
ment In this country In favor of absolute
government In municipalities by u mayor
Is unworthy of the name of,a system, and
does not rise beyond the dignity of a mere
expedient to meet an emergency. There
Is no Instance In which it has proved suc
cessful. It is the device of the classes to
get control of city governments and run
them by cllqun Influences, outside of popu
lar opinion. The great trouble with mu
nicipal government in the United States
Is the tendency to do public business on
the sly and make officials responsible to
certain Important interests rather than to
the people. What we need all round is
government of the people, for the people,
by the people."
Senator Quay's Probable Choice.
Wilkes-Rarro Nws-Dealcr: "The with
drawal of Congressman Scranton from the
light for national delegate In Lacka
wanna county will 'ease' politics up 'there
for a little while at leatrt. When the Ile
publlcan state convention meets next
spring to elect eight delegates-at-large to
the national convention, it is sold that Mr.
Scranton will count on Qmiy making him
one of the delegates. He may be disap
pointed, however. Rumor has It that the
place has already been promised to the
Hon. Theodore Hart, of Plttston."
Looks Good for Reed.
Washington Star: "There could be no
more significant indication of Thomas H.
Ueed'B presidential strength than the fact
that Henator Quay regards him with
friendliness In that connection. It Is not
a sentimental regard. Mr. Quay is not
given to ebullitions of simple affection In
his political transactions. It Is the cool
headed choice of a keenly perceptive poli
tician of the man whose chances look the
best at this stage of the game."
Quakor City Misinformation.
Philadelphia Inquirer: "Today the Re
publicans of Lackawanna county will
elect two delegates to the Republican na
tional convention. There are four candi
dates. The representatives of the faction
which supported Ollkeson are William
Connell and John T. Williams. The other
two candidates are Congressman Scran
ton and William P. Morgan.
Who Will Car for Him, Nowt .
Harrlaburg Patriot: "The story that
Quay will oppose Cameron's return to the
senate Is not an unreasonable one. Mr.
Cameron didn't overwork himself for Mr.
Quay .n the late ugly struggle. Mr. Quay
has a right to check his perspiration
wnen mere is Woik to be done lor Mr.
Cameron."
POLITICAL POINTS.
Senator Cruv. of Delaware, favors
third term for Cleveland, and from this
time on nothing will be loo good for Sena
tor (J ray. His friends will get ottlces and
tne senator himself will be a great man
tho estimation of the president. Perhaps
he will even get that coveted seat on the
supreme bench. With Ambassador Bay
ard and Senutor Gray both In favor of a
imru term ueiaware ougni to be pretty
solid at the white house.
Tho Truth seems to think that the can
didacy of Judge .McCarthy, of Philadel
phia, for Superior court Judge is inimical
to the prospects of Judge Smith, of Lack-
awanna. That is nut exactly clear to the
average clt.iell. Judge Smith may need
the assistance of McCarthy's friends &s
much as the latter will the support of the
menus oi enutli.
The Harrlsburg Telegraph thinks the
nepuuuean majority will reach auo.KK) in
Pennsylvania this year. That would be
doing pretty well for a party thut was
"rent in twain" onlv a few weeks bo.
Most Republicans will, however, be con
tent with a quarter of a million. Let's
knock uu.uuu oft the Telegrupn s estimate.
President Cleveland ought to return to
the seat of covernment and remain there
at least long enough to give the bounce to
Bowler, the comptroller of the treasury,
who Imiigines thnt he is also the su
preme court. Howler !s altogether too big
lor the olllce 'he holds or that holds him.
It Is announced thud' Hoss Harr'.ty will
not take a hand In the light for the nomi
nation of candidates for Superior court
judges. He says he has no favorites, it
Is a significant fact, however, thnt just
about half a dozen of his particular
friends are active nnd hopeful aspirants.
The Republicans of the Huntingdon
Mllllin judicial district are in a big row
over the nomination of u candidate for
Judge. Both counties want to name the
nominee und as there Is only one judge to
elect a light is on.
The Philadelphia Inquirer is apparent
ly unable to get a correct view of Lacka
wanna politics. The day that it doesn't
print nt least one error about I.icka
wauna is regarded hereabouts as a rarity.
The Republicans of Wyoming county
could not Arid n man willing to run for dis
trict attorney. The Republican lawyers of
Wyoming are oven more modest nnd retir
ing thun their Lackawanna brethren.
Today's convent ion at Willinmsport will
not be half ns Interesting as the late Re
publican convention was, but there will
be more swearing when It Is over than
there was at Harrlsburg.
Senator Quay, It is alleged, expects to
control fifty-six of the sixty-four Penn
sylvania delegntes to the national con
vention. He already has two ot them tho
only two yet elected.

Two Good Rules
FIRSTMake your money honestly.
There never was any happiness obtained by the aid of gains ill-gotten. Every
dollar earned of honest toil buys a hundred cents' worth of happiness in every
market on earth. A hundred thousand dollars wrongfully possessed can't buy a
cen't worth of heartfelt pleasure anywhere.
SECOND--Spend your money carefully. 1
While you are earning it by making something which you probably dont want
somebody else is equally busy making something you do want. . Don't be worsted
in the trade. Until you find the best place to spend it hold the dollar so tightly
that the eagle screams and the Goddess of Liberty expostulates.
