The County Convention.
T'.ie work of yesterday's convention
wn of a character to commend it to
tln Republicans of the county. In Its
unanimous iiamini? of William Connell
nr.d John T. 'Williams as delegates, and
Coniad S'hroeder and Juines J. Will
iams as alternates, to the next national
convention, the convention rellected
the sentiment of the people and paid
prcper tribute to four Republicans who
have Ions and ably served the party
with unselfishness and zeal. These
pentlemen will ro to their appointed
1a.sk free to vote and work for the best
interests of the party at large, and will
be frulded by higher considerations than
those of political preferment or per
sonal advantage.
The county convention was equally
judicious in Its selection of candidates
for coroner and surveyor. Dr. S. P.
Ixmgstreet, the nominee for coroner, Is
n physician of ihlgh standing In his
profession and of marked personal pop
ularity. He will make of the coroner
ship much more than a perfunctory
office. No less creditable was the se
lection of Edmund A. Hartl for Sur
veyar. Mr. Bartl is a thorough engi
ness. skilled In all branches of his pro
fession and possessed of widespread ex
perience. Although a native of Ha
varla, Mr. Bartl Is a firm believer In
American institutions and In his career
among us presents a splendid example
of the possibilities open to the adopted
citiren.
In' Its resolutions the convention wise
ly pledged . itself to work and vote,
"without reservation or exception or
Individual selection" for the Republi
can state nominees, thus dismissing
any fears of a trade In the Superior
court Judgeships. In harmony, intel
ligence, character and enthusiasm the
convention was a model one, and with
due vigilance on the part of Individual
voters, he triumphal election of the
county ticket, and the returning of
handsome pluralities for the state can
didates, are easily assured.
If the convention were held tomor
row, It would probably be Reed. But
there's uncertainty In delay.
New York Republicans.
The New York Ttepublinan conven
tion will be charged with having acted
the coward In relation to the excise
question; and it is to be regretted that
It did not utter a word of frank and
bold encouragement to the police do
pertmervt in New York In Its battle to
enforce taw and order on the Christian
Sabbath. Most persons will agree with
Chauncey iM. Depew when, on the eve
ning prior to the convention, he said:
"The theory of the Republican party
should be clearly defined on this ex
cise question. It ehould not hesitate
or shirk. It should come out squarely
one way nr the other, either for en
forcement or against It. If for it, you
will not get the German vote; If against
It you will not get the church and
school vdte; but if neither for nor
against It, you will disgust the people,
make them doubt your sincerity, and
lose their entire vote."
But though the Saratoga platform
In this one detail to neither flesh, fowl
rtor good red herring, It otherwise-
measures up to party expectation and
Is particularly fortunate in its em
phatic rtibuke of the suplneness and
Indecision that charaoterlze our pres
ent foreign policy. ,Wrth an excellent
tltfkat, the Republicans of our sister
stati. ought upon - this . p hit form to
march to certain victory) but If they
ehould fall of that consummation they
need brame nothing so much as their
own excessive timidity In fearing to
speak their opinion like men on a ques
tion crom Imen tly 'at Issue. ,
The people of (Plttston are In the

A bulletin. Just issued by tho Bureau
of Statistics of the Treasury depart
ment shows an excess of Imports of
merchandise over exports for the
month of August of $13,215,729, and for
the eight months ending August of
J36.505.518. The same periods last year
showed the exports to be In excess by
ID.07S.075 and J64.777.257. In other
words, under this brilliant Democratic
administration we are buying foreign
goods and losing the markets where
we used to sell goods of our own make.
This Is rare progress backward.
The Atlanta Exposition.
Genuine Interest Is deservedly mani
fested by the North in the exposition
which opens today in Atlanta. The ex
position merits attention on its own
footing as a wonderful collection of
wonderful things showing the supera
bundant skill, enterprise nnd versatil
ity of the American people, and es
pecially as practical demonstration
of the resources and Industrial capabil
ities of the cotton-growing states. But
even more than that, it marks the be
ginning of a new era of sectional In
tercommunication suid fraternal fel
lowship which was foreseen by Henry
W. Grady in a day of abounding bit
terness and misunderstanding.
The "New South" tocray Is more than
a name. It is a gladsome fact. The
shadow of the civil war hns lifted from
its fertile domain and from the minds
of Its loyal citizenship. Throughout
its vast area men are turning their
faces, efforts and hopes away from
the past, with Its miseries and mis
takes, toward the beckoning future.
They are forgetting the unfortunate
clivumstances of outlived discord, the
n.nv lmifltle'ss reminiscences of a mis
guided prejudice, and are attuning
their minds and hearts to the beauteous
promise of proximate amity and pros
perity. The Atlanta exposition Is mo
New Smith's letter-pati-nt. It Is a
token of reconciliation indorsed by the
wllllne handiwork of millions of its
people, and made vital by prompt ac
ceptance on the part of the North,
Kust and West. To the enterprise's
mieefsa the whole nation Is pledged;
and In its story, as unfolded from day
to day, every patriotic American will
experience pride and delight.
To Atlanta, to Georgra and to the
South as a ejection Pennsylvania gladly
sends friendly greeting.

Judges and Cjowns.
Just how the wearing of gowns by
judges and lawyers can augment the
dignity of the courts in a government
where all are supposedly equal it Is
ditllcult for the layman to perceive. It
cannot make any Improvement In the
quality of justice dispensed nor add an
iota to the merit of the court. That
it may gratify the vanity of the wear
ers Is conceivable, in which case it
would be pertinent to add feathers.
furbelows, wigs and cosmetics. For
the purpose of striking terror Into the
hearts of evil doers, a gowned Judge
would not be a marker to a Judge cos
tumed after the fashion of an Indian
chieftain and armed with a glittering
tomahawk; yet this expedient has not
been proposed outside of lodge rooms,
during the process of Initiation.
As a aerlous proposition it is needless
to say that we differ radically from
Judge Thayer, of Philadelphia, when
he says: "I am heartily in favor of the
proposition to wear gowns on the
bench, for It would add dignity and do
corum to the court. The appearance of
a judge robed In the Insignia of his
office Is In a way simply a matter of
taste, yet in my opinion It would Im
press the frequenters of our courts with
a sense of respect which to a great ex
tent is now lacking. The robe of a
judge Is simply the insignia of his of'
floe, the same as the uniform Is to a
soldier. To conduct the proceedings
of a court or any ceremony with for
mality Is much more dignified and
Impressive, and to robe the judges
would, in my opinion, produce these
desired results."
What kind of a garb does Judge
Thayer advocate! for aldermen and
Justices of the peace?
In the hands of Sr. Longstreet the
coroner's office will be of genuine worth
to the community.
Republicans and the Tariff.
The Democratic press purposely dlS'
torts the tenor of the recent speeches
of Governor McKlnley and Senator
Sherman at Columbus, O., when It de
clares that these eminent Republicans
favored a violent re-openlng of the
tariff question the moment the Republi
can party resumes control of the gov
eminent. Their addresses explicitly re
pudiated the Idea of sudden and radical
readjustments of tho present tariff
schedules, but were equally plain and
positive in the assertion that the coun
try could not accept es final a tariff
which, While opening the gates to for
eign goods and shutting off the exporta
tion of American-made goods, also re
turns such Inadequate revenues that
every few months it becomes necessary
to Increase the national debt by new
Issues of government bonds.
The conservative business element of
the country, while opposed to needless
and damaging tariff jugglery, neverthe
less believes, with Rudolph Blanken
burg, In a tariff "that will raise the
largest amount of revenue consistent
With adequate protection of home in
dustrles and not In a tariff that bank

the treasury deficit shall be a thing of
the past. Do our people want a full
treasury at such a cost? Every addic
tion $1,000,000 of custom receipts would
rob pur people of at least $3,000,000 of
home manufactures. Who would want
to raise revenue at such a terrific sac
rlflce? Two years ago we made at
home $3 of woollen and worsteds to ev
ery $1 we imported. Today this propor
tion Is almost exactly reversed.' We

To change the present mongrel deficit-
breeding tariff Into one which will both
protect our Industries and pay current
expenses Is simply to do what any
shrewd business man would do in his
private business If he found the cash
box emptying and his trade falling be

It knows just what to do and how to

ment of the subject and thus obviate
any thing like a panic.
The Washington iPost, which has
been investigating the opposition to a
thort presidential campaign next year.
discovers that It principally comprises
three classes: the boodlers, whose op
portunity of handling campaign funds
it would curtail; the spell-binders, who
would get less pay; and the saloon
keepers, to whom long political con
tests mean plenty of thirsty customers.
Everybody else is willing and eager to
choke the hurrah boys off.

OKiiitlun of oUrh rights to be accorded '.'
General Sherman's idiomatic- delinition

ure exactly that. But "civilised warfare'

straints, an open. Held and fair pla Ves
sels t-ngnged in. the service of either party
have the same freedum of the seas, the
same privileges in neutral harbors. Wh it
might otherwise be piracy la construed
as rightful warfare.
The opinion In the often cited pr.ze
cases In 2 Black's Reports lays down this
principle: "When a party In rebellion ou
cupy and hold in a hostile manner a cer
tain portion of territory; haye declared
tht ir Inili-Tiencience, 'nave cast on their al
legiance, 'have organized armies, have
commenced hostilities against their for
mer sovereign, the world acknowledges
them as belligerents and the contest as
war."
Says Wharton in his International
Law Digest: "We ought not, In cases of
insurrection In foreign countr.es, to ac
knowledge Insurgents as belligerents un
til Insurrection establishes itself on such
u busis of apparent permanency as to put
It, at least for a time, on an apparent
parity with tho parent state. When such
n eond'tlon of things is manifest then
proclamation, or neutrality should be Is
sued and tho Insurgent vessels admitted
to the same rights in our ports as those
of t ie government wnicn tney assail.'
I'nt'.l such belligerent rig'hts are nceorded.
in the words of another authority, Hnl
leck, "uniformed predatory guerilla bands
are regarded ns outlaws and may bp pun'
ished by a belligerent as robbers and mur
derers."
According to a statement of the solicitor
In the department or state, published 'n
the Albany I .aw Journal, Feb. 13, 1SH, the
I'nlted Slates makes a distinction be
tween the recognition of "Insurgency"
and "belligerency," ns follows: "We rec
osn'zn foreign Insurgency by refusing to
send our military and naval rnrces to at
tack Its armies or 'its fleets, and by refus'
ing to deliver up those concerned in it
when they take refuge on our shores.
We say n such enses to the titular gov.
ernment. whether it be despotic or lib
eral: 'We cannot i'aterveno to fight your
battle, e.'tner on land or sea; neither will
we surrender political fugitives who have
escaipen from you to our snips or our
shores.' Hut a recognition of belligerency
Is a very different thing. It is never de
termined on until an insurrection hns ob
tained permanency nnd stands on some
thing like parity with the government It
nssalls. iSuch a recognition is announced
by proclamation of neutrality, and fol
lowed by .placing insurgent. and titular
government on the pome terms of access
to the ports of the government by whom
tho proclamation Is made."
In th!s connection It Is of the greatest
significance to note the Instructions
which, under date of Feb. 6, 1874. were
given by our Secretary of State F'sh to
Caleb dishing, then our minister to Spain.
Kmlllo Cnsitelnr was at the time nres'.dent
of the short -lived flocavish republic, and
the insurrection in, Cuba had been going
on for over five years, to be kept tip for
four years more. Referring to the trouble

Spain, of her own spontaneous action,
might have settled. Secretary Fish says:
"It seemed for a while that such a solu
tion was at hand, during the time when
the government of Spain was admin'.
trrcd by one of the greatest and wisest
of statesmen of that country, or Indeed
of Kurope. President Cnstelar. Before at
taining rower tin had announced a Vine of
nollcy applicable to Cuba, whloh, though
falling short of the concessW of abso
lute Indeoendence, yet was of a nature to
command the aoprobstlon of the United
Steites. 'Let us," ho declared on a mem

a) a Heertitary Fish, "that to such a line

Cuba, the I'nlted Btates would make no
objection: nay. they could accord It beany
co-operation and support, as the next
best thing to the absolute indepvmienee
of Cuba. Of course, the I'nited ittutes
would prefer to see all that remains of
colonial America pass from that condi
tion to the condition uf absolute Independ

war the i desolating the island, and to
the determination which at any moment

eitht r in lijialn or Cuba, he adds; "Withal
tno ores'. lent cannot but regard :nucienii-

Those were words of a true and hu

Grunt nnd in keeping with all our best
American traditions. Has the present ad
ministration at Washington as clear a
sense of our duty toward Cuba In the
present emergency?
COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
Tho Atlanta Exposition.
Philadelphia Bulletin: "There is no in
superable reason why every city in the
south should not be lilled with the same
sp.rt of Industry and push that has trans
formed Atlanta In the past thirty years
from tho ru ns in which Sherman Kit it
to a metropolis that now keeps pace with
the great communities of the north in its
rapid advance to prosperity, if the mer
chants, manufacturers ami planters of
the south shall prollt by what they will
see at the exposition, they will enrry back
to tne.r nomes an industrial impetus tnat
will be felt lor years to come In every
southern state. The exposition, more
over, should lie the crowning guarantee
of national unity and amity. It should
imt an end to political sectionalism. It
should teai-h the south the lesson that
there are other pursuits thnt will give it
power than politics. The thousnnds of
northern men and women who will jour
ney thither will forge another link In
the golden chain of reconciliation between
the sections." .
Suggests II Story.
Eugene Field, In the Chicago Record:
"All this talk In favor of a short political
campaign next year reminds one of the
story of the man who once had a sharp
attack of colic. He had never been sick
before, and his pain left him no room for
doubt that death was at hand. Accord
ingly he sent for a minister In order that
his last moments might be soothed by the
presence of a spiritual adviser. When the
minister arrived he questioned the sufferer
somewhat and then suggested that he
offer a short prayer. To this the sick man
answered: 'I don't care how short you
make it, but It ought to be exceedingly
fervent!'"
Consolation.
Houston Post: "It is certainly a big.
rich country that gets nervous and out of
ports when it hasn't got a round hundred
million In gold in Its pocket.

POLITICAL POIXTS.
Of course the Democratic and assistant
Democratic papers hereabouts are favor
able to the propos.tlon to have Itepulil'.c
ans vote for Willard, Itice and Smith, cut
ting one of the other four Republican Ju
dicial candidates. But their willingness
is Just why Republicans should decline
to bo drawn Into the trap.
The rumor was lately current In Harris
burg that Governor Hust'ngs had re
moved Major Levi Welis. stale dairy and
food commissioner, because of the slump
of some of the Bradford deb-gates In last
month's stnte convention: but the story
Is not believed. Governor Hastings is too
much of a mart for that.
A Pittsburg paper says that Magec's
.present scheme is to knife Judge Wick
ham, one of the Republican candidates for
Aiipellate court Judge, nnd elect Judge Ma-
gee, one or the Democratic candidates.
We don't believe It.

It will bo apparent to a child born this
day that, unless Scranton displays more
patriotism than Wllkes-Harre In the pres
ent series of ball games, the cup winners
will not be able to Imbibe a very large
quantity of Imported liquid from their
trophy.
One year ago today the Scranton Kven

yet no one seems disposed to engage in
the enterprise of filling a "long felt want"
by entering the field abandoned by the
popular Express.
Under present conditions of tempera
