Election day. Nov. 5.
It U beginning to dawn on several
learned minds that a Rood deal of the
po-ealled International law bandied
about from mouth to nmuth In con-r.t-ctlon
with the Cuban question has
cobwebs on It.
The City Superintendence,-.
The people of Scranton are reluctant
to accept Prof ssr Phillips' resigna
tion of the ctly sohonl puperlntendeney
as final; but If his decision Is not to be
changed, the Felectlon of his successor
wiCl call for unusual discrimination.
Thus Tar we have learned of only two
candidacies for the position those of
Professor J. C. Lrange, the efficient prin
cipal of the Scran'ton high school, and
of Professor Oeorge Howell, assistant
principal In the same school. Doubt
less many applications will be received
from a distance, bu't the board of con
trol will make no mistake 1n according
its preference to the applicants who
have already become favorably Identi
fied with the growth and development
of our public schools. Hither of the
two local candidates would acceptably
discharge the duties of school superin
tendent, and both are sutllclently
versed In the needs of our schools to
maintain the present high standard of
efficiency.
Of the two, (Professor Howell Is per
haps the more prominent as a man of
affairs, with a wide acquaintance cov
ering all localities and classes, but
both are close students of educational
methods, and command attention In all
gatherings of educators. Both have
the executive faculty in high degree,
and neither would fall In a mo
ment of emergency. The choice be
tween two men so thoroughly deserving
of promotion as are Professors Howell
and Lange ia a delicate one, to be
made with due failrness and considera
tion. In the event of- either's success,
we feel assured of the other's thorough
loyalty In the subordinate position.

"Sumptuary legislation," as Inter
preted by the New York Democracy
tinder the leadership of Murphy, Croker
and Hill, Is any legislation which In
terferes with its little blackmailing
arrangements with the fat-pursed
brewers.
An Ebullition of Anarchy.
The ten thousand citizens of New
York city who on Wednesday paraded
the streets with banners decrying the
enforcement of the .present excise law
In that municipality called thelr's a
"liberty demonstratllon;" but It was not
that. That thing, In a government of,
by and for the people, which condemns
the enforcement of laws enacted by a
majority of the representatives of t,he
people Is not liberty; It Is anarchy.
The essence of good citizenship In a
republican form of government Is
obedience to law. Obnoxious law can,
In such a government, be changed by
the people, 'to suit their will; but It
cannot be repudiated with safety out
Fide of the regularly constituted enact
ing body. When euch Irregular and
- unofficial repudiation takes place, it be
comes lawlessness; It weakens the foun
dations of all law; tt savors of anarchy.
The complaint of many citizens of
New York city Is against the enforce
ment of .the law which says that alco
holic liquor as a beverage must not be
sold on Sunday, except when sold with
meals, as In hotels. This law was
passed by a majority of the representa
tives and senators ejected to make law
for the people of (New York state. It
can be repealed or amended by the
same Kind of public servants whenever
a majority of the people shall so wish
and declare. Vntll it hi so amended or
repealed ft stands on the statute book
ll-lh will tw M,alM.Bv . ,1 MM
cenea resistance to Becomes insur
rection. The one supreme principle In
our form of government 4s that the ma
jority shall rule. The citizen who does
..not wish to recognise this principle will
escape trouble by choosing a residence
In some other country. . .
In the concrete, .the present, trouble
In New York ctty arises from the desire
'ot many persons' o buy beer on Sun-
a ay. 'ine setting oi -qeer on eunuay is
prohibited ' by law, . Therefore these
personi are endeavoring, not to change
the law, which, If they could accom
plish It, would be a constitutional and
orderly .'process; they are. endeavoring
to nullify tha law, by. abusing and re
sisting the agents of Its enforcement.
Such conduct is wholly apart from the
debatable question whether the sale of
beer on Sunday is desirable or not; it
Is lawless. Insubordinate and revolu
tionary, and ft lays upon every honest
citizen, whatever his opinion as to the
desirability of Sunday beer Selling, the
Imjieraitive duty of standing firm for
law and order as thus assailed. Agita
tion along peaceable lines for the or
derly modification of a given law is one
thing which Is entirely within the
bounds of propriety; warlike agitation
against the enforcement of law Is an
other thing, which Violates every safe
principle of American government.
The ten thousand Oothamltes who
advocate resistance to law-enforcement
abuse their civic privileges and ought
to be ashamed of themselves.
The Syracuse convention believes
that the people "will permit no step
backward In tariff reform," a detail
In which It is quite accurate; for the
people are preparing even now to cor
rect, a year from next 'November, the
" backward step" taken by them In
lss:.
Time to Recognize Cuba.
On Sept. 10. according to trustworthy
reports, the tMiiptitultlon.il assembly
representing an overwhelming propor
tion of 'the native citizenship of Cuba
and nearly two-thirds of the Island's
total area, met at Kan't-a iMarla del
Puerto -Prinrvjie, formulated articles of
government and fleeted Bnrtolonie
Masso I'.ihe first president of the Cuban
republic. As soon as 'the new govern
ment gits ncvustonied to its duties, the
expectation Is that it will despatch
unibassadors to the various govern
ments of the American mainland. In
cluding the republic of the United
States; and Muse ambassadors will
plead for the recognition of their gov
ernment as one of the established Insti
tutions of the western hemisphere.
The republic of Venezuela, lit Is said,
will within a few days grant the de
sired recognition. The republic of
Mexico is understood to contemplate
similar action, and awafts only the oc
currence of a good "pretext. The only
Important government in the New
World which has up to this time ex
hibited official Indifference or open
aversion for the cause of the Cuban
patriots who are now battling, as did
our forefathers, for Inalienable rights
Is the Cleveland administration at
Washington, which only a little while
ago was endeavoring, with might and
main, to put back a bloodthirsty wan
ton on the demolished 'Hawaiian
throne. And In this conduct, as In
that. It runs directly counter to fhc
enlightened sentiment of the country.
It In paid that the whole question of
our duty toward Cuba will be placed
by the president tefore congress. If
true, this means more than two months
of unnecessary delay; but delay, fol
lowed by patriotic action, would be
preferable to misguided precipitancy
which, as In the Hawaiian case, re
quired the saving Inter venit Ion of con
gress. It will be of some moment If
Mr. Cleveland shall, In this affair, ex
hibit, for the first time In 'his public
career, a symptom of doubt as to his
own infallibility; but In all oth.-r re
spects the hesitancy of ithls great and
pioneer republic 'to throw the mantle of
lis moral aid over the battle of a weak
neighboring people fur the life, liberty
and unobstructed pursuit of happiness
that are manifestly their Just due
mounts to a crime-against the tradi
tions of the founders of our govern
ment. It Is an interesting flrcumtUance,
gleaned from the October "Bookman,"
that In only four of two dozen large
American cities Is fdolvaren's "The
Bonnie Brier Bush" absent from the
lif.t of the six best-selling books, while
In a large majority of places It heads
the list. This Is an encouragingly high
tribute to the clean Instincts and sharp
discernment of the American reading
public.
Bringing Law Jnto Contempt.
In speaking in advocacy of a move
ment in its city to regenerate the man
ners and purify the morals of the minor
courts of law, the Chicago Times-Herald
graphically describes an evil which
Is widely prevalent. "The Justice's
court," It pays, "was intended to be the
poor man's court, and was Instituted
solely for the purpose of giving a
speedy remedy for small demands,
which would be eaten up In the ex
pense of higher courts. The Justice
was supposed to be a sort of arbitrator
between neighbors, or between master
and servant, when some dispute had
arisen about small money matters.
This was the sum of all disputations
likely to occur In rural or prlmitve
neighborhoods, and for them an In
ferior court of this kind, dally accessi
ble, was a boon. I'.ut when the same
Jurisdiction Is applied to a city, with lis
thousands of poor people and Its Im
mensely varied Interests, a very differ
ent condition nrlses. Here these In
ferior courts, Instead of being the poor
man's resort for Justice, are too apt to
be made the means whereby he Is op
pressed." Complaint to this effect Is of frequent
occurrence. Only a few days ago Judge
White, of Allegheny, Interrupted the
proceedings before him to comment
scathingly upon the mingled lawless
ness and rapacity of many of the al
dermen and peace Justices whose re
turns figured on the dockets of the Al
legheny courts. Similar criticisms are
of almost monthly occurrence In this
county. The suspicion that many cases
of petty litigation are first fomented
and then carried up, for a considera
tion, by petty magistrates or their re
tainers, Is held by a large majority of
those whose business frequently calls
thorn into the precincts of the local
courts and In a few Instances It has
been confirmed by credible testimony.
"Detectives" who prey on protected
vice or levy blackmail on screened vio
lators of the law are only a fraction of
the class of malefactors who bring the
primary courts into disrespect or open
disrepute.
Public opinion to by no means unani
mous as to the (best methods of reme
dying these conceded' abuses; but It
would, seem as Ifthe Initiation of cor
rective measures was a duty devolving
upon the Judges of the various county
courts. It Is Into these courts that the
vast mass of manufactured minor liti
gation Is dumped upon apeal; tt Is upon
It that much of the time, money and pa-
tienceof these courts is literally wasted;
and It is the easy acquiescence or else
inertia of the law Judges that renders
possible the notorious evil's costly con
tinuation.
Even Roosevelt, grim ascetic that he
Is mistakenly supposed to be, admits
that "the custom of the German to sit
down with his wife and children to
sip pure beer is better than the Amer
ican habit of standing at the bar and
gulping down bad whisky." And yet,
the wlde-oen-Sundayltes will not for
give him.

tion of President Cleveland for his

honor," had "burs on It

The Hurrlsbnrg Patriot affects to be
convinced that the recent conference of
Governor Hnstlnus with ouvid .Martin
nnd C. I.. Mageo means nnnther battle
iigalnst Senator Quny. "The lines." it
says. "Will be drawn as tightly ns in the
stniEgle for state chairman. The leaders
of the rlvttl forces will be practically tho
same. The first test of strength will be
nunle In Philadelphia and Pittsburg next
snrinir for control of the municipal of
fices. These cities aro the stronghold of
the combine and the combine leaders pro
fess to have no fear of the result. The
rial fight will hn for delegates to the
national convention. The combine will
ninko a contest In every district where
there Is a fighting chance. Governor
Bastings, David Martin and Chris, ti. Ma-
gee will be candidates for delegates-at
large. The fourth candidate w.ll be a
prominent politician from the rural dis
trict, who has nc-t yet lieen selected.
Alderman Jones, of Allentown. will be
the combine's candidate In Lehigh; Fish
Commissioner Dale, of York. 1n the Nine
teenth congressional district; Maor Sam
Ixisch. or Schuylkill Haven, in Sehuvlkill;
Aaron Goldsmith, of Kuaton. in North

A splurge was recently made by many
papers with reference to nn alleged can
vass of the next congress by the New
York Chamber of Commerce, which pur
ported to show n overwhelming prepon
derance of "gold bugs." The Pittsburg
Times thus demolishes this particular
hoax: "it's a first-rate piece of Important
fipnncinl Information, excetit that It Is
totally destitute of truth. Tho Chamber
of Commerce committee has made no re
port of its 'K)11' or 'canvass. It couldn't,
for It has made neither poll nor canvass.
A clerk was employed by It to collect
newspnper clippings of what various
members of congress are nlleged to have
sa'd at various times and places, and this
clerk merely furnished a guess nt his
stele sclssorinKS to the enterprising fnke
factory which supplies New York sensa
tions at so much per scare."
Congressman W. A. Stone, of Allegheny.
Is making a canvass for national delegate
In Tom Reed's presidential Interest: "I
consider Tom Reed, of Maine," he said,
"the man for the plnee, at this time par
ticularly. The conditions which confront
Republicans In the coming presidential
battle are such as to my mind demand a
change from the regular programme. Mr.
Reed is eminently fit at any tlmo to sit in
the presidential chair, but at this particu
lar time his grand qualifications make him
especially so. In personality he Is one of
the biggest men ?n America. He Is brainy,
brave, brond-minded and diplomatic,
skilled In the leading of men and public
oolnlon, nnd buses his Republicanism on
the broad plane of common sense and
practicability. He Is right on the tariff
problem and on finances."

Philadelphia Inquirer: "If Heed nnd

If Davis wants to go (nto the cabinet,

COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
Shorten tho Presidential Campaign.
Rending Times: "The shortening of tho
presidential campaigns that quailrenlnlly
effect almost a paralysis of the business
of the country will undoubtedly lie a bless
ing. It wns necessary thirty years or
more ago to prolong the contests over a
per'od of three or four months, and some
times longer, In order to insure a perfect
spread of Intelligence regarding the na
ture of the Issues anil the character of
the candidates among all the people of tho
nation, aeattered as they were over nn
Immense territory, as yet poorly equipped
with means of transportation and com
munication. Hut the great growth of tho
railroad and telegraph system, and the
progress of the American press, hav
eliminated these conditions, and the
America of today Is no more difficult to
ennvass ns a whole than any one of the
states. It Is, In the present times, mani
festly useless to spend months In foolish
reiteration of charges and counter
charges, denials and explanations, when
the minds of the people are doubtless
made up on tho subject of preference for
candidates almost immediately after the
conventions."

P'ttston Item: "The dissentient Jury

attention Ht present. The jury commis

HAVE THE IIEST OF IT.
"Women have so much more patlenco

me the other day. "I know thut It wus so
When we were children."
There would be muddy tracks on the
clean hall, or cakes would be m!ssing,a or
something be broken, and mother's voice
would ring out:
"Who did this?"
Hut when she found that it was her boy
and not her girls who hud committed the
offense her voice would soften, 1 can tell
you.
And It does seem to me thnt tho rule
