Election day, Nov. 5. ;
Colonel Samuel V. Boyd, of Luzerne,
is recommended not to lose sleep worry
ing because of Chairman Tompkins' In
experience. When the Luzerno Dem
ocracy ge;s through with the present
Republican county chairman it will
wonder where on earth Mr. Tompkins
concealed his stock of points.
Vote Only for Six.
Some ado has been occasioned by the
publication in the Harrlsliurg organ of
the state Democracy of an Interview
with M. E. Olmsted, an attorney of
that city, In which the position Is taken
that the framers of the recently-enacted
Superior court bill did not know their
business, and that consequently the In
dividual voter In Pennsylvania this fail
Is at liberty to violate that law by vot
ing for seven Instead of six candidates
for the Superior court bench.
The arguments deduced by Mr. Olm
sted In support of his position nre In
genious; and It Is within bounds of pos
sibility that they may yet pass before
the Supreme court for review. But un
til that tribunal shall undo the provi
sion of the act of June 24, 1835, restrict
ing the voter's right to ballot for one
less than the total number of offices
created In- the act, It will be the citi
zen's duty to vote for six Superior
court candidates only; and If he be a
Republican In sympathy with his party
and Its leaders, he will vote for the six
Republican candidates, and leave the
. Democratic candidates to fight their
battle out among themselves.
The mischief In the attempt by any
Republican to vote for seven judicial
candidates on the state ticket at one
time Is readily apparent. If his bal
lot should as it undoubtedly would
be rejected, the Republican party would
virtually kiso six votes while the Dem
ocratic party would lose only one. Such
a ratio of losses throughout the state
would bring the Democratic ticket
within easy range of election, and ths
Republicans of "Pennsylvania would
etand In the attitude of having know
ingly walked Into a pit of which they
had' seen the digging.
There Is just one gafe course to pur
sue and that Is to obey the law. The
law says thai no voter may vote tot
more than six candidates for the Su
perior court "bench. The law's word is
better, In this matter, than iMr. Olm
sted's. The Pittsburg Dispatch seems to
think that it Is to the best Interests of
the 'Republican party In Pennsylvania
to have Senator Quay and Governor
Hastings remain "on the outs." We
don't believe that in this view the Dis
patch coincides with party opinion.
To the Next Speaker, Mr. Reed.
Within two months, as we now are,
of the assemblage of congress, it is
probable that Mr. Reed, who will be the
majority's unanimous choice for speak
er. Is anticipating the duties of that In
fluential position, particularly In the
matter of the organization of the va
rious house committees. That he la
fully competent, without advice, to dis
pose of this intricate problem satisfac
torily may be frankly conceded; never
theless we suspect that Mr. Reed will
no resent as Impertinent any sugges
tions advanced with a desire to Inform
him as to the expectations of the people
in certain directions.
We take .It that one of the directions
in which It will toe Mr. Reed's desire to
effect a decided Improvement upon the
organization of the recent congress will
e In the work of the committee on in
valid pensions. When we consider that
the appropriait'lons for pensions com
prise the largest single item of expense
connected with our government, the
necessity of scrupulous honesty and In
tegrity In the committee room wherein
pension measures. are first considered
becomes at onc apparent. -On the oth
er hand, when we reflect upon the
magnitude of the debt which this na
tion owes to Its veteran defenders, and
remember that, at the farthest, only a
few more years are available for Its
partial cancellation, we are reminded
anew that the hand which controls con
gressional action on ithls subject should
be not unfriendly to the boys who wore
the blue, and should have their cordial
Indorsement.. s , .'"? ''
(Tor this reason we deem' It not im
proper ito suggest to Mr. Reed the fed-'
vlsability of entrusting the chairman'
hip of this Influential comirritteeto one
tt JU ckleit arrest known msmhsrar
a man whose official career has been one
long battle for the honest recognition
of the honest veteran, but upon whose
record there Is no taint of demagoglsm.
We refer to Hon. John A. Plckler, of
South Dakota, a clean, strong and
reputable friend of the Union veteran,
whose brilliant service in congress
makes an almost Irresistible plea for his
promotion. 'By this recognition of Mr.
Plckler we feel sure that Mr. Reed
would materially strengthen what dur
ing the recent administration of the
national house of representatives has
been a place of weakness and of shame.
(Ex-Speaker Orlfp has declared in fa
vor of an extended campaign. Judge
Cilsp evidently appreciates that it will
take a good, long time for the Dem
ocrats to re-fool the people.
Let It Come to Pittsburg.
If the city of Pltts'burg can guarantee
sufficient hotel ocoinjirnoilatrons and
some of Its prominent residents offer,
we understand, to give bond that nit
leapt 8,000 strangers can be accommo
dated comfort aMy we can perceive no
reason why the next Rt-pu'bllcan na
tional convention should not be held
within Its gates. The ccly real argu
ment in favor of Chicago Is Its superb
hotel facUI'tlea. Its so-called central lo
cation Is deceptive. A majority of the
900 delegates to the next convention
could more easily reach Pittsburg than
they could rea'dh Chicago. Resides,
laut time, out of deference to the North
west, the party went out to Minne
apolis. This time. In deference to the
long-patient Northeas't, which, we no
tice. Is always relied upon for elec
toral votes, tt ought to come to Pitts
burg, provided, to foe sure, that Pitts
burg will guarantee adequate facilities.
The hnldlnK of a national convention
In the heart of the great Industrial re
gion which i the most effective of mon
uments to the beneficence of the Repub
lican economic policy would be mani
festly appropriate. The bringing of it
to Pennsylvania, where Republicanism,
under the lead of General Daniel II.
Hastinifs, has reached the highest rec
corded notch In the history of state
pluralities, would likewise be fitting.
And finally, this location of the con
vention in close proximity to the home
of 'the Republican party's most success
ful strategist and organizer, Senator
Quay, would be a compliment well
earned 'by his services for that party
In past national campaigns. All these
reasons argue fur Pittsburg, and Pitts
burg we trust it will be.
The Wilkes-Harre Record doesn't
think It Is fair o 'blame District Attor
ney Fell for all the lawlessness com
mitted In Luzerne county; and adds
that he Is rapidly doing his duty. The
'Record Is doubtless right. No lone of
ficial. In fact no number of officials,
would be adequate to cur'b lawlessness
which Is not systematically repressed
by nil he forces of civilization. As a
matter of fact, the easy-going populace
in Luzerne Is to blame for that county's
appalling criminal record. It could re
form things if It would, but It Is too in
different. Look Out for Cameron.
Senator Kauffman, of Lancaster, ut
ters timely warning to the people of
the state that If they do not wish to
have another term of Mr. Cameron In
the United States senate they must be
vigilant In the selection of nominees for
the next legislature. He cites the fact
that legislative candidates are already
"feeJIng among the people" with a view
to procuring their nomination next
year; and hs calls upon the opposition
to Cameron to be careful in exacting
pledges in t ime for these to be of use.
"The great majority of the people,"
declares the Lancaster county senator,
"a.re emphatically ogailnst Cameron,
and If the Issue can 'be kept before the
people his defeat will lie certain. The
danger Is that Republicans may be
lulled Into false security. Every effort
will 'be inrode 'by Mr. Cameron's friends
to conceal the Issue and divert the
public mind in other directions. Mr.
Cameron has never been elected on nn
open campaign before the people, and
never could "be. The last time. It was
represented that he was not a candi
date until 'the legislature had been
quietly set up. Then when the peoplo
had 'been fooled Into .doing nothing,
and Mr. Cameron's agents had manip
ulated the nominations and elections
behind the scenes, he reappeared In the
field to appropriate the result. Tho
people who are opposed to Mr. Cameron
ought not to 'be caught that way
again."
So far as Senator Quay Is concerned.
Mr. Kauffman thinks he will wisely
keep out of the anti-Cameron fight.
This certainly would be good politics
as the public feeling now stands. Al
though ft is true that Mr. Quay has In
the past dared much In order 'to help
his unpopular colleague to retain his
senatorial seat, there is a limit to all
things; and tho limit to Mr. Quay's
friendship for Cameron would seem al
ready to have been reached so far as
political assistance Is concerned. To
hazard further aid against outspoken
popular protest would be neither wise
for the senator 'to do nor fair for Mr.
Cameron to expect.
The tioxt senator from Pennsylvania
should 'be a thorough representative of
his state and of his party. Therefore
he should not be J. Donald Cameron.
A Philadelphia contemporary, the
Bulletin, dfl afraid that Olney's judg
ment In the Cuban matter will be
"forced" by public opinion. Well, isn't
he supposed to be a servant of the peo
ple, hired to do what the people want
done? Pray, don't led; us have any
.more satrap 'business In the department
of state.
How to Stop It.
The failure of the latest Peary expe
dition to set within balling distance of
anything resembling the North Pole,
and the repeatedly demonstrated m
prdbablllty tlhat this failure will not
be the fate of all emulators of Peary,
present and to come, has again aroused
discussion of the pole-hunting manua.
This new discussion follows conven
tional lines. Tt admits the fad's ab
surdity but equally concedes the impos
sibility of preventing rcipeitltkms of the
tu'tlle search.
However, we are not so sure of this
tatter point.' The eccentricity o the
liumavn mind Is extraordinary, to be
sure; but for time at least w mis-
pert that the Arctic expedition craze, so
far as Americans are concerned, will
languish because of the very prosaic
and unsentimental circumstance of a
lack of forthcocninig money. There Is
little doubt In our mind thait Peary, Jlke
Wellman, traveled northward for reve
nue only; and that he, and others like
him, will stop when the public purse
ceases to yleJd Itself complacently to
the process of being lightened.
The announcement that Lieutenant
Peary will soon essay the sportive lec
ture, and describe, to fascinated multi
tudes, at a moderate price per head, tho
thrilling experiences undergone by the
.intrepid Graveler In the land of per
petual enow opens up a very practical
opportunity for the public to put the
stamp of 'its disapproval on a kind of
buslnes whose risks are far greater
than its advantages. Once let the
Arctte lecture fall as a magnet to woo
the daddy dollars, and we shall speedily
reach the end of the North Pole dis
ease. Professor J. Lawrence Laughlin, the
foremost American gold monometallism
who has Juti returned from an extend
ed tour of Europe, declares that all
the ch'lef nations are tending more and
more toward gold. Will not this fact
some fine day give gold an unfair
value?
If France ha'd been as careful to ab
stain from helping our forefathers as
the Cleveland administration Is to
Ignore the struggles of the Cuban pn
trlcits, the chances are that Orover
would today be out of a Job.
Senator Hill has Informed a Washing
ton Interviewer that he Is sure to carry
N'sw York on the continental Sunday Is
sue. Senator Hill will soon learn the
unreliability of the beer keg as a shib
boleth of victory.
One thing is certain. If New York
Republicans are beaten on the Issue of
honest law-enforcement, their numeri
cal defeait would amount to a moral
victory. But they will not be defeated.
Professor Coles Interprets the astro
logical omens to mean that the glory
of England will suion take Its departure.
Does this mean that the Chicago Fen
iun revolution will succeed?
Governor Matthews, of Indiana, will
also court the presidential lightning by
electioneering In Ohio. Ohio seems des
tined to be the playground of presi
dents. The scientists who scout the tradition
of semi-annual equinoctial storms are
Just now very busy explaining away
another "mere coincidence.'

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat never
was much of a high 'tariff paper; und Just
now It Is giving new evidence of the fact.
In an editorial on "McKlnley s a Presi
dential Quantity" It says: "To the aver
age Republican McKlnley's name always
brings up the recollection of the over
whelming defeats of 1MI In the congres
sional elections and of 1892 In the congres
sional and presidential elections. No In
telligent Republican doubts that McKln
ley was directly and absolutely responsi
ble for the defeat of ISM, and largely re.
siwnsible for that of JN!2. The public's
memory is proverbially short, yet as the
Republicans are still suffering from the
consequences of those disasters it has
net forgotten them. Wendell Phillips said
that defeat was education, yet, In such
cases, both individuals snl parties, while
profiting by the education, usually reject
nnd repudiate the educator. Personally,
Governor McKlnley Is worthy and popu
lar, tout in 'the present uttltude of the peo
plo toward him his nomination In 1806
would be bad .politics."

anti-Harrison forces to combine at tho
November meeting of the Republican nu
tlonnl committee and elect Senator Quay,
of Pennsylvania, national chairman In
place of Senator Carter, of Montana. The
programme Includes, of course, making
Senator Quay national commit ter man

Rochester Post-Express: "Quay's al
lies? They are powerful. Here are the
most Important: Piatt, of New York;
Fessenden, of Connecticut; Hohart, of
New Jersey; Clarkson, of Iowa: Foraker,
of Ohio, and Mahone, of Virginia. This
is one of the strongest combinations ever
formed In national politics."
II II II
St. Louis Olobe nmoerat: "Senator Al
lison's speech at Marshalltown, la., Is be
ing generally commended" by Republican
pnipers as that of a man whom his party
could nominate for president without any
danger of losing the election." .

COMMENT OF THE. PRESS.
The Duties of an Employe,
St.
Louis Globe-Democrat: "There Is
much force In the suggestion that persons
occupying places of trust, In which strict
honesty s demanded, should be required
to conduct themselves Cn a generally re
putable end prudent manner. The em
ployer has a right to say that an em
ploye who handles his money shall not at
tend horse races, or v:t gambling houses,
or engage In bucket-shop speculation, or
be known as a man who lives beyond his
means. It is through these loose prac
tices that men forfeit thei r sense of In
tegrity and become capable of taking
what does not belong to thorn. They are
not harmed, but helped, when their tenure
of service Is made to depend upon ad
herence to the rules of ordlna.ry morality
and propriety In the regulation of their
conduct at all times. It Is unreasonable
to say that a man may do as he pleases
when he .Is released from his dally duties
In a bank or a store where he holds a
responsible poulton. HI obligations do
not stop there, but extend to all of those
riroceedlnga which affect his reputation
n the community.'
An to Office-Holding.
Pottsvllle Miners' Journal: "One of the
best observations In the platform adopted
at the Republican sate convention Is the
following: 'We demand that public offlco
shall be for public benefit, and Its term &n
subordinate jjoslt'.onj shall be during good
behavior.' iTh men who will serve in of
fice for publlo benefit do not seuk - of
fice as rule and H is certainly bard to
live up to an enjoined requirement such
as quoted atbove. Yet It would be a good
rhlng to try to put men on a ticket for
otllcts of public trust who would regard
the offices as for -public benellt and for
once Ignore the chronic seekers after por tions
who wairt ahem merely for personal
profit und self aggrandizement. Nothing
W Impossible! in politics which Is entered
Into In 4he proper spirit by the proper
persons."
It Has Itocn Fxposcd.
Chicago Times-Herald: " 'Is Tammany
Hull any worse 'than It was in 1K92, when
It rendered such vigorous assistance In
the election of Orover Cleveland?" In
quiries tin exchange. We presume not,
but It has born exosed since that time
or. I there is no occasion for giving it an
other lease on life."
An Afterthought.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat: "One of the
lessons of ('hickninauca Is that two
American armies met there, fought two
days, and called It a draw. The carnage
was awful, but no one who walks over
the field will ever question the supreme
courage of the American soldier, no mat
ter what s'tate ho hulls from."
An Opportune Occasion.
Richmond Star: "There was never a
more pregnant time for tho people of these
X'nlted States to act within the pain of the
law and ut the same 'time accelerate the
opportunity of a brave and patriotic peo
ple for winning their freedom from an op
pressive and murderous government."
What keeps It Alive.
St. Louis aiobe-Demoerat: "The third
term talk has subsided considerably, and
Is now chiefly confined to Democratic
politic ars who are anxious to impress
the adm nistratlon with the Idea of their
fitness for certain federal otllces."
Important if True.
Philadelphia Inquirer: "A desire to
make delegates for Harrison was behind
the Kean movement in New Jersey, the
anti-Plait movement In New York, and
tho war upon Quay in Pennsylvania,"
Democracy's Chief Handicap.
St. Louis Oiobe-Demoerat: "The great
trouble with the Democratic party is that
It Is obliged to bo on thu wrong side of all
Important questions In order to be ugalnst
the Republican party."
Let I s Hope So. .
Chicago Times-Herald: "If Mr. Olney
will make u careful study of General
Grant's messages on the Cuban ques
tion there Is a prospect that Spain may
hear something drop."
It Must Ro Different.
Detroit News: "The sentiment Is grow
ing with rn.;itdity In this country that the
next half century of Cuban history must
not be a repetition of 'that of the past half
century."
How to Iniprovo Politics. .
Altoona Tribune: "Politics will be oil
the better for Increased interest therein
by those goad citizens who have hitherto
absented themselves from the primaries."
Oil tho Itctircd List.
Philadelphia Inquirer': "Now, at least,

and the Htraw hat may sleep the sleep of

Oct, 3, lSili.
A child born on this day will be endowed
with keen perceptive faculties und will
doubtless be able to look through a brick
wall when the occasion requires.
It is doubtful, however, if he will ever
be able to discover why Judge Smith
should continue 'to have faith in tho Lack
awanna Democracy.
Suspense over tho leadership of Lack
awanna's Democracy Is ended. Now let
the question us to whether Scranton Is to

cided, und tt.. .'e will be no objection to
winter "setting in."
Ajncchiis' Advice.
This day Is governed by Pisces, the sign
which controls the feet. IajcuI Harrlty
men, therefore, will do well to make
tracks for Mr. Fuhey's corral as early as
possible.
Statesmen who are dissatisfied with
