Tn another column on this page ap
pears a timely communication from
t?x-Juds Alfred Hand concerning the
cori.ntion which has been ralsod with
r.'fetvnce to fhe constitutionality of the
law creating 'the new Superior court.
While Judge Hand does not seek to
usurp th? authority of the Supreme
cou.it. he plainly Inclines to the belief
that the law Is valid as it stands: and
that the overthrow of the clause limit
ing to six ithe number of Judges of the
Superior court belonging to the majori
ty party would be a public misfortune
Inasmuch as It would open the way to
a court composed -wholly of members
of a single political party a species of
altra partisanship manifestly inconsist
ent with good government.
But for the present emergency, the
most Important point In Judse Hand's
letter is his explanation that the law
must be considered valid exactly as It
stands until the court of final resort
shall have formally declared otherwise
a declaration which, If made at all.
Is not, In the Judge's opinion, likely to
be rendered -hastily or without due
consideration of the principles at Issue.
So fa-r as the Xovember election is con
cerned. It Is hln'hly Improbable that any
action by the Supreme court will be
made public In time to Invalidate the
provision of the mooted net which de
clares that no elector shall vote for
more 'than six candidates for Judge of
the Superior court. Hence any effort.
In advance of such decision to cancel
the law as It stands would clearly be
untenable In principle as well as un
eafe from the standpoint of expediency.
We repeat, all the more confidently
In view of the eminent sanction thus
efforded. that the only safe course for
the Individual voter to pursue In this
matter is to obey the law In Its plain
restriction of the number of. candidates
to be voted for, and thus do away with
any danger of having his ballot thrown
out upon the around of Irregularity.
This plan presents no difficulties. All
the difficulties lie along the other sug
gested pathway.
Why should Republican Pennsylva
nia, which 'Is raaily the hub In the union
cf the states, with to remain In the
'back row at national nominating con
ventions? 'W'hy rhould It not at last
muster up courage to stand up for Its
due?
Natioral Financiering - A Contrast.
The Democrats cannot reasonably
find fault with their Republican oppon
ents when they draw a contrast be
tween the last three yeara of 'Benjamin
Harrison's Republican administration
and the first three yeara of Grover
Cleveland's Democratic administration.
Comparison Is legitimate In politics
when facts and figures are fairly and
honestly stated, and no honest man will
state them otherwise. Here is contrast
No. 1:
During the last three years of Har
rison's administration the public debt
'was reduced $244,824,660, or at the aver
age rate of a little more than $31,000,000
a year. During the first three years of
Cleveland's administration the national
debt was Increased $106,467,390, or at
the rate of $35,455,796 a year. The as
tounding figures here presented cannot
be disputed by the defenders of the
Cleveland administration, for they are
a matter of record as well as of history.
Contrast (No. 2. During the last three
years of the Harrison administration
the aggregate surplus of revenues over
expenditures was I98.S69.515, or at the
rate of $32,956,505 a year. (During the
first three years tf Cleveland's adminis
tration the excess of expenditures over
the receipts of the treasury was $120,
150,000, or at the rate of $40,500,000 a
Tear. The facta and figures here pre
sented are as irrefutable as are those
with reference to debt decrease under
Republican rule and debt Increase un
der Democratic administration.
If there were no1 issue Involving na
tional policy to enter uvto the presiden
tial campaign next year, the Republi
cans might be content to fight that
battle and make their appeal to' the
American people on the sole basis of a
contrast "between: the (Harrison and
Cleveland administration in the mat
ter of the national finances, and we
feel certain such appeal would not be
made in vain. The facts cannot be too
plainly stated nor too frequently re
peated. The Republican party reduced
the public debt; the Democratic party
increased It The Republican party
showed a surplus every year it was In
power; the Democratic party shows an
enormous deficit for each year since
the present administration came into
existence.
There could be no greater contrast
than is here shown, but this is not all.
During the entire term of President
Harrison's administration the country
enjoyed unparalleled prosperity, the
Industries of the nation -were In full
operation and the people were happy
and contented. During the three years
of Cleveland's administration the coun
try has suffered from almost unpre
cedented depression, the Industries
have been languishing and the masses
have been reduced to comparative pov
erty and many thousands to actual dis
tress. Few among the millions of Intelli
gent people fall to see and understand
the contrast between Republican and
Democratic administration. Moreover
the thinking portion of the American
people know the cause for the change
that came with 'Democratic rule. And
what Is more to the point, they under
stand the remedy. Democratic incom
petency must give place to Republican
wisdom .and statesmanship; Demo
cratic policy must be replaced with Re
publican policy. That Is the remedy;
and It will be applied In the year of
grace one thousand eight hundred and
nlnety-slx.
'Senator Quay's assertion that he
doesn't want to Ue president Is not
meant as a hint that he will have no
use for the next one.
Why Not?
After noting the remarkable length
of the period during which the wealthy
and Influential sta'te of Pennsylvania
has ma.le no ?rlous effort to procure
the nomination and election of one of
her sons as president of the United
States, the 'Philadelphia Times sug
gestively observes:
The present political conditions might be
peculiarly favorable to the presentation
of n Pennsylvania canilltdate if the Re
publicans could be united, und there lire
rumors that the name of Governor Hast
liics miy be proposed. His unprecedented
majority of last year gave him peculiar
prominence timonir the leading men of the
nation, ami If the factional differences
now existing In the state could be recon
ciled, he would doubtless be quite acccut
nble to all the elements of the par'.v.
With Iteeii, McKlnley, Harrison Rnd Alll
Eon all contesting for the prlie, and
neither nreferrlng any of the others us
second rholre, the nomination of a strong
epn.llil.ite from Pennsylvania might he
wltrln the runw of pnsalhlHty. It could
be done, however, only by harmonizing,
and whether that Is possible Is an un
solved problem.
The serious proposition of Governor
Hastings' name as Pennsylvania's can
didate for the Republican presidential
nomination ought not, In our Judg
ment, to be regarded as an Improbable
possibility. It is true that the governor
was recently the central figure tn a
factional struggle which ended with 'the
nominal victory perching on the other
tanner; but it Is not true that that de
feat weakened his hold upon the respect
and confidence of the citizens of Penn
sylvania, or that his attitude since has
been other than manly, brave and dig
nified. Senator Quay Is doubtless as
quick as any public man to appreciate
the truth of these assertions, and to
recognize the Importance of forestalling
any possible future friction by the ex
ercise of a policy of 'harmony and recon
ciliation. That he would gain by such
a course Is as certain as that the party
at large would also gain, and with It,
every cause for which that party
stands.
Governor Hastings' nomination for
the presidency Is at all times to be
borne in mind as one of the possibilities
of the situation; and we might even
say, with truthfulness, that It is not far
outside ithe probabilities. lie is pre
eminently a man for great emergen
cies; a man whose character and merits
grow with acquaintance; a man abso
lutely honest and fearless. While he
could, at his age, well wait for the fu
ture to Introduce him In the arena of
national polHIcs, it is by no means
Improbable that the peculiar circum
stances of the next few months will
demand his early appearance among
tha active competitors for the presi
dential nomination. And should this
occur, there will doubtless be extended
to his candidacy the cordial and sincere
support of every prominent Pennsylva
nia Republican, with Senator Quay at
their head.
By a curious slip of the pen The Trib
une yesterday spoke of Rllly Craig
when of course it referred to Billy
Burke. The error was apparent. But
come to .think of It, we don't believe
that Craig, either, is shedding many
tears of sympathy for Collector Her
ring. With Reference to Cameron.
At about this time of year the reader
of Democratic newspapers In Pennsyl
vania may expect to encounter such
paragraphs aa thla, which we take for
purposes of illustration from the es
teemed Philadelphia Record: "As usual,
about this time, when no members of
legislature are to be elscte'd, the public
ear in assailed by a vtoler.it anti-Cameron
cCaimor. As usual, next year, when
R"pObilitn candidates for the legisla
ture are to be nominated and elected,
the clamor w!ll subside. The people of
Pennsylvania have become quite fa
miliar with the regular recurrence of
theae political phenomena."
It fa! unfortunate thalt the Inclination
to hurl back these Bribes In the faces of
the mockers who obtrude them is nega
tived by the rctcolleotlon that, after all,
the glrxfjare founded on fact. The Re
publican party dn this state once swal
lowed Cameron with scarcely a grrm
ace, after vowltvg dn the name of all the
god's that ft would never stomach him
again; and it is a truism of force In the
courts that what happens once may
happen again.
If .the Republicans of (Pennsylvania,
while- convinced that they don't want
Canveron as senator, nevertheless calm
ly permit this re-eleotion, we shall not
try very 'haird to make faces back at tihe
Democratic brethren who make faces
at us.
The days of opportunity to be of real
help to Cuba ewe rapidly gliding toy, yet
the Washington administration sedu
lously does nothing. If Mr. Cleveland
had "been king of France during the
American revolution, It is a safe guess
that 'he would have curled his nose In
contempt at the Yankee colonies.
.The attempt to please everybody rare
ly succeeds. If the Gotham reformers
want to retain popular confidence they
will not defer too obsequiously to the
whims of every Tom, Dick and Harry
ward politician.
The tearful news is caibled beneath
the briny Atlantlo that Lord Sackvllle
West (perhaps we should say Sir Lionel
Sackvllle-West. K. C. M. Q.) does not
like America, and thinks her presidents
are boors. It will be remembered that
Lord Lionel Etc. was once 'diplomatical
ly kicked out of these United States.
The highest court in iNew Tork state
has, upon final appeal, decided that
"Bat" Shea, the Troy election-day riot
er and murderer, must die. In the
meantime, Shea's moral accomplice, the
Trojan 'brewer, retains his seat in the
United States senate.
It may not be optimistic but It ap
nears to be the fact that vice can out
vote virtue five times out of six In the
large cities. The result in Indianapolis
is only one instance of many.
It would be a mistake if John Daliell
wore not made chairman of the next
wava and means committee, and we
don't expect Speaker Reed to head his
committee list with a mistake.
THAT S1PEKI0R COl'BT ACT.
Kx'Judgo Hand Presents Reasons Why
llo Relieves tho Low to Be Valid as It
Stands.
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir; There appears to be on the part of
some of our politicians and some
lawyers considerable excitement In re
gard to the constitutionality uf the
clause in the act of the legislature
which provides that electors shall vote
for only six out of the seven candidates
for seats on the Superior bench. In
their desire to air their views they are
disposed to disregard the law and vote
for seven Instead of six. They ask the
judge and Inspectors of election to pit
in Judgment on the constitutionality of
the law, and usurp the functions of the
Supreme bench. I do not understand
that the distinguished lawyer whose
partially published opinion has been
cited 'In the newspapers has advised
any person to take this course, but has
merely expressed a private opinion that
there was a possibility or probability
that the law in this regard may be de
clared unconstitutional. The basis of
this opinion is not an express mandate
of the constitution, but an inference of
his own. The public press, which by
reason of its constant consideration of
all questions and Its practical view of
tilings. Is quite as apt to be In touch
with the spirit and genius of our Insti
tutions as a technical lawyer however
learned, so far as I have read It, has In
tuitively and wisely expressed Its view
that the safer and wiser course Is to
obey the law and vote for six. Allow
me to-say that whatever course may
be taken or decision made prior to the
election, the press has uttered not only
the common sense view of the case but
in all probability the law of the case.
It Is of no earthly account what any
Individual lawyer or layman, officer or
Judge may think of the act of assembly;
the sole question will be, and cannot
now be raised, what the Judges of the
Supreme count, either a majority or by
a tie vote, may think. The law will stand
as constitutional and to be obeyed, un
til, by more than a'tle vote, those Judges
say it must fall. The press says it is
safer to vote for six. Of course, for an
elector may vote for less than all the
officers to be voted for; he cannot vote
for more than the law provides without
nullifying his vote. 'Less than seven
Judges elected in the way the law pro
vides would hold their offices. If they
were all voted for by ballots in which
the electors voted for more than the
law prescribed, they ought to be all
thrown out. The reason for this will
appear from the considerations herein
after stated.
Valid rntil Successfully Attacked.
'Any act passed by the legislature and
signed by the governor becomes a valid
law. It is constitutional until Success
fully attacked and must be obeyed.
Herein is a principle Involved so great
that if the law is disobeyed the Su
preme court may, and perhaps ought,
in duty to set the disobedient act of tho
Individual aside, whatever may be
thought of the constitutionality of the
law. It would be a monstrous doctrine
that Individuals may violate a law, (ex
cept one Involving moral considerations
and conscience, and even then they
ought to submit gracefully to its penal
ty,) simply on their own view that It Is
unconstitutional. The great majority of
our laws have never yet passed the
scrutiny of the Supreme bench in this
regard, and even if they should and
were thought unconstitutional, they
would often 'be sustained on the ground
of communis error.
It Is singular that so partial a view
should 'be taken of tlhe act creating the
Superior court. It would be a misfor
tune to the people If by any act or de
cision seven Judges should be voted for.
It Is for this reason, I fear, that many
are soGicltous to vote for seven and
thereby place on the bench, unless the
people act unpartlsanly In voting, seven '
men all of one political persuasion. It
would be a calamity. It the 200,000
.plurality vote of Pennsylvania should
be held even up to the vote of a plu
rality of one 'It would certainly make
all the judges Republican. If the Su
perior court should anticipate this
question, which I have little expecta
tion they will. It would not ibe lm
posflble that a reaction imlsjht take
place with the ipeople which would
make all the Judges Democratic. Such
tWlnigs have taken place. Should sunn
ibe the result the only consolation ifift
the Republicans would be that we might
profit at the next reaotlon.
I'nlikcly to lie Overthrown.
I have said llhat the statute Is con
stitutional un'tll successfully attacked.
I.t Is more t'han this. When attacked
It Is presumed to be constitutional all
along the seiiles of 'batt es which must
culminate In t'he final consideration of
the Supreme court. This presumption
will remain In the heart of each Indi
vidual Judge until upon all the facts
and. all the laws of the case presented
by the utmost skill of the advocates on
both sides the Judgment Is forced after
quiet and cailm consideration from itihe
court as a whole by a mnjorfty vote that
the law must fall. This decision will
come not on a single clause of the con
ttltutlon, there are no strict constitu
tionalists on t'he benrjh, they are all
among the lawyers; it will come on the
whole spirit and tenor of that Instru
ment. This spirit and tenor will be
evolved first from the facts: What
was the object of the statute? What
remedy was sought? What Is the na
ture and clasa of the Superior court? Is
any rlgiht of the citizen injured? da It
a higher rlgiht to force upon such a
court a partisan judiciary, on the plea
of an electoral right, than to provide for
the Impoeflblllty or improbability of
such an event? etc., etc.
It is admitted 'by the distinguished
counael whose opinion has been quoted
that minority representation Is provided
for the Supreme court. In this admis
sion It may be urged he throws away his
own case. The constitution provides
for new courts and tho change of courts
except In case of the common pleas and
orphan's court. There are two classes of
courts, vis: those of appeal and final re
sort and those not of appeal and final
resort. . The Supreme court has hereto
fore been the only one of the first class.
What la the Superior court? It la now,
also, a court of appeal and final resort.
In other words it la put Into the same
class as the Supreme court in this re
spect. It Is more; It Is part and parcel
of what was 'biafore the Supreme court.
There is nothing In a name, there Is
everything dn the thing itself. Suppose
the legislature had designated the new
court Supreme court and the higher
court the court of appeals as in New
York. The constitution does not bind
the legislature to a name. The Supreme
court today Is not the eame court It
was. It has by the sovereign power of
the state, for Its own good and the good
of the people, yielded a part of its
jurisdiction to another Supreme court
called the Superior court.
Tho I.ancuage of the Constitution.
Now what does the constitution say
on this subject. It says, Article V, sec
tion 28.: "All laws relating to courts
shall be general, and of uniform opera
tion and the organisation, jurisdiction
and powers of all courts of the same
class or grade, so far aa regulated by
law, and the force and effect of the pro
cess and Judgments of such courts shall
be uniform."
It will be impossible to state In a brief
article 'intended for the public what
parts of the constitution, what elements
of judicial and wise construction should
enter Into the breasts of the Judges and
will enter If this question comes 'before
them. The constitution Is always
called the people's Instrument by our
courts; it has been construed to meet
th'ls view to as to provide remedies for
evtls and never to fasten a worse evil
upon them. As a citizen above all,
as a lawyer and as a Republican whose
party Is more or less responsible for
this wise statute, I trust and believe
it will be sustained.
'Scranton, Oct. 9. Alfred Hand.
COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
Clothing and Modesty.
Cleveland World: "The philosopher at
the reeent meeting of the British Society
for the Advancement of Science wu not
altogether wrong in saying that a great
many people muke modesty and moral
ity a matter of elothes, whereas they are
or may be Independent of clothes. Human
experience justifies this conclusion. It U
proved by the luthattor of people on occa
sions when their minds are otherwise oc
cupied. At fires in the night, In ship
wreck, or during- the excitement following
a burglary, people In 'immodest' costumes
and almost without any costuming what
ever have met and acted and talked to
gether without a thought of Immodesty
or Immorality, and have been astonished
afterward to think how almost perfect
ti'.rungrrs encountered earh other, ur
rayed in nUniost a Garden of Kilen fash
ion without a thought of Its Impropriety,
unconscious even of their appearance.
This t-.hows thnt If the mind Is not di
rected to the costume, it Is of Itself neither
immodest nor Immoral."
His Record on Obstacle
Pittsburg Comnierclal-Onzette: "Post
master General Wllfon, who made a very
complete success, with the aid of the pres
ident, of accomplishing nothing, when last
a member of congress, wants to try It
again. Mr. Wilson will find his record as
a rtatesman very much In his way If he
makes the attempt."
Sustained a Sldo Wipe.
Washington Post: "Owing to the fail
ure of the Tammany engineers to obey or
ders Mr. 1). U. Hill's train of presidential
thoughts has (sustained a mort serious side
wipe."
For Thomas Is Shrewd, Ha Is.
Washington Post: "Whatever may be
the result of that New York dicker, Mr.
1'latt will be sure to be located at the Juicy
end of It."
Rut It mil Not Be Gratified.
Washington Post: "There Is conslder

lion decorated with the Olney twist."
