Election day. Nov. 5.
The bursting of the Lackawanna Iron
and Steel company reservoir wall last
evening; came at a time when few per
sons were nigh, else there would prob
ably have been more serious conse
quences. It Is said the walls of this
reservoir are braced from within. If
true, they should now, when the miss
ing dam Is replaced, also be strength
ened from without. The presence of
a large accumulation of stored water
In a central part of 'the city can be
justified only when every reasonable
precaution has been taken to insure
safety.
Choose Fit Servants.
One of the promised benefits of the
recent factional disturbance In the Re
publican party In this state Is that lit
will be 'the means of bringing to the
front In the near future a better aver
age grade of state legislators. The
mere fact that the masses of the party
have recently received a stirring up
would of Itself Insure an Improvement
In the personnel of the next state house
of representatives, because whenever
the people are aroused they invariably
proceed to correct evils and strengthen
weaknesses 'to which, In calmer mo
ments, they are more or less Indifferent.
But there are also special reasons
why within the next few months The
question of choosing a better average
of representation at Harrlsburg; will toe
pressed home to the people. One of
these reasons Is 'the likelihood that
there will be waged In the next legisla
ture a notalble Battle for the correction
of long-standing legislative abuses, and
particularly for the enactment of laws
modernizing and strengthening present
forma and mdthods of municipal gov
ernment. It does not matter, in this
connection, what the motives were
which In the convention bf last August
suddenly pledged the party to a sweep
ing reform programme; the salient fact
In the eltuatlon la that the Innova
tions promised In that prospectus coin
cide -with the trend of popuIar senti
ment, and will be carried Into more or
less effect by the Irresistible momentum
of that sentiment, which Is every day
accelerating In favor of cleaner meth
ods and loftier standards In the public
service. .Nor wlll the people, we fancy,
care to entrust the formulation of these
new and Important measures to the In
different legislative workmanship which
turned the last Harrlsburg session into
oiTrethlng like a 'broad travesty on In
telligent statesmanship.
Another reason calling for unusual
care In the selection of the next legis
lature will 'be the fact that it will lie
called upon to face the problem of re
electing or defeating Mr. Cameron. If
the masses of the party insist In time
upon the nomination of trustworthy
legislative candidates pledged to reflect
the (preponderating sentiment of their
constituents, and not likely to surren
der to the devious artifices of expert
manipulators or the substantial over
tures of retained corruptlonlsts, Mr.
Cameron (will (be defeated, and a Re
publican will be placed in his stead Who
will be big enough, brainy enough and
loyal enough fitly to represent the sec
ond American state in the United
States senate. If not, Mr. Cameron will
go back, and the old farce, wtth all its
concomitant shame and humiliation,
will "be re-enacted boldly In the face of
public indignation and protest.
There is unprecedented provocation
for the exhibition of courage and judg
ment In the making of nominations for
the next legislature', and we are not
yet prepared to believe of the intelli
gent (Republicanism of Pennsylvania
that It will tlhls time fall In hour of
eonsplouous duty.
., . . "
They may "electrocute" (Bat Shea it
they tflioose, but thugiam In politics will
never be eliminated -while its cunning
Instigators retain prominence, respect
ability and power.
It Is reported from Dallas that there
ts much local ladlgnatlon against Gov
ernor Culberson -for ls interference
with the Oorbett-Fltsslmmons fight.
It Is explained that ne business .men
of (Dallas regard the governor's action
as equivalent to taking $1,000,000 dlreot
ly out of their pockets. It might be a
good Idea for some one to suggest to
Che cftlsens of Dallas that there are
many tetter ways of ' making money
than In the management of prise fight
ing and ways, too, that don't Involve
the sacrifice of standing and self-respect
' ' '
The new editor and proprietor of the
Scranton Times, Mr. E. J. Lynett, made
In last evening's issue of that paper
formal announcement of his assump
tion of the ownership and control of It.
Mr. Lynett does not expect to revolu
tionize journalism or to crowd anybody
else out of the business. He modestly
contents himself with promising to
print a clean, bright, newsy and fear
less Democratic afternoon paper, such
an one as people place confidence In,
subscribe and pay for, and advertise In.
The redemption of this promise ought
to satisfy the most exacting. We wel
come Mr. Lynett's discerning and Ju
dicious pen to the field of dally Journal
Ism, and predict for It Increased suc
cess. Senator Murphy and Assassin Shea.
It is In a measure creditable to Sena
tor IMurphy that lie Is, according to
all reports, doing his be?t to stand by
his red-handed Trojan colleague, "Bat"
Shea. No doubt Murphy regrets that
Shea, in tvls capacity of professional
ballot box stuuVr and clectlnn-day
thug, was so Indiscreet as actually to
kill a man for wanting to vote a Re
publican ticket. No doubt he has many
times regretted that Shea did not stop
on the safe side of the. line which di
vides fraud, intimidation and heart
splitting from manslaughter, and there
by remain not too "conspicuously amonir
the ranks from which Murphy's ofllclal
lieutenants are drafted.
That this la as far as bis regret has
ever gone Is made a probable supposi
tion by reason of his conduct In declin
ing to attend any of the public meet
ings where the overwhelming majority
of the citizens of Troy by resolution de
plored Robert Ross' assassination, and
by neglecting In all other ways to ex
hibit sympathy with Ross' bereaved
relatives and friends, or with their ef
forts to do away with murder and tliuc
ism at the Troy polls. Rut while this
indifference to a gross crime and this
lack of interest In Its punishment look
black In a member of the United States
senate, who ought, If anybody ought, to
be In sympathy with decency, with jus
tice and with all that makes fur
pure citizenship. It cannot be denied
that the dogged loyalty whloh Murphy,
as the "boss," Is said to show In behalf
of one of his minions who has been
"nlnched" appeals to a certain low
phase of popular admiration. Shea
was Murphy's tool. He got Into trou
ble while dolns (Murphy's dirty work.
True, he overshot his Instructions, but
he still was "one of the gang," and "the
gang" must be protected or else it
will go out of existence, leaving the
'machine" a political wreck.
To be sure, this loyalty to hirelings
In trouble Isnlne-tenths selfish, when you
thoroughly analyze It. It Is of a piece
with that honor which Is proverbial
among thieves, who trust each other be
cause they know that if they don't, the
consequences may be mutually un
pleasant. But It suffices to command
a degree of approbation: and therefore
we reseat that the spectacle of Brewer
Murphy of Troy, with a spark of grati
tude, furnishing funds and Influence for
the defense of Bat Shea, the implicated
mercenary and ihlred thug who is un
der sentence of death for having over
done tho boss bidding, is. if genuine,
much the decentest attitude In which
this sorry apology for a United States
senator has recently appeared.
in fairness to young Charles Spencer,
otherwise known as the Duke of Marl
borough, It needs to be said that he is
apparently a very 'bright, unaffected
and good-humored young peer, whose
worst offense was In 'being born an
English aristocrat. We suspect that it
the truth were known, popular sym
pathy would rest with the duke In this
matter of the Vanderbllt barter for a
title, rather than with the young femi
nine price of the transaction. '
Clevelandlsm and the Farmer.
The last number of the American
Economist presented a grouping of
statistics which bears luminously upon
the question, What has Clevelandlsm
done for the American farmer? It will
be remembered that the burden of the
"tariff reform" agitation of 1800 and
1392 was the Democratic party's earnest
solicitude for the welfare of the down
trodden, tariff-robbed farmer. We pro
sented several days ago a suggestive
demonstration of what these free trade
philanthropists) have done for the
American wool-grower. They have
simply driven him out of 'business. And
now the Economist lets us into the
secret of what Clevelandlsm, as exem
pllfled .In the "perfidy and dishonor"
tariff, has done for the American
wheat-grower. It says:
The exports of wheat during ths months
or July, August, lost ana isua, were as ioi

It seems that during the first two minths

IHere we have, In tthe two dullest
months of the yv, a total loss of more
than four and a half millions ot dol
tare which comes directly out of tfhe
pockets of the farmers of the United
States, not to mention the increased
size of these farmers' taxes which will
be required before the new national
debts created by the Cleveland regime
amounting, all told, to nearly a third
of a billion dollars are paid off. If
any farmer can show us wherein he has
bsen benefited by the second Cleveland,
or "tariff reform" administration, we
should be pleased to hear from him
that Is, of course, any American farm
er. We Know or some canaaian iarm
ers who have been benefited.
One of the missing essentials to a
strong and vigorous anti-Cameron cru
sade Is an organization ot forces.
Nothing tells in politics like organiza
tion. There'll be a powerful one In
Cameron's behalf.
For a Late Convention.
A New Haven dispatch quotes Samuel
C Van r.den as authority for the state
ment that the Republican national
commlt'.ee is likely to call he national
c,vnver.t:;a tog-.ither next May. We
trust that Mr. Fcaojr.de n l as been mC3-
quc.'ed or cUe is Ill-informed.
The nexit naKccal cn'.ivcr. tbn rf twe
Republican party should be held In
S-Tterr.'ber, and the ensuing camra'n
should ta kept well wl'.'hin two mcnthfl"
time. This might ret picas? th pract'-
ci-.i politicians, whise employment It
wou'.'J rcitrict; but it would bo a vtry
wt'lccrme Innovation so far os Uio
mu'j'its or mo people 'ai? concernea, can
would result In an almost Incalculable
economy :o bir.'n3rs.
Tt will not take the voters of this re
public two months to reach tha conclu
sion that Democratic admrnistrallon Is
unsatisfactory, and that prosperity Is
:ured only wfucn the conduct of tho
government Is in honcslt Republican
handd.
This present talk of a posslblo war
with Great Britain over the territorial
dispute In Venezuela will probably not
curdle the blood of many Americans
while- the present administration Is In
rower. We cannot fancy England
guilty of an aggression sufficiently In
defensible to provoke Olney to wrath.
Three times as many buttons have
been Imported under tho Wilson-Gor
man tariff as were Imported during a
similar period tinder the McKlnley
tariff. Even to Its buttons, Democ
racy prefers to buy abroad, letting home
Industry starve.
Labby's surggestlon that Americans
save money 'by making titles of their
own Induces the suspicion that Labby
isn't acquainted with the Yankee col
lege commencement.
The esteemed Harrlsburg Patriot
sticks to It that the Republican fac
tion warfare must rekindle. The Pa
triot is too anxious.
COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
Call Terrell Home.
Pittsburg Commercial-Gazette: "Tho at
titude of Minister Terrell ot Constanti
nople In the matter of the Turkish out
rages committed upon Armenian Chris
tians Is disgraceful to the nation he he so
shamefully misrepresents. He has re
. i lve t so rmiclt attention from la- Turkish
autocrat that his giddy head seems to
have been turned, and his Inclination and
Instinct prompt him to 'bolster up the
Turkish authorities In their atrocities,
characterize tho suffering and oppressed
Armenians as 'fanatics,' and thereby In
suit the humane and enlightened aentl
ment of Christendom. Of all the foreign
representatives at 'the sublime porte,
he Is the only one who has not had the
moral courage to voice the sentiment of
the nation which ho assumes to repre
sent. To his mind the sultan can do no
wrong, and the whort civilized world
should acce-pt the finding of a Turkish
commission whose chief business Is to
conceal tha truth and Justify the most
flagrant outrages upon a helpless people.
It Is one of the mysteries which only 'Mr.
Cleveland can explain why he should have
selected Mr. Terrell of Texas to represent
the United States either ot Constanti
nople or anv other oourt. He has shown
himself wholy unfitted for diplomatic ser
vice of any kind. What Terrell ever did
to merit the distinction which Mr. Clove
land has conferred upon him cannot
readily be recalled by his fellow-cltlzens,
unless It should have been the production
of some dotrnerel verses glorifying J.
Wilkes Booth, the assassin of President
Lincoln. As minister to Turkey he is
clearly a misfit and cannot be called home
a day too soon."

Scranton Truth: "To pass o law, say
ing plainly what should be done, and then
to try and find a way to evade Jt Is not
exactly honest. Rvsn In Pennsylvania,
with its overwhelming majority, thor
must be some respect left for the Jewel of
fair play. To disregard the rights of the
minor Is virtually to disfranchise a
considerable portion of the population,
and even greed of 'power and plaxia' would
be no sufficient warrant for this. We ara
not on the border-land of barbarism where
'the good old rule' prevails, that thy
shall keep who have the power and thay
ball take who can. This, it seems to tie,
Is.the animating purpose of those who ad-
voca:e voting for the seven Baperlor court
Judges. It Is simnly using the giant's
trtnith as a giant without regard to fair
nets or corjoqueix'tt. Tho Truth ba no
partisan or other Interest In this matter,
beyond fair play : y ft It Is pleased to know
that there ore minds amo:vf the majority
that reject the Idea of taking all the
powor. The spirit In which the law was
passed la the right ono. It It the honest
nplrlt: and to seek an advantage of a con
stitutor al technicality, now, would be
unwotlhy of the RepuVlesn party and n
worthy of the sti to of Pennsylvania. Let
uj llvo up to the law."
