LONOSTREET, M. to ot Scranton, - For Surveyor. EDMUND A. BARTL, Of Scranton. Election day. Nov. 5. Brother SInRerly makes the novel plea that if the people of Pennsylvania will kindly elect the six Democratic candi dates for the Superior court bench, the next legislature will abolish the court and thus eliminate the whole perplexing: tangle. "We suspect, however, that this invitation will be declined. The New Superintendent. After a campaign of much spirit ar.d vlolisltud. Professor Oorfre Howell, for many years assistant principal of the high school, -was last evening elect ed superintendent of city schools, In place of Professor George Vv. Phillips, resigned. His only competitor. Profes sor Lange, received nine votes against twelve for (Professor Howell, showing that both gentlemen possess the confi dence of the community, with a narrow margin of choice between them. The fitness of Professor Howell for his new position cannot be questioned. Not only has his work as an instructor commanded for years the thorough ap preciation of his home constituency, but his fame as an educator has also penetrated to distant parts and won for him enviable rank among the foremost teachers of the state and of the coun try. In educational Journals of nation al circulation and from Institute ros trums In many states no less than In the smaller area of his own home field. Professor Howell has commanded at tention as an advocate of rational methods and a careful student of the philosophy underlying his vocation. The schools of the olty, already de veloped to a high degree of efficiency under the skilful and Indefatigable care of his predecessor, will not retrograde under their new pilotage, but will steadily advance along lines of healthy ETOWth. Tt Is, of course, unfortunate that Pro fessor Howell's success should tempor arily be coupled with another worthy educator's disappointment; but Profes sor Lange is far too liberal a man to carry the fair contest beyond Its fair decision. Me will recognize that the victory of his reeen't competitor In volved no verdict of censure upon his own services, but was rather a fortune of war, to which each man becomes liable who enters the competitive field. And In this spirit he and his friends will promptly accord to Professor Howell the same loyal support and staunch co operation which would have been ex pected from the present victor and his supporters had the result been reversed. A short time ago the Philadelphia 'Record was ardently advocating the recognition by this government of the revolting Cubans. Now It suddenly discovers that "the Cuban Insurgents have not attained the first prerequisite of lawful belligerency." The Record must have received orders from 'Wash ington. The Fight In Luzerne. The Republicans of Luzerne are at last Cully aroused to the Importance of making a determined battle for the defeat of the Democrats In their greed to capture the entire common pleas bench of tJhat county. The Democratic leaders are becoming alarmed at the large number of conservative men In their own party who are opposed to a partisan judiciary. Judge llennett, the Republican nominee, Is an Ideal non partisan. (During all 4he years he has resided In iLuzerne county he has never taken an active part In partisan cam paigns. He has steadfastly adhered to the Republican party, and voted the ticket of that .party, but has abstained from participation In conventions and all mere partisan contests. He was nominated for Judge by the Republicans, not as a recognition of service rendered to that party, but sole ly on account of his eminent fitness for the Judiciary. His defeat when he was a candidate for judge a few years ago was due to peculiar political condi tions which do not now exist. The Re publicans of Luzerne are heartily unit ed In their support of Judge Bennett, and they are being quietly but effective ly aided by a large body of conserva tive Democrats, who believe - In the great principle of a non-partisan Judic iary. According to the Chicago Times-Herald, "all signs Indicate thai Mr. Cleve land will be himself a candidate for the third-term nomination; and that. If he fail to overturn the unwritten law, as he assuredly will, . Richard Olney, of Massachusetts, will be his candidate." Well, the bottling up of Olney would be performed to the queen's taste. The report that the president's forth coming message will, with respect to audacity and fooihardiness, be a com panion in kind to the celebrated "tariff reform" blast of 1887 Is probably apo chryphal. Still, Cleveland Is an uncer tain quantity. The Superior Court Act. There need be no anxiety or concern on account of the pendlnar decision In the matter of the Superior court act. The opinion of the Dauphin county court decides nothing and Is only a pre liminary step to bringing the matter before the court of last resort. Whether that court decides that voters may cast a ballot for seven candidates or only six. will not be likely to materially af fect the result of the election. The Re publicans will not In any event have a seventh candidate in the field and the most they would or could do might e to prlve each of the Democratic candi dates a little boom in the particular county In which each resides. Even if tho decision of the Supreme court should atllrm Judge Slmonton nml vot ers be permitted to oast a ballot for seven candidates It is altogether proba ble thut a very large majority of Re publicans and Democrats would vote a straight ticket and that would mean a ballot for only six candidates for Su perior court judges. The decision, whatever It may be, will not require the electors to vote for seven candidates in order to validate their ballots. A ballot for six, or one or none at nil will be just ns valid as If the full number of candidates were on It. Whatever the Supreme court decision may be one of the seven Democratic nominees for Superior court Judge will Inevitably be elected. Vndor the Simon ton decision the Republicans might de cide which one It shall be, but even that Is not certain. In Allegheny and adjoining counties the Republicans would very largely vote for Judge Masee. In the northwest for Judge Noyes, In the northeast for Judge Smith, in the southeast for Judge Yerkes, and In central western counties for Judge iMoorhead, of Westmoreland county. Many Democrats would nat urally vote for one or the other of the Republican candidates, but in counties where neither party has a candidate a very large majority of men of all par ties would vote a straight ticket, and for six candidates only. It will be seen that the final decision of the courts with reference to the Su perior court act Is of comparatively lit tle real Importance as affecting the re sult of the election. It Is not assumed by any authority, so far as we know, that there Is any probability that the Supreme court will render a decision Invalidating the en tire act creating the Superior court. As we understand the situation the only question the court of last resort will pass upon is whether seven can didates may 'be voted for or voters be restricted1 to six. The only provision of the act attacked as unconstitutional Is that restricting electors to six candi dates when seven are to be elected. Considered from any standpoint the effect of the Supreme court decision cannot seriously affect the situation as it was before the question was. raised. It U entirely credible that the "sec retary of the treasury wants to put the responsibility of meeting the accrued treasury deficit on congress." That responsibility is well calculated to make Messrs. Cleveland and Carlisle feel tired. Probably Unfounded Fear. The Philadelphia Times fears that If Judge Simonton's decision as to the unconstitutionality of the Superior court act's restrictive clause be sus tained We must be relegated back to the old constitution of HOH in all things which have not been finally and Irrevocobly de termined. If the court Is right In this rase there was no constitutional conven tion of 1S73-4; it was simply a la wless body and no more empowered to amend the con stitution of the state than were the munic ipal councils of Philadelphia. Two of the present Judges of the Supreme court would of necessity retire because their enlarged term was created by a tribunal that had no lawful existence. Aseoreor more of per sons have been executed for napltal crimes by verdicts found by Jurors drawn without warrant of law, and whose verdicts would under this ruling have been set aside. Hundreds of thousands of dollars of property have had title determined by jurors which were un lawfully chosen, and In many Instances by courts whloh had no Inwful existence. Kleotlons have been held in the common wealth for generations In which the votes were received and returned by unlawful election boards, and during; all the years, and with all these Important polit ical and Judicial operations, no lawyer of the commonwealth was sufficiently as tute to discover that in elections, and In trials for life, liberty and property, and In the organisation of courts, and even In the creation of the convention to revise our supreme law, we have been utterly lawless. The possible perils apprehended by our contemporary will doubtless not come to pass, for the reason that the Supreme court will hardly take upon Itself the responsibility of undoing, at so late a day, a principle grounded In years of successful observance. 1 r The Republican newspapers In va rious sections of the state are begin ning to realize that If Senator Don Cameron Is to be defeated for re-election to the United States senate those who are opposed .to him will have to organize, and, if possible, unite on some prominent and acceptable Republican for that high office. Opposition to the senior senator's return to the senate will amount to no more In 1896 than it did in 1890, If the opposition does not crystallze on some candidate with whom to antagonize him. There are a dozen Republicans In that portion of the state which Is entitled to the sen atorshlp who would dignify the office and reflect credit upon the Republican party, and on the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Those who are opposed to Senator Cameron should come to gether on a candidate and then organ Ize for the battle next year In the elec tion of members of the legislature, That Is .the only effective way to defeat the senior senator. His ' friends will be compactly organized, and they will see to it that friends of the senior senator are nominated for senator and repre sentatives In evory. Republican dis trict. They will work quietly but effec tively, as they always have. One of the expedients said to be under contemplation by the Democratic deficit makers for replenishing the yawning treasury Is an Internal tax on medi cines, cosmetics, firearms and all legal forms ot commercial paper. Such a method of taxation has hitherto been tolerated only during grave emergen cies, such, for example, as the recent war. Its suggestion In time of peace Is an eloquent confession of Democratic failure. The refusal of Captain General Cam pos to recognize our consul at Havana, Mr. Williams, in his ofilclal capacity might be modified If Uncle Sam would aim a timely lift of 'his foot in the di rection of the arrogant Spaniard's per son. And It's about time to do that, on general principles. And now Dickinson, of Michigan we mean, of course, the aerial Don rises to remark that Sackvllle-West Is an uss. This experUoplnion ought to be accepted As final. Mr. Cleveland regards four mouths as about the right size of an annual vaca tion, but it won't be long until he can make It twelve. The trouble with the Allison boom ap pears to be premature ripening. Tit IE AMEilR'AXtoM. Senator Burrows, ut Chlcugo.

It demands the restoration of the AinerUi:!! nujes to the American workmen, it demands that the American market shall be preserved to the American purchaser, und that he ahull ut least Le given uu equul chunce in his own murk-.-t with his foreign rival. It demands a tai 111, not fur revenue only, but such a rate of duty ns will yield sulticient revenue for tne support ot the government, und shall at the same time be so adjusted ns to pro tect, inainiain anu diversity American In dUMtries and give employment to Ameri. can labor. True Aniericanb in suggests thut if any mills must be shut down they Hhull not be our own; that if any labor is out of employment It shull be foreign la bor una not American labor. True Amer icanism demands that the American mar ket shall be open to the free Importation of all articles of luxuries the like of which we do rot or cannot produce, while im posing sufficient duties on articles we do not produew to measure tho difference in the cost of production at home and abroad. It demands that when foreign competing products enter Our markets it shall be on the level of the American wage and Amer ican nome. we will permit foreigners to "ompete with us In our own market on our level, but will never consent to be dragged down to theirs. In a word, true Americanism demumls tha.t this nation shall resume Its place In the van of ihe In dustrial nations of the world and march unimpeded on In the course of its high destiny. True Americanism also demands a finan cial system, whutever it may be in its de tails, that shall not impair the public credit or impeach the public faith. It cannot be adjusted in the interest of any state or section of the country. It is a national question, demanding the broad est national treatment. True American ism takes unbounded pride in the integrity of the nation and In the reflection that the rejubllc never yet repudiated a dollar of its obligations or broke faith with a single creditor. Our financial standing must be maintained, and true American Ism demands that every dollar Issued by this government, whether of gold, silver or paper, shull, in its purchasing and debt paying power, be the equivalent of every other dollar, and second to none among the nations of the earth. Further, true Americanism demands such a modification of our Immigration laws as shall permit the peace and good order of society and the stability and well being of the state. While I am aware this country has ever been regarded as the asy lum of the oppressed, it never ought to lie considered the refugei of the criminal. While the gates of Castle Garden are open to the deserving, they should be for ever looked and barred to all those who would coma to us Imbued with the spirit of hostility to our Institutions and our laws. There Is no room for the anarchist on American soil, no place for the flag of the commune in the American iky. Finally, true Amerloanism demands a foreign policy which, while evading the extremes of jingoism, shall not expose the nation to the imputation of cowardice; a foreign policy whloh will serve notice to all tho world that the United States will not hesitate to enforce and maintain the Monroe doctrine against any foreign na tion, however powerful, whether the ag. gresslnn IS attempted In Venezuela or on the Islands of the sea; a foreign policy which will not attempt to set up foreign thrones or depose monarchs, or turn a deaf ear to the appeals of a people strug gling t our very door for tho right of self-governement. In a word, true Amer icanism demands a foreign policy which shall at all times comport with the dignity and the traditions of our people. COMMENT OF THE PRESS. Nothing to flrag About. Cleveland Leader: "The reduction of wases which began In l.SM and continued through l'SM and 18!il, amounted, on the average, to W per cent., as has been proved by thorough Investigation. The actual losses to labor by Ihcre reductions during the two years and a half were nt leust a billion dollars, nn average of t'M for each of tho live million workers, or about JSW a yenr. The average advance of 10 per cent, received by SHMKiO workers means a restor ation of ii limit half the loss, or Ho a year. For the half year since last April the re storation has amounted to $20. For the 800,000 who have received the Increase of 10 pr cent the restorullon nmounts to Jl, 000.000. In brief hut l,0no,0(.l of the ll.OOO,. WO.OOO lost (luring the Democratic panic has been restored to labor. Hut 200,000 per sons have been benefited by thut restora tion. Four million eight hundred thou sand workers are still waiting for Ihe re storation of a loss of tnM.Oon.Ooo. That is tho length nnd breadth of the benefit which the working people of the United States have received from the Wilson Gorman law, nnd It doesn't seem to bo much to brng about." Leaders Nowadays Aro Servants. St. Louis Olohc-pcmoernt: "The states men of our period, arc not leaders In tho sense of being nblo to dictate the course of parties and the drift of public opinion. When one of I'hem attempts to manage things In nn arbitrary way, he Is quickly put aside nnd given to understand that ho must subordinate himself to those wyvio votes finally settle nit controversies. There Is no lack of respect for genuine ability nnd n,preciallon of honest and useful service; but neither Is there any In clination to plucco men on pedetals and make them objects of worship. The right Is always reserved to rebuko or discard them in case they assert themselves be yond a certnin limit, forgetful of Ihe fact that they are servants, not masters; and thus there is no onporttinlty for tho ex istence of lenders like those who appenred In former times." Mr. Cleveland's Failure. Altoona Tribune: "No man ran ever tell what Is going to become of him. Now there was Mr. Clevelund, who started out on the 4th of March, 1HP3, to become a second Washington, and who has so Ig nomlnously failed that his party is In des perate straits. And yet the poor man means well," HOW We Could Help Cuba. Chicago .Times-Herald: "If we are not ready to assume all material as well as moral responsibility for the island; If we are not prepared to offer purchase money or forcibly to annex, or, with money and munitions of war, to become architects of Cuban emancipation, with its unknown sequences, we ought at least to ask Spain to give Cuba local self-government. That g rented, let the Cubans demonstrate their ability to rule themselves, and that abll Hv once demonstrated, separation from Spain, a ntw political attachment of their own omosing, or complete autonomy would be for the future to decide."
