BAttTU of Seranton. Election day. Nov. 5. It Is doubly t'ssiont:.il that every Re publican should this year take a per gonal Interest in the eampalRn. For one reason, that would demonstrate the common loyalty of both of the recent factions; and for the other, It would put the party in proper snaps for presi dential year. Pennsylvania ought to return at least a 200,000 Republican plurality. To a Critic. Tr. another place we plve space to a communication from an esteemed cor respondent, Mr. Charles E. Bradbury, sharply criticizing a news article In yesterday's Tribune concerning, the quest of the county commissioners for a gallows sufficiently ample to satisfy the multiplying demands of Justice In Lackawanna county. Jlr. Bradbury thinks that The Tribune's allusions to this subject were brutal, flippant and In bad taste; and Intimates that the viewing of the death penalty in such a epii'lt 'tends to weaken popular rever ence for law and authority. Without pausinrr to debate this phase of the question, which Is largely deter mined by personal temperament, we de sire to suggest that our critic scan the records of crime In ithls vicinity and see If he can perceive In the operation of the death penalty virtues which would Justify the mention of it with reverent Intonation and bated breath. Has it acted as a preventive of murder? Is homlcli-al crime on Ohe wane of Its en homicldal crime on the wane be cause of Its enactment Into the corrjmor.-wealth's criminal law? Is t'ho spestacle of a presumably Chn'.L'an society using its po lice enginery to fight murder with mur der, to visit vengeance upon vengeance, to add to the crime of Moodshed in Ig norance and in passion the greater crime of retributive bloodshed planned deliberately and executed in cold design such as to Inspire in the average observer sentiments of grati tude, respect anil deep-seated venera tion? The very coincidence of three mur derers awaltlr.ir In one Jail the common butchery which Is none the less a butchery because mistakenly consum mated In the name of a barbaric law Fhould be sufficient to the average on looker 'to rf.move any preconceived no tions about the sanctity of human slaughter or dispel any superficial faith in punishments which are not primari ly corrective. The article of which com plaint Is made was not penned serious ly; but when you study the question In a serious mood, It still about fits the faet.. Governor Altgeld, of Illinois, denies that he expects a renominatlon. lie is evidently on reading terms with the In evitable. Mr. Olney's Opportunity. It seems to be agreed by those In daily communication with the chief offi cials of the state department that the dispute wlthGrcat Britain relative to the ownership of certain disputed land in Venezuela has reached a stage of more than passing importance. The exact is sue is not readily Intelligible to lay men; but in general terms It may be de scribed as an Issue touching the ques tion whether ithe British empire shall. In violation of treaty concessions made toy Venezuela to a number of American citizens, seize upon and claim rich terri tory along the fertile Orinoco river hitherto recognized as belonging to the Venezuelan republic. ' The English for eign office Is understood to have Mid In as many words that It will have this land, regardless of protests; and a mes sage in yesterday afternoon's papers announced the - dispatch of English troops to the territory In question, os tensibly to supplement argument with force. The American position is currently although unofficially reported to be that the question of the original ownership of the tract Included in the American concession shall be submitted to arbi tration. It is asserted upon credible although not positive, authority that our ambassador to the , court of St. James, (Mr. Bayard, has been Instructed to present the request for an arbitra tion as our ultimatum in the -matter. Similar report aver that the Eng-Ush government has. given Air. Bayard to understand that it will dealt n to accede to this request, and that it will not rec ognize the right of Venezuela to grant a patent for any part of the territory In dispute. These are the current ru mors concerning the subject. How true they are can only be conjectured in the absence of direct Information from Sec retary Olney. Of course, if England has actually declined to arbitrate the ownership of territory newly claimed by her and has really sent troops to the scene for bul lying purposes, the only consistent thing for the Cleveland administration to do is to lay the correspondence be fore congress and ask Its permission to dispatch other forces there to put the Britishers out. We dare say the nego tiations have not yet reached this stage. The officials of the British foreign of fice are probably taking Secretary Ol ney's measure. If he shows grit, they will weaken at the conclusion. Other wise, they will grab all they can, and once having forced a point in despite of the iMonroe doctrine, they will pro ceed to turn up their nose at that enun ciation with true AnRltcan contempt, and lay plans for other land-grabs wherever their territorial passion di rects. This would certainly seem to be Mr. Olney's opportunity. Will he prove equal to it? There are no new reasons why Fltts burg should not have the next Republi can national convention; and there is one good new reason why It should It has practically raised the necessary guarantee fund. Mrs. Swan's View of Charity. The paper of -Mrs. Swan defining real charity, which was read yesterday In Philadelphia, before the State conven tion of poor board directors, and which we elsewhere reproduce, will repay cartful perusal. It Is the thoughtful product of a lady who has made the subject a life study, and who has en Joyed exceptional facilities for acquir ing practical knowledge concerning It. The gist of Mrs. Swan's argument Is that chari:y Is worse than wasted which does not inspire In Its recipient the Instinct of selNhelp. The careless proffering of money or Its equivalent to person3 In real or pretended misfortune is not only a mistake, since It neglects to appeal to their gratitude or pride and makes no discrimination between merit and Imposture, but It Is often an unlnter.l'lonal affront, tending to drive into cjnflrmed mendicancy those who by proper stimulation and encourage ment mlgh't be led out of a momentary emergency into industry, thrift and In dependence. Mrs. San is especially sharp in her condemnation of much of the charity which obtains among the churches, on the ground that it Is super ficial, Indiscriminate and therefore sub versive of its recipients' self respect. On the contrary, ghe speaks in terms of earnest praise concerning those more practical phases of organized benevol ence of which the free kindergarten and the manual training school are familiar types. These manifestations of the eleemosynary spirit she "places at the very top 'of the column. In conspicuous token of the effectiveness and perma nence of their influences for good. The paper as a wihjle Is thoughtful and well-considered; and Its philosophy stands approved by practical exper ience. Marlborough, It Is understood, will get a bonus of J3.000.000, while his bride will receive $10,000,000 additional. Be ing a duke pays. Under Sentence of Death. Three men, convicted of murder in the first degree, are now In the county Jail. Capital punishment has never been Inflicted In Lackawanna. For reasons very generally understood, many red-handed and cold-blooded murderers have escaped the extreme penalty. The Increase of capital crime In this county may or may not have been the result of the numerous fail ures to convict when the evidence war ranted verd'ets of murder In the first degree. However that may be, It is evident that the time has come when capital punishment will follow the com mission of capital crime. It Is a pe culiar and noticeable fact that all of the three men who have been convicted In this county and presumably will be executed in the near future, belong to Ignorant foreign classes that have of recent years come into this valley. Nei'thdr of the three Is a citizen of the Uniited States, and neither of them can speak or understand the English language. They belong to a class of men who have not 'learned the customs of western civilization and know noth ing of our laws. The law does not take cognizance of Ignorance as an ex tenuating circumstance. There Is an other fact connected with all three of the cases under consideration that de serves attention. Bezek, Hoschino and Rosa are all poor men .and compara tively friendless certainly they are without Influential friends. Neverthe less, to the great credit of the Im partiality of our Judicial system be It said, they had as fair trials and as earnest efforts were made to save them from the extreme penalty of the law as If they were surrounded by Influential friends and had boundless wealth nt their command. In no county in Pennsylvania has there been greater reluctance on the part of Juries to convict of murder In the first degree than In Lackawanna. Only after nearly two decades have a few of the many murderers been brought under the shadow of .the gal lows. Efforts to save the three con victed men have not yet been aban doned. The numerous avenues of es cape have not yet all been traversed. In two cases the Supreme court has not yet been appealed! to for a new trial. In the third the board of pardons will yet be asked to Interpose clemency. We have said that these convicted men belong to an Ignorant class; a class that is reckless and vicious as well as Ignorant. An enormous proportion of the crime committed in this county is by the class to which Bezek, Boschino and Rosa belong, as may be seen by the court records. ' Is it not possible to bring to bear upon these people some influence that will tend to make them better, or at least to restrain their vl olousness? This is a problem the an thracite coal fields must grapple with in the near future. These ptople must either be brought under h Influences of civilization, law and morality, or they must be compelled to emigrate elsewhere. They are becoming a men ace to the peace of the community and a heavy burden to the taxpayers. The people of Seranton doubtless feel duly impressed with the importance of the fact that "the government," in the person of Colonel Colquitt, of the in ternal revenue service. Is temporarily among them. The fact that it Is not wholly massed In the vicinity of Buz sard's Bay is cause for congratulation. Senator 'Pascoe, of Florida, says he already has a resolution in his pocket calling for the recognition by congress of the Cuban llnsurgents. The sena tor will have to speak quickly, when congress meets, for there will be Vigor ous competition for the honor of In troducing that kind of a resolution. An amendment to the constitution making the presidential term six years, without the privilege of Immediate re election, would cure several of the ills from which American politics periodi cally suffers. AVe believe that such an amendment will one day be adopted. The New York Sun's Philadelphia correspondent intimates that Senator Cameron's successor may be Jack Rob inson, of Delaware. Yes, and it may be Cameron, himself In fact, It will be If Pennsylvania Republicans "don't watch out." If Olney has been anxiously awaiting a pretext to Jump in, what Is the mat ter with Spain's treatment of Consul General Williams? How much Spanish arrogance dees It take to supply Olney with a workable pretext? A reform movement has developed In the city of Syracuse, and threatens to eleot ex-Congressman Belden mayor on an independent, non-partisan ticket. Mr. iklden Is the right kind of mayor alty material. Chairman Quay has decided to re main in Philadelphia at state head quarters until the tight is all over. 'He Is evidently of the opln'lon that It is a leader's place to lead. AN LMKKKSmti PRECEDENT. From the Times-Herald. The ninth amendment to the constitu tion of the Untied States reads: "The powers not delegated to the United States liy the constitution nor prohibited by it to the states are reserved to the states re spectively or to the people." The first paragraph of the geeonil section of Ar ticle III. of the constitution, touching Ju dicial power, makes the federal courts ex clusively Jurisdictional .In questions be tween a state or the citizens thereof and foreign states, citizens or subjects. It has been assumed by foreign govern ment from time to time that under this prescription a sovereign state of the fed eral union might be eoeroeJ Into consid eration of such questions as those aris ing, for example, out of damages claimed by the heirs of soma of the Italians whose lives wero taken by a New Orleans mob. Hut, as was clearly laid down by X!r. Blaine In the correspondence on that sub ject, tho Judicial power of the United States cannot cross the threshold of a duly organized state court. Italy was with out recourse exuept on appeal to con gress for a gratuity or to 'the state depart ment for discrtrt use of funds placed law fully at its disposal for such purposes. While Italy could not reach the sov ereign state of Louisiana by any route known to the federal constitution, Judi cial or executive, to obtain redress for In juries to Italian subjects, the government of Grout Britain has found a way to cross the threshold of the sovereign stata of New York to secure pardon for a subject of her majesty serving sentence for com mission of a crime under the luws of that state. The case was one Involving not Ju dicial but executive clemency. The Brit ish subject's pardon was prayed to Gov ernor Morton; and as soon as friends of John Oui'tin Kent, a citizen of the state of New York, learned this, they suggested that her majesty's government release Kent as a courtesy In return for enlarge ment of the British subject. Kent dy ing In a British penitentiary for having engaged in an attempt, accocrding to an Informer's testimoony, against the sover elRnty of her majesty In Ireland, hl na tive county. The exchange of civil prls oners was effected. State rights' loctrlhe thus acquires frfsh and In some respects novel Interest. The precedent in the citsfe is suggestive of largo possibilities. These possibilities are'. It is true, narrowed by conceivable neces sary conditions. But In their narrowest vista tho pollticnj consequences Involved are of high Importance. Under the Inter pretation accepted In the New York case Mates of the American union may have tllrect relations with foreign governments to a degree assuredly not contemplated by one school of American statesmen. Arising out of this Interpretation of tho power of the state of New York, whose constitutionality Is above dispute, for eign governments reach even Amerirnn legislatures Indirectly; and state elections may yet turn upon Issues thnt may he pro jected Imto campaigns In relation to con troversies between Individual states and foreign powers. It may yet be npcff.sory to amend tho constitution of tho United States so as to avert complications not beyond possibil ity under nn olartlc use of state constitu tional reserve. In what direction sm-h amendment would be approved Is a prob lem whose discussion Is not likely to be either brief or passionless. POLITICAL POINTS. The Philadelphia Press remarks that "there Is net a Republican paper In Penn sylvania that In advocating the re-election of Senator Cameron." That may bo true, but If the Press Imagines that thr re are no Cameron pnprrs In this stHte tt labors under a serious mlstaks. When Cameron gives' the word ithey will be quick enough to "advocate" his caue. The propitious time has not yet come to do the "advocat ing." That sterling Republican paper, tho Bucks County Intelligencer, would like to sec some prominent Republican brought to the front on whom the opponents of J. Imnsld Cameron can unite for United Stntcs senRtor. The Intelligencer prefers a I'hllndfllphlnn, but fears those who are opposed to the re-election of the senior senator will wait, as umial, until Cam eron has secured enough support to win. Democratic organs ought to bo willing to admit by this time that Secretary Ol ney Is no Improvement on the Into Secre tary Oresham as tho head of the state de partment. Thn fact Is that the one was not and the other Is not greater than his master, Orover Cleveland. South Carolina Is following in the wake of Mlsnlrslppl In disfranchising the nsro voters by constitutional provision. This will enable the whte Democratic minor ity of South Carolina to carry all elections without ballot-box stuffing or negro kill ing. The only member of the legislature that will elect the next United States senator, who has declared against Cameron, Is Senator Kauffman, of Lancaster, one of thn counties supposed to ba owned, polit ically, by Mr. Cameron. Colonel Ollkeson Is the only chairman of a Republican state committee who ever had any money to turn over to hla suc cesoor at the clove of his term of service. Usually the chairman reports a deficit. Anywhere from twenty to forty Lucerne county Republicans have signified their willingness to serve as delegates to the next Republican nation! convention. COMMENT OF THE PRESS. Keep an F.ye on Allison. Philadelphia Press; "The weatherwlse obsf-ver who may be Interested In the next Republican nomination for the presi dency will keep a watchful eye on Sena tor Allison, of Iowa. There are not a few signs In the political sky that point In his direction. He may or may not be nominated, but there are Indications that he will ba a greater factor In the contest of WW that he has ever been heretofore. He has many elements of strength and avoilabllty, and It might easily happen that In a strenuous and even struggle be tween mora pronouced and active aspir ants Senator Allison may come to the front s a candidate equally acceptable to all. His great public experience, bis practical sagacity, his sound and safe leadership ami his wise moderation give him many points of advantage and eligi bility." Why the Prediction Is True. St. Louis Globe-Democrat: "One of the Rothschilds expresses the opinion that within live years the United States will be the moot prosperous nation in the world. It Is easy to agree with him In view of the fuet that 'within live years' Is sure to In clude over three years of Republican rule." Already Punished Enough. St. Louis Globe-Democrat: "A movo ment Is on foot in Hartford. Vt., to dis miss a pastor for voting for Cleveland. If the e'ongregution will only think of the remorse tho poor mas 'has suffered no fur ther action will be taken." AnJ They Ought To. A'toona Tribune: "Parents may not have the time to visit the public schools very often, but they cun overlook the rt utiles of their children closely enough to see how they are getting on." Even tho Indians Would Rebel. Chicago Times-Herald: "Tho proposi tion to have tho Corbett-Fltsslmmons tlht tuke place on tt government reser vation Is liable to cause another Indian outbreak."
