Roll Up a najorlty for Wlllard.
Tt Is not too late to make another
earnest appeal to the voters of Lnnlt
awanna county In the In half of one of
their number who. thl3 year, for the
first time In an extended life-time filled
with sacrifices for others, appears be
yforo them as a candidate for an elect
Vive office. The cnndldacy of Judge
Wlllard Is not In dnnfter. There Is no
reason to believe that It will not re
ceive, throughout the state, practically
the same support which will be accord
ed to his five Republican colleagues on
the bench of the Superior court. Nei
ther lo there doubt as to that candi
dacy's success In this county. Judge
tVitlnrd will carry his homo county.
This Is generally conceded. So far as
his personal success Is concerned,
therefore, there Is absolutely no cause
for apprehension. Ho will be elected a
Judge of the Superior court of Pennsyl
vania by a plurality llttl?. If any, be
low that cast for the distinguished Oa
lusha A. Grow In Febrtiary, 1S04. .
The only point concerning which
there Is dubiousness Is the size of Mr.
Wlllard's plurality In Lackawanna
' county. For obvious reasons that
should be extraordinarily large. Mr.
Wlllard was the first choice of an over
whelming majority of tha citizens of
this county, Democrats as well as Re
publicans, when his name was original
ly proposed for gubernatorial consider
ation. Not only was he early In the
field, thus fairly entitling his candi
dacy to tho advantages of priority, but
ho was also urged upon the governor
With great earnestness because, entire
ly apart from personal or political con
siderations, he represented to an un
usual degree both the practical and the
technical knowledge which were needed
on the bench of a court dealing finally
with many Important cases arising in
the anthracite coal fields. This latter
clement of fltnesB procured for his can
didacy before the governor both verbal
and written Indorsements from men
who, had tho question beer, one of poli
tics alone, would have been arrayed It)
the Democratic column.
Nothing has occurred since that orig
inal Indorsement to change the potency
of these claims upon the support of
Judge Wlllard's friends and neighbors,
Irrespective of politics. He still re
mains the representative of the leading
anthracite coal field upon the new
court's banch; and although reinforced
by tho appointment of Judge Rice, is
pre-eminently the candidate of Lack
awanna county and consequently en
titled to the largest plurality ever given
In that county to a state candidate.
These considerations, which proved
paramount five months ago, ought to
prove equally so next Tuesday. In a
peculiar sense tho honor of the county
Is at stake In this matter. Judge Wll
lard could, If necessary, lose this coun
ty and still be elected; but this county
. could not neglect Its duty to him with
out writing itself down among the
counties of the state as an lngrate, de
void o a sense of courtesy and honor.
Kvery consideration of decency, con
sistency and self-respect, therefore,
urges upon the voters of Lackawanna
to rally In forco next Tuesday and roll.
Up a rousing testimonial to the candi
dacy of B. N. Wlllard.
Senator Chandler's openness to a war
engagement Is quite 'South Asnfliv.!i.
. As to Spelling Reform.
A new theory In spelling reform la
' propounded by a writer in the Pittsburg
IMspa'tdh, who argues that inasmuch
as the punctuation mark now placed at
the end o a sentence determines tho
inflection ct line voice la reading, It
would facilitate a comprehension of tho
sentence's meaning If the punotuaitlon
mark were placed flrut. For example,
suppose ono, while reading aloud, wert
. to find lbs xolimation,i"What, a farce
; t& All 1st" be would tiot know, until
Ms rye r.i1 first scanned the wliole
phraso wfocSher to conclude with the
l.i.i.K or luc lallliU' . uiiitfclKm. Wil
der 'the proposed new system, however,
he would ece at once. Inasmuch as tho
content would be printed, "IWJiat a
firco 'this all Is"
The proposition, tt firrt glarco, looks
France, but It obviously has much to
corr.-.ncn'l it. The 'tendency of the times
U ur,'m:s'i.akably toward slmpllfica't.ion

There ba.s of late been considerable
ditci:ss;n eC the subject of Interest on
the la rare -taOar.ws which the oaonmon
wealth is aiecustcimed to keeip deposited
anions a r.umber of designated banks.
The curiam for years 'has been to put
tills money out without re'ferer.oo to
the ejmEtIon of Intereet. If any Inter
est ha3 ever been laid, the state has
naver received it; and the natural sus
picion Is that the reoiplants of that
Interest we're either the state treasur
er a, lnelivldually, the dominant party
ruler, or various campaign committees,
which used It In the payment of iKillti
cal expensed. This FU'bJeet will no doubt
be taken up by tihe next legislature, In
roe'Jle.r.ce to the 'reform plank of tho
last Hi'publlcftn state convention. It
property belongs to the province ef lejt-
bJatijn; and the common'wealth
should, by ppeietific statute, preferlbo
the disposition and rate of Interest Oti
reserve fund3 btioiifilng to It.
Kut, whatever shall be done In this
direction, It will reassure the people
of the titatu to know that when th.ey
elect Colonel Haywood treasurer, they
will put In ofllee a thoroughly honest
and trustworthy man, who would bo
the first to ca'-opera'te vi'th the state
legislature in the formulation of meas
ures for the correction of long- stand
ing abuses In hils department.
A vote cast for Dr. Samuel P. Long

for competency and conscientiousness
In public ofllee.
Enforce the Party Platform.
When, at Harrlsburg, last August, ait
the conclusion of the exciting battle for
party supremacy w'hlch culminated In
Senator Quay's success, the victorious
leader from-Beaver lntrdduced a plank
pledging the RepuljU'ean party In Penn
sylvania to a sweeping programrao of
radical public reforms, there were those
who. In view of Senator Quay's past
record and associations, seemed dis
posed to question the sincerity of his
action. It Is possible that that smile
of incredulity which then ran round
the occupants of the Harrlsburg opera
house has .not yet wholly disappeared.
It Is possible that there are Republi
cans who yet lo not feel equal to tho
task of regarding that succinctly word
ed but potentially dynamic paragraph
as embodying en honest an' J: genuine
purpose.
To such ve desire to suggest that $he
party Itself, in adopting that platik
without a dissenting voice, becomes re
sponsible for Its observance, hence It
need .fid , ' affect the ultimate result
whether Senator Quay really meant all
that hls 'words signify, or whether they
Were elmply the verbal Juggle of a poli
tician expert In the enactment of sensa
tional roles. Our own opinion Is that
the senator meant at least enough of
his plank to render his new attitude a
powerful reinforcement to the cause
of genuine reform. Hut whether ho was
or Is sin-cere or tricky, candid or artful,
need give 110 Republican pause. Tho
programme ceased to bo Senator
Quay's programme the moment It was
adopted by the JU-publlcan party; and
It 'Will be the fault and tho shame of
that party, now and forevermore. If
determined effort Kball not be made to
secure Its practical and systematic en
forcement wherever the evils com
plained of exist or are suspected to ex
ist. We must frankly say that wo do not
see why tihe past or present pergonal at
titude of Senator Quay' toward Illegal
corporate 'Interference In politics and
legislation, toward Jobbery or favorit
ism in the granting of public privileges
or the Issuing of public franchises, or
toward any or all of the other specifica
tions of Ill-doing which the recent state
convention pledged Itself to correct
slioul'd .be urged es an excuse for the
hoh-redcmiptlon of that pledge. Surely
the Republican party of the state of
Pennsylvania Is big enough to approach
Its duty without regaiUI to the personal
Inclination of any of Its members. In
saying this we do not wish to signify
indlfferenca to,. Senator Quay's pur
poses, not' to overlook the value of bis
co-operaitlon ;in the-' working out of
promised reforms! .we delre, rathw, to
bring t n party ft wools to realising

luggest to Individual Republicans f.vs

Rochester Post-Express: "Evidently

From the Wyoming Republican.
Potatoes ure nonerally consldored a
protttable crop for the farmer to raise.
Although In years when the crop yields
heavy the price Is down, still the price to
tho farmer who raises potatoes every year
averages from 3o to 40 cents per bushel,
thus making It a prutltable business.
When the crop Is snort and the price
ranges from 75 cents to $1.-6 per bushel,
there Is always a ready home market for
this crop, and It should bo tho same In
years when the yield Is large and the
price Is low. it Is the destruction of thu
home market which pinches the farmer's
pocketbook, und not the lower prices. This
year potatoes are plenty and the prlco Is
down to 25 and BO cents per bushel.
:o:
Tho Wyoming county farmer has a homo
market for his crop or thinks he hus
but on going to the usual market (Scran
ton) he llnds the railroad yards tilled with
cars loaded with potatoes. He naturally
Inquires where these potatoes canto from,
and Is told they are frosh from Canada.
What encouragement can tne rarmer gain
from such a stnte of affairs? Who Is re
sponsible for It? The Republican con
gress passed a tariff law placing a tariff
of 2!i cents per bushel of sixty pounds on
potatoes. VVejj there any potatoes from
Canada in tho o. -ronton market during the
life of that law? The Democrats en mo
Into power, and tho result was u very low
tariff law In fact, free trade. The rate
placed on potatoes was "thirty per centum
ad valorum." This would bring the tariff
on that product down to VA cents por
bushel this year, thus allowing the farm
ers of Canada to compete with our own
farmers, and Hood our home market with
potatoes. What does tho Wyoming coun
ty farmer get in return, In the way of mar
kot, or otherwiso, from Canada?
:o:
It Is plain to see that the Democratic
party must shoulder the responsibility
for this deplorable state of affairs, and
yot thoy have the "cheek" to ask the
farmer to support their candidates! What
fnrmer In Wyoming county can afford to
give his whole potato crop toward tho
support of tho Democratic party? If you
depend on the Scranton market for the
sale of your potatoes, a vote for the Dem
ocratic party this fall virtually amounts
to handing over your produce to that
party, which has taken away your mar
ket and left the crdps on your hands. In
stead of the money you ihotild have for it
In your pocket. This Is only one of the
farm products which have been affected.
Wo might mention wool and grain, but
this Is nothing new to the farmer, and we
simply wish him to put on his "thinking
cap" and we will then have no fear for
ths result;
HALLOWE'EN.
From the Philadelphia Record.
The leading Idea respecting Hallowe'en
Is that It Is the time, of all other, when
supernatural Influences prevail. It Is the
night set apart for a universal walking
abroad of spirits, both of the visible and
Invisible world. One of the special char
acteristics attributed to this mystic even
ing Is the faculty conferred on the Im
material principle In humanity to detach
itself from Its corporeal tenement and
wander abroad through the realms of
space. Dlvlnetlon Is then believed to at
tain Its highest power, and the gift as
serted by Olendower of calling spirits
"from the vasty deep" becomes avail
able to all who choose to avail, them
selves of ths privileges of the occasion.
Brand, in his "Popular Antiquities," Is
mora explicit: "It Is a custom In Ire

Majestic Ranges are made of steel
and maleable iron, riveted together,
making them perfectly air-tight, gas
tight and ash-proof. The ovens can
not warp, being riveted to a solid
malable angle ir.on, both in front and
back, the body of the Range being
riveted to the same.
Remember
This is the only Range in the world
in the hands of the dealer made this
way. For durability, economy of
fuel, quick and perfect baking, the
Majestic Steel Range has no equal.
To this 150,000 of the best houses in
America' can testify. ' .
Now on sale and being exhibited
