An Unjust Complaint.
A good deal of nonsense Is finding
Its way into print Just now by reason
of the success of Judge Smith's candi
dacy for the Superior court bench.
Numerous Journals throughout the
state, gome Republican ones as well as
many Democratic ones, have begun to
Intimate that his election was due to
unfair means, and that treachery to
his associates on the Democratic state
ticket was one of those means.
Without assuming In any sense to
speak for Judge Smith, and without
even admitting that his case stands
In any special need of defense, It' occurs
to us that most of these strictures are
essentially unjust. The cry of treach
ery was Inevitable from the circum
stance that out of six candidates only
one could be chosen, leaving, In cither
of six chances, five men to feel sore at
the sixth man's success.' The fact that
Judge Smith received more votes than
Judge Yerkes or Judge Noyes Is prima
faclo proof that a larger number of
voters wanted him for judge of the
Superior court than those who wanted
his various colleagues; and by the con
ditions of the race this ought to settle
the matter, without whimpering.
We do not see any reason why when
Six men start upon race which only one
of the six men can win, any one of the
number should stop and wait for the
other fellows to overtake him. Looked
at in this light the complaint agalnnt
Judge Smith appears supremely ridic
ulous. If any blame attaches to any
person or persons in this connection It
would seem to belong to the Demo
cratic state convention for subjecting
six able Jurists to the trouble of run
ning for an office which It knew only
one of them could tret.
It la fitting that the American poet
laureate of childhood should be remem
bered In the hour of his sudden re
moval by the little folk to whose de
light his facile muse so happily minis
tered. The project of a monument In
memory of Eugene Field, to be paid
for by the voluntary offerings of the
children of the land, has been begun In
Chicago under auspices that Insure its
success. Contributions in any sum
may be sent to the Chicago Record, by
which they will be promptly acknowl
edged. In this way best of all may
the appreciation of a continent find ap
propriate expression.
Increased Responsibility.
Representative Dalzell has confided
to the Washington Star some charac
teristically Interesting rews of the re
cent elections, Mr. Dalaclt Is not In the
habit of dulling the public's senses with
words that have no meaning. In this
latest Instance he has something to say.
and he says It, to the point He begins
by abruptly rejecting the theory that
last week's Democratic defeats were
primarily a condemnation of bosses and
their methods. "I think," says ho,
"that It would puszle a man who should
assign that as a reason tj give tha
name .of the boss the people In New
York state rose up against What
bosses were there In New Jersey? The
only color of such a claim Is that Mr.
Gorman In Maryland headed the 1e
feated party, but Maryland went large
ly Republican at the previous- election,
when there was no question of bosslsm,
and to me the state seems simply- to
have made another step In advance. I
have no doubt that Z$r. Oil-man's atti
tude as a bus In Marland had a good
deal to do with the election there, but
X think the genral dissatisfaction of the
people with tha Democratic- ndmlrE
tratlon had quite as much to do with It
If this Dem-).!Mtlo defeat was a con
demnation of bosses, why is It we have
heard nothing about Republican
bosses? They don't seem to have en
countered any such opposition."
"The American people," Mr. Dalzell
Added n a te-so genrallza'.on which
embodfes keen political philosophy,
"have no faith In the ability of. the
Democratic party to administer the af
fairs of the government That party
has always been great in obstructive
and destructive tactics, but It seems
utterly devoid of the power of admin
istration and construction." It 'might
be added with entire justice that the
recent and rapid spread of popular In
telligence in this country has greatly
Increased the responsibility of the party
in power, whether It be the Democratic
or the Republican. The accountability
of the publlo servants to their em
ployers, the people, Is today more real
and more direct than ever before. In
the last two elections this fact has op
crated to the swift disadvantage of our
friends, the enemy; but Republicans
w'11 son have t face the same stern
test themselves, and they should not
count too much on the permanency of
the popular distrust of the opposition.
Publte sentiment moves rapidly in these
oltalo days. No party, dare presume
on natural preferences. It can read Its
title clear to public support only
through the honest and fearless per
formance of publlcduty.
Within the past year, under what has
become known as the Pingree plan, the
poor people of Detroit have planted in
all some COO acres of vacant land In
potatoes, the crop realized being es
timated at 70,000 bushels, worth $25,
000. This sum will be sufficient, ac
cording to Mayor Ptngree's estimate,
to maintain during next winter almost
all tho poor of Detroit, and It repre
Kontp the highest form of philanthropy,
tho creation of an opportunity for self
help. Tho attempt to introduce the
PIngree plan In Scranton last year did
not appear to meet with very sudden
success, but it Is a good plan never
theless, and the day Is coming when It
will encounter the same success lo
cally that has been Its destiny in larger
aveatt of experiment.
The Identification of Tompkins.
The editor of the esteemed Wlines
Barre News-Dealer, about two weeks
ago, was afflicted with an acute curi
osity to know who Chairman Tompkins
was. He appeared to believe that be
cause Mr. Tompkins was not a hard
ened veteran in the devious ways of
Wlllces-Barre politics, he would prove
unequal to tho responsibilities of the
chairmanship of the Luzerne coun ty Re
publican committee. This belief took
the form of various daily allusions to
the alleged verdancy of Mr. Tompkins,
some purporting to be full of sympathy,
others tipped with satire or trimmed
with ridicule. At the period of which
we speak tho morning organ of the Lu
zerne unterrlfied was a dally study in
riotous humor and effervescing self
conceit It was the period of Editor
Iioyd's hilarity, and he Improved it to
the uttermost.
It will be remembered by those of our
readers who are Interested in Luzerne
politics that The Tribune, one day well
before the recent electlon.recommended
Colonel Boyd to recall to his mind the
familiar circumstances of the boy and
the bull, wherein, as the story goes, the
boy laughed a trillo too soon. This
reasonable precaution was, however,
wasted upon our distinguished Wllkes
Barre confrere, and the fusillade of his
chairing kept up until the very eve of
the day of balloting. During this period
Mr. Tompkins, as became the discreet
young man that he is, said never a
word. But like Bre'r Rabbit, ho "lay
low;" and those who were within his
confidence knew full well that when
his account with the Wllkes-Barre
News-Dealer was balanced finally, the
Item of laugh would not rest wholly on
the News-Dealer's side.
It so happened since last Tuesday
that the mention of tho name of Tomp
kins within Brother Boyd's hearing has
a rasping and an enervating effect. No
longer docs it elicit the festive shaft of
humor or call forth tho playful joke.
Our esteemed contemporary's present
attitude toward Chairman Tompkins is
one strongly suggestive of chagrin and
Irritation. It Is beginning to dawn on
the News-Dealer's mind that It gave
vent to Its hilarity prematurely. Tomp
kins has been heard from. Ills identity
has been revealed. And Colonel Boyd,
who erstwhile wanted to bet his world
ly wealth that McLean would beat
Bennett for Judge, now retires to his
sanctum sanctorum and In tho quiet of
the night sits there and thinks.
The Quay presidential boom is again
playing one night stands through a cir
cuit of credulous newspapers.
Olney for Heir Apparent.
The latest gossip from Washington,
which seems to be "inspired," Is to the
effect that Mr. Cleveland realizing the
Impossibility of hoping for a third term,
will transfer his influence to Secretary
Olney, who Is to become the adminis
tration candidate. An important part
of this programme Is to be supplied by
possible complications In our foreign
affairs. Should opportunity arise, it is
announced that Mr. Olney will blossom
out as a Jingo of the first water. In the
hope of withdrawing the attention of
the country from the administration's
humiliating failures In domestic af
fairs. The rock upon which this hope Is
buildcd is the Monroe doctrine, which
Mr. Olney is to assert In an emphatic
fanhlon Just as soon as the Venezuelan
episode shall reach an opportune turn.
It Is explained that the secretary of
state has already addressed to Lord
Salisbury a note which, when its con
tents shall have been made public, will
be found to embody a vigorous and
virile enunciation of American senti
ment. The publication of the text of
this communication may occur shortly
after the assemblage of the next con
gress. If it shall not suffice to stir the
public pulse. It will be supplemented by
yet more vigorous deliverences, until
the whole country shall resound with
applause for Mr. Olney's courage.
One obvious difficulty with such a
programme Is the likelihood that it will
not be accepted as wholly sincere. The
precedents of the present Cleveland ad
ministration are against it. At no point
has there been Justification for an hon
est confidence In the sincerity of its
Americanism. The public will be likely
to recall the gravamen of Lord Sack
vllle's contention that jingoism In
American diplomacy Is a plant which
blossoms shortly before election day
and goes into eclipse shortly after. Mr.
Olney may be -the firm and fearless
patriot that this prospective role calls
for, but if so he has been singularly
slow In giving tangible evidence of the
fact. His connection with the Cleve
land administration would be a handi
cap rather than a help.
The popularity of an honest and sys
tematic enforcement of American senti
ment In our foreign relations is no
open to question. But the country is
aware that It can expect such an en
forcement only from a Republican ad
ministration. The sympathies of Re
publicanism have never coincided with
the schemes of foreign monarchies nor
played Into the hands of dissolute for
eign sovereigns. The traditions of the
party of Lincoln and Howard, Blaine,
Frellnghuysen and Harrison hold out
no encouragement to the foreign seiz
ure of American territory or to the
Impoverishment of an American colony
by the outrageous tyranny of Euro
pean despollers. Mr. Olney will be
commended for whatever he shall do
alone lines of national duty; but his re
ward for such a performance will not
be the next presidency.
Mr. Kerr, the man who has Juot
discovered that Senator Quay Is going
to be the next president. Is also the man
who once said Harrlty would be
downed. Mr. Kerr has an active imag
ination. Another Bubble Burst.
The summary collapse of another
co-operative experiment, undertaken
along the lines of Edward Bellamy's
"Looking Backward," is reported from
Tennessee. The victims several years
ego put from $3,000 to $5,000 apiece into
the "stock" of the new nationalist
community, many also giving up com
fortable homes and assured Incomes;
and all there is left to show for It Is
a huge record of debt and tne memory
of inconveniences and privations en
countered without real necessity or ex
cuse. Several of these experimenters
in applied altruism are boiu looking
backward and walking backward, while
others are in the shelter of almshouses
or under the wing of private charity.
Of course, this particular failure does
not prove anything. It will not be ac
cepted In evidence against a recurrence
of the folly. The socialist's dream is
continuously Iridescent. Like the gold
en treasure hid at the base of the rain
bow. It lures men on, even though now
and then one of their number falls down
in exhaustion, despairing of reaching
the receding goal. The theory, at least,
is perfect. The fault Is with tnose who
undertake to put It Into operation. The
possibilities for fault-finding so far as
the latter are concerned are sufficient
to cover all varieties of circumstances.
It will never be possible to demolish the
theory itself.
But at the same time, it Is Interesting
to notice that no social plan has yet in
all the history of the race reached a
permanent success without allowing for
necessary differences In individual ca
pacity, tastes and environment. The
homely adage that "no two families can
live in concord under one root" may
seem to be disproved by the inevitable
propinquity of the cities; but as a mat
ter of fact it remains vindicated in the
circumstances that only when the herd
ing of families in apartment houses is
accompanied by complete Isolation and
separation Is the experiment a success.
There have been many attempt's to es
tablish co-operative housekeeping, but
nil have failed. The individualism of
the species Is bound to assert Itself over
and above all social artifice.
Mr. Bellamy to-day is scarcely a
memory, although a few years ago he
seemed the overshadowing theme of
speculation and discussion. Many read
ers of these lines will have to think
twice before they can recall the purport
of his philosophy. The social organism
has moved away from him and is at
this writing pursuing decidedly differ
ent false lights. It may be a proof of
degeneracy that we forget people and
fads so quickly; but when one pauses
to consider how many of these Beven
day wonders one Is called upon to en
counter In the brief course of a life
time, one Is rather Inclined to think an
easy memory Is a publlo blessing,
whether degenerative or not.
The reappearance In Saturday's
Times of "Roderick Random" In the
role of political gossiper which he so
cleverly filled for years In the Sunday
Free Press is a noteworthy circum
stance in local journalism. Roderick Is
open to criticism on the score of his
party leanings. He is a Democrat of
the Democrats, and his political say
ings have to be Interpreted with some
measure of discount. But he is never
dull and rarely misinformed. The
fact that he frankly predicts the Dem
ocrats will have practically no show
next spring for electing a mayor Is a
circumstance In conneotton with his
latest letter which shows that Roderick
is disposed, as far as the exigencies of
politics will permit to "tell the truth."
Lovers of true sport will be glad to
learn that the franchise of the Scran
ton base ball club has at last passed
into the possession of men who, If it Is
In the woods to give this city an ad
equate representation in the Eastern
league,' will spare no pains or expense
to accomplish that purpose Profes
sional base ball is essentially a busi
ness enterprise, requiring for its suc
cess the same capital and qualifications
necessary to command success in other
lines of business. Now that these re
quirements have been fulfilled for the
first time in several years, It will be
fair to expect material Improvement
upon the unsatisfactory standards of
those years.
THE NEXT SENATE.
Washington, Nov. 10. When the presi
dent to be Inaucuartad March 4, 1897. be
gins sending; nominations to the senate
that foody will be Jtenublloan, with a ma
jority of at least eighteen over all oppo
sition. Last year the Democrats loat
seven senators as a result of the Republi
can wave, and this year they lose four
more. In the last congress they had forty-four
senators, one more than a major
ity of the senate as then constituted,
there being three vacancies. In the con
gress to meet next month they will have
only thirty-eight senators. After March
4, 1897, the Democratic strength In the
senate will be reduced to thirty-three. In
1894 the Democrats lost two seats In North
Carolina and one each In New Jersey,
South Carolina, West Virginia, Delaware
and Kansas. Of tbla loss the Republicans
took four, the Populists two and ene seat
remains vacant With the present con
gress the terms of twenty-nine- senators
will expire, of whom fifteen are Dem
ocrats, twelve Republican and two Popu
lists. The Democrats are Brlce, of Ohio;
Blackburn, of Kentucky; Blanchard, of
Louisiana; Call, of Florida; Gibson, of
Maryland; Gordon, of Georgia; Hill, of
New York; Jones, of Arkansas; Irby, of
South Carolina; Kyle, of outh Dakota;
Palmer, of Illinois; Pugh, of Alabama;
Vest, of Missouri; Vilas, of Wisconsin,
and Voorhees, of Indiana. Republican
legislatures were chosen In four of theno
states Ohio, Maryland, Kentucky and
New Tork and in four of the others It
is reasonably certain the Republicans will
secure the legislatures next year, thus ad
ding another quartette to their strength
In the Fifty-fifth congress. These four
latter are Illinois, Kansas, South Dakota
and Wisconsin. The remaining seven
states now represented by Democrats are
likely to choose Dcmocratfo successors,
with the possible exception of Indiana.
a
The Republicans whose terms ex
pire In 18117 are Allison, of Iowa; Camer
on, of Pennsylvania; Dubois, of Idaho;
Oalllnger, of New Hampshire; Hans
brough, of North Dakota; Mitchell, of
Oregon; Morrill, of Vermont; Perkins, of
California; Piatt, of Connecticut; Prl (ch
art), of North Carolina; Squire, of Wash
ington, and Teller, of Colorado. All thesa
will be succeeded by Republicans, with
the possible exception of Pfltchard, of
North Carolina. Jones, of Nevada, and
Peffer, of Kansas, Populists, will also go
out In 1897. The former Is likely to suc
ceed himself or to ha succeeded by a
Populist, but Peffer will give plane to a
Republican. Utah will probably become
a state during the next sixty days. The
legislature, whieh will meet In January
to choose two senators, lie by the latest re
turns pronounced Republican, thus secur
ing the election of two er more Republi
can sonatora. This will bring the total
membership of the senate up' to ninety,
and will give the K'puullcaas after March
4. lkii, a total vote of at least lllty-lour, cr
eight more than the number neees3ary to
a quorum.

COMMENT OF THE PEESS. "
Interest on Stnto Fluids.
Philadelphia Press: "No individual or
private corporation would think of keep
ing severul millions of dollars where It
was earning nothing. The banks would
pay Interest on the state moneys held by
them just as readily as they pay on indi
vidual deposits. The state ought to avail
ItHeir of the opportunity which It has, just
as the city of Philadelphia did several
years ago nftsr it had experienced a
pretty severe losson on the subject, and
just as the city of Pittsburg has now con
cluded to do. When Interest is luiiJ to tho
state on its balnnces In the banks and
made a matter of public record, Just as tho
receipts of all other revenue Is. there will
be un end of these partfnin assertions, for
with Interest paid to the state no ground
would be loft for even a suspicion that it
was going elsewhere."
The Impression Is tho Same,
Washington Star: "When a prima don
na announces her farewell appearance It
Is popularly understood that she means
that she Is not comlmr back unless the
Rubllo Indicates a further willingness to
ave her. And when the eminent states
man declares his Intention of retiring to
private life, the Impression is much the
same."
:o:
A Pertinent Inquiry.
Olyphant Gaiette: "We wonder if tho
people of some of the foreign countries
Cuba nnd Hawaii, for Instance will In
clude President Cleveland in their prayers
on Thanksgiving Day?"
:o: '
It Won't Magnify Sufficiently.
Wilkes-Barre Record: "It Is reported
from Kingston that Professor Coles has
started out with his Klectrlc Eye to
search for the Democratic party."
:o:
An Accessible Retreat.
Chicago Times-Herald: "P. Wat Hnrdln
need not go far to seek that rest and se
clusion which he craves. The Mammoth
Cave is in Kentucky."

Chicago Times-Herald: "The foot ball
