KKPIBI.ICAN STATE CONVENTION.
Headquarters Republican state commit'
tee, 1231 Walnut street.
Philadelphia, Pa., Dee. 12. 1893.
To the Republican Electors of Pennsyl
vnnln!
The Republicans of Pennsylvania, by
their duly chosen representatives, will
meet In state convention, Thursday, April
M. ISM. at 10 o'clock a. m.. in the opera
House, city of Harrlsburg, for the pur
pose of nominating: two candidates for
representatives at large in congress nn'i
thlrtv-two candidates for presidential elec
tors, selecting elfjht delegates at large to
the Republican national convention, ami
transacting such other business as may be
presented.
By order of the state committee,
M. 8. Quay,
Attest: Chairman
Jere B. Rex.
W. R. Andrews.
Secretaries.
Representation In this convention will
be the same as In the last state conven
tion.
Several gentlemen of the press are
again In great perturbation over the
fact that Senator Quay on Tuesday
at Harrlsuurg, called on Oovernor
Hastings and was not thrown out. Ills
escape doubtless was marvelous.
An Ideal Candidate.
Mr. Daniel Williams, the Republican
candidate for city treasurer, and run
nlng mate of Colonel Ripple, lias been
a resident of the West Side for thirty
five years. For this length of time Mr.
Williams has been one of the leading
contractors of the city but Is now large
ly Interested In the development of
coal. Many years ago he represented
the Fourth ward In the common coun
cil and Is now one of the leading mem
bers of the board of the Scranton poor
district. His term on the poor board
bus been marked by strict attention to
his duty, regularity in being found In
his seat and an alertness to labor for
the public good. The reputation he
holds In the business world represents
the energy and assiduity typical
of the thorough business . man
and stamps him as one well fitted to
grasp the complete details so peculiar
to the office for which he is a candidate
On the West Side he Is held In par
ticularly high esteem, and through his
integrity, public splritedness and popu
larity has won for himself an enviable
position. No one fact so forcibly es
tablishes a man's reputation as his po
sition in the community in which he
lives, and if this evidence alone were
applied to Mr. Wlllams It would be
sufficient to Invest his canvass with the
assurance of success. His friends claim
him to be stalwart, honest and popular
enough to win, and they ought to know.
Whatever Is thought of C. L. Magee
as a politician nnd it is somehow a
fact that those who admire him in that
capacity and those who do not are both
enthusiasts in their respective beliefs
It cannot be denied that in business hels
a generous employer and an unselfish
'friend. His Christmas gift for prac
tically it Is his gift, although made in
the name of a street railway corpora
tionof $100,000 to the city of Pittsburg
for the purpu.se of establishing a zo
ological garden is characteristic. Pitts
burg may have done a deal for Majjee;
but it is equally true that Magee bus
reciprocated. Such Instances of re
ciprocity are none too frequent among
traction company magnates.
A Chance for Reform.
In connection with the reforms to the
achievement of which the Republican
party In the last state convention
pledged Itself It might be well to Includo
a law revising the salaries of the com
mon picas judges of Pennsylvania so
as to make it unnecessary for them to
augment their regular . incomes by
swapping benches under the law which
allowes visiting judges $10 a day apiece
and expenses, la uUditlon to the regular
home salary, which goes right on.
There is no objection to the exchango
of woolsacks, for, like the exchange, of
pulpits In churches, it often does good.
There are few judges who are not
broadened by travel nnd few courts
which do not benellt from the coming
of trial judges from afar.- The judge
who sits always upon one bench Is
liable to become rusty; if not that, his
weak points are studied by the lawyers
before him, and advantage Is frequently
taken of his inevitable prejudices. In
addition to all this stands the principle
embodied in the adage that famil
iarity breeds contempt" novelty Is
always a sharpener of the finer in
stincts. So that on no account ought
the practice of occasionally trading
benches to fall Into disuse.
But It Is manifestly absurd that the
judges who thus trade should receive
double pay, thus turning the exchange
Into a source of personal profit. Enough
money Is -probably spent by the com.
monwealth each year in consequence
of this Indefensible provision of the
law to pay the regular salaries of sev
eral additional judges and thus bring
the overcrowded and belated dockets
In several courts In the state up to date.
good an opportunity to correct a
self-evident abuse ought not to be ncg
lected by the next legislature. ,
wThe Syracuse Post is responding
nobly to the demands of civilization.
It has promised to give a souvenir
spoon to every baby born in its city be
Christmas and New Year's, and six
months' free subscription to every
couple wedded during that time.
A Blooming Farce.
The course of the Democratic mi
nority in the houBe In Interposing ora
torical obstructions to the speedy pas
sage of bills which are enneededly
needed to save the government from
financial embarrassment affords a
pretty good example of Democracy's
natural caliber. It recalls attention to
the fact that that party Is fundamen
tally and pre-eminently a party of ob
struction, and that It Is never so happy
as when trying to pull progress back.
The Democratle objectors In the house
knew full well that the Wilson bill has
built up nothing but debts and deficits,
They knew equally well that If some
thing were not soon done to Inrvcase Its
Inadequate revenue the government
would have to provide funds for the
payment of current expenses by u new
sale of bonds, which simply means the
costly accumulation of more deflcitn
and debts. They knew that even their
own president had frantically pleaded
with congress, publicly and In private
Interviews with Its leading members.
to do something In the way of relief
before the situation got desperate.
And yet, knowing all these things, and
knowing, too, that so far as the ultimate
effect of their orations went they might
just as well have sat still and said noth
ing, the few surviving captains of
the little Democratic band now
sitting under Tom Reed's eagle eye
vainly strutted their brief time upon
the stage of discussion and pre
tended to have no knowledge that
Pncle Sam's finances were in a hole.
This, In good truth, Is supremely ri
diculous and altitudlnously asinine, but
It nevertheless Is characteristically
Democratic. That Incapable party,
having In the legislative branch at least,
washed Its hands of power, must now
proceed to howl and kick and pose and
sputter, else It would have no remain
ing warrant for continued existence.
But what a blooming farce it all was.
Americans will hope the report Is true
that General (lomez. the commander-in-chief
of the Cuban Insurgent forces,
has eluded the Spanish army and be
gun a march direct for Havana. What
is more, they will hope that he may
capture Havana, and, for that matter,
everything else which smacku of Span
ish tyranny and oppression.
That South Side Fire.
The tragic fire at Irving avenue and
Hemlock street yesterday morning calls
attention to the need of an additional
number of fire hydrants on the South
Side. This is the fourth or fifth recent
fire In that section of the city which
might have been prevented or at least
easily checked had there been as gen
erous a distribution of hydrants as Is
to be found In many other portions of
Scranton. In one instance that occurred
not long ago a stable was consumed In
a populous district because the nearest
hydrant was six blocks away. Such
facts as that will never do In a city as
suming to be metropolitan. The tax
payer on the South Side Is Just as much
entitled to protection against fire as Is
the taxpayer In Hyde Park or the cen
tral city and councils should regulate
Its appropriations accordingly. .
In view of the probability of an early
adoption of a paid regular fire service,
It would seem to be a fit tlnie to sug
gest a thorough overhauling of present
urrangements and equipments to the
end that when the forward step is once
taken. It may be taken Intelligently and
be' effective. There should no stinting
of needed appropriations and no more
of the hitherto too prevalent custom of
playing one section of the city against
another section, regardless of the real
needs of both. This strikes us as a
good time for urging forward the grow
ing disposition to regard Scranton In
all Its parts as one integral city, with
common requirements, common pur
poses and a common destiny.
The Wllkes-Barre Record a few davs
ago thought that Governor Hastings
would be Just the man for president,
but no it pronounces his candidacy
inadvisable. This Is a world of chanire.
Of Interest to Shippers.
A subject of vital Interest to Hhlpners
has been touched upon by Representa
tive Hardy.of Indiana.in his bill recent
ly introduced in congress, to repeal sec
tions 3006 and 3007 of the revised stat
utes, and the amendments thereto.
These two sections form parts of the
Interstate commerce law which pro
vides that goods Imported Into the Uni
ted States can be placed In sealed cars
and transported over our railways to
the Dominion of Canada, thence carried
on the dominion railways across the
continent and thence sent to any part
of the United States, the movement of
freight to be subject to the regulations
of the treasury department. These pro
visions are based upon section 29 of the
treaty of Washington, which relates to
the transportation of merchandise In
bond from one part of the United States
to another part therein over the terri
tory of the Dominion of Canada by rail
road routes or partly by railroads and
partly by water route. Mr. Hardy will
follow up his first bill with another de
claring the treaty section annulled and
calling upon the president to issue a
proclamation to that effect.
The real purpose in Mr. Hardy's two
measures Is to prevent those Canadian
railroads, notably the Grand Trunk,
which run In part through United
States territory, from gaining an undue
traffic becuuse of freight rate conces
sions which competing American roads,
Under the long and short haul clause of
the interstate commerce act, cannot
parallel. Representative Hepburn, who
was solicitor of the treasury under
President Harrison, Is a warm support
er of the Indiana member's purpose.
While in the treasury department Mr,
Hepburn made an inquiry which re.
suited In the discovery that In orte year
the Canadian roads received from the
United States 480,000 loads, worth to the
Canadian systems (20,000,000. "This,"
he says, "was business that naturally
belonged to our own roads, and which,
If controlled by them, would enable
thorn to give as low rates as their cum
petltors. TheCunudlun roads not being
subject to the long and short haul
clause of the Interstate commerce law
possess an unconquerable advantage
over roads on this side of the Hue."
In an Interview upon the subject
Colonel Hardy recently said:
The United States has now Invested In
one lino of railwuy from Omuha to Ban
Francisco considerably over 100,UOO,000, be
sides which there are three American lines
of railway across the continent from the
Mississippi to the Pacific coast, hy
should the United States permit, goods
transported between different sections of
It 3 own territory to be carried over for
elnn railways when we have railways
of our own, altogether within our own
country, which are fully capable of doing
the work? I believe that all merchandise
brought into this country from foreign
ports the ultimate destination of which Is
an American port or city should be trans
ported exclusively over American rail
roads. As, Americans have 'to pay tho
freight, 1 believe American railroads should
receive the freight charges. The more
money that Is paid American railways In
transporting merchandise from the east
to the west the lower rates they can af
ford 1o take for freighting, the fanners'
crops and cattle from the west to the
eastern seaboard. What the farmers nnd
shippers of the middle nnd western states
demand Is a cheaper freight rate from the
west 1o the east, but how can they hope
for lower rates when the law and regular
tlons of the treasury department grant
special privileges, even advantages, to a
foreign railway like the Canadian Pad He,
This view may appear selfish, but I trust
It embraces the true American spirit. .
It certainly does.
The attention of our readers Is called
to the detailed review, on another page,
of The Tribune Annual and Political
Hand-book for 1896, which will be ready
for distribution next Wednesday. It
has been compiled with great care and
is believed to embody a more compre
hensive and accurate collection of In
formation vital to Northeastern Penn
sylvania than has yet been presented
in any similar publication. The pre
paration and supervision of this annual
are the work of Colonel J. D. Laciar,
whose life-long Identification with po
litical movements In this quarter of the
commonwealth, coupled with his high
standing as a journalist, affords a suf
ficient guaranty of Its authenticity and
value. In succeeding years it will
doubtless be Improved and amplified,
yet this first number In a contemplated
series of political hand-books will un
questionably prove and indispensable
reference book and ofilce guide; and
It will without doubt specially commend
Itself to the politicians of this and of the
proximate counties because of its in
telligent grouping of election figures.
Senator Quay Hiays that Governor
Hastings gave him a very fine cigar.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
Tribune Bureau,
No. CIS Fourteenth street, N. vt,
Washington, Dec. 2S.
There was more drunkenness in Wash
ington yesterday than there tins been on
Christmas lor many years. The streets
were tilled with intoxicated men and boys
and not a few females took advantiiKv of
the occasion and mtule merry. Most ut the
Jags were ulguiittc In size. Many of them
were of the swinging tuke-up-all-or-the-street
vuriety. A good deul or the drunk
enness wus due to the fact that nearly
every saloon In town kept "open house,"
and the boys took advuntage of tills rare
hospitality on the uart of tha rum uill,.i
and loaded up. Very few arrests were
nia.le, considering the large number of
fellows who foil by the wayside.
If "Rising Sun Stove Polish" Morse,
who represents a Puritan district In ilus-
suchusetls, and who has Introduced a bill
In 111 house prohibiting; the sale of liquor
In the District of Columblu, hud been here
today he could have gathered some valu
able duta which he might use In favor of
his measure. It Is needless to say that
such a bill will never pass as long as there
are so many fellows In congress who like
u pull at the bottle themselves.
Senator Squire, of the state of Washlnu-
ton, Is not the brightest man in the upper
branch of congress, but nobody ever sus
pected him of being so fur behind the times
as the following story will show him to
be. A short time before congress con
vened Squire met a fellow senator at one
of the hotels In this city and this conver
sation took place between them:
think It Is a shame that congress does
not admit Utah into the Union." said Sen
ator Squire.
"iiy ueur senator," said his colleague,
t'tuh was admitted as a state by the last
compress.
Is that so? replied Senator Saulre.wlth
great astonishment. "1 hadn't heard of it
before."
Senator Saulre must be suffering- from
a lapse of the memory, us he was a mem
ber of the senate when the Utah bill
passed.

It Is said that he hasn't averaged three
