SCRANTON. JANUARY 6, 1806.
Disappointment in the pursuit of
ofllce Is one of the Inevitable Incidents
of political striving. Magnanimity Is a
test of manhood, In defeat no less than
In victory.
Saturday's Primaries.
Thut the spirited canvass for dele
gates to the Republican city conven
tion which ended Saturday should have
resulted in the selection of a large ma
jority favorable to Messrs. Ripple, Wil
liams and 'Wldmiiyer does not belittle
the candidates who were unsuccessful:
fur under the circumstances it must in
fairness be acknowledged that they
made a gallant tight. Had these can
didates Btood forth In their own right
with sufllclent poslttveness to duel the
Impression that they were being usei"
for ulterior purposes by disaffected ami
discredited Republican leaders Btrlvlnp
to regain lost prestige, it is probable
that they would have made an ever
better whowlng. Kai.li of the gentlemen
on the Scranton ticket stands well per
sonally in the community, and each has--
hitherto been consistent and loyal in h!
devotion to the party.
That each should have failed to carr;
a majority of the delegates in his re
spective community Is to be accounted
for as much by the popular umtrust o
the element arrayed behind them am'
by the public's disgust nt the low meth
ods of their newspaper cnampton as by
reason of the popularity and the recog
nized personal fitness of their sucpessfu'
competitors. While we believe that tin
Is true of both Captain Molr and Mr
Westpfahl, we are especially sure tiuii
It Is true of Mr. Davles, than whom v
man In Hyde Park stands higher for
nersonal inteerltv and for honestv o'
.. ....... - m i. . .. i . i i... . i . . nr t-il
jJuriJUKt:. a lit- vjeciiuil uy me wt-Bi cur
of a majority of delegates plcJeed to
the ticket which Mr. Davles opposed
Is to be construed not as c reflection up
on Mr. Davles himself, nor upon his col
leagues, Messrs. Moir and Westpfahl
but rather ns an expression of censure
upon the methods nnd Die men foi
whom Mr. Davles and hl& two associ
ates mistakenly permitted themselves
to stand as exponents. They wer
simply unfortunate in the circum
stances surrounding their present effort
to secure municipal office. .
At the same time It would be unfal'
to underrate the widespread popularity
of the gentlemen who won. In the case
of Colonel Ripple this has long been ac
knowledged even by his most active ad
versaries; and It Is little If nny less true
of his associates In victory. Mr. Wil
liams and Mr. Wldmayer. The former
as a member of the poor board and the
latter as city controller have provet'
their fitness for continued public trust
In a manner which materially strength
ened the winning ticket. Tlicy had also
the further advantage of standing for
clean politics and honest government,
and of representing the typo of leader
ship which has made, of Jackawannn
county one of the foremost Republicar
strongholds in the state, and of the city
of Scranton a worthily-governed and
notably progressive municipality, 'that
the choice of the party at Us primaries
will also be the enthusiastic choice of
the voting citizens of the municipality
at the polls is not open to doubt, let the
opposition be what it may.
General Hastings would make an ex
cellent senator; but he is very likely, in
our opinion, to remember that the peo
ple elected him to be their governor.
Senator Sherman's Speech.
. No apology need be made for the
space devoted In this paper to the re
markable speech delivered on Friday of
last week in the senate by Senator John
Sherman. It deserves and should re
ceive the attientlve perusal of each
reader, for it not only explains to what
causes are due the present trouble
experienced by the Cleveland adminis
tration in keeping Intact the gold re
serve, but also points out that with
very little amendment, and . that not
now urgent, our present monetary sys
tem can be made stronger than the
vaunted currency system of Great Brit
ain and stronger than that of any other
country in the world, excepting none.
Senator Sherman's word upon this
subject Is admittedly the word of au
thority. It is the. word of the greatest
financier Blnce Alexander Hamilton,
.spoken a.t a time of life when the Judg
mental1 ripe arid free from any wish to
dlshrt or misrepresent. Every' state
ment in the senator's speech is carefully
weighed in the light of its admitted im
portance among financiers, and is for
tified by statistics derived from the
treasury department itself. When,
therefore, Senator Sherman declares
that but for the enactment of the Wil
son tariff bill, with its deficits and its
unsettlement of business interests,
there would have been no Impairment
of the gold reserve and no casting of
suspicion upon the ability of the gov
ernment to redeem its notes of hand
at any moment in the' best money
known to civilisation, he does not sim
ply utter a platitude, he states a fact
and proves It. too. by the trensury de
partment's own figures.
Let the business men of the t'nlteU
States, before they Join in the chorus of
interested bankers and bond speculators
who applaud President Cleveland's relt
erated attempts to still further unsettle
the stability of our currency and to cast
discredit upon our llntnclul honor by
repeatedly calling It i a question, con
sider the statement of John Sherman
that not once during alt the years when
the Republican party provided the gov
ernment with enoiiRh rovenuo to meet
its current expenses was there any ralvl
upon the treasury's stock of gold, or any
inclination In any quarter to fear that
the t'nited States would not ray every
dollar of Its Just debts in the best
money going. Not until the Democratic
party, with its threat of greatly lowered
tariff duties, carried the elections of W1
and inaugurated the series of deficits
which, while crippling the government
In its necessary expenditures, also
forced the secretary of the treasury to
use the gold reserve to cover the in
evitable margin between income and
expenses, and thus awakened distrust
among holders of treasury notes, was
there any evidence of the existence of
Mr. Cleveland's so-called "endless
chain," or any serious difficulty in gt
ting more gold.
Thus while the Republican party in
thirty years of successful adnilnlstra
tion covering the inevitable expenses
of reconstruction and the great devel
opmcnt which hus occurred since, paid
off. besides current Interest. $2,500,000,000
of the principal of the national debt, or
nore than $S3,000,600 a year, the Demo
cracy, in three years of "free trade"
times, has crippled the business Inter
ests of the country to an amount in
xcess of the national debt at its largest
period, besides augmenting that inter
st-bearlng debt to the extent of $162,
".oo.ooo, not saying anything about the
"200,000.000 bond issue soon to be an
lounced. Should that issue be made.
the account with Democracy will stand
it $120,000,000 of increased annual debt
s against the Republican party's $83,-
OO.OOO annual reduction, or a total year
y loss through Democracy of $203,000,000
Mus the losa of its free trade panic.
In the light of these figures, whose ae
maty cannot be impeached, Senator
''herman" may well urge the senate to
nact the house bill providing more
evenue, and eulogize protection ns the
oiintry's sure and safe guaranty of
prosperity.
An elective poor board would be Just
efficient as an appointive one; and it
oulil possess the advantage of re
ovlng from the president Judge the
'mptatlon to turn his power of ap
nlntment Into an instrumentality for
he payment of private obligations or
' 'ie gratification of factional grudges.
t is certainly desirable to minimize the
jdgeshlp's opportunities for mixing
ito politics.

Scranton's Manifest Advantages.
The Engineering News, as the result
f a careful and conservative Inquiry
'to the subject of culm's utilization
for power as contrasted with Niagara
'alls electricity, estimates that Scran-
on can give Buffalo several points of a
"tart and yet beat It by many lengths
n the race for Industrial supremacy,
The editor of the News calculates that
he total cost per annual horse-power
n Scranton for 24 hours per day 365
lays In the year would be only $15.42,
r $9.39 for a 10-hour day ,313 days In the
ear as against a single flat rate of $18
er horse-power per year in Buffalo,
The figures relating to Scranton have
Ven proved by actual experience; the
'uIThIo rate Is estimated, and Is as
likely to go higher as to fall lower in
ctual practice. Says the News, at the
'onclusion of an' interesting study of
his whole question:
The qtirrtlon whether a factory had bet
er be Incuteil at Srrunlon or at Niagara
s not altogether one of the cost of elee
rlc, water or shaft power. Kor a paper
nil, using ureal quantities or water, and
n which the cost of power Is perhaps the
nodt Important Item of the total cost.
Vluaura may bp the best location, but in
tiost manufacturing establishments the
uestlon of heating In winter Is an Import
int one. In ScrHnton this can generally
ie flone by the exhaust from the engine,
"hi in at Nlaitara coal would have to be
'ru imported for heating purposes. So nlno
iany factories use sieain and heat for
ther purposes than merely furnishing
iowcr and warming the buildings, such
s boiling, evnporatlng, driving, etc. For
uch factories cheap fuel Is most Impor
int. On the whole, the writer considers
'hat Scranton has the advantage over N'l
Kftra In the matter of cheap power when
ver heating of the buildings Is an 1m-
ortant Item In the total cost of product,
ml he would not be surprised to see
Scranton deve'op In the future In Its man.
factuiing Industries faster than the nrw
'owns about Niagara Falls, or than that
art of UulTnlo which may receive its
owcr from Niagara.
This expert testimony simply cor
roborates the mass of similar testimony
which has gone before it. Now that
Industrial activities are, as a rule, be
ginning torecoverfrom the recent flnnn-
lal paralysis, Jt will be reasonable to
xpect that Scranton's repeatedly dem
onstrated superiority as a factory site
will gain the attention of the commer
cial world and lead in time to a rapid
multiplication of our Industries.
The esteemed Wilkes-Bnrre Record
has been In shivers for manv month a
lest Lackawanna Republicanism should
suffer from the controversies nreclnl-
tatcd upon It by local malcontents. The
Record does not appear to be able to
grasp the slgnllicance of recent elec
tion returns', which show that with the
decline of Scrantonlsm the Republican
majority In Lackawn
steadily Increasing.
John Sherman may as a matter of
courtesy express deference for Secre
tary Carlisle as a financier, but we'll
wager that he doesn't honestly feel It.
When Republicans fight like that
against each other, no wonder they are
invincible when they join forces against
the common enemy.
President Cleveland is the first Amer
ican executive who has felt that by re
fusing to look at a deficit he could re
move It.
Be sure to read Senator Sherman's
speech in full. It vill be a keynote In
the coming presidential campaign.
POLITICAL POINTS.
The real difficulty In the treasury de
partment at Washington is that the ad
ministration sells bonds -to maintain the
gold reserve, .and then uses the gold to
make up the deficiency in the revenues to
pay current expenses of the government.
Philadelphia and Allegheny will each
claim two of the delegates at large to the
national Republican convention, leaving
four to the balance of the state. Undur

Wilkes-lJarr Rr-onrrt: Nollng the re,
bultc aoniinlatered by .Iud;c SivWr. to a
S- i.tnlon Jury which brought In n verdlei
of aciiiiittrl. but placed part of the coats
on the defendant, the Scranton Tribune
rays: "In a crlmlr.nl action before a hlKh
court the verdict of acquittal ought to
constitute a complete exoiiHiatioti, other
wise we should iinve the anomalous npec
tacle of a Mri.noner forced to pay for being
found guilty. The community, when by
Its grand Jury II sanctions a prosecution,
should be willing to bear the expense of
the trial, regardless of the outcome. If
the prisoner Is found gulltw the cost of
reaching such a verdict Is rightly sup
posed to be made up to t'le community In
the beliered condition of Its moral tons
ami of Its safetv canned by the due con
viction of a violator of Its rights. If found
Innocent, the assumption by the ptihllc
of all the costs in the premltios Is a little
enough reparation for the Injustice of the
arrest and the public arraignment."
This Is unanswerable logic. Rut there
are Jurors who cannot understand that
kind of reasoning. Many of these gentle
men im.ik.ine that they are dolns their full
duty if they find u Hefeiiilunt r.ot guilty
but warn him not to do It Ufa In. Such
verdicts should not be accepted by the
court. The Judge should have the power
to exercise proper discretion In such cases,
overrule the verdict and order another
trial. This would result In more sensi
ble ttoclslons on the part of Jurors who
do not seem to -properly realize the sanc
tity of the oaths they take and utterly
disregard the evidence, of which they ure
the constituted Judges. No doubt the
Scranton Jury did not consider the
defendant sufficiently guilty to condemn
him, tier suthY'ientiy Innocent to give him
en uiHiunllned verdict of acuulttal. In
other words, they had a doubt regarding
his guilt, but did not seem to understand
that this doubt, If reasonable, entitled him
to a run and tree acquittal.
A .similar Instance occurred In our court
last week, and by a singular coincidence,
Judge lOilwurds, of Scranton, occupied the
bench. The Jury in the case of Constable
Uallagher, charged wltn doing detective
work without a license, brought in a ver
dict of not guilty, but ordered the de
fendant to pay the costs. In this case,
however, the evidence against the ac
cused was so strong that Judge F.dwanls
felt It his duty to say that Uallagher ought
to be found guilty, and told the Jurors that
tney inignt reconcile tneir action wltn
their consciences, if they could. In both
instances the Juries violated their oaths.
and brought the administration of Justice
into uisrepuie. a ramcai reiorm in tne
method of selecting Juries Is one of the
pressing needs or tne time.
Carbondale Herald: Judge Savldge
echoed thesentlments of more than a small
portion of the people when he criticised
the absurd verdicts which juries render
in many of the cases tried at the court of
quarter sessions. The immediate occu
sion for Judge Savldge' remarks was the
action of a jury In a case where one Scran
ton man was tried for assault and battery
committed on another. The testimony In
the case was uncontrovertible, but the
Jury, Instead of rendering a verdict accord
Ins; to the law and the evidence, divided
the costs between the prosecutor ami de
fendant. Judge Savldge took the verdict,
but told the jury that although they might
be honest about It, they were very much
mistaken In administering: justice in that
way. In a case where the evidence is
strong enough to warrant a conviction,
said he, any other vordlct brings the law
and the courts of Justice into disrepute.
The rebuke was doubtless a merited
one. but this particular Jury was no more
at fault than countless others have been
during the recent terms of courts. There
has been a general disposition to settle
all cases founded on personal encounter,
by dividing the costs between prosecutor
and defendant; or at the most of deciding
that the defendant was not guilty but di
recting him to pay the costs. The result
has been that personal safety hus been
rendered Insecure. Quarrelsome and mis
chievous persons have not hesitated to
attack inoffensive citizens, feeling that
the aggrieved would have no redress. By
entering the plea of self-defense, the ag
gressor has frequently succeeded In mulct
ing tne prosecutor ror nair the costs; and
branding him before the community ai a
charaetornot above the level of the defend
ant. On account of the small chances for
receiving justice, many -persons have suf
fered assaults, without bringing the mat
ter into court.
It is not long since a resident of thin
city, a gentleman celebrated among his
acquaintances for his umlable disposition,
was attacked by two young men. Ho
sought redress in the courts, but got noth
ing for his pains except a bill of costs. The
case was not any less flagrant than the
one which excited JuiIkp flavldae's In
dignation. Neitherisit a greater perversion
oi justice man scores mat occur during
the year. There may be times when a Jury
serves the ends of Justice when It divides
the costs, but that mode of settling cases
has become altogether too frequent of
late.
THE PRIMARIES' RESULT.
From the Scranton World.
There seems to be no ouestlon that the
result of yesterday's primaries resulted
in a victory for Colonel Kzra H. Hippie,
and that Tuesday's convention will give
him the nomination for mayor. This
Is practically the election, for the clean
record that he left when last he was the
city's chief magistrate seems to Dromise
but a forlorn hope to any opposing nomina
tion, ir tnis oe true, the citizens are to bo
congratulated. No occupant of the execu
tive chair ever conducted the affairs of the
city more wisely, or had a cleaner, more
reputable administration. In this all good
citizens without regard to political affilia
tions will agree. A3 he was a soldier,
brave and courageous, as he has ever been
a business man of most unanestloned in
tegrity, as ho Is In private life an exem
plar or virtue and morality, an exponent
of a true broad-gauged Christian gentle
man; so he was as mayor, and so he will
be when again at the head of the city gov
ernment. That he has won hands down.
n spite of the bitter factional ounosltlon
which confronted his candidacy, is th?
highest tribute which can be paid to him.
The loss of the nomination to Captain
Molr is in no wise a disparagement. Ha
made the best race against Colonel Rip
ple that could have been put uo bv anv
other member of the party, and it Is In It
self a tribute to the high esteem In which
he Is held. That the voters of his party
should have preferred a tried to an un
tried candidate is but natural In this
emergency, when the party Is Itself divid
ed, and his opponent was believed to be
the only man who was sure to win. ami
he will doubtless support the nominee.
Both are to be congratulated,
THE TRIBUNE ANNUAL.
One of the Best.
Philadelphia Press: One of thp beat of
the almanacs issued in -the state Is the
Scranton Tribune's annual. Its excellence
consists not alone in Its letter press, but
in the illustrations In half-tone, which are
reproductions of photographs of actual
scenes or of famous works of art. This
decorative feature Is balanced bv a com
pact digest of useful information, parti
cularly rich In local even-ts, that appeal
not only to Lackawanna and Luzerim
counties, but all northeastern Pennsylva
nia. The Tribune's annual Is all that an
almanac should be and In addition Is some
thing more.
