It would be a joke on several prom inent politicians In JlllnolH if Senator Cullom were to be nominated at St. Louis In oplte of their rather petty op position. Stamp Out Mob Lawlessness. Our esteemed afternoon contempo rary, the Truth. dlBsents from the prop osition that Inasmuch ns the legal au thorities have permitted ltuthven to .hold public meetings In this region, hus tacitly conceding the legality of ils course, they ought to see mat ne is slven ample legal protection. We. must take Issue with It on that point. We do not uphold Ruthven. Wo think his work In tills community grossly per nicious. Uut the liberty of speech Is a ny other zealot, whatever his race or creed. We consider that the Ruthven ques tion, in Its legal aspect. Is plain. The ,f I thing which the authorities have to . lslder Is whether Ruthven, In his public talks, violates any statute. If lie does, he should Immediately he ar rested, and not permitted to hold an other public meeting in this vicinity. If he does not, he Is within his legal rights and so long as he remains within them It Is the duty of the authorities to see that he Is not molested. Whether innocent or guilty of a violation of law, Ruthven should be protected from mob violence. Regularly established courts of Justice are open to those who think Ruthven a public nuisance. The rule of mobs Is directly contrary to law; It Is repugnant to every sense of justice, and It must not be tolerated on any ac count In this civilised community. If we excuse mob law in one case, we open the door to It in any and all other cases. If a mob may, without hindrance, try to lynch Ruthven, it may at any other time, with equal propriety, feel com missioned to deal out arbitrary judg ments until we should soon have no or der at ail, but total disorder, it not anarchy. We are not ready to believe that the duly authorized courts of law In Lacka wanna county are so uncertain In their administration of justice that It 0a necessary for disorderly mobs to take the law into tlielr own hands and ad minister It on frontier principles by means of the pistol, the billy, and the missile. We consider that lawlessness is lawlessness, whether committed by Protestant or Catholic, singly or In mobs that terrify women and bring shame and scandal on the community which tolerates or extenuates them. The Philadelphia Bulletin, which has recently become one of the best after noon newspapers In the United States, has reduced Us price to one cent. The dally column on "Men and Things" by "Penn" is alone worth ten times that price. A Misuse of Power. . Governor Altgeld of Illinois may have his weak points, but he is emphatically and everlastingly right when he de clares that "the judicial department Is as proper a subject of criticism by the people as the executive or judicial branches of the government. The time has not come when any American of ficeholder can close the mouths of the people who created him and the office he holds. A proper respect Is due to all the branches of the government and Is necessary to good government. At the same time a proper respect for the rights of the people must also be main tained, which Is also necessary to good government. There are three branches of the government. Each is Independ ent ot the other and It one may be criticised anotljfmay be." The newspapers Within the past three months have contained mention ot sev eral Instances in which judges, smarting under printed criticisms, from the bench have threatened the authors of those strictures with summary , vengeance. In few cases have these threats been carried out, because even indignant Judges realize, upon reflection, that they cannot rightfully claim immunity from publto scrutiny and, If necessary, criticism. But here and there one finds judges who so far forget the proprieties of their high office as to use the extra ordinary function of a contempt pro ceeding as a means ot arbitrary retalia tion i and It doubtless! was with that class of Jurists la mind that .Governor Altgeld recently used the words which j bein tnia artule. It la to the. credit of American jour nalism that its treatment of the ju diciary is, upon the whole, much more respectful Ihun Is Us treatment ct either the , executive or the leg islative branches. Eut we refuse to believe' that this extra respect originates in fear, or that it can be preserved by means of threata of summary seizure and commitment. Indeed, the bench Ehould court even more searching and unsparing scru tiny than l: today receives from the press. ' If any asency can keep the bench pure In the midst oif the promis cuous contaminations of political strife, the :ress can by focusing uKn It the careful attention of an otherwise In different community. One proposition Is self-evident; and that Is that men who will so far give way to violent prejudices as to throw stones at a street car in which de fenceless women are seated deserve no consideration. They should be prose cuted to the fullest limits of the law. Only cowards fight women. An Unfair Argument. A peculiar argument Is made by the Chicago Times-Herald in behalf of Mc Klnley. It Is' that Pennsylvania and New York and the other northern slates which cast the largest percentage of the total Republican vote ought not to be deferred to in Republican national conventions, because they are safe any way. Upon this principle, states which are faithful to the party should be Ignored because of their faithfulness, and the fatted calf should be killed and cooked for the delectation of the erratic and uncertain prodigal sons. The Times-Herald doesn't state tjie case In quite so many words, but tjils Is a fair inference from what It does say, which follows: The influence of the great states mean ing thereby New York und Pennsylvania - was more potent In the nominations and presidential elections of past years than It Is today. It used tu he said that "as Pennsylvania goes so goes the union," but that dh'tum no longer prevails, nor can prevail. In the eurly days, when the stutes were few In number, those that possessed the largest population neces sarily had the greatest power. Naturally enough for many years thes? states wro all-power nd, not only In dictating candi dates tut also In electing them, and in nearly every election from the time of Jefferson to the present day New York hus been represented on one ticket or the oilier of the contending parties. Of tho vice-presidents New York has had Burr, Clinton, Tompkins. Van Buren, I'lllmore, Wheeler, Arthur and Morton. Two of these, Fillmore und Arthur, succeeded to the presidency by virtua of their olllce. Of presldei.ts elected by ithe people New York has hud Van Buren and Cleveland. Pennsylvania has not fared quite so well, having had one vice-president, Ueorge M. lallas, and one president. James Buchan an. Hut the scopter Is now passing away from these great stales, und their Influ ence Is no longer material. In the last presidential election Cleveland did not carry Pennsylvania and lie was easily elected Without New York. The electoral strength of the people Is passing to the middle west, and it will be the states lying between the Alleghanles and the Missouri which will determine the next election. Thus It Is evident that the peo pie have nothing to fear from the bosses of New York and Pennsylvania. We must confess that we cannot see the justice of our bright but prejudiced contemporary'u argument. A national convention Is a family affair. It should be a place where loyalty and steadfast ness are not ostracised. It should be a place where honors are given in ex change for demonstrated merit and by merit we mean not necessarily the glamor of superficial popularity resting upon no solid foundation of worthy performance, but merit covering a va riety of tests and not forgetting politi cal service. It should, In a Republican sense, be a place where the states that form the party's backbone can get, at least once in a while, fair treatment and a fair share of the houors. With spec ial reference to Pennsylvania we should say that the wlshps of a delega tion having behind it a quarter of a million Republican plurality ought In a Republican national convention to re ceive certainly as much consideration as the wishes of the carpet-bag delega tions from the voteless south or those of the volatile delegations from the fickle northwest. It an army were to choose Us general, would the camp followers, the raw re cruits or the trained regulars be consid ered the best judges of his qualifica tions? Uncle Sam's treasury deficit for the first quarter of 1896, under the "perfidy and dishonor" tariff, amounts to pre cisely $17,000,000, or more than $2 apiece for every voter who, four years ago, voted to turn the Republicans out. We guess there' are few of them who wouldn't give- $2 apiece to undo that The Gold Craze. The action of the Manufacturers' club of Philadelphia In "declaring its un alterable opposition to the free coinage of silver by the United States alone" was coupled with a modifying clause which says that "the question of bi metallism can be permanently settled only through an International agree ment." The club does not say whether It would like to witness an International bimetallic agreement, although It Is fair to infer from Its resolutions of a year ago, which declared In favor of inter national bimetallism, that It would. Its avoidance of a committal state ment on that point in its resolutions of March 30 is, however, significant ot the rapid progress which has been made under the whip and spur of the present Democratic administration toward gold monometallism. When we consider that four years ago both the leading parties declared In plain terms for bimetallism, either by international ' agreement or by other safe action, the present aggressive ad vance ot the gold single standard senti ment in this country becomes more than ever remarkable. If this were In a large degree a creditor nation, produc ing little and living chiefly on dividends and Interest payments, this advance could be readily accounted for. In that event It would clearly be to our Interest to have an appreciating standard ot values, whereby debts would In effect be artificially Increased by the taking away of practically half of the means of paying them. But when we recollect that the American people are in the main a nation of debtors and producers, this movement toward a contraction of the basis of our currency can be ac counted for In no more complimentary wSfcX than by calling It one of those phenomena if popular hallucination common among democratic Institutions. ' However, there Is always on coufo lallon to those who look at such plie-. nomena In a philosophic mood. The ' pendulum cannot Indefinitely awing in 1 one direction. A reaction la sure to come, lfriay come seen or it may be leng deferred, but Its coming. In the end. is inevitable. The world did not. for four thousand years, use silver and gold together as a double standard, for nothing: nor Is the civilization cf this fin de slecle period so perfect that It can Bafely venture to discard, for all time to come, the economic teaching ot the centuries which form the background to human progress. We have had the silver craze. We are now apparently In the tidal wave of the gold craze. I'yc and bye we will recur to common tense principles, and then we will re-establish the bimetallism of the past. Probably the best way for the Wyom ing conference to get rid of the Hogan issue is to Ignore its subject as beneath serious notice. Make a Safe Choice. Says General Clurkson: "V.Tlo the candidate will rrove to be at St. Louis no one can tell, but it will be the man who will best stand the severe analysis sure to be made there, or the man who will be the strongest In second-choice strength. In my opinion, Senator Alli son, who has the most central position of all the candidates and has the broad est record as to experience In states manship, and who has never been the candidate of factions, and who Is equal ly strong east, west and south, Is most likely to be the man. Iowa Republi cans feel this, but they are ready to sup port loyally and to carry their state overwhelmingly for any man chosen at St. I.ouiti. They have no disposition, however, to force a candidate upon the doubtful or necessary states, unless uuch states see in the Iowa choice th? strongest man." This Is an eminently sensible view to take. The battle for the presidency will not be won at St. Louis. It will have to be fought out. Inch by Inch, after the nominations are made. Therefore, while Republican success looks gratify ingly probable, It should not be taken for granted. The campaign should be organized upon the strongest and most effective lines possible. Just as much so as If the result were In doubt. Tliat will be best for the purty and also be3l for the country. The nominee should be a man acceptable to the recognized leaders as well as acceptable to the shouters of the party, for while shout era are well enough in their way It takes leadership to win. POLITICAL rOlMS. James 3. Clarkson ipredlcts that from this time forward three out of every four states that will choose national delegates will favor other candidates than AlcKln ley. He thinks the McKlnley boom an artificial one, and says it has already be gun to wane. He adds: "The Invasion of Illinois as against Cullom, the organiza tion In that state with money and bureaus to Induce Illinois districts to declare for the Ohio and not for the Illinois candi date; the Invasion and capture of Minne sota for McKlnley as ugalnst Senator Davis, a man with the ability to be presi dent and as worthy of it as McKlnley; and the Invasion of Nebraska as against Manderson, have all been victories for McKlnley that will In the end prove to have been more costly than defeats. This reckless plunge Into the states of oth'r candidates has alienated many Republi cans who would make 'McKlnley their second choice. McKlnley men and money were sent Into Iowa to try to Induce coun ty conventions there to declare first or second choice for the Ohio candidate re gardless of Allison's Interepts or of Iowa's self-respect. Men were sent there to try to defeat my election as a delegate to the national convention because I had pre sumed to be for a candidate of my own state and one who has qualifications at least as good as 'McKlnley's, anil whose strength as a candidate I consider su perior to McKlnley's. I know how the Republicans of Iowa feel as to the In trusion upon 'their state, and I have no doubt that the Republicans of the other slates have the same feeling. This course on the part of McKlnley's management gives authority for Republicans to be nntl-McKlnley In Ohio Just .the same hs Minnesota Republicans have been Induced to be anti-Davis or some Illinois Republi cans antl-Cullom. The echoes of the strange contests forced In Minnesota, Illi nois and Nebraska are not unlikely to be heard the loudest In Ohio Itself." II II II According to the Pittsburg Dally News, Frank Willing Leach has created disor der in the Quay ranks. It says: "The young man with the elaborate head and overweening ambition has vaulted Into leadership In such a way almost as to set at defiance his patron and protector. Senator Quay. Leach is always doing something of this kind fie has been n disturbing element ever since he entered politics. In ' 1881 fresh, as a daisy he stood beside Chairman Quay In the state convention s secretary of the body, nnd a month 'later lie was a follower of the black flag raised by Charles Wolfe when he opposed Bailey for state treasurer. In 1682 ho was the secretary of the 8tewart committee, and howled himself hoarso over the defeat of General Beaver for gover nor. From this he slid, with easy grace, Into the city controller's olllce, under a Democrat, where he remained until he made his peace with the city powers, af ter which he fonti 1 his way Into the sher iff's office by the grace of Martin, only to turn on him when ho needed political ns slstance. Since then he has been with Quay. How long lie will remain Is a ques tion. If Quay does not soon 'lire' him, Krnnk will 'lire' himself. It Is generally understood that Quay Is not the least pleased over the bold way In which the young man has pushed himself to the front as a candidate for state chairman, and the rupture will come when, next month, flio state convention re-elects Chairman Quay." II II II The Republicans of Tioga county, tit their coming primary elections, are to have a chance to declare by their own votes whom they prefer ns a candidate for president. As it is understood th Re nirhlicans of Lycoming county will nlso have a nopulnr vote, more than two thirds of all the Republicans In the dis trict will have been heard from, M II II Kx-Lleutennnt Governor Chaimcey V. Rlack Is at the head of the movement to take a tarty of Pennsylvania Democrats to the Jeft'emonlan reunion at Montlollo. Va on the occasion of the birthday of Thomas Jefferson. II M II .

Of Carlisle, ns a Republican candidate fur congress In the York -Cumberland-Adams l"s"'U't' ' Mr. HI.AINE'S IDEA OF RKCIPKOCHY W. R. Curtis, in Chicago Record. I am asked whether Mr. Illulne ever said, "Ke11 your tariff to trade, on," und under what circumstance he said It. That was a favorite expression of Mr. lllalne, and he used It frequently when ho was trying to hammer the reciprocity Idea Into the heads of the LI congress. The first ami most Important occasion that ( ever heard It wus at what Is known as Ihe hnt-smnahlng Interview In the room of the senate committee on appropriations In tho summer of 18W), when Ihe 'McKlnley tnrlfT bill -was tinder consideration. He weVt to tho capitol to confer with the committee on npproprlnllon concerning certain provlrtonu he desired made to car ry aut the recomimnndaitlona'of the Into nafionnl America-it conference. There were present Mr. Hale, Mr. Allison, Mr. HI ckburn, Mr. Hulterworfi and several otl or gentlemen, hihI the discussion tu net upon the reciprocity amendment wl Ich had been refected by the houae of ra irtiNntatlves and was pending in the rommkte en flnanc. lt spoke with t -aratnea. nJ. having his silk tat In hts hand, brocthl It down upon the tal.K- kIia mica ior- as to ama.a lu tha crevn like an acccrUlon. Amor. ciher thing he said: "You have built i, our domestic Industries by a pro tective. tariff until they r now producing far more than the country can consume, and the manufacturers and farmers neeJ a foreign ntarket for their surplus. Don't reduce your duties without requiring for eign countrteu to reciprocate. Tell thein that we will take our duties off their Kuoda when they take their duties oif ours. Keep your tatiiT to trade on. Don't throw away tha duty cn migar as w threw away tho duty on cohce and tea. Mako tha ugar ar.il coffee growing na tions put our products on their free lists bulore you put their products on ours. Wo furnish them their most prodtablo markets. Meke them buy our mervhau dlso In exchange." That waa the Blaine Idea of reciprocity. THE HYPNOTIZED BEF0BTEB. One of the things to 'be dreaded by good citizens generally who take pride In the fair name of Scranton, Is the artist ot the Philadelphia. Sunday Press, who has focussed his comic vulentlne camera upon the ladies of the Klvctrlc City. Courts ot Justice occasionally offer protection to the unfortunate who are libeled by pen or tongue, but in case of the cross-eyed art ist there Is no redress, und handsome wo men about us are obliged to relruln -their wrath as best they may when beholding caricatures of thtmselves prepured by Ihe clreus-postcr etcher of the Press. In case of wicked man it does not matter. The politician does not mind being madd to look like the late Charles Ouiteau or an ancient mummy find. In fact, tho more he cun be tirade to look like a mur derer or a chlld-siealer, the better tils chances of success at tho polls. But no society lady of Scranton desires to hava her name attached to what might be a p.iinpoitite 'portrait of l.ydlu Plnkham and Alderman Ham Jones, of Carbondale. They would rather remain in oblivion and blush unseen than bo known as under studies to the Howery tough girl or the tatooed woman from ltorneo. 1 feel that 1 am voicing the sentiments of a largo number of hundjome and refined Scran ton women In entering a protest against the nefarious work of the Philadelphia sketch artist. lu spite or the fact that Lillian Blau velt's manager has stated that all of her American enitagements for this season have been cancelled, the Wllkes-Uarre papers continue to anounce her appear ance In that city In the near future. This peculiar discrepancy may perhaps be ac counted for by the, excusable supposition on the part of the fair Lilly that Wllkes Barre Is out of place lu the United States, anyhow. . I should like to make a few remarks upon the Krothlughum Arcade portico, but the possibility that something new might unconsciously 'be said upon the subject makes me hesitate. Allow me to express tho hope, however, that the por tico question will not occupy the time ot the street commissioner and councils oil summer in u way that will make them forget that Scranton's streets need clean ing. An excavating party that would uncover the pavement on Washington avenue, between Hpruce and Mulberry streets, for instance, would be as wel come as the blossoms of spring.
