Election day, November 8. llesnlved, That the platform adopted nt the National convention of Democ racy In 1S90 bo endorsed fully and without reserve." Plank Second In the Platform of the Lackawanna Democ racy, adopted Aug. 24, ISO". The State Convention's Work. The work of the Republican state convention will satisfy all those mem bers of the party who desire to bo sat isfied and give dlhallsract!on only to those who seek a pretext to embarrass the party. The nominees are clean, nble and representative men, whoso honors have foetn won In nn open field nnd under the vigilant scrutiny of an clement which would promptly have detected und exploited any Haw In their .personal characters or public record. They innrit the party's undivided sup jiort. The platform, while It may not please those who wanted verbal fireworks, will jjencrally be recognized as a fair ex pression ot patty sentiment nnd a can did presentation of tho Issues upon which the ensuing campaign will bo conducted. Especially to be commend ed for Its frankness was the able speech of State Chairman Hlkln, a perusal of which it recommended to all who feel lukewarm In the faith. There Is every probability that Scrantou's public school buildings will not contain the throng of children who will demand admission next month. The advantage of larger buildings and ics: ft Ills may bo more o.nd more ap preciated as time passes. Ovcrtcsisiation. Quite timely and Instructive was the annual address yestciday delivered be fore the American Bar association bv Governor Griggs, of New Jersey. IPs subject, "Lawmaking," was Inttoduccd with the stt Iking and probably just te jnark that there Is "no one thing In all the various depattments of government or business that Is can led on with loss scientific or orderly method "than the making of laws," In suppott of which the speaker cited a mass of evidence. It Is unnecessary to follow him through that, since the evil of overleglslatlor. h seen nnd known by nil men; but vc cannot forbear to quote this true paru giaph: The process of turning a mental con ception Into a law is bo simple and easy In tho ordinary Btate legislature that laws are losing the sanction of solemnity and moral authority that they once pos sessed, Besides the spirit of obedience ns a patriotic duty, there was In former days a feeling of icerenee and owe to wards the body of the law as being the embodiment of the wisdom of government inspired by a very high regard for the welfare of society and promulgated only upon most careful nnd mnturo consid eration. The English race, havo been ' taught through centuries to regard hu man nnd divine law us closely related In their qualities of solemnity and au thority. To them the Inspiration nnd tho typo havo been the law that wns given on Mt. Slnal, with the fire that burned upon it, and the thunders and lightnings, and the thick cloud upon tho mount, nnd tho voice of tho trumpet exceeding loud, nnd tho people standing nfar off, awe-struck. "Render unto Caesar tho things that arc Caenr's" is tho dlvlno approval under which the Christian world has come to regard the law of tho land us possessed of a dlvlno sanction. Law, ns thus conceived, Js not a thing to be changed with every whim and cap rice of popular opinion. The governor of New Jersey deplores the fact that while every other depart ment of business, of trade, of arc, of commerce has its skilled nnd expeil onced men, there is no class of skilled legislators. And though the men win interpret law are specialists, vvhos? ob ject quite as often Is to d;'eat as to promote the intent of the statute, tho makers of the law In most Instances nie novices, picked up at random torn among tho various trades and protest-tons. "Generally speaking," he says, and says Justiy, "statutes ore tho po ducts of unacertalnablo authors chil dren of nobody unable to boast of lefl r.Ite parentage. No one certifies to their , ccmrleteness or accuracy. They t.ro not prepared upon careful plans, sub mltd C nnd supervised by expert awhl tccts of law-bitlldlng. It Is all chan:e art' haphazard; tho evsrt must deter mine whether they are t'0( d or bad, wr.tther they express the actual Intent of f'e author or some ln.t'nt entltely fcro'gn to his will." Once before ih'j pjeijlslature, "under tho pressure of the Introducer, with his persnntl pride Jn the ward of his legislative guardian ship, or because no positive evidence ol narm appears, or under the processes of logrolling, by which tho maxim 'one good turn deserves another' Is brought to bear upon the function of Iaw-mak-lnr, many measures that aro useless and some that are positively vicious re ceive tho approval of the majority and go to the executive for approval. The. practice Is to hold these measures back to tho closing days of tho session, when the attention of tho more careful and prudent Is relaxed or occupied; the 1 the Hood-gates are opened nnd new laws pour out In a torient that Is ter rifying to the careful conservatism of the bar nnd the courts, It seems," adds Governor Griggs, "that tho only Immediate remedy for this condition rerts In tho disapproval of the execu tive." As to remedies, the speaker takes no dock In propositions Involving essen tial changes In our parliamentary sys tem, and Is especially opposed to the inference of general lavvi to a popular vote of acceptance or rejection, "To Indulge," says he, "In the pructlco of the referendum, except upon such mat ters as constitutional amendments, would tend to- destroy confidence In our republican system nnd produce tho highest degree tit Instability, subject ing the Judgnjqnt j)t the uninformed nnd the passionate 'for that of the so- lected nnd responsible representatives." We do not, ho thinks, want the system changed; It Is "only necessary that our legislative bodies shall bo controlled, restrained nnd regulated by a proper sense of the solemnity and responsibil ity that pertain to tho power they exer cise: that they shall learn to respect the wisdom ot conservatism, to valuo stability mora than experiment." Ulennlal sessions, "more legislators with moral and legal backbone, "freer public discussion of measures In their Inclplency and a larger co-operation by representative lawyers In tho drafting of bills are advanced as feasible checks upon objectionable legislation; and In conclusion tho speaker offers these per tinent and specific hints to tnen called upon to make laws: ilako sure that tho old law Is really de ficient. Ho cnieful to consider whether the Inconvenience arising from tho de ficiency of tho old law Is of enouKh Im portance to drcrvc nn act Cf the legls liiture to euro It. He careful that tho remedy be not worso than tho disease. Avoid experiments In law-making, especially If recommended by men or parties who arc void ot knowledge, or wanting In rotpect for es tablished ciiMlomi. Do not go on tho Idea that tho world Is out of Joint, find you were born to set It tight. Olwervo accuracy In the use of lang uage, nnd avoid tho use of ambiguous ex presslonM. The tiddresi Is a valuable contrlbu bution to an Important subject. Those who labor under tho hallucin ation that tho Granger Is dead In this state may be surprised to learn that ten thousand people were present at tho Grangers' picnic at Carlisle on Thursday. Worthy to Look Upon. An example of that fine enthusiasm In labor which, In whatever field of human toll It Is manifested, always adds to the sum of human advantage Is afforded In the case of General Duf- fleld, tho present superintendent ot United States coast survey. In the battle of Murfrcsboro General Duttleld sustained a wound which occnslonid such Intense pain that the only relief ho could get came from some form of close mental application. lie began the preparation of a tabte of logarithms to the average man doubtless as dry a task as It Is possible to conceive. After a time ho beenme Interested In his work and, to cut the story short, now, after thlity years of continuous labor on this table, during leisure hours, General Dufileld Is about to give the completed work to the public, free, In the form of a government report. The magnitude of thegeneral's under taking will be appreciated by mathe maticians when they learn that the tables In his forthcoming book will in clude logarithms for each second of every nnglo up to two degrees, and for every 10 seconds from two degrees to U0 degrees, and the logarithms of In tegral numbers up to 100,000. These aro carried out to 10 places, although the calculation was made to 12 places, the tenth figure being determined by the last two. There has, It is said, been no computation of this sort made since the tables of Von Vega, the Ger man mathematician, which were pub lished In 1701. In comparing his work with that of tho German, General Duf ileld has found more than one hundred and twenty errors In his predecessor's computations. Very likely only a few of Tho Tri bune's renders havo use for logarith mic tables or understand the value of such computations In certain lines of higher mathematical work. But we suspect that every person who has tho ability to appreciate unselfish toll In tho behalf of tho general welfare will be interested In this little narrative of one brave man's steadfastness In a pursuit that offered no kind of Incent ive in tho form of money rewards or human applause. At a time when tho most frequently offered Ideal of suc cess Is that of a career hewn from poverty to commanding wealth and pomp and vainglory It will not do any of us harm to contemplate briefly a different Ideal which also has Its place In the table of true values. It is well enough to appeal to Spain not to be so ferocious In Cuba, but an appeal may sometimes be best empha sized with a club. Unnecessary Sympathy. The young man, "William Rooney, who killed Alphonso Pecnrd and nearly suc ceeded In taking the life of Miss Sel helm, to whom Plcard was engaged, Is receiving much sympathy In the City of Brotherly Lovo and elsewhere, on the grounds that the deed was com mitted as tho result of a cruel hoax. A brother of the murdered man had sent a letter to Booney, purporting to be from Miss Selhelm, and maklpg an appointment with him in response to a letter asking her for an Interview. Ho went to the place named and upon dis covering that ho was the victim of a Joke which made him ridiculous, fren zied with jealousy and rage, sent the fatal shot at his rival. It would appear that sympathy Is wrongly expended In this case, since It is probable that tho crime was only hastened by the cruel hoax, and would have been committed at some later time. A man who takes to drink because the object of his af fections refuses his addresses, or who goes frantic with Jealous rage at tho sight of her with his rival, Is not likely to postpone his revenge Indefinitely. The fact that the hoax was perpetrated, adds horror to tho crime, but Is no jus tification of tho murderer. There Is en tirely too much of the reckless shoot ing of sweethearts and rivals by jeal ous lovers and the one who thus takes life deserves little pity from a tender hearted public. - - The fact that an Italian prince has succeeded In scaling Mt. St. Ellas when Americans havo failed, Is a proof that the sunny land that gave to history tho discoverer of a new world nnd that has produced the supremo creations of art, Is not yet'exhausted, but proposes to distinguish herself nlong unexpected lines. Americans havo always held to tho belief that they could breatho on a higher piano than most people, but it now seems that they must yield prece dence to the Italian. Tho Illinois orderly who denied Pres ident McKlnley admission to tho Grand Army of the Republic encampment at Buffalo yesterday, because the prenl dent came In a carriage, doubtless Im agined that ho was doing a heroic act nfter tho mannsr ot tho sentry of tradi tion who refused to allow the general to pass without the countersign. As Mr. McKlnley had come to visit tho camp In response to a special Invita tion, tho refusal on part of the or derly to let his carriage pass the lines was a gross Insult. Too much red tapo In times of pence Is nauseating, and even In military circles the opinion that the officious orderly made w ass of litmsslf will probably bo unanimous. Two enterprising Klmlrn men havo been disappointed In their ambition to realize fame nnd fortune. They had discovered a recipe for making splendid whiskey out ot several very strange things, in fact not from familiar spir its In any Bense. They nover seemed to realize that there could be any pos sible legal objection to selling their secret to other thirsty Individuals at twenty-five dollars a head, and wero probably tho most surprised people In the universe when the revenue olllcers swooped down upon them and after tasting their whiskey and pronounc ing It very good, Indeed, proceeded to arrest them. Verily, the way of the Inventor Is hard. There may bo times when strikers labor at a heavy disadvantage, but for a real safe, sure thing It would seem that the occasion when a hotel propri etor Is expected to furnish breakfast to the president of the United States and Mark Ilanna, offer peculiar Induce ment to a striking corps of table wait ers. THE KLONDIKE GOLD DUQ. Selected Lditorinls. Pntrons aro cordially Invited to call anil witness the printing of tho edition of the "Bug" on our now Washington hand press. Tho patent hanging roller Is a labor-saving devlco of great vnlu? to the kid who Inks tho form. All rend ers Interested In machinery should see it work. Colonel Bill Hawker received his solar plexus yesterday afternoon. Colonel Bill diifted to this region from Kansas and is said to have been nn ex-grasshopper sufferer. While ostensibly posing as a book agent Colonel Bill has been en deavoring to do everybody nt sight. His persistence in soliciting loans finally be came unbearable, and our citizens re solved to act promptly. Colonel BUI was taken to tho barber shop and relieved of his whiskers and a portion of his flowing locks, and was escorted to the outskirts of town nnd requested to stako out claims elsewhere. With his usual gall Colonel Bill nttempted to rcmonstrnto with tho committee, but upon observing a ropo In tho hand3 of Iko Tumor ho gracefully yielded tho lloor and departed. We havo been Informed that a certain lantern-Jawed dyspeptic down tho street has alleged that the "Bug" discourages Immigration. This Is not so; and wo hereby brand tho originator of the Idea as a malicious llnrl The "Bug" extends the hand of fellowship to all healthy citizens who will assist In developing tho country. Wo do object, however, to the Influx of worn-out politicians from the east, who como hero calculating to hold ofllce. We want It understood that the editor of the "Bug" expects to be postmaster when an oflleo Is established, and wo don't propose to bo side-tracked by any knock-kneed "has beens" from eastern towns that havo becomo too hot for them. Tho Bonegulch ghost story appears to have been founded on fiction. It turns out that story of tho tall woman In black originated with Zeko Carr, tho horse valet. Zeko was returning from Slatter's pavllllon lato nt night on te evening that a Jag agent from Sitka had been painting tho town while Intro ducing a new brand of whiskey. Zeke's opinion of tho liquor, ns an expert, was asked, and It was after tho opinion had been given several times that Zeko saw tho ghost. A reporter for the "Bug" has demonstrated to tho timid citizens of Bonegulch that the ghost was noth ing but a black plno stump. Zeko has sinco signed tho pledge. The Present Scope of Government From a Paper Bead Yesterday at Cleve land, O., by Eugene Wambaugh, of Cambridge, Mass., Before tho American Bar Association, To get an cery day basis for discuss ing tho scopo of government, let us as sume that statutes recently In force aro In force still, and let us then vlow rapidly tho experiences of an Imaginary Boston l'n during a day differing in no respect from ordinary days In short an averaso dully recoid of an average man. Ho be gins th(. day by bathing in water sup plied by tho public through an elaborate system of public pumps and reservoir and pipes, and his tto ot the water Js guarded by public regulations as mlnuto as those ccntatrcd in a carefully drawn contract. After use, tho water escapes through tho citizen's own plumbing sys tem; but that privcto plumbing syston has been constructed In accordanco with public regulations, Is subject to lnspec tlon by public olilclals, and empties into sewers constrvctcd and managed by tne pubMc. After drejtlng himself In cloth ing of which every Item Is probably tho subject of a national tariff intended to nffect In some way production or price, hu goes to his breakfast table, and finds thcro not only tablo linen, china, glass knives, forks, and spcons, each of them a subject of the same natloral protection, but also food, of which almost every Item has been actually or potentially lnspe:t ed, or otherwise regulated, by the na tional or state or municipal government. Tho meat has been subject to inspection. Tho bread has been made by the baker In loaves of a certain statutory welgtit. The butter, If It happens to bo oleomar garine, has been colored and stomped oe statutes require. Tho milk has been fur. nlshed by a milkman whoso dairy Is of ficially inspected and whose milk must reach a certain statutory standard. Tho chocolate has been bought In cakes stamped in the statutory manner. Tho remnants of tho breakfast will bo car ried away by public garbage carts; and tho public will also caro for tho ashes of tho coal that cooked the meal. 0 Nor do this nverago Bostonlan and hU family escapo from public control upon rising from tho table, Tho children aro by law compelled to go to school; and though there Is an option to attend a prl vnte school, tho city furnishes a school nnd school books gratuitously, and It tho public school be chesen, tho hours of at tendance, tho objects ot study, and all other dotal Is are quite Independent of the children s or parent's choice. As for tho fa:hr himself, wlen he reaches his door ho finds that public servants are girdling his tiees with burlaps ard searching his premises for traces of the gypsy moth. Without stopping to reflect that he has not been reked to permit these public ser vants to go upon his property, ho stepa out upon a tridowalk constructed In ac cordance with public requirements, crosses a sttcet paved and watered and swept by the public, enters a street car whoso route, speed, and faro are regu lated by the public. Beaching the center of the city, ho ascends to his office L-y an elevator subject to public Inspection, nnd reads t:io mall that has been brought to him from all rarts of the United States by public servants, Jf tho dimness of hU oflleo may cauao him to rcgrot that sunlight appears to bo outsldo of public protection, he may bo answtreJ that by recent provisions the height of buildings Is regulated and the malicious ron&tructlon of high fences Is prohibited. If now hu IcaveH his oflleo and goes to tome store or factory in which ho owns an Interest, ho finds that for female em ployes cfholrs must bo provldod, that children must not bo employed In certain kinds of work, that dangerous machinery must be fenced, that flro escapes must bo furnlfCied, and probably that tho goods produced or sold must bo marked or packed In a certain way or must reach a certain standard. Indeed, whatever this man's business may be, It Is almost cer tain that In ono way or another the pub lic's hand comes between him and his employe, or between him nnd his custo mer. 0 Icavlng his store or his factory, this avcrngo man deposits money In a bank, Which is carefully Inspected by public of ficials, nnd which Is compelled by the pub lic to refrain from certnln modes ot In vestment and also to publish periodical statements of its condition. He then makes a payment to an Insurance com pany, whloh Is subject to even stricter statutory regulations Ho then goes to Bast Uostot' nnd back, upon a ferry boat owned and managed by tho public. When finally oil tho business ot tho day Is fin ished, this imaginary Bostonlan walks through the Common nnd tho Public Gar den and soon enters tho Public Library, which Is the latest nnd most striking cx projslon of the public's Interest in tho In dividual. Leaving tho Public Library, ho strolls past a free bath houso sustained by tho public and then past a. free public out door gymnasium; and then hastens homo through streets that public ser vants aro now beginning to light. When this Bostonlan roaches home, he can re flect that ho has pased no very extraordi nary day. If events had been a little dif ferent, tho public would havo furnished steam flro engines to ptotect his house, or a policeman to find a lost child for him, or an ambulance to take his cook to tho city hospital, or a health officer to In spect his neighbor's premises. o Is the result bereficlal? Undoubtedly thcro aro defects; but, looking at tho question in a iurgo way, It seems clear that the growth of governmental tunc, tlons has been wise and necessary. Ho1 clso could tf.10 great mnss of tho pecplo hao secured schools, libraries, parks, wator, sowers, protection against fire? How else could the great mass of tho peo ple hava 'beeni protected against un wholcsotno food and against overcharges for transportation? How else could many of tho advances In knowledge have been prevented from benefiting almost exclu sively a nanow circle? Nor have these desirable results been obtained ut an un reasonable cost. The expenditures of tho city of Boston are larger, per capita, than those of most cities. Yet, at the usual rate of taxation, what Is the total amount of taxes, for all city nnd stato purposes, paid by a Bostonlan whoso taxable prop erty Is raso..ably worth $15,000, and whose Income from profcsMon or trade is Jt.OOJ? Tho total amount Is $217.00. This sum procures, among other things, the many services (primary, incidental and en larged) already Indicated, Including po lice, flro department, streets, parks, sew ers, charitable Institutions, library, schools, and school books. In private hands, how far would J217.C0 go toward se curing these numerous services? Not withstanding tho extravagance of public officials nn extravagance that probably characterizes tho fame persons In private life so expensive is small administra tion as compared with large administra tion, that tho sum thus paid for numerous public services would hardly procuro from a private school tho mere tuition ot two children; and, besides, in thoroughness of Instruction and in completeness of outfit few prlvato schools, would ceek compari son with the schools furnished by tho public. Still further, while laziness and inefficiency are no doubt the rule In most occupations, both public and private. It Is qutto ns Invariably the rule that pub lic service Is not less skillful and satis lnctory than private service. Is your cook more elficlent, on the average, than tho policeman or the fireman? Does the gaa company give better service than tho water department? Does a new rail way company pleaso tho public better than does the postollicc? As to tho probabilities for the future, what can cnosay? Simply that what has happened heretofore Is likely to continue to happen Thero Is co reason to expect that by and by governments will begin to lnlcrfero unwarrantably with indi vidual liberty, or to undcrtako more than it can successfully perform. Nor, on the other hand, is there reason to fear that governments will fall to enlarge Its scopo a.i soon as there Is seen to be a public de mand for enlargemtnts. For centuries two Intents havo guided tho law, wheth er statutory or Judge-made; tho Intent to guard Individual liberty and the Intent to secure public welfare. Thcro Is no rea son 'to fear that either one of these deep seated Intents ill bo uprooted, nor that tho tlmo will ever como when a state ment of tho actual scope of governments will ceaso to furnish a fair answer to the apprehensions of the pessimist and tho demands of the revolutionist. THE DIVINE JUDOAIENT. From tho Springfield Republican, Tho problem of negro ravishment of whlto women and lynch law proves too much for .tho Charleston News and Courier. It has carefully considered the question, und keenly realizes tho public scandal of the brutal mob punUhmont3 meted out to rapists, but it can make no suggestion of a remedy: "The trouble uppearu to us, however, to bo that nil tho measures of 'reform' that havo been pro posed havo regard to tho results of an un. natural and wrong condition or things existing In our country, and Ignoro their cause, which Is In that condition Itself. Wo do 1 ot propose to go Into the subject here at length. It Is enough to say, In stead, that we be'.levo that the practice of lynching for all crimes save one, could readily bo eradicated, end that It owes Its continuance to that crime alone. And tho prevalence of that crime Is due to a condition of things that Is peculiar to this country, and that Is itself asserted to bo beyond remedy. It Is the comming ling of two absolutely unlike, unequal, and lntuslblo races of men In tho same territory, under circumstances that ln suro an unceasing und unending con flict between them, tho intensity ot which Is modified only by tho weakness and de pendence of the one. Tho laws ot nature require unlike peoples to dwell apart. Wc cannot violate theso law& and hope to escape their penalty." o This feeling of hopelessness pervades tho south, and naturally grows out of tho Immemorial attitude maintained by tho whites toward tho blacks. If this condi tion of negro subserviency Is Inevitable, and tho price of peace and order, then thero 1 small hope that tho problem should bo solvablo; for tho negro cannot be treated as a brute or Inferior being with any softening effect on his brute propensities. Terrible r'. have been tho punishments visited upon tho negro rapist, they hnvo been proved to havo no restraining effect, nnd tho extreme bar barities practiced by tho whites In this connection havo In all cases been fol lowed by fresh offenses by the blacks. Wo should supposo this fact would sug gest to tho popular mind tho possibility that other and moro dignified methods of administering Justice In such cases might havo moro deterrent elicots, o Ono cannot listen to such cries ot de spair, however, without thinking of that wondjrfully ImpresMvo passage in Lin coln's second Inaugural address: "Fondly do we hope, fervently do wo pray that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Vet, It God wills that It continue until ail tho wealth piled by tho bondman's 250 years of unrequited toil shall bo sunk, and until every drop ot blood drawn with tho lash shall bo paid by another drawn with tho sword, as was uald 3,000 years ago, so still it must be said, 'Tho Judgments of the Lord are truo and righteous altogether.' " But how far short even this comes of describ ing the full measure of tho woo to fall unto many by generations upon those1 through whom this orrenso of negro im portation and servitude came, these later events most forcibly demonstrate, Thcro was still left tho problem which the most Intelligent nnd philanthropic In tho south cannot face without shrinking. Verily, "Woo unto tho world because of of-enses."
