Tlio Cnibondalc Hoiabl talks sense nt last when it sns: "The talk of. a contest over the otllrei of sheriff, ills tilct nttorney anil prothonotnry, Is not founded In r.ilm Judgment. The oillclal U'tuins have rKcii thoo olllcet to the Ropiiblirnn candidates by safe plut ulltlns. Unless there is abundant evi dence of uioss fiauds n contest would lint lie justified. Contests have fallen Into (lif-fmor with the people. The Spirit of fait play piompts thedcfeatid e.uulldntes to accept the eidlct of the pollg. Uusldes, theio Is little ienon to believe that n contest would chaiiRe the tesult. The hlstoiv of the county KliajvH that the Demociats nlways loe n .TArgcr petrcntnife of otes on a con test'' than the Republicans do." Inas mtieh ns the Heiald In the lecent rum lialRtl supported the Demc.ci.itlc ticket Its advlto can be nccettcl ns untitle turuil with partiality for the Republi can cause. Vo have not hltheito paid any at tention to the vapory chatter which has been current ccmcotnlnir purpoited contests, for the simple reason tli.it theto Is nothliiK to contest. After every close election we heir this same kind of attenuated Rossip. it utiely means anything mou- than a willingness on tho patt of some of the defeated can didates to be silenced foi n consider ation. A'e do not Know that any of the defeated Dcmnci.itlc candidates this J oar is seckliiR huh money and we have too lilRh an opinion of them to bellee that such Is their aim. Hence the prevalent tumors of Impending con testD hnr made no Impiossion on our mind, and hae been nseiibed mciely to the uatuial effci vescence of par tisan disappointment. Ulit If the Idea of beginning a con test has received serious consideration in any ciunitcr, wo lerommcnd to thoo who ontettaln tills Idea a careful peru sal Of tho wot lis above quoted, Tho Republicans, wo may say, ate ready to defend their own, and shall they bo forced to do -o, will prove it no dlfll tult task. Hut on Grounds of public policy and economy a contest would be unjustifiable; and on these grounds all good citizens should discoutage the contemporary effoits to foment one. Tho esteemed "Wllkes-Carre Rccoid should not permit its sensitive neives to Mutter too .severely concerning the Republican situation in Lackawanna. The oillclal returns for Lu?ernc county show tho existence nearer homo of subjects much moio lit for Its solici tude. The Case of Sheriff Martin. Tho opinion Is expressed bv the T'hllndelpWa Times that tho result) of tho ttlal of Sheiiff Martin must bo "a gieatly widened and deepened re spect for tho majesty of the law in th anthracite coal legion" Our con temporaiy may peichnnee be eoirect if no dare assume that .Sherllf Martin and his deputies will receive at this caily elate and in the piesent public tempet a fair and Impartial tilal. Rut if prejudice and passion, entering into the determination of this cae as they have largely governed the nubile dlsciibsli.n of it, shall on the fiist trial result In a veidlit of guilty, tan it le dounil to the stability of law and tho piovalenco of good order in communi ties whole thcilffs at bst nie icgaided by elements In tho population as pub lie enemies and sheriffs posses deemed on gtneial principles fit taisrets of uuJutK.itluu and assault? Let us look nt this matter calm ly and with a view not simply to im mediate but nlsu to ultimate conse quences. Will it ledound to the peace and good older of the mining regions to have It borne in upon the conscious ness of oillcers of the law that inter ference by them with riotous mobs Is likely to cany with it, not what they .should Mv a light to expect, namely, tho Immediate and coidlal moial sup pcit of the law-abiding and law-io-speutlng elements of the community, but violent denunciation, peisonal as sault, leprobatlon and abuse, and fin ally expensive, .'exatlous and vve.nl bouie UtUitlon aiming at their con viction for a capital ciime.' It teems to us that in the dust-ials-Ing eagerness of a certain excited elo mont to iiin Shot Iff Mai tin down tho cons-eivatlve public lb losing sight of tho fact that much moie than Sher iff Mai tin's comfort nnd vvtlfaro nie nt stake In these legal proceedings. It booms to us to be dangerous to ad mit, even for expediency's sake, that the oillclal icmesentatlves of the law may bo so hairled and hounded for their performance of unpleasant oill clal duties that their successors In of fice may Ijo Inspired with a determina tion to let duty slldo and let mob vJo lonco and tho spiilt of sedition take their uninterrupted course. Wo must temember that history Is liable to re peat Itself; th it any day may brlrg on tho chess board of public events a now Lattlmer. Is It tho public's will that the next wild mob shall havo no check what ever Imposed upon Its fury and Its dostructiveness? If so Is It not proceed ing In Just about the etralght way to discourage other sheriffs and other deputies from hereafter lifting a finger? If last week's election news made Mr. Uryan happy It Is clear that ho Is easily tranqulllzed. The commission lutely sent to Europe to drum up another International bi metallic conference has o'llclally io potted Its failure and with the tiling of its topoit that chapter In our hlstoiy may I sold to be closed. Rut there Sftmalnw no icnsou why thu bimetal- limn which we havo already, consist ing nt silver and gold nnd their paper representatives, should not, with n good tariff and a safe Republican ad ministration, sulllco to confer upon our people a new era of healthy prosperity; In fatt, the trade statistics nil show that such an era has begun. Per contra. It would be easy to show that In many districts Langstaff inn far ahead of l'rjor; still, Piyor's friends don't claim that Langstnff traded him off. The haul fact Is that Langstaff, In addition to tecelvlng lukewarm sup port In his own political neighborhood, had the misfortune to run against one nf the most popular Democrats In ths county a mnn whom no Democrat would slash, vvhcicas Pryor's opponent, by reason of past entanglements, piovtd compaintlvely an easy nintk. That Is the btlef and whole stoiy of l'rjor's election nnd Langstaff s down fall. Truly a Great Country. Some llgurcs t elating to American trade nie given In the current North Amerlcnn Review by the Riltlsh sta tistician, Mulbnll, that deeive atten tion. In tho fit Ht place ho notes tint our fntclgn trade amounts to only nbout $.'" per capita annually, against $0J fot tliiMt Rrltntn und $V, each for riant c and Germany. Nevertheless our foielRii tiade Is glowing, nnd nt a pace faster thnn that of cither of tho tlireo nations mentioned. In the de cade of lSTfl-'Ji! It glow CO per cent., ngatnnt n growth In Oieat Ilrltaln's fun Irii tinde of 17 per cent ; In Clor ninio's, of 11 per cent; and In Fiance's, of 3 per cent. In other vvoieK pro tected Amoiien, without a merchant nuulne, Is fast bt caking Into the foi elgn maikets of the world, and will bleak In yet faster when hoi states men have the wisdom to to-Impose dis ci Imlnntnty duties and thus encoutage the u building of an American cariy ing tiade. Another faet noted by Mr. Mulhall Is that thn-i ai tides of which we Import less than foimorly, as foi example, fotelgn textiles, which we bought to the extent of $1 IS.OOO.OOl) In 1S01 but only to the extent of $1121,000.000 In 1S9G, wo nie beginning to manufaetuie for out selves. Again out consumption f sugni and coffee Is incieaslnsr faster than the population, a clicumstance, be thinks, Indicative of glowing pios peilty among the wot king olnsp; For the period between 107 nnd 1S71 the eaily consumption of impoited sugar was 503,000 toil", while during tho peilod between ISO.! and IsOf, It had inciea'-eel to 1,710.000 tons The jentlv consumption of native sugnr Increased In tho Minu time from -10,000 to 210,000 tons As compared vv Ith the popula tion the consumption of sugai has moio than doubled, and much the same can bo said of coffee, which has Inci eased from 107,000 to 2C0.000 tons, or fiom six to nine pounds per head. With legard to our expoit trade Mr. Mulhall waxes enthusiastic We havo seen how much moie lapldly it is glow ing than is that of either of the three leading Ruiopean competitors. Today wo feed not only 70,000,000 poisons at homo but 20,000,000 moie in Rurope, and this w titer pieellcts that It will be a century at least before the giowth In our expoits of foodstuffs, cotton and sundiles will cease. As for South America, ho opines that the United States will soon suptisede file it Rllt nln and Gcimany In contiul of Its mai kets and presages u gient quickening of that Intel continental trade. Ton ears ago England led us 49 per cent. In this field; today her excess Is only JO pen cent ; hot supremacy, In shoit, Is seriously tlueatened. These nro not the conclusions of an enthusiast but the sober pioducts of scientific figuring by tho greatest liv ing master of statistics. They are enough to make Amei leans feel ilght fully and justifiably pioud. The bosslsm In politics which Is most offensive Is Invailably thu boss Ism of the other fellow. It Is alvvajs one's factional opponent who Is the boss. A Rattled Boy Phenomenon. Hon. James H. Eckels, that miracle of joutliful wisdom whom Grover Cleveland disco veied In Illinois and nvide compti oiler of the euuency, Is about to stti lender the lesponslblllties of iunnlng this govciment and hie him to a pilvate snap In Chicago Rut in older that his exit from oillclal II fo might not sprag the piogivss of tho prusent adminlstintlun, the Hon. James has published In the New York Even ing Post a kind of last will and testa ment, which Informs President MeKln le and congress how he wants things conducted after he shall have gone. As with all meat men, the Ron. James has1 a specialty, a hobby, a fad. lie bowb down ct morning, at luon and at nlsht to an Imago which his busy mind conjures up nnd labels Cunency Reform." So lapt has been his adoration of this cheilshed concept of tho Mugwump lnaln that he has lately giown nervous, lultablo and appiehonslve. lie fcais for the safety of his Idol. He Imagines theie aio thoe in power In the Und who would do It linim Ever and anon he staits ftom his devotion, snlifs tho air in shnip suspicion and rataes the cry of alarm "I'nfoitunately," writes ho In hW Evening Post message of fiiowoll, "It connot bo denied that theio Is a growing fooling that the forces which will contiol in the legislative body of the countiy believe that a policy of Inaction and Indlfteronco Is best calcu lated to continue the piesent appar ent prosperity, strengthen the party In power und give the business Intcicsts of the country a test ftom that which they denominate another 'ngltatlon.' " Mail; the "unfoi tunately." The 1111 nois wonder wants anything but a lest. And then, going back Into review, our perturbed boy phenomenon con tinues' "If ever nn election was de signed to mean something to those who were honored wltn tho suffrages of the people, it was tho election of lSUfi It was then known that our cur rency and banking laws required re vision at Mie hands of congress, and tn that revision tho members of congresp who will meet In December stand ells- rtlnctly pledged. There Is no escape Irom the understanding, no matter what tho result may be." It Is to be regretted that the Hon. James, In his excitement, neglected to point out for the enlightenment of tho multitude Just what part of tho St. Louis plot- form pledged the Republican congress to undertake a wholesale tinkering of the currencj ; but of course this omis sion was merely nn oversight. Vo tectir to his own wotds: The country will be amazed, chagrined and dlKtitislful nt those It trusted so short a while since, If now there Is no attempt to redeem pledges sneredly giv en and promises profusely made. Tho responsibility Is not to bo shifted by polntlnn to a larger volume of trade, which they assort will bo disturbed, or pleading that there will be unusual op position developed when the subject Is Introduced for leglslatlvo action. A fic titious show big of tho wish of some busi ness Interests to wait until nn assured majority In both houses of congress Is had beforo suggesting tbe revision of laws lulmlttedly bad, expensive and in adequate will decclvo no one Tho question might again arise, to w hat pledges and promises does the Hon. James tefer, but we elate say ho knows, and Mr. Eckles knowing a thing Is quite sufficient. Therefore, let congress have a carol The eo of Eckles Is upon It. Tho pen of Eckles Is suspended over It. The lungs of Eckles nro Inflated ready to let Ily at It. Hear his Html warning nnd be ware! If at tlio adjournment of congress it shall bo seen that neither ndvanco nor attempted advance has been made upon the work which, If accomplished, would bilng u fuller measure nf prosperity to the people than here tofore hns been re cord! d, the ensuing election may bo trusted to demonstrate emphatically how much moie practical Is tho politics which meets manfully a duty than that which seeks to evade it by creating new issues and substituting new measures In or der to dlvett the people from a consider ation of the greatei problems of public life. One of the most curious fncts In nntuial history Is how some men, ordi narily sane nnd blight, lose their com mon sense tho moment they set out to champion a fad. Some blight mind has coined tho suggestion thnt the wav to establish peace In New Ynik state Is for tho Re publican oignulzatlnn to make Seth Low governoi to succeed Rlaek. There Isn't much doubt that Seth would grab at such a chance if it should bo offered to him, principles or no principles. Tho ofllelals of Her Majesty's gov ernment at Ottawa object, It seems, to tho spoiling of Canadian names adopted l the Washington Board on Geographical Names, nnd threaten to set up a boaid of their own. Can we not fiist have locoutso to atbitratlon? Ex-Mlnlster Tnlor la iccclving wlde.sptoad and proper lobuko for his lagerncss to set up a dealing houe business In state secrets and ofllcial confidences. If this ex-dlplnmat has no sense of piopilety somebody should lend him one. Mr. Ciokei promises in behalf of Tammany that Mayor Van Wyck will give New Yotlc "the best government It ever had " Tammany certainly has an unexampled chance. The Ciltcrlon, a Gothamlte weekly, wants to see Tom Piatt hnnged. We hope this Is a poor crlteilon of Mug wump opinion in general.

From tho New York Sun There Is no u-e doming It: the Mug wump, the un-American perveit whoso dominating feeling Is ho'tllitv to demn ciallc sentiments and habits, lias exerted during tho last ten yens a tremendous Influence In American politics Ho has done two great things, ono In national politics, and the other In municipal poli tics of national Importance. As an ally of the Democratic paitv tho Mugwump, or Cuckoo or Non-partisan as ho Is called In vntlous aspects, has, through promoting the candidacy of tho Hon Giover Clevclind for a third term, transformed tho Democracy from a lovnl bulwark of tho constitution nnd the principles of Thomas Jefferson into nn in cendiary radicalism that today Is a threat against the law and eiedit of the Fnlted States. AVhlle nn nllv of the Republi can party tho Mugwump, with Mr Seth Low ns a figurehead, has been the means of defeating the party of conservatism in tho Oreater New York, and of hand ing the government of this city over to tho undisputed control of Tammany hall These interesting events have occurred since whnt is known ns tho "better ele ment," bilng find with the ambition to figure moro prominently in politics, re sorted to all available expedients to oust from leadership the politicians who havo made of It n circful nnd arduous study. What amateurs can do In directing public affairs Is Illustrated by tho events Just described Unless the hypnotized worshippers of the lmnglnnry virtues labelled "non pnrtlsanshlp" recover their sanity, and then all sano men get together, this list nf Mugwump achievements will bo crown ed by the defent of the Republican party on n larger Held than the city nnd stnto of New York and the deliverance of tho countrv to tho new Democracy born at Chicago. C. I.. .MAGEE ON SETH LOW. From tho Pittsburg Times. Seth Low Is a prater and a poser I.lko Artcmus Word, ho can truthfully say: "I havo no prlncerpuls. I am in tho show business" Ho Is a. cheap Imi tation nf n statesman Placing his sel fish ambitions upon the piano of non partisan action, he stooped to nets which the cheapest ward heeler would despise When death laid Henry Georgo low nt the vcrv close of tho campaign Seth Low brazenly pressed to the bier to steal the political coppers from tho dead man's e)cs Ho did not Biiccecd In filching them, nnd hnd ho done so they would not oven havo answered tho purposo ac complished by the 30 pieces of silver doled out to Judas Iscarlot. Those, Indeed, purchased a potter's field. Seth Low needs no pauper's burial ground. The pcoplo havo burled him beneath their ballots. UNWARRANTED. rrom tho Rlack Diamond. Tho Seranton Republican editorially re marks that "tho Lattlmer riots Hcttlcd that no coal operator can bo tho next Republican candidate for governor of this state."
