The election of the Republican city ticket yesterday by a plurality likely to average In the vicinity of l.r.00 cor roborates the theory that In a fair test of party strength, with factionalism eliminated, Scranton Is a safely Re publican city. The campaign has been a quiet one, and tjio vote polled wua light, but the proportion indicated In the returns l about that upon which It would tinllnarlly be fcafo to count. Tile ti'etfl step now will be to seat the board JUBt elected. That this will be done In ', the iiea'v ' future is generally believed. The change upon the whole will doubtleHH be for the better. It certainly will -If subsequent nomina tions oil themnjoittj- ticket shall equal In cluuui'ter those made this spring. Tlif work 6f reorganization will In volve many delicate and dllllctllt prob lems but the .solution of them Is not beyond the capacity of the men who will line It to make. Patience and the cordial co-opeiatlon of the city's best citizenship are invited and de plred. The capluie by the '"publicans or common council Is u result upon which the city Is to be contii-atulated. This glvf-s the Republicans control of coun cils, select remaining as bcfoie. We hope that Wllkes-ltarre will rel ish the changf. There Is no account ing for tastes. i. The Result In Dunmore. Depute the fi ut that it was Demo cratic weatln'f the Republicans of Dunmore yesterday proved their title to a controlllnir voice in the govern ment of the borough. Their splendid .victory vindicates the claims made by them In the recent content and leaves Democratic supremacy behind as a grim relic of the past. Congratulations: As for David Alaitln, of Philadelphia town, he continues to feel quite well, thanks. Victory with a Warning. Fpr the election of their ticket yes terday the Republicans can thank the Democrats ulmost as much as themselves. Had the Democratic convention profited fully by the mistakes made In the geograph ical distribution of the Republi can nominees, and. In addition to dis tributing their own nominees more equltubly, bad they also put on a fair number of representative citizens not prominently Identified with the strife. and turmoil of ordinary politics, the outcome at the polls might easily have been quite different. We are led to say this not because the Republican nominees voted for yes terday were not good, clean men but because under the system by which they weie nominated a system likely to be still more in evidence under the operation of the Crawford county plan -the party In some future campaign, unless care is exercised, will so into a light with important localities unrepre sented and, if the enemy is shrewd enough to grasp Its opportunity, will consequently get the worst of It. X'nder the modified Crawford coun ty rules which are presumably to be adopted in this county It will lie al most Impossible to prevent Republican strongholds from combining and bag ging all the Important nominations, with the result that the sections dis criminated ngalnr.t will retaliate and difeat th Ill-balanced ticket at the polls. Tho placing on the recent city ticket of three candidates from Hyde Park whll the Important Republican section of Providence va3 Ignored en tirely Illustrated In a small way the kind of ticket making to be feared In a closer fight. Victory this time, while welcome, should at the jame time con vey a warning. ' The contrast between Do Lome and Veyler Is certainly favorable to the ex-minister. De Lome took his medi cine without ii murmur. Not Our Funeral. There appears now to be no doubt that the Spanish government has al ready made or has announce, (ts in tention soon to make an official dis claimer of the sentiments with refer ence to the Insincerity of Spanish rep resentations expressed In the recent letter of Its discredited former minis ter, .Senor Dupuy de Lome. There was. In factA no alternative open to It with out deliberate forfeiture of Its honor, While the letter was technically pri vate communication, Us source and manner of publication put before the ministry of Sagasta the unavoidable necessity to which It has Junt yielded with much reluctance yet with some semblance of grace. To have acquiesced by silence In the assertions of Senor do Lome would havtj been. equivalent before the world to a confession of duplicity which must not only have shut the door to further consideration of Spain's interests by the lulled States tut also have tend ed to weaken respect for the Sagaoln government n every unprejudiced court. In Europe., Diplomacy may be at times. a. game of deception, hip those who piny It cannot avow its true char acter without precipitating themselves at once to the vulgar level of the com mon faker and the confidence man, As, flie paso rests, Senor de Lome's opinions stand, officially dfiscredlted by Senor !, Lome's government Ameri cans and Spaniard alike know that de Lpme wrote the truiSn SagaHta knows It: JJcKlnlex. knows It and each knows that, the other knows it. Inasmuch, however, as It is Inconvenient for thorn to parade this knowledge n their dip lomatic Intercourse It Is henceorth to be put away to become, as Jt were, n- new skeleton (n Spain's closet. ..o can consent to this the moro rnv Inasmuch ns It has ceased to be our funeral. The recent exposure has not In tho slightest degree caused Injury to the United State. Wo stand as n nation absolutely unscathed by It. If Spain Is the weaker for It; If It has strengthened her armed antagonists In the field and complicated the problems of her statesmen In council the blame Is not ours In any sense. Spuln must locate that herself. ' tf anything, the T'nlled Stntcs has pioflted by this Incident. People and president have come closer together and reached each a better understand ing of the other's position. As the New York Sun, the ablest and the most devoted champion ot Cuban lib erty In this country, says, "Mr. Mc Klnley's present attitude lacks neith er dignity nor firmness. He Is cap nble of attending to the affair. He Is strong enough, and he knows enough to take coie not only of the honor of hl administration, but also of the larger national Interests Involved In the question of Spain's sincerity or duplicity In the whole proffer ot auton omy." irfome who feign would criticize perforce must prnlse. The upset of De Lome has been so quickly followed by the successful des patch of a Job lot of filibuster expedi tions to Cuba that It Isnt hard to guess the chief reason why De Lome was upset. Judicial Reform. The problem of reforming1 the work ings of the minor Judiciary Is receiving Increased attention throughout the commonwealth. The Pittsburg Dis patch, which lias led In the discussion of tlili- subject by presenting, fiotn time tn time, information drawn from for eign sources. Is now doing an equally vuluable.servlcflngatheilng from Penn sylvania Jurists of renuwn suggestions us to piactlcable methods ot Improve ment. In view of the fact that a com mittee of the Pennsylvania Bar asso ciation, appointed last summer at Cres si'ii, Is now considering "whether any system can be devised or tribunal es tablished by means of which petty cilnihittl cases can be promptly de termined without leaching the court ot quarter sessions," these suggestions ate Incllnrsl to be broadly general In their nuture, but one or two of the judges who have accepted the Dls patrh's Invitation to debate the .subject haw reached down to details. Judge Sam Miller, of Mercer, for In tt'inre, a gentleman famous for his de cided opinions and his manly willing ness to express them, gives Ills Ideas In incisive English. "I would not favor," says he, "changing the law relative to the trial of civil cases. Ap peals are now allowed from the judg ment of Justices and aldermen when the sum exceeds 5.00. I would not In crease the amount. As It Is, Injustice Is sometimes done a defendant. I would, however, advise that the law be so amended that an appellant should not bo allowed an appeal fiom a Jus tice or alderman, except by leave of couit first had, without the payment of costs and entering security for accru ing costs, and also empowering the court, In Its discretion, to require the appellant to enter security for accru ing costs nfter the appeal was filed in court. This would discourage many litigious persons from carrying their unmeiltorlous cases into court. As to criminal cases, I would advise a radi cal change In the constitution and laws of the state. I would so amend the con stitution as to abridge the right of trial by jury In a large number of cases where the charge Is of a trilling char acter. There is no teason why all case.s of assault, assault and battery, carry ing and pointing fireurms, cruelty to animals, disorderly houses, disorderly conduct, disturbing public assemblies, many of the offenses relating to elec tions, gambling. Illegal sales of liquors, the lower grade of larceny, robbery, burglary and receiving stolen goods, malicious mischief, prize lights, va gioucy and very many other cases should not be tried by a judge learned In the law without a Jury, except In such cases as the Judge, after Indict ment found, should certify for jury trial. Such a change In the constitu tion and laws would save the expense of jurors and greatly limit the costs of witnesses, and Justice would be meted out to all parties as effectually and certainly as now. Summary convic tions for many offenses created by stat ute, and unknown to the common law, are now triable by the magistrate without a jury. The list should be greatly enlarged, and Include many rases'now tried by a Jury. This would relieve the burden of the courts, as a Judge trying the case alone would be able to trv half a dozen In the same time it now takes to try one." At first glance this proposition seems exceedingly radical. Rut tho evil In localities like this Is one that will need something radical to cure It. Wo sus pect that n man fit to be elected Judge Is fit to exercise the enlarged power which Judge Miller contemplates. If the people should chocse tO' elect Judges whom they dared not thus trust, that, we should fancy, would be their look out. An exchange says that "asparagus was grown 200 years before the birth of Christ, while lettuce was cultivated so far back us MO B. C." The quality of the supply that is often seen In mar kets In early spring sometimes arouses a suspicion that the crop must have len gathered at about these dates. When Canalejas gets possession of tho original De Lome letter he ought to frame It and hang it In some public place where It will servo for genera tions to come as an awful example. Now that tho De Lome Incident Is practically closed It 1b appropriate to note how quickly -and with what few honest laments a faker goes to his In evitable fall. The man who has watched the Ice go out of a river In springtime will understand the symptoms of a break up which Spain is now displaying In Cuba, Before the moss moves, that Is to say while It Is yet shivering and squeaking, and cracking, there Is na turally a great deal of suspense, but when It onco' starts, It goes out so rap Idly and withal so peacefully that spec tators wonder why they ever permit ted themselves to entertain alarm. The probabilities are that six months hence American readers of newspapers will have to think twice before they can fully recall to mind the uneasiness now prevalent In this country concerning the Cuban problem. "We arc honest men," says one of Sagasta's ministers, "who have been placed In a false position by a fool." We don't know about tho hopesty part of It, but there's no .doubt whatever as to the false position. The "honor" of the French army as Illustrated In the Dreyfus cose strongly suggests the need ot a little more blood-letting nt the hands of Ger many's Imperial surgeon. , Owing to recent developments, the name of Duke D'Arcos will no longer be printed In display type In tho dally papers. Is there 'a connection between Franco's Inordinate wine drinking and Its befuddled .sense of Justice? ' Ry the way, wo had almost forgot ten that Uncle John Wanamaker prom ised to say something soon. Von der Ahe Is In danger of becom ing the American Dreyfus. -And on election day It snowed. TOLD BY THE STARS. Dally Horoscope Dtuwn br AJacchus, Tho Trlliiino Astrologer.

ON TUB iccent death of Mrs. Mary Cowden-Clarke' a number of Kng lUlt newspapers have been misled Into stilling that Mr. Gladstone alone Is left of that "class of WH" so famous for tho great names In the world's work. Admiral Ktppel in Eng land still survives a bale old sailor, still Infused with much of tho tire which maUe his youth so notable. In America Colonel Kiciidid . Thompson, of Indiana, born in that same yeai, watches the rapid current of time's activities which he knew In a calmer, earlier duy. Lawyer, sol dier, cabinet member, he has helped n the solution of those questions whlcJi puz zled government when Clay and Web ster and Calhoun and Benton were here. o The great neines In that "class of lS'J" are quite nitonishlng. Mr. Gladstone, among the foremost either living or dead awaits his reward with the serene poise of a man who has known all the heights of honor and has necr bean crushed by defeat. Abiaham Lincoln, born to poverty, achieved greatness and died at the pinnacle of most deserved fame. Hnnnlbjl Hamlin, his vice-president through the trying period of war, came of same enr: as did Hugh McCulloch. n power when Lewis C.iss was a national figure, when the almost forgottou Wabash canal was begun, and a power still a secretary of the treasury, indeed, as late as 1SSJ. Oliver Wendell Holmes was born in the pnme year, and lived to sing to the end of four score years the genuine music of his soul. Ten nyson, laureate Indeed, and by patent trom a hourco far higher than his queen, was another of the great men of the class. So wos Professor Hluckle, the Scotchman a scholar, a lover of Hums, an essayist and a foe to agnosticism. "The class of IMS Is rapidly thinning." he said to Gladstone when Haussmann died. "Still, you and Tennyson and I are left." "Tennyson would not thank you for In cluding us." replied the statesmen with a twinkle In his eye., "We are too noisy for him." o Haussmann himself was a great man. He made u new Paris of a city grown old and unlovely, and the guyest capital In Europe arcse. A financier, a master of engineers nnd architects, n favorite of the emperor and n deputy of the re public, ho knew royal and imperial and democratic France. Reside him from the same birth year was Marshal Can robert, perhaps the most distinguished soldier In the class. Ho conquered the Arabs In 1813 and is:.!. he fought like a tiger at lnkerinan, he led the Zouaves at Magenta, nnd won Imperishable fume at Solferlno. o There was Charles Darwin; and mod ern science dates from him. There was George R. Gllddon. the Amerlran Egyp tologist; Henry Dawson Rogers, the geo logist; Renjamln Pierce, the mathema tlclon; Karl Helnrlch Koch, the German naturalist; Adolph Francke. the French philosophical writer; Fronelsque Michel, the archaeologist , and James David Forbes, the Scottish physicist. Thcic was Felix Mendelssohn, the composer; Edgar Allen Poe, Mrs. Browning and Richard Monckton Milnes, In the English tongue, nnd Frederick Muller Palludan, poet of Donmark. Names of that famous "class" crowd upon one. There was Cyrus Mc Cormlck, the Inventor; Slielton MacKen zle, the journalist; Adolpb Frederic, the organist: Frederic Otto, tho chemist; Baron Mantcuffel, Prussian field mar shal; O, S. Fowier. the Amerlcun phre nologist; Albert Klmmermunn and Phil llppo Augusts Jearon, a German and French painter. o Among the women of that far year was Mrs, Mary Cowden-Clarke, so re cently passed awaj tho friend of Lamb and ot Keats and of Shelley, of Hazlltt and Leigh Hunt, but above all the com piler ot that "Complete Concordance" which had added a charm even to tho study of Shakespeare. She wrote novels and poems and essays almost to the day of her death. Fanny Kemblo was an other. She made her dobut at Covcnt Garden Theater in 1S29. married Mr. Pierce Butler, a South Carolina planter, In 1S31, secured a divorce and tesumed her mntdeu name In 1839. She was an nctress of tho very first rank, an author and an honor to her raco. o Space does not suffice to name them all, the list is so long, but no year no five years has produced so many great and eminent men. Rut time has brought them low, and all save three or four have passed away. The class, however, will be forever famous. A DIQ POLITICAL YEAR. Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, The political events of this year will have on aggregate Importance second only to that ot a presidential election. Governors mid other suite officers are to bo elected in Alabama, Arkansas, Cali fornia, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Massa chusetts, Mhhlgan, Minnesota, Nebrasku, Navada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Penn sylvania. Rhode Island, South' Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Ver mont, Wisconsin and Wyoming, In twenty-four ot these states tho election will be held on Nov. 8, and in others as fol lows: Rhode Uland, April 6: Alabama, Aug. 8; Arkansas, Bept. 6: Vermont, Sept. 0! Georgia, Oct, 6. Members of congress will be elected In Oregon Juno 6, In Maine Sept. 12, and In all tho other states of the Union on the 8th of November. Tho terms of thirty United Stntcs sen ators will expire March 4, ISM, viz: Twelvo Republicans, from Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minne sota, Montana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhodo Island, Vermont, Washington. Wyoming: three sliver Republicans or Populists, from Nebraska, Nevada and Utah: fifteen Democrats, from California, Delaware, Florida, Indiana. Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey. New York. North Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin. In Ohio Senator Hanna has already been elected to succeed himself, and In Mary land h Republican has been elected to succeed Senator Gorman. In most of tho states the legislative elections will deter mine the political affiliations of tho now senntors to bo elected. U will ba observed that tho year Is to be crowded with politics of undoubted Im portance. There Is no good reason why tho Republicans should lose any ground: on the contrary, tho conditions of busi ness. Industry and finance should war rant them In expecting to Increase their strength at the national capital. TWO IMPORTANT QUESTIONS. Editor of Tho Tribune Blr: Rending your interesting editorial In today's Tribune on the subject of "Postal Savings Banks," two questions have occurred to me which I have never seen satisfactorily answered by any of tho numerous advocates ot this new scheme. I do not raise these questions In any spirit of opposition to the merits or advantages of the idea of postal sav ings banks, but solely as to Its prac ticability under our government. Very much has been said nbout the advantages to the masses of the people of postal sav ings banks nnd doubtless with entire truthfulness particularly ns applied to the country dlstilcts or moro sparsely settled portions of the country. But be fore these things are considered these questions require to be answered. The Idea Involves the government engaging In a gigantic banking business. Therefore, question one: Under what provision of the constitution Is authority conferred upon the government of the United States to do this? Question two can only follow a satis factory answer to question one. which I think cannot bo found. Our government Is not a "paternal" Institution. Hut it question, one be satisfactorily answered, then question two, Is, how could the gov ernment satisfactorily invest tho vast sum of money which believers In tho ochemo say would Immediately be depos ited for savings, so as to earn the Interest to be paid depositors? This Is one of the great problems of savings banks today. Shall the government go Into a general banking and discount business? Shall It buy bonds, r.nd IT so what kind of bonds? Will some one say Invest In the public debt? That debt Is all owned by private and corporate parties, and it cannot be bought by the government at any figure which would enable It to pay a savings bank Interest s:iy U per cent. it seems to me these two primal ques tions demand solution before we enter upon a general discussion of the ad vantages of a postal savings bank sys tem. F. L. Hitchcock. Scranlon. Feb. 13. ONE SUGGESTION. Wash. Letter. Wilkes-Barre Record. The general opinion here Is that C. L. Mngee does not favor the Wanamaker movement launched In Philadelphia two weeks ago. Though In sympathy with the antl-Quayltes. be does not think Wanamaker to be the strongest man to pit against Colonel Stone. Ho recognizes that money Is not tho only thing neces sary to defeat Stone. There will be n strong opposition to Wanamaker from the merchants throughout the state whose business has been seriously injured by that of the inei chant prince, with Its enormous mall pat ronage. These people nro a power In politics, a fact fully recomilzed by practical politicians. In discus sing the situation In Pennsylvania, n man thoroughly In touch with the leaders of both factions, said today: "Colonel Stone has nothing to fear from the Wanamaker movement. There Is only one man whose namo has been mentioned In connection with the Repub lican gubernatorial nomination whom Colonel Stone need consider a dangerous rival. That gentleman Is Congressman William Conned, of Lackawanna county. That gentleman occupies a position wnleh Is seldom the lot of any person to hold. Uc Is on friendly terms with all the fac tions, nnd bis nomination would prevent a bolt and restoie harmony In the party." GUIDE TO THE KLONDIKE. Probably the most complete handbook of useful Information concerning the newly-discovered gold fields of tho north yet published is "The Klondike Otlltial Guide," prepared by William Ogllvle, Do minion land surveyor, from his latest maps and otnclal reports to the Canadian government. Mr. Ogllvle was adminis trator of the Klondike countiy for a num ber of jears. nnd Is practically the dls roverer of gold In that region. His offi cial guide Is published by the authority of the department of the Interior of the Dominion of Canada, and Is the only work of this character that Is authorized by the Canadian government. The guide contains 144 pages; is profusely lllus. trated nnd Is supplied with numerous maps and dlaginms. and estimates of tho rest of outfits, and food supplies, nnd In fact nn almost unlimited fund of Infor mation that should bo In the hands ot all who nntlclpate visiting the gold fields or tako nn Interest In the subjeet. Tho guide Is published In the United States by tho Matthews-.. orthrup company, of Buffalo, N. Y. Trice M cents. A POSSE NOT A MOII. From the Philadelphia Press.
