The Succession to Judge Uunstcr.
As tho time draws near for the hold-
!K ft thli j ear's county conventions
it Is not unreasonable to draw public
uttcntlnn to the ptohlpin likely to be
iri"fcnteil In the election of a judge to
succeed Hon. I Gunster. whose
term of ofllce expiies Jan. 2, ISO''
In recent vears the wise custom has
fiieatly grown In Pennsylvania as well
as In other states of senaintlng the
selection of the Judiciary a-s far as pos
sible from tho ordinary turmoil of par
tisan politics Tho hroadei -minded
portion of the public has come around
to tho belief that Inasmuch as the
judicial oillce In theory Is non-partisan,
knowing neither filend nor foe and
dealing out justice itnpartlnllv, there
tlioiikl be In the filling of that office
no more of tho fuss and stress of par
tisan contention than Ii Inevitable
under out present hj stein of patty
government. The best sentiment of tho
day sustains this view; and the best
tesults on tho bench hav followed In
those communities where It has pre
vailed. While this rule has not heretofore
obtained in Lackawanna county there
nto at this time a number of strong
t-peclal reasons why It should. In the
first place, on our bench of thtee, two
Itepublicans ate already seated and the
presence of one Demoi rntlc member
fulfils tho admittedly wholesome pi in
cline of inlnotit lcptesentatlon. Thus
If wo assume that a Republican nomi
nee In opposition to Judge Ounster
could be elected net fall, we must
nKo assume that the minority party
lias no lespeetable right to tepresen
tatlon an assumption that is not onlj
un-American In theory but also might
nt some future time bo turned against
the Republican party with unpleasant
effect.
A second strong reason ngalnst the
proposition to contest Judge Ounster's
le-oleetlnn on party lines is addueiljle
from the superiot quality of the service
lie has given to the people of Lacka
wanna county entirely it respective of
politics. Unless we wish to enact the
lule that fulr and elllclent service bj
a judge on the bench is undeserving
of considciatlon when brought into
competition with political Itching for
ofllce, It seems to us that the Repub
licans of tills county are in honor
bound to Indorse Judge Gunster If he
bhall bo a candidate for re-election and
confine their partisan lighting to ofllces
consenting which It will not be Inap
proptiate. An example In party liberality If set
by tho Republicans this vear may bo
emulated by the Democtats to the
gteat benefit of a Republican judicial
candidate at some future time This,
of iDiitf-e, Is wholly conjectutal; but
whether such a hope is substantial or
not there can, we think, be no le
speetable dlsent front the suggestion
that If Judge Gunster shall be to
nominated bj his own party he should
not bo factlously opposed by the Re
publican pnttj, simply bpcaiibe a few
thltnhle-rlggeis think they petcetve In
such opposition an opening for cam
palgn speculation.

What Is Money?
The scrantnn Times labois under tho
widely prevnh nt delusion that a gov
ernment stamp crentes money, and
that all paper ctinency that bears It
Is on n pat It) with gold ot silver. The
obvious answer to this fantastic con
ception of the functions of money Is,
If that be so, why does not the govern
ment crente as much money ns the
people want? Why not by this simple
expedient get tld of the deplorable ex
cess of human misery, the necessity
of borrowing, and at otto and the same
tittle obviate the stress of poverty and
the expediency of working. No gov
ernment c6uld resist the prospective
populatlty which universal Idleness
and the Indefinite Increase of tho
amount of money to bo put In cltcu
latlon per capita would btlng to It. It
Is not In human natute, nnil especially
human nature working out Its d(stln
through politics, to do so. If money
as the Times declates Is a mete token
with a government stamp, and that It
Is a ninttei of Indlffeienco to tho
holder whether It consists of paper or
sold or silver ot wood, what Is the
reason that nil civilized countiles have
established mints for the colnnge of
tho precious metals when a pi luting
press and an hide finite supply of paper
Is all that Is requited? Can It bo pos
sible that there has been a co-existence
of mental olisetvation running
through mankind since its history be
gan to bo wtltten which has thus dis
torted tho title conception of mom v.
until at the close of the nineteenth
century Mr. rtrvmi and Populist lead
ers discovered It? Wo cannot believe
It. Why should the government be at
such momentous pains to hoard te
serves of gold and silver In the tteas
ury when, nccordlnc to our conteni
poraty, its simple lUt Is all that Is
necessary to give us wfiat money we
want? Why this insensate rush to the
Klondike In onr own day or to the
California gold diggings n half of a
century ago, If gold was no nioro value
In Its monetary employment thnu
paper? Why not a tush to the woods,
to tear down ttoes, convett them Into
pulp, then Into papet, and tho paper
by government flat Into money?
The answer to nil these categorical
and hypothetical questions Is that
money, that Is tho precious metals, Is
evsentlnlly of an intrinsic natute in Its
vnlue, as well as the most convenient
and universally acceptable measute of
wealth or value. Wo cannot measure
value bjl, what Is not valuable In Itself,
no moie than we can llv a kite with
out wind, or weigh matter without n
balance of some kind. Paper money
Is not monev in the literal tense of the
woul. It is simply and solely the
tangible recognition of an obligation
to be fulfilled at some future time. It
depends upon the nature of the insttu
ment when this obligation Is to be ful
filled. If it Is In the nntuie of a paper
dollar it may remnln outstanding in
definitely and pass fiom hand to hand
and perfoim all the functions of ieal
monej; If it is a diaft on a bank the
obligation may be lodeomed Immedi
ately, but the government stamp and
the banker's signature do not, nnd can
not, convert paper money Into teal
money; what Is real In it is the gold
nnd silver bullion that It toptesents,
and that can be drawn upon out of the
government treasuiy ot the bankers
cellar upon the presentation of the
paper certificate.
The definition nnd functions of money
Is a question piesentlng so many dlfll
cultles and complications out of tin
abuse of the term and ambiguity as
to tho dctetmlnntlon of its value.
There is nothing with which wo are all
bo familiar as money In one shape or
another. In whatever foini It in It
nffords a teady means of estimating
the different value of dlfletent com
modities, or the piodmt of labor.
This function of money opoiates
eveiywhore in the same manner. In
this the most useful and at the same
time tho lowest, that Is the least Indi
cate, fotm of money, It Is not of much
coiihequence what form tho cuttency
takes, whether It be papei money or
coined money, o long as tho standatd
by which thee tokens or subsidiary
coinage are ultimately measuied is of
the highest vulue, the tecognlzed
medium of unlveisnl exchange. This
Is gold by the Independent consensus
of nations We need not say that
part polities has nothlg to do with
the discussion of thee financial ptob
lems with which wo nte called upon
now and again to deal. We cannot
realize upon nn.v national hypothesis
the contention of out contemporary that
the government can upon the accep
tance of the public lsue nny Hat money
it wiflhes. We do not say that so
long ns tho powei Is vested In the gov
ernment that It may not catry out
what It (1 tenuities on theoretically,
or actually, as dutltig the riench
evolution. Hut the ultimate power Is
vested In the people in the long tun,
nnd If tho history of finance and finan
cial panics teach us uiij thing it Is
that the people have a title but latent
nnd objectively confithod conception
of the currency of their country. We
witness today in Spain, vvhete the
rush lu the banktt to conveit paper
Into silver Is battling the effotts of tho

paper before the Congregational
cluli of New llineii on tho war
with Spain, "that this interven

In i ti In tho past, and Is undertaken from

o
Sinco the Intervention of one nation In

example, Russia's intervention In behalf
of llulgarl.i The ostensible ground was

the real ground was the prosecution of

toward Constantinople. Take ngiln tlio

o
After defending tlio Intervention upon
the giound nentlcned In President Mc
Klnlej's message, nnnieh, that a state of
affairs existed In Cub i that was Injurious
to our mnimeicLil Interests and kept our
own people In a state qf turmoil, entail

In the second place, the ixploslon of the
Maine "made peace no lonjer practi

Dwelling upoa this point, Professor
Woolsqy b.ivs "I wonder what other
people would have waited so patiently

ttemendous Import Suppose, after tho
German kaiser had stltred Hngland to Its

Hut It Is the opinion of Professor Wool,
