Too Much Factionalism. With tho conclusion of the present senatorial fight, which will come In all probability after tomorrow evening's caucus. It Is to b,- expected that fac tional politics of the vindictive person al wirt. which have been In the ascend ant In this commonwealth since 1803, will simmer down. They have lost the .harm of novelty th.y represent In tli"lr piesent aspect, so far as the Jc M'octlve leaders are concerned, no vital iliiostlons of public principle; they are destructive of the party welfare, iril tatlnjf to peace-loving citizens and a stain upon the slate's teputatlon. The plain people have had enough of them. We take li for granted that Senator Quay will ! re-cloctr-d, as In view of thechaiacter of the attacks made upon him and the nature of the tactics cm ployed npalnvl him, ho deserves to be. He has been u tjond senator; not talky or showy, but always effective In con serving the lnt"rcsts of hie constitu ents. Intellectually he p lands head and shoulders above the men who have banded tOKetber to encompass his over thinw, morally lie is their superior In that, unlike them, bo makes no pre tensions to vlitues which he does not possess He Is a politician who plays the same of politics fiankly and with u natural scorn of hypocrisy. Those who are nlmliiR to Fiipplant him offer no recommendation save an eagerness which lusltatts at nothing In the pur suit of Us objective ambition. With Quay re-elected the political situation will stand as It is with the exception that In the new legislatuie a strong leadership i likely to prevail whereas In the last one things went higgled plggkdy. The Incoming gov ernor, too. luib an advantage in that be is on frlendlv terms with the dominant leaders of tic party and can use this mutual conlldence lo shape a legisla tive policy which shall be acceptable to tho people without rasping unnecessar ily the susceptibilities of legislators and Inviting a season of vindictive ninnocuverlng. There will, during his incumbency, be no sudden lluetuations In executive policy; affairs will be shaped to lit it consistent course and the aim will be to provide a satisfac tory transaction of the public business without ulterior purposes. Thus there will bo scant excuse for Iht continuation of mere grudge venting campaigns, and If such contin uation shall be attempted It will find Itself speedily bereft of a substantial following. It Is to be hoped that the city of Scran ton will turn over a new leaf In tho matter of street cleaning and repairs. The Botkiti Verdict. The degradation of womanhood ex hibited in the case -if Mrs. Cordelia Uotkln Is a matter for pity quite as much as for censure. She Is a woman who sunendeied to her grosser In stincts and the legitimate fruitage of her licentiousness was tho ungovern able spirit of Jealousy which prompted tho commission of a fiendish crime. Yet in spite of the helnousness of her offending certain qualities of generos ity and even of misdirected affection shine through the shadows surrounding her life and give hints of wasted bet ter possibilities The crime cannot be pui'dot.ed and Justice demands expia tion, but in thi case somewhat more conspicuously than In thei average of Its kind we perceive the Inhumanity of our present Htem of punishments and recognize how much better it would be If. Instead of acting upon the retribut ive principle, civilized society should look upon crime as a moral disease, to i be quarantined by Imprisonment when necessary, but at the same time to be treated, as with other diseases, for a euro rather than for mere brute ven geance. We aro unconscious of maudlin tmntl montnllty in the belief that It would bo quite as Justifiable to dispatch a pa tient suffering, say, from typhoid fever, diphtheria or tuberculosis on tho score of ridding the community of a peril as to administer capital punishment ns a treatment of acute moral disease. We, therefore, are glad that the Jury in the Botkln case did not condemn that fln ful but unfortunate woman to the scaf fold. It Is true that she tool; human llfo by means most foul; that of all kinds of crime society views with great est abhorrence the use, tho cunning use, of poison, ibit It v doubtless equally true that If we could read the whole story of her promptings to this despornto act wo should discover In them the commingling of emotions and impulses which nro common to human experience mid which would be suffic ient to convict most of us of evil thoughts and evil deeds, differing from the Uotlcln woman's crime rather In extent than In principle. Hearing thew considerations In mind, and recollecting also that tho perver sion of womynhood. which makes the weaker box excel us far In ovll ns, under normal omdltlons, it excels in lfOQdn3, U a rely a feminine choice but more often the work of masculine betrayal, we concludo that the verdict In this case of Imprisonment Instead of ! hanging denotes the rising ascendancy of the humane ovor tho vindictive ideal of Justice. Imprisonment, under exist ing punitory conditions, is little prefer lihlo to death. Our high modern intel llsonco has wrought scandalously few nnd Btnall improvements over the hnr bnrlc methods of dealing with convicts. Hut It Itf still something that In a case which Involved vthu extreme limit of objectlonablene's in crime n jury has leen found which so far puts aside tho Instinct for tetallatlon as to forego thn death penalty nnd leave to tho sin ning unfortunate tit least some slim met Ing chance of ultimate moral res cue. For the first time in its history, Lackawanna county will tomorrow contrlbulo to tho state house of repre sentatives a speaker, and a good one. Tho Incoming Year. It Is the veriest commonplace to say that nil Indications nre auspicious for a period of exceptional prosperity for the American people more especially, and yet the ussertlon Is essential to n prop er greeting of the new year. As the matter stands, this nation has not only regained the ground which It lost dur ing the era of business depression that began with the advent of tho Cleveland free trade administration In 181)3. but it has advanced to a plane of achieve ment higher, broader and more prom ising than ever before In the history of mankind. As expressed on the ma terial side, the balance of trade In our favor Is the largest over recorded; our railway mileage nearly equals that of nil the other nations; we are more tru ly Independent of other nations for ar ticles of necessity than ever before and tho economic condition of our popula tion rises high above that of any other people who Include diversified races and Interests. The scepter of commer cial supremacy, so long held by the old World, has for some time bf-en held by the New, and now tho Now World Is reaching out to grasp and wield sov ereignty over the woild's llnnnccs. Hut splendid us Is our material show ing and prospect, It is dwarfed by the outlook which Is now opening to American moral prestige and influence. In a f'-w months of assorted power wo have not only at trilling cost changed the geography of the world more rad ically than It has been changed since the victory of Wellington and TJluchcr at Waterloo; wo have not only revolu tionized the world's long accepted can ons of dlplomncy which recognized that art as n game of privileged deception, substituting the morally liner standard of manly candor nnd honesty, but wa have been permitted to tench to mnn klnd a lesson In the vitality and hu manity of democratic Institutions i which must powerfully effect tho sub sequent course of human history. The remotest sections of the inhabited globe have been made conscious of the entrance Into the International arena of ix new power dedicated to Liberty, i Humanity and Justice a power which punishes outrage without passion, 1 wars only righteously and humanely, I and accepts trusteeships for civiliza tion without coveteousness or the im pulse toward dishonest aggression. The flag which symbolizes this power re ceives today from the parliament of nations a, consideration before un known; and the humblest American citizen goes forth among his fcllowmen conscious, ns he had never been, that the significance of his citizenship is at last known and respected. Tho people of the United States an; privileged to live at the happiest mo ment since civilization began. In the grandest country of which we have record, at a time when the torch of civil liberty In the hands of the Ameri can cxecutle Is Just beginning to shed Its light through the mist of ages Into regions long dedicated to Ignorance nnd cruelty. The privilege should be to each of them a mighty personal In spiration. It should give zest to their Individual energies, uplift the stand ards of their beliefs and conduct, and cull forth along every avenue of hu man endeavor the best that is in them, to be nnd to do. pa of need not feel slighted.
