SEARCHLIGHT

as to convince the attorney general
that the rase did not cull forwidjudl

of to wnrrnnto Issued forthwith.
Mr. O'Hrlen roturncd to Scranton on
the evening train and tomorrow morn
ing, after a consultation with his col
lenRUes and the relator, ex-Senator Mc
Donald, will present tho suggestion to
I'rosldent Judge 11. W. Archbald.
In the future proceedings Mr. Vos
Imrg will have associated with him
In the defence of the recorder and the
"ripper" ex-C'lty Solicitor James II.
Torrey and ex-Judge Henry A. Ktmpp.
Insurgents Hopeful.
The Insurgents are placing no little
store by the Senator Wcller opinion
that Scranton cannot except the
Muchlbronncr bill.
To make Senator Woller's contention
clear It Is necessary to understand
that the act of 1895 provides that
cities shall be divided Into three
classes; that, upon any city attaining
a certain population, It shall he ad
vanced In classification; that when a
ensus shows a city Is entitled to an
udvance In classification the governor
shall certify the same to councils and
that at the February I'lectlons next
succeeding this certification the ad
vanced city shall proceed to elect oill
cers, etc.
If this act stund, Senator Wcller
utgues, Scranton must pioceed In Its
transit according to the provisions
thereof. If Scnintons follows this act
It cannot accept the .Muchlbronncr act.
Heron ton not beltn? able to accept the
Muehlbroniipr act. no other second clasa
city enri accept It, und the "ripper"
war was all In vain.
It will nut do, says Senator Wcller,
to hold that the classification act does
not stand, however, because then there
would be no other second clnss or any
other class of cities, and the Illpporltcs
again would have had their trouble
for their pains.
The "Itlpperltes" attempt to make
light of Senator Welter's now discov
ery and appear to be unconcerned
iibout its possible consequences. That
It has set them to thinking, though, Is
evident from the fact that every on
of their legal experts about tho capi
tal today who were questioned on tho
subject had a ready and similar opin
ion. General Opinion.
in substance, this opinion was that
Senator Weller had lost sight of tho
fact that when two laws nr.; In con
flict the latest law prevails, and,
further, that a patt of an net can bo
lepealed without destioylng the effi
cacy of the whole.
As applied to the case In point, this
means that Scranton could advance In
classification under the classification
clauses of the Act of 1S93. leap over Its
clauses regarding reorganization and
take the Muehlbronner net to complete
whut work of transition tho Act of 1S9."

subjection of Its reorganization clauses

QUESTION OF A MARSHAL.
It Is Being Considered by Attorney
General Griggs.
A Pittsburg exchange says: "Attor
ney Ceneral Griggs Is giving some
thought to the legal status of United
States Marshal Kred (J. Leonard, whose
ofneial residence Is at Pittsburg, but
whose residence as a private citizen Is
In Potter county. At the request of
tho Pennsylvania senators he 1m con
sidering what effect the Connell bill
creating the Middle Judicial district
has had upon him, with a view to de
termining If he cannot serve as mar
shal of the new district for the rest of
his term, which lasts for about another
year. If Mr. Griggs says he can, then
Mr. Leonard will simply move his offi
cial residence from Pittsburg to what
ever city, probably Scranton, the Judge
V be appointed will designate.
"The senators hope tho attorney gen
eral will decide that this can bo done.
Such a decision would at once (settle
the bitter fight between Hepresentatlve
Connell's man, Uachorach, and Hepre
sentatlve Palmer, who prefers Leonard
to the deputy executive clerk. If tho
transfer can be made, It will give
Leonard two full terms of four years.
If he must be appointed In the new
district the new appointment will clip
one year off his present term and his
new commission would bt for only
four years. Nothing will be done until
the attorney general decides the ques
tion." NEW OFFICERS INSTALLED.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
(Under this heading short letters of Interest
trill be published when accompanied, for publica
tion, by the writer's name. The Tribune does not
assume responsibility for opinions htrt expressed.
WhichP
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In the discussion now going on among
the members of the Grand Army of the ltrpuullr
poMs of this city as to which of two designated
prorrtles the) should purrhie, I wish to gi
011 record as being decidedly opposed to lie
purchase of the Wirdsor property, and in fior
of the Leonard lot for the following icasoas:
l'irst l'ropertv has grratl) depiecl.itod, and
is still depreciating in the neighborhood of tin
Windsor Iluslniss hccms to have left that
IHjrtlon of l'enn avenue without prospect of a
icturn.
Second The pewt would be altcgtlher isolated
there, and would not hatmonlze with the cur
rouiulings While, If loc.ited upon the Leon
ard lot. it would be contiguous to the- public
buildings, and near neighbor to the Young
Men' Christian Atsoclation building and the 1
bright library, ft would also follow the rule,
which appears common to all rilie.s, ii.: to
group public building together.
Third Property in the vicinity nf the Ijeniurel
lot is constantly being improved, and conse
quently increasing in value.
Fourth Tho gencr.il comlltloin which operate
lo establish real estate xalue-s, if applied to tho
Windsor property, would teem to show that the
prico asked in several thousand dollars too high.
It the pioperty Is so gooel and cheap, why does
the owner a wealthy man manifest to great
a dciire to get rid of it, by unloading it kiH
the Cirand Army of the llepuhlic association?
l'ifth The Windsor, then, is not .1 bargain,
and if It was, the Grand Army of the Republic,
I11 seeking a permanent home, does not anil
should not engage In real estate speculation as
audi.
Sixth The )ears that have elajKed since the
Vl11d40r waa erected have brought about many
Improvements in building. All of time could
be utilized In a new (.tructure planned and built
solely for the uses of the Grand Army of the
Itepublie
For le-ss inoiic) than is asked for the Windsor
property .1 vacant lot can be purchased, a suit
able building ereeteel thereon, fully equipped for
the purposes required, which, I believe, would
be far better than purchasing, remodeling, re
pairing and fitting up an old hotel property.
As a final cuggcMlon, I would add that thes
fact that wc are already Installed in the Wind
sor building should not influence a single vote
in its favor, for there in no obligation, what
ever, to remain, as I understand, and the Grand
Army of the ltepubllc can be relied upon to pay
all rents and other proper charged for the time
it occupies the premises.
