Demociat or that votes

in this cunipuiKn ho has chosen to bo
a Prohibitionist would hardly go far:
yet they would be as little entitled to
Itepubllcan consideration as is the at
tempt of Newconib's friends to excite
Jealousy anions nepublicans of .IiuIro
Carpenter's former law partner, Mr.
Fleits.
Vleltz doesn't need any excuses, apol
ogies or other form of defense. He is
abolindnntly able to tithe care of him
self and is doins: it all tlie time. The
blows aimed at f'arpentor but landlne;
tin him do him no harm and we have
been unable to discover that they have
harmed I'arpentor. It certainly was no
crime on Carpenter's part to choose an
energetic. youitK law partner, one cap
able of pushing his way up from the
ranks by brain anil merit. Nor was it
n crime for Kleitz. anions others, to
recognize in Carpenter Rood material
for the bench and to work both for his
appointment and his election. The fact
that u majority of the bar of the coun
ty, iiieludiiiK Mr. Neweomb, indorsed
Carpenter for tlie appointment, shows
that Flullis was not alone in his opin
ion of Carpenter's merit, and Carpen
ter's conduct, since he went on the
bench, lias satisfied every observing
sltlzcn that ho is the man for the place.
But just think how tmall this attack
on Klelta Is. He is a young- man. Ho
begun poor. Ho has risen without pull
or aid. Ho has worked his way up,
step by step, through use of opportuni
ties o'tually open to all; and simply
because he has made more rapid pro-sxes-s
and won a higher place than or
dinary he is made the target of envy
and attack; and over his head blows
iru aimed at Judge Carpenter, than
whom there has not been a cleaner or
oetter Judicial candidate In the history
of Lackawanna politics. Though wo
believe these tactics are utterly futile
as concerns their power to defeat the
present excellent nepubllcan ticket,
and have every assurance of the elec
tion of that ticket Tuesday by hand
some majorities for every man on It,
Vet the contemptible character of these
tactics, the low estimate which they
Placo upon the fairness and upon the
""ntelllgeiicu of our people, tnakost It
'lcetssary that a stinging rebuke .should
oo administered to their sponsors.
Neweomb permits thuso attacks, If

Colonel Boles' Letter.
w
B GIVE SPACE elsewhoro
to a letter from Colonel
Jlulrs objecting to The
Tribune's explanation ot
;he recent pilninry assessment, The
letter Is Interesting principally for Its
imhor'ti unfamlllarlty with political
Conditions. This Is Illustrated whero
no asks: . "How could Chairman D.ivls
ssess persons before It was determined
Who weru registered as candidates? A
lozcii might register at the last mo
lienl." Now if the colonel was morn
;onthmously active In the detail work
f party politics ho would Know that
he Itepubllcan party rules In this coun
y fix a day bayond which candidates
nay not register and assessments are
latcrmincd after the rCL'lstrutton Is
coiuhlelo. This Is nlily n sintill point,
to bo stlre, but In overlooking It Col
onel Holes hIiowh how inofctmlmml re
formers often Irln mill fall,
The colonel's labored ttltnl)t to
lirove the UlieoiiHtlttitloniillly of the
Crawfortl eottnt.v primary yteni,
whl'Mi ninny of tlie nentlcineii now jib-Rot-luted
with him In Colonel Illlch
foelc'a slump movement once co devout
l.v praised as einbodylnc; the essence
ut nollllcul reform, is really ludicrous
In view of tlio fact that the courts have
held tluii direct pi'liuark") arc "con
ventions" wlliilii tlio ineanlnsr ut' the
art of IfiT'l; and, therefore, tlic iiccos
Kiiry expenses of tlio?e prliiuirles are
"expressly ulithorlzed by lnu." thus
coming within tlio constitutional oath.
Krom his arBUinenln on this grave con
stitutional Issue It Is evident that Col
onel Holes has taken his taw from
Ncwooinb and the Times. Colonel
Hitchcock, who was willing lo pay n
small assessment, but not his share of
tile costs, knows better. Mr. Ktuigcs,
a member of the bar, paid his shore of
a similar assessment last year and hud
no scruple In subsequently taking- the
constitutional oath.
Ah to whether, if tlie most rigorous
economy had been employed, Hie esti
mate of expenses upon which the pri
mary .ifsessinents were apportioned
could have been cut down n few pen
nies here and and u few pennies there,
at tlie expense of tlio party workers
who are expected to keep the party
machinery going when Colonel Holes,
Colonel Hitchcock, .Mr. St urges and
aristocratic gentlemen of their kind en
joy elegant leisure or more congenial
pursuits, thai, like most of the profes
sional refoi tiling proposed in tills world,
Is based principally on conjecture, U
Colonel Hitchcock had paid up. like, a
man, and I here had been an unexpend
ed balance, lie would have got back
his proportion of It. Vet it was equally
his privilege to withdraw, as he did,
and enter Into the third parly or stump
movement which aims at tlie election
ot Mr. Neweomb. Only, having- exer
cised this option. It ill becomes him to
play an unfounded sympathy game.
Human nature is so contrived Hint
good men continually gu wrong. It is
sad to sec the gentlemen of the Muni
cipal league working unconsciously tu
elect the Democratic ticket: but for
tunately our reports convince us that
tln-y will not succeed.
Why should Lackawanna county
voters be asked to elect two Demo
cratic judges in one year'.'
The State Treasury.
TWENTY years ago the state
of Pennsylvania owed, in
round numbers, $-'1, 500,000.
Today she owes only a trifle
over SjOO.OOO, against which is an un
expended balance of nearly $,".,000,000.
Few states in the Union can show
cither a corresponding reduction in
funded indebtedness or a similar fidel
ity In tlie handling' of its finances,
t'uder Republican management ot tlie
state treasury, in spite of the fuss and
buncombe of those wishing- to put tlio
Republican parly out of power in this
great Republican common wealth, not a
dollar has ever boen lost, misplaced or
stolen. State Treasurer Harnett thus
effectually disposes of the false pre
tences of the Corny movement:
"I am tlie sole custodian of the funds
lu the treasury, and when my term of
olllco ends, my successor will lind every
penny of the slate funds, expended or
unexpended, properly accounted for. No
Individual, corporation, bank or poli
tician can name any pers-on or per
sons other than myself who control the
stale funds. There aie no robbers in
the state treasury. These allegations
are the deliberate falsehoods of those
who are attempting to deceive the pub
lic, "If the citizens of the commonwealth
will come to tlie treasury they will Ilml
that all tlio motils, drawbridges and
battlements, which unscrupulous dema
gogues have- told tiicni will bar their
way, are nowhere, to be found. They
will see employes of the state faithfully
working to honestly serve the stale to
the best of their ability. They will lind
themselves welcomed and not regarded
with either suspicion or fear.
"A favorite cry of tlie opposition is
'favored banks.' During- the last two
months I have drawn out of the banks
seven and one-half millions of dollars
to pay the appropriation for tlie com
mon and orphans' schools, asylums,
charitable and other institutions, and
to the honor and credit of the banks, it
must be said that they, without excep
tion, responded promptly and cheerfully
to all demands made upon them.
"It has been stated by ex-Governor
I'uttisoti that certain members of the
legislature were favored by advanced
payments on their salaries. For his in
formation I will state that .Messrs.
Creasy and Corny were among those so
favored by advances, Mr, Creasy re
ceiving Ills tlrst advance of $:.00 on
.January 17, null, and Mr, Corny receiving-
his tlrst advance of ?r00 on January
l.'i, liifil, The legislature adjourned June
l!7, 1901.
"In connection with the general ques
tion it may bo pertinent to quote from
Hie report of the prcs-out stuto treas
urer to the but legislature: 'When my
successor appears;, eitliei by election or
my death, live minutes will sullke to
put him in charge of the entire business
of the olllco, The department and Its
affairs are at all times open to the in
spection of the members of the legis
lature and by the citizens of the cum
moivwealth.' "I huve no recollection that Mr.
Corny or Mr. Creasy ever suggested
that the legislature, the authorized
agent of tlie people, should cither In
spect or investigate the slate treasury,
or that either entered Its doors except
for the purpose of drawing their sal
aries. "The eltl.ens of the commonwealth,
without vegan! to party, tiudo or pio
fesslon, nre Invited to como to the state
treasury anil Inspect the workings of
the s.xalcm under which the moneys of
the state are received und disbursed.
They will get accurate Information in
stead of t-econd-hund luls-stateuients of
prejudiced politicians."
Now this Is a fair, ftank and busl-ness-llko
Invitation; and the fact that
it was virtually uuidu u year uso, and
Is not a mere campaign device, gives It
a pood claim upon the conildeiu:e of the
people. Mr. Coruy, who for a number
of years has been very free wllh his re
flections ti)oii the inoinls or men riolu
whoso political views he differed, never
look tin' double either to go In person
lo the slate treasury or to send ah
agent for the purpose- of Investigating
Us condition or Us books: he evidently
lirefeired loiiwnlt the t Imt or Ills noilll
iiiillou for a slate olllee nnd to utilize
the freedom of Unit relationship for the
launching of aspersions Unit he I'liutiot
Justify mid of accusations which he
cannot prove.
It Is no more than fair that the up
valley district should be lepreteiited lu
tlio court house and Jones, for con
troller, Is the num.
Krom now on the promoters of the
l'.iu-Aiiierlcaii will be Interested In the
condition of the cash letflstor only.
A good, clean, capable judge Is Judge
Curpeiilir. lie deserves to be nnd he
will be elected.
