EDITORIAL.
The oiiMis to he taknn by the elec
tion ollieeix at, this Ueimlilienn pi-i -nmriert
:iro printed in this issue of
tlii Phkss, simply as a guide. They j
should Us added to the rules, not as j
any material part hut, in nkr to I
have uniformity, ami that they niny
be printed and distributed to the
election officers thoughout the
county.
Cu.utLKS A. Gillktt nominated
by the Republican convention a
candidate for Jury CommisHioucr, is
ft well-known and highly esteemed
citizen of Lackawaxon township.
He will mako a careful conietent
official, and ono creditable, to the
party. The office while apparently
insignificant ia one which invulvos
great interests to the citizens of the
county, for, upon the munnor in
which the Jury Commissioners fill
the wheel, the caro they exerciso in
tho selection of names and in tho
performance of every duty devolv
ing on them rests to a degree the
security of property and the safety
of person, becauso in their hands to
ft certain extent rest the character
of the juries which puss upon those
questions. Our nominee will no
doubt fill the above requirements in
a satisfactory manner.
THE TIME WILL BE UNIFORM.
The County Commirteo at its
meeting to fix the timo fur holding
tho late township cuueuses, recom
mended that they bo held uniformly
(Saturday, August 2Mb. This sug
gestion was disregarded in two
townships, Lehman and Delaware,
and tho caucuses were held August
31st. While formerly this might
not invalidate tho uction it yet gave
occasion for dissatisfaction and
opened a door f.r those who had
public information of the .proceed
ings i f t he duo mi tto to question, the
motives of thiwo who lixeil a differ
out date fr an that suggested by the
County Committee. It is to avoid
all such opportunity for . contention
us to want of suilii'ieiit noticu of the:
time of h.ihling the caucuses that
th? rules lei'en'ly adopted were in!
part framed, I'n l.-r tlietn there is
a uniform date and n precise time
llted, with die means of giving tho
fullest publicity as to both, and this
will remove one great cause for tho
universal dissatisfaction expressed
with the former method of boi ling
caucuses tin different listen in the
soreral t. .wnships.
TIIK -NEW HULKS.
We trust every Repubhenn in the
county will carefully read tho rule
herein pruienti d. They are concise
and at the same tune as comprehen
sive, as may he necessary for the
government of the party machinery.
Thei; fan ho no question in the
mind of any delegate who was pres
ent at the recent Republican con
vention of the necessity for rules
to govern tho conduct ot party af
fairs. These rules, ns w;ll he seen, sim
ply place the power in tho hands nf
the voters. They leave nil ques
tions to he decided by them, and
also the selection of the persons who
, wi'l he tho nominees of the party.
The voice of the people is supreme
and when fairly expressed at the
polls it Simula he clieerlully ac
quiesced in and receive the hearty
assent of nil. We desire united and
harmonious part' action. Wo may
differ in our opinion as to men and
their qualifications for office but.
when the people have had ft fair op
portunity to oxpivss by their votes
a choice it is tho duty of every party
man to render oordinl suppovt. Tho
provision that, the County Commit
tee shall be elected by the voters of
the county and -nut by a packod
mass convention will forcibly ap
peal as it seems to us, to every fair
minded man. Tho election of a del
egate to the State convention 'by
tho voters within a short time prior
to the meeting of that body, and af
ter tho names, and tho qualifica
tions of the candidates are fully
known, will enable tho Republicans
of the county to express their pre
ference, and tho delegate who goes
to represent them will understand
the sentiment of his constituents.
The party had no rules, it could
not act in concert nor mako united
effort against its common enemy,
under the rules, it will as a party,
designate tho men who aro to -manage
its affairs, and be its standard
bearers.
Again wo invite a careful eon
sideration of tho rules as adopted by
tho convention to the end that
wherein they may bo fairly objec
tionable, or whatever is lacking to
make them efficient in expressing
or currying out tho will of tho poo
plo may ho altered or amended at
the adjourned convention.

There may be strained relations., but
there have been strained relations' be
fore In official circles arid amicable ad
justments have followed. Some time
ago It was reported that the good feel
ing between the governor and Hank
ing Commissioner Ullkeson had been
broken, but I saw Colonel Ollkeson
emerge from the executive department
the other day in the most delightful
frame ot liilnd. He was one broad
amlle. and 11 wus very evident that the
Interview with Ooveinot Hastings had
been a pleasant one. So It has been
wltli other alleged ruptures of friend
ship between state nfll. lals. Stories of
this kind are easily manufactured, but
as a rule they have rJ basis In truth.
It Is but natural tllat. there should
be breaks occasionally and some ten
sion among those In oillclal harness at
the capltul, but It Is sel.loin that the
feeling of coolness entends to an open
break. Paring the a linlnlstrallon of
Oovemor Hastings there have been
many things In Irritate and annoy
those at the head of the state govern
ment, but upon the whole the rela
tions have been exi i-edliiirly conllal.
No other governor has i.ver entertained
so lavishly as (lovernur Hustings. He
lias thrown open the executive munwioii
in many occasions, and mi his various
nips he hua Invariably Invited two or
more of the leadns state otll.lals to
uceompany him.
There will be a grand gathering of
grangers of Pennsylvania and the
t'nlted Blates In this city during tho
drat two weeks of November. The stute
and national gianges will meet simul
taneously, and at least J.ioO visitors
will be here to take part In the dis
cussions. Governor Hastings will de
liver the welcome In behalf of the state
and Mayor Patterson for the city.
Many of the leading farmers of the
country will be In Hairlsburg during
this dual meeting.

T. Larry Kyre, the sergeant-at-arms
of the senate, was In town the other
day. He le not a happy man. and he
regrets that he ever consented to accept
the post of dignity In the senate. He ia
out of pocket several thousand dollars
as the direct result of bis position, and
is short beyond reimbursement. He
says he doesn't expect the legislature
to make good hts losses. As sergeant-at-arn.s
Kyre aeXntupanled tjie va
rious Investigating committed! of the.
senate In their tours of the state last
winter, and when the governor put the
veto ax down hard on several of the
appropriation bills for the payment of
the expenses of these committees there
was trouble in the camp of the sergeant-at-arms,
who advanced money
out of his own private resources for
witness fees and other expenses. Kor
tunaely for Eyre, lie required at least
one committee to give a note endorsed
by the Individual Inembers of the com
mittee to defray the expenses of the
investigators.
Judge Wlllard'a retirement from the
bench of the superior court one week
after the Republican state convention
would seem to Justify the suspicion
that an understanding was had with
Uoveruor Hustings some time ago. It
was announced last spring that Judge
Wlllard's resignation would be In the
governor's hands before the Republi
can convention, so that the convention
could name his successor, but there
was s, change of plan, and as a result
the governor will have the honor of
appointing another legal friend to a
high Judicial post. It is stated that
Benator Quay remarked a few months
ago when he heard of Wlllard's pros
pective retirement tfcat he had f man
for the place. Perhaps the conditions
on Capitol Hill at this partlculur time
caused tho postponement of the resig
nation which is now tn the hand3 of the
governor.

Attorney tleneral Mccormick having
given the eopltol building commission
an opinion to the effect that there was
no abdication of Its powers fin the se
lection of plan and design for the new
state house) In the employment of ex-'
perls tn assist In making a choice of
an architect, it remains to be seen
what the commission will do. The
board of experts, it will be remembered,
"iadp report recoiiiinendlng eight
of
the designs submitted in the order of
meilt, and some of the defeated archi
tects, through their counsel, protested
against the Award on the ground that
ttie comml.-sion had done an Illegal
thing In delegating to a board of three
experts Its dlectetlonary power in the
selection of a design. It was contend
ed that the commission was bound by
the report of the experts under the
terms of the program which governed
I he- competition of the architects. But
Attorney General Mccormick upsets
this view In an interesting opinion, in
which he takes the position that the
submission of designs by the thirty or
more architects was in the nature of a
competitive examination as to their
ability, and that the duty of the com
mission was not the selection of a de
sign or filan, but the choice of an archi
tcct. He holds that the designs sub
mitted were the evidence of the ability
of the architects, and that the com
mission is not bound In any sense by
the report of the experts to accept
their recommendation a final. He
thlnkB that one of the eight architects
must in good faith be selected, but there
Is no blndjng obligation to take his de
ilfrn. All sorts of gossip Is afloat about the
purpose of the commission to go out
side the report of the experts and to
disregard the opinion of the attorney
general, hut the governor evidently
sareea with the experts and the law
oirieer of the commonwealth, and the
end may be Interesting. It is even re
ported that the governor will reslqn
from the commission If the majority,
who are evidently averse to the action
of the experts, turn down their finding
after the publicity that has been given
the matter of the competition.
Aspirants For the Oovorriorhlp.
Republican leaders here are dellgkted
with the action of the Jeffersonlans.
They say that the failure to nominate
a ticket assures the election of Beacom
and McCnuley by a very substantial
vote. There was some fear in the Inner!
c ircles of the ltiniljllcan organization
that the nomination of a second Demo
cratic ticket might, with the unrest of
the Itcpubllcan party and the candi
dacy of Ir. Swallow on a Prohibition
reform platform, combine to defeat the
regular Republican ticket. Now they
regard victory as certain. Kven those
who are opposed to the Quny dynasty
admit that the Iteacom-McCauley ticket
Is sure of winning.
P. A. B. Wldencr's entry Into the
gubernatorial field haR caused much
speculation among the polltlcans, but
the more longheaded of the observers
of the trend of events express the opin
ion that Philadelphia cannot reasonably
expect to capture two chief prlaes so
close together, and that geographical
considerations will spoil the Wldener
boom before It Is fairly launched. As
It stands today everybody agrees that
Congressman Charles W. Stone, of
Warren, stands the best show of ob
taining the Republican nomination.
Oovernor Hastings may be In the field
for the United States senate next time.
For the present, however, he Is saying
little, privately, and refuses to discuss
political matters publicly. The gov
ernor realises fully how he was thrown
In the senatorial contest last winter.
Attorney General Mccormick has
nothing to say about the story that
he will be a candidate for governor on
the anti-Quay platform, but the con
ditions are rapidly shaping themselves
for such a candidacy, and It Is expected
ttiat the attorney general will be In the
eld.
Adjutant General Thomas J. Stewart
has an eye on the gubernatorial chair,
but he Is making very little fuss about
It. He thinks the best way to com
mend his candidacy to the people of
the state Is to give them a first class
administration of his present office.
Deputy Attorney General Elkln has
advised the governor that the appoint
ment of a woman as a police oilier In
Scranton Is a matter entirely within
his discretion and Judgment. One was
appointed on petition of St. Joseph's
society of that city. The same law of
ficer has advised the insurance com
missioner that mutual life Insurance
companius may Issue policies requiring
the payment of periodical premiums of
a fixed and definite sum in lieu of the
assessments made upon the death of
tncittbeis.

from a government official now In Alas

at the same Aime that the writer, whose
name le withheld, had been 12 years In
the set vice and was thoioughly relia
ble. "The Skacguuy trail is the most
luigely used overland route, though by
no means the best, to the Klondike.
Mr. Ivey. collector of eurtoms for Alas
ka. Informs me thnt there are now be
tween tide water and the Inke some
thing like 4. Ono persons and H.IK) horses.
"The commander of one of the ves
sels now at 8k.ipgtiuv states that 16
vessel? are chartered to land cat goes at
that place between now and Sept. 15
ind that the number of passengers will
ivoraue 2(ki to each vessel, making J.S00
more people who will attempt to go in
this fall.
"I hove tnlltd with some of the most
experienced traders and miners In thla
vicinity, and they are unanimous In the
prediction that not over to per cent of
this vast number will get through to
Dnwson before winter sets In. The oth
er in per cent will be caught on the
trail, and those who survive and get
ba.k'to tide water will have to ttlhlor
at kaggttay or return anuth. "
"If the rush continues two weeks
longer, hundreds will Inevitably perish
on the troll, which Is extremely dan
eorous after Oct. 1.
"The poatmsstor and Indian trader at
this place, Mr. Heron, states that more
than I, Onn men have gone up the Chll
kat pass during the past SO days and
that 700 of them are still this side of
the lake, 84 miles from here.
"Vessels ate arriving every day or
two. and at the present rate of Influx
about 1,000 more will enter the trail by
Sept. 10, Mr. Heron Is of the opinion
that not more than 20 out of 100 will
get through, and he anys this trail Is
fur more dangerous than the Skagguay
after the snows set In. He says If the
msh continues another week the re
call and loss of life will be appalling.
"I attach the greatest weight to what
he soys, for the reason thnt It is to his
pecuniary Interest to have as many as
possible come this way, yet he advises
an Immediate stoppage of the stam
pede. "It is difficult to suggest a way to
stop this Inrush of people, but Mr. Ivey
intimates thnt If the Inspection rules
ef the treasury department were prop
erly enforced it would materially de
crease the number of passengers on the
incoming vessels. Nearly every vessel
that arrives here brings twice as many
passengers as the law allows It to car
r,v? and many of them are condemned
craft which have been fitted up for this
trade.
"They unanimously agree that while
there is a rich goldlield there the facts
do not Justify the present mampede,
and they say there is bound to be much
.tillering and actual starvation.
"Provisions arc already scarce and
the prlcoj of many articles absolutely
prohibitory tn the case of a man of or
dinary means.
"The mall facilities are very bad here,
ne the postoffioe department has not
made any allowance for the rapid
growth of postal business. The postal
authorities here are powerless to cope
with the mass nf mall matter, and 1
have doubts as to whether this letter

HI eh Depoalt of Gold Brported Found
In Ontario.
Bault Ste. Marie, Mich., Sept. 7. The
Wlchlplcotten gold strike is more than
has been claimed for It. This Is the
opinion of the first party of 8oo pros
pectors, who returned last night on the
yacht Mary nolle. They are all well
known cltisena and Include ex-Mayor
Jay Hursley, City Comptroller Q. Q.
Scranton. Circuit Court Stenographer
John A. France, Fred Price and others
occupying places of prominence In the
business world of this city. They left
for the gold dletrict last Monday and
arrived there on Wednesday afternoon.
There was only one experienced pros
pector with the party, but soon every
member caught on.
The first day out several promising
Claims wore found, and every member
secured one. Judging from the samples
brought back, they have made a rich
strike. The memtiers of the party re
turned for provisions and the like, but
left T. S. Lisle and O. L. Mitchell on
the ground to protect their Interests,
ft. O. Ferguson, a retired merchant,
who returned with the party, has full
descriptions and left for Toronto last
night to hie his application for the land.
Kvery man who returned last night
already considers hlmaelf as fabulous
ly rich. The ex-mayor said that the
gold find on Lake Wawa was so rich
that unless one was on the ground It
la almost Impossible to form a defi
nite Idea of the Immense wealth of the
country. He said that quartz showing
free gold Is obtainable almost every
where. In many places the particles of
gold are as large as a grain of wheat
I nd fairly stick out of the quarts. This
quarts Is of a frte milling variety, and
experts say It cuji be mined profitably
where it shows an assay of ia a ton.
The mining experts now In the coun
tiy say thut some of the quarts will as
say over tloo to the ton. The quarts
surrounding this gold can be pounded
up In an ordinary druggist's mortar
and can be punned out In this way. The
mayor added:
"In my opinion the deposits extend
over hundreds of thousands of acres.
There are an abundance of veins
showing free gold and proinleing indi
cations in all the moutalns around Lake
Wawa. The nun In our party have
staked out nearly 1.000 acres, in all of
which the quarts veins show plenti
fully. "Prospectors are not yet numerous In
this district, and when we left Satur
day moinlng there were only about 200
men on the ground, but tents were
springing up as If by magic, and a city
will soon exist iu the unproapected
oountry around l.ako Wawa."
