TnE LABOR REFORM JUDGE.

Judge Stanton has suddenly risen TO un-
cnviablc notoriety, From practi TONER in
tho police courts Of Scranton he was elevated
to the responsible position of a Law Judge
and at almost the frst opportunity that was
presented he has shown himself utterly un-
fit to occupy the Bench. The manner in
which he conducted the trial of Mr. PAUL.,
n respected citizen of Scranton, on a charge
of forgery, the undue haste with which he
desired to sentence the prisoner, contrary to
the wishes and judgment ofthe District At
torney, and hi1 preparation of written
| opinion oyerrnling motion for new trial
before hearing the argument for the defend
ant are examples of judicial infamy never
before witnessed in court of Justice in this
| Commonwealth. He has thus excited the
wrath of all respectable citizens of Luzerne
County, and called down upon his head the
Indignation and denunciation OF the people
and the press of the whole state. This man,
Stanton, WAS elected by the Labor Reform
party, now merged into the Natonalists. II
he is sample of the kind of officers that
that party proposes to make when they have
the power, well may the people of those
sections tremhle, for there is an end to the
proper administration of justice. The
prompt action Of the Supreme Court il
grating writ of error, and ordering Mr.
PAUL. to be released on bail, shows pretty
clearly the opinion they entertain of the
conduct of the Court in this matter. Their,
is much talk about an effort to have Judg,
Stanton impeached.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. C., May 0, 1878.

When Speaker Randall took the floor,
last week, and charged extravaganza upon
the Republican party, he did what he
ought to have done, or what some one else
ought to have done long ago. Few could
make the charge as forcbly as Mr.. Randall.
His long experience in the House, his quick
ness IN debate, almost made me wish that he
had remained on the il,or Mr.. Atkins, Mr..
f. en-, Gen. Banning, Gen. Bragg, Mr.. Glov-
er, Mr. Springer and other efficient Repre-
sen,aiives might say, indeed have said on
particular subjects-al that Mr.. Randall
sai But they did not say it as well. 1t
was something wonderful to see all the
prominent Republicans take their turn in
meeting The plain charge of Randall that, so
far rs Congress was concerned, Republican
isuI meant extravaganza aud Democracy
economy. Garfield, Foster, Hale, Conger
aud the rest defended their party, but the
facts, plainly given by the Speaker, were
against them. When we look at the situa-
ton as it is we cannot help agreeing that,
as the Speaker put it, the country must this
! Fall decide, in the Congressional elections,
whether it will have Democracy and econo.
my or Republicanism and extravagance.
The Treasury Department, it appears, has
been engaged in making up tables ofamounts
of money claimed by Southern men, with q
view Of frightening people into voting the
Republican ticket this Fall A more legiti
mate business for the Secretary and his sub
ordnstes would be to pass upon the mum
beress orthern and Southern claims already
? before them Another good thing, if th,
Secretary does not care either to pay or rejec
these claims, would be to urge the creation
of Commission or Court with authority I,
pass upon them. In this connection wisl

correspondence, that an Act be passed Civ

THE GREAT WHAT is IT.

Frank Hughes, one of the leaders of the
new National party, says that he is Demo-
crat, that the doctrines he advocates as the
principles of the National party arc the old
Democratic principles He has not left the
Democrats but that party has abandoned its
Jeffersonian principles. We understand from
this that the National party is simply reor-
ganzation of the old Democracy. William
Ii. Armstrong, another leader of the new
party, and candidate for Governor, says that
he is Republican, that the doctrines he ad-
vocates as the principles of the Nationalists,
are the old Republican principles. He has
not left the Republicans, but that party has
abandoned its time honored platform. We
understand from this that the National party
is simply the reorganization Of pure Repub-
licanism.
Therefore we are led to the logical infer
encc that Democracy and Republicanism,
before they became so corrupt as to require
the formation of this new party to reform
them, were identical, and hence Mr.. Hughes
must formerly have been Republican and
Mr.. Armstrong Democrat without know
ing it.
The new party is known as the National
Greenback party and it advocates the issu-
ing of greenbacks as Treasury notes. That is
its leading doctrine, and yet one of the local
leaders here informs us that the Nationals
and Greenback party are distinct organiza
tions. 1t looks as though things were some
what mixed, and if somebody who knows viii
please explain what kind Of creature the
new party is, we shall be edited. Perhaps
the legal gentlemen who is at present writing
articles for the would be organ Of the Nation
ais can inform u.s.

SECRETARY OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS.


Hon J. Howard Beach who has been
named rs a candidate tor tho Office of Secrc-
tary of Internal Affairs on the Democratic
ticket was born in Sullivan county, n. /. in
1887 and is consequently III years of age.
He received thorough academic education
mainly at Monticello, N. Y. His Father
Capt. Eli Beach was one of the business pi-
oneers of the Upper Delaware Valley en-
gaging in the tanning business on the New
York side as early as 1898. In 1854 he
moved into Pennsylvania establishing in
connection with the late Young Andrews,
E.q., the Rock Glen tannery at Milanville,
Wayne Co., and four years afterwards the
subject of this sketch became one of the
partners succeeding to the interest of Mr..
Andrews, which position he still holds, hav.
ing at the death VI his father become the
head of the concern. The iirm stands very
high in commercial circles in Philadelphia
and New York. During the twenty years
spent in active and very extensive business
| relations with the people of this section Mr..
| Beach has acquired the reputation OF being
d thoroughly honest, upright aud public
| spirited mau rs is sufficiently proven by the
fact that he has been repeatedly called to
| dill almost every local office within their pow
er to bestow, Though always pronounced
| in his political views and active for the gen.
eral success of his party it was not until lS1-
that Mr. Beach would permit himself to be
named for position in wider sphere Of
usefulness He was then nominated IL
county convention and in District confer
ence for seat in the Legislature and elect
ed by the largest majority ever given in The
district and over the strongest man the op
position could name against him. In tn,
following year he was renominated by tn,
Democracy by which time his course had SC
commended him to general favor, it wa
deemed unwise to confront him with any op
ponent, and he was returned Uhhout Opposi
ton. His course while in the Legislature
matter of public record and the closes
scrutiny will show it to have been governe
by the purest and most patriotic motive.
Since his Legislative career he has receive

0 a tender of the nomination from the othe
f county in the district for the position
; State Senator but owing to sickness in h
t family he was constrained to decline th

long deferred claims OF the Northeast to
place on the ticket would be recognized, M
Beach was at once selected rs the proper r,
cipient of the favor and the delegates wei
unanimously instructed to present and urg

THE NATIONALS.

That illustrious body met at Philadelphia
on Wednesday last. Hon. A. G. Smith was
present from this County. The dispatch
says he made humorous speech" Smith
is man of infinite jest" as his new party
will find out ere long. Simon P. Kase was
one of the delegates from Philadelphia. He,
too, is in in favor of more money. Hon. i.
W. Hughes presided over the Convention.
A resolution was offered proposing that
the convention recognize no candidate that
has any afliliation with the old parties, This
was amended SO as not to include the judici-
any. The amendment was lost and the original
motion was carried. Immediately there was a
wholesale denunciation of candidates. Hon.
Hendriek b. Wright WAS accused Of being
Democrat dyed in the wool, Mr. Armstrong
was accused of being Republican who was
insincere in the greenback cause. There
was crimin alton and recriminatiOn and the
widest confusion ensued-forty members
being on their feet at once yelling for the
ballot to proceed on the govenorship hip-others
moving to adjourn and still others gesticulat-
ing and brawling at the top OF their voices.
Finally the vote was taken and it was de-
cided to pr oceed to ballot on the governor
ship.
Two ballots were taken on the governor
ship, the first resulting as follows Arm
strong, 81 Wright, Ga Mason, o9 Piol-
let, 4.
The second ballot was as follows Arm
strong, "a Wright, 81 Mason, 1l5 Piol.
let, 2. Mason was thereupon declared the
nominee, and the nomination was made un,
aDimous.
There was but one ballot taken on tn,
Lieutenant Goyernorship and it resulted a
follows Shearer 1919, Fincher and Jack
son 81.
The ballot for secretary of Internal Al
fairs resulted as follows Wright, SO; Burt
rs; Caldwell, g.
The convention then took up the platform
which generally annuncia;ts the princpl,
adopted in the National Convention at IL
ledo in February last. They declare thu
the government should furnish all TO fam
lies desirous of settling upon the publ
lands. They favor rigid economy in the az
ministration of public affairs demand Ii
eight-hour system of labor abolition of Ii
prison contract system of labor a graduate
system of income tax, by which the wealI
of the nation rather than the industry Of ii
people should pay the expenses of the go
ernment wholesome and permanent tar
laws for the protection of American industl
education should be free, secular and indu
trial and no property except what belongs
the government should be exempt from ia
alton.
Bentley, Mason and Shearer have bee
Republicans, and Wright Democrat, L
ollett at one time reached votes, aud form
erly was well, anything.

RIGHT FOR ONCE.

"An act appropriatng 800, 900 to the hos
ptal of the Jefferson medical college, of the
city of Philadelphia, fell for want of a con-
stitutional majority"
In 1872 the University of Pennsylvania,
located at Philadelphia, by dnt of persist
ent lobbying got an appropriation of $780,
600 from the State. The institution was
wealthy at the tirae. A pledge was given
to the Committee of Ways and Means, that
if the above named sum was donated no
future appropriations would be asked Tor
fron the State. To the surprise of the writ
er the same institution senrs its professors
and other lobbyists to the Legislature the
following session and demanded another
800, 600. The Professors met in the room OF
the Com mittee of Ways and Means, and
were patiently heard. They were reminded
of their pledge of the previous year, bu
while acknowledging it, still claimed thu
additional appropriation. Stimulated by thu
success of its rival, the Jetlersonian medica
college then sent its corps of Professors t
Harris burg the same year. 1873 aud secured
also an appropriation of 100000. Eacl
year since persistent efforts have been mad
to get more money from the Treasury, an
we are glad TO know that the taxpayers O
the State, for this year at least, are save
100000 by the defeat of the Jefferson med
ical college bill,
Neither of these colleges are State inst
tutions, They are local, and of small ad
> vantage to people outside of Philadelphia
But that city, by combining with Pittsburl
and log'rolling" for few minor apprt
priations in the interior of the State, mani
ges to deplete the Treasury annually. 1t
"I will vote for your bill, if you will vol
: for mine.' The result is vicious legislatio
throughout, and a squandering of the Stat
funds, wrung from the hands of an imp
i yershed and overtaxed people.

We notice among the Legislative proceed
ings of last week, an appropriation of sl2OO
OF the peoples money to pay the funeral ex-
penses oftwo members Of that body who died
recently. What "iuneral expenses" includes
we are not informed, but it is news that mem
bers of the Legislature who die during Their
term of office are to be buried at the expense
d the State. However, if our law makers
now squandering the public money by keeping
alive at Harrisburg would appropriate 5000
apiece to bury enough of themselves to de-
stroy a quorum and thus cause an adjourn
ment it would be saving of thousands Of
dollars to the State and nobody would COM
plain of the expense.

Mr.. Ben. Pitman, the husband OF the ere
mated Mrs Pitman, has been credited with
the sentimental idea of planting his wifes
ashes under rose bush, to allow her gradu.
ally to exhale into fragrance But it seems
that the remains of cremated people are not
reduced to ashes as popularity believed, but to
a substance resembling the cutie bone given
TO birds-at any rate this is said to be the case
with the eremated Baron De Palm. This resi-
due would not, apparently, amount to much
rs food for flowers, but, if not capable of de-
yelsping into fragrance, it might, il used by
