Wonders Never Cease.

Last week the Newberry Observer came out
on q patent side. After fighting the patent
side for years that excellent paper has been
convinced OF the wisdom OF the plan, and has
adopted the better system.
or course the act Of the Observer u, cans
that the Herald and News must also sooner or
later make the same advanced step.
Where the ability and the conditions are at
all equal no home print paper can long hold
out against the progressive neighbor who
takes advantage Of the improvements in his
own profession.

TELEGRAPH OFFICE.
The Western Union Putting Up Wires
Along the G., &. 6N.

Along the G., c. & n.
The Western Union Telegraph Company are
now putting up wires along the line of the
g., c. & N. railway, and this fact suggests the
opening of telegraph office on the Public
Square. We presume if the citizens should
unite In q request for the company TO do so,
that they would open an office In the business
part of town.
Speaking for the Press and Banner we are
not decided as TO whether the uptown office
would be more desirable than the offices at
the railroad depots. The business OF the G.,
keep an operator In the office all hours of the
day and night, and we presume dispatches
could be sent from that depot at any hour of
the night. II we are correct In this supposi-
tion. and II 1t be true that the uptown Office
would be closed. we have no hesitation in say
ing that we prefer an Office that is kept open
all the time, even II 1t be little further re-
moved from the public square.

The School Book Question.

Superintendent OF Education Mayfleld has
been in fisticuff with one OF the school book
publishers, and volumes have since been
printed in the newspapers to establish the
correctness Of the Superntendents official
action In voting as he did for or against GER
tain books.
AS q result Of the action of Mr.. Maytield
and the remainder Of the board the parents of
children in all parts of the State are doing
little talking on their behalf.
The constant change in the school books is
q source OF trouble to the people, and the high
price at which the books are sold gives still
further cause OF complaint.
While the Press and Banner would not at
tempt TO solve the perplexlng question, yet
we believe 1t will never be settled as long as
particular publishers are aW arded the sole
privilege OF furnishing the books.
We take Il that every school book publisher
has sent bis books free to every School Com
missioner in the State, and that every pub
Usher has spent more or less money In send
ing agents to Columbia to present their
claims.
All this costs money, which must be refund
ed by somebody. 1t is hardly to be presumed
that the Northern publishers are sufficiently
philanthropic to induce them TO incur all this
expense without hope Of having 1t refunded.
II, then, 1t is to be refunded the school chill.
dren must bear the expense at last by the in.
creased cost Of their books.
There Is no good reason, with which we are
acquainted. which would justify the exorbl-
tant prices which are charged for books, ex-
cept in the fact that particular publishers
have the exclusive right to print the books.

JUDGE ARCHIBALD.

Laokawanna's Candidate Receives FIatter.
Ing Assurances of Support
The friends of Judge Archibald in Scranton
and vicinity are highly pleased with the
showing he has made as a candidate for the
Republican nomination for the Supreme
Court bench, hattering assurances of support
having been received from many sections of
the state. The coal regions will make a
harmonious effort to nominate a candidate
who is thoroughly familiar with all mining
laws
Judge Robert Woodrow Archibald was born
in Carbondale Luzerne, now Lackawanna,
county, September 10, 1S4s, and is of com
bined Scotch and New England ancestry.
His father, James Archibald, was native of
Ayrshire, Scotland, and his mother was a
daughter of Major Thomas rockingham, of
the Continental Army, who was born at
Charlestown, Massachusetts,. Judge Arch
bald's father, the late Hon. James Archibald,
removed TO Carbondale in 1928 shortly after
which he was made superintendent of the
Delaware & Hudson Canal Companys work 8
there in which position he remained for
thirty years. When Carbondale became
city in 1851 James Archibald became its first
Mayor When the subject of this sketch was
in his ninth year his father removed with
him to Scranton, so that he grew up in the
midst of the remarkable development Of
Scranton and vicinity.
Judge Archibald was favored with the
highest educational advantages. His first
leanings were toward the calling of Civil
Engineer so he spent two seasons with an

candidates, Judge John Handley and Edward
Merrifeld, Esq. Judge Archbald's plurality
was about 1000. At the age of SO he took
his seat upon the bench as Additional Law
Judge on January 5, 1885. He became
President Judge when Judge Hand was
appointed to the Supreme Court Bench in
August, 1888.
Judge Archibald took a firm hold upon the
judicial business of the court from the start
and by his studious consideration of questions
brought before him and his attention to bust.
ness, quickly gained the confidence and re.
spect of the bar. In the eight years that he
has been upon the bench he has had an ex-
perience in judicial work equal to that of al.
most any other Judge in the state and
superior to the great number. He gives every
question before him most searching ex-
animation and his best legal judgment, so that
he is very seldom reversed. Twice his de-
cisiOns have gone before the United States
Supreme Court for review and in each in
stance they have been sustained He has
shown great ability as writer of opinions,
his review of cases being clear, logical and
thorough.
Judge Archibald has valuable experience
in all branches of the law. He has shown
himself unusually strong in all negligence
cases, never having been reversed in these,
and in municipal law has an experience only
to be acquired by growing up with municipal
questions. He is splendidly equipped to
dispose of all mining questions that arise
and for this reason alone is entitled to a seat
un the Supreme bench. His opinions in such
cases have been universally commended for
their research and learning. He is now in
the prime of life, with a perfect physique,
extraordinary mental endowments, and
judicial temperament. These qualities, with
his legal experience, make him the best
equipped of all candidates for the office, and
the Republicans of the Keystone state will
honor themselves by selecting him as their
candidate

guilty. Mrs. Slattery, the WIFE, was also
before the court on an indictment charging
her with aiding and abetting her husband in
the rObberies but the court announced that
this indictment had been quashed on the
ground that if the wife had anything to do
with the robberies she was forced into it by
the husband, Mrs. Slattery was thereupon
discharged. Yesterday Dennis slattery

Mr.. Coyle suggested that the Shenandoah

Mr. PomerOy repelled it in very snave but

privilege to two companies for the operation
of a line in one street
