An Era of Harmony.

1t is a gratifying assurance which
comes from sources high in the conil-
dence of the incoming state admins
tration that there will be evinced no
disposition to punish Republicans who
may, in the past, have, through per-
sonal reasons, Jagged in their allegi-
ance to the state organization. The
governor-elect, remembering the cir
cumstances attending his first candi-
dacy, four years ago, could not con-
sistently pursue a less liberal course,
though he were disposed to. And he,
very wisely, is not disposed to.
There are, for instance, many Re-
publicans who favored John b. Robin
son for lieutenant governor. These
men were as loyal to the state ticket,
when the gentleman from Allegheny
had been fairly nominated over the
gentleman from Delaware, as We're any
of the original supporters of Walter
Lyon. They were faithful to their
first choice, until 1t was demonstrated
that he was not the choice of the con-
vention; but afterward they were as
jealous in the behalf of the nominees
as loyal partisans could we'll be. 1t
would be serious injustice, as well as
a serious mistake, to subject these Re-
publicans to what is known among
politicians as the rod Of discipline To
do so would be to gratuitously endan-
ger the harmony and good will now so
fortunately prevalent among Republi-
cans throughout the state
A most admirable opportunity con-
fronts General Hastings in the chance
which is open to him to bring the party
closer affiliation and more harmonious
mutual relationship than they have
been for some time in Pennsylvania
This can be done by demonstrating to
the people that party leadership, with
all its needful organization and dis
cipline, does not necessarily imply an
autocracy, to which the individual
wishes of the people are of slight con-
Germ; but simply such Capitalization
of authority as is necessary to give the
opinions of the masses proper momen-
tum and wholesome effect. The proper
demonstration Of this truth would be
productive Of lasting good.

Physicians Should Advertise.

Why should physician not advertise
What is discreditable in a conservative
announcement Of his special training
and qualifications? Why should he be
prosecuted by fellow physicians for do
ing what all other professional men find
it decidedly advantageous to do?
These questions are suggested by the
action of the Allegheny Medical society
in expelling DR.. William f. Barclay, one
of the best known physicians of Pitts
burg, because he advertised a certain
solution of gold in arsenic without di-
vulging the secret Of its preparation.
Were the other members of that society
simply envious of DR., Barclays success
or do they really believe that it is un-
dlgnifled to vend medicines except in the
old, retail, prescription way?
Physicians, as class. are most ami
able, liberal-minded and charitable men,
except toward each other. Why do they
not discard the "ethics" of century or
more ago and get up to date?

POLITICAL POINTS.

No doubt is entertained Of Stephen B
Elkins' election to the West Virginia sen
atorship.
Tennessee Republicans are afraid Gov.
ernor-elcct Evans may yet be juggled out
Of office.
Govcrnor-elect Morton publicly denlea
that there has been any estrangemnt he
tween ex-senator Platt and himself, OF
any other representative Republican con.
corning appointments
Reuben i. Kolb, the Populist STANDING
candidate for governor of Alabama, says
Oates nominal plurality of 27.5S2 will be
wiped out by frauds in fifteen counties
of which he has sworn evidence.
William II. Zeller, the efficient and
obliging state editor of the Philadelphia
Times, will represent that journal at flar-
risburg next session, thus assuring the
thoroughness of its legislative news ser.
vice.
General Reeder as secretary Of the com.
monwealth, will have fifteen places to MI
A deputy, at $500; chief clerk, at 81 200
corporation clerk $1,000; one extra clerk
l,5OO; ten other clerks, s1,40O each, and a
messenger, Sl,1OO
In the line of phenomenal majoritles the
greatest ever given in Pennsylvania, says
the Philadelphia Times considering the
times and vote, was that to Governor
John Andrew Shuttle, Democrat, IN
1896. Shuttle had 72,7l0 votes to LILO cast
for Sergeant, majority of 7l,j4O.
Among the latest applicants for favor
at General Hastings hands Is Colone
Thomas NJ. Jones, the ubiquitous ant
clever editor Of the Harrisburg Telegraph
Mr.. Jones has already climbed up flames
ladder until he is the recognized peer Of
any political reporter at the capital; but
he now aspires TO seek shelsels as well, In
the capacity of state printer If newspa
per men decided this appointment 1t woult
doubtless go to Mr.. Jones by an over
whelming majority.

BAD ENOUGH AS IT is,

From the Wilkes-Barr Record.
We have a large and varied assortment
of unhung assassins, it is true, but Red
Nose Mike was not the last to swing from
a LuZerne scaffold. Two others paid the
penalty for their crimes since then
George w. Moss, who shot his wife in a
fit of jealous rage, and Edward Mcmillan
the Sturmerville fiend who mutilated his
wife in a most shocking manner. II
does not follow, however that Luzerne
county does not in measure deserve the
shady reputation fastened upon her with.
in the past two or three years. There are
altogether too many murderers running
loose today and our Jurors are just lit
tie squeamish in passing upon those who
happen to be apprehended. When it be-
comes distinctly understood that murder
means hanging for the murderer and that
the county authorities make 1t their duty
to hunt the cut-throats down, Luzerne
and Lackawanna will redeem the repu.
tations they have lost. Until this Is done
there is no use palliating or excusing our.
selves or pointing to the other fellow and
saying you're as bad as l am"

CAPTAIN Delaney for Factory Inspector

There Is every reason to believe that
a former resident of this county, and
creditable one, Captain John c. Della
ney, will soon receive the appointment
of factory inspector from the incoming
governor, General. Hastings. Should
this prospect become a fact the COVER
nor-elect, Captain Delaney and the
commonwealth would equally deserve
congratulations.
While now a resident Of and a prop
erty owner in Dauphin county, Captain
Delaney's long residence in Dunmore,
his thorough familiarity with the needs
of labor-a familiarity achieved during
years of hard work in the mines, and at
the breaker-his natural sympathy for
those who toll and his sterling Repub-
licanism give his candidacy a special
local interest. 1t is true that Captain
Delaney has held office before; but can
dor compels us to say of him that he
has never disgraced a trust, either by
maudlin intoxication in public place,
by long absence from his post of duty
or by other demonstration of weakness
or evil purpose. He would bring to the
position of factory inspector qualifica-
tions which are genuinely needed in
that important place; and would dis
charge its duties faithfully and ener-
getically.
The Republicans of Lackawanna
county would learn with pleasure of
Captain Delaney's appointment.

THE VICTORY'S SIZE.
Tom Reed at Boston.

Tom Reed at Boston
When, in 1910, the people rose in such
wrath that 1910 has been in American pol
itics the symbol of an Alpine avalanche,
the house Of representatives only changed
from twelve Democrats to thlrty-seven
Wings, a change of forty-nine, and even
when you add one half for increase of
size, you have only ninety y-eight for to-
tai. When Franklin Pierce swept the
country in 1852, the Wings lost but thirty
seats. In the great upheaval Of 1874,
which exceeded that of 1890, ninety-ninc
Republican majority was changed to
forty-flve Democratic majority, and the
south assumed that solidity which has
been the misfortune OF this country ever
since. The total change then was I44.
The change two weeks ago was 23S. If
you take off fifty for increase of the
house, you still have change of 1888. A
change of 2SS in body Of S5G is unparalleled
in the history of this country, and so far
as l now recall, of any executive body in
any free government In this world.

Heal the Old Wound.

While the Republicans of the Fif-
teenth district are not in need of out
side interference, they will doubtless
not resent a few words of friendly coun-
sci, offered for the good of the party.
With little more than two months
intervening between the election of a
successor to the late Myron b. Wright,
they will have ample time to compose
any factional difficulties that may arise
and thus be enabled to overcome the
feeling which has twice previously, as
result of sectional bitterness, turned
this strongly Republican district over
to the Democrats. So far as known,
the only names which are seriously
considered, as yet, are those of w. N
Reynolds, of Wyoming; James H. Cod
ding and William j. Young, of Brad
ford, Frederick c. Wright, Of Susque-
hanna, brother of the late congress-
man, and ex-Congressman Cornelius C.
Jadwin, Of Wayne. Several other COM
plimentary candidates. have been sug.
gested; and one Of them, that of Homer
Greene, may. in the event of Mr.. Jad-
wins positive refusal to accept nomi-
nation, become deservedly formidable
The point that we desire to bring to
the attention Of our readers in the dis
trict Is that whomsoever they shall

tional entanglements and fitted by
character and experience to succeed the

Democracy's Statesmen of the proud
promise and the paltry fulhlment" will
not thank Tom Reed for the epigram
Very Practical Reform.

The recent rulings Of Judges Stowe,
Collier and Slagle, of the common pleas
court of Allegheny county, will, unless
reversed, go a great way toward the
publication of future naturalization.
These rulings are six In number.
The first one provides that every
petition for naturalization must be
filed thirty days in advance of
the hearing and shall. unless other
wise ordered, be publicly advertised in
at least two papers, at the cost Of the
petitioner. The remaining five rules are
as follows;
''Any citizen may file q remonstrance
or objection to the naturalization of an
alien at any time prior to final hearing.
EVERY applicant will be required to
show to the satisfaction of the court that
he is able to read or speak the English
language, and that he understands and
IL attached to the principles of the con-
stltution of the United States and of this
commonwealth, and well disposed to the
good order and happiness of the COM
munity.
Every petitioner not resident of this
country shall show under oath that his
petition has not been rejected by any
other court and that there Is satsfac-
tory reason for applying to this court in
stead of to the court of his domicile.
"Every petitioner shall allege in his pc
tition, under oath, that the expenses of
his application are not paid or to be paid
by any political party or committee or
person representing or acting for the
same.
1.-THE officers fees and the costs Of adj
vertising shall be paid by the petitioner
at the time of filing his application"
1t Is matter of uncertainty whether
this court has the authority to rule as
above; but there is no possible doubt of
the wisdom and timellness of the reform
that 1t suggests. 1t is high time that
every community in Pennsylvania
which is not absolutely Indifferent to
the publication of the American fran
chise should move toward similar sift-
ing of the applications for conferred
citizenship.

titled to and would unquestionably re-

whose election would be followed by ac-
ceptable and distinguished public SER

Good government is worth its cost.

Should Mgr. Satolli be elevated to the
cardinalate on Dec. s, as reported, the
honor would be worthily bestowed
Considering the difficulties under which
he has labored, the success of this
churehman in untangling Catholic af-
fairs in this country without offence to
the American instinct is most remark
able. He came here regarded by many
AS an interloper; he will return to Italy
leaving behind him the sincere respect
pf almost all classes of the American
people.

First Assistant Postmaster General
Jones has asked for legislation that will
prevent the boycotting of minor post
offices. He says that complaints have
been made that the revenues of fourth
class offices have been greatly reduced
by the action of patrons who mail let
ters upon cars or take them to other
offices, thus depriving the postmaster
of their village of the opportunity of
cancelling the stamps. The absurdity
of asking congressional interference
in such a matter is in accord
ance with the general policy Of
the present postal administration. A
much better plan would be to appoint
postmasters whom the people will not
find it necessary to boycott.
