Money in Politics.

Discussing the not altogether disin
terested outcry which has been raised
in certain quarters concerning the
alleged corrupt use of money made in
this years county conventions, the
Philadelphia Press very sensibly, be-
cause very truthfully, says: "The
abolition Of the convention system
would naturally end the business of
buying and selling delegates and so
wipe out that particular form of cor
ruption. 1t is proposed to introduce
the popular vote system, under which
nominations shall be made by a direct
vote of the party masses. We have
repeatedly urged the advantages of this
method whenever it can be made prac-
ticable, because it is most in harmony
with our general republican system.
1t is the one way by which each party
voter is enabled to exercise the same
power as any other in the choice of a
candidate. But, unfortunately, it is
not free from corruption. That method
has been in use longer in Crawford
county than anywhere else, and it is q
notorious and indisputable fact that no
county in the state can show any such
record as Crawford for election de-
bauchery and crime. 1t has been de-
monstrated that men who are deter
mined upon making a profit out Of
election will find some way to work.
When they can no longer sell them
selves as delegates they will sell them
selves in some other capacity"
That the cry of "Stop, thief" is
sometimes raised for a hypocritical
purpose is no justification of theft.
Similarly, the effrontry of those who,
being themselves guiltiest, make loud
est outcry concerning the real or fan
cied political improprieties of others,
offers no excuse for the existence of
venal politics. 1t would be a cause for
personal and, indeed, for national
thanksgiving could the conditions
which have anywhere bred the will
ingness to strike up a barter in ballots
be completely and summarily cured.
But it is necessary to be prudent as
well as Jealous in approaching this
cure. Upon the advocate of the aboli-
ton Of nominating conventions rests
the burden of proving that the substi-
tuition which he suggests would i'm
prove, rather than simply modify the
form of, the money evil in politics.
Has this burden been satisfactorily
discharged? Is it yet certainty, by
any means, that in a county like our
own the net consequences of such a
change would be materially better?
fit be really desired to greatly re-
duce the prevalence of corrupt prac-
tices at and just prior to nominating
conventions, this can be done without
going to the round about alternative of
radical change in the party rules. To
the suggestion only of clean and re-
putable candidates add sufficient civic
interest in the primaries to insure the
selection, in the great majority of in
stances, of honest delegates. Then
have an understanding among the re.
putable party leaders that money for
illegitimate purposes shall not be ex-
pended, or that, If expended and
proved, exposure and punishment will
surely follow; set the forces of honesty

bituminous trade. Free coal would mean
an increased supply of the bituminous
product Anthracite would be undersold
and driven from the market, and the men
who dig it out Of the earth would be
forced into idleness. In voting against
free coal Mr.. Scranton acted for the best
interests OF the people he represented.
The vo ers of Lackawanna county under
stand this thoroughly, and will show thei
appreciation by electing Mr.. Scranton by
the largest majority he ever received.

evinced for his office, If not for its
temporary occupant.
The address of Commander-ip-C Chief
Adams before the Pittsburg Grand
Army encampment yesterday was
keen in its just criticisms and merci-
less in its manly resentment of an ex.
ecutive message which virtually
branded veterans as accessories to
frauds, but it did not forget the respect
due to the author of that message, in his
official capacity as chief magistrate.
The policy of this administration with
reference to pensions has not had the
approval Of the loyal citizenship of the
country. The policy has catered to
the prejudice of section once in armed
revolt; and the details of its adm inis-
tration have, in many instances, been
entrusted to the hands of men who
participated in that revolt and who
could scarcely be expected to overflow
with kindly feeling for the brave men
who had frustrated their once rebel
lious purposes.
But while this is true, our form OF
government admits of only one legal
means of redress. The permissible APP
peal is not to violence or passion, but
to the sovereign tribunal of the ballot
box. Indications are not wanting that
this appeal will be made, and that ii
will be effectual. 1t, therefore, is the
duty of veterans to be patient a little
longer. The time of vindication will
not be much further delayed. The
consciences of their countrymen can
not long be dulled. AS Commander
in.Chief Adams eloquently said, "The
loyal people of the land never believed
in the Union soldiers and sailors more
than they do today; and the politician
who thinks he will win favor by un-
der-rating them, or depriving them OF
what they are entitled to receive will,
in the near future, discover his mis-
take"

MONEY HONESTLY expended in a
durable paving is one of the best in
vestments that a city or its citizens
can make. Pine street is one of the
few handsome residence streets in the
central city that has thus far neglected
to pave. Now that a good pavement
is within easy reach, 1t would be a
misfortune were the chance to pass
unimproved.

The EFFORTS of certain Scranton
ians to ol ganize an oratorio society in
this city, for which purpose a mass
meeting has been called to assemble
this evening in the armory, deserve to
succeed. Long accustomed to work
ing for living, Scranton ought by this
time to be financially able to indulge,
with moderation, in some of the intel
lectual and artistic luxuries of life. 1t
must not be forgotten that all hustle
and no leisure would soon make young
America a crude and ignorant boy.

THAT WASN'T a bad coincidence
noted in the Maine returns, concerning
one town that went Republican for the
first time since 1861. The issues then
and now are different IN name and
manner of arbitrament rather than in
essential fact. The Maine rule of
voting as one fought is good enough
for all practical purposes even in Penn
sylvania.

For State Senator.

Attention is directed to the call in
another column for a convention of
Republicans representing the Twen-
tieth Senatorial district, to nominate a
candidate for the position now held by
a Democrat. The district primaries
will be held one week from next Sat
urday, at the same hours and in the
same places as were the recent county
Republican primaries; and the conven-
tion will meet on the ensuing Tuesday,
at il O'Clock a. M, in the arbitration
room In the court house. The basis of
representation will be the same as
heretofore; and it is particularly de-
,,sir red that the Luzerne county portion
the district shall be fully repre-
I'd.
e Importance of this convention
a. I'D not be underestimated. That
a district comprising the third largest
and most populous community in the
state should be represented at Harris
burg by man who lends the weight
Ofhis personal and political influence
to aid along the pernicious purposes of
modern Democracy is an anomaly
which should be corrected While it
is true that the domain of state legis.
lation does not cover tariff issues, it is
no less true that comfort cannot be ex-
tended to this industry-wrecking ad-
ministration in one place without
strengthening it all along the line.
The Twentieth senatorial district needs
the services of stanch Republican
at Harrisburg no less than the Eleventh
congressional district needs such SER
vices at Washington. The two needs
.cannot we'll be divorced. One is log
ically supplementary to and in sense
dependent upon the other.
There are bright and capable young
Republicans in this senatorial district
who would possess an influence with
the Republican state administration
certain to be chosen this fall, which
could not possibly be welded by a
Democrat. The convention one week
from next Tuesday will have the
naming of one of these. 1t is duty
which carries with 1t no small measure
of responsibility, and it is highly
essential, therefore, that there should
he free and frank expression of the
party will, both at primaries and in
convention, to the end that Scranton
and its vicinity may be adequately re-
presented in the state senate, by q man
of the peoples own choosing.

The NIalady Almost Exclusively Confined

1t is curious circumstance that hay
fever should be almost exclusively coDS,ned
to tho educated classes, but so it isH AS
an American writer humorously remarks:
The complaint is not met with in the
plebs the commune vulgus, hoi polloi, but
is patrician and aristocratiC, and occurs
mainly among those high in rank and So
cial position and eminent for mental and
literary attachments. WilliamAV of Eng
land, an English duke, Southey, the poet,
several learned divines, lawyers, medical
men and their wives, exmayors, bank
ers and ladies Of fashion are among the
select few on whom it bestowed its favor"
Farmers, who are Of necessity constant
ly exposed to the influence of pollen, rare
ly suffer from it. 1t Is difficult to ac-
count for this immunity. By some 1t has
been supposed that 1t Is owing to the alb
sence of the predisposition which mental
culture induces, while others think that
they are rendered insusoeptible to the &C.
ton of grasses by their constant exposure

there Is no doubt that an attack Of hay
asthma Is great trial Of faith and pa
thence, religion and philosophy, and enough
at times, as some one once said, ITO make
a man curse his mother aGd turn Turk, I"
II that be the ultima thul1lJf human tur-
pitude.
The great Daniel Webster secluded
himself every autumn at Mnrshf1eld to get
through his season of trial, with what pa
thence he could muster, and the distin-

vacated his pulpit for season from the
same cause, and certainly II ever preach
or had a good excuse for doing so 1t was
he. Preaching even such as his would
fail In Its effects II interrupted at inter
walls by succession of sonorous sneezes,
paroxysms of cough, and asthmatic utter
ance, and persistent aspersion Of eyes
and nostrils 1t would seem probable
that the condition of the nervous system
engendered by mental training is especial
ly favorable to the development of hay

The man who could bear with equa-
nimity the annoyances Of hay fever would
rival the fortitude of Guatemozin himself,
who, when stretched upon live Goals by
his brutal oonquerors, rebuked the COM
plainings Of his fellow sufferer by gently
reminding him that The, too, was not up
on bed of roses" The first attack often
begins in childhood and rarely occurs late
in life. The complaint appears to be more
frequent in men than in women, and there

The Power of a Voice.

Stories abound to illustrate the power
possessed by great speakers and actors to
stir the emotions by the tones Of the voice,
1t Is said of the elder Booth that he brought
tears to the eyes of a company upon one
occasion by the LAY in which he uttered
the opening worS, "Our Father" of the
Lords Prayer.
Whltefeld, 1t is said, could so utter the
word Mesopotamia as to startle his hearers
into tears. A story is told Of the great
Irish orator, O'Connell. An attack had
been made upon him in the house of COM
mons When O'Connell rose to reply, his
lofty brow was black with thunder and
his arm uplifted as II to strike. Then,
checking himself, he said:
"But Che gentleman says he loves Ire
land"
Lowering his tone to the rippling muir
muir of q summer brook, he continued,
IT have no words of bitterness or reproach
for any man who loves Ireland"
The pathos In the fragmentary utterance
of the last word brought tears to the eyes
of many veterans of the house.-LondoD

He Thought She whist1ed.

There was ludicrous incident in one
Of our street cars recently. A daintily
dressed gentlewoman tried to signal the
conductor to stop at the next corner She
stood up in her seat, waved her parasol
feebly, but made not the faintest sign of a
chirp, and consequently her attempts were
failures. She was just about to give up in
despair when o man behind her, who had
noticed her vain attempts, gave vent to a
whistle which rang out like a fog horn.
The conductor and half the passengers
looked up in amazement under the i'm
preston that she was the author Of the
unmelodious note, and as she left the car
the knight Of the bell punch murmured
audibly;
''Well, there amt no danger but what
she won't get left" The few passengers
who saw the whole performance are still
laughing every time they think Of the lu-
dicrous scene.-New York Advertiser.
