Don't Get Angry.

Having presented as yet, no better
public reason for the election of its
candidate for judge than the assertion
that he served fractional part Of one
year, through gubernatorial appoint
ment, without discredit to himself and
was, at his first appeal to the people,
promptly defeated for that office, our
esteemed contemporary, the Truth, re-
sorts to that convenient form of escape
indicated in vigorous inslstence upon
the purity and unselfshness of its own
motives, just as If these had yet been
challenged! 1t will be time for the
Truth to handy epithets when its integ-
rity has been called into question.
There is an adage which says in eff
feet that q consciousness Of guilt often
leads to a frantic protestation Of inno-
cence before any accusation has been
made. We will not use this adage in
the present discussion, for the reason
Sat we have not yet impugned, much

Candidate Singerly's Visit.

The presence in Scranton tonight of
the Democratic candidate for governor
will doubtless be the signal for con-
centrated outburst of the spoils-hunt-
ing enthusiasm of those Democrats in
this vicinity who yet put personal
preferment above the general prosper
ity; and regard with Indifference any
public economic misfortune so long as
they are retained in fat positions at the
public expense. These hurrah-boys Of
the free trade opposition have had no
previous opportunity to exhibit them
selves; and the present one will there
fore no doubt be seized with all the
avidity of long-pent-up eagerness.
So far, however as the candidate
himself is concerned, we bespeak for
him a courteous reception and an hon
est hearing. There is one thing to be
said of William M. Singerly, politics or
no politics, and it is a considerable
tribute to man with his partisan af-
filiations: He is sincere in his beliefs
and uncommonly frank in their express
sion. Should he, by any chance, be
elected governor, this commonwealth
would have nothing to apologize for in
the direction of his personal character
istics. His election, in political sense,
would be great misfortune; in an
economic sense it would be a signal to
the tariff wreckers at Washington to
proceed with their ruinous agitation
and panic-breeding demolition of
American industries; but in a personal
sense it would escape even the most
virulent criticism of opposing partisan
extremists.
The question now before the people
of Lackawanna county is not, however,
one of personal merit or demerit. It is
the question whether the business con-
ditions of the past two years shall be
prolonged through q second vote of
public confidence in the Democracy
which made those conditions possible;
or whether they shall be corrected, so
far as is possible through an emphatic
notification by the people that they
have had enough nonsense, enough
reckless experiment, enough virulent
sectionalism and enough general busi-
ness prostration and private and pub
lie loss. This is the question now be-
fore our people. Hear what Mr.. Sing
erly has to say with reference to it, If
so you should desire, but do not forget
that the party which two years ago so
eloquently promised prosperity gave
us nothing but panic and ruin; and do
not be second time buncoed by a now
transparent confidence game.

less suspected, the Truths motives in
supporting Judge p. p. Smith. We have
sought to procure from our estimable
afternoon contemporary some real and
water-tight reason why Judge Archibald
should be degraded after decades
faithful and brilliant service, so that
his once-rejected Democratic competi-
tor might again climb into office. That
effort failing. and the Truth showing in
cipient symptoms of impatience, we
very naturally assumed that 1t did
not wish to be too closely beset with
questions in the premises" There eX-
lists in this phrase. to the unbiased mind,
no ulterior reflection or reproach, and
the Truths indignant declaration of
its own virtue is the first intimation we
have had that we had been guilty Of
a hidden meaning.
Laying aside, however this minor is
sue, we beg to remind our excellent
neighbor that it has not yet given a
rational explanation why Hon. P. p.
Smith should be put back on bench
which is so satisfactorily filed by the
learned gentleman who is the unani-
mously-chosen Republican nominee for
reelection. The Truth thinks one term
is enough for any judge, for the reason
that longer service tends to make
him dependent con the machinery of
politics for reelection" Does the
Truth mean to imply that Hon. P. p.
Smith is Independent of 1.-THE machin-
cry of politics" in this campaign?
Does it wish to suggest that he has
had little or no part in the formation of
Democratic machine" in this county,
which is now industriously working in
his behalf?
The Tribune has no wish to engage
in rhetorical war with the Truth, al
though it is prepared to maintain its
position against any antagonist. 1t sim
ply wishes, in this connection, to bring
clearly before the voters of LaclSa-
wanna county the real reasons why
there is present opposition to Hon. r.
w. Archbald's reelection. In that de-
sire we shall expect aid, not epithets,
from the honest Truth.

superb hotels as a result of the anxiety
OF the citizens to foster the growth of
their town. 1t came about In this way,
business was dull, and the merchants
decided that one of the reasons why peo-
pie fled from the town was because the
hotel accommodation was poor. At a
meeting held enough money was at once
subscribed to erect a magnificent hotel,
and while the building was in progress,
the wealthy proprietor OF another house
decided to entirely rebuild his property.
Both hotels are now controlling the trav-
cling mems trade in the LaclSawanna val
ley, and Scranton, the metropolis of that
section, has been forced to get on very
lively spirit In order to meet the competi-
ton. Now Scranton has palatial hotel

MEMORIES IN TAN.

How dear to my heart are the memories
As | sit by the fire this drear autumn
day,
The hotel, the band, with the little fat
drummer
And the lake declSed at sunset with
colors so gay.
The wlde-spreadlng lawn and the sand
walks which bound it,
The old phonograph and the brave pop
His basket, his apron with the red braid
around it,
But above all, beyond ALL those shoes
made of tan.
Those tan-colored shoelets,
Those long-pointed shoelets,
Those Roman-toed shoelets,
Those shoes made of tan.
How fast beat my heart the first time
saw them,
Spread out DER a part Of the wide
reaching lawn,
Where Is the artist whose pencil could
draw them,
Or canvass sufficient to hold them when
Now one of those shoeets stands here by
my fender,
And how oft through the day its dear
beauties ] scan,
And each time my heart 1t blesseth the
sender
To me of that present-that shoe made
of tan.
That tan-colored shoelet,
That pansy-decked shoelet,
That 1S-inch shoelet,
Describe 1t, who can.

Who Is the Liar?

1t becomes our happy duty to chron-
icle the collapse Of another fond hope
Of the Honorable Michael Turnover
Burke. In the Carbondale Leader of
last Friday appeared this card:
To the editor of the Leader.-At the re-
quest of Hon. NJ. r. Burke, who was ac-
cused in the public square on last Tues
day afternoon of voting against the
Free Textbook Bill" we have exam
ined the legislative records to ascertain
the facts as there recorded, and give to
the public the truth as to Mr. Burke's
vote on said bill. The record shows that
the bill came to second reading on March
1G, 1893. An amendment was Offered on
that day to increase the possible school
tax three mills. This amendment Mr.
Burke says he opposed which gave the
right to school directors to increase the
rate of taxation. On the passage Of the
bill in the house, Mr. Burke voted in the
affirmative (March %, 1893, page 1905 of
the Legislative Record. On its return
from the senate, amended, Mr.. Burke
again voted in it's favor. May o. 1888,
page 2,14D. From the examination of the
records, 1t is evident that Mr.. Burke
to the amendment to increase the TAXA
ton. This examination is made without
any political bias, or intention to favor
any party, but merely to state the truth
as the records show of the vote of our
representative.

Our attention has been called further

Free Textbook Bill" Last week we
stated the facts as the Legislative Record
gives the votes, sharing the popular i'm
preston that the Record is correct. We
have inspected the House Journal, the Of
fetal and authentic report, which reveals
that Mr. Burke voted in the negative on
final reading (House Journal, page S64
March 2S. 1888. A comparison of the Jour-
in some way the votes on two different
bills were transposed in the Record The
official report therefore, presents Mr..
Burke as opposing the bill by his vote.
This is corroborated by the Carbondale
Herald interview of April l, 1893, and by
the fact that the last speech given in the
Legislative Record before the taking Of
the final vote was a vigorous one by Mr..
Burke against the bill. Both Journal and
Record agree in showing his affirmative
vote on it's return from the senate,
