The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1894-12-28
An Unworthy Argument.

Our usually dlgnified contemporary
the Philadelphia Press, in speaking Of
the proposition to create new judge
ship in this county, steps aside from
its accustomed fairness and descends
to sarcasm. This is the result: Lack
awanna wants another judge, This was
to have been anticipated. Luzerne
county has four including its orphans
court judge, and it would have been too
much to expect Lackawanna to be very
long cOntented to put up with one judge
less than her big neighbor. Lacka-
wanna bases her claim, however, on the
amount of litigation reaching her
courts, which it is presumed does not
come up anywhere else"
This is the first time that Luzerne
county has been introduced into this
discussion. The people of Lackawanna
county, however, do not need to cite
the number of judges in neighboring
county i'm order to make out n case for
themselves. 1t is amply sufficient to
lay down the single proposition that
when their courts, with three judges
working steadily, cannot keep pace
with the constantly enlarging volume
of business entered upon the dockets of
those courts it is time to increase the
number of judges 1t Is a safe presump-
ton that the amount of litigation
reaching our courts does not come up
anywhere else" If it only could be
shunted over upon the half-flled dock
cts of some Of the more orderly rural
counties, Lackawanna would, perhaps,
not need fourth Judge Unfortunately
for this solution of the problem, litiga-
ton arising in Lackawanna county
must be tried in Lackawanna county;
hence If three judges cannot try it with
out falling behind, it is fair and proper
to call for a fourth judge to help the
three present judges out.
The Philadelphia Press would appear
to better advantage in this discussion
If it would be more willing to accord
to the people of Lackawanna county a
reasonable discretion in the discern
| ment of their own needs. We are quite
certain that, were the tables reversed,
the Press would resent an attempt on
the part of Scranton to oppose an in
crease in the number of common pleas
judges needed to administer justice
properly in Philadelphia.

opposition was recently exhibited dur
ing the Pittston campaign for a city
charter. There Is no reason in logic
why liquor license in a large borough
should cost one-half less than a similar
license in small city.

Not in That Business.

From the Washington Post.
The Philadelphia Times calls on Mr..
Reed to help the Democrats out of their
financial difficulty. The Times ought to-
understand that Mr.. Reed has never
posed as n member of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Democrats.

Councilmen Battle and Sweeney, dur
ing the consideration of those bridge
contracts, displayed great skill as fill
busterers, and yet they were not able to
block these much-needed improvements.

In fond memory of little Edmonia, b,
loved daughter of l.. G.. and M. A. Gard
ner, who died on July 8, 1894, aged ni
months and seven days.
Mournfully We watched by her crib all nigl.
Waiting and watching for the morning ligh
Anxiously we watched, but all in vain,
For the light never shone from her eye
again.
The little empty crib,
The face so often kissed,
The hours OF watchful care
Forever and ever missed.
Our dear baby, must she leave us2
Must We place her with the dead
How can we hear the cold earth TALL,
Down on our darling's heads
Fold those little waxen fingers
Across the cold and snowy breast,
Softly close the dropping eyelids,
Little Edmonia is at rest.
On the downy coffin pillow
Lay that little head in peace,
Lay our little darling gently
In her lonely resting place.
Place one kiss upon her forehead,
Gently close those sweet blue eyes,
q DO not weep, she's only sleeping,
You will meet her in the skies.
Farewell, dear baby, thou hast left us
In this weary, weary world Of woe,
Oh how hard it was to see
Our little darling go.
Farewell, Edmonia, little loved one,
God has taken you above,
From THE painful world of sorrow
To that world of endless love.
