COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
Reform tho Man Also

Carbondale Herald: During the past
Few years reformers have devoted mucn
time to what they call the social evil.
All their efforts have been futile although
the various committees and boards have
worked with unrem.tting zeal. They st.ll
are graphing with the question, still hold
ing meetings. still discussing methods,
and still sending out missionaries to work
among the fallen women OF the cities.
one committee In Chicago thought they
had made 4 great advance when they
had representatives at the railroad sta
tons TO meet and protect young girls ar
riNng in the city. Ii i'll becomes anyone
To laugh at the efforts of these good men
and women toiling for the advancement
of the race. but their work seems like an
attempt to drain the ocean with a shell.
II is doubtful II the world will ever be a
whit better in this respect than ii now is.
Rut one thing is assured; that If ad-
vancement is to be made reformation
must commence. not with the fallen wo-
men, but with the men whose patronage
supports the evil And this reformation
VIII not be brought about by any system.

Good American Doctrine.

From the Platform of the New York Re-
publican League: I'VE heartily commend
the action of the police authorities Of
New York city in closing the saloons on
sunday, and note with pleasure that the
which they promise to obey the law and
assist in its enforcement, have shown
more good sense and honesty than the
newspapers and public men who have
counseled against obedience to law and or
der by inveishing against public officials
for doing their sworn duty. The question
of open saloons on Sunday is not a polit-
ical question. but Is one, the determ.na-
tion of which will, to a large extent.
measure the moral tone of the Empire
state. We believe in the American Sum
day and that the traditions of the Repub-
lcan party favor the preservation of all
those conditions and principles calculated
to bring peace prosperity and happiness
to the masses Of the people"

The Democratic Convention.

This week the Democrats Of Penn
sylvania will meet in state convention
at Willamsport to nominate their state
ticket and adopt platform. The
leaders have decreed that full ticket
for judges of the Superior court shall
be nominated. and as a consequence a
swarm of aspirants has appeared in
the field, representing every section OF
the state. This Is accounted for by the
fact that one of the six will be elected.
Each hopes to be the lucky one, hence
the unseemly scramble for places on
the ticket.
When Governor Hastings appointed
the seven judges he selected a prom
inent Philadelphia attorney named
Mccarthy as the Democratic member
of the court. All the other aspirants
for nominations are demanding that
Judge Mccarthy be defeated In the
convention. They claim that being al
ready on tho bench he would have some
advantage over his colleagues on the
ticket. Nothing Is alleged against
Judge McCarthy's fitness, nor against
his Democracy. If the programme is
carried out and Judge Mccarthy de-
feated in the convention. there will be
a lively slashing of the Democratic can
didates. With six nominees on the
ticket the friends of each will try to
place their favorite in the lead by
scratching the names OF the other five.
This ought to and will add very ma
terially to the majority of the Re-
publican candidates. The notion enter
tained by some of the Democratic or
gans that there is chance for the
judge of the Superior court is all nom
sense; the six present Republican
judges will be elected by large major
tiles because practically all Republi-
cans will vote the whole ticket.
There are no dissensions in the Re-
publican party. The utmost harmony
prevails throughout the state and all
Republicans are interested in making
the best possible record preceding the
more important national elections next
year. 1t Is said Harrity will make an
effort to save Judge Mccarthy, but it is
not certain he will succeed. 1t Is ex-
pected that either Lackawanna or Lu-
zerne will capture one of the places on
the ticket. The former will present
the name Of Judge Smith, and the lat
ter that Of Asa r. Brundage. AS be-
tween the two the influence of Harrity
will naturally be for Smith, and conse-
quently Smith will defeat Brundage in
the convention.
The platform to be adopted will, of
course, be Democratic" from begin
ming to end. 1t will have to be ingen-
iously drawn, however, to harmonize
the conflicting elements in the party.
1t will, of course, endorse the Cleve-
land administration and Cleveland's 8
financial views. Perhaps the platform
makers will not denounce Senator
Quay this year in view Of the fact
that the entire Democratic press of the
state stood by him so nobly in his late
battle for party leadership. 1t would
be in decidedly bad taste for the con-
vention to take the regulation fling at
Quayism after the press Of the Demo-
cracy made such a lively fight for him
only a few weeks ago. The conven-
ton at Willamsport this week is an in
teresting event, Of course, but 1t is Of
very little importance.

There Arc Too MANY I0WycrS.

Chicago Record: Litigation begets
lawyers. and in modern litigation there is
altogether too much waste of time and
energy. The strain on public patience
comes in the cost entailed to the litigant,
and above all to the lit.gant who is
poor. The wealthy man employs his law
yer by the year, and Is amply able to
carry every case as far as the courts will
take II. The poor man too often has to
witness the defeat of his case simply be-
cause his means will not endure the drain
of prolonged suits. And until they are
remed.ed through the reform Of court pro-
cedure these abuses will continue"

twill be welcomed by every practical
politician, and If the influence Of money
can be eliminated from politics it will
prove an acceptable departure all
around" Politics. from the standpoint
OF old veterans like Mr.. Clarkson, is a
game in which the corrupt use of
money Is one of the dullest ways of
winning. To be sure, each side has to
keep its end up; but the real skill is not
in the wagering but in the playing: and

that ''something black without a

CORN is SAFE.
Will be An Abundant Crop If There Is Not
Another Drop of Rain.

Will be An Abundant Crop If There Is Not
Another Drop OF Rain.
Corn will assume its old title of
king of American crops this year.
We have had some enormous crops
in the past, but the largest of
all. that of 1891, it is claimed, will
be surpassed by the one now in the
field. That. at least, is the way
things look at present. Never be-
fore in the history of the country has
this cereal looked more promising in
July. Rain may beat whole fields of
it down. Floods and winds NAV do
a great deal of damage in localities,
and chinch bugs may have reduced
the yield here and there. Drought,
also. may have effect, but making
due allowance for all probable losses
from these and other causes we can
hardly fail to produce more corn
than we ever did before from a single
years crop.
No More Rain Needed.
IF we do not have another drop of
rain this season the corn crop is
safe," said William Parks, who drove
into Rock Island from Edgington
this morning. more rain will not
do any harm, if it continues to come
in moderate quantities. but as far as
drouth is concerned, the yellow grain
is out of danger. A splendid crop is
assured. 1t will be abundant in
yield. as good as we have ever had,
and all right in quality.
1--WE had a good drenching rain
last night out in the country, but not
as much wind, / judge from what l
saw this morning coming in, as you
had in town. The farmers are feel
ing fine, and the prospect is the best
possible"
