The friends Of Judge Stewart, OF
Chambersburg. seem to feel confident
that Mr.. Stewart will be named by the
state convention for Superior court
judgeship In place Of George b. Orlady.
Of Huntington; but It is our belief that
Judge Stewart himself would spurn a
nomination forced at the expense of one
of the governors appointees.

POLITICAL BRIEFS.

The Tribune Is not grieved beyond hope
on account of the elections in Susque-
hanna county. The Tribune has planted
the good seed in that county and the har-
vest will come In due season.

Gubernatorial booms are not worrying
Mr.. William Connell, but he could not fail
to be pleased to know that so many Demo-

contemporaries that he would make a
very good governor.

Mccarthy himself became a convert long
ago and was Hastings man.

Mr.. Whitehouse, n somewhat prominent
Schuylkin statesman, Indignantly denies

Wilkes-Barre Record: Robert Scran-

Fifth district trying his unframed hand
In Quay's interest. For a man who got

eight out Of a possible nine Is very

The Luzerne Judgeshlp.

The Republicans Of Luzerne yester-
day nominated Lyman Hakes Bennett
for Judge to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation Of Judge Charles Z.
Rice. Several years ago MIR. Bennett
was nominated for the same office, but
was defeated by Judge Lynch. Among
the attorneys at the Uuzerne bar at this
time there is admittedly no man better
qualified for a seat on the common
pleas bench than Mr.. Bennett. He pos
sesses in large measure the qualities
that gave Judge Rice the high rank
he has attained. Mr.. Bennett has
strong competitor in William 8. Nc
Lean, the Democratic nominee, but
there ought to be no reasonable doubt
of the election of the former. The two
Judges now in commission in Luzerne
are Democrats, and the Republicans
feel that their rpoliticalopponents should
have conceded at least one OF the three
Judges to them without q contest, es-
pecially in view of the non-partisan rec
ord Of the Republicans in judiciary
elections in former years. On at least
three occasions they either endorsed
Democratic candidates for Judge or
made no nominal ations against them, the
more recent case being that Of four
years ago when Judge Woodward was
not opposed for reelection. Mr.. Nc
lean is an excellent man and would
make an honorable and able Judge. but
he ought not to be elected at a time
when his success would give Luzerne a
full bench Of Democrats. Mr.. Mclean
should have waited until the term of
one Of the Democrats expires. The
Tribune confidently predicts the cleo
ton OF Lyman Hakes Bennett.

or In their drives and sports. Even the
fashionable and society-bred young men
are getting to despise the dress coat In
summer. The girls have been forced to
accommodate themselves to the tastes
Of the men. They had no choice between
that and isolation. In order to hake them
selves fit and comfortable companions and
comrades of the men they have taken up
mems amusements: they have learned
tennis, mastered the wheel boone pro-
ficient In boating, have devoted them
selves to. golf-they have. In fact, done
everything they could In decency to be
near the young men, to maintain the re-
lations of intimacy and cordially which
are theirs by right Of their sex, their
sweetness and lovellness, and which
should be pressed upon them instead OF
being sought at their hands.
"Why. II this tendency increases. the
first thing we know the young women will
be compelled to make proposals OF mar
riage or remain forever single. They have
come dangerously near it already. The
half concealed seeking. the management,
the tact. the ingenuity. the leading. are
now all In the hands OF the girls and their
mothers. Nothing remains but for them
to seize n fitting moment, to kneel at the
young mans feet, declare undying love,
and propose matrimony. 1t makes my
heart sink within me to hear girls tele-
phoning for young men, begging for their
company at tennis, or in a drive, or ont
boating-mere devices and preteXts for
getting at the young man himself. 1t
makes me sadder still to hear the remarks
which young men make on receiving these
summons. oh, / suppose l Will have to

do not complain because they have been
forced to take to these amusements in
order to protect themselves against abso-
lutte neglect. The girls are just as sweet
and lovely as they ever We're. They are
meeting the new social conditions with as

are possible under the circumstances. The

From Acid to Honey,

After trying, without avail, the tao
tics of abuse. during which period no
previous governor has been treated to
the vituperation poured out upon Gov
ernor Hastings. the Quay shouters have
apparently received orders to try a new
trick. They are now, with surprising
unanimity, calling to General Hastings,
with Establishment and compliment to
desert the men who promptly ranged
themselves beside him in his battle for
fair play. and are urging him to get out
Of the field while Senator Quay, to use
his own words. wipes up the floor"
with Magee and Martin.
The artifice would be clever, If 1t were
not so readily transparent. The sena
tor. in pursuing his plan Of trying to
"pull one Of the triumvirs of the Com
bine out" first approached David Mar
tin, which, however inconsistent with
his past denunciation Of Martin. would
have been shrewd politics. as Quay
politics goes, had the senator moved
with sufficient circumspection to avoid
publicity in the premises. AS 1t was,
the overture not only failed, but the
fact of its failure has become public,
and this ought to fortify Governor
Hastings, as 1t undoubtedly will,
against any effort by the senator to
include him In similar programme.
1t is too early to predict whether Mr..
Quay will subject himself to the further
humiliation of third rebuff by finally
making propositions to Mr.. Magee.
That he would dare the hazard IL he
deemed the prospect OF success suf-
ficient to justify 1t there can be no
doubt. The senator is manifestly des-
perate. The battle has become one of
life or death with him. He no longer
Is fighting to punish the governor and
to exterminate David Martin. The
issue now Is the protection Of his own
scalp; which will add zeal and energy
to his already earnest campaign.
Hence the Transformation in his or
gans Of the acid Of gubernatorial abuse
to the honey Of homage and compli-
ment.
But, as we have said, the trick will
not work, because it is too transparent.

WATERWORKS ASSURED.
The Griswold Spring Plan not Beyond Our
Means

means.
Lancaster viii have waterworks
The work of construction will begin
with the least DELAY consistent with
careful and economical management.
The developments Of the last few
days have shown that the estimates
made some months ago as to the cost
of plant are substantially correct
when the increase in the price of mat
erial Is taken into consideration and
the council believe the funds at their
disposal sufficient to warrant their
putting in the system.
Bids for waterworks were opened
last Saturday. About twenty were
received but there were only two or
three on the whole system. The low
est bid for the entire plant as speci-
lied was between thirty-two and
thirty-three thousand dollars. But
on many items this bid was high
er than some of the others. Bv a
judicious discrimination in awarding
the contracts the plant can be con-
strueted for less than thirty thousand
dollars.
The gentlemen here offering bids,
many of them men OF extended
experience in waterworks con-
struction, are unanimous in the opin-
ion that the plan under consideration
is decidedly the best one available for
this city. The city council have
made extended investigations as to the
comparative expense of operating, and
the probability of satisfactory service
from the spring or from deep well.
The opinions OF expert waterworks
men, the advice Of j. p. Miller Of Chi
cago and other Artesian well men,
and their own observations of numer-
Gus works OF both kinds convince the
council that it would be the height OF
folly TO abandon the Griswold spring
for the uncertainty of an artesian well.
Accordingly the pIelininaries for
the Griswold spring system are being
made as fast as possible and by the
time snow flies we NAV expect the
construction well under way if not
completed.
