Supreme Court Relief.

The method Of relief for our over
crowded supreme court, embodied in a
measure to be presented at the State
Bar association at Harrisburg tomor-
row, and, If indorsed by that body, to
be urged upon the Legislature, appears
from lay viewpoint, to be well
planned. 1t is proposed to establish six
circuit courts of appeal, without origi-
nal jurisdiction and compromising
present common pleas judges; but af-
fordng in its concentrated wisdom n
considerable barrier against ultimate
appeal. Should this measure become a
law, Lackawanna county would form
pant of the Fourth district, together
with Lycoming, Union, Snyder, Mifilip,
Montour, Columbia, Luzerne, Wyon-
ing, Wayne, Pike, Bradford, Susque-
hanna and Northumberland This dis
trict would comprise thirteen judges, Of
whom one would by gubernatorial ap-
.pointment become presiding Judge at
an increased salary; but the measure
provides that not more than seven
nor less than five judges shall sit as a
court of appeal; and no judge can sit in
the trial of a case which came before
him on its original trial.
Once each year the full bench shall
meet, to choose the seven judges who
shall constitute the appellate court in
each county and to designate when
such court shall sit, the selection of
these matters to be left to the presid-
6ng judge of the circuit, and the two
president judges of the common pleas
courts who may be oldest in continuous
service, or by majority of these three.
The seven judges thus designated shall
mold two sessions each year in each
county in the circuit, provided there is
business for two sessions; each county
to furnish accommodations and facili-
ties. In cases affecting the county in
which the court meets, the officials
of the county court shall be likewise the
officials of the circuit court which Is
clothed with adequate powers to COM
pei the attendance of witnesses and the
like. This appellate courts decision
shall be final in all except seven classes
of cases, as follows:
(0 All civil proceedings Of any kind or
suits for penalties begun before a justice
Of the peace or magistrate or alderman
unless the attorney general appears there
in in his official capacity.
(b) All proceedings of any kind In the
court of quarter sessions, but mo- appeal
from sentence upon an indictment In
said court may be taken unless II has been
specially allowed by Judge of the proper
circuit court.
(c) All proceedings of any kind in the
court of oyer and terminer and general
jail delivery, except cases of felonious
homicide, which shall be appealed d.
rectly to the supreme court.
(d) All actions in the common pleas to

Accepts Lyttle's Charges as True.

Erie Dispatch: THE free school book
law is a wise and beneficent one; 1t gives
the children of the poor. equal advantages
with those of the rich, in the matter of
text books for use in the public schools.
So far as the school children are con-
cerned, the law is all right. So far as the
taxpayers are concerned ii is largely
wrong. 1t is a bloodsucker of a law. 1t
has apparently fallen into the hands OF
the book trust, which word is beginning
to be synonymous with eXtortion."

News Via Milwaukee.

Milwaukee Wisconsin: '"This local rev.
olution in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania
is of considerably more than local inn
portance, because it will probably involve
the downfall of two United States sena-
tors, one of whom has had his eye upon
the presidency. Not only the political ca
| reer of Quay, but also that of Don Cam
eron, is declared to have been absolutely
terminated by the Porter Martin revolt"

To Protect pheasants.

Wilkes-Barr Times: "a meeting of the
LuZerne County Sportsmen's club will be
held on Tuesday evening next to revise
the game laws for the better protection OF
pheasants. Every man who has gunned
during the past five years knows how
necessary 1t is to protect these birds If he
hopes to keep them from total extermina-
ion He knows from experience that they
are growing scarcer every year, and that
the time has arrived when some vigor-
Gus step should be taken on behalf of the
favorite of all wild game. The principal
reason why the local forests are rapidly
being depleted Is that In the mountains
between this city and Wyalusing there
are no less than fifteen market gunners,
each of whom kill on an average about 900
birds, or In all about 1900 during the sea-
son. The number does not include numer-
Gus other hunters of whom no record Is
kept. The Sportsmen's club propose COM
bining their efforts in securing the pass
age of n law prohibiting the shipping of
ruiIied grouse out of the state of Penn
sylvania and also prohibiting their sale in
market for period of five years"

How to Have Short Session.

Philadelphia Press: "If instead of TAX
ing prompt and business-like course, the
house committee on appropriations is to
be divided up into junketng parties and
go over the state visiting all sorts
OF institutions, eating all sorts of
free lunches and drinking all sorts of free
liquors, the work is going to be delayed
and any attempt to shorten the session
will be frustrated. Such has been the
practice of the committee in recent years.
At time when the members ought to
have been at the capitol they We're scat
tered over the state In assorted parties
ostensibly inquiring into the merits Of
certain institutions asking for appropria-
tions. Their absence not only prevents
progress with the work Of their particu-
lar committee. but 1t often interferes with
the disposition of other legislation In
which these members may be Interested,
and which Is held back out of courtesy to
them when they are away. This is a good
time to end these junkets."

Governor Pattison will retire from

ones. No breath of scandal has tainted
his administration; his influence has
seldom been withheld from enterprises
designed to better society and morals
and there has been, lin his treatment
of subordinates. marked dignity and
true gentllity. His gravest fault has
