dency IN 1856 his success was due to the
claim that he was q northern man with
southern principles Now some Of the DEM
ocratic leaders are demanding as their
party's candidate for president next year
"A western man with the interest of the
south at heart The Republicans Will
next year be content, as usual, with n can
didate who Is a thorough going American

The Philadelphia Times figures out a
majority for Quay by giving him eight
votes in Luzerne and Lackawanna
counties. On such basis, 1t might as

The MIX in the Cocoanu,.

Philadelphia Press: 1T Is plain that Mr..
Quay can have no hope Of majority in
the convention without q far larger vote
from Philadelphia than any Intelligent
unprejudiced and rational survey Of the
Held would give him. This explains the
excessive and inOrdinafe claims which the
quay faction have made as to this city.
1t ts not possible for them to elect any
such tn number OF delegates In Philadelphia
They haven't the votes. The only way
,n which they could make any pretence
OF getting them Is to manufacture a lot
OF spurious contests In q number Of wards
where they have no real strength and then
to put these contestants upon a fictitious
regularly accredited delegates. This unde-
n.able truth eliminates both the extrava-
giant and unreasonable claims as to Phil
adelph'a and the extraordinary and un-
precedented movement to assemble the
state commatttee. 1t let's the light in upon
scheme. They get up a batch OF bogus
contests: they defy all rules and prece-
dents and call their state committee tools
together; they trample on the rlghtful au-
shortly or the chairman created and en-
they make up I false roll Of Their own:
they. enroll these bogus contestants in
stead Of the regular delegates; and they
attempt to organize and control the con-
yention on this fraudulent roll and through
these violent and anarch.al proceedings.
That Is the game. That explains the un-
due and unwarranked claims for Phila-
delph.a. That explains the resort to the
servlle state committee. The whole scheme
betrays weakness and defeat. It Is not
the course Of the conscious strength and
right to undertake irregular and lawiess
methods. But the game will not work.
The convention viii be organised and con-
Quoted In the regular. lawful and orderly
way. II Senator Quay and h,s partisans
have rightful majority, II will be recoR-
nised and accepted. II Governor Hast
ings and his friends have rightful ma.
Jority: as we believe they will have. II
must be and will be respected in the sam
way. and no fraudulent claims or violent
usurpat.on or bulldoxing methods will be
suffered TO- overturn Il and defeat the
popular WILL"

The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1895-08-20

Of the law must fall heavily upon the
recidivists. putting aside all sentiment
tality. especially II they have accom-
plices. "A man who Is not contented to
steal himself. but enlists others, IL more
dangerous. and must be treated with
out pity. Justice should undertake to
compensate the victims OF crime at the
expense OF the criminal. making him
work In order to pay the indemnity II
he ia not rich. 1t Is u blunder also.
when society has lost through the
crime. to compel It to lose still more for
at reform should be concentrated upon
occasional criminals. They are the
| only ones for whom much can be done.
They should be removed from all op-
portunlty by procuring them employ
ment and protecting them from the
mischlevous influence Of alcohol. not
only by prohibitory laws and fines
which are generally dead letter. but
by giving them mental amusement
which will satisfy that cerebral excite
ment that is gratified by alcohol. Above
all. the tendency to crime which APP
pears in infancy must not be allowed
to continue in youth and become
habitual."
This reads like common sense mes
sage; yet how differently are criminals
treated In this country! The theft of a
loaf of bread. inspired by hunger. UNI
der our laws ranks by the side Of de-
liberate betrayal OF trust on the part
of some pampered employe with every
comfort that might tend to Danish
temptation. And II the betrayal
amount to the hundred thousands. the
peculator becomes q respected Napo-
leon of finance, while the crazed thief
Of bite to eat Is "sent up" under our
humane system, for from thirty days
to half-doZen years. Our overcrowd-
ed jails, far from being hives of whole
some industry or schools of reform, are
centers of idleness and institutions for
the swift propagation of vice. Society
is taxed. first. for the apprehension and
arrest of the criminal: next, for his
trial and conviction. and lastly for this
putting of him into an atmosphere
where he not only remains an expense.
but learns to become an increased peril
to the community. Nothing Is more
certain. as most jails are today con-
Quoted. than that the surest way to in
crease crime is to multiply imprison-
merits.
Maybe the American people will one
day perceive the error of their course
in this direction. But we are not SAN
guine.

sKAkED TO DEATH.
Frank W. Bishop Of Wayne Drowned
While Skating Near Home.
Body Recovered But Hours OF Work Could
Not Restore LIE. I

Wayne, Dsc. 30.-(SpeoiaI. A very
sad accident occurred, Saturday after.
noon, about 5sP. NJ, by the drowning ol
Frank A. Bishop, the son of SW Bishop,
aged 16 years. He had been out with q
skating party on the upper pond or Pocas
sett lake.
AT about 5 o'clock P NJ. he took off his
skates and started for home. He walked
about 40 rods across the land to Andres
coggin lake, put on his skates and started
aross the head of the lake for home, and
skated into hole about 10 feet square,
and it is thought immediately sank.
Mr.. Coolidge was going home from the
village and saw him skate into the hole
He ran bacs. 10 the village and gave the
alarm. A pafsS started at once to his
rescue. 1t was about 90 or 30 minutes be-
fo;c the body was brought to the surface
Dr. Chenery and party OF willing
workers did everything to resusc;tate
him, both at the pond and at his home
working over him till T. 80, but life was ex
tinct.
He was promising boy and a member
Of the Methodist church OF Wayne.

WILL PROVE MURDER.
Almost Certain that Rose Do||ey Of
Portland, as the Principal,
And Mother as Accessory, Will Be Convicted
Of Formers Child's Murder.

Portland, Me-, Dec. 3o.-Tho remains
OF Rose Dolleys baby, which was found
in the ice in the woods at Prides Bridge,
yesterday, where i5 had been placed by
its mother, after she had probably stran-
gled it, is now at Richs undertaking
room.
Officers are reticent as to what has been
done toward establishing its identity,
beyond a legal doubt but it Is under
stood that all tho links in the chain of
evidence are now complete and that the
fact has been fully established that this
Is really the body of the murdered child,
so that it can be proved in court
1t Is probable that Rose Dolley will now
make complete Der confession of murder,
she has not yet done so, and probably
will not unless SO advised oy her counsel
1t Is reasonably sure that her mother
will be implicated as an accessory before
the fact, by the confession of her daugh-
ter.e.s !.
Before the discovery of the baby it was
thought THAI the. .Rovernmont.would have
hard work tG convict either Rose on her
mother, since. their counsel was busy in
their behalf, i butt this discovery OF the
body puts conviction beyond any doubt.
/, The case viii .coine before the grand
jury during the next twoweeEs, and the
1ndictment, which will ,Nuohbtedly re-
snlt, Will be prosecuted at tho January
term ofscourt.
