COMMENT OF THE PRESS.

Cleveland Leader: "The reduction Of
wages which began In 1892 and continued
through 1893 and 1891, amounted. on the
average, to 20 per cent, as has been proved
by thorough investigation. The actual
losses to labor by these reductions during
the two years and a half were at least a
billion dollars, an average of 500 for each
Of the five million workers, or about $50
year. The average advance OF 10 per cent.
received by 100000 workers means a restor-
alton of about half the loss. or $40 n year.
For the half year since last April the re-
storation has amounted to $40. For the
100000 who have received the increase Of
10 per cent the restoration amounts to ST.
0O0 600. In brief but $4,000 900 of the 81. .00p.-
100000 lost during the Democratic panic
has been restored to labor. But 200, 900 per-
sons have been benefited by that restora.
tion. Four million eight hundred thou
sand workers are still waiting for the re-
storation of IL loss of 1896. 100000. That Is
the length and breadth of the benefit
which the working people of the United
States have received from the WILSON,
German law. and 1t doesn't seem to be
much to brag about"

The Fight in Luzerne.

The Republicans of Luzerne are at
last fully aroused to the importance
of making a determined battle for the
defeat of the Democrats in their greed
to capture the entire common pleas
bench Of that county. The Democratic
leaders are becoming alarmed at the
large number of conservative men in
their own party who are opposed to a
partisan judiciary. Judge Bennett, the
Republican nominee, is an ideal nom
partisan. During all the years he has
resided in Luzerne county he has never
taken an active part IN partisan CAM
paigns He has steadfastly adhered to
the Republican party, and voted the
ticket Of that party, but has abstained
from participation in conventions and
all mere partisan contests.
He was nominated for Judge by the
Republicans, not as q recognition Of
service rendered to that party, but sole
ly on account of his eminent fitness
for the judiciary. His defeat when he
was a candidate for judge few years
ago was due to peculiar political condi-
tions which do not now exist. The Re-
publicans of Luzerne are heartily unit
ed in their support Of Judge Bennett,
and they are being quietly but effective
ly aided by large body Of conserva-
tive Democrats. who believe in the
great principle Of q non-partisan judic-
Aary.

TRUE AMEhICANlSM.
Senator Burrows, at Chicago.

II .,N-l
"eh"'or pufro"s' at ohicaso'
The great problems of today, important
ana far-reacning as they may be, appeal
FOR their solution 10 no section, class or
condition. They are as broad as the ma
ton, and We have but to bring to their
cons Liberation the high spirit OF true Amer
icanism to insure their settlement upon IL
wise and enduring basis. Ana touching
these questions what may l ask, does
true Americanism demand.
-
1t demands an industrial policy which
shall be intensely American. 1t demands
u policy which shall insure the fullest Dos
sible development Of all our resources and
tho largest attainable employment for all
our people. 1t demands the restoration
workmen. 1t demands that the American
market shall be preserved to the American
purchaser, and that he shall at least he
given an equal chance in his own mark t
with his foreign rival 1t demands a tar
iff, not for revenue only, but such rate
of duty as will yield sufficient revenue for
the support Of the government, and shall
at the same time be so adjusted as to pro-
tect, maintain and diversity American in
dustries and give employment to Ameri-
can labor. True Americanism suggests
that If any mills must be shut down they
shall not be our own that If any labor Is
out of employment it shall be foreign la
Dor and not American labor True Amer
icanism demands that the American mar
ket shall be open to the free importation
of all articles of luxuries the like of which
We do not or cannot produce, while i'm
posing sufficient duties on articles we do
not produce, to measure the difference in
the cost Of production at home and abroad.
1t demands that when foreign competing
products enter our markets Il shall be ON
the level of the American wage and Amer
lean home. We will permit foreigners to
compete with us in our own market on
our level, but will never consent to be
dragged down to theirs. In a word. true
Americanism demands that this nation
shall resume Its place In the van Of the in
dustrial nations of the world and march
unimpeded on in the course of its high
destiny.
-:--:-
True Americanism also demands a finan-
cial system, whatever 1t may be In its de-
tails, that shall not impair the public
credit or impeach the public faith. 1t
cannot be adjusted in the interest of any
state or section of the country. 1t Is
national question, demanding the broad
est national treatment True American
ism takes unbounded pride in the integrity
of the nation and in the reflection that
the republic never yet repudiated dollar
of its obligations or broke faith with
single creditor. Our financial standing
must be maintained, and true American
ism demands that every dollar issued by
this government, whether OF gold. silver or
paper, shall. in its purchasing and debt-
paying power. be the equivalent of every
other dollar and second to none among
the nations Of the earth.

One Of the expedients said to be under

forms of commercial paper. Such a

The Superior Court Act.

There need be no anxiety or concern
on account of the pending decision in
the matter of the Superior court act.
The opinion of the Dauphin county
court decides nothing and is only pre-
liminary step to bringing the matter
before the court of last resort. Whether
that court decides that voters may cast
a ballot for seven candidates or only
six will not be likely to materially af-
feet the result of the election. The Re-
publicans will not in any event have
seventh candidate in the field and the
most they would or could do might be
to give each of the Democratic candi-
| dates q little boom in the particular
county in which each resides. Even If
the decision of the Supreme court
should affirm Judge Smonton and vot-
ers be permitted to cast a ballot for
seven candidates 1t is altogether proba-
BILE that very large majority of Re-
publicans and Democrats would vote u
straight ticket and that would mean a
ballot for only six candidates for SUI
perior court judges.
The decision, whatever it may be- will
not require the electors to vote for seven
candidates in order to validate their
ballots. \ ballot for six. or one or none
at all will be just as valid as If the full
number of candidates Were on it.
Whatever the Supreme court decision
may be one of the seven Democratic
~, fnr ,,,.ti i,tl will
inevitably be elected. Under the Simon
ton decision the Republicans might de-
eide which one it shall be. but even
that is not certain. In Allegheny and
adjoining counties the Republicans
would very largely vote for Judge
Magee. in the northwest for Judge
Noyes, in the northeast for Judge
Smith. in the southeast for Judge
Yerkes, and in central western counties
for Judge MoOrhead. of Westmoreland
county. Many Democrats would nat
urally vote for one or the other of the
Republican candidates, but in counties
where neither party has a candidate a
very large majority of men of all par
ties would vote a straight ticket, and
for six candidates only.
II will be seen that the final decision
of the courts with reference to the Su-
perior court act is of comparatively lit
tie real Importance as affecting the re-
suit of the election.
1t is not assumed by any authority,
so far as we know, that there is any
probability that the Supreme court will
render a decision invalidating the en-
tire act creating the Superior court.
AS we understand the situation the
only question the court of last resort
will pass upon is whether seven can
didates may be voted for or voters be
restricted to six. The only provision
of the act attacked as unconstitutional
is that restricting electors to six candi-
dates when seven are to be elected.
Considered from any standpoint the
effect of the Supreme court decision
cannot seriously affect the situation as
it was before the question was raised.
1t Is entirely credible that the "sec-
retary of the treasury wants to put the
responsibility Of meeting the accrued
treasury deficit on congress- That
responsibility is we'll calcula ted to make
Messrs. Cleveland and Carlisle feel

The New Superintendent.

After campaign of much spirit ana
vicissitude, Professor George Howeh.
for many years assistant principal OF
the high school. was last evening elect
ed superintendent of city schools, IN
place of Professor George w. Philips,
resigned. His only competitor, Profess
sor Lange, received nine votes against
twelve for Professor Howell, showing
that both gentlemen possess the conn.,
dence of the community, with a narrow
margin of choice between them.
The fitness of Professor Howell for
his new position cannot be questioned.
Not only has his work as an instructor
commanded for years the thorough APP
probation Of his home constituency.
but his fame as an educator has also
penetrated to distant parts and won for
him enviable rank among the foremost
teachers of the state and of the coun-
try. In educational journals of nation
al circulation and from institute ros-
trums in many states no less than in
the smaller area of his own home field.
Professor Howell has commanded at
tention as an advocate of rational
methods and careful student of the
philosophy underlying his vocation.
The schools of the city, already de-
veloped to high degree of efficiency
under the skilful and indefatigable care
of his predecessor, will not retrograde
under their new pilotage, but will
steadily advance along lines of healthy
growth.
1t is, of course, unfortunate that Pro-
fessOr Howell's success should tempor-
arily be coupled with another worthy
educators disappointment; but Profess
sor Lange is far too liberal a man to
carry the fair contest beyond its fair
decision. He will recognize that the
victory Of his recent competitor in
volved no verdict Of censure upon his
of war. to which each man becomes
liable who enters the competitive field.
And In this spirit he and his friends will
promptly accord to Professor Howell
the same loyal support and staunch CO.
operation which would have been ex-
pected from the present victor and his
supporters had the result been reversed.
A short time ago the Philadelphia
Record was ardently advocating the
recognition by this government Of the
revolving Cubans. Now 1t suddenly
discovers that "the Cuban insurgents
have not attained the first prerequisite
Of lawful belligerency." The Record
must have received orders from Wash
1ngton.

The Republican newspapers In va

Cameron Is to be defeated for re-elec-

who are opposed to him will have to
