CHARLEY,S A UNIT.

This unusually funny play will be
at Howe Opera House this evening
There are several things about the
farce contributing to make it one OF
the most praiseworthy performances
that will be given here during the
season. First the piece itself is won
derlully amusing in situations, clear
in dialogue and skillful in develop
ment. This is a basis fit to build on,
and q capable company employed IN
its cast play it as though it was real
and not the mimicked article. An
other thing that makes "Charley's
Aunt" superior to plays OF its class is
its atmosphere. The play is high
toned, ever if ridiculous. The price
of the tickets are so, rs cents and 81.
If you see "Charley's Aunt you will
have a hearty laugh from the time
the curtain rises in the first act until
it drops in the last act.

II Owes rlr. Farr an Apology.

Now that the battle is all over in the
First district. 1t seems to us that the
Scrantop Republican. which during the
heat Of the conflict brought a deliber-
ately false and malicious charge against
Representative Farr, accusing him of
making lists of railway employees to be
punished for independent voting,
should have the decency to proffer a
public apology, especially since Mr..
Farr has himself made an affidavit to
its utter falsity.
A charge of this kind is an exceeding
ly serious one. When made with de-
lfberate intent to work an innocent man
INJURY, It becomes about as contenrpti-
BILE piece of mendacity as could be
imagined. The offense was particular
ly fragrant in the case of Mr.. Farr, who
has for years been one OF the closest
personal and political friends that the
editor of the Republican ever had. We
are glad to observe that Mr. Farr's
neghbors in the First district of the
Fourteenth ward on Thursday repudi-
ated the slander by a vote of more than
3 to /.
The Republican ought to learn from
past experience that the only person II
has ever harmed by its mendacous
misstatements during political cam
paigns has been its own editor, upon
whom such tactics always react.

Time to Take Suitable Action.

The charges of Cornelius Smith
against the late Judge Connolly. Hon.
R. w. Archibald, the deputy prothono-
tary and I. H. Burns, in his recent petit
ton filed in the Supreme court, reported
in our local columns, require more
than passing notice.
Every one Of them has been shown
to be unfounded and untrue after ex-
animation and investigation. The pa
tence of the court ought to have been
exhausted iby this time. How long does
the judiciary Of this county propose to
allow Con. Smith to continue his at
tacks upon Judge Connolly's memory.

Of it's clerks? Are they to sit idly by
and permit him to say whatever 1t oc-
ours to him to say and make no
answer?
1t strikes the people that it is about
time either the judiciary or the Bar
association took this matter in hand
Failure to do so may yet mean the loss
of self respect and the sacrifice Of the
respect Of the people.

Quay Alone Is Responsible.

Some Republicans fear that II Sena-
tor Quay is defeated in the present
internecine contest his future useful
ness to the party will be sacrificed. In
what respect? Defeat will leave the
senator where he was before he began
the fight. His term as senator does not
expire until 1899. He has four more
years, at least, in which to continue the
good work that he has already done at
Washington In behalf of Pennsylvania s
industries.
But If the party, in order to command
the services ofMr. Quay in the national
field, must, SO far as this state Is con-
cerned, bind itself over to him as an
absolute possession, and regularly incur
the risks of repetitions Of the Delama.

The British Elections.

It would take some hardihood, In view
of recent experiences nearer home, Tor
the casual American observer to pre-
sumo to regard the result of the recent
parliamentary elections in England as
finally settling any Of 'tAe' issues IN
yolved In them. No doubt four-tifths or
the unexpectedly large Unionist ma
jority typifies merely indeilrdte popular
reaction from the largely negatiVe
Rossbery ministry, or "adminiscra-
tion."
AT the same time It probably Ia true
that one item in the Radical creed VIII
hereafter have to be modified We
question II the fiery Lah,by or any or
his energetic compeers will live to clap
their hands at the outright abolition
of the house of lords. And 1t doubtless
was the lack CT sympathy between the
outgoing premier and the extremists
of his own party touching this point In
the Liberal programme that turned the
scale cf mildly conservative English
opinion against both wings OF the dis
united party of progress" and recalled
to unanticlpated prominence the more
harmonious opposition.
Our thought is we'll put by EMyn
Barron In his last letter from London
to the Chicago Times-Herald: "The
house of lords, with less authority, with
restricted powers, is as indispensable to
the British parliament as the senate is
an essential part of the American con-
gress. Both are far enough away from
the capricious public to view with So
briefly measures that often define only
a popular impulse divorced from judg-
ment. and II the lords, Through being
more independent. are sometimes more
vexatiOusly slow and obstinate than our
senators they no doubt have spared the
public much misery of repentance by
forcing 1t to a greater dellberation Of
its demands"

Rough on the Horse.

A novel proposition is made by the
Chicago Times-Herald which offers to
pay $1,000 in prizes to inventors of the
best horseless carriages. The vehicles
must be Of practical utility. intended
for everyday use by all kinds Of people
The competition is open equally to
pleasure vehicles and wagons Of every
description.
V The Times-Herald undertakes this
competition with a laudable desire to
spur American inventors on to re.
newed effort in this inviting direction.
"The horseless carriage" 1t says, has
almost ceased to be novelty In the
neighborhood Of Paris which first raw
