as our goods or even more so.

In other words 1t Is put into the same
class as the Supreme court In this re-
spect. 1t Is more: 1t Is part and parcel
Of what was before the Supreme court.
There Is nothing In a name, there Is
everything in the thing itself. Suppose
the legislature had designated the new
court Supreme court and the higher
court the court of appeals as in New
York. The constitution does not bind
the legislature to name. The Supreme
court today Is not the same court 1t
was. 1t has by the sovereign power or
the state. for Its own good and the good
Of the people. yielded a part OF its
jurisdiction to another Supreme court
called the Superior court.
The Language Of tho Constitution.
Now what does the constitution say
on this subject. 1t says, Article V, Sec
ton 26.: "All laws relating to courts
shall be general and of uniform opera
ton and the organiza ton, Jurisdiction
and powers of all courts of the same
class or grade, so far as regulated by
law, and the force and effect of the pro-
cess and judgments Of such courts shall
be uniform"
1t will be impossible to state in brief
article intended for the public what
parts Of the constitution, what elements
OF judicial and wise construction should
enter into the breasts of the judges and
will enter II this question comes before
them. The constitution Is always
called the peoples instrument by our
courts: 1t has been construed to meet
this view SO as to provide remedies for
evils and never to fasten a worse evil
upon them. As a citizen above all,
"a n nd hne
party Is more or less responsible for
this wise statute. I trust and believe
1t will be sustained.

With Reference to Cameron.

AT about this time of year the reader
of Democratic newspapers in Pennsyl-
vania may expect to encounter such
paragraphs as this, which we take for
purposes Of illustration from the es-
teemed Philadelphia Record: "As usual
about this time when no members of
legislature are to be elected, the public
ear is assailed by violent anti-Camer-
ON o.amor AS usual next year, when
Republican candidates for the legisla-
ture are to be nominated and elected,
the clamor VIII subside. The people 81!
Pennsylvania have become quite IA
miliar with the regular recurrence Of
these political phenomena"
1t Is unfortunate that the inclination
to hurl back these gibes In the faces Of
the Knockers who obtrrde them Is mega
tived by the recollection that, after ALL
the, gibes are founded ON fact. The Re-
publican party in this state once swal-
lowed Cameron with scarcely q GRIM
ace, after vowing DIN the name of all the
gods that It would never stomach him
again; and 1t is a truism of force In the
courts THAT what happens once may
happen again.
If the Republicans of Pennsylvania,
while convinced that they don't want
Cameron as senator. nevertheless calm
ly permit his reelection. we shall not
try very hard to make faces back at the
Democratic brethren who make faces
at us.

COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
Clothing and NOdcsty.


Cleveland World: "The philosopher at
the recent meeting of the British Society
for the Advancement of Science was not
altogether wrong In saying that a great
many people make modesty and moral
ity matter of clothes, whereas they are
or may be independent of clothes Human
experience justifies this conclusion 1t Is
proved by the behavior OF people on occa-
sions when their minds are otherwise oc-
cupied. AT fires in the night in ship
wreck, or during the excitement following
d burglary, people in immodest' costumes
and almost without any costuming what
ever have met and acted and talked to-
gether without thought of immodesty
or immortality, and have been astonished
afterwari to think how almost perfect
strangers encountered each other, ar
rayed in almost a Garden of Eden fash
ion without thought Of its impropriety,
unconscious even of their appearance.
rected to the costume, 1t Is of itself neither
immodest nor immoral"

NatiOraI Financ;ering A Contrast.

The Democrats cannot reasonably
find fault with their Republican oppon-
ents when they draw contrast be-
tween the last three years Of Benjamin
Harrison's Republican administration
and the first three years of Grover
Cleveland's Democratic administration.
Comparison is legitimate in politics
when facts and figures are fairly and
honestly stated, and no honest man will
state them otherwise. Here Is contrast
No. 1:
During the last three years of Har-
rison's administration the public debt
was reduced 244824, $3.50. or at the aver
age rate of little more than $1,000, 900
year. During the first three years Of
Cleveland's administration the national
debt was increased s106, ,467, 800. or at
the rate Of s35,455, 796 a year. The as
founding figures here presented cannot
be disputed by the defenders of the
Cleveland administration, for they are
q matter Of record as we'll as of history.
years of the Harrison administration
the aggregate surplus Of revenues over
expenditures was $9S,S69 SIS. or at the
rate OF $32,956,5O5 a year. During the
first three yearspf Cleveland's admins
tration the excess Of expenditures over
the receipts Of the treasury was $780,
10000. or at the rate Of $40,5O0,0OO a
year. The facts and figures here pre-
sented are as irrefutable as are those
with reference to debt decrease under
Republican rule and debt increase un-
der Democratic administration.
If there were no issues involving ma
tional policy to enter into the presiden-
tial campaign next year. the .Republi-
cans might be content to fight that
battle and make their appeal to the
American people on the sole basis Of a
contrast between the G1arrlson and
Cleveland administrator In the mat.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1895-10-10

ter Of the national finances. and We
feel certain such appeal would not be
made in vain. The facts cannot be too
plainly stated nor too frequently re-
peated. The Republican party reduced
the public debt: the Democratic party
increased It. The Republican party
showed a surplus every year 1t was in
power the Democratic party shows an
enormous deficit for each year since
the present administration came into
existence.
There could be no greater contrast
than is here shown. but this is not all.
During the entire term of President
Harrison's administration the country
enjoyed unparalleled prosperity. the
industries of the nation We're in full
operation and the people We're happy
and contented. During the three years
of Cleveland's administration the coun-
try has suffered from almost unpre-
cedented depression. the industries
have been languishing and the masses
have been reduced to comparative pow
erty and many thousands to actual dis
tress.
Few among the millions of intelll-
gent people fail to see and understand
the contrast between Republican and
Democratic administration. Moreover
the thinking portion of the American
people know the cause for the change
that came with Democratic rule. And
what Is more to the point. they under
stand the remedy. Democratic incom-
potency must give place to Republican
wisdom and statesmanship; Demo-
cratic policy must be replaced with Re-
publican policy. That Is the remedy;
and 1t will be applied in the year Of
grace one thousand eight hundred and
ninety-sX

In another column on this page ap-
rears a timely communication from
ex-Judge Alfred Hand concerning the
contention which has been raised with
reference TO the constitutionality of the
law creating the new Superior court.
While Judge Hand does not seek to
usurp the authority of the Supreme
court. he plainly inclnes to the belief
that the law is valid as IL stands: and
that the overthrow of the clause limit
ing to six the number of judges of the
Superior court belonging to the majori-
ty party would be public misfortune
inasmuch as it would open the way to
a court composed wholly of members
of single political party-a species Of
ultra partisanship manifestly inconsist-
ent with good government.
But for the present emergency, the
most important point in Judge Hands
letter is his explanation that the law
must be considered valid exactly as it
stands until the court of final resort
shall have formally declared otherwise
"A declaration which, If made at all,
is not, in the judges opinion, likely to
be rendered hastily or without due
consideration of the principles at issue.
So far as the November election is con-
cerned. 1t is highly improbable that any
action by the Supreme court will be
made public in time to invalidate the
provision of the mooted act which de-
clare's that no elector shall vote for
more than six candidates for judge Of
the Superior court. Hence any effort,
in advance of such decision to cancel
the law as it stands would clearly be
untenable in principle as well as un-
safe from the standpoint of expediency.
We repeat, ali the more confidently
In view of the eminent sanction thus
sfforded, that the only safe course for
the individual voter to pursue in this
matter is to obey the law in it's plain
restriction of the number of candidates
to be voted for and thus do away with
any danger Of having his ballot thrown
out upon the ground OF irregularity.
This plan presents no difficulties. All
the difficulties lie along the other sug-
gested pathway.
