The County Convention.

Lackawanna Republicans will take
notice that, in accordance with the de-
cision Of the county committee, the Re-
publican county convention to nominate
candidates for coroner and surveyor,
and to choose two delegates and two al
ternates to the next national conven-
tion, will be held in the court house at
D. M, on Tuesday, Sept. II. Pri-
maries for the election Of delegates to
this convention will be held at the regu-
lar polling place on Saturday. Sept. IA.
between the hours of 4 and Z o'clock in
the afternoon.
Although the local. Offices to be con-
tested for this year are Of minor i'm
portance, 1t behooves the Republicans
Of the county to enter into the contest
with as much zeal and unanimity as II
weighty interests were at stake. In
this way they can effectively give the
lie to the Democratic claim that the
little domestic unpleasantness which
has lately been agitating the Republi-
can rank and file will In any wise in
capacitate them for the pleasant duty
Of trouncing the SCARED battalions Of
the free trade minority.
With presidential contest near at
hand, carrying with 1t extraordinary
consequences of Industrial revival in
the event of a sweeping Republican
victory, there is no wound Of factional
origin that can justify failure to line
up smiling and eager for Democratic
attack.

Federal Representative w. A. Stone.
OF Pittsburg. somewhat fiamboyantly
announces his belief that Senator
Quay's policy in the Legislature Of 1897
will be to secure the passage OF law
which will make a decided change in
the political methods in vogue In our
great cities" Col. Stone does not know
precisely how this revolution is to be
brought about, but he Is of the opinion
that a law will be passed which will
make It misdemeanor for any public
employe to be engaged In what the pub
Nc colloquially denomlnates "hustling
for votes" The colonel adds:
have not the time to outline the plan
which Senator Quay seems to have in
view. according. to his declaration, but
that will be the main objectI-to free the
administration Of public affairs from ac-
tive politics. Senator Quay Is In a POSI-
ton peculiarly fitting him to accomplish
this. He Is no longer Q young man, and
he has attained the highest position In
public life that he can aspire to. He has
only one great object before him, and that
Is to endear himself to the people who

An Imminent Reform.

Superintendent Jackson, OF TINS diVi-
sion of the United States railway SER
vice, Is receiving many compliments
upon the excellent record OF his de-
partment. With 4O,365.67O more pieces
of mail distributed In the fiscal year OF
1895 than in 1894, there was an average
of only one error for every 1855 pieces
distributed. Mr.. Jackson, 1t should De
remembered was at one time news
paper man, which probably accounts
for his thorough comprehension of the
value of promptness In the exchange
and delivery of mail. If the local mail
service in all cities were UP to the hish
standard Of efficiency characteristic OF
the railway branch Of the postal SER
vice, there would be very little room for
complaint.
It is probable, however, that there
never will be this equality OF services
50 long as 1t remains the custom for
local postmasters and their responsible
assistants to be changed at every turn
in the political tide. Such a custom
means unavoidable embarrassment 10
the efficiency Of the postal service, Just
as much so as would be the case with.
let us say, the express business II local
managers Of express offices were turned
out of Office and their places filled. at
the instigation Of local politicians, with
green men each time a change was
made in the presidency of the company.
No bank, railroad or other private en-
terprise could succeed II 1t were to
change its responsible employees with
the same frequency that postmasters
are changed. thanks to the spoils sys'
tenn of politics; and 1t is significant
fact that the marked efficiency Of the
railway branch Of the postal business
dates from the moment Of Its honest
classification under civil service rules.
The time will come when postmasters
and revenue collectors will be appoint.
ed upon their merits as ascertalned,
first, by practical examination and sec.
ondly by general Endorsement among
patrons Of the affected offices; and will
hold office during the efficient portion
Of their lives or during good behavior.
and the same will be true Of their SUBJ
ordinates. Thus the business affairs Of
these public offices will be put upon the
same fair basis Of stability and effici-
ency that is exacted by patrons Of
banks, trust companies, pharmacies
and common carriers. When this time
comes, and 1t Is not far remote, the
spectacle will not be seen Of any sena-
tor Of the United States peddling out
positions Of public responsibility to any
class Of men who can serve his personal
purposes by the manipulation of dele.
gates or otherwise.

The Judgeship In Llzerne.

It Is apparent that the battle in Lu-
zerne county between Lyman H Ben
nett and William 8. Mclean, the oppos-
ing candidates for the common pleas
judgeship, will be most hotly contested.
The nominees are both strong and pOpu-
lar men, as well az Of high stayding In
their profession. Both have been be-
fore the people in former campaigns as
candidates for Judge and been defeated,
and both owed their defeat to the same
man, Bennett directly and Mclean In.
directly. Fifteen years ago Mr.. Nc
Lean was the regular nominee OF the
Democracy for judge, with Judge Rice
as his opponent. At that time Luzerne
was more reliably Democratic than It
is now and Mclean would probably
have been elected had not Lynch ac-
cepted the nomination Of the Green
back-IAbor party. He drew largely on
the Democratic vote and Mclean was
defeated. Two years ago Lynch was
the Democratic candidate for Judge and
Bennett was his opponent. Mclean re-
membered alis defeat through the in
strumentallty Of Lynch and supported
Bennett, but Lynch was elected In
spite of the opposition Of Mclean and
his Democratic friends. Az might be
expected, many Of Lynch's friends are
not giving Mclean very cordial sup
port in his present campaign.
| But this antagoniam in his own party
is not the only nor the most formidable
element OF weakness In Mr.. iMcLean's
candidacy. While the Democratic
party in Luzerne has not in Its organ
lied capacity ever manifested q spirit
Of non-partisandsm In judicial elections
there are ,inquestionebly many indi-
vidual Democrats in that county who
recognize the fact that on common
pleas bench containing three. Judges
both political parties should be repre-
sented. The two older Judges: Of Luz
xerne, Woodward and Lynch. are Dem

struck powerful and effective blows In
behalf of reform, and thus ''endeared
himself to the people" in time to avoid

have won, in his best days. the services

whose eleventh hour conversion now
smacks more OF revenge and finesse
than of sincerity.
1t is difficult to teach new tricks to a
man Of three score years and more.
Had the senator's conversion happened
ten or dozen years ago, he might have
successfully courted admiration as q
modern Saul of Tarsus. But Saul. the
prosecutor. who become st. Paul, the
apostle. was in either case sincere, and
acted up to his light. We fear that
the willy Matthew can never wholly
merge his old identity as the chief Of
political sinners into his new one as the
primate of the political saints.
