"A IN Saturdays Truth appeared card
signed by NJ. II. Dale and C. w. West
pfahl and setting forth that "at the
earnest solicitation Of many Republi-
cans favorable to the leadership Of
Senator Quay. and belieYg that
large majority Of the Re- Ollcans of
the Second Legislative district prefer
his leadership" they 'have consented
to stand for delegates to the Republi-
can state convent10e from said legisla-
tive dd5fricf" They pledge themselves
"unre}ervedly for the nomination Of
Judge E. N. Willard" and agree to "do
everything to honorably aid his caadi-
dacy."
II does not need very profound
scrutiny to discover the ridiculous in
consistency Of such a double-barreled
pledge. Messrs. Dale and westpfahl,
by putting Quay's name first in their
volunteered oath Of allegiance. clearly
make his interests paramount TO the in
terests Of Lackawanna's own home
candidacy. They are for Willard ''un-
reservedly." with the one reservation
that willard must 60 with them, and
not they with Willard. This is fine
Endorsement, surely; and one of which
Ne. WIZARDS friends have a right to
feel Suspicious.
But suppose Quay, as now appears
certain, will not own the next state
convention? Suppose the friends Of the
administration are in the majority?
Where would this leave Judge Willard?
An unconditional appointment to o
state Office, when everything was politi-
cally harmonious, Is one thing; but
convention nomination, made in the
heat and turmoil Of factional strife, is
quite another. Could Willard hope for
recognition from the Hastings people II.
after ths Administrations frank and
open appointment Of him. the men who
now pledge themselves to do every
thing TO honorably aid his candidacy"
should 90 to Harrisburg and there stab

Il 10 within the right of any man to
aspire to any office. We do not quar-
eol with Messrs. Dale ard Westpfahl
for wishing to 60 as delegates to the
August convention. We would not
question their right to be Quay candi-
dates, fairly and manfully. But we do
question the moral decency of their
bFassn attempt to juggle with Judge
WfIIarGs chances Of q nomination Aug.
n " making his candidacy subsidiary
to ths psrsonal necessities Of Senator
Quay; and We call upon the real friends

With Senator Quay or not. to put the

with as much emphasis az ever. that the
offices Of state chairman and banking
commissioner are incompatible; and that
no man should hold both at one time.
II Mr.. Gilkeson does not soon see this

Is a mere incident Of the great struggle

soon to decide whether Pennsylvania IL to
remain a commonwealth or become the

The fact that Senator Quay has felt COM

terly unprecedented course. we believe. for
a United States senator TO pursue-is gen.
orally regarded as equivalent to q con-
fession Of weakness. Indeed. 1t Is by
many regarded as exceedingly odd that he
should not perceive the political disad-

SO many delegates are yet ''on the fence"

Concerning Hospitals.

As a partial recompense for the re-
cent curtailment of the states appro-
priation to Lackawanna hospital comes
the gratifying announcement that by
special arrangement with the mani
ayers Of Moses Taylor hospital the hith-
erto closed doors OF that magnificent
institution will hereafter swing inward
to the sick and injured of the city for
whom suitable accommodation cannot
be found elsewhere. 1t Is explained
that preference will always be given to
employees of the Delaware, Lackawanna
ard Western company and the Lacka-
wanna Iron and Steel company, as was
intended by the hospitals founder; and
that private wards will also be at the
disposal of persons desiring to pay $50
a week for their use; but that beyond
these reservations, which win not cover
one-half the hospitals facilities, the
general public will be cordially well
come, at comparatively moderate
price.
1t is scarcely necessary to say that
this announcement will elicit wide
spread appreciation. For years the
spectacle of this splendid institution
standing almost idle because of con-
dition In its endowment made in ignor-
ance of the great growth to which
Scranton has since attained has been a
subject of criticism, all the keener in
view Of the apparent impossibilty of
securing from the state sufficient
money to make Lackawanna hospital
what It nanfestly should be. To be
sure, this criticism has been at times
unjust to the directors OF the large
institution, who have felt impelled by
flduciary considerations to closely obey
the wishes of its founder. But 1t has
been an entirely natural criticism, for
the partial removal of which the d.

Unfortunately, however. this opening
Of new hospital accommodations rests
on courtesy rather than on legal right;
which fact should stimulate friends Of
the Lackawanna hospita lin their efforts
to make up from private sources the sum
for extensions. new equipment and ex-
ira maintenance denied by the last leg
tslature. A city 80 large as Scranton
ought never to be partly dependent for
the proper care Of its sick and injured
on a private hospital. 1t ought to have
such an abundance Of free hospital IA
cilities Of It's own as would suffice to
meet any emergency. Anything less
than this amounts to a serious reflec-
ton on the community in which the
deficiency is not promptly supplied.

PLEASURES OF MINING.
There Is a Fascination in Digging Out the

An old miner of Cripple Creek, Col,

prospecting in the Rocky mountains,

ing description of gold mining in the
far west: Its the prettiest work 1
ever did," he said. Its the fascination
of it; when you have struck it pretty
rich and see your gold right in front of
you, when you are piling it up every
hour of the day, with a nugget now
and then as big as n bullet to cheer
you. And then, when evening comes.

ARTIFICIAL EYES.
The Interesting Operations Of the Glass
Blowers

u AuSCECoLAuB OPoEAtlOnb VI u SLhD0-
Those who take an interest in tax
idermy will be glad to know how birds
eyes made.
A visitor to a small factory in New
York found two glassblowers at this
work. One held a bar of clear glass in
the flame of a gas blow-pipe, and
worked a lump of fused glass around
h end of a wire and then pressed it
into a mold. When he drew it out of
the mold, a crystal eyeball ornamented
h end of the wire. This he passed to
his companion, who took a thin bar of
yellow glass, and heating it, worked it
into the crystal ball, forming a round,
glowing eye on the end OF the wire.
AS the glass cooled the yellow iris
showed more plainly, and by the time
it wa cold and hard, it appeared as a
good-sized owls eye, the pupil being a
section of the wire on which the glass
was heated. While this was going on
the first man was busy molding an
other crystal eye. Later the men took
up the work of making dolls eyes.
One nodded the clear eyeball, the other
worked in the blue or brown iris, as the
style might be, precisely as the owls
eyes had been made.
The superintendent of the shop said
that, while many dolls eyes were made,
the demand was mainly for eyes for
taXidermists' u~se-chiefy for stuffed
household pets. These were made of
all sizes and shapes, to suit the varied
requirements of the taxidermist. The
largest eyes are made for the moose,
the smallest for the trustees. Each va
riety of.birds or animals, when mount
ed, has to have eyes modelled from ma
ture, if its natural expression is to be
preserved.
