POLITICAL POINTS.

The movement for q third term for
Grover Cleveland Is fairly under way, and
while there is marked opposition to 1t, es-
not know where to find a candidate with
whom to antagonize the movement. Cleve-
land Is too wise to give open encourage
ment to the third termers. but neither Is
for him. The whitney boom has had q
wet blanket thrown on It by Mr.. Whitney
himself. He says his name must not be
used. as MS business VIII not permit nnnom
tions were less unpromising MI. Whitney
could probably SO adjust his business az
fairs as to admit Of his accepting, but he

feated. 1t looks as II Cleveland would be
the man once more. ~
The uarr,sourr p.tr,ot. Democratic
organ, frequently serves as a mouthpiece
for Senator Cameron. A few days ago 1t
announced that the senior senator would
not be a candidate for reelection, n In
life. The average Republican smiled
broadly when he read that interesting an
nouncement, for he knew exactly the pur
pose that prompted It. That dodge has
cannot again be successfully worked.
The Lancaster New Era declares that Of
all the candidates for Republican presi-
u Is
the most popular In Lancaster county.
And yet We venture the prediction that
the two delegates to the national conven.
ton next year from the Lancaster dis
Senator Quay should flop over for the ex-
presidents contingency not at all likely
to occur.
There Is q sentiment abroad In n about
Wiikes-Barre which indicates very clearly
the existence Of Q notion that the next
member Of congress for the Luxerne dis
trict should be a resident Of the county
seat. This clearly foreb0des opposition to
the denomination of Congressman Leis-

Overpaid Public Officials,

During his four years tenure of the
office Of secretary of the commonwealth
William F. Harrity, it is said. received
in fees $66, 1865 in addition to his annual
salary Of $4,000, or 49,. 965 altogether,
more than double the salary of the gov
ernor. An estimate of the probable
revenue which Secretary Reeder will
derive from the same office places the
sum at approximately $4,000 The
Pittston Gazette, in scanning these and
other figures connected with the fees of
state officials, recollects that the last
Republican state platform declared,
among other things, that AL unnec-
essary positions and salaries should be
abolished, and expenditures and taxa
ton reduced" and it suggests that the
office of the secretary of the common
wealth would be a good starting point
for the requisite legislative pruning.
The generosity which our contempo-
rary notes as characteristic Of the
pay rolls in the various departments at
Harrisburg prevails equally at Wash
ington. For instance, the clerk of the
house, himself drawing $4,000 a year
for duties performed mainly by subor-
dinates, has at his command forty
three employees commanding aggregate
salaries of 81, 1908 a year, and doing
work which a private employer could
get done quite quite as well at an an
nual cost Of 1000. The sergeant-at-
arms Of the house, who gets $4,000 a
year, controls one position worth $4,000,
two worth 81, 900 and a dozen or more
worth from $500 to $1,000. and the entire
work in his department could be done
with half the men at less than half the
cost. In the case of the d%oOrkeeper a
similar condition is revealed. In his
department 1876 employees get $1O4,314
per year in salaries when the actual
labor required in it could be secured in
any private establishment at one-third
this expense. This line Of comparison
could be followed through all the fed
eral departments with equal results.
There is no reason except custom
why the secretary Of the common
wealth Of Pennsylvania should receive
twice the pay Of the governor. He
does not have one-tenth the response
bility; neither does his work require
an equal grade Of ability. The work
in the secretary of the commemorative
department would go on without a
hitch II the secretary himself were
never to enter his office in person; but
were the governor to absent himself
from the post of duty things would soon
end in a tangle. The truth Of the mat
ter is that the fee system Of payment
is incompatible with honest and eco
nomical government, and should be
changed II 1t be desired to accomplish
the best results. This applies to all
positions of public trust, federal, state,
county and municipal.

received by the winning Democratic
candidate is in itself evidence Of fraud.

M $RS
Astrolabe cast: 2.01 a. m, for Wednesday,
Nov. q. 1895.
A child born on this day will dream
OF winter time-when blizzards scream

And weather cold enough for YOU"
At the hour of drawing the horoscope
the effects of the coming blizzard were not
p%erceptible to any but candidates on the

Now that the city undertakers have or
ganized, the dead beats will stand no show

There Is no question that the situation

Ajacchus' Advice.
To enjoy n Thanksgiving dinner-eat it

To avoid ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS that you

To shake Off loneliness at meal time
keep boarders.
To dispel that mugwumpish feeling

It Ia not incumbent upon Judge Smith
If his opponents believe he wal elected
by fraud 1t is their duty to contest. To
people living In this section Of the state
the result of the election In Lackawan-
ma and Luzerne Is in no wise mysteri-
GUS. On the contrary 1t is perfectly
plain. Men of intelligence who served
on election boards, and who conse-
| quently had the opportunity to know
how the voting was done, understand
the situation exactly. In these two
counties great numbers Of Democrats
voted for Smith alone; other Democrats,
as well al many Republicans, voted only
for the three local candidates-Rice,
Willard and Smith.
1t Is time for the Times and other
Philadelphia papers to cease their ridic-
ulous twaddle about fraud in Lacka-
wanna and Luzerne counties in the in
terest of Judge Smith. There is no evil
dence whatever that fraud was COM
mitted in these counties in the interest
of any one. Weeks before the election
1t was suggested in the public prints
that an effort be made in these two
counties. and in fact in the adjoining
ones, to elect all three of the candidates
from this section. There was nothing
fraudulent in that. The suggestion was
acted upon by the voters and was sue
cessful. Neither Of the candidates
Rice, Willard nor Smith-was a party
to that proposition, and they even pub
licly dlsapproved it, nevertheless /, was
acted upon and with results entirely
satisfactory to this section Of the state.
A similar movement was attempted in
Philadelphia in the interest of Judge
Yerkes. but failed, and that is what
causes the clatter by the Philadelphia
Times and other newspapers Of that
city.
Our kind friend, the Wilkes Barre
Record, misunderstood The Tribune's
recent assertion that Pennsylvania
lacked presidential timber. The mean
ing was that this state had no single
statesman of life long experience and
predominant ability, like Harrison, Of
Indiana; Reed, of Maine, and McKin-
ley, Of Ohio. But in the person of Cen
eral Hastings it has the making of one,
and he already measures up to presi-
Dental requirements:
