We infer that the new chief of the fire
department represents the standard
which the present municipal admins
tration intends, so far as it can, to es-
tablish in the personnel of the govern
ment of Scranton. We infer this be-
cause the appointment Of Mr.. Hickey
was deliberate, and was decided upon
after all the risks had been duly
weighed. At this time no comment is
called for. The fact speaks for itself.

with which he had intended, once upon
a time, to tomahawk the redoubtable
Tioga brave, Thomas Collier Platt.

at least, the ideal bad man." but there
doesn't seem to be any ground for de-

getting what he wants in Empire state

The best currency plank of the sea-
son is that adopted by the Indiana Re-
publican convention. 1t says: I'VE IA
vor the use of silver as currency, but
to the extent only and under such regu-
lations that its parity with gold can
be maintained; and in consequence are
opposed to the free, unlimited and In
dependent coinage of silver at ratio
of 10 to l." This Is Il safe, sensible and
easily comprehended position. 1t Is in
no degree inconsistent with the plan
for bimetallism lately outlined in these
columns: namely, the coinage of Ameri-
can silver protected by virtually pro-
hibitive tariff on foreign silver.

If the St. Louis convention can have
its way there is very little doubt that

for the presidency had he been called
upon to I'LL that Office. Schuyler Coifax,
OF indiana. who was elected with Grant
IN ls6s, was one OF the foremost men OF
the party and in every sense a statesman.
indeed he was tar better equipped for me
presidency than General Grant, whose
rSnown was purely military. Bnt The
Tribune falls into 4 most lamentablc error
when II desianates Henry Wilson, of Mats
sachusetts, rs an inferior man. AS the
colleague of Charles Sumner in the United
States senate he had made record tor
craftsmanship second only TO Sumner. In
the entire history of the country, from
John Adams down, the vice-presidency
was never more creditabiy hlled than ~
Henry Wilson, statesman and patriot. He
would nave made an ideal president. The
nomination of Hon. William y. W heeler.
OF New York, in 1876, and General John
y. Logan in 1881, were also highly creGita-
BILE. The country was not disappointed in
the nomination of either of these men for
the Vice-presidency. Thore was disap-
pointmert in the cases of Andrew Jthn-
son IN lSi. Arthur in 1850 and Reid IN
1892. The nomination of Morton in lSsS
was perhaps less disappointing, neverthe-
less there was 4 general sentiment that
he was not the'man who should have beei
named.
1t is hoped that the st. Louis convea-
ton will measure up to public eXpectc-
ton by naming for second place on the
ticket the most eminent Republican who
I
Reed ought TO be that man, and II Is hoped
he will not feel that the Office Is too small
for him. The yice-presidency ought to De
the stepping stone TO the presidency, ana
can be made 50 If national conventions
VIII cease to consider questions of mere
party CXpedienCy in hlling second place
on the ticket. 100 frequently this great
office is disposed of solely with a view to
placatng some disappointed leader or
faction, or as a bid for the, electoral vote
of some particular state, as In 1880, when
the angry and disappointed Conkllng was
permitted TO name his personal friend Ar
thur for the vce-presidenCy. No such
considerations would enter into the ncm-
| ination of Thomas i. Reed. He happens
to be located advantagcously, but 1t is
not on that account he will be urged for
second place. He nor his friends VIII net
require placating, for they are loyal Re-
publicans and will support the nominee
for president no matter who may be named
by the convention. Thomas 3. Reed is
the best equipped man in the United States
. for presiding officer of the senate and il
he should be called upon to succeed to the
presidency the country would feel that
| there would be no change of policy and no
danger to any national interest. He is 4
great parliamentaran and Il statesman,
and the Republican party wants him on
the ticket with William Mckinley.

to the making of 4 place" for some
hungry and inappeasible constituent.
Therefore, while President Cleveland
has reduced the area of Republican ex-
pectation he has widened the area of
executive freedom, and deserves credit
rather than censure.
And, after ali. why should politics
play any part in determining the selec-
tion of federal clerks. bookkeepers,
folders and pastors. janitors and watch
men? Can anyone give reason why
John Smiths qualifications as mathe-
matician capable of adding a row of
figures or Peter Browns ability to copy
records should be influenced for either
the better or the worse by the fact that
these two men vote this. that or an
other ticket? No doubt in chief posi-
tions where there is large measure of
executive option and responsibility the
administration is justified in wanting
to have men in sympathy with its aims
and amenable to its suggestions and re-
proof. But we Challenges the spoilsmen
10 cite one respectable argument why
the merit system of non-partisan test
should not cover the great bulk of minor
Offices, not only in the national but also
in the state and in the municipal SER
vice.
That wen-managed base BAH is popu-
lar in Scranton was shown by yester-
blage at Athletic park. The home
team, to be sure, got worsted, but the
playing was sharp. clean and spirited,
and everybody felt well entertained.
1t is only II question of time until the
Scranton team takes a permanent po-
sitlon among the leaders in the race.
1t has the skill, the management and
the inclination; and where there's Il
will there's Il way.
