In the midst of the calls which are
being made upon local philanthropy,
Scrantonians should not forget Friday
evenings lecture at the rockingham
for the benefit of the Oral school. Pur-
chasers of tickets for this event will
not only do the school good turn in
an hour of financial need, but they will
also get for their money the best bar
gain to be had in the whole lecture field.
For Henry Watterson is, without ex-
ception. the most eloquent speaker to-
day on the American platform, and his
grafton upon Lincoln" is incomparably
his masterpiece. Friday evening s
greeting of him should be an enthusiasts
tic one, commensurate with the speak
er's renown and the merit of the cause
in whose interest he will speak.

A WORTHY INSTITUTION.
From the Archibald Citizen.


According to our correspondents re-
port, the funds of the Lacklwanna hos
pitsl a. Scrunton are running low ana
tine institution will shortly be in need ~
money 10 pay the running expenses. our
correspondent; suggests that while the
corporations should contribute that
workingmen in general. should also do
nate one days wages toward the MAIN
;ainance of the Institution. The sugges-
ton Is a good one and should be acted
upon at once. as there is no more worthy
institution in tia state than is the Lack
awanaa hospital. IL is in every sense OF
the word the poor mans friend. There
are very few persons working in and
around the mines. who themselves or
their friends have not al one time or
another found shelter, succor and re-
stored health inside its walls. The rich
can do without 1t. upon the poor 1t has
conferred many blessings; none can tell
when their turn may come or VINO the
next will be who may want shelter ana
medical attendance there.
The only place outside of voluntary
contributions. from which donations can
be expected is from state appropriations.
and as the legislature will not meet for
a year and the necessary legislation cam
not be enacted for a much greater time
the people should act at once. We trust
that should an effort be made to solicit
subscriptions the people of Archibald and
vicinity VIII not be backward in helping
along so worthy cause.

The SuperiOr Court

The new state tribunal. known as the
Superior court, met in this city yester-
day for it's first session since the cleo
ton of the seven Judges who constitute
1t. Judge Rice continues as the presi-
dent Judge Of the court. he having been
previously chosen by lot. This new ad-
dition to the judiciary of the common
wealth of Pennsylvan mia is now perma-
nently organized and will meet at stat
ed intervals at Scranton, Philadelphia,
Wllliamsport. Harrisburg and Pitts
burg TO what extent this tribunal Will
relieve the Supreme court cannot be
definitely known, but it is estimated
that the result will be to very nearly
equally divide the la bor that has here
lie expectation will be grievously dis
appointed If, with this new court In full
operation. the BUSINESS of the Supreme
court is not performed more expedite
ously than in the past.
1t Is only the truth that the multi
plying of courts and judges has not,
as a rule, had the effect Of eXpediting
the disposal of litigation. This has ref
erence more especially, however, to the
lower courts. POpulOus counties have
been granted additional judges. and
new districts have been constantly
created. thus vastly increasing the cost
of maintaining the judiciary, without
the expectant compensatory results.
The work and compensation incident to
the lower courts is not equitably dis
trbuted under our present system.
Some of the common pleas judges are
worked hard, but they receive no great
er compensation than other judges who
perform less than n fourth as much
work. Some Judges sit almost con-
stantly. while others are on the bench
only few weeks in the year, yet there
Is no difference in the compensation.
This is contrary to every principle of
equity. Again. in some judicial dis
tricts there are two or more judges who
combined do no more work than de-
wolves upon a single judge in other dis.
trcts.
There was no popular opposition to
the creating of the new Superior court.
That this is true is confirmed by the
fact that the judges of this court re-
ceived a larger vote than was cast for
the Office of state tire a Surer at the elec-
tion last November. and this, too, not
| withstanding the fact that before the
election an appeal had been made to
the people to manifest their disapproval
of the court by refusing to vote for the
candidates for Judges.
There is every reason for believing
that the new Superior court will prove
to be an earnest. industrious and able
adjunct to our state judiciary, that II
| will dispose of the business coming be.
fore it promptly and not permit any
accumulation of cases such as has
marked the Supreme court. 1t Is Of the
highest Importance that litigation
should be disposed of with the utmost
promptness in all our courts, and the
new Superior court is in position tt
set wholesome eXa ample in that direc'

There are several strong reasons why

the first place, the Home, in its old To-
cation. will always be crippled and al
WAYS be subject to just such disasters
as that of Saturday. Perhaps the next
visitation of fire to the Adams avenue
property may be attended by loss or life
as well as of property. The danger OF
such fatality at any rate should be
obyiated by the Homes removal to am
pier and safer quarters.
In addition to this the Home deserves
to be enlarged. For years it has proved

work indefinitely in a meager and dam

less than display of wilful ingratitude
such as Scranton is incapable Of.
