The Coming of the Booths.

Tho local engagement arranged for
Commander Ballington Booth next
Thursday lends interest TO some re-
marks which were made by him in
West Philadelphia on Sunday. Mrs
Booth and myself" said he, twelve
weeks ago had intended to retire into
private life for much needed rest, but
backed by assurances Of good will from
all over the country we started the
movement of today. It has been as
serted that the Volunteers have but five
posts, and that two Of those posts in
tend to 60 back to the Salvation army
The Volunteers have not lost two posts.
On the contrary. the posts at Napers-
vile, ILL.,, and Cedar Rapids, Mich, are
stronger than ever. We have sixty
eight officered, organized posts and q
number more waiting for staff officers
In order to organize. In our war Of
fee forty.eight officers are employed,
and we have a paper with a paid cir
culation Of 10000 per week."
Concerning the reason of his depar-
ture from the parental order he said:

Change the Representation.

Now that the question Of a nominee
has been answered in advance, thus
leaving the field free for the fair con-
sideration of other party interests. we
heartily concur in the proposition OF
National Committeeman Scott, Of West
Virginia, that the st. Louis convention
ought to take time to remodel its pres
ent system of representation. We
also view with favor his sug-
gestion that representation Of the va
rious congressional districts in future
conventions be based upon the Republi-
can vote polled therein, one delegate
being allotted to each district for each
1000 votes, with an additional delegate
for a fraction exceeding half thereof,
each district to have at least one dele
gate. This Is the basis Of representa-
ton which obtains with reference to
the legislative districts in a majority
of the Republican conventions of the
various states, notably Pennsylvania,
and 1t has the obvious advantage of
placing among Republican vote-casters
the controlling say in Republican party
councils.
Upon this basis the membership of
the convention Of 1896 would be 120
larger than it is, the increase Of dele
gates numbering 1893 and the decrease
70. The following table shows the
change that would be made in the sew
eral state delegations by the adoption
of the proposed rule:

of different nations are various. What
true American patriotism is depends on
what the national ideals are. The Ameri-
can ideals are:

BY study Of the foregoing table It will
be seen that the increases would fall
in states that are hopeful fighting
ground and the decreases chiefly in
states that offer little or no encourage
ment to Republican expectation Of VIC
tory Losses in the representation Of
states like Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Louisiana, the Carolinas, Ten
nessee and Texas could be viewed by
the party at large with the greater
equanimity since in not one Of those
states, with the possible exception Of
Tennessee, is there q remote prospect
OF securing single Republican cleo
toral vote. Inasmuch as future presi-
Dental campaigns are likely to be more
evenly contested than the one upon
which we are about to enter, the pres
ent would seem to be an exceptionally
opportune time for putting the party
organization into the best possible trim
for future victory. The need for a cur
tailment Of the mischievous possibilities
of carpet-bag representation is indis-
putable; and now Is the Incompatible
time.

Watterson Among the Enemy.

That must have been. q ringing speech
which Henry Watterson, impetuous. de-
termined, frankly jingoistic Henry. de-
livered Saturday evening in London, at
the dinner to Consul General Collins.
The cable reports say that 1t "created

brief part of it which finds its way

easily do that. Coming so soon after
the speech of Ambassador Bayard be-
fore the Savage club, which breathed
the spirit Of an almost abject desire for
peace, the more robust strain of the
Kentuckian's oratory is undeniably' re-
freshing.

added. probably with Bayard in mind:

The Disbarr ment of Mr. Smith.

We venture to assume that everybody
concerned regrets most keenly the
necessity which yesterday impelled the
disbarrment of Cornelius Smith, esq.,,
from future practice in the several
courts of Lackawanna county, the rul-
ing judges probably most of all. The
gentleman thus affected has been for
years prominent and an able attor,
ney, who numbers among his personal
friends many citizens in all parts Of
the county. To single him out for the
discipline IF extreme penalty was, we
imagine, no welcome task, nor do we
believe that it was decided upon with
out long and lenient consideration on
the part Of the men within whose juris-
diction the power of disbarrment lies.
But that they could consistently or
conscientiously have done otherwise
than they did, when brought to the final
decision, we cannot regard as possible.
1t must be remembered that the provo
cation which Mr.. Smiti: has given for
this action dates its beginning back
into the considerable past and from
that beginning proceeds toward the
present in not simply arithmetic but
fairly geometric progression. 1t COW
ers such variety and range of unsup-
ported accusations derogatory alike to
the bench and to the bar of Lackawan-
ma county that there was left within
judicial option only the one recourse
Of making 1t by rule OF court hereafter
impossible for MIR. Smith to invest with
the privilege Of attorney his random
hGllucinatiors respecting the integrity
Of this court.
Whether the rule Of disbarrment can
be carried up on appeal or not we do
not know. In any event. the dignity
Of this court stands none too soon pro-
tected from intolerable assault.
