From the Carbondale Herald.

From TIE Carbondale Herald.
An affair similar 10 that OF Dunmore,
only less disastrous id its consequences,
occurred in the Providence portion OF
Scranton Monday night. II is sad com
nentary on the boastei nineteenth CEN
tury civilization that such riots occur,
IL Is a reelection on the authorities. of the
city or Scranton and the county of l.ackg-
wanna that such a-riot could have taken
place within their borders. Either this
man Buthven has right to make these
ut;e:ances which excite men to riot, or
he has not. II he has a right then he
should have been pracctcd in il, ana Il
force of officers sufficient to overawe the
mob and kesp it from lawlessness should
nave been provided IT, on the other
hand, his utterances are unlawful and
RuthveT is a nuisance. then il is the duty
OF the police to suppress him.
The Dunmore and Providence mobs can
be said 10 represent nobody. The inteih-
discount snance che acts of the rioters.
Intsllgent citizens recognize the fact
thatthis Is not the time nor the place for
riots Tor the sake Cf religion or anything
else, The law is supposed to be broad
enough to right all wrongs. Those who
have grievances can tind redress IN the
courts, and are not supposed TO resort
to pistol bullets and briokbats.
Tire short sighte dDess and limited in-
tciligence of the rioters is shown by, their
acts, for nothing is better calculated to
give credsnce to Ruthven than the acts OF
violence which are perpetrated against
him. A dignifed dcmGInor. totally ignor-
irg him, would soon place him where he
belongs-in oblivion. He feeds on the an
ger he eNCitos. and prospers on the vio-
leace of others No one is more happy
than he when his vilsness produces open

Responsibility of Bankers

A decision of far-reachins moment to
those concerned in banks or banking
has been delivered by the United States
Supreme court in what is known as the
Meadowcroft case. The Meadowcroft
brothers were shown to haye accepted
deposits in their bank but a short time
before the bank closed It's doors. 1t
was argued by the prosecution that this
action came within the scope of, the
criminal law, sinee Il banker ought to
know at all times the condition of his
bank, and especially its safety or un-
safety as place of deposit. The con-
victed mems lawyers based their ap-
peal to the Supreme court upon the
plea that the law "placed restriction
upon the banking business which, 1t be-
Ing akin to the grocery and dry goods
trades. was an unlswful discrimina-
tion."
The Supreme court has overriden this
objection and established an important
precedent by declaring that banking.

state is not legally warranted To- throw
some safeguards around such an insti-
tutiCn, the rights of the depositors-
uron whom the banks are so largely

ing. The luckless depositors might
easily become the prey of the first ad-
ventures who opened an office and
hung bankers sign in the window.
when Il man commits a crime or
violates an ordinance the law intends
that he shall be punished, no matter
what his influence or wealth. Unfor
tunately, however. in the needlessly
protracted court processes in vogue in
this country, there have been notable
instances wherein influential culprits
by means of constant postponements
and the interposition of technicalities
have been able to lessen their just pun
ishment or evade it altogether. For
these reasons the decision which the Su
preme court has made in the case of the
Meadowcroft brothers is particularly
gratifying. 1t will tend 10 some oX-
tent TO restore public confidence in the
ability Of the courts to deal out jus
ticc with an impartial hand and to
overcome the obstacles placed in the
way by offenders who are able to carry
their cases to the extreme limit of

Stand by PENNSYLVANIA.

The announcement of the eminent
Philadelphia manufacturer. Hamilton
Disston. who was recently elected one
of the national delegates from the Sec
ond congressional district. on what at
the time was generally regarded rs an
anti-Quay ticket that he ''is a Penn
sylvanian and as such will be for Sen
ator Quay as long as he is candi-
date" represents the proper spirit.
This magnificent Republican state,
with its quarter Of "A million Republi-
can plurality. has long enough been
tions of the Republican party. The
time has come when a determined eT-
fort should be made by the Pennsyi-
,vania delegation to secure at St. Louis
such q recognition of the common
wealth as is its obvious and indisput
able due. Such an effort may not be
Immediately successful, but it will at
least establish a desirable precedent
and make Pennsylvanias place more
commanding in future conventions.
The chances that Senator Quay can
be nominated at St Louis are small.
There need b. no attempt to disguise
that fact There Is. however possi-
bility of success. and in politics. more
often than not, 1t is the unexpected
that happens. Twenty years ago no
one expected that NHayes would be
nominated: but the honor came to HIM
on compromise which was no more
to be expected then than similar one
Is to be expected next June. In 1850
the nomination again went to man
who had beforehand fewer apparent
chances of success than Senator Quay
has today. The nomination. of Harri-
son in 1883 was effected by precisely
the same influences which will at st.
Louis be favorable. in contingency,
to Quay--namely, the solid strength of
Mr.. Platt in New York. OF all the
nominations made by the Republican
party since it became national organ
izatlOn, only one. if we except the three
denominations which have been CON
ferred by it in those nearly two-scoIe
years Of its existence, has been fore
seen. Therefore it is within reason
for Senator Gay to remain serious
candidate: and, moreover. his knowl-
edge of the leaders of the party and his
acquaintance with it's active workers
are such as to give him, at a crisis,
more than ordinary strength.
But whether lie be nominated or not,
We submit that the party in this state
will make no mistake in standing. as
long as there is possible chance, by
Pennsylvania candidate The effect
of such course will be not only to r.
unite the party after its recent fac
tional dissensions but also to cstab-
1ish the precedent of unity for Pennsyl-
vania interests at national conven-
tions. No one can tell how soon that
unity may be the means of bring
ing TO our state presidential nomnn-
ton. Certainly it will not lessen our
standing among the Republicans Of
other states to have the knowledge so
forth that we have. after many years
of meek acquiesence in party ostra-
cisn,, resolved at last to stand up for
our rights.

WHAT WE CARE FOR.
From the Chicago News.

FROM lhc tnlCdSp News.
Nobody is surprised 10 learn from Mr..
l0lereWski's manager that the gifted
Polish gentleman with the hasketful of
blonde hair cares not a cent for America;
and nobody save possibly Mr. Paderewski
and his manager, would be surprised to
learn that America cares not cent for
the eminent pianist. Mr.. Paderewski
comes here to make money and no sane
person ever dreamed of assigning another
motive for his coming. On the other
hand, America gives Padcrewski money
be ecause he has kuack of pounding tho
piano which Americans admire and are
willing to pay for, just as they are willing
to pay to see Mr.. Sandow lift n horse.
What the opinion of Messrs. Raderewskl
and Sandow may be about the Roentgen
rays or the currency question or any 9TH
er subject under the sun aside from piano
playing and horse lifting is something
that nobody would think of inquiring
about.
