THE CRIMINAL LAWS.
Kern Standard: The Legislature
should take a firm hold upon criminal
appeal laws and not loosen its grasp
until the needless delays and techni-
calities are wiped out, SO that a red
handed murderer may be tried, con-
victed and hanged within three or six
months. Other States have laws that
permit such course and it is high time
that California should have them, or
else abolish the death penalty alto

pay for appeals has every chance Of

what reason, except a pacific one, has
she entered into convention with us for

So, while we cannot complain of Eng

her numerous coast commanding and

road, with it's enormous subsidies, and
all the equipments she has in her North
American possessions, we can take
counsel OF her forethought and her
motto that TRADE follows the flag,
and do what we can to provide against
attack, not by England only, but by
any Power; to give ample protection to
our people in all lands; to enable our
ships of war and discipline to outfit at
our own stations, and find naval, war
and other stores at convenient points.
We can increase the number of our
coast Notifications and better the old
ones-in short, we can and should do
just what gives England so much of
her Importance and commands so much
of respect for her flag wherever 1T

ton for the British subject and his
lawful possessions.

For Register of Wills.

When the Republicans of Lackawan-
ma named as their candidate for regis
ter of wills ex-Representative William
X. Beck, of Moscow, they made no
mistake Mr.. Beck has been for years
a veritable Republican war horse, per-
forming service for the party in all its
campaigns and in the main modestly
waving aside subsequent proffers of
reward. He consented, it Is true, upon
one occasion to make the race for legis-
lative honors in the Third district, and
his record at Harrisburg during the
important session of 1884 speaks for
itself; but with this exception the party
has been in his debt rather than he in
the party's. His many friends in all
parts Of the county, and especially his
friends and neighbors south of the
mountain, will therefore find especial
pleasure this fall in according to him
their emphatic support while there is
not in any locality a Republican pro-
Tossing party loyalty who can justify
opposition to him,

A STRONG CANDIDATE.
n the Carbondale Leader.

From the Carbondale Leader.
c. Il. Pryor who has been nominated
by the Republicans for the office of
sheriff of this county will undoubtedly be
the next incumbent Of the shrievalty.
Mr.. Pryor is the peoples choice. He is
one of the best known men in Lacka-
wanna county, and we use the term pest
in every light in which it can be placed.
During the last few years he has had oc-
casion to come into official contact with a
goodly portion of the voters Of the coun-
ty. OF each and every one he has made
a friend at once. His popularity is wide
spread and the place he holds in the
hearts of the people was not won more
by his ever genial disposition than by the
admirable way he has served the public
in the past.
Mr.. Pryor has been a pronounced and
recognized success in q public capacity
and tho ability displayed by him as pro-
thonotary will be taken into the office Of
sheriff. The two Offices are closely allied
and in electing him this fall the people
will reap the benefit of an experience that
guarantees more than creditable execu-
ton of the important duties of sheriff of
such a great county as Lackawanna,
Mr.. Pryor is one of the strongest can
didates ever nominated for an office in
this section of the state, and his election
in November Is already assured.

Nerve.

Who are the ringleaders in the pres
ent campaign to elect Charles Schadt
sheriff and turn the influence of that
office for Democratic candidates in
coming congressional and national
elections? Bryan men, every one. Fitz-
simmons, Schadt's ringmaster,a Bryan
ite of the most radical type; Boand,
Fitzsimmons' right bower, another
Bryanite, who goes in for the Chicago
platform, free silver, Altgeld and all;
Mayor Bailey, the sponsor for Horn,
another Bryanite, and so on down the
list. Not q sound money Democrat is
among them, or, If among them, not
one is trusted by the inner clique. The
whole aim and purpose of Schadts
fight, apart from the candidates per-
sQnal eagerness to capture the reve-
nues of the shrievalty, is to gather
strength for the cementing together Of
a Bryanite local machine, which in
coming campaigns, when the Industrial
and financial interests OF the nation
are at stake, they can utilize for pur-
poses of their own.
These are the men who beat the
heads of the sound money Democrats
at the recent convention, jumped all
over the Lackawanna friends of Will
liam f. Harrity, fired T. j. Duggan off
the ticket because Schadt didn't want
so much Irish on it," and now have
the sublime nerve to pass among these
victims Of their past highhandedness
asking for votes on the score of party
regularity. There isn't a man in the
group who hasn't on his hands the
blood Of some fellow Democrat ruth
lessly slaughtered in past campaigns.
There isn't one who does not smell ia
heaven Of past Jobbery, dlckers and
sell-outs. There isn't one who could
look the shade Of Thomas Jefferson
straight in the face and repress a blush
of shame. And yet these are the mer
who now have the cheek to ask anti,
Bryan Democrats to support theil

cause Of it's alleged regularity.
That is the argument they use now
three weeks before election; but II will
not be a fortnight until you will see

regularity passing the word down the
line to trade the life out of the res

which is disqualification from ever
holding office hereafter. A petition al
leging such serious transgressions
ought certainly to give some facts,
there ought to have been in this petit
tion the names Of somebody that re-
celved money or Of somebody that Of
fered money; there ought TO be some
affidavit from somebody outside of the
AFFIDAVIT on information and belief
which is appended to the petition,
which should establish prima facie at
least a fact which could be inquired
into. But this petition. as / have al
ready stated. is so general, so vague,
so indefinite, and so worthless in my
opinion,as a paper upon which to predi-
cate important action, that It ought to
be quashed on that ground alone"
What shall be said Of the man who
because of his own inability to COM
pete successfully for party nomina-
tion afterward tries to use the court
records as a means for casting unsup-
ported odium. first on his successful
competitor, and indirectly on the whole
party to which he processes allegiance?
What do the voters of Lackawanna
think of such a man and what do they
think Of the tactics he employs? The
answer to this question can best be
read on the night of Nov. in the vote
cast for John r. Jones and the whole
Republican ticket.

IN LOVE WITH HIS WIFE.

From the Washington Post.
1.-THE man who is in love with his wife
is perhaps not so rare a specimen as most
people think, but he does not always
show it in the pretty way that came un-
der my notice few days ago." said the
good-natured clerk at the Hotel johnson.
1T happened this way. A gentleman liv-
ing out in Colorado wrote us that his wife
would be passing through Washington on
her way home from q southern city; to
give her the best room in the house, and
to spare no pains to make her comfort
able. He inclosed a bill to pay for mag
nifcent bouquet of expensive flowers and
also his own card. Well, on the date he
named the lady arrived, and when she was
shown to her apartment, there on the
table stood a lot of roses that any wo-
man in Washington would have envled.
At first she didn't seem to realize that
they were intended for her, but when she
stopped to examine the more closely her
eye fell on her husbands card. Then she
realized what a graceful and thoughtful
act had been done by lin, and the happi-
ness that shone in her eyes was more elo-
quent than words. The kiss that fell on
one of the flowers was undoubtedly vicac-
ious. To my mind little attentions like
this go a long way to make life worth liv-

Judge Edwards Pointed Talk.

The opinion filed by Judge Edwards
yesterday in the Watson case should
be read with care by every voter in
Lackawanna county. Especially do we
commend to the publics attention this
portion Of 1t:
mot only would 1 quash this petit
tion because we have no power or juris-
diction to inquire into the subject mat
ter Of it, because the petitioner does
not allege any iregularity in the cleo
tlon of delegates to this nominating
convention, but / would also quash the
petition because It is so vague, so in
definite, so absolutely void of all spe-
cifc allegations. The candidate whose
nomination is attacked is charged with
one of the most serious crimes known
in our statute books. a crime for which
the constitution makers themselves
have seen flt to prescribe the penalty.

reported 1,61i students; in 1895, S,05i; In
1891, 6,106; in 1891, 1900 Nor has this in
crease been the consequence OF a corre-
spending demand: on the contrary, in
the opinion of Mr.. Edwards, in the Michi-
gan Law Journal, II is safe to say that
approximately 80 per cent. of the ordinary
revenues of the old-time law office have
been cut Off in recent years"
o
In view of facts such as have been pre-
sented II is somewhat dlscouraging to
read the late criticism of a well-known
Columbia college professor: "When ma
chine shops and factories and all the para
phernalia of the applied sciences are Inn
ported into the academic shades, and
when the perfume of the attic violet is
stifled by the stenches of the chemists
crucible, the true purpose of the uni
versity, Is forgotten" The professor s
rhetoric seems better than his Judgment.
AS to what constitutes the true purpose
of a university there is apt to be wide
warped by prejudice as to maintain that
the true purpose of our higher schools Is
to prepare young men for life of mac
tivity. To the outside observer it looks
as though the universities equipped with
"the paraphernalia of the applied sct-
ences" and the "crucible" OF the chemist
are doing better service In educating men
to be mechanics, designers, engineers,
electricians, agriculturists and chemists
than Is being done by those which are
helping to increase the large crop" of
American lawyers.

BITTER AND SWEET.

The apple that grows highest is the best
upon the tree;
The rose that is the most fragrant al
ways has the sharpest thorn;
The pearl that is the purest lies within
the deepest sea;
And the deeds that live the longest are
of hardest efforts born!
The love that's won too lightly Is not
treasured as a gem;
The words that flow freely never have
the greatest weight;
Man appreciates his blessings II he has
TO strive for them
But never knows their value II they're
passed up on plate!

A TALE OF THE SEA.
From the Brazil Nut.

From the Brazil Nut.
Two American captains were recently
relating their experiences on different
voyages. One of them told fhe following
story: about p. m. on March my ship
was proceeding under full sail when a
cloud about the size of a mans hand was
observed on the horizon. 1t came on, and
as it neared the ship We discovered that
it was composed of locusts. They settled
on the sails and you couldn't see a bit of
canvas for them. When they flew away
there was not stitch of canvas left on
the yards" "Ah," said the other captain,
II can quite believe that, for at about $50
p. m. on March 2 my vessel was proceed
ing under full sail when we observed a
small cloud on the horizon. AS it ap-
preached the ship we discovered that it
was a cloud of locusts, and as they passed
our vessel we saw that every man Jack
of them had pair of No. l canvas trous-
ers on"
