 Ex-Senator Bruce. of Mississippi,
 must have been born under q whole galaxy of lucky stars Three times he has been register of the Treasury. under different Presidents. His life is one of romance. He was born in old Virginia, far back in 1841. His ances- tors were slaves, and he was born in bondage. and yet this negro boy. member of a despised race, acquired university training, went back to Mis- issippi, and became a planter, and in the course of time represented that great commonwealth on the floor of the United States Senate--the only coIorcd man who has ever held the dignified office of Senator. No one can appreciate the test this man was Senate Chamber The majority of the Southern Senators treated him with contempt. and in the minds of many Northern members there was q doubt as to whether he properly appreciated the duties and dignity of the office he
 WAS trying to fill And yet in a short time he won the respect of majority of the members of that chamber Courteous and kind, ever mindful of the rights of others. a master of his subject when he took part in debate, it must be said of Bruce, in all fair ness, that he lived up to the full meas ure of his office. He is the recent ap- pointee of President Mckinley for Register of the Treasury which posi- ton he now holds for the third time. Under the circumstances he is one of tlle remarkable nlen of the irne.

A bill has been introduced in Con- gress by Representative Catchings of Mississippi amending Section 73 Re vised Statutes, so as to take away the privelege of appeal, on haDeas corpus actions to the Supreme Court, from persons convicted of capital crime. This will shut off those who would follow the tactics that have been used in the Durrant case to keep him on top of the earth.

Had President Mckinley followed the example of his immediate pre- decessor, who rarely finished one of his messages to Congress until the day I.efors- Congress met, his message would not have been ready, but he completed the message a week ago and did not have that on his mind while travelling to the bedside of his stricken mother, from which he re turned to Washington to perform the duties incumbent upon him at the opening of the session of Congress. As soon as those duties were perform ed he started for Canton again, to perform a more painful duty, carrying with him the sorrowful sympathies of the whole country.

cnurcn. The baIIowed time of
the week, in village or city, is the
hour of worship, and the long
lines of church goers are on their
way to hear the sermon and en-
gage in the service. On the
streets which these professions
pass there is not the crowd of
dirty loafers sometimes to be seen
on the week days. Those who
usually compose it have skunk
away to more congenial surround
ings. Even among infidels the
church goer is respected. The in
fidel, if he is an intelligent one, is
secretly glad of that which does
more than all else to protect his
home and enable him to entertain
and promulgate what he, in his
infidelity, is always prating about
liberty of speech.
That father Tor mother), how
ever busy during the working
days, who INDUCES the idea that
they may remain at home from
church on Sunday morning, has
misconceived life in an important
particular. In the first place
they have withdrawn their sup
port from a great public good.
This is disgraceful and embarrass-
ing enough, as they can not pos
sibly have substitutes, but it be-
comes doubly and particularly so
when it is considered that there
are, in their own homes, young
people who will be directly in
fluenced by such Sunday slothful-
ness and want of moral purpose.
These are points considered
apart from the personal loss one
who eschews church going has,
but they are none the less
weighty. All honor to the church
goer, even if he is often impelled
to go by duty alone.

tion of the bonded debt of the borough.
As you are aware we have been collect
ing for several years past a tax aver
aging two mills for the payment of a
debt of $4,000, contracted ten years
ago, which we agreed to pay at the
rate of $1,000 a year. Under this
agreement the last of our bonds
should have been redeemed four years
ago. AS it is there are still outstand-
ing bonds amounting to $1,000 on
which we pay six per cent. interest
We have paid, in interest alone, since
the maturity of the bonds, at least
$500 and if we continue cancelling the
debt at the rate of the last five years
we shall have paid as much more.
1t would seem to be the best policy
on the part of council to cancel this
debt as speedily as possible. This can
be done, l think, by the exercise of a
little economy and by devoting the
money thus saved to the wiping out of
the debt.
/ also believe that our system of road
work could be improved. While l am
not now in a position to suggest a
plan for its reform, l promise to inves-
tigate the plans in operation elsewhere

MARSHAL SHEA'S
SUCCESSOR NAMED
He Is John Walters, Son of an Ex.
Sheriff of Luzerne County.
THE RESIGNATION OF Mr.. SHEA
1t Was Placed in the Hands of Mar
shall John w. Walker, Who Is Now
in the City--Detectives Michael
Roche, of This City, Applicants for
the Office.

The exclusive announcement of The
Tribune that Deputy United States
Marshal John j. Shea was about to re-
sign was verified yesterday by Mr..
Shea placing his resignation in the
hands of Marshal John W. Walker, of
Erie, who was in the city for the
joint purpose of opening and adjourn
ing the session of United States circuit
court scheduled for Monday in this city
and of receiving Mr.. Shea's resignation
and appointing his successor.
The resignation itself contains no
reason for Mr.. Shea's retirement from
the office. 1t read simply as follows:
Scranton. March l, 1897.
To John W. Walker, United States Mar
shall Pittsburg.
| hereby tender my resignation as depu-
ty United States marshal, to take effect
March 5. Respectfully yours,
John ]. Shea.
To a Tribune reporter Mr.. Shea gave
out that the office was not sufficiently
remunerative to warrant him giving to
1t the time it's duties demanded. He
also says that the work is not as con-
genial as could be desired by a man
who wants to make friends instead of
enemies.
The Tribune's announcement that the
office of deputy marshal would soon be
seeking a man caused a vertable host
of candidates to spring up in both coun-
ties and no less than a dozen aspirants
besieged Marshal Walker with applica-
tions and long-tailed petitions. De-
tectives Michael Moran, of Carbondale
and d. p. Roche, of this city were
among the seekers for the plum ano
several well known Wilkes Barre sleutf
hounds were also said to be on the hunt
for it.
Their endeavors went for nought
however, for when the time for appoint
ment came p Sheriff Robinson, Post
master Vandlng and Marshal Walker
got together and in very short order
filed the position. The lucky man is
John Walters, Of this city, son of eX
Sheriff Walters, of Luzerne county.
