Railroad Stations.

Is tia reasonable regulation of rail
road company to keep its station open
only from O'Clock III the morning 10
6 o'clock at night in village i'll which
there are but so inhabitants: This qucs-
ton has just been answered i'll the
affirmative in the courts of Indiana at
circuit and upon appeal. A passenger
had bought return ticket, which be
was required to have stamped at such Il
station before it would be receivable
for his homeward trip. He neglected to
apply at the station for this purpose
until after p. M, when the Office had
been closed for the day, and he insisted
that under those circumstances the con-
ductor was bound to accept his ticket
upstamped, as it was unreasonable not
to keep the station open longer. The
courts. however, were unanimously Of
the opinion that IL hours q day afford
ed the passenger an ample opportunity
to present his ticket and that the rail
road could not be required to keep its
station at such a village open day aud

Colored Designs on Glass.

Leon Lemal proposes to color glass,
not throughout the mass nor il enamel
fashion, but by what he calls penetra-
ton. y little silver salt is put Oh the
surface CT the glass, which is then heat
ed up to 500 or $50 degrees c. $3.50 or
1,OOOF.). Tie excess CT salt having been
removed, the surface appears yellow,
the colcr penetrating to 4 depth Of II
millimeter when the baking has lasted
for about five minutes. After an hour a
layer of double that thickness would be
colored. After is hours the color would
have penetrated through glass plate
I.6 millimeters Ga sixteenth of an inch)
in thickness. In reflected light this yell
low displays beautiful ereenish or
blush fuorescr-ce. The intensity Of
the coloration depends, of course, upon
the quantity of salt applied, but very
minute quantities suffice. To transfer a
lace pattern on elass-e. g., it is only
necessary to dip the lace i'll .O01 So
luton of silver nitrate and then into
potassium sulphide. According to La
Nature Of July II, colored monograms
can easily be obtained i'll this way, and,
what is still more interesting, ordinary
collodion negatives can be printed on
glass III various colors. Silver and cop
per give a red Gold and iron salts have
also been used. When the baking is con-
tinred fer long period, the coloring
matter is renewed from time to time,
say every six hours. The observation
has scientific interest as we'll. The
rate of penetration would probably de-
pend upon the nature of the glass and
upon the atomic volume Of the metal.

cratic state convention. His candi-
dacy had the cordial support of the
masses of his party as was shown in
the extraordinary vote which he sub
sequently received. Yet Schadt, hold
ing office in gift from Judge Smiths
friends, by virtue Of that office rep
resenting himself as a spokesman Of
the Democracy of Jackawanna, goes
out of his way to deliver a blow at his
fellow-townsman and fellow Democrat;
a cowardly blow, such as even faction
al bitterness would not excuse.
What was Schadt's objection to
Judge Smith? What was his objec-
ton to Burke? What was his objec-
tion to Duggan? Why did he decline
to help Mcdonald? why is his whole
career in politics strewn with evidences
of disloyalty to fellow Democrats of
Irish descent? Can the Irish-Ameri-
cans of Lackawanna support such a
candidate or indorse by their votes his
present set-up in county politics?

"Concerning ADVERTISING -

Elsewhere appears an interesting
communication from an enterprising
local firm of clothiers, Messrs. BovIo
and Mucklow, criticizing the daily pa
pers Of Scranton (mention is made in
the letter of The Tribune only, but the
criticism offered applies to all. for
printing an advertisement, Offered in
the regular course Of business and paid
for, by firm of clothiers characterized
by the local firm as fakirs. We publish
the letter, not at advertising rates but
tor nothing as we would any criticism
or legitimate public interest properly
signed for publication; but at the same
time we think our correspondents are
not quite fair in all that they say.
We take it that our critics would sell
suit OF clothes to any man who
wanted 1t and had the price, without
regard to whather he paid taxes In
Scranton, Wilkes Barre or Tinbuctoo
Advertising space in a newspaper is a
commodity on the same footing. We
believe that it is the duty Of Scranton
buyers to sustain our regular home
merchants and we are in favor of maxi
ing transient dealers pay a round Ii
cense tax in lieu of the regular mer-
camille tax imposed on stationary busi-
ness men. If any transient dealer
comes into town and misrapresents or
cheats the people there is redress at
law, or If not, proof OF it supplied 10
The Tribune will be followed by prompt
exposure. But is it fair to expect the
papers OF the city to refuse all cash
offers of advertising matter calculated
to increase local competition? Such a
rule would not only close the door to
newcomers but also cut out all foreign
advertising, making it impossible for
any newspaper of any pretensions TO
exist in this city.
We do not know the merits or de-
merits of the firm to which our cor
respondents allude: but we do know
that the regular, fair dealing local
firms, among which we gladly accord
our correspondents a prominent place
are quite likely to withstand success

long run thrive on it,

Stand by the Party.

The continuance in the local field of
three Independent candidates asking
for Republican support in order to
strengthen the Democracy will not in
our judgment affect the result of next
months polling; but it is at least de-
serving of casual notice
When Mr.. Okel's name was pre-
sented to the recent Republican con-
yention the gentleman who made his
nominating speech assured his hear
ers that Mr.. Okell and his friends,
whether successful before the conven-
tion or not, would Loyalty abide the
conventions decision and give their
best support to the regular party NOM
inees. We believe he spoke then in
good faith. Why has this promise not
been kept?
The applause which greeted these re-
marks of Captain Moir at the time of
their deliverance indicated that he
spoke words which with earnest and
sincere Republicans are always popu-
lar. 1t is a well-established fact that
the great majority of voters in any
who, at the primaries, in the conven-
ton or at the polls, accepts victory
modestly or bears defeat philosoph-
ioally.
On the other hand, when a candidate
enters a convention agreeing to abide
its result and afterward takes the field
against its nominees 1t just as surely
subjects his course to criticism if no;
lied explanation of the reasons which
have prompted these three gentlemen
to run stump against the regularly
nominated ticket of their party, and
therefore must conclude that they have
yielded to unwise advice or else could
not endure with manly equanimity the
Vicisstudes of politics.
But whatever the motives of Mr..
Okell and his associate boilers NAV
be, the impropriety of their course
from party standpoint is obvious.
They went into convention as Repub-
hcans, was fairly and squarely de-
feated, and now refuse to abide bv
the party's action. This is not manly
Republicanism, and no Republican yot-
er who places party welfare above per-
sonal prejudice can indorse it, In such
a situation it is clearly the dutv of
every Republican whose Republican
ism rests solidly upon principle to
stand by his party.

SIGNS.

The melancholy days are here;
The signs are everywhere,
The woodland leaves are turning sere,
And fluttering through the air.
The cricket chirps its mournful lay
Beneath the window sill;
The buckwheat field is turning gray
Upon the distant hill;
A dreamy silence seems to spread
Ger all the country side:
The flowers that bloomed, alas! are dead,
Their petals scattered wide,
But cen without such signs as these
The hills immersed in haze,
The turning leaves upon the trees
We'd recognize The days.
For now the agile college men"
With hanks of hair TO spare,
Are on the campuses again
And raising hades there:
They're roisting flags and rushing canes
And also hazing some,
And elsewhere showing that their brains
Continue out Of plumb.

Schadt at WiIliamsport.

The continued silence of the Times
justifies the conclusion that it's pres
ent candidate for sheriff. Mr.. Schadt,
was the same man who two years ago
went to the trouble to get substitute
credentials in order that he might go
to Williamsport in a capacity TO do
mischief to the candidacy of Hon. p.
p. Smith for a seat on the Superior
court bench.
Think of the meanness OF such an
act. Here was Mr.. Smith already
with an Endorsement from his party
in Lackawanna county, seeking fairly
and openly an honor from the Demo.
