THE announcement last week by
General Frank Reeder of his candi-
dacy for Governor, before the com
ing state convention, has injected a
new force in the situation. Phe re-
publican voters of Pike will have no
voice in expressing their preference
among the several candidates now
in the field, because the delegate.
under the old and absurd system,
was elected last October, long before
it was known who might be aspi-
rants, No doubt our delegate will
desire to express the wish of the ma
jority of the republicans in Pike by
his vote in the convention, but the
rather late announcement of Gener-
al Reeder leaves little time to gather
an expression of opinion of voters,
as between those who are now can
didates. One of the chief advan-
tages of our new rules will be that
by holding an election after all the
candidates are announced, the re-
publicans will be enabled to send a
delegate to the state, and district
conventions, who can express the
sentiment Of the majority in the

Now RalIroad Planned.

There is ID be another railroad
from the Lackawauna Valley to
New York City. 1t will be built by
local coal operators mainly, who
contend that the rate for carrying
anthracite coal to tide water by the
present coal carrying roads is so
heavy that the individual coal oper-
ators Of this part of the coal fields,
at least, are heavily handicapped.
The new railroad company will be
known as the New York, Wyoming
& Western Railroad, and has al
ready applied for a Charter. The
officers are E. B. Sturges, president: !:
L. A. Watres, vice-president Thos.
E. Jones, secretary; Thomas H.
Watkins, treasurer; Joseph J. Jer-
myn, j. J Williams, C. D. Simpson,
John Jermyn, ]. N. Rice, John N.
Kemmerer, o. S. johnson, William
Conneli and w. G. Payne. All of
these men are from Scranton except
Mr.. Payne who resides in Kingston.
The shortest line from Scranton
to New York is IA miles, and the
new road, it is expected, will decrease
that somewhat. The output of coal
controlled by the operators repre-
sented in this company is about eight
million tons They believe that by
owning the road the freight tolls will
be decreased 50 materially as to en-
able anthracite coal to compete more
favorably with bituminous in and
about New York.
Atpresent bituminous- coal is car
ried to New York, a distance of 300
miles, for seventy cents per ton,
while from Scranton to New York
the rate for rcarrying anthracite coal
is 81 e0per ton.

EDITORIAL.
GENERAL REEDER'S CANDI-
DACY.

DACY.
THE newspapers of the state began
speculating last week, when Reeder
announced himself a candidate, as
to the real lnwardness of the move.
There seemed to be a widespread
impression that it was first step
of Senator Quay and his friends
to withdraw w. A. Stone and con-
centrate on Reeder. 1t is argued
that Quay desiresReeders vindication
and also that he fears Stone might
bring disaster TO the party. Some
hint that he is afraid that w. H.
Andrews by controlling Stone would
become too formidable person in
the state and might make him
trouble in his reelection to the Sen
ate and that he could better stand
hostile administration, like that of
Hastings is alleged to be, than to
have one of his former Chief Lieu =
tenants become supreme in state
affairs.
The Easton Free Press says
whether there is or is not truth in
the reports that Quay intends to
support Reeder and on that it is
not informed-"onet thing is certain
and that is that General Reeder is a
bona fide candidate for Governor. "
We may assume that it speaks with
authority, and that there is good
reason why the General should
have deferred his anouncem ent
until a seemingly late day, and until
after the claim is made, and not Sc
riously disputed, that w. A. Stone
has enough delegates, with those
that can be certainly controlled by
Senator Quay, to render his nomi-
nation snre. We are not of those
who think General Reeder needs
any vindioation. If his act in sign
ing the indemnity bond, and this is
the only fault we know complained
of, and was the reason given for his
resignation from Governor Hastings
cabinet, was perfectly justifiable
under the circumstances, there is
nothing to vindicate. If it was not,
the offense, if committed without
sinister motives may be fully par
doned by the people and if the act
was wrong intinsically and Gener-
al Reeder knew it to be so, he does
not deserve to have it condoned.
He may desire a verdict of the people
on his act, and if favorable, consider
tas vindicati on, but we do. not
believe he needs it. He can stand
on his manhood, his uprightness and
fitness for the Office, and ask for the
suffrages of his fellow citizens, with
full assurance that whatever the re
suit, it would arise from either the
belief or disbelief in his integrity to
administer the high office of GovaEn-
or fearlessly with an eye single to
the interests of the people and not
las toolof any political faction.

The vignolo case was continued yester-
day by the examination Of one character
witness and by the placing in evidence Of
the deposition Of John Marshall. now i'm

Marshall swears that In 1895, at the time
George vignolo and his wife were in the
City Of Mexico, upon three different occa-
sions he heard Mrs. Vignolo threaten. her
husbands life, although at none of those
times did he see any weapon displayed. He
also swore that he know Mrs. Vignolo car
ried gun on her person, as he had seen
1t In her possession. The defense and the
people then rested, and Deputy District
Attorney williams arose and hogan the
opening argument for the prosecution at
10:1b q. m. His speech occupied about three
quarters Of an hour, after which Attorney
r. ]. Adcock began argument for the de-
Tense. His address occupied nearly three
hours, and then Gen. tombstone Jones
