Dewey for President.

All kinds of propositions are made
IN the public press to honor the
victor of Manila. After Commo-
dore Dewey has been promoted to
rear admiral, it is proposed to create
for him the rank of Vice Admiral,
and some papers, such as the New
York "Sun,'' go still further, and
propose that Congress and the Presi-
dent shall make Mr.. Dewey all
Admiral, the same as Faragut was.
At the same time with such pro.
positions which will find the enthu-
siastic approval ofthe people, DEM
ocratic papers commence to boom
Dewey as the strongest candidate
for the presidency in 1900. They
remember the successful war heroes
from Washington to Grant, which
all received the highest Office in the
gift of the voters. Dewey as the
next Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent, would take all the wind from
the sails of the Republicans. If
William Mckinley will be re-nomi-
mated especially on his war record,
the Democrats can find no better
candidate, to unite the Democratic
party and defeat the Republicans,
than Admiral Dewey, the hero of
Manila.

The Philadelphia Record. Colonel
Stone says that 'the abuses that have
grown up in the Legislature are neither
the fault of one party nor of the other,
but rather the growth of custom"
This is very cheerful way of looking
at the matter from the standpoint of
the professional politician. But as our
Legislatures are Republican Legisla-
lures, and as that party has refused to
correct the abuses or to visit its con-
demnation upon their perpetrators,
the people will know where to place
the responsibility. Mr.. Stone him
self is candidate for Governor by
permission of the "malign power
which profits by and perpetuates the
abuses of which he lightly speaks as
"the growth of custom" What good
thing can be expected of him ?

The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1898-09-01

AS this article Is being written the
Republican Judicial Conference is in
session at Berwick (Tuesday.) Public
sentiment seemed to have set in so
strongly in favor of James Scarlet as
the Republican nominee on the day
of the convention, that it has been
evident from that time that the party
leaders of this county would be com
PEELED to yield, and to make his nomi-
nation. They may not do it to day,
but they will do it eventually, and
James Scarlet will be the regular
! Republican nominee for President
Judge of this district.
Mr. Scarlet was nominated
Tuesday evening.
There is dispute as to whether
Robert R. Little is the regular Demo
cratic nominee, as will be seen by a
perusal of another article on this sub
ject in this issue. The matter will
get into the court of Dauphin county,
and if Mr.. Little's claim is sustained
ne will be the regular nominee.
If Judge Herring's position is sus.
tanned then he will have Montour
county, Mr.. Little will have Colum-
bia c'unsY, and the conferrees of the
TIVE cQAnties must meet and select a
candidate. Should neither one yield,
there will be deadlock, which may
result in both Democratic candidates
going on the ticket by nomination
papers, and this would be followed by
the election Of Scarlet.
A meeting of the bar has been held,
and a committee appointed to con-
slider the question OF the Judgeship,
and IN case of deadlock between
Herring and Little which would almost
inevitably result in the election of the
Republican nominee, the good Offices
OF that committee could very properly
be exercised in endeavoring to pro-
cure an agreement by the conferrees
on a third man.
The death of Judge Ikeler has so
changed the entire situation that we
cannot see now in what other way a
good lawyer from outside the district,
could be induced to accept nomina-
tlon, and unless the Judicial fight
shall get into this shape, it seems to
US that neither the bar nor its COM
mittee can now do anything to solve
the problem.
THE COLUMBIAN has never changed
its attitude on this subject. 1t be-
iieved from the beginning that it
would be better for the bar and better
for the people, to invite lawyer in
from outside the district. Not be-
cause we have no lawyers who have
the ability to make good Judge, but
in order to prevent the happening of
just what has happened and is happen
ing, scramble for Judicial Office that
adds no dignity to the bench.
But the conditions have so changed
since the primary election, by the
death Of Judge Ikeler, that we confess
now that we can see no way open to
such course except in the event oi
a deadlock between the two Demo
cratic candidates. Should there be a
regularly nominated local candidate
of each party in the field, it would be
impossible to induce an outsider to
run on nomination papers as an inde-
pendent candidate.

 Wallingford, Sept 30.--Fully 800 peo- pie gathered in and around the Holy Trinity church this morning to pay the last tribute and mark of loving re- spect to the memory of Rev. Father Mallon, who has indeed been a father to his flock and townspeople. The at tendance was not alone composed of communicants of the Roman Catholic church. There were present many dis tinguished persons from various parts of the state, and every circle in Wal lingford was very largely represented. Town and borough officials, bank off, cials, school officers, the different cler- gymen and many societies sent delega- tions The church was not sufficiently large to accommodate one-half the crowd.
 The grand and imposing service be- gan promptly on time, the choir singing the Gregorian Mass. which was presid- ed over by Bishop Tierney. During the service Miss Marie Cahill of Meriden sang Luce Ave Maria in Latin with much feeling. Rev. Father Shanley of the Hartford cathedral delivered a grand eulogy on the life of the deceased and paid many touching tributes to his admirable life, which was wholly devot- ed to the advancement of the church. his parishioners and the welfare of the town. His counsel was always to be treasured. Father Shanley held the at

After them came the honor maid, Miss Florence Snider, a sister She was goWned in white organdie worn over turquoise blue silk. Roses formed her bouquet. The bride entered on the arm of her uncle, R. D. Armstrong of New York, who gave his niece away. Awaiting the party at the arch was the brides brother-in-law, Rev. II. c. Thompson of New Jersey, who perform ed theceremony, Rev. Dr. Gilbert of Trinity M. E. church making the pray CT. The bridal dress was of sheer white organdie worn over white satin. Quan- titles of fine lace insertion and tiny ruff fles trimmed the skirt and bodice, and a sash of the organdie made with inser- tion and ruffles confined the waist.

tention of his vast audience when brief ly relating the life and grand work of the dead. At the conclusion Riley Phil lips of New Haven sang "Just As l Am" in very pathetic manner while the procession was being formed, as follows: Father Winters, bearing the crucific, attended by three priests whose home is Wallingford, Fathers Clyne, Laden and Heating, followed by the bier borne by the trustees of the church, W. H. Hassett, James Gaffney, Michael O'Callahan, Dr. w. F. Wilson, Michael Luby, Patrick Clyne, Patrick Cannon and James Wrinn.
 The honorary bearers were followed by the relatives, town, borough, bank and school officials and delegations from the K. of C., Y. M. T. A. B. and l.. society and Hibernian Rifiemen, the latter of which formed a cordon around the vault The body was lowered into the grave by ,the bearers with many tears from the vast assemblage, who will perhaps never look upon any one who had so entwined his life into those with whom he came in contact to such an extent that it seems as though a support and interest vanished with him. Covers were laid for 154 priests in Tenn perance hall.
 The entire exercises will remain fresh in the memories of Wallingford people for many years to come and it is sin cerely to be hoped that it is never called upon to bear such loss again. Much conjecture and curiosity is evinced, however, as to who will be the success sor of the deceased.
 At meeting of the committee ap- pointed by the school teachers held yes terday afternoon a set of resolutions was framed and accepted which were full of esteem and respect and love for one who has, by his kindly interest and wise counsels, ever encouraged the progress of sound education.

A Small Majority in It's Favor, But Not
 Enough to Influence Legislation.
 Montreal, Sept. 30.-Returns received up to noon to-day of the plebiscite taken yesterday throughout the domin- ion on the question of enacting prohi- bition legislation give a majority of nearly 17,000 votes in favor of prohibi- tion. The vote boiled is a small one only about 50 per cent of that cast in a regular parliamentary election.
 Montreal constituencies on light vote gave a majority of nearly 12,000 against prohibition, only one division, St. Antoine, going dry" Quebec, To- ronto, Hamilton, London, Victoria, and Kingston are among the cities which also went against prohibition, while Winnipeg and the principal cities in the maritime provinces voted for prohibit tion. The vote by provinces, so far as received, is as follows:
