NEWS, SUNDAy, MARCH so, 1904. ill THE FIELD three voters met, made out tlifc credentials for a Hartman delegate, and tie'tris adjourned, to the outspoken disg-ist and indignation of dozens of Voters, 'who left occupations long before 6 o'clock on purpose to vote. Is it any wonder, under these circumstances, that the nominees of conventions are such as they are, and for these conditions the taxpayer are entirely responsible, as in their bands alone is the remedy. lAs it is, their Indifference to methods that create the conditions which are to deplorable.

Our handsome friend, Scott, surnamej "colonel" by courtesy only, would liks the nominatiin, and to tell the truth, -the "boys" have forgiven him much, and some think there is much to forgive.

Vet eome of them have a kindly feeling for him, for, although erect, martial ind aristocratic in bearing, he is at least- approachable, bendable and genial. But if the ex senator wants to run again he must relinquish a highly remunerative position, as the DnponU say they will not have divided interests, and their dictum is as the laws of the Medea and Persians, finad and indexible. Cyrus Weiss, George JWellyn, et al together with the two candidates for the legislative nomination, seem to be the only live, active agents in the fight this week. Their allegiance is dirded an 1 proves the adage "that politics make strange bedfellows." What about Judge Wheaton being the nominee of the State convention, and being "catapulted" (apology to Mr. Quay, being infringing on hU copyright), on the bench of the Supreme Court? Well, the interest in his behalf is not as keen as it was "before the flood;" in fact, as the doctors say.

the public pulse is below normal, the hurrah point has pasfd, and the "sober second thought" predominates. The "boys" are asking pertinent questions and they are not being answered satisfactorily. They want to krow what the judge has ever done for those who willingly offered their services and elevated to a ten year job at a good salary, increased lately by a 50 per cent, advance. The workers in the party are askinj what he has ever done for the jiarty. None of them, they say, were considered when jail appointments were made, and yet Mr.

Wheoton was, and is, one of the tliree Republican judges. Nothing came of the effort to have some needy, worthy, hard-working and loyal Republican Appointed as a tipttave, yet, Mr. Wheaton was, and is, one of the appointing judges and a dispenser of patronage.

Vive le rci. It is a ttaj cry from March, the month of discomfort, disaster and bluster, to bleak November, and yet ihi the injudicious interim lixed by two cr three ieonspiC-" Uou diwrdited politicians, betwetn the to rocrrow (Monday) and the possible election cf a legislative candidate eve months from now. This long interval was arranged for against the advice of men of knowledge and discret'on; egainst the sentiment of staunch workers in the party rinks; ngiint the vigorously cxpressel opinion of party organs; against good judgment and party precedents. End only in the interest of one candidate and lit the mshgUion of two or three men, the chief of whom is that Methostopoles of politics, whose first Hume is' Cyrus and who his the ambition to be, also, king, although not of the Persians. As this uncrowned, arbitrary political agent back of the press muz-rling candidate, history may repeat itself, and as in the school director fight, Hart-nan like Anderson, may be defeated, even If nominated, timplv to get even with as not only the party workers are tired and disgusted with his unreliability and dark and devious political ways, but the part of the public who know him will hail his defeat as a great victory iof leanneFB iia Troniy- -in pt 1 i i i ii ftics.

Will not these facts make for defeat to the two persons mot interested? Unquestionably, as it will give the oppo-aite party a splendid opportunity, in that ft will have months and months to attack the weak points and 'record of the said too previously nomiitIed candidate; tear Mm to piec? wherewir vulnerable, array tile press and the friends of the presj againtt him. and concentrate opposition by reason of his vote in favor of ctfr-tailin the freedom of the press. Never was there nch an opportunity for the newspapers to show the mighty leverngj of their profession; never such a (hanee to demonstrate whether or not they create. mould 'or sway public opinion. WJ11 they do this? Will they stiultify This is the question that interests a multitude of not only the read Ing public, who support the views of th's paper, but the patrons of all the papers hi the State.

Will our editorial writers frasp tnis opportunity to prove their assertion of public power and influence, or will they supinely, abjectly, take orders and swallow their compunction and outraged pride of profession and "Ri'ilv 'round the flag" of Sol. iBacharach ml Cyrus Weiss? The question is a vital and will put the press on recorl. They are seeking renomination to the Legislature, who have bren and are members of the assembly. Hartman, of tke First District; Ross, of the Second, nd Lourie Holcomb, of the Third, and T1 of them are "tarred with the same tick;" all of them voted for the libel kill; all voted without much persuasion cohenden; willingly, yes ghd'y, vociferously placed themselves on record to not enly minimize the legitimate in lluence of the pres, but effectively to prewt and stifle its independence. The ole object of leg'isdaticn being to pie-Tent the exposure of flagrant wrong, corruption in higa places and mitappropria-, tlon of public fund.

Will the thinking, Hberty-loving public stand for it? Will they endorse the nomination of such men to represent their interests in 1h? co-ordinance branches of onr Legiflatiule? Will they vote for nuch men as fit to be the exponents of the popular will? Vox pop'j'i; vox is a quotation aptly nsed when the r.oaple are aroused to latrcmaouj acts, and attempt needed and mighty reforms; when freemen strike and great crisis are to be considered. And this is the rallying cry to-day. The protestations of outraged communhio who want better condit'ori''. Principles are involved in the present issue and conviction are moving the people and w'll prevail, these convictions are right wfcen they take issue between a free and conservative pre5 and a mera "gang," bent on corrupting the ballot box, the delegate, the voter. Well light exclaim with the immortal Bard of "To what base uses are we eorae?" But I have wandered from my text.

'The King is dead. Long live Kin." One by one the senatorial bee are reluctantly turning from the stored up hive of honey. One by one they are dropping out of the race, "unwept, unhon-ored and suneing." First, Hartman saw the "handwriting on the wall," recognized the tough, prcpositioi of contenting for a prise, against the Taudible ambition of new and "young Lochinvar" in th; Old, in the pir-wn of Hammering Then Pniry cannst be into eren ao wtre6in of d-ire as to whether be ub2g a renomination, for be, too, 14 PUBLIC and clerks Ware, show you thel TWO P1TTST0N ROBBERIES UPPER END OF THE CITY VISITED BY BURGLARS AND AS USUAL THERK ARE NO ARRESTS. On Saturday morning the store of Thomas F. Cody at Upper Pittston, was entered, by some unknown persons, but fortunately very little was taken.

Entrance was gained, it is thought, about 5 o'clock, through a rear window that hai not been locked. The store was hastily gone through and some small change, amounting to lens than a dollar, taken. The burglars then helped themselves to soft drinks and a -lunch, which they seemed to have eaten quite leisurely, after which they departed, leaving no traces. Nothing except the money and the eatables have been missed by the family. The store of Alex.

McCormaek, at the corner of Union and Main streets, was entered yesterday morning, probably-by the same persons who entered Cody's. They were not detected and succeeded in getting away with two boxes of cigars and a large box of cigarettes. It is thought that the perpetrators of this petty thievery are boys, as they took articles which usually strongly appeal to the juvenile mind, candy, pies and cigarettes. No one seems to have any idea as to who the gang is. WAR ON THE "GROWLER" 'Saloon keepers who are in the habit of supplying the "growler" trade, or in other words, sellling been in buckets or pitchers to children sent by their parents are running a great risk of losing their license.

This is -a serious offense under the license law and a number of saloon men have been advised privately that the Law and Order League will keep a strict lookout for such offenders and have them punished accordingly. The law does not iprohibit selling in such cruantities to adults but it is very explicit and stringent against gelling in any quantity or form to minors, hence the determination of the Law and Order League to break up the pract iceby a strict en orcement-of hat section of the law. A word to the wise should be sufficient. BERNARD CAWLEY INTERRED The funeral of Bernard Cawley, late supervisor of Hanover township, was held this morning at 9:15 o'clock from his late residence at 23 Spring street.
