Repudiation.
Repudiation is always plausible and
often so subtle In Its deadly aim as to
present it even iu inviting garb
Sometimes it flings Its poison over a
whole community, ns it did in Alle
gheny a quarter of a century ago, and
sowed dragons' teeth in the fertile po
litical soil that was fallowed by dema
gogues, from which they have reaped
many times in bitterness, as the min
der and destruction of the present year
so fearfully attest. Now it breaks out
in Virginia under the specious title of
"adjustment," meaning to rob honest
creditors to the heart's content of the
debtor and paying the balance. Iu
Minnesota it took the manly hape of
Hat refusal to pay, and the people
saved a dollar or two each by voting
an inell'acable stain upon the escut
cheon of their infant Commonwealth
It had a feeble eruption recently iu
"NVilliamiport, where, after .enjoying
the fruits of municipal progress for
years, some ofllciuls and citizens
sought fame by refusing to pay the re
peatedly accredited bonds of the city
The contracts had been made with all
the ceremony of law; had been exe
cuted in honest faith so far as any re
cord declares; the Interest had been
paid and bonds retired in the sinking
fund regardless of the numbers they
bore above the alleged legislative limi
tation, and these tilings had been done
by some of the very officials who sub
sequently plunged into the mire of
repudiation. Hut the factious thorni
ncss that so often diverts little cities
and progressive villages in the strug
gles of those who would rule muuici
palities but fail to rule themselves, hud
its worshipers in Willianisport, and
repudiation was adopted as a line of
warfare by some who knew better, and
followed by others whose ignorance
und easy virtue made them willing to
have anybody but themselves pay their
honest debts. A technical legislative
limitation of the debt of the city to
two hundred thousand dollars, was
pleaded as the pretex for repudiating
four hundred thousand dollars of
bonds which were issued and sold
largely in the open market, and (he
proceeds received and appnmriutedby
the city. There was no proposition to
pay in any other form, but it was an
undisguised effort to defraud innocent
creditors under color of law. Judge
Ehvell, before whom the ease was
tried below, delivered a careful and
exhaustive opinion sustaining the va
lidity of the bonds, and tho Supreme
Court has affirmed his decision. The
opinion delivered by Justice Paxson
was elaborate and doubtless covers the
whole ground of proper admonition to
municipalities as to the creation of
debt; but it settles one principal that
is most vital that the people who se
lect their own agents must be bound
by their acts if at all within the scope
of their lawful powers, "When the
text of the decision of tho court of
last resort conies to hand, it will doubt
less demand the attention of the press.
For the present it is enough to know
that repudiation has no resting-place
in the judicial deliverances of Penn
sylvania. E. K. Thompson, Druggist and
