STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION. 3 The Scandal Revived. : The revival of the judicial scandal which developed last spring while the validity of the ‘‘ripper’’ legislation was under consid- eration in the Supreme courtis justified because the delinquent in the matter has been forced upon one of the great parties .of the State as a candidate for the office he had disgraced. Ordinarily such incidents in the public life of the Commonwealth ought to be kept in concealment after the -first burst of indignation bas spent itself. Discussion of such'events inspires contempt, both for the law and the agencies of jus- tice. But when a man who has outraged public deceney during a brief tenure of of- fice attempts to obtain a commission for a long term, it is not only right but neces- sary that his faults be exposed. Justice POTTER, serving on the Supreme bench of the State under appointment by the Governor to fill a vacancy. communi- cated the secrets of the court to promote the partisan machine to which he acknowl- edged allegiance. It was a grave offence. A justice of the Supreme court of “the United States declared at the time that he ought to be impeached, and he was right. A justice who would do that would, under similar circumstances, reveal the opinion of his associates on the bench on any question in litigation before the court. Such a thing puts the interests of all litigants in jeopardy. If one of the parties concerned is kept informed of the sentiments of the bench on the case at bar he can bring un- due influences to bear to promote his cause. That Justice POTTER committed this grave offence is beyond question. Both he’and the Governor denied it at the time of the first exposure, but that was only adding falsehood to the other crime. Sub- sequently a law was enacted by the Legis- lature at the instance of those concerned making the exposure of telephone com- munications a misdemeanor punishable by fine or imprisonment. If there had been no culpability there wonld have been no such resentment. That there was culpa- bility is a reason why every lawyer and clean minded layman in the State should vote against the man who perpetrated the offence if he had the temerity to ask a con- tinuance in the office which he had dis- graced. .fustice POTTER is unfit’ for the office he uspires to occupy and ought to be beaten. —— There is no politics in the proposed amendments to the constitution. Their adoption will add no expense to the tax- payers of the State. They are intended only to widen the authority of the Legisla- ture in the enactment of registration and election laws. In fact, their purpose is to authorize the passage of laws that will throw such safe-guards about the elections that the business of the repeaters, ballot box stuffers and false counters will be brought to an end. No matter how much you may he interested in candidates, don’t forget that these constitutional amend- ments are the most important questions you have to settle at the polls. Governor Stone’s Idea. During his speech in Philadelphia on Saturday evening Governor STONE made the remarkable declaration that a District Attorney is simply a prosecuting officer who controls criminal prosecutions and ‘can push them to trial or put them on his political line to dry,” according to his fancy. That was indeed a strange state- ment to come from the mouth of the Chief Magistrate of a great Commonwealth. It reveals not only a lax idea of official duty, but an exceedingly loose code of political morals. It is about the construction which a scurvy politician would put on the term. The office of District Attorney as under- stood by capable lawyers is something more than a public prosecutor. As interpreted by jurists of character and ability it is as much the duty of the District Attorney to shield the prisoner from injustice as it is to protect the State in its rights. When a guilty man is brought before the courts it is the duty of the District Attorney to prosecute him. If an innocent man is ar- raigned on a false accusation it is the duty of the District Attorney to interpose in his behalf. The office is quasi-judicial. It is a part of the judicial machinery created and maintained to conserve the law. But even if the Governor was right in his notion of the character of the office he would be wrong in his conception that the District Attorney may ‘‘push cases to trial or hang them on his political clothes line todry.”” That would imply that he may use the courts justly or unjustly to punish hig enemies or reward his friends. In oth- er words, according to the Governor's no- tion, the District Attorney may try crimin- als or let them go free according to his own inclinations. There never was a more atrocious doctrine asserted. No abarchist has ever pronounced a greater heresy. It shows that Governor STONE is at heart a criminal. —— Suoberibe for the WATCHMAN, BELLEFONTE, PA. Subsidy Momngers Disappointed. The subsidy mongers appear to be get- ting the worst of it on all hands this year. They had two pet schemes to push through the next Congress, but the present indica- tions are that they will be disappointed with respect to both of them. One of these was the ship subsidy bill and the other the Pacific cable. If the national tragey, had not made a change in the office of President, the chances are that both would have gone through and together they would have afforded rich pickings. ‘But the new President, while he may not declare opposition to the ship subsidy is practically certain to refrain from giving it active support and without executive help it is without a chance of getting through. The cable bill will be defeated because JOHN W. MACKEY offers to lay the line as a private enterprise. The backers of the shipping bill will have the measure all ready for presentation to Congress and no doubt Senator FRYE will offer it early in the session. It issaid that all the objectionable features have been eliminated, but that is not true. If proposes to pay unearned bounties to the aggregate of $270,000,000 to the steamship trust out of the the money collected from the people to pay the expenses of the gov- ernment, and that is objectionable. In fact it may he predicted that if all the ob- jectionable features were eliminated the subsidy mongers would not want it at all. The principle upon which all such legisla- tion is predicated is objectionable because it is subversive of just government. Tak- ing money from one man to bestow it on another is unjust and therefore objection- able. That is what the bill aims to do. The situation with respect to the Pacific cable job is both absurd and amusing. For years the subsidy mongers have been pres- sing it on Congress. It is a necessity, they have been saying ever since the acquisition of territory in Asia, and impossible to ob- tain it through individual or corporate ef- fort. It will entail so much loss for a number of years, they have been adding, that no individual or corporation would undertake it and for that reason they have been urging the government to appropriate a large sum of money for the work. But when Mr. MACKEY, who has ample means to finish the scheme, offers to do all that was asked, they protest that he is not will- ing to do enough and therefore he shonldn’s be allowed to do anything. They want a cable to Egypt as well as to Manila, they say, and they protest against giving MACKEY shore privileges to operate the enterprise, and that is all he asks. Bnt they want the government to appropriate hundreds of millions of dollars to do the work under conditions which would give them a rake-off. They are a queer lot and amazingly inconsistent. ——There might be something in the con- tention of ex-state chairman GARMAN as to the regularity of the substitution of Mr. CORAY for Mr. PALM, on the Democratic ticket, by the state committee if the votes of the appointed members from Philadel- phia had decided that action. Unfortunate- ly for Mr. GARMAN’S side it did not re- quire the votes of the doubtful members from Philadelphia. The regularly elected members of the committee did the work and would have done it had there not been a representative from Philadelphia at the meeting. de ted aiid Support the Amendments. The election will be due in a little less than three weeks and thus far no opposi- tion has developed to the pending consti- tutional amendments. But the friends of honest elections should not allow their in- terest in the important question involved to abate on that account. Itis not cer- tain that the opposition will not reveal it- self yet. The QUAY machine will hardly give up the advantage which th2 present loose system of registering voters affords them. Impersonal registration is worth any where from 100,000 to 125,000 fraud- ulent votes to them every year. With personal registration as an essential requisite to the exercise of the franchise in the large cities ballot box stuffing would be made exceedingly difficult, if not actually impossible. The first step in fraudulent voting isa padded registry. There must be a name on the registry list for every vote that is put into the box or an affidavit that registration was neglected. Under the present system one man can register a hundred names, real or fictitious. The registration effected it is an easy mat- ter to get men to offer to vote onithe names for if the name is registered there is little question of the right to vote. But with personal registration it will he difficult. At the time of the registration every voter will be compelled to appear and undergo a strict scrutiny. If there is any doubt or uncertainty as to identity an investigation can be iustituted and when the person claiming the right to vote ap- pears at the election, if he has obtained a place on the registry by fraud, he can be exposed and punished. This will guaran- tee honest elections or nearly so and every advocate of honest elections should sup- port the amendments. Hanna and the President. nis} We learn from current reports in the newspapers that there is a wide diversity of views between Senator HANNA, of Ohio, and. President ROOSEVELT and that in consequence of this fact Senator HANNA intends to resign the chairmanship of the Republican National Committee in the near future. The ostensible point of difference, according to the current stories, is south- ern politics. The President is said to have stated on a recent occasion that he wonld appoint Democrats to office in the South in the event that worthy Republicans were not presented for the places and Senator HANNA is greatly outraged by the state- ment. Senator HANNA learned through his experience in political management that Southern Republicans are a tough lot. His own methods in politics were calculated to give him that impression. He has never been accustomed to waste time in reason- ing. with men who differed with him on corrent questions. He goes to conventions like huxters go to market.. That is to say he takes with him money enough to buy ‘what he wants and what he can’t buy he doesn’t get. In the St. Louis convention at which Senator HANNA made his initial bow in the arena of politics, he bought all the delegates from the South to vote for his candidate. Bat he prefers that kind of Republicans to any kind of Democrats and because President ROOSEVELT . disagrees with him, fellowship between them is to be discontinued. But that is only a part of the reason why HANNA and ROOSEVELT can’t con- tinue in fellowship, and a small part at that. The real reason for HANNA'S deter- mination to hold himself aloof from the President is that the President will not permit HANNA to run things as his prede- cessor did and his senatorial nose is out of joint. The pretense about southern pol- itics is a subterfuge. If ROOSEVELT would consent to allow HANNA to dictate the northern appointments he would ‘‘pipe as meekly as « sucking dove,’’ with respect toappointuients in the South. HANNA is a bigot politically and otherwise but he wants to be a boss. SME Two of a Kind. A Republican exchange comes to the front with the opinion that SETH Low and as reformers and friends of the taxpayer. Come to think about it, this is about so. Both of these gentlemen have been very loud in their professions of reform, neither of them have ever reformed anything. Both have sought office and showed a willingness to accept it under any conditions, whether as the candidate of people who were fight- ing for reform or the candidate of the ring and politicians which need to be reformed. In this matter of reform they are exactly alike. On the tax question there seems to be a singular similarity between them. It is but a few years since President ROOSEVELT was temporarily residing in Washington. terests in New York. He was at the time State for Governor and yet when asked for the taxes due on his New York property— his home, his household effects, his real estate, his horses and carriages and other valuables—in order to evade the payment of these taxes he deliberately swore that he was not a resident of New York and not entitled to pay taxes therein. Only a few weeks ago SETH Low, who is one of the wealthiest men in the city of Brooklyn and the present candidate for Mayor of New York, bad his tax bill pre- sented him. In place of paying them, as a reputable reformer should he set up some technical objection and is now relying up- on the shrewdness of his lawyer to help him escape his share of the burdens that -the local government entails. As mouth reformers and tax shirkers Low and RooSE- VELT are strikingly alike. Undertaking too Much. From the way matters look to one living at a little distance it would seem that Philadelphia reformers and reform papers have about as much as they will be able to get through with this fall in rescuing their own city from the clutches of the machine, without attempting to purify and fix up the government of New York. If they can make Philadelphia half as clean and cor- rect in its municipal government as Tam- many ball has made New York they de- serve a credit that is very likely to be lack- ing. Should they continue their efforts to carry New York for Low at the same time that they are supposed to be fighting AsH- BRIDGE and his gang. Scattered shots sel- dom hit the mark and an effort to ac- complish too much usually fails in ac- complishing anything. Philadelphians should remember that it is their first duty to ‘get out of the mud themselves before attempting to rescue others from a less dangerous and corrupt condition. an TEAR SRI OCTOBER ee 1901.

From the Philadelphia Time Times, Lr 5 The most distinct conclusion thatican be drawn from the Schley inquiry upto the present concerns the .untrust the average human memory. ' This ‘is not a novel conclusion, nor one that needed a court of inquiry to establish it. If any dozen readess of this paper were asked to of May and the beginning of June, 1898, they wonld doubtless vary as widely as have the witnesses before the Court, un- less they acknowledged at once that ‘they did not remember anything abous it. Many of these officers think they remem- ber, but one says the nights were dark and rainy, another recalls the moonlight, and still others give all the variations between clearness and obscurity. Their recollect- ions of the state of the sea during the voy- age is equally varied. They place the blockading fleet anywhere from three to eight miles from shore, some thinking it moved in at night and some that it moved out, and when it comes to the relative pos- itions of the vessels in action they are all at sea. This is not at all wonderful. It is, how- ever, somewhat surprising to find thata similar divergence existed within a few weeks of the engagement at Santiago, so that the navigating officers of the fleet were unable to agree upon the essential features of the action, and they now agree only on one point, that the chart which they drew up and signed was not correct. The plan of the Judge Advocate of pre- senting what he calle cumulative testi- mony concerning the Brooklyn by calling everybody in the Navy who was not on or near the Brooklyn and examining him about what he does not remember, does not greatly impress the impartial student of the proceedings. Beyond discrediting generally the official records, but little pre- cise information has been obtained. We shall probably get more of the facts when it comes the turn of the actual partic- ipants. ————————— There is Danger in Haste, From the Elizabethtown, Ky., News. Anarchy should he suppressed, but in our extreme haste to get rid of these red- nmcuthed scoundrels, we are liable to go to an extreme and pass laws that in the fu- ture may be used to abridge the freedom of the press and the freedom of speech. Any abridgement of the rights guaranteed to our citizens in the Declaration of Independence and the constitution is dangerous to the life of the republic. Suppress anarchy if possible. by law, although it has never been done in the monarchies with ‘the most stringent regulations and statutes, but guard the right of the citizen to advo- cate reforms of any kind and the criticise aud condemn the public acts of our officials both in the forum, upon the stump and the press. There is a Difference. From the Commoner. Some gentlemen calling themselves Democrats who denounced the fusion of Democrats and Populists in Nebraska are working fusion between Democrats and anti-machine Republicans in Philadelphia. Mention is made of it at this time for the purpose of calling attention to the truth of the old adage that ‘‘it makes a difference whose ox is gored.”’ Metallurgical. From the Philadelphia Ledger. About the smallest thing we could do would be to dicker with the brigands over Miss Stone’s ranson. It should be paid in full, with either gold or lead. Anarchist Most Gets a Year. Sentenced for Publishing an Alleged Seditious Ar- ticle the Day After McKinley Was Shot. New York, Oct. 14.—Johann Most, the Anarchist was sentenced to one year in the penitentiary to-day in the Court of Special Sessions, for publishing in his paper the “‘Freiheit’’ an alleged seditious article on the day following the shooting of the late President McKinley. The article was entitled ‘‘Murder Against Murder.’”’ In his defense Most claimed that the paper containing the article was printed and ready for distribution before the President was shot. Also that it was a quotation from an article published fifty years ago and republished by him fifteen years ago. After imposing the sentence Justice Hinsdale read the opinion of the Court in which be said: — “It is no answer to the evil and crim- inal nature of this article to claim that it was written for the purpose of destroying crowned heads. It inculcates and enforces the idea that murder is the proper remedy to be applied against rulers. The fact that it was published fifty years ago and again republished about fifteen years ago, only emphasizes and gives added point to the criminality of republishing it at any time. It shows a deliberate intent to inculcate and promulgate the doctrines of the article. This we hold to be a criminal act. “It is not necessary to trace any con- nection in this article with the assassination of the late President. The offence here in the eyes of the law, is precisely the same as if the bloodly event had never occured. The murder of the President serves only to illustrate and illuminate the enormity of the crime of the defendant in teaching his diabolical doctrine. ‘Such articles aud doctrines have no proper place in this free country. They stimulate the worst possible political ideas and passions, and, carried to their logical conclusion, would destroy the Government. "It was held by a distinguished Judge in the celebrated Somerset slave case, that ‘no slave can breathe the free air of Eng- land.’ “It would be well if the laws of this country were such that it could be said with truthfulness that no Anarchist can breathe the free air of America.’ ”’ Most’s lawyers attempted to gain from the bench a certificate of reasonable doubt as a stay against the excution of the sen- tence, and failing in this, expressed their determination to appeal tothe Supreme | Court. | ess of describe the weather during the last week | right to: Spawls from the Keystone, or -,—Renovo has had several fatal cases of diphtheria recently. —David Evans, of Pittsburg; was Killed by | a train at Potéstown.
