virtue that hauls up the crooked official as

3 Fine Legal _Hair ‘Splitting.
Attorney ' General I CARSON. ‘delivered a
rare legal opinion the: other day. Some of
the leaders of the party, it seems, are con-
stantly striving to evade the provisions of
the fundamental law of the State. Con-
spicuous. among this. ‘number is Captain
JoHN C. DELANEY, chief factory inspector.
I appears that nearly everybody he wants
to appoint to any office in his department
isa member of the Legislature. The fact
that after a great deal of lobbying last win-
ter he ‘got a bill through providing for a
large increase in his force and he may have
promised nearly all the Senators and Rep-
resentatives something; probably has some-
thing to ‘do with it. In any event he
wanted to appoint one Representative to
the position of deputy some time ago. ‘but
the Governor discovered in some accidental
way: that the constitution forbids it, and he
called DELANEY down. Now he wants to
appoint another fo another office and he
got the Attorney General to help him out.
The new applicant for favor is a rather
important fellow and possibly that fact has
something to do with the Attorney Gener-
al’s getting into the game. The chief fac-
tory inspector’ thought his ' Department
ought to have ‘an attorney and the Hon.
‘WARD R, Briss, who has a, wonderful ap-
petite for spoils and a marvelous capacity
for absorbing rake-offs, wanted the job.
There is no law authorizing the appoint-
ment of an attorney for the Department
but that was a trifling matter for there was
no law forbidding the appointment, though
the constitution in Section six of Article
two prohibits the appointment of a Repre-
sentative in the Legislature. ‘No Senator
or Representative shall,”’ ‘is the language
of the clause, ‘‘during the time for which
be shall have been elected, shall be ap-
pointed to any civil office nuder the Com-
monwealth.”” ‘This is explicit and because
of it the Governor prevented the appoint-
ment of Representative RIPP as an inspec-
tor of the pure food bureau.:
When DELANEY wanted to appoint WARD
Briss and Briss wanted to be appointed,
however, the Attorney General was called
into the affair 2nd as the late Captain Cur-
TLE would say he “‘gavé an opinion as was
an opinion.” : That is to say he owned that
the constitution forbids thie'appointment of
R entatis ’ i
fran for the_fack
ment and therefore he can’t make that ap-
pointment. But the constitution doesn’t
declare that a’ "Representative in the Legis-
lature _mustn’s practice law and therefore
factory inspector i DELANEY ‘may employ
Mr. BLiss as attorney for the department
though he mustn’é under any circumstances
appoint him to be attorney for the depart-
ment. That is probably as fine a specimen
of hair splitting as ever was perpetrated in
this broad land and in view of it it is small
wonder QUAY consented to the .appoint-
ment of CARSON to the office in which he'is
now making a donkey of himself.
Perry Heath. is Safe.
The Hon. PERRY S. 8. HEATH, who was
first assistans Postmaster - ‘General during
the administration of President MoKINLEY
and the architect of the entire system of
frauds in the Postoffice Department may
now return to his . native country and
resume his duties as seoretary of the Re-
publican National committee without ‘the
least fear of the consequences. That is to
say on Saturday last the limit within which
aoriminal charge would lie against him ex-
pired and as be wasn’t indicted before that
time he is absolutely secure now against
prosecution until his oriminal impulses
bring him into danger again, which is on} y
a question of time. ~~ ° :
. Mr, HEATH ought to have been indicted
above all others’ in connection: with: the
postal scandals. It was he who made the
first illegal draft on the Washington post-
office and when the payment was refused
for the reason that it ‘was ‘‘contrary to
precedent,” he declared “‘this is a mew
administration and a new crowd ‘and we
will make our. own. precedents, In con-
fir mation of that statement the cashier was
goon afterward dismissed and the frauds
which have so soandalized the country dur-
ing the, past two months were regularly
set in motion. But Mr. HEATH has mot
been indicted because lie’ is’ the’ ‘secretary
of the Republican National committee and
the friend of MARK HANNA and Postmas-
ter General PAYNE,
HEATH is a nseful mau “in politics to
leaders of the HANNA and QUAY variety.
Tha¢ is to say he ita man who will ‘‘go
up against’ any form of iniquity, and as
Representative R1pp, of Philadelphia, states
it, ‘‘takes chances of going to the peniten- |
tiary in order to serve the party.” Tt was
he who made the agreement, between the
Mormon church and the Republican
National committee daring she last presi-.
dential campaign by which the adminis-
tration was pledged to protect the church
and the church agreed to give the electoral
vote of Utah to the Republican party.
Maybe he was permitted to escape prosecu-
tion now because he is wanted for some
such service next year.

STATE RIGHTS AN
“BELLEFONTE, PA., AUGUST 7, 1903.
Candidate. | Mathues'. Reception.
The Republican candidate tor State
Treasurer returned from Europe last Satur-
day’ evening and the evens wis made the
ocoasion for *‘a devil of a time,’ as BERTIE
VAN AILSTINE, of the stage would put it.
That is’ ‘a large ‘delegation of the
political friends; of ‘Mr.. MATHUES meb
him in Philadelphia . and. entertained
‘him at dinner in one of the swell hotels.
After dinner they took him to Chester, the
metropolis of Delaware county, where they
gave him a receptioa of which one feature
was a torchlight procession. Later on he
was escorted to Media, the county seat,and
there was another torchlight procession,
another reception and a lot of other things
including a speech by Col. THOMAS VAL-
ENTINE COOPER.
Mi. MATHUES has been a ‘political boss
in Delaware county for some years. That
‘county used to be more or less independent
and now and then gave the ‘machine con-
siderable trouble. :But since MATHUES as-
gamed control nothing of that kind has
happened and QUAY has been anxious to
reward him for his fidelity and servility.
He has been prothonotary. of the county for
‘several terns but wanted something better.
Last year when the ELKIN fight was on he
came very nearly going back on the old
man, however, and would have done so if
QUAY badn’t promised to make him Secre-
tary of the Commonwealth in the event of |’
PENNYPACKER’S election. After the elec-
tion he couldn’ keep the promise for the
reason that he had promised the same post
to several others and one of them, at least,
the present Secretary, wouldn’s relinquish
his claim.
Finally QUAY offered 'MATHUES the of-
fice of State Treasurer and pointed out that
the possibilities of that office are simply
enormous. Bpt the salary was only $5,000
a year and that wasn’t enough to satisfy
‘the Delaware county boss. He agreed,how-
ever, to be content with it if the salary
‘were increased to $10,000 and QUAY prom-
ised to fix it. - He comnldn’t make good in
that case, either, because the Governor de-
clared positively ‘that he wonld veto the
hill. Thereupon they compromised on $7;-
500 and MATHUES was content, though not
quitesatisfied. ' Finally it was agreed that
he should bave a trip ‘to Europe thrown in
and an elaborate reception on his returd,
Now the contract has been fulfilled.
The Real Food Crusade.
Dairy and Food Commissioner WARRIN
declares that under no circumstances will
he be diverted from his purpose: to prose-
cute those who are adulterating meat,
milk, beer and other food stuffs or are sell-
ing such produets that have been adulterat-
ed. ‘Political “‘pulls’’ will be: impotent to
arrest ‘prosecutions, he asserfed most
emphatically the other day and even when
FRANCIS SHUNK BROWN, the machine law-
yer of Philadelphia and friend of Mayor
ASHBRIDGE, appealed to him he ‘was im-
movable. Nothing will stop him, he con-
tinued and we hope be is right. But we
will never be entirely confident: on the
subject until we have heard how QUAY
and DURHAM feel on the subject. J
Food adulteration, when deleterons in-
gred ients are used is one of the gravest
crimes. It is responsible for more sickness
than any other single agency. But hither-
to no effort was made to stop it for the rea-
son that nine ous of ten of the movements
in that direction encountered the 'opposi-
tion of politicians who had ‘‘pull”’ enough
to stop them. We sincerely hope that Dr.
WARREN has inangurated a new era in
this respect in’ the state administration.
He has ability to conduct a crusade that
‘would rid the State of adulterated foods.
He hasintelligence enough to pursue the
work to a successful end. Bat we doubt
if he has courage and fortitude enough to
resiss QUAY and that is necessary.
Still we would be the last person in the
world to discourage the movement which
Dr. WARREN says he has, inaugurated. It
is possilile even that Quay has given him
the tip to go on with the’ work and ® that
DurHAM will not interfere. In that event
there would be a chance of success for Dr.
WARREN is ambitious ‘and he needs vindi-
cation. His last service to the State was
not very creditable and diffused a rather
poo~ opinion of the Doctor throughont the
Commonwealth. If he would - recover his
good name, therefore, he must do some-
thing of valne to the public and we can
conceive of no service ‘more certain to
achieve the resnlt than the banishment tof
adulterated foods.

The New: Pope.
The oollege of Cardinals selected a dark
horse for the Papacy tosucceed the lament-
ed LEo XIII and on the seventh ballot,
cast at the session on Tuesday morning
last, Cardinal GUISEPPE SARTO, Patriarch
of Venice was chosen. He was immediate-
ly invested with the insignia of office, white
apparel and a Papal ring, and entered up-
on his duties with the usual eeremonials at
once. He assumed’ the title of Pope PIus
X in accordance with the custom of each
Pope selecting his own title and feelingly
pronounced his apostolic benediction on his
associates. ' The announcement of his elec-
tion was received most enthusiastically by
the. people of Rome and it is said tha it
will bring the governments of the Vatican
and the Quirinal closer together.
"The new Pope was born at Riese, Prov-
ince of Venice, on June 2nd, 1835, so that
he is jnst. turned sixty-eight years of age.
. | He was oreated ‘Cardinal on June 12th,
11893, and was simaltaneonsly. appointed
Patriarch of Vsnice, a quassi, civil office.
‘His appointment almost created a rupture
between the Pope and tlie King who olaim-
ed the right to nominate the Patriarch. The
King’s friendship for the Cardinal averted
the incident, however, and since that time
the kindliest relations have existed between
Carninal SARTO and the King. On arecent
visit of the present King, successor to
HUMBERT who was on the throne at the
time of the appointments, the Cardinal paid
the greatest deference to His Majesty.
The new Pope, like his predecessor, bas
‘been distinguished among the dignitaries
of the church for his learning and piety and
unlike LEo was particularly eloquent in
the pulpit. He isa patron of art and an
authority in ecolesiastical law and affairs.
In administrative ability he ranks high al-
so and his civil rule was quite conspicuous
for ability and justice. - It is predioted that
‘his policy will differ from LEo mainly in
that he will not isolate himself to anything
like the same extent and though nobody has
any idea that his court will he as magnifi-
cent as that of some of his predecessors it is
certain to be less austere than that of LEO
XIII.

Venetians who know the new pope well
say that he will soon be as'much beloved
as pontiff as be was yesterday as the be- |.
VOT patriarch of the poor of the Adriatic.
In appearance Pins X'is a very handsome
man. He has a fine, erect figure, despite
‘his 68 years, his face greatly resembling
that of the late Philips Brooks, the emi-
‘nent ‘Boston divine.
‘When he pronounced his first benediction
today at St. Peter’s his voice rang out with
lendid resonation. In ev way today
be showed beyond a doubt that he has dig-
nity and personality in keeping with the
best traditions associated with the famous
vatican.
Advices from Riese, the birthplare of
Pius X and a village of 4,000 inhabitants,
‘state that the pope’s mother, - ‘now dead,
when living therein occupied a small
ant’s house, having in her humility always
refused to live with ‘lier son Guiseppe, as
even his modest establishment was consid-
ered by her to be too luxurious in compari-
son ‘with what she was aconstomed to. The
elder brother of the pope, Angelo, lives in
the village of Dellegrazie, ‘province of
Mantua, being the postman of the district
and receiving $80 a year for his duties,
../ He adds to his income by keeping a shop
in which he sells tobacco and pork. His
two daughters are the belles of the village,
being known ' for miles’ around as the
‘‘handsome Sarto'sisters.”?
THE NEW 'PONTIFF. |
_ Guiseppe Sarto was horn in Riesi, diocese
of Treviso, Italy, June 20d, 1835. He be-
gan his education at a seminary at Treviso
and continued it at Padua, the seat of the
ous university, one of the best not ouly
in qlialy bus in the world. 2
Pius X was only 23 when he was con-
seorated a priest. at: Castel’ Franco, the
§ | birthplace of the greater Master Giorgione,
acting afterwards for nine years as
tor to the parish priest of Tomb
province of Padua, a _— village of 2.950
virtne. Hié kiudness was nntiring. He
songht to fill their wants and never a mur-
mur was heard when he was called in the
middle of a winter night to' a death-bed,
which proved to be nothing of the kind.
He gave freely of his very small means
until he often went without: meals him-
self, but he kept any a poor family from
starvation.
