Tho count in Ohio gives tho Repub
licans tho Lcgislaturo by a majority of
throo on joint ballot. Sherman will
probably bo returned to tho Sonato.
Qovornor Paulson lias appointed
Ex-Senator James CL Gordon to tho
ofiico of Jiulgo in Philadelphia, to fill
vacancy caused by the death of Judge,
Yerkcs. Mr. Gordon is only thirty
yoar3 old, but is a lawyer of ability,
lie nominated Pattison lor Governor
in tho convention of 1882, and has
been ono of his strongest supporters
and advisers.
Tho decision of Stato Superintend
enl lligbco that school teachers aro
bound to attend tho meetings of county
institutes whether they aro paid or not
for tho timo occupied by such attend
mice, involves a hardship to tho teach
ers if thoao who miiploy them aro not
ns liberal as tho law is exacting. No
doubt its interpretation by tho Superin
tendent is correct, but as tho county
institute has been mado a part of tho
educational system, tho law should pro
vido that tho timo employed by the
teacher in attending it should bo paid
for equally with tho timo employed in
lUilUIUUg.
Now is tho timo for members of tho
Standing Committco to get in their

Putting- Costs on Officers.
Judges in several counties have adopted
llio system Inaugurated by Judge Mayer in
Clinton County instnicting grand juries
to put tlio costs upon otllccrs who send
trivial cases into court, thus effectually
cuttlug off a prolific sourco of large crimi
nal lists.
Tho above articlo is going tho rounds
of tho newspapers, and some havo en
dorsed it as a good thing. Thcro aro
two statements in it which wo do not
believe. It is extremely doubtful
whether Judgo Mayer ever gave such
instructions to a grand jury, and if he
did it is doubtful whether any other
l'udges havo followed his example,
Judgo Mayer is a jurist of eminent
ability and learning, and it is more
than likely that ho has been misrepre
sented in this matter. Officers whoso
duty it is to return criminal cases to
court are supposed to be men who are
qualified lor tho positions which they
hold. It may happen as an unusual
exception that a magistrato or con-
stablo is elected Who makes a practice
of returning trivial cases to court for
tho sako of tho fees ho gets thereby,
and if Judgo Mayer ever instructed a
grand jury as alleged, it was no doubt
in an exceptional case. A general
chargo that tho grand jury should put
tho costs on all olheers who return in
vial cases, would bo against all preco
dents, and most injurious to tho pub
Hi interests. It would provent police
men from making arrests in all cases
except where there is a positive cei tain
ty of conviction. Tho tramp law would
bn a dead letter, and tho return of bad
roads, guide posts down, and unlawful
liquor selling, by constables, would bo
an unusual occurrence. Peaco officers
should 'bo encouraged by tho courts in
tho discharge of their duties, and in
this county tho court has on several oc
casions refused to sentence officers act
ing as prosecutors, to pay the costs
when tho costs havo been so imposed
by tho jury. Vhatover tho law makes
a crime and imposes a penalty for,
ought not to bo considered a trivial
matter, and whenever a justice returns
a caso to court which tho law desig
nates as a misdemeanor, he simply per
forms his duty, though tho offense may
seem trivial to a jury.
Resides all this tho court has no
power to direct a jury to put tho costs
op any one but tho county, tho prose
cutor, or tho defendant, and as justices
aro tho only officers who return cases
to court, ami aro never mauo prosecu
tors in their official capacity, it is iuv
possible that so learned a man as Judge
Mayer should havo given such lnsiruc
lions to a grand jury. Somo para
graphcr ha3 boiled down the facts to
SO small a compass uiai, it imsrupiu
Bents what Judgo Mayer did say, and
what other Judges may havo said on
tho same subject.
The Young DemocracyTheir Opportunity,
Pho young Democracy of Pennsyl
vania never had, in tho whole history
of our politics, a more glorious oppor
tunity to display their usefulness than
tho issues presented by this canvass
offer them. They can strike a blow
in favor of tho honest custody ot the
linaiicos of tho statu and against
dishonesty ami corruption in office
which will bo felt for many a long day
They can wring from tho keeping of
rogues tho sinking fund that has so
lonir nlaved the nefarious part of buy
ing legislation, and carrying on loU
lativo fobs in tho interest of men whe
use tho pnoplo's money to debauch the
pcoplu'a servants. A sinking fund
which has for its keeper a Keniblo at
ono end of tho statu and a Magee at
tho other whoso joint trusteeship has
ior ycuis amounted to something Ilk
a million dollars is surely not 1
proper hands. To think of moro than n
iau a million of UicpcopIq s money glv-
on oyer as a bonus to a convict felou
who tempted tho representatives ot tho
leoplo to rob tho state, whoso bounty
10 enjoyed, of four millions of monoy,
o jcopnrdizo rorcver their citizcnsnip,
"mako them forever disqualified from
holding any ofiico of trust or profit
within this commonwealth ') is a
monstrous rctlection boyond express
ion. Tho disciplo of "addition.division
and silence," whom tho candidalo of
tho Republican party voted to set at
luurty loriy uuurs liner uuuviunun uuu
ilaccd him whero ho belonged, is not
a proper agency at tho hands of his
benefactor to continue a trusteo of tho
pooplo'fl money. This vast corruption
lund handled by men llko Kcmbio and
Magee, and controlled by men like
Quay is tho burning disgrace of thu
manhood of this commonwealth. It
has been for years tho handmaid of
oppression. Its use in times past
stimulated tho assembling of tho con
stitutional convention of 1873 and tho
institution of tho iron-clnd oath whoso
liimllaliou every member of assembly
must undergo an oath that will re
main a .standing reproach to repre
sentative government while civilization
lasts.
Tho vounir Demociacv. tintaintod
by iho era of corruption which follow
ed in the wako or war, como ncsn
from a nobler heritage than that be
gotten by that long crusado of greed.
Un them tho redemption ot tno com
monwealth dovolves. An active, earn
est, working effort will put to flight
tlio demoralized cohorts ot rascality
and plunder. Tho instinct of common
honesty is no weaker in Pennsylvania
than in her Bister states, and that
powerful champion fights by their Bide
and loads tho light, l'rcsh hearts ami
hopes aro those which must tho long
est liyo j and upon tho vigor, courage
and intelligence of young and sturdy
manhood tho future must depond. Tho
declino of public virtuo is tho greatest
curse of social life. Indifference and
supineness cultivato a callous heart ;
nothing can save from future ruin a
country indifferent to reform. When
tho country gave to Mr. Tildcn a popu-
ar majority ot moro than a million ot
its white vote, it said in thunder tones
ts heart was on tho side of public
honesty. The future of peace is on
the side of public honesty, and the
fnturo of contentmeut and of progress.
The future of youth and childhood is
all with public honesty, tho futuro of
overv development guaranteed by a
free citizenship is thcro.
Tho issue of honesty in office was
never more sharply presented to the
popular will thin it is to day. The
election of Quay would be ono of tho
darkest hours tho commonwealth has
over seen : it would show tho public
are indifferent to tho character of their
servants, and put a premium on dis
honesty m high places, from whose eff
ects perpetuated tlio stato in the end
could not recover. It would be
premium upon bad faith ami show that
tho people havo forgotten their own
efforts at redemption. It would ignore
the orgaoio law aud all tho wiso re
forms their patient representatives en
grafted upon that instrument for tho
protection of the people against the
tyranny of corporativo greed, the
plunder of corporativo control, tho law
lessness ot this majestio ovil that goes
striding through the land, regardless
of all the obligations tho society holds
sacred.
It rests with the young Democracy
of this mighty commonwealth, which
that puro patriot and uselul public ser
vant, ex-aeiialor JSuckalcw, attcction-
ately termed, "tho mother of us all'1
in the course of the constitutional de
bates it rests with the active energies
of this Hower of our honest citizenship
to begin tho era of reform in earnest
in Pennsylvania. No labor could bo
worthier ot human hands ; in tho long
train cf tho blessings it would bring,
everything men hold dear would be
affected. No fireside would fail to
feel its influence ; no life but would re
joice in its ultimate effects. Wo truht
that seizing the oppoi tunity before it,
the young Democracy may strike
blow for honestv in offico and respect
for tho obligations of tho sacred cove
nant of tho supremo law, that will be
tho beginning of a better day in this
tortured and plunder-ridden common
wealth There is no duty moro press
ing, no business moro important no
work worthier of our common manhood
than such a work would be.

For Farmers to Consider
A Mercor county farmer recently
wrote to tho 1'ennsilvanta J'armer,
an independent agricultural news
paper, published in Meadville, Pa.,
asking for information as to what "the
uterests of tho agiicullnral classes and
such as are not traffickers in politic-)''
required of Pennsylvania voters this
fall. Tho Mariner answers him as
follows in its isiuo of October 15,
1885.
"Tho ono Stato ofiico to be filled
this year in Pennsylvania is one which
most essentially demands that the
holder should bo possessed of honesty,
iutogrity and business ability of a high
order, aud all caudidale-i for iho posi
tion Bhou'.d be squared by that stand
ard. If found worthy you can safely
give them your votes. It is in no
senso a polttieial office, tli.it is, ono in
which political questions arc to be de
cided, or where political sagacity is
needed. What is wanted U a compe
tent, honrst, watchful custodian of tho
funds ol the stato ; a callable, faithful
guardian of whatever trust may bo con
fided to his charge, it such a man is
offeied by either parly, and opposed to
hun you hnd only a political manipula
tor, of doubtful or uncertain public or
political character, atioJionest voter
ought to apply the same principles of
caro and good judgment in choosing
for whom he will cast his vote, luat he
would exercise weie ho employing a
man to servo him m a private capacity.
"Tho candidates ot the two old par
ies for state Treasurer aro Conrad Ij.
Day and Matthew S. Quay. Tho form
er has tor many ycais been a resident
cf Philadelphia, and is a prosperous
merchant of that city. Ho began his
business life at tho very bottom round
of tho ladder, as an errand boy in tho
house of which he is now at Iho head
Hy his energy, industry and fidelity to
various trust a confided to him, ho was
advanced step by step, from errand
boy to clerk, and from clerk to pattuer,
stopping only when he had attained
the head ot a great business; always
faithful, always honest, always
to bo relied upon ; no spot or blemish
on his character, either publio or pri
vate. With such a record, with such
business experience, his fitness for the
office for which lie is nominated can
hardly bo doubled. Never an active
political), never mixed up in political
affairs ; if elected he would havo no
political debts to be paid by tho be
stowal of trusts upon other than worthy
persons.
"Opposed to him, and, in many ways,
u strong contrast with him, stands
Matthew S. Quay, as familiar a name
in political circles as any in the state.
h or many years a professional politi
cian, followed no business or vocation
other than that of a political engineer.
His political record saturated with
noisome odors ; his name closely asso
ciated with political bribers, bribo-tak-ers
and public plundereis, in whoso un
dertakings liir name was authority and
whoso wicked schemes ho engineered,
His connection with tho bribery proven
in thu r ittsburgh 'Itiot Hill, as it np
peared in tho trial of tho participants
of that corrupt scliemo a trial before
a court of acknowledged purity and
ability which resulted in tlio convict
ion of tho guilty parties ; his connect
ion with the pardon board infamv
which iclievcd tho self-admitted felons
of their punishment ; his connection
with the celebrated Philadelphia 'ite-
corder's Dill ,' his participation in tho
speculation in tho state's money under
tho administration of Stato Treasurer
Noyes j his well-known defeat of tho
'Apportionment Dill' in the last legis
lature a fact not denied by any well
informed person. Thcso thing alone,
to say nothing of others which might
bo enumerated, should put tho honest
voter upon inquiry nnd cause him to
pause and consider before casting his
vote for such a candidate.
"Wo have said nothing of tlio politi
cal associations or affiliations of either
candidate. If tlio political bias of tho
voter is sufficiently strong to cause
nun to voio tor tho worst man lor so
important an office, then bad for tho
voter. If wo nro met by tho assertion
that Mr. Quay has always been an act
ive Uepublican, then bad for the lie-
publican party.
"A party that dares to como before
tho people with such a standard-bearer,
defies fato and insures dofeat. There
ought to bo u sufficient integrity ro
maining in thu voters of this Stato to
defeat such a candidate, no matter
what party ho represents.
"We have tried lo givo tho situation
truthfully though unpleasant the task
and havo stated only admitted facts,
of which there is abundant proof, Our
old friend wauled nn honest statement.
Wo have given it, and shall bo ready
at all limes to explain further, if not
now well understood."
llow Quay Worked the Pardon Board.
If, in Interesting to rofor back to tho
files of nowspnpers printed immediate
ly after tho pardon of Wm. II. Kem
blc, tho notorious briber of legislators,
bo successfully worked through tho
board by Colonel Quay, nnd catch tho
feeling of Indignation that provaded
nil panics and suets at tho atrocious
mlscarriago of justice. Religious bo
dies took cognizanco of it, religious
newspapers wcro bitter in denunciation
while tho tccular journals, Democratlo
and Uepublican, in mid out of tho
state, united in condemning tho action
of tlio pardon board as a blistering
shamo to Pennsylvania. Judgo Pear
son from tho bench denounced tho par
don as Betting forth a falsehood in jus
tification of tho notion of tho board,
and declared tho pardon was determin
ed on bofore Bcnlcnca was passei'.
District Attorney Ilolliger, of Dauphin
county, who had charge of tlio prose
cution of tlio bribery cases, declared
the board violated their own rules, in
the secrecy of their proceedings bo ns
to prevent tho Commonwealth fiom be
ing heaid. The general tone of tho
Uepublican press was that tho party
should not bo held responsiblo for tho
action of thu board, but that tho mem
bers of it should bo drummed out of
the party in disgrace. Governor lloyt
gavu publio expression of sorrow nt
his part in thu conspiracy, said ho had
been misled, mid would regret it ns
long as ho lived.
Wo subjoin a fow extracts from jour
nals, showing how tho pardon was re
garded at tho time. Tho general senti
ment held Colonel Cjuay solely respon
siblo for tho pardon, becausu hu wos
not only the shrewdest member of tho
board, but Mr. Kemble's closo fliend,
and had been his associate in the work
of legislative corruption.
Fiom tlio United rresbytcrlan, jray 13.
It is a healthy moral sign that so
many of tho papers, oven of Iho strict
ly political kind, speak out ho strongly
in condemnation of tho pardon of tho
Pennsylvania corrnptiouists. Dribf-ry
has betn tho disgrace of our stato capi
ta', and needed homo punishment tin t
would stigmatize itasitdonervcd, while
warning dishonest men against a crime
that tho law as well as good sentiment
among tho people was hereafter to take
notice of. And in tho conviction of
and sentence of Keniblo and associ
atcs there were such a visitation as was
needed, for they represented thu class
that had influence in politics, nnd wcro
conspicous in iho affairs ol the state.
To pardon such men is nn insult to all
the better tcnliincut of tho common
wealth. Tho men who havo done it
should bo remembered as unworthy of
public trust.
l-'rom tho l'resbytcrlau ILinner, May 5, 18f0.
Tho conviction of the riot bribers at
Ilariisburg and their imprisonment was
hailed with general satisfaction, as in
dication that heieafter legislatuies in
this stato at least would not be ap
proached and asked to vote for or
against any measure fiom a money con
sideration, but their recklessly speedy
pardon is as geneially condemned, not
withstanding tho fact that this was tho
first conviction under tho law. Tho
pardon has done much to neutralizj the
effect produced by thu trial, condemna
tion aud sentence, and it will be harJ
to convince the great mas of tho peo
ple that it was at all justifiable,
ltosolutlon of the llaptut Ministerial Association
ot Phllade'uhla.
Jlesoleed, That wo cannot too strong
ly utter our condemnation of tho ac
tion of tho Doard of Pardons and of
tho Governor, who, assuming without
constitutional authority, Iho i-xercie-o of
judicial 'function, have relieved tho
criminals of all thu moro significant
portion of their sentence, and that they
should have dono this in a manner
which violated their own established
rules, and allowed no opportunity for a
fair hearing of Iho friends of publio
justice.
From tho Lancaster New Era, Hep.
As for tho uien who composed the
pardon board it would be an offense to
every citizen of the state if their
names should ever aiain be mention
ed in connection with places of profit
and trust
From tlio rhU'a North Amci lean, ltep.
Tho action of tho pardon board is an
outrage upon justice.an outi ago upon de
cency and an outrago upon a system of
legal administration which is rendered
null by the viciousness of personal pre
rogatives.
From Iho l'liira Press, ltep.
As UopublicaiiH, we disown these bad
men who havo bribed legislators, and
theso governors and SECUETAUIES
(Quay) who havo cwinived at the crime
by setting iho ciimiuals fieo in defi
ance of liie constitution nnd laws.
Tho Carlisle Herald, then ns now a
Uepublican paper, called on tho peo
plo of the state, (May 0, 1880.) to
never forget "tho man who paralyzed
the arm of justice and brought dishon
or on a uamo ot which wo nro rightly
proud, aud who have for their
complicity in a fatal and widely doini
nant political crime mciitrd contempt
nnd condemnation." Chief among
them was Matthew S. Quay, now Hu-
niblican candidate for state treatwer.
From tho New York Tribune, ltep.
moro insolent defiance of public
sentiment under cover of temporary
deference to it, has not been seen since
Tweed asked tho tax-payers of Now
Yoik what they wero going to do
about it.
From tho Brooklyn Eagle.
Such an act in New York, in its
most corrupt days, would havo stunned
tho community and involved conse
quences which can only bo vaguely
conjectured, it has astonished nobony
in tho stato moro interested. ISetweeu
tlio railroad and tho ring tlio people
havo been so thoroughly ciushed that
oihoiai corruption is regarded as a
matter of course, it is not to bo ro
gretted that such o prodigious pieco of
knavery, so open a confession of cor
ruption has been beforo tho public. It
may open tho eyes and stir tho encr
ot honest voters ot tho stato to
overthrow cheso rpscally plunderers,
Tom tho New York Mall, ltep,
There is no concealment of tho fact
tho wealth of and social position of tho
culprits unbarred tor them piison
doors, which would havo been immov
able nnd scaled to obsonro and weak
offenders. This shameful act eucourag-
cs the monster corruption instead of
administering a blow.
From tho intshuitr Dispatch, May a Ajlcr tht
wo givo this morning tho opinions
of more than u score of uowspapers,
principally Uepublican, of the action
of the pardon board in recommending,
and tho governor in affirming, the
pardon of Keniblo, Salter, Crawford
and Huinbcrgor, who confessed their
guilt, nnd of IVtroff, who was declar
ed guilty by a jury. It will bo observ
ed that thcso opinions aro remarkably
harmonious outsido of Pennsylvania.
A majority of our leading exchanges
outsido ot tno stale commented upon
tho occuranco Iho morning following
tno action ot tho governor and Iho par
don board, and at considerable length,
showing that in their estimation tho
occtirrcnco was ono of more than ordin
ary importance. Their articles on tho
subject wcro gcnorolly ornamented
with expressive titles, which Pennsyl
vanlans would enjoy reading, such nt,
"Pennsylvania's Disgroco t " "Tho
Bribers Freed t" "A Corrupt Stato
Government t" Cheating Justice i"
"Tho Most Corrupt Stnto In thu Uiilom"
"Kemble's Servants," nnd bo on. It
may bu inferred from thcso letters and
from tho opinions quoted, how greatly
tho stnto government has contributed
to mako Pennsylvania admirable in tho
eyes of tho people of other sta'e-"
It was at no timo tho in
tention of tho board or governor to
permit tlio enso to go to tho sunt chip
court. Tho judicial body would un
doubtedly hnve sustained Judgo lVar
bou, nnd then Iho pardon authorities
and the apologists for tho bribers would
have been left without a singlo excuse.
No scutenco ever imposed by a judge
offered less reason for being set aside,
and Judge Pearson was doubtless right
when ho remarked lo our Ilanisburg
correspondent that tho sovetity of the
sentence mado no diffivinee, ns it was
decided to pat (ton them before they
wero sentenced. Dut it is useless, to
nrguo tho point. Persons of tho most
ordinary intelligence comprehend that
if Judgii Poatsou's sentence was illegal
the Mipretnu court was tho only legal
body whith could rmtify the ertor, and
tho action of the pardon board ami thu
governor was a usutpation of authority
simple and abohite, ami which may bu
used at any lime to undo tho woi'k of
courts of justice and maintain ami en
coinage clime. Let thu occurrence bo
pictured in the mint agreeable eolois,
tho fact will eons' antly remain coiis i
citou.s that the i-tatu government of
Pennsylvania has been tho accomplice
of criminals. 'j'K! public
are robbed in a moment of ou-ry alum
of faith in tho integrity of the state
government.
