JUDGE AGNEW.
ON GOVERNMENTAL DANGERS,
TIIKUSTS AT POLITICAL AUIISKs.
lullniiltlcd of tlie Judiciary Severely Con
demned. Tlie address of Heu. Dauiel Ajjiiew, cx-
chief justiee of this state, al the recent
commencement of Koanekc college, Va.,
new being circulated by the faculty, is a
paper the close reading of which, in full,
is calculated te excite a geed deal mero
attention te it than it has yet received
from the abstracts circulated at the time
of its delivery. The publication is accom
panied by a very courteous notice of our
Pennsylvania jurist from the Southern ed
ucators, and au acknowledgment of
his kinducss iu filling at short notice,
a pest te which ex-Governer Gar
land of Arkansas had been appointed.
Judge Ajinew, himself, iu his address at
the outset says : " It was written for an
other latitude Pennsylvania though net
delivered. This may net be very material,
yet as men are often judged by circum
stances, I de net wish te be misunder
stood, here and clsewuore." The subject
of the address is "Dangers of the Republi
can government of the United States," aud,
in the elaboration of this theme, after
touching upon the divine origin of govern
ment and the legal right of suffrage he
considers the dangers et the government
under the heads : (I) Theso arising from
the coustitutieu of society ; .(II) Theso
arising from the administration of govern
ment. Under the first class he particular
izes. 1. The basis of suffrage ; 2. The
introduction of aliens ; 3. The diucreuce
of races ; 4. The variety iu productions
and industries. The ignorant ballet being
a source of danger he argues for public
education, without sectarian control.
The safety in naturalization lies iu the
power of the native element te assimilate
the foreign. Race and religion, Judge Ag Ag
new maintains, forbid the admission of the
Chinese te citizenship. The great daugcr
in race differences arises iu the eitizensltip
of the negre race. Its distinctness is se
marked, the national and natural repug
nance te amalgamation se great, that cn cn
tire assimilation is impossible. Frem the
cenllict of the races, the judge sees great
danger ahead. 'Thc problem is avast
oue, and he will be great beyond all former
greatness, grand indeed, who shall devise
and execute a plan of separation with
Safety and justice ; or a union iu oue har
monious whole." Frem our diversity of
local interests aud products there is less
danger because the supply aud wants of
different sections largely complement each
ether ; an evil, however, is the selection of
public representatives en the narrow prin
ciple of local interets " seme even un
willing te study the commeu geed. Hence
the uncertainty and instability of congres
sional legislation in this respect. What is
the remedy? Clearly it lies in a reason
able harmony of measures, te protect the
different staples aud industries, and cast
unreasonable burdens en none. It is evi
dent that extremes, whether of free trade
or protection, are errors. What we need
is large-hearted, intelligent and well-disposed
legislation, te de as much geed, and
as little harm as possible te every inter
est. Te accomplish this our people must
be educated te feel that they arc ene ; that
their Union is indissoluble aud must be
made te subserve the interests of all."
The dangers arising in the administration
of the American government may be ar
ranged for present use uudcr three heads :
1. Theso of combinations for personal ends
2. These from great corporations. ;. Theso
from judicial infirmities. Under the first
head is discussed the boss system, or as
Judge Agucw calls it the "oligarchy,"
which sets up te promote the interests of
its members and of which Judge Agncw
was the victim in this state displaying
itself as Cenklingism, Camcrenism &e.
" The people must think and act for them
selves. They must net suffer their affairs
te be haudlcd by the tools of the oligarchy.
Iiefuse te elect them as delegates ; rcfuse
te permit ceuuty committees te supcrccde
them and dctcrmine affairs which demand
their own attention. Prevent the fore
stalling of appointments and the making
of factitious opinions."
But it is when Judge Agncw touches
upon the aggressiveness of corporations
and the infirmities of the judiciary that it
is most plainly manifest that he wrete ler
the latitude of Pennsylvania. Thus he con
cludes his stinging address :
The influence of great corporations iu
the affairs of the state is the next clement
of danger. Shut up within their own pri
vacy, and like fungi, often growing most
vigorously in the 'shade, they sometimes
overshadow virtue, and pollute the streams
of public integrity, befere the state is
aware of it ; or like the credit mebilicr,
even the nation itself. I mean no indis
criminate assault.- Corporations have
added much te progress and improvement.
Maintained within their just spheres, they
arc powerful engines of civilization ; in
deed, it may be doubted whether they are
net essential te human advancement.
Without them we should lag far behind
the age. There was a time when a party,
after the fall of the Bank of the United
States, denounced them as inimical te lib
erty and human rights. I was net of that
party or that mind and bolieved much of
the prognosticated danger te be fanciful.
I remember well the debates in the con
stitutional convention of 1837. I speak,
therefore, with no personal prejudice
against corporations, but from long ob
servation. Without running into detail I mention
two forms of incorporation which have
been prostituted te private ends the rail
road and the large municipal. Se great
had this evil become the people of
Pennsylvania made it a cause of solemn
council and correction in the amended
Constitution of 1873, and the subject of
three articles the fifteenth, sixteenth aud
seventeenth embracing twenty-eight sec
tions. I speak, therefore, net at random.
In order te appreciate some of theae
daugcrs, it needs only te leek at the enor
mous capital aggregated and prodigious
debts incurred by some of the greater rail
road and municipal corporations. Of all
sources of corruption, the world has pro
claimed money the greatest. Few have
an idea of the great aggregation of money
and the expenditures of some of these
large bodies. They far surpass the
revenues and expenditures of the state.
As an illustration, net meant te be invidi
ous, take the capital and expenditures of
tlie great fcnnsylvania corporation. 1
have net its recent reports befere me, but
I remember well that of 1877, and we learn
from the public press that its revenues
and expenditures have largely increased,
and its capital stock is te be enlarged. In
that report, its total debtor side was one
hundred aud fifty two millions, eensisting
of capital stock nearly sixty-nine millions,
mortgages and record debts, sixty mil
lions and about twonty-three millions of
miner debts. The credit side consisted of
the cost of railroad, equipment, and real
estate, fifty-six aud one-half millions, the
bends and stocks of ether companies cost
ing seventy and a half millions, and
miner assets of about twenty-six mil
lions. New consider the power such au enor
mous aggregation ofmeuoy and expendi
ture can exert. The number of- cm
pleyccs is cemputed by thousands, includ
ing the best talent of this state. Loek at
the net-work of railroads it controls, rep
resented by the seventy and a-half mil
lions of their bends and stock held, their
ear value beinir ever ninety-five millions.
.Compare this with the financial exhibit of
the state Imrsclf. It was thought the
state was sunk iu ruin when its debt was
forty millions, aud its cauals aud railroads
wcre sold te escape their corporation
influences. A remarkable fact attend
ing all the great railroads of the
United States is the immonse wealth
of their leading officials. It is confined te
no state and is exceptional te all ether
employments. The grandest talent and
greatest learning, iu law, physic aud ether
learned avocations, accumulate a few
thousands only in a lifetime. But rail
road officials, often rising from mere clerk
ships, roadmen, ticket aud ether agents,
with salaries running from huudreds te a
few thousands, eventuate as possessors of
many millions. It is no common thing te
sce a railroad president rising from the
humblest station, in.tlie course of fifteen
te tweuty-tive years, becoming the owner
of five, tenor even twenty millions, at a
salary which would net average for the
whele time ever ten or twolve thousand
dollars. These are mysteries which the
common people cannot understand. '
Of all the sources of vicious in
fluence probably the frce pass sys
tem is theT greatest. A single in
dividual wiU command them iu
scores. Some carry blauks needing only
their countersign te give thorn effect. It
is needless te say that the influence is
incalculable. The members of the legis
lature and judiciary are net overlooked.
True it is only complimentary, aud often
se reads. Call it that, yet the philosophy
of compliment is net unknown, and its
delicacy is a skilful art. I de net object
te State officials riding fice. It is a pro
per return for the great privileges granted
by the State, but then it should be do de
mandablc as a right. Let the law reijuire
aud direct tbe issue, aud then the frce
issue, and then the free rider recognizes
no compliment, and feels no obligation,
while for an abuse, the constituency can
held its representative responsible for the
legislation. Te the free ticket system
must be added the compliment of special
cars tendered te officials, indeed sometimes
sought after.
The free ticket system has a special aud
unfavorable iofluence en legislation. Such
is the ramification of the railroad system,
in Pennsylvania, it reaches the home of
nearly every member of the Assembly.
Hence no business of any magnitude i3
done en Friday, Saturday and Monday ; a
morning adjournment en Friday and an
evening meeting en Monday sufficient te
keep the record straight. The effect is a
less of probably one-third of the time
which should be devoted te legislation,
and of thousands of dollars, drawn from
the taxes of the people.
The large municipalities of the state
f uruish another source of danger. These
need but little detail, they are well under
stood by some, but the misfortuue is the
injured people rarely rise te their own pro
tection. Hence their aflairs are se often
managed in the interests of combinations,
that suck the life-bleed from their veins.
Asa consequence witness the enormous
growth of their public debt. The system
of contracts, jobs aud public improvements
is full of corruption. The public geed is
the pretext. It is net the purpose (which
is often geed and sometimes essential) but
the mode of expenditure which is danger
ous and demoralizing. Public works are
undertaken iu the interest and under the
guidance of partisans, favorites and com
binations. Prices are inflamed, and often
added te, sham bids used, fat bills re
ceipted iu full at large disceuuts, and in
many ways the public is robbed te feed
officials aud partisans.
This system of the absorption of the
public taxes, begets expenditure far be
yond the revenue. Fearing touching the
peeple in their pockets, a floating debt is
resorted te, and treasury warrants remain
unpaid from year te year, until the lead
becomes tee heavy te be borne : and then
comes the process of fuudingl en long
leans. The landed debt el rnuauclphia
is new seventy-ene millions, having been
increased by repeated funding in the last
thirty years, as many millieus. The fund
ing process only keeps off the evil day,
and scaling or repudiation must come at
last. I am net depicting imaginary evils.
The new constitutieu bears witness of the
truth, te be found in the 15th artiele and
in sections S, 7 aud 10, of article 9.
Ono'ef the most- appalling facts is the
facility with which these cormorants, who
live en municipal plunder, evade the pro pre
visions of the constitution. The 8th sec
tion of the 9th article of the new constitu
tion provides that the debt of no city,
ceuuty, borough, township, or school dis
trict, shall exceed seven per centum of the
assessed value of the taxable property
therein. When it was supposed that this
would limit municipal debts, the con
vention reckoned without is host. Straight
way the leeches upon the treasury raised
all valuations, aud money flowed into the
treasury without touching the constitu
tional limit. Here is a case which has
gene into the books. A farmer owned a
dairy farm within the limits of a large
city, of eighty acres, valued in 1873 at
$7,200, and taxed at $462. In 1874
when the city came in under the new con
stitution, the 'valuation was raised te
8371,380, and the tax rose te $3,148.55.
The leap in the valuation in a single year
is se great I should fear te state the fact,
were it net a matter of record. The
actual value of the rental of the farm was
found in a judicial proceeding te be only
$800. It is difficult te find language te
characterize the wickedness of the thing.
The last form of danger in the adminis
tration of government, I shall notice, is
what I shall call, (for want of a better
term), judicial infirmity ; .without imput,
ing a want of integrity or personal dis
honor. Its chief sources are timidity,
local usage and prejudice ; partizauship in
nominations and elections, the influence of
great corporations, and educational train
ing. Of all virtues in publie life, courage
the latin virtus is the greatest ; because
it conserves and crowns all the rest.
Want of it in a judge is a great infirmity,
destroying iudopendeneo of thought and
action. Boldness must net be mistaken
for true courage. It is semetimes the te
sult of tee much self-esteem (or call it
vanity) aud becomes a seurce of error,
though net se often as timidity. Timid
minds are affected by publie opiuieu ; es
pecially when excited by interest, ignor igner ignor
auce, or clamor. Legal questions arc
often greatly misunderstood by the gen
eral public, and hence its opinion is no safe
guide Timidity will mistake publie sen
timent for publie interest, and by confound
ing them fall into error. When the mind
is thus affected the judge has but oho
remedy te leek directly at thoease itself,
endeavering te thrust aside all thought of
the parties and the publie. This is the ex
planation of the ancient allegorical
and beautiful representation of justiee,
in the form of a pure woman
standing blind-folded, when holding the
scales of judgment. She sees net these
before her is blind te all relations and
conditions, and listening te the cause
alene, holds the seale with an even hand.
.Lecal usages and prejudices are power
ful impediments te correct views of the
law, and frequently give it au unlucky
twist. They enter into the very-thoughts
of judges living within their Influence.
Hence the peculiarities of large cities will
turn the law into new channels, furrowed
out uy local interests. This produces nar
rowness, and an inability te embrace the
cntire scepe of all the conscqueuces of de
cision, upeu the interests of the whole
state. I have known a city usage te mould
a decisien directly iu the tecth of the ex
press words of a plain act of assembly.
This is a subject net always understood by
the publie. In all courts of the last re
sort, the tendency is te be governed by
general principles theso reasons which
are believed te be most conducive te the
public welfare. This is proper for when
law is founded upon sound reason aud
geed sense, it comports best with the true
publie interest. But it is just here the
judge subject te this local influence is
misled ; he confounds the interest spring
ing out of the local usage, with the gener
al public interest of the whele state, and
thus falls into error. The only remedy for
this is breadth of thought, and an endea
vor te withdraw the mind from these pe
culiarities, and te comprehend thoentiro
public interest.
Partisan nominations aud electieus
are
another seurce of infirmity
Indeed it is
commeu where lawyers prominent in
politics aspire te judicial stations. Their
opinions as active partisans continue te
wield a streug influuuce ever their judg
ments. One as a partisan will justify
what as a man he cannot defeud. If a
party question comes befere him, his
elitical friends knew where te find him.
Ner is this always an imputatieu ou his
iutcgrity. His prejudices aud. net inten
tional wrong mislead him. Nevertheless
the evil consequence is the same. When
partisan bias is added te a vigorous intel
lect, the case is much worse. It en
trenches itself behind ingenious reasoning,
aud plausible pretext?, and thus deceives
the public. A judge of this kind is a
public calamity, aud especially is he se
when he secures a long term of office.
The influence of great coiperatlons is
another cause of judicial infirmity. Such
bodies, possessing millions of money, em
ploying hundreds of servants, having thou
sands of customers, aud power te affect
large business interests, exert an influence
difficult te withstand. It is rarely the case
these great corporations approach the
bench directly. That would alarm the
conscience of the judge and set him free.
The lever used by them is au alleged pub
lic interest and the benefits te be derived.
If a great railroad company would exer
cise seme desired power te the injury of
private right, as te take private property,
the public necessity's invoked. The neces
sity is dilated upon aud magnified te au
immense cxteut, while the private interest
is contracted te die least degree. In most
instances the corporate interest leprcscuts
immonse wealth aud influential poi
sons en that side, while the ether is but
a single person aud a small inter
est. Here it is where this form of judicial
weakness appears. Under the evcrshad
owing influence ol-tlie corporation, the
judicial mind exaggerates the public neces
sity, ttutil it towers like a great mountain
ever the individual right. This wrong is
committed also when judges interpret the
law or the constitutieu strictly against the
citizens and liberally iu favor of the corpo
rations. The true end of government is
the protection of the natural or funda
mental rights of men, of which the right
of property is one, sacredly guarded by the
declaration of rights, and excepted out of
the power of government, under special
limitations. Hence when-a judge without
a clear, well supported and preponderating
public necessity, strikes down the natural
right of property in favor of a corporation,
he docs a great wrong, and fails te serve
the true end of government. It is a clear
breach of official duty, whose great purpese
is the protection of individual fundamental
rights.
Anether evil is one inseparable largely
from the requirements of the bench, and
begets an infirmity often productive of in
justice. Ne one is fit for the higher judici
ary, whose mind is net expanded by study
and various knowledge The judge must
deal with all conditions of society, all the
employments and affairs of life. As a con
sequence theso who fill the higher grades,
are generally men, whose lives have been
spent in study aud refinement. They have
rarely felt the privations and wants of the
under class net the peer or pauper class
but these who live by daily labor, ac
cumulate slowly, and possess small and
humble homesteads. Such judges raised
in comfort and refinement, unlike the
Great Master, arc net touched with a feel
ing of the infirmities of theso beneath
them ; or a sympathy which springs from
a participation in their trials and their
humble let. Yet the homestead of the
humble citizeu the reef which covers wife
andchildrcD, or the garden spot which
helps te feed them is te him as dear, as
great, as the palace of wealth or the
castle of power, and no ene realizes
it as well as he, or his humble
neighbor; and his right the. constitution
guards with strictness. Yet here it is
where the influence of education and so
cial relations misleads the judicial mind,
which, untouched by a follew-fcoling, suf
fers the humble right te be overshadowed
and lest in the exaggerated importance
of the supposed public .necessity. True
greatness of mind would lead te calmer
and mero contemplative views of the re
lations' of society, and held the scales of
justice mere righteously between right and
power ; or if the peer man's right roust
give way te a real preponderating neces
sity, would secure te him a just compen
sation, by a rightful interpretation of the
constitution and law. What is the remedy
for judicial infirmity, is a question mere
easily asked than answered. The nat
ural qualities and educational character
istics of men cannot be readily determined
by the general public. Reputation is the
only common means of discovery. The
peeple who desire their Benchea te rise te
