.w u wi irf'ti x"1 r kANCASTEK DAILY INTELLIGENCE! TUESDAY SEl'TUMliER 25. 1S8 m w- lUncastct UntrlUgrnrrr. TUE3DAT BVfiNlNG, SEPT, 25, IU03 I'libllnliltig Tcstlmeujr. The newspapers are sevcru In tlivlr strictures upon our Judge Livingston for hla order te the reporters net te pub llsh the testimony tnken befere him In the application te admit Illldebr.iiul te ball. The Judge assigned ns his reason the fact that Jurers who liave formed an opinion from what they had read of a case are excused from Kcrvice for that reason. This he considered te be an im pediment te the administration of Jus tlce ; mid the remedy he proposes Is te forbid the publication of the facts in homlclde cases, se far ai he can control the matter. We presume that he can forbid re porters te tnl;e notes In his presence. Just what a judge may or may net de Is net very clear ; but, practically, 1 c Bcems te liave supreme power in the court room. He can boss things theie pretty much at his pleasure. His erdeis must be obeyed because he may construe ' disobedience of them te be a contempt of court. He Is the Judge and Jury In de ciding what contempt U and there is no way open te avoid the consequences of his decision. It is the part of pru dence in the lawyers, Jurymen, reporters and audience generally te listen and obey. But when the reporters get out of court they can tell what transpired in it. The power of the court te held their tenguea does net extend beyond the courtroom deer. It is true that our Judges lien were lately tempted te held differently, but we used our exertions with some Bucctss, we think, te persuade them that they were mistaken. In the Hildebrand case, however, the desire of the judge that the habeas corpus testimony should net be published, was respected by us. We did this without acknowledging the authority of the judge te prevent the publication of all the facts in the case that we were cegn'zant of. If we had considered it worth while we would have printed what our reporter learned in court. But the general facts tiad already been published, and we were net prepared te differ with the judge in his conclusion that the public interests would be sub served by the non-publication of the testimony taken before him. We de net agree with our contemporaries in the tharpness of their criticism of nis opinion. A great deal can be said in its defense. It is undoubtedly true that the selection of jurors is embarrassed by the fact that these in the panel have generally made up their unnds, iu grave cases, from what they have read of their circumstances. The public, of course, expects informa tion upon curient events, and it is net possiLIe te deny the right of the news papT3 te give the news (hey are print d te furnish. But the ceuits and the newspapers can get along very well te gether, if they are actuated by a proper sense of their responsibilities and by an intelligent disposition te de their duty te the community. The newspapers should exercise a proper discretion In their treatment of the casts the courts havct" try. While thc-y publish the facts they can rif rain from unnecessarily ex citing public attention te them. There is great room for improvement by the press in this particular. Take, for 111 111 stance.the It ise Ambler case, which now new daily burthens the newspaper columns. The woman was found slain en the read side. It una a murder witli nothing te make it remarkable but the fact that the murderer is unknown, and yet daily the results of the investigations are minutely telegraphed ever the county mid the suveral persons im plicated are tried by the whole com munity. Tlieie i3 nothing of conse quence found against anyone, but that serves simply te keep up the interest. When the guilty person is found we may bj permitted te step reading about Rese Ambler. Meanwhile the newspapers foment the excitement and the clergy help them. One ilrst-class feel of sume renewn in a New Haven church en Sunday delivered his verdict that the gill's lever had killed her, his opinion being based en his belief that the lever was just the sort of man te de the deed If the authorities had been permitted te Investigate this case in quiet and the newspapeis had refrained from daily beating it up, this one clergyman would have been saved from making an ass of himself, and doubtless a great many mero people, a3 foolish a he is, would have been spared very unprofitable du cussien mid meutal distuibance. Ne one in this day can deny freedom te the press, but neither can anyone deny that it is a fnedein that is often abused ; but the nbuse inns', be endured, slnce tlieie is no cure ler it, ami public sentiment la the only break upon it. These who would muz z.e the press te correct its utter ances liave net lead history with prom, nor ceusiueren wisely the esien tials of liberty. Tliecotiitnunlcutiens of a free peeple must be free ; atruth which Postmaster General Greahain failed te realize when he sought te suppress a lot tery by violating the mails. The lottery may be bad ami the publication may be bad ; butthoevll Is net te be corrected bj stepping the mall or the press. Public sentiment can held these, as all ether evlls, in check ; hut what that permits It Is vuln te deny. Connecticut, a atute which has re cently dovelopod soma curiosities of crime, has also soma peculiar features of criminal law. It suums that a defendant there In 11 criminal case can elect te be tried by two judges instead of a Jury, and the law of the ritatoulse allewa the judges or the jury, as the case may be, te return n verdict of murder iu the second dogree when, in their Judgment, the circumstantial ovldenco Is les3 strong Minn Ilia testimony of two oye witnesses of the crime. As a result it J139 happened already that In two cases, where if the defendant was guilty at all be ww unquestionably guilty of injirder In the first degree, verdicts of second dejjree were rendured and the prisoners escaped capital punishment, which.after all, Is what this phase of the law Is really Jatended te permit. Olmi English minister, James Russell Lewell, has perhaps at times net given popular satisfaction in the discharge of his duties, especially in his dealing with questions arising out of the rights and wreng3 of Irish-American citizens. Hut he la a peer American, indeed, who does net feel a glow of prlde upon reading In a notable Knglish journal of Mr. Lewell's recent address at the uuvelllng of the bust of Yielding such unqualified praise as this One reads this upccclt with a kind of shame iu thinking that thore is net preb ably 11 single Englishman of letter who oeuld have delivered se geed a discourse ; net ene nohel.tr, peet or novelisi who could stand up and speak se well, oveti en such a subject as uenry r leiuing. sevcrni thoie are, no doubt, who could have writ ten .is well ; indeed, It la a most premising itnd fertile theme, ; but te write is English Atul te speak is American. (J-iarrel with England as we may, despise her diplomacy, condemn lur bullying of weaker nations, her Meat ment of her colonies and the cemmer clal morality of her statesmanship, )ct her language and her lituratuie are ours ; Chaucer and Spencer, Shakespeare and Bacen, Byren and Scott, Dickens and Thackeray, all, are our heritage, ami when eminent literary authority of England who once asked se sneeringly, "who reads an American book" new frankly admits that its literature is as well understood and its language as well spoken by Americans as by Englishmen, surely there is cause for congratulation that at the court of the mother country we are represented by a scholar and gen tleman, and net by 11 mere politician or flunkey. run tmvi!it!ei vriiONui.v r.Nneiisr.n At Mm present rate of raisins: 1 p'us revenues by taxation of the y t'10 national d!t will bi wiped out m ten vears, and thit emrcueus" burden laid upon the public by the war will have besn bjrne by a siugle generation of the American p qMe.

What is then te be done with the SI lO.uoe.O-m or JlW.uiW.Ooe sur plus ? The question m ty as well be met new as then. The obvious answer te it Is "abolish the surplus." The4 'add! t.011, division and silence" party says "dnide it." The public demands relief from taxation and very naturally strikes first a, the war measure of internal rev enue. It must go.

State senator, representatives iifcd ethers who wcre inclined te elieapen Gov. i'attisen'H message vetoing the pay In struction resolution are beginning te Mud themscltcs mtstaken. The message has made tee deep an Impression te be dis posed of in that easy going lashten . and they have net heard the last of it yet. It may net llgure iu the catnpilgn literature of this J car ; but It is reasonably sine te have many " readings " in the fall et 11. Instead of hjim; distillled by the Senate, by a meie scratch vote, and laid en the fible in the Heme, the message deserved te no supported lv unanimous tote 111 both Houses en the law and merits of the cae. It was clear and strong presentation of the atti tude into which the Legislature has get itself by its obstructive proceedings en the apportionment bills . and the truthfulness of the presentation gave it force and dig nity. The Legislatuie hid sent te the governor .1 resolution of a kind that the law requires shall be submitted 10 him fir approval. The resolution attempted te onable each of the separate Houses of the Legislature te instruct the ether a te an appropriation bill, and lurther te prohibit any pay te the Legislature after a certain date. It was a wretched piece of bunkum at the btt, an artful dedge get up in the Sjnatc, and blindly and helplessly followed by the Heuse. It was of no binding lalue se far as it undertook te tie up the hands 01 either Heuse, and it was 111 auetker branch of it a two-fold infringement of the constitution. Ne resolution can ellcct the object intended by tb. Neither Ilouse can abdicate the separate and itu!o itu!e pjiidcut duties and powers cenfened upon it by the constitution. The Seuate and Heusj ought pass .1 toselutiou of this kind by unanimous vote en the morning of every day ; and 011 the aftorue n of the same day refuse te de what tlie resolution Instructed te be done, and proceed te de what it said should uet be done. It was a mere futile nugatory picce of demage guery as te that part which pioteuded te cut oil the pty of uiembers after the 10th of September. It was, as already said, a double violation of the constitution. That instrument forbids any hitch change iu the law at the present session, called, nb it in for the special ami sole purpose of passing apportionment bills , and it prohibits auy increase or diminution of the pay of legis laters or ether etlicers duritig their term of dike. The whole thing was a wretched piece of humbug, and it gave the gover nor .1 tine opportunity te administer the diguitied reproof se admirably conveyed by the message. He cited mero 1 canons for the veto than we have aud every oue of thorn is te the point. He has done Ins duty in calling the Legislature te de theirs. It it no fault of his if they fall or neglect or reluse te de it. Ner is he in any wise te be brought te acceuut if they waste three mouths or six mouths in doing ueth mg, at a cost of four hundred theusaud constitution, is an olleuee shared by the controlling majorities ni both Houses of the Legislature in tarying degree at the regular session, but for which the heavy resp insibility ts en the Man majority it this session. About two mouths age the mijerity in the Seutte ami the majority in the Heuse te understand that they must accept the appoitieummits the Semite otpiessod .1 wiHingiie-s te e mode, or get no new appirtletiuieut at oil. This is what Is frequently loferiod te as the "ultimatum" the liitwui;e of a sover eign power at war or seeking .1 pretest for war. Tlie course of the in j rity of the Sjnate has been steadily puisued en t!i..l line ever since, mid ou last Thursday week it was followed by a resolution te meet thereafter but twice a week. Thiee such stunl weekly meeting have been held since isHciubllng en the appointed lhuralny or Friday, doing nothing, and adjeurnuig The meeting appointed for today is tlie fourth; that for uevt Fnday will be the tlfth, and it eh mid b- the last ei that sort. This is the nUittid.' of t'u Sjnite. It lias bvn o.ille.l "i.iv iiiitie nrj," and, strong as th t w ml is, it 1 the right word. Involution does net always require foiee of arm.

Tim advancs in the price el cieanicry butter is said te be due te the fact that manufacturers of sueueand oleomargarine are using that grade of butter very ex tensively te disguise the ical ingredients of their vile compounds.

The present agu is tee eullghtencd te be coerced by such measures uf repression, and the boemnraug of tlie English government must inevita bly recoil en the heads of its uuwise pro jectors.

A.me.si. the many inconsistencies in the postal laws the rating of manuscript matter is probably the worst. Manuscript Hent by an author te a publishing house costs ten times tlie pestage required for seiidlne; baek the printed book. It is a very small matter when the mauuReript is received and paid for, but wheu it is courteously roturned te its hapleBS author he becomes a voleano, emitting expressions of mil phureus odor iu rightful douuuehition of tlie postal Hystem of the government. Ex Sknateu Conkmne, iu the oase te takeS 1,000,000 from Commedore GarrUen made a palpable roferonco te Mr. Iilalue writing a book. He said te the Byracuse lawyer.

That vety day copies of Mr. illalue's eulegy en Qatfleld had been received in New Yerk through the malls bound up atthogevort) luent printing ofilce, or eight huudred thousand dollars. They are the culprits before the people, and net the governor for calling them te the dis dis dis ohaige of a duty positively commanded by the p.irameuut law of the state, and which they uave uet done. 'I he ilttittlen Ht llrrliirg. I'litiilc I.O'ltJiT, -eiil "1. !.. It is necessary for the people te consider this altitude of the Seuate en its serious side. Thore is a disposition te regard the waste of the public uieuey 111 fruitless sessions as the worst oll'euco et the Legis lature. That is ba I enough, as unless squandering of the pj pl-.'u m jaey always is , but though discreditable aud censur able, it is but a venial oll'euco cemparid with wilful neglect aud refusal te obey the constitution of the state. It is net a mat ter of option or discretion iu the Legisla tutet; pass apportionment bills at thib time or let it alone as it cheeses. The constitution says the Geueral Assembly " ill apportion the state into seu it irial and rcprchimtative diitmu, in,nudiiltty after each United Mates decennial census." Every souater aud representative has sworn te obey that imperative command. Taat oitU-beuiid duty should have been discharged at the session which termiua te 1 ou the Ij'.li of last June , but the Leg islature having failed or neglected te de it, the governor immediately re-convenod the General Assembly for the Hele purpose of doing what was thou lelt undone. The duty is no mero formal or fancy duty te crack jokes about. It is net a subject for sport or pastime or picnic It does net belong te the "who oares" or "what are you going te de about it .'' order. It is uet a question of whother "the fellows" of this party shall get ahead of the fellows of the ether Hide, Yat it has bueu Uoated in the Legislature as if it wero any or all of theso a thing of the lightest possible concern. The siibjoet of apportionment gees down te the very foundation of just representation according te proportionate numbers te the fundamental principle upon which American roprcsentativo government is built. Te compel a eontinuance of the ousting apportionment is a violation of the republican principle of representation iu proportion te numbers as well as a dctlatit refusal te obey the constitution. Whatever the existiug apportionment bill may have been when enaeted (aud it was nevcr fair in oue sonse), it is grossly un equal new, and we de net mean unequal iu a party sonse, but as it just ap ap ap portieumout, according te population. As an illustration of our meaning we re fer te ene district, the Twenty-fourth representative district of Philadelphia. L'uder the proseut law it has one iepro iepre iepro Beutativo ; by the growth of its population it is entitled te three en the existing basis. Such growths aud uhiftiugs of population are te be found olsewhoro in tlie eity and throughout the btate, whorever thore is n district that has been spoeially attractive te population since the eansus of 1870. The disproportion Is getting greater iu seme places, oveti uluoe the censim el lbSO, only three vearH age. The scandalous aud erying lujustice is, by nogleet or refusal te obey the constitution te oempol the pepu l.itleu under the census of 1890 te accept representation according te the census of 1H70. That thore is danger of se gross an In justice, se bold a violation of tlie founda tion prinolple of representative govern ment . be ilagrant a dcilauce of the state Urlililslin ut .IuiIke I lliil'i' tiweii 11Chhm irMtimiiiy.

In viowefsome of liidge Lit melon's pei pei fermauces the rejxiiters evidently con strued his extraordinary "rvqaest" te mean au onler of the court, uet caring te run the iuk of being dragged te the bar for contempt. Iu this matter J 11 Ige I.iviugsteu is greatly behind the age. The old "detective" idea that publication proveuts the detecti ju of crime was lone since exploded. The penetrating light el lutelhgeuce netcr hinders but alwajsaids the cause of justice. Judicial proceedings are legitimate matter for publication, aud all the Den yuitotes en the bench caunet suppress the imperatite public demand for the news of the day. Thore are seme things done and tecu in court that cannot be published te the world without ills credit te these concerned, but te attempt te suppress the testimony m a notable case of murder 13 without jusliticatien.
