CIIIEF JUSTICE I'AXSOJTS CIIAISGE.
The charge of Chief Justice Paxson in
the Homestead treason cases yesterday is
one of the most notable contributions to
judicial literature that the courts of Penn
sylvania have so far afforded. That the
magnitude of the disturbance at Home
stead and the unusual character of the
latest charge against the strikers were cal
culated to raise grave and broad reflections
in the judicial, as they did in the public
mind, must be conceded; and when the
Chief Justice, at the close, said, '-The one
great question which concerns the people
of this country is the enforcement of the
law and the preservation of order," of
course every intelligent person will agree
with him.
The strong statement of the illegality
of acts of violence, the clear definition of
the mutual rights of employers and em
ployes so long as they keep within the
limits of order, and the forcible declara
tion of the necessity of enforcing the law,
to preserve society against anarchy and
ruin, amount in their general bearing on
the Homestead disorders to a public serv
ice. Condemnations of violence and law
lessness, whether from the bench or from
individuals, will be supported and ap
plauded by all good citizens. The added
force of such a condemnation given by the
Chief Justice, sitting as a Judge of Oyer
and Terminer, is valuable enough to com
pensate for possible embarrassments which
may arise from that departure from the
usual course in criminal hearings. For
the forcible and radical declaration against
violence, lawlessness and force, the law
abiding element of the State will recog
nize its obligation to Judge Paxson.
But comment upon the opinion would
be incomplete if it failed to note that the
Chief Justice establishes a different view
from that which was most widely enter
tained. The Treason Act was passed
Zklarch 31, 1860, and this is the first prose
cution under it. If there had been previous
prosecutions under that act, the decisions
of the courts would have established
its intent But it has been reserved for
Chief Justice Paxson to declare the mean
ing of the Legislature. The act is as
follows:
If any person owing allegiance to the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania shall levy
war against Fhe same, or snail atihere to the
enemies thereof, giving them aid and com
fort within the State or elsewhere, and shall
he thereof convicted upon confession in
open court or on tho testimony or two wit
nesses to the same overt act of treason
whereof he shall stand indicted, such person
shall, on crnvlctiou, ho adjudged guilty of
treason against tho Commonwealth and he
sentenced to pay a lino not exceeding two
thousand dollars and undergo an imprison
ment by separate and solitary conliucment
at labor not exceeding twelve years.
As this statuto was passed at a time
when political and armed combinations
were already being made to overthrow the
Government of the United States, and
when apprehensions of similar attempts
upon the State Government were felt,
the supposition was held by many that it
was framed to punish, as ex-Chief Justice
Agnew put it, breaches ot allegiance,
express conspiracies and war against the
State Government rather than mob vio
lences, on however extensive a scale, so
long as these latter were wanting in the
motive of attack upon and subversion of
the State itself. The fact that in the 32
years since, including the great railroad
rio'.s, there were numerous instances
of planned mob violence, without the Act
being invoked to establish or punish these
as treason, might well heighten the sup
position. So well known a jurist as
Daniel Agnew, who himself sat as a Chief
Justice for Pennsylvania, took this view in
a recent open letter, written witli direct
reference to the Homestead riots. He
held that a succession of illegal and vio
lent acts of a mob, such as m the riots of
77, did not come within the spirit and in
tent of the Act. That undoubtedly, up to
yesterday, was the public belief. Tr.at the
acts ot the strikers at Homestead were
lawless and criminal that offenses were
committed to which a greater penalty
than treason is affixed is of course
known; but that there was any
purpose to upset or levy war against
the State Government itself, was
not generally believed. But Chief Justice
Paxson holds that the tendency and effect
of the strikers' proceedings were to over
turn the authority of the State at Home
stead; that they virtually "levied war
againstthe Comrjonwealth,"and that they
must be presumed to have intended just
what they did.
There will doubtless be a great deal of
discussion yet in the courts upon the con
struction and application of the Treason
Act, and it is to be regretted that the pro
ceedings were not so framed as to come
before the Supreme Court in the usual
way. As they have gone, the invocation of
the opinion of the Chief Justice at the
start seems not specially calculated to
dispose tho mind of the court of last re
sort to that attitude of freedom from pre
conceptions which is so greatly to be de
sired in reviewing the administration of
penal statutes.
However, these are points for tho law
yers who are concerned in the cases. The
general effect of the charge of tho Chief
Justice will be to holdup to the public
the determination to suppress lawlessness
and violence. The Supreme Court shows
a more active spirit in this line than the
executive arms of civil authority. If the
Court, having taught combinations of
labor their limitations, will now extend its
vigilance and energy to taking the initiative
against such combinations -of corporate
capital as "destroyed the South Penji Rail
road and set up the Iliading coal monop
oly in defiance of the Constitution of the
State, it may complete a character for
impartial usefulness in supplying the
weakness andlnefflciency of the executive
arms of the Government.
THE QUESTION OF PRINCIPLES.
While Mr. Cleveland and Senator Hill
have used due diligence in getting away
from their party platform, and the Demo
cratic organs have as. a rule taken special
pains to explain that its leading planks do
not mean what they say, these utterances
stand as the formal declaration of jparty
principles. It is not enough to say that
the candidate would not carry out the de
structive ideas of the party. The party
will be put into power if Cleveland is
elected. The candidate is hut one man
and cannot stand against his whole party,
as is amply illustrated by his own career.
Life is uncertain, and behind the Demo
cratic candidate for President is a candi
date for Vice President whoso only pub
lic characteristic is his recklessness in do
ing whatever he considers popular in his
party.
Under these circumstances it is perti
nent to continue, as Mr. George Ticknor
Curtis does, in the exposuro of the foolish
ness and viciousness of the Democratic
declaration on the unconstitutionality of
a protective tariff. Mr. Curtis shows that
the Democratic platform is Calhounism of
the most virulcnttvpe, since Calhoun voted
for the tariff of 181G, and only discovered
the unconstitutionality of tariffs when
preparing lor his nullification campaign in
1830. Mr. Curtis' most striking point is
the comparison of the Democratic plat
form with an official document of the
highest authority. The Democratic plat
form asserts that there Is "no constitu
tional power to impose and collect tariff
duties except for the purpose cf revenue
only." ilr. Curtis produces the preamble
of the (first tariff act ever passed that of
July 4, 17S9. Ten members of the Consti
tutional Convention were in the House
which originated this measure. It was
passed under the leadership of Madison.
It was signed by President Washington,
and in his Cabinet at the time were Hamil
ton, Jefferson and Kandolph. It would be
hard to imagine a measure which by its
circumstances could be more authoritative
on the constitutional question. This bill
in its preamble recited among tho pur
poses for laying "duties on goods, wares
and merchandise imported" the follow
ing: "andthc encouragement and protection
of manufactures."
When a party in the present day turns
its back on the principles of the men who
founded, framed and preserved the Gov
ernment, such as Washington, Jefferson,
Madison, Jackson and Lincoln, and
espouses the principles of Calhoun, by
which the dissolution of the Union was
sought, it shows itself to be incorrigibly
wedded to the most vicious phases of its
record.
JUSTICE SHIRAS.
Mr. George Shiras, Junior, of Pittsburg
was yesterday transformed into Justice
Shiras of the United States Supreme Court
by the brief, formal ceremony usual in
such cases. He has reached the highest
bench in the land, and tho limit of a
lawyer's professional ambition, excepting
only the Chief Justiceship ot the same
court.
Those who know little of the junior
Justice havo received him with favor from
an estimate based partly on the manliness
of his bearing and partly on his published
reputation. Those who know him best
realize that he will add to the good repute
of the institution by an appointment to
which he has been honored. A man of
strong character, a sound lawyer, free
from prejudice, 'honest in thought and
fearless in action, the new Justice will add
to the high standing of America's most
respected legal Lody.
EASILY ANSWERED QUERIES.
The Boston Herald thinks that it finds a
detense for the Democratic proposition to
return to the wild-eat State bank currency
of ante-bellum days in the following
queries:
1. Is it not a fact that tho national bank
ch dilation, as at presont ai ranged, is a tem
porary expedient, for which in aielatively
short time some substitute must be found!
2. Does not the fact that tho circulation of
national bank currency, which was more
than $323,000,000 in 18S2, and is now but $U7,
000.000, indicate that the time has come lor
definitely considering hat this substitution
shall be?
3. Are there any other means of providing
a substituto but these: peimltting Stato
banks to undertake the business, creating a
great United States bank something liko the
Bank of England, or granting the unique
right to the United States Treasury of issuing
paper moncjT
There is an air in the putting of these
questions which indicates a belief that
they are unanswerable. Yet they are
questions wluch every intelligent thinker
on monetary matters had answered to his
own satisfaction without ever mooting the
necessity of throwing the subject into the
chaos and uncertainty of forty-four differ
ent kinds of State legislation. Taking up
the queries seriatim, the replies to them
are as follows:
1. Xo. It is a fact that the use of
United States bonds as a basis for national
bank circulation is coming to an enforced
end, but that does not necessitate the
abandonment of the national bank circu
lation on an equally secure basis.
2. The time for discussing and deter
mining how this question shall bo settled
came up two years ago, and The Dispatch
has frequently urged legislation on the
subject.
8. There are other means. Prominent
among them is the obvious one that has
long been urged and never opposed, exeopt
on the general ground of enmity to the
national system,of permitting the national
banks to deposit other first-class secur
ities as a basis for circulation. To ignore
that long discussed proposition would be a
remarkable display of ignorane?, if it
were not explained by the exigencies of
the campaign; but it is not more so than
speaking of "granting the unique right to
the United States Treasury to issue pa'per
money." As this right has been exercised
by the United Slates Treasury for over
thirty years with eminently satisfactory
results, it is not to be condemned by a
misplaced adjective.
The Dispatch: has constantly urged tho
maintenance of the national banks, for
their stability and tho elasticity which
their currency provides. But if the choice
is between the uncertainties of the State
banks and the uniformity of Treasury
notes, the latter is manifoldly the most
conservative and stable currency.
There is a growing feeling of distrust,
tho Governor of Oklahoma says, as .'to
whether tho policy of alloting the choicest
lands of the Territory and making them in
alienable and non-taxable for twenty-live
years is fair and Just, and whether, if this
policy be persisted in, the future prosperity
of the Territory will not be retarded. ,Of
course any delay in the advance of the
newly opened Territory to the rights of
statehood, or any hindrance In the path to
affluence of tho white settlers and land
boomors would be u terrible evil to con-
template. - But it will be well for those con
cerned to remember that there aro such
things as Indian rights, and that the un
tutored aborigines have theoretically more
claim to decide what constitutes fairness
and Justtco than havo tho civilized, and sup
posedly moro or less Christian, invaders of
his lands.

It is perfectly trite that the discovery of
America opened up an incalculable mine of
wealth to tho human race as a whole. It is

riclios and natural advantages of its country
than it conld' obtain in any other wny.
"America for Americans" is no empty senti
mental ery; it expresses tho most practical

fosters the development of the country and
the firm establishment or its industrial in

with the distinct understanding that it shall
be so disposed us to deliberately avoid any
discrimination on behalf of American as
compared to foreign interests, must or
necessity seriously joopnrdlzo the prospeiity
achieved in tho past and tho progress ex
pected in the future.

A, Canadian teacher went home and
committed suicide after her efforts to con
trol some bad boys had culminated in a free
light that resulted in her do'eat and the
blackening of her eyes. In her hand was
found an explanation of her dospair that
was as pathetic as brief: "I am tired of try
ing totench bad bovs." It is doubtful i hether
the causes of her utter weariness would take
tho lesson of her death to hoart.for there nro
low beings more callously wanting in chiv
alry than boys really bad onough to attack
it woman. Hut members of the School
Board, to which she had made roneated and
futile appeals for assistance, and ot which
two momber. had sons among the recalci
trant pupil?, should he made to feel tjiat
they have shamed their manhood by per
mitting a woman to be harassed to a prema
ture and violent death.
TnAT the financial credit of this country
is steadily increasing, and that it has sur
vived tho fantastic tollies of bygono legisla
tive tinkerings with the currency, is no
reason for straining Its strength by opening
the way to domestic fallacies . by removing
tho tax which Is tho only prohibition of
wildcat banking, and a discredited internal
monetary system.

Theue is a superfluity of size about the
ballot as designed by Secretary of State
Harrity which is only equaled by the excess
of unintelligibllity in its general arrange

do it best by following his example of mak
ing the Irish home rule party a unit, nnd by
suppressing factional fights at a time, whon
their country can achieve more of its de
slio by presenting a solid front than it evor
could beiore.

CAMPAIGN NEWS AND COMMENT.
Four weeks from to-day the Presidental
contest will bo -decided at the polls, and
there is overy indication that politics will
be lively enough to suit tho most captions
from now until November. The campaign
is at last really open. Torches have glaied,
red-tiro has beon burned and even the roor
back has made Its appearance. Perhaps the
most Important declaration of tho
moment is that of Chairman Carter,
backed by Senator Sherman nnd Aid
rich, to "tho effect that if President
Harrison fails of re-election both branches
of Congress will bo lost to tho Republicans.
By this it is meant that if Mr. Cleveland car
ries the States necessary to secure a major
ity of the electoral college theso simis States
will insure a Democratic Senate and House
of Representatives. Tho statement that the
Senate is in danger will strike conservative
Republicans ns rather an alarmist an
nouncement. As even the Democrats hardly
claim that they will carry that body th is
year. Sdoh n contingency is possible, but it
will requite a tidal wave almost
equal, -to that of 1830. Chairman Carter's
idea undonbtedlv is to arouse tho neoplo of
the country to a lealizatlon or tho danger
which would nienaco the tariff and cur
rency systems should such an event occur.
Tho fact that there is even a possibility of
the entire government or the country falling
into the coutrol of the party which stands
on the Chicago platform is believed by tho
Republican committee to bo calculated to
awake the Dullness interests of the nation
to the necessities of the situation.
To-day is the first date for registration

the wagon is a gong that is kopt ringing
consiantlv telling the faithful of Tammany
Uall to register.
According to the best advices from
Now York tho Republican plan of campaign
in that Stato is not a novel one, but it Is be
ing carried out with a thoroughness that has
not characterized the Republican move
ments In that Stato in sovcial years. It will
bo remcnibeied that last year Fassett was
defeited by tho fatluioof tho Republicans
in tho country to vote. Ileian well in tho
city, whero tho Democratic majority was
much below Richard Crokei's expectation".
Outside of New York and Kings counties,
however, Fassctt's majority was only 25,703,
whilo Harrison's, in JtS3; was 8i,CI3. Tho
efforts of the Republican managers now are
being ditected to legistor every Kepublicau
voter in tho country, and to see that
he comes to tho polls nud votes. This
is no easv undertaking in a State
as large as New Yoik, with a total 'vote
of a million and a halt. While stiiving to
get every Kepublicau vote above the Harlem,
the Republicans are at the same time striv
ing to keep the Demociatic majority in New
York ami Biooklyn down to normal propor
tions. The majotlty given to Flower, who
was Tammnnv's own candidate for Gov
ernor, was 59 302, nr only i 3.8 more than
that given to Cleveland m IS88. If they can
lepeat the Han l3on vote above the Harlem
with the nutuinl increase that should come
with tho growth of the population in four
years, and keep the Democratic m ijorlty in
the city down to that given to Floweror
even something more, they are confident of
victory. Tho Ilopublican situation in
Brooklyn is not altogether satisfactory, but
the managers claim that the factional quar
lels there will not hurt the national ticket
veiymnch. However, the Republicans can
afford to give the Democrats considerably
mort than the 12.1S7 majority thev gae
Cleveland in Brooklvn, provided tho fu.l
Republican vote above tho Harl'jm is
polled.

The attention of the Civil Service Com
mission has been called to the fact that
the Misouri Republican' Association, of
Washington, has sent a circular to Govern
ment clerks soliciting "suggestions" for tho
campaign, and intimating that the Trens

cussing the matter Commissioner Roosevelt
recognized the indirect compliment paid
tho commission by the cash hunters. Once
it would not have been ncoessary to take
snch a ronndabout way of tapping the
pockets of Government clerks. Mr. Roose
velt expressed his opinion" in these words:
"With the information now before tho com
mission, consisting only of a copy of the
Hunter circular, handed to mo to-day, it
will bo impossible to take anytaction at
present. Tho circular is n request from
James T. Hunter, signing himself Financial
Secretary, purporting to have beon sent to
certain clerks from Missouri, asking thorn to
call on him to consult upon political matters
lor tho advantage ot tho , Republican
party. It when making that call
they weio solicited in anv way, di
rectly or indirectly, for funds 1 am
nt picsont inclined to uellnve that Mr. Hun-lei-
would ho liable to prosecution under the
civil service law that is, it the original let
ter was sent, as I undei stand it wjs, tii the
cloiks In a Government building. The Uw
says that no peison shall solicit in any man
ner whatever in a Government building.
This, of couise, includes soliciting bylcttoi,
nnd a letter lequlring a man to call atn
iiiaco wheie, as a matter of fact, he is so
lcited comes perilously near tne lino of
solicitation, if it does not pass over it. I
think we havo been very succesful thus far
in minimizing the effort to make political
assessments, iinm 1111 uimicjii leain lucre

The general public is likely to learn

now that tho Democracy is divided into

They are circulating a story purporting to
