SCRANTON, DECEMBER 14. 1S9C.
Report credits Murk Hanna with the
assertion that Pennsylvania will not
get a'oalilm-t position. If It doesn't, it
will not be for lack of deserving.
The Death of flaceo.
The Importance of the news from
Havana concerning; the manner in
which Oeneral Maeeo. the commander-in-chief
of the Cuban army, met his
death can hardly be overestimated.
The American public will await with
eagerness official information upon the
subject.
If It shall appear that General Maceo
was murdered by the Spanish while
under the protection of a fins of truce,
and that his death was the result of
betrayal under the Incentive of Span
ish Bold, we do not see how our gov
ernment can longer hesitate to take
the full step toward forcible Interven
tion in Cuba. In the paramount inter
i oi or humanity and civilization. When
war sinks to the level of assassination
and military practice to the level of
bribery and heartless Intrigue, It be
comes something that cannot be toler
ated within the sphere of American In
tenst and Influence.
Ppanlsh history lends abundant
plausibility to this latest chapter of
horrors, yet even Spanish authority Is
entitled to lie considered Innocent of a
crime so foul until proved guilty.
'We shall nut spend one dollar dis
honestly." s;y!i Rudolph Hlankenburg

The Uauntlct Thrown Down.
After enduring In silence for many
months (he attempts of his political
opponents to poison the public mind
by false representations of his prlvnte
character. Senator Holes Penrose has
nt last concluded that patience has
ceased to bo a virtue. The arrest last
week, at Senator Penrose's instigation,
of one Jacoby, an evangelist, upon a
charge of criminal libel, Is simply the
skirmish shot of a general engagement
which this grossly abused man and his
friends in all parts of the state propose
henceforth to wage upon the conspir
acy of character assassination of which
he has been the central victim.
It has been known for some time that
n branch of the Wanamaker senatorial
organization has been flooding the
cl-rpymen nnd leading church mem
bers of the state with letters and circu
lars charging Senator Penrose with be
ing an atheist, a drunkard nnd a de
bauchee. In some Instances men like
this itinerant evangelist, Jacoby, have
been employed to conduct personal can
vasses of Christian pastors. Sunday
school superintendents nnd other
church officials, with a view to secur
ing a concert of church forces hostile
to Penrose and favorable to Wana
maker. Under oath before Justice Wil
lis Wall at Doylestown on Friday
morning, Dec. 11, Senator Penrose, in
referring to the Jacoby charges as out
lined in a certain circular, said: "I
emphatically deny the allegations of
this man. I received a letter from
Rev. K. A. Rook with a copy of the
circular. It charged me with being
an atheist, Immoral and unfit for hold
ing public office; It Is absolutely false,
a lying publication without a founda
tion to support It. I am always glad
to meet this Issue nnd always will be."
Mr. Penrose may or may nut be elect
ed i'nlted States senator. Charges of
trils character, shrewdly spread broad
cast by factional opponents on the eve
of th" last mayoralty convention In
Philadelphia, claused his defeat for
that oflice, although soon afterward,
when the facts became known, there
was a reaction in public sentiment,
typified by the election of Crowe for
sheriff over Ashbrldge, the candidate
of Penrose's enemies, and by the writ
ten indorsement of Penrose's senatorial
candidacy by a majority of the repre
sentatives of Philadelphia county In
the state legislature. It may be that
the poison which Wanamaker's lieu
tenants are now injecting Into the pres
ent canvass against I'enrose will a sec
ond time cause his sacrifice. But
should this prove true, how will It leave
the Hon. John Wanamaker?
Mr. Wanamaker poses as a Christian
gentleman. He Is conspicuously the
exponent of moral forces. He not only
lets others praise him, but he also,
through State Senator Kauffman,
stands convicted of buying up country
newspapers so that his pre-eminent
goodness may receive due publicity
through the instrumentality of his own
literary bureau. More than this. He
is known to have furnished the means
wherewith certain of his lieutenants
have borne the campaign expenses of
candidates for the legislature, upon the
written condition that if elected they
would vote for Wanamaker for senator.
As many as eight specific Instances of
this are known; In one case the mem
ber approached has made public his
aflidavlt as to the entire process of the
negotiation.
If Penrose Is the bad man Wana
maker says he is a supposition which
Penrose himself vigorously denies
how does Wanamaker's course leave
Wanamaker? Is the next senator from
Pennsylvania to be an arrant hypo
crite? And now it Is the sultan who finds
fault with the president's message.
Governing a republic, like editing a
newspaper, apparently Involves the Im
possibility of pleasing everybody.
We do not anticipate that any seri
ous effort will be made by the next leg
islature to abolish the Superior court.
That court has already demonstrated
its usefulness and taken its place
among the established institutions of
the commonwealth. Its abolition would
leave the state under constitutional
obligation to pay the full salaries of
the judges throughout the remainder
of their term, and therefore would In
volve, no economy, but on the contrary
would very likely necessitate Increased
costs in the Supreme court. The act
creating the Superior court may require
amendment In certain details, but the
next legislature will hardly make so
great a mistake as to udertake ita re
peal.
The recent declaration before the
Pennsylvania grange of David Lubin.
the California economist, in favor of
free trade or government bounties on
agricultural exports has afforded the
free trade press a great deal of glee.
We do not, however, see wherein Mr.
Lubtn's oDlnion Is of such great conse
quence. Intelligent farmers know that
under systematic and well-ordered pro
tection the home consumption of farm
produce Is sufficient to give them a fine
market provided they adapt their
crops to that market. Such a brisk
home market beats the low-priced Eu
ropean whent market all hollow. It Is
the farmer's only political hope. Ex
port bounties are out of the question.
Sensible and Sound.
When, a few weeks ago. Judge Ed
wards, specially presiding in Luzerne
county, ruled that ex-bunker F. V.
Rockafellow could not be multiply tried
and convicted on charges Involving vir
tually Identical facts, a howl arose In
the Wilkes-IJarre press. We did not at
that time take notice of It, because the
opinion In full had not been placed on
file. Now that It Is acceslble to pub
lic sci ut In j- we take occasion to re
mark that It Is good common sense,
and predict that it will, upon review,
stand also as good law. The nub to the
whole opinion is in this extract:
The act of assembly under which the
defendant is indicted reads as follows:
"Any hunker, broker or officer of any
trust or savlntts institution, national, stale
or private bank, who shall take anil re
ceive money from a depositor, with the
knowledge that he, they or the bank Is
at the time Insolvent, sliull be guilty of
embezzlement anil shall be punished by a
line In double the amount so received and
imprisoned from one to three years in
the penitentiary." The contention of the
commonwealth Is that under this law tho
ilifendant muy be indicted, convicted and
sentenced for every deposit he received
from each depositor. While it is not part
of the record. It Is a notorious fact and
one that may be used by way of argument,
that the defendant, during the period of
his Insolvency, received deposits from hi
least 300 people. If the contention of the
commonwealth is correct, the defendant
could be tried and convicted on ) indict,
met: :s and a minimum punishment of Set)
ycurs or n maximum punishment of 9(H)
years Inflicted upon him. While the law
looks with u Jealous eye upon the custo
dian of trust funds and requires from him
absolute and unimpeachable Integrity in
his fiduciary position, we are unwilling to
give such u construction to the act of
assembly In question as would make such
results as we have Indicated possible. It
would be a vljl.ttion of the principle that
penal statutes must .be construed strictly.
This, whether law or not, Is obviously
common sense. But Judge Edwards
strengthens his decision on strictly le
gal grounds by saying:
In considering the legal merits of tho
question now before us, we are not with
out guidance in certain principles recog
nized by our courts In the administration
of criminal law. Take the case of a per
son convicted of selling or furnishing in
toxicated Illinois on Sunday. It may be
that the evidence of the commonwealth in
such a case was confined to one particular
Sunday. Nevertheless the conviction
would be a bar to, a prosecution for fur
nishing liquors on any other Sunday with
in two years previous to the finding of the
Indictment. Let it be assumed that
the person convicted was guilty of
furnishing liquor on every Sun
day for a whole year and that
there was abundant proof of It. Such an
assumption Is not unwarrantable, ns we
know from actual experience in the tri ll
of such cases. The furnishing of liquor
on one Sunday is an entirely distinct and
separate act from the furnishing of It on
another Sunday. It may be well argued
that each net constitutes an independent
offense. Each act Is six days apart In
point of time. The Hqnor Is furnished to
different Individuals on each Sunday. The
line of continuity can only be found in the
fact that the acts complained of are simi
lar In character and are committed by the
same person. The same principle Is rec
ognized in the, trial of cases for selling
Intoxicating liquors without a license.
Kach sale has all the elements of a crime
and Is a sufficient basis for a conviction.
Yet we allow the commonwealth to travel
over a period of two years and find evi
dence of all sales during this period, aud a
convb-tlon, where the evidence might be
ns to only one sale, Is a bar to a prosecu
tion for other sales during the stututory
period of two years. We may also refer
to prosecutions for adultery and for em.
hezzlemem by a, clerk or, a servant. In
these cases each act on the part of the
offender may be considered In one sense
an Independent crime, but one conviction
is often a mantle of charity covering two
years of criminal practices. In the case at
bar it will be observed tha'i the offenses
described In the two indictment have the
same constituent elements, with only one
-xceptlon. They concern the same bank,
the same banker, the same condition of In
solvency and the same knowledge of In
solvency. The only difference is that the
two deposits, received on the same day, in
one case were received from Mr. Long ind
In the other case from .Mrs. Meiers. Both
deposits were received previous to the
finding of the Indictment in the first case,
l.'mler such circumstances a conviction In
the tlrst case U a bar to a prosecution in
the second.
If the foregoing construction bo not
In nccord with Bound law, then It Is
quite impossible for tho lay mind to
comprehend, the mysteries of the stat
utes. Unequal senatorial representation
continues to be a theme of complaint.
The fact that 15,000 persons in Nevada
can exert as much voice In the upper
chamber of conrress as the 6,000,000
people who live In New York or the
G.300.000 people In Pennsylvania Is cer
talnly not defensible on any ground
consistent with fairness. But the ques
tion of Tweed has exceptional pertin
ency. What are you going to, what
can you, do about it?
American Hospitality.
It sueaks well for the progress of
public sentiment on an important
question that whereas, a few years
ago, the legislator who should have
proposed a restriction of immigration
would have been scourged Into retire
ment by the charge of "Know-Nothing
Ism," todas1 the dominant criticism
upon such propositions is that they
don't go far enough. This complaint Is
made against the Lodge bill, which is
finding favor In the senate. Some of
the broadest and most representative
Journals and publicists of the day aver
that Senator Lodse's literacy test does
not promise a restriction sufficient for
current needs.
. Last year's Inpuur of foreigners was
843,000 a total below the average. If
the Lodge bill had been In force last
year, 75,000 of these would have been
excluded, not quite 25 per cent. The
question Is asked, can this country ac
commodate 250.000 to 300,000 Immigrants
each year, in addition to its natural in
crease in native population, even upon
the assumption that these new comers
can read five lines of print in at least
one language?
In the opinion of the Detroit Tribune,
"unless an immigration bill shuts off
this stream utterly, it cannot operate
to relieve the situation. Indeed, it
does not change the condition In the
slightest except with regard to the
most menial forms of labor. It does not
In the slightest degree serve to protect
any class of our skilled and Intelli
gent workmen from the competition of
the new Immigrants. The diggers of
the streets and ditches are the only
persons benefited. The class who can
not read and write are to be kept out.
and unskilled labpr will find Itself
some time In the future in great feath
er. The clasq who can read and write
may come in hordes as great as ever,
and thus continue to swarm Into the
places thut are already overcrowded by
our own mechanics, artisans, clerks,
bookkeepers, etc. Thus we shall have
another form of protection that doesn't
protect."
A sentiment like the foregoing twenty
or even ten years ago would have
damned its sponsor beyond hope of
leech or cassock. Now, while it may
not win complete concurrence, it has a
sufficient support to be considered not
only safe but respectable. The times
indeed are moving. Our own opinion
Is that the Lodge bill might easily go
further without committing wrong or
making a mistake.
'The mine owners In Lackawanna
county.who have to carry on their busi
ness with the aid of shotguns, will no
doubt soon reach the conclusion," says
the Philadelphia Record, "that cheap
lubor is the dearest." We guess the
shotgun contingent is a small one in
these parts. And if we remember cor
rectly, even Philadelphia had not long
ago a street car strike.
The sinking of the Germnn steamship
Saliere oft the northwestern coast of
Spain, with the Immediate sacrifice of
215 lives, forms a tragedy of the sea
fit for any poet's pen. And Jet, when
one reflects upon the many millions of
men who are daily carried by ship In
safety the wonder Is that such terrible
mishaps are so few.
The latest target of the health re
formers Is the night lunch wagon,
which they claim spreads disease. Is
there anything which doesn't?
Maceo died a martyr to liberty; and
his death will weaken Spain.
Jiist a Word or Tuto
of Casual Mention
Seldom has the city of Scranton enjoyed
the distinction of welcoming so distin
guished and eminent a visitor as the young
nnd talented Parisian, M. Pierre Claudlo
Jannet, who spent the early part of last
werk In our city. M. Jannet is tho dele
Kate, to he I'nlted States, of the Musee
Soi ialo of Pnrls, France, nnd Is the son
of the late Claudlo Jannet, the famous
French economist whose very excellent
work on our country Is so highly esteemed
by all Americans. M. Jannet, the elder,
was for many years a teacher of and writ
er on moral philosophy and his books are
recognized authorities on the subject In
many seats of learning. M. Pierre Claudlo
Jannet is nt present a professor In the
Catholic University of Paris, Is a member
of the legal fraternity and a student, as
well as a teacher, of social problems. He
visits the I'nlted States by direction of th?
Musee Social, for the purpose of collect
ing information and statistics bearing
on the evolution of the industrial move
ment here.
M. Jannet has been In this country' sev
eral weeks and during that time has been
privileged to witness the progress of a
presidential campaign, and to note the
methods by which campaigns are conduct
ed in this republic. Election week was
rpetit by M. Jannet In St. Paul. Minn.,
win re he was the guest of Archbishop Ire
land, who was a warm admirer of his fa
ther. By means of a letter of Introduction
from the archbishop to Hon. T. V. Pow
Uerly. the young Frenchman found It easy
to procure the statistical Information he
desired. Fact, figures and literature bear
ing on the early movement of labor or
ganizations In America were placed at
the disposal of M. Jannet and after he
had attended to this duty, on behalf of
the society he represents, he visited our
public Institutions, where he was Intro
duced to many of the leading men of the
city. He called at the court room, In the
Federal building during the progress of
criminal court, sat during a trial and wit
nessed the method of conducting a case
by our talented district attorney, John R.
Jones. Ho was Introduced to Judge Arch
bald, who accorded him a cordial greeting
ns a French advocate studying the Amer
ienn plan of trying criminal cases.
After un Introduction to many members
of the Lackawanna bar, M. Jannet was
taken to St. Thomas' college. Later the
mines, breakers and steel works were vis.
Ited and souvenirs of our industrial life
were given him to remember his visit by.
-O-
The subjects on which M. Jannet gath
ered Information were the trade union
movement In its early duys, and Its leglti.
mate work as contrasted with the wild and
visionary schemes of latter day socialists.
Documents bearing on all phases of our
industrial, social and political life were
presented to him and he left the city bear
ing with him a favorable Impression of
u delightful visit to the metropolis of the
coal Ileitis of northeastern Pennsylvania
It Is his inf-ntlon to continue the Investi
gation nt Washington, D. C, where he
visits Colonel Carroll D. WrlRht, of the
department of labor; at Baltimore, where
he will visit the Johns Hopkins university;
and at Boston, Mass., where he is to meet
Professor Edward Atkinson, the distin
guished teacher of sociology,

A LIVING ISSl E.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Business men have Just the same rights
In politics as farmers or workingmen. By
reason of their greater opportunities they
have the greater responsibility to cast
their Influence on the side of integrity,
disinterested loyalty and equal justice to
all In the action of the laws. But If busi
ness men treat politics as a matter of mer
chandising, and by agents buy up legisla
tors like a winter stock of goods, and
even without waiting for the election buy
them as raw material in process of manu
facture, It Is time for a plain declara
tion that the public Interests can tolerate
no such business methods In the political
arena.
This Is an especially plain Issue In Penn
sylvnnia, because the Republican platform
of this state for the pust two years has
enunciated a creed, which, honestly main
tained, will cure the greater evils at
least of corporate abuses, and the ruling
or politics by the pecuniary motive. U
has been clearly understood that a cer
tain clement is anxious to defeat or emas
culate the legislation framed io carry out
those pledges. . But a more Immediate
way of reducing the pledges to the level
of a farce Is discovered. If men, repre,
sented as agents of a senatorial candidate,
can acquire senatorial votes by methods
which copy the mercantile methods almost
to the decree; of making out a bill of
sale.
The question always remains: What
sre you going to do about It? One thing
that can be dune about It is that before
the senatorial election every allegation of
these methods shall have such an Investi
gation as will let in the light of dny on ev
ery dark transaction. Another thing that
can be done about It is that if any elec
tion Is secured under the suspicion of suc'i
means the Culled States senate shall open
It up to the national scorn and contempt:
Finally, what Is the public duty in the
matter? The people must keep watch and
wark down every man concerned In such
transactions for public repudiation In tne
future. It Is only because popular neglect
has permitted a half toleration in the past
that such things are' possible now.

From tho Times-Herald.
The Century Magazine for December.
In its "Topics of the Time," asks the
question: "Are Our Lawmnkers Deteri
orating?" It discusses It briefly and con
cludes that they are, and that we do not
now see In our state legislatures the class
of men that were there fifty years ago.
The question seems to refer more par
ticularly to tho state legislatures rather
than to congress, but we doubt very much
If the contention can be proved. If wa
look at Albany, or Springfield, or Harris,
burg, or Columbus, we often see n bad set
of men, some of whom are corrupt, and
are there for the spoils, and others, not
actually corrupt, to whom self-advancement
is the prime object, yet upon the
whole mo Jem legislation has been rea
sonably progressive and wholesome. Leg
islators are often bribed, but then there
must be bribers among their constituents
In order to complete the crime. But Is
bribing either new or modern? Some of
tho most patriotic legislative bodies If.
history have been accused of this sort
of corruption.
Near the close of their lives John Jay
and Clouvernour Morris were one day con
versing about the second continental con
gress, which adopted the declaration of
Independence. "What a set of .rascals
they were," said Morris, and Jay did not
dissent. They did not mean to include In
this remark Franklin and Jefferson, and
the Adamses and other historic persons,
but those who were more obscure nnd were
always on the look-out for fat army con
tracts or had an itching palm in other
ways. Legislators represent their consti
tuents, as a rule, both mentally and mor
ally, but It cannot be successfully contend
ed thut the American people are not on a
higher mental and moral plane than they
were fifty or a hundred years ago. The
golden ag? Is always behind us in Imag.
ination, but In fact today Is better than the
past, and the future will be better than to
day. We had corrup legislatures one hun
dred years ago and fifty years ago, and
our grandfathers were no better thun our
selves. A UIFTED (illlX.
