dential electors of 1'uiiiisylvn.iila will

Clipping Judicial Claws.
The fact that the Republican house
judiciary committee of congress, by a
vote of 8 to I, has reported favorably
the bill which passed the senate last
session giving the right of a trial by
Jury to those who are accused of con
tempt of court as In the Debs case.
ought now, assuming that the bill will
henceforward have smooth sailing, to
remove this question from partisan
politics. All sensible persons recognize
that It was never intended by the
founders of the government that a fed
eral judge, sitting on a comfortable
bench warmed possibly by corporation
favor, should have power to issue an in
junction sweeplngly affecting the rights
of thousands of employes as of rail
roads and then, by means of constables,
haul Into court and sutnmurlly lino and
punish persons afterward suspected of
ignoring such an Injunction. The con
tempt prerogative was intended to In
sure punctual attendance of witnesses
and Jurors and proper deference from
those In the court room to the olllclal
representatives of law and order. The
concept that it would one day be
stretched to make of a federal jurist
sitting on an Interstate commerce case
at once a law-maker, a law-Interpreter
and a law-executor without right of
protest or appeal probably never en
tered the heads of the fathers of the
republic.
This new form of tyranny as a matter
of fact never arose until during the
railroad strikes of 1S92. It Is not neces
sary to Indorse everything which the
strikers did In that year to give hearty
approval to their subsequent battle
for release from what was afterward
Fomewhat bombastically called "gov
ernment by injunction." The man who
violates the statute against murder Is
entitled to a trial by a Jury of his peers
and must be deemed Innocent until
proved guilty. I3ut here the principle
was suddenly laid down, we regret to
say with the subsequent sanction of
the United States Supreme court, that
when a man is suspected of disobeying
an Injunction ordering him not to quit
work at an unsatisfactory wage, lie
may without right of murmur be seized,
put in custody, taken to a distant place
and there, without jury or counsel, be
sentenced to undergo such punishment
as may fall in with the legal execu
tioner's passing humor. The bill now
before congress does away with this
polite method of outrage and grants
to such a suspect the same rights which
are accorded to violators of other laws.
It merits unanimous approval.
Once ngain, according to the Dem
ocratic press, Senator Quay is at "the
beginning of the end." How many doz
en times has this been said?
How to Get Rid of the Speak-Easy
It seems that according to the report
of the special committee nppointed by
the last legislature to investigate the
workings of the Brooks high license
law, there are 33,000 spenk-easies in
Pennsylvania and only 1M.000 licensed
places. According to Charles Andrews
of Tltusville, secretary of the commit
tee, there Is only one way to kill the
speak-easles. That "Is to amend the
laws so that all persons cnught in a
speak-easy shall be adjudged disorder
ly characters and fined. The law does
not punish a man found in n speak
easy, but only those who sell liquor
there. In the speak-easy boys and
Kills can get all the liquor they want.
The proprietor argues that he is break
ing the law by selling, and he might
Just as well sell to any one who asks
for liquor. That is why there are so
many drunken boys and girls in the
cities and larger towns of the state.
Arresting them in a speak-easy and
fining them would soon break up the
business. An effort will be made to
amend the law In this respect."
"With duo respect to Mr. Andrews, we
venture to suggest another way and
that is to pass a law making it the
duty of a stute police force to secure
from the federal revenue authorities a
list of all holders of federal licenses
in each county, also from the
county records a list of all hold
ers of state licenses; then to compare
the two and to prosecute such holders
of the former as do not also appear as
nuiuers oi siaie licenses, this is an
easy and direct way to the doing away
of the .speak-easy, provided it be seri
ously desired to get lid of it. There
will never be much improvement in the
situation so long as the matter of re
porting violations of the liquor law re
mains in the hands of county con
stables susceptible to periodical gratui
ties, and so long as the dirty work of
passing on licenses hangs ns a mill
stone around the necks of an elective
county judiciary. If our judges were
appointed by the governor for life or
during good h6alth and behavior, the
latter fact might not be so apparent.
The announcement that a fight Is to
be made nt Ilarrisburg agnlnst any ef
fort to appropriate money to pay the
unauthorized expenses of the Andrews
senatorial investigating committee is
refreshing news. Lot the Hon. Will

Gubernatorial Common Sense,
The Initial message of Governor
Black of New York is a state paper of
admirable conciseness und well worthy
of perusal. Dealing largely with
themes special to his Btate, there are
noverthless parts of It which have
general application, For Instance, upon
the subject of labor he very pertinently
says:
There is no natural antagonism between
labor find capital. They Uro the same.
Capital is nothing but labor turned Into
money. A man who quarrels with the ac
cumulations of his neighbor, dlRcotirages
the tin in and economy of which he him
self ought to be an example. Ho makes
war upon tho very condition which l-o
hopes some time to attain. Those who
citato and foster discontent In tho mind
of tho laborer are not his friends. The
largest opportunities possible to tho labor
lug innti should be provided, The largest
wages consistent with tho lights of the
employer should ba paid, and different
persons performing the same wolk, even
though some of them bo women, should
receive the (Mine compensation. These
results aie more likely to occur through
reason und mutual ncqualntunco thuu
through rebellion. Tolerance Is the llrst
requisite of amicable relations, nnd this
will arise when the employer and laborer
understand each other. Some plan should
bu devised which would afford to each such
liifotmntlun of the other us will fuitn a ha
uls for tho friendly adjustment of differ
ences between them. No such plan now
exists here, and the result Is tho appalling
loss of wuges and property which Is so
often seen when the lights of the employ
er and laborer clash. The plan known as
the university extension has been tried in
Hnglunri, und Is said by many to have pro
duced satisfactory results. It Is the inves
tigation by careful, Intelligent and con
scientious men Into tho affairs of the la
boring people, and their relations to their
employers. Its tendency und purpose Is
to give and ito get Information, und by
seeing both sides, prevent tho conflict
which a view of only one might produce.
Whether or not the scheme of the uni
versity extension Is feasible, It at least nl
fords u suggestion along lines which must
ut some tiiho bo pursued. 1 commend this
subject to tho legislature for thut careful
consideration which tho great need of all
our people In this direction demands for
It.
There Is a tang to tho governor's pen
which shows Itself In several terse
and salient bits of executive sense, but
In no place is it more apparent than In
Ills remarks touching the civil service:
This subject has been much discussed,
generally exaggerated, and has provided
capital to many who would otherwise be
bankrupt. The value of practical civil ser
vice Is beyond question. Its importance
was recognized by tho last constitutional
convention, and Its place Is now fixed In
tho fundamental law of tho state. But
the work of the legislature Is necessary to
render effective the provisions of tho con
stitution. This work should bo done
promptly nnd In good faith, not with ref
erence to Ideas so delicate as to be worth
less in actual practice, but with a vleiv
solely to tho elevation of the public ser
vice, and the highest discharge of the
duties of every public olllce. An exami
nation for a public placo should be suita
ble to the kind of rrvlco required, nnd
sulllclent margin should be given those
making appointments so that the most
competent help enn be selected. Experi
ence, character, tact and even muscle may
be of more Importance in some cases than
tho fraction of 1 per cent. In an examina
tion In geography. Tho discretion of tho
appointing power should not bo entirely
subordinated to the marking system. If
an examination have disclosed the fact
that a certain number of men are qualified
to fill a given position, the place would be
more likely to bo properly filled if tho
appointing olllcer could select from the
whole number so qualified than If he were
limited to a quarter of th'at number. Fur
thermore It would reduce the chances of
Injustlco to an applicant whose qualifica
tions, on the whole, were superior to those
of his competitor who had outranked him
on paper. Civil service Is Intended to se
cure for tho public at a reasonable cost.
unquestioned Integrity and approved skill,
enlarged by continuous service and not to
exploit any particular idea.
It Is a fair inference from this that
Governor Black prefers an ounce of
practical result to a ton of theory. This
inference is corroborated In tho last
quotation that we shall make from the
part of his message where he pleads
for biennial sessions:
In many states the legislature convenes
once In two years, and wherever that prac
tice pievulls I understand there Is no dis
position to return to tho yearly meeting.
This Is a large state and Its Interests are
enormous and diverse, bat these do not
justify or even excuse tho largo number
of confusing, expensive and unneces
sary laws passed at every session. They
servo no proper purpose whatever, and
their tendency Is to unsettle and mislead,
even If they contain nothing more objec
tionable. The legltlmnto needs of this
state can be provided for in a shorter
time than Is generally consumed, nnd tho
chief' hope arising from protracted ses
sions and the passage of unnecessory laws
Is that the people may In their next con
stitution conclude to correct both with
biennial sessions. I should bu glad If no
act should be passed not of pronounced
utility or to meet some urgent public need.
This would make possible an early ad
journment, for which the people are al.
ways grateful.
We commend the last two sentences
to the legislature of Pennsylvania.
The government is now paying $5S3 a
ton for first quality armor plates. Sec
retary of the Navy Herbert figures
that they can be made at ample profit
for $100 a ton. Evidently somebody Is
in receipt of a. nice snap.
Gotham's Latest Scandal.
The stenehful Seeley case now on in
New York, represents nothing really
new save the increasing boldness in
vice of a certain "modern" type of al
leged young "gentlemen." To give to
one's bachelor friends a bachelor sup
per pi lor to one's muniage Is an ancient
und an honorable custom; tho new
part, It seems, consists of Introducing
us performers nude women hired to
sing filthy songs, utter vile sentiments
nnd wear signs that would shame a
brothel.
So long, however, as our so-called
higher society will accept such say
youths into Its favor without wink,,
blink or stammering, lay wires to catch
them as matrimonial prizes and feel
hurt only when their excesses lead to
public exposure, we confess that the
pathway to moial reform does not look
inviting,
A proposition Is before congress to
increase the salary of the Federal com
mission of education from $3,000 to $3,-
000 per annum. The present commis
sioner, Dr. William T. Harris, is a
man whoso annual services to the cause
of education would be cheap at ten
times $5,000. The increase asked for
ought as a matter of justice to be made
by a unanimous vote.
Instructive Testimony.
Last week's heating before the ways
and means committee ut AVashlngton
of representatives of the glass nnd pot
tery trades elicited much information
of an instructive nature. F, L. Bodlne,
of Philadelphia, a manufacturer of cyl
inder window glass and green and "Hint
bottles, said, for example, that he ef
fect of the present (or Wilson tariff;
law had been to reduce wages, close
factories and bankrupt most of the do
mestic makers. From 85 to 90 per cent,
of tho cost of this product represented
labor. American competition had re
duced the price of the ware, and be
tween 1894 and 1S9C, when American
competition had been diminished, the
cost had advanced about 13 per cent.
Tho importation of foreign glass Was
unnecessary, as the mills of this coun
try were able to supply tho home de
piund, and would do so If the labor
ulone was given tho requisite protec-
tlon. A local corroboration of this tes
tlony can ho secured In Green Kldge.
Kven more to tho point was the plea
of K. A. A flirt, a glass-blower of
Streator, 111, lie Mild that the Ameri
can workmen had been driven to the
wall by thu present tariff law. Works
had been closed, wages reduced and tho
hours of work Increased, Under the
SIuKlnloy law the Industry had pros
pered and at tho same time the cost of
bottles wns reduced 25 per cent. Un
der present conditions it was becoming
more and more dlllleult for the Amer
ican glass-blowers to hold their own
against the cheap labor abroad. The
old duty was simply just and fulr and
Injured no one. The present duty had
in no way benefited the consumer nnd
It had almost ruined the workmen. It
was simply taking from those who had
little and giving to those who had
much. The business of glass-blowing
was a hard one on those engaged In it,
and risks on tho workmen were con
sidered the most undesirable by the
Insurance coinpnnlcs. They had an In
surance association unions themselves
und Its records showed that the aver
age of death nmong glass-blowers was
thirty-six years. The oft'ect of the Wil
son bill wns not a mater of speculation.
Wages had gone down; workmen had
left the business; homos hiid been
abandoned; families were made home
less, nnd ninny had walked tho streets,
suffering for the necessities of life.
John AV. Morgan, of Trenton, N. J.,
spoke for the potters of his state. The
operators of that state were in a de
plorable condition, he said; a condition
far worse than tho laborers in any
other country. Their weekly earnings
prior to the passage of the Wilson 1)111
had been $11. -10 per week; under It their
wages had been reduced to $1.03 per
week, and would have been 50 per cent,
greater If the same number of men had
been employed. For ten years prior to
the passage of tho present law there
had been no trouble. It was utterly
Impossible to compete with foreign la
bor. Tho condition of the potters in
New Jersey was deplorable. They hud
been forced to sell their household
goods, and In many cases to live two
and three families in one house. They
were ready, willing and anxious to
work, and would have it If u protective
tariff bill were passed. At present ev
ery pottery In the state was closed.
These few specimen citations were
abundantly corroborated In every par
ticular by dozens of other reputable
witnesses called to testify before, the
Dlngley committee. The lesson of It all
will not bo lost on the framers of the
next tariff.
The fire loss for 1S9G was $113,035,500,
while for 1895 it was $129,839,700 and for
1894, $12S,21G,400. On the whole this
showing Isn't bad. The people can have
cheap Insurance whenever they be
come willing to exercise care; it there
fore is doubly to their interest to work
for decreased lire losses.
