In Reply to Pingree.
We give space this morning; to the
substance of a curious speech dellv
et ed last evening by Governor PinRioe,
ot Michigan, bcfoio the Independent
club ot Huffalo. Governor Pingieo has
so many qualities vv hich honesty must
admlie and his manner of speaking his
mind Is as a mle so refreshing in its
direct and incisive candoi that ve
sometimes enjoy his speeches whin ne
do not in the least agree with him.
The piesent address supplies an In
.stnnce In point.
Governor Plngieo's piotest at the
dominance of the money powei mixes
facts and fiction in such Indistinguish
able piopoitlons that he, himself, as
well as many of his audltois, is de
ceived Thoie never was a political
raity that got In power in any coun
try jet, and kept It foi a leasonable
time, that did not have c liaised against
It the accusation that It had ".sur
rendered to the monev powei " The
Republican paity in Its piesent estate
is simply a living lllustiation ot an
eternal rule.
The "money powei" ns commonly
referred to means the powei or Shy
lock to exact the pound of Mesh; but It
needs to be lemenibered that the in
violability of contincts cannot be up
held without beiutlt uc ciulng as vell
to the continetot In blue Juns us to
the tohtiactor In bioadcloth. it needs
to be lemembeud that the s.uied
circle of the law cannot be diawn in
protection around the enteipil&c- and
the thrift of the mlllionalic without
.safeguaidlng at tho same time the en
teipilse and tlnlft of the woiker at
dajs' wages who saves pait of his
earnings until lend) to go into busi
ness for himself Equality of pi otic
tlon; equality of opportunlt befoie the
law, not class discrimination oi lavoi
ltlsm Is tho piiniiple upon which our
government Is founded, and neithei the
money powei nor the powei of the
disaffected can change this pilnclple
without doing Injury to the Republic.
Governor PIngree has been wrestling
with bad ilch men until he has come
to the pnoneous conclusion that bad
ness is PNcluslvely a concomitant of
wealth. The philosophic tuith has es
caped him that badness Is a conse
quence of human nature, Just as likely
to be found nmlng the supporteis of
IB to 1 as among the champions of the
goW standaid. Take 100 paupcis of to
day and make them millionaires, to
morrow or the clay after theie will be
as manv hogs among them as ate to
be found In any 100 ot present mllllon
olies Law cannot change human na
tiiie, Refoim to be elfectlve must pio
cred fiom within.
The Republican paity has Its Judus
Iscatlots no doubt: what paity Is fieo
from them? It has In its dlicctlng
circles men who would sell tho Savior
Hlmteir If offeied a HUlUelent pi Ice.
No fault can bo found with the e.x
posuip ot these men; no nobler patilol
ism cap be conceived tlmn the dilvlng
of them out of the paity camp and Into
tho wilderness. Rut It la mere asser
tion without pioof to claim that theso
tradem and tinltoia constitute today a
Bicater percentage of the effective
wembeiship of the paity than they
linve constituted ii the past, or that
the Republlcaii patty'il petceiitage of
bad timber Is latger than tho Demo
cratic purly'a picreentage. If tho his.
toiy of the pant generation teaches
one thing more clearly than another It
teaches that Republicanism constitutes
the nation's safest and most progress
ive governing force; wanton slandering
of It, thctefoie, docs no good and la
likely If unrebuked to do much hnim.
The explanation, vouchsafed by Hal
oid Kiederlu fot all the clatter and fuss
growing out of the Uieyfus case Is that

therein. It Is substantially the same bill
that was piesenteel by Attomej Oeiur.il

appointment of a Judge, marshal and

cleiks In the same miinnti as such of
ficials aie now chosen in the Western
dlstilet. and sessions of the court aie to
bo held at Scrantou, Wlltlnmspoit and
Hairisburg. In each of these places
there is un eceedlnglj good government
building suitable for the purpose, and In
two of them court for the Western dls

would be, theiefoie, no material expinse
on that account and the chlif addi

The counties of which it Is pioposed
to constitute) tin Middle dlstilet are now
a part of tlu Western dlstilet, the ual
headquaiteis of which aie at Pittsburg.
The fact thut the Judge foi the Western
dlstilet now sits at Wllllam-port and
Scianton at cutaln tlnus Is a matter
of ver gieat convenience and a sav
ing in mlleagee expenses, which would
be so much guatei If all the business
had to be taken to Pittsburg The sit

undoubted!) be an additional advantage,
and It would be legaidecl as essentlul
should the new dlstilet be cieated. But
as It is not now neeessai) for the busi
ness In this vast terrltoiy, extending
from Lackawanna on the east to Cleai
field on the west and from the northern
bolder of the state to the southern to
go to Pittsburg the elliect question to be
considered is whither there is more busi
ness In the present Western district,
which It Is pioposed to divide, than can
bo piopcrlv and piomptly attended to
bv the existing equipment In otliei
words, whether two dlstilcts and two
