The broad proposition that this court "ha no common-law power," Is Indeed novel, and In strlklnc contract with the practice of the court ulnce Its or ganization. This contention overlooks the nature and extent of the common law, and how broadly 11 permeates nil American Jurisprudent. The common law of England Is the basis of our Jur isprudence, and Its great principles nie the foundation of tl.e federnj and state constitutions nnd stato legislation. Each state- has its common law, derived mainly 'from the common source, nnd without this its Juiispiudence uoultl he little more than a constitutional nnd statutory skeleton, largely deficient Hi material substance nnd life. Nearly all our legal principles, mles and forms, nre of common-law origin. Common-law principles underlie nil forms ot nctlon, and regulate nil forms of procecUne. Undeniably, common-law powers are indispensable to an ade quate eeiclse of the ordained func tions of this court. The power of a com t Is evnrclbed through Its decrees nnd their enforcement, and vhen Its decrees nr foundetl on the common law their enforcement proceeds In the coitive of the common law The prin ciples uilcs ind tonus of the com mon law enter very largely Into Hi" ndludleatlons of this court, both dt le tlv and hv implication 7t Is fuithei contended that although this couit in.iv K-suo the writ of hab eas (01 pus, by vlrttii of the act of .Tune 2i. 1ST,, one of Its ludges cannot !o fo In vi'mtlon The question nrns" vonn aftei thu oiganlatlon of this court, In Puff vs. McUonough, 1' P.i Supciluit ft. 375. In that rise our late Ilrother Wlckham Issued the writ Ir oration and link" It returnable to the next teun. While the question re cdvid ronsidciatloti, no ofllelal nn iioiinecmcnt vns necssary In lew of the disposition made of the ease on other controlling grounds. Subcequent Iv, In Com. e-c rel. Robert E. Tiyfoid s. Ilanv A Lowrv, sheriff of Alle qhenv county et nl , a case stilt pend ing In this court, a wilt of habeas cor pus was issued, also by our late Bi oth er Wlckham, In ac ition, nnd upon the question of his authority to do this he wiot an opinion in which he s.nd "The inheient power of tho Sti pe l lor Court, or of nnv Judge tlmieof In vacation, to giant a common-law wilt of habeas corpus, whenever nec essaiy. In aid to a pending appeal, Is, and should be. beyond controversy, even If the light weie not expre-sly conferred, as It is, by the Act of June 21, 1!95, P. L. 212, erecting the court. It Is an implied common-law power, not created by the habeas corpus act of ITS'!, but existing both befoie and since the passage oi thai act, In every court of record. Invested with exten sive appellate or supers Isory jurisdic tion. 1'iid, In a proper case. It is al ways grentnble whether applied for In term time or in vacation It may be moulded to rult the exerncles of the particular case: Goslln v. riace, 32 Pa. 520: Williamson v. Lewis, 39 pa, 9; "Duff v. McDonouqh, 2 Pa. Superior Ct 373." This action ot a single Judge was atterwnid sustained by the court In banc. In resting the authority of a judge to issue the writ on the ijrilled common-law power. Judge Wlckham repeated an established principle and followed the precedents given by our Supreme Court and the courts of Eng land. ON PRINCIPAL AND PRECEDENT. The Judges of the King's Rench and common pleas of England found a simi lar lack of epress authority in the Rrltish statute, but In order to cairv cut Us manifest purpose and spirit they extended tho powers. Impliedly given to the courts, to i single mem ber of those tribunals when the courts were not In session. On this point the Lord Chancellor. In Crowley's case. 2 Swanston's Chanceiy Reports. 42, said: "The statute gives no juihdictlon to the judges cf the common pleas to Issue a wilt of habeas corpusr. except in cases there mentioned, but then, by a consti notion in favor of the liberty of the subject, they h.ive granted the writ in other cases and have infeired from the statute giving to them power In specified instancos, that they possess a general power to issue the writ. In this case Lord Eldon overruled the de cision In Jer.ks' case, and Indicated, on principal nnd pieeedent. the power of a single judge to i'.sue the writ and precedent, the power of a single Julgc to Is'uo the wilt In vnoatirn, notwith standing the want of express statutory authoilty. The statutoiy writ of habeas corpus in Pennsylvania is of limited applica tion. The cases to which It extends nre of two classes only: public re straints, on bailable criminal charges, HEART DISEASE. SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES- Do Not Be Alarmed but Look for tho Cause. Heart tiouhles, a least among the Americans, aro certainly lnci easing, nnd while this may be largely due to the excitement and wony of Ameil enn business life, it is more often the result of weak stomachs., of poor di g"stlon. Real organic disease Is incurable; but not one case In a hundred of heart trouble is oignnic. The close relation between heart trouble and poor digestion is because both organs tiro conli oiled by the same great nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneumognstric. In another wav, also the heart is effected by the form of poor digestion, which causes gas and fermentation from half digested food: there Is a feeling of oppression and heuMnesa In the chest caused by pressueof the dis tended stomach on the heait pnd lungs Interfering with their action: thence arises palpitation nnd short breath. Poor digestion also poisons the blood, making It thin and watoiy, which irri tates and weakens the heait. The most sensible treatment for heait trouble Is to Improve the digestion and to insure the in on.pt assimilation of food This can be done by the regular use after mealB of somo safe, pleasant and effective digestive preparation like .Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may bo found at most drug stores, and which contain valuable, harmless di gestive elements In a pleasant, con venient form It Is safe to sav that tho regular, persistent se of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at meal time will cure any form of stomach trouble, except cancer of thn stomach.

Rut the efficacy ot the common law w rlt of habeas corpus reaches much fni thor, nnd takes many forms, aecoidlng to the character of the case In which It Is npolled. The nuthotlty, given to this court, In the provision that "It may lssuo wilts of habeas corpus," without limitation or t cstrlct Ion, fiom Its natuie embraces all wilts of habeas corpus known to the law, whether common law or statu toiy Without extending tho discus sion by io lowing the hlstoiy and dis tinctive chaiacter of the several com mon law writs of habeaR corpus. It is sulllclent to say that the wilt in the piesent case is a common l.iw writ, and was not Issued In pursuance of the habeas coipim act, but by virtue of the inherent common law power ested in tho Supeiior court. "It Is a form of reined which can be nilmlnlstoied only by u couit In banc, though a single Judge may allow the wilt, on sullU-lent cause " Lowrie, ('. J.. In Oosllne vs. Place, 32 Pa. fi2.j "It has a much blonder scope than that form of it which is secured by the habeas cot pus act; for It may Issue In all sorts of cases wheie it Is shown to the court that thoie Is probable cause for believ ing that a pel son Is lestr.ilned of his liberty unlawfully or against the due course of law. The statutory remedy falls far short of this and we fall into inevitable confusion when we go into tho common law pioUnce of the writ for the pilndples that are to rule with in its statutory province." Williamson s. Lewis, 39 Pn. !". It was also held by the Supieme court In that case that the writ of habeas coipus authorized by the act ot 17S3 could not bo em-plriM-d in cases of conviction for ccm ttmpt of couit In those cases the common law writ is the pioper rem- OUT OF NECESSITY It is an established pilncjple of con sti uctlnn that "tho power to lender judgment ino!ves in it the power to take the piellmlnary steps which lead to that icsult." Commonwealth v.s. Simpson, 2 Giant, 442. It Is to be pie sumed, thciefore, that in giving this court exclusive appellate juilsdlctlon ot cases involving the liberty of th" citizen, and to lender final Judgment therein, It was, cc necessitate rtl. In tended to confer the power necessaty to give adequate effect to such appeals. In granting this power the legislature 19 to be undeistood as halng In view the pxlstlnr law. both common and statute: nnd In employing teims broad enough to embrace all lawful wilts of habeas corpus, the leglslatute is pie sunied to have meant all such writs, unclr" the common law and the stat ute of 178u. Por a like construction of a generic term see Commonwealth vs Hell,' 145 Pa. 391. The validity of a sentence to imprisonment depends on the juilsdlctlon of the tiibunal, and the regularity of the pioceedlngs in which it is pronounced, nnd relief can be given only by a court having power to leview nnd determine the question of jurisdiction or of regularity. This power, in the case In hand, is by the act of June 24, ISA"), vested solely In this court. Its exercise is made ef-fni-Mint. hv wav of remedy, through the writ of habeas corpus, as ancillaiy to the wilt of certiorari. It has long been settled that ceitl orarl und habeas corpus may be sever ally used as ancillary to each other "If a habeas coipus at common Inw ls sues.and the letuin to it shows that the piisoner Is held by vlitue of proceed ings in a court, or before a maglstiate, over which the couit issuing the habeas coipus has a supcrvlsoiy authority, the said court may Issue a ceitiorarl to bring up the record, and ma theieupon hear and decide the case, or review and coirect the proceedings, in older to give efficacy to the wiit of habeas corpus. If a certlorail be Issued to bring up a case Into a higher couit for hearing or review, the court may also issue a hnboap corpus to biing up the defend ant, and may. In a pioper case, admit him to bail to appear at the heaiing nnd abide the vent, and the foim of tho recognizance must be adapted to the exigencies of the case. Old forms will not entiielv suit new classes of cases, but must be moulded to suit them:" Gosllne v. Place, 32 Pa. 524. If the wilt may not be Issued by a judge of this couit, piellmlnary to a levlevy of the proceeding by the court, the petitioner must puffer imprisonment, perhaps for months, until tho meeting of the couit; a result Inconsistent with the light to a speedy determination of the legality of his imprisonment, whleh it Is the purpose both of the appeal and the writ of habeas corpus to secure. The allowance of the writ In vacation is In conformity with the practice In the Supreme Court, as Illustrated In Gos llne v. Place, and Com. v. llell, upra. Section S of the act of June 24, 189.', re quires this court to "be governed by the iuleb which do now or may heic- after govern the prnctice in the Su preme Court." Ey section 12 of tho net of Mitv ID, 1S97, an appeal from a sen tence Is to operate ns a supersedeas w hen so ordered by the court btlow, or the appellate court or any judge there of; and, the appeal having been duly taken In the present case, the allow ance to the writ of habeas corpus may be regarded as, in effect, an order of superscdeaK The allowance of the writ does not Imply erior in the pro ceeding It Is n recognition, testing on tho appellate court as a Judicial duty, of the appellant's light to a leview of the pioceedlngs, and to a deteiminatlon ot the questions which his assignment of errors may raise, and meantime to be relieved, on such conditions as may properly bo Impoped, from tho Impris onment which ho avers to be unlawful. He Is not to be deprived of this right by a construction of the judicial power based on technical narrowness rather than substantial Justice. Wo axe unanimously of opinion that the writ of habeas corpus was properly Issued In this case, and that the proceeding Ir regularly before us for review . fiCOPE WELL DEFINED. The scope of our power of review, In this class of cases, Is defined by judicial decision. In tho present caso it Is only necessary to indicate tho limitations thus marked out. Adherence to this well-defined lino of inquiry shows that many of the questions discussed on the argument and pressed for consideration aie beyond the legitimate range of our Investigation. Wo aro to ascertain whether the court below had Jurisdic tion in tho premises, and exercised It according to law; whethei the offense ot which tho relator stands convicted was one which the court had power to punish summarily, and whether tho sentence was lawfully Imposed. Theso questions are to bo determined by the record brought up with the certiorari. No execution Is taken to tho form or sulltclcncy of tho commitment or the sheriff's return to the writ of habeas corpus. Any technical defect therein would seem to bo pupplled by the peti tion for the writ of habeas corpus, nnd wo will therefore tient the commitment nnd the sheriff's return as sufficient, In view of the whole record. The power to punish contempts of couit Is so well settled, by repeated adjudication, that It Is unnecessary to rehearse the reasons given In support of this nuthorlty, or to cite the cases In which It Is established. The prac tical question hero Is: Does the of fense for which the relator was con vlcted constitute a contempt of court within the meaning of tho law, for which summary punishment may bo Imposed? The argument that the dis qualification under article S, section 8, of the constitution, Is not a disqualifi cation In the legal sense, but a penalty, and applies only to the proof reaulrcd of the voter before his ballot can ho accepted by the election board, and cannot bo lncuiied Into thereafter, Is radically unsound nnd conflicts with other section! of equal force relating to elections under the construction contended foi, this piovislon of tho i construction, nrtnlfestly designed to prevent fraud nt elections, would bo- ' come a shield, and a ratification of ' fraud because of Its successful perpe tration. Such a consti uctlon is not to be tolerated. That the refusal by a witness to nn.uver questions material to the issue of the caso In which ho is cnlled, Is a contempt of court, nnd purlshablo a1 l such. Is not and cannot be denied, as I u geneial pioposltion. Put It Is sot up i in defense that t'f questions heio pro pounded aie pxi pled from the general , lule. on the giout.d that the answers would tend to s-elf-crlinin.itloii: that tha constitution piovldi i that no per son shall be compelled to give cvi- I deuce ngnlnst himself, nii'l, as the re- lntor has formally claimed tho benefit of this clnil'-e, he cinpot be compelled to give evidence against himself, and. as the lelator has lurm.illy claimed , tho benefit of thin clause, he cannot be compelled to answr, or be punish ed for his tofusjl. The answer to this objection is found in tho constitution itself liy nitidis S. stctlon 10, it is provided that, "In trials of contested elections, nn n piocedlngs for the ii'vestig.itioii of elections, no pel son j shall be peimlttcd to withhold his tes- I tlmony, upon the gioiind that It may criminate himself, or subject him to public Infamv; hut such tcstlnnnv s1it.11 not aftcrwaids be used against him. In any Judiclit proceeding, ex cept for pet Jury I nglvlng such testi mony" To this It is icplled that this i provision is Itself unconslltutlon.il. be cause It is In conflict with tho bill of rights which "Is excepted out of the general powers of government, aid hall forever remain InvIoWte" This question Involves largely the sufficiency of the eauso of conviction, and It may be doubtful whether we aie required to rule upon it Put if the relator is being prosecuted for a matter which ' Is not an Hndl table oftenso under the law of Pcnrsvlv inln, It would be our right ns well as plain duty to ex- i amine the subject, and to discharge -the relator If this be tine Com v. Ketr-r, 02 To, 376. OONTLICT OP THUMS. The question rails fir the Interpre-' tntlon of th constitution, on tills nl leged conflict of the terms of that lu J "tiument 'The constitution Is en titled, like ( ther instruments, to a consti uctlon, as neailv as may be, in ncoi dance with the int'it of ltn mak ers " Mopis v. Heading U Pa. US. "A constitution is not to receive a techni cal construction, like n comiron-hivv in strument or a statute. It Is to be In tel jiret"tl so as to eairv out the great prlnplples of the government, not to defeat them " Com v. CI like, T W A S. 1"7. It should be consti uod In the light which the whole instiumcnt thiovvs upon it Tho il vtlve principle Is essentially, a vital force n our form of government and in the crganlc law. As the state develops ami ex pands, the piinclplo of the elective! sjHtcm glows in public Import ance and methods of e:iecutIon. Tin p'ogiessive meisuies adopted,' f i oni time to time, by constitution nnd statute, for the p rpetuatlon and pios eivatlon of this pilnciple, Illustrate Its paiamount importance in government affaiis. AVo may safely conclude, therefore, that the elective principle Is one of "the great piinciples of the gov ernment" which It Is the aim of the constitution to preserve, nnd nil laws, constitutional and statute, relating to elections, should be construed to that end. The constlutlonal piovislon In question must be inteipreted In tho light which the whole Instrument throws upon It, and the purpose and Intent of tho people In its adoption. Its manifest purpose was to piotect the purity of the ballot box, and to this end it was deemed neeessaiy to adopt constitutional measures, regulating tho light of franchise A fraud upon the ballot box Is a cilme against the na tion:" 83 Pa. 107. It is most neees saiy, therefore, to enfoice all existing measures for the repression of this offense tl is quite clear that those constitu tional measuics maj be enforced with out violating the bill of rights, which Is to he consti ued In harmony with the other parts of the constitution nnd thus full effect given to every section of that instalment. The essential pur pose of the clause of the bill of lights referred to, was to prevent tho com pulsoiy self-Inculpation of those charged with crimes against the law. Any subordinate provision of law vio lative ot that purpose must bo declared null and void. Without conceding that the tenth section of article eight ot the constitution Is subordinate to the hill of rights, It is certain that this sec tion may bo sustained without conflict ing with the pin pose and effect of that clause. Uy section 9 of the hill of rights, "In criminal prosecutions, tho accused cannot be compelled to glvo evidence against himself " Hut In cases within article 8, section 10, the witness who testifies to his own turpi tude does not give evidence against himself, since the testimony thus given cannot bo used as evidence against StrongToday Because Hood's Sarsaparilla Built Up His System Child Was Weak, Had Night Swoata and Poor Appotlto.

To hold otherwise, and an nu tho tenth section of article eight, would deprive the people of a very im poitant constitutional provision. It would open the doors to corrupt nnd fraudulent voting, against tho plain intent of the law. The case of Com monwealth vs. Hell, supra, relied upon bv tho nnnelloe. throw 8 no light on this question We think, however, that our conclusion Is correct In principle and on governmental policy. THE FIFTH AMCNDMKNT. Theio is nothing In the federal con stitution, as construed by the courts, in conflict with this conclusion. The fifth amondnient, relied upon in the nrgument, l, like the other amend ments, a icstrlctlon upon federal pow er, and does not extend to the states: Livingston vs. Mooio, 7 Pet. Bil. Sub sequent cases aie to tho same effect. The case of Couiiselman vs. Hitchcock, 142 IT. s. 517, arose under a federal statute an act to regulate commerce, In a federal couit. It cannot apply here, and Is entiicly consistent with the principle of the pieceding cases. The remaining questions call for but brief notice. It Is contended that the offense was not committed In open court but befoie the examiners, who had full power to commit for refusal to answer, under the .act of Feb '26, 1831, and, thercfoie. the sentence of the couit is Illegal We cannot adopt this view. The answer of the iclator to tho rule Issued bv the couit was piesented and read lu open court by his counsel and in his pres ence In this answer tho relatoi refused to obey the order of the couit by answeilng the questions as dliccted. This was a refusal in open couit and. without mote, was sufllclent to wan ant the pi oc ceding. That ho also refused to answer the same ques tions befoie the examiners Is Immater ial, In the view we take of the proceed ing. It is, therefore, unnecessary to enter Into a discussion as to whether a lofusal befoie the examiners was In legal effect "In open court" within the meaning of the act of June 16, 1830, or w hethcr the ourt could punish In this (uimninu manner foi a icfusal to answer befoie the examiners. For like tenson the aigument that a fine only could bo Imposed for nn offense not committed In the presence of the court does not apply, and lequlies no dls eusoion. The aigument that many of the ques tions which the relatoi refused to ans wer Involved no offense against the election laws and weie not material to the issue of the conte"t is lather against the lelator than in Justifica tion of his refusal to answer. An ex amination of the questions snt here hows very cleaib that this Is true of most of them H Is also ti ue that thoe questions did not necessailly Involve self-crliniuntlng answers. The situa tion In this lesuect Is like that in the case of Com. v. Hell, supra, wheie the contumacious witness "icfused to ans wer any question that could have had even a remote beailng on tho material facts. Cei tainly. t ' y responsive ans weis to many of ihe questions that weie put o him could not have hud the slightest tendency to c rlmlnate him." On this point tho Su pieme couit fui ther said1 "The relator was not he final arbiter of the question whether his answeis to the Intel roga tions piopounded would tend to crim inate him. It was the plain duty of the trial Judge to decide that question." So in the nreyent case, many of tho questions do not Indicate, even remote ly, how unsvvis could tend to eliminate the lelator, and, under the decision re feu ed to, the icfusal to answer them wns, prima facie, a contempt of court, without leference to tho constitutional pilvilege. Whether the question calls for an answer which would tend to eliminate the witness was for the Judge to decide in the first instance: and his negative decision must prevail until overcome by satisfactory proof to tho contrary. In addition to the piotectlon afforded by the 10th section of nrticle S ot the constitution, there Is In the present case a refusal to answer ques tions which did not tend to criminate and weie, therefore, beyond the pale of th privilege under the bill of lights. Th lelator wns duly sentenced by the court, which Is an appropriate method for a court of criminal jurisdiction to declare Its judgment and the punitive consequences. What we have said sufficiently deals with al lthe material questions present ed by tho lecotd of this case It follows from what has been paid that the iclator was not unjustly re strained of his liberty, and, having been leleased on bail pending the hearing and consideration of this case, without having complied with the sentence ot the court below, eh must be remanded unto the custody of the i espondent. to the end that said sentence be complied witn. it le accordingly Ordered that tho relator do forth with surrender hlirtsolf Into the custody ot the sheriff of Lackawanna county, to the end that he sentence of the eotirt of quaiter sessions of said county, pio nounced against him on December 20, 1S9S, for contempt of said couit, be fully executed, and It Is further oidered that ho pay the costs of this proceed ing.
