A Utile expert rross-cxnmlnatlun of
ten makes the exp?rt witness appear
like nil apprentice.
What Next?
The failure of. the legislature to el.jf
u senator raises th question, "V, hat
next?"
The constitution of I'ciinsWvunia is
silent upon the duly of the governor
In the case of a failure to elect. Its
entire mandate upon the general sub
ject of ii vacancy In the. slate s sena
torial lepresentatlon Is limited to these
words In section four of Article II:
"In case of u vacancy In the olllce of
United States senator from this com
monwealth. In a recess between ses
sions, the governor shall convene the
two houses, by proclamation on notice
tint i.Yiwpillnir slxtv days, to 111! the
same." After today there will, It Is
true, he a vacancy "In a recess be
tween sessions" but It will not be a
vacancy originating In a recess but
one directly due to the le.nlslature'H
Inability to perform Its constitutional
duty while rcgulaily In session. The
governor could summon an extra ses
sion and justify the summons on the
ground Ibal full lepresentatlon at
Washington Is very necessary In the
FIfty-Mxth congress: but In view of
the fact that this necessity was amply
explained to the same legislators when
assembled In regular scslon and also
In view of the cost of an extra ses
sion, estimated at not less than 12.o,
(0U, It Is unlikely that the executive
will everelse so debatable a power.
In paragraph two of the third sec
tion of Article I of the Constitution of
the I'nlted States It Is provided that
"If vacancies happen by resignation or
otherwise during the recess of the leg
islature of any state tbe exicutlve
thereof may make temporary appoint
ments until the next meeting of the
legislature, which shall then 1111 such
vacancies." The "next meeting of the
legislature" here contemplated very
obviously Is the meeting provided for
in the constitution of the state having
the vacancy, which in Pennsylvania
would be a special meeting to be con
vened by gubernatorial proclamation
"on notice not exceeding sixty days."
So that even If a vacancy should occur
"during the recess of the legislature"
as, for example, by the resignation
of Senator Penrose the governor could
appoint only for the brief Interval be
tween his receipt of the resignation
and the choice of a successor by the
legislature assembled In extraordinary
session. There is no substance to any
hope of relief ftom this direction.
As the situation stands, we are
forced tif'aecept th conclusion that
dining thu entile llrst or long session
of the Fifty-sixth congress and very
probably during n large part of tin
second session of that Important con
gress, Pennsylvania, In many particu
lars the greatest and In most partic
ulars at least the second greatest com
monwealth In the Union, will have
only one ivnrefentntlve In the I'nlted
States senate, and he a man not yet
through the tlrst half of his llrst term.
The senator who has represented the
commonwealth for twelve consecutive
years with such rare effectiveness that
he had become one of the recognized
leaders of the senate, one of the
"powers behind the throne" of national
pontics and legislation; a party gen
eral with a world-wide reputation for
strategy and astuteness: a man whose
friends are friends to the death, giv
ing evidences of personal loyalty
unlnuc In the history of American
politics, has failed of re-eleetlon, not
because he was no longer the choice
of n majority of his party, not because
he had lost his ability to serve the
commonwealth well, but because a
conspiracy of bis personal and political
enemies, come within and some with
out the pmty. had set up a political
Insurrection poweiless to aceomnllsh
anything alhrinatively but powerful
only In Its ability to obstruct.
An lssu of tills kind must neeessai
ily go before the people. It will re
quire a vote of the people to decide.
Some historian has dlscovcicd that
Thomas .UlTersen kfpt four hundred
sen ants. This Is the kind of sim
plicity that prompts the oUlcc-holdor
to engage in stock speculation.
The Job Will Be Finished.
Tho ambiislng of the Yorktoun's men
by the rebels of Luzon will in ford a
iesi 01 auti-expansloiilsL arguments.
If Aaulnablo j ii-i 111,1 D),.!, nn. ., jot of
Wutdllngtr.i: ', lonclueliiig a civilized
wiiri'iiri- ugiiinsi nn nrioyuiu invader,
it fill be easy to i.ffecl an exchange
for the liberation of these, (ho first
Americans taken prisoners since the
recent hostilities began. Under the
rules of 'Civilised win fare piiso'iers
may bo released on parole or exchanged
, lor prisoners of corresponding rank.
. and must be well treated while in cap-
tlvlty. The leturn of Lieutenant ail
more and companions by the Filipinos
on an honorable basis, after due ob
servance of tho military proprieties,
would go far to raise the Tagalos in
American respect; but any maltreat
ment of our hallors would have to be
avenged to the uttermost limit.
The issue In Luzon, as tho l'hlladel
phla Press says, "Is not whether the
job is easy, but whether It Is just. If
the icsponslblllty for maintaining or
der exists and rests on tho United
States and this Is tho only Just ground
for our presence In the group, no one
can pretend that the obligation of any
mpoiiKlblllty grows less binding when
its execution mows more dllllcult. Hard
or easy, the work before tho United
States has to be done not because It
is profitable, but becauso It Is a duty
both to tho world and to the Philip
pines." In lighting bushwhacking savages
roversea are to bo expected, 'n bavo
had them In every one of our larger In
dian campaigns, iiut they huve never
been accepted by the American people
as Indicating that the depredations of
the belligerent Indians should be
winked at or that because of tho dan
ger and dllllculty of enforcing order,
our "oldlers should bo ordered to give
tlu Indians full BWlng In their mur
derous rampages. The Filipinos stand
on exactly tho footing of warlike In
dlnns until such time us they shall by
their nctlons show moral superiority
over the Indian tribes. Uncle Sam's
hand Is on tho plough nml, hard or
easy, the Job will be finished.
Uen Hur Is to be dramatized and put
on the stage. If It can bo produced
without the nccompunlmcnl. of the
feminine elocutionist In white serge
and satin ribbons who reads tho "Char
lot Unco" In chest tones, Hen Hur will
doubtless be welcome as a drama.
Otherwise the enterprise should be dis
couraged. An Unnecessary Law.
Yesterday In California a law went
Into effect re'iulring that every article
In any newspaper Involving criticism
of comment t'pon any public oillclal
shall be signed by the name of Its writ
er. The leading newspapers have de
cided to pay no attention to the law,
so .is to bring It speedily for review
before tho supremo court. P.ellef in
Its unconstitutionality Is general, but
the measure was forced through the
legislature at the behest of a number
of prominent politicians who were
writhing under newspaper criticism,
and in their condition of mind the mat-t'-r
of unconstitutionality cut an In
visible figure.
Whether constitutional or not, the
la'". Is entirely unnecessary. That
tate had laws covering tho subject
of libel with sulllclent thoroughness to
give ample redress to any public oill
clal criticized wrongfully. Under those
lawp the olllclals criticized maliciously
ould bring criminal action against
both editors and publishers, while there
was also the alternative of suit for
civil damages growing out of Injury
sustained and proved. To a innu In
jured by a newspaper publication the
name of the writer of tho at tide Is
Immaterial so long as he can bring the
responsibility home to the publishers.
In many cases articles criticizing pub
lic otPeials are written at the direction
of publishers or managing editors, by
subordinates who simply obey orders.
The responsibility In such instance's
rightfully rests upon the directing mind
rather than upon tho agent, if a man
Is Injured by an act of an agent tho
law properly holds the principal ac
countable, assuming, of course, that
the act of the agent Is In the lino of
the agent's Instructions.
Newspaper criticism of public men,
especially in the direction of politics,
is too much inclined In this country
toward severity and toward the as
sumption of vicious motives. This
evil will In time work out its own cure.
Newspapers will discover, in the long
run, that in proportion as they deal
unfairly with men In public position
so will they lose influence among fair
minded readers and readers are doing
their own thinking, more and more day
by day. It already ts a fact that
the most popular men In public life
are often tbe worst abused men, and
the worse they arc hounded by the
press the stronger their hold becomes
upon public favor. This should not
be, for tho reason that newspapers
should not criticize without cause nor
attack officials without warrant. Hut
the fact that It is so Is ample assur
ance that the evil of reckless comment
carries with it Its own remedy.
The bookkeeping thrown up against
the defendant at tho Quay trial might
be designated as go-as-you-pleasj en
try. m
The Big Problem in Cuba.
The remark is attributed to (Jeneral
ilomez. In reference to brigandage In
Cuba: "All men are not angels and
hungry men will feed." This is true so
far as It goes, but It does not complete
the subject. The grent problem before
us In Cuba is not how to get food to
the hungry; It Is how to get the hungry
Into the way of earning their own food.
Kvery person who has visited Cuba
and observed Its conditions Intelli
gently testifies that among a large pro
portion of the native population there
Is an astonishing prevalence of lazi
ness. There are few places on the earth
where nature has been more lavish In
Its dlstiibutlon of natural advantages.
The soil Is Incomparably fertile. The
vnrletles of plant and tree life nre In
numerable, supplying well-nigh every
possible want. Drainage Is good, min
eral resources abound. In fact, tin re
aie almost all the natural elcnicn'..' of
an intricate nnd well-developed civil
ization, capable of maintenance on a
scale of magnificence superior In physi
cal aspects to any the world has vet
seen. The word "garden snot." well
Informed travelers tell us, affords
scarcely u hint of tho roalltv.
I'nfortunately, where every prospect
thus pleases there seems to be equal
unanimity of testimony that man him
self Is vile, the Illiterate Cuban inore
especially. The difference between the
average Cuban of limited education
who Is willing to work for n living nnd
the Cuban who prefers to steal for a
living Is not, unhappily, n difference
grounded In morals nnd arising from
a conscious difference In ethical stand
ards; It Is largely a difference In mere
circumstances. The worker works be
causo under the circumstances It Is less
troublesome to work ;ban to steal. The
brigand steals becaus-.- st-uillng Is more
to his liking. So far as the Inculca
tion among tho Cuban masses of prin
ciples of thrift and morality is con
cerned, Spain's government of Cuba
might as well not have existed. Tho
Spaniards In Cuba vvero thrifty and,
In commercial transactions, reasonably
honest becnuse, In contrast with the
unthrlft and tho moral Ignorance, and
anarchy of tho natives, they discov
ered that It paid them to bo so. They
left those natives to wallow In the mire
becauso they made the mistake of sup
posing that In that condition they
would be less likely to dispossess their
Spanish masters. ,
Men can and do work In Cuba, and
work hard. Some Spaniards did thin
nil the time, All Americans having
oillclal business In Cuba are doing ihlo
at present and setting un example
which tho world cannot beat. Hence
It cannot be nrgued thnt tho debilitat
ing climate Is altogether accountable
for the shlftlessnes and laziness of tlfe
lower Cuban classes. The trouble Is in
themselves. They have got to bo made
over. This Is going to be a gigantic
contract and it Is possible that few of
us will live to witness Its completion;
but as sure as fate, we have got to
lake hold of tho Job and go through
with It. As In our own country, among
the Illiterate foreigners or the "down
south poor white trash," It will prob
ably be discovered ns wo go along that
reformative effort on the present gen
eration of Illiterate Cuban adults Is
wasted; hut wo can teach tho children,
we can bring them up so that they will
know how to read, so lhat thev will
look at things from the best American
standpoints, and havo a working knowl
edge of tho tiolden Utile and the Ten
'Commnndments. This much Is hopeful
ground and the sooner American phil
anthropy starts In to cultivate It tho
sooner will It have the plensure of har
vesting an encouraging crop.
P.ecent news from Manila will give
Hie nntl-cxpanslonlsls their llrst op
portunity to rejoice during the entire
Philippine campaign.

Prosecution in
Qiiay Case Rests
IConcludt.il from Page 1.1
The witness admitted that he had
guessed In some Instance for whom
these Initials stood, and learned of
others from information received. It
was shown that In mote than one In
stance borrowers paid more Interest
than appeared on tho books, one pay
ing $1,163.34 interest whereas his ac
count was credited with tho payment
of only $525 and the balance not ac
counted for.
This ended the cross-examination and
the re-dlroct examination began.
The district attorney took up the
question of the relation letween Sena
tor Quay's deposit accounts and tho
transactions In stock on his order. The
witness stated there was little If any
connection.
Goldsmith was asked to state what
the books showed Senator Quay's bal
ance on deposit about various times
between April .10, 1S9G, and October 31,
1M17. He replied that tho balance
ranged from fifty cents to $10,000.50.
Witness then explained the relation
between the llgures In the "red book"
ami the regular books of the bank, and
elucidated the llgures entered on the
page devoted to the state deposit for
the six months ending October 31. ls'J
which apparently show the use
$200,000 of the deposit by Senator Quay
and the payment of Interest on the bal
ance. Hopkins' Private Memorandum.
Turning to the page devoted to what
Is apparently Hopkins' memoranda of
his private account with Senator Quay,
the witness explained Its relations to
certain entries and omissions In the
regular bank books.
At this point, the district attorney
offered a new piece of documentary
evidence In the shape of a sheet of
foolscap paper containing figures In
Hopkins hand-writing. The offer was
objected to by tho defence.
The district attorney declared that
It was in furtherance of proof of the
conspiracy and stated that It contained
entries of amounta loaned to call loan
borrowers and calculations of the in
terest collected on these loans. It
shows, he nrgued, the scheme adopted
by Hopkins to cover up the conspir
acy to the loan of State money for
tho benefit of the defendant.
The defence argueil that the paper
only contained figures and thero was
nothing to Indicate that It was nor.
fifteen or twenty years old. Tho dis
trict attorney offered to put living wit
nesses on tho stund, the call of loan
borrowers, who would corroborate the
llgures.
Mr. Watson argued tho legal points
calculated to exclude the paper.
Judge Diddle decided that the paper
Is ev.uenoo against Hopkins, nnd Is
therefore admitted as tending to prove
tho alleged conspiracy between Hop
kins and Quay. Witness Goldsmith
has stated that the ngures on the pa
per which wns found In Hopkins' pri
vate desk aided nlm In arriving nt his
conclusions regarding the whereabouts
of certain sums of money. The dl
ttiet attorney rend the paper to tlu
Jury promising to explain later thu
figures entered thereon.
Ex-State Treasurer Boyer n Witness.
Wlllam A. Karrett. a call loan bor
rower from the bank, was sworn. Ho
testified to having paid SIfi.03 Interest
on or about Oct. 31, 1897. on a call loan
made by the bank. A long list of other
witnesses testified similarly.
Kx-state treasurer and present di
rector of the mint. Henry D. Iloyer,
testified to paying $o0.ti".
Mr. Dciyer added some life to tha
otherwiso dry proceedings by turning
to Judge Diddle and asking permis
sion to make a statement concerning
ehnrges made against hhn while Iuih
was state treasurer. He said.
"I desire to nsk If I can bo per
mitted to make answer to tho district
attorney's allegations that payment of
Interest on state money was made to
mo while state treasurer."
Mr. Rothermel Interrupted by statin;:
to the court that nil testimony relating
to Mr. Uoyer had been stricken out
by the court's ruling, It being prior to
1S9C.
Judge niddb remarked that this was
so, and under tho circumstances ho did
not sco any reason for Mr. Hoyer inuk
Ing any statement.
Mr. Hoyer did not press for the privi
lege, but before leaving tho stand Im
said: "I simply wanted to explain
my position publicly, us I have been
publicly nttaoked,"
The examination of witnesses who
had paid Interest on call loans was
still In progress when a recess was
taken.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Lost Witnesses Examined for
the Commonwealth.
After the recess Oeorge V. Wldencr,
son of P. A. H. Wldencr. the strcot
railroad magnate, and David II. Lane,
n prominent Republican lender of this
city, testified to paying $3,701.30 and
$3(16.37 respectively as Interest on cnlt
lonns.
Meyer Goldsmith was recalled and
testified to ex-State Treasurer IS. J.
Haywood nnd J. W Morrison each
owing Interest on Oct. 31, 1S97. The
entries In tho books, he said, con
tained the Initials "U. II. J." and "J.
W. M.", nnd It was upon this he. based
his statement. Mr. Shields, In cross
examination, endeavored to draw from
the witness' examination of tho books
a contradiction of Mr. Wldener's tes
timony, but the witness said Mr. Wld
encr had not testified ns counsel In
dicated. The Question wus us to time,
Mr. Goldsmith stating tho books
showed Mr. Wldencr owed Interest on
Oct. 30. Tho name of Onirics II. M -Kce,
of Pittsburg, who has been fo
prominently connected with the case,
was then called, but there was no re
sponse. Mr. McKee was Included in
the charge of conspiracy nt the time
Senator Quay was arrested, but tho
grand Jury subsequently Ignored the
charges. District Attorney Rotherm'l
looked at the clock and then nr-iund
the room. Finding that Mr. JrcK..o
was not present, ho rose to npolog'.zi
to the court nnd nsk that tho pro
ceedings bo allowed to rest a while,
pending tho arrival of the missing wit
ness, who, he said, had promised to be
present nt 1.45 o'clock.
At tho same time the district, attor
ney made the Important announcement
that there were no more witnesses
whom he could place on tho stand for
the reason, though he did not want to
be bound by the assertion he was
about to make that there were only
two more witnesses that he deslrid io
examine In presenting his case. These
were Mr. McKeo and C. II. Woodruff,
neither of whom were present.
Mr. McKee on. the Stand.
In a few minutes, however, Mr. Mc
Kee came Into the room, and at one
took his place on tho witness stand.
"What is your profession?" asked
Mr. Hothermel.
"I am an attorney," was tho reply.
"Did you receive any money from
John S. Hopkins on Oct. 31, 1SD7, or
thereabouts?"
"No, sir. I think not. I received
money from John S. Hopkins about
six weeks subsequent to that time."
"What was the amount?"
"About $1,00."
"What was It for?"
"I received It in the course of my
employment as attorney for protecting
tho bondsmen of State Treasurer Hay
wood from the law."
"Did you receive any more money
from Hopkins In that year?"
"I did, In August."
"How much?"
"A simitar amount."
"What for?"
"For the same purpose."
"What did you receive on Oct. 51,
1SS6?"
"My recollection is that some time,
subsequent to tho date you mention I
received $2,450."
' For what purpose?"
"For the samo purpose."
"What amount did you receive after
April 30, ISO'J. from Hopkins?"
"About half tho amount, home $1,300."
"For the samo purpose?"
"Yes sir."
"Cross-exnmlne," said Mr. Itother-
I mel.
i
i -Mr. uuav was not. on t no uonctv
f! Mr. Shields nukoil thr rvttnrwe
"So
li"
"Sot a dollar of this was received
for Senator Quay?"
"I have no knowledge of that at nil."
"That Is all," nnd Mr. Shields waved
his hand in dismissal.
At this point the defense admitted
tho payment of $77.71 Interest on a call
loan by a Mr. Woodruff, who was not
present.
District Attorney Rothermel then an
nounced that tho commonwealth
closed. Ills announcement created
some stir and comment In tho court
room In view of tho generally ex
pressed expectation that sensational
and startling revelations might divulge
during the course of tho prosecution.
In order that the defence may have
an opportunity to prepare Its opening,
Judge Diddle adjourned court until to
morrow morning.
CITY SOLICITORSHIP FIGHT.
Mr. Vosburg Expects to Be Elected
at Tonight's Meeting.
There were strontr hopes in the
breams of the Vosburs men yesterday
that they will be noie to elect thslr
mun city solicitor at the adjourn ii
joint session scheduled for tonight. M.
James' absence from Tuesday night's
I meeting wns due to his being aielt
abed, they say, and ho will bo on hand
tonight.
Whether Mr. Sehroeder or Mr. Zlzle
man is also to be on hand, or whether
the Vosbure men will content them
selves with an election by twenty- -ae
members, was not given out. All that
they would say wus that Mr. Jam a
would be at the meeting and that th e
would be un election.
Mr. Gallagher's candidacy on the
Democratic side throws ndded ginger
Into the fight. Ills friends contend
that neither Mr. Vosburg nor Mr. Me
Olnley can be electeu, und that Mr.
Gallagher can assuredly make it.
Mr. Vosburg, us stated above, Is
assured by his friends that he will be
elected tonight. Mr. McOlnley is con- ,
fident that Mr. Vosburg will not bo
elected tonight or any other night, and j
that If he is not molested by Mr. Gal-
lugher he will win out. i
Mr. Gallagher called on Mr. McOln
ley yesterday and gave him formal no
nce OI Ills cuniiiuiicy. .m. .uvuimry
didn't tuke very ltlndly to this, nnd
among other things that passed be
tween them was a discussion as to
iir. Gallagher's eligibility. The law
requires that the city solicitor shall
bo un attorney qualified to practice
In the Supremo court nnd nn attorney
must havo practiced two years before
ha can apply for permission to prac
tice in the Supreme court.
Mr. Gallagher has been an attorney
virtually for six or seven years, but
has been at the bar less than two
years.
COUNTRY CLUB EXTENSION.
Permit for Its Construction Was
Granted Yesterday.
The Scranton Hallway company yes
terday secured from Street Commis
sioner O'lloyle a permit for tho con
struction of tho Country club extsn
slon. The line will extend out Wyoming
avenue from Green Itldge street to tro
lino of North Park; on Sunset avenue,
from AVyomlng to Its extension to
Electrlc to Washington nnd on Wash
Ington to Fnlrlleld avenue, near the
Country club house.
The work of construction will bo
commenced at once. The surveys were
miulo several weeks ago.
THRIVING.
From tho Plttstou Onzctte.
My, what rapid strides Industrially our
neighbors In Scranton aro making. We
can scarcely keep pace with the news of
lulilltlous and Improvements. The pa
pers of the Klectrlo City uro full of these
things. We nolo that tho new piano
factory which came from Jlrlilgcpott,
Conn., has begun operations, with onljrs
on Its books from all paits of the United
States. And announcement Is mailo that
tho Colliery Knglncer company proposes
to establish a mammoth printing estab
lishment and bookblndrry. The Ontario
and Western Railroad company has pur
chased a tract of land In tho northern
part of the cltv, with u view to the erec
tion of large shops. Tho Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western company also
figures on centering Its car building and
repair vvorlts In Rcrntiloii, and that mentis
employment for l.ooo additional hands!
And besides alt those new enterprises,
the Times a Democratic paper, by the
way Informs us that the older Industries
of the city Xro booming. Truly, Scran
ton has occasion for lejolcing.
