The Marion Clarke Case.
Although not nil the farts In the
Mai Ion Clatke abduction case tiro et
known, one fact stands foith conspleu
ovly In thl! and In lecent similar cases
the practical impossibility of carry
Ins such a crime throiiRh to completion
without detection. The case of Charley
Koss happened a generation ago. Since
that time the avenues of publicity and
thf detective resounes of the people
have multiplied Indescribably. One
cannot say positively that were the
Charley ftosq ens-e to happen again
Justice would not a second time he bat
tled; but the strong probabilities are
that It would not. No .ue ot kidnap
ing since Chat ley Kost' time has been
permanently successful.
As the situation Is now In the more
civlllrrd communities the man 01 wo
man who plans to lommlt tilme must
reckon upon a probability of detection
amounting almot-t to a ceitalnty. De
tection, unfortunate ty, Is by no means
equivalent to punishment. The chances
for delays in the legal piogic-s from
apprehension to 1I11.1I tilul are. If any
thing, more numeiotis than they weie
a generation ago. The lesouues of the
legal profession In deilng methods to
surest the foiw.ird movement of justice
and the tendency to ubonatlons in
public f-entlmrnt which operate against
prompt and Impartial Justice are gi eat
er today than nt any prior time; and
this must be one reason why crime is
Increasing. 13ut In propoitlon to the
cilmcs which aie committed the num
ber detected Is, wo feel confident, great
er than ever before.
In the Cl.uke case the recoveiy of
the stolen child will speedily be fol
lowed by the arrest and detention of
the Instruments of its abduction Then
will come the oppaitunity fot society to
rhow that it Is as firm In its Insist
ence upon correctional and ocmplaiy
punishment as it was film in insisting
that the child herself should be teeov
cied. A case which has leeched the
publicity of the Claike case would
draw to a lame and a lamentable con
cluslcn If the cm tain should fall upon
an Incomplete administration of lustlce
upon the consplratois who petpetiatcd
this peculiaily despicable outiage.
The exchange which occurred jester
day In the otllce of building inspector
lenders it proper to say that In John
Nelson the city bad an official who
'thouiughly understood his business and
was faithful, conscientious and efficient.
May his successor do as well.
The Civil Set vice Order.
"With tespect to the president's re
cent order exempting from clll set vice
rules certain ottlces of a peculiarly con
fidential nature, Secretary Gage, u
thorough-going ciil sen Ice ruf owner,
sajs the only reason theie Is adverse
criticism is because the facts in the
case are not generally understood He
mentions in particular the exemption
of deputy collectors of Internal reve
nue, concerning which he explains
that dejmty collectois ate not ap
pointed by the bead of the Treasury
depaitmcnt and aie not directly amen
able to him.
"The law authorizing the appoint
ment of deputy collectors of internal
levenue gives the power of appoint
ment to the collectors," saj,s Hecietaij
Gage. "The deputies aie lesponsilile to
the collectois only, and not to the gen
eral government. The iesponslbIllt. to
the government Is through the collec
tor, a lesponslbillty for which the dep
uty must give bonds to the collector.
The collectors are responsible for the
action of these deputies, both to the
public and to the government, and con
gress, ictognlzlng that fact, gave to
the collectois the appointing power. I
believe these reasons leave no loom fm
discussion as to the pioprletj of e.
ceptlng tbese plates fioni the classllled
service."
A parallel case to the pl.it lug ot dep
uty collectors under civil set vice lules
would be presented If the ticusuier of
the Delavvaie, Lackawanna and West
ern Railroad company should be re
quired by law to appoint men us pay
masters or lecelveis of company funds,
not on their character for honcstj and
business leliabillty, but accoidlng to
theli grading In a seiie.-. of wiltten
examinations coveilng intiicate points
In geogiaphy, nlgebia, and vailous
other academic studies. The collector
of Internal levenue, being under bonds
to the United States government for
the ildellty of his deputies, ought cer
tainly to have an unrestricted voice In
selecting those deputies. lli, nnd not
they, would have to settle If govern
ment funds should be lost tluough their
carelessness or dishonest) , and the
principle Involved In this ease of dep
uty revenue collectois Is vli'ually the
pumo ptlnclple undeiljing the other
exceptions contained within the execu
tive's recent order.
It Is time for the exeiclsc by the peo-ptd-ot
common bense in the matter of
civil seivice reform. Public opinion
lightly condemns the old-fashioned
view of political success at a national
election us confer! ing upon the leader
ship of the victorious party nvvneishlp in
fee simple of every plate In the govern
ment service, to be peddled out or given
away In payment of partisan or uei
sonal debts or on a commission busU
calculated to swell the Income ot the
dispenser of pjttonage. When Piesl
dent Truesdale took hold of the Dela
tvate, Lackawanna and Wettern he
made certuln thunges In positions of
executive icsponslblllty but he did not
cQiisldcr, nor would any intelligent
railway dliectorate permit him to con
sider, the cntlte number of places on
the company puy-ioll, down to the er
rand boss and sciub-women, ns per
quisites, to bo divided among ft lends
without legurd to the Interests of the
service.
Hut while Mr. Trucsdale does not dis
turb the great body of routine em
ployes he has, us the tesponslblo head
of the company charged with the exe
cution of certain new policies of man
agement, a light to wield authority
over tesponslblo lieutenants sulllclent
to biing them Into uccord with the
policies In his keeping. That Is the
business-like view of a problem similar
to the problem which conftonted Tiesl
dciit .MclClnley before ho Issued his
otdei excepting teitnln olilces from
civ II set vice rules The genufnc kind of
i Ml service reform Is the kind which
deos not unnecessatllv and to no good
purpose tie the hands ot men deemed
by the people (It to be entrusted with
authority
No cltlen of Kcr.inton, whatever his
politics or foction, will begrudge to

Importance of the Speakership.
In the course of an nitlcle upon the
canvass for the speakership of the next
longicss the esteemed Philadelphia
Ledger lemarks as follows:
It 1- unfortunate that sectionalism
should have arisen in connection wlih
the ppr.ikeishlp, bi.t In certain quarters
the tnoie preposterous demand Is heard
tlmt no man should bi chosen speaker
ot the house who Is not pledged to sup
port the nrimlnlstuitlou and all Its
woiks Jf the speaker's duties anil func
tions wen- similar to those of a cabinet
ofllcir, who is the peisonal appointee of
the preside nt a member ef his ollkl.il
famllv a conllilentlal ndvWcr and admln
Isti.itot chosen lugelv on peisonal
tfiounds ll imlsibli) at will and ac
(ountiibte to tin executive, there would
be some lcasim for oxnctlng from him
tlio promise to follow the lead e f the ad
ministration A cabinet olllccr must le
speit the wishes of the piesldent or ic
slun. but the speakei of the hou of
tepresintativcs minis on f.ir different
Kiound He is in the lli-t pi ice as u
i nnuiessman. n, irmecnt.itlvo of his
constituents, and, sicoidlv, .i snaker,
chosen lij the li preventatives of tin
whole people of the land be ipprc-cuts
all tho citizens ot the I'nltcd States Ho
Is tho bead of the populir branch of
the IrgNliitlvn powci oP the notion The
constitution bis clothed him wlla exten
sive powers, which mike him the second
man In the government. He I able, by
reason of his position and functions to
guide forward, block or kill legislation
His power, an enormous, hW lespunsl
bllltlis me lust ns great, nnd it Is birdlv
neeessHij to s iv th it he is lesponslhle
primarily to the bouse which chose him,
ami. In n broader sense Is just as much
accountable to the people tni his con
duct is Is the president No honor ihle
man who bus tegatd to his oilh and his
nbllgitlnns to his counlrv would pledge
hlmelf to beeomo a meie clerk to regl'
tei any administration s policies, and
thus do all In his power to nnl.e the
legislative ilir.iiic.ti snivel v lent to the
executive This government Is one of
theikr and bal mccs aid its ariminblo
ouilltlrs depend upon pic-ervlnjr both In
their letter and spirit, the safeguards
piovided b the constitution.
In theory much which our contem
poiaiy here sas Is true; but Its stote
ment omits to consider ceitaln piactl
cal conditions which cannot safely be
dlsiegatdcd by those enti listed with
official lesponslbillty In the first
place, when an executive task of great
magnitude has to be pel formed, along
lines fashioned by enngtess, it is
proper that the executive upon whom
will rest the ptalse or blame for the
doing of this task should have an ad
visory voice in the flaming of the un
derlv Ing legislation. Congress may
have the powei, under a nairow in
teipietation of the constitution, to di
lect the piesldent to attempt Impossi
bilities; but congress would not be
Justified In using this power simply
to show- its spirit of independence. At
the existing time, when gic.u pioblems
piess for solution In accordance with
the best wisdom of all men In public
life, would the ledger desiic to have
In tho oltlce of speaker a man out of
sympathy with the president's views
and icady to use his gie.it power lath
er to obstiuct and to complicate than
to forward the public business'
To say that the speaker Is "lesponsl
ble to the house" Is tiue; but the best
time for the house to make him lealize
that lesponslbillty Is befoio Its elects
him. Men have been known to roach
the office of speaker who afteiward
took good cue that nothing short of
.m earthquake should cause them to
discover theli lesponslbillty. It has
never been pioposed, nor would un
man lit for the speakership for an In
stant consider the idea, to bind the
speaker over by piedgo to become a
meie cleik to the piesldent. Hut be
tween this extreme view and the other
view- of the speakeishlp as the abso
lute piopeit of its occupant for the
turtheiaiuo of bis peisonal opinions
theie Is a medial position which com
mon sense should locate and pre-empt.
At the pieent time, the administra
tion, which means the Republican
paity lepie.sentlng a latge majority of
the voters of the nation, has before
ceitaln eiy impoitnnt and complicated
tasks Tm enable It to go tluough with
thtse tasks ciedltably and expeditious
ly the president must not pull one way
and the speaker another: both must
by mutual conference nnd free pailla
mtnt among theli friends and associ
ates lind out what should be done and
then pull together in doing it. This
Is all there is to the demand which
gives the Philadelphia Ledger so much
alarm the demand for the elevation
of no man to the speakeishlp who is
not known In advance to be on ftlendly
terms and In petsonul accord with
tho leaders of his party and, chief
among these, the president of the Unit
ed States.
The thing for Chief Walker to do Is
to prove by his actions that Council
man Roche's portrait was Incoriect.
A Question of Veracity,
During the naval battle of Santiago
Commodoto Schley stood at one end of
a speuklng tube on board tho JJrook
lyn and Lieutenant Hodgson, the ves
sel's navigating ofllcer, stood at tho
opposite end. Reside Schley stood
Geoigo Edvvnrd Graham, of Albany, tho
correspondent of the Associated Press,
Hodgson Btood alone. Nobody was
near enough to him to bear what
Schley said to him or what he said to
Schley; but Qrabam, at Schley's tide,
could nnd says ho did overhear what
ever Schley said.
It was charged some months ago by
the New Yoik Hun, on hearsay evi
dence, that when Schley gave orders
to Hodgson for the sudden monoeuvcr
of the Urooklyn which Increased Its
course during the running sea light nt
Santlngo and kept the Urooklyn out of
tho range of the cross fire between tho
other American ships and tho guns of
Cervcra Hodgson protested, alleging
that If ho oboved Schley's older the
Riooklyn might tun down the Texas,
wheieiipon, according to tho Sun,
Schley said: "Damn the Texas. Let
the Texas take care of itself!"
Mr. a in mi in declares that Schley
never said nnv thing resembling this;
but Lloutennnt Hodgson comes to the
rescue ot the Sun by giving It his au
thotlty for tho accusation. On the one
hand, therefoie, we have a lieutenant;
on the other, an admlial and a disin
terested newspnper correspondent of
known reliability and fairness. Tho
pteponderance of testimony as well ns
the buiden of credibility Is against the
lieutenant; but the matter Is of enough
historic Interest to excite tho wish that
Hodgson may be summoned before a
naval court of Inquiry, there to make
good his serious charge against a su
perior olllccr or, falling that, to be dis
missed from the service In dlsgiace.
Prom the position Indicated by the
visit of Private Secretary Hatton to
the Barber agent for the purpose of
negotiating a discreditable deal to that
outlined in the mayor's ultimate veto
Is a long distance, and it tepresents
the violations In attitude to which a
public official who diavvs his Inspira
tion from the galleries and apparently
has no lixod convictions of his own Is
liable What the present mayor of
Scianton gicatlv needs is a chart, a
compass and a few good friends who
me not trying to play him for their
selfish put poses.
The Plttsbuig Dispatch seems to be
about the only I'lllplno newspaper in
Pennsvlvanla. The Dispatch has for
some time past been keeping up a con
stant fire of peevish ciltlclsm of the
admlnistiatlon, on the Philippine ques
tion, but foi tunately has been able to
do but little harm. The utterances of
tho Dispatch have long since ceased to
be legal deel In any other light than
those of .i gairulous old granny.
In continually making faces at promi
nent Republicans thtnughout the state
who aie fiiendly to Senator Quay, the
Philadelphia Ptess piuctlces a small
boy pieiosative which is neither popu
lar nor, so far ns wo can see, in the
slightest degree beneficial. Why it
does this Is a mystery.

Rochester Post-Uxpre-s
THK most imptrtant contribution to
the hl-toiy of the outbieak of
Hostilities in Luzon is tho icport
ot Ucncial Oils lust made public
by the war depaitmcnt. It Is a
complete retutation ot tho thaice often
nuido that tho Americans weie tho ns
gressois. It blicws, too, that at no time
did the recognize even by implication
tho government headed by Agulnaldo.
-o
In a letter to tho I'llMno leader, dated
Jan 9, in icguid to a conference of com
mittees representing the American and
I'llipino governments, Gencial Otis was
puillculutlv cuieful to disavow am ac
tion thut c ould bo construed inti a recog
nition "J cannot." he said, utter call
ins attention to the fact tbnt he was
meiely an agent of the United States
government, conducting Its affairs under
limitations laid down by the constitution
and the laws of congress, "lecognlze any
national or civil government, unless es
pedallv authorized to do so bv the In
structions of tho executive of the United
States. For this reason, 1 was unable to
lecelve officially the representatives of
the rcvolutionaiy government, and en
deavoted to make that Inability clear to
the distinguished gentlemen with whom
1 bad tho pleasuro to converse a few
evenings since. You will bear witness
that my course throughout my entire of
tidal connection with nftalis hero has
been consistent, and It has pained mo
that I have not been able to receive and
answer tho communications of the cabi
net ofllceis of the government of Mulalos,
fearing that I might be erioneously
chaised with lack of courtesy." It any
one can detect double dealing In these
frank and honest words, lie Is capable of
peicelvlng what does not exist.
o.
Tho deslio of General Otis to main
tain peaceful lelatlons with the Filipinos
Is equally clear from tho same letter.
After speaking "of the seilous misunder
standing which exists between tho Phil
ippine people and tho iciucsentatlves of
tho United States." which, It was hoped,
tho proposed conference would dispel, h
said. "I am governed by a deslra to
further tho interests ot tho Philippine
peopie, and bhall continue to lubor with
that end In view There sh ill bo i.o
conflict of forces If I am able to avoid It;
und still I shull endeavor to maintain a
position to meet 1 11 emergencies that
ma iillso." As tho Filipinos continued
In pursue n courso of hostility tov.nrd
Ibo Americans, proceeding to the extent
of aiiisting seme American soldiers anl
a newspaper conespondent, General Otis
wrote another letter, expiesslng the same
desire for pence. At 'ho same tlmo ho
refused to believe that these minlfesti
tlons of hostility wcio duo to i expansible
persons. Ho attiibuted the in to the "ma
chinations f evil dUpocd persons." Jn
reply to Agulnnldo's contention tint ti
American m rested were Inside of the
Filipino line in disregard of oiders, Gen
eral OtU saya that they wcte within his
own lines. Hut whatevtt may be the
truth about this point, It Is evident thvt
tho American authorities spared no ef
fort to preserve peace.
THE UNEMPLOYED.
Prom the Philadelphia Press.
"Every man,' sulci Mnjor Jones, of
Toledo, In a recent speech befuro the
chuiltles confjiencc, "Is entitled by the
laws of God to work. If ho cannot get
It something Is i itten In thu social hjh
tern." How about something lotten in
tho man? Major Jones has nothing to
say about Unit. Doubtless thu "lavvM of
God" entitle a man to work. Any able
bodied, honest, earnest, Industrious mall
can lead thut title clear In any American
farming, district In nil jears and In
every American clt.v In all but eais of
great demission. IJnt the precise dim
cultj with tho "uncmplojed" is not the
"laws of God" or for that matter of
society which "entitle" a man to woilc
but the stieclul and personal law ot the
Individual man which be has enacted
and piuctlccs to get an Idle life.
o:
It is not lack of work or the "Ineqinl
Itles ot the social sjstem- Unit keep

views am nlwavs sajlng that. LojIc
Into any Individual case of the chronic

or less work ot work that suits or woiit

he Is careless or ou.vrrelsome nnd docsn t
ngico with employer or his fellow woik
nian, or he drinks, or he "cnmps work
or ho Is liresulur nnd has tho vacation
habit largely developed. Any man who
will soberly addicss himself to the
dreary procession of men who stop jou
on the stiect nnd tell ou they nro ready
to work will find they are out of work
because, they nro the kind ot men who
when trade slackens aie always first
dropped or who when trade Is brisk don't
keep a place.
'o:
One would hnaplne from Mayor Jones'
speech and speeches like his that the
woods wcro full of men In the tanks of
tho unemploj eel strong, able-bodied hon
est. Industrious, willing men, anxious to
work earlj and late and wonjiug no-bodv-
as long as they get woik, plenty

men, but they aro not "unemployed
They have places They keep them
The "laws of God" work with great u
turaey In their case The "laws ot God '
work with equal accuracy for the unem
plovcd. If n man does not work neither

a man can pick nnd chooso us to his
work until ho has earned tho light to

country liko this Is self-caused I'or a
season some financial disaster may leave
,i man out of woik, but e.en then If he
really wants work and has made a per
sonal reputation for wanting woik he
will get It.
:o.
If on the other hand, be Insists on a

I know a lady who was troubled with what her doctors termed
intestinal indigestion. Her last doctor had her pursue the Salisbury
treatment, which consists of eating only beef and bread dried it; the
oven and drinking all the hot water she could. 1 have seen hr-r in the
office where she is employed walk along with a glass filled with witcr
steaming hot. The Salisbury treatment did give her home relief and
she persisted in it for three months.. It was then that .she was indue ed
to try Ripans Tabules, and liow she finds that there are meny eatables
(chicken for instance) which she was not allowed to cat at first which
she can now eat without distress. She says Ripans Tubules seem to
counteract the aridity of her stomach. Their effect upon her has been
wonderful and the relief she gets is as much as she ever experienced
with the Salisbury treatment, and she can now choose from a more
liberal bill of fare,
