Wo are unable to understand why the Times should rage so because wfe allude to It as a "llag-lowerlng, rebel loving" paper. That Is what It Is. These few words embody the Pith of Its voluminous appeals for American nurronder to Agulnaldo's gang of cut throats. There Is no occasion for get ting mad at the truth unless It be that the truth nbout the Times' course, stripped of Its demagogical disguises, stings and Hays. Judge Edwards' Clinrge. r I " UK UNMISTAKABLE public Interest displayed In tho trial of the case ot the com monwealth for Ezra II. Rip ple against Richard Little nnd Michael J. O'Toolo is fully justified by the very Important features of testimony nnd law which this enso has developed. Some of these features we deem It proper to reserve for consideration un til after the trial shall have reached its conclusion In tho form of a published verdict; but In tho charge of Judge Edwards to the Jury, printed in full elsewhere, may be had a singularly able, accurate and Impartial review of the essential features, together with an interpretation of the libel law likely to stand for many yean as the stand ard for this community. We advise our readers to preserve It for future reference. It will undoubtedly become historic. Judge Edwards' charge makes very plain nnd clear the location of the lines which separate privilege under tho constitutional Kuaranteo of the freedom of tho press from the nbuse of that privilege which degenerates Into attempted theft of private character or the malicious prostitution of the power of the press to Ignoble and dirty private ends. It opens wide the door to the freest discussion ot official ac tions and to the fullest Investigation of tho character of men seeking polit ical office or public authority; but it places the Just nnd wise restriction that this discussion and this Investi gation shall be from proper motives and for justifiable ends. No door Is opened to wanton attacks upon private character conceived in envy, greed or hate. In a proper sphlt oven hearsay evi dence regarding political methods may bo discussed In the public press; but before currency Is given in print with editorial Invective to current rumor imputing guilt to any citizen the law expects of the responsible publisher reasonable diligence In investigation. The first vague breathing of accusa tion is not to lie grabbed with insane haste and thrown into sensational Jour nalism's ever-busy hopper, to bo con verted by glaring headlines and tho tricks and arts of tho scandal-monger Into a monstrous mennce to tho public peace. The occasion which called forth this judicial opinion will nt the proper time or times receive In these columns tho full attention which It deserves and demands. So long as antl-expanslon lectures bring an Income of $2,500 a week Colo nel Hryan need not be expected to waste much more eloquence upon tho silver dream. Anthracite's Outlook. IN ITS ISSUE ot yesterday the Philadelphia Press presented a few statements with reference to the anthracite coal trade which are reasonably accurate and certainly interesting. It said: "The work of re-establishing the an thracite coal Industry Is beginning to show results, after many years of patient labor. The trade may be said to have been in a declining state for nearly thirty years. During the Civil war there was a large Increase in the output of coal, nnd great fortunes were made by producers, owing to a heavy ndvanco In tho price. This period of prosperity was followed by a decline In the price of coal, a long, protracted and expensive contest with tho em ployes. Tho policy ot acquisition of coal lands for tho purpose of originat ing tonnage nbsorbed a very large amount of capital, which proved un productive and brought about violent competition between the producers, and It was followed by a long: period of depression, the bankruptcy of tho Heading and several other leading companies, nnd large losses to tho holders of the securities of most of the carrying companies. For fifteen years tho process ot reorganization and a re establishment of the business on a sub stantial basis has been going on. "This task In Its early and lato etuges has been one of alow develop ment, and thV outcome was discour aging for years, as tho owners of .the Reading property can testify. Reor ganization succeeded reorganization, fixed annual charges wero reduced and other means token to re-establish sta bility, but it was not until the owner ship t coal properties became more ooncCntrat'cd that real headway was mader Tor" Several years' a large pro- portion of the nnthrnclto producing nnil carrying trndct linn practtcalty been under tho control of a number of lending capitalists, with tho amc Interests nt stake, but even nlnco this consolidation of Interests there lins been slower vrogress than might have been expected. Ovrr-enplttillsntlon nnd the competition It made necessary has delayed tho placing ot this great Industry on a substantially prolltable basis, under the ruling nnd existing conditions. For two years or more there lias been steady, If slow im provement, and 1809 promises to be a most satisfactory year, and to prom iso that the great problem will yet .bo satisfactorily worked out. "Tho amount of coal sent to market this year promise to bo tho largest In. tho history of the tradi-. nnd prices have been fairly romuneratlv.!, Tho output for the calendar yenr to Sep tember 30 was 3:1,510,000, an Increase of nearly G.300.00C toiiM iu compared with tho same period In 1S9S, and 3.000,03 more than In 1M)0. The stocks of ecal on hand nru lighter than at any time recently nnd they ate falling, though tho total is not more tihrin three or four days' supply. The demands o( con sumers will tas: the capacity of tho mines nnd the transporting companies i from this time to the end of the sea eon, nnd possibly throughout tho wlnt- er months. The capncllty of tho mines j nnd the railroads for tho thre 'umaln Ing months of tho year Is estimated nt nbout 4,500,00 per month, which, would make the output of marketable coal ! for the year more than. 47,000.000 tons. This is equivalent to D.000,000 tons above the production of 1SDS or 1S117, nnd 4,000,000 tons above that of 1SD0. The mice o coal Is fairly maintained on tho basis of nbout $1 per ton for stove in New York harbor. It is not unlikely that the heavy demand next month will result In an advanrq on these figures, but it is understood that there is nn indisposition on the part of the leading companies to demand more than $4.25 per ton. There will be dirilculty to 1111 orders front now until December, and the year, as a whole, will be one of largo and prollt able business to Pennsylvania's great and unique industry." The re-establlshmsnt of the anthra cite Industry upon a prosperous basis will be hastened by mutual consider ation of each others' Interests and rights on the part ot employers and employes engaged In it. It is to be regretted that Attorney John T. Lenahan, who on Monday and Tuesday showed In his conduct of tho defence in tho Scrantonlan libel case legal ability of the highest order, should on Wednesday huve marred his high reputation by a plea not only not confined within the llmUa ot evidence uui bo uiuuuiy auuaive in piaeea ; as to recall the admonition once given to Mr. Lenahan by tho Supreme court o" Peniir sylvanla In a celebrated matter of judicial record. It Ih true that the vir ulence of this denunciation was a mere lawyer's artifice to cover up a bad case and clvo a return for a gen erous fee; but, apart from any possible bias In tho matter, it hed the effect to reveal Mr. Lenahan in a poorer light to court and public thnn he had stood In prior to tho delivery thereof; and we can hardly think so $11 of a Lacka wanna county jury as to believe that It did Mr. Lenahan's clients any good. Senator Penrose in Ohio. T -IIERE HAVE been assertions tnat Pennsylvania s repre sentation In the United States senate has lacked In the ability to take a dignified and creditable part In tho public discus sion of great political problems. What ever truth there may havo been In thin criticism in prior times we see no reason to believe It at present. The speeches of Senator Penrose, in the senate and out, stand forth as models of accuracy, information and high tenor; and very notable are these characteristics In the speech delivered by him at Wooster, O., last Monday night, when he spoke In response to an invitation extended by tho Ohio Republican state committee. Wo quote from that address: "Everyone familiar with our Inter national relations nt the time of the battle of Manila and with the then existing conditions Is persuaded that to have receded would have been 1m posslblo.After the treaty of peace, the Philippine Islands became ours, be longing to us ns absolutely as any other part ot the United States. For the president to have faltered for a moment In tho course he pursued In upholding American authority and in enforcing American treaties and laws, might have resulted, not alone In the adverse criticism of any patriotic American citizen, but In his actual Im peachment by congress. Tho fact that our responsibility may he heavy Is no excuse for a failure to discharge It. Can any citizen doubt, therefore, that It is his duty and his Interest to sustain the National Admlnlsra tlon at every point while this" contest Is pending? "Tho president ot the United States has had imposed upon him a tremen dous task; that ho has been equal to the emergency is admitted by everyone. He has been patriotic, courageous and generous upon every occasion. He has not made an error in utterance or action at ony time. In the many dellcato questions of diplomacy he has been a safe and guiding spirit, and more than this, 'In the unparalleled undertaking of or ganizing an army and organizing an other army for the disbanding of tho first one, nnd In providing for the transport service across the Pacific, he has exercised iv personal super vision nnd displayed a remarkable ex ecutive ability. It Is dlfllcult to real ize how any citizen can falter at this time to support him and tho Repub lican party, or to In any way give encouragement to our party opponents who, by specious argument and false pretence, endeavor to get Into power. "Do not let us bo terrified by the dreadfu'l resoonsibllltlrit conjured In tho Imaginations of our Democratic . opponents ns tho result of what they are pleased to term 'Imperialism and Expansion.' Ah a matter of fact, ever since tho formation of the Union, ter ritorial expansions have been going on upon an enormous scale, each In turn deprecated and opposed by many of our most thoughtful statesmen ns Buro to result In national ruin, nnd each In turn accepted nnd npproved 1J" tho verdict of posterity. Ab the reputation of a statesmnn whatever may be his brilliancy seldom survives unless his actions and utterances have been Identified with Issues ultimately successful nnd accepted and approved by posterity, these oppositions to prog ress are burled in oblivion. When, however, wo hear despairing predic tions of tho downfall ot republican In stitutions to result In the annexation of tho Hawaiian Islands and l'orto lllco, and a responsible supervision of the affairs ot Cuba, it Is not dlfllcult, and It Is certainly consoling to recall that similar forebodings have been ex pressed on rovernl previous occasions, nnd havo In every Instance been proved without foundation." After referring to' the purchase of Florida and Alaska and tho cession of Texas, Senntor Penrose said: "So far this series of territorial expan sions has been Justified by its results. It may bo said with reason that these were all of contiguous territory, ex cel)! Alaska, in a. temperate climate nlmost uninhabited, capable of colonl zation by peoplo of our own country. It may bo said with cqunl reason that the comparatively small amount of Uland territory recently annexed con stitutes strategic positions relative to rur continental domain of great Im portance from a commercial and naval point of view. I take It that a major ity of tho American people have no apprehension as to the difficulties to be encountered In regulating this terri tory. Let us establish equal suffrage upon a moderate and conservative basis. Let us extend to these possess ions, so far ns It Is practicable, the principles of self government, religious toleration, the Amerlcnn system of common schools, a free nnd honest ju diciary; and there Is every Indication that there will open before us a mag nificent destiny. That the possibilities of the future should be assured to our people, to my mind, Is clearly Involved In the question of the continuance of Republican supremacy." We submit this speech In evidence as proof that Pennsylvania now has a senator who can not only talk, but talk well and to the point.

I Loyal Democrats, and there nre mll ! lions of them, must blush for their i party and the reputation which Its I would-be leaders are making for It when they read Agulnaldo's latest j manifesto, In which he says that "In 1 America there Is a great party that Insists upon the government's recbg- nlzlng Filipino Independence, and .we should pray God that the great Demo cratic party shall win at the next election, and Imperialism fall In its mad attempt to subjugate us by force of arms."

It Is a pleas ure to announce thatthouch these cit izens of tho Orient havo heard of Dew ey, they are not at all warlike, and find more pleasure In the contempla tion of a package of navy plug than In the most convincing argument ever placed In pamphlet form by (Edward Atkinson. A number of young Frenchmen, It is said, are desirous of organizing a regiment of rough riders to fight for tho Boers. This will probably not cause much alarm In tho English camp, but it will certainly ba better business for the restless Parisians than ex pressing sympathy by lighting bonfires nnd rioting In the streets. People who watch tho herculean ef forts of the railroad companies to handle thelr unprecedented freight traffic will agree with Mr. llryan's recent reluctant statement that "There seems to be some prosperity." It the revolution In Venezuela con tinues tho government may be obliged to recruit the fighting force of the army up to 48 men. It begins to look now as though Agulnaldo had begun to realize that he has been sufficiently vindicated.

At tho gathtrlng of tho retail grocers In St. Joseph last Tuesday night reminis cences wero txchntiged, says tho Herald or that Mace, and many wero tho tales which tho grocers told on each other. Ono grocer, who now ei.joys the distinction of being tho lending grocer In his section of tho city, tells a tale on himself which bears rcpcutlng. .It happened when be wns now In the business. One day a tplco salesman, rep resenting nn eastern firm, called on him. Tho grocer said ho didn't need anything In his line. That was the natural thing to say, however, nnd It uldn't worry tho salesman a bit. Ho talked on In hope of getting an order. Said he. "Whero do you buy your pepper now?' "I buy it of S. & Co." "Oil, I wouldn't buy their pepper, its half peas." "Oh, you are mistaken there, they do not adulterate anything. That's tho way with you salesmen, von nre nlways run ning down ycur competitors." "I don't care whnt you say, I'm willing to wager that S. & Co 's pepper Is half ptaB." "Very well, I'll bet you a dollar it Isn't." Tho money was put up, whereupon the traveling man proceeded to prove tho cor rectness of bis assertion. This was eas ily done. Taklrtg a pencil ho wroto p-e-p-p-e-r. "Half p's," he explained.

"Extremely sorry," said the maltro d'hotel, "but there is no more sturgeon." Tho emperor perhaps swore softly to himself, perhaps he merely whistled or hummed. Anyhow, after a pause, ho suit for the stewnrd of the nalace, who Inquired, In some surprise, what his ma jesty was pleased to want. "I want to know." said the emperor, "how much sturgeon you bought for my dinner to day?" "Ono thousand pounds, your ma jesty," replied tho steward. "Then next tlmo buy a thousand pounds and a half," said tho emperor, "so that I may havo a second help." Origin of Famous Word. Stuart Robson thinks he has discovered tho origin ot tho word "deadhead" as used in theatrical parlance. "Fifty years ago," said the great come dian, "the principal avenue of Detroit led to a tollgate close to tho entranco of tho cemetery. As this cemetery had been laid out some tlmo previous to tho construc tion of the plank road, It was arranged that nil funeral processions should bo al lowed to pass along the latter toll free, Ono day as Dr. Pierce, a well-known phy sician, stopped to pay his toll ho ob served to his gate-keeper " 'Considering the benevolent character of our profession, I think you ought to let us pass free of charge.' " 'No, no, doctor," replied the man, 'wo enn't afford that. You send too many deadheads through here as It Is.' "Tho story traveled," adds Mr. Robso.i, "and tho word became fixed."
