mon without conscience or scruple,
ruddy to resort to nny dirty trick to
gain a personal end or blackguard an
opponent.
For Superior Court Judge.
TN THE SELECTION of ex-Senator
John I. Mitchell, of Tioga
JL county, to fill the place on tho
state ticket vacated by Joslah
R. Adams' resignation, the Republi
can state committee have chosen wise
ly. Judge Mitchell's name will go
on the ottlclal ballot; It will command
very cordial support from nil classes
of tho party and people; and all that
remains will bo simply to compute the
mnjority.
Judge Mitchell is a native of Tioga
county, where he was born In 1S3S.
Tic received a common school educa
tion and attended Ilucknell univer
sity for two years. For a short time
before the I'lvll war broke out he was
a teacher, but soon after the war be
gan ho enlisted In the 136th regiment
of Pennsylvania volunteers and be
came a captain. Io was admitted to
tho bar in 1804, and from 188S to 1871
was district attorney for Tioga coun
ty, being a part of that time tho editor
of the Tioga County Agitator. He
represented his county from 1872 to
187C In the house at Harrlsburg, serv
ing as diali man of the committees on
wnys and" means and on judiciary. He
served two terms in congress, the
Forty-fifth and Forty-sixth. In 18S1
he was elected to represent thj state
In the United States senate to su -eced
William A. Wallace. His election
was the result of a compromis?,
reached at the end of the memorable
struggle between the Cameron 'action,
then In control in the state nisaniza
tlon, which attempted to force the elec
tion of Henry W. Oliver, of Pittsburg,
nnd the Independent Republicans, who
supported Oalusha A. Grow.
Judge Mitchell Is a man of fine
character and presence; he possescs
a well-trained nnd Judicial mind; po
litically he Is clean and conservative
and there Is no reason why any Re
publican In the state should vote
against him.

A Problem In Pathology.
fY AICEN IN connection with
I the furious thetoiij which
, fl . has flourished in certain
quarters dining the pist
few years against tho imnglnary thing
or condition called "Connelllsm," to
which has been' Imputed about every
crime in the catalogue short ot wilful
murder, what are we to Infer from
the exhibition made In court on Sat
urday if not that too much ''Connell
lsm" hath dethroned Its critics' rea
son? Tho Standard dictionary defines In
sanity to be "a persistent morbid con
dition of mind duo to some form ot
disease of the brain or nervous pya
tem, usually characterized by defic
iency or loss of volitional und rational
control, by excessive .tctlvlty of the.
fantasy, and by derangement or per
verted action of onti or more of tho
mental faculties."
One week ago this evening, John
Gibbons met William Loftus of Car
bondale In the St. Cloud hotel by ap
polntmtnt and there discussed with
him the matter of Loftus' candidacy
for a government appointment. Not
wishing to proclaim this candidacy
from the housetops, tho till; of these
two men waB moderated but there was
no exceptional secrecy. They Btood
where they could easily be seen and
where their movements could easily bu
watched. As a matter of fact, one
Ellsworth Davis, together with onol
Ebenezer Davis, both saw and watched
Gibbons and Loftus distinctly; and
behold the result!
On Saturday morning, four full days
Intervening, the two DaviFcs are
brought Into court to swear that Wil
liam Loftus, to tho best of their
knowledge and belief, was not William
Loftus, at all, but E. R. Allen, a juror
In the Rlpple-I.lttle libel rase. This
hallucination hnd been swallowed with
avidity by Little's counsel and made
one of the points, underlying their
motion for a new trial, In spite of the
fuct that at any time, during those
four Intervening' days, fifteen minutes
spent by Cornelius Smith, esq,, by Na
than Vldaver, esq., or by either or both
of their part of original mIalnforma.nt,
in Intelligent research would have been
sufficient to establish that neither E.
It. Allen nor any other Juror had been
nnywhere near John Gibbons on Mon
day night or on any other night during
the trial of the llbnl suit.
. Docs not this readiness t bellev-e
false testimony suggest "excessive ac
tlvlty of the fantasy" and "derango
ment or perverted action of one or
more of tho mental faculties"? If It
does, tho question may properly ba
asked, To what limits may this de-
range ho Indulged without forgetting
the requirements of Justice?

The recent public statement credited
to Assistant Postmaster General
Heath that nn army commission wns
offered Aaulnaldo Is denied at the war
department. According to Seciotary
Hoot and Adjutant General Corbln
"the records of the War department
nnd tho State department, so far us
they relate to the conduct of tho war,
fall to show anything Indicating that
n commission In the United States
army had been offered to Aglllnaldo."
Mr. Heath was doubtless misquoted.
Uniform Divorce Laws.
A'
COMMITTEE of citizens
working to-brlng about uni
formity of state legislation
governing divorce has draft
ed a genernl bill which, after prescrib
ing a period of residence In a state
requisite to obtain a title for divorce,
provides that dlvorco shall be granted
for the following causes arising after
marrlnge: Adultery, extreme cruelty,
habitual drunkenness or tho confirmed
habit of intoxication, whether arising
from the use of nlcobollc drinks or
drugs; conviction of felony, with sen
tence of Imprisonment to state prison
or penitentiary and continuous deser
tion for at least years, tho blank
to be filled In ns tho concensus of
opinion shall direct.
The probability of reaching uniform
state legislation on this subject Is re
mote and there sire obstacles to fed
eral regulation of either marriage or
divorce. Hut If uniformity could be
had by the concurrent action of the
various states a better basis of legis
lation could hardly be obtained than
that Just outlined. It will be pro
celved that It does not Include among
the causes Incompatibility of temper,
a phrase which has been much used
to afford easy release from the mar
riage bond. The putting forward of
this phrase usually covers motives
which will not bear too close investi
gation; and Its elimination from the
statutory causes for divorce would In
few Instances work real hardship while
In many instances It would protect
children from unfairness and tend to
Invest with greater solemnity the
original choice of life partnerships.
The contemporary agitation for a
canonical law prohibiting absolutely
re-marrlage after divorce does not en
ter into the consideration of tho civil
aspects of this problem. There can
be no question of the right of each
church denomination to establish such
laws as It deems proper for the regu
lation of Its conduct toward the social
relations of Its membership; and these
laws will bind none save those who
elect to accept them. We are speak
ing here of the civil law, which la
mandatory upon tho religious and the
Irreligious alike.

Schurz and the Philippines.
N THE RANKS of the opponents
I
of our government's Philippine
policy no man stands higher for
intellectual power man wu
Schurz. What policy does he propose?
We will quote from his latest speech
upon the subject.
"Let there be at once an armistice
between our forces and the Filipinos,"
suggests Mr. Schurz. "Let the Philip
pine islanders at the same time be told
that tho American people will be glad
to see them establish an Independent
government, and to aid them in that
task as far as may bo necessary; that,
if the different tribes composing tho
population of tho Philippines are dis
posed (as at least most of them, If not
nil, arc likely to be) to attach them
selves In some way to the government
already existing under the presidency
of Agulnaldo, wo shall cheerfully ac
cept that solution of tho question, and
even, If required, lend our good offices
to bring It about; and that meanwhile
wo shall deem It our duty to protect
them against interference from other
foreign powers."
In reply to this suggestion we will
now quote from what ought to be ac
cepted In Pennsylvania as good Demo
cratic authority, namely, tho Philadel
phia Record, a paper whose founder
was In 1S9I the Domoctatic candldato
for governor of this commonwealth.
"In the statement of Mr. Schurz," says
tho Record, "there is one very Import
ant assumption which Is not supported
by fact3 namely, that the Philippine,
Islanders, or most of them, would will
ingly accept ihe Agulnaldo govern
ment, and by ilolneso put themselves
under the rule of the Tagals, between
whom and many other of the Insular
tribes there exist relations of' various
degrees of enmity. Hut, waiving this
point and proceeding to the main ques
tion, an analysis of the antl-expanslon-lst
programme will show that it differs
in only one respect In the proposal of
an armistice from the policy which
has been steadily pursued by this gov
ernment. The whole American people
are united In holding the opinion that
the Filipinos ought to be allowed to
establish a government ns Independent
and free from external control as the
circumstances will permit. The Islands,
however, having In consequence of the
treaty with Spain become territory of
the United States, the only authority
empowered to make the regulations
necessary to the attainment of the end
In view Is congress. Tho executive
alone can make no engagements with
the Filipinos, and can do no more than
preserve order to tho best of his ability.
The concession of an autonomous or
Independent government to the natives
of the Island, therefore, cannot be made
now; nor could It have been made nt
any time since the adjournment of con
gress Immediately after tho conclusion
of peace with Spain. Before the rati
fication of the peace treaty, on the
other hand, the Islands wcro nominally
under Spanish jurisdiction, and tho
Filipinos were Spanish subjects, whoso
status we had no legal right to regu
late. "Even Mr. Schurr-doea not go to tho
length of proposing that the Hag should
be furled and our military and naval
forces Immediately withdrawn from the
Philippines. On tha contrary, he sug
gests tha't while tho question -of the
future control of the Philippines shall
remain In suspense, and until a native
government us free nnd Independent
aa that which we havrt promised tho
Cubans shall have been firmly estab
lished at Manila, 'we shall deem it our
duty to protect them (tho Filipinos)
ngalnst Interference by other powers.'
Hut the protection of a government
such as tho natives of the Island would
bo likely to establish, and which would
remain In tho experimental stage for
a longer or shorter period of time, Im
plies responsibility on the part of tho
protector. We should bo held respon
sible for oppressive nnd vindictive ncls
of our prot"ges toward the Spaniards
who have remained In the Islands, nnd
for tho security of commerce and of
the lives nnd property of nil foreign
era. If wo should dlselklm responsibil
ity other powers would nssert tho rlcht
to protect their own Interests, and In
ternational complications would ensu".
A benevolent protectorate such as Is
advocated by the anti-expansionists
would, therefore, necessitate the super
vision by us In a greater or less degreo
of tho native government to be set up
In the Philippines nnd the exercise of
some control over Its proceedings, Hut
this is exactly what this government
Is contending for; no more, no less."
Tho Record appends to Its reply the
remark that "the wisdom of absolutely
refusing to treat with tho Agulnaldo
combination may be reasonably qucs
tloned"; but If It will consult Us files
It will learn that there has been no
absolute refusal to treat with It. On
the contrary, several attempts to treat
with It have been, made under the
sanction of President M;K'nley-not-ahly
In the ease of the Schuimnn com
mission and these have failed owlnj
wholly to the obstinacy and Incredul
Ity of the Filipino commissioners. Our
contomporary then proceeds; 'The In
sinuation of the antl-expansionlsts.that
tho conflict In tho Philippines Is an un
justifiable war of aggression on oil
part Is as untrue as It Is unpatriotic;.
From the moment It became evident
that Spain's power in the archipelago
was shattered, thanks to American
seamen and soldiers, Agulnaldo and his
coadjutors ungratefully Insisted that
wo ought to clear out and leave them
the spoils of a victory which they did
not achieve. It was to prevent a car
nival of vengeance and looting that
our troops kept the Filipinos out of
Manila; and It was tho Agulnaldo
Junta, enraged at being cheated of Its
prey, which first appealed to the gun
powder argument."
The Intent of the American govern
ment toward the Philippine Islanders
nas ucen clearly defined. None need
mistake It. They must put up their
shooting Irons and listen to reason be
fore our military operations will be
suspended; and when they have done
that they will Ue given the amplesc
chance, consistent' with International
peace and tho safety in the Philip
pines of life and property, to show
what they are capable of In the way
of self-government. Mr. Schurz asks
no more than this; but ho asks It In
an Impossible manner.

CURRENT VERSE.
My Poor Neighbor.
My neighbor hath a lordly pile
A palace reared of polished stone,
In which he lives In lavish style,
Atone.
I look upon his wealth and smllu
In rare content, whllo on my knee
A weo one rides and crows at me
My own!
My neighbor's Is a regal place;
But, oh! It hath no laughing faco
Of childhood thcro for sympathy.
My neighbor's' garden blooms arc fine;
They rlso In hedges topped with gold,
And all their radiance Is mine,
1 sco their blossom-eheaths unfold;
I breatho tholr fragrance day by day,
And aye, they nod and smllo my way,
Though I bo Door.
My neighbor's lawn Is green and wide,
And here nnd thcro a lofty tree
With spreading arms stands to divide
its storo of graceful slinue wuu me;
And, ol! I'm sum
That when the verdant dayB are gone
New ch&rms will greet mo fiom tho
lawn!
My neighbor hath a host of cares,
For ho must guatd his costly wares
- And golden hoard;
While I, crowned with domestic bliss,
May gnm a, fond parentnl kiss
He cn't afford.
I and my neighbor never meet,
An alley separates our lands;
My homo is In a modest street.
His on the drive see. there ho Mandsl
Poor man; bo's naught but gold and
gear;
While I have.home and you, my coarl

Qluskap's Hound.
They slow a cod In a valley
That faces the wooded west;
They held him down In their anger,
With a mountain across his brenst,
And alt night through, and all night long
His hound will tako no rest.
From the low woods, black as sorrow,
That marshal along tho lake.
A cry breaks out on tho stillness.
As If the dead would wake
Tho cry of the. faithful dog, who runs
No more for the running's sake.
Rut follows tho sides of tho valle
And tho old familiar trail,
With his nose to tho ground, and his eyes
Red lights In tho cedar swale;
All night long, und all night through,
Till the heavy cast grows pale.
Somo say he forehcrnlds tempest
Outrunning the wind In the air.
When the willows are blowing yellow
And tho alders arc wet nnd hare
Ho hunts, with no Joy In tho hunting,
Giving tongue to his mad despair.
Another stick on the campflre,
For the shadows are leaning near,
And something runs In tho thicket
That the spruces bend to hear!
Tho white stars wonder why ho runs,
With his grief of a thousand year.
Theodore Roberts In Youth's Compan
ion. Tho Parson's Limit.
He'd been preaching and exhorting
For a scoro of years or so
In a portion of the Vineyard
Where the harvesting was slow;
Where tho temporal Inducement
For his ceaseless diligence
Was a promise of four hundred
For his yearly recompense.
Unrelenting wns tho ardor
He devoted to the cause, .
And though slowly came tho dollars
Stilt he labored without pause.
Till one day they enmc and told him,
As he kicked ngalnst tho pricks.
That they'd raised their offered stipend
From four hundred up to six.
Then tho good man sank exhausted
As he feebly made reply:
"Don't, I pray you, men and brethren,
Thus my patience ovcrtry;
For to glean tho four you've promised
Hath so warped my vital store
That 'twould kill me If you taxed me
To collect two hundred more."

When love Is done.
