SCHANTON, DKCEMHKIt 28, 1899.
It Is a matter of reRtot that the great
majority In this country which appre
ciates the timely sympathy of KnglanJ
that w.isj Instrumental in averting
many dlfllcultled during tho Spanish
win-, Is silent, while tho principal talk
ing nt present Is done by tho garrulous
element of tho Hilly Mason stripe,
whose chief ambition sceiui to b' to
make the British lion's tall look llku a
Kentucky corkscrew.
Intolerable Tcdiousncss.
fTr "HI3 OLD outcry against ox
j pert testimony will be re-
1L newcil and greatly Invigor
ated by tho proceedings in
the Mollneux Ul.il. Although this trial
lias now consumed 41 days, at an ex
pense to tho community of seveial
times as many thousand dollars, the
piosecutlon, as pointed out In the picas
dispatches, has not yet proved that a
murder had been committed or that .1
package of poison had been hent
through the mall. Almost the whole
time not occupied in selecting n jury
has been taken up with the Inflnltes
mal nnd largely contradictory hair
splitting of e.pcits on the subject of
handwriting, no two of whom appear
to be able to agree on any salient
point, nnd all of whom know no more
about the defendant's innocence or
guilt than does the cannl-keeper on
the planet Mais.
During this dreary petlod of unprof
itable time-spinning the twelve unfor
tunates in tho Jury bo-c have slowly
succumbed to the tollum and tho bad
air until it is now safe to say, without
desiring to usperso their characters,
that there Isn't a man In the dozen who
is mentally fit to decide the most ele
mentary disputed point In simple arith
metic. Fvery man who has served on
a Jury knows In how short a time,
under the most favorable circum
stances, tho acute perceptions of the
well-trained mind dull themselves on
the awful monotony of the average
court-room, until after a day or two of
service the juror's sluggish impulse is
to consider every suspect guilty on
general piinclples and to divide the
costs between tho Juiy commissioner
and tho judge. The mental state of
men who have had to undeigo 41 days
of this sort of thing, with a detective's
espionage for each juror into the bar
gain, may perhap.) be imagined but it
certainly cannot be dcsciibed.
And yet these men are put to this
long punishment to no practical pur
pose whatsoever. We are ready to
wager that after this Molineux trial
is concluded, every juror will frankly
admit that the testimony of the experts
did not weigh the weight of a hair in
the formation of the finul Judgment as
to the defendant's Innocence or guilt.
In a murder trial It never does. No
sane man on a Jury, is going to vote
to take a human life on the strength
of some paid retainer's hypothetical
evolutions of opinion. AVhen a murder
is committed it must bo proved who
did it and why before there Is any
liability of conviction; and this proof
must be substantial, straightforward
and convincing beyond a reasonable
doubt. Otherwise twelve men will
never agree to vote for capital punish
ment. The district attorney's oillce In
New York county probably knows this
as well as anybody and for that reason
ita circuitous diversion Into tho fields
of immaterial expert testimony is cen
surable on the score of economy and
seemllnesa If not on more serious
grounds.
It is to be hoped that there will bo
no strings attached to th Lavton
fund.
The Compliment of Imitation.
IP IMITATION Is the slncerest
flattery, Governor Roosevelt
must feel well pleased to no
tice that Loid Wolverton, an en
terpilsing British peer, Is organizing
a regiment of Hough Itideis for su
vlce In South Africa. Without know
ing the plans of this British enter
prise It Is safe to say that no regi
ment recruited in England could pos
sibly present the dlveisltles In local
color which characterized the aggrj
gation brought together by Colonel
Roosevelt, and it is also somewhat
doubtful if an English volunteer
regiment could make the history whlca
this ecleclle American regiment made,
both in Its immediate activities upon
thtf battlefield and In the patriotic In
fluences which it contributed or quick
ened. Tho Iloosovelt Hough Hiders will
doubtless figure In history ns the mo.it
unique and typlcnl regiment ever en
listed In the United States. It repre
sented conspicuously and in a manner
that appealed at once to the imagina
tion the spirit of adventure which Is
the sustaining note of American
achievement; nnd it also represented
wltji unparalleled vividness tho essen
tial democracy which Is at the bot
tom of all our superficial social dis
tinctions; tho democracy which is the
saving cement of American institu
tions. Tho generation which, at the
call- of a national emergency, saw
brought to one common level cowboy
undmllllonlaie, plainsman, cowpuncn
er and dude, each proud of tho other's-
heroism and uncomplainingly
ready to accept the fortunes of war,
though they led Into the valley of
death neither that generation nor Its
sons and daughters can bo pursuaded
that; castfvj n America is much mora
thai tt1lnisy.ttrt!rico, jreally of little
account. ' The Hough Wders havo
saved us,1. If we needed saving, from
thodanger of class violence. They
luvo sjtqwn the retU truth of our civ:o
brotherhood and no speclousncss of
demagoglsm or emotlonnl Intoxication
of socialistic dreaming will herenfter
wholly eliminate tho sobering benefi
cence of that timely demonstration.
It Is hardly possible that Lord
Wolverton's collection will be able to
affect so powerfully the public opinion
of Orent Britain, although wo hope
that It may. In spite of Its nrlstocratlo
inheritances modern Kngland is essen
tially democratic, but not to the de
gree which was exhibited at La
Quoslmas. Hood will be accomplished,
however, If Lord Wolvcrton's regiment
shall be permitted by dashing valor
to lift Into n higher repute the Brltlsn
volunteer. Tho older nations of thv?
world, which used to look down upon
tho American soldier for tho reason
that, when not soldiering, ho was ca
pable of earning a living at something
else, have In recent months taken a
new measure of the volunteer. It was
the Hoosevelt performance in the hills
near Santiago which started the for
eign critics upon their career of re
consideration. No American would
begiudgo Lord Wolverton tho chance
to clinch their reversal of Judgment by
some similar feats of bravery in the
mountain passes of Natal.
There is no question that the Ameri
can people nic the most gencious upon
earth. History falls to cite examples
of open-handed chailty that can eiiu Jl
those occurring about us dally. Tho
constant call for money ever meet
with leady responses, whether for a
tribute of ndmlration for heroism; or
to feed tho hungry of our new posses
sions; or to cheer the hc.it ts of thosa
who have been distressed by misfor
tunes at home. An appeal for aid Is
seldom mado In vain. In this respect
America furnishes an example that
few nations can approach, nnd It Is an
Indication that our people aie deserv
ing of the prosperity which they enjoy.
Fair Rcpresentatinlli.
UrxJE CHUMPACKnJD, of In
diana, one of the most Intelli
gent of the younger members
of congress, has Introduced a
bill providing that when tho Twelfth
census Is taken Information shall b-
collected concerning tho registration
nnd election laws of the vaiiuus
states, the qualifications demanded of
voters, tho number of votes cast nt
tho last two general elections and the
number of males of voting ago of
each race. The bill Is to bo favorably
reported In the house after tho holi
day recess, nnd an attempt will bo
rpado to secure Its enactment before
tho census enumeration In the spring.
Tho object of the bill, ns Judge
Crumpaeker explains, is to secute In
formation upon which to base a just
apportionment of the representatives'.
Says he: "The fourteenth amendment
to the federal constitution requires the
apportionment of representatives to
bo based upon population, but In th3
event that any state shall disfran
chise any of its male Inhabitants over
twenty-one years of age, who are
citizens of the United States, except
ing for crime or participation In rebel
lion, the representation of such stati
f.hall be reduced In the proportion that
the disfranchised male Inhabitants
bear to the whole number of male
Inhabitants over twenty-ono years of
age. That provision of the constitu
tion is imperative. It is tho policy of
the federal government to encourage
universal manhood suffrage, and it l'
a notorious fact that In a number of
states a large proportion of the voting
population Is disfranchised.
"In some states not over 12 per
cent, of the male Inhabitants over
twenty-one years of age are allowed
to participate In elections. That re
sult is brought about in part by di
rect provisions of law and In part y
maladministration on the part of elec
tion olllcers. The reconstruction leg
islation that was designed to place
the ballot in the hands of the colored
man In order that he might be able
to make himself felt as a factor in the
affairs of his locality has been prac
tically nullified. White citizens of the
South no longer disguise the fact that
they systematically evade the federal
constitution In ilxlngquallllcatlons that
take the right of suffrage away from
the negro.
"In Mississippi, Louisiana, and South
Carolina, at the Congressional elec
tions In lS'JS, tho vote In each dis
trict averaged about 5,000. The aver
age vote In tho stato of Indiana at
the same election averaged aboe 43,-
000 In each district. Tho Supremo
court of the state of Mississippi, In ..
recent decision, boldly declared that
the leglslatuie of the stato had swept
the field of expedients In Its attempt
to discover tho means to disfranchise
the coloted man without violating the
fifteenth amendment to the foderil
constitution, and it upheld tho legis
lation. In several of the states are
educational laws, fixing so high a
standard that It Is almost impossible
for a colored man to be registered.
In Louisiana they have what Is called
'the grandfather clause.' It provide.
that tho educati innl law shall not ap
ply to any ono who was a voter on
the 1st of January, 1SC7, nor to any
of his lineal descendants. The effect
of this provision Is to limit the opera
tion of the educational law to the
colored race exclusively, because they
could not vote on the date fixed, and
every white man could.
"I have profound sympathy," adds
Mr. Crumpaeker, "with the whites of
tho South who are honestly attempt
ing to protect their institutions against
the ravages of illiteracy and Ignorance.
1 bellovo that fair educational laws,
honestly administered, would have a
most salutary effect. If tho colored
man should bo given to know that In
order to become a voter ho must
prepare himself by a fair degree of
knowledge, and If ho wero assured
that when he did so prepare himself
tho right to vote would be freely ac
corded him, there would be a constant
inducement for him to strive for that
Important privilege, and when ho
achieved It, It would bo u mark of dls
Unction, n would enhance his self
respect nnd make him n better citi
zen, Tho prejudice, against color In
many sections, however, Is so general
and Intense that discrimination li not
made between tho worthy and the un
worthy. The laws, cither by express
provision or in the method of their
administration, discriminate against
all colored men nllke. Tho colored
man understands this, nnd, seeing no
prospects of Improving his condition,
ho Is lapsing Into hopelessness. If
tho representation of those states
should bo reduced, ns It ought to be,
It would operate as a countervailing
force and tend to estnbllsh a proper
political equilibrium. The Importance
of n largo representation in congress
and in tho electoral college Is appre
ciated by the white people of tho
South, and they would be prompted, on
tho one hand, to estnbllsh fair laws
for tho protection of their domestic
Institutions, nnd, on tho other hand,
to honestly administer them, nnd to
accord the colored man the right to
participate In politics ns soon ns he
was fitted for the privilege In order
to Increase their icpresentntlon. Thl3
would put befoio the negro n constant
Inducement to equip himself, nnd It
would be a powerful force toward the
elevation of the moral and Intellectual
tone of the race."
The problem hero outlined Is one
which In some way must sooner or
later be met. Tho best way to meet
It is to meet It falily and with cour
nge. To the preliminary step of se
eming accurate lnfoimatlon upon tho
subject there should be no objection
from any source. Opposition may
arise, and very bitter opposition, to
the reduction of repiesentatlon whlc.i
this lnfoimatlon may icqulrc If the
piovlslons of the fourteenth amend
ment are to bo cart led out in good
faith. Hut the constitution Is su
preme nnd Its fiupremaey cannot be
successfully i misted. If tho white In
habitants wish to disfranchise the
negto by cunning clectotal qualifica
tions, let them pay the penalty In a
reduced voting stiength In congress.
Tho negro who is not good enough
to vote Is not good enough to be
figured In ns a basis of congressional
lcpiesentatlon. Upon that Issue Con
gressman Crumpaeker can take his
stand nnd the opposition cannot pie
vall against him.
Commander Scannell, of the lat"t
Fenian oiganlzation, states that tlv,
failure of the movement In the past
has been due to the presence of too
many generals. In the surplus of In
tractable leaders Fenlanlsm uppeitrs to
have been us unfortunate as tho Dem
ocracy. m
Now that the date of the beginning
of the twentieth century has been es
tablished to the satisfaction of nearly
all concerned, it is time to figure on
improving the new century's oppor
tunities. In order to relieve mental dlsordets,
a Philadelphia girl has Just completed
a fast of forty-live days. This Is bet
ter than eating a quail a day for thirty
days.
Thee alleged Fenian uprisings ap
pear mainly In the yellow press. They
will not cause much loss of sleep.

As a member of tho faculty he ex
tended cor Mai greetings to the alumni
of Northeastern Pennsylvania, and
then of the faculty he s-ald he wanted
them to believe that no more true,
earnest or unselfish set of men laboied
unywhore than In tho undergraduate
schools of the University of Pennsyl
vania. In conclusion ho offered congratula
tions on the fact that Provost Harri
son had shown a full appreciation of
the worth of the school of physics
by providing for a new physical lab
oratory befitting the university.
A bass solo, "The Mighty Deep." by
Albert Fillings, was enthusiastically
applauded after which F. W. Wheaton.
of Wllkcs-Bnrre, was called upon to
speak of Yule. He regretted,
he said, he was not able to
deal with tho subject humor
ously. Vale to him, during his
four years course, was a serious prob
lem. He also believed that It was
somewhat of a serious problem to oth
er colleges.
Ho gave an interestJng history of
Old Yale, Illustrating tho progress that
she has made by saying that a man
had the collego named after him for
giving for Its foundation iess money
that was taken by the Ynle Athletic
association In gate receipts last year.
In this connection he mado the Inter
esting statement that tho "Big Four,"
Pennsylvania, Harvard, Princeton and
Yale had taken In ns gate receipts at
athletic games, tho grand total of
$210,000, and that this proved to be
$9,000 less than was required to pay
the expenses of the athletic teams.
Wesley K. Woodruff, a Wesleyanlte.
said pf "The Smaller Colleges." that
there was a limit. Ho wo)ld not speak,
ho said, of "smallest colleges," thoso
of insulllclent endowment, with low or
no collegiate grade which unfortunate
ly can barter degrees for a small sti
pond. Ho. believed tho country would
be bettered If men would strengthen
tho established colleges rather than
establishing new colleges to perpetuate
their nanSes. Ho believed tho country
has n full supply of colleges for tho
next hundred years.
As n tribute to tho "Smaller Col-
I leges" he mentioned ns some of their
products Beeley, Hopkins, Dowcy nnd
Blnlne.
A rcferenco to Mrs. Harrison, wlfo
of Provost HarrlBon, nnd Dr. Curtln,
ot Philadelphia, as warm partisans of
"Old Pennsylvania," evoked loud ap
plause. A veritable ovation was given Pro
vost Harrison when ho was introduced
to speak for "The University." He
said It wnq most encournglng to those
In charge of the administration of 4 ho
university to see such an enthusiastic
gathering of alumni.
The trustees, he was sure, would wel
come a suggestion from this end of tho
state for some one to represent It to tin
board. He wanted the ntumnl to keep
close to tho university and watch nnd
encourage Its progress. Outside of tho
libraries and other like gifts to tho
school, there have been contributions:
In ensh amounting to $2,S90,00'J within
five years. A gift of X250.000 was re
cently presented for a new physical
laboratory and he was pleased to an
nounce for the first time publicly
n Christmas gift of another $2."0,000 to
be used as tho trustees saw fit.
The sincere desire ot the trustees is,
he said, that the alumni would keep
befoio the people the worth ot the uni
versity. It Is the only unlvctslty in
the stnte of Pennsylvania, nnd ho
trusted that it was and would con
tinue to be a credit to the state.
A general call for a solo from Mr.
Goeckel was responded to with a
spirited rendition of "lied and Blue,"
the assemblage joining In tho "Hoo
rnh" chorus.
President Houston, of the general
nlumnl, ppoko of "State and Private
Benefactions" In a witty wny, with
the aid of a number of laughable stor
ies. Speaking of the Alumni nssoclatlon
he stated that there Is a movement
on foot to establish alumni scholar
ships. Funds sufficient for one have
already been received. Ho urged the
members to join the general society
and help In tho movement. The soci
ety Is nlso engaged In gathering the
names and records of all Penn men
who served In the late war, with n,
view of honoring them by inscribing
their names and deeds on tho new
memorial tower.
LOCAL MEN CHKEH.
A reference to tho work of Hcv. Mr.
Ballcntlno nnd the other local alumni
who ure foremost In furthering Penn
sylvania's glory, provoked heaity ap
plause. AVhen Mr. Houston had concluded,
Alfred Woolcr sang "Of All the Hest
You Are the Best," which was writ
ten for the occasion by How Mr. Bal
lcntlno and Mr. Woolcr.
O brotheis dear.
And did jou hear.
That wonderful quotation,
Which somo gnat folk.
Came out and sroke,
Of our association?
Now listen well,
And I will tell,
For 1 know all about it.
Nor do you go.
And say you no,
And to begin to doubt it.
For ho did write.
In black nnd white,
Nor was It in confusion.
Oh no, no, no,
Yes. wo say so,
For it was S. F. Houston.
"Of all tho rest
You nro tho best"
He wrote not In confusion.
For he did write,
Inpure delight
Our dear old S. F. Houston.
Houston!
Houston!
O Yes, 'twas S. F. Houston.
"Of nil tho rest
You are tho best,"
The song was enthusiastically re
ceived, Walter George Smith was Introduced
to respond to "The New Law Building"
In place of Judge George M. Dallas, a
member of the circuit court, and of
the faculty of the law school, who was
prevented by Illness from attending.
Mr. Smith spoke of the utmost Im
portance of an exact and certain
knowledge In the attorney. The judge,
he said, might be of the most honest
of men, but if he is learned he may
do you Incalculable Injury.
DR. MITCHELL WAS BTUEF.
The last speaker, the noted Dr. 8.
Weir Mitchell, contented himself with
a few references to moral, religious
and physical advantags afforded tho
medical student at Pennsylvania, which
were not found, at least not wholly,
at any other school.
Editor Donaldson, of the Alumni
Register, said a few words in tho In
terest of his paper. His remarks.whlle
of a purely business nature, were so
wittily couched that they proved quite
as entertaining as tho regular ad
dresses. Dr. George L. Wcntz was called
upon to speak for "The Young Boys,"
but he declined.
Adjournment was made after a ban
Jo and mandolin duet by Dr. Hickey
and Mr. Snyder.
WIlkes-Barre was chosen ns the place
for the next meeting.
The dinner souvenir was a neat fold
er with nn artistically engraved cover,
the central figuie of the rlrst page be
ing a representation of (he main uni
versity buildings. In addition to the
menu and toast programme the inter
ior pages contained a number of favor
ite college songs and the new one by
Hcv. Mr. Ballentlne. which Mr. Woolcr
sang, referred to above. The souvenir
was designed by the printing commit
tee of the alumni association Georgs
