Judge Harry AYhit", of Indian:!, in closing his address to the gnmd jury, re cently, kuM : our duty to y.ui miiit rst here, as we have explained tliuctistoinary priK-edu're alxiut imlietuienU Hubtuiued ; hut for many years, in our judicial histo ry, it was customary for the judges, throuu the gra'id jury, to ca'l the atten tion of the public to matters of special interest. Su;-h juJgc-s as James Wilson, to wh we great service to bis eouil'y this commonwealth has never done jus lice. Judge Addison, Judge King, Judgo Allison and others, who long adorned the Utich, frequently followed this pract ice and have left on reeord charges giving most valuable expositions of the princi ples of our government and of the law. The constitutions of some of the states, indeed, require the judges to report annu ally iu writing to the governor such de fects and omissions in the laws as their e x perience may suggest. Fol low i ug such examples, we may here nr ntioii a few niatlersof practhtd use our oliservation conviiu-es us should be enacted into la . Tiiey do not relate to elementary princi ples, but interest the public iu adminis tering the criminal laws: First, I may mention that many pris oners sentenced for contribution to the prosecutrix, also for lines aud costs in other cases living at the expense of the county, making no exertion to pay any thing, to lie discharged at the end of three months under the insolvent laws and go out free. I would suggest an act author izing sentences to simple imprisonment with labor and requiring the eouuty com missioners with the sanction of the court, to put all the prisoners sentenced to the county jail to lalxir about the county buildings, or upon the public streets and roads, and provision made for guarding the prisoners while so at work. Such an ai-t would make many sentenced pris oners raisa the money to pay lines and costs and thus relieve the county from the payment of such n.sts. I think there is a se ntimentality towards convicted and sentenced criminals. The last legislature JunetMth, lstij, passed an act on this sub ject, but di i not, I think, go tar enough. Sound, Juries now have all power in all misdemeanors to dispose of tha costs when the defendant is aivjuitted, but no authority over costs on acquittal when a felony is charged, although it m.r lie a less serious crime than many misdemean ors. This is because of the old common law distinction between felonies and mis demeanors. There is not a good reason why a jury should not have jurisdiction over the costs in a Jet!y larceny, which is a fi lony, the same as it has over tV-m in conspiracies and perjuries, f .r instance, which are misdeainennors. I would re commend sn act allowing juries to dis-j-ose of the costs in case f acquittal in the lower felonies. Tiiird, There are crises where indict ments are quashed or judgments arrested and the prwsis-ution thus f.iiled lierauso of som mere technicality and the -ourt is powerless to impor-e the costs uny where. Thus witnesses and officers lose time and services without costs. I would recommend an act giving jiowcr to the courts where indictments are quashed or judgments arrested to impose the costs somewhere. Fourtij, There are frequent instance where constables mtinot, unaided, make arrests of desperate criminals a id c.,n vey them to jail. When assistants in such cases are employed there is no pro vision fir fees. It is a hardship to re quire the execution of warrants in all cases yet make no allowance to pay prop er assistants in desperate cases. I would recommend an act authorizing specific fees for constable's assistants to be paid on the approval of the court. Fifth, I would also recommend author ity be given the courts to allow compen sation to constables in notifying super visors of the eourt's directions about re pairs to public roads from time to time. The only way, it appears, to ;el ef.icier.t work on tha r a'Js. is fur tha c.iurts, in the rural districts, at least, to hammer away at the supervisors in charges to the e mstables ; and p ver should bo Riven to stimulate the constables to urge the supervisors to do their duty. 1 have prepared bills on all these sul -jei-ts and will submit them for your con sideration. These matters are not any special theories of this court, but. are plain, fair and practical, p articular'y tho suggestions a!im:t ttie treatment of jail convicts, and if made the law will aid public justice and cheapen the expense of keeping prisoners Seven Christmas U union.

When I see the representa tive business men and prominent citizen here tonight who have expressed their ap proval of my candidacy by actiDg as offi cer and vice president of this meeting I realize the grave responsibility I shall owe to the vast business interests of our great manufacturing state in the event of my election to this important otlicet I cannot but be touched by the evidences of friendship and support of the old sol diers of our stat a-i shown by their nu merous and brilliant representation hero tonight. Over thirty year ago the Amer ican soldier comprised the youth and pa triotism and chivalry of our land.

To this great audi ence nt larjre, composed of the active and stalwart Republicans of Philadelphia, I can hardly find words to express ade quately the sentiments I entertain for the magnificent indorsement given me at their hands.

The claims of Philadelphia for recogni tion at this time in the selection of the United Stales senator aro xvcoguized by the people of Pennsylvania. My own can didacy has Ixvn before the people for nearly e jvjtr. I h:ie appealed diTvctly to the people of this city without the suport of pairon.'ifre, with nothing to promise or to give, and I have today the free, voluntary ami vieorous sup;ort of a considerable majority of tha senators and representa tives from this city. Inspired by thu trust and conlidcnce placed in me by them and ly the great constituency they represent, 1 confidently appeal to the people of the suite of Penm-yslvanhi for support. I fully realize the importance of the ot!ice of Uniie.l States scnaUirof Pennsyl vania, and ii I lun elected I shall go to Washington with the determination to serve the jieople faithfully and industri ously, and to lalior zealously fur those great issues now before our country. The lirst duty of the next eomrress will lie to enact such laws us will extend fair and adequate protection to American in dustry and thus restore comfort and hap piness to the homes of the American work in cmen. Pennsylvania particularly, with her wonderful transportation facilities by water and by rail, her cheap fuel, her iron, her many commercial products- aud her natural resources will then again resume the great industrial march which is des tined soon to make our magnificent com monwealth the manufacturing center of tho world. The Merchant Marine. Onr merchant marine should be encour aged by proper legislation. We will then have at our command a host of hardy and courageous sailors, useful in time of peace and war. Our ships must be built at home! We have already shown that we can build ships lietter than those of Kugland or any other country. Here, upon the shores of tho lehiw.re, where every nvs;.ry natural condition exists thereshouH Ivdeveloped and encoura;j?:d those great shipbuilding industries for which we are already famous, and in which we should rival the world. The merchant marine sailing under the American flan "was once found every here and dominated the commerce f the world. It can and should be restored to its former splendid P'itioo. TIu American navy must be increased so that oqr government may un der all circumstances maintain aud en force, if necessary, its pr.i'?r position ia its foreign relations.

Never in our history did tho American people so demonstrate their fitness for free government as at the last election. By Intelligent discussion throughout the K ngtii and breadth of this land the battle was fought, involving a difficult and com located linancial question, the A ineriean p-jople demonstrated unmistakably thoir d.'termination to maintain inviolate na ti'mal honor. It will bo the duty of the lti publican party to preserve zealously the Integrity of public aud private credit upon a bisis of sound money The great Amnrican principles of lib erty and free government for which onr forefathers made heroic sacrifices should Ik zealously upheld by us. The traditions of American patriotism should be pre served. It has been remarked that the fewr great nations of history have had their distinctive trait, and that each has rn.-w.le its particular contribution to the progress of mankind. The Greek had the genius of art, tiie inspiration for tho boau tiful; the K Kuan founded law and gov ernment, the Hebrew contended for the concepton of one God, aud from this na tion were uttered the eternal truths of Christianity which constitute the religion of civilized mankind. America, also, the last product of time, has her glorious mission in the develop ment of a splendid American citizenship, representing tho highest individual intel ligence, cultivation and well being of tha masses of the people that thj world has even seen. Tho American citizen, man or woman, educated in the public schools over which floats the American flag and within which is the open Bible, possessing an opportunity to earn by honest toil a comfortable living, participating intolli (rently in the government of the country, represents a new type of civilization.

The Sur-utiy Dispatch, of Philadelphia, one of the stannchost Republican paiiers in Pennsylvania, conn's ont In a leading editorial in its hist issue hnuiled "Penrose Will Win." It is as follows: "The announcement of Senator JuaT that Senator Boies Penrose will have Io0 Totes in the legislature for United States senator appears to have acted upon the Business Men's lpanie like a red flag upon a bull. Ihey areovorking their cam paign upon a system of blul, in the hopes that it will have its effect upon the mem bers who are on the fence ready to jump on the winning side. Fortunately such characters are few, and Penrose has enough vote to win without them, for he not only has the good will of the mem bers of the senate and house, but he is supported by their constituents, who are urging their representatives to bo true to the Penrose cause. The voters of Penn sylvania well understand that the oL'ect of the Business Men's League is to create a boom for John Wanamaker a sort of bargain counter political trick for when the legislature settles the question the league will go out of existence. The men who are managing this political machine are adopting al! the questionable ! litical scheme to catch popular sup port ever applied in the days of po litical rings in Philadelphia. All kiuds of arguments and iullueuce are used to secure signatures of business men throughout tho state, many of them be ing completely in the dark as to tho pur pose which their signitures are to eorve. These names will appear as indorers of John Wanamaker's candidacy just pre vious to the meeting of the legislature. with object of influencing the votes of the memliers. In every county in tho state circulars are spread broadcast giving the people the impression that the peoplo of Philadelphia aro overwhelmingly for Wanamaker. Vet, notwithstanding, meet ings in favor of Senator Peurosn have filled tho Academy of Music and other Largo halls of the city, the friends of Wana maker havo not held a single meeting that has lieen open to tho people fearing to do so, for thev know that they will sutler ia conqiarison. No man in tho state has the same means to secure the drift of public, sentiment as Senator tju ay. and he nevt-r has given out figures upon uar tin hi!.: tiiTair that has not been con servative.

Four members of tho legislature from this city came out last night in interviews favoring Boies Penrose for the United Stale? senate. Charles Deputy, one of the members from the First wanS, saidt "I represent the First district of this city, together with my colleague, Mr. Yarn. It has tho largest extent of territory of any of tho legislative distriets in thecity. I ran on the anti-combine ticket for the nomi nation, and plainly and distinctly stated that I favored the election of Boies Pen rose to the United States senate, and, in Consequence thereof. I received by far the largest majority ever given ti any moin licr of Ihe legislature who was ever elected from that district. My constituents ear nestly wish ine to vote for Penrose for this place, and I intend to vote for him just as long as he is a candidate, and in doing so I have the hearty approval of the great majority of tho people." Kbeiiczcr Adams, of the Twenty-fourth representative district, said; "It gives me pleasure to supjxirt Senator Penrose as a candidate for United States senator, f jr I believe that it is the will of two-thirds of my constituents. Sonafcor Penroso has al ways, since he has bL-en a member of the legislature, contributed his efforts to sus tain the institutions in West Philadelphia. I also know that ho is right on tho tarifT issue, which is of such vital importance to the American manufacturers aud the American laborer." Ijcwis Bier, of the Seventeenth ward, said: "1 propose to vote for and support the candidacy of Boies Penrose for United States senator. We have been warm per sonal friends for years. In tho late may oralty fight I was the only delegate who supported Senator Penrose in the conven tion for mayor from tha Seventeenth ward, although the delegates from this ward were pledged to his sup;mrt. I would further state that from my personal knowledge I believe ho will make a broad nd liberal minded legislator in our na tional congress." James McConnell, of the Sixth district, said: roso is we'd fitted for the place In all particulars, and will well represent tbe city aud state. Ho will well represent the large and important business interests of this state, as he is well acquainted with the needs of tho commonwealth. Wana maker has a number of friends in the dis trict, but nothing like the number Pen rose has, who is the idol of the people in this part of this city. I speak from obser vation and actual knowledge, as I have made investigations on this important question before deciding it, and know that I am complying with tho wishes of the majority of my constituents in pledg ing myself to Vote for Senator Penrose for United States senator."

In the case of Cora Schicrstein, viho ailed for a divorce from her husband, Arthur, one of the points was how far a man ought to pro tect his wife fi'oni the "nagging" o." hia mother and sisters. 'i hey married in Jun IXl'k and imme diately went lo live with hu family on Page avenue. One of her grievances was that his toother and sisters kept "picking en her," aud talked alwi'it her in Um -man, so that she could not understand them. Uin tho hearing Judge Wimk,' dismissed ('era's bill ami she appealed. The Court of Appeals says that it was the d.ity of the dcfi ndaut to protect hii wife against indignities oirered by his relatives, but he could not lie held re sponsible for their conduct unit's it was shown thai he was advisvl .f it and theu refused or failed to remonstrate with them. At thesaiuetimethe recordation no error of the trial judge justifying ti e reversal of his judgment. A Laudable Eeoisiox All credit is due Judge Pryor of New York, for Lis recent just and patriotic de cision in refusing to grunt a charter to enable Hungarians of Harlem to join a society fir the establishment ami perpet uation of their home customs, speeches ami ways. The Judge held that the com ing lo this country was in itself evidence that the old country had ceased to l o home for tho petitioners, hem e if this weretolio their home, it was essential that they should study the ways and learn the customs of the American peo ple. Only by mingling with them cotiV they ever hope to learn our tongue, thus qualifying them to Ih-coiuo citizens and entitling them to the privileges of our laws. That's it in a nutshell, but the jurists who hold similar views on such matters are the exception, not the rule. May their number increase. se "ft y-s i, n WJV-" ".(..iv ,-rj t-'-.l t;.i) U.:i.Oi.u r ' ' "Xeitr'y fori? y.-.:T3 ;"..t t.'if? fv.v.c v.iii-.j ii ;!..;.:;::. iuy L.i'.r t ir:;: :! ;:: :;y. 1 1. c-si tt.;!:jT Ayer3 IJ.tir Vipjr, r.tt'.l v.T.a o v.-eli stttis-K.'-.l v.itli :!;- re: ::! ; V.-.v.l I ht:vt never '. y- ttt-y other hit.w of Cn ?ts J" ."."v I4, n-q'iinrsotily ff' o-e:u.io:ial a'lpli- t"" ' '- r.
