GOVERNOR STONE
IS SUSTAINED.
Complete Vindication by the
Courts of His Vetoes of Con
stitutional Amendments.
10 HE MIL
An Heroic Executive Upheld Despite a
Campaign cf Personal Abuse Backed by
Tammany Promoters of an Expensive
Voting Machine.
(Spcclul Correspondence.)
Harrisbiirg, Aug. 8. Governor Stone
has lieen sustained by the Dauphin
county court in his vetoes of the pro
posed amendments to the constitution
passed by the last legislature. This
gratifying outcome of a long and bit
ter controversy should be bailed with
expressions of delight by the taxpayers
of l'ennsylvania. The heroic action
of the governor has saved the com
monwealth hundreds of thousands of
dollars. The resolutions providing for
the submission of two amendments
to the constitution were rushed
through both branches of the legisla
ture w ith scarcely and discussion. Pub
lic attention was not attracted to them
to any extent. The people had little
opportunity to fully appreciate their
far reaching effects. Vhon Governor
Stone, in his careful review of the
work of the late turbulent session of
the loplKli-.tnre, calmly considered the
purport and sweeping character of
these resolutions he promptly vetoed
them. One provided for personal reg
istration of voters, and the other was
disguised to allow the Introduction of
voting machines In place of the pres
ent system of balloting. There was
no popular demand for cither of these
innovations. The first resolution ema
nated from a few of the professional
reform agitators in Philadelphia who
are constantly taking up some new
fad so that they may appear In the
newspapers as leaders of advanced
Ideas in state and municipal govern
ment. They are mostly lawyers with
limited practice and merchants who,
by figuring In these movements, obtain
cheap notoriety, which counts as so
much free advertising.
A MACHINE SNAKE.
The proposition for the Introduction
of the voting machines came from a
syndicate of Tammany politicians who
control the patents for the machines,
which they had introduced in New
York. They got the resolution for the
proposed amendment to otir constitu
tion pawed simply as a business ven
ture. They had a professional lobby
ist here during the session of the leg
islature, who engineered the scheme
to put the resolution through. This
Tammany politician was indignant
when he learned of the action of Gov
ernor Stone in blocking his game. He
swore he would win out, despite the
nction of the executive. He at once
Inaugurated a movement to discredit
the governor and to manufacture senti
ment In favor of the proposed amend
ment. The scheme was cleverly work
ed up. The voting machine project
was kept in the background. Soon,
however, the professional reformers of
Philadelphia got to work, with the aid
of the insurgent and Democratic news
papers, which are always ready to as
sail Pennsylvania's stalwart Republi
can governor. They made it appear
that a great wrong had been done;
that the cause of reform had been
made to suffer. They seemed to be
Interested only In the matter of per
sonal registration of voters. But the
real "nigger in the woodpile," the vot
ing machine, which was to he benefit
ted l y any success that might come
through their agitation, was never
menUcned in these newspapers. Sec
retary of the Commonwealth Griest de
clined their request to advertise the
proposed amendments regardless of the
vetoes of the governor.
ELK IN' WAS MAGNANIMOUS.
Next they appealed to Attorney Gen
eral Elkin to allow the use of the name
of the commonwealth in mandamus
proceedings in the Dauphin county
court to compel the secretary of the
commonwealth to advertise as they de
manded. The orcans of the insur
gents, that had been misrepresenting
Governor Stone and his cabinet from
the outset, at once began to predict
that Attorney General Cikin would de
ny this requesl. They were greatly
disappointed, however, when Mr. El
kin, in a lengthy and able opinion, ac
ceded to their wishes, but at the samo
lime, in n careful and masterly re
view of tho case and the precedents,
pointed out that Governor Stone was
entirely Justified in his action, that
resolutions of a similar character had
for years been submitted to both the
Republican and Democratic governors,
and that the right of the executive to
pass upon such measures had been
generally recognised. The profes
sional reform agitators were hardly
prepared for this magnanimous action
upon the part of the chief law officer of
the Stone administration, who frankly
said that he was entirely satisfied that
the name of the commonwealth should
be used in hearing a Judicial determi
nation of the point at issue. The at
torney general evidently had no doubt
of the propriety and regularity of the
governor's action, and did not hesitate
to say no.
SI STA1NED BY THE COURT.
In due time the matter came before
Judge Veis3 in the J)auphin county
county court. The alleged reformers
were represented by counsel and, of
course, there was distinguished and
expensive legal talent on hand to look
after the voting machine interests. If
one veto was not sustained of course
the same decision would cover the
other. Congressman Olmstead, of this
district, and former Attorney General
llensel, of Lancaster, appeared on be
half of Secretary of the Commonwealth
irlcsl. Th'-re was a spirited legal bat
tle. The lawyers seeking the manda
mus on the secretory of the common
wealth, requiring him to advertise the
proposed constitutional amendments,
urgued that these resolutions did not

their only contention. They uc
pletely overshadowed by the character
and the force of the arguments on the
other side.
Messrs. Olmstead and Hensel filed
the following objections to the petition
on the rule for a mandamus:
1. The governor having disproved
the resolutions proposing said amend
ments to the constitution, as set forth
In relator's petition, the same are
without validity and are of no binding
effect.
2. Neither house of the general as
sembly having passed and adopted said
resolutions, the governor's veto not
withstanding, they are invalid and of
no binding effect on respondent.
3. The governor of the common
wealth has a right, according to the
constitution thereof, to pass upon, to
approve or disapprove all Joint resolu
tions adopted by the legislature, ex
cept such as provide for its adjourn
ment. 4. The legislature having appropriat
ed no money to pay the costs of the
publication of said resolutions, the re
spondent having, by careful Inquiry,
ascertained, nor states as his belief
that tho proper publication of said res
olutions In the newspapers of the
state as contemplated by law would
tost not less than $40,000, and as b
is without any funds to pay the same,
or any part of the same, he has no
right to contract such indebtedness
without previous warrant of law, and
no officer of the state Is authorized to
pay said expenses, nor to draw any
warrant for the payment of the same.
5. Even If there were any warrant of
law for incurring the expenses of said
publications, there is at present no
funds nor money In the treasury of the
commonwealth of Pennsylvania, not
otherwise appropriated, out of which
said expenses could be paid."
HALF A MILLION SAVED.
Mr. Olmstead defended the gover
nor's right to veto the amendments.
"If, as to ordinary legislation, the
framers of the constitution deemed It
so important to safeguard It by re
quiring executive approval or disap
proval," he said, "how much more rea
son would there be to guard against
hasty or 111 advised legislation. There
should be no exceptions to theemphatlc
rule thus laid down that every vote re
quiring the concurrence of both houses
shall be presented to the governor for
his approval or disapproval."
"The second constitutional amend
ment, which it Is complained the sec
retary of the commonwealth has not
published," he continued, "proposes
to change this provision so that vot
ing bv ballot will no longer be re
quired, but the voting shall be done
by a complicated system of machinery,
the voter pushing the button and tho
machine doing the rest. As a member
of the congressional committee on
privileges and elections I acquired
some familiarity with this system of
machine voting In the contested case
of Ryan vs. Brewster, from the
Rochesterdistrlct of New York. I learn
ed enough in that contested case, how
ever, as to the expense of these ma
chines to know that it would cost the
taxpayers of Pennsylvania at least
$500,000 'to Instal that system through
out this commonwealth. Furthermore,
the act of congress with relation to the
election of members of congress ex
pressly provides that the voting for
them shall be by written or printed
ballot. No amendment to the consti
tution of Pennsylvania could change
that prevision in the act of congress.
Voting by ballot must, therefore, still
continue in the election of congress
men. If the machine system should
prevail as to other ofTices two systems
of voting would be in force every two
ye. fit the same general election. I
hnid!. think the voters of this com
monwtv'th are ready to entail upon
themselves this duplicate and expen
sive system ' f voting. It is perhaps as
well that t'.i'? voters of this common
wealth are t: ul the expense of pub
lishing the iposed constitutional
amendment r i ling upon them so
cumbersome d expensive a system
of machine v ..g, which amendment
would, whon properly understood, most
assuredly be voted down."
Mr. Konsel supplemented these re
marks v.l ili a forcible address.
.U'l.GE WEISS' DECISION.
Jurl :- Weiss, a'fter reviewing the
arp:it.-.ent8 of both sides, handed down
a cirefiilly prepared opinion, in which
lie refused to grant the requested
mandamuses and fully sustained the
action of Governor Stone in his vetoes
of the two resolutions. He held that
"a proposed amendment to the con
stitution must be presented to the gov
ernor for his approval or disapproval."
He quoted extensively from provisions
of the constitution to sustain this po
sition. "No satisfactory reason has been
presented why thia viev; should not
obtain," remarked Judge Weiss.
"Nothing can be predicated upon the
fact that the mode of procedure to
amend that Instrument Is in a separate
article. Tho method to bi.jg au
amendment into being is by a resolu
tion, to be agreed to by a majority of
tho members elected to each house,
and the same method Is prescribed in
section 26, article 3, to repass an order,
resolution or vote disapproved by the
executive. In both Instances and cases
the vote must be taken by yeas and
nays and entered on the journals of
the respective, houses. This construc
tion tends to preserve the unity and
continuity of theconstitution, and pro
vides, in requiring executive action
upon every resolution, that which Is
certainly a praiseworthy feature an
additional safeguard against hasty and
possibly ill considered legislation and
amendment."
The court also held that the secre
tary of the commonwealth ought not
to be required to contract for advertis
ing of proposed amendments, when no
appropriation was made by the legis
lature for this purpose. Judge Weiss,
in support of this view, enumerated
several cases, both under tho national
and state governments where officials
have been sustained In refusing to
make contracts involving the expendi
ture of money for which no appropria
tion had been made.
Thus was an heroic governor vin
dicated, a few notoriety seeking re
formers suppressed, and a bitter and
revengeful insurgent newspaper syn
dicate repudiated.

Republican Convention Will Honor
This Brave Officer of the
Fighting Tenth."
There Is a Free For All Contest For Su
preme Judge, and Adams, of Philadel
phia, For the Superior Court, has a
Walkover.
(Speclnl Correspondence.)
Philadelphia, Aug. 8. Tho Republi
can state convention, which meets at
Hr.rr!skurg on the 2Uh lust., will hon
or the surviving superior officer of the
"Fighting Tenth" Pennsylvania volun
teers. Lieutenant Colonel James Elder
Barnett, of Washington county, by
nominating him for state treasurer,
unless he absolutely declines to run.
There Is no doubt that were he alive
Colonel Alexander L. Hawkins, who
commanded the regiment, and whose
death occurred on the transport re
turning from the Philippines, would
receive this nomination. The party
leaders, from Colcacl Quay down,
were prepared to support him for this
position. Since the death of Colonel
Hawkins, which Is generally deplored,
a movement has l.ee.i str.rted to urge
Lleutenat Colonel Darnett to allow the
use of his name for t.hls office. Every
body who Is Interested at all In Penn
sylvania politics is commenting upon
the manly way In which Colonel Bar
nett has acted under existing circum
stances. His prompt and emphatic re
fusal to allow his name to be "on.Rid,
ered In connection with the colonelcy
of the "Fighting Tenth" as successor
to the late Colonel Hawkins, prefer
ring, as he says, that the command
shall be mustered out as "Hawkins"
regiment," and his unstinted praise of
the services of his late commander
and his devotion to his memory have
been the subject of general comment.
The political leaders have no Informa
tion as to whether Barnett will con
sent to allow the use of his name in
connect' l with the state treasurer
ship. Hi:: brief public statement on
this subject, in responses to a news
paper query, was that while appreciat
ing tho compliment intended in the
mention of his name, it is a matter
which he could not pass upoa without
due consideration. Barnett is known
to be as level headed as he is brave.
His brilliant work on the firing line
In the Philippines with Filipino bullets
whizzing ll round him whiie he gal
lantly lead his battalion Into the thick
of (he f i t -h l is but pait of the glorious
history of the "Fighting Tenth." That
bullet shattered testament which in the
breast pocket of the brave Barnett
halted an Insurgent shot and saved his
life is one of the interesting relics
brought home from Manila by the boys
from the Keystone state.
BARNETT BY ACCLAMATION.
Unless an unqualified declination
shall be received from Colonel Bar
nett his name will be presented to the
state convention, and his nomination
by acclamation will certainly follow.
With Barnett at tho head of the Re
publican state ticket the coming cam
paign will be an excesdingly Interest
ing one. He Is well known in the Na
tional Guard, with whica he has been
connected for 15 years, having served
successively In the various grades from
private to his present rank. He is a
member of the bar and a stalwart Re
publican. He was deputy secretary of
the commonwealth under General
Reeder, and has a host of friends
among the active Republicans through
out the state.
Another nomination that will be
made by the comlnx state convention
has also been virtually settled. Josiah
R. Adams, of this city, will be named
for the superior court. There Is an un
doubted sentiment in favor of allowing
the choice of the Philadelphia delega
tion to be named for this honor. It is
intimated lhat fevmer Governor Hast
ings would, if he thoueht he had a
chance to win out, lead a movement
for Justice T!.?-bcr'3 renomlnatlon. The
fact that he has invited his former sec
retary of the commonwealth, David
Martin, to be his guest at Bellefonte
may have occasioned the circulation
of a renc-f that Hastings seeks to en
list Mart.fr 'u Influence In behalf of
Beeber. Friends of Counsellor Adams
say they have no fear of anything of
the kind, as they have had assurances
for some time that th delegation will
be a unit l:i favor of his candidacy.
QUAY NOT GROOMING BROWN.
Persistent efforts have been made In
the insurgent newspapers to create the
Impression that Colonel Quay has es
poused the cause of J. Hay Brown, of
Lancaster, for the supreme court nom
ination. This is not true. The mani
fest purpose of the circulation of these
reports is to array the friends of other
candidates against Colonel Quay. 'WIhile
Mr. Brown's candidacy has inherent
strength through his standing among
members of the bar, he has not devel
oped any considerable political follow
ing up to date. There has been an in
timation, however, that friends of
Judge W. D. Porter, of Allegheny, are
beginning to suspect that the Magee
influence ipcretly at work in favor
of Mr. Brown, instead of being exerted
In behalf of their home candidate,
Judge Porter. This may lead to com
plications which may be favorable to
the nomination of former Attorney
General Palmer of Luzerne, Judge Mor
rison of McKean, Judge Archbald of
Lackawanna or some of the other can
didates. Senator Mitchell is still press
ing the rlaims of Judge White of In
diana, and former Judge Henderson of
Crawford, who has been accorded the
privilege of naming the delegates to
the stato convention from his home
county, will be backed by a delegation
from the northwest under the leader
ship of D. Flood.

Ingruiuui AulouiKtle Mechanism by
Which Urn Coiil la Handled.
There are many things about tho man
agement of a largo hotel which tho patron
takes for gmntod without Inquiry or in
vestigation, lie can form no Idea of tho
methods employed from what ho sees In
tho office, tho corridors, the dining rooms
and tho other jwirts of tho building to
which ho has access, nnd thoro nro not
many guests who wish to pry into tho
secrets.
For those who tke an interest In such
matters tho arrangements for receiving
and disposing the coal are not tho least in
teresting. Tho Waldorf-Astoria uses HO
tons of coal every 21 hours during tho
winter months. This coal Is all delivered
on tho Thirty-fourth street side of tho
building, but ono rarely sees a coal cart in
front of tho hotel. It is nil of tho icn and
buckwheat sizes and is dumped from tho
carts into an opening in tho ground In the
middle of tho Astor court roadway. It
falls into a hopper, which holds alxiut 10,
000 pounds, nnd from there it is carried on
an endless chain provided with buckets to
a vast coal bin, which has a capacity of 700
tons. Daylight never reaches tills bin,
which, with its few blinking lights and
great piles of coal, reaching nearly to tho
vaulted roof, rooks liko a corner in a coal
mine and little liko an annex to a palatial
hotel. By an arrangement of levers tho
coal may bo dumped from tho buckets at
various points, so that with tho aid of a
shoveler It may bo evenly distributed in
tho bin.
Tho boiler room Is situated lower down
in the ground, and tho coal reaches tho
flro boxes without Mng handled.. When
tho bttilcr attendant needs coal for his fire,
ho pulls a lever, which o)ens a trap, and
through this half a ton of coal falls Into a
feeder, which looks liko a monster funnel.
When tho feeder has been filled, It Js push
ed forward on an overhead track, and
when it has reached tho proper point a
trap in tho narrow end of tho funnel is
drawn aside, and tho coal drops Into a
trough in front of tho ilro box, whence it
goes into tho lire.
From tho tlmo It leaves tho coal wagon
until it enters tho flro tho coal takes care
of itself, and, with tho exception of tho
straightening out in tho bin, which Is
done by ono man during tho day nnd ono
man at night, and tho distribution over
tho llro surface by tho boiler attendant,
tho HO tons of coal which nro used every
day aro handled by machinery. Now

A Blanketed (adlan'a Lesson to Some
Wnshliinton Women.
Five or six matrons had the entire half
of a Fourteenth street car corralled unto
th.Miisolves and their skirts. There was
pi ;nty of room on their side of the car for
five or six inuro full grown human beings
of either sex, but hud thUmoin boon taken
up by other occupants of scuts tho matrons
wouldn't huso hud enough skirt room
tho simplest calculation in life, of course.
Two men got In, cast humble glances at
tho ample milliner in which nil of tho
vacant spoeo was ornamented with bro
caded and plain skirts and then clutched
straps resignedly. The matrons looked at
tho two men haughtily, as much us to say,
"It Is good for your health to stand up, O
thou cheap, 30 cent man !"
At tho corner of L street throe more
men got on tho cur. Ono of them was n
white man and tho other two wero In
dians one blanketed and In war paint,
tho other in plain storeelothes. Tho white
man In charge of tho two Indians was
humble, liko his kind, nnd only glanced
hopelessly at. tho room taken up by tho
matrons lieforo ho did tho Inevitable thing
namely, clutch a strap and grin. Tho
Indian lii store clothes looked a bit harder
at the largo quantities of room being ah
Borlvd by the stout women and their
skirts, but then be, too, got hold of a
strap only his heavy jaw came down
pretty hard, and he seemed to have to
gulp a bit over it, as was nuturnl enough.
The blanketed and war painted Indian,
however, didn't apparently belong to a
trilw that gulped over thlngsand let thorn
go at that. Ilowus a tail, straight, lino
looking red man, about 30 years old, and
his face was full of character. Ilo was
nltout as nifty a looking buck as had bcou
seen on the Washington st reels f or sumo
time.
Ho examined the mat mil's side of the
car carefully and with an obvious ryo to
measurement. Then ho examined each
ono of tho matrons in turn, i'liey curb
nnd all looked a trillo nervous under hi
austere scrutiny, ll'it they didn't mala
any offer to move up and give nnylsidy a
chance for bis while alley. The hlmkctcd
Indian was waiting lor tluvu to do just
this thing. When ho saw I hero wasn't
any move in them, be picked out a space
between two especially stout and aggres
sive looking holders of two or throe scuts,
and ho pointed with a long, bony llngeJ
at tho space. Then ho Inudo a simple
gesture, with his open bund held horizon
tally. The gesture said us plain as words
''Divide up there; split I I'm going to t.i
down and enjoy myself!"
Tho two stout matrons divided In n
hurry and gathered up their skirts nnd
then all of them followed suit, not with
out an va go glances at the ornately blank
eted red man. When they had moved
"moderately closo togitlier, there was plen
