Another Constitutional Stumbling Block.
Tho Demooratlo "trust-buster's" al
legation tbat the Republican party has
not sent a single trust magnate to Jll,
or enforced a (23,000,000 Hoe against a
trust, Is now relntoroed by tho oharge
that the party has not prevented the
anthraolte roads from carrying t'lelr
own ooal to market, in competition willi
other shippers. The failure on the lat
ter point Is a fresh Illustration ot the
faot that there are oertalo aspeote ot the
trust and monopoly question wuloti
our experience has not yet taught us to
deal with sucoess folly.
The Hepburn bill for the regulation of
railroad rates in Interstate commerce,
passed, lu 1900, contains the following
provision :
"From ami after May 1. 1003. it shall
be unlawful for any railroad company to
transport from any State, Territory or
the Ulstrlot of Columbia, or to any
forelgu oouulry, any arttoie or com
modity, other than timber or the manu
faottirfd urodnots thereof, mauufaoiur
ed, mlued, or produoed by It or under Its
atmmruy or wuien it may own in wuoie
or in part, or In whloh It may have an
interest, illreot or luuireat, exoepi eucu
articles or commodities as may be neces
sary or Inteuded for Its use In the con-
duot of its buslnets as a common car
rier."
This provision was designed to pre
vent the coal carrying roads, which
mine coal, from discriminating against
tuelr mining competitors whose ooal was
hipped over their roads, and to seoure
this1 result It prohibited the former from
oairylng their own coal, while requiring
than to carry for tuetr competitors.
we priuoipal roads in this Btate,
affeited by this prohibition, are the
Mew Jersey CentraJ, Lehigh Valley, Del
aware, Laokawanna and Western, Del
aware and Hudson, Krie, Philadelphia
anil Heading, and Pennsylvania, The
'oompanlesownlug these roads,and others
whoso stook Is held by them, own ninety
percent, of the anthraolte coal remain
lug unmlued, and ship about four-fifths
of their uroduot over their own roads.
ijnder the foregoing provision of the
Hepburn act, known as the "commodity
olauee," the government last spring be
gan a proceeding In the U. S. Ciroull
Court at Philadelphia, to restrain the
oompaules mentioned from transporting
ooal mlued or owned by themselves.
Last Thursday, a decision was reudered
by'twoot the three Judges by whom the
oase wan heard Gray and Dallas de
claring the elaiife unconstitutional,
while the third Judge Ilulungton dls
seated, but without Qllng an opinion.
The chief ground of the deolsluu
against tun constitutionality of th
clause In question Is that, without due
prooess ot law, ltdeprives the companies
ot an Importaut property right, whloh
was lawfully enjoyed aud exerolsed by
them prior to the enaotuieut of the
statute, under the laws of the States In
whloh they operated ; that It Is unrea
sonable in effect ; and is an Invasion ot
the rights of the State "by striking down
the liberty hitherto Innocently enjoyed
by Its oltlxous to engago In interstate
oommerce to the fullest extent, us to all
harmless artloles, whether owned or not
owned by the oarrler."
A LAW that went Into etleot Sept. 1st
compels Now York olty employees to pay
their debts. Under Its provisions the
City Controller is compelled to pay Judg

grooer'd bill to the saloon keeper's reck

the Controller has been reoelvlng execu
tions agalust the employees ot the olty at
the rate of fifty a day, uud he must pay
10 per oeut. of these eaoh mouth, deduct
ing tho amount from the salaries. Most
ot the debtors are polloeiueu and firemen
and luAuy of the creditors are saloon
keepers. IN Jilgh lluaure, the operators of our
free republic have very oapable rivals lu
officials ot the effete monarchies of Eu
rope. M. Albertl, Daulsti Minister of
Justice from 1901 until his resignation ou
the 231 ot lust July, Is found to have been
experimenting with Aiuerloau gold mini,
stooks, sluuo with the result of drop
plug Ills own fortune, besides several
million dollars belougmg to the "llundes
taudelil Sparkustf," u Uuauolal Institu
tion ot whlrhe was Presldeut. The
Danish Vf jits' Mutter Association
loses about ( 1,500.000, and thousand ol
mall dinners suffer the loss of Individ
ual deposits that praotlcally ruin them.
Albertl last week surrendered to the po
lloe, aud ooufessed a long series of frauds.
TllK statistics presented at the recent
National Kuoampiueut of the (I. A. It.,
at Toledo, show that during the jeur
1907 the number of deaths atuoug mem
bers of tho order was 10,24.', aud ttiut the
number in good standing at the close of
the yeu,r whs 227,157. Henry M.

The Depoilt Guaranty Que it Ion Again.
When Col. Bryan, In hia Topeka peeoh,
aid that between Deoeiuber, 1907, and
My, 1908, the banks ot Oklahoma, under
the deposit guaranty system, had gained
about four and u half millions In de
posits, while the national banks whloh
were outside of tbat system had lost more
tlian a million, he omitted some Import
ant details wlilsh have sltioe been pub
lished. In the aet ot Congress providing
for the organliatlon of the two Terri
tories as a State was an appropriation of
5,0W,O0O us a toboul fund, and In No
vember, 1907, this was paid Into the Htato
Treasury, and deposited In the natloual
banks. On February 4, 19J9, the deposit
guaranty law went Into ellect, and as
fast thereafter as praotloable the State
deposits were withdrawn from the na
tional banks that deollueil to accept the
guaranty law, and transferred to tho
banks subleot to this law, the amount
Involved being about 45,500.000. It is
also tald that a similar course was pur
sued, to a large extent, with the deposits
of oounty and municipal funds. And
thus Is the milk In this ooeoanut account
ed for. It will further appear that slooe
the natloual banks, with nuoli a large
withdrawal of deposits, have sustained a
net loss of only $1,101,807 80, the discrimi
nation against them by depositors can
not be serious. Three-quarters of a oeu.
tury ago, In the State of Mew York, the
guaranty of bank deposits, as a remedy
for panics, proved a failure. Now tbat,
under somewhat different oondltlons, the
same remedy Is being "tried on the dog,"
In Oklahoma, It will be well to wait until
Its effeot Is clearly shown before It Is ad
ministered to the whole country.
Tuk combination of raoe track gamb
lers and grafters In general In the State
ot New York, whloh has made every ef
fort to defeat the renomlnallon of
Governor Hughes, received a knook-out
blow at the State Convention on Tues
day ; the Governor being renominated
on the first ballot, by a vote of 827 to
131 for Speaker Wadsworth and ill fur
ex-Rspresentatlve Stewart. The State
machine," whloh led the opposition to
Hughes, tried to Indue various promin
ent itepublloans luoludlug Kl-Seorotary
Root and Joseph II. Choate, to staud
for the nomination lu opposition to the
Governor, but without buoocss.
TllK New York Dally Times pub
llshee a dispatch from Galveston, con
talnlng the startling auuouuoemnnt that
150,000 negro Republicans In Texas have
repudiated the Uepublloan tloket and
will support ilryau. As the whole Texas
vote for President in 190-1 was but OU,
008, of whloh only 51,342, ot all oomplex
ions, were couuted for Roosevelt, It will
be seen that a transfer of 150,000 from
the Uepublloan to the Demooratlo Bide
may change the result, uuloss the re
turns are carefully pruned by tho return
ing boards.

but naturally they aro of a childish
nature, and can only be fairly utllizad

many years Honesdalo was u boomiug

rather typical of tho style ot the mush
room cities of the fur Won at a later
period, it is not to be wondered at tin.
It soon became tho Mecca ot at toast its
share of tbo morally and mentally dis
torted.
So it falls out that early Honesdalo,
or at loaet the writor's association with
Honosdale's oirlicr history, brings up
to his mind's eye character after char
acter whose ways, to say tho least w-.r.)
peculiar. Among theeo were Dan More,
Qcorge McQeo, Jane Green, Tho 'TiUh
too Ponies," Ben Kiacb, Crazy Sil,
Jonathan Hicks, and porhaps a dozen
mora needless to name, unless tho fu
ture drift ot this ssries should loud them
into groater prominence than ut present
seems probable.
Ben Finch and Crazy Sil were e nil
tho king and quojn of tboso celebrities,
with roigos far outlasting tho others in
tale of yearn and with idiosyncracles
attracting much groitor public nttcn
tion.
Don Finrh was a tall, straight, llncly
proportionel man, bearing upon lui
shoulders a head of remarkable hIzi;
but, as the writor rocollocts him, with
a long and loose jointod strld) while on
tho etroots, and a babit ot throwing one
leg ovor tho other halt-way abov) tin
knee when seated in a houso. Ho was
a good mechanic, and during tho carl
portion ot his lifo worked at the carpen
ter's trade, nnd his diligence and thrift
in this calling was, as will appear, in
considerable moasuro tha cause of his
mental undoing. Evon after bis reason
became eoriously impaired, he remain
ed capable, and did good manual sei
vice, whon, on very rare occasions, he
could bo induced to work. Ho could
givo a connoctod and corroct acount
of a sormoo, and was ablo to exhort
effectively and offer a fervent pruyur m

was in ruins ho rotaind bis natural
shrewdness in a rcmarkablo degrco aud
could reason and converse well except
in reteronco to certain matters concern
log which bo was subject to nil munuer
ot curious fancios.
His paramount idoa was that ho was
a distinguish".! personage. Ho was Im

Beujimiu,' bestowed upon him by the
boys, with whom he was always on thu
best of terms, and whose protonded def
erence and homage ho acccptod as ten
dered in ell sincority as due his rank
and social position. The red, white and
bluo ribbons with which they were ac
customed to bodock him, the feathers
stuck ia his hat, and tho gay scraps of

made him vastly proud, and were won.
