JOHN* L. JONES. EVI) OF THE LEG I SLAT I'BK. Both branches of the Legislature were in almost continuous session from 1 1 a. m. of Wednesday up to the time of adjournment, and disposed of the bills on the calendar. The report of the Conference Committee on the Appropri ation bill was adopted, the presenta tions were made and the House al - The Senate cleared its calendar, elected Snyder of Clearfield, President pro tem, adopted the conference report, notified the House and Governor and then adjourned. About 800 bills were sent to the Gov ernor. It was stated that there would be no extra session of the Legislature The bill giving our hospital ♦2,500 pas ed both houses and went to the Gover nor An Address. The anti Quay members of the Legis lature held a meeting that night and unanimously decided to issue the follow ing address to the Republicans of Penn sylvania : "The anti-Quay members of the Sen ate and House of Representatives of the State of Pennsylvania, being about to separate after the closing of the memor able session of 18», make the following statement: ',The evils of Quay and Quay ism against which we have been contending and shall continue to contend, have sue ceeded in forcing an adjournment of the Legislature withont the pas«age ot any of the- laws for which there is such crying need, and withont the electing of a United State* Senator. "At the election of the people at the polls clearly indicated their opposi tion to ex-Senator Quay by the selection of a majority of the members of the legislature opposed to his return -to the Senate The minority supporting Mr Quay has been large enough, however, to prevent the election of a United States Senator, and has refused every proposi tion to elect some other man than ex Senator Quay, their doctrine being that of 'rule or ruin —the election of Quay or nobody. We have, from the first, stood ready and willing to elect any honest Republican of Pennsylvania to the United States Senate, and to bring about that end haye cast onr votes at various times for such sterling Republicans and distinguished citizens as John Dalzell, Judge John Stewart, Col. E. A. Irvin, Charles W Stone, Charles Tubbs, Col. George F. Huff, Charles Emory Smith. Alvin Markle, Calvin Wells, Judge Charles E. Rice, Benjamin F. Jones and others. We have offered to place in nomina tion any distinguished Republican in Pennsylvania, at all times standing ready to vote for any of the great army of reputable men who wonld honor the State as its representative in the United States Senate, but the men opposed to ns have insisted that no election should be had nnless we accepted a man who war under indictment, charged with the crime of unlawfully using the people s money Every reason existing at the beginning of the session for opposing Mr. Quay existed at the time of taking the last ballot, with overwhelming ad ditional reasons, and the evidence given to the public in the trial of the case against him in Philadelphia has com pletely vindicated our opposition, if vin dication were needed It has been shown by the books of the Peoples bank, of Philadelphia, that he has been in conspiracy with the treasur ers of the State to use for his personal benefit the moneys of the Common wealth. It has been shown that during the past 12 years he has had the use of over $1,5*00,000 out of the Peoples bank of Philidelphia, alone, for which he has net paid to the State one dollar of in terest. "We call special attention to the as tonishing fact that this corrupt use of Stale funds was Wing carried on at a time when the pnblic schools, the bos pitals the asylums for the insane,homes for the aged, institutions for the deaf, dumb and blind and many other chari table institutions of the State were suf ferintc for the want of the money which had been appropriated to them by the Legislature. "But the whole truth within the cov ers of the books of the defunct Peoples bank will never be known by the public as the defendant, Mr. Quay, has plead ed the statue of limitations, which con fined the Commonwealth to the period of during which Haywood, another of the defendants, occupied the office of State Treasurer. We have full conli dence that the jieople of this state will not allow any man to represent them in the United States Senate who pleads the statue of limitations to protect him from a criminal prosecution. "The failure to elect a United States Senator is only one of the many evils brought upon the State by the machina tions of the Quay members of the Leg islatureof 18WI. The House of Represents tlves, for the first time in 20 years was an anti-Quay body, and the Senate was as certainly controlled by the friends of Mr. Quay. Every good measure which was brought before the House was promptly passed, and every bad measure was promptly defeated. We assert, without fear of Buceessful contradiction that the record of the Senate's work in this respect I* the exact reverse to that of the House Nearly every good meas ure sent to the senate from the House was promptly defeated, arid the bud measures with which we have had to contend in the Legislature have getter ally originated in the Quay faction "t the Senate The House attempted to raise the necessary revenue to wipe out the dt licit in the State Treasury, to con'lnct the State government and care for its charitable institutions, by taxing beer and Increasing the taxation on corpor ations, but l*»th these measures were promptly throttled by the Quay control led Senate The House promptly p;:.- • the bill submitted by the tax conference which proposed to impost; the burden of taxation impartially on all classes of property, but this bill met the same fate at the hands of the Quayitcs in the Senate "The thoughtful men of all parties anil factions admit that reforms are greatly needed in the present ballot laws of the State, and such reform?- were projswed and passed by the House the resnlt in the Senate being the same as with the other reform bill* referred to it "The testimony developed by the committee of the House appointed to Investigate the charges of bribery with reference tb the election of a t nited States Senator and the so called McCar rel bill was linmt startling in it.« char acter The re|s»rt of the committee which was adopted by the House, rec ommends the prosecution for the crime of bribery and attempted bribery of no less than nine i»ersons, including one member of the House of Representa tives, all of whom were operating in the interest of Mr Quay, and in addition to these there were a great number of caws in which, although the testimony was not sufficient to recommend crim inal prosecutions, yet, taking all <>t t'.e testimony adduced, an unprejudiced mind must be convinced that the halls or legislation, from the Isginiiiug of the session until the end, were swaim in? with lobbyists of the moet unstTTtipu lons and desperate character, ami that the- whole official atmosphere of Harris burg was laden with th»- ?teiich of cor rnption. This testimony show- that sums as high as sl,o**o were offered for a -iu«le vote upon the notorions McCar rel bill, and t'.-at as gTe.it a sum as was offered to secure a single vote f' rMr for United Stater- Senator We congratulate the people of the State and especially those of our fel low citizen* who are co-operating with ns. on winning the first great battle of the campaign against the political syndi<-ate known as the Quay machine in the interest of common decency and public moral* And we take pleasure in making this pnblic acknowledgement of the ine-timable value to the cause, to which we are all devoted, of the aid and sn; ; rt given to ns by the public press of the State. The political revolution which is in progrcs- in Pennsylvania is so far ad vance.; as to make the ultimate triumph of onr canse now certain. We defeated Quay the man we now propose to carry on the contest until we have de- that monstrous system of misrule and corruption for which his name stands as the exponent And with re newed and heightened courage and confidence, we invite every one of onr fellow citizens who loves his State better than hi - party, and who loves his party better than any individual or set of individuals in that party, to co o;s-rate with us in onr efforts to inaugu rate an era of common honestv and d- i ncy in the administration of public affairs. OUB troops are now fiirhting the Fili pinos in the vicinity of Calumpit, some miles north of Manila. Acquitted and Appointed At the opening of the court on Thnr dav, Attorney Watson for Quay moved th2t the court withdraw the case from the jury and direct a verdict of not guilty he tilso moved to strike out the "red-book from the evidence: Dist. Attorney lio therm el answered him the court refused to take the case from the jury. Attorney Shields then said the defense would offer no testimony; District Att y. Rothermel addressed the jury first and was followed by Shields. Judge Biddle did not go into the evi dence. He said the case had been ably conducted and he would leave the de cision to their judgement. At first his charge appeared to be a shade against Senator Quay, but as he proceeded it was apparent that the impression the jury must get from his words was one of impartiality. He said: "By the law of Pennsylvania three things'are forbidden depositing State fnnds to the profit of the State urer, loans, of State fund* with or with ont testimony, and the conversion of State fnnds to a third party. Nobody conspires op nly except on the stage. Judge Biddle then read an opinion on criminal conspiracy which held that in order to discover conspiracy justice is obliged to follow all the devious ways of the conspirators. The opinion agreed with his own, frequently ex pressed during the trial, that individual and apparently isolated acts were evi dence to prove conspiracy. Judge Biddle then read to the jury two points of law submitted by the de fense which he affirmed. A number of other i>oints were not affirmed. The jury left the conrt room, with the case of the Commonwealth versus Quay entirely in their hands at exactly o'clock. Court then adjourned, but it was agreed that if the jury found a ver dict l>efore 10 o'clock that night the judg?* and counsel v/ould »e sent for and the decision announced. The jury was out all night, 20 hours in all and came in next morning at 11 o'clock, arid returned a verdict of "not guilty, and within an hour after, Goy Stone appointed Quay to fill the vacancy in the U. S Senate. His note to Vice President Hobart reads as follows: Sir Bv virtui of the power vested in me as executive of the State of Perm sylvani.i. under Article I , Clause Section of the Constitution of th-- United State- I hereby make temix>rary appointment of Hon. Matthew Stanley Quay t'< be United States Senator from Pennsylvania until the next meeting of the legislature of Pennsylvania, to fill the vacancy exist;n«in thi- State.'' The constitutional authority which the Governor quotes as giving him the right to apjioint 1# found in Section Article 1., of the Constitution of the United States, which reads as follows. "And if vacancies happen by resigna tion, or otherwise, during a rece-s of the Legislature of any State the Excrtv tiye thereof may make appointment until thc > next meeting of the Jjegisla ture wliicl* shall then fill such vacan cies." This interpretation of the Constitn tion by the Governor is disputed by those who say that the vacancy did not occur during a recess, but while th< Legislature was in session, and that consequently tie Governor s only duty was to call the Legislature into extra session for the purpose of filling the vacancy. ili\> ii. The closing of our public schools after a term of seven months has brought joy to the hearts of a multitude t.f urchins. Greece < ify Byer's Corners and Trout man schools closed with entertainments that were largely attended and highly appreciated. • has. Balsigi.r has sold his oil inter ( stn to Claude Murtland who will take possession of the e nsed by Senator Quay: the documentary evidence was produced; and the public view was that unless those charges were refuted and the documentary evidence shown to the bogus the Senator would stand convict ed l>efore the p. opleof using State funds for bis private purposes. We under stand the declaration to IK- made on his part that this was the way in which the charges would be met. The actual line of defense presents a striking contrast to that expected ref- : utation. One of the principal bulwarks of the defense was in excluding a con siderable number of transactions under the statute of limitations. This is an undoubted legal right, but does it strengthen a pnblic man s case before the people, that be is able to shut out the proof of what he has done in past years? Another theory 'if the defense was that the money of the State, de posited in bank, became bank funds, which is a legal refinement not calcu lated to obfuscate the public perception thai the State money was turned into j bank funds, in order that fnnds for the operations of the Quay family could be furnished. The fact remains that the 1 vital parts of the charges of Last fall were proved in court The deposit of State fnnds is undisputed; the 1 irge loans to Senator Quay without interest are not contradicted; the deposit of nn extra SIOO,OOO of State money in order that a loan for R. R. Quay might be carried was proved beyond question. About the only impoitant allegation that was seriously met by the defense was the one relating to the payment of interest by the bank to leading poli ticians; and that was only met by dog- 1 matic contradiction of the authenticity of the entries in the ' red book." The question for the people to answer in regard to this case is whether the facts that are demonstrated, that are even uncontradicted, show an honest, carefnl administration of the State Treasury for the benefit of the people No honest and intelligent man will be able to find more than one answer to thai question. -Dispatch Ot;n exporta last year were valued at over a billion and onr import at half that.

George was nodding to the witnesses, voniig George told of Saston's love making to his mother and of his mother sitting on Saxton s lap. On Friday Mr. George testified that his married' life was a happy one until Saxton came into his home, and the de fense attempted to prove an alibi. <>n Saturday the defense rested, on Monday and Tuesday the arguments were made. In their arguments Tuesday both Mr. Sterling and Mr Welty hail much to say of the sacredness of family ties and of the sanctity of the home. Both re ferred in denunciatory terms to Saxton and the life they claim he led. Mr Sterling said, among other things, that he believed the death of Saxton was a public benefaction to the city of Can ton He also scored Attorney Grant for his of the day before and for his professional connection with the affairs-of Saxton and the Georges from beginning to end.
