THE CITIZEN* WILLIAM C. NF.GLF.Y - - PuMUhT THURSDAY, MAY 4. '*99- | Republican County Ticket. For Slieritl'. THOMAS R. HOON T . For Prothonotary. ,T. M MCCOLLOUGH. For Register an| can fill such a vacancy, and his appoint * ment is accepted as valid by the Senate a always the final judge of the qualifica ■ cations of its own members; and it holds good until the next session of the State Legislature. But the right of a Governor to make in the absence of the Legislature an original appointment, commencing a new term, or, in other words, to stand in the place of the Leg islature and fill a vacancy when the Legislature has tried and failed to elect, is another and quite a different question. Eminent Senatorial inter preters of the Constitution have differed diametrically upon this question. Hun dreds of pages of the Congressional Record hp ye been occupied with their arguments for and against the consti tutionality of the authority which Gov ernor Stono has assumed to exercise in this case. Considerations of partisan politics and of personal acceptability have influenced the Senate s decision as to the admission of claimants holding certificates similar to that which Gov ernor Stone has bestowed upon Mr. Quay. There are precedents both for admission and for rejection; but it is proper to say that in recent years the precedents have been against the theory on which Governor Stone is now acting. Up to 1825 the Senate was accustomed to seat without question and even with out debate those claimants who had been appointed as Governor Stone has apppointed Mr. Quay. There were ten such cases within four or five years preceding that date. In 1825 Senator Lanman of Connecticut was appointed by the Governor of that State to a second term, during a recess of the Legislature, and before the vacancy occurred. This case brought the gen eral question to the attention of the Senate, and by a small majority that body decided after three days' debate that tho appointment was without authority of law. For fifty-four years after the decision of the Lanman case the precedent thus established was nevsr directly reversed. There were, it is true some instances, as in the case of Senator Sevier of Arkansas, where the Senate partially accepted the contrary view of toe Gov ernor'.! power of appointment; hut the conditions were complicated by other questions. On the other hand, there were during the same period at least eight cases where a State went with only halt-representation in the Senate, because the Legislature had failed to elect and nobody set up the claim that the Governor had constitutional author ity to stand in the Legislature's place. In 1879 the Lanman precedent was squarely reversed by the Senate in the cases of Mr. Blair and Mr. Bell of New Hampshire, who held appointments by the Governor only, Mr. Blair's being for a full term and Mr. Bell's for the unex pired torn of Senator Wadleigh. At that time Senator Conkling of New York remarked in the Senate: "If it should be the established law that whenever a Legislature decided not to elect, the power to fill the vacancy should revert to the Executive of the State, the Senate and all of us must see how exposed the whole process of tilling seats in the Senate would be come, because the Governor and his friends, by cabal, intrigue, manoeuvre, might so arrange that the Legislature would decide not to elect, or would fail to elect, in order that the Governor might gather to himself tho power to fill the vacancy." In 189!!, again, in the case of Lee Mantle, which was tho test case in volving three appointments by Gov ernors, namely, in Montana, Wyoming and Washington, the Senate refused to admit the claimants. And it was only last year that the question was revived, thoroughly discussed, and decided by vote, in the case of Mr. Henry W. Cor bett, who asked to be seated as a mem ber of the Senate by virtue ol' an ap pointment for the lieginning of a full term, made by the Governor of Oregon during a recess of the Legislature. Mr. Corbett's certificate was in due form, and his case was decided against him on general . principles. The Senate refused to admit him, 011 Feb. 28, 1898, by a vote of 50 to 19. It will be seen, therefore, that when Mr. Quay applies for recognition and admission on the strength of Governor Stone's appointment, he will apply to a body which has decided similar cases in both ways in the past, and established precedents both for him and against him. All this amounts to saying that the Senate will be the sole judge of Mr. Quay's qualifications. It will do as it pleases. It has unrestricted power either to tear up theGoveruor'sappoint ment and shut out Mr. Quay, or to take him in and recognize him as the lawful Senator from the Keystone State. As to the position which individual members of the Senate are likely to as sume when the case comes before them, we get some valuable indications from from the vote on Mr. Corbettsrejectiou. The nineteen Senators who held a little more than a year ago that Mr. Corbett's appointment was constitutional and | that he was entitled to his seat were j these; ' 1 Aldrich. Allison, Baker Fairbanks, j Foraker, Frye. Hanna. Hansbrongh, j Hawley. Hoar, Lodge, Mantle, Morrill. Perkins, Sewell, Turner, Wet : more, and Wilson. Most of these gentlemen are yet in the Senate, and the list includes several of the most distinguished Senators on the Republican side. Mr. Quay, there fore, will not lack a strong support in i his own party on the merits of the ques- I tion. The majority of the fifty who i voted to exclude Mr. Corbett were ! Democrats, although several leading : Republicans voted with them, Senator : Burrows, for example, and Senator Gallinger and Senator Hale. Moreover a enrions feature of com plication is introduced by the circum Stance that not only did Mr. Quay s colleague. Senator Penrose, vote against the admission 01 Mr. Corbett, who held only a Governor s appointment, but Senator Quav himself is recorded as paired with Senator Morgan, who an nounced that he should otherwise have voted to admit Mr. Corbett on his Gov ernor's certificate. A further complication, from the point of view of practical politics, is found in the circumstance that not only the Republican Governor Gage of 1 al ifoinia. but also Governor Ebe YV Tnn nell of Delaware, is likely to follow the example Bet bv Governor Stone of Pennsylvania. The Republican Legis lature of Delaware, as everybody I remembers, likewise adjourned without electing a Senator, but in this case the Governor happens to be a Democrat, and he will not be slow to send to the . Senate a Democratic appointee, whose 7 case must be decided s»mnl taneou si 5 r with Mr. Quay's and on the same Diin ? ciples as will" decide Mr Quay's ad f mission or rejection. The Douthett Case. f On Thursday last, said the Pittsburg ' Times David B. Douthett and Dr. Hor ace S. McClvmonds. father and broth ; er-in-law of'Doutliett. issued a foreign attachment agflinst Marshall B. Douth ett whom they described as "a non-resi !. dent of the state of Pennsylvania and . not now a resident of the county of 1 - 1 legheny. The attachment was issued , in Common Pleas court No. 1. and Bro ; ker James S. McKelvy. of Fourth eve i nue. was named as garnishee, Dr. Mc- Clymonds stated that Douthett had con ducted part of his stock dealings through Broker McKelvey and that he . had made money on his stocks anil had considerable on margins there. As ' aoon as the trust company found that it f had cashed fraudent paper it issued an . attachment against the amount in Bro ker McKelvey s hands, and the Fort 1 Pitt National bank dul the same. The . father and brother-in-law were anxious to seize any balance, if 'there was any, to assist in paying the l&sscs that would be incurred in"settling the for . the borough. > Attorney Charles A. Woods issa ed an execution against David B. Douthett and M. B. Douthett on behalf . of the Butler County National bank on , a judgement note for SBOO that M. B. , Douthett had given the bank, with his father as indomer. Dr. McClymonds stated that the father's indorsement was forged and that Cashier J. \ . Ritts had , called uiKin him a few days ago to talk the matter over. Mr. Ritts stated at , that time that young Douthett had paid the interest on the note several times and had it renewed. He had given the , money to the young man because ho was an old acquaintance and business friend of his father. Dr. McClymonds said that young Douthett had gone to New York a few weeks ago and had invested heavily in stocks, and he believed that he had lost money there. He said he understood Douthett had made money in his deal ings in Pittsburg. He said that the Douthett family had been sorely grieyed over the >oung man's marriage. Dr. McClymonds said that M. B. Douthett had called at his homo Saturday even ing, but that he had said nothing of ing away. The first intimation they had of his departure was when some one called on Sunday and said that 'the blinds in the young man's home were drawn, and that something must be wrong. They visited the house and found it empty, and moving vans ap peard on Monday to cart the furniture away, Dr. McClymonds said that lie had no idea to what extent the shortag es had gone, bat that he and his father in-law stood ready to pay ajl *Q the limit of their bond of ss,o. He thought that they might be swamped if they tried to go beyond that. It was stated in Wilkinsburg that night that during the past few weeks Douthett had beecmp famous in well known places in Pittsburg for liis lavish expenditure of money, and that his friends thought that something was wrong. All were confident that Douth ett would be a? several de tectives had been put on the oaao Acquitted. At Canton O, last Friday noon the jury in the case of the Com. vs Mrs Anna George, charged with the murder of George Saxton, came in with a ver dict of not guilty". The jury was out 2:1 hoars and i"> minutes, and during that lime 'j"j bill lots were cast. It was said that the preliminary ballot was taken at 12: W o'clock Thursday afternoon, or half an hour after they had been closeted in the jury room. This ballot showed four favoring a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree and eight jurymen for a verdict of not guilty, or acquittal. Thii second ballot was taken at 2 p. 111, and resulted the same. This was also the result of the third ballot, taken 45 minutes later. The fourth ballot is said to have been two for guilty in the first degree and seven not guilty, one for second degree and two for man slaughter. At 4p. m. the fifth ballot was taken, with eight for not guilty and four for manslaughter. This was the result of all the succeeding ballots up to the fourteenth ballot, at two o'clock Friday morning. Tho fifteenth ballot was taken at 4.55 that morning resulting in nine for not guilty and three for manslaughter. The sixteenth ballot was not taken until 6:15 Friday morning, when the ballot stood eight for not guilty, three for manslaughter and one for assault and battery. At 10 a. 111. the twentieth ballot was taken, showing 11 for not guilty and one lor first degree murder. The same result was obtained in the twenty-first ballot. The twenty-second and last ballot was taken at 10:22, with a unanimous vote for not guilty. The verdict caused a tumultuous dem onstration in the court room, and Mrs. George has received several offers to go on the stage. ' The result is more of a condemnation of the man than vindication of the wom an. Saxton was an unusually entertaining man, and he inherited plenty of money; but he was mercilca in his dealings with women and had often been warn ed by his male friends that he would meet with a violent death. He was nor a hypocrite, he did not preach temper ance and chastity, and as he was not in politics had no occasion to advertise himself as a "man of superior social and moral qualities"; he was simply a persistent, successful, heartless liber tine who sent one woman after another either to her grave or a life of shame, and it was but fitting that he should come to his death at the hands of one of his victims. Beware <>l" Food Samples. Quite recently in New York two deaths occurred "from poisoning by the use of powders sent to the victims by mail. In Leavenworth, Kans., the other day nearly every doctor in town was called to attend the children who had gathered up, eaten, and been made ill by samples of an article left at houses by canvassers for advertising purposes. Alum baking powders have always beeu favorite articles for this sampling business. Yet there is nothing more liable to lead to danger than the prac tice of using the various samples of baking powder left at the door They are presented by irresponsible parties, in appearance are not distinguishable from arsenic, and indeed, in Indiana some time since one package was found, .; after it had caused the death of the | housewife, to have been mixed with ' that poison. It is safer to refuse all samplesof food • or medicine offered at the door. Pure I cream of tartar baking powders sell j upon their merits, and are never peddled j or sampled. < >1 iddletow 11 Notes. i Mrs. It. \V.

About two o'clock last Friday morn ing James Thompson and wife were 1 awakened by a loud and vigorous rap ! ping at a front door Hastily dressing ■ and procuring a light they went to the ' door and asked who was there and what : was wanted. Getting no response to ' their inquiry they waited a short time and then concluded they would go out ! side and make an investigation Before ' doing so however Mrs. Thompson on ' looking out through a window noticed a queer looking object on the porch from which there seemed to come a wailing sound resembling the cry of a cat. Opening the door she was greeted with the sight of a large -well tilled basket. Proceeding at once to divest : the basket of its contents she found ' that it contained a nursing bottle, two boxes of condensed milk, a supply of 1 infants' clothing and a plump girt baby beside. A card attached to the child s , arm stated that it would be seven months old the first day of May. The 1 card contained a request that the little waif be evired for until sometime in the future when provision would be made " for its keeping. It is said that there is no cine to the child's identity, and it ' will remain in Mr. Thompson's family ! for sometime at least. i Robt. S.

He had never fully recovored from an attack of la grippe last winter. No man in this eomi"vmitv was held in higher esteem than was Mr. Campbell and he died as he had lived without an enemy in the world. Of a kind and genial disposition, though quiet and ' reserved, ho was always to be found 1 ready to champion the cause of the 1 right. His demise will bo koenjy felt by his friends and relatives and the loss to the community will be irreparable.

IN this State when managing politi cians get into close quarters they plead the statute of limitations but in York State they plead boils. The release of the Hon. Richard Croker of New York until Aug. 29 on account of boils is one of the positive facts of the Mazet inves tigation. The report of Mr. Croker's appearance before the Chairman of the j committee, bringing the documents in 1 the case with him, deserves a place in I history: "The big Boss pointed plaintively to the back of his neck and said it would bea matterof much physical discomfort j to him if he were subjected to any fur i ther examination." How Can We lia\«* Fruit on the Farm? First, we mast learn the nature of each kinil of frnit trees. Learn under what conditions they succeed best Plant in proper time: take proper care of them when set oat and use proper fertilizers. One great reason why the majority of farmers do not succeed with 1 fruit is because They treat all kinds of I fruit trees alike. They plant, prune. ' fertilize and care for the apple, pear ' peach, quince and cherry the same Now this is all wrong, and after 1 jjivi> a few general rules that apply to all kinds of fruit trees, I propose (if the • editor of the Citizen" will permit) to f take each specie of farm fruit separate ly so that my farmer friends may bet i ter understand how to care for their 1 fruit trees, and now as to general rules ! Every farmer should learn how to I graft and, if possible bad, it is not j i hard to learn to graft properly, and j every farmer should do his own graft-1 ing then he will know what kind of 1 fruit he will have without waiting nn \ til it comes to bearing anil find that he Las had some worthless truck stuck on him at good figures. But this is not all the majority of farmers cannot get > their trees from the nursery in proper - time for planting. This brings us to r the question, when is the proper time to 3 plant? and right here let me say that 1 t am fully aware that man) will disagree ) with me. but long experience has fully i satisfied jny mind that the latter part - of February or first part of March is far } the best time to plant fruit trees, and i as we seldom get more than a few days 1 at a time at that period that the frost i will be out of the ground sufficiently to i allow of planting, we cannot send to a t distance for our trees but mast have 1 them at hand. 1 Eat why not plant in the autumn"' t Because in taking up your tree yon de -1 stroy the most of the small rootlets or ) feeders, and after replanting your tree f has no hold on the soil, the heavy freez ing of winter penetrates the lose soil down to the roots of your tree and so freezes the snbstauee out of them that your tree either dies or is so badly stunted that it never fully recovers, and I have never known stunted trees to amount to imicl?. Why not April or May > For the rea t son that the hot sun will dry out the loose soil before the tree can take hold of the soil. The sap in the tree will evaporate and you have the same result as planting in autumn. But some one r will say mulch your trees with straw or I something else. If you do you deprive • the crown of the tree of a very essential t thing and that is sunlight and air which are necessary to properly devel s ope any plant. The only kind of mulch • that 1 would recommend is one of fine 1 loose soil made by a cultivator or other - such like implement and this not about i the pear. Never turn cattle or horses > among young trees; never braise, bark i or otherwise mangle any tree any more I than you mangle a child, for if you do i the proper usefulness of your tree is at ' an end.
