"POLITICAL.
The Harris-Meek libel suit was taken
up at Clearfield, last Thursday, and
Harris won first blood by Judge Gor
don's refusal to admit evidence refer
ing to the general corruption in the
late legislature. The case proceeded
over Friday, and ended Saturday morn
ing, with a verdict of "not guilty, but
pay the coets," or in other words that
Meek told the truth, but couldn't prove
it, whereupon the bnnch of state politi
cians present left for their homes. Meek
was tried in Harris* county.
At the meeting of the Republican
Committee of Crewford county, last
Thursday, Dr. T. L. Flood of that coun
ty was unanimously endorsed for the
Republican nomination for Lieutenant
Governor; and a committee was ap
pointed to confer with a committee of
Erie county as to the date of the Repub
lican Primary. The two counties form
a Congresaionol district and nominate
by the popular yote of both counties on
the same day.
Hon. Isaac B. Brown of Erie, now
Deputy Secretary of Internal Affairs, is
also a candidate for Lieutenant Govern
or, and as Crawford county has the
Congressman at present it is supposed
that Flood will give way to Brown.
The Republicans of Butler county
will elect three delegates to the State
Convention of June 11. One for each
2,000, and fraction over one-half, at last
Presidential election.
All the pressure hitherto put upon
Senator Quay to use his influence to pre
vent the nomination of Attorney-Gen
eral Elkin will hereafter be exerted up
on Senator Penrose. All those Stalwarts
who doubt the wisdom of the Attorney
General's selection have come to the
conclusion that it is practically a waste
of time for them to address themselves
to Quay. He has no direct personal in
terest in the outcome of the campaign,
Penrose has. Congressmen who think
the nomination of Elkin will decrease
their chances of election find that what
they have to say upon the unwisdom of
Elkin's nomination makes more of an
impression upon Penrose than upon
Quay. They have learned that Penrose
is not enamored with the idea of having
the leaders committed to Elkin before
the counties hold their primaries. The
Senator is not in position, of course, to
say that Elkm, or any other man, shall,
or shall not, be the nominee, but for all
that they feel that he can do a good deal
to prevent the spread ot the idea that
Elkin has the endorsement of all the
leaders.
THE verdict in the Harris-Meek libel
suit is a curious and significant one. It
is a striking example of the w&y of a
jury, and it is an undoubted reflection
of the public disgust with the moral
standard of our politics.
It can hardly be disputed that the
verdict is not in accordance with the
evidence that was given to the jury
Under the restrictions imposed by the
Court the defense did not establish a
valid justification for the assertions
concerning the prosecuting witness.
Whether it would have succeeded any
better if it had been allowed to go into
the wide field it proposed is somewhat
doubtful. But after hearing the case
the jury comes to the conclusion that
the prosecutor was not libeled, which
carries a very stunning inference. Of
course, a thrifty country jury would
take care that the county should not
lose the costs.
The prosecution takes refuge in the
assertion that a majority of the jury
were Democrats. But the case was
brought in Mr. Harris' home county,
where both he and the District Attorney
were thoroughly acquainted. They
must have been well informed if any
jurors were liable to be swayed by
political prejudice ( and their accept
ance ot the jury precludes this plea and
makes the verdict especially crushing as
a reflection of popular opinion.
Such a verdict rendered in his own
county seems particularly severe on the
State Treasurer, and that aspect of it
will no doubt be dwelt upon by his
political enemies. But it is not correct
to regard its adverse impuration as
applying peculiarly to him. It applies
to him as the representative of a politi
cal system that has disgusted the public
by ite hardly concealed corruption, its
open and flagrant deals and its cynical
repudiation of reform pledges. It is all
the more crushing in that light because
it is inconsistent with the evidence and
the rules of law in the case.—Ex.
Startling Evidence.
The testimony which was somehow
got into the Harris-Meek trial from
Bentrand Busch, legislative reporter at
the last session of the Pennsylvania
Legislature, cannot pass without its
due comment. The followiug state
ment on the witness stand is quoted:
Many times marked roll-calls were
handed to me before the roll-call was
made, and often I recorded the names of
membets as voting whom I knew at the
time were not present. I knew it was
not right, but I couldn't help it. I had
to do as I was told or get out.
Assertions to this effects were made
daring the session, and commented
upon as amazing if true. Now we have
the evidence of the official reporter
that it was done not once or twice,
but "many times." There could hardly
be a more indisputable proof of the
subversion of popular government by
unscrupulous and reckless politicians.
Laws are supposed to be passed by
the vote of the representatives of the
people. The entire frame-work of pop
ular government rests on tbe integrity
and honesty of the records of the votea
of representatives. But here is a plain
statement of the fact that the people
of Pennsylvania are ruled by laws that
were not passed by the representatives
of the people at all. They were enact
ed by bogus roll-calls, sometimes made
up before the vote was taken, and
"often" by padding the vote with the
names of members who were not pres
ent and did not vote—all at the dicta
tion of unscrupulous manipulators who
care nothing for republican govern
ment.
What more complete demonstration
of the destruction of true popular gov
ernment by machine politics can be
needed before the people will resolve to
restore their right to rule themselves?

THE heart of the business portion of
the city of Patterson, N. J,, was de
stroyed by fire, last Sunday, with a loss
of ten millions. It is called the "silk
city" of the Union on acconnt of the
great silk mills there, none of which
were burned.
ELEVEN men lost their lives by the

Bad of the Libel Suit.
"Defendant not guilty, but he must
pay the costs." was the verdict brought
m at Clearfield, last Saturday morning,
by the jury chosen to decide whether P.
Gray Meek, of the Bellefonte Watch
man, was guilty of committing libel by
calling State Treasurer-elect Frank G.
Harris "king of crooks" and "an un
blushing bribe taker."
The jury came into court promptly at
9 o'clock and rendered the verdict. Both
Harris and Meek, and their attorneys,
were present. Whea the finding was
announced by tho clerk Harris grew
very red, then pale as death, and broke
out"with a forced, harsh laugh. He ex
pected conviction, as did his attorneys.
In sDme manner they were given a false
tip after the jury had agreed last night,
and they wore broad, knowing smiles as
they passed along the streets on the way
to the Court House.
Meek's friends had a different tip and
were not in the least surprised. The
question of costs is much misunderstood
The action of the jury imposes upon the
defendant the payment of the costs,
which, all told, amount to $47 62. The
defendant in a criminal prosecution is
always liable for the costs of his own
witnesses, unless the jury specially ren
der a verdict that the prosecutor shall
pay all costs in the case.
Immediately after the verdict was
read in the presence of his attorneys
Harris said the outcome was a vindica
tion for him, as Meek's counsel, he said,
had acknowledged during the trial of
the case that he had not been bribed
Following this statement Harris said
the panel of the jurors for this term had
been drawn for the jury wheel stuffing
case, and he was the victim. This case
occurred two years ago, and the party
indicted is on trial.
Editor Meek was congratulated on all
sides. Republicans and Democrats
grasped hib hand, and told hiin the}
were glad. On all sides, excepting, of
course, Mr Harris' immediate friends,
the verdict is commended. Just what
course Harris will now pursue on the
court suit brought against Meek for
|20,000 cannot be learned from the State
Treasurer or his friends. Many think
he will allow it to die by not filing a
statement as the law provides. Others
think he is so mad he will go the limit
Within an hour after the jury came
in ex-Judge Krebs was stricken with
something in the nature of appendicitis
at his office. He was attended by
two physicians, who said he is a very
sick man. but in no immediate danger.
A WRITER in the Saturday Evening
Post says it costs about $3,000,000 a year
or about $58,000 a week to compile and
publish some of the giant newspapers of
New York, with morning, evening and
Sunday edition circulations of 500,000
per day. The white paper used costs
SIB,OOO per week and ten acres of spruce
forest must be cleared daily to produce
it. The paper bill is scarcely paid by
the sale of copies at one cent each and
the remaining $40,000, of expenses must
be raised by advertisements. There are
70 tons of metal melted and used in
plate cuts in a big Sunday edition and
and the papers of tbe Sunday edition
weigh over 200 tons and fill 30 express
cars. The same writer places the
salary of the chief employe, editorial
manager at $15,000 or $20,000 a year and
salaries of other writers ranging down
to S2OOO a year for reporters. But
everyone knows that a "cub" reporter is
dead lucky to start in at sl2 a week.

The Landparter Case.
EDITOR CITIZEN*:— In speaking of the
Biddies case reference has been made in
the papers to the now almost forgotten
Landparter homicide case, happening
in this connty in the year 1853. and as
some of these references are incorrect
and some of your readers desire to know
something of the particulars of that
case, we submit the following brief ac
count of the same.
The cases against Landparter and
wife can be found at Nos. 1. 2, 3 and 4
of the criminal records of the connty at
June Sessions, 1853.
In one respect at least the Landparter
case more resembles the Biddies case of
any vet happening in the county, from
the fact, that Pittsburg officers were en
gaged in both; the difference being that
in one an officer was killed by the •
►fugitive and in the otuer the fugitives
were killed by the officers.
Casper Landparter and Eineranza. his
wife, came from Pittsburg to this coun
ty in, probably, the spring of 1853. They
had no children. He bought a small
piece of land down the Freeport road
about five miles from Butler. The
house on the land could not be seen
from the road, but the ground mnst
have extended up to the road (soutn
side), as Landparter was excavating for
the foundation of a blacksmith shop on
the Freeport road at the time the Pitts
burg officers came to arrest him. He
was a smith by trade, a worker in brass,
iron and other metals, and was said to
have been a skilled workman. While
living in Pittsburg he was charged, it
seemed, with some irregularity in con
nection with a gas pipe. An informa
tion was made there againsr him of a
criminal nature, and two constables
came with a warrant for his arrest,
April 21, 1853. Their names were Sam
uel 11. Ferguson and John F. K. Jones.
Ferguson was a large, or rather a tall
men, and said to have been personally a
very good and mild natured man. Jones
was a small, well built man. Land
parter must have had some knowledge
ot their coming, for he was concealed in
a chimney of his house when the two
officers went to it. The story Jones told
was that they searched the whole house
carefully, and were about to depart,
when something suggested that they
look up the big, old tashioned country
chimney On doing so Landparter was
discovered, and came down on denian d
But unfortunately for the officers he
was armed with a large knife, or sharp
pointed instrument, with which he im
mediately began an attack upon them,
and so speedy and fatal was his work
that before the two officers could check
him Ferguson fell to the floor and ex
pired in a few minutes He had re
ceived three stabs, one in the breast,
piercing away in, and one in the abdo
men, of like nature, either of which two
was necessarily fatal. Jones was also
badly stabbed and cut. but not fatally.
He had strength enough to get to a
neighbors and give the alarm. In the
meantime Landparter fled, passing up,
same dav and night, through what is
now Summit and Oakland townships,
reaching and crossing the Allegheny
river and getting, somehow, to the City
of Buffalo, as afterwards appeared
Neal Duffy, then a Constable of Clear
field township, in which this happened,
(but now Jefferson township,) pursued
him, but lost all trace of him at the
river. It was some three months before
any certain news was heard of hiiu.
Finally a letter came to the postoffice
here from Buffalo, addressed to his
wife, Emeranza Landparter This letter
gave the clue to his whereabouts.
Arthur McGill was then Sheriff of this
county and he deputized John McKee,
afterwards also Sheriff, and Robert, J.
Gregg, the father of our present Mr.
William Gregg, the hackman, to go to
Buffalo and bring Landparter here.
They arrested him without harm or
trouble as they had the nam * of the
street and the number of the house in
which he was. He was brought here
and indicted for the murder of Fergu
son. The trial would have been at the
then November Term of Court, 1853.
But he was in jail but a short time be
fore he made his escape from it. It was
supposed he had help and many were
the stories and rumors It was some
three or four years before it was kno.vi
that St. Louis. Missouri, was where he
had gone to Of course there could be
no trial of him and the cases stand open
yet. Mrs. Landparter was also indicted
and tried, both for aid in murder of
Fergufeon and felonious assault and
battery of Jones But she was acquitted
of both charges. No one felt like pun
ishing her after his escape Two son-<
of Mr. Ferguson came to prosecute for
the killing of their father. Mr. Jones
was the only witness in the cases, and
after the escape of Landparter was not
inclined to punish the woman
An inquest was held on the body of
Ferguson at the time and of all those
holding it, April 21, 1853, but one now
is living, Mr. Samuel Johnston, now of
Summit township Of the twelve men
composing tho jury that tried Emer.tn
za Landparter all have passed away ex
cept Mr. Thompson Kyle.of Harrisville,
unless Mr James Milford, who went
west, is living.
Those composing the Inquest on the
body of Ferguson,held by James Glenn,
Esq , then a Justice of the Peace in But
ler, were John McKee, Matthew Harbi
son, William Harbison, Jchn Fair, Wil
liam Mehaffy. Andrew Burtner, R. J.
Gregg, Daniel Malarky, Richard Mar
| tin, Sauieul Johnston, David Logan and

The names of the men composing the
Jury who tried and acquitted Mrs Land
parter, were: William Conway, Jr.,
John Gill, George Daubenspeck, Robert
Campbell, William McClymonds, Joseph
Doueghey. James Milford, Robt rt Lit
