Tub Unofficial Cogitations of the Hon. Thomas
li. Reed of New York.
The most conspicuous llepublicaan statesman
not n w holding ofliee contributes an urticle of
great political interest to the current number of
the North American foricie. By a coincidence
originating in no intention on tiis 'part, Mr,
y Heed's views of some the questions now fore
mast hapeu to mu ll the people almost simul
taneous! v wiih the President's message. Acorn-
,Tbe'tWv lopves ' of . leadine ImporUawe dur
omsmk! by Mr. Reed-are anti-trust legialatien. by
means of the Constitutional amendment or
otherwise, and tariff revision by means of a
non-political Commission or otherwise. Coo-
Jcerning both subjects, the opinions which he ex
presses are marked on this occasion by bis usual
sanity of judgment and clearness of statement,
by the absence of anything like hysteria or the
self-consciousness of mental exaltation, and in
cidentally by the characteristic wit which puts
a sparkle as rf carbonic acid gas into his spoken
or written utterances and makes them often so
refreshing to partake.
The recent announcement through the New
York World, of Mr. Cleveland's views of pub
lic policy, and this evidence of the Hon. Thomas
Brackctt Reed's present and acive interest in
the political problems of the time, plainly indi
cate that there is to be no trust, syndicate or
monopoly in the commodity of high-grade
American statesmanship
The Bannerville Robbery. ,
The robbery and capture of the miscreant at
Bannerville Sunday morning by the shooting of
the vagabond, awakens inquiry concerning the
outcome of the affair.
When a man breaks open a house or store, he
surrenders the protection of the law. If he
locse8 his life while thus transgressing, his rela
tiver have uo redress. There is no law civil or
parison of the respective thoughts and methods' moral that will justify the taking of human life,
of thought is naturally, nay, inevitably, sugges- yet in the event of the robber's death, no jury
would convict Mr. Shellenberger of murder or
even of voluntary manslaughter.
The writer recalls reading a judge's charge to
a jury in a similar case some years ago hi which
the learned jurist said : "If a man breaks into
ted by this accidental conjunction. The acci
dent, however, will be regarded by nobody as un
fortunate. On the contrary, the process of pub
lic enlightenment is bound to profit much
thereby.
my bouse, as a citizen, lawyer and a judge, I
will lay that I would shoot to kill and would
advise others to do the same."
The first taw of the land and of God is self
preservation aud when a man breaks into a
house to rob, he is likely to kill the inmates, if
nesessary to secure plunder aud is usually pre
pared to do so.
Even should the m!i't, who gives his name
as (Jeorge Snyder, die, Mr. Shellenberger could
surrender himself to the law for trial, but he
would not need to, but should the relatives ot
Snyder see proper to arrest Shellenberger, the
latter would not need to fear to p'aee his case
into the hands of any jury drawn in Snyder
County.
The ' citizens of Snyder County are resting
easier 6iuce one villian is disabled and not likely
to molest the property of any other' person and
the gratitude toward Mr. Shellenberger will
certainly clear him from any penalty the law '
provides for taking human life.
Mr. Shcllenberger's store was robbed last
February and as he holds to the peaceful alti
tude of the Dunkard faith, marauders may have
presumed their lives would lx safe in his hands,
but fortunately for the security of our people,
such was not the case.
There is no . doubt that Mr. Shellenberger
did not shoot with the intention of killing, only
to disable and capture the fellow who wanted
to plunder his property. In determining the
nature of a crime, the law goes back of the
deed itself in order to ascertain the motive. In
this case we have, no doubt an investigation
would show that the motive was of such a
character that the law would justify Mr, Shel
lenberger. In Lewisburg several years ago, Mr. Done
hower shot a burglar, and the Courts said to Mr.
Douheower, that he had no penalty to pay.
