FREELAND, PENN'A, MAY 28, 1890. (Juestioned the President. From the Washington Times. An amusing incident, which caused President Cleveland to smile, occurred one afternoon recently during one of the public receptions at the White House. Frank Maloy, of No. 29 Seventh street northeast, had as visitors his sister-in-law, Mrs. J. W. Maloy and her daughter, Miss Florence, of Lansford. Pa., and Miss. Margaret Durkins. of Pittston, Pa. After visiting the museums and other public buildings, the party decided that their trip to the capital would be incom plete unless they had a handshake with Mr. Cleveland. It was therefore deter mined to attend the 1 o'clock presiden tial reception. Lfttlo nino-year-old Marcella Maloy, daughter of Frank Maloy, accompanied the party to the executive mansion. While enroute to the big white building the party discussed the forthcoming presidential contest, and little Marcella became an eager listener. "Yes." said the wife of the Pennsyl vania editor, "President- Cleveland is looking for a third term, I believe, and it is my hopo that he will get it." Now, the phrase "third term" was as Greek or Choctaw to Miss Marcella, and she asked: "What is a third term?" She was told it was a political matter, which she did not understand. While proceeding to the White House the "third term" business remained up permost in Marcel la's mind. She thought It over and over. Finally the mansion was reached, and the Maloys took their places in the long line of visi tors who were passing along to grasp Mr. Cleveland's strong right hand. At last Marcclla's turn arrived. Reaching out her little hand, and gaz ing earnestly into to the president s face, the nine-year-old asked, in an innocent childish fashion: "Mister Cleveland, is you looking for a third term?" The president's sides shook and a smile broadened his face as he pleasantly nodded to Miss Maloy. "Then, Mister President, I hope you will find it." Before Mr. Cleveland could regain his equanimity and reply the usher, who no doubt wanted to relieve the chief execu tive from such a direct thrust, took Marcella's hand and led her along. Words and Actions Don't Correspond. It is rumored that some of the sub scriptions for the bonds of tin; overall factory are not coming in as rapidly as they might, and it is further reported that some of the bond subscribers art: not over-pleased at the actions of those in charge. The hone of conten tion, it appears, is that part of the Board of Trade has done too much talking for the "benefit of the town," and when given an opportunity to put themselves on record and show how much real interest they had in Freeland s future, they confirmed all the suspicions entertained by grinding personal axes. The Board of Trade, as a whole, is com posed of the best and foremost of our citizens, but if it wants to retain the confidence of tiie public a radical change of methods and less nepotism among some members is necessary. Get Them Into the Borough. The annexation question seems to he taking a nap. This is not as it should be. There is room in Freeland for those lands and buildings which arc now a part of the town, but not of the borough. The limits should be extended so as to include that part of South Ridge street upon which the Coxo Memorial school, the Grand opera house and several dwellings are located, also tin east side of Fern street from Walnut to South. Residents of the territory named have neither a voting place nor a school for their children. They be longed by right to the borough and no time should he lost in getting thorn in. The Silk Mill Delay. It is about time that the people of town, especially those who subscribed money, be given some light upon the silk mill project. It is understood that the last appeal made for subscriptions to the proposed bond Issue was responded to with a readiness that reflected con siderable credit upon the nionicd men of town. Some of those who placed their names on the paper are now won dering what is causing the delay. Has the proposed modern (ire alarm gone to keep company with tin- hills sunt to the Traction Company for publishing ordinances and cleaning snow? An answer would he appreciated by tax payers, property owners and firemen. Tlie Salt of the Uurtli. A wealthy man died last winter in Philadelphia, whose name was not found 011 one of the lists of patrons to great public charities. Rut large num bers of poor men and women went to his funeral, and it was found that he had been for years in the habit of secretly giving one-lialf of his income to help the poor and to make the world better. His desire to give was equaled by hi* dislike for notoriety. All of his chari ties were, as far as possible, kept secret. He said once to a friend: "When I was a young mail I heard Horace Greeley say: 'Never let a day go by in which you don't warm somebody's life.' I hadn't money to give then. How could I make anybody's life warmer? I had plenty of fun and courage, so I used to try to give that to despondent and discour aged people that I casually met. A hearty word, even a shake of the hand helps. But the needy folk increased so fast that I had to alter the resolve into not lett ing an hour pass without giving help, and now I see so ninny around me that all the minutes of the day would not be enough to comfort them!" One poor drunkard whom he had rescued said of liim: "He does not go naked out of life. He is clothed with his count less kindly deeds." "IT may seem a trivial thing to you," said a well-known druggist, "but one of our greatest annoyances is about corks. I have been in the drug busi ness for nearly 15 years, and I feel sure that my experience is no different from that of eveiry druggist. The trouble I complain of is that almost 90 of every 100 persona when presenting a bottle for medicine will invariably retain the cork until you have filled the bottle, put a new cork in it and tied it up, when they will say: 'I have the cork.' This may seem a trifle to kick about, but corks cost money, and then there is trouble occasionally to fuul one to lit a bottle properly. The amount of money we lay out annually for corks might be cut down fully 50 percent, if our customers would only think." TIIE following high rates of interest have been incorporated in recent loans made 011 real estate in Los Angeles: To run three years at 17 per cent., to run six years at 9 per cent., to run two years at 11 per cent., to run three years at S% per cent., to run two years at 10% per cent., to run six years at 5 per cent., to run three years at 9 per cent., to run two years at 8 percent., to run two years nt 9% percent. This goes to show that money lenders of Los Angeles are "on the hog." SOME hopeful speculators who linve been counting unhatchcd chickens ore about t-o start a poultry ranch near San Francisco which is to be the largest in the world. Jt is to reach its full capacity in three years, when it is to put 011 the market annually 2,000,000 eggs and 90,000 chickens for broiling. The plant will include two incubators, with a capacity of 2,000 eggs each, and 110 end of houses and pens, which will be contained in a 40-acre ranch. There will be 900 hens laying for the incu bators and 10,000 laying for the market. CHLOROFORM and ammonia killed a centipede and saved a cat at Spring- Held the other day. The centipede dropped from a bunch of bananas upon t he cat and at once buried its poisonous fangs in the animal's legs. Its mistress, with rare presence of mind, dropped chloroform on the insect, which sue climbed, and then she applied ammo nia to the cat's leg. It was a triumpl of presence of mind, apparently. A YOUNG man residing in a Boston suburb was in the habit of evading his fare 011 the railroad. Being observed by a Scotch Salvation Army convert, one morning, the Salvationist passed the conductor two tickets, and upon in quiry l>y the conductor, said in a tone of voice sufficiently loud for all in the car to hear: "One is for this young maji; he never appears to have a ticket." SAN FRANCISCO'S municipal officials have decreed that no bicycle rider can carry 011 his wheel a child under six years of age. This is certainly a wise provision. What chance of escape from serious in jury has an infant lliat is trussed up on tlie handle of a bicycle in an acci dent? It is very fine to take the ba bies out for an airing, but it is very dangerous. ONE of six graduating students of the West IN nn medical college blew out the gas in a hoi<l bedroom in Pitts burgh. I'a., the other night. All six students were sleeping in the room, and all came very near being asphyxiated. This item may be interesting as show ing that even a college graduate doesn't know everything. AN Augusta (Me.) court spent two days during a recent week over a civil case 111 which the quarrel was over one dollar in the price paid for putting in a cellar wall, and a question as to whether the wall was 42% or 42% feet long.

Washington, May 2(s.—The effect of the decision in the sugar bounty cases by the United -States supreme court will make immediately available for their payment more than $5,250,000. For the payment of the cane, beet and sorghum sugar claims congress appro priated $5,000,000. These claims amount t050,111,500, and arc classified as follows, cents omitted: Louisiana, 475 claims, $5,591,017 bounty claimed, third Texas district, 15, $125,812; Florida, 9, $5,655; California, 3, $293,- 208; Nebraska, 1, $45,387; Kansas, 2, $0,259; Utah, 1, $45,802. Total, 502 claims: so,lll,soobounty claimed. All these claims have been approved by the commissioner of internal revenue, and as the total amount allowed is larger than the appropriation the claims will have to he prorated, or an additional appropriation made to meet thein. When the bounty was repealed certain sugar producers hail completed their production and presented claims for bounty, and these claims, amount ing to $238,380, remained unpaid. Of this class of claims 4,540 were for maple sugar, dis tributed us follows, cents omitted; New Hampshire, 2,859, $81,282; third Massachusetts, 33, $834; fourteenth New York, 74, $1,790; twenty-first New York, 870, $23,145; twenty-eighth New York, 130, $2,130; twelfth Pennsylva nia, 15, $208; twenty-third Pennsylva nia, 237, $5,284; Maryland, 78, $2,721; West Virginia, 12, $219: tenth Ohio, 28, $710; eighteenth Ohio, 130, $2,375, fourth Michigan, 50, $820; Minnesota, 0, $159.

CONSTITUTIONAL AND JUDICIAL OB STACLES TO REFORM. Were you looking to bo lit 1(1 together by the lawyers? [ Or by an agreement on a paper? Or by arms? Nay. Nor the world nor any living thing will —Walt Whitman. Story, in the preface to his "Commen taries," speaks of the constitution as "in the highest sense the palladium of American liberty." Hamilton showed a dearer conception of its scope. In The Federalist he stated that its adoption Would afford additional security to "the preservation of republican government, to liberty and to property." Popular opinion up to the present day sustains Judge Story, and it is as bulwarks of liberty that the constitutions of the na tion and of the state arc usually regard ed. It is the object of this article to point out briefly some reasons for revis ing this opinion and for recognizing the fact that our constitutions have become the bulwarks of property and of little elso. To this end I will cite at random three leading cases which have been de cided within a year or two. First.—The income tax case (Pollock versus Fanners' Loan and Trust Co., 15 Sup. Court Rep., 912) holds that con gress cannot impose an income tax on account of a provision in our constitu tion adopted in 1789, which declares that representation and direct taxes must be apportioned among the several states according to their population (Constitutionof thoU. S., article 1, sec-, tions 2 and 3). The dissenting opinion of Mr. Justice Harlan shows clearly that in deciding that an income tax is a "direct tax" the supreme court lias run counter to the tendency of all the deci sions of the last century. It is admitted that this paragraph of the constitution was inserted as a part of tlio compro mise between the north and south on the subject of the representation of the slaves in congress. The reason for the provi sion ceased with the amendments adopt ed during the war, and yet our highest court in interpreting this clause, instead of taking a broad view of the question, lias applied to the case a kind of petti fogging logic which might not, perhaps, bo out of place in an action on a prom- EIINEST 11. CROSBY, issory note. To do this they have been obliged to turn their backs on a series of decisions looking in the other direction, and tho result is that they have denied us tho right of levying a tax of the most democratic description, although it has long been collected without question in England and Germany. Second.—The second is the Hyat tsvillo case, decided in January, 185)3, by tho supreme court of Maryland (Wells ver sus Hyattsville, 77 Md., 125). In this case tho town of Hyattsville had under taken under an act of tho legislature to raise its taxes exclusively from land aft er dedueting tho worth of improve ments. It was, in fact, an experiment in the direction of tho single tax. llero article 15 of tlio declaration of rights in the Maryland constitution, first adopted over a century ago, was found to stand in the way, that articlo requiring taxes to be levied on both real and personal property. The court declares that under this article all exemptions of personal property must be null and void (page 142). As the drift of tax reform is decid edly in this direction, the state of Mary land is to a great extent closed to any improvement in her tax system. Tho court's opinion of the single tax is not flattering. It is "a scheme which if suffered to obtain a foothold will inevi tably lead to ruinous consequences" (page 138). Third.—Tho third case is that of Kitchio versus the people, decided in March, 1895, by the supreme court of Illinois (N. E. Reporter,volume 40, page 454). An act had been passed by the leg islature (act of June 17, 1893) provid ing that "no female shall be employed in any factory or workshop more than eight hours in any one day or 48 hours in any one week." The court declares this section to bo unconstitutional under the article of the constitution of Illinois (articles 2 and 20) which says that "no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law." As the provision is common to almost all, if not all, of our constitutions, tho decision is of interest throughout tho country. Judge Magriulcr in giving the opinion of the court speaks as follows: "Labor is property, and tho laborer has the samo right to sell his labor and to contract without reference thereto as any other property owner. In t his coun try the legislature lias no power to pro vent persons who are sui juris from making their contracts, nor can it inter fere with the freedom of contract be tween the workman and the employed. This enactment is a purely arbitrary restriction upon the fundamental right of the citizen t<> control his or her own time or faculties." It will be noticed that this opinion, while it decides tho case against the employees and in favor of the employer, is so drawn as to lead one to suppose that it is really the wom en and children who have won the lawsuit, and that it is their interest and ambition to be allowed to work 24 hours a day. Now, what class of the community has been protected by these three deci sions? In the income tax case it is the class whose incomes are over #4,000 a year. This includes persons who receive I large salaries and also the more impor tant class of those who have large in vested estates. It was the latter class that attacked the act, as is shown by the character of tho parties in the two eases—viz, the Farmers' Loan and Trust company and the Continental Trust cow pany. In the Hyattsville case protection is afforded to landlords. In tho Illinois eight hour caso it is i the factory owner who is protected j against the women and children in his employ. In connection with this dcei- I sion it is worth while to note a recent newspaper item, which sets forth that ! "in Canton, Ills., a city of about 9,000, j there is a plow factory and numerous cigiir factories where children work for #1.50 aud #2.50 a week of 10 and 12 j hours a day." I Are there any recent constitutional j decisions protecting life and liberty to ; set off against these three protecting | property? If there are any, I should be 1 glad to cite them, but I do not know of ! one—not by any means that no occasion for such a decision has presented itself. In the caso of Debs (15 Supreme Court Reporter, page 900) the right of a single judge to imprison a defendant for con | tempt of court, alt hough his alleged acts constituted crimes and misdemeanors, is ; upheld, which decision certainly does ; away with "due process of law" in the ! case of "life and liberty" and throws i jury trials to the winds. It is unneces ! sary hero to dilate on the opinion of the j court below, which, while admitting ; that Debs counseled moderation, calmly j holds that ho dicl not mean what he said. It is stamped with prejudice from beginning to end. There are two reasons for this failure of our constitution to protect 1 ifo and liberty while they go much too far in protecting property. In the first place, our judges are prejudicial; in the sec : ond place, our constitutions are in some respects antiquated. First.—As to the judges, I am far from believing that they have any in tention to render unjust decisions, but all their prepossessions run in one direc tion. Corporations pay the best fees, lirnco every young lawyer hopes to be come a corporation lawyer. Practically every successful lawyer is a corporation lawyer. From this class our judges arc selected. It is therefore perfectly natural that they should look upon invested wealth as the one important thing in tho world. They naturally regard all movements in favor of "life and liber ty" at tlio expense of "property" as un holy combinations, to suppress which— as in the case of dynamiters or armed brigands—a court is justified in exercis ing all its ingenuity. It is this kind of ingenuity which our courts havo made use of in the income tax and Debs cases. Another example occurred recently in Brooklyn. An act of the legislature for bade tlio trolley companies to "exact more than ten hours' work a day" from their employees. Tho men were forced to continue to work over 12 horn's a day. Tho county court decided that this did not conflict with the statute because the companies did not "exact" 12 hours' work, for the employees could, if they liked, leave their employ. This deci sion, (if course, absolutely nullified tho legislative enactment. Still another ex ample < f legal prejudice is afforded by tho antitrust act. This act has never been enforced against trusts, but it has been distorted into an act against strik ers, and against strikers its provisions havo been carried out. This piece of legerdemain was the? work of a court of equity, save tho mark! Second.—But our constitutions, too, are a trifle outworn. As we saw in tho Hyattsville ease, tlic y sometimes block I the way to progress even when fairly ! interpreted. Our national constitution j was at best a triple compromise between large states and small states, between j slavery and free labor and between dem | ocrats and aristocrats. It was adopted : by a population of 5,000,000 straggling ' along 1,000 miles of scaeoast. It now j governs over 00,000,000 people, and tho I industrial condition of the world has | changed more since 1789 than it had in , 2,000 years before that time. That the I constitution was a masterpiece no ouo can deny, but are wo not expecting a lit i tic too much from it under our vastly ! altered circumstances? Does not tho • dead hand rest somewhat too heavily on j our institutions, and does not the earth | belong to tlio living? i The remedy for such shortcomings, as I have pointed out, lies principally in the spread of true ideas, for tho world is ruled by ideas. We must build up a correct public opinion. The blind wor ship of tho constitution should bo rele gated to the limbo of ancestor worship and tho fetish dance. We must insist upon a liberal construction and urge tho preference of the rights of life and lib erty to those of property. Tho courts would soon reflect a healthy public opinion on these subjects. There are bound to bo great changes in the civiliz ed world in the next century. We should not labor under disadvantages from which all other nations are free. Wo must not bo hampered at every step by the fetters of the dead. John Burns said that tho two things which struck him most in America were unconstitutional ity and "Keep Off the Grass." It is high time for us to mako such stigmas im possible. ERNEST H. CROSBY.

The bill was also heavily loaded with private claims. , House of Representatives. I The house to-day in committee of ; | the whole is still considering the bill ; to repeal that section of the present > tariff law providing for rebate on • alcohol used in the arts and in ; medicinal compounds. Mr. Evans, rep., Ky., on behalf of the ways and means committee, offered an amend ment providing for the appointment of three senators and three representa tives to consider the question relating to the use of alcohol in the arts and manufactures free of tax and to ro i port to the next session of con gress. In advocating the passage of the bill Mr. Evans stated that the section had been found so faulty that no resolutions could be framed by the treasury department—as the language of the section directed—that would protect the government, and that the government stood to lose $25,- 000 to $30,000 in claims every day since it was enacted. The repeal of the section was vigorously opposed by Messrs. Russell and Hill, reps., Conn., on the ground that it would be a re versal of one of the principles of the republican party in the matter of pro tection—the latter giving notice that he would move to strike out the repeal clause and insert instead the amend ment for a committee of investigation.
