Even Hi8 Enemies Concede They Have Fallen Flat. AN UNBIASED ANALYSIS OF THEM Charges Held In Secret For Over Fire Months sod Then Sprung Just a Week Too Late to Give Blm a Chance to Answer Before the Election The Flimsy Character of the Testimony The Evidence That the Whole Thing Is the Last Eflort of a Con spiracy of Disappointed Office Seekers, Similar to the Morey Letter Forgery Against Garfield. Philadelphia. Oct. 15. One of the most sensational political bombs since the Morey forgery against Garfield was exploded here this week with what promises to be a very Blmllar effect. I allude to the charKes made nKalnxt Senator Quay, his son, R. R. Quay, ex State Treasurer B. J. Haywood, and Attorney Charles H. McKee. People who are Intelligent enough to read have become so uped to whole sale and reckless charges against can didates in the last days of political campaigns that when such allegations are made too late to be tried out be fore the election they are discredited at the outset, and voters demand abundant proof before treating them otherwise than with contempt. It Is but an unbiased statement of fact to say that these charges have fallen flat. This la the common talk among law yers and business men who are famil iar with banking methods. An examination of the columns of several of the dally newspapers of this city and vicinity would indicate a dif ferent state of feeling, but the relation between some of these papers and all matters of publicity In which Mr. Wan- amaker Is supposed to have an Interest are peculiar. If Catiline had run a big department store In Philadelphia ae an annex to his conspiracy in Rome, and spent liberally for advertising, Cicero's denunciation of him would never have been heard of by the read ers of these Journals, and Instead of being banished from Rome Catiline might have posed to the end of his days as a royal purple patriot and a leading business man. Yet, as an example of how this boom erang prosecution strikes an editor who, although friendly to Mr. Wana maker, and openly supporting Swallow, has some regard for the truth and for his own fame as one of the great po litical editors of the country, read this editorial utterance from the pen of Colonel A. K. McClure In the Philadel phia Times of yesterday morning. He says: "Senator Quay has been helped rather than hindered In his great battle by a prosecution Instituted too late to be determined before the election, when all the facts relied upon to Incriminate him were as well known to the as yet hidden prosecutors months ago as they are today. In this age of universal schools and newspapers personal de famation and political prosecutions which must be tried after the political contest Is over, carry no conviction to the people of honesty of purpose or de votion to law and an honest public policy." When the first proclamation of the charges was made, with the informa tion that the whole police machinery of the city and county was thought to be so unequal to serving the warrants that they had been put In the hands of the Plnkertons a body of men so obnoxious that a bill was introduced In the legislature not long ago forbid ding their employment in this state public interest was worked up to high pitch. Nervous women who had relatives In the army might well trem ble at the prospect that the district at torney might yet call the troops back Into the field, in order to have the war rants served upon these desperate men at the point of the bayonet. When It was announced, apparently hy author ity, that the district attorney was about to mount a guard, armed with a rifle and two revolvers, at the vault con taining the evidence, there was a nat ural curiosity to hear some of this precious evidence. When the first de fendants were arraigned the magis trate's room was thronged almost to suffocation. That was last week. This week, when Mr. Haywood was arraigned, only a corporal's guard of loungers about police headquarters retained curiosity enough to attend. The peo ple had digested the samples of what the district attorney calls evidence, and rated It at what It was worth. The great sensation didn't last long enough to be even a nine days' wonder. The tone of the state newspapers corre sponds with this situation, and the comments of hundreds of men who have been honeBtly opposed to Sena tor Quay, but who despise assassina tion of character as a campaign weapon, accords with It. The reason of this is not hard to find. It is not that the people of Pennsylvania are willing to cloak guilt In any man, or to permit any station, however high, or any paBt services, however great, to check the machinery of Justice. But the common sense of fair mind ed men revolts at seeing the machinery of the courts turned over to any po litical faction to be used as an instru ment of personal spite and disappointed ambition. "For Justice, all place a temple, and all season summer." But, the only temple in all this city which suited the purpose of this prose cution, into which to take a senator of the United States, was the com mon police court, where the odoriferous drunk and the greasy vagrant have their dally morning hearings, and In all this long summer, during which all the hooks and papers were in the hands of the assistant district attorney, there was no seasonable date for beginning this prosecution until Just a few days too late to be tried before the election. It may be only a coincidence that dur ing all these months of silence the dis trict attorney, after IS consecutive years In orttce, expected to be again renominated, and that the suits were Instituted shortly after he was notified by Republican leaders of all factions that they would not challenge an up rlolnir of the .church and &reK vot of this moral community by putting him again on the ticket. If the co incidence Is not significant it is at least unfortunate. The evidence of dishonesty of purpose In the time of bringing the prosecu tion, within a few weeks of the election, after delaying for five months, compels even Colonel McClure to acknowledge It. The character of theevldence present-1 ed, and the manner of conducting tho hearing, were equally discrediting. The defendants were not given the privilege which In common decency belongs to the lowest suspicious character that of being confronted with their accusers. The most searching cross examination failed to uncover the mysterious per sons who were behind the prosecutions. A hired, detective in the district attor ney's office made the Information, and even he was not put on the witness stand. The Information was made and the hearing held before a police magis trate who had for years been a clerk In the office of the district attorney, to whose Influence he owed his Job. The special assistant district attorney was the star witness for the prosecution. The defense, of course, Is not heard at a preliminary hearing. It needed onlya commitment to prison without the privilege of ball to make the whole proceedings as summary, ar bitrary and one-sided as those by which the police of the czar consign whomso ever they see fit to the mines of Siberia, or the Grand Turk has his offending subjects tied up In a sack and cast Into the Rosphorus. And what did all the evidence, so dra matically vaunted In advance, amount to? First, that Senator Quay had an ac count In the People's bank for many years; that, like two-thirds of the busi ness men In Philadelphia, notable among them Mr. Wanamaker, he was buying and selling stocks, sometimes with a profit, sometimes at a loss; that, like three-thirds of the business men, most notoriously Including Mr. Wanamaker, he was borrowing money from time to time on his notes secured by the deposit of satisfactory collateral. But In all the correspondence and memoranda sub mitted there was not one allusion, direct or Indirect, to any deposit of public money of any sort. Upon the contrary there was almost continuous reference. In almost every letter, to Senator Quay's personal nccount, and the stocks, bonds and the like which he had deposited as security for his loans. Second. There was no evidence, charge or Insinuation thnt the state or any stockholder, depositor or creditor of the bank had lost a dollar by its dealings with the defendants, nor even a sugges tion that anybody, at any time, had ever risked losing anything thereby. Third. There was exhibited a pocket note book, purporting to have been kept by an official of the bank who commit ted suicide after confessing to embez zlement not one of the books of the hank wherein appeared, among a mass of other unintelligible memoranda, this: "200 Quay." And In two other places some other figures with "McKay" In one Instance written near by, and "McKee" In an other. In neither case were the names written In the same Ink, or apparently In the same hand as the figures. They were evidently written in afterward. It Is an Interesting fact, not developed at the hearing, but will be proved as soon as the defense has a chance to be heard (If the case is ever pressed for trial), that after the bank closed, and several days before the receiver came Into pos session, one of the men suppposed to be behind this prosecution, and one of Sen ator Quay's most vindictive enemies, obtained entrance to the bank by night, went through Its private receptacles and took away to a private house a bag full of Its papers and most valuable securities. If It were necessary to make alterations In private memorandum books there was abundant opportunity to do BO. Rut even If the memoranda were not forged. It would require an expert with an India rubber Imagination to find In them evidence to sustain the charge of "conspiracy to misuse state money, any more than conspiracy to recruit two hundred Spanish spies. Fourth. There was evidence that R. R. Quay, the senator's son, who with refined malignity is also Included in tho dragnet information, at one time bor rowed $100,000 from the People's bank. The books of the bank, however, also show that he deposited at the same time 1125.000 worth of stocks and bonds as security for the loan. The evidence that these securities were good and suf ficient Is that when It became necessary for him to pay the note, he transferred his securities Ir.tm other banks two of the oldest anu most conservative na tional banks in Philadelphia and bor rowed the money upon them to do so. The only other transaction of R. R. Quay referred to In the whole iro ceedlng is in a letter from the senator, saying that "Dick would be there the next week, and would probably need some help. If necessary, sell enough of my Sugar certificates to enable you to accomodate him." Does this look as If the Quays had the state funds to use at their convenience? Fifth. When R. R. Quay applied for this loan, although his securities were ample, being 125 to 100, there stilt re mained the question whether the bank was in condition to spare so much money. President McManes did Just what any bank president would do to avoid the chance of being pinched for currency write to customers having neavy deposits subject to check with out notice to Inquire whether they were likely to check heavily In the near future. The state being the heaviest depositor, he naturally wrote to the state treasurer. Treasurer Hay wood replied that the state deposit to the amount of some $800,000 would not be checked out until the $100,000 note was paid or arranged for. As the R. R Quay loan was a call loan, that Is to say, subject to payment at any time on demand, and had abundant collateral subject to sale by the bank to meet it, thla Haywood statement did Knot amount to more at the most thai) an assurance that he would not check heavily on the bank without, say, week's notice. The suggestion sought to be lnslnu ated that the $000,000 of state money, besides R. R. Quay's securities amount Ing to $125,000, Is to be regarded aa pledged for an indefinite time to secure his loan of $100,000, is too ridiculous fur serious discussion. Ranks which de mand $725,000 security for $100,000 loan do not break, and the People's bank did. This Is the whole of this case, inau gurated with so sensational a flourish of trumpets, and on this sort of evi dence all four defendants were held In ball not to be tried nor to have an op portunity to defend themselves until after the election. The present political effect of such a proceeding, so conducted at this time, la as stated at the beginning of this re view of It. If these defendants are guilty of any wrong doing no reputable newspaper, no good citizen, would have them go unpunished, but Intelligent press and fair minded people, however they may approve or condemn Sen Wr Quay's court ta politic, or h,ow. ever they may oppose or favor his re election, are alike quick to see the dif ference between the Impartial sword of public Justice and the poisoned dagger of private malice handled by political Joabs, stabbing In the dark. ORORGE H. WELSIION3. i SPAIN'S DECADENCE. At One Time Its ffnpreniacy Was the Drn.iri of the Nations. When Charles V was obliged to re nounce the dream of a universal mon archy, and to abandon the holy Roman empire to his brother Ferdinand, he was still able to make over to his son Philip II. territories which rendered Epsln the preponderating power in the civilized world. Besides his ancostoral dominions In the peninsula, to which. In 1580, he added Portugal, Philip wa master of the wealthy Netherlands, of Mllnn and Naples, of the Medlterrsne an Islands, and of the new world. Hit revenues far exceeded those of any other monnrch, his armies were admit ted to be the most formidable In Eu rope, and his command of the sea wns disputed only by the Turk, whose navy he crushed at Lepanto, until the disas ters of the armada gave warning that the old methods of maritime warfar were becoming obsolete. In every way the supremacy of Spain was the dread of the nations, and Its destruction was the cherished object of statesmen for a century. It was not their efforts, however, which accomplished the re sult. Olivares, H is true, was over matched by Richelieu, but Spain had a vantage ground, enabling her to hold her own against external assault. The causes of her decadence were internal; thoy were numerous, but may be roughly defined as springing from prido, conservntism, and clericalism. To a greater or less degree, all Span ish colonies were fields in which cleri calism rioted at will. A conspicuous instance of this is found in the Philip pines, where the missions of the Augua- tlnian recollects acquired such power that theannalsofthatcolony seem rath er to be the reoord3 of the Aiigustlnlnn province of San Nicholas than those of a royal dependency. In such a community tho position of governor had few attractions for an honest man. In 1719, a new governor, Bnstamente Bustillo, found on his ar rival thnt all the royal officials had been busily embezzling and pilfering, leaving the treasury nearly empty. After ascertaining the facts, he set tj work energetically to recover the funds. and to punish the guilty, who there upon, as seems to have been custom ary In such cases, sought asylum In the churches. One of them had carried with him certain official records neces sary for the verification of the ac counts, and these Bustillo requested the archbishop to make htm surrender. The archbishop replied with a learned argument, drawn up for him by a Jesuit, proving that the governor's re quest was illegal. Bustillo lost his temper at this, and arrested the arch bishop, who forthwith cast an Inter dict over the city. Then tlie monks and friars turned out in organized bands, marching through the city with cruflxes, and shouting, "Vive la fe! Vive la Igleslal" They speedily col lected a mob, which they led to the palace; the doors were broken In, the governor and his son murdered, and when the archbishop was released, he assumed the governorship under the advice of an assembly consisting ex clusively of ecclesiastical dignitaries. In these perpetually recurring trou bles between the secular and the cler ical authorities, the Inquisition was not behindhand, although there was no organized tribunal In Manila. Henry C Lea, In the Atlantic. Kfni.n. Murder I.w. Governor Leedy's position that he will not sentence a murderer to death Is that assumed by his predecessors since the present evasive and pusillani mous statute concerning murder has been one of the Kansas laws. Gover nor Leedy and every intelligent man in Kansas understands that the object of the law was to abolish capital pun ishment. That was toe intention of the Legislature, and the (Governor be lieve in respecting the purpose and de sire of the law-making body. There may be some day a Kansas Legislature with firmness and consistency enough to substitute for the present law an act defining the punishment for mur der In the first degree, making it either death or life imprisonment Until that time comes the Governor of Kan sas will decline to perform the duty properly devolving on a trial Judge. In other words, if the courts in Kansas do not bang people, the Governors will not. Kansas at present has no law fixing absolutely the punishment of a cruel and wicked murderer, and thla condition will continue until there ahall arlsea Legislature with manliness and decency enough to frame a rea sonable statute. Kansas City Star. Soap and It Vmrm. There is exported from Great Bri tain more soap than was used in Great Britain at the beginning of the present century, and, besides, according to au thentlc figures, 400,000,000 pounds o soap is used In Great Britain even year, exclusive of 55,000.000 pound exported to other countries, chiefly English colonies. The French manu facture of soap amounts approximately to 300.000,000 pounds a year, the larger part of which is made in the city of Paris. The sale in other countries of French soap and particularly of French perfumed soap.is a considerable item of commerce. The exports of soap from Great Britain In recent years have beeu as follows: 1875, 12,500 tons; 1880, 19.500; 1S85, 20,100; 18'jO, 25,000; 1895, 27,500. What were known in England aa the aoap taxes originated during the reign of Queen Anne and were originally fixed at $150 a ton, yielding In the year 1S30 a public revenue in excess of 17,000,000. gome people owe their goodness to the fact that they Lav never been tempted.
