influence In an effort to entire
ly change 1t, cannot surprise any
one, and should not be condemned by
any one In view Of the fact, that In
eight years the aggregate city and
State taxation under which these men
suffer, to say nothing OF probably
twelve or fifteen millions Of federal
taxation, amounts to AZ much as all the
property Of the city and State Is worth.
Nor is this all. The carpet bag gov.
ernments Of the South have created In
ten States, besides wringing all this
money from the property holders, State
debts, which the property holders will
have to pay, aggregating $2s4, ,OOO, 900.
There may be great many gentle
men concerned In money rings, in State
security rings, or State House or other
sort Of rings, which thrive and flourish
under this sort OF government, and
there may be many good men who do
not realize the magnitude OF this evil
which stalks In our midst like pesti-
lence, though it strikes not like thun-
derbolt, who may poo-poo the re-
sistance Of property holders to this
devastating and insidious system; but
men who really desire to see our repub-
lican system Of government preserved
and made blessing to the people
should bear in mind that Hampden and
the illustrious men who co-operated
with him felt that an unjust and illegal
tax Of twenty shillings ought to be re-
sisted to the last resort, and that, out Of
the effort of the king to enforce such a
tax, sprang the English revolution.
The DEMOCRAT Is not the organ Of the
Property Holders Union; it holds that
the evils Of the State may be all reme-
died through the Democratic Conserva-
tive party But we believe that such
organizations as the Union among
property holders, or among mer-
chants or mechanics or laborers.

Of bad government, as they oppress

BUSH, THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.

Bush, the negro porter, has been SO
identified with the Office Of Attorney
General since A. P. Field has held it, is
as last gone glimmering. He had made
himself quite notorious since he had
held the position OF porter and door
keeper to Field, and was generally sup
posed to have been the man who so con-
tinuously. night after night, burglar
lied the office Of Attorney General.
Bush's trouble arose from women and
newspapers. In a weak moment, some
months ago, he married three wives
since then he has ever been in trouble.
Last Thursday several OF these wives
called at the Office in the State House,
attacked and reviled Bush, and de-
manded that he should pay their rent.
freed from them, and obtained what he
supposed was paper of divorce; but
this did not frighten the women, who
returned, and with the assistance Of po-
licemen, reporters, ct al, SO worried
Bush that he finally altogether lost his
senses, published all sorts Of cards in
the papers, and in the end, In violent
fit Of desperation and supposed insani-
ty, telegraphed to Fields children that
the old man (FieldD vas dying and they
had better come on at once.
An investigation showed this to be a
falsehood; and, for the general benefit
OF the office, Field, at once, dismissed
Bush and ordered the policeman to
arrest him IL he should ever attempt to
come in the office again.
When last seen Bush had handker-
chief tied around his head and was un-

A Hebrew Weddinx.

Atthe Broad street Synagogue, Phil
adelphia, some days ago, Moses Ho-
henfels and Rachel Haus, were united
in the bonds Of wedlock. From the
ceiling of the altar, which is surmount-
ed by heavily -gllded dome, hung the
lamp in which the light is never allow
ed to 60 out, the gentle blaze throwing
soft light over the interior. In front
of the altar were eight burning wax ia
pers, four on each side, and IN the or
gan-loft over the pulpit were the or
ganist and his assistants, waiting for
the appearance of the bridal process
sion. On the little low pulpit inside
the rail we're two silver cups filled With
wine.
At half-past four, at the signal from
the usher, the orgauist struck up i've

Was handsomely attired in the usual
bridal equipments, and the bridegroom
wore suit of shining black and a
black silk hat, which be did not remove
throughout the ceremony. The bride

positions inside the rail and in from. of
the little pulpit, the bride aud groom

the Rev. DR.. Jastrow, waiting to re-

the usual Hebrew clerical costume, a
small black cap and black gown, with a
white scarf across the shoulders.
The Jewish law requires the BRIDES
face to be covered with veil, and the
requirement that ten adults shall be
present to maks q legal ceremony, vas
more than fulfilled. The ceremony
was begun BY the rabbi taking the wine
cups IN his hands and pronouncing a
short blessing in Hebrew, the BRIDE and

A RAILROAD COMPANY founo itself
in court in Judge james l.. Sterritt's
district-the Fifth-at Pittsburg, about
the election of off ers for the company.
A number of stockholders desired TO
vote under the Cumulative system, as
provided by the new Constitution. The
election board would rot receive the
votes, and for not thus receiving them
the case was taken into court. Judge
Sterrett rendered decision that
squares with the cumulative system.
The decision is too lengthy for our col
umns this issue. We publish such a
part of it as expresses the interpreta
tion the Judge gives to the law:
The act of l9;h February, 1919,
which regulates the right of voting for
directors, provides "tbat each share of
the stock shall entitIe the holder thereof
to one vote" This does not mean sim
ply one single rofe and no more. 1t
means one vote each for the number of
directors to be elected. Ii, for exam
pie, the board to be elected consists of
twelve directors, the holder of share
is authorized to cast one vote for each
of the twelve, or twelve votes ia all
One vote is separately connected .or
each of the twelve voted for This is
practically twelve votes. Thus, also,
If the sto:kholder has ten shares he is
authorized TO cast ten votes for each
one of the twelve to be elected, or one
hundred and twenty single votes in all.
So that, in point of fact, the whole
number of separate votes that each
shareholder is actually entitled to cast,
under the act of lS49, is ascertained
by multiplying the number of shares he
holds By the number of persons to be
elected; but he caunot cast more votes,
for each pcsson to be elected, than be
has shares of stock.
The change sought to be introduced
by the section under consideration was
TO enable each shareholder, if be chooses,
20 consolidate his single votes and cast
the whole number I" for one candidate
or distribute them upon two or more
candidates as he may prefer" What
is really meant, then, by the phrase
s.the whole number of his votes" in the
new constitution is not one single vote
for each share of stock, but as many
votes for each share as there are direc-
tors to be elected. The language en-
ployed is fairly susceptible of this con-
siruetion. and this, taken in connection
with what was manifestly the UNDER
standing of the trainers Of the consti-
tuition, leads ~ to the conclusion that
those stockholders who chose to tender
six votes for each Of the relators for
each share of stock held BY them had
clearly the right to do SO, and that the
Judges of the ectiou erred in refusing
10 receive the votes so rendered
