The Uolored Voter.

During the past week several del
egations of colored citizens called on
President Cleveland and were received
by him with every assurance that the
sympathies of the Administration were
warmly enlisted for the advancement
and happiness of the colored race, and
that in all matters their rights would
be properly guarded and their wishes
and claims receive due consideration.
One of the visiting bodies represent
cd the Conference of the Methodist
African Church, very important and
numerous body. The colored clergy
man who talked with the President
told him that in some regions their
flocks had really been led to believe that
the success of the Democracy meant
the reestablishment Of slavery and the
stripping OF the colored people of all
their civil and political rights secured
by the constitutional amendments.
They declared that this error was now
eradicated, and that in the revulsion OF
feeling the colored people are now pre-
pared to recognize the Democrats as
their real friends, and to expect better
treatment from the present Administers
tion than they had experienced from
many of its predecessors.
1t is indeed a good thing that the
foolish fears of the colored people
have been dispelled and that their eyes
are open to the truth at last. 1t will
make them happier, more content. and
less disposed to feel unfriendly towards
their white neighbors. 1t will promote
the interest of the Southern States and
of both races. 1t will serve to obliter
ate the distinction of color, to elevate
the negroes, and to free their lives
from most unfortunate prejudice.
If the Democratic Administration
had accomplished nothing more, i
would have done great and benefioia
work in emancipating the mind OF thu
colored people from ignorance and pre-
iudice. The whole people will be hap
pier for it and the nation will be NOR
prosperous from the knowledge tina
the country's honor and the peoples
rights are safer under Democratic
than under Republican Administra

Steward Robson.

MEssRs. EprroRs :
DEAR SlRs.--W While it may per-
haps never be definitely known who
fred the fatal shot that ended the ca
reer Of the gallant aud lamented Rob
ison, yet we have never heard 1t dispu-
ted as to the individuality Of the com
pany that engaged in the fray on that
memorable night. In all seriousness
the people sympathized with the un
fortunate man. The sad event brought
the "anathemas' from far and near
with threat upon threat of extermina.
ton and devastation ON this doomed
community, and which furnished a
theme and pretext for Republican ad-
veuturers and malice that both led to
deeds of atrocity and persecution, the
consequences and extent OF which can
not be fathomed by human imagina-
tion, except only by those who had the
bitter experience, and which will cause
the blood to curdle in the veins of fu-
ture generations. Behind the unfortu-
nate Robson they justified every act
OF blind revenge They sought TO make
every Democrat in the community
atone for the deed, and how they suc-
ceeded the world knows. They stand
self-convicted, and much more respon-
sible for the death of Robson than the
Democrats. Let them attempt to re-
fute the self evident truth and the es-
tablished facts as they appear. Either
Robson was not murdered in the Grim.
inal sense as alleged, or the State of
Pennsylvania has no laws to punish
the crime of murder. The shooting
was no crime in the same sense, or
Pennsylvania has no code of criminal
laws. Evidently it was no offense
against the government for the gov
ernment had them in their power, and
never tried man. Those engaged in
| that affair are free men. These are in
disputable facts which stand as last
ing rebuke and as protest against the
maligners of our citizens who had
neither part nor lot, directly or iudi-
rectly, in the Robson affair. Now,
Mr.. Republican Editor, is it not a
well known fact, that were there law
to criminats the party whom you say,
from the Investigation" you could
name as the "murderers" of Robson,
vengeance would not suffer them to
live single day longer than speedy
prosecution and execution would per.
init 4? Will you please explain why
those men you charge with murder
were never brought 10 justice, and who
is responsible for the neglect of that
duty In your Judgment this may only
again slack the shotgun of the ku.
klux,' and invite another invasion and
bayonet rule with despotism and an
archy complete as in ga, but of this
latter we have no fear. In conclusion
we would also inform you that we
were drafted on June 3rd, 1864, and
reported on the goth of same month al
Bloomsburg at the designated date to
the proper authorities, and complied
with all the conditions the government
required of us. Notwithstanding we
had our share of indignity and insult
in common with all our citizens. Lo,
and behold Thou art most loyal and
we an alleged copperhead.

SO far as he (Cleveland) has made any public de-
caration OF his views, we find that he has adopted
the principles which the republican party enun-
ciated and have upported-Repuolicda
The fostering of monopolies the ac-
quittal of rogues; the maintenance of a
government for the rich the manufac
ture of silver dollars worth eighty-three
cents disregard for the rights of
American citizens abroad the giving
of public lands to corporations saying
one thing in their platforms and prac-
ticing another the encouragement of
dishonesty and jobbery in every de-
partment of the government /; these
are few of the principles" which the
republican party has supported. What
they have enunciated is quite another
thing. Has anyone besides the Repu6-
licdn observed that President Cleye-
land has adopted any of these "princi-
Piles" as his own?
Before the election the Democratic
platform was denounced, misrepresent.
ed and misconstrued by the Republican
press Cleveland's letter of acceptance
went through the same ordeal his in.
augural address was twisted as much
as possible by the opposition, and his
silver letter was sharply criticised in
some quarters. These are some of biz
public utterances, in which our neigh
Dor now informs us that he has ad
opted the principles of the Republican
party.
We assert that in no instance since
his Inauguration has the President by
word or deed departed from the princi
pies laid down in the Democratic plat
forn of 1854. Because he has faith
fully Gyed up to his past record, and
his promises made as candidate Of
She Democratic party, and because the
opposition can find no fault in him.
they now attealp. to appropriate hi
virtues by saying that he is carrying
out their principles.
This claim Is part of scheme whici
rs said TO have originated in the fertil,
brain Of James G. Blaine By theiI
asserting that he is carrying out repub
lican dpetrine, it is hoped that spill
may be brought about in the Democra
tio patty, by causing dissatisfaction
But it will moi work. 1t is too thin.

Governor snyder's Monument.
A NEAT AND TASTEFUL TRIBUTE TO ONE
OF THE KEYSTONE GOVERNORS.

The Governor Snyder Monument a.
rived at Selinsgrove quietly last week,
and its erection over the ex- COVER
nor's grave in the old cemetery was
completed Saturday. 1t is not tall
structure, being probably IA feet high,
composed almost entirely of granite
and bronze. The work was performed
by the Mitchell Granite Works, of
Quincy, Mass. The base is solid
block of granite, 6 feet square, weigh
ing over five tons; upon which stands a
granite shaft about 6 feet high, sur
mounted by lfe-like statute of Gov
ernor Snyder, facing the street. Sur
rounding the base is beautiful gal
vanized iron fence.
Three sides of this surmourted ped
estal are ornamented with bass'relet
bronze medallions.
The first represents the governor at
his trade, as tanner-hard at work
second, farmer in modern style, and
third, sitting in the executive chamber
as representative and governor.
The fourth side bears beautiful in
scription, showing skilled workman
ship;
"SIMON SNYDER,
Born November 6, A. ID. 1859.
Died November 8, A. ID. 1919
1889 Member of the constitutional
Convention.
1707-lS0S Member of the House oI
Representatives of Pennsylvania.
lS02-lS0S Speaker of House ol
Representatives of Pennsylvania.
lS0S-1Sl7 Governor of the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania.
1918 Member of the Senate of Peln
sylvania."
"Erected to the memory of
SIMON SNYDER,
BY the Commonwealth of Peunsylya
nia.'
On this side also are the Goa, o.
arms and seal of the Commonwealth Of
Pennsylvania.
The three medallions and Statue
were cast 10 Paris, France, and imp rt
ed to this country. The monument il
very neat and attractive in appearance
and is a tribute worthy of man who
served his country so faithfully durnl
a prolonged public career. When In
unveiling of the monument will be, ha'
not yet been announced, but it will b'
properly observed.

1t il now believed that the sentence
of Botheras, the Lnzerne county mur-

brought about by the following letter

attending physician was testifying in
the Botheras case. His story of the
probing made me nervous. at once
remarked that the prisoner was enli-
tied to the benefit of reasonable doubt
as far as the capitol part of the charge
was concerned, for the reason that
under the medical testimony ther
known to be in the case death might
not have ensued from the shooting,
but from the probing. No other result
seemed to be possible"

their pay as Cabinet officers TO accept
their present positions. Villas was Of

sulting counsel if he would decline the

Manning, Whitney and Villas are the
politicians of the Cabinet, and they
are all broad-gauge men in politics as
we'll as in law or business, and they
are all quite too independent in for

immediate or remote profit They
have staked themselves upon two
great aims--:o make exceptionally
creditable and successful administra-

Democracy a successful and enduring
power in the land by eminently deserv-

Lamar, Garland aud Endicott are heart

merit the favor of the country, but they
are not politicians in the broad and liber-
al sense of the 9th ers.

A Busy Administration.
HOW THE PRESIDENT WORKS AS TOLD BY
AN EYE WITNESS.

Col. Mcclure, in letter TO the
Times from Washington, says:
"Idleness is certainly not one of the
besetting sins of the present admins
tration. l saw the Secretary of the
Treasury hurrying through his belated
dinner at eight o'clock last evening, 10
resume official duties. | saw the Pre-
sident hard at work at his desk at half
past ten last night, with the Secretary
of war in waitingto confer with him on
official business, and | saw Postmaster
General Villas at his office before nine
this morning, after having made toul
of inspection through several of his
subordinate departments. 1t may be
the old adage of the new broom, but
it looks as if an era of official industry
had been inaugurated as one of the
substantial reforms of the new politica
rule. And what the heads of depart
ments are doing in the way of industry
is systematically enforced through al
the ramification of the pubic service
Idlers, favorites and drones general
ly are all quaking in their boots at the
new standard of public duties, and
searching inquiries are now in pro
gress to ascertain the needless employ
es preparatory to their dismissal. Army
favorites who have, by their social and
political influence, retained desirable
positions in Washington are unable tc
find any weak spot in the impartial
armor of the new Cabinet officers, and
they will be required to take their share
of hard service. With most of tn,
new administration, this habit of in
dustry is simply the continuance ol
the methods of their lives. The Presi
deut has been noted for his industry

has always done as lawyer Sheriff

The Anglo Russian Situation.

The new and striking phases of the
Anglo-Russian question as covered by
Sundays cable dispatches, have grown
out of suddenly aroused suspicious that
both Russia and England are playing
desperate games in order to secure
powerful allies.
As interpreted in this paper several
days ago, the strong action of the
French Government in connection with
the Bosphore Egyptien affair is now
generally viewed as evidence that
France has Russia back of her, and
that the real meaning of the French
demands is that of tacit alliance with
Russia against England in all phases
of the Anglo-Egyptian and Anglo
Asiatic question.
1t is large scheme, involving prac-
tcally the partition of Africa, China
aud Turkey. But the London Times
believes or pretends to believe that
France is not acting in concert with
Russia in this case, and the very latest
phase of trouble, that of France direct
ing her representative at Cairo to re-
main until further instructions, implies
a possibility of peaceful settlement of
this magnitied absurdity growing ont
of the suppression of an alien and pes
tiferous newspaper.
France, however, cannot forgive
England for outwitting and outdoing
her in the beginning of the Anglo
| Egyptian trouble, and she has at every
turn these last two years shown de-
termined purpose to weaken England's
hold over Egypt if possible. The pres
ent appears to be an opportune mo-
ment. But if France opposes the Khe-
dive and the Sultan it will drive the
Porte to fixed English alliance, the
outcome of which would hardly be to
the advantage of France or Russia
either.
OF still deeper aud larger moment,
perhaps, is the report that Russia, in
the prospect of q near and fearful war,
which may oblige her to withdraw a
large portion of her tyrant soldier po-
lice from Poland, has offered Germany
the western and most historic portion
of ancient Poland, that is, east aud
south of the Vistula, in return for Ger
manys aid in keeping the Poles in
order during the expected war and for
actual German aid against England in
case of need.
The scheme is bold aud bitter one.
Rnssia is equal TO it. She can never
subdue the Poles or make good Rus
slams out ot them Besides, Western
Poland naturally belongs to the pew
modern German Empire and the gift of
it by Russia to Germany would
straighteH Russias western boundary
line north and south from the river
Tana in Northern Lapland southwark
to the northern slopes of the Carpath-
ian mountains. But to trade in such
rich blood az that of the old Polish
nation in order to secure money grab
in Southern Asia would hardly work
it's end and aim, and Bismark would
hardly dare be party to the scheme,
These phases of the Anglo Russiau
trouble, however, indicate to the most
casual observer what enormous destinies
hang on the fate of Russia's Lext step
toward the gate of India. If England
only lad pluck enough to despise the
rabble's call for war and say plainly to

The recent decision of the Supreme
Court in the Taylor murder case will
lessen the chances of acquittal on the
plea of insanity hereafter.
The rules of law with regard to the
unsoundness of mind necessary to &C.
quit one who has committed homicide
are stated by the Chief Justice as fol-
lows:
l. Moral insanity is not sufficient
to constitute a defense unless it be
shown that the propensities in question
exist to such an extent as to subjugate
the intellect, control the will and rem
der it impossible to do otherwise than
yield thereto.
2. No mere moral obliquity of per-
ception will protect person from pun
ishment for his deliberate act. The
jury should be satisfied with reference
to the act in question that his own rea-
son, conscience and judgment were SO
entirely perverted as to render the com.
mission thereof duty to overwhelming
necessity.
3. Another species of delusion is
this If the prisoner commits that act
under fixed bona fide belief, which is
delusion, that certain facts existed
which were wholly imaginary, but
which if true, would have been a good
defense, and the jury are satisfied that
such delusion clearly existed, it will en-
title the prisoner to an acquittal.
While slight departure from well
balanced mind may be pronounced in
sanity in medical science, yet such {
rule cannot be recognized in the admin
istration of law when a person is OF
trial for the commission of a higl
crime. The just and necessary pro
lection of society requires the recogni
ton of rule which demands create
degree of insanity to exempt from pun
ishment.
