LANCASTER. NOVEMBER gs, lsss.
Confederate Testimony.

The New York alderman, who is the
second one TO be tried for bribery in having
sold his vote for the Broadway railroad
franchise, has had his fate committed to
the hands of jury which hesitates to con-
yict him, notwithstanding the positive tes-
timony of two of his confederates that he
was one of thirteen members of the board
who combined together TO sell their votes
to the highest bidders for city fran
chises. The hesitation is natural. There
was in this case little, if any evidence
to convict, save the testimony of the
two confederates who had been promised
by the district attorney immunity from
prosecution if they told the truth against
their fellows. Such bribe to tell the
truth inevitably subjects the witness TO the
suspicion of testifying to untruth. And
here this suspicion had further ground in
the fact that these two witnesses both
lately, in another inquiry, testified that
there had been no such combination or
bribery in the passage of the Broadway
charter. 1t required great deal
of nerve for the district attorney to ask for
a conviction upon their bare testimony
and his undertaking would be hooted at as
silly but for the nearly universal belief that
the votes of the aldermen were bought for
the Broadway charter. The circumstances
which produce this beliefin the community
do not afford legal proof to sustain it, but
the moral conviction coming from them
is strong. The question in this case is
whether such usual conviction is justified
by the testimony of perjurcd associates in
the crime, who get immunity from its pen
altiesl by testifying against their fellows
and giving the law its grip upon them.
We think that it is very doubtful whether
justice should be thus served. The law
denies effect TO the testimony of fellow
conspirator which is not sustained by other
evidence, and that, even when his testi-
mony is not purchased by promise of inmu-
atty. Such testimony is not grateful to the
idea of justice. 1t is permitted because
otherwise crime would not be uncovered.
But it is doubtful whether it would not
be better to let it remain concealed than to
detect it III such fashion. NOwituess may
be bribed with money; and wherefore,
then should one be bribed by re-
lease from the penalties of the law
Out of the band of thirteen aldermen. who
are said to have united to sell their votes,
all but three or four are fed, or dead, or
have saved themselves as witnesses. The
few that ale present and out in the cold ,
appeared on the stand to testify that they
and the prisoner on trial are innocent.
Their testimony, given to save themselves
from jail, need not be given much weight ;
but it cannot be oyerthrown by the evi.
dence of two associates, who have hereto
fore sworn to innocence and now swear to
guilt under the protecting wing of the dis
trict attorneys office.

Railway building in Russia.

In an effort to augment the war scare
now epidemic in Europe, leading Dublin
paper calls attention to the rapid building
of railways that has been going on Of late
III Russia One line in particular that which
runs from the Black Sea to the Caspian.
has been pushed with great energy; and its
strategic Importance leads to the inference
that the Russian government, which con-
trolls all the railroads of the empire, is bent
on mischief.
There Is doubtless an element of pugna-
city in all the great enterprises of Russia
at the present time, but the true reason for
the building of this Caspian line may be
found by observing the commercial value
OF it. The Caspian terminus of the
road is to be the port of Baku. Near this
city is the famous " field of fire." a broad
valley covered with the flame of burning
natural gas. Vast Quantities of naphtha
have always been shipped from this point
and of late years the petroleum trade has
grown to large proportions, while the city
being the ancient port of exchange between
India and the West, has so many natural
advantages as to make it certain sooner or
later to regain that position. The harbor
is safe and deep enough to float the largest
steamers close TO shore, and near by are
fishing grounds that have always supported
"A respectable fishing fleet. The only con-
ne ;tion that this natural commercial cen
tire has with the civilized world is by Gteam-
ers running to the mouth of the Volga.
Almost any enlightened government would
long ago have taken measures TO insure the
building of railroad from Baku to the
Black Sea, for the value of the petroleum
and other products of the region would be
enough To justify it without the additional
ilducement of the Indiin trade. Ameri
cans can appreciate the wealth that lies
hidden in the :" field of fire." but Russian
enterprise has not yet disturbed the Par
SEES who journey from India TO worship
near IL.

Swallowing Quay,

Quay sits very uneaSily on the DoyleS-
town Iatclligcnccr'S stomach. Quay's repu-
tation is not clean it was thought to be
very much soiled until the people of Penn
sylvania undertook to wash it in .lecting
him state treasurer. Since then TO chal-
lenge Quay's integrity seems to be chal-
lenging the good sense of the people who
ought not TO have chosen to the treasurer
ship an unclean man.
Theoretically and practically, Quay is
clean enough for the Republican senatorial
nomination, though he may still be as
black and dirty as he ever was. The Re-
publican party must shut its mouth and
eyes and nose, after electing him to be
state treasurer, and swallow him with all
the grace it can command. The Phil
delphia Press, which undertook the as
sumption of an appearance of virtue, in
the day when Quay was candidate be-
fore,-an assumption it has long ceased to
make--says that it can take Quay now
with great pleasure because he was so
bold and brave in going with his dirty
character to the people for its washing.
The Doylestown IatcNigcpccr can come
in on the same ground. 1t need not be
| better than its party, all of whose members
resolutely voted for Quay for treasurer
| and doubtless would vote again for him foI
| senator. If the IgtC'ljgcpccr cannot
stomach Quay now it cannot stomach
its party, and had better change its flag.
