it expensive to get crops to market. As
we develop the productiveness of the

this disadvantage will disappear.

tivating the fig, and the East furnishes a
good market. The importatiOns, into

According to United States Senator
Teller, the wheat crop of 1880 was worth
$3.50, 600, 600 more than the crop of 1899;
and the corn crop of last year, which was
800, 000, 900 bushels in excess of that of
1880, brought the farmers less money.
1t is now suggested, as a valuable
rotation of crops, that corn ensilage be
followed by winter rye, to be plowed
under in the spring and succeeded by an
other fodder corn crop, and then the soil
be prepared and sOwn to winter wheat.

aS- The BUSINESS OFFICE Of THE DIS
PATCH has been removed TO Corner OF
Smithfeid and Diamond Streets.
A MATTER FOR THE COURTS.

The disclosures concerning the sale of
votes in the recent Congressional confer
ence at New Castle are too absolute to admit
of much doubt The declarations of the men
who received the money is at least priina
fdcie case; and the assertion of the man who
is charged with having given it, that be will
follow the example of Senator Quay in de-
cliuing to answer charges, and will obtain
vindication from the vote of the people next
fall, does not improve the matter.
All such talk is beside the mark; and
while it may be an effective stab at Senator
Quay, it has nothing to do with
the merits of the case. If purchase
of Congressional delegates has been
made, and the officers OF the law do
their duty, vindication will have to be
sought elsewhere than at the polls. Under
existing statutes such an act of bribery
comes within reach of the criminal laws.
With the specific allegations that have been
made on the subject the officers of justice
will have to be very remiss in their duty If
a Jury is not called upon to pass on the
question whether there has been a criminal
act of bribery, or whether perjury has been
committed in support of false charges to
that effect.
The criminal courts are certainly the
place where this question must be settled, II
any respect is paid to public decency. 1t is
time to apply very rigorous corrective to
the idea that charges OF corruption can be
falsely made, or that if they are true they
can be whistled down by the wind.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-07-14
THE ORGANIC REPLY.

A peculiar development of so-called
political argument is furnished by the re-
ception oi Henry G. Lea'sletter on the polit-
ical situation in the State by the Philadel-
phia Inquirer. That journal, which is the
recognized Quay organ, finds the most
crushing retort which it can make to Mr..
Lea's presentation of the issue to be the
declaration that Mr.. Lea is Democrat and
that he ought to have signed himself so.
This, in the sense in which it is intended, is
disproved by the attitude of the Inquirer.
If Democrat like Judge jerks or VIM.
NJ. Singerly had published an arraign-
ment of Republican policy, the Re-
publican organs would not have been stung
to personal slurs at the writer; but would
have addressed themselves to answering the
assertions-supposing for the sake of the
argument that any answer was possible.
But accepting the assertion as true in the
sense that Mr.. Lea has become Democrat
on the issues involved in the election of the
State executive, it might occur to an organ
not entirely purblind with partisanship that
the assertion proves altogether too much
for the Republican welfare. Mr.. Lea has
been made a Democrat by the abuses and
vices Of Republican party management,
which he criticises so tellingly. When the
organs can only reply to the criticisms with
the shrek that "Mr. Lea is Democrat," I"
may not the people conclude that the Re-
publican policy which makes Democrats of
men like Henry G. Lea is good one to vote
against?
Another inference is quite obvious from
this assertion. Mr.. Lea has left the Repub-
committed to the support Of leaders who,
when charged with grave malfeasance in
Office, do -ot take the trouble to either deny
the charges or challenge their proof; and be-
cause that party has by its nominations COM
mitted itself to the support of corporate su-
premacy over the constitutional provisions
designed for the protection of the
people. To assert that a man who
takes his stand on the principles Of
honor in Office and the subordination OF
corporations to the constitutional law, is a
Democrat, is not particularly injurious to
him, The reply which the organs find to
Mr.. Lea is not an indictment of him, but is
a certificate to the worthiness of the Demo-
cratic principles, in Pennsylvania.
Possibly the Republican organs in the
course of the campaign can fnd some more
cogent answer to those who take their stand
for political independence and popular
rights than to call them Democrats. If
they cannot their campaign literature will
be especially suited to the work of enlarging
the Democratic vote.

agent, the New York District Attorney, hay
ing directed all the prosecutions to cease,
the next thing is to commence quarreling
over the plunder. The alleged officers of
Justice have been busily asserting that they
cannot get at the evidence of the bribery.
1t is rather hard, after they have dismissed
all the suits on this pretext, to have a civil
suit commenced which brings out not only
the fact of the bribery, but the details as to
who did not get his full share and who got
the most. Nevertheless such contrast will
be valuable as showing the difference be-
tween the energy with which suits are
pushed where some one can make money
thereby, and the opposite quality that pre-
sides over the action of public off cials when
only the public honesty and the enforce
ment of the laws are concerned.
1t is said that the New York courts will
not recognize any such suit as this, which is
based on contract for bribery; but that is
an extremely superficial view. The people
of New York have elected officials expressly
shall not be punished, The New York Dis
trict Attorney, by his industry in not get
ting evidence, has notified the tugitives in
Canada that they can come home in safety.
The practical declaration is made that the
sale of public franchises is all right, and
with that principle established by the SOW
ereIgn voice of the people, why should not
Mr.. Duffy receive the support of the courts
in endeavoring to put the business on the
necessary foundation of dividing fairly?
When Maloney and Delacy are coming
home in triumph from Canada, it is difficult
to see how it can be regarded as cheeky for
poor Duffy to refuse to be satisfied with
his miserable $4,000, and to claim the
the full share of $40 1000 or $50, 600 which
should come to him out of the transaction
that has been 'vindicated" by the elections
and courts of New York as clearly as any
Pennsylvania politician has been "vindi-
cated'' BY the elections and conventions OF
this State.
Certainly Mr.. Duffy's contention must be
indorsed to this extent, that when the tax
ing OF bribes is condoned by politics and
public officials, it is no more than justice
that there should be that square distribution
of the swag which is at the foundation of
honor among thieves.

WHY NOT DIVIDE FAIRs

1t was natural to suppose that the case re-
ferred to yesterday, in which railroad as a
matter Of legal justification coolly and for
mally avowed its violation of law, was un-
surpassed in its peculiar line, but one OF the
New York aldermen who rose TO fame In
connection with the Broadway Railway
steal makes haste to prove that the munich
pal politician is iully equal to any corpora
ton in practical shameIessness and superb
ority to all considerations OF law or morali-
ty. A very adequate demonstration of this
fact is made by ex-Aldernan Duffy, who,
having got but a paltry $4,000 out of
that $3.50, 900 Broadway corruption fund, is
now suing for the lull amount OF his share.
The first thought in connection with such
q suit is that New York politics, through the

The Husband of the Woman Accused of
Forgery Expires mt Mrdford.
PHILADELPHIA, July ia little after 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon Edwin Lippincott,
the husband of Julia G. Lippincott, who is con-
fined in the Camden County Jail on charges OF
forgery. gave gasp. followed by a convulsion
in the throat. and then life passed awav. Mr..
Lppincott had been troubled with Infiamma-
ton of the stomach and bowels, and since
January 26 he has been under the treatment of
DIR. Lewis L. Sharp, at his home in Medford.
Ever since the accusations were made against
his wife, Mr.. LinpincOtt has been a silent suf-
ferer and in his list moments no words of cep-
sure were heard against his wife. The most he
would say was Poor thIngl poor thingr'
When Mr.. Lippincott first learned of his
wife's alleged forgeries he did not cast her
aside but attempted to shield her by paying off
the disputed notes and checks. He did this, as
he said he considered it his duty as husband
to shield his wife. As he paid of a note his
wife would say 1t was the last. She said this
frequently and professed deep regret. At last
Mr.. Lippncott had used up all his available
money and was forced to sell his share in the
his wife more than anything else, and from the
time she left Medford until she was brought to
Camden to be placed in jail he never answered
her letters While he did not openly speak
of his wife, he brooded over her troubles in
solitude MIR. Lippincott regretted that he
paid off any of the disputed notes, but he be-
iieved his wife, and had no idea there were SO
many.
Mrs. Lippincott was notified of the death of
her husband BY a messenger in the afternoon.
Last night, in her cell in the Camden County
Jail. she appeared greatly affected, but strug-
gjed bravely to conceal her grief from the
officials and the inmates OF the prison.

comfort emphasized. Below in the saloon the
portfolios are shut to keep the heavy sea out,
and it is stuffy and III ventilated down there,
and you are afraid of NAL de nser II you VEN
ture into that uncertain region. ABOVE on
deck it seems as if all the portfolios OF the sky
were open. Few things are SO dismal as this
combination of salt water and fresh. For the
most part, however, the sun shines, and the
sea and sky vie with one another In Dlueness,
and the sun CLEANS golden overhead. and the
life-giving breezes blow, and you are glad you
came. And the days pass pleasantly and
speedily. You have five meals a day, and the
space between seems short. And, since there
is no use in worrying about anything, you put all
troubles and anxietlts out of your mind and
all burdens and responsibilities from of your
shoulders, and you begin to know how it feels
to be quite rested.
And then land begins to come up in purple
haze out of the sea, and the coasts Of Ireland
are in sight, and the Old World of the geo.
graphies and the histories is discovered. All
day the low brown-cragged and green-topped
shores of Erin are in view. With glass you
can see the white hamlets nesting among the
hills. Red sailed fishing boats come near the
ship. Flocks of white-winged sea gulls futter
about the stern. In the afternoon q patch of
purple on the other side of the sky means hill
in Wales. When you wake in the morning you
are in dock at Liverpool. You set your feet
again on the solid ground. You are over the
ocean. Oh.
