Senator Quay's DEFENSE.

1t is doubtful II the answer which Senator
Quay made on Monday in the Senate to
the charges which have been pending
against him SO long viii be generally &c
cepted as satisfactory. His answer was a
general denial Of them. But it is difficult
TO see how be could have made any better
answer. It Is true that he shows that there
was some little foundation for some Of the
charges, but intimated that he was forced
to suffer for the wrongdoing of Others.
Senator Quay is entitled TO fair play. he
has made a square issue with the authors Of
the charges and, as he is on the defensive, it
is their duty now to bring forward their
evidence In support of taem. If they fail
TO do that they must admit that they did
him an injustice through ignorance Of the
truth or stand convicted Of having deliber-
ately injured him.
Several Of the leading northern papers
printed the charges and dared the senator
to sue them for libel. Assuming that the
defense which he read in the Senate Is in
every respect true, it would be interesting
to know why be did not accept their chal-
lenge. II it be true that he suffered in

have been greatly to his benefit to have had
that fact known.
One Of the gravest Of the charges was that
while treasurer Of Pennsylvania he used
the money Of the state in private specula-
and lost large amount of it. 1t has been
stated time and time again that he would
have been placed in very disagreeable po-
sition had not Senator Don Cameron come
to his assistance and loaned him 100000.
In his defense he says that Senator Cam
eron did lend him 100000. but the money
was not used to pay his own debts, but the
debts of partner of his, contracted in
speculation Of one kind and another. 1t is
left to be inferred that this partner Of his
was treasurer Of the State and had mis-
appropriated state moneys.
Those who are responsible for the charges
cannot, of course, permit the truth of Sena-
tor Quay's statement to remain unchal>
lenged. To do so would be to admit that
they had willfully published false charges.
1t may be expected, therefore, thst there
will be great deal more said about the
charges before they are finally and forever
dropped

Wondrous Wtsdom.

Many years ago. says the Philadelphia Times,
there lived in an eastern land q man who was
prominent and thought TO be rich. When he
died, however. it was found his possessions
were very slight indeed In bis win, among
some trifing iegacies. was the following:
'of the three young men who consider them
selves my children have Just claim to one

adopted. VIII not say who the rizhtful heir

nor heard Of one another, but at the appointed
time again made their appearance before the
cadi for veal or woe.
Where is your ring?" he asked Of the first
and eldest.
The gold band was handed to the Judge with
the remark: 1T is here. 1t has brought me

Then was questioned the second.

silent. A blush stole DER his face, and his eyes
fell to the earth. Then, after struggle, he
managed TO say:

The cadi, handing HIM over the thousand
pieces Of gold, cried:
THE moneyis yours. By your disposal of
the ring l recognize that you are really your
fathers SON."

They Struck a Deal.

The wits have in all ages found funny things
to say about the professions OF the doctor ana
the preacher, says the Chicago Times. Some
times the witticisms come directly from gentle
men engaged in those professions, for they do
occasionally come together in a tilt. No two
mon are better known or are more popular in
the aristocratic suburb OF Evansville than Dr.
Ed Webster and the Rev. N. Fl. Hills, pastor of
the Second Presbyterian church of that village.
Some little time ago the reverend gentleman
hurt his knee which accident laid him up for
repairs. DR.. Webster was called in to
attend him, and in due course brought
him around all right. One of Mr.
Hills first visits, when he got out, was
to the physician, and at once he asked the
amount OF the doctors bill. The doctor said
in careless way: "oh, never mind the bill,
Mr.. Hills; it's nothing" But the minister
would not have it that way; he said there was
no reason why he should not pay his bill the
same as other people, and again asked the
amount. DR.. Webster then said:
IN tell you what III 90. I'll make a con-
tract with you, Mr.. Hills If you will agree to
get me into heaven will contract to keep you
out" The reverend gentleman could not
help smiling at the proposed arrangement but
as he looked at Dr. Ed he replied: "Well, l
don't believe dare enter into an absolute con
tract. doctor, but shall certainly do the best l
can for my SHARE"

London are said to be literally covered with
luminous posters declaring that: ION May

entire universe will be seen a union of that

that which should be separated. On one

Two different KIND Of Men.


Before Mr.. Clevelsnd's letter against the
free silver coinage bill was published the
republicans and Mr.. Clevelands enemies in
his own party were constantly asserting
that he did not dare to state his views on
the silver question, Notwithstanding there
was no evidence to justify any assumption
that his views on that question had under
gone change. They thought that, having
every prospect Of being the next candidate
Of bis party for President, he would regard
it as polite 10 remain silent with respect to
a question upon which his party was
divided. They were greatly surprised, there
fore. by his letter. and while they were COM
PEELED TO admire his frankness and courage
they asserted with great positiveuess that
he had destroyed his chances for the presi-
Dental nomination Of his party.
But tho same man who wrote the letter
which drew from Mr.. Cleveland an answer
placing him on the side of those opposed to
free silver coinage also wrote at the same
tune a similar letter TO Gov. Hill. Both
letters were invitations TO an anti-free sill
yer meeting.
Gov. Hill did not answer the letter sent
to him He will hardly dare to say that he
did not receive it. Why did he not answer
it, Was It because he was afraid to antago-
nize the democrats of the casts He certainly
did not show as much courage as Mr..
Cleveland.
Gov. Hills friends will say, perhaps, that
his views on silver are well known, and
therefore there was no reason why he should
have expressed them again in answer to an
invitation TO an anti-free silver meeting.
But So were Mr.. Cleveland's. He had said
that he was opposed to free silver coinage
unless the commercial countries of Europe
would agree 20 1t. There was no more rea-
son, therefore, why he. more than Gov. Hill,
should have restated his views.
But Mr.. Cleveland is not the same kind of
a man that Gov. Hill is. He is willing that
the people shall know where he stands
upon any public question. He doesn't want
them to rest under any any misunderstood
ing with regard 10 his opinion upon public
matters. And his honesty and straightfor-
ward way Of dealing with the people is
what makes him popular. The people like
an honest mana man who has the courage
10 say what he thinks and 30 do what he be-
beves TO be right regardless Of consequences
10 himself. II Gov. Hill were such a man
his admirers would have better reason for
thinking of him in connection with the
presidency.

Mr.. Cleveland's anti.silver letter does not
seem to have changed Editor Watterson's
opinion relative to his prospects for being
the democratic presidential nominee in 1892
In an interview, in answer to the question,
Who will be the democratic nominee in 1922
he said: 'I do not see how we can get
away from Cleveland. He seems to repre-
sent the logic of the situation. His anti
silver letter was not opportune. The senti-
ment In favor of free coinage in the south
and west is so strong that the view he has
taken of the matter may serve to imperil
his chance for the nomination, but that is
only a possibility. Ibelieve he will be nomi-
mated" Some of our esteemed contempo-
raries rashly expressed the opinion few
days ago that Watterson's letter to Hill
would not have been published had Mr..
Cleveland's anti-silver letter appeared a
day or two sooner. But they are seldom
right.

Judge Roarman,s Peril.

The evidence in support of the charges
against Aleck Boarman, judge of the
Northern district of louisiana, must be
pretty conclusive or congress would not go
10 the trouble and expense of impeaching
him. There have been rumors for quite a
long time to the effect that he is not fitted
for his position, and is not conducting him
self as a United States judge should.
There are quite a number of charges
against him. the chief ones being that he
has taken public money for his private use
and has permitted his decisions to be in
fluenced by money considerations.
Judge Boarman is quite well known to the
bar of this city, having held term Of
court here. He is native of Yazoo City,
Miss, and is about SO years of age.
A while before the war of secession he
settled in Shreveport, La. and engaged In
the practice of the law. He served through
the war on the confederate side. He was
city attorney Of Shreveport in 1869, and
was then known as a democrat, though
some of his warmest friends were republi-
cans. He was elected to the Forty-second
congress to complete an unexpired term Of
deceased member from Louisiana, and
while in congress he changed his politics,
becoming republican. Itwas In 1881 that
he was appointed to his present position.
There have been very few impeachment
trials-only seven since the foundation of
the government The last one was that of
Secretary of War Belknap, and it took
place fifteen years ago. Two United States
district judges have been impeached, viz. i,
Judge John Pickering, of New Hampshire,
in 1904, and Judge West W. Humphreys,
of Tennessee in 1861. Both judges were
charged with nalfeasance in Office
Judge Boarman is man of agreeable
manners, but not. perhaps, very deeply
learned in the law. His appointment,
doubtless, was the result Of the efforts of the
republican administration to build up a re-
publican party in the south.

planted them, says the Detroit Free Press.

time and then inquired:

Commerce Appears to Grow Corrupt
Day after day the telegraph is bringing
more details Of the alleged conspiracy of
Secretary Gibson of the Chicago whisky
trust to destroy the ShufeldU distillsry by
means Of powerful explosives and with the
connivance, as be apparently supposed, of
government agent, who was merely acting
q part under instructions. Had his purpose
succeeded more than $50 lives would have
been sacrificed, to say nothing of the valu-
able property destroyed
When Secretary Gibson was arrested
suspicious-looking bottle full of light blush
fluid was disclosed. So securely was the
cork wired and sewed in that it was drawn
with no little difficulty. Only one single
| drop Of it tried upon a piece of paper is
said to have produced flash Of fame and
sulphuric fumes that filed the room and
could be quenohed only after it
had been drenched with
bucket Of water. Thereafter everything
that came in contact with the liquid was in
stantly inflamed, so that the bottle was
finally sealed up with the greatest difficulty.
This shows the deadly danger Of the stuff.
hpeIb III Inc puSSeSSlOn OF MT. GlDSOn are
said TO definitely fix upon him the purpose
of destroying the rival distillery. Aside
from that, what possible use could q reputa-
bic business man have for any such danger
GUS explosive?
Were this merely an isolated instance of
oversealous and INSCRIPTIONS business OPP
position IL would really not be worth refer
ring to. But it isn't Unfortunately SINH
lar cases OF recklessly malignant envy are
coming to be heard of altogether too often
In the great business centers. Commerce
appears to be drifting into a tendency to
cheat and take unfair advantages much too
| rapidly Of late. How a man SO prosperous
| as the accused In this case can bring himself
to enter upon such dishonest enterprise of
inhuman cruelty is past comprehension.
No penniless and desperate thug could have
done worse if he tried. Before 1t goes too
far q wholesome check should be put upon
this developing tendency to INSCRIPTIONS
methods in competition for trade.

Close observers of politics seem to think
that Speaker Reeds arbitrary course in the
chair Of the House has wholly destroyed his
future as political factor, and permanently
consigned him to ultimate obscurity at the
end Of his term. In the next House he will
probably not be very conspicuous for any
thing but Observation-Disclosures and we'll de-

slightly reduce his accumulation of meat
however, and contract the great disten-

Public sentiment overrules the law when
prisoner is convicted and simply fined /
cent for killing another man. But when
the deed was provoked by the unbearable
irritation of having the victim fagrantly
vilify the mother Of the accused, as in the
recent Louisville case, the virtual verdict of
justifiable homicide appears to be not far
from right. Abuse of that character is really
beyond human endurance
