Ouay's Vindication.

Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania, has been
successful in the libel suits he brought
against two democratic newspapers In his
state for publishing fac smile of a oerti-
fcate of deposit from the wrecked Keystone
National Bank Of Philadelphia for S., SIT q,
indorsed by him and the convict Bardsley,
defaulting ex-treasurer of Philadelphia, and
for asserting that he received q portion of
Bardsleys stealings. One of the suits was
tried in Beaver, the homo of the senator
and the other in Pittsburg.
The vindication Senator Quay has re-
ceived is not one that would satisfy man
having very high sense of honor, because
the verdict in each case was rendered by a
jury that was made up almost wholly, IL
not entirely, Of the senator's political
friends. The prosecuting attorney in each
case took advantage Of the privilege which
the Pennsylvania law gives him of requir-
ing any juror to stand aside. The name Of
that juror is not again called unless 1t be-
comes necessary to do so to complete the
jury.
Each side has four premptory challenges.
The prosecuting attorney In each case,
by requiring the democrats to stand
aside as the names OF the jurors were
called and exercising his right OF challenge
succeeded in getting jury friendly to the
senator. Under the circumstances IL the
evidence in support Of the defense had been
quite strong it would have been difficult to
have obtained verdict In favor of the
newspapers.
The evidence brought out at the trial did
not show that the senator received any part
of the Bardsley's plumber, but it seems
strange that if he knew there was no evil
dence connecting him with Bardsley's
wrong~doing he should have been SO anx-
ious to get jury of his party friends. His
vindication would have been far more
satisfactory if the verdict had been rem
dered by a jury composed Of both repub-
licans and democrats. A jury composed
wholly of democrats would not have rem
! dered verdict of aoquittal if the evidence
| showed the senator had been libeled. And
the moral effect Of verdict of such jury
would have been far more effective in con-
| viacing the public that the senator is a
greatly abused man than the verdict he has
/ obtained.
1t is expected that Senator Quay will be
candidate for reelection, his present term
expiring year from next March. 1t was
necessary. therefore, for him to take notice
of the charges which the democratic press
of his state had brought against him in con-
nection with the Bardsley defalcation. But
why is it that he has never taken any notice
OF other very serious charges which some Of
the New York papers brought against him
year or 50 ago? Is it because there was
evidence of the truth of those eharges2 1T
certainly looks SO in view OF the promptness
with which he brought suit against
the papers which published the charge con-
Meeting him with the Bardsley steal-a
charge he believed could not be proved
although his action in excluding democrats
from the jury justifies suspicion that he
was afraid that there was possibility of
damaging testimony of some sort being
| brought against him.

A Costly Smile,

Police Justice Duffy reached the Tombs court
yesterday morning. looking so stern that sew
eral old offenders waiting TO be called shivered
perceptibly, says the New York World. When
he took his seat behind the bench, however, the
judge beheld q magnificent bouquet of roses,
lilies and smilax. The lines in his face soft
ened, and he looked at the ceiling and sighed
The court officers saw the flowers before the
judge did. They could not help but notice a
card, daintilV attached to the bouquet, on which
was written IN feminine hand the words,
From a friend"
The judge was vlsibly affected by the gift.
One prisoner told his story, and Judge Duffy
asked him to tell It over again. The Judge had
been looking at the flowers,
Presently three young women were brought
up for lettering on the Bowery There were
fined Us apiece. One Of them, Mamie Hoffman,,
looked at the Judge and smiled.
E'YounR lady, he said and there was severity
in bis tone, that smile will cost you Just S.

Then he turned his eyes toward the bouquet
and fell into a reverie again.

The Spirit of the South.

From the 81. Louis Globe Democrat (Rep.).
In any war which the United States should
engage in. such of the men who wore the gray
as are still of fighting age would be glad to fight
side by side with the men who wore the blue.
The stars and stripes would have no sturdier
defenders than the men who once formed part
of the armies of Lee and Johnston. The law
which bars such men from official positions in
the army or navy has long outlived all reason
for being, and should be repealed.

A recent wreck on the Wabash railroad
is explained in a remarkable way. At the
examination the fireman testified that the
engineer was one Of the most careful run
ners on the road. and always kept his head
out of the cab window from the time no left
one station until be pulled up at the next.
just before the accident the fireman thought
the train appeared to be running wildn
past the switches, but the engineer was
leaning in his window as usual and gazing
straight ahead, so be said nothing. Presently
the accident occurred. Now the fireman is
sure that the engineer died of heart disease
shortly after leaving the last stopping place
before the casualty, and the train had been
run by Corpse for fifteen or twenty miles
before it met another train head-on ia the
FOG.
