Mr.. Tricks cool impudence is n of
the most beautiful things we have
ave heard of. 1t seems to us as soon
as tranquility is restored and the
works placed in the hands of their
owners. it will be the duty of Cover
nor Pattison to disband the troops
and stop the enormous drain IN the
resources of the State.
Just figure it out:-6,0 900 privates
at a dollar a day, $4,000; 500
officers at from So to $40 a
day, average about So, So, 600; main
tenance say fifty cents a day per man,
81, 900; total $50, 900 per day. $1o5, 600
per week. That is what Mr.. Carnegie,
philanthropist and protectionist for
the dear sake of his working people,
is costing the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania. And he wants continuous
protection at that cost to enable him
to reduce his dear protected work
mems pay from $25 to $23 per heat.
Nothing like fine public spirit.
Consider the loss to the Common
wealth by keeping $500 men from all
profitable employment. There you
have at least another 500, 600 a week.
Mr.. Carnegie may be great, but he
certainly comes high.

the Veteran Zouaves Band. were attacked
by a big black snake yesterday afternoon
while sitting reading under a tree at the
side of a rivu'et that flows along the base
of a mountain in Washington Valley.
Miss Drake heard a strange Kissing
sound which at first she thought was q
bee and glancing around was Mortified to
see a huge blacksnake with his head erect
and within a few feet of her face.
She gave q scream and sprang to her
feet, as did the other two ladies, and at
That moment the snake leaped forward
where they had been sitting, but fell
short of his mark.
,eIhe shrieks of the women brought Cen
eral Drake, who was roaming around
rear by, quickly to the scene, and grab
Ding a stick. he advanced on the snake.
The reptile stood Its ground and made
several attempts to strike at the General,
who finally managed to get in a blow on
its back, when 1t slowly retreated5 across
the brook and disappeared among some
rocks.

LAWYER PESHALL's technical points
constitute the boldest and most in
sidious attack on the right of the
States that has yet been made. His
claim, as set forth by Judge Daily. APP
pears to amount to this, that a State
has no power to regulate by statute
the proceedings in criminal causes.
Just what wou1d constitute a valid
procedure accofdingt to his. ideas, tits
hard to see, unless it may be- the, PRO
cedure which was in vogue when tbs
amendment to- the Federal Constitu-
ton was adopted. If one statutory
change of universal application is I'M
constitutional, it is hard to see why
any one should be constitutional.
These cases are wholly, different
from the Hallinger case. There
the claim is that the statute deprives
the accused of his constitutional right
of trial by jury. Ii this claim is once
established, the unconstitutionaIity
of the statute is self evident. In
these cases. no such claim can be set
mp. The statute only regulates the
method of exercising the constitu-
tional right of trial by jury, and as
suredly the State has no power left to
deal with criminals if it has not
this power of regulation.
If Nj. Peshall's plea should be sus-
tanned, State government wouldsbe a
farce, and the country would need a
revolutions to readjust the functions
of rulership. 81

Senator Hudspeth's Attack on the
Court.

Senator Hudspeth's Attack on the
Court.
1t is a pity Senator Hudspeth
should have thought it his duty to
make an onslaught on the entire
Judiciary of the State in his defence
of the Bell Tower balIot-b suffers
yesterday. We do not think it can
have done his clients much good, and
it certainly is offensive to that public
opinion which he regards as SO power
full.
To the jurors against carrying
into the jury box the impressions.
the prejudices, gathered in daily in
tercourse with men, was not only the
Senator's right, but his duty. At his
request, or without his request, I'M
doubleday, the Court would charge
them to the same effect. We have no
doubt. Judge Lippincott desires and
would earnestly enjoin that the cases
be tried strictly upon the evidence
presented.
But, to accomplish this end, it was
not necessary to review the results of
the previous election cases and to de-
nounce the Court and juries that had
tried them and the Courts that had
reviewed them, as governed and de-
termined by public opinion, and not
by the evidence. These eases have
been taken to every Court in the State
and to a United States Court. Every
resource that the ingenuity of counsel
could contrive has been exhausted to
obtain a reversal of the original judg-
ment. The same plea, that the con-
victions were the result of popular
clamor, has been advanced in one
Court after another. Again and
again the claim has been rejected, and
the methods of the trial, the conduct
of the Court and the wisdom and rec
titude of the juries have been en-
dorsed. The plea has, besides, been
weighed in the great court of public
opinion, and declared worthless.
1t is hard to see how Senator Hud-
speth could induce himself to renew
it now. 1t is hard to see how he
could have hopedto impress the jury
favorably by IT. Taken all in all, his
attack upon the court appears to be a
most unfortunate episode of the most
unfortunate series of cases.
