A LITTLE more than thirty miles fl

A LITTLE more than thirty miles from
the coast of Japan the Pacific ocean was
found to be over $4,000 feet deep.
Some officers surveying for a telegraph
cable had their wire break at this depth
without reaching the bottom. This is
said to be the deepest sounding ever
made, and Is so deep that the two high
est mountains in Japan placed one over
the other in this abyss would leave the
summit of the upper one, two-thirds of
a mile below the surface of the water.

JUDGE WADDELL, of Chester county
in his charge to jurors recently made
clear to them how it is that costs may be
imposed upon man who is acquitted of
an offence with which he may be
charged:
This" said the Judge, sis a subject
that the public do not generally under
stand. A jury may be satisfied that the
man is not guilty of the crime with
which he is charged, and yet he may
have behaved in such a way as to lead
others to believe that he was guilty
His indiscreet or unlawful behavior may
have been of such a character as to wal
rant an investigation and to have JUST
fled the commonwealth in making 1t.
The defendant in such cases, although
innocent of the crime, or at least not
proven guilty to the satisfaction of the
jury, is nevertheless to blame in some
degree, and imposing the costs upon
him is the only punishment that can be
given him for that offense, and it is no
injustice or inconsistency to impose
them upon him. To impose the costs
upon him for the purpose of saving that
amount to the county treasury would not
only be a false idea of economy, but
absolute injustice. 1t is only when, in
the opinion of the jury, that the con
duct Of the defendant has been sIIcb as
to make him deserving of some punish
ment that they can acquit him of a
crime charged and yet impose costs in
cases known as misdemeanors,

Washington Letter.

Washington, u. c., Nov. Il. 1894 -
Those Republicans and Populists who
are irving so hard to make somebody
think that they believe the Democratic

Reference Case.

Two important reference hearings are
in progress at the Court house, before
Chief Justice Peters aud Justice WisWell-
they are suits brought by the Skowhegan
Water Power Co. against the Slowhe-
gan Pulp Company. and against Francis
+. Heath and John I. Richards. The
suits are nominally for the collection of
certain assessments upon share of the
capital stock of the plaintiff corporation
which stand upon the bookss of the
names of the defendants; but in reality
these suits are expected to settle impor-
tant legal questions which are now in
dispute, and to determine the rights and
duties of the Skowhegan Water Power
Company in relation to the different
owners of the water privileges and the
rights and duties of the several owners
towards the parent company.
Several of the points originally in
dispute have been settled by agreement,
but few are left for the referees to
determine.
Counsel for plaintiff corporation are
White Il Carter of Lewiston and Leslie
c. Cornish of Augusta, for defendants
are Baker, Baker Il Staples Of Augusta
1t is hoped that these suits will finally
determine the water power rights in
Skowhegan about which there has been
more or less friction for several years.

CHARLIE HARBAUaH DEAD.

Nine months ago Charles E. Har.
baugh was carried unconscious from
the office of his newspaper, the Erie
Record. suffering all but death from
strangulated hernia. Month after
month since then he has been fight
ing for his life with cheerfulness, q
determination and a high courage
that awakened the waImest interest
and sympathy of all who knew him
and especially of the newspaper
fraternity of Kansas, among whom he
was one of the best known and most
popular.
But the odds were all against him
and last Saturday he died.
His relatives and, home friends,
and particularly his brave young
wife, who has been tower of strength
to him during these long months Of
warfare, may be assured that they
have the heartfelt sympathy of the
newspaper publishers all over Kan
sas, who knew Charlie Harbaugh and
loved him as writer of rare ability,
q steadfast friend, good comrade
and a modest Christian gentleman

to learn of q single vote that Smith
could have given Bennett If he had
wanted to. Now how can there be a
bargain between two men when one
of the men has nothing to give? So
it seems to us that there is absolutely
no evidence upon which to base a
charge of fraud or unfairness.
Mr.. Hankins himself admits that
Smith neither did anything dishora.
BILE nor knew of any such thing being
done by others for him. Now even
granting that there was wrong done,
why should man who was not only
innocent but ignorant of it be made to
pay the penalty? We cannot under
stand how Mr.. Hawkins can gain the
consent of his own conscience to at
tempt to defeat Mr.. Smith when he
acknowledges that Mr.. Smith has
done him no wrong.
Personally we have and shall have
no word to say against MIR. Hankins'
We voted for him in the convention
and we should have supported him at
the polls most cheerfully if he had
been nominated. We do not doubt
his honesty in thinking he was de.
feated unfairly, but we do think he is
mistaken in that belief. We trust he
will come to see it in that light him
self and withdraw from race which
can have no possible result except
perhaps to defeat man whom Mr..
Hawkins himself acknowledges deser.
yes to be elected, thus not only doing
an individual injustice but weakening
the party which he has been helping
all his life to build up.
