TIE strict censure under which the
press Of Germany is still held by the
authorities is we'll illustrated by the con-
fscation of the socialist paper Vorwaerts
on the charge of anti-patriotic utteranCes.
The Emperor William Memorial Church
contains a relief representing Isaac and
Rebecca watering camels. The Vor-
waerts states what proves to be the
truth that upon this relief has been in
scrlbed in some unacc1untable manner,
the words: What camels the fathers OF
our greatest city have been. May 2.
1895" and no. 5000 marks. How shah
by" This confscatlon of the newspaper
upon charge like The above, seems ludi-
crous from an American standpoint and
If applied to our press would necessltate
the conhscation of all our papers
Though nomInally enjoying the freedom
OF the press the gags applied uy the gov
eminent of Germany, under one pretense
or the other, serve to squelch quite etfec-
tually, any free and candid discussion Of
the social public or affairs of that country.

THEODORE ROosEyELT's vigorous arti-
Gle on the enforcement of law, published
IL the SeptemberFoIum, brings most for
chilly before the public the discussion of
civil service reform from standpoint
which well merits notice. When public
officer enters upon his duties, he stands
between the choice OF two actions; the one,
imperative, the performance of his duties
IN accordance with the dictates of his
oath; the other, more or less imperative
(for his own good, the performance or
rather partial performance of his
duty with special regard to the wishes of
his constituents.
Ills oath always demands that lie exc
cute the law fully and lmpartially. his
constituents often demand that he carry
them rs far as will be of special benefit
to them or at least Will not affect them.
It Is conceded that under a we'll regu-
lated government as our own, mob law is
not UNSUITABLE. The conception Of mob
law rs entertained by most is the
violent breaking OF the laws Of the
land. The fact that The acton of COM
munlty IN causing a law 10 be null and
void by any other step except that pre-
scnbed 10y our LAWS, whether done vio-
lently or quietly Is mob law. There is
no difference between Violent assistance
to law and the quiet disobedience, ex-
cept IN the degree cf the violence. In
deed, it is the latter that is the most
dangerous and needs the most careful
examination. & . sgsyL Il
The average public officer IS the re-
Election Of the people who elect him. He
wishes re. election and Will administer the
laws very much as they wish.
II cath and policy clash. policy is
generally followed. The great ann there
for Il TO get the people headed in the
right direction and the civil service reform
will follow; for as soon as they demand the
honest ana impartial execution If the
laws and censure any connivance, the
essential condition TO secure reform has
been secured.

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1895-08-13
A MISSING WITNESS FOUND.
JOHN soMERs, THE LOUD WITNESS.
LOCATED AT PITTsBURG.

He Expresses a Willingness to Come
Here for the Trial If His Expenses
Are Pnfd-The solicitor General Ar
ranges All This and So Wires SOM
ers-A Second Telegram States That
somers' Children Are IIl, But HE
VIII De Present if Possible.
There has been considerable talk re-
Gently about the mysterious disappear
ance of John Somers, the principal wit
ness against c. D. Loud, charged with
the killing of Phil Fitzpatrick, at Thun-
derbolt last June. Somers was present
at the time the tragedy occurred, and
he is the only man, perhaps, who can
give the inside facts connected with
the killing, save of course the two liv-
ing main parties. Being the principal
witness for the state, it was necessary
to have him at the trial. Had he not
been found a continuance might have
been found necessary.
The solicitor general. realizing this.
has been interchangeable in trying to To-
cate the missing man. somers' wife re-
fused to give any information concern
ing him, or said, rather, that she did
not know of his whereabouts. She sta
ted, however, that he was not in Pitts
burg.
Mr. Fraser kept up the hunt. however,
and yesterday morning. or late the night
before, he received a telegram from a
friend saying that Somers was in Pitts
burg. The information was also given
that he was willing to come and testify
if his expenses here and back and his
hotel expenses here were paid. He was
communicated with and agreed to this.
The solicitor general at once conferred
with Mr.. j. A. G. Carson, acting chair
man of the board of county commissioners,
regarding the necessary expenditure. AS
there was no time for a meeting of the
full board Mr.. Carson decided at once to
grant the expense needed and to assume
the responsibility till the board meets.
The solicitor general wired Mr.. Somers
this information and in the afternoon re-
ceived a reply. From the tone of the tele-
gram 1t is still unsettled when Somers
will arrive here, as his leaving Pittsburg
will depend upon the condition of his
children, they being quite Ill. If they are
well enough Somers win start at once;
if there seems any danger to the chill
dren his leaving time will be delayed. If
he cannot get here in time for the trial
Thursday possibly a day of two continu-
ance will be granted so that he can be
here before the trial is called.
There is a good deal of interest In this
case, the parties being so well known and
the tragedy such sensational one. Maj
p. w. Meldrim and Messrs. I. S. Morgan
Jr., and w. p. LaRoche will defend Mr..
Loud
