Pertinent Paragraphs From the Reporters
Pens and Pencils,


The announcement in yesterdays issue
of this paper that Hebrew had been
killed in the mines occasioned some sur
prise. The victim was Joseph Davids.
He Tas killed at NJ Carmel and buried
here. The expression of surprise was
quite natural, rs IL was not supposed that
a Hebrew was employed in the mines in
any part OF the anthracite region. 1t has
often been remarked that one could
descend a shaft, or slope, or walk into a
drift and meet men of almost any SECT
except a Jew. And the Hebrews them
selves have frequently boasted that their
people always manage to exc out an
existence without resorting to the dam
gerous employment of mining The only
other Hebrew ever employed in the mines
of this region in the memory of the
Oldest inAabitant was one who was killed
at Minersville some years ago. The one
killed at Mt. Carmel on Tuesday had
worked in the mines about five years.

Another interesting result OF Democrat
&c Encouragement comes in the an
nouncement that the appropriations for
the judiciary department OF the Federal
government have been completely ex-
hausted and there are no funds on hand
to pay the expenses OF keeping the Fed
eral courts open. AS result United
States court In New York was compelled
TO discharge the Jurors in attendance and
adjourn.
The Judge also held that as tho prison.
ers in custody were entitled by the con-
stitution ana laws OF the United States
TO a speedy trial, and as II was impossi-
BILE to give them that trial. the only re-
course Of the court was TO discharge them
from custody. and nine prisoners held for
various offenses against the Federal laws
were promptly turned loose. Incidentally,
IL may be pentioned that these nine men
are probably the only persons IN the
United States who feel inclined TO I'M
Qualifdely approve Of the last Democratic
congress.
In New York city the various deputy
United States msrshals have been in
formed that they will receive no further
pay until the appropriation for the next
fiscal year Is available and that they must
possess their souls In patience until that
time.
This shutting down of the courts is not
due alone TO the deficiency in the revenue,
but to the fact that the appropriation was
too small. The last Democratic congress
IN addition to providing the country with
a revenue law utterly inadequate to meet
the necessary expenses of government,
went further in attempting to make a
ttmsy pretext OF economy. by cutting the
appropriations for the department of jus
tice far below the actual and necessary
needs Of that department. This was not
done in ignorance for it was possible to
make very close estimate OF the actual
amount which would be needed
The Federal courts have not been bur-
dened with any extraordinary expenses.
but the appropriation has been exhausted
in the ordinary routine way of conduct
ing their business, and simply because the
appropriation was insufficient TO keep the
courts open for the transaction Of bust
ness. AS a result some OF the Federal
courts have been forced to close their
doors. criminals have been discharged be-
cause there were no funds to pay the ex-
penses OF prosecuting them. and other
courts are practically running on credit
The only object in cutting down the ap-
preparation was TO make fictitious show
OF economy, ard burden the next Repub-
lican congress with an additional debt TO
be piled on top of the 100000 deficiency
for which they will have to provide.
The next congress will thus not only
have to raise an immense amount Of ad-
ditional revenue to pay off the back debts,
make good the deficiencies and provide
for the future running expenses of the
government. but 1t will be forced to nom
inally swell the volume of appropriations.
and thus afford the Democratic stump
speakers grounds to charge them with ex-
traVaEance
