thorities. Allowing for some possible
exaggeratlon there appears to be
enough In this matter to warrant an
application to our government for an
investigation, and 1t will not be sur
prising If the Spanish government is
soon called upon to explain why 1t
was that two American citizens were
arrested and thrown into n loathsomc
prison, in company with murdercrs
and other felons. If the facts are as

g,DtNe BEBrNp DEAD MEN

Shall the accident Of death in
terrupting a career of iniquity and
crime save the offender from the
just reproaches and contempt of
the innocent people he has de-
spoiled and wronged? Shall the abuse
of public confidence be condoned and
CLOSED over because one of the parties
associated in the conspiracy has ceased
to live? Shall we announce to public
officials that they can rob the people
and loot public treasures with impunity
and be forever respected as honest men
If they can only conceal their rascality
until death shall have snatched them
away?
only last week in New Jersey n most
touching appeal was made before the
legislative committee that is Investigate
Ing the existence of corruption in the
state offices that 1t refrain from pursu-
ing n particular line of inquiry
because the developments promised
to besmirCll the name of the de
ceased governor of that state. The
committee, credtablc to itself, in
sisted that its duty to expose vcnality
could recognize no such limit to the
scope of It's investigation, and what was
the result? Hcaped on top of the false
vouchers and fraudulent bills, the con
version of public property to private
uses, the bribery of officials and the
pollution Of legislative halls which the
searching examination of witnesses had
daily been bringing to light, the fact
was established by reluctant testimony
that the very power of pardon confided
to the discretion Of the governor had
been actually sold for a money consider
alton. Implicated in this barter and
sale of executive clcmenCy were men
who still occupy positions of alleged
honor and trust under the state of New
Jersey. TO spare the memory of the
dead governor, his friends would have
had the people of the state remain in
ignorance of the real characters of the
living abettOrs of his misdeeds.
There Is only one way to maintain the
stability of representative government
and that is to make the betrayal of a
public trust the most hcinous of
otfenses in the eyes of all self-respecting
citizens. This can be done only by ex-
posing corruption wherever it exists
The living have rights more sacred than
the dead. History is continuous. Men
and measures Of today can be discussed
and dealt with only in connection with
men and measures of the past II is not
wanton defamation of the dead to hold
up to eXccratiOn villainy in public office
although it may have been begun by
and date back to officials who can nc
longer deny. When the redemption of n
state from gang of public plunderers
depends, as it does in New Jersey. upon
the complete displacement of the rotten
ring that has for years been in control
the good work is not to be stopped for
fear it may reflect disgrace upon de.
ceased governor.

THE CANAL IN COTPT

1t is to be regretted that the supreme
court is not in condition to give a full
hearing to the canal bond controversy.
The interests involved run into the mil
lions, and the county commissioners
very properly desired an Interpretation
of the law in all its bearings from the
highest judicial tribunal before the
canal bond proposition is submitted. If
the law is unconstitutional, or if there
are any serious impcdiments to carry
ing its provisions into practical effect
without swamping the county in a
colossal debt and interminable litiga-
tion it would be much better not to
put the county to the expense of spe-
Cial election.
In view of the magnitude of the in
terests involved it would seem proper
rhat mt least five of the judges of this
district should hear and deter
mine the application for mandamus.
The hearing before single Judge,
whatever decision lie might reach, would
be unsatisfactory to the taxpayers on
both sides of the question. If the per-
emptory writ of mandamus is granted
those who are opposed to the canal
project might charge partiality. If it is
refused the promoters of the canal
would appeal to the higher court for n
final decision.
Independent of the main question,
whether the county commissioners shall
call a special election, there are many
incidental questions to be determined
that should have judicial consideration.
The law is very vague on many points
that should be settled before any eX-
pense is incurred either in holding n
special election or in the engineering
and purchase of right-of-way and ter
minal grounds. On these points the
commissioners should have the views
and conclusions Of a majority of the
district bench. Until these debatable
issues are settled it would be useless to
proceed

The reason that state prohibition con-
tinues to lose ground is that ample trial
demonstrated that liquor drinking could not
be suppressed in those counties where a
majority of the voters We're opposed to pro-
hbiton of imbibing alcoholic stimulants,
as they elected the judges, sheriffs, mayors
and constables opposed to it, and juries re-
fused to convict. Where a steady popular
sumptuary law it is not enforced Expe-
rience also shows that the most practical
way of dealing with liquor vendors is to tax
them heavily and to, deprive, them of their
licenses If they violate the conditions
thereof by keeping disorderly places. AS to
inebriates with confirmed thirst for alcohol,
the best way of dealing with them is to
have the disease cured by administering the
cure; For the rest moral suasion, good eX-
