unbecoming Captiousness.

A number Of newspapers seem to ex-
perience degree Of Joy in the fact that
Rev. Ebben Powell, an Episcopal min
: lister Of Findlay, Ohio, who came to
this country from England few weeks
ago. has been found guilty of fraudu-
lent registration and is subject to
sentence Of from one years to ten
years Imprisonment in the Ohio peni-
tentiary. We, however. do not share
In that glee. On the contrary. the facts
in the case make serious impression
on us.
Those facts are that on October rs of
last year Rev. Mr.. Powell registered
as voter in precinct A of the Third
ward Of Findlay, telling the registrars
he was native" Before election
day 1t was discovered he was an allen
and he was marked to be challenged.
He did not attempt to vote. but the
Sunday before election he delivered an
address In which he denounced. the
election officers for the loose manner In
which they enforced the laws, relating
as an instance how easily he had OBJ
tanned registration when he was not
entitled to 1t. His arrest followed.

The Lawrence Case.

The disposition of the case of band
master Allan Lawrence at court yes
terday must be gratifying to all lovers
of music as we'll as fair-minded citi-
zens generally. The evidence showed
so plainly that the serious charge
against Mr. I.awrence-who had been
accused OF having knowingly purchased
an instrument that was stolen prop
erty--was a trumped up affair, that the
judge took the case from the hands of
the jury and ordered a verdict of ac-
quittal. This is a mild disposition of
case of this nature. 1t is no slight mat
ter to drag a reputable citizen before q
court Of justice upon a flimsy preteXt
where the foundation is so baseless as
In the above case, and 1t would seem
as though power should be conferred
upon the court to intlict summary pun
ishment upon parties who lumber up
the court dockets with cases of this
character. If business men and re-
spectacle citizens generally must be
forced to appear at court and prove
their honesty at the will of any one who
sees fit by proxy or otherwise to make
an .unsubstantiated charge against
them, the affairs Of society and
trade will indeed he in chaotic
state. In Lackawanna county 1t
Is too often demonstrated that
great number Of persons con-
slider the courts of justice the prop
er places in which to air trivial dis
putes and vent personal spite. 1t would
appear to be about time that an ex-
ample was made of some of the am
bilious prosecutors who rush headlong
into court, whether they have grounds
for case or not. The complete vindi-
cation Of Mr. Lawrence will be received
with satisfaction by his many friends
in the city.

Maryland-all this despite the fact that
the Republican party had just sprung into
the political arena fully armed. In the
congress which met in 1851 the American
party had five members in the senate and
about twenty in the house, and II hal
nearly the same number of members IN
the next congress. Today, as l am toir,
these American societies claim that in the
senate and house there are go persons VINO

political battlefield as adherents of either
of the old parties. or as new party iish'-

These two factors-the question OF
free silver and the patriotic society
movement-are each fraught with rev.
olutionary possibilities. They may at
any moment between this day and NO

situation and thus render present pre-
dictions valueless. So far as the sill

mistake in trying to aid in the viola
tion of law. His falsehood before the
registrars was indefensible from any
standpoint: but against these wrong
acts may fairly he weighed the cir
cumstance that his motive was not
criminal. but educational: that he de-
sired not to show his disrespect for law
but TO arouse oublic sentiment to a
proper sense of the inefIiciency of the
laws enforcement. His fault was
venial in intent; the good which he has
done by calling attention to a notorious
public evil and thus preparing the way
for that evils abatement goes far to
excuse it.
1t is possible that Rev. Mr.. Powelrs
Anglican nativity is the cause of the
sharpness of many of the comments
upon his case. Yet why should we re-
sent the effort even of a presumably
censorious Britisher to direct us in the
right path? Granting that he was at
fault, cur own captiousness constitutes
an offence almost twice as serious from
the standpoint of morals.

The Rochester Post-EXpress gravely
remarks that the gold standard does
not necessarily bring ruin in its train,
and holds up England as an example
of the good effects of Il single standard
of currency. The Post-EXpress might
also on this line point out the benefits
of a low tariff, so far as England Is
concerned, Free trade and a contract
ed currency are all right for England,
but what is fun for England seems to
be death to the American industries.
